Nice to see that Bard is still in communication with his friends.
Hmm, we probably shouldn't have the others help out Leviathan all the time, or else they may get bitter. Probably fine for Neptune though--Neptune seems pretty even-keeled.
Yay!
Bwahaha, next time we need to fight criminals, we're going to have so many debuff options.
As for voting, I'm thinking something like this? We're kinda in a holding pattern right now, training and resting after our battle with Team Olympus and before we challenge the city's gym. I dunno whether Bard will be prepared to challenge the gym tomorrow, or has to wait till his team reaches ~Level 20.

Oh, and another problem that's already popping up is that whoever is in storage will keep getting left behind in levels. Joan and Adamantine are at lvl 13, compared to the 15-17 of the rest of our team.

Well, he's supposed to be sociable. Wouldn't make sense if he abandoned his friends.
Honestly, I'd still have one or two core friends even if he wasn't sociable.
Neptune's one of the calmer members of the team. He won't hate Bard for this.
He'll hate Bard for other reasons.
There are two solutions for this. One is to put them in Daycare. The second will come later, when Bard has enough money.

Ooh, maybe if Neptune helps Leviathan now, later on, Leviathan will in turn help Neptune become a raging water dragon. ^_^
Healing your pokemon and eating lunch wasn't eventful. Chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans.
"...ing you breaking news of a bank robbery in Downtown Treader, where the Shining Star Bank has been struck by what is believed to be the largest heist in recent years. Approximately two hours ago, the four suspects entered through the main entrance posing as bank customers and proceeded to..."
You stop listening as the nurse calls to you to let you know your pokemon are healed.
"...and feel free to come back anytime." Nurse Joy says with her usual smile.
"Thanks" You reply. "Though before I go..."
"Yes? Is there something else I can help you with?" Joy asks.
"Well, do you know much about Gideon? The Gym Leader?" You ask. A lot of trainers probably come through here, many of them probably beaten by Gideon. She must know something.
"Not that much, I'm afraid." She says. "I know he's uses Grass type pokemon and he doesn't come out of his gym a lot ever since what happened a little while back."
You sigh. So much for that. "Thanks anyway. I hope you have a good one" You say.
"You too" She says as you leave.
You go all over town to try to find anyone who knows anything about Gideon, and you get a lot of info... about his acting career.
He was in the lead in "Love and Let Love", "Died Once, Buried Twice", and "What's My Name". He played the villain in"Crash Squad", and he cameoed in "Love and Battles". His acting career ended after he shattered his leg while filming "Ten Dead Men".
The only thing you know for sure is that he's a Grass Type Gym Leader. Still, it's something.
You go out to Route 303, hoping to prepare your pokemon.
Neptune, Moondust, Fluffy, and Eva all do well against the wild pokemon, though they, like Philosoraptor and to a lesser extend Leviathan, are starting to outclass them. Soon, there won't be much of a benefit to training them around here.
Philosoraptor shows some improvements as the hours drag on, getting faster and hitting harder. She's come a long way since you first met.
Leviathan doesn't seem to improve much this time, though, as far as you can tell, she's warming up to you.
You hope.

Sure, why not. Let's take a look at the gym. Maybe the gym trainers will let us know whether we're ready to challenge the Gym leader Gideon.

On your way to the Gym, you keep asking people about Gideon and you have as much luck as you did before. Like most Gym Leaders, he used different teams based on how many badges the trainer who challenged him had. You heard that he is apparently a fan of the Seedot line, you don't get much more than that.
Around 12:30, you get to the Gym on the North end of town. It is a dome shaped, light green concrete building with dark green vine-like designs painted on it. The top of the building is made of glass, likely to let sunlight inside. Two small windows are in front of the Gym. Curious, you look inside.
The first thing you see is plants. Lots and lots of plants. From flowers and small trees in pots lining the walls to large trees growing directly out of the ground that makes up the floor of the gym. White paint on the grass marks the arena, and the opposite side of it from you, can only see a single man, sitting at a table that isn't immediately viable from where you are and talking to a Nuzleaf. The man is in his forties, you think and despite the very flammable vegetation surrounding him, he is smoking a cigarette. Nuzleaf, for his part, doesn't seem to mind the cigarette smoke.
It doesn't look like there are any other people in the Gym to battle or ask for advice. And you doubt that the Gym Leader would give you tips on how to beat him. Still, you healed up your team on the way here. If you wanted to take him on, you could do so right now. Do you go in?
[] Yes

As you enter the gym, the smell of cigarette smoke hits you immediately. You try to wave it away but it persists. Eventually, you give up. You're used to the smell anyway.
Gideon morosely looks up at you. He's wearing a brown suit with a white turtleneck underneath, with several vines, real or fake, running down his sleeves. The top of his black hair is dyed bright green. If not for the turtleneck, his whole ensemble makes him look like as much of a plant as the rest of the ones in his gym. He takes one last drag of his cigarette before putting it out on the ash tray on the table before getting up and walking to his place in the arena.
"You're Bard, right? He asks. He talks in a slow, smooth voice.
"That's right" You reply, "and I guess you know why I'm here."
"Quite. And you should know that here, it's three pokemon versus three pokemon. Three pokemon get knocked out on either side, that side loses" Gideon explains.
"Got it" You reply. You heard that different Gym Leaders had different rules about how they run their Gyms. Looks like this is how Gideon runs his. Still, that means you can't outlast his team with numbers like you did in Devan's Gym.
Gideon makes it to his place in the arena before digging out a pokeball from his jacket pocket. "Your friend, Jake I think his name was, he was in here hours ago, yelling about teenager things..."
"We're... we're not really friends you say" You say as you take your place. Gideon, however doesn't seem to pay attention.
"If I can't even beat a kid, who am I as a Gym Leader? An actor? A man?" He says to himself, he looks down for a few seconds before turning to face you.
"But you're young. Why am I boring you with the laments of an older man? Let's battle!"
Choose one pokemon.

He's going to use primarily Grass type pokemon, so Ground, Rock, and Water types are out.
That means Neptune and Leviathan are out.
Grass has a resistance to Electric, Grass, Water, and Ground.
Grass is weak to Bug, Flying, Fire, Ice, and Poison
Fluffy has Fairy Wind, and not much else that would particularly effective here, but is resistant to Grass. Leave her as a tertiary or quaternary choice, in my opinion.
Eva does not have anything with a type advantage against Grass, and is weak to bug, which is likely to make an appearance. Tertiary or quaternary choice.
Philosoraptor is resistant to Grass and Bug, and has Flying type attack in the form of Wing Attack. Primary or Secondary choice.
Moondust is resistant to Poison, Bug, and Double resistant to Grass, and has Bug, Poison, and Flying attacks available. Primary or Secondary Choice.
I'm going to start with Philosoraptor, and leave Moondust as a trump.

Both Zeromaru and Arkatekt's reasonings make sense, though I'm leaning towards the idea of using Moondust as the reserve.
Another thing to note is that it was mentioned Gideon likes the Seedot line, though that doesn't affect either plan unless if we need Eva.
But overall, I'm nevertheless reluctant to not vote for Moodust, 'cause I had a whole series of puns prepared for MData's typo.
Edit: I'm doing it anyway.
Where does a Miltank watch films?
The Moovie Theater.
What word would describe a temperamental Miltank?
Moody.
Who is Miltank's favorite Pokemon on Bard's team?
Moodust.

Huh. I automatically discounted that, since Powder moves don't affect grass types in Gen VI. But technically Zeta Omicron runs off of Gen V + fairy mechanics, so...it's whatever the QM prefers, I guess?
