Zano
Smash Master
Chapter 1: The adventure begins
So I begin, and my starter pokemon of choice was chimchar, who was nicknamed FOW. My rival Zork of course chooses piplup and challenges me to a battle on the spot. After almost losing the very first battle of the game, I didn't feel too confident about this challenge, considering it would get immensely difficult as it goes on, considering my beliefs prevent me from evolving pokemon. So, I go to see professor Rowan to get my pokedex, and shortly after Dawn showing me how to catch pokemon as if I haven't done this 20,000,000 times already, she gives me much needed pokeballs so I can begin this thing.
I arrive in my first area, thinking my first pokemon is going to be a bidoof, but I managed to find a starly first. This will be quite important as securing a flying type early on will pay off, as I will not have a chance for a while. I named the starly Justin, and continued on. I arrive at the first pokemon trainer you encounter, and man did it not go well. He managed to get a crit on FOW and get him down pretty low. I couldn't try to hope to kill it since it was using quick attack, so I had no choice but to switch out to justin. They exchange blows in starly dittos for a little while, and it gets down to this, my last chance. If I did not win with this hit, quick attack would kill Justin next turn and FOW the following turn, quickly ending my journey before it even starts. I put all my faith into Justin's next tackle, and sure enough he comes through for me and delivers the finishing blow with 3 hp to spare. I quickly rush to the nearest pokemon, and take the necessary precautions to make sure I don't have a close call like that again. It was gonna be a long journey.
Continuing on up to jubilife city, I get my poketech and move up to the area above the city. There, I encounter a shinx that I nicknamed El Campeon. It has intimidate, so I was happy, since that will be very heplful in this run. I then go up into the cave above and catch myself a zubat. If he manages to live long, he will be one of my best pokemon with poison/confusion hax. I named him Bokkie and continued back to Route 203. Unfortunately, I encounter another shinx in this new area. Not caring to name it, I just call it Madoka since it will be useless for now and sit in my party until I need it. I destroy Zork in our second encounter and arrive in Oreburgh city. I'll have to make sure I'm ready for the gym, so training will commence so I'm prepared.
Current Team:
FOW the chimchar lv 12
Justin the Starly lv 11
El Campeon the Shinx lv 11

. Continuing on through the cave, I came to realize a VERY big issue after facing the trainers & wild pokemon in here. All of my attacks, with the exception of rock smash, are ineffective against rock types, and 2 of my pokemon are weak to rock, one of them being the pokemon that knows rock smash, which isn't good in the slightest. This made not catching that geodude even more drastic, as I was very low on options at this point. I made my way to Roark and he returned to the gym, while I made my way out of the mines. I had once chance left, the area right above Oreburgh city.
