Story:
Grinding Bacon up to level 9, then finally going to face N. Fried that Purrlion no problem. Route 2 here i come!
YES, a Lillipup. Named it Kung Pao. You know, Chinese places don't care if the meat they serve is chicken or dog, right?
Ground him up to level 9.
Went to the dream yard. Got a Pansage, named him Caesar, after the salad. (Gift pokemon, so my hopes for an Munna is still alive. Went, battled Cheren, annihilated him, then yet more grinding...
Got my party up to level 11, then I just said screw it and went in the gym. Dispatched the first two trainers without difficulty. Oh, hi Cress. lets battle.
Bacon (L. 11) v.s. Lillipup (L. 12)
I get the dog down to red, but naturally Potion. I get him down to red again, but i'm in red too, so i start potioning too. He uses work up. uh oh. each bite now does 17 points to my Bacon. Segue to a string of potion, bite, potion, until i'm at 22 hp.
Ok, Tackle and finish it! Bite. Flinch. DAMN.
I was going to use a potion here, but a gut feeling: I use Fresh Water. CRIT. He gets Bacon down to 3 hp. Whew.
Another montage of potioning and biting ensues. Flinch again. Another montage of potioning and biting ensues.
THEN FINALLY BACON KILLS LILLIPUP. That SOB.
Ok. He sends out Panpour. I switch to Kung Pao.
Kung Pao (L. 12) V.S. Panpour (L. 14)
I leer him 3 times, while he hits Kung Pao with water gun 3 times. Barely alive, I switch him out to Caesar (L. 10). VINE WHIP VINE WHIP
I win without any deaths, despite my team being horribly underlevelled. Let's not do that again.... Fennel intercepts me and sends me to the dreamyard now. Munna HERE I COME.
