HaHa.
Thanks for the support. I'm hoping that I can outspeed them and crunch them to death when Buffy finally learns crunch.
Also, good luck with your challenge. What badge are you on?

(I say we switch this convo to VM. We don't want to clog up the thread too much.)

Thanks for the exception. And now for an update!

I was down in Route 32 fishing for a little bit. Hoping to catch a rare Tentacool, I find a Magikarp instead. I decided to run away, but quite surprisingly I was unable to. I decided to attack and found it it was faster than Zubat! I couldn't stand it so I just kept attacking it. It took quite a few hits to get rid of it, so I went on. I had also found a quite lively fisherman to battle. It was good training for Gastly. By the way, Goldeen are tough when you have a level 11 Ghost Pokemon.

Going to the next Pokemon Center I healed my Pokemon there. I went back out and kept on grinding. Gastly was rather simple because of the lack of damage from Normal-type attacks. Had to go back to the center a lot because of Mareep paralysis. I battled another trainer who had a male Nidoran. I was somewhat jealous, because of how much I wanted one...

Moving on to training my Spinarak, I had a much harder time doing that. I ran into a bird trainer which was a goldmine for Spinarak. Thinking my Spinarak was still underleveled I went into Union Cave. I soon found a Zubat that was a lower level than my Spinarak. I continued my walk through the Cave.

Current team:
Zubat
Male, lvl 13
-Leech Life
-Supersonic
-Astonish
-Bite

Zubat, I've realized, is quite an amazing Pokemon. It's a very good Pokemon and is worth it to train. Looking forward to that Crobat I'll get.
Gastly
Male, lvl 13
-Hypnosis
-Lick
-Spite
-Mean Look

Ghost Pokemon seem like the hardest to harm in certain situations. I'll rely on this Pokemon for those times when all my other Pokemon just don't seem to survive certain attacks.
Spinarak
Female, lvl 8
-Poison Sting
-String Shot
-Scary Face
-Constrict

Bug Pokemon, seemingly the weakest type of Pokemon. Vastly underestimated from what I've seen. Spinarak is a temporary Pokemon. When I get Weedle that'll replace Spinarak. Until then, this is all I've got.
Geodude(HM slave)
Male, lvl 2
-Tackle
-Defense Curl
-Rock Smash

Can't really say anything at all other than "soon to be loaded with HM moves"

I'll probably give an update tomorrow. I'll probably have beaten Bugsy (Oh god...) by then. I probably won't have a good enough move to take out an onslaught of Bug Pokemon so Zubat is going to be used the most.

If anyone cares, I just thought I'd say, it's taking me awhile to get my two "for sure" Steel Pokemon, which would be Riolu and Beldum, but the friend who is supposed to trade me these two eggs, still hasn't even bred them yet. I'm being patient about it, but I want to get started already. (Patient as in, if he doesn't hurry, I'm just going to resort to Steelix and Scizor, which'll leave two empty spots in my team, since those were probably going to be in my team, anyways. :l Yep. Patient.)

And now my favorite time of the day! Updates!

I made it through that Union Cave. It's a lot shorter than I remember, though. Going outside I snuckily snuck my sneaky self past that hiker. While walking into the next coming town I saw a two men, one clothed in black and having a large red "R" symbol somewhere on it. The other man ran away and the man in black seemed to stand guard of the well behind him. I continued onto the Pokemon Center and healed up. I then went to see Kurt, the ball maker of the town. He had talked to me about Team Rocket's evil scheme to cut off sell Slowpoke tails!

He sprinted off to the well. I went off to follow him and found the Team Rocket member out of the way. Upon going down the well I found Kurt not moving. He had apparently fallen down on his back. I went in myself to take care of Team Rocket. I was surprised at how low their Pokemon's levels are. Proton was just as pathetic as the rest of them. It's so sad how Team Rocket has been together for a long time and can't find any strong Pokemon.

As soon as I was done with them Kurt brought me back to his house. I got his phone number from that little girl and I continued out of his house. I healed my Pokemon yet again, bought some potions, and headed to the gym. I wasn't surprised at how the place looked. I battled a few trainers and eventually got to the gym leader. Thinking Bugsy would choose a Pokemon with Normal-type moves I put Gastly in front. I was quite surprised that he started off with a Scyther. That U-Turn took quite a lot of health from Gastly. He switched to Kakuna and I proceeded to knock the stuffing out of it.

He sent out Scyther again and used U-Turn, this time switching to Metapod. I used Spinarak instead to take care of it. Poison Stinging it down, Bugsy was forced back to Scyther. Sending out Gastly once more I learned that it could STILL use U-Turn! Gastly, Spinarak, and Zubat put up a good fight against it. I was eventually forced down to Geodude, the HM slave. He completely obliterated my team! After that everything turned white. Waking up in the Pokemon Center I immediately healed my Pokemon. I would have to train a lot more to beat Bugsy and his Bug-Type Pokemon.

Current team:
Zubat
Male, lvl 15
-Leech Life
-Supersonic
-Astonish
-Bite

Still the strongest of my team. It can put up a great fight for a long time. As I said before, that Scyther took it down rather quickly. Scyther was close to fainting so I would say Zubat is pretty powerful right now.
Gastly
Male, lvl 14
-Hypnosis
-Lick
-Spite
-Mean Look

Gastly is still the main one for gimping normal types. Hypnosis is very annoying and Mean Look makes it unable to escape. Of course, U-Turn, as I have learned, completely screws that move over. I'll find a way around that.
Spinarak
Female, lvl 15
-Poison Sting
-Leech Life
-Night Shade
-Constrict

As you can see, Spinarak has learned a quite good move. Powers up with level so that's just more reason to level up Spinarak.
Geodude(HM slave)
Male, lvl 2
-Tackle
-Defense Curl
-Rock Smash

Still an HM slave. Not much else to say.

I'm grinding right now to take care of Bugsy. I'll update later in the event that I'll actually beat him.

I don't calculate stat values, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature

Last I left off I was on my way to Goldenrod. I gave my team minimal training for this gym. I checked the Radio Station because I was a little bored from training and wanted to mingle. Once I arrived I laid my eyes on a pretty young woman in white and pink. I proceeded to talk to her and she wouldn't stop babbling about some radio card. I figured I'd win it for her and impress her ;) I took the quiz which I found easy and tried giving the Radio card to her. However she left before I could give it to her.

I chased after her and found myself in the gym. Oh man, I didn't wanna do the gym challenge now! The beauties challenged me one by one and I defeated them with Rattaking and Buo. Once I proceeded to the top, I found none other than that pretty gal. I tried to give her the card but she sent out Clefairy and wanted to battle. Being a sucker to fine women I agreed and sent out Rattaking. Fighting another Normal-type specialist should be fun I thought and indeed it was.

Her Clefairy fell to Rattaking's headbutt in one hit. I then proceeded to fight her miltank. A fine specimen of a Miltank I thought. I kept spamming Headbutt until she landed a critical hit and killed Miltank. I tried once more to give her the card but she started crying. I freaked out and ran away! Then this lady stopped me and told me to go back. I did hoping to give her the card but instead she gave me a badge and a tm. I checked both for any sign of her phone number but to no avail. Saddened I left north where I encountered a Sudowoodo. I finished it off and made it to Ecruteak. Once I was there I headed west and captured the third member of my team. The other half of my team should be in this Route 38.

Rattaking the Jolly Raticate
Level 26, Female

-Headbutt
-Quick Attack
-Crunch
-Sucker Punch

Buo the Naive Noctowl
Level 26, Male

-Uproar
-Confusion
-Peck
-Hypnosis

Bessy the Lonely Miltank
Level 13, Female

-Moveset Unknown

I captured a Jolly Tauros named Toro and he's at level 13. That's it until I catch Snubbull.
Yeah, good luck with that. Snubbull have a 1% encounter rate, unless it's a swarm. I would suggest a Meowth and/or Miltank.

I got a Miltank as well but I just want the Snubbull so I can brag and say...."Yeah I found a Snubbull at a 1% encounter rate...what's that? Oh yeah he's great ;)"

Update: I captured a level 13 male snubbull, Quirky nature.

As you can imagine....that bastard took forever to catch but it's all good and it has a neutral nature so that's a plus.

· Ah, adventure time. The best time of the day….
· Now, before I got started in Clair’s direction, I bought Blizzard, and about 30 hyper potions. Then Buffy flew me to Mahogany town.
· I proceeded to head down a path that had an icy wind blowing through it and I shivered slightly. I put Buffy away since she was vulnerable to ice and I trekked on, ignoring a few of the trainers, fighting only enough to gain a few levels. I trudged into the ice path, and immediately wished that I had a coat…
· Getting through the ice path was easy, and I obtained some useful items along the way. I also saved a kimono girl. Those chicks really owe me big time.
· I ran into a chick with blue hair while walking through Blackthorn, and she gave me a gaze as cold as the town I was in. I healed my pokemon and ran to the gym.
· Jeez, with Blizzard, everything in this gym was easily slaughtered. Even Clair was easy! Although she must have thought I cheated or something, because she refused to give me what I RIGHTFULLY earned. I nodded at her challenge and proceeded to the Dragon’s Den.
· Wow. That dragon master was deep. He made me see straight into my pokemon-loving soul. Then clair came in and her jaw hit the floor. She was going to refuse me the badge, but one mention of lance shut her up. I guess she really respects him…
· Elm called me to his lab, and I was happy that I got the master ball. Then the kimono Girls notified me to meet me in the Ecruteak dance theater. I nodded briefly. Time for a REAL challenge!
· After heading to the theater, I saw silver walk out fairly miffed. The kimono girls were a challenge to him AND he was admitting it? I had to fight these chicks. Now.
· Whew, 3 battles later I had finally defeated that stupid espeon and I killed the rest of them. Yeesh….wait, LUGIA?! I followed the Kimono girls quickly, eager to see what I was going to do.
· After making it through the whirl islands in 55 seconds(NEW RECORD!) I caught Lugia. Stupid pain in the butt. Now, time for the E4…
· I ran past route 26+27 and defeated everyone in my way. I got to the entrance of victory road and smiled. It was time.
· About a half an hour later(I got a bit distracted) I was at the end. I killed all of my Rival’s pokemon and ran into the E4.
· CURRENT E4 PROGRESS:
Will (DEFEATED! First try!)
Koga (DEFEATED! First try!)
Chuck (DEFEATED! First try!)
Karen (DEFEATED!First try!)
Lance (DEFEATED! First try!)
