I'm still a bit unclear on what all the roles are

Only thing is the fairies already mostly prefer Sp Attack so a physical mon is less common, and therefore more valuable in this case

“ruins your plans" Yeah your plan to sword them XD

They'd probably have to be hit by an effective weapon to die in one night right? Unless they take multiple attacks

Can't say I have any news either

Perish Song Wigglytuff

Well it gains Poison after going SSJ, so it can be poisoned while it's still just Grass...and then it stays poisoned

Nah go ahead. Especially since the opposition seems to always have better items than us anyway

I see. I wasn't totally sure if Sigmund would try to go upstairs, but I guess that was changed by my choice to fight Sirius first this time

Chapter 9: Fighter's Block Soleil heads back through the forest in search of medicine for Anna Nostra. Luckily, the mart has reappeared on the other side! I succeed in my errand, but more conflict would be incoming. The manor soon comes under assault by Team Meteor, and Dr. Sigmund is with them... Vs. Dr. Sigmund Connal (honestly f*** this guy) why am I dealing with evasion hax from bloody Sigmund of all people So after some extremely frustrating fights with the doctor our ramparts are breached, and Charlotte and Shelly are Taken (I was hoping they'd take Saphira honestly, but I messed up somewhere). I follow the eldest Belrose to the Meteor base in Tanzan Mountain to recover them. Tanzan Mountain Base Infiltration Saphira and I are forcibly removed from the lab and sent...somewhere. Of course, it's not that easy to stop a wild dragon lady, or...the sun? (the words aren't really coming to me today) Tanzan Mountain Base 2 (Vs. Pokémon Gargantuan, Vs Meteor Admin ZEL PULSE Abra, and (bonus?) Vs. Prodigy Noel) This is the first time I've had real trouble beating Noel; I finally understand why he can be so difficult. Since I lack resistance to his attacks it's easy to be overwhelmed (I miss Magneton...). These fights against Noel got pretty ugly...I have a whole other video full of my failures I'm not gonna- Actually, you know what? I'll post it anyway, since I'm sure some of y'all probably enjoy watching my pain...I mean it's cool if you're in to that sort of thing, to each their own Vs. Prodigy Noel 2 (my shortcomings, for your pleasure) I got close several times, but ran out of steam in each attempt. This suggested to me that strategically I was mostly fine, I really just needed a few more levels to defeat him. So, after some training to fix my underlevelled-ness, this is the team that was victorious: This time I'll be taking that badge Vs. Prodigy Noel 3 See? Much better. I question Noel's lack of understanding of the Magic Bounce ability however. This time he wasted all of Wigglytuff's turns throwing out useless Thunder Waves Noel's not especially confident that Saphira could have survived the encounter with Lin, but he asks me to look for her anyway. I've had numerous slip ups recently...maybe someday I'll actually know what I'm doing? Stay Tuned~

I'm down. No clue how this will go, but that's part of the fun, right?

Ooh I'm so down! I-I mean if you'll have me, of course

Yeah I've been following your run, I saw how Topsy-Turvy kind of just breaks everything . Maybe if Inverse Field ever has a bigger presence it will be improved. If there were an area where it occurred in the field maybe the trainers there would know how to use it

@St0mpa I get that he's trying to hit the other opponent, but I still blame him for picking a move that will fail 50% of the time when he could just use Shadow Ball or something

This next chapter dealt a blow to my confidence honestly...see for yourself Chapter 8: Don't Be Discouraged, Don't Be Afraid Soleil now has the Strength to continue the search for the stolen kids, so let's get to it! After clearing a path through the Railnet, the only way forward leads to the supposedly abandoned Yureyu Building. I'm paired with Cain for the infiltration. Yureyu Building (Vs. Meteor Admin Sirius) So I chose to face Sirius here this time...maybe that was a mistake. I would say I had some very questionable luck with statusing Chandelure (and questionable luck in general really). Also Cain was giving me basically nothing (seriously what the hell Cain, I saw you trying to Thrash a ghost type more than once). But I think we all know the real reason I kept losing is that I'm a trash video gamer. I felt compelled to end this video once it approached 40 minutes (!), half of which consists of me getting my arse handed to me... If you're still reading for some reason, in the next video I rematch Sirius. Let's see what happens... Vs. Meteor Admin Sirius (maybe let's do it right this time) So I eventually pull it off, yay. My team's rather light on bulk, a bit outside my comfort zone I recovered all the kids, but Anna's Amethyst Pendant was taken. We can't afford to stick around though. Leaving Reborn I was asked to find medicine in Spinel Town for Anna Nostra, who has become ill, but the mart disappeared, only to be spotted on top of Voclain Estate (it is estate, right?) where gym leader Serra lives. Before I continue I have some errands to do. One of them involves venturing back into the forest on a dark and windy night, only to find myself in a strange cave... I rescue this homeless Pokémon, whose master has already met his fate... But with me he can lead a happy life. After another diversion/mini training session, a change occurs: Of course I had to correct when I accidentally made a Sylveon instead of an Espeon. Apparently that one takes priority, so no keeping Charm. I did go for Baton Pass though. So since I can't reach the mart, I might as well fight Serra I guess...This is the team I brought: So my foray into Serra's gym follows. I never did like looking at myself in mirrors... Vs. Beauty Queen Serra (also Vs. Lepidopterist Bennett I guess) The only particularly memorable bit from the Bennett fight is how his Venomoth outsped my Ninetales. I guess it's not actually that implausible, but I still find it unacceptable. I was basically going easy on him, yet he still stood no chance prime E4 material for sure. Now Serra on the other hand...I realize that was just 3 attempts, but it sure felt like a lot more. I like how it seems like it's under control until it's not anymore; there seem to be mere seconds between me being all confident and me in fetal position, crying on the cold, icy floor. At least she told me not to get discouraged...I'm not all that happy about using the tried-and-true strategy of Nature Power spam, never mind that Froslass picking Frost Breath over Shadow Ball probably enabled my win. I would have hoped to make it more elegant. Poor Phaethon took a beating in both fights actually, seems like my attempted evasion hax did nothing (because of course not). But I'm sure he will get his day in the sun eventually. After the fight Bennett leaves with that incredibly questionable El character. Serra's pretty upset actually, but she insists on not worrying about it too much, gotta be cool like an Ice leader I guess. The mart vanishes from atop the estate; Serra suspects it is not too far away. We're still in search of that medicine. Stay Tuned~

@Anti_Hero I chose to arrest Megagun and got killed for it when I was really trying to catch you, so I guessed wrong. But I think we (the Town) had likely already lost by then anyway since you were also the Silver Knight

I hope, nay command, that the beast what slayed me is found. Remember, the king's orders are absolute!

Well I'm not a vampire. Whether or not y'all believe me is your choice, though the real vamp(s) would know this already
