Let's Play Pokemon Crystal!

[MammonAzrael]

I’ve been inspired to try a Let’s Play of Pokemon Crystal because of others I’ve seen here. I’ve never done a Let’s Play before, and I’d like a chance to stretch my creative and writing muscles. So please bear with me if things are a little rocky or unpolished at first. Any suggestions or critique is welcome.

I have chosen Pokemon Crystal for several reasons. The second generation has always been my favorite iteration of the games. I remember being so excited when I got both Red and Blue for my 13th birthday, and playing them extensively. In fact I was the first kid at my school to collect all 150 (and I still have that save game on my original cartridge of Blue). Then, when Gold and Silver came out, the new pokemon and types were fascinating and pulled me back in. But what cemented my love for this generation was completing Jhoto, and then discovering that I could return to Kanto, my old stomping grounds, and stomp around all over again. I loved it. And I never got a chance to play Crystal, so it seems the perfect choice.

As I’m sure you’re expecting, this will be using a Nuzlockesque rule set to make the game more interesting and challenging.

If a pokemon faints, it’s dead. It must be released into the wild.
I may only capture the first new pokemon I encounter in any given area.

If it faints, flees, or I am otherwise unable to catch it, I get no pokemon from that area.
A pokemon is “new” if I don’t have it’s full pokedex entry.
Legendaries are exempt from this rule.
Event-based pokemon, such as fossils and trades, are exempt from this rule.

Use a Set battle mode, for more “realistic” battles
Each pokemon must have a nickname and a personality.
You, the readers, will have voice in naming my pokemon and deciding their personalities (and deciding my starter).


And for everyone reading this and enjoying it, I ask you to please speak up and toss in some votes. The more people involved, the more fun I think we’ll all have!

Characters

Mammon
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Mammon.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Badges.png

Our protagonist. Waking up in New Bark Town with a massive headache and no idea what is going on, Mammon is slowly learning to accept the insanity he sees all around him. His goal is still to find out what is going on and why he is in this crazy world, even though everyone else seems to think his goal is to take the Pokemon Gym Challenge.

With two Gym Badges now in his possession, Mammon is feeling more comfortable in this strange world. His leading theory is that he is in a coma and the entire world is a strange fabrication of his mind. The various personalities he has encountered have not been encouraging indicators of his mental health.

Mr. Snaps
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/MrSnaps1.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/MrSnaps2.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/MrSnaps3.png

Given as a gift from Professor Elm to help Mammon run some errands for the Professor, Mr. Snaps is a brave a loyal companion who doesn’t hesitate to protect his “boss.” That said, he enjoys making jokes as Mammon’s expense, usually based on Mammon’s ignorance. A desire to protect Mammon and his fellow pokemon have awoken a noticeable anger within Mr. Snaps, and triggered a transformation into a Croconaw.

Grawk
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Grawk1.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Grawk2.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Grawk3.png

A veteran of numerous campaigns against the spearows for Route 46, this pidgey has defended her next against all types of invaders. Holds a grudge against Violet City Gym Leader Falkner, as his obsession with bird pokemon has been a danger and harassment to all bird pokemon in the area for years. Determined to get stronger and not fall behind, Grawk evolved into a Pidgeotto shortly after Mr. Snaps.

Gem
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Gem1.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Gem2.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Gem3.png

Sporting a passion for jewelry and nearly anything shiny or pretty, Gem is an otherwise reliable pokemon. When not focused on her “pretties” she is a reliable and trustworthy pokemon. One of the few that seem rather stable, all things considered.

Nappa
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Nappa1.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Nappa2.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Nappa3.png

Nappa is a ghost. The amazing ramifications this implies is largely ignored by the world, save Mammon. For unknown reasons he insists on referring to Mammon as “Vegeta,” and grows excited or distracted easily.

Panzer
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Panzer1.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Panzer2.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Panzer3.png

Mammon was initially thrilled to catch this pokemon, a nice simple dog. Panzer’s hair-trigger and inclination to burn down his opponents have shown him to be just as off as everything else in this world. He enjoys traveling with Mammon, primarily because it affords him the opportunity to meet and burn a large variety of new opponents.



Pokemon in reserve

Vakk
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Vakk1.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Vakk2.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Vakk3.png

Now a Butterfree, Vakk was found and captured as a caterpie, as seems to have an intense hatred of trainers and any pokemon owned by them. Disgusted with being captured, he constantly threatens others, including Mammon, and fights to grow stronger only so that he may bring an end to all trainers in the world. He was abandoned by a trainer early in life, which lead to his hatred of all things trainer-related. After attempting to attack Mammon, Vakk is now in the care of a professional Day Care.

Scott
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Scott1.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Scott2.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Scott3.png

Evading capture initially, Scott seems to have a knack for dodging and evading opponents.

Dawn
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Dawn1.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Dawn2.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Dawn3.png

Hatched from an egg given to Mammon from Professor Elm, Dawn is constantly cheerful, finding happiness and silver linings everywhere.

George
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/George1.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/George2.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/George3.png

George was rescued from the Slowpoke Well after his tail had been harvested by Team Rocket. He isn’t particularly quick, and is fearful of having his tail removed yet again.

Tinsley
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Tinsley1.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Tinsley2.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Tinsley3.png

Tinsley is rather annoying, and takes delight is mocking others.

Drake
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Drake1.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Drake2.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Drake3.png

An aggressive rattata, Drake has a greatly inflated sense of her own importance and abilities. She took the name Drake because it sounded powerful and dangerous.

Fern
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Fern1.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Fern2.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Opener/Fern3.png

Fern, much like Gem, can essentially pass for normal. Absentminded at times, he is a generally happy pokemon.

Mammon: Oh…oh god, my head. Ugh…it feels so stuffed…where…where am I?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue1.png

Mammon: What...? Who…? I’m…a boy…

Mammon: Ahh! It got so bright, where is this light coming from?! It feels like it’s drilling into my skull! Where did you come from? What do you mean, waiting? Where am I?
???: Welcome to the world of pokemon!
Mammon: The what now?
???: My name is Oak. People call me the Pokemon Professor.
Mammon: Ok…and this is a world of pokemon…is this your world then? Did you bring me…well, wherever we are right now?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue8.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue9.png

Mammon: Whoa, what the hell is that?! And where the hell did you go?! What’s going on here!?
Prof. Oak: People and pokemon live together by supporting each other. Some people play with pokemon, some battle with them.
Mammon: Ok, I guess that makes…wait, battle with them?! Did you say battle?!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue14.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue15.png

Prof. Oak: There are still many mysteries to solve. That’s why I study pokemon every day.
Mammon: Great, you study them. Now get back to the point where you tell me what is going on here!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue19.png

Mammon: What? How do you know my name?!
Prof. Oak: Your very own pokemon story is about to unfold. You’ll face fun times and tough challenges. A world of dreams and adventures with pokemon awairs! Let’s go!
Mammon: What’re you talking about?! You still haven’t told me where we are or what’s going on! What do you mean my story is about to unfold?! Hello? HELLO?!

Mammon: Oh…God my head hurts…Where am I now?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue27.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue28.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue29.png

Mammon: Huh…my bedroom…well at least it seems like I’m back in reality now. What a weird dream…I gotta write it down before I forget the details.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue30.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue31.png

Mammon: Wait a minute…this doesn’t look like my computer…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue32.png

Mammon: It can’t be mine! My email is gone, empty! Just what is going on here!?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue33.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue34.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue35.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue36.png
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue37.png

Mammon: Where is this place? New Bark Town, where is that? And Jhoto? Is that a country or something? This isn’t where I live! I live…I…live…why can’t I finish that sentence? Why can’t I remember where I live? What is wrong with me? I gotta get out of here…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue38.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue39.png

Mammon: Oh good, some people. Maybe they can help me. I hope they don’t freak out because I’m in their house…Excuse me!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue40.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue41.png

Mammon: What?
Lady: he said he wanted you to do something for him.
Mammon: Okay…but I don’t know who this professor is…wait, there was a professor in my weird dream! Who is this professor…and more importantly, where I am?
Lady: Oh! I almost forgot! Your Pokemon Gear is back from the repair shop. Here you go!
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue47.png

Mammon: Umm…thanks? And this is…?
Lady: Pokemon Gear, or just PokeGear. It’s essential if you want to be a good trainer.
Mammon: Good trainer..? Wait, pokemon gear, is that what you called it? That’s the same thing from my dream just now!
Lady:By the way, do you know how to use the phone?
Mammon: Yes, of course I know how to use a phone. Now get back to this pokemon thing! And tell me about this professor!
Lady: Professor Elm is waiting for you. Hurry up, baby!
Mammon: Baby? That’s disturbingly familiar for someone I don’t know. Lady?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue55.png

Mammon: Fine then, maybe someone else will shine a light on what is going on here.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue56.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue57.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue58.png

Mammon: That’s nice. Why do you all know my name?
Visiting Lady: Mammon, have you heard? My daughter is adamant about becoming Professor Elm’s assistant. She really loves pokemon!
Mammon: Alright, if you don’t want to fill me in either, I guess I need to figure this out myself. Thanks for not calling the cops, I guess.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue63.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue64.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue65.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue66.png

Mammon: Okay, time to get a grip. Things out here look pretty normal for nighttime…aside from not know where the hell I am, of course. Hmm…maybe I’ll recognize an address or something.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue67.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue68.png

Mammon: What the…my house?! Okay, this has officially gone past weird and is well into creepy territory.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue69.png

Mammon: Excuse me, Sir?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue70.png

Man: I hear Professor Elm discovered some new pokemon.
Mammon: Riiight. So apparently this whole town is in on it. Well unlike all those horror movie corpses, I’m not sticking around to have the mystery kill me. I’m outta here!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue73.png

Mammon: Oh great…maybe I can just ignore her…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue74.png

Mammon: Ahh, what the hell lady?! Let go of me!
Grabby Lady: It’s dangerous to go out without a pokemon! Wild pokemon jump out of the grass on the way to the next town.
Mammon: So you’re saying I’m trapped here then? I can’t leave this creepy town? Not without one of these pokemon things you all are talking about? Well that’s just great…I guess I don’t have any choice but to try and figure this crap out. Guess I’ll need to ask around then.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue79.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue80.png

Mammon: Hello? May I come in? Hi there, do you mind if I ask you a few questions, ma’am?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue81.png

Red-head: I was amazed by Professor Elm’s findings. He’s so famous for his research on pokemon evolution.
Mammon: Professor Elm again? Pokemon evolution? Please ma’am, what can you tell me of this Professor Elm?
Red-head: …*sigh*…I wish I could be a researcher like him…
Mammon: Uhuh. Okay, well thanks anyways.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue89.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue90.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue91.png

Mammon: Elm’s house, eh? Well this is the guy everyone seems to be talking about, and that one lady did tell me to talk to him. I guess this is where I need to go.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue92.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue93.png

Mammon: Hello, I’m looking for Professor Elm, is he in?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue94.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue95.png

Mrs. Elm: When he’s caught up in his pokemon research, he even forgets to eat.
Mammon: Your husband? So he’s out doing research? Okay then. And what about you little one, do you know where the professor is?
Kid Elm: When I grow up, I’m going to help my dad! I’m going to be a great pokemon professor!
Mammon: You do that kid. Follow your dreams. Just don’t make them someone elses, okay?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue102.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue103.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue104.png

Mammon: Bingo, this is what I’m looking for! Wait, what’s that guy doing? Maybe he knows something…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue105.png

Mammon: Excuse me…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue106.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue107.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue108.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue109.png

Mammon: Damn, that hurt. Okay, I’m not talking to that crazy SoB again. Well, lets see what is in this lab of the professor’s.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue110.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue111.png

Mammon: Hmm…Looks pretty standard. Who’s that in the back, he looks rather official and on top of things here. Maybe he’s this Elm everyone is talking about!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue112.png

Mammon: Hi there.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue113.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue114.png

Mammon: Yes, here I am. The way you say that like you know me is really weird guy. How do you know my name?
Prof. Elm: I needed to ask you a favor.
Mammon: No one here will tell me what is going on, and you want to ask me for a favor?
Prof. Elm: I’m conducting new pokemon research right now. I was wondering if you could help me with it, Mammon. You see…I’m writing a paper that I want to present at a conference. But there are some things I don’t quite understand yet.
Mammon: Yeah, there are a number of things that I’m not understanding myself right now, and you’re really not helping clear things up.
Prof. Elm: So! I’d like you to raise a pokemon that I recently caught.
Mammon: You want me to…raise one? So…their like a pet or something? And you want me to take care of one of these weird pokemon things? Hmm…Well that lady outside did say I’d need one to get out of this town. Okay Professor, I’ll play your game for now. I’ll raise one of these pokemon for you.
Prof. Elm: Thanks, Mammon! You’re a great help!
Mammon: Your enthusiasm is making me wonder if I’d be better off just staying here…
Prof. Elm: When I announce my findings, I’m sure we’ll delve a bit deeper into the many mysteries of pokemon. You can count on it!
Mammon: Umm…yay?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue133.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Prologue/Prologue134.png

Prof. Elm: ….Hm…Uh-huh…I have an acquaintance called Mr. Pokemon. He keeps finding weird things and raving about his discoveries. Anyway, I just got an e-mail from him saying that this time it’s real. It is intriguing, but we’re bust with our pokemon research…Mammon, can you go in our place?
Mammon: Wait, so you’ve got a second job for me now too? Well I guess I’m not getting out of here without agreeing, am I? Alright, I’ll go check this thing out for you.
Prof. Elm: I want you to raise one of the pokemon contained in these Balls. You’ll be that pokemon’s first partner, Mammon! Go on, Pick one!
Mammon: Alright. So one of these balls on this table? What’re these, like kittie carriers or something? Whatever. I guess I’ll take a look at these things.

OK guys, what do you think so far? And which pokemon starter should I pick?
First up will be Route 29, where I could encounter a Pidgey, Sentret, Rattata, Hoppip, or Hoothoot.
Then I'll could come to Route 46, where I could meet a Geodude, Spearow, Rattata, or Phanphy.
Route 30is up next, offering Caterpie, Weedle, Pidgey, Ledyba, Hoppip, Spinarak, Hoothoot, Poliwag, and Zubat. Wow that's a lot of options!
Then we've got the option to step into the Dark Cave, where Geodude, Zubat, Dunsparce, and Teddiursa lurk.
Finally, in route 31 we're offered up the chance to capture a Bellsprout, Caterpie, Weedle, Pidgey, Ledyba, Hoppip, Spinarak, Poliwag, Hoothoot, Zubat, or Ghastly!
Oh, and Sprout Tower, where I could find a Rattata or Ghastly.


And if I get a Bellsprout, I'll have the option to trade it for an Onix.

[Deme]

I dig me some Cyndaquil, personally.

Also, you may want to transcribe some of the dialogue, since Pokemon cuts all of the dialogue scrolling in wierd ways. Just flows better.

[arguskos]

OHGODTHEPICTURESAUUUUUUUUUGH

Also, in other news, I don't see more than one pkmn there. I mean, the firerat is pretty cute, so it's not like we need other choices or something.

Alsoalso, why not HeartGold/SoulSilver? I mean, I loved Crystal too, but HG/SS ended up surprising me and taking Crystal's place in my heart as my favorite.

Two votes for the little fire...mouse?

I know there's a lot of pictures, I tried to keep them to just displaying the relevant info. In the future I'll try transcribing speeches and such.

arguskos...are the other two pics not actually showing up for you, or is that your way of saying cyndaquil is the only option? :smallsmile:

I thought about HG/SS...but I don't know of any way to play those on my computer - do you?

[arguskos]

arguskos...are the other two pics not actually showing up for you, or is that your way of saying cyndaquil is the only option? :smallsmile:
Oh, I see two other pictures, but they have this strange blank image where the pokeymanz should be. It's... it's as though the gods are telling me to push for Cyndaquil (also known as "that damn firemouse"). Yeah, I see 'em fine, but Cyndy is the one I'm voting for


I thought about HG/SS...but I don't know of any way to play those on my computer - do you?
It *can* be done, but uh, we can't talk about it here. >_> Also, I've never managed to make it work (cause I had a Mac at the time and the software didn't play nicely with said Mac).

Heh...good, just checking.

>_>
<_<

Yeeeah...pretty much something like that.

[Eledragon]

cyndaquil Chikorita. Because Chikorita.

OH MAH GAWRSH SO CUTE AHAHAHA!

[MammonAzrael]

Allright, and a vote for the grass...thing.

Don't forget guys, names/personalities can be suggested too! :smallsmile:

EDIT: Also, I'll be going through a different few routes!


First up will be Route 29, where I could encounter a Pidgey, Sentret, Rattata, Hoppip, or Hoothoot.
Then I'll could come to Route 46, where I could meet a Geodude, Spearow, Rattata, or Phanphy.
Route 30is up next, offering Caterpie, Weedle, Pidgey, Ledyba, Hoppip, Spinarak, Hoothoot, Poliwag, and Zubat. Wow that's a lot of options!
Then we've got the option to step into the Dark Cave, where Geodude, Zubat, Dunsparce, and Teddiursa lurk.

Oh, and Sprout Tower, where I could find a Rattata or Ghastly.


And if I get a Bellsprout, I'll have the option to trade it for an Onix.

[Illven]

There's still the shiny gold option. Unless you intend to go to Red.


Also Cyndaquil for your starter.

[MammonAzrael]

Ok, the vote for fire I understand, but the first sentence? Not so much. shiny gold and Red?

[Illven]

Ok, the vote for fire I understand, but the first sentence? Not so much. shiny gold and Red?

Shiny gold is a hack of fire red I think, that makes a 3rd gen Johto game, however it's not finished, and if you intend to carry this let's play to Red on Mt.Silver then Shiny gold won't work for you.

oh ma gawrsh Phanphy SO CUTE AHAHAHA!

Ahh. Yeah, I was planning on taking this as far as we managed to survive. And thanks for the suggestion, but I think I'll steer clear of the hack, at least for now. :smallsmile:

[Illven]

Ahh. Yeah, I was planning on taking this as far as we managed to survive. And thanks for the suggestion, but I think I'll steer clear of the hack, at least for now. :smallsmile:

Okay then, just thought you should know.

If you get a Bellsprout, I'd suggest not trading it for Onix

[MammonAzrael]

Wants in bold.



oh ma gawrsh Phanphy SO CUTE AHAHAHA!

Hmm...being a little more clear, I can't decide which I'll get. Thats is based purely on what I encounter first. Those various options are so you guys can offer up name/personality suggestions.

And I'd like to pick up the Phanphy too, but I've got a pretty low chance of realistically nabbing it...technically, with the rules I laid out, I could avoid route 46 until I caught a geodude, spearow, and rattata, and then I could come back and go through encounters til' I found one, but that'd be gaming the system, which would be against the spirit of the Let's Play.

[Blue Ghost]

A vote for Chikorita! 'Cause Chikorita's super adorable and awesome.

[Fera Tian]

Get Totodile, he will be snarky yet loyal and named Mr. Snaps, without regard to gender.

[MammonAzrael]

Okay, so far 3 for Cyndaquil, 2 for Chikorita, and 1 for Totodile!

And thus far, only a single name/personality suggestion....for the current last place! :smalltongue:

[John Cribati]

Since I always Chose Totodile, I vote for Cyndaquil.

Also, I think Cyndaquil is supposed to be a shrew (http://www.naturephoto-cz.com/photos/andera/common-shrew-3806.jpg).

As for personality... Since a Random word generator gave me "Famished," I'll say that Cyndaquil is Always Hungry. His name will be Black Hole.

I'm sorry, but I change my mind. Snarky Totodile Mr. Snaps please.

[Eledragon]

New list of names!

~~~~~~
Pidgey-Grawk, a grizzled war veteran.
Sentret-Ferrow, a perky person who runs all over the place.

Hoothoot-Withers, an old, sleepy, person.


Route 46
~~~~~~
Geodude-Gem, fascinated with well-cut gems or Nuggets.

and I vote for Rocky the Onix.

also note, that I ran out of ides, but feel free to move 'em :smallsmile:

[Illven]

Gastly is GhostNappa. Always looking for Vegeta, and has hilariously
de-railing one-liners

[Seerow]

1) I don't see any problem with gaming the system in a Let's Play. If need be give some roleplay explanation for it. You can easily bypass the road without commenting on it, then later on after having seen a phamphy go looking through your pokedex and realize "Oh **** I forgot to go there!". Or a hundred other justifications. If you really want it, go for it.

2) My vote is on totodile. But I really wish you were playing HGSS version, the attacks being split to physical and special by move rather than by type was a huge boost to him.

[Thormag]

Prologue

OK guys, what do you think so far? And which pokemon starter should I pick?

Chikorita


First up will be Route 29, where I could encounter a Pidgey, Sentret, Rattata, Hoppip, or Hoothoot.

Hoppip

Then I'll could come to Route 46, where I could meet a Geodude, Spearow, Rattata, or Phanphy.

Geodude

Route 30is up next, offering Caterpie, Weedle, Pidgey, Ledyba, Hoppip, Spinarak, Hoothoot, Poliwag, and Zubat. Wow that's a lot of options!

Poliwag!

Then we've got the option to step into the Dark Cave, where Geodude, Zubat, Dunsparce, and Teddiursa lurk.

Teddiursa

Finally, in route 31 we're offered up the chance to capture a Bellsprout, Caterpie, Weedle, Pidgey, Ledyba, Hoppip, Spinarak, Poliwag, Hoothoot, Zubat, or Ghastly!

Bellsprout

Oh, and Sprout Tower, where I could find a Rattata or Ghastly.

Ghastly


And if I get a Bellsprout, I'll have the option to trade it for an Onix.

Don't :smallbiggrin:


10 characters

[John Cribati]

If you catch a Zubat, name him Tinsley. He's an annoying sod (with a British Accent if you're letting them talk) who loves to troll people/pokemon and won't go away.

[MammonAzrael]

Sorry Seerow, but I'm not able to run HG/SS on my computer. There are certainly advancements like that that I'll miss, but it should be a huge deal since the play through will be primarily for the story, and not competition. :smallsmile:

And the voting now stands tied at cyndaquil 3, totodile 3, and chikorita 3! And so far only the totodile has a name. :smallsmile:

[Eledragon]

I motion for chikorita to be named Sylvana!

[Illven]

If the Cyndaquil is female, I motion that it be called Jenna.

[MammonAzrael]

Any reason for the names? Any personalities thoughts to go with them?

EDIT: Also, we need at the very least a tie-breaking vote. If there is no more input by this evening (PST) then I'll just move forward. :smallsmile:

[Illven]

In Golden sun the lost age, Jenna is a fire adept (spellcaster with fire magic) I like golden sun. Cyndaquil is a fire pokemon

[MammonAzrael]

Ahh, got it. Though given what Typhlosion looks like in his various sprites, Saturos or Menardi might be more appropriate. :smalltongue:

[Illven]

Yeah, but you're a hero!

[MammonAzrael]

Yeah, but you're a hero!

Only because the world won't let me blow it up! :smallbiggrin:

[Illven]

Only because the world won't let me blow it up! :smallbiggrin:

Well as long as you survive, you'll gain god-like power.

[Pefkalos]

Mr Snaps the totodile, gets my vote.

Boom

[Raistlin1040]

I vote for Mr. Snaps. I have a fondness for Totodiles and Nuzlockes, given my history.

[MammonAzrael]

And Mr. Snaps reels it in as the victor!

EDIT: Ok, with the starter selected, I'm working on Chapter 1 now. I'm transcribing speech and such, so hopefully cutting down on the number of screenshots. That said, I think it's longer than the prologue, as most chapters probably will be, so it may still have a lot. At least their small!

[MammonAzrael]

Chapter 1: Escape from New Bark Town

Mammon: You know, I liked this first little guy, right up until flames shot from his back and that is apparently normal! And I have no idea what this green thing is supposed to be. I mean, is that a lead growing out of it’s head? No, you know what? I’m going to take the most normal thing here…I mean, crocodiles can be blue, right? And stand on two legs…you know what, I’m just not going to think about these things any more. Or about how the hell they fit into these balls. Too many other questions take priority.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter11.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter12.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter13.png

Mammon: Sure, great pokemon. Normal is great. And I’ve missed having a pet. I think I’ll name it Mr. Snaps. Okay Professor, I guess I should be going now that you’ve given me a pet. And you wanted me to check on this Pokemon guy, right?
Prof. Elm:: Mr. Pokemon lives a little bit beyond Cherrygrove, the next city over. It’s almost a direct route there, so you can’t miss it. But just in case, here’s my phone number. Call me if anything comes up!
Mammon: That’s great Professor. I’ll be sure to call if I need any other confusing situations to remain unresolved.
Prof. Elm:: if your pokemon is hurt, you should heal it with this machine. Feel free to use it anytime. Mammon, I’m counting on you!
Mammon: Umm…thanks. I’ll try to keep my new pet from being beaten or whatever the hell you people do to these things. See ya…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter14.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter15.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter16.png

Mammon: Geeze, medical supplies? What do you people expect to happen! That machine in the back isn’t enough? You know what, thanks. I appreciate it. I’ll be sure to use them. Excuse me.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter17.png

Mammon: Oh, its night time, right. There is no way I’m going out there in the dark. Those people may be crazy, but everything else seems to be too. I don’t want to be attacked by some flaming mouse wandering around in the dark. Maybe I can sleep back at “my” house.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter18.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter19.png



The Next Morning


Mammon: *Yaaawn* Oh man…I was hoping I’d wake up and everything would be back to normal. There’d be… I’m not really sure what. Well, there’d be my memories, for one, I guess. Looks like I’m stuck in this weird place. At least no one seems overtly hostile. Well, time to see if I can figure out what is going on.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter110.png

Mammon: Ahh, beautiful morning at least! Good bye New Bark Town! May I never return!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter111.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter112.png

Mammon: Hmm, and there is a kid in some seriously overgrown grass. That must be the stuff everyone has been talking about.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter113.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter114.png

Mammon: So they ambush you, huh? That’s frightening. I guess I’ll just stay out of the grass then.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter115.png

Mammon: Apparently I don’t have that luxury. Well…how likely is it, really, to be attacked by wild animals?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter116.png

Mammon: There we go, that wasn’t bad at all. I don’t know why these people are so crazy. Rabid animals aren’t that common. I don’t know why I listened to them.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter117.png

Mammon: Holy crap, what the hell is that?! Well they gave me this pet for defense, so:

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter118.png

Mr. Snaps: Hey there boss. What’ve we got here?
Mammon: You can talk?
Mr. Snaps: Of course I can genius. What took you so long to let me out?
Mammon: I…I…
Mr. Snaps: Hold on, let me take can of this guy.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter119.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter120.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter121.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter122.png

Mr. Snaps: Oh yeah! That sentret didn’t know who he was messin’ with.
Mammon: You just killed that thing!
Mr. Snaps: Well…yeah. You didn’t want it to kill you, did you?
Mammon: And you can talk!
Mr. Snaps: Umm, yes. I think we covered this already. Are you sure that we shouldn’t be surprised that you can talk?
Mammon: But…but…
Mr. Snaps: Looks, how about we get outta the grass first, eh? Have your freak out in a few minutes.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter123.png

Mr. Snaps: So boss, you need to sit down, or are you finished hyperventilating?
Mammon: I…Ok, fine, you can talk. I’m probably in a coma or something so sure, the killer animals can talk.
Mr. Snaps: Why wouldn’t we talk?
Mammon: I…you know what, I have no idea. I’m just not going to think about it or anything else anymore.
Mr. Snaps: Probably a good idea boss. Seems like your brain can’t quite handle everything.
Mammon: …
Mr. Snaps: So then, where’re we off too?
Mammon: Well back when I was sane, I had no idea. But now that I’ve clearly lost it, we might as well go and check out the Mr. Pokemon guy.
Mr. Snaps: Whatever you need boss. Just watch out for more of those sentrets, and I’ll take care of ‘em for you.
Mammon: Yeah, that sounds just great.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter124.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter125.png

Mammon: So…Cherrygrove. Nice looking place. You think that Mr. Pokemon lives here?
Mr. Snaps: I don’t even know who the guy is.
Mammon: Silly me. I guess we’ll ask around then.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter126.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter127.png

Old Man: That’s OK! Everyone is a rookie at some point! If you’d like, I can teach you a few things.
Mammon: Sure, that’d be great.
Old Man: OK, then! Follow Me!

Old Man: You’ll be relying on them a lot, so you better learn about them.
Mammon: That may be the most ominous thing anyone has ever said to me.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter130.png

Old Man: They sell balls for catching wild pokemon and other useful items.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter131.png

Old Man: Trainers will be battling their prized pokemon there.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter132.png

Old Man: It’s my house! Thanks for your company. Let me give you a small gift.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter133.png

Mammon: Oh, thanks. Good to have a map, since I have no idea where I’m going.
Old Man: PokeGear becomes more useful as you add cards. I wish you luck on your journey!
Mammon: Thanks again. Hmm…I should take down his address, I may want to talk with him again. And maybe get him something for the map.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter134.png

Mammon: …that’s his address? Guide Gent’s house? Wow, my fractured psyche must really want to make sure I didn’t miss that. Well, I still have to find this Mr. Pokemon. Time to keep asking around.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter135.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter136.png

Mammon: Oh, okay. I guess that’s vague enough. I guess I just head up the road then.

Mammon: Hmm…towards Violet City, eh? So maybe he lives there?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter139.png

Mammon: Or maybe he’s just outside town. That’d be nice.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter140.png

Mammon: Excuse me, are you Mr. Pokemon?
Berry Guy: Well, my pokemon got healthier by eating a berry. Here, I’ll share one with you! Check trees for berries. They just drop right off.
Mammon: I didn’t…I…*sigh* Thank you sir.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter141.png

Mr. Snaps: I don’t think that was him.

Mammon: At least we got some berries out of it. You want one?
Mr. Snaps: Yum! Thanks boss!
Mammon: Great. Lets keep going.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter145.png

Mammon: Good luck.

Mr. Snaps: Piece of cake!
Mammon: Are you alright? It looked like that thing slammed into you pretty hard.
Mr. Snaps: I’m ok boss, thanks. Lets get out of here.

Mammon: Excellent. At least we know we’re on the right track.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter148.png

Mammon: Uh-oh, there’s another weird looking creature. Go, Mr. Snaps! Scratch it!

Mr. Snaps: Alright! I’m getting better at this!
Mammon: Good job Mr. Snaps.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter153.png

Mammon: Hey, that must be Mr. Pokemon’s house up ahead!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter154.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter155.png

Mammon: Yeah, that’s me.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter156.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter157.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter158.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter159.png

Mr. Pokemon: I know a couple who runs a pokemon day-care service. They gave me that egg. I was intrigued, so I sent mail to Professor Elm.
Mammon: Okay…why?
Mr. Pokemon: For pokemon evolution, Professor Elm is the authority. Even Professor Oak here recognizes that. If my assumption is correct, Professor Elm will know it.
Mammon: Okay, that is the most logical thing I’ve heard since last night. And professor Oak? Why does that name sound familiar?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter160.png

Prof. Oak:: I’m Oak! A pokemon researcher. I was just visiting my old friend Mr. Pokemon. I heard you were running an errand for Professor Elm, so I waited here.
Mammon: More than one, actually.
Mr. Snaps: Hey! Who’re you calling an errand?
Prof. Oak:: Oh! What’s this? A rare pokemon! Let’s see…hm, I see! I understand why Professor Elm gave you a pokemon for this errand.
Mr. Snaps: Yeah, pretty easy to pick up on, huh? He isn’t all that fast on his feet.
Prof. Oak:: To researchers like Professor Elm and I, pokemon are our friends. He saw that you would treat your pokemon with love and care.
Mammon: Of course. I’m not about to abuse my pet…err…well, whatever Mr. Snaps is.
Mr. Snaps: I’m your pokemon boss. We went over this already.
Prof. Oak:: …Ah! You seem to be dependable. How would you like to help me out?
Mammon: No matter what I say, I’m guessing that it’s the only option. So sure, why not?
Prof Oak: See? This is the latest version of PokeDex. It automatically records data on pokemon you’ve seen or caught. It’s a hi-tech encyclopedia!
Mammon: Ok, I gotta admit, that’s pretty nifty. Being able to know what is trying to kill me every 5 minutes should hopefully mean we’ll better defend against them.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter161.png

Prof. Oak:: Go meet many kinds of pokemon and complete that PokeDex!
Mammon: Hold on, complete it? You mean it doesn’t have the info already? You’re using me to gather the info on all these crazy animal-poke-things. So, what? Everyone else can be safe?! Could you explain that to me?
Prof. Oak:: But I’ve stayed too long. I have to get to Goldenrod for my usual radio show. Mammon, I’m counting on you!
Mammon: …
Mr. Pokemon: You are returning to Professor Elm? Here. Your pokemon should have some rest. I’m depending on you!
Mammon: Yeaaah…apparently a lot of you are.
Mr. Snaps: Well, not everyone you meet is gonna be as great a judge of character as you boss.
Mammon: Than…Right, we’re leaving. Thanks for the coffee, Mr. Pokemon.

Prof. Elm:: H-hello? Mammon? It’s a disaster!
Mammon: Professor Elm? What’s a disaster?
Prof. Elm:: Um…um…it’s just terrible! What should I do? It…oh, no…
Mammon: Slow down Professor. What happened?
Prof. Elm:: Please get back here now!
Mammon: Professor? Hello?
Phone: …
Mammon: Great. Well, at least we were headed back anyways. Come on Mr. Snaps, lets go see what’s driven Elm crazy. Nice to be on the other end for a change.



At the edge of Cherrygrove

???: What a waste. A wimp like you. …don’t you get what I’m saying?
Mammon: Um…no?
???: Well, I too, have a good pokemon. I’ll show you what I mean!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter166.png

Mammon: What the hell are you doing?!
Mr. Snaps: Come on boss, send me in!
Mammon: What are you talking about?
Mr. Snaps: He’s obviously challenging you to a pokemon battle! Trainer against trainer, pokemon against pokemon! I’m the brawn, and you’re the brains! Though that last part I’m starting to question.
Mammon: What? Isn’t that illegal? Where’re the police?!
Mr. Snaps: No time to explain it now boss, just send me in!
Mammon: Fine, go!

Mammon: Whoa, you nailed him! You’ve got him on the ropes Mr. Snaps!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter174.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter175.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter176.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter177.png

Mr. Snaps: Grrr! I knew I could take you down! Come on, I’ll tear you apart right now for trying to attack boss!
Mammon: Woah! You did good Mr. Snaps, but hold it, I don’t want to hurt the guy! Stifle that rage!
Mr. Snaps: …sorry boss. I guess I just tapped into it.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter178.png

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter179.png

???: …my name’s Azrael. I’m going to be the world’s greatest pokemon trainer.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter180.png

Mammon: …What the hell was that about? Mr. Snaps, are you ok?
Mr. Snaps: No, I lost and I’m doing terribly.
Mammon: Uhuh…you want to explain to me what that was?
Mr. Snaps: It was a pokemon battle. I mean…a pokemon battle. Seriously, how do you not know what that is?
Mammon: I don’t know. But I suspect that I’ll find someone that’ll cover all the basics for me soon enough. Anyways, lets keep going, Elm is still probably freaking out.



Back at Professor Elm’s Lab


http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter181.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter182.png

Officer:[/Color] I was just getting some information from professor Elm. Apparently, is was a young male with long, red hair…
Mammon: That sounds just like the guy that attacked me outside Cherrygrove!
Officer: What?
Mammon: And he somehow knew that I got Mr. Snaps from Professor Elm!
Officer: You battled a trainer like that? Did you happen to get his name.
Mammon: I was a little pre-occupied with the fact that he assaulted me, officer. But I think he mentioned his name was Azrael.
Officer: OK! So Azrael was his name. Thanks for helping my investigation!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter183.png

Mammon: …So the whole assault thing doesn’t matter. Great.
Prof. Elm:: Mammon, this is terrible…
Mammon: Yeah, I agree. I’m attacked by some guy while on the way back from doing your errands for you.
Prof. Elm:: Oh, yes, what was Mr. Pokemon’s big discovery?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter184.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter185.png

Prof. Elm:: This? But…is it a pokemon egg?
Mammon: That’s what he claimed. Got it from some day-care owners he knows.
Prof. Elm:: If it is, it is a great discovery!
Mammon: Ooh, another great discovery. Well at least it was a safe one. I’m guessing the stuff Oak wants me to discover for his PokeDex will be notably less safe.
Prof. Elm:: What?!? Professor Oak gave you a PokeDex? Mammon, is that true?
Mammon: Why would I make that up? How would I even know what the hell a PokeDex is if it weren’t true?
Prof. Elm:: Th-that’s incredible! He is superb at seeing the potential of people as trainers. Wow, Mammon. You may have what it takes to become the Champion.
Mammon: So his few minutes with me made him feel confident in my abilities as a champion ****-fighting trainer? Should I be insulted?
Prof. Elm:: You seem to be getting on great with pokemon too.
Mammon: Sure, when he isn’t being a smart ass.
Mr. Snaps: Hey boss, give yourself more credit! I’m sure you’re smarter than the brain in my rump!
Prof. Elm:: You should take the Pokemon Gym Challenge.
Mammon: The what now? Is that like a certified fighting league or something?
Prof. Elm:: The closest Gym would be the one in Violet City.
Mammon: That isn’t too far away. Mr. Snaps and I were nearly there when finding Mr. Pokemon.
Prof. Elm:: …Mammon, the road to the championship will be a long one. Before you leave, make sure that you talk to your mom.
Mammon: My mom?! She’s here?! Oh…wait, you’re talking about that lady in “my” house, aren’t you? Right, I’ll check in with her. Might as well start this road or whatever tomorrow morning.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter186.png

Assistant: Use these on your PokeDex quest!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter187.png

Assistant: To add to your PokeDex, you have to catch pokemon. Throw Poke Balls at wild pokemon to get them.
Mammon: Okay, thanks. I’ll be sure to do that. Because I’m an expert at handling rabid animals that talk.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter188.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter189.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter190.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%201/Chapter191.png

Mom: Where did you get it?
Mammon: Professor Elm gave it to me so I could run some errands for him. And now he and professor Oak apparently think I need to go enter some Pokemon Gym Challenge.
Mom: …So, you’re leaving on and adventure…
Mammon: Well…I guess so. I have no idea what else I’d do.
Mom: Ok! I’ll help too. But what can I do for you? I know! I’ll save money for you. On a long journey, money’s important.
Mammon: Umm…isn’t that what banks are for?
Mom: Do you want me to save your money?
Mammon: Well you seem awfully excited to be helping me so…sure, why not.
Mom: OK, I’ll take care of your money.
Mammon: Thanks.
Mom: …be careful. Pokemon are your friends. You need to work as a team. Now, go on!

[MammonAzrael]

Ok everyone, so I've posted Chapter 1, and I've updated the Prologue by transcribing quite a bit of it.

I'd like to start work on Chapter 2, but I'd love to hear some feedback from the changes so far first. And receive some more pokepersonalities suggestions! :smallbiggrin:

[Eledragon]

You've got some of my suggestions last page. This is much better with less piccies. :smallsmile:

[MammonAzrael]

Indeed I did, and one has already been used. Grawk is a proud (kinda) member of the team. I'm working on Chapter 2, but have come across my second capture, a caterpie! Come on people, any suggestions for this bug? :smallbiggrin:

[Eledragon]

Vakk-wants to take over the world, one cocoon at a time. wants this because he was discarded by a trainer and wants revenge.

[Illven]

If it's female Lulu, if it's male, Mothra, Either way it should hate Mr.Snaps.

[MammonAzrael]

Ooh, fun ideas. I'm rollin' with it.

On another note, what level should I aim for before tackling the Violet City Gym? The more input the better!

[Illven]

Ooh, fun ideas. I'm rollin' with it.

On another note, what level should I aim for before tackling the Violet City Gym? The more input the better!

Lv 11 Since Mr.Snaps isn't weak to mud-slap.

[MammonAzrael]

That's a good, solid level.

You know what I've found to be highly annoying? The Night/Day time changing. It isn't synced up to RL, but even if it were, it's quite aggravating to not be able to play at times because it's not the right time of day for more screenshots. :smallannoyed:

Chapter 2: Revenge of the Birds


The Next Morning


http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter21.png

Mammon: Well Mr. Snaps, are you ready to go on this adventure?
Mr. Snaps: Of course! You’ve been the one with issues about it! Lets go take on some Gyms!
Mammon: Oh, right. The Gym Challenge. I guess I don’t really have anything else to do, and it seems like that is where everything is pointing towards. Sure, lets go investigate this Gym thing.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter22.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter23.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter24.png

Mammon: I haven’t really caught any. Professor Elm is the one who gave me Mr. Snaps.
Dude: Would you like me to show you how to catch pokemon?
Mammon: Sure, since you’re offering. You aren’t by any chance related to the Guide Gent from Cherrygrove, are you?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter25.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter26.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter27.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter28.png

Dude: That’s how you do it. If you weaken them first, pokemon are easier to catch.
Mammon: That’s great, thanks. You hear that Mr. Snaps? If you maul some wild animals a bit they’ll be easier to capture.
Mr. Snaps: Well of course boss, why else would I not kill something attacking you?
Mammon: I don’t think I want an answer to that. Let’s just get going.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter29.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter210.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter211.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter212.png PIC

Mammon: Alright! I caught a bird!
Mr. Snaps: Good job boss! You’re a natural.
Mammon: I shouldn’t be this excited about catching a pigeon. Is it even ok?
Mr. Snaps: Hey! You wanted to catch it, so I made sure I didn’t crunch it!
???: *cough cough squawk* …uuugh…*squawk*…that’s another scar to add to the collection. Don’t know how I haven’t lost that leg by now.
Mammon: Umm…hi. Are you ok?
???: Yeah, I’m fine. Your damn totodile just got in a lucky shot on my bad knee. So you’re a trainer, eh? Finally captured.
Mammon: Looks that way. I’m Mammon, and this is Mr. Snaps.
???: Mr. Snaps? That’s the kind of name a little girl names her stuffed animal. Are you telling me I just got captured by a little girl rookie? Grawk, who has fought in dozens of wars with the fierce spearow to the north, have been captured by a rookie.
Mr. Snaps: You think that’s bad? Boss took forever to even let me out. I worry about him sometimes.
Grawk: Terrific. Look rookie, I’ll help you get some experience…lets just avoid going north for now. I don’t need everyone to know I was just captured by a greenhorn.
Mammon: Sure, whatever you say. I’m headed up past Cherrygrove anyways.
Grawk: Fine. I’ll show you some basics and we can get going.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter213.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter214.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter215.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter216.png

Grawk: And that is how you take down a sentret. But that he was a tough one…I think your next lesson needs to involve medication.
Mammon: Hey, I think I’ve got that covered at least. This old guy told me about Pokemon Centers. I’ll take you there, maybe they can fix you up.
Mr. Snaps: That’s a great idea boss. I’d just like to point out that I didn’t need any medical attention after dealing with that sentret earlier.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter217.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter218.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter219.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter220.png PIC 17 | 18 | 19 | 20

Mammon: Good morning Nurse…Joy. I’ve got a hurt pokemon here, and I was told that I should see you.
Nurse Joy: We can heal your pokemon to perfect health. Shall we heal your pokemon?
Mammon: Yes, please. That’d be terrific.
Nurse Joy: OK, may I see your pokemon?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter221.png

Mammon: Oh hey. What is this going to cost? …Ma’am?
Nurse Joy: Thank you for waiting. Your pokemon are fully healed. We hope to see you again.
Mammon: That’s it? It’s free? And you still want me to come back?
Mr. Snaps: Boss, just let it go. This is another one of those things that probably going to hurt your head.
Mammon: You’re probably right. Lets get out of here.

Grawk: Really? He didn’t even know what a Pokemon Center is?
Mr. Snaps: I know, right? I think the key is just to gloss over things, he’s got some really weird ideas sometimes. Can you believe he was surprised that I could talk?
Grawk: Wow. Looks like we’ve gotten stuck with sheltered lunatic.
Mr. Snaps: Hey, don’t knock on the boss like that! Only I’m allowed to call him crazy!
Mammon: Cut it out you two. If it’ll make you feel better, we’ll go back out into the fields and kill some more wild animals.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter222.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter223.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter224.png

Grawk: Ah, I don’t think I can take another hit, kid. Send in some reinforcements!
Mammon: Right!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter225.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter226.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter227.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter228.png

Mammon: Wow, that was a close one. Good teamwork guys. Grawk, are you ok?
Grawk: I could use a berry, but I’ll be fine. Let’s get back to training. With a little more experience under your belt this shouldn’t happen as often. We’ll all get stronger. It’s the soundest strategy.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter229.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter230.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter231.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter232.png

Grawk: And that’s how you do that! You’re starting to pick up on this kid.
Mammon: Wow, that was great. Let’s keep training!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter233.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter234.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter235.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter236.png

Grawk: For a kid you’re picking up the basics pretty quickly. Seems like a good time to teach you about some strategy. You don’t always have to attack full out. Sometimes it’s better to make sure you aren’t going to get hit first.
Mammon: Well yeah, that makes sense. Avoiding death is a pretty good idea.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter237.png

Mr. Snaps: I think we’ve covered enough for now, don’t you?
Grawk: Yeah, I think we’re good to head out. So where’re we going kid?
Mammon: For now we’re headed up past Cherrygrove.
Mr. Snaps: Right behind you boss!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter238.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter239.png

Mammon: Hey, what’re those kids doing up ahead? Excuse me!

Mammon: What do you guys think? You up for some battles against other trainers? I don’t want to risk you guys getting hurt.
Grawk: Oh these battles are nothing! Trainers ‘round these parts are a joke!
Mr. Snaps: Yeah boss, we can take ‘em! Besides, you’ll need the cash.
Mammon: Cash?
Mr. Snaps: Well yeah. What, you didn’t even know that the loser has to fork over dough to the winner?
Mammon: So if you lose you have to pay as well as have your pets killed? Damn this world is harsh. I’m starting to think I was beaten to a pulp by a ring of underground dog-fighters.
Grawk: What?
Mr. Snaps: Oh don’t worry, he does that sometimes. He may not be all there, but that isn’t taking away from his talent as a trainer.
Grawk: He better get his head in the game then, I don’t plan on dying because of inept commands.

Joey: Wait! You look weak! Come on, let’s battle!
Mammon: Weak? And you’re excited by that? That’s messed up kid.

Mammon: Grawk is pretty beat up. Get in there Mr. Snaps!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter249.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter250.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter251.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter252.png

Joey: Ack! I lost again! Doggone it!
Mammon: Alright Mr. Snaps, way to go!
Mr. Snaps: Of course, boss. And I’m getting stronger every day!
Mammon: Oh, and wasn’t there something about winnings?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter253.png

Mammon: Sweet. Guess I wasn’t so weak!
Joey: Do I have to have more pokemon in order to battle better?
Mammon: Maybe not better, but it’ll certainly help your chances. And that’s if your rattata lives, you know…
Joey: No! I’m sticking with this one no matter what!
Mammon: Whatever you want, but I’d hurry and get to a hospital.
Joey: Listen, can I get your phone number? I’ll ting you for some battles. I’m a rookie too, so I think it’d be a good motivator.
Mammon: Sure, why not. Maybe if I get enough numbers I’ll be able to glue my mind back together.
Joey: I’ll ring you whenever I get the urge to battle!

Youngster Mikey: Then you have to battle!
Mammon: Have to? Whatever. I just took that kid’s money, I’ll take yours too. Guys, try not to kill his pokemon, ok?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter256.png

Mammon: Oh no, I forgot! Grawk you’re in no shape to fight, get back here!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter257.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter258.png

Mammon: Hey, that was a cheap shot!
Mr. Snaps: I’m ok boss. But once the battles start, they can attack even when we just come out!
Grawk: But so can we kid.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter259.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter260.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter261.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter262.png

Mammon: Woah, you hit really hard there Mr. Snaps!
Grawk: It’s his Rage. It means he only grows stronger the more he’s hit!
Mammon: That’s awesome, he’s like the Hulk!
Grawk: The what?
Mammon: Nevermind. Go Mr. Snaps!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter263.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter264.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter265.png

Youngster Mikey: That’s strange. I won before.
Mammon: And Mr. Snaps took you down without a scratch! Looks like I’m not as weak as any of you seemed to think. But now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got the heal my friend and be on my way.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter266.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter267.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter268.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter269.png

Mammon: Good job Grawk! We caught a bug. Geeze, these things are really underwhelming. Though I’m glad I can just step on them…at least there aren’t any tigers, or those fire mice things.
???: *hssss* I’ll get even, you stupid bird. I won’t be beholden to this ball forever!
Mammon: Was that the caterpillar?
Mr. Snaps: It’s called a caterpie, boss.
???: That’s right trainer. What kind of trainer are you, to not know that.
Mr. Snaps: Hey now, take it easy! He’s a little green, sure, but he’s comin’ along.
???: Ugh…how servile…it’s an embarrassment to pokemon everywhere. Well trainer, it looks like you got me. Lets see how long it is before you dump me somewhere.
Mammon: What? Why would you say that?
???: You trainers are all alike, I know your kind. Mark me, Vakk will never forget! And I’ll never forgive you, any of you! Or the poor dupes that serve you!
Mammon: Wow, dude, you’ve got more issues than I do. And I’m so crazy I’m talking to a caterpillar.
Vakk: And I’m talking to a trainer that doesn’t even know what a caterpie is.
Mr. Snaps: I told you-
Vakk: And his annoying lapdog of a totodile. When I grow stronger I’m getting rid of every last trainer and his lackies…starting with you two.
Mr. Snaps: Not a chance bug. I’ll kill you right now!
Mammon: Mr. Snaps, wait!
Mr. Snaps: What?
Mammon: Look…Vakk, was it? I don’t know what your problem is and frankly, I’m not sure I care. I’m pretty sure this is all in my head, so you’re either my subconscious desire to kill all tailgaters on the freeway, or you’re a hint on how to escape. Either way, welcome to the team.
Vakk: …your deranged babblings won’t stop me, I don’t care how crazy you are.
Mammon: Glad we’re on the same page. Shall we?

Mammon: Great job Grawk, lets get moving.
Grawk: Getting better kid. You’re hatching faster than the last eggs I laid.
Mammon: …oh…you’re a female. Sorry, I don’t really have much experience telling birds apart.
Grawk: Of course I’m female! What, did you think the males are the ones always defending the nest?
Mammon: No, no, of course not. How silly of me.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter274.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter275.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter276.png

Mammon: Yes, you did. Bring it kid, I’m getting used to these things.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter277.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter278.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter279.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter280.png

Bug Catcher Don: Argh! You’re too strong!
Mammon: Don’t tell me that kid. Get your bugs to the Pokemon Center.

Mammon: Alright Vakk, if you want to go around destroying everything, you’re going to need to buff up a bit. Practice destruction, as it were.
Vakk: Bah, I need no practice, I shall crush everything!
Mammon: Really? Okay then, go crush that bird. It’s even weaker than Grawk.
Vakk: *Hssssss*

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter281.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter282.png

Vakk: Ahh!
Mammon: Too strong for you huh? Okay Grawk, go finish it!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter283.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter284.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter285.png

Grawk: No sweat. In fact, I think I had a brush in with him 3 months ago in the northwest offensive.
Vakk: *Hsss* I could have done that!
Mammon: No offense Vakk, but I rather doubt it. He would have munched on you like a natural predator…which he probably is. But we’ll keep practicing, and you’ll get better. Hmm…Maybe we can find a better opponent for you to warm up on.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter286.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter287.png

Kid: If pokemon could light it up, I’d explore it.
Mammon: And why couldn’t you just use a flashlight? No, don’t tell me, it doesn’t matter. I don’t think that’s what we’re looking for right now anyways. Unless you can light up?
Vakk: Do I look like a Pikachu, trainer?
Mammon: I have no idea, but I’ll take that as a no.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter288.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter289.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter290.png

Mammon: Alright, another trainer. What do you say Vakk, ready to stomp on him?
Vakk: A Bug Cathcer? I’ll kill him! They’re all the same, worthless and untrustworthy!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter291.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter292.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter293.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter294.png

Vakk: Don’t get in my way! I’m going to wrap that bug catcher up in silk and feed off him!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter295.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter296.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter297.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter298.png

Mammon: Vakk, get back here! You can’t take any more punishment! You’ve done well.
Vakk: *Hsss*
Mammon: Finish things off, Mr. Snaps!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter299.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2100.png

Vakk: You’re letting that sad excuse mop up instead of me?! Grr, I’ll get you for that!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2101.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2102.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2103.png

Mr. Snaps: Just try to hurt boss, Vakk, and I’ll finish was Grawk started!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2104.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2105.png

Bug Catcher Wade: Awwww…
Mammon: That’s how disappointed you are that I slaughtered your bugs? I mean, you challenged me, risked their lives, and the best you can muster is an “Aww?” Geeze Vakk, no wonder you have a problem with these guys.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2106.png

Joey: This is Joey. Got a minute?
Mammon: Yeah, what’s up?
Joey: Let’s get together and battle! I promise things will be different!
Mammon: Glad to hear you got the a Center in time.
Joey: Route 30’s where I’ll be. Give me a shout when you come.
Mammon: I’ll do that.
Joey: All right. Later!
Mammon: Hmm…you think he’s gotten any new pokemon?
Mr. Snaps: I doubt it boss. He seemed pretty devoted to that rattata of his.
Mammon: True. I guess we’ll see. Lets keep moving. I think I see Violet City up ahead.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2107.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2108.png

Mammon: Oh really? You had a way to light it up then?
Kid: I’m going to raise it to take on Falkner.
Mammon: Who’s that?
Kid: He’s the leader of Violet City Gym.
Mammon: Oh. Hmm, maybe I should check out this Dark Cave then if it’s got good pokemon that I could use in the Gym Challenge.
Grawk: What?! You’re going to challenge Falkner? I’ve had a few scrapes with the guy, he’s a huge bird fanatic. He’s captured a lot of my flock over the years, and there is no way I’m going to face his smug ass without training to make sure we’ll have victory.
Mammon: A bird fanatic, huh?
Grawk: Extremely. I’ve got over a half-dozen scars from defending the nest against him and his lackeys!
Mammon: Well then lets hurry and shut them down.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2109.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2110.png

Mammon: Woah, what is that? Why is that rock trying to attack us?
Mr. Snaps: It’s a geodude boss.
Mammon: A geo…it’s a pokemon? Rocks can be pokemon? They must be giving my drugs for my coma right now. Alright Mr. Snaps, lets get it!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2111.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2112.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2113.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2114.png

Mammon: Good job Mr. Snaps! Now lets get out of this cave and meet our new friend.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2115.png

Mammon: Hello there. I’m Mammon.
Gem: Hi. I’m called Gem.
Mammon: Hi there Gem. So you’re made of rocks. Which neurosis of mine do you represent?
Gem: What? Of course I’m a rock type, I’m a geodude!
Mammon: Rock type?
Mr. Snaps: We’ll cover that later boss.
Mammon: Right. So…you don’t seem that crazy.
Gem: …thanks?
Mammon: Look, we’re headed to Violet City to challenge the Gym there. But we’re training first. So jumping right in, I’d like to see what you can do. We’re going to go see this kid Joey I know.
Gem: I think I can handle that.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2116.png

Joey: I’ve been waiting! Let’s battle!
Mammon: Alright. I’ve got a new addition for you to meet.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2117.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2118.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2119.png

Mammon: Come on Gem, you can do better than that! Can’t you?
Gem: Of course I can, I was just distracted. And it’s not like this rattata can hurt me much!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2120.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2121.png

Mammon: What just happen? That barely hurt you!
Gem: Of course! I’m a rock type! Normal attacks aren’t very effective against me!
Mammon: Oh, excellent. Well go on then, finish this!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2122.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2123.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2124.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2125.png

Mammon: Good job Gem!
Joey: Ack! I lost again! Doggone it!
Mammon: And that’s why I think you need to expand your roster Joey. Apparently you’re too vulnerable to rocks.
Gem: Rock types, thank you very much!
Mammon: Right, rock types. Well, gimmie a call if you feel up to doing this again. Okay gang, We’re going to get some training in, and then go see this Falkner and his Gym!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2126.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2127.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2128.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2129.png

Mammon: Great job Gem, you’re really working hard!
Gem: Thanks! And I think I’ve figured out a way to protect myself better in battle!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2130.png

Mammon: That’s great Gem. Take a break, you’ve worked hard. Okay Vakk, you ready to take another swing at all this?
Vakk: Of course I am! I’m ready whenever you are!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2131.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2132.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2133.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2134.png

Mammon: What the heck just happened?! Did Vakk just spin himself into a cocoon?
Vakk: I evolved. What did you think I was doing?
Mammon: I don’t know, I’ve never studied worms before!
Mr. Snaps: Uh…boss? Most of us evolve. Didn’t you learn about evolution in school?
Mammon: Well of course! But that takes millions of years!
Mr. Snaps: Now that’s just silly. How could we evolve if it took millions of years, none of us live that long.
Mammon: But…but…
Mr. Snaps: So we evolve when if feels right.
Mammon: …Right. And what good is a cocoon anyways?
Vakk: Hey, say that to my face!
Mammon: I have no idea where your face is. Can you even see?
Vakk: Of course I can! And I can still fight! Don’t think you can just leave me behind now and just walk away and be safe!
Mammon: Fine. Then lets see it.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2135.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2136.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2137.png

Vakk: Hah! See, I can still fight, and I’ll still take you out!
Mammon: Okay, you can still fight. And it’s apparently quite tough to hurt you now. But that’s it. You take forever. I’m done wasting time with this. You’re goin’ back in the ball, psycho.
Vakk: *Hsss*
Mammon: Grawk, you’re up. You said you wanted to warm up some more before seeing Falkner, so lets do it.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2138.png

Mammon: Now a plant is attacking us? I guess that makes at least a little more sense than a rock. Whatever…take care of it Grawk, and we’ll figure out the insanity afterwards.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2139.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2140.png

???: Haha! Your little ball cannot hold me!
Mammon: Yeah, we’ll see about that.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2141.png

Mammon: Gotchya!
Grawk: Good capture kid. Be on your toes, sometimes pokemon will try to escape or avoid capture. You handeled your self like a veteran trainer there.
Mammon: Thanks Grawk. So, let’s meet this plant.
???: Noo! I can’t believe you managed to catch me! I’ve been avoiding bloody-minded monks for years now!
Mammon: I’m not a monk.
???: You sure? They’ve been chasing me for longer than I can remember now.
Mammon: I’m pretty sure I’d remember chasing you.
???: Hmm…I’m not sure if I buy your act sir. There isn’t much I can do at the moment, but I’ve got my eye on you! Call me Scott for now.
Mammon: Ok, but for now we’re training so get ready to practice.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2142.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2143.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2144.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2145.png

Mammon: Alright Grawk, are you feeling up to this now?
Grawk: Yeah, I think I’m ready to face that bird-obsessed bastard. My wings are strong enough now I should be able to knock him over just by flapping my wings!
Mammon: Great, that’s what I like to hear. From the sound of things he’s going to be pretty strong. It wouldn’t be called a Challenge if everything was a push-over. Alright everyone, we’re headed in to Violet City to Start the Pokemon Gym Challenge!

Mammon: Wow…this place is big…and not at all what I was expecting. Sort of odd, really. Hmm…maybe we check in with this guy?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2149.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2150.png

Mammon: Hi there. Advice? Then I don’t sign up with you?
Adviser: Believe me! If you believe, a championship dream can come true.
Mammon: Um, ok. I guess that’s what I want.
Adviser: You believe? The listen, The grass-type is weak against the flying-type. Keep this in mind.
Mammon: Hmm…And Scott, you’re a grass-type, aren’t you?
Scott: That’s right.
Mammon: Then I think you’ll be sitting on the sidelines for this one. No need to take unnecessary risks…and Grawk already has a claim here.
Grawk: That’s right! We’re about to blast through a bunch of obsessive collectors and their two-faced lackeys! Stop wastin’ time flapping your jaw!
Mammon: Okay, let’s go!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2151.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2152.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2153.png

Mammon: What? We have to fight our way to Falkner? What is this, a gauntlet? Why didn’t any of you let me know about this?
Grawk: It doesn’t matter, all these punks need to be stopped!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2154.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2155.png

Bird Keeper Abe: This can’t be true!
Grawk: Oh but it is! You won’t be hunting my flock any more!
Bird Keeper Abe: This is pathetic, losing to some rookie trainer…
Mammon: Hey man, if you lost to me, that doesn’t speak to highly of your experience either. Let’s go Grawk.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2156.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2157.png

Bird Keeper Rod: Those here are training night and day to become bird pokemon masters.
Mammon: You’re right Grawk, these guys are totally obsessed with birds!
Bird Keeper Rod: Come on!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2158.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2159.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2160.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2161.png

Grawk: One down, one to go!
Mammon: Careful Grawk, you’re taking a lot of punishment out there! Let Gem take the next one!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2162.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2163.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2164.png

Gem: That’s not going to slow me down! Take this!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2165.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2166.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2167.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2168.png

Mammon: Way to go Gem, great teamwork!
Bird Keeper Rod: Gaaah!
Grawk: another piece of cake! You trappers will pay for your obsessions! Now for your boss!
Bird Keeper Rod: Falkner’s skills are for real! Don’t get cocky just because you beat me!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2169.png

Mammon: Just a moment Grawk. Lets get you all healed up before we challenge this Gym leader. I suspect he won’t be as easy as his followers.
Grawk: You’re right. No reason to enter battle with less than full strength.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2170.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2171.png

Falkner: People say you can clip a flying-type pokemon’s wings with a jolt of electricity…
Mammon: Really?
Grawk: Yeah, electric-types really do a number on us when they show up. They’d probably mop the floor with this fool.
Falkner: I won’t allow such insults to bird pokemon! I’ll show you the real power of the magnificent bird pokemon!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2172.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2173.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2174.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2175.png

Grawk: Now you’ll pay for all the brid pokemon you captured and killed in your relentless hunts!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2176.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2177.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2178.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2179.png

Grawk: You won’t stop me!

Grawk: Traitor! You should be out there protecting nest from trainers like him, not raiding with him!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2183.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2184.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2185.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2186.png

Mammon: You’re risking too much Grawk! Get back here before you fall! Let your teammates step in!
Grawk: Just…finish him…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2189.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2190.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2191.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2192.png

Gem: Ha! Those attacks won’t work on me! Don’t worry Grawk, I’ll bring this blowhard down!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2193.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2194.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2195.png

Gem: Ahh! But that hurt! And I’ve got mud in my eyes! What a low trick! Take this!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2196.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2197.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2198.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2199.png

Gem: And down you go, despite your tricks!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2200.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2201.png

Falkner: …Darn! My dad’s cherished bird pokemon…
Mammon: What?! They weren’t even yours?!
Grawk: I don’t care who’s they were, you’re not going out to harass my flocks any more!
Falkner: All right. Take this. It’s the official Pokemon League Zephyr Badge.
Gem: A Badge! Ooh, it’s so shiny! And what’s it made of, it looks like Silver inlaid in steel…classy! Do you mind if I hold on to it? Can I? Pleeease?
Mammon: Yeah, sure. So Falkner, what’s up with the badge?
Falkner: Zephyr Badge raises the attack power of pokemon. It also enables pokemon to use Flash if they have it, anytime.
Mammon: It increases their attack power? So what, it’s inspirational?
Falkner: Here – take this too.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2202.png

Falkner: By using a TM, a pokemon will instantly learn a new move. Think before you act – a TM can be used only once. TM 31 contains Mud-Slap.
Mammon: Oh, that dirty trick your bird used against Gem…
Falkner: It reduces the enemy’s accuracy while it causes damage. In other words, it is both defensive and offensive.
Mammon: Oh, I can see the uses for it…even though it does still feel underhanded. So…now that we’ve got this Zephyr Badge for the Pokemon League, what happens next?
Falkner: There are Pokemon Gyms in cities and towns ahead. You should test your skills at these Gyms.
Mammon: Ahh, so I need to collect more badges. At least your menace to the birds has been shut down. I know you love them, but you know you can do things a lot more peacefully.
Falkner: I’m going to train harder to become the greatest bird master!
Mammon: Do that, but watch it. I know Grawk’ll be keeping an eye on you!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2203.png

Mammon: Well guys, I think we handled ourselves pretty well in there. What do you say we take the rest of the day to rest and explore the town before moving on?
Mr. Snaps: Sounds like a great idea boss.
Gem: Yeah! And we can pick up some cleaner and polish for this badge.
Grawk: I’d like to stay a while to watch Falkner…I still don’t trust he knows he has lost the war.
Scott: Sounds like a good idea…but watch out for the monks in the north part of town!
Mammon: And I don’t think we need to hear another rant about destroying the world, so Vakk can just continue to relax for now.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%202/Chapter2204.png

Prof. Elm: Hello, Mammon? We discovered something about the egg! My assistant is at the Pokemon Center in Violet City. Could you talk to him?
Mammon: Yeah. Sorry fellas, looks like relaxing will have to be put on hold. Elm has yet another task for me. And I’m probably going to accept it, because I have no idea how else I’m going to figure this world out. He seems to be holding the keys for the moment.

Upcoming potential pokemon: Suggest names and personalities!

So this chapter certainly has a lot of pictures, but it’s also my largest chapter yet, by far. Too many pictures, or was it workable?

Should I teach Mud Slap to anyone?

[Raistlin1040]

You don't need to do every single move in a battle. For grinding for levels, I found it's best to just ignore the pictures unless you learn a new move or evolve since it's easier on you and takes up less space. In gym leader battles, it will actually help the narrative if you say what happens rather than just using a screenshot. You can flesh out the Gym Leaders that way and give them their own personalities in the battle, as well as their Pokemon.

[Eledragon]

the piccies were fine.

don't teach mud slap. WORTHLESS!!

[MammonAzrael]

I haven't been doing every move for each battle, I've been trimming them down quite a bit. Part of why all the trainer battles are documented in this chapter is because these are the first trainer battles, so they're new, and Mammon is learning new things with each one. In future chapters when trainer battles become far more common they will be covered more briefly.

Regarding the Gym battles...Are you talking about a play by play description of the attacks, instead of the entire battle posted in screen shot form? thus far, I have not added any extra words to any NPC - the only text I've written is for the protagonist and his pokemon. While I can see valid reasons for fleshing out Gym Leaders and their pokemon, I'm not sure if that is the direction I want to take this. As it stands I am leaving the games original script and characters untouched - just adding voices to the main characters.

[MammonAzrael]

Need Growlithe recommendations! :smallsmile:

[John Cribati]

I wonder if the little girl in pink could be Sage from beyond the grave.

[MammonAzrael]

The little girl in pink?

[John Cribati]

The little girl in pink?

Oh, My bad. Responded to the wrong LP.

[Illven]

Need Growlithe recommendations! :smallsmile:

What gender?

[MammonAzrael]

Oh, My bad. Responded to the wrong LP.

Ahh. Well that makes more sense then. But now to make up for it you need to post in this LP! :smalltongue:


What gender?

Male.

[Illven]

Ahh. Well that makes more sense then. But now to make up for it you need to post in this LP! :smalltongue:



Male.

Hades. Lord of the underworld, that he can use with Bite

[John Cribati]

A Male Growlithe, you say? He's Panzer, the trigger-happy lunatic.

[MammonAzrael]

Aaand Togepi hatched as I was working on Chapter 3. Can I get any nominations for this baby pokemon?

[Illven]

Aaand Togepi hatched as I was working on Chapter 3. Can I get any nominations for this baby pokemon?

What gender?

[Blue Ghost]

Aaand Togepi hatched as I was working on Chapter 3. Can I get any nominations for this baby pokemon?

Morning. An insufferably chipper, energetic ball of pure joy. Works for either gender.

[MammonAzrael]

Female, despite the odds!

[Illven]

Female, despite the odds!

Humpydumpy. For amusement,

Chapter 3: A Slowpoke Tail – Mammon Goes West
Part 1

Assistant: Professor Elm asked me to find you. He has another favor to ask.
Mammon: Yeah, I just got off the phone with him. He mentioned something about that egg I picked up from Mr. Pokemon.
Assistant: Would you take the pokemon egg?
Mammon: Sure, why not. One more thing to carry around.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter33.png

Assistant: We discovered that a pokemon will not hatch until it grows in the egg.
Mammon: Well…yeah. That’s how eggs work. What kind of discovery is that?
Assistant: It also has to be with other active pokemon to hatch.
Mammon: What? That makes no sense at all. Well, are you saying they have to sit on it or something? And doesn’t Elm have pokemon of his own?
Assistant: Mammon, you’re the only person we can rely on. Please call Professor Elm when that egg hatches!
Mammon: I still don’t get why you want me to hold onto it, but sure. I’ll carry your miraculous egg that has to let the pokemon inside develop before hatching.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter34.png

Mammon: And terrific, now it’s night time. Looks like we wasted the whole day on this, sorry guys. Maybe we can find a place to stay for the night.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter35.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter36.png

Mammon: Ghosts? Really?
Girl: They said normal-type pokemon moves had no effect on ghosts.
Mammon: Only normal moves? Well I suppose only normal moves would fail to touch hallucinations.
Scott: No, it’s true! They’re the poor ghosts collected by those terrible monks! The ones that haven’t been lucky or skilled enough to escape their mad sprees!
Mammon: You know what Scott? Vakk is enough crazy to deal with. We’re going to take care of this monk thing right now! We’re going to Sprout Tower.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter37.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter38.png

Mammon: Okay, there are monks here Scott, but that doesn’t mean that they’re after you and your fellow bellsprout.
Scott: You’re insane, dragging me in here! Not even my skills will help us escape!
Mammon: Yeah…we’re going to go talk to those monks now.
Monk #1: Sprout Tower was built long ago as a place for pokemon training.
Monk #2: Only if you reach the top will you obtain an HM.
Mammon: See Scott? They didn’t even notice you! I’ll admit that having this place dedicated to battling is kind of perverse…but they’re not crazy stalkers…like Falkner. And I’m not seeing any ghosts either.
Scott: I don’t know…
Mammon: We’re going upstairs. Maybe battling some of them will help you feel better about all this.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter39.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter310.png

Mammon: Ahhh! It’s a ghost!
Scott: See?! I told you the spirits of fallen warriors lingered up here!
Mammon: Fine, you’re right. Clearly dead pokemon can come back, makes perfect sense. No way I’m missing this opportunity.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter311.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter312.png

Mammon: …where’d it go? The PokeBall just disappeared!
Mr. Snaps: You can only have 6 pokemon with you boss. That’s part of the rules of the Gym Challenege. That ghost is probably being stored at the local PokeCenter.
Mammon: Damn, is there anything these balls can’t do? So I have to go back to the Pokemon Center to meet this ghost?
Mr. Snaps: Unless you know of another way to meet someone at the local PokeCenter.
Mammon: Well we can save that for tomorrow morning. Scott, we’re getting through this tower, and you’ll sleep better when we’re done. Look, we’ll go talk to that monk right over there.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter313.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter314.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter315.png

Mammon: Well, the people downstairs said this was a place to train. Bring it!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter316.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter317.png

Mammon: Geeze, three bellsprout?
Scott: See, I told you! They’re out to get us!
Mammon: Hey, just because one of them has bellsprouts doesn’t mean they’re all like that.
Scott: You’ll see. And I’m growing enough to ensure I won’t have to rely on your questionable loyalties.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter318.png

Mammon: Well like it or not, we’re continuing up this tower.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter319.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter320.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter321.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter322.png

Mammon: …two more monks with nothing but bellsprout. Ok, maybe that’s part of their monk-ly vows or something?
Scott: Yeah, monk-ly vows that demand wholesale capture of bellsprout.
Mammon: …

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter323.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter324.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter325.png

Mammon: Maybe you haven’t been completely wrong Scott…
Scott: Thank you! Can we get out of here now?
Mammon: No, I want to meet this head monk they’ve all been going on about. Maybe we can talk some sense into him or something. Or maybe it isn’t as bad as you think.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter326.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter327.png

Mammon: See?! They don’t all use bellsprout…exclusively.
Scott: So 15 bellsprout and 1 hoothoot later you’re thinking they aren’t after us?
Mammon: Lets just go talk to the Elder.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter328.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter329.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter330.png

Elder: As promised, here is your HM. But let me say this: you should treat your pokemon better. The way you battle is far too harsh. Pokemon are not tools of war…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter331.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter332.png

Azrael: He claims to be the Elder but he’s weak.
Mammon: Maybe he got the position for his age and devotion to their beliefs?
Azrael: It stands to reason. I’d never lose to fools who babble about being nice to pokemon.
Mammon: Well Scott, I’d say that’s a shot to your theory.
Scott: He’s just a front!
Mammon: Really? What do you say Azrael? If being nice to your pokemon is babble, what do you believe in?
Azrael: I only care about strong pokemon that can win. I really couldn’t care less about weak pokemon.
Mammon: Wow that’s harsh.I’m not sure what you represent, but it’s clear it isn’t something I want to deal with. I’ll crush you right now and prevent any more of your bloodshed!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter333.png

Mammon: Or you can leave. That works too.
Mr. Snaps: Way to bring the beatdown boss.
Mammon: Quiet you.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter334.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter335.png

Mammon: Mr. Elder, are you alright?
Elder: Sprout Tower is a place of training. People and pokemon test their bonds to build a bright future together.
Mammon: So…you’re ok then? That guy Azrael just beat you, he didn’t kill your pokemon?
Elder: I am the final test.
Mammon: Final test?
Elder: Allow me to check the ties between your pokemon and you!
Mammon: Are you seriously challenging me to a battle right after losing?
Scott: I knew it!
Mammon: Fine, lets do this. Are you sure your pokemon are up for it?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter336.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter337.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter338.png

Mammon: You’ve made your point! No need to kill those bellsprout! Mr. Snaps! Take out that hoothoot, we need to finish this now.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter339.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter340.png

Elder: Ah, excellent!
Mammon: Excellent? Your pokemon just got beaten twice in a row? What kind of bonds do you have with them?
Scott: Aside from capture and murder?!
Mammon: Quiet Scott. Elder, I think you need to examine yourself and this “test” of yours. Seems to me like you don’t have very strong bonds with your pokemon at all! I know I came here because I was trying to build a stronger bond with Scott, and he’s become stronger because of it.
Elder: You and your pokemon should have no problem using this move. Take this Flash HM.
Mammon: Umm, thanks, I guess.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter341.png

Mammon: So about what I just said…
Elder: Flash illuminates even the darkest of all places.
Mammon: Oh…you’re doing one of those monky things, talking and metaphor, aren’t you? Well thanks then, I hope you illuminate your own dark places.
Elder: But to use it out of battle, you need the Badge from Violet City’s Gym.
Mammon: No issue, already got that. Well Scott, you here that? They’re going to revise how they do things around here, and is sounds like they don’t want to hurt any more bellsprout.
Scott: I can’t believe you’re taken in by that. Just like Falkner, they’ll go back to their old ways.
Mammon: Well then maybe you should stay here so you can keep an eye of both of them and check in from time to time.
Scott: …maybe…
Mammon: Anyways, we’ve been here long enough. Time to get some rest.


The Next Morning

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter342.png

Mammon: Well guys, let’s go meet our newest partner. Scott, you can stay here and watch over those monks.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter343.png

Nappa: Hi. I’m Nappa.
Mammon: Hello Nappa.
Nappa: I’m a pokemon!
Mammon: …yes, Nappa. You are a pokemon.
Nappa: Are you a local?
Mammon: I don’t think so…did you used to be a bellsprout?
Nappa: A bellsprout? I’m Nappa, not a bellsprout.
Mammon: …I’m going to regret taking you with me, aren’t I? Well let’s head out to the west.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter344.png

Mammon: That is a freaky lookin’ growth of a tree. Well no getting though now…maybe a clean-up crew will clear the path soon. Lets take some time to look around and train.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter345.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter346.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter347.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter348.png

Mammon: Good job guys! A little more work and we’ll be ready to go!
Nappa: Where are we going Vegeta?
Mammon: Who?
Nappa: What’s the matter Vegeta?
Mammon: Why are you calling me that?
Nappa: Calling you what, Vegeta?
Mammon: …be quiet Nappa.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter349.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter350.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter351.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter352.png

Mammon: Awesome, a dog! It’s the first normal animal I’ve found here!
Grawk: *ahem*
Mammon: Oh, right. The birds have all been pretty normal. Still…I’ve got a dog!
Mr. Snaps: So what’re we, chopped liver?
Mammon: Umm…no. I just like dogs, ok? Man it’ll be nice to have a soft, furry dog along. I need the company of another mammal.
Mr. Snaps: What was that boss?
Mammon: Nothing! Come on, lets get back to training.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter353.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter354.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter355.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter356.png

Mammon: Ok, I think that should do it for now. Since the road west is blocked, we’re going to be headed south for the time being.
Mr. Snaps: Do you know what’s to the south?
Mammon: Not at all. But it’s the only open road.
Mr. Snaps: Well that’s a terrific reason to go then, isn’t it?
Mammon: I don’t have a better one. We’ll go pick up our new dog and be on our way.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter357.png

Mammon: Alright, Vakk can take some time out to cool his shell.
Vakk: *hsss* I’ll get my chance one day. Keeping me here with that plant won’t stop me!
Mammon: U-huh. You work on that.
???: Grrr…I almost had you back there!
Mr. Snaps: Just like you were almost asleep the whole time?
???: *snap* You’ve got some big teeth, but I bet my bite is stronger. Let’s find out!
Mammon: Woah, woah! Calm down there. Mr. Snaps, stop provoking your new partner.
???: So I’m stuck traveling with you, eh? You better not be some pansy that avoids fights!
Mammon: The longer I’m here, the less avoiding them seems possible.
???: Great! I’m Panzer, and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into some serious battles!
Mammon: I’m guessing that’ll be an easy desire to fill.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter358.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter359.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter360.png

Mammon: And another…something…added to the team. I mean, seriously, what was that even supposed to be?
Panzer: Disappointing is what it was, it didn’t put up a fight at all. Where are all those great battles you promised?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter361.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter362.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter363.png

Panzer: Now that’s more like it!
Mammon: Great training Panz…huh? Something’s moving around in my pack!
Panzer: Lemme at it!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter364.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter365.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter366.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter367.png

Mammon: Woah, it hatched! And it still looks a lot like an egg…
Grawk: Maybe I should have sat on it longer?
Dawn: Hi! I’m Dawn! Gosh, everything is just so beautiful this morning! It’s so nice to meet you all!
Mammon: …not only can you talk, but you have a name?
Dawn: Of course, silly! Why wouldn’t I have a name? Don’t you have one?
Mammon: I’m Mammon. I’d love to stay here and figure out how you could possibly be talking, but right now I’ve got to call Professor Elm.
Dawn: Oooh, a professor! Is he nice? I bet he’s nice too, just like you!
Mammon: I guess? And thanks?
Dawn: You’re welcome!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter368.png

Prof. Elm: Hello, Mammon?
Mammon: Hi Professor. I’ve got some news for you.
Prof. Elm: How is the egg?
Mammon: Well, it isn’t an egg anymore.
Prof. Elm: What? It hatched? Wow! What kind of pokemon is it?
Mammon: An Omelette…I kid, I kid. Yes it hatched, and it appears to be a togepi…and it can already talk and named itself.
Prof. Elm: Please come show me now!
Mammon: Sure, I can drop everything and go to you.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter369.png

Mammon: Someday I’ll meet someone here who understands sarcasm.
Mr. Snaps: I thought you thought we were all manifestations of your broken mind…so if he doesn’t get sarcasm…
Mammon: Right, you’re walking back to New Bark Town.
Mr. Snaps: Instead of what? Riding in the car?


Back at Professor Elm’s Lab

Prof. Elm: Mammon, you look great!
Mammon: Thanks. I’m feeling pretty good for being sent through the wilderness back and forth with little explanation, facing down bloodthirsty animals and psychotic collectors. And carrying around your egg the whole time.
Prof. Elm: The egg hatched!
Mammon: Yep.
Prof. Elm: So, pokemon are born from eggs.
Mammon: Apparently. At least, it’d be a safe bet that egg pokemon and bird pokemon do. But something like Panzer coming from an egg?
Prof. Elm: No, perhaps not all pokemon are.
Mammon: Perhaps not. This really seems like something you people should have discovered…oh, I don’t know…around the time you invented fire? Nest you’re going to tell me you don’t even know how the egg was made.
Prof. Elm: Wow, there’s still a lot of research to be done. Thanks, Mammon! You’re helping unravel pokemon mysteries for us!
Mammon: Seriously?
Prof. Elm: I want you to have this as a token of our appritiation.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter370.png

Mammon: Great. And what is it?
Prof. Elm: That’s an Everstone. Some species of pokemon evolve when they grow to certain levels.
Mammon: Isn’t that called puberty? Evolve seems like an awfully poor description. Regardless, what does this stone have to do with it?
Prof. Elm: A pokemon holding the Everstone won’t evolve. Give it to a pokemon you don’t want to evolve.
Mammon: That…seems really messed up. Seriously, who would give this to any pokemon? Why do you even have one? No, wait, don’t tell me. I’m going to leave now, before you decide you want to show me something else you have that you should be arrested for. And I’m keeping Dawn away from you.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter371.png

Mammon: Holy crap, can you believe that? What kind of sicko would force you guys to hold this thing?
Dawn: I think it’s a pretty stone!
Gem: Oh honey, you haven’t seen a pretty stone. This is as dull and bland as they come.
Mammon: I don’t care how pretty it is. Hell, this thing is probably emitting some kind of radiation or something. I’m getting rid of it as quickly as I safely can. And we’re getting as far away from Professor Elm as we can!


A Hasty Journey Back to Route 32

Mammon: Okay, hopefully that madness is far behind us. Lucky that the PokeMarts have a system for getting rid of those stones.
Panzer: Yeah, great, whatever. Let’s get back to fighting!
Grawk: You know, fighting isn’t always the best solution. You should be so eager to throw yourself into it.
Panzer: Ha! What a pansy! Nothing is better than a great battle. The energy of the fight, the taste of your enemies blood, the savor of victory well earned…
Mammon: Calm down there Panzer. You’ll get a chance to fill your (disturbing) bloodlust soon enough.
Grawk: You’re really going to pander to this insanity?
Mammon: He’s better than Vakk. And if I recall, a certain bird was rather aggressive towards a certain Gym Leader.
Grawk: That’s different. That was for a good reason.
Mammon: Nevertheless, Panzer is staying…for the moment.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter372.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter373.png

Panzer: Hahahaha! *breathes fire* Now everyone I face is gonna burn!
Mammon: Damn! You can breath fire?!? Why do you breath fire?!?
Panzer: Because breathing fire is awesome. No better way to destroy your opponent.
Mammon: I have Mr. Snaps specifically because I didn’t want a random animal that shoots fire!
Panzer: Lucky for you, because now you got me! Lets go take out some more chumps!
Mammon: …Fine. But you’re putting out every fire you start.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter374.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter375.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter376.png

Panzer: Come one, let’s go explore. These wimps are getting to be a joke.
Mammon: We need to head south anyway.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter377.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter378.png

Mammon: What now?
Fat Man: For you right now, just $1,000,000! You’ll want this!
Mammon: A million bucks. For a tail. You’ve got to be the worst black market scalper I’ve ever heard of. Do I look like I have that kind of money?
Fat Man: You don’t want it? Then scram.
Mammon: Yeah, ‘cause I’m really blocking your line of customers, right?
Fat Man: Shoo!
Mammon: I’m gone. Good luck with your sales pitch.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter379.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter380.png

Mammon: Well that would explain the fishermen on the docks out there.
Fisherman: You saw people fishing? How about you?
Mammon: What, was I fishing? No, I don’t have the equipment to fish.
Fisherman: Would you like one of my rods?
Mammon: Sure, if you’re giving it away. I’m not paying a million dollars though.
Fisherman: Heh, that’s good to hear. Now you’re an angler too!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter381.png

Fisherman: Fishing is great! If there’s water, be it the sea or a stream, try out your rod.
Mammon: Thanks. I’ll be sure to get some fishing in later.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter382.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter383.png

Mammon: What? Oh, yeah. It is. Gem, please put it away, we don’t want to lose it.
Gem: But it had a smudge, I had to clean it or it wouldn’t sparkle!
Mammon: Well maybe it’d stay clean if you didn’t look at it every 10 minutes.
Bird Keeper: You beat Falkner?
Mammon: Yeah…crazy dude, obsessed with birds. Why?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter384.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter385.png

Bird Keeper Peter: I know what my weaknesses are.
Mammon: So you admit that electric attacks are darn nasty against bird-types? Because Falkner seems to be in a deep state of denial about that.
Bird Keeper Peter: I should train again at the gym in Violet City.
Mammon: Be sure to let him know I’m watching when you see him next.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter386.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter387.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter388.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter389.png

Mammon: Ok, what did we just get? A bat or something?
Nappa: Maybe it was Batman. He was hiding in the shadows. To punish…eeevil.
Mammon: Yes, of course. Thank you Nappa.
Nappa: To strike fear in the hearts of criminals.
Mammon: Right.
Nappa: Because they are a superstitious and cowa-
Mammon: Shut up Nappa. I can’t wait til we’re out of this cave.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter390.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter391.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter392.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter393.png

Mammon: Alright, way to go Mr. Snaps! Now we can put out any fires that Panzer starts
Panzer: Hey! My fire has never missed a target!
Mammon: Yet.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter394.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter395.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter396.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter397.png

Mammon: Oh thank god. We’re finally out of that cave! I was starting to wonder if there really was another exit. Well at least it looks like there’s a town just to our west.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter398.png

Mammon: Hmm, what’s that ahead? Hello there.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter399.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3100.png

???: Aren’t I a good Samaritan?
Mammon: I guess…though if it’s dangerous, wouldn’t a sign work just as well? *shrug* Whatever floats your boat I guess. I’m off to town.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3101.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3102.png

Mammon: The slowpoke? That sounds familiar…
Old Man: I heard their tails are being sold somewhere.
Mammon: Well, there was a man on the other side of that cave to the east that wanted to sell me one…but the price was a joke. Good luck with your search though, I need to hit that PokeCenter.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3103.png

Mammon: No.
Woman: Crack one open, hollow it out and fit it with a special device. Then you can catch pokemon with it.
Mammon: A special device? So…basically all the funky tech that the PokeBall uses? You’re just ending up with a walnut shell instead of a metal casing?
Woman: Before PokeBalls were invented, everyone used Apricorns.
Mammon: This history lesson is disturbing. Please stop before you tell me how long it took people to figure out that a metal and plastic shell was probably a better idea.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3104.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3105.png

Mammon: Why? Is that a good idea?
Lady: A lot of people do just that.
Mammon: Huh…ok, yeah. I’ll check that out. Custom PokeBalls eh?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3106.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3107.png

Mammon: Hi there. I’m Mammon.
Kurt: Mammon, eh? You want me to make some Balls?
Mammon: Well, that’s what everyone is saying you do. So…yeah, please. If it isn’t too expensive.
Kurt: Sorry, but that’ll have to wait.
Mammon: Why, you got a lot of back orders to fill?
Kurt: Do you know Team Rocket?
Mammon: Never heard of them. What is it, a space agency or something?
Kurt: Ah, don’t worry. I’ll tell you anyhow.
Mammon: *shrug*
Kurt: Team Rocket’s an evil gang that uses pokemon for their dirty work.
Mammon: As opposed to everyone else that just seems to pit their pokemon in fights for no reason other than entertainment?
Kurt: They’re supposed to have disbanded three years ago.
Mammon: But from the sound of your story, they haven’t?
Kurt: Anyway, they’re at the Well, cutting off slowpoke tails for sale!
Mammon: And charging insane prices. Doesn’t seem like a great business model.
Kurt: So I’m going to go give them a lesson in pain!
Mammon: What about the police? Aren’t there any officials to handle this? I don’t think civilians are supposed to go around beating up gang members…
Kurt: Hand on, Slowpoke! Old Kurt is on his way!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3108.png

Mammon: Great. Way to listen old man. Guess I should go and make sure he doesn’t get killed.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3109.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3110.png

Kurt: Hey there, Mammon!
Mammon: So did you lay the smack-down?
Kurt: The guard up top took off when I shouted at him.
Mammon: And you tried to chase him?
Kurt: But then I took a tumble down the Well. I slammed down hard on my back, so I can’t move.
Mammon: You’re paralyzed?! How are you so calm?
Kurt: Rats! If I were fit, my pokemon would’ve punished them…
Mammon: …you just threw you back out, didn’t you? And shouldn’t your pokemon be able to “punish” them regardless of how fit you/ are?
Kurt: Ah, it can’t be helped. Mammon, show them how gutsy you are in my place!
Mammon: You’re not hurt at all, are you? You just realized how stupid attacking gang members was. Well you know what, I think I will go mess with them. I mean, what’s the worst that can happen – they wake me from my coma?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3111.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3112.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3113.png

Mammon: Yeah, about that…
Grunt: He startled me so much that I fell down here.
Mammon: Ouch, you ok?
Grunt: I think I’ll vent my anger by taking it out on you!
Mammon: Right. Gang. How silly of me to forget.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3114.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3115.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3116.png

Grunt: Arrgh! This is not my day!
Mammon: Well you did attack me unprovoked. And earlier I just accepter your “good Samarian” bit. You’re actually guarding the slowpoke tail operation, aren’t you?
Grunt: Sure, we’ve been hacking the tails off slowpoke and selling them.
Mammon: I…you’re not even bothering to deny it?
Grunt: Everything we do is for profit:
Mammon: So…what, you’ve got the police paid off?
Grunt: That’s right! We’re Team Rocket, and we’ll do anything for money!
Mammon: Oh, this is gonna be great…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3117.png

Mammon: Do you think you guys could possibly just stop taking tails? No one is going to but them for that much anyways.
Grunt #2: Stop taking tails?
Mammon: That’s right.
Grunt #2: Yeah, just try to defeat all of us!
Mammon: I only asked since you all seemed to be pretty open and not too bright.

Grunt #2: You rotten brat!
Mammon: Hey, you’re the one that attacked me! All I did was ask you to stop with the mutilation!
Gem: Hey…
Grunt #2: Slowpoke tails grow back fast! What’s wrong with selling them?
Mammon: Did you miss the mutilation part?
Gem: Hey!
Mammon: What?
Gem: Check it out! My collection of stone has gotten so big that I need to start culling it and tossing the ugliest ones. Should make for a good attack, handy at helping put out fires…
Panzer: Hey!
Mammon: That’s good Gem, keep it up.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3122.png

Mammon: Hey, maybe you’ll listen to reason. You guys should stop hacking off these tails.
Grunt #3: Quit taking slowpoke tails?
Mammon: That’s what I asked, yes. It’s pretty messed up by most standards…and by yours, I doubt you’re even making a profit!
Grunt #3: If we obeyed you, Team Rocket’s rep would be ruined!
Mammon: Oh, so it’s about respect now?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3123.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3124.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3125.png

Grunt #3: Just…too strong…
Mammon: Yeah, you guys should learn to pick your battles better…especially if you’re all similar. Now are you going to stop this tail-selling?
Grunt #3: We need the money, but selling slowpoke tails?
Mammon: Ah, orders from above, eh?
Grunt #3: It’s tough being a Rocket Grunt!
Mammon: Then you should probably quit. Think about that while I talk to your boss.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3126.png

Grunt #4: What do you want?
Mammon: Well, I’m here to ask you all to stop harvesting tails.
Grunt #4: If you interrupt out work, don’t expect any mercy!
Mammon: I haven’t been too worried about mercy. Competency, on the other hand…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3127.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3128.png

Grunt #4: You did OK today, but wait till next time!
Mammon: What, you’re going to put a price on my head or something? I thought Team Rocket was eliminated a couple years ago…doesn’t make for frightening threats.
Grunt #4: Yeah, Team Rocket was broken up three years ago. But we’ve continued our activities underground.
Mammon: Did you just make a pun? That was terrible.
Grunt #4: Now you can have fun watching us stir up trouble!

Kurt: Way to go, Mammon! Team Rocket has taken off.
Mammon: Thanks. I didn’t do much. How’s your back?
Kurt: My back’s better too. Let’s get out of here.
Mammon: What, before I start wondering if you never hurt your back at all, and you just wanted me to deal with this for you? Yes, by all means, let’s head back to your place.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3131.png

Kurt: You handled yourself like a real hero at the well.
Mammon: I just did what anyone without back problems would have done.
Kurt: I like your style! I would be honored to make Balls for you.
Mammon: Ahh…I get it. Yeah, that sounds great.
Kurt: This is all I have now, but take it.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3132.png

Mammon: A…Lure Ball?
Kurt: I make Balls from apricorns. Collect them from trees and bring ‘em to me. I’ll make Balls out of them.
Mammon: Ahhh…so these walnut shells impart special abilities…because. Well, I did pick one up a bit ago…
Kurt: You have an apricorn for me? Fine! I’ll turn it into a Ball. It’ll take a day to make you a Ball. Come back for it later.
Mammon: Sounds good. I think I saw a Gym in town, so I’m going to go check that out. See you tomorrow Kurt.

Part 2

Mr. Snaps: Hey look boss! It’s that guy we saw at Falkner’s Gym.
Mammon: So it is. Maybe he can give us some idea of what to expect in here.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3135.png

Mammon: Hey there. Can you tell me anything about this Gym and it’s leader?
Adviser: Bugsy’s young, but his knowledge of bug pokemon is for real. It’s going to be tough without my advice.
Mammon: Bug pokemon, huh? Like Vakk? Could be good to know more about them then.
Adviser: Let’s see…bug pokemon don’t like fire.
Panzer: Oh yeah! I’m gonna blaze through this place!
Adviser: Flying type moves are super-effective too.
Mammon: Great, thanks for the tips. I think I’m going to go talk to Vakk before heading in though.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3136.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3137.png

Mammon: Hey there Vakk.
Vakk: *Hsss* What do you want? You’ve had me stuffed in this insufferable ball for ever!
Mr. Snaps: No one else seems to min-
Vakk: Silence you toady! I swear, when I get the chance I’m going to kill him first, just so you will have to watch it before I get you too!
Mammon: Yeah yeah. Murder, hate, kill. Got it Vakk. Listen: We’re headed to face another Gym Leader, and apparently this one is extremely knowledgeable about bug pokemon. I thought you might appritiate the opportunity to talk to him…or crush him, you know, since you seem to have a thing against Bug Catchers.
Vakk: …you have delayed my wrath. For now. Take me to this infested Gym.
Mammon: Okay. Dawn, you’re staying here. You don’t need to see this.
Dawn: Aww, but I bet Vakk is such a nice and snuggly person deep down!
Mammon: Sure…but you’re staying put.
Dawn: …alright…Well, I guess I’ll just meet some new friends then! We’ll have a great time! Come back soon!

Amy: Hi! Are you challenging the Leader?
Mammon: That’s the plan.
Vakk: I’m going to eviscerate him!
Amy: No way!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3140.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3141.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3142.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3143.png

Amy & May: Oh, double goodness!
Vakk: You won’t get in my way!
Amy: You’re really strong!
May: Our bug pokemon lost! Oh, what a shame.
Mammon: We’ll be on our way then.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3144.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3145.png

Mammon: I don’t know…so far I’ve found them to be weak, psychotic, or both.
Bug Catcher Al: I’ll prove it to you!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3146.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3147.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3148.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3149.png

Mammon: You aren’t making a strong argument here kid. That battle took forever and…oh, you’ve got another. Get over here Vakk and I’ll patch you up so you can take down this one too.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3150.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3151.png

Mammon: Poisoned? Vakk, get back here. I’m not going to let poison eat at you! Poison is going to be scorched with flame.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3152.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3153.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3154.png

Bug Catcher Al: You proved how tough you are.
Mammon: yeah, that and I’m not going to let poison kill even my psychotic companions.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3155.png

Mammon: What, again?! And he used to be a caterpillar…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3156.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3157.png

Mammon: Oh, wow! Vakk, you look amazing!
Vakk: Flattery won’t save you in the end. I told you I’d grow more powerful. Enough that I can take down everyone! And with this new body I can send out my powerful new attacks!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3158.png

Mammon: Allright Vakk…if this new body is so strong, lets take you for a test drive, shall we, and finish crushing these Gym Members.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3159.png

Mammon: Hey, can you help us test out a theory about evolution?
Bug Catcher Benny: Bug pokemon evolve young. So they get stronger that much faster.
Mammon: Yeah, that. Perfect.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3160.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3161.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3162.png

Vakk: Don’t insult me, Bug Catcher. If you’re going to battle, offer me something worth my time!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3163.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3164.png

Mammon: Damn that is a huge freakin’ bee!
Vakk: Now that’s more like it!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3165.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3166.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3167.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3168.png

Vakk: That’s right, I won’t even have to work hard! My enemies shall hurt themselves!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3169.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3170.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3171.png

Vakk: And a measly cocoon certainly won’t stop me either!
Bug Catcher Benny: Just evolving isn’t enough!
Vakk: Of course not! But it doesn’t hurt. Fear my power!!!
Mammon: Good work Vakk, but calm down a bit. We’ve got more work to do before tackling the Gym Leader.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3175.png

Bug Catcher Josh: You saved all the slowpoke?
Mammon: Oh, you heard about that? Yeah, I did.
Bug Catcher Josh: Whew, you’re mighty!
Mammon: Seems that way.
Bug Catcher Josh: But my grown-up pokemon are pretty tough too!
Vakk: Enough banter, send them out or be prepared to die yourself!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3176.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3177.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3178.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3179.png

Mammon: Come back, Vakk! You can’t fight like that!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3180.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3181.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3182.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3183.png

Bug Catcher Josh: Urrggh!
Mammon: You ok?
Bug Catcher Josh: I guess I should teach them better moves…
Mammon: Looks that way. Speaking of which though…guys, these Gym Members haven’t been the same push-overs as the last Gym. I’m worried that we aren’t strong enough to take on the leader if his followers are presenting this kind of challenge. I think we need to go out and train a bit, but we’ll be back soon!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3184.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3185.png

Drake: Oh yeah! You’re about to get owned by Drake! Don’t forget the name!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3186.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3187.png

Mammon: Hmm…I don’t think we want to deal with a bunch of these rats, they don’t look all that strong…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3188.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3189.png

Mammon: Hey, are you alright?
George: Uhhh…my tail…it’s…sore…
Mammon: Has it just been growing back in?
George: Don’t…please don’t…take it again…
Mammon: …I’m not letting another person do something like that to you.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3190.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3191.png

Mammon: And now, let’s get some training done guys!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3192.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3193.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3194.png

Mammon: Good work Vakk!
Vakk: I’m feeling more and more in control of my new body and power. I will rain confusion and cripple my enemies!
Mammon: Okay, sounds like you’ve had enough for now. Let’s go Panzer, you’re up.
Panzer: Oh yeah! I’ll show you how it’s done, bug.
Vakk: Just try it mammal. My toxins will paralyze you.
Mammon: Hey, no infighting! Get going Panzer.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3201.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3202.png

Panzer: Oh yeah, that’s just what I needed!
Mammon: Excellent. Grawk, you’re next.
Grawk: As you wish. I feel close to developing a new technique…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3203.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3204.png

Grawk: As I said I can now combine blazing speed with my tackles, ensuring I always get the drop on my opponent.
Mammon: Wow, that’s great!
Grawk: Surprise and speed are the keys to victory. This shall serve us well.
Mammon: I agree! Glad you worked on that. Take a break, Gem can pick up from here.
Gem: Ooh, what am I picking up? Something pretty?
Mammon: No, it’s your turn to train Gem. Put the badge back.
Gem: Aww…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3205.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3206.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3207.png

Gem: Can I please go back to hunting now? This well has a number of fascinating stones.
Mammon: I suppose so. You worked hard, go enjoy yourself.
Gem: Thanks!
Mammon: Hey Nappa
Nappa: What is it Vegeta?
Mammon: We’ve got to work on your power. Go have fun Nappa.
Nappa: Ooh, this is going to the best day ever!

Mammon: Okay everyone, I think we’ve worked on our strategies enough. I think we’re all ready for Bugsy! Let’s go!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3212.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3213.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3214.png

Mammon: That seems like an awfully bold claim to make.
Vakk: You’re going to lose when it comes to me!
Bugsy: My research is going to make me the authority on bug pokemon!
Mammon: I thought you already were?
Bugsy: Let me demonstrate what I’ve learned from my studies.
Vakk: Your studies have been in vain! I will tear you apart!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3215.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3216.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3217.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3218.png

Vakk: Your metapod will not save you! I have evolved beyond it’s power! It cannot touch me now!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3219.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3220.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3221.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3222.png

Vakk: Effortless. Your death shall be long. Come, bring up your minions for me to crush.
Mammon: Vakk, you won’t kill this man. He doesn’t seem to be like Falkner, he’s just interested in you and your kind.
Vakk: Meaningless! His kind can’t be trusted! Bug Catchers will never receive mercy from me! Not after abandoning me!
Mammon: What?! Abandoning you?
Vakk: Enough talk, send out of pokemon, Catcher!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3223.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3224.png

Vakk: Another cocoon? Childs play!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3225.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3226.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3227.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3228.png

Vakk: You see? For someone that claims to love bugs, his abilities and knowledge is embarrassing! I can only assume he is either too stupid to be allowed near us, or he secretly enjoys tormenting us. And he will pay!

Vakk: Ahh! That was a swift surprise attack. It appears that you aren’t completely defenseless! But your speed will not save you!

Vakk: Never! He will perish, and then this Bugsy will be mine!
Mammon: No! It’s too dangerous! His fast assaults are taking too much out of you. I won’t have you dying because of your insane hatred! Maybe it’d be good to let my inner psychosis die off, but I’m not risking it, or you.
Vakk: Damn you! I can take him!

Panzer: Sorry bug-boy, but I’m up now, and I’m going to burn you to the ground! You may be fast but nothing escapes my flames!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3245.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3246.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3247.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3248.png

Panzer: Come on, bring on more! What else can I burn!
Mammon: Come back Panzer, the battle is over! Nothing left to burn for now. Don’t make Mr. Snaps cool you down!
Panzer: Aww…
Vakk: Why did you stop me?! I could have finished him! I didn’t need help from that furball.
Mammon: You know what Vakk? Shut up. I brought you here because I was hoping that it’d help you relax about this whole “kill the world” thing you’ve got going on. So you were abandoned as a caterpie. That just means that one Bug Catcher out there was a scum bag. That doesn’t mean the whole world needs to die, or that all Bug Catchers are so terrible.
Bugsy: Whoa, amazing!
Mammon & Vakk: What?!
Bugsy: You’re an expert on pokemon!
Mammon: What are you talking about? I thought you were the one who knew all about bugs! Do you have anything to say to Vakk?
Bugsy: My research isn’t complete yet.
Mammon: Figures. Well if you can’t help Vakk, at least the Gym Battle was successful.
Bugsy: OK, you win. Take this Badge.
Gem: Don’t mind if I do! Oh, what is this? Ruby? Gorgeous!
Mammon: Just don’t lose it.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3252.png

Bugsy: Do you know the benefits of the Hive Badge?
Mammon: Not at all.
Bugsy: If you have it, pokemon up to level 30 will obey you, even traded ones. Pokemon that know Cut will be able to use it outside of battle too.
Mammon: Well that sounds useful.
Bugsy: Here, I also want you to have this.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3253.png

Mammon: Another TM?
Bugsy: TM 49 contains Fury Cutter.
Mammon: Your Scyther used it against Vakk, and it didn’t seem very impressive.
Bugsy: If you don’t miss, it gets stronger every turn. The longer your battle goes, the better it gets.
Mammon: Okay, that does sound like it has some potential.
Bugsy: Isn’t that great? I discovered it!
Mammon: Well then at least it seems you are doing research. That’s good. I just wish you could have helped Vakk more.
Bugsy: Bug pokemon are deep. There are many mysteries to be explored.
Mammon: That’s true enough.
Bugsy: Study your favorites thoroughly.
Mammon: I’ll do that. Take care now.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%203/Chapter3254.png

Mammon: Good job everyone, the training paid off in spades.
Mr. Snaps: Not that most of you used it.
Mammon: Hey, better to be over prepared.
Grawk: That’s right! Can you imagine what would have happened if we went into battle without training? We could have lost valuable comrades!
Panzer: I still would have burned them all down. Nothing to it.
Gem: Yes, everyone did fine. But have you all seen this beauty yet? I think these dots are polished onyx! Oh, this is a fine addition indeed!
Mammon: Ok everyone, gather ‘round. We need to stop at the PokeCenter to tend to your wounds, and then it sound like we need to find out more about this “Cut” Bugsy talked about. Sounds useful. We need to be able to cut our own path through this world. Come on!

I know that we haven’t met several of the caught pokemon yet, that shall happen in Chapter 4.

I’ve picked up TMs for Fury Cutter and Swift. Should I use either of them, or hold them for now?

Who should be taught Cut once I get it?

The following are pokemon that Mammon may run into and catch in Chapter 4. Let’s get some name and personality suggestions! These are standard encounters…I now have the Old Rod, and I’ll soon be picking up Headbutt, and that will open up a lot of new possibilities. How should I handle fishing and Headbutt?

Thanks! :smallbiggrin:

Yeah, when I discovered I had to split it into two posts I was taken aback at how long it turned out. I wanted each chapter to really feel like a chapter, but this turned out to be a bit excessive. In the future I'm going to try to deliver it in smaller chunks.


Holy **** that was a long update.

You're tellin' me. :smalltongue: I shouldn't be posting multi-post chapters again.

[aturtledoesbite]

Huh. This LP seems interesting. I think I'll keep watching it. And as for suggestions, I can only think of two:

Ditto
Name: Mimi
Personality: Copies the personality of whatever it's currently using Copycat on. When not using Copycat, doesn't say all that much, if anything at all.

Scyther
Name: Slash
Personality: Completely lunatic, favorite pastime is slicing and dicing everything in the vicinity.

Chapter 4: A Cut Above


Azalea Town

Mr. Snaps: So, boss. Any idea where we’re going to find this thing you’re interested in?
Mammon: Well, since Bugsy wasn’t much help on where we can find this Cut, I guess we’ll just have to ask around. If things continue the way they have, I suspect we should be guided to it pretty quickly….Excuse me, do you know where I could find this “Cut” the Gym Leader told me about?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter41.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter42.png

Boy: But these skinny trees make it impossible to get through.
Mammon: Not quite was I meant…
Boy: The Charcoal Man’s pokemon can Cut down trees.
Mammon: But that sounds like precisely what I meant! Thanks kid. Alright gang, we’re going into Ilex to find this Charcoal Man.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter43.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter44.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter45.png

Mammon: You! Why should I tell you anything?
Azrael: Is it true that Team Rocket has returned?
Mammon: What do you…*sigh*…Yeah, seems like it. At least, the guys I beat up at the Slowpoke Well said that’s who they were.
Azrael: What? You beat them?
Mammon: Well…yeah.
Azrael: Hah! Quit lying.
Mammon: Why would I possibly lie about something like that? I don’t take any pride in it, I was shanghaied into stopped them.
Azrael: You’re not joking?
Mammon: Nope. Hell, I still don’t really know who they’re supposed to be, apart from some lame gang or something.
Azrael: Then let’s see how good you are.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter46.png

Mammon: Woah, what the hell man? You want to fight me now, after you ran off at Bellsprout Tower? Fine, I’ll shut you down!

Vakk: Another easily defeated fool!
Mammon: Dammit Vakk, stop boasting and watch out for that zubat!

Vakk: You can’t talk to me like that! I’m tired of you and your attempts to control me! Take that!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter413.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter414.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter415.png

Mammon: You just tried to attack me! That’s it, I’m not giving you any more chances! I’m sticking you in the PC and letting you stay there for I don’t know how long! Maybe I’ll find a PokeTherapist somewhere.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter416.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter417.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter418.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter419.png

Panzer: Ha! You think those little leaves can hurt me? They’ll just burn in my inferno, why don’t you taste it!

Azrael: …Humph! Useless pokemon!
Mammon: Not as useless as you once I get you locked up!
Azrael: Listen, you. You only won because my pokemon were weak. I hate the weak.
Mammon: I don’t care about your excuses, you aren’t getting away this time.
Azrael: Pokemon, trainers. It doesn’t matter who or what. I’m going to be strong and wipe out the weak.
Mammon: What, you think you can take me and my pokemon on then? I wiped the floor with you harder than with those Team Rocket goons!
Azrael: That goes for Team Rocket too. They act big and tough in a group. But get them alone, and they’re weak.
Mammon: Get them alone? What the hell have you been doing?
Azrael: I hate them all. You stay out of my way.
Mammon: Out of your way? I’m not letting hurt anyone else you psychopath.
Azrael: A weakling like you is only a distraction.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter424.png

Mammon: Oh no you don’t! Get back here!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter425.png

Mammon: Damnit, where’d he go?!
Mr. Snaps:It looks like there’s only one path through the trees, so I’m guessing that way…
Mammon: Come on! Hey kid!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter426.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter427.png

Mammon: Have you se…what?
Boy: The Farfetch’d that Cuts trees for charcoal took off on me.
Mammon: Then go get it! Now, have you see-
Boy: I can’t go looking for it here in the Ilex Forest. It’s too big, dark, and scary for me…
Mammon: Oh lord…
Mr. Snaps: We might as well help him boss. I don’t think we’re going to catch up to that guy in this tangle.
Mammon: *sigh* You’re probably right. Alright kid, I’ll tell you what. I’ll go find this farfetch’d, but you’ve got to put in a good word with your boss.

Nappa:Vegeta! It’s…it’s…It’s so cute!
Mammon: What, the bug?
Nappa:Can I keep it? Can I KEEP IT?!
Mammon: Fine, we’ll just catch it.
Nappa:YAAAY!

Mammon: Finally!
Boy: Wow, thanks a bunch!
Mammon: Yeah. Doesn’t seem to be well trained though…
Boy: My boss’s pokemon won’t obey me because I don’t have a Badge.
Mammon: Ahh…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter440.png

Mammon: Yeah, you’re welcome.
Charcoal Man:You found it for us, kid?
Mammon: That’s right.
Charcoal Man:Without it, we wouldn’t be able to Cute trees for charcoal. Thanks kid!
Mammon: *nod*
Charcoal Man:Now, how can I thank you…
Mammon: Well, I heard in town that you knew about this “Cut” technique, and I was hoping to talk to you about it.
Charcoal Man:I know! Here, take this.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter441.png

Charcoal Man:That’s the Cut HM. Teach that to a pokemon to clear small trees.
Mammon: Oh, this is perfect. Thank you.
Charcoal Man:Of course, you have to have the Gym Badge from Azalea to use it.
Mammon: No problem there. Thanks again!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter442.png

Mammon: Okay guys, who thinks they can handle this move.
Mr. Snaps: I think I’m the only one built for it boss. No one else has the claws necessary.
Mammon: Then it’s time to get some learnin’ in Mr. Snaps!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter443.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter444.png

Mammon: Let’s try it out on that tree up ahead.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter445.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter446.png

Mammon: That worked great!
Mr. Snaps: It was a snap. I could do that all day.
Mammon: Excellent. Let’s push deeper into Ilex then, as it looks to be our only option to leave Azalea.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter447.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter448.png

Mammon: Geeze, this place is infested! Grawk, take care of them!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter449.png

Mammon: Great job. Keep a look out for any other threats. Hmm…there’s someone up ahead in the trees and he’s attacking a tree…Excuse me! What’re you doing?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter450.png

Mammon: Yeah. I mean, it looks like you’re attack a tree…
Man:I’m shaking trees using Headbutt.
Mammon: What?
Man:It’s fun. Here, you try it too!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter451.png

Man:Rattle trees with Headbutt. Sometimes, sleeping pokemon fall out.
Mammon: I don’t think I’d really classify that as fun, but you go ahead.
Mr. Snaps: Seems an odd activity, not to mention rude.
Mammon: Well at least the part that likes to bang his head against a wall is buried deep in a forest I guess. Come on.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter452.png

Mammon: Hey, sorry kid! Just walking through.
Kid:You’ve frightened a pokemon away!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter453.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter454.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter455.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter456.png

Mammon: Good work Grawk.
Grawk:An easy battle, though I have learned more from it.
Bug Cathcer Wayne:I hadn’t see that pokemon before.
Mammon: Sorry kid, but fighting me was really the best way to get it to come back you know.
Bug Cathcer Wayne:A pokemon I’ve never seen before fell out of the tree when I used Headbutt.
Mammon: I said I was sorry. Can you think of a way to find it again?
Bug Cathcer Wayne:I ought to use Headbutt in other places too.
Mammon: Sound reasoning. Good luck.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter457.png

Mammon: Looks like this is the way out. That wasn’t so bad.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter458.png

Mammon: Hmm…there certainly were a lot of bugs in that forest. You know, I wonder…how many pokemon have we seen now? …39, huh?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter459.png

Mammon: Pardon me?
Lady:It must be so hard if pokemon won’t appear.
Mammon: Well, that does make seeing them more difficult.
Lady:Try using this TM.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter460.png

Mammon: Thanks. What is it?
Lady:It’s Sweet Scent. Use it wherever pokemon appear. Pokemon will be enticed by it.
Mammon: Huh. That could be useful. Thanks. Now if you’ll excuse us, we’re headed north.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%204/Chapter461.png

Finally, here is a short Chapter 4. The question from Chapter 3 still apply, as do the upcoming pokemon. The next chapter will likely include Whitney…what level should we train to before confronting her?

[Seerow]

Honestly, I'm not sure re: Whitney. I always caught a Drowsey at this point, traded it for a Machop, and Machop would roll his way through the gym 1 shotting everything and ending around level 20.

But since you're looking at maybe not having a Drowsey to trade (and possibly prefering the Drowsey long term, I dunno), you probably want to trade a couple of levels above her Miltank, cause Rollout will wipe out your team if you don't take it out quickly. (As an aside, Roar or Whirlwind could help here, force Miltank out early, then force it back out before Rollout's damage build's too high)

[MammonAzrael]

Well...Panzer does have Roar, but doesn't Whitney usually lead with her Clefairy? Seems like my best bet for avoiding Rollout will be with Grawk's Sand Attack.

Getting Machop is an option, but it'll suffer from an inability to evolve into Machamp. :smallfrown:

20 sounds like a solid goal.

[Illven]

Well...Panzer does have Roar, but doesn't Whitney usually lead with her Clefairy? Seems like my best bet for avoiding Rollout will be with Grawk's Sand Attack.

Getting Machop is an option, but it'll suffer from an inability to evolve into Machamp. :smallfrown:

20 sounds like a solid goal.

Does YAPE work with Gen 2? Or have a Gen 2 version. If so you could make it evolve with a different way. I did that with my Machoke in my let's play.

[MammonAzrael]

I don't know, as I've never used it before. While a part of me doesn't want to mess with the game at all, as this Let's Play has been completely unaltered (including the script), the other half of me hate the trade-only evolutions.

Okay, I'm decided. If I can find an editor to change evolution requirements, what should I change them to? I will only be changing the requirements of trade-evolvers as that is, AFAIK, the only method that requires multiple games. :smallannoyed:

So the following pokemon will evolve in a manner other than trading:


Kadabra → Alakazam
Machoke → Machamp
Graveler → Golem
Haunter → Gengar
Poliwhirl → Politoed (if King's Rock is held)
Slowpoke → Slowking (if King's Rock is held)
Onix → Steelix (if Metal Coat is held)
Seadra → Kingdra (if Dragon Scale is held)
Scyther → Scizor (if Metal Coat is held)
Porygon → Porygon2 (if Up-Grade is held)


Suggestions for their new evolution requirements? There are a lot of options. And remember that so far the only one we actually have is a Ghastly.

I don't know, as I've never used it before. While a part of me doesn't want to mess with the game at all, as this Let's Play has been completely unaltered (including the script), the other half of me hate the trade-only evolutions.

Okay, I'm decided. If I can find an editor to change evolution requirements, what should I change them to? I will only be changing the requirements of trade-evolvers as that is, AFAIK, the only method that requires multiple games. :smallannoyed:

So the following pokemon will evolve in a manner other than trading:


Kadabra → Alakazam
Machoke → Machamp
Graveler → Golem
Haunter → Gengar
Poliwhirl → Politoed (if King's Rock is held)
Slowpoke → Slowking (if King's Rock is held)
Onix → Steelix (if Metal Coat is held)
Seadra → Kingdra (if Dragon Scale is held)
Scyther → Scizor (if Metal Coat is held)
Porygon → Porygon2 (if Up-Grade is held)

I do not have any nuzlocke issues with changing trade evolutions.

I tend to find happiness works well for most of them, for everyone else
Slowpoke to Slowking use water stone.
Seadra to Kingdra use water stone

[Seerow]

Is it possible to just make the items that the pokemon have to hold while traded used to evolve?

Like use a King's Rock on Slowbro and he evolves.

Then just make the core 4 evolve with happiness.

[MammonAzrael]

None of the held items are "useable." So I don't think so, unless you can edit those properties with the right editor. That said, I would think that you could make them evolve if they were happy/leveled up while holding said item.

If it's like YAPE probably not.

[billtodamax]

Use headbutt on every tree you can in the hopes of finding a pineco and catching it straight away.

[aturtledoesbite]

Um, is this still going on? Nothing's been done in forever.

[Seerow]

Last chapter was over a month ago, so I'm guessing not.

[MammonAzrael]

Sorry guys. I spent some time trying to find an editor with no luck, and then life simply demanded my attentions and this got left behind. I'll see what I can do to get some updates (consistent updates!) started flowing soon. :smallsmile:

[MammonAzrael]

I'm finally making some progress on the editor, so hopefully I'll have a new update and be moving forward within the next week!

Woot! pokemanz!

[MammonAzrael]

While PokeCommunity.com seems like a great forum filled with knowledgeable hackers, there isn't that much traffic, so I'm not getting questions answered with anything resembling speed. I've successfully located some instructions for hexediting pokemon evolutions (http://hax.iimarck.us/topic/844/), so the only remaining problem is that I have no knowledge of how to hex edit. So if anyone could help me out with this, please PM me so I can get this ball rolling!

[aturtledoesbite]

Well, while I'm not completely sure, I think the built-in cheat function for VisualBoyAdvance is basically a hex editor. Then again, I'm not sure what a hex editor is meant to do, exactly. I can teach you how to work that, if necessary.

Chapter 5: Rolling Out

While I was taking screenshots for this installment, I discovered something unfortunate. After you’ve taken a certain number of screenshots, it starts writing over the old ones (assuming they haven’t been renamed and moved, of course). So while wandering around talking to all the citizens of Goldenrod and the subsequent Gym, earlier screen shots began to be replaced. So There won’t be any screens of the journey through Route 34, or receiving the Odd Egg at the Day Care, but I think that is all that was really lost.


Route 34

Mammon: Ah, finally out of that forest! Great to see the sun again. And look at that skyline! Finally a city worth the name.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter51.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter52.png

Mammon: Well that’s…different. I wonder what exactly this entails…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter53.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter54.png

Mammon: Hello, who are you?
Day-care Man: I’m the Day-Care man.
Mammon: Really? That’s your name?
Day-care Man: Do you know about eggs?
Mammon: Not really. I mean, I hatched one, but don’t really know anything about them. But then again, neither did that freakin’ professor. Why?
Day-care Man: I was raising pokemon with my wife, you see. We were shocked to find an egg! How incredible is that?
Mammon: Umm…very?
Day-care Man: Well, wouldn’t you like this egg?
Mammon: Do I…want it? Yes?
Day-care Man: Then fine, this is your to keep!
Mammon: Thanks. Is this supposed to be me giving myself a helpingful clue or something. I sure hope so.
Day-care Man: I found that when I was caring for someone’s pokemon before. But the trainer didn’t want the egg, so I’d kept it around.
Mammon: I sure hope it hasn’t gone bad.
Day-care Man: Want me to raise a pokemon?
Mammon: Hmm…you know what, this may be the perfect opportunity. You could take care of Vakk for me.
Day-care Man: Ok. I’ll raise your Vakk. Come back for it later.
Mr. Snaps: Are you sure that’s a great idea boss? Last time he was out he tried to attack you. And somehow I don’t think he’ll appritiate being left behind.
Mammon: He used up any leeway with that assault. I figure a day-care designed to handle pokemon should be able to take care of any tantrums the little bastard throws. And maybe it’ll help him get over things. And if it doesn’t…well, he’ll just be a mental issue that hasn’t gotten any worse. Lets get out of here.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter55.png

Mammon: This place is enormous!
Gem: I’ve never seen buildings so tall! They must take forever to climb.
Mammon: There better be elevators in some of these buildings, I’m not climbing that many stairs. I have no idea if we’ll be able to find that Azrael in this crowd…if he even came this way. I’m going to go talk to people and see if I can find any hints. Grawk, I want you to go fly around the city, see if you can spot him.
Grawk: Whatever you want rookie. It’ll be good to stretch my wings, but don’t get your hopes up. He’s probably long gone by now.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter56.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter57.png

Mammon: Geeze, this is way bigger than those PokeMarts in the other towns. Glad to see I don’t skimp when it comes to department stores!


Several Hours Later

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter58.png

Grawk: Where have you been?! I’ve been circling this building for hours!
Mammon: Hours? Wow, I spent way longer in there than I meant to. Sorry Grawk, I kind of got distracted.
Grawk: Hmph…children.
Mammon: Look, I said I was sorry. I wasn’t able to find anything about Azrael, but I was able to pick up some info about this city. Seems like there is quite a lot of things happening around here. There’s a Radio Tower that seems to have a bit of celebrity. There is something called the Game Corner, and from what I could tell it sounded like a casino or something. I heard some talk about something called the Underground, but nothing really solid. And finally there’s another Gym in town, which I guess shouldn’t be surprising.
Panzer: Another Gym?! Excellent! Another chance to burn it down!
Mammon: Yeah, I guess…oh, did you happen upon anything today Grawk?
Grawk: Nothing to report. It looks like that trainer is long gone.
Mammon: Right, no surprise. I guess it’s time to call it a night then, and we’ll figure out where to go tomorrow.


The Next Morning

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter59.png

Mammon: Allright guys, lets go check out this Underground thing, and then we’ll hit up this new Gym.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter510.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter511.png

Mammon: Excuse me, but do you know what’s in the Underground?
Girl: There are some shops downstairs.
Mammon: Cool, I’ll check them out then.
Girl: But there are also trainers.
Mammon: Ok…so why are you loitering about up here?
Girl: I’m scared to go down there.
Mammon: Well I guess that’s a good reason not to go down. Enjoy your loitering I guess.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter512.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter513.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter514.png

Super Nerd Eric: I got booted out of the Game Corner.
Mammon: Sucks for you?
Super Nerd Eric: I was trying to cheat using my pokemon…
Mammon: That is a rather blunt and honest admission to make to a stranger guy. So it’s what, a place to gamble?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter515.png

Mammon: Geeze, sorry I asked!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter516.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter517.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter518.png

Super Nerd Eric: …grumble…I guess I have to do things fair and square…
Mammon: What, were you trying to cheat in battle too? I’m leaving now, please don’t follow me.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter519.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter520.png

Mammon: Yes, very nice.
Pokemaniac Issac: I’ll show you how strong it is!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter521.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter522.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter523.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter524.png

Mammon: Seems like haircuts don’t really help make your pokemon stronger. Shocking.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter525.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter526.png

Mammon: But defeating other pokemon sure does!
Pokemaniac Issac: Aiyeee!
Mammon: Woah, sorry man. I’ll let you style in peace…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter527.png

Mammon: Hmm, what’s this?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter528.png

Mammon: Huh, interesting. Doesn’t sound like there’s anything inside. Oh well, maybe I’ll find it’s owner somewhere.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter529.png

Pokemaniac Donald: I think you have some rare pokemon with you.
Mammon: Ummm…no?
Pokemaniac Donald: Let me see them!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter530.png

Mammon: Damn, no wonder that girl was scared to come down here! This place is full of crazies! And only a freakin’ barber shop.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter531.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter532.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter533.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter534.png

Pokemaniac Donald: Gaah! I lost! That makes me mad!
Mammon: I’m pretty sure you’re already mad dude. I mean, assaulting me because you think I have rare pokemon? Hell, my PokeDex doesn’t even have any rare pokemon in it!
Pokemaniac Donald: Are you making a PokeDex?
Mammon: Yeah…why?
Pokemaniac Donald: Here’s a hot tip. The hiker on Route 33, Anthony, is a good guy. He’ll phone you if he sees any rare pokemon.
Mammon: I remember that guy. Seemed pretty stable. Thanks, I guess.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter535.png

Super Nerd Teru: Do you consider type alignments in battle?
Mammon: I try to. They seem pretty useful.
Super Nerd Teru: If you know your type advantages, you’ll do better in battle.
Mammon: Yeah, that’s what I thought.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter536.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter537.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter538.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter539.png

Mammon: And that’s what happens with type advantage!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter540.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter541.png

Super Nerd Teru: Ow, ow, ow!
Panzer: That’s right, watch out for my flames, you might get burned!
Mammon: Knock it off Panzer. You alright Teru? And for someone telling me about types, you seem not to take advantage of them.
Super Nerd Teru: I know my pokemon type alignments, but I only use one type of pokemon.
Mammon: Huh…that’s an odd choice. Hope that works out for you.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter542.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter543.png

Mammon: Aaand we’re at a dead end. What a weird place…lets get out of this Underground.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter544.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter545.png

Panzer: What a great warm-up! Now lets go burn down that Gym!
Mr. Snaps: Chill out Panzer. We’ll go to the Gym once the boss is good and ready, not before. And I’ll make sure you don’t burn down anything.
Mammon: No, it’s ok Mr. Snaps. I did say that we’d go by the Gym after checking out the Underground. Let Panzer be excited.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter546.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter547.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter548.png

Mammon: Hey again guy.
Adviser: This Gym is home to normal-type pokemon trainers.
Mammon: That sounds fairly uninspired.
Adviser: I recommend you use fighting-type pokemon.
Mammon: Hmm…I don’t think any of you know any fighting moves.
Panzer: Bah, who needs fighting moves? Let me go, I’ll take them all on!
Mammon: You’re certainly fired up enough. Ok Panzer, lets see what you can do.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter549.png

Mammon: Thanks? You’re not bad yourself.
Beauty Victoria: I like you, but I won’t hold back!
Panzer: You better not!

Beauty Victoria: Let’s see…Oops, it’s over?
Panzer: And that is what you get! I hope you were holding back, because otherwise that was just too easy!
Mammon: No need to be rude Panzer.
Beauty Victoria: Wow, you must be good to beat me!
Mammon: I don’t seem to be too bad at this.
Beauty Victoria: Keep it up!

Panzer: *cough* I can still pound these kitties into the floor…
Mr. Snaps: Not a chance, get back here.

Mammon: Gem! Are you ok?
Gem: I don’t know…that cat nearly tore my eye out…it hurts…
Mammon: You’ll be ok Gem. I’ll get you to a PokeCenter ASAP! Mr. Snaps, finish this, we gotta fly!

Grawk: Worry not, I’ll finish this up!

Beauty Samantha: No! Oh, Meowth, I’m so sorry!
Mammon: That’s great lady. No move, I’ve gotta get to a PokeCenter! Those cats of yours are vicious!
Beauty Samantha: I taught Meowth moves for taking on any type.
Mammon: Great, whatever.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter573.png

Mammon: How’re you feeling guys?
Panzer: Like a new pup, lets go back and burn that place down!
Gem: I’m ok, I think I can see fine.
Mr. Snaps: Me too boss. I don’t think I’ll have any scars, either.
Mammon: I’m glad to hear it. But we’re clearly not ready to take on this Gym Leader. We’ve got to go do some training. It looked like there was some great places we passed back near that Day Care.

Mammon: Ok gang, lets get down to it. I’m not gonna almost lose any of you like that again!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter576.png

Mammon: What is that?! Is it sleeping?
Panzer: I’ve heard about these things. They sleep at all hours of the day, they’re incredibly lazy. Not even worth bothering, because they just disappear on you!
Mammon: Disappear? Well that’s strange enough for me.

Panzer: I’m ready, so ready! Let’s go get that Gym!
Mammon: Great job Panzer. I know you’re ready, but everyone else needs to get ready too. So why don’t you go do some cooldown laps and we’ll meet up with you in a bit.
Panzer: Fine, but don’t take to long!
Mammon: Gem, you’re up.

Mammon: Indeed. And now…hmm…Nappa, lets do this.
Nappa: Alright Vegeta, lets find some dinosaurs!

Mammon: Good work Nappa, no go keep hunting for those dinos.
Nappa: Wheee!
Mammon: Mr. Snaps, your turn to step up.
Mr. Snaps: I won’t let you down boss.

Mammon: Mr. Snaps! What’s happening to you!?
Mr. Snaps: I’m not going to let anyone else get hurt like that! I’m going to protect you and all our friends, and take down anyone who tries to hurt you! I’ll bite their faces off!
Mammon: Woah! Your mouth, it’s huge!
Mr. Snaps: I’m not stopping here boss, I’m going to be strong enough to protect you all!

Mammon: Grawk, you too?!
Grawk: I’m not getting left behind here.

Grawk: I’ll keep up with Mr. Snaps no matter how far he goes!
Mammon: That’s great Grawk. I think with all this effort, we’re ready to take another shot at that Gym. Let’s go guys.

Lass Carrie: Don’t let my pokemon’s cute looks fool you. They can whip you!
Mammon: After our training, we’ll whip you!

Lass Carrie: Darn – I thought you were weak…
Mammon: That’s what you get for making assumptions. We’re here to win!

Lass Bridget: I like cute pokemon better than strong pokemon.
Mammon: Well that’s fine if you want a pet, but it doesn’t seem like a sound strategy for competitive fighting…
Lass Bridget: But I have strong and cute pokemon!
Mammon: We’ll see about that!

Lass Bridget: Oh, no, no, no!
Mr. Snaps: This is only making me stronger!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5113.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5114.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5115.png

Lass Bridget: I’m trying to beat Whitney, but…
Mammon: You’re not quite making it?
Lass Bridget: It’s depressing.
Mr. Snaps: Maybe you need to focus on more strength, less cuteness.
Lass Bridget: I’m okay! If I lose, I’ll just try harder next time!
Mammon: Practice and preparation helps too. Now if you’ll excuse me, but I’ve got to talk to Whitney.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5116.png

Whitney: Hi! I’m Whitney!
Mammon: And you’re the Gym Leader?
Whitney: Everyone was into pokemon, so I got into it too!
Mammon: Really? You just followed what other people were into?
Whitney: Pokemon are super-cute!
Mammon: That’s your reasoning for battling? Because other people do it and they’re “cute?” You got issues lady.
Whitney: You want to battle? I’m warning you – I’m good!
Mammon: How good can a mindless follower be? Bring it!

Mr. Snaps: I won’t let you hurt my friends! Take that!

Mr. Snaps: Your trickery will only strengthen me!

Mr. Snaps: What a weak reply, I’m going to tear you apart!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5129.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5130.png

Mr. Snaps: Just so!
Mammon: Calm down, Mr. Snaps! She isn’t finished yet, and we need to take this with a cooler head!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5131.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5132.png

Mammon: …a cow? Really?
Mr. Snaps: Looks delicious!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5133.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5134.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5135.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5136.png

Mammon: Are you ok?! You got hammered! Watch out for it’s hooves!
Mr. Snaps: I’m fine, just have to catch this thing right!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5137.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5138.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5139.png

Mammon: You’re done for now! That cow is hitting you way too hard, you can’t take another. Let someone else do the protecting for now!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5140.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5141.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5142.png

Gem: You can’t hurt me, my skin is tougher than anything you can dish out. And just to make sure…

Gem: I told you, you aren’t getting through this. I barely have to defend myself, so take that!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5151.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5152.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5153.png http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5154.png

Gem: You just couldn’t handle all the beautiful stones I showed you.
Mammon: Great job Gem!
Whitney: Sob – Waaaaaaah! You’re mean!
Mammon: What?
Whitney: You shouldn’t be so serious! You – you child, you!
Mammon: What the hell are you talking about lady? You were trying to kill my friends, how is that not serious?!
Whitney: Waaaaah! Waaaaah! …snivel, hic…
Mammon: Seriously?
Whitney: …You meanie!
Mammon: Whatever, I don’t have to deal with this.

Mammon: I made her cry? Seems like she did that all on her own.
Lass Bridget: It’s OK. She’ll stop soon. She always cries when she loses.
Mammon: And she’s the Gym Leader? Geeze, what a sorry place…I guess I’ll talk to her…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5157.png

Whitney: What? What do you want?
Mammon: I defeated you, right? Aren’t I supposed to get a badge or something.
Whitney: A Badge? Oh, right. I forgot. Here’s Plainbadge.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5158.png

Mammon: Thanks.
Whitney: Plainbadge lets your pokemon use Strength outside of battle.
Mammon: Is that anything like Cut?
Whitney: It also boosts your pokemon’s speed.
Mammon: That should prove useful…here you are Gem.
Gem: Hmm…gold and silver? It’s fairly simple, but there’s a certain elegance to it. It isn’t as gorgeous as that bug badge, but it is still pretty.
Whitney: Oh, you can have this too!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5159.png

Mammon: Another one of these? What does this one do?
Whitney: It’s Attract! It makes full use of a pokemon’s charm.
Mammon: Their charm?
Whitney: Isn’t it just perfect for a cutie like me?
Mammon: …wow. Yes, I think something like that really is just perfect someone like you.
Whitney: Ah, that was a good cry!
Mammon: Good for you. I’m leaving now.
Whitney: Come for a visit again! Bye-bye!
Mammon: Crzay freakin’ lady, not a chance…

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/Mammon_Azrael/LPPC%20Chapter%205/Chapter5160.png

Mammon: Good job Mr. Snaps, Gem. You two really took care of things back there.
Gem: Of course.
Mr. Snaps: Sorry I couldn’t do more boss.
Mammon: Don’t apologize, you did excellent. Are you feeling alright? You took quite a hit from that hoof.
Mr. Snaps: I should be ok with some rest.
Panzer: I can’t believe you didn’t let me get any action at all!
Mr. Snaps: Well then you can eat the next hoof shoved in my face!
Panzer: Ha! I’d never get hit by such a flailing! I’d burn it off first!
Mammon: Damnit Panzer, chill out. You’ll get more chances to fight. Gem finished this one, it looks like that cow would have rolled right through you. You may be fiery, but that won’t stop a couple thousand pounds of beef.
Panzer: *snort*
Mammon: Good enough. Time to turn in for the night. I want to get up early, and check out that Radio Tower in the morning.

And we’re back! Level 20 obviously was a solid level to take on Whitney, though her Miltank still hits very hard. Only other thing of note was the surprise Abra. When I first ran into it I was discouraged, and wrote it off as a loss immediately. Imagine my surprise when it was actually captured! We should be meeting both it and Barb in the next update.

[Illven]

Whitney isn't crazy, she just dumped wisdom. Which can lead to craziness.

[MammonAzrael]

Yep, not crazy at all. :smallwink: She's just...special.

[Illven]

Yep, not crazy at all. :smallwink: She's just...special.

Nope that's dumped Int :smalltongue:

[aturtledoesbite]

So, is it safe to say that this LP is officially dead?
