Part 15: Mini-Update: Phenac Colosseum

Mini-Update: Phenac Colosseum

It seems Hitmontop's been Purified, over the course of all the running back and forth on Mt. Battle, but at what cost?

Ouch. That's a serious bit of pocket change there. It's less expensive than Purification by scents, but more expensive than... well, just running around with it in your party. (Or wall-glitching.) So, you can now see the following spectrum:
Least expensive --->---- Most expensive
Walking ->- Day Care ->- Scents
Most time ------>-------- Least time


Bop on down to the Relic Stone, Purify it up, and we'll head on over to Phenac City to enter the tournaments! Why Purify it? Well, besides the experience it'll gain from battling, this:
Phenac Colosseum Challenge Rule: No Shadow Pokemon. Unlike Pyrite, the presence of Shadow Pokemon might be too upsetting to the idealistic town, or label us as criminals... or more of criminals than we really are.

Spiffy Point: In the first three rounds, each trainer uses one of the starter Pokemon of Hoenn (Mudkip, Treecko, Torchic); in the last round, Pichu, who is the baby form of Pokemon Yellow's starter Pokemon (Pikachu), is used.

There's not much to say about these battles, other than "hit things to make them faint". The level's low enough that they aren't really a threat to our battle-hardened ( spastically EV-trained ) Pokemon.

So, on with the fun.
