Let's Play Pokemon Silver Nuzlocke

[Peanut]

*Mr. Hat'n'Clogs sat and stared intently at the little man looking up at him. He wore a red hat and vest and looked like another Pokemon Trainer. But he seemed too small to be one. The trainer pointed towards a group of shadows. Mr. Hat'n'Clogs turned and saw a pair of glowing eyes staring back at him. Suddenly, he was filled with a sense of excitement and quickly moved towards the shadows. There he beheld it, a Red Gyrados! So strange and yet...so enthralling. But then the tiny trainer tapped him on the shoulder. Shook his head. And as Mr. Hat'n'Clogs turned to see the Red Gyrados slip away into the shadows a voice spoke and simply said "Somethings aren't meant to exist in this world..."*

*Mr. Hat'n'Clogs awoke in a cold sweat. A dream? What could it mean?*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: It probably means I shouldn't of eaten those Bean Burritos last night...


*Introducing Crossfire, the Polywag!*

Crossfire: Why am I in this? I never signed up to be a Pokemon!

*Because the creator ran out of dudes who wanted to be Pokemon...so he had to get creative.*

firestorm: Also what is it with members with fire in their name being Pokemon that have nothing to do with fire?!

*Irony.*



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Mahogany Town is just through this tunnel.

firestorm: I wonder if Mahogany Town has any Mahogany in or around it?

Mechana: Based off of the lack of Azelea's in Azelea Town, I'd say probably not.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: That seems like a good bet.



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: You'd think they would put lighting in a tunnel which serves as a main thoroughfare to Mahogany Town but nope. No lights in this joint.

goldenspines: Where would this world be without us Pokemon?

firestorm: Probably a little safer but a lot less interesting.



*A short stroll through a cave later and the party finds themselves outside of Mahogany Town.*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Well that could have been...more eventful. Well, whatever, let's go check out Mahogany Town and hit up there gym.



Store Clerk: Welcome to the Mahogany Completely Not a Hideout for Team Rocket Poke-Mart. Feel free to look at our goods that we did not steal or acquire through unethical means.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs:...I get the feeling we'll be back here later.

firestorm: Yeah...



Dude: Sorry, Gym's closed.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: What? Why?!

Dude: Because...Gyrados are burninating the countryside!!!

*Suddenly a Red Gyrados appears in the sky, firing blasts of fire at various buildings throughout the town. The Gym is hit with a blast and catches on fire.*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Wooh...

goldenspines: Huh, well I guess that is a decent reason to close a gym.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Well since its in our way...I guess we'll just have to take care of it.



*A short walk to the Lake of Rage later.*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Given the current situation, I'd say this place is aptly named.

firestorm: Who would've thought it?!



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Huh, it looks rather...calm...

*The Red Gyrados breathes some more fire on some random old guy*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Very calm actually...I don't know what these people are worrying about.

goldenspines: You're joking...right...

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: It could be using Hyper Beam right now.

goldenspines: I...well that is a good point...



*The Red Gyrados locks eyes with Mr. Hat'n'Clogs*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Hey there big guy...nothing personal but you're in my way so. We're going to have to take you down.

*The Red Gyrados roars and charges at Mr. Hat'n'Clogs. Fish'n'Chips jumps out and blocks its attack.*

Fish: It looks like it doesn't want to give up without a fight.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Gyrados' are proud creatures who've honed their skills through years of stealing chunks of experience from other Pokemon...which sounds more dishonorable then it actually is.

*Fish uses Confusion and sends the Red Gyrados spiraling backwards.*

Fish: How do you know all these things?

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs:...I don't know...

*Fish hits the Red Gyrados with another confusion causing it to collapse into the water in pain. It stares at Mr. Hat'n'Clogs with some tears beginning to roll down its eyes, as if in an extraordinary amount of pain. An image flashed through Mr. Hat'n'Clogs mind of a catlike pokemon with glowing eyes, giving the same look. And then some more words echoing in his mind. Somethings aren't meant to exist in this world...*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs:...don't worry. I will end your suffering.

Fish: You saying something Mr. Hat'n'Clogs

*Mr. Hat'n'Clogs snapped out of whatever state he was in.*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: What...oh, uh go ahead and finish it off Fish!

*Fish hits the Red Gyrados with another Confusion sending it sinking beneath the waves of Lake Rage.*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: There...rest in peace.



*As Mr. Hat'n'Clogs returns to the shore, a mysterious man in a cloak approaches him.*

Cloaked Man: Mr. Hat'n'Clogs?

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Yes? Do I know you?

Cloaked Man: No, but I know a lot about you. I'm Lance, the current Pokemon Champion.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Oh, of course, Lance. I recognize you now what are you doing out here?

Lance: Word has reached me about your journey through the Johoto gyms and I have to say I'm impressed. And, given the way you dealt with that Red Gyrados, I feel completely confident in asking you to do some work for me. So what do you say?

*Lance extends his hand. Mr. Hat'n'Clogs stares at it and then reaches out and shakes it.*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: What would you have me do?

[Peanut]

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Did you just use a Hyper Beam on that guy?!

Lance: There's no time! We have to shut down the machine in this base! We can't let the disaster in Kanto from occuring again!



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Right.

*Earlier*

Lance: Our sources have detected a radio signal within the confines of Mahogany Town. It is the cause of the appearance of all these Red Gyrados' recently.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: I see. But they don't seem too bad.

Lance: *sighs* Don't you understand, Team Rocket is trying to repeat what they did two years ago under the former Champion. He raised up an army of Red Gyrados and used them to bring the land of Kanto to its knees. If it wasn't for my heroic intervention, they'd still be terrorizing our world to this very day! *Lance puts his hand on Mr. Hat'n'Clogs shoulder* We can't let them build such an army again. I need you to come with me and make sure that the past stays burried this time. And that more innocent lives aren't lost.

*The Present*


Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Well things seem pretty quiet so far...

*A thousand Team Rocket Grunts swarm Mr. Hat'n'Clogs*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs:...

firestorm: You know if you just expected...

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Just razor leaf their Pokemon firestorm...


*Several uneventful battles and one forgettable encounter with moonrockdragon later*

moonrock: Hey I'm not forgettable!

*Shut up moonrock.*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Are you the man in charge?

Rocket Executive: Yes, how could you tell?

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: The suit kind of gave you away. Anyway, I'm going to stop you guys from raising up an army of Red Gyrados!

Rocket Executive: What?! You would dare mess with the will of our executive Peanut!

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs:...who?

Rocket Executive: You know Peanut? *Still nothing from Mr. Hat'n'Clogs* He beat the Elite Four *Yep not getting it* He led Team Rocket on its most successful stretch of time for two years *He's never heard of him* What are they teaching kids in school these days?

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: What's school? I only know Pokemon.

Rocket Executive:...it makes so much sense now...



Rocket Executive: I still won't let you foil our plans!


*Garland vs. Zubat*

Garland: Behold my epic return!

*Garland uses Swift and slices the Zubat into many pieces with a multitude of stars*

Garland: Ha, I still got it.

goldenspines: I don't think you'll ever loose your desire for needless violence...


*mechana vs. Raticate*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: mech Bite it!

*mechana gets into a chomping match with the Raticate and wins...which seems kind of weird when you think about it.*

mechana: Pointy fangs are better then buckteeth.


*goldenspines vs. Koffing*

goldenspines: Well, here goes nothing.

*goldenspines uses peck until the Koffing dies.*

goldenspines: Huh, that was less painful then I thought. I almost expected it to use Self-Destruct during all of that *pauses* This is weird.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: What?

goldenspines: I just gave the game every right to ironically kill me and it didn't.

*What can I say, sometimes Pokemon doesn't hate you.*


*Mr. Hat'n'Clogs is victorious*

Rocket Executive: I...no...his dream...I've failed him.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Alright buddy, give me the code to shut down this machine and I'll let you go.

Rocket Executive: NEVER!!!

*The Rocket Executive dumps a massive cup of coffee on the nearby computer and then runs out of the room.*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Oh...frickkkkk.

[mechana2015]

I was wondering if I was still alive...

Turns out I am... and I'm BITEY.

[Peanut]

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: FRICK!!!! Ok, here's the machine there must be a way to shut this down before--


*Two other Team Rocket Executives appear and surround Mr. Hat'n'Clogs*

Rocket Executive 1: We're not letting you foil our maginificent plans!

Rocket Executive 2: Yeah! A kid like you has no business preventing us from ruling the world!

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Wait...wasn't it a kid like me who foiled your plans three years ago.

Rocket Executive 2: ...maybe.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: And didn't he end up bringing down the empire your former boss built?

Rocket Executive 1: What's your point?

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: My point is there's be a precedent set by my predecessor which I must copy by disrupting your business wherever it may be.

Rocket Executive 1: You have a point there...

Rocket Executive 2: But that won't stop us from smashing you into the ground with our combined power!




Lance: You know, let the 99% get a cut of the pie. Or in this case, myself a share of the battle.

Rocket Executive 1: What's Lance doing here?! I thought Champions--

Lance: Sat around and watched TV? Please we do things besides that!

Rocket Executive 2: Like what?

Lance: Like...*Lance stopped for a second*Well we...*Lance again stopped*Well we take on challengers.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Come to think of it, what is the job of an Elite Four Champion.

Lance: I...its...well we...look its classified. If I said anything to you, I'd have to kill you so lets just get into the battle before that unfortunate fate occurs to you all.



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: You had a store selling illegal goods.

Rocket Executive 2: Yeah and?

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: This hideout's fate was sealed as soon as you made it really obvious that it was a place of illegal activity. The police were going to check it out eventually and they likely would have found this place.

Rocket Executive 2: Well...so what?! I can still crush you here.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Please, I beat another executive earlier what makes you think you'll do better.

*One short, easy battle later*

Rocket Executive 2: How?!

firestorm: Because, we're over leveled and have a trainer who isn't a complete moron.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Which is a winning combination in any Pokemon game.

Rocket Executive 1 &2: Retreat!

Lance: Now that that is over, we have to shut down this machine by killing all those Electrodes!

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Wait...couldn't we just catch them.

Lance:...Um...jeez I never thought about that...eh, screw it, I'm killing them anyway.

Garland: Violence over a reasonable solution?! I like this guy!



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Well...I guess we'll take care of this side...

*Several not so eventful battles later...*



Lance:...been stopped. Good work Mr. Hat'n'Clogs.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Thanks!

Lance: I have to admit, you met my expectations. I may have a job for you in the future. If, that is, your able to make it through the rest of the League challenge and defeat me.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: So you want to test my strength for yourself before you give me some super, awesome task?

Lance: No, I'm just obligated by my contract to not higher help that is outside of the Elite Four. To join the Elite Four you have to at least face me. Union regulations and all.

goldenspines: You guys have a union?

Lance: Anyway here, take this!



Lance: And I hope to see all of you in the future.


*Also from back before the fight with the Red Gyrados, its ChristianKitsune! The Flaaffy!*

Kaligraphic: Hey CK, I have a question for you?

CK: Yes Kaligraphic?

Kaligraphic: Do androids dream of electric sheep?

CK:...no.

Kaligraphic: Good, I figured you'd know.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: Almost forgot that its time for a gym! Next Gym leader is Pryce and he uses 3 Pokemon (which seems awfully low to me for the 7th gym leader in this region). So, that means I need you all to vote on three of the following Pokemon for me to use in the next gym leader battle. Here is the list:
firestorm-Megarium
mechana-Crobat
golenspines-Noctowl
Garland-Togetic
Okami-Bellsprout
SavedGamer-Rattata
FishnChips-Slowbro
Midori-Persian
Mr. Frodo-Shelder
Kali-Beedrill
Tsukyomi-Tentacool
Jaden Mental-Krabby
Topaz-Shuckle
Crossfire-Poliwag
CK-Flaaffy

[goldenspines]

Aw man, I forgot I was the super awesome Noctowl. *A*

Not that I'll be in help in the next gym. Ice and water, I think it is...

So, I'm looking at CK, Fish, aaaaand why don't you have a fire type? D: Let's do Mr. Frodo, he has surf, which while not the most effective is a powerful move.

[Peanut]

So, I'm looking at CK, Fish, aaaaand why don't you have a fire type? D:

Because Pokemon hates me and everything I stand for.

[Garland]

Let's see... Most ice types in silver are going to be Seel/Dewgong, and I think a Cloyster makes an appearance too...The last one I can think that could be in the gym of is Swinub and Piloswine, (Ice/Ground) That is, most will be water-based or part water type so fire types aren't quite as good as the type advantage suggests. (From memory) Ice>Grass, Flying, Ground, and is not resisted by many types, but it is weak to fighting and rock, so if you have a strong physical Pokemon with a fighting or rock move, that could work... Flaaffy for water types, Water pokemon with other types of moves to resist both ice and water. Swinub and Piloswine should be pretty easy to kill (Water will work wonderfully) except that they do a lot of damage with physical attacks. Meganium could probably oneshot the Seel that Pryce has too.
So:
Meganium=>Seel
Flaaffy=>Dewgong
Shellder=>Piloswine

That should cover it.

[Peanut]

*Meanwhile, in the Goldenrod Casino*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Ha! And who said my gambling habit wasn't going to pay off?

firestorm: Congratulations, you can now spend your hard earned tokens on a Pokemon kidnapped from its home, and forced be some prize for people with a crushing addiction.


*Introducing Solid Ronin the Dratini*

Solid Ronin: As soon as I get out, they drag me back in!


*Also, Christian Kitsune evolved into Amphrous*

CK: And just in time for the gym battle too!



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs; Any advice buddy?

Random Dude: This gym leader uses Ice Pokemon. Beat them with your burning ambition!!!

firestorm: What about burning moves?

Random Dude: Those would work too if you had any...

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Burning ambition it is!



Pryce: In my day, we had to catch Pokemon with our hands. Not with these new fangled Pokeball devices. And we had to walk 40 miles to the gym, uphill, in the snow. BOTH WAYS!!!

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs:...I should have seen that coming...



Pryce: I'll teach you young wippersnappers what it means to be a Pokemon trainer!

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: I think its time for you to retire old man...


*firestorm vs. Seel*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs:...and here I was hoping his Pokemon would be as old as he was.

firestorm: Yeah...

Pryce: Seel use *snore*

firestorm:...did he just...

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Yeah...yeah he did...

firestorm: I feel kind of bad about what I'm about to do...

*firestorm uses razor leaf and one hit KO's Seel.*


*CK vs. Dewgong*

Pryce: *Snore*

CK: Um...

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Just...get it over with.

*CK uses thunderpunch and one hit KO's Dewgong*


*Mr. Frodo vs. Pilowswine*

Mr. Frodo: So...I guess this is the easiest gym leader we've ever faced...

Mr. Hat'n'CLogs: Yep

*Mr. Frodo uses Surf and one hit KOs Pilowswine. Mr. Hat'n'Clogs wins and then wakes up Pryce*

Pryce: Huh...ok let's get going Seel!

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Actually sir...I've already beaten you.

Pryce: Oh...



Pryce: Here's the badge. In my day we didn't have--

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: That's nice moving on!

----------------------------------------

*Elsewhere*

???4: Another gym leader down.

???1: I wouldn't put too much stock into this victory. Pryce is...past his prime. What's really impressive is how he defeated Team Rocket and that Red Gyrados. He's surpassing our expectations so far.

???3: You would know Lance, after all, you were there.

Lance: Yes. And I look forward to our next meeting. Mr. Hat'n'Clogs....

[Garland]

I'm glad that turned out so well. Three one-shots is quite impressive.

[Peanut]

I'm glad that turned out so well. Three one-shots is quite impressive.

Believe it or not, but later down the road there is something even more impressive that occurs with some of these same Pokemon. I'm still kind of blown away by it myself.

[TheMewster]

Ooh! Ooh! Can I be a Pokemon? Please? Please? *bats eyes*

[Peanut]

Ooh! Ooh! Can I be a Pokemon? Please? Please? *bats eyes*

Yes. Though there is a little bit of waiting list for female Pokemon (last time I checked) so it could be a while. Anyway back to your regularly scheduled Nuzlocke.
-----------------------

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: One badge to go. And then we can tackle the Elite Four for great justice!

Mechana: Wow, we're almost done.

goldenspines: It feels like our journey just started.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: True, but why delay the inevitable onward too--



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Oh hai Professor Elm. Things are going just fine. I was just about to, you know, finish the Johoto League Challenge.

Professor Elm: That's nice, hey can you do me a quick favor.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Against my better judgment...sure.

Professor Elm: Listen to your radio. Ok bye!



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Oh you have got to be kidding me!



firestorm: I never thought I'd see the day Team Rocket would go into broadcasting.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: I never thought I'd see the day when I'd care what was on Radio. Well folks, let's get started with the inevitable grind...

*cue several, not so interesting battles*


firestorm: I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you.

Rocket Grunt:...



mechana:

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Your cuteness is not very effective.

mechana: Not cool man. Not cool.



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: So what exactly is your grand plan?

Scientist: I'm...not sure.

firestorm: Well at least he's honest.



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Finally, I was begging to think this thing was going to drag on forev--



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: No...



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[goldenspines]

Awww, but Crobat is the cutest of pokemon. D: Too bad for Mech, but still glad to see we're all fighting strong. :>

[Peanut]

*Mr. Hat'n'Clogs vs. Rocket Executive*

Rocket Executive: Team Rocket will prevail no matter what!

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Will you guys ever learn?


*firestorm vs. Koffing*

firestorm: And here I was hoping for a challenge...

*firestorm uses Razor Leaf until he wins*


*Garland vs. Koffing*

Garland: Well if you had not problem then maybe I--

*Garland gets hit with a sludge attack*

Garland: --'ll have a much tougher time...

*Garland wins eventually*


*goldenspines vs. Koffing*

*goldenspines damages the Koffing with Fly, but doesn't kill it.*

Rocket Executive: If I can't beat your Pokemon I'll just have to take them with me! Koffing! Self-Destruct!

goldenspines: Uh-Oh...

*The Koffing gives a salute and then blows up...*


*...as goldenspines flies away*

Mr.Hat'n'Clogs: Well that was effective.


*Mr. Frodo vs. Weezing*

Mr. Frodo: Well, since we know he's willing to sacrifice his own Pokemon, I guess the rest of us are just going to have take them out in one hit!

*Mr. Frodo uses Surf and does a lot of damage to Weezing but...*

Rocket Executive: Take him down Weezing!!!

Mr. Frodo:...crap.

*A massive explosion engulfs Mr. Frodo.*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Mr. Frodo!!!!


*From the blast emerges an enclosed shell. Mr. Frodo used Protect. LIKE A BOSS*

Mr. Frodo: Few, that was a little too close for comfort.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Dude?! How did you...

Mr. Frodo: What can I say, I'm good at hiding in my shell.


*goldenspines vs. Koffing*

goldenspines: This seems familiar.

Rocket Executive: Except this time you'll be the one dying!

*goldenspines flies around the Koffing, avoiding its attacks and eventually wearing it down. goldenspines wins.*



goldenspines: Well there was no explosion this time. So that's different.

*Mr. Hat'n'Clogs is victorious!*



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: So where is he then?

Rocket Executive: Oh we stuck him in our secret hideout in the basement.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs:...basement. So that means...

Rocket Executive: Yeah, you climbed up here for nothing.

Mechana: Team Rocket might be incompetent when it comes to ruling the world. But they do know how to make people waste their time on silly things.

[Peanut]

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Alright, the basement is through this door.

Garland: Let's get this thing over with...



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Oh you have got to be kidding me!

MoonRockDragon: You and these Team Rocket guys think you have it bad. Its nothing compared to what I've been through.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: You know what...I don't care anymore. I could use a good beat down of someone to let off some steam about this whole annoying side quest that's preventing me from progressing towards the Pokemon league, and you're here so let's do this.


*Mr. Hat'n'Clogs vs. MoonRockDragon*

MoonRockDragon: I'll make you and your Pokemon suffer.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Please...I've dealt with stronger then you.


*firestorm vs. Golbat*

MoonRockDragon: I'll give you a taste of my pain.

*Golbat charges firestorm who uses Razor Leaf, injuring it. However, it bites down hard on him*

firestorm: Woah! Not sure if that was his pain but...it definitely was some sort of pain.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Nobody's dying today, get back firestorm!


*ChristianKitsune vs. Golbat*

CK: I'll take it from here.

*CK uses Thunderpunch and launches the Golbat into the next century. CK wins*


*ChristianKitsune vs. Magnemite*

CK: And now I have to fight this dude...well, at least I'm a high enough level to do something to it.

*CK thunderpunches it until it dies.*


*mechana vs. Haunter*

mechana: You know, I've been thinking about something.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Yes?

mechana: If Bite is a physical attack, how come its so effective against Ghost Pokemon? Shouldn't my fangs go right through them?

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: I...you know I'm just going to leave that question be and say, just bite him anyway.

*mechana bites him until he wins*


*Mr. Frodo vs. Sneasel*

Mr. Frodo: Feel the power of my Surf!

*Mr. Frodo washes Sneasel away with Surf*


*Mr. Frodo vs. Quilava*

Mr. Frodo: Same to you!

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: You know, for a former surf slave trying to assert himself as being useful, you still use Surf alot.

Mr. Frodo: That's what happens when you're offensive move set is less then stellar...

*MR. Frodo wins*



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Well for starters, your Pokemon were an average of 6 levels lower then mine.

MoonRockDragon: Maybe Lance was right. Maybe I'm just an overprivledged kid with a minor problem that plenty of people deal with every day.

firestorm: That sounds about accurate.

MoonRockDragon: Nah, that couldn't be the case, I'm truly dealing with something terrible and everyone must suffer because of it.

*MoonRockDragon turns and leaves*

MoonRockDragon: But I'll leave Team Rocket to you since there's nothing I can do about them right now. Make them feel pain Mr. Hat'n'Clogs.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Yeah, but the question is how much pain will they make me feel with their annoying hoops I have to jump through.

[goldenspines]

*...as goldenspines flies away*

ffffffffffffff-YESSSSSS. I can fly~

Also, no bashing Surf. That's one of the best moves one can ever have (at least in the older games).

[Peanut]

Also, no bashing Surf. That's one of the best moves one can ever have (at least in the older games).

I didn't mean to come across that way. I was really trying to just comment on how bad the rest of Mr. Frodo's moves are (besides Protect...).

[Tanman2333]

Pokemon Silver and Gold were my favorite pokemon games.I have heard of nuzlocke before and it sounds like a good challenge that I should try to do since I have pretty much played all the versions.

[Peanut]

Pokemon Silver and Gold were my favorite pokemon games.I have heard of nuzlocke before and it sounds like a good challenge that I should try to do since I have pretty much played all the versions.

Personally I think its the only way to play Pokemon. You don't have to release them if you want to either. I did a Nuzlocke run with Black and just designated a box in my PC as "The Death Box." It was quite full by the end of that game...

[Peanut]

firestorm: Actually, I've always thought of myself as being quite hot.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

goldenspines: That would have been more fitting if you were a fire pokemon.



Rocket Grunt: I mean how am I supposed to choose between 4 moves?! Why couldn't they make it simpler and give us only 1?



Garland: Yes, you did. You blew it. And let down every single one of your family members and friends. Now go off and wallow in self pity while we ruin your organization's plans and get you laid off from this job because of your failure.

Rocket Grunt: That's...terribly mean...

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: He's just mad that he hasn't gotten to stab anyone recently.

firestorm: Hey, where did Garland go?



Garland: AND YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE!!!

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Garland!

*Several more, uninteresting battles later.*



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Yes Mr. Director. Now can you please go back to your job so I can go back to the things I was doing.

Mr. Director: Sure I can go right back...wait...



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: What about it?

Mr. Director: There's still an entire wing being held by Team Rocket!

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: And? I'm pretty sure you could just get the police to clear them out.

Mr. Director: No you don't understand! That's the broadcast wing!

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Ok...

Mr. Director: And with that Team Rocket could continue to broadcast their horrible programs causing our ratings to plummet!

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Not interested at all.

Mr. Director:...or they could use it to broadcast that signal from the Lake of Rage causing every Pokemon in the entire world to go berserk.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: No...ok you have a point there...they could do that.



Mr. Director: I'd rather not be crushed by angry Pokemon...

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Fine...fine I'll do it. But only because I don't want Team Rocket's incompetence to bring about the end of the world...

[Peanut]

*Mr. Hat'n'Clogs came busting up the stairs.*

Female Rocket Executive: Hey your that kid from the lab!

*Mr. Hat'n'Clogs pulls out a pokeball and sends out Garland*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Kill her Garland we don't have any time for epic speeches.

Female Rocket Executive: Well if its a fight you want...


*Rocket Executive vs. Mr. Hat'n'Clogs*


*Garland vs. Arbok*

*The Arbok strikes at Garland who swiftly dodges and uses swift against it.*

Garland: Its going to take more then that to kill me.

*The Arbok catches Garland and bites down on him.*

Garland: GAHH!!!!

*Garland uses swift once more for the victory.*

[Peanut]

Rocket Executive: YOU!

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Yes, me. And this is the last time you guys are going to interfere with my quest for greatness!

*Mr. Hat'n'Clogs vs. Rocket Executive*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: This ends here.


*Garland vs. Houndour*

Garland: BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!!

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: I'm beginning to wonder why I left you as my starter from the previous fight...


*mechana vs. Koffing*

mechana: Its time to get bitey.

*mechana bites the Koffing until it dies*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: We really need to get you some new moves.

mechana: Why bother when this tactic has been so effective?


*Mr. Frodo vs. Houndoom*

Mr. Frodo: Heh, its time for you to feel my--

*Houndoom uses Crunch before Mr. Frodo can finish*

Mr. Frodo:--SURF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*A massive wave of water sweeps over Mr. Frodo and washes over the Houndoom, shattering the windows of the upper office as it cascades over the edge and down to the streets below.*

Mr. Frodo: I guess the only thing that was doomed was that Houndoo--


*Before Mr. Frodo can finish the water clears out revelaing a barely standing Houndoom, who uses Crunch one last time, finishing him off.*

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: FRODO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rocket Executive: I...I've failed you Peanut...I will call it quits and disband Team Rocket.

*The Rocket Executive leaves but Mr. Hat'n'Clogs doesn't notice.*

firestorm: He's gone Mr. Hat'n'Clogs.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


*RIP Mr. Frodo*

[MomentOfInertia]

RIP Mr. Frodo.

I'd like to sign up for this.

[TheMewster]

*sniff* Frodo was a good little surf slave...

[Peanut]

I'd like to sign up for this.

I'll add you to my list then.

----------------------------------------------------------

firestorm: We should go and beat the last gym...its what Mr. Frodo would have wanted.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: You're right...let's get going everyone.



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: I've never believed in this Psychic mumbo jumbo.

firestorm: Why's that?



firestorm: Ah. That's why.



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Anyway, I guess we should replace Mr. Frodo. Though he'll never be replaced in our hearts. Crossfire, you are now a certified surf slave.

crossfire: Oh...I'm...

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Happy? Excited? Ready to fill Mr. Frodo's shoes?

crossfire: Not sure why I signed up for this job.



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Huh, an Ice Path.

goldensipnes: Doesn't that seem a bit dangerous for a major route of travel?

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Well, when you consider that we live in a world where creatures who hold the power of the elements will jump out and attack you while you're walking in grass, no, it really isn't all that dangerous.

goldenspines: Good point.



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: I'm calling false advertisement. I don't see any ice anywh--



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Oh there it is.


*Several annoying ice puzzles later*

Random Person: Did you come through the Ice Path?

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Why yes, we did.

Random Person: Oh that's nice.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: That's...all you have to say?

Random Person: Yeah.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: So you aren't impressed in the slightest that we've made it through a tunnel that clearly limits travel too and from your city?

Random Person: No. Now if you had walked through the Lava Path, while wearing grass skirts and fighting Chuck Norris, then I'd be impressed.

firestorm: Some people set the bar a little too high...



Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Well we've finally made it.

firestorm: Yeah. It's been a long journey Mr. Hats. I'm glad I had the chance to share it with you.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Hey man, don't get all emotional now. We still have the elite four to go through after this. Now isn't the time to be sentimental.

firestorm: True but...you never know whose going to make it through the next challenge. So, I figured, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let you know buddy.

Mr. Hat'n'Clogs: Well...thanks I guess. But I have no intent of letting you or anyone else die. We might have lost a few friends along the way, but we've overcome every obstacle that's been presented to us and I'm sure we can handle whatever this eighth gym leader has in store for us! So let's go guys and show this person exactly who we are!
------------------------------------------------------------------

Alright, the next gym leader is Clair. She has four pokemon and they are all dragon type. So pick my line up from the following Pokemon for this gym and I'll be sure to lay an epic smack down on some dragons with them.

firestorm-Megarium
mechana-Crobat
golenspines-Noctowl
Garland-Togetic
Okami-Bellsprout
SavedGamer-Rattata
FishnChips-Slowbro
Midori-Persian
Kali-Beedrill
Tsukyomi-Tentacool
Jaden Mental-Krabby
Topaz-Shuckle
Crossfire-Poliwag
CK-Flaaffy
Solid Ronin-Dratini

[Garland]

Best things to use on dragons are dragons and ice. Dragon is at least 1x effective against everything except steel. The dragonairs will know various moves to cover other types. According to bulbapedia, it's ice beam, thunderbolt, and surf. Anything with ice punch will be useful, if you can manage that. Your crobat seems rather strong and a poliwrath's ice punch could be quite painful on either of the safe dragonairs (ice beam and surf). Just watch out for thunder wave. Dratini could be an option, although training to a dragonair would be useful and it can learn icy wind too to counter other dragonairs. Until you beat claire, twister is the strongest dragon move that can be gotten unless you want to train dratini to level 50 as a dratini when it learns outrage. Meganium would be fine against Kingdra because of Kingdra's water typing too.

So, I've been meaning to update this for a little while now however, because of an act of my own stupidity, I'm gong to have to put it on hold for an extended period of time. Basically, I did something that caused me to loose my save data. I have a back up but its back after I got the third badge...yeah. Its not impossible to get back to where I was and, essentially, have the exact same team at the close to the same levels, but its going to take a long time to do and, frankly, my will to do it is going to make it take a while. I might, in the mean time, create another Nuzlocke for one of the later games (probably Emerald) to fill the time. I am still planning on finishing this though I'm not going to make any promises. The moral of the story is always have two saves...always.
