Welp, this diary has been gathering dust for a while....time to wipe it off now with a new post.

A very tragic thing happened to me yesterday..I lost something worth 250k pd due to my own carelessness. I put my shiny gastly in Normal wonder trade, and got a normal pidgey...

Anyways, started ,my first event hunt; Dralucha still have only 7 eggs even after using a white flute for 6 days. I may go mad if I don't get a shiny within the next 4 months.

There is also a huge market in dragon gems,harvest them.

More to come later...as I am currently busy.

Whew... today I went form an average-good player to one of the most popular soccer players in my class; I saved 5 out of 6 goals! It was epic.
Sadly our english teacher is SUCH a zombie...i mean she just teaches us meachnically and burdens us with more work.
I have just realized why shiny events on ph are so expensive...with my white flute already used up, i have got only 1 egg in 2 days.
Today, our school hosted a 5 km cyclathon.Even our principal was riding a cycle!!!(If it were a race, I would come last, since I can't cycle fast)
For some reason I am obsessing about the animation of needle arm in RSE for some reason.Oh well. To be updated again soon!

---

Gah, the burden of my never-ending projects is starting to sink in ;-;
I have to submit 3 projects by this friday ;-;
And they are all like 20 pages long...
Still obsessing about needle arm here, and bored like crazy after writing for 2 hours. (rip me only 5 pages written)
Unrelated note: This is also my 101 th forum post!

Nice! The best Auction I ever won.It came with an enigma pearl too!!!
Welp, I'm broke again...

Thankfully done with those @#$##@ Projects, now to unwind a bit~
So more stuff to come later.

---

Then again...re bumping this...
Sigh....now I have less time for ph thanks to the huge workload of studies these days...
And since I am a prefect, I had to mind those rascally juniors for two and a half hours since it was our princi's birthday on 26th. I still have a sore throat ;-;
I hate procrastinating, but will do it again. More coming later!

I love how I just happen to be so lazy to never post here xD
I'm making this my log for some games! Pokemon Resolute is first one!
Also, I tend to soft reset the game for better IV Pokemon.
If the screenshots cannot be seen, click and drag them into a new tab. They will be visible.

Let's begin!
---Journey started on 18 Feb, 2016.

The game starts like usual, and I start a new game.
The game's professor, Avery welcomes me into the game. Since I can't think of a good name, I settle on 'Pulse'.

So, we enter the game at an area called Outsea Meadows.
I take a step, and my starter, Riolu appears in my party.

If you're playing as the male character you get Riolu, while if you're playing as the female, you get Mienfoo.

I walk around,and my Rival for this game, Eligah challenges me to a battle with his Lv. 5 Larvesta. After the battle we take a look at an unusual sight; the game's mascot.
After that I end up home, in Cedar City. As I try to leave my room, I receive a Pokenav, some Pokeballs and Running shoes from my mom. Convenient starter pack.
As I try to leave the town to the north; someone who seems to remember Outsea Meadows shows up and
He has a Lv.5 Nincada and a Lv. 6 Shinx. Not too hard.

I talk a bit with Eligah who turns up then and decide to head north to Solar City, because wynaut.
I also pick up a Tailow from Outsea Meadows.
Team Preview: [so far]
Riolu(Rash) Lv. 8: HP-25, Attack-17, Defence-13, Sp.Atk-14, Sp.Def-10, Speed-16
New!Tailow(Jolly) Lv.3 : Hp-15, Attack-9, Defence-6, Sp.Atk-6, Sp.Def-7, Speed-11.

---

---

I clear Outsea Meadows and meet up with Eligah to find out that Team Mirage ios making a comeback. Interesting.
I battle one of the Grunts who has a Lv.8 Inkay and Lv. 9 Murkrow.
I enter the Undersea Passage and fight some more Grunts.
I take on Vice leader Alma, of Team Mirage. After defeating her I head north east and exit the passage, and enter into Pearl Villa
I talk to a lady in a hose in the south-east and obtain a Togepi egg. Her dialouge before giving the egg is interesting though.
It's worthwile to train up Togepi because it Gets Moonblast at around Lv,21.
Since Earl, the leader of the town doesn't seem to be there, I head north into the Windy Path.
I clear that Windy Cave,quite reasonable except for that last trainer with a Lv.16 Magmar with Fire Punch. That thing is scary.As I exit the cave, I am challenged by another (different)mystery trainer.
He has a Lv. 10 Zorua, Lv. 10 Croagunk and Lv.10 Abra.
The fight is quite hard actually, since Zorua knows Transform and Abra knows Psybeam. I get lucky with a quick attack crit from Tailow and head along to Solar City.

Team Preview:(so far)
New!Togepi(Timid) Lv.10; Hp-27 , Attack-9, Defence-19 ,Sp.Atk-15 , Sp.Def-20 , Speed-13

So, arriving in Cedar City, there's lots of interesting stuff to do!
The south-easternmost house has seriously amusing dialouges.
In this house, you can get a Snivy by talking to the boy in this house
I head to the lab, and talk a bit with Prof. Avery. He gives me and Eligah our Pokedexes and tells us to go tell our mothers that we're going on a journey.
And since I have nothing better to do, I walk back to Cedar City to do the needful.
You'll be surprised how suspicious your mom is when you tell here you're going on a journey.
And now to head back and check on the Pearl Villa Gym. It happens to be open.
I try to enter it....and a certain someone comes out. He says that he couldn't beat the leader and suggests that we have a battle.
He has a Lv. 14 Petilil, Lv.15 Noibat and a Lv.14 Larvesta. This battle isn't too hard and I enter the gym.
Apparently I have to beat Earl's two students before battling them. I do that and...
I challenge him.
He has a Lv.14 Pidgey, Lv.14 Woobat and Lv.17 Swellowsomething seems fisht O.O.
Now, the easy way to beat him, (for me at least) was to get a Tailow to ~Lv. 16, get it burned by the Flame Body Litwick of a Trainer on Windy Path to activate Guts, and sweep with Wing/Quick Attack.
Since I'm too lazy to grind, that's what I did. Poor chap never had a chance xD
I get TM40, Aerial Ace, and

I head north from Cedar City into the Grass Path.
I beat the first trainer on the route, who calls me Outstanding for having one badge. I get HM01, Cut for beating him.
The Second trainer on the route leads with a Burgmite. Yes, you saw right., Burgmite, not Bergmite. That's a bad typo :P
The Black belt on the route has a Level 18 Scrafty. What, do these guys use Gameshark codes or something?! Fortunately Riolu's Karate chop makes quick work of it.
This route is creepy. Why? Because this:
So, that's where Earl got that underleveled Swellow from. hmm...not gameshark...
The route is pretty straightforward, and I enter Amethyst Town.
It appears to be a town of art-lovers. Talk to the boy in this house to get an Oshawott.
Some nice dialouge about an alarm clock can be seen here

New!Oshawott(Timid) Lv. 14; Hp-40 ,Attack-19,Defence-18,Sp.Atk-24,Sp.Def-20,Speed-20

I try to enter the Gym and I encounter a familiar face from the start of the game.
He has a Pidegotto, Pawniard and somthing else, which I forgot :P
I enter the gym.
To access the platform to the leader, interact with a Pidgeot statue on the right side of the room. the go into the next room from the left,. and take the center path to reach her.
Sharon , the leader has a Lv.22 Leavanny, Lv.23 Beedrill, and a Lv.24 Vespiquen.
That Vespiquen is Dangerous. VERY.
Toxic+ Protect make it a pain if you don't have any antidotes. a good idea is to lower it's defence by leer every time it uses toxic, use an Antidote when it uses Protect and keep repeating till you run out of Antidotes. A swift Wing attack is a Clean OHKO at -3 Defence(4 Leers).

I get the Imagery badge and TM17, Protect for winning.

I head into Cloud Forest, and Catch a Flabebe. The path is relatively straightforward. As I proceed, I see a familiar face and... It's the same guy from the end of Windy Cave! He has a Zorua, Croagunk and... Kadabra. Kadabra's 120 base Sp.atk is probably too hard to kill with brute force at this point in time, so you just have to time your attacks right, when it uses Reflect or Disable. Psybeam was a near OHKO on all my team.
Zorua and Croagunk were easy targets.
After defeating him, I head around the corner and start wiping Team Mirage grunts. The first one has a Quilfish. If you let it set up Minimize/Harden, it becomes a pain. The rest are pretty much easy.

Cherubi(Lv.17)Hp-44,Attack-19,Defence-23,Sp.Atk-29,Sp.Def-27,Speed-18
I have another encounter with Keldeo here. Apparently, a wonam called Nicole is its guardian. They seem to be on the run from Team Mirage. I'm challenged by Team Mirage's Vice Leader Samir, who has a Sneasel, Absol and Sandslash.
After defecating him, I head out of Cloud Forest.
Be Sure to heal up after beating him,, you have one hell of a Boss fight ahead of you.
I'm challenged by Nicole. R.I.P
That Keldeo is insanely powerful.

---

How I defeated her:
I lead with Cherubi. She leads with Keldeo.
(Turn 1) Keldeo uses Take Down and misses. Cherubi lands a successful Sleep Powder and Keldeo falls asleep.
(Turn 2) I switch to Tailow, Keldeo stays asleep.
(Turn 3) Tailow uses Wing attack, it does about 33% damage. Keldeo stays asleep.
(Turn 4) Same as above
(Turn 5) Same as above, and Keldeo is left with a tiny bit of health, ~2%. It stays asleep.
(Turn 6)Tailow uses Quick attack and Keldeo is down for the count!
Seriously,though that is one of the hardest battles in the game so far.

After defeating her, she makes a quick exit on Eligah's arrival.
....And we have our Customary rival battle immediately after this.
However, Eligah does heal my Pokemon before the battle.
He has a Prinplup, Lilligant, Noibat and Larvesta. This is somehow easy.

After the battle, I let Tailow evolve into Swellow, and enter GoldenShine Villa.

---

---

Aside from Eligah's house, there isn't much to do in this town.
Some guy in the Pokemon Center says
For some reason I can't see a cave anywhere. Oh well.
So I head west into Peace Way.
I catch a Mareep there, and meet up with the two champions of the region. I get a drinking Card from them, and they leave.
now to stock up on lemonades
The Day-care is also near there.
As I proceed, a trainer challenges me with a Lv.27 Flygon. GAMESHARK SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.
Fortunately, it's not too hard to beat.
I head on to Ultramarine City., which seems to be the centre of the region.
Talk to the old woman in this house to get a Fennekin.
I head onto the dais where Team Mirage seems to be making some sort of a speech. The speech is just...weird.
The Mystery Trainer comes up to me and talks to me after Team Mirage leaves.
He seems disappointed that Team Mirage decided to reform.
He introduces himself as Wind, the leader of Team Mirage. Yikes!
And I challenge him to a battle.
He has a Lv.31 Malamar, Lv.32 Vespiquen, Lv.33 Sandslash and a Lv.32 Croagunk.
I just want to say: Endeavor+Quick attack is super OP for this battle.

I head west into the gym. The gym has a single path.
I challenge Selphy, the third gym leader.
Aand her Emolga soundly OHKO's my entire team with thunderbolt.
Oh well, have to grind agiain.

I try to enter the casve in the route to the south to grind and...
A 'Zoroark' challenges me. Nope, I'm not going to give away more spoilers on this.
She has a Misdreavus, Sneasel, and 'Eliza'(basically a Zoroark).
Eliza knows Night Daze , Brick break and Double Team, which can be problematic.
Togetic is brilliant for this battle. Moonblast is a clean 2KO on Eliza.
But! [i] You only get Seven Exp. points for defeating Eliza/[i]
I get HM 06, Rock Smash as a reward for beating her.
But, I need Selphy's badge to use it. So, back to the gym I go!
After more grinding, that is.
I get my whole team to Lv.30, and Riolu to Lv.32.

Selphy has a Lv. 33 Eelektrik, Lv.36 Luxray, Lv.35 Emolga, and a Lv. 34 Magneton.
Ok. This is definitely one of the hardest fights in the game EVER.
This is how I beat her:(in spoiler)

Selphy is defeated. NOW I want to take a selfie of Myself! xD
I get the Film Badge, and TM24 ThunderBolt. Yaay Amphy is going to love this!

I head into the Shale Tunnel the cave to the South of the city.
I smash the rock with Rock smash, and proceed out of the cave, and keep going south to reach Dianthus town.
After hearing some amusing dialogue, I'm challenged by Mirage Grunts Karls and Bell.
In the Rare Pokemon Research facility(largest building), talk to the first scientist you meet. You can actually buy ALL the TM's in the game for $3000 each. Talk to the little girl up; ahead to get a free zorua.
I head out of the town to the south and Eligah challenges me again. This is really becoming a tradition now
He has a Lv.37 Empoleon, Lv.37 Lilligant, Lv.39 Noivern and Lv.40 Larvesta.
Not too hard. I head down to the Umber Path.
As I proceed...
I get HM04, Strength , for fending off Team Mirage, when it wasn't even my duty.
I go along the route and enter Lithopone City.
Talk to a lady in this house to get a Rotom
Apparently the Ferry isn't ready yet, so I go to the gym.
I enter it...and meet up with Alma, who is now the 'King' of Team Mirage.
She challenges me to a battle. She has a Lv,42 Manectric, Lv.43 Accelgor, Lv.44 Mienshao, and a Lv.43 Ninetales. Now, this fight was somehow easy. Even though my team is sorely under leveled.
I clear the maze and Challenge Leroy. He has a Lv.42 Metang, Lv.44 Steelix, Lv.44 Bisharp and a Lv.44 Magneton. With Delphox, this is a piece of cake. Flamethrower for the win!
I head east to Lithopone ferry, and go ro Carmine Isle. A team Mirage grunt saees me and runs away. Ih well...got to investigate. I head out the town east, and go into Carmine ruins. I defat the Mirage grunts and head up the stairway. More interesting story with Wind.

TO BE EXPANDED UPON.-
It doesn't help that my exams start in two weeks, so updates to this may be a bit slow.
