I decided to enter the house in and then I saw an old person. I made conversation with him asking who I am and he told he's name is Grandpa Arthur. I was asked if I know something about Borrius' history, which if you haven't played this game, pls play it to understand what's happening here.
Jax, Grandpa Arthur's grandson, suddenly storms in the house, and tells us that
Team Shadow is going to kidnap the Moltres above the
Cinder Volcano and tried to contact Prof. Log. Making things short, Prof. Log assign me to stop
Team Shadow for their "wrong-doings".
Then, as usual, buying important supplies on Pokemart, and go straight to
Cinder Volcano to continue this heroic story.
But first, I collected some encounters in these new routes and locations:
- Grim Woods - Caterpie that I named him 'Midra'
- Route 4 - Lillipup that I named her 'Chicory' (She's quite of a happy dog.)
- Cinder Volcano - Magby that I named him 'Ekraust' (Saw him just bathing in lava for no reason.)
I setback for a bit to prepare my Pokemon to the next Major Battle of this run, the
Shadow Admin Marlon, yes the one with the black and red outfit. It's a forced double battle. While
Marlon and a Shadow Grunt on the opposing side, Me and Jax battle against them to stop them for kidnapping Moltres. These two will stall you with super-bulky ghosts that Will-O-Wisps you, dangerous plants that's trying to beat you up, and heart-shaped nose bat. In my past runs, I can't proceed to game unless one(1) Pokemon will
die from them. But, I think can do it without a single one die to them. Right?
I started to trasverse into the volcano, going up above to the peak, beating trainers in my path, and when I'm at the peak, looks like I'm too late.
Team Shadow already got the Moltres.
Yeah, jax. Stop arguing with them, we will beat up the red guy later on.
I decided to join forces with Jax and go down following the tracks of
Team Shadow. He gone straight first to the ground floor, and I stayed planning my three Pokemon to use for the fight:
- Dyson the Crobat (Lead)
- Cervoughn the Gabite
- Subzero the Alolan-Sandshrew
I'll be honest with you, I didn't remember what exactly happened in this fight cause it's in the past moments I played the game, but I'll try.
Beginning of the fight, I let Dyson use Quick Guard to block Fake Out, and Jax's Staravia lowers Attack of Marlon's Duskull. Next turn, Grunt's Sableye maliciously Will-o-Wisps my Crobat. Remembering that, I shouldn't have made him leading the fight for he's going to sweep Shiftry and Cacnea. Nonetheless, I switched to Cervoughn to tank hits to heal Dyson with Burn Heal and Potion, and swipes the face out of Sableye while keeping the health up with Super Potion. Then, Grunt sends out the mischievous tree, Shiftry.
I need to tank hits from this tree and don't waste healing items at its maximum use in battle. So, I send out Subzero to tank hits from it while also keeping up his health with a Lemonade, but Shiftry deal high amount of damage to this blue pipsqueak. Thankfully, Jax's Magnemite uses both Reflect and Light Screen to half the damage from both physical and special attacks.
But, something happened. Marlon switch his Duskull and let out his Cacnea. Together with the Shiftry, their dark branches and thunderous punches decimate Subzero down to zero HP.
That was so freaking sad. Thought after this fight I can evolve him into a huge spiky boi, because of how great he is on the first Gym battle, but I guess the heat from the volcano and from the intense battle melted his own existence out.
That made a great a sacrifice to switch in Dyson to viciously destroy the evil plants in pure anger. With the forces of Jax's Golett, we finally won. (But at what cost...)
That means, another death was occurred. Rest well too, Subzero.
