Normal UMC update
Alright.. continuing from mt. pyre, i found maxie stealing the blue orb, so i took the red orb and i, because or my ignorance, WALKED allll the way back to slateport. fun. I saw maxie and his grunt take the submarine and i made my way back over to lilycove city, catching a tropius on the way and flew. I found my rival at the supermarket place and slapped her around really quick. After that, i went to magmas base and beat them all and found the master ball. After i finished watching them leave, i left for mossdeep, and i entered the gym. After i realized how much stronger they are than me, i started to train with the reporters. At first, i was getting mad. But when they all hit 40, i just breezed through. Also, i was accumulating money so i could buy coins at the game corner and bought ice beam and flame thrower. I thought Kit-Kat could learn flame thrower, but i learned that she can't.. so i'm waiting till i see the rest of Amp's moves before i give it to him. After they all got to 45, i challenged tate and liza.
I started with Ziggy and Kit-Kat, Ziggy mashing them with surf and Kit-Kat using ice beam. After the solrock died, the lunatone finished Ziggy, so Amp had to help Kit-Kat finish it. an ice beam and hyper beam and the battle was over
I left the gym and healed up, then i went to stevens house and got dive from him. I also went to the fishing dudes house and got the super rod, where i got a sharpedo and wailmer. I taught them the required hms and went to sotopolis and the underwater cave. I quickly got through the cave and battled maxie, who died pretty easily. Then groundon awoke and archie came. we teleported out of the cave and i surfed back to mossdeep and grabbed tropius and flew to sotopolis. I entered the cave of orgin and got to groundons layer. I entered the battle with him and he took out both Ziggy and Kit-Kat. Luckily, they did a good amount of damage to him so Amp could finish it with hyper beam. I flew back to the fossil maniacs house nd got dig, following jdthebuds advice and giving it to zangoose. I battled the interviewers and got enough money to buy enough coins to buy thunderbolt, and i taught it to Kit-Kat. I flew back to sootopolis, and i entered the gym...
After getting through the mazes i was at wallace. I started with Ziggy and took his luvdic out with 2 headbutts. I did the same thing with his whiscash, taking a little bit more headbutts, and the same for his sealo, except the sealo actually gave me some damage. So when he sent out his seaking, i sent out my trump card, Kit-Kat and knocked it out. And, his final pokemon, Milotic, i paralyzed it first shot, and took about 3 more to finish it. Beat wallace. Almost done with this leg...
I went to victory road and made it past everything. I was about to leave, then wally showed up. I beat him easily, then started to grind to level 50, everyone got there except Slasher. I put Amp as my lead and entered the leagues doors.
Sydney was really easy. I just had amp use screech and brick break on all of his pokes and they fainted, except for his sharpedo, i had Kit-Kat use thunderbolt and it died in 2 shots
Phoebe was kind of difficult. She gave Kit-Kat some trouble with her first dusclops, so i switched and had Ziggy kill it. Her bannetes died by Kit-Kats faint attack, and sabeleye died by Amps earthquake. The last dusclops almost died to Kit-Kats faint attack, but it got the last hit on her, so Amp finished it with earthquake.
Glacia was pretty hard. She took down everyone except for Ziggy. I started with Amp using brick break, 2 shots for her first glaile. Then about 4 for her first sealo. I used Kit-Kat to take out her second sealo and Amp to take out the second glalie. I used screech to take out some of her walreins defense, and the walrein took out each of my pokes, them only getting one or 2 shots at it. It only had a small bit of health left, so Ziggy headbutted it, got a critical, and it was done. 3 down, 2 to go..
Draco was easy at first. Kit-Kat used ice beam and took out all of his pokemon in a few shots. Then she lost all of her pp, so i switched with my hm slave, sharpedo and gave her an ether, she finished flygon, then slamance came. She was already halfway down on health, and dragon claw killed her in one shot. So i tried to get my level 46 Slasher to use swords dance, but she wasnt fast enough, she was left with some health so i had revive Kit-Kat. After slasher fainted, i sent Kit-Kat back out, and she fainted first shot again. So Amp went out, revived, died. Ziggy, heal, left half way so he used headbutt and hit it once but died by dragon claw last turn, slamance was a little over halfway, so Kit-Kat used ice beam and finished it. Champs next!
Steven was brutal.. I constantly restarted because of bad starts.. I froze skarmory first turn, thankfully, so i used a couple thunderbolts and it died. His next pokemon was armaldo so i had Ziggy use a few surfs and it died.. of course i had to use a max ether since it healed, but it still died. Next was claydol. I had to use a max elixir for Kit-Kat to get some PP so i blasted it with ice beam. Next was aggron. Easy for Amp. Used 2 earthquakes and he was done. Easiest one to kill by far. He sent cradily next, it took so long for Kit-Kat to kill it since i had to constantly spam ice beam.. and metagross.. I used up almost all of my hyper potions so i could get him to start struggling. it took way to long, i was about to give up. and even when he was struggling he was killing me. Thankfully his extreme attack from meteor mash was his own demise. Thank god for recoil.
My Final Team
Ziggy/Linoone
Level 51
-Slash
-Surf
-Mud Sport
-Headbutt
Ziggy was the most useful until the elite 4. He took out almost everything by himself. He shined against Wattson since he was the highest level and Wattson was total garbage. Even though he didn't fight much during the elite 4, he excelled when he was fighting. MVP of the adventure part.
Kit-Kat/Delcatty
Level 54
-Faint Attack
-Ice Beam
-Water Pulse
-Thunderbolt
Kit-Kat started off slow, but when she evolved, she started to show what she could do. Especially when she learned the game corner tm's. If she didn't have those, it would've made the elite 4 much harder. She did great during the elite 4. I honestly didn't expect much from her. The main reason I got her was because of the pokémon adventures manga.
Amp/Exploud
Level 52
-Hyper Beam
-Earthquake
-Screech
-Brick Break
Amp was excellent. When I started this run, it was between him, a whismur, and a slakoth. I chose whismur since its final evolution didn't waste a turn. He had excellent attack and took out mort of his opponents in a few shots. He did the best against the elite 4. He had the most action and was the strongest. The runner up was Kit-Kat, but he proved himself since he was in every battle and fainted at least one of their pokes. Elite 4 MVP
Slasher/Zangoose
Level 46
-Slash
-Crush Claw
-Sword Dance
-Dig
Slasher did great for the second half of the gyms. He was able to take them out in one shot, with help of swords dance. He did great, but i didn't feel like training him for the elite 4. I wish i did. It probably would have made it 10 times easier. But he good overall. He doesn't get the LVP award, since they all did the good enough.
Finished all of the 3rd legs of my current challenges! Now, i can focus on my poison challenge on platinum, then continue my other ones after it. Where i am right now on my poison challenge, currently training at iron island. I might post a major update tonight, if I'm in the pokemon mood at all tonight.
