The Trio-Species Challenge (Revived)

After beating the Trick House, I traveled further up the route to find May catching Pokemon. I took her on, easily defeating her Pokemon with Speed the Swellow. I then journeyed on an arrived in Mauville City. After grinding for a bit in the west, I went to the gym to find Wally. I destroyed his rather weak Ralts with Intellect, my Kirlia. I then went into the gym.
The gym trainers all fell to the powerful Strength the Marshtomp. They couldn't do anything to him with their electric attacks. I then took on the Mauville gym leader, Watson. He was truly easy, obliderated by the sheer strength of Strength's Mud Shot. The badge was mine! After getting Rock Smash, I went to Vendanturf Town and smashed a boulder in Rusturf Tunnel. This particular boulder was blocking the man who dug the tunnel from his girlfriend, who is apparently Wally's cousin. She asked me to stop by their house, as did Wally's uncle when I beat Wally. I also received Strength from Wally's cousin's boyfriend. I went to their small little hut in Vendanturf, and Wally said he'd get better than me. Dream on, Wally.
I went back to Mauville and went to the route to the north of it after grinding some more. I easily defeated the trainers in that house there, and then traveled on. I was challenged to a double battle with an interviewer and a cameraman. I, as they said later, "Rolled them up, flattened them, and tossed them aside," With Strength and Speed. I then travelled on, eventually reaching Fiery Path. Fiery Path was no problem, except Speed got poisoned by a Koffing. After resting up at some old lady's house, I eventually reached Fallarbor Town.
Upon reaching Fallarbor, I heard rumors of Professor Cozmo being kidnapped by suspicous figures. Sounds like Team Magma! I rushed to Meteor Falls, defeating all trainers in my path (And evolving Intellect into Gradevoir in the process!), and found Team Magma running away from Team Aqua. Archie, the leader of team Aqua, recognized me as an enemy of Team Magma and introduced themselves. However, they were in hot pursuit of Team Magma, and left. After talking to the rescued Prof. Cozmo, I traveled on to find myself in Rustboro City.

Got my Pikachu, delivered Oak's Parcel, got a Pokedex, and hacked to catch a Staryu at level 5. Beat ASH outside Viridian after a bit of grinding, and entered Viridian Forest at around level 11. Fought all the trainers and grinded up to level 17 (it took quite a while) when Staryu learns Water Gun. Easily beat Brock after that and headed out to Mt. Moon, where I hacked to catch a Growlithe, named Roar. Took me a few tries because of Roar.

Went through Mt. Moon, claimed a Helix Fossil, and put the beat down on Jessie and James.



Left Mt. Moon and headed to Cerulean City. Healed at the PC and went north to Nugget Bridge to face ASH. His Spearow owned Roar, but Staryu took care of business with Water Gun spam after Roar fainted.



I'm currently battling my way to Bill's house before taking on Misty. Just got a Charmander for HM Slaving and taught Staryu TM45 Thunder Wave.

Team I:

Roar (Growlithe) - L18
Moves:
Bite
Roar
Ember

Staryu - L22
Moves:
Tackle
Water Gun
Thunder Wave

Got to Bill's house, claimed an S.S. Ticket. Went to Cerulean Gym and beat Misty, taught Staryu BubbleBeam. Through the Underground Path to Vermilion to get a Bike Voucher and complete the S.S. Anne. Taught Roar Body Slam while on the sip.

Beat ASH:



And got HM01.

Left the ship and caught a few wild pokemon for HM's and to get up to 10 for Flash. Beat Lt. Surge (Only a Raichu in yellow lol) and taught Staryu Thunderbolt. Got Flash for Oak's Aide and went to Rock Tunnel after getting a Bicycle. Once in Lavender Town, I healed and headed to Celadon. Stocked up on Fresh Water/Lemonade and taught Staryu Tri-Attack and Ice Beam, and cleared out the Rocket Hideout to get Sliph Scope. Evolved Staryu here as well after buying a Water Stone in the Dept. Store. Beat down Erica with Roar, and headed west to get Fly. Flew back to Lavender Town and scaled Pokemon Tower.

Beat ASH and Jessie and James:



Got the Poke Flute and went south to wake up Snorlax! After quite a few tries, I finally caught him, named him Grumpy. Started training him up on the way to Fuschia City. Battled all the trainers around Fuschia and got Surf/Strength in the Safari Zone. Challenged Koga as well. He was rather tough, as his pokemon are 44,44,44,50, and I was sitting around L37 for my team. His Venomoth got 6 Double Teams off, so it took a while to kill him even with max Special boosted Grumpy (Amnesia ftw).



After that, I went to Saffron and beat Team Rocket to a pulp. Taught Starmie Psychic and Snorlax Earthquake here as well. Beat ASH and Giovanni pretty easily after all the trainers in Sliph:



Went to Sabrina and Blaine next:



Abra/Kadabra/Alakazam L50. Abra just knows Flash. Epic fail there. Psywave is a fail move as well. I sold it for $2000.



Surf, Surf, and more Surf.

Went to Seafoam Islands to train Roar up to L50 to learn Flamethrower, then used a Fire Stone!



Back to Viridian for the last fight with Giovanni:



Again, Surf/Ice Beam wins.

Elite Four time!

Beat ASH before entering Victory Road:



After a long trek through Victory Road, I arrived at Indigo Plateau. Lorelei went down to Thunderbolt spam exclusively from Starmie. I forgot the screenshot :<

Bruno was easy too. Flamethrower for the fighters and Dig for both Onyx.



Forgot a screenshot for Agatha too, but I used Dig for the Gengar x2 and Haunter. Flamethrower roasted Arbok and Golbat.

Lance was pretty easy because of Starmie. Starmie only took one hit and I healed it during the fight.



Here's a breakdown of the fight.


On to ASH for the last battle of the game! This one was a little tougher, simply because a couple critical hits and status ailments.



Here's a breakdown as well. Starmie was definitely the star of the show for this run.

• Fought up the Lighthouse, talked to Jasmine. Biff evolved into Machoke on the way up.
• Surfed to Cianwood, got the SecretPotion.
• Challenged the gym.
  
  
  
  
  He was pretty easy. Biff took care of Primeape, Poliwrath hit DynamicPunch to take Biff down, then Fangor with a Headbutt, 2 Dragon Rages - 3HKO. Damage from being put to sleep and DynamicPunch/Surf.
  
  
• Got Fly, taught to Kenya, and Flew back to Olivine.
• Went back up the Lighthouse and healed Amphy.
• Challenged the Olivine Gym.
  
  
  
  
  Magnemite went down to Low Kick, then Biff missed the first Low Kick against Sleelix. Iron Tail, Low Kick (flinch), Low Kick, Iron Tail KOed Biff. Fangor OHKO with Surf after a Hyper Potion. Switched to Royal, who put Magnemite down with Hypnosis+Night Shade after being paralyzed.
  
  
• Flew back to Ecruteak and made my way to Mahogany Town. Went to the Lake of Rage, killed the red Gyarados with Fangor, then talked to Lance.
• Found the Hideout and cleared it out.
  
  
  
  
  Too Easy. Royal swept her.
  
  
• Challenged the ice gym, who was no match for Biff + Fangor with Surf against Piloswine. Forgot the screenshot though.
• Am about to take on TR at the Goldenrod Radio Tower.

• Kicked TR out of the Goldenrod Radio Tower.
• After beating the fake director, I beat Kris in the UW. Forgot screenshot though.
  
  
  
  
  
  Easy Peasy. I was a few levels above them.
  
  
• Flew to Mahogany Town and went through the Ice Path to Blackthorn City.
• Once I got there, I Flew to Goldenrod and bought the Ice Punch and Thunderpunch TMs, taught them to Royal and Biff, respectively.
• Royal destroyed the Dragon gym with Ice Punch, though I actually ended up using Fangor against Clair.
  
  
  
  
  Fangor swept her even Paralyzed with the benefit of a few Quick Claw activations, Dragon Rage, and a Hyper Beam miss by Kingdra.
  
  
• Got the Dragon Fang and the Rising Badge, then got a call from Prof. Elm.
• Went home, got a Masterball, then surfed east to Kanto.
• Made my way to Victory Road.
• Kris showed up again.
  
  
  
  
  His Pokemon are just pitiful.
  
  
• At Indigo Plateau, I evolved Royal and Biff into Gengar and Machamp.
  
  Pre-Elite Four Team Wes:
  
  Biff (Machamp, F) - L42 @ Soft Sand

• Now to face the Elite Four:
  
  
  
  
  Royal swept Will with Ice Punch and Shadow Ball. Damage is from one Slowbro Psychic.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Koga was taken down by Fangor and Royal. Crobat with DT was annoying as hell. Dream Eater missed three times in a row while he was asleep. How does that make sense?!?
  
  
  
  
  
  Bruno was swept by Biff with Earthquake and a new move, Cross Chop. Late screenshot here lol.
  
  
  
  
  
  Karen was easy, too. Biff was almost through until Houndoom came out and was able to outspeed Biff with a Flamethrower. Fangor cleaned up with Surf.
  
  
  
  
  
  Lance was really easy. Ice Punch OWNS in this game. Biff 2HKOed Gyarados with Thunderpunch, then got really lucky and OHKOed Aerodactyl with a crit Vital Throw after Wing Attack left her with 2 HP. Charizard came in and killed Biff, then Fangor 2HKOed with Surf after a crit Hyper Beam left him with 3 HP. Dragonite killed him, then Royal came in with IOCE POINCH!!!!! OHKOed the rest of the Dragonites untouched, as you can see.
  Fangor L42, Biff L45, Royal L44 in the HOF.
  
  
• Now that I was the Champion, it was time to take on Kanto!
• First, I went to the Tin Tower and killed Ho-oh.
• Then I breezed through the Fast Ship S.S. Aqua.
  
• Lt. Surge was my first gym victim.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Up next was Sabrina. OHKO with Shadow Ball. Three up, three down.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Next was Erica. Ice punch swept the floor.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Bought Hyper Beam from the Game Corner, taught it to Fangor.
• Janine, who is even weaker than Clair, was squashed like the bug she is in this game (She is much better in the remakes) by Fangor's Hyper Beam.
  
  
  

Conquered Slowpoke Well
Gave Kurt my White Apricorn.
Went to the Gym.
Defeated the gym trainers.
Crocz grew to Level 21.
Faced Bugsy.
Got pwned by Scyther's Fuy Cutter.
Saved outside of the Pokémon Center before Union Cave(where I re-spawned).

• Fixed the Power Plant after beating the TR dude.
• Went up to the psuedo-Nugget Bridge.
• Interuppted Misty's date.
• Challenged the Cerulean Gym.
  
  
  
  
  Royal swept Misty. Hypnosis + Dream Eater (which healed) and Shadow Ball were too much.
  
  
• Went back east to the Rock Tunnel.
• Reached Lavender Town and got the Expn Card.
• Beat all the treiners along the coast to Fuschis City.
• Flew to Vermilion, killed the Snorlax.
• Went through Diglett's Cave to Pewter City.
• Challenged the Rock Gym.
  
  
  
  
  Fangor swept Brock. Surf FTW.
  
  
• Went over to Mt. Moon.
• Kris showed up, his mindset seemingly changed.
  
  
  
  
  His team wasn't any better, though.
  
  
• After reaching Cerulean again, I Flew back to Pewter and went south to Viridian and Pallet Town.
• Surfed to Cinnabar Island, talked to Blue, then surfed east to the ravaged Seafoam Islands.
  
  
  
  
  Swept Blaine with Fangor. Again, Surf FTW.
  
  
• After Surfing to Fuschia, I Flew back to Viridian for the final gym Badge.
• Just Blue in the gym.
  
  
  
  
  I was a bit underleveled, but I still beat him pretty easily. Think I had to heal once, but don't really remember. Biff was my last Pokemon though.
  
  
• Then I grinded against the E4 a few times, got my team up to L60.
• Talked to Prof. Oak, who got me into Mt. Silver.
• Climbed Mt. Silver (which is a LOT less complicated than in the Gen IV remakes).
• Found Red!
  
  
  
  
  Really underleveled here. Had to use all four of my Max Revives. Hyper Beam missed once and Cross Chop missed twice against Snorlax, and if they had hit I wouldn't have had such a hard time. Espeon was my bane here beause Royal and Biff are both OHKO to Psychic, and Shadow Ball failed to OHKO Espeon. Royal ate Venusaur's dream for the win.

I have gotten the first 2 badges and have gotten to Goldenrod City. I chose Totodile as my starter for the HMs. I caught a Geodude in the dark cave and got him to level 11 when he learned rock throw. I called him Rocker(Very original name:)) Sprout tower was a breeze as he 1-shotted every Bellsprout with tackle and Hoothoot with rock throw. During this time I caught a Gastly and trained him up. He was named Geng.(Another very original name:D). Rocker took out Faulkner with rock throw pretty easily and we received the Zephyr Badge.
I got to Azalea town and defeated Team Rocket. I defeated Bugsy and the bug gym with Rocker (while training Geng at the same time) and earned the Hive Badge. I went through Ilex Forest catching the Farfech'd and catching a Rattata for HMs as well. I taught Rattata cut and rock smash.
When I got to Goldenrod City I got the Radio Card and went straight to the bug catching contest. After a long while I finally caught a Scyther (Geng with hypnosis helped a lot). He was called Sciz (Most original name yet :D).
