*sigh* The pokemon league.... Let's do this guys.
Now comes my assessment of the team. (Since I'm not sure I'll be able to save at the end of the league) Note that this is not Melinda's assessment.

Ah Biollante, unlike Melinda I'm not too fond of you, Ackbar and Jack hit every type you do super effectively, and some you can't. Your strongest attack makes you take a turn to recharge, and someone needed to carry Cut, so one of your move-slots is used up. I mean you have Return and Earthquake, but I think I'll have to actively try to use you, otherwise I wouldn't. On the bright side stat-wise you're good at everything, with the top defense on the team.
As for the journey through the game, I will admit Biollante helped. It's really hard for a Bulbasaur to not do great early, and mid game. It's just late game that you should ditch them.

Jango. Like Melinda I'm not too fond of you, You have two moves used up for plot, have the worst attack stats of anyone on the team (besides if I need Jack to explode on something.) and not that sturdy. Really I'm keeping you for your typing, then anything else.
As for the journey through the game. Jango helped out a lot. An early evolution, and a good attacking combo. Frankly it'd be better, but plot.

Jack. You're okay. You have kind of a weak special attack, but you are the fastest on the team, hopefully that'll be enough. The main issue I have with you, is unless I make you explode, you can only use Electric attacks
Jack okay. Helped out with all the water types I fought. Because Arecus knows Biollante couldn't really help with Tentacruel's and Gyarados's

Say hello to probably the best team member. The highest Attacking score of the team at 188, reasonably sturdy both ways, and not too slow. Sunspot's moveset is my only issue, and even then, Flamethrower, Iron tail, and Extremespeed. Not terrible.
Sunspot helped too, I mean unless something resists, Flamethrower is going to hurt them with Sunspot's massive Sp.atk. Arcanine's are my second favorite fire type after Houndoom

Ackbar probably comes second. Decent all around stats, A massive Hp pool covering for mediocre at worst Defenses. And an impressive move pool. The famed boltbeam combo, along with Surf, and Body slam. What Sunspot has an power, Ackbar has in versatility.
Ackbar hasn't been with us long, so all I can say, is I don't regret making you people pick someone that could surf. Really should have done it earlier.

Plato's not bad. Nearly as fast as Jack, but with similar punch, and slightly better defenses. The Flamethrower is there because Plato has better Sp.atk then Jango, so why not.
I'm not going to say anything on how Plato contributed to the team since I put him on right before Victory road. So let's go!
Oh forgot items, Biollante has Miracle seed, Jango has Leftovers, Jack has Sitrus berry, Sunspot has Charcoal, Ackbar has leftovers, and Plato has Sitrus berry.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/2...firered20c.png
Lorelei, of the elite four.
Plato will be unused for this fight.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/5...nfirered21.png
Thank you.

I might, Ackbar's pretty great. When he isn't going on and on about traps.

If they are frozen solid.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/5...nfirered26.png
Yes. I am.

http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/6...firered28x.png
Go Dewgong.
Jack I choose you!
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/8...firered29z.png
Dewgong. A pokemon I had only see on tv, and read about in school. I never owned one myself. A water-ice type. This'll be easy. Jack, thunderbolt!
Dewgong, safe-guard!
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/1...firered30x.png
Such a powerful bolt was called it was hard to believe my pokemon had grown so strong in such a small time. My hair stood on end, and goosebumps erupted from my skin, And yet, the Dewgong was still alive. It was tough. Jack use thunderbolt again.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/2...firered31e.png
Jack called down a similar bolt to before, but before it could strike, Lorelei had thrown a full restore into it's open mouth. I didn't know how many of those she had... If she was like me, Jack would run out of power before she ran out... Maybe a weaker attack. Jack shock wave.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/3...firered32y.png
But Lorelei didn't bother healing it. Did it fail her, did she decide that it wasn't worthy of living. Was she as cold as me. As cold as I once was?
Go Cloyster.
Jack you've got this.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/5...firered33z.png
Another Ice type. I had precious few of those, only Ackbar and Gale, come to think of it. Jack use Thunderbolt again.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/2...nfirered34.png
A crack of thunder, and a bright light. That was all before her Cloyster died. In a single blow. A frightening thought if pokemon could break free of their poke-balls.
Go Slowbro.
A Slowbro? Granted I never owned one of them either, but it wasn't even an ice type.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/4...nfirered35.png
Jack thunderbolt.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/5...firered36o.png
Another single blow. Lorelei's pokemon were falling around her, and there was nothing she could do. Was the Elite four really that weak? Or was I... my pokemon that strong.
Lapras, I choose you.
Jack, you've got this.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/4...nfirered37.png
The shining veil her Dewgong called faded. For all the good it did her. Would this Lapras fall to one strike? Jack thunderbolt.
Lapras, Confuse ray.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/5...firered38e.png
It didn't. The Lapras was even tougher then the Dewgong, and shot a ray at Jack. He could attack, but it was risky. Here's a full heal, Jack.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/8...firered39f.png
While I healed, the Lapras shot a beam of ice. It was pretty, all the light shining off of it, even if it was damned cold. Thankfully Jack mostly shrugged it off. Jack, Thunderbolt, now.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/9...firered40i.png
And like that she was down to her last pokemon.
Jynx I choose you.
Sunspot, let's finish this.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/7...nfirered41.png
Sunspot, Flamethrower!
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/4...nfirered42.png
And in an instant the Ice box turned into an inferno. A searing torrent of flame rushed at the Jynx. With such speed that the Jynx couldn't even try to evade it. It tore at the body. Blistering it, before it collapsed. Dead.

http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/5...nfirered44.png
Why not? I won fair and square.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/5...firered45m.png
How good did you think I was going to be? :smallconfused:
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/8...nfirered46.png
If you don't want me as a champion, I should hope so.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/8...nfirered47.png
Here you go Jack. Both you and Sunspot did great.
uoy knaht.
She wasn't that scary.
And she was one of the most powerful trainers in Kanto. If nothing else, I've made you strong.

I doubt it.

http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/4...firered57m.png
Go Onix!
Biollante, let's do this.
Jack will not be used in this battle.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/2...nfirered58.png
An Onix, seriously? Brock used an Onix, as the first gym leader I fought. Biollante, Frenzy plant.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/7...nfirered59.png
Biollante stomped the ground, and conjured a variety of plants under the Onix. Thorn bushes, weeds, flowers, great oak trees. They wasted no time in becoming animate and tearing it apart. After-wards Biollante collapsed. The move exhausted him, and I hated doing it to him, but it was his only grass move.
Hitmonchan I choose you.
Jango, go.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/7...nfirered60.png
A Hitmonchan, I had one. Not that tough, but fairly strong.Jango, use psychic.
Hitmonchan use Rock tomb.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/7...nfirered61.png
Jango violently tore at it with psychic energies. Telekinetically pulling it a hundred different directions at once. The Hitmonchan tried to conjure rocks to fall on Jango, but the pain ruined his concentration, and he missed. Jango finish it.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/5...nfirered62.png
Bruno, threw a full restore. Jango should have intercepted it.... Ah well, at least the Hitmonchan was in no better position then before. Jango, break brick.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/8...firered63l.png
And a single punch crushed the Hitmonchan's skull.
Hitmonlee, I choose you.
Jango, stay out.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/7...firered64b.png
A Hitmonlee. I didn't have this one. It couldn't have been too different from Hitmonchan though. Jango psychic.
Hitmonlee, Mega kick
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/2...nfirered65.png
Jango, tore at this one. Just like she did with the Hitmonchan. She even managed to weaken his will unlike the Hitmonchan. Jango finish it, Psychic.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/4...nfirered66.png
Bruno didn't even bother trying to save this one.
Go Onix.
Biollante, I choose you.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/8...nfirered67.png
Seriously, another Onix? What happened to Bruno's team, did Gary come in here, lose to him but inflict enough casualties to that he had to just get whatever he could to replace them? I guess that explained why Lorelei used the Slowbro. Biollante Frenzy plant.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/8...nfirered68.png
Biollante conjured his plants, and this Onix fared no better against them then the last.
Go Machamp.
Jango, I choose you.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/7...nfirered69.png
A Machamp, just like Haddock. Haddock was difficult, flirtatious, and annoying. Maybe I could imagine Jango killing Haddock the same way. Jango, psychic!
Machamp bulk up.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/8...nfirered70.png
Jango tore into it, as it called out and tensed it's muscles. It wouldn't help though.Jango psychic.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/2...nfirered71.png
And it was over. I was half way done with the league.
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/1...firered72r.png
Type advantages, also you using the Onix's
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/1...firered73d.png
http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/4...nfirered74.png
Biollante, Jango, you were great. How are you feeling?
*Gasp* I'm good, Mommy. Just need to rest up for a bit.
Why do you care?
Because a Miltank farmer is by necessity concerned with the health of his Miltank. :smallannoyed:
Why do you hate Mommy?
I'm not sure whether to pity you because you can't understand, or count you blessed. Probably blessed considering how she treats you.
I'm blessed to have such a wonderful mommy.
