Update for Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Ghost).
Update #2 on Pearl.
Next up: Iron Island, Byron, and Candice...and so on.
Team Soul:
Spooky the Quiet Haunter, ♂ - L41 @ Spooky Plate
Ability: Levitate
Moves: Shadow Ball, Hypnosis, Night Shade, Dream Eater
Impy the Mild Misdreavus, ♀ - L42 @ Mind Plate
Ability: Levitate
Moves: Psybeam, Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt, Pain Split
Zeppelin the Quiet Drifblim, ♀ - L42 @ Wise Glasses
Ability: Unburden

- Explored Wayward Cave (Zeppelin evolved!), then headed to Hearthome.
- Moving on (nothing to see here, apparently), I beat Jack, then landed in Solaceon Town.
- After exploring the ruins, I caught Spooky the Quiet Gastly in the Lost Tower.
- Made my way to Veilstone City and bought a bunch of vitamins. Spooky evolved into Haunter.
- Zeppelin destroyed the gym (along with Maylene) with Gust, and I taught her Fly after getting the HM.
- Moved on south to Pastoria and beat Wake with Spooky and Impy, who had Shock Wave.
- Chased the Galatic Grunt and talked to Cynthia, then headed to Celestic Town.
- Beat another Grunt there, and got Surf.
- Flew back to Hearthome to take on the gym, and Spooky beat Fantina easily with 3 Shadow Ball OHKOs.
- After surfing a bit, I headed to Canalve City, where I beat Jack again, then got a ride to Iron Island, where I saved.

Small update here though it's changing big things.
I've completed Kanto AND Johto in my Bug Challenge and I'm also done with Hoenn(well, I've beaten the game, but I don't have all videos uploaded yet). I do do not have started Sinnoh yet, but I'm going soon.
As for my Grass UMC, where I'm listed as a champion, well I've started Unova. That means I'm not a Champion anymore (yay for new pokemon games). I currently am in front of Nacrene GYM.
Proofs are all on my Youtube channel, since I upload every boss battle there : https://www.youtube.com/user/boblekon

although i really wanted to update after getting the third badge atleast, but it's almost 1AM here and my dad's starting to get pissed, so i'll just leave it at this for today and go to bed quick. XD;
and again on that note, to speed things up:
Challenge: UMC STEELtype, currently on CRYSTAL
Name: MEGUMI
Badges progress:
Pokémon:
also.. i obviously can't trade on an emulator, so does anyone know how i could maybe evolve Onix with a cheat or something? of course i won't do so until i find a Metal Coat somewhere, but.. even if i'd find one now, i think i'd just cheat it so that i can catch a Steelix in the wild.
anyone know about evolution cheats here? it's the first time i've ever played Crystal so i feel like a complete newb. XD;
wellthen, g'nite, y'all ~

Fire UMC: Red
I'm really pissed off by this item limit. "What? You want this HM? Sorry! You're gonna have to toss out something first!"
-Got the Dome Fossil
-Inferno beat Blue easily (surprisingly, Mega Punch is more useful than Ember, even without STAB)
-Misty was pretty difficult (even though Inferno was 8 levels higher than Starmie), but I won thanks to Mega Punch
-Taught Inferno Dig to make the fight against Surge easier
-Defeated Blue again on the SS Anne
-Caught an Oddish to be my Cut slave
-Caught a Drowzee to be my Flash slave
-I stopped Inferno from evolved at Lv36, since I want him to learn Flamethrower faster (Ember really sucks!)
-Inferno OHKOd all of Surge's Pokemon with Dig
Team:
Inferno - Lv36
-Slash
-Mega Punch
-Ember
-Dig

wish there was more dark only instead of all the dual types- would make everything more challenging :P
*edit
