Okay, so I begin the first part with a female trainer named Ann, and manage to finish the part in a close to straightforward manner.
The Lithium Rogue’s Journey Attempt #1: Ann
Part 1-1:
I change out of my pajamas, talk to mother, and meet Calem and Shauna. I head to Route 1, and go north to Aquacorde town. I decide as Lady A as the nickname, get Chespin as the starter, and get the Pokedex and Prof’s Letter. I then battle Shauna and use Vine Whip twice against her Froakie. Since Chespin got Growled twice, it took a third Vine Whip to win the battle.
I return to Vaniville Town, talk to mom, and get the Town Map. I then return to Aquacorde Town by using Route 1, and head to Route 2. I flee the scripted encounter, then partake in the catching tutorial. After getting the Poke Balls, I battle Youngster Austin and use Vine Whip three times against his Zigzagoon. I then enter Santalune Forest.
I get a Potion and also get a Paralyze Heal from Shauna. I go around the upward path before going through the grass, where I encounter and KO a Kakuna and a Pansear, learning Rollout in the process. Once I catch up with Calem, I have Shauna heal my Chespin and battle Lass Anna. I use Vine Whip twice against Lass Anna’s Pikachu, the second attack failing twice before connecting due to a Thundershock paralyzing it. After having Shauna heal my Chespin again, I encounter and run from a Weedle and exit the forest.
I get the Adventure Rules and luckily run into a Bunnelby on the way that use to dodge the first two trainers. I try to catch it by using two Poke Balls, but fail to do so. I use a Tackle once, and then successfully catch it after using a third Poke Ball. I then head to Santalune City, where I talk to the hiker to trade Bunnelby for his Farfetch’d, and move it to the front of the team. I go to the gym, say “Yes” to Rinka, and battle her. I use Aerial Ace twice against her Zigzagoon to win the battle. I get the Roller Skates, and enter the gym. I follow the dew drops on the web, and battle Lass Charlotte. I use an Aerial Ace each to deal with her Kakuna and Combee. I then begin the Leader Viola fight, and use Aerial Ace to deal with her Surskit. Finally, I use Aerial Ace twice to KO her Vivillon and teach Farfetch’d Knock Off over Fury Attack. I get the Bug Badge and TM83, and end the part with pride.
Below is my plan to finish the second part and get the Cliff Badge:
Part 2 Plan:
Satalune City, Route 4, Lumiose City:
Go to the Trainers’ School and get 3 X Attacks and 3 X Defenses from the gentleman. Head towards Route 4 and talk to Alexa and get the Exp Share. Go to Route 4. Skate up-left to the gap in the middle of the left hedge to grab a Repel. Try to dodge the skaters, and take the left path through the flowers to dodge the girl. Talk to the professor’s assistants, and agree to visit the professor. Get TM27, and head to Lumiose City. Heal at the Pokémon Center, go to the lab, and head to the second floor. Talk to the scientist to get 5 Luxury Balls. Go to the third floor and battle Sycamore. Use Aerial Ace against his Bulbasaur, then use a Fury Cutter if it survives. Then use Aerial Ace three times on his Squirtle, and Aerial Ace twice against his Charmander. Choose Squirtle from the starters, and head to the Pokémon Center. Deposit Chespin and Squirtle, and sell all Poke Balls, 3 X Defenses, and at least 2 Luxury Balls. Buy the Swords Dance TM. Go to Cafe Soleil and partake in the cutscene. Then head to Route 5.
Route 5:
Talk to Korrina, and teach Farfetch’d Swords Dance over Fury Cutter. Fight Tierno. Use Leer, Swords Dance, and then Aerial Ace to KO his Corphish. Go along the left wall to avoid the runner. After going up the stairs, dip into the purple flowers to avoid the rising star. Try to avoid the running trainers, and head to Camphrier Town.
Camphrier Town, Route 7, Route 6, Parfum Palace, Route 7:
Get the Star Piece and Ether. Heal at the Pokémon Center. Sell the Star Piece and Honey. Buy 4 Repels, 5 Super Potions, 1 Antidote, 1 Paralyze Heal, and 2 Awakenings. Go to the castle for the cutscene. Talk to the red head for a Berry Juice. Go into the nearby house and talk to the maid to get a Sweet Heart. Go to Route 7 to trigger the Snorlax cutscene, then head to Route 6. Swerve behind the first trainer, and try to avoid the second trainer. Head to Parfum Palace, and go to the garden behind the mansion to the north-west hedge section. Solve the puzzle, leave the hedge section and go right to pick up a Rare Candy hidden at the top of the fountain. Return to the palace and up the left stairs to the balcony and partake in the cutscenes. Enter the first available door, see the fireworks, and remind Shauna about the Poke Flute. Return to the Snorlax after getting the Poke Flute and TM17. Wake up the Snorlax, and run from it. Head west and partake in the daycare cutscene. Continue west, partake in the Trevor cutscene, and equip the Berry Juice. Heal Farfetch’d, and start the battle with Trevor and Tierno. Use Swords Dance on Turn 1. If no damage was dealt to Farfetch’d, use Swords Dance again, and use Aerial Ace twice on Tierno’s Corphish. Otherwise just use Aerial Ace twice on Tierno’s Corphish. If the Corphish reaches the red health range, use Knock Off to finish it off. Use Knock Off twice on Trevor’s Pikachu, and Aerial Ace on Trevor’s Flabebe. Use Super Potions if needed, and heal paralysis only if Corphish is still active. Get the PP Up hidden in the flowers, and go left in to the south entrance of Connecting Cave. Heal using the Scientist, and enter Route 8.
Route 8, Ambrette Town, Route 9, Glittering Cave:
After the cutscene, get an HP up, and run diagonally around the rising star. Enter from the left side when the rocks are reached. Head to Ambrette Town, and heal at the Pokémon Center. Go to the lab and say yes to the Scientist. Head to Route 9, KO any encounters, and take a free heal from the lady outside Glittering Cave. Go straight through the cave, take the third branching path, and pick up the Shadow Claw TM. Fight the first Flare Grunt, and use Swords Dance. Then use an Aerial Ace each on the first Flare Grunt’s Houndour and Zubat. Heal up if Farfetch’d is below 25 HP. Fight the second Flare Grunt and use Swords Dance twice. Use an Awakening if Farfetched is put to sleep in the process, and use Aerial Ace on the second Flare Grunt’s Gulpin. Then use Knock Off on the second Flare Grunt’s Electrike. Heal to full, avoid shadows, and join Calem for the double fight. Use Swords Dance on the first turn, and use Aerial Ace on the Flare Grunts’ Scraggy. Then use Aerial Ace on the Flare Grunts’ Croagunk. After winning the battle, get the Escape Rope. Find the scientist, and get the Jaw Fossil. Use the Escape Rope, heal using the lady outside, and return to Ambrette town using Route 9.
Ambrette Town, Route 8, Cyllage City, Route 10, Cyllage City:
Get the Rock Smash TM from the brunette southwest of the Pokemon Center, and heal at the Pokemon Center if needed. Then go through the aquarium. Head to the beach and get a hidden Rare Candy. Get the Dowsing Machine and dodge the right-facing swimmer. Enter Cyllage City. Get a bike and register it. Buy 12 Soda Pops, get the hidden X Speed, and head northwest to Route 10. Look for a Hawlucha, use Aerial Ace to weaken it, and Throw Luxury Balls at it to catch it. Have Farfetch’d forego learning Slash when it reaches level 19. Move the caught Hawlucha upfront. If it is level 19, use Two Rare Candies, and have it learn encore. Make a note of its stats at level 20, as well as its speed in level 21. Then Teach Hawlucha Swords Dance. If Hawlucha is level 20 initially, take a note of its stats, teach it Swords Dance and Rock Smash, and use the two Rare Candies on it. In any case, return to Cyllage City and heal at the Pokémon Center. Give Hawlucha a massage, and then move Farfetch’d back to the front of the party. Then enter the gym. Begin the battle with Leader Grant, and use Leer against his Amaura until Farfetch’d faints. Then use Karate Chop or Rock Smash to KO the Amaura. If Hawlucha is level 21, then use Swords Dance twice and then a Karate Chop on his Tyrunt. If Hawlucha is level 22, then use Swords Dance, and use Rock Smash twice to KO the Tyrunt. If Hawlucha is hit by Rock Tomb twice in the process, then heal up before dealing the finishing blow. Get the Cliff Badge and TM39.
This part is long, but doable. However, a lot of things can go wrong here, especially in the double battles. My Pokémon currently consist of a level 13 Farfetch’d, and a level 9 Chespin. I will have a report hopefully by next week.
