SUON PLAYS BINGO
A RAINBOW ROAD CHALLENGE ON POK?MON SILVER
BINGO! challenges completed: 1/20
UPDATE #2
Now that we can cross water, we can go on a new mission. I retrace my steps to Rock Tunnel and surf to a new area of the Ruins of Alph. Here, I catch our final companion,
PTITSA the Natu (Ptitsa is Russian - in Latin letters - for
bird.
Next, I go all the way back to New Bark, surf east to the Tohjo Falls, and pick up a Moon Stone. Now, KOROL is a true King!
Back to the main story. At the lighthouse I find out that Jasmin needs help with a sick Pok?mon, so no gym challenge yet. So I jump on ZUB's back and surf toward Cianwood. On the way, PTITSA evolves into Xatu and OVTSA into Ampharos.
I arrive in Cianwood, surf back to pick up HM Strength in Olivine, and back again to Cianwood (every time!!!). It's PTITSA and OVTSA that get me my fifth badge, and now I can Fly. I don't forget to pick up the SecretPotion for a change, and go back to Olivine.
I don't think I can beat Jasmine yet, too underleveled, so I go to Mahogany and the Lake of Rage. I beat the red Gyarados, meet Lance, beat Team Rocket, and beat Pryce. Also, I pick up a Sludge Bomb, only to discover that KOROL can't learn it... ??
6 badges, and number 7 coming. Jasmine is easy now, with OGON and ZUB, now a Feraligatr, having the type advantage.
I go through all the shenanigans at Radio Tower in Goldenrod, where I beat RIVAL for the 4th time, and can now go to Blackthorn for my final badge.
This is the first real challenge of the game. My team has been very balanced so far, but an Ice Punch might not be enough. I start again with the Whitney technique, and KOROVA beats the first 2 Dragonairs. She rerolls against the 3rd, but too much is too much. ZUB's Ice Punch finishes it. Kingdra is a pain, as always. ZUB bites and heatbutts, and then faints. OVTSA finishes with his Thunder Punch.
Elm gives me a Masterball and now I can go to the League. I catch a Goldeen to ride waterfalls with and make it through VR intact, even beating RIVAL without a scratch.
After grinding everybody to lvl 42 (you know, the answer...) I challenge the E4.
Will
Electric and Fire are the main ingredients here. OVTSA and OGON have no troubles beating Will's Psychics.
Koga
OGON uses Flamethrower for Ariados and Forretress. KOROL uses Earthquake for Mukesh and KOROVA uses Rollout for both Venomoth and Crobat.
Bruno
I start of with PTITSA against Hitmontop. Fly doesn't seem to work due to Detect, but Night Shade and Future Sight do the trick, since Hitmontop barely hurts me. Hitmonchan is also food for PTITSA, but Machamp finishes her with a Rock Slide. KOROL finishes both Machamp and Hitmonlee, and ZUB is too strong for Onix.
Karen
KOROL starts by double kicking her Umbreon. PTITSA then uses Fly against Vileplume. Houndoom is fast and damages ZUB quite a bit, but Surf is still strong enough. Same story with Murkrow and OVTSA's Thunder Punch. KOROVA is last, to use Shadow Ball for Gengar.
Lance
I decide to start with KOROVA. I give her an X Accuracy and start rolling. She beats Gyarados and two lvl47 Dragonites, before losing against lvl50 Dragonite. ZUB takes over, and finishes with Ice Punch. Also Aerodactyl is toast after a Surf/Ice Punch combo, but Charizard manages to finish ZUB with a Hyper Beam (so no healing) and <10 HP left. Any of my team can finish it now, and it's PTITSA that uses the last move, Thief.
