3rd Generation Solo Run!

[Westie7]

And I see nothing wrong with catching Absol at level 2. I packed 'Kip up the moment I got Yuki, and from there the Yukester has been my only fighter. Pretty legit in my book. :)

I know there's nothing wrong. I was just wondering. It's as legit as the way I do it.

[Syrynn]

tl;dr proof lolz!

Sorry, but it still doesn't really excuse the fact that you started Absol at lv.30, so I say no posting. Also, save states go completely against the rules iirc.

An update:
Absol is good. Holy cannoli, he is good.

Spoiler:

So last we left off, Yuki had just added Aerial Ace to his movelist in the Fortree Gym.

The last piece of his moveset is in place; thanks Winona. <3

Slaughtered innocent trainers and stuff on the way to Lilycove, careful to both have my HM slaves and not get into double battles.

Deposited the slaves and beat the living tar out of May. She gave up on life and went home to cry to Daddy.

Bugged the Magma goons in the hideout. They told me to go bug Maxie up at Mt. Pyre.

I went there, but I duh'd again and forgot I needed to surf to the mountain. So I grabbed 'Kip for the HM.

Ascended Pyre with no trouble and kicked Magma's tails, but they made me look and I lost track and the blue orb.

I took the red orb and blew their hideout out of the water in revenge, but then they went to Slateport and stole the submarine (worms :().

So I surfed on down to Mossdeep to harass the gym leaders (yes, leaders, this plays a role).

Easy to get through the gym. So easy, in fact, that I forgot that there were two leaders requiring a double battle! So... I had to do it legit, meaning I take my level 6 'Kip in as a decoy slave and he gets wiped out turn 1. No action or exp, meaning he's not a fighter. Meaning I'm still legally doing a solo run.

Solrock and Lunatone were pansies. Holy mother of mothers; two Bites to each and they were gone. Tate and Liza wept like willows and I had my seventh badge. I bugged that one bro for the Dive HM and gave it to 'Kip. I seem to be running out of move space for him to slave me.

So the Magma jerks hole up in a secret cave underwater and I go harass them and run them out. But then that idiot Maxie throws the Blue Orb and Groudon awakes and nearly kills everyone with super-sun powers. Guess I have to stop him. *puts on sunglasses*

So I search around forever with my HM slaves and finally get to Sootopolis. I heal up and take my slaves to the cave up top where Wallace tells me I'm the world's only hope or something (no mess, eh bro?).

I run the cave dry and get to Groudon. Two bites to put him into the red. I go for the catch, and I get him with my second Ultra Ball. Lucky, because I didn't feel like dinking around and playing the rotten game with him. Turns out he's the last HM slave I need to free 'Kip for the Waterfall HM.

I go to Wallace's gym and deliberately miss the puzzles to beat up his trainers on the basement level, then go back up, get them right, and go fight him.

Luvdisc, Sealeo, Whiscash, and Seaking all go down without a whimper. A pair of bites on Whiscash and some Shock Waves for the others make them cry uncle all too soon. Milotic, I was bracing for an epic battle to the death. I was disappointed.

It just took a few lucky Shock Waves to go critical, and although I went red, it was anticlimactic because I was just too fast and shocking for Wallace overall. After my win, I went to Lilycove, and arranged my HM slaves for the final push...

So far I have:

Yuki (lv.65) @BlackGlasses
Bite
Shockwave
Slash
Aerial Ace

HM slaves Taillow, Nincada, Mudkip, Groudon

8 badges

Lots of wins and money

A ton of confidence and swagger ^^

 

[Syrynn]

and where, exactly, is this rule stated?

Not really a literal rule, but more of a principle of "fair play" as far as battles go. If you lose, then you lose. You shouldn't get a "reset state" button. End of story. Meh. *shrug*

Spoiler:

Secret update:

Been doing the trick house the whole time, and just got level 7 done, so I got my PP Max and used it on Aerial Ace. That's my go-to. I play the "I'm super-accurate and over-leveled, so you're gonna lose" style of soloing. <3

Traveled off to Evergrande South, and saved just outside of Victory Road with all my HM slaves. Time to begin the end!

No but seriously, I still don't think you deserve to be listed. Even the Lv.30 incident is enough to condemn the run. Honk if you agree. :)

 

[sc13]

-Beat Flarnnery
-Beat Norman
-Beat Brendan
-Beat Winona

 

[Firebreathing Ice Cube]

Ok, two days into the challenge, I have an update!

Currently I am at the route where the Weather Institute is (forgot the route number :P). I just beat Wattson, Flannery and Norman with surprising ease.

- Wattson just threw Thunder Waves, and Slythering just Shed Skinned it. Shed Skin's so cool :>

- Flannery wasn't as hard as I expected it. Slythering was at Lv. 42 already so everything fell easily... until Torkoal showed up. Friggin' tank just absorbed all damage, and Flannery used Hyper Potion to irritate me further. Thankfully, Poison Fang badly poisoned the turtle, and a few Screeches and Poison Fangs later, the turtle went down.

- Norman was a pushover. Everything went down in one hit except Slaking. It recevied double Screech, then went down in one hit.

I'm starting to love Seviper :D

SLYTHERING (Seviper) Lv. 51
- Crunch
- Screech
- Poison Fang
- Secret Power

 

[Syrynn]

So I got a little farther before I ducked down for the night.

Spoiler:

When last we left our hero, he was just outside Victory Road.

First, I ensure my HM slaves sat around and did what they needed: slave my HMs. All eight HMs were spread between the four of them, and Groudon mumbled curses about being reduced to such a waste of battle power. Oh well bro. :p

Victory Road was annoying as usual, but thanks to my numerous Repels and powerful Yuki, the trainers and such were only a minimal block to the end.

Oh, and Wally showed up. Not that it's important, since every one of his Pokemon went down without much hassle. I think I got hit once overall. He cried all the way back to Petalburg. :D

I bought up some Full Restores (40, to be exact), and then let the badge checkers strip-search me for my badges and any weapons of artificial destruction. (You mean I can't use guns to take them down? Boring. :()

Sidney didn't even require brute force. Some Aerial Aces all around and they fell despite Mightyena's Sand-Attack. (Hey stupid, Aerial Ace isn't affected by Sand-Attack. Some Elite Four you are.) No one used real attacks on me, so I won with full HP.

Phoebe was the ghost-girl of the four. Six bites took down her five folks. (Dusclops went to the yellow on the first and Phoebe didn't heal up before the second bite. Idiot. Everyone else was one-hit, and no one used attacks on me. (Second straight damageless clear. Great note to end on, but I decided to go a little farther.)

I went to go bug the snot out of Glacia. She started railing into my sexist ways and threatening to call the police if I didn't go easy on her. So onto the battle.

Glalie annoyed me. Mostly because it froze me a couple of times, but with 40 full restores, I had no fears. The water-ice duals went down fast, mostly thanks to Shock Wave. Aerial Aces and some bites took down the rest, and despite some close calls (a few low yellows and a red), Glacia fell, though I remain glad that it wasn't quite a barnburner this time. I was green at the end, but... that was mostly because of the heals I used. :3

Still, she had the gall to say I touched her ice, and after some policemen came in and threatened to disqualify me, video footage proved I was innocent of any touching that the ladies had told me I performed. So i was allowed to continue, but the cameras pointed right at me. (Jerks. Can't you people leave me alone? I just wanna be the champion.)

After that rotten little display, I decided it was time to knock off for the night. Maybe if I slept it off, everyone would forget and I'd be free to run around with the same fury as before. I saved up and nodded off to slumberland, dreaming of actually being challenged for the first time since Brawly. (That was annoying back before Yuki got super-strong; I beat Roxanne before learning Bite, and Brawly's fighters gave me fits. But from there I was unchallenged and bored with people. Go figure.) :)

So, as of Glacia:

Yuki Lv.71
Still tons of Full Restores left
On thin ice because the ladies don't like to lose and they accuse anyone who beats them of sexual misconduct
Just Drake and Steven left, though I'm only scared of Steven. Drake is likely going to be a wuss like Sidney and Phoebe. ^^

[Syrynn]

Okay, time for the final home stretch!

We last left our hero after his near-disqualification at the hands of Glacia. Note to self: She really doesn't like people "touching her ice."

Anyway, let's get going.

Spoiler:

I heal Yuki up, although I'm a dummy for not having any Elixirs or Ethers. Stupid kid.

I come into Drake's room. He starts spouting off about his girlfriend and his dragons and how close he is with them. Personally, I'd prefer not to see his training sessions.

Not as easy as I'd suspect, but certainly no challenges or true scares. Altaria and Salamence are the two big annoyances, but still not even what I'd hope for in an epic final battle. I use some Full Restores because of Dragonbreath and a lucky Flamethrower, but still, nothing really horrid. I'm still not feeling very challenged.

Drake cries and begs on the phone to Steven to pound me to pulp. We'll see if Stone delivers the goods.

So I get up to Steven, and he praises my work and dedication to Pokemon training. Then, he smiles and tells me that this will be the ultimate test of my prowess. If I can beat him, he claims, I can take over the world. Cool! :3

He starts off easy; his Skarmory goes down without so much as a move thanks to a critical hit Shock Wave. Then Armaldo comes and tries to use Ancientpower to stop me. He gets two off and takes me in the red. I heal as he does, but I still have the advantage due to my speed and accuracy. Not to mention Pressure takes away PP from him. <3 that ability, especially against moves that low in PP.

So finally Armaldo goes down with a little patience, and Claydol comes out. Two bite attacks take care of it, and I'm halfway done. Is this battle really going to be this easy?

I'm still green despite an earthquake rocking me from Claydol, but when Cradily shows up, I run around and laugh like crazy. Three Aerial Aces take him down (Giga Drain annoys me), so it all looks pretty past simple.

I'm in the yellow when Aggron shows up. I take a quick second to throw Yuki a Full Restore, and Aggron misses a Thunder. Good. I slam some Shock Waves down his gullet (three to be precise), and despite some Dragon Claws, his Solarbeam charge ends him. <3 when the CPU goes overconfident.

So finally, it's just Metagross in my way. I'm mid-yellow, so again Yuki gets the Restore treatment.

And the first Meteor Mash is a critical hit. I pray and it stops at less than 5 HP, so immediate restore is needed. Another mash takes me just in the green, so I slam a Shock Wave at him. A bite leads to another red-inducing Mash. He heals up as I do, leaving us at square one, except he's out 6 PP on the Mash. Just as I planned. Only two more mashes to survive, and luck is with me. His first one hits after a wave takes him to 60% or so. A quick heal leads to a Hyper Beam, which slices me to the red. A Shock Wave rattles him again to about 25%, enough where one more takes him out.

There, I'm done with you Steven. I just owned your entire league with only Yuki by my side. You gave me a good run, Steven, but I'm the champ now. Hand over the world.

So after I beat him, another monologue from the ex-champ leads into May coming to try and give me tips on beating Steven. I tell her off and she backs away, then when Steven takes me to the room, the woman follows. Then she cries about not being allowed in.

I put Yuki's Poke Ball in the machine, and the theatrics play where he's inducted into the Hall of Fame. Then I'm put in because I'm the trainer. I hug Yuki and he licks my cheek, and then the year-long credits roll.

Suddenly, I fall asleep and I wake up in my bed at Littleroot. Yuki paws at my hand, begging for breakfast. I check his stats quick, and feed him. Mom yells at me and leaves a ticket under my door, with a note telling me she's so proud I won. Gee thanks Mom; where's my money?

Final score:
Yuki Lv.73
Time of Completion 22:53
League Champion with only Absol fighting
I'm a rich world-ruler. <3

So I'm done with Absol, and now I think I wanna go with a Zigzagoon-Linoone run. Yes. <3

Honk.
Wait, is saving before the battle and restarting if I lose against the rules? I save before I fight the gym leaders and every Elite Four so I can restart from the beginning of the battle.
Anyways, with Pinsir I'm currently in the SS Anne. I beat my Rival, but had to cut off my gameplay for the time being.

Edit: OK, finished Lt. Surge. The only one that took multiple hits was Raichu, who took Revenge and a Vicegrip. Pinsir is so cheap.

I thought it was really cool how I stumbled upon this as I was playing my solo run of Sapphire, just saying. XD

My latest badge is from beating Fortree's Wionna, and my Sableye's level 52, and I'm currently at Mossdeep. I don't have a picture right now, because I decided to play it on an actual DS, and not on a ROM, only because I had the game. XD
I'll get a picture up soon!(:

 

[GliscorFan08]

Honk.

No, you can do that
But he saves the game in the middle of the batttle and when he loses restarts from the battle with the pokemon he lost

 

[Syrynn]

I had the fortune of only losing a bunch in the beginning; after Brawly, everyone went down on my first try (thank goodness).

I'll happily take my spot on the winner's circle, and I'm gonna go for the first Normal-type solo.

Username: Syrynn

I think it's funny that Linoone can learn Surf. Just saying. :3

 

[Xephyr]

Sorry Syrynn I don't know if you posted this earlier but I don't know the moveset of your Absol so lemme know and I'll include that on the Champions list.

I might do a run through FireRed with Muk, but considering I'm running this challenge, working on a Shiny Gold X Let's Play, and working on my own rom hack, in addition to my competitive battling aspirations on Shoddy AND real life, I'm not sure if I'll get around to it :P

 

[Syrynn]

Final Moveset for Yuki:
Bite <--- Makes Phoebe useless.
Shock Wave <--- Really throws down Glacia and helps majorly with Steven.
Ice Beam <--- Turns Drake into a sniveling baby. Which means it rules. <3
Aerial Ace <--- Wrecks Sidney. Bad.

And I'm tempted to do updates for the Linoone solo challenge via LP. :D

Note: Yuki's moveset was designed after the first run down Champion's Lane. For maximum effectiveness and beatdown.

 

[The Doctor]

Honk.

God Can U BE More Of A Cheater? U Save Halfway Through And If U Lose U Reset? Ur A Saddo. Do It Right Or Dont Do It At ALL! Stupid Idiot.
