Event: Challenge Bowl '12

[11wildy]

Can anybody tell me if I need to redo the whole E4 or just the champion, so I can actually finish this? In case of the whole E4, I will grind to level 65 first -.-

[Sydian]

You can't save in front of any of them...lol If you won the first time against the E4 and lost to Alder, your wins against the E4 still count, but you lost your Alder battle so that's still a loss for your season. You can go back and fight them and beat them all if you want after that, but the standings remain the same.

[11wildy]

Yeah I understand, but is the challenge considered complete even if I don't beat Steven and the rest of the E4 again? Oh well f it, I'm doing it anyways. Expect me to be done in a few days.. Depending on school.

[Bob III]

I've realized I won't be able to have the moveset requirements by my first E4 run, do I just need the moves by Red?

[NecrumWarrior]

I am off to a rusty start, I must admit. I just lost in the first game. Necrum Vs. Cress, loss.

Current score: 0 - 1

I would try to recreate the fight as much as you can and lose, then beat her, since you're not supposed to save before gym fights anyway.

Sorry I haven't updated the list like I said I would. I'm busy trying to juggle this challenge along with playing White 2 AND Black 2, and then let's not forget school. It's band season! So much band. Truth be told, I'll probably try to win most of my season and just stop lol. I just don't have the time. But I'm pushing through! I got another badge today. BARELY THOUGH. I almost lost. I had used my max of 3 items and my last party member was almost gone, but I won. Hopefully from here on out, gym battles will be easier haha.

So here is my first GOOD update, where I will explain my name choices for things finally! I am naming my Pokemon carefully, usually in sync with why I picked them for their respective role in my team. Anyway...


Coach: Bear (Paul "Bear" Bryant, one of THE best AL coach! Wish there was a coach NPC)
Game: White (Alabama's colors are crimson and white)
Standings: 2-0


Bama! / Smeargle (m) lv. 20 (couldn't think of a name! might rename later)
Flame Charge, Psywave


Big Al / Phanpy (m) lv. 21 (named after Alabama's mascot)
Take Down, Rollout, Tackle, Defense Curl


Ha-Ha C-D / Timburr (m) lv. 22 (named after Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix)
Low Kick, Bide, Leer, Rock Throw


Ballerina / Petilil (f) lv. 14 (named after Marching Ballerinas which is my uni's danceline)
Leech Seed, Stun Spore, Mega Drain, Growth

So far, this team is ROUGH. I was afraid I'd lose to Lenora. I got lucky. She used Leer right when I chose to use Low Kick, and Timburr is slower than Watchog so...yeah. Very lucky, especially since she had already used Leer the turn before (which I had to use an Awakening during-- my last item for that battle). From this point on though, I think the gyms will get easier. Smeargle is about to get a new Sketch, Phanpy will evolve as well as Timburr, and I just added Petilil to the team SO THERE'S NO WAY TO FAIL! I'll add my Swablu after I beat Burgh, and then Victini will probably come in as soon as the rest of my team hits 50, which is normally around gym 8. ...Hopefully I'll get that far. XD I'll try to find some time to update the list. -yawns- Lists r lame :(

[11wildy]

There we go, was a really easy battle at level 61-63. Seasons result: 11-2

Day 8:
Used the Poke flute radio on Snorlax and defeated it
Defeated Brock (19-0)
Defeated Blaine (20-0)
Defeated Blue using type effective moves on each of his Pokémon (21-0)
Grinded whole team to level 60
Defeated E4 and Lance again (26-0)
Defeated Red (27-0)

Sorry for the delay! I've been distracted by White 2~

Anywho.

MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
(Riley's notes on her epic journey of awesomeness. So epic and awesome, you can't even imagine.)
1. Went to talk to Elm after Ethan's Marill used me as a hiding place. Saw someone looking into the lab window. When I tried to talk to him, he shoved me. Jerk.
2.Got Totodile, named him Eric, and went off to talk to Mr. Pokemon. (Weird name. Weirder dude.)
2. Got an egg from Mr. Pokemon. (Got to go give this to Elm. Now. Before I scramble it and eat it.)
3. Ran into the red-haired jerk from earlier, kicked his butt, and saw his trainer card. Name's Adrian. He'd be cute if he weren't so stupid and mean.
4. I guess Adrian stole that Chikorita from Elm. So that's what he was doing! Jerk. I gave his name to the police and I will hunt him down and kick his butt again. And again. And again and again and again. The jerk.
5. Calm down, Riley.
6. So. Gave the egg to Elm. Ethan showed off - I know how pokeballs work, silly - and then gave me presents~
7. Used Ethan's presents to catch a sweet little Sentret. Named him Henry, then banished Eric to the PC for biting strange people's ankles. I told him not to since you never know where they've been.
8. Me and Henry went off to Violet City.
9. I challenged the Sprout Tower. It was full of old dudes with Bellsprout. Naturally, I kicked their butts.
10. Ran into Adrian at the top of the tower, but he got away before I could punch him in the nose. Note to self: don't let him get away next time.
11. Henry evolved! He's so adorable~
12. Challenged Falkner. Won!
13. Went through a cave, tripped over at least five Geodude, and got challenged by random trainers. My knees hurt...
14. Got to Azalea Town. Some weird dude calling himself a Team Rocket Grunt was standing in front of Slowpoke Well.
15. Accidentally went into Ilex Forest in the dark. I got... lost. Oops. But I caught an Oddish and named her Nova, so it's okay.
16. Got unlost and slept at the Pokemon Center.
17. Visited Kurt in the morning. Stupid old man went to go stop Team Rocket from doing whatever they were doing to the Slowpoke and hurt himself, so I had to go in there after him.
18. Found out what the Rockets are doing. They're CUTTING SLOWPOKE TAILS OFF. AND SELLING THEM. I hate them more than Adrian. And that's saying something.
19. Rescued a Slowpoke from the evil organization and named him Dopey since he's... well. Slow. And silly.
20. Battled a guy named Proton (...that's... you know what? Not even going there.) and kicked Team Rocket out of the well and Azalea Town.

Pictureless update. I just beat Burgh after spending a long time leveling up Timburr and Phanpy to evolve them. I barely beat Burgh. I used one item and only had Donphan left at the end. So I'm 3-0...another close call. I suck haha. I just added Swablu to my team so hopefully things will get better from here on out. I'll evolve Gurrdurr soon as well as Petilil and Swablu adds more to my team, though it'll be a long time before she evolves. So yeah. See ya after gym 4.

[TrollShammy80]

Ok i'm gonna have to back out of this challenge I was around gym 4 when the game froze and I lost my save states...I don't wanna go through ti all again thanks anyway. Being sick didn't help me much either

I went 4-0 (just took down Team Elesa and had finally gotten my 6th member the Cheerleader Roselia)
