Started a new game and had my friend help me transfer over some of my favourite Pokemon for my team. Yanma, Grovyle, Meowth and Marshtomp.
Can't remember the first gym challenge specifically but here goes nothin'!
Lemon vs. Roark
I started out with Piplup (couldn't transfer favourites over yet) and he sent out a Geodude. I started the battle using an X-Defend that I found in the Oreburgh mine, which helped A LOT! His Geodude ended using Stealth Rock. After two Bubble attacks the Geodude went down easily. Next up was Onix. He used a Screech attack and I got it real low health with a Bubble. Roark used a Potion which didn't quite get Onix's health full, I smirked and thought, that was not smart. Another Bubble attack and Onix was down.
The hardest part... Cranidos. Roark was not so smart and had his Cranidos use Pursuit instead of Headbutt. I used a Bubble and got it just above half health. He used another Pursuit, I'm under half health. I used a Hidden Power Bug attack which wasn't very effective, but smart so that he wouldn't Potion and I'd be able to KO it with another Bubble, that is, if I didn't die... He used another Pursuit my health was going down, I thought I had lost, but Piplup was left with 1 HP. My plan was successful, and I ended up beating Roark with one more Bubble.
I was now very excited since I could transfer over my favourite Pokemon.
EDIT:And now later on after I transferred my Pokemon I'm at the second gym. My lineup: Grovyle level 19, Yanma level 21, Meowth level 19 and Marshtomp level 18. Marshtomp will be unused unless it's my last resort.
Lemon vs. Gardenia
Here we go. Gardenia sends out a level 19 Cherubi, I send out my level 19 Grovyle. My Grovyle starts off with Fury Cutter, takes a little bit of health down. Cherubi uses Grass Knot, I lost 4 HP, then recovered two from Leftovers. I use another Fury Cutter, Cherubi's almost down to half health. Cherubi used Safe Guard, and I recover back to full health with Leftovers. I use another Fury Cutter, Cherubi is close to red health. Cherubi uses another Grass Knot doing 4 damage, and I recover 2 again from Leftovers.
I attempt at another Fury Cutter, but since my Grovyle was obtained through a trade, he decided to loaf around instead. Cherubi uses another Grass Knot. I'm at 46/49 HP. Grovyle uses Pursuit bringing Cherubi to 1 health. Cherubi follows up with a Growth boosting it's special attack. Gardenia decides to use a Super Potion. I'm getting annoyed, knowing I can easily take out Cherubi if Grovyle wasn't loafing around so much.
Cherubi is at full health, as is my Grovyle. I attempt a Fury Cutter, but Grovyle loafs around, yet again. Cherubi used Grass Knot doing 7 damage, and I heal 2. Another attempt at Fury Cutter, but ended up missing. Cherubi uses Safe Guard. This battle is very annoying to me... Another attempt at Fury Cutter ended up loafing around... who could've thought of that?!
Grovyle finally used a Fury Cutter in succession! Cherubi uses Growth, it's pumping up to kill me faster. Grovyle used Leech Seed, which doesn't effect it. Fury Cutter hit! Growth. Fury Cutter hit again! Grass Knot, does 18 damage from all of the Growths. Grovyle won't obey. I use super potion. Grass Knot critical hits. Super Potion again. Grovyle takes in sunlight hoping to KO Cherubi with a Solar Beam attack. It Grass Knots. I use Solar Beam, and... Cherubi faints! Grovyle grows to level 20. 39/51 Health.
Gardenia sends out a Roserade. Roserade uses Magical Leaf, takes out 15 damage. I used Pursuit, but Grovyle disobeys and uses Fury Cutter. Seeing as it gains power, I attempt another Fury Cutter... which hits! Roserade uses Grass Knot. I'm at 19/51 health, she's at just over half health. Grovyle takes in sunlight for a powerful Solar Beam again. Roserade uses Magical Leaf doing 15 damage again. I hope to KO Roserade with Solar Beam as I did for Cherubi.
And... I did about 10 damage... Roserade uses a Sitrus Berry and faints Grovyle with a Magical Leaf. I send out Meowth to fight. Roserade uses Stun Spore which doesn't help at all since I loaf around anyway, but Meowth uses a Bite attack in succession! Roserade uses Magical Leaf leaving me with 3/48 health. I use a Thunder attack attempting to weaken it so that Yanma can go in for the win. I let Roserade faint my Meowth to send out my Yanma.
Yanma goes out. Roserade uses Grass Knot. I attempt Sonic Boom, but Yanma disobeys. Yanma hit a Sonic Boom. Roserade uses a Magical Leaf again. Gardenia uses super potion. Yanma hits another Sonic Boom leaving Roserade with above half health. It uses a Magical Leaf. Yanma wouldn't obey, Roserade Stun Spores her. I use a Paralyz Heal and follow up with a super potion losing close to no health from a few Grass Knots. Yanma uses a Quick Attack and Roserade is down to almost red health. I follow with a Sonic Boom and Roserade has 1 health left. Yanma begun to nap... Super Potion then Awakening for me! After a few turns of hp restoring and status restoring, I land a Quick Attack which kills it. Yanma level 22, learns Supersonic.
Last Pokemon, Turtwig. It reflects, Yanma loafs around, but then I land a Supersonic, and it uses Grass Knot. I land a Sonic Boom, it snaps out of confusion and Grass Knots. I land a Quick Attack bringing it under half health, it uses Withdraw twice, while I loaf around, yet again, while it Grass Knots. I land another Supersonic, it Grass Knots. Yanma loafs around, Turtwig hurts itself. Yanma won't obey, Turtwig hurts itself. Yanma turned away, Turtwig hurts itself. Yanma turned away, it snaps out of confusion and uses Reflect. Yanma ignored orders and uses Double Team, Turtwig uses Withdraw. Yanma won't obey, Turtwig misses a Grass Knot. Yanma won't obey, Turtwig uses Withdraw. <-- Same thing. <-- Same again... <-- Same except I dodge a Razor Leaf. FINALLY I land a Sonic Boom ending the longest battle I have EVER experienced. I get to level 23, and get a new badge.
Hope you had fun reading! (Yeah, right...)
