HeartGold/SoulSilver - Travel Journal

Okay......where do I start?

I went to Celadon City to do some Voltorb flipping and to shop at the Department store for the greater good of my Heracrosses.

There was STILL the man who was looking at the women. That dude knows coolness.

So I went to Saffron City and went into the Gym. Took me forever to go through the gym, but I finally reach Sabrina. :3 I dig her new update.

pwnd her and now im going to Fuchsia City.
 
After 2 days of grinding, I think I'll take a crack at the E4.

Ah, what a day! I know I say this every day, but each morning is the beginning of a new adventure for me and my team!

We started by doing a little training through the Viridian Forest, where I got Bugsy's number last night. I took on all the bug catchers and completely destroyed them. Then we arrived in Pewter! I walked around for a bit with Toty, my dear Feraligatr, as we took in the sights and sounds of this familiar city, even more beautiful than I've ever known!

And of course, why else would one travel the towns if not for the challenge of a new gym? Brock of Pewter certainly bigged himself up, but his gym type meant he was at a disadvantage here.


He started with Graveler, who was easily taken care of by Toty's Surf. The same was said for Rhyhorn, although at this point Toty got a little too low on health for my liking, so I switched to my little surprise, Starrie, my Ampharos. Yes, that's right, I sent out an Electric type against a Rock/Ground type. That was my surprise: Rock Smash! It worked really well as I was high levelled, so in two turns (plus one healing turn), Rhyhorn was done. Brock sent out Onix, his strongest Pokemon, so I switched back to Toty and defeated him with a single Surf. Next was Kabutops, and I'll be honest here, I didn't remember that Kabutops was half-Water type, so I used two Surfs and a Waterfall to beat him. Finally, Omastar, who I did remember as a part-Water-type, so I sent out Starrie and Discharge defeated Brock!

Then, I battled my way up to the entrance to Mt. Moon but at that point, I got a rematch call, and remembered two I had gotten previously, so I took them on, and then headed to Celadon to take on Erika as my Vulpix was in need of a little training. Basically, all you have to know is, Flamethrower, Flamethrower, Flamethrower. Rinse and repeat as necessary. She was easily taken care of.

My team is currently:
Toty | Feraligatr | ♂ | Lv. 55
Pidge | Pidgeot | ♂ | Lv. 55
Starrie | Ampharos | ♂ | Lv. 55
Vully | Vulpix | ♀ | Lv. 56
Teddy | Ursaring | ♀ | Lv. 54
Snesee | Sneasel | ♀ | Lv. 53

On a side note, I've started EVing a Poliwag (mainly in Sp.Atk, as Water is Special) with the intention on raising a Politoed. He is affectionately named Poltaro, just like Gold's. ~♪
 
SoulSilver Update:

I decided to take my Crobat out of the team and it is now at Level 41.

HeartGold Update:

I was very excited when Asami my Pidgeotto evolved into Pidgeot! I went to Cianwood City and defeated Gym Leader Chuck. After that I went to Olivine City and challenged Jasmine. That was a very close match!

Next it is Mahogany Town and on to the Lake of Rage!
 
OK, so my Poltaro is struggling a little... using Bulbapedia to look for EV training spots, I'm in the Ilex Forest trying to take on Oddish to boost his Sp.Atk, and when he's a little stronger, Mareep, who also boosts it. Only thing is, he's Water type, and therefore weak to Grass and Electricity... >.<

And my main team is getting psyched in preparation for entering Mt Moon and taking on Silver! Again, my rival and I, locked in the heat of battle! I get so excited!

... so many beautiful Pokemon... *slowly entering Ruby mode*
 
So.

I decided to give my team a bit of a break from fight-fight-fighting to have some fun at the Pokeathlon.

The friendship in my group is almost insane and together - even without any Aprijuice, we're about to break the 10th and last event record! We already broke nine of them - just one more to go!

Pennant Capture just drives us all insane it seems without any regard to how well we work together. We can get first place, but we still can't beat the record. I guess it really does all come down to how many times you can headbutt an opponent to take their flags to minimize how much we have to run around to get our own flags.

We'll see.

We're going to give it a last shot and see what we can pull together.

Together, we can do it!

EV training going not so well... heh... Poor Poltaro...

But on a "regular" training note, we beat Silver by miles in Mt Moon! Seriously, every one of his Pokemon is weak to one of mine, but just to mix it up a bit, I made sure that every one of my team goes up against one of his. So he started with Sneasel, and I started with Vulpix, who's Flamethrower melted his ice. His Golbat found some problem with Ampharos, as Starrie's Discharge really did a number on him. Next was Alakazam, who got beaten by Ursaring with Faint Attack. He sent out Meganium, and Pidgeot beat it with Fly and Wing Attack. For Gengar, I sent out Feraligatr, who used mainly Water moves, using power more than advantage at this point. Then finally Magneton. I tried Sneasel, but she only knows physical moves, so I'll admit to switching to Vulpix halfway through.

Ah well. It was still a victory for me! Pwahah!

I just returned the stolen generator part and beat Misty. I hiked all the way south to Fuchsia. On the way, I saw Sucuine on the waters edge. It skidded off just as Eusaine appeared. He said it's up north near a coastal mountain. I continued south to Fuchsia so I can go there anytime without the hike because my goldbat knows fly. Then just as I arrive, the day care calls me saying that snaorlax and ditto had a baby. Munchlax is on its way. But before that, i'm gonn a go see if
I can catch sucuine as a shiny by resetin. ;)
 
So, on Soul Silver:

+Beat Bugsy by poisoning his Scyther
+Beat Silver easily
+Caught Rattata as an HM slave
+Made my way through Ilex Forest
+Caught a Ditto
+Traded my brothers' Quilava and Croconaw over and bred them for my own Cyndaquil and Totodile
+I now have all three Johto starters =D
+Training for Whitney's Gym

My team is in my sig.
