[Archer]

Okay, I started a monotype challenge yesterday on Yellow, which I assume is okay. I'll give a brief recount of my journey so far.

Archer's

Journey Recount So Far...

Began my journey.
Player Name: Archer
Rival Name: Dukey

I began my epic tale by acquiring a Pikachu from my supposed mentor, Professor Oak, who had the original intention of giving me an Eevee, although it wouldn't matter; I proceeded to venture into the depths of Viridian Forest, where I came face-to-face with my first slimy specimin - Caterpie. I captured it withing a Pokeball after skillfully paralysing it and weakening it with a well-placed Thundershock. It gained the ever-so appropriate nickname of Apocalypse to reflect it's true hidden potential.

After vigorous training in the infamous Route 1, with hours of trips back to the Pokemon Centre to heal it's Scratches (pun intended), it rose through the levels and became a Metapod, and hours later, an incredible Butterfree.

I proceeded through Viridian Forest and through Route 3 into the well-worn Pewter City. I made sure to take a trip to the Pokemon Centre, mainly to heal my PP, which was a good representation of the effortless slaughter it brought on for the wandering amateurs that resided there. After that, I wasted no time in discovering the many secrets of the city, but instead hastened my pace towards the Gym - this path needed no introduction to me; I had travelled it before. As I heaved open the heavy marble door, iconic of what lay in store on the other side, I felt the adrenaline rushing though my veins. In true warrior style, I took to the gym in a single run. I overcame Sandshrews and Geodudes alike, as if they were just steps towards me goal. With little hesitation, I proceded to take on this area's Leader - Brock.

To increase my chances of getting through unscathed, my opening move was to paralyse the opposing Geodude with a stunning spore, which ironically goes by the perplexing name of Stun Spore. I took my time with two waves of Confusion, which were enough to take it down. Onix, which was intimidating in size to my formidable butterfly, was something that needed to be taken out fast. I took no chance trying to cripple it, but went straight in for the kill. It's Bide proved to be in vain, as my first Confusion took of more that half of it's vitality. I moved in for the kill with a decisive Confusion. Brock was shocked, but was quick to congratulate me. After a few short words, he exclaimed - "Oh! Take this - you really deserve it", with a impressed grin still lingering on his face. "Thanks, I'll come back and show you the other seven when I'm done." On that note, I left out the front door, awaiting the path ahead of me. My journey begins...

The Team...

This team will only include the Bugs I'm using to battle. HM slaves and anything else will be excluded to save time. ...and from what you can see from above I'm good at that.

Butterfree - Level 16
~ Confusion
~ Tackle
~ Stun Spore
~ Sleep Powder

Other Notes...

I'm actually much further than this, but I sort of got carried away with the story and can't be bothered writing more, so I'm going to space them out. Tell me if you think the recount is a waste of time, I'm not going to spend ages crafting it if it's just taking up space. I guess you can VM me with anything about this, as it might clog the thread. :D Thanks for your time.

^Crap. I'm shown up. Lol nice writing, I'mna have to try some of that. I would do an update, but I haven't tried to beat Erika yet... have you ever done a bug type challenge before? Because that seems extremely hard lol

 

[Ooka]

Well, I suppose I'll be taking part in this, although I'm not quite started yet, so I'm just posting to say for now.

I guess I'll be doing the Bug type along with Archer, due to Butterfree being the best Pokemon ever. ;)

Part 3!

Before Reading You Should Know...

That this is not by any means a full account. I omitted the grinding and Rock Tunnel because... well they're both equally boring ^_^ Also, Mew=Best HM Slave​

So what I have I been up to latley? (Part 3):
Nothing interesting really. When I finally arrived in Vermillion, I had thoughts of Surge's Raichu pwning my team. So I decided to eat all of the trainers by Diglett's Cave. I still thought that my team would be no where near strong enough to defeat him. Fourtunatley, this was not the case, as I handed a big can of FACE to Surge as his Raichu lay flat on the ground. Most of this was accomplished by Dart's tank-like epicness. And Bite. Glad that was finished quickly. I knew now that with the Thunder Badge in my hand, it was time for the dreaded Rock ------------------------- arrived in Lavender Town, and beat a couple of pansy's by the tower. I walked into route 8, I realized... Hey... I hate Bellsprout as an HM slave. And since he can't fly, I'm going to have to catch another worthelss waste of space. I quickly realized the remedy for this situation- Mew. So, like the lighting that my team hates dearly, I stormed off into Celadon, and acquired Fly from the little girls house (note to self... barge into houses more often). I paid the guard his water, and began the Mew Glitch. After catching the little guy with one great ball, I proceeded to dump everyone else off and teach Mew cut and fly. He's pretty much going to be the only HM slave I'm going to have from now on. But, with a party of three- one of which I cannot use- I needed another Pokemon. Now, you may be wondering why I did not pick up Eevee in Celadon? Simple. Vaporeon is too great of a Pokemon, and therefore makes the game easy and stale. I could wipe out all of Kanto with it's Hydro Pump. Since I want this to be somewhat difficult and rewarding, I scratched the idea of Vaporeon and instead went for a weaker specimin with an awful special stat- Krabby. But, to obtain Krabby, I need to have a Super Rod. And to get a Super Rod I need to clear fatty Snorlax out of the way. And to clear fatty Snorlax out of the way I need a Pokeflute. I think you know where this is going. In order to get Krabby, I need to take a trip to the game corner.​

So, why not? I arrived at the Celadon game corner, and noticed a not suspicious man standing by a poster. Why don't we shoot the breeze with this fine fellow? Unfourtunatley, he did not seem happy to see me (most likely lost at the slots big time), and proceeded to attack me. I do not hold back when I fight, even the most pitiful Raticate deserves to be slaughtered justly. Jormungand quickly took care of that. He left, so I decided- for no apparent reason- to look behind his poster. And low and behold, there was a switch. Eh, let's press it, see what's up. Just like that, a portion of the wall collapsed (though I seemed to be the only one that noticed)! I quickly went to investigate, and upon entering the decrepit wall, I was engulfed by a high pitched 8-bit song. Kind of catchy, if you ask me. Team Rocket was down here, so they must not be up to any good. I explored the hideout, and eventually found Giovanni, at which point I began to laugh at his low-level rock types. And then beat them into the ground. Giovanni did not seem flustered however, and he left in a poof of magical black screen. But he also left a Silph Scope. Heh heh. I took this Scope and found my way into Pokemon Tower, where I thrashed Zieg, and calmed Cubone's mother. Why she is so distraught and angry I have no idea. It turned out that Team Rocket was up there again... I don't know why, but they were. I ended up saving some old guy, Mr. Fuji, and he presented me with a PokeFlute. I now had all that I needed to get Snorlax out of the way. So I did just that. Well, I caught him, but whatever! I almost had my Super Rod. Walking south and west a few steps, I entered the fishing guru's house. He gave me a Super Rod, which I used to fish. Alas, I went through many a Goldeen and Magikarp before chancing upon that little crab. The first time, Jormungand defeated him accidentally with a Dragon Rage, but a couple of bites later, I had snagged a Krabby in a great ball. After much consideration, I decided to name him... Lobster.

Original. Awesome. Fruity.

No, I haven't but I picked it because I knew it would be tough. :D

And on my 3rd day, I'm actually up to the Elite Four, but I'll need to do a bit of grinding, considering my team's all level 52. I just don't want to write it all down yet. :D

I'll be looking forward to your run, Ooka. I might update this with an update (lol), but I need to install some stuff first, as I'm in the process of changing over to a new laptop HDD.

Journey Recount So Far...


I last left you wondering what followed my win at the Pewter City Gym...

After healing Butterfree (I am going to omit nicknames from here on out, if for the purpose of making things easier on you. Aren't I thoughtful?), I ventured on the the west, ready to take on a plethora of fellow bug trainers, as well as the occasional Rattata or Pidgey. Butterfree was at Lv 16 by now, so I had no trouble plowing through the trainers littering the Route. Caterpies and Metapods could usually only take a Confusion to the face, and the hardier ones were met with a swift Tackle to save PP.

I did have one close encounter near the end of the route with.... a Jigglypuff. Confusion bisected its vitality, but it managed to get in a Sing and proceed to Pound away at my poor butterfly. I had no items or Pokemon to switch to (in true Bug-Catcher style, I had deposited Pikachu in the Storage facilities at Pewter City Pokemon Centre - much to Pikachu's dismay.) so I had to sit in and hope for the best. Fortunately, I woke up with around 4 HP left to get in the final Confusion, sealing the pink blob's fate.

"I need to be more careful next time - I'll carry an Awakening or two.", thought Archer.

I carried on, up to the top of the Route, taking the chance to chat to the trainer standing in the grass. I decided it was a waste of time, as he began to complain how tired he was, failing to consider there was a Pokemon Centre within crawling distance... Some people...

So I carried on towards the Mount Moon Pokemon Centre, where I turned down a bargain offer for a Magikarp before throwing down my sleeping bag. I figured it might be easier to explore the caves of Mount Moon in the morning, when it was light enough to see a bit more, but I still had a torch in my pack in case I needed it. It had been a long day, so I drifted off quite quickly.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Bzzzzt! Bzzzt!" .....Butterfree? No. It was the alarm on my phone, I'm prone to sleeping in and I really needed the early start to make sure I got to Cerulean on with time to look around.

Trying to make a single run though the cave was going to be an issue with one Pokemon and 25 usable PP, so I had to make a few trips make and forth, defeating trainers and retreating when I had low PP or HP. After a while, I came across a rather eccentric fellow that was convinced that I was trying to steal the fossils he had uncovered. I tried to convince him otherwise, but it seemed necessary to settle it with a battle...

I was faced with a peculiar pokemon for this area of the cave - A Magnemite. Worried that I could be zapped, I took no hesitation in dropping down some Sleep Powder for the Magnemite - a sleeping Electric Pokemon is a good Electric Pokemon. Despite it's higher than average Special stat, I managed to whittle it down with 3 Confusions, leaving me with 3 PP left. He felt compelled to share the find with me, despite my explanation, so I grabbed the Helix-shaped fossil and left.

Well, that was the idea - if a strange pair of people in white suits hadn't blocked the exit ladder. They muttered some stupid introduction, then demanded:

"Hand it over!"

Assuming they meant my Butterfree, I hastily challenged them to a battle. I had to be careful, with 3 PP left, so I anticipated what I'd be fighting. I let off a sigh of relief when I saw a Koffing. My super-effective Confusion took out both Koffing and Ekans in a single hit, but I then faced the prospect of taking out a Meowth with only 1 PP of Confusing power left. I decided it would be best to Poison the Meowth and then proceed to hack away with Tackle. This was a slow, but effective method, until I ended up with almost 5 HP left, which wasn't enough to survive the odd critical hit. Instead, I gave it my last Confusion, which just managed to take it down. This odd duo then scramble off into the cave, which wasn't a wise choice, considering they had no conscious pokemon. I instead headed in the opposite direction, out of the cave and off to Cerulean city, where I took the opportunity to heal up on PP and HP.

I knew that I couldn't take down Misty yet, with her infamous Starmie, so I began to head north, to add a Venonat to my army, when I bumped into.... my rival.

I have intentions of continuing, I just need to make sure I don't lose this when my parents turn off the router. I realise that this is turning into more of a RP than a log, but whatever.

*posts, hopefully inducing suspense.*
