After depositing my Pokemon I was then given two more eggs, one for free, and the other after I did a fetch quest where I ran and bought a 1,000 Poke worth of Pretty wings for the baby Pokemon to play with.
I was then offered a choice between a Pink, Yellow, and Blue egg, a quick google search tells me it is Azurill, Pichu, and Cleffa. I was already leaning towards Yellow due to having zero electric types, but it being a Pichu is disappointing. Still my prior one died quickly, hopefully this Pichu will have better results.
I then gave a Heart Scale and got another egg this time one turning into Bonsly, Mime Jr., and Mantyke, so I choose a Mime Jr of the three of them as I have several water types and outright have a fused Bonsly.
Next Egg Quest required me to get Honey which is obtained by using Thief on any Bellsprout or Oddish to steal some.
Got some by teaching Nycteribiidae Thief by overwriting Drain Kiss, and then taught it back after I got some.
Next set of eggs were Elekid, Smoochum, and Magby, the best set of Eggs by far, I choose Yellow again, and I may even add him into the team proper after some thought on who I'd fuse him with.
After some thought I then fused my Togepi and Elekid into what I hope will one day be a beast of a Fairy/Electric Type, Oberon.
In order to fit him on the team I am benching Nycteribiidae, who will come back if someone dies. It's nice to finally have at least one combat ready Pokemon in reserve after all this time.
Advanced into Route 9 the first new route in quite some time which means some catching soon, but first some battles with trainers.
Found somebody willing to trade a Charmander/Psyduck or Growlith/Slowpoke LV21 fusion for any fairy, I noticed a temporary bug where the traded LV21 may say 21 and require that EXP, but it's stats will be the same LV as a trade. Very noticeable when I traded my LV1 Cleffa. Thankfully this fixes itself upon LVing up which I tested by Rare Candy and then resetting and LVing it with an EXP Share. Dropped into the Box as a good backup Pokemon.
Caught a Raticate as my first trade who will be Wonder Traded away, and got a Nidoqueen/Hitmontop fusion which may get used in the future, LV20 of course. Certainly wasn't expecting that beast and it's stats may also drastically change with a LV up which I'll test.
Tried to catch a Persian despite having a Meowth as a type of Wonder Trade fodder due to having decent BST, sadly I failed and he died due to fury swiping Aesculapian Rocky Helmet.
What was worse is in a different patch of Grass that is still part of Route 2 they had Magnemite and Voltorb, which would have been great fusion possibilities.
Caught 5 Voltorb and sacrificed them to the quest
Evolved Oberon to Togetic at LV15 and Electabuzz at LV20, so he's now Electabuzz/Togetic combo which I wasn't expecting, looks good and he's strong enough to now take on trainers weak to Electric, and I'll give EXP share back to Rex.
Got a Lantern that replaces Fly as my Reward for helping enough people.
Then tried using my Old rod on Route 10 to catch some new water Pokemon.
I caught a Poliwag and Magikarp I'll likely Wonder Trade away and see what I get after some more gym badges.
Power Plant can be gotten to without Surf, so time to catch some Pokemon in their.
Caught a Voltorb here to own as my own, and I probably should have hunted the Voltorb for the quest here, especially since there are Pokeball Voltorbs here.
I then caught a Magnemite and had the game crash, so I'll catch one again and then store it.
I then entered Rock Tunnel and prepared to catch 2 more Pokemon.
Caught a Machop and encountered a Cubone/Zubat which burned the rest of the cave.
Found a secret area where I rock smashed in and was given a Honedge with the line It's Dangerous to go Alone.
I'll likely fuse it with something as Aegislash is one of my favorite Pokemon.
Quake NOO!!!
He died one of the least preventable deaths, I rock smashed and a LV31 Graveler popped up, I tried Mega Drain but he survived with Sturdy and used Self Destruct, Quake was at full HP. Maybe if he had been higher level he might have been able to survive.
Certainly his death felt the most cheap of them all and least preventable.
And of course there's grass outside of the cave as Route 10 and I burned my catches on fishing with the old rod.
Finally with that I was out of Rocky Tunnel and made it to Lavendar town although there were a couple of other close calls, I deposited Quake into dead and withdrew Nycteribiidae, now to debate if I wanted to rematch a Laura who would actually give me a reward of a Hyper Potion if I beat her, but she'll use her full team and may be higher level than me.
Now at Lavender town with the following team, already have a full team dead which is sad. Nycteribiidae is the oldest member and the only one who was part of my original team.
