Hello! day 45 of our road trip was another long driving day, but I’m still going to write about most of ot! i am not entirely sure why i’m yelling. anyway. yesterday we passed through Maine, New Hampshire, and finished off in Massachussetts. on the car ride, i watched some movies, we listened to the third Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy book, Life, the Universe, and Everything, i read, i played some games. Life, the Universe, and Everything is, like Restaurant at the End of the Universe, is about finding the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. not the answer, as they found that out in the first book. i will not spoil it, so if you want to know the answer (not the question) then please read and/or listen to the HItchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. it’s near the end of the book. i watched a couple of Star Wars movies, starting by finishing Episode II: Attack of the Clones, which we had started before, and then watched Rogue One, a somewhat sad but also kind of funny movie that falls between III and IV. for the reason of prequels, episodes I-III were made after IV-VI. then Lucasfilm made a bunch of stuff between the two, which is honestly some of the best stuff there is. the day was largly uneventful, and we didn’t stop anywhere interesting. at the end of the trip, i decided to prepare for my… uh… 5th(?) try at the Elite Four in my Pokemon game. in every Pokemon game, there are four Trainers at the end of the main storyline who pose the final challenge to those who collected all 8 Gym Badges. in the newest ones the elite Four wasn’t as hard, but there was a much more challenging fight at the end, and in gen 7 (Sun and Moon) there wasn’t the Champion. the Champion (or in the newest ones champion ranked trainers) is the final enemy you must face before you can claim that the title of the best trainer in the region. the Champion is normally a Dragon type trainer, meaning they train dragons, or at least has a finisher of Dragon Type. they are also often HORRIFICALLY challenging battles. the Sinnoh group are some of the hardest there, due to their strange type combonations. i have made it to the champion twice, and i only really did that by exploiting the dual types of the Elite Four. I’m getting off track, and i can probably ramble aimlessly about Pokemon for a good day or two, so that’s all for now. Bye! -Colin
