Dragon116

Update #27 - FIN This is going to be a very long post due to the number of awesome battles and Julia time. I think Julia and T3RR4 are related. Once we exited the WTC, we see Julia running around a Flobot XV. And when we approach the Chateau, we are greeted with this scene. Daww, I'm touched. I'm an exclamation point. So what have we missed since we left Reborn? Hmm, I don't like the way EXPLODED is capitalized. Oh geez, could it be Team Meteor? :Kappa: :Kappa: :Kappa: :Kappa: :Kappa: :Kappa: I heal up from the Taka fight and head inside for a series of fights that were really fun. Also quite a challenge, particularly the final matchup. Well, been nice knowing you Taka. Try to stay in touch? Inside we take a defensive position and greet our first challengers, Meteor Ace Grunt and Gruntess. Malice and Hippowdon vs Leavanny and Grumpig - Malice Ice Beams and OHKOs Lea. Grumpig uses Icy Wind for minor damage. Hippowdon uses Crunch, almost killing Grumpig. Malice and Hippowdon vs Darmanitan and Grumpig - I haul in Malice for Wreckage. Grumpig Psychics Hippowdon. Darmanitan uses Hammer Arm on Wreckage.Hippowdon Crunches and kills Grumpig. Wreckage and Hippowdon vs Darmanitan and Vileplume - Wreckage Stone Edge and kills Darmanitan.

Cleared! Malice and Tropius vs Golem and Manetric - Malice Ice Beams and almost kills Golem. Manetric Discharges and paralyzes Malice and Tropius. Tropius Body Slams Manetric.

Torterra Wood Hammer and kills Golem. Team Powers Activate! PestilenceJr and Torterra vs Purugly and Noctowl - PestilenceJr Force Palms and kills Purugly.

I swap to Crime next turn, Venomoth Struggle Bugs for moderate damage, Torterra Crunches Venomoth for about 50%. Crime and Torterra vs Venomoth - Crime Sucker Punches, but fails as Venomoth uses Quiver Dance. Torterra Crunches and kills Venomoth. Nice little spar there. Lets get on to our entree, Fern and Blake. Malice and Hippowdon vs Haxorus and Walrein - Malice Ice Beams and OHKOs Haxorus. Walrein uses Blizzard, hitting Malice for chip and Hippowdon for 80%. Hippo uses Rock Slide and misses. Malice and Hioopwdon vs Krookodile and Walrein - Malice Ice Beams and OHKOs Krookodile. Walrein uses Blizzard, chipping Malice and killing Hippowdon. Malice and Torterra vs M.Scizor and Walrein - I haul Malice in for Wreckage. M.Scizor uses Bullet Punch on Wreckage for minor damage. Walrein Blizzards, damaging Wreckage and killing Torterra. Wreckage and Tropius vs M.Scizor and Walrein - Wreckage uses Stone Edge on Walrein, dropping it into red. M.Scizor Superpower and finishes Wreckage. Tropius Leaf Blade kills Walrein. Heartbreak and Tropius vs M.Scizor and Rotom-Frost - Rotom-Frost T-Bolts Heartbreak, dropping to 40%. M.Scizor follows up with Superpower on Heartbreak, dropping me to 1 HP. Heartbreak Surfs, doing about 1/3 to Rotom and 1/2 to M.Scizor. Tropius Leaf Blades Rotom and drops it to about 30% Heartbreak dies to Sandstorm damage. PestilenceJr and Tropius vs M.Scizor and Rotom-Frost - Blake Hyper Potions Rotom-Frost. PestilenceJr Force Palms and kills it. M.Scizor Superpowers against Tropius for near nothing, Tropius Body Slams for near nothing. Stupid AI.

Tropius Leaf Blades and drops Ryhperior to about 30%. Ryhperior T-Punches Tropius for about 20%. No more Blake. Looks like Fern is at least better than him. Crime and Tropius vs Ryhperior - Crime Sucker Punches Ryhperior to about 10%, Tropius finishes it with Leaf Blade. Crime and Tropius vs Roserade - Roserade uses Extrasensory on Tropius for about 15%, Tropius retaliates with Leaf Blade, dropping Roserade 10% and poisoning itself in the process. Crime Rock Tombs it down to 10% left and drops its speed. Roserade HPs Tropius for SE, but only drops it to about 20%. Tropius finishes it with Body Slam. Oooo, I'm sooo scared. What are you planning to do, become PULSE Fern? Actually that sounds terrifying. Please don't do that. Damn that's harsh Fern. I know she's Flobot, but she does love you. FLOBOTTTT! Julia hears my scream and rushes in to save the day. Serves you right for all the shit the Belroses went through. I can't wait until they find out. You'll think Corey taking out your eye was a good day. After that dramatic dinner performance, it's dessert time. Julia pops in for this one, and we go hog wild on Solaris and Orderly John. Malice and Electrode vs Excadrill and Whiscash - I haul in Malice for Wreckage. Electrode starts with Hidden Power on Whiscash. Excadrill uses X-Scissor on Wreckage. Whiscash uses Rock Slide, doing very minor damage to Wreckage and Electrode. Wreckage and Electrode vs Excadrill and Whiscash - Electrode Hidden Powers Excadrill. Excadrill EQs, bombing the entire field. leaving only Whiscash standing with 5 HP left. PestilenceJr and Eelektross vs Excadrill and Whiscash - PestilenceJr nails Excadrill with Force Palm, killing it. Eelektross finishes Whiscash off with Giga Drain. PestilenceJr and Eelektross vs Gyrados and Eelektross - I haul PestilenceJr in for Plight. Gyrados hits Eelektross with Waterfall, which retaliates against the opposite Eelektross with Flamethrower for half. The opposite mimics and Flamethrowers Plight for about 35%. Plight and Eelektross vs Gyrados and Eelektross - Gyrados Outrages on Eelektross, but it hangs in with 5%. Plight nails Gyrados with Wild Charge, OHKOing it. Julia's Eelektross Volt Switched on John's Eelektross, replacing it with Fan Rotom...with an Air balloon. John's Eelektross Flamethrowers the new arrival, hitting it for critical, but only doing 25%. Rotom-Fan has some serious special defense. Plight and Rotom-Fan vs Tyranitar and Eelektross - Rotom-Fan HPs against Tyranitar for chip damage. Plight hammers Eelektross with Crunch, leaving it with 1 HP. Tyranitar Superpowers and kills Plight. Eelektross hits Rotom-Fan with Acid Spray. Eelektross dies to sandstorm damage. PestilenceJr and Rotom-Fan vs Tyranitar and M.Slowbro - PestilenceJr KOs Tyranitar with Force Palm. Rotom-Fan Volt Switches for Eelektross, dealing 80% to M.Slowbro. M.Slowbro Surfs, killing Eelektross. PestilenceJr and Rotom-Fan vs Scizor and M.Slowbro - PestilenceJr Force Palms and paralyzes Scizor, but leaves it in the red. Rotom-Fan Volt Switches for Magnezone, killing M.Slowbro in the process. Scizor U-Turns and kills PestilenceJr, calling out Mandibuzz in the process. Heartbreak and Magnezone vs Mandibuzz and Kelceon - Kelceon hits Heartbreak with a Protean Sucker Punch, and Mandibuzz misses Snarl entirely. Heartbreak hits the other side with Water Spout, knocking Kelceon to half and Mandibuzz to 60%. Magnezon hits Mandibuzz with Thunderbolt, killing it. Heartbreak and Magnezone vs Scizor and Kelceon - Solaris Full Restores Scizor. Kelceon hits Heartbreak again with Sucker Punch. I hit them again with Water Spout, but I'm at half health so it's not good. Magnezone Flash Cannons Scizor, dropping it back to yellow. Solaris Full Restores Scizor again next turn. Heartbreak uses Protect while Magnezone finishes Kelceon off with Flash Cannon. That useless Protect turn >.> Heartbreak and Magnezone vs Scizor and Magnezone - Heartbreak attempts to Protect again, but fails and dies to Scizor's Superpower. Julia's Magnezone OHKOs it with Thunderbolt, while John's Magnezone uses Discharge. Crime and Magnezone vs Garchomp and Magnezone - Garchomp opens with EQ, triggering Crime's Sturdy and killing Julia's Magnezone off. John's Magnezone cuts me a break and uses Electric Terrain, so I counter kill Garchomp. For real. Then I die to Rough Skin. At least Solaris is out of the way. Malice and Rotom-Fan vs Magnezone - Malice uses Ice Beam on Magnezone, criticaling it down to 60%. Rotom-Fan uses Air Slash, knocking Magnezone to yellow. Magnezone Magnet Bombs me and OHKOs Malice. It's AI vs AI, just like Aya and Aster and Eclipse. Rotom-Fan vs Magnezone - Rotom-Fan uses Air Slash, while Magnezone kills it with Discharge. Bronzong vs Magnezone - Magnezone Magnet Bombs, but only does 15%. Bronzong uses Reflect. Magnezone uses Explosion, leaving Bronzong with 65% HP left. Bronzong vs Renuniclus - Bronzong Toxics Reuniclus, while it uses Reflect. Bronzong uses Gyro Ball for neglegible damage. Reuniclus hits with Psychic for neglegible damage. Repeat that again. Bronzong's Reflect faded, so it put another one up. Reuniclus Psychics. Bronzong uses Explosion, killing Reuniclus. We win because Julia has 1 more pokemon left somewhere. That's fine, because you're just an ass. When has their display been anything but? After the Meteors leave, Amaria awakens with amnesia, Flobot revives and confuses the fuck out of Julia, and Titania takes her leave. Flobot begins to follow. Yes, that's exactly what Flobot is suffering from. She had to pardon her Thanksgiving gravy for offenses committed after the feast. Nothing escapes Julia. And that ends this portion of Hardcore, at least as far as Commander is concerned. But we still have a gym battle, and I won't back down. I figured Commander didn't make any real changes, meaning Togekiss was still lead. So I popped Plight in and we began the one try slaughter. Plight vs Togekiss - I use Charge, Togekiss goes with Air Slash. I Wild Charge OHKOing Togekiss and receive serious recoil. Plight vs Noivern - Noivern strikes first with Dragon Pulse, killing Plight. Worth a shot. Malice vs Noivern - Noivern hits Malice with Dragon Pulse, doing just under half. Malice sets up Reflect. Noivern hits with another Dragon Pulse, leaving me with 8 HP. I OHKO it with Ice Beam. Malice vs Gliscor - I OHKO it with Ice Beam. Malice vs Braviary - I drop it to 25% with Ice Beam and land a freeze, saving Malice from certain destruction. Next turn Ciel Hyper Potions and I Ice Beam it back to 25%. This happens another 2 times before she runs out of Hyper Potions and I kill Braviary with a final Ice Beam. Wreckage vs Chatot - Chatot opens with boosted Boomburst, knocking me into red even though it's resisted. I smash it with Stone Edge, but it survives with Focus Sash. I die from another Boomburst. Malice vs Chatot - Ice Shard kills Chatot. Malice vs M.Altaria - Malice smashes it with an Ice Beam, but it survives with 20% and wipes Malice's 8 HP out with Hyper Voice. Crime vs M.Altaria - M.Altaria smacks Crime with an OK! EQ, dropping Crime into the red. I retaliate with Rock Tomb and finish it off. The spoils of the war And while this might be the end of the game, I'm still obliged to do our final release. Your final team, and candidates. The Selection... The Release... I hope you have enjoyed reading this playthrough of Hardcore, and that you too are inspired to be great! Or at least die spectacularly in the process. A Hall of Memories will be posted shortly in a follow up post. Feel free to post responses in the meantime.

I released my Starter in my RainbowGen run because the RNG demanded sacrifice. I also don't see this happening even if it was the first pokemon of your team, since they'd have to pop out and defend you, which would seem awkward when they aren't walking around with you already. Overall, there would be too many issues, developmentally speaking, for this to happen. 721 potential pokemon to program in that scene, or limit it to 54 (starters and evolutions) and hope it makes sense when the time comes.

Or it could be the calling card of the most interesting rock in the world. PULSE SHUCKLE CONFIRMED.

I've just been going by memory on mine. I like that yours are 100% accurate though.

Meowth for Julia, Pineco for Florina.

Fixed that Armaldo to M.Aerodactyl. I probably got confused because I remember it was a weak fossil, and so I automatically assumed Armaldo. It's dissapointed me severely in battle factory before. Still, M.Aerodactly went down quick and couldn't kill Heartbreak. I think even if Taka had a strong team, his insolence would still be punished because he lets Titania get away. I still would rather have him give me a run for my money like he did during the 2nd PULSE Tangrowth.

Update #26 So as you may or may not have read, the replacement for Frostburn was Malice the Cryogonal. I opted to make it speedy special sweeper, with reflect to give it serious defenses (135 base sp.d + reflect should be tanky enough). Planning to put a light clay on it, if that doesn't work I'm going to find an NeverMeltIce and see what shennanigans I can do. Once Malice was EV trained, I shoved a Lucky Egg on it for quicker training and off we go to the WTC! OH HAI THERE VICKY! YOU"RE A BITCH! (will pretend I said nothing if I see her again) Inside we find a distressed Titania Maybe distressed is a too generous of a word. Well we proceed through the dead grunts and start rampaging through the sewage puzzle. But how is this for malice's first fight? One shot, several thousand xp. I was happy. And then we confront Taka for a third time, where Titania calls his bluff and forces him to explain his bullshit. After which even Titania grows half a heart. Emphasis on half. Although i do empathize with her. I wish I could just tear through Siggy and the other Meteors like that too. Where was I? Oh yes, wrapping up the puzzle. So we did that with the Swalot. Swalot was a big fat meanie. Crime vs P.Swalot (which was lv 90!!) - I use Sturdy to get a Rock Tomb off, giving my team a chance to do something against him. I die to Sludge Wave and water damage. PestilenceJr vs P.Swalot - Only thing this is good for is Leech Seed, which I do, and then I die to Sludge Wave. Malice vs P.Swalot - My plan was to weaken it and have Plight finish it, but after launching a Confuse Ray and Freeze Drying the hell out of it (with two Freezes!!), I blow through the Full Restore and continue nailing it, while Leech Seed continually removes the healing water on him, Levitate Malice prevents water damage, and Leech Seed heals the damage that thing did to me with Discharge and Sludge Wave. Finally P.Swalot goes down! and then... We do. You need to stand up you wuss. Pull your big boy pants up and go talk to your father. Even if it means your death, it needs to be done. But I oblige the fight because I'm hardcore baby. All must bow before my superiority! Plight vs Klefki - This tanky little itch survived a boosted critical Wild Charge, then hits me for even more damage with Play Rough. So next turn I charge while Taka heals Klefki, and then I nail it in one shot with another Wild Charge, leaving me with 9 HP. Woo fodder. Heartbreak vs M.Aerodactly - I'm a tad slow so I take a Stone Edge, but I survive and OHKO it with Surf. Malice vs Cradily - I hit it with Ice Beam, but it survive with 45% left and kills me with Stone Edge. Poor Malice. PestilenceJr vs Cradily - Force Palm KO's it. Crime vs Chatot - Quite a scary situation when I get Chatter confused, but I pull through and nail it with Rock Tomb, which kills it after it already took Life Orb damage. Plight vs Huntail - I tried to go first, but Huntail was quicker and killed me with Waterfall. PestilenceJr vs Huntail - I hit it with Seed Bomb but took some damage from Crunch. Then, when Taka goes to heal, I hammer it with 2 Mach Punches to bring it down. Crime vs Gliscor - WUUSSSSSS! Without Sturdy Counter being an option, I use Sucker Punch to weaken Gliscor, and die to EQ. Heartbreak vs Gliscor - I figure I'd hit it with a Surf, but I get critical hit with a EQ. Shit. PestilenceJr vs Gliscor - Debated between Mach Punch and Seed Bomb, opted for Seed Bomb, and critical killed Gliscor! Phew! Taka's a wuss. I wouldn't mind seeing a buff here though. Armaldo is too weak. Maybe my team was just properly balanced for this. And that ends the WTC portion of this run. Next, and final, update will be Mansion and Ciel fights. May the odds be ever in my favor, because you've all seen the RNG sure as hell isn't.

What's even more absurd is all my gen 5 releases have been in different spots, and yet somehow SOMEHOW!!! the RNG picks their exact spot.The amount of times this has happened almost makes it look like I'm doing this on purpose but I swear to God the selection is whatever the RNG gives me on first click. Zebstrika, Sweetbat, Scrafty, Escaliver, Renuculus, Chanlure, Vanilluxe, and probably someone else I'm forgetting. I love this type of challenge but I think if I do it again I'm dropping RNG in favor of a poll. At least people are more generous. Also, my replacement for Frostburn is Malice the Cryogonal. I'm working on training it now. I'm upset that it has a -Speed nature, but hopefully with full EVs it will be able to beat Ciel's team because I can't spend another 20 minutes looking for one.

Porygon-Z is also the devil and has absurd special attack and a moveset to counter anything. Again, priority here is best.

There's a rather important item next to the factory that you raid with Fern, Julia, and Florina. I'm surprised you found that Teddiursa as it's a day-only event.In addition, many people have had glitches finding it, most likely due to story progression and weather. After Julia's badge, there's more event pokemon you can get in Peridot, but I'll let you research that on your own if you're interested. There's an event guide in the On The Hunt section. Good luck on your run!

"Magmortar still survived, though, and tried to finish Commander off with a focus blast... but missed! This allowed Commander to end the Magmortar with three more bubble beams" I laughed at this. Usually in this situation it's only 1 more attack, but in this case it took 3 bubblebeams to finish of magmortar. Rather anticlimactic. I foresee stunfisk being a great asset in your run. If you do choose to add Eeltross to your run, I'm not sure what you would replace as it's pretty slow, but makes a good mixed attacker.

I voted no on the releasing. The reason I added that to my run was having full access to any pokemon, even if I was limited to one per generation, was not a real challenge. You're already limiting yourself by only using NFE. To hobble yourself further with releasing is just brutal. However, having an obligatory fan chosen pokemon seems like a great way to include your audience.

Putting this in spoiler to support Commander's surprise wish.

I used them to denote what my pokemon were for. Circle was contests, triangle was breeding, square was PKRS, and heart was a temporary marker for when I was trading.

Update #25 I'm glad you all liked the Blake fight. He is an asshole, but it was definitely derseving of the hardcore title. Well, with Blake defeated and T3RR4 outted, my only option was to trek back to Agate Circus (coulda used a friggin lift there Cal!!). Upon reaching the performers room, I see Samson and we discuss my new finding about T3RR4. No wonder T3RR4 is the Ciel Tamer. Rawr. She also is left aghast at the accusation the MC has against T3RR4. Well of course the only way through this to to confront her ourselves. But why? Not the classic supervillian I see. Perhaps some enhanced interrogation. Wait what! No you - Damn she's slippery. I guess it's time to play Digimon. Or Tron. Note to Ame - Add Tron reference. And maybe some hidden items. Did you...just try...to kill...me? That's it babe, we're through! Also, the murderer of Red/Blue speedruns right here Well we went on a nolstalgia run with old Mt.Moon, Victory Road, Lavender Town, and saw the olden days of Reborn. Why look, even here it verifies there never was a lucky egg or exp. share. What witchcraft is Commander trying to cast on me? Oh wait here it is. SERIOUS SPOILER! This is a super special awesome bonus fight. If you would prefer to keep it a surprise, do not open this following spoiler. Definitely a good bonus fight. To all Hardcore runners with 1.7 and later, you'll like it. Moving on to Mewtwo, it of course couldn't go without a boost. This one is Mega Y. Grr. My standard team had nothing on it, so I went back, swapped Heartbreak for Sturdy Magnemite that I named Aggression, and returned to give it a good pummeling. Magnemite vs M. Mewtwo Y - I almost die to Psystrike, but Sturdy kicks in and lets me get off a Thunder Wave. I die next turn from Ice Beam. PestilenceJr vs M. Mewtwo Y - I get off a Leech Seed and die to Psystrike. Crime vs M. Mewtwo Y - Thanks to Sturdy, I survive the Ice Beam and get a lucky hit with Stone Edge. Leech damage kills M. Mewtwo Y. Game. Mewtwo gets whiney and then teleports me to the Tower of T3RR4. It also won't let me backtrack so i'm stuck with a 5 pokemon team again, just like with Luna. Frostburn vs Giovanni - I can't believe how fast this Nidoking is. Hits me with Sludge Wave, triggering my Weak Armor. I go with Freeze Dry as Blizzard wasn't making it a OHKO and would prompt a Hyper Potion or whatever. So one slow Freeze Dry and one fast Freeze Dry leaves one KO'd Giovanni. Crime vs Exokill - Sturdy Counter. Nuff said. Crime vs Hiphopotomus - I get off a Sucker Punch and fall to EQ. Overkill for 1 HP lol. Frostburn vs Hiphopotomus - Blizzard gets first strike, and KO's it. I take a little sandstorm damage. PestilenceJr vs Swagsire - I go with Seed Bomb and only manage about 30%. What the hell. I get Scalded, Burned, and damn near die. I go with another Seed Bomb for 15% and die to another Scald. Wreckage vs Swagsire - I seriously expected this to go poorly, but Swagsire couldn't make a dent on Wreckage with any attack! I was flabberghasted, but I took full advantage of it and set up 3 Shell Smashes. At the end I went with Cross Chop and KO'd Swagsire. Wreckage vs Clayboybunny - Surf OHKO. Ya, I had to teach surf since I didn't have Heartbreak. Wreckage vs Rawrchomp - I figured I had this in the bag. i go with Surf...and Rawrchomp survives with about 30% left. I die to something. Frostburn vs Rawrchomp - T3RRA uses a Hyper Potion on Rawrchomp, while Frostburn thrashes it with Blizzard. The spoils of the battle Well with this badge, it's time for our penultimate release (although granted our last release is pointless). Here's the candidates The Selection... The Release... Time to go save Amaria. I hate the RNG. I really, really, really, hate it.

No I got it Commander. I see your reference, Let me just say MA is absurdly OP in there. Took 2 deaths to bring it down. Grim was also rather aggro, but I Leech stalled it. I'll have a full update maybe later today. But yes, that bonus fight was defeated. EDIT: I hate RNG. I really, really do. Full story in many hours from now.

I can agree with that. I don't know of any other fighting type with a good rock move available. Thanks to Emboar's bulk, you could even use him to kill off a flying type. Too bad Gliscor's ground type is resistant to Rock, making it a neutral move.

Woah I missed quite a few updates. Where did you get that Electabuzz from? Also, hopefully Dragon116 can make an appearance elsewhere, but Zumi seems to be doing a great job of replacing it. Luxray for days.

5 screenshots isn't that bad. I usually have 15 give or take on mine. And don't even talk about DerrogatoryTrainer's posts. Screenshots for miles.

Damn I'm surprised Pachi was still useful for you. Impressive.Pelliper i've seen work for people, so that's a good one. I prefer Scrafty over Pangoro, but whatever works for you. Meowstic is ok. I prefer Alakazam. There are definitely a lot of psychic options you could use for Meowstic, with Metagross and Malamar being great choices. Delphox covers your Psychic role plenty well though, so you may want to find another type, maybe Ground for Meowstic? Weezing is a bluky pokemon so no problems with that, but Venoshock and Sludge Bomb seems pointless. I would replace Venoshock with something else for coverage, no sense in having 2 offensive moves of the same type. You have the right idea with Pangoro having SkyUppercut and Low Sweep - same type different purpose.

Update #24 Well, I'm back up and running. Got the hardcore that commander put up, hopefully the end game is the same. Also got Rejuv for my next fan game to play. But after this I'm going to play White 2 because I never played the sequels before. But before that, we need to finish this up. So we last left off getting ready to go against Blake, the jackass with the attitude...and blue hair to distinguish him from the green-haired jackass with the attitude. But first, the path from PULSE Avalugg. Once the Avalugg and gigantic iceburg was removed, Shelly apparently stalked me and commented that this was obviously a stupid place to put the Avalugg. My guess is this is Taka's work. But I follow Shelly through the new path and into Ametrine. Inside we learn that people are being starved! Oh the humanity. It actually took me awhile to figure out how to trigger the house event because I forgot who I was supposed to talk to. Eventually I did figure it out, and then Blake appears and is all "Get out." As if he owns this house. LIES! Chasing him back to his apartment, we decide not to give him the ring, so he steals it (dem butterfingers be whack), and leaves us clueless. Since Shelly is relatively useless at this time, I leave the apartment and bump into Cal...who since dyed his hair blue to get back to his natural color (who the fuck has naturally blue hair besides Marge Simpson? Seriously). Poor Shelly. She's the most traumatized character ever. I thought Luigi was bad. BTW, Heather is E4 He tells us about the secret passageway in his house, and we go back into the apartment for the clue hunt. After many bits and piece fall together, the bookcase opens and we find the passage to the food storage unit. And inside we get this little redemption scene Damn that girl has some attitude. I also wonder how she ever met Blake. Corey can't have introduced her because she was surprised to learn he was a meteor agent. Perplexing. And then the feel good moment of reunion. So once that's solved, we head off to the top of the mountain to chase Blake. I'm not sure why he would humor Cal this long, but whatever. Face smashing of the new "Meteor Aces." And then Heather meets Cal. Gee she sure got chipper. So we work our way up the hill with Cal, switch off to Shelly at the stairway, she lose to Blake, and battle time! Also, since I switched to a new version of the game, the text got magnified, but that's the only issue with the game. PestilenceJr and Crime vs Jynx and Frost-Rotom - Took me forever to figure this out, but eventually I got the perfect opening combination. Sucker Punch from Crime against Jynx OHKO, Force Palm from PestilenceJr against Frost-Rotom OHKO. Score! PestilenceJr and Crime vs M.Glalie and Vanilluxe - After a few tries, I figured this situation out. Crime is hopeless after this point, so I let him Sucker Punch Vanilluxe while I haul PestilenceJr in for Wreckage. M.Glalie hits Wreckage with Freeze-Dry for an OHKO, and Vanilluxe demolishes Crime with Blizzard. Heartbreak and Frostburn vs M.Glalie and Vanilluxe - I figured Heartbreak would be the target of a Freeze-Dry and whatever Vanilluxe was going to do, but apparently M.Glalie derps and goes after Frostburn with Freeze-Dry, which made Heartbreak's Protect a wasted turn. Vanilluxe goes next with Flash Cannon against Heartbreak, which is blocked, so not an entire waste, but woulda done better to Water Spout and clear their field. Frostburn wraps the turn up with Blizzard, dropping M.Glalie about 1/3 and Vanilluxe into the yellow. Next turn Blake heals Vanilluxe as expected, while M.Glalie opens the turn with another Freeze-Dry against Frostburn. Frostburn retaliates with Blizzard, dropping M.Glalie down into the yellow and Vanilluxe about 1/3. Heartbreak follows through with a Water Spout, which fails to kill anything. Then, in a move that really surprised me, Blake has M.Glalie use explosion, dropping Heartbreak to 1 HP and killing everyone else. Then Heartbreak dies to hail so it's a 2-2 final. Plight and PestilenceJr vs Weavile and Walrein - The only thing that could go wrong here is an Ice Shard from Weavile to PestilenceJr, but it doesn't happen so Weavile gets pwn'd with a Mach Punch. Plight goes next with a Wild Charge, rapidly depleting Walrein's HP...to 1. AAAAAAAAAHGHGGH. Walrein goes with Avalanche, which scares the crap out of me because I figured it was a double target attack...but only PestilenceJr dies. YAAAAY. Next turn Blake heals Walrein and I set up Charge, losing a little more health to my already recoil damaged Plight. Next turn the Wild Charge clears Walrein in one hit this time, leaving me with this That's 56 HP on Plight, so definitely a close one. Indeed it was you asshole. Gimme the ring or else! I really hate the MC. So fucking useless. Once Blake takes off, we tell Cal about the sleep spell over Agate, and that it was Terra who told us. Our next assignment. And the team that got me through this Glitch Field up next. Zoiks!

How about break the 18 types into the smogon tiers? 2 OU, 10 UU, 6 PU/NU
