Trainer’s Log: Entry 116

So… it’s been a while since my last log entry, even with the release of Hoenn Pokémon.  This was due to some real-life issues that kept me busy and otherwise unable to play for the last few weeks–I did get a Farfetch’d over Thanksgiving when the Global Catch Challenge happened, but after that, I was away in India for 3 weeks, tethered to wifi and unable to play–the biggest disappointment was missing out on Ho-Oh, and with my local raid group mostly having gone home for the holidays, it’s doubtful I’ll get Groudon, either.  Oh, well…

I did attempt to try to get the Hoenn Europe/Asian regionals (Seviper and Minun) while I was in India by using up all my incenses, but that plan ended in failure–I did, however, get a Torchic from the incense, which I named Murgi (the Hindi word for “chicken”); Murgi is currently my buddy, replacing Lionheart the Totodile, who had been there for the longest time.  My layover in Paris was only just over an hour–not enough time to go hunting for Minun or Seviper there, sadly, but I did take the gym in the Delta/Air France terminal–and shoutout to my fellow Mystic teammate who fed berries to the Snorlax I’d left there to keep him alive while I was in-flight and unable to do anything about the gym being under attack by a rival team until the 8 hours had passed so that I could get my full 50 coins.

Weather’s been a bit bleh, but it was slightly warmer today, so I went out and searched for some new Hoenn Pokémon and got a good number of them–and I got the Delibird that was released for this winter event!
