DAY 12
Pre-Note: Thanks to Bippa and catutie for naming a Pokemon after me in their Nuzlockes. If you haven't looked at them, you should because they're great. Of course, they have to be great if I'm in them ;]
Alright, I hate grinding. You know what I hate more than grinding? Grinding in Heart Gold when nothing is your level. You know what I hare more than grinding in Heart Gold? Grinding in Heartgold when nothing is your level and half of your minuscule exp. is going to a Canadian Swinub.
That Swinub takes all of my experience away. I started training on the Route after Blackthorn, but besides Bropoke and Roja, nothing really fares well against Geodudes and Gravelers. I eventually migrate back to Ice Path, where I start to grind. For a long time. Eventually, Swin00b hits level 30 so to speed up his evolution I take him to train exp shareless against the Geodudes. I encounter one, use Icy Wind, and miss. It retaliates with a Self-Destruct and kills me.
Icjfidegbidfktgkyrcjusobaeiovdww.
No, Swin00b ;_;. You were going to be fantastic in the gym, but that 5% miss chance killed you. You drained so much exp and didn't even evolve :[.
I must carry on. I go back to Ice Path to grind a little bit. I train Pseudowood, Vampyre, and Animus to a decent level. I train Igneus next, get Lava Plume, and then EVOLVES.
<3<3<3
I've had Quilava since the 1st gym, Typhlosion is a really nice upgrade. I train Roja and Bropoke, teach Bropoke Shadow Ball, and head to the gym.
I'm really scared. This gym is scary. It's full of dragons with very few weaknesses. I step in and fight the first Ace Trainer. Roja one shots the Dratinis and Animus one shots Seadra. So far so good. I continue on, killing things with Roja and Animus. After several uninteresting battles, I'm at Clair. I go heal, and then I challenge her. Oh no.
"Clair: I am Clair"
Those were the first words out of her mouth. Intelligent.
"The world's best Dragon-type master"
I think Iris has you beat, Hon ;]
She continues bragging until the battle begins.
I open Animus to her Gyarados. It uses Dragon Rage to do 40 (duh) to me as I one-shot it with a Spec'd Thundershock. I switch to Roja for Dragonair. I use Ice Fang to do a little over half and it paralyzes me. Grrr. I use a full heal and it Dragon Pulses for about a quarter damage. Ice Fang again for the knockout. I stay in for the second Dragonair. Seriously, just reread and you'll learn how I took care of that one. Kingdra time. Oh noes.
I switch to Bropoke. He has the most HP, the most Special Defense, Yawn, and Shadow Ball. I yawn, it Dragon Pulses. It does a little less than half, but I heal in case of Hyper Beam. It uses Dragon Pulse and falls asleep. I shadow ball for a tiny amount of damage. I use it 3 more times and it wakes up and Dragon Pulses me. I heal and it Hydro Pumps, lol. I Yawn and heal. 2 Shadow Balls until she Full Restores.

I do 2 more Shadow Balls. It wakes up and Smokescreens me and I crit Shadow Ball it. She Full Restores again as I Yawn her.
>>>>:[
It Snokescreens, falls asleep and I switch to Vampyre. I Confuse Ray and then Wing Attack 2 times. It wakes up and misses Hydro Pump. I switch to Fly, I love being annoying :3. It snaps out and Hyper Beams me.. when I'm airborne. I Fly it, get Smokescreened, and I reconfuse it. It hurts itself and I Wing Attack for the KO.
I beat the 8th gym - and no one died. My team and I made it through every gym and we're still trucking it.
MVP: Roja
There are several people this could go to, but Roja did most of the gym and half of Clair.
If my planning is correct, next episode will be the last before the E4. Please comment if you're reading, you're the reason I'm doing this <3
