Lord Chespin

Update #33: The Doctor is In (Trouble) Well, believe it or not, I actually managed to beat Dr. Sigmund on my first try! I led with Elsa, and he led with his Mega Ampharos. Although Elsa missed a lovely kiss, she was able to survive a dragon pulse and land a lovely kiss the next turn. She then set up a nasty plot and took it down with a single blizzard! Up next came Sigmund's Eelektross, so I kept Elsa on the field and had her use blizzard again. She did a respectable amount of damage, but only left it in the red, allowing it to KO her with a crunch. I sent out Ron next, and while Sigmund healed it with an ultra potion he did chip damage with a psychic. He then set up dual screens, but ultimately fell to two discharges. I then sent out Dhalsim, who managed to outspeed and KO it with a high jump kick! Sigmund sent out his Rotom next, but Harry was able to outspeed and OHKO it with a single flamethrower. Sigmund then sent out his toughest Pokemon for me to deal with: his Luxray. I sent out Ebony to deal with it, but Luxray got smart and used protect, allowing it to safely activate its flame orb. It then took off a sizeable chunk of her health with a facade, and all she did was set up a calm mind. I tried healing her with a berry ice cream, but Luxray just used facade again, so I swapped out to Starman. Starman did serious damage with an earth power, but fainted to two facades; amazingly, though, the burn damage finally caught up to Luxray, causing it to faint! Sigmund sent out his ace, Electrivire, but it went down to a single high jump kick from Dhalsim after only getting off one ice punch. All that remained was Sigmund's Lanturn, so I sent out Harry. He quickly healed Ebony with a berry ice cream, then fired off a will-o-wisp and a psychic before fainting to a signal beam and two scalds. Ebony came out, and tanked a signal beam to end the fight with a moonblast! With Sigmund down, Saphira comes in and wrecks his butt, only to get captured by Sirius. Time to rescue her... or, well, watch her rescue herself. The team so far:

Update #32: Mirror Image Well, Serra took a couple tries, but she wasn't nearly as hard as some of the other battles I've had to go through so far. On TEH URN, I led with Harry, and she led with Mega Abomasnow. The poor thing never stood a chance, as it went down to a single flamethrower. Up next came Serra's Mamoswine, so I swapped out to Shepherd, now a mighty Starmie! Despite the evasion boosts Mamoswine had accumulated, Sheperd was still able to land a hydro pump and pull off a OHKO! Serra sent out her Glaceon next, and I sent out Harry again. Harry took a surprising amount of damage from a shadow ball, but retaliated with a mighty flamethrower, burning the Glaceon and causing it to faint from burn damage! Serra decided to then send out Cloyster, so I sent out Dhalsim. Dhalsim barely tanked a waterfall with 11 HP, but was able to knock Cloyster down to 1 HP with a high jump kick (he would have KO'd it, but it had a focus sash), forcing Serra to use an ultra potion; Dhalsim was still able to take it out with a second high jump kick, though! Serra sent out her Vanilluxe next, but it went down to a single flamethrower from Harry before it could even attack! All that remained was Serra's ace and toughest Pokemon for me: her Froslass. Harry fell almost instantly to a shadow ball, but he at least managed to make Frosslass use up its evasion boosts when it came into focus. Dhalsim came back out, and managed to do some damage with a bullet punch before fainting to a shadow ball. Kid then came out and set up a light screen, but fell to two shadow balls. Fortunately, Elsa (who came out next) tanked a shadow ball, put Froslass to sleep, and set up a nasty plot while it slept! Froslass woke up and tried setting up a double team, but it was too little, too late, as Elsa took it out with a psychic! With Serra down, it's time to get that medicine for Anna! The team so far:

Hey, remember when I said I made a page for Pokemon Rejuvenation on TVTropes? Well, now I made a page for Fridge Logic, Fridge Brilliance, and Fridge Horror! In case you didn't know, Fridge Logic is something that doesn't make sense when you stop to think about it (the "Fridge" in the name comes from the fact that you don't realize it doesn't make sense until you're looking in the Fridge for something to eat after the movie, or game, or whatever). Fridge Brilliance and Fridge Horror are similar, but with Fridge Brilliance you realize that it actually makes more sense, and with Fridge Horror you realize something disturbing. You cane find the link to the page here, so go on, open up that fridge!

Also, if you steal a fossil, the museum jacks up the admission price to compensate for the loss. Just thought you should know.

Hey! I was getting a little burned out with Rejuvenation, so I decided to pick this up again. Sorry to keep you waiting! Anyway... Update #31: A Bug's Life Well, Bennett was a little tricky, but nowhere near as hard as Shelly. On TEH URN, I led with Ron, and he led with his Larvesta. Ron set up dual screens while tanking a bug bite and a zen headbutt, then did crazy damage with a critical-hit psychic while tanking a flame charge. Unfortunately, Larvesta got healed by two berry ice creams, and although Ron was able to do some damage with a psychic, he still failed to prevent Bennett from restoring it to full health. He tanked a bug bite and fired off a psychic, but then fainted to a second bug bite after setting up a misty terrain. I sent out our newest team member, Ebony the SHINY Gardevoir, and she tanked a zen headbutt to do significantly more damage with a psychic. Larvesta tried healing with a morning sun, and even fought back with three zen headbutts, but Ebony was able to set up a calm mind and KO it with a mighty psychic! With his ace down, Bennett sent out his Heracross, but it missed a megahorn and fell to a single moonblast. Up next came Bennett's Scyther, so I swapped out to Harry, who KO'd it with a flamethrower after tanking a bug bite! Up next came Bennett's Vivillon, and I kept Harry on the field. He missed a flamethrower and almost fainted to a hurricane, but was able to reflect his flamethrower off the mirrors, hitting Vivillon and KOing it! Bennett's Butterfree fell in a very similar way: Elsa came out and reflected a blizzard off the mirrors, ending it! All that remained was Bennett's Venomoth, so I swapped out to Hermonie, who set up a calm mind, tanked two bug buzzes, and ended the fight with a psychic and an air slash! With Bennett defeated, it's time to fight his mom, Serra! The team so far:

It's not capturable; instead, it helps you steal the Jaw/Sail fossil from the museum.

Um, I beat Elliot on the Saturday before the League temporarily closed down, but I don't see his badge on my card. Did it get lost in the shuffle?

Well, Nim did have a protective coating of stone around her, meaning Crescent could have teleported her out before she melted. Jenner wasn't so lucky. As for why the protagonist survived... well, probably because Crescent was able to break reality or something, and didn't want the protagonist to die until she was done using them.

Update #30: GO IN THE FREAKING BALL! Well, I think the hardest part of the Zetta battle was catching the shadow Jumpluff. On TEH URN, he led with Absol, and I led with Tom Thumb. The poor Absol only got off a single night slash before it fainted to a fake out, a double hit, and a covet. Up next came Zetta's Weavile, and I swapped out to RR Hood. She tanked two night slashes with just 3 HP left, then took it out with two flamethrowers. She fell to a mega drain from Zetta's Roserade the next turn, but was still able to do some damage to it with a flamethrower before she fell. I sent out Maleficent next, and she tanked a mega drain to end it with a brave bird! Zetta's Vileplume, meanwhile, fell to a single brave bird. I then spent the next two minutes trying to catch the shadow Jumpluff; I had to go through Maleficent, Tom Thumb, and Karen to get it, but it finally gave up and went in the ball. After that, Zetta made a lava pit and forced us to go around it, so I guess we'll have to get back to saving Nim later... in the meantime, I guess we better save the boat from the Dexoy! The team so far:

Update #29: Little Rift Of Horrors Well, the Dimensional Rift Carnivine was a pain in the rear. Seriously, it was a lot harder than I expected! On TEH URN, I led with Maleficent, and she did some damage to it with a brave bird before falling to a power whip. RR Hood came out next, but fell to a power whip before she could do anything. I sent out Tom Thumb next, and after he got off a fake out, he managed to miraculously dodge a power whip, letting him weaken Carnivine with a tickle before fainting to another power whip! Up next came Lumberjack, who did some damage to it with a critical-hit jump kick before fainting to two cuts, and Big Bad Wolf, who fainted to a power whip before she could attack. Up next came Karen, who preformed another miracle and dodged a power whip to confuse Carnivine with a teeter dance, then KO'd it with two psybeams while it injured itself in confusion! With that done with, it's time to confront Zetta at the base of Valor Mountain! The team so far:

Update #28: Aquatic Ambiance Well, Valerie was tricky, but nowhere near as tough as she would have been were I playing Version 7. I led with Aurora, and Valerie led with Politoed. The Politoed missed a tidal wave, and Aurora did massive damage damage to it with a thunderbolt! Valerie then wasted all of her hyper potions healing it, allowing Aurora to take it out! Up next came Valerie's Lanturn, and I sent out Lumberjack. Lumberjack dented Lanturn with a horn leech (he would have done more damage, but Lanturn was holding a Rindo Berry) and tanked an ice beam. Valerie then swapped out to her Slowbro for some reason, allowing Lumbarjack to sap away a large chunk of health with two horn leeches, tank a psychic, and end it with a third horn leech! Valerie's Lanturn came back out, and although Lumberjack did massive damage to it with a horn leech, it still took him out with an ice beam. Fortunately, Tom Thumb was able to swoop in and KO it with a fake out and a double hit! Up next came Valerie's Lapras, so I sent out Maleficent, who did insane damage to it with a close combat while dodging a thunder, then took it down with another close combat! Valerie decided to send out her Rotom-W, and I sent Tom Thumb back out. He did some damage with a fake out, but fell to a hydro pump. I sent Aurora back out, but she took crazy damage from a hydro pump as well after only setting up a charge, so I swapped out to Karen. Xe tanked two more hydro pumps and did some damage with two psybeams, then got healed by a moomoo milk while Valerie swapped out to her Milotic. Milotic did knocked off a good chunk of Karen's health with a scald, but Karen was able to confuse it with a teeter dance, then got healed with a moomoo milk while Milotic hurt itself. Sadly, she got burned by a scald, and was only able to knock Milotic down to about half health before fainting to a scald and burn injuries. I sent out Aurora again, and she managed to not only outspeed Milotic but also to take it down with a thunderbolt! All that remained was the weakened Rotom-W, so I sent out Big Bad Wolf, who tanked a volt switch and took it down with a mighty boomburst! With the HM for surf activated, it's time to head on out to Terajuma Jungle! The team so far:

I think you can rarely find Tyrouge in Amethyst Grotto. I could be wrong, though.

Maybe Jenner was an artificial human, like Nancy? That's the only reason I have for us not getting his soul...

Update #27: Shiny Showdown 2: The Electric Shine-aloo Well, ironically, Meila wasn't as hard as Emma, who was actually trying to lose. I led with one of our new team members, Maleficent the Staraptor, and Melia led with Diligence the Zoroark. Maleficent tanked a flamethrower and did insane damage with a close combat, but then Melia swapped out to Faith, her Yanmega. After Maleficent got off a close combat on Faith, I swapped her out for Aurora, who was now a fully-evolved Heliolisk! Unfortunately, she flinched to an air slash and got rocked by an ancientpower, which allowed Faith to get a boost to all of its stats, but she was able to land a thunder wave and land a thunderbolt before fainting to a bug buzz. I sent out Maleficent again, and Faith got immobilized by paralysis, allowing her to KO Faith with a brave bird! Up next came Melia's Pupitar, Diligence, but Lumberjack OHKO'd it with a horn leech. Melia decided to stop messing around and sent out her ace: Happiness the Togekiss. I swapped out to Karen in suit, and after tanking an air slash and confusing it with a teeter dance, xe began spamming psybeam. Happiness, meanwhile, injured itself in confusion twice, but then got off an air slash and a flamethrower; it was too little, too late, though, as Karen took Happiness out with a few more psybeams! Fortitude the Zoroark came back out, and I sent out Big Bad Wolf, who tanked a flamethrower and took it out with a mighty boomburst! All that Melia had left was her Gardevoir, Hope. I kept Big Bad Wolf on the field, and she tanked a moonblast and did some damage with a boomburst, only to faint to a second moonblast. Luckily, Tom Thumb was able to swoop in and take out Hope with a fake out and a double hit! With our strength proved to Melia, it's time to challenge Valerie! The team so far:

I'm calling it: during his talk with Crescent, Ren was instructed by her to join Team Xen (who's working to make the Prophecy of Light come true) and infiltrate it, then destroy it from the inside, seeing as how it's pretty clear that he's one of the shadows. Also, I think that Crescent is not only working to make sure the Prophecy of Darkness comes true, but that Nim, of all people, is one of the shadows, hence why Crescent brainwashed her: she wouldn't turn on her friends otherwise. Supporting this is the fact that in the game's graphics (as I mentioned here) that you can find sprites of Nim (or, more specifically, her brainwashed persona, Lorna) in what appears to be Team Xen garb.

Updated! Sorry it took me so long; I got distracted.

Update #26: You Win Some, You Lose Some Well, Neved wasn't all that bad. I led with Big Bad Wolf, Alieta led with Scraggy, and Neved led with Aurorus and Weavile. Weavile did chip damage to Scraggy with a night slash, and Big Bad Wolf flinched to a rock slide, but Scraggy was able to OHKO the Aurorus with a brick break! Up next came Neved's Frosslass, and it injured Scraggy with an ice beam while Neved's Weavile did serious damage to Big Bad Wolf with a night slash; however, Scraggy was able to KO Weavile with a brick break, and Big Bad Wolf was able to do some damage to Frosslass with a crunch. Up next came Neved's Gastrodon, and while it took out Scraggy with an earthquake, Frosslass took out Big Bad Wolf with an ice beam. I sent out Lumberjack to deal with it, and Alieta sent out Gallade. Gallade tanked an ice beam but missed a psycho cut, and Lumberjack managed to take down Gastrodon with a mighty horn leech! Up next came Neved's Barbaracle, and while Neved healed his Frosslass with a hyper potion, Lumberjack seriously dented Barbaracle with a horn leech before taking serious damage with an x-scissor; Gallade, meanwhile, took out Frosslass with a mighty psycho cutter. Poor Lumber jack fell to an ice beam from Frosslass the next turn, but Gallade was able to end Barbarcle with a night slash! I sent out Karen, and while Gallade tanked one last ice beam, Gallade and Karen teamed together to take it down with a psybeam/psycho cutter combo! When I fought Madame X, however, I completely failed. I couldn't get past her Yveltal, as it just completely outsped and destroyed every Pokemon I sent out. The best I did was chip damage from a fake out by Tom Thumb, but Yveltal just took him out with an oblivion wing, healing off the damage. Oh well. Anyway, Mom's dead, Melia's not, moving on. The team so far:

Update #25: Shiny Showdown Well, Emma took a couple tries to get past her Zoroark, but I beat her in the end. On TEH URN, I led with Tom Thumb, and she led with her Zoroark. Tom Thumb did some damage with a fake out and a double hit, then managed to survive a dark pulse with 27 HP remaining and take it down with a covet and a double hit, making Emma use up her first hyper potion! Emma sent out her Gardevoir next, and I sent out Big Bad Wolf, who tanked a moonblast... only to do pitiful damage with a crunch. She then fainted from a second moonblast, so I sent out Karen. Karen did much better, tanking a psychic, confusing the Gardevoir with a teeter dance, and then chiseling away at it with echoed voice while it injured itself twice. Emma managed to heal it with a hyper potion and it did some more damage with a moonblast, but Karen managed to survive it and take it out with an echoed voice. All that remained was Emma's Pupitar, but the poor little thing went down fast to a horn leech from one of our newest members, Lumberjack the Sawsbuck! With Emma down, it's time to stop Neved and confront Madame X! ... who will probably kick our butts... The team so far:

Update #24: The Lion Queen Well, I think RR Hood just proved herself the most useful member of my team during the proper Madelis battle. I led with her, and Madelis led with her Houndoom. RR Hood took heavy damage from a dark pulse and a thunder fang, but she took it out with three echoed voices. From there on out, she pretty much outsped and annihilated every single Pokemon that Madelis threw at me- her Sharpedo, Shiftry, Skuntank, and Zweilous all fell to a single echoed voice! With her down, it's time to head out to confront Neved! The team so far:

Aw, crud, I'm sorry I spoiled that for you. I'll try to be more careful in the future.

Well, I was looking through the graphics for V7 of Pokemon Rejuvenation, and,well, I found something... odd. Now, keep in mind, while I was looking through the graphics in V7 I found early graphics for the Dimensional Rift Garbodor. My guess is that, possibly as a way to relieve the stress of working on the game, Jan/Zumi took some time to draw sprites for future events. So, as I was poking through the graphics for V7, I found... this: It appears to be Nim, in her "Lorna" persona, in what looks like Team Xen garb. Now, this might sound crazy, but when Ren talked with Crescent, he ended up joining Team Xen shortly afterwards. What if Crescent brainwashed Nim into joining Team Xen? Now, what I think (or, more accurately, what I fear) Jan is going to do is turn Nim into a villain, and, in doing so, slowly corrupt her and take away all the lovable qualities that made so many of us like her. I know there's an old saying in writing that says "kill your darlings", but this might be a little too much for me to bear. I really, really like Nim, and I don't want to see her slowly getting corrupted into evil. I guess that as long as she's alive, there's a chance she could break out of Crescent's brainwashing, but... Well, this is just conjecture, I guess. Sorry if you don't want me poking around in the files, Jan; if you want me to delete this post, I'll ask somebody to do so.

So, I've been doing a monotype run of Pokemon Rejuvenation, and I only allowed myself to use normal-type Pokemon. So I get the mystery egg... and it's a Cottonee. I was wondering if somebody who was a Starly in their save file could edit our save files so that they get my Cottonee and I get their Starly. I would really appreciate it!

Jan/Zumi, you sons of b****es.

Update #23: Mission Nim-possible: Ghost-type Protocol Well, Nim was fairly easy. I led with Tomb Thumb and Karen, and Nim led with Lunatone and Solrock. Tom Thumb made Solrock flinch with a fake out, and Karen confused Lunatone with a psybeam, causiong it to hurt itself. Tom Thumb then did some serious damage to Lunatone with a double hit, and Karen managed to confuse Solrock with a psybeam; Lunatone promptly hurt itself again, and Solrock did chip damage to Karen with a psychic. Lunatone then fainted to a double hit, and Karen did crazy damage to Lunatone with a psybeam before it took itself out in confusion! Up next came Nim's Malamar and Duosion, and while Tom Thumb took massive damage from a psycho cut and Karen took minor damage from an energy ball, Tom Thumb dented Malamar with a double hit while Karen dented Duosion with a psybeam. Tom Thumb continued to do damage to Malamar with a double hit, but fainted to a psycho cut that same turn; Karen, meanwhile, tanked another energy ball and did some more damage to Duosion with a psybeam. I sent out RR Hood next, and she took out Malamar with a psybeam while tanking an energy ball, allowing Karen to continue hitting Duosion with a psybeam. Nim sent out her Meowstic, and while RR Hood injured it with a flamethrower while tanking a thunderbolt, Karen was able to KO Duosion with a psybeam! All that remained was Meowstic, and while RR Hood injured it with a flamethrower, it took RR Hood out with a psychic; luckily, it was left so weak that karen was able to end it with a psybeam, ending the fight! With that done, it's time to head to Akuwa Town! The team so far:

Update #22: Battle of the Ages Wow. Narcissa was brutal, but I managed to somehow eke out a win on my second attempt! Seriously, it took me almost nine minutes, but I beat her! I'm lucky the AI bugged and didn't realize the field made ghost-type moves super effective against normal-types; otherwise, I would've been screwed. On TEH URN TO END ALL URNS, I led with Peter, and Narcissa led with Drifblim. Drifblim set up a tailwind while Peter dented it with a drill peck, but then he got put to sleep with a hypnosis. I quickly woke him up with a lava cookie, and after Drifblim whiffed a dream eater Narcissa swapped out to Rotom, which got hit by a drill peck on the switch. I swapped out to Big Bad Wolf, and she tanked two thunderbolts to get off a mighty boomburst, forcing Narcissa to heal Rotom with a hyper potion. I then healed Big Bad Wolf with a moomoo milk while she healed it with a hyper potion. Rotom quickly fired off a confuse ray, but Big Bad Wolf was able to stay focused and do massive damage with another boomburst! Narcissa tried healing it again, but Big Bad Wolf tanked a thunderbolt and got off another boomburst. I quickly healed Big Bad Wolf with a moomoo milk, and she survived two more thunderbolts with 48 HP to spare and ended the Rotom with one last boomburst! Narcissa decided to send out her Chandelure, and I sent out Savage. She managed to dodge a energy ball by digging under it, but had gotten hit with a confuse ray and injured herslef in confusion. I swapped out to Peter again, and while he was able to tank an energy ball and do massive damage with a critical-hit drill peck, he still fell to a flame burst, as did Duckling when I sent her out. I sent out RR Hood, and she healed Big Bad Wolf while tanking a flame burst; I quickly swapped her out for Savage, who took the fall for her from a flame burst and an energy ball. Luckily, Big Bad Wolf was able to survive a flame burst and end the Chandelure with a mighty boomburst! Drifblim came back out, and I kept Big Bad Wolf out. She did insane damage with a boomburst while Drifblim set up a tailwind, then managed to take out Narcissa's Spiritomb with two boombursts when she swapped Drifblim out for it! Sadly, she was now out of PP for boomburst, forcing me to swap out to RR Hood. RR Hood did some impressive damage with a flamethrower, but was put to sleep with a hypnosis. Luckily, I woke her up, and she managed to end the Drifblim with two more flamethrowers! Up next was her Mismagius, so I sent out Karen, who confused it with a teeter dance while it set up a nasty plot. The two then traded psybeams and thunderbolts, with karen being healed by a moomoo milk once; after a few turns, Mismagius went down! All that remained was Narcissa's Gengar. I sent out Big Bad Wolf again, and she healed Karen with a moomoo milk before falling to a sludge wave. Karen was able to tank a critical-hit sludge wave and do massive damage with a psybeam, then tanked another two sludge waves while I healed her before ending the fight with one last psybeam! With that fight finished, we earn our fourth badge, the Reaper Badge... and seriously anger Ren. I think we may have created a supervillain. Crud. The team so far:
