So with the world of Pokemon safe once more I decide to take on the last Gym Leader of Hoenen, Wallace. With 1Standchu by my side and a single HM slave that was required to get into the gym I'm off.
Now this gym puzzle used to stump me A LOT when I was a kid, yet I was able to figure each section of it on my first try. Guess I'd study the strategy guide so had back in the day that I still remember it today. That or I was just a stupid kid back then. >_> Still, I fell down on purpose so I could train off the gym trainers while I still could. Not sure if 1Standchu still needs the experience but I figure I might as well take the experience and the cash while I still can.
After that, it was time to finally go up face-to face against the gym leader. I'll admit I was caught off guard the first time I fought him. I keep thinking that he had a Ludico, which he only has in Emerald, and was totally not ready for the Wishcast he actually did have which proceeded to KO me as soon as I finished off his Lovdisc.
So second time around I took advantage of the fact that Lovdisc is pretty weak and the worst it can do is confuse and attract Standchu to use a hole bunch of X-items. I believe I used 5 X-Attacks, 5 X-Defense, that item that raises critical hits who's name slips my mind, and 2 X-Specials for good measures. Honestly, it was probably over-kill but hey, better safe than sorry.
Attraction and confusion together is pretty bad but with my Yellow Flute confusion isn't a problem and Attract will go away once I can break through it for a KO. After setting up I proceed to 1-hit KO sweep the rest of his team. Even the Wishcast and even a Milotic. I did use Sweet Kiss just to be on the safe side with Milotic but I probably didn't even need it.
With my flawless victory, flawless in sense of difficulty of the final attempt not really meaning in one attempt, the Rain Badge is mine! I also get the TM for Water Pulse, but I can't really do much with that considering 1 Standchu is my only battling Pokemon.
With that all that remains is the Pokemon League. So first off, back to the mall to stock up on X-Items, I'll probably make quite a bit of use out of them. Then I might double check to see if I have the return TM, and teach it to Standchu if I do, otherwise, I know where to get it. Return with max Friendship is one of the strongest normal-type moves in the game so I think it'll be much more useful than Facade. Maybe I'll look up where to get a Twistedspoon and a Magnet too. I'm surprised I've ran into so few held-items that boost attack in this game. After all that perpetration, it'll be time to head off to the Pokemon League.

Sick + Exam Week = Delays in Videos
Hey there JackitK here. As you may know if you follow me on Twitter, I haven't really been feeling my best lately, and it's to the point that it's affecting my efficiency. Plus I have to admit I didn't really do a good job planning the release of these new LPs since they occur right on my last week of school work for the quarter and I have a lot of class work to get done. I should just say that I'm delaying the release of these and all of my uploads until I get back from break.
However, I've been waiting to release these Let's Plays as much as you guys probably having been waiting to watch them. So this is what I have planned. I'll be releasing the first episode of Golden Sun the Lost Ages and of Mario Party 2 Minigame Coaster Sat. & Sun. respectfully there will be no more uploads the rest of the week.
I may upload one video of each playthrough the week I'm home but because of my home internet connection, if I do upload, it will be of lower quality then I plan on my videos being and I'll only be uploading one GS video, one Mario Party, and one JackitK tries. This is will not be guarentee and depends completely on how I feel and if I can hog the internet at home long enough to even upload a single video.
On the bright-side the week after that, I should be able to go back to my planned schedule of Golden Sun every Sun., Tues., and Thursday while Mario Party 2 gets updated every Mon. & Wed. with the usual JackitK Tries every other Friday.
That is the current plan. I apologize for so many delays on Project Golden Sun and thank you for your patience through all of this. If I make any more changes to this plan, I will be sure to alert you about them through my Twitter at www.twitter.com/Jackitstuff.
I'll try to make this announcement on my Youtube as well later today but in case something happens I have it up here.

My First Pokemon Only Run: Part 16 The Legend of Kygore
So I make it to the city I said I was heading for, Sootoplis yeah, thanks scene I'm about to explain. So I meet up with Steven who introduces me to Walace. Since I have the blue orb I guess its up to me to go into the Cave of Origins to save the day.
Making my way through the cave it starts getting dark. I could get TelePort to use flash. But I don't feel like going back and I can make my way around pretty good in the dark. Sorry TelePort. :(
Stumbling around I happen to find the HM for Waterfall. It turns out Underbelly can learn the move. Hurray for not having to go get another HM slave!
At the very depths of the cave I find Kyogre. I'm not sure if I should catch it or just defeat it. It's not like I'm using it either way. Trying to catch it would be harder but seeing how it gets a critical hit with Ice Beam I don't even want to bother.
So with that I defeated Kyogre and saved the world! Now to backtrack out due to a lack of escape ropes... ._. Well at least I'm able to get 1Standchu to lv. 62 with the experience from all the freakin Zubats. Sorry I was too close to leveling up to resist fighting a couple of them.

My First Pokemon Only Run: Part 15 Into the Dark of a Legendary Lair
So now that we can use the HM Dive outside of battle, before we chase after Team Aqua I decide to go get a Yellow Shard which is needed to trade to an NCP for a Thunderstone. But first a Pokemon that actually can learn Dive. I catch a random Tenacool I decide to call underbelly, he'll be my official Dive slave and hopefully it can learn waterfall so it can be my Waterfall HM slave as well.
Unfortunately I have terrible luck finding said Yellow Shard. After searching around the water area where dive is used and checking the dive spots I could find, I have no luck getting a Yellow Shard. I even search around online following any advice I could with no luck. Thankfully I was able to find a random LPer who just so happen to show off collecting items including the shards. Not exactly a playthrough I'd watch with the time I had but it was still nice to actually be able to follow him around until he collected the shard.
After finally getting that, I then trade the shard for the Thunderstone so now I can evolve 1Standchu whenever/if ever I feel the need for it. But now that I got that, onward after Team Aqua.
Now, you're suppose to follow a really huge dive area around until you find an underwater cave. If your at the right place you'll see the submarine Team Aqua stole there. Dive up and now it's time to pursue the villains and own them, yeah! Unfortunately it's not that easy this time, not because team Aqua is actually a threat now, no there's... strength and current puzzles.
After not realizing strength was needed and forgetting I got rid of strength on 1Standchu. I had to backtrack to get a Pokemon that could learn strength. Thankfully Nanny can learn it so I teach it to him. Besides that, the current puzzle was the worst part. It took a good amount of time and thinking to figure out how to get by the current, and guess what I was rewarded with after getting by that? About 15 rocks blocking my way that I have to carefully move in order to get by. Somehow I got it on my first try though.
With that all that remains between me and the goal of this place is Archie himself. While it could of gone bad it didn't. Mighyena wasn't too bad, though Intimidate was annoying to have. Either way, it went down to a few Thunderbolts after a bit of a healing war. Next up came Crobat since all it really could do to me is use Confuse Ray, I used this moment to get a few X-Specials up just in case. I then used the Yellow Flute to get rid of any confusion I had and finished it off with a Thunderbolt. Last but defiantly not least was Sharpedo. It went down to one Thunderbolt but not before almost KOing 1Standchu with a Slash attack. Thankful it wasn't a critical and I won.
Not like that whole battle mattered, Team Aqua still messed things up by the Red Orb Summoning Kygore making it rain heavily. If this keeps up the whole world will drown. Great job guys. >_< Well only thing that can be done is to head over to Sootopolis city and see if there is anything we can do...

My First Pokemon Only Run: Part 14 Mossdeep City
So I then head towards Mossdeep City, where the next gym is. Actually I get there a lot quicker than I thought I would. Only ran into one trainer on the way there. I do happen to find a King's Rock in town, might make use out of that. I also happen to get the Dive HM. Would be awesome if I had a Pokemon that could learn it and if I didn't have to get the Mossdeep gym badge first. Well since I'm not ready for the gym time to find trainers and a Pokemon that can learn dive. Lucky enough I found a tentacool and I'm pretty sure it can learn surf, dive, and waterfall so I'm holding on to that.
So I managed to make it all the way to Pacifidlog Town. So I then go to the left to try and get any items I can. And I guess experience & money from the trainers is nice. But it doesn't really feel necessary at this point. I'll probably need the experience later on. No yellow shard, which I really want to get so I can get the Thunderstone for 1Standchu. But I did get a Rare Candy, so that'll be useful. I think I've gotten all the items I can, so all I can really do is take on the gym.
So I take out all the trainers of the gym... well most of them at least. Time to heal save and take this on. Now truth be told, going into this gym, I'm worried. The problem, it's a double battle and since it's an Only Run, I'm going into this Gym with just 1Standchu. I got no time to set up with it being a 2 VS one. The good part about the gym is each of the leaders only have one Pokemon so if I can take one of them out it'll be a fair 1 VS 1. The question is, can I take out a Pokemon and live to have that 1 VS 1 match? Let's find out... Wait really? The gym leaders refuse to fight you if you have just one Pokemon? And I just took forever resolving that gym puzzle 2! >_<
That's right it's literally impossible to go through this game with just one Pokemon in your party. (That's stupid.) Don't worry this fight will be as close to an Only Run as I can still. I guess HM Helper will just get a little extra action. Note he's still at Lv.6 so don't worry, he's not gonna be helping in the gym battle too much.
So actually makes the fight slightly easier since there's a target for them to hit besides 1Standchu... oh wait they're at Lv.42 each? I mean 1Standchu is level 60 but still... let's if this works Thunbolt on Solrock. Solrock wastes it's turn doing Sunny day and Lunatone takes out HM Helper. Perfect now to finish Sol...shoot I didn't mean to target Lunatone! So that mistake cost me a burn. No biggy Solrock goes down this time...and Lunatone used Light Screen... what a waste. I'll just heal my health and burn and be good....*1Standchu faints* OK, I should of probably used a Full Restore instead of trying to use a Hyper Potion then a Full Heal...
Round 2:
OK no making stupid mistakes this time, this battle is in the bag! So I did the same thing I did before at the start of the battle this time I manage to paralyze the Solrock and Lunatone goes for a Calm Mind letting HM helper live... umm... OK...well this time I took out Solrock with full health so despite the the special boost I can still...Hypnosis really on the Pokemon I'm actually fighting with? And more Calm Mind spamming did the computer just realize that HM Helper is there for death fodder and is taking advantage of it? ********* Still can't wake 1Standchu up. I should of just used the stupid full heal. Thankfully it woke up just in time to pull off the Sweet Kiss and Lunatone hurt itself in confusion instead of pwning me with a super buff Psychic... I go for the item to raise my critical because with it's current sp.def my thunderbolt is doing nothing... and it breaks through confusion & one-hit-KOs me with Psychic... .__.
Round 3:
OK new plan, Kings Rock on 1Standchu is pointless. I don't got a Magnet though. So I'm giving him a Chesto berry so the last round doesn't repeat itself. So yeah, blah blah I heard this twice already let's just go! So now Solrock does Psychic on Pikachu and Lunatone just Calm Minds... Solrock goes down and only Lunatone remains... again. Go for the Sweet Kiss and hope for confusion hurt which I'm lucky enough to get. I mange to get three thunderbolts in while it's fighting off the confusion and YES I won the battle!
So with that I finally get the Mind Badge... YES! I can use Dive outside of battle, Yellow Shard that'll snag me a Thunderstone, here I come! I also got Calm Mind, can 1Standchu learn it? It would be useful if he...of course he can't learn it. But HM Helper did pick something up... A Full Restore... that could of been helpful. Well, I have it now. So I guess now I'm gonna take a break from this only run and next time I start, I'll finally be able to get a Thunderstone.
So I managed to make it all the way to Pacifidlog Town. So I then go to the left to try and get any items I can. And I guess experience & money from the trainers is nice. But it doesn't really feel necessary at this point. I'll probably need the experience later on. No yellow shard, which I really want to get so I can get the Thunderstone for 1Standchu.

My First Pokemon Only Run: Part 13 Team Aqua Strikes Again
So after my disapointment of a lack of Thunderstones, I headed off to Mt. Pyre. Well not quite, I went pass Mt. Pyre first to collect all the items and fight all the trainers I could in the process.
In the process someone in our dorm derped enough to forget to put a little certain something called water into their EasyMac which set off all the fire alarms, forcing everyone to leave the building. Thankful I had my DS in my hands so I just did a lot of playing of my Only Run while waiting around outside. Wish I could say this was a shocking experience but honestly the fire alarm goes off so often around here from stupid things like that, I don't take fire alarms seriously anymore and these "fire drills" are more of an annoyance than anything else. Like I said, got lots done with the Only Run so I'm not complaining too loud.
So after all that I get back inside to actually go through Mt. Pyre not outside in the cold. There's actually two paths to it, the plot related path and the path with trainers and items. So of course I took the later first, getting a bunch of stuff including the TM for Shadow Ball (can't teach it to 1 Standchu which is a bummer but oh well, I get the feeling his moveset isn't gonna change to much between now and the end of the game).
So after that I took the path up Mt. Pyre I was suppose to take. Guess what guys? Team Aqua has taken over Mt. Pyre! All not one not two not even three but four of their grunts. Whatever shall I... oh yeah Lv.54 Pikachu... that takes care of that. I actually struggled more with organizing my item space for all the items I was getting than over Team Aqua. I ended up catching about 4 ghost Pokemon just to hold items for me until I could get back to the PC. I even used a rare candy just to make room for items. Granted, I made sure it didn't go to waste when I used it but still...
So despite my me handing Team Aqua's butts to them, they still somehow manage to steal an orb from old people. Now this orb is important for something but I don't feel like explaining it all. Just trust me when I say it's relvant to the plot. I get handed the other orb that is suppose to be with it. So I give Team Aqua the other one? I kid, we got to get the orb they stole back.
So being the plot-convenience villains they are they happen to tell me we're they were going before they left, so time to pursuit! So we're at Slateport to stop them from stealing a submarine but being the heroes we are, we fail to stop them. Well, time to Team Aqua's base back at Lilcove. Oh by the way, yes, the bad guys did tell us to go there. I see why Team Magma and Aqua fail so hard now.
So in there I roam around beating all the bad guys and collecting items. *Wanders around a bit* Oh wait Archie I didn't mean to find you yet, I still got to get the Master Ball! ....funny you can walk away from him after the explanation point appears above his head. I never knew that before. So after wandering around I found some more PP restoring items as well as the Master Ball. (Yes Team Aqua leaves a valuable item like a Masterball laying right out in the open, I think we've gotten across how mart they are by now though.) Not that I can actually use it in my Only Run, but there's got to be something I can catch between my 3rd and 4th generation games with it. Maybe even 5th generation if I could transfer items to that game but noooo Nintendo thinks it's cool for me to start all my item collect from scratch. >_>
So I've gotten a ton of rare candies and PP restoring items between my collecting from the beginning of this blog post to now. I'm certainly glad for that since I'll need all the PP restoring items I can get for the Elite Four. I thought I would have to worry about running out of PP for moves, but I think I'll be good especially if there's more of such items to come. By the way, 1Standchu is now at Lv. 57.
Now that I got everything that I wanted, now to take on Archie hopefully he hasn't gotten the idea of running away betw... what do you know he's still there but wait he's actually grunt... his a super grunt or an admin. I honestly wasn't expecting a fight and didn't heal but I'm not too worried not even though 1Standchu is paralyzed. Electrodes, that's how. So just like I though I just Thunderbolt sweep his team, after fighting against the paralysis of course. Oh noz Mightyena Swagger me, but wait I break through a para-fuision to defeat the admin, awesome. :D Not that this fight was any bit of a struggle.
But sadly that guy was just stalling for time too. Archie got away on his "I-don't-know-what-color-submarine", maybe if I didn't try to get all the items in the dungeon first he wouldn't of gotten away. Who am I kidding? It's an RPG time never matters.
Oh and in case you were wondering, yes the super grunt did indeed give-away where Archie was going, though at least he was more vague then all the other advice we've gotten straight from the dumb villain's mouth so far. :P

My First Pokemon Only Run: Part 12 Safari Zone & Shopping with Bret
So first off I finally got the Pokeblock case so I can finally get into the Safari Zone. You may be wondering why I would want to even bother with the Block case in an Only Run. Well basically I looking for more Pikachus. More specifically, one that is holding a Light Ball, a held item that increases Pikachu's special attack.
Now getting this item is a real pain in this game. First I got to find Pikachus in the Safari Zone which is a tedious task in itself just have to scoot around in the grass until you find one which would be fine if they weren't uncommon. Even if you do find one you can't weaken it to catch it, and Pokemon in the Safari Zone can and will run away from you while you throw balls at them. Finally a Pikachu has a real low chance of holding a Light Ball so even if you catch a dozen you may still not get the item.
So after hours in the Safari Zone I come out with 4 Pikachus, 2 of them with Oran Berries and no Light Balls. I guess if I want 1Standchu to get stronger I'll have to evolve it. Speaking of evolving and the Thunderstone, isn't Bret still in front of the Pokemon Mall? I think it's about time I take care of him. But before that, time to stock up on X-items!
So my first attempt is a flop because Marstomp makes all the Xitems I used go to waste with a critical hit Mud Shot. >_<. So I learned the Swellow he sends out likes to spam Double Team which would be great for setting up if it wasn't boosting evasion. But with +2 defense and a critcal hit boost I take Swellow down.
Then comes Marstomp, I get a Sweet Kiss and my guards Spec up so I don't lose too much speed. Then I get lucky enough to take it out with a critcal Facade in one hit. Then comes Shroomish it seem to no longer have Leech Seed so its only threat is through poison. I take advantage of this by getting to more defense boost just in case. Did have to use a Full Restore but besides that not much trouble.
Now last up was his Numel, it went down surprisingly easily. Just one Facade and it hurting itself in confusion in the same turn and Bret was defeated. Now for my prize... all the Xitems I can buy under one roof! Oh and Lemonaid that'll be helpful. But where's the Thunderstones? I could of sworn they sold the elemental stones here. :( If not here, then where? I guess I have some Googling to do...
So apparently I can't get the Thunderstone until I can use dive... that could be a problem. Maybe I should try again to get the Light ball after all...
Now getting this item is a real pain in this game.
