My First Pokemon Only Run: Part 7 Aqua and Flanery

So I give the chase to Team Aqua on the top of Mt. Chimney.  They apparently want to use the meteorite to stop the volcano to make a pool or something.  How a meteorite does that?  I don't know, I don't care.  I just beat all of Team Aqua till they surrendered.  Even got to face off against their leader, who's still a joke with a water AND a flying type.  Needless to say, 1 Standchu took on the job quite nicely.

Speaking of easy jobs, I finally had a gym leader fight I didn't have to reset the battle on.  Though looking back the way I did finish the job did look kind-of cheap.

Basically I set up on her first Slugma.  While it was attacking me I got 3-4 X-Specials up and an X-defend though I don't think I even needed the X-defend.  After that, I proceeded to sweep the rest of her team with Thunderbolt.  After that I got the badge.

By the way, 1 Standchu tried to learn Thunder, but I decided to stick with Thunderbolt.  I rather have the better accuracy than hope to get lucky with a stronger attack.

After that Bret, as I said I could call the male rival if I couldn't spell his name, basically told me my character's dad was stronger than me and tried to rub it it... geess do all girls think we guys are as rude as Bret? 

Anyways next time, I'll show him by taking out daddy and his gym. Though that may be a while since I go back to school today and video game-wise, I'm only bringing my DSi which unfortunately can't play GBA games.  Sad, 'cause I'm almost half-way there.

Meh, maybe I'll bring my regular DS as well so I can continue this solo run... maybe not.  We'll see.

My First Pokemon Only Run: Part 6 Stupid Soot

Well not really an eventful part but I've made my way all the way over to Fallarbor Town and battle all the trainers that were in between.

Along the way I wanted to get one of the flutes since I have a feeling they'll come in handy.  So I got the soot bag that you need to collect enough soot to get them and went along my merry way collecting soot from the grass.

Problem is I didn't use a repel because I'm a cheapstake and only had one repel while collecting the grass and ran into a ton of Pokemon.

It at least made a good grinding moment for 1 Standchu, not that he really needed it but less grinding to do later I guess.

After being just a few steps short several times, I finally get enough to get the Yellow Flute.  Never have to worry about running out of Prism Berries again, yay!

Oh, I should probably mention the clock battery or something is dead on my Pokemon Sapphire game so I can't grow berries.  I found this out the hard way went I planted a Leppa Berry way back when 1 Standchu was a Pichu and it never sprouted.  Way to waste a valuable berry. :(

After that, I went into the cave after that town... I was just there and I already forgot what it was called.  Ran into Team Aqua with Cozomo, some scientist that's all, and they got into an fight with Team Magma.

Team Magma are good guys in this game... I guess and bad guys in Ruby while Team Aqua is vice versa.

So even after all that my character didn't even try to stop them so I guess I got to backtrack and go to Mt. Cornet... I hope that's what the place is called, to stop them.

But first, the trainers that are outside the cave.  More unnecessary experience and necessary money, hurray!

After all this Ralts finally learn teleport, which is going to make things much more convenient from now on.  1 Standchu is all the way at Lv.40... I think I may be overleveled... even for an Only Run.  Nothing I can do about it though.
