UPDATE 25: Spamigo, This Is A Sneaking Mission, Get In Lots Of Pokemon Battles.
Last time, we were going to do a daring rescue of the Lake Pokemon that I guess have to admit exist now, but the FIENDS of Team Galactic locked their doors! But no fear, Looker has the door to their warehouse! Why does Looker have the key to their warehouse?
Look the Polizia Internazionale has their methods.
“You are needing to prepare?”
“Mostly I’m surprised you found something.”
Quick Item rundown: Anomalo’s got the Wide Lens still to make his Rock Tombs basically 100% accurate. Mina’s got the Quick Claw back. Dogu has the Mind Plate because extra damage on his Psychics is just gravy. Sid has the Shell Bell now so if I can’t stop him from taking lumps, I can at least let him heal up each time he dishes out a lump. Reina and Castellia don’t have anything because I can’t think of anything to give them. Not going to evolve Reina just yet. But we’re close.
Once we get inside Looker excitedly opens the door.
It’s funny because this is the seventh or eighth time an adult has told us not to endanger ourselves or get involved in the whole Team Galactic thing.
I’d like to imagine that Spamigo’s slightly shaking but still going.
I wonder if this line was the same in the Japanese version. If so, then I’d like to imagine that the writer finished that line, snapped their fingers, and wrote down a note about what they’d do for the plot in the next generation.
This door is locked. Looker didn’t give us the key, either.
I think this is my favorite Grunt in the whole place. “Man, it’s just not fun any more, go ahead if you want.”
But maybe most of these Grunts are feeling uninspired, because a lot of the rotating ones don’t rotate fast enough to catch me sneaking around.
If you remember my story about the Scientist that ended my first Nuzlocke run, you might understand why a Scientist sending a Kadabra out sends an involuntary shiver down my spine.
Even though at this point Castellia’s really got nothing to fear from a Kadabra unless it has, like, Flamethrower.
And Kadabra can’t learn Flamethrower.
The key doesn’t take very long to find but I forgot what I was actually supposed to be doing with it so I end up wandering around in the Galactic base for a while.
One more Croagunk/Toxicroak on the “Anticipation kicked in and it immediately got KO’d.”
Poor grunt. I wonder if he’ll get knocked down to having to use a Purrloin.
Ah yes, I too know how it feels to have marketing push down a list of phrases you should be using on your LinkedIn profile.
I’m back in the front building instead of coming through the storage warehouse because I got that turned around.
You think it’s an evil Team Galactic TV room but actually the same clique of 5 people always take it over during their breaks and put on celebrity gossip. Not even evil celebrity gossip.
This however, clearly looks like an evil book report:
Seems a little unfair that Dialga gets Sunrise, Sunset But Legally Distinct and Palkia gets the full on that which is not dead can ever lie, but what do I know. Maybe Gamefreak had to balance things out because the Dialga topper stylus was cooler looking. Go ahead and fite me people who preordered Pearl.
Well… this looks like an important plot development. Bit of a shorter update today, but we’ll be back with a longer one next time!
