Chapter 84. Surviving the rain.
I don,t need the Rain core in an already raining Gym, so I put Peli and Outlaw in the PC. I take Gerania and add Puerroman ( Kanto Farfetch'd), who I need to train.
After the training, I go back to Rhytmic Bubble Gym , where I again need to pay attention to the dancing Mons:
After the dance, the girl switched the 3 PCs on. Each time she switched a PC on, one of the Mons cried. The Mons left and the girl asked me which Mon didn,t cry. With only 4 Mons and 3 PCs you would think this question would be easy, but somehow I missed and answered Zigzagoon instead of Poochyena, which triggered a battle:
The Pokemanic leads with Tyranitar. Palote uses Earthquake and is paralyzed by Thunder Wave.
Both Pokemon use Earthquake and end up very damaged.
I switch Gerania into the next EQ.
Gerania kills Tyranitar and I forget to take a pic of it.
Lucario is next. It uses Nasty Plot but gets critted by EQ:
Swinub is last. It survives a Giga Drain with Focus Sash and uses Icy Wind.
Swinub could have killed Gerania if he used the previous turn the move he used now, Endeavor. Gerania ends the battle with another Giga Drain:
I definetely need to pay more attention in order to not trigger Random Battles, one of these Pokemaniacs could very well bring a Rayquaza.
I try to advance in the Gym, but of course, I can,t avoid the actual battle:
Meiko leads with a Lanturn and once again, there is rain in the battle. I send Gerania to take the Surf.
Gerania uses Giga Drain and gets paralyzed by Thunder Wave.
Lanturn uses Confuse Ray, but Gerania can,t attack this turn.
I send Cloudy, who has Cloud Nine, so the Surf is very weak.
Lanturn uses Thunder Wave and gets hit by Earthquake.
Lanturn uses Confuse Ray, like Gerania, Cloudy just doesn,t move.
I send Gerania again into Thunder.
Gerania uses Giga Drain, but Lanturn still lives and paralyzes her again.
Lanturn uses Confuse Ray and Gerania hits herself.
I send Cloudy to take the weak Surf.
Lanturn uses Confuse Ray and Cloudy damages herself.
I send Gerania into Thunder again.
Tired of being haxed, I use Leech Seed, Gerania gets paralyzed.
Cloudy comes into Confuse Ray and recovers some health back.
I switch back to Gerania, taking a Thunder.
Cloudy comes into Thunder Wave.
Lanturn uses Confuse Ray, but Cloudy manages to attack and kills it with Moonblast:
Oh, shit, a Luvdisc is next. I send Kit... and Luvdisc uses Safeguard, anticipating my Toxic.
Luvdisc uses Sweet Kiss, Kit damages himself.
Luvdisc uses a powerful Surf. Kit heals the confusion and uses Surf too, getting a crit, which still takes less than half of Luvdisc's HP.
Luvdisc uses Sweet Kiss. Kit goes to sleep.
Looks like I will have to risk Gerania to kill that thing. Surf takes a lot of her life.
Gerania somehow survives Ice Beam and uses Leech Seed:
Kit comes in, taking another powerful Surf.
Luvdisc uses Sweet Kiss. Kit uses Sleep Talk and lands a Toxic on the broken heart.
I switch to Cloudy. Turns out, there wasn,t need of it, Luvdisc uses Safeguard and dies from Toxic:
Wigglytuff is next. I send Kit while it uses Wish.
Kit uses Sleep Talk but triggers Rest. Wiggly uses Hyper Voice.
Kit uses Surf this time, taking more than half of Wigglytuff's health. The fairy uses Wish.
Kit wakes up and kills Wiglytuff with a crit Surf:
Jynx is the last Pokemon of Meiko. It uses Nasty Plot and gets a Toxic.
I send Eeveeto, immune to Psychic.
Eeveeto protects from Ice Beam.
Eeveeto gets very damaged by Ice Beam and uses Crunch, dropping Jynx's Sdef.
Eeveeto protects.
Expecting Jynx to die, I send Palote, who survives with Sturdy. However, Jynx lives too due to Leftovers + Dry Skin.
I risk hit and fortunately Jynx uses Ice Beam, after which the battle ends:
Dangerous battle and only vs 4 Mons. I wish I could bring some weather to counter the Rain, but I want to preserve my weather setter for the Gym leader. This is how the team survived:
Time to go to the next room. Fortunately the trainer here is asleep:
However, I still have to get tested by a Zigzagoon:
Kirlia, Poochyena and Mew appear and dance for some time. After they leave, Zigzagoon asks me something in his language:
Idk what he even is asking me, but try to answer "Mew". Turns out, its wrong:
Kingdra is the lead. I send Kit, who takes a very powerful Surf, probably Specs.
Kit takes another Surf and uses Toxic.
Kingdra continues using Surf, Kit heals with Rest.
The Pokemaniac withdraws Kingdra and sends Rowlet, who gets a Toxic triggered by Sleep Talk.
I send Eeveeto, who gets confused by Confuse Ray.
Eeveeto damages himself and takes a Brave Bird.
Eeveeto uses Wish and takes another Brave Bird.
The Pokemanic withdraws Rowlet and sends his last Mon, a Mightyena. Eeveeto damages himself.
Mightyena uses Taunt, preventind Toxic.
I send Gerania while Mightyena protects.
Mightyena protects from Leech Seed.
Gerania uses Leech Seed and gets Taunted.
Gerania uses Giga Drain, Mightyena attacks with Crunch.
I send Puerroman, but he gets poisoned by Poison Fang.
Puerroman kills Mightyena with Return:
Kingdra comes back, so I send Kit, who gets a Surf.
Kingdra uses Surf again, Kit triggers Rest with Sleep Talk.
Fearing a crit, I send Gerania, who takes another Surf.
The Pokemaniac switches to Rowlet while Gerania heals with Synthesis.
I send Eeveeto into Brave Bird, Rowlet dies from poison.
Now, the mission is not to get crit. Eeveeto protects from Hydro Pump.
Gerania takes a Hydro Pump.
Cloudy takes the last one and the battle finishes:
The Zigzagoon goes away after the battle. Fun fact: there is hidden black room in this Gym:
Obviously, this is a glitch and serves no purpose.
Just as expected, the sleeping trainer wakes up right before I go to the next room:
Dangerous Roserade is the lead this time. Given it probably has Spikes, I won,t be able to preserve Sturdy anyway, so I stay with Palote, take Weather Ball and use Rock Slide.
I switch Cloudy in, taking Magical Leaf.
Roserade tries to use Sweet Kiss but misses, dying from Flamethrower:
Milotic is next. I send Kit into Ice Beam.
Predicting Toxic, Milotic uses Safeguard.
Milotic uses Surf and so does Kit.
Time to Stall with Pressure, after taking another Surf, Kit uses Rest.
Kit takes 3 other Surfs and uses Rest.
Predicting my Sleep Talk use (I didn,t use it before), Milotic uses another Safeguard. Kit triggers Surf though.
Kit takes 2 other Surfs, last of which is crit:
Kit manages to use Rest.
After taking 3 more Surfs, Kit uses Rest again.
Milotic uses Safeguard, Kit tries to use Sleep Talk and triggers Surf again.
Kit succesfully Stalls last 2 Surfs and uses Rest.
Milotic starts to use Ice Beam. When Kit wakes up, he uses Toxic, but Milotic prevents it with Safeguard.
Kit takes another Ice Beam and uses Rest.
Kit takes 3 more Ice Beams and uses Rest again.
Milotic uses Safeguard and last Ice Beam.
Then Luka switches Milotic out and sends Lapras, which is bad news. Lapras doesn,t have Water Absorb, since it was damages by Surf.
I send Eeveeto into Thunder.
Eeveeto protects from Megahorn.
Eeveeto uses Wish and avoids Megahorn.
Eeveeto uses Toxic and almost dies from crit Megahorn:
Fortunately, he heals at the end of the turn. In the next one, Eeveeto protects.
I send Kit back to take Megahorn.
Gerania switches in and takes Thunder. Lapras eats a Sitrus Berry.
Luka switches Lapras out and sends a Mega Altaria into Giga Drain.
Altaria uses Feather Dance and gets seeded.
Altaria uses Moonblast and drops Gerania's Special Attack too, so Giga Drain does pathetic damage.
Altaria uses another Moonblast, Gerania heals with Synthesis, taking advantage of that Cloud Nine.
Altaria uses another Moonblast, taking EQ back.
Altaria uses Moonblast, Gerania heals.
Altaria uses Moonblast, Gerania EQ.
Altaria uses Moonblast, Gerania heals.
Altaria uses Moonblast, Gerania EQ.
Gerania heals twice in a row, Altaria finally dies:
The now useless Milotic comes back and uses Safeguard, getting seeded.
I switch Puerroman in. At the same time, Luka switches Lapras in.
Puerroman kills Lapras with Superpower:
Puerroman uses Sword Dance twice and OHKOs Milotic with a crit Return:
Well, I am getting used to this rain, but this Gym is still very dangerous, especially if the trainers start using more than 4 Mons. Finishing the chapter here with state of the team:
