Blake

Ayyyyyy! Someone else that's in the Unova region! This ought to be be good to watch!

 

Though I have a huge question: Blaze Part  and Volt White, what are they specifically?

I'm glad you asked! Blaze Black and Volt White... Are difficulty hacks. They up the general challenge of the game, most notably with the level curve, but they also offer a good number of Quality of Life changes, one of which can be seen... here!

 


Part 1-1: Trailblazer

 

So, skipping Juniper's slow walking animation and the appearance of Bianca in my room, we can get straight to opening the present! But, I was rather surprised by the starter choices. I don't think any of them are things I would expect to be randomized in, because they really stick out like sore thumbs...

 

iydJvhw.png

 

Snivy became Beldum!

 

BLTnAG1.png

 

Tepig is now Piplup!

 

2OJOmSn.png

 

And Oshawott was replaced with Caterpie!

 

A pseudo-legendary, an actual starter, and the first bug pokemon... Are absolutely not what I was expecting.

 

Do I take Beldum, who will be hard to train but rewarding in the end?

 

Do I take Piplup, who will be consistent throughout?

 

Or do I take Caterpie, who will probably make the early game simple, then drop off quickly?

 

Well...

O2KfVCu.png

 

We're going with Caterpie! I'm up for a challenge, and I know this difficulty hack gave it more starting moves to be randomized, so let's see what we can work with... But first, Bianca!

 

G47taai.png

 

So, with her sending out her penguin, I checked up on Caterpie.

 

IFfrZFD.png

 

Oh my God, it's a girl! I'm so g- PURE POWER? Jesus Christ, I know Butterfree only has a base 45 ATK stat, but that makes it a decent mixed attacker. What moves does it have?

 

P1SwYdE.png

 

I am pleased with this. Not sure why it has the 4th move, though, since the hack only gives it one extra starting move... I didn't turn start with 4 moves on... And checking the doc to be safe, Piplup only has 2... Strange. But the piplup is no trouble.

 

I use Frustration, it uses Reflect type. I use Heart Stamp, it barely survives and flinches. I use it again, it dies... And Caterpie levels up!

 

RoeMMuc.png

Why yes, I will take Tail Glow over Spider Web!

 

Which moves us on to Cheren. With Beldum. Who I have no real means of damaging.I try Tail Glow into Ice Beam, praying for high damage and/or a freeze... but there's no such luck. Instead, I learn that Beldum has Color Change as its ability, and the next attack is Heart Stamp in an attempt to make it flinch... Which did a ton of damage.

 

And his Beldum has Meteor Mash from the getgo. First hit did 12 damage, second did 7, so I thought maybe that lowroll had saved me... But nope, I still lost to him. It's alright, because it was impossible (without the knowledge of Color Change) to win in that matchup, and it's pre-obtaining Pokeballs, so it's not the end.

 

I wish Caterpie could have evolved to Metapod before going to see Juniper, but que sera sera. With the battle over, I decide to check on Caterpie's nature.

 

pL2GorH.png

 

That is one determined bug. She will punch the hell out of anything in her way. I think I know what I'm gonna call her now...

 

After heading down to see mom, she gave me a present she doesn't in normal Black version... What has Blaze Black given me now?

 

XB3FnnL.png

 

B I K E

Well, that's certainly a nice QoL touch. I ride to Bianca's house to chase her back to Juniper, then ride back to Juniper. And, upon asking me to name Caterpie, there's only the one name I can give her.

 

1OI6zHd.png

 

Let's go, Ogre!

 

No, not Shrek Ogres. Another Ogre. I think it'll be more clear next time, when...

 

d6r1OG4.png

 

We tackle Route 1! So excited!

Part 1-2: A pool, Ogre! A poooool!

 

0Ndomgx.png

 

And one annoying tutorial later, we're back! Still on the swanky early bike, to boot. Now we've got that compltely meaningless "competition" with Bianca and Cheren to see who catches the most pokemon on Toute 1... So we'll all be tied at 1 Pokemon each. Hooray. So, what do I get?

 

88XmNc2.png

 

One swimmy boi! I'm sure that Donut will get along swimmingly with Ogre. He seems to like smacking things just as much. So, since this part is rather short... Let's get some grinding done.

 

1W6DKjq.png

 

It is Ogre's rival, Kenny. I could probably one-shot with Heart Stamp, but let's see what he can do...

 

7QNA3fY.png

 

Oh. Um. Where were you when I needed to freeze Beldum?

 

xzWXfZ4.png

 

And now it's my worst enemy. funking hell, I'm just glad it wasn't my encounter.

 

X6i0Bkf.png

 

This prick smacked me 5 times. 5. How dare he. Ogre will use him as a stepping stone. Come oooon Metapod!

 

After the grinding, we make it to Accumula Town! And we're rewarded with another boring tutorial, this time explaining... How the Pokecenter works. I know it was merged with a mart this gen, but still. So, with that skipped overrrrr

 

TVMhD19.png

 

We overhear that there's a commotion in the town plaza. Well, we should check that out, right? But we're running short on time... So let's just look at the party thus far!

 

nvuObtu.png8sffDL0.png

 

Ogre evolved, learning U-Turn.

 

Donut hit 7, learning Water Pulse.

 

Productive segment, for how short it was!

But for now, it's time for next time on Blacklocke!

Part 1-3: N-ber One


 


MoLARV2.png


 


Welcome back to our adventure through Blaze Black! Last time, we had Donut join our team! He and Ogre are already the best of friends! And now to see what that commotion was about...


 


Ol5AXYY.png


 


Yes, Cheren? Why are you blocking my vision of the event?


 


15qZBSp.png


 


Oh. It's just the villain. Carry on.


 


chbE4I2.png


 


Aaaand here he is. This is not going to be fun.


 


JneBTl6.png


 


Yep. N is here to funk my sheet up for not agreeing with his ideals.


 


sMjHa5N.png


 


Oh, Slakoth! That's not too bad. Donut took some damage, but a few Rolling Kicks and a flinch later, it went down. Good job, Donut! 


 


But that's not all! In Blaze Black, N has 3 level 6 Pokemon. I decide to give Donut a rest, and send out Ogre.


 


YeflHh4.png


 


It's just a Clefairy summoning a sandstorm. Ogre's a swole lady, she can do it, right?


 


Well, I figure U-Turn will one shot... and it doesn't. Sloppy play on my part. I swap out with U-Turn, and run right into...


 


PaYJMN2.png


 


DONUT NOOOOOOO


 


And so, Ogre's new friend died. Due to my poor play and N being a funker with 3 Pokemon, I have already lost a team member.


 


Ogre makes short work of the Clefairy after that, and N sends out his last Pokemon.


 


caVRyUK.png


 


A Meowth. It knows Spike Cannon, but it's taken down quite easily. So the battle is done, N leaves, and Cheren gives this insight...


 


iFnlEnj.png


 


Yeah. He killed my Donut. Kinda strange indeed.


 


H9mME6y.png


 


I had to set up the grave with my first encounter. This sucks.


 


oaCBmmF.png


 


Next time, we find a new party member and beat up some trainers. Plus, our first three items in the overworld!

Really? Huh, that's actually pretty interesting indeed. And the fact that you got the bike right off the bat? Luuuuuuucky!!!

 

That said, I'd probably have gone a different direction with the stater selection: either Beldum or Piplup. No offense to Ogre whatsoever, but for me, I'd probably would've gone for one of them. Still, I'm totally happy with my run's starter of Sceptile. Also, three episodes up today? Wow, you really must've been itching to get this started!

 

Can't wait for more, and hope the best for Ogre!

Hey, like I said, I wanted to make it a little tougher on myself. But, like... I think Beldum was just as wrong here for reasons that might be relevant soonish.

 

Piplup was probably the safest all around pick, though.

 

And 3 episodes? Darling, you mean at least 4!

 


 

Part 1-4: Mother and Child

 

P26C8vL.png

 

Welcome back to Black's White Hot Blacklocke! Last time, we had to bury Donut, which I'm... still pretty sore about.  At least we're on our way to get a new party member.

 

So, let's get on that!

 

kHB6yDs.pngLGljIlb.png

 

Oooooooor not. Got a phone call from mom...

 

3RtBCrD.png

 

wait why did you call if you are right behind me

 

zqgLgoK.png

 

but you already gave me the bike

 

I guess these are nice, too, though. Ah well, bye mom!

 

CNBRFAF.png

 

And the first item of the game is an Air Balloon! One use sucks, but... It will proooooobably save my hide later.

 

So, with that, we're off to find a new companion for Ogre!

 

dRoQi00.png

 

A Venonat? On one hand, I love it... On the other, I really don't need another bug right now... Shame. Trace is kinda cool, though.

 

R2RKImK.png

 

Let's give a big welcome to Haraa! It was supposed to be Hara, but I double clicked! Go me!

 

Also... This is a physically inclined Venonat with a lot of solid physical moves... I think we just found Ogre's baby. Lost a potential hubby, gained a round child. Donut, you sly dog.

 

After a quick heal, we're back on the route, when...

 

fBGryjc.png

 

I was set upon by my first random trainer! And he has a Riolu no less. That's a little spoopy, for what was once a Patrat or Lillipup.

 

KGeVB5L.png

 

Oooor not. 2 hearts are all it took to stamp it out.

 

This was followed by a Tyrogue and a Meditite, which went down with similar or less effort.

 

He was quickly followed by another trainer, this time a Lass.

 

VH8hk9l.png

 

... Oh God, I have 2 bugs. Please, don't be a flying trainer. Please. Please.

 

VLdBfu3.png

 

Oh. Ogre got the memefreeze again. Ogre what the hell.

 

HSij6E7.png

 

Good news, everyone! This lass is a water trainer, not flying! Heart attacks can wait! Except, you know, Heart Stamp.

 

sDvXsaz.png

 

And then there was this Magikarp that just used Rollout, but died to endless Fury Cutter.

 

There was also a Barboach, but it died super quick, so shrug.

 

However, we got something else out of this!

 

Slbucj5.pngL6DYBOq.pngjg1iank.png

 

Ogre is now a fully evolved Butterfree!

 

I considered both of these moves, but I didn't wanna give up U-Turn, Heart Stamp, Tail Glow, or Ice Beam for these. Kind've a shame, but hey.

 

y8hIgYG.png72x7FjB.png

 

And our next two items are... an evolution item for Kingda and a thing that makes me lighter. Oh. That's... not great. Daaaaaaamn.

 

ZsCWHAc.png

 

Finally, we have this steel-type kid. He had 2 Bronzor and something I forget, but he also had...

 

LIueuxG.png

 

Beldum! With Immun... oh wow. Talk about useless abilities, especially pre-Gen 7. Cheren seems to have been lucky with the Color Change one, weird as that is to say.

 

9Gh1Tcz.pngh2I1eEI.png

 

But, with that kid beaten, we're done for the day. Did a lot for such a small route. Let's look over the team before we go.

Part 1-5: Blanc et Noir


 


Z1MCRAS.png


 


Aaaand welcome back! Last time, we got a new member for our team, cleaned up a route, and sat here!


 


ETksHGS.png


 


Aaaand now Bianca is mugging us. Welp. At least I'm 90% sure she's a water type trainer.


 


hi0ITSG.png


 


Oh.


 


yoo1wuC.png


 


THIS DUCK HAS ACROBATICS SAVE ME


 


Well, Ogre survived just barely, but it's going to be on Haraa to fight Piplup now...


 


nnyg6G4.png


 


Oh. It just reflected my type. Twice. Bianca went down with only the fanfare of "ACROBATICS NO".


 


jrTlNJ8.png


 


With that out of the way, we enter Striaton City for the first time! The first gym! The dreamyard! And a special present?! Let's find out what's in store!


 


YXt8V3J.png


 


10 Dive Balls. Kinda interesting. Note that items given like this aren't randomized, sadly. Memes would follow.


 


0EzC9AF.png


 


And one Great Ball! That's pretty swell.


 


oHmcW95.png


 


Now, I could go challenge Cheren, who's waiting at the Trainer School... But I don't feel too confident about fighting Beldum again rn, so I'm going to go to the Dreamyard first. There's an encounter that's normally a barrel of monkeys.


 


lWJfOVv.png


 


>Psychic


 


F U C K


 


Welp, gonna be depending mostly on Ogre one-shotting dudes. The ralts, and another one, went down pretty easy... But then this funker happened.


 


AeGqpRN.png


 


And nothing went wrong, though I just had a bad feeling about it. I could look at the document and...


 


Oh. It knew Pscyho Boost. What the hell. Glad I fought that with Ogre. And hey, Ogre was rewarded!


 


yHokOLK.pngCDxCC0A.pngXAqYSTa.png


 


Three level up moves!


 


I probably should have kept tail glow, but Quiver Dance felt like a generally better pick on a physical Butterfree like Ogre. On the other, Tail Glow makes it special again, so it was a toss up. Other two just didn't feel quite good enough.


 


69BA2Wq.png


 


There was also this Meditite. It didn't take much, either.


 


qrqne0h.png


 


Damn you, small bush. I guess I'll simply carry on and fight Joey.


 


ndYw26V.png


 


Oh.


 


iKm97ED.png


 


But it's alright, it just used Poison Tail, iirc. Went down easy.


 


zaxj3bF.png


 


After the battle, we found a Dragon Gem! What's with these one-shot items?


 


But what we came for was not battles or items. No, it was a randomized monkey. So, what has my monkey become?!


 


og3kcW3.png


 


tenor.gif?itemid=4710291


 


How did you evolve so early? Does "similar strength" not apply to trades and gifts? Are you actually going to save me from nuzlocke loss?


 


8JJtRrK.png


 


Well, he's certainly suited to being a tank. All he really does rn is stall and... wait what are you drinking. Nope. Nope. Not asking that.


 


iYfW3uj.png


 


Heading back to town to heal, I decided to take a stop westward, and I was lucky enough to find this shiny coin. It will make my wallet much fatter.


 


ugSsi4s.png


 


But now it's time for Cheren. I wasn't there for the leader, but it's what he wanted to hear, so why not?


 


CYHvedG.png


 


but we already had an indoor match


 


PQYJk1G.png


 


WHAT IS WITH ALL THE STUFF THAT KILLS MY D-


 


3jmiQLH.png


 


Oh okay


 


qkwHqOi.png


 


And then there was Beldum, which Mobile took care of by stalling. Good job, Mobile.


 


Now, when you play the base versions of Pokemon Black and Pokemon White, Cheren gives you berries right here. So, what does he give you in this hack?


 


UZOBP27.png48utraG.pngANjAdUB.png


 


IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO DIE, SMALL BUSH!


 


Yes, we receive Cut from Cheren here. What some people don't realize is that Generation 5 removed the Badge requirements for HMs, meaning you can use them the moment you have them/a pokemon with the move. As such, Cut can be used now, instead of waiting to get it until after we beat the Gym.


 


d9K72Tj.png


 


Also of note is that Cut has been given a great buff in this (and other) difficulty hacks. 60 Power, physical, Grass move, with 100 Accuracy is much better than it normally is.


 


qrqne0h.png


 


I return, small bush. And I bring a turtle with a knife.


 


VM9ohq0.png


 


Next time, we explore the Dreamyard, and we begin our assault on the Striaton Gym!

Part 1-6: Oh No


 


UWfyZeo.png'


 


Welcome back to "we defeated the small bush" bros! This time, we have more of the Dreamyard to explore, so let's head right in!


 


p7EruRn.pngthEbMgQ.pngjfEt8fo.pngfI4yOgp.png


 


And this hack turns all the items here into TMs. Usually, they're reasonably useful TMs, but this batch isn't... Great, and my team isn't really able to use most of them.


 


But this should give you an idea of how hard even the first gym will be, if they're willing to give you 4 reasonably good TMs here.


 


J6yOzyZ.png


 


And our encounter is an Ekans! It only really used Sweet Scent, though... I wonder why...


 


KqUbGla.png


 


Hi Mikky! What do you d- oh. That's why. Ehhhhhh.


 


o1u8c3Y.pngKwpRwJI.png8L1XIJr.png


 


I also decided to go clean up on some of the items I had previously missed in Striaton and below the route, with the latter 2 requiring Cut. The Insect Place is the nicest, but the Miracle Seed is fine, too. Guess we're done with everything before entering the gym...


 


tUDTgjO.pngv5c6s1O.png


 


We found the gym quite easily, and... He thinks I had an Oshawott. Sure. Let's go with thaaaaat. Can I go in now?


 


0wmYKmF.png21BNA50.png


 


Well, we got one foot in the door before Clyde came and shoved a fresh water into my hands. I mean, I'll take it.


 


JeolOwj.pngIHU9hCv.pngy6W1FJc.png


 


"Puzzles"


 


I hear you say "but what about the waiter and waitress?", and I say... Dear Lord.


 


xiaccpj.png


 


Oh no.


 


That is a Staravia. I know I have Mobile for tanking, but I still hope this isn't a Flying gym. Please.


 


F7anBeL.png


 


NO.


 


This makes it more likely to be Flying... And this Tranquill was just annoying as always, albeit in a different way.


 


jCLhAuc.png


 


But hey, punching it got me Aqua Jet! I deleted Clamp instead of Whirlpool for it, since Blastoise is a bit better at Special Attacking than Physical.


 


Okay, on to the Waitr-


 


EtXeeNr.png


 


N O


 


Welp, the chances of this NOT being a Flying gym is getting smaller and smaller. Which scares me out of my mind.


 


AZV3Y48.png


 


THIS ROUGH OWL IS NOT HELPING MATTERS


 


UYTE3AS.png


 


Aaaaaaand there it is. The 100% confirmation of Flying Gym. funk. I really hope my Gym Leader Battle isn't that one type...


 


rdRqqi5.png


 


And that's all for now. I need to do some grinding before I take on the leader, so we'll see you next time for our first Gym Leader Battle!

And we're back. Time to take the plunge.


 


IBRnmSz.png


 


Let's go.


 


jTIwKSr.pngIDmgpHU.pngkQ5pnps.png


 


And this gym has 3 leaders. Chili, Cilan, and Cress, with each normally representing one of the Starter types... But this time, I'm afraid they might have birds. And I'm worried about the battle format...


 


R7fKakI.pngoG1mADs.png


 


Thank God.


 


I knew one version of this hack had a Rotation Battle while the other had a Triple Battle for this gym. Even if it's birds, I might be able to win if I can keep Mobile in the lead.


 


pfbn2E5.png


 


Before I head in, let's check on the team.


 


NLdqUAM.pngfsQ9EEG.pngFyChCn4.png


 


XvEMYXO.png


 


I think I only slightly overleveled, if I remember correctly. I know the leader's ace is going to be Level 14, if memory serves... So that's what I prepped for.


 


Vacheir.pngE2FVjPM.png

The first Battle of Truth begins.

OH IT'S BUGS, THIS IS TRULY THE funking LUCKIEST OF DAYS


 


Mobile can just Whirlpool and Milk Drink for days, we should be preeeeeeetty good.


 


QZm9BfI.png


 


Oh. At least Pineco goes down easy?


 


 


9ivEtUq.png


 


... Seriously? It lives and the first hit of Twinneedle does this? Glad I have a full heal.


 


8RtuDv4.png


 


Next up is a Shelmet... I guess I can cure the poison this turn.


 


awsKQ2v.png68psLuB.png


 


U-Turn is fine. Level 14 Joltik is actually a bit spoopy, consdering my "summon a giant turtle and sit on it" strategy. Let's try shifting.


 


UJeD02n.png


 


This did nothing.


 


wXs2wmV.png


 


Ogre, however, helped. She got Spider Webbed, but the miracle of Heart Stamp flinching saved the day. Goodbye zappy bug.


 


AnvpXQF.pngii8hjbA.png


FnkCkaJ.pngxJR3ws2.png


UdgVedd.pngNxh4ZmA.png


 


Well, it was a piece of cake at this point. I feel like I would have been much worse off with basically any type other than bugs, so I feel like I got an easy roll here.


 


Venonat went down without a problem, and Mobile leveled up, attempting to learn 2 more moves.


 


k1BVXba.pngbVQf3VD.png


 


Both of which were big, fat nos.


 


n2Px2Jk.png


 


Same tbh.

BIG MOOD


 


0NHclP7.png


 


Oooooh TM time, what will it be?


 


dd8d7uE.png


 


Oh my.


 


Literally everyone with me can learn it, and you can bet I taught it to Mobile, over Aqua Jet.


 


c8QT12F.png


 


For now, that's the end of the first arc of this Randomlocke. Thus far, we have lost 1 Pokemon out of the 5 we obtained, and we still miss Donut dearly. To be continued!

YOU GOT A DAMN BLASTOISE!?!?! ....you lucky piece of...I got a Wingull (now a Pelipper by the name of Yui).

 

Also, have you thought of investing in an HM Slave that way you don't have to bog your Pokémon Teams' movelist with the HMs?

Nah, not gonna catch a Pokemon that isn't part of the Locke, and this hack does a decent job of balancing HMs out, for the most part.

 

Now, on to Arc 2!

 


Part 2-1: Sweet Dreams are Made of Mist

With the successful attempt on the Striaton Gym, we find ourselves ready to continue the adventure!

Goodbye, small bu- Bianca, why are you here? Mysterious Pokemon?

 

Well, whatever. I head on inside and hear a cry coming from deeper in, but before I can go look, Bianca has this to add.

... Nope. Not at all, Bianca.

Well that went from 0 to 120. That is a pretty dark plan, Jesus.

 

iuyOvtd.png

 

DO NOT KICK THE BAB STOP NO

 

nvR69KE.pngswGD77f.pngtFjMmgs.png

 

Man, there is so much political commentary to be made here that I choose to make... None of it.

 

These guys are some funking psychos, though.

 

ktlAZtJ.png

 

Welp, time to fight the self-righteous pricks.

 

lUMsKq3.png

 

... You have a super rare Pokemon that has to be revived from a fossil. While preaching freedom for Pokemon from horrible people. Nice.

 

A single cut from Mobile took it down.

 

LL73QV0.pngB32eErO.png

 

Similarly, this Carvanha died to a single U-Turn.

 

It led to Ogre trying to learn Defend Order, which I was tempted to give her so she could be Queen Ogre... But it feels really superfluous, if not bad for her.

 

6Fydbn6.pngHHSXWw8.png

 

And then a Haraa v Sand Storm Goldeen.

 

A critical hit from Cross Poison took it out in record time.

 

ktlAZtJ.png

 

Guess the chick wants in, too.

 

DjzAIBv.png

 

WHAT NO I DON'T DO WELL WITH ELECTRIC RN

 

fKf00TM.png

 

A damaged Mobile had to do his best, and he managed to 2HKO it, but I was more than a little scared.

 

hdmLcrG.pngkcxEkDn.png

 

Then U-Turn almost took out this Blitzle, but it had Sturdy, which I never saw coming.

 

I sent in Haraa to finish it off, who took a small amount of damage from a couple Charge Beams.

 

PjuDl4u.pngMtOPI7N.png

 

And then Joltik pouted some more! I mean, returned.

 

Like Cilan's, it used Spider Web, and it died the turn after using it.

 

y6le3s7.pnge0sG5iL.png

 

After losing, this dumbass took to kicking the poor Munna again.

 

7HyjL1k.png6FAnUiL.png

syNqkDZ.pngUszdlv1.pngerXcT8y.png

 

Suddenly villainman all over???

 

Despite how weird this is, the Grunts fall for it immediately, and they run with their tail between their legs.

 

QbZKV9l.pngCBjAeAc.png

 

We soon gather that this Pokemon that appeared, Musharna, created illusions to protect the baby Munna. Good Musharna.

 

Zd5qHI4.png

 

Hi to you, too, Fennel.

 

jVLBYmf.pngOATPOWK.png

 

Bianca actually summed it up pretty nicely, right, Fennel?

 

MyLIdBn.png

 

You weren't even listening. Great.

 

Fennel scurried off back to her labroomhousewhatever, and Bianca had one last thing to add before we parted ways.

 

0L34wpL.png

 

Very random.

 

She stays behind to find a Munna, seemingly, while I head to see what Fennel needed.

 

BUtzvCK.pngIugWmqS.png

 

The C-Gear from Fennel and the Pal Pad from her roommate! 

 

So useful!

 

But, before we end this episode, I wanna check one more thing...

 

nvNXpcj.png

 

Awww, this is a BalmMushroom in the base game. This kinda sucks.

 

cmCMehT.png

 

But that's all for now! Next time, we tackle Route 3!

Part 2-2: Spirit of Truth


 


Q3vROkM.png


 


Welcome to scenic Route 3! There's a daycare! And a cave! And some water!


 


8hxx37x.pngu00DFQd.png


 


And these bloodthirsty toddlers!


 


1eP8F4W.png


 


Oh, I'm leading Haraa. This is a bit spooky.


 


elEd6MF.png


 


U-Turn made quick work of the gothic lolita. I'm sure Haraa can handle Chingling, right?


 


hAZdZw0.pngAVO1tFS.png


 


ONE LUSTER PURGE LATER


 


Everything worked out, but Haraa was barely alive at this point, so I had to heal. But, I know a secret!


 


yqxrPcH.png


 


This nice (crossdressing) lady heals your Pokemon for free, while the children play! Now, where is she?


 


MHF1f67.png


 


Inside the daycare! What a twist!


 


Onward to our next adventure!


 


qUjW2P2.pngg6Sndam.png


eHxl5ts.png


 


Or Cheren. I guess Cheren works, too.


 


Z6ug7ao.png


 


Oh, he's fighting this time. Well, this won't be too bad, and Beldum should be easy enough.


 


IJJIdl7.png


 


And then two more Riolu, which went down easily to Heart Stamp. On to his starter?

Part 2-3: Peek-A-Boo


 


ziHpOXu.png


 


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhem, I totally wasn't screaming for 2 days. Nope. Not at all.


 


Welcome to Wellspring Cave! Time to get our new friend!


 


AwRe4Mh.png


 


So thiiiiiiis is where that grunt got it. Guess it's not rare in this universe.


 


WN5USIi.png


 


Peek! Peek brought an item with her, and her ability is... I don't know if that even functions when it's removed from a Cherrim. Huh.


 


RAkxk1U.png


 


generally idiots don't listen to reason, cheren


 


MqFGDpS.pngTK02CTS.png


 


IDK man, I'm pretty sure a lot of Pokemon don't even want to be fighting. This argument seems rather incongruent with your group's supposed goal...


 


kjR01Ds.png


 


Ah funk, it's steel. I guess that's only neutral, but I still don't want Peek out there...


 


2Pe13gr.png


 


WHY DOES IT KNOW SHIFT GEAR


 


This guy had 2 Bronzors, a Klink, and a Beldum iirc. The Bronzors and Klink both knew Shift Gear, and the Bronzors also knew Gear Grind. I was spooped.


 


But we survived!


 


fxgdM3s.png


 


That's not how that w-


 


kdEiy1o.png


 


geeeeettttttt dunked on!!!

Um. Peek can't escape. Why can't Peek escape. funk. funk.


 


1iGpHQ4.png


 


PEEK NO, WHY WAS MIENFOO SO funking USELESS ;A;


 


VBBi9at.pngIDOQApA.png3fKuAyJ.png


 


Ogre mostly cleaned up shop... Mobile took care of the last bit, after a U-Turn.


 


Wm9iU2r.pngXhr4FEG.png

Maybe I should have made Ogre the queen...


 


8qaZZ5j.png


 


But at what cost.


 


X18LXFo.png


 


This is nice, but I still feel bad for losing Peek.

Well, that's all for now. We'll continue our journey and try to keep the team together next time.

Part 2-4: Bad Grass-borhood


 


Co7r3Z3.png


 


Welcome back! Last time, we fended off Team Plasma, caused our samurai-named teammate to die to bullshit, and got a fishing rod!


 


All in all, bad day. Time to do my best to keep that from ever happening again! Let's start with punching this kid.


 


1HJHrS9.pngBsPBJ5M.pngQsyIuDq.png


 


He went down easy with switch training, but boy if that Tranquill didn't try to funk that plan up.


 


God, I hate Tranquill.


 


QlFYfid.png


 


Why, Cheren?


 


gfeMzoR.pngmpNzqdz.pngy9A8HpJ.png


 


Cheren, are you... being racist to the grass right now? Not cool, dude. Not cool.


 


So, let's ignore him and wander into the grass!


 


HZ8EIYy.png


 


Hey, this isn't too bad. It's kinda neat, really, though I might wake up covered in ink...


 


That said, the next encounter, which I forgot to take a picture for... Was a Sealeo and a Jigglypuff. That's, uh. That's pretty swole for this point in the game.


 


On to the next trainer!


 


UYjmi9c.png


 


Time for more switch training. Guess Ogre gets to U-Turn.


 


GgOPyyv.png


 


Gotta go fast!


 


I chose not to take it, though. Truth doesn't need to ram into things.


 


O7IIuYD.png


 


Truth tried to kill it, and almost did... But after a flinch from Heart Stamp, he had to swap out. Luster Purge followed that, so I'm glad I did.


 


kiMkjlP.pngB3VFOEv.pngC U P C A K E


 


It basically just stalled, and led to another move my pokemon will not be learning.


 


dESEada.png9OVB0DX.png


 


Was time for more switchtraining, but the funker used Stealth Rock.


 


 


With the first Pokemon down, she sent out her second.


 


etO87iw.png


 


... um, okay.


 


6NfmF17.png


 


Little girl, what the hell?


 


rMeA5bG.png


 


WHY DO YOU HAVE 4 ROGGENROLAS WTF


 


fsP28b5.png


 


With the Roggenrolas out of the way, we move on to the last trainer of the route... A kid with ghosts.


 


lwk3WUe.png


 


Duskull dead. Gimme my level up.


 


JGaLRUV.png


 


...................


 


I love you, Heart Stamp, but it was on this day that Ogre became a goddess.


 


Time for Ogre to tear pokemon to shreds.


 


 


So, what Pokemon is next?


 


cQTPY96.png


 


Excuse me?


 


3SN1yz9.png


 


Luckily, I have Mobile, who killed it easy. As well as 2 Frillish.


 


With him down, all that's left to do is collect our items...


 


pt6oUJU.pngGTm9p1C.pngF5mdhPj.png


 


Not the worst haul... Though getting those 2 herbs on the same route is kinda incredible.


 


bsmlxxs.png


 


Shortly after that, we made it to Nacrene! Next time, we explore the town, as well as the nearby route!


 


Byeonara!

Huh. That'll be helpful if I get a Pokemon that needs these...

Well, welcome back! Sorry I couldn't welcome you sooner, I had a Cheren bothering me. Again.


 


USs3HFI.pngiakFEzx.pngT


 


oday, we're going to explpore Nacrene, plus go to Pinwheel Forest!


 


1TvFiiU.png


 


I don't see Caterpie here. I guess this is technically correct...


 


R031HUh.png


 


Oh, cool! That's the one that's probably most useful right now. Plus, I already have a Miracle Seed.


 


mXflS2f.png


 


Why would I do this thing?


 


Alright, Nacrene's a bit empty... To the forest!


 


e6rEosr.png


 


We're at the outskirts right now, with its own ecosystem, but we'll be heading to the deep forest first!


 


u1xAtoy.png


 


Oh. These pricks again. Guess I have to come back later.


 


luYPYGP.png


 


And this nice nurse is waiting right outside! If I beat her up, she'll heal my Pokemon whenever I want. Pretty sweet deal.


 


qL9mkP8.pngJLVaAFf.png


 


2 U-Turns later.


 


2NaonyC.png


 


Sweet! Now, before we gather the items in the area, what's our encounter?


 


ks8g6UT.png


 


WHOO


 


That's not quite as hype as Litwick, but I still love this line. Good encounter!


 


f7rmc9X.png


 


Damn. What is with all these -Sp Atk special attackers? 


 


I'll still use it, at least for now, but it's rather RIP worthy.


 


Welp, time to pick up stuff off the ground again.


 


e3p7NrJ.png


 


Heh. Fitting.


 


DCguweG.png0AGrPVH.pngLmVWT3m.png


 


Not terrible. Headbutt is plain, but it's still a good enough move for this point in the game.


 


gEsAAds.png


 


Further down, I found this rock. If I had a fighting type, it would give me things to sell for money. I do not. Rip.


 


T7ZbVmP.png


 


Not sure if the curse of the Quick Claw is still active...


 


Now, I know there's one last thing we need to do.


 


3NUzCnJ.png


 


Oh sweet! This is normally Rock Smash, but I'll take a 70 power fire move! That'll be good for a while yet.


 


4tLzVf6.png


 


Alright, I am gonna do some grinding before I continue on, so I'll see you guys back in Nacrene.


 


Peach!

I spent a good while grinding, maybe a bit too much... Let's see the results!


 


xl0bCiq.pnggSVqjfK.pngWO9eDXf.png


EptFdNh.pngHP8LdhL.pngJuwAojB.png


 


Yep, Ceres and Mikky both evolved, and both Haraa and Truth are... a bit lacking, still. And I'm still worried I may have overleveled.


 


ZdvQMiW.png


 


But that's enough of that. On to the muse- oh no.


 


u7R9A17.pngGwsaeey.pngxgcBpGf.pngDmr9j3y.png


 


He's talking so fast that I'm just gonna smile and nod along.

Wait, that doesn't seem to have pleased him.


 


6PA1ywj.png


 


Welp, hope you don't take the life of another of my companions.


 


XZeyt0Q.png


 


Ayyyy, more bugs! I can handle this.


 


HC0BkTp.png


 


Or Shelmet could get a crit Flame Wheel on Ceres. That works, too, I guess.


 


She's alive, though, and that's all that counts.


 


bX33ju9.png


 


Time to rearrange.


 


a3zMPCr.png


 


This is... actually going well now. I did overlevel, but can't say I'm too mad...


 


sLguJl4.png


 


Yes, crazy, seeing the future isn't possible. Not even with DETERMINATION.


 


lb2j5w0.pngnCooDdG.png


 


Um, maybe take a chill pill, man? You're getting a bit... scary.

Part 2-7: Arsenic-Laced Books


g2LNPim.png


Welcome back to the Nacrene Museum! We're just outside of the gym which is, for some reason, behind a museum... So let's see what we're in for


pYD0Vmf.png


Thank you for the present, Clyde.


Cm3ezHj.png


Now, last time, the gym's leader had a different type from the trainers... I think this was because of the nature of the first leader, which has either Grass, Fire, or Water, while the two trainers use Normal. As such, I think the type of this gym will tell me what Lenora uses.


Let's go!


ldl18La.png


So, we're either a Grass or Poison Gym. I wonder which it will be...


AhBiu5R.png


Well, there's my answer. Poison Gym!


I think that could be worse, so I'll take it happily.


XVYTZM1.png69zbfyS.png


The kid also had these two, and... I must say, I did not expect Stunky. Don't know why, just kinda forgot it existed.


Now, I need to go find the first book, which is apparently a kids book, for this gym's puzzle...


EdI64qE.png


Ah, here we go!


The hint this book gave me directs me to reading a book about the first pokemon I saw in this gym. I don't think that's Weepinbell, for the puzzle, though...


1B98114.png


Patrat seems likely, given this was normally a Normal Gym.


And it's correct! Now it wants me to find a book that talks about something associated with fire that blows smoke from its head...


KlWVGHa.pngiTwPPe2.png


I... don't think Tepig has much to do with smoke. And out of its head? Next.


emhUP07.png


Yes, this one.


dpE5qSh.png


What a twiiiiiiiiist.


V7CHRYJ.png


Oh hey, girl to go with the boy's Nidoran. Neat.


cl2SQPn.png


Now, my candle ghost can handle this, right?


bByOqhy.png


... did... did you just Fire Punch a Litwick? The hell?


uW72BTA.pngRcgCHS7.pngfGfAK8R.png


Welcome to the Coil spamming Skuntank. It wasn't actually difficult, but boy was I scared it would just one-shot one (or all) of my guys.


pG9czhI.png


Finally, a Bellsproot. Easy battle.


eAk6SxW.png


Finally!


This book then directs me to a book lower down...


Eknxxfr.png


Oh hey, Poffin nod!


This next hint tells me to go left one, up two, right one, then down one... but I think I know who it leads to.


BpWogyn.png


We meet again, little girl. It is time to fight me!


TD0aq7Y.pngWCyY6QZ.pngINabrn4.png


Ogre kicked all of their asses with a single shot each.


UxMDlMd.png


And her reward was... a move she won't be learning. Acrobatics is just better, considering Pure Power.


0U3ll8n.png


This Tentacool is no exception.


MbeiPbX.png


Hey, there's a switch under this book! Let's press it!


2Reqg7f.png6qhBUfe.pngRo2kvIu.png


Huh. What a weird thing to have in a library... Which is a gym... Inside of a museum... Yeah, just weird overall.

So, I forgot to say... this is, sadly, dead.

 

Not by choice, but my laptop crapped out and I had to get a new computer, which doesn't have these files. It's unfortunate, but that's life.

 

I'll probably move on to doing a Black 2 locke, because I really don't feel like restarting this one.
