Pokemon Pearl Journal: No More Honey Trees!

August 26, 2008

I left a few things out of my previous entries.

Last week, I challenged the Magma Colosseum in Poketopia with my team of Barboach, Snover, Mr. Mime, Wormadam(ground), Tentacreul, and Sneasel. I figured the ice and water pokemon would keep things cool in the blazing hot colosseum. I chose well. Scores are based on how many pokemon are remaining at the end of each battle, and at worst I had one knocked out each time. So I made it to the Colosseum Leader Terrell, who used mostly evolved fire-type starter pokemon as well as other Sinnoh starters. They were no match for Barboach and the others. That puts me at Rank 4 in all available colosseums, as well as making me eligible to compete in the Courtyard Colosseum.

Also the other day (yesterday, actually), I got home very late from work (after midnight late) but of course did my usual sweep of the honey trees. Barboach was swimming off the beaches of Route 213 near Pastoria when Dr. Footstep was passing by on a midnight stroll. He said he saw us training the other day while we were practicing some contest combinations, and he was very impressed with the demonstration. He said we seemed in sync, and the strong bond would carry us far in contests. Because of our hard work, he awarded us the Footstep Ribbon, which would be Barboach's 11th Sinnoh ribbon! Barboach was very excited. I know it wants to enter another contest, but we've been so busy training for gym battles and searching for Munchlax. Soon we'll have to return to Hearthome City to win more ribbons!

So, this evening, Candice battled with me to help me train Noctowl, Chimecho, and Skuntank. Man, that Medicham was just as difficult the second time around. Her Abomasnow used a move called Avalanche, sort of like an ice-type equivalent to the move Revenge. If the pokemon takes a hit, the power of Avalanche is doubled. She offered to teach one of my pokemon the move, but none of my pokemon was able to learn it. So, I went back to the Pokemon Center, where I transferred my pokemon to Hayley on the ranch. Then, Barboach and I were off to check the honey trees.

Summary:

TIME: 336:57

BADGES: 7

RIBBONS: 11

POKeDEX: Seen 136

Obtained 128

August 26, 10:30pm

I was so tired that I almost just went to bed without checking the honey trees. But, I decided to do a sweep anyway.

I'm glad I did.

Sitting there next to the tree on Route 214 eating some berries was a little Munchlax! Finally! Finally finally FINALLY!! Quick Ball, go! I was hoping to catch it fast using the specialty pokeball, but 2 Quick Balls failed. Should I use a Great Ball? No wait, it's night-time right? So, Dusk Ball, go! After 15 months of looking from time to time and over a week straight of hardcore searching, I finally have the pride of yelling: "I CAUGHT... A MUNCHLAX!"

129. Munchlax



August 30, 2008

Now with a Munchlax on my team, I decided it was time to check out Lake Acuity. I went to the Pokemon Center and called Hayley. All my pokemon seem to be doing well. I had her transfer Bibarel, Lopunny, Murkrow, and Remoraid. They are the last four pokemon I have left to train in this rotation. So, along with Barboach and Munchlax, I headed for Lake Acuity.

And obviously, Team Galactic has been long gone.

I did run into Ralph sitting by the lake. He said Jupiter from Team Galactic was here with some grunts and they captured the legendary pokemon from this lake.

"I couldn't do anything to stop them!" he said dismayed. He was talking about getting stronger, and that he was doing some special training in order to confront them. I told him I would go on ahead to their headquarters in Veilstone City and see what I can find out.
 
I'm chaining for a Shiny Bagon for about a week now 'cause my chains keep breaking above 30 :l
Those little Psyducks really enjoy breaking my chains, they show up most of the times.

But, oh well, Bagon is one of my most wanted targets so I'll just stay on that Route until I get a green one ;/
I had a Bagon chain at 40 a few months ago, but I accidently walked into a bad patch while resetting for Shinies, darn you Machoke! DX

Today I made it through the Eterna forest in one piece.
Before going pokemon hunting I trained for the gym.
Before battling the leader I found another patch of grass, there I caught a Meditite, a Chingling, and a Ponyta.
Then I traded my Buizel for a chatot.
Now I'm off to battle the next gym.

Pokemon Pearl Journal: Infiltrating Galactic HQ

August 31, 2008

The Galactic Building in Veilstone was locked down pretty tightly. Something's going on in there. Time for me and my pokemon to do some recon.

"Barboach, Remoraid, in the water," I said, releasing them near the pier. "See if there's a way in from the water." My duo of water pokemon swam off.

"Murkrow, Lopunny," I said as they appeared from their pokeballs. "You two sneak around and see what you can find.

"Krow-murkrow!" Murkrow flew off and Lopunny hopped away.

"Bibarel, you're with me." We walked around Veilstone, just casually checking things out.

There's a house near the gym where a lady gives out massages to pokemon. She can also help with accessories for Pokemon Contests. "Munchlax, come out," I ordered. I left Munchlax with her for awhile so it could be pampered a bit.

Bibarel and I left there and headed back towards the main street. Just then my Murkrow flew back with something in its beak. "Looks like an access key. That might help us get in that HQ. Ok, Bibarel, go round up the others."

September 1, 2008

Shortly after midnight, we snuck up to the main entrance to the Galactic building. All my pokemon were back in their pokeballs, except for Murkrow who was holding the key. We tried it in the main door, but it was access denied. After a few miutes of thought, I remembered a warehouse near the pier. We headed over to that, which was much less guarded anyway. Inside, we found a door that the key fit into. The next room had some stairs leading down.

"Ok, Murkrow, return," I pulled out its pokeball, but instead it flew over to a table in the corner.

"What's that?" On the table was two small stones that were quite dark, about the size of a fist.

"Krow!" Murkrow touched one of the stones and started to glow! Ok, so it's an evolution stone. But Murkrow don't evolve… do they? Apparently in Sinnoh! Murkrow evolve into Honchkrow using a Dusk Stone. I pocketed the other Dusk Stone and returned Honchkrow to its pokeball.

130. Honchkrow



So with my new Honchkrow, we infiltrated the warehouse, fought a handful of Team Galactic grunts, and eventually found a master key to the main building. We all escaped back to the Pokemon Center for some sleep.
 
Been a while since I posted here. I was kinda playing Warcraft again, but I completely quit nao. Cancelled both my subscriptions and smashed my discs........what? Game stores wouldn't take them and I couldn't E-bay them so I smashed them. :D

Well, yesterday I went and caught all the Unown and nearly used up all my Quick Balls. Finding that last one, Unown T, was a REAAL pain...And that Maniac Tunnel isn't very impressive. xP Then after that I went and trained on Route 218...yikes.

Pokemon:
Glaceon: Lvl 37
Rotom: Lvl 38
Sneasel: Lvl 37
Staraptor: Lvl 55
I only had Staraptor to fly me places...and to win a battle if the other three got creamed.
 
So today I won my 2nd badge which was A LOT easier then I thought. Afterwords I took advantage of 'Cut' and entered the forest mansion. I caught a gastly inside, and when I left I ran ito a mistriavus (Which I caught also).
I plowed through the Team Galactic building and destroyed Jupiter.
Now I'm off to Cycling road to see what awaits.

Monferno LV 27
Saravia LV 26

======================================================
 
Completed the National Pokedex a few days ago. Now all I need is Shaymin and Arceus. Plus I'll change my wireless setting to WEP so I can use the Wi-Fi at my house (instead at a friend's) so I'll train for the Pokecommunity New Years Tournament. I might enter it, not sure, maybe the next one...
 
YEE-HAW! Got a Jolly Larvitar with 31 ATK and SPD IV's... after only about 2 hours of breeding =D
 
Yesterday I finished the first Gym Battle with Roark with two level 50's. Then I used a total of 40 Rare Candy's on my Staraptor and Infernape, making them level 70.

I'm working on getting my second Gym Badge today, and after that will probably be my third Gym Battle, and my day will end.
 
September 5th:
I made it through cycling road no probem. Then checked out the lower roads and found Wayward cave. I taught 'Flash' to budew, and I'm glad I did! I would have never made it through without it. Anyway, the first pokemon I saw I there was a Bronzor. Since I needed a psycic pokemon I caught it on my first try.
After battling a few times, Budew Evolved!!! I used Roselia to PWN all the hikers.
I found that little girl (I forgot her name)...but she didn't help because I already battled all the trainers. I got her out safely, but she didn't give me squat! She could of at least given me an item of some sort instead of dissapering and never coming back.

September 6th:
Well I traveled into Mt. Cornet and met that Team Galactic guy. But my motto..."No Battle, No interest". Few wild battles, not much. Outside, a few trainer battles, no challenge.
I arived in harthome city and entered my first Super contest. I used Staravia in a cool contest, and won... Without any Poffins!
Afterwords I creamed My rival for the second time. Seriosly, toooooo easy!

Team:
Monferno LV 29
Staravia LV 29
Roselia LV 28
Bronzor LV 23
