In the weeks that have passed I have lost Ninjask, Minccino, Shedinja, and Pancham. Training hard and failing, I was put in a depression, worrying that this might be it. My reserves were almost dried up at that point with the Team Flare and legendary storyline on the horizon. Carefully training Ralts and Vulpix, I found myself with a male Gardevoir and a beautiful Drought Ninetales. Battling through close calls and tear filled memories, I found myself facing Lysander after having captured the legendary Pokemon, cramming it in the glitch box that can never be used, saved for a different time, I fought on. Gyarados. His typing puts my entire team on edge, tossing out Gardevoir and having faith in him. Psychic against the water flying fish, it has no effect on the mega, water dark typing putting a huge smile on my face as I moonblast it to oblivion. That ordeal is done and over, and I found myself fighting "friends" or "rivals" or what have you, luckily having none of my Pokemon die against them. I now prepare for the dark ages of the ice gym and then the horrendous challenge that is Victory Road.
