Epic??? Hmm, I'd only agree about that with メタグロス,... (I love me a Quad-tank Pokemon!)
Kinda wish I could face 'im with my SoulSilver team now... T_T I'd lay waste to his entire group easy now... I creamed Lance's group with solid OHKO's for all except his ギャラドス (who came out first), and that was only because I used the first turns to Calm Mind-boost my サーナイト! For cryin' out loud, my バクフーン didn't even get INTO that fight... just Psychic! KO. Psychic! KO. Psychic. KO. Psychic... KO. repeat. repeat... I'm the champion! YAY!
Nah, what I'd like to see is this kinda thing, just with Red on Mt. Silver. Heck, his team is ALREADY epic, as far as NPC standards go! I had to use a couple of Lv. 100's I'd previously raised and trained earlier... (I had a サーナイト because I had traded a lv. 5 ラルトス over as soon as I could after starting with ヒノアラシ. Those two carried me to the end of the whole game all on their own. With the exception of my two HM-carriers, who literally carried my around and did nothing else, mwa ha ha ha!
Yep, I needed a brag moment. I can hear the flamers coming... ah, sweet glory of being awesome... ^_^
Ah well. When I first faced Steven, I thought he was pretty tough, even though I had my trusty バシャーモ and サーナイト... (I caught her as soon as I'd helped out Wally and saw that li'l cutey he got... FOR FREE!!! IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO GET ONE!!! But, oh, it was SO worth it... Now I work hard to raise Shiny ラルトス to raise into mighty Shiny サーナイト... talk about a lot of work... but worth it.
