Finally a new pokemon for my party. A new friend :) and look everyone, it's gulpin! Isn't he a cute little jizz blob! I'mma call him Pudge, after the DoTA legend. He's a little a pudgy bloy. 

So that'll take care of my fighting weakness. And I found out after using sludge on a fairy type that he's also a fairy counter. Swell!

So I got to a new town and found the professor bitch guy. I whooped his bum with Bibarrel so he decided to give me a pokemon. I went with the classic: bulbasaur. 

Everyone always overlooks bulbasaur but he's a pretty blittle bloy. Him and his aptly bulbous forehead. So naturally, I named the boy Mudkip... and then released him. It was sad to see him go but it had to be done.

That makes two mudkips released to date.

So I was feeling really excited about my combee because a vespiqueen would cover my fighting type weakness perfectly. I show it to my roommate and he says, "you know that it only evolves if its female, right?" 

Never have I dropped the f-bomb with such vigor as I did that night. This game just hates me. I'm not paranoid; it actually wants to kill me in real life. I woke up the other night and it was standing over my bed just looking at me... Menacingly...

If I go missing, Pokemon X is probably the murderer.

I enter the new route and run into a combee! It's the perfect pokemon to counter my fighting weakness. 

I snag that blittle bloy and name him Marx. I also receive an experience share from the person who is going to be the next gym leader. And now I journey on... 

This game is just spitting in my face. Just after beating the big gym I discover that I can trade my ugly bunny to some guy for a flying type. I make the trade and say goodbye to Peter. 

It's still a normal type, but at least it's flying too so I'm not quite as susceptible to fighting types. It's a good day.

 

I apologize in advance about the crappy picture qualities on the next few photos. 

I entered the gym, palms sweating, with a bad feeling in my stomach. The pain of losing Spiff was still with me. But I grinded for a little while before entering so Peter and Chuckles, so I shouldn't be that afraid.

The battle went smoothly. Chuckles just barely managed to take out the leaders butterfly thing, and just to taunt me (like this game has done so many times already) it learned rollout right after the gym was done. That would have been useful a battle earlier. 

But I got my big badge and everything was okay. I took the boyz out for a roaring time on the town to celebrate our victory and then we headed on.

RIP Spiff

And it happened...

I ran into a riolu, and it didn't even have any fighting attacks. But Spiff tried to be a hero and then the riolu used counter and he was gone before I could even say goodbye. Sweet dreams, my little prince.  

Fuck riolu...
