Level: 12 Moves: Peck, Leer, Endure Ability: Swarm Held Item: None [/hider] [/hider] [/center] So word to the wise, don't train your fire type Pokemon when it's raining because the rain weakens fire type moves, which was already pretty weak to begin with because Cecil's special attack was just hot garbage. Thankfully almost all the Pokemon he fought against were grass types though those Shroomishes were a bloody pain with their status effects, but it was worth it; his team had gained a level so it gave them more of an edge. Basil found a woman in a yellow raincoat with a parasol and asked her some questions about the route and anything he could use as a hint for his investigation. While some of the information he already knew from the Pokedex, the Psyduck and Pinsir were definitely not listed on Pokemon that can be found so he should really search for them later after his expedition. He could only imagine how useful the information would be for the Professor if he cataloged them in the Pokedex. Apparently people around here do not understand the concept of cause and effect. Well, he was completely on his own in that regard. At least she also offered to battle too! [color=8882be]"Alright, I'm up for that."[/color] For the first battle against the Lotad, Basil would use Lupin to battle it. While they would have been caught off guard by the initial start due to Lotad's enhanced speed, ghost type moves aren't effective against dark types. Basil would order Lupin to use Quick Attack to fight it so it would essentially turn into a speed battle. Basil would use Crocus against the Psyduck since the type advantage would make sense. The plan was to just use Leech Seed to drain its health while also using Vine Whip to strike the water type from a distance.
