gyarados makes its way onto the field this is a back and forth between air slash and roost against it as he's nailing crunches and waterfalls over and over again so eventually i just get tired of it swapping into gastrodon and stalling him out a bit with recover before finally nailing an ice beam to put him down third out is weavile unfortunately for me it has dig a two turn move that i could abuse with recover and then swap into peliper to evade it setting the rain back up as i swapped forward of a barrel taking an air release in the process i probably should have known that i wasn't gonna out speed to hit yawn but dig is a little bit worrisome so i swap again into gastrodon taking minimal damage from it and just bouncing back and forth between recover and surf to eventually ko leaving just probate two ice beams is able to do it in after it misses his first air cutter and lands the second doing minimal damage before i end the battle one day i'll get beat down later including a near loss of empoleon likely the only member of my team that can stand up to dialogue's rule of time and i'm free from the shackles of the story with sunnyshore city and vulchner being the last obstacle between myself victory road and the pokemon league though sadly i'm still under the impression that the level cap is NUMBER_TOKEN instead of NUMBER_TOKEN so i put empoleon in the box for the remainder of this badge seeing as it grew to level NUMBER_TOKEN on the dialga fight then go out to look for more encounters route NUMBER_TOKEN houses remarade and i tried mr backlot's mansion to see if i could get merrell but that wasn't until post game so i traveled back to the grand underground to see if i could get merrell there i didn't have the spreadsheet that i do now when i started this run so i'm looking down here for nothing eventually residing my fate into the great marsh merrell's a NUMBER_TOKEN encounter while surfing which i do find but after throwing a single safari ball and it getting three shakes it breaks out and runs away on the first turn effectively booting me out of my only fairy type for the run and likely my easy key to victory against cynthia's spiritual and garchomp but i think i can still manage as long as i play my cards right sadly during my training mbt the quagsire was killed off due to a lack of self-control ocd took a hold of me once again wanting to train it and get it on level with the rest of the pokemon for the fight against faulkner but it died in the process this happens quite often in my nuzlockes to be honest and i need to learn to move to lower level locations to ensure that my stuff doesn't get killed and sacrifice some time to do so but i digress getting through the gym was difficult with my accidentally self-imposed level cap but volkner himself wasn't actually terribly difficult at level NUMBER_TOKEN. he leads off with raichu so i go gastrodon getting hit with a critical surf for less than half as they land earth power absorbing
