Saay... no update today. I'm feeling rather melancholic due to... family issues. Stay tuned for boss battle tomorrow.

This statement just made me realize that all the "bosses" in pokemon are just powered up versions of regular enemies. Then I remembered legendaries, so I felt better. I have no idea why I am telling you this.

I meant gym bosses. Who're the boss. Of a gym.

Totally not a mistake on my part!

... I never said you were wrong, or said that the gym leaders weren't bosses. I was just saying that I just realized that all the bosses in Pokemon that aren't legendaries (basically gym leaders and the elite four) are just powered up versions of regular enemies.

Oh. Oh fuck, you guys, she has grass Pokemon. And they do serious damage, apparently. I dunno if we'll win this one!

SERIOUS BUDEW IS SERIOUS!

Okay, now its just starting to get ridiculous.

And at this point, I want to break down and cry over your sheer patheticness as a trainer! Geesh!

Well, at least something came out of this utterly one-sided battle.

Oh woo! Now I can safely cross without having to risk the consequences of, *shock*, GETTING SLIGHTLY WET!

Jump, man! Show that crazy air that you're not afraid of it!

I'm getting the strong impression now that this beret may be making me look like a girl.

Yeah, I never would've thought the beret could do anything but make me look more manly awesome, but thats not what other people seem to think.

Oh yay. A decent Pokemon! You don't know how glad I am to see that.

Scratch that. You're actually worse than the other trainer! At least she managed to take away three times the amount of PP you did!

How... could I keep you waiting? I mean, I knocked out every single Pokemon here in one go with my Staravia

Yes! I bloody well know that! Heck, you already introduced yourself before!

Remember folks, Eterna is latin for "stating the obvious, several times over"

Well DUH! I mean, who couldn't get past your pathetically weak trainers?!

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

FUCK YEAH SPLASH ANIMATION! THIS IS GONNA BE AWESEOME!

...well that was horribly anticlimactic. Couldn't you have used a Pokemon that wasn't, say, ridiculously retarded?

Oh geezus look: you're a grass trainer! You're weak against fire. So for the love of god, why on earth did you use a move that boosts fire attacks by 50%?! You are the worst gym leader ever!

The only thing more insulting than that is that he actually managed to deal damage to NotPidgey. That's a first in this gym!

Okay, I know I'm the manliest man alive, but that is still so irresistibly cute! Makes me sorta not want to have to fight it.

Alright, now I've gone from "awww, so cute" to "OH HOLY CRAP, ITS DOING AN ABRA ON US!"

Of course, magic or no, grass still really really sucks!

See, now we're getting somewhere with the whole "Pokemon that can actually fight" thing!

Damnit! I was one Pokemon away from beating the entire gym with an underlevelled Staravia! I mean, that would've just been absolutely humiliating for her!

Yeah, I think its high time he got some screentime again. BURN, BEAUTIFUL FLOWER POKEMON! KNOW THAT LOOKS HAVE NO PLACE IN A MONFERNO-DOMINATED SOCIETY!

Hey HEY, you used an item when it wasn't your go! I accuse you of cheating!

Switch-out to heal Wukong coz the Wukong needs healan!

And also because I haven't gotten to try out the new Pokes yet/

Well that was... fairly expected. I mean, the Gastly was well under that Roserade's level, I'm not so foolish to think that it could win simply by being a Gastly.

Now if it was a Haunter though...

And thats what I get for trying to support equality. Back to the heavy-hitters for me!

Ah yes, the tired-but-true method of using your starter Pokemon rather than anyone that can actually be useful later on in the game. The ideal strategy!

Well FUCK YOU! Gardenia? More like GardenICanUseItemsToo!

Hm. Honestly, I didn't think my comment was all that great. But apparently the game thought it a real Zinger!

Once again, Wukong nearly gets himself killed fighting a walking flower. I'm beginning to think he's not all he's shaped up to be.

Your dark leaf magics is no match for... A PUPPY!

IT'S STILL A GODDAM PUPPY!

Y'know you've got a good Pokemon when the opponent just falls over dead as soon as you send it out!

Yup, that's Pokemon for ya. When your puppy kills a humanoid flower, your monkey learns how to shape fire into a circle.

HOLY CRAP THATSA LOTTA cheddar! I MEAN, GEEZUS DO YOU HAVE YOUR OWN PRINTING PRESS OR SOMETHING?!

Oh I get it. Its to do with the whole "green" thing isn't it.

Actually, what colour are Pokedollars anyway? I never actually see them, just an odd box on my trainers license that tells me how much I have.

How does it show that anyway?

Wootinary of the highest degree!

I've now got two of the necessary eight badges! Somehow, I can't think of a witty comment to go with that!

So, let me get this straight. You love fauna. If someone manages to beat you, you give them a badge. An item that allows them to cut down fauna with ease.

This is the logic of the grass trainer!

Gee, girls sure do like giving me gifts!

Well, except for that one guy. The really burly tough guy.

This is going straight to Ebay!

Right... question: why did you use it on my Gastly then? I mean that guy is the lightest Pokemon ever discovered!

One last stop on the clock that never tells the right time, and we're off!

Ah, Pokemon centers. I go to these places more often than I do to home.

Although I only actually went home twice.

I am the worst child EVER!

So anyway, now that I can cut down those shrubs, now lets go and...

DESTROY EVERY TREE IN THIS GOD FORSAKEN FOREST! MWAHAHAHAH!

Oh hey. Y'know, if I had divided updates into chapters (which I may well do, if I ever archive this), this episode would be the last one of Chapter 2, out of 10. That seems like a good marker!

Also, why is the thread far more active on days that I DON'T post an update than days I do?!

Gardenia used Grass Knot on your Gastly?

OH LAWL. How'd it faint then?

There was that Miasma in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Only thing I can think of.
