So after going out of the gym, May told
me the subtle hint that I should to Nuzzle's(my Nuzlocke character's
name) father and his gym. But more importantly, I got the GoGoggles,
which will finally let me go into that desert route and catch a new
wild Pokemon as well as get a fossil to turn into a Pokemon. I even
checked to make sure there were no other grass I could of gone into
in that route, and I'm good! I'm real excited for this since this is
the one place in the game you can get a Trapinch
in the game which would allow me to have a Flyagon, one of my
favorite 3rd gen Pokemon. But knowing the jynxing luck
I'm probably not going to run into it now, but since the worst thing
I could run into on the route is a Sandshrew, I'll be getting
something decent no matter what. Really hoping for a Trapinch
though, and if I can't get that, then at least get a Baltoy
instead...
...and it's a Cacnea. Better than a
Sandshrew I guess but I already have 2 grass types and one of them is
a solid spot on my team... might as well catch it anyways... I think
it's worth noting while training for the gym, PlumpPickl learned
Knock off. I thought it would be cool to actually have a move of a
different type but it's incredibly weak. At least that makes it good
for weaking up wild Pokemon to catch. Well I got the Cacnea... what
to call it? Well, it trolled me out of getting a Pokemon I would want
to use, it has a troll face... I was gonna call it troll plant or
something silly like that but then I remember “from a certain Tales
LP I'm watching” *cough*

, about Jade who take about every chance he gets to troll the party.
So this one named after you Jade. With some “..” after it to get
the point across. Time to put Jade in the box where all will be safe
from his trolling from now on... hopefully.
Well at least I can get the fossils...
one of them at least. Well the Pokemon from the root fossil is my
favorite of the two, but I already got 3 grass types now... I guess
I'll for the claw fossil. Hopefully I won't need to rely on either
of them but at least I got a wider range of types by taking the claw
fossil. Bye bye root fossil, it hurts you more than it hurts me.
Well after picking up Zip'd from the Day Care, I decided to leave my
Zubat, sorry forgot what I called it, in the Day Care in its place.
Zip'd is still a bit behind so I guess I better raise him up too.
Zip'd leveled up enough to learn Light Screen... normally wouldn't
use it, but I get the feeling I could use it to my advantage if I use
it smartly so I got rid of Moonlight for it... I had to get rid of it
eventually since items will be more reliable in this playthrough.
Well I didn't do much grinding, but
after checking some levels, I had a good feeling I could get through
the gym in one piece. Time to finally face daddy... Nuzzle's daddy
that is. Decided PlumpPickl would be very helpful for this gym so I
decided to bring him for this gym again. Dubstep sat this gym out in
exchange. So first of all was the process of taking care of the gym
trainers for the sake of experience. Most of them were incredibly
easy... most of them. Each of the gym trainers specialize in the use
of an item, X-item, healing, etc. I decided to lead with Hurrcane to
get experience for him. When I saw him use the item for raising
critical, or was it the power-based trainer? I thought it would be
smart to use protect to scout out its move. But no, it just used
sword dance instead. My heart kept racing as it kept sword dancing
its attack stats to the roof. As I got close to defeating it, the
Pokemon finally attacked. By some miraculous means, Hurrcane
survive. But he barely had any health to spare, but my opponent
barely had health to spare as well. I could heal, but what if he got
a critical hit next time, then the heal would be a waste. I wasn't
quite sure if another attack would finish it off but I had to take
the risk. I go for the Wing Attack... and it went down! Hurrcane
made it through the fight in one piece. What luck! Man words can
not describe how lucky I was in that fight.
Thought that wasn't even the gym leader
fight. Though I think I got an idea to make this fight fairly easy
to avoid casualties. So the battle begins. He leads with
Slanking... woah, wait! I thought he lead with Vigeroth. Lovely my
plan is already backfiring. Though with Plumpickl and Shroomhiness I
was able to fight my way through. Then comes the Vigeroth if I
recall but between my two fighting types there wasn't any problems.
Then last but not least was another Slanking! This time however, I
was able to switch into Hurracane and get out my plan I've been so
waiting to do. You see, Slanking is an immensity powerful Pokemon
but what keeps him from being overpower is its ability that makes him
only attack every other turn. Hurracane has protect, a move that
prevents all damage guaranteed, unless you use it multiple turns in a
row. Add two and two together and I think you know what this
means.... this in a nut shell minus having to use a Leppa Berry,

)
So with that I have a new badge in hand
and a useful TM it's onwards with exploration. First of all, pick up
the surf TM so Hurracane has finally got a good water type move and
also, the ability to actually progress in the game. First, I might
as well pick up some new water type on the new routes I can now reach
and pick up a good TM for Zip'd. What is it? Well if you haven't
guess, I'll tell you when I get it.
