[Challenge] The Tri-Species Challenge

Started the game and chose Oshawott as my starter for Surf. Quickly caught a Lillipup (Brix) and grinded my way towards the first gym. Struggled a little bit but managed to win. Made my way to the first battle with the Plasma grunts and caught a Roggenrola for Strength. Lenora was a slight chore for Herdier but nothing too bad.

I then went through Pinwheel forest and caught my Sewaddle (Summer) and evolved it pretty quickly to Swadloon. I also caught a Pidove for Fly. Burgh was pretty difficult with no moves that were super-effective against Bug types on my team.

Went to Route 4 and after about 10 minutes found my Scraggy (Autumn) and my team was complete. Elesa caused a lot of issues and took me awhile to beat. Flying types are gonna be pretty difficult for my team but I'll manage. Made it to Driftveil where I evolved both my Herdier and my Swadloon into Stoutland and Leavanny respectfully. Absolutely rolled through Clay with Summer and Autumn.

Finally battled my way through Chargestone Cave and am currently in Mistralton City. Been smooth sailing for the most part so far but Skyla is going to cause a lot of problems. Brix will be heavily relied upon for this battle, hopefully he is up to the task.

First Gym
https://postimage.org/app.php
Discovered that my name is apparently Polymus, I frankly had no idea and am completely shocked and appalled!

https://postimage.org/
My neighbours name's Blue

https://postimage.org/
First pokemon Get! Awesome fish thing acquired!

https://postimage.org/
Awesome fish thing has now been given the name Jack and shall conquer all he faces!


Note: Blue is a bit of a douche. Second Note: He's also completely useless in a fight


Second pokemon Get! Flying feathery bird pecker thing acquired and has taken the name Sparrow who shall laugh in the face of the wind!


Third (and final) pokemon Get! Sparky yellow over sized rat thing acquired and has taken the name Captain he will lead the team into undeniable VICTORY!


Brock was no challenge to reach, and with sweat, tears, and copious amount of Rock-type blood Jack pulled out of the fight Victorious!


Here we have the entire team, Captain Jack Sparrow.


And with that, we have my Trainer Card and irrefutable proof of my victory against Brock!

As it turns out, Mistralton was a cakewalk! With being over-leveled and all, Brix had absolutely no problem taking down the gym. As a whole, it only took me 10-15 minutes total to beat all the trainers and Skyla.

As I headed towards Icirrus, I battled a couple of clowns on very rickety bridges. During one of these battles, Autumn evolved into a Scrafty! I was so pumped as that made my team complete. Cheren presented no problem for my dream team as I entered Twist Mountain.

Finally, I made it to Icirrus and challenged Brycn's gym straightaway. I decided to mainly go with Brix in this challenge as Summer and Autumn had been getting a bit more love but once the going got tough against Brycen, himself, I switched into Autumn and did away with his Pokemon in no time.

Dragonspiral Tower was pretty cool and Zekrom is one powerful looking Pokemon! Too bad it'll have to lose against me once I figure out a way to release Reshiram and control it, erm, I mean bond with it.

The next route was nothing to write home about, mainly just a bunch of thugs acting all tough. Made my way into Opelucid City in no time. All that's left for me is to beat this gym and off to the Elite 4 I go.

None of the Kanto gyms were really hard. I think I struggled a bit with Lt. Surge, but I can't remember now. I would summarize the Kanto segment as trying to level up Heracross to level 54 (Megahorn) while keeping the rest of my team from falling too far behind. I mostly just wandered around Kanto beating trainers for a while and beat Surge, Sabrina, Brock, and Misty (in that order).

Ok. Story Time!
So the reason I didn't challenge Erika for a while was because I wanted to destroy her with Megahorn (which I am too lazy to grind for) so I went on to Fuchsia (I literally just learned that it's Fuchsia and not Fuchisca. Not sure how I missed that.) City and did not go for the gym because I wanted to listen to the music during the battle and at this point I was playing at school. Anyways I also wanted Magneton to learn Thunderbolt, which it only gets by move tutor on Wednesday and Saturday. I'm also playing on an emulator which somehow messed with the in-game date and time, so I just left my game running for two days for the event and today I went over, and accidentally replaced Tri-attack. Oh well. One soft reset later its Thursday again, for some Emulator based reason I can't explain, so I decided not to wait another two days. 3 easy gyms and 1 harder one (Blue) later, I had all 16 gym badges.

Finally it was time for the fight with Red.

Final Team

Lets See Who My Team For Fire Red will be, Drum Role Please *Drum Role*


Update 1

Here's my team:


Update 2

FINAL UPDATE:

Final Team

Here we go and I get... 3 Kanto pokemon? Looks like I gotta re roll

Started the game off as per usual, named myself Carmen cause I thought the name was cool.

Got my three mons, got through all of Violet and Azalea, up to Goldenrod grinding for the battle against Whitney in Goldenrod.

Current Team:

In Ruby I'm at the Elite Four, right now just battling through to get money to get enough Revives to last me through until the battle against Steven.

Current Team:

I hacked in Lapras as my starter and destroyed the first gym. I stayed in Floaroma Town to try to get Heracross but eventually hacked in a wild one. Gardenia caused a little trouble but wasn't too bad. I picked up an Exp Share and we have been doing great. Fantina took two tries but we did it, and I won a contest with Lapras. The Veilstone Gym was easy thanks to Heracross's resistance to fighting and access to Aerial Ace. After the battle we beat some Galactic Grunts and stole HM02. That's about it so far.

Current Team

This time I hacked in Heracross as my starter. Brock was probably the hardest trainer we fought with only damaging normal type moves, but enough leers and we managed to win. After that we just destroyed everything. Magnemite and Lapras are both more late game pokemon so I only have Heracross right now, although I might have accidently used a Rattata in a few double battles, although it didn't do anything. This has accually been kind of funny because of how over leveled Heracross is now. I have four badges and I am not looking forward to Pokemon Tower with only Rock Tomb to hit ghost types.

Current Team

Opelucid Gym was amazing! I was walking on these very precarious pathways and switches moved them each and every way. Finally I made it to the top to face and Drayden and what do I see the pathways are once on top? They are dragons!!!! So cool!

Anyways, Drayden was really quite tough. Had to ride Brix hard in this since he was a bit more underlevelled than the others and had the best spread to defeat the powerful dragons. After a bit, we emerged victorious and headed towards Victory Road.

Victory Road was really quite strange as it wasn't a road but a mountain! Unfortunately it wasn't a straight shot either and I had to go up and down...up and down...up...and...down

After what felt like a century, I finally reached the top to face the Elite 4. To be honest, the Elite 4 was insanely easy. They had no answer for Autumn and Summer, a powerful 1-2 punch.

Finally, it was time to face the champion, Alder. AS I headed towards his thrown, I was thrown for a loop as a castle appeared out of nowhere to envelope the League! After the dust settled, who should I find there but N. Why can't he understand that Pokemon are meant to be with Trainers and just be done with this whole liberation of Pokemon phase he has going on.

Anyways, he invites me into his castle and I'm a bit reluctant at first but I follow in. There I am confronted by the Seven Sages. Seems the only way they thought they could beat was a 7v1 battle. Too bad for them, I've got the best friends in the world, as they ran out and convinced every Gym Leader in the region to come to the aid of the League, myself and the Pokemon of Unova. Well almost every Gym Leader...darn Striaton triplets....But I digress

I continue through the castle, looking through all the rooms and learning little by little about N's childhood. Finally I reach the throne room, the final battlefield. N is on the other side waiting for me. He heads towards me, giving another of his long, boring speeches *yawn...CRASH* What the.....??!?!?!?! All of a sudden a wall explodes where N just was. Coughing and brushing the dust away, I can see two red eyes. Great, it seems Zekrom has decided to make an appearance after all. In that moment, my Light Stone begins glowing. It seems Reshiram has finally begun to awaken. After a blinding light appears and fades, a majestic, beautiful white Pokemon stands before me. It seems to be waiting for me to do something. I sense it wants me to battle and catch it. Not really wanting to go through that whole ordeal, I pull out my Master Ball and toss it at Reshiram, catching it instantly.

Now the real show starts. N challenges me to a battle. Off the bat, I send out Brix. I'm feling pretty good about my choice until I see who his first Pokemon is...freaking Zekrom. Seems he's putting it all out in front if him right off the bat. After a long tussle and several revives, Brix finally took down the legendary Pokemon. After that, the rest of N's team was really quite easy and very unmemorable. Seems N is a one-trick pony.

After the battle, N seems to finally understand to a degree but Ghetsis intervenes out of nowhere and goes on a rant of his own about his true intentions, which lets be honest, we were not shocked about. I mean it was pretty obvious what his plan was, not disguised well at all, you can't use pokemon to liberate pokemon, it makes no sense. *steps down off of soapbox*

So Ghetsis in a fit of anger challenges me to a battle as well! I didn't even have time to heal!
Nervous, I send out my first Pokemon, Brix and fear the worst. To my surprise though, he was completely healed! Did Nurse Joy somehow sneak in and heal my Pokemon amidst the chaos? the world may never know.

After dispatching his Cofagrigus, Ghetsis sent out his ace, Hydreigon. Man was this thing a terror. Finally after a Hi Jump Kick from Autumn, I was able to defeat the three headed fiend and cruise to victory over Ghetsis who was then taken into custody. It was just N and myself now. N still seemed to be struggling with everything but finally seemed to understand. I guess I have that effect on people. After a short talk, he flew off on Zekrom. I never saw N again. I hope he found what he was looking for.

Moves:
Nasty Plot
Zen Headbutt

Blanche the ♀ Octillery | Lv. 74 | Relaxed | @Mystic Water
Moves:
Surf
Charge Beam
Ice Beam
Signal Beam

Comments: Queen of beam, Blanche did really well, but not as well as her sisters in the past.



Bashful the ♂ Cradily | Lv. 75 | Docile | @Miracle Seed

Moves:
Earthquake
Energy Ball
Acid
Rock Slide

Comments: Hey, fourth gen was good to you! I think Bashful is probably most improved this time around, because he did really well.

Pickles the ♀ Hypno | Lv. 58 | Rash | @Lax Incense
Moves:
Psychic
Toxic
Brick Break
Calm Mind

Comments: She was good against a couple of the problem pokemon that 'daya couldn't kill. Otherwise, very average.



Zendaya the ♀ Octillery | Lv. 60 | Docile | @Sea Incense
Moves:
Surf
Dive
Ice Beam
Psybeam

Comments: MVP no contest. She wrecked EVERYTHING. (Literally OHKO'd all of Drake's pokemon with Ice Beam.)



Quackjob the ♂ Cradily | Lv. 57 | Lonely | @None

Moves:
AncientPower
Earthquake
Giga Drain
Acid

Comments: Quackjob was of very limited use in the Elite Four, except against Steven's freaking Metagross. That thing would never have fainted if it weren't for a few good EQs.

Working on beating Mars at Valley Windworks!

Team to be added.

Tatianna the ♀ Hypno | Lv. 56 | Modest |
Moves:
Psychic
Toxic
Brick Break
Shadow Ball

Comments: This time around, I was deeply unimpressed with Tatianna. She underperformed and that's why she's so underleveled.



Atilla the ♂ Octillery | Lv. 60 | Gentle |
Moves:
Surf
Signal Beam
Ice Beam
Psybeam

Comments: Honestly, after seing Octillery's past, I thought Atilla would've done so much better, but he was so average that I was very disappointed.



Java the ♂ Cradily | Lv. 63 | Brave | @None

Moves:
Sludge Bomb
Energy Ball
Earthquake
Rock Slide

Comments: HOLY CRAP THIS TIME JAVA PULLED OUT ALL THE STOPS. WHAT A WINNER. BAMF. MVP.

Antony the ♂ Hypno | Lv. 54 | Hardy | @None
Moves:
Psychic
Toxic
Calm Mind
Shadow Ball

Comments: Well, I'm not upset but I'm also not overly ecstatic about Antony's performance. He did what was expected of him, however the late addition of Calm Mind on his set was definitely worth it, because +2 or +3 could wipe out every late game pokemon not named Hydreigon.



Mercutio the ♂ Octillery | Lv. 55 | Gentle | @None
Moves:
Surf
Signal Beam
Ice Beam
Psybeam

Comments: I feel like I always end up with the same movesets on my Pokemon, and the predictability is almost kinda sad, but at least I know what I'm dealing with. Mercutio was very meh.



Oberon the ♂ Cradily | Lv. 57 | Timid | @None

Moves:
Sludge Bomb
Energy Ball
Earthquake
Rock Tomb

Comments: Oberon outperformed its brethren sans Sinnoh, and I was impressed once I got into the late game because Energy Ball and Earthquake are both so nice.

sorry if I'm necroposting!
