And so, I have begun my monotype Dark challenge!
--------------------
- Started game.

- Beat May, my rival.

- Caught 2 Zigzagoon, my Poochyena, and another Zigzagoon.
- Trained / battled my way through to Rustboro.
- Trained up a little before I challenged the first gym.
- Challenged Rustboro City Gym, beating Roxanne (Treecko saved the day. Poor Poochyena. x.x) and obtaining the Stone Badge.

- Delivered Mr. Stone's letter to Steven, got the Steel Wing TM, and exited Granite Cave.
- Trained Sableye to almost catch up to my new Mightyena.
- Challenged the Dewford Town Gym, effortlessly breezing through it with Sableye, and ultimately dominating Brawly (his Makuhita was the only pokemon in the entire gym to hit me, and it was only Knock Off that hit me), obtaining the Knuckle Badge.

---------- Update ----------
Picking up where I left off, the adventure continues...
--------------------
- Went back and stocked up on Soda Pop.
- Battled through the side-route near the Trick Master's house.
- Completed the first challenge by the Trick Master.
- Beat May after finding her on my way to Mauville.
- Continued battling / training until I reached Mauville City.
- Dismissed Wally's (rather sad) attempt to beat me, and made him go back to Verdanturf.
- Decided to wait on taking on Mauville's gym and headed to Verdanturf.
- breezed on into Verdanturf.
- Headed back to Mauville City, prepared to challenge the gym.
- Challenged the Mauville City Gym, and after recovering from a few bumps in the otherwise easy battles that insued (I hate you, Magneton... -_-), I beat Wattson and obtained the Dynamo Badge.
- Taught Treecko Rock Smash and cleared the rocks clogging up Rusturf Tunnel, getting the Strength HM in the process (Treecko learned that, too, soon after).
- Defeated all four members of the Winstrate Family, obtaining the Macho Brace.
- Cleared the smashable rocks previously blocking my path and continued onward toward Fallabor Town.
- Battled my way through the massive amounts of trainers, going through the ash-ridden Route 113, finally making it to Fallabor Town.
- Fiddled around in Fallabor, then headed onward toward Meteor Falls, where I, along with Team Magma, ran out Team Aqua.
- Curved around Meteor Falls, back into Mauville, eventually making my way to Mt. Chimney.
- Saved Mt. Chimney from Team Aqua, (easily) defeating Archie and thwarting his plans.
- Curved down and into Lavaridge Town (finally!).
- I trained a little to make sure I wasn't going to lose to the Lavaridge gym.
- I challenged the Lavaridge Town Gym, sailing smoothly, with the exception of Flannery's Torkoal, who hates me (I hate him, too). After a short-but-fierce battle, I defeated Flannery and received the Heat Badge.
- After meeting up with May and gaining the Go-Goggles, I headed into the desert of Route 111 and caught my third team pokemon: Cacnea.
- Trained Cacnea a bit near Verdanturf, then in the desert of Route 111.
Currently: Training Cacnea (my soon-to-be Cacturne), then heading back toward Mauville (I might stop by and give Professor Cozmo his Meteorite back, too).
