I'm Allen and this right here is my walkthrough for the VERY much hyped Pokémon Unbound :) a lot has been said about this game, so far mostly positive things and now I get a chance to find out if all the hype really has been worth it. Because I was busy with a few other walkthroughs, I didn't need to rush into playing Unbound when the December 2020 update came out. The January 2021 update is the latest major release, creator Skeli is currently working on post-game content and hopefully that will be as great as the main game. Let us get started! Right before the intro, players are asked if they would like to skip certain cutscenes during gameplay, but the option can be changed at any time in the OPTIONS Menu. After that we get into some history of this game's main region - Borrius. It was at war with the Kalos region, Kalos got the advantage until the Borrian king got some help from a dark force that used its powers of creating portals to send the Kalos army back home. Not done yet, the Borrian king sent his own army through those portals after the Kalos crew and waged a war on their turf. On the Kalos side we then get the story of the Kalos king AZ, Floette and the Ultimate Weapon which ended the war. Back in Borrius, the king had to deal with survivors who wanted compensation but he failed to help them out and so the survivors made use of that dark force to attack the kingdom. The king turned to the Legendary Birds for help this time: Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres. Their power combined with the Plates of Arceus to create a prison for the dark force and to seal its power. The powerless form of this creature (Hoopa) was taken in by the king and looked after by him and his descendants until... 16 Years Ago We get a cutscene showing an indentified man speaking with Arceus about Hoopa. He is worried about it falling into evil hands and so he dumps the Pokémon's Poké Ball into the water and requests that Arceus watch over his child before it leaves. Elsewhere On a beach somewhere we find another character who's having trouble catching Pokémon, how is he supposed to fulfill his grandfather's wish without one? He hopes for a sign and behold, Hoopa's Poké Ball appears. Praise Arceus :) and then in the next brief scene we see Hoopa somehow regain its power and return to full form. Damn. Following that we get some advice for those using specific emulators and then a tip about how our decisions will affect the world around us, noted. Next up we get to create our character and select our preferred game difficulty, which determines the difficulty of Pokémon battles, ranging from the easiest (Vanilla) to hardest (Insane). Lovely xD. A harder setting can be changed back to an easier one in the OPTIONS Menu, but you can't go for a higher setting until the game is completed. Vanilla and Difficult settings will remain available though. Next we get to choose whether to play the darker version of the game or not, apparently it's "grittier" than the normal version. Interesting...but it is recommended that players go for the lighter version if you're not into violence. Fair enough. Choose wisely because this option can't be changed during gameplay. Present Day We're in bed, and while we're snoozing along Hoopa appears and chucks us into a portal! What gangster move is that xD?? The portal sends us to a lab somewhere, it seems we're not the first one to have been sent here via space-time transport. A shady-looking figure in red has one of the Scientists knock us out and taken to a warehouse. Once we're there, Hoopa appears and tries to wake us up but another person shows up to stop it because we're out cold. We find out that Hoopa has been travelling around by means of this person's "Cube Space" to make up for not being able to use its Rings. This person is the same guy who found Hoopa on that beach previously and despite not being Hoopa's true "guardian", he is its Trainer for the time being. Not exactly a friendly Trainer too. After he leaves, we wake up and can move now. Pressing L enables/disables Auto-Run. Instead of the traditional Trainer Bag, in this game we have a Cube. Huh, trendy :) check out the fancy-looking OPTIONS Menu, split into General, Battle and Audio Options. If you're not a fan of the Exp. Share function you can switch to Regular or Capped Gain. Once you're done with seeing all the menus, move all the way south then just to the right to find a Potion. I like that the Item's description pops up when you get one. Back up and head all the way east (on the way, check the small box that's in between 2 blue containers for a Repel) then up to find another Potion. Now go on and let's find out who that red-haired person in the other corridor on the left is. When we get to him we learn that he's unconscious :| hmm, so we leave him for now. Just before going southeast, make a note of that sliding door on the left. We'll need a Key Card with Clearance Level: 2 to open it. The exit is in the southeast section but there's a man in black there, just following orders to keep us here. Go back to the unconscious fellow, this time we notice there's his name written on his shirt - this is where we name our Rival. First of many, perhaps? I'll be calling him Axelrod (I've been watching Billions lately, don't judge me xD) but feel free to name him anything. He wakes up, no idea where he is, but he recognises us and asks if we've seen the exit. He tags along as we go back there and when we reach the man Axe confronts him, but backs off after the man lets out one of his Pokémon (Inkay) as a warning. So we'll have to find another way out. Go up to the central area of this room, there's a crate on the upper left that has some caged Pokémon. Break them out: Beldum [Steel/Psychic] Level: 10 Ability: Clear Body Moves Known: Metal Bash, Tackle, Flash Item Held: Oran Berry Larvitar [Rock/Ground] Level: 10 Ability: Guts Moves Known: Leer, Rock Throw, Sandstorm, Bite Item Held: Oran Berry Gible [Dragon/Ground] Level: 10 Ability: Sand Veil Moves Known: Tackle, Sand Attack, Fire Fang Item Held: Oran Berry Axe thinks we can use these Pokémon against the guard. Starter choice time :) choose wisely because... If you choose Beldum, Rival takes Gible. If you choose Larvitar, Rival takes Beldum. If you choose Gible, Rival takes Larvitar. Decisions, decisions. When you've got your partner we go back to fight that guard for our freedom. We can either team up with our Rival for a 2 vs 1 battle or you can match up against the guard in Singles combat. Whoever he is, he belongs to a group known as the Shadows. Shadow Grunt - Lv7 Inkay [Dark/Psychic] - Lv7 Skorupi [Poison/Bug] Prize: P448 Even though we got a couple of Potions, Axe is kind enough to heal your Pokémon with another one. Then he sends the guard packing and goes on ahead, we'll have our first battle against him when we get back home. Exit. SHADOW BASE ----------- -1F- More Grunts to be found in this corridor as you head south to the next exit, but Axe took care of them already so no trouble from them, nice. Just before reaching the exit we get another cutscene: In another area of the Base we see the Grunt who was guarding us now having to explain himself to the Boss. Doesn't work. Boss assigns Marlon, the same man who had us knocked out by that Scientist, to get someone to visit the PokéMart and pick up supplies as well as a special package which they need for their big operation to capture "specimen UNO". Marlon is to get that package and use it to catch UNO. As for the unfortunate Grunt, he's taken out by Boss' Houndoom... Back to us, we've made it outside and the entrance to the Shadow Base closes shut behind us. Where are we? ((=>WEST BORRIUS<=)) [001] FROZEN HEIGHTS {An Island Town on a Frozen Lake.} ==================== Places of Interest .................. - Log Pokémon Research Lab - Your House - Rival's House HMs Needed: Rock Smash, Cut. Doesn't matter which way you slide onto the ice, you're headed south to the next landing and from there we reach town. Axelrod meets us and introduce us to Old Man Log, the resident Professor who studies Pokémon stats and capture rates. He's also Axe's guardian, for 13 years now after Axe's parents left him with Log. Now that we're here, it's time for that first Rival battle. Ready? ================ >>RIVAL BATTLE<< ================ Rival Axelrod - Lv10 Starter Prize: P400 **BATTLE NOTES: - If he had a specific Starter instead of one determined by the Starter that you chose, I would be including info such as Ability and Moves Known but I will do that for his other Pokémon in future battles. Otherwise I'd need to keep multiple files for each Starter that he'll have xD. ====================================================================== **NOTE: Because of the unique levelling system which is used in this game the levels of ordinary Trainers, Gym Leaders and Bosses are not fixed. A question about the EXP. system was asked in the FAQ section and this was the response: • The game uses the BW scaled experience system. Meaning, if your Pokémon is a higher level than the Pokémon it defeats it will earn less Exp., and if it’s at a lower level it will earn more. • The Exp. Share is enabled by default and can be disabled in the Options Menu. • Because of the Exp. Share totally screws up the level curve, the game uses a dynamic levelling system (based on the relative strength of your entire team) for both Trainers and wild bosses (if you're playing on Easy, just wild bosses). This ensures that random Trainers always stay a few levels behind you (assuming you're ahead of the base level curve), and Gym Leaders' or Boss' strongest Pokémon will always be one level higher than your highest. However, there's a certain threshold from your strongest Pokémon that your team members are only taken account of if their level falls within this threshold. Because of this, it's unwise to try and power through with only one Pokémon, since that Pokémon alone will determine the level curve. I only found out about this much, much later on during my playthrough (while I was in the 8th Gym). So going forward I'll just show the levels of Pokémon Bosses. As for Trainers, Gym Leaders and Bosses just their teams (Moves, Abilities and Hold Items for major battles) ====================================================================== Not a bad battle, even Log thinks so. Axe leaves and without anyone else to run errands for him Log asks us if we could do that. Our first task is to pick up a package for him from the Bellin Town PokéMart. That old classic parcel pick-up run for Professors xD. Log gives us a Repel and suggests we head home to see Mom, she's probably worried about us. After he leaves, we can look around a bit before going home: The building just on the right is Axelrod's home, his sister Melony is there. She's heard about us from her brother. If you check the TV you'll get a report about a Swarm that has appeared somewhere, pretty cool. South from the house is Log's Lab, speak to the Lab Aide on the left near the entrance and after saying Yes twice he'll tell us that he'll give us the "Effort Values/Individual Values" device/a.k.a the Stat Scanner after we have caught at least 100 Pokémon. The Porygon up top grants you access to the Pokémon Storage Boxes. To the north of town is the entrance to an underground highway but the way there is blocked by a tree we'd need to Cut. Our house is on the eastern side of town, there's a Trainer Tips signpost near it and it's important to note that in this game, those signposts play a major role so don't go rushing through places without reading them :) we find Mom in the main room, indeed she was worried about us but is glad that we're back safe and sound. Then she does what all Pokémon Trainer Moms do best - heal our Pokémon. Now that we're all rested up we can get on with that errand. Sadly though it seems that our father isn't around anymore, Mom believes he would be proud of us leaving home now. She gives us a component for our Cube - the Mission Log. Helps us keep track of any tasks we've been given to do, neat. Prof. Log's errand is added in as our very first Mission: >01 A HERO'S JOURNEY |||||||||||||||||||| Location: Bellin Town - Get Prof. Log's package from the Bellin Town Mart! Press START and then the Directional Right button to view the Mission Log section. First display is for All Missions, Press L to see the others: Inactive Missions, Completed Missions and Reward Missions. Mom also gives us the Super Cube's battle component, which will contain stuff like stat booster items and so on. We also find out what makes the Cube far more superior to the standard Trainer Bag - unlimited storage space! Wow, sorry Trainer Bag. One more component from Mom, the Costume Box...but it isn't accessible in the current game version, ~whomp whomp~ :/ I was just about to play that old Pharrell track about changing clothes xD. Mom added in some costumes that we could've tried out too. After all that, head up to your room and boot up the computer - there's a Berry Juice in storage. Leave the house and enter the house just to the south from ours. Speak to grandma and hear some wise words from her about certain Missions which require players to complete a specific task a few times. From grandpa we learn that Dad was not only a Pokémon Trainer but he had Arceus on his side (!) makes me wonder...was that man who dumped Hoopa's Poké Ball into the water our Dad??. We receive a Psychic Gem too. Exit and continue on down to Route 1. [rt01] ROUTE 1 "Snowy Mountain Pass" -------------- HMs Needed: Rock Smash, Rock Climb. Pokémon Found ............. ((Daytime: 04:00am-07:59pm)) ((Nighttime: 08:00pm-03:59am)) Snorunt [Ice] Snorunt [Ice] Vanillite [Ice] Vanillite [Ice] Delibird [Ice/Flying] Delibird [Ice/Flying] Minior [Rock/Flying] Minior [Rock/Flying] On the left side, check the rock that's below the tree for an Oran Berry. On the right side, make a note of the rock wall for when we have Rock Climb. Below that is an Ice Heal in the pit. We find Trainer Tips signpost #02 here. A little further down is the entrance to Icicle Cave and Bellin Town. The old man by the cave entrance won't let us through until we've delivered Log's package. [002] BELLIN TOWN {A Quiet Town Nestled Deep in the Mountains.} ================= Places of Interest .................. - PokéCenter - PokéMart HMs Needed: Rock Climb. Let's have a look around before visiting the Mart. Trainer Tips signpost #03 is here In the PokeCenter we learn that there are Chansey to be found in the wild that will heal your Pokémon if you're far away from the nearest PokeCenter. Upstairs is the Wireless Club (currently undergoing adjustments) and the Mystery Gift system (only available after you defeat the Pokémon League). According to what's written on the Articuno statue plaque, Articuno now resides in Frozen Heights. Noted for sure :) The Gentleman roaming near the PokéMart has a Pokémon Egg which will hatch into a Stunky, Skorupi or Glameow depending on your Trainer ID. While Stunky and Skorupi are available in the wild, Glameow is a Swarm Pokémon so this is a nice chance to get one of those Pokémon early, come back for it soon. Both northeast and southwest houses require us to have a PokéDex so off to the Mart we go. We arrive in time to see Marlon's assigned Grunt there to pick up the special package....which turns out to be the same one that we're here to get haha, well well. After the Clerk refuses to hand over the package, the Grunt lets out his Sneasel and it steals the package! We stand between the Grunt and the door, we'll have to fight to get that package! Shadow Grunt - Sneasel [Dark/Ice] Prize: P256 He yields and gives us what he claims to have been in the package - a Repel. Really, xD? We've just been swerved, damn it. The Clerk has been paid off by that Grunt so for now he won't be of much help. Unbelievable. Exit and head north back to Route 1, as we do that there's a cutscene: Marlon meets up with the Grunt and gets the package. He's going to the north of Frozen Heights, while the Grunt must go back and update Zeph the Boss. Back to us, return to Frozen Heights and carry on north after Marlon. We see him use Cacnea to Cut down the tree before proceeding on. Thanks? Up the steps and into another cutscene: Marlon is with other Shadow Grunts and with a few magical phrases he summons specimen ArticUNO (!?). The Grunts restrain it, allowing Marlon to capture it with a Master Ball. Well, mission accomplished :/ on his way out, Marlon sees us but rather than face us he gets one of the Grunts to do that. Good old delegation... :[ Shadow Grunt - Snorunt [Ice] Prize: P288 And of course this was just to buy time, the other Grunts have escaped but this lady is kind enough to give us Log's package now that they got what they needed from it. Back to town and deliver the package. In it are goodies from Professor Oak, well, minus the Master Balls. After we tell Log what happened, he gives us another errand: in Dresco Town lives a friend of his who knows a lot about Borrius region's history, we must see him and inform him of what happened. Dresco Town is reached after getting through Icicle Cave. Log then gives us the Town Map and the West Borrius PokéDex. This adds 2 new Missions to the Log, Mission 56 and Mission 62: >56 THE WEST BORRIUS POKéDEX |||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Frozen Heights - It's a daunting task! See all Pokémon in West Borrius and report back to Prof. Log. >62 THE NATIONAL POKéDEX |||||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Frozen Heights - As they used to say, you gotta catch 'em all! Travel around, and capture every Pokémon you can! We also receive 5 Poké Balls, the old man by Icicle Cave will help you when it comes to catching them Monz, he'll give you a Quick Ball after showing you how to catch them. Prof. Log has a younger sister named Natasha who lives in Blizzard City, she'll upgrade the PokéDex for us. We then get the other PokéDex which we must give to Axelrod - this updates the A Hero's Journey Mission: Location: Icicle Cave - Go to Icicle Cave and deliver Rival's PokéDex to him! When you're ready make your way back to Bellin Town, we can do some shopping now: BELLIN TOWN MART **************** Poké Ball P200 Potion P300 Antidote P100 Parlyz Heal P200 Ice Heal P250 Repel P350 Also, now that we have the PokéDex we can visit the two houses. In the southwest house lives a man will give us 5 Heal Balls. In the northwest house, there's been a Pokémon which has kept coming to steal food every few days. Just as the man of the house is about to ask us to help, the thief arrives - an Alolan Sandslash! The man's daughter tries to keep it from leaving after Sandslash grabs some grub, but the Pokémon overpowers the girl and escapes. We are then tasked with getting that food back. This is Mission 60. >60 THE FOOD THIEF |||||||||||||||||| Location: Bellin Town - A mysterious icy Pokémon has been stealing food! Hunt it down and recover what was stolen. When we exit the house there's a small cutscene showing Sandslash heading north for Icicle Cave. Prepare if you need to and let's go. [rticc] ICICLE CAVE ------------------- HMs Needed: Rock Climb, Surf, Rock Smash, Strength. -4F- Pokémon Found ............. (All Day) Zubat [Poison/Flying] Makuhita [Fighting] Spheal [Ice/Water] Bergmite [Ice] Roggenrola [Rock] Swinub [Ice/Ground] (Uncommon) Smoochum [Ice/Psychic] (Rare) As soon as we enter, we're shown Sandslash breaking through the western wall. The only person we find here isn't a battling Trainer, he just has some advice about exploring Icicle Cave. Follow after Sandslash. -4F- (via Secret Entrance) Pokémon Found ............. (All Day) Zubat [Poison/Flying] Roggenrola [Rock] Makuhita [Fighting] Drilbur [Ground] (Uncommon) Mawile [Steel/Fairy] (Rare) We'll see it go through an exit on the northwest side. Move up and down the steps going east, on the right is a massive looking tablet. That Ruin Maniac from the previous area comes along to view it, thanks to Sandslash we've found what was a hidden section until now. There's a message in Braille on the tablet, because what's a Pokémon game without stuff in Braille, eh? xD. THE PLATE IS THE KEY. Great, it's not too cryptic. Noted. Continue after Sandslash. -4F- (Outside) Pokémon Found ............. (All Day) Alolan Sandshrew [Ice/Steel] This turns out to be Sandslash's den, where some Sandshrew were waiting for the food it brought. They notice us and Sandslash attacks. Can't be caught. Sandslash (Alolan) Level: 12 Type: Ice/Steel Ability: Snow Cloak Moves Known: Bide, Defense Curl, Icicle Spear, Metal Claw The man who gave us this Mission shows up, looking to get back the stolen food...but he sees now why Sandslash was taking his food. Because the Pokémon Rangers haven't been around to supply it with food, Sandslash had resorted to stealing. The man is willing to support Sandslash and its family and friends if it would become his Pokémon. Sandslash agrees and so begins the journey of a new Trainer :) then we receive our reward - TM56 Hone Claws. He also lets us know a bit about the first Gym that we'll reach, it's in Dresco Town and a move like Hone Claws will help us because it's very foggy inside the Gym. Good to know. Our first Mission is now completed, nice. >60 THE FOOD THIEF [completed] Catch a spare Sandshrew, someone in Dresco Town will want to trade their Ducklett for one. Return to the first 4F area and go for the ladder. -3F- Pokémon Found .............

Over on the left is Trainer Tips signpost #04 and the Don. Youngster Don - Snorunt [Ice] - Roggenrola [Rock] Prize: P128 He stands next to a frozen floor, slide onto it from the southern edge then slide down, left, up, right, up, right and down to get the reachable item of the 2 that are present here - Escape Rope. Then carry on south off the ice to meet Kelly. Picnicker Kelly - Vanillite [Ice] - Smoochum [Ice/Psychic] Prize: P160 Below from her is Trainer Tips signpost #05 the first of many Chansey we'll see out in the field. Not only does it offer free healing but will act as a restart point for when you lose a battle. Thumbs up :) don't go down that ladder yet, head east to find Ron.

He's also looking for his parents, and perhaps he'll show them how much stronger he has become. For bringing him his PokéDex, Axe gives us 3 Chesto Berries. He also tells us that he has already started his Gym Challenge run, but no luck in Dresco Town because his Pokémon were constantly being put to sleep by the Gym Leader's Pokémon. To counter this, Axe found Chesto Berries. Clever boy haha. Our main Mission gets updated after Axelrod leaves: Location: Dresco Town - Challenge the Dresco Town Gym! Continue south, we'll find the legendary Joey and then Trainer Tips signpost #06. Youngster Joey - Rattata [Normal] - Sentret [Normal] Prize: P160 Check the rock in the bottom right corner for a Persim Berry then go left to the next ladder. -1F- Pokémon Found .............

Outside is Route 2 and a cutscene: Somewhere nearby, Marlon is laying out a new mission for a pair of Grunts: they are headed for Cinder Volcano where they will help someone named Ivory obtain specimen TRES. Uh-oh :/ Marlon doesn't want any problems this time after what happened previously, thanks to us, so he expects the Grunts to work discreetly.

There are people blocking the way there at the moment though, what could they be doing? On the left side is a woman who will heal your team and says there's a Trainer along this Route who will teleport us to Dresco Town if you are in a rush to get there. How convenient :) Across the south bridge is Wayne, welcoming us to Challenge Road. Hiker Wayne - Roggenrola [Rock] - Drilbur [Ground] Prize: P384 Past him is the Psychic who will teleport us to Dresco Town for free. But if you're ready, let's check out the other Trainers first.

Here we are, home of the first Borrius region Gym. Let's check this place out first and then go get that Badge. The first building we see upon arrival is Trainer House. TRAINER HOUSE ............. Here we can take on the 5 Trainers as many times as we like, you just have to step out and come back inside if you want to fight someone again. Their Pokémon's levels vary based on yours. On the left side is a Porygon if you need PC Storage access. Each Trainer specialises in a specific Type. Kobe and Bram are Double Battlers: Kindler Daniel - Magby [Fire] - Litleo [Fire/Normal] - Fennekin [Fire] Prize: P480 Picnicker Sarah - Budew [Grass/Poison] - Oddish [Grass/Poison] - Sunkern [Grass] Prize: P300 Tuber(F) Renee - Panpour [Water] - Finneon [Water] - Froakie [Water] Prize: P60 Collector Kobe - Whismur [Normal] - Happiny [Normal] - Lickitung [Normal] - Audino [Normal] Prize: P960 Ace Trainer Bram - Pancham [Fighting] - Murkrow [Dark/Flying] - Poochyena [Dark] - Carvanha [Water/Dark] - Sandile [Ground/Dark] - Inkay [Dark/Psychic] Prize: P2040 At the center of town is the statue of Moltres. The Legendary Bird lives in Cinder Volcano...yeah, but not for long though. The Ace Trainer roaming near the statue has some key information about Gems, most of the Gym Leaders in this region have a Pokémon that is holding one. But if you have a Pokémon that knows Incinerate, it can melt the Gem before it is used. In the house east from the statue, the boy with the game will assign you with Mission 16 if you say Yes to him. Save the world! >16 DON'T TURN OFF THE POWER |||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Dresco Town - Practise saving lives by saving the game at least 100 times. Not one of the major Missions, but if you value Bottle Caps then you better get cracking on that saving :) he'll give you one. The old man next to him knows of our father Aros, the legendary Arceus Trainer. Sadly he doesn't know why Dad disappeared and wishes someone who knows could tell him. In the PokéCenter not only do we get some advice about the Gym but we also find a new character, not yet identified, who has heard that Gym Leader Mirskle isn't exactly alright upstairs. Something we should worry about...? On the southwestern side, show the blonde woman either one of the following Pokémon from Route 2 if you caught them: Azurill, Budew or Riolu and she'll give you a Soothe Bell. The house on the right is home to Edmund, the man who needs that Alolan Sandshrew in exchange for his Ducklett. It knows Defog and is holding a Quick Claw. His wife will reward you with 3 Dusk Balls. The house just below is where Prof. Log's friend lives, at the moment his grandson won't let anybody in because the man is taking a nap. He suggests we challenge the Gym and also hints at Edmund if he hadn't met him yet. Check the tree on the right side of the house for a Rare Candy. Below the house is a fellow who has Mission 11 for us which involves them Trainer Tips signs, yo: >11 BASIC LITERACY |||||||||||||||||| Location: Dresco Town - Practice basic literacy by reading all (40) of the Trainer Tips signs. If you're keeping score at home, by now you will have read 8 Trainer Tips signs. Go across the left side bridge, we'll be stopped by a Scientist identified as Zygarde Researcher A and after seeing our Super Cube he asks us to follow him back to his place (next door from Edmund's house). Here we meet his fellow Researcher/wife and learn that Zygarde cells have been appearing in Borrius, they can only be seen if you have a special Super Cube component installed. The Researchers tell us that Zygarde only appears when an ecosystem is in danger, so they are trying to figure out why this Pokémon from Kalos is here. We must find all the Zygarde cells and cores, say Yes to Researcher B and receive the component. Once you've collected at least 10% return to see her. This is Mission 63 >63 THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Dresco Town - Collect the mysterious green cells that are appearing around Borrius! Now that we can see Zygarde cells and cores, there is some backtracking to be done so that we collect the ones we missed. Starting with the cells (#9) located near the Basic Literacy guy. Return to Route 2, just northeast from Kelsey and Chad are more cells (#7). The next ones (#8) on this route are on the eastern side but we'll need Surf. In Icicle Cave, 3F, near Black Belt Ron (#5). Back in Bellin Town, near the big rock above the Mart (#3). On Route 1, next to the Trainer Tips sign (#2). In Frozen Heights, behind the old couple's house (#1). That's all for now, back to Dresco. Past the bridge where we met the Researcher is the start of Route 4, at the end of the southern path is an Awakening. There are cops blocking access to the rest of the route because they don't a felon that they're about to arrest to escape. The north exit of town leads to Route 3, no cops in the way there and we can do some Training before hitting the Gym. [rt03] ROUTE 3 "Paradise Road" -------------- HMs Needed: Surf, Rock Climb.

Battle Pokémon in Flower Paradise and collect 3 Honey from them. The reward for getting her the Honey is TM62 Silver Wind. Head up the hill in the center and go north, you'll find Zygarde cells #11 on the left side and another area which is currently blocked off by an Ace Trainer: he says only Trainers who have proven themselves in battle are allowed through...and as we are now, we are not worthy. Dang. When you're done, let's return to town and prepare for the Gym. On the left side from the building there is construction going on of a bridge to an entrance to the KBT Expressway. [g1] DRESCO TOWN GYM ++++++++++++++++++++ Leader: Mirskle - The Hippy who loves fog! Well if he's a hippy, are you sure that's actual fog and not...? xD you never know, but I am getting memories of Snoop's Gym from Pokémon Clover. If you read either of those Gym statue plaques you'll notice one new name next to our Rival's name - Jax. Who could that be? If there are any fellow wrestling fans among you, that name should give you a big laugh :) The Gym Guide gives us that customary bottle of Fresh Water, although judging from those coughs he needs it more than we do, and lets us know that Mirskle uses Grass-types. He also has some advice for us to counter this fog. Then head up along the left side to meet our first Gym Trainer opponent Doobie. Whose mother named this child, xD?? Youngster Doobie - Cherubi [Grass] - Oddish [Grass/Poison] Prize: P240 Move over to the right side and turn south, you'll barely spot Liam. Camper Liam - Burmy [Bug] - Pansage [Grass] Prize: P280 Then we find the man in charge of this hazy joint, he'll offer you some Oddish Leaves - apparently they're good for the soul, duuuude.

The following items are now available at Marts: Super Potion, Awakening, Burn Heal and Escape Rope. Suddenly there's a raid by the police and the Gym crew hide by jumping into the pond, haha. One of the Officers asks us if we saw Mirskle, it seems he's wanted for selling Zinc on the super cheap. If you say Yes the cops follow after the crew or you could say No and the cops think you were just a poor kid who fell victim to Mirskle and leave. Say No, because this will pay off much much later. The fog clears, you can go back to the Gym Guide and get one more reward - a Grass Gem. Outside the Gym we'll see that grandson fly off, allowing us to finally visit Prof. Log's friend Arthur. If you watch his TV, you'll see the history special which we got as the opening cutscene of this game. He'll ask if you're well versed in Borrian history (watch that cutscene again if you need a refresh), say Yes and Arthur adds some new info to what we know so far: the sealed away power of the dark force can be released again if the Legendary Birds are brought together at a place called the Ruins of Void. He believes that's what the Shadow group is aiming to do and before he can mention the place where they could be targeting next, grandson JAX returns. Mystery solved. He says he saw some Shadows headed towards Cinder Volcano, which Arthur confirms as that next target, for Moltres. He tells Jax to fly over to Frozen Heights and bring back Prof. Log. Once Log is here, Arthur reveals that he was planning to send Jax to confront the Shadows because he has proven himself to be capable enough. Jax leaves. Log wants us to return home now that we've completed the errand but Arthur suggests we go on and see Jax in action, perhaps gaining some experience as a result. Log agrees with that idea and lets us continue. Our main Mission gets an update: Location: Cinder Volcano - Make a beeline for Cinder Volcano and save Moltres! After that, exit the house and get ready for our journey to the first portion of Route 4 and then Grimm Woods. [rt04] ROUTE 4 "Volcano Zone" -------------- HMs Needed: Surf, Cut, Waterfall.

End scene :/ one more to go. Once you can move, head up and get another cutscene showing Jax and his Staravia confronting Ivory. But before they fight, Marlon arrives to remind Ivory that they are on a schedule so no wasting time battling Jax. The Shadows escape and we reach Jax, who feels bad about what just happened. So he asks if we could team up with him...if you say Yes he'll tag along with us, playing the healer role and as far as battles go, mostly Double Battles all the way to the exit and only the top 3 Pokémon in your party are accessible. Or you can say No and Jax will fly off to the exit to catch the Shadows there, while you continue on alone. Descend the ladder. -4F- That item on the right is Calcium.

The Shadows make their exit and Jax suggests we return to Arthur's house. Back there we update Arthur on what happened, now only Zapdos is left and we have to get it before the Shadows do. Jax is ready to go after Zapdos but Arthur has another task for him - to find the item which the Shadows need to seal away the dark force's power. A friend of Arthur's who lives on Route 9 knows where this item is. As for us, we are headed for Thundercap Mt. to save Zapdos. We'll reach Thundercap Mt. by going along the highway southeast from Crater Town. Our main Mission gets an update: Location: Crater Town - Challenge the Crater Town Gym! Prof. Log returns to Frozen Heights to let Mom know what's going on. Jax will give us a ride back to Cinder Volcano if you want one. Or you can say No and since you're back in Dresco, return to the Researchers now that we've collected 10% of the Zygarde cells. This allows us to assemble a Temporary Beast. If you want to assemble it, make sure to have space in your party and be aware that any stat changes done to this beast will disappear when it is disassembled, just speak to the wife again to do that. The beast at this point will be Lv10, have the Aura Break Ability and know Dragon Breath, Bulldoze, Bite and Haze. Also while you're back in town, head out the first part of Route 4 and move along the upper side behind the trees to search the rock on the right for a Lemonade. The place where Jax will drop us off is just outside the western entrance of Cinder Volcano, still on Route 4. There's a Porygon out here if you need access to the Storage Boxes. Trainer Tips signpost #11 below says we should speak to the Lapras here to help us scale down the waterfalls.

In the PokéCenter we find that white-haired man again, he has some information about the Gym Leader Véga. Check the right side of the bookshelf, there's a hidden path behind it, and it leads to a Lv20 Clefairy! Catch it if you can!

Say Yes to him and get Mission 55: >55 THE BLACK EMBOAR |||||||||||||||||||| Location: Crater Town - Rescue a man's brother from the clutches of the "Black Emboar" in the KBT Expressway. He says we'll find his brother in the northern KBT Expressway. Hmm, might be a nice place for us to do some pre-Gym training. Next door is a locked house. The southern house belongs to the Move Maniac, just bring him Heart Scales for his services. There are 2 Shadow Grunts blocking access to the south route, nothing we can do about them except hear them mutter. On the western side, speak to the old man in the house there and we hear a story about our Dad Aros saving most of the region from a meteorite. Makes me think of Naruto's dad Minato saving the village from the Demon Fox. A place called Valley City wasn't saved though but parts of the meteorite fell there. When you're ready, let's check out the KBT Expressway. [rtke] KBT EXPRESSWAY (Crater Town Entrance) --------------------- Pokémon Found (All Day) .............

We also find out that James is the brother we came here for! Plot twist and a half haha, we return to the house with him and watch the brothers argue for a bit before James decides to move with the gang to Antisis City. He also makes us a member of the gang and gives us a Motorcycle! Nice. James leaves his brother behind and the brother gives us TM98 Work Up. Another Mission completed. If you go back to where we found James, you'll see the first of 2 junctions. The first one leads to Dresco Town (along the way you'll meet the Grass Gem Family member, she teaches Power Whip for 4 Grass Gems). North of that first junction is the Dark Gem Family member, give him 3 Dark Gems to learn Crunch. The second junction goes west to Blizzard City but we need Rock Smash. The tunnel road continues north then east to Frozen Heights, along the way we'll meet the Ice Gem Family member who teaches Triple Axel for 3 Ice Gems. That's all for now, prepare for the Crater Town Gym. [g2] CRATER TOWN GYM ++++++++++++++++++++ Leader: Véga - The Double Agent. It's a Dark-type Gym so no wonder it's so...dark here :| makes sense, well played xD. The Gym Guide is on the left. Get that Fresh Water from him and we find out that battles here are affected by negative emotions of Trainers that struggle here. At the end of each turn damage is dealt by these emotions, but only Dark-types, Ghost-types and Pokémon with the Abilities Magic Guard, Unaware or Oblivious are immune. To reach Véga we just have to navigate our way through, either avoiding being spotted (otherwise you'll be sent back to the entrance) or engaging the Gym Trainers in order to brighten up this place. Let there be light! Go all the way to the right from the entrance then up to find the first Gym Trainer, Dixon. Youngster Dixon - Nuzleaf [Grass/Dark] Prize: P336 Above from him is Dilweed. Who..? Scientist Dilweed - Poochyena [Dark] Prize: P1008 **BATTLE NOTES: Dilweed has an X Attack. Next are Lyssa and Clemonce whom you can either Double Battle or face one on one.

Just make good timing and you'll reach the western corridor, but there's a Roughneck and another Trainer (Burglar?) in the north corridor. If they see you, you'll just be teleported to the top end of the western corridor. This one is rather tricky because after getting past those two, you'll reach the eastern corridor which is occupied by a Camper and then a southern corridor that has a Cameraman, he's the final obstacle. If the Camper sees you, back to the west side corridor but if the Cameraman sees you, you just teleport to the bottom end of the Camper corridor. Eventually we reach Véga's room, phew. Thanks to the atmosphere of this town, he has managed to channel enough of his dark energy into this place. Not good. And he just had to look like an Agent from The Matrix xD, seriously not good. ++++++++++++++ >>GYM BATTLE<< ++++++++++++++ Leader Véga - Liepard [Dark] {Limber} - Sneasel [Dark/Ice] {Keen Eye} (holding a Dark Gem) - Absol [Dark] {Pressure} Prizes: P3680 + Vision Badge + TM46 Thief **BATTLE NOTES: - Véga has a Super Potion. >> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Liepard Moves: Fake Out, Taunt, Fury Swipes, Thief - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sneasel Moves: Fake Out, Icy Wind, Thief, Metal Claw - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Absol Moves: Quick Attack, Thief, Taunt, Slash - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - << A Badge that looks like a pair of shades...Jesus, this is too meta for me xD.

Receive a Dark Gem from the Gym Guide before stepping out to witness a cutscene: Those 2 Shadow Grunts on the south side of town have received news about their target being on the move, so off they go... Back to us, you'll notice there's a guy standing near the skinny tree by the Valley Cave opening in the town crater. He tells us that the opening leads to Route 6, Route 7, Frost Mountain, Route 8 and then Blizzard City. That's quite the shortcut there but noted. Go to where the Shadow Grunts were standing and watch as we're suddenly captured! Hey, wait a min-- We are taken back to Cinder Volcano, another area of 1F, where we meet Ivory and Boss Zeph. He knows about how we ended up at their lab and found out about what they've done, so we must be gotten rid of. He has Ivory step up to face us.

Zeph uses a Max Revive to heal up Houndoom and is ready to go another round because he's got PLENTY of Max Revives...but Hoopa suddenly appears and sends us away via portal. Not this agaiiiii.... We pop up back in the KBT Expressway tunnel, to the surprise of a Hiker nearby. After he finds out what happened to us, he tells us that a part of the ceiling fell and that has blocked the road to Thundercap Mt., we would need HM Rock Smash to clear that. The Hiker doesn't have it but a friend of his in Blizzard City does. Fortunately the Hiker has another HM that we need now, HM01 Cut. Fantastic :) and our main Mission gets updated: Location: Blizzard City - Head through Valley Cave and make your way towards Blizzard City! Go north to exit the tunnel. Now that we got Cut, there's some backtracking to be done before we go through Valley Cave. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<< >THE GREAT BACKTRACK: CUT EDITION< >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<< /ROUTE 5\ - There's a skinny tree just outside town, near the Youngster. After cutting the tree go a few steps until you see two trees with a shadow between them, that leads to a Hidden Grotto. In there we find a well and just before we jump in, a Trainer named Ginger shows up and can explain what's up: the well is a Raid Den and once a day you get to fight a strong Pokémon for a chance to catch one in each den. The Pokémon are in Dynamax form and can only be caught after they are defeated and returned to normal size.

The girl is now at the spot where we found the Zygarde cells, and just as she tries to hold onto us she's gone again.

You'll have to come back here when it's not raining to meet the other people. In the first house make a note of the Battle Girl, she'll trade her Hitmontop for a Lickitung (which can be found on Route 10). Her husband is the Strength man we heard about, great :) Just above the house is a woman who'll give you 3 Ultra Balls. In the house next to the Mart speak to the Picnicker to receive a Rocky Helmet. The Camper tells us about the other Thundercap Mt. entrance that's in Antisis City but he doesn't recommend we make use of it. Behind that house is a Nugget. Near the KBT Expressway entrance is a Dire Hit. Inside the Expressway is the Psychic Gem Family member, teaches Psychic Fang for 3 Psychic Gems. Next to the Zapdos statue is Trainer Tips signpost #23. There's an old couple that lives next to the statue, Aros tasked couples like them with keeping special items. This couple has a Master Ball and they will give it to a Trainer who shows them Hoopa. Another couple lives on Route 9. The item outside the house is a Full Heal. To the south of the house is a building, search the right side edge of the dirt road below that building for a PP Up. Next door to the couple is the Good Rod Fisherman's place. The old man roaming outside the PokéCenter gives us the Mission 27: >27 HOME FOR A HOBO ||||||||||||||||||| Location: Epidimy Town - A poor old man needs a new home! Search Borrius for any and all indoor homes available. I'd thought maybe the locked house in Crater Town would be the place but nothing happened when I went back there. Above the PokéCenter are Zygarde cells #43. West of the PokéCenter is the Move Deleter's home. Check between the 2 benches next to the house for a Nest Ball. To the west of the house, you'll find a Gentleman seated on a bench and after talking to him and sitting next to him you'll find an Antidote. In the house south from the PokéCenter speak to the Hiker's wife to receive 3 Max Repels each day. That's all for now, back to Fallshore City and then off to Route 10. There are 2 ships docked in Fallshore City by the way, but for now we can't board them. [rt10] ROUTE 10 "Autumn River" --------------- HMs Needed: Surf, Rock Climb. Pokémon Found .............

But they hightail it, which means we have to split up to find them. The Mission gets updated: Location: Auburn Waterway - The Terror Granbull have run away to the Auburn Waterway! Help the local authorities arrest 5 of them. In the corner below where the gang was you'll find Zygarde cells #34. Back up and after crossing the bridge head south, there's a Black Belt who'll give you a Macho Brace for P50000. The cliff just below him, check the top right corner for a Psychic Seed. Below from there is a Quick Ball. Return to the top and go behind the fence, aiming northwest to find TM54 False Swipe. Back to the main path and continue west to Chris.

Return to where we found Painter Rango and head southwest to see a cutscene: Jax and a crew of Shadow Grunts are having a war of words. As long as the barrier is still in place the Grunts aren't going anywhere, so Jax goes off to look for the underground passage.

There's a woman roaming near the town signboard, she'll give you 5 Quick Balls. She also tells us that one's Prof. Log's Aides lives here -> in the western house. The lady researcher is that Aide, she gives us the very handy Dowsing Machine! I really hope other games will have ItemFinders that are similar or better because this was well made. The woman's husband gives out Mission 48: >48 SEASONAL RESEARCH ||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Tehl Town - Help a researcher study seasonal form changes by bringing him a Sawsbuck in its Spring Form.

Shadow Grunt - Golbat [Poison/Flying] - Haunter [Ghost/Poison] Prize: P992 Just as this guy tells us that he has called for backup from the other Grunts, Jax appears and suggests we team up. Just like back in Cinder Volcano you can say No and continue on alone if you're not a fan of Double Battles. Go north, you'll see a small rock on the left. Next to it is a hidden Grassy Seed and above that is another Grunt. Shadow Grunt - Nuzleaf [Grass/Dark] - Carvanha [Water/Dark] Prize: P1984 A little further up from her are Zygarde cells #31.

Shadow Grunt - Gourgeist [Ghost/Grass] - Alolan Raticate [Dark/Normal] Prize: P2048 The Grunt enters the house to warn Ivory. Jax follows after her and now you have a chance to prepare before going in. Inside we find Ivory, Marlon, few more Grunts and Arthur's friend Dr. Harth. Jax has been put in a corner, he didn't get very far. Ivory then asks Harth to hand over the Prison Stone or else his wife will be harmed. He'd rather give it away than watch his wife be hurt. Unfortunately for the doctor and his wife they're both killed by Zeph's Houndoom soon afterwards. Even Marlon finds this to be a tad extreme. Now Ivory targets us, but Jax manages to free himself and you can choose either to team up with him or face Ivory solo.

We're back on Route 9 where Jax finds us, he was able to escape but once again the Shadows have gotten away. Not even the police will do anything about it because they won't believe Jax when he tells them about the organisation. He suddenly remembers that there is someone he can contact. In the meantime we should continue our journey to Thundercap Mt., but first we've got to get Mel's Badge. Jax saw him back in Tehl Town. New update for main Mission: Location: Tehl Town - Talk to the Fallshore City Gym Leader in Tehl Town! Now that the Shadows are gone, the Trainers for Route 9 have appeared.

Speak to the Scientist outside the Dream Research Lab, he'll give us a Dream Mist capsule and some information about how to get some more. In the Lab you'll get TM85 Dream Eater from the lady Scientist seated at the big table. Check the green shrub near the PokéCenter for a Repeat Ball. There's a Teleporter in the PokéCenter for when you need a quick way down the mountain, he'll send us back to the bridge on Route 11. If you talk to some of the people around here you'll find out about this town's history of nightmares and about Darkrai being involved. There's a boy struggling with a nightmare in the house next to the Mart, maybe make a note of him. Behind the house is an Ether. The Tarmigan Inn is locked, makes me wonder if we'll find a way into it later on. Let's visit the Mansion next. TARMIGAN MANSION ---------------- -1F- Shades of Pokémon Mansion, not bad. The Nurse by the entrance will heal your team. The stairs on the far left lead to a room on 2F where we can pick up a Hyper Potion and battle Arnie. Super Nerd Arnie - Magneton [Electric/Steel] - Kadabra [Psychic] Prize: P1360 Who is this Successor Maxima person that he's looking for? But good to know that there's a switch somewhere which leads to her. Back to 1F, the stairs on the far right take us to the kitchen, you'll find Calcium, an HP Up and Iron on the tables. Speak to the chef on the upper right to get 5 Pecha Berries or 5 other Berries each day. Back to 1F and go up to the northeast side where we'll find Andy. Expert Andy - Starmie [Water/Psychic] (holding a Kasib Berry) - Weavile [Dark/Ice] (holding a Chople Berry) Prize: P1360 He says we'll have to fight our way through this place if we want to learn about Mega Evolution. Shouldn't be a problem :) near him is a Healing Chansey. On the table are an Escape Rope and Carbos. The Gentleman on the bottom end of the table mentions that one of the statues in the mansion has the secret switch which unlocks a hidden passageway.

Kindler Jeff and Collector Winston - Salazzle [Poison/Fire] - Banette [Ghost] - Arcanine [Fire] - Gourgeist [Ghost/Grass] Prize: P2240 And then in the room on the right is a mini maze of statues. From the entrance of the room go all the way east to find Burle. Dragon Tamer Burle - Alolan Exeggutor [Grass/Dragon] - Dragonair [Dragon] Prize: P2100 The pathway next to him is the correct one but let's cover the rest of the maze. Move up along the middle pathway, all the way to the left side where you'll find a Heart Scale. Come back down and move up along the left pathway until you can turn right, the statue which you should see above you has a secret switch, press it. At the end of that row is a Nugget and on the left side of the row above is a Hyper Potion. Now we can go for the correct pathway, and when you get to the stairs turn right - there's a Revive between the statues.

When you see the Mega Symbol during battles, press START to trigger Mega Evolution. Maxima also gives us an Altarianite. I don't know about you but to me Mega Evolution still comes off as Pokémon's response to Digimon's Digivolution xD or maybe someone at Nintendo or GAME FREAK or The Pokémon Company was just a big Digimon fan and wanted to try out Digivolution in the Pokémon universe :) think about it - both styles of evolution are temporary and require certain conditions to be in place for them to work (you can also throw in the stuff about Trainers having a strong bond with their Pokémon and so on, same thing with Tamers and their Digimon). You never know... Return to 1F's northeast side, a hidden entrance has appeared near the Gentleman. It leads to Zygarde cells #45 and the Tarmigan Town Raid Den.

The same individuals are also there to keep us from venturing into the mountain. He'll be going back to Epidimy Town to sort that issue out, so he gives us HM02 Fly for that fast travel back there! In Epidimy Town go the Thundercap Mt. entrance in the southeast, Mel is there confronting one of the Shadow Grunts. One Body Slam from Miltank sends that Grunt flying and now we can get to work cleaning up Thundercap Mt.. Get ready because we could be in there for some time.

The second southward bridge leads to a ladder guarded by a sleeping Grunt, not even the PokéFlute could wake her up. Back track to the area above the first southward bridge and go east to battle Alize. Battle Girl Alize - Timburr [Fighting] - Gurdurr [Fighting] - Hitmontop [Fighting] Prize: P864 There's a small rock on the bottom right, you'll find a hidden Star Piece from it. Jump down the ledge below Alize and head all the way south to find Zygarde cells #44.

Continue after him, soon you'll reach a waterfall and there's a sudden quake (?!). Another Grunt is in the northwest corner and one more on the south side. Shadow Grunt - Woobat [Psychic/Flying] - Gastly [Ghost/Poison] - Ariados [Bug/Poison] Prize: P1152 Shadow Grunt - Nuzleaf [Grass/Dark] - Golbat [Poison/Flying] Prize: P1152 Healing Chansey is there if you need it and when you're ready climb that ladder. -5F- We're almost there, will we make it in time??

The other trapped Pokémon have also been freed, go all the way back to the destroyed stairs and see the Pokémon repair them. Then head up for the big cutscene: Marlon and his crew summon Zapdos, but things quickly go south for them because Zapdos uses Discharge to get rid of Marlon's subordinates. Damn. Marlon sends out his Krookodile to weaken Zapdos before he catches it. The next target for the Shadows now is the Ruins of Void. We show up to confront Marlon and although he's surprised to see that we've made it through the other Grunts, he is confident about us not stopping him this time because he's got the 'Dos. ///////////\\\\\\\\\\\\ >>SHADOW ADMIN BATTLE<< \\\\\\\\\\\//////////// Shadow Admin Marlon - Zapdos [Electric/Flying] {Pressure} - Krookodile [Ground/Dark] {Intimidate} (holding Black Glasses) - Dusclops [Ghost] {Pressure} (holding an Eviolite) - Swoobat [Psychic/Flying] {Unaware} - Cacturne [Grass/Dark] {Sand Veil} Prize: P4800 **BATTLE NOTES - Marlon has a Hyper Potion. >> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Zapdos Moves: Agility, Drill Peck, Ancient Power, Charge - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Krookodile Moves: Power-Up Hit, Bulldoze, Power Trip, Stone Edge - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dusclops Moves: Will-o-Wisp, Shadow Sneak, Confuse Ray, Ice Punch - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Swoobat Moves: Psychic, Air Slash, Stored Power, Calm Mind - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cacturne Moves: Sucker Punch, Needle Arm, ThunderPunch, Poison Jab - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - << Another loss for Marlon and this one stings because he tells us that he won't be going after Zapdos anymore. He then releases it back into the wild and leaves. Wow, so is that the last time we'll see him? Because I can't imagine he'll go back to Boss Zeph and explain his way out of this. The main Mission gets updated: Location: Epidimy Town - Meet up with Jax in Epidimy Town to discusss your next move! Alright, but before we leave...do you remember that ladder on 2F which had the snoozing Grunt? Let's find out where it leads. Another section of 3F. Head south then descend the stairs on the left and smash them rocks - there's a hidden Parlyz Heal. Back up the stairs and cross the east bridge to Earl. Hiker Earl - Cubone [Ground] - Alolan Geodude [Rock/Electric] Prize: P1120 Carry on up to descend the stairs (that ladder on the right leads to another area of 4F which requires Surf for further exploration) and head west to take on Stan the Man before we take a look at big tablet.

Shocker Picard - Stunfisk [Ground/Electric] - Charjabug [Bug/Electric] Prize: P1120 Proceed to climb the ladder above him. Another area of 4F. Go all the way east then north to see a Nerd having trouble with his Electivire, it won't go back into its Poké Ball and almost seriously injures the Nerd. We're then asked if we should help him or not. Saying No just makes us turn away, the scene will start again when you try to move into that area. Say Yes and we get Mission 64: >64 THE ROGUE ELECTIVIRE |||||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Thundercap Mt. - A nerd's Electivire has gone rogue! Find it in Thundercap Mt. 4F and bring it back to the nerd. We go up to face Electivire but it runs off. The Nerd asks us to bring Electivire back to him. Head all the way south then west, we'll find Electivire in the southwest corner and a moment later it jumps us! o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o >>POKé BOSS FIGHT<< o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o Electivire - The Thunderbolt Pokémon Level: 36 Type: Electric Ability: Motor Drive Moves Known: Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Bulldoze, Ice Punch After the battle the Nerd arrives and this time manages to get Electivire back into its Poké Ball and tells us to meet him in the Epidimy Town PokéCenter for the reward.

Cyclist Issac - Hoothoot [Normal/Flying] - Elekid [Electric] - Shinx [Electric] Prize: P1088 Continue on the northwest and smash them rocks before pushing the boulder into the hole and dropping in after it. That's just how the first part of the puzzle done, we'll need Surf to complete it so that we can reach the switch that's in the northeast section. Use an Escape Rope or take the long way back outside. We meet Jax and update him on Zapdos. It's great news that one of the Legendary Birds is free but the Shadows still have the other two. Jax tells us to meet him in Dehara City, a friend of his who can help us is waiting there. We must head north from Tarmigan Town onto Route 12 then Dehara City. Remember to see the Nerd in the Epidimy Town PokéCenter, although he's got bad news - that Scientist took off with his Electivire after she lied about wanting to see it :/ so no reward yet until Electivire is returned. The Mission gets updated if you say Yes: Location: Seaport City - A nerd's Electivire has been kidnapped! Head to Seaport City to rescue it from the the thief. When you're ready, head on out to Route 12 :) [rt12] ROUTE 12 "West Thundercap Descent" --------------- HMs Needed: Surf, Cut, Rock Climb.

He has tracked the Shadows to the Ruins of Void but he can't get there yet. After Axe leaves use the Dowsing Machine to find a Max Repel near the route signboard. Descend the stairs to meet Steve. Collector Steve - Togedemaru [Electric/Steel] - Goomy [Dragon] Prize: P1152 After we pass Steve there's a cutscene: Marlon appears to be on the same beach where he picked up Hoopa's Poké Ball. He wonders what to do now, and even thinks this whole operation being done by the Shadows has gone off the rails. Maybe it's time he went back home to his childr-- a Grunt suddenly rushes him and Marlon takes an unscheduled dip in the ocean! Vicious. This mysterious Grunt needs Marlon out of the way, because as long as he's there then Boss Zeph might catch on to what this Grunt is up to. And the plot thickens... Above Steve is Trainer Tips signpost #25. Descend the stairs and carry on southwest, use the Dowsing Machine to find a hidden Revive on the flowers.

He doesn't want that Pokémon so Hoopa summons Zapdos and the Grunt captures it. With Zapdos in hand, the Grunt now has to take it to Boss Zeph so he can perform the unbinding. Then he has Hoopa send him to the Ruins of Void. Head northwest onto the beach, which turns out to be the same spot where those cutscenes took place.

In the PokéCenter speak to the Battle Girl to receive 5 Luxury Balls. We'll also receive some info about the Gym Leader Galavan. Northwest of the PokéCenter is a park, take a seat on any of the benches and pick up a Full Heal. You'll find Zygarde cells #48 in the yard of the house west of the park. That house belongs to the Surfing guy that Axelrod mentioned. He passed through there to find out how to get to the Ruins of Void and was told that only by boat or surfing down Route 14 can he get there. Pick up that HM03 Surf on the table, we finally got it :) just can't use it yet. Outside the house there's a Shocker who tells us that Fire-types can now move on lava thanks to Surf. South from him is a Rare Candy behind a breakable rock. North from the Shocker is the Double Battle House for any of you Double Battle enthusiasts out there. DOUBLE BATTLE HOUSE ------------------- -1F- The Ace Trainer by the entrance is there when you need your team healed. In that room are Ginger and Artred. Battle Girl Ginger - Mienfoo [Fighting] - Gurdurr [Fighting] (holding a Flame Orb) - Breloom [Grass/Fighting] (holding a Toxic Orb) Prize: P1824 Gambler Artred - Alolan Golem [Rock/Electric] - Lycanroc [Rock] (Midday Form) - Lycanroc [Rock] (Midnight Form) Prize: P3040 Garth's in the corridor.

Golbat [Poison/Flying] Woobat [Psychic/Flying] Lairon [Steel/Rock] Hariyama [Fighting] Nosepass [Rock] Graveler [Rock/Ground] Noibat [Flying/Dragon] - Same Pokémon are found in the Gurun Town, Antisis City and Seaport City entrances. You'll find the Steel Gem Family member (Iron Head for 3 Steel Gems), the Electric Gem Family member (Magnet Rise for 2 Electric Gems) a little further up and the Fire Gem Family member (Flare Blitz for 4 Fire Gems) along the northeast lane. A couple of houses to the east of the DB House we'll meet some of the people who were involved in making this game, including Skeli. We'll come back after the League to face these guys. On the next floor is a Battle Girl who gives us Mission 65: >65 THE STRONGEST THERE IS |||||||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Dehara City - Defeat all of the Unbound devs in Dehara City in a single day! Carry on east to the next house, on the 1F is a Hiker who tells us about the Great Desert that's to the east of town. We'll need the Go-Goggles in order to travel across it, the Hiker will give us a pair if we get through the Gym. On the table are an appropriate consolation prize - Safety Goggles xD. Upstairs we learn a bit about the Rift Cave, apparently anybody who ventured into it has never come back. Good to know :/ North of that building, on 1F, you'll find a Combusken with a Passho Berry and a woman who has the Hoenn Starters. Have some room in the party, first one is free but second one requires you have 6 Badges. Upstairs get 2 Yellow Shards from the Beauty if you want to learn Thunder Punch from her grandma. Northwest from that building is an apartment owned by some rich fellow from Seaport City. On the second floor is a Gentleman who gives you an Air Balloon. There's also a Fisherman who gives us Mission 47: >47 PYUKUMUKU CHUCKER ||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Dehara City - Pyukumuku have been washing ashore and are scaring away the tourists! Throw them all back in the ocean. The reward for this one is a Power Band. In the building east from that one is a Gentleman on 1F who'll buy any "ores" you have. Stones, Pearls, Nuggets, Gems, Shards etc. The Nerd in the hallway will buy Rare Bones from you. Upstairs if you've filled up the Dex enough the old man will give you a Binding Band. On the northern beach, the boy Tuber gives you a hint about when to be here for Sandygast - Sundays and Wednesdays. If it's Saturday you'll find them. Don't worry about exploring Rift Cave yet, because that Ruin Maniac by the entrance says it's like Turnback Cave. Use the Dowsing Machine on the left side of the entrance to find an Ultra Ball. You can go in for the Pokémon though: Golbat [Poison/Flying] Haunter [Ghost/Poison] Duskull [Ghost] Golett [Ground/Ghost] Bronzor [Steel/Psychic] Chimecho [Psychic] Bronzong [Steel/Psychic] Dusclops [Ghost] When you're done, head for the Game Corner. The man roaming outside gives us a Coin Case. DEHARA GAME CORNER ------------------ Like in many other Game Corners, make use of that Dowsing Machine to get some change :) for more change go and bother that Gentleman on the right, then the Sailor and the man in blue on the left side. The Gambler on the upper left gives us Mission 02 A Life of No Regrets: >02 A LIFE OF NO REGRETS |||||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Dehara City - All bets are off! Get 7 jackpots while gambling in the Game Corner. 10000 Coins if you crack that one. At the counter, the lady on the right sells Coins and lady on the left has the goods: 50 Coins P1000 500 Coins P10000 2000 Coins P40000 5000 Coins P100000 Destiny Knot 500 Coins Emolga [Electric/Flying] 500 Coins Expert Belt 1000 Coins Hawlucha [Fighting/Flying] 1000 Coins Wide Lens 1000 Coins Eevee [Normal] 1500 Coins Zoom Lens 1000 Coins Klefki [Steel/Fairy] 3000 Coins Metronome 1000 Coins Dratini [Dragon] 5000 Coins Silk Scarf 1000 Coins Porygon [Normal] 9999 Coins Leftovers 4000 Coins Weak Policy 5000 Coins Life Orb 9999 Coins TM16 Light Screen 2000 Coins TM32 Double Team 3000 Coins TM33 Reflect 2000 Coins TM43 Secret Power 3000 Coins TM58 Endure 1000 Coins TM61 Will-o-Wisp 4000 Coins TM75 Swords Dance 4000 Coins TM87 Swagger 2000 Coins TM113 Echoe Voice 2000 Coins ....Several hours later.... After you're done, sit next to Looker and talk to him so that he and Jax can finish gambling. We step outside and continue the Shadows discussion. While that's going on Hoopa shows up and you know what happens next, but this time Jax goes through the portal alsoooo.....!! [rtrv] RUINS OF VOID -------------------- HMs Needed: Surf, Rock Smash, Rock Climb, Dive. Pokémon Found (All Day B3F - B1F) ............. Baltoy [Ground/Psychic] Yamask [Ghost] Duskull [Ghost] Sableye [Dark/Ghost] Bronzong [Steel/Psychic] Dusclops [Ghost] Lunatone [Rock/Psychic] Solrock [Rock/Psychic] Sigilyph [Psychic/Flying] Cofagrigus [Ghost] (Rock Smash) Geodude [Rock/Ground] (Surf) Tentacool [Water/Poison] Tentacruel [Water/Poison] Mantine [Water/Flying] ((Ruins of Void Exterior)) (Old Rod) Magikarp [Water] (Good Rod) Shellder [Water] (Super Rod) Shellder [Water] Cloyster [Water/Ice] Kingdra [Water/Dragon] ((Ruins of Void Exterior)) (Underwater) Relicanth [Water/Rock] *sigh* Damn it Hoopa. After Jax figures out where we are he sees some Grunts at the top of the stairs. The Grunts have seen us and use Light of Ruin to not only destroy the way up there but deal some serious damage to Jax's Staraptor when he sends it after them :/ however, an entrance to the ruins has been created now. Jax doesn't have any other Pokémon with him so it's best for him to stay out here and play healer. Main Mission update: Location: Ruins of Void - Explore the Ruins of Void and make your way to the main room! -B3F- That Abra near the entrance is our way back to Dehara City. Head all the way east to pick up Zygarde cells #51 and see a tablet with this message: STAYING OUT OF SIGHT IS THE KEY. Huh, alright. Head all the way west (use the Dowsing Machine to find a hidden Dusk Ball in the upper left corner) and follow the path to an ancient switch you should flip. Go north from the entrance until you can turn east then south to another switch. Flip it and continue north to switch #3 and a Max Repel. Back track to where you turned east and head all the way up to the switch in the northwest side. Back track a bit to the new path going west, you'll see a north way with rocks to smash (leads to TM31 Brick Break). Back to the west path and the ladder at the end of it. Get ready because as soon as we reach the next floor... -B2F- ...we're stopped by a guardian in the form of a Claydol! o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o >>POKé BOSS FIGHT<< o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o Claydol - The Clay Doll Pokémon Level: 40 Type: Ground/Psychic Ability: Levitate Moves Known: Body Press, Stored Power, Cosmic Power, Power Split Item Held: Leftovers After we defeat it, Claydol goes on to create a exit for us. There's a hidden Full Heal here. Follow Claydol out onto the slope and circle round to another entrance where we see Claydol again. A cutscene comes up: That unknown Grunt and his subordinates are now aware of us making our way up there, but he's not worried. He sends them to stall us. Great :/ -B2F- There's a Dusk Stone in the upper left corner and a sliding tile puzzle of Hoopa ready to be solved. After getting that puzzle done continue into the next room and climb the ladder. -B1F- We see Claydol making its way out. That item almost hidden by the south wall is Odd Incense. Once outside head up to pick up Zygarde cells #50 then southeast to see Claydol at the next entrance. The 2 Grunts have noticed Claydol and they try to stop it when Claydol appears by them, but the Grunts fail. When we reach the entrance we see Staraptor on the right and soon Jax joins us, he heals Staraptor and tells us that we're one floor away from facing the Shadows. If you need to heal you'll find him on the western slope. Inside the next area we're instructed to defeat the Guardians of the Portals in order to move forward. That's a Spell Tag in the corner. There won't be a chance to heal in between the Portal battles, so prep up one more time if you need to and then let's get to work! =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>GUARDIANS OF THE PORTAL<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= Raikou - The Thunder Pokémon Level: 40 Type: Electric Ability: Inner Focus Moves Known: Thunderbolt, Aura Sphere, Hidden Power, Body Slam Item Held: Sitrus Berry Entei - The Volcano Pokémon Level: 40 Type: Fire Ability: Inner Focus Moves Known: Sacred Fire, Iron Head, Stone Edge, Hidden Power Item Held: Sitrus Berry Suicune - The Aurora Pokémon Level: 40 Type: Water Ability: Inner Focus Moves Known: Air Slash, Mirror Coat, Scald, Body Slam Item Held: Sitrus Berry Phew, back to back battles against the Legendary Beasts? Damn, but that was fun :) the portal closes and you can step on the square tile to move up. The 2 Grunts are still out here and still hurting from their tangle with Claydol, but just before we can enter the chamber ahead they spring up to stop us. Shadow Grunt - Cofagrigus [Ghost] - Sableye [Dark/Ghost] Prize: P1216 Grunt B also wants to fight but Jax shows up in time to keep the Grunts busy while we go on ahead. He'll still heal your team if you need that. In the chamber there's a hidden Nugget and in the corridor below the ladder there's a hidden Zinc. Then we reach the lowest area and two other Grunts grab and bring us forward so we can watch the big show: Ivory tells Zeph to proceed with the unbinding. Zeph asks where Marlon is but Ivory doesn't know. Zeph lets out the Legendary Birds and brings out the Prison Stone, with all those now assembled the seal can now be undone. He ends up with the Prison Bottle which should unleash the dark force...but nothing happens despite the Bottle being open. And just in time, here comes the former mysterious Grunt now in a new outfit - meet Aklove! He applauds Zeph for going through the unbinding process all proper but the problem is Zeph doesn't have the specific Pokémon which that dark power belonged to. Zeph tries to get rid of him by sending Houndoom but Aklove has Hoopa and Houndoom goes away via portal. This makes Zeph assume that Aklove is the one who kept rescuing us but Aklove confirms that only Hoopa did all that rescuing because we are its true Trainer (!) Aklove just wants to get rid of us and then become Hoopa's new Trainer. Zeph yields and lets Aklove finish the unbinding. In an instant Unbound Hoopa is here! We then find out that Aklove is a descendant of the Kalosian King from the Great War and he isn't planning to teaming up with Zeph because he's got his own goal of making up for what the King failed to do: win the war and bring the Ultimate Weapon over from Kalos to ruin Borrius. Aklove's loyal Grunts bring us to him and now is his chance to get rid of us. Hoopa then summons a Legendary opponent for us, here we go! =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>POKé BOSS FIGHT<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= Ho-Oh - The Rainbow Pokémon Level: 40 Type: Fire/Flying Ability: Pressure Moves Known: Sacred Fire, Brave Bird, Earthquake, Recover Item Held: Sacred Ash That's not enough for Aklove, he has Hoopa summon Ho-Oh's counterpart! =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>POKé BOSS FIGHT<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= Lugia - The Diving Pokémon Level: 40 Type: Psychic/Flying Ability: Pressure Moves Known: Psychic, Toxic, Earth Power, Roost If two Legendary Pokémon can't get the job done, then fire sure will. Hoopa terminates us by incineration! Game Over. ...or not? We wake up in a snowy area. Nowhere to go but up and as we head there we see the Harths run past us. Oh. Then we find Marlon and he's a little surprised by us being here. This is the Judgement Zone, a place which resembles the homes of those who have departed and also where they are judged. For Marlon he sees a lot of water since his home region was full of it. He reveals that he once worked with our Dad and his words have stuck with Marlon right up to when he died. Suddenly Aros appears (?!) wait, no, not Aros but a spirit from the afterlife that's here to pass judgement. Marlon is given one more chance to make up for what he did and is sent back to the land of the living! Is that a wise decision, xD? As for us it turns out there's a curse on our soul (wait, what??) but we will also be sent back with our own mission to save souls. Sweet Resurrection, but what was that about the curse on our soul?? We return to that B2F area where the unbinding happened. Use the Dowsing Machine to locate some hidden Sacred Ash and then return to the outside area, there's Chansey and Abra. Back to Dehara City and then return to Route 4. Check the Mission Log: Location: Cinder Volcano - Go to the entrance of Cinder Volcano west of the waterfall! [rtcv4] CINDER VOLCANO (Route 4 West) ---------------------- HMs Needed: (Lava) Surf, Rock Smash, Rock Climb, Strength. Pokémon Found (All Day) ............. Woobat [Psychic/Flying] Slugma [Fire] Salandit [Poison/Fire] Camerupt [Fire/Ground] Graveler [Rock/Ground] Excadrill [Ground/Steel] Heatmor [Fire] Magmar [Fire] (SWARM) Vulpix [Fire] (Rock Smash) Geodude [Rock/Ground] Shuckle [Bug/Rock] (Lava Surf) Slugma [Fire] Magcargo [Fire/Rock] -1F- Look at this, a new Grunt in a fancy new outfit :) but he's too busy nursing whatever injury he's got. There's a hidden X Attack here. Only when we aim for the ladder does he step up to battle us. Light of Ruin Grunt - Floette [Fairy] - Ribombee [Bug/Fairy] - Sylveon [Fairy] Prize: P1560 The Light of Ruin, that's the new big bad group we'll have to worry about now eh? Great and the cherry on top is from his reaction to us being alive and well. He rushes down to tell the others. -B1F- We arrive just in time to see Marlon confronting Crater Town Gym Leader Véga, Marlon can't believe he isn't with the Shadows anymore and Véga can't believe Marlon's alive. Marlon demands to know where he put the Shadow Warriors and is told that they've been moved. Véga got a fine offer from Aklove so he's part of this Light of Ruin crew now. Just before he and that Grunt from 1F can team up against Marlon we show up to even the odds. A Tag team match with Marlon as our partner? Pay-per-view main event right there :) ((/~~~~~~~~~~~~/\~~~~~~~~~~~\)) >>LIGHT OF RUIN ADMIN BATTLE<< ((\~~~~~~~~~~~~\/~~~~~~~~~~~/)) Light of Ruin Admin Véga and Light of Ruin Grunt - Liepard [Dark] (holding a Dark Gem) - Floette [Fairy] - Honchkrow [Dark/Flying] - Sylveon [Fairy] - Mega Absol [Dark] (holding an Absolite) - Ribombee [Bug/Fairy] Prize: P8120 **BATTLE NOTES: - The negative emotions effect from Véga's Gym is back, so be prepared. Véga orders the other Grunts to return to a base in Vivill Town. As the Grunts leave, Marlon and Véga continue their battle elsewhere and that lets us continue exploring. On the right are Zygarde cells #17 and a hidden Red Shard. That entrance on the right leads to a chamber where we find a Heat Rock. The left side chamber has TM76 Stealth Rock and the remains of a Shadow Warrior, remove the cloak and lay it to rest. Back to the main area and head south, use the Dowsing Machine on the way to locate a hidden Max Revive. In the southwest corner is a Lava Cookie. -B2F- We see Marlon threatening to throw Véga into lava if he doesn't tell him where those Shadow Warriors are. Véga takes a leap of faith and falls through a portal that suddenly appears. Marlon is about to jump into it after Véga but the man returns with some info from Aklove about this place: Groudon's resting place was found by Aklove and his crew during the construction of the base here but they didn't report this to Zeph. Véga has the Red Orb and summons Groudon in its Primal form! Even if Véga won't cooperate Marlon says he'll follow after the Grunts to Vivill Town after getting Zeph from Frozen Heights. Véga makes his getaway after ordering Groudon to shake things up here, we have to keep it from going on a rampage! =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>POKéBOSS FIGHT<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= Groudon - The Continent Pokémon [Primal Form] Level: 40 Type: Ground/Fire Ability: Desolate Land Moves Known: Earthquake, Earth Power, Hammer Arm, Bulk Up Item Held: Red Orb Groudon returns to slumbering under the lava. Marlon says he'd prefer to work alone, he doesn't want us to go to the Shadow Base in Frozen Heights because Zeph wouldn't agree to us working together to find those Shadow Warriors. But the main Mission update says: Location: Shadow Base - Return to the Shadows' base in Frozen Heights and find Zeph! Can't be helped. Use the Dowsing Machine on the western side to locate a hidden Burn Heal, a hidden Dire Hit and pick up a Star Piece from the upper left corner. On the east side there's an Elixir and a hidden Ultra Ball by that small rock in the upper right. Nothing else we can do here for now so exit and, well, head back home :) You can stop by Prof. Log's Lab for some new dialogue now that the dark force has been unleashed. Gotta find Jax and save Borrius. Shouldn't be a problem, I think. Get on the ice and slide to the upper left corner, back to where it all began eh? [rtsb] SHADOW BASE ------------------ -1F- Follow the corridor east (nothing we can do in the area where we were held captive until we have that Clearance Level 2 Key Card), you'll find Marlon's uniform. Put it on, we really don't have a choice haha. Neat threads. Move up and enter that small room on the left to get a Hyper Potion. Speak to the Scientist and learn that a red-haired fellow forced his way in here. Axelrod? on the left side of the room is a Level 1 Key Card. Then head for the elevator up top and select B1F. -B1F- After opening the door check that plant on the left for a hidden Pearl. Enter the room on the right, there's hidden Calcium and the Level 2 Key Card is on the table. Go back to the 1F area where we started this game, open that door and pick up that amazing, super important, much needed...Rare Candy! If you were expecting to get a super cool Item after all this time, I'm really sorry xD if it helps I'm just as disappointed as you might be. Return to B1F and reach the east end of the corridor, there's a hidden Dusk Ball by them boxes. In the northwest room is a Black Flute. The western room has Zygarde cells #52. We'll need the Level 3 Key Card to access that southwest room. But the south room only needs the Level 1 Key Card, go in to pick up Protein and another Dusk Ball. The Grunt at the table will ask for a battle, sure why not. You can fight him as many times as you like. Shadow Grunt - Scrafty [Dark/Fighting] - Malamar [Dark/Psychic] Prize: P1312 Back to the elevator and down to B2F. -B2F- Move south along the eastern side to find a Scientist who's up for a battle and reminds us of that other shady group the Science Society. Like the other Grunt you can battle her multiple times. Shadow Scientist - Mawile [Steel/Fairy] - Vikavolt [Bug/Electric] - Bronzong [Steel/Psychic] Prize: P1280 **BATTLE NOTES: - Interesting to see that each Pokémon that's in battle gets a boost of their Attack power. How is she doing that? She'll heal your team afterwards. On the south side is the lab where Hoopa sent us. This is where Shadow Warriors are created :| thanks science. There's an Ether in the bottom left corner, Zygarde cells #53 in the upper left and the Level 3 Key Card on the opposite side. Exit the lab and head up to try out the new Key Card. TM41 Torment acquired. Back to B1F's southwest room to pick up some shades :) then off to the very bottom. -B3F- As we go west we'll see the red-haired person unlock the door and proceed. Moments later we find out that person is Marlon (!) wow. Where's our Rival for this major reveal? Zeph is here but he hasn't recovered from the most recent events, he doesn't even recognise Marlon at first. But everything clears up and Zeph brings Marlon up to speed on what has happened. When we enter the room Zeph can't believe we're alive and suddenly attacks us, while blaming us for what happened. Yup, nice to see you too Boss. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >>BOSS BATTLE<< xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Boss Zeph - Mightyena [Dark] {Intimidate} - Decidueye [Grass/Ghost] {Overgrow} - Mega Gengar [Ghost/Poison] {Shadow Tag} (holding a Gengarite) - Exploud [Normal] {Soundproof} - Umbreon [Dark] {Synchronize} Prize: P8600 **BATTLE NOTES: - Zeph has 2 Hyper Potions. >> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mightyena Moves: Swagger, Fire Fang, Sucker Punch, Take Down - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Decidueye Moves: Spirit Lock, Low Sweep, Leaf Blade, U-Turn - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - M.

Zeph confirms that he has a plan to attack the LoR base, Marlon then shares with him the info about Vivill Town. Aklove isn't in Borrius at the moment, he and Hoopa are in Hoenn to test out Hoopa's power so now would be a great time to attack that base. Marlon asks us to join in the raid on the base. Regardless of which answer you give, Marlon will go on to explain the Shadows' real purpose *cue that flashback sequence music*: 19 years ago... Marlon and Ivory visit Zeph just after his son died. It is revealed that Marlon and Ivory also had a son who passed away, they tried to bring him back to life but failed. Later on Ivory gave birth to twins and they were being taken care of by Prof. Log. Well, well. Then another major reveal: Aros was not only a friend of Zeph's but he was part of that Science Society! Shocking. Zeph asks Marlon and Ivory to help him bring his son back to life, he is certain that with Arceus' power it is possible. Although Marlon and Ivory tell him the opposite they end up helping him. Even Aros would help but because too much time had passed since Zeph's son had passed away Arceus could not bring his soul back from beyond the Judgement Zone. So Zeph and company turned to good old science. In the next scene we see them conduct the first trial in the creation of a human-Pokémon hybrid a.k.a a Shadow Warrior! The great Guardian of Borrius, our Dad, created the very first Shadow Warrior ladies and gentlemen xD Father of the Year material right there-- but he doesn't get to enjoy this moment because the Shadow Warrior kills him with a burst of fire! Just like that. Zeph tells Marlon and Ivory that they have to carry on, the money is there for them to get more people (money which Zeph has had since he sold Cube Corp. to "those lunatic scientists"). Over the next several years the Shadows and the Science Society worked together on creating more Shadow Warriors but still they couldn't create something that would retain memories from its previous life and the relationship between the organosations soured. The Shadows eventually moved on to a new plan - Operation Eternal Flower, which would involve the dark force and bringing the Ultimate Weapon here so that they can use it to restore their children. Back to the present time and Zeph apologises for attacking us now that he knows we're Aros' child. It's time to leave for Vivill Town, Marlon tells us that we must head northeast from Dehara to reach Vivill...but we don't know how to Surf yet so after finding the hidden Houndoomite in this room and leaving the base prepare yourselves for the Dehara Gym! (And we get to keep Marlon's uniform, neat. The Costume Box is not yet available though...) By the way, back in Dresco Town there is that old man who lives with the "Save 100 times" Mission guy. He told us about Aros and was hoping someone would let him know what happened to him. Go back and talk to the old man again now that we know, he'll reward us with a Fairy Gem. [g5] DEHARA CITY GYM ++++++++++++++++++++ Leader: Galavan - Prepare to get zapped! Ha ha ha! *cue random clap of thunder in the background* I've seen a few comments from people about this Gym, mainly concerning the puzzle xD maybe we might need to roll up our sleeves for this one. The Gym Guide tells us that Electric and Steel-types are used here, that's not a bad combo. The floor is magnetised, which will keep any Electric or Steel-types in the air so Ground-type moves won't be of much help. The puzzle involves electric barriers which need to be lowered in order for us to reach Galavan. Fair enough. Go to the east side and stand on the left switch. In the next area go southwest then north to another switch which takes us to a Magnet. Back to the previous area and move up to meet Ezra Super Nerd Ezra - Luxio [Electric] - Probopass [Rock/Steel] Prize: P1600 He clues us in on how the bulb above him works. Turn it on and return to the main Gym area and step on the switch up top. In the next area carry on northward to Humphrey. Worker Humphrey - Magnemite [Electric/Steel] - Magneton [Electric/Steel] Prize: P1640 Interesting note from him - grounded Pokémon can't fall asleep here. Use the switch above him, it takes us to another switch that sends us to Luca's spot. Guitarist Luca - Manectric [Electric] - Electrode [Electric] Prize: P1312 Onto the switch below him and in the next area use the switch on the right to reach a bulb to be switched on. Back to the previous area and go north to a switch and pop up next to Giselle.

That item on the upper right is an Escape Rope. From the bottom right corner of that unfrozen patch of floor, slide down to the southeast to pick up TM69 Rock Polish. Return to that unfrozen floor and slide onto the ice from the upper left, then down and all the way to the northwest side. Don't smash the rock yet if you want that item directly above you (PP Up) and that's an Elixir on the left. After those items make your way back to the unfrozen floor and slide off from the south, once you reach the rock, don't smash it, slide to the right then down, right, up, left and now you can get the hidden Big Pearl. We'd have to fall from 1F to reach that TM ball so don't worry about it for now. Exit Icicle Cave. /ROUTE 2\ - East from here is a little portion of Route 15...

A silly Mission really because after all that cutting the man informs us that the Pokémon Rangers have gotten involved because the grass is endangered so his plan goes down the toilet...but hey, you get a Beedrillite in the end and another Mission done. On the north side are hidden Tinymushrooms and we can finally reach Zygarde cells #12. /ROUTE 4\ - South of this route are Routes 13 and 14, let's cover them next.

Mega Trainer Osean (xD, clever name) - Pelipper [Water/Flying] (holding a Damp Rock) - Samurott [Water] (holding a Focus Sash) - Kingdra [Water/Dragon] (holding a Haban Berry) - Ludicolo [Water/Grass] (holding a Water Gem) - Mega Gyarados [Water/Dark] (holding a Gyaradosite) Prize: P4300 **BATTLE NOTES: - Osean has a Full Restore.

Nice way to complete our coverage of Routes 13 and 14, return to Route 4 and we get back into Cinder Volcano. /CINDER VOLCANO\ - Eastern 1F: We can pick up that TM35 Flamethrower now. - Western 2F: Surf east from the Chansey, you'll see an Item ball nearly hidden by a rock structure - Dusk Stone. On the southeast side is a Magmarizer. /VALLEY CAVE\ - B1F, southeast corner: Energy Root that appears there often. Southwest area: TM44 Rest. /AUBURN WATERWAY\ - Northern side, from Route 6: Zygarde cells #36. Just southeast from the shore is Harold.

Cut them and go up to find TM89 U-Turn. Carry on east to pick up Zygarde cells #37 and then south to that sad clown who gives us TM18 Rain Dance. For a moment I thought he's just some dodgy fellow watching Nicole xD maybe if this was Pokémon Clover that would've been the case :) let's go back to the stranded Hiker and hear his story: he got to this island by digging through a hidden tunnel but his Graveler learned a new move and forgot Dig in the process. Happens all the time xD be ready because once we go into the tunnel there's no going back until we reach the other end. But first, we gotta prove to him that we're good to go down there. This is for Mission 31. Hiker Finn - Graveler [Rock/Ground] - Lairon [Steel/Rock] Prize: P1280 >31 ISLAND SAVIOUR |||||||||||||||||| Location: Auburn Waterway - A Hiker needs your help getting off an island! Bring a Pokémon with Dig to help help him escape. Our Pokémon uses Dig and down we go! [rtlt] LOST TUNNEL ------------------ HMs Needed: Strength, Rock Smash. Pokémon Found (All Day) ............. Graveler [Rock/Ground] Woobat [Psychic/Flying] Lairon [Steel/Rock] Diglett [Ground] Dugtrio [Ground] (Rock Smash) Geodude [Rock/Ground] Graveler [Rock/Ground] Damn it's dark here, Flash won't help :/ Finn tells us that there's a ladder around here somewhere. Terrific, who knows how long we'll be here. On the bright side at least our character isn't claustrophobic :) behind us is Chansey the healer and respawn point. Take a few steps south until you can head left. Continue west until you see a northward path, follow it all the way to a rock you must smash and past it is an Aggronite. Return to the corridor going south from Chansey and carry on along it all the way to a rock that's got a hidden Luminous Moss. Just before we reached that rock there was a northward path we passed, use the path until you can go west. We get to an intersection where there's a sudden quake and we're attacked by a wild Diglett. After defeating it go south all the way until another quake stops us, this time a wild Golem appears. Continue with the path to reach Zygarde cells #38. Back track to the northward turn we just passed before getting to the cells, go along it until you are at a junction. The south way leads to a smash rock and Max Repel. Go north and then east all the way to our next battle - a Dugtrio stops us. That's the last wild attack, continue along this path all the way to the exit ladder. In the next chamber Finn has Graveler use Rock Smash to make an opening and we are finally out. Guess what the reward for this is? Yup, TM28 Dig! Finn had it all along xD. Damn it Finn. Mission 31 completed. The opening leads to the KBT Expressway, we are next to the Ghost Gem Family member. /TEHL TOWN\ - On the right side near the KBT Expressway entrance: Nugget. /ROUTE 10\ - Southeast side: Zygarde cells #35. At the top of the stairs from there is a Blue Shard. Southwest from there is an island with an Item ball (Dawn Stone) and a hidden Max Elixir on the bottom left from the island. /ROUTE 9\ - In the area after the Underground Passage house, surf across the pond and check the bottom left corner for TM77 Flame Charge, hidden by the treetop. - On the island in the middle of the lake: TM30 Shadow Ball and Zygarde cells #32. /ROUTE 7\ - On a piece of land just south from the Fisherman's house: Protein. /FROST MOUNTAIN\ - 1F southeast side: There's an Aggron here, if you get close to it Aggron will blow you away with a big roar. Very random. Climb the stairs and continue to the upper southeast area for a King's Rock. /FALLSHORE CITY\ - Behind the building southwest of the KBT Expressway entrance: Silk Scarf. Head to the beach and go east onto Route 11, we'll see Elliot along the shore. Fisherman Elliot - Toxapex [Poison/Water] - Lanturn [Water/Electric] - Sharpedo [Water/Dark] - Whiscash [Water/Ground] Prize: P1248 Continue all the way east to a portion of the cliff that can be scaled, near that spot are Zygarde cells #40. /ROUTE 11\ - Now you can reach this route's Raid Den, just to the right from the Cliff Cave entrance: [rd11] Route 11 Raid Den (2 Stars) (3 Stars) Exeggcute [Grass/Psychic] Exeggutor [Grass/Psychic] Meowth [Normal] Persian [Normal] Yanma [Bug/Flying] Yanma [Bug/Flying] Spoink [Psychic] Grumpig [Psychic] Meditite [Fighting/Psychic] Meditite [Fighting/Psychic] Absol [Dark] Absol [Dark] Venonat [Bug/Poison] Venomoth [Bug/Poison] (4 Stars) (5-6 Stars) Exeggutor [Grass/Psychic] Exeggutor [Grass/Psychic] Persian [Normal] Persian [Normal] Yanmega [Bug/Flying] Yanmega [Bug/Flying] Grumpig [Psychic] Grumpig [Psychic] Medicham [Fighting/Psychic] Medicham [Fighting/Psychic] Absol [Dark] Absol [Dark] Venomoth [Bug/Poison] Venomoth [Bug/Poison] /EPIDIMY TOWN\ - Southwest corner: Quick Ball. Sit on any of the benches to pick up a free healing item (I got a Burn Heal this time). /THUNDERCAP MT.\ - 1F southwest area: TM24 Thunderbolt. - 2F southeast area: Max Ether. Past that is a ladder in the corner, it takes us to that section of 3F which has the tablet. We'll find an Electirizer in the bottom right corner. In the northeast area is the other puzzle we needed to solve. Down below I've numbered the boulders so that you know which ones I'll be referring to in the solution: (12) (05) (11)(10) (04) (09) (03) (07)(08) (02) (06) (01)XX XX represents our starting point. Push 03 to the left, 04 up, 02 down then 03 down. 09 to the left, 08 down, 10 up. Now you can move 06 to the left and smash the rocks so that 11 is free for the pressure plate. After that go back south and jump down the ledge to tackle the remaining puzzle. Nothing much to it, just smash the rocks and push the boulder to the plate. The electric barrier in the northwest disappears and we can go on to collect a Manectite. There's also that ladder which we pass on the way to getting the Manectite, use it and on 4F surf east and go all the way until you have to go north. Use the Dowsing Machine to find a hidden Nugget in that corridor. Turn right then head south to meet a guy who saw a mysterious yellow Pokémon on a ledge around here. He needs a special machine to help him dig through that wall and reach the ledge. We can make a note of this guy, maybe we'll find out what that machine is later. Go all the way north, we'll end up in an area where we meet Milo, a boy in a Pika-costume. He got lost so we must take him with us to the exit. This is Mission 68. >68 THE WAYWARD KID ||||||||||||||||||| Location: Thundercap Mt. - A little boy has lost his way in Thundercap Mt. 4F! Team up with him, and guide him to the exit. Back track to where we turned east before meeting the "yellow Pokémon" guy, from there head north for a Double Battle against Phillip and Tina. Camper Phillip & Picnicker Tina - Sandshrew [Ground] - Happiny [Normal] - Snivy [Grass] Prize: P1600 Carry on west then south, southeast to find Calcium. Go back and go north all the way until the path splits west and south. Go south then southwest to find Daryl and Dario. Daryl is the Hiker on the left, he's the only one between them that you can fight in a Singles Battle. Hiker Daryl - Omastar [Rock/Water] Prize: P1312 Hiker Dario - Kabuto [Rock/Water] - Aggron [Steel/Rock] Prize: P2688 Carry on south then southeast to Dwayne and Martha, both of them are Double Battlers so we might as well face them at the same time. Camper Dwayne & Picnicker Martha - Dedenne [Electric/Fairy] - Oshawott [Water] - Tepig [Fire] - Wormadam (Plant Cloak) [Bug/Grass] Prize: P1620 Search the rocks below them for a hidden Timer Ball. Back to the Hikers and head east then south all the way to a ledge above a ladder. Milo stops us and makes his way out, leaving behind TM73 Thunder Wave and we complete another Mission. Don't jump over the ledge yet, go all the way back to the north side then west and south, surf across a pool and you'll get to a Rare Candy. Return to the Hikers and go southwest, we'll find Miriam, Benward and a Thick Club. Lass Miriam - Buneary [Normal] - Clefairy [Fairy] Prize: P640 Youngster Benward - Raticate [Normal] - Zigzagoon [Normal] Prize: P624 Now we can go for that ladder and back to that 3F tablet area and then 2F. Once you've made it back there, go north from the southeast section. You'll see a lower level on the left side, in there is an Item ball on the bottom left side of a pool (Electric Seed). - 3F north area: across the pool is a ladder taking us to a secluded 2F area where we meet Gerald. Cyclist Gerald - Fletchling [Normal/Flying] - Staraptor [Normal/Flying] Prize: P1312 Return to the main 3F area, in the northeast section is a Protein and that marks the end of this backtrack session, phew. Wait until we get that Rock Climb move, that session is going to leave stretch marks xD because there are some places where it is easy to miss the Rock Climb spots. Exit the mountain and go back to Dehara. We have the Great Desert to prepare for now and who knows what surprises are in store for us there. Just before we enter the eastern Gate we're stopped by Axelrod. This guy misses all the action and wasn't even there for the biggest reveal so far, damn. He made it to the Ruins of Void but it was too late. Then we tell him about how we died and came back to life. Looker shows up, he apologises for not jumping into the portal after us and Jax. We tell him what happened at the Ruins and the mission to Vivill Town. For Looker it's an opportunity to round up the Shadows and the LoR. Axe also wants to be involved, still having his vendetta against the Shadows. Looker tells him to hold off on going after them until this operation is done and Axe agrees. He will be waiting for us in Vivill. [rtgd] THE GREAT DESERT ----------------------- HMs Needed: Rock Smash, Strength, Rock Climb. Pokémon Found (All Day) .............

In the bottom right corner is a hidden Yellow Shard. Go north to see a clown between rocks, smash them and find out that in order to truly free him we must smash the other rocks which are to the west from here and north of the southern canyon (once you succeed he'll give you TM37 Sandstorm). Return to Rode and head west, there is a pair of breakable rocks on top of a dune...one of them yields a Hard Stone. South of the dune is a small rock with a hidden Iron below it. Carry on south to Super Dave. Youngster Dave - Sandslash [Ground] - Vibrava [Ground/Dragon] Prize: P656 South from him is a breakable rock on top of a dune and Nelson.

Camper Drew - Hippopotas [Ground] - Inkay [Dark/Psychic] - Yamask [Ghost] - Sandile [Ground/Dark] Prize: P800 Southwest from him are Zygarde cells #59 between the cacti. To the east is the entrance to the Tomb of Borrius, the final resting place of King Borrius III. This whole dark force business started with him, so many thanks to KB3 xD. According to that Ruin Maniac by the entrance there is quite the treasure in the burial chamber but nobody has succeeded in fully exploring the tomb. Hmm, the challenge would be worth accepting if there wasn't a trio of Ruin Maniacs inside keeping us from checking the place out. One of the Maniacs is occupied with the tile puzzle which unlocks the door to the rest of the tomb so just make a note of this place for later. Return to Black Belt Kiyo and go east until you see a white-haired man standing on a cliff. He's a member of a warrior cult called the Undying Lucario and the giver of Mission 74 Warmonger which requires us to have competed in at least 2000 battles. If you have achieved this feat he will induct you into the cult and reward you with a Lucarionite. South from him is Dawson's pit. Collector Dawson - Klefki [Steel/Fairy] - Sliggoo [Dragon] - Maractus [Grass] Prize: P1344 Just southwest of the pit is a hidden Yellow Shard. South from there is another sealed Regi tomb rock formation, Rock Incense on the left and Larry. Ruin Maniac Larry - Crustle [Bug/Rock] - Hippowdon [Ground] Prize: P1968 Check those bones on the right for a hidden Max Repel. Continue north, there's a hidden Carbos south of the route signboard and then a few more steps east into town. We survived the Great Desert...barely!

Make a note of the Medium in the PokéCenter, we'll come back for her in the post-game with the special item she requires. Interesting to know that east from here is Route 18 and Victory Road. According to the Ace Trainer in the PokéCenter there is currently no Borrius Champion! The spot is vacant...but for how long though? Now I'm curious to see what the League for this region is like. When you're ready head north for Vivill Woods, there's a hidden Charti Berry near the entrance. [rtvw] VIVILL WOODS ------------------- HMs Needed: Surf.

He searched around for any Shadows but no luck, and the residents aren't there too. He did find one guy by a warehouse in the northern area of town so Axe is going over there to get some answers. Next to the northeast house are Zygarde cells #63. The guy standing guard outside the warehouse is a LoR Grunt who isn't exactly worried about two Trainers showing up. Even after Axe tells him that backup is on the way, the Grunt just says there are more Grunts waiting inside the warehouse to keep any intruders out. Then there's a brief scene showing a large ship arriving and with the help of several bombs the ship makes its way through the eastern side of town. Ahh, so THAT'S the backup. Axe sends out his Starter to knock out the Grunt so we can enter the warehouse. VIVILL WAREHOUSE ---------------- HMs Needed: Surf, Strength, Dive. Pokémon Found .............

Axe wants us to come up with a plan but before we do, a Shadow Warrior appears and eliminates the Grunts with fire. The last Grunt opens the door just before he's burned and the Shadow Warrior makes a move against us. Shadow Warrior (Lv61) Type: Ghost/Dark Ability: Tough Claws Moves Known: Dragon Claw, PhantomForce, Flamethrower, Swords Dance **BATTLE NOTES: - All its stats get a boost right at the beginning of the battle. That Grunt from outside has recovered and he stops us right before we can follow Axe downstairs. Light of Ruin Grunt - Granbull [Fairy] Prize: P2160 Why battle us when he's targeting Axe? He rushes past us... -B1F- ...and is defeated again by Axe. The Grunt then makes his escape by means of a warp panel. Axe wonders what happened to the other Grunts that we were told would be here. .....Moments Ago..... We see those Grunts receiving instructions from their Admin who is watching from the Command Centre. They are ready for the attack by the Shadows....there's some rumbling and just when the Grunts are getting a little too comfortable they're surprised from behind by a Shadow Warrior team and moments later the Grunts go up in smoke. Huh, so that explains the scattered fires. Axe continues forward, using the same warp panel. There are 4 of them. On the left side are stairs leading to the now flooded Research Lab, this is where we find a warp panel under the boulder in the southwest corner that sends us to B5F. Marlon and Zeph are there, unable to progress into the Command Centre because of a door which requires a 6-letter password. Zeph is certain that one of Aklove's people knows the password. Marlon tells us to watch out for the Shadow Warriors, they'll attack us on the spot. But you guys brought them here! Return to B1F and use the bottom left warp panel. -B2F- (Rest Room) Move up to remove the Shadow Warrior's cloak and face it in battle. This one is at Lv45. The LoR Grunt thanks us for defeating the Shadow Warrior by giving us one letter of the password to the Command Centre: O. He'll also heal our team and share information about the structure of this base: it is split into 8 areas, the important ones being the Power Grid, Break Room, Cafeteria, Rest Room and Research Lab. Step on the top warp panel and pop up in another section of B2F where there's an unfriendly Grunt. Light of Ruin Grunt - Mawile [Steel/Fairy] - Gardevoir [Psychic/Fairy] Prize: P1800 Take those stairs down to B3F. -B3F- Among the left side boxes is a hidden Fairy Gem and below them are Zygarde cells #65. The warp panel on the bottom right takes us to a small room on B2F occupied by another unfriendly. Light of Ruin Grunt - Whimsicott [Grass/Fairy] Prize: P1800 He gives us password letter A. Return to B1F and use the top left tile to reach the Cafeteria. While those two Grunts are busy, you can pick up that Hyper Potion on the upper right table before going to the next warp panel. -B2F- (Kitchen) That's a Whip Dream on the table. After defeating the Shadow Warrior we take on the Grunt. Light of Ruin Grunt - Floette [Fairy] - Shiinotic [Grass/Fairy] Prize: P1800 He gives us password letter K and reveals that one of the Admins is a woman. Ignore that upper left warp panel, it leads to the Break Room and a warp panel connected to the upper right panel on B1F (the one Axe used). Go for the bottom right warp panel, it takes us to a tiny B1F room which has a hidden PP Up and a warp panel that sends us to the southeast room on B3F. That Grunt from outside is here and so is another Shadow Warrior. We save the Grunt from certain death and he has a change of heart towards us, enough for him to tell us password letter V. That item on the right is a Sachet. Back to B1F for the bottom right panel. -B2F- (Power Grid) Dispatch the Shadow Warrior and then the Grunt. Light of Ruin Grunt - Floette [Fairy] - Togetic [Fairy/Flying] - Dedenne [Electric/Fairy] (holding a Sitrus Berry) Prize: P1760 Next password letter is L. Continue east to find Zygarde cells #64 and the next warp panel. There's a Max Revive in the next room and the stairs lead us to another Grunt. Light of Ruin Grunt - Azumarill [Water/Fairy] - Floette [Fairy] - Klefki [Steel/Fairy] - Comfey [Fairy] Prize: P1840 Use the panel on the far right to reach a room with a hidden Gardevoirite. Back to B1F and then the door on B5F. We got password letters O, A, K, V and L...we rearrange them a bit and get AKLOV. Input that and the Scientist throws in the E. Bingo. Axelrod shows up with the password but as usual he's late to the party :) the sour cherry on top is that he doesn't recognise Marlon, so he isn't too happy about being "bossed around" by him. We bust into the room to meet one of the Admins - Ivory (!?) Damn. She joined Aklove after Zeph gave up at the Ruins of Void and she accepted Aklove's big offer: join the LoR to destroy Borrius and then have a chance to use the Ultimate Weapon, which will be powered by the Shadow Warriors that the LoR have obtained. But if Borrius is destroyed, Ivory's home and family will be gone too...she counters this by revealing that Aklove said he'd protect Ivory's children until this is done. Zeph orders the Shadow Warrior which they brought along to apprehend Ivory but a portal opens up to send the Shadow Warrior away and look who's back just in time, Aklove and Unbound Hoopa. His trips to Hoenn and Kalos in search of the Ultimate Weapon have been stopped because thanks to the explosive entrance by the ship earlier, the Research Lab was destroyed and so no more Ultimate Weapon data. However Ivory and her team learned enough to confirm that the Ultimate Weapon is not at its original location. Zeph attempts to attack Aklove but he's sent away via a portal, possibly to his death in Cinder Volcano. Marlon and then Axelrod also are sent away, safe from harm just like Ivory wanted. You have a chance now to check your team and prepare if you need to. After that step up so we can challenge that luminous maniac! \\\~~~~~~~~~~~~/\~~~~~~~~~~~~/// >>LIGHT OF RUIN LEADER BATTLE<< ///~~~~~~~~~~~~\/~~~~~~~~~~~~\\\ Light of Ruin Leader Aklove - Klefki [Steel/Fairy] {Prankster} (holding Light Clay) - Florges [Fairy] {Flower Veil} - Togekiss [Fairy/Flying] {Serene Grace} - Unbound Hoopa [Psychic/Dark] {Magician} - Primarina [Water/Fairy] {Torrent} Prize: P10000 **BATTLE NOTES: - Aklove has 2 Hyper Potions. >> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Klefki Moves: Reflect, Light Screen, Thunder Wave, Play Rough - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Florges Moves: GrassTerrain, Moonblast, Grass Knot, Wish - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Togekiss Moves: Yawn, Dazzle Gleam, Air Slash, Aura Sphere - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - U.

[rtdw] DISTORTION WORLD ----------------------- HMs Needed: Strength, Surf. We'd forgotten all about this guy :/ how long has he been here?? Arthur told him about this place, there are no Pokémon except the ruler of this world Giratina. Jax suggests we find it, hoping it knows how to send us back home. Follow him to the next platform and stand on the spot in the middle - a new path is created, carry on along it to the east then south and west, turning upside down until you reach the next platform with a middle spot you should stand on. Next area, go south to find Jax, he warns us about how not everything here is as it seems so we should stay sharp. Easier said than done :| brace yourselves. Follow the path east and north to a spot that creates a platform on the right. Carry on eastward along that upside down platform to the spot you'll see on the upper right. Reach a point where there's a spot on the right and one below it, go for the lower spot and on the new platform that's created go south since the right side has a boulder in the way. On the south side we arrive at a curious little boulder puzzle. Push the boulder twice to the left, the circle round to the second boulder and push it until the first boulder is under the pressure plate. Then just push the second boulder up. There's a sudden rumbling. Random. Get to the bottom left side and continue southwest to a platform with a middle spot and 5 rocks. Stand on that spot. In the next area go all the way to the platform in the south, the boulder puzzle there involves black and blue obstacles that disappear and reappear when you approach and move away from them. It's not a tough puzzle, just time your movements with how the obstacles vanish and reappaear. Once the boulder is on the pressure plate there's another sudden rumble. Back track to the platform before this one and move to the northeast side where there are 2 boulders. Push the lower one to the right so that the top one falls through the hole. Return to the previous area, go east to see the boulder which fell here. Push it all the way up, then the left boulder to the right. Continue going to the right using the other boulder until you reach the plant, then push the boulder down and up to move the far right boulder. Solved. Go all the way west then south, east and northeast. This puzzle has 2 boulders, the left boulder moves the right one. Move the left boulder twice to the right then twice back to the left. Twice to the north, then go move the second boulder to the right. Back to the first boulder, move it up once then right once and up one more time to solve this. Make your way back to the very first boulder puzzle platform, from there go northwest then west to a platform with a middle spot. In the next area go east all the way to scale down a waterfall and continue south to push a boulder down (this is the very first boulder we saw on our way south earlier). Once you've pushed the boulder far enough Jax comes along to confirm we're on the correct path. Step on the middle spot on the next platform and we move to the next area where Jax sees Giratina ahead. He heals our team, you get a chance to prepare and then proceed north to meet the ruler of this world. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x Giratina - The Renegade Pokémon (Origin Forme) Level: 47 Type: Ghost/Dragon Ability: Levitate Moves Known: Dragon Claw, Shadow Claw, AncientPower, Slash Giratina seems to understand our situation and after it disappears, a portal back to our world opens. Jump in and we are reappear in Rift Cave. Good time to update Jax on what happened in Vivill Town, after that he hurries back there. The townspeople have come back now so let's explore town. The Lass near the town entrance gives us Pure Incense. In the PokéCenter there's a guy who gives us Mission 71: >71 TRADER TRATOR ||||||||||||||||| Location: Vivill Town - Are Pokémon just property? Trade Pokémon with Borrians to find out! If you've done all the NPC trades in the game so far then there should be 2 remaining trades according to this Mission's Log. The Official Guide states that one trade is here in Vivill and the next one is in a place called Redwood Village. The reward for this Mission is 10 Link Stones. The Bird Keeper in the PokéMart wants to see a specified Pokémon stat each day, if you have it you get rewarded. The southwestern house has Shroomu the Youngster who wants to trade either his Shiinotic for an Amoonguss or vice versa. The northeastern house has a Nerd who will teach Seed Bomb for 2 Green Shards. The Gentleman in the northern house hears the "prehistoric" sounding cries of a Pokémon from somewhere in the Warehouse. West of Vivill is the other half of Route 15, surf west along the upper side to reach Zygarde cells #66 and Trainer Tips signpost #31. One of the 2 Swimmers who were blocking on the south side is still here, Sandra. Swimmer[F] Sandra - Pyukumuku [Water] - Octillery [Water] Prize: P1104 The strange rainstorm from before is gone now and Sandra drops some choice hints about what might have been causing it. Back to Vivill and into the Warehouse, return to the Command Center and pick up a Shiny Stone and a Power Lens. Outside we see Looker updating Jax on everything, a lot happened while we were stuck in the Distortion World. Looker and his team were unable to arrest the LoR crew because Hoopa teleported everyone away. Axelrod arrives, good to see he's alright, and he informs us that he and Marlon sent Aklove to a prison in Crystal Peak, a mountain in East Borrius. Axe managed to escape but Marlon was recaptured. Looker says he'll prepare for us to travel to East Borrius from Seaport City. Axe simply Flies back to Crystal Peak, that showoff xD. Jax and Looker also Fly off, and we're left to take the long way to Seaport....but first we have to reach Antisis City and challenge the Gym. So it's the long way + detour, lovely :) return to Gurun Town and continue south. [rt16] ROUTE 16 "Desert's End" --------------- HMs Needed: Surf, Rock Smash, Cut, Rock Climb, Dive.

A few moments later we're joined by a man who knows what that "invisible wall" is and gives us the Devon Scope, aha. Kecleon becomes visible and flees. The man thinks we're not bad as a Trainer, we'd make for a worthy challenger to face the Antisis Gym Leader who has grown bored. Carry on south to find Miah. Aroma Lady Miah - Tangela [Grass] - Lilligant [Grass] Prize: P1536 Cross the bridge below, Olivia is on the other side.

If we continue east we'll get onto Route 17 and receive some real bad news - a bridge to Seaport has been destroyed thanks to the never ending feud between Zangoose and Seviper :/ I thought maybe we could reach Seaport, make it a fast travel point, and then continue on to Antisis. The boss of that Worker crew gives us one hell of a consolation prize though - HM08 Rock motherflunking Climb! There it is folks, at long last. I really dislike Rock Climb xD because you have to hope you've got Pokémon that can learn the damn move! So I usually give a sigh of relief when I play a ROMhack which does not have it...but here we are :) I'll give credit to Pokémon Clover for improving Rock Climb by giving it 100 Accuracy and I think its Type was changed from Normal to Rock. Back to Route 16, going southwest to meet Andrew on his island. Fisherman Andrew - Corsola [Water/Rock] - Toxapex [Poison/Water] Prize: P1536 That's a Dive Ball on the other side.

Next door lives a Scientist who was sent here by the Science Society to do some work but she can't sell us what she's got since we're only a child. We'll check on her later. Just north from the PokéCenter are Zygarde cells #69 behind a lamp post. Next to the Antisis Storage Building, almost hidden by the top of the lamp post, is a PP Up. The northeast exit leads back to Route 16, just outside of town is the tollgate man Fletcher. Roughneck Fletcher - Pangoro [Fighting/Dark] Prize: P1372 On the left side cliff you'll see the currently unreachable Zygarde cells #68 but just up ahead are Trainer Tips signpost #32 and a Max Repel. Back to town and then east to the Port. ANTISIS PORT ------------ The guards stationed around the port will battle you every time you visit the port at night. Starting with McGuinty, then Holt in the northeast corner and finally Peralta in the southeast: Officer McGuinty - Noctowl [Normal/Flying] - Stoutland [Normal] - Machoke [Fighting] Prize: P980 Officer Holt - Arcanine [Fire] Prize: P1000 Officer Peralta - Mienshao [Fighting] - Lucario [Fighting/Steel] - Magneton [Electric/Steel] Prize: P980 On the far east side is a Sailor who gives us a few Premier Balls from a batch that has just come in. There are barricades in place which keep us from reaching certain items, according to the Worker on the south side the barricades are moved throughout the day. I'll list the items that are there and you can decide which ones to come back for, but the Zygarde cells #70 are only reachable after 8pm: - Throat Spray (south side, open around 6pm) - Petaya Berry (from the Worker in the northwest area around 6am) - Max Potion (above the northeast containers, around 9am) - Hidden Galladite (on top of eastern crates, reached from southeast side around 12pm.) - Assault Vest (above central containers, reached from southeast side around 12pm.) A former Terror Granbull member lives in the southeastern house, he gives us a Max Potion. In the southwestern house is a Shocker who needs something "eerie" to help him feel better. You have to show him a Pokémon that knows Eerie Pulse (such as Voltorb, Electrode, Lanturn, Heliolisk etc) and he'll give you TM107 Acrobatics. Let's check out our gang's hangout. BLACK [PLAYER] HQ ----------------- Our pal James is here, he's glad to see us and informs us that the crew are preparing to attack the Black Ferrothorns. In the meantime we can help out some of the gang members, like the fellow who is plopped in front of the TV. He gives us Mission 22: >22 FLUSHED AWAY |||||||||||||||| Location: Black [Player] HQ, Antisis City - Someone's havin' toilet troubles! Help your fellow Black [Player] by retrievin' his socks from the sewer. This guy, xD *sigh* he adds that the socks could be covered in grime so we'll have to search real hard for them. We'll attempt that Mission after doing the other ones. The dude on the bike has Mission 41 Odd Odd Docks: >41 ODD ODD DOCKS ||||||||||||||||| Location: Black [Player] HQ, Antisis City - It pays to look innocent. Help a fellow Black [Player] smuggle some goods off the port after 8pm. Those goods just so happen to be Oddish Leaves, a favourite of a certain Gym Leader from way back in our adventure :) we are to meet up with the Goon at the port between 8pm and midnight. We'll find him on the eastern side, ready to accept the shipment of "Weepin' Bells", xD. Right. Just after the ship leaves a couple of Black Ferrothorn Goons show up hoping to nab the O-Leaves. Our Goon goes off to stash the goods somewhere while we stay to deal with these fools. Black Ferrothorn Goon - Ferroseed [Grass/Steel] Prize: P3920 Black Ferrothorn Goon - Escavalier [Bug/Steel] Prize: P4000 Our Goon returns with a cop, just in time to arrest the Ferro duo for trying to smuggle Oddish Leaves. Brilliant :) once the coast is clear the Goon says we now have to find the Leaves, he hid them between crates on the western side. Make use of that Dowsing Machine and once you've found them return to HQ (the port Gate guard actually smells the Leaves on us but hey, we're just a kid after all xD nothing suspicious). The Goon rewards us with some Dream Mist, made by that guy up in Dresco Town Mirskle. Just bring him Oddish and you get more Dream Mist. This is the pay off for not setting the cops after him way back at his Gym. Upstairs, of the first 2 Goons speak to the left one if you're up for a fight against the pair of Black Ferrothorn Goons riding in the eastern side of town. This is Mission 3 A Minor Scrap. Black Ferrothorn Rory - Weezing [Poison] - Muk [Poison] - Ferroseed [Grass/Steel] - Krokorok [Ground/Dark] Prize: P3760 Rory gives Chad back his Pokémon and they decide to use some enhancers on them this time. Black Ferrothorn Rory and Black Ferrothorn Chad - Weezing [Poison] - Krookodile [Ground/Dark] - Muk [Poison] - Ferrothorn [Grass/Steel] Prize: P7680 **BATTLE NOTES: - Weezing's Sp. Attack, Krookodile's Attack, Muk's Sp. Attack and Ferrothorn's Attack get a boost when they enter battle. That'll teach them, although they warn us about someone named Barbs who'll avenge them. Return to HQ for our reward - a Power Bracer. Another Mission done. The far left Goon gives us Mission 51: >51 SUPPLY AND DEMAND ||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Black [Player] HQ, Antisis City - Hit the Black Ferrothorn where it hurts by cutting off the supplies they receive from a scientist. We're going back to that Scientist who wouldn't sell us stuff. At her house the Goon tries to threaten her into giving up the goods but the woman has all the tools she needs to defend herself - exploding Electrode wired into the floor! Our fellow Goon is knocked back and now it's our turn to weave across the room to the Scientist without setting off the explosives. Here we go: from the entrance go 2 steps left, 1 step up, 1 step left, 2 steps up, 1 step right, 1 step up, 5 steps right, 3 steps down, 1 step left and we've reached her. Up next is our very first battle against a member of the Science Society. Science Society Scientist - Electrode [Electric] (holding a Normal Gem) - Electrode [Electric] (holding a Normal Gem) - Electrode [Electric] (holding a Normal Gem) Prize: P3240 **BATTLE NOTES: - All the Electrode get their Attack raised just so they can go out with a literal bang. Nasty. She sets an explosive off while trying to escape and is out cold. Go and inspect the window, that's where we find the stat enhancers. The Goon takes them and the Pokémon on the table back to HQ. Create space in your party and speak to him to receive an Alolan Grimer Egg. Now we can tackle that Flushed Away Mission, or die trying. Use the HQ stairs. [rtas] ANTISIS SEWERS --------------------- HMs Needed: Flash, Surf, Waterfall. Pokémon Found (All Day) .............

Turn west, on the next landing are hidden Grimy Socks - ugh...well, at least we found them without a struggle. Also here are Zygarde cells #72. Back to Area 1. Cross the bridge back, return those socks and receive Black Sludge as a reward. Wow, the same grime that covered them socks yo and the guy wears them immediately! Dude, xD. Back into the sewers, descend the ladder below and jump over to the southeastern side. Don't climb the next stairs yet, stay on the lower level and head all the way north to find a hidden Nugget.

Worker Ramon - Throh [Fighting] Prize: P1960 We're done with the sewers for now, exit and return to HQ. James and the guys are ready to face the Black Ferrothorns. They plan to attack from the sewers. Here comes Mission 54: >54 THE BATTLE OF ANTISIS ||||||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Antisis Sewers - It's time to bring the fight to the Black Ferrothorn! Meet the Black [Players] down in the sewers. Prepare if you need to and then go back to Area 2 of the sewers, all the way south from the pipe entrance. James has planted a bomb to create an opening into the Black Ferrothorn's HQ, it goes off and the crew invade! BLACK FERROTHORN TURF --------------------- -1F- Some Goon battles already in progress here, James has made his way to the top floor to confront Barbs so move on up. -2F- Gotta be careful here because the floor has those exploding Electrode traps. From the stairs move 2 steps left, 2 steps down, 3 steps left, 1 step up and then pause to observe that Ferro Goon's movement pattern because we have to make our way down to the tile just under the second potted plant from the bottom of the corridor. If he sees us we'll be sent back to the stairs. Once you've reached that tile, go 1 step right, 1 step down and get next to that box on the right. 1 step down, 2 steps right, 1 step up and then simply circle around to reach that item ball below (Rare Candy). -3F- No explosives here. There's a hidden Poké Doll by that box in the corner and that Goon on the left is one we can fight. Black Ferrothorn Goon - Ferroseed [Grass/Steel] - Klang [Steel] - Throh [Fighting] - Mawile [Steel/Fairy] Prize: P3840 To open that door we'll have to win a little round of Simon Says: watch the flashing light sequence of the machine towers on the upper right and turn them on accordingly - top, right, top, left, right. -4F- Black Ferrothorn Goon - Ferroseed [Grass/Steel] - Pawniard [Dark/Steel] - Lairon [Steel/Rock] Prize: P3920 There are explosives in the southwest area, get to the bottom row of tiles (there should be 5 tiles between you and the box in the corner). Take 2 steps left, 2 steps up, get to the potted plant and then the Full Restore. Now for the towers: bottom left, bottom right, top left, bottom right, bottom left, top left, top right. -5F- Hidden Max Potion by the box below. One would think that Goon is just there to promote this latest puzzle: left, bottom right, bottom left, bottom right, right, left, bottom left, top. But he'll play interference when you light up the right side tower. Black Ferrothorn Goon - Ferroseed [Grass/Steel] - Sawk [Fighting] - Bronzong [Steel/Psychic] Prize: P3920 After the battle just continue the sequence (left, bottom left, top). -6F- Top floor, check on your team if you need to and then proceed into Barbs' room. James doesn't believe that Barbs will fight fair so he pimps up our team before we take on Barbs. Plus there's a Chansey available if a restart point is needed. There can only be one gang in this city and it ain't the Black Ferrothorn! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >>BOSS BATTLE<< xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Black Ferrothorn Barbs - Pangoro [Fighting/Dark] {Iron Fist} - Scrafty [Dark/Fighting] {Moxie} (holding a Fighting Gem) - Ferrothorn [Grass/Steel] {Iron Barbs} (holding a Rocky Helmet) - Alolan Muk [Poison/Dark] {Poison Touch} Prize: P4080 **BATTLE NOTES: - All our Pokémon have their Defense boosted when they enter battle while Barbs' Pokémon get a drastic boost. - Barbs has a Max Potion...and a signature laugh like he's a character from One Piece, xD. >> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pangoro Moves: Crunch, Bullet Punch, Sky Uppercut, Rock Slide - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Scrafty Moves: Crunch, Dragon Dance, Hi Jump Kick, Facade - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Ferrothorn Moves: Thunder Wave, Ingrain, Gyro Ball, Power Whip - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A.

As much as Barbs respects and all he still goes on to kick us out. Outside we'll pick up a Heracronite with a note from James, it just says that we're all that is left of the gang now. How do we keep up the good fight when we've become a gang of one? Damn. So ends our disorganised crime adventure, the only thing left to do around here is meet Big Mo. [g6] ANTISIS CITY GYM +++++++++++++++++++++ Leader: Big Mo - There ain't no tougher man in existence! We find out that Big Mo's a big fan of Fighting-types and the Gym involves a Ring Challenge in which Flying, Psychic and Fairy-type moves can't be used.

In between battles the Pokémon will be healed. Our first opponent is Riff. Roughneck Riff - Sawk [Fighting] Prize: P1400 Next up is the Hak'.

Roughneck Griff - Emboar [Fire/Fighting] Prize: P1400 Ring Challenge completed, go get the rest of the team and move on to meet Mo outside. How old school, we'll be duking it out in a back alley :) might as well throw in a soundtrack for games like Def Jam or Final Fight: Streetwise. Indeed, Big Mo is the same guy who gave us the Devon Scope. Small world. He's the real big boss around here, keeping Antisis' underground world in check. Maybe he found out about the big gang mini war from earlier.

Descend the ladder on the west side. -1F- HMs Needed: Rock Smash, Strength. We are now on the puzzle side of that new 1F area from our Surf Backtrack trip and it looks we'll be sliding all over this place for a bit. Let's start with the top side: slide onto the ice from top right corner. Then slide left and up to get a hidden Ice Stone. Simply slide right, down and left to get that Full Restore below. Back to the ladder, slide onto the ice from the top left and then slide right, up and onwards to get that Calcium up top. After getting it slide down, left and down to the rock which is above from the ladder. Slide all the way east, up and get that Dusk Ball in the northeast section. Those Skiers on the left...is that a nod to the trio of Ace Trainers that have a secret training spot in Johto? Slide out of that northeast corner and get underneath the smaller one of the 2 rocks directly below. From there slide left, down, right and you can go on to pick up that Moon Stone. Slide back to the left, up, left, down, left and all the way south then southeast so we can face Charlie before getting the Wise Glasses. Skier Charlie - Delibird [Ice/Flying] - Aerodactyl [Rock/Flying] - Noivern [Flying/Dragon] Prize: P1632 Back onto the ice: left, up, left, up then right, down, left and up to face a small rock.

Make your way back to the ladder and slide onto the ice from the bottom right. The last rock you end up at has a hidden Blue Shard. Reach the stairs and head for the exit below to get a Rose Incense that we would see on a cliff on Route 2. Back inside to solve a small puzzle: the idea is to move that boulder to the hole on the left and fall in after it. Once you're back in that B1F just slide up to get a hidden Big Pearl from the tall rock that's in front of you. Then slide down, left, down, left, up, right and you can finally grab that TM14 Blizzard. Done and done. /BELLIN TOWN\ - Next to the northeastern house: TM97 Frost Breath. Remember this is the house of Terrance - that man who became Alolan Sandslash's Trainer. He's up for a friendly match if you are. Let's see if his training has been paying off. Pokéfan Terrance - Lv47 Alolan Sandshrew [Ice/Steel] (holding a Focus Sash) Prize: P1880 Not too bad, you can battle him once a day.

Also on the ice is a clown who needs help getting off of it. After you pick up the cells slide back off the ice, one step down, slide back onto ice - you should be above the clown now. Push him down then to the right off the ice, for helping him you get TM07 Hail. There's a hidden Bright Powder by the small rock on the bottom left, slide back onto the ice, up, right and down to get it.

Go east from there, near the bridge is a hidden Max Potion.

Maybe we'll check back with them after the League. Back to 1F, western side near the ladder above the Painter: Full Incense. Way over on the southwest side is a Rare Bone. In the northwest section is a Dusk Stone and a tablet: ENGAGING FROM BEHIND IS THE KEY. ...any ideas about that one? Anyone??

On the central rocky mound is a White Herb. /ROUTE 8\ - Yeah, this is one of those routes I mentioned where it's easy to miss the scaling spots in the rock walls - like the one which is on the far right side near Camper Evans, he's the guy running back and forth in the area northeast from Battle Girl Jessica. But oddly enough nothing is there.

North of the PokéCenter is the Battle Frontier Gate, but the facility is currently being renovated. We'll find out from the old lady roaming near the PokéMart that Aros helped with its construction. Behind the Mart is TM12 Taunt. In the southwest section of town are Zygarde cells #77 near the warehouse and a Scientist who may have seen that Electivire-stealing Scientist from some time back. He saw her going to the Eastern Warehouse on the docks and he mentions that there's a password hidden under one of the crates. Go south to the beach and surf to the tiny island below for a hidden Slowbronite. Back to the Scientist and just east from him is the Inverse Double Battle House. INVERSE DOUBLE BATTLE HOUSE --------------------------- For the rules of the place or to heal your team speak to the Nurse. In the 1F room we find Suryu and Abraham.

It's time to hatch 10 Eggs total! Succeed and you'll get a Baby Monitor (lets you check how the Pokémon left at the Day Care are doing, showing their current Levels and number of Eggs) and Mission 07: >07 ARMOURED MAGMA |||||||||||||||||| Location: Pokémon Breeder's School, Seaport City - Things are starting to heat up! Hatch 50 Eggs total! Complete that one and receive a Lv50 Ditto with perfect IVs, a different Trainer ID, Metal Powder AND Mission 36: >36 MASTER INCUBATOR |||||||||||||||||||| Location: Pokémon Breeder's School, Seaport City - Can you prove you're the master of hatching? Hatch 100 Eggs total! This one gets you the Magma Stone: "This key item will reduce the number of egg cycles needed to hatch a Pokémon by half and this effect will stack with the effect Flame Body or Magma Armor. Therefore, egg cycles will be quartered with both effects." - Official Guide. We also need the Magma Stone in order for Heatran to appear in the post-game! The female Breeder above him will look after one of your Pokémon. If you have a Pichu bring it to the guy sitting at the back of the class, he just wants to pet one so let him and he'll give you the Spiked Ear Pichu which we'll need for a Legendary summoning later :) it's holding a Light Ball. The Breeder on the top left will give you an Everstone if you show him a Pokémon that cannot evolve. The top right Breeder wants to see a female Pokémon that knows Attract, if you have one she'll give you a Destiny Knot. Let's check out the Market: [P500 each] Razz Berry Magost Berry Durin Berry Bluk Berry Rabuta Berry Belue Berry Nanab Berry Nomel Berry Wepear Berry Spelon Berry Pinap Berry Pamtre Berry Cornn Berry Watmel Berry At night instead of the Berry Vendor I found a Kalos woman who will raise one Pokémon's IVs in exchange for one Bottle Cap. The Battle Girl gives us TM114 Natural Gift and if you bought any of those Berries that work with the move, she will give out information about them. There's a hidden Max Revive by the right side blue pot. [P1000 each] Fast Ball Level Ball Lure Ball Heavy Ball Love Ball Friend Ball Moon Ball TM53 Energy Ball P20000 TM57 Charge Beam P10000 TM84 Poison Jab P20000 South from the Market is the Battleground house, unfortunately only members are allowed (and is currently unavailable). Below the cliff is a Sticky Barb. Across from the Battleground is a Fisherman's house, he's part of a fancy club known as the Hip Waders and each day he'll tell you a specific Pokémon to catch for a prize like 5 Lure Balls. On 1F of the house next to the Mart, if you have a Pokémon that is 20 centimetres long or smaller show it to the Youngster each day for a prize like a Poké Doll. The Pokédex's Smallest Mode will help you out if you're having trouble. The Lady living with him gives out Mission 43 Pangs of Hunger. Show her a Pyukumuku and then a Probopass, the reward for this is 3 Balm Mushrooms. On 2F there's a Medium who wants to see a large Pumpkaboo and she'll give you rewards like 5 Dusk Balls. In the room we'll get a Bottle Cap from the Ruin Maniac, he found it while digging through the collapsed doorways in the KBT Expressway with his ADM. Apparently it does quite a number on the old wallet xD I can't wait to find out how much this item costs. His roommate wants to see big Pokémon each day e.g. a Pokémon which is more than 7 metres long like Steelix and she'll give us prizes like a Fluffy Tail. Make some room in your party before going into the next house. On 1F speak to the Parasol Lady from Alola, you get the first Starter for free but need 7 & 8 Badges for the remaining two. At night her busy hubby will be home and he'll give you a Lum Berry. In the corridor is the owner of this building, he could help us secure a home for that old man we met in Epidimy Town...but this guy needs help finding his beloved Pokémon who ran away after the two of them had a fight. He'll follow us as we search around town for the "real estate queen" who is small and pink. Exit and return to the town beach, we find the man's Skitty about to be caught by a Biker and a Burglar who are looking to sell it. Stop, thieves! Burglar Swizer and Black Ferrothorn Bullo - Combusken [Fire/Fighting] - Shieldon [Rock/Steel] - Grovyle [Grass] Prize: P8400 The thugs run off, but from the sounds of it they aren't done with the man. He reunites with Queenie the Skitty and we must take them back home. When we reach the front door though the man suddenly vanishes and Swizer comes back to tell us we should head over to the western warehouse to rescue the man. Also, we must only bring Pokémon which are Ice or Fairy-types. How specific. Sort your team out, make sure to have someone who can move boulders and let's go. SEAPORT WESTERN WAREHOUSE ------------------------- Swizer meets us here and says the man is downstairs. If you need to leave the warehouse for any reason just talk to Swizer. Also if it's Friday or Saturday for you today then Mimikyu will be there. Once in the basement go south, the first left turn just leads to a Worker who hears Mimikyu's cry. The fun begins along the next turn, we find a pair that Swizer brought in to deal with us. Black Ferrothorn Goon and Burglar Milan - Tentacruel [Water/Poison] - Ferroseed [Grass/Steel] - Alolan Sandshrew [Ice/Steel] - Torkoal [Fire] - Escavalier [Bug/Steel] Prize: P8480 Proceed to take the next turn all the way north where we find Queenie's owner. He's rattled but unharmed and will accompany us. Head east then south to pick up a Rare Candy. Back track to go west, just before we face the next guys go south to get a Max Elixir (while down there you might see Mimikyu at the end of the corridor below). Black Ferrothorn Goon and Burglar Colin - Wormadam (Trash Cloak) [Bug/Steel] - Seviper [Poison] - Pawniard [Dark/Steel] - Heatmor [Fire] - Ferrothorn [Grass/Steel] Prize: P8480 Make your way down to the next corridor to catch Mimikyu. The corridor under that one is the correct way but at the end of the southern-most way are these two: Black Ferrothorn Goon and Burglar Hernando - Aggron [Steel/Rock] - Charmander [Fire] - Ferroseed [Grass/Steel] - Litten [Fire] Prize: P8160 Along the correct way are... Black Ferrothorn Goon and Burglar Toby - Steelix [Steel/Ground] - Nidorino [Poison] - Garbodor [Poison] - Torracat [Fire] Prize: P8480 In the southeast corner is a Max Potion, then move up to check for a hidden Audinite before returning to the first floor. Swizer and Bullo are waiting for us with an improved team. One more round against these clowns. Burglar Swizer and Black Ferrothorn Bullo - Blaziken [Fire/Fighting] - Bastiodon [Rock/Steel] - Salazzle [Poison/Fire] - Bisharp [Dark/Steel] - Sceptile [Grass] Prize: P8480 Swizer and Bullo have had enough and they leave for good. Take the man back to his home so we can finally talk business. Super good news for the homeless man - he will be allowed to live on the next floor for free! Hurry back to Epidimy Town to share the news and then come back to check on him. He has settled in nicely and as a reward he gives us an Icium Z. Good ending all round :) On the northwest side of the docks is the KBT Expressway entrance, inside we'll find the Dragon Gem Family member (Scale Shot for 3 Dragon Gems) and then the Water Gem Family member (Liquidation for 3 Water Gems) just a little further on. There is a clown to be found here in the Seaport City Port after you've rescued all the other clowns. He shows up on a particular day and he gives you Castform, so if you want it check the port from day to day for him. To the right of the Shipyard entrance is a hidden Dive Ball and a ship that will take us to Polder Town once we get an S.S. Ticket. In the Shipyard go to the northeast corner for Zygarde cells #78. The Worker below tells us a bit more about the ADM - it performs the same functions as HMs Rock Smash, Strength, Cut and Fly plus TM Dig. Colour me very impressed :) I like it when games offer Key Items like that especially for Flash, Cut, Defog and Rock Climb which are more useful outside of battles than in them. As for that protoype of "The Shadow", is that going to have a role in the post-game update? Or even later on in this one?? And who is this "Z" fellow??? We can make a note of the 2 Scientists: the woman might be able to convert Shards into Creation Plates later on and the man says he can craft a rare item for us if we bring him 4 Sea Shells and 4 Sea Salts from the ocean floor. That rare item is a Shell Bell. Then we meet Davy himself, who says only high society people can afford to buy the ADM and so he won't even give us a price for it until we've proven ourselves. It's that expensive, huh? Darn. Leave the Shipyard and let's visit the Eastern Warehouse down below, it's time to confront that Scientist and hopefully save Electivire. SEAPORT EASTERN WAREHOUSE ------------------------- Zygarde cells #79 on the left. The numbers code for the door are written on the back of the bottom left crate: 3964. In the basement go to the bottom right corner to find a hidden Up-Grade. Circle round to the southwest corridor for TM99 Wild Charge then move over the blue containers on the upper left. We can see that Scientist in the room ahead, don't go in yet, carry on to the end of the corridor to pick up a Max Revive. When we enter the room we find her injecting Electivire, she sees us and admits that she wanted us to follow her here just so we can be a part of her experiment. She then orders Electivire to attack us. o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o >>POKé BOSS FIGHT<< o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o Electivire Level: 50 Type: Electric Ability: Motor Drive Moves Known: Discharge, Fire Punch, Quick Attack, Screech **BATTLE NOTES: - Electivire's Speed gets a sharp boost at the start.

For now though she leaves us alone and we can check on Electivire, it is back to normal and is ready to be returned to its Trainer. When we return to Epidimy, make space in your party and speak to the Nerd for the rewards: an Electirizer, a Power Weight, a Gold Bottle Cap and an Elekid Egg that has Perfect IVs and an Adamant Nature. Mission accomplished indeed. Back at the Seaport docks, east of the warehouse is a box between coloured pots - check it for a hidden Full Heal. Near the Port entrance is the Super Rod Fisherman, he has decided to give up the rod after being the greatest Fisherman ever for so long. Accept the Super Rod and continue his legacy. In the Port we find Jax and Looker receiving some bad news, the S.S. Marine that should be taking us to East Borrius is having engine trouble. But the good news is there's the other ship near the Shipyard, and Jax has an S.S. Ticket for us. The S.S. Marine sails to East Borrius on Mondays and Fridays then back to West Borrius on Sundays and Wednesdays. Look lively ladies and gentleman, we are about to leave West Borrius. Prepare for the next chapter of our adventure :) ((=>EAST BORRIUS<=)) [015] POLDER TOWN {The town situated in a quagmire} ================= HMs Needed: Surf Places of Interest .................. - PokéCenter - PokéMart - Gym - Polder Town Port - Safari Zone Pokémon Found .............

In the southwest area of town are Zygarde cells #89 and the home of a man who needs help getting his daughter out of a TV-induced coma. What was she watching exactly, xD?? This is Mission 70: >70 TOO MUCH TV ||||||||||||||| Location: Polder Town - Find a scientist who studies brain activity to help wake a little girl from her coma. The Scientist we need to speak to is at the Dream Research Lab, he's the guy on the northwest side. Turns out that girl's situation isn't an isolated case, there are 5 children around Borrius who can't stop watching TV. That first girl counts as one so 4 remain, here are their locations: -> 1F room of the Seaport City apartment building where the former homeless man now lives. -> Southwest house in Bellin Town. -> 2F room of the northeast apartment building in Blizzard City. -> The house on the south side in Crater Town's crater, home of the girl who wants to see a Swarm Pokémon each day. Return to the Dream Research Lab and speak to the Scientist, he has collected enough data and goes off to cure the children. When he comes back he says he noticed a strange Pokémon leave their bodies while he was curing them. What could that be? Go back to Polder Town and talk to the man who gave us this Mission. He caught that strange Pokémon after it left his daughter and now we'll receive it from him if we have space in the party: Rotom - The Plasma Pokémon Level: 50 Type: Electric/Ghost Ability: Levitate Moves Known: Ominous Wind, Hex, Substitute, Trick Not too bad :) Mission completed.

Outside the Mart is a Beauty and her trio of Croagunk, each day she will tell you which one of them to watch before they perform a routine and if you correctly point it out you get the prize that Croagunk is holding. The Super Rod Fisherman lives next to the Mart, he's got a sweet gig promoting goods for Cube Corp now. He gives us Mission 09: >09 AVERAGE ANGLER |||||||||||||||||| Location: Polder Town - It's time to whip out your Rod and get fishing! Hook 10 Pokémon. The reward is 10 Dive Balls and Mission 23: >23 GREAT PISCATOR |||||||||||||||||| Location: Polder Town - It's time to whip out the bait and lure in some fish! Hook 50 Pokémon. 10 Heart Scales for this one. The third time's the charm, he has Mission 20 for us: >20 FISHER MASTER ||||||||||||||||| Location: Polder Town - It's time to plant yourself firm and look onward. Hook 100 Pokémon. Make room in your party for Feebas after becoming the greatest angler alive :) Just southeast from the Fisherman's house is a hidden TinyMushroom. At that southeast house is a Lady who'll want to see a Pokémon which knows a specified move each day and if you have it she'll give you a Heart Scale. Her housemate has Mission 06: >06 ALL THE RIGHT MOVES ||||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Polder Town - There are 120 TMs in total. Can you find them all? The reward for getting all them TMs is a Gold Bottle Cap. While I was in Blizzard City during Mission 70 I saw Alice outside her Gym. She has her own little task for us in the form of Mission 30: >30 IF WE WERE MEANT TO FLY ||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Blizzard City - Are people meant to fly? Steal 20 Pretty Wings from Wingull or Pelipper to find out! Two rewards for this, first one is the sight of Alice attempting and failing to become the next Icarus haha and then there's a Power Anklet. The Safari Zone for this game is unlike the standard Safari Zones we're used to, for one thing there's no exploring different Zones/Areas. Instead it is an actual mini game which involves trying to catch the Pokémon as they move around the screen, the higher the Difficulty Mode the faster the Pokémon move. It's still P500 to play and we still receive 30 Safari Balls. No time limit, the game ends when you've run out of Balls. I imagine many players will like this new Safari Zone while others might prefer the traditional version or at least a modified traditional version. I'm on the fence haha, on one hand I didn't mind moving from Area to Area seeing how each game's Safari Zone has been designed plus seeing which Pokémon were there. I don't like that Running from a Pokémon costs some Safari Balls, because there will be sessions where you're just wasting Safari Balls and money skipping the same Pokémon over and over. That gets really boring very fast. But on the other hand I appreciate the absence of a time limit for this game's version. Here are the Pokémon we'll be playing for: [rtsz] SAFARI ZONE ------------------ Pokémon Found (All Day) .............

So, are you ready for the Gym? [g7] POLDER TOWN GYM ++++++++++++++++++++ Leader: Tessy - The swampy camouflage master! HMs Needed: Surf. Ahh, so this is where Mel's old girlfriend moved to. Makes sense. The gimmick for this Gym involves a couple of mechanics: first one makes all Pokémon in battle change to the types of their first 2 moves. The second mechanic keeps us from spending too much time in the water because of a wave (the screen hazes over completely every 6 steps then clears up again). If you're caught while still in the water you will be sent back to the entrance. Fun times ahead :) That platform nearest to the entrance is occupied by Nicholas. Fisherman Nicholas - Stunfisk [Ground/Electric] - Bruxish [Water/Psychic] - Alomomola [Water] Prize: P1696 **BATTLE NOTES: - Stunfisk will appear as a Flying/Water-type. - Bruxish & Alomomola will appear as Water/Normal-types.

Get to the platform which is just northeast from hers then aim northwest and you'll get to Tessy's place. During her introduction it suddenly raining, talk about perfect timing. Changing types and an ongoing shower, that should make for an interesting match for Badge #7! ++++++++++++++ >>GYM BATTLE<< ++++++++++++++ Leader Tessy - Toxapex [Poison/Water] {Merciless} - Mega Gyarados [Water/Dark] {Mold Breaker} (holding a Gyaradosite) - Kingdra [Water/Dragon] {Swift Swim} (holding a Scope Lens) - Seismitoad [Water/Ground] {Swift Swim} (holding a Water Gem) - Armaldo [Rock/Bug] {Swift Swim} Prizes: P9120 + Swamp Badge + HM07 Waterfall **BATTLE NOTES: - Tessy has 2 Max Potions. - Toxapex will appear as a Poison/Dark-type. - M.

Gym Guide dude has a Water Gem for us and as a nice bonus Tessy had the HM that we need right now because it is that magical time once again. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >THE SHORT BACKTRACK: WATERFALL EDITION< >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< /ROUTE 4\ - We can now reach the hidden Full Restore which is by the small rock on the western bank above the bridge. At the top of the major waterfall are a hidden PP Max, Zygarde cells #14 and TM119 Sky Drop above a Rock Climb spot. /VALLEY CAVE\ - B1F western side: Toxic Orb. /FALLSHORE CITY\ - Above the KBT Expressway entrance: Nugget. Move along the southwest cliff to find a hidden Shed Shell. To the right of the eastern waterfall is a hidden Fast Ball and above it is TM29 Psychic. /ANTISIS SEWERS\ - Area 2 eastern side: Leftovers (anyone surprised?), TM36 Sludge Bomb on the south side and if you have a Pokémon that knows Sweet Scent show it to the clown on the northwest side. After the Pokémon uses Sweet Scent we're attacked by a Grimer and a Raticate, both are Lv45. Once they're taken care of speak to the clown again to receive TM109 Defog. Was that the briefest Backtrack ever? Sure seems that way :) Return to Polder Town and prepare for Cootes Bog. [rtcb] COOTES BOG ================= HMs Needed: Surf, Waterfall. Pokémon Found ............. ((Daytime: 04:00am-07:59pm)) ((Nighttime: 08:00pm-03:59am)) Croagunk [Poison/Fighting] Croagunk [Poison/Fighting] Quagsire [Water/Ground] Quagsire [Water/Ground] Sliggoo [Dragon] Sliggoo [Dragon] Drapion [Poison/Dark] Drapion [Poison/Dark] Carnivine [Grass] Carnivine [Grass] Weepinbell [Grass/Poison]* Gloom [Grass/Poison]* Toxicroak [Poison/Fighting] Toxicroak [Poison/Fighting] (SWARM) Croconaw [Water] (Surf) Stunfisk [Ground/Electric] Gastrodon(Green) [Water/Ground] {East} Sliggoo [Dragon] (Old Rod) Magikarp [Water] Poliwag [Water] (Good Rod) Poliwhirl [Water] Barboach [Water/Ground] (Super Rod) Politoed [Water] Whiscash [Water/Ground] Tessy is out here with a Mission which concerns her Swampert but don't accept it yet because she'll tag along and make most encounters a Double Battle. So I propose we explore the Bog first and then come back to Tessy. That Scientist up top also has a Mission, Mission 29: >29 HUNTER OF THE SWAMP ||||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Cootes Bog - Help a scientist learn about the Pokémon living in Cootes Bog! Use the DexNav to help catch them all. You'll get 15 Timer Balls as a reward. Go up along the left side way to the next split in the path, the right side leads to Betty. Pokémon Ranger Betty - Minun [Electric] - Tangrowth [Grass] - Wobbuffet [Psychic] - Spinda [Normal] Prize: P3120 She informs us that there are two ways to through here, via the bog or by using the bridge path. If we continue northeast we'll be going towards Crystal Peak so come back south to the path split and go left. Across the pond is a Max Repel on the left and further on up we find Mason and a hidden Grass Gem. Pokémon Ranger Mason - Golisopod [Bug/Water] - Tauros [Normal] - Rhydon [Ground/Rock] - Swalot [Poison] Prize: P3180 Head straight east to find Heavy Boots. Come back to take the north way, there's a hidden Big Mushroom after the pond. Continue north then east to get TM06 Toxic. Backtrack to the west path we just passed, it leads to Yokohama. Ninja Boy Yokohama - Gulpin [Poison] - Carnivine [Grass] - Toxicroak [Poison/Fighting] Prize: P864 Southwest from him are Zygarde cells #90 and a hidden Big Mushroom just above from them. Back to Yokohama, northwest from him is a hidden TinyMushroom and the Magnolia Town Gate. Go on into town to make it a fast travel point then come back to go northeast from Yokohama. That's Denise on the platform above. Aroma Lady Denise - Simisage [Grass] - Steenee [Grass] Prize: P1728 Cross the bridge to Jocelyn. Picnicker Jocelyn - Natu [Psychic/Flying] - Delcatty [Normal] Prize: P1040 Continue along the bridge path, eventually you'll reach Marvin. Scientist Marvin - Plusle [Electric] - Helioptile [Electric/Normal] - Zebstrika [Electric] Prize: P2640 Cross over to the west side, we'll get off the bridge and head south to Hector. Psychic Hector - Xatu [Psychic/Flying] - Wynaut [Psychic] Prize: P2496 Just below the next bridge platform is a hidden TinyMushroom. Cross that bridge, on the other side is Trainer Tips signpost #35 and we've come back to the beginning so let's hear Tessy's story: her Swampert which serves as the protector the Bog has gone missing at this time when some familiar troublemakers have appeared to disturb the ecosystem. This is Mission 46: >46 PROTECTOR OF THE SWAMP |||||||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Cootes Bog - The Terror Granbull are causin' a ruckus! Team up with Tessy to find her Swampert and restore order. There's a ledge where we picked up a Max Repel, that's a shortcut back to Psychic Hector's area, the first Terror Gran-goons are there now. It had been a while since we last saw them. Only the Goon on the right offers a Singles Battle. Terror Granbull Goon - Granbull [Fairy] Prize: P2200 Terror Granbull Goon - Skitty [Normal] - Granbull [Fairy] Prize: P4400 (same prize if you fight them both) Continue back to the area before we met Scientist Marvin. Terror Granbull Goon & Terror Granbull Goon - Cottonee [Grass/Fairy] - Roserade [Grass/Poison] - Granbull [Fairy] - Granbull [Fairy] - Jumpluff [Grass/Flying] Prize: P4400 Not good, what is this trap they're preparing?

Lv56 each. Feraligatr gets a Speed boost while Drapion's Attack goes up. Drapion leaves after the battle but with Feraligatr still around the Goons spring the trap we heard about - they use some unknown device from the Science Society to Dynamaximise Feraligatr! If you need a Feraligatr, here's your chance to get one! OxOxOxOxOxOxOxOxOxO >>DYNA BOSS FIGHT<< OxOxOxOxOxOxOxOxOxO Feraligatr - The Big Jaw Pokémon Level: 56 Type: Water Ability: Torrent Moves Known: Max Hailstorm, Max Geyser, Crunch, Max Strike **BATTLE NOTES: - The early Speed boost happens here too. The Goons are planning to take over Polder Town and set up a new base there, but Swampert escapes from them and that sends the Goons running. Swampert is okay and all is well again. Tessy rewards us with TM120 Nature Power. Good thing we made it to Magnolia Town earlier, so simply Fly back there and let's check it out before we tackle Crystal Peak.

Next to Moomoo Farm is a Bug Maniac who has Mission 13: >13 BUTTERFLY EFFECT |||||||||||||||||||| Location: Magnolia Town - Scour both West and East Borrius to find the Vivillon hidden about.

In the PokéCenter you'll get Light Clay from the Expert. At the southeastern house there's the "Pep Quiz" hosted by Wye, Aha and Ditoh (who?) It's another daily event. To the east of town are the Magnolia Fields, just a small section of the route because a female Rancher won't let us proceed until she takes a photo of her footprints. There's some grass though, you'll find these monz: Tranquill [Normal/Flying] Noctowl [Normal/Flying] (at Night) Furfrou [Normal] Mudsdale [Ground] Gogoat [Grass] Miltank [Normal] Tauros [Normal] (SWARM) Quilava [Fire] We'll come back to explore properly later, return to town and prepare for Crystal Peak.

Camper Bradley - Alolan Diglett [Ground/Steel] - Kangaskhan [Normal] Prize: P1080 Go south then west to find a Max Potion across a pond.

Above it is the entrance to Crystal Peak...and our Rival Axelrod. One would think he's here to bother us for another Rival battle but it turns out he has been waiting for us here after Jax and Looker passed through. We will be teaming up with him for the trip to the top, plus he can use Surf and Rock Climb. [rtcp] CRYSTAL PEAK ------------------- HMs Needed: Surf, Rock Climb, Rock Smash, Strength. Pokémon Found (All Day B1F + 1F to 5F) ............. Loudred [Normal] Woobat [Psychic/Flying] Onix [Rock/Ground] Noibat [Flying/Dragon] Fraxure [Dragon] Skarmory [Steel/Flying] Deino [Dark/Dragon] Zweilous [Dark/Dragon] (found in the Cube Corp Entrance Area of 1F) (Surf) Golduck [Water] Gastrodon(Green) [Water/Ground] {East} (Old Rod) Magikarp [Water] (Good Rod) Psyduck [Water] Finneon [Water] (Super Rod) Golduck [Water] Lumineon [Water] Qwilfish [Water/Poison] (Rock Smash) Graveler [Rock/Ground] Onix [Rock/Ground] -1F- [Area 1] Catch and evolve a Deino into Zweilous, the remaining NPC trade requires one. Straight ahead is a Chansey, go east to push away the top boulder and descend the ladder. -B1F- Surf east to the next ladder, on the way we'll see a path heading north - there's a mysterious totem puzzle that a Hiker is trying to solve in that area. Noted. -1F- [Area 2] Descend the wall, that's Laurel by the water. Medium Laurel - Drifblim [Ghost/Flying] - Drifblim [Ghost/Flying] Prize: P5280 Below her is Trainer Tips signpost #37. At the top of the stairs on the northeast side is TM05 Roar. In the southwest area is Rosalind and another totem. Scientist Rosalind - Luxray [Electric] - Porygon2 [Normal] Prize: P5184 Back up to climb the northwest wall, there's a hidden item in the upper left corner but we first have to get rid of that big crystal somehow. Head south to descend the next wall for a Max Potion and take on Lucina. Cyclist Lucina - Noibat [Flying/Dragon] - Whirlipede [Bug/Poison] Prize: P3520 Continue south to find an opening on the left, ignore it for now because there are crystals blocking the way in the next area. Descend the wall on the right and move on to meet a pair of LoR Grunts. Light of Ruin Grunt & Light of Ruin Grunt - Swirlix [Fairy] - Igglybuff [Normal/Fairy] - Ralts [Psychic/Fairy] Prize: P4280 Below them is an exit, don't go out yet, climb down the wall on the right. Up ahead is a sealed entrance, we can make a note of it for now, climb up the other wall and check near the pieces of rock in the bottom corner for a hidden Coba Berry. Over on the right side is a ladder leading to an empty B1F room. Back to the exit. -Outer Cliffs- Pokémon Found ............. Drifblim [Ghost/Flying] Rufflet [Normal/Flying] Vullaby [Dark/Flying] Scale the walls until you can go either up or down (to get a Nugget). Scale up then left, and down for an X Defense. Further down for a hidden Full Restore. Back up to scale the northwest wall and follow the walls northeast to Zygarde cells #91. Return to climb the northeast blue wall and carry on to the top, near the entrance is a hidden Escape Rope. -2F- Descend the wall and fight. Light of Ruin Grunt & Light of Ruin Grunt - Marill [Water/Fairy] - Clefable [Fairy] - Shiinotic [Grass/Fairy] - Sylveon [Fairy] Prize: P4320 Continue on to the ladder on the north side. -3F- Surf up and head northeast to the next match. Light of Ruin Grunt & Light of Ruin Grunt - Aromatisse [Fairy] - Slurpuff [Fairy] - Alolan Ninetales [Ice/Fairy] - Ribombee [Bug/Fairy] Prize: P4360 Surf south across the right side pool and after scaling the next two walls check for a hidden Dusk Ball near the second wall. Then just before we can reach the next ladder a trap is sprung: 2 portals appear and out of them come Reshiram and Zekrom! Axe suspects Hoopa was made to put this trap in place, but we can't let even the Tao Duo stop us here. Choose 3 Pokémon and let's go! =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>POKé BOSS FIGHT<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= Zekrom - Deep Black Pokémon Level: (determined by level of player's strongest Pokémon) Type: Dragon/Electric Ability: Teravolt Moves Known: Fusion Bolt, Dragon Claw, Zen Headbutt, Crunch Reshiram - The Vast White Pokémon Level: (determined by level of player's strongest Pokémon) Type: Dragon/Fire Ability: Turboblaze Moves Known: Fusion Flare, Dragon Pulse, AncientPower, Extrasensory **BATTLE NOTES: - Zekrom's Attack and Reshiram's Sp. Attack get a boost. A bit of a rough fight but we got through it. -4F- Head east to the next Grunts. The guy on the left offers a Singles Battle. P4440 is the Double Battle prize. Light of Ruin Grunt - Mimikyu [Ghost/Fairy] Prize: P2200 Light of Ruin Grunt - Togekiss [Fairy/Flying] - Gardevoir [Psychic/Fairy] Prize: P4480 Push up the boulder that's on the left side of the breakable rock once. Smash the rock then push the right side boulder forward and circle round to push the top left boulder aside and continue. Up top we see Marlon and Melony trapped behind a boulder and two rocks. Axe and his Starter free them and we learn that Aklove is about to use the Ultimate Weapon. We're so close to reaching the summit now but Marlon says he had trouble with the next Grunts so he recommends that we find a way to sneak past them. It's interesting to note that Melony isn't convinced yet that Marlon is her father, even though Axe has accepted him. That's a PP Up in the corner. Push that boulder all the way down to block the Grunt's vision and cross over. Clear away the rocks then push the boulder to block the last Grunt. -5F- Porygon and Chansey are here, a sign of trouble ahead indeed. Sort out your team and step outside to join Jax and Looker. They have a plan and while we hear about it things are going smoothly for Aklove and Ivory ahead. The Weapon is fully charged now and ready to be activated. This is where it has been all along, damn. Aklove believes that the ancient Borrians may have used Hoopa to bring it here centuries ago. He asks about Véga but Ivory doesn't know where he is, which concerns Aklove since once the Weapon is activated, well...He proceeds to turn it on but Jax steps in and has Gastrodon interfere with Earth Power. Aklove is shocked to see that he escaped from the Distortion World but he has no problem sending him back there, if only Gastrodon didn't keep Jax grounded with its Sticky Hold Ability. We step up to face Hoopa while Marlon and Axe arrive to stop Ivory from using the Weapon. When we can move again go northwest to pick up a hidden Green Shard then northeast for Zygarde cells #92 behind a rock. Back to Hoopa and watch as it opens a portal that brings out Hoopa's special guest tag team partner - Mega Rayquaza! Ring the bell! =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>POKé BOSS FIGHT<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= Hoopa - The Mischief Pokémon [Unbound Forme] Level: 60 Type: Psychic/Dark Ability: Magician Moves Known: Drain Punch, Space Fury, Space Hole, Dual Chop Mega Rayquaza - The Sky High Pokémon Level: 57 Type: Dragon/Flying Ability: Delta Stream Moves Known: ExtremeSpeed, DragonAscent, Crunch, Dragon Dance **BATTLE NOTES: - Both of their stats rise at the start. After the fight Rayquaza takes off and Hoopa has a serious meltdown, opening multiple portals and sending them in different directions. Véga suddenly shows up and seals the dark force back into the Prison Bottle, thus reverting Hoopa back to its Confined form. Aklove is livid, he orders Véga to unseal the power but Véga refuses and reveals that he's been working for a 4th group, guess who - Science Society. They weren't going to let Borrius be destroyed so they reformed the previously shattered Prison Bottle. This is also where we find out who is in charge of this group, a woman named Fey. Aklove will not turn himself in, even without Hoopa he goes back to activate the Ultimate Weapon and initiate the destruction of Borrius!! ...Or not. Zeph arrives, all well and good, and informs Aklove that he tweaked around with the weapon's settings while Aklove was distracted, so instead of destruction the weapon gives life. Game over for Aklove and for Ivory who thought he was going to use the weapon to bring back her son but nope, Aklove was just using her to get Shadow Warriors. Surprise. Like a classic villain Aklove flees the scene but Jax is on his tail. Zeph survived thanks to his Houndoom which came to his rescue at Cinder Volcano. He couldn't return to help Ivory in time because that would've screwed up his plan. Ivory sees the error of her ways and apologises to her family. But she's not ready to join them and flies off to be alone. Looker and the police show up to arrest Marlon and Zeph, but since Zeph saved the day here perhaps something can be worked out between him and the authorities. He pleads for Marlon to be left free and then asks him to take care of his son Zeph Jr. while he's away. Looker asks Véga to come along too for questioning, but before Véga leaves he gives us the Prison Bottle. We are the heir to the Guardian of Borrius so that artifact now belongs with us :) but the moment is kind of spoiled by Axelrod because he's still our Rival and he hasn't had a chance to show off how much stronger he has become xD. We get a chance to move again, speak to Hoopa and officially add it to our crew: Hoopa - The Mischief Pokémon [Confined Forme] Level: 60 Type: Psychic/Ghost Ability: Magician Moves Known: Zen Headbutt, Wonder Room, Trick Room, Shadow Ball It will be sent to Storage if your current Party is full. To switch between Forms simply Use the Prison Bottle from the Key Items compartment. When you're ready, talk to Axe and let's have that final Rival battle. Cue that theme! ================ >>RIVAL BATTLE<< ================ Rival Axelrod - Toucannon [Normal/Flying] {Skill Link} - Starter (holding a Mega Stone) - Aggron [Steel/Rock] {Rock Head} - Mamoswine [Ice/Ground] {Snow Cloak} - Vaporeon [Water] {Water Absorb} (holding a Sitrus Berry) Prize: P2480 **BATTLE NOTES: - Rival has a Max Potion. >> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Toucannon Moves: Screech, Bullet Seed, Drill Peck, Hyper Voice - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Aggron Moves: Metal Burst, Iron Tail, Rock Slide, Earthquake - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mamoswine Moves: Earthquake, Ice Fang, Double Hit, Amnesia - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Vaporeon Moves: Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Aqua Ring, Acid Armor - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - << One more loss for Axe but he didn't need to prove how much stronger he is because to Marlon he has already shown that he's a good Trainer after what has happened here. So now it's time for the family to return home and make up for lost time. As for us our journey continues, Axe tells us that Gym #8 is in Redwood Village. But before we return to Magnolia Town make sure Hoopa is in the party and Fly back to Epidimy Town, remember that old couple that have the Master Ball? They live next to the Zapdos statue. Show Hoopa to the old lady and receive the Master Ball. You can also visit Arthur and Prof. Log for new dialogue since the region has been saved. Maybe even visit Axelrod and family too. Then back to Magnolia and head east. [rtmf] MAGNOLIA FIELDS ---------------------- HMs Needed: Surf, Cut, Rock Smash. KEY ... * - Pokémon that are exclusive to this area based on the time of day.

Let's check out the village first: In the PokéCenter show the woman on the left a Pokémon that is holding Charcoal and she'll give you Luck Incense. The guy with the handheld console is Balogna the remaining trader, he wants a Zweilous for his special Lampent. Maybe the trade bug just affects player to player trading because I went through with this one and no issues in my game...yet xD. Galavan and the Youngster offer some information about the Gym Leader Benjamin Butterfree, he has Bug-type Pokémon and his Gym puzzle has to do with doing things backwards. For those of you who don't get the reference, it's from the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button about a man who's life went in reverse (born an old man, died as a baby). I saw one comment about this Gym and just like Galavan's Gym it's probably going to be another one we'll have to sit down for and not just because it's the final Gym. The old man on the north side of town tells us about the missing Forest Guardian who protects the town. If we can bring along the Guardian's old friend it might return. In the eastern house is a Socialite who needs someone to mind her grandson while she works daily between 7am and 7pm. Take the baby out for a stroll around town, you can even enter other buildings except the Gym. When you return with the baby and the woman has finished her work she'll pay you P10000. A pair of Breeders live in the western house: once a day the female Breeder will speed up the hatching time of all Eggs in your party for P12500. The male Breeder buys unwanted Eggs for P2000. Just south of the house is TM102 Dazzle Gleam hidden by the middle tree top. Near the Gym are Zygarde cells #97. On the south side of town is a Medium who gives us a Cleanse Tag. Another member of the Hip Waders lives in the southeast house, he has Mission 50: >50 SPLISHY SPLASH |||||||||||||||||| Location: Redwood Village - They're the most useless Pokémon! Magikarp! Can you place 30 of them in your current Box? This one gets you a Shiny Magikarp that has Perfect IVs and a Jolly Nature. Don't worry about Redwood Forest yet because a certain Pokémon has decided to park near the entrance for an extended snooze. In the meantime how about we attempt to get that last Gym Badge? Big key word is "attempt" :) [g8] REDWOOD VILLAGE GYM ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Leader: Benjamin Because of how Benjamin has designed the Gym, battles have a unique condition that makes fainted Pokémon regress to a previous state (previous evolutions with stats regressing per form AND moves being forgotten!! Mother of Christopher :/). Only when a Pokémon can't regress further will they be truly defeated. As a result no EXP is awarded here. In each room there are buttons hidden in rocks, we must press them in the proper order to open a path forward to Benjamin. Roll up them sleeves people, here we go. We'll start from the left side room where we meet Daisy. Ace Trainer Daisy - Accelgor [Bug] (-> Shelmet) - Scolipede [Bug/Poison] (-> Whirlipede -> Venipede) Prize: P244 And that's just the first Gym Trainer xD, wow this makes Galavan's Gym a walk in the park in comparison. Second room from the left has Fuller. Ninja Boy Fuller - Ariados [Bug/Poison] (-> Spinarak) Prize: P976 Let's not press any buttons yet, move on to the next room and Tizzy. Expert Tizzy - Yanmega [Bug/Flying] (-> Yanma) - Vikavolt [Bug/Electric] (-> Charjabug -> Grubbin) Prize: P2440 Go to the last room. Bug Catcher Curtis - Beedrill [Bug/Poison] (-> Kakuna -> Weedle) Prize: P244 So if we remember Benjamin then the button order should be as follows: Tizzy's room -> Daisy's room -> Curtis' room -> Fuller's room Bingo, Benjamin's room is unlocked. If you need to leave the Gym for any reason no problem, the room stays unlocked. At first I did find it a bit intriguing that the final Gym would be based around Bug-types and then we experienced the Gym puzzle. Vicious. Benjamin just wants to prove people wrong about Bug-types by standing between us and the League. After everything that we've been through up to this point not even Benjamin should keep us from going forward, good luck and get that 8th Badge! ++++++++++++++ >>GYM BATTLE<< ++++++++++++++ Leader Benjamin - Araquanid [Water/Bug] {Water Bubble} /-> Dewpider\ - Forretress [Bug/Steel] {Sturdy} (holding an Eviolite) /-> Pineco\ - Butterfree [Bug/Flying] {Compound Eyes} /-> Metapod -> Caterpie\ - Drapion [Poison/Dark] {Sniper} (holding a Bug Gem) /-> Skorupi\ - Mega Scizor [Bug/Steel] {Technician} (holding a Scizorite) /-> (Scizor) -> Scyther\ Prizes: P10880 + Time Badge + TM49 Leech Fang **BATTLE NOTES: - Benjamin has 2 Max Potions. >> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Araquanid Moves: Sticky Web, Liquidation, Mirror Coat, Leech Fang - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Forretress Moves: Stealth Rock, Toxic Spikes, Pin Missile, Counter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Butterfree Moves: Sleep Powder, Bug Buzz, Air Slash, Quiver Dance - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Drapion Moves: Night Slash, Agility, Cross Poison, Pin Missile - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - M.

Wow, the dude went all the way back (or forward?) to Kid Ben form xD how much time passed during that single battle?? But if you view your Cube and come back he'll be an old man again, nice trick. Anyway, well done ladies and gentlemen, all 8 Borrius Gyms have been challenged and swept through! Any Pokémon will obey us now, Full Restores are available and if HM Dive was there we can use it too. We also find out about where the Butterfree in Benjamin's name comes from. A sad story but Benjamin certainly found one of the most far out ways to honour his late friend. Collect the Bug Gem from the Guide, we won't be seeing him again because of his job so consider that a nice parting gift. My Wishiwashi and Dewgong learned Dive naturally and I thought maybe we could still Dive now but nope, gotta get that ADM and even after getting all 8 Badges ol' Cap'n Davy hasn't changed his story for us. You can go and pick up the remaining Unova and Hoenn Starters though and then Fly back to Gurun Town, we're headed east to Route 18 so prepare for that.

Golbat [Poison/Flying] Hariyama [Fighting] Sealeo [Ice/Water] Jynx [Ice/Psychic] Avalugg [Ice] Glalie [Ice] Piloswine [Ice/Ground] (oO?) Oh. Get this - that Psychic near the entrance is not a Trainer, he is a saviour to those of you who have managed your finances well up to this point. If we pay him P200000 he'll teleport players to the other side. Yup, just like that and you can simply swagger on out of here :) I had enough money and got to the League but it was mainly because I needed the fast travel point xD don't judge me. (Also very interesting to note - the Psychic wasn't there in my New Game+ speed run game file and you can just simply slide up to the other side). So for those of you who paid the Psychic just skip the next paragraph, we'll meet at the League. As for the rest of you who have stayed to challenge this puzzle, here we go: Slide up onto the ice from the left side of the stairs then left, up and to the northwest rock for a hidden Protector. Slide right, down, right and up to get a hidden Rare Candy. Slide down, left, up to land on unfrozen ground then continue up for the hidden Ice Stone. Back onto the unfrozen ground and slide east to another unfrozen patch, slide down and right for a hidden Rockium Z. Slide left, up, right, up, left, up, left and up. That's it :) rejoice!

How long did it take you to get here? For me it's been a journey of about 2 months while working on this walkthrough. I think I've either reached or passed the time it took to work on the Pokémon Clover walkthrough, covering both main and post-game content. The Borrius Victory Road gets a solid thumbs up from me, it was fair (not super easy and not super brutal) and well put together. I was expecting the ice puzzle to be outrageous but you know what, it wasn't that bad. In the League building we get the scoop on the Elite 4 members from the guy on the left side and the Ace Trainer: 01 Moleman - Uses Ground-types. - Battle Condition: A never-ending Sandstorm which does more damage than a regular Sandstorm (!) and boosts the Sp. Def of Ground-types. 02 Elias - Uses Ghost-types. - Battle Condition: All Ghost-types take half damage when they are at full health thanks to a shadowy veil covering the field. 03 Annabelle - Uses Fairy-types. - Battle Condition: A Misty Terrain is present and Pixies too, of course, which boost the lowest defensive stat of any Fairy-types sent into the field. 04 Penny - Uses Dragon-types. - Battle Condition: The rainbow in her room raises the chance of secondary move effects used by Dragon-types. Beyond vicious. Makes me wonder what conditions would the Champion have had if there was someone present or even former Champ Artie. Will he pop up at some point for a fight? The Youngster gives out one of the more crazier Missions, numerically it is the very last one and is about taking on the League with just one Pokémon. Madness xD, this is Mission 77: >77 YOU ARE MY ONLY ||||||||||||||||||| Location: Pokémon League - Bonds are powerful! Can you clear the Pokémon League with only one Pokémon, and prove your bond? If you dare and if you succeed then the Necrozium Z will be yours. The Medium tells us that some of the Elite 4 members are Double Battlers (uh-oh..) so it would be wise to get TM Protect from Fallshore. Damn, Double Battles at the League? Are you serious?? Prepare as best as you can and after some final words from the other Ace Trainer we'll step through and watch as the door is locked behind us. The Elite 4 can be faced in any order but I'll be going in the order of how we found out about them, so we'll start in the left room and meet the Moleman. Check your team, he's one of the Double Battling Elites. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- >>ELITE 4 BATTLE<< -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Elite 4 Moleman - Excadrill [Ground/Steel] {Sand Rush} - Flygon [Ground/Dragon] {Levitate} (holding a Ground Gem) - Gliscor [Ground/Flying] {Sand Veil} (holding Bright Powder) - Sandslash [Ground] {Sand Rush} - Quagsire [Water/Ground] {Water Absorb} Prize: (the amount varies) **BATTLE NOTES: - Moleman has 2 Full Restores. >> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Excadrill Moves: Iron Head, Rock Slide, Protect, Earthquake - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Flygon Moves: Earth Power, Heat Wave, Dragon Pulse, Boomburst - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gliscor Moves: Rock Slide, Earthquake, Double Team, Roost - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sandslash Moves: Protect, Rock Slide, Earthquake, Leech Fang - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quagsire Moves: Yawn, Protect, Muddy Water, Recover - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - << Yeah...MAYBE I should've saved Moleman for last xD, yeesh that was rough. And someone or more thought it would be a wonderful idea to create a Mission where you challenge this League with one Pokémon. Ridiculous xD. On the bright side though - no more Sandstorms! When you're ready we'll go next door for our match with Elias, who is a corpse. Nothing odd about that at all, nope, not one bit. They dug him up and stuffed his body with a ghostly spirit and BOOM, 4 people became available to make up the Elite 4. This reminds me of that Edo Tensei/Reanimation Jutsu technique from Naruto, the only thing missing is for Elias to be some famous ninja from the distant past :) Singles Battle coming up! -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- >>ELITE 4 BATTLE<< -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Elite 4 Elias - Mimikyu [Ghost/Fairy] {Disguise} - Mega Banette [Ghost] {Prankster} (holding a Banettite) - Aegislash [Steel/Ghost] {Stance Change} - Trevenant [Ghost/Grass] {Harvest} (holding a Sitrus Berry) - Chandelure [Ghost/Fire] {Flash Fire} Prize: (the amount varies) **BATTLE NOTES: - Elias has 2 Full Restores. >> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mimikyu Moves: Shadow Claw, Swords Dance, Shadow Sneak, Play Rough - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - M.

Only two out of Elite 4 members and I'm already wondering why am I even here xD. Two more to go, we're halfway done. Room 3 belongs to her highness the Fairy Princess (and future Magical Girl) Annabelle. She's taking over from her father who quit at some point, will we meet him at some point? A good theme song for this battle would be the main theme from Fairy Tail, cue that up and prepare for a pleasant Singles Battle! -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- >>ELITE 4 BATTLE<< -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Elite 4 Annabelle - Carbink [Rock/Fairy] {Sturdy} (holding Light Clay) - Sylveon [Fairy] {Cute Charm} - Mega Mawile [Steel/Fairy] {Huge Power} (holding a Mawilite) - Azumarill [Water/Fairy] {Huge Power} - Togekiss [Fairy/Flying] {Serene Grace} Prize: (the amount varies) **BATTLE NOTES: - Annabelle has 2 Full Restores. >> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Carbink Moves: Reflect, Light Screen, Stealth Rock, Body Press - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sylveon Moves: Calm Mind, Moonblast, Mystic Fire, Psyshock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - M.

The Pixie effect is not as troublesome as the previous field conditions so you can make it through this match without too many scars. On to the final room and Elite 4 member Penny, an avid Dragon-type fan judging by her costume and maybe she's an undercover Dragon whisperer too. This is it everyone, we are just one Double Battle away from becoming the Borrian League Champion. Bring everything you got and good luck. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- >>ELITE 4 BATTLE<< -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Elite 4 Penny - Goodra [Dragon] {Sap Sipper} - Tyrantrum [Rock/Dragon] {Strong Jaw} (holding a Lum Berry) - Hydreigon [Dark/Dragon] {Levitate} - Kommo-o [Dragon/Fighting] {Bulletproof} - Mega Sceptile [Grass/Dragon] {Lightning Rod} (holding a Sceptilite) Prize: (the amount varies) **BATTLE NOTES: - Penny has 2 Full Restores. >> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Goodra Moves: Muddy Water, Sludge Bomb, Dragonbeath, Thunderbolt - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Tyrantrum Moves: Dragon Claw, Rock Slide, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hydreigon Moves: Tailwind, Dark Pulse, Charge Beam, Dragonbeath - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Kommo-o Moves: Hyper Voice, Aura Sphere, Clang Scales, Protect - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - M.

Not as smooth as the Annabelle fight but just as bearable. So in terms of strategy does one tackle Moleman first to get that match out of the way early or start with Penny and build up to Moleman? Hmm. Anyway, congratulations on defeating the Borrian Elite 4! Proceed through the new doorway and after the next corridor pick up Zygarde cells #88 from the left corner. Just before we go through the doorway ahead we're stopped by....Jax! Of all the times dude, damn xD. Last time we saw him he had gone after Aklove, but the villain got away somehow :/ very not good. Jax reveals that his grandfather "Artie" Arthur was the former Champion until he retired. I feel a bit stupid for not putting 2 and 2 together haha but now we know. He had been training Jax all this time to become the next Champion while we were "training" under Prof. Log by doing those errands. Turns out these two old guys are friendly rivals, how about that :) So we have one more challenge to get through (it's another Double Battle in case you haven't had enough of them!) and it's for all the marbles ladies and gentlemen, let's go.

That match was just spoiled by Jax constantly switching his monsters in and out, not fun at all while trying to get that battle information. Outside of the switching, it was a fair fight...but I'm not eager to rematch against him anytime soon haha, maybe MUCH MUCH later on. Thank goodness it didn't have a ridiculous field condition like in the Elite 4 battles. Jax congratulates us and we follow him into the Hall of Fame for the induction. One victory in the books, 98 more to go :D The credits begin with us being seen off by the Elite 4 and Jax outside the League building. They can't be skipped so sit back and enjoy them while taking in this moment. That was quite the main game adventure, huh? Absolutely incredible, so one has to wonder if the post-game side of things can and will top all of that content because the bar has been set pretty high :) prepare yourselves, the post-game chapter of our journey is next! \\//[[POST-GAME ARC]]\\// We have made it back to Frozen Heights and there's a message congratulating us for completing the main campaign. All Battle Difficulties are now unlocked and of course now that we're the Champion there's lots to do. Then we're joined by Axelrod and Marlon, who is back in uniform. Interesting. Axe tells us that the Battle Frontier is ready now so he and Marlon are going to over there. Ivory is still missing, which is why Marlon is in uniform again - it might make the search for her easier since she wore a uniform too. After father and son leave we meet Prof. Log, who just has to be super happy now about having a major win over his old rival haha. You're welcome. He informs us that portals have started appearing across the region as a result of defeating Hoopa at Crystal Peak. Powerful Pokémon will come out of these portals if approached. We'll have to capture them in order to close the portals, but not all the portals will disappear afterwards though. This is Mission 45: >45 PORTAL PURGE |||||||||||||||| Location: Frozen Heights - Capture Pokémon in the mysterious portals appearing around Borrius! Our main Mission gets updated too, we should check on Mom. But when we enter our house we don't find her. Huh, where has she gone? There's a note on the table: Player, I have taken your mother into the depths of the Ruins of Void. Come alone if you ever want to see her again. -A (?!) No way, he's back! That lousy, no good, mother-- stealing scumbag has popped up again and what a way let us know. Ohh it's on now. Fly back to Seaport City, we have to speak to Captain Davy about that ADM. While we're Seaport and now that the Battle Frontier is open you can go there to pick up Zygarde cells #76, they are on the left side behind the fence after passing through the Gate. We'll receive the Frontier Card in there from the lady who told us that the place was being renovated previously. With that card, if you take part in Raid Battles you'll receive a few BP as an extra reward. Any questions about the Battle Frontier, speak to her. The Ace Trainer in the Gate gives us Mission 37: >37 MORE THAN A GAME |||||||||||||||||||| Location: Battle Frontier Gate (Post-Game) - Breathe the ethos of battle! Enter battle facilities 100 times. 200BP is the reward for this one. We'll explore the Battle Frontier properly later, return to Davy's Shipyard and find out the price of the ADM: $500000. Yup, let those zeroes sink in and settle for a bit. How much do you have? I've only got close to P150000 so no chance :/ There is some good news though, we can make enough money to buy the ADM by selling stuff that we find in the Tomb of Borrius. Challenge Accepted? [rttb] TOMB OF BORRIUS ---------------------- HMs Needed: Strength, Rock Smash. -1F- (Entrance Area) Pokémon Found (All Day) ............. Unown [Psychic] (Letters A to E) Sigilyph [Psychic/Flying] There's a hidden Relic Copper behind the middle eastern pillar. The Ruin Maniac who was trying to solve the tile puzzle is Fred, he's been here with his colleagues for weeks and they are completely stumped by the puzzle. These guys probably haven't visited the Ruins of Alph because the puzzle is of the multi-coloured marvel Ho-oh. As soon as we solve it, the floor beneath us opens and down we go! -B4F- Pokémon Found (All Day) ............. Unown [Psychic] (Letters F to J) Sigilyph [Psychic/Flying] (Rock Smash) Graveler [Rock/Ground] Shuckle [Bug/Rock] Fred checks to see if we're all right. We're fine but most importantly we've solved the puzzle that couldn't be cracked by the best from the Archeology Society :) *mini happy dance* He joins us down here via a ladder and we receive Mission 69, a chance to make Lady Croft proud: >69 TOMB RAIDER ||||||||||||||| Location: Tomb of Borrius (Post-Game) - A hole has opened up into the depths of a tomb! Explore it and solve its mysteries. Just up ahead of us is the first sign of trouble - a Dusknoir. If it sees us we'll be sent back to the ladder. Further up is a second Dusknoir and a pressure plate in the top right corner. Smash the left rock, move up with that first boulder and smash the bottom one of the two rocks in front of that second Dusknoir. Push the first boulder onto the plate. No more wall of flames. Take that second boulder along with you into the new corridor and block the 3rd Dusknoir. Carry on to find a 4th Dusknoir, leave it and push up either of the two boulders below it onto the plate, this will make that 5th Dusknoir look away and you can move up to search for a hidden Relic Copper just above it. Go back down to get the other boulder, block Dusknoir #6 and climb on out of here. -B3F- Pokémon Found (All Day) ............. Unown [Psychic] (Letters K to O) Sigilyph [Psychic/Flying] Wow...out of the pan and into the fire xD, what is this place doing in a tomb?? Eternal thanks to King Borrius III. On the left side is a hidden Relic Silver. Jump down and skip along the rocks until you can go north, there's a platform that has a Relic Copper. Come back and go south all the way until you're going east then northeast and north to another platform with another Relic Copper. Carry on to the next platform which is on the north side, touch the rock on it and somewhere the path of rocks has changed. Jump back onto the rocks, go right then south to reach the Relic Copper. Continue east from that platform to reach the one along the eastern wall, touch that rock and hop along the new path back to the previous platform. Head south and onto a new platform with a rock that doesn't react to any touch, carry on south to the next platform that has a Relic Silver. Hop onto that platform on the left and touch that rock. That new path going northwest leads back to the ladder so go south and continue all the way until you're back on the north platform. Don't touch the rock yet, go south to pick up another Relic Silver. Back up to touch the rock and back track to the far south side and go southeast to find a new ladder. -B2F- Pokémon Found (All Day) ............. Unown [Psychic] (Letters P to T) Sigilyph [Psychic/Flying] And now we have a visual puzzle. If any of you played Pokémon Clover you'll remember this type of puzzle was used in Snoop Dogg's Gym (for those of you who didn't play Clover for whatever good reasons, yes, Snoop is in it. Don't ask why). The more you progress through the area, the blurrier the screen gets, Fred thinks the Dusknoir are causing this. Great. If you go straight north then west along the north wall you'll get to a hidden Relic Silver near the northwest end. Back to the ladder, go west along the south wall to reach Zygarde cells #60. Back to the ladder, go up to turn left and carry on along the upper side to avoid Dusknoir. Once you can't go left, turn south until you can't move further then go east and south, now you have to time Dusknoir before rushing all the way west and up to the ladder. Who comes up with messed up puzzles like this?? Not a good idea at all. -B1F- Pokémon Found (All Day) ............. Unown [Psychic] (Letters U to Y) Sigilyph [Psychic/Flying] But wait, there's more: here the floor is cracked, we'll need to fire up the Motorbike's Turbo boost and race over to the northeast side. The only positive thing about falling through the floor is that you'll at least drop next to the ladder. There are hidden items here but look at what we're dealing with here xD, we'll try though and feel free to slow down your emulator otherwise you'll be spending plenty of time loading/reloading that save file. From the ladder go straight down, aiming to stop just before the crack which will be on the bottom right. If you succeed, face north and search that stone for a hidden Relic Vase. Back to the ladder, this time make your way to the 4-tiles sized space just after the first right side turn. North from there are a hidden Relic Silver and an Relic Gold on the left. Back to that 4-tiles space, launch from the top right to go southeast for TM21 Frustration. Very appropriate :) well placed. Back to the 4-tiles space, launch from the bottom left tile and go northeast. Stop in the 2-tile space before reaching the ladder to pick up a hidden Relic Gold. From there ride to the southeast corner for a Relic Band. You know what to do now to reach the ladder, so get to it and we finally enter the burial chamber. -B1F- (Main Room/Burial Chamber) Pokémon Found (All Day) ............. Unown [Psychic] (Letter Z and ! and ?) Phew. Let's see Croft pull that stuff off, because until she does we're the real Tomb Raiders here dammit :) Fred joins us to confirm we're where we should be and heals our team. There's a hidden Relic Vase behind the upper left pillar. Collect all the other Relics then touch the coffin-- a Pokémon suddenly appears on top of it as the defense system is triggered (!?) and it goes into Dynamax mode immediately! What the-- =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>DYNA MYTHICAL FIGHT<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= [mage] MAGEARNA - The Artificial Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Steel/Fairy Ability: Moves Known: Max Knuckle(Aura Sphere), Shift Gear, Max Steelspike(Iron Head), Max Guard(Crafty Guard) Leave it to King Borrius III to have one more surprise in his resting place. I've only encountered Magearna in another ROMhack, and even back then I didn't know it existed. This is what happens if you stopped really keeping up with Pokémon when Gen 3 ended :) anyway, with Magearna caught/defeated a doorway leading out of the chamber opens and so ends our harrowing treasure hunt. Fred is off to share his valuables with the Archeology Society crew, but before he leaves he gives us something he picked up - a Psychium Z. Mission accomplished. Fly back to Gurun Town and enter the house that's just above the PokéCenter, remember this place? The Black Belt wanted rare items, so sell him those Relics. Still not enough? Any high price items that are gathering dust in that unlimited capacity Cube of yours, get rid of them too xD. By the time I was done I had made over P700000, just enough to pay for the house, send the kids to college AND get the ADM. After we receive it, Captain Davy also throws in HM05 Dive. The ADM, part HM substitute and part treasure hunting machine. The KBT Expressway walls and seafloor have plenty of treasure, Press R when you're there after setting the R button Mode to Mining Scan in the Options Menu. The ADM will indicate where we can search for treasure by showing a quick flash (think of the Trick House from Hoenn, when you were told someone was watching from somewhere - that quick flash). Excellent, now we can Dive and we finally got the ADM. Saving Mom is what we will do first and then when everything has been settled with Aklove we'll take the ADM out for a proper spin. Prepare yourselves and your teams then return to the Ruins of Void. [rtrv2] RUINS OF VOID (Post-Game) --------------------- HMs Needed: Surf, Rock Smash, Rock Climb, Dive. Pokémon Found (All Day B3F - B1F) ............. Baltoy [Ground/Psychic] Yamask [Ghost] Duskull [Ghost] Sableye [Dark/Ghost] Bronzong [Steel/Psychic] Dusclops [Ghost] Lunatone [Rock/Psychic] Solrock [Rock/Psychic] Sigilyph [Psychic/Flying] Cofagrigus [Ghost] (Rock Smash) Geodude [Rock/Ground] (Surf) Tentacool [Water/Poison] Tentacruel [Water/Poison] Mantine [Water/Flying] ((Ruins of Void Exterior)) (Old Rod) Magikarp [Water] (Good Rod) Shellder [Water] (Super Rod) Shellder [Water] Cloyster [Water/Ice] Kingdra [Water/Dragon] ((Ruins of Void Exterior)) -B3F- As you head up the middle corridor you'll notice that the left side way occupied by the Dusclops is open now. The message on the big tablet in the southeast section was referring to not being seen by them, because just like the Dusknoir they will send you back to the start of the corridor. Make it past the Dusclops and reach another one of the ancient switches waiting to be flipped. Once you're back in the main corridor continue north and go into the second right side turn, the Dowsing Machine will lead you to a hidden Ghost Gem in the corner before you go south and see a Bronzong patrolling that way. It's the first of 3, the other 2 are near another switch at the end of that corridor. If you flip that switch all the Bronzong and Dusclops will disappear and the Raid Den is revealed. Go there and pick up a Marshadium Z, although Marshadow is currently unavailable. Who or what is a Marshadow... (oO?) [rdrv] Ruins of Void Raid Den (2 Stars) (3 Stars) Baltoy [Ground/Psychic] Baltoy [Ground/Psychic] Yamask [Ghost] Yamask [Ghost] Duskull [Ghost] Duskull [Ghost] Bronzor [Steel/Psychic] Bronzor [Steel/Psychic] Lunatone [Rock/Psychic] Lunatone [Rock/Psychic] Solrock [Rock/Psychic] Solrock [Rock/Psychic] Sigilyph [Psychic/Flying] Sigilyph [Psychic/Flying] (4 Stars) (5-6 Stars) Claydol [Ground/Psychic] Claydol [Ground/Psychic] Cofagrigus [Ghost] Cofagrigus [Ghost] Dusclops [Ghost] Dusknoir [Ghost] Bronzong [Steel/Psychic] Bronzong [Steel/Psychic] Lunatone [Rock/Psychic] Lunatone [Rock/Psychic] Solrock [Rock/Psychic] Solrock [Rock/Psychic] Sigilyph [Psychic/Flying] Sigilyph [Psychic/Flying] Nothing else to worry about so carry on to that B1F room where we faced the Legendary Beasts. A portal is there and after we reach into it, Raikou and Entei come out of it and leave the room before the portal closes. They are now roaming around the region (you'll see them on the Map when you want to Fly) and we must have them in our party for Suicune to appear here. Later. Return to the B2F cliffs and scale down the wall which leads to the Dive spot. -Ruins of Void Underwater- Pokémon Found (All Day) ............. Clamperl [Water] Mareanie [Poison/Water] Toxapex [Poison/Water] Chinchou [Water/Electric] Lanturn [Water/Electric] Luvdisc [Water] Relicanth [Water/Rock] Look at what we have here, ADM Underwater Mode :D double thumbs up, no wonder this thing costs so damn much haha. It certainly brings back memories of the old Captain Nemo cartoon. That south way leads to a small section of Route 14 where you'll find a Red Shard in the pink coral in the bottom left corner and Sea Salt on the southern end. After getting those come back and go east and through the cave entrance. Search the far left rock for a hidden Blue Shard then find the next entrance in the northwest and one more entrance in the northeast side of the next area (check the rock in the western side for a hidden Yellow Shard). Once you're there go all the way south to search the lower rock for a hidden Green Shard and to pick up a Sea Shell. Make a note of this spot. Return to the main area, carry on east and check the south rock for a hidden Green Shard before using that Resurface spot right next to it. After resurfacing surf west and north to scale a wall that leads to TM48 Skill Swap. Back underwater and go north. Remember to use the Mining Scan function to check around for digging spots and if you find one: ~Digging for Treasure Mini Game~ The ADM is equipped with a sledgehammer and a pickaxe, alternate between them to dig up stuff before the wall collapses (indicated by the developing crack along the top of the screen). Sledgehammer to clear away the big rocks and pebbles then pickaxe to break through. If you fail you can't retry until you locate another digging spot so make sure you saved before attempting this. According to the Official Guide the rates for items mined underwater are as follows: 18% Hard Stone 13% Everstone 10% Fossil 9% Shard (Red, Blue, Yellow and Green) 7% Creation Plate 6% Evolution Stone 6% Weather Rock (Heat, Damp, Icy and Smooth) 6% Heart Scale 5% Revive 5% Gem 4% Iron Ball 3% Light Clay 3% Star Piece 2% Max Revive 1% Odd Keystone 1% Bottle Cap 1% Comet Shard Along this corridor is a Resurface spot but further up at the end of the corridor is a tablet with this message: DEFEATING TOXAPEX IS THE KEY. That spot you made a note of earlier is where we will find that particular Toxapex later. Resurface and go through that entrance on the left. -Ruins of Void B1F (Dive Entrance)- Pokémon Found (All Day) ............. Claydol [Ground/Psychic] Cofagrigus [Ghost] Dusclops [Ghost] Sableye [Dark/Ghost] Bronzong [Steel/Psychic] Lunatone [Rock/Psychic] Solrock [Rock/Psychic] Sigilyph [Psychic/Flying] If you've never liked Claydol then you're in for a real treat because we'll be seeing a number of them here as they play hall monitor. The first Claydol we find is going east and west along this corridor and another one is moving along the far left corridor where there is an ancient switch that removes the barricade in the middle corridor. Timing is everything. After reaching and flipping the switch, move along that middle corridor then watch for the next Claydol before turning right to flip the next switch. If you go all the way left you'll find a hidden Dire Hit in the top left corner and another Claydol, to avoid that one you have to go south to the small hiding space along the right wall. But you'll get there just in time to spot the next Claydol below. You have to get all the way to the bottom then southwest for another switch, however that south side corridor has 2 other Claydol. After flipping that southwest switch, go for the corridor heading west just above that one, things are a little tricky here because there is no hiding place between the 2 Claydols coming up. The only positive thing is that if either of them sees us we simply go back to the end of the corridor leading to those 2 Claydol. You're just going to need to time that first Claydol, hoping the second one is retreating and make it to the top corridor seconds before the second Claydol is turning south again. When you've made it into the top corridor, you'll see a 3rd Claydol but fortunately the following corridor has a hiding spot in the wall a little further down. Unfortunately there's another Claydol on the south side and its movement pattern is shorter, but there is a another hiding spot below. Don't rush to go all the way south because, surprise, one more Claydol is there but so is one more hiding spot (there's a hidden Psychic Gem here) along that south corridor. Another Claydol is on the far left, you'll only see it once you step out from that spot and hope you'll have a chance to avoid it before the Claydol of this corridor catches you. In that far left corridor is a switch. After flipping it you have to move into that middle corridor, the safe spot in it is the space just before the left turn. Don't go left, you have to go straight up for the next switch. That switch removes the barrier that is at the end of that left turn, another Claydol was behind it. That final Claydol is next to a ladder and is ready for a fight - Dynamax style! OxOxOxOxOxOxOxOxOxO >>DYNA BOSS FIGHT<< OxOxOxOxOxOxOxOxOxO Claydol - The Clay Doll Pokémon Level: 80 Type: Ground/Psychic Ability: Levitate Moves Known: Max Mindstorm, Max Rockfall, Max Quake, Light Screen Item Held: Leftovers **BATTLE NOTES: - Claydol's Defense gets a major boost at the start. Claydol disappears after we've proven ourselves, climb the ladder and come face to face with Aklove! -Ruins of Void B2F (Dive Entrance)- Pokémon Found (All Day) ............. Claydol [Ground/Psychic] Cofagrigus [Ghost] Dusclops [Ghost] Sableye [Dark/Ghost] Bronzong [Steel/Psychic] Lunatone [Rock/Psychic] Solrock [Rock/Psychic] Sigilyph [Psychic/Flying] Chansey is here if you need to heal. Mom is there of course but so are Arthur and Zeph Jr. (?) how did they get involved? If you return to B1F you'll see that the all Claydol are gone now, so this is a good chance to search for hidden items and pick up items (such as the Nugget in the southeastern corridor at the beginning) that we couldn't reach before because of the Claydol patrol. Then whenever you're ready speak to Aklove. Just as he's starting, Jax shows up. He was forced into following Aklove's orders so he could save Arthur. Aklove goes on to tell us about what his grand plan was, which he and his grandfather hoped would put an end to their ancestor AZ's endless wandering. But thanks to us that plan failed and now all that's left is for Aklove to make us pay for that. Just when you think this major Boss Battle would be one on one, nope, it's yet another major battle which will be a Double Battle :/ so pick your 3 best Pokémon and let's take down Aklove one final time, hopefully! \\\~~~~~~~~~~~~/\~~~~~~~~~~~~/// >>LIGHT OF RUIN LEADER BATTLE<< ///~~~~~~~~~~~~\/~~~~~~~~~~~~\\\ Light of Ruin Leader Aklove - Klefki [Steel/Fairy] {Prankster} (holding Light Clay) - Primarina [Water/Fairy] {Liquid Voice} (holding a Life Orb) - Mega Gardevoir [Psychic/Fairy] {Pixilate} (holding a Gardevoirite) - Togekiss [Fairy/Flying] {Super Luck} (holding a Scope Lens) - Mimikyu [Ghost/Fairy] {Disguise} (holding a Fairium Z) - Florges [Fairy] {Flower Veil} (holding a Wiki Berry) Prize: P33600 **BATTLE NOTES: >> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Klefki Moves: Light Screen, Reflect, Thunder Wave, Foul Play - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Primarina Moves: Energy Ball, Ice Beam, Hyper Voice, Dazzle Gleam - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mega Gardevoir Moves: Mystic Fire, Psyshock, Hyper Voice, Protect - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Togekiss Moves: Follow Me, Dazzle Gleam, Air Slash, Protect - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mimikyu Moves: Play Rough/Twinkle Tackle(Z-Move), Shadow Claw, Shadow Sneak, Destiny Bond - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Florges Moves: Light Screen, Helping Hand, Moonblast, Protect - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - << Wow, no extra healing items? I thought he would be packing 4 Full Restores or have a funky field condition that favours his Fairy-powered team or something. From a story point of view I get why we would team up with Jax against Aklove...but really, 2 of the Elite 4 battles were Double Battles, the match for the League Championship was a Double Battle and then this major boss fight is a Double Battle too? A bit much :| otherwise it wasn't a troublesome fight if you're prepared to take on Fairy-types. Aklove has nothing else going on for him now, no dramatic vow in the name of revenge or any attempt to make one more great escape. Looker and the cops come up to arrest him after he refuses to help them in searching for any remaining LoR members that are out there. No surprise, defiant right to the end. Looker's work is done here and he says farewell. Jax is reunited with Arthur and he takes Zeph Jr. along with them. He says we'll find Jax at the Battle Frontier if we're ever in the mood to team up again. We'll see xD. Mom is okay and we return home, just in time for the (still unskippable) credits to roll again. ....Several credit rolls later.... When we load up the save file again we're back on B1F of the Ruins. Our Mission Log has been updated to show the locations of all available Missions. Also New Game+ has been unlocked, here are the special bonuses that you get when you start a new game with New Game+ enabled: 1) A team of 6 Pokémon maximum can be carried over from the party in the previous save to the new game. - They will be devolved to their base species and will forget any moves barring Egg Moves. - Held Items will be retained barring Mega Stones and Z-Crystals. - EVs and IVs will be retained. 2) If any of the following items have been obtained in the previous save, they will be carried over to the new game: Stat Scanner, Dowsing Machine, Baby Monitor, ADM, Shiny Charm, Oval Charm, Catching Charm, Magma Stone, and Frontier Card, in addition to any BP earned. 3) Difficulty may be increased or decreased at any point without penalty. 4) Certain main story puzzles solved in the previous save will remain solved in the new game. 5) If the Frontier Card is carried over, then the Battle Frontier may be accessed immediately upon arrival in Seaport City. 6) Additional NPCs for modifying IVs, EVs, and natures will be available in Crater Town until the game is cleared. Note that some may charge BP for their services, so make sure you earn enough before starting the new game. 7) Certain Legendary Pokémon previously locked to the post-game will now be obtainable before the game is cleared. What do you think about that? I'm okay with my current game, New Game+ is not for me. Saying goodbye to all those Pokémon I spent time searching for and catching just to keep the 6 in my party, plus all the Mega Stones and Orbs vanishing too....yeah, too much of a sacrifice to make. The main Mission is finally completed and we're free to explore this wonderful region! Climb back up to B2F, there's a hidden Red Card in the top left area (that just reminded me of Final Fantasy Advanced Tactics) and a Primarium Z on the right. Return to that cave area underwater that we made a note of before, now we can take on that Toxapex...in a Dynamax Battle! OxOxOxOxOxOxOxOxOxO >>DYNA BOSS FIGHT<< OxOxOxOxOxOxOxOxOxO Toxapex - The Brutal Star Pokémon Level: 80 Type: Poison/Water Ability: Merciless Moves Known: Toxic, Max Ooze/Venoshock, Max Geyser/Scald, Recover Item Held: Poison Barb After Toxapex is dispatched, the tablet outside is gone. In the new area check the rock on the right for a Red Shard and then pick the real prize up top - a Rare Egg that contains the Mythical Manaphy: [mana] MANAPHY - The Seafaring Pokémon Type: Water Ability: Hydration Moves Known: Tail Glow, Bubble, Water Sport Breed it with Ditto to get the other Mythical Phione: [phio] PHIONE - The Sea Drifter Pokémon Type: Water Ability: Hydration Moves Known: Bubble, Water Sport Hmm, nope, I never saw these two during my official games adventures way back and until now I hadn't found them in any previous ROMhacks that I've played/replayed so far. Thanks to user CoulofSinder from Reddit who told me about where to find that Toxapex. Exit the Ruins and Fly back home, seems like a good place to start this POST-post-game side of things. Stop over at our Rival's house, we'll find Melony and learn that Zeph bailed himself out of prison and picked up Junior. His road to making up for the things he has done begins now. On the table is a gift from Axelrod - the Pokémon that he chose as a Starter, nice one Axe. We haven't done one in quite a while, mainly because we didn't have the means for it until we got into post-game territory, but we have what we need now and all the time in the world so get yourselves ready for...... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >THE GREAT BACKTRACK: DIVE EDITION< >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<< /ROUTE 14\ - We'll start with the Dive spot that is located to the south from the Ruins of Void. Once underwater head north then east to find a Resurface spot and a rock with a hidden Blue Shard on the east end. Pass that spot for now and carry on south until you reach a left side turn (there's a hidden Yellow Shard by the pink coral in the corner of the rock wall), go all the way left to pick up a Sea Shell. Come back and go all the way southwest and search the corner for a hidden Green Shard. Return to the Resurface spot we passed, it'll lead us to a secluded area where we find TM23 Iron Tail. Make your way back to the first Dive/Resurface spot and go southwest once you've resurfaced, you'll see another Dive spot in the northwest. Down there, check the bottom rock for a Red Shard and go through the entrance. In the next area reach the northwest corner and search for a Blue Shard. Continue to the south exit. Next area, resurface to get a Wave Incense, then back underwater to search that bottom right coral for a Yellow Shard before going all the way south for Sea Salt. Done. Back to the south side of the Ruins. - The next Dive spot we're going for is on the western side of Route 14. Under there, search the rock for a Green Shard. Carry on east, pass the entrance and go on southeast to search another rock for a Red Shard. Through the entrance, in the next area go south to pick up a Sea Shell then go through the next entrance and we are in a small cavern occupied by one of those portals Prof. Log told us about. Check the left rock for a Blue Shard and then examine the portal so we can try to catch whatever jumps out! *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )16( NIHILEGO - The Parasite Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Rock/Poison Ability: Beast Boost Moves Known: Stealth Rock, Mirror Coat, Wonder Room, Head Smash **BATTLE NOTES: - Nihilego's Sp. Defense gets a boost at the start. Hmm, okay this one I do recognise from Gen 7. Even in GBA form it still looks creepy. I had only just started playing Ultra Sun late last year, after avoiding it for a while because I was really disappointed by the Ultra games not being sequels to Sun/Moon. But a friend convinced me into trying the Ultra games with some info about the post-game content so I jumped in. Had to pause that adventure though, there were some walkthroughs that had to be done :) 1 Portal Pokémon down, 24 remain out there. /ROUTE 16\ - We're going under that massive Dive spot we saw on the south side, remember that? Once down there go north, you'll find a Blue Shard by the pink coral just above the Dive spot. Further up is an entrance to go through and another one in the next area which leads to a Sea Shell in the third area. Return to the main area and head southeast then south to go through another entrance and carry on through the next ones until we wind up in the main area's southwest section, there's Sea Salt and a Resurface spot which leads to TM117 Fling. /ROUTE 17\ - The Dive spot is on the south side of the route. That bridge which was being rebuilt before is there now and so is another portal above the Rock Climb spot on the western side of the route. *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )12( TAPU LELE - The Land Spirit Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Psychic/Fairy Ability: Psychic Surge Moves Known: Nature's Mad, Moonblast, Tickle, Skill Swap **BATTLE NOTES: - Tapu Lele's Sp. Attack rises at the start. No problem recognising the Alolan Guardians, although I didn't spend much time training and travelling with them. Just added them to the collection. Get to the Dive spot and down there we'll find 2 entrances. Go right. In the next area (Area 2) we'll see an entrance and 2 rocks (the top one has a Yellow Shard). Go through that entrance to reach Area 3. Just northwest from the entrance is a pile of white fragments (?), you'll get a Blue Shard from that. Carry on to the left side for a Sea Shell. There are 3 other entrances here but return to Area 2 and continue east to Area 4. Here you'll find a Green Shard from the rock at the center and Sea Salt in the upper right section. That upper left entrance is a passage going back to Area 3 (in that passage you'll find a Green Shard from a rock) so carry on eastward to Area 5. The first entrance here leads to Area 6 while that one on the right is a passage that is also going to Area 6, you'll find a Yellow Shard from a pink coral in that passage. After arriving in Area 6 from Area 5 turn right to find Sea Salt in the corner. Then go north, the rock near the closed entrance has a Red Shard. East from there is a pile of white fragments with a Blue Shard. Head for the northwest entrance, it takes us back to Area 3. Once back there continue northwest to the first of 2 passages leading back to Area 1. In Passage A check the fragment pile near the entrance for a Red Shard, then the rock in Passage B for a Yellow Shard. So ends this Backtrack trip, which looks to be the last one for now. Once you've got an Odd Keystone return to Gurun Town's PokéCenter and speak to the Medium, remember her? Say Yes to her and free those trapped spirits from your Cube: SPIRITOMB - The Forbidden Pokémon Level: 35 Type: Ghost/Dark Ability: Pressure Moves Known: Nasty Plot, Hex, Memento, Ominous Wind Item Held: Smoke Ball There are some special battles we can take part in now that we're the Champ. Remember the "Devil Duo" in Frost Mountain? They are the Expert couple found in the southeast corner of 2F, to get there climb the ladder found in the southwest section of 1F. They brushed us off when we first met them but look at us now, strongest Trainer in the region and all :) BUT the one major down side about this battle is that you can only face them if you have a team of Fighting-types and Dragon-types. Why so specific...? Expert Kenlawa & Expert Ryuzoji - Mimikyu [Ghost/Fairy] (holding a Light Clay) - Mimikyu [Ghost/Fairy] (holding a Quick Claw) - Mimikyu [Ghost/Fairy] (holding a Mimikium-Z) - Mimikyu [Ghost/Fairy] (holding a Sitrus Berry) - Mimikyu [Ghost/Fairy] (holding a Babiri Berry) - Mimikyu [Ghost/Fairy] (holding a Mimikium-Z) Prizes: P6560 + Mimikium Z So that's why they were so specific xD, these cheeky old timers! The next special battles are against the Unbound crew. They are on 1F of the building east from the Double Battle House in Dehara City. Be aware that each of these guys is packing a full team of Lv100 Pokémon and they can be battled once a day. Remember, you have to defeat them in a single day to complete their Mission.

From the looks of things, they alternate some of the Pokémon in their battle team each day or feature the same Pokémon holding different items. I was battling them at night so the first 6 Pokémon are what they had when I first fought them, then the others are what they had when I tried for another match the next day. In one other battle there was an Amoonguss, another match included a Blastoise. No idea if they have any more surprise Pokémon, unless each of them has a full team and they are alternating from there.

Golbat [Poison/Flying] Haunter [Ghost/Poison] Duskull [Ghost] Golett [Ground/Ghost] Bronzor [Steel/Psychic] Chimecho [Psychic] Bronzong [Steel/Psychic] Dusclops [Ghost] We'll see the girl on the left side of the main room but in the middle is an open portal that will transport us back to the Distortion World. If you're prepared to catch Giratina, now is your chance to try. Once back in the D-World just head north to the spot where we met it last time and engage. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x [gira] GIRATINA - The Renegade Pokémon (Origin Forme) Level: 70 Type: Ghost/Dragon Ability: Pressure Moves Known: Dragon Claw, Pain Split, Aura Sphere, Earth Power It's been just over a decade since I last played Gen 4, so the last time I saw Giratina was in a ROMhack. I don't mind it as a Legendary, but like with many of the Legendary and Mythical Pokémon which have come afterwards I'm not as invested in or fascinated by them as the earlier set, which were around when I was young enough to appreciate them :/ Back to Rift Cave and speak to the girl. She was here playing but whenever she wants to leave she can't. Before we can take her home, Palkia suddenly appears and vanishes with the girl! A ladder leading below is here now, let's go. -B1F- Pokémon Found (All Day) ............. Golbat [Poison/Flying] Haunter [Ghost/Poison] Dusclops [Ghost] Golurk [Ground/Ghost] Bronzong [Steel/Psychic] Chimecho [Psychic] Ah, we have a maze to navigate through. Darn. From the ladder go along with the path all the way until you circle round to jump off a west-facing ledge on the upper side. You'll turn south then north, seeing a ladder on the left side, before reaching Zygarde cells #49 in between 2 ledges on the right side. After getting the cells and coming back round, continue north until you're heading south to stand between ledges. Jump left, continue south to jump left again. Head up the first northward corridor to find an Odd Keystone that's between ledges up top (in case you didn't find one underwater). If you jumped right to get it you have to come back to that spot and jump left. Go south to jump off the first of 4 south-facing ledges. Continue down to jump off the second one, you'll see a ledge leading left - if you go that way you'll get to TM93 Dragon Tail. Decide whether you want it now or you'll get it later. Either way after that 3rd south ledge you'll go west, passing the ladder leading back to 1F, then jump off the final south ledge and carry on all the way to the other ladder. Before climbing check the rock below the ladder for a hidden Rowap Berry. -B2F- Pokémon Found (All Day) ............. Golbat [Poison/Flying] Haunter [Ghost/Poison] Dusclops [Ghost] Golurk [Ground/Ghost] Bronzong [Steel/Psychic] Chimecho [Psychic] We find the girl and soon enough Palkia reappears, it manipulates the space around it to increase its size! =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>DYNA LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= [palk] PALKIA - The Spatial Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Water/Dragon Ability: Pressure Moves Known: Max Rockfall/Power Gem, Max Geyser/Aqua Tail, Max Knuckle/Aura Sphere, Max Wyrmwind/Dragon Claw We've saved the girl and acquired the second of the Creation Trio. Make your way round again to the exit ladder and once we're back outside the girl heads home. She'll be in the corner again xD but hopefully no more playing inside Rift Cave. Her father is glad she came back safely and gives us the Lustrous Orb. Mission completed. We have Giratina but what about the Griseous Orb? For that we must go back to the Distortion World. Once you're there (let's call this the Initial Area) go south to the platform which will teleport us to a new place (Area A). There's a boulder puzzle waiting for us back here, surprise surprise :), involving 3 boulders and the pressure plate is on the right side of the middle platform. Boulder 1/B1 will be the left one and Boulder 2/B2 will be the top one. Push B2 down once, to the right once then up twice. Push B1 to the right twice, B2 up once, B1 right once, B2 down once, B1 left once, B2 up once, B1 right once, B2 down twice, B1 right once, B2 up twice, B1 right twice, B2 down three times then right once. Done. Go to the platform that's on the southeast to move on to Area B. Jump onto the next platform and find a new face named Nex. He has been expecting someone else and wonders if that person is still around. He then asks for a battle, be ready because he has a Lv100 team. Who is this guy, someone new we'll have to worry about in the next update perhaps? -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- >>SPECIAL BATTLE<< -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- Pokémon Trainer Nex - Empoleon [Water/Steel] {Torrent} (holding a Wide Lens) - Sceptile [Grass] {Unburden} (holding a Flying Gem) - Jolteon [Electric] {Volt Absorb} (holding Light Clay) - Garchomp [Ground/Dragon] {Rough Skin} (holding a Life Orb) - Mega Lucario [Fighting/Steel] {Adaptability} (holding a Lucarionite) - Staraptor [Normal/Flying] {Intimidate} (holding an Eject Pack) Prize: P16000 + Griseous Orb **BATTLE NOTES: - Nex has 3 Full Restores. >> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Empoleon Moves: Agility, Hydro Pump, Blizzard, Flash Cannon - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sceptile Moves: Leaf Blade, Earthquake, Acrobatics, Swords Dance - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Jolteon Moves: Yawn, Reflect, Light Screen, Thunderbolt - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Garchomp Moves: Earthquake, Outrage, Fire Blast, Swords Dance - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - M.

Huh, interesting but brief. Thanks to user Shut_Up_And_OwU from Reddit who shared information about how to get the Griseous Orb with me, I saw that the Official Guide mentioned the Orb but not how or where to get it. We return to Crystal Peak's B1F area, the section which has that Hiker who was trying to figure out the totems. He has succeeded and shows us how they work: Sliding the totem crystals up (a.k.a deactivating them) makes their respective grounded crystals disappear while sliding the totem crystals down (a.k.a activating them) brings the grounded crystals back. Slide all 3 totem crystals down to clear away the mass of crystals blocking the north way and proceed, then turn left to pick up a Rare Candy below. Go to the northeast side to meet a Kindler who wants to find the 10 hot emeralds he buried. This is Mission 12: >12 BLAZING EMERALDS |||||||||||||||||||| Location: Crystal Peak - Search far and wide for hot emeralds hidden beneath crystals. Go back to the northwest side to locate the first emerald. Return to the totems, slide the blue totem and red totem crystals down and head for the 1F (Area 2) ladder in the southeast side. Let me say this now, there is going to be a lot of moving back and forth between areas to interact with the totem crystals so if you get tired of this then we're in the same boat :) In Area 2, Emerald #3 is right below the blue crystal wall. Head to the south section to slide up the blue totem crystal that's there. Carry on to the southern end to find a Shiny Stone then back up a bit to scale the red crystal wall on the right and go east to a ladder which leads to that small B1F room which was previously empty. This is where we find Emerald #2 and if it is night time for you now there is a portal: *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )10( YVELTAL - The Destruction Pokémon Level: 75 Type: Dark/Flying Ability: Dark Aura Moves Known: **BATTLE NOTES: - Yveltal's Sp. Attack rises at the start. I only played Pokémon X so if I ever encountered Yveltal it would be in one of the older ROMhacks I can't remember now. Back to the south side and scale the left side red crystal wall, Emerald #4 is next to a big red crystal just up ahead. Come back to ground level and slide down the blue totem crystal. Return to B1F to slide up the red totem crystal and slide down the yellow totem crystal. Now we can scale up to the northwest corner of Area 2 and search the top of the big yellow crystal for a hidden Fighting Gem. Back to B1F to slide up the yellow totem crystal, then back to Area 2 and slide up the southern blue totem crystal. Now all crystals are down and that opens the room on the south side, in there we find an Aerodactite. After that continue east into the water, surf down to pick up a Blue Flute. Go through the entrance, we arrive in the Cube Corp. Entrance Area of 1F and find Emerald #7. Back to Area 2, up the waterfall for Emerald #5. Return to the southern blue totem crystal, slide it up then back to B1F to slide up the yellow totem crystal. Return to Area 2, after scaling up to the western side go through the western entrance to 1F (Area 3). As you go west you'll see a way north, follow it to a Hiker who gives us a Grass Gem that he dug up in this area with his ADM. Interesting. The rates for items that you can mine here are as follows: 18% Hard Stone 13% Everstone 10% Gem 9% Shard (Red, Blue, Yellow and Green) 7% Creation Plate 6% Evolution Stone 6% Weather Rock (Heat, Damp, Icy and Smooth) 6% Heart Scale 5% Revive 5% Iron Ball 4% Light Clay 3% Fossil 3% Star Piece 2% Max Revive 1% Odd Keystone 1% Bottle Cap 1% Comet Shard Back to the main way, get to the northwest corner to pick up TM50 Overheat and to the center of the room for Emerald #6 and to meet Krystal the strongest Trainer in Crystal Peak, for now. Back to B1F, slide down the red totem crystal, slide up the yellow totem crystal then in Area 2 slide down the blue totem crystal. Return to the Cube Corp. Entrance Area, scale down the blue crystal wall and go on to meet a pair of Cube Corp. representatives...from the Science Society. Them again xD. Science Society Scientist[M] - Plusle [Electric] - Zebstrika [Electric] Prize: P4320 Science Society Scientist[F] - Minun [Electric] - Raichu [Electric] - Metang [Steel/Psychic] Prize: P4380 Carry on past them to scale a red crystal wall and circle round to the center spot for Zygarde cells #93 and TM71 Stone Edge on the far left. There's a hidden item under those blue crystals in the eastern corner, make a note of that until we find a way to get back here with the blue totem crystal slid up. Make your way back to B1F, slide up the red totem crystal and return to the Cube Corp. Entrance Area to collect Emerald #8 from the south side. Don't worry about that south exit, it's likely to be for the next update because you just walk back in here. Back to B1F to slide down both the yellow totem and red totem crystals then return to the southwest section of Area 2 and head out for the outside area. We'll find a familiar woman out here whose daughter was carried off by a Drfiloon, can we help to find her? This is Mission 42: >42 ONE PURPLE BALLOON |||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Crystal Peak - A little girl has been snatched up by a Drifloon! Find her, and return her safely to her worried mother. The Drifloon and the girl are on the southwest cliff, when we speak to Drifloon it carries the girl off to the northeast near the entrance to 2F. After meeting them there they will fly off to the upper northeast section then down to the intersection of crystal walls and finally back to the southeast side. The Drifloon has returned the girl back to her mother, and when we speak to the mother she turns out to be that Ditto from Fallshore. Yup, these two again xD but this time Ditto Mom attacks us, but it's not a problem. After the battle Drifloon carries the Ditto family off, but some Quick Powder is left behind. To be continued? Go to 2F. We'll find a Youngster circling a yellow totem, that's Rick. Youngster Rick - Loudred [Normal] - Vigoroth [Normal] Prize: P1152 Ignore the totem, carry on to 3F. We'll see Subaru first. Black Belt Subaru - Passimian [Fighting] - Toxicroak [Poison/Fighting] - Monferno [Fire/Fighting] Prize: P2240 Continue to the south side and slide up the red totem crystal. Back to 2F to get Emerald #10 from the northwest corner. Slide up the yellow totem crystal then go north to get the last Emerald and a Yellow Flute above that. Come back to slide down the yellow totem crystal, then slide up the red totem crystal on 3F. Head back to slide up the yellow totem crystal and now we can get the Metal Coat in the upper west side. Finally done. Don't forget to slide down that yellow totem crystal before we make our way back to the Kindler in B1F. For delivering the emeralds we'll get the Jade Orb. Mission completed. Now we aim for the Crystal Peak summit. On 3F's eastern side is where we'll find Reshiram's and Zekrom's portals, depending on the time of day. Daytime is for Reshiram, night time is for Zekrom. *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )06( RESHIRAM - The Vast White Pokémon Level 75 Type: Dragon/Fire Ability: Turboblaze Moves Known: Fusion Flare, Hyper Voice, Fire Blast, Imprison **BATTLE NOTES: - Reshiram's Sp. Attack is raised at the start. *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )07( ZEKROM - Deep Black Pokémon Level 75 Type: Dragon/Electric Ability: Teravolt Moves Known: Fusion Bolt, Hyper Voice, Thunder, Imprison **BATTLE NOTES: - Zekrom's Attack is raised at the start. On 4F we'll meet Lancelot in the central area, thankfully he is the Trainer we need to defeat before facing Krystal. Dragon Tamer Lancelot - Fraxure [Dragon] - Garchomp [Ground/Dragon] Prize: P4500 Carry on to the summit, check out the all the cops that are guarding the giant crystal :) it ain't going anywhere now for sure. Go up to the north edge, the Jade Orb activates and Rayquaza appears. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x [rayq] MEGA RAYQUAZA - The Sky High Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Dragon/Flying Ability: Delta Stream Moves Known: Dragon Pulse, Hyper Voice, Rest, Fly I still remember the brief animated scene shown in Emerald when Rayquaza descends to confront Groudon and Kyogre, that was cool. And it was awesome to battle along side it against Deoxys in Omega Ruby. Good times :) Make your way back to B1F, slide up the red totem crystal and do the same for the blue totem crystal in Area 2 then go on to Area 3 for Krystal. Mega Trainer Krystal - Oranguru [Normal/Psychic] (holding Light Clay) - Druddigon [Dragon] (holding a Life Orb) - Mega Steelix [Steel/Ground] (holding a Steelixite) - Jellicent [Water/Ghost] (holding Leftovers) - Snorlax [Normal] (holding a Choice Band) Prizes: P8100 + Steelixite **BATTLE NOTES: - Krystal has 2 Full Restores. And that's how we end our time in Crystal Peak for now. If you happened to take on the Elite 4 for a second time maybe you noticed that their introductions got updated and then after defeating them you were stopped (again) just before re-entering the Hall of Fame, this time by our good neighbour/Rival Axelrod :) surprise indeed. If there was anyone we were going to defend the Championship against, it makes sense that it was going to be him. And he has a cool new Pokémon from Cinder Volcano that he wants to show us. Uh-oh. Will there be someone else if we come back a third time...? Artie maybe?? Some good news though - this match is a Singles Battle!

Volcanion, huh? Gotta get ourselves one of those. The bad news is he's the default challenger waiting for you after beating the Elite 4 from then onwards. It would've been nice if other Trainers appeared as challengers, even if they were just regular ones. For the next couple of Missions we go back to Fallshore City's Mission HQ. Speak to the Bug Catcher in the 1F room, he asks us to train a Butterfree up to Lv70 and bring it to him for the next task. This is Mission 14: >14 BYE-BYE, BUTTERFREE |||||||||||||||||||| Location: Mission HQ, Fallshore City - The sweet sorrow of goodbyes! Form a deep bond with a Butterfree by training it to at least Level 70. XD, this Mission just wants us to be like Ash and release that Butterfree after all that training. But we get another one from the Bug Catcher, this one is capable of Gigantamaxing and still knows the same moves as the released one. Mission completed. That super rich Lady by the fridge gives us Mission 18: >18 EXP. MILLIONAIRE |||||||||||||||||||| Location: Mission HQ, Fallshore City - Exp. is like gold. Earn 1000000 in one day to become truly rich. No problem, she'll reward us with 2 Lucky Eggs after burning some of her money xD rich people solutions to rich people problems right there. Mission completed. In the corridor we'll meet our undercover comrade the Waitress, she has Mission 58 for us: >58 THE COMMUNIST REVOLUTION |||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Mission HQ, Fallshore City - Rise up in the name of communism! Heal at Pokémon Centers 300 times. Excluding the one in Antisis City, of course. 50 Full Restores for this big task. Mission completed. Past the Waitress is a Scientist who is trying to figure out what's right as far as Pokémon are concerned - religion or science. She gives us Mission 15: >15 DARWIN WAS RIGHT |||||||||||||||||||| Location: Mission HQ, Fallshore City - The theory of evolution is a theorem! Evolve 151 Pokémon total. If we succeed, we get (a copy of) Mew...courtesy of those fine folks at the Science Society :) It's at Lv1 but has perfect IVs and a Mewnium Z. Mission completed. I've definitely caught Mew in some other ROMhacks but I'm not sure if I did in my original Fire Red adventure, that was ages and ages ago from this point. Head upstairs and speak to another Scientist, she's looking for a research assistant for her work on the Sinnoh Lakes. This is Mission 24: >24 GUARDIANS OF THE LAKE ||||||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Mission HQ, Fallshore City - Go to the Cave of Being on Route 10. Begin uncovering its mysteries.* * Erm, long story short - there was a powercut and I hadn't saved my Notepad document before this point so that's not the actual Mission brief :/ sorry. Remember that you need Rock Climb to reach the entrance. [rtcob] CAVE OF BEING --------------------- We'll find the Scientist just up ahead, she senses something unusual about the center of the puddle in front of her. Stand in that spot and watch as Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf approach us before flying out of the cave! The Scientist offers some clues to where they could've gone to: - Uxie (symbolising knowledge): we should check the Dream Research Lab. - Mesprit (symbolising emotion): find a place where our emotions were stirred. - Azelf (symbolising willpower): find a place which represents "seeing something through". Back in Tarmigan Town, just as we are about to enter the Lab we feel a mysterious presence...and when we choose to search the area, Uxie appears. Catch it if you can! =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x [uxie] UXIE - The Knowledge Pokémon Level: 65 Type: Psychic Ability: Levitate Moves Known: Amnesia, Psychic, Yawn, Future Sight After that, Fly back to Frozen Heights and head for the Shadow Base. In the area where we started this game is the Starter which neither we nor the Rival chose, now we can add it to our crew (if your party is currently full it will be moved to Storage). Our emotions were stirred in Zeph's room when we learned more about Aros and everything else. Look who we find there now, Zeph and son-- but before we can enter the room we sense that presence again and here comes Mesprit. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x [mesp] MESPRIT - The Emotion Pokémon Level: 65 Type: Psychic Ability: Levitate Moves Known: Charm, Psychic, Flatter, Future Sight Things are looking up for Zeph, he's here spending time with Junior and asks us for a friendly battle to show Junior who has become a fan of Pokémon battles. A future Trainer perhaps...?

Mission completed. Fly back to Crater Town and speak to the Ruin Maniac roaming near the PokéCenter. He sees our ADM and wants some help in demolishing those collapsed doorways in the KBT Expressway. This is Mission 35: >35 MAJOR MINER ||||||||||||||| Location: Crater Town - Use the ADM to dig through the collapsed doorways in the KBT Expressway, and capture 3 Carbink. Brace yourselves because this is quite a boring Mission (makes the fishing for 30 Magikarp Mission come off like a park picnic xD), you'll spend a lot of time wandering the Expressway scanning those collapsed doorways hoping to find one that the ADM picks up. The rates for items you can mine here are as follows: 18% Hard Stone 13% Everstone 10% Shard (Red, Blue, Yellow and Green) 9% Evolution Stone 7% Creation Plate 6% Heart Scale 6% Weather Rock (Heat, Damp, Icy and Smooth) 6% Revive 5% Gem 5% Fossil 4% Iron Ball 3% Light Clay 3% Star Piece 2% Max Revive 1% Odd Keystone 1% Bottle Cap 1% Comet Shard Unfortunately this is the only way to get Carbink in the game if you really want one. After mining through the rubble in a doorway you'll then move into a room occupied by a Carbink that you'll fight in a Dynamax battle.

Fantastic :s Mission completed. As far as the Raid Den is concerned, it's just Carbink that you'll find. [rdkbt] KBT Expressway Raid Den (4 Stars) (5-6 Stars) Carbink [Rock/Fairy] Carbink [Rock/Fairy] I was racing around the Expressway a few days after doing that Mission (trying to hatch Eggs for that Magma Stone xD, the struggle..) and luck favoured me, hopefully it will for you too.

It's been one of those Pokémon whose name I see once in a while online and I thought it's Carbink's evolved form. Didn't know that it hadn't appeared in the official games, has that changed since Gen 6? For the next Mission we are finally going to see what is currently accessible for Redwood Forest. Bring along someone who can Headbutt trees. [rtrw] REDWOOD FOREST --------------------- Pokémon Found ............. KEY ... * - Pokémon that are exclusive to this area based on the time of day.

Snorlax remains asleep, which gives us a good chance to catch it! o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o >>POKé BOSS FIGHT<< o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o+o Snorlax - The Sleeping Pokémon Level: 50 Type: Normal Ability: Immunity Moves Known: Heavy Slam, Amnesia, Horsepower, Hammer Arm Item Held: Leftovers Soon afterwards the girl's former boyfriend runs up to us, looking for her and once he learns where she has gone to he gives us a Snorlium Z. This section is as much of Redwood Forest as we can currently get, so try to make the most of it. On the right is a portal (if it during the day) while on the left is the guy we're here for. To the south are TM19 Giga Drain in the southeast area of the grass and a pair of Workers who are acting as blocks until the next update. What's in this portal? *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )09( XERNEAS - The Life Pokémon Level: 75 Type: Fairy Ability: Fairy Aura Moves Known: Moonblast, Heal Pulse, Megahorn, Close Combat **BATTLE NOTES: - Xerneas' Attack goes up at the start. Design wise, I still prefer Xerneas over Yveltal and that was one of the reasons I chose Pokémon X over Pokémon Y. Name too :) just sounds cooler. As for the Mission, not as cool - the guy wants us to Headbutt the trees 50 times as revenge for his foolishness *sigh* this is Mission 39: >39 NUMBSKULL ||||||||||||| Location: Redwood Forest - Are you dense? Smash Pokémon heads against trees 50 times! For this one we'll get a Pinsirite. Not a single Pinsir popped up while I did this xD, thanks a lot. Mission completed + a splitting headache...give me a moment. Afterwards we go back to Fallshore City, 2F of Mission HQ. Speak to the paranoid Scientist in the corridor for Mission 44: >44 POPULATION CONTROL |||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Mission HQ, Fallshore City - Capture 50 Pokémon in one day to reduce overpopulation. 50 Quick Balls if you succeed. Back to back lousy Missions, damn. And these are post-game content xD, here I thought we would be jumping from one cool Mission to another. Mission completed. Enter the room and talk to the Black Belt, he's got some news that will cheer us up: the Swords of Justice have appeared! This is Mission 53: >53 SWORDS OF JUSTICE ||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Mission HQ, Fallshore City - The Swords of Justice are hiding in Victory Road! Capture and bring them back to Fallshore City. The ladder that we couldn't reach on Victory Road 1F is accessible now via Rock Climb but leave it for after we're done with this Mission because there's a puzzle down below so no rush. Get to the Grass Maze area, move north to the section of grass above the Kindler and Bug Maniac cousins - there we'll see Virizion. If we try to interact with it, Virizion flees to the northeast side (just above the Pokémon Ranger), then to the northwest side, then to the south side and finally disappears from the area (?). Okay. Carry on to 3F's cave, just above the entrance is Terrakion. From there it will run to the northeast corner, along the way up we'll find Virizion in the north section. Leave it there because if you talk to Virizion it will return to the Maze and you have to start chasing after it again until it comes back here. Terrakion will move from northeast to southwest then northwest and finally in the north section. Continue on to the Snowy area, Cobalion is on the slope above Kyurem's cave. From there it will go to the southwest side, then the northeast grassy cliff, then the spot with rocks in the central section and finally joins the other two in 3F's cave. Catch 'em if you can! =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x [terr] TERRAKION - The Cavern Pokémon Level: 50 Type: Rock/Fighting Ability: Justified Moves Known: Retaliate, Rock Slide, Take Down, Sacred Sword =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x [coba] COBALION - The Iron Will Pokémon Level: 50 Type: Steel/Fighting Ability: Justified Moves Known: Retaliate, Metal Burst, Take Down, Sacred Sword =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x [viri] VIRIZION - Th Grassland Pokémon Level: 50 Type: Grass/Fighting Ability: Justified Moves Known: Retaliate, Giga Drain, Take Down, Sacred Sword Once they are in the party return to the Black Belt and show him. He has some suspicions about them, so he says we should follow him to Route 17. We'll find him below the southwest rock face of the middle vertical island. We let the Pokémon out and they reveal an opening in the rock face, the Black Belt believes that they are connected to whatever is inside. He then gives us 10 Fast Balls so we're ready to fight. Mission completed. Go inside and meet Keldeo for a Dynamax-powered duel! =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>DYNA LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= [keld] KELDEO - The Colt Pokémon [Ordinary Form] Level: 80 Type: Water/Fighting Ability: Justified Moves Known: Max Knuckle/Sacred Sword, Max Guard/Swords Dance, Max Geyser/Hydro Pump, Max Knuckle/Close Combat Item Held: Star Piece **BATTLE NOTES: - All of Keldeo's stats go up at the start. Keldeo I remember more for its role in the ROMhack Pokémon Resolute, which was an okay game if the story wasn't a little messy at times. Otherwise I barely remember the Swords of Justice from the official games. Return to Victory Road and let's attempt this new (but very ancient) puzzle. [rtvr2] VICTORY ROAD (Post-Game) -------------------- -B1F- (a.k.a Magma Cave or Lava Puzzle Room) HMs Needed: (Lava) Surf, Strength. Pokémon Found (All Day) ............. Woobat [Psychic/Flying] Magcargo [Fire/Rock] Salazzle [Poison/Fire] Camerupt [Fire/Ground] Graveler [Rock/Ground] Excadrill [Ground/Steel] Heatmor [Fire] Magmar [Fire] First person we find here is Hayes. Ruin Maniac Hayes - Tyrantrum [Rock/Dragon] Prize: P3744 On the north side is a tablet: MOVE LIKE A CLOCK. FINISH IN THE CENTRE. There are 5 platforms, each with a boulder and pressure plate. Start from the northwest platform, after pushing the boulder there we're teleported to the centre platform. Go to the northeast one, push the boulder onto the plate then do the same for the southeast and southwest plates then the centre one and so opens the Victory Road Hidden Grotto. Inside we find a Kommonium Z. [rdvr] Victory Road Raid Den (4 Stars) (5-6 Stars) Durant [Bug/Steel] Durant [Bug/Steel] Druddigon [Dragon] Druddigon [Dragon] Turtonator [Fire/Dragon] Turtonator [Fire/Dragon] Drampa [Normal/Dragon] Drampa [Normal/Dragon] Lurantis [Grass] Lurantis [Grass] Wigglytuff [Normal/Fairy] Wigglytuff [Normal/Fairy] Hakamo-o [Dragon/Fighting] Kommo-o [Dragon/Fighting] Back to Mission HQ, 2F, to speak with the anti-communist Mart employee and get Mission 57: >57 THE CAPITALIST REVOLUTION ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Mission HQ, Fallshore City - Rise up in the name of capitalism! Make 300 purchases from shops. 200 Premier Balls after all that shopping, so let the war between the communists and the capitalists begin! Mission completed. Fly to Tarmigan Town and enter the house next to the Mart, that's the home of the boy who hasn't woken up from his nightmare. This time we find the boy's father Eldon, he wonders if someone at the Dream Research Lab could help. This is Mission 59: >59 THE ENDLESS NIGHTMARE ||||||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Tarmigan Town - A small boy is having a nightmare! Maybe a scientist at the Dream Research Lab can wake him up. At the Lab you'll get 3 Dream Balls from the Scientist by the bookshelves on the east side. The Scientist near the roaming Munna is whom we're here for, she is certain this case goes with her research and so she goes to the house. Back there she explains to Eldon that his son is locked in an endless nightmare by a Pokémon. In order to save him we need the Lunar Wing from a place called Fullmoon Island. Eldon has a boat in Fallshore City that can get us there. [rtfi] FULLMOON ISLAND ---------------------- Under the green shrub below is a hidden Kee Berry. Go on to the north side for an entrance among the trees, it leads to a clearing where we find Cresselia. The power of the Lunar Wing causes it to Dynamax out just in time for our battle. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>DYNA LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= [cress] CRESSELIA - The Lunar Pokémon Level: 60 Type: Psychic Ability: Levitate Moves Known: Max Guard/Safeguard, Max Mindstorm/Psychic, Max Starfall/Moonblast, Max Guard/Moonlight When we return to Fallshore City, you may see another Sailor by the next boat. He'll have some extra items to give us - 5 Repeat Balls. Back in Tarmigan Town stand in front of the boy and let the Lunar Wing do its work. The good news is that his nightmare ends...but the bad news is that we end up in a nightmare of our own! A completely black world where we find Mom, all she says is "Welcome home, dear" until she says this is our new home and vanishes. Go east to see Jax and Prof. Log, speak to Jax first then Log for both of them to disappear. Go west to find an unconscious Axelrod, a memory from when we first met him at the Shadow Base. After he's gone, go east to talk to Marlon and then we'll find the sleeping boy, who tells us that we're doomed. Yup, that's nice to know in a place like this :) Go north to find Eldon and be blamed for the state of his son before he disappears. Then we meet the cause of all this - Darkrai! With help from this nightmare it expands in size and attacks! =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>DYNA MYTHICAL FIGHT<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= DARKRAI - The Pitch-Black Pokémon Level: 75 Type: Dark Ability: Bad Dreams Moves Known: Dark Void, Max Darkness, Max Knuckle, Focus Blast Darkrai disappears and we wake up a moment later. It turns out Eldon's son woke up after the Lunar Wing reacted but then we suddenly went under a trance. To thank us, Eldon gives us an old Member Card for the Tarmigan Inn. Wow, the last entry is from 30 years ago! Eldon will be found in Fallshore City if we ever need to sail again. Mission completed. Head for the Inn, as soon as we enter we're met by a man who claims they've had reservation there for us all along. We get into bed by some odd force and then zzzzz.... [rtnw] NEWMOON ISLAND --------------------- Go all the way west, check for a hidden Marang Berry near the entrance and then proceed to face Darkrai once again. Catch it if you can! =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>MYTHICAL BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= [dark] DARKRAI - The Pitch-Black Pokémon Level: 80 Type: Dark Ability: Bad Dreams Moves Known: Double Team, Dark Void, Haze, Dark Pulse A voice from somewhere speaks to Darkrai, explaining why it chose to come here. After that we wake up back in the Inn and perhaps the nightmares are truly over. I missed out on both Cresselia and Darkrai during my official games run, because I didn't even know about Fullmoon Island and Newmoon Island at the time. So the last time I saw them was in Pokémon Adventure Red Chapter. The Worker on 2F of Mission HQ is the Trash-Man, and he is searching for classy trash...that he can eat (don't ask him why). Can we search 100 trash cans for Mission 67? >67 THE TRASH-MAN ||||||||||||||||| Location: Mission HQ, Fallshore City - Become part of the trash! Search 100 trash cans for lucrative trash. If you want a Shiny Lv50 Garbodor with perfect IVs and is capable of Gigantamaxing then start searching. Mission completed. The next Mission is in Gurun Town, at the house just south from the statue. The Psychic there recognises us as the person who found the Tomb of Borrius' burial chamber....so you can probably guess what his Mission involves xD, this is Mission 72: >72 TREASURE HUNTER ||||||||||||||||||| Location: Gurun Town - Return to the Tomb of Borrius, and find all of the Hidden Items! That's the minor bad news, the major good news is if you got all the Hidden Items that I pointed out during our tomb raiding run then you should have 1 item remaining according to the Mission Log. The final Hidden Item is a Relic Silver which is in the southwest corner of the pixelating puzzle room. The reward for this is a Larvesta Egg that the Psychic found while doing his own tomb exploration, nice. Mission completed. Because it's such a rare Pokémon even in the ROMhack universe, I don't know much about Larvesta. The last game I saw it in was Pokémon Gaia, so I'll give it a chance in this game and see what it's all about. Just outside the Seaport PokéCenter is the policeman that we teamed up with to track down the Terror Granbull goons on Route 10. This time he needs our help in calming down some Sharpedo in the underwater area of Route 17. The cops have no idea what has caused the Sharpedo to be like this. Here is Mission 49: >49 SHARK BAIT |||||||||||||| Location: Seaport City - The Sharpedo on the ocean floor of Route 17 have become agitated! Calm down 20 of them. Once you're back down there go east into Area 2, we'll find the first Sharpedo of two that are swimming around there. It will attack if it sees us, a Lv75 beast that gets a random stat boost at the start of battle. And we're supposed to calm 19 others like it?? After dealing with the second Sharpedo go through that top left entrance to Area 3, the next two Sharpedo spotted right away while a third Sharpedo is circling that middle trench. Back to Area 2 and continue east to Area 4 for Sharpedo #6 and #7. East into Area 5 where we find Sharpedo #8 and then #9 in the eastern passage which leads to Area 6. We'll see #10 as soon as we arrive in Area 6. Head west to find #11 to #16. On the south side are #17 and #18 who team up against us. Continue back to Area 3 via the northwest entrance then northwest again in Area 3 to the Passage A for Sharpedo #19 and Passage B for the last one. As soon as that Sharpedo is defeated we're spotted by the real predator, watch out! Perfect time for that Spielberg shark movie theme to start up! OxOxOxOxOxOxOxOxOxO >>DYNA BOSS FIGHT<< OxOxOxOxOxOxOxOxOxO Mega Sharpedo - The Brutal Pokémon Level: (varies) Type: Water/Dark Ability: Strong Jaw Moves Known: Max Darkness/Jaw Lock, Max Geyser/Liquidation, Max Quake/Earthquake, Max Hailstorm/Ice Fang Item Held: Sharpedonite Whoa, how was that? If we encounter a Trainer with a Sharpedo on their team in the next battle it will be too soon! Return to the policeman and receive that Sharpedonite. Mission completed. Next up we go back to Magnolia Town and then east to the Fields where a storm is in progress. Make your way back to that rocky section of land where we met Rancher Molly (she told us about the missing guardian), this time Molly isn't there but the old lady on the north side of the land is still around. She shows us the pair of monsters responsible for the crops being destroyed - Thundurus and Tornadus! A Legendary Double Battle coming up, brace for it! =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x THUNDURUS - The Bolt Strike Pokémon [Incarnate Forme] Level: (varies) Type: Electric/Flying Ability: Prankster Moves Known: (vary) TORNADUS - The Cyclone Pokémon [Incarnate Forme] Level: (varies) Type: Flying Ability: Prankster Moves Known: (vary) They flee after checking us out and are now roaming around Borrius. Nice, and the weather clears up too with the two of them gone. Go back to Magnolia Town and speak to the lady Rancher in the farmhouse, she tells us that the Miltank have been stolen! Not just by anyone but by those Terror Granbull goons! Here we go again with these clowns, this is Mission 25: >25 HERD BUT NOT SEEN ||||||||||||||||||||| Location: Magnolia Town - Rescue Miltank kidnapped by the Terror Granbull in Magnolia Fields! We'll find the Goons in the northwest side of the Fields, near the Tamer who gave us the Safari Zone Mission. This time the Goons are with their boss Gruff, he isn't too happy about their previous operation in Cootes Bog but now that they've got some Miltank there's a chance to make serious cash thanks to their milk. The problem is Gruff's approach scares the Miltank and they scatter (one heads north while the other two go east). Soon enough the Goons notice us, it's good to see that Gruff remembers us. It's been a while after all :) Terror Granbull Goon - Granbull [Fairy] - Granbull [Fairy] Prize: P2960 Goon B steps in to show the other guy how it's done. Terror Granbull Goon - Granbull [Fairy] - Granbull [Fairy] Prize: P3040 But he fails too and Gruff wonders why he's stuck with these geniuses xD then we're joined by another familiar face - James! Long time no see, where has he been? We learn that the Terror Granbull were another gang that got run out of Antisis City by the Black Ferrothorn. James also reveals that he and his fellow crewmembers are now known as the Black Horizon, with a new Boss and everything...and Gruff is welcome to join them (!) That's explosive. James believes that if they team up they can beat the Black Ferrothorn. Gruff likes the sound of that and soon enough the Terror Granbull set off to become a part of this new organisation. Unfortunately for us we can't join too because the Boss isn't too fond of youngsters like us, due to bad experiences with children in the past. Who is this new Boss anyway? Now what's left is to round up the Miltank, which involves approaching them from one side so that they run in the opposite direction until we get them back to Magnolia Town. Starting with the one that went north, take it with you back to the south side of the Fields. There you'll find one of the other two Miltank while the third one is in the northeast area. Once you've got all three of them in the south area, cut the top skinny tree of the two skinny trees that are here and simply navigate two of the Miltank back to town through there. The remaining Miltank has to be navigated through the path where that running Rancher is. The 3 Miltank will make their way back to the Farm once they enter Magnolia, go to the farmhouse to receive 100 Moomoo Milks as reward. Mission completed. Thanks again to Reddit user CoulofSinder for sharing information about how to trigger this Mission. Thundurus and Tornadus are out and about roaming the region, catch them! =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x [thund] THUNDURUS - The Bolt Strike Pokémon [Incarnate Forme] Level: 45 Type: Electric/Flying Ability: Prankster Moves Known: Charge, Volt Switch, Crunch, Discharge =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x [torn] TORNADUS - The Cyclone Pokémon [Incarnate Forme] Level: 45 Type: Flying Ability: Prankster Moves Known: Tailwind, Air Slash, Crunch, Extrasensory Have them in your party and return to the Magnolia Fields spot where we battled them, the final Force of Nature has appeared there now. With the power of the land it expands in size, catch it if you can! =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>DYNA LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= [land] LANDORUS - The Abundance Pokémon [Incarnate Forme] Level: 70 Type: Ground/Flying Ability: Sand Force Moves Known: Max Knuckle/Hammer Arm, Max Wyrmwind/Outrage, Sandstorm, Max Quake/Earthquake And so the land has been blessed by the Guardian of the Fields. The old woman shows her gratitude by giving us the Reveal Glass. Another set of Legendary Pokémon that I found out about in the ROMhack universe. I like their designs, resembling genies. We've now uncovered all the post-game Missions, so let's continue the Portal Purge Mission. Raikou and Entei have been on a tour of Borrius since the last time we faced them at the Ruins of Void, it's time we finally captured them: *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )01( RAIKOU - The Thunder Pokémon Level: 40 Type: Electric Ability: Pressure Moves Known: Calm Mind, Roar, Thunder Fang, Howl *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )02( ENTEI - The Volcano Pokémon Level: 40 Type: Fire Ability: Inner Focus Moves Known: Calm Mind, Roar, Fire Fang, Scary Face With them in your party go back to the Ruins of Void B1F room where we first battled them, Suicune will be waiting for us there. *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )03( SUICUNE - The Aurora Pokémon Level: 40 Type: Water Ability: Pressure Moves Known: Calm Mind, Roar, Aurora Beam, Tailwind Add Suicune to the party and carry on to the basement room where we died (oh yeah, that happened by the way...), there is a pair of portals this time: *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )04( HO-OH - The Rainbow Pokémon Level: 75 Type: Fire/Flying Ability: Pressure Moves Known: Recover, Sacred Fire, Sunny Day, Fire Blast **BATTLE NOTES: - Ho-oh gets a Sp.

Defense boost at the start. The Legendary Beasts, Ho-oh and Lugia...still takes me back to the Gen 2 days even after all these years :) the very first official game I played was Silver version, although I didn't get far at the time because it was a borrowed game. It was nice to see some of the Johto Pokémon after having been introduced to them in the anime. Remember that we've already dealt with no.06 and no.07 (Reshiram and Zekrom), for no.08 we go back to the Command Center of the Vivill Town Warehouse. We get to meet the friend of a man who has been around for a VERY long time... *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )08( FLOETTE - The SingleBloom Pokémon [Eternal AZ Version] Level: 70 Type: Fairy Ability: Flower Veil Moves Known: Petal Dance, Wish, Solar Beam, Light of Ruin **BATTLE NOTES: - Floette gets a Sp. Defense boost at the start. Already got no.09 and no.10 (Xerneas and Yveltal). No.11's portal is found on the eastern slopes of Route 11, specifically the area after passing Mega Trainer Timothy. *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )11( TAPU KOKO - The Land Spirit Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Electric/Fairy Ability: Electric Surge Moves Known: Nature's Mad, Wild Charge, Brave Bird, Power Swap **BATTLE NOTES: - Tapu Koko gets a Speed boost at the start. No.12 (Tapu Lele) we've got it. Head for the lake on Route 9, no.13's portal is in the middle of it. *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )13( TAPU BULU - The Land Spirit Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Grass/Fairy Ability: Grassy Surge Moves Known: Nature's Mad, Wood Hammer, Mega Horn, Skull Bash **BATTLE NOTES: - Tapu Bulu gets an Attack boost at the start. No.14's portal is on Route 2's eastern side, near the Crush Kin duo and Hiker. *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )14( TAPU FINI - The Land Spirit Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Water/Fairy Ability: Misty Surge Moves Known: Nature's Mad, Moonblast, Hydro Pump, Soak **BATTLE NOTES: - Tapu Fini gets a Defense boose at the start. All the Gen 7 Guardians have now been acquired. For No.15 we'll first need to get another Pokémon, remember that Bag which Aklove left on the Route 12 beach? Make room in your party and go there to pick up Nebby! [nebb] COSMOG - The Nebula Pokémon Level: 15 Type: Psychic Ability: Unaware Moves Known: Splash, Teleport Ahh, so that's where the nickname came from. Not bad, Lillie. I'd wondered why she nicknamed it Nebby. We have to evolve Cosmog into Cosmoem (by levelling up to Lv43) then Solgaleo (by levelling up to Lv53 during the day) and bring it back with us to the Route 12 beach at night. *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )15( LUNALA - The Moone Pokémon Level: 75 Type: Psychic/Ghost Ability: Shadow Shield Moves Known: Geist Beam, Moonblast, PhantomForce, Dream Eater **BATTLE NOTES: - Lunala gets a Sp. Attack boost at the start. I didn't play Moon so this is my very first time encountering Lunala. Interesting moves and Ability but I would be worried if a tough Dark-type came along for a one on one fight. No.16 (Nihilego) we've got it. No.17's portal appears above the Route 4 waterfall during the day. *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )17( BUZZWOLE - The Swollen Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Bug/Fighting Ability: Beast Boost Moves Known: Counter, Hammer Arm, Superpower, Focus Punch **BATTLE NOTES: - Buzzwole gets an Attack boost at the start. Given how overused the word "swol" is in pop culture these days, I just had to laugh at the Dex description for Buzzwole. The name is familiar, I think it might have been among the Pokémon which were left out of the final update for Pokémon Adventure Red Chapter. So Unbound is the very first ROMhack which gives me a chance to see these other Ultra Beasts and try them out...but damn, how did we go from the simple familiar designs of Gen 1 to 3 to official Pokémon that might be mistaken for Fakemon xD?? Return to the Great Desert's centre canyon (where we found the trapped Clown and battled Mega Trainer Travon) during the day to find No.18's portal. *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )18( PHEROMOSA - The Lissome Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Bug/Fighting Ability: Beast Boost Moves Known: Speed Swap, Bug Buzz, Quiver Dance, Hi Jump Kick **BATTLE NOTES: - Pheromosa gets a Speed boost at the start. It makes me think of Perfect Cell from Dragon Ball Z and the Chimera Ant King from Hunter x Hunter...actually I think Pheromosa would fit among the Chimera Ants. No.19's portal appears in northwest section of Thundercap Mt. 2F at night. *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )19( XURKITREE - The Glowing Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Electric Ability: Beast Boost Moves Known: Thunderbolt, Elec Terrain, Power Whip, Zap Cannon **BATTLE NOTES: - Xurkitree gets a Sp. Attack boost at the start. I dig the name...but what in blazes is that thing xD?? We'll find No.20's portal in the middle of Crater Town at night. *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )20( CELESTEELA - The Launch Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Steel/Flying Ability: Beast Boost Moves Known: Leech Seed, Heavy Slam, Double-Edge, Skull Bash **BATTLE NOTES: - Celesteela gets a Defense boost at the start. A giant living vegetable or cheese grater, that's what Celesteela makes me think of. Enter Vivill Woods during the day and go to the northwest pond to find No.21's portal. *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )21( KARTANA - The Drawn Sword Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Grass/Steel Ability: Beast Boost Moves Known: Leaf Blade, Sacred Sword, Swords Dance, Guillotine **BATTLE NOTES: - Kartana gets an Attack boost at the start. Even though there's Ferroseed and Ferrothorn that are under the Grass/Steel-type, when I saw Kartana's type I immediately thought of Chanolour from Pokémon Clover. For No.22 we have to return to the Antisis Sewers Area 2 at night, that southwest section which needed us to know Waterfall in order to enter it. *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )22( GUZZLORD - The Junkivor Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Dark/Dragon Ability: Beast Boost Moves Known: Dragon Rush, Belch, Thrash, Giga Impact **BATTLE NOTES: - Guzzlord gets an Attack boost at the start. I remember seeing Guzzlord in Pokémon Adventure Red Chapter and thinking it was one of the Fakemon made for the game haha with what we've seen of these Ultra Beasts so far could you have blamed me? No.23's portal appears on Frost Mountain 3F at night when you've got Solgaleo and Lunala in the party. *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )23( NECROZMA - The Prism Pokémon Level: 75 Type: Psychic Ability: Prism Armor Moves Known: Rock Blast, Iron Defense, Power Gem, PhotonGeyser **BATTLE NOTES: - Necrozma gets an Attack boost at the start. I hadn't seen what it looks like until now and didn't know much about it except that it is in the Ultra games. The name gives it a big villain vibe though. No.24 pops up just south of the Fishing Dude's house on Route 7 during the day. *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )24( STAKATAKA - The Rampart Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Rock/Steel Ability: Beast Boost Moves Known: Iron Head, Take Down, Stealth Rock, Double-Edge **BATTLE NOTES: - Stakataka gets a Defense boost at the start. It just looks like a stone stool that has gone on the attack xD reminds me of that creepy toy with a doll's head from Toy Story. And finally No.25, we'll find its portal in the northwest side of Magnolia Fields at night. *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* >>PORTAL PURGE BATTLE<< *x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x* )25( BLACEPHALON - The Fireworks Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Fire/Ghost Ability: Beast Boost Moves Known: Will-o-Wisp, Trick, Fire Blast, Mind Blown **BATTLE NOTES: - Blacephalon gets a Sp. Attack boost at the start. Gotta give a slow clap for whoever came up with that Mind Blown move :D clever name that fits with the description, well played. As for Blacephalon...it reminds me of Prospero from One Piece because of the colourful outfit. All the Portal Pokémon have been taken care of, go back home and speak to Prof. Log. Those Pokémon should've been enough of a reward but we get one more - another Master Ball. Maybe you were expecting something else :) well how about the two items on the table too - a pair of Mega Stones for the Starters that we didn't select. A little better xD, Mission completed. Now we move on to search for the remaining Mythical and Legendary Pokémon. xoxoxoxoxoxoxox [arti] ARTICUNO xoxoxoxoxoxoxox Fly back home and head north to the spot next to the KBT Expressway entrance. We'll be asked if we want to call to Articuno, say Yes and then the magical password of the day (Sankren fimbulvetr) and here it comes! =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x ARTICUNO - The Freeze Pokémon Level: 50 Type: Ice/Flying Ability: Pressure Moves Known: Freeze-Dry, Roost, Ice Beam, Hail xoxoxoxoxoxox [zapd] ZAPDOS xoxoxoxoxoxox Make it to the summit of Thundercap Mt., say Yes then the magical password of the day (Sankren thoron) and mind the lightning. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x ZAPDOS - The Electric Pokémon Level: 50 Type: Electric/Flying Ability: Pressure Moves Known: Drill Peck, Roost, Discharge, Rain Dance xoxoxoxoxoxoxo [zera] ZERAORA xoxoxoxoxoxoxo While we're here on Thundercap Mt. go back to that area of 4F where we rescued Milo (the boy in the Pikasuit) and met the man who needed a digging machine so he could reach a yellow Pokémon he once saw on a ledge. We've got that machine now, let him borrow it for a moment and watch as he breaks through the wall. He goes out to take a photo of the Pokémon and leaves us to catch it. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>MYTHICAL BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= ZERAORA - The Thunderclap Pokémon Level: 80 Type: Electric Ability: Volt Absorb Moves Known: Hone Claws, Dischage, Wild Charge, Agility I would seen an image of Zeraora on the Pokémon Database site a few times but had no idea what it was. Sweet design. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo [molt] MOLTRES xoxoxoxoxoxoxo To the summit of Cinder Volcano we go for the final Legendary Bird. Say Yes, one more magical password (Sankren bolganone) and don't fall off the edge. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x MOLTRES - The Flame Pokémon Level: 50 Type: Fire/Flying Ability: Pressure Moves Known: Air Slash, Roost, Heat Wave, Sunny Day xoxoxoxoxoxoxo [heat] HEATRAN xoxoxoxoxoxoxo Still in Cinder Volcano, descend to 1F and enter the north area. We'll see this curious creature on the island in the middle of the lava pool. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x HEATRAN - The Lava Dome Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Fire/Steel Ability: Flash Fire Moves Known: Metal Sound, Earth Power, Heat Wave, Stone Edge I last encountered Heatran in Pokémon Kanlara Ultimate, where it was about to be used by Team Magma Boss Maxie to take over the world. Design wise it's not bad. Next up, we're going after the Legendary Titans so prepare yourselves for some Braille-flavoured puzzle action...because 5 generations after Gen 3 the ROMhack universe still can't get enough of Braille-powered puzzles :) xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo [regir] REGIROCK xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Fly to Gurun Town and head into the Great Desert, aiming for the southeastern section and the now unsealed tomb of Regirock. DESERT RUINS ------------ Head up to the north wall and let's read that Braille message: BEGIN FROM THE CENTRE. CREATE WHAT YOU SEEK. You have to form the H symbol for Regirock using the boulders, I'll include a screenshot of what you should end up with. You start by pushing that middle boulder of the 5 south boulders to the centre of the room and then get the remaining boulders into position. There's a sudden quake and the chamber to Regirock is opened. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x REGIROCK - The Rock Peak Pokémon Level: 50 Type: Rock Ability: Clear Body Moves Known: Curse, Iron Defense, Hammer Arm, Stone Edge A big thank you to my friend Marko who checked out Youtube for the solution, I'm offline at the moment and was getting stumped by this puzzle because I didn't know how close or far the boulders were supposed to be from the centre. I figured out that you're meant to form the symbol after catching Regice and Registeel. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo [regic] REGICE xoxoxoxoxoxoxo Return to the Frozen Forest's southeast area where we battled that Burglar who had taken Alolan Ninetales. There's a frozen stream on upper right, slide along it to reach the Frozen Tomb. FROZEN TOMB ----------- The Braille message up top says this: CRACK THE ICE. LEAVE PURE WHAT YOU SEEK. I'll take a screenshot of how the ice should look to solve this puzzle so please check that. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x REGICE - The Iceberg Pokémon Level: 50 Type: Ice Ability: Clear Body Moves Known: Curse, Amnesia, Hammer Arm, Blizzard xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox [regis] REGISTEEL xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox The Island Cave we're going to is on the island just southwest from the Route 18 waterfall. ISLAND CAVE ----------- On the north wall we find this message: NATURE MOLDS TO OUR WILL. TURN THE CRYSTALS TO WHAT YOU SEEK. The idea is to turn the crystals until they are all red. The colour change pattern is Blue -> Yellow -> Purple -> Red. The middle crystal changes colours for all the crystals. Please check the screenshots that I'll provide with the walkthrough for the following solution: after turning the outer crystals to the same colour (e.g. image 01), touch any one of those outer crystals until you get the middle crystal and the 3 opposite outer crystals to the same colour (e.g. image 02). Sticking with image 02, touch that upper right crystal until those 4 crystals turn purple then go for the middle crystal and make them all red. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x REGISTEEL - The Iron Pokémon Level: 50 Type: Steel Ability: Clear Body Moves Known: Iron Defense, Amnesia, Hammer Arm, Heavy Slam I really liked the Regi's Battle theme during my old Ruby version adventure. It added to how mysterious and dangerous they looked. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox [regig] REGIGIGAS xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox Leave only the Titans in your party (position them in the order of Regirock, Regice and Registeel), return to the Frozen Forest's northwest section and enter the small chamber to awaken the original Titan. Be ready because Regigigas is at Lv100! =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x REGIGIGAS - The Colossal Pokémon Level: 100 Type: Normal Ability: Slow Start Moves Known: Heavy Slam, Hammer Arm, Giga Impact, Crush Grip For me the most surprising thing about Regigigas is that it's a Normal-type. I thought maybe it would be a Ground-type. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo [celeb] CELEBI xoxoxoxoxoxoxo In Redwood Village add the Spiked Ear Pichu to your party and speak to the old man on the north side. Celebi will appear next to him after sensing its old friend in the party, catch it if you can. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>MYTHICAL BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= CELEBI - The Time Travel Pokémon Level: 65 Type: Psychic/Grass Ability: Natural Cure Moves Known: Life Dew, Leech Seed, Recover, Future Sight Item Held: Lum Berry Can't think of Celebi without remembering how much I wanted to watch Pokémon 4Ever back in the day. The local video club didn't have it so it would be some years before I finally got to see the movie on TV. Only in the ROMhack universe have I encountered Celebi. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo [jira] JIRACHI xoxoxoxoxoxoxo Speak to the old man who lives in the western house in Crater Town. He tells us a brief story about how Jirachi and another Pokémon appeared here when the town was destroyed. The townspeople thought they could use Jirachi's wish power to restore the town but they ended up locking it away in the southeastern house. The old man goes out to unlock the house for us now that we're the Champion and warns us that Jirachi will battle us first once we wake it up. Prepare yourselves. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>DYNA MYTHICAL FIGHT<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= JIRACHI - The Wish Pokémon Level: 70 Type: Steel/Psychic Ability: Serene Grace Moves Known: Max Steelspike/Meteor Mash, Cosmic Power, Max Strike/Double-Edge, Max Mindstorm/Future Sight Item Held: Star Piece Unfortunately I don't live in Japan, Europe or America so even though I had a Gen 3 game at the time I missed out on getting Jirachi officially. Several years later I did get it, unofficially :) thanks to games like Adventure Red Chapter, Light Platinum, Glazed and Mega Power. Are there any good ROMhacks or fan-made games out there that you know of which have their story based around Jirachi? Return to the old man to confirm that we got Jirachi and we learn that it must be with us in order for the other Pokémon to appear. Once Jirachi is in the party go out to Route 5 and head east (going along the path which leads to the Hidden Grotto) all the way until we're in a portion of Route 13. A crater has been created by the arrival of that other Pokémon, in the upper left corner above the crater are Zygarde cells #55. There's a hidden Comet Shard in the crater, get it and then greet this visitor from out of space. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>MYTHICAL BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= [deox] DEOXYS - The DNA Pokémon [Normal Forme] Level: 85 Type: Psychic Ability: Pressure Moves Known: Cosmic Power, Recover, Psycho Boost, Hyper Beam That old man will note that we've caught Deoxys and suggests we bring it to the meteorites that are in the middle of town. They are what allows Deoxys to change Formes. Just like Jirachi I missed out on Deoxys officially, this time it was because I didn't know about the Aurora Ticket and Birth Island until many years later. Unofficially I did eventually encounter it and officially that happened in Omega Ruby. The Regi's Battle theme was cool...then I heard the Deoxys Battle theme. Regi's Battle theme had to take a back seat xD. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo [shay] SHAYMIN xoxoxoxoxoxoxo We've proven ourselves in battle many times during our adventure so the Ace Trainer who guards the northern area of Flower Paradise lets us pass. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>MYTHICAL BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= SHAYMIN - The Gratitude Pokémon [Land Forme] Level: 30 Type: Grass Ability: Natural Cure Moves Known: Growth, Magical Leaf, Leech Seed, Synthesis No official encounters with this one, the first time I saw it was in Pokémon Flora Sky (the Complement Dex version) where it was the main Mythical Pokémon. The Sky Forme is currently unavailable for Unbound. xoxoxoxoxoxox [kyur] KYUREM xoxoxoxoxoxox We found an empty cave on the north side of the Victory Road Snowy Path. It is empty no longer. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x >>LEGENDARY BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x KYUREM - The Boundary Pokémon Level: 80 Type: Dragon/Ice Ability: Pressure Moves Known: Blizzard, Imprison, Outrage, Glaciate I enjoyed playing White version, it was really a breath of fresh air in terms of looks, a darker story and features like reusable TMs. But I didn't finish the sequel so no official Kyurem meeting. Will dive back into it someday. The DNA Splicers are currently unavailable for Unbound. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox [volca] VOLCANION xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox We'll find it on an island on the south side of Cinder Volcano 2F. Be ready for a Dynamax Battle. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>DYNA MYTHICAL FIGHT<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= VOLCANION - The Steam Pokémon Level: 80 Type: Fire/Water Ability: Water Absorb Moves Known: Max Flare/Flare Blitz, Steam Pump, Hydro Pump, Haze A couple of major Trainers in Pokémon Mega Power had Volcanion in their teams but I didn't know it was such a special Pokémon at the time. Players could only obtain it via the Adventurers' Club passwords there. xoxoxoxoxoxoxox [melo] MELOETTA xoxoxoxoxoxoxox Get your dancing shoes on and head over to Polder Town at night, because the good news is we'll find Meloetta in the middle of town...but the bad news is in order to battle it we have to accept Meloetta's dance challenge. It involves pressing all the right keys in time as they move across the screen. This certainly brings back memories of the dancing mini games from GTA San Andreas haha. If you're having trouble clearing this just slow down your emulator, the challenge only lasts one round. Afterwards Meloetta acknowledges your skills and accepts your battle challenge. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>MYTHICAL BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= MELOETTA - The Melody Pokémon [Aria Forme] Level: 80 Type: Normal/Psychic Ability: Serene Grace Moves Known: Psychic, Hyper Voice, Role Play, Close Combat Not much to say about this one because I'm not even sure now if I encountered it during my White version playthrough. Unbound is the second game in which I've obtained it unofficially, the first game was Resolute. Relic Song is taught by the Special Moves Tutor at the Battle Frontier. xoxoxoxoxoxoxox [arceus] ARCEUS xoxoxoxoxoxoxox We should have enough Sea Shells and Sea Salt at this point so if you want a Shell Bell return to Davy's Shipyard and speak to the male Scientist. Turns out you can get more each day from the seafloor. The female Scientist is now able to convert Shards into copies of the Creation Plates. If you found some while Diving, great, otherwise bring those Shards we've been finding around the region to this woman. Here is a list of how many Shards you'll need for each Plate: DRACO PLATE - 6 Red Shards + 2 Yellow Shards DREAD PLATE - 2 Red Shards + 4 Blue Shards + 2 Green Shards EARTH PLATE - 4 Red Shards + 2 Blue Shards + 2 Yellow Shards FIST PLATE - 6 Red Shards + 2 Yellow Shards FLAME PLATE - 8 Red Shards ICICLE PLATE -4 Blue Shards + 4 Green Shards INSECT PLATE - 6 Green Shards + 2 Yellow Shards IRON PLATE - 2 Red Shards + 2 Blue Shards + 2 Green Shards + 2 Yellows MEADOW PLATE - 8 Green Shards MIND PLATE - 4 Red Shards + 3 Blue Shards + 1 Green Shard PIXIE PLATE - 6 Red Shards + 2 Blue Shards SKY PLATE - 6 Blue Shards + 2 Green Shards SPLASH PLATE - 8 Blue Shards SPOOKY PLATE - 2 Red Shards + 3 Blue Shards + 1 Green Shards + 2 Yellow Shards STONE PLATE - 4 Red Shards + 4 Yellow Shards TOXIC PLATE - 4 Red Shards + 4 Blue Shards ZAP PLATE - 8 Yellow Shards Once you've got all 17 Plates return to the Dream Lab. The Scientist by the bookshelves gives us 3 Dream Balls. Talk to the Scientist sitting near Hypno, he has finally created a way for someone to experience past memories. Thanks to the Plates his machine can take us back to the Judgement Zone. Once you're there move up to see Arceus and the Scientist as Marlon (our way back). Whenever you're ready, well, meet your Pokémon's maker. =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= >>MYTHICAL BATTLE<< =x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x=x= ARCEUS - The Alpha Pokémon Level: 80 Type: Normal Ability: Multitype Moves Known: Refresh, Future Sight, Recover, Hyper Beam My earliest memories of Arceus are from one of the previous hacks I played a while back, Pokémon Resolute. Had no idea about it during my Gen 4 adventure but after learning about it years later I like that it has a connection to the Ruins of Alph, which had been a fun little mystery for me for a while. **IMPORTANT NOTE** I messed up the RTC function of my game file during my playthrough, to the point where it is always a Sunday in-game now. So I'm unable to provide detailed information about Groudon and Kyogre. According to the Official Guide players should first meet Véga at the Magnolia Cafe on Thursday nights to get the Red Orb and Blue Orb then talk to him at his Gym. Bring the Red Orb to Cinder Volcano and the Blue Orb to the Vivill Warehouse. Lesson learned, don't be messing around with that RTC function yo (--") sorry ladies and gentlemen. End of Important Note. The Mythical, Legendary and Ultra Beast Pokémon that are currently unavailable are: Mewtwo Victini Genesect Zygarde [Complete Forme] Marshadow Poipole Naganadel Meltan Melmetal Perhaps they will play key roles in the next update? [s.s.m] S.S. MARINE ------------------- A whistle will blow 5 times to indicate that the ship has reached its destination. Like with any good ship, this one has Trainers occupying the passenger cabins that we can battle. One of those passengers just so happens to be quite the celebrity - Red! Items can't be used in those battles but if you defeat all of the Trainers before the ship completes its voyage you will receive a prize. The number of Trainers onboard changes from day to day. Be aware that talking to the Trainers after the battles and also talking to the non-Trainer passangers will cut into the voyage time, there's even one passenger who deliberately wastes more time with extended dialogue. As soon as we board, the first cabin we'll see ahead of us belongs to the man in charge Captain Oppenheimer. Each time we board the ship he'll give us a Memory for Silvally. In that same cabin, behind the potted plant on the right are Zygarde cells #80, the last ones to be found in this update of the game. Outside the cabin you'll see two Sailors, one on the left and one on the right. The right side Sailor will tell you how many Trainers occupy the cabins with a specific door colour. The left side Sailor gives a hint about the number of Trainers in specific locations (port side a.k.a the left side of the ship and starboard a.k.a the right side of the ship). Next up we return to Seaport City and head north to finally check out the Borrius Battle Frontier. [rtbf] BATTLE FRONTIER ====================== Places of Interest ------------------ - Battle Tower - Battle Sands - Battle Mine - Battle Circus We're going clockwise as we visit the stalls, starting with the first one on the left from the Gate path. The man running this one teaches Ultimate and Battle Combo moves in exchange for BP: [4 BP] [8 BP] Grass Pledge Frenzy Plant Fire Pledge Blast Burn Water Pledge Hydro Cannon The southwest stall has the Move Maniac's little sister, she teaches Egg Moves for 15 BP each. The western stall is run by a Move Deleter (from 6AM to 10:59AM), a Nature Changer (from midday to 5:59PM) who charges 50 BP per session and a Berry seller (from 7PM to 11:59PM) with the following Berries: [4 BP] [2 BP] Razz Berry Cornn Berry Pamtre Berry Bluk Berry Magost Berry Watmel Berry Nanab Berry Rabuta Berry Durin Berry Wepear Berry Nomel Berry Belue Berry Pinap Berry Spelon Berry The northwest stalls have are run by Move Tutors: [4 BP] Snore Bind Whirlpool Fire Spin Sand Tomb Covet Bug Bite [8 BP] Heal Bell Pin Missile Snatch Fake Tears Electroweb Icicle Spear Vacuum Wave Scary Face Low Kick Tail Slap Focus Energy Venom Drench Uproar Rock Blast Cosmic Power Thunder Fang Helping Hand Baton Pass Ice Fang Block Encore Fire Fang Worry Seed Screech [12 BP] Last Resort [4 BP] Confide [8 BP] Signal Beam Stored Power After You Iron Defense Bounce Breaking Swipe Synthesis Nasty Plot Heat Crash Hex Gravity Agility Heavy Slam Weather Ball Spikes Telekinesis Reversal Terrain Pulse Toxic Spikes Magnet Rise Electro Ball Spite Dragon Dance Role Play Gastro Acid Corrode Gas Psych Up Electric Terrain Grassy Terrain Misty Terrain Psychic Terrain Along the centre path we find the Daily Lottery Corner where you have a chance to win 100 BP if you can guess the correct number or if your guess falls within the following numbers: Within 50 (you win 50 BP) Within 100 (you win 20 BP) Within 500 (you win 10 BP) Within 1000 (you win 5 BP) Across that stall is the Bottle Cap Trader, she's there from 8AM to 7:59PM, who will raise IVs to 31: Bottle Cap (1 IV) Gold Bottle Cap (5 IVs) The same stall will also be run by the Hidden Power Changer from 9PM to 6:59AM, who can do the job for 15 BP. More Move Tutors on the northeast side: [8 BP] Fire Punch Air Slash Lash Out Wonder Room Ice Punch Cross Poison Pain Split Thunder Punch Mystical Fire Tailwind Iron Head Psycho Cut Trick Zen Headbutt Body Slam Magic Coat Drill Run Skitter Smack Coaching Razor Shell Jealous Burn Magic Room [12 BP] [16 BP] Aqua Tail Body Press Endeavor Icy Wind Expand Force Seed Bomb Misty Explode Blaze Kick Grassy Glide Darkest Lariat Rising Volt Phantom Force Laser Focus Power Gem Psychic Fangs [12 BP] Foul Play Knock Off Super Fang Aura Sphere Stomping Tantrum Leaf Blade Earth Power Muddy Water Dual Chop Dual Wingbeat Heat Wave Scorch Sands Hyper Voice [16 BP] Flip Turn Crunch Leaf Storm Scale Shot High Horsepower Megahorn Liquidation Play Rough Power Whip Outrage Triple Axel Solar Blade Sky Attack Brave Bird Steel Roller Throat Chop Close Combat Meteor Beam Gunk Shot Flare Blitz Poltergeist Superpower Hurricane Bug Buzz Hydro Pump The western stall is run by the Ball Changer (from 3AM to 10:59AM) who charges 10 BP per switch and then the EV Trainer (from midday to 1:59AM), you'll need 50 BP for his services. The southeastern stall has the Special Moves Tutor who offers his services for free with these Moves: Volt Tackle Dragon Ascent Secret Sword Relic Song Steel Beam And finally the stall next door is for Grandma Wilma, she teaches Draco Meteor to your high Friendship Dragon-type Pokémon. We're told that there is a shady character who is usually seen skulking around near the Battle Tower. He appears between midnight and 3:59AM and offers one of the following services per day (he takes more BP than the actual amount if you have, see the numbers in brackets): Reset EVs - 20 [25] BP Max IVs - 50 [70] BP Max Chosen EV - 35 [45] BP Change Gender - 10 [15] BP Gigantamax - 200 [245] BP Force Shiny (Always Available) - 500 [600] BP IV Reducer - (according to a friend Nicholas who contacted me) Let's see them facilities next. -bfbc- BATTLE CIRCUS - Fun for all ages! -------------------- The Clown we find here can change Abilities. 100 BP for regular Abilities and 200 for Hidden Abilities. The Battle Circus offers Single, Double and Multi-Battle challenges which go on until you defeat the Circus Ringmaster or choose to rest. Before each battle the Ringmaster will activate a random effect which cannot be removed or overridden during the battle. The higher your streak becomes, the more intense the effects may become...and they can stack up too (e.g. battles in which all Pokémon are confused or can't be switched out or the negative emotions gimmick from Véga's Gym or the "Sea of Fire" effect which damages non-Fire-types each turn etc). If you decide you want to pause the challenge and continue later, your progress will be recorded until you come back to carry on. You will be disqualified if you leave the challenges without saving. Also note that you can't interrupt the challenges in the Multi Battle format. Just behind the Battle Circus is the Battle Sands area. -bfbs- BATTLE SANDS - Let others use your Pokémon! ------------------- Single and Double Battles take place here. 2 Pokémon are entered in the Single Battles and 3 for Double Battles. Not any Pokémon though, because when you make your first selection some will then become unavailable for choosing. The Pokémon will not be used by us but by someone else who will fight for us. Whatever BP that Trainer has won up to the point when you choose to retire will be yours. Each Pokémon in the battle will receive a random stat boost at the start. xD I like how the "volunteers" are characters we know that the organiser just spots and tells them that they've been chosen. The only negative I have about the Battle Sands is about the AI of the volunteer Trainers, it doesn't fully adapt to the opponent's Pokémon when it comes to moves used. So it's almost like flipping a coin and hoping they use a decent move each time. -bfbm- BATTLE MINE - Reach new depths! ------------------ Special challenges happen here, they go on until you defeat the Mine Excavator or choose to rest. Each level in the mine is occupied by a Trainer and the further down you go settings like battle type, level, party size etc will be affected. The other settings are determined by the Battle Format you choose. Some Trainers may drop items after being defeated that you can collect. Progress will be recorded if you want to halt the challenge until next time. -bfbt- BATTLE TOWER - Never Lose! Keep Winning! ------------------- On the western side is a bookshelf containing guides on Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, Dynamax and Effectiveness while the shops are on the eastern side. Shop #1 is on top, offering stat boosters and evolutionary items: [2 BP] [16 BP] [32 BP] [48 BP] HP Up Macho Brace King's Rock Protector Razor Claw Protein Power Weight Deep Sea Tooth Electirizer Razor Fang Iron Power Bracer Deep Sea Scale Magmarizer Rare Candy Calcium Power Belt Dragon Scale Reaper Cloth Zinc Power Lens Metal Coat Whipped Dream Carbos Power Band Prism Scale Sachet Power Anklet Up-Grade Oval Stone Dubious Disc [100 BP] Ability Capsule 100 BP Dream Mist 200 BP Max Powder 250 BP Shop #2 is in the middle, offering in-battle Hold Items: [4 BP] [16 BP] [24 BP] [32 BP] Heart Scale Toxic Orb White Herb Focus Sash Flame Orb Mental Herb Air Balloon Iron Ball Power Herb Red Card Ring Target Terrain Extender Eject Button Absorb Bulb Room Service Eject Pack Luminous Moss Weakness Policy Cell Battery Blunder Policy Snowball Muscle Band Adrenaline Orb Focus Band Throat Spray Wise Glasses Binding Band Grip Claw Bright Powder Utility Parasol [48 BP] [50 BP] [200 BP] Choice Band Bottle Cap Gold Bottle Cap Choice Specs Wishing Piece Choice Scarf Black Sludge Leftovers Life Orb Scope Lens Wide Lens Zoom Lens Eviolite Rocky Helmet Assault Vest Safety Goggles Protective Pads Heavy-Duty Boots Shop #3 has TMs: [24 BP] [32 BP] [48 BP] TM110 Drain Kiss TM82 Sleep Talk TM103 Sludge Wave TM115 Quash TM90 Substitute TM116 Trick Room The guide in the pink outfit leads to the Multi Battle Rooms, for Single and Double Battle info speak to the guide in green. The Nurse on the right says the feature there isn't available at the moment. The Battle Tower challenges go on until you defeat the Tower Tycoon or choose to rest. You can enter 3 or 6 Pokémon in the Single Battles format and 4 or 6 Pokémon in the Double Battle format. There are many Battle Rooms here, each occupied by a Trainer. That's all for now ladies and gentlemen, our Unbound adventure has reached the part where a giant To Be Continued sign appears and we'll carry on in the next update whenever that comes out. [zxz] FINAL SECTION AND OTHER RAMBLINGS ======================================= So, how was Pokémon Unbound for you? Good? Bad? Somewhere in the middle? For me it is one of the most technically sound games that I have played in a while. Pokémon Adventure Red Chapter and Pokémon Clover are the closest for second and third place but the gap between those two and Unbound, in terms of features at least, is pretty wide. ++Positives++ - Unlimited Bag/Cube capacity. - Exp. Share being an Options feature that can be turned on and off. - Having more than 1 SELECT Registered Key Item. - Healing/Respawn point Chansey and Storage Box Porygon being out in the field. - ItemFinder/Dowsing Machine that has a wider range of visual cues to help players locate hidden items, and doesn't require players to keep triggering the DM in order to check around them for those items like the traditional ItemFinder. - The ADM and how it performs the same functions as HMs. - Mission-based system that helps players keep track of what to do next. - Rich story and well-designed region, with plenty for players to occupy themselves with on a daily basis even after they're done with the main activities. - Detailed guides. -Negatives- - If you're not a fan of puzzles, this game might annoy you every now and again haha because there are puzzles galore! Unless I'm playing a straight up puzzle game I like having a fair balance between action and puzzle activity. Unbound had some balance from what I experienced, but some of those puzzles though...yeesh xD. - The Guard Spec. didn't work, I'm not sure if that had to do with the Difficulty level I had chosen (I played under Difficult). What was up with that? - Some lame Missions: for all the cool, fun and interesting Missions that are in the game there were some lousy ones too especially in the post-game section. Even if doing all the Missions is not mandatory, it would've been great if they were all worthwhile. After playing Unbound it's clear that I'm not going to see other ROMhacks the same way now because they won't measure up, especially older games, and I'm a little worried about that because there are many games that I still want to play/replay for fun or for walkthrough work. Any new and aspiring ROMhackers and fan-game makers out there should give Unbound a try and maybe find features that they can include in their own games, perhaps make some of these features a standard for any modern game e.g. unlimited Bag space, an improved ItemFinder, more SELECT Reg. Key Items, Key Items which can function like HMs etc. Any feedback you have about Unbound please send it to Skeli and his team, they really did an amazing job and all the best to them for whatever they have planned for this project going forward. If you have any feedback for this walkthrough you can send that via email to allenchngnzh22@gmail.com or send me a message on Reddit (search for user Allen_Cee07) or find me as Allen Ceedos at the Pokémon Community forums site.

In this series I play house tunes from my collection which I've had since my high school days. Mainly South African house music but there's room for international jams too. Old and new. If you're a fellow fan who loves to move and groove or just bop your head in time with the beats, I hope you'll check out this series :) House of Sounds Bit Chute Playlist: https://www.bitchute.com/playlist/xyqSzBptBCv1/ House of Sounds Vault Bit Chute Playlist: https://www.bitchute.com/playlist/CPuIC2POFT9l/ Soundcloud Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/allen-chingonzoh/sets/house-of-sounds PokeCommunity Thread: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=441298 COUNTING ELECTRIC SHEEP: The second music set series, started just after House of Sounds. This one features anime and video game music. Opening themes, ending themes, songs from official soundtracks etc. If you like games, anime and manga as much as I do then this might be the series for you.

This one will cater more to those of my generation (people born in the mid 1980s up to the mid 1990s), it features themes from classic cartoons that were a highlight of our much younger days. I've also thrown in parody commercials from the Grand Theft Auto games and shows like Sheep in the Big City. I recommend listening to each set without looking at the tracklist until the end :) test yourself and find out how many themes you can still recognise (and maybe still sing along to!)

I shared the idea around to see if anyone would be interested in teaming up with me to create the game. Months went by, there were people who liked the idea but I didn't hear from anyone who actually wanted to work with me. So I decided to spin out a story from the idea and post it chapter by chapter in the FanFiction section at the PokeCommunity site. That version of the story is a rework of the original form, which looks one of my walkthroughs :) I'll put a link to that original below if you're interested in seeing it but I'll encourage you to follow the reworked version because I'll be changing stuff there. An audio version of JoJ is also available now, I started putting it out a few months ago as a way for people who are new to the story to catch up and for returning fans to get a cool refresh and pick from where they left off. Apologies in advance for the quality, I'm currently recording each chapter on my not-so-smartphone but the audio version will include a variety of themes from the games (official games and any cool soundtracks from hacks and fan-made games) to add some colour to the story so I think you'll enjoy that.
