On the matter of the vote I think I'll just say One vote for authors perogative.

Also I sense that among those phone calls Melinda is being sent is about the return of her father.

[Penguinator]

Maybe if you have to hide about what you're doing and what you are, you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
This coming from a Dugtrio? How is your lower half by the way, can I see it?
... Shut up.

I enjoyed this.

And the eulogy was pretty accurate. I forgot what species Mystery was (I managed to pass over the second picture without noticing, then wondered when I saw the horn attack)

[Forum Explorer]

I say bring Ackbar in and replace Red Baron.


Shame you lost Mystery but yeah no real attachment there.

[RagingKrikkit]

Yeah, more Ackbar, because my suggestions deeserve more screen time!

(No, Illven, you do not get to use that excuse in LSL, seeing as three quarters of the team are you suggestions.)

[Illven]

Yeah, more Ackbar, because my suggestions deeserve more screen time!

My six eggs fear you not, you overgrown weed!

zzzz, My six eggs are sleepy now.
Oh, wonderful

My six eggs thank you for the nap!

My six eggs would like me to tell you, they do not like this lack of motion.


So Scramble. What is it like having a hive mind thing?
My six eggs say it improves our long term planning abilities, in exchange for having poor reflexes.
Is that a good change?
My six eggs say that it would be better if we did not have so many predators.


My six eggs are solarpowered!
That's great.

Here you go Scramble. This should help you survive longer.

My six eggs are grateful for the chance to improve ourselves.

My three eggs have far improved reflexes, and still have the ability to plan better.
Exeggutor the hive mind pokemon. Exeggutor believe they have the perfect balance of planning ability and reflexes with three minds.

My three eggs hear that wild duck is tasty. Should we get it for you?
I don't think I've ever had it. Dad wasn't big on meat. Sure why not.

Huh, not bad. Kinda sweet.


Okay Scramble. We are done for now.
My three eggs thank you, for making me strong enough to fend off predators.

Here you go Dr.Hopkins
You know, if I were a psychic type. I could tell what that is. However I'm not, care to enlighten?
It's an exp.share. It'll help you get stronger.
No matter how strong I get I'll never be a psychic type.






Here are some new moves.
*sigh* And not one of them a psychic move. I can learn those too, missy. I'm practically half psychic.

See it's not fair! That bird gets two types, why don't I!?

I mean, what does the normal type even me anyway?
I think it's the reject pile when Arceus was handing out typing.

And that weed has two types! Why does everyone but me seem to have two types!?

I mean, the poison type makes it easy to take down, but still.

If I were psychic. I could have used advanced telekinesis to blast those spores away.


Oh. I feel something changing in me! Did Arceus see fit to grant my wish!?
Doubtful.

Psychic type! Here I come!

Nooooooo! I'm still not a psychic type! Why Arceus, why!?
Huh, I wonder if evolved pokemon taste different then their pre-evolved counterparts?
What?
You probably don't want to know.
I'm getting a bad feeling from this.
Golduck, the not Psychic type pokemon. Golduck have some psychic abilities, but they lack the psychic type. This drives them into depression sometimes.

I'd even take double damage from it's fangs if it meant I could be a psychic type.

It's just not fair.

What does a reject evolution mean?
It beats up it's fellow rejects a lot, I guess.

It's still weak.
Hence reject.


You know, I'm just happy we haven't seen any psychic types. That'd be really upsetting.
I have a psychic type.
....

Psyduck, would you like to sign this petition to get us a psychic type?
Do petition's work on gods?

Thank you for your time, Psyduck.

Ugh! If I had my psychic type, it wouldn't have had the chance to do that.

I'm not going to resort to fury at Arceus.

Weed. Taste my almost psychic typing!

zzzz. Arceus... A psychic type. All my dreams have come true!

..... I don't want to talk about it.

Even twice the pain of these fangs would be a small price to pay.

*sigh* It's a sad life not bring a psychic type.


Okay Dr.Hopkins. We're done for now.
And I'm still not a psychic type.

Here you go, Squeak,
uh.....
Right, you're the one that doesn't want to say anything.
...


Well you still get a new move.

No... go away....

That... that wasn't so bad.

It's.... just like me...

Can't move! Can't move! Can't move!

Why thank you Melinda, for letting me back into my poke-ball and saving my life.
Unh.

Here, let's hope you're not fail enough to die to this one.
Okay.

Yay for you.
...


If I could do this, then I can retreat while they can't move.

zzzz. Why can't I make friends?

Don't learn that move, it sucks.
Okay...

It looks so hungry....

Okay, that wasn't so bad.


So, uh. Squeak.... How are you?
I'm good....
What? I didn't hear you.
Sorry...
*sigh*

I don't feel well....
I bloody can't hear you! Now I know what it feels like to be Horace
Sorry....

Yeah, probably for the best.

I'm not scared of you! You're just a water type!

Nothing to fear!
Hey, good job.
*whimper*


Okay Squeak, we're done for now.
Th...th... Thank you.
Now you speak.

Okay Glitter, your turn,
Okay, Melinda! Let me show you that friendship is magic!
This ought to be fun.




Here are some new moves, Glitter.
Awesome! Thank you, friend.

I don't need to have super speed to make friends!

Pidgey! Let me join your flock!
Excuse me!
Or better yet! Join my flock!

And now we have a friend to call on in times of need.
Gee. If violence makes friends, I should be getting the most popular trainer ever award soon.

Gloom! I'll accept even weeds as my friends!

And now we're friends!

Even thief’s can count themselves friends of Glitter
Better not steal my stuff.

Now thief. You are on the road to redemption.

Wow you were redeemed fast!

And now we're best friends!
What's the next step? Lovers?
Maybe. That or kin.

I must not be angry to make friends!

Now I come to you with a question readers.

There are seven pokemon with votes. One of the pokemon in the top 6 is Ackbar, who the forum wants to replace Red Baron for, Should I count part of Ackbar's training as the six pokemon. Or not count him, train the other 6 pokemon, and if the forum still wants to replace Red Baron for Ackbar, train him then?

Slick Finally decided you need some of my wares?
No. No I don't.


Here you go.
Slick Thank you, miss.

Slick Hey weed. Maybe I leave you alone, maybe I open up a shop selling weed repellent. How much you got?

Slick zzz Oh... oh that is a lot of gold.

Slick Okay, maybe I'll leave the big weeds alone.
Probably for the best.

Slick However the smaller weeds should be fine. So weed, how much is your home worth?

Slick Huh, 205 dollars. Not nearly enough.
Then why are you taking it?
Slick Because it threw it at me, it would be rude of me to refuse it.

Slick Shoo, thief. I'm a “legitimate” businessman.

Slick Good, it's gone. And I still have all my money.

Slick I wonder if any of my suppliers could get their hands on Bird-be-gone.

Slick Ha! That afraid bird!

Slick Little buggy. How much would you buy this can of raid for. You know so I can't use it.

Slick Hint. You don't have enough.

Slick A “legitimate” business man must not resort to mindless fury.

Slick I could sell bird-be-gone for a lot here.

Slick Taking them on one by one has to be a waste of energy.


Hey Slick. Why do you always say Legitimate businessman so strangely?
Slick Because I'm legally supposed to phrase it like that.

Slick Little duck, if only your fur was gold, and not yellow.

Slick But it's not, and you're worthless to me.


Slick No “Legitimate” Businessman would ever Screech.

Slick Shoo! I'm selling my wares here. You won't leave? Very well.

Slick You left me no choice.

Oh. You've stolen my heart. Won't you please come with me!

It wasn't a request.

Look, if that was your girlfriend sucks to be you.

After all, even if she lived she'd have left you.

What's with all the men? Can't we get more girls?

It just makes me so angry!
I noticed.


So Jack, did you ever consider being nice to get a girl to love you?
I tried that, and it didn't work! Force is my burden.
You could just not have a girlfriend. I mean, yeah it sucks, but it's not the end of the world.
No! I want love, and love I will have.


Okay Jack, we're done for now.

Not my problem

Plato, it's your turn.
Plato Another day in the sun. To contemplate, in it's heat giving rays.

Plato Fellow bird, do you ever marvel at how lucky you are. To be able to soar over the land bound beings.

Plato It's such a shame if you don't.

Plato What if we were all plants. What if we all gained energy from that glorious orb in the sky, would there still be war?

Probably, we'd still need water, and other stuff.
Plato Such a shame.

Plato Cat, you may find this bird a little hard to chow down on.

Plato I may be a prophet.

Plato Did you not learn from the previous cat?

Plato Those who refuse to learn do not deserve to live.

Plato I doubt you ever marvel at how lucky you are.

Plato And it's such a shame.

Plato Little bug, I wonder how much your evolution could soar? It has wings, but it is not the flying type.

Guinevere it's your turn.
I'm ready to fulfill my knightly duties.

Oddish, do you need the services of a knight?

I guess my fame precedes me.

Bird. How would you like to join the knighthood. We could have use of more fliers such as yourself.

Foul villain. Rejecting my offer like that. He should want to help the knighthood.

And this bird is too weak to join the knighthood.
Maybe it's stronger then it looks?

Not even a bit.

Fellow water type. Join the knighthood's aquatic force.
I don't think you're going to get many recruits like this.

He should want to join the knighthood. Who doesn't want to be a knight.

zzz Why, yes. I would love to lead the knighthood.

Thief! You are under arrest.

Justice has been served.
Good for you, I guess.

Can't move... In the name of the Knights of Kanto, I will smite you!

Business man, the knighthood has no need of your shady wares.

That was your only warning. Leave this place at once.


So who is the leader of your knighthood.
A pokemon heard of only in legends. Sucicne the Northwind of bravery!
Could you perhaps take me to your leader?
I will consider it.

I shall beat this grass type. My blade shall not be hindered.


Okay, Guinevere, we're done for now.
This has been good publicity for the Knighthood, I thank you.

Kelk, it's your turn.
And now we have a new place to help people!

I wonder if this oddish needs our help.

I guess not.

Maybe the big brother needs a hand.

I guess not.

Aw. Look, it's a mini me! Do you need help mini-me?

No one seems to need help, this is a nice place to live.

I hope if she needs help, she doesn't need me to go under the sea. I can't do that.

Well, at least she didn't ask me to go under the sea.

I hope this isn't a shady businessman... I dislike those

And it was, such a shame.

We'll have to handle this thief gently.

Okay, Kelk we're done for now.
Okay, Melinda. And thank you for showing me this wonderful island.
Heh, you're welcome.

Raffel, it's your turn,
Let us see what wonders can inspire me on this island.

Glooms? We have them on the mainland also.

How can I draw, if I can barely move?

To me, Glooms have lost their beauty. I have seen them too many times.

Why has my muse abandoned me?

Oddish infest the main land. I do not need more of them.

At last, something new. Should I draw the “businessman” or his victims?

I believe I shall draw both.

My muse is fleeting, I guess.

I must draw much, when I'm inspired then.

Dancing rogue. It's time for a masterpiece.

Thank you for your service to the arts.

zzzz, I will draw forever....


This island is so like the main land, and I've already drawn the mainland more times then I can count.

I'll find a way
How do you know Victory road isn't a trap?

How is it a surprise? You knew I've been going for badges. Sure you may not have been expecting me, but it still shouldn't come as a complete shock.

Gary Your mom has been worried sick about you, says you won't answer her calls.
*sigh* Yeah, yeah. I suppose I'll get around to it.

... Gary? Why would you think I couldn't? Hell I beat Giovanni three times now. Is something on your mind?

.... Ugh.
Gary I didn't mean it like that, and you'd probably like it if I did.
.... Okay, first not into B.D.S.M. Second.... I don't think I would... huh.

Fine. But we both know how this is going to end.

Go Pidgeot!
Jack, I choose you!

Pidgeot, Quick attack.

Ha! You can't even make an attack without crippling your pokemon. Jack, finish it off, Thunderbolt!

Arrgh! Go Rhyhorn!
Biollante, I choose you!

Biollante, Frenzy plant!

Gary, just give up now and save us both five minutes.
Arrogant bitch! This is just a start, I'll destroy your pokemon. Go Alakazam
Not really arrogance when I'm better then you though. Thumbs go.

Thumbs, Earthquake

Go Exeggcute!
Oh, you haven't evolved it yet? Do you need a leaf stone? I think I have a spare.
I don't need your damn pity!
Fine, Go Sunspot!

Sunspot. Flamethrower!

Good job Sunspot!
Let's see how you're little Arcanine handles this, Go Gyarados.
Um.... No, because that would be stupid. Jack will handle it.
Aw, What scared?

Charizard use Flamethrower.
Ackbar, use surf!

Huh, so you survived an attack. You are improving, slightly. Ackbar finish this. Surf.

See, Gary. You could have saved us five minutes by not challenging me.

I curb-stomped you. Again. Like I always do.

So you're always careless around me? One would think you'd learn your lesson.

Gary, don't. Either your pokemon will die to the challenge, or I'll have to kill your pokemon when I get there.

Gary. If I need more practice. You need more then that.

Okay, Jango. What was his problem?
Jealousy. His grandfather was berating him for you constantly beating him, you finding a shiny.
Oh. Ouch. He really should just say something. I'm not going to look down on him for that.

Thank you, sir. Heh. I just came in as Gary lost. We trained a-bit, and I won, flawlessly.



Misty. That was when Endo evolved, wasn't it. They all called me a monster because I couldn't care that a near stranger died. Or was in constant pain, whatever.



You know, I wonder how Lt.Surge is doing?



Right. Erika the hypocrite.

Ackbar help me cross this water.
Ah, seeing how I react to neutral orders.
Sure, why not.



Koga. You know Jango, I never mentioned it, but you did well in that fight.
.... Um thanks?



Right... Sabrina. When I become Champion, she's getting fired. Literally. From Sunspot.

What's your name?
*sigh* Igor. The pokemon league puts us here so if trainers need to re-stock right before the league challenge, they can. But no one ever does.
Don't be sure of that. If necessary, I'd use you. Do you want to come along?
Sure, why not.

No.... At least my body dissolve upon death. No one... will know.... my....under....side.
What the hell?
Now you have to use me.
Get in the ball!

You are going to suffer. Igor. The murderer pokemon. Their life is about to become one of agony.
No wait! What would Thumbs want you to do?
Probably not care, unless it involved me looking at his under belly.
That's not the point.
How is him not caring about what I do with his murderer, not the point?
You shouldn't descend to his level.
...Fine I'll put it up to a vote. Will that make you feel better.
No. Biollante'll agree to whatever you say, Ackbar probably thinks it's some method acting ploy to get him to see how he would react, You probably will find some reason to dis-count my mind-reading of Jack. And you'll just beat Sunspot until he votes the way you want him to. The vote is rigged.
This isn't worth the effort. Do what you want with him, you're in charge of his punishment, I guess.

We're heading back to Viridian.

Smashing Igor's defenseless face would be so much easier then this. But... I... You deserve this... Not the easy route. I won't forgive Igor for what she did, but... I won't hurt her.

I guess the first thing to do is to take out a sixth pokemon. I'll look over my choices in the pokemon center.

Let's see, I have a grass and poison type. A psychic type, A Electric type, A Fire type, and a Water and Ice type. So yeah, I have choice so that removes any pokemon of those types. That leaves me with... Pestilence, Scep, Fluffles, Zephyr, Pcebro, Haddock, Grumbles 2, Paddington, Fluff, Uno, Prof.Kipp, Plato, and Slick.

Team weaknesses. Biollante is weak to Flying, Fire, Ice, and Psychic, Jango is weak to Bug, Dark, and Ghost, Jack is weak to Ground, Sunspot is weak to Rock, Ground, and Water, and Ackbar is weak to Fighting, Rock, Grass, and Electric. Hmm. Lorelei uses Water and Ice types, so Jack and Sunspot can handle that. Bruno uses Rock and Fighting types, So Biollante and Jango, with Ackbar on backup. Agatha uses all Poison types, so Jango can handle that. And Lance uses Dragon types and Ackbar can handle that... So that leaves Gary... His Charizard is his biggest threat..... Mmmm. Maybe... Yeah Plato. He can use rock attacks which are even better then water attacks. Welcome to the team Plato.

Golbat. The seer pokemon. Golbat believe they can see the fourth dimension, to see the future, and judge others.
Shared among us huh. I hope I'm not becoming more like you.
My bond with you has grown. You saved my life. If we had no bond, I doubt you would have cared enough to do so.
....

I wonder what that did.

Okay, ignoring the innuendo. I probably am. We both have eight badges. We are both talented trainers. Everyone here is.


Good job Ackbar.
A trap filled dungeon. No wonder you brought me. I can sniff out traps like the wind.
.... Sure you can.

Well I don't want to lose to anyone either....

Oh, I'll show you!


No you didn't! You didn't even get to attack once.
Hypothetically, you could have been unable to command us, and he'd have won possibly that way.

Clearly.

Of course there's more.

Well, Plato. Time to move this boulder.

And then the Pokemon league.


Nice Sunspot!
*sigh* What if we can't handle the League, what if we die?
We'll be fine.
What if...


I already figured that out... Uh, thank you sir.

Yes, I do.

That man's question was a trap!
Um.... thank you for telling me that.

See! I'm a master of trapfinding.

*sigh* Of course he did.

Stay away from me!


Don't threaten my Mommy!

Not for me.


Um thank you.
Now that the fires of battle are over, let us spread the balm of peace.

Hopefully that's what Gary decided.

Really? I wonder who that is.


If he were older, would he consider you a child? I wonder....

Maybe he means me! Because we're amazing!

Hate these things!

Wait... Were you talking about me?
... Yeah, yeah he is.

Yes, three times. But I'm not a child.

Let's move this.

Is that a promise?



I seriously doubt he'll take you to the elite four.
Yeah, but I wish.

ruO rewop si retaerg neht sruoy.

Even that I'm not so sure about.

Um... I'm really not sure that's true of all trainers.


nooS ti lliw eb eht etamitlu tset

Really? You think so!

I haven't really had too many tough battles.

Oh so the league is a religion now?


Yes, I beat you.
Talking to her, was a trap!


Or you might get trapped.
Arrgh!

What?


I guess she helped show how good Sunspot was.
The fact that she used only Grass types helped.

Not really, I curb-stomped you. There wasn't anything to compare.

I'm pretty sure that wouldn't actually work.


You cannot win, if you refuse to look at the rules.
The rules are a trap!


What?


Thank you, and you should extend that to my Pokemon.

Uh....

No thank you...

Okay

The pokemon league...

Our power is greater then yours

Soon it will be the ultimate test.

First off, sorry about the long delay. I was worried about something I confirmed as true. Photobucket changed it's layout some time ago. The change in layout also resulted in a loss of the feature I use to grab all the image codes at once right after I upload, instead of one by one. Which is a pain.

If any of you have any suggestions to switch to an img host that'll let me grab all the image codes at once, or even several of them at a time, I'd appreciate it.


Be that as it may, next time we are grinding the reserves. This time to Level 54. Electra, Gale, Nova, Igor, and Batrick.jr get to come, and you can vote up to six pokemon.


Also after that, we take on the pokemon league. What level should my team be for that.

I'm thinking of going up to level 63. What do you think?

[Forum Explorer]

You could likely win without training more, so I'll put the cap at 60 so there's some tension.

I say replace Ackbar with Red Baron and you'll be good to go. Also Ackbar was amazing this chapter.

[Penguinator]

If any of you have any suggestions to switch to an img host that'll let me grab all the image codes at once, or even several of them at a time, I'd appreciate it.

You can actually do it in Imageshack by uploading multiple images at once. You have to go and click each image, Nope, they allow highlighting now. All the codes are in a tiny little box in the corner. (Just change the formatting)
