Eleanor - Badge #3

For the next segment, I'll pick up some herbs and progress to Area #18!

First of all, my team hasn't changed. All I was able to accomplish was evolve my Espurr and Budew (finally), and... put them into couples because they asked so. We have Bouquet and Squirtlepail, Fancy cat and Sword spectre, and finally Powerbank and Water Bottle. I still didn't let my Luvdisc battle at all, but his fresh water was still quite helpful. Just... not as much as last time, because I spent quite a long time in Reflection Cave (the real one) while on my way to Shalour. I still haven't paired up the Pokémon I have in the PC (of which I have two more, a Roggenrola and a Staravia [Strength / Fly]), but will do that if they get on my team because... I'm sure Roselia and the others will convince them to ask for the same treatment.

(i'll write more later if i can but here's all you need to know in order to make me progress I believe!)

GT Ruby Challenge - Part 2
Well, so after beating Roxanne and rescuing some oldman's Wingull from Team Magma, I headed to the forest where I caught SLAKOTH the Slakoth and SHROOMISH the Shroomish, I didn't name them anything because I speedran the whole thing and forgot, but I'll do it in Slateport. Now you may wonder, which are the priority moves those two learn (and I asked myself the same thing at first, honestly), turns out Vigoroth is able to learn Endure by level up, that has a +4 priority, and the only exceptions I'm taking for this rule is Protect since nearly every Pokémon in Gen 3 learns that, and Breloom learns Mach Punch at some point of the game (If endure doesn't count tell me pls bc I kinda am not sure if the rule applies only to attacking moves or status moves are valid too).

By the way Slakoth and Shroomish both are the pair of Nameless Girls right now, while Bird and Plant are the pair of Creatively Named Pokémon (that one goes for my second rule, I think that's how it works).

Anyways, the Wingull's owner turned out to have a boat and offered to sail to Dewford so I can give Steven Stone some letter. After grinding a bit in Granite Cave, especially for the two new Pokémon I beat Brawly's Team with Bird only.

---

Current Pairs:
Creative Names:
1.Bird/Taillow (Female), Level 16 (Wing Attack, Growl, Focus Energy, Quick Attack)
2.Plant/Grovyle (Male), Level 17 (Pursuit, Fury Cutter, Absorb, Quick Attack)

Nameless Girls
1. Slakoth (Female), Level 15 (Scratch, Yawn, Encore, Slack Off)
2. Shroomish (Female), Level 17 (Mega Drain, Tackle, Stun Spore, Leech Seed)

Gonna choose a... herb this time! And move to room 45.

By the way, does the first rule mean that I can keep that Pokémon without necessarily having it with the priority move as long as it can learn it, or should I teach it permanently since the moment it's available for me?

So uh, my character isn't on the map yet (Panel 25). If you don't mind, can you just give me the challenge needed if you're busy? You can update it properly later, thanks

Edit : You don't have to if you're also too busy to do that, either. This can wait

So I did repair the map and updated it. Once again, you can all choose from wood, rock or herb for this round.

 

[WizardOfOdd]

So yeah... First update, yay! So, I'm playing Eternal X Rebalanced Edition. So what does rebalanced edition mean? So in this romhack version, a lot of Pokemon get moveset, stat, and even type overhauls. I haven't looked at the documentation yet, but I do remember Dusknoir having the ability Iron Fist and gaining access to Drain Punch, that's one of the changes. Another example is Farfetch'd who has its stat jacked up quite a lot in Attack and speed stat, changing type to Flying/Fighting and gaining several powerful moves, becoming a real glass cannon. Well without further ado, let's describe our journey.

So we have to use a mineral-type egg group Pokemon, I don't mind using PKHex here because they're not available in early part. And to add more fun to the mix, I decided to use a number randomizer and basing it on the bulbapedia table. The number I got was for Glalie, but obv I entered a Snorunt to the game. So few things happen, I got an early defeat handed by Shauna and her Fennekin that managed to land an Ember despite multiple Flash I spammed, catch a team of 6. And that's that. Or so, I think... I thought 'hey, maybe the choice to play a romhack isn't so bad at all'. Well everything get downhill when I fight the roller skates NPC, she has a Torchic with Speed Boost that totally crushed my rag-tag team of weaklings. Feeling this daunting task, I decide to you know... Distract myself from the daunting task with talking to other NPCs.

I didn't overexaggerate when I wrote daunting task, the highest level Flying-type I have was a level 3 Fletchling. So the future was quite grim... Before I realize somebody accept a Bunnelby (Which I accidentally caught) with a Farfetch'd. So I did, and my level 3 Bunnelby was exchanged with a level 10 Farfetch'd with a Jolly nature. Hoo boy~ This is looking good, and it was a breeze, every single of Viola's gym trainers was beaten with a single Aerial Ace. But, things changed when I face Viola. I beat two of her pokemon quite easily, but then Joltik appears and I didn't manage to OHKO it? You know what it used? Cross Poison, and it poisoned my Farfetch'd. Yikes... And then I had to face a Dustox with poison + Protect strategy which caused a lot of poison damage to accumulate on my sole ace Pokemon. I won, but her Vivillon KO-ed me with a Gust. So I had to restart after fainting, and you know what? I got KO-ed three more times before RNG strikes in and made it use Powder instead of Gust.

Now my Farfetch'd is level 20, and it's just the first gym hoo boy... You can't evolve to the 'Knight of the Leek' here, but I hope I can use you to get farther. If the rules don't erase his existence first. I pick another herb moving to 31.

Just For Fun
Fainting Counter : 6

 

[BlissyMKW]

Ok, a curse that doesn't totally murder me. I'm fine with this one. I still have to get new mons, and because the Super Rod isn't available for almost the entire game, I won't be able to get a Water type fish until I get Surf. Welp...

Episode 2 - Back to Square One

Spoiler:

Current "curses"

Limited Supplies - 20 items only, TMs and key items are fine. Any extras must be used immediately, sold, or thrown away.
Mutiny - Team reset after the first gym
Storm Problems - No Fire types or Fire moves until after Clay, must get a Water type fish, but impossible to get until I get Surf. Psyduck is also not a fish, so I can't use it to fulfill this condition.
They're minerals! - Catch a Pokemon in the Mineral egg group. Virbank Complex has Magnemite, so this is an easy fix.

So, because of the Mutiny Global Rule, I have to box my whole team and catch a replacement. Since I'll eventually need Surf, Lancelot will probably be seeing the light of day in the future. Before I can even do any of that, however, there's plot to take care of. Right away, an unwelcome distraction from Bianca and a free Return TM that I might consider using in the eventual future. Some talking later and it was off to the Pokemon Center to sell my X Speed to make a little bit of room for items. And now, time to go back to the ranch since that's pretty much the best place I can catch a replacement team member at this point without battling the Hiker on Route 20. Originally, I wanted to find a high leveled Lillipup since I know they exist, but then settled for a Psyduck...only to later find a Level 7 Lillipup, so naturally, I replaced the Psyduck right away with said Lillipup.

I used a couple of the Oran Berries Alder gave me while I leveled up to Level 10 and then it was back to box all the mons I either can't use or don't plan to use. Anyway, at Level 10 with an X Attack, can we beat the Hiker's Riolu without getting obliterated? Actually, yes, because Riolu sucks at this point of the game. Sure, he had Endure, which made it a 3HKO, but I still won while underleveled. And now, it's off to Virbank City. I may actually keep this Lillipup around, but Pickup is pretty bad when I can only hold 20 items. Speaking of items, Cheren gave me 3 Pecha Berries so I used one of my Potions, I literally walked past the double battle, and the moment I'm about to enter Virbank City, I get Great Balls given to me. Ahhhhhhh! Stop doing this to me, game! Luckily, it's only 2, but that pushes me to 18 items.

Anyway, family issues are a thing that happen, but...who cares? We're gonna go hunting for Magnemites in Virbank Complex instead, then farm against some Audino for some levels. Luckily, I ran into one first encounter, but thanks to some complications and it getting a crit with Tackle, I used my Fresh Water and caught it first try with a Great Ball. Welcome Magneto to the team. And now we farm against Audino.

On an unrelated note, so far, both Grayhound and Magneto have +Defense natures. What is this, I can't even. Anyway, after farming, I went to Virbank Complex...only to experience first hit Flame Body and getting paralyzed on the first Thundershock from an Elekid. My cursed luck is the stuff of legends. The final worker went down very easy thanks to Magneto, though. Speaking of Magneto, he's pretty much going to obliterate this gym, being a Steel type and all. Like, seriously, he hard walls everything in this gym, it's actually really, really funny. Nothing was hard in the gym. Easy run, easy game.

The Team

Grayhound (Herdier) Lv. 17 @ Nothing
Nature: Impish
Ability: Sand Rush
Moves: Leer, Tackle, Helping Hand, Bite

Magneto (Magnemite) Lv. 18 @ Nothing

Eleanor - Badge #4

For the next segment, I'll pick up some wood and progress to Area #21!

[So this time, I'm thinking of changing a bit the Team section since I don't have to write this much and the Pokémon are getting more and more! You'll see there what new members I obtained.]

I don't think I've ever seen Korrina without skates, and that means I can be like her as well! Unless someone comes up to me and tells me to stop, that is. I've started to put this into practice as well by skating all the way up the Tower of Mastery (oh, that's how it's called uh?), fighting Korrina with one of her Lucario, being gifted said Lucario, and skating all the way down. How did I not crash and die is beyond me but who cares: I've just obtained a juggernaut to add to my team! I've decided to pair him up with my Staravia and leave out W... no, not him, but Meowstic and Honedge. Oh well...

Once I got Surf and taught it to Water Bottle, Route 12 was easy (also because Wartortle evolved) and I also took some time to explore Azure Bay. That was some much needed relax, lulled by the waves and the breeze, but I knew I had to get a move on before the heat would increase even more. So I just caught a bunch of random Pokémon, got bored, and got into Coumarine City. I got a call from my rival but just didn't answer - bad move because as soon as I walked close to the Gym Door, he was right there waiting for me. He surprised me with a battle I didn't ask for and in the heat of the moment, I sent out Pikachu. Poor thing was KOed by his Meowstic after getting it low on health, but that meant... Water Bottle had to actually fight! We don't wanna hurt our Pokémon's feelings right? So I sent out Luvdisc, got rid of Meowstic, and then... oh, and then Water Bottle finished the entire battle! First he subdued Absol with some Charm before whittling it down, and then drowned Braixen. I didn't really expect that and I was pleasantly surprised. But then again I remembered, it's just a Luvdisc. Materialize some water, please.

Next up was the Gym of course. I couldn't really leave the city because of some monorail issues so I just went in with what team I had, not before using a Shiny Stone on my Roselia, who I didn't even send out in battle. Lucario and Staravia (who didn't evolve in time of course) did everything by themselves, including the Gym Leader battle. Another badge, another step glide closer to Mountain Kalos. I taught Grass Knot to Roserade via TM, too.

Segment 2 log:
Overheard in the Dewford City Gym after the most recent battle:
"He got me," Brawly said of BIG BOI's Grovyle's Absorb crit over him. "That f***ing Grovyle boomed me."
Brawly added, "He's so good," repeating it four times.
Brawly then said he wanted to add Grovyle to the list of Pokémon he breeds this summer.

Ok so before critting and beating Brawly (after he took half my money the first time), I found the Cut man and got Cut and taught it to my Grovyle. Marill couldn't learn it but it could learn Surf later on. I then did all the Peeko/Aqua stuff for Mr. Briney and moved myself to Dewford. I got a spectacular OLD ROD from a nice gentleman there. I then proceeded to find a Tentacool first try (lucky, right?) and added him to my team. He learns Surf too. I also didn't battle all of the Trainers back near Rustboro and Petalburg so I went back and did that to level my Tentacool up a bit. I also visited the Granite Cave and delivered the letter to Steven. Then I lost to Brawly, went to Slateport's beach place and leveled up a bit more and went back to crit Brawly.

For my next move I move to 31 and pick Wood.

GT Ruby Challenge - Segment 3​

User: Cubism
Team: Tundra Town

---

Rules:

Spoiler:

1. Treasure Island: All Pokémon on your team must be able to learn at least one priority move.
2. Nord contre Sud: Your Pokémon must form a pairs. Each member of a pair can only switch for the other member of the same pair.
3. Shipwrecked!: You can no longer buy items, with only exception being right before facing E4, when you can buy 10 Full Restores and 10 Revives.

After beating Brawly, I went to Granite Cave so I could give the letter to Steven Stone who was looking for some rocks in some faraway room there. He gives me TM Steel Wing as a reward for it and then leaves, leaving me only with the task of handing the Devon Goods to Captain Stern in Slateport.

I find Stern in the Oceanic Museum, but there are Magma Grunts there as well who once again are trying to steal the Devon Goods... and I beat them with the Nameless Girls. While I try to take the Trick Master's challenge, Slakoth evolves into Vigoroth. And while I was grinding for Wattson's gym, Bird and Shroomish evolved as well.

I expected to lose at least once to Wattson, but Nameless Girls' combination of Yawn + Slack Off + Mach Punch made it way easier for me.

---

Current Pairs:
Creative Names:
1.Bird/Swellow(Female), Level 22 (Wing Attack, Double Team, Focus Energy, Quick Attack)
2.Plant/Grovyle (Male), Level 22 (Pursuit, Fury Cutter, Absorb, Quick Attack)

Nameless Girls
1. Vigoroth (Female), Level 23 (Scratch, Yawn, Cut, Slack Off)
2. Breloom (Female), Level 24 (Mega Drain, Flash, Headbutt, Leech Seed)

I'm moving to room 44 and picking a rock this time.

 

[BlueWyvern4]

Segment #1: Start -> Zephyrbadge
L'île mystérieuse: Your team must have a whole ship crew and a ship. Aside from ship, this includes captain, first mate, sailors and chief cook and many others.

After getting my first rule, I brainstormed a bit on how I want to tackle this run. I decided on taking this ship theming and running with a pirate team, starting off with Capn Kidd the Pichu. Can you tell I've been playing Persona 5? Since he starts with Thunderbolt, I decided to start off in Johto, since Falkner is close by and it'll be an easy first badge!
Leaving my starting town of New Bark Town, I tried to take a detour towards Blackthorn City, but uh... Capn Kidd was left with only 1 HP after a run in with a Hiker, and I figured I'd hold off on that route till later.
I stocked up on some items in Cherrygrove City before continuing over to Violet City and taking on its gym. Getting the Zephyrbadge was easy enough - just had to use Thunderbolt a couple times to knock everyone down!

Going forward, I'll grab an Herb and use the Lighthouse to move to room #25!

 

[alisaie]

FIRST UPDATE

RULES:
Nord contre Sud: Your Pokémon must form a pairs. Each member of a pair can only switch for the other member of the same pair.​

We start out journey by having our good friend Hop come and get us so we can pick up the Champion/his brother Leon! After the quick trip over to the new town we're back at Hop's and Leon's house and Leon have three Pokemon for us to choose from. I decide to choose Scorbunny, who we then name Pasta! After some food, and then a battle the next day, our journey begins!

Well, not exactly. First Hop and I get lost in the Slumbering Weald, encounter some mysterious Pokemon, and meet both the Professor and her Assistant for the Pokedex. But along the way Pasta found a best friend in Soup the Chewtle! Already there's no separating them! After we beat Hop and get into the Gym Challenge by Leon, our journey truly begins.

Soon enough we find ourselves at Tuffield after stopping by Monostoke for the beginning of the Gym Challenge. Milo was a piece of cake as Pasta takes them all down with Flame Charge. Now onward to our next segment. Who knows what will happen!

With little choice we will pick up the weird black device and move to number 46!

PASTA (RABOOT)
Paired w/ Soup
Fire
Lax | Blaze | Level 21
Tackle, Double Kick, Flame Charge, Quick Attack

SOUP (CHEWTLE)

I haven't even gotten to the first gym yet and I'm already lumbered with 3 global curses??? Oh boy...

You can only use Pokémon that are considered Yellow, Green or Blue by Pokédex.

Does anyone know a Sinnoh Pokedex that lists Pokemon by their colour...? :')

Segment 3 - log:
"He got me,"
So I traveled to Slateport to deliver the Devon Goods, and then I went back for the Exp Share. Afterwards, I came back and did all the trainer battling stuff and the Trick House stuff and the rival battle stuff. I also caught an Electrike. I got to Mauville, battled all the Trainers around, and FINALLY learned a decent move on Tentacool (being Bubblebeam, though I guess Acid was alright). I got Rock Smash and taught it to Marill. I also sent Electrike and Marill to the daycare and walked really fast for a while, not like it mattered since they were there for disruption in the fights.

Anyway, that Tribal crap and the new rule didn't affect me too much, as I was already using light Pokémon that matched those colours. I lost to Wattson twice then bought a bunch of X Attacks and beat him.

Team:

Spoiler:

Grovyle Lv28
- Pursuit
- Cut
- Absorb

Tentacool Lv25

Electrike Lv19

Marill Lv15

I move up to 33 and pick Wood (again).

Log Day 3:

My Pokemon keep running away from me. At least Flappy :) is still with me

Found a funny fat Pokemon. It looks like it dislikes being called fat. Not fat is a good nickname.

Met a hot guy in a cave. Didn't listen to what he said. Gave him letter.

Fished for another fish because I lost my goldfish. Caught a carp. Named him Seafood.

Reached another town. Gave delivery to this Stern guy. Beat up more of those "Team Aqua" people.

PokeMart here sells drugs (X Atk/X SpA/X Spd especially). Nice.

Some poofy lady dragged me to a contest hall. Got a Pikachu. Looks strong. Going to be my MVP.

First Pokemon evolved. Flappy :) is a Swellow now.

That boy gave me an itemfinder after beating his Pokemon. All I found were medicine.

Reached a big city. Got a free bicycle here.

Game Corner has been shut down. Bummer.

Sick kid from Petalburg wanted to beat my Pokemon. He got one-shot.

Fought another gym. Drugs were useful. Pikachu crushed him easily.​

Spoiler:

- Note to self: buy more drugs.​

Eleanor - Badge #5

For the next segment, I'll pick up some rocks and progress to Area #20!

[The Pokémon got more and more? Well now not only the eligible Pokémon are very few, but I also won't find many new ones along the way! Nice one!]

Something terrible happened today. After beating Ramos, I checked into my PC box to find out, most of my Pokémon were gone. Disappeared! I'm left with about 12 Pokémon in total, some of which - to be honest - I just don't feel like using at all. Luckily, I still have my...

Roserade is not coming along. Nor is Blastoise. They are forcing me to keep them in the PC Box as well and not use them until I get another badge. What is this? Water Bottle also refuses to battle ever again, and so does Pikachu. I'm totally flabbergasted, and all I can do is pick up two little friends from my PC. Inkay, and Meowstic - whose pair, Honedge, has been wiped away from the face of the earth anyways. I try to put them together as a pair, and it takes me a while to convince them, but in the end, we move on. This is everything I have.

Well yes, I have tons of items I stocked up, since I know I have to move quickly and get to my next destination soon (which is Lumiose of course), I also have Water Bottle with me keeping me company, and I even have skates. Always fun. Too bad I have to go through Route 13, which is this desertic wasteland with a strong wind where I can't even glide around as normal. Plus, I keep stumbling into Pokémon who dig underground and then pop up from nowhere! I have to fend for myself against Dugtrio, Trapinch, and Gible (one of which I catch) and if that wasn't enough, I soon learn that I have to deal with Team Flare! That one Grunt out in the open is enough to send me packing, because of a single Houndoom. Having two Psychic types doesn't help, uh?

I try to think about what to do and for once, I'm starting to feel a bit stupid. Who knows how many things and items I've left behind, too far for me to go back to? Who knows what I can still do with what little I have? How could I even lose against such a laughably bad trainer? I get told that nearly everyone in Team Flare has Poison or Dark types and I shudder. The best I can come up with is... keep going as fast as I can. It's getting hot, I want this to be over. I want my mountains, and if that is not enough I'm 100% ready to move to Snowpoint City or something. I pull up a random TM - "Power Up Punch" - simply because it's a Fighting type move and I force Meowstic to learn that move. Let's do this.

Close call after close call, I'm able to get into the Kalos Power Plant and defeat everyone in one go. I have to use lots of Revives, various potions and even my one and only Ether, but Power Up Punch works alright and lets me defeat all those Dark Types with nothing but a Meowstic. Of course Inkay helps as well, I got an Eviolite for it and let him use Hypnosis, but it's just not as strong as Meowstic. What do I get for my efforts, then? Other than getting into Lumiose, of course, I also get like 60 Fresh Water (they're a Super Potion that costs 1/7 of a super potion) and a Zap Plate. And that's when I realize, I have no Thunder stone!

All of this felt like a Perfect Storm, I can't deny that, but now that I made it into Lumiose, I feel like things could get worse. I really need to be more careful from now on. That is... once I relax for a bit here in the city! The whole place is now ready for me to explore and there are so many things to do, including beating a new Gym. And since that is what Roserade and the others seemed to ask me in order to get back into the team, that's what I'm going to do!

How am I going to do that? Obviously, with Power Up Punch! I slowly build up more and more power with Meowstic, healing it multiple times with potion after potion, and all three of Clemont's Pokémon were defeated. Inkay had already evolved into Malamar at that point and yes, it was finally getting a bit stronger, but I didn't even need its help in the end. And now that I got the badge... let's just hope my Pokémon will choose to help me out once again and take me to the next city.

2nd Gym
A (Literally) New Beginning​

Well the title said it all. After getting boomed by the Global Rule, every single one of my Pokemon is doomed... Even Lancelot (Farfetch'd) is out of commission. And with a level 5 Pikachu and Pansage. It's not long (Literally the next battle :') ) until both of them permanently out of the game. And yes I had to start a new game.

Well I'll finish the report tomorrow, but after fighting an eviolite Tyrunt, second gym is finally done. Now onward to the 3rd one, picking a wood and going to hex 33

Spoiler:

1. Treasure Island: All Pokémon on your team must be able to learn at least one priority move.
2. Nord contre Sud: Your Pokémon must form a pairs. Each member of a pair can only switch for the other member of the same pair.
3. Shipwrecked!: You can no longer buy items, with only exception being right before facing E4, when you can buy 10 Full Restores and 10 Revives.

5. TRIBAL WARS - GLOBAL RULE!: You can only use Pokémon that are considered Yellow, Green or Blue by Pokédex.

Okay, first thing first, Bird and Vigoroth are both in the PC now, which means that I am with Breloom and Plant as my team, which doesn't work at all because I'm going against Flannery now. So I catch an Elektrike (Dog) and a Swablu, and since I need to form pairs I boxed Breloom for now. I also caught a Wingull, and after training a bit and evolving Dog and Wingull I went to challenge Flannery.

Shit was... hard, actually. But I still beat her first try, though I was left only with Dog alive and it was a close one too (I won bc of Paralysis RNG).

---

Current Pairs:
Creative Names:
1.Dog/Manectric(Male), Level 29 (Spark, Thunderwave, Odor Sleuth, Shock Wave)

By the way, I'm using the Gen 4-8 P/S split, and as for Spark, Rock Smash, Pursuit, Peck and Astonish, they are unnused rn and iirc the Move Deleter is in Lilycove.

Picking the Totem bc there's no way in hell I'm picking herb again and if I fuck up I take everyone w/ me :rowlhmph: Also moving to room 47

It's getting crowded up here at the top of the map :o

Get Together Challenge Part 1

Haven't played through Gen 5 for so long, excited to play it again!

Current Rules:

Lost technology - You can no longer use TMs.

I began my Unova journey by selecting Oshawott (later named Shemie!) as my starter and immediately defeating Cheren and Bianca thereafter, turning my room into a mess in the process! I then met my two rivals at Prof. Juniper's lab and received a Pokedex. Next we all set foot together on Route 1!

On Route 1 I caught Patches the Patrat and Shags the Lillipup! Made it to Accumula Town where Prof. Juniper gave a tour of the Pokemon Center. Then I went outside and listened to Ghetsis's speech and got challenged by N soon after. Shemie took down N's Purrloin with ease!

Then I got hit with a GLOBAL RULE:

TRIBAL WARS (GLOBAL RULE) - You can only use Pokémon that are considered Yellow, Green or Blue by Pokédex.

Luckily, Shemie is blue so he gets to stay on the team! The others have to go in the box though. No other Pokemon with the proper colors seem to be available until Wellspring Cave, so looks like it's gonna be solo with Shemie for a while. I went ahead to Route 2 and battled the trainers along the way, then defeated Bianca before entering Striaton City. I found Cheren at the Trainer's School and battled him, and... I lost to his Snivy... twice! Leer + Vine Whip was a deadly combination. Instead I just went to the Dreamyard and battled the trainers there, then received a Pansear from the girl (which I can't use unfortunately). I found an X Defend, then went back to fight Cheren again and used the X Defend and finally beat him.

Now it was time to fight Cilan. Kind of tough with it being Water vs Grass, I lost a couple of times and then went and leveled Shemie up to level 16. The third time, thanks to the Fresh Water from Clyde and some potions, Shemie was able to tough it out against Pansage and take it down and we got the Trio Badge!

Current Team:

Shemie ♂ Lv. 16
- Tackle
- Tail Whip
- Water Gun
- Focus Energy

Now, it's time to inflict another GLOBAL RULE upon the masses! Hehe >:)

I take the artifact and go to room 44
