Never Enough Pokémon Games! Let's Play Touhoumon World Link!

But of course~

I'm... not quite sure happened directly after my little... panic attack, but before I know it I'm in the Whatsit Town gym (I'm terrible with names! It's been a stressful day!) talking to my father.

Oh, dad! It was horrible! There are ledges everywhere in route 102, and thanks to that I lost one of my friends on my first day and had to get Kaime over here to kick this weird Vocaloid thing in the face and I can't even go back home because of all those led--

I... Wha?

Dad, are you even listening to m--


... Seriously, do you mind? I was having a heart-to-heart chat with my dad over he--

YOU ARE THE WORST DAD EVER ;A;


... Y'know what? Fine. Let's go back to Route 102. Dad's lent you his CKogasa, and most attacks from there are normal-type anyway....

Heh. Wouldn't it be funny if Wally's not-Ralts ends up being something like a Patchouli or someth--

WHAT.

Those aren't even supposed to show up in this area! WHAT SORCERY IS THIS

... No matter, the Kogasa looks strong enough, she should be able to handl--


WHAT.




B-but... You didn't even throw any Miko Orbs! I know I've been saying this over and over like a broken record player, but...

WHAT



....You know what? I've hit my "What" quota for the day. I'm going to do the one thing that's managed to solve all my problems one way or another.



TRIPLE KI--- waitno
I meant LEAVE.

LIKE A BOSS.


Sorry, can't talk. Too busy LEAVING like a BOSS.


We aren't leaving until we've caught or accidentally killed something!


YOU'LL DO.





NEW FRIEND.

Petalite sounds like a good name. Welcome to the team!

Hey guys, wouldn't it be funny if it turns out that Petalite's basically the same as Ka--


...

... I'm not going to ask where you got it from, but thank you for the Orb. C:

Before I go through my whole full-on training shtick, I have one more place I can visit:

Touka Woods BGM:





New friend! :DDD


You look like a Flonne to me. Let's go with that. Let's be friends~


You've only got Tackle and Sand-Attack so far, but once you get Ember I'm sure you'll be able to destroy things in your wake! :D

And is that for me? Thank you!

(Ha, it's pretty crazy how everything I've caught so far have gifts for me. )

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be dead to the world for a bit raising these babies into GOD(DESSE)S among (WO)MEN.

JSDFKLAJOASDUIOTSHASDTHASKL;THflonneissoadorableL;ASJDFIOJASDFKL;HJSADGJHSOUITASDJ;HL

It's ok, I'm a kicker and she uses her fists, we can make this work!

Taking a slight break from levelling to speed up the plot a bit!


True to Kaime's words, Petalite likes to settle things with her fists OF FURY.


Flonne has also learned how to set things on fire! :DDD


Kaime had to potential to learn a move that might've come in handy for the upcoming gym, but I suck at using the move effectively ... well, I suck at using it effectively.


Fishermen were challenged and beaten!

Went back to Touka Woods to fight against this guy.


With the exception of the last Bonéka, his entire party is what you can find in this place (the images are a tad out of order but hush, you):






And along the way we meet this guy!

And his good stalker friend!


... Who we have to beat up!


Now I'm starting to feel a bit guilty for fighting her. I mean, LOOK AT THAT GORGEOUS HAT

It can and will stare into your soul.

.....


Correction: I feel slight guilt, but it's not enough to stop me from asking Kaime to Triple Kick her in the face twice.

Whatsisface gives me a Great Ball Orb in thanks, and I head off on my merry way.

We're still in route 104, which means no new Bonéka in this route. :C

A socialite, calling himself "VeryRichBoy" Winston decided to challenge me to a fight offer me money in recognition of how awesome my Bonéka are. No, really. I totally did not just force some random stranger to give me money.


... Okay, so Petalite might have persuaded with her fists a bit, but it was non-lethal! Honest!

Moving on, I make awkward eye contact with a lass up ahead!


An Eirin, eh? Well, it's nothing a well-placed Karate Chop won't fix!

... Or not. Crap, she's a Poison-type. Luckily, those types aren't resistant to Flonne's Ember!


Forgot Eirins were Poison/Water crapcrapcrapcrap

Flonne, however, does not give a damn about things like type resistance and knocks out her opponent with another shot of ember.

The lass' next Bonéka is a grass-type, and goes down without any problems.

A brief stop to the Bonéka Center later, and we're back to challenge a pair of twins!

Both opponents are Grass-types.

... Flonne, have I ever mentioned how glad I am that you're a Fire-type? <3

And with that, we've reached Rustburo Kanazumi City! :D

Which means....

Whoops, wrong image. Hang on...


New route!

Route 115, however, is a bust, since I don't have the required key item/HM to explore it much.

I did get a Super Potion out of it, which is a plus.


Backup Route gooooo


You're adorable! LET'S BE FRIENDS :DDD


FRIEND GET.

Happy to be of service,master!
eee cute mon is cute,thank you! ;A;

Huh. It's only just occurred to me now that the iDollDex's measurements of the CYousei is really weird.
I'm guessing that the creator forgot/didn't bother to change the height and weight of whatever Pokémon s/he replaced. Judging by the measurements on this one, CYousei's supposed to have been an Onix.

They might not have had space, but she's DAIyousei for a reason!

I barely know anything about Touhou, but this looks cute. I'd like to be a Pokémon Bonéka~

I... I sorta want to volunteer for Daiyousei-samaaaa, but I'm holding out for a certain boneka.

I wanna be a pokemon.

I'm on it! (`･ω･´)ゞ


I probably should've asked this a while back, but do you folks have any particular requests? Like, in terms of elemental-type or specific things like whether or not they're wearing fancy hats?

Oho? Do tell. :D

If possible, I'd like to be a dark or fire type boneka! Preferably an evil/mischievous one! (well in pokemon I often ask to be a sneasel, so...) they're so cuuuuuuuuuuuute

CHEEEEEEEEEN~~~ Or one of the Yakumos of course~ I'd make a glorious Yukari, don't you think? Ohohohoho~~~

If I can request to be any particular youkai, then maybe Utsuho or Byakuren? Otherwise, I guess maybe a psychic type?

Byakuren isn't a youkai, shame on you.

She isn't? Huh, I thought becoming a Magician turned you into one.

Marisa is still human as well. Byakuren just chose to defend youkai out of kindness of heart. She's only considered against humans because she's a human who loves youkai.

I understand, but I was thinking that Byakky was more along the lines of Alice, whose species is Magician and is an ex-Human.

Nope. Plus, she was kinda sealed in the makai in suspended animation of a sort. Kinda hard to go ex-human when you're cut off from absolutely everything.

She also never disliked humans either, so she would have no reason to go ex-human in the first place.

I have no idea what anyone's talking about.

Oh, if I could make another request, could I also be a guy?

MALES? IN TOUHOU? WHAT WIZARDRY DO YOU SUGGEST?! No, you may not be a male, but surely we can find you a shemale. Those are socially acceptable. -nodnod-

IIRC, in these games every female species has a 12.5% chance of being a trap. And I don't particularly want to be Genji or Rinnosuke.

This update's a bit short, since I just got back from watching Skyrim Skyfall with a friend. Next one will (probably) contain more plot.



Welcome, Shii! The Grass-type moves that you are surely going to learn in a level or three are going to be a huge help for Roxanne! :D

Let's see what else I might have caught in this area...

A normal-type and another fighting-type Gatekeeper!

I have one more place to visit before I begin training again...

BGM:




I caught another new friend! I think I'll call her Becca!

You don't really have much going in terms of moves, but that's nothing an extended training montage can't fix!

As for the potential recruits I missed out on in the tunnel...



EDIT: Forgot one more!

Isn't Meiling also Dragon-type, though?

Actually, she doesn't become a dragon-type until she either evolves into her EX form (3rd evolution) or her Final form (which requires a Moon Stone).

k-waves LAB is fantastic, as is Green-eyed Jealousy. <3

These chibi Touhous are pretty cute, can't wait to see them evolve!

After an hour or so of training, here's how the team improved!
- Becca learned Lick and Smokescreen!
- Flonne learned how to burn things even further with Will o' Wisp!
- Shii learned Bullet Seed with the help of a TM I picked up somewhere!
- Kaimeanogo learned Metal Claw!
- Petalite... didn't really learn anything new! but who needs new moves when you have FISTS OF FURY

It's been a while since I've played Emerald, but if I recall correctly, Roxanne only has two Bonéka and the strongest one's level 14 or so...

This should be good enough. Shii, you're up first.

Alright everyone, LET'S DO THIS!

'Sup all! I'm here for your badge!



The youngster's first and last Bonéka goes down with a single Bullet Seed attack from Shii.

The next fight's a double battle!



With basically the same result as the previous fight!


Roxanne's up next. I have a good feeling about this fight.

-- blahblahblah. Look lady, I don't really care much for your backstory. COME AT ME, BRO

Gym Leader Battle BGM:


A CTenshi? Please! A Bullet Seed can take her down in a second!

See?


... Crap, it kinda feels like Roxanne's going to pull out something strong. Shii's pretty much a glass cannon, so...

Petalite! Get in there! You have the best defense out of the team, so whatever she throws at us, you should be able to handle i--

... Hisou Sword? What kind of move is th--

OH GOD NO

DODGE IT, PETALITE!

... Petalite?


... C-c'mon buddy, you gotta say something

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Not again...



... Shii, Bullet Seed.


Bullet Seed.

Bullet Seed.

BULLET SEED.

The gym leader's words don't really register in my head.

Seeing my lack of response, Roxanne gently places the badge and a Technical Machine into my palm.


........


"... I can see that you are too much in shock to hear the rest of my speech. I understand. If you wish, you may leave. For what it's worth, I apologize for your friend's death."

....


I hear shouts, but none of that matters to me at the moment.



Petalite, the Chibi Sara
Lv 5-14
I'm sorry, Petalite. I got too overconfident, and you paid the price. If it's any consolation, you died by a really awesome-sounding variant of a Hyper Beam

((On a slightly less in-character note, it's hard to find a quiet remix for Sara's theme. :C))

Petalite..

I was going to make a happy post on how awesome I look, but Petalite... how could they kill something so cute?!

I'm going to miss you, Petalite. You were a great sparring partner.

My reaction:
-Oh hey, I'm a grass type! Well that was unexpected--WAIT THIS MEANS I CAN KICK ROXANNE'S ASS AW YISS LET'S DO THIS
-Oh, okay I guess it's normal to let Petalite handle this one--
-Wait what is happening.
-...
-...P-Petalite? Buddy, asnwer me.
-...
-/rage-induced killing spree.

Can I be a mon?

@CCC: Of course~ It might take a while at the rate I'm going, but I'll definitely name one after you!

... Hm. How odd. The last thing I remember was that after the funeral, Roxanne's Tenshi gave me one of the peaches on her hat as an apology. She said they were of the highest quality or something along those lines, so I took a bite.

The next thing I know, most of the day's gone and there's an old man yelling into my ear about his stolen Bonéka.



The thief in question was willing to hand me back Peeko and some sort of parcel after some gentle encouragement from Shii.

I don't really have a use for the thing, so I suppose I'll just go ahead and sell i--

Oh. Right, the parcel. Here you go.

... Am I going to have to sic my team on you? Kaime's been wanting to test her new Metal Claw attack,,.


How did we suddenly get in this building?


Sure, I guess.

... Wait, what's in it for me, again?


Hi there.

That's nice and all, but all those places are pretty far away. Are you planning to help pay for travel expenses, or...?


Now we're talking!

How much are you offering? :D

.....




.... This is basically a regular cellphone with a few stickers poorly stuck on it.

Mr. Stone, did Professor Birch play any part in 'designing' your product?

I suppose a phone would come in handy one of these days...That damn skinflint.

I think someone mentioned something about a boat around route 104 or someth--

MARY! :DDD


What?

No, I just wanted to have a chat with y--



STOP JUDGING ME



... Fine! I'll fight you! I'm pretty sure you only have like, two Bonéka or something

BGM (Maribel, battle 2):



SHE'S SO CUTE AAAAA <3

ALSO FLAMMABLE

FLONNE, EMBER!

Good work!

Now, Mary's next Bonéka's a normal/flying-type, and between the two members of my team who aren't likely to go down in a hit or two, Becca's got the most health. Let's go!

... Damn. That Lovely Kiss is going to be a pain to deal with. Becca can take the hits like a champ, but her current attacks aren't really going to be much help here.

Flonne, switch in! Will o' Wisp should be helpful in this situa--

FFFFFF-

Just kidding! I've got Chesto berries for occasions like this!

That said, you're not looking too healthy right now. I'm pretty terrified to ask but Kaime, do you think you could take down that Gengetsu with your Metal Claw?

OHGOD WHY DID I THINK THAT WOULD WORK

KAIME NOOOOOOohwait


Kaimeanogo you are the best starter ever

For the time being, I'll have to use Becca to heal up Flonne.

(Sorry for using you like a meat shield; once you learn a decent attack things will change)

Finish it off with an Emb--

FFFFFFFFFF-

Ohright, it's not Lovely Kiss.

... Trying to confuse my team, are you?




You're damn right we are!


... That being said, there were waaay too many close shaves for me to be satisfied with how the battle turned out. Once we go to that new island, we're not challenging Brawly until all of your levels are at least in your mid-twenties.
