I'm actually blown away by the detail you put in here, Suicune™. By the way, Sydian, I think he's going with Bugsy, if that little ™ next to his name is any indication lol.

By the way, is there any particular reason why this is restricted to G/S/C? and where the heck are some of these pokemon coming from? Brock has a Pinsir (weak to Rock o.O)?

Yeah, well there is only a certain amount of types that I can put in, and I wanted all the leaders to have an even amount so I evened it out by inserting a few irelevant Pokémon under some leaders otherwise it would be just too similar to a Monotype challenge, and I just thought having ALL Gym Leaders would be too much but if someone wants to make a list for all the gym leaders then they are more than welcome to.

Well, I started. And realized since I might be finishing in the next hour or so, I might want to catch some non water Pokemon so it doesn't look like I copy pasted a water monotype picture. So I'm going to get a Dratini and Diglett or something like that.

Edit: Beat Misty, on SS Anne.

My First Update (I'm going through this story style :D)
Spoiler:

My Name is Pryce Jr. son of the Gym leader Pryce but everyone calls me Junior I used to live with him in Mahogany Town but he sent me and mom to New Bark Town when some shady guys moved into town an set up a Souviner Shop. I tried to get him to let me stay and help him protect the town but he said it was too dangerous and I was an inexpierenced trainer, so for the last month me and my mom have lived here. I met one of my fathers old freinds named Prof.Elm and he said he'd give me a pokemon if I worked as his assistant. It was boring until he asked me to go pick-up some egg from a guy named Mr.Pokemon and that I'd get my pokemon to do so. I jumped at the oppurtunity and picked up Totodile the closest pokemon to an ice type there and headed off.I picked up the egg just fine and a freind of Prof. Elms gave me a pokedex,but when I took a step outside Mr.Pokemons house Elm calls he tells me a pokemon from his lab was stolen a rush back home but I'm stopped by a street punk who called himself Kamon a beat him with Teto(the totodile) with ease and headed back home to Elm's lab the police man there described the theif I realised it was the punk from before I told him his name Prof. Elm went pale and after the Officer left Prof. Elm told Kamon was the name of Giovanni's son a former freind of my fathers and Gym Leader who went bad and formed an Evil team called Team Rocket he asked me to find him and try to get the pokemon he stole.He also told me something intresting if I took the gym leader challenge I'd get home and probably be able to prove to my father that I was ready to face the enemy's of our town. After that we got back to the buisness at hand I showed him the egg and he looked at it like it was a giant diamond, he thanked me and sent me on my way I went home and told mom what I was going to do she told me she new I'd leave home someday warned me to be careful and asked I rest till morning so I did the next morning I headed off to Route 46 and caught a sturdy pokemon called Phanpy I named him Bull (Bull Elephant) I went to Cherrygrove and put Teto in storage so he wouldn't be at risk and head through route 30 having a few battles along the way on. On Route 31 a Dark Cave caught my attention inside I met the second addition to my team Ursula the Teddiursa. I continue Violet City and trained at the Sprout Tower where I met Kamon again but he escaped before I could stop him I faced the elder and at his defeat he told me he could see I treated my pokemon right he gave me Flash and descened the tower. I went to the Gym and met Falkner he told me he was suprised to see me so far from Mahogany town I explained what was happening and why I was there and he understood he too had gained his fathers respect as a trainer by beating the Gym leader challenge. I defeated him and he gave the Zephyr Badge and wished me good luck. When I went outside Elm called me telling me he wanted me to take care of the egg I brought him I went to the pokemon center. One of his Aides there gave me the egg and went off. I decided to rest and let my pokemon heal (GAME SAVED)

(BTW, why am I listed under Jasmine if I'm doing this challenge as Janine? xP)

Alrighty, so I finally have time to do this challenge. I'm starting immediately.

So, I'm Janine, with Meganium, Crobat, and Vaporeon, in case anyone has forgotten. Also, add Ariados to my future party of pokemon, since it can be caught so early on.

Spoiler:

*Began the challenge. Chose Chikorita as my starter.
*I do main storyline stuff. I catch both Zubat and Spinarak on Route 30.
*I train everyone up to at least level 10 before moving on to Violet City. Time for the gym! Also defeated everyone in the Sprout Tower.
*After beating Falkner, Chikorita evolves into Bayleef while fighting a Fisherman.
*I defeat Bugsy, and once I get to Goldenrod, I train my pokemon up to level 22. Spinarak and Zubat both evolve at this level into Ariados and Golbat respectively.
*I defeat Whitney, go to Ecruteak, and see Bill. I walk all the way back to get my Eevee.
*I defeat Morty, go get HM Surf by defeating the Kimono Girls, and save.

Team:

Eevee Lv.23
Ariados Lv.22
Bayleef Lv.22
Golbat Lv.27

Too lazy for sprites this time.

Challenge Complete.

Alright, new update.

Spoiler:

*Defeated all the trainers going through the route from Ecruteak to Oilvine. They weren't that difficult, Eevee is actually proving to be a force.
*I climb up the Lighthouse, defeating everyone in my path. I see that Jasmine's Amphy needs some medicine. Better go get it!
*I head to Cianwood, and enter the gym. I win here, and get HM Fly outside. I also retrieve the medicine.
*I give Amphy the medicine, and defeat Jasmine using teamwork.
*I head to Mahogany Town, and grind a little bit. That's when my Bayleef evolves into a Meganium. I catch the Red Gyarados, get the Red Scale, and enter the Rocket Hideout.
*The Hideout isn't much of a challenge. I clear that out, and I defeat Pryce in his gym. Professor Elm calls, and apparently Team Rocket has taken over the Radio Tower. I'd better go help!
*As I go up the tower, defeating all the Rockets, my Golbat evolves into Crobat.
*I finally clear the tower, and Team Rocket is gone. On to Ice Path!
*I reach Blackthorn City, ready to take on Clair. I'm still waiting for Fisherman Tully to find a Water Stone so I can evolve my Eevee...
*I beat Clair, but I guess that's not good enough to get a badge...I head to Dragon's Den.
*After quite a while, Tully finally finds what I've been waiting for...Water Stone! Eevee evolves into a Vaporeon, giving me my full team.
*I get past Victory Road, defeating my Rival. I grind the team up to level 50, and take on the League.
*Lance, the Champion, is taken down rather easily, as well as the Elite Four. Kanto time! :D

*So I'm on the ship now, and apparently I have to do everything myself. First, an old man loses his grandchild, and then a Sailor tells me to go wake up his buddy. WTF people? Plus, there is a Juggler who is very sick...but when you check the trashcan, there isn't anything in there? ._.
*I defeat Lt. Surge, Sabrina, and Erika. Then I head to Fuchsia City...to face the very person I am doing this challenge after. That's right, Janine!
*Defeating Janine, I continue on.
*Alright, so I got the Machine Part, gave it to the guy, and saw Misty with her boyfriend. Defeated her at the gym.
*Vaporeon solos Brock after I capture Snorlax and go through Diglett's Cave.
*Vaporeon also takes out Blaine, and teamwork takes out Blue. Time to defeat Red!
*I grind in Mt. Silver, getting everyone to level 60. Hopefully, it will be enough.
*Red is defeated, thus ending the challenge. :D


Final Team:



Ariados Lv. 60
Poison Sting
Night Shade
Leech Life
Fury Swipes


Vaporeon Lv. 61
Surf
