Okay, so listen to this: I got to Castelia City's side of Relic Passage and found a Roggenrola. Then I killed it cuz it didn't have Sturdy (turns out in BlazeBlack2 it has Sand Force as a possible second ability) and only found another 1 and a half hours later, despite the 20% chance. Also, I found a Clefairy in the meantime, but completely forgot I needed one cuz I tunnel visioned on Roggenrola and killed it. Clefairy is 0.5% chance. Tbh tho, I think I'm going to take even longer to find a Roggenrola cuz I think I really need Sturdy to beat Burgh. Also I found like 5 Larvitars (0.5%) in the time it took me to find 3 Roggenrolas.
Either way, say hello to Cleo and Edgar.
Also I changed Psyduck's name cuz the city pun joke was just not my thing and it was really bad either way.
Time for our first fight against Burgh. He leads with Vespiquen and I lead with Boldore, and we both start boosting our defenses. As I reach +6 and he reaches +3, I start Rock Blasting mostly to preserve some of Strength's PP. He flinches me four times in a row with Air Slash and I know for a fact this thing is Leftovers because it's almost back to full HP by now, so what the hell? He flinches me once more and I'm not kidding, the only turn I don't flinch is the one he crits me. Rock Blast destroys him though. Guess what doesn't crit me? Leavanny's Leaf Blade. And I'm +6 so it does NOTHING to Boldore. Parasect's Seed Bomb is even more laughable. Parasect then Spores me and after 3 turns sleeping and tanking like a boss, Boldore's second Rock Blast kills. It could have been the first, but of course Rock Blast only hit twice on the first turn. Finally, he sends out Masquerain and almost kills me with Bubblebeam, so I switch Psyduck in but he also has Giga Drain so I switch Clefairy in and this man starts spamming Double Team. Remember I said this was the most fun I've had playing Pokémon in a while? Forget that. Also, Signal Beam confused Clefairy. This feels great. FINALLY, CLEFAIRY CRITS WITH STRENGTH. I did use a Dire Hit on a random turn. His last mon is Scyther so I sack Clefairy to heal Boldore.
Psyduck you, Burgh.
Before battling Wattson, I want to catch Maractus. I don't feel like my team as of now will beat him, and a resistance is very nice, even though Manectric probably has Flamethrower.
Side note on Colress:
After beating Colress, I found out a ton of great items were put in the place of some garbage ones in Castelia, so while looking for the Life Orb in the sewers Psyduck evolved into Golduck (btw Psyduck learns Petal Dance at level 33 in this game for whatever reason lol).
Finally, I caught Maractus. Say hello to Guillermo! Gonna be tackling Wattson on the next session though.
