HG/SS & root canals
Started playing Heart Gold/Soul Silver with Aaron, finally. We're both just too stoked for Pokemon, and October is too far away! We're about at Victory Road for the Johto League, and our teams aaaare:
and
Emurii's Team
Mephisto, Docile, Lv. 36: U-Turn, Confuse Ray, Fly, Bite
Magmar, Lax, Lv. 36: Confuse Ray, Lava Plume, Fire Punch, Faint Attack
Cook, Lax, Lv. 37: Ice Fang, Crunch, Surf, Strength
Sakurako, Rash, Lv. 36: Poison Powder, Stun Spore, Sleep Powder, Mega Drain (this will DEFINITELY change)
Mary, Timid, Lv. 38: Rock Smash, ThunderPunch, Discharge, Thunder Wave
Patricia, Modest, Lv. 36: Shadow Ball, Payback, Sludge Bomb, Confuse Ray
Aaron's Team
FrauFrau, Brave, Lv. 37: Body Slam, Strength, Zen Headbutt, Milk Drink
Freds, Rash, Lv. 39: Wing Attack, Fury Cutter, Pursuit, False Swipe
RazorBeak, Impish, Lv. 37: Fly, Twister, Gust, Quick Attack
Emrakul, Hardy, Lv. 37: Surf, Waterfall, Sludge Bomb, Toxic Spikes
Zachariah, Lonely, Lv. 42: Headbutt, Flame Wheel, Lava Plume, Flamethrower
Taco, Docile, Lv. 38: Giga Drain, Sleep Powder, Confusion, Leech Seed (just an egg right now, but he'll grow!)
We'll probably switch up our teams a bit in Kanto, but I know that at least Gengar and Crobat are staying with me. My Gloom will be a Vileplume in a little less than 10 levels when she learns Giga Drain. She's pretty bizonkers, taking strong Pokemon out in 1 hit with a Mega Drain... anyway, that's fun.
In other news, I had a root canal yesterday. ...yup. It was 3.5 hours long, and they basically drilled the entire above-gum portion of my molar into oblivion. Luckily, my dentist and his team are amazing, always making sure you are not in pain, explaining whatever you want explained, and reassuring you the whole way. So, it could have been a lot worse. Now, I have a temporary crown for six months, until my insurance will cover a decent portion of the real crown. It's weird as hell and I'm not totally comfortable chewing with it, but at least I didn't wake up last night with tooth pain. At least we saved the tooth itself (which has like inch-long roots - my tooth roots are crazy long, they described the procedure as "difficult" and said "I don't know why your roots are so long!!"). My tooth is a cyborg.
