Ray's Spiderman cup. 2008 - 2009
Not only that, it wasn't really my cup. My Dad just let me use it when my other one exploded. I think it contained an easter egg
It is with great solomnity I must report the passing of Ray's legendary spiderman cup. Spidercup lived a quiet life, mainly due to being an inanimate object. It's main pass times included being a cup, sitting quietly on shelves, and holding large quantities of tea. The tradgic incident occured 'a few days ago (current date 23rd January). It is believed the cup commited suicide by leaping from a tall height, shattering on impact with the carpet, killing it in the process. In responce to the tragic event, Ray had this to say;
'Omnomnomnom cheese'
Memorial services will not be held as the cup nearly ruined the carpet.
Yo! I'm Starmie121, usually named John. Dunno if you can guess my favorite Pokémon :P If anyone wants a match, just message me :P On here, obviously *whistles*
IRL Journal
Currently I am studying Art, Combined English, Classical Civilisation and Geography at Aquinas College. Super place ^^. I'd say the Art A-Level is, a bit disappointing if I'm honest, for some reason I was expecting something a little different. I'll stick with it though :P. I'd say my favorite out of them is Geography, and if I'd heard myself saying that a year ago I would have thought I'd gone mad.
I'm also looking at Universities I might apply to when I've finished my A levels. I'm looking to study English, I've not decided whether I want it as a single or combined course at the moment. I'll undoubtedly finish that up with a years teacher training course, assuming I can't find a course that incorporates it. Scotland is looking tempting, as A Levels are liked quite a bit over there, and you're allowed to skip the first year of the course over there with them (they work on a 4 year system where the first year is kinda like trying the courses out). Also my boyfriend informs me there may be a way to get in for free and use my uni time as guaranteed residency, he's gonna look into this more though. Current considerations I've had for Uni's are Aberystwyth and Oxford. Aber I'm more uncertain about than I was, and Oxford you need to be very good for. Could be an issue...
Uni shortlist
Apologies in advance to the admins that are already pissed off with me, but this was the only place I could lay this out cleanly.
- Durham (Rated No.1 in English)
- St. Andrews (Oldest Uni in Scotland, rated 5th in English)
- Dundee (High satisfaction rating in English, offers chance to skip intro year, ranked 9th in English)
D/P/Team (I operate on 3v3)
To date, I've never operated a team without having at least one Starmie on it. Weezing, being one of my favorites was also high on consideration. My original three Pokémon were Cassiopia (Starmie), Scrofula (Weezing) and No.6 (Magnezone). My Magnezone was named for the Magnemite (and later Magneton) encountered by Ash in the orange islands. At the time of my beginning it's training, my Gabite (Mortis) was classified as OU on Smogon University. It has since been upgraded to Uber, meaning it is the first Uber I have trained for a team. Training is now complete for Mortis and it is now listed under my team. I have begun again with training, Bia (Rhyperior) and Wani (Gyarados), though not finished, are now listed in my teams. I am currently training a Lickitung.
Pokemon Options (My Elite)
Rather than have a set team, I prefer to have a variety of Pokémon I can use,to this end I operate on 3V3 battles to keep battles more condensed and just for the sake of being different. Below are the Pokémon I have trained up, and below that are the Pokémon I am training up and the ones I would like to add to my options. I have fallen behind somewhat on training with the onset of my A-levels (I have exams in Geography and English in January)
These are the Pokémon I have to play with so far. To condense this, the first column deals with Pokemon species, level, nature, item held and rating - 1 being the worst, 5 being the best.

Natural Cure

Thunderbolt Surf Psychic Ice Beam
|
One of my top fighters, this Pokémon can kill loads of opponents in one move, and those it doesn't kill it frequently damages heavily enough to allow the job to get done by a team mate. Named after a northern constellation named by Greeks for the vain queen 'Cassiopeia'.

Not as versatile offensivly, Scrofula has proven itself as a magic tank, withstanding poundings that have even surprised myself on occasion. Somewhat of a miracle worker, has saved my team at the very last second on at least two occasions. Named for a type of Tuberculosis that occurs on the neck.

Magnet Pull

Substitute Magnet Rise Thunderbolt Magnet Bomb

Chosen for it's immense resistances. No.6 has proven to be a letdown both defensively and offensively. Mainly a Steel killer, it has rarely served with any distinction, and has all but been retired by Mortis. Named for the Magnemite (and later Magneton) encountered by Ash in the Orange Islands, the only Pokémon of mine not named from a factual source.

Offensively similar to Starmie, it has more defenses and has managed a miraculous turnabout sometimes, having on one occasion survived an Ice attack and destroyed an entire team with 12HP. Named after the Latin word for 'death.'

Only recently bred, Bia has yet to be finished, with additions to be made to the movepool. Currently it's shown to have decent power behind it and good passable resistance. Named for the Greek goddess of destruction.

|
Route 205 (Caught, December 26th 2008)
|
Intimidate

Dragon Rage Ice Fang Bite Waterfall
|
Untested beyond training, it's shown to have a lot of clout despite being the lowest levelled Pokémon in my team. Named for the Japanese dragon, which name derives from 'Shark' and 'Crocodile'
|
Metapod
Metapod, is a special Pokémon on my team for a different reason, it's the pokemon I own with the highest number of ribbons attached to it(discounting Cassiopia, which ties with it), a total of 13 to date. It was caught in Viridian Forest in Kanto as a Caterpie, a relaxed Pokemon that likes Sour food and often dozes off. It's IDno. is: 54466.
