After some really tedious grinding, let’s go fight some birds! Then, to Lilycove!

The current team:

Lovely nice numbers, haha. 36, 35, 34, 33! Also, yes, Sage has not yet evolved. I want them to learn Earth Power at level 37 before they do, otherwise I have to wait until level 40.

Highest-levelled Pokemon at the gym is level 35. Honestly Oleracea should probably hit that INSIDE the gym. And on we go!

Bird Keeper Jared leads with Swellow, level 30. Discharge OHKO! Good start, haha. Next is Skarmory, level 30. Let’s give that to Chickweed, actually, save that PP! It’s not a OHKO but only because of Sturdy XD

Picknicker Kylee has a Swablu, level 31. Another easy OHKO!

Camper Terrell leads with Doduo, level 28. Next, Pelipper, level 30. Easy pair of OHKOs!

Bird Keeper Will has a Dodrio, level 32. More OHKO!

Bird Keeper Bran has Pelipper, level 32. Et cetera.

So that’s OHKO for every Pokemon in the gym before Winona except the Skarmory with Sturdy XD Time for the actual gym battle! She leads with Swellow, level 33. It uses Quick Attack, Oleracea OHKOs it. Next is Altaria, level 35. Oooh right part Dragon - ACK Earthquake, down to the reds! Alright, Snowdrop is in! Yeah, that Earthquake didn’t do much. Ice Fang does it! Next up is Skarmory, level 33, let’s make this a real team thing and get in Chickweed! OHKO, no Sturdy here! Last is a level 33 Pelipper, and Oleracea can finish things off with a Discharge OHKO!

Nice nice :D And now Sage evolves, and I can replace Sky Drop with Fly!

ONWARDS.

I see you there, Ninja kid! You don’t scare me, I have a fully-evolved Psychic/Ground-type now! Ninja Boy Tsunao leads with Koffing, level 29. CHECK OUT MY LEVEL 37 CLAYDOL... or not because it self-destructed XD Another Koffing, level 30, and this one gets to eat Extrasensory! Finally, a level 31, and the same!

That was so satisfying.

Parasol Lady Angelica has a Castform, level 34! And it’s raining, so Discharge will work extra nicely ;D

Ace Trainer Jennifer has a Milotic! <3 Level 36, ooh, we’re actually getting HIGHER than Oleracea. She takes it out, then gets a nice heal-up.

Bug Maniac Brandon has a Masquerain, level 34. Discharge OHKO!

*weeps gently at every Absol call*

Oh my gosh found a Light Ball. Too bad my Pikachu is fucking dead.

Street Thug Gomez has a Cacturne, level 34. Yeah, Chickweed’s!

Ninja Boy Keigo leads with Ninjask, level 32. Chickweed again! Next is Koffing, level 30, and that’s Sage!

Ruin Maniac Chip leads with a Baltoy! I have a Claydol :D Snowdrop is only ten levels higher no biggie. Next is Nosepass, also level 32, and this is Edel’s! Whoa it has Discharge. No harm done, Edel is pretty sturdy. No pun intended.

Delinquent Sharlene has a Sharpedo, level 34. A satisfying Discharge OHKO!

Ranger Carlos has a Nuzleaf, level 33. Oh hey, wasn’t a Nuzleaf the origin of the word ‘Nuzlocke’? Either way, let’s try out Edel’s Sky. And it’s a OHKO! Next is Manectric! I have one of those. Time for Sage to show off their new Earth Power! And another OHKO!

My physical fitness is rubbish, thanks, Ranger Jenna XD;; She leads with Lombre, level 33. Discharge down to the yellows, Water Sport does... fuck all, another to finish it off. Next is Grumpig, level 33, and this one is all Snowdrop’s!

On to route 121!

Hex Maniac Tammy leads with Duskull, level 33. That’s Snowdrop’s! Next is Sableye, tricky. Only thing that’s SE is Fairy, but my only Fairy move is on my Psychic-type. Which. Yeah. I might keep Snowdrop in, because at least she’s strong and has other moves. Yeah, Ice Fang does about half damage. Shadow Claw from Sableye doesn’t do much at all, and another Ice Fang finishes it!

Beauty Jessica leads with Kecleon, level 32. Please beat it up, Chickweed XD;; While Mega Evolved, because hell yeah. Next is Seviper, level 34. All Sage’s!

GASP. AQUAS. They’re heading to Mount Pyre. Oh, and here’s Safari Zone! Maybe later.

Teammates Kate and Joy have a Slaking and Spinda, levels 35 and 34. I’ll get Chickweed in, and sic Snowdrop on the Spinda. Oof, Psybeam to Chickweed, you little shit. He kicks Slaking down, and Snowdrop finishes off the Spinda. Holy shit YES Snowdrop you can learn Crunch :D

Poke Fan Vanessa has a Pikachu! Sob. Level 35. Let’s get Sage in! Easy OHKO.

And my first route encounter is... a Shuppet! Hey, that works! She shall be named... Uniflora, as in Ghost Pipe.

Oh, Lilycove! Well, I’ll heal up, then head for Mount Pyre!

Back to route 121. Gentleman Walter has a Manectric, level 35. Here’s mine! Or, well, not, here’s Sage XD

Haha, there was a healer right near the entrance to Mt Pyre. Of course there was.

Okay lmfao looks like I’ve caught everything thus far available on route 122, so no catches here!

In to Mt Pyre! I already have a Shuppet, so let’s see what else is here...

Oh, Poke Maniac Mark and his Lairon, level 36 XD Double Kick from Chickweed handles it!

Ooh, a cleanse tag.

You know, Atsuko probably buries Daisy here :(

Duskull! That’s my catch, then. Monotropa, then? The genus name of Ghost Pipe!

Psychic William leads with a Staryu, level 35. Discharge takes it down! Next is Grumpig, level 35. That’s Snowdrop’s! Cronch.

Last for this level is Hex Maniac Valerie, and Sableye, level 36. Uuugh damn Sableye. Volt Switch does a fair bit of damage, switching to Snowdrop to finish it!

Black Belt Atsushi has a Machoke, level 37. Over to Sage!

“When I told everyone I can talk to Pokemon, they became concerned for me...” Interesting words from Fairy Tale Girl Momo! She has a Jigglypuff, level 35. All yours, Edel!

Young Couple Dez and Luke have a Manectric and a Delcatty, levels 36. First step, get some better fighters in, haha. Chickweed and Sage can take these two! Oh FUCKING Sing... Sage Earth Powers the Manectric, and once Chickweed wakes up, he... immediately gets hit by Attract from the Delcatty are you fucking. Ayyy he got the hit out anyway! Nice.

Man I’m just gonna skip the trainers on this level.

:D Shadow Ball and Medichamite! Nice.

Ooh, there’s Medicham in the outdoors areas. Well, that explains the Medichamite XD AND VULPIX. DARLING. Oh my goodness.

And we’re at the top. I see... at least three grunts on the path up, and Archie and Matt at the top. BATTLE TIME.

First grunt has a level 36 Grimer. Sage wrecks it.

Next grunt, leads with Carvanha, level 33. Discharge OHKO! Next is Mightyena, level 35, and that’s Chickweed’s!

Last grunt, leads with Mightyena, level 34. Over to Chickweed! Huh, I wonder if Blazikenite counts as an item for the purpose of Embargo? ...nope. No kill like overkill :’) Next is Golbat, level 34, back to Oleracea for a Discharge OHKO!

Nice.

Archie is heading for Slateport, and I have a fight with Matt! He only has his level 38 Sharpedo, and I have a level 41 Manectric ;D

Red Orb acquired. With my handy dandy Fly, we’re off to Slateport!

“We’re taking your submarine!” “Oh dear where did that voice come from?!” Check your submarine?

Aaand no more submarine. Oops. Will dash back to Lilycove as soon as I take care of these boring ol’ grunts! First one has a Mightyena, level 36, that’s Chickweed’s.

Next grunt leads with Carvanha, level 34. Oleracea takes it out! Next is Golbat, level 34. Fuck it, Oleracea can take this one, too!

Nice, a free trip to Lilycove. A brief explore of the town - apparently an Aqua grunt has 101 Skitty at their parents’ place, and a lovey-dovey couple roleplay as... Lisia and her Altaria... as one does.

Here seems to be a good place to stop!
