Acottontail's probally a journal

Hello I'm ACottontail and I am going to start the most boring part of this Shiny Scramble, setting up the Shiny part of it. So I load up SoulSliver to get this started. *Looks at box* Wait a minute is sliver spelt silver!? How many times have I messed up this spelling before? *Thinks back to the Delphox I nicknamed* No wonder Pokemon kept mispronouncing his name at those press conferences. Anyway I am going to need Pokemon to test the Cute Charm glitch on my Pearl save. I am going with Igglybuff as they evolve into my favorite Pokemon Jigglypuff. But yet again Igglybuff annoy me. They ruined my favorite pokemon's evolution line forever! Forever cursing Jigglypuff to evolve from Igglypuff instead of it greeting you from the egg. What's up with that!? Anyway I start the game. There is a Drowzee following me. You know what that means? It's the modest Drowzee my sister gave me. He is my prime headbutter pokemon! Let's see what he has to say. "ACottontail I'm a bit dizzy right now. Maybe we could take a break, but I'll keep going if you want me to." "Don't worry Drowzee, we are heading to a Pokemon center!" We then rested at the Pokemon center. "Thanks ACottontail. That felt nice." said Drowzee. Anyway on to the important part, seeing if my younger self was sensible enough to have any cute Jigglypuffs in my PC. Looking in there I see there is no search function. Man you don't miss little things like that until you play older gens where they aren't there. Ah yes I see a lonely Jigglypuff with cute charm in box 18 of my PC. Younger ACottontail was sensible. I am kind of tempted to make her my cute charm Pokemon. But yet again she is level 17 and would probably break the early game. Anyway looking in my boxes I see I have 6 members of the Weedle line in box 1 of my PC but I only have one Jigglypuff. This is outrageous! I don't see any Dittos in there either. This is outrageous! So let's see Jigglypuff is in the Fairy egg group. Man why is the first 4 Pokemon I see from the egg group all females. Good I have a male Hoppip. I put two of my team into the PC and take out Jigglypuff and Hopip. I use my Dotrio Canmine to fly to the daycare. That reminds me. I once put a Dratiti and Drowzee together in the daycare in hopes of getting an egg. I didn't really understand Pokemon that much back then but now I do! Anyway I walk with my partner Bayleef to the Daycare. I take such good care of my Pokemon that Bayleef is glowing with health. Wait, does that mean he is evolving? But he already is a Megaium. Is he mega evolving in a gen 4 game? I don't know. Anyway I talk to the old man who says my Ditto is doing just fine. Wait so I do have a Ditto. That actually makes sense. Anyway I ditch the Hoppip in the PC and put Jigglypuff in the daycare. Let's see how do Jigglypuff and Ditto get along? "They don't like each other that much" I can only imagine what I happening. Ditto:"Hey lady." Jigglypuff:"Back away I am a lone wolf." Ditto:"But shouldn't we get to know each other?" Jigglypuff:"Looooonnnnneeeee wwwwwwwoooooollllllfffffff!!!!!!" Ditto:*Backs away* "Alright then..." Anyway it is time I run around with my Bayleef in hopes of egging a Igglybuff of each gender, go! Argg this is taking to long. Bayleef said "But we only walked up and down route 34 once and you are already bored? Come on! It's great exercise!" I've never been that active of a person. While I would like to keep Bayleef following me this is taking to long. Bike time it is! I go up and down, the daycare guy fails to call me, and there is an egg! But for the second egg he does call me. Anyway I just need to hatch these eggs. While I am riding the daycare man calls me about another egg, as I am in his line of vision. Dude you could have just shouted at me. What is the point of using a phone if we are only 5 feet away from each other? Hey a girl Igglypuff's egg hatched. I am going to call you Teste. I hatch the other Igglybuff and it is a girl. Come on, I may need a guy for this glitch to work. I put Teste in the PC and I shove the other Igglybuff into there. Okay take 2. You know another thing I miss from latter gens, the Daycare man turning around when there is an egg. Also is it just me or is the text just so slow! I mean talking to the man without an egg takes so long! Wait I think the old man just turned around. So does that happen in gen 4? I am not 100% sure. Yes I hatched a guy! I named him Texte. Oh by the way both Igglybuffs don't have any attacking moves and get their first damaging move at level 9. Why. Who's idea was this. Anyway with that out of the way it is time for part two of preparations, getting the right secret ID. Anyway looking at my Pearl cartage I see it is thinner and lighter than my SoulSilver cartage. It is also weird to get out of my DS. Does this mean that this version of Pearl is a bootleg? I don't really care as long as it works, besides I did get it for my birthday. I didn't mean to get a bootleg if it is one. I started it up before and it went to the this is the world of Pokemon speech so it must be okay enough to play. Anyway it is time to read and watch videos on how to get up this glitch. I'll try for the adamant nature group as it is +atk -Satk though I am fine with any as long as I get shinys. Also 3 is my luck number and the PID for adamant is 00000003. So I download RNG reporter. I open it and it is not responding. That's state of the art technology for you. But after a second it works. Oh god I have zero idea what I am doing with this program, but I need to open something called pandora's box. Okay found it and wow this looks intimidating. But it will all be worth it to get so many shinys on a probably slightly bootleged version of pearl. Or maybe the people who made it got lazy while making the cartages. I don't know. Okay I am apparently using a different version than in the first video I watched, also it keeps giving me errors when I try to close it, so I close it with task manager. So I found a video that explains how to do it a cheaty way. Checking a number isn't cheating, right? It's just slightly altering the game's code to save some time. Ooo apparently it skips the RNG stuff all together in favor of using an action replay to change your secret ID. This is perfect as I have an action replay! Anyway it's just changing a single number that could have also be accomplished via RNGing but I have an action replay and I am lazy so let's go! Anyway the video I'm using for this can be found here. Still could this be considered cheating... Well it is technically possible through RNG so it is possible without cheating. So by my definition it is not blatant cheating. Well except for the Jigglypuff in the wild part, you can not get Jigglypuffs in that area so that is blatant cheating. Good thing I went through the effort to hatch two Igglybuffs to test this. I start up my totally legit copy of Pearl. Ah yes man standing in the dark. It is very nice to meet you to. Thank you for welcoming me but I already know the basics, and the not so basics, and the glitches. Ah now you turn on the lights. I guess they were off before to save electricity. How much funding do Pokemon labs get anyway? Two 10 year old kids to catch Pokemon? Everyone calls you the Pokemon professor? Does that not get confusing with Oak and Elm? No dude this isn't my first adventure, I've been playing Pokemon games since 2010. Ah it is nice to give me the option of no info needed. Cue him telling me there are Pokemon. Dude I just said there is no info needed, why are you telling me stuff any person who read the cover should know? Okay you can touch a Pokeball to send out one of his Pokemon. That is actually pretty cool. Ah yes it's a Muchlax. How much sanity did you lose hunting it down? Or did you do what any reasonable person would do and breed it from Snorelax? Still Muchlax looks cute sleeping next to the professor. Now let me start instead of yammering about the basics I already know. Aw... his Muchlax disappeared. Wait can you not tell my gender from my long flowing hair? I am a girl. Seriously why do professors keep asking me this? I thought they were suppost to be smart. I guess professor Rowan would really struggle to evolve Combee as he would keep trying to level up a male one not knowing the difference from a female. What is my name? Shiny, Shiny Glitch Pearl. But you can just use my first name. Ah yes that is my friend. Don't you know his name is Berry? Man have you ever watched the anime Rowan? Or was it Barry? I cuold nveer speel verry goood. Blah blah blah just let me get to the saving part already. Okay so I'm watching tv. I heard that my shiny Gyarados Gyara was on. Darn she showed up late and didn't air. You know if you wanted to see a red Gyarados you could just call my SoulSilver counterpart about top percentage Ratatas and ask her to come. Or you could wait for the part where I catch a shiny Gyarados in this playthrough. Okay so I save. (warning tons of researchy stuff ahead, skip to next paragraph if you don't care) Action replay time! While I could try to do this the 100% honest way but I want to put the action replay I have to good use. This is the only time I will ever use it in this play through so let's go! Ah the action replay goes in and out of my DS so smoothly unlike my Pokemon Pearl cartage. In fact I am tempted to use it after hacking without any hacks on just so I don't have to go through the hassle of taking the Pearl cartage out of the system. Okay that one number they said in the video I do not see anywhere in my DSI action replay, which I am using for my DS. Okay scratch that (pun intended) I was looking to do this with a shorter video but alas looks like I'll watch the 18ish minute one. It is this video. I will be using what they claim is the "You're cheating" method but I just see it as slightly altering the game's code to save time. I could do the same thing via RNG but that looked confusing and I am impatient. Besides it isn't cheating for 100% chance shiny Pokemon, it's cheating to change a secret PID number which isn't as drastic, right? Besides I've only really cheated for Exp x2, a ton of money I'll never use and a bunch of TMs because why not. The only game I've cheated like crazy on was the legendary Starfy where, okay even by my definition it was cheating via invincibility. Okay got Pokesav for only 1 code at the start of the game before I even get any Pokemon. And It's an .rar file. You know between typing this and finding a code for this to work it's kind of like spending hours RNGing for the right secret PID right? ACottontail keep telling yourself that. Okay I turn it into an exe. It is giving me a virus warning, time to investigate. I think it may be because it's from the unknown publisher, and I saw on the forum I got it from that virus detectors accidentally mark it as a virus. After some research I see from 3 sources that it is a false alarm so I run the program. And it can't run on my PC. Darn! How hard is it to just find a code to change your secret and trainer ID to pull off a glitch that doesn't even always give you shinys. Okay I can't actually find the code. This means one thing. I will do this the semi legit way. Okay that video does not explain how to RNG your trainer ID numbers. If I am going to do this without hacking for it I am going to do this the RNG way. Time to reference a third video! I'm not going to link it cause language. Anyway apparently I need version 9.95 of RNG reporter and I need Eon timer. Anyway I will try for an ID of 00003. Oh and I just found out that from the 2nd video there is no link to the code they are saying to use, and I need to press L when the L button on my DS is broken. Wow I can't believe I went from wanting to do this via hacks to doing this the honest way with RNG abuse. And wow this is becoming a wall a text. Still I got to say Eontimer looks really nice. It has a Glaceon on it and it even has it's - and X buttons blend in with the background. It even has a pin tool which is super nice. I wish RNG reporter could be this nice. I think I am slowly starting to understand this thanks to Smogon. This is so confusing! I need a kirby break. *One true arena in Kirby's return to dreamland latter*. Okay I read through it and I think I almost understand what I am doing. Okay so version 9.95 of RNG reporter makes sense with the guides. Okay so apparently having 00003 secret and trainer ID is impossible. Next I try 22322. Okay so the closest I got with that is the IDs being 4000 off. I need around the 10 range in order for this to work from what I have read. This will take a while. Okay I just realized my mistake and okay I got a ton of IDs that I could use. I'm going for a 30899 trainer ID 30898 secret ID seed. I don't even need hacks to know if it worked as I know I have messed up if I don't get 30899 as my trainer ID. Okay for the sake of this glitch I need it to be in the middle of the night on June first. Makes a ton of sense I know. Okay so I have to restart my game and try again. I'll let you know in the next paragraph when I sucessfully get the trainer ID I'm looking for. My first attempt I did not have enough time. I practice naming my trainer shiny and my rival barry. Because I can not do this in 5000ish frames I go on to 7000ish frames. Okay I find one where both IDs are 38577. Take 2! It is now tomorrow morning for the stake of this glitch. After practicing typing in names some more I do the attempt. So during my first attempt I get a trainer ID of 58395. Hurray I failed horribly! Time to try again. And great the year I am typing in for the retry is invalid. Alas I am unable to pull of the glitch. But this is not the end of this run. I will try again tomorrow. Okay so I was given the link to the latest verison from Shiny Finder. Yes I joined Smogon just to get help setting this up. Okay take 3 let's go! Failed, try 4 go! Well I got 37379 which looks close but I bet is very far off in terms of this glitch. Okay at third I think I was 8 frames off and now I am 6 frames off. Also the SID of this will not work at all for the cute charm glitch so let's try again. Take five! Failed again. Let's see how much I missed it by this time. Okay I messed up my EonTimer. Time to go back to where I was before. I am going to keep trying with this calibration until I get it right. Take six! Wait I started the game to earily. Take seven! It's a fail. Which frame did I get to? It does not say! Anyway take 8. And I got an ID of 04331 at a frame of 1714. Wait am I doing this right? I check the seed and wow it's not even close to what I typed in. I feel like I may be doing this wrong so I reread the guide. So it turns out I have been forgetting to subtract 2 minutes from my time. Okay so none of those tries could have even gotten this, or did I forget at some point? Okay try 9. I set my Eontimer's calibration back to 600. And I forget about the first timing. Try 10. I get 47577 okay I could have either hit 6845 or 6978. Ahh I am so confused. But at the same time I sort of understand what I am doing. Try 11 let's go! And I mess up the first timer timing. Man why do I keep forgetting to wait for the first timer to finish before starting my game. Anyway let's take 12. I get an ID of 18376 at the frame of great, two numbers showed up again. Take 13. I get 01610 or a frame of 7000. Finally! Only one number shows up. This means I can finally correctly calibrate my Eontimer! My new correct calibration is 574. Okay take 14. I got 27741 or frame 7026... Okay I know I am doing something wrong here. It feels so bad to have finally got the frame you are looking for but then mess something else up to get the wrong IDs. I check where it can spawn and it is between 4/30 and 5/22. What the heck this makes no sense. Okay I found out I was doing this wrong. I was starting Eon Timer when the second hand on the DS clock when I should have done it as I set the time. Okay try 15 let's go. I hope I get it on 16 as I need 15 to recalibrate the Eon Timer. Oh I almost forgot to subtract two minutes from my time, well that would have ended in failure. Good thing I caught it. Okay I got a trainer ID of 63497 which means I hit frame 7014. Okay let's try 16. I get ID 46276 or frame either 6883 or 7002. Okay try 17. ID 61510, frame 7010. Okay try 18. I'm going to recalibrate the Eon Timer now. The timer appears to end and has it's alarm time at seemingly two different times which I feel like are throwing me off. From now on I only listen to that final beep. Come on ACottontail I got this yesterday the wrong way, I can get it today the right way. I get 03296 or frame 6996. Try 19. 63517 or frame 6916. What, what is this. I think I may have hit it a little to late, or did I? Since I think I hit it too late and somehow got an earlier delay I recalibrate eon timer. Try 20. I get 59496 or frame 7154. Okay I am way off. Maybe it was a bad idea to recalibrate Eon Timer twice. Okay try 21 will be to get a correct calibration. I set alerts to 1 so none of that pre ticking will throw me off. Okay what was that? Eon Timer Beeped like 5 seconds after the count down. I decide to test for the best sound. Okay so Eon Timer lags to beep if I put the warnings at one. Okay default 6 it is then. Wait there is the frequency of actions in millisceonds, I try setting it to one with 1 action. It still lags. Okay I close and open Eon Timer as it's beep timing is off for the first timer. Okay I am setting things to 1 beep one 1 milisecond and hoping for the best via watching the timer. Anyway try 21 go! Okay so booth beeps are inconsistent. Come on eye sight, don't let me down. I need glasses to see far, so I have wonderful eye sight. Anyway I get ID 16891 frame err. There is three results. Time for try 22. And I forget about the first timer... Try 23. ID 05938 delay 7026, with my timing off by one second. Still I just realized there are seconds for the seed finder so I can find seeds when there are multiple, and know when my timing is off by seconds. Try 24. Id 02743 frame 7008. Yay, I am getting close. Try 25. I got ID 17809, delay 7020. Okay I am getting closer. Just 3 more frames and I will get the IDs! Try 26. I get 38590. Is, is this it? I honesty forgot what I was searching for at this point except for the fact it began with 3. Good thing I wrote it down. No no it is not. I got delay 7052 and 24 seconds. Okay I am way off this time. Try 27. 26520 or frame 7022. I am getting closer. Just 2 more frames. It would be funny if it took my next attempt to get 7024 and on my next attempt get 7026, what I have been searching for this entire time. Try 28. And I forget about the first timer again. Try 29. ID 06734 frame 7049 second 24. Okay I was way off on that one. Try 30. ID 23209 frame 6970 second 22. That was to early. Try 31. 03538 frame 7028 24 seconds. Man just over. Try 32. Forgot first timer again. Try 33. ID 05938 frame 7026 second 24? OH COME ON. JUST LET ME GET THIS ID SO I CAN DO THIS PLAYTHROUGH. Huff, okay then, try 34. ID 38577, delay 2026, second 23. YES FINALLY. I finally got the IDs I was looking for. Finally, finally, I can do this Scramble! After celebrating my victory and saving I look around my room. Let's see there is a tree in a pink pot. I think it isn't knee high. Hey look my Personal Computer. Time to spend hours looking up how to do the cute charm glitch and RNGing it. Oh wait... So I see the basics of Pokemon. Professor Rowan you already told me that, you don't have to sneak into my room while I'm not there and write it in a notepad document on my PC. I see my Wii, controlled by a wii remote game cube controller. There I fixed that sentence. But wait I use the wii remote for Kirby's Return to Dreamland's true Arena. I guess that is one of the few exceptions. I have a rug. I wonder if there is a hidden item in here. *Checks* What is this? A Masterball... drawing I did when I was 5. Boring, next. I have a bed. I proceed to clip into the side of it a bit. Oh no I bent time to my will so much space is starting to warp. I save again and head downstairs. I might have saved before but did I really save? I spent hours on getting to this point, my bedroom. Okay that sounds underwhelming without context. As I save I run into a poster, "The X button opens the menu." Wow I would have never guessed. Mom:Shiny! Me:Where! where? Mom:You remember that's your own name right. Me: Oh yeah, that was right... Mom:Anway Barry came calling for you a little while ago. I don't know what it is about,but he said it was an emergency. Something about someone bending the space-time continuum just to get some shiny Pokemon. Me:Heh Heh, I wonder who that could be... Mom:Ah you know how Barry is, he ran off before I could ask him what it was about. "Okay" I said. Okay I will come over right after I watch some TV. Let's see someone named Brooke won the cute contest. Man all they showed was a close up of the reporter saying that. Man that is boring. Anyway let me check the fridge for a snack real quick. Man it's only filled with raisin cake, Shiny's mom sure loves raisin cake. Anyway time to go outside! Mom:Oh yes! Shiny! Don't go into the tall grass, Wild Pokemon might attack you. It would be okay if you sent out your own Pokemon to beat up random wild Pokemon you come across but you don't. So... Me:Relax, I think I can handle a few birds, crickets and lions by myself. Mom:You just heard yourself, right? Me:Yep. Mom:Goodbye Shiny! Take care! Don't go in the tall grass! Okay so with that out of the way we all know what I should do first outside, step in the tall grass. Man life without running shoes is slow, like as slow as a Shuckle. Man:Hiya Shiny, Barry was looking for you. Me: Do I know you? Man:Yeah, you should check it out. Well I would but I am to busy wanting to poke electric lion cubs with sticks. Darn the guy won't let me through. I guess I will walk over to Barry's, with looking everywhere in town but his house first. Or at least that was my plan, until I realized no running shoes. Man you don't miss stuff until it's gone. Let me check this mailbox. "Railroad house" Alright then. OW! Barry why. Barry:What was that about?! Me:You ran into me. Barry:Oh Hey Shiny! I'm going to the lake. Come too, And be quick about it! Okay, I'm fining you $1 million if you're late. Me: Well I probably was heading there until I got railroaded to visit you. If you fine me for being late I'll take this to court with that railroady guy. Barry: Oh jeez! Thank you for talking to me, I almost forgot something. *Goes indoors* Man leaving in the middle of a conversation, rude! Anyway I go into his house. Hey look a TV is on. Is that a Pokemon battle? Ooo they are doing an in depth analysis of trainers. And all they say is that they need help. Dude why waste poke to have a show on TV just to say you need help when you can advertise on some social media for free? Anyway I go up stairs. Great all he tells me is that I'll get a $10 million fine if I'm late. That is the last time I am checking to see you're alright. Every time I do you just threaten to fine me. Anyway I take a few of his wii games, go home, and hide them in the jors next to my PC. It's just that moment when you misspell a word so much that even autocorrect or the red squiggles can't fix it. Anyway now it is time to go into tall grass. Still is that railroading guy stalking Barry? Anyway I can see the grass now! Barry: you saw that news report on TV right? Me:Yep. Barry:That got me thinking. Our local lake has Pokemon like that too in it, right? Me:When I'm through with it, will. Barry:So we should find a Pokemon like that. Me:What do you mean we? I am the one who did research and RNGing for hours to get this cute charm glitch to work. If any one get's shinys it's going to be me, and by that I mean boxes full of them. Anway Barry is following me now. This is the perfect time to poke a Shinx with a stick. I'll poke it while Barry is bait. We make quite a good team. Anyway my plan is foiled by Barry repeating what Shiny's Mom said every single time I try to walk into tall grass. Wait how does he know what she said? Was he stalking me? Anyway I follow the train tracks to the left. Hey look the professor and Lucas is watching the lake. Are they enjoying sightseeing or are they full odds shiny hunting like Barry? Anyway the professor leaves his brief case behind. Barry:Hey Shiny check it out. Me:I see the professor's brief case! I bet there are Pokemon in there. Let's rescue them! The professor abandoned three poor pokemon in cold metal spheres. I'll take the Pipup for now and you can have the rest. Random period swarm: Don't go in the tall grass. Barry: are you thinking what I'm thinking. We take it quick enough that no wild Pokemon can maim us. Me:I like that plan. We went to the brief case. But some Starly swarmed us. Barry: Po po pokemon Me:Man Barry how many times do I have to tell you. Don't back flying type seed if you are going to be afraid of a few little birds. Anyway I took the Piplup from the brief case. Oh sorry game I mean PIPLUP. This Piplup is just temporary until I start my Scramble at the first Pokemon center. Alright first battle of the game. Aw PIPLUP is kind of cute. Too bad that won't last through evolution. Good thing I'll be ditching Piplup before that happens. Anyway Piplup beat up that Starly, oh sorry game, STARLY until this battle is over. Why does the game love to shout the names of Pokemon. The Starly used growl, great my 3HKO probably became a 4HKO or something. Anyway I 3HKO Starly with health 19 remaining. Man this Piplup may be my strongest Pokemon while it is level 5. *thinks about how Igglybuff if I am given one doesn't learn pound until level 9 and Buguitar doesn't learn a non bide damaging move until level 10* Anyway Lucas is distant and just takes the brief case. But we do get to keep the Pokemon though. Barry:You go ahead. I know we have to return these Pokemon. But I want to spend just a little more time with the little guy. Aw that was cute. You actually care about your starter Pokemon. I was just going to get rid of mine after the first Pokemon center, or until I get Buguitar if I get Igglybuff's line. Anyway I'm going to ask Shiny'sMom to heal the one damage from the Piplup and then I will head to the next town, which hopefully has a Pokemon center so I can just start this Scramble already. Oh wait the guy who needed me to say my gender and name 34 times and his cold assistant are blocking the way. I check PIPLUP's summary and it turns out he magically healed himself after battle. Man why don't starters always do that. Professsor:I've heard from Lucas you used our Pokemon. Me:Yep. If you let me borrow it for a day or two I can give it back. I just need to set up this Scramble. Professor:Very well then. Meet me at my lab latter okay? *Leaves* Barry:Wait he didn't yell at us? Doesn't he want his Pokemon back? I guess we should go home. So we go home. Anyway I tell her what happened. My mother says some obvious stuff, go to Sandgem town, visit professor, pretend you don't support team Skull. Mom:Also I know put these on! And just like that I obtained the power of running. This is great, and wait is that town really called Sandgem down. Man what kind of lazy naming is that? What's next, there is a fire bird with sharp talons, are we going to call that Flametalon. Oh wait... Anyway Shiny's Mom proceeds to read the instructions. She mentions the B button like it's nothing. What did I tell her about breaking the 4th wall? Anyway it is time I walk to Sandgem town. I want to battle as few Pokemon as I can on the way there so there are more fights for my Scramblemons. Ah running feels so nice. I don't see how gen 4 can be slow if you can just hold down B all the time. Anyway stealth mission time. Adviod all trainers on route 201 for my Scramble team. Trainers spotted:1 Trainers fought:0. I beat up any wild Pokemon in my way just because I can. Wild Pokemon fought:1, I ran into a starly that only used growl. Talk to everyone you see the sign says. But making eye contact is how you start battles, which I am trying to avoid. Trainers spotted:2. Wild Pokemon fought:2, a Bidoof appeared. Piplup took 6 damage but grew to level 6. Trainers spotted:4, well I am just assuming every trainer not in a town is a trainer until I start the Scramble. Anyway I made it to Sandgem town with zero trainers fought. Lucas:I've been waiting for you. I want you to come with me. Oh no he figured me out! Oh wait the professor wants to see me. THUD! Great Barry crashed into me again. Barry:That old dude isn't that scary, anyway I'm out of here. Still is it just me or does Barry seem like the sort of person who would speed run Pearl. We enter the lab and the professor is in complete silence. Anyway he gifts me a Piplup. Anyway I name the Puplup Tempt. Rowan:Your friend Barry told me about what happened in the lake. You battled rather well despite it being your first time. Me:First time? Well excuse me. I have been battling Pokemon for at least 8 years. I know about EVs, IVs and RNGing for this cute charm glitch so if you think this is my first time. Rowan:Erm... I entrust you with Piplup. Lucas:I'm glad your kind with Pokemon. If you weren't well... I don't even want to think about it. Let's see I'm going to shove this Piplup in the PC forever shortly after getting a cute charm scramble pokemon. I am very kind with pokemon... usually. Rowan:Anyway let's move onto the main topic. There is something I want you to do for me. I want you to record the data of the Pokemon of Sinnoh for me. Can you do that? Still I wonder what would happen if I said no... Me: Sure. And I can do you one better. I can fill the shiny dex. Anyone can complete a Pokedex, but only a few can help you with the shiny dex. Rowan:Hm! Good answer. Wait what was that again? Could you tell me your answer 34 more times? Me:Arrg I don't have time for this. Anyway some talking happens. And now for the best part of Sandgem town, the Pokemon center! However I am interrupted by Lucas explaining the basics. Don't tell me that is a Pokemon center, let me use the center to test Texte and Teste as cute charmers. Also I think he is color blind. He is telling me the building with a red roof is the Pokemon center when it is orange. Or am I color blind? That would explain why so many people say people have red hair when it is orange. And he forgets to say the most important second most important thing about pokemon centers, you can trade pokemon in them. And he calls me a rookie. This is outrageous! I have been playing pokemon main series games for 8 years, if anything I am... err... I wouldn't say I am an expert because I am only okay at competitive battling but at the same time I am very far from being a rookie. So I head into the pokemart. I buy 10 pokeballs. I only have 1000 poke but I don't remember ever using the pokemart for anything but pokeballs. Anyway I go into the tall grass to catch a Pokemon to replace with my cute charm tester. Anyway I catch a Bidoof. Wait does this violate my I unless a Pokemon can only be one gender or is genderless I may only catch it if it is shiny rule? Meh I will not even keep this Bidoof anyway and my scramble hasn't started yet. I heal my Pokemon and head upstairs. Meanwhile I boot up my Soulsilver game. Wait as I remove Pokemon Diamond from my 3DS it also has trouble going out. I am pretty sure it is legit, I got it at Gamestop while gen 5 was out. Maybe the weird getting out of DSs thing is just me getting them out the wrong way? And I forget to turn on my 3DS's wireless stick before starting Soulsilver, darn. I usually have it off to save battery on my 3DS which is frustrating to charge. Hey look I can see myself on both screens. Man neither of me look the way they do in the other game. Anyway I trade me a random Bidoof for Texte the Igglybuff. Anyway it is the time we have all been waiting for, the cute charm glitch. I put Texte into the first slot of my party. My plan is to run into 15 wild Pokemon and see how many are shiny to test the glitch. The first battle is a normal Starly and Texte grows to level 2. The second battle was a normal Bidoof in which Texte grew to level 3. The fith battle is a normal Starly where Texte grows to level 4. I heal. And guess what the 6th battle is, a shiny Bidoof. My hours and hours of hard work has payed off! All of this for single shiny Bidoof that is a slightly slighter color than a normal Bidoof. Okay maybe not just a shiny Bidoof, maybe like at least 30 other Pokemon too. Anyway Texte sings to the Bidoof but it misses. Texte tries again and succeeds. I send in Tempt to weaken the Bidoof. And great Bidoof wakes up. I throw a Premier ball at the Bidoof and it works! I name her Finder after Shiny Finder on the Smogon forums, the person who helped me with the RNG who made this possible in the first place. I heal and head out again. My 7th battle is a normal Bidoof where Tempt levels up to 7. Wait didn't starters learn their first elemental move at level 7. Oh well. My 8th battle is a shiny Starly. Texte uses sing. Starly wakes up and Tempt uses pound twice. I catch her and I name her Auroura after the first person to give me a Scramblemon on this thread, Auroura_Wolf. After my 9th encounter I heal. My 10th encounter is a normal Bidoof and Texte grows to level 5 and learns defense curl. My 11th encounter is another shiny Bidoof. Texte sings twice as the first one missed. Tempt uses two pounds and I catch the Bidoof. I name her Shiny? As Bidoof's shiny is just a slightly lighter pallet than normal Bidoof. Adding a ? onto my trainer's name is narcissistic I know. My 12th encounter is a 3rd shiny Bidoof. As this is a test of 15 pokemon I decide to catch her. Tempt pounds her twice and I throw a pokeball. I name her Foodib because I am getting lazy with naming. Still, wow, 2 shinys in a row. This is the power of cute charm. Still all of my shinys will be girls because for my game my cute charmer has to be a guy for this to work with my IDs. My 14th encounter is another shiny Bidoof. So she makes 4. Texte sings to the Bidoof. However she wakes up as I send int Tempt. Tempt pounds twice and I throw a pokeball. I name her Heart cause I can. She was sent to the PC. And my final encounter is... a normal Bidoof. I try to sing the last Bidoof to sleep but after 3 tackles she gets a critical hit on Texte. I flee to the Pokemon center. Okay that is the end of this part. My final results are 5 shinys in 15 encounters. The cute charm glitch is well worth all of my Sunday and 3 hours today to set up. Anyway here are my stats for this part. Team: Tempt - Piplup - 7 Texte - Igglybuff - 5 Auroura - shiny Starly Finder, Shiny?, Foodib and Heart - Shiny Bidoofs Total shinys:5 Shiny Bidoof:4, yes I need a stat for this.

"Alright I need a cute charm Pokemon." Shiny said to herself. Being allured by the legend of shiny pokemon she needed a partner who could help her catch them. Sure she was given a Piplup, however he did not have cute charm, nor could be a shiny. Shiny started pacing outside of Sand Gem town. Why is it so bright out? It is 8 'clock at night? The sun burned Shiny's eyes. Shiny wasn't paying to much attention to where she was going and accidentally walked into some tall grass. Right then a shiny Bidoof attacked! Shiny Bidoof counter: 5 "Alright I can deal with a little Beaver. Bring it on Bidoof." Shiny said making fists Just then a Cleffa jumped in between the trainer and the shiny Bidoof. "Both of you stop fighting! Why don't the two of you just talk things out?" The Bidoof tackled the Cleffa in response. 'Alright I didn't want things to have to come to this, but if that's the way you want to play things." The Cleffa wiggled his finger. Green orbs flew from the Bidoof to the Cleffa. He used mega drain. Cleffa healed one damage. Bidoof tackled the Cleffa again. The Cleffa's words started getting to the Bidoof. She gained a small crush on the star pokemon. The Cleffa pounded on the Bidoof. The Bidoof stood in awe as the Cleffa appeared to be chanting something. Cleffa wiggled his finger and an ominous wind blew by. The Bidoof didn't notice however. Just then an orb of light flew onto Cleffa and appeared to heal him. The Cleffa pounded on the Bidoof. The Bidoof tackled him in response. Cleffa wiggled his finger and began to reed Bidoof's mind. Tackle, love Cleffa, Tackle, love Cleffa she was thinking. The Bidoof and Cleffa charged at each other with a tackle and pound. The Bidoof tackled the Cleffa again. Cleffa mud bombed the Bidoof. This was it. One hit from either side would end the fight. Would love save the Cleffa that was defending Shiny? Yes, yes it did. Cleffa beat the Bidoof with a pound. The Cleffa was tired from his fight, but appeared to level up two levels. Shiny pokemon encountered:6 Shiny pokemon caught:5 "Wow! You protected a complete stranger. That is very kind of you." Said Shiny. She smiled at the Cleffa's kindness, and at the fact she had so many shiny Bidoof she let one faint. That's right, she let a shiny faint. "Pant, no problem... I'm glad to help..." The Cleffa fell down. "Cleffa!" shouted Shiny. She saved to make sure she wouldn't run into any more wild pokemon, then rushed to the pokemon center. "Nurse Joy please heal this Cleffa!" Nurse Joy took the injured pokemon and placed him on a machine. In a second the Cleffa got up. "Here is your Cleffa. We hope to see you again!" Shiny took the Cleffa outside. "Are you okay? Who are you? My name is Shiny?" Asked Shiny. "Hello Shiny? it's very nice to meet you! My name is Wish, Wish the Cleffa. Don't worry I'm great! I should be the one asking if you're okay. It's dangerous to go into the tall grass without any pokemon." Shiny's mom's words echoed through her head Don't go into the tall grass without a pokemon, ooo, boo ooo. "Don't worry I'm good. I wasn't the one who got tackled by that Bidoof. Still it looks like you came rather close in that battle, how long have you been battling for?" "Actually that was my first battle. I was born yesterday after all. What brings you out to the tall grass anyway?" Still it was unbelievable, a very niche in battle use ability actually helped this Cleffa win his first battle. "Oh I was looking for a pokemon to go on my journey with. One with cute charm in fact." Said Shiny. "Hey I have cute charm! But what is a journey?" asked the young Cleffa. "Well a journey is where a trainer sets off with some pokemon to explore the world, make some friends and partake in many battle challenges. Would you like to go on a journey with me?" Shiny answered. "You got me at make friends! Let's go make friends with all of the pokemon in the world!" "Okay!" And then Wish the Cleffa joined Shiny's team. "So first I should go tell my mom about me leaving on a journey." "Okay! You lead the way!" The two walked onto route 201. With her first pokemon Shiny felt conferable to talk to all of the maybe trainers on route one. "That ledge is one way!" Well duh, I have poor climbing skills so I probably can't get up waist high ledges. "If your pokemon's health gets low you should go to the pokemon center!" I know this already. What's next, a trainer tries to teach me how to walk. "If you press the control pad you can walk!" Yes, yes it was next. "Avoid wild pokemon from staying away from tall grass." Well actually you have to avoid water and caves too. Shiny said "Seriously Wish, do you believe people are telling us the basics we already know? Who doesn't know this stuff?" "I didn't. In fact I find it interesting." Wish twiddled his stubs. "Oh sorry Wish, I forgot for a moment that you were born yesterday." Shiny answered. The duo successfully made it back to Twinleaf town without running into any wild pokemon. Shiny stood in front of her house. "This is it. My house... I'm telling my mother about my journey, and I won't see home for a while. Heh, heh, it's kind of hard to believe." "Well I think your house is very nice! Let's go inside. I want to see how it looks like!" The duo stepped inside. Shiny:"Um... Mom, there is something I want to tell you." Mom:"What is it Shiny?" She saw Wish. "Aw what a cute pokemon you have there." "Thanks." Mom:"Are you and your cute little pokemon healthy. You should take a quick rest." Shiny:"Well... Mom..." Shiny had an unconformable look on her face. Mom:"What's up Shiny? Shiny:"Professor Rowan asked me to fill in the pokedex. So mom, I'm leaving on a journey." Mom:"Wow. Professor Rowan asked you to do something that big. Okay dear, go for it! Your mom's got your back!" Shiny:"Thanks mom."She rubbed her arm. Mom:"Oh I know! Shiny, I've got something that you'll find useful. Here take this journal. In here you can record your dearest memories." Shiny:"Thanks mom." "Wow a journal? I love how it looks." Mom:"Gee, a journey full of adventure... I envy you kiddo. Plus you're not alone. You have your cute Cleffa with you. I wish I could go instead!" Shiny:"Wait what about that journey full of pokemon contests? You know, the ones you told me about when I was a kid. You even have that scrap book on it." Mom"I'm just joking, dear! Yup, Shiny! I'll be all right with only my Glameow, so you go out and enjoy your adventure." "Ha ha ha! That's a great joke! I don't get it..." Shiny:She gave a smile. "Thanks mom. I want to have one last look at my room before heading out." Shiny began crying a bit. "Are you okay? You appear to be crying." Shiny:"Don't worry wish, I'm fine. I just have to get over the fact I'm leaving home for a while. It's a little hard now but I bet I'll do better after we set out in a little while." Mom:"When you're exposed to new things, and experience new sensations... It makes your mother happy too... But come back sometimes. I would love to hear all of the experiences you have on your journey, and the kinds of pokemon you've caught dear." Shiny:"Don't worry mom, I will." Just then Barry's mom barged into the room. Barry's mom:"Excuse me. Is my little Barry here?" Mom:"Oh? No, he's not..." Barry's mom:"Oh... Then, he must have left already... What to do... That boy shouted about going on an adventure, then he bolted. Shiny:"You know Barry, he is always going as fast as a speed form Deoxys." Barry's Mom: "He's so headstrong and reckless... I at least wanted him to take this..." Mom: "Not to worry, Shiny will deliver that to him. Won't you Shiny?" "We promise!" Shiny:"Yep, forget about the only person in the room who supports the mighty team skull." "Team Skull? Who's that?" Mom:"Oh they're some boy band of thugs Shiny want's to join... And they are kind of a bad influence..." Shiny:"Mom! How many times do I have to tell you team Skull is not a boy band. Besides I don't see a group of loiterers who aggressively dance at people are a bad influence." Gets out a clipboard. "Adding that to the list..." Barry's mom:"I know you have a petty habit of stealing minor things like candy bars or Barry's Wii games which you hind in your jors. But Shiny, please please please take this to Barry for me. You're the only one I think who can." (Arg! Muelly still can't spell that word!) Barry's mom handed Shiny the Parcel. Shiny:"Fine, but only if you prevent him from taking me to court." Barry's mom:"You know he was joking about the fines thing. Well at least I'm pretty sure he was. Mom:"Bye bye, Shiny! Enjoy your adventure!" Barry's mom:"Let me think... Knowing my boy he would probably head straight to Jublilife city... Ok, please take that to Barry." "Okay we're taking the parcel to Barry, yay! Shiny:"Let me just peak inside..." "No! We promised to take it to Barry, and we will honor that promise." Shiny:"I don't remember promising." "Please Shiny?. Kindness is a virtue and we must honor what we promised and deliver this to Barry!" Shiny:"Alright... Fine I won't peak inside the package. Come Wish, I want to take one last look of my room before leaving." This was it, the last time Shiny would see her room for a while. She saved. Wish poked around the entire room in awe. Shiny carefully inspected every area of the room. She picked up various objects reminiscing about the times she spent with them. Shiny walked over to the red carpet right before the stairs. She took one last look of her room and walked down the stairs. Shiny walked outside and looked at her house. Shiny slowly walked on the path out of Twinleaf town, she looked everywhere she could from the path. "Let's go wish, on to our journey." "Okay so what are we going to do first?" "I'm thinking of going to route 202, maybe look for some pokemon there." Shiny answered. "Okay, you lead the way!" Shiny and Wish were on route 201. The two ran to Sandgem town with excitement to see what more was out there. Just then a normal Bidoof ambushed them! "Okay wish let's go! This is our second battle together. Use Metronome!" "Okay! But wait why does this Bidoof look a little different than the one we saw earlier?" "Well this is a normal Bidoof. The one you battled earlier was a shiny. I've heard that pokemon with cute charm lure shiny pokemon out much more easily than any other means." Said Shiny. The Bidoof tackled Wish. The Bidoof picked up on Wish's kind aura and fell in love. Wish wiggled his finger and used icicle spear. Like that 3 icicles formed in Wish's stubs as he hurled them at the Bidoof. "Oh okay! Do they come to me because I'm so kind?" "Yep." Shiny answered. "They come to you because your kind and cute. Anyway Wish use metronome again!" "Wait, wait, wait. A pokemon needs temperance. Everything is better in moderation. Using a move to many times in a row isn't good for a pokemon." The Bidoof tackled Wish. He responded with pound. "Okay? I don't see anything wrong with using a move twice in a row. Anyway Wish it looks like you are in the yellow zone, you should use wish to heal." By now Wish only had half of his health. By luck the Bidoof would be lovestruck with Wish to not attack him. "Well I deeply believe in my Virtues. I think they're good for every pokemon to follow." Bidoof tackled Wish again. Wish began chanting something. The Bidoof tackled Wish. Just like that Wish fainted. Shiny panicked, she dropped 28 poke. She ran to her mother for help. Losing to a level 3 Bidoof with a level 3 Pokemon, how humiliating. "Mom, mom! I need help! Wish, he, he fainted!" Mom:"Oh my dear! Rest Wish down on your bed, I'll get some oran berries." Shiny rushed upstairs with Wish in her arms. "Don't worry, everything will be alright." Shiny told him. Shiny placed wish on her pillow and tucked him in. Shiny's mom came in with some oran berries and fed them to Wish. Mom:"Shiny, what terrifying pokemon have you encountered to make Wish faint like this?" Shiny:"A Bidoof." Mom:"Shiny this isn't the time to be joking." Shiny:"No seriously mom, Wish fainted from a Bidoof. I think that Bidoof had high IVs, it did 4 damage per hit when Wish was level 3 instead of the 3 the Bidoof Wish first thought at level one." Mom:"Shiny, the outside world sounds dangerous. Are you still sure you want to go on your journey?" Shiny:"I'm sure mom." Shiny waited nervously for Wish to wake up. She tried to calm herself with Kirby's Return to Dreamland's true arena but it didn't help much. One hour latter. "What... What happened?" "Wish are you okay? We were battling a Bidoof when it tackled you and made you faint." "Don't worry Shiny? I'm fine. Still I'm a little weak. Could I have some more oran berries?" "Sure thing, sure thing Wish." Shiny answered. Shiny walked down stairs with Wish in her arms. Shiny asked for some oran berries for Wish and her mom gave Wish a plate. Everyone watched TV while Wish ate. MC:"Here we are! It's contest Digest" Shiny never really liked this show. A majority of it was the MC's face being recorded while she blabbered on about random pokemon in vague detail. "The winner of today's normal rank tough contest is Dominic, who overwhelmed with his awesomely buffed pokemon!" They didn't even acknowledge that multiple contests of every rank happen multiple times a day. "That's all we have time for today! Let's meet again!" "Ah, thank you Shiny? and Mrs.Pearl. I feel much better now! Shiny? I'm ready to go back onto the road." Mom:"That's wonderful! Now Shiny, please take good care of Wish." Shiny:"Don't worry I will mom." The duo headed outside. Shiny and Wish were on route 201. "Okay we're going to try this again. Are you ready Wish?" "I sure am!" They walked to Sandgem town. Just then a shiny Starley ambushed them. "Okay Wish this time we need to be more careful. Wish use metronome!" Wish nodded. He wiggled his finger and used metal burst, which failed. The Starly growled at Wish, Wish pounded on Starly. The Starly tackled Wish. Wish wiggled a finger and fired 3 missiles from his body. "Okay Wish, you should try using Wish before the Starly's next two attacks can faint you." Shiny said. "Okay!" Wish started chanting something. The Starly growled at Wish then tackled him. Wish wiggled his stub and used wake up slap. Wish's wish came true and healed him. Starly growled at Wish. Wish pounded on Starly only doing one damage due to the growls. Wish wiggled his stub. He used leaf blade and sent the Starly to the red zone. Wish finished the Starly off with pound. "Yay we did it!" Shinys encountered:7 Shinys caught:5 "We sure did. Come on Wish, let's go to Sandgem town." After one step they were ambushed by a different normal Starly. "NOOO! OH COME OH" Shiny shouted. "Don't worry it shouldn't be too bad." The Starly tackled Wish. Wish chanted something. The Starly tackled Wish again, Wish pounded back. Wish was healed by his wish. "Okay Wish here is what we should do. You should alternate wish and pound. If you are growled a lot start using metronome. Got that?" Said Shiny. "I got it!" Starly tackled Wish. Wish started to chant something. Starly used tackle and Wish used pound as his wish came true. The battle went like this for 4 turns. Just after Starly fell in love with Wish she growled at him. With only one health left to the Starly Wish wiggled his stub and used flare blitz. Wish leveled up to 4. "Hey I think I can learn Encore, should I learn the move?" "I think you should learn it over charm." Shiny answered. 1, 2, ... and poof! Wish forgot charm and learned encore! "Yay! I can't wait to cheer another pokemon on!" The two talked to Sandgem town and healed at the pokemon center. "Okay Wish I think we should train a little. How about we train on that patch of grass on route 201 until you're level 6?" Said Shiny saving. "Okay! Sounds like a plan!" The duo walked to route 201 to start training. They talked to a pokemart man who gave them a free sample potion. "Thank you kind sir!" The training begun. They encountered a normal Bidoof, a normal Starly and a normal Bidoof before becoming level 6. "So Shiny I'm level 6? What should we do now?" "I guess go to route 202, Shiny answered.

It was getting rather dark. "Wait what is this?" Shiny asked herself. There was a clock that had the numbers 1 to 24 on it. Shiny realized the reason it was bright at 8 earlier was because it was 8 o'clock in the morning, not night. "What do you see Shiny??" "Nothing much. I just realized that these parts use 24 hour time. Anyway let's head out." Answered Shiny. There were beautiful constellations out that night. "Ooo now that I think about it those stars kind of resemble shapes. Like those three are a triangle!" Wish pointed to some starts in the sky. "Um... Wish... I don't really know where your pointing. There are many triangles of stars, like that one, and that one." Shiny responded. "Oh. Well just try to find the one that I see!" Shiny pointed up to a random place in the sky. "It's that one." She said. "Yay, you found it!" Shiny was surprised. Did she accidentally point to the right place or did Wish just think that she pointed to it. "Anyway Wish let's go, to route 202." Shiny and Wish passed some trios of flowers on their way to route 202. "Wish I think we should try to add someone to our team." "Yay a friend! Who is it?! Who is it!? "I'm not sure yet." Shiny answered. "I guess I'll know it when I see it." Just then they were interrupted by Lucas. Lucas:"Shiny, do you know how to catch a Pokemon?" Shiny:"Maybe. Why don't you check my pokedex?" Shiny shoved her pokedex into Lucas's face. "Shiny? that isn't very nice. Besides I don't think I've seen you catch a pokemon yet." Lucas:"No? I'll demonstrate how to catch one, so just watch, ok?" Lucas rad into a Bidoof. It's not like shiny already has 4 shiny Bidoof or anything. Shiny sighed boredly during Lucas's capture tutorial while Wish watched with interest. Lucas:"And that's how it's done." Shiny:"You know I already had Bidoof in my pokedex, right? Did I not show it to you?" Lucas:"Actually I should have lowered the target's HP some more." Shiny:"Or you could have used sing to but the target to sleep. Or spore since it's 100% accurate." "Sing? I want to hear a sing! What kind of song is sing anyway?" Shiny:"It's some sort of lullaby Wish." Lucas:"But the most important thing for me when catching pokemon is to lower the Pokemon's HP as much as possible. Putting them to sleep also helps but none of my pokemon know sleep inflicting moves. Here Shiny, I'll give you five pokeballs to get you started." Shiny:"Wow thanks Lucas. I thought you were just going to lecture me on something I already know. Thank you for these pokeballs.""Thanks Lucas. That's very kind of you." Lucas:"If you have lots of pokemon with you, you'll be able to travel farther. That way, you'll have a better shot at meeting more pokemon. See you around!" Shiny:"Umm... Okay? Bye Lucas!" "Goodbye Lucas! Thanks for the helpful tips and pokeballs! Lucas left, leaving Shiny and Wish alone together. "Um... So let's look for some pokemon." Said Shiny. After saving the two walked around in the tall grass. The first pokemon they met was a shiny Starly. "Will this Starly be our new friend?" The Starly tackled Wish. "Erm... no." Replied Shiny. Wish took the Starly out in 2 pounds and 2 metronomes that called mean look and bug buzz. They walked around some more. Shinys encountered:8 Shinys caught:5 "What about this Kricketot?" "I am a very interesting pokemon. Yesterday I added another chapter to the book I'm writing, the history of dust." said the normal Kricketot. "Nah, this Kricketot looks boring." Answered shiny. Wish defeated the normal Kricketot with 2 pounds and 1 metronome that called leaf storm. They walked some more, they encountered a normal Kircketot. Wish wiggled his stub. Wish got an idea for a beautiful song. "Take a melody, simple as can be, give it some words and a sweet harmony, oh today how love grows now, sing a song about, love oh love." Wish's song put the Kricketot to sleep. "So that is what sing is. I like it! I would like to learn it. Can I learn it Shiny??" "Well yes you can, next level actually." Shiny answered. Shiny was in a dilemma. For flavor purposes she needed Wish to keep encore to maybe help her get her next pokemon, but at the same time the only move that wasn't worth keeping was encore. Shiny knew what she had to do. "Um Wish maybe we should avoid battles for a little bit. To help keep your energy for making a new friend." "That is a great idea! It isn't very nice to attack pokemon when they are taking a nap anyway. Bye Kricketot!" The duo fled. The duo walked some more, along their walking they came across a normal Shinx, a shiny Shinx! "Okay Wish we are catching that Shinx." "Ooo, hello new friend!" "Umm... Wish it's not because I want to travel and make friends with the Shinx during my journey, it's that I want the pokedex data and umm..." Shiny knew she had to say something Wish would approve of "Erm... it will keep the pokemon in my PC company?" "Oh okay! Though the Shinx looks kind of scary." Wish's attack fell. Wish began with Metronome. He grew roots. Shinx tackled Wish. With the roots Wish gained he healed some health. Wish pounded Shinx. Wish chanted something and was tackled. Wish pounded Shinx and was tackled back. Wish's wish came true and healed him to 1 from full health, then ingrain finished the job. Shiny threw a pokeball. The Shinx was caught. The Shinx was named Hitmonleet, after the person who gave the scramblemon of Wish. Shinys encountered:9 Shinys caught:6 "Yay we did it! What now?" "Let's go to the pokemon center, we should heal you and store Hitmonleet into the PC." Suggested Shiny. The two went to the pokemon center. "Ah, I fell rested. Anyway let's get back out there and look for friends!" Shiny and Wish headed back to route 202. They ran though some tall grass. They encountered a normal Starly, a shiny Bidoof, a normal Kricketot, and a normal Bidoof. Shinys encountered:10 Shinys caught:6 Shiny Bidoof counter: 6 "GroOlolOlolOloloLoWow" a ear piercing growl struck in the air. "What was that?" Asked Shiny covering her hurting ears. "Hello! Who are you?" "Who am I? I am a Kricketot musician, Buguitar." Some horrible dying violin sounds came from her. "Ooo, could you play me something?" "I might. Though I don't really think you want to hear them..." "Come on! Don't be shy. I want to hear you play." "Alright then... I'm going to fail so badly..." Wish chanted something. A horrible off key voice came from Buguitar. "That was great! Come on, I want to hear it again. But something different this time as I don't want you to strain any vocal chords." "Um... Um... Okay? Great now I have to make something up on the spot." Nervousness built up inside Buguitar. Wish encored Buguitar in hopes of hearing her sing again. Wish's wish came true but it didn't do anything. "Is it over?" Shiny asked uncovering her ears. She saw the shaking Kricketot. "Shiny? could we make friends with Buguitar, she has a great singing voice." It was something about the way that Kricketot had a panic attack that charmed Shiny. "Okay we can make friends with her. Wish you should use a non-damaging move like Wish until the bide is done." "Yay! Buguitar did you hear that!?" Buguitar was standing in place, shaking from nervousness. Wish began chanting something. "Ahh!" Buguitar flailed her arms and shouted, but nothing happened. Wish used pound to weaken Buguitar a bit. Buguitar looked around for a second, before the pressure came crashing back it. Wish began chanting something. "Buguitar are you okay? Would you like to join us? "Um... um..." Buguitar tried to get the words out. Wish used pound to make Buguitar a little easier to capture if she wanted to join. "Yes." "Wait what did you say?" "You... you actually enjoy my music? Do you?" "Why of course Bugitar! I think it's wonderful!" "Yes." "Okay! So let me just throw a pokeball." Said Shiny searching her bag. She found one and threw it at Buguitar. Buguitar willingly went in. "Yay! A new friend!" "Welcome to the team Buguitar!" Cheered Shiny. "So I should probably heal you guys up first" "I... I would like some healing..." The trio walked to the nearby pokemon center. Shinys encountered:11 Shinys caught:7 Buguitar, lv 4, Naughty nature, hates to lose. Growl, Bide. Has a crush on Wish, wait what? New rule! Due to Wish's kindness Buguitar has growing a crush on him. Whenever she is in a double battle with him she must use Sing or the closest thing if she does not know sing to try to impress Wish. Whenever Wish faints Buguitar must switch in to try to avenge him. Buguitar was amazed. Wish, the first pokemon to ever complement her vocal skills. She wanted to be with such an encouraging pokemon. It would be a nice change."So... um... what do we do first?" "Well first of all we are going to route 202. You can have your first battle since joining our team!" Shiny answered. "Ooo! I want to see you battle!" "Real really? Um... Okay then! Let's battle something!" The trio walked into route 202's tall grass. A Bidoof appeared. "Oh Arceus, oh Arceus what am I suppost to do." Buguitar started having a panic attack. "Just that." Shiny answered, "Use bide." The Bidoof tackled Buguitar twice in her panic attack. "Hiiiyyyaaa!" Buguitar flailed into Bidoof. Bidoof lost over half her health. "Oh wow, I, I actually did something." Buguitar was impressed from herself. "Okay... I guess I'll do it again!" "Wait!" "W what?" "You should moderate your own moves. It can't be healthy to spam the same move over and over again. Temperance is a Virtue you know." "Okay?" Buguitar wanted to impress Wish. It was a good time to practice her voice anyway. Buguitar used growl. The Bidoof tackled her. Buguitar did what she thought she did before, try to have a panic attack. Buguitar waited for the Bidoof to tackle her. Buguitar waited, and let all her bottled emotions out on the Bidoof. The Bidoof was weakened, but so was Buguitar. "Don't worry I'll help you!" Wish took a tackle for Buguitar. Wish chanted something then stopped shielding Buguitar. Something calming and soothing came over Buguitar, she was healed. Buguitar taunted the Bidoof with a growl. She then used bide again. Striking the Bidoof felt great. Buguitar watched as the Bidoof fell over and fainted. Buguitar felt powerful. She checked her stubs. "I... I did it! Thank you for healing me Wish!" "Your welcome! I'm happy to help you Buguitar!" "Anyway Buguitar I think we should heal you, and help you get to level 5." Said Shiny "Um... Okay!" The trio healed then walked back to route 202 to do some training. Buguitar battled a Shinx with wish support from Wish. In fact Wish leveled up! "Yay, I think I leveled up. Wait, something is coming to me..." 3, 2, ... poof! Wish learned Sing and forgot encore. "I think I know a song now." "Take a melody" Wish sang in a beautiful voice. "Wow, Wish, you have, you have a beautiful singing voice." "Thank you Buguitar! I think that you'll level up soon. Maybe you'll even learn this song too! By any chance would you like to practice singing together?" "Sure, I, I would love to." "Take a melody," "Grrrrrooooooowwlwlwlwwl growlowoww" "Simple as can be," "GrrRrrRRooOORowlrwLWo" "Give it some words and a sweet harmony." "gRrrroRLorweRLWORLW" "Oh today how love grows strong now," "GRGlwrglwrglRGROWlrwo" "Sing a song about, love, oh love" Shiny wasn't sure whether to cover her ears from Buguitar's parts or try to listen to Wish's parts. "So Buguitar how do you think we did?" "You did great Wish. But I just did terrible..." "Don't say that Buguitar. Sure your voice may be a little shaky now but give it some time and it will grow even better!" "Thanks Wish." "So guys..." Shiny started. "If your done confusing my ears maybe we could do a little more training with you Buguitar? Maybe we should try a battle without Wish's support." A battle without Wish's help. Buguitar's heart started pounding. "But I'm more than ready to help! I'm glad to do it." "That is very kind of you Wish." Shiny said, she faced Buguitar. "Buguitar, you need to learn how to battle a single pokemon on your own. I won't always be able to switch in Wish to heal you. But don't worry, I'll heal you after very battle for now." "Fine..." Buguitar didn't want to stop having Wish help her in battle, he didn't want to lose, but he wanted to impress Wish. And to a much lesser extent Shiny. The trio healed then walked back to route 202. A wild Starly appeared. "Um... are you sure? That is, that is a flying type." "Relax Buguitar the Starly doesn't even know any flying type moves." Shiny replied. "Buguitar I believe in you!!!" That was all Buguitar needed to hear. She gathered all her emotions, then let it all out. She did about just above half of the Starly's health. Starly and Buguitar growled at each other. Buguitar looked at Wish to see him cheering her on. Buguitar started gathering her emotions again. She let it out and the Starly was in the lower yellow zone. She growled while taking a tackle. Buguitar was on 7 health left. She gathered her emotions. She could lose. The Starly could faint her and make her lose. She really didn't want that. She hated that losing feeling. Growl... Tackle, she charged at the Starly. She growled in panic. 4 more turns until she fainted. If bide takes 3 turns than that should just be enough... The suspense got to her. Growl... Growl... NO! Bide did nothing. Buguitar growled back. A tackle of course. Buguitar was in the red. She hoped and bided she wouldn't faint. Growl... Tackle! Buguitar let it all out! She charged at the Starly with all her might! She loved the feel of power. She could feel it flowing through her. She leveled up to 5. "I... I did it. WOO!" She fell back. "Yay! You did it Buguitar! You even leveled up! This is great!" Shiny picked up Buguitar. "Okay so we should probably get you healed." The trio walked to the pokemon center then back to route 202. "Okay this is it guys. It is time we see what is past the first patch of grass in route 202!" "Yay! I can't wait to see what is on the other side!" "Is it safe?" "We will never know if we don't check!" answered Shiny. "That isn't very reassuring." The trio walked into the first patch and past it... was another bigger patch! They walked in to be ambushed by a wild Starly. "Okay Buguitar you are up!" said Shiny. "Why is it always me?" Buguitar and Starly growled. Buguitar collected her emotions. Tackle... Growl... She let it out! It barley did anything... "Aw..." Buguitar was disappointed. "Don't worry I got this!" Wish took Buguitar's place in the battle. He pounded, then metronomed a aromatherapy. The Starly was really intent on growling at everything. Wish pounded again. He then metronomed a Belly drum. "Erm... that is bad Wish. You will need that health for up next. Maybe you should wish Wish?" said Shiny. "Okay!" Wish proceeded to chant something. He sung so it would take effect. "Take a melody..." but Wish was interrupted with a tackle. Wish was healed to almost full health. Wish finished the Starly off with a pound. Up ahead the trio saw a guy wearing a blue cap, a red shirt and some sweet blue shorts that were easy and comfy to wear. "Hello kind sir!" Wish went up to the guy. Tristan:Your a pokemon! That must be your pokemon trainer. I happen to be a pokemon trainer! Our eyes met, so battle we must! It was then the first trainer battle of Shiny's journey started. "Okay so Wish first of all use pound!" Said Shiny. "But our foes should also have a chance. Kindness is a Virtue after all. I think Tristan should have a free turn." "Um... Okay? That won't ever end in us losing. But how should I waste a turn?" "Maybe you could try to run away, or throw a pokeball." "You had me at throw a pokeball." Shiny turned to face the trainer. "In the name of team skull I throw this pokeball at your Starly!" Tristan:"Don't be a theif. Besides that won't do anything to my Starly." Shiny threw the pokeball. I harmlessly bounced off the Starly. "Okay now it's fair. So what should I do first Shiny?" Shiny looked at Wish's health. He had 16/24 health which meant Starly's attacks did 6 damage per hit. Wish would be finished if he didn't use wish now. "Wish I want you to alternate wish and pound." Shiny answered. "Got that Shiny?!" Wish started chanting something. It was then it happened. Starly landed a critical hit. "That's it! I'll avenge you Wish!" Buguitar started with a growl. Starly growled back. Buguitar gathered all of her anger. Wish had been so kind to her, and this Starly had the nerve to faint her? This was unacceptable! Tackle that missed... Quick attack... Quick attack... Buguitar in a stormed and let her anger out on Starly. She growled to honor Wish's wish for temperance. Luckily Buguitar was only growled back. She gathered all of her anger again. This was it, she had to finish it Growl... Quick attack... Quick attack... In a storm of rage Buguitar fainted the foe's Starly. Buguitar leveled up. "That is what you get when you mess with Wish." She said angrily. Tristan:"Too strong! Too strong! Take my poke!" Shiny was given 80 poke. "Sweet cash." Shiny said staring at the gold coins in her stand. "Why you little... Shiny we need to heal Wish!" "Agreed." The trio headed to the pokemon center running away from any wild pokemon. "Please nurse joy heal my pokemon!" Nurse joy placed Wish's pokeball and Buguitar onto a machine that healed them. After they were done healing Shiny asked "Are yo..." "Wish are you okay? When you fainted I got so worried." "Don't worry I'm good Buguitar! Thanks for asking." "...u okay Wish..." Shiny Finished. "Anyway today was rather eventful, you joined our team Buguitar, we battled a trainer, we are still at Sandgem town." "Well soon we can go further into route 202. I wonder how deep that route is. Yawn..." "It shouldn't be to deep Wish." Shiny answered. "There should be a town on the other side." "Yay... That... sounds..." Wish started to fall asleep. "Awe, I guess we can sleep for the night." Shiny picked up Wish and placed him on a pillow in the pokemon center. "I guess I'll also call it night..." Buguitar went on another pillow. "Goodnight Wish, good night Buguitar." Shiny set her self on a couch and went to sleep.

Wish stretched. "Yawn. Good morning everyone!" "Good morning Wish." "Morning Wish and Buguitar." Shiny said. "Hey we should get some breakfast." "Ooo breakfast! What do we have?" "Let's see in this vending machine there are apples, and chocolate bars." Shiny said, "I know that I'm having." Shiny inserted a single pokedollar into the machine and out came 2 chocolate bars. "So what do you guys want?" "Shiny?! Chocolate bars aren't that good for you. Besides breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you don't have a good breakfast you won't have enough energy to go journeying latter Shiny?." "Um... so what should we have then..." "Apples are a good choice! Shiny? could I have an apple?" "I'll take an apple too..." "Okay, coming right up guys." Shiny inserted two poke dollars into the vending machine and out came two apples. Shiny gave the apples to Wish and Buguitar. After everyone ate, "Hey, so let's go back to route 202. Maybe this time we could get to the other side." "That's a great idea shiny!" The trio headed out to route 202. Suddenly a Bidoof attacked! "Okay Buguitar your up." "Um... okay!" Buguitar gathered her anger and waited for the Bidoof to strike. Tackle... Tackle... Strike! Bidoof was in the yellow zone. Buguitar growled at the tackling Bidoof. She then gathered up her anger... tackle... tackle... Strike! The Bidoof fainted. Buguitar felt accomplished to have defeated the Bidoof on her own. She could feel herself leveling up and getting stronger. "You leveled up Buguitar! We should probally heal seeing you lost over half your health." Shiny suggested. "Agreed..." Buguitar panted. However on their way there they were ambushed by another Bidoof! "Don't worry Buguitar I got this!" Wish switched in. Wish pounded, metronomed a light screen, pounded, singed then pounded. The Bidoof was defeated. Everyone headed to the pokemon center, healed, then went back to route 202. "Okay Wish I think you should led this time." Said shiny. "Okkie dokkie!" The trio walked along route 202. A wild shinx appeared. Wish metronomed a faint attack, wished, pounded, metronomed a guard swap, and finally pounded. Shiny read a pointless trainer tips sign. It talked about something Shiny had been doing her whole journey, bait and switching and training pokemon for levels. Shiny saw another trainer ahead. "Hi there! How are you doing today?' Natalie:"I spy, with my little eye... A trainer! A battle please!" "Sure we could battle you." "Oh by-the-way-team-skull-rules-I-throw-pokeball-cause-Wish's-kindness-Virtue." Shiny said quickly. A pokeball bounced off the Bidoof. Bidoof tackled Wish, it was a critical hit. "Man what is it with trainer battles and crits? Anyway Wish, use wish." "Okay! Got that Shiny!" Wish began chanting something. Bidoof tackled Wish. Wish pounded the Bidoof. Bidoof tackled Wish. Wish's wish came true and healed him. The Bidoof picked up on Wish's kind aura and fell in love. Wish sang to the Bidoof. "Take a mel..." however he was interrupted by a tackle. "Hey... Um... Could you not tackle Wish while he's singing?" Bidoof:"Nope!" "It's okay Buguitar, I've got this." Wish pounded the Bidoof. Wish then began to chant something. Bidoof tackled Wish. Wish pounded Bidoof. Bidoof fell over and fainted. Wish's wish came true and healed him. "Hey Buguitar we should switch after defeating every pokemon. Humility is a Virtue after all. It is only fair if everyone shares the spotlight." "Um... Okay errm thanks." Buguitar stepped forward. Buguitar began to gather her anger. Tackle... Tackle... Strike! In a burst of anger Buguitar let out on the Bidoof. The Bidoof went into the red zone. Buguitar growled at the Bidoof. She started gathering her anger. Tackle... Tackle... Strike! The Bidoof fell over and fainted. Buguitar could feel the power running through her. She grew to level 8. Natalie:"Oh boo, I can't win. My pokemon are all tuckered out. I need to go to a pokemon center." "Good job you two. We won our second trainer battle. We should get to the next city in no time!" Said Shiny. "Yeah! A city sounds exciting!" "Um... yes. Very exciting." "Okay so let's go." Said Shiny. With Wish at the front the trio went through another patch of tall grass. A Kricketot ambushed them. Kricketot:"Oh so chalkboard got a trainer. How nice." "Wait, who?" Kricketot:"You know that yellow runt." "Go... away..." Kricketot:"What's da matter? Glameow stole your tongue chalkboard?" "Hey stop picking on Buguitar!" Kricketot:"Little chalkboard? I don't think so." Shiny shoved the Kricketot. "Hey listen stop picking on Buguitar. Buguitar has been training with me and is now 5 levels higher than you. If it weren't for the fact the the only damaging move the two of you know is bide I would have sent her out here to tear you to pieces already." Kricketot:"So da trainer going to fight me now hey? I can take you on big guy." Wish pounded the Kricketot full force. "You need to be kinder to others! Buguitar is trying to improve. I can really tell that. She doesn't need pokemon like you to constantly bring her down!" Kricketot:"You don't know chalkboard's life as well as I do." She used bide. "Maybe I haven't known Buguitar as long as you have, but I know no pokemon wants to be insulted like that." Buguitar looked in awe of what Wish was doing. "Wish I know you want to go all out and fight this Kricketot but you should probably use sing now." said Shiny. "Okay." "Take a melody, kind as can be..." However Kricketot ignored Wish's voice. Kricketot let the damage she was storing out. Wish took 14 out of 24 damage. Wish began chanting something. Wish used pound. Kricketot started storing energy. Wish sang again, "Give it some words and a nice harmony..." Kricketot:"Wha..." She fell asleep. Wish pounded the Kricketot into fainting. Wish was breathing heavily. He felt power from defeating that Kricketot and grew to level 8. After a while Wish asked. "Buguitar are you okay? What was that all about." "Don't... want... too..." "It's okay Buguitar. Once we leave route 202 you won't have to see that mean Kricketot again." Shiny said. Buguitar walked towards her pokeball. She went inside. "Okay want to gather your self. I understand. Come Wish let's go." "Is Buguitar okay?" "I'm not sure. I guess that Kricketot bullied Buguitar or something." Shiny answered "Bully? That is horrible. I wish I could help Buguitar with what she has experienced." "You probably will sometime during this journey, I just don't know when. Let's try some walking." "Alright then. I just hope Buguitar is okay." The duo talked into more of route 202. There was another trainer. Logan:"Let's have a pokemon battle! Huph! But I'm going to win." Shiny threw a pokeball to waste a turn and promote team skull. The Shinx tackled Wish and landed a critical hit. "Man, why is it every time I do a trainer battle the other trainer gets a crit!" Wish pounded Shinx. Wish then used Wish. The Shinx leered Wish and his defense fell. Wish used pound. Shinx with a sliver of health left used leer. Wish's wish came true and healed him to full health. Shinx leered Wish. Wish wiggled his stub and sent two kicks at the Shinx. In fact a double kick. Logan:"You're like wow!" "Okay that's another trainer out of the way. Hey Wish, I think the next town is up a head. Just this one last patch of grass and we should be there." said Shiny. "Yay! Let's go!" The duo took one step into the grass and a normal Bidoof appeared. Wish pounded the Bidoof while taking a tackle. Wish metronomed fake out while taking another tackle. Bidoof fell in love with Wish. Wish pounded the Bidoof and she fainted. They walked forward. Shiny read a sign, 'To Jubilife city.' "We are almost there." said Shiny. "Yay! I wonder that is in there?" There was a split road. Upwards was the city, but to the left there was a small patch of grass with a pokeball laying at the end. "Item..." Shiny started walking towards it. "Wait Shiny? you need chastity! Try to abstain from your desires. Besides we could run into a wild pokemon." Shiny wasn't listening. Shiny walked forward and picked up a potion. "But Wish I just found a potion! This will be useful for the 1st gym. But what if I need it later?" Shiny said, "Anyway's to Jubilife city!" Shiny turned around to a normal Bidoof. "I told you we could have ran into a wild pokemon. But don't worry, I'll take care of this!" Wish pounded the Bidoof and was tackled back. "Take a melody..." the Bidoof fell asleep. Wish pounded the Bidoof. Wish then wiggled his stub and metronomed a discharge. The Bidoof fainted. Wish could feel power surge through him as he grew to level 9. With that Bidoof out of the way the duo walked out of the patch of grass, and into Jubilife city. Lucas: "Hey Shiny! How many pokemon have you caught?" "Hi Lucas!" Shiny:"4 shiny Bidoof, a shiny Starly and Shinx, and a shiny Kricketot. In fact I think you should meet her." Shiny let Buguitar out of the pokeball. "Wha... Oh!" Buguitar quickly rubbed her eyes. Lucas:"Only 7? Well I think you should catch some more." Shiny:"Well I would if there were more than Shinxs, Starlys, Bidoofs and Kricketots on the only places I've been." Lucas:"It might be more of a challenge to raising a lot of pokemon... but it's worth it. The more pokemon you have, the happier you'll be." "Yeah! Having a lot of friends do make you happier." Shiny:"Well it's only really a challenge if you raise more than 6, or self impose a challenge like raising a bunch of pokemon that are nitpicky about stuff and must follow certain rules at all times, oh wait..." Lucas:"In jubilife city, there's the trainer's school. Check it out Shiny." Shiny:"I don't really think I will. I already know the basics of pokemon. And the advances of pokemon." "But it's always good to learn something new." Shiny:"But heading to the trainer's school sounds so boring." "Maybe we could... maybe... hide all the pencils? No that's a dumb prank." Shiny:"Prank the school? That sounds like a great idea!" "Shiny we shouldn't prank others!" Shiny:"But hiding all the pencils will be harmless. Especially if they are still in the school." Lucas:"You should really check it out. Barry went to the trainer's school earlier." Shiny:"Oh yeah the parcel! I almost forgot about it. Great now I want to peak inside of it." "Shiny don't! Besides we are almost there." Lucas:"Anyways, see you around! Work hard on your pokedex!" Shiny:"Okay, bye." "Goodbye Lucas!" And with that the trio were left to explore the town of their own. "So we should probably hit the pokemon center first. Hey look a convenient sign!" Said Shiny who checked the sign. "Okay so it should be to the first right." The trio walked to the pokemon center. "That feels better." Buguitar was fully healed. "So Shiny what should we do first? Check out the trainer school?" "Nah, I was thinking wandering around aimlessly and hoping something happens." Shiny answered. With that the trio began to walk around aimlessly in Jubilife city. Shiny started talking to everyone she came across, however all they said were basic tips she already knew. "Man why is there nothing interesting in this town." "There is the trainer's school. Lucas did tell us that he saw Barry there, so maybe we should check to see if he is there." "Fine..." said Shiny. She then perked up. "It's prank time." The trio walked in the trainer's school. Shiny relized something, there were no desks. Great where were all the pencils to hide? 'Hi everyone!" Various students looked at the trainer who just walked in and her two pokemon. "Whoa what is that pink star?" "That Kricketot looks weird." "Aw, the pink one is so cue." "Is that a shiny?" "Why yes, yes Buguitar is." answered Shiny. Buguitar felt nervous at all of the people looking at her. "Hi there! What are you doing?" "I wrote an essay in my notebook on what makes a true pokemon trainer." Said the kid. "Ooo can I see?" "Sure." The kid handed Wish his notebook. "Thanks." Wish squinted at the text unsure of what it said. Shiny stepped onto a square blue mat with a yellow rectangle in it. Christine:"I just became friends with my pokemon. I'm not sure if we can do this properly, but may we battle." Shiny:"Sure! Bring it on. Your up Buguitar." "Um okay." Buguitar walked in front of Shiny. Christine:"I need to try the things I learned before I forget them!" Shiny threw a pokeball to waste a turn. "Grrororlwworlw!" The foe Abra used hidden power. In one turn Buguitar went from 24 health to 15 health, and now she was at 7, she wasn't going to survive long enough to use bide. "Wish could you battle this Abra?" Shiny asked. "Sure thing! Here's you book back." Wish gave the kid back his notebook and switched in with Buguitar. Wish took a hidden power. He pounded at Abra while taking another hidden power. Abra used hidden power while Wish chanted something. Abra hidden powered Wish. Wish pounded the Arba back that caused them to faint. Wish was panting from the damage he had taken. Christine:"I like to study a lot. I thought I could win. Do you think we would have done better if I used potions." Shiny:"I guess but it seems like a waste when the pokemon center is nearby." Shiny picked up Wish and Buguitar. "And I'm getting the two of you healed." "Yay..." "That, pant, pant, sounds nice." Shiny took Buguitar and Wish to be healed. The trio then headed back to where they just were. Harrison:"Doing it is the best way to learn! Can we battle with you? Shiny:"Sure I don't see wynuat." Harrison:"That pun was rather lame. Anyway go! My pokemon, Go!" Shiny:"Buguitar your up again!" "Great... a repeat of what happened last time..." Shiny wasted a turn. Abra used, you guessed it, hidden power. Buguitar growled while taking a hidden power. Shiny:"Okay Wish, your up." "Okay!" Wish took a hidden power. He used pound. He wiggled his stub and metronomed a Sucker punch, but it failed. Wish pounded again and defeated the Abra with hardly any health remaining. Harrison:"Oh snap, that's how it is then. Whew! You're really good!" Wish was about to faint and Buguitar was on what a Kricketot would consider a knee. "We've been studying every day, but we were no match at all! You'd be able to use this Technical machine properly. Here you go!" Shiny was handed TM10. Harrison went on about TM stuff everyone knows. "Thanks, and if you excuse me, I need to run to the pokemon center!" Shiny quickly got Buguitar and Wish healed then came back. "Isn't that Barry over there? Hi Barry!" Barry:"Hey Shiny! Did you come here to study, too?" Shiny:"Nah, I was just looking for something interesting to do. Everyone kept mentioning this place so I came here." Barry:"I went ahead and memorized everything that was up on the chalkboard." Buguitar flinched. She tried hiding in the bookcase behind Shiny. Barry:"After all, it's the trainer's job to avoid having their precious pokemon hurt in battle." Shiny:"It is also the trainer's job to care for their pokemon can did you have to say that word." Barry:"What word?" Shiny:"That one." Wish walked over to Buguitar. "Don't worry Buguitar, it will be okay. Barry didn't mean it" Buguitar peaked out from the bookcase. Barry:"Oh wow that Kricketot looks like what they were talking about with the red Gyarados on TV? How did you find a pokemon like that?" Shiny:"Wish and bending time to my will a little bit." Barry:"So, Shiny what brings you?" "Shiny give him the parcel." Shiny:"Oh yeah, that was right. Barry your mom told me to give this to you.' Barry:"Huh? You've got something for me? What's what is this? Score! It's a town map! Huh!? Why are there two in here?" Shiny:"Maybe because your mom thought you would drop one?" Barry:"I like it alot, but I don't think I'll lose it or need two. Here, Shiny, you take one!' "Thanks Barry." Shiny"Um... okay. I could just use the internet." Barry"Hmm... Well according to the town map, I guess Oreburgh city is where I should be going next." Shiny:"Well obviously. It's where the first gym is." Barry:"Yep. It'd be perfect for raising the pokemon I just caught. Well I'm on the road to becoming the greatest trainer of all time!" Shiny:"Well I guess I'll be trying to win all of the gyms, and promote them in the progress. Did you know Alola replaced gyms with trials? The trial leaders make you do crazy stuff such as watch dancing or make you make them some lunch. To top it off they cheat and do a 2 on 1 battle with you, and they get free turns to use X items." Barry:"Yes, I know you support team skull Shiny. Anyway, see you around!" Shiny turned to Buguitar. "It's okay, you can come out now. Barry is gone." "Real really..."Buguitar slowly emerged from the book case. "Yep. He's not here to call you names any more." Shiny said. "Buguitar are you okay? Whenever someone says, that word, you keep becoming not okay." "I'm not it okay. I, I don't want to talk about it..." Buguitar turned away. "Buguitar how will the problem ever get better if you don't tell anyone about it." Buguitar sunk. Pressure started getting to her. She began glowing red. "Whoa Buguitar you don't have to use bide right now." Said Shiny. "Raahhhhh!" Buguitar yelled and flailed her stubs. She looked around, and was embarrassed. "Okay Buguitar maybe now isn't the best time to talk. But I will help you move past all that bullying that horrible Kricketot must have done to you." Buguitar blushed. The room stayed awkwardly silent for a while. Shiny's stomach growled. "Hey maybe we could get some lunch." "Sure." "I am getting a little hungry. Where will we eat. "Let's look around." The trio strolled around town. They came to the pokemon center and had some vending machine food. "Don't worry Buguitar, I will help you."

"Ah that was a nice lunch, so what should we do in this town now?" Shiny asked. Just then a man walked up to the trio. Man:"Oh, oh, oh? You call yourself a pokemon trainer? And yet you have no poketch?" Shiny:"Yes. Why does a trainer need a super fancy watch to train pokemon." Man:"That is, pokemon... wait how did you already know this, err I mean of course every one knows of this." Shiny:"I learned it from some online forums. The thread was created 4 months ago but it still only has one page." Man:"Oh my, you are a rare case indeed!" "Um... I... don't remember anyone ever wearing any watches." Shiny:"Besides isn't the poketch just a Sinnoh thing?" Man:"You see, I invented, and now manufacture, poketches." Shiny:"Oh this is an advertising thing, makes sense." Man:"Not only that, I'm now conducting the poketch promotional campaign! All you have to do is find three clowns in Jubilife city." Shiny:"Oh no. Not the clowns. Do you know how bad things get in fictional stories about them?" "Shiny? you shouldn't judge someone based on a fictional story you read, what was the story anyway?" Shiny:"Attack of the super very most scary most clowns. It was about some clowns, with Hypnos." "Are you sure that wasn't just a horror story?" Shiny:"But these days every one honors books so they must be true. I read that in a book once," Man:"If you can find them... I will gift you with a poketch." "A gift for winning a game of hide and seek? That sounds fun! Come on Shiny? let's do this!" Shiny:"Alright. I do like free stuff." Man:"Each of the clowns will ask you something about pokemon, get it right and they will give you a coupon, get 3 and tell me to get the poketch. Good luck! Have fun!" The trio began searching. "So where do you think a clown..." just after 3 steps they spotted a clown. "Um... so that is a clown... Hey Wish why don't you talk to them?" "Okay!" Wish walked over to the clown. "Hello!" Clown:"Hi! I'm a poketch campaign clown! Let's roll out my question! Does a pokemon grow by defeating others and gaining exp. points?" Shiny from a distance asked, "Does he mean experience points or execution points?" Wish noticed Shiny staying a distance away. "Come on Shiny?! Just come up to the clown." Wish held Shiny's hand and tried walking over to the clown. Shiny hesitantly followed. Shiny:"Yes?" Clown:"Ding-Ding! You're AbsolUtely correct! Pokemon grow stronger by defeating other pokemon in battle. Some pokemon grow into an entirely different form in a process known as evolution. Here you go! Your poketch coupon!" Buguitar thought of how much evolution could change her. She could become something like a fish, or something completely tone deaf. She started shaking in her spot. "Buguitar are you okay?" "Don't worry, I'm fine." And with that the trio wandered around Jubilife city some more. Shiny thought she spotted some tall grass to the right of Jubilife city. Shiny could swear she saw something. "Hey I think I see something over there." Shiny walked forward. A man came up to her and said"By, the way, have you participated in the poketch campaign? Not yet, right? You really must try!" "I've heard about it and gotten one coupon." Shiny said. "But I want to see what's on the route over there a little bit first." The man took Shiny and forced her back into Jubilife city. "Hey that isn't very nice. You can't just do that to others." Shiny was furious. She started aggressively dancing at the man. "Did you just mess with me. You have evoked the wrath of team skull! I am going to tell all of team skull about this on their forums and you will rule the day you forced a trainer to get a poketch the next time you set foot in Alola!" The man did not respond. "Come Wish and Buguitar, I bet he's just a part of the poketch marketing campaign. Let's just leave Jubilife city then." "Yeah!" "Okay. I don't want either of you to get hurt from this capaign." The trio walked onto route 204. They came across a Budew. "Okay Wish you're up." "Okay!" The Budew used growth. Wish pounded on Budew. Budew grew again and Wish metronomed a metal claw, but it missed. Budew continued to grow before Wish knocked them out with pound. Sarah:"Oh, a weak-looking trainer... Do you want to have a go?" Shiny:"We are not weak. Any way let's go!" Buguitar was up. Shiny threw a pokeball to waste a turn, but the Bidoof missed their tackle. Buguitar began with a growl. The Bidoof growled back. Buguitar gathered her emotions, I don't sound like a chalkboard, I don't sound like a chalkboard... Tackle... Tackle... Strike! Bidoof lost half of her health. Buguitar and Bidoof growled at each other. Buguitar gathered her emotions... Tackle... Tackle.. Strike! But it hardly did anything. Buguitar growled while taking two tackles. Buguitar gathered her rage... Growl... Tackle... Strike! It still hardly did anything as she took a tackle. Buguitar growled while taking a tackle again. She gathered herself... Growl... Growl... she flailed around but she didn't do anything to the Bidoof. Buguitar was at 8 health left now. "Buguitar don't worry I've got your back." Wish blocked an incoming tackle. Wish finished the Bidoof off with a pound. Bugitar felt the strength from the defeated Bidoof, and went up a level. Wish also felt this energy and became level10. Wish felt like he could learn sweet kiss. However Wish wasn't really that into romance so he didn't learn the move. Sarah:"Aww... I should have said no. I didn't know you were tough... I'm going to train harder too!" And with that battle Buguitar was tired so the trio headed back to the pokemon center before going further. A few steps in... Tyler:"My dad gave me some pokemon! They're gonna win for me!" Tyler sent out a Magikarp. Shiny laughed a little bit. She wasted a turn while Buguitar got hit with the oh so dangerous splash. "Grorlwrlwlw!" Buguitar survived another dangerous splash. "Okay sense there is no chance of bide defeating this Magikarp Wish you're up!" Said Shiny. "Okkie dokkie!" Wish switched into the most dangerous move in the world. Wish pounded Magikarp. Wish then metronomed a swagger. The Magikarp became much more threatening with a boosted attack stat. Magikarp hurt himself in confusion then Wish finished him with pound. "It's your turn!" "Okay." Buguitar walked onto the battle field. A bird, birds eat bugs. Buguitar had a panic attack. Growl... Growl... Buguitar was frozen in fear when Starly used tackle. "Grorrolw!" Buguitar was quick attacked. Buguitar gathered her frustration of not being able to attack the Starly... Tackle... Quick attack... Quick attack... Strike! The Starly was in the red zone. "Grrrolworwl!" and Buguitar was growled back. Buguitar gathered her anger... Tackle... Tackle... Strike! With only 3 health left Buguitar defeated the Starly. Tyler:"But they were the pokemon I got from my dad..." "Good job Buguitar. Anyway we should probably rush you to the pokemon center." Said Shiny. One center trip latter... Samantha: "May I please trouble you for a battle?" Shiny wasted a turn. The Budew began with growth. Wish pounded the Budew while she used growth again. Budew growthed while Wish metronomed an amnesia. Budew water spored while Wish pounded. Wish sang while Budew grew. "Take, some, a, erm..." But Wish couldn't remember the words to the song. Budew used absorb while Wish finished Budew off with a pound. Samantha:"Oh... Your so strong..." The trio walked further into the route. There was a cave called Ravaged path. "Let's go in there!" Said Shiny. "But um... will we get lost?" "Don't worry Buguitar I will keep track of where we are going." The trio walked in. Shiny saw an item and picked it up. "Hey look, an Antidote." Everyone went to leave the cave when a normal Zubat appeared. Wish pouned the Zubat while getting leach lifed. Wish metronomed a secret power. Wish grew to level 11! "There are rocks in the way!" "We could walk past them." Said Shiny. With some struggle Shiny failed to walk over the rocks. "Oh come on these are like, waist high." Buguitar charged at the rocks. Buguitar took 2 damage. "Buguitar are you okay? I don't think it's a good idea to try to break the rocks." "It's a wonderful idea though." Said Shiny. She karate chopped a rock. The rock remained unbroken and Shiny's hand became red. "Bad idea, bad idea! Man the internet makes this look so easy." "I think we should leave the cave. I don't want either of you to get more hurt trying to break those rocks." Shiny held her hand. "Agreed." The trio exited the cave. On their way they saw a normal Shinx. Not seeing the point the trio fled. The trio visited the pokemon center. "So with that creep blocking the east and those rocks blocking the north what should we try to do now?" "We could try to finish that game of hide and seek for a free poketch. " "Alright... I don't want to deal with clowns but I do like free stuff." The trio wandered around Jubilife city. They found another clown. "Okay Wish you just answer the question for the clown." Wish took Shiny's hand and tugged gently. "Shiny you should concur your fear of clowns. They're just people trying to cheer others up. There's nothing to be afraid of." Clown:"Just like Pokemon types, the moves of Pokemon also have types?" Shiny:"Yes." Clown:”Ding-Ding! You're AbsolUtely correct! If the Pokemon's type matches it's move's type, that move is made much more powerful!" The clown handed Shiny a coupon. Shiny walked up to another clown. Clown:"Can a pokemon hold an item?" Shiny:"Yes." Clown:”Ding-Ding! You're AbsolUtely correct! A pokemon may hold a single item. Some items become effective as soon as they are held by a pokemon. Berries are eaten by pokemon as necessary during battle." The clown handed Shiny a coupon. "Wow Shiny congratulations! You got all three coupons so we can get a poketch now. You also appear to have overcame your fear of clowns." Shiny:"I did. I just realized that if the clowns ever do something with Hypnos or something I have you to pound them up and Buguitar to bide them up." "Shiny that isn't what I was trying to..." Shiny:"It all makes perfect sense!" The trio walked over to the poketch man from before. Man:"Let me count your coupons! I'll use the poketch here..." Shiny:"Are you serious? How hard is it to count to three?" Man:"I am trying to demonstrate the counting feature of the poketch." "No offense, but... using the poketch to count to three, looks... pretty weak." Man:"One, Two, Three! Bravo! I say, bravo! In return for these coupons I present you this pokemon watch, or poketch for short!" Shiny got the poketch. She looked down at her watch, "Whoa." It had some numbers that appeared to be a time, but she still had trouble with hours past 12. Man:"You can add apps to your poketch to make it even more versatile! Touch the poketch screen and please do try it out!" He walked away. "Ooo, we got a poketch! What can it do?" Shiny:"Let's see here." There was a clock, a calculator, a step counter and a party display. "Well I know which one of these I'm using 90% of the time." Shiny set it to the party screen. "So what do we do now? I guess we should charge head first into what ever battle opportunity we get." The trio walked around town. They headed east. There was that man from before. They managed to walk past him without any hassle this time. Barry ran up to Shiny. Barry:"Hey! Shiny! Tell me you got a little tougher!" "Hi Barry." Shiny:"Yes, Wish and Buguitar have gained a few levels. What about you?" Barry:"Me? Do you even need to ask? Of course I got tougher! Come on! Let's battle it out!" Buguitar was up first. Shiny wasted a turn. Starly used growl then quick attack. Buguitar gathered her emotions... Growl... Growl... Arg! Nothing! Buguitar growled in frustration. Just then Starly quick attacked Buguitar twice. Buguitar gathered her emotions... Growl... Growl nothing... Buguitar was getting very annoyed at Starly. She prepared a growl preparing for a quick attack. Surprisingly the Starly growled back. Starly quick attacked. Buguitar gathered her emotions... quick attack, a critical hit! Another quick attack made Buguitar fall. "Buguitar!" Wish stepped in to avenge his fallen team mate. The Starly stood still at full health. Starly growled Wish, Wish pounded the Starly. Starly quick attacked. Wish wiggled his stub and tried to use fissure, just for Starly to dodge it. Starly landed a critical quick attack while Wish pounded. Shiny:"Okay Wish, you should use wish to heal yourself from that critical hit." "I don't know... I mean you let Buguitar faint." Wish wiggled his stub and used faint attack while Starly quick attacked Wish. Shiny:"Maybe now you could use wish wish?" Starly growled while Wish started singing "Take a melody," and Starly fell asleep. Shiny:"Please Wish, use wish." "Hold on I want to let Starly rest for a bit first." Wish then started to finally chant something. Wish fainted the Starly with a pound. Wish's wish came true and fully healed him. Wish wiggled a stub and used attract, only to find out the opposing Turwing was straight. The Turtwig tackled Wish twice then withdrawed. Wish pounded Turtwig while taking a tackle. Wish started chanting something. Wish pounded Turtwig while he withdrawed. Wish's wish came true and healed him. Wish wiggled a stub and used embargo. Turtwig tackled Wish. Wish in his frustration wiggled a stub and used fire punch. Wish looked in shock to what he had done. He had... He had... broken his own virtue. Wish looked at his own stub that caused it. Wish lowered his head in shame, he had failed at temperance. During Wish's sulking the Turtwing managed to get in a withdraw and tackle. Shiny:"Come on Wish, the battle isn't over yet, you can do it." "But, but I failed at temperance." Shiny:"But Wish your the only one who can win this battle now. Buguitar tried hard to face off against that Starly that you defeated. Are you going to stop now and let that all be for nothing?" "Wait no one switched in after I defeated. That's temperance and humility broken." Shiny:"But Wish I don't think that counts as humility broken since there was literately no one you could switch into. Come on Wish, Buguitar really wanted to win the fight. Do you want to let her down?" "No." Shiny:"So Wish get back in there and defeat this Turtwig, for Buguitar!" "For Buguitar!" Wish got back up. Wish pounded Turtwig while the Turtwig withdrawed. Wish started chanting something while Turtwig tackled Wish. Wish took a tackle. Wish's wish came true and restored him to 28/32 health. Wish wiggled his stub and metronomed a wrap, that missed... Turtwig tackled Wish. Wish started chanting something while taking a tackle. Wish wiggled his stub and used comet punch while taking a tackle. Wish pounded Turtwig while taking a tackle. Wish started chanting something. Turtwig used tackle, but it missed. Wish wiggled his stub and used brine, and despite not being very effective did more that pound could do. Turtwig used tackle. Wish's wish healed Wish. "Simple as can be" sang Wish but Turtwig wasn't paying attention. Wish took a tackle. Wish metronomed a conversation, but it failed. Turtwig tackled Wish twice. Wish started chanting something while being tackled. Wish pounded Turtwig while being tackled. Wish's wish came true and healed him. Wish metronomed a cross chop while taking a tackle. Wish pounded Turtwig while taking a tackle. Wish started chanting something while taking a tackle twice. Wish's wish came true. Wish pounded Turtwig while being tackled. Wish started chanting something while being, just assume after very action Wish is tackled. Wish used pound. Wish pounded again. Wish was shocked that once again he failed his virtue. Shiny:"Come on Wish, you can't get yourself down again, this is a very close battle and if you sulk you could lose this for Buguitar. Wish started singing something "How, I failed temperance twice...". Both pokemon were in the red zone. Shiny used a potion on Wish. Wish pounded. Wish sang "This is a terrible day..." Wish pounded again. Shiny used another potion. Wish was tackled twice because he wasted all of the healing items and sulked about it. Wish did some intelligible humming. Wish after being tackled sang "Oh how everything, seems to be failing. But yet, we must not give up." Turtwig finally fell asleep. Wish used pound. Wish hummed something. It was just enough time for Turtwig to wake up and use withdraw, but Turtwig's defense couldn't go any higher. Turtwig used withdraw again and appeared to be out of pp for tackle. The Turtwig had been pp stalled. Wish used pound. Wish sang something "Give it some words and a sweet melody." and Turtwig fell asleep. Wish continued to hum. Wish used pound. Turtwig woke up and withdrawed with what appeared to be one health left. Wish continue to hum but Turtwig ignored it. Wish pounded Turtwig and finally, Turtwig went down. "Finally." Wish breathed heavily. Barry:"What's going on here. I lost?" Shiny:"Yes you did. Though I also lost 2 potions, Buguitar lost her health and Wish lost his innocence. First Buguitar and now Wish. Are you planing to push all of the pokemon I catch over their edge?" Barry:"No. Well that's it! We were so close. That's the last time I'll ever lose!" Shiny:"I better grind then. Why am I getting revenge fantasies of one shotting all of your pokemon in our next battle." "Shiny? knocking out others isn't nice..." Wish turned to Barry, "But neither is insulting others, fainting others or MAKING THEM BREAK THEIR VIRTUES! Okay Shiny? let me at him, let me at him." Shiny:"Whoa not yet Wish, we'll settle this on the battle field, that is how team skull avoids punishment for things slightly outside the rules anyway. At least then it looks like a battling mishap." Barry:"Shiny you know I can hear you right? You better not be planing my demise or planing to use me in one of your dumb team skull things." Shiny:"Team Skull is not dumb!" Barry:"But weren't they just a gang that did... I don't even know what they do." Shiny:"Ha, you don't even know the awesomeness of team skull." Barry:"Anyway Shiny I'm going to be the world's toughest trainer, and you know it!" Shiny:"Replace tough with causes the most emotional issues and I think you have a shot." Barry:"Sigh, The first thing to do is take on the Oreburgh city pokemon gym. I'm gonna toughen up for that, totally!" Barry ran off. Wish's stats: Health:9/32 Pound:17/35 Sing:4/15 Wish:0/10 Metronome:0/10 Shiny ran to the pokemon center. "Buguitar, Wish, are you okay." "What, what happened?" "I became a horrible pokemon who can't even stick to their own virtues." "Wish?" "Don't look at me, I don't deserve to be looked at. I'm a terrible pokemon." Wish started crying. "Wish..." Buguitar came next to Wish. She didn't know how to make things better. Shiny:"Wish it wasn't your fault, RNG just hates our guts." "Great and I doomed our team to horrible RNG because I can't follow my virtues." "Wish... Please don't... Please don't be like this." "But I broke my own virtue. How can I forgive myself for this?" "Wish, please don't give up. You are, an amazing pokemon. So what if you made, a, single mistake?" "Single mistake? I did it twice. Arg I'm such a terrible pokemon. And great I'm dampening the mood by angsting about this. I'm sorry." "Don't be sorry Wish. You didn't really do anything to be sorry about. Wish hung his head down. "Who did this to Wish?" Shiny:"Barry, and RNG. In the heat of battle, well..." "Am I allowed to use bide on Barry?" Shiny:"No Buguitar that would get us in trouble. Though it would be a shame if you were to miss one of his pokemon and the attack kept going." "I like that plan." "Please don't do acts of violence because I failed at temperance." "Fine... Then... Though I wouldn't mind, well, doing it." Shiny:"Anyway I guess we should head out. New Rule! Wish due to breaking his virtue feels terrible. He will refuse to battle as the highest leveled pokemon if disobedience could kick in. Wish also wants to forget metronome asap as that is the accursed move that caused him to break his temperance. The trio headed to Jubilife Condominiums. They saw a girl with a Patchirezo and Pikachu. "Oh, your pokemon is quite adorable." Buguitar ducked down and blushed. Girl:"Here, try making them hold this quick claw." Shiny:"Here Buguitar try holding this quick claw." Buguitar took the quick claw. "Thanks..." The trio headed to route 204. A wild Budew appeared. "Okay Buguitar let's go!" Buguitar was sent out to battle. Buguitar gathered her emotions... Absorb... Absorb... Strike! Buguitar was poisoned by poison point. Budew grew. "Grrrolwrowlw!" the Budew continued to grow. "Um... maybe we should run." Said Shiny. The trio fled. "Ow..." Buguitar was suffering from the poison. "Buguitar are you okay?" "No..." "Shiny use your antidote!" Shiny:"But what if I need it latter?" "Buguitar is poisoned! What better time would be for an antidote?" Shiny:"A dungeon or the middle of a route. We could need it latter if one of you get poisoned there. But what if I need it even latter..." "Shiny?!" Shiny:"Okay we'll run to the pokemon center since that is close." "I think... I... might of... stopped... being, well... poisoned." Buguitar was stumbling at one health left. Buguitar was healed. The trio walked to route 203. In the tall grass they encountered a wild Starly. Buguitar gathered her emotions... Tackle... Growl... strike! The Starly was almost at half health and growled. "Groolwlwowl!" The Starly used quick attack. Buguitar gathered her emotions... Tackle... Growl... strike! The Starly had 1/4 health left and growled. "Grooolwlww!" Both pokemon growled then Starly quick attacked. Buguitar gathered her emotions... Growl... strike! But it was a miss. The Starly tried to tackle but it was also a miss. "Groooolwlww!" Buguitar was quick attacked, and of course it was a critical hit... Being faced with fainting and Wish being unwilling to battle Buguitar fled. Except the Starly chased Buguitar and growled at Buguitar, who's attack couldn't go lower. Buguitar was cornered by Starly and growled at. Buguitar's heart was racing. She finally managed to escape with only 2 health left. Buguitar was healed then this was tried again. Another Starly appeared. Starly quick attacked. Buguitar started gathering her emotions... Tackle... strike! Starly growled with just above 1/2 health. "Groolwowlw!" Buguitar was tackled. Buguitar gathered her emotions... Tackle... Quick attack... strike! The Starly fainted. Buguitar felt proud that she fainted the Starly all by herself. She could feel tremendous power flowing through her. Buguitar starting glowing white. Next thing she knew she was a towering giant with her hands replaced by swords. "Ahhh!" "Buguitar it looks like you evolved." Said Shiny. "Congratulations Buguitar! Wow, your so tall now!" "Um..." Buguitar was terrified. She wasn't really sure what to do with her body. It just changed so suddenly. Buguitar stumbled backwards. "Buguitar are you okay?" "No! Just what... what is this!" Shiny inspected Buguitar. "Well you evolved. It means that you changed shape and grew stronger." "How do I unevolve?" "You can't." Shiny answered. "Your a Kricketune now." "No, no, no, nonononononono no. This... this is just to much." "Buguitar, I'll help you get used to your evolution. Now first we should help you get up." Shiny and Wish helped Buguitar up. Shiny held onto Buguitar's scythe. "We should probably head into the pokemon center for the night." Said Shiny. The sun was setting and it was getting rather dark out. "Alright. A good night's sleep will help us in the morning." The trio walked to the pokemon center. Shiny helped the newly evolved Buguitar walk, but Buguitar started getting the hang of walking by the time they made it to the pokemon center. The trio rested on couches and cushions, and went to sleep.

• I beat Kirby's return to dreamland true arena. It is very easy for me. It is calming to just beat up some bosses for the heck of it. I have beaten it casually using only 2/3s of my healing items.
• I beat the highest level of the ultimate choice in Kirby star allies. Painter being able to heal even slightly with painter is OP. Francesca also spawns healing items which is good. I feel guilty for beating it with painter instead of hammer for the rest of these but void termina is the worst. The sudden game play change completely ruins it for me. I have also beaten soul melter EX with Adeline. After so many years she is back as a playable character and she is amazing. Still the hardest part of soul melter ex was void termina's outer phases as you can only take like 5 hits before you lose. Still I was so low from the before phases that I hid the entire time in the last phase trying not to lose and that ruined the final phase for me.
• Kirby triple deluxe. I am still wondering how I did it though. I bet it will take training to make it around as easy as Kirby return to dreamland's. Still Flowered sectoria's holes in her arena get me even in the normal arena, and I usually lose my hammer in that fight.
• The boss endurance in Kirby's nightmare in dreamland. It was surprisingly easy with a guide. Though it did take a ton of attempts. I think my time is 7:30, or maybe 9:30. I just remember my time ending in :30.

I almost beat the true arena in Kirby planet Robobot. I was this || close. I beat the soul OS with one health left. Then the final part of the kazio trap killed me. It was literally the final attack I died at. It was the third wave, I was flying up as the pattern was going up, middle, down but instead the final wave's only safe spot was the middle, and I died. It's, just that moment. Edit: Okay I tried again and I finally beat it for Kirby Planet Robobot.

Buguitar was wandering route 202. It was a rather normal day, but her hands were replaced by blades. She tried picking up a berry to eat, but her blades cut it into a million pieces. She tried drinking some water from a puddle, but her blades cut it in half. She tried playing catch with some other Kricketots, but she cut the ball in half. "Way to go Chalkboard." "Chalkboard messes up again." "Hahaha, Chalkboard failed. Let's all laugh at her." An army of Kricketots where all laughing at her. All eyes were on her. "Everybody stop!" she cried. She slashed at the Kricketots. Everyone she knew was gone. Buguitar began growing taller, and then she woke up. Buguitar's heart was pounding, but it was all just a dream. She was with Wish who constantly encouraged her to do better, and Shiny who had brought Wish to her and took her away everyone she used to know, a majority of them who bullied her. Everything was alright. And then she noticed her hands where replaced by blades. "AHHHH!" Shiny woke up. "Buguitar what the matter..." She said sleepily. Wish jolted awake. "Buguitar are you okay?" Buguitar realized she screamed inside a pokemon center, and that everyone was looking at her. "I'm... I'm fine." Buguitar ducked down, her cheeks red. Shiny stretched. "Yawn, so today I was thinking we would go towards route 203." "That sounds good, let's go!" The trio walked to route 203. Buguitar was at the front of the party. Michel:"I'm full of energy because I get power from my pokemon!" Buguitar was up against a level 5 Bidoof. Shiny wasted a turn while the Bidoof growled. Buguitar prepared her scythe to try out her new move fury cutter. Bidoof hardly took any damage. Bidoof tackled back. Buguitar growled while the Bidoof tackled back. Buguitar rushed in with Fury cutter while taking a tackle. The Bidoof looked like a 4HKO. Buguitar growled while taking a growl. Buguitar fury cutted Bidoof and the Bidoof fainted. Buguitar won her first battle after evolving with only taking 5 damage. To her it felt amazing. As per Wish's humility virtue Wish was up next. Wish switched into a Zubat. "Shiny I don't think I should battle... What if I break my temperance again? I don't want to risk it." Shiny Sighed. Wish was beginning to act like Buguitar, and one overly timid pokemon was enough. Shiny knew not to argue with Wish's virtues and switched in Buguitar. Buguitar took a super sonic. Buguitar was confused. Didn't Wish want to help everyone. Then why would he not want to help out in battle? Buguitar went in for a fury cutter. It did almost nothing. Zubat leech lifed in return. "GGORLORLEW!" Zubat leech lifed again. Buguitar tried to fury cutter again. Zubat used leech life and did one damage. "Grolrowlrw!" Zubat super soniced Buguitar again, and for some reason the 50% accuracy move hit again. Buguitar went in for a fury cutter but got distracted by looking at Wish and tripped on a rock. The Zubat leech lifed Buguitar. In rage Buguitar attempted to fury cutter again, it hitting this time. The Zubat leech lifed. Buguitar began to gather her emotions but fell backwards. Buguitar knew she was done for with only 8 health left. Buguitar desperately tried to gather her emotions again... leech life... leech life... strike! Zubat lost nearly half of its health. Buguitar Fury cutted with all her might to be leech lifed in return. Shiny checked her bag to see her only healing item was an antidote. Buguitar desperately growled. Zubat used leech life. With the last of her strength Buguitar charged at Zubat using Fury cutter but missed. The Zubat used supersonic, but missed. Buguitar gave a weak growl. Finally the last of her health was drained away by the Zubat's leech life. Wish was in shock. Due to his own selfishness of wanting to keep his own virtues he let Buguitar faint when she needed him the most. Maybe the way he was looking at things was wrong. Maybe he shouldn't stop battling all together to follow his virtues, but instead help if his team really need it. Wish was ready to face the Zubat and avenge Buguitar. New rule! Well more of an alteration. If Wish is the highest leveled pokemon and his disobedience could kick in he may only battle if the rest of his team is either in the red zone or have fainted. Wish pounded the Zubat. In one hit the Zubat went from a little above half health to one health left. Wish took a leech life and a super sonic. Wish was hurt by leech life and confusion of whether he was even following his own virtues at all. Wish wiggled his stub and used super sonic, that hit. Zubat flew into the ground leaving him at one health. Wish pounded away Zubat's last health but felt terrible. He leveled up, and let Buguitar faint. Michel:"Oh! My poor Bidoof and Zubat!" Shiny ran to the pokemon center. Both Shiny and Wish turned to Buguitar and asked "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." Buguitar couldn't believe she lost to a Zubat after evolving. She swore if she saw another one... Shiny went and checked the pokemart. Shiny bought 2 potions. She also bought ten pokeballs because they are awesome. Shiny now broke with only 108 pokedollars left went back to route 203. Shiny found and picked up a pokeball. She ran into a wild Starly. Buguitar was out. She began with Fury cutter while taking a growl. "Grolwrlowl!" while taking another growl. Buguitar then alternated between fury cutter and bide until the Starly fainted, scoring a critical hit with the first fury cutter. Buguitar finished the battle with 30 health left. Dallas:"We're always together. I'll show you how we've bonded." Buguitar was out against another Kricketot. Shiny wasted a turn. Buguitar took a growl. Buguitar used fury cutter while the Kricketot growled. "Grolrolw!" While the Kricketot used bide. Buguitar followed suit. Buguitar wanted to avoid damage but as soon as her bide stopped the Kricketot's started again. "Grolrolw!" Shiny wasted a turn so Buguitar wouldn't be hurt. Buguitar used fury cutter. The opposing Kricketot somehow was faster than Buguitar and used bide before she could fury cutter. Buguitar used bide in an attempt to bide the damage from bide. Buguitar finished off the Kricketot with 22 health left. Could feel power flowing through her and leveled up. Dallas:"It's got me down." The trio continued along route 203. Kaitlin:"I found a trainer while looking for some pokemon!" Shiny wasted a turn. Buguitar took a tackle. Buguitar used fury cutter while the Bidoof used tackle, it's only move. "Grolrolrw!" Buguitar used fury cutter and the Bidoof went down and a Budew took it's place. Wish came out for a moment only to let Buguitar back in. Buguitar faced a growth. Buguitar used fury cutter while taking an absorb. Buguitar then gathered her emotions... Absorb... Growth... Strike! Budew used absorb just exiting the yellow zone. Buguitar used fury cutter again. The Budew fainted. Due to Wish's humility Wish switched in only to be switched out again. Buguitar took a growl from the foe's Starly. Buguitar fury cuttered hardly doing any damage. Starly growled again. Buguitar gathered her emotions... growl... tackle that missed... strike? But only then did the tackle hit. Buguitar fury cuttered again while taking a growl. Buguitar gathered her emotions... tackle... growl... strike! The Starly went into the yellow then used tackle. Buguitar used fury cutter and the Starly fainted. Kaitlin:"Hun? Your finished so soon?" Shiny rushed to the pokemon center. They then came back. "Hey Buguitar, I was thinking that we should grind you a little so your the same level as Wish." "Um... okay." They battled a Starly, Starly, Starly and Starly. Shiny could have sworn one of them was holding an ID card for the Pidgeonation. Buguitar grew to level 12! The trio headed down route 203. Sebastian:"Gimme a battle so I can see if I'm ready for the Pokemon Gym challenge!" Shiny:"Well if you don't have anything over level 9 than I say you defiantly aren't." Buguitar was out against a level 7 Machop. Shiny wasted a turn. Machop used Leer. Buguitar used fury cutter while taking a low kick. "Grolrwolrwl!" Machop used low kick that was a critical hit! Buguitar gathered her emotions... low kick... low kick... strike! Machop was at half health and used leer. Buguitar used fury cutter that was a critical hit! It felt amazing to Buguitar as her sycthe smashed against the Machop as it fell to the ground. Sebastion:"I guess it means I'm not ready for the Pokemon Gym challenge yet..." Shiny quickly healed Buguitar then came back. Madeline:"I got a nifty-keen Gym Badge from the Gym Leader in Oreburgh City!" Shiny:"Is there any reason why you keep on capitalizing the words that have to do with a gym?" Shiny wasted a turn. The foe Starly used growl. Buguitar gathered her emotions... quick attack... tackle... strike! Buguitar one shoted the Starly, and it felt awesome to her. "Let's go!" Wish switched in for humility. Wish pounded the Bidoof while taking two tackles. "Here Buguitar, you should get some experience too." Wish switched out. Buguitar took a growl. "Grolrolrw!" Buguitar took a tackle. Buguitar used fury cutter while taking a growl. Buguitar gathered her emotions... growl... tackle... strike! Bidoof growled. Buguitar used fury cutter. The Bidoof fainted. Madeline:"Oh, I lost. Lalala!" Shiny wondered how someone could have beat Rowark with two level 5 pokemon, one of them being weak to rock and neither having a move that wasn't no very effective. They ran into an Abra but ran away. Shiny found 175 poke err a repel. Buguitar defeated a Shinx and saw a sign. "Hey look Oreburgh city. It's just beyond this Zubat infested cave." Buguitar shuddered at the memory of the last of her energy being sucked away with two sharp fangs. "Um... maybe we could... heal first?" "Okay" said Shiny. They went to the pokemon center then headed back towards route 204. Buguitar knew she had to act fast. "I um... saw something really shiny in that direction. Yeah, it was super valuable." "Someone could have dropped it. Come on Shiny we have to check it out." "But Zubat cave..." Shiny was forced to follow her two pokemon who were heading west. Buguitar had an large grin on her face. Shiny was catching her breath. "Can you believe it." She said to a random fisherman. "My pokemon..." "Love fishing?" The fisherman finished. "Do you also love fishing?" "I guess it's pretty cool" Shiny answered. "Then take this. The all mighty old rod. Scientifically engineered to catch Magikarps 100% of the time. May the Magikarps be with you." Shiny showed Wish and Buguitar the fishing rod. "Well I know what we are going to do now." The trio walked to route 218. "Ooo a stick! What are we going to do with it?" "This," Shiny answered. She sat down on a small island and cast her rod. Normal Magikarp... Shiny tried to cast it back into the water but Wish and Shiny couldn't escape. The Magikarp splashed fearsomly. Buguitar walked over and threw the Magikarp back into the water. Shiny continued to fish looking for something that wasn't a normal Magikarp. Two Magikarp latter a shiny appeared. Wish readied himself. Wish started to chant something. And you all know the terrifying move that Magikarp used. "Give it some words and a sweet harmony." the Magikarp fell asleep. Shiny threw a pokeball. And it worked! Shiny named the Magikarp Fishbun, after a really weak enemy in Ittle dew 2. Shinys encountered:12 Shinys caught:8 Wish checked along the bridges. "Huh I don't see anything here." "Wait... I'm well... not really used to my scythes yet and I meant to point northwest. To you know route 203." She was umm... encouraging expansion of the team. Buguitar couldn't think of anything beyond this to stall going to zubat cave. "Then we must go there. Someone could have lost something really important." Shiny was then dragged by her pokemon to route 203. They walked around with Wish at the lead. After searching through the tall grass for a while and what felt like over 20 wild pokemon they encountered a shiny Starly. Wish pounded it to the yellow zone. Shiny just wanting something out of this threw a pokeball. Shiny promptly named the Starly 3000 Years as that was how it felt to Shiny how long it took to run into a shiny with Wish in the lead. Shinys encountered:13 Shinys caught:9 Shiny sort of wanted a Shiny Budew but after how long it took to find 3000 Years Shiny was out of it. "Okay we have searched for a long time and have found nothing. Let's just go to Zubat cave already." "But we found an old rod, Fishbun and 3000 Years along the way. But we never did find that item that someone could have lost..." Shiny thought for a moment. "Your right, we did get an old rod." They went to the pokemon center then route 204, facing Zubat cave. Buguitar twiddled her scythes nervously. They stepped into Oreburgh gate. "Oh and did I forget to mention that Geodudes are actually more common than Zubats in this cave, or at least according to this wiki page I pulled up. Look you can also evolve Eevee into Steeleon here by running around the outline of the cave 3 times tossing 3 pokeballs each step while Eevee knows bite and encounters a wild pokemon on the last step that causes Eevee to level up. It's a wiki so it must be true. Too bad I don't have any Eevees though." Shiny took a few steps in. "Shiny? that Steeleon thing sounds like a lie, how does tossing pokeballs affect evolution?" Shiny shrugged. Buguitar's eye twitched. There wasn't leech lifeing Zubats every step, there were geodudes too? A Hiker approached and said, "Oh, lookie there! You've got a Poketech! Hm... You're still a pretty new Trainer, aren''t you." "Yeah I guess." Shiny answered, "I only have 9 shinys and 17+ hours of journey time." "But it's all good! You're a new fellow friend of pokemon! So, let me make a gift of this hidden machine to you!" The hiker handed her HM06, rock smash. "Thanks!" Shiny replied. "That's a hidden machine..." he droned on about HMs and Rock Smash, nothing she didn't learn at trainer school before she went on this journey. Though if you asked her riding Tarous to call at any moment to smash rocks sounded much more practical than wasting your pokemon's move slots. Shiny began thinking dreamily of what she have heard of the Alola region, and team skull. "...outside of battle." She nodded and pretended she was listening to what the Hiker just said. The trio headed deeper right into the cave. Suddenly, Curtis:"We Trainers will accept challenges anywhere! It's what we do." Buguitar was up. Shiny wasted a turn. Buguitar took a tackle. Buguitar ran to the Shinx and Fury cutted the Shinx's tackle. "Grolrowlw!" Shinx leered Buguitar. Buguitar used Fury Cutter again while taking a leer. "Grolorlolrw!" Buguitar took a tackle. Buguitar charged at the Shinx with fury cutter and the Shinx fell. Buguitar could feel herself getting stronger, and gaining a level. Curtis:"Hmm... Insafishently raised?" He said. Shiny wondered if he was talking about his own pokemon. They headed deeper into the cave. Wish encountered a normal Geodude, but fled. Diana:"To celebrate my getting through this cave, I'm going to battle you." Shiny:"But the exit is right there." Shiny pointed ahead. Diana:"Do you know how many Zubats are swarming this place? Go Budew!" Shiny wasted a turn. Budew protected herself from fire by covering the battle field in water. Buguitar used fury cutter on the Budew causing the Budew to go to the yellow. The Budew used absorb and healed a single health to go back into the green zone. "Grolrowlrw!" The Budew grew in response. Buguitar went in for another Furry Cutter. The Budew fainted. Wish was up next. Wish switched into Psyduck landing a critical scratch. Wish took two tail whips and two scratches. Wish began to chant something. The Psyduck landed another critical scratch. Wish pounded the Psyduck. Wish was tail whiped in return. Wish's Wish came true and was healed back to 24 health. Wish wiggled a stub and used psych up. The Psyduck responded with a tail whip. "Raise your voices all day now love grows strong now." Wish sang. Psyduck fell asleep. Wish pounded Psyduck. Psyduck immediately woke up and used tail whip. Wish wiggled a stub and used last resort and Psyduck's last HP fell away. Diana:"Well', I guess losing is something to commemorate too..." The exit was up ahead. The trio exited Oreburgh gate. It led way to the blinding light outside. Shiny read a sign "Oreburgh City, City of Engery." Shiny was confused. Didn't school teach her Sunnyshore had solar panel streets? "Wow this town looks so nice!" Wish cheered. A young boy walked up to them. "Howdy, Trainer!" "Hello! How are you?" The boy continued, "If you don't have a single Gym Badge, other trainers will look down on you like you're a total noob, right?" "What kind of door knob?" Shiny asked. "Yeah gyms are the best kind of challenge way better than those awful trials in Alola." "So I'll show you where the town's Pokemon Gym is." The boy finished. "Thank you. That's kind of you." The trio followed the boy. He saw the gym entrance and mumbled "Huh? There's someone there. Is that guy there your friend? He looks twitchy and impatient." "I guess he is?" Shiny answered. "Though he has been doing a lot of deteriorating my pokemon's sanity this journey." Shiny turned to her pokemon, "I guess we could talk to him, but I was thinking we could look around Oreburgh gate some more." "Yay exploration!" "As long as there aren't any Zubats..." The trio healed then headed back into Oreburgh gate. They took the upper path this time. But there were rocks. "Well that didn't go very far..." Shiny started walking around the cave with Wish in the lead. They encountered a normal Geodude, Geodude, and then a shiny. Wish wiggled a stub and used embargo. The shiny Geodude tackled Wish, then fell in love. Wish pounded the Geodude. Geodude was looking at how cute Wish is. Wish started chanting something. The Geodude was still staring. Wish started singing "Sing a song about, love oh love." however the Geodude was to busy mud sporing to notice. Shiny threw a pokeball, and it worked! Shiny named it Nugget as it looked like a gold nugget. Shinys encountered:14 Shinys caught:10 Wish cheered at making a new friend. They ran around some more a normal Geodude, Zubat, and then another Shiny Geodude came up. Wish wiggled a stub and used ice fang, freezing the Geodude in the process. Wish backed away so Buguitar could get in. Buguitar switched into the Geodude thawing out and defense curling. "Grolrolwlrw!" the geodude continued to curl. Buguitar gathered her emotions... tackle... mudsport... strike! The Geodude defense curled in the red zone. Buguitar ran forward and fury cutted the Geodude. The Geodude tackled in response. Buguitar gathered her emotions...Mud sport... Tackle... strike! The shiny Geodude fell giving Wish and Buguitar some experience. The trio then walked out of the cave. Shinys encountered:15 Shinys caught:10 The trio went to the pokemon center. "Ah so soon we are facing Rowark. I've heard he has rock type Pokemon. Buguitar are you ready for this!" Shiny asked Buguitar. "No..." Fainting from a rock type move, none of her moves being normally effective. Buguitar rubbed her scythes in anticipation of what was likely to happen. "Dont worry Buguitar I've got your back." Wish looked at Buguitar with a look of determination. Buguitar smiled. "Alright after lunch it is." Shiny said, "We'll head over to the Gym and challenge Rowark. Though we will probably have to face Barry who is at the entrance of the gym." Wish sighed. Buguitar let out a small growl. The began to eat lunch.
