    Well, i suddenly stopped this a long time ago, and now i finally get to say:

    I quit 2 of my 3 ultimates.

    I've completed Kanto and Johto with Bug

    I've completed Kanto with Normal

    And i'll now officially go on with my Water ultimate where i've already beat Kanto, Johto and Hoenn (Stopped posting Hoenn after #3 gym, but completed it afterwards) and will now start Platinum

    Could this be recorded on the first post please? :D

    So you want me to put you on the champion list for RBY Normal and Bug, and GSC Bug? Its no problem, just making sure I understand right.

    Roflroflrofl. Also yes, Electrode is a very bad choice. He's a little better once he can learn Rollout.

    Yea, that what i meant :D
    I'll probably do the rest of the bug one someday, but if im done with all the bug ones In the singles, does it then count as a Ultimate complete? i will be doing them in order anyway, but with gaps between

    Yep it does! But try to do them as in order as you can. I've done all 15 of the RBY ones, and now I've done about half of the GSC ones, but if I wanted to do like the Sapphire Grass and Pearl grass, it would still count for an ultimate. I'll add you to the single list now.

    After roasting Morty, I went into Burned Tower and caught me a Magmar. :/ Then I realized it'd be a valuable HM slave... So training it takes backseat. Gave the Miltank lots and lots o' berries, and got some milk for it. Trained up the lighthouse, and started across the sea. >.< Cursed Water types! Flareon must have really good Sp. Def, because it repeated survived Surfs I thought it wouldn't. :) Made it to Cianwood, scared off Suicune and battled Eusine. Finally, I attacked Chuck's Gym. The Trainers were a little difficult, but Fighting-types really don't like being burned. :) Challenged Chuck. I took down his Primeape with a lucky critical on Lava Plume. Then came Poliwrath, the part I was dreading. I burned it with Vulpix, who promptly ate a Surf to the face. T.T Then I sent out Cyndaquil, expecting it to die, too.

    Except... Poliwrath didn't Surf. It Focus Punched.... TEN TIMES. Every single time it failed. By the time he got around to Surfing, it was far too late. Flareon finished up Poliwrath handily!

    Headed back across the sea the long way, since I stupidly didn't catch anyhting capable of Flying. :/ Corrected my error on the other side by catching a Farfetch'd.

    Current team:
    Flareon (Izanami) Lv. 29
    Vulpix Lv. 31
    Cyndaquil (Izanagi) Lv. 35 (Two more levels until evolution!)
    Gyarados HM Slave
    Farfetch'd HM Slave
    Magmar Lv. 20 (Currently HM slave, may change to actual team member later.)

    Now to broil Jasmine!

    Why aren't you evolving Cyndaquil til he learns Flamethrower? Typhlosion learns Flamethrower 5 levels higher than him, but Typhlosion also has way more than 15 more special Attack than Cyndaquil, so Typhlosions Lava Plume will be stronger than Cyndaquil's Flamethrower, as will all his other stats.

    Edit: In dark, I'm up to Tate and Liza. Shouldn't be hard at all with two shadow ball sableyes and faint attack.

    Continuation from...

    Spoiler:

    - Well now I'm in Lilycove City.
    - I'm seeing a lot of Magma Team members around. These guys just dont get tired of it dont they.
    - I started surfing and these damn Wailmers were in the way.
    - Also I find out the Team Magma's Hideout, these guys are real morons.


    - I came back to Lilycove and saw May. This girl keeps following me around.
    - She talks about that she thinks I'm not raising my Pokemon properly. I beat her like 4 times in a row.
    - She said she like to see me angry. Then we battle. I won of course.
    Spoiler:

    - Whatever she kept talking about her PokeDex. Obnoxius.
    - I went to route 122. First I went trough route 123 without knowing that that will lead me back to Route 118. Then to Fortree City.
    - I decided to hit the Gym. It was actually pretty easy.
    - The team before face the leader.
    Spoiler:


    - Carvanah died with an Aerial Ace.
    Swampert beat Swallow with a couple Take Downs
    Same story for the Gym Leader's Pelipper.
    Skarmory wasn't so affected with Take Down, but he was with Water Gun, altough Swampert won, he just had 4 HP left.
    Altaria used Dragon Breath first and finished Swampert.
    Gyarados won with Twister, then Surf, then Dragon Ragex2
    Spoiler:


    - I entered MT. Pyre after flying to Lilycove City.
    I found Team Magma members. The wild pokemon that dont let me escape are more of a challenge than this guys.
    I defeat them and the old lady gave me the Red Orb.
    - I start fighting the other trainers in the graveyard. And Carvanah evolved into Sharpedo.
    Spoiler:


    - Now onto Slateport City. Team Magma took the submarine. I wen to Team Magma's base.
    I defeat every of them faggy ass rookies and took all of the items. Then had to defeat the Admin.
    The boss escaped and in the admin I found a Magma member that didnt tell his plans stupidly.
    - The sea was now free to ride trough.
    After defeating the guys in Route 124 (I dont know If everyone, Sharpedo was fainted so I decided go first to the CP).
    Then I arrived to Mossdeep City. Steven gave me Dive. I also obtained a Super Rod.
    - I fish a while and found a Wailmer. Catch him.
    Spoiler:


    - Time to face the gym. Apparently those psychic pokemon are weak to Bite.
    Battle agains the leaders Tate and Liza with a Z.
    Spoiler:

    Spoiler:


    - One more badge and then we will be ready for the Elite.
    - I taught Wailmer Dive.
    - I just Dive a lil bit and found the Seafloor Cavern where was the Submarine that Team Magma stole.
    - This Magma rookies were a good chance to level Wailmer up.
    - Then Maxie wants to fight me, I of couse end up winning, like always.
    - So Groudon woke up, apparently Maxie didnt think this plan trough. Archie came and we all get the hell out of there.
    I didnt have no sun block on and the sun was hot as hell. I saw Steven he said something about Sotopolis, so I decided to go there.
    - I've not only found a place that reminded me of Greek and Atlantis but also the last gym.
    Spoiler:


    - I enter the Cave Of Origin, and no one of my Pokemon knew Flash and couldn't learned it so I walked in the dark.
    - It was OK, except that I may not find some items. Anyway I found the last HM. (I think is the last one)
    - Suddenly that red Groudon wanted to battle me. I have a Master Ball. But he was not only a legendary pokemon but also not water.
    Besides it was better for him to rest in peace. So I beat his ass. He beat my first three pokemon (Wailmer, Pelipper and Sharpedo)
    But Gyarados beat him with Dragon Rage.
    - I saw all kind of pokemon on the bottom of the sea and it was time to think about my sixth pokemon. I didnt have no idea which one I wanted.
    But the I tought that I really like Starmies since the first Pokemon TV Show. So I did research and then fly to Lilycove, fish with my Super Rod.
    And I caught a Staryu. Now I needed a Water Stone.
    Spoiler:


    - So I took a look at a tutorial to find a Red Shard and then I traded with Hunter for a Water Stone.
    - Then I used it. Yeah, no patience whatsoever.
    Spoiler:


    - I went to the GYM of Sootopolis. He uses water type pokemon.
    Poor guy whom plays this challenge in this game with a fire team.
    - The trainers had high level pokemon, they didnt defeat mine but leave them with red HP.
    They just get to faint my LV28 Starmie.
    It wasnt so easy but I could win the matches.
    - It was hard but I won, not thanks to Starmie, Wailmer or Sharpedo.
    Actually Gyarados practically was the one who take care of anyone, he and some Hyper Potions that I used on him.
    Spoiler:


    - Now I think I'm ready for the Pokemon League, The Elite Four, whatever is next.
    Spoiler:


    -It took me a lot of surfing to discover how to get to Ever Grande City.
    Note: The only time I play Ruby besides this I never went to Ever Grande. So I'm kinda excited.
    - So far. Victory Road is a b**ch. The first trainer had a LV44 Roselia that beat my weak water pokemon.
    I really have to train a lot in here to get Starmie, Sharpedo and Wailmer to a high LV.
    (Besides I think most of the pkm on Victory Road are rock or sand, that will make it easier)
    So I'm aiming to train in Victory Road until they all get between 45-50 LV.
    - Besides I'm gonna keep on buying Protein and that stuff.

    Then I will kick the Elite Four's ass.
    The team by now

    So, I beat the Kanto leg of my Fighting UMC (which was surprisingly quick). I will begin my Johto leg now, which I know will be the longest since it will take me a while to make my way all the way up to Red, and then beat him. I'll try to be more descriptive and have more updates of my battles in the upcoming games, since I didn't know this one would pass by so quickly. Anywho, here's my entire journey in Kanto, without making it too long though:

    Spoiler:


    And that's my Kanto leg of the journey! Onto Johto, hooray! Also, here's some pics I took during the game (I'll edit more in later, having technical difficulties right now).

    Poison Update:

    Golbat evolved! Tentacool Evolved!
    Beat Winona quite easily with Shock Wave + Ice Beam on Swalot.
    I don't remember doing anything else, so I probably saved there and quit. I definitely didn't get to Mt. Pyre.
