    If you could make your own mega evolution...

    in Pokémon Fan Club

    Posted · Edited by FactoryofSadness

    Here's an idea for one of my personal favorites:

     

    Mega Raichu (Kantonian)

     

    Type: Electric

     

    Ability: Rock Head

     

    HP: 75 (+15)

     

    Attack: 160 (+70)

     

    Defense: 55 (+0)

     

    Special Attack: 40 (-50)

     

    Special Defense: 90 (+10)

     

    Speed: 165 (+55)

     

    BST: 485 -> 585 (+100)

     

    New Move: Flare Blitz (learned at level 60 as Pikachu)

     

    As you can see from the stat change, Mega Raichu becomes much more physically offensive than its other counterparts. It has developed such a habit into ramming its hardened head into the opponent that it now can fully utilize moves such as Volt Tackle and Flare Blitz without taking any damage. It's major weaknesses would be ground types and priority moves. Of course, Alolan Raichu would also get one that is Specially Offensive, but that's a topic for another day.

    But after relooking at this scene, I can't put it any other way than saying it was...pretty bad. This whole scene was more overdramatic than a game series where a total of 5 people died across 7 games. And dying is a very huge deal in those games. It's just way too in your face that Melia is dead but spoiler alerts I knew then and I know already that she isn't dead. It's an obvious cliche which just makes this worse. Even Crescent pretty much accepted Melia is dead without any questions or denial. Which makes this honestly a really, really bad death scene.

     

    You want to know the icing on the cake. One character did act the way they should over a death like this. It wasn't Ren or Venam. It was Zetta. He was so distraught and angry in which all he could do is lash out on the people closest to blame. He screwed up and it costed them their most important piece. Honestly, I think he acted a bit too tame because depending on the organization, you could be killed for a screwup like that. But he did his role fine. Venam and Ren we're barely even phased by losing one of the closest people in their life. They blame Team Xen for her death but as Zetta said it wasn't their fault. She got her own damn self killed.

     

    But now I get to talk about death 'cause trust me I've used it and I've used it many times. I'm a firm believer that when someone close to you no longer exists, you feel nothing but pain and more pain. You question your every decision and may straight up be very, very destructive to your being. Do you think Ren or Venam acted like that? And you don't just get over it instantly either. There's a reason why I save use death sparingly as it's a very effective tool. And then Crescent rubbing the fact Melia is dead to our faces kind of was overkill at that point. But bloody hell. I know I never really liked it, but remove the Dimensional Galvantula and there's not much good left. Did I talk about the Dimensional Pokemon changes as I don't feel the whole enter the rift flows as well as the old method.

    Your series is certainly quite interesting. I like how in depth you look into every element of the game, including potential plot holes. However, while I think the Crescent/Melia/Ren scene is bad, I still think it's a huge improvement on the scene from V8 and below. All that happens is that Venam makes some comment about how "easy" the rift was, despite the fact that she is afraid of spiders. Zetta acts like a stereotypical boring villain (like Sirius from Reborn), Crescent shows up, says something forgettable, and then Venam acts as if nothing even happened. Ren then says a really angsty line in "Sometimes, I wonder who the real person is: Venam, or Veronica" (not sure I quoted that correctly, but even so, THE ANGST). At least with the new update, there is actually some sort of character and emotion here. It's a bad cutscene, but it's still miles better than what we got before. Still, an awesome play through, and it's nice to see Samurott get some action.

    I have been quite bored over the past few days, so I offer this: does anyone want me to make a picture of their Reborn teams for their signatures? I greatly enjoy doing so, and will do it for free. Let me know if you are interested.

    Bug Monotype run of Reborn (Latest Defeated Leader: Amaria)

    CHAPTER 22:

     

    After visiting the Magma Gang headquarters (or hideout), we ask Maxwell about the dodgiest place he can think of, where would a kidnapper flee to with his prey. He immediately mentions Reborn's 7th Street, the black market of the Reborn City. He grants us access to it, and we manage to find -oh God- Bennett there. Bennett appears willing to help us save Luna and guides us into the Subseven Sanctum, the temple of the Arceus lunatics... Of course we know it's a trap, cause Bennett is a fucking idiot, but we have no choice. Gotta help Cain and Luna.

    But surely enough, El and his lackeys surround us and capture us, throwing us into a cell. But the prisoner in next cell and his Klefki release us, so we cautiously sneak under the eyes of the stupid guards and escape! We battle our way out and read weird prophecies of the Arceotic equivalent to Bible. We solve the puzzle, proving our knowledge of their religion, and open the gate into the centre room of the temple. Where Luna is tied on an altar and is about to get sacrificed to Arceus. But then, the Mad Hatter turns out to be disguised into a lackey of El! And G. Gardevoir teleports away the real guards, after teleporting in herself and theatrically dimming out the lights! After a brief confrontation during which Gardevoir ridicules the nerdy pervert Bennett and El, we save Luna and Cain and leave the place. El doesn't even fight back, since they are heavily outnumbered and Bennett is useless in battle if he has not a field boosting his Signal Beams, as we all know.

    Radomus keeps the Amethyst pendant we just reclaimed in order to do his research and asks from us to trust him, we just keep hold of the Ruby Ring for now. Radomus then leaves to unknown destination with G.Gardevoir, ditching Cain who wants his badge battle, so Cain sets off to Agate gate to try and wake up the guards. Luna reveals indirectly that she is sane and knew the truth all along, that El is her biological father. However she tried to fill the hole in Radomus' heart, and I presume she tried to do the same with Serra. I respect her much more now, and I promise to do a dark mono run for her at some point. Luna hands us a Crystal Key and invites us to Iolia Valley and her Gym. The entrance to Iolia Valley is behind the only tree that exists in Vanhanen Labyrinth... So, we are off!

     

    After wandering in the beautifully mystical Iolia Valley and the magically dark crystal caverns that surround it, activating Crystals and collecting all 4 Crystal Keys, we are able to admire the view from above blue crystal bridges access Luna's Gym! However, the stalker Bennett, whose level of cringeness has exceeded 9000, follows us and confronts Luna, revealing he is in love with her and wants her to be his. Oh God... Luna flees to where we will only be able to find her by using our Crystal Keys and Bennett tries to steal the Keys from us to keep chasing her. OK Bennett, time to get destroyed again! (@FactoryofSadness, you asked for this! ;))

     

    VS BENNETT

     

    I won't bother including the whole team I had on myself vs Bennett... It can be summarised as "one man pokemon army". Well, Kindness is male, so one man army might be correct too after all.

     

    masquerain.gif

    Kindness, the Masquerain (Male)

    Naive/Intimidate (Item: Wide Lens)

    Air Slash

    Water Sport

    Quiver Dance

    Hydro Pump

     

    Bennett sent in Larvesta and I sent in Kindness. Kindness outsped Larvesta and Water Sported, tanking a Flame Charge like a champion. In the next couple turns we saw the same thing happen. Larvesta outsped and used Flame Charge, which did eventually get Kindness down to yellow HP, but Kindness gathered 2 Quiver Dance boosts. In the next turn Larvesta Flame Charged Kindness into red HP, but an Air Slash annihilated Larvesta. And Venomoth. And Dustox. Oh, and Yanmega. And Scyther?! Yes. And his ace, Butterfree. Kindness swept them all while being in red HP, without even using a single potion. Checking afterwards, Kindness survived with just 10 HP. Can you stop wasting my time now, Bennett?

    He leaves displeased that his training hasn't paid off... YET, as he says, since he will keep training and ask for El to keep his promise to take him into Elite 4.  How you dumbass? You got swept by another Bug trainer twice, how do you even think you're more qualified than me for this position? xD, What a pathetic lil nerd, can't outnerd me!

     

    VS LUNA

     

    Anyways, we go deeper into the cave, and find Luna, finally challenging her for our next badge!

    The team I used vs Luna was:

    So, Luna starts with Bisharp and I send in Sir Galahad. Heracross outspeeds Bisharp and Close Combats it for an easy OHKO. +1 in Attack thanks to Moxie, -1 in Sp.Defence and Defence though.

    Luna tries to check my Heracross before it gets out of hand and sends in her Honchkrow. She is indeed a clever leader, which is a blessing to see after burning brain cells from my encounter with Bennett. However, Heracross outspeeds Honchkrow and uses Rock Blast. It connects 4 times, and since it is boosted by the Moxie boost and the Hard Stone, it is enough to take down the threatening bird of doom. Moxie activates again, +2 in Attack.

    Malamar comes in and gets OHKO'ed by a Megahorn, giving Sir Galahad a third Moxie boost...

    Tyranitar faces the same fate, but by a Close Combat this time. +4 in Attack, but -2 in Sp. Defence and Defence for Sir Galahad right now.

    Sableye comes in then. I go for the Aerial Ace, knowing that it must be enough to take it out with my Attack tripled right now! But it has Prankster and uses fucking Confuse Ray on Sir Galahad. However, Heracross fights back, beats his suicidal thoughts and Aerial Aces the annoying no weakness (except Fairy) thing to death! +5 in Attack thanks to Moxie!

    Finally, it is the time for Luna's ace, Umbreon and I desperately need my sweep! The broom is on my hand, Sir Galahad is instructed by me to use Close Combat, but nope! The suicidal thoughts prove themselves to be too strong to defeat, darkness wins and Sir Galahad OHKO'es himself by hurting himself in confusion with +5 in Attack and -2 in Defense. Ouch. :( 

    I sent in Valiant, my Kricketune. He outspeeds Umbreon and uses Taunt, immediately preventing it from using Confuse Ray on me. I actually did this to prevent Umbreon from Toxic stalling me to death with combined Moonlight (which heals 75% of max HP in this field), Toxic and Confuse Ray. In the next turn, Kricketune outspeeds again and X-Scissors Umbreon to about 45% of its HP, but Leftovers bring it to green again. A Dark Pulse gets Valiant to yellow, but, in the next turn a critical X-Scissor is enough to take out Umbreon and grant me a relatively easy victory. Second Gym Battle in a row where I have immense type advantage, and I begin to get too spoilt!

    I am still a bit salty about failing to get my sweep, but pleased with Valiant, my Kricketune who proved that he isn't a solely early game Pokemon!

     

    Anyways, Level Cap up to 70 now, TM for Dark Pulse, which is semi-useless again (maybe Willpower, my Shedinja can learn it, but has pathetic Sp.Attack anyways) and 9th baddge in the bag!

    Now, we have to make breeding preparations for the time we will spend trapped post Agate City and go meet Cain at the Gate...

    The Gate to Agate... I love saying this, LOL. OK, I will stop now.

     

    Till the next time, enjoy everyone! ;):) 

     

     

    Thank goodness! I hate that fight, so it is nice to see him taken down!
