So these jerkstores from Team Fusion are trying to keep Inventor and Honey from entering the poorly named poisonous swamp.

Then this guy Blake shows up. You know he’s the hero because he has green hair. Also, he has a Darkrai, and he’s not afraid to use it.

Say… wait a second. Blake… owns a Darkrai… that sounds vaguely familiar… Meh, I’m sure it’s nothing to be concerned about.

He’s an Elite Four member, by the way, and he tells Honey that he’ll escort Inventor to the ruins and that she can just go off on her own and follow her dreams while he and Inventor go do science.

So, now that Honey has Poke Balls, she goes to try to catch some things. However, TPP hasn’t played as Gen 3 game since Touhoumon/Moemon, and Honey fails to catch anything in the swamp. So she goes back to the forest, where, for a while, she fails to catch anything in the forest.

Eventually she does get more Pokemon, though.

BBBC Hbvvv the female Poochyena, found in the woods. A British news reporter in the making.



After some funning around at the Pokemon Center, we headed back to the swamp. It didn’t go well.

Did I mention the swamp is a toxic milkshake?



Undettered, Honey sets back out into the milkshake to catch more Pokemon.

BBHHCEQ the female Caterpie. Barbecue the Caterpie. Which nearly happened in the PC when the first team was deposited, but that’s another story.



Next is a female Ekans named… Ekans. The only other name I’ve seen for her is Venom Snake. As it happens, even she can be poisoned in the toxic swamp, which confirms that the place is full of the ‘milk’ of a million Salandits.

Wait. What if it’s not Milkshake Swamp, but Milk Snake Swamp? That explains a lot.

(Writer’s note: actual Milk Snakes are not venomous, but impersonate venamous snakes with their coloring. Twitch Plays Pokemon, however, had its own ‘milk snake’ in Randomized HeartGold, which was still a poison-type.)

BBBBBBAAA the female Croagunk. Alone in the world as a little sheepfrog.



Finally, to complete the first team, HA the female Budew.

Enjoy the team while it lasts. (Spoilers: it doesn’t last.)
