X: The Pokeradar target for today was Caterpie, which unfortunately is quite rare in this game. I still decided to give it a try. Went to Santalune Forest and tried several times but couldn't get one, so I gave up. Continued on my Mega Evolution quest instead. I Mega Evolved my Garchomp, Alakazam, Banette and Ampharos, registered them in the Pokedex afterwards.
Y: Went out to Route 9 again, traveled across it on the back of a Rhyhorn. Picked up all items along the way and met the second Sky Trainer I couldn't battle yet. Arrived at Glittering Cave and entered it. Picked up all items I found during the first part of it, also caught Rhyhorn, Onix, Cubone, Lunatone and Machop. Arrived at the inner part and met some strangely dressed people who said they were from Team Flare. Not sure wat they were doing there, though their goals and purpose seemed a bit suspicious to me. And they wouldn't let me pass freely either, so I had to battle them in order to get somewhere. I had two battle two of them in single battles first, then I met two more of them and my rival appeared so we could team up to take them down.
I used Rock Smash on the stones in this part of the cave and found some items, also caught a Woobat. In the end of the cave, me and my rival met the Fossil Lab Assistant who had found two different fossils. He wanted us to pick one each, I picked the Jaw Fossil and my rival got the other one. With that done, I went back to Ambrette. Went to the Fossil Lab and the assistant resurrected my Jaw Fossil into a Tyrunt. I had also managed to find an Old Amber in the cave which got resurrected into an Aerodactyl. I then spoke to the two bosses in the Lab and one of them gave me an Aerodactylite. Interesting.
Entered the Aquarium and met a man who gave me an Old Rod. Continued to the other side and arrived at the lower part of Ambrette/Route 8. Fished in the sea using my new rod and hooked a Luvdisc which I caught. Then I used Rock Smash on the smashable rocks to find items and Pokemon, found a bunch of items this way. I also met met and caught a Dwebble and more importantly Binacle, my next team member. Also sadly the last team member I will be able to get for a long while, it will likely take a very long time before I can get my next and final one. Went back to the upper part of Route 8 to train Binacle a bit. Trained it until I was satisfied, also met and caught a Bagon along the way. Will continue tomorrow by going north from the lower part of Route 8.
