So, this has been left in the lurch long enough. :/


But my goal of reading 100 books this year is going well so far? Even if a lot of them right now are kid's books.

Oh. Wow. It seems that Team Jerkass split into two groups? N just wants to help pokemon! And they’re keeping the creepy white crusader outfits. >>

And this is discovered by listening to the guy in black giving the one in white a very cliché villainy speech. “Join usssss. The people who mock you now will grovel at your feet!” Um. Yeah, I was there 2 years ago and I don’t recall much groveling. :p

And one of the former Sages is here. Aaand yeah. They’re ‘taking care of’ the stolen pokemon. Which had better include trying to find the trainers they were taken from. >:/

Hugh’s Not Happy. He’s going to go do moar training!

And Rood gives me a Zorua. N’s Zorua. Awesome! :D

Oooh, apparently just the ones whose trainers they couldn’t find. That’s better. <3

Oh N. He was abandoned because he was freaking people out with his psychic abilities and then Ghetsis got him. And the girls were orphans too, and he just kidnapped everyone and fucked up everybody. >:(

***

Meanwhile, Driftveil has really grown - loads of hotels for the Pokemon World Tournament! All green and glassy and modern.

Claaaaay. Still the best Gym Leader! “If all you do is pursue what you think is right, you might end up rejecting all thoughts and opinions other than your own. That’s mighty dangerous.”

Ooooi. Hugh’s just foaming at the mouth to go join the Tournament and toughen up. Screw you, man, my team needs a Pokemon Center trip. D:

And then a salon trip for hurt feelings from all the fainting. :(

Wow Join Avenue is addictive. I just want to hang out in my virtual mall and shop forever. I have a pretty blue ceiling I picked it myself! :D

XD

***

Pokemon World Tournament! In the fancypants building Clay had built for it. Which he is very proud of!

Also he summoned Cheren to come compete in the tournament. Just because he, as a senior Gym Leader, can apparently do this thing. :p

Well, no, he wants Cheren to show us the meaning of Pokemon battles. Which I’m pretty sure is for me and my pokemons to kick the other person’s butt and have fun doing it. >:)

Well. We have a roaring audience. This is all very dramatic!

Hugh: Clay sure likes things loud and flashy, doesn’t he? Well, whatever.... It’s time to go all out! XD

Awww. Hugh says my pokemons look like they’re having fun battling. Darn right they are! :D

And now up against Cheren, whoo. Needs to be a little less pompous. Yup. >>

Colress is a he? Huh. Here I was thinking that was a girl the whole time. <<

See, the problem with a team of Steel and Psychic is all you really need is a nicely leveled Krokorok to take it out. Quagmire for the win! \o/

XD And of course it’s also a money-making scheme on Clay’s part, because he is a v.v. serious businessman! eeeeeee

Chasing down a Team Jerkass guy! Onto a ship! Which is oddly cold? ..aaaand we’re kind of outnumbered. :|a

Victory! Of course. *smugs*

Dammit, another Sage. This one still evil. You’re going to take over the world with what dragon, now? N split with one and the player with another...

***

So, after a Relic Passage detour that nets me a Volcarona, it's on to Route 6.

Cheren! Hi again, how are you - dragging me to the weather research place, I see. It's grown a lot in two years...

Erm. Sudden temperature drop in Lacunosa? Where Kyurem is? Or probably was. As well as Castelia, and in Driftveil. Well. Hugh said it was cold on that ship.

Darnit, people, why do we keep messing with the dragons? >:/

***

Chargestone Cave! Where we net all our shiny electrics and steels, and overhear someone talking about this being their favorite place. I think Kayura just very nearly met N! Come back here you have some explaining to do, buddy!

Meanwhile, Professor Juniper is still a spaz, which runs in the family. But she’s a spaz who gave me a Master Ball, so who cares! Who. Cares.

***

Skyla’s Gym has improved! It’s a giant windtunnel maze where you have to take shelter from the gusts. I am pleasantly reminded of Chrono Trigger! :D

Battle wasn’t that hard, either, between my lovely lampost the Ampharos and Toshiotada the Emboar. Mwahaha! >:D

***

Okay. I must begrudgingly award Team Jerkass about 1000 cool points for the invention of an actual freaking airship. :D !!!

With an ice cannon! :D !!!

Which they have used to freeze Opelucid City. D:<

And of course they’re here to steal a rare and presumably valuable/powerful/shiny artifact. Called DNA splicers.

...whuuut. Was there a pokemon golden age where they had higher tech? Because these things are supposed to be ancient. Though it would explain pokeballs.

ooooh. That’s right, dragon types are weak against ice. And Drayden’s just charged off to fight in this?! :(

Quoth Zinzolin: “The fact that I’m shivering means I’m truly alive!” No, that means you’re cold, idiot. Also clearly a masochist. Your fashion sense has definitely been killed by that outfit, though.

Ummmm. So their plan is to ice over the Unova region? This is the stupidest thing since Team Flood and Team Drought in Gen. III.

Aw man, sucker-punched. Zinzolin was just a distraction, and now we’ve lost the splicers. (Which look like a set gemstone of some kind. Sciency! >> ) Shadow Triad distracts us with a battle, and splits.

So now we get to this undersea tunnel! Sweet! :D

Ooooh, pretty. Like something in an aquarium, except instead of tiny tanks the pokemon are roaming freeee! \o/ Also, hilariously, one of my fellow tourists suggests the tunnel is really for the pokemon to sight-see us. Which it might be! ;)

Wow. I like the new gym leader, he’s very laid back but kickass. Also I want to steal his gym, it is the prettiest! You move around via solving floating lilypad puzzle. <3

Actually, let’s just all move to Himulai. Gorgeous. Even though I hate heat and it screams tropical paradise. ...although I’m not sure it’s in the right place to be tropical. Mediterranean, maybe? idk!

Oi. Colress again. Creepy dude. Explaining why Terrakion is here, and asking if I mean to confront Team Jerkass. Well, duh.

uuuuh. No. No, I don’t want your machine, Colress. D:

Huh. It doesn’t do anything - that’s actually even more creepy, since it kind of screams plot device.

Aaaand I’ve got Team Jerkass in a cave, talking about how what’s happening on Route 21 is more important than here. I seem to be in the wrong place. >>

***

Yeah, I had to teach something Surf before I could reach the right one. Now exploring twisty sea-bound Route 21...

Hello, cave on an island! Things are always happening in these. oooo, and a doctor outside it. This is bound to be the place. And now I’m too sleepy to focus, so. Yeah. Off to bed!
