Description
And here is Elite Eight and its powerful members!Man! This took me longer than I would have thought but I am VERY pleased with the outcome. I learned a lot while making this. One of my personal favourites absolutely.
So, let's not waste any time!
~~~~~~~~~~
What is Elite Eight?
- Elite Eight (or E8 for short) is a group of eight most powerful pokemon Jenna had trained during her travels in four regions. After Jenna retired from traveling and training, these pokemon knew that some of their master's new pokemon would like to show their skills. So, they decided to found the E8 and chose two most powerful pokemon from each of Jenna's teams from all four regions.
Any pokemon could challenge them and try to climb up from the bottom to the top (you have to beat the lower member in order to challenge the next). What makes it so hard is that the pokemon should manage to defeat them all so type disadvantages are sure to come. The challenger is not expected to defeat all of them in a row of course. And losing doesn't drop him/her back to the beggining. At last, he/she who manages to beat them all, receives the champion title of the ranch. So far, only two pokemon have managed to beat all eight members; Veruka's mother and Matthew. Matthew would be the current champion but he gave up on the title so there is no champion at the moment.
Members:
#1: Trevor the Treecko
- Trevor is the only one who hasen't actually beaten a real Elite four but his mother did and she was the original number one. After she passed away, her son took her place as the first member. Trevor is not the hardest to beat but he should not be underestimated. Trevor is also known as NFE master as all of his opponents have had to evolve (obviously not counting those who don't evolve) in order to beat him, except for one certain murkrow...
#2: Rick the Furret
- Rick comes from Johto and despite his cute looks, he's not an easy opponent. Rick will fall easily if you get a good hit on him but hitting him is the hardest part! Rick is really fast and will wear his opponents down with his speed and substitute attack.
#3: Marth the Dewgong
- Marth comes from Kanto and he provides an interesting battle. The battle takes place at the beach where Marth clearly has the home advantage. He also wears a nevermeltice item which boosts his ice attacks.
#4: Pandora the Luxray
-Pandora comes from Sinnoh and she takes her battles seriously. She is constantly trying to prove herself in the group. Being the only female doesn't help either. She is especially pissed off being under Stab who she really can't stand thus she is always trying to beat him to receive his place. Their relationship is quite interesting though because they actually have a shiny shinx cub (named Wattson) thanks to a one-night stand.
#5: Stab the Absol
- Stab comes from Hoenn and outside of battle he appears as a nice gentle absol but in battles... He gets crazy. Stab only accepts battles at night time. He finds it funny how much Pandora tells that she hates him.
#6: Hurley the hitmontop
-Hurley comes from Johto and he has managed to earn the sixth place in the group thanks to his battle style. Unlike any hitmontop, Hurley doesn't spin (it makes him queasy) but his punches are as powerful as any hitmonchan's and his kicks are as powerful as any hitmonlee's. Plus, his determination keeps him battling no matter how bad things look like.
#7: Alfonso the Hippowdon
- Alfonso comes from Sinnoh and he is the powerhouse of the group. Outside of battle Alfonso loves to sleep but in battles he's like a completely different hippowdon. He unleashes his massive strength and one hit from him could be very fatal. His only weakness is his low speed.
#8: Leopold the Charizard
- Leopold comes from Kanto and is the eight and final member of the group. Being Jenna's first pokemon he has a lot of battle experiance behind and he's easily the hardest member to beat. He is fast, strong and clever in battle. So far, he has lost only twice.
Champion: No one currently

Phew! That's the Elite Eight! Think you can beat them?

The only member of my Platinum team that could stand a chance against this lot would have to be my Yanmega, called Yanika.
Except at the end. If she's run out of Ancientpower, Leopald would kick her ass from here to there and back again.

So you need a pokemon whos quick, limber, good visual in dark, good swimmer, determinted, light-footed, powerful, and smart. Yeah I dont think my Cyndaquil (Sarabellum) would fit the bill

I could take out the first 4 maybe... I would use infernape for Trevor(His nickname is vincent!)Vincent for Furret. Cloud my ampharos for the dewgong.
My sceptile(First and best) because he is good with ground type attacks. Stab would be harder for me but I would probally use my Lugia Dalo. I would use Faolon(My Giritina) For the Hitmontop. Lugia for Hippowdon. And if I could get there... I would use typhlosion For Charizard(A total clash of fire power!) My other team of Floatzel,Manectric,Garchomp,Luxray,Ninetails,and Jolteon wouldn't do as well against them

I may have been in the top 20 to first defeat the American Version of Soulsilver, but my pokemon definatly wouldn't stand a chance. i barely defeated the Elite Four in the Johto version when they were all level 80s and 90s and 100s.

hokkyokukitsune In reply to TamarinFrog [2010-06-28 22:43:02 +0000 UTC]
It does, but leaf storm beats anything that can use sand stream. A hippo with a random attack EV's EQ only does ~45% to a sceptile, so I get a 2HKO if it has a focus sash, otherwise I get an OHKO. These battles have full healing in between, correct?

First you were talking about machamp... Now sceptile? And don't think only pure power takes these guys down. Some of them are trained to be defensive. And besides, the whole point is that this is a COMIC. Anything can happen.

hokkyokukitsune In reply to TamarinFrog [2010-06-29 16:02:14 +0000 UTC]
oops, sorry. I'm thinking of 2 1v1 pokemon, and I thought I had written one down the first time. I forgot to look at the entire train of comments. Anyway, hippo looses to DP then ice punch, and does under 50% with EQ. Didn't realize that this was just for the comic either, your reply made me assume that this was also in game (which was my original assumption).

Now this is an interesting piece. The way you described the eight make them sound like some kind of boss gauntlet:
Trevor - warm-up battle, the easiest of the bunch
Rick - the hard to hit speedster
Marth - requires skill in and underwater
Pandora - lightning attacks are hard to dodge
Stab - nightime battle makes fighting by sight difficult
Hurley - his rhythmic fighting technique will dizzy you
Alfonso - hits hard and is hard to wear down; stay on your toes
Leopold - uses experience to exploit weaknesses
Also, I smell a plot involving one of the Random Doom members attempting to defeat the eight. Veruka or Napoleon would make the most sense, but a goofball like Vincent would ratchet up the entertainment value.

You had written: Trevor is the only one who hasen't actually beaten a real Elite four but her mother did and she was the original number one.
Maybe I'm still misreading it,
but that says to me that Trevor is female

Congratulations. You have succeeded in making Absol, one of the most solemn and stoic looking Pokemon in existence, look absolutely positively GOOFY.
Those are some stunning effects! How on earth did you make them? Did you come up with the methods all on your own? I'm impressed!

What's the move that Leopold is using? And no, probably not. None of the Pokemon I have right now are even close to 100, not even Torterra, my starter.
