R E C E N T | H A P P E N I N G S: VII
I finished exploring the majestic Castelia City and then decided to finally go to where Burgh was talking about last night. I found Burgh with Bianca and some girl with crazy hair standing around the pier. Bianca was crying, obviously distressed. Poor girl.
Burgh and the other girl (whose name was Iris) told me that Bianca's Munna had been stolen by Team Plasma. What? Those fiends! The Team Plasma Grunt came up to me and was about to confess to his wrongdoings when I shot him an evil look and he scurried away. Burgh told me to follow him. We found the Grunts and disposed of them.
I then had the pleasure of meeting Ghetsis and some guy with a strange name (Bronius or something?] in their 'secret' hideout in Castelia. I zoned out during Ghetsis' speech, mesmerised by Iris' beautiful hair. Munna was returned to Bianca and then Burgh told me to battle him.
I defeated all of his trainers with ease, went back to the Pokemon Centre and made my way to challenge Burgh (his gym's really cool!) Whilst battling the trainers, Hart grew to Lv 22 and evolved into a Swoobat! Wow, that was quick!
Battle for the Insect Badge!
Burgh led with his Whirlipede, and I started out with Pascal. Pascal used Razor Shell, which did a little less than half of it's HP. He used Poison Tail. We then used the same moves again, but Razor Shell lowered Whirlipede's defence, leaving it with red HP. Whirlipede was healed by a Hyper Potion but this time Razor Shell struck harder, leaving Whirlipede with roughly 40% HP. Pascal used it once more to end the battle.
Burgh switched to Leavanny, and I switched to my newly evolved Hart. Hart used Air Cutter, which almost OHKO'd the nursing Pokemon. Leavanny used String Shot. It was faster now, and used Struggle Bug. But Leavanny quickly went down to a Heart Stamp.
Burgh sent out his final Pokemon - Dwebble. I switched out to Petunia. Petunia used Sleep Powder after Dwebble used Knock Down. Dwebble fell asleep and I set up a Leech Seed. Dwebble woke up but it was too late - a combination of Leech Seed and two Mega Drains ended the battle and earned me the Insect Badge!
I then headed out to Route 4 where I comfortable defeated both Bianca and Cheren. I sprinted to the Resort Desert, dodging all the trainers, and tried to catch a Dwebble. I caught two: a male Lv 20 (Lyle) and a female Lv 22 (Shelly). I also caught a Maractus (Cactempo). I checked Lyle's and Shelly's abilities, and it was Shelly who had Sturdy, the preferred ability. I boxed Lyle and Cactempo and withdrew Shelly. Welcome to the team!
