And here we are, beginnin' the great Litleo Challenge!

[That's... sure Joker. That's sure Joker literally covered in Litleo- five for anyone who's counting- standing on what some might recognize as the ferry to Kanto. There's a Charizard in the background who's looking amused. Listen, he needed a flier to get him to New Bark.]

I've already done the gyms 'round Johto, see, and I thought I'd do somethin' more excitin' for goin' ta Kanto for the first time! So, what I'm gonna do is use nothin' but this group a Litleo! This here is Rose Red, this is Elsie, then ya got Biancabella, Florine, Nen, and- well Dovre ain't with us right now since I had ta use Torch here ta get us ta New Bark, and she'd bite my hand clear off too, but she'll be joinin' us once we get ta Kanto!

And a course, we're accompanied by good ol' Jimmy Two-Shoes here- [The Gear is twisted off to show the kid in question.] Wave hello, Jims!

For anyone who goes ta the Circus, Angel and Invidia are watching over it, save for the days when I'll be stoppin' in the cities. First time me and her will be so apart, s'gonna worry us both...

So that's that! Wish me luck~.

Good luck, Joker! I'm sure your little team will do big things!

Video

[pipers_son]

Thank ya kindly! The tiny ones pack the biggest punch, isn't that the sayin' that goes around?

Video

[veggie_vamp]

That's right! I'm the smallest of my ghoulfriends, but I've got strengths too!

Video

[pipers_son]

I bet ya do! Ya seem like the best kinda person ta have as a friend.

What are yer friends like? I can keep an eye out for 'em if they ever show up.

Video

[veggie_vamp]

Oh, it would be wonderful it any of them showed up! They'd love it here!

There's Frankie Stein, she's always putting me in stitches! Clawdeen Wolf, she always looks out for me, even when I date her brother, Clawd! Lagoona would have a splash! Cleo De Nile might have some issues with the whole traveling thing, but she'll keep it under wraps... hopefully. And Ghoulia is always the life of the party!

[paladinlost]

...Will you be battling the regular or the elite teams?

[Because if it's the second one, wishing for luck won't be nearly enough.]

[video]

[pipers_son]

Regular. I ain't completely off my rocker, mate.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Thank goodness. That would not have ended well.

[Would have been interesting to watch though.]

Will you be challenging the Gyms by following their levels, or their location? Viridian can be... surprising, for the unprepared.

[video]

[pipers_son]

Well, I thought we'd go the traditional route. Looked up the proper order for the badges and all that. So, that's what we'll do.

'Course, that means we're gonna have ta go against rock and water right first thing... Ha ha, but I'm doin' this for a challenge, so I can't complain!

[video]

[paladinlost]

If your team can survive those two Gyms, they can survive anything else. Though I must say I now feel terrible for poor Erika; her team has no chance of winning, unless you decide to lose on purpose.

_{[Molly kind of has to laugh, because ... well, omg. Have a wave at the feed, guys.]}

Good luck!

You're really gonna need it for the Water gym.

_{[Which she says with a good natured smile, no worries.]}

[video]

[pipers_son]

Hey, the challenge'll be half the fun! It gets borin' if ya just blaze through all of 'em, right?

[At least, that's the sentiment he's heard time after time.]

[video]

[walkersystem]

_{[... snerk. Blaze through them, really?]}

Haha, sure.

You should tell us how it goes. Where are you gonna start?

[video]

[pipers_son]

[Thank you, he'll be here all week]

Well, from what I hear, Pewter is technically the start a things. 'Course, that'll make it a right pain, but that's the fun a it. Then ta... Cerulean, think it is. There'll be a bit a loopin', but that's fine.

[video]

[walkersystem]

You should use items or something. They help sometimes.

[Action]

[awesmazings]

[Once the feed ends and Joker's done answering the well wishers (or not), Jimmy speaks up from where he's busily adjusting the pokeballs on his belt.]

I hope you don't mind, Joker, but I'm thinkin' I might try to pick up a badge or two while we're gone, too! I mean, I haven't gotten 'em all in Johto yet, but having some is better than none, right?

But I'll wait 'till after your Litleo clean up, of course.

[pipers_son]

Hey, the more, the merrier!

[Like Joker would ever be bothered. He keeps talking as he casually pries the Litleo off of him.]

Do ya know which ones ya would like ta try out?

[awesmazings]

Mmm...I dunno! I don't actually have any Kanto badges yet, but I'm guessin' the earlier gyms will probably be easy for me anyway? Since I've got so many Pokemon now that I could take into battle.

[pipers_son]

Ya know, I actually heard somethin' interestin' about the first gym we're likely ta run inta, although I don't plan on taking it on just yet. I don't get why, but the order is all jumbled up- Viridian is the first city with a gym we'll run inta, but, conventional like, that's actually the last and strongest gym ta go against.

[awesmazings]

Wait, really? Why would they do it like that? What if somebody decided they wanted to do the Kanto gyms first and their Pokemon weren't strong enough yet? That doesn't really seem fair...

Video

[bent_the_world]

Wow, you must have been doing some serious training for a long time...

Video

[pipers_son]

Ha ha, I wouldn't say that! They've been trained less than some a my others, honestly. But we all know each other well enough, now, don't we BB?

[One of the Litleo meows.]

So we'll work fine enough, I think. You'd be amazed at how much teamwork and communication counts in this sorta things instead a brute strength or the like.

Video

[bent_the_world]

If you already beat all those Gyms...

I haven't even beaten one! Or even tried. Because I am no where close to being that good yet. Yet.

But I get what you mean. Your pokemon are your friends, you gotta treat'em like it!

Video

[pipers_son]

Ha, even then, can't take all the credit, can I?

Ya should meet my lot in Goldenrod, if ya ever stick around there. They're the ones who did all the heavy liftin'. Ya ever meet Mime Jr or a Zoroark?

Video

[bent_the_world]

Still! A team's only as good as it's trainer.

I haven't really spent any time in Goldenrod yet. I had friends in Ecruteak, so I just got here as fast as I could. And I've met a Zoroark, but not a Mime...
