So with a unanimous 100% vote, Tympole shall be named Cochran!! (suggested by ShadowBaller000 ). I approve. Cochran is a great survivor. One of my favorites. So we walk towards the gym only for N to stop us right in front. He has 3 pokemon, but I wasn't worried. They were lower leveled than mine. Well one critical Rock Throw from his Timburr was enough to kill one of my precious survivors.
Ozzy(Panpour) sadly was voted off the island at level 15, becoming the first member of the death jury. I released him, snuffed his torch, and moved on.
We met Hawes, the museum director, and while battling the gym trainers, three things happened. 1st) Sue Hawk evolved into a Herdier
2nd) We learned about Tepig, Poffins, cars, and childrens books
3rd) I realized my party was vastly undertrained
So I went back to Pinwheel Forest Outer and ran around looking for Audino. After finding a bunch, Tyson evolved into Liepard. And because of my running, Cochran leveled up pretty substantially in the day care.
Prior to facing the gym, my party's levels were:
Boston Rob(Servine) Lv 20
Andrea(Patrat) Lv 17
Sue Hawk(Herdier) Lv 18
Tyson(Liepard) Lv 20
Cochran(Tympole) Lv 20
Malcolm(Woobat) Lv 18
We enter into the depths of the Nacrene Museum of Useless Artifacts(Hawes even told us that some of the stuff is only there to look cool---no historical value) to face off against the powerful Lenora. I give all my Pokémon Chesto Berries because her Watchog likes to use Hypnosis.
She starts off with: I choose:
Herdier 18 Malcolm 18
Malcolm uses Heart Stamp 6 times and Herdier flinches all 6 times! Lenora is required to use her super potion early, and Malcolm goes once more with a flinch. On the 8th time though, Herdier didn't flinch, and all it took was a single take down to take down Malcolm. 1 hit KO.
Malcolm(Woobat) goes down as a fighter, a martyr helping his tribe in challenges, but the enemies targeted him early. Good bye Malcolm. His torch has been snuffed, and has joined Ozzy on the death jury.
Herdier(1/2health) 18 vs Sue Hawk 18
I send out Sue Hawk to save the day, in which she does. It only takes a single take down to finish the jerk who ousted Malcolm. (she also levels up)
Watchog 20 vs Boston Rob 20
Boston Rob decides to take on the enemy team captain all on his lonesome. He starts it off with a Leech Seed, while Watchog starts with Hypnosis. They both miss. Round two. Both hit. But, with a Chesto Berry, Boston Rob is cured, and Watchog remained seeded (hehe). After two Leaf Tornadoes, both Pokémon are in the red, so I return Boston Rob
Watchog(5%health) Lv 20 Sue Hawk Lv 19
Sue Hawk literally sits there while leech seed finishes off Watchog. And the day is saved, thanks to.. the Sue Hawk!
We gain the Basic Badge, and the TM for Retaliate, and then suddenly Hawes comes running in(how perfect that he waited till the end of the fight...I say sarcastically) with urgent news....
My party:
Boston Rob(Servine) Lv 20
Sue Hawk(Herdier) Lv 20
Cochran(Tympole) Lv 20
Tyson(Liepard) Lv 20
Andrea(Patrat) Lv 17
In Nacrene City, we heal up then instantly head off west to catch a new Pokémon. Hopefully, I can get a fighting type to help with this upcoming gym...
We're in Pinwheel Forest(outer), and we encounter a Pokémon! It's...It's....a Tympole. Awesome. Another water pokemon. Well, we catch this level 14 Tympole, and its gonna be up to yall on what to name it!! Give me a good reason, and if I like it, I'll go with it. We do some training in the outer sections of the forest, then head to the Inner Section of Pinwheel Forest. Its blocked by Team Plasma!!! I smell something fishy here...(or is it just Tympole?)
And after defeating a wild Audino, Boston Rob evolved into Servine!!!
We head over to the Day Care to check on Tyson, and he's level 15! He's right on par with the others! So I bring him into the party, and drop off Malcolm, because I don't feel like training him, and a gym battle is upcoming.
Current party:
Boston Rob(Servine) Lv 17
Andrea(Patrat) Lv 14
Sue Hawk(Lillipup) Lv 15
Tyson(Purrloin) Lv 15
Ozzy(Panpour) Lv 15
Tympole Lv 14
Give me a name for Tympole please!!! Include a reason and it could be chosen!
On Route 3, we stop by the day care and drop off Tyson(I'm probably not gonna use him anyways, but if something dies, it helps to have a backup). We then beat up on a bunch of toddlers, heal up, then go farther down the route. Bianca stops Cheren and myself and tells us to save this little girl's Pokémon from Team Plasma. We do. Easy.
While in Wellspring cave, after we defeat the goons, I try to catch my Pokémon for the area. We encounter: Lv 10 Woobat(male). Hooray.
Well, we catch it, and name it Malcolm, because apparently, all the women think Malcolm is the most attractive guy in Survivor History. Even Jeff Probst does. Heck, even I do.
We then get a lesson on dark grass from Cheren on Route 3, and encounter a Lv 11 Lillipup(female)!!! I was so excited for this. It only makes sense to name the Survivor who was the biggest witch with a B as the female dog. This was a hard decision. I even asked my friends for help. I was stuck between Parvati, AbiMaria, or Sue Hawk, but in the end I chose...
Sue Hawk! Mainly because of her snake/rat speech (if you haven't seen season 1, its great).
We battle some more trainers on this route, level up some more, then finally make it to Nacrene City.
Current Party:
Boston Rob(Snivy) Lv 14
Andrea(Patrat) Lv 13
Malcolm(Woobat) Lv 10
Sue Hawk(Lillipup) Lv 12
Ozzy(Panpour) Lv 14
It's finally time to face off against Chili himself in the Striaton Gym! But first, we battle his employees(waiter and waitress). Then, we heal up and go.
First he sends out: I send out:
Lillipup Lv 12 vs Boston Rob Lv 11
Lillipup stands no chance against Boston Rob as he crushes him, finishing him with a vine whip.
Then, he sends out his last Pokémon: I send out:
Pansear Lv 14 vs Andrea Lv 8
I basically do this to stall time. Andrea does about a quarter of his health until she's critical, so I return her.
Pansear Lv 14 vs Panpour Lv 10
All it takes are two water guns, and Chili has been eaten! (Bad pun, I know).
With one Gym Badge under our belt, and the ability to use cut, we leave the gym. A lady stops us, tells us to go to the Dreamyard to get her Dream Mist, and she gives us Cut. I teach it to Tyson, and we go to the Dreamyard.
Bianca meets up with us there, and we catch two Plasma Goons torturing a poor Muuna for its mist. We defeat them in battle, then some acid trip thing happens, and Ghetsis appears, three times...and they run away. Well we got our Dream Mist, and in exchange, we get a C-Gear. Woo. Time to head off to Route 3 and Wellspring Cave!
We enter Route 2 only for Mom to stop us to give me Running Shoes(Finally). On a side note, why are all the hero's mom's always single moms?(except Hoenn). And also we never have siblings. Only a mom, a professor, and a friend or two.
Well we zip into the tall grass to encounter a Purrloin. I was really hoping it would be female, because it would make a great Parvati, but alas, it was male. We easily catch it and name it...
Tyson!!!
We battle some trainers, Andrea almost dies, but eventually, we make it to Striaton City. We check out the Trainer's School, learn nothing, but whoop Cheren, gain exp, then move on. We're told to check out the Dreamyard, so we do exactly what we're told, because it's not like we have free will in this game. We do everything in the perfect order.
We battle more trainers, and are given a new Pokémon: Panpour!
We name it after the Survivor who is most known for climbing trees like a monkey:
Ozzy!
Current party:
Boston Rob(Snivy) Lv 11
Andrea(Patrat) Lv 8
Tyson(Purrloin) Lv 4
Ozzy(Panpour) Lv 10
So I start my adventure anew...in the land of Unova. A strange lady comes in my house, drops off a briefcase and leaves. Next, my friends(honestly, I probably wouldn't be friends with Bianca) come over and we pick our starting Pokémon. I pick........
SNIVY!!!(male)
And I name it after a Survivor who, just like Snivy, is authoritative, and in charge. And my starter has to be cool, so......
Snivy's name is... Boston Rob!!!
Along with Boston Rob, we travel up to route 1 where we encounter a lv 2 Patrat. We easily catch her, and name her... Andrea(Redemption Island and Caramoan).
Only because she backstabbed Brenda, so that makes her a rat. (And Wigglesworth wouldn't fit---after sue hawk's rat/snake speech)
We then venture into Accumula Town, where we get a tour of the Pokémon Center (-.-), and hear a creepy man give a speech about releasing Pokémon(Oh haaaaiiillll nah!), then battle a weird kid named N. We crush him, then head off towards Route 2.
