Day 112

I traveled back west across Paldea until I reached Cascarrafa City. After treating myself to some new clothes, I went to challenge the local gym leader, Kofu—only to discover he had rushed off to Porto Marinada, forgetting his wallet in the process. Taking it upon myself to return it, I journeyed through the scorching Asado Desert. Along the way, Crocalor finally evolved into a mighty Skeledirge, its fiery song echoing across the dunes. I also caught an Orthworm tunneling beneath the sands and a mischievous Maschiff lurking near the edges of the desert.

Eventually, I reached Porto Marinada, reunited Kofu with his wallet, and followed him back to Cascarrafa for our battle. The fight began with Brambleghast facing off against Veluza. Veluza struck hard with Pluck, but Brambleghast held steady, using Hex and Mega Drain to whittle it down while keeping itself alive. Next came Wugtrio—Naclstack opened with Salt Cure before I switched back to Brambleghast, whose Mega Drain finished the job while Salt Cure’s damage ticked away. Finally, Kofu sent out his ace, a Terastallized Crabominable. Kilowattrel rose to the challenge, striking with a swift Electro Ball. Despite not Terastallizing itself, the blow was more than enough to topple the hulking crab, sealing Kofu’s defeat and earning me another gym badge.
