Day Four: Petalburg Gym

Today I started out by training against the trainers in Petalburg Gym. In the Accuracy Room, FlamooII was killed by a Delcatty.

I fought Norman shortly after that. Trip eliminated his first 3 Pokemon without breaking a sweat. He used Leech Seed on the Slaking, then Stun Spore, all was going well, unfortunately... I was not expecting him to use Facade. Between the STAB and the effect of Paralysis on Facade, Trip had no chance of survival, and regrettably joined the ranks of the dead. Leviathan was able to clean up, so I still got the badge, but Trip shall never be forgotten. Without him, I would never have made it past Rustboro Gym. A moment of silence for a great Pokemon!

*silence*

I taught Leviathan Surf, and used it in Petalburg City to catch another Marill(nicknamed "Azure"), this one lv26. On Route 105, I caught a lv24 Tentacool(nicknamed "Jellybelly"). On Route 106, I caught a lv25 Wingull(nicknamed "Big Bill"). On Route 108, I caught a lv30 Wingull(nicknamed "Hellican").

While surfing towards Slateport, I saw an item on the field, just past 2 trainers, so I decided to face them in a Double Battle. I was not expecting one of them to have a Manectric, 2 actually. I had 5 Pokemon with me, 4 of which were weak against Electric. Bruce and Hellican did not make it out alive. The worst part is that the item ended up just being a Star Piece. They died for a mere Star Piece!!!!

Just before I arrived in Slateport, I encountered and captured a lv30 Tentacool(nicknamed "Poisonfish"), on Route 109. In New Mauville, I caught a lv24 Voltorb(nicknamed "Pokeballer"). On Route 118, I caught yet another Tentacool(nicknamed "Freak Fish"), a lv27. On Route 119, I caught a lv25 Oddish(nicknamed "Medicinal").

I decided to take a break before tackling Team Aqua at the Weather Institute, and that concludes Day Four.
