Minor League. [/hider] [hr] Claire made a beeline for route four, stopping only to let Zeal fight a few geodude's and other rock types along the way. With power-up punch, he had a pretty easy time of it. Zeal of course, took a few blows to start with. He was a little on the low level side compared to a lot of the other pokemon around here, but after powering himself up with the new move he had a much easier time of it. Several geodude's later, and he had gained a few levels. He even learned Ember! A good thing too, heading out onto route 4 would be much easier then. She even managed to find a Soda Pop someone dropped somewhere. Hah! Usually if you found a shiny item in video games, they were gearing you up for a boss battle, but her luck couldn't be that bad, nope. After heading out onto Route four, Zeal made short work of some grass types for training. Without disturbing the oddishes that were sleeping, Claire found several shroomish and other grass types in the area to train against. Far easier than the geodudes, with their rock-type moves not doing much for Zeal's health. He even learned Taunt - a good move to use in certain situations. [color=#d3381c]"Annnd cut the training montage!~"[/color] Standing just a little off the path, Clare stretched, Zeal following the motion as they took a quick break from training. [color=#d3381c]"Whew, you're doing great boy."[/color] Claire said, picking up Zeal and giving him a pat on the head. [color=#d3381c]"We're about halfway to Stillwood, I think! Making good progress so I think we can take a break."[/color] She pulled the recently found Soda Pop out of her bag, giving it to Zeal. As she did so, she found another item stuffed in her bag that she completely forgot she had. A focus band! [color=#d3381c]"Oh hey, I forgot I Had this."[/color] Claire mused as Zeal gave her a curious look as she pulled the band out of her bag. She looked at it for a few seconds before nodding, and tying the band securely around Zeal's forehead. [color=#d3381c]"Ahaha, looks good on ya! You'd win any Cool contest just by being there, heh."[/color] She giggled. [color=#d3381c]"Anyways, break time's over! Resume training montage!"[/color] Running into the hiker was a bit of bad luck, so it was a good thing she had that soda pop on her. Well, might as well see how well Zeal does against this Geodude, then. [hr] Hiker battle: Running into the hiker was a bit of bad luck, so it was a good thing she had that soda pop on her. Well, might as well see how well Zeal does against this Geodude, then. She didn't want that thing getting off many attacks on Zeal, so an all-out attack on it before it could raise it's defense or seriously injure Zeal would be best. Use power up punch on Geodude until it's KO'ed. If that fails and it looks like Zeal is about to be KO'ed, switch to Ralia. Proceed to use Double Team and confusion to KO the Geodude. For Machop, if Zeal is still in the fight continue to use Power-Up Punch, hopefully maxing its attack before KO'ing the fighting type. As power-up-punch is his strongest move, continue to use it. If Zeal was KO'ed or switched out when fighting the Geodude, keep Ralia on the field and use confusion until Machop is defeated. Upon switching to Onix, same strategy applies if Zeal is still up. Assuming Power-up-Punch has raised his attack to max by now, it should make quick work of the rock-type pokemon. If Ralia is up, use double team again for a little extra insurance, Growl to lower attack if he uses Curse, then use Confusion until KO'ed Assuming none of her pokemon have been KO'ed, use Super Potions to heal Zeal and Ralia after the battle. If one of her pokemon has been KO'ed for any reason, immediately head to Stillwood to get them healed. [hr] Moving onto the Aroma Lady: Zeal against Shroomish. As grass types are known to make use of lots of status-inflicting moves, Zeal starts with Taunt. Proceed to use Ember until Shroomish is KO'ed, using Taunt again if it wears off. If for some reason Zeal is KO'ed or becomes low on HP, switch to Ralts. Double team and then use Confusion until Shroomish is KO'ed Assuming all goes well and Zeal is still in play once Shroomish is KO'ed, following previous strategy, use Taunt only once, then followed by repeated ember usage until KO'ed. If Ralia finished off Shroomish, switch out Ralia for Beedrill at the start of the turn. Use a combination of Poison sting to deal damage, and String shot to prevent it from running until Cerubi is defeated. If Zeal is still in play at this point, use Taunt again to prevent usage of status-type moves. Try dodge the poison stings to prevent poison. If he is poisoned, immediately swap for Ledyba. Otherwise, use Ember until Roselia is KO'ed. If Beedrill is on the field, swap for Ledyba immediately and have him use Safeguard followed by Reflect. Once defense are set up, use Supersonic to attempt confusion once followed by Comet punching until defeated. If Ledyba is low on HP or KO'ed, switch to Combee. After some arguing on Claire and the bugs part, possibly allowing the Roselia to get in a free hit, she will repeatedly use gust until Roselia is blasted into the next route over. Once the Aroma lady is defeated, immediately head to Stillwood to get her pokemon healed. Use Antidote on any pokemon that was poisoned.
