Chapter 21: Psyched Out

After a brief training session, Temere decided to meet up with Cain in order to rescue the children.

lRjVGi9.png

Cain, of course, didn't want Temere's help. After all, why would he want his help after his behavior in Apophyll? However, Cain realized he didn't have a choice if he wanted to save the children. As such, the duo made their way into an abandoned building.

Apparently, this "Yuyeru" building was the old economic powerhouse of Reborn until earthquakes destroyed the building. The duo explored the building, taking out Meteor grunts along the way until they happened to run into another friend:

Indeed, it looked like the children were being held there. With Charlotte's help, we were able to open the lock to the next room. Unfortunately for us, however, we had learned an unexpected twist...

According to Team Meteor, the earthquakes were not natural, but instead caused by the evil organization. After quickly dispatching both of them, it was decided that the two would continue up the stairs.

There was only one thing to do left: take down Sigmund!

Despite our battle, Cain wasn't happy with the outcome.

He seemed distressed over Heather's emotional state. Of course, before we weren't allowed to stay down for too long, as we still had to save Anna.

Unfortunately, Sigmund got exactly what he wanted with both the Ruby Ring and Amethyst Pendant. As he ran off, we were left to try and comfort a horrified Anna.

 

Before we end the episode, however, there is one more team member I would like to introduce you to:

With that being said, next time, we'll be taking on the next gym leader! Who should we catch? What should their names be? Who should we use for the upcoming fight? Also, since we elected to use the shiny Venipede and Quagsire, what should their names be (if they have any at all)? It's up to you!

Chapter 22: Fodder

After a long wait, we finally have returned to this LP! We started off the day by trying to find Anna a place to rest. After all, she was feeling quite sick. Along our way, we caught a new member...

  Reveal hidden contents

Eventually, we made it to Charlotte's house. Inside happened to be her older sister, as well as member of the Elite 4, Laura!

L73ZFTM.png

Laura told us that there was medicine in the town nearby. We quickly rushed to get it, only to find that the Pokemart was in a rather peculiar spot...

B2EnPsK.png

Apparently, the townsfolk have been having difficulty with teleporting objects. As strange as that was, we were interrupted by a couple people before we could think too far into it.

MTLS7d8.png

Meet Serra and Bennett, a mother and son. Serra used to be a famous model before she gave up her career in order to help her son. Bennet is...

 

...well, he's...

 

...we'll wait before I get into the kind of person he is...

 

Serra began by talking about Luna, her adopted daughter, much to the pleasure of Bennett. She had run out on the family along with her friend, a Gardevoir (strange, but Temere met a talking Braixen, so it could be worse). Before he could have time to think about this, however, he met another new character...

PgY8XiL.png

...oh, no! I thought I escaped the Church of Theolia!

 

Seriously, though, this is El, a religious person on the hunt for his daughter who happened to be named Luna. Bennett, however, decided not to open his mouth... strange, but we'll let it slide for now...

 

Regardless, Temere decided to take Serra's challenge. Because we defeated so many trainers along the way, we even got another cool new evolution!

  Reveal hidden contents

Eventually, we were stopped by Bennett in the last room. He decided to challenge us, wanting to move one step closer towards his dream of becoming a gym leader. It was time for a fight!

  Reveal hidden contents

After our battle, there was only one thing to do left: to take down Serra!

  Reveal hidden contents

This meant we received yet another badge! To make matters even better, the Pokemart teleported off of the house, allowing us to get the medicine! However, we were also treated to this cutscene...

HqHMAd9.png

Bennett gave up Luna's location in exchange for a position in the Elite Four. Of course, this meant he would have to abandon his mother. Crushed, we couldn't just leave her there. We offered to comfort her however we could. While it didn't help in the long run, she decided to let us stay for the night as a thank you. She even gave us access to some of her husband's spare clothes! This means we will be changing Temere's outfit next episode! What should Temere be wearing?

 

Also, next time, we will be delivering the medicine to Anna. Who should we catch? What should their names be? An Eevee was recommended. Which Eevelution should we use? One vote has been cast for Flareon so far. Which six team members should we use? Also...

Chapter 23: Sigmund the Prank Master

After spending the night at Serra's house, Temere knew he had to continue his adventure. However, before he left, Serra offered our hero some extra clothes! Meet the new and improved Temere:

pKpO56O.png

However, that wasn't all! Temere also spent some time capturing some new team members!

  Reveal hidden contents

Eventually, we decided to buy Anna's medicine. Luckily for us, we made it back just in time!

MIS92mN.png

This greatly pleased Anna, who decided to feed the medicine to her doll. Despite this, she still seemed to feel better. Anna decided to thank us for our help by offering a solution:

BL2j7AS.png

Without hesitation, Temere decided to switch out his team members in order to to prepare for this fight. Indeed, it was time to-

5BqDZyb.png

...wait.

 

Indeed, Dr. Sigmund and Sirius had found the location of the children. Our group decided to set up defenses around the house, not allowing anyone into the building. Unfortunately for us, we found an unwelcome guest.

MtXSjtt.png

"Hello everyone, welcome back to another exciting episode of Prank Invasion! I'm Dr. Sigmund Connal, and on this episode, we'll be pulling off the Kidnapping Children Prank!"

 

Needless to say, Sigmund send some grunts after us to stall for time. After quickly putting them down, we were confronted by another figure...

cpydRop.png

Indeed, it was time to fight!

  Reveal hidden contents

Before we could confront Sirius, however, we heard a scream upstairs from Laura. We quickly decided to confront the threat.

V6P4TFX.png

"You're on Prank Invasion! Anything you want to say to the camera?"

 

However, before he could upload his prank to Youtube, we decided to confront Sigmund.

J2jVSr4.png

"LOL, it's just a prank, bro!"

 

Sigmund, unable to kidnap the children, decided to kidnap Laura instead. As such, next time, we'll be saving her from the clutches of Team Meteor! Who else should we catch? What should their names be? Which six team members should we use? It's up to you!

Chapter 24: Madame Lin

Before deciding the status of Anna and Noel to Saphira, Temere decided to spend some of his time training. As such, he caught a new team member...

  Reveal hidden contents

After spending all of that time training, it was needless to say that Saphira wasn't too happy with us. She decided to take out her anger by attacking Team Meteor directly.

HT5dWB2.png

Of course, without Temere's help, she wouldn't be able to get too fa-

V4Otg4A.png

...okay, maybe she can tear down the doo-

Zvwk8P1.png

...wait, did she kill them?! I don't remember any of our allies killing in Rejuvenation! This is-

BSMPjSK.png

Yeah, she even killed that woman who help Charlotte captive! Saphira is brutal!

A6eoiX9.png

"Bro, it's just a prank! I swear, I didn't mean it!"

 

Despite the horrified cries of Sigmund, Team Meteor had a bigger threat: the PULSE Abra. It had been responsible for teleporting everything nearby, including the Pokemart. Abra's energy was so unstable, it decided to teleport us to the bottom of the mountain.

PApYvmL.png

Both Temere and Saphira decided to look for ways out of this chasm. Along the way, they even found...

qFOIKg0.png

...welp.

  Reveal hidden contents

Despite his size, the Steelix went down without much of a hassle. This allowed for Saphira to commandeer the beast.

3g3VoLt.png

With its help, both Temere and Saphira were able to escape the chasm. Saphira decided to use the Steelix to save Laura while Temere would defeat the PULSE Abra in a battle.

AVOnzCL.png

In fact, even Team Meteor wanted the Abra gone! It had been causing too many problems for the organization, and with this mysterious "Lin" character arriving, it would be poor to have the Abra upset her. It was time to put the Abra down!

  Reveal hidden contents

After our victory, we ran into none other than the true boss of Team Meteor, Lin! Lin then proceeded to...

Qk0eoJW.png

...talk in a cold and calculated voice...

jioXPnJ.png

...while talking about power...

...and demonstrating said power to show the futility of family bonds...

 

...WAIT A MINUTE!

Here's my problem with Lin: she's pretty much every fan-game anime inspired villain ever. To me, she takes the throne which honestly belonged to Solaris. He was set up so well, so why take away his position? If she was set up slightly better, she (at least to me) would have been more memorable, but as it is, she's really bland. What I would have done differently is make Lin a third party after the keys to the ancient Reborn city. Eventually, after Solaris's defeat to the MC and Florinia/Julia, Lin would come in and berate Solaris for being an inefficient leader. Solaris, placing too much faith in his grunt's loyalty, would let Lin run a mission to stop the MC. However, after her mission results in Ame's death, the Meteor grunts would start to follow Lin more. This would result in a Solaris/Lin battle, where he gets blown away. Lin would take control, and Solaris would be forced to team up with you to stop Lin after a final battle (probably at the end of Victory Road). While she's definitely not a Madame X clone, I still believe that a lot of fan games suffer from this type of villain who only seeks strength (yes, even if Taen and Reukra are better characters, they also fall into this archetype).

 

Still, we used this opportunity to flee from the scene, wanting to heal our party. As such, next time, we'll be taking on Noel for our next badge! Who should we catch? What should their names be? Which six Pokemon should we use for the next episode? It's up to you!

Rant about Lin

 

I love Lin's character the most. You know why? Because she's the true leader of Team Meteor. She's the very top person. Meaning, she doesn't associate herself with lower people. When asked who you were, Sirius said that you were just a new grunt. Then she completely ignores you like you're none of her business. That's because she has way bigger plans and ideas than to trouble herself with a lowlife like you. You're not even close to a threat to her.

The scenario that you said could never happen because Lin has completely established her power over the entire Team Meteor. Solaris doesn't even want to try and confront Lin because he knows that he'll simply get blown away.

According to me, Lin behaves like a true leader, not trying to babysit a bunch of main characters but simply passing on a strong message and finishing the job.

I see the point you make. However, I would argue that her presence is a bit unearned. I like to see it like this: you run into Solaris a couple times before you actually learn his name. He's not an immediate threat, but you can tell that he shouldn't be trusted. In fact, the second time you run into him, he straight up tries to kill you, and would have succeeded if Amaria didn't interfere. With the Garchomp incident, if you're a filthy casual like me (no pun intended), you immediately see him as a goal to reach, as you may want to pay back Solaris for your humiliation...

 

...only for all of that to be stripped away when Sirius says "Oh, Lin's the leader, by the way. We're going to act intimidated even though there was no buildup to her character/established position whatsoever." It just felt a bit strange to change the villain after Solaris's buildup. While I didn't say it in the last part, I feel as if Madame X from Rejuvenation does a slightly better job at this, as she not only acts very similarly to Lin, but is built up from the other admins in smaller ways. Still, it's just my opinion, and I also see where you are coming from.

Chapter 25: A Thorn in our Sides

While our colleagues were in low spirits, we couldn't deter from the mission. Despite Saphira's possible death, we decided that it was now the appropriate time to fight Noel.

sGCKMdL.png

With a new strategy in hand, we quickly went to battle!

  Reveal hidden contents

With our victory in tow, Noel gave us a new objective: to search for Saphira. We decided to heed his advice, pulling out another old member from the box (Phantasos the Deino) in order to get her some EXP with the EXP Share. However, while we expected the search to take hours, as it turns out, it only took minutes!

VQc5KGP.png

Saphira gave us both the Ruby Ring and Amethyst Pendant, both items hunted by Team Meteor. Afterwards, she left, allowing us to continue our journey. We were ready to move forward with our journey, too, if it weren't for a pest...

Just know that Randomus was actually correct. At least that's what I understood from the entire discussion when I read it properly and thought about it. That being said, that Arceus simply blew me away so I had to forcefully side with El.

If possible, side with Randomus , but if it's too much then you could take El

That would be awesome though! That's honestly a very cool ending.

 

Now, as for Radomus or El, I think you should side with Radomus. First of all, he's just a cool dude. Second, I don't like religious fanatics and El fits that description. I'm sure you can beat him (even without cheesing with DB or counter+sturdy). I beat him using endeavour and then I tanked a hit to just defeat it. Make sure El goes through his Full Heals first though!

Chapter 26: Harbinger of Death

Before he could challenge the next gym leader, Temere knew he needed to do some training. Because of this, he trained and evolved a few more Pokemon:

  Reveal hidden contents

With our new evolutions, it was time to fight the next gym leader, who apparently owned a large castle. When walking inside, Temere happened to find none other than Luna, the same girl Bennett was gushing over!

ImhK17k.png

However, that wasn't all! Temere also found both Radomus and...

T9fCCxu.png

...oh, no...

4N94HTO.png

NOT AGAIN!

 

If there's one thing Temere learned from Braixen, it's that you should never rely on a talking Pokemon! They'll always let you down somehow.

 

Regardless, Radomus had both Luna and Gardevoir leave the room to discuss something private with Temere.

M2vQKPg.png

Apparently, El had been possibly abusing Luna as a child. As such, Radomus let her take refuge in his castle, acting "both the role of maid and princess". Before we could continue the discussion, however, we were interrupted by none other than Cain!

gtp006m.png

He had claimed that he had been catching more diverse Pokemon in order to counter Radomus's psychic types. It was time to battle!

  Reveal hidden contents

Unfortunately for us, while we were battling, El had come in and kidnapped one of Radomus's allies...

6k1Chxl.png

Indeed, it was time to rescue-

xLzAzyk.png

...okay, one thing Temere knows is to never trust a guy who happens to have an obsession with hats. That's just weird...

 

...anyway, as I was saying, it was time to rescue-

zNjik6v.png

Oh, I should mention this. Along the way back, we ran into this mysterious red headed woman, who happened to be talking to a Meteor grunt. After we told her that we saw her in the act, she told us this:

O9cxv48.png

On a side note, I didn't know this cutscene was in the game. I'm now thinking that in E17, we're going to get betrayed by Titania, who will attempt to battle us in order to secure the Sapphire key, ensuring the safety of Amaria's life. Who knows, maybe it could also double as a gym battle?

 

...anyway, it was time to rescue Gardevoir! We happened to find El running by the Reborn city gate. We chased him through a tunnel and into a side entrance leading to an ancient temple.

v2QRyoO.png

However, before we could catch up with El, we were stopped by two people: a person named Adrienn and...

 

...Gardevoir?

ygnF05O.png

Gardevoir began telling us that Radomus had not only mind controlled Luna, but also herself to be Radomus's slaves. El had pleaded to us that he just wanted to have his daughter back. With that plea, as well as Radomus's sketchy love for hats, Temere was going to side with El...

BzMlbD6.png
...until Gardevoir decided to open her mouth, because once again, you should never trust a talking Pokemon! With that new information in mind, Temere decided to side with Radomus. Needless to say...

  Reveal hidden contents

Our discovery led El to talk about how he used to be blind. Apparently, as soon as he started praying to Arceus, he regained his vision. Of course, this was a nice, heartwarming-

Of course you will. What are you going to do, pray me to death?

With the battle completed, Radomus was able to have Gardevoir teleport out of her prison in order to subdue El. With that done, there was only one thing left for him to do...

 

...put on another hat...

...seriously, WHERE DOES HE KEEP GETTING THEM FROM?!

 

With that done, our friend decided to head out of the temple, but not before we received an ominous message...

However, as we made it back to Reborn City, Adrienn started to freak out...

sdHqJzT.png

Apparently, the last time xe had seen his city was when it was still thriving. This meant that the chamber had kept xem trapped in time for years! With this new knowledge, xe took it upon xemself to fix the city, no matter how long it would take.

 

Next time, we'll be taking on Radomus! Who should we catch? What should their names be? Also, which six Pokemon should we use for our battle? It's up to you!

Chapter 27: Betrayal

After our victory over El in the sanctum, one question was still on Temere's mind: what happened to him? Did Radomus hand him to the authorities? Did he brainwash him? Or did he-

AFfwrgJ.png

Come on! I was sarcastic about that last question!

 

Despite how anxious this made Temere, fearing that Radomus's plan could easily backfire, this didn't deter him from his objective: defeating Radomus!

  Reveal hidden contents

With our victory, we received our next badge! This made Radomus quite sad that the battle had ended...

bFNVkRG.png

...wait a minute, where did Butler El go? He was just here a second ago...

 

...he faked being brainwashed, didn't he?

GkhR0Rq.png

THERE IT IS!

 

We were in no shape to fight El, who turned out to be one of the Elite 4. Cain decided to buy us some time, fighting El in our steed. Unfortunately for us, El had succeeded in kidnapping Luna. Luckily, Radomus gave us an idea.

7qiFGlo.png

7th Street was considered the Black Market of Reborn City. One would need ties to a gang in order to gain access down there. Luckily for Temere, he had already joined the Aqua Gang!

OzFjhpj.png

Temere used his position in the gang to gain access to 7th Street. While down there, he was horrified to see the abhorrent conditions they were living in. After all, the underground in Grand Dream City was much nicer!

pYj1i1t.png

Don't worry, Cyndaquil! I'll be back for you! I still need 7 more Red Shards...


While looking for Luna, we happened to run into none other than Bennett.

KtY1qx7.png

WSPsNA4.png

He had explained to Temere that they were both looking to save Luna. Temere took this cue as a way of saying that he wanted to save her from El. However, Bennett's true intentions were made very clear soon afterwards...

vTOuUMY.png

DAMN IT, BENNETT!

 

With Temere being captured and thrown in a dungeon, this is where his story would end...

 

...if not for Randall!

Mad7CuG.png

He was kind enough to let us out, giving us another chance to save Luna!

pgwel5P.png

Unfortunately for us, El had prepared ahead in case this would happen. He had prepared a hostage...

Ymxra20.png

Indeed, things looked bleak for our hero. The only people in that room were Temere, El, Cain, Bennett, a chained up Luna, and four grunts, one of whom had a strange mustache...

 

...wait a minute, isn't that-

2sQJdSy.png

THANK YOU RADOMUS!

 

Without hesitation, Radomus proceeded to teleport all of us out of the sanctum. Unfortunately, El managed to swipe Luna's emerald key. Everyone had no choice but to flee from the scene. Before we did that, however, we had to catch another team member...
