Will NOT Arena Abuse Florina. Have given up on Rebecca. Have instead decided to train up Bartre in this level.

Last run with this method failed to Wyverns ganging up on Eliwood, but I'll know better next time. (He survived and killed 3 with a Killing Edge, but the one with the JAVELIN got him. Confound it.) Hector proved that, with enough Vulneraries, he can wipe out the Monks with his mad Hand Axe jutsu, so I'll see if I can repeat that this time.

I do need Bartre to get Karla eventually, anyway. This is for the best.

No, I can't use Raven, because I don't have Oleg's Hero Crest yet and I don't like wasting EXP on a level 20 unit unless I can avoid it. No, I'm not taking any promoted units beside Priscilla and Hector, who acts like a promoted unit after those stat boosts I blew on him, because this is an Arena level. No, I'm really not sure even about taking Florina, to be honest.

But it's pointless to take Rebecca because the Wyverns come about four at a time, so any marginal convenience she provides in eliminating one is offset by having to protect her from the rest of the abominations. At least Bartre can take hits. I already HAVE three sword-users on the field, with Eliwood, Lyn, and Legault - I don't enjoy having strange, disturbing, and scarring experiences with the weapon triangle and 7-move units, thank you.

Whee, Hector Hard Mode!

And each vertical stack of apartments shares the same circuits.

Whee, subsidized housing. D|

BLASPHEEEEEEMY.

Ash, hold on tight to that Pikachu, because I'm worried for it now. First went Misty and Brock, now TEAM ROCKET has returned to Kanto... Ooh boy.

(And before you ask - no, there apparently wasn't any resolution. Just a write-out. This was back in early October, so there's still hope, buuuut... That's what I thought when I read in Beckett Pokemon Collector that Ash had split from Misty and Brock, too...)
