Honey Tree across the bridge didn't pan out, but as I went back to check the one by the Windworks, I saw a Drifloon. Guess today's the day they pop up.

[SPOOKY...MAY AS WELL GET IT]

I move Nala to the front of the party to try and take advantage of its Flying/Ghost typing and immediately we run into a problem: It's Lv 22. 4 levels shouldn't make THAT much of a difference, but this won't be easy.

It stars off with a Shadow Ball that hits stupidly hard, while Nala's Spark puts it at about half and paralyzes it. I have 1 Great Ball in my inventory...that it busts right out of. But thankfully it's too stunned to attack. Thunder Shock puts it deep in the red, but a Hex knocks Nala out.

Astra takes over to let her Normal/Flying typing mitigate the usefulness of its Ghost moves, while a Poke Ball snaps on the 3rd wobble. 2nd one insta-snaps and it hits her with Payback. 3rd one breaks...and between that and the fact that it's male, I just say to hell with it and Wing Attack for the KO, then reload my save because screw that waste of time.

[TOKI WO TOMARE!!]

With the world reset to as it was before all that, I leave the Drifloon be and check the Honey Tree...a Cascoon. Pass.

Well, this was all a colossal waste of time. I'll get back to it when I'm not quite so frustrated.

[YESTERDAY LEFT HIM IN A BIT OF A SNIT AND THIS ISN'T HELPING...DON'T ASK, PLEASE]

Anyway, later.
