  1. So I've beaten charlotte I head to the waterfall east of the town. Set my time to 11pm and have the ill-fated doll in my inventory and still Absol doesn't show up. Its Episode 18 and I haven't had this problem before. 

  2. My most recent playthrough was fire mono... this gym hurt my soul but I beat it like so.

    Step one drought vulpix- The level doesn't matter. If you want to train it up to be viable then you can use confuse ray which can help for this next part

    Step two Volcrona with big root/giga drain and quiver dance- If confuse lasts long enough to fuck her over then consider this victory as giga drain with enough quiver dance destroys everything bar lapras. Sunny day plus the water resist berry means you should survive long enough to reach her last two mons.

    Step three volcrona probably dies.- Lapras Special defense in this field is absolutely busted. the seed plus water plus its natural bulk means ohko even with critical is unlikely.

    Step 4 doesn't matter we still golden- rotom fire is faster and with lightning you should be able to do massive damage and stun it, downside she will heal from the status. good side the trainer uses a health potion if low enough which means step 5 is the win

    step 5 BLAZIKEN FTW- HJK will do absurd damage to this mon if trained properly and if you have black belt you should be golden. I managed to kill with two HJKs. Step one is the biggest step but if you can bring it down to everyone vs lapras you should do fine.

     

    Mons needed

    Vulpix or Ninetails with drought and confuse ray. focus sash if vulpix

    Volcrona with giga drain quiver dance/big root or water resist berry

    Blaziken with speed boost and HJK/black belt helps

    Rotom fire with discharge and RNJesus to paralyze

     

    This is actually an easy fight for the most part since volcrona will sweep the whole team after about 3 quiver dances. Even when I had 6 lapras lived and could one shot using dive which is physical and even with the berry its defense is so terrible it didn't matter.

     

    Hope this helps and good luck sir. May the eternal flame guide you

    p.s this battle was done in singles. If you try doubles as a fire team in this gym you might actually be insane.

  3. Hello to the team makers. Thank you in advanced for hearing the request I make. I'm going for an either electric or poison team. Whichever you think would be more difficult. 

     

    If electric

    Tapu koko ( i know its busted but he's so friggin cool and I never got to play s/m)

    Chinchou w/icy wind

     

    If Poison

    Ghastly male w/thunder bolt focus blast sludge wave shadow ball(sorry gengar takes like 6 years of breeding to make)

    Nidoran w iron tail eq poison jab

    Budew  w/extrasensory Sludge bomb

    Mareanie

     

    That's the requests. Unless you can make a cool (no pun intended) ice team which I couldn't. here's my save and thanks again.

    Game.rxdata

  4. I didn't see the alternate mansion raid. I'd like to replay to see that now. I never hated Fern as a character. As a character is probably one of the best written in the game if not THE best written in the game. As a person yeah he sucks... but hes supposed to and I think that's one of the characters everyone will agree does their part in the story perfectly. The real question is "can he be redeemed"... I dunno bout all that.

  5. I think Titania gets too much hate. Probably because I've actually been in her shoes. Someone who is in love with you and would bring physical harm to their body if you leave takes a toll on you mentally. Especially since its clear Titania had feelings for someone else or at least its implied her and Flo may have shared feelings (total theory here) but in order to keep Amaria from going mental she took that side. Is Titania too cold? Yes she is far too jaded for someone her age but is it unrealistic for someone to become depressed living in her shoes? Not at all, having to change and or give up your life so someone else is (at Amaria's own admission) slightly happier can and will bring you down.

  6. I agree that Saphira can be a little raw sometimes and how she has no qualms killing people isn't ideal but seeing how Solaris straight up decapitated someone tells me that Meteor as a whole shouldn't be given too much mercy since many of them don't question their means. At least until the Saphira killed half of them and now they've merged with a Cult... guess that one's on best girl

  7. Corey is one of my favorite characters in the game and his tragedy stems from not being strong enough or capable of dealing with his internal problems. Losing his wife really messed him up and depression beats some people. Corey is genuinely sympathetic and clearly doesn't like the path his head is taking him on. He doesn't ask for forgiveness or pity but what really makes him sympathetic is that he doesn't know how to ask for help.

     

    Victoria... yeah she kinda sucks. I mean the trainers you go up against aren't ever going to be real roadblocks in any pokemon game but damn could she at least get a legendary to make her "tough". Her personality is fine but she could easily be removed from the first part of the game and you wouldn't miss anything. In fact, you could probably focus more on Kiki who depends on Cal to takeover only to get that cruel heartbreak... Thanks Victoria.

     

    Amaria is the  actual worst. I remember starting this part years ago when she first jumped and thinking oh my god this is so sad but by the end when she lets known that she's aware of her toxic tendencies and how they kill Titania its... sad but man does it make me not like who I initially thought would be a crazy cool badass from her first encounter. *Also I fought her the first time during a fire type mono... so extra albeit undeserved fuck her points*

     

    Terra isn't that funny. I think there's a real backstory between her and Lin going on that I'm curious about because no way in the distortion world is she still in that computer. Hopefully she pulls a Toby from Naruto on us.

     

    Heather is not likeable but in her defense, I don't think she's supposed to be likeable. She starts off as a miserable brat and finally becomes tolerable. I think the hate comes in from the fact shes like 10 and part of the E4......................... Yup. 

     

    Feeling like this is shonen because the females aren't doing so hot.

     

    Saphira=Best girl.... that's something

  8. So I'm going through her gym and apparently Starmie learns rapid spin at lvl 1. It knows it regardless of level and Corsola's BST isn't 380... Still trying to figure that one out. Anyone experience these problems?

  9. So I just finished my fire mono on E17.... *cries in firetype* and I'm looking to do a new challenge. Two fighters and two ghosts. I will only use four mons but I know one of them I'll get flack for. Here's the lineup

    Torchic (already in)

    Marshadow (hey only four mon run... XD)

    Jangmo-o (with focus blast if thats cool)

    Honedge

    Don't need special ivs or natures. I think those four can take down the league... I hope. Note to anyone doing a fire team.... don't. Also thanks to the kind soul who makes this playthrough possible. You da best.

    Game.rxdata

  10. So that's episode 14. Those who know Taka can probably get that he's one of the stranger and more difficult characters to expand upon. Like... He only makes sense later on the road in the story and even then its only if you make certain choices. Anywho new characters mean new theme songs for said characters. For Taka I've decided on a song that I think perfectly captures him. Will you like it or appreciate it? Well If I'm being honest-

     

  11. JUSTIN

    I can eat him.

    Justin points to Blaze who begins spitting fire on his own arm.

    JUSTIN

    Self-cooking too!

    FERN

    Have fun being dead loser. I'm gonna go to the beach and deliver the good news to Victoria.

    Ferns runs off.

    JUSTIN

    I'm going to kill him.

    Fern pops his head up from below a small cliff.

    FERN

    And by good news I mean your death and me being single.

    Justin punches the gate as Fern dashes away.

    JUSTIN

    FERNNNNNN!

    Justin begins pummeling the defenseless gate causing equal damage to it and his hands. Blaze sits down looking bored at his mentor's tantrum. After a few moments a Chatot pops out of some trees and looks around. It then goes to the lever hidden in the bush and pushes it to unlock the gate.

    JUSTIN

    (suddenly calm)

    Umm... Thanks.

    The Chatot looks at Justin for a moment.

    Chatot

    Help Justin. Help Justin.

    JUSTIN

    (confused)

    Wait whuuuu?

    The music note bird scampers off with Justin and Blaze confused.

    JUSTIN

    So... Should we see who's helping us?

    Blaze nods and the two give chase ater Chatot.

    E/I. skies of Jasper

    High above the forest of Jasper are Soldier and Isabella looking for and taking out drones. Isabella points them out and Soldier quickly disposes of them causing the masses of iron to plummet into the forest below. After a few moments a vine pops up and grabs Soldier by the foot and begins pulling him down quickly. He pushes Isabella off his back and he is dragged down but she stops his descent with her psychic power long enough for him to cut through the vine. She falls past him but he is able to catch her and she returns to his back. Without time for rest more vines begin to attack the duo and Soldier begins to descend as he cuts through the vines until they safely reach the ground.

    Soldier grunts and his wings close and retract and Isabella nods. Soldier looks around then taps her on the shoulder and rolls his eyes. He then walks ahead of her. She follows him from a distance and after a few steps several vines fly past her all aiming for Soldier but before they reach the mantis she stops them all with psychic power. She holds on to the psychic grab and Soldier untucks his wings and grabs her as the two follow the vines to their source.

    E/I. JASPER FOREST

    Justin and Blaze are running through the woodwork following the footprints from the small bird.

    JUSTIN

    So... Its odd that it isn't flying right?

    Blaze caws in agreement.

    JUSTIN

    Yeah... I think this might be a trap.

    Blaze again caws in agreement.

    JUSTIN

    Man. Me and you. Great minds think alike huh?

    Blaze once again caws in agreement.

    JUSTIN

    Ohhh.... I think we were right bud.

    Justin and Blaze stumble across the second of Team Meteor's grotesque Pulse machines once again hooked up to a clearly in agony Tangrowth. A young blonde haired man wearing a purple scarf with a yellow tee and blue jeans with dark spots under his eyes and a melancholic look on his face stands by the machine with a controller in his hands. Next to him is the Chatot responsible for saving Justin.

    Taka

    Hey there bud.

    The sunny disposition of the young man's words clash heavily with his exhausted expression.

    TAKA

    You must be Justin.

    JUSTIN

    The one and only.

    TAKA

    I'm sure there are other Justins. Its a fairly common name friend.

    JUSTIN

    I... Yeah. You are?

    TAKA

    Taka. And this awful machine you see hooked up to Tangrowth is the PULSE or Pokémon Ultimation Link System Exaggerata... PULSE works.

    JUSTIN

    Okay...

    TAKA

    Ya know... I kinda want to set this guy free... Just a poke that wants to play in forests ya know.

    Justin and Blaze cautiously walk over to the young man.

    JUSTIN

    Not hard when its not attacking...

    TAKA

    Yeah... Sadly I have orders. Keep guard, stop this Justin character who takes out PULSE and admins.

    JUSTIN

    You think you're gonna be the one to stop me?

    TAKA

    Dunno. The name is Taka by the way. Good luck saving the world... Arceus knows someone needs to.

    JUSTIN

    I'm confused.

    TAKA

    I hear that a lot.

    Taka activates the PULSE with a controller.

    TAKA

    Tangrowth. Battle Mode.

    The Tangrowth has poison ooze from its body as the machine fires up. It is jolted awake and wails in pain from the command. It whips out two vines that slam and pin Justin and Blaze into a nearby wall.

    TAKA

    I know you probably wont but don't take this personally... Just something I gotta do.

    Justin and Blaze fight back the weight from the crushing vines but they are embedded further into the rock wall.

    JUSTIN

    For Arceus sake... Is this thing stronger in the forest?

    TAKA

    Fraid so.

    A blinding light comes by and slashes the vines which are then covered by psychic energy and hurled back at the Tangrowth. Justin and Blaze are covered by the same energy and lifted a few yards away from the monster and Taka.

    JUSTIN

    Thank you Izzy. Soldier.

    Both nod to Justin.

    JUSTIN

    So... Taka?

    TAKA

    Sup?

    JUSTIN

    Don't like your job, I get it. I think I know just how to get you fired... Blaze.

    The young fowl ignites his hands with a serious look.

    JUSTIN

    Step one... Wreck your shit.

    Justin lunges forward. Soldier and Blaze fly upward and attack from above.

    TAKA

    That is surprisingly easier than quitting.

    The episode closes on Justin, Blaze and Soldier about to collide with the monstrous vine and we cut to black.

    JUSTIN

    You're weird.

    End of Episode 14.

  12. JUSTIN

    Looks like its about their bedtime.

    OFFICER DEAN

    Agreed. Me and Growlithe will stick to the streets and see if we can get some gardening done. Fire types and forests aren't the best combinations.

    CHIEF

    Stay safe out their men. I'll try and get these drones working and maybe we can setup some better counter-surveillance.

    OfFICER DEAN

    Yes sir.

    JUSTIN

    Yes sir.

    Everyone except the chief exits the precinct.

    ExT. JASPER WARD dusk

    We see Officer Dean heading up streets between buildings and Justin and company going into the forest.

    JUSTIN

    I hate to say it given the state of the Ward but this does have a certain type of beauty to it... Now that I think about it. Reborn looks nothing like how my parents described it. Ten years can really change a place huh.

    Blaze pushes Justin to shake him off his train of thought.

    JUSTIN

    Sorry... Lets go.

    ExT. Jasper Forest

    Justin, Blaze, Luxcalibur, Soldier and Isabella are all cautiously walking through the forest. Nothing dangerous lurks in the forest, instead are a myriad of Bug types including Beedrill, Butterfree, Ariados and their early stage evolutions. Most are relatively docile and maintain their distance from Justin and company. A caterpie is seen crawling on Luxcalibur.

    JUSTIN

    I expected to run into some sort of danger at this point but nothing. Maybe the Meteors are just deeper but its odd since none of the Pokémon here are violent. I'm assuming-

    Justin sinks through a hole in the ground and begins to plummet while yelling.

    JUSTIN

    DO NOT ALL JUMP IN!

    The group of Pokémon all look at each other in confusion. Blaze tires of waiting and dives in after Justin. For light he ignites his hand and can see Justin slowing his descent with the poles usually holstered to his side. After a few moments they reach the bottom of the hole which is a small cave. Using Blaze's fire they look around and notice they are inside of a cage with a knocked out officer who looks as though he hasn't eaten in days.

    JUSTIN

    So Meteor is keeping them holed up huh. Dark thought but why let anyone live?

    Blaze and Justin hear steps in the distance and Blaze puts out his flame.

    JUSTIN

    We'll knock em out here. I'll lock this location and send it to Lux. They can rescue the officer.

    The steps get closer but no light comes on.

    JUSTIN

    (whispering)

    They can't possibly see down here.

    Finally the individuals reach the cell door and open it. Blaze reignites and lunges at them. We see it is a group of Nuzleaf and Shiftry.

    JUSTIN

    Nuzleaf and Shiftry. Explains the night vision.

    The wily Pokémon all snarl at Blaze.

    JUSTIN

    Wait! We surrender...

    Blaze lashes out at Justin.

    JUSTIN

    Blaze. We're on a rescue mission first. Lux and them know where here is. Let's find out if there's more okay?

    Blaze's embers weaken so that they can see.

    JUSTIN

    We good.

    The Shiftry begins to tie up Justin and Blaze's hands and the two are escorted out of the cave. When outside they can See Luxcalibur, Soldier and Isabella in the distance. Luxcalibur is about to run over but is cut off by Soldier after seeing Justin shake his head. A beep is heard on Isabella's communicator and a note pops up.

    "Head to stored location. Officer down, Lux's eyes needed"

    The group sees a map with a marker. Luxcalibur growls and heads to the location on the map alone. The small ballerina hops on Soldier's back and the two take to the skies.

    ExT. JASPER POLICE DEPARTMENT

    Luxcalibur arrives at the police station with the starved officer on his back. He growls outside the door and the chief comes out to see his hurt comrade.

    CHIEF

    Flynn? Damn it man what happened to you?!

    The excited chief pulls the downed officer to his feet off Luxcalibur and brings him inside. The chief lays him on the couch and begins to resuscitate him. He is unsuccessful after a few moments. His face is flustered as he looks unsure of what to do. Luxcalibur places his tail on Flynn's chest and gives him a light shock and he bounces up.

    Flynn

    HOLY HELL.

    Flynn recovers from the shock but then reels from his heavily growling stomach.

    FLYNN

    Thanks for the save chief.

    The chief nods to Luxcalibur.

    CHIEF

    Try again.

    FLYNN

    Saved by a Pokémon. Thank ya kindly lion.

    Luxcalibur smiles wagging his tail.

    CHIEF

    What happened to you?

    FLYNN

    Fell in a trap. Stuck in a cell. Growlithe was hurt from battling a bunch of Meteors.

    CHIEF

    So they've been setting up traps?

    FLYNN

    No. Nuzleaf and Shiftry. They setup pitfalls and crap. I don't think the Meteors know about them since I saw a few of their own fall for their fair share as well.

    CHIEF

    What did they do to you?

    FLYNN

    Nothing. Just left me in a cage they built underground.

    Flynn's stomach growls again with increased intensity.

    CHIEF

    Alright. Rest up and get something to eat.

    FLYNN

    Yes sir.

    Flynn limps to the back and the Chief pulls out a phone and calls Justin and Dean.

    ChIEF

    Dean. Justin. You copy?

    A quick shot of Justin inside of an outdoor cage and Dean pulling vines from a building's doorway.

    JUSTIN

    Copy.

    OFFICER DEAN

    Yes sir.

    CHIEF

    Apparently Meteor isn't the only problem out there.

    JUSTIN

    Nuzleaf.

    CHIEF

    Y-yeah. Did you run into them?

    JUSTIN

    Yeah. Lux should get to you soon with one of the officers we found.

    CHIEF

    He just got back.

    JUSTIN

    Yeah I'm guessing they want this turf. Ran into the same problem underground in the city with rival Pokémon gangs.

    OfFICER DEAN

    Arceus damn! What should we do?

    CHIEF

    Stay on your damn toes officer!

    OFFICER DEAN

    Yes sir.

    CHIEF

    Justin remember they aren't the problem so if you encounter more don't waste your energy if you don't have to.

    JUSTIN

    Got it.

    CHIEF

    Still gonna be a while until I get the drone working. Luxcalibur did a real number on it.

    Luxcalibur growls angrily.

    CHIEF

    Not complaining. Only have one because of you.

    He pets the young lion calming him down.

    JUSTIN

    Lux. Try to regroup with Soldier and Izzy. Much easier than trying to find us.

    Luxcalibur leaves the station.

    CHIEF

    He's heading out. I'm off too. Keep the line clear in case they can hear us too.

    JUSTIN

    Copy.

    OFFICER DEAN

    Roger.

    All three hang up and we focus back on Justin and Blaze trapped in the cage.

    JUSTIN

    So... Blaze.

    Blaze nods but before he can begin to tear down the cage Fern walks up.

    JUSTIN

    No......

    Fern

    Well well well....

    JUSTIN

    No.......

    FERN

    WELL WELL WELL.....

    JUSTIN

    NOOOOOOOOOO........

    FERN

    WELLLLLLL WELLLLLL WELLLLL.....

    JUSTIN

    For Arceus sake why now....

    Fern paces around the cage's entrance and uncovers a lever hidden by a small bush.

    FERN

    Justin... Why am I not surprised? I came up here looking for a gym but all I see is a scrub in a cage.

    JUSTIN

    You do realize this area is in lockdown and the gym leader may be dead right? I love ripping on people too but maybe this isn't the time for you to be you.

    FERN

    Please. No stupid lockdown can keep me out.

    JUSTIN

    Do you just not know what words are?

    FERN

    I couldn't expect a simpleton like you to understand how MY mind works.

    JUSTIN

    You got me there.

    FERN

    Of course I do. And as a sign of respect for you realizing your mistakes I will open this gate for you.

    JUSTIN

    Golly what a hero.

    FERN

    All you need to do is take a knee and ask nicely.

    JUSTIN

    I would but sadly it isn't opposite day so...

    FERN

    Last chance Justurd I will let you rot in there.

  13. The battle for Beryl rages on with Justin and Team Shenanigans finally entering Jasper forest to take down Team Meteor and save the plant infested wards. It seems there are more perils that lurk in the wood work besides just Meteor. The true danger behind Beryl and Jasper has yet to be discovered but the real mystery is will taking down those responsible truly bring piece to this sliver of Reborn. Only time can tell in this installment of Justin's Story. The Battle for Beryl Part 2: Administrative Duties.

     

    ExT. jasper ward

    The episode continues where the last left off with Justin charging towards the forest. As he approaches the entrance he is attacked by vines. They lunge at him but he grabs them and locks them down between his arm and torso.

    Justin

    LUX!

    Luxcalibur jumps in the air and looses a thunderbolt which burns the vines to ash.

    JUSTIN

    Where's the trail of that vine lead bud.

    Luxcalibur's eyes glow and he looks around the area and is startled upon looking down. Justin turns around to see Blaze breath out a flame thrower that just misses him and scorches more vines that come from the woodwork.

    JUSTIN

    What in the distortion world was that?

    Luxcalibur growls and Justin sees the vines are coming from the ground.

    JUSTIN

    This is bad.

    Officer

    Its worse than you think. Check out the weather right now.

    The group looks upwards minus Luxcalibur and Soldier who are looking at a tree next to the police station.

    JUSTIN

    A ripe sunny day. Makes it hard for surprise attacks.

    OFFICER

    And hard to fight grass types like the one hooked up to that crazy machine in the forest.

    JUSTIN

    (sighing)

    Yeah... Forgot about that.

    OFFICER

    It sounds dangerous but I've made significantly more progress at night.

    Soldier kneels next to Luxcalibur and the two whisper between each other.

    JUSTIN

    Meteor might have surveillance. If that's the case then it just might be harder to track us after dark.

    OFFICER

    I hate to think they're keeping a better eye on us than we are on them.

    JUSTIN

    Hey Lux, Soldier. Wanna take to the skies and give us a birdy eye report?

    Luxcalibur shakes his head.

    JUSTIN

    Ummm okay.

    Justin looks at his partner confused. Luxcalibur rises to his hind legs and Soldier bolts away in a flash then a man screams as he is flung from the tree by the side of the station. When he lands Luxcalibur comes down and presses his front legs on the man's chest.

    JUSTIN

    (shocked)

    How about that?

    The officer rushes over to the man now being held prisoner.

    Meteor

    Let me guess... I have the right to remain si-

    The police officer punches the man in the jaw.

    JUSTIN

    I think we're supposed to interrogate a certain way first.

    OFFICER

    This is one of the maniacs behind the train station bombing!

    JUSTIN

    (shocked)

    What?

    METEOR

    Hey nobody important got hurt.

    The meteor snickers and the officer punches him again. Before a third punch lands Justin pulls the officer off of him.

    JUSTIN

    If he's knocked out or dead, he can't help us.

    METEOR

    Who says I will anyway?

    JUSTIN

    I dunno. How do you feel about heights?

    METEOR

    (confused)

    I... Wha?

    In the next shot we Soldier dropping the man from several hundred feet in the air. He screams in terror as he falls at high speeds. Descending next to him is Isabella who looks worried for the man. Justin can be heard through a communicator on her wrist.

    JUSTIN

    Hey Izzy. He have a change of heart yet?

    The man pulls Isabella's watch closer and yells violently into it.

    METEOR

    YES FOR ARCEUS SAKE I'LL TALK!

    JUSTIN

    Beam em up Scotty.

    Isabella teleports them up to Soldier who then gently flies them both down. He throws the meteor to the ground hard.

    JUSTIN

    Have fun big guy?

    MeTEOR

    (furious)

    What do you think-

    Justin raises his hand about to signal a second flight.

    METEOR

    (soft spoken)

    About helping this sick man reform his awful ways.

    JUSTIN

    I'd love to help. Officer...

    Officer dean

    Dean. I'll take him to holding. See what we can get out of him.

    JUSTIN

    Alright.

    OFFICER DEAN

    In the mean time I suggest you kids wait till night. Fight during the day and you're just giving them the edge.

    JUSTIN

    Yeah, I'd rather catch them sleeping... and would you look at that.

    Everyone stares at the captive Meteor goon.

    JUSTIN

    We have their old alarm clock.

    The groups glares quickly change to grins.

    METEOR

    Awww slurpuff tails.

    Int. jasper police department

    Only Officer Dean, the Chief and another officer are in the precinct along with one Growlithe. Justin and company are all sitting at a table with the police chief standing a few feet away explaining the scenario. Luxcalibur stands by the door with eyes in full glow.

    Chief

    I'm certain they have surveillance but its nearly impossible to figure out where it is. Their moves don't always counter ours and every once in a while we're caught in a trap. Hence the dwindling numbers.

    JUSTIN

    Lux.

    The young lion turns to Justin.

    JUSTIN

    What's in the skies bud?

    Luxcalibur looks up and walks through the precinct. He then exits the building.

    CHIEF

    What is he-

    JUSTIN

    Give em a minute.

    A few crashes are heard outside. After a moment Luxcalibur walks in with several drones in his mouth. They spark and fade in and out of view.

    CHIEF

    Cloaking...

    JUSTIN

    More where that came from?

    Luxcalibur points to the distance.

    JUSTIN

    Figured. Take a breather bud. You've never been pushed and I'd rather not see your limit hit while we're here.

    Luxcalibur nods and goes to lay down.

    CHIEF

    Thank you for giving us some freedom again. I'd go further in detail but I'm told you've been briefed more than once already.

    JUSTIN

    Yeah. Can you tell me about any places people could still be hiding if they've been holding out.

    CHIEF

    That's the question of the year kid. Until you told me about the young woman in the nearby complex... I assumed the worst.

    JUSTIN

    Does anything come to mind?

    CHIEF

    Well... Its a long shot but.

    JUSTIN

    But?

    Officer Dean comes from the back room. His fists are bandaged and traces of blood can be seen on them.

    CHIEF

    I take it our guest wasn't as ready to talk as we hoped?

    OfficeR DEAN

    We shared choice words for each other's co-workers... Finally he told me about a small group that his friends were trying to reach. They've been holed up in the Beryl Public Library. A lone girl has been wreaking havoc on anyone who tries to break in.

    CHIEF

    That's what I had hoped people reached and stayed safe.

    OFFICER DEAN

    Luckily its 100% intact.

    JUSTIN

    So we need to reach the library and we can save?

    OfFICER DEAN

    Barring a few casualties... Everyone.

    The police chief yells in excitement.

    CHIEF

    Arceus be fucking praised!

    JUSTIN

    We can trust this information to not be a trap?

    OFFICER DEAN

    Can trust him as far as I can throw em

    CHIEF

    And Dean can't throw for shit.

    Both officers chuckle.

    OFFICER DEAN

    Thanks Chief. But seriously Justin, as much as we want it to be the case we can't rule out it being a trap.

    CHIEF

    That said however, the library has a large stockpile of food for literally this kind of scenario. Scary problem is a couple weeks ago I saw a Salamance flying and a small girl with a large bag away from the direction of the library.

    JUSTIN

    Think its the same defender?

    CHIEF

    Can't know for sure until we secure the library.

    JUSTIN

    Alright. We need to secure a route to Beryl.

    OffICER DEAN

    Yeah. If we can help just say the word.

    Justin raises his Pokégear on his wrist and the cops raises his gear and the two bump them and a bing is heard.

    JUSTIN

    Stay in contact Officer Dean. If either of us need backup just say it.

    OFFICER DEAN

    Dean is fine Justin.

    Outside the windows we see the setting sun.

  14. I honestly think there is a decent playlist with all the songs I've used for these past thirteen episodes. If anyone is cranking them out at parties just #djJustNBlaze They'll get it. As for this episode's song. The person(s) this is devoted to is the entirety of Team Shenanigans. The song that kind of put me back in the work mood. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. I like this version best and think everyone should listen to it when they need a kick in the pants which Shenanigans is good at. Without further uhhdoo...

     

  15. SEACREST

    Where you going?

    JUSTIN

    Talk to Nancy. Just get as much information as I can.

    Blaze grabs Justin's shoulder.

    JUSTIN

    Relax bud, I'll be right back. Just train or sleep for a bit.

    Justin leaves and Blaze looks on worried.

    SEACREST

    Calm down McNuggets, your dad will be back.

    InT. sEACREST'S GARDEN

    Its a few hours later and the group is in the lobby of Seacrest's manor. Justin walks in with four small books.

    JUSTIN

    (surprised)

    Oh hey guys. Guess you're all a little antsy. Here.

    Justin approaches each of his team members and hands them one of his booklets.

    JUSTIN

    That's our base outline plus field objectives and several emergency plans of escape should Grimer hit the fan. Learn it and love it by tomorrow. I'm gonna take a nap.

    Justin goes into the garden and lays against a tree. He looks into the air staring at the clouds when all of a sudden something lands on his lap. He looks down to see Luxcalibur laying across his legs reading his book. He pets his lion companion and looks up only to once again feel another bump. This time it is Blaze with his back to Justin's arm. Without missing a beat Isabella occupies his other arm and Soldier jumps onto the branch above and Lucky finishes the kodak moment by sitting on Luxcalibur's back. Justin smiles looking at his team all studiously devoted to their books. The scene fades from afar.

    ExT. jasper ward

    Justin, Blaze, Luxcalibur, Soldier and Isabella all stand side by side at the entrance to the Jasper ward. A lone officer stands in front of them.

    JUSTIN

    Hello officer. You probably heard about our arrival.

    Officer

    Heard it'd be another week before you were ready.

    JUSTIN

    People may not be able to wait that long.

    OFFICER

    Its not just Beryl as you will see.

    JUSTIN

    Jasper too. I read the report.

    OFFICER

    Beryl is definitely in worse shape but neither ward is good at the moment.

    JUSTIN

    We intend to fix that.

    OFFICER

    Arceus I hope so. Luckily me, my partner and the chief were able to free up the station so if you need to rest feel free to stop there.

    JUSTIN

    Got it.

    OFFICER

    Well then... Shall we?

    Just as everyone is ready to start their journey a young girl runs towards Justin and company.

    Young woman

    WAIT PLEASE!

    She reaches the halted group panting after her run.

    JUSTIN

    What's wrong?

    YOUNG WOMAN

    My... My...

    JUSTIN

    Take a deep breath.

    She regains her composure after a moment and starts talking again.

    YOUNG WOMAN

    My friend has been stuck in Jasper ward for weeks.

    JUSTIN

    Since the outbreak?

    YOUNG WOMAN

    Yes. You have to save her.

    OFFICER

    We will do our best but you can't get your hopes up. So please-

    YOUNG WOMAN

    NO! You don't understand. Her cell phone just died yesterday. I've been comforting her once a day to keep her sane but since it died now she's just scared and alone... Please-

    Justin's eyes widen.

    YOUNG WOMAN

    She lives in the only standing housing building. Its just left of the Pokémon center-

    Justin begins a mad dash up the stairs and his team follows suit.

    OFFICER

    Wait Justin!... Miss your friend will be safe. You can count on us.

    YOUNG WOMAN

    Thank you... Please save her!

    The officer runs up the stairs and catches up to Justin and his team who are in shock at the devastation done to Jasper. Once flourishing buildings eroded due to rampant vines. The streets torn to pieces now held together by seams of plants and roots. Grass type Pokémon dance among the damage they now call their home. Justin looks upon the infestation with more rage and frustration than shock. Blaze and Isabella place their hands on his arms and he calms down.

    JUSTIN

    I'm okay. Team Meteor will pay for this but that waits until after we've saved everyone who is still holding out. For every soul in Jasper and every body in Beryl we will fight until we can't anymore and when we can't we will push past that. Much like the Sky Dragon... We eat meteors. Now then. LET'S GO!

    Justin charges headfirst into the forest with his team right behind him and we freeze on the group about to enter the harrowing forest.

    End of episode 13.

  16. VICTORIA

    Yes they do. But what about you?

    JUSTIN

    Well I want you with me but I'm not gonna die if left alone.

    VICTORIA

    So you know then-

    Justin looks confused.

    JUSTIN

    About what?

    VICTORIA

    (shocked)

    Nothing. Its just you know how hopeless the students can be without me sometimes.

    Justin winks.

    JUSTIN

    Can't say I'm not jealous.

    VICTORIA

    Then something until we meet again.

    Victoria moves in close and gives Justin a long passionate kiss.

    JUSTIN

    Uhh....

    VICTORIA

    I would of liked if we could have finished our date.

    JUSTIN

    M.m.m.me too.

    (clearing his throat)

    I mean we'll just have to set up something in the future. Like a picnic on the beach.

    VICTORIA

    I'd like that... well. See you later Justin.

    Victoria leaves the garden with Justin hopelessly lost as she walks out. He slowly returns to his friends who are all grinning including the once sleeping Blaze and Lucky. Justin clears his throat.

    JUSTIN

    WHO IS THE GREATEST TRAINER IN REBORN?!

    His team all cheer and point at him as he makes a pose.

    JUSTIN

    WHO IS GONNA TAKE DOWN TEAM METEOR NO MATTER WHAT?!

    Taking another pose Justin continues his chants.

    JUSTIN

    WHO IS THE BEST LOOKIN' BAG OF BAD ASSERY KNOWN AS JUSTIN FREAKIN' WEYLAND?!

    His team continues to cheer supporting his overblown ego.

    JUSTIN

    AND WHO IS READY TO KICK SOME ASS THEN AS A REWARD HEAD ON OVER TO THE BEACH FOR A SUMMER PARTY?!!!!

    Everyone excluding Seacrest jump and dance around the invigorated young trainer. We see Victoria outside smiling while hearing Justin's energetic rant. Back inside everyone is playing and dancing around.

    SEACREST

    Who is the rowdiest group of kids in Reborn?

    Team Shenanigans continue their wild parade.

    SEACREST

    Yeah... All of those questions were pretty obvious.

    InT. sEACREST'S GARDEN

    It is early the next morning. Justin, Blaze, Luxcalibur, Soldier and Isabella are gathered in the center of the garden.

    JUSTIN

    So guys. Serious talk here. Beryl Ward is a complete disaster and even in the rough shape its in, I'm not sure how we're going to pull through. What's worse is we can't all go.

    Everyone looks at Justin surprised.

    JUSTIN

    The garden would be left unprotected. Ideally I want at least two of you to stay here.

    The group shouts in protest and Seacrest comes outside.

    SEACREST

    They're taking that about as well as I expected.

    JUSTIN

    We can't leave you without help. Its usually when Magma attacks. I may not be able to rush back either.

    SEACREST

    Well then you may want to talk to someone.

    JUSTIN

    Who-

    Seacrest points to the doorway and a young light skinned man sits in the doorway. He has a slightly muscular build. He's dressed in tattered blue jeans and a large blue and white varsity coat with a #1 on the back. He has steely blue eyes and nods his head for Justin to come over. Justin makes his way over to the young burly blue clad man.

    JUSTIN

    Hello. How can I help you?

    Archer

    Me? Can't do much for me but I can help you.

    JUSTIN

    That right?

    ARCHER

    The name is Archer. I'm the guy who runs the team you impersonated.

    JUSTIN

    Team Aqua.

    ARCHER

    Damn right. I hear you and your boys beat Magma's ass a few times.

    JUSTIN

    Yeah. Bad teams tend to get hurt around us.

    ARCHER

    Cute threat. I'd like you to meet my friend.

    Archer walks outside with Justin following after. Archer looks into the purple discolored ocean smiling then pulls out a beautiful brightly blue jewel.

    ARCHER

    Watcher of the twisted waves...

    Justin looks at the Aqua leader in horror.

    JUSTIN

    Impossible.

    ARCHER

    Defender of the dying sea and guardian over my weak world. I beseech thee. May I be cleansed by your presence.

    The jewel in Archer's hand glows brilliantly and slowly an immense creature rises from the water which is all purified surrounding its immediate area. The Sea Basin Pokémon Kyogre rises to the surface.

    ARCHER

    Hey Levi. My bud here is gonna join us in cleaning up this dump. Just wanted you to see him for yourself.

    The large ocean dweller Pokémon speaks in a soft yet powerful feminine voice. The echo from her words reverberate through Justin's spine and for the first time we see fear in his eyes and frailty in his voice.

    Leviathan

    Ahhh. Justin correct?

    ARCHER

    How do you-

    Justin clears his throat to ease his own nerves and deflects Archer's question.

    JUSTIN

    (rushing Leviathan)

    Boring story. Yes I am. You can go now.

    LEVIATHAN

    Hmmm. Be wary Archer. This one attracts danger.

    Leviathan the Kyogre sinks back into the water which is once again sullied once she disappears.

    JUSTIN

    So. You care to explain?

    ARCHER

    You clearly like secrets so you keep yours and I'll keep mine.

    JUSTIN

    Sorry. I have to for now.

    ARCHER

    Got it. Anyway, Levi promised to keep the Magmas out so thats why Maxine wont be bothering you ever again.

    JUSTIN

    What do you get out of this? Are your members trapped in Beryl?

    ARCHER

    No. My team is small and generally sticks together. However I can see clear as day that this gross city will be clean again. When that time comes, I'd like your help in getting my boys clean.

    JUSTIN

    Really?

    ARCHER

    I make investments... Justin from Blackthorn. So what do you say?

    JUSTIN

    Keep my house and friends safe and when the police return, I'll make sure they overlook your past

    (clears throat)

    Activities.

    ARCHER

    My man.

    JUSTIN

    What was your friend's name?

    ARCHER

    Leviathan...

    (grinning)

    Yours?

    JUSTIN

    Helena.

    ARCHER

    Interesting. Well. See you around Justin. Stay fresh.

    Archer leaves. Justin stares into the ocean for a few moments before returning inside. Seacrest meets him by the fountain.

    SEACREST

    What did he say? Did you boys fight, I heard a lot of splashing.

    JUSTIN

    No... He's good.

    SEACREST

    Relatively. He runs a gang.

    JUSTIN

    No Seacrest. He's good. Like... Just trust me. The garden will be safe from here on out. At least from any fires.

    Seacrest studies Justin for a moment.

    SEACREST

    Alright.

    Justin and Seacrest make their way back into the garden with Justin's team eagerly awaiting their captain. Justin approaches the planning table and takes a deep breath.

    JUSTIN

    Blaze. Luxcalibur. Soldier. Isabella. The five of us are going to save Beryl.

    All members nod.

    JUSTIN

    I wont lie to you. This will be extremely dangerous and all of you are to read the reports and finish them by tomorrow. We will have plans in case of separation so no matter who you are split with you will have the best way to work with them even if one or both of you are injured. Lux and you too Soldier will be our biggest assets. Soldier you have aerial advantage and Lux you can see everything. If things take a drastic turn you follow my outline and I will finish alone if need be.

    Blaze punches Justin in the chest.

    JUSTIN

    (chuckling)

    I know... Figured I'd try anyway.

    (serious)

    We need to be smart about this. Our first goal is to save any survivors. 2nd is to find and assist Corey if he's still alive. 3rd is the police force. Lastly we take down team meteor. I know the police force should be first but they have the biggest advantage here so they can most likely hold out the best. The survivors will be hard. Izzy you will imprint at Grand Hall so we can quickly teleport anyone there.

    Isabella nods.

    JUSTIN

    If you guys have any objections let me know. There is no turning back once we go in the forests.

    Lucky hops on the table and jumps into Justin yelling in objection to his exclusion.

    JUSTIN

    (smiling)

    Sorry bud. You're not quite ready for the battle scene.

    Lucky swings his arms and they begin to glow.

    JUSTIN

    Yes metronome is cute Lucky but it can hardly compare to-

    A large shadow overtakes the garden, everyone looks up in shock to see a large meteor rain down.

    JUSTIN

    Is that... Draco meteor?

    In an instant a torrent of crystal clear water obliterates the meteor and rains light clean water over the garden.

    SEACREST

    What the heck was that?

    JUSTIN

    (nervous)

    Must of been Izzy's teleport.

    She begins to interject.

    JUSTIN

    That quick thinking will save lives Izzy. Good job.

    She tries to speak again but Justin throws a rare candy into her mouth.

    JUSTIN

    No need to thank me...

    (serious)

    Just. Eat.

    The young ballerina looks on confused as Seacrest looks at Justin full of suspicion.

    JUSTIN

    Now then kids. Go train, rest, prepare or just walk around and ease your nerves. I'll have plans ready in about six hours. I'll be back.

    Justin begins to leave.
