6th Gen Travel Journal

[HairyLoco]

Spoiler:

Ever since departing from Mauville nothing exciting really happened. I was on my way to Fallarbor to meet up with Brandan at Professor Cozmo's house. The way was pretty long and I had to go back to the Pokémon Center mutliple times, but in the end I finally made it to Fallarbor. It was then that Brandan came to me with a sense of panic in his eyes. Professor Cozmo had been kidnapped?!
We hurried into Professor Cozmo's house and met his wife who explained the situation. Team Aqua had taken Professor Cozmo to Meteor Falls.
Brandon and I hurried there, and after a short walk finally caught up with Team Aqua and Professor Cozmo in Meteor Falls.
Rather than just grunts, it seems Team Aqua sent someone who introduced herself as an Admin, Shelley. Still, they had Cozmo. We had to fight them to save him. Brandan and I both teamed up against Shelley and her Grunt, and made short work of them. Really, they make themselves out more impressive than they are. Such arrogance must be punished.
A man in red came up to us and introduced himself as Team Magma Leader Maxie, although it seems he had very little important to say - he was simply after the Meteorite. So much fuss over a piece of space-rock.
Team Aqua nicked the Meteorite from Cozmo anyway and took off before I could do anything.
Watching them go, Maxie warned me not to impede in their plans. Gee, I haven't heard that line before. And with that they walked off.
After taking Cozmo back to his house, Brandan proposed to travel back to Mauville together - he still had a Gym battle there. I accepted and we went back.

We parted ways at Mt. Chimney and he went on to Mauville, whereas I decided to put another dent in Team Aqua's plans. I heard they were on the top of the volcano, so I took the cable car to the top. On the top I found many Team Aqua and Magma grunts engaged in battle. Even Maxie was fighting some Aqua Grunts here!
On a bridge above the lava was Archie, Team Aqua's Leader. He stood in front of a strange device which seemed to interact with the lava. At the foot of the bridge was Shelley, once more.

We battled once more, and she was defeated swiftly. Next up was Archie, who, even though I can't stand him and his ideals, made for a formidable foe. He took out Canna, Nox and Dante before I could defeat him.
He wanted to rematch me, but was summoned somewhere else - I'd guess Mount Pyre, since I heard him mutter that name. What he's going to do there, I don't know. I'll have to stop by Mount Pyre when I get there.
Archie gave me back the Meteorite and took off.
After exchanging a few words with Maxie, he too took off and
Team Aqua and Magma both retreated from Mount Chimney and the calm sent a chill down my spine. I guess I'd gotten used to commotion all the time.

The way to Lavaridge Town was rather short and the Jagged Pass had been kind to me. It's about time I'd prepare to challenge the gym.
With this team, I challenge Flannery, the Lavaridge Gym Leader.

Nox ♂ Lv. 28

Spoiler:

I led with Nox against Flannery. Nox had put up an illusion to make him look like Dante. Flannery had sent out her Slugma. Nox used Dark Pulse and it took the breath out of Slugma. He fainted in one hit! She then sent out her Torkoal, one I think would give me some trouble. Nox used Dark Pulse again, which took out half of Torkoal's HP, and he flinched! The next Dark Pulse was enough to take him out as well. So far Nox has had little effort taking them out..
Flannery's next Pokémon was Numel, who too fell before Nox's Dark Pulse in one hit.

Flannery just got swept! Nox was unbelievable that fight! He'll be getting extra Pokéblocks tonight!

10th January, 2015

• I succeeded in getting a Shedinja and I am on my way to Mauville City

[jbernardocard]

Finished delta episode today. I think it means that the main story is now complete. I've been away from pokemon since gen IV came out, and i have only played pokemon white in a friend's ds. I still need to play all those games that i missed but i played all the other ones. This is the point i say that i have a new favorite pokemon game. Yes, Alpha Sapphire was the motive why i bought a 2DS ten years after i received my game boy advance along with pokemon leaf green and emerald, and i couldn't be happier, such an amazing game, i have never explored a region like i was able to do with hoenn. I just need to say thank you Game Freak. Now i'm going to catch the remaining legendaries, catch the regis, one of my favorite parts back in emerald, and fill my pokedex.

 

[Dreg]

Well I finished all of the Trick Master's rooms, was quite disappointed in how few there were. also,

Spoiler:

LATIOS GOES ON YOUR TEAM?!?!

I didn't have room for it and I continued. Did the Weather institute and beaten May, now currently in Fortree City. Team is now: Vibrava, Sceptile, Gyarados, Gardevoir, Lairon, Swellow... all level 36.

 

[Hikamaru]

This is a very long entry because I covered so much of the next chapter of the story today.

So, I started by trying to get through Route 120 and 121 as fast as I can, before landing in Lilycove City to pick up a new Mega Stone known as the Altarianite, and then tested my Altaria's new Mega Evolution in an easy battle against Brendan. Next, it was off to Mt. Pyre where I caught a few new Pokemon and obtained a couple of TMs and two more Mega Stones, the Medichamite and Banettite before reaching the summit and another run-in with Team Aqua who stole the Blue Orb! I also ended up having to fight Matt again, but he was no issues for my "water killers". The old couple who were looking after the orbs decided to give me the Red Orb afterwards.

Then it was off to Slateport where Team Aqua stole Captain Stern's submarine and modified it for themselves. Next it was infiltrating Team Aqua's hideout where I had to battle a lot of grunts before battling Matt again, not much to comment on the battle there at all. Next I went to the beautiful Mossdeep City and breezed through the Gym, defeating Tate & Liza to snap up my 7th badge, the Mind Badge. Afterwards, a strong pillar of light was coming out of the water, indicating that Kyogre is in real danger thanks to Team Aqua. Steven whisked me to his house and entrusted me with a new HM, Dive (who I subsequently taught to Swampert) and some Devon Scuba Gear.

I have now arrived at Seafloor Cavern, still in pursuit of Team Aqua and Kyogre.

Talk about your team being overpowered much, Hika. Mine aren't even close to that, around the level 40's.

So, I beat Winona which was my hardest match yet. Another change has been made: Swellow has been dropped for Shuppet (needed a ghost type) which has now evolved into a Banette. Currently in the Safari Zone right now.

Team: Banette (level 37), Vibrava, Gyarados, Sceptile, Lairon, Gardevoir. These others are level 39/40.

 

[classiccartoonsftw]

I just got through Victory Road, and defeated Wally with little trouble.

Now I'm going to train my Pokemon to around level 50.

 

[jombii]

Just caught Groudon in one Pokeball. I am not sure if I was just lucky or is Groudon's catch rate so high. I remember having a hard time catching it before. Oh well.

Also, got my Eon Ticket and Latias woo

 

[Dreg]

Well, I've beaten Team Magma at Mt Pyre, and my Lairon has evolved into an Aggron. Now I can use my Aggronite with it.... :D

Sorry about the lack of update, I seem to have "Namer's Block"... Leave your ideas in a PM, or some other way. Either way, I have received the January 22 Serperior Event, which doesn't count toward the Hoenn Dex. I can't really nickname it anyway... After that nothing much more than training on Route 109 and arriving in Slateport City...

To do list:
-Defeat the Pokémon League
-Complete the Hoenn Dex without any online trading.

Hoenn Dex: 15/211

Team:

Chic (Lv. 21 Combusken, Member)
Desiree (Lv. 16 Ralts, Member)
Urufu (Lv. 15 Poochyena)
Toribuko (Lv. 17 Ralts)
Muhashroom (Lv. 17 Shroomish)
Beldum (Lv. 13, Event, can't nickname)

If you have any nicknames for any future catches, drop me a line. In can be via comment or PM.

 

[jombii]

I am inside the E4 right now, and can I say I am loving Drake's design. He seems really powerful with that wild eyes of his.

 

[classiccartoonsftw]

I just defeated Champion Steven, and had one more battle with my rival. This is the team I used:

"image removed"
Blaziken

*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Salamence

*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Shiny Metagross

"image removed"
Cradily

Next up: the Delta episode!

 

[jombii]

The Delta Episode seemed too stretched out. :( I'm just before catching Rayquaza but I had already tried to catch Deoxys a little while back. Why are there no save points before? :(

 

[Pyrax]

Been slowly filling up my National Dex since my last post. I've also picked up the Mirage Spot legendaries and traded off the ones I didn't need for version exclusive legends. I'm probably not going to complete it unlike on X (which I did back in November), but for now I'm aiming for completing the Kanto, Johto and Kalos Dexes. I also completed the Hoenn Dex last month.

Oh, and I also battled the Elite Four's rematch teams. I'm gonna be honest here, Steven's new team was by far the most disappointing - Jasmine had an Empoleon on hers in HGSS, there's no reason why GameFreak couldn't have given him one too, just to name a mon he could've benefited from.

 

[blue]

Picked up my Alpha Sapphire after a short hiatus, and things are moving along nicely! Managed to reach Lilycove City where I bought a tonne of Secret Base stuff, no doubt that's where all my money will be going. Cleared Team Aqua out of Mt. Pyre and their Hideout at Lilycove, and now I've just reached Mossdeep City and currently training on the surrounding areas. I'm surprisingly under-levelled at this moment in time, from the way everyone was describing the games to be easy, I'm finding myself about 2 levels under the cap right now. If anything these games are more difficult than the originals, comparing the levels of the Routes is about a +6 difference.

*image removed**image removed**image removed**image removed**image removed**image removed*

I'm having so much fun training up this team, all betweel Lv 40 - 42.

 

[Venitardus]

I don't know why I didn't post this but I have beaten Steven about a month ago on alpha sapphire. My team when beating the league (will update what lvls later.):

Tamriel (Sceptile)
Bear (Mightyenna)
Shiny Metagross
Poseidon (Kyogre)
Snowbird (Glalie)

The last spot I left open. Not sure why. Anyway, I have 557/718 for my dex. It's slowly coming along. Soon I might be doing my breeding here instead of my X version.

For my omega Ruby though (soon to be restarted) here is my log for that.:

Picked the boy, named Joey (my name), saved professor with mudkip, named trip.
I moved some pokemon from bank over to train since they were lvl 1. Beat the first 4 gyms easily, I had a little trouble with Norman but beat him in A timely manner. I proceeded to the other gyms. Traded over one of my druddigon for a 5th party member. I have recently dealt with Groudon and defeated Walace. Not I'm getting ready for the league. My team is:

Trip (Swampert) lvl 51
Gloria (Noivern) lvl 50
Iron Arm (my shiny bred Metagross) lvl 50
Krunk (flygon) lvl 50
Druddigon lvl 60
(Open slot.)

[jombii]

Caught a Modest Deoxys. I don't know about it's IVs though as I don't typically use legendaries competitively.

Hehe

 

[TCB]

Finally obtained a Destiny Knot eariler today, so now I can have fun with breeding mechanics and all of that.
