Okay, time to continue on with my challange! First thing's first, gotta train up Thirsty!… Hmm, I think I'll go back and teach her Headbutt, for the slightly higher power. Pretty pointless, but I've got time on my hands!…. Whoah its Entei!! Sweet!! WHAT, no don't run away!! Please??! Aww, never mind… Okay I'm done grinding Thirsty, now to continue!… Oh hai Baoba, you own the Safari Zone? Awesome, I'll probably never go there!… Aw, I have to give this Miltank approximately 100,000,000 oran berries if I want to buy Moomoo milk? BERRY POTS GO!!!! *one day later* Sweet, that Miltank is healthy again!! --> GET MILK. Oh, Thirsty wants to learn Body Slam? Well that makes getting Headbutt earlier pretty pointless…. Whoah, DUMBO is a pretty awesome mixed wall now- she can even tank x4 effective, STAB special attacks with Sandstorm up (read: poliwhirl's water gun). What a beast.
Oh cool, Olivine city!… Oh its that REDHEAD!!! What? You're calling me a wimp?? ME???? DIE DIE DIE!!! What, don't run away!! What a jerk. Oh, Jasmine's out, helping a sick pokemon in the Lighthouse? Better check it out!… Sweet, an elevator! This means I won't have to battle thousands of trainers to get to the top for once! Oh, there's Jasmine with an Ampharos… In a blocked off area. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- Well I've decided that Titan really doesn't need Roost, so I'll teach it to I'mADoctor, over Uproar. Oh, now you want to learn Take Down too? Well, now she has roost to heal off the recoil, and it'll be her strongest move for a few levels, she can have it over peck…. What Jasmine, you want me to go to Cianwood City to get medicine to save Amphy? Sure, I guess. However, I need a Surf slave! I guess i could use Thirsty, but I have a planned move set for her and Surf's not on it. Since the Move Deleter is in Blackthorn city at the very end of the game, I'll catch a Krabby! Welcome to the team, Mr. Krabs!
Ooh, female swimmers! Oh don't worry ladies, there's nothing to be scared of… Wait no, why are you attacking me with you're pokemon? "Go away, creep!" Nevermind, I guess it's just the game's coding which makes them run away…. Hmm, on second thoughts, I will probably need a Fly slave too, as I'mADoctor isn't allowed to learn it. So I go back and catch Wingz the Pidgey!… Whoah, DUMBO just tanked a Water Pulse from a Seaking. O_O awesome… MOTHER!! Y U HAV TO CALL ME EVERY 5 MINUTES?? Ah who cares, she'll give me awesome items. Worth it. Oh sweet, I'm at Cianwood city!… Whoah, it's Suicune again!! No, why do you keep running away?? Oh hai Eusine, you want to battle? Okay, no problemo. Wow, I'mADoctor did really well this time, soloing 2/3rds of his team. Hmm, she still needs some grinding though, so I'll do some fishing… WHOOPS, I just levelled I'mADoctor, DUMBO, and Thirsty to level 28, meaning Trifroce's restriction is broken! Goddammit…. YES, I'mADoctor is at level 29, allowing her to learn Air Slash! I'll put it over confusion. This will be very useful in the upcoming battle…. Oh cool, Thirsty want to learn Zen Headbutt! Sure, I'm gonna say goodbye to Defense Curl… Sweet, I'mADoctor is at level 31 now, I think she's ready to take on the gym!… Awesome, DUMBO learned Rock Polish in the Gym. Moveset complete! Now, Chuck, I'mADoctor has an appointment with you…
I'mADoctor comes out, and he sends out Primeape. He uses double team, but Air Slash still hits (thanks to the Wide Lens), sending Primeape into the yellow. Primeape prepares a Focus punch, but my owl's Air Slash connects, getting the KO! He sends out Poliwrath. Scaredof the Focus Punch, I use air slash, doing about 1/3rd HP, while his mot powerful attack is foiled. He uses surf, nearly taking I'mADoctor into the yellow, and AIr Slash hurts him more, activating the Sitrus Berry. He uses surf again, bringing I'mADoctor into the red, and Air Slash hits again, leaving him with about a third HP remaining. I heal with a Moomoo milk, and his frog uses Hypnosis, which misses (it doesn't matter anyway, I'mADoctor has Insomnia.) He tightens his focus for a mighty punch, but Air Slash hits… and Poliwrath has about 1 HP left. Then… he heals with a hyper potion (typical), and I hit again with Air Slash. This time I won't tolerate anything, so I use hypnosis. He prepares to launch a focus punch… hypnosis misses… and I'mADoctor in OHKO'd. I send in Triforce as heal fodder, who takes two Surfs. I send in a now-fully-healed I'mADoctor on a Hypnosis. He uses surf, taking I'mADoctor into the yellow, and I'mADoctor hits with a (you guessed it) Air Slash. Then Poliwrath stares down I'mADoctor, taking in every move, curling back its hand in anticipation of an explosive Focus Punch, but before he can execute the technique, my little Hoothoot fires a shot of pure air, stabbing Poliwrath through the heart with a mighty Air Slash. Prof won the Storm Badge, and I'mADoctor has earned the right to evolve! Chapter 5 out!
Pokemon on team: 6

(Pokemon ranked from MVP to LVP)
Titan the Scyther
Lvl 29
-Wing Attack
-Focus Energy
-Swords Dance
-Agility
Tank 20 super effective hits (COMPLETE)
Tank 2 super effective hits in a row (COMPLETE)
Titan continues to be a beast, being able to 2HKO anything without a resistance to flying. Amazing speed, amazing attack, respectable defences, she's got it all. Shame she's not allowed more good coverage options….
Thirsty the Miltank
Lvl 29
-Body Slam
-Zen Headbutt
-Rollout
-Milk Drink
Solo one gym leader, using Milk Drink as many times as the leader has pokemon (IMCOMPLETE)
Whoah, I was kinda expecting it but Thirsty is incredible. Great bulk, speed and attack make her very capable, and the Milk Drink restriction doesn't worry me at all. She can decimate pretty much any opponent. She would make Whitney proud.
Triforce the Heracross
Lvl 29
-Headbutt
-Leer
-Counter
-Rock Tomb
Solo 25 flying types (COMPLETE)
Solo Morty (COMPLETE)
Triforce is starting to slip down the ranks, entirely because he doesn't have a STAB move to abuse. Still, his awesome attack stat makes up for it, and he has good defences and speed. Pretty decent all around.
Starter the Quilava
Lvl 29
-Flame Wheel
-Ember
-Headbutt
-Quick Attack
Solo Falkner or Bugsy (COMPLETE)
Solo Morty or Pryce (INCOMPLETE)
Solo all Rocket Executives in the Radio Tower (INCOMPLETE)
Solo Brock or Misty (IMCOMPLETE)
Solo Blaine or Blue (INCOMPLETE)
Starter was pretty meh this chapter, mostly because of the abundance of water-types he had to face. His attack stat tends to be pretty mediocre, even when he is able to use his STAB Flame Wheel, so yeah. However, I'm expecting a jump in usefulness soon.
DUMBO the Onix
Lvl 30
-Harden
-Dig
-Rock Polish
-Sandstorm
Solo Jasmine’s Steelix (INCOMPLETE)
Solo Lance (INCOMPLETE)
As with Starter, DUMBO wasn't very good due to the many water types in this chapter. However, she can tank special water attacks if she has to, under Sandstrom. I haven't used her since she got Rock Polish, but I'm expecting it to be highly inferior to Rock Throw, since she is already pretty fast. Pretty meh all around.
I'mADoctor the Hoothoot
Lvl 31
-Air Slash
-Roost
-Take Down
-Hypnosis
Solo Chuck (COMPLETE)
Solo and E4 member the first time (INCOMPLETE)
Solo a different E4 member the second time (INCOMPLETE)
Whoah, I'mADoctor completely surprised me this chapter. With the addition of instant healing in the form of Roost, and two powerful attacks in Air Slash and Take Down, I'mADoctor is now a serious threat to any opposing pokemon. She did really well against Chuck, and I'm expecting a huge rise in power after evolution.
