The Breakfast Challenge

HeartGold Breakfast:
~Part 2- Breakfast for Dinner?!?!
-I start out in Bellsprout tower and battle my way to the top! The bellsprout gave me a ton of exp!
-I decide to battle Falkner and won easily!
-I find the life saving rock smash HM! Shuckle, my least favorite pokemon as of now, could learn a fighting move! yaaay! no more bide!
-I grind my pokemon all to level 13
-After saving some slowpoke, I challenge the gym
-My nosepass and his rock throw saved the day in every battle.
-I made quick work of Bugsy
~DINNER!!!
-my rival, Dinner has a bayleef. Me, being the kind of guy who needs his pokemon to all have the same level otherwise he has a nervous breakdown, continuously heals Shuckle in attempts to level him up! However, Constrict, Bide, Withdraw, and Rock Smash vs. Synthesis and razor leaf could mean a long battle! so, after 5 minutes of battling bayleef, I switch my sneasel in because I have no patience whatsoever. Sneasel makes quick work of his other pokemon with faint attack!
-Caught some Farfetch'd! (I would've ran away too if I was stuck with that guy!) :P
-Now, I have a level 17 sneasel, 15 shuckle, 16 surskit, 16 nosepass, and 16 mantyke!
-currently suffering from DLC (different level syndrome!!!) :P

-Started game, chose girl sprite because I like the girl one better in Gen III, named self Alissa because that's the name I always give my girl characters in the games... and started my journey.
-Did all the beginning stuff, chose Treecko as my starter.
-Battled my rival, won.
-Did more beginning stuff.
-Arrived in Petalburg.
-Helped Wally catch his Pokemon.
-Headed for Rustboro. Had first encounter with Team Magma grunt on the way.
-Arrived in Rustboro.
-Forgot that Skitty was available in the route adjacent so challenged the gym leader with my starter. (My apologies, it was an honest mistake. D: )
-Headed to help the guy get his Wingull back.
-Ran into a Skitty, caught Skitty.
-Headed for Dewford.
-Caught Zubat and Mawile.
-Did a LOT of grinding to prepare Zubat to take on the gym leader.
-Trained Zubat to Lvl 19 and challenged Brawly. The win was tough, but with a few potions, I managed to pull it off. (Also, why does it take so long for Zubat to learn Wing Attack? I gave up even trying for it and just hoped for the best. D: ) I lost to Brawly three times, though.
-Headed for Slateport.
-Did everything in Slateport.
-Battled rival. I lost the first time, so did more grinding to train my Zubat until he evolved into Golbat.

Tachi's Fire Red Log Pt 1:
I started off my journey by heading to the Oak pokemon lab, none of the Pokemon he was handing out appealed to me, but I took a Bulbasaur anyway, why? Because I can. (And because it learns the most HMs)

From there I headed North to Viridian City where an old man was passed out in the middle of the road, preventing me from continuing...damn. I headed to the Pokemart in the hopes of purchasing some supplies, instead I was told to deliver a package to professor Oak. Sure, why not? It might be a nice waste of time until that old geezer wakes up.

I returned to Pallet Town and gave Oak his package, in return I got a Pokedex and some Pokeballs. Great! Oak's grandson Gary showed up to be an annoying jerk...I left as soon as possible to avoid spending more time near him than necessary.

I headed back to Viridian City and to the West where I found something interesting, a Mankey. I'll definitely end up using this! After a couple of tackles from Bulbasaur the Mankey was weak enough to catch, and so Yuuko the Mankey joined my team. (Woo! Adamant Mankey on the first encounter!)

After some training, my Pokedex informed me that Yuuko had reached level 8, I figured we were ready at this point to continue through route 22. Unfortunately that jerk Gary was there, he told me I'd need gym badges to continue and demanded a battle. Even with his Pidgey playing dirty (I hate Sand Attack!...Unless I'm using it.) he was no match for Yuuko.

Continuing north to find a gym, the old man from earlier was awake. He wasted both of our time with some lecture about how to catch pokemon, since I'd boxed Bulbasaur before coming this way I guess he just assumed Yuuko was my first pokemon.

Now I'm standing before the Viridian Forest...which is full of b-b-bug types...-gulp-

Erm, I think I'm gonna take a break and continue my journey later.

Current Team:
Yuuko/Mankey Lv.9

Tachi's Fire Red Log Pt 2:

After a little break to gather my co- I mean, prepare...yeah. We headed into the forest, it was...fairly uneventful, we found a couple of items that I guess weaker trainers left while fleeing from the horrible, evil denizens of this place and encountered some fairly weak bugs, I guess I underestimated Yuuko. After we exited I checked my dex again, apparently Yuuko'd gone up 3 "levels" according to it.

We entered Pewter City, home of the first gym. After a quick trip to the pokemon center to rest up after running the gauntlet through that forest we headed to the gym. Inside we found two trainers, a kid who couldn't tell the difference between 5 meters and 10,000 light years and the leader, Brock. He seemed like a nice guy, it's a little weird that he kept his eyes closed the entire time I was there, I wonder why...in any case, he said I'd have to battle for the badge and Yuuko was happy to oblige. His first pokemon, a geodude fell in two Karate Chops, given the power my 'dex said it had and the fact that it's super effective I think I might have to grab one of those things for my team when I get the chance. His second, an Onix, performed far less impressively, being KO'd by a single low kick from Yuuko. Brock reluctantly handed over a badge and the TM for Rock Tomb. He also told me I'd need to go east through Mt. Moon [where I could catch a geodude of my own!] to reach the next gym in Cerulean City.

As I headed off, I encountered one of professor Oak's aides, he gave me a pair of running shoes and a note from my mother wishing me luck. I put the new shoes on and headed to the next route, spying a number of -shudder- bug catchers standing around, I decided to teach Yuuko that TM move that Brock gave me. With this new move under her belt Yuuko made quick work of all the trainers on the route.

We entered Mt. Moon and quickly found what we were looking for, Terra the Geodude joined the team. (Ugh, Calm...I could probably keep looking for one with a better nature, but I'd feel like I was cheating)

I doubt anyone wants to read about me training Terra until she's at the same "level" as Yuuko, so I'm going to end this entry here.

Current Team:

Yuuko/Mankey Lv.17

After getting the dex and the balls I hacked in alakazam, typhlosion, yanma, and spheal. I went and had my optional rivaal battle just to get the exp. I headed through the viridian forest. "Lol lets spam string shot" I swear all the bug catchers in that area got together and decided thats what they were gonna do. Anyways after that I headed into the pewter gym. Showed some kid who was boss, then set my sights on brock. After loss against brock (hadnt healed properly before hand) I collected myself and headed back over there healed up and ready to fight. This time it was a much quicker much more one sided match as my alakazam dominated over his geodude and onix. I made it through my least favorite part in the game, Mt.Moon. I don't know why I detest mt moon so much, I just do. Anyways, I made it to cerulean and quickly challenged misty. A fairly easy battle, the only pokemon that gave me trouble was starmie but yanma finished it off for me. I challeneged the nugget bridge with virtually no contest from anybody in there. Not even my rival could stop me. After meeting bill like Cid had said, I got the SS Anne ticket and headed to vermillion city. I healed up in vermillion then boarded the massive cruise liner. I fought all the trainers on the ship just because I can and wanted the exp then got cut after another easy battle with cid. I headed off the ship and I'm going to challenge Lt.Surge soon.

Tachi's Fire Red Log Pt.3:

After getting Terra up to speed we headed back into Mt. Moon where we encountered members of a group calling themselves "Team Rocket". I think I'd heard of them on the news, something about terrorists who use pokemon to do their dirty work...and they weren't messing around. The first grunt I encountered had his [or maybe some poor trainer's] Sandshrew throw dirt in my, Yuuko and Terra's eyes while his Rattata and Zubat tried to steal all my items and Terra and Yuuko's pokeballs[!] in the confusion...fortunately, he underestimated Terra and Yuuko, who proceeded to make quick work of his team. Coward. The second tried the same thing with an Ekans and Zubat...minus the throwing dirt bit, Terra proceeded to pummel him and his pokemon. We encountered two more grunts, neither of whom strayed from the "attack the trainer and act surprised when his pokemon come to the rescue" formula. Near the exit of the cave we found a hysterical fossil fanboy who insisted on battling us for the rights to a couple of fossils, I just wanted him to get his fossils out of the way so we could get past, but he wasn't listening. One brief beatdown later I was one dome fossil richer and out of that cave.

Outside we saw a pair of martial artists arguing over whether punches or kicks were better. After sucking up to both of them I convinced them to teach their ultimate techniques, the imaginatively named "Mega Kick" and "Mega Punch" to Yuuko and Terra respectively.

Finally we reached Cerulean City and the next gym.

-Surskit and headbutt are not compatible......

-....................
-WHAAAAT?!?!
-Surskit, the one pokemon who is almost as weak as shuckle can't learn a move that could help me actually stand a chance against a weaker wild pokemon?! REALLY??? ugghhhh....
-well, I guess I shall carry on.... >:(
-Yaaay for the daycare and annoying guards who won't battle me untill it is dark out!
-I completed the quiz so the gym leader would battle me (I always get thrown off when the apricorn question comes up...)

~SPOILED MIL-tan-K
-stupid, stupid, stupid clefairy! you think your funny burning my nosepass with a fire punch from metronome!!! grrr....
-well I am glad that's ove........ MILTANK?!? AWW SHUCKS! I AM DONE!

-Now I shall stalk the guard wait until nighttime to battle the cop!
All pokemon level 17 except for sneasel and shuckle who are level 18!

After searching for what seemed like ever to get the electric doors in the vermillion gym to open I finally figured out how it works and was able to take a swing at Lt.Surge. Lt.Surge's battle seemed fairly easy and not worth the long time it took my small brain to figure out how the lock system worked. After all this I decided to head on down diglet cave and get Flash. To my surprise I still needed to catch 8 different types of pokemon and I was off. In my "safari" so to speak I found my oddish and named It Poison Ivy, after the batman villain. I got flash from professor oaks AIDS and left the scene. I headed too The the cave to get to lavender town. Forget what I said earlier this is my least favorite cave of all time. Its just so unnesicarily dark ya know? Well I put a pikachu I had caught during my safari and taught it flash to help me through the cave. After what seemed like forever I was in lavender town. Cue the creepy ass music. Fought cid in the pokemon tower, a very easy battle and I had no problem overcoming him. I found that my oddish was becoming very underused and under leveled. I made a slight attempt to fix this but that was scraped on my way to celedon where I got my eevee evolved him via thunderstone and took on the rockets home turf. After a simple walk about the rocket hideout I found Giovanni and raped his team. After leaving the scene of the crime I headed to erikas gym and proceded then to rape her team as well. I jetted out of celedon as quickly as I could because I was now wanted for two felony charges of rape and headed to Saffron. Team Rocket was up to no good again as I saw one person standing outside the silph company looking all smug and ****, god I hate him. He wouldn't let me in so I wen't back to Lavender to play the role of Ghost Buster and take out the mother marowak. After fighting a bagillion crazy spirit talkers I took out the marowak and saw, You guessed it! Team Rocket. Getting pissed off at the frequency of my bouts with these lunatics I took out the three gaurds and saved the helpless old man. Him being grateful he gave me the pokeflute. Bless his old soul. Now I can take out those sleepy bears blocking my path to fuchsia. Although I wouldn't download a bear I would take one out. Scratch that, take two out. And thats what I proceded to do. I set my eyes on the silph co situation and ran in balls first. Pokeballs that is. Dubstep a blazzin I tried to make sense of the challenge of the pressure plates only to stumble once more across Cid. **** you Cid, you came this far and didn't help save silph? You douchebag. Anyways this was the hardest fight yet He came at me with his best and I almost failed but I barely came through. I went back and healed up at the lady with the two beds and continued onward. Walked straight up to Giovanni and laid my balls out on the table proclaiming "Get @ me" He enthralled by my opposition attacked with his weak ass pokemon. This is when I first realized how over leveled ness is compared to the rest of my pokemon So I basically used ness to whoop his ass. Skip forward a long line of fishermen and leveling up Poison Ivy to a Gloom I challenged Koga or whatever his name is and with ness out front absolutely dominated his poison type team. Nothing can stop me now. Oh other than tedius grinding for xp.

Tachi's Fire Red Log Pt.4:

After asking around for a while, I discovered that the gym leader here uses water types. I think we'd be better off waiting until I found a new team member, or at least until Terra and Yuuko are stronger. I headed North, as someone had told me about a large gathering of trainers up that way, lots of trainers means lots of "levelling up". Unfortunately, before we could make it to the bridge, we were stopped by none other than the alpha jerk himself, Gary Oak. He said he had caught a bunch of "strong and smart" pokemon...they can't have been too smart or strong if that moron managed to catch them. My theory was proven when Terra utterly destroyed his team...and the section of the bridge he was standing on, accidentally of course. After swimming back to land he gave me a "fame checker" and ran off...I've recently noticed that it wasn't waterproof and does nothing but make obnoxious noises now...Hm, sounds kinda like Gary.

Once I finished convincing a nearby police officer that the bridge collapsed on its own and we were in no way accountable, we headed onto the bridge, making sure we avoided any moves that may damage it further. We had to fight our way through a group of five trainers who claimed we'd recieve a "fabulous" prize once we defeated them...it was a gold nugget. What am I supposed to do with this? Anyway, the guy who gave me the nugget then revealed himself as a member of Team Rocket...interesting variation there, "give the trainer something, then challenge them to a battle"...I would've just waited until the trainer turned away and hit them over the back of the head with something...anyway, he insisted I join their organisation, Terra insisted he take swimming lessons.

We proceeded onto the next route and...wow, there were a lot of trainers there. I even had to run back to town to rest Yuuko and Terra up at one point. In any case, we eventually defeated all of them and made it to a house at the end of the route. I think Gary said something about the guy who lived here. I was supposed to visit him, or something. Anyway, I knocked at the door...there was no answer. The lights were clearly on inside and I figured I should check to make sure the occupant was alright. As it turns out, Bill, the owner of the house, was very much not alright. He'd apparently combined himself with a Clefairy while working on a teleporter...or something. It was pretty easy to fix and I got a ticket for a cruise on the SS Anne in return! Awesome!

I think I'm going to end this entry here and see if I can find any way to avoid fighting this gym.

Tachi's Fire Red Log Pt.5:

After a quick tour of town, I discovered that there's only one way out, through someone's backyard. I hope the town planner got shot for that one...Anyway, I headed out and got attacked by another Team Rocket grunt, Terra pummeled him and his team and he gave us a TM in exchange for his life. Awesome. So, after informing the same officer who accused me (quite wrongfully I should add) of damaging the bridge of the terrorist's location, we moved on.

Ah, Route 6...what to say about it? Oh, I know. HOW THE HELL DID THEY GET -shudder- BUG POKEMON HERE?! Filthy insects, I hate them...anyway, after beating up everyone on the route Terra evolved! It was so cool! But...she looks pretty ugly now. >.>

We headed into Vermillion City and found that the gym was blocked off by a pretty big tree...there weren't any branches low enough for climbing to be an option, it pretty nicely filled the gap between the side of the building and the tentacool infested waters, and generally made the leader, "Captain Sludge" (or was it "Colonel Smurf"?) look like a massive douchebag.

I heard that the captain of that ship Bill gave me a ticket for, which was incredibly swanky and I doubt most trainers could get a ticket for, knew a way to get past that tree. So, onto the SS Anne we went!

And pretty much immediately, Yuuko showed Terra how much she likes being upstaged! That's right everyone, not only do I have a Graveler now, I've got a frickin' Primape too!

Well, that's enough awesome for now, I'll write again soon.
