He's my new Pokémon best friend and partner in crime!

So this is the main rival Hop and I like his lingo tbh, I kicked his butt in our first battle which was 1v2 (he also had a Wooloo aside from his starter, Scorbunny)
I got a Dynamax Band from Professor Magnolia so now I can Dynamax my Pokémon when doing Max Raids and Gym Battles
I gained access to the Y-Comm and idk why they had me as a Model but I changed it to a Reporter which so happened to have a matching complexion and hair color compared to the actual me 


I knew about the sneaking in the grass, but the whistling is definitely a new thing. It's helpful for trying to get certain Pokémon or clear a path to an area while trying to avoid encounters
Okay so Klara was at Wedgehurst station after I came back from being in the wild area??? A Galarian Slowpoke showed up and I caught it so she could take the train to the Isle of Armor!

Galarian Slowpoke looks like it dipped it's head in mustard, but that's okay. I caught him and he'll be well taken care of!

Sonia met up with me at the Pokémon Center in Motostoke and got me set up with a League Card. I went to the salon and got my hair changed as well!

So Team Yell was making it impossible for us Gym Battle challengers to check in at the Budew Drop Inn. I beat up two of their trainers' Pokémon and the commotion was loud enough for Hop to run over and join in on the nonsense!

I've been looking forward to teaming up with Hop for a battle and we managed to take down the rest of the Team Yell Grunts together! 


So Chairman Rose was the announcer for this event!
The Gym Leaders had an incredibly sick scene for their entrance! 
The 3rd pic features apparently all but one Gym Leader, though.




This animation sequence with all the Gym Battle challengers coming onto the pitch was also very clean and I'm liking the angle they caught me at 


Hop decides to challenge me to our 3rd battle and I can't believe he hasn't evolved his Scorbunny yet! I love the energy he gives off! Still beat him though!

My Galarian Zigzagoon evolved into Galarian Linoone and my Blipbug evolved into Dottler this evening! 


I made curry with Becca and it was a Wobbuffet Class in taste rating. Drizzile was enjoying the Sweet Burger-Steak Curry as well! 


I spent the whole evening looking for him, 1% encounter rate btw, I was heading back to the Pokémon Center when I ran into him!

Played with Susan's and Molly's Pokémon at their camp and got Milcery class rating for my curry this time
Located one of my essential team members and captured them. All that's required to evolve them is to obtain a Berry Sweet, so hopefully I'll get that soon.
He said the Pokémon he had have been raised for 50 years, and I was finna say you don't look even a day over 18 yet

We talked about the Geoglyph and how it seems to be related to the Dynamax Phenomenon and how it possibly ties in with the lore of The Darkest Day and Sonia gave me Milo's League Card after I shared my thoughts on the matter
Ahh this is why Milo has a Wooloo! No wonder this was easy for Hop because Wooloo is one of his partner Pokémon

First Gym Battle underway and this is probably one of the few games I actually find the battle theme absolutely addicting to listen to
Bro the 3rd pic looks so wholesome and idk why but yeah look how happy he is about to get his butt kicked

I'm going to be honest I was pretty scared to fight this one with a Water-type, but it's not super fast like Whimsicott so I was actually able to take it down even with a type-disadvantage. (I recommend being close to level 30 if you use Water-types for this battle!)
This is actually pretty sick, I can't wait to see what this'll look like once I have all 8 gym badges! I can finally catch some higher level Pokémon in the Wild Area, too!

I got a 10 level cap increase on my Pokémon too which is a relief, now I can gain 10 levels and not worry about them not listening to me 


Harrison's Pichu is interested in my Boltund?
Oh yeah, I got Milcery Class again, I stirred too hard and I wasn't fanning enough this time


This mischievous boi is designated to Amped Form by nature, but I may breed him so I can use a Low Key Form instead. I'm going to need a Ditto for that.
This is pretty neat. Prevented Team Yell from doing something illegal and I got a free Rotom Bike I can use!
Hop ran off ahead of me but thanks for the parting gift! I'm excited to have a Water-type gym as the next one to challenge. You know I'm using Drizzile again! 


I GOT GOOSEBUMPS WHEN I READ THE TEXT BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH CAFÉ MASTER DWIGHT I CAN FINALLY EVOLVE MY MILCERY INTO THE EXACT FORM I WANT TO ALSO GUYS THIS IS THE VERY FIRST SWEET I'VE GOTTEN IN THIS GAME
