That salamence may not have the best moveset for them, but at least they can boost up their defense quite high with cosmic power and can't be statused easily due to heal bell.
Chapter 15: Never leave my side Spoiler Alright stocked up on enough repels to cross the Pacific Ocean, let's get to Mossdeep. Yeah I know I could get new Moemon here, but to be fair, I have a super solid team now, so there's no need for new folks. I'm happy with what I got. Welcome to the gym of confusing layouts! Dang Crawdaunt actually looks cool like that. Metagross counter: 5432 And this time he brought his fat lazy friend over too. I appreciate the effort but I really don't think that's how twins actually work. I'm gonna sweep the floor with you two! What an... unlikely combination. Don't worry though, my devastating dragon duo will end you! Okay they're actually pretty tough and stuff... Time for the B team Okay I'm in pretty deep trouble here... Sending out Nina was a mistake... I didn't know all the opposing Moemon had Surf, and now because of Nina's Drizzle, they do insane amounts of damage every single turn... And now with Whiscash on the field, I can't switch out either, because of the damn Shadow Tag... NIKEPHOROS NOOOOOOOOOOOOO DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT Alright, time to get serious It's been forever since I used Melania, but somehow she still manages to keep the highest level spot by far. At least now I have another chance at winning this. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT THE CRIT YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME NINA WHY NO PLEASE DAMN YOU Die you piece of shit... I hate you Yeah and I'll shatter your face next... Nike... You were amazing, really. Massive attack power, but you suffered from the glass cannon syndrome. You can't take hits very well, but why would you need to, Double Kick was almost always enough to finish off the opponent before they could even touch you... I'm sorry it has to end this way, Nike... Rest in peace Nikephoros the Hitmonchan Lv. 25 - Lv. 39 Killed by Tate&Liza's Whiscash Nina... I can't believe I lost you. You were more than just a powerful Moemon, you were amazingly useful in any battle. Aromatherapy helped us out so many times... And then rain bonus Surf, and STAB Sludge... You were beyond what any randomized Moemon could ever hope to be, a great help in any team. Of all Moemon I've lost so far, you're definitely right there, next to Artemis. I'll really miss you, Nina... Thank you. To be continued...
Uhhhh.... everliving Nidoqueen??? I know it's because Surf is an HM but that is touching. But damn, Hitmonchan got screwed.
I'm now watching this! You can do it astro! Your can't give up, for the sake of all you have lost and hope to gain! Fight on great doofus, fight on!
Awwww that is adorable that she came back, I didn't know the games had that text (or if it is just the moemon). In end, I hope you can find a way to get your team in peace before the next big fight!
Chapter 16: It takes some to gain some Spoiler Alright Nina I don't really know what to do with you because you kinda died but then you didn't so just stay there and don't move, kay? Alright second round for Visnu and Faunus is on the team too, let's get grinding. Don't mind me just casually surfin' on my Pichu. Oh great it's a Primeape! And it has Iron Tail! Which lowers my defense every time! It also has Shadow Tag so I can't switch! Welp! Damnit. So... Faunus has Bug type Hidden Power... Does that get STAB? Oh come on. Really now? ... oops. Rest in peace Vishnu the Pichu Lv. 27 - Lv. 29 Killed by Primeape's Iron Tail ... double oops. Rest in peace Faunus the Scyther Lv. 28 Killed by Lugia's Air Slash Alright that went less than fortunate let's see if I can get some new Moemon... YES I CAN USE THIS Blaziken 2cool4school NOOOOoooooo..... i dont want this sigh let's just get to the next water route daw look at the little tiny doofus im gonna catch you boiiii yay and since you're already level 33... Ayyyyy join the big guys Neat! well okay because you asked so nicely you can evolve too Not really scoring you any points with the judge based on appearance, but whatever. And with that, I have a pretty decent full team again! Only downside is that 4 of my Moemon are Flying, and 5 are weak to Ice, but whatever. It's a full team! To be continued...
Yay there we go, that is a good set up, could use a few more types but I mean a full power team is a good team!
A full team is always a good thing. Stay strong and show those mon not to mess with you. (also Metagross #3517653 wishes to tell you that she is coming for you)
Chapter 17: Tough fights Spoiler Alright, let's get to some random areas I haven't been to yet. This ought to be fun. The Abandoned Ship: the only area where I don't use the speed-up button, because the music there is just too good. (Conclusion, wasted a lot of time in an area where barely anything useful resided. Achieved practically nothing, save for a Water Stone, but what are the chances that I'll actually need that.) That must be an incredibly good item, to be guarded this well. Meh. I didn't get either because my bag is full... Now watch me catch a Clamperl next and regret all my life decisions. Alright now this looks promising, they even have trees surrounding the item! Oh look it's the TM I already have 95 times... I do like the ironic placement though. Obvious area card is obvious. Alright let's get to some gruntin'. Never mind, apparently I don't know anything about this game anymore. Alright found the right address, let's get this show on the road. More like "you're going to beat these idiots while I am also nearby not really being any useful at all" Oh shit, I hadn't actually realized they were the main guys... I might have made a huge mistake by not selecting my strongest Moemon... Nah, I'll be fine. Okay I take it back, maybe I won't be fine... Oh no, now they're going to attack me... SHIVALI NO! Damnit Dragonite... For crying out loud couldn't you just have Magikarp or something like that. LOOK AT THAT TEAM Nobody cares about your plans, get out. Well, Shivali, our time together may have been short, but I liked you nevertheless. You were pretty powerful, not gonna lie, managed to deal some great damage. It was my mistake for choosing you out to battle against the big guys, I should've been more careful... Rest in peace Shivali the Xatu Lv. 33 - Lv. 34 Killed by Maxie's Dragonite Guess I'll just go fishing for new guys in the middle of the sea then... GLORIOUS I don't even want you. Oh great, literally your only move has 50 accuracy. g r e a t . Alright let's try that one again. Ooh I could go for a Sandshrew, not bad! Cursed crits... I'll have to go for more extreme measures then. Oh yeah I went there. Sure, whatever, I'm alright with that. Oh for fucks sake. This is my last resort... Alright, whatever, I'm fine with this. Good. Good thing I got that Water Stone in the Abandoned Ship. I'm not a huge fan, but at least you're fully evolved. Best move 10/10 always use. To be continued...
I'm almost positive that I had never seen the move memento until I was doing one of my first randomlockes and the opponent memento-ed itself
Chapter 18: The final Union Worker Spoiler 'T was only a matter of time before you joined in too, wasn't it? Is this a water pun, or did they just want to specify that he's the boss right now? Good god I'm underleveled all of a sudden... Well actually, you lost to just one of my Moemon... Celeste is actually not useless at all, despite her pretty lackluster moveset. It's called rain. Tbh Groudon just looks like he's ready to hug it out, but Kyogre is not having any of that. Guys... Please stop... Please... Oh great a thing to catch... Woooooooooo This looks pretty fancy. Exploits, what are you talking about? It's not like I force little girls to fight for my sake, many of which die on the battlefield... Woop now we're here. You dense idiot. I mean alright I guess, I'll take it. Neato. Hey buuuddy... Why don't you just stay there so I can catch you, alright? It'll be fine, don't worry! Well screw you too then. This just looks ridiculous no matter what way you look at it. Enter everyone's favorite gym puzzle. Glad Mewtwo decided to show up too, party wouldn't have been the same without you. Shuckle used Transform That's one of the best things I've seen all day. Uh, yeah, definitely. (what is he talking about) IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN TUDUDU DUU TUDUDU DU DU Okay off to a bad start, this is bad, this is really bad Believe it or not but Pramoda was actually one of my higher leveled Moemon... Well now you're just torturing me with sad memories. Wait you've got two of them??? Also even Melania can't stand up against Nidoqueen... And Melania was the one who could take everything... This is bad indeed. Luckily, Celeste is the new ultimate tank. Will O Wisp + Cosmic Power, and I've got little to worry about. Sorry Juan but I've got maxed out Defense and Special Defense, not even a legendary can save you now. AND THUS, THE LAST OF THE UNION WORKERS HAS FALLEN!!! I may never have been too fond of you, but I can't deny that you were pretty neat. Unfortunately you had some bad luck, and now you're gone. Goodbye Pramoda, you were as useful as I could have wished from you. Rest in peace Pramoda the Electrode Lv. 30 - Lv. 38 Killed by Juan's Espeon To be continued...
Well those were some big gains and loses, so sad for so many little Pokémon, I hope the ones you have captured have something good in store
look on the bright side, juan could have ended you. It is sad that you lost another moemon but that's all the more reason to keep fighting!
Chapter 19: Losses Spoiler Well, guess it's time for the final stretch! I'm ready. Oh, my last wild encounter... Interesting. Well, it's worth a shot. Alright, cool. Oh I completely forgot he was here too. Hi Wally, get rekt. Ditto is too funny with that sprite. So far so good. Arguably the coolest looking Moemon around. Damnit... This Pinsir has Sand-Attack, Double Team, Swords Dance, and Bonemerang... What a troll set. You couldn't choose between Slowbro and Slowking so you just got them both? Well, I gave it a shot. Guess I should've been more careful. Rest in peace Jayanti the Swalot Lv. 37 Killed by Wally's Pinsir The facepalm is real. Well, at least it can't get any worse- ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? You're not really the safest bet in a nuzlocke, with that solid 1 HP... Still, I hoped you'd do at least something interesting. Rest in peace Vidya the Shedinja Lv. 40 Confusion suicide I was literally just starting to notice how crazy powerful you were. At first I wasn't too hyped about a Poliwrath, but after having you for a while, your power really started to shine. Thanks for being part of the team for a while, at least. Rest in peace Polyxene the Poliwrath Lv. 22 - Lv. 36 Killed by Donphan's Extrasensory Guess I'm force to use useless trash like this now... Oh boy. You're a Delibird, not sure what I was expecting. Rest in peace Ashtad the Delibird Lv. 36 Killed by Delcatty's Sacred Fire This is my last chance... I have no more boxed Moemon. I can't afford to lose anyone else. I'll just have to be extra careful and take no risks. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK Remember when I caught you? How I said you were a disappointment, and how I really wasn't happy with you? Well, I take it all back. You were amazing, sticking around from so early all the way until now, only to be killed by an unfair move. I really wanted to take you with me to the Elite Four, all the way to the hall of fame. Because that's where you really belong. Rest in peace Melania the Swellow Lv. 8 - Lv. 43 Killed by Aipom's Guillotine Now what... To be continued...
The Final Chapter: Part 1 of 2 Spoiler I just want that full team no matter what, if only there were more places where I could catch a thing... Got it! I never actually passed through Meteor Falls and caught something, so that's my last chance! In this patch of grass, I find my last chance of catching a Moemon... Great, I already know exactly how this is going to end. As I expected. At least I didn't come here for no reason. Well, so much for a full team. Guess I just have to grind myself to death... <20 years later> Alright, I'm as ready as I'll ever be. Finally got everyone up to level 50, that should be enough. Celeste has a nice Ghost and Ground type move (thank god for the move relearner, totally forgot about him until now). She also has an amazing stall technique, with Will-O-Wisp and Cosmic Power, which should be able to save me if I'm in trouble. Lamiroir has a sweet additional Flamethrower, very welcome as I didn't have any Fire type moves. Lamia got access to Shadow Ball and Iron Tail, not sure how useful they're going to be, but more coverage can't hurt. Grimhilt has some good moves too, but unfortunately her Special Attack far exceeds her Attack, so apart from Icy Wind, those moves aren't going to do too much damage. Oh and there's also Shri, but she's dumb. LET'S GO! Alright Sidney, I expect a good fight. Elite... Poor. No comment. Alright bringing out the big guns already. I don't care, I got that Shadow Punch on me. Hm, Togetic. Alright then. Mantine, don't mind if I 'bolt'cha. I seem to be rather well prepared after all. Guess I really overthought this. And, of course, the legendary of the team. You know what, that was actually pretty easy. I think I'm ready for this! Hi Phoebe, please meet my team of death and horror. (oops I got too into it and forgot to take a screenshot but she was leading with a Wobbuffet which I took out easily) I see you've brought your starter too. Hey give that back, she's mine! What, does every E4 member get a free Togetic as a symbol of friendship? Laaaaaaaame You know what that's the first Moemon that genuinely got me worried. You sure have, Phoebe, you sure have. Two down, three more to go. Let's hope for the best! To be continued...
