I had never actually heard the full song for Driftveil Bridge before and there's a whole section of this I don't think literally anyone would hear otherwise. It's pretty nice, even. not the only bridge like this... And hey since we saw Charles (the heartbreaker), here he is in the anime   he's literally just kamen rider

Part 12: Digging For Deer Life  You, great! Take this! Should have something at level 30 by now, so this is a great pickup. Let's see if we can't make Zinzolin talk.  Ghetsis Encounter  I am Ghetsis, of Team Plasma. I've come to pick up my associates who are in your care. I don't need no thanks, now. Yer buddies were tryin' to steal some folks' Pokemon. What's this? It seems as if there has been some misunderstanding. We only free Pokemon from wicked people. Well, that sounds real nice, if it's true. I may not talk purty, but at least I'm an honest man. You talk real nice, but what yer sayin' kinda sounds like lyin'. So tell me plain, what are ya tryin' to say? Team Plasma also has an interest in Driftveil City. And we have many, many more members besides those who are here... ...well, I can't tell if yer lyin' or not, but I reckon you've won this without a fight. Hrrmph. Fine. Take 'em and git! A decision worthy of a businessman called the Miner King. Your grasp of the situation is outstanding. Well then, we will be taking our colleagues off your hands... Don't worry, my fellow servant of the king... we are two of the Seven Sages, are we not? Well then, everyone, I expect that we will meet again somewhere. Say, why don't we cheer ourselves up with a Pokemon battle? Don't keep me waitin'! Well, we avoided a fight in the middle of the city, anyway. Still, I can't help but think Ghetsis isn't just an ordinary person. I'm off to go make my Pokemon stronger. I really don't want to lose to that Clay guy. Actually, I'm going to win my Gym Badge in a flawless victory! Pokemon Gym  Hell yeah, 5th Gym, we're blazing through these. Now don't compare my team's Ground/Steel matchup in the same way you did my Electric/Flying matchup!   For now, I'll just give you this! The Gym Leader Clay uses Ground-type Pokemon! Well, just between you and me, Ground-type Pokemon aren't good against Water-type attacks. Kinda makes me wonder why Clay is living next to water.  Let's go down under.    Get on the elevators, and go down and down! A Trainer's spirit means take it as far as you can! Well since this guy walked on we'll bring him with us. Yay companionship! At the proper distance, of course.  When the elevator goes down, my spirits fall... if you want to know why Clay is at the bottom, defeat me!  Ah dammit of course the Dark type has STAB.   Clay is waiting at the bottom because... he wants to remember that he was at the bottom in the past.  Sometimes that's what I do in this Pokemon Gym.     Time for the second crafty croc, you won't have this for too long, but it has enough Atk and Spd to leave its mark, especially since you just learned Crunch. While Dig isn't great, you get Bulldoze from this very Gym so that'll do you very nicely until you get some extra in Foul Play before evolution. Otherwise there's not much else, there's Low Sweep and, ugh, Rock Tomb as coverage options, or you could go classic and use Return. Due to how fragile and how many weaknesses you have, it can start falling behind but if you're able to rip and tear, there should be no issue. Truly the duality of man, it's pretty drat great when there's not Grass, or Water, or Fighting... or Ice... or Bug...  When we lose, I apologize to my Pokemon... it is important for our future, and it helps me grow strong! Due to a couple of immediate dead ends, it's a very easy Gym to get through, none of the puzzles in this game are massively difficult and I guess that's fine? The less Veilstone and Snowpoint, the better.   Case in point, this immediate clerk pickup, I hope his rates are good.    Oh, no... I've found someone who's out of my league!  AWW YEAH, the beauty of having a cocoon Pokemon that doesn't suck is it's fun to use but still evolves early! Man bugs are good in this game. So Scolipede is a fast little-   "With quick movements, it chases down its foes, attacking relentlessly with its horns until it prevails."    Uh, no, stop acting like your have your Gen 6+ HA, it's pretty busted! So Scolipede is a fast little bugger that also takes some physical hits and gets a nice variety of moves to work with. When we get to the Move Relearner, eh, somewhat soon, then it can learn fuckin Megahorn. Poison Jab, while definitely not on the same level, is still a great move we'll be getting somewhat soon. Otherwise it gets some great stuff like Earthquake, Rock Slide, Double-Edge, and even some weird stuff like Rock Climb, Swords Dance and Solarbeam. Its higher stats let it carry Bug Bite and the like a little further until we get to the good stuff, but with Bulldoze soon and Megahorn later, this is a big bug you can't ignore.  "And he scolds me all the time." Peaks a bit early, but those are stats that can carry for the rest of the game, no doubt.      Agh, so frustrating! Maybe I'm not skilled enough... I started Pokemon battles after I grew up, but I got so into it! Alright, just the leader left, so down we go.  And down...   And down... okay we're here.  Think it's about time to see fer myself what it is about yer skills that made a Gym Leader like Elesa take such a shine to ya. Gym Leader Battle   Clay: The Underground Boss From, uh, clay, finely grained soil containing aluminium that develops plasticity when wet. Yakon: Underground boss From yacón, a root vegetable, and 坤 kon, a trigram in I Ching that represents earth.    Good start, I don't mind using whatever for the first two mons since I'm not that worried about them. It's the last mon I'm slightly terrified of, but we'll see how it goes.   Swagger is annoying, but Gamera doesn't mind Bulldoze much since Aqua Jet ignores it.   Milli is the first heavy Pokemon we've encountered, if it weighs more than 150kg, it'll crash into battle with a heavy thud. There are two other sounds for Pokemon lighter than 50kg and then one inbetween, but they're less noticeable. A Pokemon holding an Air Balloon make no such effects, which is weirdly cool.      Time to die it seems. Excadrill is probably one of the most terrifying mons in the series, it might not look as much, but it uses its Sand Rush/Force abilities to become a brutal sand sweeper that's been banned in some gens due to how oppressive it is! Sand Rush is the same as Swift Swim, making it a ridiculously fast mon to pair with its ridiculously high Atk, while Sand Force isn't as terrifying, but still boosts the power of Rock, Ground and Steel moves, effectively giving Excadrill a lite third STAB to work with. The former is used a lot more and with Swords Dance, Earthquake and Rock Slide it's hard to see why Sand Force isn't as useful. Oh yeah I guess it has Steel moves, but it prefers to use its typing defensively, it could only get Metal Claw until B2W2 tutors blessed it with Iron Head. But outside of sand, it's much more manageable, even if it's still scary as hell. Getting Earthquake for free 5 levels after evolving is pretty drat nuts and Swords Dance right after makes the rest of the game a breeze, even with its lower defenses, since its high HP give it a bit more bulk than your opponent would like. It doesn't get many more tools until later, but it got all it needs in the space of 10 levels so if you want to add on some bonuses like Shadow Claw, Brick Break and Aerial Ace, feel free to. Drilbur starts off pretty rough, but with enough care and it being found as a high level very soon, you can have a pretty strong mole that can tear up the scene if you want to teach it Sandstorm. Maybe later we'll find a Pokemon that creates sand when it enters the field, but that sounds a bit overpowered, right?   Alright that's my counter to Excadrill OHKOed, so what exactly am I supposed to do here?   I can start chipping it down since I can outspeed it in some ways, but if your main counter gets hit by one Bulldoze, it's usually getting outsped immediately and becomes a lot less useful as a counter.   I wanted to use up both potions before this, but it gives me a free turn for Lick to work its magic, there's a reason I still have this move! Being immune to Thunder Wave and Toxic makes something way harder to deal with, but I suppose you could use Stun Spore?   But with some luck and a few neutral hits, it goes down. Oh boy that was scary, especially because Hone Claws makes Rock Slide much more accurate, it doesn't even need a Steel move with how deadly it can be! Still, your team should be forming nicely and you should have an answer or two, they did give you Revival Herbs and Moomoo Milk for a reason! Pokemon Gym Fer such a young 'un, ya have an imposin' battle style. I know ya got people who can dig up yer potential. Mrmph. Here! Take this!  So this is yer fifth Badge, huh? If that's so, Pokemon up to Lv. 60 will obey ya. Also, I'll give ya this TM. ...well, that was the plan, but I just remembered there's somethin' I want. Wait in front of the cave at the end of Route 6, wouldja?   "remember the battle!"Slight pain, Milli could really use that TM, but we'll get it pretty shortly, so it's not a big deal.   With 5 badges we've unlocked most of the shop inventory, only thing missing is Max Potions at badge 7 and Full Restores at badge 8, meh. Gimme those repels!    Oh, hey! That's Driftveil's Gym Badge! Oh, that's totally cool. That's amazing. No, no, no! I can't get distracted being all impressed with your shiny new Badge! I'm also a Trainer! At times like this you battle, right? Rival Battle  Alright, time for our eleventh rival battle! Don't believe me? This is our fourth Bianca battle and we've faced Cheren four times and N three times, he's a rival, no further questions.   Boiling hot water doesn't care about Intimidate.   They didn't even give our rival's starters the pledge moves? Probably for the best.   Again these fights are so whatever, just some bonus exp I guess.   Of course.      Here's sleepy moonpig, like most stone evolutions, Musharna is tricky to use since it doesn't learn anything, so the best time to evolve it was when it learned Synchronoise at 25? You can see what it does with its stats, so Psybeam will ddo some damage at least, but unless you carry a Munna all the way to level 37, you won't get Psychic until postgame. Hell, there's a lot you won't get, Shadow Ball is lategame and Energy Ball and Psyshock are also postgame, so yeah, that sucks a lot! It has a high enough SpAtk that it can work with the weaker moves until then, but I'd advise just using something else instead, it's pretty miserable. At least with Moonlight and Charge Beam you can slowly but surely overcome your opponent, but with how slow it is and how mediocre it is for most of the game, can't recommend.  I haven't had a Pokemon battle with you in a while, Touya. You've become totally strong, huh? I'm not that strong, so I don't know how to say it, but I think you're way tuned in to how your Pokemon feel! Oh, you know what! I want to share this HM with you, Touya! My papa gave it to me after he tried to take me home that time. I'm sure it's so I can come home anytime he wants, though... oh, hey, I have to share this with Cheren, too... see you, Touya! Buh-bye!  Ah it's good to finally have fast travel, hi mom, bye mom. We won't go back to many places since we're missing Surf and we only had the one Strength boulder to go back to, so we'll just quickly pop back.  "have for us next time she comes home."All you need is a hot model to say some vague platitudes and a staunch boomer will completely change his way of thinking! That's how it works!    Protect is a move that completely prevents an attack from hitting! Well, there are a few exceptions. Some moves, like Feint, can still hit even if Protect is used. Keep up the good work! Route 6 Spring / Summer / Autumn / Winter It's a new route and some new music that barely changes with the seasons!   "The color and scent of their fur changes to match the mountain grass. When they sense hostility, they hide in the grass."    Deer oh deer, here's a new mon that has more to talk about than it needs to. Deerling isn't too impressive statwise, but has some interesting moves to keep it afloat. It has some cool coverage in Faint Attack and Jump Kick, letting it do a lot of overall damage and works great with Take Do- I mean, Return, obviously. Ahem. It doesn't get physical Grass STAB until a bit until it evolves, but you're not using this form for long, so it's a relatively smooth path to then. As a Normal type it gets a bunch of TMs but most of it is special garbage like Shadow Ball and Grass Knot, pfft, whatever. Like most forms it's completely cosmetic so go with whatever deer you fancy.   Finally, I can use more Net Balls even though a Quick Ball is way better!  "These mysterious Pokémon evolve when they receive electrical stimulation while they are in the same place as Shelmet."    Not all Gen 5 bugs are created equal. Now don't get me wrong, Karrablast is pretty good, but it does have a few things setting it back. Firstly, trade evolutions are only so good when you can do them, and it requires a specific Pokemon that won't be around for a while, Gym 7 in fact. This works against it since you would prefer to evolve it asap as its stats are pretty freaking bad, and evolving it before level 37 nets you Iron Head, saves a Heart Scale at least. What it gets is also at odds since its main STAB is Bug Buzz, which while good, it also isn't with those stats, so you'll be relying on Slash or Return. Thankfully it gets some useful moves in X-Scissor, Poison Jab and Aerial Ace in short TM succession, so I can recommend it easily enough, but because it slows right the heck down, and you can evolve its counterpart as soon as you get it, this becomes a trickier mon to recommend, even if there's really not much stopping you from using it.   What exciting experiments are occurring on this route?    When the wind blows, seeds fly. When seeds fly, flowers bloom. When the flowers bloom, we'll get seeds. Everything is connected!  Boy do I want Surf soon.     Oh thank the lord. Fire Pledge was useful for like 3 fights, so we'll get a better move instead. Or, well, it'll get much better in 5 levels when anything lighter than 75kg will take more damage than Flame Charge, but it's nothing too exciting.      You hear the sound of breathing Pokemon and plants.   Ah, hear the sad melody of a total defeat... Rain is a wonderful melody that nature plays! [musical note.dll]  Ah geez what are all these nerds doing outside, don't they know the only thing to do out there is Go.   Why don't you go discover something else?  Are you ready to learn about how much seasons affect gameplay?  Consider the Pokemon called Deerling, which lives in this forest. Its appearance is said to change according to the season. This characteristic is of great interest to us. We want to research this Pokemon and observe its seasonal changes. That's why we developed a marvelous climate-control system that transcends the seasons and allows us to freely adjust temperature and humidity! Up to this point, everything has been fine... but we are very busy, and we haven't really had a chance to catch many Deerling to study. So, this is what we would like to ask you. First, please capture a Deerling. Then, when its appearance changes, could you bring it to the lab? Then, when we've confirmed the change to the Deerling you bring us, we will also go search for that season's Deerling. How about it?  That sounds like an investment, so let's start right away, changing the seasons is pretty easy, you just change the DS clo- I mean, uh, patiently wait an entire month. That's why this update took half a year to make or whatever.    The mechanism of rain, and the science of changing seasons... nature is full of wonders.Any trainers with Deerling and Sawsbuck will update their look with the season, and ones in your party will change if they're in your party when a season changes. So keep them in the PC to keep a specific form.      Anyway let's catch all 4 Deerling, because I made these templates and dammit I'm gonna put them in! It's kinda cool that it changes with the seasons, but since this feature was immediately dropped in Gen 6, it's a little harder to justify when wild Deerling will forever default to Spring. Also they don't put it in the games so they don't have to think about it, cause Summer Deerling in Alola would've been fun, then Autumn Deerling in Galar and Winter Deerling in Crown Tundra would've been a way around it. Maybe? Oh whatever.      This is a form you're likely to see since Winter is the important season with the other 3 having little gameplay impact otherwise. Of course each area changes somewhat with each season and it's really cool, but I understand why they absolutely would not make 4 maps for every single area for future games and stick to biomes.      And then the basic one, there's lots of subtle differences in each area in each season, like sometimes it snows or rains and sometimes not, it would be nice to show what each area looks in each season, but no one's really made full maps of each area like that. I could've done a season forecast but, one, I just thought of that, and, two, I'm too deep in that I can't be bothered. Anyway, that's all four deer or whatever.   The luster of its body and its coloring is like a thicket in summer! The scent emanating from it is also very fresh and green. The luster of its body and its coloring is like a tree-lined road with falling leaves dancing down! The scent emanating from it also like dry leaves. The luster of its body and its coloring is like the slope of a mountain! The scent emanating from it is also like fresh snow. Thanks to you, we've caught all the Forms of Deerling. Now we can thoroughly study the relationship between Pokemon, seasons, and climate. Thank you very much. This isn't much, but please accept this. This is the only place in the world where you can see Deerling's four seasonal Forms at one time. They've kind of become our mascots! Well that was kinda fun, I guess, but I spy a lot of items in the upcoming field. Since we're over halfway with our adventure, we're halfway through the seasons. SEE WHAT I'M DOING?! It also puts me on a slight timecrunch to put these out, but I have a bit of leeway to when it'll be Winter.      NANI?! Well we've found a cute mimic and it's pretty alright. Evolves a little late for the stats it has, but it's a relatively even spread and it's about to learn Giga Drain and Toxic to pull weight. It's not very interesting, only learning a few TMs, but once you get Sludge Bomb it'll be much easier to use, though since that's still a while away, it might be better to catch it later. It has Faint Attack and gets Clear Smog just before evolving but otherwise is a relatively tanky mon with Synthesis and Toxic, it's passable.  "It lures people in with its Poké Ball pattern, then releases poison spores. Why it resembles a Poké Ball is unknown." That's about it for mons on this route, though we can get Unfezant through rustling grass, as well as Leavanny.     Aquatic sports with Pokemon! Nothing is more fun than that! It's 100% impossible to live without Pokemon. Oh neat we- hey wait a minute we just got one of these! And Pansage is the only Pokemon that evolves with this, goddammit!!!  NANI?! 2   Where there's one ranger, there's another nearby to give you the same item.      When we are surrounded by green, we feel more energetic. Don't you think? Thank you, Mother Nature! Let's keep winding around this river we can't cross.    Know what? When I gave my Minccino a Shiny Stone, it evolved and became a different Pokemon!  Free healin', we're gonna need it cause it's cave dwelling time!   Don't know why there's a nest here, but if there are folks havin' problems, th' Gym Leader's th' one ta fix it. Krokorok! Take it out! And this here TM's yours. It's my favorite TM, so ya can teach it ta all of yer Pokemon! It's called Bulldoze. This move does damage and lowers the Speed of any Pokemon it hits. Some Ground-type Pokemon move a little slower than ya'd like. If ya use Bulldoze right, ya can cover that weakness! I don't know how good you really are, but if ya think ya can go, go wherever, and if ya think ya can do somethin', keep doin' it. Do things how ya want! Decide yer own limits. Let's head in before we end the update, oh hey is that- GAH! The hell is going on?!   ...I mean since N is right there I can give it a shot.   Did you really need to drag me 4 spaces? The One Who is Captivated by Equations   Ah, yes. That was the Shadow Triad, just now. Ghetsis enlisted them in Team Plasma. Apparently, they were the ones who prepared the Galvantula nest at the cave entrance. Formulas express electricity and its connection to Pokemon... if people did not exist, this would be an ideal place. Right now I feel more like the frozen one! Haha... that doesn't make any sense. Of course. Such news should be a surprise. I told Ghetsis about you and your friends. After I did, he apparently used the Shadow Triad to find out about you. Cheren is pursuing the ideal of strength. Poor Bianca has faced the sad truth that not everyone can become stronger. And you are not swayed either way--more of a neutral presence. Which is apparently a good thing. Team Plasma will be waiting for you ahead. Ghetsis wants to see what kind of Pokemon Trainer you really are. You still have more to say, N?! And have your voice become shrill and higher pitched like someone I kn- oh hey Bianca.  The floating stones move when you touch them! Right, Professor? Juniper Encounter This place is always charged with lots of electricity that Pokemon like! The electric charges react from one stone to another, and that's why some of the stones are floating! But not all of the stones can be pushed. My father asked me to research Klink, which is a Pokemon that looks like a gear, because I'm researching the origins of Pokemon and the era they appeared. He knows how to get what he wants from people, but I was already interested in this anyway, so it's a lot of fun! Oh, yeah! Touya, this is for you! Giving that Lucky Egg to a Pokemon to hold increases the amount of Exp. Points received in battle by a lot! Having strong Pokemon will make it easier to fill your Pokedex pages! Touya! Are you working on your Pokedex? Keep encountering lots of Pokemon, so you can keep filling in those pages! I'm the professor's bodyguard! Well, that's probably not necessary, but you have to protect important things!  Researching Klink, eh? Well ain't that a Klinkidence! That's our next team member!   "The two minigears that mesh together are predetermined. Each will rebound from other minigears without meshing."    Gear. There are some other interesting critters in this cave, but since I've got Milli I won't choose Joltik, otherwise I probably would've. So Klink isn't really all that great due to being two gears that got barely any moves and only does one thing. It does that thing well at least, Gear Grind is a great move that unfortunately has 85% accuracy, but it's effectively 100BP since it always hits twice. That's the only good move it really learns and it keeps getting special moves because Game Freak are morons. It'll have Return and Flash Cannon through TM and that's about it, if this was B2W2 it could also learn Wild Charge, but there's a million better options in that game. Klink evolves late for its stats and then very late for its stats and even then isn't that great, mainly due to godawful coverage, but I like using Pokemon people don't like so I can rub it in their dumb face how much they're wrong. In any case it does get more interesting later, but I've basically gone over everything you need to know about it.   Got a sweet nickname by Blaziken386, though it'll be a while before it'll be able to Shift Gear, as it were, but maybe we can turn on the radio. With 15/21/20/28/12/27, it has ridiculously good IVs compared to the rest of my team and it'll use special attacks just fine right now. Next time, we'll take our new PRNDL for a spin and explore this shocking cave!

Side Notes 04: Mr. Ferris's Wild Ride You know, catching all these Deerling is taking a while, I do have to wait an entire month after all. I need a break... or... a date. I'm sure we'll have some different bachelors if we're a different gender, so let's have Touya and Touko have fun and talk to lots of people. Let's go to the Ferris wheel!Spring/Haru - Male - Lass Maya/Miharu   Hey, want to hang out for a while? If you have time, we could have a battle. Sound good? All right! Lucky me, meeting a cool dude like you here. Let's battle right now!  Since you can do these fights pretty shortly after Nimbasa they're no challenge, but doing it around the Deerling collection is two Pidove, one Roggenrola. Wow! Touya, you are so good at Pokemon battles! I want to ask you something else... will you ride the Ferris wheel with me? I bet I get just as nervous asking a guy as a guy would asking a girl... you're OK with that, right? Good! C'mon!   Woo, that was fun! I've been wanting to ride this Ferris wheel for a long time. But you have to have two people, and I worried that if I went with my friend, she'd see how scared I was. Embarrassing! Then you came along! How lucky is that? OK, I'm still scared of heights, but... with you, it was a little bit easier. Um... want to ride it again? Well wasn't that sweet, these conversations are pretty cool and we'll be going over each one. You can face the same person again the next time the season rolls around, but because you can repeat that as many times as you want and because the dialogue on the wheel itself is the same, there's no real closure. I will talk about any translations from the original since there's a few differences here and there, and one proper rewrite, but they're mostly the same, they can just fit more words in due to how katakana works. So yeah, Miharu in Japanese is basically the same just a little more nervous and apologetic at the end, standard stuff. Second time around she tries to act all cool but while she's still scared, she feels safe with you, same in the Japanese version.Spring/Haru - Female - Dancer Dirk/Haruo   Oh, hey, do you have a minute? I want to ride the Ferris wheel, but it's two at a time, so I can't go by myself. You don't mind riding with me, do you? I don't have anything to give you in exchange, but I've got a great Pokemon I've been raising, so we could at least have an awesome battle. You serious? Aww, thanks! You're awesome! Let me introduce my Pokemon. It rocks!  Ow ow... how is it you're so strong? Er, Touko? Did I get that right? You rocked the house! I know I might not look it, but among my crowd, I've never lost a battle! Here I was thinking you're just cute, and then, seriously, you ruled the battle! That's even cooler! Right! Let's go and ride the Ferris wheel! Oh! Come look here! Look! Ulp, I'm not feeling so good... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Wh-what? Why are you asking if something's wrong? I'm OK! I'm OK! It's all... good. Anyway, thanks, Touko. I figured the Ferris wheel was kid stuff. The view was great... gave me the shivers... I guess this ride is not too bad once in a while. In face, let's ride it again sometime! See ya, Touko! Hmm, get used to this scenario. Very similar translation, it's nearly identical, in fact. Second time around Haruo is more nervous to begin with and is clearly infatuated towards the end. Again, very faithful translation. So let's get into what you're here for, the main rewrite.Summer/Natsu - Male - Hiker Andy/Natsumi  Hi, Trainer. Enjoying the summer? It's sure hot today. That's summer for ya. What? You wanna ride the Ferris wheel? It's for two at a time, so take a friend. What? You want me to ride it with you? Sure, I guess. I'll ride with ya... but you gotta win a Pokemon battle! Sure enough. A little battle practice is a good way to spend a summer's day.  Hey! Your team is strong! Nice job. I'm impressed. You and your Pokemon make a great team. Thanks, that was fun. See ya! What? That's not what I promised? You still want to ride the Ferris wheel? OK, sure enough, I guess... Luckily, I'm not scared of heights. That would not be cool for a Hiker. I'm gonna stay cool. Feel cool on the inside, look cool on the outside. It... uh... it was fun... yeah, great view... what? I wasn't looking at the view? I was looking at my feet the whole time? What are you talking about? You think I'm scared of heights? Nah. That would be lame. I hike on mountains way higher than a silly little Ferris wh-wheel. C-catch you later, Trainer! Hm, that was pretty tame, wonder what the hubbub was all about. Well of course that wasn't the original conversation, we'll go over the entirety of it in just a second. For the second time around Andy is still pretending not to be scared of heights but this time he faints in the car, but pretends he was getting gum off his shoe afterwards. It's pretty funny, but his constant repetition does get a bit old. Whew! You there, boy! How 'bout this humidity, day after day! Can't help but make the best of a summer like this! Eh? So hey! How 'bout you take a ride on the Ferris wheel with me! For free, of course! All I ask is you go up against my best Pokémon, boy! Really now! Boy! You've got promise, I tell you what! Well, instead of a greeting, let's go headfirst into battle! Oho! Boy, boy! Your Pokémon are ripped! Whew, great! Boy! You and your Pokémon are splendid! Wonderful! Can't get enough of 'em! So, now... We've warmed up both our bodies and souls, so... let's head into the Ferris wheel! Come along, boy! Ho ho... sure is humid... like a sauna, boy, I tell you what! Ahhh, it's so hot... you're really sweatin', boy... By the way... boy... you ever had a lover? Man, that thing was way more hot and humid than I was expecting! But I think I gotten to know you a little better, boy! Y'know?! I'm planning on loitering around and about for a while longer! Whenever you feel like improving your understanding, don't be shy, come by and holler! Right! Okay, see you again, boy! ...well, that's different. It's the complete opposite situation and considering all the others are just light infatuation or delve into a deeper topic, this... isn't subtle. Good that they changed it, but of course, there's the second conversation as well, let's go over it. Hey, you came, boy! Summertime doesn't last! Enjoying it? If you're not enjoying quite enough, how 'bout you and I make a summer memory on the Ferris wheel! Really! Oh, really! Boy! I think we're gonna make some big progress in our relationship here! Well, first, in place of a greeting, let's charge into a Pokémon battle! Boy, your Pokémon sure are sturdy! They're fine, they are! I believe there'll be a lot of growth and possibilities ahead of you, boy! Well then, better get on with it... Time for today's main dish! We're heading into the Ferris wheel! Let's roll, boy! Come on! Our shirts are soaked with sweat, but it tells the story of the time we passed, boy! And with this, we've developed a deeper understanding! Our summer vacation together will never end! Well, see you again, boy! What a passionate time we've had, let's never mention it again.Summer/Natsu - Female - Ace Trainer Austin/Natsuki  I can't believe how hot it is! Can you? Say, are you interested in the Ferris wheel? I'm here for the same thing! The Ferris wheel seats two people, so, unfortunately, you can't ride alone. Let me think. Say, why don't you have a Pokémon battle with me? If you win the battle, I wouldn't mind riding with you. What do you say? Battle on? Sure, sure... I'm interested in you because you seem to be so drawn to the Ferris wheel. That being said, I am an Ace Trainer. I won't compromise in battle.  ...what? Gah. I hate to admit it... Losing to you is a complete surprise. Sigh... Looks can be deceiving, so they say... Fair enough. As I said earlier, I'll ride the Ferris wheel with you. Actually, it's my first Ferris wheel ride. Oh! Don't move! We'll fall! Do... not... move... eep... I can't take it. This is my limit. W-w-will you hold my hand? I had no idea. Call me stupid, but I didn't know how scary altitude could be. And...now I know. Thanks to you. I mean, thank you. Thank you for staying calm. Let me ask you something... Let's keep the whole altitude thing between you and me. And then, if you really want to ride the Ferris wheel again, I'll ride with you. Being an Ace Trainer means finding a way to conquer my fear. Strange they rewrote the Hiker scene but left in the absolutely DISGUSTING handholding scene, think of the children! Otherwise yeah similar to the original, though he's a lot more terrified and demanding you stay still. Then he does the classic take responsibility trick so you ride with him again. Second time around he's nonchalant about his fear, wanting to conquer it, but of course doesn't. In the original he's still determined to conquer it even if he thinks we're laughing about it... when the time comes.Autumn/Aki - Male - Clerk F Trisha/Chiaki It's autumn already. Summer goes by so fast... Do you know what I mean? See the Ferris wheel? I've ridden it so many times, but now, summer's almost over and everyone's gone away... Gone to school, gone on journeys. And I'm still here, all alone. I'd like to ride one more time, but I need a friend to ride with. Do me a favor and ride with me? In return, I'll do my best in a Pokémon battle. Aww. Ha ha. Thank you, young man. You have a kind heart. Well, let's have a Pokémon battle! Look out! I'll show you how it's done!  Oh, hee hee hee... you're so strong. Whoops... That seemed like an easy win! I did my best, though. Ha ha. Thanks for the lesson! It was fun. Well, now... Ready to ride the Ferris wheel? I'm not crying. I'm not... sorry... can I sit next to you? Just... just until we start to descend... please... stay... Boo-hoo... This view reminds me of so many things... Sniff... Oh... I'm fine, I'm fine... Oh... I don't even know your name. Well, do you mind my asking...? Your name is Touya... Nice name. I'll be around here for a while. If you don't mind, I'd be happy if you rode the Ferris wheel with me again. Ah, such a tearful one, I too understand being somewhere that everyone you know has already left. No matter, similar to the original though she refers to herself as lady more to accentuate the age gap. But the second time is different in a couple of ways, she is grateful for your company, like you're a little brother she never had. That's... not in the original. See, you gave her your name before and using first names is a big step in friendship, especially for opposite genders, you've probably seen this all the time in those animes. So she makes a point to refer to you by name from the outset and also laments afterwards that she's middle aged and you're... you. Subtle. Of course middle aged in this context means she's like 25 or something, but hey, that's the best part.Autumn/Aki - Female - Waitress Aurora/Akira  It's kinda getting cool... I betcha it's gonna get cold soon. Are you here to ride the Ferris wheel? Me, too. But you've gotta have two people. What do you wanna do? How about we have a Pokémon battle? Win, and I'll ride the wheel with you. Just like that, you say yes? You're kinda confident, hey? Whatever... One battle will show what's what. Let's see what you got on your plate!  Ouch... I'm so uncool... Whew... I was no match for you. Guess I was the one who was kinda more confident than I should have been! I figured I knew my Pokémon battles, but you showed me what is really what! OK, like I said, one ride on the Ferris wheel--over easy. Um-hm... that's right... no way! Then... um-hmm... yes, yes... um-hm... said... I like you... such a lie. It turned out there was... uh-huh... Haah! It was so relaxing to talk with you! It felt great to really let my hair down and have some girl talk for a change. That's what I think--sometimes you need another girl to talk to, and that's that. Hey, I'm gonna hang out here for a bit! If you feel like it, stop by and we'll talk some more! Ooh, fwend. Always good to have two girls shoot the poo poo. Uh, not that I really know what that entails. So long as it's not two girls talking about a guy, which fails a super hard to clear test, apparently, it's all good with me. Similar translation though it doesn't imply she was asked out, just a generic "I liked him." But since it's vague in the localised version, it can go either way! Second time is two friends hanging out, it's nice, though after beating her again she says she's jealous of your smarts, looks and manner and she doesn't have many friends. Same with the original though she talks about how your Pokemon are prettier and slimmer than she is? I think that's a pronoun mistranslation, they're pretty drat common so I don't begrudge them. Also she's "not the type to have a whole lot of friends", implying she's happy as she is, or just accepts the reality of it.Winter/Fuyu - Male - Preschooler Winter/Fuyuka It's already cold out. It would be so fun if it snowed. What's the matter? Do you wanna go for a ride? Oh, I get it. You can't ride 'cause you're all by yourself! They don't let you ride this Ferris wheel by yourself. Hey! I know what! I thought of something! I don't have anything to do until my dad comes back... We could play and have a Pokémon battle, if you want? If you play with me, then we can both ride the Ferris wheel! You do? You want to play with me? Hee hee! I'm happy! Fun! Fun! Let's battle!  Yay! Hooray! Awesome! You're so strooong!! That was fun! Thank you! I knew you'd be strong 'cause you're big! My dad is very strong in Pokémon battles, too! But, he's been busy working, so he doesn't play with me. But you're gonna play with me! Next, let's ride the Ferris wheel! Yaaaay! So high up! Up in the sky! Hee hee. It's fun! Look how far we can see! Look! Please, Trainer? Yay! That was cool! Did you have fun? It's been a while since I had fun. My dad doesn't take me anywhere lately. He just comes home and sleeps. So, I try to have fun here by myself until my dad comes back. Let's play some more! A classic story of a dad working too hard to give his kid attention. In the original this young girl, of course, referred to you constantly as Onii-san, or big bro, as well as actually talking like a young girl, which these games sometimes don't do. Also she asks if she can sit on your lap during the ride, which I think barely toes the line on whether it should be kept. Second time is a little dark since she admits she doesn't like her dad because even though it's just the two of them and he's working hard, he never spends time with her. Like, drat gurl, cut him some slack, even if he is at fault. She's not quite so savage in the original, but she literally says "I love you, big bro!", so extreme feelings either way. She also thinks you're stronger than her dad, and that's the important part.Winter/Fuyu - Female - Rich Boy Martin/Fuyuta  Hi... Pretty chilly out, don't you think? Er... Well... I was wondering if you'd think about... Actually, this is the first time I've been out of the house in a long time. Since I'm out anyway, I want to get some exercise for my Pokémon. And I want to ride the Ferris wheel, too. So... Want to keep me company? Really? Yes? OK! Thanks! You seem like a nice person. Let's start by giving our Pokémon a little warm-up battle for exercise.  Pant, pant, pant, pant... Pant, pant... I'm crushed! It's been way too long since I got enough exercise. But... It was fun! My Pokémon also looks pretty happy, thanks to the exercise. Thank you for having a battle with us. Now, shall we ride the Ferris wheel? I've been looking forward to this for a long time. Krrf! Krrrf! Krrrf! Sorry... it's a bit chilly for me... I think I'm finally warming up. I'm feeling better. Thanks for the company. Touko, thank you. I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble. I don't get out much. My health has never been strong. It's been tremendous hanging out with you today... So, thanks again, Touko. When I feel well enough, I'll be back. I'd love to hang out with you again. Ah, poor kid, looks like he has deadly television cough. It's never specified what's wrong in either version, though he mentions in the original he "just wasn't born with a very sturdy body." Glass bones and paper skin it seems. Big difference is in the car: "Cough! ...Hack! Cough! Sorry... I'm getting a little chilly... Huh...? Thank you... it's warm... You're such a... kind person..." Oh myyyyyyyyyyyyy. Second time around he says he's feeling stronger but can't keep up in physical strength during a battle, and mentions he feels better when he's with you, even sounding forlorn when you part ways, aww. He's much more polite in the original as well, calling you Miss or maybe even -san? The translation doesn't specify honorifics, do Pokemon even use those? ANYWAY, since he says he had fun, he's not feeling so bad. And that is all the Ferris wheel conversations. In this game. Sigh... hope you enjoyed this look into a weird but interesting character spotlight and always ask yourself... have you ever had a lover?

I wonder if Clay removed the water section of Driftveil between games because he realized one of his weaknesses was right there and anybody with could just stroll up and fish something up. Wait... we don't have a rod or surf yet at this point right. Hmm... well, maybe he encountered someone that did. Or maybe a higher power than he is to blame for forgetting to include it.

God, Clay is pathetic. "Oh, you say you have more people? Somewhere else? Not here? Well of course you can go free even though I know you're a criminal, it's not like I'm this city's gym leader with a responsibility to at least try to stop you or anything. I certainly couldn't dream of fighting you if you claim to have more people somewhere else. Even though I have one of the most OP non-legendaries to ever exist on my team." I don't know if the dialogue is any smoother in the original Japanese, but in English he just rolled over spinelessly for no reason. Between that and making us trail after him to get the TM reward, also for no reason, plus his attitude earlier making two random passing children chase down Plasma for him in the first place, I really don't like him.

I'm one of the few people who likes the Klink family's design but also godddd gamefreak why do you only give it special attacks???? Also, I was under the impression Sawsbuck was locked to whatever form it evolved in. Is that not the case? That's kinda lame. (I mean, ideally I would've liked if it was like wormadam, and each form was not only locked but a different typing altogether, but it's not cool enough to warrant that, I suppose.)

Apologies for the incoming nerd moment Going from grey to orange would indicate Klink is made of iron. If it was copper, oxidation would have it turn from orange to green, like Cufant and Copperajah  That aside super glad this is back! These two weeks have felt so long

To be fair to Clay, he's at best a businessman and local celebrity as a ranking member of a combat sport. Ghestis is a high-ranking member of an increasingly-influential cult who's members have recently been causing violent confrontations in increasing amounts and is threatening to call a raid on Driftveil if not immediately appeased to. The only immediate backup Clay knows he has outside his staff are two minors who are completing the basic qualifying steps to enter the 'major leagues' of his combat sport. Getting mad at Clay for just kinda rolling over here is like getting pissed at Connor McGregor for not fighting off an armed chapter of the KKK who are threatening to put out an all-member bulletin for a possibly violent siege of a city when his only backup is a couple of first-years and some employees who work at his gym. Dude's basically the boss of Driftveil but this entire situation's outside his scope to handle without putting an entire city in danger. Something this game does more then other Pokemon games is treat it's villain team as an actual threat instead of some gag organization that eventually gets rolled by a few angry tweens, and we're definitely not done seeing that yet.

Yeah, giving up a few guys to avoid more conflict in his town seems fairly reasonable, if a bit of a quick resolution.

Also, the cultural reference is pretty deliberate. How many cowboy movies start the second act by having the gang of bad guys ride into town threatening open violence if they don't get back the dumbass who got caught harassing the locals earlier by the overreaching sherrif?

Part 13: Charging Our Dreams Chargestone Cave  Welcome back to an electrifying update, here's some ducks that peeps at the LP Beach suggested I use.  With the Lucky Egg we just got, getting PRNDL up to speed will be a breeze, especially since it has Rock Smash for coverage! No, I'm not joking...   We can also take a moment to appreciate this place, drat it looks good and has some fun light puzzle aspects.  "The electricity is charging me up!"  Yowch, a lightning spark! The sources of my energy are my precious Pokemon! This has been scientifically proven!!  Aww, a cute little bug LET'S GRIND IT UP  "Joltik that live in cities have learned a technique for sucking electricity from the outlets in houses."    A tiny terror, at 4 inches tall, Joltik is one of the smallest Pokemon, but you better not underestimate it! Gen 4 is when Bugs got good, but Gen 5 is when they got GREAT, its got a great STAB combination and comes with Bug Bite and Electroweb, with Electro Ball and Signal Beam just up ahead. It does evolve a little late for its stats, what doesn't in this game, but it can very easily fit onto a team and quickly Volt Switch in a bad situation. Not much else to say since it's pretty close to evolving and you've got all you need immediately, so definitely recommend, especially with Compound Eyes!     "to aim for the Pokemon League!"It doesn't show in images but the small crystals wiggle when you run under them, hours of fun.   Hrm.  They say that there is a strong Champion in the Pokemon League. Someday, I will be able to challenge the Pokemon League!     LET IT RIP! Ferroseed is a slow defensive mon that dies to any Fire attack but it's perfectly usable due to its higher than average Atk stat. If you want Steel STAB then this is your mon... since it learns no physical Grass STAB until it evolves just a little later than you'd like. It's not all bad though, this is an excellent wall against some tough cookies and can very easily wear them down with little trouble. Its main issue is its movepool, surprise surprise, since it has to use Gyro Ball or even Metal Claw for a wee while, with Poison Jab, Return or Rock Smash as your coverage options. Once it evolves this mon has no issue tearing through stuff while taking nothing in return, but it's the 10+ levels of mediocrity until then. At least it gets more moves than Klink!     "When threatened, it attacks by shooting a barrage of spikes, which gives it a chance to escape by rolling away." "When it overflows with power, the orange crystal on its body glows. It looks for underground water in caves." That's all the Pokemon I expect to find, we might need to go deeper for another one.  I think we're just about done collecting data. This cave has been around since the distant past, but... data to prove that Klink existed more than a hundred years ago can't be fonnd. So that must mean... Klink suddenly appeared a hundred years ago! Where Pokemon came from and there they are going... if we learn that, I believe we can get along even better! Know what, Touya? Pokemon are mysterious! I wonder why these amazing little guys stay by our sides. I plan on staying here and catching Pokemon! Traveling is about encounters, you know! "and the difficulty of Pokemon battles."  After doing the Ferris wheel conversations I just can't stand Hikers anymore.   So long as PRNDL is alive it gets exp.  In the caves... Pokemon lurk in the piles of dirt! Man this bridge seems long, if only I didn't have to walk across- GAH   Okay.     Okay.   I wonder where Ghetsis finds all these strange, lost childs.   Aha! That made a light bulb go on in my head! When a person moves, electric signals travel in the body! Also, when a person has an inspiration, electric signals travel to the brain!  Going down. Deeper Chargestone Cave   And I am the little brother of the Nugget brothers! Glad you showed up! I want to give you this. I want to give you this, too. That's a Nugget! How'd it get so golden without deep-frying? Trade secret! Nuggetaboutit!  Man this place is weirder than I was expecting.   Team Plasma's up ahead, but I'm not feeling my best, what if I happened to find a free full heal nearby?   However! Let me challenge you to a battle first!  No wait you need to do that on me.  Now, as I promised, I will make your Pokemon healthy. To make people healthy, Doctors go where they are needed. Alright let's throw ourselves into the collection of Plasma grunts. What would that be called, hmm, a paywall of grunts?   Believe me, I wouldn't fight a ton of you if I had a choice.    Ghetsis of the Seven Sages supports our king, and Ghetsis has three subordinates... they are the Shadow Triad!  PRNDL is never gonna need the weight loss and Shift Gear will cover Speed increases. Also, ew, setup moves, who has time for that garbage.  I don't understand... your Pokemon seem to be happy next to you. "Because they are free from people."   It's bad for ordinary Trainers like you to use Pokemon. It's good for us members of Team Plasma to use Pokemon!  My lord N grew up with Pokemon... he thinks about Pokemon more than anybody else!  What do you fight for? No, what do you live for?  Ah geez there's still more...   Don't worry, you're not missing anything.  The hope of Team Plasma! We know our king will lead us. He will free the Pokemon! You! Release your Pokemon and stop being a Trainer!  Because they use Pokemon, people hold competitions to sort out the strong from the weak... is this fair? Is this right? Are Pokemon just the Trainers' tools? Deepest Chargestone Cave  We're near the end, but we'll head to the deepest level for a bit more.   gently caress yeah coverage.   Some Pokemon like to live in this electrified cave... don't you think that people should stay out?  Uh, thanks for another one.  Finally, now I can tackle the Battle Subway!     Neat, Corazon is finally good again.     Oh hey, this thing, we have this thing! So Lilligant is a pretty alright Grass type and it doesn't do much else. If you evolved it before 28 then it gets Quiver Dance and becomes monstrous with its Grass STAB and... that's it. Now, if you get enough boosts, even Own Tempo Petal Dance won't really care about resistances, but you've got to luck into a real good Hidden Power to get any kind of mileage. Like you've got Round? Dream Eater? Its special coverage is absolutely pathetic and it just doesn't do anything else. You can get Sleep Powder as a Petilil for some guaranteed turns of Quiver Dance and try your luck from there, but if you were hoping for a mon that does something aside from click Grass move, this ain't it. Still really good though.  Bits of knowledge about electricity! An electric current runs from plus to minus, and an electron runs from minue to plus.  Can't forget the hidden items in the walls.      That took its time, Tynamo is a little more common on this floor and... it's one of THOSE Pokemon, that gets no moves until it evolves, oh how wacky. Well let's see what it gets: Tackle, Thunder Wave, Spark and Charge Beam. FOR TWELVE LEVELS!!! This could work in a game where it isn't in this form for long, but uh, this is really, really not the moveset or the stats to be babying for another 2 Gyms. The end result is worth it, of course it loving has to be with this garbage, but you have no outs in the slightest, it doesn't learn TMs or Egg moves so it is pretty miserable to actually train. Sure, you can have it cook in the back to eventually become usable, but while Spark and okay Atk would've kept you afloat early on, we're nearly at the sixth Gym, this thing is poo poo!!! It gets so much better when it evolves, but that's because the bar is twice as low.   "While one alone doesn't have much power, a chain of many Tynamo can be as powerful as lightning." That's it for downstairs, so back to the top floor we go.  All the mysteries! In the world! For that purpose! I will keep fighting!  The poor saps in here keep trying to make Klink good. It'll never be good.  I don't think I can solve all mysteries by myself! However! If I can discover something new and help someone, I will be satisfied!  Don't forget about hidden items behind floating crystals. We've got a crossroads and of course since right is the right way we'll ignore it as long as possible.      Mistakes have been made. So for evolving Cottonee before 28 you get... Tailwind. Not as impressive as Quiver Dance, let's be honest, but due to alright offensive stats, Whimsicott is carried, heh, by Prankster. Now most of the time it will outspeed, but you can never go wrong with priority, Leech Seed, Taunt, Swagger, of course Tailwind, it's pretty great in VGC! Oh, how does it do in single player? Well it can work out, it can use Growth and even has a thing called coverage, crazy! Hurricane, Psychic, Shadow Ball, U-turn, Giga Drain from Cottonee, it can work very well, even better than Lilligant in some aspects. But that isn't its main focus, so it probably won't impress as often. Still, if you want some tricky fun before your get stuck in the competitive scene then this is a fine choice, if you can get some Growths up.  I feel down only briefly! I am a Trainer. If I give up, my Pokemon cannot do anything! Right? Alright, this isn't exactly where I was imagining a second date, but it's still pretty good. The One Who is Captivated by Equations That is unforgivable! I will separate Pokemon and people, and black and white will be clearly distinct! Only then will Pokemon become perfect beings! Yes, that is my dream! That is the dream I must fulfill! You have a dream... that's wonderful. I'll learn just what kind of dream you have--in battle! Plasma King N Battle  As always, let's see what he has.   Sturdy that, bitch.   You can tell a lot from someone by what Pokemon they have. Your ever shifting team doesn't so much, but also says everything you need to know.   Worth the Iron Barbs damage.   Is it impossible for me to win while feeling bad about being a Trainer? As if I could pursue the truth with something as meaningless as a battle! As if that could make me worthy to become friends with the legendary Pokemon!  Bianca, you have good ears. I can't believe you heard Touya's voice from that far away. Touya, who is this Trainer? You appear to have no qualms about the relationship between Pokemon and people. You put Pokemon into categories using arbitary rules and think you can understand them like that... the very idea of a Pokedex revolts me. What do you have to say for yourself? Oh, my. Looks like you're not my biggest fan. Your opinion is understandable. It happens to be different from mine, which is equally understandable. How about if all people get to decide for themselves how to relate to Pokemon? You're saying I should just allow people to think whatever they want, no matter whether the Pokemon suffer? I refuse to tolerate the existance of a world like that! But I hope he'll spend a little time trying to understand how others feel. Now, then... I think I'll go collect a little more data. For Pokemon and people to get along better, we need to take steps to learn more about them! Umm, Touya! I'm gonna go with Professor Juniper now 'cause I'm her bodyguard! Mistralton City  Mistralton City: Strewn with Windblown Leaves From mistral wind, a strong, cold, northwesterly wind; alto, prefix for mid-level clouds, and the suffix -ton. Fukiyose City: The city where the winds gather the flowers. From 吹き寄せ fukiyose, a pattern based on flowers and leaves blown and gathered by the wind.  That cave sure was an adventure, but we've made it to the next... city. Well, runway, two houses a city does not make. We could spend most of our money on weather TMs, but this isn't Orre, doubles is a meme format!  "what type that move will be!"Ooh, ooh, let's see if we get anything interesting!  Hey, not bad Corazon, but I think you'll be fine without it, after all he doesn't tell you what BP it'll be, and that's also important!  Now on to one of the most important houses in the game.   One day I can get rid of Cut. One day.   While most of our team isn't fully evolved there are a couple of interesting moves to "relearn".  OH YEAAAAAAHHHHHHH! Milli is gonna love this, though he'll keep Bug Bite since Megahorn is a great nuke, but overkill for most battles. Juniper Sr. Encounter   Let me see your Pokedex for a moment. What do we have here? So, you've found 74 Pokemon, eh? Staggering! You've seen a Klink! You're becoming quite the Trainer. Excuse me! I was a little excited and forgot my manners. My name is Juniper, too! Cedric Juniper. Heh! The professor who gave you the Pokedex is my daughter! That girl has told me a lot about you. It really makes my day to meet you! In honor of our meeting, I'm going to upgrade your Pokedex! Some Pokemon can change forms even when it's the same individual. If you have already seen a form, you can check it with this whenever you want. I also added a function to make searching easier. Oh! I forgot my introductions! Skyla, this is a friend of my daughter's. Touya is traveling around Unova to complete the Pokedex. Oh, I see! So that means you'll be challenging the Gym! Oh boy! I'm really looking forward to it! That's right, Touya. You should challenge this Gym! If nothing else, this Gym is really out there! See you, Skyla. If something comes up again, I'll let you know! Professor, my plane is a cargo plane! It carries cargo, not people! And you're talking as if places like Kanto and Sinnoh are right around the corner! Aww, Skyla. If you keep frowning, your face might freeze like that, and that'd be a shame. People and Pokemon, we all have to help each other out! See you later! It's hard to believe a happy-go-lucky guy like that could be a world-renowned Pokemon professor. Heads-up, Touya. As a Gym Leader, I'd be happy to have you challenge the Gym, but there's something I need to take care of first. Just now, as I was flying the cargo plane, I saw something on top of the Celestial Tower. I'm sure that it is a sick Pokemon! If it is, I can't just leave it there! I have to look into this right away. I'm leaving for Route 7's Celestial Tower. You can come along if you want.  Sure, sure, next update, but I need to show off the new shiny thing! We can cycle through various forms and what you stay on will be what the icon will be in the Pokedex, if it has one. It records any Shiny Pokemon, but they don't have menu sprites, so you'll only see you kept it as the shiny when you highlight it in the dex.  And of course it's useful to keep things proper for the opposite game, if the default dex form is the wrong one. Also, it's that time of the show where I give random facts about Cedric Juniper, aw yeah! He has unique dialgoue if you haven't seen a Klink, but that's impossible without cheating since N uses one. "Staggering! You haven't seen a Klink yet?" When he appraises your Pokedex when you first meet him, he actually notes how many National Pokedex mons you've seen, which you could get from trading or the Relocator. Finally, Cedric is a complete fabrication, he's called Dr. Araragi, same as Aurea Juniper, both their first names are made up in the localisation. And that's all we have for this segment, tune in next time!   Sniff, sniff, hmm, very important, smells like coverage for those desperate for it.  The entrance might look like a window, but don't forget to come here.    If a Pokemon holds an item called Sharp Beak, its Flying-type moves will be powered up! If you are a great match, you can get sweet on Sweet Heart! Meltingly sweet Sweet Heart! If you bring a lot of Sweet Heart pieces, I will trade you for something happy!Uh, yeah, that. One of the IR features is seeing how compatible you are with someone and from that grade out of 100, you get 1-3 Sweet Hearts. Trade 10 to this woman to get a Heart Scale, otherwise they restore 20HP. Neat, but there's way better ways of getting Heart Scales that this isn't worth it. Mainly because you can only do IR related stuff in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo, but I digress.   Well since this runway takes up a large portion of the city, is it interesting?     Nnnnnnnot really...  OH, uh, in Black these are greenhouses instead of empty patches of dirt. Yay version differences! I promise they'll start ramping up and I'm not just playing the game a second time in tandem for the loving laughs.   Here's a move that's banned in competitive cause it lets you remove an opponent in doubles for the rest of the game if you use Gravity after this move. That's it, next time it's a spooky time, just in time for Halloween! ...you mean to say that 2020 isn't at that point yet even though it's been going for 84 years?!

Part 14: Sky High Spirits Route 7 Autumn  You're quite the Trainer. I like you! Take this TM! When a Pokemon uses Charge Beam, sometimes its Sp. Atk goes up. If you're lucky, the power will just keep going up!  On to a new route and a quick beeline to something before we actually go into the grass.   Yes we- wait, hang on.  Obviously I'm not a monster, also keeps continuity for the sequel because I apparently care about that?  Oh! Oh! What a cute Pokemon! Please cherish Emolga, too. Trading Pokemon lets you get to know other Trainers!  Surprised he didn't mention he got a Gigalith, you're welcome btw, but at least we got a second copy of a Pokemon I'll never use! 20IVs in everything but max in SpAtk, and that's the last trade before the postgame! Wow!   Now we've dumped the pete, we've got our full team and ready to explore a route.   Our team is shaping up pretty nicely so we'll tackle anything in our way!   I will grow better and better by fighting Pokemon in the tall grass!  "They have lightning-like movements. When Zebstrika run at full speed, the sound of thunder reverberates." Seeing more evolved mons in the grass as well, it's why I haven't been in a rush to evolve stuff. Also we have PLENTY of time to fill the dex out, this game is pretty big.   Ohhh? What?! That's not a Pokemon, just an ordinary Trainer!  Mistakes were made.  Have you heard that when tall grass waves in the breeze, a rare Pokemon jumps out?  " When they see an enemy, their tails stand high, and they spit the seeds of berries stored in their cheek pouches." Like this? Ah, I'm just kidding, but this route is a slight exception to all the fun stuff you could encounter from rustling grass. Audino, of course, but there's also Unfezant and Emolga, but the former isn't around for Winter, not very exciting.  Don't stand still for too long or you're going down! Well, we have repels, but it's the principle...  I will overpower you with my perfect combination and overwhelming attack power!    Oh hey it's that other battle. This is a Rotation Battle in Black with the same trainer and team and this Swoobat is about to kick my rear end.   Ah, that 95% accurate Air Slash, gotta love it.   The balance of three Pokemon... each with its own role... I still have to do more research.  The tower is just ahead, but a free heal is this way!   99% of the playerbase doesn't give two shits about the Pokedex. Honestly I only do it so there's something to do along the way, otherwise the game would be a little dry sometimes.    I've heard that both Professor Junipers were Backpackers when they were young.  I could walk around these relatively uninteresting trainers, but the content!   What do you let your Pokemon have? What is their style? First, we'll create our own style! Because I am hopeless at social niceties and fashions!  Who's that Pokemon? It's the Lorax!   Give that cutie a little nose kiss.  This is what a tree gave me! It's a slow business, growing a tree. No need to rush. Raise strong Pokemon slowly.  Here's the tower. But first...      Aw how cute, but also how gross. Know what else is gross? This mon's moveset. Unless you relearn Icy Wind, you won't get any STAB until you evolve, though thankfully that'll be Icicle Crash. It's a weirdly alright mixed attacker that gets Brine and Slash to work with along with various TMs, so it's perfectly fine, but we've got a little bit to go to evolution. Its main issue is being relatively slow and fragile, not great for a mixed Ice attacker, but between, ugh, Rock Tomb, Aerial Ace and Shadow Claw, you can make something work. Also you get a mon that's just like you, gross and isn't bothered by it! Celestial Tower  "When it is not feeling well, its mucus gets watery and the power of its Ice-type moves decreases." Still gross. Now that we have a freer camera, we can actually have spiral buildings and cool looking staircases, only took 14 years!   But of course these places contain weird people with weird Pokemon.      Ayyyyyyy, it's an alien. How many extra terrestrial Pokemon are there? Well as far as this one goes, it's pretty okay, I've used one before, its just awfully slow. It has pretty balanced stats which work badly with its late evolution level, but it also learns Psychic before it evolves, which is something a fair few other Psychics cannot compete with. But that's really about it, there's Headbutt, Hidden Power and Zen Headbutt, so off to TMs we go... again. Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Energy Ball, hey these are pretty good. And pretty late! Okay, Thunderbolt isn't that far away so I hope you're not looking for much else and it has some Atk to its name, so Rock Slide and Return could be fine, but this is a Psychic nuke and for a good chunk of the game, that's about all it does.    A lot of energies are swirling around in the world, including hopes and dreams.  The madlads finally put catgirls into Pokemon, we're doomed.   Meow, meow, meow! I am copying the Pokemon I used to live with.  "engage in a Pokemon battle, don't we?"  An Emolga shouldn't be too bad, it's not like it's gonna get to +6 evasion and get constantly healed.   Perhaps I meet people here because of guidance from my Pokemon.    Poor Swadloon never stood a chance...   ...the Pokemon is no longer with me. ...that's not true. As long as I remember, it will be with me forever.  Packed first floor, but so long as it's not possessed weirdos screaming at me...   "Litwick shines a light that absorbs the life energy of people and Pokémon, which becomes the fuel that it burns."    Aww, it's an adorable burner of souls. Litwick has great things ahead but for now it's pretty okay. It starts off fine enough with Flame Burst and Hex, as well as Will-O-Wisp for Hex, but it's a little smol and fragile for this late in the game. Thankfully it doesn't evolve toooo late and learns Inferno just before then, even if it's a terrible move, but because it's a stone evolution and Lampent puts the good moves even further away, it'll need some TM help to catch up. Thankfully Fire Blast and Shadow Ball are all it needs and you get both around the same time, so if you stick with the little candle, it'll impress later on. It is a bit tricky getting to that point though, but we have an Ice Gym soon enough!   Woah, you must be psychic!   Everyone can make the effort to understand their opponent.     When I come here... at Celestial Tower, strangely, I feel the urge to fight. Does that prove I am alive?  Only second floor, but these fights have been tough! Oh, uh, you might think this is the third floor, as an American, but of course I use the ground floor system, which is the one that actually makes sense. Uh, most of the time.   A heart shaped fish?! Hmm, have I seen something like that before? ...nothing's coming to mind, oh well!   OK! Then... time to give your Pokemon some energy! It's wonderful that each Pokemon and each person can do something special! Me, I know how to make Pokemon healthy! Neat, here's where I'd give this to my Ghost team member. IF I HAD ONE! If Tepig hadn't been the choice, of course I would've used Litwick, I'm not crazy!   If you like every Pokemon you're already enlightened.      Dammit Air Slash! Well you kept Solosis around for a while but now you've got a super nuke on your hands, that SpAtk stat is crazy. Now if only it had anything to use it on. There's Psyshock and Future Sight, I guess, but it's still a few levels from Psychic, at least it gets that before it evolves, and that's about it. Thunder, Shadow Ball and Flash Cannon are pretty great moves, but we're, as I keep mentioning, a while from them yet. Still, we're inching ever closer and with that SpAtk, type resistance is more of a suggestion. Otherwise this mon is still slow as poo poo and will remain pretty similar throughout, boy doesn't that sound familiar.  People, Pokemon... even if the world is gone, that is not the end. I feel sure of it.  Lemme breathe a sec... the spirits have calmed down a bit. In a way... the Celestial Tower is a space full of desires to live.  Oh thank-loving-finally, some physical coverage. Tristan's gonna love this!  "both rest here quietly."     A step down from the nuke we just went over, but balanced stats can work just as well. Again it faces the same issues as Duosion but doesn't have the nuke potential to get past it. So it has Psyshock and even Charge Beam to work with initially but will need more past that. Still, Thunderbolt is upcoming and, uh, it gets Grass Knot? Shadow Ball will have to do and it'll get some well needed stats when it evolves, but it's perfectly fine as is.  Pokemon that grew up in Unova and Pokemon that grew up elsewhere--all are precious Pokemon...  I guess? It's called タワーオブヘブン Tower of Heaven in the original, so I'm sure there's some perfect meaning that gets lost in translation.      Similar beard to my grandad, aye laddie. This hard hitting Return doggy will do you well, having well balanced stats and a good variety of moves. Fully evolved, it can get the elemental fangs from the reminder so get what your team is missing, though you can never go wrong with any of them. It has a pretty expansive movepool but can't really use the special half, so other coverage options can include, ugh, Rock Tomb, Aerial Ace and even Wild Charge and Giga Impact. It'll learn Reversal soon if you want to try that out, but otherwise this cutie might not be so cute anymore, but it's still very effective.   Of course, you're either perfect, or you're not me.     "It uses its strong psychic power to squeeze its opponent's brain, causing unendurable headaches." That about wraps up this tower, so let's grab an ayyyyyyy and get to the top.  I was right. What I saw was a hurt Pokemon. Don't worry, though! It's fine now! I gave it a Max Revive, then it felt better and flew away! Hee hee! Don't I have great eyesight? No matter how far away things are, a Pilot's eyes can see them! Oh, that's right! Since you've come this far, why don't you ring the bell? Celestial Tower's bell is for soothing the spirits of Pokemon. Also, the character of the person ringing the bell is reflected in its sound. Come on, don't be shy! Celestial Bells  What a pretty sound. Touya, you are a kind and strong person. It's that kind of sound. I'd like to introduce myself again! I'm Skyla, the Leader of Mistralton's Pokemon Gym. I use Flying-type Pokemon. When you are ready, please come to the Gym. I'll give you a big welcome! Alright, let's take down the Gym, uh, now, the tower didn't really take that long. Pokemon Gym  Just between you and me... Rock, Electric, Ice... Flying types have more weaknesses than people know about. If you use Pokemon and moves of those types, victory is practically yours! By the way, to proceed in this Gym, you climb in the cannons to move forward. The cannons go up, down, left, and right. You can get in them from anywhere!  Alright, being fired out of a cannon, I'm sure it won't be so baaaaaaaaaaaaad!!!   I'm okay, I'm okay! This is kinda fun actually.   Isn't it great that you can experience how flying Pokemon feel?  I'll be stronger if I fight while thinking about Pokemon! Victory will come my way!  Jump good can yield great results.   Trainer! Do you remember what you were told in the beginning? "The cannons go up, down, left, and right. You can get in them from anywhere!" How about that? I am good at imitating him, aren't I? Hmm, wonder why that guy mentioned that. Probably not important.   I am extremely strong! Bring it on!  Another battle of the birds. Well, these aren't really birds, I suppose...  I became a Pilot, making the dream of my younger days a reality... the weight is quite comfortable. Woah, going the only way I can see makes me land in this red square, whatever can I do?   I guess I'll have to go up, since they just mentioned I can enter cannons through simultaneous different ways, even if it's the only time in the Gym it comes into play.        Hrrrrrrmmmmmm, okay, here's a mishmash of weird choices. A clearly physical Flying type with its best Flying STAB being... Sky Attack. That does 70BP over 2 turns, which barely beats out its second best Flying STAB of Aerial Ace/Pluck. No Acrobatics, no Brave Bird and you're not even getting Sky Attack until level SIXTY SIX, so you'll use Return and, uh, that's it?! U-turn is your best physical coverage move, why doesn't this drat bird learn any physical moves? Uh... uhhhhhhh... Quick Attack! Hm. You've got Air Slash shortly after evolving, Razor Wind... Round! What the hell is going on, why is this bird so godawful? STAB Return with that Atk is really the only thing going for it, it gets practically no coverage, no real Flying attacks and slim pickings for Normal attacks. This is just sad.  We can depend on a move that hits without fail when it counts. For example, Aerial Ace and Swift are both surefire moves!  Must... win... the high ground!   Check after check after check! Complacency leads to accidents!  I've heard of jumping through hoops but this is ridiculous!   Oh hey this wall is coming towards me at alarming- ow...   Did you enjoy flying with the help of the Mistralton Gym cannons? They're my pride and joy! This time, let's try something else! Gym Leader Battle    Skyla: The Highflying Girl From, uh, sky, la. As well as skylark, a genus or birds, as well as various planes and rockets of the same name. Huuro: The heavens' flying-high girl. From 風露草 fūrosō (geranium) and 風 fū (wind).   "it's like I'm walking on air!"Well Amnesia makes this mirror a little tricky, but maybe we can get past this.   Aaaaaaany minute now.   Oh what, you could've used Acrobatics the entire time?! Well thankfully Tristan has an invisible Focus Sash, no problems.      Wow, one of two lines in the game to have a gender difference! I don't know why they bothered, especially for a mon they screwed over this much. Better hope for a Modest one if you want to use its, snrk, extensive special movepool.      Well, those are some big pecks. If you decided to crunch your surfer and your flyer into one role, then hey it worked out pretty well, eh? With balanced, reasonably alright mixed offenses and a movepool to back it up, Swanna is pretty alright. Surf is so close, while Air Slash is always excellent, but it doesn't learn too much aside from that, since it gets a lot of status moves before Brave Bird and Hurricane in the lategame, pretty nice. You can make it somewhat physically bulky with Scald and Aqua Ring, but it'll likely drop to any Electric attack and won't get nice coverage in Ice Beam for a long time yet. Still, learning mostly Flying and Water moves don't hurt it in the slightest and it has great HM utility, so if the other glut of Water types don't take your fancy, hey why not.  Well I was expecting Gamera to faint and have Milli lower its Speed with Bulldoze, but apparently Gamera is a loving Quick Claw madlad and takes all the glory. I love it! Pokemon Gym  My Pokemon and I are happy, because for the first time in a while, we could fight with our full strength. This is an official League Gym Badge. I think it will good on you.  With that many Gym Badges, Pokemon up to Lv. 70 will obey you. Wow, hot stuff! Also, as thanks for a Pokemon battle that made me very happy, I want you to have this TM. My present to you is Acrobatics. If the user doesn't have a hold item, its power doubles. It's a pretty technical move. Be sure to compensate for the lack of held item! By the way, when I flew over Twist Mountain on the way to Icirrus City... Team Plasma--is that the name? Anyway, they were heading for the city. What kind of people are they? Icirrus City, where you'll find the next Gym, is past Route 7, just after you cross Twist Mountain. It's a hop, skip, and a jump when flying, but it's a really challenging walk. Heads up! Make sure you're ready for it!  You make it look easy! And congratulations on your victory against the Gym Leader. Not a massively challenging battle, we had the right tools for it, even if I wasn't intending to use them all the way. No matter, six badges is pretty crazy this early, but there's still plenty of game to go! The One Who is Captivated by Equations GAH! It's an enemy ambush!   Am I the only one who finds this terribly painful? Whatever... I'm going to talk to your Pokemon. I've been living with Pokemon since I was born, so it's easier for me to talk with them than with people. ...because Pokemon never tell lies.   : In another few hours the sun will rise! OK, OK, got it. So Touya was born in Nuvema Town, lives with Mom, and was given the Pokedex to start off a journey to see the world. Still, this Simisage trusts you for some reason. That's good! If every person and Pokemon cared about one another like you two do, I could watch over the future of people and Pokemon without having to liberate Pokemon from people who just use them. Ghetsis is using Team Plasma to search for some special stones--the Light Stone and the Dark Stone... These stones hold the essence of two legendary Pokemon. It is said that when they lost their physical form, they fell into a slumber and were transformed. Now, they wait for the hero's arrival... I shall resurrect a legendary Dragon-type Pokemon from one of these stones, and become its friend. That will show the world that I am the new hero. Everyone will follow what I say! My vision is to change the world without using force. Trying to change the world by force will just make others resist. If people resist, the ones that will be hurt are the innocent Pokemon used by foolish Trainers. You understand. Pokemon are not just tools for people to use! As a result... Pokemon and Trainers who care about one another, like you and your Pokemon, will be separated. And that does break my heart a little. We left our treasure at the edge of the runway! Ruuunwaaaay! Ruuunwaaaay! A Technical Machine on the ruuuunwaaaay!  Found it! Just kidding. We don't have a Pokemon, so we planned to hide this TM until we got one. But that would be a waste, so--here! You can use it! We'll get another one from Skyla. Yoooo-ooou can uuu-uuuuuse it! See you! Bye-bye! Hmm, this seems familiar, but with some excellent physical coverage and a new badge, it's time to finally move past this place. Next time we'll head to the next city! Ah, jk, we're getting Surf next so there's lots of backtracking to do!

Skyla's cannon launching you face-first into a wall is probably my favorite Gym set-piece in the series. It also inspired Skyla to be pretty bananas in the manga, where she does things like push Black off of the top of Celestial Tower. And then there was this moment. Me releasin' my Pokemon is none o' your frickin' business, N-man.

A mighty, fierce dragon of course needs a name that is just as fierce: John. (the final evolution of the tiny tusked terror is called Haxorus; "hax" is what many players call the in-battle RNG in Pokemon games and is often used as an excuse for losing; in the Smash Bros. community making excuses for losing is called a "John")
