Another update. My team is really underlevelled I can tell you that much

Gym 6 and Gym 7

-Began the long process of grinding Rassberry the Shellder to become a useful member of the team.
-After having him learn Aurora Beam, I evolved Rassberry into Cloyster
-During grinding I caught Mustacha the Venonat
-Kept on grinding. Eventually he got to arond 33, upon which I used him to finish off the rest of the trainers in the Saffron Gym.
-Switched Rassberry with Baloo for the lead spot. Baloo easily won the battle, and badge number 6 was ours.
-FINALLY evolved Hokus into Alakazam
-Returned to Cinnabar Island and went through the Pokemon Mansion, killing the first Koffing I saw, found the Secret Key, and left for the Gym
-The trainers were easy, and Rassberry easily soloed all of them, becoming on par with the rest of my team in terms of levels
-Began the battle against Blaine. Rassberry easily took down Growlithe and Pontya... only to be OHKO'd from Rapidashes Fire Blast!! Why cant I just have a fucking water-type on my team????
-Sent out Baloo, who defeated Rapidash relativly easily, as well as using up all of Blaine's Potions
-Almost lost Baloo to Arcanine (Level 47, WTF???), but thanks to some smart item using and a lucky hax (his Fire Blast missed turning the 3HKO into a 4HKO on Baloo), I took home another badge... but at a great great cost.
-Ignored Bill's request to go to One Island, and set out to Seafoam Islands.
-Captured a Tentacool along the way (woopy).
-Saved somewhere along Route 20

The Team

Chobani the Quiet Venasaur (M)
Level 41
Ability: Overgrow
Moves: Strength, Razor Leaf, Sleep Powder, Leech Seed
Opinion: He really isnt seeing much usage right now, so he is pretty much the same as last time (except I finally got rid of Tackle for Strength). His usefullness is getting limited, though hopefully he can still help against Giovanni and Bruno.

Gotlegs? the Serious Dugtrio (M)
Level 40
Ability: Sand Veil
Moves: Cut, Rock Slide, Slash, Dig
Opinion: Another falling star, he just really hasnt done a whole hell of a lot recently. He is reliable enough, but idk how much use he will see even in the Elite 4. Once he gets Earthquake he will be better. He'll stay as his speed helps a lot. The only reason I didn't use him in the battle against Blaine was because I couldnt safely switch him in, and even when I could he couldnt afford to take Arcanine's Intimidate.

Hokus the Hardy Alakazam (M)
Level 41
Ability: Inner Focus
Moves: Reflect, Recover, Psybeam, Psychic
Opinion: Evolution finally came, but he still hasnt seen much action. He'll be great against Agatha in the E4, and a good failsafe against Lance. Overall though, he just hasnt been getting much mileage like he used to.

Baloo the Brave Snorlax (M)
Level 43
Ability: Immunity
Moves: Body Slam, Surf, Brick Break, Shadow Ball
Opinion: The MVP of the team. He saved my ass against Blaine, and soloed Sabrina. He has all the moves and all the bulk needed to shine, and that is exactly what he does. There are no words to describe how pleased I am with this guy.

Samus the Modest Raichu (F)
Level 40
Abiltiy: Static
Moves: Thunderbolt, Strength, Brick Break, Double Team
Opinion: The LVP of the team, namely because she hasn't done anything at all since she joined. She is really fun to use, she just isnt all that good. Her time will come in the E4 however, when I use her to take on Loreli and my Rival.

The Reserves

Foster the Serious Pidgey (M); Level 2

Percy the Sassy Primeape (M); Level 30

Rattata the Gentle Rattata (M); Level 3

Worma the Lax Metapod (F); Level 5

Ruffrabble the Docile Fearrow (M); Level 30

Rocker the Mild Geodude (M); Level 8

Mushu the Jolly Ekans (M); Level 6

Only2? the Jolly Weedle (F); Level 7

Ishmael the Gentle Oddish (M); Level 13

HallyBerry the Adamant Meowth (F); Level 10

Hephalumpy the Bold Drowzee (M); Level 15

BabyBoomer the Bold Voltorb (-); Level 14

Bruce the Careful Zubat (M); Level 15

Chance the Serious Growlithe (M); Level 16

Grim the Calm Ghastly (M); Level 18

No Worries the Bold Doduo (M); Level 24

Darius the Lonely Nidoran (M); Level 24

Soucanmew? The Mild Ditto (M); Level 23

??? the Bold Hitmonchan (M); Level 25

Fuckme the Quiet Seaking (F); Level 21

Loophole the Naughty Magikarp (F); Level 5

Bisquick the Careful Horsea (M); Level 15

Mustacha the Naive Venonat (F); Level 24

??? the Mild Tentacool (F); Level 10

The Dead

Lapdance the Mild Lapras (F)
Levels 25-27
Final Words: A great Pokemon who instantly pulled her wieght. I wish I could have done better, farewell my friend.

Heretakeit the Relaxed Poliwag (F)
Levels 19-23
Final Words: I really should put a picture of Jynx here, because that is what died, not his unfortunate Pokemon. I never liked her (as evidence by the name), but oh well, good bye.

Layla the Quirky Vaporeon (F)
Levels 25-27
Final Words: The exact same case as Lapdance. She was a Pokemon full of unrealized potential. I am sorry I failed you, take care my dear friend.

Rassberry the Hasty Cloyster (M)
Level 19-40
Final Words: Originally disliked, he grew to be a great member to have in our short time together. He did great against Blaine and was my final check to Lance that I had. I am sorry I failed you, good bye my friend.

State of the Union

Looking at it, it really isn't too much different than last update. But now the endgame is near, and I really need to fix the final gaps in my teams armor. I have then entire Elite 4 covered except for Lance, who could very well stop my team from getting victory. I need someone who can use Ice moves, and I need them fast. And my only choice now is a Dewgong. This may very well be spelling doom for my game. Wish me luck.
