Day 35

I ventured into the misty Lost Tower, where the atmosphere was heavy with silence and spirits. Among the drifting fog, I caught a Duskull lurking in the shadows, its presence adding a ghostly edge to my growing team. After paying my respects and leaving the tower behind, I set off toward Veilstone City.

Along the way, I caught a swift Scyther and a cheerful Marill, both adding variety and strength to my options. As I traveled, I was surprised and impressed when Luxio evolved into a powerful Luxray sooner than expected, its electric presence now stronger than ever. I arrived in Veilstone City, but after hearing how formidable the Gym Leader was, I decided to hold off on the challenge for now.

Instead, I made my way south toward Pastoria City. During the journey, I discovered a cave dug by a dedicated Ruin Maniac, where I caught a determined Hippopotas. I also added a fiery Houndour to my team. Passing by the quiet waters of Lake Valor, I reached the serene Grand Lake Hotel and decided to rest up there, letting my team recover and prepare for what lies ahead.
