So, I trained. A whole lot. And it still feels like it's amounted to nothing. But after training all my Pokemon to level 25, I went to the Burnt Tower, where my rival was waiting. His Pokemon were no trouble at all, so that was quick and easy. I talked to Eusine, who has spent his whole life searching for Suicune, who just happened to reside in the basement of this tower with Entei and Raikou. But, being an absolute dumbass, Eusine just sat around while I waltzed down to the basement. The Legendary Beasts Hamsters scattered, but not before Suicune stopped by to give me a hello, which made Eusine a bit jealous.

I attempted to take the Ecruteak gym challenge, but, while I breezed through the gym trainers, rather regrettably, Morty took out my Pokemon rather easily. However, this is easily explained by the fact that everyone on my team sans Vivi had basically USELESS moves against his Pokemon. Robin and Chopper have all Normal-Type movesets, Zoro's only non-Normal move is Rock Throw, and, because all Morty's Pokemon have Poison as their second type, Nami's PoisonPowder is useless and Magical Leaf might as well be. So I've decided to train everyone up to level 30 before taking Morty on again.

While training, Robin evolved into an Espeon! ^^ Yeah, had you all fooled, didn't I? ;p Kidding, kidding, but yes, I've decided to use an Espeon, though I'm a bit upset that Robin won't learn a Psychic type move until level 36. Also, instead of trying to remember what moveset changes I have or haven't mentioned, I'm just going to list my entire team's movesets here:

Nami:
Tackle, Synthesis, Magical Leaf, PoisonPowder

Zoro:
Slam, Rock Throw, Rage, Screech

Vivi:
Ember, Confuse Ray, Flamethrower, Quick Attack

Chopper:
Uproar, SonicBoom, Quick Attack, Supersonic

Robin:
Tail Whip, Swift, Quick Attack, Sand-Attack

Now that Vivi has learned Flamethrower, I'm going to evolve her as soon as I get my hands on a Fire Stone. I believe that I already have registered the kid who gives you the Fire Stone in my Pokegear, so it's just a matter of waiting until he finds it.

And that's everything for now! Next time, I'll hopefully have beat Morty and his manscarf into the ground. ^^ Ciao~!
