Thard_Verad yeroc500 Thard_Verad *Since the new report is identical to the first one, I just photocopy the grade and stick it where it's easily visible* What? *Dodges to one side as Brian's Furret charges in for a Double-Edge* Okay first off, remember that you need to RP in your posts. Now, to answer your question, you first posted that mission on page 1823 if I'm not mistaken. I graded it. Look on 1825. But then you reposted the mission without making any changes, so I copied the grade unchanged too. I'm not trying to be mean and I would much rather pass a mission than fail it, but there are limits to my leniency. Please understand that when I fail a mission, I point out why it failed and try to help you improve. *does an insane matrix movement dodging a Furret* i hate that damn thing, Me: Thard quick question for you, Mystery stones evolve pokemon at any time right?..... and i have at least more than 2 somewhere around here can i just go evolution crazy on my Budew?

For the record though, you can achieve the same result with a Heart Stone and Shiny Stone.

*Posts yet another grade on yet another mission* You know, after reading the second paragraph, I was this close to failing the mission on the spot. But I'm glad to see you eventually released that Ralts. However, there are other problems to address before I can pass the mission. First and foremost, please include the mission brief at the top of your report. This way the grader knows what mission he or she is grading. Second, you've misused Teleport and Growl. Teleport usually just ends a battle with wild pokemon. However, because you got creative and made things entertaining, I won't make you change that. I will ask that you change how you use Growl. The move won't stop an opponent, it'll just weaken physical attacks. Fail this time, but it should only take minor changes to pass next time cool

So even on the east coast you still have an hour or so. But, if all you have are Mystery Stones and don't want to go shopping... *Puts on sunglasses and walks casually outside before calling back* ... Approved!

MISSION - That's the Spirit!
Any Team Aqua member is asked to go to Mt. Pyre and catch a ghost pokemon
Pokemon:
Duskull
Shuppet
Funds upon completion: 300
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I was running to the mission I noticed very few people by the board. I quickly figured out why it was the 4 of July. I was looking for level one mission and I saw one. In the mission I had to catch a Duskell or Shuppet at Mt. Pyre. I instinctively knew that it was by the hoenn safari zone. I knew that because I had already been there with my dad. But anyways I took the ferry to Lilycove. As soon as I got there I went straight to route 121. As I got to the safari zone a wild linoone jumped out. I knew it was too strong for me so I ran as fast as possible.
As I got to the pier I could see Mt. Pyre in the distance. I sent out my mudkip and told it to use surf. As soon as I got to the entrance to Mt. Pyre a wild wingull popped up at me. I had my mudkip use mudslap to decrease its accuracy but it had no effect. Then the wingull attacked with a water gun. I sent out my mime Jr and withdrew my mudkip. Then the wingull attacked with another water gun witch missed. Then I used confusion witch confused the wingull but it shot a water gun at Mime Jr. This knocked it back into the water. Then I sent out my mudkip and I told my mudkip to go and save my Mime Jr. My mudkip got Mime Jr out just in time to dodge another water gun. Then mudkip used mudshot but it didn’t do much. The wingull came back with a quick attack. Mudkip dodge again but landed in the water but then mudkip countered with a tackle. The tackle knocked the wingull back. The wingull tried to counter with another quick attack but hurt itself in confusion which knocked itself out. I recalled my Mime Jr but let my mudkip stay out.
As soon as I got into Mt. Pyre I ran around the graves to the stairs. I’d already decided that I wanted a shuppet. As I got to the top I noticed an odd red orb. I had my mudkip use water gun on the orb. The orb turned into a duskull as soon as the water touched it. The duskell then used shadow ball which hit mudkip head on. Mudkip then countered with a mudshot. The attack didn’t decrease duskull accuracy, but the duskull used shadow ball again. The shadow ball missed by inches and mudkip used the opportunity to attack. Mudkip used water gun then the duskell use curse which in return took the duskull down, but left a curse on mudkip.
After that battle mudkip was badly damaged, so I called mudkip back and sent Mime Jr. Mime Jr walked off and went straight through a wall. I got a cold shiver up my back after I saw that. I walked to the wall and pushed my hand through the wall. Then I walked straight through the wall into a huge room with four sets of stairs. I went up the first stair to find a dead end. Then I went up the second stair case and found my mime Jr. I saw another set of stairs in the room so I went up that set of stairs. As I got to the top and shuppet finally popped out I had Mime Jr use Hypnosis but it had no effect. The shuppet used shadow ball which Mime Jr dodged and countered with a confuse ray attack. The shuppet tried to use shadow ball again but hurt itself in confusion. Mime Jr then used confusion and did little damage. The shuppet snapped out of confusion and used shadow ball and hit Mime Jr. The attack took Mime Jr out so I sent out mudkip. Mudkip use water gun and nearly took the shuppet out. I decided I would use mudslap to take down accuracy. Just before I use the attack it used screech and harshly lowered mudkips defense. The attack worked but the shuppet got really mad and used shadow ball again. Mudkip dodged.
The shuppet tried to run but mudkip kept jumping in front of the shuppet. Then I though a pokeball. The ball shook once. Twice. Three times. The shuppet was caught. I was so thrilled to catch my first pokemon. I was also relieved to be able to get out of this crazy place. I went the same way down and went though the wall again. I went down the stairs and left Mt Pyre.

yeroc500 MISSION - That's the Spirit! Any Team Aqua member is asked to go to Mt. Pyre and catch a ghost pokemon Pokemon: Duskull Shuppet Funds upon completion: 300 *Sends Dusclops to grade the mission* In an elegant, looping script, Dusclops I see you've made some efforts to improve, and I admire that. However, in your battles, you have your pokemon dodging not one, not two, but three Shadow Ball attacks! I'll have you know we ghosts are very proud of our accuracy and if this weren't a level 1 mission I'd stamp [FAIL] right here and now.
But this IS a level 1 mission, so I'm under orders to look beyond that sleight. If you're so concerned about the damage your pokemon take, remember that there are weaker ghost-type moves available. Lick and Astonish are both worth considering. Just remember that dodging too many high-accuracy attacks becomes godmodding.
As a side note about Mud Shot, it actually lowers the target's Speed, not accuracy. Also, as a ground-type attack, my little Duskull cousin would simply Levitate above the shot and take neither damage nor stat-loss.
Your battles are, for the most part, pretty good. I am concerned that you haven't developed your story-telling. That part about the stairway maze was a fair effort, but I think you could have done more. Without a good story, the mission simply can't grab the reader. The potential is there, you need only find a way to tap into it.
For your troubles, I guess I'll let you have a pass on this one. Be good to your Shuppet, and spend your P$300 wisely.

MISSION- Flame on!
Go find a fire pokemon!
Pokemon:
Any non evolved, non legendary fire pokemon
Money: 600
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was running to the mission board hoping the mission my friend recommended was level one. When I got to the board it turned out to be level two, so I decided I wouldn’t do that mission. I decided to take another mission Flame on. The mission was going to be and easy one, so I went home and packed to go back to Mt. Pyre. I took the ferry again to Lilycove city and rode my bike to the Safari Zone. When I got to the pier I noticed that the sky had turned black. After I surfed to the entrance of Mt. Pyre I went in the entrance to find no one around. I went up the same set of stairs behind the graves and took the second flight instead of going through the wall. As I got to the top I noticed that I had rained. I went walking around the small grave and came upon a wild Chimecho I sent out my Shuppet and use Astonish. Chimecho got hit hard and flinched so I decided to use Astonish again and again dealt another large blow but the Chimecho did not flinch. The Chimecho used Astonish on shuppet and dealt a heavy blow almost knocking shuppet out. I ordered shuppet to use Shadow ball and took the wild Chimecho out.
After that I sent out my Mime Jr. I went up the mountain and soon found myself in tall grass. I walked into a meditite and completely scared the living daylights out of me. The Meditite use calm mind and I had my mime Jr use hypnosis and stuck meditite to sleep. The meditite stayed asleep so I used confusion and nearly took out the meditite. It woke up and use detect and I used mimic and used detect. The meditite tried to use detect again but it failed. I used confusion again and left him confused he tryed to use Siesmic toss but hurt itself in confusion which knocked meditite out.
I came out of the tall grass to a hill which I climbed. The hill had a great view of the sea and I stared out in awe. After I was done looking at the scene I went back into the tall grass and went up instead of straight. When I came out I found a team magma grunt. I tried to avoid him but he spotted me. He came up to me and asked for a battle I accepted. He sent out a zubat and I sent out mudkip. The Zubat used wing attack and hit mudkip. Mudkip countered with water gun and nearly took Zubat out. Zubat attacked with astonish and missed then Mudkip used Tackle and then took Zubat out. The grunt sent out a Numel and it used Ember which did little damage. Mudkip used Water gun again and took Numel out too. After that the grunt told me he had been fired and he came up here to fight anyone he could, and if he could beat a trainer he would be hired back into team magma. I said keep training.
I kept going up the mountain and came to a large area of tall grass. I walked into the grass and try to walk forward but bumped into a kid who was looking for a wingull. I quickly turned and ran to avoid another battle. I got away and found and clearing where I found my friend mourning a grave. I went up to Zach and asked him why he was here he said one of his families pokemon had died recently. Zach challenged me and I accepted because we had always been rivals. He sent out a plusle and I sent out mime Jr. Plusle used quick attack and hit mime Jr in the shoulder. Mime Jr used confuse ray and confused Plusle. Plusle tried to use spark but hurt itself in confusion. I used confusion and got a critical hit which severely damaged plusle. Plusle attacked with spark again and hit mime Jr and damaged him slightly. Mime Jr used physic and knocked plusle out cold. My friend said he had no other pokemon, and we shook hand and went our separate ways.
I went back into the grass and stumbled upon two holes and I sent out my mudkip and told it to use water gun on one of the holes. The water came out the other hole and out popped a vulpix. The vulpix was severely damaged and it use will-o-wisp. The vulpix burned mudkip, but I had my mudkip use tackle and nearly took out vulpix. Vulpix used ember and did little damaged, and the burn hurt mudkip too. I threw a pokeball and it shook once. Twice. Three times and the vulpix was caught. I went back down the mountain and out the entrance of Mt. Pyre with a new pokemon.

Me: "Yeroc, if I may make a suggestion, your mission has the pronoun I repeated many, many times through out the mission, though most frequently in the first paragraph. I would suggest sentence combining or some other form of literary usage to make it flow a little better.
"And your battle scenes are a little choppy as well. You're trying to combine in-game style with RP style, which, in my opinion, isn't the way to do things. I think that full out RP style, within the guidlines of in-game style, would work well to your decision.
"Once again, I can only suggest things and not grade. If you do not want to take my advice, that is fine as well. It is, after all, just my personal opinions."
Pump: "Hey guys! How's it going?"

Thard_Verad T3h Pinkster -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION- Birch's First Break-in Any Team Aqua member is asked to go to Prof. Birch's lab in Littleroot and steal one of his three Pokémon (Treeko, Torchic, and Mudkip). You must sneak in at night. But don't get caught by Prof. Birch or his assistant. At some point you must battle the Pokémon you stole/are stealing, if you want to catch it. Pokemon: Treecko Torchic Mudkip Funds upon completion: 300 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Sticks grade number one on the first mission posted* You certainly have an unique style, Knuxy. Just on the sheer chuckle factor, I'm willing to overlook the wildly lopsided battle. And the fact you generally don't catch a pokemon after it faints. Why is the battle lopsided? Because you either got an extremely strong Mudkip, or Mousy is extremely weak. Two Thunderbolts and three Thunders to win? At least it was the foe who was unusually tough or else you'd fail for godmodding. As I mentioned to someone else, when making conversation, each new speaker generally starts a new line. I don't think I'd fail anything below level 4 for ignoring that guideline, but it still makes missions easier to follow. [PASS]Love the humor!~ Keep the Mudkip and you get P$300. Oh thanks, im a comedian at heart, can't help myself, everything MUST be funny OR ELSE. I'm not crazy. I was only being fair with the lopsided battle( i don't even get the lopsided part, what is that? My retarded going-to-the-same-grade-3-times brain doesn't understand). Mudkip and Mousy were about the same strength, Mousy never did anything in any of the old RPs on Nsider, and she never faught a single battle or went on a single missison. And this is only my second mission.. evar... i'm not that good with missions >_>;;. Oh yeah, i was thinking about the whole speaker makes a new line thing, but that would be To much lines, it would look ugly.
