I guess an update is in order, as it's been awhile. Last post I had just made it out of Meteor Falls, and was faced with a dilemma. Since leaving Mauville Ashe Jr, my rock smash user, had died and I was left without one. I could have backtracked through Fallabor back to Mt. Chimney, or jump down the ledges to Rustboro. I did the latter, thinking I could just use Mr. Briney to avoid Rusturf tunnel and raise my Magikarp til it was a Gyarados outside Mauville. I forgot, however, that Mr. Briney was still in Slateport, so I was stuck in Rustboro, my only option to rock smash my way through Rusturf Tunnel. I was planning on evolving my Magikarp to become an HM slave anyway, so I figured it would just take a little more time battling weaker pokemon. He was level 13 and it took forever for him just to gain one level, earning about 25 exp. per battle. I didn't have the patience for that, so I was forced to teach Rock Smash to Koko, something I didn't want to do at all. Oh well. The rest of my update is less eventful. Myco and Clarence evolved, Clarence was returned to the box, and I caught Chacha the Machop and Saguaro the Cacnea. Kipz raped Magma and Flannery, although I'm concerned I'm relying on him too much. Currently raising Gari and Chacha, in case Myco can't handle Norman by himself. I'm also down to one repeat ball, so I hope I find another Zigzagoon soon.
