So last time on Tim's PokeAdventure :3

Where did I last leave off? *looks up* RIGHT!
After beating the Elite Four I set my sights on Kanto, a little confused (being that I haven't been there since Silver version 2003) I was hell bent on reaching Celedon before anything else (for Evo-Stones). Much to my dismay, after dodging trainers and running from POKeMON encounters I noted that the Department Store had no stones...
I did do some research and discover that Bill Grand-Papa gave at stones after you flashed some requested POKeMON. I had a majority of his wish list but I was unforchenatly unaware that you had to do them in his order. (I was missing LICKITOUNG) so that stone journey was a bust even after going through the 5 Trainers of Annoyance.
Fast Forward, When I started with the Kanto Leaders I procastinated a lot. Beating 1 Gym every week or so.
I wanted to finish some tasks in my home region. So I played around there, getting some more Eevee-lutions (now only down to ESPEON) and trying to catch that damndable RAIKOU.
I was busy training UMBREON and DRATINI and trying to figure out the maze that is EV Training, until I put them both away and restored my old team. (See signature) In order this is how I took out each individual Gym Leader
Surge: Easy, until he pulled out his last POKeMON, ELECTROBUZZ, it's speed and power proved to be quite annoying.
Brock: Simple, simple, simple; as always.
Janine: Easy, peezy, lemon squeezy. KADABRA with it's dominance over Poison-types and TYPHLOSION being a god above Bugs, easily swept her under the rug.
Erika: (Because I couldn't for the life of me find Misty.) Much like Janine, PIDGEOT and TYPHLOSION proved to be more then a match.
Misty: Finally I caught her at the right time and drove her back to her Gym. However I didn't battle her immediately as I was busy tickling Grandpa Bill's fancy with my POKeMON showcase. (I was waiting until late evening to catch an ODDISH.) However, VICTREEBELL killed her, as he should.
Sabrina: Not to hard, most of her psychic-types had a low defense and were quick work for POLIWRAITH.
Blaine: After finding the SOB; was easy work for POLIWRAITH as well, albeit GRAVELER did play an important role.
Gary/Blue: Tough; but I didn't lose the first time. I beat with a combined effort of my entire team. Save TYPHLOSION.
So with that all done. I returned to Oak received Rock Climb and went about my business in the world of POKeMON.
I then proceeded to Bell Tower with earlier aqcuired Rainbow Wing and caught HO-OH with an ULTRA BALL and placed him in a box. Took two tries. The first try I unintentionally pressed "Run" and ran. Lol.
But as everyone SHOULD know, not every story ends happily. The egg I had been carrying, taking the six-spot of my team, never turned out to be a MUNCHLAX... :(
I gravely underestimated Ash/Red and fell flat before his mighty PIKACHU. I know, I know... it's sad... (in a HAHA YOU SUCK KIND OF WAY, not a Oh I feel sorry for you way.)
During the battle I quickly realized that Sacred Ash was indeed, NOT an item you can use in the midst of battle.
Last night, after losing to Red, I returned to Johto and spent my collected 300,000P and bought a thick surplus of POKeBALLS (ULTRA, QUICK, DUSK and NET), POTIONS (HYPER), REVIVES and FULL HEALS.
Notes:
- During my Kanto Gym run through I had a SNORLAX Egg (Unbeknownst to me) taking my six spot. So between the 8 gyms I was switching VICTREEBELL and POLIWRATH in and out between each other.
- After a collective 90 hours of gameplay I have 135 different species POKeMON caught, evolved and hatched. All the Gen 1 EEVEE-Lutions and both birds (LUGIA and HO-OH). All while still owning my MASTER BALL.
- If you read this entire thing, good for you... Lol.
