Is Elesa the Gym Leader who has those two Emolga that both know Volt Switch? Because if so, then she practically SLAUGHTERED me. I eventually beat her with my Liepard and Serperior.
I was playing ruby and i was thinking "wow some one was lucky enough to find a shiny pocheana, im going to hang back and train so I'm crazy strong for the area....I wish I had a shiny pocheana..." A while later I found one 0_o woooo crazy luck!
I finally got Pokemon Black. You guys say Elesa was difficult, I beat her on the first try. Though I must say she had to be the most difficult of all of them Gym Leaders so far. (About to battle #7)
Ghetsis was easy too. The only person in the entire game I had to battle twice was a random trainer, and that was because I had like, no items and was miles from a Pokecenter and my Pokemanz had no HP to begin with.
