It would not take Amelia very long to find an opponent to battle against. She had just been walking along when another, older girl challenged her, the girl's attitude saying she held herself in high regard. Preparing for a possible challenge, the Lass sent out a Geodude while Amelia sent out Pumpkaboo. Fearing that Geodude might know a Rock-Type move, she had Pumpkaboo use Trick-or-Treat to make the enemy a ghost-type before waiting for an opening to attack. When it became apparent that Geodude didn't know anything that could hit Pumpkaboo it was simply Confuse Ray and Astonish until the Rock was down and out for the count. The next opponent was a Pidgey and Amelia chose Driffloon to make it an aerial battle. It became apparent that Pidgey didn't know anything to harm Driffloon, so Amelia would have Driffloon Constrict the Bird pokemon until it couldn't go any further, more then willing to deal with a little lost accuracy, though she had Driffloon try to fly above the sand that Pidgey swept up. Her finally opponent this round was an Oddish and she sent out Lickwick to deal with this one, using Fire Spin to trap it and Ember to damage it further. She saw the difference in power that the rain caused in concerns to Fire moves and made a mental note of that.

The next trainer she encountered was a young boy, who seemed nervous to face her but still did so, causing her to give him a kind smile as the battle began. The first pokemon out for this boy was a Rattata and she rewarded him fighting his fears by using Phantump, having the shiny little tree spirit tackle the rat to the point that it lost consciousness. The next opponent was an Ekans and Amelia had Shuppet handle this one, battering it with Night Shades from a distance while doing her best to stay out of Poison Stings range, even if it was only half effective. She didn't want to risk that poison. The final opponent was a touch one in the form of a Growlithe, though she sent out Pumpkaboo, once again opening with Trick-or-Treat, then using Scary Face to slow Growlithe down until Pumpkaboo was getting a little weak. that that point, she would call it back and send out Phantump to use Astonish against the now Dual Ghost/Fire type. She would keep this up until it was finished or switch to Litwick and use Astonish and Smog until she won if it looked like Phantump might get knocked out or it got burned.

She would then return to the pokemon center before heading out again. The first trainer she came across this time was a woman who was actually using a parasol like a normal person for the rainy weather and a battle quickly commenced. Her opponent's first pokemon, a Lilpup, didn't worry her and she sent out Litwick to deal with it. When it was revealed that Lilpup her Oder Sleuthe, she was worried a bit but had Litwick stick to using Smog, Fire Spin, and Ember for a long range battle while using Minimize to help with dodging. Her opponent's next pokemon was a tricky Water-Type, so she used Phantump again to try and take it down with a combo of Confuse Ray and Astonish. The final pokemon was her trickiest opponent thus far, a Castform. She would initially send out Driffloon for fight it, but a single powder snow was cause to call back her friend and send out Shuppet to Night Shade the Weather Pokémon to unconsciousness. She would continue to switch out pokemon as needed and if she managed to win without losing anyone, she would use her potion and oran berries to heal up her team just incase before attempting to return to the pokemon center.

She would be interrupted by another girl though, who seemed angry at her for some reason and decided to battle her. having no choice, Amelia sent out Pumpkaboo first, but when it was put to sleep, she would send out Shuppet, if it wasn't knocked out and who could counter Sing with it's Insomnia ability. If it was knocked out though, she would just wait for the sleep to wear off before resuming. The next opponent, a Flabébé, would be met with Litwick, who would use Smog to knock it out while taking half damage from Fairy Wind. Minimize would be used to make dodging easier. When the final pokemon, a Jigglypuff, was sent out, she would use Driffloon and once she confirmed that sleep was more an inconvienence then an actual threat, she would have Driffloon Constrict the Jigglypuff to it's own sleep.

After healing up again, she sent out on the route, this time coming across a boy with a net. Apparently he was a fan of Lorette and Amelia hoped the best for him in his endeavor to impress the gym leader in her head. When the battle started, she would use Pumpkaboo again, having it give Surskit the Ghost-typing through Trick-or-Treat and attempting to confuse it with Confuse Ray while using Astonish for super-effective damage. She was really wishing she had more long ranged moves that could actually deal damage at this point, as it was a major short coming of her team sans Litwick and Shuppet. If she needed to, in order to finish off the Surskit, she would switch Pumpkaboo out for Phantump. When Spinarak was sent out, she switch to Driffloon and used it's ability to fly and stay out of range of Poison Sting while using Minimize to make it even harder to hit. Once Driffloon couldn't shrink any further, she had it use multiple astonishes to finish off the spider. If things went South at any point, she would send out Litwick. It would come down to Ember and Fire Spin again, but she also used Ember to burn away any String Shots heading her way and hopefully things would work out better then they had with Driffloon. The boy's last pokemon, a Ledyba, turned out to be more of a nuisance then a threat, only being a threat due to confusing. This resulted in her switching between Shuppet and Litwick to knock it out with multiple long ranged attacks. If Liwick got poisoned during the fight with Spinarak, she would use Phantump in it's place.

Depending seeing as that was likely a tough battle, she would return to the pokemon center once more before setting out to find one last trainer. It would seem her last opponent for the day was an older woman who seemed to be... enjoying her Shroomish a little too much. Once the battle started and Amelia saw her first opponent was a Bellsprout, so she sent out Phantump to deal with it with Confuse Ray, followed up with Tackles and Astonishes. When the Shroomish was sent into the battle, Amelia sent in Litwick, using Ember to burn away Stun Spore as well as attack the little mushroom, and Fire Spin to trap it and damage it. She would attempt to do the same thing against Roselia, but if Litwick became too weak, she would switch him out for Shuppet, then Pumpkaboo if need be.
