Bold Battles form Banner-Building Bender!

Farfetch'd is still broken

It's been a banner weekend for us here at the Commune Pastures Pokemon Ranch, with our headlining team sweeping badges from Cianwood, Olivine, and Mahogany Gyms. Three badges in three days brings us screaming on back to Goldenrod City for some "relaxation" at the Pokeathelon Dome and some general-purpose housekeeping back at the ranch in Ecruteak.

Suffering from a shortage of orders, there's not quite as much to the latter as I would like - for the most part, it's raking in apricorns, keeping my bags organized, updating our comprehensive listing and planning my next moves. You see, I've come to really enjoy this gym challenge, and while I appreciate there's a bit of a jump between Pryce's skill level and that of the dragon-taming Clair, it's only a matter of time before I've run out of Gym Leaders to beat.

So, I've decided to test my continuing luck - and the quality of our breeding stock - by bringing my challenge to the Elite Four. Such a decision is never taken lightly, particularly when it involves travel to Kanto with a boatload full of pokemon - Quagsire and Kangaskhan aren't exactly small. Still, I think I've got it in me... and from there, who knows?
