I guess we did see more action...? [Eliminate] No One In all seriousness tonight we're sure to learn something more. Probably. Maybe?

Chapter 11: You Have Bewitched Me Body and Soul Luna has been spirited away by Team Meteor and that butler who's totally not El. Soleil has to escape their view in order to rescue her. Luckily, Radomus is on top of it, because of course he is. He tells me to look for Luna on 7th Street, and that if I don't know where that is (which I don't) I should contact someone with knowledge of Reborn's criminal underworld. Someone like, say, a gang leader. Of course meeting such a person might require I join their gang first...a shame, Soleil seems like such a sweet girl. But I would do anything for love justice... You can watch my gang activities if you wish, but it's not that important to be honest. I guess Soleil is a gangbanger now? Yeah, I picked Magma (again), Aqua in no way fits my theme. On a different note that's literally the first (and last) time I've ever encountered Zorua in this game Now that I joined Magma Gang (and immediately became their ace, fancy that) they show me how to get to 7th Street. There's all kinds of stuff to be found down here, but right now I'm most interested in finding Luna. Down in 7th Street So I find Bennett here, 'cause he's a sketchy dude. After I beat Archer (again) and that dreadful Craudberry I follow him to a most questionable establishment. I then realize this is, of course, a trap... Subseven Sanctum Those cultists gave me a lot more fight than I was expecting After my brazen jailbreak, I succeed in finding Luna and, with Radomus and Gardevoir's help, rescuing her from...whatever mind-conversion nonsense was going to happen there. I question if Radomus and Gardevoir even needed my help at all though...I mean he was there the whole time! It's as if he just wanted to give me a chance to be the hero. Or just a chance to show off in front of Luna... After all that, Luna invites me to explore her dark valley...(um, I guess it worked?) Iolia Valley Bennett's been following me this whole time. But Luna is only seeing one person today, and it's gonna be me, dammit! I have no intention of leaving her you...I can see your eyes are full of sin all 4 of them Vs. a waste of my time Lepidopterist Bennett This time Bennett needed to know he's nothing to me Now that Bennett has buggered off, I'm finally alone with my destined partner Dark gym leader Luna. It's nice and cozy here. And, umm, intimate...w-why did you call me here again? Hold on, do...do you want to like, eclipse me...? Wait! I-I don't think my heart is ready for that...! (A better man may not have made such a joke. I am not a better man) O-oh a gym battle? *ahem* Yes of course. T-that's why I'm here...(dammit Luna, how am I supposed to fight like this?) (Soleil x Luna is just too good a ship to be ignored. The symbolism is all there! Although eclipsing is for sure too much for me...I'd be satisfied with some cuddling tbh (darkness' embrace!)) ... This is the team I brought to face Luna: I'm ready to fight the Dark Dreamer now. Nothing untoward will happen. Then again, Sex = Violence is a fairly common storytelling trope, even historically speaking Vs. Dark Dreamer Luna I wasn't kidding about my head being all fuzzy for the battle...a rather underhanded tactic playing with my heartstrings like that, Luna. Very sneaky. This probably could have only taken one attempt, but seeing how close we were in each battle I'm not so sure. Luna's an interesting one; I never have too much trouble beating her, yet every fight I have is a close one...she's awfully good at making my heart pound, I'll give her that. I've now earned the Eclipse Badge (wait maybe something did happen...!) and the TM Dark Pulse (I feel there may even be a joke here, but it's not coming), which I can already see myself using actually, as proof of my conquest victory. Unfortunately, I must continue the journey...parting is such sweet sorrow. I decided to do some training to calm down because my levels are starting to lag, and it will surely become a problem soon. As a result, a long awaited metamorphosis occurs! Next time we'll be following Cain to check out Agate City. What will we find past the sleeping guards? What adventures await the rapidly strengthening team? Will I ever get over my video game crush on Luna? Stay Tuned to find out~

That's true, but I was connecting the update that says Absol's target was changed and Amber saying he was swapped. Is it more than coincidence?

Absol chose someone they expected to be killed. Said person was changed without Absol's knowledge...was it a swap by Blaziken? If so it's clear who their target was

Seems like we'll have to be patient in this game

The only one that's def a villain is Zephiel. Camus did oppose Marth but he wasn't really a bad guy, just on the other side EDIT: I forgot Michalis. He was actually a pretty bad dude

I want to mention Cherrim. Sure, there's fierce competition for Grass types, and it's not the best by any stretch of the imagination. But, it learns Petal Dance immediately upon evolving. At 25. I'm pretty sure that's the earliest of any mon. Its stats add up to 450, and they're fairly balanced, but mediocre compared to stronger mons. But it has 87 in Special Attack and 85 in speed, not terrible at all. Cherrim's claim to fame however is its unique Flower Gift ability, which gives a 1.5x multiplier to Attack and Special Defense to itself and its allies in harsh sunlight. Sure, it would have been better to boost special attack, but honestly that might be too strong. With this active Cherrim gets an effective 117 base in SDef instead of merely 78, actually quite solid. Plus, if partnered with a more robust, potentially physical attacking mon in a doubles match the stat boosts can be significant. I've gained new respect for Cherrim in my current challenge run. Cute though it may be, this is not the face of mercy.

...where is this coming from? Anyways I'd rather not die so soon, so [Eliminate] Alistair It's a shame, I didn't really want to vote for you

Spent most of today thinking about orchids, this is a nice change of pace I guess Chapter 10: A Feint by the Master (I'm not convinced this makes sense ) Soleil heads out to see if she can find Saphira. To the surprise of everyone no one really, the eldest Belrose is no worse for wear after presumably crossing blades with Lin. These high ranking gym leaders are, like, unkillable (talk about tempting fate...) She entrusts me with the Ruby Ring and Amethyst Pendant, since I'm strong enough to fight off Team Meteor (clearly she didn't see the Noel fights). Saphira's taking the kids to Labradorra/Calcenon to hide out from Sigmund, and instructs me to make my own way there. Heading north I emerge in Aventurine Woods, in a new region. Passing through to Route 1 it's not long before I run across an unfortunately familiar face. Route 1 (Vs. Swag Jockey Fern) Sigh...Fern is still nothing to me. If anything I regret wasting my time with him. Should have just spammed Flamethrower and ended it sooner After all that mucking about on Route 1, I make it to Vanhanen Castle, and am greeted by the residents. Hi Luna. Hi Radomus and Gardevoir. Hi Luna. Cain soon shows up too, having already located Heather and left her in questionable hands. He's here to fight Radomus too, of course, but Radomus says it's unfair to fight him 2 on 1. Unfair for us! I'd call it overconfidence, but since when is Radomus wrong about anything? In Vanhanen Castle (Vs. Pretty Boy Cain) Once again I almost messed up... I shouldn't have let Gengar walk all over me, but I wasn't certain Espeon would be faster. I can't seem to keep my head around Cain...I guess that's in character for me though, I'd probably be super flustered too if he came on to me, and I'm not even especially interested in men (probably..?) Gardevoir apparently got abducted while we were fighting, so (at Luna's request) Radomus joins Cain and me on a rescue mission. We determine the perpetrator will have fled towards Reborn City, so that's the next destination. However, we soon find ourselves in a very different place... CItae Astrae (Vs. Parson El) Only got blown away once in that fight, I guess that's good? I wonder how Ditto was able to mimic Gardevoir's ability to communicate with us. That's supposed to be unique even among her species! How can Ditto do it? Before going back to face Radomus I took a rather long detour looking for that klutzy techie's glasses. I got to meet a charming individual though: And I caught a Pinsir, so that's cool. I also ended up learning a lot about the mating habits of Tauros and Miltank. Surprisingly similar to our own as it turns out. Eventually I make my way back to the castle. Radomus' Gym I was actually a decent chess player once, back when I was young and happy. I like to think I didn't lose the skills though With all the puzzles now un-puzzled (or would that actually be "thoroughly puzzled?"), I'm ready to challenge the master of the castle. This is the team: Well, here we go! Vs. Grandmaster Radomus I didn't really change the strategy at all between the first and second attempts, yet the results were quite different. I was worried Confuse Ray would not work on Slowking, but it probs carries Regenerator over Own Tempo, makes sense. Turned out to be a marvelous duel, I'm satisfied. For winning Radomus gives me his Millennium Rod Puzzle Badge, that's the one, and TM Trick Room (that might make another appearance, we'll see). Then it gets all dark (please don't tease me like that Cain, you know it won't help me stay calm), and Luna is Taken! No way I can let the baddies get away with this! Stay Tuned~

If you have enough stickers they're purchasable at the Dept. Store I think

I agree, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for him to lie like that. I just felt obligated to mention the possibility (that Jace Stormkirk is a sneaky one); I don't really have a good explanation for what happened to Jace either.

Yeah for whatever reason Dive told Jace he was hexed, then that he wasn't anymore...something happened there. Or Jace is lying or maybe I just have trust issues

[Eliminate] No One I expect we'll see more action tonight though

Hmmm of course just one person could have been blocked by Hydreigon, yet the kill from Aegislash didn't work, and the haiku-thingy on Jace also didn't work. And now Alistair says his action was blocked too, opening the possibility that he's one of the mafiosos that tried something last night Or he's just lying, there's always that A lot of stuff happened though. It must have been some chain of events to cause so many failed actions

Abstaining is not allowed...we'll have to pick someone but there's still time to discuss it

Except Shelly. Shelly is always prepared
