Yep, don't wear it out.
So here were my first 3 options:
Honestly, it was a pretty difficult choice between Mantine and Gothitelle, but in the end I went with the latter because I would probably find another effective Water-Type somewhere along the journey (Simeon, never forget). Let's just hope it's a she.
OH GOD WHY!
Luckily, not all hope is lost, he/she surprisingly has a Modest nature of all possible natures (SpA Up, Atk Down), and the Electabuzz gave her a huge boost of EXP, letting her reach level 8 after the first battle. A good start (at last).
Pretty obvious who won here.
I was finally allowed to nickname my Gothitelle, and I had just the name;
Seems fitting...
I ventured on to Route 1 to see what my first capture opportunity would be, and I was plesantly surprised!
My luck was really turning around, with Tranny and Bombshell at my side, nothing could-
Forretress used Selfdestruct!
Oh, nevermind.
Moving on I reached N, the ruthless killer who destroyed my Ninjask and Sandshrew with his Regigigas on my first attempt. Let's see what what he has in store this time...
FEAR ME!
Erm, OK then, whatever floats your insane boat, I guess?
After receiving some Running Shoes from my Mom (who doesn't have any Pokemon), I ran into my newest teammate; Pimpkrow!
Unova got nothin' on Pimpkrow!
Then I, unortunately, ran into Bianca, who killed Simeon (never forget), Squidward and Good-Ruby with his OP Dragon Rage. What did she have this time, you ask?
Haha, #Youaresodead
Then...
Too bad you're too lazy to attack when your life depends on it!
I then entered the Dreamyard to grind some trainers, when this happened.
Basically, I had to fight a Regirock, who knows Explosion, who almost killed Pimpkrow before he had even reached his final form. But later on, the Pokemon Gods sent a gift from the heavens.
FREE EXP!!!
400 very valuable EXP points packaged into one Pokemon, all it needed was a bow.
I went to ask Cheren why the Gym Leader wasn't doing his job, he said he probably walked past me (Hint: he didn't) and then he wanted a battle with his two very pathetic Pokemon.
We have a winner!
Unfortunately, these weaklings didn't yield much EXP, so there wasn't really anywhere else to grind effectively. I went to Route 3-
Who are you to tell me where I can and can't go?
But then I remember, the Monkey Pokemon. He would be randomized at level 10 and be completely free! So I went on over and recieved...
^this
A very slow Dusclops who only knows Night Shade as an offensive move! Whom I dubbed, Ol' 1 Eye!
So I went to take down the Gym Leader(s).
We'll see about that!
So he sent out a Spheal?
That's a nice Fire-Type you got there...
To which he replied to the swift death of with a Meloetta, wow, really?
Interesting choice.
And it went a little like this.
There could only be one!
After receiving my first badge, I realised none of my Pokemon could actually learn cut. Fair enough, I just find an HM Slave I can't use in battle, right? It didn't really go that smoothly. After going through dozens of encounters that couldn't use Cut,
leveling up Ol' 1 Eye in the process, I finally found a Bidoof! It took 4 BALLS TO CAPTURE!!! Finally, I ventured to the Dreamyard where I saved a Munna from some guys who where kicking it. We started tripping into a simultaneous dream and they ran away for some reason. Then this happened.
Say hello to Moto-Moto!
After thrashing Cheren (again)...
...a new team member joined in the form of a clam.
Guess what I named her. Don't know? Chell. As in, Chell from Portal, because it's a she, and she's a biVALVE, which is a Shell, get it? LOL!
And that ends my first update, here is my current team;
