Emerald's adventures: Part 4 & 5
Emerald's adventures: Part 4 - Veturia et Volumnia
After arriving in Goldenrod city, with the following pokemon: Pyramus(Quilava), Verginius (Noctowl), Thisbe (Flaaffy), Veturia (Heracross) and Volumnia (Poliwag), I noticed I needed alot of training in order to beat Whitney.
My 2 new pokemon, Veturia(Heracross) and Volumnia (Poliwag), needed the training the most. I decided to train Poliwag first, while training her I put Heracross in the daycare.
When Poliwag reached lvl 18 it was time for Veturia's training. I got her back from the daycare and put Volumnia in. Veturia had learned Aerial Ace! So I went to the National Park and murdered tons of bugs, untill Veturia reached lvl 19 and learned Brick Break. It was time for the gym!
I managed to beat the gym EASILY! After putting Miltank to sleep with Volumnia, Veturia managed to finish it off with some Brick Breaks.
The 3rd badge had been achieved!!
Emerald's adventures: Part 5 - A very fast Gengar
I had all my Pokemon's at decent levels when I arrived at Ecruteak city, I easily killed my rival and all the trainers on the route between Ecruteak and Olivine. So I decided it was time for the gym already, I went in and easily beat all the trainers with Verginius (Noctowl). But Morty was super hard!! While trying to put Gengar to my Noctowl and Poliwag both got killed, Gengar was way to fast for me. I decided to try a new tactic: Paralyse! I got Flaaffy in and used Thunderwave, then I used a few Thundershocks untill Flaaffy was death. Then I brought Heracross in, it was awesome! Gengar couldn't do anything, he kept missing his Hypnoses and he couldn't use Shadow ball on my fighting type. So I killed it with Aerial Ace
.
Now I need some serious training! Noctowl needs to get better attacks before I can take on Chuck. My team looks as following, after beating Morty and exploring some new surf-only areas:
Pyramus, lv26 male Quilava
Verginius, lv27 male Noctowl
Thisbe, lvl 22 female Flaaffy
Veturia, lvl 23 female Heracross
Volumnia, lvl 26 female Poliwhirl
