Alright, I'm back. I actually have been sitting on part of this for a while, just distracted by other things before doing the write up.
Last we left off, we arrived at Parax Town, which is being terrorized by a chiptune version of "Spooky Scary Skeletons." After finding a skellington also blocking our way west, we are left with no choice but to clear out the Burial Tower.
Wait! The South exit!
Is blocked by a group of assholes fishing in the shallow grass. The Hiker sprite there is also a Route Master we'll have to keep an eye out for when the time comes.
On Route 10, in a Hidden Grotto, we catch Miasmer, named Tampoon. And a Euphoreal I finally stopped lucking out on avoiding, who put up for reader naming(if I ever find the Name Rater, it's in the town to the west, blocked by a Skellyton, and Jews from the north, hopefully it'll be the next one I visit)
Some Pokemon missed on Route 10 I would of liked so much more than the fedora.
We got a CANCER fight coming up, I start preparing by grinding up some Pokemon.
-Just walk away CANCER...
- Nononono, don't you put that shit on me, cocksucker.
- I am going to murder you, and hide your body with the skeletons.
CANCER leads in with a Ayylamo that Kekturk knocks out with a beat up(Kekturk is pretty much the MVP of this episode)
Next up, a Hazmate that Bastard wipes out.
K Fire has little trouble with Arrowite(the evolution of Euphoreal, inclase that influences naming)
Spiteful does big damage to Hosajack, but it takes a risky Shock Wave, knowing it's faster and can't miss...
With no problems what so ever.
Last up is a Deemdow. Kekturk comes back in, chugs some milk, and then one shots him, no problem.
-KEKTURK, HOLD HIM DOWN, DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY!
-GET BACK HERE YOU SISSY, FUCKING FACE ME!
Hey, that wasn't so bad. So, the Pokemon Clover wiki was shut down in January, and I'd mostly been playing blindly out of laziness. However, there is a set of Pastebins that have a lot of the data of the game pulled from it. I was able to look up his Pokemon, and what off type moves they had to prepare. Maybe that whole VR practice compromise won't be needed...
Well maybe we can take out our consensual virgin rage on these asshole skellingtons.
They are everywhere... but they aren't trainers.
If they spot you, they send you to the exit of the floor below. It's a sneaking section, with FireReds smooth and precise movement mechanics... luckily NEWFAG has a Celebi in a bottle to rewind time. Playing this vanilla would be pretty annoying.
Also we have the unidentified ghost mechanic from Gen1. So no new team members yet.
The exorcist, as is everyone in this accursed region, is completely useless.
-Hmm, lvl 37... this shouldn't be too-
- Oh fuck, this is an Alolan Trial!
- That's ok, lemme just check what his move set is... uh under Trainers? No... Encouters? No... Ah shit!
So I prepare with some practice bouts. Spilefree has good Special and Sp Def, crap Defence, and strong type coverage. He one shot almost everything I brought and they were just a few levels lower.
So, with his knowledge I make a game plan. I get 3 Pokemon ready. I'm prepared to lose 2 of them. Each gets a Focus Sash from the First Route Master. I get Kekturk, the Luggage, and /x/ a couple of levels to 35, the only one I don't wanna lose is the Luggage, so he'll be the one I use last and...
Kekturk one shots it with Beat Up... it does only survive thanks to that Focus Sash eating a flame thrower. I probably should be using those things more.
The exorcist teleports us back to Parax Town, which has it's proper theme playing. It's ok, I prefer the song about the anorexics.
Oh, I can turn it back on?
- Awesome, fuck this town.
The exorcist also gives us a Skelecharm, so we go back to the Burial Tower.
There isn't much of interest in the second visit. We catch a Hanginy, named 43 Percent and another to be named, Jarape.
And that ends this episode, just as a reminder I need a name for Euphoreal and Jarape, hopefully they and Bukitlee will get names next time.
