The Wedlocke Challenge (Revisited)

Route 7: A male Zebstrika named Centaurus, but it killed Mensa.

I then paired Grus with Libra II, my HA Minccino. I got it to evolve into a Cinccino with a Shiny Stone.

Celestial Tower: A male Litwick named Fornax.

For Skyla, I used Grus who beat that Swoobat rather easily thanks to a strong STAB Return. Swanna and Sigilyph were downed in one 5-hit from Libra II's Rock Blast. For Skarmory, I paralyzed it with Libra II's Thunder Wave, caught it on Agility and Encored it into that. I crippled it with some Tickles.

I then went to Lentimas Town through Skyla's plane.

Reversal Mountain (outer): A male Vibrava named Musca. Also, this thing nearly killed both Pisces AND Andromeda.
Strange House: Nothing, ran into two Golbat, a Solosis and a Duosion.
Reversal Mountain (inner): A male Boldore named Sagitta.
Undella Town: Nothing, ran into a female Jellicent and three Frillish.
Undella Bay: A male Spheal named Capricrnus.
Route 6 Hidden Grotto: A female Woobat named Apus.
Mistralton Cave: A male Aron named Hercules.
Guidance Chamber: A male Axew named Draco.
Route 14: A female Mienfoo named Lepus

I beat Luke, he was pretty easy for Libra II and Grus. Not gonna comment on him.

Route 13: A male Absol named Crux.

However, an Ace Trainer on Route 13 had an Eelektrik that killed Pisces because it paralyzed me with Discharge. So I replaced him with Auriga, my Sandshrew. It evolved into a Sandslash quickly.

Route 12: A female Combee, which I killed. F*** COMBEE!!!
Village Bridge: A male Seviper named Serpens.
Route 11: A male Zangoose named Lupus.
Route 9: A female Pawniard named Corona.
Route 7's Hidden Grotto: A male Seviper named Serpens II.

While I was in the Opelucid Gym, Libra II died at the VERY LAST SECOND to a Veteran's Druddigon because of Rough Skin. They both died at the same time. I chose Hercules the Aron as its replacement.

For Drayden, Grus 2HKOed Druddigon with Return after some FeatherDance/Roost action. Hercules was holding the Air Balloon, so I was able to kill Flygon with Ice Punch. Altaria got horrifyingly shaky after Grus barely failed to OHKO it with Giga Impact and it used Cotton Guard, then he healed as I recharged. But I killed him with 11 HP remaining. Haxorus was a joke for Hercules since he had nothing neutral. I paralyzed him with Thunder Wave and he only used Dragon Dance twice.

After Team Plasma froze Opelucid City, I beat the grunts, then Zinzolin. His Cryogonal were quick OHKOs for Andromeda, then Auriga killed Weavile with a critical hit Rock Slide. After beating the Shadow Triad member, I went to Humilau City.

Route 13's Hidden Grotto: A female Foongus named Norma.
Route 22: A female Delibird named Columba.
Humilau City: A female Corsola named Puppis.
Giant Chasm (cave): A male Vanillish named Crater.

Marlon was nothing worth writing about. His Wailord was an OHKO with Circinus' Thunder, and Mantine died to a Discharge. Carracosta I used Lacerta's Leech Seed against, and I was still faster even after Shell Smash and killed him with Leaf Blade. Lastly, Jellicent was slammed in one Leaf Blade after a Leech Seed - from 7/8 HP - without a critical hit or any boosts. For a Serperior, that's rather odd.

After beating Marlon, I proceeded south.

Route 21: A female Alomomola named Vela.
Seaside Cave: A male Crustle named Pavo.

I got through the first part of the Plasma Frigate, beating as few of the grunts as possible, then beat Zinzolin alongside Luke with little trouble.

Before leaving for the Giant Chasm, I gave Heat Wave to Andromeda for use against Colress.

Giant Chasm: (entrance) A male Pelipper named Delphinus.
Route 13 Hidden Grotto: A female Spheal named Capri II.

As I went through the Plasma Frigate, I battled Colress. His Magneton was faster than Auriga, but I had a Sitrus Berry to restore some of my health. So after knocking him to 1 HP I had to get in Andromeda, who took a Flash Cannon well enough. After I killed it, Auriga 2HKOed Magneton, barely living. I knocked Beheeyem low, but he finished off Auriga. Then Andromeda killed it. For Klinklang, Heat Wave was a 2HKO, but he used Shift Gear and left me at 5 HP with Giga Impact. Then Metang MISSED with Rock Slide and two Heat Waves finished him.

So I chose Musca the Flygon as Auriga's replacement, and trained her up to Level 56. After rolling through the Shadow Triad, and the big climax stuff, Ghetsis tries to kill you, N saves you but White Kyurem is created, I went in. Andromeda 2HKOed Kyurem with Acrobatics after a Flying Gem, then it was time for Ghetsis.

Cofagrigus I managed to confuse with Confuse Ray, and Acrobatics actually did more than half and he hurt himself, so I killed that without a scratch. But then Eelektross came out. I thought it had Dragon Claw (although it didn't), so I stayed in. I used Confuse Ray and it hurt itself, and I used Toxic but he hit with Thunderbolt and I was low on health. After a Dragon Claw, he used Acrobatics and was knocked low, but he healed and Dragon Claw did less than half. I had a bit over 1/3 my health when he died. Then Hydreigon came out. Dragon Claw did good damage, but he killed me with Dragon Rush. He even got a critical hit just to rub it in my face. Andromeda finished him with Acrobatics. Then Seismitoad took well over half from Acrobatics, but killed Andromeda with Muddy Water. Grus finished him with Return. Toxicroak did around 1/4 with Sucker Punch before I killed him with Fly. Finally, Drapion I used FeatherDance against and 3HKOed with Return after some Roost stalling.

Once we were done with that and Ghetsis was gone, I replaced those two with Crux the Absol and Capri II the HA Spheal I had just caught. The only reason I wanted it was for Waterfall. I met with N at Victory Road's entrance and got Waterfall, which I slapped onto the Spheal. I went to the Abundant Shrine.

Abundant Shrine: A female Altaria named Antlia.
Route 23: A male Bouffalant named Taurus.

I trained up Crux, but Capri II died against a Zebstrika on Route 7, although I really didn't care much. I replaced her with Ara, the Sigilyph I got at the Desert Resort. Once everyone was Level 60/61, I entered Victory Road!

Victory Road: A male Roselia named Gemini.

However, Circinus died against a Veteran's Throh with Rock Slide, and Hercules died against Luke's Simipour because I MISSED with Rock Slide. Before that, I did attach a Persim Berry to counter Unfezant's Swagger, and used Rock Polish to get to +2 Attack and Speed. Grus was thankfully faster than Simipour, otherwise she would have died. Emboar was busted in one hit to Fly.

I chose Antlia the Altaria for Lacerta's new partner and Draco the Axew for Grus'. I trained everyone up to Level 63, applied Move Tutor moves and went in!

Shauntal was nothing worth mention of. Crux used Swords Dance, and Cofagrigus used Will-o-Wisp, but I had a Rawst Berry. From there on I swept her. Sucker Punch took care of Choice Scarf Chandelure.

Grimsley I started off with Grus' FeatherDance, and got his Liepard to -6 Attack. Then I stalled him out of Night Slashes with Detect and Roost, then brought in Draco. Despite his Attract being annoying, I got to +5 Attack and Speed and swept him from there, even with Krookodile's Intimidate lowering my Attack by one stage. I had Low Kick.

Marshal was a similar deal. Against Throh, I began with Lacerta's Leech Seed, then brought in Antlia. I had to keep using Dragon Dance to counteract Rock Tomb (which he didn't miss a single time with), and Cotton Guard. Once I had +6 Attack and Defense and +1 Speed, I went in for it and rammed through his team.

Lastly was Caitlin. I used Crux and Ara. I disabled Musharna's Hypnosis with Taunt, and killed her with Sucker Punch. Then was Reuniclus. I boosted to +6 (Special) Defense with Cosmic Power, and my Shadow Ball did less than half but her Leftovers actually brought her above the point where she would have healed. Sigilyph I killed with Crux's Sucker Punch. Next was Metagross. I used Ara's Cosmic Power, and she took Shadow Ball well enough. I used Heat Wave for more than half, and after another Shadow Ball she was knocked low from Life Orb recoil, then she healed and I 2HKOed her with two more shots of Heat Wave. Lastly, Gothitelle died in one hit to a (most likely unnecessary) critical hit Night Slash from Crux.

So we beat the Elite Four without losing anyone! Now for the Champion!

For Iris, Draco killed Hydreigon and Druddigon in one hit with Dragon Claw. For Lapras I went to Grus, and did more than half with Return, but Blizzard killed her in one hit. I killed her from there with Draco's Low Kick. Next was her own Haxorus, and Draco knocked her to her Focus Sash with Outrage, then she killed me with her Outrage. I brought in Crux and killed her with Sucker Punch (she couldn't heal because she was locked into Outrage). Then I killed Aggron with Superpower. Lastly was Archeops. I had to bring in Ara since Crux's stats were lowered...but she missed with Stone Edge! So I used Ice Beam and did BIG damage, then after she healed I paralyzed her with Thunder Wave, and took 64% or so from Stone Edge while I 2HKOed her with Ice Beam for the win.

Malva I swept in four turns with Hydride, my Greninja.

Drasna I used Kunzite, my Klefki, and set up some Calm Minds against Dragalge. I had to use Rest after I was paralyzed, but after three boosts I beat her in two hits of Dazzling Gleam (I barely failed to do so after two boosts). That took like five minutes haha. Noivern broke my sub with Flamethrower, but I killed that and Druddigon in one hit. Then Hydride killed Noivern with Ice Beam.

For Siebold, I used Electrum, my Lanturn. I stockpiled 3 against Clawitzer, used Charge then killed him with Discharge. Gyarados used Dragon Dance and lived my Discharge with 1 HP, but he healed and then I killed him next time. Barbaracle hardly did anything with Stone Edge, and Discharge did JUST over half and I paralyzed him then killed him. Starmie used Light Screen while I used Charge, then he used Psychic for hardly anything and I killed him with a critical hit.

Last was Wikstrom. His Klefki used Torment while Lapis, my Durant, used Hone Claws. He used Spikes as I burrowed before I killed him. Probopass I killed despite being almost dead (Power Gem hit harder than I thought it would!). When Aegislash came out, I forgot about Torment, and Iron Head didn't get the flinch, so he killed me. Electrum stockpiled 2, and because he was in Blade forme I killed him with two hits of Scald. Scizor, however, was faster and got a critical hit on the FIRST HIT, and Scald did less than half but the second hit burned him. He had no Full Restores left, so I finished him off.

So yeah, that was the first time in a Nuzlocke or Wedlocke that I lost a Pokémon before the Champion. But how will it work against the Champion? Let's find out!

Against the Champion, Diantha, I started with Zirconium, my Tentacruel. Hawlucha used Swords Dance while I counteracted with Barrier. Flying Press didn't do much at all while Ice Beam was a 2HKO. Aurorus I slaughtered with Brick Break from Tourmaline (my Medicham). Gourgeist I used Barrier against and she used Trick-or-Treat, and Ice Beam did more than half. I was hit slightly hard with Phantom Force, but I still killed her. Tyrantrum I did more than half to with Ice Beam, but I froze her solid! :o Then for Goodra I poisoned her with Poison Jab and eventually killed her while her Dragon Pulses did less than 1/4. Finally, Gardevoir was busted with one Poison Jab from Tourmaline for the win.

Lastly was AZ, who i'm not gonna comment on. Zirconium took care of him. Sigilyph was slower and only used Cosmic Power.

So I started the game, named myself Alex and my rival Silver. My ID No. was 42810, meaning I got my choice of starter. I picked Cyndaquil and named it Bagpipes. My naming theme is musical instruments.

Encounters:
Route 29: A female Sentret named Accordion who was immediately paired with Bagpipes.
Route 46: A male Spearow named Horn.
Route 30: A female Pidgey named Xylophone who was immediately paired with Horn.
Dark Cave: A female Geodude named Steelpan.
Route 31: A male Caterpie named Handbell who was immediately paired with Steelpan.
Route 32: A female Rattata named Recorder.
Sprout Tower: A male Gastly named Organ.

After some training and getting some evolutions, Falkner was easy. Steelpan used Rock Throw on both his Pokémon, and his Pidgeotto didn't use Roost.

Union Cave: A female Sandshrew named Trombone.
Route 33: A female Zubat named Clapsticks.
Ilex Forest: A female Oddish named Alboka.
I skipped Slowpoke's Well (read: used Repels there) so I could come back once I had Surf. I got Team Rocket out of there pretty easily.

Bugsy was a joke too. Scyther was downed in one Rock Throw from Steelpan, then it hit Metapod hard and I brought in Handbell to kill it and Kakuna.

Silver was also anticlimactic. Handbell paralyzed his Croconaw and all he did was use Scary Face, and by the time he was attacking it was too late. Steelpan beat his other two steadily. Then I got Pokérus, which was crazy. But with that I went through Ilex Forest.

Route 34: A male Drowzee named Tuba.

Afterward, I arrived in Goldenrod City and left it off there.

None yet! :)

While I was training, I found out I had Pokérus! Which was pretty cool if I say so myself. Then I had to fight Silver. His Croconaw was the only thing of any importance, and all he did was use Scary Face and get fully paralyzed from Handbell, until his Bite didn't do very much at all. Steelpan beat his other two easily.

Then I went through the Ilex Forest into Route 34.

Encounters:
Route 34 - A male Drowzee named Tuba.
Route 35 - A female Nidoran named Triangle.
Bug-Catching Contest - A female Weedle, which I killed on purpose.
Route 36 - A male Growlithe named Bassoon.

I spent time at the Game Corner to get lots of coins, and I got a Flamethrower TM for Bagpipes which I gave him. When the time came for Whitney, I had a Silver Wind TM from the Lottery, so Handbell made easy work of Clefairy then Miltank was beaten by Steelpan without much trouble at all. Then I got the Berry Pots.

Route 37 - A Stantler, but I ran from it because I had weakened it, it was breaking free of my Poké Balls, both Steelpan and Handbell were asleep, and Handbell was almost dead because of a critical hit Stomp.
Route 38 - A Miltank named Conga.
Burned Tower - Skipped my encounter with Repels so I could come back in the post-game with the Sinnoh Sound.

I had to battle Silver, but he was a joke because all his Croconaw did to Accordion was Scary Face, and Bagpipes razed his other three with Flamethrower. But on Route 39, Xylophone died against a Psychic's Slowpoke because it Cursed to +5 and I just barely failed to kill it with Gust. Thankfully Horn finished it off.

Route 39 - A male Pineco named Maracas.

After arriving in Olivine, I chose Trombone, my Sandshrew, as Xylophone's replacement. I then had some training to do, and got everyone to Level 22.

Once I entered the Ecruteak Gym, Bagpipes barreled through every single trainer. He OHKO'd all their Pokémon with Flamethrower or Flame Wheel thanks to the Charcoal boost. He gained three levels on the way to Morty, haha.

Morty was no different. Bagpipes OHKO'd all his Pokémon, except Gengar who I had Accordion stall out of Sucker Punches then keep using Shadow Claw.

With that I got my fourth badge, and now I can use Surf.

(F) "Accordion", Level 4-19
Obtained at: Route 30
Cause of death: OHKO'ed by +5 Headbutt from Psychic Nelson's Slowpoke.

♦ Started the game, chose the female character and named her Leaf. Picked Squirtle as my starter, and named him Tortank.
♦ Beat my rival and delivered Oak's Parcel to him. Then, I was off on my adventure!
♦ Tortank's partner turned out to be a Pidgey, from Route 1. Named her Talontrap.
♦ First encounter on Route 22 was a female Rattata, named Rat-A-Tap. Paired her with Stingy the male Weedle from Route 2.
♦ Trained all of them up to Lv 10 (making Weedle a Beedrill), and then took on my rival on Route 22. Tortank handled his Pidgey, and Talontrap took out his Bulbasaur.
♦ My encounter in Viridian Forest was a female Metapod, named Deandra. Since she only knew Harden, and didn't have a partner yet, I held off on using her.
♦ Made my way out of the forest, and challenged Brock. Tortank OHKO'd all of his Pokémon with Water Gun.
♦ On Route 3, Tortank evolved into Wartortle. My encounter for the Route was a male Spearow, whom I named Roweno and then paired with Deandra.
♦ Before continuing through Mt. Moon, I trained everyone up to Lv 15, causing Deandra to become a Butterfree.
♦ Trekked through Mt. Moon, and caught a female Sandshrew as my first encounter on Route 4 just outside. Named her Swine.
♦ Decided to train up Tortank and Talontrap to Lv 20 before facing my rival, giving me a Pidgeotto. He was taken down easily after that.
♦ Defeated the trainers and Rocket grunt on Nugget Bridge, and encountered a female Bellsprout on Route 24. Named it Donnabella.
♦ Continued through Route 25 to Bill's house. I decided to not capture anything, since the only Pokémon on the Route I haven't previously caught is Abra, and I don't feel like risking that. Therefore, I'll wait until I'm better prepared, or when I have Surf/a rod for the water area.
♦ Anyway, got the S.S. Ticket from Bill, and then took on the gym after getting everyone up to Lv 20. This caused Rat-A-Tap and Roweno to evolve.
♦ Once again, Tortank and Talontrap were the duo to take down Misty.
♦ Beat the Rocket grunt outside one of the houses, and then moved along to Vermillion City. On Route 5 I encountered a female Meowth, whom I named Qash Queen, and on Route 6 I decided to skip the grass and save that area for fishing/surfing.
♦ In Diglett's Cave, I caught a female Diglett named D-Dawg.
♦ My encounter for Route 11 was a male Drowzee, whom I named Hipnez.
♦ In a battle between Rat-A-Tap and a Magnemite, Rat-A-Tap sadly passed away due to a lethal parafusion + SonicBoom combo. Stingy avenged her, and was paired with D-Dawg.
♦ Trained Diglett up to Lv 21, and then boarded the S.S. Anne. D-Dawg eventually evolved, and was able to take down my rival with her partner Stingy.
♦ D-Dawg then swept the Vermillion Gym.
♦ Oak's aide adviced me to go through Rock Tunnel, so I made my way there. On Route 9 I didn't catch anything, since I already had everything that route had to offer. However, Deandra died from a Geodude's Rock Throw, due to me forgetting I had placed this pair in the lead. Roweno was able to take it down with Pursuit, and then I paired him with Donnabella to ensure that no such terrible events from a Geodude may ever occur again.
♦ Donnabella evolved while training, and then I skipped my encounter on Route 10 for the time being. In Rock Tunnel, I encountered a female Geodude, whom I named HeadnBldrs (supposed to be Head and Boulders).
♦ Donnabella and Roweno got through half of Rock Tunnel, and Tortank and Talontrap got through the rest.
♦ From Lavender Town, I went west to Route 8 to encounter something. Turned out to be a female Vulpix, but I was unable to catch it due to it using Roar.
♦ Beat the trainers on the route, and made it to Celadon City. Decided to not catch anything on Route 7 just yet.
♦ Went to the Game Corner and fought a bunch of Rockets in their hideout. Towards the end, a Koffing's Selfdestruct was the end for Stingy. D-Dawg fought bravely for him, and was later partnered with Hipnez after having pulled of a victory. Trained him up, and evolved him into Hypno.
♦ Defeated Giovanni using Roweno and Donnabella. Acquired the Silph Scope.
♦ Went and grabbed the Eevee (my encounter for Celadon), who was male and whom I named Speed Star.
♦ Challenged the gym before moving on. It was mostly taken care of by Roweno.
♦ Returned to Lavender after having received my badge, and took on my rival using the same old pair: Tortank and Talontrap.
♦ In the tower, I encountered a female Gastly. However, it used Curse after I had weakened it, causing it to faint.
♦ Once at the top, Talontrap met her fate in the same way as Stingy; Selfdestruct from a Koffing. Tortank took care of the rest, and was then partnered with Qash Queen.
♦ Received the Poké Flute from Mr. Fuji.
♦ Flew back to Cerulean to train Qash Queen up there, since she was only Lv 10.
♦ Currently saved there.

♦ Trained up Qash Queen to be on par with the rest of my Pokémon, which means she evolved during the process.
♦ Went to Route 16 to catch Snorlax and move onto Fuchsia, but the Snorlax ended up killing both Roweno and Donnabella with critical hits. When Tortank almost went down as well, I decided to run away from it.
♦ Speed Star and HeadnBldrs formed a new pair. I trained them up, evolved Speed Star into Jolteon and HeadnBldrs into Graveler, and got the Thunderbolt TM for Speed Star.
♦ On Cycling Road, Hipnez went down after being unable to land a move due to SmokeScreen from a Weezing. He was also poisoned. D-Dawg avenged him. Since Ultra Balls were available for purchase, I bought some and then backtracked to Route 25, where I caught a male Abra named Karl-10. He became D-Dawg's new partner.
♦ I also went to Route 7, where my encounter was a female Vulpix, that I named Hotshot.
♦ However, while trying to train up Karl-10 on Route 16 using the switch-in-and-out method, a Doduo used Pursuit, causing him to faint. D-Dawg got her revenge.
♦ Went back to Route 6 and caught a male Poliwag named Poppilol, who became D-Dawg's new partner.
♦ Trained Poppilol up, evolving it twice, and then continued my adventure on Cycling Road.
♦ Caught a male Doduo there, named Triniwi.
♦ I used Speed Star and HeadnBldrs for the rest of the trainers, but Speed Star was unable to OHKO a Machamp, and fainted after it had used Revenge. HeadnBldrs finished it off, and was then paired with Triniwi.
♦ Trained it up to Lv 31, causing it to evolve.
♦ Once I was actually able to go through Cycling Road without any deaths, I arrived in Fuchsia City.
♦ Checked out the Safari Zone immediately. In the Center Area, my encounter was a female Rhyhorn, whom I named Banhammer. Area 1 gave me a female Exeggcute named Palmerina, and Area 2 gave me a male Goldeen named Golddigger. Lastly, Area 3 gave me a male Venonat, named Malila.
♦ Since I wasn't feeling too confident about taking Koga on immediately, I decided to train some more on the Routes 12-15, going in backwards order. I didn't bother in catching anything on Route 15 and 14, since I already had or used to have those Pokémon. Tortank evolved here, too.
♦ Before catching anything on Route 13, I went to Route 12 and obtained the Super Rod. In doing so, however, I engaged in a battle with a trainer who had a Voltorb. The Voltorb used Selfdestruct and got a critical hit, causing Qash Queen to faint. I decided to make Hotshot the new partner for Tortank.
♦ With the Super Rod, I caught a male Krabby on Route 13, named King Klo.
♦ Since Hotshot was rather weak, I decided to train her up by rematching some trainers on Route 15. This turned out to backfire though, since one trainer in particular used different spore/powder moves with her Bulbasaur and Ivysaur, and succeeded in getting critical hits with Razor Leaf. Hotshot was therefore done for, and Tortank had a close call himself.
♦ Palmerina became Tortank's new partner. I trained her up in Pokémon Tower, partly to invest in Sp. Atk EV's from Gastly, and also because Confusion was enough to OHKO them.
♦ It took a really long time to get her up to the rest of my Pokémon (they were all around Lv 40), but once I was done, I used Palmerina to catch the Snorlax on Route 12. Named him Snoozefest.
♦ Finally felt secure enough to tackle Koga, which D-Dawg and Poppilol had to do. It was really close, his Pokémon using SmokeScreen and poisoning with Sludge almost killed them both, but I came out victorious.
♦ Gave the Tea to the guard, and made my way into Saffron City. Went straight for the Fighting Dojo, where Tortank and Palmerina battled through to the end. I didn't pick up any of the Pokémon in the Dojo, because I thought it would count as my encounter for Saffron, and I'd rather have Lapras.
♦ Consequently, I raided the Silph Co. building, defeating my rival and Giovanni in the process. I also picked up the Lapras, which turned out to be female. I named her Vanessa.
♦ As it turned out, Lapras' place of encounter was Silph Co., and not Saffron. Therefore, I went back and picked up the Hitmonchan in the Dojo. It counted as my encounter for Saffron. It was male, and I named it Neko-Chan.
♦ Again, battling Sabrina was something I didn't feel too good about, so I decided to do some Surf stuff in the meantime.
♦ Firstly, I caught a female Slowpoke in Fuchsia City, named Cestry.
♦ Remembered that there was a Surf spot in Viridian City, but I already owned everything there. However, there is an in-game trade in which you trade away a Slowbro for a Lickitung, so I caught a new Slowpoke just for that sole reason. It was female, and I simply named it Trade.
♦ Went back to Route 10, where I caught a male Magikarp named Megakarp.
♦ Continued towards the Power Plant, caught a male Pikachu named Racie, defeated some Pokémon for EXP, collected some items and then made it out.
♦ Since there wasn't much left to do, I rebattled some trainers with Triniwi and HeadnBldrs. I also used an evo editor, allowing me to evolve HeadnBldrs into Golem.
♦ Challenged the gym with Triniwi and HeadnBldrs.
♦ They handled it really well, and was able to take down Sabrina fairly easily.
♦ Before Surfing to Cinnabar, I went to Route 19 from Fuchsia City. I encountered a male Tentacool that I named Chironex, and then battled the trainers on the Route.
♦ Eventually made it to Seafoam Islands, where I caught a male Seel named Taylor.
♦ Flew to Pallet Town and started surfing downwards on Route 21. My encounter for the area was a female Tangela named Vine.
♦ Battled the trainers and evolved Palmerina into Exeggutor, since it had learned SolarBeam at Lv 43.
♦ Eventually made it to Cinnabar, where I resurrected Omanyte from the fossil I picked up in Mt. Moon. It was female, and I named it Spinwave.
♦ Due to the gym being closed, I had to retrieve the key from the Pokémon Mansion. Since it would be good training for D-Dawg and Poppilol, I just barged right in and completely forgot that I could catch something there. Owing to this, I did not get an encounter here.
♦ What I did get, however, was a death - D-Dawg's Magnitude got a low roll, causing a wild Raticate to survive and then kill D-Dawg off. Poppilol got his revenge, and was then partnered with the female Slowpoke I was supposed to trade away. My encounter for Route 18 was therefore a Lickitung, but it turned out to be male (and called Marc), so I couldn't pair it wih Poppilol. I brought in Banhammer instead.
♦ Searched the mansion and found the key, which I then used to enter the gym. Poppilol had to do all of the work, since Banhammer was too weak. Blaine did not put up a fight, though.
♦ After the battle, Bill asked me to help him out on the islands. I traveled there, and caught a female Ponyta named Asha on Kindle Road. On Mt. Ember, I caught a male Magmar named Gunther.
♦ I was training up Banhammer along the way, but she took a turn for the worse when she was unable to flee from a Tentacool. It used BubbleBeam, which had fatal effects. Poppilol avenged her.
♦ I went back to the PokéCenter to find a new partner for Poppilol, but the PC services were down. Instead, I went to Cape Brink on Two Island, and caught a female Poliwhirl. I named it Trade, as another in-game trade requires your Poliwhirl for their Jynx.
♦ I delivered the Meteorite I had obtained from Bill to the guy on Two Island, and then went to Three Island to take care of the biker dudes.
♦ Said and done, and then I went looking for Lostelle in Berry Forest. I took down the Hypno, and then my quest on these islands were done for the time being.
♦ Took the ferry back to Cinnabar, where I obtained a Tri-Pass from Bill.
♦ Then, I paired Poppilol with Trade, and went to Cerulean to obtain the Jynx. It was nicknamed Zynx.
♦ Currently trying to train up Zynx before moving on.

♦ Trained up Zynx against Gastlys. When doing so, I encountered a shiny one! And then I killed it, because it's absolutely needless in this case.
♦ When training was done, I battled the trainers I had missed on Route 20.
♦ The only gym remaining was now the one in Viridian City. I went there, and battled all the trainers for a chunk of Exp.
♦ I used Tortank and Palmerina against Giovanni, who went down very easily. I acquired the badge as well as the Earthquake TM, and then made my way west, to the Pokémon League.
♦ When doing so, my rival challenged me to a battle. I used Triniwi and HeadnBldrs against him. He was quite difficult, but I managed to beat him.
♦ On Route 23 (the badge check gate), I encountered a female Mankey. Named her MonkeyKong.
♦ Victory Road was up ahead, and it proved to be somewhat of a hassle. One trainer in particular ended up killing both Triniwi and HeadnBldrs with his Cloyster. Palmerina had to finish the job.
♦ I exited immediately, in order to find a new pair.
♦ Eventually decided on Marc and the newly caught MonkeyKong. Since they were quite low-levelled, I had to train them up a lot before being able to continue. MonkeyKong evolved in the process.
♦ With my new pair, I entered Victory Road once again, and made it out safely this time.
♦ At the Pokémon Center, I healed up, bought new items, gave some items to my Pokémon and finalized their movesets before going in.

♦ First up was Lorelei, against whom I used Zynx and Poppilol. Or more accurately, only Zynx. She set up a few Calm Minds against Lorelei's Dewgong, and from there, I could sweep with Psychic and Ice Punch. The only Pokémon of hers to put up a fight was her own Jynx, who used Lovely Kiss and made Zynx fall asleep. The Poké Flute quickly awakened her though, allowing me to finish it off.

♦ Bruno was up next. I used Tortank and Palmerina for this battle. I could easily use Surf or Confusion on his Pokémon and make them faint fairly easily, but some Pokémon required a Sleep Powder/Leech Seed combo, Machamp being one of them. It managed to use Bulk Up once, making it pretty fatal with Cross Chop. After it was put to sleep and seeded, however, it went down fairly easily thanks to Confusion.

♦ In the third battle, against Agatha, I decided to try out the new pair - Marc and MonkeyKong. It turned out to work out very well in my favor. Her first Gengar was supposed to be an annoyer, with Toxic, Confuse Ray and Double Team. Despite all these moves, Marc was able to counter it. I had Shock Wave for Double Team and its ability Own Tempo prevented confusion. Poison was the only thing I couldn't fend off as easily. Her Golbat also went down to Shock Wave, although it dealt a lot of damage with its high crit ratio moves. Arbok was Earthquaked twice by MonkeyKong, and her Haunter couldn't touch her, either. Vital Spirit prevented sleep, so Dream Eater didn't work, either. I did have to switch in to Marc, who brought it down with a Flamethrower after it had used Curse once. Her other Gengar went down to Marc as well.

♦ Lance was somewhat tedious to take down. I used Tortank and Palmerina. Tortank VS Gyarados turned into a flinchfest, as I had to resort to using Bite due to the Intimidate. Palmerina took down his two Dragonair by using Leech Seed and Confusion, and then Tortank defeated Aerodactyl by using Surf. His Dragonair did go down to two Ice Beams, but it really packed a punch with Outrage, causing me to heal often.

♦ Lastly, the Champion, my rival. Again, I used Tortank and Palmerina for this battle. His Pidgeot was easily brought down by Tortank's Ice Beams, and then he wanted to send out Venusaur. Palmerina had to handle it, using Sleep Powder and Confusion. It was fairly annoying though, waking up and using Sunny Day + Synthesis. It eventually went down, though. Gyarados was his next Pokémon, and I decided to stay in, in order to take advantage of the sun and use SolarBeam without having to charge it up. This, however, failed, as the sun faded just on that turn. I still used SolarBeam against it, and when it was at red health my rival tried something very smart; he predicted another SolarBeam, switching into his Arcanine, basically hoping for a free Flamethrower right to the face. On the contrary, I used Confusion, causing his plan to fail. I switched out to Tortank, who killed it off easily. Next up was Alakazam. I tried leaving Tortank in, but his attacks weren't doing enough to it. Owing to this, I switched out into Palmerina, hoping to pull off the usual strategy. It worked out in a rather good manner. I did receive one Sp. Def drop from Alakazam's Psychic, and when he wanted to send out his Gyarados again, I didn't wanna risk dying due to Bite or something. Therefore, I switched out into Blastoise. Gyarados could only use Dragon Rage and Thrash, attacks that Tortank completely walled, but I couldn't deal much damage myself. It eventually went down, and the last Pokémon - Rhydon - fainted instantly to a Surf. Thereby, I was crowned the Champion!

Alright, so let's start with the encounters I obtained.

Ecruteak City - A male Poliwag named Rainstick.
Ruins of Alph - A female Quagsire named Marimba.
Slowpoke Well - A male Slowpoke named Panflute.

I scaled the Lighthouse and found Jasmine, then got Steelpan to evolve into Graveler and then traded her to evolve into Golem. I also got the Eevee from Bill, which was female (!!) and named her Clavinet.

Mt. Mortar - A male Machop named Drums. Then I made it into Mahogany Town.
Route 43 - A female Mareep named Guitar.
Lake of Rage - I caught the Red Gyarados, which was male, and named him Keyboard.

I then traded the Red Scale to Mr. Pokémon and got the Exp. Share for it.

Cherrygrove City - A female Hoothoot named Piccolo.
Route 40 - A female Tentacool named Saxophone.
Olivine City - A male Corsola named Fiddle.

Then I went through the Team Rocket HQ, which was no problem at all. I also caught a female Koffing there named Melodica. Then I went to Cianwood City, where I got a female Krabby named Clapper, and beat Eusine without much trouble.

Chuck, on the other hand, was a massacre. His Primeape used Double Team to the max and killed Trombone, but not without doing over half with a critical hit Shadow Claw, then Horn killed it. And because of his Poliwrath's stupid Sitrus Berry, he killed Horn with a critical hit Body Slam right before I would have finished it off, then he healed and Handbell died on the same point, but not without me paralyzing him. Steelpan got in some Magnitude, but I barely finished him with Accordion after he was fully paralyzed.

So I chose Marimba the Quagsire and Maracas the Pineco, and Tuba the Drowzee and Saxophone the Tentacool as my replacements. Jasmine was no problem at all for Bagpipes with Choice Specs Flamethrower.

I went to Route 47, where my encounter was a female Seel named Sousaphone. At the Cliff Cave I got five duplicates, so nothing there. For Route 48, I got a Farfetch'd, which I passed up catching because it refused to be caught and used Swords Dance, which was scary. At the Safari Zone Gate, I caught a female Exeggcute named Piano.

At the Safari Zone, all I got was a male Lickitung named Mandolin. Then when I got to training, Maracas and Tuba evolved into Forretress and Hypno respectively, but Saxophone died to a critical hit from a WILD GOLDEEN of all things, from Flail at 30% after I was hit with confusion damage and around half. That frustrated me to the maximum.

So I chose Piccolo the Hoothoot as her replacement, and slapped Fly on her right away. I got her to evolve into Noctowl with the Exp. Share, and then took on the Mahogany Gym. Pryce required some strategy. Seel wasn't too bad, Piloswine I had to get crafty against and use Maracas' Light Screen, but after putting him to sleep I killed him with a critical hit Surf from Marimba. Dewgong, however, was so tedious, it took me 14 minutes to kill because I didn't know he had Rest and Sleep Talk. But I had Rest, so I was able to barely beat him to the punch with some luck. If I tried to type out the battle, i'd be here all day. But it worked.

Then I got word that Team Rocket has invaded the Radio Tower, which i'll take care of later.
