#and that woulda denied us team dark

One of the funniest things about Omega is that while there's a lot of stories of "What if a weapon wanted to be more than just a weapon" Omega is essentially just "What if a gun wanted to be a gun" and somehow he ended up being on the good side of things.

[moonwaif]

Zack has 3 sisters who taught him makeup, and I need a fic of him teaching Cloud how to paint his nails.

Yooo here I am like one year later with a college/blitzball AU because of who I am as a person. Anyway thank you for the request, I had fun writing it~

When Cloud had agreed to the last-minute study session, he hadn’t expected to end up holding hands with Zack Fair.  

Well, not exactly “holding.” It was more just “touching” as Zack cradled his fingers. Cloud drew in a shuddery breath as Zack brought the cold, wet brush across his nails.

“Hold still,” Zack murmured. “Or I'm gonna mess it up.“ 

"S-sorry." 

The sound of his own voice made him cringe. Hoarse, breathy. Totally and completely uncool. 

"Your cuticles are a mess, dude. Shoulda bought some cream." 

"There’s a cream for that?” Cloud asked. Not that he really cared about the answer. He was too busy watching. After all, he wasn’t gonna lose out on such a great opportunity to admire Zack’s face, especially not when they were seated this close. The long, dark lashes were on full display as Zack’s gaze turned downward; the lips, quirked upward to form a dimple in the pit of one cheek; and then his hands, strong and veiny but moving with a calm, gentle precision that Cloud had never seen Zack use before. 

“’Course there’s a cream for that,” he replied. “They’ve got a cream for everything." 

"O-oh." 

Cloud swallowed, tried to ignore the rough skin of Zack’s palm pressed against his own. Or how good it felt to have Zack’s attention entirely to himself. 

That wasn’t an easy feat. Zack was infamously distractible—which is probably why their study session had been doomed from the start. Just a little over fifteen minutes in, and Zack had already launched into his squat routine. When he’d gotten tired of that, he plopped his butt down right on top of Cloud’s desk. 

"Hey, Cloud?" 

Cloud’s eyes had remained fixed on his laptop. "Yeah?" 

"What’s one thing you always wanted to do, but just never had the guts to?" 

"I don’t know. Where’s this coming from?" 

"Just … bored.” Zack scratched the back of his neck. “So? What about it?" 

"I don’t know. What about you?" 

"Eh, you know me. Not a whole lot that stops me from going after what I want." 

Yes, Cloud agreed internally. That passion, that drive. A very attractive quality. 

"But looking back,” Zack went on, “sometimes I wish I woulda challenged Sephiroth to a one-on-one match when I had the chance, y'know?" 

"You’ll have other chances.” Cloud tried not to sound too jealous. "Your mentor is his teammate, remember?" 

It was difficult sometimes, being best friends with the whiz kid Zack Fair–especially when you were a fluke like Cloud Strife. Sure, they’d both made the blitzball team and received full-ride scholarships, but Zack was in a league of his own. Watching him play was like fireworks: bright, brilliant and full of noise. No wonder he’d captured the attention of even professional players and coaches, who were already queuing up for the day he graduated. Cloud, on the other hand? He just made a good publicity story for the team. After all, how many kids in Nibelheim not only played blitzball but actually managed to be decent at it? 

Zack folded his arms. "Yeah, but I don't wanna wait. Anyway, it’s your turn. What’ve you always wanted to do?" 

Cloud’s fingers stilled on the keyboard. Words, unbidden, rose to his mind. 

Kiss Tifa. 

Kiss you. 

"Paint my nails,” he blurted, instantly regretting it. 

That was how they ended up at a beauty salon a few blocks from campus. They definitely drew stares. For Zack, they were the good kind of stares, of course. He caught people’s eye no matter where he went, so the extra attention wasn’t exactly a surprise. What was unexpected was how much Zack seemed to know about nail supplies. 

“Why do we need two clear coats?” Cloud asked, frowning. 

“‘Cuz one goes on top and one goes on bottom." 

”… Why?“ 

"To make it last longer,” Zack said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. “Now. Let’s pick out a color. Whaddya want?" 

Cloud stared at the rows upon rows of bottles, like so many rainbows spanning the shop wall. He read the display placards: gel, powder, shimmer, pearl …

"Er. I don’t even know where to start.”

Laughing, Zack moved behind Cloud and clasped his shoulders. He guided him toward a section of the wall. “Start here! Now come on, Spike. What speaks to you? And don’t worry about price, today’s on me." 

"This is stupid,” Cloud muttered, but he approached the shelf. No pastels, he decided. He wasn’t feeling that comfortable. And the neutral browns and shell pinks seemed pointless. Instead he went for a deep, almost-black navy blue.

“You sure that’s what you want?” Zack asked as they approached the register. “Why not sky blue? It’d bring out your eyes." 

Cloud shook his head. "No. This is what I want." 

And it had been. Cloud just hadn’t expected that Zack would be the one doing the nail painting for him. 

"I can do it myself, you know,” he grumbled. 

Zack snorted. "Yeah right. Not after the mess you made of your thumb. You’re not supposed to get so much paint on the brush. Less is more. Once it dries you can go back and do another coat." 

"How do you know so much about this stuff?” Cloud asked. 

Zack dipped the brush back into the bottle. “Lulu taught me,” he explained. “Her and Lebreau used to have me do their nails. Rinoa too. They thought it was cute." 

Cloud’s stomach clenched. Of course. 

"Guess you’re popular with girls for a reason,” he muttered. This drew a chuckle from Zack. Cloud stiffened, his brow furrowing. 

“What?” he demanded, defensive. 

“Nothing. It’s just, they’d probably get a kick out of hearing anyone call me popular.” Grinning, he turned his attention back to Cloud’s nails. “I mean, they weren’t my girlfriends, if that’s what you’re thinking." 

Cloud’s face burned. He thought about denying it. 

"Who are they, then?” he asked instead. 

Zack finished coating a nail, then looked up. No one’s eyes should be that beautiful, Cloud thought. No one’s jaw so chiseled. No one’s lips sculpted with such a sinful cupid’s bow. 

Zack flicked him on the forehead. “They’re my sisters, you dork." 

[pokeshippingflashfic]

one word prompt: Hug (I don't recall a single episode those 2 have ever hugged each other in).

Meditation. What you need most now is meditation.

Most of the time, your travels with Ash and Brock were entertaining, even somewhat pacifying. You were overwhelmed with blissful pleasantries between helping passersby or traveling to new regions and (more specifically) cities, to meeting and potentially catching new Pokemon, introducing yourself to people who reminded you of yourself…

Every once in awhile, your adventures turned irritating, maybe even swerving all the way over to infuriating on the annoyance meter. What with Team Rocket’s near daily attempts to steal your Pokemon, your arguments with one highly immature Ash Ketchum (seldom though they’d come to be after three or so years of traveling together, replaced instead by almost enjoyable banter), and there was always the occasional closed-minded stranger you might run into…

And, farthest and fewest in between, were the instances your adventures with your friends turned agonizingly life-threatening. There were the times you were suspended from frail bridges or hanging from the edges of cliffs, times when particularly violent Pokemon species chased you down in the wild… And how could you forget that one terrible period where you’d been left for dead on a sinking cruise ship, followed immediately by being stranded on a raft at sea with your sworn enemies, and then ended up swept up in a twister only to wash ashore on an island seemingly completely uninhabited except for colossal Pokemon a hundred times their normal size?

Your next drawn breath comes abruptly, a chill running up and down your spine before you try once more to relax in your seat, wringing your hands against the fabric of your red shoulder bag sitting in your lap.

And yet… and yet all your thought process does is send you spiraling further down the dark path to morbid fear, a memory coming to mind unbidden and resistant to your attempts to hold it at bay.

Ash, trapped under a chandelier in a dark and musty tower, not moving, not breathing…

Ash so sick in bed, flushed with fever, he can barely form the words to ask for assistance…

Ash, clothes torn askew and flesh burning in spots after trying to save a Pokemon or fend off Team Rocket…

Ash, looking heartbroken over a wounded and unconscious Pikachu after he’d lost a battle against some powerful foe (human or Pokemon; it didn’t matter)…

Ash… lost in the abyss of a subzero degree sea and barely kept alive by Pikachu’s best efforts to prevent him from sinking below the frigid waves doing their best to crash over him while the creatures behind his near demise continued to clash against one another in the skies above him…

The words come to your lips and demand to be heard before you have enough sense to realize they’re better left buried deep down inside.

“What the heck were you thinking, you idiot…?” 

Thankfully, they’re no louder than a whisper, yet you blink warily, wrenching around and hoping nobody’s around to hear you. Unfortunately, while you’re looking furtively for any potential eavesdropper, you’re not paying attention to the teenage boy in the hospital bed.

“Pikachu… All of our Pokemon were in trouble, Misty…” comes a grunt, causing you to swing back around and face straight ahead, “Someone had to do something, didn’t they?”

“Ash!” you nearly shriek but your voice is still hoarse from restraining tears and shouts all afternoon so it comes out sounding more like a dry croak as you scooch your chair closer to his bedside. “When did you wake up?!”

“Just now, I guess…” he groans, inching himself gingerly into a sitting position and flinching for good measure here and there. “How long have I been out?”

“Probably not long enough to teach you a lesson,” you admonish darkly, turning your nose up just enough at him to get him to scowl at you in reply. “Honestly, Ash, you’re such a glutton! Brock had gone to get help! Team Rocket’s stolen our Pokemon a hundred times before and we always get them back within twenty-four hours! You just can’t help playing the hero, huh?”

You know you’re overstepping but your shot and buried nerves have given you a downright terrible case of foot-in-mouth syndrome.

Ash seems somewhat reflective however seeing as he doesn’t immediately offer up a harsh rebuttal.

“Well… I’m already so used to it, I guess. Why not let it be me who helps? Besides, the reason we generally get our Pokemon back so quick usually has to do with one of us immediately running after Team Rocket to stop ‘em, doesn’t it?”

You’re grateful to whatever all-powerful force that keeps him from looking you in the eye after that. You can’t help seething, steeped in his unequivocal candor. You figure he must have hit his head harder than anyone thought if he’s making this much sense…

“So where’s Brock now anyway? I don’t really… remember what happened.”

“Well, you’ve been out cold since this morning. Brock came back with Officer Jenny and, since you were distracting Team Rocket pretty good, she was able to sneak up and catch them off-guard with her Pokemon. Unfortunately, those idiots directed their Pokemon to attack without informing them about changing targets so they ended up knocking you out…” you inform him, watching warily as he tries to adjust himself to a position that would somehow not aggravate the bruised ribs he doesn’t even know he has. “We’ve been here all day waiting for you to wake up but Brock finally decided a little while ago that we should eat. He’s at the cafeteria.”

“I’m… in the hospital.”

“Yeah you are, you dummy.”

“I guess,” he begins with a sharp wince you relish a little too much, “I really was hurt pretty bad.”

“A concussion, some bruising. I guess nothing you’re not already very used to, like you said.”

“I sense you’re upset, Mist,” he deadpans, finally daring to face you.

“Of course I am, Mr. Pokemon Master!” you nearly screech in response, and at least your voice has mostly returned to normal so he can hear you mean business. “I’m sick and tired of this! I’m tired of you getting hurt this often! It’s not normal to risk yourself so much!”

At some point, you’ve leaped out of your chair and are towering down at him in the bed, arms flailing wide in a broad gesture. His brows furrow in response, his lips (one of which is just barely split) mashed somehow thoughtfully together, however he doesn’t look like he wants to fight you. Perhaps there really is a first time for everything.

“I’ve seen you jump into danger to help others lotsa times,” he murmurs just loud enough to hear. “And I know… if I hadn’t’ve been there, you woulda taken care of things pretty much the same way.”

That’s twice he’s got you now and you’re so overwhelmed with a complicated jumble of emotion that you collapse back into your seat, glaring daggers into the scuffed linoleum floor underneath.

Meditate. You need to meditate. Take your space and…

“That doesn’t make it okay.”

Once again, your mouth flies open and tries to cause problems. Your eyes are shut tight because you’re not sure you can handle a stare-off right now.

“But it’s what I like about you.”

The worn wire wound restrictively around your muscles loosens all in one go, and you unwind and slouch in your chair. He’s never said he likes much of anything about you before. You’re flattered and furious all rolled into one. A sight to behold.

“Listen, Misty, if you’re worried about me…”

But before he can continue, you’ve flown once more, upright, forward, arms around him tight enough to make him grimace from the pain (which reminds you to loosen your grip just a little even though you refuse to let go).

It’s the first time he’s ever accused you of being worried. In most other situations, on most other days, you’d deny it in a heartbeat. And something in the back of your mind is reminded once more of those other times his life has been at risk.

“So Misty, you’re really worried about me!” a distant child guffaws softly in your ear, and a younger version of yourself whips around in confusion. You could have sworn that was Ash…

“I am! I’m worried! You scare me to death, you… you idiot!” you cry fiercely, your cheeks tinging a bashful pink at such a confession. “I’m tired of worrying about you, I’m tired of seeing you get seriously beat up or knocked out! I know… I know when we started traveling together… I know sometimes… it was - could - be funny… maybe but…”

You taper off into a sniffle, rubbing your damp eyes roughly against his black tee shirt.

Ash is silent and stiff wedged awkwardly in your embrace, you’re not sure from the new form of contact or the pain he’s probably in. Eventually you do let go, falling back once more into your chair and staring intensely at one of his ears because you can’t look him in the eyes just yet.

You don’t know what to say about the sting of hurt that courses through you in response to his lack of reciprocation. Sure, the hug was entirely new, a foreign means of intimate, unspoken communication… but still…

You feel a slight pressure and notice that he’s grasped your hand in his. Now it’s his turn to be too embarrassed to face you evenly, his turn to blush a mildly alarming scarlet.

“I… I don’t know what… to say, what you expect…” he stumbles and stammers in reply. “But I like that you worry about me. Can you keep doing that?”

It’s not remotely close to what you wanted to hear, the type of compromise you were hoping for, but there’s something raw and very Ash-and-Misty about such a request…

Still, you refuse to let him walk away with your heart so freely.

“Fine but only if you promise t - to care - ah, I mean - worry about me too!”

The warmth between you crosses from his palm to your fingertips, from his thumb to your wrist, slowly consuming every limb and inch of skin before he finds the nerve to beam at you through his pain. His response, somewhat delayed, is at the least brutally, blissfully honest…

“Of course, Misty!”

… And you think to yourself that, hey, this is far more than what you had from him before.

(Sheesh, I struggled so much with this! I adored the prompt - thanks, anon, for sending it in, I totally agree about the travesty in Ash and Misty’s lack of hugs - but I was working 17 hours on 3 hours of sleep… Then my first draft vanished so I started over… Overall, I really like the finished product though…)

Pokémon Black 2 Randomized Nuzlocke Run [Part 7]

It is time for badge number seven.

Lesgo.

Vertex (Luxray)

Caspet (Gengar)

Nessy (Milotic)

Diego (Gardevoir)

Photon (Rayquaza)

Cerberus (Dodrio)

Squad goals.

Why won’t Unova Gyms ever just let me leave?

And apparently I’m not going through Twist Mountain? I’m getting a lift on a plane?

If that’s the case, that’s happening later. I think I’m going to get Cerberus up to level 40 in the sad death tower before I do anything else. I don’t want to have members of my team lagging consistently. You will all be useful. I will make it happen.

Also, something I haven’t mentioned yet (...I think, it’s been a while to get this far) is that Pokemon Breeders in this gen seem to be available to fight every single time you enter that route. Not like you can fight them if you want. After beating them, if you leave and go back to the route, they will do the exclamation point thing.

This is annoying.

Route 7, also known as that place before the sad death tower, has one.

It is not irritating enough to conjure up hate for. And yet.

Flash forward into the future a bit later, and we have a team where everyone’s above or at 40 except for... Photon. Photon, my friend, we’re just gonna slap the Exp. Share on you and continue with the plot. Your legendary status means me stacking the deck with levels is less important.

I can’t believe this place has a purpose in this game. Or that I get to fly in a plane (I assume, my memory on the sequel games is even worse than my memory for Black and White starting out). There’s something weird about using a plane to get around in a Pokemon game. Doesn’t feel natural.

Oh well, too bad so sad.

...Lentimas Town.

I have no memory of this place.

Hey, Bianca’s coming with us! Yay!

I really have no memory of this place, but there’s some Fire pokemon in Reversal Mountain, apparently, and also Professor Juniper reminds everyone that Black and White happened, so it makes no sense for Team Plasma to be trying to wake up a dragon; they’re all accounted for after all.

My exploits from last game mattered, you guys. They really did happen.

No, but I’m easy to please. Any time the games reference games that happened in the past for the current game, I am made a happy camper. Us and N catching a legendary dragon each is a good thing to keep in continuity.

I’m starting to maybe remember this place... maybe?

I guess we don’t stay here long, so time to not really care. I do continue to like how the setting is not an exact copy of the previous games, though. There’s a lot of repetition that comes from this being a sequel, but everything’s been thought out well enough that it really does feel like a new journey.

Now see, my question is if there’s a cave to this Reversal Mountain, and is it marked with a different title. I’m catching something very soon, but do I have the option of picking between outside Reversal Mountain and inside, or do I... perchance... get both?

It’s probably just one and I should just march into the grass.

I don’t wanna.

Ah, but it looks like I have to step through grass anyway. But there is the option of dark grass vs. normal grass.

I am too battle-weary and scarred. Normal grass.

!!!! A Normal pokemon for the normal grass! Hi Miltank! Let us be the best of friends and not roll each other into death. Photon’s the best bet for not accidentally killing the little lady (I did not check this with numbers and have no plans to).

Only while I was typing, Miltank used Bide, and I missed that, so Nessy with her excellent HP had to go out and deal with the consequences of Photon’s one attack. Nessy and Twister are taking Miltank down at a safe rate. She’s in the orange, so throwing time.

While she’s using Rollout.

Of course.

Hey, first ball! We’re Pokemon Going over here!

Her name is Bessy. Because it is.

But whoops, I need to head back to the Pokemon Center for a hot second and get her out of the Graves box. You’re not dead yet, darling.

Dark grass has Luxio.

It also leads to a strange house instead of fun cave time.

See, right there in the title. Can has pokemon?

Coool. Want to join my gang?

Nessy and Twister seem to be an okay catching combo. Let’s see if we can get it working twice in a row.

Damn it, Nessy. Your first one left him in the green. The green. Sigh.

Farewell, unnamed shark friend.

(he woulda been bruce)

Ahoy random Gigalith in the upstairs of the house with the moving furniture I can’t cap because these are stills. Sadly I’m not in the mood to deal with Sturdy, so I’m going to run from those instead of harvesting them.

Awww, there’s a Castform downstairs. Plus a Spell Tag.

Then the furniture moves and clears up a doorway. Behind which is a trainer.

I feel like a lot of the NPCs we meet in these games have very hard lives. Hello Sentret in the middle of the room. Are you keeping this one company?

Ludicolo is in the front room.

Caspet learns Dark Pulse. Bye-bye, Night Shade.

Waaaaaait. Wait. Aren’t you the ghost girl from the bridge in the last games? I remember you! Is this where you get something to do instead of just being odd? Note that it doesn’t count if it’s an event thing that needs a code or internet or special event items!

She’s looking for her parents.

And her Abra.

....Then a wild Abra shows up.

Is that scripted, or did the Randomizer just give me an amazing gift?

Weepinbell back downstairs.

I go through another door, and get a Full Heal for my trouble. With added wild Octillery. Fuck you, Octillery. You are banned from all my runs forever.

Ooooo wild Haxorus. Look at all these things I can’t have. Downstairs has a stray Riolu. The trouble I go through for a... Dusk Stone. Yeah, okay, that’s nice to have. Toxicroak is also here.

Then back upstairs, suddenly Gible. What’s this place usually supposed to have?

The second floor’s chairs have moved, so I go through one of the upstairs doors. Another trainer room. Yay. With a Mr. Mime. Yay.

I’m really sorry about your life/undeath, NPC Ghost Girl.

Oh, neat. Lunar Wing.

I have no memory of which legendary that belongs to. I want to guess Cresselia, but I don’t know if it’s even in this game. I do know it’s a gen four legendary, which would make sense for the sidequest feel of this house.

Oh wait it doesn’t matter because Randomized Nuzlocke.

...Well fine, but I’d still like to know.

That makes me feel surprisingly sad.

One last door to check out. Empty but for Golett (want) and a Rare Candy. Time to leave.

Back outside there’s an Exeggcute I wouldn’t have wanted. The normal grass has Whismur.

There was a cave after all. Ugh. I can’t believe this counts as the same route as outside. Cave and grass should get to be different.

Heeey! Bianca! Wait, before we team up and I abuse your healing for exp, I need to check the other side of the cave.

Oh. The other side of the cave has a Max Repel and that’s it. Back to Bianca, I guess. And she’s psyched for Heatran, which is a very relatable feel.

Zoroark and Tangrowth for the first encounter of the cave. I say, pretending it matters. Stoutland can also be found here. Knowing their propensity for knowing Crunch, I think maybe something not Caspet can be in the front. Photon, gain your own exp for a change.

Crawdaunt is another feature. It’s a dark, Dark cave.

I was checking to see if Cerberus can learn Acrobatics. No, but he can learn Fly. You know, that classic Dodrio usage. Fly. Which he is absolutely learning.

Aww, a wild Togepi. It’s gone now.

I love getting to wander with someone who handles the healing. It’s so nice battling without stress. Also known as grinding without needing to use up items.

Haa. See, normally you’d be right, but.

Huh. There’s a Magikarp and a Weedle through a different passage. Neat. You will not be missed. Then we come across a bizarrely gen-appropriate pair of Tympole.

Can Triple Battles not be a thing? I don’t care for them. They make me worry. Arguably I could help myself by arranging my team so I would have a good comp for whenever I fell into one, but where would the fun in that sane choice be.

Dust clouds come with Munchlax. Neato.

We’re in a legendary’s nest. They’re all like this.

...Why can you find Luxray and Ninjask here???

Ditto for Steelix and Porygon. Yay for Randomizer randomizing every single room of an area. It’s cool, but in the larger places it can be really disorienting. A male Nidoran also says hello.

I don’t know where to find the Magma Stone to get Heatran, so we’re done with Reversal Mountain, I believe. Geez I hope that’s the name of this place. I’m too lazy to check at the moment.

I have escaped!

And found a Shiny Stone. Win.

I didn’t recognize this place, then I remembered. Water. Bay. Post-game trauma. They messed with the map to keep things interesting.

What.

My curiosity is piqued.

But I want to get something random in the waves before I investigate.

Um.

Well this is awkward.

Level 39.

Photon should not be out front for this. Nessy?

Okay. Nessy gets Regice in the red. Regice knows Curse and Ancient Power. I do have a Master Ball. I can’t deny that I’m seriously tempted by it, but we’re going to try doing this like a standard trainer first.

Net Ball doesn’t work because of course it doesn’t (I just wanted to use it because Surfing), and Regice knows Superpower. Ah yes, the Regis and their. Stuff. First Ultra Ball doesn’t get anywhere. Same for second. Icy Wind is Regice’s last move.

My team has no Fire or Fighting on it. I miss having those options.

Have I been able to buy Timer Balls anywhere? Those would be nice to have right about now, as my Ultra Ball supply dwindles.

I am out of Ultra Balls.

Look, Pokemon Go legendary catching can be rough. You only get so many balls, and even if you do everything perfectly, it still might run on you.

But you don’t end up spending twenty minutes trying to catch one thing.

Seconds after I type that:

Heeeeeyo.

What do I name it, though?

Refrigerator.

That doesn’t fit.

Refriger8r.

Okay, so I have to stock up on Ultra Balls, and possibly also healing options depending on my mood when I look at the prices. Then we go see what Undella Bay and Route 14 have to offer.

The Undella Pokemon Center only has Luxury and Dive Balls. :(

My beloved Timer. Where...?

And then I bought 50 Ultra Balls.

I’m going to sell some stuff.

Okay Bay, what do you have for me?

Yeah, I can make this work.

Assuming I don’t accidentally kill it.

Thank goodness for Nessy still knowing Twister. Gottem.

His name is now Zentrotta. I think we can agree he’d be happier if I hadn’t caught him. Tragedy at its finest.

Caspet is back up front, and for now Nessy will carry the Exp. Share. She’s not had much to go up against, so she’s lagging a tad.

Aw, there’s a little Deerling on the water. Aaand it’s gone.

Hello what is this.

Indeed.

...I have questions I can’t really make myself care about enough to type.

So this guy only moves if we beat him, and before we get the chance to beat him we have to pass some game-acknowledged strength test. I probably need another badge or something. But there’s enough ground to walk back and forth, so what have you got for me, Seaside Cave?

Cool beans.

Nessy, come help not kill it.

Yay, caught.

His name is Blimperton now. Welcome to the box.

Outside, the deep water spots can be Venomoth. How pleasant.

Jelli to you too, good sir.

Huh, okay, they just give you a random Jellicent encounter here.

Game. I was just trying to speed along to the Pokemon Center. Please.

Unfezant down, Simisage down, Vertex can be in for Samurott. Level 41, so I’m. not as overleveled as I usually am except for Caspet. Caspet has reached 47 and I don’t mind her being completely overpowered.

For an update, since I think I’m pretty bad about keeping track of their levels in this: Caspet is 47, Nessy is 43, Vertex is 43, Diego is 44, Photon is 45, Cerberus is 43. Everyone is healthy and alive.

Geez I hate Triple Battles. Random trainers don’t share my feelings. This is an annoyance.

ROTATION BATTLES AREN’T THAT MUCH BETTER, OTHER RANDOM TRAINER. STOP THINKING YOU’RE SPECIAL JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE AN ACE OR A COOL OR WHATEVER THE HECK YOUR TITLE IS I DIDN’T READ IT.

And I can’t continue down through Route 14 because there’s a block of people in the way. So I guess all that’s left to do is check out what the sequel to this route has in store for me.

Last game it did not have anything I wanted.

But this time...!

Eh. I’ll catch you I guess.

Her name’s Tux now.

Meanwhile, in the dark grass...

Yep.

Wormadam, too. Such grass. Much excite.

Off up to Route 13.

New route means yet another new pokemon. ...After we fight a bunch of trainers because I care more about levels than pokemon I’m hoping to never use at the moment.

Several minutes later, the only other trainers are through grass, so let’s go!

Eyo. I don’t think I’ve had you before.

Cerberus, are you up for helping?

Well, one hit almost took half your health. So let’s say no.

Nessy!

...You know, given the amount of damage it’s doing. I think I’m going to Surf and risk fainting before it kills Nessy. Aaand... yeah. Mienshao out.

This grass also has Sandile. And Cascoon.

Nothing I have knows Cut. Languish there for all days.

That Ranger wants a Triple Battle.

Why is this route like this.

Hey, a Heatran! Bianca, guess what!

Oh so you don’t need Cut. Meh. I’m not in the mood.

Professor Juniper and Bianca say hello in town. Bianca, walk about twenty steps to the right so you can find something neat. You’ll love it, promise.

But no, it’s time to listen to an old lady talk about the Giant Chasm. I don’t wanna do that, either. I want my badges. I maybe should have taken the aquarium route to speed that along, but I don’t know if that would actually do anything.

Wait, I was spamming A. Was there a directive in there?

Hm. I sense plot ahead.

This villain understands me.

Oh cool battle time.

Russell, buddy, you run almost as much as blondie scarf from gen 4. Take a chill pill. You have won all the good big brother points you possibly could just by caring about a Purrloin this long.

So everything’s telling us to go to Opelucid. For Dragons.

Hard pass, where’s the surfer Gym? Water sounds way friendlier. I’m going to see if that one’s blocked off or not.

DAMN IT.

The janitor won’t let us pass. ;-;

Okay fine, I guess we’re heading to Opelucid. And plot, probably. The plot is of no interest to me. This is true in pretty much every single one of these games. I’m in it for the pokemon. The human with their human troubles are way less fun.

New route! What will it have for us?

I had to embrace fun when I saw one of the grass patches shaking. Our first route with a wiggly grass option! And it is...?

I’ll gladly take it!

...If I can catch it!

...Preferably without anyone dying!

I’m going to let Photon take a stab. Crunch should be super effective, but Photon doesn’t have STAB adding to it, and Metagross has rocking Defense. So this might be pathetically sad, but nothing should die.

PHOTON.

FRIEND.

NOT FOOD.

Three Ultra Balls in, I am sad.

But we get it! Huzzah!

Its name is Stormy. :)

Ouch, Caspet’s trying to learn Destiny Bond.

Caspet?

You’re not dying. This is the definition of a useless move.

What else does this here grass hold when it’s not wiggling?

ELEKID. Noooo. Why must we always pass like ships in the night... Claydol is also here.

The dark grass’ first entry is Jynx and Magikarp. Chingling is also here. Buizel too.

Cerberus has learned Drill Peck! Oh happy days!

Normal grass has Vaporeon, Huntail, and Spinda to go with what we’ve already seen.

Vertex is moving up front, and Diego is getting the Exp. Share instead of Cerberus for the time being.

Another bridge, another route.

Another set of trainers that really make me want to have a Fire type.

There’s dark grass on one side of the bridge, normal grass on the other. A pass through on my bike didn’t get anything to pop out of the dark grass, so normal grass wins the prize for this route’s catch.

Before that, there are trainer battles.

Of the Triple variety.

yay

Ooooooh. I like this. I like this a lot.

Vertex, do not murder.

Vertex follows instructions, paralyzes Vileplume, and dodges getting poisoned twice. This is why he’s allowed to live. One Ultra Ball later, and new friend acquired.

Named... Bongo.

Geez, this grass also has Mamoswine. We’re not fighting that. The water’s dark spots get Zebstrika.

Uh.

So she shoves me out.

Rude. I’m the protagonist. I go where I want.

I’m starting to rush a little since this part is getting long and I haven’t even hit the badge town, but hey! I do remember this sequence! I remembered it belonging to a different game, but A for effort, right?

Made it to Opelucid.

Since the game itself suggests via Iris to go to Route 9 first, I’m guessing I should clear up anywhere that offers trainers to fight before trying the Gym. Dragon is a pain anyway. I don’t have anything except Nessy’s Twister that’s super effective against it. I think even at the level I’m at, it should be okay, but I also think it could go incredibly badly, which I don’t want.

But before that, Route 11 didn’t force me to go through any grass, so I still have a pokemon to catch there. Let’s watch.

Huh, interesting. ...Vertex, let’s swap you out before something unfortunate happens. Though it is level 36, and he does know Crunch... Yeah, we’re going to be stupid. Magnitude 7 doesn’t do a threatening amount of damage. Yay.

She is caught, and her name shall be Winn.

Now the other side of Opelucid, after healing up.

Miltank! But we have a Miltank. Next.

I like.

Vertex. Critical hits are for trainer battles. Sigh. Farewell, Route 9. I think we could have been great together, but alas. Now to go through all the everything else to do in this route and then go finally get the seventh badge.

Hm. I think maybe I’ll just get everyone on the team up to 50, then go for it. Nice, even number.

Other things of note: I have found a Mart with Quick Balls. The world is bright. But for now, grinding. ...Against Torchic and Deerling, apparently. Maybe I want other grass. Oh, but dude. Glaceon in the dark grass. Nice. Ha, randomized and still offering super effective options outside scary gyms. Golduck and Nidorina are here, too. And Braviary and Pansage.

-winds the clock forward a few hours-

K, we’ve got folks at level 50 now. So, Drayden?

Dragons.

Cerberus is going to sit in first for a while. He’s on the fragile side, but his Attack and Speed are good, and Flying should be neutral to everything in the Gym. Same cloth as Caspet, only physical. Nessy might take over just for the comfort of tankiness, but this is where we start.

First person in the Gym has one level 46 Fraxure.

Dragons are scary.

Oh fuck you.

Fuck. That’s partially on me. If I had used Drill Peck instead of Fly, Fraxure would have been busy Dragon Dancing and would have done zero damage. But I used Fly to try to hit Fraxure hard while avoiding any of its attacks, and.

Look, the screencap’s right there.

Fuck.

Nessy’s going in, under the theory that nothing on my team is going before Dragon Dance x2 Fraxure, but Nessy’s the most likely option for surviving.

It uses Taunt so it doesn’t matter.

Great.

Great.

Cerberus, I like Dodrio. An Adamant Dodrio? Wonderful. You will be missed. Fly will be missed. Many things about this feel awful.

Bye.

Stormy is a Jolly Metagross that’s a little quick tempered.

Welcome. You’ll be given the Exp. Share while your new friends try very hard to make it through the rest of this Gym without casualties.

-drums fingers-

With Dragon Dance being a move everything in this Gym is probably going to know, I do not want to play the long game with any of the trainers. I want to go in and kill everything in one hit.

...Caspet is in front.

-hides eyes behind hands-

-gives Caspet a Spell Tag-

One trainer down as planned.

IIIIIII hate this gym.

Druddigon has Crunch. Things to keep in mind.

So now we have the most obnoxious part of this Gym. I get to choose between Rotation and Triple Battle for the next peg up it. My usual path says I do both. In case you haven’t noticed, I hate Triple Battles. Doing one is not high on my list of desired outcomes.

But I’d feel weird avoiding it. Famous last words. -sigh- Caspet, Vertex, Nessy. That’s the order. Let’s do this.

Easy part done. Rotation Battle win. Ugh.

For the sake of my sanity, I’m giving Caspet all three of my Rare Candy. Yes, I have a favorite, yes, it’s the closest thing I have to a starter. If I’m putting her so close to the chopping block, I’m going to make sure she’s fully equipped. Druddigons are surviving to attack her right now, and that’s no bueno.

Triple Battle. Weeee.

It ends in a round because Caspet wins at life. Awesome. Okay.

All that’s left is Drayden.

This guy’s face is a lot less scary when it isn’t up close.

Sooooooo. Level 46 Druddigon is first. Shadow Ball finishes it. Flygon is next. ...That one, I think I can trust to Nessy. Flygon isn’t as much about hard hits.

Level 46 again. Crunch gets a critical hit that just barely keeps Nessy in the green, Nessy uses Surf. Surf brings Flygon to a sliver of red, so I go with Surf again. Hopefully Flygon’s other moves don’t do more damage than a critical hit Crunch, or Drayden feels like healing it.

Yeah, Drayden goes with a Hyper Potion.

...Flygon’s next Crunch gets a critical hit too, what the hell.

Surf after that faints it, though. So that’s two out of three down.

Drayden’s last pokemon is Haxorus. Nessy’s too far in the red to keep in without healing, and Haxorus is high on the Dragon Dance strat list. But if Caspet can’t get it in one hit, I’m pretty confident in Haxorus’ ability to fuck Caspet up.

But I’m honestly pretty confident in Haxorus’ ability to fuck my entire team up. Caspet would be the best bet for ending it fast. ...So, you know. Caspet. Go. Go. not die.

Level 48 Haxorus. Yaaaaaaaaaaay.

CASPET YOU BEAUTIFUL GHOST.

THAT’S BADGE SEVEN.

WE’RE NOT ALL ALIVE BUT ENOUGH OF US ARE.

AND I WAS PREWARNED ABOUT GETTING TALKED TO OUTSIDE ABOUT UNOVA’S MYTHOLOGY, BUT FOR NOW THIS PART IS OVER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
