MIAU, I love your update style. So pretty and stylish! And congrats on the shinies, waters_echo! :)

I just updated the list, including any name changes that I was aware of. Again, if you guys could just check the list to make sure you're on correctly, that'd be great. VM me if I forgot you or have you listed wrong (this includes games and usernames). Remember, the usernames are very important because when I give them out, I need the correct ones!

Almost at the end!

Update #5 on Volt White 2.

• Left off on Route 22, where I got the Colress Machine from Colress, then defeated Terrakion.
• Went through Seaside Cave to Team Plasma's ship and beat up the Grunts in there, then defeated Zinzolin alongside Hugh again.
• Chased the ship to the Giant Chasm and solved the warp puzzle in there to unlock the last area.
• Zinzolin was easily taken out by Stergif, then I defeated Colress with a team effort.
• Rolled my eyes throughout Ghetsis' speech, then followed him inside the Giant Chasm cave.
• Defeated White Kyurem, then took on Ghetsis himself.
• I was able to constantly counter him with someone on my team, although Basil Stag was the last one standing.
• Made my way to Route 23 and saved the game. Victory Road awaits!

waters_echo, you have been blessed beyond belief. You know, this actually inspires something...I will get to work on it when I get home. :3

 

[Necrum]

Would Weezing count for He arose in three days? It's pretty much 3 gas sacs conjoined together. Not liking my options in Unova 2 for this requirement. If I can use Weezing though I would be stoked.

Also, someone needs to give me my Gift so I can start. I don't know what Gift I'm using so I can't really do anything right now.

It's up to Syd to approve Weezing (though I see it as two heads), but I can give you your gift: Zorua!

 

[Sydian]

It's hilarious you gave him Zorua, because my Zorua is named after him in my run haha. Anyway, I'll let Weezing pass. It's two main heads with a dead head connecting them...morbid wow. lol

 

[Necrum]

Thanks, Syd! I would have had an aneurism if I had to use Magnezone again... -_- There's almost no qualifying Pokemon for that in Unova 2.

btw, if anyone knows how to edit saves with Pokegen, I have a save file that I'd like a random egg added to. Just PM me.

Epilogue because I had nothing better to do and also the words sparked something...

Spoiler:

On an island in the ocean, a trainer opens the door to a house, lights on despite the fact that outside is lit by a predawn glow. The man inside looks up from his book and his eyes light up; he knows this person.
He has been alone here, unmolested by strangers, his two precious pokemon gone; one stolen by a strange boy, one entrusted to this very girl to keep safe.
Now she is back, and Mania is overjoyed that he will be getting his precious shuckle again.
There seems to be a slightly strained look on her face as she approaches him and nods a greeting, but he barely notes it as he welcomes her back.
"Hi! How's my pokemon?" he grins, "I think I'm safe now, so may I have her back?"
An expression akin to a pained grimace flashes across her face for a fraction of a second before it is reigned in and she releases a pokeball from a clip on her belt, handing it to him.
In a flash of light, the shuckle he hadn't seen in what was, in his opinion, entirely too long appeared... but she seemed so... so... different.
This was not the scaredy pokemon that was always teased good-naturedly by its sneasel companion, not the pokemon that that sneasel had protected.
The shuckle that appeared before him had a bright gleam in her eye, a ready stance as if thinking she could take on the world, as if expecting a battle; a battle that was not forthcoming. She had obviously realised this, blinking at her surroundings in confusion, only to reel back slightly as she recognised it, surprise and happiness alighting.
So he grins and called to her, "Welcome home, Shuckie!"... only for her to rock back as her eyes latched onto her pokeball, held in his hands, and wrap a limb around the trainer's leg, frowning at him.
His grip tightened marginally in shock and she erupts at him, the real words lost in translation, but the vivid tones and body language illustrating the point... and he can only smile as part of his heart glows with warmth and another part shudders and breaks at what he knows he has to do next. Maybe now he was wearing the expression the trainer had worn as she walked in? Had she felt this way, when she had decided to honour her agreement with him and hand Shuckie's pokeball back over to him?
But even if it hurts, even if he is left with no companions, he knows what he was about to do is right.
He presses the pokeball back into her hand and closed her fingers around it. Shuckie falls silent. The trainer swallows thickly.
His hands closed over hers, he speaks again, staring solidly at the pokeball, "My pokemon has come to like you... all right, you should keep her. But promise to be good to her!"
He glances at Shuckie, then up and into the trainer's eyes, and he smiles.
"For pokemon, happiness is being with a person who treats them well."
It hurts, in a way, but what he saw when Shuckie had cried out at him with such vehement passion, willing to fight for this person as she had never dared to do to anyone in all the years she had been with him...
This was a pokemon who had found something that it thought was truly worth fighting for; this was a pokemon that had found bonds that it would fight to the last to protect, and which would return the favor just as earnestly.
Mania watches them as they walk away across the sands, flashes of light as five other pokemon surrounded them, animated cries and movements as they converse with each other punctuating the dawn, and he knows he has chosen right.
Shuckie has found a place where she will be respected. She has found the place she truly belongs.


I am strong. Look at me. Look at me, and see what I have become! I AM STRONG, STRONGER. We traveled not so far, and she showed me that I had the potential to be, just out there in the bay. Then we traveled further, further, and we climbed mountains and conquered caves and at a plateau I faced mighty dragons, but I did not shudder. I braced myself and defeated a dragon! It was hard, but I won Then we traveled further still, journeying, getting stronger, and we returned, and I met my old friend, protector... we fought, then, and I won, as I never had before. We fought the dragons again, too- they shuddered before me, this time... we got stronger, stronger... and then we faced the trainer that everyone spoke of, not long ago. We climbed an even mightier mountain, and we stood before RED himself! We fought and we won. I took out one of the pokemon of the revered champion himself, and we emerged victorious! And do you know? When we returned to the plateau of the dragons, they fled before me, fell before me.
We will always be friends, but this person... this is the person whom I wish to remain standing beside for forever. I'm sorry, but I have found my place, and that place is not wasting away in the place I never knew I could be strong.
So... see you later, old friend, but we have legends and dreams to chase...
I am Shuckie, hear my roar...

(The words that Mania speaks are canonical, actually, with the exception of gendering it where it was neutral (it > she) and the "welcome home" bit)
(I just thought that was pretty touching)
Also, we'd put pictures but Imageshack turned into a jerk and we have no idea what screenshots count as in Imgur's perspective...

Flew back to Olivine city and gave the potion to Ampharos
Faced Jasmine and won thanks to Flareon and Azumarill
Went to Mahogany town and they had a problem at Lake of Rage so went there and defeated the red Gyarados
Talked to Lance for the first time and agreed to help him figure out the problem

Badges Obtained:

Current Pokemon Team:

Jynx♀, "Eggcellent!"
Held Item: Quick Claw
Level 34
Moveset: Confusion, Sing, Sweet Scent & Ice Punch

Flareon♂, "A season of giving."
Held Item: Charcoal
Level 33
Moveset: Quick Attack, Tail Whip, Mud-Slap & Bite

Persian♀, "The gift that keeps on giving."
Held Item: Amulet Coin
Level 33
Moveset: Pay Day, Growl, Faint Attack & Headbutt

Sunflora♀, "Roses are red."
Held Item: None
Level 33
Moveset: Flash, Petal Dance, Mega Drain & Sunny Day

Azumarill♀, "Here comes Peter Cottontail!"
Held Item: Nugget
Level 37
Moveset: Double-Edge, Surf, Rollout & Strength


Seriously, this is the most difficult and worst team I've ever have to use in a challenge run. Flareon's stats are utterly useless for his type, Persian is fast but can't take much hits, Sunflora's stats are sooo horrible that it can't even OHKO anything unless they're like 25 levels under. Only good one in my team are Jynx because it's a glass cannon but it can practically make any Pokemon faint because of it's awesome Sp.Atk stat and Azumarill is really bulky plus Surf and Rollout is devistating.

 

[acatfrommars]

Only 10 days left, but screw. I'm going for it! I'll be participating on Pokemon Black.

"He arose in three days."- Dodrio
"A season of giving."- need a gift pleeeease
"Eggcellent!"- Larvesta
Roses are Red- Petitil
The gift that keeps on giving."- panpour
Here comes Peter Cottontail!"- Lopunny

I hope these are all the right selections.
