Lord Chespin

Update #44: Just Think Of It Like... A Visit To The Dentist. Well, Luna caught me off guard with her new lead, but after that I think I did pretty well. I led with Muffet, and she led with BoojumSnark the Greninja. Muffet fainted fairly quickly to an extrasensory and an ice beam, but she was able to set up a sticky web before fainting. I sent out Temmie next, and thus began a long, drawn-out war of healing and predicting the unpredictable AI. Temmie tanked a scald thanks to the sunny weather (which lit up the field, by the way), and she burned BoojumSnark with a will-o-wisp. She then tanked an ice beam and got off a hex, doing massive damage. Both Luna and I then took a turn to heal each of our Pokemon- Luna with a hyper potion, and me with a moomoo milk. The next turn, my luck started to wane, as BoojumSnark did a surprising amount of damage with an extrasensory, and then missed a fire blast. I quickly healed her again with a moomoo milk, allowing her to tank an extrasensory and an ice beam and fire off a hex. Luna and I once again healed our Pokemon using the exact same items, and BoojumSnark finally managed to take out Temmie with a dark pulse and a scald. I sent out Chara, and xe tanked an ice beam and fired off a dive, doing enough damage for BoojumSnark to be KO'd from burn damage! With her lead finally down, Luna sent out HumptyDumpty the Spiritomb, and I swapped out to Moldsmal. Moldsmal set up a toxic and three amnesias while HumptyDumpty fired off a dazzling gleam, set up a calm mind, and launched two shadow balls. Moldsmal then decided to go on the offensive and unleashed a sludge bomb... which did pitiful damage. Luckily, he was able to tank a dark pulse and got healed by a moomoo milk while Luna used her last hyper potion. He then lowered HumptyDumpty's special defense with an acid spray and tanked a dark pulse, and followed it up with a sludge bomb... and then the game glitched out. Seriously, an error message popped up, and Spiritomb just refused to move. This let Moldsmal finish the job through toxic damage and one last sludge bomb, making HumptyDumpty take the fall! Up next came Bandersnatch, Luna's Mega Tyranitar, and I sent out Jerry. Jerry unleashed an earthquake, turning the field into a regular old cave, and Bandersnatch just set up a hone claws. Luna then pulled a surprising move and swapped out for her Sableye, March Hare, which got smacked with an earthquake. It then got slammed and welcomed to the Jam with a rock blast, taking it down! Up next came Bandersnatch again, but it went down fast to a rock smash, of all things. Luna then sent out her Mandibuzz, Jubjub Bird, and I swapped out to Ice Cap. JubJub bird did some considerable damage with a brave bird, but this backfired thanks to Ice Cap's weak armor, giving him a speed boost and allowing him to KO it with two ice beams before it could attack again! All that remained was Luna's ace, Cheshire the Umbreon, but Jerry just came back out and collapsed the whole cave with an earthquake, taking out Cheshire in the process! With that, Frisk earns the Eclipse Badge (what about the Breaking Dawn Badge?) and prepares to move on to Agate City to investigate the sleeping spell! The team so far:

Update #43: LOVE, Too, Is An Acronym. Well, Bennett was actually pretty tough, but once I played my cards right he went down rather easily. I led with Moldsmal, and Bennett led with his Volcarona. Moldsmal tanked a fire gem-boosted heat wave to set up a toxic, but then fainted from a second heat wave, prompting me to send out Chara, back out of retirement! Chara tanked a giga drain and unleashed a dive, doing massive damage to the Volcarona and did massive damage in return with a dive, leaving the Volcarona to be KO'd by toxic damage! Up next came Bennett's Heracross. Since Chara got burned by Volcarona's flame body, I swapped xem out for Muffet; sadly, Muffet fainted to a single Megahorn before she could attack. I decided to stop messing around and sent out Temmie next, and Temmie tanked a megahorn to do massive damage with a fire blast, ending the mighty Heracross! Bennett sent out his obligatory Mega, Mega Pinsir, next, and I sent out Jerry. Jerry survived a crazy-powerful close combat, and retaliated with a rock blast, taking out the Pinsir with two hits! Bennett then sent out his Durant, but the poor thing got OHKO'd by Temmie with a fire blast. Running out of options, Bennett sent out his Venomoth over the smoldering remains of his Durant, and I sent out Ice Cap. Ice Cap tanked two sludge bombs and did massive damage with an icy wind and an ice beam, then began spamming ice beam while Bennett started spamming moomoo milks. Eventually, Bennett ran out of moomoo milks, and Venomoth fell to an ice beam, leaving only his pseudo-ace, Vivillon. Fortunately for me, Temmie was able to outspeed it and KO it with a mighty fire blast, ending the fight! With that over with, we can challenge Luna... and Bennett storms off, claiming that he'll make Luna love him. ...I think we created a supervillain. Joy. The team so far:

So, with Jan's permission, I made a page on TVTropes about Pokemon Rejuvenation! It's a work-in-progress, and it still needs a lot of love, but I'll continue to work on it as time goes on. However, I'll need help, and that's where you guys come in. I want those of you with TVTropes accounts (or those who want to help, as getting an account for TVTropes is fairly easy) to help me edit the page, which you can find here. Thanks, and happy editing!

True, true. However, a lot of my best Pokemon are faster than Randomus and (due to getting the short end of the BST stick) not very bulky, so I kind of had to go for a hyper-offensive strategy. Anyway... Update #42: do you think even the worst person can change... ? that everyone can be a good person if they just try? Well, the rematch with Maxwell wasn't all that bad. I led with Kid, and he led with Ninetails. Kid tanked a fire blast and an extrasensory and got off three psychics, but then got burned by a will-o-wisp and fainted to another fire blast. I sent out Alphys next, and after getting confused and injuring herself in confusion, she managed to dodge a fire blast and KO the Ninetails with a psyshock! Up next came Maxwell's Heatmor, so I sent out Jerry. Jerry tanked a fire punch, but got burned, so he only took off about 50% of the Heatmor's health with an earthquake. I quickly healed him with a full heal, allowing him to dodge a sucker punch. Maxwell, for some unfathomable reason, decided to swap out to his Pyroar, but it went down quite fast to a rock blast from Jerry. Maxwell sent out his new ace, Mega Camerupt, and I sent out Dogressa. Dogressa set up a swagger on Camerupt, causing it to injure itself twice, then countered with a crunch and a sucker punch, taking the big lug down! Maxwell then sent out his Charizard, and Dogressa managed to tank a dragon pulse and take it down with a crunch and a sucker punch. Heatmor came back out, but it fell to a mighty crunch! All that remained was Maxwell's old ace, Houndoom. I sent out Parsnik, and she tanked a dark pulse to KO it with a mighty gunk shot, ending the fight! With that little diversion over with, it's time to make our way to the Subseven Sanctum! The team so far:

Yeah, hyper voice in a double battle with a pixilate boost is insane. Seriously, if Gossip Gardevoir decided to spam hyper voice more, I would have been toast. Anyway... Update #41: Don't You Have Anything Better To Do? Well, despite the freaking Mega Rayquaza, Techie Johnathan wasn't too bad. He led with Patrat, and I led with Parsnik. Parsnik set up six coils while Patrat futilely chiseled away at it with bites, tackles, and even a leer. It didn't do any good for it, though, as Parsnik annihilated it with a facade. Up next came the Rayquaza, destroyer of worlds, but amazingly, all it did was set up a single, solitary dragon dance before it went down to a single gunk shot! With that pleasant diversion, it's time to get back to finding Luna! ...Oh yeah, I also fought Maxwell. He was fairly easy, as Dogressa pretty much swept his entire team. On to Seventh Street! The team so far:

Yeah, I actually took the bait on my first attempt. I should have been tipped off that something was wrong once I saw it use dark pulse. Anyway, sorry for the lack of updates; between Christmas and visiting my cousins in Massachusetts, it was hard to get any updates done. But enough about me, let's kill YOU let's get to the juicy stuff! Update #40: do you want to have a bad time? 'cause if you take another step forward... you are REALLY not going to like what comes next. Well, Randomus was pretty tricky (I fought his trick room team, by the way), but I managed to best him through a combination of level grinding, bringing back an old team member, and a little luck. On TEH URN, I led with our old teammate Dogressa (back from before the first gym!) and Muffet, and he led with Exeggutor and Reuniclus. Dogressa seriously injured Reuniclus with a crunch while Muffet KO'd Exeggutor with an x-scissors; unfortunately, Dogressa fainted from a focus blast by Reuniclus. I sent out Jerry next, but the poor guy flinched from a zen headbutt by Randomus' newly sent-out Metagross and promptly fainted to a focus blast from Reuniclus before he could even attack; this wasn't all that bad, though, as Muffet was able to get off a free x-scissor on Reuniclus. I sent out Temmie next, and while Randomus healed Reuniclus with a hyper potion, Muffet kept hacking away with an x-scissor and Temmie smashed Metagross with a fire blast... which actually burned it! This let Temmie tank a hammer arm, and then knock it out with a critical-hit fire blast after Metagross got healed by a hyper potion from Randomus. Muffet kept hammering away at Reuniclus as usual, and Temmie tanked a fire blast. Randomus sent out his Malamar next, but the poor thing fainted from an x-scissor before it could even attack! Temmie, meanwhile, took out the weakened Reuniclus with a hex, leaving only Randomus' Slowking and Gossip Gardevoir. Gossip Gardevoir mega-evolved, and it took Temmie out with a psychic; before that happened, however, Temmie managed to burn it with a fire blast! Slowking, meanwhile, did only minor damage with a scald, and took massive damage in return from an x-scissor. I sent out Ice Cap to replace Temmie, and while Muffet tanked a focus blast and took out Slowking with a leaf blade, Ice Cap slowed down Gossip Gardevoir with an icy wind. Despite this, Gossip Gadevoir still outsped everyone and took out Muffet (as well as severely damaging Ice Cap) with a hyper voice; luckily, Ice Cap lived, and ended Gossip Gardevoir with a mighty ice beam, ending the fight! Unfortunately, Luna gets kidnapped by El and Team Meteor and taken to the Subseven Sanctum; let's go save her! The team so far:

Yeah, Mew is awesome. I purposefully chose xem since the game throws two hopeless boss fights at you before the second gym, so I figured that this way I might actually have a chance at victory. Anyway... Update #11: Generator Wrecks Well, the Dimensional Rift Volcanion wasn't all that bad. I led with Seviper, and it paralyzed the Volcanion with a glare before getting slammed with a water pulse. Sadly, it got confused, causing it to injure itself and then get KO'd by a water pulse. I sent out Lucario next, and he tanked a flame charge and set up a swords dance, then ended the Volcanion with a mighty bone rush! With the generator down and the base in ruins, it's time to fight Keta's soul and finally get our badge! The team so far:

(Gasp) ZUMI-SENPAI NOTICED ME! (cough) Um, yeah, thanks, guys! I can't clain credit for the idea, though; I got it from Hiroki Tatsumi, who did a similar thing in Pokemon Reborn with a Miltank instead of a Mew. Thanks for the encouragement, though! Anyway... Update #10: Drunk on the Dark Side Well, the Shadow Mewtwo could have gone a lot worse! I led with our newest recruit, Lucario, and he used detect in an effort to get Mewtwo to enter hyper mode. It didn't, so I swapped him out for Seviper, who took the bullet for him and fainted to a shadow bolt. I sent out Mew next, and xe just barely tanked a shadow bolt to reflect xyr type to match the Mewtwo's. This let xem tank another shadow bolt while I healed xem with a soda pop. Mew then tanked another shadow bolt and did some damage with a psychic, then got healed by a soda pop while tanking another shadow bolt. Mewtwo fired off three shadow chills, but Mew survived with 11 HP and proved that it was the superior copy by taking it out with three psychics! With that over with, and Keta sacrificing himself to hold off what's left of Mewtwo's power, it's time to take out the Generator! The team so far:

Update #9: My Body Is Ready Well, Keta wasn't all that bad, although that might be because Mew finally got a STAB attack. Anyway, I led with Seviper, and he led with Hawlucha. Seviper tanked a brick break and paralyzed Hawlucha with a glare... and then glared at it again because I have clumsy fingers. Luckily, the Hawlucha got immobilized by paralysis twice, so not only was I not punished for my mistake, but Seviper was able to KO Hawlucha with three Venoshocks, making Keta use up his first super potion in the process! Up next came Keta's Hariyama, and I had Seviper paralyze it... only to get smacked with a facade, taking Seviper out. Unfortunately for Keta, Mew came out, and promptly trounced pretty much all of his Pokemon with one or two psychics! His Lucario gave me a bit of trouble, since Mew got overleveled a little, but xe managed to finally end within three turns. After that, Keta's Medicham managed to knock Mew down to 19 HP with two thunder punches, but Mew lived and ended it! With that over with, we get the Diamond Punch badge... or not, since Keta runs off into Carotos Mountain. Well, at least we get a new recruit: Shiny Lucario! Time to grind him up to speed, and then follow Keta! The team so far:

Update #8: Insecticide Well, Zetta was pretty easy, actually. I led with Seviper, Venam led with Whirlipede, and Zetta led with Croagunk and Sneasel. Sneasel injured Seviper with an ice shard, but Seviper lived and worked together with Whirlipede to take it down with a venoshock and a bug bite (Croagunk used revenge on Whirlipede, but it didn't do much)! Up next came Zetta's Absol. Seviper did serious damage to it with a venoshock and tanked a feint attack and a mud bomb while Whirlipede finished it off with a mighty bug bite! Up next came Zetta's Quilladin, and while Seviper missed a Venoshock and fainted to a feint attack, Whirlipede was still able to do massive damage to Quilladin while it set up a growth. I sent out Mew, and xe did massive damage with a mega punch to Croagunk and tanked a feint attack while Whirlipede tanked a mega drain and did some serious damage with a venoshock. From there, Mew was able to KO Croagunk with a mega punch, and after Quilladin set up a growth Whirlipede managed to take it down with a mighty venoshock! The Dimensional Rift Galvantula, however, was a lot harder. I led with Seviper, Venam led with Whirlipede, and The Dimensional Rift sent out two Joltik. Seviper took out the stronger of the two Joltik with a Venoshock, Whirlpede hit the weaker Joltik with a Venam's kiss, and the weaker Joltik hit everyone with an electroweb. Another Joltik came out, and while it hit Seviper with a bug bite and the weaker Joltik hit everybody with an electroweb, Seviper seriously injured the new Joltik with a venoshock and Whirlipede took out the weaker Joltik with a venoshock of its own. A newer Joltik came out and attacked everyone with an electroweb while the other Joltik hit Seviper with a bug bite again, but Seviper was able to take out the other Joltik with a venoshock while Whirlipede injured Joltik with a bug bite. Then, the main event came out: The Dimensional Rift Galvantula. It whiffed a sucker punch (how threatening), but Seviper fainted anyway to an electroweb from the Joltik; luckily, Whirlipede was able to pick up the slack and attacked the Joltik with a Venoshock. I sent out Mew, and xe used reflect type on the Galvantula, allowing xem to tank an electroweb from the Gavantula and a slash from the Joltik while Whirlipede took out Galvatula with a Venam's kiss. The Galvantula and Mew then both completely missed their attacks, but Whirlipede was able to pick up the slack with a venoshock; the next turn, Mew tanked an electroweb (that Whirlipede managed to dodge) and confused Galvantula with a metronome-turned-supersonic, and Whirlipede injured Galvantula with a Venam's kiss. The Galvantula then injured itself twice while Mew fired off two metronomes, which turned into a horn attack and a vacuum wave, and Whirlipede unleashed two Venam's kisses. This onslaught managed to end the Galvantula, allowing me to continue on to Sheridan Village! The team so far:

Yeah, I am. I just got distracted with my other run. As for your other post, I actually got somebody else to hack in all the Pokemon for me. If you want somebody to hack in a Pokemon for you, just ask around; I'm sure somebody would love to help! Anyway... Update #7: Mission: Nim-Possible Well, Nim was a right pain in the arse. I led with our new recruit, Seviper, and Mew, while Nim led with Solrock and Lunatone. I had Seviper paralyze Solrock and Mew transform into Solrock while Lunatone wailed on Seviper with an ancientpower and Solrock set up a harden. Seviper then confused Solrock with a swagger; she fainted shortly afterwards to a confusion, but she had done her job, and Mew went on to do massive damage with a rock slide while tanking a rock slide from Solrock! Mew then took out Lunatone with a rock slide, and Solrock injured itself in confusion. This let Mew KO it the next turn with a rock slide, as well as injure her Inkay quite seriously with a rock slide (it got off a feint attack, but it did negligible damage thanks to the field). Up next came Nim's Espurr, and I had Mew KO Inkay and injure Espurr with a rock slide while tanking a shadow sneak. While Nim's Espurr was able to dodge a rock slide the next turn and do some damage with a psybeam, Mew was still able to KO it the turn after that with a mighty psywave! With that done, let's go chase down Zetta! ...Also, I'll try to keep this updated more regularly, m'kay? The team so far:

Update #39: I Only Need One More Soul... Before I Become GOD. Well, El was surprisingly easy. On TEH URN, I led with Kid, and he set up a light screen and a misty terrain before fainting to a judgement and a shadow ball. I sent out Ice Cap next, and he tanked a focus blast to lower the Arceus' speed with an icy wind. He fainted the next turn to a judgement, but this speed debuff was enough for Temmie to come out, tank a focus blast, set up a nasty plot, and do massive damage with two fire blasts! Although she fainted to two judgements, she left Arceus so weak that Alphys was able to swoop in, tank a focus blast, and end the Arceus with a psychic! With that little escapade over with, it's time to head out to take on Randomus! The team so far:

Hey! Sorry for the loooooooooooooooooooooong delay in updates; I've been playing Pokemon Desolation. It's a great game, and I'd recommend you check it out if you haven't already. Anyway... Update #38: Knock 'em DEAD, Darling. Well, Cain wasn't too bad at all. On TEH URN, I led with Muffet, and he led with Zoroark (disguised as his Nidoking). Muffet tanked a dark pulse and broke the Zoroark's illusion with an x-scissor, then set up a sticky web while Cain healed Zoroark with a moomoo milk. Zoroark then tried setting up a nasty plot, but fell to an x-scissor before it could land any hits. Cain decided to send out his actual Nidoking next, and I sent out Ice Cap, who took it out in a single turn with an ice beam before it could even attack! up next came Cain's Gengar, so I swapped out to Kid. Kid set up a light screen, but then, shockingly enough, Gengar used trick, giving Kid its choice specs and locking him into light screen! I swapped out for Alphys, and surprisingly, she managed to tank a shadow ball and a focus blast to do massive damage with a dark pulse! Cain then swapped out to his Beedrill, and I had Alphys take it down with a dark pulse and a psychic before it could even attack! Cain then sent out his Samurott, and I sent Muffet back out. She did massive damage to it with a leaf blade, but fell to a megahorn immediately afterwards. I sent out Kid next, and he took advantage of the choice specs Gengar gave him to do massive damage with a psychic, ending the Samurott! Cain's Muk came out next, but it only got off a single poison jab before falling to two psychics! All that remained was Cain's weakened Gengar, and although it took out Kid with a shadow ball, Temmie was able to tank a shadow ball and end it with a fire blast! With that done, it's time to chase after El and get Gossip Gardevoir back! The team so far:

Wow, this thread got a lot of attention! Thanks to everyone who posted; in case you were wondering, there is a YMMV Page, and I added a section on Wake-Up Call Bosses (including some from Hardcore). You can find it here. I was actually about to go to bed, but I'll make sure to update it in the morning! Once again, thanks!

Well, I guess you're right. I can't change the past, but I can alter the future. I'll try to make it up to Shiv the next time I see him.

Um, am I the only one who decided to

Update #37: This is All Just a Bad Dream... AND YOU'RE NEVER WAKING UP! Well, Fern was actually surprisingly easy! I led with Muffet, and he led with Ludicolo, back from its Mexican vacation! Ludicolo did massive damage to Muffet with an ice beam, but Muffet was able to just barely survive with 9 HP and set up a sticky web before fainting to another ice beam. I sent out Parsnik next, and she set up a coil while Ludicolo attempted to set up a rain dance... and failed, thanks to the naturally-blowing wind! Parsnik then ended Ludicolo with a mighty gunk shot, prompting Fern to send out his Krookodile. I swapped out to Ice Cap, who fired off an ice beam and tanked an earthquake, causing KKrookodile to KO itself from life orb recoil! Up next came Fern's Mega Sceptile... and it died almost instantly from an ice beam. Fern then decided to send out his Scizor, and I sent out Temmie. Temmie KO'd the Scizor with a fire blast, ending it almost instantly! Fern sent out his Serperior, and it promptly got a speed boost from the sticky web thanks to contrary. Joy. Luckily, Temmie was able to tank a leaf storm and KO Serperior with a mighty fire blast! All that remained was Fern's ace, Roserade. I sent out Kid, and he set up a light screen while tanking a giga drain, then fired off a psychic. The Roserade tried to get off a hidden power fire, but Kid survived and ended it with another psychic! With Fern down, it's time to explore the maze that is Route 1! ...If I don't post in two days, send help. The team so far:

Um, I'm kind of stumped in the Lord Helix/Blue Bidoof puzzle. Could anybody help me?

Yeah, I'll be the first to admit that Abra was pretty cheap. But hey, I beat it, right? Anyway... Update #36: (He Doesn't Know What To Say.) Well, Noel was both really, really hard and really, really easy at the same time. I led with Muffet, and he led with Cinccino. Muffet managed to outspeed Cinccino thanks to the sunny weather and set up a sticky web, but then fainted from a rock blast. Temmie came out next, but she,too fainted from a rock blast. I sent out Kid, and he set up a reflect while tanking a light screen before getting off a single psychic; sadly, he then fainted to a rock blast and two bullet seeds. I sent out Parsnik next... and this is when the battle began to turn in my favor. Cinccino missed a rock blast, allowing Parsnik to set up a coil (which was boosted by the field). Cinccino then managed to land a rock blast, but it barely did anything and Parsnik just set up another coil. The battle started to weave back in Noel's favor when Cinccino managed to make Parsnik flinch twice in a row with a tail slap and a hidden power, but I was able to heal Parsnik with a berry ice cream, and she tanked a rock blast and a hidden power to end Cinccino with a gunk shot! Noel's Porygon-Z came out next, but fell almost instantly to a gunk shot before it could even attack, as did his Pyroar. Up next came his obligatory Mega: Mega Lopunny. Parsnik tanked a jump kick and a return to survive with just two HP remaining and KO Lopunny with two facades! I quickly healed Parsnik with an ultra potion the next turn, allowing her to tank two brave birds and do massive damage with a facade! It didn't KO Staraptor, though, so I healed Parsnik with a berry ice cream, allowing her to survive a double-edge and a close combat and KO Staraptor with one last facade! All that remained was Noel's Clefable, but it went down to a single gunk shot, ending the fight and earning Frisk the Standard Badge! Time to go see if Saphira's okay! The team so far:
