The Time Has Come! Our Pokemon Reborn Adventure!

[Autumn Zephyr]

>Next episode's out not even a full hour after I posted my reaction to the last one

Welp, between this and the fact that I'm on dinner duty this evening, I'd say that my productivity levels are gonna be even lower than I initially thought today~

 

Yet more things I always forget: Bugs don't resist Poison. This is why you fact check before you make a fool of yourself, kiddies~! _{Not that I don't do that on a regular basis anyways, but that's beside the point}

 

Anyway, it's now time for the Gym that made lots of newcomers question everything they thought they knew! First on the list, that Rival Battle outta nowhere that made a lot of people really salty at Victoria for... some strange... reason. I mean, really, we knew most of her team going into this fight courtesy of Team Meteor, and she's honestly just trying to be a nice person, so what's the big idea? Well, I think we can agree that I just don't get people, and stick with the fact that this fight is easily the easiest part of the Gym, no?

 

...Uh, apparently not. How'd you get through the Gym puzzle so quickly?! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

 

...That is, by far, the fastest I have ever seen that anorith go down. Granted, I usually see its Seed activate, but still... And goodness gracious- how did Azalea manage to still outspeed Heather after a Speed Boost?! I, uh... Wow. That's all I can really say in regards of just how brutally you crushed this noobkiller of a Gym... Remind me not to challenge you to a battle any time soon!

@Autumn Zephyr Honestly, I've memorized that puzzle since I 1st played through it so it never takes long to get through it. And I wanna say the seed didn't pop because it was a Rainbow Field Effect when it came out. But yea. I find her hard when you don't EV train your mons but when you do, she seems easy. But then again, she was apparently nerfed in E18.

[Autumn Zephyr]

Oh, I knew why the Seed didn't pop- that particular comment was more of a 'that's not what I'm used to' type of deal than a 'I have no idea what just happened' one. I think the Rainbow Field pops Magical Seeds? Either those or the Elemental ones- either way, it doesn't work with the Telluric Seed the anorith's holding.

 

This is the first I've heard about Shelly being nerfed, though- maybe the anorith isn't holding the Seed anymore in the first place? That seems like a decent place to start in terms of nerfing her without ruining her gimmick...

[J-Awesome_One]

So I'm gonna do 1 more Episode and then I think I'm gonna do that week off. (Even though I kind of already did a week off due to EV training)

[The Swordsman]

Ah I didn't know the Magma Gang was the self proclaimed robin hood types, if I would've known that I would've teamed up with them but their grunts didn't do a good job of swaying me to their side, instead making me think they were just a gang. (so I figured I'd go with Aqua since they at least had a family dynamic going on) I don't get the hate Victoria gets either Autumn Zephyr. It seems really odd and selfish.

I think it's because she's always trying to stop you from continuing with the story. Sometimes it's justified and other times, it's annoying. But some people take it as annoying ALL the time.

[The Swordsman]

Well even though Ribbion may not of gotten alot of those important heartscales, at least Arceus has decided to bless him with his plates of ground, rock, steel and water.

[J-Awesome_One]

Ok. I've realized that I'm just having too much fun to just stop soooo... I'm just gonna keep going until I feel like taking a break. Something tells me a lot of you won't be disappointed with that. Haha.

[Autumn Zephyr]

"So... little... energy... The coronation... used it... all up...!" Maqqy, slaking

EFS, Sr. continues the trend of the first generation being pretty solid right out the gates, and with a sleek'n'keen coat to match! ChaoticAngel, on the other hand... kinda lives up to the name- died surprisingly easily in prior timelines, and apparently posses just enough Defense to handle this one, but at the cost of offensive presence and mental endurance... That max Speed, though- Corey did look like he had a hedgehog for a head.

 

Dimensional anomaly rocks= more convenient than sliced plumbing? Well, if that ain't a low bar to leap over, I dunno what is!

 

Fern: a young man who laughs at suiciders, picks on traumatized children, holds vital information hostage, and disrespects the LBTQ+ community. He's under 18, right? And his parents are nowhere to be found? Why, I think I know just the place to refer him towards! It's a shame that Grass resists Electric...

 

Wait, I thought that the Heart Scale Glitch was patched up with the last bug fix? Hmm, apparently not...  Finding an Amplifield Rock already seems like a bit of a lucky break, though- at least, it would be if it weren't for the one behind the solrock... Still, they should come in handy should you ever find yourself working with temporary changes in Field Effects or one of the Rooms, no? The loss of that Max Revive is gonna suck later on, however...

 

>Leaving poor babs with hangry bears

I'd feel bad, if I didn't really care for the line. Especially the evolved form. Ah well, at least it's (presumably) a decent source of essential minerals...

 

Even in death, Corey can't quite seem to keep his footing around heights. What a poor, poor soul...

 @Seal @RuinedRuiner

 

Swinub and Zorua were bred before this episode.

[The Swordsman]

I always held the theory that the anime is a show in the game's universe as well and if that ever turns out to be true Cain would be the perfect fit for either the song writer or lead singer in those songs for the pokeverse. That aside, although Mamoswine may of lost its shiny coat, it gained the powerful Icicle Crash in return and Dr. Connal really should've realized before hand that there would be objections to his...treatments. He may be polite and know the law but I'm surprised he hasn't run afoul of the law himself before Ribbion got there. What he is doing can't still be legal, can it? As for the interview section at the end when I first played the game after seeing that I expected for it to be revealed that Gossip Gardevior is his wife somehow turned into a pokemon and that is why she is able to talk but I doubt that is the case anymore.

Alternative Title: The Obsidia K9 Unit Strikes Again!

 

It would seem that EFS Jr. doesn't have that glimmer his progenitor had, though that's hardly a surprise. Seal, though... you really oughta get some medication for the kid. Endless Insomnia can't be healthy for anyone, nightbird or otherwise! On the other hand, RuinedRuiner is actually a pretty fitting name for a slightly corrupted combat program, don'cha agree?

 

"Get outta here, Magma scum!" Hmm, I'm not sure how a violin-bug and a not-so-woolly mammoth scream 'magma', but whatever you say, kid. It seems we don't even need out Illusions to make you delusional!

 

Alas, poor Cain. Pretty much everyone seems to reject him these days, even though he only means well. Though, uh, Dr. Sigmund, if I may... what makes you think a lawsuit is gonna have any amount of success in this city? Oh, and on the criminal record thing, that is both hardly detrimental within he confines of the community due to the overwhelming abundance of such legally immoral individuals, including, I do believe, yourself. After all, isn't electrode-less electroconvulsive therapy, administered without prior use of anesthetics, considered illegal in the vast majority of first and second world nations? Oh no, Doctor, you are no more exempt from the law than we are- merely more financially able to defend yourself. Which, of course, means absolutely nothing to ol' EFS here~!

 

ChaoticAngel's Illusion copied Shelly's volbeat? Well, uh, I can't say I was expecting that one- not that the Orderlies had much room to expect it or not themselves!

 

One of these days, Charlotte's gonna realize that Cain was totally correct this day, and become the blazing Prince she was always meant to be! Just, not Cain's. That Princess has his sights set elsewhere, methinks.

 

"I've already taken the liberty of contacting the authorities..."

Aaaand, that's another mistake to your growing pile, dear Doctor! Even if they weren't a bit tied up with regrouping and trying to help reestablish order in the run-down ruins of the Beryl and Jasper Wards, they kinda owe us quite a bit for helping calm those situations in the first place! Calling upon Denmark to try to protect yourself from little ol' Germany here, isn't gonna help you out, Francey~!

 

Spoilers for later in the game, for those to whom have this as their first journey:

Spoiler

I can't help but wonder if this interview is the basis for Elias' plot against Radomus in the Citae d'Astrae? Gossip hadn't shown any particular signs of aggression before (aside from the interview with Bennet, where they were like bickering siblings), and while this was simply a small fit, it does betray the nature of their relationship before the public...

If Porygon isn't used in at least 1 gym battle imma be upset.

 

Nah just messing with you. I know that until it evolves it's more or less a meme. Although it may be useful to turn on the lights in Shade's gym Speaking of evolving, fyi you get the Upgrade after beating Noel in Tanzan depths, and the Dubious Disc in the glitch world (quite fitting huh). Alternatively the eviolite can be found before battling Adrienn from a dive spot.

 

Quite a good series all around so far. I've been checking in every so often to see how the team is progressing. I enjoy reading the blurbs @Autumn Zephyr adds for every episode as well

[J-Awesome_One]

1st, let me say thank you to @RuinedRuiner for telling me where the evolution items were cus I honestly had no idea where they were.

2nd, whenever Episode 15 is uploaded (busy day today so it's possible it might not drop til Tuesday), that is when I'll be taking my break because I'm starting to get the urge to get back to my "My Awesome Pokemon Adventure" written story run.

[J-Awesome_One]

Hey. Just curious. Is there any new Pokemon in Shade's Gym? I know the Magnetmite have been moved to somewhere later in the game. I just wanna make sure.

[Autumn Zephyr]

I'm fairly certain that voltorb, yamask, and duskull are all new there... I just don't think any of them are on Ribbon's to-train list. The location after that, on the other hand...

[The Swordsman]

There is also togedemaru.

[J-Awesome_One]

Ahh. Thanks you 2. Yea. None of those are on the catch list. Btw, something came up today that I didn't expect so either expect a video when you're sleeping or sometime tomorrow say like late morning/early afternoon.

[J-Awesome_One]

Ok. Got busy as soon as I posted the above yesterday. 1 will be uploaded today. Training right now and watching the Reborn Penta-op as I do it. Then I will be recording and editing and uploading.

[J-Awesome_One]

So depending on how you look at this, I have good news and bad news.

Good news: I finally got done recording the video.

Bad News (At least it feels like that to me): I spent about 3 days training my Pokemon… for like a 6 and a half minute video and if any of you remember where I left off in the last 1... You can only imagine why it's so short. xD

[J-Awesome_One]

 

Murkrow and Porygon were bred before this Episode.

 

Btw, just to see if I get laughs from this, out of all the gyms I've challenged so far, this was the 1 I was worried about the most so far...

[Autumn Zephyr]

Alternate Title: I See Dead People... Eventually

 

Goodness, klink waits that long to evolve as well?! After my experiences with tynamo the other day, I can't help but wonder if Chargetone Cave just doesn't like being big... Oh, and how about an attempted meme?
*Slaps Seal*
"This baby can fit so much luck in it!"
_{I don't know if I'm even doing it right...}

 

*One murder montage later*
Hey, Mr. Shadow! I've got a couple favors to ask... ya...

*Looks at gengar*
Didn't I just see you?

 

Wait, did Shade always have a banette? I don't remember there being one, but I can't think of something that would've taken its place in my memory either...

 

Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting ZEL to survive that +2 STAB, Field-Boosted Shadow Claw, yet alone with as much health as it did! Guess klang really earned its praise for that matchup, huh?

 

Aaand, all our friends are gone, and it's partially our fault. Next time: Let's rescue some children one more time! May the reaction post be better than this one~!

 

Current Death Toll: 7.5 (Corey's alive again, but not human; what else am I supposed to say here?)

I wonder if who or what Shade is will ever be explained and why, unlike Lin, his powers don't bother me in the storytelling department even though he is almost as bad as her in that regard. I also wonder what Heather would think of him cursing her dad into being a Gengar or naming his after him to mess with people?

[J-Awesome_One]

Sooo question. With Shuckle, is it better to have Shell Smash or Power Trick? I feel like Power Trick would be more beneficial because even with Shell Smash, I assume it's Attack, Special Attack and Speed would still be pretty low. Power Trick would at least make its Attack horrendously strong.
