Go to Mistralton Cave - where I could hopefully get another Dragon-type. Go to Route 1 and Surf on to Routes 17, 18, and the P2 Lab. So after all that, I’m left to make a few choices now that I have Surf! I could: Then he gives us both the HM for Surf! Thank you awesome Champion - I promise to not imitate Barry and his fan-boying Crasher Wake.Īlder reiterates the importance of taking care of our Pokemon and walks off like a John Wayne role.Ĭheren leaves with the declaration that he will definitely win in our next battle and walks up the steps to Twist Mountain. That’s rather interesting from what I know of the Fighting-type user.Īlder makes sure to end the conversation with letting Cheren know that the important thing isn’t just having power, but what you do with it when you have it. Sore loser is a thing, Cheren.Īlder shares similar sentiments and comments on Cheren’s attitude, repeating the question he asked him on Route 5: what does Cheren plan to do with power?Ĭheren responds with a line born of an existential crisis: that he’ll know he’s really living if he becomes Champion.Īpparently Cheren’s attitude and/or struggle remind Alder of his apprentice, and Elite Four member, Marshal. :VĬheren is bothered that Alder compliments us both on our battle. Not even seconds after, Alder shows up on top of the ledge into Twist Mountain and leaps off! Seriously Alder you are crazy awesome but you need to consider your health and the health of those that you might startle into heart-attacks. We’ve won with that - with Gingivere haven taken some worrying damage, but Cheren is still wondering what being “truly strong” means. She gets hit by a Leaf Blade, which does a bit more damage than I expected.Īn Ice Beam later, however, and the grass snake is KO’d. Though, in turn, Croikle’s Petal Dance doesn’t do much either.Īnd apparently I made a poor decision by using Croikle because a third round goes on and my giant symbiotic toad companion is hit by a Dragon Pulse…for little damage.įinally Croikle winds up confused, allowing me to switch to Nyctea. Petal Dance goes for another turn, in which Serperior uses Leaf Blade for very little damage. One Petal Dance to the water monkey and all Cheren has left is his Serperior. Not only does he not like his pet rock, he also doesn’t like his dog.

Gingivere is hit by a Flamethrower from the Houndoom and uses Thunder Fang in kind.īoth battling Pokemon are hit by Hail and are around the same health.Ĭheren decides that he doesn’t like his pet rock, sending out his ambiguously French grass snake-dragon. Hail sends Wingfold into the red so I switch her out for Deyna, while Cheren switches over to his Gigalith - another miss with Stone Edge.īut with that Alakazam around I switch Deyna back out for Gingivere, who cancels out the spoon-wielding, vulpine-goat-brainiac monster’s Psychic.Ī Dark Pulse finishes it off, leaving Cheren with 4 Pokemon left he sends out his Simipour. Wingfold X-Scissors the Alakazam also for considerable damage. That being the case Cheren switches over to his Alakazam it hits Wingfold with a Psychic, but it doesn’t do enough to knock her out. The Hail brings the pet rock monster to the red. Her Dig hits the Gigalith for considerable damage, and Wingfold dodges a Stone Edge - a rather scary move despite its low accuracy. Cheren switches over to his Gigalith after his Houndoom misses a Flamethrower. I rotate over to Wingfold and have her use Dig. He sends out his Houndoom, which has Intimidate, but really that doesn’t bother Nyctea or me. Nyctea starts the show with an Ice Beam straight at the Staraptor, which ends up being a OHKO - most likely from STAB, NeverMeltIce, and Hail. Now I could have gone to the Reminder Girl and given Nyctea Blizzard, but I didn’t. He starts things off with his Staraptor, Gigalith, and Alakazam, which are all formidable in their own right. So I got over to the stairs of Twist Mountain only to be confronted by Cheren, who once more wants to see which one of us is stronger after getting a Gym Badge. With Hail active outside around here due to Winter weather, Nyctea will definitely be helpful. I also know that his newest Pokemon is a Houndoom, and that this battle will be a rotation battle. Now I know Cheren’s Pokemon are around levels 53-55, so on that end I should be good. I thought about the Reminder Girl and using one of my three Rare Candies to evolve Dandin the Bronzor, but decide against doing either. Before I head on over to Twist Mountain to challenge, or at least be challenged by, Rival #2 for a 6th time, I head on over to the house just north of the Pokemon Center and talk to the youngster to get the TM for Aerial Ace, which is very nice TM to have.
