So a curse that is pretty much irrelevant and an easily avoidable one. I am fine with this. The plan has not changed...but I have to fight Whitney now, so I better pick a god and pray.
Episode 3 - Picking a God and Praying
Current Curses
Fridge Horror - No Fire move or Ice resist = No STAB moves. AKA rip Stalker.
Ghostly Adventure - Stalker is locked in the team. I can't get another Ghost type anyway since Misdreavus is the only other Ghost type in Gen 2...and it's only in Mt. Silver.
Cursed Ground - No Ground, Rock, or Fighting types.
Too scared to move - Only 3 attacking moves. Irrelevant for Stalker because no STAB moves allowed anyway.
Making Frankenstein - Primary types for team members must be different. So far we have Fire and and Ghost (because forced).
Zombieland - Irrelevant.
Today's the day I always dread when I play a Johto game, and it's Whitney. I should, in theory, be fine, but you never know with these things. Anyway, before we can head into Ilex Forest, we have to deal with Stizh, my rival. Since I can't use Lick, Croconaw is a bit scary, but hopefully we'll get some workarounds to it in the future. Other than that, his team was no real threat. Anyway, after taking of the Farfetch'd situation, I went back and grabbed the Charcoal for Blaze, and then it was back to the forest to get a Paras...which took longer than expected. I still got one, though, as a Cut slave. Now, it's off to Goldenrod.
So at this point in time, I can't possibly get the Thunder TM yet because I lack the money to just outright buy 5500 casino coins or the time to farm the slots, so until then, Stalker is officially a Hypnosis bot because the Dream Eater TM is in Kanto and Nightmare is a Ghost move, so I can't use it because Fridge Horror. I did go to National Park to destroy the trainers and get the Dig TM...you know, if I ever get another viable team member from a curse or something and the Quick Claw because Quick Claw. Anyway, the gym trainers aren't scary in Whitney's gym. As we all know, it's that infamous Miltank.
Anyway, Clefairy wasn't too bad. Hypnosis to put it to sleep and then switch to my only viable team member to destroy it. For Miltank, I had Stalker put it to sleep then die with Curse to make my life easier. Afterwards, with some Smokescreen spam for good measure while the Miltank slept and the Curse drained it's HP, a couple of Embers finished the job.
Like before, though, Whitney's losing cry was...weird. The room broke apart while her crying echoed through the new room. Against my better judgement, I'll take a red berry, pray I can eventually get the Hidden Power TM (the only non Ghost or Poison offensive move that I think Stalker can get outside of Thunder at this point since I couldn't get Return/Frustration), and it's off to the currently unexplored Room 26.
