Challenge Pokemon Violet Monotype Run (Psychic)

2025011915133400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

What's wrong with this cave? Why is everyone so concerned about becoming an Elite Four member? Just ask Drayton nicely.

2025011915134900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Do you see a pattern in the way I start these battles? That's right, Linguine and Fettuccine seem like a safe pair to lead with.

2025011915135200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

How is Magnezone holding an Air Balloon, and how many balloons does it take to lift this magnetic UFO?

2025011915140100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Magnezone started the battle with a Protect. What if I'm just throwing hamburgers at your face? Are you protecting that too?

2025011915140700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Anyways, that give Fettuccine the perfect timing to put up a Light Screen. No UFOs can gleam through this.

2025011915141900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Expanding Force was supposed to expand on both our opponents in the Psychic Terrain, but Magnezone protected itself. So, we'll be targeting the meteor rock.

2025011915142200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hey, you can't copy my homework! I suppose you made some changes, 'cause you put on a different screen than mine.

2025011915143000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Minior cracked its shell open, and it revealed its blue core! Which mean, *check notes*, it primarily eats blueberries, grapes and Wailmer.

2025011915150000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915150100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh crud! Minior turned so vioent after it shed its shell. That Stone Edge critical hit was unnecessary, so no thank you.

2025011915151000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You know what, I think Magnezone did a great job protecting itself last turn, and I want to see more of those.

2025011915151600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hey, what's the point of protecting yourself after everyone else has moved? Hehehe.

2025011915153800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Magnezone protected itself again, but it isn't going to be very effective when I already saw it coming.

2025011915154400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915154800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

If Minior comes from out of space, then it would love getting mashed by some meteor, right? An out-of-world attack, I'd say.

2025011915160500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, come on. Didn't I fight a Golurk just a while ago? Why are these things everywhere? This place is definitely haunted.

2025011915162300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Fettuccine tried to Play Rough with Golurk, but that was probably not a good idea to mess with a giant ghost.

2025011915162700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rustiche's Meteor Mash also didn't quite knock out Golurk. I guess Golurk didn't come from space.

2025011915163000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

How is Golurk able to punch Rustiche with fire? It is made of cold clay!

2025011915164200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915164600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Play Rough and Meteor Mash didn't do the job last time? Just try them out again, and boom, Golurk is done for.

2025011915165500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915165700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Yikes. Fettuccine got beamed by a Flash Cannon for super effective damage. I guess we are due for some Steely actions after locking Magnezone for Protect for so long.

2025011915165900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915170100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Screens on both sides are gone. Uh-oh, that means Magnezone's Flash Cannon will shine even brighter, and I hate that.

2025011915171200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oi, is that a Rotom residing in a washing machine? Maybe it can help me clean up my dishes?

2025011915172700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Fettuccine is a naughty kid that plays with the washing machine. Let's hope the water won't leak everywhere.

2025011915173100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915173700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wait, how does that work? Why did the washing machine burn my precious Pokemon instead of making it wet? This thing is broken!

2025011915174100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915174400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rustiche's best option against Magnezone is to slam it with Hammer Arm, but it lost some Speed from hammering so strong.

2025011915175100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915175400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I already knew this is happening, but it's still sad to see Fettuccine getting shot by a fatal Flash Cannon. Curse you and your magnets.

2025011915183200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915183500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rotom blasted Rustiche with a Hydro Pump and made sure it is actually rusting. Of course, supercomputers don't work well after getting soaked.

2025011915184100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Bigoli is not what you expect to handle these machines, but his Giga Drain is great at breaking washing machines.

2025011915185100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Magnezone tried to short circuit Bigoli, but nope, can't electrify this coconut tree.

2025011915191500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Magnezone is capable of reflecting all sorts of attacks with its metal body, but it can't stop Bigolie's Leech Seed.

2025011915192300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915192600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ouch! Bigoli could take Thunderbolt but not so much for Flash Cannon. Now its egg heads are getting cooked by UV rays.

2025011915193000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Gnocci's Shell Side Arm won't work well on Magnezone, so he has to rely on Liquidation. Don't you wish he's a Water-type Pokemon.

2025011915194500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915194900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

For a second battle in the row, Gnocci took the final blow with his Quick Draw. What a show-off.
 
2025011915430900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Time to find more League Club trainers to battle with. Gosh, I'm sounding like Nemona now, what the heck happened to me?

2025011915433000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This time, we'll be experimenting on the Linguine-Caccavelle combo meal. Available here as an exclusive Adige special.

2025011915435400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

We have to fight against Whimsicott and Cinccino, and Caccavelle already ate a Moonblast at her face.

2025011915435900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cinccino cooked up something for Linguine, but Linguine dodged that skillfully. He's a well-trained butler after all.

2025011915440400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

As per usual, Linguine's Expanding Force got seasoned by extra flavors thanks to his own terrain.

2025011915440900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915441200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Caccavelle might be the slowest cell around here, but she landed a finishing blow on Cinccino, which honestly matters more.

2025011915442200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Uh-oh. Haxorus definitely looks like it's ready to swallow my Pokemon whole and alive. I don't like that.

2025011915444300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915444600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Whimsicott is a tiny fluffball, but its Moonblast hits surprisingly strong too. Caccavelle really bit the dust this time.

2025011915445400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

At least Linguine managed to avenge his partner by expanding on Whimsicott with strong force. And Haxorus is also significantly weakened. Neat.

2025011915450300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915450400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, maybe we shouldn't have pissed Haxorus off, 'cause its Outrage is simply too emotional for Linguine to empathize with.

2025011915455500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I lost both of my Pokemon at the same time, so I sent in Rustiche and Gnocci as our second lunch set.

2025011915455600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Yikes. Even a defensive Pokemon couldn't take Haxorus' moves. That thing is just too powerful!

2025011915455900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915460100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Good thing the Psychic Terrain is still on the floor, and Rustiche took advantage of that to knock Haxorus out with Zen Headbutt.

2025011915460800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915461100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh no. It's never good to see an Eelektross coil up. I mean, how am I supposed to catch it and chop its head off now?

2025011915461900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I was hoping Gnocci can also slam our foes with Zen Headbutt, but it's a bit hard to aim at a swimming eel.

2025011915462800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Don't worry, Rustiche got a much better aiming this time, and its Zen Headbutt will surely be quite helpful against this eel.

2025011915463200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Eelektross might've become stronger after using Coil, but it ain't breaking through Rustiche's metal surface anytime soon. Nuh-uh.

2025011915464100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915464200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Gnocci made up for his embarrassing miss but landing a critical hit with his Shell Side Arm! Gotta shoot where it hurts.

2025011915464700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And Eelektross got poisoned from that toxic shot! Ew, now I don't want to eat it.

2025011915465400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Darn, I was glad we only had Eelektross left to deal with, but it just refuses to go down.

2025011915470700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, come on, Rustiche. I just said you got better aiming today, and you just had to miss your next attack. Of course, I Jynxed myself!

2025011915471000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915472000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Argh! That gave Eelektross a turn to rest and heal up. Imagine your dish of steamed eels just revitalize and bite you in the mouth. My worst nightmare, for sure.

2025011915472300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Gnocci went with his Shell Side Arm again, but it didn't do that well without a critical hit. Those coiled muscles are no joke.

2025011915475300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915475500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ok, my Pokemon just keep missing moves but land critical hits afterwards. They sure know how to make this exciting.

2025011915480200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915480600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Eelektross talks in its sleep! You need to drink fewer coffee and go see a doctor quickly. Like, why do you even try to rest while sleeping?

2025011915481000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915481500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Gnocci is here to end Eelektross' misery with another Shell Side Arm. That's how fishermen fish nowadays. With a gun on their hands.
 
2025011915501700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

My gut feelings tell me there is only one trainer left to fight, and it's this kid outside of Amarys' home.

2025011915503700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This is a battle between four Psychic-type Pokemon and two Psychic trainers. Awkward.

2025011915504400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This is like having the same meal as the stranger sitting opposite to you. Who eats it better?

2025011915505900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Their Meowstic is in charge of defensive support and just put on a Light Screen. Can't say I don't use the same strategy.

2025011915510400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Linguine's Expanding Force won't do much to other Psychic-type Pokemon, so he will just scream loudly instead.

2025011915510700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915510800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Darn it! I feel like using Dark-type moves like Foul Play is a foul play in a battle with Psychic-type Pokemon only.

2025011915511200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915511500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well then, I'm also not gonna fight fair. Let's knock off Gothitelle's Chesto Berry. No food to eat for you.

2025011915513000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915513100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Darn it! It doesn't feel good to be on the receiving end of Expanding Force, even if my Pokemon resist the hit quite well.

2025011915513500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Second turn. Linguine still doesn't have any better moves to use, so we'll stick with Hyper Voice.

2025011915513700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915513900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Gothitelle is still playing foul. At this point, it is about as evil as a Dark-type Pokemon. That's what being able to see future does to you.

2025011915521300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rustiche is our next Pokemon up, and it definitely doesn't care about Expanding Force.

2025011915521700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Linguine is still using Hyper Voice, but the Light Screen on the opposite side is soundproof.

2025011915522100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Guess who just missed yet another attack? Hint: its name starts with R and ends with an E.

2025011915522500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915522600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Crud. This Gothitelle is doing so much damage on my Pokemon. Proves that your biggest enemy is yourself.

2025011915525600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I trust that Fettuccine can take hits quite well, and indeed, we really do not need to worry about Meowstic's attacks here.

2025011915530000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

But of course, we need a stronger layer of defense by setting up a Light Screen on our side. Better safe than sorry.

2025011915530500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915530800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Finally, Rustiche unleashes a Meteor Mash and send Gothitelle back to out of space. Isn't it ironic for an Astral Body Pokemon?

2025011915533700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

For some reasons, I'm not surprised to see a Reuniclus following that Gothitelle. Too bad Caccavelle is energized enough to meet her friend.

2025011915534100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915534400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Reuniclus is a healthy cell right now, which will take us a while to wear down. Let's paralyze it to slow it down first.

2025011915535000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

According to the Pokedex, Meteor Mash has a 90% chance to land. In actual practice, it has a roughly 369% chance to miss.

2025011915535300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Reuinclus couldn't move its limbs because it is paralyzed. Gotta eat more calcium-filled meals.

2025011915535800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Now that there is no more Light Screen on the opposing side, we might be able to do more damage.

2025011915542500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Linguine's Psychic Surge faded away, but Meowstic prefers having the weird battlefield so much it summons the terrain again.

2025011915542800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

HAHAHA! You fell for the trap! Fettuccine waited for that and asked Meowstic to keep using Psychic Terrain as an encore!

2025011915543500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And Rustiche finally got to use its Meteor Mash again. The stars finally align.

2025011915543800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Whoopsie. Reuniclus is still stuck because it still can't move its gooey arms. Not so magic guarded now, are you?

2025011915545400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915545600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Since Meowstic can no longer threaten us, Fettuccine just needs to focus on playing rough on Reuniclus.

2025011915545900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rustiche calculated its hit and connected yet another Meteor Mash. Reuniclus does look like it belongs to space though.

2025011915550300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915550600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ouch! Reuniclus finally got to move, and its first hit is a super effective Shadow Ball that almost knocked Rustiche out. How about stay paralyzed for a little longer?

2025011915552100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Meowstic is still using Psychic Terrain. Keep going. That's a stellar performance right there.

2025011915552400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025011915552800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

With another Play Rough and another Meteor Mash, Reuniclus is finally gone. Is that how metabolism works?

2025011915553700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

We no longer have the Light Screen on, but I think it's now time to go all-out offensive instead of hiding behind a wall.

2025011915560000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wait, where does that Alcremie come from? I thought this a Psychic-only battle. Get that thing out of here with this Play Rough.

2025011915560400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Darn it, I was hoping Rustiche can squash this cream cake, but it was too weakened and got cleaned by Dazzling Gleam. Aw, the lights.

2025011915561300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Time's up. Meowstic finally realized we weren't here for its swagger moves and stopped its encore.

2025011915563800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Meowstic set up a Light Screen yet again. We didn't even take advantage of the few turns it was off.

2025011915564300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Fettuccine just really wants to pet the cat, ok? By that, I mean using Play Rough until Meowstic can no longer battle.

2025011915565500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Radiatori is here to provide heat support, since we're baking a cake next. Using Psyshock is just the first step listed on the cookbook.

2025011915570000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Dazzling Gleam is not going to do much to us, since Radiatori does not believe in fairy tales.

2025011915571100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This is not the recommended the way to eat a cake, but I'll allow Fettuccine to just slam Alcremie with Play Rough.
 
2025011915581300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Yup. I've beaten every regular trainer in the Canyon Biome. Time to eat some Blueberry Points.

2025011915581900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Meteor Beam goes perfectly well with our new meteor mashing friend, but I don't think I'll need this.

2025012018553000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You know what time it is? Time for Amarys, who was not happy to let me join the League Club when I last saw her.

2025012018560800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hmm, Miraidon has the ability to glide, but I don't know if it can support me and my picnic table for a free-roaming flight.

2025012018563800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012018564800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

WHAT? Did you just feed Miraidon some crazy vitamins and it can now fly? Why don't you give me some of those?

2025012018565100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

On second thoughts, maybe I don't want to eat mysterious leaves from unknown sources. I'll just stick to my Caesar Salad.

2025012018580500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012018585300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Flying was fun but not as fun as making spicy sandwiches after exchanging ingredients with fellow picnickers. Let's try finish the trial and cut to the main course.

2025012019025600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ooh, Amarys seems oddly concerned about Kieran. Did I just smell the scent of romance in the air?

2025012019032800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019034000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ok, I was just kidding. Amarys is the type to follow strictly to the rules and refuses a single second of her time.

2025012019034300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Then we'll see how quickly Ravioli and Lumache take down fancy Dugtrio and Skarmory.

2025012019035400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Amarys uses the classic strategy of Earthquaking Dugtrio alongside a Flying-type Pokemon. Thanks, I hate this.

2025012019035700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019040100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Skarmory even threw some pointy stones at our side, which means my Pokemon can't come in at full force.

2025012019040500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019041400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ravioli is in charge of ionizing Skarmory with a nasty Thunderbolt. She doesn't look that electrified, which is why Amarys was in a shock.

2025012019041600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019041900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hey, your stainless steel is looking dirty. How about I ask Lumache to clean it up with some Muddy Water?

2025012019042800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This time, I gave Lumache some Leftovers to eat, since I believe she can take care of these steely monsters quite well.

2025012019045300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019045500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Dugtrio struck with another Earthquake. My Pokemon were still hanging around, but it is getting tough for them.

2025012019050000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

At least Ravioli got to recover a little bit thanks to her Sitrus Berry. Too bad she couldn't chew that berry for a second time.

2025012019050300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ok, I think we need to stop the opposite attacks. Let's put on a Reflect and block whatever's coming next.

2025012019050800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019051000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Yes! Lumache is here for a double KO with her Muddy Water. This is like eating a double cheeseburger, and I'll enjoy every bite of it.

2025012019054600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Uh-oh. I wasn't expecting Amarys to have a Reuniclus of all things. Not to mention her emperor penguin, which seems to be here to steal Lumache's fishy dessert.

2025012019061000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I don't feel very safe right now. I need Lumache to protect herself to see what's going on.

2025012019061700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ravioli gave Empoleon a good old Thunderbolt, which works well on its metal wings but isn't quite enough for a KO.

2025012019062100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019062500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ah-ha! Empoleon tried to trip Lumache up with a Grass Knot. I'm so glad she protected her shell.

2025012019062800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh no, everything starts shaking and I think I'm in a twisted dimension of some sorts. Darn it, of course Reuniclus gave us a headache with its tricks.

2025012019065600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019065800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Reuinclus is normally a slow blob of goo, but it went quickly to knock Lumache out with Energy Ball under Trick Room. So, this is what Amarys has been planning all along.

2025012019070800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019071000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, come on! Ravioli hasn't been eating that much, so how did she faint from Grass Knot? She loves eating leaves all the time, and she should've eaten those up.

2025012019080600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I took a double kill at my face, so I'll need to send two Pokemon out for revenge. Unfortunately, Rotelle took a hit by stepping on those sneaky pebbles before the turn even started.

2025012019085000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019085600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

But Rotelle got to take advantage of the weird dimension and bugs our opponents with Special Attack drops before they could even move.

2025012019090200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Yikes! Empoleon charges a Hydro Pump at Rotelle's mud ball, and it is not looking good for him.

2025012019090300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019091000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rotelle took the hit with a tiny chunk of health left, but he got some more back with his Sitrus Berry. Yum yum.

2025012019091500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019091800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Amarys isn't the only one who builds their team for Earthquake offense! Rustiche can also shake the grounds with no worries, since Rotelle floats with his Telepathy.

2025012019092100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Eh? Am I seeing doubles or is Reuinclus just using Trick Room for a second time? Make up your mind!
 
2025012019094500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Now that the twisted dimension has been untwisted, Rustiche now goes first with its Earthquake action. Again, Rotelle is not affected at all.

2025012019094900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This is why penguins shouldn't have gone flightless. You could've taken those Earthquakes easily.

2025012019095500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019095700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Now that there is only one target left to hit, Rotelle can go with Bug Buzz instead of Struggle Bug for a stronger damage.

2025012019100500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Does having a Reflect matter when your opponents aren't even out yet? We don't even know what's next.

2025012019101600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Two things I don't want to see! A fellow Psychic-type Pokemon and an annoying Bug-type Pokemon. Gross!

2025012019111600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019113500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Welp. It was nice seeing Amarys using another Psychic-type Pokemon, until she decides to turn Metagross into pure steel. I'm not holding back anymore then.

2025012019114200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rustiche will prove itself to be the smarter Metagross on the field anyways, and its analysis shows that using Earthquake is still the best move here.

2025012019114700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019115000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ouch. Imagine being a bug and getting knocked out by another bug. Scizor is a meanie that shows no mercy to all kinds of Pokemon.

2025012019115800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Obviously, Amarys' Metagross also feels a little competitive to see Rustiche on the field, but I trust that it has no problems taking a few more hits.

2025012019120800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ok, Amarys has brought out her aces, so I also need to pump up my game. How about Cavatelli for a heated battle? Don't mind those stealthy rockies.

2025012019124600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019124900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rustiche can no longer use Earthquake freely, so I switch up our strategies. First, we'll be removing Metagross' item with Knock Off.

2025012019125200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019125500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cavatelli will be the big gun here, and all he needs is to burn everything up with Heat Wave. I hope you like living in an oven.

2025012019125800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It is unfortunate that Scizor has an Occa Berry ready for this situation, as it will surely be a great dish when cooked under high temperature.

2025012019130400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sorry, Metagross, but I already have a better one on my team. I like you better when you are still a psychic user.

2025012019131200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019131500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ouch. Cavatelli took a Pounce at his head, which did so much damage even though he isn't weak to Scizor. He also got slower and probably would love to see the dimensions stay twisted.

2025012019132200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cavatelli got to eat his Leftovers, but it's now time to just end things up quickly.

2025012019133500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019133800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

That's it. Rustiche uses its Hammer Arm to crash the metal mantis. Finally, a reliable way to remove this menace.

2025012019134500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

With Rustiche and Cavatelli on our team, of course Amarys and her Steel-type Pokemon won't be any problems.

2025012019135200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019143300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Amarys trusts that I will be the one who deals with the League Club chaos, while I'm just here because some strangers asked me to do so.

2025012019145300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019150200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's not tell her that though, not before she told the League Club clerk that I have beaten another Elite Four member. Oh, and a TM for Hard Press.

2025012019153800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012019160400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Drayton is here to congratulate me, but he also knows that I save him for last. Something tells me he's gonna be a tough cookie, too.

2025012019160800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Maybe I should pay him a visit. After all, I've eaten so many of his snacks, it's about time I repay him in some ways.

2025012019204000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'll first see what Leif has to say for this. Let's see ...

"Dear Adige,

Good job on clearing the third Elite Trial! I have some good news to share with you too! I got approval from La Primera to set up the 'Leif and co. Monotype Association'! All we have left is to recognize you as an official executive member of the association. I'll tell you what you need to do in person, but for right now, I think you should go visit Perrin as she should have something prepared for you. After that ... let's meet up at the Chargestone Cavern! I have prepared a gift you as well! See ya!

Yours growingly,
Leif
 
2025012019210600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ok, if I need to talk to Perrin, I better fill up the remaining spots of my Pokedex, which means I gotta upgrade another biome for more wild Pokemon to catch.

2025012020453100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Lotty is excellent at catching Pokemon, if hypnotizing wild otters and kidnapping them count as such.

2025012020464500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oshawott seems to be really skilled at eating shellfish. I need to learn more from it, so it'll need to stay in my box for a while.

2025012020481100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, this is where you can find wild Chimchar, except I already have one who turned into the banana king already.

2025012020563200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cyndaquil is a gentle Pokemon, and I think it'll serve as a great fireplace to warm up my Pokemon.

2025012020565700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

After what feels like an eternity, I finally filled in 200 pages of the Pokedex. Is this real or is this just a dream?

2025012020574500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Now that I got 200 Pokemon in the Blueberry Academy registered, Perrin will share her special tips to me. I hope it's hamburger-related!

2025012020580800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012020581100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Huh, what? Why did Perrin just show two pictures of Area Zero to me? She shouldn't be allowed there!

2025012020581500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wait, that's right. I have never seen these Pokemon before. Are these Iron Pokemon what I should be looking for?

2025012020582400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I know for sure where those two Pokemon are hiding in, but do I really want to go back?

2025012020583500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Leif did mention that I need approval from Ms. Geeta to join his association. Maybe catching these Iron Pokemon would convince her to do so?

2025012119090800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I guess I have no choice but to find those two Pokemon. After all, this is what Leif expects me to do.

2025012119313300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hey, this Pokemon looks like a cyber version of Ferrazzuoli and is absolutely not here last time I visited this place. Think this might be it.

2025012119342300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Woah. This metal deer is capable of predicting the future. I think this is a Paradox Pokemon that yield the powers of psychic.

2025012119450300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

That's right. Iron Crown uses its crown to powers up its blades and cuts everything down. This is like Gallade, but not really.

2025012119552200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, since it is a Psychic-type Pokemon, Tagliolini will now be part of the team and show us its mighty bladework.

2025012119581900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Excuse me. Why does this metal ball have legs and why is it staring at me like it wants me dead?

2025012120155700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ouch. This metal ball has blades so sharp it can even cut through Rustiche's metal body. Took me a few tries to calm it down.

2025012120210200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I wasn't expecting a brute and violent Pokemon like Iron Boulder would be a Psychic-type Pokemon, but sure.

2025012120215500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Caramelle will also be joining our adventure. Now I see why Leif wants me to find these two.

2025012120583700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012120584900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

First things first, every new Pokemon on my team needs to visit Treasure Eatery at least once. Some Soba Noodle Soup will do.

2025012120593800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012120594200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Woah! Caramelle had some noodles, but they weren't enough! Let's feed it some Tera dish while we're at it.

2025012121130200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Tagliolini stayed in the warm Area Zero for so long, so I wasn't sure if it can stand the cold. I'm sure it will be fine though.

2025012121134000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

If Caramelle finds any glaciers blocking its way, it will just cut them down with its rock-hard blades.

2025012121255500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I don't know. Does this place feel cold enough to be called polar?

2025012121261900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I think this'll be the perfect battle for Tagliolini's and Caramelle's grand debut. Let's put those swords to work!

2025012121265800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Caramelle is a direct attacker that simply slices Qwilfish with the sharp rocky blades on its forehead. Be careful touching that poisonous pufferfish though.

2025012121270900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Tagliolini prefers long-ranged attacks, but its blades are still sharp enough to cut Duosion down.

2025012521491400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I finished what Leif wants me to do, which is just in time as I received his message telling me he has arrived.

2025012321141100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sure, let's head into the cavern, but this time I'll be going in with the entrance from the Polar side.

2025012521532000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, Leif is having a battle, maybe I shouldn't interrupt him. Wait, his Pokemon looks so shiny, what the heck?

2025012521533100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Excuse me? Leif's Pokemon chopped down Joltik, but its sword was filled with psychic forces. Huh?

2025012521543800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

"Hey Adige, sorry for that! I was trying to show you my Raisin. I think you'll like it!" Now, I'll have to say I appreciate the names Leif gives to his Pokemon.

2025012521552700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

"As I said, I want you to be accepted as the vice-chairperson of Leif and Co. Monotype Association, but there are some research works I want you to do first!"

2025012521560700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

"You'll need to study about how Psychic-type Pokemon live and use their psychic abilities. Among them, Iron Leaves is a rare Pokemon without too much information found, so I want you to work on that."

2025012521575400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Leif traded me his Iron Leaves, which is apparently a Paradox Pokemon that can't even be found in Area Zero. Where on earth does this come from then?

2025012521580300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Iron Leave is a Grass/Psychic-type Pokemon. I guess it is the perfect bridge between Leif and I. Still shocked he would just give me such a rare Pokemon.

2025012522104400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

"Just spend some time with Raisin and investigate its habits. I know this is a tough mission, but don't stress out! You still have plenty of things to do before I officially submit your application to La Primera."

2025012522110200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

"I have also just published some research reports on all Grass-type Pokemon that can be found in Paldea, Kitakami and the Blueberry Academy! You can take a look at them for your reference. I trust that you can deal with this! See ya!"

(The next update will be done on Leif's thread!)
 
2025012522294500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Woah, Casunziei, did you take a look at Leif's research papers? He has studied e-ve-ry Grass-type Pokemon. He can be a professor at this point.

2025012522324700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Does he expect me to do the same with Psychic-type Pokemon? Who knows forming an academy association would require so much work?

2025012522391700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This is so much information I need to spin to make my mind clear. In this particular patch of grass, for no reasons at all.

2025012522393800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Uh-oh, I must've spun too fast I'm now seeing things in sepia. Oh, and I am hearing strange music, too.

2025012522395800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hold on, does the beautiful singing come from this Pokemon? Don't think I've seen it around.

2025012522401900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012522402100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Woah! Farfalle was mesmerized by Meloetta's singing, and suddenly, it hit him with Psychic. Huh, does that mean ...

2025012522404000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012522404500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Meloetta performs a Relic Song that is so melodic Farfalle fell asleep. This is so groovy, but Farfalle does not know how to appreciate art.

2025012522405500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wait, did Meloetta change to a fighter costume? Suddenly, I don't want to battle it anymore.

2025012522471800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Anyways, it is quite clear Meloetta is a Psychic-type Pokemon, so I caught it and named it Stringozzi.

2025012522472000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Stringozzi is probably better at using Hyper Voice than Linguine or Ravioli. Time for a low-fi concert tonight.

2025012522483100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

With Stringozzi on our team now, I think we can conquer the remaining parts of Chargestone Cavern.

2025012522490600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012522492300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, and I still have Leif's Raisin here. It is a strong Pokemon that is so skilled at using blades in battles.

2025012522500500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I love Stringozzi's Relic Song performance, but using it in battle will turn it into something else. Something with low psychic energy.

2025012321194700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hey Caccavelle, you don't have a heart on your head, but don't worry, we still heart you.

2025012321212900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

We made it to the Polar Biome, and the weather is getting more bizarre. There is snow, rain and thunder all at the same time.

2025012321233800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Woah, watch your mouth. Fettuccine has been gaining weight, but you shouldn't call it plump and little just because of that.

2025012321374900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I found the Polar Plaza, but I'm not doing anything here yet. When I get ready one day, I'll be battling Drayton here.

2025012321391000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ew! I can't be having picnics here, if my sandwiches get frozen the moment I take them out. I eat all sorts of things but not rocks.

2025012423244000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It's getting colder and colder. I wonder if that has anything to do with the creepy ghosts lurking around.

2025012423322800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

How do Water-type Pokemon function here, if even water gets frozen? For that matter, can I still find delicious sashimi to eat?

2025012423331100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Aww, this is a family reunion between Caccavelle and an opposing Duosion. Metang will need to wait for Rustiche's arrival.

2025012423332600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sorry, but we can't stay in this heartwarming moment forever. Let's knock it off and move on.

2025012423333500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012423333900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nah, let's just vibe here while the battlefield gets weird. This is a true Psychic party.

2025012423401500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Tell me! What did you eat here? Mashed potatoes? That's a certified classic for a cold day.

2025012423405200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The second Metang we needed to fight today. Let's not pay attention to Porygon, which is trying to blend in by copying Casunziei's Synchronize power.

2025012423410500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The good thing about battling Psychic-type Pokemon is that I know exactly what they are weak to. Some shadow balls should do the job.

2025012423430200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Um, not really, unless you're talking about how a human magician turns into a Psychic-type Pokemon one day.

2025012423432400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh my lord. I definitely don't like occult mysteries about big giant golems. Get that out of here.

2025012423442800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012423443100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

What the heck! Every time I run into a Minior, it explodes within five seconds and hurts my Pokemon!

2025012423444800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I hope you enjoy taking your Pokemon and Casunziei out. Are you proud of yourself?

2025012423445500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Caccavelle didn't even get to do anything, since her opponents all blew up. I'm glad she managed to sponge the explosion.

2025012423475000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The Polar Biome is home to many strong trainers, so it'll take a while to beat everyone. For now, let's just get this Muddy Water TM.
 
2025012522513900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I believe I only have the League Club members left to battle. Let's start with the one hanging by the cavern entrance.

2025012522515800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This is a battle between three birds and an empathetic butler. Sure, we'll turn the terrain weird, 'cause it won't affect anyone.

2025012522521500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, great, we're starting with this shit already. Mandibuzz started by protecting itself. Coward.

2025012522522100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012522522300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Talonflame, on the other hand, went with a more aggressive playstyle and just slammed Penne with Flare Blitz.

2025012522522800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012522523100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Penne's beautiful feathers were burned from the hit. I'm glad Talonflame also gets punished from this.

2025012522523900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hey, this cavern is looking pretty dark. Mind if Linguine lights things up with some Dazzling Gleam? Not that Mandibuzz cares.

2025012522524400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Come on, Penne! I needed you to unleash a mighty Hurricane to blow these darn birds away!

2025012522530100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012522530500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, it was fun having Penne around, but he went down without being able to do much. Great start, indeed.

2025012522531300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Linguine continued with his Dazzling Gleam. Even though Mandibuzz didn't protect itself, it still didn't take much damage. Such a meaty bird.

2025012522532000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012522532200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Darn it. I really don't need Mandibuzz to get even more Defense. It is already really difficult to take down.

2025012522541900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Lasagna will come in to aid Linguine. First, he'll clap in front of Talonflame's face to give it a good old flinch.

2025012522542400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012522542700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Then Linguine can safely scream with his Hyper Voice, which finished Talonflame off. That is one less bird to deal with.

2025012522543400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, really? Mandibuzz decides to be ultra-annoying by launching itself into the high sky. What am I supposed to do now?

2025012522543700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The only things you can eat in the sky are airplane meals, and those definitely do not give you HP recovery.

2025012522550200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

At least we know Mandibuzz is planning a Fly attack, and Lasagna can put up a Reflect before it strikes.

2025012522551200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

We have no hope aiming at Mandibuzz this turn, so we'll be focusing on Toucannon with Linguine's Expanding Force.

2025012522551500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012522551900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nice! Linguine scored big time with Expanding Force and forced Toucannon to swallow its Sitrus Berry. Maybe chew a bit next time.

2025012522552300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

There it is. Mandibuzz came back down and landed right on Linguine's noggin. Ouch, his brain.

2025012522552800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Are you forking for real? Toucannon is also using the Fly tactic. Why can't these birds just chill?

2025012522555300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

At least Mandibuzz will be on the ground this time, and Lasagna can give it a shocking Thunder Wave.

2025012522560400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Linguine can also freely use his Dazzling Gleam, since Mandibuzz is scared of the brightness.

2025012522560700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Again? Toucannon also landed on Linguine's head with its Fly. His head is not an airport, I'm telling ya.

2025012522561100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012522562800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

*Cough cough* Mandibuzz threw put some rat poison in Lasagna' food, and now he has been poisoned.

2025012522563100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ok, this has taken way too long. Linguine's Psychic Surge has already disappeared, because these birds keep flying.

2025012522564200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Just in case Toucannon plans to fly up again, Lasagna paralyzed it to make sure it can spread its wings.

2025012522565000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Darn it, Linguine's Hyper Voice was so strong but not enough to finish either of the birds.

2025012522565300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Good. Mandibuzz was probably trying something funny, so I'm glad Thunder Wave kicked in.

2025012522565700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012522570000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wait, you had that all along? Toucannon went for a direct assault this time with Brick Break and cleaned our Reflect.

2025012522572600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Time to try our new friend, Stringozzi, out. I'm sure these darn birds won't mind going out with some high notes.

2025012522573900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The opening act will be Lasagna's Psychic Noise on Toucannon. Get some popcorns ready, 'cause the show is just about to start.

2025012522585100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

There we go! Stringozzi's voice is so angelic and alluring there's no way Mandibuzz can keep flying!
 
2025012523003800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

One day, I was stopped by a League Club Trainer hiding in the cavern path. That is my first mistake.

2025012523053800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012523053900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm convinced High Horsepower has a high critical hit chance that the Pokedex just refuses to mention.

2025012523081700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Fighting a full team of Pokemon that prey on Psychic-type Pokemon was not fun. Hey, Stelline, would you please rewind time for us?

2025012523142700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It has been 3000 years, but I'm back to defeat you.

2025012523144300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This time, I'll be trying my luck with Linguine alongside Sorprese, even though my cute windchime won't be able to absorb the Psychic Terrain.

2025012523150700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I don't like seeing Porygon2 and Krookodile together. I must scream really loudly to express my frustration.

2025012523151400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Krookodile is a vile crocodile, and I'm actually glad it uses Stealth Rock instead of its dark tricks.

2025012523151900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Porygon2 is a Pokemon great at analyzing its opponents, which means that it uses Shadow Ball because it knows Sorprese would hate that.

2025012523152400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It might be too late now, but Sorprese will be putting on Light Screen to stop more shadowy balls.

2025012523153300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sorprese will be taking his time to eat some Leftovers and get some good rest. Don't mind him.

2025012523164600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sometimes you gotta make tough choices in Pokemon battles. This time, Linguine chooses to focus on Porygon2 and give Krookodile a free turn by using Expanding Force.

2025012523165300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

We landed a big hit on Porygon2, but that rubber ducky was holding a Sitrus Berry all along.

2025012523165700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Krookodile is now rampaging with its High Horsepower. It targeted Linguine, 'cause Sorprese is too high to take that horsepower.

2025012523170000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Come on! Let Linguine breathe for a while! Porygon2 blasted a Tri Attack on Linguine. This is bullying.

2025012523171000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Even though Sorprese is normally a peaceful friend-for-all, sometimes he needs to go with fierce attacks just to remove our threats.

2025012523173000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Lasagna went on the field and took damage from the pointy stones. He also wasted his turn because his trainer is dumb enough to use Fake Out while the terrain is still filled with psychic energy.

2025012523175400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Crud! Lasagna took a High Horsepower at his face and almost got knocked out immediately. Yikes.

2025012523175900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012523180200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm glad Sorprese diverts Porygon2's attention and took that Tri Attack like a champ, but that paralysis is so stinky.

2025012523180800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012523181400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Time to put that crocodile to an end. Sorprese blew some Icy Wind and slowed Porygon2 down as well. Finally, something nice for us.

2025012523184100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Lasagna isn't that great at using attacks, but his Psychic Noise can hurt your ears really badly. Porygon2 down as well.

2025012523185700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I hope one day the entire Blueberry Academy burns, and all of the spiders will be gone. Dreams come true, right?

2025012523194600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Golurk is the final foe we need to deal with, but I have Ravioli on my side, and she doesn't believe in ghost stories.

2025012523195400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Too bad Ravioli very much believes in bugs, and her tail hoodie can't protect her ears from this brutal Bug Buzz.

2025012523200000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012523200400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Don't worry too much, as Ravioli always hides one of her Sitrus Berries in her pocket. Let's hope Galvantula won't strike again, though.

2025012523200800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012523201000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

There we go. Sometimes you need to fight your fears, and Ravioli is here to prove that right by ending that spider.

2025012523201800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

On the other side of the battle, Golurk breathes some creepy air and send Lasagna to the other dimension. Rest in pepperoni.

2025012523202900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I hope this battle will be ending soon, 'cause we lost our weird field already.

2025012523204900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Step one, I send Stringozzi out for a Psychic on Golurk's stone-cold body. No songs performance for you.

2025012523205400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012523211000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Step two, Ravioli also unleashes her Psychic, and it's time for Golurk to go back to the shadow realm.
 
2025012523225000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

My dream is to live in a house that is entirely made of chocolate cupcakes. Turns out that was actually another mistake.

2025012523234100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

We needed to fight a Magnezone that is paralyzing my Pokemon non-stop. If only Sorprese has a move that can heal status conditions for the entire team.

2025012523303400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

To make things worse, there is also a Scizor on the opposing side. Why are these things everywhere?

2025012523305600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

We can probably take hits from these two metal titans, but this will take forever. Waiter, please remake my order.

2025012523330000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wait, your dream is to become an Elite Four member? The first thing you should do is to buy Drayton some snacks. He'll do the rest for you.

2025012523332900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I know what a Meowstic can do in battles. That's right, putting Light Screen up with an unstoppable pranking speed.

2025012523333600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012523333800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Our strategy is to use Earthquake while Sorprese floats above the shaking grounds. That's the advantage of quitting your last attempt.

2025012523334300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Magnezone decided to zap Sorprese with Thunderbolt this time. At least he didn't get paralyzed from that.

2025012523334800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012523335400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I think this is the perfect weather for Sorprese to whip up an Icy Wind. Meowstic was an agile feline but not anymore.

2025012523343900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rustiche now rules the land and strikes the ground with another Earthquake. We are now in a magnet-free zone.

2025012523345200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Meowstic took the Earthquake and ate its Sitrus Berry. I should patent the idea of putting berries on Psychic-type Pokemon, 'cause these people are copying me.

2025012523345800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Meowstic went for a regular Psychic on Sorprese, but of course, he took the hit. He isn't scared of other psychics.

2025012523350300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I think Meowstic is still a little too fast, so we'll be freezing it over with Icy Wind again.

2025012523354100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

There it is, the metal mantis. It isn't weak to Rustiche's Earthquake, but it still took some damage. Good.

2025012523355000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Scizor then pounced on Rustiche. Good thing its metal body was left unscratched, and it didn't become slower after taking the hit.

2025012523355400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I was planning to chill Scizor down a little bit, but it is getting difficult to aim in the snow. Argh, my eyes.

2025012523361200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012523361400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I think a safe way to weaken Scizor is to knock off its held item. It turns out Scizor was just holding a useless sash anyways.

2025012523361700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Scizor is still using Pounce. I'm glad it's focusing on Rustiche, 'cause Sorprese would get swept by that.

2025012523362200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Scizor doesn't mind taking an Icy Wind thanks to its steel armor, but it still took a speed drop. That's what eating too much ice cream do to your brain.

2025012523364800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Time for Rustiche to take out Scizor. Wait, of course, it isn't going to land an attack because of accuracies. Silly me for thinking this would work.

2025012523365100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sorprese can't do too much to Scizor, so he's just sitting here crying. But Scizor was not moved. Not in the slightest.

2025012523365700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Welp. I knew this would happen eventually. Sorprese got picked up by a brutal Pounce. He did great already though.

2025012523372400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012523372700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

If Scizor wants it the hard way, we will deliver it with Radiatori's Mystical Fire. Scizor is absolutely cooked.
 
2025012618391900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Uh-oh, I thought there was no one watching when I took those ice cream cups. Hmm, I need to make sure there is no eyewitness to that. None that is alive, at least.

2025012618392800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, an Iono fan. Um, nice meeting you, hahaha. I totally wasn't planning anything sinister.

2025012618394200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It has been a while since we last saw Maltagliati or Fileja in action, so let's see how they do against ... a lazy man and a dog. Cool.

2025012618400200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Battling a Smeargle is like opening a fridge. You never know what it is packing until it covers itself with Spiky Shield.

2025012618400800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012618401100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I think Slaking is a bigger problem here, so Fileja will be scaring Slaking with a Fake Out.

2025012618401400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012618401800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Smeargle is busy protecting itself, while Slaking flinched from Fake Out. This is the perfect time for Maltagliati to make some fillets. Fillet Away, my dear!

2025012618402600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

What? Smeargle randomly gained some Defense, just because it is in the mood to do so. Well, I'm feeling hungry, so give me some food!

2025012618403900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012618404100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Since Maltagliati lost some fillet weight, he now strikes with Liquidation before anyone else can move. Too bad Slaking didn't take that much.

2025012618404400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

If you want a picture of Maltagliati that badly, you could've just asked us nicely. You don't need to make some doodle art.

2025012618405000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hold on. How does Slaking gain Mold Breaker from that? Hold on a second time, does that mean it is no longer slacking off?

2025012618410500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012618410600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, we definitely need to remove Slaking as soon as possible. Fileja tried her Psyshock, but that wasn't enough to finish the dirty job.

2025012618410900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ouch. Slaking lashed out with a nasty chop aiming at Fileja's frail throat. Let her swallow her fish biscuits first, ok?

2025012618411700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Slaking isn't simply working hard now. It needs to go the extra mile by pumping its attack with a Life Orb. No, thank you.

2025012618415100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012618415600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Thank the lord Maltagliati sends Slaking away with a second Liquidation. Who knows frying fillets would be so beneficial in battles?

2025012618420400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, Caramelle is here to help the team out this time. The power of future Pokemon is not to be underestimated, as we saw in Area Zero.

2025012618420700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012618421200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Darn it! Smeargle took a sap at Maltagliati. He didn't take damage, but he lost the attack he gained from cutting his own body!

2025012618423500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, come on. This Smeargle is just trying to be annoying now. Is it trying to cosplay as a durian, since it keeps using Spiky Shield?

2025012618424100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Maltagliati wants some liquidated eggs, so he slammed Blissey with Liquidation. Maybe frying the eggs with oil would be a better idea.

2025012618424600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012618425200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Caramelle tried to slice through Smeargle's shield, but it only got hurt in the process. Argh!

2025012618425500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Blissey is a peaceful Pokemon that prefers not using attacks. I think it would be more peaceful if it also doesn't use Light Screen.

2025012618433300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Liquidation is probably still Maltagliati's best option against Blissey, which means we will be having boiled eggs for another turn.

2025012618433800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

2025012618434300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Without any spiky barriers in the way, Caramelle succeeded with its Sacred Sword. Too bad the sword was not sharp enough to cut through Smeargle's Focus Sash.

2025012618435400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012618435800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Blissey blew some Icy Wind to slow our team down. I can't be too mad, because I've been doing the same with Sorprese.

2025012618441200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh no, Smeargle used Spiky Shield again. What should I do?

2025012618441800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

First, Maltagliati will be landing the finishing blow on Blissey. The eggs have finally been cracked!

2025012618443000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

HAHAHA! Sacred Sword couldn't do the job, but Caramelle has a Mighty Cleave that cuts through all kind of protection!

2025012618445100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

We only have Comfey to deal with now. Caramelle might look like a Fighting-type, but it actually isn't, and it is thus not weak to Draining Kiss.

2025012618445600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012618445900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Maltagliati just keeps swimming with his Liquidation. Comfey took the hit but also had its Defense dropped.

2025012618450300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Comfey is a beautiful flower ring, but Caramelle is trying to cut that down with Mighty Cleave. Some people just never understand art.

2025012618451200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Darn it! Since Comfey lived the hits with some tiny amount of health left, Maltagliati also needs to take some Draining Kiss. A hake's worst nightmare.

2025012618452100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Enough is enough. Maltagliati ended this nonsense with his Psycho Cut. He's definitely the MVP of this match with his Fillet Away tactics.

2025012618454900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, we are still talking about the Iono stream? Good, maybe I'll let you go.
 
2025012621481000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

What kind of challenge are we talking about? Is it the Gummy Bear Challenge or the Chubby Bunny Challenge I saw from JoltikTok?

2025012621483100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

What kind of challenge involves an icy mouse and a dugong? Is this the newest trend of Porygram?

2025012621485700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012621490000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The Rustiche-Rotelle combo jumbo worked really well last time, so I'll let Rustiche shake the grounds once again.

2025012621490400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012621491000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Yikes! It always hurts when Rotelle gets attacked by Bug-type moves. This is some bug-leech-bug world.

2025012621491500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Dewgong looks like it swims in the purest waters, but it can also whip up some Muddy Water. Puke.

2025012621492100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rotelle is just hanging around, and he already took so much damage. Thankfully, he has a Sitrus Berry ready in his mudball.

2025012621492500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Now is Rotelle's turn to strike back. Some Earth Power should teach Sandslash why it should stay sandy and slashy.

2025012621494200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Seriously? Every time I want to get the battle going, my opponents would just use Protect.

2025012621494800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sandslash already took a bunch of damage last turn, and Rustiche's Bullet Punch finished the job at a bullet speed.

2025012621500100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rotelle can't do anything, since Dewgong protected itself. No matter how loud he screams, his Bug Buzz just won't go through.

2025012621502200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012621502600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Lapras entered the field, and Rustiche welcomed it with a Hammer Arm. Lapras took some damage, while Rustiche ate a speed drop. It's a lose-lose situation.

2025012621502900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012621503200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Dewgong went with Muddy Water again, and I'm still so confused where the mud comes from. They even got into Rotelle's eyes!

2025012621503900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rustiche ate its Sitrus Berry to recover some health. You can't see it here, because its stomach is down below.

2025012621504200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012621504500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Lapras went for some cleaner waves and hit everyone with Surf. When I say everyone, that also includes the Dewgong on the other side.

2025012621504900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012621505100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rotelle only has 1 HP left, but he is still trying his best to bug the other team with Struggle Bug. Their upcoming attacks should be weakened now.

2025012621511300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012621511700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, that Special Attack drop wasn't quite enough, and it took one tiny dew drop to finish Rotelle off.

2025012621512600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Since Rustiche slowed itself down, it got cleaned by Surf before being able to anything. Our supercomputer is getting rusty.

2025012621520300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I lost two Pokemon in one turn, so I send in Pansotti and Caramelle at the same time. The problem is, Caramelle doesn't like Water-type Pokemon.

2025012621523000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Which is why I Terastallized Caramelle and turned it into a true psychic beast. No more dry rocks on its skin!

2025012621524400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Caramelle's rocky power is still enough to finish Lapras with a Mighty Cleave. Oops, these things might be going extinct again.

2025012621525300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012621525700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I wasn't expecting Dewgong to suddenly cast a snowstorm out of nowhere, but sure. I'm not complaining.

2025012621530000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Pansotti doesn't need Terastallization to power up himself, but his Sludge Bomb should do the dirty work.

2025012621530200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Not quite, actually. Dewgong hanged on with some tiny health and managed to eat the snow to recover some more.

2025012621530800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Our final opponent is Lanturn. My past unhappy memories came back, and I'm about to cry.

2025012621532100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Caramelle's Mighty Cleave can even chop through the sturdiest glacier, so of course Dewgong won't be a problem. Just be careful not to break the ice we're stepping on right now.

2025012621533100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Do you know that futuristic boulders are powered up by electricity? Well, Caramelle short circuited and got paralyzed.

2025012621533900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012621534300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Pansotti threw a Sludge Bomb at Lanturn, and he luckily got the poison. This should speed things up a little bit.

2025012621535900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Lanturn lit the area up with some confusing rays. Pansotti saw the lights but wasn't confused in the slightest. He just doesn't care.

2025012621540300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Caramelle continued with his Mighty Cleave, but Lanturn didn't go down that easily.

2025012621541100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Lanturn got some health back thanks to its Sitrus Berry, but it needs some hamburgers to stand a chance against our team.

2025012621541500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

'Cause Pansotti is just going to bomb Lanturn with some sludge and call it a day!

2025012621552000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I found every Polar Biome trainer to battle, and I was rewarded with a Triple Axel. Does that mean I need to practice on the ice here?

2025012621553200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012621553600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wait, there's more! This is the final biome, so I get some extra prizes in 5 Ability Patches. Um, okay.

2025012714214100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012714214800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I gave a patch to Lasagna, and now he's turned into a Prankster kitty. We'll see how naughty he can get.
 
2025012714230700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, the only Elite Four member I haven't battled is Drayton, and it's about time I do so. I'm glad he offered to pay for my entrance fee, but I don't actually need Blueberry Points anymore.

2025012714233800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

He's right. I wasn't expecting to see a Dragon-type user in the cold biome. Think maybe that's because he likes shaved ice.

2025012714235000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012714241700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Drayton's trial is fairly straightforward. I just need to battle three trainers using Pokemon caught here. This is like a mini Gym.

2025012714250300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012714251800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Battle number one. We showed Rampardos why having a massive Psychic brain is more important than a massive rock head.

2025012714255500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And then Caccavelle thought of landing a Thunder on Bastiondon's back to work around its steel-face shield. Clever!

2025012714280200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Battle number two, we fought against Sandslash and Dewgong. Hmm, where have I seen this before?

2025012714293200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And then this final trainer is an Iono fan. Why do I feel like there is one of her fans everywhere we go? Do they not watch other streamers, like ...?

2025012714315400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm here to fight the big dragon, so I didn't really spend much time on his underlings. Let's get to the main course, shall we?

2025012714552900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012714554400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I feel like I've known Drayton for so long, but this is actually our first time battling. I wonder what he's like in battles, I can't read his mind!

2025012714555700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012714561200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

My final BB League Elite Four started with Lasagna Lumache leading the team against Flygon and Dragonite.

2025012714563100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, Drayton's dragons are clearly going to be strong offensive foes, so Lasagna put on a Reflect before they get to do anything.

2025012714563800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012714564000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Drayton is also a user of the classic Earthquake strategy. Poor Lasagna and Lumache having to eat such big hits.

2025012714564300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Flygon is using a Life Orb to boost its attacks. I see, so this is what Drayton is planning all along.

2025012714565200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012714565500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Dragonite used Ice Spinner on Lasagna. Where did it learn that from? Did Drayton have a date with Grusha?

2025012714570200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I should just mind my business, which means I'll be looking at Lasagna's Sitrus Berry meal.

2025012714570500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012714570900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Lumache blew a strong Blizzard on the nasty dragons. That's the power you gain from staying in the fridge for far too long.

2025012714571500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, since you told me you are a Dragon trainer long long time ago, all you'll be eating are Blizzards.

2025012714571900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I guess Dragonite will also be using a Yache Berry to weaken Blizzard. It's like eating hotpots in the winter.

2025012714572300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Flygon, on the other hand, didn't take the hit well and just froze over. First point goes to Adige!

2025012714573200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Lumache will be taking a small break and eats her Leftovers. I hope Drayton isn't jealous.

2025012714590600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012714591100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This time, I'll be trying some odd psychic powers with Lasagna. He'll control the gravity and make Dragonite crash.

2025012714591600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012714591800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Darn it! Sceptile is here to blow a Leaf Storm on Lumache. She likes eating fish, not leaves!

2025012714592600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Dragonite went for Tailwind this time, which means Drayton's team will have a faster speed. Now, eating fast doesn't always mean eating good. I thought Drayton would know this.

2025012715002200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

2025012715002600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Lasagna doesn't care about Tailwind, and he'll be slowing Sceptile down with a Thunder Wave. Hahaha, if only you can use your tail to absorb electricity.

2025012715004000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012715004200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rustiche might look electrifying, but landing a critical hit Thunder Punch on it is just unfair.

2025012715004600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Speaking of electrifying, Lasagna's dirty Thunder Wave trick worked well on Sceptile. He is indeed a little prankster now.

2025012715005800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012715010100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Time for Rustiche's revenge! It turned its four mighty arms into Ice Punches and gave Dragonite the worst brain freeze ever.

2025012715012600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Drayton's dragons are probably getting real mad right now, so Lasagna needs to play defense by using Quick Guard to protect the team.

2025012715013000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It doesn't really matter, since Dragonite is frozen solid. Combing with the strong gravity we set up, its ice cube should just explode.

2025012715013600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012715013800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sceptile then chopped Lasagna with X-Scissor. Too bad our Quick Guard couldn't save us from annoying bug moves, but Lasagna still hanged on.

2025012715014100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rustiche gave Dragonite another round of Ice Punch, and all it did was to turn Dragonite's blood into a cup of punch.

2025012715015400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh no, every time we see Haxorus, something bad is going to happen. It's probably just trying to eat my Pokemon with its tusks.

2025012715021000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I think a paralyzed dragon is less threatening than a completely healthy one. Let's try Thunder Wave again.

2025012715022600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Here it goes. Haxorus struck everyone around with Earthquake, even though that means Sceptile is also getting hurt. Brutal.

2025012715022800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012715023200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rustiche took a huge chunk of health, and Lasagna bit the last straw of his spaghetti. Not a good turn for us.
 
2025012715024000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rustiche is the next one to eat an X-Scissor, but at least it took the hit quite well thanks to its steel armor.

2025012715024400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Time for Haxorus to try out Rustiche's Ice Punch. How does it feel to be shocked and frozen at the same time?

2025012715024700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012715024900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

We lost our Reflect, while Drayton lost his Tailwind. I guess we're back to square one now. Things can go back really quickly then.

2025012715031800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Obviously, if we want to stand a chance against Drayton's dragons, we need to bring our fairy girl, Farfalline, out. She's here to break some molds and some dragon tails.

2025012715033900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012715034000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalline's Moonblast is just unstoppable. Haxorus couldn't even that up and got sent to the moon.

2025012715035100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I suppose that means Rustiche will be punching Sceptile with icy fists this time, even though it is not a dragon.

2025012715035900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh no! I fell for Drayton's Weakness Policy. I knew things are going too well for our team!

2025012715040700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sceptile this time got to use its X-Scissor with boosted attacks. Fortunately, Farfalline still does not care much about that move.

2025012715041400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I need Farfalline to stay in the field for as long as possible, so she'll be using her Leftovers to heal her wounds.

2025012715041700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The gravity has returned to normal, even though it didn't really affect that much at the end.

2025012715045700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Good! Sceptile is probably planning something bad, so I'm glad it got interrupted by its paralysis.

2025012715050400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I feel like Rustiche gets washed away by Water-type moves a lot. Well, this time, it fainted to a Hydro super-Pump from Kingdra.

2025012715051300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalline will be punishing Sceptile this time, even though it isn't a real dragon. Yeah, its sin is pretending to be a dragon.

2025012715053900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Drayton sent out his final Pokemon, which is ... a bridge building? What?

2025012715063700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

As expected, Drayton will be going all-out with his ace Pokemon. I knew he would Terastallize his bridge monster.

2025012715070800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

2025012715071400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Which is why I also took advantage of the Tera power and gave Cappelletti a third eye on her hat! She looks gorgeous with that.

2025012715071600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm glad Kingdra isn't pumping water anymore, but why is it using Rain Dance? I thought Drayton likes it snowing.

2025012715072200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Our Tera jewels are shining so bright I think we'll need to block the lights with Light Screen.

2025012715072700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012715073200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I was right! Archaludon blasted Farfalline with a Flash Cannon. She would've been a goner if it weren't for that screen.

2025012715073500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012715073700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cappelletti might've turned into a pure Psychic-type Pokemon, but she can still very much use her Dazzling Gleam to blind our foes.

2025012715073900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Archaludon gladly took the hit and built up some Defense thanks to its Stamina. I gotta be careful about that.

2025012715082100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, Farfalline was already heavily worn-out last round, so it should not be surprising to see her go after taking another hit.

2025012715083100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012715083300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Arachaludon then aimed at Cappelletti with its Flash Cannon. I knew it's a good idea to remove her Fairy power for a while.

2025012715083500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh crud! Cappelletti took a Special Defense drop from that, which means she'll be taking more next time.

2025012715083900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

We should focus on we can do first, which is to dazzle our foes again. Kingdra has been safely removed.

2025012715091000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012715091400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Darn it! The downside of Terastallizing is that Cappelletti is now vulnerable to Dragon Pulse. At least she's still hanging on.

2025012715092500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

She even got to chew on her Sitrus Berry. She's so calm even in a dire situation like this.

2025012715092800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012715093800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, Cavatelli has been waiting this entire battle, but all he needs to do is to blow Archaludon away with some Clear Smog.

2025012715095600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012715102800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Yay! I finally beat Drayton, which means I have cleared the entire BB League. Does that make me an official member now? How does this work?

2025012715104000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

First things first, I need to take a photo evidence with Drayton. Two Vs for the Vanilla Ice Cream we'll be eating after this.

2025012715110200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012715110900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Drayton gave me a TM of Dragon Cheer for my hard work. I heard that using this move will make your apples ripen faster. Should I try?

2025012715112300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Duh, stupid me. Of course I'll need to take care of the champion after beating the Elite Four. That's how it worked in Paldea, too.

2025012715112900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012715114700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Which means my next opponent will be Kieran, the upgraded onion Kieran everyone is so scared of.

2025012720274800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Why does everyone ask me if I'm friends with Kieran? If you have a crush on him, you should just tell him.

2025012720280000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720282200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I'm also a witness of Kieran's dramatic change. Will this Champion fight settle all of these down? I don't know.

2025012720292100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

But an announcement has been made notifying everyone about this match. Uh-oh, does that mean the entire school will be watching us?

(Sorry to leave you hanging here right before the big fight, but I'll be taking a break! I'll be back next week when I have time, bye!)
 
2025012720295400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This is the moment we've all be waiting for. I'll have to face Kieran to see who the strongest trainer in Blueberry Academy is.

2025012720301000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

If I win, I'll officially be the bluest berry of the academy. Of course, I'll try my best to earn that title.

2025012720303100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720303400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This is the big battle, and we're both using our absolute aces. Let's see how Spirali and Rustiche handle a dragon and a frog.

2025012720304200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Kieran is not going down easily, but I'll need to defeat him to join Leif's association.

2025012720304400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The Blueberry Academy is a land full of crazy weathers, so it shouldn't be surprising to see Kieran summon rain in our big fight.

2025012720313500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

2025012720314400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

To kick off our grand battle, Spirali casted a chilling Icy Wind, which hit Dragonite for big damage except that isn't the main point.

2025012720314900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Icy Wind didn't exactly freeze Dragonite over, but it was cold enough to slow the dragon down.

2025012720315200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720315600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And then Rustiche gave Dragonite an Ice Punch. Dragonite has been safely removed before it can even blink.

2025012720320200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720320400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Politoed isn't just going to sit around and clap all day. It used Weather Ball to soak Spirali up. I guess it wants some steamed pork loin.

2025012720320900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Weather Ball was boosted by the rain, so Spirali had a hard time eating that up. Don't worry, he's still fine.

2025012720321700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

In fact, Spirali even got his Leftovers ready to recover some of his health. This is gonna be a long battle, trust me.

2025012720322700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

What? Kieran has a flaming tiger on his team now? That's intimidating, not that Rustiche cares.

2025012720330700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Incineroar is clearlyl here to give us nasty close combats, so Spirali needs to put up a Reflect before it's too late.

2025012720331200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720331600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rustiche's fists can adapt to different elemental powers if it wants. Now that's what a supercomputer should do.

2025012720331900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Welp, Politoed ate its Wacan Berry to weaken our Thunder Punch. Not sure how it works, but eating electric-proof fruits has got to be good for your health, right?

2025012720332400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720332600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Uh-oh. Incineroar isn't just a regular tiger. It's a mean evil tiger. It immediately sends Spirali away with a Darkest Lariat.

2025012720333800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720334600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rustiche is the next one to get blasted by some drizzling Weather Balls. It didn't quite turn to rust yet, thanks to its juicy Sitrus Berry.

2025012720345000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720345200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I need something to take care of Incineroar, so I thought maybe I'll fight evil with my own evil squid girl, Calamarata.

2025012720345400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Calamarata became even stronger after slamming the wrestling tiger. HA! Have a taste of your Superpower.

2025012720350300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A good wrestler always has their food ready in the pocket, so I don't blame Kieran for stuffing a Sitrus Berry on Incineroar.

2025012720350700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rustiche needs to zap Politoed with Thunder Punch again. Even though there is no Wacan Berry to absorb the shock, Politoed still didn't go down. Darn it.

2025012720351100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720351200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Incineroar doesn't want to face Calamarata 1-on-1, so it went against Rustiche with its Darkest Lariat this time. What a coward.

2025012720352400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720352600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

What the heck! Calamarata ate a Weather Ball from Politoed and almost got knocked out. I thought she would like the rainy weather, but I guess not.

2025012720353300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Luckily for us, Calamarata still has her Sitrus Berry ready, and she still can muscle through with her super strength.

2025012720362600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720363000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, we should leave the rest to the professional fighter. Farfalle came in and quickly disposed of Incineroar with a clean Sacred Sword.

2025012720363700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720363800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Since Incineroar's gone, the only face remaining for Calamarata to slam with is Politoed, which actually took the hit.

2025012720364000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

At least Calamarata got a great workout and is bulking up. That is how you make chewy calamari rings.

2025012720364800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720365000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Too bad Calamarata still went down to a Weather Ball. That critical hit was not necessary, but it's pissing me off.

2025012720371900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I sent in Farfalline next to support her knight, while Kieran has a weird duckling up next.

2025012720374500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Politoed gave up on its attacks this time and instead chose to help Porygon-Z out. I don't like where this is going.

2025012720375300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720375500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalle was trying to ambush Porygon-Z for a sword attack, but the twisty duckling got the upper hand and blew Farfalle away with a hyper Hyper Beam. Oops.

2025012720380100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Is that really necessary? At least that means Porygon-Z would be losing health after using attacks.

2025012720380400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It's perhaps too late now, but we still need Farfalline to cover our team with a Light Screen.

2025012720380900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Great, the rain is finally gone, which means that I can use my trump card, le picnic table.

2025012720384500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ravioli is our last hope already, and I'm glad Porygon-Z is too tired to blast her away.
 
2025012720384700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720384900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I think Politoed has overstayed its welcome, and it's about time Farfalline Moonblasts the frog away.

2025012720385900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ravioli doesn't have the crazy power of Porygon-Z, but her Hyper Voice still did some damage on the twisting duck.

2025012720390100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh no. We lost our Reflect. Let's hope that Kieran doesn't have another wrestling tiger to send out.

2025012720390600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I guess my wish has been satisfied. But I seriously doubt a hairy monster is any better.

2025012720392500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

See? I told you Grimmsnarl isn't better to deal with. It immediately set up a Reflect. Hmm, do I have any ways to work around that?

2025012720393200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720393300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Gosh darn it! I was hoping Farfalline would be able to take a Hyper Beam after her Light Screen, but of course Porygon-Z has to land a critical hit and blow through our screen!

2025012720394400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720394800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ravioli is our only team member left, and she needs to eat something to thrive. She tore Porygon-Z with her Psychic Fangs, and guess what? Their Reflect is also gone now.

2025012720395500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Kieran has the number advantage over me now, but I'm not giving up yet, as long as Ravioli still has the energy to gobble some fruits.

2025012720400500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, perfect, right when we start to starve, Kieran sends out his apple dragon. Except this apple dragon seems taller than we last met it.

2025012720401700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720403500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Woah! Kieran's apple dragon grew several new heads. Does that mean it produces sweeter apple juice too? Oh, and also the Fighting Tera.

2025012720403800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720404000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

HAHAHA! Grimmsnarl thought it can catch Ravioli off-guard with Sucker Punch, but she is always alert with her Armor Tail! Who's the sucker now?

2025012720404400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Since Hydrapple has been Terastallized into Fighting-type, Ravioli's Psychic Fangs is extra effective on those apple meat. Yum yum.

2025012720405400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720405500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I must stay careful though, as Hydrapple will be using Fickle Beam to damage Ravioli, and I can't afford to lose her.

2025012720410600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Really? Even though Kieran saw Ravioli tear through Reflect last time, he still had his Grimmsnarl use it again.

2025012720411200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720411300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Argh! So close! Ravioli's Psychic Fangs were super effective on Hydrapple but not quite enough. We still need a last bite!

2025012720411800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Phew. At least Ravioli managed to take another Fickle Beam. I suppose Hydrapple isn't in the mood of killing giraffes.

2025012720412600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This is gonna be tough, and Ravioli needs to calm her nerves by eating her Sitrus Berry. Mmm, much better now.

2025012720412900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Uh-oh. We also lost our Light Screen, which means that Fickle Beam is going to hurt a lot more now.

2025012720413400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sure, go ahead. Grimmsnarl can keep setting up Reflect, since that won't block Psychic Fangs at all.

2025012720414000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720414700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Yup! One more Psychic Fangs, and Hydrapple has been crushed into apple sauce. Now it's a single battle.

2025012720415900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Grimmsnarl is still using Reflect, but this time Ravioli won't be able to chew that away.

2025012720420400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Instead, Ravioli would need to use Hyper Voice, if she wants to hurt Grimmsnarl at all.

2025012720421500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

We still have time though, as Grimmsnarl relies so much on its Sucker Punch ploy, but it just doesn't work here.

2025012720422100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The real sucker punch Kieran didn't see coming is the fact that Ravioli has Iron Head to hit Grimmsnarl with.

2025012720423000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720423400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Yup, it seems like Kieran's stubbornness on Sucker Punch is going to come back and bite, while Ravioli continues to sing her Hyper Voice.

2025012720424500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

HAHAHA! Kieran probably doesn't have anything else to use, so he just gave up his Grimmsnarl to Ravioli!

2025012720424700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

With Grimmsnarl gone, Ravioli is the last one standing, which means ...

2025012720425700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I won! I beat Kieran in the champion battle. Oh snap, that makes ME the new champion then?

2025012720431800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Uh-oh. I was too focused in the battle, and I didn't quite imagine what would happen next. It seems like Kieran is the same way too.

2025012720433200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720435300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The Blueberry Elite Four, on the other hand, know what they are doing, as Drayton comes and taunts Kieran after seeing the results.

2025012720441100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720441400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

He also congratulated my new champion status and gave me a gift Master Ball. I was expecting something better, like a free Academy Special.

2025012720442500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720442700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Meanwhile, Kieran is still having a hard time accepting his defeat. Um, can we have multiple champions, like what they do in Paldea?

2025012720443800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

As expected, Drayton's taunts did not work well in soothing Kieran's emotions. *sigh* He needs to do more Emotional Spectrum Practice.

2025012720452600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720453300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Lacey seems to disagree with me being the new champion, because she's a sore loser and still hates me for beating her in the Coastal Biome. Well, screw you too.

2025012720455300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012720460000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, great. We still need to settle all these businesses, and now Ms. Briar is calling us too. What more is awaiting us?
 
2025012721214200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I don't know why Ms. Briar called us to the classroom. I don't assume she is taking us to a lunch buffet.

2025012721220300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Erm ... thanks Ms. Briar, but please don't make this conversation awkward. Kieran is right next to me.

2025012721222200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012721223700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Woah! Ms. Briar actually managed to get access to Area Zero. This is like having her wish grant true by some magic genie.

2025012721225800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012721231200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

We were told there are guests accompanying Ms. Briar, but I wasn't expecting Ms. Geeta and Ms. Rika! That's actually who I need to talk to!

2025012721234400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

That's right. I think Nemona told Ms. Geeta everything that happened in Area Zero. I hope all the future Pokemon would be gone by now.

2025012721240700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I want to ask Ms. Geeta flavor, so it's better to say yes to everything, otherwise she might not let me join Leif's association.

2025012721241600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012721243700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Drayton would be a strong ally to have, but he declined the offer, which means we will be forming a team of four for this expedition.

2025012721273900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012721275400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh yes, Ms. Geeta. I have been doing my, wink wink, Paldea Champion best by being a great Pokemon trainer, obviously.

2025012721281500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ms. Rika, on the other hand, gave me a hard time because we went into Area Zero without permissions. Oops.

2025012721283600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012721285100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm glad Ms. Geeta is here to save my ass, and I'll be going to Area Zero in an official trip this time.

2025012721290300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012721290500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ms. Geeta also gave me a mysterious disk as a gift. Now, I'd prefer a basket of ham and buns, since I'll be making sandwiches for four people.

2025012721295300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

She doesn't even know what purposes the disk serves. Here's hoping it plays cooking videos when inserted in a computer.

2025012721295900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hey, if Ms. Geeta wants some, I'll pick up some potato salad any time of the day. Too bad those things won't store very well on the plane back here.

2025012721301300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hmm, I think if I perform my Champion duty, Ms. Geeta would trust me to help Leif run his association. So, let's make sure we have a safe trip first.

2025012721461200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012721470000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I've always been flying between Paldea and Unova, but this time I got to travel with my classmates. Oh, and my teacher too.

2025012721472000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012721473600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I suppose I'll be taking the lead for our adventure, since I'm the only one who've been to this place. Well, let's see, we'll need to fry some fillets in case we get ambushed by iron penguins again.

2025012721480300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012721480900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Huh, I thought I already found the deepest part of Area Zero where Professor Turo was hiding, but Ms. Briar insists the existence of somewhere even deeper.

2025012721485000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Anyways, it's time to bring Sorprese out, since he wasn't on the team I last came here. Enjoy the view, darling!

2025012721524200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wait, now that Carmine mentions it, this place does look similar to the Crystal Pool, which means Sorprese is gonna enjoy this place even more!

2025012721531300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012722024000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hold on, last time I was here, we went on a mission to visit research stations first. Since we didn't do that today, I can't go into the lab!

2025012722030700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012722033600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It turns out the Indigo Disk unlocks the lab as well. I'm extremely disappointed by the fact that no food videos are stored in the disk.

2025012722311100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ms. Briar is so excited she ran over all the random documents like a child. It doesn't matter though, since the professor is, you know, gone.

2025012722314300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Naturally, if we want to reach somewhere deeper, we'll need the elevator, which is where AI professor talked to me.

2025012722322100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012722324500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Um ... I don't remember the elevator going this fast. It feels like someone used Gravity on us. Is that you, Lasagna?

2025012722330000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012722332500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh no, I think Ms. Briar has lost all her senses. If we rode the elevator down, of course we are deeper than where we were. Even I can figure that one out.

2025012722334600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012722335300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ms. Briar took a look at Professor Turo's diary, and he seemed to have found a slumbering treasure. Sleeping does give you strong psychic powers, so this treasure might be psychic.

2025012722342200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The treasure apparently has something to do with a Stellar type. Maybe Stelline would be able to tell us more about that? She loves watching stars.
 
2025012722350100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Enough about reading someone else's diary, let's see what this secret treasure is. I hope it's an extra big bowl of ramen noodles.

2025012722383800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, we'll have to earn our treasure lunch, since there are giant crystals blocking our way. I haven't eaten in two hours, and I don't have the strength to push this crystal.

2025012722385900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Instead, it seems like there is a glowing Glimmora guarding the crystal. Think we might need to do some quick battling.

2025012722395400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hold on, I've seen several Glimmora before, and none of them have a crown of Skittles on their heads! What is going on?

2025012722402900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012722403300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Glimmora used its Skittles crown to power up its Sludge Wave. So, does this work like a Tera-Poison Jewel?

2025012722404600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012722405000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Except Glimmora can also use the crown to charge up Power Gem. How is Sorprese supposed to take the hits if every move is boosted?

2025012722412300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Glimmora is now using Acid Amor to melt itself, and I'm glad that wasn't boosted by the Skittles.

2025012722412800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hmm, just like a regular Glimmora, this Skittles Glimmora is also weak to High Horsepower. Interesting.

2025012722413800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Glimmora is using Power Gem again, but it ran out of Skittles juice, and the move was not boosted this time.

2025012722414300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012722420400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

At least Ravioli's High Horsepower eventually gets the job done. Now get this cauliflower out of my face.

2025012722421800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Our theory was right. Defeating the Skittles Glimmora is the key to open the crystal gate. Great, that means I'll be doing more battling.

2025012722422900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ms. Briar checked her notes again and explained what's going on with that Glimmora. Turns out it wasn't wearing Skittles as jewels.

2025012722430400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It actually has the Stellar Tera-type that Professor Turo found out. Seems like it is quite the powerful Tera-type, uh-oh.

2025012722482300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Carbink is such an adorable Pokemon sometimes I wish I'm a Sableye who eats Carbink for three meals a day.

2025012722563000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Of course, we made through one door to find another door blocking the way. Does that mean I'll have to find another Gimmora to battle with?

2025012722583500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nope, never mind. I found a Skittles Noivern this time. Does that make it a fruit bat? Maybe I should ask Leif about that.

2025012722584200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012722584600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

As Ms. Briar explained, Noivern can now power up its Hurricane for exactly one time. Luckily, Conchiglie can adapt to bad weather easily.

2025012722585000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012722585500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And since the Stellar Tera-type does not change Noivern's weaknesses to coldness, one Ice Beam is all we need to take care of the bat dragon.

2025012722593100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hey, I'm so glad my friend is in charge of calling me, while I'm in charge of all the hard battling work. Really fair.

2025012723030200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You know how it is, another crystal rock means another Skittles monster to fight.

2025012723053200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723054100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wait, is that Iron Thorns with the Skittles crown? As if Paradox Pokemon aren't scary enough. Imagine if Iron Bundle can the Stellar type.

2025012723055300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723055400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Don't worry. Orecchiette's smooth kicking and headbutting moves make sure Iron Thorns rusts in this cave.

2025012723061700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723065400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sure, thanks Ms. Briar for acknowledging my hard work. You know, I really wanted Mr. Saguaro take up this class instead.

2025012723080100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Apparently, Ms. Briar's Tera-meter is recording an overwhelming amount of Tera energy. Is something going to explode now?

2025012723081100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Some people never change. Carmine is asking me to do all the surfing work, just like what she did in the Crystal Pool.

2025012723090900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I didn't even know wild Garganacl live in the deepest part of Area Zero, let alone one that is seasoned by Skittle candies.

2025012723091700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Just like Farfalle, Caramelle is also a proud user of Sacred Sword. I guess the sword technique wasn't really that sacred after all.

2025012723092300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723092700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

As a Pokemon that lived in the mountainous part of the Area Zero, Caramelle is surprisingly weak to Earthquake. Yikes.

2025012723093800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, we just needed one more sword to cut the salty rock wide open. Gotta fill my salt bottle now.

2025012723102200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And it's now time for Kieran to call me. You know, maybe the ex-champion of the BB League would be fine battling wild Pokemon as well?

2025012723283400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Kieran is very excited to rush to the next room. I wonder if he also wants the bowl of ramen noodles.

2025012723284700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Carmine actually has been battling wild Pokemon as well, and she only had Sinistcha to pour out hot matcha tea if we get thirsty. Thanks, pal.

2025012723291000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Suddenly, our Tera Orbs are all glowing. I think it's a sign of the orbs getting overcooked. We might be next.

2025012723302000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Finally, a room without crystals in the way. What kind of evil can be awaiting us in such a nice-looking cave?
 
2025012723303700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Kieran immediately went to the big crystal, and he seems to be pulling something out. Hold on, what is going on?

2025012723304300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723304600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh no, I didn't know that Kieran hates me that much. Maybe I should've bought him some Kalosian fries when we were in the cafeteria.

2025012723310800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Maybe I should've just let Kieran win the Champion battle. Screw it, I should ask Drayton if it's too late to quit the club.

2025012723311400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Meanwhile, Ms. Briar is trying her best to support Kieran. What a loving teacher she is.

2025012723313300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723315500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

After pulling for so long, Kieran finally took the treasure, which turned into a blue turtle. What kind of treasure is that?

2025012723321100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723323400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Right when turtle boy was about to come to me, Kieran threw a Master Ball and caught it. Everyone's happy now? Can we leave?

2025012723324300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ms. Briar is excited to see Terapagos's power, so Kieran is totally going to use the turtle against his sister, right?

2025012723340100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723340900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh what? Why am I the victim of his demonstration? I didn't volunteer for this.

2025012723342800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Is it just me or does Terapagos look different now? I guess its mysterious power is that it can take different forms.

2025012723344100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Really? Terapagos knows Zen Headbutt. Does that mean it is a psychic turtle? Darn it, maybe I should've tried catching it as well.

2025012723344700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723345100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Huh? I thought using Sacred Sword to slice through the turtle shell would be a good idea, but it was actually not very effective. Weird.

2025012723345700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Stop bullying Farfalle with Zen Headbutt! Just because he doesn't use his head to attack doesn't mean he's not zen enough.

2025012723350000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalle tried his mighty Sacred Sword, and he did so much damage this time. What kind of bizarre power is this?

2025012723351400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I agree, this battle with Terapagos has been quite underwhelming. It really isn't too different from fighting a Torkoal, except without the flames.

2025012723354100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, Farfalle probably can't take too many hits, so let's see if Caramelle can use its homefield advantage to show Terapagos who's the boss.

2025012723354500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Terapagos was trying to slam Farfalle with Zen Headbutt, but Caramelle managed to take the hit quite well.

2025012723355100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Caramelle also practices a lot with its Sacred Sword, but alas, its blade isn't as sharp as Farfalle's.

2025012723355500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723355600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Darn it! Kieran knows Zen Headbutt won't hurt Caramelle, so he switched to Earth Power and did a ton of damage to Caramelle.

2025012723360400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

We are quite prepared for this though, and that means Caramelle has its Sitrus Berry ready for this big battle.

2025012723361000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723361700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

One more chop and Terapagos has its shell cut wide open. Is this it? Is everyone finally satisfied now?

2025012723363900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723365100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ms. Briar was not happy to see how that battle turns out, and she thinks that Terapagos might gain more power with a Terastallization.

2025012723370600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723370900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Being a good boy student, Kieran listened to what Ms. Briar said and boom, Terapagos is glowing and glowing and glowing ...

2025012723373500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Umm, I've Terastallized my Pokemon several times, and they don't usually glow this much. Maybe the Terastal energy is a little TOO high.

2025012723375100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Terapagos shot Kieran with a Tera beam, and luckily, Miraidon is here to save the day. I'm here to perform my Champion duty, after all.

2025012723380200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

We asked Kieran to retreat Terapagos, since it is getting out of control, but even his Master Ball didn't do anything to the rainbow turtle.

2025012723383100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh no, we're in danger. Clearly, Kieran and Ms. Briar are going to clean up this mess, since they are the ones responsible for this, right?
 
2025012723384700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh no, Terapagos doesn't just wear a Skittles crown around its shell, but it is also protected by a barrier now.

2025012723385300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

We'll need to beat it down like a Tera raid boss. But first things first, let us take the time to drink some hot matcha tea.

2025012723390700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sinistcha sprinkled all its matcha powder on the ground, which made me rage because you shouldn't play with your drinks.

2025012723391300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723391900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

What the heck is that? Terapagos just summoned a rainbow meteor and destroyed our Pokemon. Screw this, I'm not a dinosaur.

2025012723392700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Thank lord that Starstorm didn't burn Farfalle's Figy Berry, and he managed to find the time to sip some berry juice.

2025012723393100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Since Terapagos is under the protection of its Tera wall, Farfalle's Leaf Blade ends being as sharp as the leaves they put on sashimi dishes.

2025012723394600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ms. Briar suggested us to Terastallize our Pokemon to break through the barrier. No way that tactic would backfire at all, right?

2025012723400400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723400800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Terapagos rained on us with another Tera Starstorm, and Carmine lost her only Pokemon. Does that mean I need to do this all by myself?

2025012723402000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

For some reasons, I can't Terastallize Farfalle, which means we'll still need to use the weak Leaf Blade for minimum damage.

2025012723404300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalle was already heavily worn down in the Kieran fight, and he got blown away by yet another Tera Starstorm.

2025012723413000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723414300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I need to send in Caramelle next, so I must as well Terastallize it for bigger damage.

2025012723415000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

There we go! Caramelle unleashed an ultra strong Psycho Cut, which did so much to Terapagos, finally.

2025012723415700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723415800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

HAHAHA! Caramelle doesn't care about Zen Headbutt, since its own headbutt is also charged with zen power.

2025012723420700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

What? Caramelle's second Psycho Cut did a lot but wasn't enough to remove the barrier. That isn't fair!

2025012723421600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Goodbye, Caramelle. You did great here, but I guess futuristic Pokemon are also getting wiped out by meteor storms.

2025012723425100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'll need to send in Conchiglie next. I'm sure he can come up with something smart against this sea turtle.

2025012723425600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

2025012723430000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

That sounds right. Using Surf on an aquatic creature would definitely do the job. Anyways, Terapagos is finally gone now.

2025012723430600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723431500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, come on! I did all of those for nothing! Terapagos stole our Tera energy and built another barrier around itself. I'm so tired of this already.

2025012723434600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723435500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Luckily, Conchiglie is still hanging on tight. He just ate that Tera Starstorm like he eats honey stars on his cereals. And a Sitrus Berry for extra topping, too.

2025012723435800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It seems like Terapagos refuses to go down easily, so we need Light Screen protection against future meteor showers.

2025012723441000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Darn it, Terapagos is not letting us breathe. Conchiglie is now struggling to take more Tera Starstorm on his head.

2025012723441500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723441800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Weird. Conchiglie blasted a Shadow Ball on the turtle, and it turns out super effective. Don't tell me Terapagos really is a Psychic-type Pokemon.

2025012723443100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Doesn't matter now. Conchiglie eventually fell to another Tera Starstorm. He already did good though.

2025012723455200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723455700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's switch to someone who can take things quickly. Pappardelle blinded Terapagos with a Lumina Crash and lowered its Special Defense! That's a great start.

2025012723460500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hang on there, Pappardelle! We need you to push through and shine once again.

2025012723461100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Pappardelle isn't doing enough damage on her own. Maybe I should Terastallize her for a bigger hit.

2025012723463300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723464200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I think Pappardelle is already one of the brightest stars on the team, but let's make her even more brilliant with a third eye on her hair. Yeah.

2025012723464500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723464900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It's unfortunate Pappardelle's Lumina Crash was not very effective on Terapagos, and we are still only halfway through breaking its shield.

2025012723470800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nope. Pappardelle shines bright for two seconds and immediately got sent to the shadow realm by another Tera Starstorm.

2025012723471600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

To make matters worse, we even lost our Light Screen. How do I even stop this darn turtle?
 
2025012723475200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723475400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

If no one else can finish the job, I always trust that Farfalline would be able to clean things up. That's right, a Moonblast should go well against the starry monster.

2025012723480100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Come on, how many Tera Starstorms can this thing throw at us? Aren't you bored of using the same move so many times?

2025012723481000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I hope that Farfalline would be able to take a few hits, and she'll need to eat her Leftovers to stay healthy.

2025012723482200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Argh! Are there any ways I can stop this Starstorm? I can't just sit here and let my Pokemon get bombed.

2025012723482700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalline will be using another Moonblast to weaken Terapagos's shield. I hope that buys us enough time to charge my Tera Orb.

2025012723484900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723490400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Good news, Farfalline was powered up by a brilliant Terastallization. Bad news, she fell to Tera Starstorm immediately after.

2025012723493300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rotelle is my final Pokemon, so I hope he can take a few Tera Starstorms with his giant noggin.

2025012723493900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723494700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

There we go! My theory is right, and Terapagos really is a Psychic-type Pokemon. That allows Rotelle to Bug Buzz the shield away. Good job.

2025012723495100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

But of course, Terapagos just won't go down. It absorbed our Terastal energy again. Great.

2025012723502900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

At least we've successfully convinced Kieran to help me out in this fight. Two is better than one, right?

2025012723503500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ah yes! Kieran's Hydrapple releases a supersweet aroma on the field, which at least makes me more energized.

2025012723504200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Woah, I'm so excited. Terapagos summoned another barrier to protect itself. Can't wait to do all these stuffs again.

2025012723510400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723511000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Terapagos's Tera Starstorm is now doubly effective, since it can aim at both our Pokemon together.

2025012723511900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Come on, Rotelle. I need you to stay healthy no matter what, even if you need to pop all the Figy Berries in my bag.

2025012723512300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hydrapple threw a Syrup Bomb at Terapagos and turned its shield sticky. I'm actually a little bit jealous, since I also want some sweet syrup.

2025012723512900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723513200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rotelle switches to using Struggle Bug as a way to nerf Terapagos. Turns out Terapagos isn't weak to pesty bugs anymore.

2025012723513500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

That bought us some time, as Terapagos is now slowed down by the Syrup Bomb. I, too, would be distracted if I'm surrounded by syrup bottles.

2025012723514700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Terapagos went with another Tera Starstorm, but do not worry, we still have this.

2025012723515200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Syrup Bomb seems to be doing well, so Hydrapple uses that move again. That is like an extra serving of breakfast.

2025012723515700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723515900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rotelle went with another Struggle Bug for another Special Attack nerf on Terapagos. (Note: I now realize Tera Starstorm changes to a physical move after all these Special Attack drops, making the nerfs useless.)

2025012723521000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723521700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Go team go! Hydrapple cheered Rotelle up, and now he's getting pumped. Maybe he'll start doing more damage with his moves.

2025012723522000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rotelle then unleashed his full power and landed a super effective Energy Ball. Well, that was still not enough to finish the turtle.

2025012723523100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012723523500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It was fun playing the hero, but at the end of the day, Terapagos still defeated me. Time to let this rainbow turtle take over the entire world.

2025012723524100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh no, I'm starting to see stars now. What is happening to me?

2025012815294300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hold on, did I just time travel to thirty minutes ago? Hey, Kieran, stop fighting me, your turtle is a monster!

2025012815301000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, of course, Kieran won't listen to me. Is history just going to repeat itself by letting Terapagos stomp all over us?

2025012815302600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012815302800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Guess what? I already know what is going to happen, and I think starting the fight with Orecchiette might be a better idea.

2025012815303100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Orecchiette is now getting hit by Earth Power, which sucks but is still million times better than Tera Shitstorm.

2025012815303800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hi-yah! Orecchiette found Terapagos's one weakness by High Jump Kicking on its shell.

2025012815305500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012815305800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, come on! Terapagos is still doing so much damage with Earth Power, and I absolutely despise that Special Defense drop.

2025012815310600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Still, I need to buy as much time as possible, so I put a Sitrus Berry on Orecchiette just in case he gets hurt.

2025012815311100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2025012815311600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

One more High Jump Kick will finish the job. Now, if only Terapagos stays defeated and does not do anything crazy.

2025012815320600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oops, it's too late now, and Kieran is Terastallizing his turtle once again. This is like a nightmare that never ends.

2025012815325900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Why bother send me back to the past, if I can't even change anything? Guess I'll be doing all the battling by myself, just like last time.
