Guh... man, why we gotta battle right now...? This coat gets so heavy when it gets wet...

Roy: Seriously, doll, next town? We're investing in an umbrella. Belphegor can hold it! THEN he'll be useful!
Belphegor: Gonna fukken murder yo~ou~

...I-it looks like a puppy in a Darth Vader mask...

AW YEAH BITCHES, IT'S GO TIME

Also, I suggest you "find" the Dawn Stone at the swamp near Pastoria, since you need surf to get the one in Coronet.

Y-you know, for a poor adventurer, you guys sure are loaded...

"Whoever said we were poor? Adventurin's a good job, mate."

>>6469
And that's why everyone is an wandering trainer in pokemon.

More pricey litter! You'd think, as environmentally savvy as Sinnoh is, windworks and all that, this wouldn't be an issue.

Skittles: OH WELL! Their loss is our gain!

W-wait, what?! O-oh crap! Oh god, is all that dropped stuff yours!? Oh man, I'm sorry, you can have it back, I mean I was just picking it up and--

"Huh!? No! I meant the TM, Payback!"

... ohhhhhhhhh...

>Fiona received TM66!

~Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day...~

Raven: Darlin', are you singin'?

...Uhhhhh... nnnnnno?

Oh shoot! Tried to sneak past him and it didn't work...

>>6475
Bikes aren't known for being silent stalkers of the night.

Especially on wet grass.

...What is it?

Raven: I dunno... But who cares! It's a fightin' type and that means right up my alley!

You know, I never did understand the logic of carrying a single pokemon...

More stuff! ...Although it's kinda muddy... ew...

Saw this as I was going down those stairs and had to backtrack for it. I-it's another one of those weirdo plate things. I think this one is for fighting types. ...these things are super weird...

Fighter Dude: "HIIII-YAAAH!"

AAAH--! Don't DO that! I didn't even see you there!

Raven: More of these weird lookin' things. They go down quick enough, but they keep grinnin' even after they faint. I'm startin' to get all spooky like you, darlin.

Haha. Thanks. >:/

>>6485
HI-YA

>>6482>>6483

MY HEART! SHE IS BREAKING!

Zeus: Alas, it makes me miss the presence of our long forgotten ally!
Roy: He was a good guy wasn't he?
Raven: He'll be missed...

... y-you guys, he's not DEAD, he's just chilling in the box!

>>6490
Playing poker and punching ghosts.

Raven: WELP! This one ain't ol' PLACEHOLD, so I'll take him out in a--

>KER'REVENGE'D

>>6490
After all, we aren't Nuzlockin' this.

>>6493
fuuuuuuuuuu

...O-or not. D:

Roy: I GOT YER BACK, GOOD BUDDY!

>>6493

>>6496
FINISH THE JOB, ROY!

>What will Roy do?

Skittles: Shadow Claw the poor thing to death, apparently.

>>6496
ATTACK IT

...i-is that what I was smelling?

Skittles: Oh, that's just FOUL.

>>6499
I hate that thing.

I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I BRIM WITH HATE FOR IT

>>6502
I take it the evolution also gets no love from you?

>>6502
Why?

A-also? These staravia are EVERYWHERE. I think they smell the food in my bag, I swear...

S'just like when I was ten... I got chased by a flock of starly 'cuz I had popcorn 'till my mom ran 'em off...

Roy: ... WOW, boss.
Belphegor: ... pffffft...

Fun fact: that actually happened to me, but with pigeons. >:|

>>6502
FUCKING MEDITITES, HOW DO THEY WORK?

Roy: W-well--hehehehe--we'll just KO it and--hahahaha--make sure they don't get your food, huh, boss?

STOP LAUGHING! D:< It wasn't funny...

I can still hear you guys snickering shut up it was horrifying I'm amazed I could catch a starly at all okay?! Now cut it out!

>>6504
THE GRIEF THEY CAUSED

FUCK BRAWLY

FUCK HIM TO HELL

>>6506
Same way Dhalsim does.

careful meditation concentrated into powerful physicality.

...You're kidding me. I go through all that trouble to get an abra who only SORTA likes me now and you're telling me kadabra just... hang out in the wild?

Rrrrrr...

>>6511
They're pretty common, too.

>>6509
SURFING AND FIGHTING HAVE NO BUSINESS IN THE SAME GYM!

CRASHER WAKE DOESN'T SURF SO HE DON'T COUNT!

>>6511
Catching an Abra is like a ritual, where boys become men and girls become wom-Wait, you didn't even CATCH him!

O-oh hey! This could come in handy! ...I don't THINK Zeus has this...

Skittles: My goodness, this little path is just full of delightful little goodies...
Roy: Now, see, when you talk like that? That's why no one is sure what fucking gender you are.

... *~* Ace Trainers are so cool looking...

Raven: 'ey! Darlin'? Ask for fashion tips AFTER we beat them down!

>>6517
These two caused me a lot of grief.

D:

Zeus: Why, I do believe these chaps have it out for me! No one appreciates real talent when they see it!
Skittles: Or maybe they DO see it and that's why they're trying to take you out?
Zeus: ...Stupendous!

All right, that's one down!

Belphegor: I don't care if I can't mind crush you I'll just stab you to death with little tiny tiny leaves yeeeeaaah heeehehehe...
Roy: Nice to see you're recovering to your old, creepy as shit self.

>>6521
See, there's a silver liner to Belph's disorder and trauma, he'll be at least slightly useful for Crasher Wake.

>>6520
GLIGAR IS A GROUND TYPE! GET ZEUS OUT OF THERE!

Roy: ...Or not.

That's two! I LOVE Shadow Claw!

Roy: We'll have to thank the crazy ghost bitch if we ever see her again!

>>6524

I am so. SO sorry.

>>6525
Oh god Vaporeon's back sprite looks so retarded.

And the gligar's back in... You know, come to think of it, I don't think I've ever met another trainer who switches out their pokemon like that...

AT!Dennis: "How do you think we got this title?"
AT!May: "And fancy uniform!"

>>6525
Skittles' back sprite looks like a blue Doduo.

>>6522
As long as we're hoping that Bite and Pursuit don't critical.

Skittles: Reeeeeally feeling the hurt here, chief!

S-sorry! Just needed to buy time for...

Raven: Did'ja miss me?
Roy: HAH! Hell yeah! Three more!

Raven: ...Woah.
Roy: Holy shit.

D: I'm flashing back to Hearthome already...

>>6533
See. This is why I hate those two.

>>6534
They're ACE trainers, after all.

Holy cats, that's so loud!

>>6533

AH OH GOD OH GOD NO

Raven: Too loud, apparently--!

Roy!

>>6539
oh nooooo

>>6539
Shiiiit.

Raven!

AT!May: "Oh man, I was hoping for a workout before Veilstone."

Ghk... not again...

Zeus: I can barely hear myself speak!
Skittles: Maybe that's a GOOD thing!

>>6543
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Skittles: ...and maybe not...

Again!?

Skittles: D-don't really like being, you know, backed into a corner like this, chief... Just a, you know, heads up for the future...

You know, this could be worse. That Lickitung could very well be a Lickilicky.

AT!Dennis: "And then there were none."
AT!May: "Nice try though, tiger."

>>6548

Wouldn't being steamrolled by a fully evolved pokemon be less humiliating?

I have got to be the worst trainer ever.

Nurse: "Now don't say that, dear. We all occasionally run into obstructions."

Yeah, well, I do it all the damn time. I have the worst luck, I swear...

Roy: Owwww... Man, I am sick of getting steamrolled.
Skittles: God forsaken "aces." Their uniforms aren't THAT nice.

Okay. Time for some restructuring and grinding. First and foremost, this thing? Gone. Sick of it taking up space where a useful pokemon could go.

Belphegor: FINALLY.

>>6553

Placehold or maybe DON if he's not too underleveled.

Unfortunately, Zeus goes too. I need Kimba to take out that drifblim.

Zeus: No worries, my dear! Why, I'm a Texas Hold 'em Champion in seven states! I'm sure my time here will be lovely!
Kazza: Except SCROOGE CHEATS.
Scrooge: Ye were the one usin' your ESP!

>>6553
I'd go with PLACEHOLD. He's almost a Machoke.

>>6553
That'll help his psychological state quite a bit.

PLACEHOLD: FIONA-SENSEI! THE DAYS HAVE BEEN LONG AND THE NIGHTS LONGER SINCE I WAS ALLOWED TO BATTLE WITH YOU!
Kimba: God, he bitches about it all the time.
PLACEHOLD: I AM A WARRIOR OF JUSTICE! WHAT GOOD IS A WARRIOR WHO CANNOT BATTLE!?

Haha... I missed you too, PLACEHOLD.

>>6557
If there IS 'helping' that thing.

>>6555
Scrooge cheating? Unpossible! He's smarter than the smarties and tougher than the toughies, but cheating is something Scrooge McDuck would never stoop to!

>>6558
:3

{AND NOW FOR A SMALL INTERMISSION WHILE THE PLAYER FEEDS HERSELF AND GRINDS A BIT TO BRING PLACEHOLD BACK UP TO SPEED. REGROUP IN TWENTY MINUTES, RECRUITS. FALL OUT.}

>>6562
BECAUSE CHOKE ON A MILLION DICKS, NURSE

>>6562
All right.

Oh my god, I hate grinding so much... Oh hey a pikablu!

Raven: A whatnow?

Nevermind. Should we get it?

>>6568
Hmm...why not. Only keep her if she has Pure Power, though. Otherwise they aren't worth too much.

>>6568
If you want to fill another empty space on the Pokedex, sure. I don't remember Marill being too useful.

Then again, I haven't used one since the 2nd gen, so what do I know?

...The only time in my life I DON'T want a critical hit. That's it, I'm buying as many lucky charms as I can get my hands on when we get to Veilstone.

>>6568
... Nahhhhh.

O-okay. There they are. Oh man, they totally see me watching them. I bet they think I'm a huge chicken...

PLACEHOLD: You are a chicken with a heart of gold, Fiona-sensei. You can defeat them!

...Thanks. I think.

AT!Maya: "Back again, huh?"

>>6574

BRING IT ON, DUMBFUCKS. I'LL BE ROOTING FIONA ON WITH FEROCITY.

>>6573
MAUL THEIR PRETTY ASSES.
