Administrators Amethyst Posted June 4, 2013 Administrators Share Posted June 4, 2013 The ocean drifts by below, water droplets clinging to the window as the plane ducks back beneath the clouds. I stare somberly out of the window, watching the world fly by... L: Hey Amie! I found a lead!A: A lead?L: Yeah- not on recovering your Pokemon, but... I think I have an idea of how you can get back to your own time!A: How could I possibly...?L: Look, there's this old guy in town visiting Professor Oak- he's a Professor from a far off region, and he was telling us about an old legend of a Pokemon in the north that can manipulate time!A: Manipulate time...? Really?L: Yeah. So if you could somehow catch that Pokemon... Maybe it could return you to your own timeline! Liddell was kind enough to get me set up with this "Professor Rowan," who's taken me on as his assistant. After his business in Kanto was finished, he allowed me to accompany him back to his home region- Sinnoh. From what I've heard of Sinnoh it's a cold, grey place. But if I have to search the darkest corners of the world to save my friends, then I will.Lithion, and Emerald- A Magneton, and a Politoed; the only survivors of my championship league victory in Johto, three years in the future. Due to my own emotional instablity, they were lost, and I was sent back to this timeline. I will find a way out though... Somehow... Liddell, a former friend from the Kanto region has stayed behind to help look for them. I'll charge on ahead.X~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XRules:Each Pokemon must be nick-namedPokemon, once fainted, must be released.Only the first Pokemon of each area encountered or gifted may be kept or caught. No exceptions.X~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XRowan finishes an interview upon arriving to Sinnoh. "Pokemon are by our side, always. I hope you will understand the meaning of those words."That was the comment left by Prof. Rowan, who has returned to Sinnoh from the Kanto region. Pokemon are by our side? That's a funny thing to say. Mine sure seem to be gone.Despite being a former champion... Or future champion depending on your perspective, I'll have to ask the Professor for a new one before I can begin my search. He's just left to return to his lab in Sandgem town, and the briefcase with the Pokemon is-- right there! Ah, the Professor forgot it. How careless... I'll get it.R: Amie!A: Professor Rowan? You left your briefcase behind at the lake.I notice two people standing behind him, looking somewhat dumbly at us.A: ...Is something wrong here?R: Ah! There it is! Amie, nice work. What I was about to do was entrust these two with their own Pokemon.A: Wha...?! Those Pokemon are crucial. You're giving them away?R: Hm! We exist side-by-side with Pokemon. There comes a time when people should meet Pokemon. There is a world that should be explored together. For them, today is that time. The place, right here. Go on! Open the briefcase and choose a Pokemon!Boy: Really?! Professor Rowan! I can't believe it! I'm so happy now that I can't keep a straight face!R: You too, Amie. Go ahead.Right... The starter. Well.I've developed a rather strong dislike for the Piplup line, and I never cared for Chimchar in the first place... So that leaves Turtwig.Boy: Then, I choose you! I'm picking this Chimchar!Other Boy: Which leaves Piplup for me...R: Amie, this is Barry, and Lucas. And each of you has chosen a good Pokemon, it seems! If you have any trouble, come see me in my lab in Sandgem. And for now, we'll be off!A: Actually professor, I got what I came for. If there's nothing else you need of me, I'm going to go my own way.With an understanding nod, he leaves. I've decided it's better not to divulge the story about being a champion from the future and all that... Perhaps better just to pretend to be a new trainer.Lucas, however, chases after the professor, leaving me alone with the hyper active one. Glee.B: ...Hehehehehe.A: Um?B: We've both got Pokemon, right? Only one thing to do! Are you up for this?A: Sigh. If you insist...B: I've always wanted to say this... The time has finally come! I challenge you to a battle!X~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XRIVAL BATTLEX~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XTackle!B: What in the...? That one hurt, you!A: Um, I'm sorry, did you expect your Pokemon to not take damage in a battle?TackletackletackleChimchar has yet to do anything but Leer.B: No way! We can keep going! This is where we hit our stride!A: okTackltackleIt keeps using Leer- and then suddenly scratch! Aaaaaand health bar fallls, and Turtwig survives in the red. That was somehow scarily close.tackle.Turtwig levels up and la-da-da-da-dee.Barry runs off... And it's time to start looking for that Legendary Time Pokemon.

Administrators Amethyst Posted June 5, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted June 5, 2013 X~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XOkay, so here we go. Our first route, and we have no Pokeballs. Let's see what we're wasting....Nevermind, Baka-desu Barry is making us go to the lake. I swear to god if I have to encounter a wild pokemon here......And it looks like 'no'. Good. Barry keeps his head today.So running through the first route. Can I make it without encountering anyting?!First patch of grass- OKSecond patch of grass- shit.A wild Kricketot appeared!"And nothing of value was lost."We get to the lab, and we're finally able to name Turtwig. I've named it Jomon Sugi, after this multi-millenia-old tree: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C5%8Dmon_SugiAnd we get a Pokedex. Didn't see that one coming.So I go to the mart and pick up some Pokeballs. Yay~Then I pop into some random house and watch TVAnd you know what's on TV?Some guy talking about how magical my fingers were as I was shoppingThat is literally the creepiest thingAre there camerasCan I sign a license formor know I'm being recordedor somethingholy shit all I did was buy pokeballsalert the press!oh wait you didAs a note, this is actually the first time I'm playing this game in English, so this is kind of new to me.So we get to the grass of the route beyond Sandgem and our first Pokemon is... unsurprisingly, Starly! This is ok tho. We catch it. We name him Roc, uninspiredly.I am deliberately not going back to Lake Verity to catch something else. Although nothing that can ever be found there is particularly appetizing, neither is a Bidoof.Go figure the second thing we find in this grass is a Shinx >.>I remember only after getting through the whole of the route to check out our natures. Roc is... Relaxed, and Jomon Sugi is... Mild. Well neither of those are great... Whatever.I now also remember why I don't check natures usually- it leads only to disappointment :IMaybe there's a larger interpersonal issue there.I'm trying to be smart and look at where I have the best chance of encountering what Pokemon, and I'm running into a different problem:I don't -like- hardly any Sinnoh Pokemon. For whatever reason, almost everything Gen IV introduced to me feels dull and grey. Like I acknowledge their decent designs, but, ick. Ick, ick, ick.There are, of course, some exceptions but on the whole......Anyway, I'm going to stop cherry picking rates. I've decided to leave Route 218 open for later, but I'm pulling out Route 204.Aaaaaand it's a Bidoof. Insert flattening trombone noises here.I'll catch it anyway and name it Derpy.Next up is the Ravaged Path. And the winner is? Zubat.Female.Well of course it is.But you know what? That's fine!It's going to be very reminiscent of Mina...But we catch it. Mina followed Soma, and were both named after Castlevania characters... Let's follow that pattern through. This Zubat will be Yoko.Derpy is... Serious nature, which is somewhat ironic. I'm suddenly imagining a Bidoof in like a business suit and tie.Yoko is... Gentle. That's fine, I guess.Route 203? Loljk we haveX~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XRIVAL BATTLEX~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XI'm thrilled, really.B: Hey! Amie! Tell me you got a little tougher!A: I got a little tougher.B: Me? Do you even need to ask? Of course I got tougher!A: I didn't need to ask... Which is why I did not, in fact, ask,B: Come on! I'll demonstrate it to you!A: Must you?Barry sends out Starly! Fortunately I know because of Roc it doesn't have Wing Attack yet. We'll use Jomon Sugi here.Jomon tackles, Starly growls.B: Don't get cocky! This isn't over yet!A: On the contrary we just started, so???????????Tacklegrowltacklegrowltackle Starly is KO'd well THAT was challengingBarry sends out Chimchar! Roc is up now.Chimchar outspeeds and uses Scratch. But we're A-OK and Wing Attack back.Chimchar uses Leer; defense falls because Big Pecks isn't a thing. Wing Attack.B: My Pokemon's running out of HP. Things could be tight here...A: Could be? No, this is good night here.Quick Attack and Chimchar is KO'd. Roc levels up too!B: What just happened? I lost?!A: Yes.B: Waah! What do you mean I lost?!A: I mean you are out of usable Pokemon and shortly must scurry to a Pokemon center.B: Well that's it! That's the last time I'll ever lose!A: okB: I'm going to be the world's toughest Trainer, and you know it!A: ok barryB: The first thing to do is take on the Oreburg City Pokemon Gym!A: yes, you do that barry, with your fire and you flying type. you beat that rock gym.B: I'm gonna toughen up for that, totally!A: ok barry. good bye....Wow I actually didn't think he'd leave when I said goodbye. I mean, not that I'm complaining...Kay, so Route 203. Pokemon? inb4 something I already haveAaaaaand it's a Bidoof. Sigh. There were at least two actually cool things I could have gotten here too, but we're going to kill this instead.Once again, the second thing I find is a Shinx. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.Cannot be enough R's there.All right. Oreburgh Gate. Hoping for a not-Zubat here.You know how I said I would stop looking at rates? I lied. And I can tell you as a result I'm not going to find a Geodude. Because that's a 5% chance, where it was an 80% chance in DP.HOWEVER I do find a Psyduck and THAT is actually okay.Roc uses Tackle- and holy god it's a critical hit no wait it survived we are OK.And boom.For a nickname... Because of Psy, I was going to name it Gangam, but this is a female, so that doesn't quite feel fitting. However, I'll name it after the female K-POP star that appeared in Gangam Style, Hyuna.Incidentally, I know someone who's cat is named after the same singer, and I can't help but I feel like I'm insulting her cat... Oh well.Hyuna is... Sassy. Could be worse I guess. I shudder to imagine a Sassy Psyduck though. Comes out of its Pokeball at all the wrong times. Whenever it doesn't want to do something it just pretends it has a headache. I'm pretty sure Misty's Psyduck was secret sassy.A random trainer: "I'll beat you with the MAGIKARP my dad gave me!"Some people are destined for greatness.Others are destined for gas stations.Route 207? Something I don't have, please!Well, Machop. I was hoping for Ponyta, but I guess that's fine. Actually, that's totally fine.Machop acquired. Nickname... We're going to be uncreative because it wont' matter. Just gonna call it Anti-Roark.Oreburgh mine, and what's it going to give me? A Geodude! Jesus, these trade-evolve Pokemon are going to be the death of me.Nickname for a rock...Actually.The first thing I think of when I think of Geodudeis Abraham Lincoln.I am legitimately prepared to ship a few hundred $R in the direction of anyone who gets the reference.woah the inside of the mine is a lot prettier than i remember.And so because basic abilities such as attacking rocks require badges in this game, we found ourselves at the Oreburgh gym. I've got three Pokemon SE against Rock, so I'm not even going to bother training for this. X~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XAMIE vs. ROARKX~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XWhat kind of a name is Roark anywayriot plsR: Welcome! This is the Orebugh Pokemon Gym!A: I gathered...R: I'm Roark, the Gym Leader!A: Gathered that, too...R: But I'm one trainer who decided to proudly walk with Rock-type Pokemon! As the Gym Leader, I need to see your potential as a trainer!A: Actually, if their only gauging potential, that may explain why gym leaders use so low-level Pokemon. Hm. I'll accept that.R: And I need to see the toughness of the Pokemon that battle with you!A: Yeah yeah...Roark sends out Geodude! Hyuna is up first!Water gun.Roark sends out Onix.Onix uses Stealth Rock! Glee.Water gunAaaaand Rorark sends out Cranidos. For this, we'll switch to Anti-Roark, who takes a little bit of damage, but that's fine.R: Think you can take down the next Pokemon like you did earlier?A: I don't expect to since it doesn't have a 4x weakness, no. But it'll go down.Cranidos uses Headbutt! Anti-Roark flinches!Well.I had not planned on it being faster, and I certainly had not planned on the flinch.And further, turns out the 2 damage I took from stealth rocks may actually be the difference between life and death here.I'll use a potion to get a better sense of the power of that headbutt- it did 20 damage, but that may have been a top-range hit.Anti-Roark recovers. This time Headbutt does 19. You know what, that's fine; let's try one more time.Potion; That time it does 21. Well fuck. I'm going to lose something one way or another.Maybe. Checking out my Pokemon, despite Jomon Sugi being a lower level, it has a higher-defense than Anti-Roark, and just a few fewer HP. Okay... Let's try it.It loses 4 HP from stealth rocks coming in, and takes 17 from headbutt, but you know what? That works.Recover Jomon Sugi. Headbutt. It now has enough health to actually survive an attack, so we can rettaliate.Headbutt. ...Jomon Sugi flinched. Are you fucking kidding me.Okay. Well, fortunately we have a super potion I found earlier. I'll use that, and try this again. Headbutt. It would also be okay if you missed headbutt once in a while.But I was planning to use that Super Potion for a safe second hit; I think there may be no way for me to win this without losing someone now.Headbutt. Jomon Sugi flinched....Well now I have no choice but to hope it misses or does something besides Headbutt.Potion on Jomon Sugi. Headbutt. Potion. ...Pursuit! Okay, we may have an opening.Potion. Headbutt. Um, actually, I still don't have the HP to get an attack in.Potion. That was the last one. Headbutt. Still doesn't miss....Oh, it has 100% accuracy. And a 30% flinch rate. For some reason I thought it was 90 and 20. Wellllllll.Jomon Sugi has 18 health. Cranidos was faster than Machop, which is strange because I thought Cranidos was really slow. But that also means it's faster than everything on my team bar Roc. Which in other words, means I lose.Well. Now my best bet is that I can let Jomon die, chump Lincoln or something while I recover Anti-Roark, and hope Anti-Roark can OHKO it.Headbutt-- Jomon Sugi lives with 1 HP! ...He gets off Razor Leaf! But will it be enough oh my god it's a fucking critical hit CRANIDOS IS OHKO'Dthat was divine fucking intervention right thereI burned 7 potions and a super potion in first gym and still legitimately thought i was going to lose the whole challenge here and nowbut bloody miracleoh my godiwowanti-roark levels up; you know what you learn foresight i dont care if its a shit move you do whatever the fuck you want honeyR: W-what? That can't be! My buffed up Pokemon!A: I'm... as surprised as you are.In my defense it was three out of three well-timed flinches that put me in that position in the first place but holy-fucking-crap lesson learned if I'm considering training or not, DO IT.R: This is embarassing.A: You're telling me...R: I went and lost to a trainer who didn't have a single gym badge...A: ...Well if it makes you feel better I'll be the Johto region champion in a few years kind of maybeR: But that's tough. You were strong and I was weak. That's all there is.A: And I had eight potions.R: According to Pokemon League rules I have to give you our gym badge since you've beaten me, the Leader.A: plsR: Here's your official Pokemon League Coal Badge!A: Oh, glee, it's just like Christmas.im stillsomewhat in shockI don't think I would have won without that critIwow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Amethyst Posted June 13, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted June 13, 2013 X~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XJomon Sugi the Turtwig- 13Hyuna the Psyduck- 12Anti-Roark the Machop- 13Roc the Starly- 11Yoko the Zubat- 3Lincoln the Geodude- 6X~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XSo we end up stopping thugs from Team Galactic from taking the Professor's research and now he's saying I should challenge the league bit~I~ ~don't~ ~care~ I just want to find my time-Pokemon, whatever that is, and get home to where I -already- cleared the league championship.So we reach Florama town and zoom right on through, so, onwards to- Route 205 is it? ...no, galactic sqweebs are blocking the path, so onwards to the Valley Windworks where if I get a Pachirisu or something I already own I'm going to cryAaaand the winner is Buizel! well, we already have Hyuna... And I'm not a huge fan of either of those (this goes back to not liking any Sinnoh pokemon)But we'll go ahead and catch it.So we have Yoko out first for switch training. Level 9 to Buizel's 10. See what an Astonish does- nothing at all. Buizel uses Watergun, and it does half of Yoko's health. Well that's good.Let's not do that. We'll call Yoko back for Jomon Sugi because there's no way Absorb will OHKO that thing and then BUIZEL USES PURSUITewuijb sdfkcvxjbkjbdfgsoyoko dies.fuck you buizel prepare to be boardedabsorb. pokeball. it breaks free. pokeball. caught.spoilers, in castlevania, the game which i took yoko's name from, the character yoko is actually killed. so we're naming buizel after her killer- graham.still effectively trading a zubat for a buizel when i already have a water type is what we call in technical terms, "not worth"so we take graham to replace the fallen yoko. and it's holding a wacan berry. i feel like that's supposed to be an apology but no....AND I JUST REALISED TODAY IS FRIDAY I COULD HAVE JUST DONE THE EVENT AND GOTTEN DRIFLOON BUT NO I HAD TO BE A DUMBSHIT AND GET BUIZELomg wtf report noob amiecan i redoso that was horrible on all levels.After beating up a few random grunts at the flower field etc though Roc evolvesSo that's goodWe get some honeyslather it on a treestep outsideoh what look its suddenly daytime huh how could that happen its almost as if somebody shifted a computer clock forward 12 hoursthe tree is shaking a wild pokemon appeared what is it watch it be something stupid like burmy...it's Aipom! not bad!Roc is out first. Quick attack! A critical hit!It uses Astonish which does nothing but it's cool that it has thatQuick Attack again, since a crit only took it to half. It's not like it's going to crit twice in a row.A critical hit!...oh.HOWEVER Aipom still survives, so good on you Aipom. Get in the ball already.It kindly does so.(after burning through like six of my eight pokeballs)So fun fact, I've literaly never used an Aipom in-game before. So this will be a learning experience.uhnameumumumi dont know...i knowKiki.NOW that seems strange considering Reborn's leader but the reason why is actually completely unrelated to herand I'll do the same thing as before, if anyone gets this reference I'll send some $R their wayis fun gameSpeaking of which, no one guessed Lincoln correctly- the reason Lincoln came to mind for a Geodude was actually a very old book back from Gen 1 titled 'How To Be a Pokemon Master'. Included in the book was a series of pretty bad jokes, and one of them I remember as such:Q: If Abraham Lincoln and Geodude were to get into a fight, who would win?A: Neither. Abraham Lincoln was a former president of the united states and is dead, and Geodude is a fictional creature from the game Pokemon.Back when I was seven, that book was the shit.Anyway, we name Aipom Kiki and in a strange twist of fate she stays in my party until I get to Cynthia, at which point she is killed by her Garchomp sorry, too soon?so apparently kiki's only offensive move is astonishwhoops.it also has pickup over technican. grr.and bold.that's bad.this is bad.i dont like this.i was going to use this but maybe notat least for now, it still beats Lincoln thoughsorry i like making stairways with text its prettyanyway let's continue making Team Galactic's day bad. it doesn't take long to encounter their boss at the Valley Windworks:X~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XAMIE vs. SAILOR MARSX~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~XM: I'm one of Team Galactic's three commanders! ...No wait, that's four commanders.A: Are you sure it's not five? Maybe two?M: I am Mars!A: Oooh, can I be sailor moon then?M: We've been trying to create a new world that's better than this one... But people have shown little understanding about what we do.A: Yeaaaah, I think most people are pretty content with this world...M: You don't understand either, do you?A: Frankly... Not at all. What's so bad about this? Aside from... everything dying...M: It's a little saddening...A: ...M: So, let's have a battle to decide what we should do next.A: Wait, what?M: If I win, you leave. If you win, we, Team Galactic, will leave!A: ...Uh, sure that works out for me nicely. Go for it.Sailor Mars sends out Zubat! Go, Roc!Roc's intimidate lowers Zubat's spunkpower. I think I'll be needing that Intimidate shortly though...For now, Wing Attack! Zubat drops to 40% health, and responds with a ...Toxic? No bueno...Wing Attack finishes Zubat off.Mars sends out Purugly!I need something to take a hit while I cure Roc's poison though... So, go, Hyuna!Purugly uses Fake Out! Which alone robs Hyuna of exactly half her health. But. Roc is detoxed, so we're going to switch that in for the Intimidate.Purugly's attack is lowered, and it uses Faint Attack for, respectable, but not unbearable damage.Pass off to Jomon Sugi. He tanks a scratch attack, so let's go for one Withdraw, and then start pounding away.Not... literal pound of course, that would be a strange move for a Turtwig to know.Purugly uses Faint Attack as Turtwig withdraws.Quick Claw activates! Turtwig uses Absorb. I choose Absorb now to see how well I can sustain off of this thing. I heal 2 HP back and a scratch does 6 damage. Let's do this for a while.Faint Attack, AbsorbAt the same time, I do NOT want to risk a crit, so I use a potion on Jomon Sugi.Faint Attack, Absorb,it crits! So I recover a nice chunk back. Okay, going to go full power.Quick claw activates; Razor Leaf! Not bad! But Purugly eats an Oran berry, recovering... It uses Faint Attack again.Aaand Faint Attack... Razor Leaf... A critical hit! Purugly is taken down!Roc levels up, aaand that's a wrap.M: This can't be... I lost?! You... uppity brat!A: You sure know how to aim an insult...M: Oops! I messed that one up!A: A little?M: That's all right, I quite enjoyed our battle.A: At least Team Galactic is a good sport... I guess.The old man standing in the corner speaks:Charon: My, my... Lose to a child will you?A: Lose to a former... well, soon-to-be... again... champion.C: But no matter. We've collected plenty of electricity. With the power we obtained, we can do something spectacular. It seems quite obvious to me, Charon, the genious that even the boss recognizes.A: Waidasecond. There's no Sailor Charon! You're a fraud!C: Now, Mars, we should be going.M: Will you shut it! The boss is the only person in the world allowed to order me around! You can keep quiet! You only joined us recently. Don't think you're important!I casually yawn and have a seat, waiting for them to be done.M: I guess it's time to say good-bye and leave for the time being!A: That was the agreement, yes...They sum noisy 'unsAnyway, I'm surprised that fight went so well... Hm. And what they say about a new world... Could be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
