Once again, fresh air, beautiful sunshine, and route 4 lies before us!
Nya:
◊ Who're these guys, over here?
They look like some kind of martial artists. Each of them is offering a different move...huh. This is new.
So our options are these:
- Mega Kick has become Triple Kick, a dream type move that works just like the actual triple kick. Three succesive hits, each stronger than the last. 10, 20, and then 30 power. Nice.
- Mega Punch is now Comet Punch. Its also dream type, and is a 25 power 2-5 hit move.
It appears that all of you can learn these. Soooo...Nya, you take Comet Punch. And Leif, you learn Triple Kick.
Nya:◊ Ooooh my. :3 She slashes at the air.
Leif:
◊ Useful. Thank you for this.
We're in a new route, and that means a new catch! Our first find in the grass is...
Chibi Kogasa! I've never used one before, so this should be interesting. She's a pure ghost type, and as I recall, in AW/WL, she was bulky, with a lot of move variety. I'll name her Linessa, after a ghost girl in a story of mine.
Linessa:
◊ Its good to meet you. She floats several feet above the ground, looking intrigued by the party of Boneka trailing behind me. I have a gift for you.
What's this? Another green UFO? Um-why thank you! I still have no idea what to do with these.
Etta:
◊ Why does she get intimidate?
Mura:
◊ She's a floating ghost girl with a living parasol, and there's a giant tongue sticking out of it. Wouldn't YOU find that intimidating?
Lets take a look at this girl.
- Kogasa: That's not what I expected.
I balked at those defenses at first glance, and then I took a second glance at that HP pool. Holy CRAP. She has an impressive movepool too. Icy wind, twister, bubblebeam, shadowball, something called shadow dive. Oh, and curse. Too bad she's ghost type, and that losing half her HP is a very bad thing for her.
Linessa:◊ I may do everything in this form. I will take blows, and defeat every enemy set before me.
- Speed Kogasa: Speed whut?
A special sweeper, I guess? I don't even know. Higher defenses, but that HP is almost cut in half. No thanks. Shadow ball again, ominous wind-what fun! Destiny Bond, and something called aqua shower. Nothing else of major note.
Linessa:◊ I like not the idea of losing much of my bulk.
- Technician Kogasa: I still don't know what this means.
Its a more balanced form of Kogasa, spreading its stats around. Still bulky hp, bulkier defenses...but little attacking power. Her attack pool is very similar to SKogasa. Memento instead of Destiny Bond, that's about it.
Linessa:◊ This is a better possibility than the last. I shall have to think on this.
Agreed. I have no idea what form I'll choose, but I'm going to use you regardless. I'll switch you out for one of my beasts.
In Cerulean, there's a trade being offered here. Your cMarisa, for their Kirisame. Kirisame doesn't appear to evolve, has very high special attack, nice special-based moveset. Personally, I'd still stick with the Marisa though.
All right guys and gals. I'm feeling a bit impatient today, so..I've gotten Linessa up to level 17, and that's all I'm good for. Lets deal with that rival battle now, so I can get the next two routes catches.
I...I should have trained more. A lot more. Oh God.
Linessa:◊ See? That was not...not so difficult. She shudders in pain.
Linessa, get back here. You're too injured. And I'm so much of an idiot, I didn't think to buy any super potions. I am so screwed.
A beast type, huh?
Oh, pfff. That's no problem. Its probably going to be something stu-
OH SHIT NO. THAT'S THIS GAME'S HYPERBEAM ISN'T IT?!
OH GOD NO KISH I'M SO SORRY.
...
...
...
...
Kish:
◊ What're you carrying on about?
Why is Kish only at half health? I...I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Well shit. Normally I'd go with Linessa, but she's so injured...that's no good. Etta, you've got an ice attack, right?
Etta:◊ That is correct, m'lady.
Then take her down.
Excellent! She's below half health! One more hit and she goes down!
Oh. Well crap. I...I don't have awakenings. ETTA! C'MON! WAKE UP!
...
ETTA!
Etta:◊ Zzzzz...Hwuh?
Excellent! That brings her down to just one Boneka! This isn't going too badly, is it?
...nevermind what I just said. I still don't have something that's super effec-wait. Isn't...isn't heart weak to dream?
I accidentally gave myself a type advantage. AWESOME.
Oh crap. Nya, hang in there! Work through it!
Nya:◊ N-nya...I will...do my best...
NYA! One more hit would have killed it!
Nya:◊ I-I'm sorry! I can't even see straight...
Oh Nya...I'm sorry. Just make it through her next attack, and we'll be fine.
What is...that? OH CRAP. Nya is down to 13/46 health! Uhhhh. Nya. Get your butt back here. Now.
Oh for-she's down to 19/48 in one hit! TANK TIME. Acadia! Help us!
She's down to 27/48 in one hit. That's only slightly more than half her health. This is NOT good. I have no undamaged party members, and this Reisen is hitting like a truck.
My choices are these: Send out a sacrifice, so that I can have a quick member like Nya take this bitch of a Boneka out in one go, or take my chances that Acadia will survive another attack. I'm going for the latter. If she dies, I'll have Nya finish her off anyway.
Acadia:
◊ I can do this, Mistress. Believe in me.
SHIT. Acadia! Pull yourself together! Or in your bucket! Or whatever it is that you do!
ACADIA! Acadia, I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry, I had to, I really did-
W-what! Acadia! Your-your still alive!?
Acadia:◊ N-never underestimate the little ones...
Oh my god. Three health. You are amazing.
Acadia. I think I love you.
Also, ALL OF MY CREYS, HOW DID WE EVEN WIN THAT.
HAVE A SCREENSHOT OF MY BRUISED AND BATTERED
◊ TEAM.
- Number one: I will never underlevel this badly again, I swear to it.
- Never two: I WILL NEVER UNDERESTIMATE ACADIA AGAN. Dear Lord, she is such a sis. Acadia, have a title. Your title is now Sis.
Next Time: Captures, so many captures. And I grind! For really reals this time!
