UPDATE 26: The Great Big Ghiren Zabi Speech Scene

Hello! When last we left off, we were about to crash Team Galactic’s big evil rally.

“Aren’t, uh… Aren’t we going to get spotted here?”
“I have witnessed never Team Galactic grunts to be particularly observant.”



Before any of you get any ideas nobody siegs a Zeon in my house.

Why didn’t we get caught? Look it’s really clear one side’s the entrance and the other side is the exit and Galactic Grunts aren’t going to mess that up.

“But the astoundingness of the performance confuses with its message. To make a world for Team Galactic and only? And what is it that is incomplete about this world? It is so preposterous and makes my head spin. But have no fear, investigating this matter is a job for the Pulizija Internazzjonali. Of which I am a member. Therefore it is my job to do the investigation here.”


I mean we came all the way to Team Galactic’s evil base, we’re not going to leave now.

…I do not want to know why this sign is necessary.

Doesn’t take long to find Cyrus though!

With all the heroism Spamigo could muster into his voice and Wilhelmina at his side he burst into the room and dramatically yelled, “Cyrus!”




…Harsh but understandable.






So Cyrus is crazy bananas.

And we’re battling now.


This Sneasel really needed to score a crit with its Slash to make Reina feel the attack. And uh, it didn’t.


It’s funny how Cyrus mocks emotions and sentimentality but then has a Pokemon with a happiness-based evolution. Some one missed a trick on the ol’ gameplay-story integration there.


Mina rolls higher on the second Thunderbolt and gets the one-shot in.


Feels like Static has kicked in way more in this run than it has in my other Pokemon runs. But then I suppose this is the longest I’ve used a Pokemon with Static.


Mina also rolls high enough for the one-shot again.


And… Mina’s electric heart of justice, Sid’s ability to bite things, Anomalo mastering the path of the sword, Castellia’s iron bulwarks, Reina’s power over the seas, and Dogu can shoot death beams from his eyes.




Ah yes the part in every Random Team Run when I get the Master Ball and have no use for it either.
What am I catching?






Right now I’d imagine Spamigo is wondering why he couldn’t just have a criminal syndicate to deal with.


…Well this just got Umbrella-y in a hurry.


It probably stings when you tell people there’s no magical Pokemon in the lake and then you see it hooked up in the painmatron.

So let’s rescue it?


Turns out the answer is he hates you!


So, Saturn.

His Golbat gets instantly mind-whammied. But then I spend too long playing with my food, as it were.


I keep forgetting The game keeps bugging out and allowing Psychic moves to hit a Dark/Poison type.

And funnily enough Anomalo’s moveset is all resisted by Toxicroak.

Not that he doesn’t give as good as he’s getting regardless, though. But I mean, it’s a Toxicroak, so we know what must ultimately happen to it.


Note that Dogu came out too late for Anticipation, so don’t actually put this on the Anticipation OHKO chart.


We could talk to Charon here, but Charon’s the worst character in this game, so we’re not.

Push the button, Gordon. Man that video is twelve years old and I still smile thinking about it.


The Lake Pokemon that don’t do exist float forwards and warp away because why would you stay in this creepy mad science lab?
