Starr's Electric Shock Saga
Chapter Five: Sinnoh and the Storm Badge
First Entry
After defeating Morty, I headed southwest from Ecruteak en route to Olivine. I placed Magnemite at the front of my party because I've heard rumors that once it evolves into a Magneton, there's a place in far-away Sinnoh where it can evolve even further! Luckily for me, one of my old school friends lives in Sinnoh, where he defeated their League Champion much like I hope to do someday.
After reaching Moomoo Farms and helping their sick Miltank get back to prime health, my Pokémon and I headed south, where I found a wild Farfetch'd! I caught him and when we get to Olivine, I'm going to switch him out with Oddish. Not only can Farfetch'd learn Cut, but it can Fly as well and that's a skill I feel I'm going to need sooner or later!
*** FARFETCH'D (MALE) CAUGHT (HM SLAVE) - ROUTE 39 ***
Second Entry
Upon entering Olivine City, Alex appeared and told me that the Gym Leader was, surprise surprise, not at her post. He called me weak or something (I tuned him out, to be honest!) and went to explore the town. I met a fisherman who gave me a Good Rod and told me where I could find a Chinchou... using his Rod, fishing in the Whirl Islands!
Now how am I going to get to the Whirl Islands? I still don't have anybody who can Surf!
Third Entry
Well, I made a decision, and it's not one I'm particularly proud of... I fished right outside Olivine and caught a Krabby.
*** KRABBY (FEMALE) CAUGHT (TEMP. SURF SLAVE) - OLIVINE CITY ***
Now, now, hear me out! I don't plan on keeping the Krabby, even if she is cute! While I searched through the City for ideas, I found a nice guy who is willing to trade his Voltorb for a Krabby! So I'll use Krabby, head out to the Whirl Islands, catch a Chinchou, head back to Olivine, then trade Krabby for the guy's Voltorb and teach Chinchou Surf! It's a flawless plan!
Fourth Entry
It worked! I did it exactly as I laid out before, and on top of all that, Magnemite got some great experience from all of the water Pokémon we defeated! But the most important thing of all, I'm back in Olivine, and I now have both my shiny new Chinchou and that guy's Voltorb... which he apparently named Billy. Weird.
*** CHINCHOU (FEMALE) CAUGHT - WHIRL ISLANDS ***
*** VOLTORB OBTAINED (IN-GAME TRADE) - OLIVINE CITY ***
Now, I'm heading into the Glitter Lighthouse, which is where Jasmine is said to be. Wish me luck!
Fifth Entry
I just got back from the Lighthouse, and things are bad there. The Pokémon that keeps the sea lit at night, an Ampharos, is sick, and Jasmine won't leave it's side! She asked me to head to Cianwood City and get some special medicine from the pharmacy there, and my hands are tied, since I need Jasmine in her Gym to fight her, so I'm off to Cianwood. On the plus side, there's a Gym there as well!
Oh, but first things first... Magnemite evolved during the last fight I had inside the Lighthouse!
*** MAGNETON (GENDERLESS) OBTAINED - MAGNEMITE EVOLUTION ***
While in the Pokémon Center, I called my friend, David, who lives in Sinnoh. Luckily, I caught him while he was relaxing in Hearthome City, taking in some contests. He told me the location I was looking for was Mt. Coronet, and he happened to be right near it where he was, so we did a temporary trade - I sent him Magneton and he let me watch over his cute little baby Chingling in the meantime. She was SO cute!
Anyways, after about ten minutes, I got a call back from David saying that Magneton had leveled inside Mt. Coronet into a Magnezone! We hooked back up over the trade channel and after sending his little Chingling back, I got my freshly-evolved Magnezone!
*** MAGNEZONE (GENDERLESS) OBTAINED - MAGNETON EVOLUTION ***
I thanked David and let him go so he could go enjoy his Contest watching. As for me... it's time to go to Cianwood City, save Ampharos, and get my next Gym Badge!
Sixth Entry
The swim from Olivine to Cianwood was fairly uneventful. I juggled between letting Magnezone and Ampharos fight... they both seem really eager to compete today!
Upon landing on Cianwood's shore, we healed up at the Pokémon Center and found the pharmacy, where the man working gladly handed over his Secret Potion once I explained the situation. We left and I prepared to enter the Gym, but Magnezone started getting all funny and making some noises, then took off towards the northern shore of the City...
It turns out it was Suicune setting off Magnezone's sensors! It took off again, and of course, Eusine popped out of nowhere obsessing over it again. He then challenged me to a match, and Magnezone took out his entire team without trying. Keep trying, buddy, maybe one day you'll catch that Suicune.
After all of that, we finally made it to the Cianwood City Gym. Ampharos took her place at the front of my team and systematically tore through all of the trainers inside the Gym until finally we reached Chuck, the Gym Leader. He was mad I turned his waterfall off, so I apologized by dropping his Pokémon like a bad habit. The Storm Badge is mine!
*** STORM BADGE OBTAINED (5/8) ***
With another Badge in my collection, we exited the Gym, where a woman stopped me and rewarded me with the HM02 for Fly! I immediately taught it to Farfetch'd, then headed back to Olivine through the skies. Up next on the agenda... saving Amphy and getting my next Badge! You're on notice, Jasmine!
