Forgot to visit the desert, went to the Gym instead. I went through all the doors in the Gym, to battle every trainer. The trainers were all easy since I managed to sweep them all with Shelgon. Then, I battled Norman. I sent out my Meditite against his Spinda and began to set up a couple of Meditates. It took a little while because Spinda loved spamming Teeter Dance, but eventually I got a few in and KOed Spinda. I then OHKOed the rest of Norman's Pokemon.
After receiving the badge, Wally's dad came to the Gym and kidnapped dragged me to his house, where I got the Surf HM. I then went back to my house, where my mom gave me the Amulet Coin.
Next time, I'll explore with Surf or do the desert...depends on which one I remember.
I finished going through Victory Road, and battled Wally. He's got a pretty decent team but too bad my Pokemon outlevel his by around ~10 or so, so I easily finished his team. I arrived at the Pokemon Center on the upper part of Ever Grande City.
Speaking of Ever Grande, my friend and I wondered how it could be called a "city" while the population is, what, the E4, Nurse Joy, 2 door guards and a man selling stuff. XD
Anyway, back to the story, I decided to level grind my Pokemon a bit. I remember stuffing some Rare Candies in the PC and I took them out, and found that I have ~12 Rare Candy or so. Sweet. Now I'm training my team to around L60 before going inside the E4. Weezing is fun to train since his moves are all at 80/90 base power and usually OHKOes the wild Pokemon. While Sceptile is harder because he needs to hit the wild Pokemon twice or so before KOing them, making me run out of PP pretty fast. And I'm training with a Pickup Linoone in the last place. He already got me a PP Up, another Rare Candy and a Full Restore. ^^
... Some timeskip later...
So I got my team up to ~59. With my 13 Rare Candies I had in hand, I elevated all the levels up to L62. I also used up all my PP Up (I believe I had about 7 of these) and PP Max (one. XD) on the moves that have less PP. Now, onwards to the Elite 4! Syndey, here I come.

After defeating the sixth gym, I went to Lilycove where I defeated my rival after that I went to Mt pyre and started the whole evil team base part, which I both cleared, after that I went to the shoal cave and got a Spheal which easily evolved into a Sealeo, I trained my pokemons quiet a bit before defeating the 7th gym, in which my Lairon evolved into an Aggron.
Just a quick post here, restarted my game, but instead of keeping the groovy gecko Treecko, I opted for PSYTHOUGHT, the Ralts. We (barely ) beat Roxanne, thrashed Brawley, got JEWELL the Aron, and trained. Beat May, evolved Ralts, and we are training for 26 before challenging Wattson.
Team:
PSYTHOUGHT the Kirlia (level 22)
JEWELL the Aron (level 22)
I went into the Elite 4, and challenged the first of them, Sidney. First out, he sent Mightyena, which I pitted my Hariyama against. I Belly Drummed right off the bat, and got a Sand Attack in the face. I believe he was going to Roar me out because on the next turn, I used Vital Throw and went first. Too bad, Sidney
The next turns are pretty much... one-shots. Shiftry tried to Double Team me twice, but Vital Throw made short work off him. Cacturne tried to Cotton Spore and Absol tried Snatch. Only Sharpedo gave me a bit of a problem. He Swaggered me making me lose a turn to use the Yellow Flute, but after that Vital Throw still made short work off him.
~~~
Next up, Phoebe the ghost girl who, well, trained on Mt. Pyre to gain the ability to commune with Ghost Pokemon. And here comes the Pressure train, Dusclops. At L48, he survived a Shadow Ball from my L62 Weezing, and Phoebe used Full Restore to get his HP back to full. So I lost another 2 PP of Shadow Ball (damn you pressure) and finished it off with Sludge Bomb. After that, her two Banettes got one-shot by Shadow Ball, and Sableye got Surfed by Crawdaunt. Last Pressure train out, a L51 Dusclops. Two (four!) Shadow Balls again made short work of him. Weezing did get Confuse Ray'd and Ice Beamed, though it doesn't really affect him that much..
~~~
The third one, Glacia with her Glalies. lol. First Glalie up set a Light Screen, but Sceptile's Leaf Blade two-shot him. Sealeo out next, which I pitted against Crawdaunt (more so because I wanted to use Brick Break and shatter the screen). It got down to red HP (despite the level advantage, Crawdaunt's 120 base Attack and super effective damage >_>) so on the next turn I used Return first (Glacie Full Restored the seal) and then Brick Break. Second Sealeo and Walrein got one-shot by Leaf Blade, and the final Glalie got Eruption'd by Rupt. Not much of a challenge, really.
~~~
Final E4 member, Drake the dragon user. I used Crawdaunt mostly throughout the battle, Ice Beaming them to death. I did pit Sceptile against one of the Flygons and the Bagon, though, because Sceptile also has Dragon Claw. Needless to say, Ice Beam is far more effective but hey, gotta spread the love experience around.
~~~
Finally, the Champion. Woot. His Skarm managed to Spike me up >_> but Rupt's Eruption killed it in one shot. Same goes to Aggron who got Earthquaked. His third Pokemon Metagross was a bit more of a suspense. He moves first, Earthquaking Camerupt. He did got left with ~40 HP though, and Flamethrower killed Meta. (Now, I wan't expecting that!). Then Claydol, which Surf took care of. Next up is Cradily. I used to think Cradily is a Rock/Bug Pokemon while it's actually Rock/Grass o.o No wonder Sludge Bomb did normal damage to him XD He did manage to faint my Crawdaunt, though. =|
Ah, so Armaldo is the Rock/Bug guy. Ah well. Anywayyyy. I really love Weezing now. XD His stellar Defense blocked Slash and AncientPower like nothing, even though Slash did get two critical hits. I stalled with him to Revive Crawdaunt and heal a few other teammates, but it turned out I didn't need to. Thunderbolt took 3 hits to kill Armaldo, aaaaaaaaaand we won.
Seth pkmn: You should really check the signature rules. I do like to do signature checks on anyone who says "Info in Signature." Plus More than three sentences please!
Emerald: Bread some Dragonairs. Basicly worked on Getting a Living Kanto dex. I'm only missing a handful of families for Kanto, which forced me to restart Fire Red, as I'm missing Ominate.

Sorry :c.
I thought it said somewhere that that only applied to shown signatures, so I thought I was fine since I had them in a spoiler.
Today, I went to the desert on Route 111. I explored the entire area and picked up several items. Then, I went inside the Mirage Tower. I managed to get passed the Mach Bike segments on my first try and made it to the top really quickly. The top floor had two fossils, I ended up choosing the Root Fossil. As soon as I picked up my fossil, the tower collapsed.
I then went back down to Mauville and decided to do the New Mauville sidequest. I got the key from Wattson, then headed to New Mauville. I explored the place, got some items, killed some Voltorb, and turned off the generator. Then, I went to see Wattson and he gave me the Thunderbolt TM.
Well, after I evolved lairon into aggron, I started training my pokemon in victory road.
I had all of my pokemon up to level 40, except gardevior. So, I was training, and guess what I run into? Shiny Golbat!!!!
I switched to azumarill, used surf twice, threw a few ultraballs, and caught it. Might upload pics soon
Fighting the E4, Casualties: 2
Sydney-Breloom and Blaziken took care of him
Pheobe-Crobat's shadowball ruined everything.
Drake-Gardevior calm mind sweep, then Azumarill's ice beam. (I 1HKO'd one of his flygons xD)
Steven-Fighting him as you read this!

Right, I'm about to challenge Norman. Kirlia thrashed Wattson, after Calm Minding +4, we 0HKOed Voltorb and Electrike, 3HKOed Magneton, and 4HKOed Manetric. We then grew to level 26 (we only grinded to level 25) and learned Psychic. Kirlia then swept Flannery. By this point, she evolved into Gardevoir. We explored the desert (well, Mirage Tower) and picked the Root Fossil. I decided to make Cradily my 3rd member. We haven't got Lileep yet, so we're heading back to Rustboro to get that sorted and challenge Norman.
My team of Zigzagoons are doing fairly well: trying to grind everyone to level 25: so far Castro and Hatsune (the rare candy hoarder), are there. I'm just prepping for Watson so I can Headbutt through the gym and move on. It's taking a long time though I am enjoying myself. n.n

Final champion battle: he sends out his skarmory, I send out my aggron. I use rock tomb, trying to lower its speed. then, I use earthquake, predicting him to switch He switched to aggron, I know out about half its HP, now I know it's going to use earthquake So I go to breloom, he takes it like a BOSS, then proceeds to sky upper cut aggron's face. he sends out his Armaldo, while I send out blaziken. I use fire punch, hoping for a burn. he uses aerial ace, and my blaziken hangs on with 1 hp! So, I go for 1 more fire punch, hoping for the burn, but don't get it. I send out my gardevior, use calm mind on the turn it heals, and almost kills it. he gets my gardevior, while I send out my Azumarill. Surf, then gets the Armaldo. he sends out Claydol, Heal up Azumarill, then use revive's on my team. Azumarill faints, so I send out gardevior. I spam calm mind, healing when needed. Then spammed/future sight/Psychic I get the claydol, then he proceeds to send out skarmory. Who gets hit by future sight, getting OHKO'd Then, his last pokemon, metagross. I send out crobat, and use shadow ball. He uses psychic. killing crobat Then, he earth wuakes all of my pokemon, so all I have left is blaziken. I know he can tank 1 hit, and 1 hit is all I need. So he uses earthquake and...........*a lot of swears and slurs here* BULL CRIT.
So close, its lengthy, but TL;DR:I almost won.
EDIT: AMERICA, **** YEAH!!!
I beat him! With a crit earthquake, take THAT! you crit hacker! My first time beating ruby/sapphire. Beat emerald though.
Caught latios, too!
And rayquaza
Done with ruby, traded them to emerald. Now, to wait until sapphire comes in the mail.

Went to Route 115 and Surfed up to its northern section. There I did some battles and found some items and berries. After that, I went back to Mauville and used Surf on Route 118. I battled Gabby & Ty again, then saw Steven. He didn't do much, just talked for a while then left. I then walked onto Route 123 and visited the Berry Master's house.
When that was done, I started exploring Route 119. I fought a few people, and even managed to get Meditite to evolve into Medicham. Eventually, I reached the Weather Institute, which is what I'm doing next.
Well yesterday my Prmearl&Sapphire came in the mail and so I whipped out Sapphire in a hurry.
No shinies, but a Sapphire UT Kyogre instead of an Emerald one I have. Plus they haven't recieved Latias, Regis, or Rayquaza, which is good for me because I need more natures of those. n.n
In Ruby (Zigzagoon Challenge!) I leveled everyone up to 25, beat Watson and the gym, and started heading toward the dessert making the team:
Castro- Lvl 28
Nebula- Lvl 25
Bianca- Lvl 25
Blade- Lvl 25
Lenin- Lvl 25
Hatsune- Lvl 32
The reason for Hatsune being a level 32 is because I declared her the Rare Candy Hog for when I get in a tight spot. So far I haven't (except the first gym), which is good. Basically I would use her to take some blows while I revive the rest of the team.
So far my plan with all my games are as follows:
Emerald (JAP): Continue level Combustion till it's a Blazikan, then go mutilate the first Gym (Lvl 26 so far.)
Sapphire: Obtain the legends of different natures, and possibly EV train/ Shiny hunt a team.

At the Weather Institute, I had to battle a bunch of Team Aqua members. They weren't that strong, so I defeated them easily. As thanks, the people working at the institute gave me a Castform. I gave it a dumb nickname, and it was sent to the PC where it'll remain forever.
After that, I continued along Route 119. However, I was soon stopped by May, who wanted to battle. She wasn't tough at all, so I destroyed her. She gave me the Fly HM before leaving. I then kept walking until I reached Fortree City.
PSYTHOUGHT (Gardevoir) Calm Minded+swept my father Norman and got the Basic Badge. We also got Surf. On a new note, JEWELL the Aron evolved battling a gym trainer, and we got OLDBUDD the Lileep (Quiet Male). Then we caught (using Surf) TEMPEST the Voltorb (Bashful nature) and TERRORCLAW the Corphish (Careful Male). We trained on the sea route near Mr Brineys house and TEMPEST evolved. But then my game froze. So I'll have to train all over again (I saved after catching my team).
Did some exploring in Fortree, then headed east onto the next route. I went onto a bridge there, where I saw Steven again. He gave me the Devon Scope in order to get invisible Kecleon out of the way. After Steven left, I surfed under the bridge and went into the Scorched Slab where I picked up the Sunny Day TM.
After that, I went back to Fortree. I decided to go to the Gym. Like previous Gyms, I destroyed the Gym trainers. I then battled Winona, who I swept with Gorebyss. I got my sixth badge and then left. Now I'm heading to Lilycove.
