Toxtricity obtained :) her name is Strawberry Lemonade, Straw-Lo for short. She's a shiny, so if I didn't catch her someone else sure would have! She likes clinging to me for now, and has made friends with Sparky at least. Im on the way to Medali for lunch, so i'll slowly introduce her to the rest of the team as we go.

Alright, Straw-Lo's moveset is all over the place. Thunder, Sludge Wave, Protect, and Giga Impact??? Her ability is also Plus, which... doesn't really do anything for her, since I dont have (nor do i *want*) a second Toxtricity with Minus. Was her old trainer one of those stupid people that sees a move that does big damage and immediately slaps it into their moveset ._.

So needless to say I'm gonna work on a new moveset. One that actually plays into her strengths.

Another thing: Koraidon is also in PRIME condition. Arven was right to track down those Herba Mystica, they Really pack a punch. He still can't go into his Battle Form, but Arven broughtnup something i hadnt even considered: he might just have some trauma regarding battling and is scared to make the switch. It makes sense honestly, he'd much rather run from anything that comes charging, or he'll onky fight things he KNOWS he can take down (example, a certain someones Yungoos >.>)

In a similar vein, Straw-Lo is loving her new moveset and having even matchups. She's a stone cold killer and now a little bit cocky? She wants to flaunt her stuff rather than hide now which im all for :D i wanna spend Art class tomorrow decking out her Assault Vest and making it look cool for her

Also i'm just putting context clues together, but i think in the past Straw-Lo either had a bad accident or lost terribly in a battle and her old trainer abandoned her for it. The scar on her eye is old, and according to the PokéCenter in Alfornada people were reporting sightings of her for at least a couple months. She seems genuinely scared to lose a battle, and when she misses a move or slips up she kind of? Looks at me? As if she's expecting me to do something?

And shes definitely accustomed to people and working in a trainer/trainee setting. I've had her in battles and she KNOWS what to do. Shes just... terrified of screwing it up.

UUUGGHHH i wish my friends from Unova were here :'( it would be so much easier

Okay small update: Straw-Lo and Sparky are bestfriends and she insists on either csrrying him around or tunnjng alongside him and Koraidon. This is cute as fuck

On another note: Arven and I are looking to battle the Open Sky Titan, which sounds like a Flying type and considering i have TWO Electric types this should be a breeze. Kind of concerned about the falling rocks but hey ive already survived devastating head trauma one more couldnt hurt right
