My lesson is "Shut up Georgia"

I don't know who Georgia is, but if your aim is to curbstomp someone, there are lots of paths to that. At this point, I would say that it depends on how you are setting the Hero(ine)'s personality, either as your standard Love and Peace or the Min Maxer.

Min Mixer?

Georgia

haven't named her yet I stuck at coming up with names. But she is actually a young trainer with an old soul skilled and wise beyond her years. She handles dragons like she was born on one. but since she's still physically young she has bursts of immaturity being a little short tempered.

Min-Maxer. It's a D&D term. Minimize your weaknesses, maximize your strengths. It's generally in poor taste. But yes, skimming that article, Georgia would definitely Min-Max.

Ah, but nevermind, your character is the rival to Georgia. Got it. So I'd imagine that someone who is in it to get the Shut Up, Georgia game would be one that would beat her while not getting dragged down to her level. So use the non-cheese path. Given that Georgia gripes if she gets beat by something that isn't a Dragon type, I'd make sure that you loaded up your dragons with at least one devastating fire move apiece, and possibly show some segments where you specifically train them to be not so weak to ice.

Very nice, very nice. It's an interesting perspective, showing from the POV of the Pokémon. That's definitely something that'd be beyond my ability to portray well.

latter Salamence hello Dragonite ?

Sombody made a case that I would have to cover water weakness and Dragonite is the only none legendary Dragon for the job.

I think most dragons learn some kind of electric move. Seems they like to dick with water types.

You would think that but you are wrong only great orange one.

Well, I'm not familiar with dragon types, really.

I've had Stardust ideas banging about in my head for days now, exacerbated by having stumbled across a repository of really awesome Pokémon Special-related videos on youtube, and I've got no real creative outlet for them at the moment since the laptop on which my active chapter of Stardust is contained is sort of dead. Maybe I should just skip ahead and write out that "interlude" scene that I was going to do anyway. It'd get some character development out of the way, especially since a good chunk of the protagonist squad needs to have their personalities introduced, and pave the way for the Cinnabar landing operation.

Salamence starts with thunder fang. Dragonite starts out with thunder punch, learns thunder wave at level 5 and can learn thunderbolt and thunder via tm. Hydreigon learns charge beam and thunder wave via tm and can inherit thunder fang as an egg move from either the bagon or ekans line. Druddigon learns charge beam via tm. Latias, latios and giratina can get charge beam, thunderbolt, thunder, and thunder wave from tms. Zekrom is part electric-type. Dialga, palkia, rayquaza and giratina all get thunder, thunderbolt and thunderwave from tms.

The only dragon-types that can't learn any electric moves are:

Axew line, swablu line, gible line, seadra line, trapinch line and reshiram.

That's against like fourteen other lines that do learn electric moves. I'd say most is an accurate qualifier.

a lot of them are legendary though.

Would it be plausible to have Meowth running loose on a ship or ferry, perhaps as natural mousers, after normal mice/rats?

I mean wild Meowth, of course.

Sounds fine to me. I'd be more worried about the existence of normal rats, really.

Yeah, that sounds like a pretty legit mundane application.

I thought so, too. Good to know, though.

Good to hear. Normally, I would be, too, but I'm using the Original series anime and the Electric Tale Of Pikachu as the basis for the setting. Normal animals appear to exist in both those worlds.

Also, I was considering switching my fanfic Trainer's Arbok for a Golem, but I'm not so sure now. The rest of her best team will consist of: Charizard, Vaporeon, Raichu, Meowth, and Gastly. I feel like something else should go there, instead of an Arbok like I'd originally planned, but what?

@Random Chaos: I'm not a fan of character revenge fics, anyway.

One of the stories I'm currently working on was originally planned as a counterargument to a fic plot I expected to become popular immediately after his episodes aired: that of taking down Tobias.

If you view him as a writer's copout who came from out of nowhere to prevent Ash from winning, I could see some of the logic behind the hatred. But judging by the memes that had been going around, it was obvious that too many viewers thought there was something wrong with the character himself. For the heinous crime of capturing a legendary Pokémon... and training it. (Curse that Brandon!)

But I couldn't do it without feeling preachy and bitter, so it's taken on a softer form that will hopefully flesh him out a bit and have him come to terms with both public opinion and whether or not he's becoming what the haters think he is.

...actually, both of my current works started from that concept. The other one's more indirect, along the lines of "if using a legendary in battle is so wrong, why do people have no problem using them in other things like the Pokéathlon?" (See the FAQ and its high score table, for instance.) This then led to wondering exactly how that kind of situation would happen in a logical universe, and who would go through with it, and it kinda turned into something else entirely.

I need to get back to those.

Just saying, I'd be interested in reading those when you're done. I've been thinking a bit myself about how he ended up with legendaries and so on, and I'd like to see someone else's thoughts on it, too.

I was thinking of writing a not serious story were a playful race between Ash and Misty somehow snowballs into a Pokémon racing event. if I include these ones or there evolved forms is Starme still the best Pokémon for Misty to ride or should I use Swampert? the Pokémon and trainer teams. I was thinking of are as follows.

• Ash Tauros
• Misty Starme or Swampert
• Brock Onix
• Tracy Mightyana
• May Venusaur
• Dawn Mamoswine
• Iris Galvantula
• Cilan Swasbuck

Starmie can levitate and carry her, so..

Well it's a land race.

Hence levitate and not fly. I separate levitation as different from flying in that levitation you can't get above a certain height, say ten feet or so. Still useful, if a little cheap, for a land race.

Ok then, still not shire about Iris's ride. But looking at there stats I think I made the best choice.

Dragon Buster would still mock her for using a bug type
