Ludwig's Pokémon Shining Pearl Adventure!

[Ludwig Von Koopa]

A treasure hunting trainer named Buck has joined us in Stark Mountain. He has a level 58 Claydol with Cosmic Power, Ancient Power, Earth Power, and Extrasensory [Power]. Claydol is fairly durable but offensively inept.

I CAN'T USE ROCK CLIMB BECAUSE I'M TRAVELING WITH BUCK.

I count... one... two places to Rock Climb. Both in the north. One leads to an item and the other to a cave? And then a third in the middle? A fourth to the west. Fifth to southwest.

A fighter and a dragon tamer are blocking my way to a hidden item in the north upon walking up to me to challenge me. <.<
So I... left so they reset their position and came back to get it. It was an Iron.

I wanna catch a wild Weezing but they keep Exploding or Mementoing.

We eventually got to the cavern at the end with the Magma Stone. Buck took it and left.
But at least now I can Rock Climb and catch Leeza the Calm Weezing♀ with a Quick Ball.

So I left Stark after picking up...everything, I think. At Route 201 while looking for the Doduo swarm I picked up Needy♂ the Careful Nidoran♂. Then I got Duet the Naive Doduo♀.

[Ludwig Von Koopa]

Oh, I need to also explore that Victory Road part that was blocked off.
I went to do so and met this girl named Marley trapped in the fog.

Frustratingly, I can't use Surf with her.

Marley has an Arcanine with Intimidate. Arcanine knows Burn Up, Howl, Helping Hand, and Leer.
THAT'S SO BAD.
WHAT IS SHE SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THAT? THAT'S NOT USEFUL.

Next to Bird Keeper Joe is a Surf-only hidden item.

I've had Anorith and Lileep in my party since Stark and they finally evolved at level 40.
Kabuto and Omanyte also evolved at level 40.

Fortunately, the escort was... really quick, so I can go back and Surf.

At the other side of the road is Route 224. I caught Gastra the Lonely Gastrodon♀... who is BLUE.
I Super Rodded Villaintina the Lax Luvdisc♀.

There's just a rock at the end. No big deal.

The Ramanas man was looking for a level 3 Pokémon, and Needy♂ fit. I got a Focus Sash!

Well, NOW I'm done with Sinnoh, maybe?

[Ludwig Von Koopa]

NOPE, THE DAY AFTER, THERE'S AN EVENT FOR ROUTE 224 'CAUSE NOW PROFESSOR OAK WANTS TO SEE ME WITH OAK'S LETTER.

But before I go there, I caught these Pokémon at the Grand Underground:

1. Dreide the Careful Baltoy
2. Peedrill the Quirky Weedle♂
3. Weath the Naughty Natu♂
4. Yena the Lax Poochyena♀

AND AND AND

I CAUGHT CRESSELIA WITH A MASTER BALL.

She's Brave-natured, which... is fitting for her personality but not good for battling.

[Ludwig Von Koopa]

I caught Trumpig the Relaxed Spoink♂ and Sponub the Impish Spoink♂.

Dreide evolved to Claydol. Peedrill evolved into Kakuna and then Beedrill. Yena evolved to Mightyena. Trumpig evolved to Grumpig. Weath evolved to Xatu.


I went back to Route 224 to find Professor Oak there and express my thanks to www.KoopaTV.org.
This created the Seabreak Path.

At the end I caught Shaymin with one Quick Ball. Sassy Shaymin.

When I went back to Route 224, Professor Oak was... gone.

I went to Mt. Coronet and evolved Jew to Probopass and MAGAnet to Magnezone.

I finally made and fed Charap Poffins to make her very Clever, and we went and won Master Rank.
COLA also became very Beautiful, and now she is a Master of Beauty.

[Ludwig Von Koopa]

I caught Skirt the Careful Surskit♀ at a Lake Verity swarm. (And I caught another Surskit too. A Relaxed one.)

I hatched a Mild Eevee and evolved him to a Glaceon.


I DECIDED TO HEAD BACK TO LAKE VALOR TO CATCH AZELF.

BUT THIS TIME I CAME PREPARED and brought Yena, a Dark type. Now Azelf can't damage me with its +6 Special Attack from Nasty Plots.

Eventually I caught Azelf, who is Bashful.
Skirt evolved into Masquerain and Needy♂ evolved into Nidorino because of that. (I then evolved him to Nidoking with a Moon Stone.)


At the Lakefront I defeated GAME FREAK Morimoto and got an Oval Charm, to increase egg hatching rates...somehow?

I caught Salad the Hasty Shelgon♂ in the Grand Underground. I also caught Jewife the Jolly Sableye♀. I caught Kookie the Lonely Krabby♀. And Rogé the Impish Tyrogue♂. And Woolooz♀ the Calm Mareep♀.


I went to the Snowpoint Temple and Candice let me in but all there was was a giant statue at the bottom. LAME.
So instead I went to Route 209 and caught a Gentle Spiritomb♂.

[Ludwig Von Koopa]

I caught Rug the Mild Meowth♀ at the Trophy Garden.

[Ludwig Von Koopa]

The Newmoon Island Darkrai event became available. After... KOing Darkrai twice, I caught it on my third battle. (It re-spawns if you KO it, leave the island, and come back to the inn.)

Darkrai is... Jolly.

Rug also evolved into Persian, and Woolooz to Flaaffy.

In the Grand Underground I caught Chin Chowder the Bold Chinchou♀ and Nate the Hardy Venonat♂. Plus, HIYAH the Rash Staryu, which evolved to Starmie with a Water Stone.
An Eevee also hatched. I evolved him into a Vaporeon. He's Lonely. I caught Enma the Lax Nidoran♀, and Sally evolved into Salamence.
Woolooz then evolved into an Ampharos.

[Ludwig Von Koopa]

I caught Warda the Careful Chansey in the Trophy Garden. She has Serene Grace.

[Ludwig Von Koopa]

I caught Mustar the Quiet Early Bird Ledian♂ in the Grand Underground.
I also caught Bragata the Quiet Shed Skin Dratini♀.

PLUS I caught Flan, the Quiet Corsola♀.

Best of all, I caught Antivax the Quiet Chimchar♂. He's "quick to flee" vaccine mandates. (Reference to www.koopatv.org/2021/06/two-vaccine-perspectives-nintendo-switch-2021.html )
