Still need 1 more. QWAZ you still going to make one or will you let someone else take the spot?

Challenge The Scramble Challenge - Mark 2
- Thread starter Its_A_Random
- Start date
And the easiest challenge I've given out apart from Fierce the Starly well I understand you didn't want to scroll through a 100 pages lol
Yeah, give sombody else the spot, I have no business writing up huge posts anyway. (day 4 of the flu ) :(
I'll reserve for you, gonna give you an elaborate Pokèmon that has a long, detailed backstory. :3 Snce I'm too late to give Level 51 a Pokèmon, I'll give one to bidoof. I'll edit later on.
So do you have a free spot Skyshade? If you do I'll write something up for you. You're also obviously free to take Matilda if Level 51 doesn't want the poor guy.
Additionally, I feel like attempting one of these. I'll be playing White, and I want easy-medium challenges, with a strong preference for characters with elaborate or interesting backstories or quirks. Please no "can never evolve to final form" challenges, but feel free to make me work for that evolution. I'd also like one of Stunfisk/Zebstrika/Maractus/Braviary/Lilligant if possible, but feel free to suggest anything. If I can be bothered, I'll be training these up to beat the champion, so I'd quite like to have one Pokemon I won't get until after N.

FastFlygon, catch yourself a Blitzle and name him Megawatt.
This Blitzle manages to get his hooves on your Pokedex, and decides to follow it blindly.
He must switch in and use an Electric-type move, then solo them or die trying (Unless this conflicts with another solo).
He must solo Elesa to evolve.
After he evolves...
He must always use Flame Charge or Quick Attack on the first action in any battle, and can never forget these two moves.
In addition, if hit with a move that lowers his speed, he can use only Quick Attack or Flame Charge for the rest of the battle.
He must solo three Pokemon in the Elite Four.
Good luck!

Reserving a Shuckle for FastFlygon.
EDIT: Take Tricky the Shuckle.
Tricky is in love with Power Trick. So, it must always use Power Trick at the beginning of each battle. It is also afraid of fainting, so it must use Rest every time it is in red health. Once you do this 5 times, you may learn Power Split, to overcome that low Defense. Now use Power Split first every battle. Get rid of Power Trick. Your final movepool will be Defense Curl/Rollout/Rest/Power Split. Solo Volcarona.

Already started, working on beating Elesa right now
Chapter 10 of Ruby is (finally) up!
I had a lot of trouble finishing this thanks to my AP exam (which was today), but I finally got my act together and finished it. In this episode, shit happens. I don't want to spoil it for you, but suffice to say that an encounter with Team Magma at the Ocean Museum brings back a few unpleasant memories.
Also, if you have not voted for the Scramble Awards, please do so! The options are in the Social Group, so make your voice heard via PM!
EDIT: @KS: It doesn't matter if something similar was written recently, just write what you want. Tell the story that you want to tell.

Awesome, Shiny!!
Sadly, that sounds extremely similar to the Chapter I am writing >_>
Time to rewrite :(

Wow... Very nice Chapter, Skarm, quite dark. I have something planned like that as well, although mine isn't going to be as cut and dry as Maxie killing Larsen. Probably going to have it in my HG Scramble, and my Black Scramblocke is going to be full of surprises. Again, I apologize to everyone for not getting a Chapter out in over a month. D: I'm working on it though.
And finally giving bidoof his Pokémon, editing now.
bidoof, take Astoria the Gastly. Now, Astoria was a noblewoman in ancient times before the present, living in the Old Chateau with her daughter, her butler, and her girlfriend. That's right, Astoria was lesbian. Now, because she liked women, a corrupt police cop that once tried to hit on her ended up going into the Chateau and slaughtering everybody but the girlfriend inside, Astoria included. Her daughter and butler were turned into spirits that haunted the Chateau ever since, but Astoria was turned into a Gastly. Now unable to tell her lover that she was murdered by a cop, her lover hung herself in grief. Now zoom four hundred years to present times. You're looking around in the Chateau, when you spot a Gastly, forlorn and unwilling to do anything. Once you catch her, you realize that all is not what it seems with this Gastly. You do not know she is the spirit of a noblewoman yet, but that will be revealed in due time. First off, she refuses to attack female Pokémon unless she absolutely has to, while she vengefully attacks male Pokémon. Due to a cop killing her when human, she absolutely despises all cops, and must destroy all of their Pokémon. In addition, due to her not knowing how to use her new powers, she can't use moves with a BP of 80 or more. Once she evolves into a Haunter, Astoria will fall in love with another Pokémon (must be female), who, in a twist of fate, will be Astoria's lover from before she was murdered. Now, Astoria is renewed, and she vows to protect her lover. If her lover is in red health, Astoria will switch in to let her heal up. In order to evolve into a Gengar, she must defeat Maylene, who is unfortunately related to the corrupt cop that killed her. And finally, have fun.
Recap----
-Catch a female Gastly, name her Astoria
-Cannot use moves above 80BP
-Hates male Pokémon, likes female Pokémon
-Hates cops and must solo them all
-No restrictions to evolve into Haunter, solo Maylene to evolve into Gengar
-Designate a female Pokémon, is Astoria's lost lover. Must switch in if lover is in low health to let her heal
-GLHF
DISCLAIMER: I am not female, and I am not attempting to offend anyone. It's just a simple Scramble Challange, with a very elaborate backstory.

...I should probably get working on Chapter 2 of mine.
I will probably start later today, and update about once every week, depending on how much I play. Notice how all my Pokémon are, at this point, at the start of their evolution line, except for Gyarados, which I will have to catch from the Lake of Rage. Pretty excited for my first Scramble in a year!
Edit: I just now noticed I have three water-types, all with a focus on physical... Oh well, can't really go wrong with water-types.
Alright so my team is:
Kinda saw a Bidoof coming. Seems like he doesn't learn a lot of boosting moves, but a set of amnesia, double team and curse should probably do the trick. Hope I'll catch it with simple, atleast then it should be able to do something. Going to try to solo Gardenia so I can use charge beam when I get it.
Seems very interesting, hope I won't get a -speed nature, I'll probably have to save up on tm's a bit and I'll add the rule of not allowed to have the same attack twice after losing one. I'm going to try and solo Roark and then either Byron or Volkner.
Whaha, if he doesn't have storm drain, he will be a pain in the ass, I'm hoping for a good HP type, though I'll probably end up with water :P
Pretty straightforward, will probably get a lot of play as the random trainers just love status moves. Gym leaders shouldn't pose a problem as eevee luckily learns bite.
Doubleslap Chansey here I come. Since it can't heal in any way, I think I'll give it healing wish so it can atleast heal someone else. Having a low encounter rate it'll probably take a while to get one, let alone be able to evolve it.
A lesbian Gastly... This is probably the most random and unique thing I have ever heard regarding to pokemon. One problem with this though is that Maylene already has to be solo'd by Espeon. Could you perhaps pick another leader? (Or even another evolution rule if you like.)
Thanks guys for the creative teams, I'll try to keep you updated and will start playing right now. ^^

A couple of questions. Does Megawatt still try to communicate as a Zebstrika, or is that restriction removed when he evolves? Also, I'm assuming Shuckle must use rest from red health five times to learn Power Split, right? Or should he just use Power Trick five times?
Still need four challenges! Once again, I prefer Pokemon with a backstory or explanation for their quirk; the stranger/more in-depth the better! I'd also like a Pokemon that I can get ahold of by the first random trainer encounter (route 2 I think) so that I'm not forced into using a starter for any battles; if it's something that can be caught on route one, even better.
@bidoof: Hah, your comment just really made my day. Glad you like my Challange. :) and how about she solos Fantina instead, due to her using Ghosts to battle, and it both confuses and enrages Astoria. Also, since Fantina has all female Pokèmon, the gender issue does not count for said battle.
Fantina also has to be solo'd already, by eevee to evolve, so except for those 2 and wake, they're all available. :)
Hmm.. Fine, there are no evolution restrictions, but Astoria has to solo Candice, noticing the Froslass, and once again, it confuses and enrages her as to why anyone would use Ghosts to fight. And once again, the gender issue doesn't count for her.
I am taking a short break from Scrambling to try something new:
A Nuzelocke.
Depending on how well my experience goes, I may or may now have updates foe a little while.
Sorry guys and gals >_>
If anyone cares, I am at the 2nd gym and no deaths yet.
Edit: Bugsey's Scyther was a ****!! Luckily Haxy the Togepi has a +Def nature.
No deaths!!

Ooh! Speaking of Nuzlockes, I've been meaning to start a 'semi-blind' Nuzlocke of Emerald Version. I've never played it, although I know the general principle of the game. I think I might make it a Scramblocke, as I've never done one before.
There would be no updates, it would just be a 'play-for-fun' deal. I'd probably post short progress reports after each gym or something, or report the death of a party member, but other than that, don't expect much.
I don't know for certain when I'll start, but I will begin accepting challenges now.
Rules:
1. It's a Scramblocke. No mandatory solos, i.e. solo of a gym leader or particular trainer. I will likely not be able to oblige. Request solos, or optional solos, will be done if possible.
2. I will be accepting 17 pokemon, one of each primary type. If ever I have to ask for more, I will do so.
3. No nicknames. It's a Nuzlocke, I give my own names.
4. Please limit yourself to Gen I or Gen III pokemon, no legendaries. My supply of Gen II pokemon is sadly lacking.
5. I will breed in and trade over eggs from Sapphire, hatch in Emerald, and begin my adventure with a party of 6. When I have need for a new party member, it will be brought to the average level of my party members (or as close as is feasible) in Sapphire, using the EXP share, then traded back to Emerald.
6. Keep the difficulty moderately to high. First ever run-through here.
7. I require a starter, just for simplicity's sake.
8. I reserve the right to veto any pokemon or modify these rules at any time in an effort to more completely describe what I am looking for. Let's see some good challenges people!
Chapter 2 of my Platinum 5th Day 5th Month Scramble is up! Still no Dice, but he'll show up next chapter, I promise!
Anyway, user 18, take a Mudkip.
This Mudkip is my method of returning the favor for the Mudkip you gave me for my Emerald Mono-Water Scramble, so it may never evolve. Fortunately, it's not expected to solo anything, but like the Mudkip you gave me, it cannot learn Surf or Ice Beam, nor can it battle in Flannery's gym.
