WELCOME TO THE SINNOH REGION, a massive island rich with exploration and Pokemon. Legends say that Sinnoh was the very first Pokemon region to come into being;
and so the nefarious Team Galactic has begun searching for the time and space Pokemon in an effort to destroy and recreate the entire Pokemon Universe. Will you step up, earn your badges,
and fight to defend the world? Or do you believe in Galactic ideals, wishing to follow their efforts in starting anew?
[ 08.15 ] Welcome to Sinnoh! Team Rocket have arrived in Sinnoh and have left a very daunting message here. With the introduction of a new class comes another promo!
Check out the rocket promotion here and stay tuned for many more exciting events!
major news alert!
witness reports from all over the region has been flooding in about strange happenings at the three lakes. what's more perplexing is that these occurrences seem to be happening spontaneously at the lakes. just moments ago, a burst of light erupted at the locations and residents in the vicinity have reported that the lake-side pokemon have turned aggressive and attack on sight.
However, there have been rumours and sightings of the legendary lake trio which has had trainers flocking in from all over the region.
[attr="class","smdbody"]sinnoh routes honestly gave him such a headache. even with a map in his hands he couldn't help but feel a bit lost trying to navigate from one town to another. apparently he needed to get to veilstone for the third gym, but in order to do that he needed to go past route 211, then celestic, then route 210, then route 215. it was a nightmare.
he had enough items stocked up to last him the journey through 211, but he was certain he would need to stop at celestic to get some potions and the likes. his team needed training too; mira and zu were both quite low compared to the third gym's standards. fifteen was fine.
so he had mira out of her pokeball, walking along the route with him. he would be glad for anything right now, he just wanted to train a bit.

[attr="class","smdbody"]soon enough they ran into their first encounter of the day: a scraggy. he's definitely seen one before but he took out a pokedex to scan it just in case. it looked like an interesting pokemon but he had no interest in capturing it.
this would have been an easy battle for mira but he wanted zu to get some training too. "i'm going to let zu take this one," he said to the milotic, who waved her tail to acknowledge. he recalled the milotic and sent out his drilbur. the pokemon was still new to battling so liam had to lower himself to one knee to give the mole pokemon a pep talk.
"this one's an easy battle, just be careful not to get hit," he said. zu looked nervous but readied himself for a battle. he faced the scraggy and waited for orders.
"dig then x-scissor," he said. the drilbur dug into the ground and scurried towards the scraggy, soon popping out underneath him and hiting him twice, once normally and the other with a bug type attack. both hit successfully but the scraggy immediately retaliated with a low kick attack, which didn't do much damage thankfully. "x-scissor again!" he yelled out. zu slashed at the scraggy twice before it finally fell. no pokeball was used.

[attr="class","smdbody"]as soon as the battle was over the drilbur dug his way back over to where liam was. once again he bent down to one knee and gave it a pat on the head. "good job," he said. the drilbur extended out his arms, asking for liam to pick him up. the boy would normally never do this but he felt quite happy so he picked the mole up and carried it in his arms.
"don't tell mira," he whispered, chuckling as they started walking along on the route again. soon the next pokemon showed up and zu for once was ready for a battle. liam was a bit wary though as he scanned the pokemon with his pokedex.
"its attacks will hurt you a lot so be careful," he instructed. zu nodded and readied himself. "just use x-scissor," he ordered. zu dug into the ground and suddenly popped out in front of the tangela, delivering two dangerous blows to the pokemon. one missed however and it was quickly countered with a vine whip, which really hurt the drilbur.
"careful!" he yelled out. zu focused and hit back with two x-scissors, and that was more than enough to knock the tangela out. no pokeball was used.
liam walked over to the drilbur, searching his bag for a potion as he walked over. he used it on the drilbur and smiled.
"you did great."

[attr="class","smdbody"]the drilbur was slowly becoming a great battler. it was definitely capable of it, it just needed to be more comfortable and less nervous, which was much easier said than done. it all came with practice, liam assumed. and so here they were, getting more practice for the drilbur.
next up was a sword pokemon, one he hasn't seen before. he took out his pokedex and scanned the thing. it knew no moves that was effective against zu so that was good. and zu had one move that would destroy it so that was even better. liam smiled and tapped on the drilbur's shoulder.
"only use dig," he said. zu nodded and readied himself for a battle. he let the honedge move first. it used a swords dance to power itself up and then moved forward for a tackle attack. drilbur tanked it, which made it much easier to retaliate. the drilbur immediately dug into the ground and jumped out twice, attacking the honedge with repeated dig attacks.
the honedge fell.

[attr="class","smdbody"]battle after battle the drilbur persisted on. he had to commend the little mole pokemon, not everyone could do back-to-back battles like that and still be ready for more. it seemed to have lost the nerves as well, which was really important. if liam had a treat he would give it to the mole right now, but he didn't. instead he rewarded it with a pat on the head.
then a shuckle rolled out of a bush and stopped their path. the end of the route wasn't too far away anymore but this was still annoying. he scanned the pokemon and concluded that zu was fine to battle it.
"one more?" he asked the mole. zu nodded and readied himself for a battle. "use hone claw first then metal claw," he ordered. the drilbur sharped his claws together by rubbing them against each other, increasing his attack by a stage before rushing forward to deliver a metal claw attack. the shuckle hit back with a struggle bug attack, but it didn't do much to phase the drilbur.
"again!" he yelled. just like the past battles the drilbur delivered two more consecutive attacks which was enough to knock the shuckle out cold. drilbur wasn't healthy anymore though.
"you did great today," he whispered to the drilbur. back into the pokeball it went and out came his trevenant, who was ready to guide them out of the route.

[attr="class","smdbody"]and finally the last pokemon appeared in front of them, blocking their path to the next town. a pokedex came out and scanned the bug. it wasn't very strong at all, nothing the trevenant couldn't beat. it wasn't even going to be a challenge, he thought. so with a quick flash of red back came the trevenant and in its place was drilbur again.
"last one, you up for it?" he asked. zu nodded and looked at the flying bug. "hone claws then go in for a metal claw," he said. zu did the same as he did the last battle and rubbed his claws together before leaping forward to slash downwards at the bug. the bug used a stun spore which left zu paralyzed. this was the first time one of his pokemon has ever been in a status.
"try your best to use metal claw!" he yelled out. zu did indeed try his best, managing one slash but other than that he stood there frozen. the vivillon was hurt but it quickly retaliated with a struggle bug attack, which almost knocked the drilbur out.
"you're so close!" he called out, doing his best to encourage the mole pokemon to attack. his encouragements eventually paid off as the drilbur managed to slash at the bug type twice, causing it to faint.
and with that liam praised the mole pokemon and recalled it back into its pokeball before walking to the next town.
