Day 52

To prepare for my next Gym battle in Mistralton City, I spent time training and expanding my team. I caught a Deerling while exploring the nearby routes, then climbed the Celestial Tower where I added a Litwick to the team. With training complete, I challenged Skyla, the Gym Leader. She was stunning, with striking tanned skin that left an impression—but I stayed focused on the battle.

Krokorok opened with Crunch to bring down her Swoobat. Tynamo stepped in next and used Spark to take out Swanna. Her Unfezant proved more stubborn, especially with Razor Wind, but Dewott powered through using Razor Shell, eventually claiming the win. With another badge earned, I set off for Twist Mountain.

Inside the snowy tunnels, I faced another tough loss—Cottonee was defeated by a trainer’s Boldore, a hard blow to take. However, Darumaka evolved into a powerful Darmanitan, boosting my team’s strength. I also caught a Woobat as I navigated the icy maze.

After making it through the winding mountain paths, I finally arrived in Icirrus City, snow falling gently as the next challenge waited ahead.
