Chapter 1: THE BEGINNING
tldr; pretty smooth sailing for now, getting ready to get slammed by all the restrictions later on!
Well, its chapter 1, so not much is happening, but still gonna put in a progress update.
I choose my character, mash the A button a couple million times, and meet my new neighbors!
INTRODUCING *drum roll please*
Shauna and the backup dancers (only one of them can dance tho lol)
The male rival is so bland i can’t even recall his name off the top of my head. Calem? Caleb? He has the same lines as Selena most of the time, but somehow manages to make them even blaaaaaander. *yawn* where was i?
Ah right. Starters. Well none of the starters are scramblemons, so i grab Froakie for the heck of it (can’t remember if any of my mons can learn surf) and roflstomp Shauna.
Now that we’ve done that, I can go and pick up Explorer!
Timid nature eeuuuggghhhh well could be worse i guess could be something like Bold or Impish.
Route 2 and Santalune Forest are pretty uneventful, with the only scary part occurring when I forget about the trainer with the Pikachu. Sand attack hax ensure no risk of fainting.
Shauna: “I want to catch a Pikachu, but I can’t find any!”
>next two encounters are both Pikachu
Since Shauna has a bottomless bag of potions, we grind up Explorer a bit more, defeat all the trainers just in case we need to come back to grind wild pokemon later, then it’s on to Santalune City!
(Now i can finally deposit my Froakie and get into the real Scramble spirit)
(Yes Tierno I know how a pokemon center works)
Since route 22 is the only place to get a Litleo, lets go pick up Burniate!
know what? Imma wait until i get a male Litleo, because why not.
Jolly Nature. … … the price we pay for gender differences.
now both of my pokemon have +spe -meaningful atk stat
ANYHUE time to grind up Burniate a bit. but there are some surf trainers on route 22 so I can’t lead with Burniate. Back to santalune forest!
(10 years later)
meh, lets just go to the gym and grind a bit there.
Not much to say about the gym really, both Explorer and Burniate have SE STAB, so I just sorta facerolled everything, including Viola.
Next episode, we will get all the way to Grant, sometime along the way picking up Arthur, Wall, andohgod Insanity!
or somewhere along the way, gyms 1 and 2 are pretty far apart

Explorer (Pidgey)
Lv 17
Keen Eye
Timid Nature
-Tackle
-Sand Attack
-Gust
-Whirlwind
Well Explorer is pretty dang overleveled rn, due to first-pokemon-syndrome. Unfortunately, this will probably be a double-edged sword, since Explorer’s restriction will make it pretty hard to train up my other pokemon, and it will take a long time before she evolves (both evolutions will probably happen hear the 8th gym). But for now, face rolling is fun. Grant is gonna be a snap back to reality tho
Burniate (Litleo)
Lv 11
Unnerve
Jolly Nature
-Leer
-Ember
-Work Up
-
Burniate is probably going to be a very situational mon, coming in on anything that doesn’t beat fireand Lysandre. But what he is effective against, he burns down really quickly (pun totally intended). Work Up will probably be a permanent fixture for dealing with solos later. The Team Flare restriction will be fun, but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it
