Still, I've kept this saved game because the Battle Factory is fun and it's pretty close to completing the Hoenn dex, and therefore earning my Diamond a Johto starter! In previous saved games I've only once won any Battle Symbols, and that was the Silver Luck Symbol, which in my opinion is, as its name suggests, easy to get, based on luck. Still, I get through two play throughs of the Battle Factory and go for the third, and one of my Pokémon is a Gardevoir. It has Psychic, Ice Punch, Fire Punch, and Magical Leaf. To most players this wouldn't be particularly significant other than it shows this Pokémon to be AWESOME. However, in my Diamond, one of my best Pokémon, level 81, which I bred to get a specific nature and, of course, gender, on this very saved Diamond game, is a Gallada, with Psycho Cut, Ice Punch, Fire Punch and Leaf Blade. Coincidence? Well either way, along with a Quagsire with an incredible Earthquake and a Mr. Mime with a decent Thunderbolt, we pwn our way through the next six battles. Then the attendant got a phone call... For the second time ever I found myself up against a Frontier Brain!! And...I won!!!! Hooray! Here's a play-by-play of the battle, but before I start, I'd like to point out that I was really UNlucky with Noland's Pokémon! He could have had three of so many and he had these! I send out Gardevoir, he sends out Salamence. Ice Punch takes it down in one hit, but then comes his Snorlax. Mega Kick takes Gardevoir down in one hit. My Quagsire and the Snorlax go at it with Earthquake and Mega Kick a couple of times, until Quagsire goes down, leaving Snorlax low in the red. Mr. Mime's Thunderbolt finishes it off, and Noland sends out his Snorlax. I didn't realise this in the battle, but crucially both Mr. Mime and Alakazam had the Trick/Choice Band move set. I launch in with a Thunderbolt, and Noland makes the critical error of using Trick. Each turn Alakazam is forced into trading our identical items whilst I chop its health down to nothing. He had three incredible Pokémon, but only one was used well. One was just bad luck for him, whilst the other was due to a critical misjudgement. But I've got my first Frontier Symbol! The Knowledge Symbol!
