Well this is happening, so... [Eliminate] Cataline

This week I have to face my (presumably) final year of University...but I think this is going to end up being my preferred form of procrastination for a while Chapter 7: A Sobering Reality In search of the missing Cain I sail to Azurine Island. You may watch me traipsing around in the swamp if you wish, otherwise feel free to skip this one Azurine Island Eventually I find an unassuming structure. Cain has to be in here, yes? Inside I'm surprised by our favorite Meteor duo, Aster and Eclipse. Guess I have some work to do! Vs. Meteor Grunts Aster and Eclipse and Vs. Meteor Admin Taka So yeah, I almost lost to Aster/Eclipse, then did lose to Taka because he's so pretty, and his Chatot cheats because I suck at this game...not that there are not more slip ups incoming Taka told me all about the plan to wipe out Apophyll, so there's no way I can just let that happen. I've got to stop it just like he wants me to I ultimately get paired with Victoria to climb Pyrous Mountain (again), before putting a stop to the Meteor scheme and giving that Solaris guy a thorough thrashing. Serves him right for using a Sol- name, that's my thing! Pyrous Mountain (Vs. Meteor Leader Solaris) It felt so...dirty using Endeavour like that...and yet so good... Before the Solaris fight we saw Soleil use another Sun Stone: I was most interested in getting Toxic. Perhaps I could have waited for Grassy Terrain, but I'm not that patient So we stopped the PULSE, but Kiki suffered an untimely death . Victoria gave me TM Strength, but I still need Aya's badge, so it's time to make Cain open the door (finally) Through the Wasteland (Vs. Pretty Boy Cain and Vs. Swag Jockey Fern) You can think of my stumbling over Cain as foreshadowing. Fern, of course, was no contest. I can finally face Aya, another doubles leader like Shelly. And also like Shelly, she proved to be challenging. This is the team that ultimately bested Aya, though you will see me make several changes: So now, please watch and enjoy Aya stomping me into the ground before I get it right. I know I didn't enjoy it probably Vs. Wasteland Punk Aya So what was that, 5 tries? I'm clearly rubbish at this game. I spent too long trying to brute force it honestly, should have known better Aya gives up the Venom Badge I so desperately need, as well as a useless TM. I can use Strength now (finally), so the next order of business is going after those stolen kids. But first, I did some more exploring in the Wasteland, partially to find TM Venoshock for Harmony, and partially to do a bit more training. I use one more Sun Stone: I wanted to get Volt Switch before evolving in case I need a slightly better Electric move for the next segment, though he can soon (re)learn Thunder anyway I'll go in search of those that were Taken, Next Time ~

Aerodactyl vs. Archeops? Maybe this is a thing that happened back in the day, if they even existed contemporaneously (I'm not that well versed in Pokémon archeology)

It doesn't matter so much how many wolves are left right? Even just one can still kill someone every full moon after all. The vamps are supposed to alternate though yes? But if it's just one left I guess alternating would not happen. What I'm trying to say is that tonight we will probably lose one person, and possibly 2 whether we guess right or not, but it's definitely more helpful to eliminate the vamps first if possible

So Jace is finished it seems... The plot thickens

I've been reading all these posts though, and this move by Alistair seems rather risky to me to be a bluff - a lot of potential for it to backfire

Chapter 6: Beach Bodies Back down in the Railnet I run into Victoria (where have you been?). She briefly met with Cain, who left to continue pursuing the stolen kids. I find him in Coral Ward but he cheats Surfs away to Apophyll, since the TM Strength will be necessary (no key for me). Just when I seem stuck Amaria appears. She asks me to help her investigate another factory in Peridot Ward, suspected to be the source of the lake's pollution... Investigating Blacksteam Factory (+Vs. Meteor Admin ZEL) The ZEL/PULSE Muk fight was actually really annoying this time. The team I've chosen leans heavily toward Special Attacking, and we're pretty fragile, a stark contrast from the last time We stopped this machine, but the incident has left Amy bruised and battered, so she must retreat. She offers me access to her boat so I can sail to Apophyll and find the TM Strength, what a nice girl. There's a lot to be found here, so some exploring was in order! I go to see the Academy's sensei, Kiki. I (and Vicky, she's here too...somehow) tell her we've come seeking Strength, but she generally only gives it to graduates. Victoria then decides to apply for graduation immediately, since we really need to save those kids, you know? Luckily for me, Kiki considers giving me the TM anyway provided I can prove my worth, which starts with climbing Pyrous Mountain and defeating the star student. I can totally handle that! Also, I'm told by like, everyone, that he's cute too, so that's a bonus. Vs. Ex-Leader Cal Yeesh, another tough fight...maybe it would have been easier if he weren't so darn pretty...Er, I-I mean if I didn't have such an (ironic) weakness to fire, not to mention he had a statistical advantage at this point. Having beaten Cal, I return to the Academy, where I catch Kiki in a moment of weakness. She's actually very, very ill, and not long for this world unfortunately. However, she agrees to face me in a gym battle, since we really need to save those kids, you know? Victoria tries to stop me first though, apparently having lost focus of the mission, just like Kiki taught her not to do. This is the team that bested Kiki: Now, the battles with student and master! Vs. Apprentice Victoria and Vs. Sensei Kiki No problems with these two, luckily Kiki collapsed before giving me a badge...either way I'll still need Aya's before Strength is a possibility. Vicky promises to get me Kiki's badge and TM though. She also points out that we never saw Cain, even though he left before us. There's one place between Coral Ward and Apophyll Beach, so that's the likely place to find him. Until next time~

[Eliminate] No One Seems unlikely we can choose correctly right now. Maybe more information will come out tomorrow

Chapter 5: The Light-Bringer At the Grand Hall I go to tell Ame about Corey. Unfortunately Fern beat me to it... Vs. Swag Jockey Fern I lucked out in freezing Roserade but I'm not even a little sorry about it After Fern falls short against me yet again he tells me to seek out Cain for the key to the Wasteland, where the poison reserve Aya can be found. I find Cain at Beryl Cemetery. Somehow we end up fighting... Vs. Pretty Boy Cain Heather gets mad and flies off to see Shelly, so Cain goes after her. I go after him, seeing as how I still didn't get what I came here for. In Lapis Ward Heather (with an assist from Shelly) ends up talking herself into trouble with Dr. Sigmund. We can't just let that be of course! Raiding the Orphanage We all decide to escape the city through the Railnet, but we are stopped by a roadblock there. Shelly says the door won't open without power from the abandoned Yureyu Power Plant, where Shade seems to operate. He's, like, actually pretty frightening, but Anna insists he's a nice guy, and asks me to ask him for help (and fight him, we can't forget to fight him). I did some light training before going to find Shade. Since Corona already learned Flamethrower, I went ahead and used my Fire Stone (it was legit, I promise ) So this is the team I brought to light up Shade: And now I charge fearlessly into the night! Vs. Entity Shade Gotta love how well the first attempt went up until I got swept by Chandelure...right on cue with the music even (that was in no way planned, I promise ). As such it was pretty gratifying to beat it with a grass type (I never fail to be impressed by Lilligant's strength). Shade gives me his badge and (useless) TM Shadow Claw, then powers up the place, just in time for my friends to be Taken... What will I do next? Find out next time~

It's hard to make deductions so far...

I'm pretty sure OHKO moves always fail on higher levelled opponents though

Here's mine~ Maybe I wouldn't be that strong, but I would be satisfied

A warning: the videos in this chapter recorded a bit wonky. There's a slight but maddening audio delay in all of them...I'll have to do better Chapter 4: Clinical Strength I went to check out the commotion at the stairway. It's still under investigation though, so I go to Lapis Ward to find Corey's badge I guess...Everyone's shocked by what happened. Victoria is here with the juvenile Lapis gym leader Shelly, who's pretty well traumatized by the sight. Exploring Lapis Ward (+Vs Meteor Grunts Aster and Eclipse) I let Aster and Eclipse get the better of me that time. After I save Victoria we go back to see Shelly, but she's still not ok. Vicky tells me to find a professional to help her... Finding help for Shelly (Vs. Orderly John and Vs. Apprentice Victoria) Actually handled John well this time. My problem is usually lacking Fire attacks at this point since I almost never pick Fire starters. Look Victoria I like Shelly as much as the next person. She's a precious child that deserves love. But she said she's ready to battle me now, and I know she's quiet or shy or whatever words you want to use, but did you consider that maybe she gets frustrated if no one listens when she does actually speak? I know I do... I can now go on into the gym. The next video isn't so important frankly, just me being befuddled by Shelly's advanced gym puzzle. I cut it short even. For some reason I struggled this time to solve it, more than usual. Eventually though I make it to the gym leader. Here's the team I brought to challenge Shelly: Vs. Bookworm Shelly You never make it easy, do you Shelly...As you can see it took a few tries to work out my strategy/not get flinched like...every time. But I had the benefit of, again, actually having fire attacks this time so I was able to bring much more offensive potential Defeating Shelly enables Rock Smash, so next I went back below the stairway to grab the mining kit. I need to excavate 5 Sun Stones. While I'm down there I can find another teammate: With the Sun Stones I unearthed I effected some more change: Shelly asked me to inform Ame about the incident with Corey, so next time we're headed to the Grand Hall. Stay Tuned~

Chapter 3: Unearthly Growth At Florinia's direction I head to Jasper Ward. Here, the floral onslaught has progress much further than in Obsidia, necessitating the closure of the entire area. Many people have gone missing in the hazard zone, including several of Reborn's finest. I eventually do manage to find the cause of the problem, along with another Team Meteor Admin... Exploring Jasper Ward (Vs. Meteor Admin Taka) This Taka guy seems pretty pleasant actually. Stopping this other scary tentacle monster improved the conditions in Jasper Ward, but the neighboring Beryl Ward is in just as much trouble. Exploring Beryl Ward In that video we saw a change occur on the team: The enemy is within sight, but I took a detour before confronting them. Since I found all the police officers, back at the station they gift me their now partnerless Growlithe. In exchange for one of its eggs, I get a mysterious egg of my own! There's actually a couple possibilities for the egg that would have fit, but one only appears here. So, with some help from Satan Sandbox mode, Soleil received another teammate: Now we're ready to take on the next foes. We find another PULSE Machine, as well as Taka, ZEL, and another unknown man... Vs. Meteor Admin Taka and Meteor Admin ZEL First time I've beat them in just one attempt actually. Cherrim immediately learning Petal Dance at 25 is incredible, not to mention proper use of Weather Ball gives me a 100 base power attack plus STAB... Even 2 on 1 the admins cannot stop our heroine. The mystery man is revealed to be gym leader Corey, Heather's father, and the police rush off to confront him at his gym... With this (third) scary tentacle monster (...too many of these to get comfortable in this city) no longer a threat, I'm able to explore the rest of Beryl Ward. Before going to face Corey the team grows by one more: I next head to the gym to assist the police in apprehending Corey. This is the team I brought: Time to bring this fugitive in for questioning. Vs. Agent Corey I actually expected the Corrosive Mist to come back once my terrain ended, so that threw me at first, but it didn't matter in the end. I knew I had enough power to drop Crobat legitimately if I could paralyze/sleep it first, so the battle was not especially difficult. After losing to me Corey gives up his remaining will to live...and I didn't get a badge either. Then that annoying plant guy showed up again, but more importantly there was an explosion at the Grand Stairway. That will be the next destination. Until Next Time~

It's just so irritating to see Dragonite on a team with Jangmo-o and Axew all at almost the same level...but then I never really forgave Lance for using those 3 illegal Dragonites against you in Gold/Silver either

I actually got angry when I saw you fight a level 28 Dragonite. How does that happen
