Let's play Pokémon Platinum. I mean, Crystal.

[Naem]

Is that Benny's blood? D8





"I gambled all my money away, lost my wife and became a hobo. Oh, and I guess this happened too..."



_{I always end up listening to somebody's life story at least once a week...}



Yeahthat'scoolbutI'msorryIreallyhavetogobye.

...Hmm, that story sounded a bit familiar... Oh well.



Before I check out the gym... Sightseeing! _{Am I losing my ability to string sentences together? Eh.}



Actually, I do.



Hmm, I guess I don't need that Bellsprout anyway.



Kyle was nice enough to throw a Bitter Berry in, too.



Rocky, huh? Rocky... Rocky... Oh!



And balance was restored to the world.



Sprout Tower... It sure sounds like an interesting place, but what if this is like... a haven for Bellsprout-worshipping cultists eager to attack me and steal my virgi- ARGH, IMAGES.

Anyway...



My team is at a bit of a disadvantage against Grass types. I'd better go look for some more Pokémon...



I have a good feeling about this patch of grass.



Ooh, a Fire type. Perfect.





My team might not look impressive right now, but at least it's quickly becoming the definition of adorable, if nothing else.



Well... He looks like a Kaphlar to me, even though I'm not sure what a Kaphlar is.



...I think this Pokédex is defective. It doesn't know where I caught Kaph.



And today's Thursday too, what a coincidence... Wait, do you only leave your house on Thursdays or something? That's a bit weird.



Okay, okay, I get the message, I'll shut up, you don't have to give me anything...



Uh, well... Thanks.



That would probably come in handy if I planned on using Rocky or Balboa.



Ohoho, ma'am, I'll take care of it right away! After all, I am a Pokémon trainer!



Is... Is this tree thrusting its crotch in my direction?

I guess it must be just my imagination, but it managed to deflate my ego anyway.



Uhh... Yes?



Well, no, I haven't battled him yet, but...



But I study a lot! Seriously! _Sometimes.



Will you stop spinning around, please? That's really creepy.



...No, thanks.



I have something more important to do... Training!



...Or catching a caterpillar. I dunno.



...Err... Maybe not, then.



I DID catch something else.



Poor Caterpie...



I now have a fox who knows how to blindly slam into his enemies at maximum speed.



Well, good enough. To Sprout Tower!



A moving pillar. That's... um... cool.



OH GOD I WAS RIGHT THERE ARE CULTISTS AFTER ALL



Nah, Nettles is just that awesome.



_squeak



Aww, I think it just wants a hug. Must be tough to get some love when you have no arms...



I'm keeping it... him around.



Th-That's just in self-defence, though, right?





Funny... I get the feeling I got that name from somewhere else. Oh well. Time to climb the tower and... Nngh... Gah...



...I had to. I think I'm OCD about my Pokémon's levels. _{I'm not touching Charlotte, though.}



The rest of the Sprout Tower might come tomorrow if you're lucky. Maybe I'll tackle the gym too, maybe not.

[Tené]

Nice update. Pity the surprise of Benadryl the Gastly was spoiled by the last one, but oh well.

[Naem]

I have other surprises up my sleeve, though. *cackle*

Surprises are awesome.


I LIKE SURPRISES

This made me laugh.

Everyone does.

Anyways, yeah. Balance was restored to the world.
And there will be good times.

Silly, silly human.

You see, psychic Pokémon don't rely on blood. Their insides are a hive of uni-cellular beings that feed off the air in the area and any energy that the pokémon may harness (In Benny's case, dreams), obviously, the more it breathes, the more alive it is. These beings mutate, reproduce and become active in the process. Some die, some regenerate, etc. When they feed, the create an electro-magnetic energy that produces outta them, which increase in power with minerals and, of course, breathing. If the Pokémon tries to use the energy, it goes through a process of kinesis that uses the brain's energy to turn the electro-magnetic energy into psychic energy. In conclusion, psychic pokémon have no blood.

While the others, however, they do.

So that's not Benny's blood, oh no.

It's Swineape's

Heh, love this update.

Psychic Pokémon don't bleed because blah blah blah

Uh...



Are you sure?






Maybe I should think about this first... Do I really want to give the cultists another chance to get me?



The answer is yes, because I want a move-teachy thing.



Wait, these stairs are doing DOWN. What if it's impossible to reach the top? What if this is just an elaborate trap? D8



Oh, these are going up. Never mind, then.



Wh-Why are you belly dancing?



MOVING ON



The Bellsprout are getting stronger. They were all level 3 before.



I guess that means I'm at the top. At least this is almost over...



Wait, does that mean my reward is... Flash? But... But Flash is terrible!



Well, it's too late to go back nooooh bugger.



"...change your name when you get the chance. I mean, Maggie? MAGGIE?"



"I don't blame you, though. I'd be an angry fellow too if I had a name like yours."



I-I wasn't laughing at you, I swear!



You lost to me... Well, I guess I don't babble about that. Not externally, anyway.



I was trying to imagine the reason why this rope would be here, and then my mind began to picture horrible acts of torture against myself and other innocent trainers who come here, so I just stuffed it into my bag and talked to the only cultist who didn't attack me as soon as he saw me.



_{That's a typical movie villain line. I'm scared.}



Really? Because that's not what it looks like. You're hiding something. I know it! Or maybe I'm just imagining it. I'm not sure. I mean, you let Maggie leave...



Ooooh. So you're like... testing my courage. Right. Well, I feel much better now.



Sage Li... Sage Li... Sagely? Sagely! Wow, your parents named you Li, almost like they knew you'd become a sage. Wait, maybe they did. Are you part of a long line of... _{Okay, okay, I get it, less talk, more action...}



I guess it wasn't very clever to start with Guts, huh?



That Bellsprout went down in one hit.



You can handle a Hoothoot, right?



...I guess not.



Since Nettles is weak against Flying Pokémon and Ben can't Lick Normal types...



I guess Hoothoot's Special Defence is pretty high. I wonder my teachers ever mentioned this...



Ah, I'll be fine. Kaph can take a Bellsprout down with a single Ember, right?



Right. *dances*



So it IS Flash...



So far, I have learned that even when you overcome your fears of being tortured and killed by insane cultists, your reward will feel small and meaningless.



An awful Pokémon gets to learn an awful move. :T



Awful or not, I'll probably need it... And that means I have to beat Falkner. Onwards!



Ah, you know what? I've beaten Falkner already and uploaded all the screenshots too, but I decided to end this in a cliffhanger because a) I'm mean like that and b) I figured I'm keeping things more organised this way. I'll probably post the second half of the update tomorrow.

[Sergeant Dull]

A cool and funny update there

And BennyGastly looks cute

[dynamicsonic]

Uh...



Are you sure?

Nah, I just got high.


Nah, JK. That Ghost Benny drawing is cute and cool.

Oh, and that cliffhanger needs something like
"What will happen to our hero? Will FE upload tomorrow!? And will Vegeta survive this one!? Don't miss the next action packed episode of...

...POKéMON CRYSTAL Z!!" *shot*

[Sergeant Dull]

Don't dis Dragonball Z dude.

Seriously. Just don't.

Inevitably, whenever I tried to get into Dragonball Z, I'd ALWAYS miss the next episode and I'd have no idea what was going on. All I would know is, there be dragonballs and somebody is either going super or turning into a monkey. This is also the reason I don't read comic books, manga, or watch soap operas....


That I'd miss the next episode, not because people turn into monkeys in soap operas.

Are you basically saying psychic pokemon have midichlorians?

(Like the update. So I take it Charlotte is going to become your HM mule?)
