"Genesis" is my preferred name of choice
Already gave that name to GenesisTwilight (spoilers >.>), woops.
I
Huh, starting out in the back of a moving truck... what a caring family. Proceed out of town and come across the hapless Birch. With the aid of KAZBAR the Treecko, I rescue him. Return to town, discover I have to chase down May. Reach level 7 prior to doing so... and then early travesty struck.
Against my expectations, May didn't send out a Torchic... instead choosing to lead with a Skitty. Didn't think that would be an issue, until...
Skitty used Attract! KAZBAR is infatuated! KAZBAR refuses to attack! KAZBAR refuses to attack! KAZ...etc. Sadly, Skitty had no such qualms, and KAZBAR was butchered without mercy. At least it was an early wipe...
Quickly make my way back to the same point (reaching level 9, had a down to the wire battle with a Doduo along the way)... this time, the devious Skitty did not use Attract, and KAZBAR made quick work of it and Torchic. Return to Birch's lab and receive some PokeBalls... now the journey can truly begin.
Route 101 and 103 are both unavailable due to not having pokeballs along the way... missed out on a Ratatta and a Doduo.
Route 102 yields me NATWAFAKID the Seedot... woo for another grass type, and one without any attack to boot! Grind him up a few levels... learns Growth, but still no attacks, augh. Other than that Route 102 passes uneventfully.
Route 104 greets me with PERIL the Paras... another grass, yes! While giving PERIL a few levels, KAZBAR has a couple close calls due to the Poison Point of the Nidoran Ms populating the area, surviving in the red after frantic runs back to Petalburg. Having three Pokemon weak to poison is quite a frightening prospect without antidotes...
After PERIL and NATWAFAKID reach level 10, with KAZBAR at 13, I head into the Petalburg Woods. Inside, BOSHY the Spinarak joins the force, continuing the weak to fire theme, but giving a much needed not-weak-to-poison recruit. Still, trainer battles in the woods result in a couple close calls with poison, one of which leaves KAZBAR at 1 HP as I deliver him to the PokeCentre. At this point I remember I have a couple potions and antidote berries... This is key, as upon exiting the woods he was poisoned yet again, and after the use of a potion he still only survived with 4 HP. BOSHY decides he wants some power and butchers Paras and Mareeps back on 104 until he hits level 11.
This decision proves most fortunate, as Rich Boy Winston on 104 leads with an Acid wielding Pineco -- sure death for any of my other Pokemon. Even though Winston blows a full restore on him, BOSHY triumphs in the red, leaving the Silcoon and Cascoon that follow to PERIL and KAZBAR. The next trainer sees NATWAFAKID finally learn an attack (Nature Power, woo unreliability!) as he hits level 13.
Decide to avoid the Gym in Rustboro for the moment and head to Route 116. GenesisTwilight wish is granted, as GENESIS the Surskit joins the ever growing bug or grass contingent. Fire, poison, and flying are gonna be interesting at this rate...
