Monotype Challenge!


Amethyst

Recommended Posts

At long last! I have been searching for many months, on and off, to find the very last Bug Pokemon for my team. It was very difficult to not only find Pinsir in the Safari Zone but even harder to catch one. At one point I was running into Chansey more than I was Pinsir. As I said, I have picked up the effort for a time then would drop it in frustration. This has been going on since probably my last post. Then today I decided to whittle away the time by searching once again and I managed to find several to my great luck. The not great luck was that I could not capture any of them. After much time of failure and failure, I decided that the last Pinsir I saw during that session in the Safari Zone [if any] would be the last for that day and probably the week. I came across one and sighed to myself knowing what would come. I threw the Safari Ball then set the game down to get some food. When I came back I would be standing in the middle of the field with the Pinsir having fled. But when I came back to my great surprise there was a ball sitting there in front of me! I had caught a Pinsir at last!

Now I can finally continue on with my Bug adventure of Bugsy as he attempts to keep up with his rival, Falkner. First I must catch up on where I was on my adventure, finding trainers I had passed by searching for Pinsir and battle them at last and in turn the remaining Gyms. But what dark evil lurks in the shadows for me to uncover...

* I was originally going to use the new B/W animated sprites, but there were only ones for Beedrill, Parasect and Venomoth [not Venonat] so decided to hark back to what are some of my favorite looking sprites from Crystal*

** I am also considering renaming Princess and Prince. Any suggestions? I would prefer ones relate to each other like Romeo & Juliet since I vision these two being partners **

*** Moveset suggestions, too, I guess. Remember, I am limited to what they learn by level up and single use TMs. So don't go suggesting competitive sets because those might have breeding moves or TMs I can't get.***

Erika: Hello... Lovely weather, isn't it? It's so pleasant...
Bugsy: I suppose it is. Lovely garden you have here. You wouldn't happen to have seen...
Erika: ...Oh, dear...
Bugsy: What?
Erika: I must have dozed off. Welcome. My name is Erika. I am the Leader of Celadon Gym.
Bugsy: You're the leader?
Erika: I am a student of the art of flower arranging.
Bugsy: You have to go for school for that sort of thing? No wait, better question: There [i]is[/i] a school for that?
Erika: My Pokemon are solely of the Grass type.
Bugsy: Oh good, that means a buffet for my Bug Pokemon.
Erika: ...Oh, I'm sorry. I had no idea that you wished to challenge me.
Bugsy: I had no idea you were the leader, so we're even.
Erika: Very well, but I shall not lose.
Bugsy: Very well, my Bugs shall nom on your grassy flesh!


Leader Erika would like to battle!

Leader Erika sent out Victreebel!
Challenger Bugsy sent out Prince [Venonat]!

Victreebel used Stun Spore! Prince is now paralyzed and may be unable to move.
Prince used Confusion! Deals more than 1/3 and now Victreebel is confused. Status revenge!
Victreebel used Acid! Darn, I was wishing it would choke in confusion.
Prince used Confusion! Brings it nearly into red health.
Victreebel snapped out of confusion and used Acid. You should have choked on acid and saved me the trouble.
Prince takes it out with a third Confusion. Ties its vine in a knot around Victreebel's body and tosses it off the field.

Victreebel is knocked out!

Erika sends out Tangela!

Tangela used Ingrain! Now a create of vines has vines in the ground.
Prince used Leech Life and deals 1/4 damage. Begin the feast!
Tangela used Giga Drain! No, I eat you not the other way around.
Prince is Paralyzed! Heck, I'm surprised it took this long for that to happened.
Tangela used Giga Drain! It's doing pitiful damage so eh.
Prince used Supersonic! It misses...
Tangela used Constrict! I'm really not comfortable with this...
Prince is Paralyzed! Allowing Tangela to get back to full health. Damn Ingrain!
Tangela used Constrict!
Prince used Supersonic! Let's see how much health you regain when you hit yourself in the face.

Leader Erika used a Full Restore! Really? Just to cure confusion when you were at full health? Dumb bitch, now I get a free turn to-
Prince is Paralyzed! Rafargle!

Tangela used Constrict!
Princed is Paralyzed! Fffffffff-
Tangela used Giga Drain! Why? You're at full health! And Constrict does more!
Prince used Leech Life! And now he's reeeeeally hungry for some whole grain pasta!
Tangela used Constrict! Seriously, I think she's just alternating between her two attacks now.
Prince used Supersonic! Hopes she wastes another Full Restore to heal it.
Tangela hit itself in confusion! Wh-what are all these tentacles?! Aaaah!
Prince used Leech Life! Tangela is at less than 1/2 HP.
Tangea hit itself in confusion! Oh my god the tentacles are everywhere! Make it stop!
Prince used Leech Life! Tangela is in the red now.

Bugsy used Paralyze Heal! Might as well, one more attack and I-
Leader Erika used a Hyper Potion! .......DAMN IT!

Prince used Leech Life! Back at full health again.
Tangela used Giga Drain! Ok, I think I'm cool now...
Prince used Leech Life!
Tangela used Constrict! Wait...these are [i]my [/i]tentacles!
Prince used Leech Life!
Tanglea used Giga Drain and snapped out of confusion! I think I got the full 5 turns of confusion there.
Prince used Confusion! Trying to do damage and confuse it at the same time. Oddly, Confusion might have done more damage than the Super Effective, STAB Leech Life.
Tangela used Contrict!
Prince sinks its two fangs into the writhing flesh of Tangela and used Leech Life! Draining the gooey sap brings Prince back to 100%

Tangela is knocked out!

Prince Leveled Up!
Prince is trying to learn Psybeam!
Hell yeah! Time to upgrade Confusion!

Erika sends out Vileplume!

Prince used Psybeam! Deals around 1/3, just the way I like it.
Vileplume used Stun Spore! And I had just gotten used to being faster, too.
Vileplume used Acid! It does...5 damage.
Prince used Psybeam! Down to just 1/4 HP.
Vileplume used Giga Drain! A hopeless attempt as..
Prince used Psybeam! Three beams of psychotic energy to the face!

Vileplume is knocked out!

Challenge Bugsy defeated Leader Erika!


Erika: Oh! I concede defeat. You are remarkably strong. I must confer on you the Rainbow Badge.

Bugsy got $2900 for winning!

Erika: The Rainbow Badge will make Pokemon up to Lv. 50 obey. It also allows Pokemon to use Strength in and out of battle.
Bugsy: Wow, I had no idea your badge carried that kind of weight.
Erika: Please also take this with you.

Bugsy received TM 19: Giga Drain!

Erika: Half the damage it inflicts is drained to heal your Pokemon. Wouldn't you agree that it's a wonderful move?
Bugsy: I....guess so. Maybe? Wasn't that wonderful for you in our battle. Goomba might make some good use of it thought.
Bugsy: Anyway, thanks for showing me your Pokemon. Especially your rare Tangela.
Erika: You are cataloging Pokemon? I must say I'm impressed.
Bugsy: Why thank you. I'm most focusing on Bugs but I still try to-
Erika: I would never collect Pokemon if they were unattractive.
Bugsy: ...This conversation is over.

[indent]Koga: Fwahahaha!
Bugsy: Your laughter suggests you are eeeeevil.
Koga: A mere child like you dares to challenge me?
Bugsy: What do you expect when you can get your Trainers License at 10-years-old?
Koga: The very idea makes me shiver with mirth!
Bugsy: Is that good or bad? Hang on, I have a dictionary...
Koga: Very well, I shall show you true terror as a ninja master.
Bugsy: If you were a master ninja, wouldn't I [i]not [/i]be able to see your feats of terror. Or something.
Koga: Poison brings steady doom. Sleep renders foes helpless.
Bugsy: Are you sure you aren't with Team Rocket? You sound really evil.
Koga: Despair to the creeping horror of Poison-type Pokemon!
Bugsy: Hey! Only Bugs do creeping around these parts!


[img]http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/3054/bugsyvskoga.png[/img]


Leader Koga sent out Koffing!
Bugsy sent out Goomba [Parasect] !

Goomba used Spore! Yesssss, inhale my spores...of DOOM!
Koffing is fast asleep!
Goomba used Slash! Time to give you a ninja scar.
Koffing woke up! [Lucky bastard] Koffing used Sludge! Well that's not too-
Goomba was poisoned! Again with the status conditions!
Goomba used Spore! Now you just sleep tight while I give myself the antidote.
Koffing is fast asleep! Don't you dare wake up next turn.
Bugsy used an Antidote! Goomba was cure of its poisoning.
Koffing is fast asleep! Much better.
Bugsy used a Super Potion! Goomba is at about 75% HP.
Koffing woke up! Koffing used Sludge! Fine, just don't-
Goomba was poisoned! Ok, so long as you don't-
Goomba fainted! DAMN IT!

Bugsy sent out Prince [Venonat] !

Prince used Psybeam! Let's see how you like laser beams...from my brain!
Koffing Fained! Yeah, I thought so.

Koga sent out Muk!

Prince used Supersonic! C'mon, do what Erika did...
Muk used Minimize! Wait, does that mean it's a Grimer now?
Prince used Psybeam! Despite being Super Effective, that did...nothing.
Muk snapped out of confusion! Muk used Acid Armor! Aaaand now I'm screwed on the Physical side, too.
Prince used Supersonic! Let's try that again.
Muk hurt itself in confusion! How does slime even hit itself?
Prince used Psybeam! Down to about 1/2 HP.
Muk used Acid Armor!
Prince used Psybeam! Down to about 1/4 HP.
Muk used Sludge! Fool! For I, too, am Poison!
Prince used Supersonic! If I go for Psybeam it won't kill and he'll just heal. Have to pray he doesn't hit him this turn, but he does next turn and knocks himself out. It's all very complex.
Muk hurt itself in confusion! Oh please don't have done enough to warrant -
Koga used a Hyper Potion! Ffffffffffff-
Prince used Psybeam! But now it's at 4/5 HP so whatever...
Prince used Psybeam!
Muk snapped out of confusion! Muk used Sludge! Can I just not get more than two turns of confusion?
Prince used Supersonic! I don't even know why I'm trying this anymore.
Muk used Sludge! Now I'm down to 1/3 HP.
Bugsy used Super Potion! Hey, if he's going to draw this out...
Muk hurt itself in confusion! And watch as next turn it snaps out of it.
Prince used Psybeam!
Muk snapped out of confusion! Muk used Minimize! See! I told you!
Prince used Psybeam but missed! Great, now it's the size of used chewing gum.
Muk used Sludge!
Prince used Psybeam but missed! Grrr...
Muk used Sludge! Critical Hit! The game has turn against me.
Prince used Psybeam! Leaving it with a sliver of HP.
Muk used Sludge! Critical Hit! Oh come on!
Prince fainted! That is just bull shit! I would have easily survived if it weren't for those two Crits!

Bugsy sent out Gladiator [Pinsir] !

Koga used Hyper Potion! I thought you only had one of those.
Pinsir used Seismic Toss! Which is why I thought that would kill you.
Bugsy used Revive! Prince was restored to health!
Muk used Toxic! Awwwww damn it.
Gladiator used Seismic Toss! At least it does set damage despite the typing match up.
Muk used Minimize! I hope you slip through a crack and give me the TKO.
Gladiator used Seismic Toss! Just one more, assuming he doesn't have a third Hyper Potion.
Muk used Minimize! How small can it get?
Gladiator used Seismic Toss but missed! Small enough that I can't pick it up apparently.
Muk used Sludge! Baaaaaah!
Gladiator used Seismic Toss! Time to go splat you annoying pest!
Muk fainted!

Koga sent out Koffing!
Bugsy sent out Prince!

Bugsy used Super Potion! Guess who's back at full health you Critting bastar
Koffing used Sludge!
Prince used Psybeam! And there goes 3/4 of you HP.
Koffing used Sludge! Critical Hit! OH COME ON!
Prince used Psybeam! Just get out of my face.
Koffig fainted!

Koga sent out Weezing!

Weezing used Sludge! Ruh roh, I guess being 5 levels higher than me makes you faster. And you're a Weezing so yipes.
Prince used Psybeam! Easy four-hit KO...if I can survive 4 turns.
Weezing used Sludge! Prince hangs on with 2 HP! Finally!
Prince used Psybeam! Perhaps this could be a 3-hit KO.
Bugsy used Hyper Potion! I only had one of those to use.
Weezing used Tackle! Conserving PP, I admire that.
Weezing used Sludge!
Prince used Psybeam! Yes, and that's the end of - ....What do you mean it's not over? I can't even see it's Health bar!
Weezing used Sludge! No more Crits for you meaning...
Prince used Psybeam!
WEEZING FAINTED!

Bugsy defeated Leader Koga!

Koga: Humph! You have proven your worth! Here! Take the Soul Badge!
Bugsy: For a ninja, you yell a lot.

Bugsy got $4300 dollars for winning.

Prince is trying to evolve! Oh no you don't, I have a plan for you.
Huh? Prince stopped evolving!

Koga: Now that you have the Soul Badge, the Defense of your Pokemon rises.
Bugsy: Exactly how does that -
Koga: It also lets you Surf outside of battle!
Bugsy: But I still want to know how -
Koga: Ah!
Bugsy: AH! o_o
Koga: Take this, too!

Bugsy received TM 06!

Koga: Sealed within that TM 06 lies Toxic!
Bugsy: Again with the random yelling.
Koga: It is a secret technique dating back some four hundred years.
Bugsy: Oooooh, sounds potent. I'm sure either Prince or Ace could make use of it.
Koga: When afflicted by Toxic, a Pokemon suffers more and more.
Bugsy: How so?
Koga: It suffers worsening damage as the battle wears on!
Bugsy: No wonder you have moves like Minimize to go along with it.
Koga: It will surely terrorize foes!
Bugsy: Seriously! You sound like Team Rocket with your laughing and terrorizing and poison and just...AAAAAH![/indent]

Poison's a great type for Kanto; good luck

And Conor, ouuuuch, that sucks. I've done that way too many times too, so eventually I just started saving everything in two files at once with savestates.

Shine lv 20 (now a Ivysaur)

I plan on adding a golbat (eventually Crobat), tentacruel, and gengar on my team.

So I'm gonna do something not said for this challenge, I'm gonna go on yellow and do an entire electric team... Already know my team too, Pikachu (of course), Electrode, Zapdos, Jolteon and probably HM slaves. Even if it's not allowed, I'm gonna do it for my own personal enjoyment then. Just got pikachu, battled Gary (rival) and leaving Pallet Town. Wish me luck.

Done. Beat the E4 a second time after killing Mewtwo... The second run i literally only used Zapdos... left everyone else in the pc, Used a hell of alot of full restores and used two max elixers and a max ether. My zapdos was a powerhouse but it had low pp.... meh, the challenge was fun, but i was surprised my Pikachu wasn't my strongest in the end.... its usally him or my charizard.
Final team:

Zapdos Lvl 67
-Thundershock
-Drill Peck
-Fly
-Thunder
