I beat Darkrai last night. The dungeon was hard, so the boss battle was relatively easy. I did have to cover Cresselia a bit. Too late did I realize I should have used the same strategy on Darkrai that I did on Dusknoir: Stun Seed, baby! But a combination of Blaze and Sleep Seeds made everything a little easier.
I also beat Final Maze this morning! I was down to an empty belly, with little to no food in my Treasure Bag. I managed to subsist on Slack Off (that's why I love Chimchar, baby) and a couple Max Elixers! Oh, and a Spinarak's Fury Swipes hit not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE times! I tell ya, if Totodile didn't know Bodyguard, I never would have made it to the end! Thank you, Totodile. I owe it all to you, man! (starts singing Whitney Houston) AND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII... WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Okay, I'll stop now.
Anyway, that was about the time Manaphy came back. I managed to prospect a Mystery Part in Mt. Horn. Now all that's left is to unlock Marine Resort and recruit Palkia and then Totodile and I can evolve! But I'm still a little worried about Spacial Rift. I mean, just because I wasn't bombarded with monster houses my first time through (yeah, I know I'm lucky), doesn't mean I won't be this time around. I think I'll recruit a Torchic first, and then Dialga.
