Episode 3

Becuz Bea is next, I replace liepard with Corvisquire before talking to bede, oleana and rose.
Ok, I admitedly want to gigaton hammer whoever designed roses casual look. It's just weird and not what I learnt about attire in school. Dudes a CEO, he should have been setting a good exam-wait...
Not quite sure if solar power works like that...
Leon is apparently complaining about oleana nagging at him. Evidently they keep implying she's a jerk before we actually fight her.
SWSH writers, what were you thinking? Did I really have to go here with only 3 BADGES just for story reasons? Why? (Or was it something Hop suggested? I dunno)
Well that's an empty vault. I wonder if someone looted it like it was a Fortnite building in the past. Maybe it's a vault of knowledge here instead, because not everything valuable is gold after all or something.
Umm...I guess they're whispering and screaming somehow?
Corvisquire Fury Attack just ain't gonna cut it here. Quagsire defeated it in 1 mud shot though.
Koffing used 2 sludges on linoone but it just wouldn't go down, but she barely survives a +1 night slash. Clear smog forces another hone claws, allowing a sludge ko for the w. Meanwhile Boltund defeats the second grunt.
Bedes bad mouthing of Hop is so gonna earn him a retaliate from my team to his face.
I hear G Yamask, but considering...runerigus' complex Evo method....maybe not.
I reached the metronome trainer and koffing got circle thrown into vanillite. I attempt to slow down Clefairy...
It got 2 meh moves, then a SE one on the time vanillite missed icy wind.
Icy wind ko for the win (Clefairy is that frail? I couldn't tell)
That said I had quag tackle clefable instead. Only 1 4x weakness is probably more ideal.
Apparently we were speed tied as clefable sets up the sand...on a ground type. Metronome RNG today, jeez...
Roar of time?! Quag obviously falls to that, but clefables speed is already super low so thwackey could defeat it with double hit.
Helioptile will b my encounter here. Unfortunately it has dry skin instead of solar power....and quag accidentally defeats it. Impossible Evo method it is.
64-8 is definitely more than 49. Can it...?
(Several minutes of finagling later...)
All it took was 1 sash and a few attempts at messing around with wild area mons. Now let's get back on the road. (I had to pick up the pace here because ... runerigus)
At stow on side I triggered hop battle number...4? I lost count.
Quag had a bad MU into cramorant...so I swapped to boltund... though it went for dive. Hmm..
Well it got stopped but gulp missile still got triggered. One yawn later, boltund manages to defeat cramorant, but gulp missile still activates, and on accident I leave her in against silicobra, as I intended to swap to vanillite, but it went for dig when I brought vanillite in.
I then eat dig with koffing as well as brutal swing, and also use will o wisp to burn the snake.
Koffing was slower but 4 sludges (not sludge bomb weirdly) finishes the job.
Next up is the starter showdown between thwackey and drizzile.
Drizzile did try sucker punch and round but thwackey still defeats him.
Next up I guess was toxel so I swap to runerigus. (I guessed correctly)
Runerigus apparently didn't know she got basically parting shot (twice!) hit as 2 shadow claws finish toxel off.
Wait beas name is based on bean? How did I not know?
Anywho I'm gonna fight her tomorrow...becuz runerigus took up time I could have spent getting here.
