Sixth Rock to Smash : In every little girl there is a fighter. Heyo guys and so we're just after that Angry Corey who gave me a very, very hard time, who jumped over the bridge. Fern the asshole didn't have a single emotion, and told me to go in Lapis Ward , well i'm an obedient guy, so i came to that Lapis. Just a little off topic before, i did the Growlithe egg quest, and i had a Frilish, so as i said above i soft resetted the game to not have the growlithe at all, sticking with Fighting types Well, so i wasnt prepared at all for the trouble incoming, i litteraly have 3 pokemons and a burden in my team. I hope to get ride of Korrina ASAP since she cant tank even a tackle from Magikarp. But well she's still a level 30+ body and she's a good cut slave, so well. So i came in Lapis as we asked me to, i didn't complete the gang quest as my pokemons are near the level cap, so more training would hurt them more than help them. I'll leave that for when i have another pokemon. I came in the city, and got wrecked about 5 times by that old trainer and his FUCKIN Azumarill who play roughed all my team about 5 times, that was frustrating. But well, i came to the murder scene, and finally Vicky decided to go in the tunnel, i followed her and she was caught by those meteor grunts, Aster and Eclipse. Well , quick exploration, quick fight, and easy wreck. Battle VS Aster and Eclipse Well, that was easy since they carry lot of rock pokemon while we were a double Mono Fighting team x) Still those lunatones and solrocks are annoying , but i could breath long enough to close combat them. Victoria sent her huge fire pig on the field and wrecked them all via bulldoze. She’s scary. Well, so Aster and Eclipse weren’t a pain at all, but i have a very big trouble in front of me, all my Pokémons are above the level cap so no one is obeying. This is frustrating because i cant even catch any pokemon except fighting one and the next fighting monsters will be in Apophyll, so i have to wait until i reach it .o. I think i’ll buy a huge amount of common candies x) Well, so i met Shelly the crybaby and Vicky asked me to find a doctor, well, Sigmund isn’t the doctor you need huh. Well , Anna started her speech and i had to pass the guard of Sigmund. Mario took the lead with Belly drum and swept nearly all the team, leaving the remaining mons to Ginpei who ended with Fire pledge he récently learned by forgetting ember. Well that’s cool, but i have a Badge to earn .o. Went to the room and told Shelly the message from Anna, and somehow it turned her on for a match, Vicky was still worried about her mental state, but who cares, i have a badge to earn, shit e.e So i decided to challenge her quickly, but Vicky got in my way. …. Dang, Vicky is still on the way…. Well, winning Versus Victoria is really hard at this point since most of my Pokémons arent answering me but i cant lower their levels because i want to have better moves. I think it’s a major difficulty in Hardcore as the opponents have moves like Dynamic Punch while your best attack is Fire Pledge. Well that sucks. Soooooo I sent Kenji against her Scraggy, Intimidation lowered Kenji’s Atk but Defiant raised it by two stages, letting a Karate punch kill the Scraggy; Vicky sent Gallade and i used swagger on it, making him to be confuse. I used Seismic toss to put gallade in the red and Gallade used psycho cut, OHKO’ing my poor Kenji. Ginpei took the next steps. I used Nasty plot, because i knew she would super potion her gallade, and then i killed it with Fire pledge. She was about to send poliwrath, i sent Mario. Mario placed a Belly drum while Poliwrath used rain dance, he tanked a waterfall and OHKO’ed with Force Palm. She sent her own Hariyama which i OHKO’ed aswell. She sent Emboar, wrecking the remaining life of my Mario, i sent Korrina who tanked an Heat Crash and used body slam, paralysing Emboar. I delt some damages with another body slam and fainted. Finaly, Ginpei came with a close combat, ending the show Battle VS Shelly Mario and Ginpei VS Masquerain and Illumise Ginpei didn't obey me, letting Illumise confuse Mario and Masquerain damage Mario aswell. Mario placed a belly drum. Ginpei was confused by illumise, but was still able to make a fire pledge attack, turning the field into a flame one, and Mario killed the other pokemon with knock off, making a double KO. Mario was burnt by the field and died. I sent Korrina, Shelly sent Armaldo and Heather. Heather used Air cutter, and swept my whole team. End of the game :3 Battle VS Shelly Rematch This time, i sent Kenji and Ginpei to the fight, intimidate lowered Kenji's attack, defiant making it even higher ! Kenji and Ginpei vs Illumise and Masquerain. Ginpei used fire pledge, Wrecking illumise and turning the field into fire while Kenji used seismic toss to deal 39 Damages to masquerain. Masquerain used energy ball who was nerfed by the fire field and took low damages. Shelly Sent armaldo, Ginpei insta killed it by fire pledge but took an aqua jet before. Masquerain still used energy ball on kenji, making him almost faint. Shelly Sent Heather, Ginpei OHKO'ed her by using amplified Fire pledge while she was recovering her masquerain by ultra potion. Kenji used a seismic toss, dealings 40 damages , and fainted. I sent Korrina, while Shelly used Vespiquen to replace her Heather. Ginpei used Amplified Fire pledge to get rid of Vespiquen, Masquerain used Air slash to killed Korrina....Korrina is useless. Mario came, against Bugsy. Both my pokemons didn't react to my orders, letting an air slash and a struggle bug weakens my team. Since Mario is unable to OHKO something from shelly, i used his turn to heal a little Ginpei by super potion, Ginpei used Fire pledge, who thanks to flame boost from the field still OHKO'ed the Bugsy. Masquerain used Scald, but thanks to the recover, Ginpei was able to tank it. I used another super potion on Ginpei, healing it, he used Fire pledge on Masquerain, and it fainted, granting me the victory ! Well, so this part was a tryhard for Victoria because her fighting pokemons are obeying E.E But well, that wasn't as hard as Corey since bugs ae less threatening. But still, Fire Pledge was a Huge pushover against her team by making her field useless for her and so damn useful for me. Well, Ginpei was my win condition this time. Kenji supported the team well with his Defiant ability, while the tanking ability of Mario helped me a lot. Only deception is for Korrina who litteraly didnt do anything in the Episode other than getting exp from exp share. Well, the team is slowly drawing itself, i'm learning the weaknesses of Fighting mono teams, slowly i grow stronger with my team Seeya in the next rock to smash, oh and i almost forgot : The team so far !

Congratz on finishing the run, looking forward your hardcore project

I almost cried on Rue's release D: But well, you passed Charlotte well, once she sets up sun, thats really though but you managed to wreck her *-* I guess Blake will be hard, but regarding all you beated, you cant lose ^^

Well, HM Slaves can be used as healing bodies, so even with that that lose all the interest.

Taka was a pain for me too, Basically, Chatot was either KO him before or just take boomburst in the face xD Grats you could passed both, but yeah, Taka Zel is surprisingly easier than Taka Alone, dont see why. So i voted for Corey also, and to be honest, i didnt find anything Broken in the corrosive mist field. Sure, Corey was the worst battle i had in the hardcore run, but each pokemon isn't broken itself, the whole team is a pain because you lose pokemons in the process ^^

Thank you very much, i got it <3

Yosh ! Where can i trade the magmarizer for magby? I did have the Elekid but no Magby D:

Took me 285 resets for Gastly, wish you luck You can check the gender of misdreavus if you wanna see if its resetted properly

1 Time, because when your game window isnt your main window the game freeze, so i opened lightshot and used it

Pelipper is creepy xD I like the PULSE strategy you did have, Well thanks to Nuzzle you unlocked the whole fight even with that reducing damages ability , nice one o: Fern was a little bit thoughter for me , but wasnt too difficult. But you'll have an hard time on corey x_x

Wide movepool? Had to stick with that TM from Julia charbe beam until the end of the run... Catch a Blitze

What a nice weapon you got there, i love it <3

Well , must say i'm impressed, never thought you would beat flo that easily . As stated above, nothing can stop you now hehe GL with Beryl investigations, if you dont wanna be insane in the end, dont chose the misty poison field x_x

That's not something important, that's just fun to see Dont worry about that There also is ability capsule if i have the IV i want with wrong ability <3

Tyrantrum doesnt need DDance while it is a rock smash attacker i think o:

That britney spears reference :3 Anyway, by playing Liligant ambipom and altaria, you have 3 of my fav pokemons in your run Seel will be hard btw, keep up the training for her as you dont have any resistances to her D: GL man

Wow those scraggys will be really hard xD Toxic one is kinda....Mean x) Anyway, i hope your Mickey and shaggy will evolve quickly, because Florinia is still a pain for unevolved mons x_x

I caught a tynamo in version 15 like the guide said :/

There are friend berries available at the 8th floor in the obsidia department store who will help evolve Riolu =)

You also could have use Meowstick with Light screen boosting its evasion and psychic who never miss in the mirror field

Yes, gym leaders have 6 pokemons....You should prepare yours----KABOOOM !!!! Julia passed here. Well, GL in your run ;D

Red Chaos you're female *3* Well, that's a nice team you got, even with the damages being mostly halved , so you cant use your stab, you're good at making holes in opponent's team and wreck it on the way ;p Looking forward the Florinia Fight

I reccomend you an Hardcore run, that's funny to make, also if you like a type in particular, why not making an hardcore monotype run? *-*

I'll try to draw another one , i'll open a DA when i'll have 5-6 colored draw to post

Fifth Rock to Smash : My Love is like Poison. Well well, i did beat Taka but i realized that in Monotype hardcore, a type disadvantage can make an Huge difference if you're not well prepared, while a team advantage wont affect much the fight if you're too confident about that. Preparation and strategy is the key to passing through the difficulties, i'll keep that in mind. So i saved the cops and ran into Beryl which i fought some Meteor grunts in , and killed lot of wild pokemons. Kenji is really better than when he was a Mankey , that's cool to see how evolution really affects the game. However, my pain is only starting since i'm about to confront again that guy and his Flying army e.e Well but....Uh Oh. Yes, i love this part of the game, when you fall into the trap and Fern comes to rescue you. It is showing how much Fern is an asshole, a complete asshole. I wish to say yes and beg him just to see how it turns , but...I can't help it, i cant beg x) So it's my third run into the history, but still dont know what happens if you beg him to rescue you x) Well, this was a little off topic, so i'll continue in what you're all waiting, the recap of the important matches in mono and in hardcore o: Fight Versus Zel and Taka. Well, i realized that it's the first battle trainer (Don't counting scraggys) in doubles since Fern dont team up with you in the factory, so it was something different from the casual battles, Well i couldn't even setup because i wouldn't want to be wrecked. Okay so the starting is here. Kenji and Ginpei VS Lileep and Glaceon That was a double KO, Really x) Flame Wheel got rid of Glaceon while Karate Punch got Lileep. Well, that was payback time. Zel sent Espeon while Taka sent Gligar. My first strategy was to focus on the most dangerous, Aka gligar and acrobatics. So, I killed gligar with both seismic toss and flame wheel at once, but Ginpei took a psybeam from Espeon, putting him in the red. Taka sent Chatot, This time, i trusted my iron fist stabbed close combat to OHKO it while assuring it would be killed after by using assurance on the Chatot. Close combat did OHKO the bird, and assurance hit Espeon who lost almost all his life, but the Espeon Psybeamed my Kenji, leaving him too in the red. Taka sent PULSE Tangrowth. Since Espeon was in the red, i wasn't aware of him since a super potion would come, so once again, i tried a 2VS1 , Ember + Seismic toss, who lowered severely the pulse, letting us kill it next turn, it worked, but Kenji paid the price with his blood, since Espeon was free to deal a Psybeam to him, beating him. But from now, i had a Huge advantage as All of Taka's mons were dead, leaving Zel in a 1VS2 battle. Sent Mario who faked out Espeon, letting Ginpei kill it by flame Wheel, Zel answered to that crisis with Jolteon, but that Jolteon was OHKO'ed by Close Combat from Ginpei before even moving x) Umbreon was the last pokemon from Zel, and it took close combat aswell, ending the match. Welllllll ! Ginpei and Kenji made an incredibly good team, That Espeon Gligar Chatot trio wouldn't be handled easily i thought, but both of my pokemons did great. I was thinking about releasing a pokemon once i would add some dual types to the party, and i was thinking about Mankey, but i'm thinking of getting rid of Pancham instead. Well, i have a good core with Kenji the Primeape, Mario the Hariyama and Ginpei the Infernape , and i like this core As expected, i freed all the cops, so they could arrest Corey in front of Heather, it's a little bit sadistic, but i want to battle in the poison field to make this really a challenge. Time to run after Corey !!!! Muahahaha ! Well, so I ran into the Gym and saw all the cops were against me, so i decided it was the perfect time to train Korrina, and it worked, she's also level 30 now ! Well, solved the puzzle, found the angry Corey who wants to destroy me, and go to the ring ! Hahahaha !!! Sooooooo Begin ! Battle VS Angry Corey Mario the Hariyama vs Qwilfish Well, that intimidate broke me a little in my enthusiasm, but fake out closed his mouth. Hariyama was poisoned and guts activated, but this wasnt enough, i didn't even took half the life of Qwilfish and my pokemon fainted. Korrina went and was OHKO'ed before doing anything, letting Kenji seismic toss against Qwilfish, killing it, finally. But Swallot killed it just after. 1 Pokemon down for corey, and one still up for me, that's ridiculous, I send Ginpei and flame wheel immediately, that gets a +1.5 boost so it kill Swallot. Corey Send Scolipede who get insta killed by flame wheel, but i ended up being wrecked by Nidoqueen's body slam. .o. ...That's frustrating. This time i came with a completely different strategy, i let you figure that by yourselves Battle again with Angry Corey Kenji VS Qwilfish This time, that's Kenji who opens the way, Qwilfish reduces the atk of Kenji with intimidate, but Defiant raises its attack by two stages, making him a good early attacker, However, it's not enough for Kenji to beat Qwilfish and faint after two bubblebeam. Mario Takes the lead, it tanks a Bubblebeam and knock of for game against Qwilfish, at this point, he's poisoned by the field. Angry Corey sent Swallot, which i answered with Mankey, a level 10 Mankey i caught earlier in the game. While the Swalot Ice beamed my mankey, i was healing Mario with a super potion. I sent Mario again and Faked out the Swalot, i then knocked off, tanked two shadow ball, but fainted in the end. Ginpei was the next one, against scolipede this time. I nasty ploted myself and took a poison tail in the face, Ginpei was poisoned also. Scolipede got speed boost and rock thombed me, that wasn't for the best since i couldn't sweep the whole team in this state. Nidoqueen Ended Ginpei again. In the end i lost again, but my strategy was paying in some way. I had to pass Nidoqueen before using my Ginpei, and the key was Mario . With guts and knock off , it becomes a good tank, but it needs to heal regularly and so i have to super potion it on each switch. I know i can do it, so i'm returning back. Angry Corey, third match. Kenji vs Qwilfish Despite the 1 turn Toxic Spike setup, i lost on the bubblebeam again.. Mario took the lead again, being instantly poisoned, he knocked of the qwilfish, granting me the win against it. Corey sent Swallot, i tanked an two ice beam and knocked off two times, beating it, he sends nidoqueen, i answer to that by releasing a poor mankey as a "Home made substitute". The mankey faints, and i send Korrina as a lure too, my Mario needs full HP to deal with nidoqueen. Korrina takes an icy wind and faints for body slam, letting me restore full health on Mario. Mario takes the battle, fake out the queen. Then he tanks a body slam and knock off the black sludge. Next turn he knocks again and win. That was Skuntank's time, so i switched for another poor Mankey ! It got rekt so badly x) Skuntank used night slash on Mario dealing poor amount of damages, Mario used Hand Palm to -50% it and paralyze it. He killed the Skuntank one turn latter, but was killed by Aftermath. I sent Ginpei, who beated easily the Scolipede. Corey sent his Crobat, while Ginpei tanked easily 1 Air slash, he couldn't tank 2 so i lost in the end. Hardest battle from the beginning. X_X Well, i tried again, wasting all my money in super potions, and in the end, it took me 9-10 times to beat Corey. Kenji finaly was able to defeat Qwilfish, letting me have 4 bodies to heal my Mario, a brief recap of the battle. Kenji VS Qwilfish : Kenji won Mario VS Swalot : Mario Won Kenji VS Nidoqueen : Kenji Lost (Healing Mario) Mario VS Nidoqueen : 1 Knock off delt and then retreat because of that poison move that lowers attack, spattack and speed. Ginpei VS Nidoqueen : Ginpei won by nasty plotted ember. Ginpei VS Skuntank : Ginpei won by nasty plotted ember. Ginpei VS Scolipede : Ginpei won by Nasty plotted ember. Ginpei VS Crobat : Ginpei Lost (Healing Mario) Well, at this point i began my strategy, the new one, i sent mario who faked out crobat, taking 20% of its health and flinching it. I switch for a Mankey who takes venoshock. Then i send back Mario who fake out, taking another 20% of the health. Switching to Korinna who's being one shotted by the flying move, dont remember what. Sending again Mario who's now my last pokemon. As you can see, last pokemon is Mario and i'm about to use Knock off, in order to tank an air slash, mario has to be almost full HP, my plan was to knock off the crobat before he uses any potions or berries... Well, finaly made it and beated Angry Corey x) Fortunately i didn't flinch from Air Slash and Mario tanked it very well, granting me the victory after ~15 Tries xD So here is the recap of my pokemons : - Kenji the Primeape : Strong, but definitely need a neutral move other than Assurance because that sucks, it cannot do much damages if i'm not super effective or neutral. - Korrina the Pancham : Really Disappointed ; way too frail to endure even one bubblebeam. - Ginpei the Infernape : I dont regret either Nasty Plot or Close Combat early learnt , both are saving my ass x) Nasty plot played a major role during EVERY gym battle , i love it. - Mario the Hariyama : Today's surprise, Amazing bulk and decent offense, he was the key for the whole match, i'm loving him. Well so, Corey ran away and threw himself from the bridge as usually, some screens as a reminder for you And finaly , the team so far ! Well, next time we're gonna walk through Lapis Ward, that means evil doctor, frail girl with bugs, the mysterious man in black , and moarrrr. Well, Fighting type also does halved damages on bugs X_X Fml. :3 Well, thanks for following my adventures, and see ya soon
