Chapter 6: Mind over Land Matter

So, I traveled into Saphron City, noticing that the Rockets were slowingly leaving. So I snuck into Silph Co, and battled every trainer and got every Item, Marine was there with his Vaporeon. I was getting worried, he wasn't going to evolve his Eevee, but low in behold he did. I beat his team with ease. No trouble at all. Just a bunch of Slashes from Sandslash, and a few Digs from Molder, but mostly Skully was the Star of this one. She even beat down Giovanni. At first, I was having trouble with her, she's wicked slow and always got a statues effect, but once her level got high enough I was able to do a little sweeping, mostly with Headbutt, since Bone Club missed so many times. She even beat down Giovanni for a while, but ended up dying and I had to finish him off with Dugtrio's Dig. I thought he was my hero, but he's just a ruthless villian who wants to take over the world.....Well, we can't have that. I want be the Pokemon Land Master, and he wants to rule the Pokemon, well we can't have two of us as Masters....

*wait where was I....I lost my train of thought*

Anyways....I moved on to the Fighting Dojo, they almost didn't let me in, cuz I had no Fighting Pokemon. But after I showed them I had some Fighting moves they let me. As I swept the trainers, I got to the Dojo Master, and he was no match for me, I gracialy excepted the Kicking Feind, Hitmonlee, and went about my way, healing up. And then going to fighting Sabrina. Battling all the trainers in there wasn't that hard, except the Slowpoke and Bro with Water Gun, I had a little trouble with them. Thank god for Hyper Potions. Then it was on with Sabrina, her Abra was no match for me. Then her Kadabra came in, and Critical Hit with Psychic my Skully. I brought my Sandy, and it used Psychic again, and my Special fell, thank god I had learned Earthquake I finished him off, quickly, then Alakazam came forward and did the same thing, killing my Sandy off. I then brought forward Molder, and with a few Dig's, and Recovers from Alakazam, I was the victor.

I then left with Gym with thoughts in my head, there only going to get harder, and I might need to trade up some Pokemon. But who would I give up? Who would be raplaced? How could I ever get rid of any of them. I was so confused and tired. I dealt with the Mimicing girl, she annoyed the heck out of me, but atleast I got my TM. Then I got the 3 TMs at the top of the Celadon Store. and went on the Fushia city battling all the bikers. and I took a rest as soon as I got to the Pokemon center.

Chapter 7: Let the Hunt Begin...

Aftering taking a good rest, I went straight to the Safari Zone, where I heard there was a legendary Rhyhon. Oh, I had dreamed about this, catching and evolving it too the Drill master Rhydon. His attack and defense strength, were no match for anyone. So, I went directly in, and saw a bunch of Nidorino, Nidoran, Exeggcute, and some Kangaskhan...for some reason I even saw the lonely Cubone and Wak, doing out out their tower, I had no idea...So, I wandered a little bit farther and came upon a Rhyhorn drinking some water. I found it funny, a Ground type near water, but I guess every living thing needs it.

So...while it was a drinking, I threw my pokeball, and hit it, but it didn't like that, and it escaped and turned to me and started charging at me. I ran for the life of me, and didn't know where to go. So I decided to just throw it again and caught it. Now, after that. I was a bit excited and out of breath, but I had to get the prize at the end of Zone, it was TM surf, now I could go to the Seafoam islands, and battle blaine too...

anyways and decided to go to the Pokemon center. Nurse Joy was watching my other Pokemon, and I told Sandy and Discharge to play nice, while I went to train with Donatello, yes. I knew this would be the one. He would be the greatest Ground type ever....well I left him out of his pokeball and first thing he did was tackle me. I was not impressed, I thought a Pokemon was suppose to listen to master. We went into battle, and all of a sudden, I tried to give Donatello an attack, but he only knew one...Horn Attack.....so after I bearly got away. I decided to get him some help. I gave him Dig and Rock Slide, now I could have some advantage and STABbed attacks...after doing some more training, I wondered into a patch of grass, and found a rare farfetch'd....now I'm a ground master, and I don't even like flying types, but this thing was a rare, so I caught it, and brought back to the Pokemon center...

I decided to test out Donatello and beat the whole gym with him. The trainers were done, they kept switch Pokemon. It didn't really help, since they were all weak Psychic, well weak to physical attacks, that is. So, that was fairly easy, I had to use a few potions, since Kadabra was fast and could use Psychic, but The only REAL problem I had was this one Venonat that Koga had and it kept doing this

Sleep Powder hits
Foe Rhyhorn is now asleep.
[POKEFLUTE] all sleeping pokemon are now awake
Sleep Powder hits
Foe Rhyhorn is now alseep.
[POKEFLUTE] all sleeping Pokemon are now awake

That went on and on, until it ran out of sleep powder. like 30 minutes, I was about to shut of the game. And if I swiched, it would just put all my Pokemon to sleep. So, basically, I had to wait till it missed, and it finally did and I was able to put it out of his misery.

I got out of their and went back to the Pokemon, and rested, I got some more training, then it's off to one of the Islands.

Chapter 8: The Burning Truth of a Ice Day

After beating Koga, I decided to drop by Pallet town and see mymother and Professor Oak. Anyways, she wasn't home, so I went to Oak's office and found her helping professor oak out. He said come in her boy, I found some interesting information about Ground types, there are a few who don't mind water. I looked at him like he was a crazy, and Discharge did too. No really. Okay explained I said. Well, so Ground types use special moves anyways, Maybe your Rhyhorn once it evolves can use the technique "SURF". So, I gave him a rare candy and evolved it right away. I told Rhydon to go into the water. It shook it's head and said no...I looked at Oak, and said,"See I don't have that Surfing Rhydon....maybe it just needs a little motivation...and you just can't expect it to jump into the water like that. It's gotta take to liking the water. So.....being a earth master I had no idea what to do. That's when I got the idea to jump in an swim around and maybe Rhydon will do the same. Amazingly, that worked, it was just that easy? I dunno. I think I'm getting lazy at story telling and need to find a new out look, and a muse...at that moment, Rhydon started swimming toards Cinnabar Island I jumped on him and went right way.....

After getting the Secret key in the Burning building, I decided to try out Rhydon's new ability, after getting a ton of revives and super potions. I traveled to Seafoam Island, battling a bunch of Water Pokemon, they only one I had trouble with was Dewgong who has Aurora Beam, at level 30 OHKOing several of my Pokemon. I evenutally, just captured all of them that I saw, and got to Articuno, if I was going to be a Ground master, I gotta take on Ice types...he was harder then I thought and was KOing Pokemon left and right, thank god for Molders Sand-Attack, Donatello's Rock Slide would OHKO it, so I didn't want to end it there. I just used Marowak's Seismic Toss, and ended up using a lot of Poke-balls...

On Cinnabar, my Pokemon's level was so high nobody could stop. I was just toying with Blaine in the end. My Rhydon used Surf on his Arcanine, for some fun action...now it's on the beat Giovanni for the 3rd and last time....

Chapter 9: The Land Champion VERSUS The Ground Guru

So, I flew up to Pewter City, and got the Amber and exchange into an Aerodactyl. I thought it would have been nice to have a Flying/Ground type, but you can only dream....after that I went to Viridian City Gym, and battle all the trainers and then it was off to the master with the money, the guru of gold, the land luxur. I brought forth his Dugtrio, and I had my Dugtrio out. Who was fast. well apparently, mine was apparently, because I used Earthquake and fainted it right away. Then it brough for Persian. I knew he was fast then me, so I switch to Donatello, and too his Pay day, coins scattered everywhere, and but Rhydon struck back with a Dig...I realiex I woudl just stay with him. Then there was a Nidorino, no challenge there. then NIdoqueen, used Earthquake and almost Killed my Rhydon. but I was fast and got in a win. I used some Super Potions and healed up, he brough for Nidoking and and he doble kicked me, good thing the power was low, I use Dug another hole and beat it. Then he brough forth his Rhydon. and I had mine. His Rhydpn had somm Fissure attack, but it missed thank god...Apparently, Giovanni was going to win no matter what. So I Brogh forth Sandslash, to finish it off, and one with one Earthquake, I had to switch, because I wanted the expereince...

Moving on after beating that gym, I ran into my rival. I healed up after my battle to get more PP for pokemon. He started with Sandslash and so did I. I used Swords Dance, and it used Slash. then I used Earthquake and killed it. THen he brought for Fearow to try and Mirror Move me, but it didn't do much to me, so I BOdy Slammed it and killed it in 2 hits.. Then he brough for Exeggcute, and I brough forth Dugtrio to start mimicing moves and whoops up on his team...I took Leech Seed for some reason and while he was charging up and did some major damage to Dugtrio. I decied Rhydon was neede for this again. After sevreal digs, I killed his Exeggucute. then he brough forth magneton and Dig just own his ass..then Kadabra came and I switched to Sandslash, in with a Critical Hit, killed him, and then I brought for Marowak to uses Seismic Toss, but he kept recovering. so Dugtrio came out and I used Slash and killed it in one hit. then Vaporeon can forward and used Mist, I switched to Rhydon and kill him in 3 hits with Earthquake...with it's hydro Pumps missing.

I barrleed through the badge check points. and then into the cave there was no more annoyances then exploding Geodudes and Gravelers and some Karate Chopping machokes...I was about to catch moltres, but I remembered, I had no balls too....

Chapter 10: The Land Champion takes the world

Loreli: I came in and swept her with my Sandy, one Swords Dance. I OHKO'd everything after that. But, I'll admit I kept loosing because she had Water attacks, and ground attacks were hurting me.

Bruno: Donatello, crushed every one of his Pokemon. Thank you Dig. Surf saved me against his Onix

Agatha: Molder, crused everybody with his Earthquake. I actually only had problems with Golbat, because he resisted the Earthquake.

Lance: I started with Sandslash, and Sword Danced once, then he used Hydro Pump and almost killed me, luckily I was faster and Hyper Beamed him. Then I Healed up. and switched to Marowak. and he killed everyone with his Blizzard attack. eventually I had to switch out, cuz I ran out of PP. and hadn to bring back Sandy.

Marine: he started with Sandslash, and I swords danced, and almost killed it, but it took 2 hits, cuz of it's defense. Alakazam was no match. then a Magneton, and Ninetales were killed in one hit. I used Digging Rhydon to beat Exeggutor, he had no Grass attacks, and missed it attacks with the going under ground faze. and it's Vaporeon, I just toyed with, but I could have OHKO'd it.

I am now the ground master. on to Mewtwo.

Chapter 11: The Underground

[DaBlackBandit]

Nice, I always liked Marowak. Ground is a cool type, but you don't have much variety in it eh?

I will don't worry, I got that planned out. First of all. I was going to get a Geodude, but they are a Rock/Ground type, so their first trait put me off of getting it. Then I could have gotten an Onix, but why would I want a weaker Golem? Then I thought about raising a Nidoran male or female, but I didn't want start like that, I wanted a pure Ground type. So technically the only 3 pure ground types are what I have. But I got something plan don't worry, you'll see a good variety.
