EmperorNova Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I just realized that Pokemon Desolation got an update, and the last time I played was on 4.1.1. I want to update my save file but I don't remember any of the story and was wondering if someone would give me a refresher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yumil Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 uhhhhhh let's see -You start off on a boat with two of your friends, named Ava and Scarlett. Ava is one of the gym leaders of the region and Scarlett's apparently and idol -Plan is to Cellia City enjoy some vacations -Plan goes south when a group called the black foxes bomb the boat and leaves you stranded on a nearby island, you have to team-up with Connor, local fire gym leader AND a bit of an asshole to find Ava and Scarlett -Ava and Scarlett have been taken captive by a tribe of people led by a guy named Kukui, everyone keeps singing his praises -As you explore the village Connor and you put together kukui is basically setting himself a little cult with the help of a drowzee's hypnosis -You also meet a strange guy named Shiv, seems to have some superpowers like teleportation, is interested in the protag for mysterious reasons -Confront kukui, Shiv ultimately takes care of him after his defeat -Downtime in Redcliffe Town with Ava, Scarlett, you get your first gym battle with Connor -Scarlett decides to pick up pokemon battling too, Connor manages to stop being an ass for a second and helps her get started with that -Meanwhile you and Ava start going to the next town, you meet another guy called Hardy on the way, sets himself up as your rival, has a zorua as his signature mon -You and Ava traverse a big volcano called Vejyr, confront another group named Team Crescent -Guy in charge, Baron, is trying to obtain an artifact for unclear purposes -Baron decides the best course of action to obtain it is to kill Ava, seemingly succeeds by shoving her in the lava, he retrieves the artifact -After they leave Another gym leader steps in, name's Aderyn -She reveals she managed to save Ava at the last moment with her Xatu teleporting her right before she fell in the lava. -Aderyn needs your help with a place near her town, celeste city, called weeping hill, paranormal phenomenons keep happening there -Going there, you meet Shiv again, who explains he's sort of the cause of the phenomenons and needs your help with something. -the reason stuff is happening here is because the place lets you see the memories of other people with a connection to this place, so bits of shiv's backstory pops up -Kukui was Shiv's little brother, looked up to Shiv too much and was desperate for his approval -Shiv accidentally pushed him away too far in an attempt to make him understand there was more to life than his approbation -Kukui went on to set up his little cult thing and Shiv didn't have the heart to stop him until you came along -Crescent is also there, they're trying to retrieve something in the cave at the bottom of the hill, apparrently -actual leader of team Crescent Shows up, name's Nova. More friendly than Baron, doesn't like Shiv -Eventually you retrieve the thing everyone was searching for the Onyx Stone. -Nova and team Crescent wants it because it's an artifact that would let a Darkrai reach a state beyond mega evolution called perfection form, would be able to plunge the entire world in a dream where everyone gets what they want -Shiv wants the stone so nova doesn't get it, cause he deems that a bad thing -Essentially Nova vs Shiv is Ideal VS Reality -The artifact baron got in Vejyr is part of that plan too, can summon a Moltres that should be able to take one to Darkrai's realm -You get to choose who you give the stone to, but nova ultimately gets it by stealing it from shiv if you give it to him -Nova really wants to convince you her cause is just, up to you to decide how much you trust her overall -Second gym fight, against Aderyn, then Ava and Scarlett catch up to you and you go to cloud platform to catch an improvised plane trip to Cellia as initially planned -turns out Crescent is already there for some reason -Shiv also shows up and goes after Nova as she leaves on a Moltres -Baron, who stayed on the cloud platform, reveals someone in the group actually agrees with Crescent's ideals -turns out it's Scarlett, presumably got convinced off-screen sometimes after your first badge. -Ava decides to flip Crescent the bird and dives off the platform -Baron shoves you off the platform in turn, seem a little ticked off by the fact Nova see something special in you -You end up at the top of the Silver Rise mountain on your own, meet another guy named Tristan -Turns out he's the normal gym leader, he seems to have some self-esteem issues, complains that everyone acts like he doesn't exist -He helps you descend Silver Rise, then leaves to take care of some business on the latter part -Crossing the silver forest you stumble across the manor Shiv lived in when he was younger, optionnal stuff to do there -As you exit the forest Shiv sorta contacts you to inform you he's managed to take the stone back but Nova's still chasing him, tells you to be careful, senses a strange shadow around you -You finally reach the outskirts of Acddenfall town, meet Hardy there, fights you for the second time, his Zorua evolved since last time -You meet up with Ava once you enter the town proper -Asks you if you think Scarlett made the right choice, you can decide how you feel about it, but Ava's firmly on the Reality side. -The black foxes show up again, they're causing trouble in Addanfall Woods, you go there to stop them -You confront their second in command there, Amelia, responsible for sinking the boat at the beginning of the game -After they get out of the place you have your match against Tristan for your third badge -Tristan keeps asking you what is your dream, doesn't seem to get a response from you. -Next place to go is blackview city, there's a chance to catch an actual boat to Cellia there -on the way to blackview more stuff happens with the black fox - turns out they're after a vengeance of some sorts, Amelia cements the fact she's an asshole by killing the local village elder for trying to oppose the foxes, and hardy turns out to have joined the foxes for unclear reasons -turns out Blackview is a pwoder keg about to blow up with the foxes and crescent fighting over control of the town, you, Ava and Connor try to stop this -First order of business is to find what happened to the local gym leader, Emily, she's went missing recently -Turns out she's been captured by a local gang called the Teal Panthers, they're a small gang funded by Crescent -Scarlett briefly shows up as the girl giving orders to the teal panthers -You free Emily, turns out she's connor sister, bullies him a bit -Total war breaks out shortly after that, Ava gets a rematch against Baron, Emily faces Amelia, Connor goes after Scarlett and tries to stop you from following him, because he's convinced it's up to him to "save" her -Connor gets his ass handed to him and Scarlett is about to jump from the top of a building because apparently that's a step required to make the dream world come true -Player vs Scarlett, depending of a couple of things you can manage to get her to stop that, leave crescent and rejoin the group, or she jumps off the roof and dies for good. -Gym battle against Emily after the whole mess is cleaned up -as the crew is about to leave towards Cellia the protag mentions Tristan wanting to go to cellia too so you drop by in Addenfall to see if he's there -Ava and connor examine the house and it becomes increasingly clear something's wrong - there's had been no normal type gym leader for years now, the house looks abandoned for years, and upon examining your trainer card, tristan's badge mysteriously isn't there -Protag faints shortly after and a voice starts getting meta about the story, stopping just short of calling things plot armor -You wake up in the boat leading to Cellia with Ava and Connor, who decided to just move on to cellia and not think too hard about what just happened -They depart shortly after to another place to take care of some business, leaving you on your own to explore Cellia -Here you meet : Aurora, shiv's Sister (weird because nothing in the kuiki section of the story mentionned one) who's busy casually murdering Black Foxes thugs and is seemingly after Nova, Rosetta, Cellia Central's gym leader, who needs your help to track down the black foxes base in cellia, and Garret, cellia South's gym leader, who has a personnal grudge against the foxes but seems content with just blasting them out whenever they show up around his turf -You end up tracking down Nova in a mansion in the town center, turns out she has finally managed to get the stone back and throw off shiv. she agrees to let you take the stone back if you can beat her again, but after beating her, Aurora shows up and forces Nova to run away -You end up getting the mansion for yourself since no one is using it and it was apparently bought under a false name anyway -Garret seems to have tracked down the base of the Foxes, in the undercity beneath Central Cellia -You investigate the place and end up fighting amelia for the second time -Next up you investigate the Cellia archives to try to understand what the fuck is going on with shiv and aurora -garret follows you there, explains that his grudge against the foxes is that they apparently kidnapped his younger sister years ago -We also get some details about the big boss of the Foxes at some points, Lilith -Basically Bruce Wayne if instead of becoming batman she had settled for funding a mafia with her money to catch whoever killed her parents -You get some more details about Aurora and Shiv's backstory -Basically, shiv caught a depression when he realized his superpowers kinda took the joy out of life -Aurora on her end was doing some reasearch in the hopes to find a way to make the powers go away, got laughed off at a scientific meeting, killed them all and decided to embrace the whole superpowered psycho angle -Nova showed up in their life at one point and managed to get shiv out of his depression -then she stabbed him in the back (literally) and tried to steal both of the twins powers, only partially worked for both -Turns out the whole kukui mess is actually shiv's fault, he messed around with addenfall town for a while in depression and unearthed the onyx stone/tried to use it's powers for shit and gigs -kukui migt very well just be a random kid who got fucked over by life big time who got brainwashed by shiv -Fight breaks out in the streets of cellia just as you're done exploring the archives -turns out Aurora has managed to Corner Nova and Shiv cannot stop her, begs you to save nova, because as far as he cares, even with her backstabbing him, he still cares about her enough to want to save her despite their opposition on the whole ideal/real conflict -depending of your choices you can managed to talk Aurora down, or she kills nova if you don't. -Either way you black out once again and wake up after the mess get cleaned up, time for a tournament that leads up to a fight with Rosetta for your fifth badge -Depending of whether or not scarlett is alive, she's your second to last opponent, if she's dead, hardy replaces her. For some reason, his Zoroark isn't in his team anymore. -After your victory with Rosetta and as you're about to go to bed, Garret informs you he's done some digging in the archives and found about a theory that states the twins are actually perfectly ordinary people who are lucid dreaming because the whole world is actually not reality but a dream -as the sentence ends you wake up in some dark woods with Aurora, telling you that you finally managed to escape the dream, meaning the whole game so far was apparently taking place in a dream and that's where E4 ends, if I'm not mistaken. That was proably a bit overdetailed but that should cover pretty much all the context you need for E5. Oh yeah, and there's some ranger stuff going on but that's entirely a sidequest thing. Hope this is clear enough! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorNova Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Oh lmao I stopped early, cause I think I just stopped once I got the mansion. Thank You so much for the recap, now I can backtrack for quests, finish 4.1.1, and then update to the current demo and play from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
