Bug Day 1: Such Training, Many Targets

Current location: Saved in Camphier Town and have the First Half All-Stars assembled.

Nincada - Jolly - Scratch, Fury Swipes, Leech Life, Sand Attack (L14)
Venipede "Sasuke" - Lonely, Swarm - Pursuit, Rollout, Poison Sting, Screech (L16)
Vivillion - Hasty, Compound Eyes - Struggle Bug, Psybeam, Stun Spore, Tackle (L17)
Butterfree - Bashful - Struggle Bug, Gust, Confusion, Sleep Powder (L17)
Beedrill - Gentle - Twinneedle, Poison Sting, Fury Attack, Thief (L17)

The run began with Fennekin, who lasted long enough to let me catch Fletchling (for Fly) and Scatterbug and Weedle on Route 2. From there, it was Super Training. And lots of it. Two hours worth. This is why I may or may not have hacked in BW-era runs. Santalune Forest brought Caterpie, another round of ST, a Panpour (general HM mulery) and a Pikachu... with the Light Ball. Going to have to find a way to store that so I don't bloody kill myself in Electric looking for another one.

Because Scatterbug's evo levels are offset from Weedle and Caterpie, it took a little bit of extra work before I could finish assembling the party. In the end, I faced Viola with the group at 11 except for the newly promoted Vivillion, and all three current members got the experience as it took a couple of Poison Stings and Confusions to wear down her Vivi to the point that a Tackle ended up finishing the job.

Not much to report on 4, in Lumoise and on 5, but Route 6 brought Sasuke (after my attempt to name him after Princess Mononoke's prince, Ashitaka, got rejected due to the Scunthorpe Problem) and Nincada. I thought about keeping the Ninjask but have decided I'm just going to stick with Shedinja since Ninjask can't do jack to a Rock gym.

And yes, bringing two members on meant more Super Training. I'll probably have to do some tomorrow as well, as the plan is to at least make it to Dwebble. That means finishing Route 6 and pretty much the whole rest of the complex. There's an outside shot at finding Yanma, as well, at which point I'll probably curb Butterfree as a 98% Stun Spore is fine too (and Vivillion learns Draining Kiss naturally, which is the first and last Fairy move I'll have.)
