When we leave the gym, Juniper arrives to give us words.... and a Master Ball! Hopefully i wont need it. We set out to the Victory Road but First Cheren and Bianca stop me and Cheren "tests" me in another battle that i win. Now we head through the Badge checker gates. this bit is cool because each gate you pass through adds an instrument to the Music playing. Once we get to the proper mountain we LUCKILY get a Dieno, being the highest ranking pokemon ill get i decide to name her after my Best Friend, Miss Jenomighty! our final team will be:
Fynn, Conkelldur
Mirage, Seismitoad
Bri, Swanna
Miss Jen, Deino
FFNut, Chandelure
Starlet, Stoutland

Fighting our way through we eventually reach the League...


As prepared as i am, i decide to enter. im faced with 4 choices...
Dark
Ghost
Psychic
Fighting



Since Fynn is my toughest unit i choose Dark first.
This is truly a nervous experience.
We face against Grimsley Master of Darkness.
i set up 2 bulk ups before Slapping dead a Scrafty and Liepard
he sends out a Bisharp, this pokemon is cool but strong enough? no...
finally he sends out a Krookodile. i face a choice. stay as Fynn for assured victory, or switch to Starlet and try to surf him dead...
being the idiot i am i send out Starlet, who. will. win??
a close battle. but Starlet wins!!

ok... now.
i choose Psychic. Jen is my lead here. but starlet and FFnut are back ups for this little deino.
it is here we face Caitlin ( whom i think was a battle frontier trainer in Diamond Pearl and Platinum though i could be wrong.)
First, a Reuniclus (odd name) i go for a crunch. sadly it didnt kill. but Reuniclus has a fighting move which i barely survive. quickly i switch to Starlet
anyway, its Starlets time. and she destroys the beast.
next, a Sigilyph. i win barely.
next a Gothitelle. i use a work up and manage to get a critical hit on the monster
Finally a Musharna. i just crunch and it dies

Next. Ghost. its jens time. again. but starlet and FFnut have back up.
We start the fight against Shauntal

First, a Cofragigus. i bring its health low, however he burns me. use a burn heal i do , while she fully restores. but next round i win.
Next a Golurk. i take no chance and switch to starlet here.
With a lucky Crit. Golurk falls.
Next a Chandelure? is this woman stealing my pokemon?
both of us severley injure each other. After 1 more round of hitting, im left with 2 HP!!
next up. Jellicent.
firstly i use a full restore.
second i use crunch. it didnt win and now its disabled. this might be tough.
i use a few work ups. but then crunch undisables again.
swift win.

The final member, Marshal, awaits us. i use Bri to gain an advantage.

First. a Throh. just 2 ariel slashes and he falls.
second a Sawk. i use brave bird and he remains with 1 hp thanks to sturdy. this might be tough. before a stone edge hits me i use fly. again, 1 hp. i use the same attack. but he is left with 1 hp again. finally Bri falls... but now its Fynns time. end him.
next... uh oh. Fynn Vs Fynn!! oddly, his fynn is faster. but with him using hammer arm it didnt last long. hammer to the face and he dies.
Finally its Mienshao. Go FFnut. this is risky because of rock slide. and after 1 hit i survive. but FFnut wont win, so go Mirage! after a few blows to each of us. they finally get a Crit killing Mirage. switching to Fynn. i finally Wynn.
and Deino, thanks to exp share, evolves into Zweilous.

now i must enter the champions lair. We must face Alder. or do we? lets see.
upon arriving, we see that N has already beaten Alder. Alder begs N not to order everyone to release their pokemon. but obviously he doesnt. N spots us.
He then causes the Castle of N to rise!!
He tells us to follow him to decide the fate. with a battle of legends.
Cheren appears to talk to Alder. they just give us words.
we enter the castle.



Confronted by 6 of the 7 sages ( Ghetsis obviously is with N) we are outnumbered. but out of nowhere Clay appears. but not just him, all of the leaders! (idk why but i thought this part was epic. its the first time gym leaders get into the main story and help you. ) Holding the sages back, we can freely pass. moving up, the shadow triad appear to tell me i can use a pc and rest my pokemon. and thats where we will end. i need 2 replacements and well next episode will be the Climax
