Episode 3:

1 last meal for the road. It's fast approaching the mid game and my og members will be fast become obsolete.
Wait...Millie's in her PokeBall...no way...
What was the name of the dragon special Olympics mascots again?
Ah, got it.
Anywho there's a bunch of mirror matches to be found outside levincia, mostly Amik defeating other oinkolognes. (After a lot of hesitation, I release Amik to hang out with them, as I'm not sure what else I can use him for going for).
Now I have a secret weapon against mela later...but iono first!
Great, now that everyone's evolved once, maybe we can beat iono now.
Also copper joins in Amiks place,as does Lele in place of Millie.
Oh wait, I forgot about nemona battle 3!
Lele is my lead going into this.
2 rock smashes with that defense drop easily defeats rockruff.
I didn't need to do this, but I really felt I had to. Of course Miga takes out her former self.
Who let pawmot learn wild charge as soon as it evolves again?
I quickly swap my team around so there'd be a challenge (becuz I grinded a bit too much for Giacomo)
How did she edit this so fast?
How did she fail to do research?
(I'm not gonna find a 3rd fault)
Anywho as for the 1st pokemaniac Lele is affected by intimidate, but I sausage fingered into huanhuan the Charcadet. I then swap into copper the nymble, assuming that their similar levels of 22 could allow a fair fight...but my grasshopper gets decimated by 1 charge boosted spark. Lele then tanks an unboosted one as 2 rock tombs beat luxio.
As for pokemaniac number 2...
Evidently tynamo is stronger than I think, a metal claw doesn't one shot. It needed another rock tomb assist. (Rock tomb then ends the next flaaffy in 2 turns).
Wait what?
That the same speed as ursaluna...is she thinking of trick room?!
Anywho now for the gym battle itself.
This would have been even funnier if I swapped in the wattrel I caught of Camera (who I named Nini, after another of the 2008 Beijing Olympics mascots, though that one's green). Anywho enough tangent. Let's get down to business.
Rock tomb ohkos wattrel, then I had Miga deal with bellibolt.
..that explains why Miga needed 2 digs to beat it.
I use Sukki the Flittle to eat luxios intimidate,then attempted to try and use Migas volt absorb to troll it but that failed. (1 dig finished it off). Now for the most important battle: mismagius.
I keep Miga in because I was hoping his volt absorb ability can wall a potential charge beam. He manages to smack mismagius to yellow with arm thrust before getting confused.
That has to be one of the worst ways to go out. Getting beaten by an arm thrust.
Speaking of fighting moves, I attempt to get the body press TM from orthworms area, but apparently it's locked to climbing. Why I was seeking it was because of dachsbuns high defense. Maybe I don't need it?
Anywho Miga manages to subdue phase 1.
Phase 2 I decided to try and have huanhuan have a go at taking it down.
Unfortunately when I saw that level gap I settled for will o wisp. And the only Mon on my team who could hit it and be immune to sandstorm just os happened to be Lele, who got anger shell activated by an iron tail. Lele is defeated by it but got a rock smash in.
(Insert the star wars sand joke here). Miga had to put down orthworm again...but when will I get something better than arm thrust? (Answer: CC at level 44! Miga has proven to be one of my strongest team members for now so I guess he'll eventually get there?)
I wish you were bigger....so much.
As for what I named orthworm...hmm...he's made of metal...pure steel type...
Finally got something outside of meltan to use their names on. (I picked the name of the guy on the right)
Uh...why did I make that poll about dark types again? I already have this an a future meowscarada,do I need more?
Ok now let's beat Mela. Waldi is added back to the team because I'm hoping to use well baked body to its fullest here.
This allowed the grunts houndour to roar out Waldi and force Magique in. Magique then u turns into Lele who easily handles the dog.
This time on star barrage duty are Waldi, Miga and Lele. They do the job well...but can we handle melas wrath? (Becuz let's face it, the rest of my team of floragato, under leveled charcadet and lokix will be melted to bits by her, so it's up to the 3 of them).
Yeah...clear smog caused a lot of problem for Waldi here, but t fangs and play roughs got through.
Lele gets burnt upon entry, so I'm forced to desperation tera here. Rock tomb doesn't take it out so I attempt to bait well baked body...and it succeeded. Waldi lowers the cars attack by 4 stages with baby doll eyes.
Miga has to save the day again with 3 digs and tanking 2 overheats.
Neat.
'Giving them to your dachsbun.'
Wait...
Anywho, that's all I'm gonna do today.
Next time I think I'm taking down Kofu...with someone that's not Magique (Floragato) or Miga (Pawmot).
