Part Twenty: Straight Outta Meteor's HQ
Welp, this is it. Fell down a hole and now I'm trapped with a bunch of pokemon. The grunt taunts me from behind the bars. I swear to God if I were over there I would Wreck you. Hmmm. There's gotta be some way out of here... Ah ha! I walk over to a loudred sitting in a nearby cage and cause it to scream. My hearing is gone and the Abra nearby wakes up. Good. I bond with the abra and it proceeds to teleport the pokemon from cage to cage. I notice a lonely lickitung and teleport it to the cage with a ditto. The Ditto transforms and lickitung isn't so lonely anymore. He gives me a Rare Candy that he was holding onto. Next I teleport a Makuhita into the Dittos cage. Ditto busts out of the cage and joins me. Welcome my breeding slave >:] Anyway, I shuffle about and do more teleporting. First I deafen myself using Loudred, have Jigglypuff sing, Have Loudred wake Abra up, but not the guard and then have Cyndaquil shoot the iron bars with Flamethrower. Next I teleport a Vanillite who uses Ice Beam on the bars, and finally, I have a Roggenrola use Rock Blast on the bars. HA HA! Success. I'm outta here...
Not really tho. I venture into the basement below and shuffle about the dark room. I eventually find the TM for Psych Up. Cool. I will never use this move :] Moving about a biit more, I find some Magnet Powder and a strange door with an X pattern on it. Weird. Anyway, I finally make my way up to the next floor and fight some goons. We fight a scientist with a Zorua and Lampent. The Lampent was rather troublesome, but Manny is a champ who tanks fire type moves. I then fight a meteor grunt named Devin who falls to God... Or at least his Croagunk did. His Graveler came out and owned God. Oops. I then meet a scientist who is unwilling to fight, and only wants to learn more about Team Meteor. Strange. I fight a Meteor Grunt named Kenan. Iggy destroys his whole team... Except for the Darumaka which Flare Blitz Iggy into oblivion. It's ok though. After beating him, I open up the main entrance and move my butt to a pokemon center. Aww yea. After healing, I run back in and Metal Gear my way around another grunt and open one lock to some main room. Darn. I need to find the other one. There's always more than one lock... *sigh*
I fight Meteor Dame Diana and win with ease. Piloswine ko's the Electrike and Iggy cleans up the rest. We defeat a grunt named Steven and God reaches level 39. Cool. After fighting more grunts, TeePee and Iggy both reach level 39. I deactivate lock two and heal my team. Time for an intense battle right? Nope, Dialogue comes first. We see ZEL again, which is always cool, but we also see the mean old dude. He's actually pretty cool. He lets us see what he's working on and tells us how it is and then tries to kill us. Lovely. Thank the lord Amaria is there to save us with the best type ever. Ice. Ice Beam more specifically. She asks why Team Meteor is doing all of this. It's to make the people of Reborn leave... Well newsflash guy. You kind of blew up the Train Station, which is one of the only ways out of here. And by poisoning the water, getting out by boat is pretty much impossible... So you're either going to have to find another way out or just kill everyone. Guess you intend on doing that. Amaria fights the old man and he tells ZEL to protect the PULSE. Time to fight!
ZEL leads with Glaceon and I lead with Yogi. Yogi tries his best as he slashes and brines his way forth, but falls to a well timed mirror coat and icy wind spam. At least ZEL used both ultra potions. Iggy comes in and nasty plots twice, then KO's the Glaceon. Muk comes out. Iggy goes for confusion, but the Muk gets PULSE-ified and doesn't even take half damage. Iggy falls to it's wrath. TeePee comes in and Frost Breaths the thing, but also falls to it. Finally Manny comes out. The thing tries to use Muddy Water, but the attack picks up electricity and doesn't even tough Manny. Manny proceeds to obliterate the Muk. Espeon comes out and Manny goes for one last suicide Ice Shard before biting the dust. Psychic is sooper strong. God comes in and Icy Winds twice after tanking a Psychic. Espeon then destroys God and it's all up to Scoops. He KO's Espeon and out comes Umbreon. Scoops goes for Ice Beam as Umbreon uses Confuse Ray. Scoops takes a Feint Attack and retaliates with Avalanche. This happens twice and then Scoops uses Ice Beam one last time while breaking out of confusion. Critical Hit, RKO, from outta nowhere! ZEL is defeated.
ZEL cries out the old mans name in apology. Solaris... He calls our efforts useless and decides to retreat, but not before having his Tyranitar use Superpower... On Amaria! They leave and Amaria sits there. She says she's fine, just winded. She says the water won't be polluted any longer... but I'm not too sure. Amaria says that the water treatment center will clean it all up. I guess that's good. Amaria tries to walk off, but her injuries catch up to her. She really is hurt. She walks up to me and gives me the key to her boat. She says we can use it to cross the lake. Thank you Amaria. You really are the best. Amaria decides to leave and says that Tania may be waiting for her. She lives up north in the Aventurine region of Reborn. She wants me to visit sometime. Cool. With that, she's gone.
I think that's a good place to stop. Next time, we cross the lake and try to get Strength. Here's the squad, now in a handy dandy spoiler so as not to clutter up the page:
That's all for now guys. Until next time, stay cool
