Fifteenth Rock to Smash : Battleing a Prodigy Came back to the house without Saphira, it was time to battle Noel while waiting Saphira. My pokemons were ready. Battle Versus Noel. It started with Cinccino against Erik. I supposed it was about to be an easy battle, but the Beauty Queen with her ice pokemons taught me to not underestimate any trainer in Reborn Hardcore. So i went frankly with a Close Combat. The Cinccino outspeeded me, but i was able to survive the bullet seed. I killed the Cinccino, thanks i didn't flinch....Well, wat awaited me was heavier than that.... Staraptor was sent, knowing that i couldn't stop any bird attack, i switched for Matter who litteraly destroyed the Staraptor with his counter. Porygon Z came next, i sent Erik who wasn't able to outspeed it, it fainted. I didn't have any pokemon that were faster than P-Z so i decided to take a bulky way. So Cyril took the next. He tanked the tri attack and used Hammer arm who almost killed the porygon. I tried another Hammer arm, but Noel Healed his Porygon Z and i missed, letting the Z kill my Cyril. Since when a P-Z can tank super effective hits seriously x) Mario was next, he used Fake out, and tanked a tri attack, to finaly Kill the P-Z with a close combat. At this point i have 2 pokemons near from the death and 2 still able to battle. I guess that will be harder than expected still....P-Z is a monster. Lickilicky was next, but i OHKO'd him by Mario's close combat. Next one was Audino Mega, Heavy Slam damaged it but Dazzling Dream killed Mario. Thanks to Mario who had a Steel type move, i was able to beat Audino. Josue Came, and his Poison Jab killed Audino. Finaly, Nomos Aka the Clefable, Noel's Ace came on the Ring. Thanksfully i still had Josue in the ride. Double Poison Jab killed Clefable, giving me the win over Noel. Well.....As a normal user, i would suggest Miltank instead of the licky thing. Cursetank can be a real nightmare for anyone who doesnt have a counter, give it a set like Body Slam, Curse, Milk Dring, Heal Bell with Scrappy or if you want a more casual set, go for Defense Curl, Rollout, Milk Dring, Body slam while making the cow Thick fat. Well, Lopunny is also something to considerate since it's just a monster in mega, and scrappy will help the team. I guess it would be better than audino. If you really fear fighting that much, put Pidgeot mega instead. ^^ Well, Noel wasn't as hard as Serra, but is still a thing. I love that :3 Next one will be Radomus, RIP me :3 The team so far !

Fourteenth Rock to Smash Thunderstruck and We will Rock You ! Well, most of you get the reference, i guess. It's time for us to prepare ourselves to battle the almighty and Handsome, , Sigmund. Well, we all know he's a little Jerk that loves to play with children's minds, i hate him. Before going through this fight, i had to train a bit my pokemons, because some didn't battle at all since Kiki, so it was time to get stronger. I dropped Shin, the Throh. Training him isn't worth the results. He doesnt have anything different to offer and cant tank anything. Well, so the team went through Charlotte's house and handed the Medicine to Nostra who felt a lot better. Soo Saphira came with really bad news, Sigmund was coming with a bunch of meteor grunts, and we had to protect the base. Sooo i was the primarly line of defense, really? Well, Sigmund came and a battle started. Battle VS Sigmund. Erik VS Mega Ampharos Close combat makes huge damages while signal beam only cut by half my life, i'm spamming the Close combats, getting rid of Connal's three Hyper potions, and finish with a night slash but he survived dont ask me how and took erik down by thunderbolt. Josue came and a poison Jab killed the Ampharos. Electivire Came and used cross chop, i tanked the attack and used drain punch, recovering all the damages i took thanks to black sludge too. Sucker punch finished him. Luxray came, but was killed by double Drain Punch. Rotom came, but was Insta Killed by poison jab. Eelektross came, it tanked a drain punch, used discharge which i tanked. Josue didn't answer so it tanked another discharge, but finaly finished the mons by using drain punch. Finaly Lanturn. Drain punch took half its life, lettign Josue recover. Josue tanked a Discharge and finished the lanturn by drain punch. Piece of cake. Sigmund was really childplay. At this point, i'm switching Josue for Matter. Well, that bitchy doctor took Charlotte and Shelly, and because Saphira truly loves her sister, she wants me to grab her with her. Well, i like Charlotte so i dont mind and i follow her through Meteor's base in Tanzan Mountain. Beating few grunts and finaly went to the core of the base, but Zero teleported us to the dark cave. The Steelix boss battle started. VS Steelix Erik used Destiny bond, was crushed, and crushed Steelix as a result :3 The girl rided the Steelix, and it's time for another boss battle. VS ZEL Abra swept all my team at first try, this thing is insane o_o At this point i'm switching Moley, Leslie and Rocky for Mario, Cyril and Josue. I also gave a focus sash to Erik. Since Sashes are consumables, i reserve them for very important bosses, and thanksfully, Erik managed to tank a dark pulse and placed his destiny bond, killing the PULSE Abra. Well, those battles weren't has hard as before, but well. We'll stop now for this time since Noel is the next in the trip, so we'll try to be prepared enough to deal with him No team so far since they just leveled up since last time :3 Seeya in the next Rock to Smash <3

Oh dude, i'm assuming that all runs are hardcore since you brought the hype. xD I'm an idiot x)

I guess in mono, the matchs we expect to be easy are the harder, i got the same feeling with Shade who was immune to fight, but he was a piece of cake.

I guess i'll try the 1.9 after i will have this run closed, because all the fix you're doing seem really attracting, i love hard ways ;p Well, i did have a boring time IRL, too much work for not enough time, but i'm back Serra was a pain actually, missing physical hits is deadly, and the haxx is real in this fight, even with the type advantage, i got shrekt x)

That was a really huge work and to be honest it's one of the most serious runs i've seen, the RNG hated you like fuck and you still found ways to get over all the difficulties, that's impressive Bravo , bravo guy I'm hoping you'll continue this after E16 Release PS : I didnt read the hall of fame yet, i'll comment it later <3

Looking forward to see you get Shrekt by corey x)

Glad you got the same pain as i got with Corey x) He's insane this guy, but well , that's not hardcore for nothing. It's from Corey the hardcore mode starts i guess, because after that, if you dont include shelly, you wont look any pokemon game the same way as before :3 I like the fearow though <3

Well, i guess i have to say i'm impressed. I really didn't think you could beat Aya like that because i had a pain with a good tank team and your pokemons seemed too frail for me, but well, even with that pain, you got her in the end But hey, i thought you would pick Sigmund to make a sparky confrontation, you coward xD Well, i'm happy to be back to see your brand new adventures, have a wonderful birthday aswell

Wow, those progress are awesome, GGs man in one week you completely took over the run. You've done the hardest , the rest should be easier than the beginning since you can always catch new mons Glad you still use Mickey the Pelipper though :3 Well, due too the long wall of text, i didnt fully read all details so, was Aya harder than Corey? I did REALLY have an hard time in doubles with her x)

Thirteenth Rock to Smash : Ice Beauty Queen vs Huge Focusing ! Well, EV training ended in a cool way, and my buffed pokemonsters got an huuuuuge boost from that. At this point, i'm really starting to feel that the team is able to make some breakthroughs in the Hardcore world. Well, Serra is a cool matchup for me as Ice is very weak to Fight. One focusing, one punching, and hop here we go. That's what i tought at least... So i grabbed the kids and went outside the railnet, Heather the little annoying kid flew away, without even saying a damn word. Are you kidding girl sigh. I hate Heather for that you see, i dislike those kind of people who dont care about anything else than themselves. Well, byebye Heather. We ran to Charlotte's house and Nostra felt bad, so it was time to go to Spinel and get the Medicine, and here i came to the gym to battle Serra. But before...There is a loser that wants to get his ass kicked. Battle Versus Bennett Kenji dueled against Larvesta , he started using thrash, but that did very poor damages to larvesta who OHKO'ed him with Zen headbutt. Matter came, tanked a Zen Headbutt and answered with counter, making the Larvesta faint. Scyther came and used wing attack on Matter, making him faint. Rocky was next, but was overkilled by wing attack. Josue was killed too, aswell as Shin and Erik, all of my pokemons fainted due to that damn Scyther. I lost to Bennett x_x At this point i'm switching Shin (Throh) for Ginpei (Infernape) I'm also switching Kenji (Primeape) for Cyril (Emboar) I'm also switching Rocky (Medicham) for Moley (Scrafty) VS Bennett Rematch Ginpei against Larvesta Ginpei could this time make two fire pledges against larvesta, putting it in the red. But he paid his life for that. Moley came to take the next, i knew Bennett was about to heal its insect so i placed a dragon dance. I used another one and tanked a bug bite. That was sweeping time. Moley used two rock clims in a row, tanking a bug bite, and killed that larvesta, raising its attack by moxie. Heracross came but fell for an Hjkick from Moxie Moley. Scyther Came but was crushed by Crunch. Vivillon came but was crushed aswell. Same fate for Butterfree. Venomoth putted quite a surprise by hanging a focus sash, resisting Moley's impact, but in the end it fainted. Battle Screens Well, the guy was gone, and i so i got a date with his mother, who said mi....Well let's skip that :3 Battle versus Serra Sooo we started with Erik (Gallade) Versus Abomasnow. Surprisingly id didnt have snow warning, and that was cool because i didnt want to get Haxxed x) Buuuuut he mega evolved, showing his hidden snow warning D: Well, Erik did OHKO it with Close Combat though. Glaceon came, and boosted its evasion. I didnt want to struggle with hitting the mirrors, plus my Gallade was already lowered in stats due to close combat, so i simply used Destiny Bond , the Glaceon used frost breath, criting my Gallade and Killing it. But he died too :3 Ginpei was next, against Masmowine, who had Snow cloak too !!! Well, i tried a close combat, but hitted the mirror and took an earth power. Fuck it. Josue was next. I intended to make the max amount of damages. I tank a blizzard and missed a Drain punch, i tried to drain punch again but Serra switched for cloyster. It allowed me to recover some HP from Josue alongisde with its holding black sludge. Josue was still faster than Cloyster, it killed him with drain Punch, Mamoswine came back and kicked the toxic Fighter with Earth power... Moley was next, she tanked an icicle crash and used Ddance, the she tried to Hjkick and succeed, making the big mamoth faint ! Vanilluxe came, i was fearing the missing Hjkick so i came safely with a crunch, i lowered vanilluxe hp to the red and i got killed by frost breath. That allowed Cyril to take the lead. Serra used Ultra potion, allowing Cyril to one shot the Vanilluxe with Head Smash. And finaly , Froslass came, and again raised its evasion. She critted my Cyril with Shadow ball, wrecking it. Matter came, but at this point i already lost the fight. Froslass used two shadow balls, making Matter faint. I lost. Versus Serra Rematch Again, Erik crushed Abomasnow, but this time will be different the beauty queen calls Glaceon which i answer with Mario. Glaceon boosts its evasion, it uses stored power, killing my Hariyama in one shot. Erik comes again. I made a mistake by believing Mario could tank Glaceon but that wasnt time to lose hope, Erik came and did OHKO Glaceon by using Close Combat Successfully. That was Mamoswine's turn. I tried to go reckless with Close combat , but Mamoswine was faster and used Icicle crash, wrecking Erik. Moley came, tanked an earth power to place dragon dance. Hjkick worked and took Mamoswine down. Vanilluxe came, and was also killed by Hjkick. Cloyster came, Moley ignored my orders and took an icicle spears. She didn't listen again and was Ko'ed. Ginpei took the lead, He used a nasty plot, tanking a rock blast from Cloyster. He then used fire pledge but got Wrecked by Focus sash. Josue's turn, since Serra used ultra potion, i was able to deal double drain punch, wrecking the Cloyster <3 Froslass finaly came.... It tanked a sucker punch, but kicked Josue with a crit Shadow Ball. Cyril was last, Serra used an ultra potion on Frolass, Cyril used Head Smash , OHKO'ing the froslass, giving me the win <3 Battle Screens So well, Serra was kinda hard to be honest, never expected i would try two times with the type advantage, but well, i finaly got her, and that's a good news for my comeback The team so far !

Seconding Dragon's offer , i like that ^^

Well, with that sash being consumable, it's pointless to have one Imo

Espeon will be the mascott at the end game part i think, like finishing Seel with Espeon would be awesome ^^

Emboar hasnt heavy slam sadly, but still, it got Head Smash, how is a freakin good move

Twelfth rock to smash : Focusing open the ways of punching ! Hello guys ! Aya freshly beaten, i got the access tp a powerful thing for my team , aka strenght. Strenght would open a lot of things in my trip, including the access to the railnet, and so to Ralts. I decided so it was time to focusing, training time. I went to the railnet, and found Cain who wanted to save the kids like me. Well, if i wanted to do that, that was to have an access to the corrupted pokeball. So we went together in the Yureyu building and we beated grunts. When we went to the top, i had a choice of either fighting Sirius or Sigmund. I wasn't feeling like dueling an electric mono on a factory field, so i took the way to battle Sirius. Battle Versus Sirius Moley and Nidoking VS Hitmontop and Chandelure Nidoking protected moley well by being a target, letting her put a Ddance. She then almost killed chandelure by crunching it, but got killed by Hjkick. Josue and Samurottt took next one, Sirius switched Hitmontop for Probopass and saw his chandelure faint from sucker punch. Samurott air slashed Probopass. Sirius sent Manectric, who got kicked by drain punch and air slash. Hitmontop came again. Probopass used thunderbolt on Samurott, and Hitmontop used Hjikick on Samurott aswell, wrecking it. I almost OHKO'ed Probopass with drain punch. Cain sent Venomoth. Sirius used an hyper potion on Probopass, but Josue OHKO'ed Probopass and tanked an High Jum Kick. Sirius sent Honchkrow and Killed Josue by a brave bird. I sent matter , who tanked Hitmontop and killed it. but Venomoth was killed aswell. Seviper Came , and Muk came in my side. I used retaliate on the Seviper, Honchkrow used brave bird on Matter, killing both itself and my pokemon. Seviper was finaly kicked by knock off, giving us the win. Soooo i finaly got what i want, the corrupted Pokeball. At this point i felt training was required to progress in the hardcore, so i returned to reborn City, and gragged Department Store stickers to buy the long awaited item *-* Well, i can finaly train my pokemons decently ! I grabbed my current pokemons to finish their EV Spreading, i mostly raised the speed and the attack of all my mons, they'll show their full potential by this manner. I went to the aqua gang Hideout, that's my fav place to train EV since they're all giving 1 speed EV and most of pokemons need that anyway. So each pokemon give me +4 attack +1 speed and that's enough. I killed almost 800 pokemons in total, because they had to be trained hard, and my champions are ready I also went to Apophyll, because of strenght i could grab that Tepig. I was going to reset it, but see what i got on my first encounter. I wanted to train quickly the Tepig, so i went to the most evident place i could think about to train him. I also resetted the corrupted pokeball, that was really boring because i had perfect IVs but that was a female Ralts, i tried asmany resets i could do and finaly got a decent ralts. Finaly, after some EV Training , here are my three new recruits Well, we're ready to battle Serra The box so far ;p That was a short Update, but in fact that took 4 hours of playing x)

That Aegislash's shied did bring loooot of trouble haha xD Anyway, i think too that was creepy to name the Gengar Corey, but well, Shade's gym is creepy so why not x) Mvp in that run is Red Chaos <3 I also caught you love Nuzzle dont you? Since even with the world champion gone, you still have it on Kamina

Hmmm Shelly seems to be really hard now, to be honest, i just went like i will hit strong and fast to beat her, but you placed a nice strategy to beat her. I guess that will be interesting to deal with her new version. I'm looking forward that I see you're testing in monotype conditions, i guess that's cool for us My MVP of the run is Mickey the Pelipper, i like him and it is surprisingly working cool, though i wouldn't keep quick attack on him but it has proven its value. That's what i like about reading your Playthroughs, there is a good variety of strategies to beat the game, and even more in harcore ^^ Looking forward Shade's gym , it was a piece of cake for me because of sucker punch x)

Would you go for offensive or defensive Starly? I'm curious

Moley in the MVP in the team i think, she's just awesome ♥ Hjkick relies on haxx, but to be honest i like that. I just understood with your comment the thing about Solaris, why he sent tyranitar was to set up sand for an evasion garchomp....I see now I litteraly laughed at the comment about Korrina, that's so true x) And yeah, Aya is a pain , because of her massive damages with Sludge wave in doubles. Dragalge is a wrecking ball, and if you dont have anything to kill it asap, it can wreck the whole team. So i would recommend to go in 2VS1 on him, no matter what's the price ^^

Basicaly, if i make a team that is totaly irrelevant, i have to struggle with it the entire season?

Or you can revert to episode 13 and go in the store and buy them

Eleventh Rock to Smash : My love is like poison part two Business in Apophyll ended, the part that got me addicted was gone. But the best was in the future. At this point the story stop "stalling" like in the first part, so that will be a really fast run. Not sure if that's for the better because i love that fighting monorun, but well, whatever , i wont rush so that should be fine. Soooo i met the pretty boy in the front of Bysbyxion Wasteland as he wanted , for him to open the door between his sister and I, again, not in the bad sense But well, Cain wants some love, and here we are with him. Soooo. Facing the Pretty boy. I started with Ginpei while the pretty boy started with Venomoth. Again i got lucky on the first pokemon. But well, Fire pledge Wrecked the Venomoth. The pretty boy used Samurott which i answered with Korrina my Pangoro. Korrina took an Air Slash and fainted. She's ridiculously bad at tanking attacks...It wasn't even stabbed Dammit. So that was Moley who took the fight against Samurott, she used an High Jump Kick ,making the water pokemon faint. The pretty boy sent Nidoking and wrecked moley by an ice beam. Well, i sent Josue my toxicroak. It used Strenght against the Nidoking, lowering it's HP, it tanked an ice beam and killed the Nidoking with Sucker punch. Gengar came, but was killed by a crited sucker punch. That was Muk's turn. I switched for Ginpei before and placed a nasty plot to kill the Muk with Fire pledge. I then used the same move against weezing but it tanked it, letting Ginpei faint against Sludge bomb / wave dont remember which one.But finaly , Josue finished the Weezing using Sucker punch, beating the pretty boy. Well, so i found a way to the wasteland. I quickly grabbed the black sludge in it, and went through Aya's house / gym. But well, i didnt do anything else for the moment, because i wanted to pass the level cap quickly because all my mons were struggling with that. Well so i quickly found Cain's sister, to be honest i find her pretty , i guess she's my favourite character based on the design. Her eyes especially looks very mature, i like that. But well, this isnt the moment to talk about Aya's pretty face since the dumbass Fern is still here. So here we go in another battle ( I really thought he was a girl at first sight, really ) Well, Fern is the same deal each time. He leaded with Ferrothorn while i used Ginpei. Fire pledge wrecked the steel grass, but then Krookodile came and tanked close combat, wrecking Ginpei with an Earthquake. I sent Rocky, my Medicham who finished the Krookodile with a Drain punch. Fern scent Scizor who was wrecked by High Jump Kick. I was quite surprised when Fern sent out Sceptile Mega. I didnt expect him to have a mega that early in the game, but whatever, the Sceptile killed Focky by a leaf blade. Moley took the lead, managed to place 3 Dragon dances, and swept both Sceptile, Roserade, and Serperior, giving me the win. Well, the dumbass was done, so i started to fight the sister. Double battle gym leader was a pain against poison because of Sludge wave. All their pokemons had the ability to hit both my pokemons at once, and that was a clear handicap in my progression. But well. Battle versus Pretty Girl Aya We started with Ginpei and Josue VS Nidoqueen and Tentacruel Ginpei uses nasty plot and Josue Sucker punch on Nidoqueen. They both tank blizzard and Sludge wave well. Then, both fighting pokemons combine their sucker punchs and fire pledge to take the nidoqueen down. Tentacruel tried a muddy water, but even if it killed Ginpei, Josue Healed itself using Dry Skin <3 Moley was next, facing Gengar. Josue delt a Sucker punch on gengar, lowering its HP and tanked a Shadow Ball, Tentacruel used Sludge wave, Killing both Josue and Gengar in the process. Mario came. Facing Dragalge. He immediately used Faked out on Dragalge, buying some time for moley. Moley tanked a blizzard. Moley used crunch , killing the Tentacruel. I healed Moley with Mario's action , and they were both able to tank the sludge wave because of that. Drapion came. I spent another marios turn in healing Moley, allowwing her to OHKO drapion with Hjkick. But the two partners in love were crushed by Dragalge Sludge wave... Korrina and Rocky were finally both killed by Venusaur Mega and Dragalge... Well, at this point, i'm switching Rocky the Medicham for Matter the Sawk, Medicham couldn't tank any sludge wave, it was useless here. Wasteland Bi....Punk Aya rematch. Moley and Mario were against Nidoqueen and Tentacruel. The Huge mario used fake out on Tentacruel, buying some time for Moley who tanked an earth power from Nidoqueen and used a dragon dance. I used the second turn of Mario to heal Moley who Ddanced another time. The Love Duo tanked both blizzard and muddy water. Mario again passed his turn to heal his lady who almost killed Tentacruel with Crunch, but lost its life in the process, you were a good husband Mario :'( Korrina came, Moley crunched the Tentacruel who lost and Korrina crunched Nidoqueen , halving its life. They both tanked a sludge wave. Moley crunched Gengar while her sister Korrina healed her. They again were both able to tank a sludge wave thanks to the heal. Dragalge Came. Moley crunched it but didnt killed it, letting Dragalge sludge wave both Moley and Korrina who fainted. Moley also tanked Blizzard. Ginpei came and healed Moley who immediately crunched once more, getting the win from Dragalge, they tanked another blizzard. Drapion Came, and it was time to Nidoqueen to get out thanks to moxie crunch. Ginpei tanked a poison tail and healed Moley in the process. Finaly, Mega Venusaur honored us by its presence. He was crunched in no time by Moxie Moley while Ginpei used close combat on Drapion but was confused just after. Moley finally used Facade on the Drapion, giving me the win over Aya <3 Welllll , i got that poison badge ! Poison fight are really a pain with Fighting mono, both Corey and Aya were very difficult. I managed to find a way for Aya thanks to the amount of pokemons i had. When i fought Corey i had only 4 Pokemons, Korrina included and she couldn't tank anything, so the match was almost entirely on Mario's body. I understood at this point why Corey had been that difficult. And that crobat tho. Well, Aya is out, next step is to find his brother in the railnet to free the kids with him. Well i have some things to do before, because i have strenght man <3 I love that <3 Aya is beaten, the adventure continues, seeya in the next rock to smash And dont forget our mascott contest The team so far !

Moxie is the MVP Your participation is noted , i really like it though Thanks ^^
