Filthy Casual

Pretty much. However, keep in mind we're going to do E17. Season 3 is going to shorter, as it's going to end after Ciel.

Chapter 9: Caught Off Guard Before we could move on to the next town, we still had a challenge to face. Indeed, it was time to fight for the dark type badge! After receiving our next badge, we decided to continue onward to the next town, where we finally ran into Emily once more! As a side note: you can completely skip this battle by entering the town by the gap closest to the topmost wall of the desert. I hope that gets fixed. Still, after challenging Emily from the right (as we were forced back into this position), it was time to fight! Despite the intense battle, Emily congratulated us for our victory. She told us about a tour going on at a temple supposedly built to honor Regigigas. Before we went there, however, we did a bit more training. In fact, the last member of our team received an evolution! The team is now complete! Before any of you say it, I chose Poliwrath because I don't like Politoed. It's face creeps me out. Still, after Tad's evolution, we continued to the ruin, where we ran into an old friend! Jim informed us that he flew here on his Staraptor. At first, I thought that was just irrelevant dialogue, until he gave us this: YES! To celebrate, we engaged in a battle! Before we decided to explore the region with Fly, Jim asked us a strange question... After a bit of thinking, I decided to answer this... We were then told by Jim that a group of Tepig had been spotted in the first town, and someone was on the way to clear them out. As such, we needed a Fly slave to bring us there (as Jumpluff can't learn it). Because of this, let's say hello to the newest slave of the team... After catching our HM Slave, we headed back to the first town, where we found someone who ran the gym leader trainer's school. As such, we decided to help her clear out these Pokemon. To be honest, it wasn't even a fight. Krueger (Zangoose) decimated them all with Slash. Still, one of the Tepig decided to join us! Next time, we'll be heading into the next town! Current Team

Chapter 34: Solaris gets Shafted Again Temere ran for miles down the mountainside in order to warn his comrades about Terra's betrayal. He knew that he would need someone to help deal with this threat. As such, he took Bonsai (Torterra) out of the box, knowing that it was going to be a brutal fight. At first, Samson and Ciel couldn't believe what they heard. However, as soon as Terra heard the conversation, she was quick to admit her guilt. Terra decided to quickly flee into... ...the computer? That's right! In a neat twist, the game becomes generation 1, mechanics and all (excluding the fact that you still need to recharge Hyper Beam after fainting a Pokemon)! Temere embarked through a glitchy Kanto, even catching another new team member along the way! Say hello to the newest member of the team... Unfortunately for Temere, his quest led him into a mysterious cave, where he had his toughest challenge yet... ...a Rhydon. It was time to fight! After our victory, Temere finally confronted Terra. It was in Kanto's champion's room where she revealed her motivations... Honestly, that sounds about right for Terra. Before we get into the fight, I might as well bring this up now. Remember that voice when we left the temple after defeating El? It appeared again, only this time, in diary form. It seems as if this third party wants to release a "baby Arceus" so they can "play forever". As creepy as that sounds, Temere still had a job to do: to stop Terra! After our victory, Terra decided to flee from the scene, escaping to battle another day. He had no choice but to escape the computer. Both Ciel and Samson decided the best course of action was to unplug the computer, keeping Terra confined to a small space. This means next time, we are finally able to save Titania with our fancy new Waterfall HM! Who should we catch? What should their names be? Who should we use? Also... It's up to you! Current Team

Chapter 8: Clash in the Courtroom Before we begin this episode, I would like to introduce to you a new team member I caught and trained offscreen. After our brief training montage, we went to see Crolea, where she explained the situation. Yes, it was two gym leaders who were leading this drug brigade. As such, we began to look for their secret entrance. However, while doing so, we stumbled across (and trained) yet another new team member... Eventually, we found the hideout, where we found... ...well... ...yes it was this universe's version of Batwoman. She proceeded to tell us that in order to make it to Damien, we would have to fight her first! After her defeat, we found none other than the two gym leaders in the back. Indeed, it was time to fight... ...or, they just give themselves up immediately. I'm not a huge fan of this, and I'm going to share a quote from Insurgence to show you why: "What a great life lesson. It's totally okay to make money doing horrendous things as long as you stop eventually." -Radio Tower Director, 2017 Clearly, the circumstances are quite different, but the message still applies. The two gym leaders pretty much get off without any punishment whatsoever. Still, this did allow for us to challenge Raymond for our next badge! With that battle done, next time, we'll be taking on Damien! Current Team

Chapter 33: Top 10 Anime Betrayals After a brief period of preparation (yes, I hate Blake that much), Temere and Shelly went to investigate Blake's house. Unfortunately, he anticipated that, snatching the ring right under Temere's nose. That's when he revealed a bit of plot... Indeed, the angel of the city was none other than Heather, who has been held captive this whole time! Before they could confront him, he quickly ran out. However, we ran into another "ally". While Cal is still a coward, it was nicety see him help both Temere and Shelly. The two explained the situation to Cal, allowing him to give a neat fact about Heather... ...wait, WHAT?! How was she captured, then? You'd have to have a huge weakness against ice, like drag- ...oh, yeah, her Salamence... Regardless, both Shelly and Temere eventually found Heather up on the mountainside, where she was being holed up in a small shack. Fortunately, Shelly had a solution... ...wait a second, why can't the MC do this? It seems strange that we can't just send out Pyromancer (Typhlosion) to melt the door or Bonsai (Torterra) to knock it down with Earthquake, so what gives? Regardless, after rescuing her, the group had determined they would stop Blake at all means necessary. On the way up, Temere was separated from the group, where he ran into Aster once more! Oh, hey! What's up? Want to give me some free EXP? Okay, all trash talking aside, I doubt you have anything I need. You're just a grunt character who- ...it's time. With his victory, Aster relinquished his HM. However, he didn't have time to celebrate. There was one thing left to do: to stop Blake... ...oh, did I say that? I meant to say "to stop Blake's Mr. Freeze-esque puns." ...let's just do this... Unfortunately, it turns out that Blake was stalling for time, as his getaway ride finally made it to the peak. This inspired Shelly to say this: ...I'm sorry, but really? This is the worst time to say that, especially since his getaway vehicle is right there! Blake would have to jinx himself pretty hard to somehow screw this up. ... ...you deserve everything that's about to happen to you. As a side note, I'm kind of mad that Blake's the character who only thinks about himself while trying to act like the top dog. That's supposed to be Fern's thing. I was tempted to replace Blake's sprite with a blue Fern, but I didn't want to be mean. Regardless, the quartet retrieved the Ruby Ring back from Blake. However, there was still one problem... ...actually, yeah, there was supposed to be a machine there. ...he's bluffing, right? Wait, no? But I don't think Terra would lie to us? She's too ridiculous. See? Even you can get that- ... I haven't said this, but I dislike Terra. To me, she doesn't have a real personality other than "L0L, 1m t0t3z r4nd0mz". It's only personal, but she never stuck out to me. Because of this, I never took her betrayal as a real shock. Still, a betrayal is a betrayal, and as such, next time, we'll be taking on Terra! Who should we catch? What should their names be? Which six Pokemon should we use to fight Terra? It's up to you! Current Team

A simple question for all of you: how do you rank each of the series champions, and why? Here is my list:

Chapter 7: City Limits After defeating the water type gym leader, we went to an interesting Jurassic Park-esque theme park in order to stop a raging Tyrantrum. However, instead, we ran into this individual. This person, named Lime, told us that our sister had defeated the Tyrantrum, catching it in the process. Lime then gave us a Marble, challenging us to a battle! After our battle, Lime proceeded to tell us that there were three more mysterious trainers waiting to challenge us. However, we decided to head into the next town, where we were immediately given a request. This gym leader asked us to help him bust a sketchy vitamin selling business by the market. However, we didn't know where to begin looking. As such, we did a lot of exploring. This allowed us to buy 30 Ability Capsules (I'm glad I generally never spend money lol), as well as run into an old friend. Of course, there was only one thing to do: defeat her in a battle! After our battle, we asked Crolea if she knew anything about this mysterious drug ring. Fortunately for us, she knew a fair amount. She told us to find Delicia so we could discuss the matter further in private. However, before we could do that, we caught another party member! After catching our newest team member, we realized there was only one place Delicia could be... ...the candy store. With her defeat, the two are now waiting for us in the... contest hall? Are we going to have contests?! Even if they don't, I appreciate the gen 3 reference! Still, next time, we'll be trying to get to the bottom of this, perhaps even earning a badge along the way! EDIT: I just saw on the home page that the contests weren't working yet. Still, the fact that they are possibly coming is awesome, especially since it references my favorite generation (I'm biased, okay?)! Current Team

Chapter 32: Cold Origins With his new HM, Temere decided to use it to dive underneath the glacier, trying to break it from the inside. Fortunately, with the help of Aoi (Vaporeon), it seemed to work! However, he discovered something quite unsettling... That's right, this Avalugg had blocked the path to Ametrine! We had no choice but to take it out! After the easy victory, Temere was pleasantly surprised to see that Shelly had followed him. The duo had decided to continue onward towards Ametrine, where they were met with a town full of starving yet optimistic people. Through their curiosity, the two decided to ask the townspeople about what was happening. A guardian angel, huh? I'm flattered, but I haven't really done anything yet... ...oh... it's not me... Regardless, Temere's line of questioning eventually led him to a mysterious abandoned warehouse. The two decided to use this opportunity in order to look for clues. However, as they were looking, they instead ran into something much more promising... That's right, we got Terra's battle pass! Now, we can get annoyed to death when we challenge her (more on that later). However, that wasn't all. Shelly was kind enough to find more useful information: Apparently, those rumors about the supposed deaths of the two girls weren't necessarily wrong. You see that PULSE Machine back there? It's apparently the first of its kind, and it created a PULSE Magnezone. This Magnezone not only fused the two girls together, but also a mysterious member of Team Meteor named Zero. In fact, wait a minute... ...Zero, Eve, Lumi... ...IT'S ZEL! Before Temere could relish in this discovery, he was interrupted by yet another threat... ...blue haired Fern. I'll get a bit more into it next part, but I despise this character. Not only does he act a bit too similarly to Fern for my tastes, but if you remember the very first Reborn randomizer I did, this fucker stalled me for a good month! While this part was short, next time, we're going to take this guy down, as he's clearly a part of Team Meteor! Who should we catch? What should their names be? Which six Pokemon should we use? It's up to you! Current Team

Chapter 6: "Water" Way to Go After a brief rest in the Pokemon center, it was time to continue the journey. We entered the station, only to find that it had been taken over by none other than Team Portal! Quinn decided to explain to us that Barker warned him ahead of time of Snooze's arrival. However, this wouldn't deter him. It was time for a fight! With another victory under our belts, we took this time to explore and catch some new team members before taking on the next gym. As such, meet the newest members of the team! After training our newest member, we decided to take on the next gym leader, who... ...dear god, here come the puns... Before we received our next badge, Chelsea proceeded to tell us about a strange species known as a "Star Person" (I think, I can't remember on the top of my head). Apparently, one of these people is the champion. Regardless, next time, we'll be continuing our quest! Current Team

That team looks like fun! Dusknoir is always fun to use! I'd recommend that you may have a water type in the back for a reserve. I'm obviously biased when I say this, but I'd say Swampert is a solid Pokemon to pick up. It hits like a truck with moves such as Earthquake, Waterfall, and Rock Slide. If you don't want it on your main party, it also makes an excellent HM Slave.

Chapter 31: All Fired Up As Temere was leaving the facility, he looked down only to notice that his prized jacket and shirt had been ruined! Now, he would have to find a change of clothes. He quickly looked around the room, where he would find a box labeled "Breeze Industries" from the Kalos region. While this was a company he wasn't familiar with, he opened it up, only to find a brand new pair of clothes inside! Now, Temere had a brand new look: I'd like to take this opportunity to give a shoutout to @Awesome_One for making this outfit. He decided to make it's colors the same as Temere's first starter, Dangerous the Sceptile from Rejuvenation. Remember, though, if there's an outfit you want to see Temere in, just send it my way via a PM. After that brief escapade, Temere decided to head up to Calcenon. There, he discovered none other than Hardy. After explaining the situation to him, he quickly hurried to the Meteor Base, which had been supposedly been held up by a PULSE Mr. Mime. Funny enough, that's also where Victory Road begins... strange... Unfortunately for us, we happened to run into another piece of scum. That's right, Fern decided to join Team Meteor. However, just as quickly as he introduced himself, we ran into another person: Mr. Bland himself, Sirius! He demanded that we hand over the Ruby Ring in exchange for Aya's life. Of course, we decided to oblige, giving the ring to Charlotte to deliver it to Team Meteor. However, unbeknownst to Sirius, they had faked the deal. Temere is currently in possession of the real ring, while Team Meteor is waiting for a dud. We eventually explained the situation to Charlotte regarding Ametrine City, stating we needed Dive in order to progress. As such, she allowed us to challenge her gym! With our new badge, we are now able to gain access to Ametrine City! Who should we catch? What should their names be? Which six Pokemon should we use? It's up to you! Current Team

Chapter 30: Eclipse's Really Bad Day After Temere's victory against Samson, he looked at his starter, Bonsai. He was realizing that he was starting to grow as attached to Bonsai as he did to Dangerous (Sceptile). Because he didn't want to lose him, as well, Temere decided to commit a series first and box his starter. For this episode, a brand new team would be used. Along the way up to Ametrine, Temere stopped by Titania's house in order to pick up his promised HM for Surf. As he was getting it, however, he happened to notice a book lying open. Thinking it was his favorite novel, The Great Gastly, he began to read it, only to find out that it was actually Titania's diary. He had discovered that she had faked her relationship with Amaria in order to keep her sanity in check. As he was putting the diary down, however, Titania caught him in the act. She began to blast Temere, yelling at him for involving himself when he had no right to. According to her, she knew he was trouble as soon as she met him on Route 1. However, before she could continue the rant, Titania herself was caught in the act. Unfortunately for Titania, Amaria discovered the truth. However, all things considered, she took it rather well... ...okay, maybe "well" is a bit optimistic. Titania tossed Temere (lol alliteration) the HM for Surf, claiming she was going to save Amaria. He would have to retrieve the HM for Waterfall in order to save her. He now had two objectives: stop the PULSE Machine causing mayhem in Ametrine and find Waterfall. Temere decided to head to Ametrine first, only to find that the way had been blocked. In fact, even Hardy, Aya, and Cain couldn't get past it. As such, the group decided to travel to Calcenon first. With the path being so close, it was nice to see that we could just- ...take the long way... Needless to say, these blasts had been occurring everywhere, even separating the group! With Aya's help, Temere was able to traverse through much of Route 3. Along the way, they even discovered something much more sinister... Indeed, it was Aster and Eclipse! The duo explained to our heroes that Team Meteor had hooked up a PULSE Clawitzer away from Calcenon, allowing them to attack the city from a long distance. Of course, it was time for us to stop them! Despite our victory, Eclipse didn't seem to mind. In fact, she even deactivated the PULSE Clawitzer for us. In fact, to make matters even better, she even gave us some backstory on Team Meteor. Apparently, they used to only want people to leave Reborn, performing smaller acts. However, when Lin joined, everything changed. What, exactly? Good question, since Eclipse was unfortunately interrupted by none other than Sirius! Lumier! What did I tell you about hugging people? Seriously, though, for betraying Team Meteor, Sirius sent his own Chandelure out to burn away her spirit. He was going to burn ours, as well, if Aya didn't jump in his way. This gave Sirius an idea. Unfortunately, Aya is now under Meteor custody. Next time, we'll head to Calcenon and explain the situation to Hardy! Who should we catch? What should their names be? Which six party members should we use? Also... It's up to you! Current Team

Chapter 5: Spreading that Supa Hot Fire To be honest with you, I didn't plan for this LP to coincide with a version update, but I'm glad it did! I'm going to enjoy playing through this with everyone, especially since some of this could even be new to people who already played the game! Regardless, we made it inside the gym, where we met the gym leader. Arethra only had one request for us: that we don't destroy her flowers. With that being said, it was time to battle! With our new badge on hand, we triumphantly went down through a beach to the next city! There, we met up with Emily once more! Emily had told us that she defeated this town's gym leader. This gym leader was none other than Chelsea, the girl sitting right next to our sister! She told us she would challenge us if we defeated someone named "Cherry" in a battle. We had no choice but to comply. As we went in, we discovered... Meanwhile, I can imagine Cherry telling Snooze this... Of course, Snooze was not about to take this disrespect. As such, we went into battle! After our victory, we went back to Chelsea to challenge her. However, as we were doing that, we noticed something awful: Team Portal had invaded the BBC! As such, next time, we're going to stop them! Since there's a new update, my question for each of you is this: what did you name your characters, and what was your team at this point? I'd love to see how my team compares! Current Team

IT'S UNDOUBTEDLY THAT TIME! WE HAVE AN UPDATE!

Oh, that makes sense! My bad!

Chapter 4: Our Lord and Savior Our adventure began with us meeting up with Emily, allowing us to travel with her in the woods. As we walked in, we discovered a creature so powerful, so incredible, so mind-bogglingly awesome that it has the potential to be arguably the best in-game Pokemon in existence. Ladies and gentlemen, meet our fourth main party member, the Lord and Savior himself... We did a lot of exploring, until we ran into this mysterious figure. According to Agne, the forest's layout had been created by gym leaders, while one in particular, Isabelle, had a power so great it could bend reality itself. As such, they made this forest out of boredom. It's actually a neat concept. Eventually, we made it to Felicia. Before we could do that, however, we caught another box slave new team member... Seriously, though, we ran into Felicia once more. As it turns out, she has a little sister of her own in Delicia, the strange pink haired woman who attacked us at the beginning of the game. To make matters more interesting, Felicia is one of the admins of Team Portal! As she met us, she expressed to Emily how it was also nice that she had a sister... ...wait, what? Wait a minute, no! I clearly picked male! That should at least say "Interesting coincidence that you have a sibling too!" Poor Snooze's confidence must be crushed! As revenge, Snooze decided to take it out on the two sisters! After our victory, we decided to explore a bit more across the area. Here is what we found... After our quick exploration, we decided to head south, where we found another new character... You know the drill by this point. She introduces herself, immediately challenging us to a battle! Eventually, we made it to the next town, where we found the next gym. While we could take that on tomorrow, we needed to do some training first. As such, most of the team evolved! Next time, we'll be taking on the grass gym for our next badge! Current Team

Chapter 29: Brawl in the Big Top Through much of his break, Temere spent his time training his additional box members. However, one of his box members, his Vaporeon, never had a name, until now. Say hello once again to the newest member of the team... After his training, Temere decided to meet up with Cain at the gate past Route 1. However, we started to notice a couple things... ...off... However, if that wasn't bad enough, we then noticed something much worse... That's right, it seemed as if Aya and Hardy had fallen asleep through this curse. In fact, things were about to get even worse! "Cain, you can't fall asleep!" Temere began to cry. "What if your... you know... I'm kind of tired, myself..." Thunk... ...Temere and Cain woke up much later, only to see some strange figures standing over them. They were named Samson, Terra (more on her later), and Ciel. Apparently, Terra had found us unconscious, smacking us with her hammer to the local Agate Circus. However, before we could quite process everything that was happening, Cain noticed none other than her sister on the couch! Temere looked down on himself, only to notice that his clothes were different. When asking about this, the Ringmaster told him that his old clothes were warn down while we were asleep. Apparently, they think the two had been asleep for almost a week! Regardless, Aya had woken up, only to explain what had happen. Apparently, Hardy had taken her to see his gym, only for them to pass out in the middle of the street. This led to one major question... ...where did Hardy land? Temere took it upon himself to explore the land. Along the way, he ran into a mansion, which apparently happened to double as a water gym. Who ran this gym, you may ask? That's right, it was Amaria once again! She had been living here with her lover, "Tania". She even introduced her to us, as- ...oh, no... Regardless, Temere and Titania had officially been introduced to each other. While Temere was obviously skeptical of Titania, he still had to find Hardy. Titania, overhearing this, told him that Hardy had been asleep upstairs! Apparently, the two are siblings! Temere informed Hardy of the situation, telling him to head back to the circus as soon as he could. As a thank you to us, Amaria and Titania gave us a spare battle pass! These passes would let us challenge the gym leaders of Agate! This first one would let us battle none other than Samson, the new fighting type leader! With our new badge, we could now use Surf! However, before we could celebrate, we received some news from Terra. Apparently, the PULSE Machines responsible for Agate's mysterious crisis could be in one of two places: Calcenon or Ametrine. As such, next time, we'll be heading up to Calcenon to check in on the city! Who should we catch? What should their names be? Which six Pokemon should we use? It's up to you! Current Team

In regards to your next status update, I'm hoping you complete the Troll 2 reference and say "OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!"

Oh, boy, that was a fun part. I have a couple of nicknames for your Pokemon. First, I recommend calling Shedinja LeafyisHere. Why? Because he may seem invincible, but all it takes is one hit to take him down (lol based god Idubbbz). Also, it has no chin, as it's technically an extension of its face. As for Yanma, maybe try Buzzkill, because Bug Buzz hurts on this thing. It's harder to come up with something dank on this. I'd say YanMegan (as in Drake and Josh Megan) if it was female, but it's unfortunately not. Maybe YanNegan (Walking Dead), so he can kill all the Glenns?

I think it's the theme from the Roxie's town in Black/White 2.

That's cool to hear! Honestly, using Zangoose as a starter has been a huge treat so far! Okay, that's fine, then! I got a few Full Moon flashbacks for a bit. That's extremely assuring to hear. Alright, that's fair enough, then. I suppose I'm extremely lucky getting a Pheromosa with good attack EVs. Still, I'm going to box her, since I don't want the game to be too easy, but I see where you're coming from. You're getting me excited hearing these motivations! I appreciate that you took the Rocket route in making them more threatening rather than the comical Skull approach (as far as I know so far). Thanks for the feedback! I know I was harsh on Full Moon, so if I act like a jerk with Spork at any point, let me apologize ahead of time. I'll say this, though: so far, it's really fun!

Mudbray is definitely showing up somewhere. I'd guess Mareanie will be one of the new Mystery Egg Pokemon, and perhaps we'll even see Kommo'o somewhere in the desert.

Chapter 3: A Devilish Pursuit As we were invading the casino, we decided to do a bit of training. This allowed us to receive our first evolution! As we were invading the base, we learned a bit more about the agency. Their name, you may ask? Well... ...there's just a lot going on with their design. Overall, though, I don't mind. They're not blatant recolors like in Full Moon. In fact, even their admins are unique! This was Barker, the leader of this particular ring. It was time to stop him! With that out of the way, Barker preceded to berate us, claiming we were fighting a battle we couldn't win. As he escaped the facility, we could see why... This is also the reason why I think Team Rocket is the best team (followed closely behind by Team Plasma). While every other evil team is trying to take over the world, or perform some anime-esque task, Team Rocket has already established themselves as a type of power. The fact that Team Portal gives me these vibes as well is extremely encouraging. Oh, I should mention this, shouldn't I? Apparently, Crolea works for Team Portal, wanting to keep an eye on them. She decided to test out our strength once more! With the battle completed, we used this opportunity to catch another team member... Along the way to the next town, we discovered a new friend... ...kind of... She seemed too shy to say anything, unfortunately, but still, she'll be a recurring character. We also discovered... ...oh, no... Regardless, if there's one criticism I have so far, it's the environments. They feel extremely empty. Perhaps it's because the environments don't stand out too much from FireRed/LeafGreen, but it's a shame. Still, we eventually made it to the next town, where we ran into our sister! With her new Lopunny, she decided to take us on in a battle! Emily proceeded to explain to us that a gym leader was in this town. As we walked in, we noticed that... ...yeah, she's creepy, isn't she? After our victory, we received the TM for Shadow Ball (which is quite frankly way too early to receive it). Next time, we'll be- ...oh, right, I suppose we were interrupted by Emily once more. She explained to us that someone named Felicia was waiting for us in the woods. Next time, we will be meeting up with her there, as well as hopefully earn our next gym badge! Current Team

One final update for everyone: With that out of the way, next part will be the beginning of Season 3! We'll be starting off the season with a battle against Samson! Who should we bring for the fight? Who else should we catch? What should their names be? It's up to you!
