SpoilerOn 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:
God...back in the day going at my own pace used to mean a chapter every 3 days...sad to see what things have become...
Getting slow old man! Time (and this region. . .) have worn you down.
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Very true.
He'd be disgusted if he knew that the police would call me a murderer for using my Vanilluxe to freeze people.
He wouldn't like be treated as a murder weapon and not a murderer.
So I guess most of Aevium is safe for the time being (besides the people that Freezer that has already whacked.)
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I don't think we have to worry about that.
It's masked hero characters that usually end up just being some guy while masked villian character are always famous industrialists or something.
She's probably Saki's Mom or something.
So if you defeat her, you win Saki's hand in marriage and get her money then! For the good of the region of course!
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:My spirit animal is a DRAGON goddamit! I ain't accepting a fucking BUSH as one.
How about a Bush Dragon, the best of both worlds? Or at the very least a Mega Sceptile?
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It also never fucking comes up after this.
Like nobody ever talks about it again.
It's weird.
Be willing to bet it comes up in the final arc. Vitus/Madame X/whoever pulls a fast one and we got to use a time diamond to fix yet another mess.
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:All they need to do is get arrested one by one until the Evil Team Leader realises how much damage the player has done and stages a jailbreak. That'd be much better than them just walking right past us out the fucking door!
Don't worry. There's going to be at least TWO people in the group that are utterly irredeemable so we can pour all our hate on them.
Guessing the hatesink would be Indriad plus the two jokers in visors. Hell they kinda are already since Indriad is basically Aevium Satan and the other two are trying to essentially destroy the world.
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Nah. This whole thing was meant to be a lesson for Melia, right?
Gotta prioritise the greater good over her own selfish desires and whatnot.
See that wouldn't work on me. I'd get the lesson and learn nothing from it because I still prefer the selfish option.
After all this I will be shocked if there isn't a point later where Melia has the choose between saving Venam and handing over some plot device. It'd make this whole arc pointless other wise.
Learn nothing out of spite sounds about right.
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:That's pretty good but I wouldn't have given it Lightning Rod myself. Rapidash should stay a physical attack.
Volt Absorb would be much better.
Or heck even Motor Drive to make it even faster.
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Heartbroken?
He's basically an escaped convict! I caught him in a 2 dollar ball so now he owes me a lifetime of servitude!
Whatever lets you sleep at night, dude.
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Well it makes sense, right? Dragons are always said to be proud creatures in fantasy!
And she's always been a little prideful.
Or maybe smug is a better word?
My endless praises can't have helped matters.
You've basically spoiled her, but she seems to have turned out alright. So i guess it's fine.
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:She must have!
Her and Crescent are the only ones that know me from before my Trainer Card registration.
Something something emotions overridng common sense something.
At least that's my best guess anyways.
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:How will Pokemon survive the loss of Ash?
Easily, sadly. All the money is in merchandise.
I will probably still be teary-eyed at his last scene though.
Hell more than a few people have been calling for Ash to be replaced since at least Johto.
Won't lie, the last episode will probably be a gut punch for me. I still can't believe it honestly.
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Copycat...isn't an ability?
Well of course she does. She's in a skin-tight catsuit!
Shoot I meant Imposter, some Pokemon Master I am.
No Sean don't let her curves distract you from the Evil!
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:If he dares, I'll fuck his sister.
Hell I'll MARRY his sister and come to every single family get together just to spite him.
He'll counter by naming their first born child after you, in retaliation.
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I never got past that damn thing.
Even when I went back with a Rockruff in managed to get 3 critical hits so I threw in the towel out of frustration.
If it makes you feel any better, the run ended soon after because of a double battle where my partner got wiped out pretty early. Leaving me 2 on 1 with a bunch of mons weak to bug types.
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:What I really want to know is where she got a human bodysuit to perform well enough to graduate. But we'll never know now...
Hahaha actually I think I'd prefer if she never did but the whole MeliaXSean romance still happens so we put her statue in the living room of the home Melia and I raise her kids in.
And every night, you see a single tear fall from the statue.
Hey maybe they had an Oranguru teaching the classes for the Pokemon?
From love interest to furniture, truly a cruel fate to inflict.
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Unlikely. The positions they'd get would be ones they'd probably be going into anyway. Like Aelita becoming Leader of Sheridan or Melia finally opening her fucking gym.
And it's going to be a MOSTLY benevolent dictatorship anyway so they shouldn't complain too much.
Aside from the laws I specifically make to annoy them.
Make it so Melia has no custodians so she has to clean the gym by herself, that would be funny. And make it so that Venam can no longer legally use that "Dogars" so from BW2, or face permanent jail time. Just for the hell of it.
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeah she's just doing her whole "hoisting the dead body above her head" thing and suddenly it kicks her in the face.
Would be way cooler than taking a fucking lava bath.
Man that would be cool. I'd say maybe next time you battle, but Madame X knows your immortal now too. So no luck there.
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:The most part being relevant to this specific chapter, yes?
. . . Yeah mostly. The trap door never fails to make me laugh. It's just so looney toons.
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I did it for COMEDY not masochism!
I dunno...have you heard her talk about Melia sometimes? It sounds pretty obsessive to me.
It's the same thing after a certain point really.
Well it less "I need more power", more "I want to get in your pants" in Venam's case.
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I could see it happening...
But what I don't want to see is what happens if I use Nasty Plot twice
Zauis turns evil, takes over Team Xen and makes it much more efficient. You gotta put him down like Old Yeller afterwards.
On 2/3/2023 at 9:39 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Maybe it was the ol' Derogatory Luck since I was actually playing as myself and not three randos?
Never played them I'm afraid. Only ever had a Wii and nothing good Pokemon-Wise came out on that.
It's honestly amazing how little Pokemon did with the Wii. Could have easily put a Snap game on there or something.

QuoteFUTURE SEAN: Going back and reading over this I can tell you I 100% did forget.
And I'm not even the Future Sean from the year 2023.
I'm rewriting some of this chapter like a week after I wrote the "Super Dead" system and I still forgot about it.Future Sean, Past Sean, and Present Sean in a three way battle for control of the run and the fate of Aevium. Truly the battle of the ages.

If Minecraft is still hip? Or is it Fortnite that the kids dig nowadays?
Or does does it go by age?
5 year olds play Roblox, 10 year olds play Minecraft and then 15 year olds play Fortnite?Honestly that sounds about right, though replace Minecraft with more Roblox for the 10 year olds. At least that what it seems like where I work.
QuoteIT'S EVIL FUCKING MELIA!
...
Ugh. Now I feel even WORSE about Zira...
She died literally right before an acceptable MEALia appeared.
Feels bad, man.Zira looks from Pokeheaven and seethes.
QuoteI bet you were shitting yourself when you saw us look at it.
Imagine if we just used it like anyone who wanted and advantage would.
I'd like to see this rugrat be so uppity if we all rode in here on the backs of several majestic Ho-oh!I uh, I got nothing for this part. I honestly think Jan didn't think this part through.

Well I don't actually know what he looks like so I thought I should cover most of the slur bases in a sort of Ultimate Bigotry Blast!Good job sean. Your flaming cross and white robes are in the mail and will arrive within a week! Sure it'll make up for the inevitable cancellation.
Quote
Amazing that she fell for that, be nice if she broke her neck on teh way down, but you aren't that lucky.
Quote
And the dumbest point of this whole arc, like the only reason I can remotely justify this is that they're all extremely desperate. But still, they barely question it before turning on you. I feel like Amber is still wailing on Melia the whole time you're battling.
Quote
How much of yourself died writing that, just for posterity?

10/10 Best edit of the whole run, no contest.
I'm honestly surprised you didn't just edit yourself rushing Melanie and punting her across the room.

The whole Phoenix Wright edit was pretty fun too. Judge Caesar and PNG Sean were pretty good.

Oh crap I'd forgotten completely about this. Prophet being either useless or helpful, no in between. Just the way he'd want.

SO, SO LONG!
Gay Melia.15/10 I laughed out loud when I saw you grab her ankles, knew exactly what was coming there. Welp time to watch you die horribly again and watch someone resolve the plot. Just another day in Aevium.

Well so much for finishing before 2022 ends!

My defense isn't as good either because I just didn't feel like updating.
Lie as easily as you breathe I see!
You mean you were lying about hurting your hand, shocked truly I am!
No but seriously its all good. Go at your own pace.
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:*Sigh*
Unfortunately, that's a good point.
That's be nice but sadly, I'm Buu Saga Piccolo.
Constantly yelling at blonde children.
You really are, it's honestly kind of hilarious.
Especially considering what happens with Melia in a few chapters.
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I think I only ever learned about it from watching the English Dub trailers on the Ghost Stories DVD Boxset.
It was back in those early 2000s anime craze where they'd dub literally anything.
I never got the thinking behind something like that.
When doing kinky shit do people really consider what their partner's father would think about this?
It's fucking weird.
Honestly Voice actors gotta take what they can get work wise. Not a very lucrative job from what I've seen.
Also apparently the original Japanese dub of Ghost Stories was apparently not super great, so they figured they might as well make fun of it.
Unless it's like a "Haha take that old man, I'm banging your daughter!" sort of deal, probably not?
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeah the whole server crash thing is a worry.
It's why I always preferred the anime putting all the Pokemon on a reserve. Much more palpable than being stored as data.
Yeah that works, Oak's lab is pretty cool. Also on that note, apparently they're about to retire Ash after 25 years. I was genuinely shocked.
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It turned out better than I thought. But I did draw the eyes. I just copied how they looked in the portraits.
I was always better at looking and copying an image than actually being good at drawing.
Oh yeah. And the cape would have to go. I have no idea how to draw the physics on that thing.
That works.
Clearly your hidden ability is Copycat.
Madame X probably looks better without the cape, anyways. Few can pull one off without looking silly.
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:She can't die! Who will be Ren's girlfriend if not her?
Why it's Aelita obviously! You're just Ren's wingman!
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It literally would be.
The craziest thing this game could do would be that.
I think Jan and co spend more time writing dialogue for the game than actual coding and what not.
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It'll be like "Today Damien taught us that Fire types are strong against Grass types!" while I'm screaming "WHY THE FUCK IS HE TEACHING YOU THAT SHIT NOW!?!? I'M LITERALLY FIGHTING A GIANT FUCKING WHALE WITH LINK FROM LEGEND OF ZELDA!"
I THINK I don't use it in Part 4.
...
I THINK.
Man Damien must think the kids REALLY suck at Pokemon. Even Venam at the very least knows the type chart.
That means Part 4 Sean absolutely did not equip it then!
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I'm still in awe of the one time he just decided to grab the Heat Stone before Cera did. Surprised the hell out of me.
And it's not as bad as the singing in the Switch Gamefreak games either.
God were those stupid ideas.
Gotta save up those actions for the right moment I guess.
Honestly I think GameFreak is doing this deliberately now, like one of the new Gym leaders is a rapper. With no sound its all so awkward.
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:The battles I actually prepare for usually go much better for me (if the cards aren't stacked too far against me, field-wise).
Zira died because I was trying to get through the Grunts as fast as possible and that's on me.
I'm definitely guilty of that. Trying Desolation again, I beat that Aipom with no losses but ran into a double battle without healing first. Not my finest moment.
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I could nearly have a full box of all the Fighting types that have died on me in this run.
And yet my bugs just keep on fucking thriving...
Clearly Crawli was right about what he said at the end of his Gym battle.
Poor poor Bluster and Coffee. . .
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:But unlike Caesar she was nuts in her own special way. Also a ballerina for some reason.
Hmmm...nibbling on her neck WOULD make Venam mad though...
But if I keep going down this train of thought, the game will end up with Melia and I dying of old age together while Venam seethes in an old folks home.
Hey she earned that degree with blood and sweat. . . . though not necessarily her own blood. . .
At this rate, Venam is gonna break out of her statue from sheer anger. What a good friend you are!
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeah, I'd hate for them all to die for nothing by trying to oppose me.
They should just shake their heads and go "Oh, Sean!" when I start tightening my iron fist around the region.
Most likely but I'll never know.
And I don't know if it makes it better or worse if it has it.
Give them good positions in your knew dictatorship and they could be happy.
Poor Zira was doomed the second that Aggron came out.
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Nah, the run would end at Blacksteeple due to the writer giving up due to not realising how much effort would be needed to complete this.
It'd go something like Madame X stabbing them instead of Nancy and they say some trite shit about telling their friends to go on without them.
As their eyes start to darken their last words are "At least...they'll be safe..."
And the last panel is pure black.
Which then ALSO leaves it up to being continued if the writer feels like it.
Now THAT is an evil cliffhanger.
It'd be wild if that was the moment you found out the MC was immortal in the actual game. Only slightly less traumatic than what actually happens!
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Google what Inspector Gadget's weaknesses are right now.
...
His only weakness is that he's an idiot.
Goddammit.
Unfortunately, Madame X is an asshole but not an idiot for the most part.
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Alas, common sense is the rarest Pokemon of all...
I imagine her weird armor would protect her from any blows we'd land but it'd still be satisfying to bash her head in with a 2x4 even if it was mostly ineffective.
Yeah I'd doubt it would be that easy. But hell its worth a shot.
Definitely great stress relief too like a punching bag.
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Seaniqua is WAY worse than Girl-Sean, in my opinion.
Oh I was referring that name, most definitely.
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Twas I, Dex! Twas the Derogatory Trainer who wrote the insult at himself! What a twist it is!
Yeah. She's bitchy enough towards Amber that I'm starting to think she's secretly Evil Veronica.
Hey your masochism is your own business.
She can't be Evil Veronica because she's not awkwardly flirting with Melia enough.
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:They won't do shit.
I'll kick their ass even at 70 consarnit!
They'll hide your pills and steal your cane grandpa.
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It was one of the better ones in this game.
A gimmick I have with his character is that getting hit by or using Dark type moves like Sucker Punch and Nasty Plot make him a lot less zen and peaceful.
I reckon by Part 4 Zaius will snap, with the next time he uses Nasty Plot turning him into a cackling Supervillain.
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Nope! I've got something much better planned...
I'm not going to use it at all!
Derogatory Trainer: Pokemon Genius.
I am in awe.
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It was self-defense and I maintain that until I speak to my lawyer.
And if he disagrees I will assault him too.
In self-defense.
You can't just assault everyone, you'll run out of people some time.
On 1/2/2023 at 6:15 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I tried doing another one and I'm still alive due to the starter I got.
Slaking unhampered by Truant is a goddamn BEAST.
Clearly there's a pattern here with your nuzlockes.
Yeah there's a reason the big strat of the final boss of Pokemon Colosseum is getting rid of Truant.
Chapter Comments:

Well I'd argue that those are Chiller's skeletons due to the cause of death being him...
But unfortunately for me the whole "There are no bad Pokemon, just bad Trainers." thing is an actual law in this region.
Pretty much. Though I can't imagine you getting off scot-free either.
Hell, when I think about it, things would probably be even worse for me legally since I can actually understand you lot.Well at least you have to worry about Chiller then! He'd be downright insulted if they gave credit for his kills to you!

GOOD GOD WE'D NEVER FIGURE OUT WHO SHE WAS THEN!That'd be really smart honestly. . . which is probably why you dont have to worry about that happening. Assuming we know the person under the helmet. I'm half expecting madame x to be a all new character under that thing.

Quote
Ugh...this seems like a terrible thing to put in a game. It's easily an instant win button and the villain just looks stupid for not using it.
I hope to GOD there's severe repercussions for using it or that it doesn't transport you through space as well because then what the fuck is the point of doing anything otherwise?Near as I remember there don't seem to be any major drawbacks. Which makes the whole thing even worse. I legit think Jan and company didn't think this part of the game through.
Quote
THESE PEOPLE FUCKING KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYONE FOR FUCK'S SAKE!
I can keep beating them down over and over again, but like a weed that's been injected with steroids, they keep spreading and I can't do dick to stop it.
And the way this story is fucking going it's looking more and more likely that Team Xen are going to turn out to be well-intentioned extremists or some such shit like that.
Which repulses me since I want them all dead and the more likeable ones imprisoned.
But that's literally just Sharon and Eli.Honestly this comes up in a lot of fangames. Desolation, Reborn, Rejuvenation, it always seems like your 10 steps behind the bad guys AT BEST. Like after a certain point how are you even remotely a threat to them?
Also you're just gonna have to accept that last part about well intentioned extremists. Seems to be a common thing for fangames too.
QuoteYeah their whole plan is incredibly stupid as it is but it gets worse due to that single fucking fact.
Vivian should mean virtually nothing to Melia for her to interfere this much.
But say we accept that Melia's some all-loving heroine with warm sunshine in her heart, there's still a massive difference between Vivian and someone like Venam to her.
That's where the lesson fails in my opinion.You know thinking on this now, this whole Vivian Decision probably should have been the players choice. Knowing about her connection to Aelita, Aelita being our best friend, etc

And I'm either Piccolo or Yamcha.
Considering there are "Dieties" going around a messing things up around the region, it might as well be.
Honestly being Piccolo isn't too bad, least he's got a house now according to the most recent movie.

Although I did see a weird one years ago where the anime girl was this delinquent's right hand? Japan is weird.
Yes.
Definitely won't toss anything into them and ask her to get it for me haha.
Oh I've seen that one, it's a. . . classic? Think of pretty much every joke you can think of and the series goes with it, outside of anything like PG-13 rated.

Less chance of being horribly murdered by some mutant Pokemon or a literal Poke'Gods at least. Assuming there's nothing like a server crash.

It's honestly cool, all things considered I'm amazed she finished two comics. Most don't even finish one.
You could always use this as practice for writing a book or whatevs.
On 10/25/2022 at 3:31 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I feel it wouldn't be as good then. Like I could do it but it'd lack something.
Yeah, it's definitely not worth paying for it when I don't make any money even doing it.
I SUPPOSE it's possible to do myself but my lack of artistic talent stops me from going further than this:
I just can't get the fucking faces right.
Also Madame X is a fucking bitch and a half to draw.
This honestly doesn't look half bad, only issue seems to be the eyes. You might have to like physically draw the eyes instead of pulling them from the character portraits.
Madame X, its probably her damn mask. Drawing all those spikes is probably the main issue.
On 10/25/2022 at 3:31 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:All I've seen of the 2-D one is the ground battle of Coruscant and I THINK an episode they were on Felucia.
It was made by the same guy as Samurai Jack, right?
But no, I meant the one with the orange alien girl.
What's up with her? Why'd they give her such luscious lips like that?
I actually remember Dark Empire. People HATED it. Didn't Palpatine have the power to throw wormholes in it?
Yep, Genndy Tartokovsky, he's got another show called Primal. Involves a caveman and T-rex fighting all kinds of creatures.
Oh yeah the 3D clone wars, yeah she's supposed to be like 14 at the start. Which makes her outfit kinda suspect.
Dark Empire is Palpatine at his most broken, he would eat the one from Rise of Skywalker for breakfast. I've seen people be kinda mixed on it myself. I know a few people that love it unironically.
On 10/25/2022 at 3:31 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:There probably would have been a better and more sensible outcome if we did.
Was not a fan of Nastasia being allowed to shoo us out of the Pyramid for her own needs.
Team Xen literally only provided transport for that entire mission.
At this point the only thing I can think is that Nastasia is some kind of Double Agent, with the grunts she brings along being her loyalists. Betting money of her dying to save Ren or something like that myself.
On 10/25/2022 at 3:31 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Aside from the edge factor, Aegislash is possible the most unwieldy fucking sword I've ever seen.
It's grip is shaped like a fucking ice-cream cone!
Yeah I got nothing for the hilt. Maybe it sticks to your hand using Ghost powers?

Please seek absolution from your nearest religious building.
If this is cursed then all i can say is Hail
GiratinaSatan!On 10/25/2022 at 3:31 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:V13 corrects it but to us, it seems like the pirates just threw them all into the sea when they captured us.
We literally could have taken over the ship WITHOUT spending two weeks in jail and sailed to Blacksteeple that way!
But character interactions, we can't go with 20-30 minutes of text in a Rejuvenation. That would be insane!
On 10/25/2022 at 3:31 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It's amazing that the days of Deoxys clones, Demon Pokemon and soul-splitting gym leaders were known as "simpler times".
Really shows how far we've come...
No wait...that should be "how low we've sank".
Yeah Shadow Pokemon don't look so bad now. Would definitely rather fight more of them than these damned rift mons.
On 10/25/2022 at 3:31 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It should be a good laugh. I'm planning on having scenes where the rest of them call occasionally to fill me in on what they're doing and contrast it with whatever absurd nonsense I'm doing.
Nope. Part 5 has ELITE trainer, Sean. He knows what he's doing at all times.
Because he's going to write dialogue as the battles happen and not months or even years afterwards.
So no more "I forgot I gave Bright Powder to you" scenes for this guy!
That honestly sounds funny, can't wait to see it. I imagine their reactions vary from confusion to outright disbelief.
No worries I'm sure you'll forget numerous times by the end of Part 4!
On 10/25/2022 at 3:31 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:No it's more like I'm going to die in two chapters.
Still working out how I'll go out though.
Dramatically or with yet another stupid meme.
It's a very tough decision.
Oh yeah, hope you remember the throw your pokemon out the way this time too.
I honestly say dramatically, you can make it up with all the memes you want afterwards.
On 10/25/2022 at 3:31 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Nononono wait! You've misunderstood!
That pairing is not on the table! I'm just planning on driving Venam insane with jealousy over nothing!
I totally believe don't worry!
On 10/25/2022 at 3:31 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It's definitely Stockholm Syndrome.
There are so many fucking boxes in this one reply section it's unreal.
Between this and my job, I probably have it in spades.
On 10/25/2022 at 3:31 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:...
Huh?
Why do I not go over and smash one over their head?
I've seen that the pirates actually sing shanties in V13 though. That's an improvement.
Now now, Sean that would be too proactive for the MC, you know how this game goes.
The singing is cool, I agree.
On 10/25/2022 at 3:31 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Oh fuck no. If Double Battles are the only alternative, I'll gladly do this myself.
I don't mind them so much when it's JUST me battling but when it's Venam and her Earthquake spamming Seviper...
It's morbidly impressive that she's managed that twice, plus that battle in GDC.
On 10/25/2022 at 3:31 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:...
I'm an anime gamer girl, Dex.
Nihonjindesu.
Much kawaii, such ugu.
On 10/25/2022 at 3:31 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Well if last episode is any indicator you should probably do the opposite of what I do in battles too.
You have your moments on occasion. Least it was "only" Zira.
On 10/25/2022 at 3:31 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Good. That was the intention.
It's always worse when they die to absolute nobodies.
It's a little bit better than Bluster because it was an Aggron and I needed to get past this trainer.
Bluster died to a mouse in a completely optional battle.
Sticking the knife in deep, I see
Yeah I imagine Blusters death was kick to the balls, things were going so well in that chapter too. . .
On 10/25/2022 at 3:31 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:She didn't have as many stand-out moments as some of the others but she was solid. A bit like Caesar in that regard.
Yep. Melia is officially off the menu.
Yup, when Caesar wasn't around, she filled in to give you crap. It was great.
In her honor, you must clearly bite Melia at some point in this arc.
. . . But not in that kind of way.
On 10/25/2022 at 3:31 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Just keep moving forward until all my enemies are dead, eh? I can dig it.
If I used Overheat and it didn't have Sturdy Zira would have been fine. I just overestimated Magma Drift, I think.
But yeah. I totally forgot the secondary typing. I do the same for Steelix sometimes.
Seems about how you've been dealing with things so far, honestly. Hopefully your friends don't turn you and kill you at the end.
I'd honestly bet money that thing hard Sturdy. You know how these Reborn games are.
Chapter Comments:
SpoilerQuote
No.
Not yet.Better than not being able to swim while living on boat. Though considering the state of the world that's not gonna make a difference if this bad boy sinks.
QuoteGod do I wish I did an overly serious angsty comic run now though.
Could wallow for aaaaages if I did.
But then we'd probably be at Terajuma right now at best, and nobody wants that. Honestly a comic run of this game would probably take like 20 years.
Quote
Clearly her suit it too powerful, no wonder you didn't stand a chance a BlackSteeple Prison!
QuoteYou've GOT to get over this obsession you have with me, Madame X!
It'll never work out.
You're both a massive cunt and killer of several Pokemon plus one maybe-mother of mine.
Caesar with the common sense, which means it will never happen. God imagine if the game gave us the chance to just end her after Melia zapped her at Blacksteeple, though it'd probably due to plot reasons but hey it would be worth a shot.
Quote
That's the million pokedollar question, isn't it?
WHO is Madame X?
Zero from Code Geass? Melia from the future? Crescent from the future? Erin from an alternate timeline where she never made any friends? Girl-Sean from that joke I made nearly fifty chapters ago?
It's Seaniqua(?) back to kill you for giving her that terrible name. She's gonna strangle you with her hilariously long braids.
Quote"Accept your fate"?
Goddammit, are you still fucking thinking about letting people kill you to atone for your sins!?
At LEAST atone for the ones you committed against me! Not some bullshit ones you made by accident!
You STILL owe me a Buizel, you know!Okay less Savior complex and more Martyr complex on Melia's part. I can't say which is more annoying, I get how she got there at this point but still.
Maybe she'll get you a shiny Buizel!
Quote
Oooh don't know if that was a edit or in game dialogue but it works really well for her. Surprised you didn't try to stranger her then and there. She's like this for most of the arc, which makes what happens at the castle later all the more hilarious.
QuoteActually Valarie, and I can't believe I've finally got an opportunity to say this naturally in a conversation, it's not that we're too fast, it's that...
You're too slow.
...
Why did I go to the effort for that abomination of a photo?Seanic the Hedgehog, still wouldn't be worse than Sonic 06. Also this photo is now on the internet forever for your children and grandchildren to find and judge you for.
Valerie's team was pretty cool, like the them it has going on. Zaius getting salty at getting Sucker Punched (TM) was great.
I'm shocked you let Rose learn Giga Impact since it has such a huge drawback, guess you're gonna save it for a finishing move at the end of a battle?
Quote
...
Madame X how dare you?! Sean is an upstanding member of society and would never do such a thing! Or at least get caught while doing so!
Quote
ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I'LL LEAVE!
JESUS!
And I thought I was irritable when thrown in jail...Wow such a sore loser, clearly kids today have no sense of sportsmanship. That or her lifework is down the drain. Either or.
Also congrats on having the worlds shortest 'Locke in that RimLocke! That Steelix really did a number on your guys. They tried at least?

Well...yeah but I'm sure the energy I'll give off will evaporate the tears.
Here's hoping that whole prophecy her and Ren doesn't come true.
Like Gohan, yeah that tracks.
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I don't know many of them unfortunately.
...
Or fortunately?
I dunno. I'll just make sure to keep a close eye out for any tight crevices she could get stuck in halfway through.
Probably fortunate, anime's got a bit of reputation in that front.
I'm sure you'll make sure she won't get stuck like the gentleman you are.
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Hahahaha. Well I should HOPE you're turned off of kids.
Man, talk about bad phrasing.
But yeah, fuc- scre- FORGET other people's kids. Damn brats.
This is why proofreading is your friend.

It's fine.
And like...actually fine. Not mad girlfriend "fine".
Starting to think it's radiation from that meteor, at least you'd make a killing as therapist in Reborn.
Oh good i'd hate to ruin our parasocial relationship.
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:DAWN THE AMBIPOM! TIME FOR OUR DAILY 8 HOUR WALKIES!
I guess they could use them. They're always going to be compared to the old ones though.
Honestly she's probably just happy to be out of the box.
They probably are, but hey I'm willing to give it a shot. No way Disney was just gonna stop after Endgame, WAY too much money.
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It's a nightmare. The entire bedroom is filled with stupid fucking pillows they don't even USE for anything!
Ah yeah. I remember reading that run back in the day when I first discovered Nuzlockes. Don't really remember much from it though.
Decorative Pillows are great! To show how much money you have and all that.
I don't remember a whole lot either, but I do gotta give her credit for finishing two comic runs when most dont even finish one. I think she's getting a PHD in medicine now, so kudos there.
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Oh yeaaaahhh...and then I flew into a portal that was the actual friendzone, right?
Could have sworn I beat Wallace at one point though...
Oh ha ha. Not my fault I got way more invested in Rejuvenation.
...
Well okay, it is. But I don't care.
Eyup, it was that kind of run. Here's hoping this doesn't happen in this run!
Invested or obssesed. Can't let Jan beat you after all!
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Hahaha great minds think alike. I was also thinking of this exact fight. But to actually do so would be a monumental amount of work.
Plus as we've seen, I can't draw for shit.
I'd change Android 17 to Sakitron though.
'Cause robots.
You could just paste the PC, Aelita, and Madame X's faces onto the DB characters and go from there. Probably still a lot of work, but its a start. That or you could commission someone for art but that's probably a LOT of money.
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Oh same. I feel that's a very common opinion. Phantom Menace is mostly saved by Duel of Fates being a banger.
Did you ever see the Clone Wars show? I heard that was good.
He shouldn't have been brought back, man. Being thrown down a giant pipe was a better fate than what he had there.
Which one there's actually two shows one in 2d and 3d. I love both. The 2D one is a short fun ride, but the 3d one is great too, but much longer and being honest not every episode is a banger. Especially in the first season.
Sad part this is the only the 2nd time he's been revived, there was a comic series in the early 90s called Dark Empire too.
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:We've come to an agreement to just beat the hell out of any Grunts that even breathe in our general vicinity.
Like instead of teaming up with Aelita to fight those two Grunts in the Xen rocketship in a Pokemon battle, we just beat them with folding chairs until they pass out.
This alliance is on very thin ice and I am holding a hammer just WAITING to break it.
As you should, no reason Team Sean couldn't have done the whole pyramid. You do most of the work anyways, nothing new there.
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Which is weird, because in irl Japan it's the exact opposite.
I know...I'm not a fan of it. Seems like a lot of fuckers will be getting a free pass if all the evil is attributed to him.
I don't want another Reborn post-game scenario here.
All the post game stuff seems like Ame realizing she resolved precisely none of the character related stuff in the main game. It's honestly amazing in a not great way.
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Please no.
That would be immensely cringe.
Which makes it a before choice Rejuvenation!
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Bitch, you only started liking Venam in that way when she turned her hair brown like mine!
Melia:. . . Circumstantial evidence. . .
Meanwhile statue Venam begins thinking about getting glasses.
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeah, I got laaaaazy.
It's a real problem when I come up with additional jokes right as the chapter is about to be posted.
I'm honestly the same with comments, but hey I try to hit the major stuff at least.
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:No half-assed job this time! It ended up happening because this chapter was going to be short for obvious reasons and I didn't want to combine the two out of respect.
I'm glad you enjoyed it though.
Yeah just skipping to breakout would have been very boring in comparison!
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I could have. It would have been easy if not for the hostages that literally stopped existing the second we got on the boat.
Like WHERE are they? They aren't anywhere on the ship!
That's. . . a good point! Yeah where the hell is everyone?! There's not even a good excuse for not steamrolling these discount Team Aqua punks. Guess we had to get to the castle somehow. . .
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Dailymotion will never die. It persists in the shadows of it's greaters...not getting stronger or thriving though...just existing.
That one was fun. I had to use the pink haired player character as a stand in for Nancy because there was no art for her back then.
It sustains itself on all the random ass videos uploaded there.
Part 1 seems like a simpler time, back when it was just Team Xen to worry about.
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:We'll get like...three days off between Part 3 and 4 to avoid any time paradoxes about the stuff I did before going to the past. But yeah. That's about it until Part 5.
And even then, Part 5's filler is a training adventure. Gotta get all the Crests and some new powerful Pokemon! Can't spend all my time just sitting by the beach!
...
Well actually I could and there'd be just as much improvement as if I actually did go along with Alexandra's training.
No rest for the wicked it seems, least you can't say you'll be bored!
Hopefully you don't lose a bunch of mons in that batch of filler too.
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:That makes me hate it MORE.
Yeah but I could have gotten to beat Gardevoir's ass with Zolt like I promised the first time we met!
Now I'll NEVER get to do that!
Everyone can act in cutscenes but you Sean, you know the deal.
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I mean...
It still is.
Oh god it was for this chapter. . .
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:FUCK THAT WORKS.
The only other ones are Selia or Melian and neither are very good.
It practically writes itself!
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:UST A FRACTION, HONEST!
Nah, I'm going to flip the table and act super close to Melia when Venam wakes up so she'll seethe with jealousy.
Like she gets told that we spent two weeks in a dark future together and her mind will go: "they spent two weeks together"? "Two weeks with Melia..." "WHAT DID THEY DO DURING THOSE TWO WEEKS!?"
And then I'll catch her eye as I'm sitting next to Melia and wink.
Ah the now we see the true endgame, Venam/Melia/Sean.
I'm onto you know Sean!
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I almost left that part out due to how long it was. but if you enjoyed it I'm glad I decided to take another day and finish it.
Yeah it was honestly fun, no reason not for that conversation to happen really.
On 10/6/2022 at 9:09 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Up to you.
I just prefer replying on that site because you can actually see what they've put into spoilers when you're replying.
On this site I have to delete the qouted spoilers and then make my own ones just so I can see what I'm replying too.
Yeah its hassle but I'm kinda used to it. . . that's not Stockholm syndrome right?
Chapter Comments:SpoilerQuoteI miss the last chapter.
No cheeky Pokemon were around to point out my mistakes and flaws.
You know you love being verbally abused by your mons! It practically fuels you.
Ah the colorful trees, a necessary part of any post apocalyptic pirate ship. Maybe they're just decorative and the actual fruit trees are somewhere else? I dunno I just play the game man.
QuotePirate Val doesn't somehow know I'm immortal, right?
Because this laser array seems way to good at countering me specifically.God wouldn't that be a wild twist with the baddies aware of what you are.
But nah it's just away to make you avoid obstacles I guess. There's a point the this arc in V13 where someone throws glass mugs at you and that damages your mons. . . somehow.
And of course you have to handle the lazer shut off by yourself, could at least have one of the trainers team up with you. Though Double Battles seem to be a gamble in this game.
QuoteYou see this isn't actually my real face.
I'm actually a Virtual Nuzlocker and am reverse-catfishing you all.
There's totally a cute gamer girl anime fan behind this fake and painstakingly rendered face.
So you should totally give me money and your journey towards a parasocial relationship with me will be complete!
I knew it, I bet you're not even Irish!
You're probably French or worse English!
Also Disclamer for the run: Outside of Pokemon battles, do the OPPOSITE of what Sean tells you to do. I will save on legal fees and jailtime.
Different timelines but the Grunts are as dumb as ever at least that's a constant.
Quote
Oh god it was all going so well. I don't think I've ever seen that move even used. And the 3d section made it cut even deeper!
Like damn this is not a good place to die, and not even to an admin. Just some random grunt.
It's Bluster all over again.
Quote
Another of the old guard gone, she was one the reliable ones. Meanwhile, Melia feels a sense of relief for a reason she doesn't understand.
Between you and Madame X, Valarie is gonna be out of "children" real quick.
Only thing left to do is push on. Also don't beat yourself up too badly, you were probably thinking of Mega Aggron there. Also who knows it could have had Sturdy and you could have lost Star.

Might be more doable. But I am DETERMINED to finish this Part by the end of the year and we still have 11 chapters to go with only 14 weeks until then.

Well maybe not Day ONE. Early game Dragon Rage was pretty OP.
Nooooooooooo...I don't want tooooooo...
I also didn't know there were any Avengers even left.
Pray to the Pick Up Ability gods is all I can say.
The roster of Avengers in comics is way bigger than the movie one. Thor is around still, plus Spider-man, Dr Strange and a bunch of the characters from the TV shows. They're going with them I think.

I have all you lovely readers still. I'll be fine.
Must be so difficult court all those women, truly.
No non-unique ones at least, Biggest example is Ky-nim's Platinum comic with the MC dating one of the gym leaders (her comic Run of Pokemon Black ends up using their child as the MC there) and another one dating Steven.
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I regret it already.
Cool. I'm doing the same and taking my word for it too. Because I also have completely forgot what was going on in that Nuzlocke.
Totally going to address them by name before I've met them to freak them out.
My amazing improved battling skills and knowledge will leave you breathless, Dex!
...
Either that or because we'll all need oxygen tanks by the time it comes out.
Far as I remember you got friendzoned by May and encountered Deoxys where you left off.
I reckon Rejuvenation the actual game will be finished by then at least!
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:The second one is a lot more appealing. Carbonite just freezes them and you can't do much else other than hang them like furniture. Forced servitude in maid outfits is the way to go!
You and Vitus seem to have the same idea, since he seems to have stuck Anju in a maid outfit based on her portrait.
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:All while shouting trite phrases like "PREPARE YOURSELF" or "TASTE MY BLADE"?
I can see that working.
Well the Madame X fight is definitely going to be a bit more than "shaky view of the setting sun" like it was in the game but I'm not sure how exactly I'll do it.
Hell you could even do a combo with your own mons, especially Rose.
I always figured that fight would look something like this. The MC and Aelita are Goku and Frieza, and I guess Melia would be Android 17.
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yes but they're the BAD people while we're the GOOD ones.
Mine is nearly anything Palpatine says.
Gotta be real the only one of the prequels I really like is Revenge of the Sith. I'm neutral on Phantom Menace and I think Attack of the clones is kinda bad.
Palpatine is a trip, but even he couldn't save that last movie in the sequels.
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I think he's from New York but that's a former English Colony so he's probably got some of that in him
Oh no need to be concerned. I was just going to play "If Pokemon were real, what would your team be based on a 20 mile radius from your home" kind of thing. I'm just waiting for Scarlet and Violet to come out because Fidough is perfect Pokemon for the upbringing I had.
A Yankee, that's even worse!
Oh well, for me it's squirrels, alligators, various birds, and deer. So at least I'd get Feraligatr, my favorite water starter, so I'm okay with that.
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:don't do a good job of it this ENTIRE arc. Thank GOD she fucks off for most of Part 4.
Critics have called it "Nobody could have seen it coming" and "Nobody wanted this either".
But then you end up being stuck with Ren for the most part. Least you get to see Melia be humiliated on live TV during the tournament!
Aelita then gives you the evil eye thinking you were using her to get to the Eldest!
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:That's...just Power Rangers isn't it? Damn, Japan. Be a little more diverse with your plots!
Narrator: They in fact sent away the man who feasibly COULD take them for no real reason.
Nymiera's bloodline seems DETERMINED to fail at everything they do.
To be kinda fair, the only one of them who's actual seen you battle was Vivian, but she's too busy being dead.
Hey now Damien and Alexandra haven't COMPLETELY dropped the ball.
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:And she doesn't even mean to do it which is worse.
I'd say it's more Caesar's job than Rose's. Rose keeps me centered but she's too agreeable with whatever I decide to do.
Like if I decided to murder Kakori in person instead of with a fire, she'd probably be fine with doing it. Caesar wouldn't.
...
Unless it was a Xen Base. Then he'd be first in line.
Love her, but yeah that's pretty true about Rose.
Can't wait to see how Caesar reacts to having work with Team Xen in Part 4. Sure he'll be thrilled!
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:We're more than fine with just the first group. This game is VERY anime after all. And what's more powerful in anime than a motley group of teenagers?
Who is Indriad NOT the father of at this point?
Teenagers are truly the most powerful beings in anime.
It literally seems to be it's all Indriads fault at this point.
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Timpea and Spacea have Savior Complex beaten in the bitch department.
THEY'RE THE ONES WHO TAUNTED HER INTO DOING THIS SHIT!
Okay yeah, shit they could have stopped this at any point! Feel like they're gonna reveal a reason for not intervening and its going to be uniquely unsatisfying.
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:She is also completely useless like everyone else during cutscenes so that's nice to see.
Also she falls down a trap door which will definitely make me make a Mr. Burns joke.
I honestly stil can't believe she fell for the oldest trick in the book. Maybe she really is a version of Melia, because that seems about her speed.
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:That'd be excessive force though, Dex.
Can't have that. They're only children...
Yeah because pile driving them is a-okay. I see how it is. . .
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:She is the only one who'll make me hesitate on killing all of them with the detonator at the end.
Kenneth and Amber made their bed by betraying us to Melanie.
Yeah that whole bit with the fake diamond is the dumbest thing. Glad Mosely knee caped that whole plot but swiping the real thing.
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:More like I'm going to have to wrap her in fucking bubble wrap the amount of times she's gotten her ass kicked.
At this point CQC would be pissing in the wind because she won't be any good at it.
SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A SINGLE FIGHTING TYPE!
Her Aegislash learns Sacred Sword, that counts right? If nothing else, she can pull a Titania she can use it as a weapon.
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeah. Only notable ones are against Valarie and Kenneth.
I think you get to fight Melanie in V13 but from what I've seen you're also supposed to lose a fight to Melia or something?
And fuuuuuuck that.
I think you can still win that fight, but don't quote me there.
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-Excuse me what the fuck do you mean "You'll have to do!", Melia!?
AS IF YOU DIDN'T JUST HIT THE JACKPOT!
Melia: Whatever you say Sean. Dye you hair purple and then we'll talk!
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:One was MEANT to be Amber but I kind of phoned it in by not colouring their hair.
Only the graps got colour for some reason.
I'm guessing its the girl on the left. I only realized it when someone said something on the Nuzlocke Forum. I think it was Pika.
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I'm not even sure this future is real. Could all be a simulation.
Because HOW likely is it that Mosely's parents had her 40 something years after the region imploded? They probably weren't even born at the time!
At this point the only thing I can say is roll with it. It'll decrease any migraines you get from this game by half at least!
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Pfft. I can just imagine that.
"The weak should fear the strong".
It would have certainly been preferable to the way I put her to sleep THIS chapter though...
I'll say this, I was taken completely off guard by how you did here. Well done?
Chapter comments:
SpoilerFirst off I gotta say I was half expecting you to just skip to the hatching, but this works a million times better. Might be one of the best chapters on this part of the part so far.
You probably could have taken on the whole crew right then and there. The only real threat among them is the Captain, and that;s not saying much. But hey plot and all.
Yeah the introduction of bad future Valerie has no kind of impact, because again, we haven't talked with the real one is ages. Kind of makes sense to use her as pirate at least. Water Trainer and all that. Least her team here is kinda cool.
Quote
I actually made a video about it back then.
Couldn't put it on Youtube because it was using Queen song and footage from that terrible Sherlock show.
Here, if those of at home had forgotten about it like I did until I started typing under this image.
Or never saw it in the first place.Oh god I forgot about that one, I'm still shocked Dailymotion is up and running. The one with Madame X as Vader is my favorite honestly.
It really is sad that that whole two weeks is the most amount of relaxation you'll get for god knows how long. It'll be back to back disasters after this.
Honestly with the egg being the key to escape, only thing I can think of is that the Mimikyu is like absurdly busted like its the child of Ash's Pikachu or some such nonsense. It manages to scare off that gardevoir later so it kinda works maybe?
Quote
Wow good thing you're immortal or that would be a death flag right there.
The Lullaby bit caught me off guard completely, guess you are warming up to her a tiny fraction. I imagine Melia will tell Venam and she'll either laugh or be jealous. Not sure which would be funnier.
Quote
I suddenly want to stop.See you're almost encouraging Melia x Sean at this point. Smellia can even be the ship name!
I like the part where your telling them about their alternate selves. Ambers about the same, Mosely still gets a raw deal parent wisse, and Kenneth is doing shockingly well here. Borders on hilarious really.
Gotta say it is kinda weird having a chapter with so little imput from your mons. Caesar would have had a field day.
And now with your team back, you can do the now even easier job of taking of the ship thanks to your sneaking and Madame X's rampage. Hope Nova is doing a good job of covering Mosely's eyes!
On 9/23/2022 at 5:36 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It might have been easier to reply on the actual Nuzlocke Forum but if you go there I'll lose what dwindling amount of replies I have here so...it's up to you. Whichever you'd find easier.
Hell at this point, I might end up just staying here. I said to myself I would make a profile on that forum eventually but never got around to it.

On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:
Anyway here's your monthly chapter for now.
Probably going to get back to the old weekly schedule in like September or something depending on how my schedule looks.
I'd go with bi-weekly if you could manage it. Gives you a bit of cushion for time, but its not a super long wait between chapters.
SpoilerOn 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yes...yes....fall deeper into the parasocial web I'm building around you...soon you'll be wanting to buy my bathwater for ludicrous prices!
And the best part is...I NEVER TAKE BATHS! MWAHAHAHA!
You monster! Also ew for a large number of reasons, scared to ask where it's coming from.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Problem is that they're also pretty SMART on top of rich. I'm clever at best so I don't think it'd be as easy for me.
I try not to remember that awful fight. Super glad I didn't use any stat decrease moves to get through it at least.
That's because I usually only mention the top three, the others don't come up as much.
It will never happen so I won't even consider what I'd do.
Just get Saki's money and that little problem will work itself out.
Top Three, more like the Only Three.
I'd assume if Rose died the whole party would just keel over like she was the MC of a Persona game.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Sounds like that's asking for HR to get involved. Fun ruining bastards.
Maybe if I combine the two and stick them IN bags of meth?
That's HR in a nutshell, that and pretending to be on your side when they could really care less.
Man if you though kids on a sugar rush were bad, imagine Mosely high as a kite.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It's been six years of this. What do you think?
Not possible.
Aelita wouldn't.
Shut up.
I hate you.
Aelita: You're like the big brother I never had Sean.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Well yeah but like 5 million over 40 years is 125,000 euro a year. Surely your bills couldn't be high enough to burn through THAT.
It's fine. I've got a method that'll work.
I won't be sharing it though. Get your own wife murdering scheme!
Oh over 40 years, nevermind I'm living large then.
No worries, I'm not even at the get a wife stage yet.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeah. I made sure to teach it to Mako too.
I even make use of it out of battle when Solaris tries to cut off my head in Blacksteam.
Priority +6, motherfuckeeeer! YOUR OVERLEVELED SHARK IS POWERLESS AGAINST ME!
Definitely. I've improved too much so I can't churn them out like it was 2015 because my standards have gotten too high.
These last two months of slow updates was mostly due to work, lethargy and it being fucking hot most of the time.
Hopefully it'll get better soon.
Still dumb of the MC to have his back to the enemy team leader at all. Imagine a world where Solaris had actually suceeded, Reborn would be doomed.
Yeah, reading your early Reborn stuff and the current Rejuvenation run, it's like night and day difference. Still same level of humor though. For better or worse.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Psshhhhh...fucking amateurs if that's the case. I haven't played Rejuvenation in over two years and I'll still be in top-form when 13.5 finally drops! Yeah. I reject their offer to go to things that would ACTUALLY make me stronger like getting new Pokemon, Crests or Mega Stones. Not playing around with mono-type battles.
It's better there than here for that at least.
Uggghhh...just what we need. Infinite What If stories.
It's the fighting at a disadvantage "training" that gets me. Like that isn't half the battles in this game with the field effects heavily weighted towards the otherside.
Shoot two of the last three marvel movies have involved the multiverse in a major way. The next set of Avengers movie is gonna feature it heavily apparently. So you'd best believe in the Multiverse, because you're in one!
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Well the same was true for the older Pokemon games and look how much smut those have now. Do the official portraits appear in later version then? I assume so since most weren't drawn back here in Version 10.
I honestly attribute that to them being more played. I imagine on a relatively tiny fraction of people who've played to official games have touched anytype of fangame, let along something like Rejuvenation.
Also yeah the portraits only appear in V13.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:What a weird and unnecessary addition to her character.
Basically everything Rowling has written post Deathly Hallows. She really should have just called it a day after the last HP came out.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I contemplated growing one once. Only to find out it's ginger and not my actual hair colour.
So I guess I'll just have to wait until I'm old enough to go grey.
Of course. Why settle for less or have to actually choose? I think it'll work out fine. Most of the top-tier girls don't seem like the jealous type and if they are...Well this is Pokemon. I just have to find our what type Jealousy is weak to!
That...isn't a bad idea, actually. Maybe if I ever track down Potion Lady who saved my run...
Yeah she does. But it's WEIRD to be appreciated for it.
You do that and you'll just end up looking like Irish Santa Claus. Instead of coal you'll probably just throw rocks at naughty children.
I'd assume Jealousy is weak to Selflessness. . . maybe I dunno?
Wouldn't be the first time a Nuzlocke run romanced a NPC, I've seen a few comic runs do it.
Just take the appreciation, man. Be awhile before you get more of it.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Very true. I make it a point to check fields more often after all the suffering they've put me through.
It's a wild ride to be sure.
Sums up Reborn/Rejuvenation in general doesn't it?
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:As I deserved.
I'm thinking it'll just be a complete rewind but slightly off due to the V19 changes.
Like the evil Celebi or whatever the fuck was going on in the Alphabetlocke sends me back to the train about to pull into the city. But I won't be passive about my foreknowledge. (which lasts up until Amentrine Mountain)
I think it could be fun to go back and give my Pokemon a bit more life to them.
This is the path you chose.
To be honest I completely forgot what exactly was going on in the Alphabetlocke so I'm gonna take your word for it about the Celebi. Messing with Team Meteor with future knowledge should be funny at least.
I'm genuinely interested in seeing Reborn with your improved Nuzlocking(?) in 2030 or so.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:No no. The HAREM are my respected wives. The goddesses are just spoils of war trophies.
Sucker's bet there. There's a small chance it'd be white...but as I said. A SMALL chance.
Freeze them in carbonite and use them as decoration like in Star Wars, or even worse make them clean up your mansion/home/evil lair as eternal punishment.
I'd only bet on white because of you know Arceus, but its long odds there.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yyyyyep. Although I don't know how likely it is Timpea will turn into a Swanna to sleep with someone.
Which could only improve it! I love Chrono Trigger.
Instead of pokemon battles, you and Melia/Ren/Aelita/etc punch, shoot, and slash with combo moves. Be pretty cool to see. Maybe you could edit that in for the Madame X fight at the pyramid?
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I hide there for a brief period in Part 5 due to so much being changed around the entire world.
All the more reason for me to build and then take the throne from those corrupt fools.
I'm going to install psychic screening for all government employees so corruption will be a thing of the past.
"Change is scary!" - Sean
Instead of Team Xen's iron fist, Aevium gets your Iron Fist, eh? Well at least you're not trying to destroy everything.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I always liked the prequel trilogy but somehow every single line of dialogue becoming a meme has only made it better.
You're not alone in that, but there's plenty of people who swing the other way on that opinion. I feel like it's about 50/50 nowadays on the prequels. Yeah the memes are eternal, it's great stuff. I'm particulary fond of "I have the high ground" myself.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:You tell me the last time you saw an anime girl with body hair and I'll accept defeat on the matter.
It's for the best. Too much time on his own depresses him.
. . . Well I wont answer that to avoid implicating myself. . .
I forget that Caesar is essentially a Vietnam vet wrapped in a ball of vines sometimes.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:She was ALREADY rich though! And it doesn't seem like something her younger self would consider being the easy mark that she was.
I think there is in later versions? Like we learn more about Valarie in Aquamarine Cave and whatnot.
Sadly, I missed all that so to me she's just "That woman from Blacksteeple who gave me a decent battle"
Oh yeah forget she was the one with money. Maybe Thomas was really that good in the sack?
Yeah the trouble with constantly updating fangames. Before V11 Val barely has any presence in the story after the gym battle.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It's definitely not though.
As you'll see in Chapter 147, Jan hates the Irish.
Although Poke-Ireland gives me an idea for a game we can all play...but I'll save it for a later chapter.
I didn't know Jan was English! My gosh this explains everything!
Can't wait to see what you got planned there, a little concerned but that's just reading this run in general.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeah I can see that. Especially with Melia.
And ESPECIALLY in this arc.
"IT DOESN'T COUNT IF YOU WERE DEAD AT THE TIME SOUTAAA!"
And then he throws me into the clouds using his magic
Though you're not doing an especially good job of it in this chapter.
The Sean/Eldest/Souta love triangle, truly the romantic subplot of the century.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I never digested any Sailor Moon media besides the English opening and Dub compilations on Youtube so I don't know what the story is.
Well it's not entirely my fault, is it?
I DO warn Angie but we know what these Aevians are like when it comes to heeding my warnings.
Its not TOO complicated. Ancient kingdom on the moon destroyed, royal family and their guards reincarnated as teenagers and they fight a stupid variety of demons, androids, and what is essentially Galactus in a shiny sailor uniform. I liked it as kid at least.
"Bah we can take 'em!" -Angie 19XX.
Narrator: They could not in fact "take 'em".
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:As depicted in the new titlecard "Nice fucking job, Melia"
That'd be a twist of the century. Human Sean is the moral compass to Sprite Sean's sociopathy.
Maybe it's because he doesn't get all the Rose interaction I do?
Melia ruins everything, yep that about sums it up.
Would make sense considering Rose tends to keep you from going TOO far off the deep end at times. A Sean without Rose is probably about as bad as you joke to be.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeah, stink bombs are a little much, even between friends.
Glad you liked it! It took a lot of work.
Honestly sounds like a good way to give someone some kind of respiratory failure. Maybe they're just built tougher in the past.
I can imagine! Though Carnage nearly being erased doesn't look so bad compared to what actually happened to the future.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Gloves were provided.
But Cella weirdly made it sound like the gloves were part of the attempt to convince us.
Like if we immediately said yes and asked no further questions, she wouldn't have given them to u
Maybe that's how they do it here in the past, which in that case means maybe you shouldn't let Cella touch you at any point.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Ah but I know a martial artists greatest weakness!
Being a lot bigger and heavier than them!
They'd be powerless against my "bear hug and then fall on them" technique! Or the classic "Wrap around and lie down on the floor" manuveur!
Ah an improvised Heavy slam, classic tactic.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Christ is the number even higher than that though?
We've got Team Xen, Team Anti-Assist, Bladestar, The Androids assholes Clear and Kieran, V, the woman after Ana, whoever is behind Amaria-Black, Indriad, Timpea&Spacea, Timpeas&Spacea's boss, The specific cause behind Storm 9, the PuppetMaster, the Inkay that think they're aliens, Karen and probably even more.
I genuinely don't think we'd notice if someone new was manipulating Kanon.
And all you've got is your motly group of teenagers, Damien and April, plus the Storm Chasers for whaterver they're worth. Good thing non of these baddies are really working together, or you might be in real trouble.
Though for Indriad, I'm betting money of him being the "father" that Madame X talks about if you beat her. So that one connection at least.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Enter Terastyling. The new stupid gimmick that'll be gone next gen!
You know Tauros of all Pokemon is getting 3 regional forms this gen? Now I love me some Tauros but that seems both excessive AND lazy.
Make NEW cow Pokemon already!
I'm just curious how it'll look in the anime. Probably be hell to draw and animate on a regular basis.
I think those leaks about Tauros are fake but who knows really.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:They usually stab you through the back when doing it.
But of course, being a woooooooman, Vivian can't even get that right.
Maybe Vivian thought she was being kinder in a warped sort of way.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yep. Never knew about Sandstorm doing that until now.
Guess that means Arenite Wall is a lot more useful than I though.
Sandstorm is a really good weather effect, there's a reason there's whole teams built around it.
I'd say use it if you have a good mon for it. Claydol would have been great one for it. . .
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:He MIGHT have, honestly. All this was played in 2018 and I don't have any pictures of their movesets for this part of the game so I just went with the joke of him not knowing it. Because I can't figure out why 2018 Sean would have used fucking Electro Ball there.
Be shocked if that wasn't what happened. 2018 Sean seems like reasonably intelligent fellow.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I certainly wouldn't be as upbeat as I am this chapter.
Or any of the chapters afterward. Probably would have just stolen Kenneth's boat and murdered my way to Blacksteeple in a haze of red.
Yeah that would have that would have been a 180 mood wise. Probably wouldn't have been nearly as nice to Melia as you were, relatively speaking.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I plan on it. We needed more move specific gags in this show and that's a pretty good one.
Need to find more moves that'd work for them too.
I think Abomination learns something called Solar Flare so I could probably turn that into a DBZ joke easily enough.
How about Rose getting irationally angry at everything when she uses Outrage, though you've probably used that one already?
Solar Flare is a good one, if you have anything that learns moonblast that could be a easy Kamehameha/Spirit Bomb joke.
On 8/22/2022 at 6:32 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I blame Indriad myself. It's HIS fault it's all happening, right?
...
Right?
I'd say at least a quarter to third of the main plot is his BS, the rest well you're best guess is as good a mine.
Comments for Chapter 142:
SpoilerThe title card sums up how I feel about this whole debacle. Savior complex is a bitch isn't it Melia?
Oh and it just gets better with everyone's favorite sword wielding, leather clad tyrant. Denied vengeance, Sean must team up with his most hated foe.
. . . Okay team up is a strong word, you barely interact with her for most of this arc to be honest. Sure you're not complaining though.
Least you get to maul a pack of kindergarteners to make you feel better. Hell you could have thrown out anyone of your mons and got them to back off too. This is funnier tho.
Alt timeline Mosley is like the only thing that keeps this section of the game from being completely grim and serious. I'm extremely thankful to the little gremlin for that.
Kenneth roundhouse kicking Melia made me laugh I gotta admit. She actually gets beat up more in other parts of V13 if you can believe it. Gonna have to teach that girl some CQC.
There's few Pokemon battles here so punching it out works for me!
QuoteONLY when the world collapses, does Keta get a fair hand dealt to him.
Christ, Jan. What did he DO to you?God what didn't he do the man. Honestly death was probably a relief for the man at a certain point.
The whole environment looks grim, kinda like the design. I imagine when they say 5 islands, I'd like to think thats just whats left of the Aevium Region. I imagine the rest of the world is about the same.
Only 91 species of mons left, man Gamefreak cut the Pokedex pretty fine this region. Man imagine if you had to do this entire arc with just the six Pokemon you had on hand to fight Vivian. Be a hell of a hard mode challenge at least.
QuoteSeanXMelia can stay in Bizarro Aevium where it fucking belongs.
Melia: Well Venam's a statue and I don't know any of these other people. Guess you'll have to do Sean!~
Quote
Truly a work of art, this belongs in every art museum in the world. I've noticed that the girls all look like pre-coma Aelita.
The future is dire, but somehow internet memes transcend space and time. Maybe Mosely's a time traveler too?
I'm surprised you didn't suggest putting Melia in a sleeper hold at the end there. Unconciousness counts as sleep right? Surely the next day won't be as bad as the first, right. . . right?
Okay finally got this done, haven't had time to actually sit down and type this before now.

Sadly, this is the Reborn website.
You only get black or grey here.
Gritty and Edgy just like the region itself.

Aww that's nice, you do care!
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Well yeah but most superpowers aren't very useful unless you have a durability or speed increase that'd let you render bullets or maniac women with swords useless.
That thing was a fucking pain in the ass and Aelita is lucky that she wasn't in control or I might have removed her from the best girl list.
You could be like Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne with the superpower of lots of money, to make yourself a suit immune to that nonsense.
God those Golems had Contrary and I think Rift Aelita has an ability where every time she takes damage, her attack goes up. V13 with those damn shields makes it worse.
Your best girl list is pretty thin, I think nothing short of killing Rose would get you to remove her from it.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:They slipped up by not having "Has to wear a Bowser costume every day" in his contract.
Sounds like dogshit to me. Like the two names don't really go together at all.
If I was a mad wacky adventure having scientist I'd call myself Sean Science and teach kids how to make meth.
Should make an intern wear Princess Peach dress and make him chase them around to really get that immersion.
More fun than sticking the kids in the bag at least.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It's a quirk all main characters have. Melia and I are the main characters of the game so naturally we get super speshul nicknaming priviledges.
And I know it sounds nuts that I just admitted she's a main character but at this point denying it would be stupid.
I will try seduction as well. She can't be mad about my tyranny if I seduced her, right?
Wow, events must have really beat you down to make you admit that.
She says she loves you like a brother and the sheer emotional damage makes you crumble, thus ending your reign before it even begins.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:A y-year!? How many bills do you have!?
If I won 2-5 million that'd be it.
I wouldn't have to work another day for the MAN for rest of my life! Just buy a nice house, buy a nice wife, have 3-4 kids, murder the wife so I won't lose anything to divorce and live happily ever after!
Gas, electricity, Water, stuff on the house, stuff on the car. All kinds of fun stuff.
Gotta make sure the nothing can connect you to the murder, hard to have happily ever after in a the slammer.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I was VERY happy when I found out that Reborn V19 has the Protect TM relatively early on. I made GOOD use of that, I can tell you now.
But I don't get nice things when I NEED them! I AM LEVEL 75 AND STORES STILL DON'T HAVE EVEN MAX POTIONS!
(It's 117 hours of gameplay time for me up until the end of V12 but probably thousands spent on this Nuzlocke)
A free turn to plan can make all the difference. I gotta say that sounds surprisingly generous for Reborn, wouldn't expect a TM like that to like until like Post-game.
That sounds about right, I imagine the editing for some of the longer chapters can stretch into days.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:eh good one.
Yeah they keep it running but they don't actually DO anything until way later in the game (although come the fuck on, Jan. I don't need their "Training" and I'm insulted by the very notion)
She intentionally didn't want her self-insert to do anything, I think? Something about it taking away from the player?
I see you've forgotten my joke about this during the backtracking filler arc. Which is understandable. it was a while ago.
All of my Nuzlockes are part of the TTCU. The Terribly-Titled Cinematic Universe.
As of now, Reborn, Rejuvenation are the only definitely canon entries. Snakewood is more of a What If? And Rising Ruby is...something?
I don't know. I don't actually watch any Marvel stuff to get this 100% accurate.
The training thing, best I can think of is that Jan and Co were going into it thinking a lot people playing were going in after not playing the game for awhile and were rusty. Even then, I feel like there should be some kind of option to opt out.
Ame not wanting her self-insert to do anything is fair, but I gotta take points off for the other characters stealing the spotlight. Radomus for a more infamous example.
Well apparently now there is a Marvel Multiverse, different dimensions and stuff so you're honestly more accurate than you think.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:once named a Pokemon Silver team after the Teen Titans when I was nine but that's about it until Nuzlockes.
Very true. That was one of Reborns main selling points (aside from it's..."maturity" compared to other Pokemon games)
Rejuvenation's main selling point is probably the characters and the bonkers story. Like Reborn is good and all but I don't really LIKE as many of the characters. The Battles in both are decent enough though. Still my favourite Pokemon games even if they make me want to scream.
Reborn's field effects, I feel like you'll never use even half of that stuff but I do like the options (when it's not being used against me at least).
I have many issues with Rejuv's story, but I can't deny I have fun with it. Half the fun is just seeing what they can do with little Pokemon Sprites.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Honestly with how degenerate a lot of Pokemon fans are, it's a refreshing surprise that these fangames don't have any porn. Especially Rejuvenation with it's platoons worth of "waifus".
I reckon the characters not being in 3d helps. Most of the game is just sprites, and the official portraits only pop up every once in a blue moon.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:There was something about Nagini being a sexy asian snake woman this whole time, right?
Making Neville a murderer, I guess.
To be fair, it seems like Nagini seems to have been nothing more than vicious attack Python by the time of the books. More like a mercy killing on Neville's party really.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:God that game will only be a clusterfuck. I guarantee it.
For instance: I heard that Pawmi (9th gen's Pika Clone) will have a move that lets it revive a fainted Pokemon.
If that is usable for Nuzlockes even only one time...jesus...
That's potentially game breaking, I gotta imagine there's some kind of major drawback.
Could make it a once per battle sort of thing for Nuzlocke, maybe?
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I hope so too.
I really hope for someone to make a new franchise that's actually good at some point but the odds of that are incredibly low in this day and age.
Honestly I'd just prefer single standalone movies. Every other attempt to make a franchise in recent years outside of Marvel has met with disaster.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I can easily see that. Her hair already has that mussed up look so it wouldn't be any different.
Makes me jealous. When I wake up I look like Kramer from Seinfeld.
Probably yes. I'd say the character amount is worse though. Like are Alice and Allen REALLY necessary?
The based and redpilled options right there. I'm going to aim for the harem ending in the post-game. I think I can make it work. The only ones that will be spared will be Melia, Venam and Lavender. Melia & Venam's exclusion should be obvious and Lavender is excluded because I wouldn't do that to my boy, Huey.
Emotional Baggage: The Region. Maybe I should just find a nice NPC to settle down with instead...
The only one I know for sure is high in Rejuvenation is Melia due to that whole "I trust Sean with my life, he's the best" thing she tells Erin in the Blakeory Anatheum.
...
Don't know how I feel about that, tbh.
Hard part for me in the morning, is taming this dang beard.
Harem ending, shooting for the stars there aren't you? God luck keeping all those women from fighting each other and/or you.
In Reborn you probably should just find (or create) a nice NPC.
You save her life time and time again, Melia had better trust you with her life.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeah, like holy shit would controlling metal be a great power. Regular Telekinesis still has it beat due to versatility though.
It's what I assume Tops are called.
There you go. Enjoy that bad gay joke.
True, getting hard countered by plastic would be pretty embarrassing.
Thanks, I'll put it with all the other bad jokes from this run.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I'd have to put a chapter up every three days and that would...probably BE possible but yes, I would have died.
It was a mistake in that I started Rejuvenation and enjoyed that a LOT more.
The editing in ORAS wasn't too bad but it was really boring to write for in comparison.
Hopefully after Part 3 I'll have a few Nuzlockes completed for uploading.
But then people will want Part 4 and the Reborn Reboot and these other runs will be left by the wayside once again.
Here lies Sean (Insert Last name here), murdered by writing about fictional girls and creatured.
Rebooting Reborn, so would it be just another alt universe thing from the old run, or just flat starting over?
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I would too. The audience would lose their minds they'd seethe so hard.
Ash being a retard after Sinnoh being one of them. Along with being beaten in the finals by an even BIGGER retard who thought the Unova League was in Ecruteak City.
That always confused me. Like an earthquake happened and you can't EVER depict one in a cartoon? It's weird.
My main desire for Iris to win it all would be that I'd get SO many images of Haxorus I could use. The lesser desires is that's she's cute and I enjoyed her Champion Battle the most.
The fuck was Alain even doing there? He's not a champion, he just barely beat Ash in Kalos.
They honestly couldn't seethe harder than the aftermath of the Kalos League. The salt was unbelievable, even compared to the Tobias battle.
Yeah Unova was where I stopped following regularly, didn't help that I literally started college the day after the last episode of Sinnoh aired.
Japan has really weird censorship laws is all I can say.
Iris put up a good fight, at least and you did get some great Haxorus images. Kinda sucks they brought her back only to lose twice.
The only thing I can think of for Alain is that the writers wanted to show how strong Leon is by him steamrolling a guy that Ash never beat.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It's probably the same game plan everyone else in this game has.
"Wait for Sean to defeat their Pokemon then SWOOP in to steal credit".
Sounds about right for this game.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Another goddess to chain to my throne. That's who she is.
Another part of the harem I assume? How much you wanna bet she's blond?
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:True. That would antagonise me into describing what I'm going to do to them after this story ends in graphic detail which would probably get me sent back to the Stone Age.
And the waiting game begins.
If they're anything like the greek gods, they might be into that sadly.
Then the game unironically turns into Chrono Trigger.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Nahhh man. Final battle is going to be in the small observatory room above the Gearan City Docks entrance. I'll put money on that.
Are they? I thought it was abandoned for the HQ in the Badlands? Maybe they just use it for storage now because I can't see what other use it would have being so remote.
Oh good.
God its been so long, I had to think about where that was at.
I'd still use it since its so remote. Not like anyone can really get to it, and much of the government is in Team Xen's pockets.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Settle? I don't "Settle".
I WILL be their king. Just imagine the power I would wield after becoming Champion? None of my Pokemon have to die anymore! I CAN SPAM ALL THE MAX REVIVES I WANT!
Jan will either be executed or turned into the court jester.
Who will then by executed in a hilarious manner.
Say it with me now: UNLIMITED POWER!
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Jan would definitely redeem himself in my eyes if he made us choose between the entire city of GDC or the characters he KNOWS we care about like Aelita, Ana and Mosely.
Like fuuuuuuck. Can you imagine if he did that and it stuck? I'd go so far as to call him "based".
Good god, that would be quite a choice. I feel like it could potentially happen but I'm not confident enough to bet on it.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It was probably incorrect too. I imagine most anime girls are smooth as silk down there.
He gives as good as he gets.
And how do you know that, might wanna delete your search history.
Caesar has clearly spent way too much time around you.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I guess the gym circuit helped with it a bit?
Plus there's loads of Fighting type trainers who want to train in the mountains and Sheridan's the most mountainous town there is.Mountains are like classic anime training grounds so it makes sense I guess.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Anju is pretty decent, yes. It's a tie between her and Vivian for me with Nymiera taking second.
Hazuki is obviously last due to being tainted by Blakeory seed.
I wish the game would acknowledge that stuff more. Melia should be wary around her, Aelita should develop an aversion to Electric types after her torture, Amber should cheer when whales end up beached on the shore etc. etc.
Would make them feel more alive as characters I think.
Who knows maybe Hazuki had the same idea as you and married Thomas to get to his money?
There's so much plot stuff happening that simple character stuff gets left by the wayside, there's not a whole lot of downtime for the characters other than you the PC when you're doing sidequests.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I'm telling you. It's the Bermuda Triangle of the Pokemon world.
(Weirdly enough, I read somewhere that Jan said it was close to Galar. And the nearest island to Britian is...oh god...)
Aevium being Poke Ireland is hilarious to think about. Seems like this game was the perfect choice to nuzlocke for you, eh?
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:We just have those kinds of faces, I guess? Like Melia and Aelita, I get. They're pretty girls with upbeat personalities (most of the time) But me? Some sinister bespectacled fellow hanging around girls ten years younger than him? Not a chance anyone trusts me.
God I hope not.
Maybe she thought you were their bodyguard? You're more grouchy than sinister most times that involve child napping and meglomania.
Just imagine Souta jokingly challenging you to battle for hitting on his woman.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:One of the fuckers on the Nuzlocke Forums pointed out that I would be the Tuxedo Mask of the new generation and I can't help but agree that there are a LOT of parallels between us.
Yeah. They really fucking dropped the ball by telling us to leave and let "them sort this out".
Sprite Sean is also to blame for this since he KNOWS what happens to Anju yet does nothing to stop it.
Honestly its not a bad comparison. The old anime kinda underated the guy, he apparently kicked ass in the manga.
At this point the PC not saying anything to them about what happens kinda makes you look like a asshole. I get that doing that would probably throw the whole plot off the rails and make more work for the writers, but still.
At least give Anju a hint to watch out or anything.
On 7/22/2022 at 1:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yyyyep.
Winter is both easier to upload due to the darkness and the room not getting overheated from the three lamps I have on for lighting.
Doesn't help that one of those lamps is nearly older than I am. It's like the one piece of furniture from our first house that survived all these years.
A good lamp is like a family heirloom really. Who knows maybe its the key to some kind of ancient prophecy in your family?
Chapter 141 Comments:
SpoilerMeddlin' Melia ruins everything, which can sum up this whole arc in a nutshell. Like it wouldn't be so bad if Sprite Sean had provided the important context. I'm starting to think that you're the good side and the sprite just wants the so the world burn.
Heracross Poop Stink Bomb. . . are we sure Cella and Vivian are friends? I guess they had to get the time amulet out of Aelita's hands somehow. Carnage almost being erased from existence was pretty funny I gotta say. Love a good Back to the Future Reference.
Also I sure hope Melia wore gloves, though at least the game didn't make you pick it up which is a nice change of pace.
The whole self sacrifice spell, I'm sure something would have gone wrong, but I kinda wish their was a route where the PC had kept the info to himself and ended up agreeing to secretly help Vivian or something.
Honestly you should be used to characters not actually stopping people from running way. Though if Vivian is anything like Aelita, she probably would have folded you with mystic martial art nonsense, so that's probably for the best.
Quote
So maybe there's some other bitch pulling Kanon's strings? Someone we haven't met yet?
Hmmm.God I hope not, there's already enough antagonists as it is in this game. We don't need a 5th or 6th party involved.
I gotta admit that Vivian summoning Regirock scene was pretty cool to look at. Also those Regi sound effects never get old, poor Regiggas sounds like he needs a major software update.
On Galarian forms, Gamefreak has always been kinda bad with the distribution of these gimmicks, friendly reminder that non of the Kalos starters got Mega evos in XY, but freaking Charizard got 2. And no I don't count Ash-Greninja because that didn't even come out till the next generation.
Quote
I'm honestly surprised you Ren even has stars, I figured you would have ripped them off after him joining Xen.
Vivian just randomly shanking you is hilarious. Stabbing in the heart without a care for your feelings, women right?
That battle was pretty hairy at a few moments there. Rhyperior surviving that first Giga Drain was probably due to Solid Rock plus that Sandstorm Special defense buff.
Also yeah you definitely gotta update that moveset for Zolt, I could have sworn it knew Discharge but I guess not.
I clenched when that Bruxish almost killed Caesar, be a hell of a bad time to lose a mon considering what comes next.
Dr. Zauis Mind Crushing Mega-Zam was probably the best part. I'd say keep Nasty Plot, his Special Defense is already pretty good, plus it's probably one of your best running gags to be honest.
And now the timeline collapses. I gotta say what happened to Aelita looked pretty dire, I forgot she just straight up disentegrated. Maybe Thanos did something to her.
Also yep this is all Melia's fault, plus Cella and more than a little bit of In game Sean. I guess you could say its time to go . . . Back to the Future?

I can't tell you either. The main problem was that I went into it expecting to fight a FIGHTING type Rift.
NOT a Rock/Fighting with 5 Alolan Golems attached.
Kinda still puts her above like 90 percent of humans at least barring other superpowered people like Angie or Madame X.
Oh yeah Rift-lita would be bad enough, the dang Golems are just the icing on the cake. Guess Jan didn't think a one on one with her wouldn't have been tough enough.

I should change my name to Sean Tesla or Sean United States of America and see if that works in every job field.
I'd believe too, someone must have seen his name and said "We'd be fools not to take advantage".
Sean Tesla sounds like the name of some kind of mad scientist that goes on wacky adventures I gotta say.
On 6/16/2022 at 1:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Nah, it's worse. She's a monster who doesn't give them nicknames.
I don't think I could get Aelita on my side like that. She's far too righteous.
It will literally be just me on my own against all of them.
But the only people in the region who give their mons nicknames are you and Melia. . .
Maybe if you present you're arguement juuust right. Like "Hey Aelita, these people are messing up the earth and stuff, everything would be totally better under me!".
On 6/16/2022 at 1:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Just gotta win the lottery man.

Alexandra's mom seemed to have been the latter if she copied Reborn's busted model. At least she managed to improve it by not making her league riddled with fucking nepotism. (Even if her son being the Dragon Leader and her Daughter being stand-in champion is a little suspicious)
And it won't even be much of a break since I have to get everything ready for Part 4 and for a spin-off show.
Ughhhhh.
That's such a low bar that it's a trip hazard. I give Damien and April/Krystal/whatever her name is credit for at least trying to keep things running. Ame doesn't seem to do much of anything after like the first gym to the point she gets murked by Lin.
Spin off show, what is this the MCU? Is there a Derogatory Cinematic Universe now?
On 6/16/2022 at 1:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Using part of the Pokemon's name is probably the laziest attempt at a nickname. Like calling a Squirtle "Squirt" or a Machamp "Champ".
Field effects aren't as frequent as they are in Reborn at least?
Well it doesn't feel like they are anyway.
Oh definitely, though I can talk since I don't think I ever actually bothered to nickname my pokemon until I started reading nuzlocke comics in college. I kinda stuck then.
I feel like for field effects: in Reborn its a feature and selling point. Here in Rejuv, they're definitely there but its not quite as important. I think the fact that Ame in game provide you with notes on the field, but there's no such thing in Rejuvenation is telling.

It's actually kind of weird we never got that kind of grass leader yet, huh?

...
I think I might just find cinemas comfy at this point. Like I never fall asleep in public. Not ever but for some reason I've fallen asleep at Jurassic Park 3, Rogue One, Fantastic Beasts, Avatar and Night at the Museum.
I honestly don't understand how Avatar is getting a damn sequel. Only thing the first one had going for it was SFX, but its been 13 years its been surpassed on that front. Hopefully Avatar 2 will suck so this franchise can stay dead.

Alas, no romance allowed in-game. I'd probably have a hard time actually choosing.
Which is the complete opposite from Reborn.
Is there a way to check relationship levels?
Erin's one of those people who wake up looking gorgeous with no effort, obviously.
Probably for the best, the game is already groaning under the weight of the plot. Though if we had the option, I'd be torn between Amber, Erin, or Aelita.
Most everyone in reborn is like psychologically broken, literally children, or fucking evil. The only really feasible choice in my eyes is maybe Serra or Victoria (if the latter ever gets over Cal).
I don't think there's a way in game to check, outside you probably have to Essentials/Debug or whatever its called.
On 6/16/2022 at 1:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Careful. That's sounding like X-Men talk.
Don't want me to start calling you a "homo superior" do you?
Haha. And the irony is that I have memory like a sieve when it comes to my own words.
Hey man if I could do half the stuff Magneto could do, I'd be talking the same way too.
It honestly sounds like the payoff to a really bad gay joke.

7 years this August 20th. I did not expect it would last this long since I got through the Reborn run in a single year of uploading.
And yet after ALL that time, I still don't have a single completed Nuzlocke. I mean ORAS was but who the fuck cares about ORAS?
Man could you imagine trying to power through all of the Rejuvenation stuff in a year? You'd have probably burned out in like 5 or six badges in.
The Alphabet locke seems like it was a mistake in retrospect, it must be a hell of a lot harder to edit 3d stuff.

I didn't watch the original Unova series so it's probably easier that I only know the game one and the one we have now.
Haxorus represent! Crush those Garchomp losers!
Hell I'd take that over the very real chance they just magically have him lose to random people and starting trainers all over again.
The original Unova series wasn't THAT bad, but it had some. . . controversial decisions made. Helps a chunk of the main plot was straight deleted because of that massive earthquake that hit Japan in 2011.
I really want Iris to win, but I am bracing myself for a Cynthia win.
Also Alain got flattened by Leon in the recent episode (the fan reaction has not been great about that) and now we gotta wait two weeks for the next one.
Chapter Comments:
SpoilerTiempa and Spacea, truly the best characters in the game. Divine Intervention when you don't want it is truly the best, I'm honestly wondering what even is their game plan at this point. Gotta wonder what's stopping them from just erasing Team Xen from existence.
Beyond them being lazy bums. Or maybe whoever "Her Majesty" is, is a lazy bum.
Also it's probably best they can't hear you, they'd probably just be patronizing as all hell. Which would piss you off even more.
I'm honestly expecting to go back to Blacksteeple at some point, it's too perfect of a place for a major showdown with Team Xen. It seems like they're still using it as a base at least. Also Melia's mission is still just a dumb in V13, don't worry there.
Sorry Sean, your gonna have to settle for the Championship Title with whatever actual authority that gives you, you should probably just take In game Jan's job. He seems to be the actual man running things behind the scenes.
Can't believe the game is going with the trolley problem of all things (that picture with you riding on the trolley is hilarious). Obviously we're gonna go for the third option like all good JRPGs, but it'd be wild if the game made us have to choose like that.
That bush pun was terrible and you know it. Though Caesar got you back good there.
Zira is hilarious, despite the rather dark subject of her running joke. Might as well get some use out of that ceiling light, can never seem to justify using mine over simple lamp.
Onto Sheridan village, who seems to have terrible luck retaining people due to the Sensei/mayor having an emotional breakdown every generation. I'm shocked anyone even lives in the village come modern day.
I kinda like Anju, she's my favorite of the "Protectors", just pretty nice overall. Too bad she gets corrupted by Indriad. Melia being intimidated by her kinda makes sense with the whole tried to sacrifice her thing, Melia didn't know she had powers like you before you took that lava bath.
I didn't think a place going Chernobyl literally was a thing that would happen but here we are. This whole section of the world must be cursed honestly.
Also don't worry Sean, I don't think your uncultured swine, more like a boar really. Also it'd get really dull if you couldn't understand your mons admit it.
Cella trusting all this to a bunch of people she just met it weird but honestly its lowkey compared to like everything else in this region. Also god I hope you hitting on her comes up when you go back to the future, that'd be very hilarious.
That Sailor Moon edit is the best thing ever, its so true it hurts. Only difference is that the scouts won, the Protectors meanwhile dropped the ball so hard that it hit the core and doomed the planet.
Vivian, that whole conversation with her is something. I kinda wish how you answer impacts the story in some way. Like one set of choices causes her to look for a different solution altogether. Though I know everything is set in stone because otherwise we get. . . well you know.
Also aww, you do kinda sorta like your group of unruly teenagers.
I get ya, sitting down to work on this takes time, also I kinda hate how bright it is even at 9 PM. It's throwing me off.

On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Honestly can't remember what I did with my evenings after school. Probably just ate dinner and slept during weekdays.
That's true for me too. I've got like 6 games I started over the last year and haven't finished any of them. It's like once I put something down for just a bit, I don't want to pick it up again.
Too many games, books, so little time. Gets worse and worse every year ugh. . . .
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:WHY IS EVERYONE IN THIS ANIME GAME WITH ANIME HAIR COLOURS LYING TO ME!?!?
Pretty much. The only real benefit they serve is that I don't have two Pokemon out at once. So deaths will be slower to come.
The hair dye is seeping into the brain, causing issues obviously.
Slow attrition vs a quick massacre. Hell of a choice there.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Not yet it isn't. The current champion has been pathetically incompetent her entire reign. Can't be helped when her mother got the League idea from visiting fucking Reborn. PRE-Sean Reborn. (Though I might change that in my universe depending on how I feel)
The v13 stuff DOES take place in Part 5? 54 of those chapters are all of Part 4. And there will be a break once this season is finished because...well because I want one.
It all comes back to reborn. I guess they were REALLY desperate to create a league.
Huh, don't know why I got it in my head that Part 4 would be about as long as 3. Man take as much of a break you need, you've been pumping this stuff out at quite the pace.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Sta-Oh you mean NOVA.
Ohhhhh...THAT must have been why I named her Nova...like stars. I had forgotten.
It's actually fine. Because it comes with a Notepad file with all of them on it that I will now religiously read whenever a field pops up.
Okay yeah Nova is better name by far. I dunno why I thought it was Star.
Please do, bad enough you gotta deal with all these mutant mons, do let the field effects sucker punch you.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:True.
I wonder if Sturdy stops it though...might be an good strategy if so.
I know Shell armor makes you take 1/2 HP from it instead of it being a KO. Had my Torterra survive it once because of that.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I miss when I got a Pokemon from these things. Now all it's going to be from here on out is Stickers and Mega Stones for Pokemon I don't have.
You're hitting a point where you can either catch most mons or have to got through some kind of event/side quest for the rare stuff like with Destiny. Stuff like most of the Pseudo legendaries are locked behind them too.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Does she AT LEAST get fisted by Big Bertha in the prison showers like I said?
Please let this game give me that.
Sounds like this call for a Derogatory Trainer Edit!. . . . if you can figure out a way to do it without being kicked off the site at least.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:God I hope that new Harry Potter game will be good.
I needs to be, the franchise's not doing to hot honestly with the last movie to come out.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Sorry I was confused. When you said, You, Salazzle and Rose beating something up I thought you meant the textbox.
Imagine the hate sex we'd have.
Make sure you don't catch Poison Ivy from her at least.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yes it's the 2nd time and I'm getting worried. There's only 1 more Back to the Future movie I can use as a chapter title for the chapter where we go...well...back to the future.
Gotta branch out to other time travel movies at this rate, there's plenty to choose from.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Something I've noticed about movies from back then is that they're a lot less...formulaic than the ones we have now. Like I could sit down and watch any movie at this point and figure out exactly where it's going after twenty minutes in. The only improvement we have today are effects and CGI but storytelling has taken a nosedive.
It's all about the money, everything is calculated to hit that sweetspot that a bunch of people will like. A few break the mold, but they're increasingly rare.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I think you're forgetting what a war machine Astroboy was.
Ana's more like Tima from Metropolis than anything else. Including the possible sinister function she might have.
Too true, I was more comparing how innocent looking they are in comparison to the Iron Giant or Terminator. Genuinely curious on to how Jan is gonna bring it all together in the end.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:The ring light is a relatively new edition. It cost like 7 euro.
The other two lights are my desk lamp and a tall floor lamp that's been in my family for nearly thirty years.
Pretty easy to guess that this is a low budget operation, huh?
I could tell from various stand ins for PokeBalls over the years.
Yeah the stuff built way back then seems to work forever if it isn't like completely destroyed.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:They have good taste.
Erin is probably the most attractive of all the characters judging by her character art.
Or even just by in-game art.
Like damn.
That's one fiiiine lookin' drawing right there.
I gotta admit she is, too bad there's no romance options for the PC. I feel like you would need a High Relationship status with for her to even consider it.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It's okay. Everyone in 2-D pokemon games have very tiny eyes but really big black lines around them to reduce glare.
Like peregrine falcons. Because I just watched a documentary on them.
Especially since they don't address the player at all.
It's like "why the fuck am I even here?"
Pokemon humans truly are the next step in evolution.
You're here to keep records of everything said like a overqualified secretary obviously.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Erin is abusive towards Aelita. She's hit her, she's insulted her. The girl is a bully!
Don't worry, Aelita is tough like an angry piece of dried bubblegum.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Unfortunately, Matt the Bat wasn't available at the time. Neither was Harley the Hurley, Caleb the Club or Rick the Stick. Also baseball bats aren't common over here. We use Hurleys and mine was out in the shed at the time of recording.
The Lion Sleeps Tonight was playing in my head while the punch was getting closer to Deoxys face.
You mean you couldnt be bothered to go get it, gosh Sean I thought you were a professional!?!
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Also I just realised the cheeky bitch can sense life.
She KNEW Anastasia was right there listening.
Gotta get those life lessons in some how I guess.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:The TRUE hassle is looking presentable enough to be on camera. Unless I take pictures at night and at least two hours after a shower I look a mess due to my hair being naturally untidy and the lighting being all wrong.
There's also the constraint with Pokemon having a very finite space to talk and the facial cramps from fucking smiling.
...
I'd be shocked if you ever touched another Pokemon fangame again after finishing all this up. Reborn, Snakewood, ORAS, Rejuv, that's what 7 or 8 years at this point? Certainly hasn't been boring at least.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It is weird how we've never battled her yet.
...
Also I'm 100% just going to run up and punch it again. You've put that thought into my head and it is never going to leave.
Swear there was a battle with her in prehistoric version of the game, like version 4 or 5. You should punch the rest of her team as well, while your mons in the background shout advice like a boxing coach.
On 6/2/2022 at 4:01 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Or better yet, a surprise contestant in the form of fucking Tobias. That'd drive the fans wild with rage.
I'm fine with anyone except Cynthia and Dianthe myself. I just rep Iris because of Haxorus and she's got a cute design.
Cynthia is always overhyped and Dianthe is garbage compared to everyone else. Though I think Lance or Alain winning is the least likely
To be fair, that was a pre-trained Snivy and Pikachu's electricity and levels were robbed by Zekrom. Still garbage but explainable.
Hell I don't even think the writers remember Tobias at this point. It would be hilarious. The kid in me that grew up watching the anime kinda wans Ash to take it home, but he more jaded adult is prepared for dissappointment on that front.
Iris is very cute I gotta say. Also between her and Rose, Haxorus has become one of my favorite Dragon Types.
Since I technically already replied to this chapter, just gonna do replies for now.

Fucking hate those days.
Where's 1st Born Son day, huh? Why don't I get a third gift day?
You only get a third gift day on Valentine's Day if you've got a date, if you're single oh well.
On 5/28/2022 at 7:50 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeah that was the decision I came to as well. This part ends with Melia staring off a cliff saying how "She'll defeat Madame X" so at least we'll be going out on a laugh despite the myriad of deaths that happened this Part
Knowing your luck she'll think she's laughing with her instead of at her. Oh man the bad future arc can't be that bad deathwise. . . . right?
On 5/28/2022 at 7:50 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I think they made it up honestly. Some fan-game developers did that before to escape having to admit they gave up.
"Look man Nintendo Ninjas broke into our home and deleted all our data, totally!"
On 5/28/2022 at 7:50 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I'm not some wanker who names his weapons!

Pokemon don't count as weapons, do they?
Only if you're a VILLAIN! Which you totally aren't. . . relatively speaking!
On 5/28/2022 at 7:50 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Hahaha, I'm the controlled opposition?
That'd be a hell of a twist.
Hah, you wake up one day and you see Jan and Zumi looking at you through a computer screen. Reality breaks down and then the awful truth dawns on you.
On 5/28/2022 at 7:50 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I made it to 17 with the only internet being Facebook on my flip-phone. I don't think I spent much time doing anything online until I started doing this run either. THEN came the sharp decline into madness.
Yeahhhh...I'm just like...naaaahhhh...
Not too interested in much lately anyway. The Harry Potter game coming out might be good at least.
Oh god I couldn't imagine that, especially until 17. It's addicting being able to access anything at the type of a few keys.
Man I still got so much old stuff the go through, i can't even be bothered with anything new.
On 5/28/2022 at 7:50 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeah that's probably what will happen.
At least I might get an award out of it? And then I can refuse the reward because I'm better than all of Hollywood and don't need their approval over what I do.
On 5/28/2022 at 7:50 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I'll be watching them VERY carefully from now on...I will not be dethroned...
These all sound like VERY healthy coping mechanisms.
Better than jumping off a cliff and hoping I get isekai'd into Aevium at least.
Make them your court jesters, though Pika will likely try to assassinate you first chance she gets.
On 5/28/2022 at 7:50 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeah I kicked those fuckers out into the desert to be killed by the X-Grunt when the opportunity came up.
...
Then I killed the X-Grunt.
Man why even bother with the admins when they could send these X-Grunts after you, they're stronger than the admins apparently.
On 5/28/2022 at 7:50 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Until V13 where's he turns into an anime loving retard. Who was ALSO lying about his natural hair colour like everyone else.
But he's still an okay guy.
Oh man, no. Fuck Double Battles with an NPC. Aside from that one battle with Aelita they're usually torture.
You mean that Blue hair isn't natural, shocked I am, truly.
Yeah Doubles in this game seem to be either hard carrying the other side or praying they don't friendly fire you.
On 5/28/2022 at 7:50 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Ahaha glad you liked it.
Yeah he pretty much just jumped at them like a torpedo.
The Xen Grunt, they were in the trees man. . .
Regally jumped I'm sure. Like true loyalty.
On 5/28/2022 at 7:50 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:WOMEN!? TAKE CARE OF...THEMSELVES!? Not in THIS timeline!
She's also got a MASSIVE Intelligence and Wisdom debuff from being a member of a police force so maybe she never even considered using her Pokemon?
Oh and it's...roughly 70 chapters until then?
Of course. The only true law of the land is the champion, everyone else is just there for moral support.
Can't wait for your "training arc" then, sooner than I expected really. I figured the V13 stuff would end up in like Part 5 or something like that.
On 5/28/2022 at 7:50 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:T-top flying type though!
Yeah it was actually a worse scare than Rose solely because I would have been the one who unwittingly caused the death.
I think the panic of a move that's not supposed to be able to hit hitting Bass elevated my fear.
Easy to be top when most of the competition besides Star and Itemfinder are six feet under!
Field effects man its worse than Reborn because I don't even think there's like a field effects list in game for Rejuvenation.
On 5/28/2022 at 7:50 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:There's also that thing where if you use too many Ground type moves in caves the ceiling will collapse on top of both Pokemon and KO them instantly.
So it wasn't as good an option as you think. At least this one worked out with no deaths.
Well mutal suicide would have made the battle quicker at least!
On 5/28/2022 at 7:50 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:That wasn't the reward though. I just FOUND this lying in a cave.
My reward was half a weeks wages on minimum wage and a sticker.
Wahoo.
Hard battles with high risk and little reward, yep that's Rejuvenation in a nutshell.
On 5/28/2022 at 7:50 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Even if it wasn't spoilers I don't want to talk about her.
She is irrelevant for the rest of Part 3 and that's how I likes it.
Hell if she ever comes up again, you can even pretend you don't know who she is just the tweak her.
On 5/28/2022 at 7:50 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Wonder if that's how Valarie copes with being a marine biologist?
How exactly do you explain the Drizzle Ability? Or Cloud Nine?
Honestly her notebook is just full of sentences like "Magic I guess". Pokemon at this point are less like actual animals and more like the stuff you see in Harry Potter.
On 5/28/2022 at 7:50 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:...She'll?
It's proper English I swear! Yeah Ferrothorn is female, I think flora's whole team is female. So she's clearly sexist on top of being evil.
God I hope the whole Rejuv forum randomly disappearing doesn't become a habit, this is getting a bit annoying.
Comments for Chapter 139.
SpoilerOh boy back to the past again for the 2nd time (or 3rd time if you count when you first men Marionette). I'm sure this will go well.
I actually watched Terminator 2 with my parents recently. It's honestly damn good, which honestly makes how bad the three movies after it are all the more hilarious.
Also don't worry, Ana is more Astro Boy than Terminator for now at least.
The light does look better in the pictures, at least I think so anyways. Also I really just hit me you would have had to use some kind of lighting for all these screenshots.
Erin does have a lot of custom sprite animations, someone on the development team likes her ALOT.
Oh look an eclipse, actually don't look at an eclipse it'll do bad things to your eyes unprotected. Also Tiempia and Spacia, your two favorite deities, I remember the conversation coming up being particularly dumb.
Point to Erin with that pancake line that one was pretty good. Sorry Aelita, you'll get her next time.
Also oh god, Zira hungers again. Better check to make sure a few of your mons aren't mysteriously missing every once in awhile at this rate.
Should gone with a bat instead of a racket, though Chet's valiant sacrifice will never be forgotten. Least you got to punch a infant alien in the process, so there's that!
Vivian doesn't give off a good first impression, literally no reason she couldn't have handled it herself. Plus you know the whole conversation with Katsu, I'd have punched Vivian if I were Katsu after awhile.
QuoteWHY DID I DO A REACTION-LOCKE AND NOT JUST A REGULAR SCREENSHOT RUN!?!?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI imagine it can be a pain trying to get the expressions just right for one picture let alone a whole chapter. It makes your stuff stand out at the very least.
Nastasia meeting Deoxys, god you probably should have just killed it if it wouldn't have caused some kind of time paradox. I imagine if you ever battle Anastasia, Deoxys will be her ace.
In regards to the Anime Tournament, I honestly want Iris or Cynthia to win. Leon's whole unbeatable champion gimmick got kind of old. God if Ash wins and then his pikachu looses to some lvl 5 starter in the next gen, the fanbase would erupt.

If I didn't decide to combine the original Parts 3&4 we'd be done by now.
That is what I call a you problem. But seriously I understand, like the only really suitable cutoff point is the end of the Alternate timeline arc. Nothing else really fits to be honest.
On 5/14/2022 at 11:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I think it's a scare tactic mostly.
They've never actually brought anyone to court over it and you can still play Uranium as easily as you could back then.
I dunno, there was a Metroid fangame that got hit with C&D order and was basically kicked off the web. Feels like a roll of the die at times.
On 5/14/2022 at 11:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeah but at that point they wouldn't BE strangers.
I'm talking about if someone went into One Piece at episode 978/

On 5/14/2022 at 11:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Oh so is mine. Because it came out when I was 12 and an innocent boy with no internet.
Same. It's more of a lack of free time for me than anything else now. Plus there's new stuff I haven't played yet as well.
I've still not finished Elden Ring even though I really like it. It's just every time I think about playing it, I go "Ah but I should really finish editing those photos for the Nuzlocke" and then when I finish THAT the computer is there in front of my so I just play something casual on that.
The cycle never ends...
Wish I could say the same, think I've had some kind of internet access since I was about 10 and it been downhill ever since in some ways.
God I can't even be bothered to play games released within a year or so, got a huge backlog of older stuff to try and/or finish. Tales of Berseria, Nier, The Final Fantasy VII remake ugh. . .
On 5/14/2022 at 11:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I figured out how it'll work now but that's in spoiler territory.
I can actually make a guess, but I choose to be surprised and/or amused when it becomes relevant in 2027.
On 5/14/2022 at 11:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I would have been all for this is you didn't mention "Melia has been taken".
Like I like the idea of me jetting off to a foreign land to stop some evil. It just screams "non-canon anime movie".
Okay how about Anabel and Looker abduct YOU, and you gotta fight your way out of a foreign land? Or Rose organizes a rescue party and comes and busts you out.
On 5/14/2022 at 11:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I'll need the space for my Pokemon so more like an entire island for myself. due to the varying types I have. Like a jungle for Caesar or a valley for Rose.
I'm a loner by choice but the choice is often taken from me by people who want to drag me into the burning sunlight.
Very true. Atheism has become it's own unorganised religious movement and it's hilarious.
I'm a devout believer in Apathetism myself. Like if there is or isn't a God it don't really matter. I'm not going to go around eating babies just because eternal damnation might await me. I'm not going to do it because wft that's evil.
If there is a God and I meet him in heaven I'll be like "Wow...there's that question answered. Now please reincarnate me into the Pokemon world, thanks."
Heh imagine something like that island where Pokemon Snap takes place.
I wasn't exactly a social butterfly myself, but the last few years have exacerbated the issue for various.
Ironic, atheism became the very thing it sought to combat.
I'd be careful there, you could be reincarnated in Aevium or the Reborn Region.
On 5/14/2022 at 11:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I WILL STILL LOVE HER!
But I will also heal her because well c'mon. It'd be stupid not to.
Assuming she doesn't pull a Vader and bite the dust moments after a heartfelt moment between the two of you.
On 5/14/2022 at 11:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I slap your generosity to the ground and call you a fool. He obviously ran there to hide from the Team Xen members on his island like the coward he is.
To be fair, Specter exists.
All apart of his cunning plan to lull Team Xen in a false sense of security.
And I was literally just reminded this guy exists, where are they pulling these people from? Be nice if we could get them to help with the whole Team Xen thing.
On 5/14/2022 at 11:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yes...anitgaround...a man who DARES step into my Nuzlocking territory just like Pikafan did for Reborn.
The walls are closing in on me, Dex. New blood will soon replace mine! I must destroy them before it's too late!
True. Most just used different coloured texts and fonts for their Pokemon instead of going the extra mile.
It's a far superior way of telling a story than what I'm doing at least.
That is the TRUE horror of a blind run of a in-development game title. I'll be here forever and even then I'm going to dread when the ending finally comes because that's it. Story's over. Bye-Bye Rose, Bye-bye Caesar, bye-bye...everyone.
Don't worry, it'll probably just be Pikafan and antingaround doing screenshot runs. The other New Blood either runs away screaming or gets wiped out early before even considering recording the run.
. . . You could get a pet lizard and name her Rose, a ball of yarn and name it Caesar, a stress ball and name it Melia?

On 5/14/2022 at 11:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I don't even care about how she got it. I care about how she got the information about how it works already.
How many Pokemon did Interpol torture and kill for that information?Better keep watch on your mons lest one "mysteriously dissappers". That's your non canon anime movie plot there, they kidnap Rose to text Rift matter on her.
On 5/14/2022 at 11:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I'd prefer it if they weren't forgotten beasts strewn about the region.
I'd actually like this innocent seeming side-quest to have massive repercussions and Interpol unleashes them onto the world to take over.
And you gotta team up with Team Xen, Bladestar, Anti Assist, plus Angie and her army of Maids to put a stop to them.
On 5/14/2022 at 11:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Glad you liked it!
I think they might have done in newer versions?
All I know is there's a "Xen Pose" later on in the game that I'd never seen before so some things have changed in that regard.
Oh yeah they do that. But its not as funny, because you know they're killing people instead of mostly harmless Jesse, James and Meowth.
On 5/14/2022 at 11:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I do enjoy doing it and making the jokes but I'm reaching that point in my life where I thought I'd have figured it all out at least a little, y'know? But I guess that was just the folly of youth and growing up in the better times we used to live in 10-20 years ago.
Hahaha, maybe if I stand outside the Raid Shadow Legends HQ with my hat in hand, they'd give me a sponsorship?
Less better times and more we have adult responsibilities now. Fun stuff like bills.
They honestly might, I swear damn near every video I clicked on like a year ago was sponsored by them.
On 5/14/2022 at 11:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:They were REALLY banking on that gate keeping everyone out.
Which annoyingly worked until we came along.

On 5/14/2022 at 11:54 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:That's Flora to a T right there.
She'
s such a sweetheart.Clearly the real endgame is Sean x Flora. With a messy divorce and custody battle after the credits roll at the end of the game.
Chapter replies:
SpoilerLook it's Erick, he's pretty cool. Honestly one of the better gym leaders personality wise. Too bad him being here ends up being meaningless. Hell they could have made it a double battle with you and Erick teaming up. God knows you needed as much help as you could get in that fight.
The song fits all to well, considering you are more or less at war with these yahoos. Reinhart flying into action in the picture made me laugh.
You'd think Looker would think Anabel can take care of herself, but I guess not. Hell she has a mon that can mega evolve if Sun/Moon is any indication. You wont even get that for another god know how many chapters.
You'd think Flora would have some kind of better security than that. But maybe she's counting on the fact that any intruders who get into the chamber would get taken care of by the rift mon.
Which in this case she's not completely wrong. Because holy crap that was a battle. I genuinely thought Bass was going to bite it there when that Drill Run hit. Field effects are BS I swear. And the poor guys not even the top dragon on your team, shame.
Also "Not very effective" hits doing a huge amount of damage is probably one of the most infuriating things to see in Pokemon when your on the receiving end.
Also the health boost up from the Form Change was just a jerk move on Jan's part. God a ground type would have made this fight a hell of a lot easier, assuming it didn't leveled trying to get hit in.
And for all your troubles you get "Dark Material", still not the worst award from a help quest sadly.
Man I wanna talk more about Flora in Reborn but that's MAJOR Ep 19 spoilers.
Pokemon Biology makes no sense, biologists in that world either get drunk or stop caring altogether and roll with it at this point.
You, Salazzle, and Rose beating that Rift mon up is funny, but the sad part is that she'll barely feel it honestly.
This whole thing ALMOST makes you miss the main plot.

On 5/6/2022 at 12:20 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I laugh at the idea that there could be strangers after 130+ chapters. Like who tf opens something at Chapter 167 or something? I don't even think I COULD do it though. I'd have to fight every natural instinct I have.
You'd be surprised. I regularly see people who've jumped onto the One Piece anime and binged the entire series in a like a few months.

That might work too.
It's gonna be like this, I bet.
Better hope Tailwind Ted lends you his sword to fight Madame X when the time comes.

That's so...
Creepy.
We see everything you do, there is no escape.

They are fun but I wouldn't have the patience to play them again. Even the train one.
Hey man my interest in the game is innocent, can't say the same for a lot of other people based on all the "special" fanart of Midna.
It's sad, there's a whole lot of games I love but I just can't be bothered to go through them again. Just getting old I guess.
On 5/6/2022 at 12:20 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:We're used to it.
Depending on how this bedroom I seem to bring with me wherever I go in-game works anyway.
Maybe it's like Inside Out or something?
Hell of an out of body experience that would be.
On 5/6/2022 at 12:20 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:While I know you were beings sarcastic, I start of not trusting anyone by default.
I would scream. I would scream so loud so I could collapse my own lungs and not have to deal with a man behind the man behind the man in another country. Because I am exhausted enough as it is.
Silly Sean, you should know by now it can always get more complicated. Just imagine it, Pokemon Rejuvenation 2. Melia has been taken and you have to go to (insert region here) and get her back using Pokemon and James Bond esque ploys. It would be a beautiful trainwreck.
On 5/6/2022 at 12:20 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Just let me buy a HOUSE, Gamefreak! And make a difficulty setting where if you do Hard Mode you get to play as an adult.
Yeah I don't drink it outside of social interactions, of which I choose to have as little as possible.
Religious are you? Stay right there, I need to get my fedora and neckbeard to dab on you for DARING to believe in something.
Hey if Cynthia can have her own property straight in another country, you can at least have a house. I'd take even a small shack on some out of teh way Island.
Hah, nice to see other loners in this day and age. Keeping up with people is exhausting.
Religious is a strong word, but I do try to go church once a week at least. Nothing wrong with believing unless your pushy about it.
On 5/6/2022 at 12:20 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:There isn't one. My toilet is literally just a hole in the ground with a bucket around it. Luckily the Void doesn't care what you throw or defecate into it.
Being a Japanese Pokeparent is hard. The other mothers all have beds.
Don't pollute the void, think of the Void Whales!
It's all worth it for the bragging rights of birthing essentially the savior of the region.
On 5/6/2022 at 12:20 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Nah, Narcissa's been sent back in time, remember? I might run into that Danny Phantom looking guy though.
She's fighting against Jan and his despotic reign of terror, where he can just erase innocent women from existence.
Sadly, she's gone too deep and become the very thing she swore to destroy...it's tragic.
Gotta bring her back to the light side, hopefully she's not all burned up inside that suit like Darth Vader.
On 5/6/2022 at 12:20 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:For his WHAT!?!?!
His what, secret documents? That's silly, have no idea what you're talking about.
On 5/6/2022 at 12:20 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It was weird wasn't it? I wonder if someone working on Gen VII created her and wanted to bring her back or something...
Wouldn't surprise me, or maybe she's somebody in the development team's waifu.
On 5/6/2022 at 12:20 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I know.
I played those games recently. Ultra Beasts and Z-moves were just another gimmick in the end though so we probably won't see it come up again.
You could kinda argue that Eternatus is some kind of Ultra Beast. It kinda give me a UB feeling in design at least.
On 5/6/2022 at 12:20 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Exactly. With that power you'd THINK he'd be better at his fucking job.
Maybe he's really good at Search & Rescue but couldn't show it off at the time?
But that doesn't excuse why he left after hearing Team Xen was on the island to play in the swamp mud.
I'm gonna be generous and maybe say he got a lead on Nastasia's secret lab in the swamp.
I feel like the whole blind with superpowers thing was a mistake considering Crawli might be the least relevant gym leader in the whole game to the main plot.
On 5/6/2022 at 12:20 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:He doesn't remember me doing it to him. Otherwise I doubt he would have given me the Bug Z-Crystal after I left Kakori. Makes sense. I REALLY put my back into that desk slam.
Congrats on beating up a blind person!
On 5/6/2022 at 12:20 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yes. They go in a deeply unsatisfying way where they conclude in a way that the player gets no say whatsoever in their fate/punishment. It's such horseshit.
Well, that's what editing is for, I suppose. At least you can be satisfied you crushed their hopes and dreams?
On 5/6/2022 at 12:20 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:That makes sense but he did explain why he was in the Nightmare realm as "somebody couldn't forget me" or something. Which he states is Melia.
So it's fucking confusing no matter how you look at it.
Honestly I like my explanation better.
On 5/6/2022 at 12:20 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:That'd be funny up until the point where she accidentally kills him because she didn't know I was doing a Nuzlocke.
Dramatic Irony at its finest, which is like 20 percent of what this run/game is made off. So it fits.
On 5/6/2022 at 12:20 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:ee thanks.
True. I've never seen another Rejuvenation Nuzlocke outside of Youtube (and they aren't as funny or interesting as mine).
Everyone else just can't compete with me, I guess. In both skill and tenacity.
The last one is probably the biggest reason though. The lack of sanity.
Especially in doing a reaction-locke and not what Pikafan is doing in her Nuzlockes with the character panels.
GOD I WISH I DID THAT INSTEAAAAAAD!!!
Well now we got that one Ironman screenshot run antigaround (all I can say is good luck, they're gonna need it) at least.
In fairness to past you, I don't think anyone was doing what Pika was doing when you started. It was either screenshot runs, written runs, or full on comics.
Though you might have severely underestimated how long this game would take to finish.
Chapter Comments:
SpoilerSuch a nice trainer you are getting Tsareena a tablet. I'm sure she'll download nothing bad. . . hopefully.
Anabel having rift matter is probably the least contrived thing to happen in this section of the game, just gotta roll with it.
All these rift mons, thinking about that Rift Chandelure that you fought. Starting to think there are just like dozens of these monsters lying around Aevium that you have to clean up. Be one hell of a postgame sidequest, if you did that kind of a thing for the nuzlocke.
The Team Xen Rocket gag was hilarious, I'm honestly shocked no one in game has parodied the motto. Probably one of the Bladestar grunts or Team Anti Help or whatever the hell they're called.
QuoteMaybe I'm wasting my time doing this Nuzlocke...
Honestly, if you have fun with it keep doing it. Though I'm honestly not sure how to translate all this into making money in any kind of way. Unless you wanna like write novels or something.
With the secret base, you'd think there'd be some kind of security. A grunt or two on lookout at least. Maybe Flora just forgot or figured the Rift mon could fend for itself.
Anabel chickening out of riding the conveyor belt all the way made me snort. Though I won't lie I can't really fault her. Like you said, who knows what kind of booby trap Flora could have rigged. Why we'd need someone immortal just to be sure!
I'm sure it'll be a nice friendly super Audino with thousands of Rare Candies at the end. Ain't Flora just the nicest?

Wow okay, I was wondering what happened when the whole subforum dissappeared off the face of the earth. Friggin Nintendo copyright sucks. Also dang didn't manage to reply in time. Just gonna comment on this chapter.
SpoilerOn 4/27/2022 at 1:10 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I suddenly have the strongest urge to change my username to Complimentary Trainer for a chapter and being so incredibly friendly to everyone.
Strangers will be confused and anyone with any kind of familiarity will be terrified and/or suspicious. You should do it for a chapter where Melia/Venam/Ren/whoever does something particularly dumb.
On 4/27/2022 at 1:10 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yes but she had a fucking SWORD while also being 100% superhuman. What did we have up there?
Neither Aelita or myself have come close to matching her feats. So to actually push her back made her look pathetic.
It'd be classic anime if we did settle it with a fist fight. Like the end of Gurren Lagann.
Your sharp tongue and Razor wit obviously.
Based on everything that happens with Clear and whats his name, I have sinking suspicion it was a "I was holding back and stalling for time" type thing from Madame X. Which would suck more, but fits with the rest of the story for better or worse.
On 4/27/2022 at 1:10 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Long wait then.
And we'll be here waiting like always.
On 4/27/2022 at 1:10 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeah it's fucking annoying. I did a Nuzlocke of Radical Red and the first chance I saw to turn EVS off I took. They add nothing to the game.
Gotta inflate the difficulty somehow. Nothing like needed to KO a mon and having it survive by the slimmest amount of HP. Just fun.
On 4/27/2022 at 1:10 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Phew.
The order from worst to best for LoZ fairy friends goes Tatl - Navi - Ciela. Only because I really liked Phantom Hourglass.
Only Zelda game I've ever played it Twilight Princess and even then that was loaned from a friend, so I really only know of annoyance with Navi through memes and all that. I've heard the handheld ones are pretty fun.
On 4/27/2022 at 1:10 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:That started out as a touching message but the next sentence made it bad. Forshame.
Hahaha what if she's from that Pokestar movie future where the Bug types somehow took over? That setting had Human balls.
The internet has thoroughly corrupted me at this point, it's too late for concepts such as shame.
Her grandma is a really really smart Bug-type trying to fix the mistakes of her race. Or she's Zubat which is why Ana doesn't have eyes.
On 4/27/2022 at 1:10 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Luckily I and my Pokemon will be safe inside this weird little apartment floating in empty space.
Good luck sharing an enclosed space with Chiller for a long time, I'm sure that'll end well.
On 4/27/2022 at 1:10 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:GOD no. Ana does not need to be introduced to fucking Interpol. The quest itself is already highly suspicious as is. I don't want Looker and Anabel's bosses finding out about the Nano Drive on top of Rift Pokemon.
You mean you don't trust the government agents that popped up out of nowhere to capture these dangerous mutated Pokemon?
But seriously imagine if Team Xen was being funded by some shadowy government agency from another region altogether, some kind of weird fusion between Pokemon and Tom Clancy.
On 4/27/2022 at 1:10 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:It'd be Caesar. 100%
Rose is mostly fine with whatever I do, just like I am with whatever she does.
Rose could randomly kill a guy and you'd go "Great Job Sweetie, I'm sure he sucked!"
On 4/27/2022 at 1:10 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Does it still? Last I saw of it was in like...2002? We don't actually have that channel here unless you pay for Sky (which I think is the American equivalent of cable?)
Sadly. It's still limping along with literally nothing to do with music anymore. It's all crappy Reality TV shows.
On 4/27/2022 at 1:10 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Thanks. I mostly only use it to edit text but I've got the basics of it down. God those Secret Bases sucked in comparison. So little variety. I can only drink Rosè myself. Don't like the other two much at all.
Yeah you could only do them at these very select spots in the overworld. A bit more freedom about location would have gone a long way, plus not needed a particular move to make them would have helped.
I really only drink wine for new years and first sundays at church (blood of Christ and all that).
On 4/27/2022 at 1:10 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:If only laughing was all they did. Past Sean once left a bomb under my bed (and somehow forgot that I'd remember how to disarm it immediately) It depends on the chapter most of the time. Some were written in 2020 some in 2019 & late 2018. That's why some jokes or realisations get repeated since I wrote everything out of order most of the time.
If it makes you feel any better, the writing still flows pretty well. I didn't notice any more problems or differences, at least.
On 4/27/2022 at 1:10 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Haha no, my cooking's pretty okay. I was more making fun of their being no sink sprite without the cooker attached.
Classic Japanese infrastructure right there. It also explains why the parents of the Japanese regions don't have their own beds. They use those futon things and sleep in the main room.
Naw its all good, I don't even think I've seen a bathroom in the original sprite Pokemon games actually.
Parents sleeping on the floor while their kids get beds, being a pokeparent is hard.
On 4/27/2022 at 1:10 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Especially in a Nuzlocke. I've never gotten to do a Pokemon Tower bit that you see in so many of them yet.
Honestly, if Madame X's identity never gets revealed or is someone mostly unimportant, I'm making it so that Adrian was her all along.
None. I just typed "Sexy Professor Oak" and picked one out. Felt the joke would be better if it was a pinup image, y'know?
To be fair, Aevium and Reborn don't really have a Pokemon Tower equivalent, though there is the big old graveyard in Goldenleaf. That might mean being around Narcissa more, but sacrifices must be made.
Adrian is doing all this for a rematch with you, no matter how many bodies she leaves in her wake.
Chapter Comments:
SpoilerWell the side stuff is coming to an end, you can't run from the plot for much longer. Least Caesar will have more materially for his secret documents.
Hey look it's Anabel. I always thought it was a little weird they chose this random frontier Brain to get flung into an alternate dimension. It's a unique choice, though. I definitely give Gamefreak that.
Fun fact, according to Ultra Sun/Moon, there's apparently a Pokemon Multiverse. At this point I'm awaiting a Professor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness movie.
Yeah the Crawli stuff is wild. He's apparently some hybrid of Daredevil and Bran from Game of Thrones power wise. Which makes his more or less uselessness all the more glaring.
The Kakori success story is just salt in the wound. I'm sure Crawli is laughing at you through the broken nose and concussion. Least you got a Safari Zone for new captures, so that's something right?
Only reason I can reckon Looker and co aren't screaming to the heavens about Team Xen is that they're still gathering evidence for slam dunk to nail down Cassandra and her cronies. Probably won't actually act until you put down Team Xen for good and just arrest the survivors. You know how these plots go.
I imagine the Team Xen Admins are mean to Zetta and just use his tears for rift matter. It'd be funny at least.
Also my best guess for how he's actually in the dream world is that he's in Crescent's Team and he's dreaming along with her. Kinda like how Death Incarnate (Death Itself? Whatever the Shuckle's name is), was conscious in your battle with the Puppet Master.
I'm still half hoping there's an option to get Zetta-losis, since far as I can tell there's no option to get the Solosis line yet in Rejuvenation. I just want to weird Melia out by sending her brother/clone into battle against her.
QuoteGod, why is this run even popular?
We laugh at your suffering. Plus you're the only game in town for a nuzlocke of this game, let alone any of the other fangames besides Pikafan. Everyone else either failed, ended prematurely (RIP the Reborn Penta-Op), or was sane enough to stay away!

SpoilerOn 4/13/2022 at 3:06 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:
Don't let the masses know. They have to think I'm sincere in my hatred.
Which I suppose I am. There's no section of the game I hate but there are small little parts I dislike with the fury of a thousand lightbulbs.
I understand, gotta maintain that Derogatory brand after all.
On 4/13/2022 at 3:06 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Like she would even be able to.
She went down several threat levels after Aelita and I were somehow able to fend her off atop Eclypsia Pyramid while we were both unarmed and unsupersuited. I could probably kick her ass now.
To be kinda fair, Aelita is probably some kind of superhuman or at least as close as your going to get at this point. Kinda too bad you can't settle this whole thing with a fist fight, but sadly this is a Pokemon game. . . sometimes.
On 4/13/2022 at 3:06 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Really? Huh. I thought it was going to be everyone in GDC due to the dome replacing the injection plot-point.
Dunno really, that was just me spitballing ideas. Probably won't see until like Version 14 or something like that.
On 4/13/2022 at 3:06 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:True. But I'm thinking of switching it back to Dragon Dance at some point.
Feel like she gets outsped a lot in later chapters what with all those EV trained Pokemon.
Fangames are a bitch like that with EV's. Gotta assume everyone mon you fight is like at the peak of performance stat wise, other wise you get clobbered.
On 4/13/2022 at 3:06 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I never got the Navi hate. I always thought she was helpful with her screaming.
...
I'm going to assume that jar thing was a follow-up to the Zelda reference and not anything worse.
Totally a Zelda follow up. Navi ain't that bad, the old annoying Navi meme was just the first thing that came to mind.
On 4/13/2022 at 3:06 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Noooo it's just like Professor Laveton said. Pokemon can shrink at will and since Pokeworld humans and Pokemon share the same common ancestors they can shrink down as well! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
We all the same deep down, pokemon and human. Which makes certain fanfic writers very happy.
Maybe whoever made Ana invents a Human ball. Surely that won't have terrible consequences at all!
On 4/13/2022 at 3:06 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Guess I might as well just stop for good then. It's been a fun ride but this MTV Cribs episode will be the last chapter.
Sorry Aevium looks like your fate is up to Melia, you guys had a good run I guess.
On 4/13/2022 at 3:06 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Very true. I even hear there's a cooking competition in it at some point.
Time to ruin that breather with the Interpol quest straight after and the biggest slog of a battle I've ever been in.
Take Ana with you so she share in the experience? I'm that'll go down well with Dylan
On 4/13/2022 at 3:06 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I'm thinking that might be the case too...but I'm very worried what might happen to her if she is. Usually with big, grand saving things like that, there's some kind of price to pay...which credit to Jan, actually makes me worried.
Wouldn't be surprised if Ana goes out like the Iron Giant at the end of his movie. Instead of Superman, she says Sean.
On 4/13/2022 at 3:06 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:And if not, I don't really care all that much.
Caesar and/or Rose will nag you until you at least pretend to care eventually, no worries.

He's tickled pink.
Chapter comments:
SpoilerFirst off curse you for making me remember MTV cribs existed. . . and that MTV exists.
Next, this is honestly a pretty cool way to use RPG maker on the game. Like those old Secret Bases from Generation 3, but cooler. With bad beer (prefer wine myself), ancient electronics, and questionable room setup, you've got it all!
Well to all the Seans in the timeline, it's at least to be able to laugh at yourself a little? Best I can say to all the notes. I do keep forgetting most of this stuff was written back in 2019. You've been at this awhile.
Audino is pretty darn cute, but outside that and all the XP, poor thing doesn't have much going for it.
Also that stove in the bathroom makes me think you have a poor opinion of your cooking, don't worry you'll get better. Or just get used to the food poisoning since you come back after awhile.
And a trip down memory lane isn't complete with a lookback at all that was lost. I kinda wish Jan kept Adrian, be nice to have a Rival disconnected from all the plot just trying to collect badges.
I gotta ask how much. . . stuff did you have to wade through to find that picture of Oak?
I get the distinct feeling that this was supposed to be posted on a April Fools Day, just a hunch.

Because from what I can guess, the population above ground will be rescued by the underworlders by bringing them into their home and then there'll be some stupid life lesson about treating people right or some other moral hogwash involved.
I'm actually expecting the opposite, like the Underground gets leveled first, and the people up top mourn the fallen and regret treating them badly. It's a pretty obvious target if I was Cassandra.
On 3/27/2022 at 1:01 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I want at least ONE though!
How am I going to be a Pokemon Master if they're all calling me "Sean, meatbag, ape-face or 'Hey you'"???
More Dad than brother, I'd say. I fawn on her too much to be a big brother. Caesar is more of her big brother if we think like that. Zira is her big sister and Chiller is the uncle I don't let her be alone with.
Hey all the verbal abuse builds character! Least your not like Ash where half his mons bit him, set him on fire, or electrocuted him on a semi regular basis.
I wouldn't leave Chiller alone with anyone you actually like. That's a homicide in the making.
On 3/27/2022 at 1:01 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:The moral wrongness is actually the most important part for me, oddly enough.
Besides, most of my main Pokemon have decent enough natures. Rose's Jolly is probably the best she could have.
That extra speed can make all the difference, Rose's got Swords Dance if she ever needs to hit harder.
On 3/27/2022 at 1:01 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:No the void is in the closet. The FRONT door to my room is an endless wall of flesh.

Nah. WW3 will never happen since nobody would profit from it at all.
I'm sure.
Only the Grim Reaper would profit, maybe he makes commission?
On 3/27/2022 at 1:01 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I'd tolerate it more if it was Melia divided by 3.
Like we all got our own little pocket-sized version. That'd be better.
That just sounds like a Navi situation waiting to happen. Least you could stuff in jar if she gets too annoying.

Chapter comments:
SpoilerTrue you maimed everyone in the building but then Ana wouldn't have been able to show her stuff. How she got you inside of the drive, god only knows. . . does that make you walking data like Porygon now?
That joke with the glasses on the glass is probably the best joke you'll make, it's all down hill from here.
Thus begins the tale of Ana and her two dads, one of the more fun side quests in this game. No major battles, just fun character stuff. A much needed breather for you honestly.
Clearly the secret to beating you is throwing an endless array of cute Robot girls at you, Xen must never learn of this dark magic. Or maybe the concussion is having an impact like Caesar, adding on to all the other brain damage.
Ana walking around with googly eyes looks hilarious, actually sounds like something the actual game would go for as a joke.
Your guess is as good as mine about Ana's origins. Maybe she's a part of a alternate, alternate version of the Bad Future Arc? I'd almost be willing to bet money that Ana is the key to saving GDC if you complete her side quest when Xenpurgis happens.
Oh yeah the missing children, well those kids better get comfortable might be awhile. I'm sure their fine, probably.
More friends for you can't hurt at this point. Your only other real friend at this point is Aelita and she's having an identity crisis to put it mildly.
Poor No-name, I'm sure he's just heartbroken with all the filler. He'll survive I'm sure.

Only thing I remember about that movie is Angeline Jolie with an eyepatch and that's about it.
SpoilerThe Underground. Full of the poor, the forgotten, and plenty of whiners/posers. At least Dylan is decent enough to be around so far.
This place is likely gonna burn when the big Team Xen plan goes into effect, hell it's a death trap already apparently.
It's be boring if your team was all "Yes Master", "Right Away Master", etc. Also you are more or less Rose's dad or big brother at the very least. Let alone all the other mons you hatched.
The whole Nature changing thing would be viable if you had any kind of control over it. Imagine going in and getting a worse nature for your mon. Also you know moral wrongness and all that.
I always just assumed there was an empty void behind that door to your room. Maybe you can leave when you finish the run in about 20 years, assuming we haven't gone into WW3 by then.
Melia Cubed sounds like your nightmare and Venam's dream come true. Sad part is that it is kinda possible all things considered.
You and Rose sitting awkwardly in the dark sums up this adventure more or less.

Oh jeeze that's a quick turnaround, I honestly wasn't expecting you to post like for another week.
SpoilerOn 2/18/2022 at 10:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:At least you didn't bring up the tailbone cracking. That was not a good year for me.
Must be from how often this game kicks your butt.
On 2/18/2022 at 10:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Or the fucking AGE RESTRICTIONS.
Those are the worst. Like I'm not going to fucking give you my ID, Youtube.
Youtube is going to hell in a handbasket, and it is all self inflicted. It's morbidly impressive.
On 2/18/2022 at 10:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:They should have incorporated Pokken into an actual game instead of some bullshit arena fighter.
Like even if they just did a single region like Unova but with fighting game mechanics it could have been good.
They kinda did, but the Ferrum region is essentially just a background for all they did with it.
On 2/18/2022 at 10:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:We HAD taken Isha without her and Ren butting in. Giratina was beaten away like a whipped dog once more and all his Pokemon were unconscious. It literally should have been as simple as walking up and punching him and his nurses in the face. But no. Can't have even that, can we?
Mine is just keeping the characters and Pokemon I like to the Hall of Champions so we'll finally be free of this Nuzlocke curse.
Huey did punch him in the face like 20 times, but apparently did no damage. Either Isha is a Ghost type or Huey is REALLY wimpy.
On 2/18/2022 at 10:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Honestly, I think MELIA'S the clone in all of this.
At the end of the Pyramid arc, she's the only one weakened by the whole magic god child thing and even her shiny from seems a bit distorted.
Okay real shit spoiler for V13:
SpoilerMelia's god powers are apparently killing her. Something about her body rejecting them or something like that.
On 2/18/2022 at 10:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:t does.
Like why is it a choice at all? Just knock the child out?
Who cares about the boat? The timeline's going to be erased anyway, right?
Or it SHOULD have been. I don't understand why our timeline was wiped out when we changed things but the Dark one wasn't.
Multiverse theory maybe? Even then I don't think that would account for what your talking about.
On 2/18/2022 at 10:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:The game doesn't compliment me full stop. Closest I got was Risa Raider calling me the Xen Destroyer. None of my so-called friends have said a word about how great I am at all.
I think V13 is a bit better in acknowledging the player. Not as much as you want, but hey beggars can't be choosers.
On 2/18/2022 at 10:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I could have power-leveled Nancy Jr. to deal with the Sylveon is the only other choice I could have possibly made but I didn't want to risk a future Mega Mawhile.
Knowing this game, Sylveon would probably have been running Hidden Power Fire and Ground.
On 2/18/2022 at 10:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Honestly, yeah. People underestimate it because it's slow with low HP but it's got really high Sp.Def on top of the Attack.
I think if they were equal he still wouldn't have stood a chance. Seaking are a really bad Pokemon outside of that one Lightning Rod ability.
Flareon's real achilles heel is that speed. It's about as fast as Umbreon but nowhere near as tanky. Didn't help poor Flounder. He probably could have killed it if you got an opening.
On 2/18/2022 at 10:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeah my mind kind of blanked and forgot about Grass and Ground types. Was only thinking about how it affected Rose.
She's my favourite but goddamn does she give me the most heart attacks by far.
Least it wasn't a crit, which sums up Nuzlocking in general.
On 2/18/2022 at 10:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I'm smacking myself for not teaching Rose Poison Jab for this fight. I went in determined not to let her anywhere near that Sylveon but if I had she could have swapped in after Killotine and killed it in one blow.
I even did the calculations. She would have outsped it and caved it's face in no sweat.
You say that now, but would you have taken that risk in the moment?
On 2/18/2022 at 10:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I haven't decided yet for Part 5 but I'm leaning towards Vaporeon myself due to the strategy Z mentioned above.
But I have a decent amount of Water Types still left and a few Water routes still free. So I'm not sure.
I honestly say go for Vaporeon, you seem to have about as bad luck with Water Types as Fighting, plus Vaporeon is kinda tanky so that helps.
On 2/18/2022 at 10:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:They really should have. There was no logical reason not to.
Instead we got Gigantimax Eevee, which is step down to say the least. I was hoping for a Dragon Type Eevee, they'd already done all the other "Special" types (Electric, Fire, Fairy, Ice, etc) so why not.
On 2/18/2022 at 10:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:This is basically Dylan, Ana and I
You know I thought Beyblade at first too but it's more of a Yo-Yo that turns into a Ferris wheel if you ask me.

Well that's good.

Yeah that sounds about right, I'm sure that form change mid battle with fun.
Chapter replies:
SpoilerThe best way to improve your mood, meeting a girl that tried to lynch a smaller girl! It's kinda hard to make a comeback from that reputation wise, puts her below most of the Team Xen admins really.
That'll be a fun conversation when you run into Narcissa again in god knows how many chapters. Sad how her being time displaced by a younger version of herself isn't doesn't even break the top 10 of wierd shit in this region
You joke about that Moon base idea, but it wouldn't be out the most out there idea for Team Xen. They've already got a secret island base and a secret volcano base. Gotta all those cliche spy movie ideas.
In defense of Tierno, Corphish can actually learn Dragon Dance as a egg move I think.
Once again time to do the job of the police around here. They're either incompetent or in Cassandra's pocket, so you are quite literally the only chance those kids have.
Fortunately you're a big old softy at heart according to Rose. Who has no bias whatsoever
Dylan is surprisingly chill, shame you're gonna have to have a Pokemon Custody battle for him.
The whole bit with the wrong password got a good laugh out of me. Rejuvenation's writing can be hilarious (in a good way) at times and I honestly think the game is at its best like this.
I gotta ask how long it took to create those fake twitter posts, thought the whole Reinhart twitter would be a one off.
I'm sure Mike is trembling in his boots, right now as he searches Yahoo.

Who else still has their original save file from 2016?
Also yeah, fuck that noise. Like I can see the appeal but it's not something I can even do anyways.
True, I doubt most of the people playing the game now had touched it before say Version 9. That probably makes you some kind of grizzled Rejuv veteran in comparison.
On 2/14/2022 at 4:57 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Can we talk about how YouTube put those fucking 2/2 ads on videos now? So fucking annoying.
It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't unskippable half the time. Unskippable ads on YouTube are a crime against humanity and whoever had the idea should be ashamed of themselves.
On 2/14/2022 at 4:57 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Very true. Though I'm of the belief that this should have been done ten years ago myself.
Like it would have been possible. It's not even an open world game. It's Monster Hunter.
I'd have taken a version of this game on the Wii U over Pokken any day of the week.
On 2/14/2022 at 4:57 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:No worries, it's one of my least favourites in that too. Venam suddenly appearing in Isha's lab at the end is another.
LIKE FUCK JAN, HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO BEAT THAT SAME DEAD HORSE!?!?
Yeah, even an asshole player would have no love for Clear and Kieran at all. Why the fuck would you want to join them at all?
I feel like we could have taken Isha without that, like after Madame X and the damn Wonder Twins, this guy is a joke.
I got nothing for motivation beyond morbid curiosity.
On 2/14/2022 at 4:57 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:PFFFFFTTTTAHAHAHAHA.
I can just see the Goomy of the Goomy Kingdom playing drums on the skulls of Xen Grunts with this music playing now.
Yeah that sounds about right. I'm awaiting a scene near the end of the game where Xen had you and the rest of the bunch on the ropes, but then everyone you've ever helped in a side quest arrives like the cavalry to turn the tide.
On 2/14/2022 at 4:57 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Eh. It's not that deep. I'm fully aware I'd be bored if I couldn't watch these idiots flail around the region.
Plus they make me look good by comparison even with all the constant cutscene bullshit they pull.
On 2/14/2022 at 4:57 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I suppose so. Don't know where the fuckers are getting food from if that's the case.
Also that's was one of the stupidest things I ever heard from this game. The little 6 year old flew ALL AROUND the world destroying land on the back of her Yveltal? Fuck off, that'd take hundreds of years even with Yveltal.
Cannablism after a certain point is my guess.
She's a Melia clone, unfortunately. That kinda bullshit is right up her alley.
On 2/14/2022 at 4:57 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Ah but complaining during cutscenes is where I shine most of the time.

The Time stone choice is likely going to give a stroke, I can already tell.

It gets worse from here. Have fun!
On 2/14/2022 at 4:57 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:OH IT IS.
But in all honesty, a lot of the blame is on me for not seeing how much of a level gap there would be.
How COULD I have been so blind in this blind Nuzlocke?!
To be fair, I feel like it wasn't THAT foreshadowed. You'd be forgiven if it was just the fact that it was gauntlet at the same level you are now or slightly higher. Even 75-77 would have been a little more manageable.
On 2/14/2022 at 4:57 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Yeahhh...Water Compaction REALLY should have boosted Special Defense instead. Or even better, it raises that stat that would matter when the water move hits. Like Defense for Physical and Sp.Def for Special.
That's actually a cool idea, Sean get yourself hired by Gamefreak ASAP. You couldn't come up with anything dumber than what they have now at least.
On 2/14/2022 at 4:57 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Apparently, I could have just waited until I fell asleep and woke back up outside.
Not sure how trustworthy that info is though.
Waiting until the mushroom spores knock you out doesn't sound very safe. Sounds like a good way to pick up cancer. Wonder if that immortality works on something that kills you slowly?
On 2/14/2022 at 4:57 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:WHY DOES MY FAVOURITE TYPE DIE SO MUCH!?! It's just Carnage and Clementine the Scraggy left now.
I managed to annoy myself with it somehow but gee, thanks for the back-handed compliment, chief.
Rejuvenation hates you honestly. You should be used to getting backhanded, the game does it too you on a regular basis!
SpoilerWell here we are, Sean against the Geisha Gauntlet. If it makes you feel any better, this is probably the best team you could have made for this fight far as I can tell.
I was surprised that Flareon was the first to claim a kill, but people forget that thing's Attack stat is sky high. Plus the level difference meant that poor Flounder never really stood a chance.
Wasn't shocked to see Espeon and Slyveon kill mons. Poor Gladius never stood a chance (I won't lie I kinda winced seeing the poor bug just explode), at least Killotine probably died so fast it never realized what happened.
Jolteon running HP Ice is like bog standard for the mon, thank god for Rose's attack stat. Probably scared the hell out of you when you saw the HP bar go down to the red.
Hakon's death hurt, like maybe Reinhart would have survived that crit. But if he didn't, the run was over more or less. Yet it continues for whatever it's worth. I'm gonna miss that big guy.
An Eevee and a Department sticker wasn't worth the bloodshed. I wonder what evo you chose for it. I'm kinda hoping Vaporeon because you got through Water like a dehydrated man, but we'll see.
Full Restores would be a godsend at this point in the game. Maybe you should just give yourself like 50 of those for your next 100 chapter reward honestly.
I was kinda hoping Gamefreak would give us a Eevee evolution for Gen 8 since they've been pretty consistent about giving us one every even numbered generation since Gen 2. But alas.
Well I guess its time for you to have joint custody over a robot girl and then fight a flaming beyblade, sounds like another day in Aevium to me! Least it doesn't sound like you lose anyone, so hey there's that!

Nah, I don't have any magical powers outside of my sucky immortality and the Photoshop jokes. I can only use the last spell Souta used it for. Which was to look at Cella one last time...
How's that for some soap opera shit, eh?
Well at least he went in (relative) glory, rather than getting sucker punched by BS like most of your deaths in this game.
Honestly this whole game is a Soap Opera with Pokemon sprinkled in.

Also that there was no Captain Sean wandering the Crimson Seas. I may have to add that in.
It'd probably be Reborn Sean though. That guy's like a cockroach and he's not even immortal.
Look it's either this or have even more characters to keep up with. Lesser of two evils and all that.
Wouldn't be much to wander, since the Apocalypse seemed to have destroyed most of the world beyond a few spots.

Chapter Comments:
SpoilerLooking back on yourg mistakes and screaming at yourself is the fun part of growing up, hahaha. . . ugh. . .
I imagine you were wishing you had taken these geisha's in dead by the end of this sidequest. I've seen a few videos of the battles, that looks dire.
Pallosand is a really good Ground Type, the ability she has is really clever. Provided she doesn't just get one shotted by a water move.
Getting softlocked into a game like this is never fun, at least you managed to
cheatfind your way out in the end.Well there's goes yet ANOTHER fighting type. Ironfist, Coffee, Bluster, Fingers. . . just Carnage left right? Poor Lobo's stunt double, he will be missed kinda. Honestly though, that was a really clever way to handle that death. You do have your moments.
Glad you had some fun this chapter because it's apparently Massacre o'clock next time.

Saki still has parents to my knowledge, Venam has hers and...that's about it.

True, also this is a lady that threw Venam out of a two story house window for playing her music too loudly so I can't feel TOO bad for her.
Onto the Chapter:SpoilerAelita is being SUPER harsh, but since she's being so to Melia its hilarious. Also poor Kanon for this and all the other shit that happens later. Literally born a slave.
And damn Caesar with the deep cut. If Aelita starts wearing glasses and going off on semi-insane tangents/rants, she should be quarenteened immediately.
Also is it really Chronic Hero Syndrome if your forced into it half the time?
I forgot you went out of your way to make a Patraeon account. I'm just waiting on the day some psycho donates to Level 4, leaving all parties baffled.
Bad Future Arc here we go, but not yet. Oh yeah Erin really doesn't need to be here, Melia too if your gonna be honest. She actually made things worse, we can only dream of a Aelita and Sean team Back to the Future Style in an alternate time line.
One can only imagine what is going through Souta's head when you run off before touching the time crystal.
I do believe it's time for another round of side quests, oh boy! Though from what you've already said, it might have been safer to jump into the Bad Future Arc right away.

She can easily take care of herself but she's not nigh-unbeatable like me.
Shoot just send one of those mons that's stuck in the box most of the time like Itemfinder. Rename her "AelitaTracker" and your golden.
Chapter 125 Comments.
SpoilerBack to the hospital. Man being in them always makes me a little nervous. Being in this one would just terrify me knowing whats going on behind the scenes.
I'd like to think containment room was for mons with Pokerus, but god knows what that would do to a human.
Who knows it may give you actual superpowers if your lucky?
Mosely's story is just really sad when you think about it, like Maman's dying, her parents are a bag of dicks, least she's got you. . . god help her.
Damien is back with his edgy Latios, and with a kinda stupid decoy plan. I'm willing to bet money there's gonna be a point in V13.5 or beyond involving Nim and you have to choose to side with or against him. I know what I'd choose.
Also Amber is back with some more backstory. I just feel bad for her and Tesla knowing what happens in Where Love Lies. Shoot I think the only other notable character with both parents in this story is Maria and we saw how that went.
Tesla pulling strings is probably what got her to referee (or is it commentate on) the tournament is my best guess about how she gets involved.
You know if this was any other game, that bit near the end with Amber could be seen as ship teasing. But there's no romance, which is probably for the best. It's all Jan and co. can do to juggle the main plot, characters, and sidequests what not.
Taunting a mother about her more or less dead child, there's the Derogatory Trainer we know and love(?).

Well with a name like that, I'm sure were in for a wholesome time!
SpoilerOn 12/1/2021 at 11:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I think my own semi-serious suggestions were:
Haxorus Crest: Boost every stat to 999 and automatically win the battle.
Haxorus Crest 2: Damage Boost to attacks every time it gets past an opponents ability due to Mold Breaker...and then automatically win the battle.
I see no difference from the regular Rose here. Unless she runs into Fairy Types.
On 12/1/2021 at 11:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:THIS IS THE END, MY ONLY FRIEND, THE END.
Yeah, I've had a look at most of them. They just seem like novelisations more or less.
Haha, what really? Can you link that to me? I wanna see this pathetic shit.
And no, I'd never sink down to that level. I'm not THAT scummy.
It's on Kindle Unlimited, so I don't even think he's making that much money off of it. He's erased most of the original story off of FF.Net aside from the first three chapters.
On 12/1/2021 at 11:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I'll defend myself by saying that Jasmine is definitely not still a 15 year old girl in the Pokemon universe.
Think about it. Red is 21 in Ultra Sun and Moon so she'd be at least 25-26!
And if we were going by GAME release date she'd almost be 40!
We'll have to see if the audience forgives me. (They don't.)
Sadly this is the least illegal/awkward thing you've said/done to the people of Aevium Your future champion ladies and gents.
On 12/1/2021 at 11:04 AM, DerogatoryTrainer said:OH I SEE. Got your OWN special club, huh?
I think I'm too controversial and politically incorrect for any Pokemon communities myself.
I wish her all the best...unless she surpasses me. Then we must fight to the death.
More like several, I think I have a problem. I'm apart of WAY too many forums for my own good.
Compared to some actual cases and allegations of pedophilia in some communities, you don't come off so bad in comparison.
You could have a battle on Showdown with her team and yours, like you did for this run god knows how long ago. Could be cool.
The Fair looks like a pretty fun time, between the Air Balloons, the Wishiwashi (that was a fun little quest getting another Flounder, hopefully he has better luck), and the decent Move Tutor Moves (finally!). I've always loved the Elemental Punch moves, gives me nostalgia of using Alakazam in Pokemon Gold.
I kinda like the idea of all these Pokemon fangames taking place in the same universe, maybe we'll get a crossover with all of them? Crisis on Infinity Fangames or Pokemon: Infinity Games?
But seriously the side quest involving some visitors from Reborn looks pretty cool, even though it's awhile off for you.
Hey man you chose to go onto the internet with those hairstyles, too late for regrets now!
Yeah, you're right about this Aelita, she really is being a pain. Mind altering magic and teen angst are a terrible combination. Also hey Adam, just need Saki and we'll have the whole set.
At this point, maybe you should have a mon tail Aelita like a bodyguard. Or a Parole Officer.

Now what I'm about to say won't help my claim of not being a psycho but I searched my name in the Discord chat for the Nuzlocke Forums and you were right as to why new people don't comment.
There's just TOO fucking much of this run for (weak) people to catch up with. They give up before reaching the new stuff.
So congrats.
Yeah that sounds about right. I got lucky and picked this up when Part 1 had just ended.
On 11/23/2021 at 12:08 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:- Sean most definitely.
Before he softens up towards her like a LOSER. Future Sean sucks. Present Sean is where it's at!
Your getting soft in your old age Sean, that or you just built up a tolerance like for a toxin.
On 11/23/2021 at 12:08 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Haha a nice play on words there.
I'd want a Haxorus Mega Stone or something else equally useful in keeping Rose safe I think.
I do my best.
A Haxorus Crest maybe? Not sure what the effect would be though.
On 11/23/2021 at 12:08 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:'d rather wallow in doom and gloom about it myself.
Besides there's no real NEED for them to fix it if it's even possible.
I'm pretty much the only person taking advantage of the thing. Everyone else who broadcasts this game just puts it on Youtube.
And you never know. I might just die for good at the end of Part 3. I'm really starting to feel that I should be writing a book and actually have a small chance of making money instead of pumping hours and hours of my life into this run.
That's. . . . too true honestly. You're run is like the only major non video advertisement (is that the right word) of this game. I've seen a few fanfics, but most are like plain retellings of the game.
You could always change a few words and names around and make it your own story. Guy on FF.Net did that and got published (it was on Kindle but still). Still that would be a bit scummy.
On 11/23/2021 at 12:08 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:AND YET HERE WE ARE IN REBORN AGAIN.
I'm the exact same though. I'm not much of a forum community guy. I just drop my chapter update and run.
She gonna die.
I actually am a forum community guy, but just not this community.
She's got this. . . probably.

Take me to dinner first at least.

Ugghhh...why aren't we rich enough to laze around all day, Dex? Why has god conspired against us?
Least we have plenty of company in that regard. I dunno about you but I attended church all of twice during my 4 years at college, so that might have cost me points.

I don't even care if future old people go into poverty because they invested in Funko Pops. They deserve it.
Pretty much. Never discount the desire of people to buy old stuff. It's why all those old action figures sell for hundreds off tousands.
On 11/23/2021 at 12:08 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Polygamy, my man. It's legal for me because I'll kill anyone who disagrees!
And who knows? Maybe Karen ENJOYS watching if you get my *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge* drift.
I can unironically see Cursed Karen enjoying that. Aelita might be iffy tho.
On 11/23/2021 at 12:08 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I think I'm more Booster Gold than anyone else sadly.
But yeah, I enjoyed that cartoon. Even if Superman's a pushover in it.
I think there's still a second skin for the sprite I'm using right now but it...well it looks like he's wearing one of those helmets the special needs kids used to wear.
I mean Booster's still a hero for the most part.
Writers seem to have a hard time finding balance between that and Superman just steamrolling everything.
Helmet hair is a bitch.

Yeah there was some good character interaction during that scene. Can't complain about that.
I think Little Mercury's major problem is that they're getting all the info about Rejuvenation from the worst source possible.
Me.
Which would paint it in a very unflattering light.
Because I myself don't hate Rejuvenation. I'm having a great time with this game. But it's more fun to poke fun and complain about it than writing a 123 chapter Nuzlocke about how great something is.
Give it to Rose for the comedic potential of a large dragon running a theater.
What, you're clearly the most unbiased source about Rejuvenation, totally trustworthy.
I don't hate the game, I wouldn't follow it for years if I did, but some of the dumb shit the characters do in this game can make the whole experience EXTREMELY frustrating sometimes.
On 11/23/2021 at 12:08 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I was sooo pissed about that.
The Bad Future Arc just BARELY made up for Aelita's thing being reduced to some side-mission.
It's a bummer. Enjoy her company while you can is all I can say there.
On 11/23/2021 at 12:08 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I take full advantage of the tournament being televised.
By being as big of an ass as possible.
There's one part where I declare I'm going to fuck Jasmine in the ass to the guy who says Jasmine promised him a kiss if he wins and everyone freaks out because of it.
So it should be fun.
I swear I read that as saying you would fuck the guy in the ass at first and did a double take. THAT sure would probably violate some kind of term of agreement on the site.
On 11/23/2021 at 12:08 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I'll take breaks when needed don't worry. I just get drained the moment I post a new chapter for some reason.
Oh we passed Reborn about 80 chapters ago. It's probably longer than most Nuzlockes in general. Or it will be.
Probably just happy to have it all done. How I felt with most school assignments and other major tasks over the years.
Honestly you might have hit some kind of record with actively ongoing nuzlockes.
Chapter Comments:
SpoilerIs it bad that would have wanted to see what Aelita was like when she first woke up? Like from a safe distance obviously, but this feral pink haired girl terrorizing everyone sounds morbidly amusing.
You and Aelita's whole plotline could be summed up with this honestly.
Honestly probably the whole downside to knowing everything would be causing you to overthink everything. But at the same time, you guys end up going in blind to all this mystic nonsense, so damn near anything is an improvement. And Aelita ran off again, honestly need a tracker or a leash on that girl.
Also you abruptly stop posting forever, we'll have a suspect in mind based on that book.
Ah yes the famous Luigia, brother to the famous Mario-oh.
The Kimono girls. . . . little would Sean know that he would soon curse their name alongside the Bridge Conkeldurr and Madame X.
Well if that lady wasn't afraid to cross the street before, she surely is now. Sadly being hit by a truck doesn't even crack top 10 of "bad shit that has happened to Sean in this region". I'd say that the guys lucky he didn't get sued, but the law is borked in this region so that's probably a crapshoot.
Was banking on either Sex Toys or Drugs in the mail, so I was half right there. Least you got a Link Heart out of it, which is a item I think the mainline Pokemon games should introduce. That or scrap trade evolutions altogether.
Also that Isekai comment makes much more sense after that video. I really should try those games one of these days, I've heard good things.
Meanwhile at the hospital of hope, Madelis gets treated by her unfortunately not mortal injury. And we discover that the creepy Doctor is in fact creepy, a shocking discovery.
Aw Zira clearly using Tearful Look, and hey it worked so you can't say in wasn't effective.
And here comes Damien, who makes a lovely first impression. He kinda reminds me of Sapphira from Reborn personality wise. Definitely has the same "totally willing to kill these fuckers" vibe.
Unboxing videos. . . I don't get it either but hey there's an audience for everything I guess.
Oh that arm will heal don't be such a baby, you've had worse.

She wasn't as strong then though, right? Her team battle with Melia was rough but managable.
Thank god Intense mode is being killed off. Now I can say I play on the HARDEST difficulty with no guilt whatsoever!
I'd like to think it was crawling up the side like a spider most of the way then jumped the last bit.
Maybe she power grinded between then and the official gym battle, I'm making no attempt to figure out how much time passes there.
I have no strong feelings either way about Intense mode going away. I can see why some (psychotic) people might miss it, but eh.

Infinite Nuggets? No but seriously maybe a rare item that you could only "dream" of getting until later in the game.
On 11/14/2021 at 6:07 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:No. I did not. So it's still up in the air if Part 5 will actually ever happen.
I've just written an outline of what will happen and what might be funny to do during the training arc. Don't actually know what the plot is beyond that segment.
And yes, that was my thought exactly. There are SO many to do in Part 5 because I didn't do any in Part 4 aside from the Sashila Help Requests. Gonna be a good bit of general backtracking to see the newer areas too .
Well look at it this way, you're a ways off from even posting any stuff for Part 4, let alone Part 5. Probably years if we're being honest. That's enough time for Jan and Co. to fix things I think.
Honestly the amount of backtracking and questing you'd have to do at that point could probably fill a whole part.
On 11/14/2021 at 6:07 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Go for it man. It definitely is. Plus everyone likes comments on their run.
Hahaha gonna be fun to see how she does. Unlike I did, she knows what's coming and can prepare around it pretty well.
I honestly should, I rarely post on this site outside of this and the Rejuvenation fanworks thread. Pika, her plant dinosaur, and her army of rodents are gonna take Reborn by storm and I can't wait to see it.
On 11/14/2021 at 6:07 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Like if I were a Garufan wizard or whatever, I think the door prank would have been the funniest fucking thing ever. But that's because curing the magic curse coma was probably easier then.
Be funny if you had to go to Karen of all people to help Aelita, I'd love to see how that interaction would have gone down.

On 11/14/2021 at 6:07 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:I am the pinnacle of rule-keeping, thank you very much.
What annoyed me the most about the Bad Future is that the protagonists have access to a literal Pokemon making machine and they don't all just ride Lugia clones and instant KO the Princess and her edgy bird.
Such a missed opportunity.
But Lugia's a Psychic type and Yveltal is a Dark Type, it's just target practice for Melanie. That and the fact that now she can use 11 Pokemon in Intense Mode apparently. Which is a whole nother discussion entirely.

It'll be most relevant when it'll screw you over the most, mark my words.
On 11/14/2021 at 6:07 PM, DerogatoryTrainer said:Time to wake up and fight the Kimono Girls WAY TOO EARLY Mr Sean!
Oh yeah, that's something to . . . look forward too? Well you were about due to lose a bunch of mons in single sitting. Wouldn't be a Derogatory Trainer Nuzlocke without at least one massacre per part. . .
On to the Chapter!
SpoilerAw your joints rebelling against you is just the best part of getting older, remember it'll only get worse!
8/10 Pretty decent pun for this run.
The only reason I can gather is that people buy Funko pops is for like decades down the line where you can sell them on Future E-bay for ridiculous amounts as a sort of collector item. At least that's what one of my co-workers tells me she does. They're still butt ugly tho.
Yeah, you're only slightly over half way through the gym quest now!
You gotta handle that potentially messy and bloody divorce before Aelita. Remember Karen is watching, always.
Since you essentially live in the Rose theater for the next few updates, that just leaves Rhodea to deal with the twins, fingers crossed for that woman's sanity.
Aelita and Sean, the Wonder woman to your Batman? If you've ever seen the Justice League cartoons that is. And hey all you need is another lava bath, and you'll be extra clean. Maybe it'll give you another hat. The trainer sprites used to somewhat customizable before like V10 I think, kinda miss that.
Erin. . . well let's be honest condescending would describe about how half the people in the region have treated you at best. Erin isn't so bad in comparison.
God I was worried that Clauncher had killed Kunai for a second, I know Ninjask's defenses are non-existent but yikes. Well at least you get a Clawitzer to use like a BFG. Still doesn't fill the hole of Gustav.
I honestly forgot you had a Staraptor. I like her she's hilarious.
Well you're trainer card being you debit card makes about as much sense as anything else here. It's already your passport so why not.
I love the design for Route 9. The leaves, the layout, the branching paths, the music. It's great stuff. Some of these later routes are where Jan truly shines in this kinda stuff.
One more island to go, and the main Xen lair couldn't be more obviously villainous if they tried. Can't wait for Valor Mountain Part 2: This time with Deathwings and Madame X at the top.
Rose Theater is pretty, just like Rose so don't sue them too hard! I like the Eldest and Souta, their intereactions are great. Erin slowly loosing her shit was the funniest part of that little scene. As much as I love Aelita, she's the asshole in this sitch. Though a lot of this could have been avoided if they'd just told her like Little Mercury said (who seems to hate this region even more than you, which is impressive).
The whole Aelita cursed thing, it's interesting but I hate the fact it doesn't get followed up on for awhile due to the fact that Melia's stuff takes over ONCE AGAIN. Like the whole back to the future thing seems set up for Aelita, but Melia pokes her nose in and actually makes things worse. Least she acknowledges it tho which is something I guess.
Hey at least your in the tournament now, honestly it might be the most fun you'll have in this region. I'm honestly excited to see that.
Honestly if you took a breather every few chapters at this point, no one would really mind. Like this whole run is longer than probably every other Nuzlocke you've done time two easily.
That last bit sounds like the title of a bad isekai anime, which is essentially this Nuzlocke in a nutshell.

Yes, yes time for bed Grandpa Sean. You can talk about your stories another night.
Gah, I have no idea how I got that mixed up. I straight up forget Freiza had his own theme. I guess Chiller will be turning black at some point in this run?
Naturally. A happy Sean is a happy Aevium after all.
Who knows maybe they'll prove me wrong there. But who knows at this point.
Oh absolutely. The fact that they're so damn smug about it just makes it worse.
That something 9 times out of 10 being you. So essentially nothing has changed there!
Look man all those bug ladies aren't gonna woo themselves.
Also yeah, early game bug mons don't stand a chance at this point the game considering the crap being thrown your way.
Look if you guys fail, Aevium (and probably the rest of the world) is screwed anyways. So at least she's has a fighting chance with you.
Yeah, Generation 3 would have been the time to replace Ash. But that time is LONG past (god Ruby and Sapphire are gonna be 20 years old in a couple of weeks).
Oh that's damning with faint praise. .
Only thing I can say is be like Batman and have a on and off again relationship with her like Catwoman that eventually turns her to good?
I think the starter options are about the same as far as I can tell. I think that Aipom doesn't have Skill Link anymore so that's a good thing.
There is a pretty cool addition of note.
For important battles, the dialogue changes depending on how you win. Like if you use a single mon to sweep them, the trainer will complement that mon.
They use their Psychic powers to control their movements like puppets would be my guess.
It is, but we know she'll be fine in the end.
Venam is such an easy target. It kinda borders on bullying, I almost feel bad.
Almost.
Says the man who's typed several novels worth of words and taken albums worth of self photos.
Guess they were really focused on the Nintendo DS around that time. They really pushed the limit of what you could do graphic wise for Gen V. It was honestly great.
Well you can only do so much with collapsing society. Might as well paint. You can even use blood from someone you really dislike for red.
Oh I'm sure that'll be a sight to see. With both Melias in the background eating popcorn.
Ah city rivalries, nothing unites the world more.
I'll take that as a the complement I'm sure it was.
. . . What have I done to you to deserve such horrors?
I think so. Shoot I didn't even remember this was a thing until this run brought it up. I must have completely blocked it from my mind.
After the first 5 shots, I don't think it counts anymore!
For a second I'd almost thought you'd forgotten. Then I saw you press that button. . .
Well if you die from cringe you'll at least come back!
Yay. Now I too can lay in the floor and do nothing!
Skip over dialogue, in this game!?!
You blaspheme, Sean!
Look man those games were niche as hell. Half the people reading this run probably know it from memes at best.
Be wild if you ended catching another Xatu here. In V13, I think you can actually catch Pokemon in the castle in this timeline.
It's always fun seeing sprites can played around with like that.
Least it was quick?
Chapter Comments:
You thought right! If I wanted to see the unedited version, I'd just pop in a LP on YouTube. This is much funnier.
Ah there's the Super Saiyan Melia Edit I was looking for. Was not dissapointed at all.
Oh dear, it seems you've contracted a terminal case of "Tsundere". Nothing I can do, get you affairs in order.
Sorry Sean. We must sacrifice you to our near blond haired overlord. Also holy hell, Melia is basically a god at this point. Like no wonder Team Xen wanted her
In fact, I bet Madame X IS Jan in disguise! It all makes sense now. The game really is out ot get you!
Really sad this is just an edit. Your friends have remarkably muted reactions to finding out the MC has died multiple times.
Look its in her Big Bad Evil Boss work contract. If she doesn't do it, they dock her pay and remove her dental.
I'm sure this experience has taught Sean that vengeance is no the answHAHA yeah right.
Good thing this timeline totally gone for good. No chance of this being revisited later, no sir.
I'll play your little game:
Torterra: Used to own a pet turtle years ago, called him Robert. We kept him outside, and one day he was gone after a daytrip to my aunts. We assume something ate him, but I'd like to think he's running free in the river somewhere. I would have chosen Blastoise, but Torterra matches his color more. Plus I just like Torterra more.
Butterfree: Back in Elementary school, every year I'd catch a catapiller, put it into a jar with so leaves and watch in grow into a butterfly and release it. I started being known for it in school.
Greedent: Squirrels are everywhere where a I live. Have to do everything I can to keep them out of plants. Little bastards killed most of tulips. . .
Appletun: I just really love Apples and apple pie.
Typhlosion: This is just fond memories of Pokemon Gold, probably the game I played the most in 2001-2003. I always chose Typhlosion as my starter. I like Feraligatr more, but in Gen 2 it didn't have much going for it.
Cofragrigus: I volunteered in a lot of museums for high school and college. High School was especially fun, worked at a Army museum and talked with a lot of veterans. They had really cool stories.
