Pokemon Emerald

Part 29

Petalburg City...
Gym Leader: Norman, Misty's father.

The way Norman's gym is laid out is each room leads to another room with a specific theme to it.

Speed, eh? With Breloom's Mach Punch I can't lose!

.....fuck. After quickly switching to Ferrosaur I took that sumnabitch out.

Man that bong flute came in handy.

Eventually Misty figures she should head on after a couple hours just sorta sitting around.

Yeah, that sounsd like him.

Oh god, if only there was some way to turn his massive attack power against him.

Yeah, I stalled with Ferrosaur (I used a Super Potion this turn hence the HP difference.) Eventually he just sort of slit his own throat. It was the damnedest thing.

*gulp* At least it'll give me a hint like the other rooms as to what he uses.

Oh Fuck you dad.

*gulp*

A couple Hard Knuckles into his back and we'll be set.

Good thing I picked up that flute... ..however it went on like this for maybe 5 minutes. Teetering and Fluting and teetering again. So eventually I just said fuck it.

Ok, Norman's special attack "Facade" Doubles in power if the user is afflicted with a status ailment, soooo...

A confused, Paralyzed slacker. Hey guess what!

Shoryugget took him down a bit until Slaking actually managed to get an attack through.... Counter. Shoryugget was out of this battle.

We still have Daytripper though.

After stun sporing Vigoroth then barely surviving a Facade, Daytripper whittled his HP with Headbutt (rather than Mach Punch). Forcing it to either be paralyzed or flinch until I could finish it with a Mach Punch.
