Started Ruby leg of Ultimate Naormal Monotype Challenge. I though about doing this on Emerald so I wouldn't have to deal with Metagross, but...
Name: Norma
Rival: May
Starter: Treeko
- When I got Pokeballs, I caught a Zigzagoon and named him Lenny.
- Went through Petalburg Woods and into Rustboro.
- Caught a Taillow named Saul up north.
- Grinded Lenny to L17, then challenged Roxanne.
The Super Potions I pick up were useful here. Headbutt and Sand-Attack were the reasons for victory.
- Caught a Whismur named Bart.
- Taught Cut to Treeko.
- Went to Dewford and got Saul some training in Granite Cave. Taught Flash to Treeko.
- Challenged the gym.
Saul 2HKOed both Machop and Makuhita with Wing Attack. Saul took a Karate Chop from Machop, then got lucky when Makuhita's Arm Thrust only hit twice.
- Delivered the letter to Steven, teaching Steel Wing to Saul.
- Went to Slateport and delivered the Goods. Bart is so weak right now, he keeps fainting...
- Lenny evolved into Linoone.
- Headed north and saved in front of the Trick House.
