Mono-Type, Generation, Duo Challenge (Yes, once again!)
 
I was thinking about bringing this challenge back for a while, but I didn't want to if I wasn't gonna participate. I mean, if you're gonna make a challenge, it's common courtesy to participate. And I've been so hooked on The Legend of Zelda, so I haven't been into Pokemon much. But I'm feeling like I should pick it back up. ANYWAY. xD

Okay, for those that weren't around the first time I made this (about a year ago), the rules are simple. Pick a generation, any generation! That's right. I, II, III, or IV? Alright. Now type. Still with me? Now. Only two Pokemon of that type and from that generation! OH NOES!!

It's not impossible, though. Trust me. These are the same rules from last time, but with a few changes.

Important: Please only post in the thread to enter or update. PM/VM any questions to me. Thanks!

Rules:
-Only ONE generation, ONE type(dual types are okay), and TWO Pokemon. Doesn't matter if two people have the same type and generation entry, as long as their two Pokemon are different.

-No legendaries. Rotom is allowed, as I don't consider it a legendary.

-HM Slaves are permitted, as well are just randomly catching someone, but don't level them up.

-Action Replay/GameShark may be used to get certain Pokemon, but please tell me if you are doing this. PokeSav is not allowed.
Ex: Generation I, Grass, Vileplume and Victreebel(both are only obtainable afer nation dex)

-Only TWO Eggs may be traded, unless you need to trade multiple eggs for a specific gender. (Gallade, Froslass, etc.)

-For Pokemon with new evos that you want in your duo, just make sure you end the game with that duo.
Ex: Eevee + Eterna Forest = Leafeon
Roselia + Shiny Stone = Roserade
However, it is recommended that you do stone evolutions as early as possible. Friendship evolutions get the slide on this.

-Only PokeBalls may be used to catch wild Pokemon, including legendaries.

-Challenge ends after catching your version mascot(Dialga/Palkia/Giratina), defeating the Elite Four, and catching Heatran. And remember, guys, it's not a competition. Just simply a challenge. Some of us can go through the game in five seconds(like my sister), others take it slow, like myself. So no rush!

-For those who need Wi-Fi trades to get certain Pokemon, the challenge technically starts after obtaining the first badge.

-Once you choose your entry, you may not change it unless it is invaild.
Ex: Generation I, Water, Politoed and Golduck
Politoed is generation II, not I. However, you can do Poliwhirl and Golduck. Evolving is not required.

-Don't forget to post which game you're using!

-Have fun and post often! Just don't post spam, please.

I haven't decided my stuff yet, so I'll either post or edit this one when I figure it out. But rest assured, I will do this challenge.

Edit; Yes, I've made my decision! I'm going with...

Dodrio is gen. I. :( You can't use him for a generation IV challenge. Change the Generation or the Pokemon, otherwise I can't add you to the sign ups. And you need another Pokemon. :P

Alpha_Spike February 28th, 2010 5:11 PM

I got a question: If I have a huge collection of legendaries that I don't want to give up can I get them traded back into my game after I start again? I really don't want to part with my Arceus and Deoxys and such

Sydian February 28th, 2010 5:19 PM

Yeah, you can have them on the game, just don't use them please. :3 And just remember, you still do have to catch the version mascot and Heatran, even if those are in your legendary collection.

Yes, that's perfectly fine then. :) I don't blame you for wanting to preserve. Go ahead and start choosing your gen/type/duo. :o

Here's a quick update:

I hatched a male Snover and a male Snorunt, then I got a female Snorunt to hatch. I'm training them now against the first trainers in the game.

Gunn February 28th, 2010 8:25 PM

This seem fun for a challenge. :P I'm going with Steel type and I'm choosing Metagross for sure. I was gonna have Magnezone, but I don't want to do the whole Mt. Coronet thing. D:

If you want Metagross, you'll have to change to generation III. :( When I mean "generation", I mean the Pokemon released that generation.

Lucario's taken for a fighting challenge, so he's still up for grabs. :] And this is for DPPt, not Ruby.

Lol I know but I want to complete my ruby challenge before doing this one for platinum. >< But now Empoleon is gone. I was going to have Empoleon and Lucario...Hm...I'll think of something else but please keep Lucario for me for steel*begs*

Sydian February 28th, 2010 9:37 PM

It's fine to have Lucario for steel, I already told you. :P Have fun finishing Ruby.

I'm also training to level 15 before the 1st gym. Yes, I go through the game slowly, but trust me, over train while they're little. You won't regret it!

Pick a generation and that determines what pokemon your allowed to choose from. If you pick gen 1 then you can only chose from the first gen pokemon. gen 2 only those created during gen 2 and so on and so forth. Then you pick two pokemon of the same type so long as they aren't used by someone else for that type and then you play through until you capture Heatran

I will of course hack for them (if I manage it, otherwise I have a problem), and I'm going to have a ton of fun with Gardenia.

Ilixia March 1st, 2010 6:04 AM

Oh i just thought, do i need to have both pokemojn from the start, as ill have to wait to get Lucario the normal way. Can i just use Infernape till then (making it harder for myself i know)

mondays suck March 1st, 2010 6:18 AM

So, after dozens and hundreds of codes how to get a shiny level 100 Arceus with Hyper Beam, Blast Burn and Frenzy Plant or whatever else, I finally found one that lets different Pokemon spawn, a very strange one though. So, I got 493 Masterballs, dropped so many that it was Omanyte's number and then Omanyte spawned. Same for Rhyhorn. Very weird, but it worked. Of course, I didn't use the Master Balls) and caught them with Pokeballs instead. I got pretty lucky with the natures, Omanyte is Bashful, which is not good, but also not bad, and Rhyhorn got Adamant, which was the best thing that couldn happen. Not posting my team yet, a level 3 Omanyte and a level 2 Rhyhorn with standard movesets are anything but interesting.
Expect some more updates soon.

Amore March 1st, 2010 9:34 AM

About the Battle Tower thing....

On Diamond, Palmer's your 50th battle, whereas on Platinum, he's your 21st.

I think it should be have a streak of 21 in Battle Tower as one of the criteria.

Lol, this is gonna be fun...

-I'm weak to Bertha, and members of all 4 Elite 4 and Cynthia
-Palmer's Dragonite and Rhyperior have super-effective moves on me.
-Heatran could potentially OHKO Lucario.
-Dialga is only hit super-effective if Lucario runs Earthquake, AND it has a lower catch rate in Diamond.

Similar to last time except Arcanine instead of Charizard. I'll prepare some eggs on my Pearl save file and then post back here when I've started.

Ian Watkins March 1st, 2010 11:11 AM

By the way, before I start, am I allowed to evolve Gligar at any point, or does it have to stay as a Gligar?

I can answer this lol(I know I'm not the creator but I think hes still offline plus its good to help out). Since you picked the generation it came out in it has to stay as a gligar. Evolving it would make it a gen 4 Pokemon instead of gen 2

Ian Watkins March 1st, 2010 11:35 AM

Thanks Alpha!

And Sudeki, I do have two DS's. =3

One is my old, old DS that has a broken hinge that is falling off. xD
But it still works, so I use that for my trading. Right now I am breeding Skarmory and Gligar, and plan to trade them.

Also, if you want, I could try to help you get the Pokemon you want? If you have wifi.

Alpha_Spike March 1st, 2010 11:40 AM

I'm currently just waiting on a couple of trades then will be starting my challenge. I just wonder since my type is dragon and Trapinch is ground until it evolves at level 35 would that still be ok? I hope so otherwise its back to the drawing board

Yeah I got Wifi, But I would need to start a new save to be able to do this, and then I would Have nothing worth while to give you :/.
And Yes Alpha_Spike as long as the final evolution is the type's your going for, and you evovle it as early as you can. :p

Ian Watkins March 1st, 2010 11:55 AM

Sudeki, it's fine, I don't really want anything worthwhile. :)

What Pokemon do you want? I have access to anything that you can catch on Platinum.

Its not as bad at the start, but once alot of people join in, its gonna get annoying to newer people xD, (If everyones taking there favorites)

Amore March 1st, 2010 12:39 PM

Yeah, but....fine.

Someone's took Lucario aswell, so know what am i meant to do?Gliscor's been taken...

Guess i'll have to run with Bibarel and Clefable...


See?It just ruins it for people not being able to pick their faves!!!

I mean, the Fr/Lg monotype manages fine!(although I still haven't been credited with completing it)

Ian Watkins March 1st, 2010 12:51 PM

Allredy taken by Alpha_spike

and Amore you cant, Bibarel is gen 4 and clefable is gen 1

Plus youre not aloud to use the pokemon if some1 is allredy doing the same type and gen but if thay finsh i think thay become free agan (not shore tho)

Amore March 1st, 2010 12:58 PM

Well that's stupid, so i'm not doing this challenge.

Alpha_Spike March 1st, 2010 1:19 PM

Rules state that your allowed to use the same pokemon so long as its not for the same type. If someone used a Lucario for steel then you can't use it for steel etc etc. Though I think if someones using something like say a gen 2 evo of something like Gligar it would be ok to use Gliscor since its not a gen 2 but that would have to be spoken over with the creator. And yes I've already stated I'll be doing gen 3 dragon using Salamence and Flygon which evolve from Trapinch and Bagon

mondays suck March 1st, 2010 2:05 PM

I didn't even read the rule that Pokemon can only be used by one person, but... Since Rock types are unpopular as hell anyways, there will probably no one care about my choices.

Update:
So, after catching my Rhyhorn and Omanyte, I first had to get them up from level 2 and 3 to something actually decent. Omanyte only had Constrict for attacking, so this was not really fun. At level 7, it finally learned Bite. Since I have a type advantage against the most Pokemon that are common early on, I decided that was enough grinding and went to Jubilife. There, I finished some more stupid miniquests like delivering a package or getting a Pokeitch that I am not really going to use anyways... And, which is by far more important, I got the Hidden Power TM and taught it to Omanyte. When it turned out to be HP Fire, I was like "Hell Yes" (Well,actually I said "Jawohl" and not "Hell Yes", but that's pretty much the same anyways), since it covers my greatest weakness, Grass. Even before I got the TM, I already fought a Pokemon of this type, a Budew. It was only 1 or 2 levels below Rhyhorn, but it could barely 2HKO after a Growth and when it could have killed Rhyhorn, it used Growth again (it is proven again and again: the AI is stupid), so Rhyhorn could finish it off with Horn Attack. Rival fight was also not much of a problem, since I started (not even on purpose, just out of habit and because it's such a good slave) with Turtwig, so he got Chimchar. Some minutes later, i arrived at Oreburgh, clicked away some more long speeches, fought some Geodudes and then could finally challenge Roark. He was easy, since I have Omanyte. It OHKOd both the part-ground types, and Cranidos barely survived, used Leer, got a Potion, but still died that turn.

Next: Some first Team Galactic encounters, and then the dreaded Eterna City will already be getting closer.

Very good nature, even though I would have preferred Lightningrod ability since I will not get any recoil moves anyways, but since Electrics are common in double battles and Omanyte is weak to that type, Lightningrod would have been actually useful.
About the nickname: well, in rememberance of the good old times, I have been playing a bit of Spyro recently, and it did kind of inspire me to choose this nickname.

Again, the worse ability. I will not see much rain, but I definetely will suffer from critical hits. Nature is ok.
About the nickname: Because Omanyte is dead. Simple as that.

Oh i just thought, do i need to have both pokemojn from the start, as ill have to wait to get Lucario the normal way. Can i just use Infernape till then (making it harder for myself i know)
Yeah, that's fine. Just make sure you do end with Lucario and Infernape.

As for all these replies...umm...wow. I didn't think I'd get that many hits overnight. o.o It might take me a while to add that to the list...then again, you know who you are if you're in the challenge or not. But I do need to make sure no one's running the same duo.

Also, I beat Roark on the way home today and I'm getting ready for Valley Windworks.

Quote:

Rules state that your allowed to use the same pokemon so long as its not for the same type. If someone used a Lucario for steel then you can't use it for steel etc etc. Though I think if someones using something like say a gen 2 evo of something like Gligar it would be ok to use Gliscor since its not a gen 2 but that would have to be spoken over with the creator. And yes I've already stated I'll be doing gen 3 dragon using Salamence and Flygon which evolve from Trapinch and Bagon
No, you would have to stick with Gligar. That's the whole point in picking a generation. Even with all the new evos, you'd have to only choose one. Gliscor was released in the 4th generation, so a gen. II flying challenge would disallow Gliscor.

Quote:

No, just use what you want, I'm sure the owner won't mind now there are so many people.
There are plenty of combinations to choose from. I'm going for something I don't really like too much. 4th generation isn't my favorite, ice types are meh, and I've never used Abamosnow (I've used Froslass though). So this duo is weird to me. They work fantastically, though.

Also, thanks to all of you guys who helped explain the rules when I wasn't around. xD

Alpha_Spike March 1st, 2010 2:19 PM

I like this challenge to the most part lol only thing I'm not too sure about would be the limit on amount but I'm still willing to give it a try =) It should be fun. Though I must admit I'm not a big fan of Flygon or Salamence but they are the only gen in which two dragons co exist that I could find. Anyway I gotta wait on a couple of things before starting my challenge but hopefully will be able to start soon.

Sydian March 1st, 2010 2:22 PM

Well, I'm online now, and since I might get grounded, PM/VM me any questions while you can. I might not get grounded, but eh. All that'll happen is my computer getting taken away. I'll still do the challenge if it is gone. I mean...what else am I supposed to do? >_>

XD Make sure to use Cheryl to the best. Level Shellos up ALOT while still traveling with her in Eterna forest. Hm maybe someone needs Ice beam or something XD. Hopefully I can start my challenge by tomorrow or sometime soon

FIRST UPDATE

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dptr/dptr002.png
Player: Fire
Generation: I
Type: Fire
Duo: Ninetales and Arcanine
Version: Diamond
Play Time: 0:31

Okay, I'm using Generation I Fire Pokémon, specifically Ninetales and Arcanine. I got the eggs and two Firestones ready on my Pearl version, then began my adventure on Diamond. Started as the female character for a bit of variety, named her Fire, and the rival Water. Did the early game pleasentaries, picking Chimchar as my starter. Did the business with Rowan and Lucaas in the lab to retrieve my Pokédex, headed to the mart abd bought some Pokéballs. Caught three randomers and headed straight to the union room to retrieve my two eggs and the Pokémon holding the firestones. I walked around for a bit until the eggs hatched and immediately evolved them, so that they would learn moves that put them in good stead for the future. After that, I made my way back to the Sangdem Town pokémon centre to release the Pokémon that were holding firestones, gaining a few levels with Keeara along the way (the nickname I gave to Ninetales), and that's as far as I've got so far.

I'll periodically post updates as I do them. I'm not sure how much time I'll get to do it, but I enjoyed doing it last time so I'll do so again.

Alpha_Spike March 2nd, 2010 12:15 AM

Hey Horizon um don't want to burst your bubble but um it would have been better to not evolve them straight away lol Vulpix would have learned a lot more better moves then Ninetales: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Vulpix_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29#By_leveling_up http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ninetales_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29#By_leveling_up

But then thats just my thoughts cause I never use non damaging moves lol

Ilixia March 2nd, 2010 3:07 AM

--UPDATE1--

Ok got pretty far on my first day playing.
Started the game, named the character Ilixia and my rival Tristan. Did all the boring beginning stuff and picked Chimchar (obviously). As im not worrying about Lucario untill Iron Island I just set about training Chimchar and heading through the game. Beat Tristan outside Jublife at at somepoint along Route 203 Chimchar evolved into Monferno.
Cauught a Machop for initial HM slave and beat Roark quite easily. Healed and saved.

It's a challenge, sir. This was originally made to be different than all the mono-type/pokemon/whatever challenges, and pretty much throw them together. If Trapinch/Flygon is taken for both a dragon and ground type challenge, then yes, it's knocked out. If it's taken for only one, it's still up for grabs. We wouldn't want everyone running with the same team. If you want something where it's easier to pick your team, find another challenge. Don't complain about this one.

Anyway, I'm in Eterna Forest. No fancy updates for me til later when I can get some real game time in. Off to school. Smell ya later.

BenEary March 2nd, 2010 7:23 AM

I'll do a third gen grass challenge.

Nasty Plot on Ninetales and Fire Fang/Thunder Fang on Arcanine means evolving them straight away is the best thing to do for an in-game run anyway.

empty streets March 2nd, 2010 7:43 AM

I'm giving up on this challenge for personal reasons ^^
So the water/Empoleon/Gastrodon are free now.

Pokemonmasterkoen March 2nd, 2010 8:04 AM

and beated Roark very easy...
beat galactic in valley windworks. Now i'm on the way to eterna forest.
(My character name is Pokeman and my rival name is Damion.)

Ilixia March 2nd, 2010 12:38 PM

--UPDATE2--

From Oreburgh travelled up to Floaroma Town and the Windworks and ran Team Galactic out (Bug pokemon fail to my fire =D). Went through Eterna Forest, again making short work of the bugs and took the oppertunity of constant healing to do some training.
Arrived in Eterna City, replaced Machop with Bidoof as HM slave and taught it Rock Smash and Cut which i picked up from Cynthia
Then twas time for Gym 2, Monferno KO'd everything in 1 hit. After beating Gardenia taught Monferno Grass Knot and saved.

As far as I know, that one's free, so go ahead. I really need to update that first post so that people can know what's not available. :| Can't guarantee you'll all be in order of entry. xD

As for me, I'm in Wayward Cave and it was giving me a headache, so I'll pick the game back up later. Both CapriSun (Snorunt) and Obamasnow (Snover) are on level 30. I want them to be at least 35 before the fighting gym. Trust me, they'll need it. :|

First update:

Chapter 1: The Beginning
(Read in spoiler for story)
Spoiler:

After watching a tv show about Prof Rowan, my friend Barry wanted to head off and meet him. Just as Barry was about to enter the tall grass a voice called out to stop him, the voice we found out belonged to Prof Rowan. Shocked that we would do something reckless to get a Pokemon, Rowan decided to give us a Pokemon. I picked Chimchar and Barry got a Piplup. After a brief talk, Rowan left to his lab and me and Barry had a battle which I won. After resting at home for a bit I headed out to go thank Rowan but bumped into Barry who wanted to try catch the rumored Legendary Lake Pokemon though we soon realized we didn't have any Pokeballs. While at the lake we spotted an odd man, I wonder what hes doing..Well anyway I now headed to Rowan's lab to thank him. Upon arriving I was greeted by Dawn who took me into the lab. After a long talk Rowan gave me a Pokedex! So now my journey begins. After a quick run home to let my mum know what was happening, I proceeded towards Jubilife city. Just as I exited Sandgem I saw Dawn again and she taught me how to use pokeballs and even gave me 5! What a nice girl. I continued on my way and battled a few trainers before finally reaching Jubilife. Dawn showed me around and we saw another odd man, this one claiming to be a detective. After talking to the man, Dawn left and I went to the Pokemon school to deliver a parcel Barry's mother had asked me to give him. After he opened it he gave me the spare Town Map! I battled some trainers in the school and won a potion. I left Jubilife after getting a Poketch and headed for Orebuergh town. I caught some random pokemon on the way and upon arriving I traded with a friend to get a couple of eggs, these eggs are going to be my two main team. And now I'm watching for them to hatch before beginning my true training.


Events:
-Named myself Lucas and my rival Barry based on their anime counter parts
-Picked Chimchar as my starter
-Traded with Zan to get some of my Pokemon back and to get my eggs.
-Got a Poketch
-Beat Barry twice in one day.

Current team:
Egg
Egg
Chimchar
Arceus(only there for fateful encounter event to get Flame plate)
Geodude(going to use as a trade to get some of my pokes back)

Bird Trainer March 3rd, 2010 5:38 PM

I am having to withdraw filllllllllllleeeeeeerrrrrr

Sydian March 3rd, 2010 6:05 PM

Okay, I decided it was best to take out the one round of Battle Tower part of completion. No point in it since you only have two Pokemon trained up and you're required to use three/four. Yes, I'm aware of partnering, and I thought about it and scrapped that thought.

Thanks Zan, I didn't seem to catch that Raichu was gen. I when I posted that. So many people. xD But thanks.

Anyway, I got out of that abomination of a cave and helped Mira. Thank God. Now I'm almost to Hearthome and I'll ge levelling up to 35 (or higher) for Maylene's gym. This is gonna be a bumpy ride.

Alrighty then, I'm probably done for the night. I did do quite a bit though, in my standards.
http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh290/Blazikendude/Screens/Platinum%20Duo%20Challenge/Journal-Day2.png

What I did...hm. To start off, I passed through Route 205 with relative ease, taking advantage of the healing lady. Soon thereafter, I abused Cheryl to grind Madamoozel. Also, I changed Sir Ooze's name to Madamoozel, since Sir Ooze is actually a female. Then, I decided to challenge Gardenia, and made short work of her Gym Trainers thanks to Hidden Power. :) Gardenia, however, didn't go down so easy. I had to try her 2 or 3 times before I finally beat her.


After I beat her, I made my HM Slave useful yet again.


Then I went in and completely raped Jupiter and her lackeys. I went and fought the trainers on Route 211, when this happened.


I just now went back to Oreburgh Gate to get Flash and make my life in Wayward Cave a little easier. I guess next I'll go explore the Old Chateau, and then it's off to Route 206.

New Update:

Chapter 2: Time to rock....Trouble at the windworks.
(Again major story part in spoiler and events after)

Story:
Spoiler:
After receiving the eggs from my friend, I proceeded to run around Oreburgh until they hatched. It didn't take long for the first egg to hatch into a charming looking Female Trapinch which I named Colt. Happy with my new partner I continued my many laps of Oreburgh, an exhausting feat I must say. But in the end it was worth it as the second egg hatched a Female Bagon which I named Seful. Having my two partners at the ready I proceeded to train them, even going so far as to return to Jubilife and train around there. After much time training my two friends were ready for a gym battle, so I returned to Oreburgh. I went to enter the gym but remembered the advice Barry gave me so dropped by the Mine first, where I met Roarke and he explained Rock Smash to me. After doing so he left to the gym, closely followed by me. Once inside the gym I saw two trainers and figured I'd use them as extra training. Defeating them with ease using only Seful, I proceeded to the battle stage of the gym where Roarke was waiting for me. With a grin we began our battle, Roarke sending out a Geodude and me sending out Seful. Sadly by using Rock Polish, Geodude just defeated Seful but was too weak to handle Colt. After using Earthquake, Colt defeated Geodude. Seeing I had beaten his first Pokemon, Roarke sent out his Cranidos. I got Colt to use Earthquake but wasn't fast enough to beat Cranidos and lost the match. After healing my Pokemon I returned to the gym, ready for a rematch. After many close calls I defeated Roarke and earned myself the Coal Badge. Happy with my winning I left Oreburgh and bumped into Barry, though it was a brief encounter. After a long walk and a good training session I returned to Jubilife only to find some weird guys pestering Dawn and Rowan, they oddly dressed the same as the guy from the lake. After much arguing Rowan asked me and Dawn to battle the guys, who call them selves Team Galactic. Teaming up with Dawn we easily beat them, causing them to run scared. Ha! That will teach them to mess with us right? Well after the battle Dawn and Rowan left back to the lab and some guy from the tv station came and spoke to me. He gave me an item, meant to help my Pokemon with their fashion or something. After a quick visit to the Pokemon Center I left and headed to Floaroma Town, though there was trouble in the flowery paradise. Team Galactic it seems has taken control of the Windworks. Figuring I could help, I proceeded to the windworks and defeated the grunt that was guarding the door. After my victory he ran inside and locked me out! How rude! So I headed back to Floaroma and found two other grunts pestering a man about honey. I defeated them with ease having Seful help. They ran so fast they dropped a windworks key, an item I knew would help me get into the windworks and sort out this problem. I returned to the windworks and defeated all the grunts before encountering the Commander, a woman named Mars. Odd name for a person but doesn't matter. She challenged me to a battle and sent out a Zubat, which Seful made easy work of. After defeating her Zubat, Seful leveled up. But from the battle with Zubat, Seful was poisoned badly. So I switched to Colt when Mars sent out her Purugly which went down after two Earthquakes from Colt. Having rescued the windworks from Team Galactic I returned to my journey and headed to Eterna Forest where I met a girl named Cheryl. She offered to travel with me and keep my Pokemon healthy, something I couldn't refuse. Deciding it best, I trained with Cheryl for many hours getting ready for the upcoming gym battle...

--UPDATE3--

Another Gym another update...
The route from Eterna to Veilstone is long, so plenty of time for training.

After defeating Gardenia used Bidoof's Cut to get into the Team Galactic building. Battled my way through to encounter Jupiter, who was quickly dispatched. The man i saved was so happy he gave me a bike!

Using my new bike travelled down the cycle path, battling the trainers on the way and ventured into the Wayward Cave where i met Mira and used her to help me train. Monferno eveolved into Infernape. Will return with Strength to get Earthquake.

Went south back to Oreburgh Gate and used my bike to reach TM31 Brick Break which i taught to Infernape

Travelled through Mt. Coronet to reach Hearthome City, but wasnt able to challenge the Gym leader yet so went West, beating Tristan along the way. Caught a Bibarel to replace Bidoof as HM slave. Ignored the Lost Tower for now as i thought it would be a good place to return with Lucario.

Nothing much to do in Solaceon, explored the ruins a bit then continued North and West and eventually ended up in Veilstone. FINALLY! Did the usual city exploration then went to challenge the Gym.
Although i had no effective moves against Fighting Types my lvl is so much higher against the pokemon here i KO'd everything in 1 hit, even Maylene. Machoke are Firly heavy so Grass Knot took care of those and Lucario's Steel subtype is weak to my Fire. Saved.

Current team:

Lvl. 45 Infernape
Bashful Nature
- Close Combat
- Grass Knot
- Flame Wheel
- Brick Break

--UPDATE4--

Ok im getting a tad bored now so im trying to get Lucario as fast as possible, which means getting surf as fast as possible, so im avoiding trainers (for now, ill return when training up Lucario) to get the the gyms i need first.

After beating Maylene i ran into that other kid whose name i cant remember, anyway he had lost his Pokedex so we went to get it back. After defeating some Galactic grunts i picked up Fly.

Headed south, avoiding trainers but picking up a Wingull and teaching it Fly, untill i reached Pastoria City. Entered the Safari to get Defog and then challenged the Gym. This was the gym i was dreading but by now i was so high level there still was no challenge. The only one of Wakes pokemon i didnt take out in one hit of Grass Knot was Gyarados (thaks to his Flying subtype) who managed to get a bite in before fainting next turn. Saved

Team:

Lvl. 47 Infernape
Bashfull Nature
- Close Combat
- Grass Knot
- Flame Wheel
- Brick Break

--Update5--

ok so this Update after each gym has its downsides when 3 of them are so close together -.- Anyway should be las update for a while as im now off to go get/train Lucario, which will take a while

So after beating wake i went to go stalk a Galactic member, beating Traistan again in the process, untill i could finally battle him and talk to Cynthia. She gave me a cure for the Psyduck's headache so i flew to Solaceon Town and headed up to Cure them.

Headed up to Celetic Town, battling only those trainers i couldnt avoid, where an old woman told me to defeat a Galactic Grunt: i did as i was asked and she gave me Surf as thanks. I immediately taught it to Bibarel

Now i flew back to Hearthome City as i could now challenge Fantina. She wasnt to difficult Gengar and Mismagius both went down in 1 Flame Wheel and Drifblim in 2 (although its Aftermath nearly killed me)

Now i can go to Iron island and get my Lucario egg, though its got alot of catching up to do -.-

Team:

Lvl. 51 Infernape
- Close Combat
- Grass Knot
- Flame Wheel

Chapter 3: An Eterna problem
Story:
Spoiler:
After spending ages training with Cheryl, I left the Eterna forest. Just before we left Cheryl gave me an item as a sign of our friendship, a soothe bell. With memories of my training still in hand I rushed to the gym only to bump into Gardenia standing outside the gym awaiting a new challenger. Apparently Barry had spoken with her and informed of my coming. After a quick chat Gardenia informed me that I could only battle her if I beat all trainers in her gym! Well this will add to my training I thought so hurried inside to find the first trainer. After a rather rough battle the first trainer fell to the might of my Seful. I was so proud but Seful was injured so I rushed to the Pokemon Center to heal. After Nurse Joy returned my friends I returned to the gym and quickly took down the remaining trainers with ease, Seful was making me so proud. Having beaten the trainers I thought I was ready for Gardenia...But she managed to defeat me using her Roserade. Not letting it get me down I returned to the gym and challenged her again, this time I took her Roserade down in one hit with Earthquake! After accepting defeat, Gardenia gave me my second badge. I earned a Forest Badge! Happy with myself I returned to the Pokemon Center and healed, Also withdrew a Buneary. I proceeded north and bumped into Barry who took me to look at the Eterna statue. As we got there we saw the same strange man from the lake, He was talking to the statue. After the man left, Barry claimed he new the most unbeatable strategy. I doubt it will work but I'd love to see it. After Barry left I went behind the statue and nearly tripped over an item. It looks just like that plate I was given in Oreburgh. I stuffed it in my bag with the other plate and returned towards Eterna, where I bumped into a pretty girl names Cynthia. She gave me an HM and told me to keep at my quest to be the best. Somehow I new she was a nice person. After she left I taught Buneary Cut from the HM then headed into a shady looking building. I had heard rumors of stolen Pokemon being seen in the area. After finding my way upstairs I encountered another Galactic Commander, this one named Jupiter. With expert skill and great teamwork my friends easily defeated her Pokemon and Team Galactic left. The owner of the bike shop was so happy I saved his Pokemon that he gave me a free bike! Now I can head out of Eterna. I climbed on the new bike and started towards the south gate, my journey still ongoing in the world of Pokemon.


Events:
-Beat Gardenia and earned the Forest Badge.
-Obtained Cut and a Draco plate.
-Defeated Team Galactic.
-Got a free bike.

Seful/Bagon
