Some of you might wonder about my choice to take back Flafa instead of Wasp. I could write pages comparing and contrasting the two, talking about Venomoth's higher speed and defenses in sacrifice of Beedrill's very useful attack power. It would go into the natures of each, their movesets, and even how the colors of purple and yellow each effect my mood. At the end, I would exclaim THIS IS ALL INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT when all in all it would just be a long and deliberate lie to make me look intelligent.
It may also include a chapter on Google image comparisons.
The real answer is that I have never in my life of playing Pokémon had a Venomoth, and because Flafa was my third Pokémon, I feel a need to train it and measure how much trust I can have in supposedly a very underrated Bug/Poison Pokémon. Leaving Petalburg, I went to the Sandstorm area to start training her. Her defenses were great, but I still had to use the rest of my super potions because it took so long for her to knock out a Pokémon. I moved to the areas by Fallarbor Town to take away the Sandstorm damage and things got easier as she leveled up. Finally, she evolved into a beautiful Venomoth.
With equally beautiful stat boosts.
89 56 39 35 48 41 Venonat Lvl 31
95 62 45 66 60 69 Venomoth Lvl 31
Fun Fact: Before this game, I had never battled with Kingdra or Claydol either. That's part of the reason why Horsea was so appealing as a starter. (I have used Salamence in almost every Emerald run since I got the game)
Eventually, all six of my Pokémon reached level 33, and by that time my brain had successfully brought back all of my memories of being crushed by Norman's gym, again and again. The level jump from Flannery is huge, almost unfair, and his Slaking are annoying and incredibly strong. He has ruined Nuzlocke challenges for not only me, but many of my friends as well, with and without the randomizer. There is a monopoly in trainer-screwing here that must be stopped.
Hey, Polyphemus
"What's up, bro?"
I need you, want to get stronger?
"AWWWW YEAH! Wait, how much stronger?"
You'll see.
-20 minutes later-
Hey, Norman.
"Ah, I've see you beat all of my trainers, fantastic! Don't underestimate me tho-"
Cut the crap, I know your power, and I have something to say to you:
My name is Triton, and one of your trainers killed my Aerodactyl. Prepare to die.
"What the.. dude, I'm your father-"
GO, MACHAMP
Machamp's level: 40 Attack: 128
Norman's Pokémon: Vaporeon level 27
Marill level 29
Voltorb level 27
Ponyta level 31
Norman's Casualties: 4
My Casualties: 0
Switch-outs: 0
Only attack used: Revenge
In memory of all those who suffered under Norman's Pokémon
I GIVE YOU VENGEANCE
Peace be with you.
That was a bit dramatic, but I hope you enjoyed the snippet of dialogue. I thoroughly enjoyed beating Norman and his cronies to a pulp, more so even than that time I took out Team Aqua's whole base with an overpowered Sceptile back in Ruby version.
"Challengers will be hit with Leaf Blade.
Survivors will be hit with Leaf Blade again."
Looool, good times. After leaving the gym in less than good condition, I went to Wally's uncle's house and the man gave me HM 03 Surf. I gave it to Kingdra, turning Water Gun into Tsunami Gun, and went to explore the water routes between Petalburg, Dewford, and Slateport to get companions and train before I head for the routes that lead to Fortree City. Before I left, I noticed the water in Petalburg and remembered that I hadn't yet claimed a Pokémon from this area. I took advantage of surf and caught a cute little female Phanpy and named it Ellie (Ice Age 2). To be continued.. in the ocean!
