walk though and gym 3 and 4 reaction

Well after the long hall to get to the 2nd gym, gyms 2, 3 and 4 are rather close to each other, which is nice. i now have a small group of pokèmon i seem to be rotating though which is a first for me. i usually pick 6 and stick with them for a while, but i have grown attach again to my zubat, and honedge. Gym three was a fighting gym, and its in this town do we get the secrets of mega evolution. they will talk at length about the stone and how there is only one ring to be given out, leaving you with a rival battle. Since my warturtle is now a blastoise this isn’t much of an issue for me, between blastoise and zubat we make quick work of the team.

Oh before i get to far ahead of myself there is a cave you have to get though, this one is a reflection cave, you will fine lots of psychics here including a personal favorite if unuseable little guy woobat (What can i say i like bats) Unfortanlty there is mr mime in here to….for the love of. i got swarmed twice by mime jrs. i think i cried a little inside. this is all good though because the next gym is a fighting gym and if you are not using a psychic or bird yet you might want to pick one up. For me i have Doplar, Fe and Merlin with me. (Golbat, Karlia and fletchinder) these three make quick work of this gym. in fact dopler almost soloed the whole gym leader battle. Blastoise (Power) Chesnaught (Chip) and Combuskin just sort of hung out and got xp, sadly combuskin did not make it to blazikin quite yet.

After the gym battle you are allowed to finally pick up the ring of power, to mega evolve and you are also given lucario. Now this is sort of a big deal for me, i have had lucarios in the past but because i have always had little use for fighting i generally place it into a box. but X-Y is a new chance to get to know old pokèmon all over again (This part of the reason snorlax has been sidelined a bit) I actually choose to box combuskin and keep lucario in the team, i want to see what all the buzz is about with this guy.

Now onto the the sea, you are given surf which i promply teach blastoise and oooo my god the surfing icon actually now changes to the pokèmon your surfing on!! a hem, i realize quickly this is not a good place for fe to be retreat and retrieve bolt my pikachu. We turn into torros miltank and slobro. (Crap miltank is still one tough cow.) after miltank levels two members of my team i manage to get her into a ball.  there is also a field you can ride skiddo around, much faster and a little bit more fun the ryhon. this actually reminds me of running around moria in lord of the rings online.

On to the next town, not sure but without the walkthough i need to know what gym i am up against, and now that i have a set of pokèmon i am rotating though i really not all that anxious to add more to my list. Still i should note i had a bunch of evolutions at once Karlia (Merlin) finished evolving into gardevior, and fe finished evolving into Talonflame. I am beginning to remember though why gardevior never sticks around with me, but i am willing to give it a few more levels before ditching it completely.

I picked up the new walkthough this afternoon, it is a nice hard cover but i am disappointed to not see a dex in it. that is what i was truly looking for. i am someone who will hover over her dex and study each pokèmon until i find the right fits for me. My favorite walk thoughs were though vs’s who interjected a little humor into each entry, sadly they are no longer around.  I will say this the walk though does clue me in on how some of the mini games work which is what i really needed help with.

Anyways the next gym is grass, i quickly box Power and Chip seeing how they will not help me at all in this gym. i withdraw Fe and and Combuskin. Dopler already has learned fly so as always is a menace to this gym. since electric and grass are sort of meh together Bolt stays on and Lucario named Kain gets to show off its stuff once more. I must say though going though the gym battling trainers i am a little frighten about how much and how many of these guys i remember, some i remember because of some past trauma they have inflicted on my teams.  Others because they have been difficult to defeats, others because i have used them. Still it comes in handy but i have to think at what cost does my pokèmon knowledge come, what have i forgotten as a result…wait do i know you people?  During the trainer clear out Doplar hit her final evolution of crobat. comments about the gym, while rope climbing seems like a fun idea, the whole idea of sliding down the rope just seems painful to me. i have had rope burn on my hands before, it sucks and seeing my avatar sliding down the rope in the grass gym made me cringe. hmm lets see the gym leader uses jumpluff, gogoat, whats the final finishing pokèmon for the gym leader. weepinbell. Really? look i like that family too but i can give you a mini list of better grass types. oh well combuskin have fun.  with the gym conquered funny hair contacts me and starts rambling about filth, yup that’s what i thought bad guys always have weird hair in this game. anyways that’s it for now. i have some studying to do now that i have my walk though, and some decisions to start making my elite four team, what will end up on the final team will though who come threw for me in tough battles and i am sure those are to come, with team flare around i am sure life is about to get harder.
