We head back into Violet City, plan in hand. Also Bellsprout.

Fuck off, PRZCUREBERRY.


The plan.

And remember that you can't change the nickname of traded Pokemon :evil:

Sure.

Bye!

Excellent!

A level 5 Onix named ROCKY holding a bitter berry. This guy will be key!

So we head back.

Oh no reality is breaking down

Damn straight it isn't, motherfucker

Traded Pokemon get boosted EXP gain. This allows ROCKY to go to level 6 from a single level 7 Pidgey!



See?
However, I find that level 5 is not enough. I am not ready for Falkner yet.

Let's go heal, and let's go train.

:!!!: :!!!: :!!!:

WHAT DO WE FIND IF NOT ANOTHER WEEDLE

Oh god, this is bad. Another tackle and it's going to die.


I try anyway.

I try again, and somehow I have no screenshots of me throwing like 5 balls at it but it breaking free all the time.

Likewise, I seem to have no screenshots of the Bellsprout that vine whipped Rocky to death.

Oh my god.

We get a better health to try with... and... and...

GENTLEMEN.


Like we here at The Daily POS doesn't already know everything about

!

Naturally.

We have a full team now, but we're not ready yet!

A short training montage later, ROCKY grows to level 9 and...
...doesn't learn Rock Throw.
Because I was looking at the Generation V moveset table.
Goddamnit, Kenny, why are you such an idiot.

I decide to fucking go for it anyway. A full team, with a rock-type and a level 12 Chikorita with Razor Leaf, what could go wrong?
(he says, knowing full well two grass-types and a bug-type, as well as two severely under-leveled normal types, are enough cause to worry)


"People say you can clip flying-type Pokemon's wings with a jolt of electricity... I won't allow such insults to bird Pokemon! I'll show you the real power of the magnificent bird Pokemon!"


I put ODDISH in front to just kind of smash the Pidgey, and save ROCKY's HP.


Not sure what I was worried about, it went down easily. And level!

I wasn't worried at this point.

There's a screenshot or two missing here. I really thought I had taken them. I switched in ROCKY. Pidgeotto started mudslapping me, which wasn't only super effective, but lowered accuracy. Got hits in. Switched in Oddish. Got smacked around. Switched in BIOSPARK to meatshield.

That went poorly.

Switched in SOAPRMAN just so I could throw a potion to ODDISH.

I'm sorry, Soap! It'll never happen again!


At this point, ROCKY's accuracy has been destroyed to the point where he's not worth using anymore. Razor Leaf might not be very effective, but it deals damage and seemed to have a high chance to hit even with lowered accuracy.

Some healing and praying later, I emerge victorious.

In retrospect, I should have done Sprout Tower instead of the gym to build levels. Oops!

"...Darn! My dad's cherished bird Pokemon... All right. Take this. It's the official POKEMON LEAGUE ZEPHYRBADGE."


get! Raises attack power, lets us use FLASH, etc.
We also get TM31!

Maybe something we can use!

I was planning on ending the update right after stepping outside the gym, but then I get a phonecall! And it's not that silly Joey this time!



Maybe I could...

...but maybe I could leave that to the next person! Good god I promise that my future parts will be much much much shorter. Sorry for this being so long.
