Well, I made it to Violet. I actually made it here a couple of days ago, but when I showed up...well, Madoka's gone home.

[He's dealing with it okay, but he's obviously hit by it.]

Anyway, I'm getting prepped to take on the Gym here. I've gotten some tips from a buddy of mine, but if anybody's got anymore, I'd appreciate it.

I've never done this before, a big challenge kind of thing. I've got a Marowak, a Buneary, a Sylveon and a Growlithe, all at least level 30 that I'm thinking of using as my main team. And then I got a Chikorita and a Litleo that are a little under level 30, if I need'em. That sound good?

I'm gonna be here a while, so if anybody's in town and wants to hang out, lemme know.
