Apply level 20 bees to Misty and grind up those worthless layabouts.

[Darvi]

GUYS WE NEED TO BEE MISTY

[birdy51]

We will show here just what are the real bee's knees are.

[highmax28]

Wow, first time puns start over something I suggest

EDIT:
(because it posted automatically for some reason)
I'm doing a nuzlocke of red right now, and I know I sound like a madman to those who aren't familiar with it, but a raticate can decimate almost anything with a hyper fang from its higher attack and awesome speed. Zubat will be fun later on when we take on Erika

[GlyphGryph]

Okay, before I hit the gym, I should probably get my mons ready. Also, there are two routes north of town I might want to try hitting first.

There are a bunch of trainers on the bridge north of town - none of them dangerous. I fight past them pretty easily, and earn myself a "nugget" from someone who turns out to be a recruiter for team rocket. He insists I join, but I turn him down on the grounds that every Rocket I've met is a loser, and besides, I have league ambitions, I'm not gonna break no laws. He gets mad, and responds by challenging me to a short-lived battle that ends with him on his knees, weeping.

GHIK levels up to lv17

This is it. The Grass. Route 24... here we go!

Wiii uhhh!
Okay, not exactly what I was hoping for.
*throws pokeball*
*level 7 Caterpie caught, named EPU*

Let's try route 25 then. Come on, pappa needs a new halfway-decent battle beast...

Coo!
No no no! As cool as my current bird is, I really don't need another!
Well... hmm. Maybe that girl I ran into before, Caprese, might want it. Worth a try anyway.
Well, I don't want to waste too many pokeballs on it - NOVLAIKE, come back! Go FULJON, you're about the same level.
*Gust*
Okay, still plenty of health left. Confuse the bird!
Krriii! *confuse ray misses*
*quick attack*
NO! AW HELL NO!
X_X
Fuljon... I'm so sorry... NOVLAIKE, go! Argh, you murdering sky rat - I'm gonna catch you, but you are going RIGHT in the goddamn box!
*caught pidgey named BAHH*

Crap... Fuljon. I'm sorry. I was so cocky, so arrogant. Argh. What was I thinking. You shouldn't have died for me. It should have happend this way.



*yelling* I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU! NO, REALLY!*

Alas, poor zubat.

[GlyphGryph]

...

Its time to move on. Okay, Dio, with Fuljon's passing, I've come to realize that I really need to work on leveling you up, or you run a real risk of dying if I ever need to use you. You already look pretty fragile. Fish... thing... magikarp, I should probably level you up as well.

First, though, I go and grab my new bug out of the computer. Then it's off to beating up stuff in the grass. The worst part is that I learn a lv13 Pidgey could totally have survived a tackle from NOVLAIKE, or even a water gun - Fuljon's sacrifice was for nothing. Still, Dio gains a bit of experience, though I spend a lot of time playing it safe by switching in other pokemon until...

Row-row-row-FERRR! *Spearow has evolved into Fearow!*

Nice! Meanwhile, GHIK busts out a brand new move - Twineedle - and Dio learns Hyper Fang.

Some creep in a cottage with some creepy machines gives me an S.S. Ticket he claims not to what. Says he gave the other to the girl who came by earlier and helped him out, but he had a +1 ticket he didn't need as well. He also kept trying to insist I look at his pokemon, but I'm pretty sure it was some sort of innuendo, so I kindly turned him down and fled the building.

I spend a bit more time trawling the grass, and EPU evolves into a Metapod, which is just... fantastic. Sure, we'll call it that.

Is it time to finally go to the gym yet? Who should I bring?

I don't think rattata learns hyper fang at level 7... Else thats one godly pokemon early game...

Have Dio become awesome and level up to 20 and achieve status as a raticate and demi-god of normal types! Then we show misty why she hates bugs

Be extra careful with dio if I'm reading the level right.

[GlyphGryph]

Whoopsie, that was a mistake. Forgot to update his level from the last post - it should be correct now!

[joemoben]

Rattata is the path to greatness. I had one that carried me through all of Gen I, securing its place as my favorite pokemon. Let Dio become as powerful as his namesake of rock is.

Can someone do a photoshop of Ronnie with a rattata's head? That would be epic...

[GiglameshDespair]

I was kinda thinking you'd level up the magikarp. Kinda useless left at level 5.

[highmax28]

I agree, Gyrados will serve us well during the later battles like Sabrina, Koga, Blaine and pretty much anything after. I know we give up one guy for the gyms, but Gyrados should be a supporter, not a solo; surge can walk in and obliterate you as can hikers with rock throw or the like. Despite having an unnatural attack, Gyrados lacks in the defense department once he is no longer magikalkrap, and his special defense is even worse so. So for now, train the magikarp enough to learn tackle with Dio supporting him, and we'll be golden!

[GlyphGryph]

I guess I should work on leveling up this stupid fish...

But I don't want to. It's a fish! It doesn't know any attacks! It sounds... really boring. Also, EPU is evolving!

[butterfree] Friii friii!

More importantly, Dio is up to lv18 and I'm bored. We've got to Bee Misty! Let's go!

Two pokemon - a lv20 Beedrill, and a lv18 Rattata. Is this really enough to beat a Gym Leader? I start having second thoughts. Q or Novlaike would make for a much better backup - since they are likely to be water types, I should probably switch Dio out for Novlaike.

But that would be admitting GHIK is going to fall... and that's not going to happen. I mean, come on - water pokemon! It's not like they'll know anything super effective against a poison bug.

There's two trainers who want to fight me first - the first one's horsea and cloyster go down so quick I barely even register what they were, but the second's Goldeen gives me pause. It's lv19, and doesn't it know peck? Crap. I switch in Dio... who immediately gets knocked down below half life by a horn attack. Crap crap crap. I see GHIK back out, and no peck comes - a few tail whips, and then the fish is dead.

Okay, definitely spooked at this point. I withdraw Novlaike as my backup, and put Dio back in the PC. Maybe next time, buddy. Then I head north into the grass for one last quick wild pokemon battle... and Ghik reaches lv21. Okay, I feel a lot more ready now.

Misty, here I come!

Hi, you're a new face!*
Hi, Misty. I'm XU, a wandering League Trainer.
Only those trainers who have a policy about Pokemon can turn pro.*
... policy?
What is your approach when you catch and train pokemon?*
Uh... follow the rules, so first on the route, and try to not let them die?
My policy is an all-out offensive with water-type POKeMON!
Go, Staryu!
Come on, GHIK!
Bzzzz! *twineedle down to 10%*
*hardens*
Actually, this one's only 18 - GHIK, before you finish it, focus your energy for the next fight!
*focuses energy*
Staryu, baby! *uses super potion to fully heal Staryu*
*twineedles down to half health, poisons*
*harden*
Is these another one of those stupid pokemon that don't know any attacks!?
She's just shy! You shut up!
She won't be for much longer! Open her up, GHIK!
Bzzz! *twineedle*
X_X
Oh no, Staryu! Starmie, avenge your little sister, go!
...
GHIK! Hit 'em hard!
*water pulse for 19 damage*
Bzzz! *twineedle, critical hit x 2*
X_X
HAHA! Hey, Misty - I guess your... all washed up!
Wow! You're too much!*
*pulls out a knife*
Hey now!
*cuts some pieces off a still live Starmie she pulls out of the pool*
What the...
Pieces of these pokemon will grow into new pokemon - how do you think I have enough to fight every trainer that comes by?
Huh... never thought of it. Anyway...
Oh yeah, here's your badge. Have this TM too. Apparently you're approach is a brutal bug barrage! Impressive. You're also
Well... for this battle anyway! Seeya Misty!

As I leave the Gym, Caprese is waiting for me.

I knew you could do it, kiddo!
Oh, hey Caprese. Interested in trading again? I do have a pidgey I hate I was hoping to get rid of of.
Nah, not this time. You're actually lagging behind - I'd be long gone if not for an offer I got. There's a guy in the pokecenter looking for wandering league trainers and I... actually, just come with me, talk to him yourself.
Uh... ok.
Hello, XU! It's good to meet you. I am Seth, and I've come from some place far away. I struck it rich over there, and now I've decided to travel the world sharing my riches with other dedicated trainers. I know you two are both trying for the Pokemon League here in Kanto, and I'm prepared to offer you both an opportunity for an extremely rare and valuable pokemon.
Really? Awesome!
Isn't it, though? But he said I'd have to wait for you to get the Cascade Badge first.
It's true. You see, no gift comes without a price - I'd like to see what you've got. The opportunity to witness a battle between two up and coming trainers, that's all I ask. The rules will be a simple - a limit of two pokemon. You can pick whichever pokemon you want. Win or lose, you'll receive my gift. What do you say - interested?
Give me a minute to think about it - I need to get GHIK here entered into the hall of fame anyway.
That's fine, but I won't be here much longer - decide soon!

What should I do? Should I agree? I would risk losing two pokemon - but then, I could always use the worthless pidgey and the stupid magikarp so it wouldn't be much of a loss. Or I could use my best pokemon, and hope to achieve a solid victory - if Caprese is thinking the same sort of thing, I might not lose anything at all. Of course, if she brings out her best... I don't know how touch she is compared to me right now. She still only had a Cascade Badge, so she shouldn't be too far ahead, if she's ahead at all... she might have just leveled a single pokemon enough to take on the gym, and now she doesn't have it anymore!

Or I could just turn him down, though I'm sure Caprese will be disappointed - she seems pretty keen on the idea.

Im wondering why we didn't send in the raticate...

Send in HOLY DIVER AND Q! Althoguh this may end bad for Dio because SOMEONE didn't train him two levels higher to become a god amongst normal types
