Hello, I'm Allen and welcome to my walkthrough of Pokemon Mega Power Beta 5.59. This is my 3rd walkthrough, having done some for the following games:
Pokemon Adventure Red Chapter Beta 14.5
Pokemon Flora Sky (Complement Dex Version)
Here's hoping we are in for a great time with this one - let's begin.

The game starts with our character, addressed as "Professor", being welcomed to Team Delta (?!) by a man named Kasper who is part of a group called the Golden Trio. He tells us that we agreed to work with Team Delta and they will pay us for our project. This is happening in the "Professor intro" where we give our name and pick the gender of our character. Afterwards Kasper says there is a lab that has been prepared for us in a place called Plantain Path. Fade to black.

We are now in the lab. Our character says they are glad to have made it, though they could've done it in another way. Someone comes to speak to us, a woman named Aide Tyra. She is our assistant and can't believe that we are working with Team Delta. We assure her that we know what we are doing, we need the money for the project. Tyra isn't sure about this plan but she'll stay by our side. There's a problem that she wants to bring to our attention - in the next room she shows a girl that was caught sneaking into the lab last night. We try to get some answers from the girl, she eventually tells us that she is here to destroy things since this is a lab linked to Team Delta. Tyra thinks it would be best if we leave this girl alone for now and we stick to working on the project. Sounds like a good idea to us. 

Tyra leaves and we can move around now. The "scientist" looking man in this room is a guard. Can't enter the room to the north yet. Talking to the girl again we'll be told off by her so let's leave this room. Back in the room where we started, Tyra tells us that she got a phone call from Kasper, he wants to find out how the project is coming along. He is waiting in a place called Fescue City. We're then given THE GOODS :D first one is the PokeDex - Tyra tells us that it is the Ivara region PokeDex, which we developed. Next, we get to pick our Starter Pokemon. Here are the choices:

Minccino, Pansear, Pansage, Panpour and Espurr.

Hmm. I like the idea of having more Starters to pick from :) choose your partner. Tyra lets us know that Fescue City is south from here. Then we are ready to go. Go through the doorway on the right. We'll be in a corridor that heads north and south. The 2 people we find here are Team Delta grunts, happy to be working with us. In the north room we find beds where we can rest. One of the grunts gives us PokeBalls and another gives us a Potion. Leave and go all the way south to exit this place.

PLANTAIN CAVE
-------------

Continue south, pick up that Great Ball you'll see on the ground. Beyond the exit is Plantain Path.

PLANTAIN PATH
-------------

Pokemon Found
.............
Purrloin, Yungoos, Scatterbug, Bunnelby, Starly, Buneary (rare)

**NOTE: All the Yungoos I encountered have the Ability "Hustle", which trades accuracy for power. Meaning? Its attacks are stronger but they will miss their target more often :/ if this doesn't bother you, no problem, catch one. 

This area extends north and south. We can only explore the north part once we have the Cut HM so make a note. Carry on south. 

Trainers Found
..............

Youngster Calvin (Lv4 Bunnelby) Prize: P320

Lass Tiana (Lv4 Starly, Lv2 Furfou) Prize: P160

Cooltrainer Leonel (Lv2 Absol) Prize: P160

There will be a way going to the west, it is called Smartweed Path. Let's see what is here.

SMARTWEED PATH
--------------

We'll find a sign indicating that further west is a place called Crowfoot Village. 

Pokemon Found
.............
Combee, Buneary, Scatterbug, Litleo, Purrloin, Ralts, Lotad 

Sadly we can't go on to visit, because via the south path we'll need HMs for Cut and Surf...and via the north path our character will prevent us from progressing. Back to Plantain Path and onwards to Fescue City.

[001] FESCUE CITY - "Where Travelers Feel Like Home."
=================

Places of Interest
..................
PokeCenter x PokeMart
Gym

A pretty swanky looking place, maybe because of the Persian statues we'll find around. It is the signature Pokemon of this city and one of the people outside tells us that the Gym Leader has one. Let's explore:

In the PokeCenter x PokeMart, speak to a couple of the people to find out about a hero Trainer who battled against an evil group called Dark Workers 6 years ago in this region. They were arrested in another region named Tyron. Interesting.

In the northwest apartment building speak to the old man on the top floor to receive a Chesto Berry. Next door is a man who will trade his Bounsweet for a Ralts. In another house someone will tell us about a place called Mist Forest that "connects the future and past". Noted. In another house there's an old woman who tells us about a legendary group of people known as the Four Hermits who rebuilt this region 3000 years ago...but nobody knows where they came from. 

By the Gym, we'll find that the entrance is blocked :/ a common feature in fan games haha there's a Blackbelt guy who'll tell us that the Gym is usually closed because the Gym Leader is always away - spending time at the Game Corner in a place called Spirulina City. Come on, Gym Leader-san /==./

South from the Gym are 2 mysterious men standing by a Persian statue. The one in black is Kasper and the other one just so happens to be Klaus the Gym Leader! Thank goodness, he's here! *phew* they are talking about Team Delta and the scientist who has been recruited by them - us. Klaus says he's gambler and he has his own way of gaining money unlike how Kasper and Team Delta do things. Then off Klaus goes to gamble at the Game Corner. Dude, you're the Gym Leader! Gamble later! Kasper sees us. He's a rich guy who is glad to be working with us and he is kind enough to give us P1000, sweet. He has to leave, Team Delta is having a meeting somewhere. 

Afterwards, return to the lab and speak to Tyra. She learns about the money we received and gives us another Key Item that we forgot to get from her - the PokeNav. There are other important people that are linked to the project so she registered their numbers in the PokeNav. The little gadget goes off, someone named Armando calls. Another aide. He tells us that they are searching for special stones for the project and they need our help. Armando and company are in a cave of a place called Mt. Burvine. It is located west of Crowfoot Village. Suddenly, he starts to panic...something has happened to them. We go off to investigate!

Back to Smartweed Path and continuing west along the upper way.

There's an old woman among the people outside who will give us a Pokemon Egg (a Riolu hatches from it). 

We find out a little bit more about the Four Hermits from the young man in the first house. These 4 helped people discover another region called Lande.

Someone tells us about a famous singer from the Tyron region named Aisha. In the same house, we learn that there is a monster in Mt. Burvine and the scientists who were seen going into it have yet to return. An old man suspects that the monster could be an Abomasnow. 

We're told that there's a city at the top of Mt. Burvine.

We'll find some Nevermeltice on the ground. Eventually we'll get to the scientists and the Abomasnow. The monster attacks....??

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Ninja ??? (Lv14 Abomasnow) Prize: P280

After the battle, Abomasnow disappears but we are confronted by a new character in the form of a Ninja. No words from them, they just vanish like a proper ninja :) Armando is glad to see us, saying that Abomasnow attacked the scientists when they got some crystals. Tyra arrives to check on us. Now that we got materials for the project, we have to go back to the lab. See you there...because you gotta go all the way back.

At the lab, Tyra informs us that they have started absorbing power from the crystals. The process should be done soon-- there's a sudden quake that shakes the building. We tell Tyra that we know what's going on and we should go to the lab (another area of the lab I guess). When we get there, we tell Tyra that Mewtwo is trying to escape (?!). Looks like we'll have to battle it to calm it down.

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Scientist Tyra (Lv10 Mewtwo) Prize: P800

Mewtwo chills out, for now we need it around until our work is completed. 

Seems we're done at the lab for now. Leave and return to Fescue City so we can see what is further south. 

**NOTE: Now that we have the PokeNav, there are Trainers we've battled before that we can speak to again to register them. Around this area there's Youngster Calvin.

Back in Fescue City, we find another new character. He's annoyed because someone else, female, is late. He sees us and asks us if it's right to be late. How does he want to cool off? Yup, by battling us. 

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Pokemon Trainer ??? (Lv14 Drilbur, Lv11 Charizard X?!) Prize: P660

This guy, with his sword, have calmed down. He decides to go and find the female character he has been waiting for. After that, we get a call from Armando. Good news, they have managed to extract pure "Mega Power" from the crystal (it seemed like they had crystals, but I guess they got one). Gotta go back to the lab. 

Speak to Tyra. Everything is ready, she'll meet us in the other area. Before going there, we talk to the prisoner girl. Time to release her. We give her Pokemon back, she still won't let us carry on with our work. Battle time. 

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Pokemon Trainer ??? (Lv14 Skorupi, Lv15 Treecko, Riolu) Prize: P900

After the fight, she reveals that she knows more about this project than we thought she did. Even with the potential of Team Delta using this project to do evil, we tell the girl that we don't care...we are a scientist. The girl tries to make us see reason but we won't. Her name is Cybil. Another Rival we'll have to worry about haha. When she leaves, we have a moment to think about our decision and this business with Team Delta. Hopefully we make the right decision. 

DELTA LAB
---------

The scientists are ready for the final phase of the project. When we approach Mewtwo, we have another moment to think about what we are about to do. Maybe Cybil was right. Tyra joins us, asking why we haven't gone forward with the final stage. We tell her that we've had a change of heart, this project will just land in the hands of Team Delta if it is completed...so we decide to stop it. But there are some people who aren't happy about this - 3 scientists confront us. Armando is one of them, another is named Cal who can't believe this. The 3rd is named Ed. The trio won't understand, they want the project to be completed, even if it means doing that without us.  

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Scientist Armando (Lv12 Houndour, Lv14 Golett) Prize: P1120

We've changed our mind, but not Armando. He leaves with Cal and Ed. Now we have to leave as well, with Mewtwo and Tyra, before Team Delta finds out about the project. As we are about to free Mewtwo, here comes Kasper and his crew of Team Delta grunts. He advises us not to release Mewtwo. Turns out he knew we would do this so he got Armando, Cal and Ed on his side. Even after telling us that we were being spied on, Kasper maintains that he is a good guy-- Mewtwo breaks free and turns into Mewtwo X, now out of control. Everything goes dark. Mewtwo X goes on to destroy the lab and next thing you know we wake up in bed, in someone's room.

We're alive. But not knowing what time it is, we'll have to take a look at the clock on the wall. After setting the time, we go downstairs to hopefully get some answers. We find an old man and a younger woman, who tells us that we were found in Cypress Forest and we were badly hurt. We ask about Tyra, if she was also found by these people. No real answer. Instead we're told who these people are - the old man is Professor Ivan and the woman is Professor Amala, famous in this region. Prof. Ivan breaks the news about Tyra, she wasn't found with us. We tell them our story of what has happened to us. Prof. Ivan thinks we made the right decision. He reveals that he is in this region because a detective named Trevor asked him to investigate Team Delta's secret research and our story has helped in his investigation. It means there's still time to plan a counter move. Prof. Ivan leaves to update Trevor, while Prof. Amala agrees to let us stay here. She asks us if we would like to go with her to her lab. If you choose No, she'll just ask the question again. 

Outside the house, she and her Skarmory are ready to leave for Spirulina City where her lab is located. She has the HM for Fly and the Gym Badge to use it. Her dream was to become the Champion, so she has all 8 Badges. 

We get to Spirulina City. She says she'll wait for us in her office. Unfortunately we can't explore the city yet, so go into the building.

PROFESSOR AMALA'S LAB
---------------------

Make your way up to the next floor to find the woman. She researches Pokemon here and just after asking us if we would like to work with her, one of the assistants interrupts - an email has arrived the Ivara League. They are inviting Prof. Amara to a meeting. She doesn't want to attend it though, being so busy here, but the assistant says this is the 3rd time they have invited her. Rather than go, she figures we should go instead (of course haha). Then she tells us that we need 8 Gym Badges first /==./ I thought we were just going for a meeting? In exchange she says we can use her lab. We're told that there is a Gym here, the type used there is Rock-type. After this, we are free to exit and look around the city.

I'm in the mood to bust through that Game Corner and drag that Fescue City Gym Leader Klaus out of there...but before that, let's have a look around this mighty metropolis.

The 2 ways to leave town are either by going north or going west. In the north gate, the woman we find there tells us that beyond this is Primrose Path, but we need the Buds Badge (unfortunately we will not be getting it here :/ ) and HM04 (Strength) to go further. We also find out that this isn't the only way to reach another place called Hula Town. It is possible to explore the small area beyond this gate and find Pokemon.

(North Area of Spirulina City)

Pokemon Found
.............
Shroomish, Pidgey, Morelull, Fletchling, Caterpie, Pikachu, Combee

The item in the right side corner is an Ultra Ball. According to the sign we find here, Fluorescent Jungle is further north and Hula Town is to the east. You'll see the boulder blocking the path north. Back to Spirulina City.

Going west, you'll find 2 Fishermen that are up for a battle:

Fisherman Ned (Lv14 Goldeen, Lv15 Tentacool) Prize: P1200

The next Fisherman will give us an Old Rod. 

Fisherman Elliot (Lv17 Magikarp, Lv14 Clauncher, Tentacool) 
Prize: P1120 [PokeNav Reg.]
 
The item just past Elliot is a Protein. Can't continue west until we get the Gym Badge.

Pokemon Found
.............
(Old Rod) Magikarp

One lady tells us about a region called Ransei, where people and Pokemon can communicate through a special ability called "link". She also battled a warlord leader from there named Ujiyasu, a powerful Trainer. 

In one of the apartment buildings there is someone who will give us his Level 5 Bulbasaur now that he is no longer a Pokemon Breeder, so make some room in your party. In another building we'll receive a Level 5 Gible. Generous :)

In a corner just northwest from the Gym, you'll find a Rare Candy. Southwest from the Gym you'll find Protein. 

To the south is where we find the S.S. Arrow, we'll return when we have a Ticket. 

BATTLE ROOM SPIRULINA SITE
--------------------------

This is a place where you earn EXP Points and Special Def. EVs after battling the Trainers here. If you have P900 to spare, enjoy :) I'll list down which Trainers appeared when I gave this a try:

Pokemon Trainer Josephin (Lv13 Goomy, Lv14 Floette) Prize: P1120

Pokemon Trainer Antoin (Lv13 Spoink, Lv15 Tentacool) Prize: P1200

Then the leader of this Battle Room faced me next. 

Pokemon Trainer Caramelo (Lv13 Duskull, Lv14 Golett, Umbreon)
Prize: P1120

I got a Guard Spec. as a reward. 

Let's check out the Game Corner.

SPIRULINA CITY GAME CORNER
--------------------------

Sure enough there is Gym Leader Klaus, gambling away. Can't even speak to him while he's busy with his game /==./

Speak to the lady in green, standing near the 3 plants, to get a Coin Case. The woman on the right side of the room will give you a PokeDoll. Here are the prizes that you trade for with the Coins:

P1000 for 50 Coins
P10000 for 500 Coins

Treecko Doll 1000 Coins
Torchic Doll 1000 Coins
Mudkip Doll 1000 Coins

TM29 (Psychic) 3500 Coins

Now we can tackle that Gym. 

SPIRULINA CITY GYM

Leader: Joel - "The Strong Man! The Tough Man!"

Not a complicated Gym to get through.

Youngster Shinobu (Lv12 Geodude, Trapinch, Lv14 Larvitar) Prize: P1120

Leader Joel (Lv15 Golett, Lv17 Onix, Barbaracle) 
Prize: P1360 + Basalt Badge + Use of HM05 (Flash) outside of battles +
TM39 (Rock Tomb) [PokeNav Reg.]

As we're leaving the Gym we get a call from Prof. Amala. She found out from Joel that we got the Badge and wants to tell us where the next Gym is located - back in Fescue City. We're concerned about how Klaus will react to meeting us...but we need to collect all the Badges, so we have to see him. SPOILER: he's not in the Game Corner anymore. Leave town from the west.

The sign we find after the Fishermen says this is Enhalus Path. Further west is Crassipes Path.

ENHALUS PATH
------------

**NOTE: The PokeNav suddenly goes off like a call is coming in, but it is only to register Klaus' number. Technology :)

Pokemon Found

Pidgey, Skitty, Spritzee

Gentleman Harold (Lv14 Bulbasaur, Lv15 Spheal) Prize: P1200

There is an area to the south from Harold, but we'll need HM Cut to explore it. We are now along Crassipes Path.

CRASSIPES PATH
--------------

Pokemon Found
.............
(Old Rod) Magikarp
Salandit, Pidgey, Skitty, Spritzee, Fletchling

We meet up with Cybil in the grass north of the water. She is still aiming to get stronger and is about to battle us when she finds out that we are no longer attached to Team Delta. But that won't stop the battle from happening, damn.

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Pokemon Trainer Cybil Prize: P1140
(Lv16 Fletchinde, Lv19 Lucario, Lv18 Grovyle, Lv17 Skorupi)

NOW she believes us haha. She finds out about Mewtwo escaping too and says it's our fault /==./ really? Well, she's in full rival mode now and after declaring that she'll get all the Gym Badges and save the region, Cybil leaves. I'll give her credit for not being a Blue/Gary 2.0 copy/paste type of rival. Hopefully her character gets better as the story goes on and she's not just going to pop up from nowhere for pointless battles. 

Trainers Found
..............
PokeFan Shayla (Lv13 Purrloin, Lv14 Eevee, Lv15 Spritzee) Prize: P1120

Turns out that the area south from Harold can be reached, so the little tree is just there to block a shortcut. 

Rich Boy Larry (Lv14 Pansear, Panpour, Pansage) Prize: P1120

Lass Carol (Lv15 Skitty, Lv16 Vivilion) Prize: P1280

Southwest from Carol is a Nugget. Go southeast after her, because north leads to a deadend (unless you have HM Cut). 

Scientist Trent Prize: P1280 [PokeNav Reg.]
(Lv14 Helioptile, Pikachu, Lv16 Magnemite) 

Close by is Sorrel Village, where we woke up after the lab was destroyed.

The Diving Treasure Hunter is looking for Shards, so if you find any and want to trade them with him, remember this place. 

At the Battle Room Sorrel Site, we find the leader of this place Aurelia. She runs this on her own because she has no assistants. Training with her raises your Pokemon's HP. You got P900?

Pokemon Trainer Aurelia Prize: P1200
(Lv13 Spheal, Marill, Lv14 Audino, Lv15 Kangaskhan)

She has no rewards to give, so we leave. 

At the PokeCenter, speak to the guy on the left to receive a Level 5 Squirtle. He got it as a birthday gift but his parent said he couldn't keep it :/ 

There's nothing else to be done here. When you're ready, leave via the west path. This is Fatsia Path. Cypress Forest is further west.

Youngster Billy (Lv15 Buneary, Lv16 Buneary) Prize: P1280

Lady Cindy (Lv16 Squirtle, Pikachu) Prize: P1280 [PokeNav Reg.]

Just north from Cindy is the entrance into Cypress Forest. In the grass to the left of the entrance is a PP Up. Let's see what all the fuss is about in this forest.

CYPRESS FOREST
--------------

The sign we see says that Fescue City is to the north. 

Pokemon Found
.............
Gastly, Shroomish, Scatterbug, Purrloin, Skorupi, Combee, Weedle, Nincada

Trainers Found
..............
PokeRanger James (Lv16 Dewpider, Combusken) Prize: P1280 [PokeNav Reg]

The item to the right from James is a Parlyz Heal. Follow the path north, east and south to reach the other side of the pond. The item we find here by the water is an X Attack. Only a couple steps after getting that, we are met by that ninja again. From nowhere, he throws something at us - HM01 (Cut)! He then disappears. We don't understand what's going on, nor do we know who this "master" is that the ninja mentioned. Well, the good news is we got our first HM...but the Badge we have right now "unlocks" another HM /==./ why?? Wouldn't it have made more sense that Joel's Badge would let us use this HM which we were going to get soon after? Or maybe we could've gotten HM Flash right now instead? 

Anyway, make sure you got Pokemon that can learn Cut. Continue along the path as it goes east then north. 

Hex Maniac Osanna Prize: P1280
(Lv13 Golett, Lv16 Gastly, Lv14 Nincada, Purrloin)

Psychic Cedric (Lv17 Kadabra) Prize: P1360

Black Belt Douglas (Lv16 Riolu, Lv17 Timburr) Prize: P1360

We'll receive a Miracle Seed from the little girl just past Douglas. The exit is below the sign post.

In this new area, you'll find an X Accuracy south of those Twins you'll see. Going down those ledges will lead back to the road near the Cypress Forest entrance so be careful.  

Twins Gina & Mia (Lv16 Combee & Spritzee) Prize: P512

Pokemon Found
.............
Cutiefly, Purrloin, Buneary, Scatterbug

Follow the path north and west. 

PokeRanger Nora (Lv16 Purrloin, Corphish, Lv17 Pancham) Prize: P1360

North of the Youngster running back and forth is the entrance into Fescue City. If you carry on west and south into the small corner area, where you see a couple of Berry plants, you'll find a Potion in the grass. 

We're back in Fescue City. The Gym door isn't blocked any more, let's head over there now.

FESCUE CITY GYM
---------------

Leader: Klaus - "The Man of Gold!"

In this gym tiled in gold, Trainers will ask us questions and we give the correct answers to advance. We can get answer tickets from the Persian statues that are in here, but we have to insert P10 into them haha wow. Okay, thanks to the power of emulator state saving, I'll battle the Trainers and find out what the correct answers are :)

Gym Trainers
............

The first one gives us instructions about how we get through this Gym. If we give the correct answers we'll not only avoid battling the Trainers but we receive a prize too. However if we give the wrong answer, we battle them. Even if we win the battles, no prize. Good grief. Here we go:

Rising Star Tommy (Lv18 Helioptile, Lv19 Meowth) Prize: P1520

The idea of the quiz questions is fine, but the questions weren't fun. Also having to fork out cash to get answer tickets, really? We'll find Klaus and his Persian. He's surprised to see us here, no longer working for Team Delta. I'm just glad he's actually here, let's battle.

>>GYM BATTLE<<
==============

Leader Klaus (Lv23 Persian, Lv22 Heliolisk, Litleo) 
Prize: P1760 + Roulette Badge + Use of HM Cut outside of battles + TM32 (Double Team)

Outside the Gym, Prof. Amala calls to congratulate us and give the name of the next destination - Narcissus Town. She recommends we check out the ruins there, something linked to Mega Evolution was found there. Noted. 

Check the PokeNav World Map to locate Narcissus Town. We can now use Cut and that means we can continue north past where our lab used to be before Mewtwo X happened. Eventually that will lead to Narcissus Town.

BRAMBLES PATH
------------- 

Pokemon Found
.............
Purrloin, Flabebe, Scyther, Spritzee, Yungoos, Marill, Ralts

Trainers Found
..............
Beauty Achlys (Lv18 Combee, Goomy Lv19 Chatot) Prize: P1520

Pokemon Breeder Murray (Lv19 Aron, Lv20 Snover) Prize: P1600 
[PokeNav Reg.]

We'll have to make our way right round to get that item which you see above Murray. Carry on south, until a cut scene starts:

There are 2 Team Delta grunts. Grunt #1 asks if the other one has found "the machine". Grunt #2 has found it, from the ruins of the lab. They know that Mewtwo is gone but they'll find it someday, for now Team Delta is rolling in cash money. A 3rd grunt shows up to remind them that Kasper is waiting to hear from them, that machine is important - for their plan to create the power of Mega Evolution. We step out to confront the grunts. Grunt #1 gives #3 the machine, so that #1 and #2 can stay behind and deal with us.

Team Delta Grunt #1 (Lv20 Slowpoke, Lv21 Kadabra) Prize: P672

Grunt #2 battles us next.

Team Delta Grunt #2 (Lv19 Golett, Lv21 Spoink) Prize: P672

In the end it is a pointless battle :/ just wasted time fighting these 2. Nothing accomplished. They leave. 

Continue on east. 

Gardener Carson (Lv19 Flabebe, Lv20 Morelull, Ivysaur) Prize: P1600

North from Carson is the entrance into Fault Cave. To the west is the Day Care house.

Battle Girl Callie (Lv23 Mienfoo, Lv24 Pancham) Prize: P1920

Pokemon Breeder Shane (Lv22 Morelull, Lv24 Steenee) Prize: P1920

We'll come back once we can Surf to retrieve that item on the other side of the water north from Pokemon Breeder Shane. 

There are 2 ways: going south leads to an ascending ladder, taking us back to the Main Area so we can explore the eastern side of it. Going north takes to an entrance. But when we try to go through it an unknown voice tells us to leave (oO?) Okay, noted? Let's use that ladder and see what's left of that Main Area.

Hex Maniac Valerie (Lv23 Spoink, Lv25 Shuppet) Prize: P2000 
[PokeNav Reg]

Near Valerie is an Escape Rope. Move down the steps. 

Hiker Ricky (Lv26 Vibrava) Prize: P2080 [PokeNav Reg]

These ruins were once the capital of this Ivara region and what we see here is just a portion of what it used to be. They consist of 4 chambers and a temple.

In one of the chambers there is a little girl who will give us a Level 5 Treecko that she found. 

In the Ancient Temple, we'll find a couple of scientists who have a crisis on their hands - some fossils that they found in Fault Cave a few days ago have been nabbed by Team Delta. Prof. Amala shows up, surprised to see us here. The scientists tell her what's going on and she leaves, going back to Fault Cave to confront Team Delta. There is a 2nd floor here but we can't explore it unless we have her permission. So let's go back to Fault Cave and deal with those Team Delta goons.

That entrance which we couldn't go through before, go in now. We find Team Delta and Prof. Amala. She's busy with a double battle, telling us to carry on forward.  

Team Delta Grunt (Lv25 Houndour) Prize: P800

Then we meet the Team Delta Admins. 

Team Delta Admin (Lv32 Vigoroth) Prize: P1024

Team Delta Admin (Lv28 Chatot, Togedemaru, Lv29 Corphish) Prize: P928

South from the 2nd Admin is a Rare Candy. We see the 2 fossils and the man in charge of this operation - Kasper. He may be glad to see that we survived but he hopes we'll come back to work with Team Delta so that the project can be finished. There's no going back for us, sorry Kasper.

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Golden Trio Kasper Prize: P2640
(Lv32 Clawitzer, Pangoro, Lv33 Mega Houndoom) 

He is impressed, seeing that we were able to defeat a Mega Evolved Pokemon. One more time he asks us to work with Team Delta again and this is where the game says that this is one of many "story-affecting" decisions that we will have to make. Very interesting concept, well done :) hmm so I'll need another save file? I'll indicate which choices I'll make as notes. This is the "main" save file.

** STORY-AFFECTING QUESTION #1 - Rejoin Team Delta Yes/No
- I chose No

Kasper is disappointed, he had hoped we could work together again. Then he's gone. Prof. Amala joins us and we collect the fossils. Apparently Team Delta wasn't interested in the fossils, so Prof. Amala doesn't understand why they were here. Time to return the fossils. 

Back at the temple, the scientists are willing to let us keep one of the fossils. Pick one, Sail Fossil or Jaw Fossil. I don't remember which Pokemon are revived from either of them haha I chose Jaw Fossil because it sounds cool. Prof. Amala is waiting for us on the 2nd floor.

There is a mural here that she wants to show us. Though it is damaged, a Mega Mawile and a Mega Lucario are recognised but the meaning of the mural is still unknown. We give Prof. Amala our opinion, since we've been doing research on Mega Evolution. It was first discovered here in the Ivara region and somehow there's a link to the Kalos region. Perhaps someone can restore the damaged part of the mural. Prof. Amala says that in the past, someone gave her a pen attached with a Mega Stone. Only her Aggron had a reaction to it. We tell her that 50 years ago, 3 scientists created a device that could generate Mega Evolution power but they disappeared. The project that Team Delta is interested in is to rebuild that device. Prof. Amala believes we will stop Team Delta before it's too late. She and Prof. Ivan will be waiting for us in Narcissus Town so that they can watch our next Gym Battle. 

Leave via the east route, going into Cornflower Path.

Flowers. Flowers everywhere! :) let's take a good stroll. 

We'll find out that the Gym Leader here, Lexi, also competes in the Beauty Contents here. Hmm, I hope that doesn't mean she's not at her Gym haha. Speaking of the Gym, you'll see that standing at the entrance (like any good Rival) is our girl Cybil. She's waiting for the Gym Leader (I knew it!), so no battle against us yet. 

Next door to the Gym is the Flower Shop. This is where you'll receive the Wailmer Pail. 

We learn that there's a place called Sylon Academy and one teacher from there named Norton. 

Someone else shares more information about this other region called Ransei, where people and Pokemon communicate with the ability "Link". Apparently there are no Trainers, no Poke Balls there. They were told this by someone named Wind. 

Someone tells us that the Ivara League is in a place called Dandelion City. 50 years ago it was the economic center of this region. 

One of the people outside is a Pokemon Collector who will be looking for someone to look after a Mudkip, so make some room.

The Beauty Contest Hall is to the south of town, the exit too. West of the Hall is a Gentleman who can teach the move Rollout. Near him is an X Speed. 

At the Sports Goods Shop, you can buy a Bike (basically the Mach Bike from Gen 3) for P5000 and a pair of Roller Skates for P1000! No voucher needed haha so I hope you got the cash. Get both, since this is as good as being able to own both Mach and Acro Bikes without needing to use codes. Brilliant. 

At the Battle Room Narcissus Site, this is where your Pokemon's Sp. ATK will be raised. This time though, they are asking for P1800 /==./ this game and money...*takes out the wallet*

Pokemon Trainer Emanuela (Lv35 Kadabra, Lv36 Kirlia) Prize: P2880

Pokemon Trainer Lorella (Lv35 Magneton, Lv36 Haunter) Prize: P2880

Then we meet the Leader here.

Pokemon Trainer Hart Prize: P2960 + X Special
(Lv36 Houndoom, Ampharos, Lv37 Venusaur)

At the Contest Hall we'll find Gym Leader Lexi in the main lobby. A new female character is congratulating her for winning another Contest. This character is named Corin. Seems they were both competing in a Beauty Contest. They see that we're here, Lexi knows why and she leaves for the Gym. 

Cybil is still outside the Gym, with a new Badge, but rather than let us also get a Badge and face us fair and square, she wants to fight us now. She brags about her Pokemon being able to Mega Evolve too. Fantastic.

>>RIVAL BATTLE<<
================

Pokemon Trainer Cybil Prize: P2280
(Lv36 Talonflame, Skorupi, Lv38 Mega Sceptile, Lv37 Lucario)

Yup, another typical Rival :/ interesting though, she mentions the name of someone called Engineer BC that she doesn't want to let down. We've heard of this person before but can't remember. Noted. The Gym is open to us now.

NARCISSUS TOWN Gym
------------------

Leader: Lexi - "The Talented Trainer from Fairyland!"

The Gym guide guy tells us that in this Gym, Lexi will be watching us from somewhere. The Gym Trainers have to be found. I thought they are hidden, but the first one I encountered is along the long corridor.

Furisode Girl Juliet Prize: P2640
(Lv32 Ralts, Jigglypuff, Lv33 Marill, Floette)

Turns out that the Gym Trainers appear one after the other when you defeat them. I thought maybe we have to interact with the sunflowers around the Gym to find them. 

Furisode Girl Glinda Prize: P2800
(Lv34 Snubbull, Spritzee, Lv35 Whimsicott)

(Lv37 Wigglytuff, Lv38 Marill, Lv36 Ribombee, Lv39 Florges)
Prize: P3120 + Sylphid Badge (Use of Rock Smash) + TM45 (Attract)

Umm, where were Prof. Amala and Prof. Ivan?? The battle is over, shouldn't you have been here to see it? Oh well :) we are done here.

Leave via the south exit, where we are stopped by that ninja dude. He has been waiting for us and he gives us HM06 (Rock Smash)! This is what I'm talking about, getting a Gym Badge for the HM which we are going to get next. He says he'll see us at "master's lab"...we ask him where this lab is and who is this master...and who is this ninja guy?? No answers, he justs says that we won't miss the lab before disappearing again. Darn it!

CINERARIA PATH
--------------

According to the sign post nearby, further south is Dandelion Village (not city?) where the Ivara League is located. The lady near the sign post then tells us that the Ivara League was once a Power Station of "Dandelion City". I don't understand lol.

Right, so according to one of the people we speak to here there is the Dandelion Power Station but it was abandoned 40 years ago. It also known as the Ivara League.

Someone lets us know that in order for us to go further we'll have to go through a jungle. Fluorescent Jungle?

A Hiker outside will give us a Level 5 Torchic. 

A woman in the house where that Hiker is standing will give us a Silk Scarf. 

At the Fossil Researching Lab we'll meet Ed, a friend of Prof. Ivan's. Another Ed haha He lets us know that we can give one of the employees here our Fossil and after some time the Pokemon will be resurrected. 

South of the Fossil Researching Lab we'll find that ninja again, standing by the entrance of the lab he was talking about. We'll follow him inside. His master told him to give us the key to this lab. This mysterious master knows that we research Mega Evolution and believes we can fix up this lab. We get the Itemfinder from this guy. Then he's gone, leaving us to deal with this place. Basically interact with all the machines until everything is up and running again. The ones in the upper right corner are for creating Mega Stones. You are given 3 options: Normal Stone, X Stone and Y Stone. I selected Normal Stone, and that created 2 Key Items: a Mega Stone and an Anti-Mega Stone. I don't have a Mega Evolution-capable Pokemon at the moment but once I do, I'll have a look at how these Stones work in this game. 

Outside we meet that Trainer who has a sword. He tells us that next time we meet Kasper, we should advise him to be cautious. Why? Guy says he'll tell us later /==./ dude, really? Then he says we don't need to know *face palm* His name is Jacob. We ask him if that's his real name or a code name for a spy...he assures us that it's his real name. But thinking that we don't trust him, he wonders if we'll trust him more after battling him. Maybe if you were more clear and made more sense, we MIGHT trust you haha another battle!

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Pokemon Trainer Jacob Prize: P2640
(Lv42 Staraptor, Conkeldurr, Lv43 Excadrill, Goodra, Lv44 X Charizard)

He's going to visit an old friend who lives in Hula Town. We make a note about this Jacob guy, spy or not. 

Interesting development: when I use the PC at the PokeCenter, there are 2 other options available alongside the regular PC operations (under Trainer System) - Mega System and Adventurers' Club. Because I have a Mega Stone, my access to the Mega System is denied. I am asked if I would like to remove the Stone. Turns out you use this System to create Mega Stones when you're far from the lab. "Removing the Stone" means getting rid of the one you currently have so that you can make another one. Okay. As for the Adventurers' Club, it requires passwords. Noted. We're done here for now. Leave via the south exit.

DENDROBIUM PATH
---------------

The Hiker near the sign post tells us that we have to get through Fluorescent Jungle ahead to reach the next city, Colchicine City. Apparently many people have gotten lost in that jungle. We'll have to return with HM Surf to get that item to the south.

Galen and Chloris escape before Trevor can catch them, no surprise. But, still here is Mew. We get to battle it, either to catch it or make it leave. Good luck :) Mew is at Level 15.

Trevor knows about us traveling through the region. He's doing some traveling of his own. He was a Base Leader in West Tyron but now he is here looking for "The Shady", doing this for his friend and teacher Hail. Then he's gone. The Shady? (oO?)

Go on in the same direction as Trevor, until you're making your way south. 

Furisode Girl Irene (Lv41 Furfrou, Lv42 Ludicolo) Prize: P672

South from Irene is the exit.

(Puddle?): Lotad

Amazing looking place. One woman outside was given a Beldum by Trevor but she gives it to us. In one of the houses, another woman will give us an Aerodactyl. 

We learn that the Gym Leader is named Slater. 

Wally from the Gen 3 games is in this region with a Mega Gallade. Noted. 

At the Battle Room Colchicine Site, training there increases your Pokemon's Speed. Can I borrow P1800?

Pokemon Trainer Zek (Lv40 Pidgeot, Lv41 Raichu) Prize: P3280

Pokemon Trainer Amata (Lv40 Crobat, Lv41 Flygon) Prize: P3280

Then comes the Leader. 

Pokemon Trainer Valyse Prize: P3440 + X Speed
(Lv42 Aerodactyl, Talonflame, Lv43 Sceptile)

Now let's visit the Gym. 

Outside the Gym we'll see Gym Leader Slater talking to another new character. He has received some seeds and seedlings from Slater. This man is the Wind that we heard about before. Wind sees us, he heard about us from Jacob. He gives us a gift from Jacob - HM04 (Strength)! Wind tells us that he'll be in Hula Town with Jacob. 

COLCHICINE CITY Gym
-------------------

Leader: Slater - "An Artist of the Nature!"

Quite the garden here :) but we have a job to do so let's get to it.

Gardener Keston (Lv42 Gogoat, Lv43 Cacturne) Prize: P3440

He will give us a pair of shears, needed to clear a bush blocking the way north from him. To the right from him is Melita. 

Lady Melita (Lv43 Florges) Prize: P3440

She'll also give us a pair of shears. Southeast from her is Low.

PokeRanger Low (Lv42 Shiinotic, Lv44 Ferrothorn) Prize: P3520

Another pair of shears received. 

Back to Keston, going along that north way leads to Cole.

Rich Boy Cole (Lv44 Sceptile) Prize: P3520 + shears

To the right is Henley.

Gardener Henley (LvLv44 Ferrothorn) Prize: P3520 + shears

North from him is Sinan.

Cool Trainer Sinan (Lv43 Abomasnow, Venusaur) Prize: P3440 + shears

In the northwest corner of the Gym is Ethel. 

PokeRanger Ethel Prize: P3440 + shears
(Lv42 Lombre, Lv43 Simisage, Gogoat) 

Now we can meet Slater, who is found north from Cole. 

>>GYM BATTLE<<
==============

Leader Slater (Lv46 Gogoat, Lv47 Abomasnow, Breloom, Lv48 Tangrowth)
Prize: P3840 + Buds Badge (Use of Strength) + TM19 (Giga Drain)
[PokeNav Reg.]

That ends our time here. The exit is to the south of town. The Fluorescent Jungle continues and beyond that is Hula Town. 

Further south will be Primrose Path.

**NOTE: I had some Mega Evolution-capable Pokemon at this point so I tested out the Mega Stone and the Anti-Mega item: the Mega Stone works like a regular evolution Stone and is a one-time use item, despite being a Key Item. The Anti-Mega item turns the Pokemon back to normal. Problem is once you Mega Evolve a Pokemon and want to create a new Mega Stone, you can't :/ not until you use the Anti-Mega to turn that Pokemon back to normal. Then you'll be able create a new Mega Stone and a new Anti-Mega item. It's cool that you can create new Mega Stones and an item that undones the Mega Evolution, but not being able to create new ones until you undo a Mega Evolution or you get rid of the Mega Stone and Anti-Mega item that you currently have by the PC is what spoils the idea. Another problem is all the PCs in the PokeCenter will only have 3 options from now on: Trainer System, Mega System and Adventurers' Club. Trainer System has the Pokemon Storage and Item Storage. You can't use the Item Storage while having a Mega Stone (and Anti-Mega) in your Bag. With the help of the "Access to PC from Anywhere" code you can store Mega Stones and Anti-Mega items in the Item Storage to create space in your Bag for more, because that code gives you the normal PC menus and not the new ones found in the PokeCenter PCs now. Not all codes are bad, ladies and gentlemen, there are some very useful ones out there, contrary to popular belief :)

In the PokeCenter, speak to the Youngster if you want to teach one of your Pokemon the move Fury Cutter. 

We learn that there's another place called Spearmint Village in the Sylon region that is as flowery as this one. 

In the past, a hero helped the people of this region defeat Kyurem. He hasn't been seen since. Some people think he's dead while others believe he lost his memory and forgot who he is. 

We find someone who is a student of a man named Salchimia, the current Champion of this region. He's a great chemist. His brother Saevitia is the regional governer of the Sylon region. 

At Wind's house, Prof. Ivan tells us that they are investigating a person whose identity is still not known...but what is known is that they act like a ruler of both Tyron and this region. This person is the one called "The Shady". We then ask Trevor how he found out about "The Shady" if their identity isn't known. He found evidence that there's someone behind the scenes. The boss of the Dark Workers, Lumiere, revealed that someone made him attack the Tyron region. Trevor came to this region hoping to get more information since the Dark Workers were active here. We agree to work with Prof. Ivan and company, given that we have worked with Team Delta before. He believes there could be a link between Delta and "The Shady". 

We then speak to Wind and Jacob. There's some information that Wind doesn't want to talk about, saying instead that he's just a gardener now...no longer the leader of Team Mirage. Long story short, we just end up battling Wind. Why? Just. 

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Pokemon Trainer Wind Prize: P3060
(Lv48 Gallade, Lv49 Barbaracle, Zoroark, Lv51 Mega Absol, Spiritomb, Lv50 Umbreon)

What we get is Jacob and Wind going on about something secret, no idea. Jacob leaves. Amala tells us where the next Gym is located, a place called Cosmos Village. She tells us to find her in the Inn after the Gym battle. Wind just tells us that he used to be a Trainer like us in the past. 

Done here. Exit via the east way, to enter Cycads Path.

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Golden Trio Galen Prize: P4240
(Lv49 Talonflame, Lv52 Tyrantrum, Lv51 Zoroark, Lv53 Mega Sharpedo, Lv50 Heracross)

He passes us a message from Kasper, asking if we would change our mind and come back to Team Delta. This looks to be the second story-affecting question. 

** STORY-AFFECTING QUESTION #2 - Rejoin Team Delta #2 Yes/No
- I chose No

Galen will relay our answer. We ask him again what he is doing here, but he drops some cheesy line and disappears /==./ another ninja, perhaps? We make a note that some of the Team Delta members mentioned that this where their base is located, but we'll have to come back later since we didn't find any clues. Make your back to Cycads Path.

We carry on east.

At the beach, middle house, you'll receive a Zorua. 

We learn that some Trainer named Logan has been arrested. What did you do??

Wally is the current Hoenn Champion and someone heard that he passed through here. Now I'm really looking forward to seeing him :)

At the Sunlight Inn, speak to the man watching TV to learn that a woman from a region called Cyenn is now the Western Tyron League Champion. 

To the right from the Souvenir Shop, you'll find a Max Revive. 

South of town we'll find some Trainers.

Trainers Found

Black Belt Graham (Lv50 Medicham) Prize: P4000

On our way to the Gym, guess who shows up just in time to stop us like a good little Rival :/ Cybil. Doesn't understand why we're collecting Gym Badges like a regular Trainer, nor does she know what "The Shady" is. She mentions that Engineer BC taught her about Mega Evolution. But we know why she's here, so let's get to it:

>>RIVAL BATTLE<<
================

Pokemon Trainer Cybil Prize: P3240
(Lv52 Talonflame, Goodra, Lv53 Lucario, Drapion, Lv54 Mega Sceptile)

She can't believe she lost, again, not even Mega Evolution saved her.  Of course she's not done with us, there'll be a next time. So much for hoping she would turn out to be different :/ Cybil leaves and we are finally free to enter the Gym.

COSMOS VILLAGE Gym
------------------

Leader: Corin - "The One who is more than a Swimmer!"

The place looks like an indoor swimming pool hall. Appropriate :) got plenty of Gym Trainers to meet here so be ready. 

To the left is Kaitlin and to the right is Sebastian.

Swimmer Kaitlin (Lv49 Seaking) Prize: P3920

Swimmer Sebastian (Lv47 Sharpedo, Lv49 Clawitzer) Prize: P1568

North from Sebastian is Madison.

Swimmer Madison Prize: P3840
(Lv47 Seaking, Lv48 Barbaracle, Tentacruel) 

To the left of Madison is Brennan.

Swimmer Brennan (Lv48 Lombre, Gyarados) Prize: P1536

North from Kaitlin is Dallas. 

Swimmer Dallas (Lv48 Simipour, Lv49 Wailord) Prize: P1568

To the right of Dallas is Madeline.

Swimmer Madeline (Lv47 Marill, Lv48 Tentacruel, Walrein) Prize: P3840

The Trainer straight north from the Gym entrance is Chelsea.

Swimmer Chelsea (Lv46 Gyarados, Lv49 Lanturn) Prize: P3920

Then there's also a little puzzle we have to solve: figuring out the right sequence for the buttons that are around the Gym to break down the wall of water blocking the northern side. There are 6 buttons: Top right button, middle right button, bottom right button, bottom left button, middle left button and top left button. Here's the solution:

Top right button->Bottom left button->Middle left button->Bottom right button->Top left button->Middle right button

Well, over the water wall we'll find more Gym Trainers and more buttons *face palm* the struggle continues!

Swimmer Kahlil Prize: P1600
(Lv48 Lanturn, Barbaracle, Lv50 Slowking, Lv49 Sharpedo) 

Swimmer Austina Prize: P4000
(Lv48 Ludicolo, Vaporeon, Lv49 Milotic, Lv50 Slowbro)

6 buttons here as well, 3 on the right and 3 on the left. 

Top right button->Middle left button->Bottom right button->Top left button->Middle right button->Bottom left button

That is the final puzzle. Corin is next.

>>GYM BATTLE<<
==============

Leader Corin (Lv51 Gyarados, Lv54 Clawitzer, Lv52 Sharpedo, Lv53 Milotic, Lv55 Kingdra) [PokeNav Reg.]
Prize: P4400 + Spiral Badge (Use of Surf) + TM18 (Rain Dance)

Outside the Gym, we get a call from Prof. Amala, just to remind us that she is waiting at the Sunlight Inn.

She tells us that the researchers of the Covellite Ruins found an old map where the mural is. The words on the map can't be deciphered but she believes they have to do with Mega Evolution. We get it as the Key Item the Old Sea Map. She also gives us HM03 (Surf). Great success :)

Once we get HM Fly then we can do the backtracking for any items we couldn't reach until we could Surf. 

**NOTE: Now that we can Surf, I went back to Crowfoot Village and spoke to the man in the Magician's Cave. He asks if we have a "Confined Hoopa" (oO?) he says if we have a Hoopa, he can transform it into an "Unbound Hoopa". Seems to be some kind of Pokemon. No idea, but we'll be back. 

Leave by stepping into the water south of town. After trying out both Old Rod and Good Rod, I think finding Water-type Pokemon will be easier now that we can surf. The fishing mechanic is wonky haha I don't remember having such a bad time trying to fish back in the day.

Quite the little place here, shades of Dewford Town from the Gen 3 days :) let's look around then move on. 

There's a PokeRanger lady outside who gives us a Charmander to look after. Northwest from the lady, behind the trees that need to be Cut, is a Revive. 

Someone here has seen some Dark Workers, they wear white hats and black glasses. We'll keep an eye out for them.

Someone will trade you their Horsea for a Bagon. 

The Egg Master will only serves "special Trainers", not us. (oO?) Okay..

Nothing else to be done here. So we leave, going on west.

Gentleman Robert (Lv53 Weavile) Prize: P4240

Further west is Oleander City. The item near the water is a Nest Ball.
[PokeNav Reg.]

Just as we continue past Robert, Trevor appears. Here we go :/ he says he now has his Pokemon back, not wanting to use the Pokemon of someone named Prosecutor Siru except for some secret mission. He wants us to prove that we are strong enough to look for "The Shady". Didn't we team up to battle 2 of the Golden Trio to protect Mew? Not enough proof, hmm??

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

PokeTrainer Trevor Prize: P3480
(Lv55 Mienshao, Gardevoir, Lv56 Pyroar, Lv57 Leafeon, Lv58 Mega Scizor)

He tells us that "The Shady" has a lot of influence, possibly keeping an eye on us right now since we have a link with Team Delta. Trevor is doing all this for his "tutor" who died 2 years ago. He needs our help and then he's gone.

Wind Power Level 9000!! Good lord, look at all them wind turbines haha! Power cuts be damned :D let's look around.

In the southeastern corner of town is a Full Heal. 

We're told we need permission from the Director in order to visit the Power Plant. Jacques, the Gym Leader here, also happens to be the security guard at the Power Plant. He's seen as a hero here, having stopped some Dark Workers who were causing trouble. The Power Plant was rebuilt by Champion Salchimia, based on the blueprint drawn by his brother Saevitia. 

At the Power Plant we'll find the Director, who tells us that he fired Jacques (?!) because why have a human protect things here when you can just set up an A.I. system instead? The Automatic Security System. Damn. 

Salchimia and his brother Saevitia were born here, their parents died when they were young. Started out poor but they made it through, one is now the current Champion and a great chemist while the other is a regional governor in another region. Odd thing is, Saevitia hasn't been seen since he left for that Sylon region. We'll find out from another resident that Saevitia was caught in the Sylon region after it was revealed that he had some evil operation going on there. Salchimia won't talk about this. 

In the house straight south from the Battle Room Oleander Site, speak to the Youngster-looking boy to get a Bagon. 

At the Battle Room Oleander Site, training here raises your Pokemon's Defense. And this time...hoo boy, it is P3600! I have to sell the house now /==./

PokeTrainer Aude (Lv52 Drapion, Lv53 Aggron) Prize: P4240

PokeTrainer Mathias (Lv52 Golem, Lv53 Steelix) Prize: P4240

The new Leader of this room faces us in the finale.

PokeTrainer Suzette Prize: P4400
(Lv54 Tangrowth, Leafeon, Lv55 Slowbro)

Well, at least we make enough money to buy back the house!

By the western exit, we'll find a guy in white blocking the way. He has something for us but we have to come back to him when we have Jacque's Badge, the Electrode Badge. 

At the Eevee Collector's House we meet Eevee Fan G. He'll give us his favourite Pokemon if we defeat him. He has a full team so come prepared.

PokeFan Eevee Fan G Prize: P4480
(Lv56 Espeon, Glaceon, Flareon, Vaporeon, Umbreon, Jolteon)

Then the guy battles us again because he's a sore loser. Just wow, bruh. Well, thanks for the extra EXP ;)

...and you battle him a 3rd time. He unleashes a surprise though - Sylveon. This is the final battle. As a reward we get Glaceon, Leafeon and that Sylveon all are Level 20. Unbelievable haha.

Time to find Jacques and maybe get his side of the Power Plant story. As we enter the Gym, out comes Fescue City Gym Leader Klaus. He's here to see his old friend. We tell him that we're here to challenge Jacques since we're collecting Gym Badges. Klaus wishes us good luck, saying that maybe we can cheer Jacques up. He'll be at the Power Plant.

OLEANDER CITY Gym
-----------------

Leader: Jacques - "The Living Legend of this City!"

Large Gym, you just have to reach the north end. We'll find the man. He says that this restaurant is being redecorated, because this is no longer a Gym?! He gives us a key which we should return to the Director. It is a Basement Key. We have to fix this mess asap!

Back at the Power Plant, Klaus is surprised to see us so soon. No Badge. We go over to speak with the Director, who won't change his mind about Jacques-- suddenly, the Automatic Security System malfunctions. Klaus convinces the Director that he'll need Jacques' help now. In the meantime, we have to go down into the basement and see what's up. 

OLEANDER CITY Power Plant (Basement)
-------------------------

Who do we find down here? Chloris and another character, scheming something. That character is part of the Dark Workers! Chloris leaves and we have this guy to deal with. 

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv53 Liepard, Lv54 Heliolisk, Absol) Prize: P4320

He tells us that he's just a guard before taking off as well. Klaus shows up and can't believe that the Dark Workers are back in action. It's been 5 years. They are mercenaries. Then we are joined by Cybil, who immediately questions us as if we're behind this. Klaus calms her down. She's here because she thinks that her sister, then corrects herself, meaning Team Delta members could be here. Smooth. We make a note that she's trying to hide something. We tell her what has happened, Team Delta hiring the Dark Workers. Cybil agrees to team up with us this time (thank God!), expecting us to prove that we're indeed not working with Team Delta. Could this be the turning point for her character?? Klaus and Cybil go on ahead.

Pokemon Found
.............
Magnemite, Electrike, Mareep, Helioptile, Heliolisk

Follow the way west, stepping on the green button to open the green door. Can't continue west because there's a blue door in the way, so head south. Double battle.

Team Delta & Dark Worker Grunts Prize: P6048
(Lv53 Mawile & Lv54 Sharpedo, Lv54 Pangoro & Hawlucha)

South from them is a Thunderstone and the blue button that unlocks the door above (and the one you can see on the left). 

Team Delta Grunt Prize: P1728
(Lv53 Golbat, Lv54 Crawdaunt, Conkeldurr)

Below him is a green button. Pressing it closes the blue door just below the next grunt. 

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv56 Drapion) Prize: P4480

But with that door closed, we can explore the area further south from him. There's a blue button among the boxes, but don't press it yet. Carry on, we'll see a Dark Worker along a corridor extending south and an item on top of another blue button ahead of us. That "item" is a Helioptile, Leve 25. Don't press that blue button yet, let's see where that south corridor takes us.

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv53 Pyroar, Lv54 Aggron) Prize: P4320

Deadend, unless we press that blue button Helioptile was on top of. 

Team Delta Grunt (Lv54 Sylveon, Lv55 Seadra) Prize: P1760

Past the grunt we'll see Cybil outside a door. Pause. Below I'll show what's in the area to the right of the DW grunt who only has a Drapion. To unlock that area, don't press the Helioptile blue button but press the one among the boxes south from the Drapion DW grunt. 

Going east from the Drapion DW grunt, we'll find an Escape Rope. 

Dark Worker Grunt Prize: P4320
(Lv52 Manectric, Lv54 Dragalge, Lv53 Ferrothorn)

Step on the green button in the small room just above her and continue east.

Team Delta Grunt Prize: P1728
(Lv53 Gogoat, Vigoroth, Lv54 Slowbro)

At the end of the corridor we'll be seeing Cybil from the right side. 

She asks where Klaus is, but we haven't seen him since the beginning of this mission. She heals our Pokemon before storming into the room. Inside Cybil calls out to her sister Chloris (?!) to stop. Shocker, Chloris tells Cybil not to interfere. She'll have to deal with us now. 

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Golden Trio Chloris Prize: P4720
(Lv57 Cinccino, Dragalge, Lv59 Mega Ampharos, Lv58 Klefki, Flygon)

She tells us that Kasper still wants to know (for the 3rd time) if we'll rejoin Team Delta. 

** STORY-AFFECTING QUESTION #3 - Rejoin Team Delta #3 Yes/No
- I chose No

Chloris doesn't think we can stop them, they have control over the generator...until she notices that something has happened to the generator. Klaus and Jacques appear, this time Jacques is no longer depressed! Chloris changes plans, no longer interested in the generator because a certain device that they have, a Mega machine, is fully charged now and once again she's gone. But it doesn't matter, Jacques is okay. He reveals that the Automatic Security System was a Dark Workers' trap that they sold to the Director. He'll be ready to accept our challenge now. The Director shows up to ask Jacques to work. Soon we're left with Cybil who has some explaining of her own to do: she and Chloris travelled together, though Chloris left home to work for Team Delta 2 years ago. Even after telling us all that and after everything that has happened here, the girl says she still won't trust us *face palm* didn't we just say No to rejoining Team Delta, for the 3rd time?? So she's going to continue being an annoying Rival...god help us.

After Cybil leaves, that ninja guy appears. Not to be of any help, just here to be cryptic and not answer our questions. Then he's gone again. 

Anyway, once that is out of the way we can finally tackle the Gym. This time round, at the entrance there are 2 switches. One unlocks the gate on the left and the other unlocks the gate on the right. The gate ahead of us is unlocked from elsewhere. 

Going north from the right leads us to Sergio and a switch. 

CoolTrainer Sergio (Lv54 Ampharos, Lv55 Jolteon) Prize: P4400

The switch opens the middle gate. 

Going north from the left leads to Breanna, a closed gate and a switch that unlocks a gate ahead along the middle way. 

PokeRanger Breanna Prize: P4400
(Lv54 Manectric, Lv55 Magneton, Lanturn)

Go back to the Gym entrance and use the middle path.

Scientist Chance (Lv54 Heliolisk, Lv55 Raichu) Prize: P4400

There's a switch in the little room northwest from Chance and 2 more north from him. The one on the left clears the way above Breanna. Go to the right where we'll find Meghan. 

Gentleman Meghan (Lv56 Ampharos) Prize: P4480

Below him is a closed gate. Above from him there are 2 other switches, both found to the left. One path going left below another path also going left. The bottom path leads to Lonnie (he is north from Breanne)

Scientist Lonnie (Lv55 Pikachu, Jolteon) Prize: P4400

He stands next to a closed gate. The path above this one has Destiny and next to her is a switch. 

CoolTrainer Destiny Prize: P4400
(Lv54 Heliolisk, Lv55 Raichu, Magneton)

That switch opens the gate in the northeast corner of the Gym. 

PokeRanger Zachery (Lv54 Magnemite, Lv56 Heliolisk) Prize: P4480

Near him is another switch. This one unlocks the gate below Meghan. In that small room is another switch. Unlocks the gate near Lonnie. Carry on past him.

Furisode Girl Teira (Lv55 Lanturn, Lv56 Manectric) Prize: P4480

She's the final Gym Trainer. Just as we approach the room where Jacques is, we're bumped into by Cybil. Of course, she's already got her Badge and rather than let us have our turn, nope, battle /==./

>>RIVAL BATTLE<<
================

Pokemon Trainer Cybil Prize: P3660
(Lv59 Talonflame, Goodra, Lv60 Lucario, Drapion, Lv61 M. Sceptile)

She tells us that she doesn't know how to stop Chloris and won't tell us more important information about Chloris being part of something else besides the Golden Trio. No sign of this character changing for the better yet. You'd think by now she has seen the light and wants to work with us...but instead she storms off after warning us. Meaning this stupid "rivalry" continues. 

Anyway, Jacques is ready for us. 

>>GYM BATTLE<<
==============

Leader Jacques (Lv58 Jolteon, Lanturn, Lv59 Heliolisk, Ampharos, Lv60 M. Manectric)
Prize: P4800 + Electrode Badge (Use of HM Fly) + TM25 (Thunder)
[PokeNav Reg.]

Done and done. Exit the Gym and return to that man in white by the western exit. He tells us who he is - Champion Salchimia! Seeing that we now have the Gym Badge, he gives us the important item - HM02 (Fly)! He is aware of this little quest we're doing for Prof. Amala and will be waiting for us at the Ivara League. No problem chief :)

South from Sterling, in the southeastern corner of this area is a small cave. I went in to check what's there...can't progress until we can move up waterfalls. Noted. 

Going on west, we'll be facing the sea again. Step into the water from the north end of the beach and continue west. 

Pokemon Found

More Dive spots south from the island.

Swimmer Didier (Lv56 Tentacruel, Blastoise) Prize: P1792

North and onwards for the final stretch west. 

Swimmer Magnolia (Lv57 Walrein) Prize: P4560

Finally, we reach land...in time to meet yet another new character. New in this game, but very familiar in the official games - Lorekeeper Zinnia and her Whismur partner Aster! (Has the best Battle theme out of all the character Trainers in the games, hands down). She notes that this is the Ivara region and "that Pokemon" must be here. When she sees us Zinnia asks if we are Prof. Amala, we're not. She asks if we are a Pokemon researcher, because she needs our help. She heals our Pokemon and then...

>>TRAINER BATTLE<< (Sadly, she doesn't have that epic theme here :/ )
==================

PokeTrainer Zinnia Prize: P3720
(Lv69 Whismur, Lv60 Goodra, Tyrantrum, Altaria, Lv62 M. Salamence)

She shows us a picture of the Pokemon she's looking for - Mega Rayquaza. Unlike other Mega Evolution-capable Pokemon, it doesn't need any Mega Stones to evolve. She believes that Rayquaza has come to this region and if we have any information we should let her know. Then she's gone. 

We're now on Sargasso Path, but just for a short walk because we're outside Calligonum Town.

Right as we walk into town we can see that things are not all too well here - there are Dark Worker grunts out and about. What are they up to?? Let's look around. 

The Dark Worker grunts around town are just here doing nothing, like regular grunts :) some believe they are tourists. 

Going west out of town leads to the beginning of Salix Path and a squad of Dark Workers blocking the way, getting instructions from a superior about getting some unknown object. 

Someone tells us that there are 3 towers in a place called Osmanthus City (because what's a Pokemon game without a tower? Here we got THREE!). The Gym Leader there, Youkeiin, knows their history. 

At the Battle Room Calligonum Site, you train here to raise the Attack of your Pokemon. Still P3600 /==./ *wallet petronum or whatever*

PokeTrainer Anais (Lv55 Excadrill, Lv56 Flareon) Prize: P4480

PokeTrainer Donny Prize: P4720 + X Attack
(Lv58 Mudsdale, Arcanine, Lv59 Gumshoos)

The old woman just to the west from Elijah's House will give us a Lapras. In the house she's standing next to, we'll get the Old Amber...even though we already received an Aerodactyl ages ago. The man who gives us the Old Amber says that he was told it can't be used to revive a Pokemon though. Odd. Unless it'll play a key role later on? 

**NOTE: Just out of curiousity, I wanted to fly back to Dandelion to see if there would be any acknowledgement of the Old Amber at the Fossil Researching Lab (there wasn't any) but instead of ending up in Dandelion I accidentally selected the Ivara League and kinda spoiled myself haha. I went into the building and when I tried to interact with some key characters, the game froze. South from the building is what looks to be the last bit of Victory Road. Good thing I'd saved before flying. That was insane. 

In the house to the left from the Lapras woman, that man in the kitchen is a self-proclaimed fossil collector...who will STEAL the Old Amber from us! What the f-- but in exchange he'll give us a Jaw Fossil and a Sail Fossil. This guy /==./ you could've just asked. Upstairs we'll find a Heart Scale. So that ends the brief adventure with the Old Amber haha. 

In the house to the southwest of town we'll meet the Super Rod Fisherman. Well, according to his mom upstairs he's not an actual fisherman...he just enjoys collecting fishing rods, ha.

Outside Elijah's house we meet the Housekeeper, who tells us that his master has invited some guests and doesn't want to be disturbed. 

Going north of town leads to Wisteria Falls.

Just across the water west from Diana is a Burn Heal. Carry on north from there so we can take down some DW grunts. 

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv59 Gengar) Prize: P4720

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv58 Kangaskhan, Flygon) Prize: P4640

North from this grunt we'll meet up with Wind. He's aware of the Dark Workers...but once again we have to "prove" ourselves a.k.a take part in yet another battle that doesn't mean anything /==./ he has a full team too...

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

PokeTrainer Wind Prize: P3780
(Lv62 M. Absol, Umbreon, Lv61 Venusaur, Zoroark, Barbaracle Lv63 Spiritomb)

He mentions a "masked person" that attacked him despite Wind not wanting to fight them. They won't allow anyone to enter Wisteria Cave. He ripped a button from that person's clothes during the fight and gives the button to us. He believes it could be a key but for now it is useless. Then he's gone, off to visit a friend. I don't understand these characters haha there's clearly a crisis going on but they'd rather be doing other things or refusing to see reason and help us fix things *cough Cybil cough*

The entrance to Wisteria Cave is just nearby, blocked by a grunt. 

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv57 Liepard, Diggersby, Lv58 Arcanine, Weavile)
Prize: P4640

He runs off into the cave, with us right behind him. 

WISTERIA CAVE

Zubat, Drilbur, Lairon, Gurdurr

We'll see another grunt. 

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv57 Tsareena, Lv58 Conkeldurr) Prize: P4640

Carry on east past him because that path going north leads to a deadend. Go up the stairs just before facing the next DW grunt, you'll find a Max Elixir. 

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv59 Salamence) Prize: P4720

From her, north leads to an opening. We'll be back outside. 

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv58 Sharpedo, Lv59 Crobat, Pupitar) Prize: P4720

We're going north. 

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv59 Houndoom, Glalie) Prize: P4720

The next grunts stand outside an entrance to the secret base. 

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv58 Persian, Pinsir) Prize: P4640

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv60 Absol) Prize: P4800

Inside the base we meet 2 more DW grunts who don't want us to disturb the VIPs that are here. Before it becomes a 2 vs 1 fight, Trevor arrives to help. He says he'll face the grunts while we should go ahead to find the boss, who could be "The Shady". He's not confident, even his best partner Hail failed to beat "The Shady" 2 years ago. Hail was murdered before he could accomplish an important mission. We move on to find the masked person who defeated Wind. They claim to know us, we ask if they are "The Shady" and they confirm it. They benefited from the Mewtwo project and now have Mewtwo. Full team too, get ready. 

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Dark Royalty Prize: P256
(Lv62 Staraptor, Arcanine, Lv64 Mewtwo, Garchomp, Lv63 Aggron, Drapion)

We notice that Mewtwo is different, turns out that this masked person has "upgraded" it to boost its power. Trevor catches up and before he can arrest "The Shady", they are gone. There's an open doorway ahead of us and Trevor goes in, not wanting to give up despite failing to catch "The Shady". In the next room we find Tyra! She's safe and sound, but was forced to tell the bad guys everything about the Mewtwo project. She's pretty upset about this but for now we're just glad she's okay. Trevor wants to take Tyra with him to a police station where she can give a testimony since she is a witness. 

As we leave, Wind calls. He got our number from Klaus. He tells us that his friend is inviting...for tea...? /==./ that friend is Elijah.

At Elijah's house, we find Wind and a talking Zoroark (oo?) named Eliza - the current leader of Team Mirage. Oh and she's also a detective. We meet Elijah. Eliza thinks we'll need help in finding "The Shady". We find out that Logan is Elijah's friend and Elijah hopes we can do something about his situation. Eliza will help with that too and leaves. Before Wind leaves, Elijah tells him that he received some Pokemon from his grandfather. Oh you know where this is going... 

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

PokeTrainer Elijah Prize: P3840
(Lv62 Ferrothorn, Sylveon, Lv64 Tentacruel, M. Altaria Lv63 Cinccino, Gallade)

Too many throwaway battles in this game. We meet a new character and next thing we're battling them and it doesn't mean anything, like we're battling a typical NPC Trainer /==./ with all the new characters we keep meeting, you can see why I'm finding this to be getting old. 

We agree to help Elijah save Logan. Wind would rather continue to be a gardener than help and he runs off. Didn't we just battle this guy? Come on man. Elijah tells us that Eliza can be found upstairs, she rents that room. If you go up to speak to her she'll just tell us that she doesn't have anything for us at the moment. 

We're done here. Back to Salix Path and continuing west. Further west is Osmanthus City.

(Lv57 Gyarados, Lv58 Tentacruel, Lv59 Azumarill, Lv60 Walrein)

Youngster Basil (Lv60 Pyroar) Prize: P4800

There's a Rare Candy just north from him. Continue west across the bridge. 

Battle Girl Kordula (Lv59 Pandoro, Lv60 Lucario) Prize: P4800

South from her is an Elixir. In a corner north from her is a Zinc. Cross the water and carry on north. 

Scientist Montgomery (Lv61 Flygon) Prize: P4880

We're just outside Osmanthus City when we are stopped by Jacob. He was waiting for us here but fell asleep, ha. Elijah told him that we faced "The Shady", so that kinda makes us a hero. Another hero was Logan, who has been found guilty. Jacob and everyone don't believe he is, but they can't do anything about it. Logan saved the Sylon region. Only prosecutor Grima supports Jacob and company. We are needed to help them, no problem...until Jacob wants to "test" us. FFS.

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

PokeTrainer Jacob Prize: P3900
(Lv63 Staraptor, Whimsicott, Lv64 Conkeldurr, Goodra, Excadrill, Lv65 X Charizard)

He goes on to tell us that people regarded him as a hero 3 years ago because he defeated Wind. But Jacob stopped seeing himself as a hero when Wind formed Team Mirage. Another youngster defeated Wind, becoming a "Chosen Hero" and going on to become the general of the Tyron region recently. They are also the manager of something called Battle Department. Jacob mentions another "hero" named Uranium (oO?) More new characters ahead haha good lord. Logan was not a "Chosen Hero". 

** On a side note, I'm guessing that the writer/writers of this game don't have English as their first language so the dialogue between characters doesn't always make sense so I'm reading through the text slowly to figure out what exactly is someone trying to say.

Okay, so Logan wasn't a "Chosen Hero" and doesn't know what the current "Chosen Hero" has done to save people. That Hero tried to save Logan but failed. "The Shady" framed Logan. Jacob then tells us that he's revealing all this information because NOW he trusts us and so does everyone else. So they won't want to "test" us again and again when we meet?? Jacob leaves for Osmanthus City, worried about someone named Siena being angry.

Let's have a look around this place. Them 3 towers loom ahead of us. THREE!

Someone tells us that in one of the towers there's a strange sphere hidden. Only the Gym Leader Youkeiin knows more about this. Noted. 

The ancestors of the residents here came from Johto and Sinnoh 200 years ago, hence the look of the place. The towers are built to honour the 3 Legendary Beasts Entei, Suicune and Raikou because they were followed to this region by the ancestors. 

We hear a little bit more about this Uranium guy: he was chosen by Suicune and is now the current Champion in the Tyron region. He has a brother but it's not clear if the brother is alive or not. 

There's someone named Legend Grandma that we're told about. She lives on Caemine Island and is said to be similar to Youkeiin. 

The Black Belt in the western side of town will teach the move Dynamic Punch. 

Behind the eastern tower (Ignis Tower) is a Net Ball. 

In the house to the west, there's the "Hidden Power" old woman. She's from the Gen 3 games, I think in Fortree City. Here her husband teaches the move Sleep Talk. 

At the Storyteller's House, the man there tells us about a crystal that he's got which has ruined him. He is a former adventurer from the Lande region. He found the crystal on an island he discovered with his friends, but didn't tell them about it. He gives it to us, a Key Item called a Red Crystal. 

Youkeiin has a granddaughter named Absolve (what? Makes me think of Anathema Device haha #GoodOmens) who happens to be a top class ninja here. If anything has been stolen, chances are it was by her. Another great ninja left this city 2 years ago. Very interesting :) we do know ANOTHER ninja...

Outside the Gym we find Jacob talking to Siena, sorry about being late. But she ain't having it, reminding him that he was annoyed when she was late in the past. She apologises to us for Jacob. She knows about our mission to find "The Shady" because Siena and everyone are also on the same mission. "The Shady" is "invisible" and to defeat them they have to be "identified". By the way, all those quotation marks are in the game haha not my own. Yeah the story is sketchy and gets tough to follow. Long story short, another pointless battle ahead /==./ I'm starting to not like meeting new characters in this game...

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

PokeTrainer Siena Prize: P3900
(Lv63 Lopunny, Jolteon, Lv64 Venusaur, Metagross, Blaziken Lv65 M. Aerodactyl)

After "proving" ourselves, it's time for Siena and Jacob to go. They were told by the ninja to find something "by other means". Again we're just seeing characters talking about stuff without being clear and yet they need our help to sort this "Shady" situation. When Jacob and Siena leave, Absolve makes her appearance and steals our Gym Badges because she won't let us challenge her grandma *face palm* great. I guess it could've been worse - Cybil could've popped up again to stop us from entering the Gym. 

The Tri Towers, named from west to east, are Tonitrua Tower, Ventus Tower and Ignis Tower. We can't explore the upper floors of each tower unless we have permission from Youkeiin. It is said that the 3 Legendary Beasts are known to show up at these towers. The one we're going to is Ignis Tower. Absolve is here, we ask her to return our Badges, she won't. Are you ready? 

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

PokeTrainer Absolve Prize: P3900
(Lv63 Klefki, Lv65 M. Lopunny, Lv64 Ninetales, Zoroark, Meowstic, Kingdra)

Absolve is about to disappear when suddenly that other ninja shows up to put an end to this nonsense, convincing her to give us our Badges before she runs off. Again no information or anything of use from this ninja guy, even though Absolve recognised him and was surprised to see him. He's gone before we know it. 

Gym time!

OSMANTHUS CITY Gym
------------------

Leader: Youkeiin - "The One who can 'Talk with the Past."

According to the Gym guide guy by the door, there are traps here. Okay...the type used here is Dark-type. 

Furisode Girl Vero (Lv62 Cacturne, Lv63 Houndoom) Prize: P5040

Rich Boy Dimitri (Lv64 Weavile) Prize: P5120

These 2 Gym Trainers stand surrounded by a number of statues. When you interact with any of them a message pops up saying there's a button that can be pressed. I pressed the button but nothing visible happened. What has changed is that when you interact with the statues again, all of them give the message saying we have to find another button to unlock the trap. 

Going north from the left side of this place leads to Erin. 

CoolTrainer Erin (Lv62 Liepard, Lv63 Tyranitar, Sharpedo) Prize: P5040

She tells us that the statues may injure us, but we have to interact with them or else we can't reach Youkeiin. 

Above Erin is Jeremias. 

Gentleman Jeremias (Lv63 Sableye, Lv64 Tsareena) Prize: P5120

More statues are found in the north section and Humberto. 

Gentleman Humberto (Lv63 Zoroark, Drapion) Prize: P5040

To the right from him is Ruth. 

Expert Ruth (Lv64 Umbreon) Prize: P5120

If you got up here from the right side, these are the Gym Trainers you met: 

Scientist Blake (Lv64 Zoroark) Prize: P5120

Hex Maniac Lilith (Lv63 Pangoro, Absol) Prize: P5040

Pick a statue and press the button. Now the trap is active and you have to try your luck interacting with the statues until you find one which teleports you to the central platform where Absolve and Youkeiin are. If you are unlucky your Pokemon are either poisoned or you lose money. So make use of that almighty power of instant saving :) 

No more trouble from Absolve, thank goodness. Youkeiin knows who we are, Cybil mentioned us. She and her Dark-types are ready. 

>>GYM BATTLE<<
==============

Leader Youkeiin (Lv66 Zoroark, Absol, Lv67 Umbreon, Houndoom, Lv68 Spiritomb)

Just after the battle, there's trouble - Team Delta show up and have targeted the towers. Youkeiin believes they are here for "that thing" and she steps out. 

Ventus Tower is the only one blocked by a Team Delta grunt. Let's start with Tonitrua Tower to the west. 

TONITRUA TOWER
--------------

(Main Area)

Inside we'll find another Team Delta grunt.

Team Delta Admin (Lv64 Lopunny, Milotic, Lv65 Goodra) Prize: P2080

That other character is Chloris, who notes that whatever she's looking for isn't here. She sees us and knows we're here to stop this nonsense. 

>>BOSS BATTLE<<

Golden Trio Chloris Prize: P5360
(Lv65 Weavile, Lv65 Cinccino, Dragalge, Lv67 M. Ampharos, Lv66 Klefki, Flygon)

(Main Area)

Team Delta Grunt (Lv64 Mienshao) Prize: P2048

Team Delta Grunt (Lv63 Klefki, Lv64 Skarmory) Prize: P2048

(3rd Area)

Team Delta Grunt (Lv63 Haunter, Froslass, Lv64 Crobat) Prize: P2048

(4th Area)

There's Kasper and Youkeiin to the right, by the Suicune paintings. But first...

Team Delta Admin Prize: P2080
(Lv64 Ninetales, Sylveon, Lv65 Scizor)

Team Delta Admin Prize: P2080
(Lv65 Slaking, Metagross)

Kasper tells Youkeiin that she isn't as strong as she used to be. He has obtained the Power Capsule which Galen and Chloris failed to find. The capsule belongs to that Engineer BC guy we've heard about from Cybil. Kasper tells us that he needs to take the capsule away from here. Battle time.

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Golden Trio Kasper Prize: P5440
(Lv66 Salamence, Ferrothorn, Lv68 M. Houndoom, Lv67 Kingdra, Excadrill, Pangoro)

But as usual, it was a pointless battle. Kasper has figured out how open the capsule and will copy all its data. The project we started must be completed...so once again we are asked about rejoining Team Delta. 

** STORY-AFFECTING QUESTION #4 - Rejoin Team Delta Yes/No
- I chose No

If anyone of you chose Yes please let me know how the story went for you up to this point. What changes happened so far? Because this seems to be the only "story-affecting" question we've been getting...then again, this is a massive game with other regions being mentioned so maybe (hopefully?) other questions will be asked of us. 

In the end Kasper leaves with the capsule. Youkeiin believes it's too late-- Absolve shows up, having done what she does best - steal an ID Card from Kasper as he was leaving. It gives us access to a Team Delta secret base so we can retrieve the capsule. Absolve wants to go there but Youkeiin isn't too happy about that...so we have to play babysitter /==./

On our way out, Trevor calls. He's aware of what has happened and wants to meet us at the Sunlight Inn in Cosmos Village. Cybil is there too (great) so is everyone else. Just as we're planning to leave, Absolve shows up having heard the conversation. She'll wait for us in Cosmos City. So bloody annoying.

Back at the Sunlight Inn. Trevor tells us more about the Power Capsule, that it was created by Engineer BC 40 years ago. All the information from his research about Mega Evolution is stored in it. He gave it to Youkeiin to look after. Nobody has seen him since. Cybil adds that Chloris told her that Team Delta need the Power Capsule for a new project. Trevor says that the secret base is at Mt. Honeysuckle. He will meet us there with everyone else. Salchimia shows up, just to tell us that our assistant (Tyra) could help us out in this situation. 

Make your way back to the summit of Mt. Honeysuckle. Tyra will show everyone a slot where the ID Card can be inserted. We hand over the card to Trevor and he opens the door. In we go!

TEAM DELTA SECRET BASE
----------------------

(1st Area Mt. Honeysuckle)

Pokemon Found
.............
Golbat, Rhyhorn, Gastly, Graveler

Team Delta Grunt (Lv64 Sableye, Scizor) Prize: P2048

Follow the stairs north. 

Team Delta Grunt (Lv66 Umbreon) Prize: P2112

Up north, cross the water and continue north. 

Team Delta Grunt (Lv63 Liepard, Lv64 Pangoro, Zoroark) Prize: P2048

Onwards to the next area. Be sure to have Pokemon that know Strength and Rock Smash too. 

(2nd Area Mt. Honeysuckle)

Pokemon Found
.............
Onix, Graveler

We'll find an ascending ladder that we can't reach and the entrance to the next area. 

(Secret Base Area A)

Now we're in the building of the base. Waiting for us by the entrance isn't a new character, no, it is a gang of warp panels :) gotta love warp panels, there's no secret base without them. There are 4 by the entrance, use the top right one. Takes us to the little northeast corner room from the entrance. Use the next warp panel here to reach eastern side of this area. Ahead of us is Tyra. She thanks us for forgiving her and now wants to help. She also reveals that the masked person/"The Shady"/Divine Royalty is a woman while going on about telling them how to use the machine to control Mewtwo. Then she says how worried she is about us, not being a Trainer until we joined Team Delta...long story short, another unnecessary battle where we have to "prove" ourselves. At this point you're free to have a glass of water for every battle like this that we'll find ourselves in /==./

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Scientist Tyra Prize: P5440
(Lv66 Aromatisse, Aurorus, Lv67 Altaria, Heliolisk, Lv68 Blastoise)

NOW she's convinced that we're strong. Tyra stole something from the masked woman's hideout and gives it to us - the Master Ball! Then she goes ahead. We continue. 

Team Delta Grunt (Lv64 Golbat, Pyroar, Lv65 Absol) Prize: P2080

All the way north we'll find a Revive and the doorway to the next area. 

Team Delta Grunt (Lv65 Liepard, Zoroark) Prize: P2080

(Secret Base Area B)

Team Delta Grunt (Lv65 Tsareena, Lv66 Rhydon) Prize: P2112

Team Delta Grunt (Lv67 Gengar) Prize: P2144

Carry on north. 

Team Delta Grunt (Lv64 Gogoat, Banette, Conkeldurr) Prize: P2048

The path will wind all the way west and south. The first grunt we'll meet will heal our Pokemon (oO!) perhaps there's hope for Team Delta after all haha. Continue south. 

Team Delta Grunt (Lv65 Ferrothorn, Crobat) Prize: P2080

We'll find 3 warp panels, one on the left, a middle one and one on the right. The right side warp panel leads to a Rare Candy. The left side warp panel leads to an ambush: 

Team Delta Grunt (Lv65 Shedinja, Ninjask) Prize: P2080

Middle panel it is. Leads to another panel, which takes us to an Admin standing by a doorway to the next area. 

Team Delta Admin Prize: P2144
(Lv66 Excadrill, Flygon, Lv67 Houndoom)

(Secret Base Area C)

Here we can go either east or south. Both paths lead to warp panels. The correct path is the east one, where we'll find warp panels leading south in rows of 3 warp panels. Blocking those is a grunt:

Team Delta Grunt (Lv65 Tropius, Lv66 Drapion) Prize: P2112

Blocking the other warp panels to the south is an Admin. 

Team Delta Admin (Lv67 Lucario, Goodra) Prize: P2144

After defeating the grunt, skip the first warp panel and use the one in the middle. 

[Row #2]
We'll land on the left warp panel. Use the middle one here. It'll take us back up to the first row, landing on the right warp panel. Use it to return to Row #2, landing on the middle panel and allowing us to use the one on the right.

[Row #3]
We land on the middle panel here. Use the one on the left.

[Row #4]
Landing on the right panel. You'll be able to weave your way south to reach that item in the bottom right corner - Max Elixir. Then use the left warp panel. 

We are now on the western side of this area. That item nearby is a Nugget. South are 3 warp panels and below them is a closed grey door. Taking the middle warp panel leads to a battle:

Team Delta Grunt (Lv67 Skarmory) Prize: P2144

...and a dead end. So use the one on the right. 

Team Delta Grunt (Lv66 Aggron) Prize: P2112

Another panel. In the next room we'll see Trevor and Cybil facing Galen and Chloris on the left side. Make your way round. Got a couple of Admins to deal with. 

Team Delta Admin (Lv69 Golurk, Sharpedo) Prize: P2208

Team Delta Admin (Lv70 Garchomp) Prize: P2240

Past the Admins is a grunt on the left, with a closed door further left. We're making our way to the upper right, there are 2 warp panels waiting.

Team Delta Grunt (Lv66 Salazzle, Lv67 Glalie) Prize: P2144

The correct warp panel is the one on the right. Using the left one takes us to a small room which is on the left of the area where everyone is. In the room next to the one we're in, guess who's in there? Absolve. 

Using that right warp panel takes us to a corridor which is above the room (led to by that left warp panel).

Team Delta Grunt (Lv68 Granbull) Prize: P2176

Past the grunt, we'll see Absolve to the south of us. Further left is Kasper. Continue north to another warp panel. This one takes us to where Trevor and Cybil are. The game tells us that this is where we'll make a major decision which determines the future storyline:

Choose YES for "Normal Storyline"
Choose NO for "Special Storyline"

For this main game file I'll play through the Normal Storyline and then we'll dive into the Special Storyline later. I really hope both are good haha okay, Normal Storyline!

**NORMAL STORYLINE**
====================

The game acknowledges our decision. Trevor tells us to go ahead to find Kasper, him and Cybil will stay behind to battle Galen and Chloris. 

Team Delta Admin Prize: P2176
(Lv66 Scizor, Lv67 Barbaracle, Houndoom, Lv68 Tyranitar)

Team Delta Admin Prize: P2176
(Lv66 Weavile, Lv68 Metagross, Lv67 Crobat, Mienshao) 

We reach the room where Absolve is standing by a closed door. Seems her ninja skills can't help her open it. We'll have to find a switch that could do the job. Use the warp panel next to her. 

We're now in the farthest south side of this area. 

Team Delta Grunt (Lv65 Spiritomb, Lv67 Exploud) Prize: P2144

Team Delta Admin Prize: P2176
(Lv65 Lopunny, Lv67 Lanturn, Lv68 Crobat, Lv66 Whimsicott)

There's a warp panel right next to her. Takes us back to a previous part of this area. The switch is behind us, interact with the machine. Now all those closed doors have been opened. Excellent. Use the panel to return to where we found Absolve. Nope, she hasn't gone home...she'll be back to confront Kasper with us. This mini arc where we're stuck with this girl exposes how much of an idiot our character is /==./ just read the dialogue. Cool factor gone right out the window. But enough of that, we got a boss to beat.

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Golden Trio Kasper Prize: P5840
(Lv72 Salamence, Ferrothorn, Excadrill, Kingdra Lv73 Pangoro, M. Houndoom)

Kasper doesn't understand why we're so determined to stop Team Delta. We tell him that as much as we wanted to finish the project, we didn't want it to harm people...so we decided to finish it. Kasper looks to be on the path to changing his ways, still hoping to be our friend-- but there's always a bigger boss - the masked woman appears, with a couple of Dark Worker grunts. Kasper paid the Dark Workers to work for Team Delta but the masked woman just paid them more. Kasper thinks he can escape by helicopter, but the pilot is gone...we find out that Galen has joined the side of the masked woman. Chloris arrives to reveal that Galen has defected. In the end Kasper tells us and Absolve to escape via the helicopter, he's going to stay behind to fight the masked woman. The secret base has been rigged to blow! We escape in the helicopter, while Chloris finds her way out of the base just before it explodes. The Power Capsule we spent all that time trying to retrieve, gone :/  

Wouldn't you know it, the helicopter malfunctions while we're airborne. 

When we wake up, we meet Salchimia. He tells us that we were found unconscious on a beach. No idea what has happened to Trevor and company. He gives us HM08 (Dive) that he got from a certain gardener. He then says that someone is waiting to see us downstairs. 

We are in the Sunlight Inn in Cosmos Village. Downstairs we see Eliza. She is aware about our Team Delta secret base mission, asks about Trevor but we don't know. We tell her what happened. Get that glass of water ready because once again we're told our help is needed but guess what, gotta "prove" ourselves. This is beyond stupid now.

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

PokeTrainer Eliza Prize: P4800
(Lv70 Whimsicott, Skarmory, Lv72 Blaziken, Dragalge, Lv71 Meowstic, Lv80 Eliza)(!?)

She believes that Cybil and Trevor are alive. Another Team Delta hideout has been found along a new path called Ulva Path. We'll need Dive to reach it. Chloris was seen there. Eliza is now a PokeRanger to assist in the rescue efforts. Absolve still wants to get involved. A PokeRanger arrives to let Eliza know that it is time to leave. She and Absolve will go on ahead.

So where is Ulva Path? Fly back to Purslane Village and from there surf east and dive into the first deep trench we'll find. Underwater continue east until you find a cave opening. Inside is a submarine - the Delta Explorer II. Surface here.

We'll see Eliza and Absolve outside the hideout. When you're ready, let's step inside.

TEAM DELTA HIDEOUT
------------------

(Main Area)

Some PokeRangers are battling grunts. One grunt is missing a battle partner.

Team Delta Grunt (Lv67 Medicham, Pyroar, Glalie) Prize: P2176

Eliza is busy with other grunts. No surprise, Absolve has gone off somewhere. Worst character since Cybil. There's an open doorway ahead of us. 

Team Delta Grunt (Lv66 Liepard, Lv67 Steelix, Absol) Prize: P2144

(Area 2)

This is a corridor with open rooms on our right. The first row of rooms we see are all the same, a room with a bed for healing your team. 

Team Delta Grunt Prize: P2176
(Lv66 Altaria, Walrein, Lv67 Drapion, Lv68 Dragalge)

The next row of rooms is to the south. We'll find Absolve here. She thought she would find treasures here but no luck...so for no good reason whatsoever she figures we should battle her. Down that glass of water.

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

PokeTrainer Absolve Prize: P4500
(Lv72 Klefki, Ninetales, Lv75 M. Lopunny, Lv73 Meowstic, Zoroark, Lv74 Kingdra)

Back to the main area. Now we can move into the right side of the room. There are ascending stairs waiting for us. 

Team Delta Grunt (Lv68 Skarmory, Lucario) Prize: P2176

(2nd Floor)

A couple of Admins ahead, either for a double battle or singles action.

Team Delta Admin (Lv68 Slaking, Conkeldurr, Lv69 Crobat) Prize: P2208

Team Delta Admin Prize: P2176
(Lv67 Arcanine, Gogoat, Lv68 Mienshao, Vanilluxe)

**NOTE: The game froze when I tried to talk to the grunt fighting the PokeRanger on the left from the 2 Admins. No dialogue from that PokeRanger, same with the other PokeRanger and grunt south from the Admins. 

There's a 3rd Admin. 

Team Delta Admin Prize: P2208
(Lv67 Persian, Absol, Gallade Lv69 Rhyperior, Lv68 Jolteon)

Before we can go through the doorway above us, a squad of 4 Admins appears from nowhere to confront us. Eliza and Absolve show up, Eliza defeats those Admins on her own. The Admins leave, going to warn the other members. Eliza says we should continue on to Chloris' room while she and Absolve face the remaining Team Delta people. 

In the next area we find 3 doorways. The middle and right side doorways lead to a bed for healing. The middle room also has a PC. The left doorway takes us to Chloris and Cybil! We've walked in on a conversation in progress: Chloris tells Cybil that she made a promise to Kasper to not betray him and she wants to keep the promise even though she's the only Team Delta higher up left. Cybil doesn't understand this, what about family? Chloris wants to continue fighting for Team Delta. She sees us, figuring out that Kasper saved us. We ask her what happened to Trevor, Chloris says he escaped with them but went off to find "The Shady" alone. She brought Cybil here since she was badly injured. Chloris is surprised that we found this place, we tell her about the PokeRangers and that we all came here to confirm if Cybil and Trevor were alive. We tell her to go home to her family, no point in continuing Team Delta operations. But that would be too easy, eh?

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Golden Trio Chloris Prize: P6000
(Lv72 Weavile, Lv73 Cinccino, Dragalge, Lv75 M. Ampharos, Lv74 Flygon, Klefki)

Chloris is in denial, not willing to accept that Team Delta is done. She tells us that Kasper knew more about us than we knew about him...we'll understand what that means in future. Eliza and Absolve join us, Chloris is under arrest. She yields and gives Absolve the Power Capsule. But now it's broken, a part of it was lost. Damn. She also gives Absolve a badge. It's not indicated to be a Gym Badge. Eliza is leaving with Chloris, going to court. Located in a place called Selaginella City. Absolve gives us some Sacred Ash after everything /==./ we speak to Cybil, but even after all this she still doesn't trust us. There's not a prayer in the world that can save this girl. She'll be going to Selaginella City for Chloris. After she leaves we make a note about "The Shady" (whom we identify as a man. Which is it, game, male or female??) and then we're joined by our favourite neighbourhood ninja guy. So good of you to join us, still not going to answer any of our questions about his "master" or the fact that Absolve knows him. It seems this "master" person is aware of our decision to go after "The Shady". 

On our way out we're stopped by Cybil...no, don't tell me...now that she's also got 7 Gym Badges like we do, why not have a battle? Here of all places. Great timing. 

>>RIVAL BATTLE<<
================

Pokemon Trainer Cybil Prize: P4560
(Lv73 Talonflame, Goodra Lv74 Drapion, Lucario, Lv75 Florges, Lv76 M. Sceptile)

Then she has a favour to ask us, but she still doesn't trust us, she wants to go with us to Selaginella City to save Chloris. Chloris left home 6 years ago to join Team Delta but we're not given the reason why exactly. An accident happened to Cybil, she was attacked by someone 6 years ago as well and a boy saved her. It's after this accident happened that Chloris left to join Team Delta. So Cybil became a Trainer and fight Team Delta in order to bring Chloris home. It really amazes me how even while in need of our help Cybil just cannot bring herself to trust us. Did we accidentally choose to rejoin Team Delta?? How much proof that we've changed does she need?? So help me if she'll want another battle when we're in Selaginella City...

To get there, we have to fly back to Crowfoot Village and head west. This time now that we can surf, we can explore the north section of Mt. Burvine. Get through the first area and surf across the water found in the 2nd area. On the other side will be an entrance to a small area where we'll find an ascending ladder. 

Pokemon Found
.............
Mudsdale, Zubat, Gurdurr, Goldbat, Duskull, Onix

To our right is water and an area north that we can't reach because of waterfalls. Funny thing is, if you continue south to the little portion of ground with sand on it, an arrow pops up as if there's an entrance. 

Go back until you're outside in the snowy area of Mt. Burvine. Remember that we couldn't continue west because the path was blocked? That's the path we're going for. 

PokeRanger Jerome Prize: P5520 [PokeNav]
(Lv68 Abomasnow, Lv69 Lapras, Rhyperior)

Twins Maya & Mia (Lv69 Gardevoir & Staraptor) Prize: P2208

CoolTrainer Madeline (Lv72 Tyranitar) Prize: P5760 [PokeNav]

We'll see Trevor ahead of us. He's got some evidence concerning "The Shady", but it's not enough. Then Cybil arrives, surprised to find Trevor. We've noticed that he's acting strangely, until he notices us and explains his findings. They failed to identify "The Shady" and perhaps that's the problem because what they've been encountering are fakes. Then we have "prove" ourselves to this guy, sure why not? What else is new??

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

PokeTrainer Trevor Prize: P4620
(Lv74 Gengar, Lv75 Mienshao, Gardevoir, Lv76 Pyroar, Leafeon, Lv77 M. Scizor)

Trevor believes that someone is trying to mislead them. Everything that happened - the PokeRangers finding the location of the Team Delta hideout and the arrest of Chloris - all this could be according to "The Shady's" plan. Trevor has asked for the assistance of a friend of Logan's, though reluctantly. Trevor will be waiting for us in Selaginella City. Cybil starts to think that maybe Chloris had her reasons for joining Team Delta. She asks us if we know who the person Trevor was talking about it, but we don't know except for a story we read in a newspaper some months ago. We get the same lines about Cybil wanting to work with us but still not trusting us, blah.

Furisode Girl Tori (Lv68 Mawile, Lv70 Azumarill) Prize: P1120

In a corner south from Tori is Energypowder. Continue north. Have a Pokemon that knows Rock Smash.

PokeBreeder Bruto (Lv71 Houndoom, Barbaracle) Prize: P5680 [PokeNav]

...until we reach Lichen River. You'll find a PP Up just to the left from the sign post and the woman near it. You have to surf left to reach it. Surfing up from where the PP Up is, you'll see a waterfall. Go to the right to see stairs leading to a cave opening that takes us back into Mt. Burvine. Inside is a descending ladder. Make sure you have a Pokemon that knows Strength.

(1st Area)

Psychic Kai (Lv71 Kadabra, Grumpig, Lv72 Dusclops) Prize: P5760

Going past Kai, you can see a familiar face. Zinnia. As cool as I think she is, I'm already not looking forward to talking to her because I'm willing to bet we'll just end up in yet another pointless battle /==./
fingers crossed we won't.

She's talking to her Whismur partner Aster, they've been waiting here for us after being told that we would be here. She sees us and says she needs our help...then she notices our Pokemon. Come on, Zinnia. 

>>TRAINER BATTLE<< 
==================

PokeTrainer Zinnia Prize: P4620
(Lv85 Whismur, Lv76 Tyrantrum, Altaria, Lv75 Goodra, Dragalge, Lv77 M. Salamence)

She's still on the search for Mega Rayquaza. What she wants us to do is go to the Lande region, where something is going on there. Then she realises that we don't have free time so she decides she'll have to ask Prof. Amala. Zinnia will be waiting for us in Lande. Off she goes. 

Go south where you have to clear some boulders and carry on west. An ice floor is waiting for us. It's not a puzzle like usual ice floor so no stress. Get to the other side and continue south. 

Hex Maniac Nancy (Lv71 Haunter, Lv72 Banette) Prize: P5760

The path winds up going west then north after Nancy. There's another ice floor, which leads to a Rare Candy, Lenny and an ascending ladder. North of the ice floor is a ladder heading to a level below. Don't go onto the ice floor yet, let's explore the area that descending ladder leads to. 

(2nd Area)

Pokemon Found
.............
Zubat, Gurdurr, Duskull, Geodude, Golbat, Onix, Mudbray, Aron

No ice here, it's as if we're in a regular cave. If you go all the way south you'll find water and a waterfall. This turns out to be the northern area we couldn't reach when we came through Mt. Burvine before because of the waterfall. Obviously don't go down the waterfall or you'll have to travel all the way back to that ice cave haha. Instead, surf east and north to find Carbos. Now, make your way to the top left wall of this area, where we'll find what looks like dots carved into the rock. In the older games these were the Braille messages which unlocked the 3 Regis, remember? For now we'll just make a note of this wall because nothing happens when we interact with the wall. Back to the ice cave. Cross that ice field, get the Rare Candy and continue east.

Scientist Lenny Prize: P5680
(Lv68 Salazzle, Lv69 Lairon, Lv70 Exploud, Lv71 Slaking)

The ascending ladder to the right from Lenny is our way out of this cave. 

LICHEN RIVER (Northside)
------------------------

Pokemon Found
.............
Snover, Vanillite, Sneasel, Swablu
(Surf) Goldeen

We'll meet the Lichen River again. Going down that southwest way leads to some Berry plants and a waterfall. Going south from the cave entrance we just out of will lead you to a Moon Stone. 

Surf north along the river, stay near the western bank and you'll spot some Stardust. Continue north until the river turns east and we touch land. The sign post points north for our destination. 

PokeFan Plum Prize: P5680
(Lv69 Azumarill, Lv70 Meowstic, Lv71 Pikachu)

Rich Boy Willington (Lv71 Jolteon, Lv72 Arcanine) Prize: P5760

We arrive to see Cybil and Trevor talking. Cybil might not get a chance to see Chloris again, but Trevor thinks there could be a way she can. They see us. There's no time to meet Chloris before the court trial...unless a woman named Frigus is brought into this situation. But Trevor says she won't help him. Cybil is willing to try anyway. This woman is at the court, Trevor will go with Cybil even though he doesn't have high hopes. They go off to the court. That lets us explore this place.

According to the woman outside the Gym, Frigus is the Gym Leader here and also a prosecutor. User of Ice-types. Also meaning yet another Gym we can't challenge right away :/

At the PokeCenter, speak to the woman in the middle of the room to teach a Pokemon Double-Edge. The other woman tells us that there are 2 Gyms here because both Gym Leaders are busy. Great. 

This place used to be called Burvine Village. Some time in the past there was a monster in Mt. Burvine which was taken care of by a man named Tyron. It disappeared along with him. 

The Heart Scale House is northwest from the Gym, the first house you'll reach at the top of the stairs. The woman in the kitchen sells Heart Scales for P100 each. 

Nothing else. Time to go to court. 

Inside we meet Cybil and Trevor again, still unable to meet Chloris. Frigus shows up. She's in charge of this case and despite Cybil's plea, she won't let her see her sister. Trevor convinces Frigus to change her mind and the woman surprises them by agreeing to help. Then she goes off to prepare evidence. This case is special to her too. After Trevor and Cybil leave, go up the stairs and enter the door on the left. We'll find everyone waiting: Tyra, Jacob and Siena. The court session begins:

We'll see the Lawyer representing Chloris. Frigus presents evidence which proves that Chloris is guilty. No response from her Lawyer. The Judge is ready to lay down the verdict-- suddenly everyone's favourite gardener Wind shows up, to announce that there's a witness present who can testify - us. Wind was told to do this by "that man" a.k.a Siru (probably not his full name because every time he says it, he cuts off). Wind tells us to show that button (remember the button? Got it AGES ago??) to the court and testify that it belongs to "The Shady". Then Wind leaves again to meet with "that man" and continue what he does best. He'd rather water his flowers than be here. We show the button to the Judge, but they aren't convinced that it counts as evidence for this case. Again before they can get to the verdict there's a disruption and the masked man/woman appears. They're not too happy to see that we have the button, so they're going to take it back along with Tyra and Chloris. They can't release their real power without Chloris. We step up to face this villain. 

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Dark Royalty Prize: P324
(Lv78 Klefki, Lv79 Metagross, Houndoom, Lv81 Mewtwo, Lv80 Spiritomb, Salamence)

Aaaand they're gone, with Tyra and Chloris. Trevor wonders what the importance of the button is. Cybil's in a state but what can we do? Eliza calls us via the PokeNav, telling us to head over to Wisteria Falls...as per instruction from "that man". She has found a strange room that Wind told her we would know of. That's where Eliza will be waiting. Trevor believes that prosecutor Grima (who is also this "Siru" guy) knows what to do. Siena reveals that Tyron is an ancestor of Jacob. Jacob says he'll have to call Latios back while Siena gets Latias. No change with Cybil, still wants our help but still won't trust us. 

Fly back to Calligonum Town and make your way back into Wisteria Cave and the place where we found Tyra. Eventually we'll meet up with Eliza, Jacob and Siena. Trevor brought Eliza up to speed on what happened. He has gone on to help "that man". This place looks like a big lab, Jacob wonders why "The Shady" needs this place. We recognise this lab - when we were still working for Team Delta, we built a similar lab for Mega Evolving Mewtwo. "The Shady" could be trying to do the same thing here. This is confirmed by the arrival of a group of Dark Workers, led by our former assistant Armando! Wow, look at you haha you've certainly moved up in the world. He restarted the project with help from the masked person. Eliza, Siena and Jacob will face these goons so we can carry on forward. At the northern end of this place is the masked person. Just when it looks like we'll be facing them alone, here comes Cybil. The masked person reveals a major trump card - Mewtwo X! Here we go again!

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Dark Royalty (Lv70 Mewtwo X) Prize: P280

Gotta have a sequel, here comes Mewtwo Y.

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Dark Royalty (Lv70 Mewtwo Y) Prize: P280

Had enough yet? 

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Dark Royalty (Lv70 Mewtwo Y) Prize: P280

Cybil is defeated, as for us despite beating Mewtwo in a hattrick the story has us on the ropes. The masked person sends for a Dark Worker grunt to take Cybil away. Now is the time for the big reveal from the masked person, to tell us everything: they told the PokeRangers the location of Team Delta's base. All so that Chloris can be caught because it would be easier for the masked person to capture her. They go on to say that there are people born with special powers - the masked person is such a person and they need to gather other people like them in order to become stronger. It's why they chose Chloris and Kasper's child (oO?) the masked person tried to get them years in the past but Jacob saved them. This is the masked person's last chance. They have Chloris and will absorb her power with a special machine. The button we have is the key of that machine. A Dark Worker grunt shows up to take us away, though they are late. We leave with them and once we are out of the masked person's earshot, the grunt reveals their true identity - Sirus! Now using an alias Grima. This is his chance to stop "The Shady", to save his friend (Logan) and prove his innocence, but we tell him that we can't stop the buffed up Mewtwo. Sirus says there's another gate, which leads to a generator that powers the machine which is powering up Mewtwo. Sirius heals our Pokemon. He'll be waiting for us there with the others. 

**NOTE: I went back to speak to the masked person. They just battle us again and again with Mewtwo Y. Good thing I saved BEFORE going to talk to them, so don't make the mistake of going back there. 

Leave the lab and go north to enter another area. We'll meet Sirus again. He told the others to take on the Dark Workers so that we can go for the generator. Still no information on who "The Shady" really is, that's the big obstacle Sirius and everyone are facing. We have to find out who they are. Sirus goes on ahead.

(Lv72 Furfrou, Lv73 Umbreon, Lv74 Zoroark)

Trevor and Eliza, present.

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv75 Tyranitar) Prize: P6000

We finally catch up to Armando and his squad. He won't let us interfere with the project-- ninja guy shows up, early for a change. Before he can go ahead to switch off the generator, the DW grunts who are with Armando confront him. We have Armando. 

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Dark Worker Armando Prize: P6400
(Lv78 Shedinja, Medicham, Clawitzer, Lv79 Houndoom, Golurk, Lv80 M. Alakazam)

Ninja man defeats the DW grunts and tells us that he has completed his mission. What mission? Gone. Armando accepts his loss. He has no idea if we'll meet again but he lets us go on to the generator. He tells us not to step on the special floor of the generator before rescuing our friends. That floor is a trap set by "The Shady". Turns out they are looking for us because just like Chloris we also have potential power (oo!?) but "The Shady" was unaware of this until recently. Stepping on the floor will allow them to absorb our power. Also, the switch of the generator just so happens to be on that floor. We have to rescue Chloris first. Oh, and Armando knows the identity of "The Shady" but won't tell us /==./ even though he willingly told us all this other important information. He goes on about the truth being cruel and that is something we should find out the identity on our own. Continue on to the next room.

Here we find Cybil, Chloris and Tyra. They were unconscious until we came in. But they are alright. Sirus/Grima joins us. He wants the generator turned off, but we tell him that we can't do it. We tell them about us being like Chloris and about the floor trap. Sirus leaves with Chloris and Tyra while we deal with the generator. We got that magical button and use it to switch off the generator. Now we can face the masked person again and unmask them. 

Back in the lab, just before we confront the masked person, Cybil and Sirus arrive to team up with us. We tell the masked person that the generator is off now and Mewtwo returns to its normal form. Big battle up ahead!

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Dark Royalty Prize: P324
(Lv79 Talonflame, Heracross, Lv81 Mewtwo, Tyrantrum, Lv80 Zoroark, Lv82 Sharpedo)

The masked person loses control of Mewtwo, allowing it to escape. Cybil tells them to unmask - we get Galen! Dun dun duuuun!! Wow. Who saw that one coming?? He confesses everything, it was all him. Sirus can't believe it, Cybil is shocked. Galen is ready to be arrested, he's bragging about it. He is taken away and the evidence is enough to prove that he is "The Shady"...but this doesn't seem satisfactory. Could this be part of another plan?

Eliza and everyone else joins us, aware that we defeated "The Shady". They're all shocked too. Sirus thinks perhaps they made a mistake about this. How could Galen have acted as 2 people at the same time? We've seen him and "The Shady" in the same room. Trevor wonders if the real "Shady" might have escaped already before we unmasked Galen. Sirus tries to gather information based on what we've experienced so far. Starting with Trevor, then us...the game shows us clips of dialogue from people we've encountered at some point. For us we point out one person - Tyra! The plot thickens, good grief. Sirus thinks she could be in the courtroom back in Selaginella City, as a witness who can prove that Galen is "The Shady". 

Fortunately we reappear in the courtroom (not having to travel all the way back there haha). Tyra is there, glad that we caught "The Shady". We ask her for the truth. She doesn't know, but she does admit that she told "The Shady" about the project. She is not "The Shady". Sirus and Cybil don't believe her though, but Tyra stands her ground, asking for evidence. Sirus shows her the button, having noticed that she is missing one from her sleeve. Then everything goes belly up, Tyra shows her true colours and turns heel! Unbelievable. Mewtwo X appears behind Tyra, surprising everyone. It didn't lose control, Tyra had a plan which involved Galen allowing Mewtwo to escape so that it would end up with her. Saying hello to the new bad guy...well, bad girl. Very bad girl.

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Shady Tyra Prize: P6640
(Lv81 Gengar, Aurorus, Altaria Lv82 Blastoise, Heliolisk Lv83 Mewtwo X)

Tyra will not back down, Mewtwo changes into Mewtwo Y. Here comes Round 2.

Shady Tyra Prize: P6640
(Lv81 Staraptor, Arcanine, Aggron, Lv82 Drapion, Garchomp, Lv83 Mewtwo Y)

She tries to have Mewtwo destroy things but the Pokemon loses its power. Then it disappears. The woman goes into a spiral of denial and completely losing it. Cybil recognises her as the attacker from years ago, who was targeting Chloris. Everything now makes sense for Cybil as all the pieces fall into place. Tyra is arrested, vowing to never forgive us and we do admit that despite what she did, she was also our assistant. Now Logan can be released. We didn't plan to be a Trainer but now we've become one. 

We'll be outside the PokeCenter. If you need to heal up and gear up, do so. When you're ready, let's go to the Gym. Just as we reach the entrance, we're stopped by ninja dude. We still haven't learned how this guy operates because again we ask him about this "master" who seems to have an eye on our activities and again ninja dude won't tell us anything. What's new this time? Oh yeah, another battle where we have to "prove" ourselves to someone /==./

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Ninja ??? Prize: P1640
(Lv81 Crobat, Scizor, Umbreon, Gallade Lv82 M. Sableye)

He says his master will be pleased. We ask him about Absolve, how the 2 of them know each other. Ninja dude confirms that he and Absolve know each other but he is different from her - she's free, not answering to anyone while he is not. He has missions. Good news is Absolve has gone home, so she's safe. Then he gives us HM07 (Waterfall). He's certain we'll meet again. Gone. 

SELAGINELLA CITY Gym
--------------------

Leader: Frigus - "A Ruthless Prosecutor Who Rules the Trial!"

This is an Ice-type Gym, so of course we have an ice floor. Also seems to be a library because the people we meet as we make our way north are busy. Eventually we'll reach Frigus and the legendary Pokemon by her side - Articuno! /OO!/ incredible. She heard about us stopping "The Shady". The charges Chloris is facing will be dropped. Rather than just get on with battling us, she wants us to go through a bloody quiz. Now we have to go back and talk to all those people. You can't be serious. Didn't we already go through another Gym that had a quiz system??

Fly back to Dandelion Village and get through Fluorescent Jungle. Now that we can surf, any items that we couldn't reach before you can grab them along the way now.

Cybil, who has FINALLY turned over for the better as a character, shows up. Now that Chloris is safe and sound, she can focus on the League. Rival Mode On!

>>RIVAL BATTLE<<
================

Pokemon Trainer Cybil Prize: P5280
(Lv85 Talonflame, Lv86 Goodra, Drapion Lv87 Lucario, Florges, Lv88 M. Sceptile)

She's not angry about losing. There's always next time. Whenever we need some help, Cybil says she'll be available. Then she's gone. 

IVARA LEAGUE HQ
---------------

Inside we'll find Prof. Amala and Champion Salchimia. Is there a meeting? Nope. Turns out this was an idea that Amala and Prof. Ivan came up with when they found us in the forest. All so they can cheer us up. Really? Terrible. Talk about an anticlimax. Worse still, even though we know she clearly lied we let it slide *face palm* She reminds us about why she has 8 Gym Badges, about wanting to be Champion...then she reveals that she was the Champion. This doesn't make things better for you as a character, Professor haha. Oh, then she heals our team and battles us. Couldn't this wait until AFTER the League??

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

PokeTrainer Amala Prize: P5340
(Lv86 Gyarados, Lv87 Vanilluxe, Skarmory Lv88 Tyrantrum, Ferrothorn, Lv89 M. Aggron)

She'll continue her research into Mega Evolution. She's going back to the lab. 

There's also a restaurant here...? (oO?) okay? It's definitely something new haha, I'll give it that much.

To the left is the PokeCenter station and someone blocking an escalator leading to what seems to be a place to trade Pokemon. When you don't have Mega Evolution-capable Pokemon or a Mega Stone with you, I think she won't be there. When you're ready, it's time to face the Elite 4.

In the next area we'll find an elevator. Our options are 5 Floors. 1st floor being the current one. Great to see the Elite 4 can be challenged in any order. 

(2nd Floor)

We meet Harmon here, part Trainer...part Gunslinger..? Let's go!

Elite 4 Stonewall Prize: P7360
(Lv87 Shedinja, Dragalge, Lv91 Gengar, Lv88 Golurk, Spiritomb, Lv92 M. Banette)

We'll go back into the elevator, taking us to the top floor. Prepare yourself before entering the room where the Champ is, because inside you'll go straight to talk to him automatically. 

Nothing important from him in the pre-battle speech, except that he didn't expect that we would get here. Dude, after everything we've been through you REALLY are taking us lightly, eh? Could you shine that Championship title up for us, please? We'll be leaving with it just now :)

>>CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE<<
=======================

Champion Salchimia Prize: P7760
(Lv94 Primarina, Hoopa (oO?), Lv95 Goodra, Umbreon, Lv97 M. Salamence, Lv96 Mienshao)

**NOTE: Is Hoopa a Fakemon? Despite not knowing a lot of the Pokemon from Gen 4 to 7, I can't say I've heard or seen one called Hoopa haha.

Congratulations! We've become the new Ivara region's Champion!

After the battle we're joined by a special guest - Cybil. She was given 2 tickets for a ship to the Lande region. Something strange is going on there so Cybil is going over to investigate. She'll wait for us back in Sorrel Village, where she'll give us the ticket. Can't give it to us here...? Then we enter the Hall of Fame room. We'll be given the option to skip the credits. Very nice. But the game doesn't automatically save if you skip the credits, though.

We'll wake up back in our room in Sorrel Village. On our way out we meet Cybil again who then gives us the Lande Ticket. The ship we will be boarding is in Spirulina City. Remember the S.S. Arrow? That one. 

Speak to the blue-haired woman standing near the ship, show her the ticket. Here comes Cybil, who should've been waiting for us here. She has something to tell us about Logan - he has been released. The prison is in the Lande region. We wonder if perhaps Tyra/"The Shady" could've been sent there. 

We arrive in a place called Alocasia Town. Cybil is talking to a man who tells her that she is now a member of the Adventurers' Club. Not a decision Cybil made, this man made it for her. Then he sees us and no surprise we're roped into nonsense too. Plus a random battle /==./

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Adventurer ??? Prize: P7200
(Lv87 Jolteon, Lv88 Conkeldurr, Slowking Lv89 Flygon, Skarmory, Lv90 M. Gyarados)

After the battle he gives us a team badge and tells us his name, Culter - Lande's most famous adventurer. And clearly someone who doesn't know the word No. With the team badge, the Adventurers' Club function is now activated and we can communicate with adventurers from other regions and they may invite us to their regions. He also gives us the Advanced Lande Map, which lets us use Fly here. Then he leaves. 

Cybil wants us to reach the prison but she doesn't know where it is located. According to the map the nearest city is Asparagus City. That's where she'll meet us.

Who are these adventurers anyway? We got a whole town of them. In the house on the left from the PokeCenter/Mart there's an old man who'll teach your Pokemon the move Substitute. 

At the Adventurers' Club we'll learn about a Mr. Xander and Ms. Effie who are looking for new members. The Chairman of this club is here too and he tells us about his younger days - travelled around a place called Belladonna Town and heard from a friend about a special area in a forest. This place he eventually found, it has rare Pokemon. There's also a cave there too. If we're lucky enough to find this place, we can Fly there. Noted. 

** Unknown secret place unlocked.

We're done here. Leave town via the north path, going onto Sedge Path. 

SEDGE PATH

If you noticed the item which was in the northeast corner above Alocasia Town, you can reach it by winding round along this path and heading south back into town. It is Iron.

Cybil assures Chloris that she doesn't have to worry about her any more now that "The Shady" is gone. Chloris is proud of her, seeing that she has become a good Trainer. Perhaps now they can stay together and reconnect. She thanks us for saving them. She asks for our forgiveness, we give it to her. All is right in the world, right? Right? No, gotta celebrate Chloris' freedom somehow...

In the house directly southwest from the PokeCenter/Mart the man there is will give you a Kingdra Doll. 

At the Adventurers' Club, speak to the chef. He shows us a map that he drew, showing an island he discovered many years ago. It is near this city. 

** Unknown secret place unlocked.

Can't enter the Aquarium, we'll have to go to the Gym first. So let's go there. 

Just as we reach the door, out comes Cybil. Surprise, the Gym Leader, Veronika, isn't there. Some things never change, even when we are in a different region haha. She is at the Aquarium. 

Got P50? That's the entrance fee at the Aquarium. We meet Veronika, Cybil and Chloris. She knows who we are and about our research. Her boyfriend was a fan of ours, but the boyfriend can't be here. Too much of this nonsense where a character brings up something that would be important but doesn't go into details /==./ enough! She's also a researcher. Why does she believe that something will happen? Veronika saw the Pokemon Deoxys here and found a meteorite after it disappeared. It was green when she found it but after she picked it up its colour changed. We've never seen anything like it but can guess it could have some power like a Mega Stone. Then we're joined by a trio of Team Delta grunts. These clowns again? No surprise they're here for the meteorite. There's an Admin among them, she has unfinished business with Chloris. While the sisters battle the grunts, we face the Admin.

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Team Delta Admin Prize: P2944
(Lv97 Whismur, Lv91 Tyrantrum, Lv90 Altaria, Goodra, Lv92 M. Salamence, Lv89 Dragalge)

We have a good look at the Admin, she looks familiar. She denies it. Time to go back to their hideout, located on Betel Path. That's where we'll meet her again. Chloris doesn't know who she is but she does know about the hideout, it was built several years ago. Veronika is going to hold onto the meteorite. If we want her Badge (why?) she tells us to visit the Gym as soon as possible because she'll be leaving for Belladonna Town later. Chloris will wait for Cybil at the Gym. Cybil is back in Rival Mode because now that we're in a new region, the hunt for Gym Badges begins again /==./ don't we have more important things to do here than chase after more Badges?? Is there another League we have to prepare for?? Come on.

ASPARAGUS CITY Gym
------------------

Leader: Veronika - "A Strong-willed & Powerful Scholar."

We're told by the Gym guide that there are robots we have to switch off before we can reach Veronika.

==============

Leader Veronika Prize: P7520 + Scholar Badge + TM04 (Calm Mind)
(Lv92 Scizor, Lv93 Zoroark, Garchomp, Lv94 Arcanine, M. Absol, Spiritomb) 

I still think it's ridiculous that we're back to collecting Gym Badges when we're here to find out what's going on. No problem if we were just getting to battle this region's Gym Leaders for EXP. Anyway, looks like we're done here. Leave town and head east to where we found Culter in the middle of another recruitment drive. The boy is annoyed and leaves. Culter now wants us to help him recruit that boy /==./ just in time to stop this is a woman named Era, yet another adventurer. Culter runs off after being told off by her, because we somehow can't do that on our own. Terrible. She notices the badge Culter gave us and wants to give us another but we decline. She says he's a lousy leader but a good judge of people (really?) then we have to battle Era, because that's how we "greet" new characters, remember?

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Adventurer Era Prize: P7200
(Lv87 Vaporeon, Lv88 Slowbro, Lucario, Lv89 Gardevoir, Weavile, Lv90 M. Beedrill)

Then we find out that Era has recruited a new adventurer - Absolve. She's back. And you know what that means, another battle ahead. Maybe more than one. Hibiscus Path continues.

Only a couple of steps into town and we're stopped by Veronika. She tells us that the National Prison here and her boyfriend Louis is there. Damn, what he do?? She's going to see him. We're here to see the man regarded as the hero of the Sylon region, Logan. Veronika knows of him, thinking that maybe things will go well for him now that "The Shady" has been caught. She'll wait for us in the Detention Center. 

Apparently there used to be an ancient castle in this town, haunted by ghosts, but it vanished 50 years ago. It was near the National Prison. Some prisoners disappeared along with the castle. Odd.

No Adventurers' Club here. Not sure if that's good or bad news haha. There is a house which used to be the Adventurers' Club place but the people there now are just ghost story fans. 

People have seen many Shuppet here. Spirits of the dead? Someone caught one but it disappeared when he tried to register it in his PokeDex. 

At the Pokemon Connoisseur's House, the woman here can evaluate your Pokemon's Effort Value. She could tell you the Identity Value but apparently it's "immoral", because some Trainers abandoned their Pokemon after finding out that they didn't have good IVs. Pretty stupid on both sides /==./ 

On the way north from that house we bump into another new character, using the sprite of what looks like the Black/White male playable character. He just thanks us and walks off. Who, what, where?? We'll reach the National Prison next. 

NATIONAL PRISON
---------------

We find Veronika, Elijah, Sirus and Prof. Ivan (been a while). Problem - Logan isn't here! Seems he already left without letting everyone know. We wonder if the boy we just saw outside could've been him. Elijah and Prof. Ivan leave to find him. Veronika returns to the Gym. Sirus knows we would like to see Tyra. He has arranged everything so we just have to wait. While we wait, ANOTHER new character shows up. A woman with blue hair and a flower in it. She asks Sirus where Logan is, but he tells her what has happened and introduces us to her. This is Nicole, Logan's friend....and the current Lande region Champion. She didn't want to be that but in order to try and save Logan, she got strong enough. We give her some hope, maybe they will meet again sooner or later. 

Tyra joins us, thinking we're here to make fun of her current situation. We ask her why the Dark Workers worked for her. She has nothing to lose now so she spills the beans: the Dark Workers lost their boss 2 years ago, he's also an inmate here. Sent here by a boy. Tyra promised to help the Dark Workers, save their boss and assist them in catching Rayquaza. Why? Tyra just goes on saying she helped them locate it but they are too weak to catch it on their own. She would've been able to catch it if she had absorbed our power. We ask her why she became "The Shady", but time is up and she returns to her room. Sirus won't feel sorry for Tyra and thinks we should do the same. But she was our assistant and wonder if what is going here could be linked to her past. 

Time to leave. There are 2 paths open. North leads to Eucheuma Path and the sea. East leads to Clover Path and Betel Path, where the Team Delta hideout is located.

Up the stairs to reach the door. It's an elevator door. Once we step out in the actual building, we're "welcomed" by a grunt.

South are 2 paths, left one and right one. Taking the left one...

Team Delta Grunt Prize: P2720
(Lv83 Manectric, Lv84 Aerodactyl, Lv85 Medicham

Taking the right one...

Team Delta Grunt (Lv85 Exeggutor, Lv86 Lucario) Prize: P2752

South of both grunts are 3 rooms. All empty. Carry on to find 2 more grunts on opposite sides. One on the left...

Team Delta Grunt Prize: P2720
(Lv83 Aromatisse, Lv84 Gallade, Lv85 Spiritomb)

One on the left...

Team Delta Grunt (Lv85 Gyarados, Lv86 Goodra) Prize: P2752

South from them are 2 rooms and an Admin. 

Team Delta Admin Prize: P2752
(Lv84 Alakazam, Lv86 Grumpig, Gardevoir, Lv85 Vespiquen)

Room on the right is empty. In the left one we'll find Cybil and Chloris, battling a couple of grunts. We move on to meet the new leader of Team Delta - the girl we've known all along as Absolve! /OO!/ Shocking. Absolutely shocking. She brings up the gold badge that Chloris gave her a while back, Absolve was planning to sell it back home but a Team Delta member saw her and thought she's the new leader *face palm* being able to buy stuff like Dolls was enough to lure Absolve into the group. Cybil (even though it happened after a long time) changed for the better as a character. Can't say the same for Absolve. Now it looks like she's part of a new Golden Trio. 

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Golden Trio Absolve Prize: P7280
(Lv88 Klefki, Lv89 Meowstic, Ninetales Lv90 Kingdra, Zoroark, Lv91 M. Lopunny)

We try to dissuade her from being the leader, since this clearly not a joke. Chloris and Cybil defeat the grunts and reach us, surprised to see Absolve. Chloris believes that the grunts only recognise her as their leader because of the badge she gave Absolve. She didn't expect this to happen. Maybe you shouldn't have given such an important item to a child? The idea of Absolve being the leader is from the Admin standing next to her, this is the same Admin we met at the Asparagus Aquarium. She reveals her true identity - Zinnia! Man, surprise x surprise x surprise. Why did she try to steal the meteorite? She says it is linked to Rayquaza's Mega Evolution. Dark Workers are also looking for it so she wanted to make sure they don't get it. Then she says she doesn't want it right now /==./ she only tried to take it so that we would come here. How does that make any sense? Someone wants to meet us - who can forget that red suit? Team Magma Leader Maxie! Okay, great roll we're on with these surprises haha thumbs up. Zinnia introduces us to him, certain that we can help. Maxie isn't convinced...in simpler language this means...

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Magma Leader Maxie Prize: P7520
(Lv92 Golurk, Flygon, Lv94 M. Camerupt, Lv93 Crobat, Pyroar, Houndoom)

Maxie reveals why he is here, for Rayquaza. Apparently has the power to change the world and that makes it a target for people. The Dark Workers want this power. Maxie believes nobody should control the power so he is here to make sure that happens. Zinnia adds that they decided to collaborate with Team Delta because the organisation has been trying to research Mega Evolution. She lets Absolve be their leader so that they can fight the Dark Workers. You can't be serious. Great job, leaving a big organisation like this in the hands of a child. No credible adults left to do the job?? Beyond stupid.

Zinnia and Maxie leave. Doesn't help that Cybil now wants to be rivals with Absolve. Let's just leave please.

The Gym Leader here, Gunter, was a Lande Army general in the past. There is/was a Lande Army? Apparently he's strict and is a good time manager.

This town's ancestors built this place to honour Celebi, which rescued them. In the house on the right from the PokeCenter/Mart you can get a Florges Doll.

At the Adventurer's Club, speak to the PokeRanger woman: she heard from a friend that there is an island near this town. Quite small, nobody knows where it is. She can't go to it because her Pokemon can't Fly to it, so maybe we can.

** An unknown secret place was unlocked.

Outside the Gym we meet the new rivals Absolve and Cybil, their quest to one-up each other in full force. Absolve got the Badge before Cybil and now we've been roped into this nonsense. Good news is they both leave, no battle...bad news is we're then joined by the ninja man. This time he's the one asking the question, wanting to know why Absolve is in Lande. We tell him about her being the new Team Delta leader and now becoming a Trainer. Ninja man doesn't have to worry about her. We ask him why he's here and what his "master" has him doing this time. This "master" will meet us someday (finally?). We get the Go-Goggles from the ninja. Then he's gone.

We learn about the Lande Skyscraper, on top of which is the Lande League. Possibly another Victory Road, anyone? 

There are Alolan Pokemon in this region. 

The Gym Leader here, a woman named Lalum, is also an adventurer. Best one in Lande. 

The desert we just got through has a guardian living in a place called Einsam Canyon. This same Pokemon created Baobab Lake. 

Nobody knows the location of the 8th Gym. 

Another new character we hear about, a female Trainer named Chronya. She is from Western Tyron. Speak to the PokeRanger guy in the house in the northwest part of town. He was defeated by her in the desert but was given a Pokemon. A Rowlet. Have some room in your Party. She is the new champion of a place called Challenge Bridge. 

Leaving town from the east or west leads into Kreis Plain. The entrances to the Kreis Ruins are here, built 3000 years ago by unknown beings. Aside from the wild Pokemon found there, nothing we can do for now.

Pokemon Found
.............
Smeargle, Lairon, Haunter, Unown, Klefki

Leaving north leads into a cutscene - we are stopped by a silver-haired woman who knows who we are. She notices that we don't have the Wilderness Badge. She won't let us pass until we get it from here. Great, another rival /==./

BAOBAB CITY Gym
---------------

Leader: Lalum - "The Queen of Adventurers."

The Gym resembles an old temple, holes in the floor and all. So we have this area and the basement. Lalum is in the north section of the basement. Interact with the statues found in the basement to return to the surface. The following are the main floor Gym Trainers: 

Rich Boy Aaron (Lv83 Golurk, Houndoom, Lv84 Mudsdale) Prize: P6720

To the right from him is what would normally be a Fossil but it is a statue which has to be removed by finding a button for it. Go left from him and move up. 

Hiker Grossburg (Lv83 Aggron, Lv84 Flygon) Prize: P6720

Continue north. 

CoolTrainer Karpman (Lv85 Shiinotic, Lv86 Rhyperior) Prize: P6880

CoolTrainer Naomi Prize: P6800
(Lv83 Camerupt, Lv84 Drapion, Metagross, Lv85 Conkeldurr)

Then down into the basement we go: 

Gentleman Larry (Lv87 Magnezone) Prize: P6960

Lady Felicia (Lv84 Scizor, Lv85 Golem, Salazzle) Prize: P6800

Blackbelt Yama (Lv84 Aggron, Lv85 Crawdaunt) Prize: P6800

The idea is to find the holes which drop you near the basement statues which are closed off, surrounded by rocks. Those statues remove the "Fossils" on the surface and reveal new holes. The hole needed is the one which will be revealed just to the right from Naomi. We'll land in the area where Lalum awaits.

>>GYM BATTLE<<
==============

Leader Lalum Prize: P7520 + Wilderness Badge + TM37 (Sandstorm)
(Lv92 Tyranitar, Mudsdale, Lv94 Garchomp, M. Aerodactyl, Metagross, Lv93 Lucario)

Now we can show our new Badge to that silver-haired woman outside town. She is Chronya! Current Champion of Western Tyron. Also Logan's bodyguard. His troubles started when "The Shady" killed an agent and Logan was framed. Chronya decided look after him ever since. But she's got time to bother us for an unnecessary battle...

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Tyron Master Chronya Prize: P8000
(Lv97 Gyarados, Lv98 M. Lopunny, Metagross Lv100 Silvally (??), Lv99 Garchomp, Primarina)

She was told about us and Cybil by someone who is an ally of ours, now she believes we can change the future. We receive a Master Ball from her, which she spent a million "Pokedollars" to get *face palm* pretty sure you got swindled, woman haha. No idea who this mysterious ally is.
Back into the desert we go. 

WELWITSCHIA DESERT (Continued)

Lairon, Drilbur, Cacturne, Golett

Same routine, go north. 

CoolTrainer Shelby (Lv87 Camerupt, Lv88 Mudsdale) Prize: P7040

Hiker Loro (Lv86 Aurorus, Lv88 Aggron) Prize: P7040

Furisode Girl Mandy Prize: P1376

We'll reach Einsam Canyon. 

EINSAM CANYON
-------------

Pokemon Found
.............
Drilbur, Salazzle, Dusclops, Golurk, Duskull

We're found by Cybil, she has some news: Veronika found something in the Einsam Ruins. Absolve and Culter are there too...if that's not bad enough, Dark Workers are also present. Lalum shows up, warning us that the place is dangerous...but we have to go. She goes on ahead. Cybil too. There are 3 entrances into the ruins. Doesn't matter which one you use. 

EINSAM RUINS
------------

Pokemon Found
.............
Excadrill, Unown, Banette, Graveler, Vibrava, Rhydon, Cacturne

In the main area we'll see Veronika and Absolve battling grunts. Absolve is in trouble, so we step in. 

Dark Worker Grunt Prize: P7040
(Lv86 Salazzle, Lv87 Lanturn, Lv88 Spiritomb)

Dark Worker Grunt Prize: P7040
(Lv86 Magnezone, Lv88 Jolteon, Ludicolo, Lv87 Pinsir)

The grunts leave. Absolve is grateful, now able to heal her Pokemon. 

I found this grunt while making my way south along the eastern side. 

Dark Worker Grunt Prize: P6960
(Lv86 Drapion, Lv87 Medicham, Heliolisk)

This one ambushed me on my way west to help Veronika.

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv87 Ribombee, Klefki) Prize: P6960

We reach her and face the grunts. 

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv87 Aggron, Lv88 Dusknoir) Prize: P7040

Dark Worker Grunt Prize: P7040
(Lv86 Shelgon, Lv87 Tangrowth, Lv88 Gallade)

After those 2 leave, Veronika tells us what she is doing here. Her assistants found some meteorites here. They looked like the one she found in Asparagus City. She leaves to heal her Pokemon. 

I was still ambushed by another grunt even when Veronika is gone. 

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv88 Excadrill, Decidueye) Prize: P7040

Make you way to the northwestern corner of this place to find Cybil, Lalum and Culter. He reveals that the guardian Pokemon, Tapu Bulu, has gone missing. Lalum is shocked. A voice chimes in to say it can help - voice of Mewtwo! With everything that has happened in this game, one can be forgiven for forgetting that Mewtwo can talk haha. Mewtwo says it has caught Tapu Bulu as an act of revenge against us. Our apology doesn't help. Mewtwo learned from "The Shady" how to survive and now it has caught 2 guardians of this region. No choice. 

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Boss Mewtwo (Lv100 Tapu Fini, Tapu Bulu, Mewtwo X) Prize: P8000

Mewtwo is unharmed, having made full use of the meteorites' power. Now it has its eyes on Rayquaza, so it can absorb its power and become practically invincible. Before Mewtwo can go berserk on us, ninja man appears and using an unknown ability (a blue light floods the screen) teleports us away. 

We appear in the secret base of ninja man's "master". Cybil asks if he knew about Mewtwo's appearance, but ninja man still doesn't know how to answer questions. He introduces her to someone who wants to speak to her - Engineer BC! He's glad to see how Cybil has grown as a Trainer and that she has made use of his Mega Stone. Then the "master" finally appears - "The Shady"...??! Well, he claims not to be "The Shady", despite the sprite haha and if he was, he wouldn't have asked Genba (our favourite ninja) to help us. He says he is not of this world (hmm, I know of a certain popular someone from a certain popular book who said the same thing...) and he wants us to save someone. Someone who doesn't exist in his world but is alive in this one - us. Huh? Oh, but he's not done...he tells us that he's from a "possible future", where he killed us /==./ this is getting a little convoluted. We ask him why he wants to save us now when he was the one who killed us. No straight answer like student, like "master". He's sure we have met in this world but (surprise, surprise) he can't tell us who he is. He was forced to kill us by someone else...but while we were dying we "freed" him (it isn't clear if he means forgiveness or the use of some kind of ability), and this is what brought him here. The joys of time-travel plots. He's on our side and wants to speak to us alone, so everyone else has to return to Baobab City. Genba teleports them away. Waste of time trying reason with "master", hoping he'll stop this nonsense and tell us who he is. In the end we're just teleported back to the entrance of the Einsam Ruins. 

Back in Einsam Canyon, we don't go back to Baobab City but continue north. Entering Equisetum Path. 

EQUISETUM PATH

No PokeCenter/Mart in this town :/ you heal your Pokemon at the Inn.

We find out that Zapdos is the big Pokemon honoured here, hence the big stone columns found around town. Built by ancestors. Gym Leader Kellam is from Kanto, where he saw it in the Power Plant. Better have a Pokemon that knows Fly because we will need it in his Gym. 

2 houses in the south of town, speak to the lady in the house on the right to receive a Litten. 

The Adventurers' Club is southwest from the Gym, both at the top of the Ceratoides Falls. Speak to the PokeRanger man, who asks if we would like to see Zapdos: it is located in the mountains east of town. 

**An unknown secret place unlocked.

Hiker Percival (Lv87 Spiritomb, Lv88 Klefki) Prize: P7040

Then we'll meet up with Eliza and Sirus. Sirus assures her that Chronya can look after Logan, especially now that the Dark Workers are looking for him. Eliza tells us that they are looking for us too. No surprise since we did catch "The Shady". Clues are needed so Sirus can find out why they are looking for us. He found out about the Mewtwo incident and about it joining the Dark Workers. So now we have prove that we can defend ourselves by taking on these 2, like we haven't been able to do just fine all this time /==./ we got more important things to do!

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

PokeTrainer Eliza Prize: P6000
(Lv95 Whimsicott, Dragalge, Skarmory, Meowstic, Blaziken, Lv100 Eliza)

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

PokeTrainer Sirus Prize: P5760
(Lv96 Flygon, Arcanine, M. Alakazam, Zoroark, Araquanid, Dusknoir)

After they leave, we meet Wind. Not busy gardening this time, he knows about what's going on with Logan. He also knows about the masked person. The point is, he's just here to tell us to listen to Sirus and then off he goes back to his gardening. The world could end and he'll be away gardening, this guy. 

South leads to Apocynum Path.

APOCYNUM PATH
-------------

Pokemon Found

The sign post found here says further west is Aconite Valley and further south is Gloiopeltis Path. These place names man haha unique, creative but let's see if you can remember all the names by the end of this game.

Then we see Chloris, in the middle of saying something about Mangrove Town and having to go east, when she sees us. She'll wait for Cybil in Mangrove, where she will look for a man named Asura, who knows about what's going on in this region. She heals our Pokemon and DOESN'T battle us :) how about that? Meeting a character, getting some information and they leave without needing to waste yet another battle against us. 

Continue going west. 

PokeRanger Zeis Prize: P6800
(Lv85 Glalie, Audino, Pidgeot, Pyroar, Ribombee, Chatot)

Get all the way to the end and go north to reach the exit. We'll be back outside, on a new path. 

SAUSSUREA PATH
--------------

Pokemon Found
.............

According to the sign post we find, northwest leads to Polygonum Path. Going straight north leads to Gracilipes City. 

Ambushed by Cybil not even a couple of steps in. She knows Chloris is waiting for her in Mangrove Town. She asks us where we are going, we don't know but are just following what "master" told us. We need clues. Cybil knows we have to be prepared for whatever is going on around here...which means...

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

PokeTrainer Cybil Prize: P5760
(Lv96 Talonflame, Drapion, Lucario, Goodra, Florges, M. Sceptile)

We pat each other on the back for becoming strong Trainers, until the next time she'll want another battle and we defeat her, again. And again. She'll then say maybe she'll go back and compete in the Ivara League. Good luck :)

Follow the path southwest, past the Berry plants to find the entrance to Novis Forest. 

NOVIS FOREST
------------

Pokemon Found
.............
Skiddo, Whimsicott, Flabebe, Shiinotic, Floette, Florges, Altaria, Gogoat, Pinsir

Just to the south you will see that there's a special Pokemon on high ground. That is Tapu Lele! Level 65. The only way to reach it is to try out the entrances/exits you'll see here until you find the one which takes you to the Pokemon. The other paths just lead you back outside the forest. When you're done, I'll meet you back on Saussurea Path. 

Gracilipes City is the closest place here, so let's go there first then explore Polygonum Path, which is northwest.

Rising Star Volke Prize: P7120
(Lv85 Manectric, Lv89 Togedemaru, Lv88 Vespiquen)

You'll find a Water Stone across the water north from Volke.

Good lord, that Amazon of a woman Chronya lives here haha. Let's explore this place before speaking to her. Someone tells us that her older sister is one of the Tyron League Elite 4.

The Gym Leader and Mayor here is Fransizka. We find out that she helped the Gym Leader of Miscanthus Town, the place at the end of Polygonum Path.

A town of people from other regions. In the southeast house, you'll get a Camerupt from the former Team Magma man. His wife will give you a Sharpedo. 

In the house on the right from the Adventurer's Club are some familiar characters, despite the sprites haha. I'll leave the surprise for you to find. 

At the Adventurer's Club, speak to the woman in red at the kitchen table: there's an island west of town, inhabited by a special Steel-type Pokemon. 

**An unknown secret place unlocked.

Then go upstairs and speak to the woman in green: she adds that there's another island west of that first island. An abandoned Power Plant is found there.

**An unknown secret place unlocked.

At Fransizka's House, her parents are home. Their daughter is the Mayor, can't blame them for being proud. Her father gives us a Rare Candy. Upstairs is her little brother, hoping to become like big sis when he's older. 

We speak to Chronya outside her house, which she got from Fransizka. She stays there with Logan. Remember what happened the last time we spoke to Chronya? Let her remind you, because we are better than the other Trainers she has been battling lately...

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Tyron Master Chronya Prize: P8000
(Lv97 Gyarados, Lv100 Silvally, Lv98 Metagross, M. Lopunny, Lv99 Garchomp, Primarina)

Don't you have better things to do? /==./ anyway, inside we speak to Logan. He's grateful for our help. He lost his Pokemon when he was arrested, so now he's training with Chronya. Gotta get stronger now that the Dark Workers are active. He tells us something he heard from inmates while still in prison - they were planning to escape, after being bribed by someone, and go to a secret base which is found along Polygonum Path. We'll investigate this after we're done here. Maybe a good thing Logan doesn't have his Pokemon at the moment, because I bet we would've battled him here for no good reason haha. 

Gym time.  

GRACILIPES CITY Gym
-------------------

Leader: Fransizka - "Our Friendly and Kind Mayor."

The Hiker we find near the sign post tells us that we'll need Dive to access the Gym in Miscanthus Town. Noted. In the grass south from him is an Elixir. Just as we step into the next area, here comes that great adventurer Culter. What's with this game and having annoying characters?? It's bad enough we keep battling most of the characters over and over and over again, in many cases for no good reasons. Fortunately we stop his usual talk about us being an adventurer by bringing up the Einsam Canyon incident and he becomes serious. He believes that Mewtwo is aiming to control all the legendary Pokemon but has no idea what the consequences of doing that will be. Culter is conducting his own investigation into this and of course, we have to prove ourselves to him...

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Adventurer Culter Prize: P7200
(Lv87 Jolteon, Lv90 M. Gyarados, Lv88 Conkeldurr, Slowking, Skarmory, Lv89 Flygon)

Thanks to his investigation, he knows about our connection to Mewtwo, to our surprise. He also give us an L.S. Ticket. With this, we can go to the Lande Skyscrapper via the S.S. Arrow. 

Taking the path above us leads to a Dark Worker grunt who does us a favour by unlocking the secret base before turning around and finding us. Thanks chief :)

Dark Worker Grunt Prize: P7120
(Lv87 Arcanine, Dusknoir, Lv89 Diggersby, Lv88 Magnezone, Alakazam)

He goes in. We follow. Bring a Pokemon that knows what a waterfall is.

DARK HIDEOUT
------------

Pokemon Found

Flaaffy, Excadrill, Magneton, Drapion, Staravia, Gumshoos, Drilbur, M. Sharpedo, Type: Null
(Surf) Marill

This is more open door picnic area than hideout :) not too shabby. We surf north. That item you see on the high ground to the right is a Big Pearl. Going west to meet another DW grunt. 

Dark Worker Grunt Prize: P7200
(Lv87 Gyarados, Lv88 Grumpig, Lv89 Excadrill, Lv90 Salazzle)

Then we get to the actual hideout. When we get in, ninja guy Genba appears outside, not saying a word. 

Inside, just a few steps forward...we think nobody is around, when Mewtwo appears. It built this place for us and of course - this is a trap and the floor literally falls underneath us, sending us into a waiting cage. Mewtwo leaves. Simple plan. Well played haha. When we wake up we see a DW grunt on the other side of the bars. He tells us about their plan to catch Rayquaza. But the grunt doesn't get to enjoy this moment for very long because "master" appears and knocks them out. How did he find us? He says Genba was following us here. We're released from the cage and want this "master" to finally unmask so we can see his face...guess who? Mewtwo! Not what I was expecting haha I imagine many of you are just as surprised...yes? No? Either way, Future Mewtwo is here to stop Present Mewtwo. In F. Mewtwo's world we were kidnapped by "The Shady" after Mewtwo destroyed Team Delta's lab. We were forced to do a job and afterwards F. Mewtwo was controlled to kill us. We were able to free F. Mewtwo before we died, allowing it to stop "The Shady". With the help of Celebi, F. Mewtwo came to this time to fix things. As we are leaving this place we are stopped by 3 DW grunts who think F. Mewtwo is Present Mewtwo...well until the smarter grunt notices that F. Mewtwo isn't their boss because F. Mewtwo is wearing a COAT! No idea why Mewtwo would need a coat (if it was an Onix looking to evolve, I'd understand) but sure, let's just run with it. We got Eliza, a Zoroark with a sword. We're ready to battle these grunts but thanks to them building some funky machine here, our Pokemon are stuck in their Poke Balls /==./ come on, really? F. Mewtwo will fight as our Pokemon (Level 100, still wears the coat in battle, knows Ice Beam, Psychic, Shadow Ball and Thunderbolt) instead, because it just so happens to be outside of a Poke Ball. I hope you got a Bag full of good items...we'll probably need some. 

Dark Worker Grunt #1 Prize: P7120
(Lv87 Arcanine, Dusknoir, Lv88 Alakazam, Magnezone, Lv89 Diggersby)

One down. 

Dark Worker Grunt #2 Prize: P7040
(Lv86 Florges, Gogoat, Lv87 Flygon, Slowking, Lv88 Mienshao, Salazzle)

Grunt #3 actually backs down, smart enough to know he stands no chance...but F. Mewtwo over here can't let that slide so we have another battle. Thanks. 

Dark Worker Grunt #3 (Lv86 Klefki, Lv87 Gengar, Ribombee) Prize: P6960

Then F. Mewtwo sends them away. The machine that trapped our Pokemon was right behind where the grunts were standing. F. Mewtwo turns it off and then goes on ahead to clear things for us. Well, not really...because there are still DW grunts waiting to battle us. Again, thanks.  

Dark Worker Grunt Prize: P7120
(Lv86 Incineroar, Lv88 Mudsdale, Lv87 Hawlucha, Lv89 Gardevoir)

Dark Worker Grunt Prize: P7280
(Lv89 Milotic, Vespiquen, Lv90 Aggron, Lv91 Espeon)

The entrance south from her leads to an empty room, continue to the right. 

Dark Worker Grunt Prize: P7280
(Lv89 Dragalge, Lv90 Meowstic, Dhelmise, Lv91 Ferrothorn, Furfrou)

In the next room is F. Mewtwo, Genba, Chronya and Engineer BC. Genba has done his job, Engineer BC is sure the machine has been destroyed. We find out that Chronya and Logan followed us here. He has gone to find Trevor. Looks like everything has been sorted out here, so everyone leaves. On our way out we receive a call from Trevor telling us to return to Belladonna Town because the prison is being attacked by Dark Workers. Logan and Sirus are there too fighting against these guys. 

**NOTE: The Fly Map for the Lande region, well done :) shades of old RPG overworld maps. First time I'm seeing that in a Pokemon game. 

Back at the Prison we'll find Chloris and Cybil too. They were in Mangrove Town when they heard about this. Absolve as well, doing something useful by bringing along Team Delta members to help. Elijah wants to search for Logan, who then appears. He's fine. Former Champion of the Sylon and Tyron Leagues. Although he lost his old Pokemon, he has new ones and believes he's stronger now. Chronya shows up and the 2 of them go on ahead. Take the entrance on the right and follow it to where we meet F. Mewtwo, who is here to find "The Shady"/Tyra because the Rayquaza plan. She knows how to find Rayquaza, while Chloris and I do not. F. Mewtwo leaves. We find everyone else, busy with battles. We got DW grunts and prisoners to deal with. 

Beauty Dana (Lv90 Froslass, Lv91 Arcanine, Gyarados) Prize: P7280

Dark Worker Grunt Prize: P7280
(Lv89 Vaporeon, Aromatisse, Lv90 Umbreon, Metagross Lv91 Crobat, Alakazam)

Blackbelt Matsunaga (Lv93 Hawlucha, Conkeldurr) Prize: P7440

The DW grunt north from him is blocking the cell containing Tyra but we can't go through so use the other entrance to the right, leading to another cell where we find a familiar face that we haven't seen in quite a while - Galen! Didn't you die in an explosion?? He's here to free Tyra, but we're in the way. 

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Dark Tutor Galen Prize: P7680
(Lv94 Talonflame, Gengar, Lv96 M. Sharpedo, Heracross, Lv95 Zoroark, Tyrantrum)

Galen tells us that he sees Tyra like a daughter, hence why she is important to him. He lost his son but when he rescued Tyra when she was young and he became a different person. Then he disappears. Leave the cell and go to the one which was blocked. Galen is ready to get out of this place with Tyra, but she wants to meet someone, a woman who is also an inmate here. When they see us, again they just disappear. Go back to the lobby and enter the left side doorway which was also previously blocked. In the new area we meet Boss Mewtwo, surprised that we managed to escape the secret base. Then F. Mewtwo shows up and we just stand back to see the present and future forms of the same Pokemon trading lines of dialogue. Isn't there some time travel paradox rule about not meeting another version of yourself?? B. Mewtwo still wants to destroy legendary Pokemon and exact revenge on humans who hurt it. In the end we get Mewtwo vs Mewtwo. This story, though...

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Boss Mewtwo (Lv90 Mewtwo X, Mewtwo Y) Prize: P7200

But it's all for nothing because like with every other bad guy in this game, even after you defeat them in battle they'll just disappear and we're left to look like complete idiots. B. Mewtwo goes off to look for this female prisoner because she is also one human it wants to take care of. F. Mewtwo tells us to find Tyra/"The Shady" while it finds B. Mewtwo. 

Same deal in this area, the cell on the left is blocked by a DW grunt so go to the right. Chronya and Logan are fighting some prisoners and grunts. 

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv88 Cacturne, Lv91 Aerodactyl) Prize: P7280

Gardener Fort Prize: P7280
(Lv90 Pangoro, Scizor, Lv91 Mudsdale, Leafeon)

In the cell we meet Bezzarye, an Admin of Team Mirage (seriously, I'd forgotten that there's ANOTHER organisation! Good lord haha). When she realises that we're not one of the Dark Workers and that we're here to arrest her, she attempts to make a break for it.

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Dark Worker Bezzarye Prize: P7680
(Lv94 Salamence, Spiritomb, Lv95 M. Gengar, Salazzle, Lv96 Gardevoir, Milotic)

Aaaand she's gone. 

Going to the cell on the left. 

Dark Worker Grunt Prize: P7280
(Lv89 Carbink, Breloom Lv90 Vanilluxe, Golurk, Lv91 Pyroar, Gardevoir)

Logan and his new Pokemon are doing well against 3 DW grunts. Good for him :) just counting down to the first (probably of many) battles that we'll eventually have with him.

We'll find Tyra and the mysterious woman. She is aware that the Dark Workers released all the other prisoners but Tyra gave the order to not free her. This is Tyra's mother! Well. Tyra wants her to stay here, blaming her for ruining things. This is revenge. Mother notices us and has heard of us...then drops a bombshell on us - we are Tyra's brother! This is soap opera level material, wow :) she continues - our father didn't tell us the truth, our father whom we thought was dead (according to our stepfather). Father disappeared with us while mother stayed with Tyra, no wonder we weren't aware about the relation. Boss Mewtwo appears, here to take Tyra away and continue the plan to catch Rayquaza. Poof, gone. Mother doesn't care about Tyra, but she cares enough to drop another bombshell - Kasper is our father! Hattrick!! Mother believes he won't face us, but someone else believes the opposite - Engineer BC, who reveals mother's name: Viperum. Engineer BC is on Kasper's side and it was him who helped Kasper choose our step parents. To hide us from Viperum and the Dark Workers so that we wouldn't be experimented on like Tyra. Kasper established Team Delta to fight the Dark Workers. Everything Kasper did was for us. Tyra tricked us into thinking he is an enemy. Engineer BC wants to show us something.

Next we appear in a special room in Kasper's house. Built in Cypress Forest to keep Viperum and Tyra from finding it. There is a safe in this room, which can only be unlocked by Chloris and Engineer BC. Chloris knew about us but Kasper didn't want her to reveal things. Inside the safe is an envelope with a letter for us from Kasper. Telling us about how he's proud of us now knowing who he is...his reasosns for creating Team Delta...knowing that we were being spied on by "The Shady", not knowing their identity...and so on. There's also a badge in the envelope - it is for Team Delta leaders and now we are the new leader (sorry Absolve haha). The badge is a Key Item, the Golden Delta. We apologise for not knowing who Kasper was. Now it's time to build an army under Team Delta and defend Ivara and Lande. Engineer BC is glad, he goes back to F. Mewtwo's base to let it know the plan so we can work together. Chloris shows up just after he leaves. She tells us that the Dark Workers have showed up in Mangrove Town and have surrounded a place called Hermit Hill, where they can find Rayquaza. Chloris has a house there. 

Mangrove Town is our next big destination but before we had to rush back to the Prison we were along Polygonum Path heading west to Miscanthus Town. So I'm going to cover what was left of that route next.

The Gym Leader here is Miredy, she was a pirate in the Valo region and now her wrecked ship is located to the southwest of town, serving as the Gym. Remember we need a Pokemon that can Dive to enter it. Let's look around first. 

When we enter Miredy's house, we are ambushed by her butler Barts and her maid (?) Bud. Double battle. At least the security system works haha

This place was home to the 4 Hermits, remember them? We heard about them AGES ago. The Gym Leader here, Asura, is the leader of the 4 Hermits. 

In the house north from Elijah's house is a lady who will give you a Popplio. 

Another woman outside tells us about an island to the west of town, which needs to be unlocked. 

At the Adventurer's Club, which might as well be a Hikers' Club haha, we hear more about that island: a creature was found on it, but the Hiker doesn't think it's a Pokemon. He says it looks like a young lady but has no face, arms or legs. 

**Unknown secret place unlocked.

Outside Elijah's House we find F. Mewtwo and Engineer BC. They tell us to come back when we have this town's Gym Badge. No problem, better than another battle where we have to "prove" ourselves. 

Enter Hermit Hill and go through the exit on the left.

Make your way through Aconite Valley again, staying north until you find a path that continues further. In this new area have a Pokemon that can surf and scale waterfalls.

At the Adventurer's Club, the lone member has this to share: he found a small island between Mangrove Town and Belladonna Town. There is a cave on this island, inhabited by a Pokemon "from another world". We have to use Fly to reach the island.

Dude tells us that the Badge is not an official Lande League Badge, but we'll need it to open the door of the Lande Skyscraper. Rejoice, no more collecting Gym Badges in this region! 

Back in Mangrove Town, F. Mewtwo and Engineer BC are ready for the big plan. Stopping Boss Mewtwo and "The Shady"/Tyra. F. Mewtwo doesn't think it'll live long enough to see things pay off, to our shock. It won't tell us why. We have a big mission ahead but as usual we have another unnecessary battle now. 

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

PokeTrainer Engineer BC (Lv100 Mewtwo) Prize: P8000

We learn that Genba is in Hermit Hill and could use some help so F. Mewtwo and Engineer BC leave. Inside Elijah's house we meet up with everyone (Chloris, Cybil, Absolve, Elijah, Nicole and Klaus!). Chloris asks us if we saw Sirus and Eliza...they haven't gotten here yet. Klaus claims he's here by chance, which we doubt, and Absolve is glad that we're now the leaders of Team Delta. Asura shows up to help, since he is the guardian of Hermit Hill. Without him our Pokemon will be weakened by Rayquaza. He'll wait for us in Hermit Hill. We tell everyone that we have potential allies now and since we're a leader of Team Delta, those allies will come to our aide. We plan to return to the Team Delta base with Absolve. Everyone leaves.

At the Team Delta base we have brought together the grunts, they're ready and so are we. 

Back in Mangrove Town, time for Hermit Hill. 

HERMIT HILL

Go up the ascending ladder on the right. Takes us to a small area where DW grunts and TD grunts are fighting. Standing in front of another ascending ladder is escaped prisoner Bezzarye. Round 2.

Dark Worker Bezzarye Prize: P7680
(Lv94 Salamence, Spiritomb Lv95 Salazzle, M. Gengar, Lv96 Gardevoir, Milotic)

Again, a case of battling a character but in the end it doesn't really mean anything. She is only concerned about freedom and she leaves via the ladder. 

In the next area is Nicole, doing well. Another ladder going up. 

Dark Worker Grunt Prize: P7280
(Lv90 Azumarill, Lv91 Houndoom, Magnezone)

Chloris and Elijah are found in this area. 

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv91 Gyarados, Lv93 Gengar) Prize: P7440

Ascending ladder. In the next area we see Klaus.

Dark Worker Grunt (Lv92 Tsareena, LV93 Incineroar) Prize: P7440

Another ascending ladder. The next area has Absolve, Engineer BC, Galen and Zinnia. Zinnia is here waiting for Maxie, who will be bringing a secret weapon to help us. Speak of the devil, here he comes. The "secret weapon" is an orb - The Red Orb. Maxie tells us that it will grant us power from another legendar Pokemon - Groudon. Rather than give it to us so we can go ahead and get work done, he just has to "test" us. What else is new?

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Magma Leader Maxie Prize: P7520
(Lv92 Golurk, Flygon, Lv94 M. Camerupt, Lv93 Crobat, Pyroar, Houndoom)

We then get the Red Orb. Maxie tells us that Groudon is back in the Ivara region and the Red Orb will awaken it. Located in Mt. Burvine. Zinnia will meet us at the summit of Hermit Hill. After that make your way right round to reach Engineer BC. Galen blocks the exit leading to the summit. Out of the way!

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Dark Tutor Galen Prize: P7680
(Lv94 Talonflame, Gengar, Lv96 Heracross, M. Sharpedo Lv95 Zoroark, Tyrantrum)

He disappears and that lets us step outside. 

We see Cybil. Ahead of her are Zinnia, Asura, F. Mewtwo and Galen. Galen reveals that a dark barrier has been created to keep us from reaching him and his associates. Bezzarye appears and lets him know that the boss is waiting for him. Galen leaves and we are left to face Bezzarye and the 2 DW grunts she is with...until they reveal their true identities - Sirus and Eliza! Bezzarye is on our side, having made a deal with them. She will undo the dark barrier. Eliza asks her about someone named Max, the man who arrested Bezzarye...she aims to teach him a lesson, until Eliza tells her that Max would like Bezzarye to be his assistant. Bezzarye brushes that off and leaves. Sirus and the others will clear the path for us by fighting off DW grunts so we can reach the summit. 

Up there we meet Galen again, who has a bomb which is similar to the one Kasper used. He plans to use it now, until Genba appears. Galen thought he was dead, but Genba explains that F. Mewtwo found his dead body and revived him. The bomb is defused, Galen laughs and vanishes. 

Ahead we find both Mewtwo and Tyra. Long exchange of words, then we battle Tyra (who has a full team) while we just fight with F. Mewtwo /==./ why?! We have our own Pokemon! I hope you still got Items.

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Shady Tyra Prize: P7680
(Lv96 Staraptor, Gengar, Drapion, Arcanine, Garchomp, M. Blastoise)

Boss Mewtwo succeeds in summoning Rayquaza and using the 2 meteorites, turns it into Mega Rayquaza. More dialogue, where we find out that F. Mewtwo is in a weakened state because of trying to save us when the secret base was destroyed, so it is dying. Fast forward, because at this point the story has just gone off a cliff (if it didn't already do this long ago), B. Mewtwo is pleased with itself and goes into typical villain mode, already believing it is on top of the world. At least this time we get to battle it with our own Pokemon. 

>>BOSS BATTLE<<
===============

Destroyer Mewtwo Prize: P8000
(Lv100 Kartana, Tapu Fini, Buzzhole, X Mewtwo, Tapu Bulu, M. Rayquaza)

B. Mewtwo and Rayquaza vanish. Tyra has a melt down, but we try to reason with her. Doesn't seem to work. She wants to go the suicide route but Galen appears to stop her. He wants the 2 of them to go back to the Prison where they will be safe. Vanish. Then we get final words from F. Mewtwo, now that we've changed the future so it will disappear. It tells us that our memory about F. Mewtwo will be erased, despite our protests. F. Mewtwo then disappears.

With no memories about F. Mewtwo, we wonder if we changed the future. Everyone else joins us, glad that everything has been settled now. Nicole will be waiting for us at the Lande Skyscraper. Klaus gives Cybil a Golden Delta, making her the 3rd and final leader of Team Delta...and the new Golden Trio is born (..yay?) made up of us, Absolve and Cybil. Klaus took it from Galen and reveals that he is also a magician, having helped Kasper escape. 

We'll reappear back in Mangrove Town. Got all the Lande region Gym Badges, so our next stop is the Lande Skyscraper. How do we get there? Fly back to Alocasia Town. Speak to the lady by the S.S. Arrow and off we go.

LANDE SKYSCRAPER
----------------

The place we reach is called Sky Island. Lots of hopeful Trainers here. One of them tells us that the Lande League is on the 50th Floor of the Skyscraper (?!) What is this, Tower of God?? (good Korean web comic, I'll recommend it). There's a building where you can buy items:

A door in the middle opens. Leads to a small area with 2 doorways, which lead to the first of several floors that have those ice floors which crack after stepping on them. Better than sliding floor panels...? There will be floors where you'll have to fall through the ice floor to reach a doorway on the previous floor below (remember the Sky Pillar from the Gen 3 games? Yes) Go through the right doorway. 

23F
...

Make your way to the doorway on the center right. No Trainer.

24F
...

Make your way to the doorway on the left end. No Trainer. Make a note of the doorway on the right end, because on the next floor you have to fall through the ice to reach it.

Walk across the ice to the right side and fall through.

We can now enter the 2nd right doorway. Back and forth between these 2 floors until we get to 30F.

2 other doorways, left and right. The ride side one can be reached. In the next room, the idea is to fall through the floor to the south so that you can weave around to reach that left side doorway.

Gentleman Ulster Prize: P7440
(Lv93 Crobat, Golem, Ampharos, Umbreon, Wigglytuff, Lanturn)

>>LEAGUE BATTLE<<
=================

Elite 4 Dwyer Prize: P7680
(Lv96 Gyarados, Jirachi!?, Garchomp, M. Heracross, Vaporeon, Araquanid)

Doorway in the middle appears. 2 doors in the next area, left and right. We'll be dealing with warp panels this time. It's stuff like this that makes the idea of replaying this game not exactly attractive, on top of the size of this game /==./ good god almighty. Go through the left door 

34F
...

3 doors here, the aim is to reach the one in the middle. Ignore the warp panel near the Heal/Retire machine, go for the one to the south. Takes us into the little room to the south that has 3 panels (we arrive via the top right one). Use the left panel. Leads us to the middle door. 

35F
...

The door we can access is to the left. 

36F
...

In the secluded area we arrive in, there are 3 panels. The one we want is the far right one, because the other 2 lead to secluded rooms to the south of this floor. The far right panel leads to the secluded room in the southwest section of this floor, where there's a door and a Heal/Retire machine. 

37F (?)
...

We are in a south area secluded room that has 2 warp panels. Take the one on the right. We appear in the room right next door. 2 panels here as well, this time use the left panel. Takes us to the northeast room, has a door and a Heal/Retire machine. 

CoolTrainer Mareeta Prize: P7440
(Lv93 Jolteon, Dragalge, Vanilluxe, Charizard, Slowking, Zoroark)

36F (northeast side)
...

Next door is on the left. 

Hiker Quan Prize: P7440
(Lv93 Steelix, Granbull, Gallade, Dusknoir, Azumarill, Incineroar)

38F
...

In this room we enter there are 6 warp panels and a Heal/Retire machine. The aim is to reach the door in the northwest room, so play around with these panels until you get to it. Too much back and forth to put into text form. 

39F (??
...

In this small corridor we find 3 warp panels lined up on the right and to the sout is a Heal/Retire machine. The aim is to reach the door in the northeast room. 

PokeRanger Linde Prize: P7440
(Lv93 Magnezone, Raichu, Heliolisk, Pyroar, Sableye, Goodra)

40F
... 

3 warp panels lined up leading south to a Heal/Retire machine. More panels to the left to get through. Aim is to reach the door in the northwest room. 

41F (?)
...

Small room that has 3 warp panels. Use the bottom right panel, takes us to the room right next to this one. Use the same warp panel we just came from. Takes to the room to right, where we find the next door and a Heal/Retire machine. 

42F
...

South from us is a Heal/Retire machine blocking the way, so we to the left. Aim is to reach the door there, so good luck dancing around these warp panels. It's frustrating enough as it is, believe me. Who thought this was a bright idea??

Furisode Girl Shanna Prize: P7440
(Lv93 Ninetales, Scizor, Seaking, Alakazam, Altaria, Froslass)

43F (?)
...

4 warp panels in this small room. Next door is in the room right next to this one. Safe to say this is the worst League challenge I've taken on in any Pokemon game (official and fan-made) so far. If you had any plans to replay this game, just remember this place and everything else you'll have to get through. 

School Kid Nomah Prize: P7440
(Lv93 Manectric, Glalie, Tentacruel, Garchomp, Leafeon, Rhyperior)

44F
...

We FINALLY reach the floor just before facing one of the Elite 4. 2 doors, left and right. Difference this time is no Trainer behind either door. 

45F
...

The final Elite 4 is Amalda, a former Gym Leader of Balanophora Town and twin sister of Oguma. Let's go!

>>LEAGUE BATTLE<<
=================

Elite 4 Amalda Prize: P7680
(Lv96 Slowking, Crawdaunt, Metagross, Ninetales, M. Gardevoir, Latias)

That takes care of the Elite 4. A door in the middle appears and we are ready to face Champion Nicole and FINALLY get out of here. But that would be too easy. On our way we're (once again) stopped by someone - Chronya. I don't have to tell you what fantastic idea she proposes since she also wanted to challenge Nicole BUT this time round, you can choose whether or not to battle her! There are plenty of battles which could've really used this. If you choose No she doesn't do the usual thing of not taking No for an answer and asking the question again until you choose Yes...instead she'll accept your answer and say we should come to her house afterwards. She and Logan have a gift for us. Then she leaves. If you choose Yes though...

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Tyron Master Chronya Prize: P8000
(Lv100 Gyarados, Entei?! [Must've traded Pokemon with Asura], M. Lopunny, Silvally, Metagross, Marshadow (?) )

She gives a Max Elixir after the battle. Same thing, we should visit her after battling Nicole. 

It's time. Nicole is ready, so are we. Champion vs Champion for the Lande League title.

>>CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE<<
=======================

Champion Nicole Prize: P8000
(Lv100 M. Lucario, Tapu Bulu, M. Kyogre?!, Tapu Fini, Ho-oh?!, Raikou [Again, must've traded Pokemon with Asura haha])

Congratulations! Double Champion! How does that feel, eh? After the battle the game asks if we want to skip the credits...? Why are we getting credits again?? 

We'll wake up back in our room in Prof. Amala's room. Thank goodness, teleported out of the Lande Skyscraper :) Let's go and see Chronya.

Back in Gracilipes City. The gift we get from Chronya is the Tri-Pass. It is a Castle Ticket, which grants us access to the Tournament Castle, which is on an island surrounded by 7 other islands. Strong Trainers await. Alright. 

Get to the S.S. Arrow and choose Sevii Islands...? Huh?

Back in the Sevii Islands, wow. Who knew they were so close to the Ivara and Lande regions haha. Going north will lead to the island where the Tournament Castle is located. Going south leads to the Sevault Canyon Entrance. There's a ship available to take us to the other islands. But each island needs a Visa, which cost 10 Battle Points/BP. This game and money, I swear. We get Battle Points by taking part in the Tournament. 

I'm going to cover what's in the Canyon below then we go to the Tournament Castle...but if you want to go there right away, just skip down to where I start at the Tournament Castle.

There's an item in an area just below from where Cydney is but can't be reached. In the house we see beyond you learn a new dance move :) then we enter the path leading to the Tanoby Ruins. It's a water route so have a water-loving Pokemon with you.

Back to Seven Island. Now we surf north to Tournament Castle. 

TOURNAMENT CASTLE
-----------------

At the entrance we meet a very familiar character, who also happens to be the boss of Tournament Castle - Leaf! Her 2 friends aren't here though, because they went to the Alola region :/ not like we can go to Alola in this game...same for the other regions mentioned, so no chance to meet Red and Blue it seems. she'll ask us if we want to battle her. Already, boss? You can fight her now or hold off to battle her later. 

>>TRAINER BATTLE<<
==================

Castle Queen Leaf Prize: P8000
(Lv100 Lapras, Blastoise, Volcanion, Charizard, Diancie, Venusaur)

We'll definitely meet her again. Let's go inside. 

In the lobby we'll find Eliza, Chronya, Cybil, Jacob and Absolve. Aside from Eliza and Chronya, the others are here to take part in the Sevii Tournament. We'll face 3 Trainers and not have our Pokemon healed. Speak to the ladies at the counters to exchange your Battle Points for prizes. When you're ready, talk to the lady in the middle. 

SEVII TOURNAMENT (Round 1)
................

We'll take on Jacques, remember him? ALMOST went into the restaurant business haha.

Next up is Siebold, part Trainer, part chef. I wonder if he knows Shokugeki no Soma/Food Wars or Toriko...

>>TOURNAMENT BATTLE<<
=====================

PokeTrainer Siebold Prize: P7760

And that's pretty much it. This wasn't a tournament linked to the story, as I'd hoped. What's left is to find and catch legendary Pokemon, so down below I'm going to copy/paste their locations from the "short-hand", less detailed walkthrough which comes with this game. Will also include what look to be passwords for the Adventurer's Club PC system. Enter the passwords there and receive a legendary Pokemon from a "mysterious Adventurer". They will appear in your Pokemon Storage Box:

And so ends my walkthrough of this game, ladies and gentleman. It was certainly quite the ride, eh? Some ups, lots of downs. After that playthrough I decided not to replay and find out what changes (if any) are present if we choose to rejoin Team Delta. As far as the Special Storyline goes, according to the other walkthrough, it looks like the only changes are for the legendary Pokemon you can find. Nothing major like maybe in the Special Storyline we would travel to the other regions mentioned again and again like we could actually go to them sooner or later. Or are they references to other ROM hacks either done by the creator of this game or by others?? Because in all the ROM hacks I've played so far, none were set in any of those other regions. If anyone knows more information, please let me know what's up with the references.

For such a massive game which was so well designed in terms of how the regions looked and some of the little cool game mechanics featured e.g. the Lande region overworld map, I think what spoiled it is the story. Started off well enough with promise, but as the game goes on things just went all over the place. Not enough strong characters to carry the story, because they spend more time battling us again and again and again, when in most cases a lot of those battles were really pointless and unnecessary. It reached a point where I didn't look forward to meeting new characters because there was always a chance the dialogue would just wind up in a pointless battle, even when there are more important things to do story wise. 

There were Pokemon that appeared WAY too many times. From Dragalge, to Salamence, Spiritomb, Meowstic etc I wondered where are all the other Pokemon?? Isn't this a multi-generation Pokemon game?? Trainers having Pokemon that all seemed to have the same Hold Item - Leftovers and there would be cases where Trainer X gives their Pokemon a random item (usually a Hold Item) to cure a status effect, but not even cure it. So weird. 

That's just feedback I have from my own experience while playing this game. Your feedback matters more so please send your feedback, thoughts, comments etc to the creator of the game at the PokeCommunity forum thread for Pokemon Mega Power. What did you think of this game? Good? Bad? 

Any thoughts, feedback, comments, questions, etc for this walkthrough you can send all that my way via email or if you are part of the PokeCommunity forum site you can drop me a Private Message there. You can also recommend and suggest any other ROM hacks which could use a detailed walkthrough. 

Check out Knuckle San's website https://www.gbahacks.com if you're looking for ROMhacks and fan-made games. Also a great place to ask for help if you're stuck in a game or are looking for recommendations.

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. It would certainly fit right in as something a resident from Animango City would be listening to :) if you like anime and manga as much as I do then this might be the series for you.

I upload both series to Bit Chute, DTube and the Internet Archive currently. As time goes on I aim to upload to other places too e.g SoundCloud:

POKEMON - THE JOURNEY OF JANICE: This was an idea I had in early 2019 which I had hoped to turn into a story for a ROMhack someday. 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 haha. 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.
