04/12/2023: Started my journey with Valentine in Aquacorde Town.

Caught Dagger on Route 2

Caught Echo in Santalune Forest

Caught Pyrite on Route 3

==>

Dagger evolved before the first gym. While grinding in Santalune Forest.

I beat the Santalune City gym soon after.

==> ==>

==>

==>

Caught Cider. Then Echo, Valentine and Dagger all evolved on Route 4. I wasn't even grinding, gen 6 was weird like that.

Obtained Carmen in Lumiose City

==>

Pyrite evolved on Route 5.
Encountered an Abra but failed to catch it.

==>

05/12/2023: Carmen evolved and caught Melon on Route 6.

Caught Scratch on Route 7.

Caught Veronica in Connecting Cave.

Caught Austere on Route 8.

Caught Honey on Route 9.

08/12/23: Caught Zara in Glittering Cave.

Obtained an unnamed tyrunt.

Caught Strawberry in Cyllage City.

==>

09/12/2023: Cider evolved after a trainer battle in the Cyllage City gym.

==>

Cider died to Grant's Amoura's Take Down (Cider was apparently not as 'capable of taking hits' as he thought).
Rest in Peace Cider. I was so excited to see you succeed into your roserade form, but one unlucky hit took you from us too soon.

I beat the Cyllage City gym soon after with help from Carmen, Scratch, and one good Shadow Sneak from Melon.

Caught Saint on Route 11.

==>

Austere died to a Machoke's Low Sweep in the double battle on Route 11. I slpped up and misremembered the type match-up between dark and fighting.
Absol is one of my favourite pokemon and I barely got to use him. I'm gutted. At least Valentine was able to oneshot the Machoke.
Rest in Peace Austere

==>

Flicker caught in Reflection Cave GF and Lollie evolved in Reflection Cave BF1.
Note: Can come back with surf or a good rod to catch a pokemon in Shalour City.

==>

==>

Caught Beast on Route 12. Carmen and then Valentine also evolved on Route 12.

Defeated the Shalour City gym.

10/12/2023: Recieved Ashton from Korrina.

Caught Xenon in the Shalour City waters.

Failed to catch a Dugtrio on Route 13. Whatever, I was hoping for a Gible anyway.

Defeated the Courmaline City gym with no fuss.

Canncelled Beast's evolution. I'm aiming for Slowking.

12/12/2023: Named unnamed tyrunt to Casey.

I defeated the Lumiose City gym.

Caught Blair on Route 14.

==>

==>

13/12/2023: Beast and Blair evolved via trading.

15/12/23: Gonna be honest and say I was drunk basically the entire time I was playing on the 10th. So fucking lucky no one died!

Valentine beat the entire Laverre City Gym.

28/12/2023: Caught Dexter on Route 15.

==>

Melon died to a Throh's revenge during a trainer battle in Frost Cavern.

Caught Boone immediately after. Perhaps he felt bad for us.

==>

ASHTON WAS TRICKED INTO USING SELF-DESTRUCT.

I had him use me-first on a trainer's graveller. I fucked up.

FINALLY got through Frost Cavern. Melon and Ashton accidentlly gained levels post-mortem via exp-share. Oops!!
