Hi, if it's still free, can I have a go at Normal pokémon? I have to wait for a while, my Ruby and Sapphire were sent to Nintendo to get fixed, but they should be back soon :D

Started my challenge a while ago, but spent days looking for the right natured pokemon (well not playing 8 hours a day or so, just an hour or so before bed).

Started challenge
- Picked Torchic as starter
- Did all the mandatory stuff to get pokedex and pokeballs.
- Caught 3 Zigzagoon (Pick Up & HM Slaves)
- Caught a Modest Ralts (f)
- Trained Ralts through til Rustboro
- Battled and defeated Roxanne
- Rescued Peeko
- Travelled to Dewford
- Caught a Timid Abra
- Trained Abra til he evolved
- Saved the game

Team:-

Modest Nature
level 19
- Confusion
- Growl
- Double Team
- Teleport


Timid Nature
level 18
- Confusion
- Teleport
- Disable

x3
Pick Up Slaves

-Growl

*
Jolly Nature
level 12
-Scratch
-Growl
-Focus Energy
-Ember

*only using for the Dark types until one of my psychics learns a move that can hit them for damage.

Here you go, I made the steel banner. Sorry for the delay, I've had a lot to do lately.

Ok, here's the next installment!


---My adventure thus far---
- Taught Seedot Bullet Seed and easily defeated Roxanne
:::Nosepass was a bit of an annoyance, but it went down pretty easily. Though Roxanne was a bit of a Potion spammer...:::
- Saved Peeko and the Devon Goods
:::I fought the Students near Rusturf tunnel, past the CUT trees, and Seedot evolved! :D:::
- Went to Dewford after talking to the Devon president
- Delivered letter to Steven
- Skipped the gym for now (my Dark types plus the gym's fighting types = bad matchup o.O)
- Headed to Slateport; defeated all the trainers on the beach and in the Soda Pop shack
- Delivered Devon Goods to Captain Stern, fought Magma Grunts; got the TM for Thief
- Went north past Slateport; defeated the first Trick Master challenge
::: Poochyena evolved in the Trick Master's house! :):::
- Fought rival and won on my second try
:::It was hard to beat my rival since she had Combusken, who unfortunately knew Double Kick and Focus Energy. Super-effective + critical hits is bad for any team. On my second try, I was a lot more offensive and defeated him pretty easily.:::
- Hacked and slashed my way up to Mauville
- Battled the trainers in the Mauville/Verdanturf area, including Wally
- Got a bike and went back down to Slateport via the Cycling Road
- Went back to Dewford and easily defeated the gym leader
:::This battle was actually pretty pathetic. He got a few hits on me, but in the end, he only did around 20 HP's worth of damage to my Mightyena, so I didn't even bother with healing items.:::
- Went back to Mauville to take the gym challenge

12 screenshots of the end:


Yeah I might've bothered showing screenshots of the enemies fainting, but the battle was too unpredictable, Metagross swept my team twice before I got lucky with the Yawn/Yawn/Hypnosis' working on him, allowing me to revive magcargo to 2ko him with flamethrower. Claydol has really, really annoying moves against a Rock monotype challenge >< I should've picked up Shadow Ball for Phoebe but just managed to hax and get a couple of +Attacks from Metal Claw early on.

All in all, definitely challenging.

Edit: Why is the Ice type banner and Ground type banners missing?

arrgh! why didnt i see this before?!

anyway, i will take Fire if that is okay.

OO ill take grass, and ill be on emerald. Im most likely going to use breloom, craidily, bellossom, and maybe shiftry.
