I did a water trainer run with alpha sapphire, lots of rain dance, lots of water trainer V water trainer, and lots of surfing. My favorite team member has to be this Walrien with stockpile, protect, hail, surf, and ice body that stalled out Steven's whole team while taking stab stone edges like they're nothing. That was pretty funny. A big tough metal dinosaur falls before chonky meat tube's first hit after failing to put more than a small dent in it.
It was a full water monotype, IGN would say there's too much water in this game BUT I DISAGREE!
Not enough water! Not nearly enough! MORE WATER.
The only reason she didn't join Aqua was because Archie didn't plan long term.
Now she's eliminated the competition, caught Kyogre, and the fools cheered her on as she did it! No can stop her!...Not unless her rival catches wind of her secret plan, captures Groudon and they have a dramatic anime rival-turned-evil fight, at the place they first battled as newbies: By the little dewdrop pool!
Okay, so I was sitting though the credits while writing this and guess what happened and where? I forgot about that after credits battle that happens to take place...By the dewdrop pool. HE'S ONTO HER!
But don't worry, she won and there's definitely no way that he's gonna come back stronger waaaay later and beat her again at the same spot after a ton of training. This isn't some trope-y Japanese cartoon after all...It's a trope-y Japanese video game!
So all and all I'd say this playthrough is going well
