South Park fans will understand: Delta-Episode Spoiler:

This year was definitely a fun and exciting year of gaming. With Blockbusters and Dissapointments alike. But there are a few games that never fail to dissapoint... games we always come back to, because they are so much fun, ir have so much replayability that we always come back to them to replay the role of one of our favorite heroes or try find another path through their twisted storylines. Here we want to honor these games - The best game of the year I revisited! The nominees are: - The Legend of Zelda Windwaker HD (Wii U) I played TLoZ-Windwaker on the Gamecube many many times. So many times that I knew where every Island is, where every heartpiece is and when I can obtain them for the first time, and how many Rupees I exactly need for that annyoing onld chart-decivering fella named Tingle. When I finally received an used Wii U with a lot of Multiplayer games, I was shocked when I saw that Windwaker HD was pre installed... because it wasn't the WiiU-Windwaker-Edition. I immediatley got back into into... I was ammazed how good these graphics looked, and how I still knew where everything was... until Nintendo decided to screw me over with the change of the final Heart Piece... which is normally found in the 50-floor-battle-dungeon on OIutset Island... I searched one entire day... every Island... until I found one mini-dungeon that wasn't there in the Original and found a new treasure-chart... and with this new treasure-chart the final heart piece. - Borderlands 2 I played Borderlands 2 back in 2012 in a Solo-Campaign and had a BLAST with the all the crazyness of Pandora, and one of the most awesome Villains ever - Handsome Jack! It was also my first visit to Pandora, since I skipped Borderlands 1 (because of reviews that said it was boring... well). It was just so amazing, the characters were great. The story, well could have been better, but for a shooter which is mostly based on humor it is accaptable. The RPG-Elements made the game extremely deep. Every character had a uniqe playstyle because of their uniqe ability, and you could go even more uniqe by upgrading talents in a Talen-tree that compliments your playstyle. Then this year I came back to Pandora... but this time I wasn't alone... This time I brought Reinforcements in form of my Brother, who finally picked the GotY-Edition up this year - It was glorious! We had sooooooo much fun together... we hadn'T had that in a long time. - The Wolf Among Us I buyed the game when it first game out in 2013... and played the first episode... and then.. forgot about this masterpiece... just yesterday I replayed it completely and finished it in one 9-hour session. The Story is great with it's twists and dead-ends. The Characters are sooooo close to their respective Fairy-Tale-Original, but with a bit of seriousness. The writing was superb, and almost every decision is a hard one to make - Which area do I want to look into first? - If I go there now, I could lose evidence in the other location, and I don't have time to visit all three places... The gameplay is mostly relaxing, which is kinda normal for a Telltale gam, but that's ok because it plays like a visual novel. And just to pat me on the back for my great detective skills... I knew who the murderer was from the first episode... I should have become an detective. The winner is... *drumroll* - Borderlands 2! This comes to me with no surprise. Borderlands 2 is a masterpiece of a shooter, which is great in solo-play but is just outstanding when played together with friends or siblings. Borderlands 2 is the game that I had the most fun with this year, because I could replay that fun game with my brother. And the best part is yet to come - We still haven'T touched the DLCs yet... because I didn't own them... but that has changed and we will revisit Pandora together to take Captain Scarlets Pirate Booty, complete Mr. Torgues Campaign of Carnage, win at Mr.Hammerlocks Big Game Hunt and Assault Tiny Tinas Dragon Keep. And after this is finished... we will pick up Borderlands - The Pre-Sequel when it comes in a GotY edition to continue the madness together!

I just hope Reborns "complete" story is not as 'effed up' like those Zero Escape games... Those stories had several paradoxes that made my brain melt and question every possible ending again (I know only the "true-ending" are canon... but.. yeah...) Just imagine the following: - The protagonist is actually Arceus in human form, from a future where Reborn got destroyed. - The actual boy/girl died in the train-accident and Arceus used the Space/Time-bending powers of Palkia and Dialga to project it's will and mind into the dead body! - Lin is actually Amethyst from the future! Out to destroy Reborn, so that Arceus CAN transfer itself into the players-body... to... well stop reborn from being destroyed in the first place. - Anna and Noel are the protagonists children and therefore childs of Arceus - who traveled further back in time, so they can live during that time to help him out! -> that's why they have their supernatural powers (seeing the Auras, hearing voices etc.) -> also this is why we always get interupted when we want to learn something about Anna... she may actually know all that stuff because she can hear the voices from the future an past and she don't want our mind to collapse... you know preventing a paradox... - Bennet is the young Elias! With Reborn destroyed in the future, he traveled back in time to make sure his younger self gets stronger to be able to awake Arceus to destroy Reborn sooner... also he kidnapped Luna because he wants to safe her from the destruction so she can be *thankful* to his younger-self for saving her... - The fire accident at Charlottes place was no 'accident' ... it is all part of Arceus plan so the right persons are in possession of the 4 Gem-stones at the right time... - Fern koined Team Meteor because he realised he could never beat the protagonist and the only solution to 'correct' that fact is the destruction of Reborn... because he is an egoistic-*bleeep* - The 4 Gem-stones are keys to open up the Citre arc d'astrea... Which is not the home of Arceus... but infact the home of Giratina - the distortion world! and when the door is opened and the seal is broken it is Giratina who will emerge from there and destroy Reborn... which Arceus wants to prevent in the body of the protagonist! In before I just cracked the Reborn-story

??? did you play thorugh Episode 14?? If yes, did you went down the mountain yourself, or did you go with Cal back to the City? Because when you go with Cal, he says that Terra is with Meteor... ("who told you to go to Ametrine? - Terra? - I know her... from my times with Team Meteor!") We don't know yet why or when Terra joined Meteor... because she locked herself up in her "room" and don't wanna taco 'bout it ... like a depressed teenage girl... but I guess Terra was already with Meteor before Lin took over, and Terra went up thorugh the ranks because Lin liked her 'smashing' attitude of... well... smashing things.

Well... access to the department Store should be completely denied to honest... I mean in the finished game we wouldn't have access to any floor of the dept. store while 'trapped' beyond Agate City. and since the Stickers for Floor 9 and 10 are only available beyond this point it only makes sense to block them off for now... although we HAD acces to floor 9. We can be lucky that Ame has a heart, deep inside... and let's us use the rest of the dept. store for now... And I think blocking it off NOW shows us that we are close to officially returning there I'm ok with it, since I don't really have Pokemon that stone-evolve, or intend to train/use them in near future...

Ok... I couldn't sleep this night because reasons... and I had all kinds of thoughts spinning thorugh my head... and I just now realize how much sense the whole concept of ZEL makes!!! The whole Character - even the Pokemon Xem uses (I think now it is safe to refer to ZEL as non-binary...) 1. ZEL is 3 Personas in one Body, as we learned from the Book Shelly reads to us: Meteor Member 'Zero'(? - correct me if I'm wrong here...) Evelynn - The caring female scientist, who created the PULSE Luminia - The the small girl from the city in the snow 2. EVERYTIME we get to fight a PULSE-Pokemon while Meteors are around - ZEL is there and actually sends said PULSE-Pokemon into battle - Because Evelynn is the only one who knows how to handle the Pulse and 'Zero' is most likely forcing her to do the work... but HE does the battling. 3. ZELs Pokemon - Umbreon, Espeon, Glaceon... Do you see it? Umbreon - Dark-type = symbolizes 'Zero' -> Dark = evil = the evil man from team Meteor Espeon - Psychic-Type = symbolizes Evelynn -> Psychic = intelligent = the scientist Glaceon - Ice-Type = symbolizes Luminia -> Ice = cold/frail = the little girl from the snow village It even makes sense in their stat distribution! Umbreon is a special-wall Espeon is a special-attacker with bonus to speed Glaceon is a special-attacker with bonus on defense (IF I recall correctly) When 'Zero' entered the house, he demanded Evelynns PULSE-machine and wanted to attack her (Dark is effective against Psychic!), but Luminia pushed herself in between, wanting to protect Evelynn (Glaceon has higher Defense than Espeon!), but she got to be held hostage, because her efforts didn't do much (Umbreon = Special-wall against Glaceon = Special attacker). Now that 'Zero' had Luminia as a hostage Evelynn couldn't stop his plans anymore... she could LITERRALY DO NOTHING! (Psychic-attack have NO EFFECT on Dark-types!) After the Experiment went wrong and all three fused together in 'Zeros' body... it is HIS mind that is dominant! (hence his first letter in the first place of Zel) And since 'Zeros' mind is the special-wall, and Evelynn's mind show no result in getting the upper hand, and Luminia, as the little special-attcking girl, is just to weak to break the dominance of 'Zeros' mind! Well done Ame... well done...

TIL - That you could get sore muscles in your LUNGS! Backstory - This Night I didn't sleep... I tried but couldn't because I was coughing the hell out of my lungs the entire night... until around 5:00 AM my whole body startet to ache with every cough... So I went to my Doc as soon as possible he was like "Yeah, that might happen..." Now with a growing headache, a sleepless night and everlasting pain every few minutes... I'm in for a world of hurt today... I just hope the meds I got are helping... I'm so friggin tired!!!!

Chapter 13 - All roads come to an end... - Challanging the Pokemon League! I made my way to Ever Grande City! Since Seismitoad couldn't lern Waterfall, I had to replace it with Buizel, which I trained up to a Floatzel, and taught it all the Water-HMs - Surf, Dive and Waterfall... and Ice Beam for coverage. I made a short stop at the only building, the Pokemon Center, in Ever Grande City, to calm down and get ready for the Victory Road. How can a single building be called a city? I stepped into the cave that is the Victory Road and knew, that strong trainers and Pokemon where ahead... as I made my first steps I already knew that I would need to use my Pokemon to make it through here... because a giant boulder blocked my path! Then a Lairon attacked me. I managed to catch it, and received a Skarmory in return! A few trainers later I came across a ladder marked with two torches. It seems those torches are there guide you thorugh Victory road, to keep you on track. I climbed down the ladder and it was really dark... good thing my eyes are good enough, so I didn'T need to use Flash. This place isn't that much of a maze then I thaught... I found a few items lying around here and there but nothing extra ordinary... I managed to beat the trainers and the wild Pokemon that stood in my way. I cam across a pool of water, which I needed to cross to advance, so I hopped on my Buizel and surfed. But before advancing I saw down another I saw some light coming into the cave, so I wanted to investigate. It turned out, that this source of light was actually sun light from outside. This water path brought us back, in front of the Pokecenter! I investigated a bit further and found the TM29-Psychic, and returned to the cave and continued my way. Not long after I found a pair of big boulders blocking a small path, Delcatty moved them for me and we found the TM39-Flamethrower, which I taught Manectric for coverage reasons. It didn't take long until we reached the final stretch of the Victory road... here everything was so idyllic... grass growing everywhere, water silently flowing around... I climbed a Waterfall with Buizels help and found the TM89-X-Scissors and continued on... until we reached a field full of Flowers! Petals were flying thorugh the air! In the middle of this field stood a boy in a light blue shirt and greenish hair... Wally! I'm impressed that he made it this far! He looks so... confident now... he isn't that shy kid anymore like he was when I first met him. The fact that he made it here before me... well... ok... he didn't have to stop a criminal organization from destroying the world... He challanged me to a battle, to see who will challange the Pokemon League, and assured me, that he has grown stronger and believes in the friendship and strength of his Pokemon - That is everything I needed to know - Wally, you have become a true Pokemon Trainer! I will not hold back! Wally send out Altaria as his first Pokemon, while I started with Buizel and defeated Altaria with an Ice Beam. Next was his Roselia, while I used Manectric and it's newly learned Flamethrower. After his Roselia came his Magneton. I stayed with Manectric and it's Flamethrower. His Delcatty was next and I called Flygon out. Flygons Dragon Rush was enough to defeat Delcatty. Last was his Gallade! - Well it seems his cute liitle Ralts from before has grown strong... As he send sound his Gallade, Wally pulled a chain from under his shirt, on it was a Key-Stone! Could it be? After further Inspection I saw that his Gallade was wearing a Mega-Stone! So that's what you want - Let's end this Mega-Pokemon vs. Mega-Pokemon! - Go Charizard! We looked int oeach others eyes and nodded... we reached out for our Key stones Mega-Charizard-Y vs Mega-Gallade! ... ... Charizard was just to well trained for Wally... as it managed to defeat Mega-Gallade with one Flamethrower. Wally has come far, but he was just not strong enough... he admits it to himself... He promised me that we would battle again, and that he will continue his training. He mentioned that he got that Mega-Stone from his cousin, Wanda, in Verdanturf Town, and that she found a second one, which he insisted she should give to me, when I visit Verdanturf Town next time. He also handed me a Dawn Stone, like one he used to evolve his Kirlia to Gallade. I thanked him and promised that I will beat the Elite 4 and become Champ! Flygon's Pokeball began to glow... of course it would... Well... now I have to find a substitute for Flygon and train it for the final challange. I made my way out of Victory road and saw it before me: The Pokemon League! As I stood before it's entrance, I saw something shimmering just next to the entrance... a new MegaStone - a Mewtwonite-Y! I entered the building and got my Pokemone healed up in the Pokemon Center there, while I stocked up on important medicine like Full-Restores. Then I browsed thorugh my Pokemon on the PC... which one of you should I bring into the Pokemon League? I know! - I choose you Eevee! - How about we evolve you into Glaceon? - I've got the feeling we will encouter a Dragon-Trainer in there... I left the Pokemon League for now to evolve Eevee into Glaceon and train it up to match my other Pokemon, so I went back to the Coastal Cave near Mossdeep City and visited the Icy-Rock on the bottom of it. After Eevee evolved into Glaceon I went to Verdanturf Town to visit Wanda and, like Wally said, she had a Mega-Stone fore me - a Gardevoirite ... the opposite to his Galladite. I visited a few Secret-Bases to train Glaceon and soon it was up to par with all my other Pokemon... back to the Pokemon League! I gave Nurse Joy my Pokemon for a last check-up before we challange the Elite 4. One deep breath... I closed my eyes, opened the door and went through... the two League assistants closed it behind me... I opened my eyes. I stood on a long bridge... it was dark... sand was flying in the air... at the end of the Bridge was a hut. I walked towards it ... a giant stream of sand came down from the ceiling... I continued my way, and entered the building. There was a man sitting on a chair, he was wearing a black Shirt and red pants. He was almost completely bald, except for a curly hairstrain on his forehead... he also looked really grumpy... But looks is looks... he was actually really nice! His name is Sidney - first member of the Elite 4. Specializes in Dark-type Pokemon. He accepted my challange and started of with a Mightyena - While I lead with Wormadam. I taught Wormadame Struggle Bug, before I entered the League, because I realised that it's Special attack was way higher than it's physical attack. And Mitghyena's Intimidate would made it much worse. Sidney started with Crunch, and Wormadam used Struggle Bug, which was almost enough... Sidney healed up Migthyena two times with a Full-Restore, after a Wormadam's Struggle Bug, until it couldn't handle it anymore. He then sent out his strongest Pokemon - Absol! And I healed up Wormadam ... then came an Aerial Ace from Absol... which Wormadam couldn't withstand... I send out Manectric to deal with it, and immidiatley used a revive for Wormadam... I will not loose any of my Pokemon here! I've come to far for this! Manectric managed to defeat Absol with two Tunderbolts! Next up was Shiftry - which didn'T stand a chance against Manectric's Flamethrower ... and neither did the following Cacturne. Last was his Sharpedo... well one Thunderbolt was enough to secure my victory over Sidney! He opened up the door behind him for me... and he said he was confident that I could beat the Elite 4. I went through the door and found myself on another bridge... it was dark again... and eerieeee... with all that mist, and those glowing lotus-flowers... and then suddenly violet flames appeared out of nowhere, which flew to the lanterns hanging at the building, at the end of the bridge, igniting them. - spooky... I bet the next Elite 4 uses Ghost types. In the Arena stood a happy girl, who was kinda dancing around... flailing her arms back and forth and so on... she had lotus-flowers in her hair and was wearing long blue skirt and a blue sleeveless top. Her name was Phoebe, specialized in Ghost-types... but somehow I got the feeling there was someone other in the room with us... sitting in chair in the back and then came closer to us... I really got the chills in there... "2spooky4me"... Anotnia accepted my challange and her first Pokemon was Dusclops. I chose Wormadam again... but it's Psychic didn't do much... Dusclops defence was way to strong... but I didn'T want to give up and eventually Wormadam managed to defeat it. Her second Pokemon was Sableye, and I send out my Delcatty. Delcatty's Play Rough did a quite good job in taking down Sableye, but Sableye's Curse did hefty damage to Delcatty, so I had do withdraw it, as Phoebe send out Dusknoir. I send out Manectric again. It took a few Thunderbolts until it was defeated, but it didn't do much damage to Manectric... next were two Banettes ... both were no Problem for Manectric and I defeated the second of the Elite 4. Although she just lost, she just kept on smiling and dancing... damn she's one happy fellow... She opened the door for me and I went on. I stood on a bridge again... it was snowing... the building in the distance was covered in ice and snow... Let me guess - the next one is an Ice-type specialist! As I came closer a huge Snow Storm blew in front of the building, bursting open the doors... I went inside to face the third member of the Elite 4. A Women stood there in a fancy purple dress, her name was Glacia... and like the ice around us, she was rather cold hearted... she insulted all the previous challangers and their pokemon as pitiful... Well I will not allow you to call my Pokemon pitiful! My Pokemon will melt your precious Ice-Pokemon you cold-hearted... ... ... ... She accepted my challange and send out Glalie as her first Pokemon... I was burning with anger... how could she insult those trainers and pokemon? - I'll show her... my Charizard! And not just this - I Mega-Evolved Charizard to Mega-Charizard-Y to create a Sunny Day with it's ability and increase it's firepower! Mega-Charizard will burn everything you love! To make it shot: Glalie -> Flamethrower Walrein -> Solar Beam Froslass -> Flamethrower Froslass -> Flamethrower Glalie -> Flamethrower OVER! DONE! WHO IS PITIFUL NOW? She opened the door to the final member of the Elite 4 for me. Who would have guessed? A Bridge... again. On the building in the distance is what seems to be a dragon head.... beneath the brisge lava... Ember is floating in the air... as I came closer flame pillars arose from the lava beneath and into the Dreagon head which opened the door... I entered. Before me stood an fairly old man with a glorious moustache. He was wearing a black mantle and blue pants and a boat-captain hat ... I guess he was or is the captain of a boat with that hat. His name is Drake... Captn. Drake the Dragon-Master. He accepted my challange... as a dragon trainer he will not know what has happened to him, when I'm done with him... He started with Altaria, while I send out Glaceon to it's first major battle! Glaceon was faster then Altaria and summoned a Hail. Altaria attacked with Dragon Pulse, which didn't do much damage to Glaceon.... Now the fun part begins: Glaceon attacked with Blizzard, instantly defeating Altaria! His next two Pokemon, two Flygon, suffered the same fate as his Altaria... directly hit by a quick Blizzard. Next was his ace - Salamance... which managed to attack with Dragon Rush before succumbing to Glaceons frosty powers! His Last Pokemon was Kingdra. Glaceon was exhausted so I swapped it out for Delcatty... It took a bit of time but Delcatty managed to defeat Kingdra with Play Rough. Last one down! All that is left is the Champ! Captn. Drake praised me for defeating him... for knowing what a trainer needs... a pure heart connected to with his Pokemon. He opened the door and wished me luck. I stood on a bridge again... but it was different then before... everything was well lit up... the bridge was made of white marble... the walls were polished steel... and once I came closer to the end a GIANT (and I mean GIANT) door opened up with a huge light beam coming out of it... I entered the door and climbed up the stairs to face the champ. The he stood on the other end of the room, the back turned to me, in a black Jacket and pants and light blue hair... wait a minute... could it... be? No way! He turned around - it was Steven Stone! - Why did he never told me that HE was the Champ? - I bet he held it a secret to surprise me... He said he hoped to see me come here ... that he wanted to know what I learned during my journey... what I felt ... what has awaken within me... I should show him all that in a battle! Steven was always a friend... and as friend... a challanger for the title of the champ - I WILL show him everything I got! He led with Skarmory, while I led with Manectric! Manectric could have defeated it with one Thunderbolt, but Skarmorys Sturdy hindered it... Skarmory used Spikes to lead my upcoming team into a trap... Steven used a Full-Restore to heal up Skarmory, and it took another hit from Thunderbolt... surviving it yet again... next was a Flamethrower that finally defeated Skarmory. Next was his Aggron, I kept going with Manectric. One Flamethrower was not enough and Aggron managed to used Earthquake, but Manectric took it easily. Another Flamethrower and Aggron was defeated. His third Pokemon was Claydol, and I swapped Manectric for Floatzel. Claydol survived a hit with Waterfall and managed to set up a Lightscreen. A second Waterfall defeated Claydol. Fourth was Cradily, which gave me a bit of trouble due to the Lightscreen setup... I kept Floatzel in for now in the hope that an Ice Beam would freeze it... but that didn't happen and Cradily used Giga Drain which Floatzel just bearly withstood... I swapped it out for Delcatty. Delcatty's Rock smash did a bit of work but it wasn't enough but enough to stall out the Lightscreen... Then I swapped for Glaceon... One Hit with Blizzard was now enough. Next was Armaldo, for which I returned Floatzel! One Hit with Surf was enough. His last Pokemon was Metagross... He showed me his Key-Stone and I withdrew Floatzel and send out Charizard... We both Mega-Evolved our Pokemon... but Mega-Metagross couldn't withstand My Charizards burning power! I did it! I defeated Steven... I defeated the Champ! He congratulated me for my victory ... and just as he want's to name me the new Champ Brendan came bursting in! Screaming about, he needs to tell me about the champ before I battle him... well he was a bit to late... Professor Birch came in too. He said something that Brendan was worried about me... (Brendan was worried about me... again... *blush*) and that he always knew I had a chance of becoming the champ... and that I can now enter the final room of the Pokemon League! I followed Steven up the last set of stairs into the Hall of Fame. Brendan wnated to come along... but Steven denied him, since only Champs are allowed to enter... The Hall of Fame... here are listed all Champions for eternity... Together with Steven I put my Pokeballs and my Trainer Card on the altar. Now me and my Pokemon are officially the champs of the Hoenn-Region: I left the Hall of Fame, and Brendan was still waiting for me... He wanted to go home together, and I shouldn't interpret to much into this (*thihihi*)... we went to Route 103 with our bikes... and it has gotten pretty late... Route 103... that small pond... where we first battled... He challanged me to a battle... regardless of me being the new champ... for "old times sake" ... (we haven't been on this journey for THAT long come on!). I agreed. Brendan led with Swellow and I led with Manectric... and Thunderbolt hit Swellow really hard and it fainted. Next was Wailord, I kept Manectric and another Thunderbolt was enough... His Pokemons were approximately on Wally's niveau... so no real threat for me now... Third was Breloom, I send out Wormadam and defeated it with Psychic. Then came Raichu, I steayed with Wormadame, and one Leaf Storm and one Razor Leaf later, Raichu was also defeated. Last was his Blaziken... which he Mega-Evolved. But my Floatzel managed to defeat it in one hit with Waterfall! He admitted that I had surpassed him a long time ago, and that he knew that he wouldn't stand a chance... We went home on foot and watched the night sky, while we talked about our journey... what we learned and all the fun we had... As we finally reached Litteroot Town, there was a small Meteor shower in the sky... it was very beutiful. I arrived at home and told my Mom and Dad the news, that I have become Champ! And then I went to bed... (AHHHH!!! my own bed... how have I missed you and my big fluffy Lapras doll!) While trying to fall asleep I overheard Mom and Dad talking about an astronomy show they wanted to attend in Mossdeep City... but dad has work to do in his gym... *tihihihi* I WONDER if they will give me the ticket for the show *tihihihi* Well... time to sleep... I'm tired... I accomplished so much today... Team / Hall of Fame: Veterans: Fallen: **** Authors note: I don't feel the need for Backup-and caught Pokemon... since this the END of the Wonderlocke... HOWEVER I'm feeling confident in continuing the diary with the Delta-Episode!

Chapter 12 - A small training journey and the Final Badge Feels like I've been away for days... Feels good to take a nice long rest after saving the world. However, I need to continue my journey, and prepare for my last gym-badge. Since I lost Pachirisu against Kyogre and Tentacruel as substitute for Pachirisu for my battle against Archie, I needed to fill up 2 slots in my Pokemon team. I chose Electrike for Pachirisu and Tympole for Tentacruel, and since those two needed training I set off to train them, so I played the Eon-Flute and hopped onto Latias and flew threw the sky! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! This is sooooooooooo awesome! This feels amazing! The wind through my hair, the speed! Wooooooooohooooooooooooooo!!! Before starting my Training-Session I flew back home to tell everyone! But Mom seemed more interested in the fact that I beat Dad in a gym-battle and won his Badge, than the fact that I litterely just saved the world! - However she gave me an Amulet Coin. I also wanted to visit professor Birch and tell him about Kyogre and show him the Pokedex entry. The Professor told me, that after the weather-incident more Pokemon appeared thoroughout Hoenn. Pokemon that normally live in other regions. He updated my Pokedex to the NationalDex. After I left the Lab I saw something shimmering under a tree, I picked it up - and it turned out to be a Megastone - my updated PokeDex said it is a Mewtwonite X! Wait... X ... Why does it have an X? Are there more Megastones for the same Pokemon? Why is the Mega-Evolution so complicated? Now all that's left is, that there is a Pokemon that can Mega-Evolve without a Megastone... ... I just want to understand! I called Latias again and we flew to Mauville City to plan our training session (and because I wanted to eat in a restaurant for a change *tihihi*) I saw Wattson in front of the Prismtower replica, which was illuminated for a change. He said that the replica is connected to "New Mauville City" - a canceled underground city project - and that it symbolizes that there is something going on down there. He asked for my help to investigate it, and that I should meet him in his apartment on the first floor (which normally is only for residents). First I went to the restaurant because I was staaaaarrrrrviiiinnnng... Well looks like my training would start right here! Once you order your food and got a seat, you have to defend your seat in Pokemon battles against other trainers who want a seat... but this should be no problem for me - whoever dares to stand between me and food has to pray for Arceus' mercy! I managed to defend my seat for 4 rounds until my food was ready! *YAY! FOOOOOOOOOD!!! nomnomnomnomnomnom* After I stuffed myself with sandwiches, I went up to the apartments and in the search for Wattsons apartment I visited a few others and found TM89-U-Turn on one of the balconies. One guy seemed a bit behind with his rent and after a few minutes, the rent-collector came out and handed asked me if I was a trainer and if I could make use of a weird stone the guy gave him as a part-payment... it was a Lopunnite! But... if this was part of his rent-payment... WHY does he just give it to a random trainer that crosses his path? Some people are somewhat crazy here in Hoenn... not like in good old Johto... damn... now I'm getting home-sick of my old home... I found Wattsons apartment and he made an Iris-scan from my eye so that the security-system of New Mauville would let me in. He told me the entrance was just in front of the southern entrance to Mauville City under the Bike-route, I would need to Surf to get to it. I should investigate the main security-computer and transmit the security logs to Wattson. So I surfed with Tympole to New Mauville and entered it - the security system let me in, like Wattson said. There were much construction stuff lying around... and electric-type Pokemon. A Magnemity immediately attacked me, but I managed to catch it just for it to get replaced... by a cute little Fletchling! *dawwwwww* I dug through some of this stuff lying around to find a Thunderstone, and a few angry Voltorbs... after I was done looking around I headed for the security computer and submitted the logs to Wattson with just a few clicks. I wanted to look around a bit more but all doors were locked by the system.. but I found an Ampharosite and a Metalcoat in tugged away in a corner. I returned to Wattson, and he said me that everything was in OK... seems the little Prismtower had a short malfunction in detecting... well, malfunctions... Wattson handed me TM24-Thunderbolt as thanks for the help, which I taught Electrike without hesitating. I went on with my training and headed through the fiery path. With all the fire-types there it would be easy to train up Tympole, and soon it evolved into Palpitoad. I even found another Megastone, a Charizardite X... which wasn't here the other times I was here... maybe the events surrounding Kyogre have something to do with the appearance of new Megastones. And it has this ominous X again, well I have Charmander... I could try it out once I get to train it. I wanted to visited Lavaridge Town again, and therefore I had to go thorugh the jagged pass again... and as I almost finished it, I saw something glimmering on the ground, yet another Megastone - a Tyrannitarite! In Lavaridge Town the old lady that gave me an Egg before now had another Egg for me... but currently I don't have the time to hatch it... it has to wait for later. I almost forgot to visit dad! So flew with Latias to Petalburg City. And after that I decided to take on a few re-matches against trainers nearby. So I went on and through Petalburg Woods where I found ANOTHER Megastone... (seriously... how many suddenly appeared out of nowhere???) - it was a Scizorite! After I re-battled a few trainers, Palpitoad evolved to Seismitoad and Electrike evolved into Manectric. To further train them I went to Fortree City and Route 120... and I was strangely attracted by the Sungrotto where I found the Sunny Day TM the other day... I went there to check it out again. I met Flannery inside, and she told me about a strange Pokemon that has appeared here. I went on to investigate further and found another Megastone - an Charizardite Y! AHA! I knew it! Two different Megastones for the same Pokemon! I wonder what effect each of them has. On the lowest level of the Sungrotto I was a large empty cave. It was HOT... UNBEARABLE HOT! As soon as I entered it I began to sweat like a... you know... BUT I DIDN'T smell! Because girls don't smell! We have dignity!!! However... in that large empty cave was a big, floating, golden ring with somekind of dark whirl inside... I wanted to investigate it further but then the a Pokemon jumped out of it! My Pokedex identified the Pokemon as "Heatran"! Damn this looks tough! and with my two low level Pokemon it wouldn't be easy.... I send out Manectric to Paralyze it with Thunder Wave and immediatly recalled it after it barely withstood a hit... I send out Flygon to attack it with Earthquake until it was heavily injured... I hesitated to throw a Hyperball, because of the rule that I could only catch one Pokemon per area... but this was a special occasion, right? So I tried... and tried... and tried... it broke severel of my Hyperballs before it finally stayed in one of them... I wasn't denied the catch... but using seems to be prohibited... like with Latias and Kyogre... it is way to powerful for me to use. The heat subsided... I exited the Sungrotto and continued my training until Seismitoad and Manectric caught up to my other Pokemon and I went back to Sootopolis City to challange Wallace for my Final Badge. His Gym had a giant Waterfall and severel thin Ice plates which cracked as I stepped upon them, and the stairs, which lead to the next floor, were hooked on a mechanism that would only give them free once all Ice plates were cracked... so I had to be careful not to step on one of them twice and fall down... I managed to solve his puzzles and finally challanged him. Since this was a Water-type Gym I decided to let Manectric do most of the work and lead with him. Wallace lead with Luvdisc... and all in all... it was hardly a challange with Manectric and Wormadame as a backup. Manectric defeated almost everything Wallace threw at me with one electric attack. After Luvdisc he send out Whiscash, for which I switched in Wormadame, which defeated it with a Leaf Storm. Next was his (beautiful) Milotic... another Thunderbolt from Manectric was enough. Then came Sealeo... again Thunderbolt took care of it. Last was Golking... I decided to use Discharge this time... it worked out too. I defeated Wallace with ease, and he handed me the Rain Badge, with which I can control ANY Pokemon regardless of their Level. Also he handed me HM05-Waterfall! Which I'm allowed o use outside of battle with his badge... what a lucky coincidence. Again... like all the other times before, one of my Pokeballs began to glow... this time it was Reuniclus! I went to the Pokemon Center to get my Team healed up, and choose a Substitute... and I knew the perfect one - Charmander! I will train it and try out those two Megastones! Now... all that is left is the Pokemon League... It could be that the next entry is my last... before becoming Champ of the Hoenn-Region that is... Strange... why am I so excited about this? I mean... when we arrived here in Hoenn I never had the intention to challange the League... Well I never would have thought that I would save the world from a weather disaster and an evil organization like the Hoenn-Rangers in the TV-Show (hopefully my mom remembered to record the episodes for me during my journey!) - I guess I would make a great honorary member... maybe I will get a character in the show after my heroic acts! Calm down Sapphire... calm down... overestimation can be your downfall... focus on your task at hand - The Pokemon League! Team: Pokemon caught and traded for: Backup Pokemon on PC: Veterans: Fallen:

I guess she went for Cain first, becuase Cain was the first to enter Agate City. She was like: "OMFG! INTRUDER ALERT!!!! COMENCING SMASHING, RAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWRRRRR!!!" - Incoming Player - "DIAMOND DYNAMO!!!!" Then, when she missed and noticed the player: "DAMN! C'MON M3G4 T3RR4WR think fast! Act like you didn't want to smash him!" And she lured us to Ametrine to buy time and maybe for a backup plan to get hold of the Ruby Ring (the whole Heather/Blake thing).

OMG look at Sylveon! Soooooo cute

Wasn't there a talk about them being broke and that it would take way too long to fix them in the Status-Update just a few minutes ago? But damn! I can finally change my trainer card again? Sweet!

Try finding fitting hats for 9 different Eeveelutions

Actually this picture is BACKWARDS! It has to be flipped! Why? - Because Sephiroth is LEFT-HANDED! In this picture he holds his Masamune in his right hand and his Angel-Wing ins on his left shoulder... which is well... not right And Cloud is right-handed and holds his sword in his left hand... (I currently have this as my desktop wallpaper with inversed colours )

Her Quaqsire gave me the most trouble... just because I have currently no Grass-Type move on my team (and I utterly despise Grassknot for its damage based on weight thing... I just want my Energy Ball... pwetty pwease Ame?) I opened with swampert. Nidoking got 2 hit KOed with Surf. Claydol immediatley self-destucted, after it got hit by Surf, which Swampert survived. Hippowdon one critical Surf. Garchomp -> switch to Glaceon. Glaceon survived an attack and one-hit killed it with Blizzard. Excadrill -> switch to Noivern. Flamethrower = Defeated Excadrill Incoming Quagsire -> back to Swampert. Surf until out of Hyper Potions and slowly Surf it to death.

Side Note: The Proto-PULSE (Prototype - Magneton) is resbonsible for the creation ZEL! What an Awesome Plot-Twist is that?

I doubt it is possible to name a Pokemon after the Player, because the Players name is always different, while the names of the NPCs are always the same. And yeah I guees Cal as Volcarona could be a thing

Yeah it was annoying as hell... one shot almost my entire team with Ice Beam, Thunderbolt or Psystrike... except my Magnezone... which totalle rekt him with Discharge spam. Mewtwo getting paralyzed after the first Discharge helped too.
