I think maybe it's time to make our way to Victory Road...I'm super nervous, but I know my team can handle it...right?

Hey guys! Hey Davin! Missed me?

It's been a pretty quiet few days, but I just heard about this cool place called Sea Mauville that I want to check out! It's an artificial reef not too far from Slateport!

So Oliver, the team, and I are going to go check it out. Should be lots of fun so stay tuned!

Look at us

I'm sad that I missed us beating Giovanni and getting our 8th badge. I really wanted to see that. However I did just get to witness us kick Blue's butt. Hell yeah!

Jules' Notes: 11/7/13

My meeting with Alexa and the editor-in-chief of Lumiose Press over coffee is today. This is nerve-wracking; I think I'd rather challenge the Elite Four with only a Dunsparce than do this.

Well, wish me luck.

Jules' Dairy Day(s 23-)25 Entry 1

I swear I walked past the same little fairy tale girl five times in the Wandering Woods. Maybe she was the ghost of some poor girl who got lost and...I should stop that thought.

Anyways, after hours of wandering, I finally found the other end of the woods. In opened up into a lush and colorful field of flowers that absolutely took my breath away! And just at the exit of the forest was a big man in a blue jacket, playing with Furfrou and Fletchling. Turns out he was Wulfric, the Snowbelle City Gym Leader. He was so friendly and talkitive-we talked for an hour at least!

According to him, the field is called the Pokémon Village, and it's a hidden haven for Pokémon who don't belong or who were abused by their trainers. It was hard to believe any of the Pokémon had ever suffered, just seeing how happy they looked.

I waited until Wulfric left before letting out my own Pokémon to play a little. Loic absolutely loved tussling with the other Furfrou; I haven't seen him that energetic since the day I met him. The only downside was that the rough-housing ruined his trim, but even that was no big deal. It was about time for a cut anyways, so no harm done. As long as he's happy, so am I.

A few Pokémon were brave enough to come up and battle me. At first the team and I tried to go easy on them, but when it was clear they didn't want that we got into some pretty intense battles. As a result, I cought Zoe the Gothorita, Meme the Ditto, and Chase the Zoroark, all of whom willingly joined me. Poor Chase looks pretty worse for wear though; he must have had a cruel trainer. I won't go into the gory details, but I was surprised he wanted me to catch him after seeing that.

Yesterday we went and took on the Snowbelle City Gym, which was an experience in itself! I was praying to Arceus not to have to deal with an ice-sliding puzzle, but I think I would have taken a few bruises over that puzzle. My head is still spinning.

Wulfric, just like the day before, gave me a warm welcome-warm in the form of some nice hot cocoa before our battle. I didn't realize exactly how much I needed that!

Allette did great! She (flamed) charged through Wulfric's team-up until we got to Avalugg, at least. That thing is a cold terror in the form of a coffee table. I may have had the rest of my team if I needed, but the battle really felt like it was only between Allette and Avalugg. Ultimtately, he knocked Allette to the ground, but she left him with a burn that took him down with her. Kind of like a flaming Destiny Bond, I guess-except on  accident.

And that was how I won my eight and final badge.

We spent the rest of the day celebrating-and can you blame us? I'm confident we're ready to take on the Elite Four. 

Maman was so surprised to see us; maybe I should have told her we were coming to visit. Plus she had great news: Papa will be returning from his trip abroad in a few weeks. I haven't seen Papa in months now, except though the Holo Caster. Imagine how he'll feel when he finds his daughter is now Champion on the Kalos Pokémon League. Okay, maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself now, but I'm just so excited!

Oh! I caught a few new Pokémon too: Captain the Floatzel, Rommy the Spinda, Caché the Ursaring.

The one morning I sleep in is the one morning I shouldn't have; I almost miss my coffee date with Quartney! I feel so bad! But it was fun, and I'm glad we finally got together to do it.

Since I was in Lumiose City anyways, Loic and I went to get him another trim. He doesn't seem to know what to think of the matron trim yet.

Right now we're off to check on the berry fields, and maybe see how Jack's is doing as well. And since Trevor suggested it, we'll be stopping by the Name Rater today to give Xerneas a nickname.

As for what to call it, I'm thinking

Chayan.

Jules' Notes: 11/5/13

Ahh guys I finally got in touch with Alexa after almost a week of phone tag. It turns she wanted to invite me for coffee with her and the editor-in-chef of Lumiose Press, since she knows I want to get my foot in the door. We chatted a little and agreed to meet at the Café Woof. Guys I'm kind of panicking here.

I went shopping and managed to find something a bit more appropriate for meeting with him. Hopefully this works...

Dairy entry coming soon.
