After losing to Chelle, our honey of a heroine decided to head back to the lighthouse to grind.

Will she succeed in the Lighthouse Challenge?



The first try, she made it all the way to the fourth challenger’s last Pokemon before the poison did Sapping Turtle in, before Roselia could even make a move.

But it’s what happened at the third challenger that was interesting.

PLEASE NO Bs PLEASE NO Bs PLEASE NO Bs –

SNEKCESS!

The second time around, this happens to MGM.

The slots were extra cheerful that day.

MGM forgot Focus Energy for Revenge.

This round, Sapping Turtle managed to kill Roselia, with Hugbug and Battery Shroom also still conscious.

Three for three!

Now let’s see who’s next up on this challenge.

All right, Frost Lass.

We manage to beat her, but only Sapping Turtle is left standing. Also, her hair and outfit totally changed color when we started to battle her.

This next guy’s text is “It’s been a long time since I’ve had a challenger. Prepare to be burned!” I couldn’t quite screencap it because it went by too fast.

We manage to beat him. Once again, the battle sprite looks completely different than the overworld sprite, and the sad part is, it’s entirely unedited from the HeartGold/SoulSilver Firebreather sprite.

And this is why that’s a problem:

The fashion police called, Phil. You’ve been reported for arson. Your shirt is open, you forgot to zip, and I don’t know what you’re smoking to make you think that Magmar is a costume and not a culture.

Sapping Turtle beats him up anyway.

“Where,” you silly Hiker. “Where.”



Okay, Alpinist is slightly different than Hiker, but still. At least the incrongruities here are subtle. (We successfully defeat him.)

The final battle is against a guy who thinks the Fighting type is the greatest type in all of Tunod:



Inevitably:

With the Lighthouse Challenge completed, Honey heads up the stairs to claim her prize.

Challenger. Unless you’re insulting us. I’m not quite sure why a difficulty romhack would fail to also include spelling and grammar checks, unless deciphering the typos is part of the challenge.

The rest of it goes by too fast for me to screencap, but the end result is:

One trip to the Pokemon Center later:

And now, without further ado, now that we have money:

Yep. It’s back to the shop we go.

To be continued…
