When we last left our honey of a heroine, she was about to take the Lighthouse Challenge again and leave Diana’s swimsuit to rot in the lobby.

She tries to chicken out a couple of times, but in the end, she keeps at it.

It doesn’t last long. After beating Greasemonkey Erikson, Honey leaves to head to the docks.

She isn’t really a ‘man’ at all, dude. Did you just assume her gender?

Speaking of hers, it’s time to challenge Budew Hair Chelle again.

Stream lag wouldn’t let us see which move MGM used first, but I’m fairly sure it was Cut. Bayleef countered it with a Reflect. As MGM kept Cutting, Bayleef used Poison Powder to posion him, Magical Leaf for super-effective damage, and Synthesis to regain health faster than our Dewott could deal it.

Inevitable faint.

It’s Hugbug time. While she’s underleveled, Magical Leaf barely does anything against her, and she Screeches like a… you know what? I just realized that I have no idea if bugs have anything that functions in any way like vocal chords.

The next turn, Bayleef uses Synthesis, and Hugbug uses Screech again. Bayleef tries another Magical Leaf, and Hugbug Screeches again, dropping Bayleef’s defense down as low as possible. Bayleef rather foolishly wastes a Synthesis, and Hugbug wastes a Screech.

“Wow! Not much happened this turn!”

Surprisingly, Hugbug’s Pursuit is not very effective on Bayleef. Probably it’s a Grass/Fairy type in Blazed Glazed. Despite this, Hugbug relentlessly continues to pursue it, even in the face of Magical Leafs, Synthesises, and a Reflect.

Eventually Hugbug goes down.

Battery Shroom is up next.

Bayleef uses Posion Powder, Battery uses Stun Spore. Pokemon are suffering from status conditions, one after the other.

Battery, in a stroke of mushroom-headed inanity, tries to use Stun Spore again. Bayleef uses an ineffective Magical Leaf, and his Reflect wears off. After another Stun Spore fail, Battery realizes that she’s not making any progress, and she switches out before she can be murdered.

Wait, when did the dog evolve? I think I missed the dog evolving.

Bayleef puts up another Reflect to replace the one that failed. BBC uses Snarl to report the news, which isn’t very effective and can’t take advantage of Screech, but at least lowers the Special Attack stat to nerf Bayleef’s magical leaves. Bayleef uses Magical Leaf, BBC uses Snarl, and Bayleef uses Poison Powder to weaken BBC.

Then this happens.

BBC keeps Snarling to weaken Magical Leaf. Bayleef’s Reflect wears off, and his Magical Leaf is getting progressively weaker, but he still manages to faint BBC thanks to the cumulative poison damage.

I’m not sure if the paralysis ever even actually affected this Bayleef, to be honest. Granted, the Stream was lagging so much that sometimes it was difficult to tell if Leaf Cena here ever moved, but still.

Next, of course, comes Honey’s ace: Sapping Turtle.

One overleveled crit Razor Leaf on a -6 Defense Bayleef, and Sap laughs at type disadvantages.

Next comes Raichu. Raichious.

It manages to get in a Quick Attack before death by Razor Leaf.

Her third Pokemon shows that she once again chose her team to be super-effective against the gym leader she was facing. In this case, Terry the Ground-type gym leader.

You can guess how well THAT went.

The lag wouldn’t show us what Chelle said immediately after losing, but this is what she said in the overworld:

What she says next is obscured by lag, but it seems as if the Gym Leader is absent for some reason and Honey has to go find her if she wants to challenge her. But clearly Chelle has already defeated her:

Since Honey didn’t catch why the third Gym Leader is missing, I expect she can only assume that the third Gym Leader got tired of Chelle’s attitude and went off to take a vacation.

What kind of a name is Stormy City, anyway?

And before Honey has any idea what just happened here:

Did you forget about her wormhole powers already? Man, I sure know I did. How careless of me.

To be continued…
