Jimera, after reading about that Hoppip, my mind froze and I had to reread it a couple of times......
If this was gen 5 I would consider it though. Anyway, I am just going to givE bullet updates on this. My either MVP will be either Wraith, Cell, or El Gigante. LVP will end up being Jim because that is where most early game bugs usually go :(. Sorry Axemaster :"(

Chapter 2
Eterna is Even Excellenter than I Emangined!!
Here we are in Oreburgh, having just beaten the Rock hard Gym Leader!! Next stop Eterna, right? Anyway I hit the road with my pokemon, as always, along the way - specifically in Oreburgh Gate I evolve origin, Shadya! Anyway I enter Jublife and Prof-R is in trouble, double trouble. So I whip out my "mons and KO them! (High5) I proceed through that dark cave, and pleseant field towards Floroma, only to find odd spacemen, (>.> Weirdos) so I carry on to the Windworks to do some investigating as I am a investigator, I find a Galactic goon their, so I race of to get a key, KO'ing Double Troubles, troubling the Sweet Honey guy, Yay Free Honey! Except I'm not a bear. Anyway I trample my way through the Valley Windworks, and meet the Executive Boss Mars, well I prefer Team Rocket. So I KO'd her pokemon. Especially that fat cat. Meow. Anyways, once that stuff is done, I head off for Eterna City, meeting trainers along the way, once in the forest I help Cheryl out, and we make it to Eterna. After battling a shed-load of Fishermen, I proceed to take my Eterna Gym challenge! It was a tough battle but Custom pulled through KO'ing Roserade - that's an OU, right? Anyway, then with Cut, I proceed to enter the Galctica Building, after some pretty standard battlers, I scare off Juniper and get a Bike! Next stop, Gym3, wherever that it, oh and hopefully Underground to get myself some fossils!!

^veeeerry short............
yeah I agree you could use a bit more detail. On another note though, do you know you can pick up Handicap in the basement floor of Oreborough gate? You only need Rock Smash to get to it, and I'm pretty sure you can use that after Roark.
@KS LOL well yeah, that's why I didn't give it. I might've added some sort of Grenade attack to make things easier though :P

@ waterwarrior I'll be heading back to Slowpoke Well once I get Surf.
@Jimera, you see, I want to catch Jimer myself, especially since the Bug-Catching Contest ones usually know Pursuit, which I want on mine ASAP. Yes, I know Scyther learns it at level 9, but I want the satisfaction of catching one myself and I really don't feel like grinding a whole lot until I blast this game wide open after Morty. Seriously, after Morty I have not many solos. AT ALL.
Sorry to you both, hopefully I'll get them both tommorrow.

Shiny Skarm, apparently you forgot about two other team members, including my Espeon. You need to have a look at those as well.

Do reject the part about "soloing N Shadow Pokemon" though.
6.
^Shiny should then replace the Shadow solos to trainers.
Episode 8 up! Sorry for the short(ish) chapter, it was a lot of time spent in-game in a time where nothing really happens. Oh, and Snivellus blew my expectations. She did amazingly today.
I roflcoptered. And I don't even know what a roflcopter is.Snivellus vs Swoobat
-RETURN OHKO'S
Snivellus vs Unfezant
-RETURN OHKO'S AGAIN
Seriously, though, awesome updates, mate.
That was a pretty good chapter waterwarrior XD I love how you ground the cute little teddy bear to death with the mean, lean, electricity generating machine I gave you. *disturbing grin*
What?
Anyway, I've put up a new chapter of my own up, so if you want to read it, just click on the link in my signature as always! It's mostly grinding again, but I did my best to make it entertaining.

^as always, you have great uPdates. Keep going with Big Banks :D
So my colosseum scramble is ready to go. Link in my sig.
This is going to be brutal...
This is going to be brutal...
Axmaster, I just realized something about your challange you gave me for Wotter... If I follow the restrictions you gave me (namely the "solo your rival's starter twice to evolve") I won't be able to evolve it into Marshstomp until after the FIFTH GYM. Had I realized that there were so few Rival battles at the start, I would have requested that evolution requirement be nerfed, since I thought even not being able to evolve until Wattson was cruel.
Now, it is partly my fault for missing it, but I will ask you whether or not you intended to have the evolution restriction be THAT nasty or not. If you meant it, I'll suck it up. If you didn't I'm going to just going to count that first battle, so I can evolve just before Wattson.
Get back to me on this quickly eh? It applies to this very chapter I'm writing right now...

Eh, just complete it after evolution.
Actually, after having fought her Grovyle as a Mudkip at the same level as hers, and only wining through the use of dozens of items where his most powerful grass type attack was ABSORB, I'm realizing that having Wotter solo Grovyle later when it has LEAF BLADE as a MARSHTOMP is pretty much impossible. It WILL OHKO, there's no X item for Special Defense in Sapphire, no Rindo Berry and Wotter cannot learn any moves that boost Special Defense. So there is NO way to avoid that aside from insane amounts of grinding and/or extreme luck.
Can we just call it a go after the one time I've already done? I like a challenge, but pretty much the only way Wotter will beat her Grovyle is if for some reason she never chooses Leaf Blade, and I don't believe in luck based missions.
And yes, it would have to be as a Marshtomp, as the final time you can fight May is in Lilycove City, and Wotter cannot evolve into Swampert until Mossdeep. Maybe Swampert would have a chance, but Marshtomp doesn't. Especially since I'm not even allowed super-effective attacks.
You know what, just skip it and solo 2 trainers instead. Man I'm off on my challange-giving today. Just because I gave you so much grief, you can use SE moves for ONLY major battles now. Sorry :C
Don't feel bad Jimera, Ax had to slightly change my Caterpie solo. It could barely 3KO a lv 9 Pidgey at lv 16.......
Not to be needy, but I'M THE ONE THAT FEELS HORRIBLE HERE :(. I'm so mad I had to do this to you guys, I really could use some good destruction. Sorry to you both :(
^will nominating you as the most cruel Challange giver be punishment enough ;P
Hahahahaha, you're forgiven Ax because I should have turned it down in the first place. It's my fault too.
Hahahahaha, you're forgiven Ax because I should have turned it down in the first place. It's my fault too.
I will try to be better in the next time. You know what, next time you both want a scramble, reserve a spot for me and I'll give you an MVP.
I have an idea for one based off my most favorite book series...
I could restart and make the rules now seeing as I have yet to get the first badge......
What do you guys say????

Again, it's up to you. If you want to, take it on. You don't have to if you don't want to. That's just what I think, though.

Hey there, long time lurker first time poster in the Scramble Challenge.
Just recently got the push to want to do one of these, I've successfully done a Ruby Nuzlocke before but at times the stress of losing a 'Mon has really gotten to me, so I figure the Scramble Challenge might be a little more interesting.
I want to start a Heart Gold Scramble, can't promise how great my updates will be but I'll certainly keep the thread informed as I go along.
The basis for my Scramble was Farfetch'd. Since Gen 1 when Dux the Farfetch'd joined me in exchange for a Spearow, I wondered why he simply got no love. Well recently I bred a Farfetch'd with incredible IVs of 31/31/31/28/31/31, and decided I should try a challenge with him.
After years of suffering, this Farfetch'd named Dux wants some revenge, after Pokemon Trainer Red gave him to a family friend, Marshall, as Thanksgiving dinner (Farfetch'd is apparently a delicacy). Realizing eating Dux was wrong, Marshall, decided he wanted to become a Pokemon trainer with Dux at his side. The ultimate motivation: defeat Red and exact revenge for years of abuse and sitting in a computer!
Hopefully that's not breaking too many challenge rules, but that's the start I wanted. Feel free to assign any challenges to Farfetch'd that you want, I'll be happy to raise him and prepare him for all of them. As for the rest of the team, feel free to give me anyone, the biggest bunch of under appreciated losers that can be caught in game earns brownie points. Also, really rare Pokemon like Snubbull are fine too.
You can choose whoever you want as my starter (I'd like Chikorita for the challenge but its not necessary), although that Pokemon will be replaced by Dux as soon as possible, so feel free to assign a point in the story where I can get my starter, which could be any time (for example, Elite Four or something outrageous) or not at all.
Also, if you're feeling really mean, feel free to assign losing conditions, where if I fail that part, I lose the Pokemon (except Dux, he must stay with me always).
Thanks ya'll in advance, looking forward to this.
