The "Who needs good pokemon?" Run. Part 3
Time to pack the climbing kit.
I make my way towards Frost Mountain and after it Blizzard City. On my way I caught a couple of mons that I thought about using. One of them is a Intimidate Shinx that I intended to evolve into a Luxio and use as a Defensive Intimidate Mon. I never actually made use of it but theoretical it still is an option. Also... nice little changes to the route.
I enter the Mountain and see some domestic abuse happen, which I follow up on as soon as possible. Bongus gets wrecked by Ivory and shortly after by me. Azumarill still be carrying (Spurk and Fratze are also nice). I leave him alone after and work my way up the mountain and through the snowy forrest up until Blizzard city. But here I have to confess something. I used a cheat. Not to win some fights or get some items, but because I had one specific mon in mind when I started this run. Ninjask. I didn't want to wait for the swarm encounter being there, so I just spawned a single Nincada. Nail me to a cross if u want, but I have my Ninjask named "I'm in!" and there is nothing u can do about it. I specificly did this after the first two gyms, where it may have actually been of some use.
I did the quest to retrieve the performers ninetales and hatched the egg that I got from it. Another mon that I don't intend on using, so I threw it into the Box. Afterwards I went into the gym beeing very sceptical of my chances, but I still wanted to try.
I beat the gym on my second try, even tho I was essentially only bringing 5 mons, as the completely underleveled Ninjask was in my party. Spurk and Azumarill did the damage and Fratze helped a lot with reducing damage taken thanks to Intimidate. My Beldum has also evolved a long time ago, but is seldom used. Mostly because I don't want to bother getting a replacement yet. But hey... I get the badge and get myself not only the HM for it, but also the DexNav upgrade for my pokedex. Equipped like that, I make my way towards epidimy town.
