Castelia City is an enormous city! A lot of things are going on here and it’s special every day!

At the park in the center of the city are always trainer waiting for a nice battle. Yesterday I also went there to train a little and to battle. I found a guy who wanted to have a double-fight two vs. two. Of course I had to accept that challenge!
He did send in a Throh and a Sawk. They seem kinda similar but are to totally different Pokémon types. To counter that I did send in my Pansage and Faz.
The battle was amazing. My opponent had log time the upper hand of the battle and could control it pretty much. But then it happened… my Faz evolved from a Pidove into a Tranquill! This broke his rhythm and with the added strength we could defeat him!

Yesterday we made a little visit to an island at the south-west of Castelia City called the Liberty Garden. IT’s a beautiful small island from which you can enjoy the WHOLE skyline of Castelia City. It look really impressive from there. Also in that island you an find a light house and even check how it works.

As already written on my twitter, we did reach the Skyarrow Bridge around lunchtime. But we were not crossing it right away… There were more and more tracks of the Oshawott we were following for a few days! I just had to get one before we headed over to Castelia City!

The tracks led us to a small grove nearby. Behind it we found a paradise for water/land Pokémon! A beautiful lake, an imposing waterfall, many water plants and berry bushes – easy said I would go there too if I was an Oshawott! Expect that…

Tomorrow we should reach the Skyarrow Bridge and Castelia City! Already today we noticed that we are getting closer to the sea again. The air changed and got a more salty taste. Also the Pokémon here are more water- or half water-types now. Next to Ducklett and Swanna which I already did see we found Palpitoad the evolution of Tympole. And I even discovered a wild Panpour! However it escaped as soon as it noticed me ^^;

The Pinwheel Forest we’re traveling though right now is a really nice place to hang out! It’s calm, quiet, beautiful, mysterious, just everything ^^
And there are also some nice Pokémon to catch here which I just had to do today! ;D

I must say, Nacrene City look really adorable!

There are a lot of awesome places to visit! There are some nice café’s, the natural history museum (and gym), the awesome forest and lake nearby and what I like most the abandoned train-station. I have no clue why that place fascinates me so much. But I really liked to go there and train with my Pokémon for the upcoming gym fight!

We’re travelling south on route 3 and reached a quite big lake today. Will probably take the whole next day or two to get around it. In the afternoon then the weather changed and a small thunder storm broke over us. Two, three really loud thunderbolts hit the ground not far away and a somehow familiar scream caught my attention! Something was there right where the thunder hit the ground! But what was it?!

Yesterday here on Route 03 we found a nice little kindergarten in between the city and a smaller town. Special thing about this kindergarten is that they have a uncommon Pokémon as their pet, a Trubbish! And every time they see a trainer passing by, they want him or her to fight against the schools Trubbish! So did I…
