Reviews Comments: Overall Outstanding A Very Potter Musical whole series review by Gosurori Otaku
I put off watching this because I've all-too-often found fan-made parodies to be just plain terrible. This blew my mind, in the best possible way. However, it's not without it's downsides- the worst in my opinion being that version on youtube has rather bad sound quality, meaning it's hard to hear the characters speaking (though songs are usually better). The others are very minor, and also very unavoidable (mostly consisting of legal issues and practical issues), so I won't list them. In my opinion, the sequel is much funnier than the original, though it's very important to watch Musical before Sequel, otherwise there's so many in-jokes you simply will not get. Like Draco's monologues. Oh God those monologues. All in all, this is a brilliant series, mostly due to the insane characterisation of... erm, everybody. Lupin, Draco, Umbridge and Lucius are the most interesting reinventions. Most characters have their traits in canon upped to eleven, for example, Snape is actually more hammy than in canon, Dumbledore makes a pride parade look closeted, while Ron and Harry are all but twins (in terms of personality and bromance, not looks). All in all, I'd recommend for everybody to at least take a look. I just wish I'd discovered it sooner.

Drive Train Axles Bearings problem
2000 Land Rover Freelander 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 80000 miles
hi, my landrover freelander has broken down in the middle of God's nowhere! I'm pretty sure it is the propshaft, but I 'm sure the transmission and front drive shafts are o.K. If I cut through/rip off the propshaft will I be able to drive it home(120 miles) front wheel drive. Does it have a limited slip diff. Will all the power just go to the spinning broken off prop. Is the front / rear wheel drive have a permenant 50/50 power split. Even so, would breaking off the prop shaft cause catasrophic loss of lubricant/transmission oil? The engine is mounted front wheel drive style with the long propshaft. Thankyou
have the same problem?

Reporting H.R. 2824 Out of Committee (Passed 24-15. View Roll Call Vote)
This bill would stop the Obama Administrations costly and damaging rewrite of the 2008 Stream Buffer Zone Rule that would cost 7,000 direct coal jobs and cause economic harm in 22 states. This legislation restores regulatory certainty that's needed to keep supplying jobs and low cost energy to hardworking Americans.
Holt Amendment 001 – Blocking Increased Energy Production (Failed 15-24. View Roll Call Vote)
This amendment would allow the Secretary of the Interior to unilaterally enact any regulation regardless of the harmful result it would have on the affected communities and energy production in America.
DeFazio Amendment 002 – Blocking Increased Energy Production (Failed by Voice Vote)
This amendment would provide more uncertainty to the coal industry by reverting back to a 30 year old coal mining regulation. The underlying legislation provides clarity and certainty that will create jobs and protect coal mining in America.

Erik Romijn eromijn at ripe.net
Fri Jul 20 11:20:44 CEST 2007
[Apologies for duplicates] Dear Colleagues, Between 09:30 and 10:30 (UTC) on Friday, 20 July 2007, we will conduct planned maintenance on the Routing Information Service (RIS). This will involve a reboot of the Remote Route Collector (RRC) connected to LINX (rrc01). This reboot will allow us to prevent the collector from using defective parts of its memory. While rebooting, the collector will not collect data and the looking glass for this collector will not be available. We expect the outage to last for several minutes. We thank you for your patience and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions about this, please e-mail <ris at ripe.net>. Regards, Erik Romijn Information Services RIPE NCC

Among the findings of the Voter News Service exit polling of Alaska voters on the Presidential race in Tuesday's general election:
PARTY AFFILIATION: Nearly all Republicans and about 15 percent of Democrats voted for Bush. About one in 10 Democrats voted for Nader. Roughly one in 10 people who did not identify themselves as a member of the two major parties also voted for Nader.
PARTY PHILOSOPHY: While a majority of those who describe themselves as liberal voted for Gore, about one in five voted for Bush. Among those who describe themselves as moderate, slightly more than half voted Bush.
THE CLINTON FACTOR: About half of Alaskans disapproved of President Clinton's job performance. Those who disapproved of Clinton voted overwhelmingly for Bush. -
SOURCE: Voter News Service survey of 759 voters as they left 15 randomly selected polling places around Alaska. Sampling error margin for each result: plus or minus 5 percentage points for all voters, higher for subgroups.

If this was about arguing the merits of the Jones paper, as it began, that would be fine. But it gets shot down by solid facts
Like what?
Read through the thread. Substantive information was provided by a number of people. It is not my job to reiterate it. That's why it is archived.
If I may say so, in this phase of this extended thread you've come in pointing to a claimed eutectic reaction that FEMA left unaddressed and expanded that to some sort of leading indicator of a controlled demolition.
The stated topic of the thread was the Jones paper implying the presence of large quantities thermite or some compound thereof. I can't say you've been able to sufficiently reinforce that position with further data.

You make a lot of speculation and assumptions in order to dismiss this evidence, but I'm just wondering if you only question evidence that goes against the official story?
If you are actually interested in science it should take even less time that this thread to figure out the official story is a physical impossibility.

Perhaps the thermite was applied to the skeleton of the towers under the guise of fireproofing.
Thermite and thermate can even be mixed in a 5:1 ratio with plaster of paris and applied to the surface that you need to cut through.... although far more primitive than what the military uses as a medium for it's nanotech incendiaries, it shows that this substance can be applied in advance and is quite versatile.
Bubbled Latex or foam caulking would have provided an even better medium - and when combined with dyes would have passed for fireproofing foam.
*Obviously, incendiary devices alone did not bring down the towers; high explosives were used and there is an abundance of witnesses who heard the detonations.
During this period of time, Marvin Bush was in charge of security - no one was going to get caught.

Where is the video of the plane that hit the pentagon?
I can go on asking the where and when of anything you claim proved 9/11's official story. Can anyone go on and on supplying the answers?

MO State Wire
Published: Yesterday
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – The downturn in the economy already had cost Kim Ellis more than half of her clients at her small janitorial business. Her troubles were doubled by her vehicle, which after nearly 300,000 miles had saddled her with thousands of dollars in repairs and cast doubt on her ability to work.
Thanks in part to a $750 state tax credit for certain low-income residents, Ellis has at least solved her transportation problem. She used the money from the state income tax break to pay the sales taxes and licensing fees on the purchase of a newer, used car.
"It helped me quite a bit," Ellis said, "and I would hate for them to take it away."
Yet during a special session that starts Tuesday, Missouri lawmakers are poised to repeal the low-income tax credit that benefits at least 106,000 disabled and elderly residents living in rental housing. The move could save the state $855 million over 15 years, and some lawmakers want to redirect a portion of that money to new tax breaks intended to lure Chinese cargo planes to the St. Louis airport and more businesses to Missouri.
Advocates for the disabled and senior citizens are gearing up to fight the tax-credit repeal. But they may face a tough battle, because the elimination of the so-called "circuit breaker" tax credit for low-income renters is the single largest budgetary savings being proposed to offset the cost of the new business incentives.
Supporters of the special-session proposal contend Missouri must do something dramatic to spur job growth – even if it means less money in the pockets of the poor.
"While we're not very happy with the elimination of some provisions that help people in need, we've got to get our people to work if we're ever going to have enough money in the state coffers again to support human need issues," said Herb Johnson, secretary-treasurer of the Missouri AFL-CIO, which has joined the Missouri Chamber Commerce and Industry in backing the plan.
Since 1973, Missouri has offered a state income tax break intended to offset the property taxes or rent payments of low-income seniors. Over the years, that "circuit breaker" tax break has been expanded to also cover the disabled and the surviving spouses of deceased seniors.
For the 2010 tax year, Missouri paid out nearly $117 million in such tax breaks, with about $57 million going to people in rental housing.
Last year, the Missouri Tax Credit Review Commission – appointed by Gov. Jay Nixon – recommended the tax break be eliminated for renters but continued for homeowners under the theory that renters do not directly pay property taxes. Nixon initially opposed the recommendation, saying in December that the challenging economy made it an especially bad time to end the tax break for the poor.
"Maintaining the ability of seniors to get those income-eligible circuit breakers – whether they rent or whether they own – is an important consumer protection," Nixon said in December.
But the Democratic governor has now changed his position. Last week, Nixon said he could support ending the tax credit for renters, so long as an equivalent amount of money is dedicated to be spent on senior services. Nixon said his administration is working with lawmakers drafting the legislation to include a fund earmarked for senior citizen programs.
But state Sen. Chuck Purgason, who hopes to handle the legislation, said the fund amounts to little more than a political gimmick. If it's not immediately the case, politicians would eventually use the money from the dedicated fund to offset cuts in other sources of revenue for senior programs – resulting in little net gain for seniors, Purgason said.
"The reality of it is, if you're going to believe politicians are going to set up a fund and appropriate to senior programs, that is another wool over the eyes of taxpayers," said Purgason, R-Caulfield.
That's what stokes the concerns of people such as Minnie May, 75, who recently sold her house in the southeast Missouri town of Patterson and moved into a small rental home in nearby Piedmont. May, whose gets $686 a month in Social Security payments, said she has received about $300 annually from Missouri's homeowner tax credit, which she has used to help pay her bills. Now that she lives in a rented home, May's tax break could be in jeopardy.
May uses an analogy from her farming background to describe her distaste for the legislative proposal.
"When one chicken plucks a feather out of another chicken, all the other chickens do too until there's nothing left of the chicken," May said. "And that's just what these lawmakers are doing, they're taking one feather off at a time until the elderly and disabled have nothing. And there's just no need of it, absolutely no need of it."
Ellis, 43, of south St. Louis County, has received the income tax break for renters because of her disabilities, which include rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. She calls the proposal to end the tax credit "one of the worst ideas ever."
"I think they're making a big mistake if they were to get rid of it, especially now," Ellis said. "People need something they can depend on."

I am helping my daughter restore a 1903 four square farm house. Many years ago the pocket doors were removed from the parlor and stored in an out building. They are in beautiful condition and we wish to re-install them. We were able to find that the track and rollers are still in the wall but it appears that we are missing some attaching hardware. We have attempted to identify the design and manufacturer of the mechanism without success.
I am attaching some pictures of the tops of the doors in hopes that someone may identify the hanger so we can try to find a diagram to go by to build the missing pieces.
Any help would be greatfully appreciated.

Luxembourg introduces draft legislation to create beneficial ownership registersLuxembourg's government has published draft legislation to incorporate into national law the requirements under articles 30 and 31 of the European Union's Directive 2015/849 on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purposes of money laundering or terrorist financing, better known as the 4th Anti-Money Laundering Directive. Placed before the Chamber of Deputies on December 6, 2017, draft law no. 7217 would establish a central register of beneficial owners of Luxembourg legal entities such as companies and partnerships under the authority of the minister of justice, while draft law no. 7216 would create a similar register of beneficial owners of fiduciary contracts, that is express trusts, under the authority of the Administration de l'Enregistrement et des Domaines, Luxembourg's indirect tax authority.

New Zealand favours English approach to penaltiesA recent High Court decision marks an important step in the development of the approach to the "Penalty Doctrine" in New Zealand – that is, the principle that contractual provisions which allow parties to punish one another disproportionately are unenforceable.

Raspberries and IT: New Sector Inquiries by the Serbian Competition CommissionThe Serbian Competition Commission (the " Commission ") recently finished sector inquiries concerning quite distinct industries – raspberries and the public procurement for software and hardware. The aim behind the inquiries was to perform extensive market research and analysis in order to acquire a clearer picture of the possible antitrust issues and risks in two sectors widely perceived as strategic for the development of the Serbian economy.

Even More Sector Inquiries: Sportswear And Oil Retail Under Scrutiny By The Serbian CommissionThe Serbian Competition Commission (the " Commission ") continues its diligent examination of the Serbian competitive landscape in specific industries, this time with inquiries in two more industries – sportswear (including footwear and sporting equipment) and oil (petroleum products). Once again, the aim behind the market test was to identify potential issues on the relevant markets and provide broader insight into the functioning of the relevant markets.

Best shows from MFW SS17 Day 1: Gucci, No. 21 and Roberto Cavalli
Milan Fashion Week
The collection: "All the clothes tell a story steeped in wonder phantasmagoria and unorthodoxy," explained Gucci's spring/summer 2017 show note. If you think the Gucci girl and boy can't get anymore eccentric, think again. This season, Alessandro Michele presented a collection that was bigger and bolder — both aesthetically and literally. Signature Gucci floral corsages (looks 27, 38 & 40), headpieces (looks 11, 50 & 57) and the Marmont bag doubled in size, while shoes tripled in height. A beautiful mix of spellbinding sequins, sparkles, shimmer and studs densely decorated skirts and pantsuits (looks 32 & 51), sheer gowns (looks 24 & 31), and not forgetting all those lust-worthy head to toe accessories. This collection also saw another artist collaboration with Californian illustrator, Jayde Fish, who Michele discovered on Instagram. Her sketches inspired by tarot cards were translated onto looks 25 and 73.
The venue: The space at Scalo Farini was covered with over 250,000 mirrored sequins hanging from the ceiling and a carpeted runway featuring the house's web stripe and stars — some called it Gucci's version of a pink disco. This will be the last show at the former railway station. Next season's combined men's and women's show in February will take place at Gucci's new office space, nicknamed the 'Gucci Hub'.
Buro loves: The spiked shoulder harnesses strapped onto intricately embroidered gowns for that touch of punk attitude (looks 17 & 72), and those gym drawstring bags rendered in metallic brocade (looks 6 & 71).
No. 21: TIERS OF TEXTURE
The collection: An unabashed celebration of femininity that saw designer Alessandro Dell'Acqua offering up a cavalcade of whimsical dresses in a muted palette of black and white, but tiered and layered with various textures — think: Macramé lace, luscious silk, tactile tulle, and interestingly, segments of mesh for a tinge of punk. And whilst all-white dressing continues to be a huge trend (already a predominant theme from last season) we found ourselves gravitating towards the exits with shots of mustard (looks 3, 5 and 7), and the closing procession of artful prints mixed-and-clashed with metallic sequins (looks 31, 35 and 36).
Favourite look: The ethereal allure of look 30 with its gold and silver sequinned skirt, overlayed with tulle further sequinned with shooting stars. #Gorg
Are bum-bags back? Dell'Acqua seems to think so, proferring straps for its small clutches-cum-handbags, and then proceeding to style them as a belt around the waist (looks 9, 15 and 25).
ROBERTO CAVALLI: 1970s AMERICANA
The collection: For those hoping for a flighty tiered dress à la that yellow frock from Beyonce's car-window-smashing music video Hold Up, there was a billowing ochre version in look 28 (fitted with a Navajo-inspired beaded chest-plate); but otherwise, it was a collection heavy on separates. An exploration of native American textiles, designer Peter Dundas (aka the king of 1970s louche) sent out models shouldering fringed blankets (looks 1, 32 and 59), sporting striped flares (looks 8, 10 and 13), and rather incongruously, donning military roped jackets (looks 25 and 49).
Try this at home: As with every Dundas collection, there was a lot going on — a kaleidoscope of patchwork print dresses and sexy crop tops, all thrown together with a rakish insouciance. If you're looking for a small piece of that 1970s irreverent luxe, test out the Cavalli waters with one of those long languid scarves. And, as suggested by Dundas, you can wear it with everything.
Something you might have missed: That red leopard print trouser-and-top set in look 48. It was a welcome exotic edge, a hard punch of rock and roll, to a soft and fluid collection.

T.O. deal official; Pacman returns, intercepts a pass
Published 7:00 pm, Monday, June 2, 2008
AP Sports Writer
When Terrell Owens signed with the Dallas Cowboys two years ago, he announced, "Get your popcorn ready." When he signed an extension Tuesday, the club had the popcorn ready for him _ a giant bowl of the buttery stuff, big enough to feed the entire offensive line.
"That's funny," Owens said, scooping a few kernels into his mouth.
The bowl was so big it took two people to carry it into the room. Owens knew a surprise was awaiting him. Seeing what it was, he walked up laughing, smiling and getting a bit hungry.
"This is your signing bonus," team owner Jerry Jones cracked.
Jones wishes he got off that cheaply. Owens actually cashed in a $7 million bonus, plus a three-year extension worth around $27 million.
Coincidentally, he signed his deal the same day the Cowboys got their first look at their newest standout pass defender, Adam "Pacman" Jones. Although he's still technically suspended, he's allowed to do everything up to the regular season, and he went through his first practice Tuesday.
He capped it by intercepting a pass _ from third-stringer Richard Bartel, not starter Tony Romo _ and returned it 80 yards for a touchdown.
"I would've prevented that in a second," said Owens, who missed the workout because he was flying back from New York, where he had business with the NFL office.
By taking care of Owens now, the Cowboys helped their salary cap for the upcoming season. They also helped keep their locker room free from what Owens said "absolutely" would have been the distraction of him going through the season as a free-agent-to-be.
Just to clarify, he said the problem would've come from repeated questions, not for anything he would've done or said.
Owens has maintained for months that his status was no big deal. He not only said that to reporters, he told agent Drew Rosenhaus, "I don't want to talk about nothing unless it's something for real."
"It's almost like a kid expecting Christmas," Owens explained. "You don't want to get in that situation where you get your hopes up and then nothing happens."
T.O. knew there had been talks in recent weeks. He got a hunch a deal was close when Rosenhaus flew to join him in New York on Monday.
Owens got the same salary range as Randy Moss. He's also locked up through 2011, when he'll turn 38.
Jones downplayed the age, noting Owens' dedication to fitness and his production. He's already among the career top 10 in catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns; he's the active leader and No. 3 all-time in TDs. He's also focused on the one glaring omission from his resume: A Super Bowl victory.
"I've been thinking, `What can I do for my game to get to another level?'" Owens said. "Honestly, I'm going to find ways to work out harder, do things differently, to really escalate my game."
As surprising as it might be for Owens to have controversy-free contract negotiations, here's a bigger stunner: If he plays out this contract, he'll have lasted six seasons in Dallas.
That's a heck of a lot longer than critics expected when he arrived to a wary fan base and a reluctant coach who referred to him as "the player." Owens' first season was marred by injuries, an overdose and all sorts of wackiness.
Then Bill Parcells stepped down as coach. Owens has rarely stopped smiling; one notable exception was when he broke down crying in defense of Romo after a playoff loss.
"Upon signing here, I never really knew what to expect," Owens said Tuesday. "At this point today, I'm very happy. I know I'm a Cowboy for life. I couldn't be more ecstatic about what's going on now."
He added: "This contract really, for a lot of people, it signifies money and they see dollar signs. But for me, it signifies commitment."
Jerry Jones said Pacman looked good for a guy who has been out of the league more than a year.
"He told me the other day he gets sore because he's really been pushing himself the last couple of weeks," Jerry Jones said. "But, in our initial look at him, he's probably in as good shape as anyone out there _ not ready to play football, but in good shape."
Pacman remains suspended from the regular season, but NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday that the cornerback-kick returner can do everything else. Goodell will rule on Jones' regular-season status by Sept. 1.
"I think we should be careful creating a graduation scenario here," Jerry Jones said. "He wasn't reinstated, but he's getting (a) chance. That's a plus, but nothing more. … I had hoped that we could create enough at the league office that the way we're doing it would allow him to do that."
Now that Pacman is this close, Jerry Jones already is envisioning him on the field _ wearing No. 21, just like Deion Sanders wore for the Cowboys. Sanders has become sort of a big brother to Pacman, trying to help him follow the rules of the NFL and society.
"I see it now. I see it right now," Jerry Jones said. "I think he's got the resolve. I think he can help our team. … I know I feel good about it. I hope that will make our fans feel better about it."
Owens is looking forward to the practice-field competition with Pacman. The one time they faced each other, Owens won but Jones left with T.O.'s cleats because he didn't score a touchdown.
"Maybe I'll have him wear them out to practice," Owens said. "If I score on him, he has to wear them the next day."

Wu, The ability to implement what you refer to as "the common IP blocking implementation" cannot be a requirement of a SOAP-level spec; there are at least two layers of independence between WS-Eventing and IP.

Kilrim is an orc barbarian. He trusts only those who are independent or Horde-affiliated. He was forced into gladitorial games at the Gurubashi Arena in Stranglethorn Vale. He was summoned to fight in the arena by two large troll guards that went to his cell. He and Parla, a young goblin rogue, stood and exited through the barred gate, casting sidelong glances at each other, knowing the danger they were being sent into. After a short time, they returned with Kilrim leaning on Parla. The orc lacked his right hand and a white rag was wrapped around his forearm — which was turning red rapidly. Naith, a tauren, rushed up to heal him when all the other prisoners were slow to act. Having been maimed, he sunk into a deep depression. When a group of adventures attempted an escape, he did nothing to aid their exit from the cell but was willing fight beside them once they made it outside. The help from the one-handed orc barbarian was beneficial to the escaping wizards and tinkers.[1]

Who is Ash's strongest Johto Pokemon?
Who is Ash's strongest Johto Pokemon?
Spoiler:- Favourite Pokemon:
This one's a tough one. Outside of Totodile, you could probably make cases for all of them.
Just I said on your thread, starters are strongest at very end, except if they don't raise they're starter.
Heracross. Always Heracross Qwaa
quilava or heracross.
Renewed playthrough pokemon Y, legit Ideal Iv/Ev Shiny/Black team: (4 badges)
Its obviously Heracross. He was always shown to be very strong.
It's pretty clear Quilava as Cyndaquil was the strongest.
How can people say Quilava is the strongest?? It was used in 1 battle and it didn't even win, it tied IIRC.
Heracross without a doubt, it showed to be very strong, it did pretty good against Darkrai, a robot Pinsir, one of Gary's Pokemon and a Scizor and that's pretty damn awesome
Bayleef very rarely lost.
1st X run:
Herecross was beast after his capture until Ash got him Oak'd and the runner-up would be Quilava as a Cyndaquil since he was really good in his battles.

It won against 1 or 2 pokemon in EVERY battle it was in, enduring thundershocks, thunders and hyperbeams.
It was the 2nd snorlax untill it got used as a scapegoat against latios

Bayleef or Quilave. ><
~Bane of a Grass Type Gym Leader~
Pokemon Pearl Team: (TORTERRA, CACTURNE, MOTHIM, BELLOSOM, VICTREEBELL, LEAFEON)
Pokemon Soulsilver Team: (MEGANIUM, VENUSAUR, SCYTHER, SCEPTILE, SMEARGLE, EXEGGUTOR)
Pokemon Black Team: (SIMISAGE, SERPERIOR, SWADLOON, VIRIZION, LEFEON, MARACTUS)
And Torterra isn't weak, either. Just because the writers screwed it over and didn't give it any wins didn't mean that it was weak. I mean, look at its battles. It lost against an Elite Four's Pokemon and a Pokemon it had a disadvantage against (Drapion). It's only embarrassing loss was against Electivire.
Anyway, Quilava. It had a tonne of wins and was shown to be a powerful little bugger. Bayleef would probably be a close second. Heracross seemed to be portrayed as strong but it only has like, three wins, so nope.
Obviously Torterra was pushed aside because of Infernape and this is unfortunate but I don't think we could call Torterra weak and we certainly can't forget about his wins as a Turtwig and Grotle. Yes, he is not a Turtwig or Grotle anymore but those wins should still be counted because Torterra is still the same Pokemon except now he evolved so we should still count his wins before he evolved. I think someone brought up Torterra was used in 3 battles after it evolved. Bertha, Paul and Volkner. I don't see any reason the writers couldn't have Torterra get a win against Paul. He is a starter Pokemon who the writers are usually kind to for the most part and they could have very easily gave Infernape one less win or make another Pokemon a scapegoat besides Torterra. Maybe Buizel or Pikachu especially since Pikachu would later tie with a Latios. They also could have made Pikachu the scapegoat against Volkner but they didn't do that either. And then Torterra lost against Bertha who is a really strong trainer and Ash was going to lose against Bertha no matter which Pokemon he used in that battle. But Paul, Bertha, and Volkner are all very strong trainers so we shouldn't call Torterra weak because he was used against 3 very strong trainers. One that he was never going to beat (Bertha), one that they needed Infernape to show its dominance before the League (Volkner) and another trainer with a very powerful Drapion (Paul).

The King of Bug-types, Heracross.
Heracross>Quilava>Donphan>Noctowl and Bayleef>Totodile.
Now to go to the sinnoh thread and repeat.
If you're a fan of Agent Carter, Agents of SHIELD, Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, DC Comics and Movies, Fear The Walking Dead, GTA, Heroes, Mass Effect or Saints Row, hit me up with a VM, I'm always eager to talk about things I like with fellow fans.

Heracross. Has been in a lot of battles and he got some good wins in the Sinnoh League.

I chose, "Heracross" because of its recent wins in the Sinnoh League, but it was hard to chose since all his Johto pokemon have proven to be strong, like Bayleef when she was used in battle against Gary, Donphan during the Battle Frontier saga and so on...
Amourshipping Ash x Serena forever love!~ <3
Heracross. Especially during Sinnoh.

poor totdile beyleef and noctowl with 1 vote, voted hera-X (Get it)
Thanks Sworn Metalhead for banner!
Heracross tbh.
