Ultimate Monotype Challenge Thread

I headed north, up the bridge, battling trainer upon trainer, until I reached the top. At this, a Rocket Grunt stood at the top. Deca got into battle position, ready to strike at the first sign of danger, but none came. Instead, he asked if I wanted to join Team Rocket! I declined, and he said that I 'needed persuading'. Deca showed his Pokémon that I'd rather go down fighting rather than join Team Rocket, but he ran crying far before that happened. After heading east, and battling even more trainers, I came across a lone house. The door was wide open, but no-one inside.

"Hey'a!"

I wasn't entirely sure where the voice came from, as no people were in the building.

"Can I get some help here?"

I turned to the voice, to see a talking Clefairy… Wait, talking Clefairy!? It turns out, that it was actually Bill, who had been turned into a Pokémon. He stepped inside some kind of machine, and waited for me to press the button in the outside. I did, and the machine turned this Clefairy back into Bill, the famous Pokébox creator. As thanks, he gave me a ticket to ride the S.S. Anne, a famous cruise liner at Vermillion Port.

I headed out, and down to Celadon Gym. It would be a good idea to face it now rather than later.



This really wasn't much of a challenge. A StunSpore worked well enough to weaken the Staryu, and then a repetition of BulletSeed managed to take out the Water-type without Phiona taking too much damage herself.



I grabbed the Cascade badge, and darted down to Vermillion, with little happening, other than fighting someone else with a Butterfree, which was interesting. Vermillion had some interesting features; the main one being the S.S. Anne, which I quickly boarded, and took a room. Many of the trainers on-board were looking for a fight, which I accepted, and trained.

I had heard the Captain was giving away the CutHM, but I had one last challenger. Ike.



It seems that Deca doesn't have a lot of luck when it comes to fighting Ike. He managed to weaken the Pidgeotto to just over half health with a FuryAttack, but was then beaten by a barrage of Gust and Sand-Attack. Not a pleasant way to go…


She ended this quickly, with a SleepPowder, and then Confusion.


Due to Scarlet being roughly seven levels higher, this really wasn't a difficult challenge. Although Raticate's use of QuickAttack bugged me, a Confusion or two managed to bring down that crazy Rat-Pokemon.


I bet you've guessed what I tried this time in order to beat his Water-type? Yep, StunSpore, and then BulletSeed until the foe has faltered. This worked just as well as I had hoped, and it slammed through the Wartortle's defences, and levelled Phiona up enough to level 24, which meant that she would evolve after the battle.


This was a little more frustrating than I had first hoped. Confusion did little to no damage, and Tackle wasn't much more effective. Although I did do some drastic stalling with SleepPowder, and that allowed Scarlet to reel off enough Tackles to bring that darn Psychic-type to the ground.


Just as I had guessed, Phiona did evolve into a Parasect. I headed up to the captains deck, after beating Ike to the dust. All that was there was a sea-sick old man, but he seemed to cheer up a little after seeing a new face. He apologised for not being in a great condition, and gave me the CutHM, which cheered me up too.

I soon left the S.S. Anne, and within minutes of leaving, the boat set off. I did some tough training, readying myself for the next gym, which specialised in Electric-types. I used the CutHM to smash through the tree blocking the entrance, and fought some of the apprentices at the gym in order to get a feel for fighting electric-types. It was only a matter of time, before the Gym Leader and I were fighting head-to-head.



Voltorb was fast, much faster than Deca, which is a success in itself. Deca managed to use TwinNeedle to poison the Voltorb, and then reel off FuryAttack. While the Electric-type tried to fend off the foe with Screech, and Shockwave, it could not beat the sheer power of Deca's FocusEnergy, FuryAttack combination.


This battle wasn't difficult, but it was the single most frustrating battle I have ever been in. Phiona started with Dig, hoping that it would strike out Pikachu without it being able to fight back. Pikachu used DoubleTeam, twice, causing Dig to miss. I tried Dig once more, which was led by the same result, again, and again, and again. Seriously, it lasted for an eternity, and seemed like it would never end. By a stroke of luck, Dig struck, knocking out Pikachu.


I thought that this would be a similar situation, but TwinNeedle struck quickly, poisoning the Raichu. This continued, with TwinNeedle slamming into ShockWave, neither side gaining an edge, other than the continuous poison which sapped Raichu's health, giving Deca enough time to make a final FuryAttack, winning the match.


So here I am. Outside the Gym, and planning to head back to Cerulean, and go west, travelling through Dark Cave and arriving at Lavender Town.

* Dewgong vs. Atlan!
After a little Razor Leaf - Aurora Beam exchange, Atlan managed to take it down.
* Cloyster vs. Atlan!

* Slowbro vs. Atlan!
Slowbro wanted to forget things too hard, so it was just Razor Leaf spamming against its Amnesia.
* Jynx vs. Atlan!
Jynx KOd with an Ice Beam.
* Jynx vs. Therion!
Therion missed a Rock Slide, giving Jyxn the edge she needed to OHKO with a critical Psychic.
* Jynx vs Kali!
Kali KOd with a well placed Double Kick.
* Lapras vs. Kali!
Kali started with a Thunderbolt, not managing to defeat the Lapras, who counter attacked with a Blizzard, leaving Kali fainted.
HentaiDude took over, and Wrapped Lapras into oblivion. (Wrap was sooooooooo hax in gen1 xD)

Nothing of notice, here... The Onix were OHKOd by Kali's Ice Beam, and the fighting types were OHKOd by Mind Fart's Psychic

Nothing to see here either. OHKOs everywhere by Therion's Earthquake, sans Golbat, who was 2HKOd by Kali's Ice Beam

* Kali vs. Gyarados!
Kali started with an Ice Beam (Yay for choosing the wrong attack), Gyarados retaliated by missing a Hyper Beam. Kali then KOd with Thunderbolt.
* Kali vs. Dragonair!
Kali managed to launch an Ice Beam, before being hit by a Hyper Beam straight to the face. Used the recharge turn to use a Max Potion, and switched to Mind Fart predicting another Hyper Beam (since I ran out of Ice Beam PP, I went to the Victory Road to finish raising Kali to level 50, and forgot to heal).
Turns out the attack was a Thunder Wave, which I used to Ether Kali's Ice Beam. Mind Fart didn't seem to care much, since he blasted a Psychic to that Dragonair's face the next turn, KOing it.
* Mind Fart vs. Dragonair!
Dragonair started with a Thunder Wave, but I was already paralyzed. Mind Fart put it so sleep with Hypnosis, and I took the chance to switch again to Kali, who 2HKO'd it with Ice Beam.
* Kali vs. Aerodactyl!
OHKO with Ice Beam. Nothing to see here.
* Kali vs. Dragonite!
Kali used Ice Beam, taking a chunk of Dragonite's health. Then, she received a Blizzard to the face, being knocked out.
Mind Fart took over, but I used the first turn to use a Full Heal. Dragonite, then, wasted that Hyper Beaming. I used the recharge turn to give Kali a Revive, and then decided to Explode, just because, taking out Dragonite.

Anti-climatic battle ensued.
