Cid May 20th, 2010 6:27 AM

Wow. An unexpected hiatus on my part. Haven't continued my solo run since my last update.
Decided to only update when I beat the game, and that last update would be short and straight to the point.

Anyway, good luck with your own solo runs, guys.

blue May 20th, 2010 6:45 AM

Still can't beat Roxanne >.>

Fire Wolf May 20th, 2010 8:56 AM

Umm just grind Swellow up more? Or if I were you, I'd start using Double Team six times and then Wing Attack repeatedly. I used a similar strategy with Qwilfish by using Minimize.

* Gym Update!

Reached Lavaridge town and took on ALL the trainers in the gym leaving me with low HP however, still attempted Flannery but lost because I had VERY low hp and Torkoal used overheat & wing attack missed >.>. 2nd try, won easily, with hardly NO health lost!


Obtained the Heat Badge & TM 50 (Overheat)

*Next Update @ Petalburg Gym!

(SWELLOW IS ALMOST LEVEL 70 AND I ONLY HAVE 4 BADGES!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Gym Update!

So, I reached Petalburg city and enterd the gym, took on all of the trainers (I think) it was hard to figure out considering there was lots of doors, finally reached Dad with Low HP. Defeated his first 2 Pokemon easily, Slaking was more of a challenge as it kept using yawn and facade which wasn't good at all, but I won by a little bit with only a small amount of HP left, Obtained the Balance Badge & TM 42 (Facade)

Defeated Norman (Dad) - Swellow Lv 66!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Gym Update!

Reached Fortree City, had to go meet Steven on the bridge to obtain the Scope lense (I think it's called) and clear the invisible Kecleon blocking the path to the gym. Enterd the gym and took on all the trainers, beat them easily, reached Wiona, Easily took out Pelliper & Tropius, then she sent out Skamory which was difficult (Defeated me twice) with it's resistance to flying type moves >.>, 3rd time lucky I got a critical hit and defeated it, Altaria last, used Dragon dance 4 times, I used aerial ace 4 times and won :P,

Defeated Wiona :) (Toughest leader so far by a mile)

I went over and got through Rock Tunnel. Uh EASILY. John pwned everyone as most of them were Rock and Normal types. So I got out of Lavender town the went to Cealdon City and beat the gym. I found a Rocket Grunt standing by a poster saying he was guarding it. But Hey! I wanted to see about Cycling Road! Then he sent out a Pokemon and challenged me. Very foolish. I pwned him.

So I beat all the grunts without leaving to heal and still having near perfect HP. Then I got a lift Key from a grunt who dropped it and I went to the lift and went to Base B4. Then there was Giovanni. Easy Smeezy. 1 hit KO for his first two Pokemon. Then an 2 hit for his kangaskan.When he left he dropped a Silph Scope. So I took it and Went to the Pokemon Tower. I got the the 2nd to top floor and when I was about to climb the stairs a ghost appeared! The Silph Scope identified it as the Markowak the Rockets killed. Mr Fuji took me to his house after I met him and he gave me a Pokeflute.

I went to Cycling road and found a idol's house. She gave me HM Fly so I would leave. I went outside and wait! A Snorlax is blocking the entrance. I started playing the Pokeflute and it Woke up and attacked. It was easy to defeat. So I beat all the trainers at Cycling road then all the trainer on the alternative route to Fuchia City. Then to make sure I beat all the trainers on Cycling road I went to Cealdon again. And I noticed I needed a move for Grass types. So I got Ice Beam from the Game Corner. Then I got some tea from an old lady. I decided to let it cool down after I beat Koga.

I went to the gym and feeled my way around until I got to Koga. Hardest gym yet. He almost won by poisoning John. I had to heal every other turn. He almost got me. I found out the next gym was in Saffron so I went to the gates and found out It was closed. But the guard was thirsty and said I could go if I let him have my tea. He told the other guards to let me around from now on. Awesome.

I walked out of the gates of Saffron and found something I didn't like. Rocket grunts. Everywhere.I went to the Dojo and fought my way through. Then I got a Hitmonchan. Then I found Silph Co. The guard for there was snoozing! Ha! I walked right in and saved.
