RE: KoN's PokeBeach Platinum Run--Chapter 5

And everyone thinks I'm crazy because of it!
I am crazy, but you being scum is completely unrelated to that!

TT is scum based on the logic that he is always on the scum team. Always.

I'm not sure why more people haven't caught onto this. It's quite entertaining, and I always get away with it because of the Gambler's Fallacy, which I completely circumvent anyway.
I see that you went back to like the other chapter. <3
I'm sure people will catch onto it eventually. I'd even be willing to bet you're scum in Seleno City.

@DNA, yes you are crazy. Now calm down before you hurt yourself.
 
Chapter 6

I feel like I should warn people that this chapter is short and mostly filler because I didn't have a lot of free time this week. Oh well, the next chapter will be longer for sure.
But! I said I'd do a chapter a week. Can't say I'm a liar.

Keeper's PokéBeach Platinum Run
Apparently, I need the Explorer Kit before I can move on. Ok, got it.
I knew that the Mount Coronet entrance was blocked from this side... So I didn't even got that way. Who needs random items?

*Keeper has entered #Route206.

Cycle, battle, cycle.
Cycle, battle, cycle.
...
...
Cycle...battle...cycle...

<Slugger> That was... Er... Fun, wern't it?
<Keeper> Not really, no.​

The underside of the route is much more fun, with caves made for exploring! Unfortunately, I didn't have Flash, so I couldn't go through the main part of Wayward Cave. However, the hidden entrance is not so dark inside.

...OK, so it wasn't so fun. By the time I reached the cave, I realized I had no pokeballs. Oops.

*Keeper walks all the way to Oreburgh and back, now equipped with 20 pokeballs.
*Keeper has entered #WaywardCaveB1F.

<Gible> 'Sup?
<Slugger> Get outta ma way yungin.
<Gible> And why should I?
<Slugger> 'Cause I'll be Water Pulsin' yer face otherwise.
<Keeper> Hold up Slug.
<Keeper> We actually need a Gible.
<Gible> :D
<Slugger> ...Do it have to be this one?
<Keeper> Yup. He's talking. Good enough for me.​

Welcome to the team, Megalodon the Gible! Now all I need is Lax Incense.
I went in and grabbed the items too, but there was nothing of immense value (Besides TM Earthquake). Then I healed my team in Oreburgh before heading towards Mt. Coronet.

*Keeper has entered #Route207.
800px-Sinnoh_Route_207_DP.png

I was sure this is where Dawn/Lucas gave me the VS. Seeker... Is that only in DP? Or later in the game? Meh. Anyway, I was just in front of the entrance when PMJ came running up.
Mis-predicting when plot happens? 2/2

<%PMJ> o/
<Keeper> PMJ! You're late.
<%PMJ> How's your pokédex coming along?
<Keeper> Better then yours I'd bet.
<%PMJ> Not in Gen 6.
<Keeper> ...
<%PMJ> Right now I'm somewhere between fantastic and... uh... hopeless.
<Keeper> Sounds about right.
<%PMJ> Anyway, I've got something for you. Pick a hand.
<Keeper> What will I do with a hand?
<%PMJ> ...
<Keeper> Fine. Ri...Left.
<%PMJ> I see, you want the VS. Seeker. You know what's important!
<Keeper> How do I "know whats important"?
<Keeper> It was a random guess!
<%PMJ> Fine. You an have the Dowsing Machine app too then.
<%PMJ> Bai.
*PMJ has left #Route207.

*Keeper has entered #Mt.Coronet.
(If you're expecting an image, do you have any idea how big that would be? Bigger then the route near Eterna, that's for sure.)

<TwistedTurtwig> ...According to one theory, Mt. Coronet is where the Sinnoh region begun.
<Keeper> I only JUST entered. You have to give me a lecture already?
<Twisted> ...In a newly created world... A world where only time flowed and space expanded...
<TwistedTurtwig> There should have been no strife. What became of that world?
<Keeper> You signed up for this WW game dude.
<TwistedTurtwig> ...I actually didn't.
<TwistedTurtwig> But, now that I've gotten the hang of this unnecessarily-complex role, I know what to do.
*TwistedTurtwig has left #Mt.Coronet.​

I wish more members were online at a time. Would be easier to tell who the scum were. What am I even saying?
After fighting a Bronzor, Nosepass, and a few Geodude, I reached the exit.

*Keeper has entered #Route208.
800px-Sinnoh_Route_208_DP.png

It's nothing special, with the first hiker you fight being some hobo looking for food. But it wasn't all bad, with a free Great Ball and Ether not too far out of the way. Big place too. Too bad I need Waterfall and Surf for parts of it.
I was getting close to Hearthome... But I think I'll put all of those events in their own chapter. Yes, this chapter was filler. Yay!

Er... Ok then.
Guess I know what I'm doing for the beginning of the next chapter. -_-

That being said, I will NOT be doing another chapter this week. As I'll be leaving for camp.
To try to balance this out, I plan on doing an extra chapter in the next two weeks.

Hypocrite.
 
RE: KoN's PokeBeach Platinum Run--Chapter 6

This was a top priority for me when I got home this week. But then I lost my computer cord, and then my internet went out, and then I couldn't find my game and... ugh.
Keeper's PokéBeach Platinum Run

*Keeper has entered #HearthomeCity.

<Buneary> Bun bun!
<Keeper> Away from me, vermin.
<Buneary> :(
*RaichuGirl has entered HearthomeCity.
<RaichuGirl> Oh, thank goodness you happened to be there!
<RaichuGirl> If it weren't for you, who knows how far that Buneary would have run.
<RaichuGirl> I'm RaichuGirl! A contest judge!
<RaichuGirl> Please ocme by the contest hall later!
*RaichuGirl has left #HearthomeCity.

<Keeper> Did you see that?
<Zui Quan> ???
<Keeper> A typo! Scum for sure.
<Zui Quan> So... It's a trap?
<Keeper> ...Better believe it.​

(It was in this instant that I relearned I am not playing FE:A. There is no fast forward, and there is no skip. -_-)
I took the opportunity to heal at the nearest Pokémon Center. No one had fainted on the way, but Megalodon and Slugger were both on their last limb. I decided to prolong the inevitable (because I can) and went up toward Amity Square. Me and Zui Quan had a field day, grabbing TM Attract, TM Secret Power, and a Big Scale before growing bored.

<Zui Quan> ...
<Keeper> What's wrong Zui?
<Zui Quan> Are we not going to explore both sides?
<Keeper> ...Both... Sides?​

...The right side of Amity Square supplied me with an Amulet Coin, Spooky Plate, and some berry from the worker there (Nommel?). I also learned that Zui Quan has an interesting ability that lets him sniff the grass when on a rocky cliff. Awesome.
My next stop was the Gym.


Trainerhan1> Hello there trainer!
<Keeper> Howdy.
<Trainerhan1> You being here tells me you're going to challenge the gym leader.
<Keeper> Yes... That would be the idea.
<Trainerhan1> Well... I hate to break it to you, but that's impossible.
<Keeper> ...
<Keeper> Listen here buddy.
<Keeper> This is my run. I'll tell you what's impossible.
<Trainerhan1> -_-'
<Trainerhan1> Come back another time, ok? I'll be waiting right here.
<Keeper> ...

*Keeper walks over to the contest hall.

*Keeper has entered #ContestHall.
<RaichuGirl> Oh, my hero!
<Keeper> It's a trap.
<Motherbot> Oh. Hi. Keeper.
<Keeper> Get away from me robot.
<RaichuGirl> Wait, really? The robot is your mom?
<Keeper> It would appear that-
<RaichuGirl> So you might be a contest star?
<Keeper> ...
*Keeper mashes A button.
<RaichuGirl> ...Here! Take this accessory!
<Keeper> What am I going to do with Glitter Powder?
<Keeper> Anyway, I'm just here looking for the gym leader. Seen him/her around?
<Motherbot> Were. You. Surprised. To. See. Me. Keeper?
*Keeper mashes A button.
*Motherbot has left #ContestHall.
<Keeper> Oh good, chat script can end now.
<Fletchling> Non non, it ez mai turn.
<Keeper> Get out.
<Fletchling> ;-;
<Fletchling> Mmm, let me see. You appear to be trés strong.
<Fletchling> Enfin, so it shall be! I wait for you at.
<Fletchling> THE GYM!
*Fletchling has left #ContestHall.
<Keeper> Oh Jesus, help us all.​

But, I vaguely remember promising sillykyle I'd meet him here. Guess I'd better look around for him. My exploits found myself and Utena in a dark enclosed area.

<Utena> Where are we?
<Keeper> I don't know.
<Utena> It's dark...
<Keeper> That I do know.
<Utena> Listen... Voices!
<Keeper> There's light, lets go!

<sillykyle> Welcome to the Normal Rank Pokémon Beauty Contest!
<Keeper> (Utena, I think we wandered on stage.)
<Utena> (Oops.)
<sillykyle> And it appears we have a last minute entry! Welcome Keeper!
<Keeper> But-We-I-Just-
<sillykyle> Now contestants! Dress your pokémon for the visual competition!​

I didn't see any way out of this, so we played along. I must say, Utena looked pretty good afterwards. We rocked the dance portion of the competition. Utena had perfect rhythm. Didn't do so well during the performance part, as Utena only knew two Beauty moves, and we predicted judges wrong. :(
Anyway, we did finish. Last, but we did finish. SK had disappeared after the completion, but meh. I saw him, didn't I? Promise kept.

At the gym:
<Trainerhan1> Oh, you're back!
<Keeper> ...Just give me the flashlight and nobody gets hurt.​

I never was very good at getting around this gym. At least, not without being spotted. Fortunately, Slugger could Water Pulse everything into oblivion (except for Stockpiling Drifloons *shudder*).
Fletch really didn't think things through very well here, and probably should have added a third or even fourth floor as obstacles. Two isn't quite enough.

<Fletchling> OHOHOHO!!
<Fletchling> Finally! Ze challenger haz arrived!
<Keeper> Such accent, much fake.
<Fletchling> ;-;
<Keeper> And lol @ dress.
<Fletchling> ;------;
<Fletchling> It. Is. On.

duskull.png

Rain Dance to start things off. Hopefully, I can stay alive long enough that it wont bother Zui Quan. I did kill the Duskull, but not without being burned and taking a Future Sight.

<Fletchling> Die die die.

Magical Leaf, ouch.

vs.

Utena was confused... But managed to get a Stun Spore in. Snapped out of confusion next turn and got a Growth in. Don't want to set up too much in case of Haunter/Gengar.
...And it knows Psybeam. Why did I not know that?

monferno.png
vs.
mismagius.png

It has a Sitrus Berry arghkodpfoierwgmk.
...Super Potion.

<Fletchling> Troll.jpg
<Keeper> Dat crit tho.
<Fletchling> :(

Outsped. -_-

vs.

Shadow Claw put Megalodon at just above half health. Sandstorm activated Sand Veil. Dodged a hit and used Dragon Rage. Twice. Nuff' Said.

<Fletchling> Evasion isn't allowed here.
<Keeper> Yes it is, gg.
<Fletchling> Hax.
*Keeper used Badge Take.
<Keeper> G. G.
<Fletchling> -_-
<Fletchling> Oh well, at least I killed half your team. Go release them now.
<Keeper> Nope.
<Fletchling> Yup.
<Keeper> Not a Nuzlocke.
<Keeper> If I had these same pokemon in a Nuzlocke, most would be fully evolved by now.
<Fletchling> But-
<Keeper> No buts. You had your screen time, bai.
*Keeper has left #Gym.

<Fletchling> ...Forever Alone.​

Chapter 8

Keeper's PokéBeach Platinum Run

On the outskirts of Hearthome, I wasn't allowed out toward the Mansion yet. Dumb reporters. On the other side of town, Gistica was waiting.

<Gistica> Ta-daah!
<Gistica> You kept me waiting again!
<Keeper> Don't you have anything better to do then stand around?
<Gistica> Not really.
<Gistica> Anyway, let's battle! Right here and now!
<Gistica> No whining! No waiting!
<Keeper> But I wasn't-

shellos-west.png
vs.
397.png

When Gistica started off with Double Team, I felt like I was about to be the victim of bad karma. Water Pulse knocked it to a little over half health. For some reason, Gistica decided to switch.

shellos-west.png
vs.
315.png

Oh, that's why. It pulls off a Leech Seed while I try my luck with Mud Bomb. Yeah... Not worth it. Switch

391.png
vs.
315.png

Flame Wheel for the KO.

<Gistica> Hax.
<Keeper> How...?
<Gistica> It just is.

I switch out for...

406.png
vs.
394.png

Ouch, it knows peck. Fortunately, Utena knew when to cut her losses and switched to Megalodon.

443.png
vs.
394.png

Growl to lower attack, Sandstorm to raise Evasion. Bubblebeam still hit though, and brought 'Don down to red. Unfortunately, he was KO'd by the following attack. No hax for me that go round.

391.png
vs.
394.png

Mach Punch. KO.

391.png
vs.
397.png

Rock Tomb brings it to red, and it proceeds to set up Double Team. Mach Punch hits and is a KO. Switching to Slugger for the final poke.

shellos-west.png
vs.
077.png

Such Water Pulse, much damage.

<Gistica> What just happened! I lost?
<Keeper> Dude.
<Keeper> Did you sleep through it or something?
<Gistica> It goes to show my surefire winning strategy doesn't work.
<Keeper> Oh, that whole evasion thing? So that's what the random Double Teams were about.
<Gistica> Yeah...
<Gistica> So! Turns out it doesn't work worth beans.
<Keeper> Worked for me at Fletch's gym.
<Gistica> -_-
<Gistica> See ya Keeper!
*Gistica runs.

*Keeper runs to Pokémon Center.

*Keeper has entered Route209.
800px-Sinnoh_Route_209_Pt.png

So I actually found a Chansey in the grass on my first encounter. Didn't need to catch it though, so Slugger destroyed it for the exp. In fact, Slugger was my MVP all the way up to Solaceon Town. With Megalodon being the runner up in double battles.

*Keeper has entered #SolaceonTown.
800px-Solaceon_Town_Pt.png


<Gistica> Yahoo!
<Keeper> Is that where you run off to? To check your e-mail?
<Gistica> Maybe.
<Gistica> I got something cool! I'll show you!
<Gistica> Oh, right. Didn't put the seals on...
<Gistica> It's because I was at the ruins! They're cool, you should go see.
<Gistica> I even found the HM Defog!
<Keeper> Do I get to respond in all thi-
<Gistica> Anyway, I'll battle you another time! See ya!
*Gistica has left #SolaceonTown.
<Keeper> ...Coward​

After a quick heal at the Solaceon Pokemon Center, I was ready to tackle the Lost Tower!
Slugger was so close to evolving I could taste it, so I put him up in front for just a little while longer (Megalodon was equipped with the Exp. Share for now, Zui Quan is next).
Inside, I fought through floor after floor of moaning and wailing visitors. ...Actually, most of them were insane and thought I was a ghost. That's much better.
Floor two was home to a youngster who liked to spam Protect with his Mothim. After a third Protect in a row, I was ready to murder. And the item he was guarding was... an Oval Stone. I tossed it out of spite.
I need to stop nuzlocking Gens 1 and 2, I'm not used to Levitating Gastly. Fortunately, most would Curse on turn one, giving Slugger a guaranteed KO with Water Pulse. Doubles battles were a tad bit annoying, as the ever-present fog made accuracy a pain for me, but never seemed to bother the opposition. :(
I got ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP. Just to find out you need Defog befor ethe old ladies will talk to you.
>insert rage here<​
I was convinced that this couldn't get any worse...
But, at least outside of the Lost Tower I found TM Steel Wing, Calcium, and Stardust.
I guess I should go get Defog now... Yeah, that sounds like a plan. Though I absolutely hate those ruins.
We all know about the Solaceon Ruins, yes? Well, fortunately I read Unown. I BET NOBODY ELSE CAN.
Top right, lower left, top right, top left, top left, lower left.
...
...
Hey, look. A trainer.
Battle.

423.png
<Slugger> Would ya look at dat?
<Slugger> Guess if somebody's gottado the hard pulling 'round here.
<Slugger> Might as well be me.
<Keeper> Well put Slugger.
<Zui Quan> But I evolved first...

I did make it the bottom room eventually. Grabbed myself a Nugget, HM Defog, Mind Plate, and an Odd Incense.

In that same room was the inscribed:
Friendship
<Utena> IS MAGIC!
<Keeper> -_-
All lives touch other lives to create something anew and alive.

Finally, with Defog in bag, I could climb up Lost Tower.
...As soon as I had a pokémon that could use the move.
After catching a Staravia, I withdrew it from the PC and climbed back up Lost Tower. The ladies at the top gave me a Cleanse Tag and the Spell Tag. Not bad, honestly.


<OldLady> Oh, the fog is gone! Here's for your help.
*Keeper got a Spell Tag
<OldLady> That Fletchling... It's hard to tell what he's thinking.
<OldLady> But he has a passionate heart. You know, he's a regular visitor.
<Keeper> Oooo...Kay? As long as I don't have to run into him again.
*Keeper runs back down the tower.
<Fletchling> SEE ZE FANTINA!
*Fletchling twirl.
<Keeper> Get out.
<Fletchling> Non!
<Keeper> Hmm...
<Keeper> A wild Fletchling appeared!
<Fletchling> I iz non Fletchling!
<Keeper> Go! Bomb!
<Fletchling> Iz me, Fantin- oh non!
<Fletchling> weeweeweewee~!
<Keeper> Boom.
*Fletchling explode.​

RE: KoN's PokeBeach Platinum Run--Chapter 8

Slugger evolved, yay! :D Fun chapter as always, KoN~~
 
RE: KoN's PokeBeach Platinum Run--Chapter 8

Having fun is the most important thing, of course. And I'm having a blast reading along, too. :)
 
RE: KoN's PokeBeach Platinum Run--Chapter 8

That's good to hear!

I think I'll have to do runs more often, for my personal amusement. Maybe a nuzlocke next...
 
RE: KoN's PokeBeach Platinum Run--Chapter 8

Personal amusement is most important, of course; do what you want and have fun! :D I think we'd be happy to read along if you shared your tales with us, too.
 
RE: KoN's PokeBeach Platinum Run--Chapter 8

Of course. If I decide to do another... thing... I'll be sure to write it up here in some way.
 
RE: KoN's PokeBeach Platinum Run--Chapter 8

Just caught up with the first 5 chapters x.x

/late

Definitely a great story and I hope I get to catch up with the other chapters tonight as well!
<Keeper> His name will be... superawesomedrunkenfightingmonkeyofdoomandperil.
<camoclone> ...Character limit.
<Keeper> Oh right. Let's go with Drohn's suggestion of Zui Quan then.

lolol Awesome. <3
I had to try to hurry, but running is physically impossible in the game without the Running Shoes.
Such pain we endured in past generations. :(

<%PMJ> And camo, you don't still think this is a WW game, do you?
<%PMJ> I explained this like, twenty times already.
<camoclone> Please give them their roles.
Your WW references are hilarious. :p

None of the workers in here were actually working, just relaxing and looking for battles. What a great use of time guys.
I was already wondering why the work was still in progress 3498793470242 after the games were released.

<Utena> I LOVE to eat!
<Keeper> ...Tempted to wonder if that's cannibalism or not.
...

...

/... Me will never again give his grass types a berry.


<Keeper> DNA isn't supposed to be in this run.
<Keeper> As payback for me not being in his.
<Keeper> #Revenge.
And then..

*DNA has entered #WindWorks.
>Confused.

Also glad to see Zui Quan is doing well! :D Don't forget to keep it as Monferno until it learns Slack Off, muwhaha. :p
 
RE: KoN's PokeBeach Platinum Run--Chapter 8

I was just messing with him. :p
That role is too trolly to not be DNA.

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten. I'll soon be getting to a grinding point where I can catch up on some levels. Utena should be evolving soon as well.
