It's been two months since I've posted anything about my playthrough of Pokemon: Omega Ruby. I still haven't finished the main game yet thanks to the busy season of my job starting up, catching up on everything I've missed since the busy season of my job started up, and my own laziness. 
But I have made some progress in the game. And that progress is this:
1. I've now beaten all eight of the Hoenn Gym Leaders, so I'm ready to go the Pokemon League now. I haven't yet though, because there are other things I want to do in the game.
2. I've collected the Celebi and Jirachi given out for Pokemon's 20th anniversary. I hope to get the others when they are released.
3. My personally challenge to have my Skitty be in the Master Rank of all five sections of the Pokemon Contests continues on. It has become a master in all the ranks except for coolness, though I intend to start getting it ready for that soon. I was worried that it wouldn't be able to complete the toughness rank, but then it learned double-edge at level 40. That move helped me a lot in that rank.
4. My current team I'm using consists of Sceptile, Swellow, Aggron, Camerupt, Manectric, and Latios. All of them at level 47 at the moment. I have the Mega Stones for all of them that have them except for Camerupt. Though I've been trying not to use Mega Evolution on them to add an extra challenge to the game. Plus I want to try different items on my Pokemon as well.
5. I caught Groudon when it showed up. And I will tell you now, my team was not equipped to fight it. Especially since it went through Primal Reversion to become Primal Groudon. With four of my Pokemon weak to its moves, plus it having the move Rest, it was not an easy battle. Which....I actually didn't mind too much. After seeing how easy the Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon X were to catch, having one as a challenge again reminded me of the old Pokemon games and their Legendary Pokemon. And after a couple of resets, I did finally manage to catch it.
6. I was given the Eon Flute shortly after catching Groudon. At first, I thought it was just a way so that you didn't have to have a Pokemon who knew Fly in your party to quick travel across the map. But boy, was I wrong. I soon learned that you flying on Latios's back allowed you to travel to places you couldn't before. I traveled to an island that had wild Porygon on it. Wild! Porygon! I've never seen them in the wild before. I was shocked when I ran into it. I also learned that you could fight Flying Type Pokemon while flying on Latios, as I learned when I ran into a flock a birds. I then proceeded in scaring the entire Hoenn Region as I sent out Primal Groudon, one of the heaviest Pokemon in existence, to float in midair and do battle with a level 40 Tallow.
7. Speaking of catching Pokemon, I also caught Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. I have a little history with these three Pokemon from the original Pokemon Ruby, in that I didn't even learn they were in that game until I saw a youtuber play through Pokemon Emerald at least five years after I got the game! I then learned what you had to do to unlock them in that game, and this technique is also what is needed to unlock them in Omega Ruby. Basically, you have to find a hidden cavern west of Pacifidlog Town. You have to use Dive in a certain spot, travel underwater until you find braille text on a wall, then surface there to find land. You also need to have a Relicanth as the first member of your party and a Wailord as the last member. Then you read more braille text, then use Dig at that exact spot. This opens an entrance to a cavern with more braille texts on stone walls. You then read all the texts, which then opens the caves that house these three Pokemon. Complicated, isn't it? That's not even mentioning what you have to do in each cave once you get to one, though those tasks are not as complicated as this one.
Anyways, I went after each one of them. The first one I fought was Regice. Out of the three, it gave me the most trouble. (If you count accidentally knocking it out once giving you trouble. ) I had to reset on it a couple times, just like Groudon, but at the end of the day I got it. Then I went up against Registeel, who apparently didn't want to put up that much of a fight against me. I paralyzed it, got its health to the red, and then caught it with the first Ultra Ball I threw at it. All that left was Regirock. I did the same thing to it as I did to Regice, in that I paralyzed it and wore it's health down to the red. But unlike its brother, it wanted to put up a fight, as it wouldn't be caught in the Dusk Balls or Ultra Balls I threw at it. So to shake things up, I jokingly threw a Net Ball at it, just to see what would happen. And I guess Regirock liked that particular Pokeball, because that is the one that caught it. I don't know what the chances are of a Net Ball catching a Regirock, but I'm thinking I luck out on that catch.
Anyways, that's all the major progress I've made in the game. I'm going to try to see if I can catch Regigigas next if I can, train my Skitty up for the Cool Rank of the Pokemon Contests, then head off to the Pokemon League.
