UPDATE 07: THE BATTLE OF THE WINDWORKS
The Team Galactic Commander known as Mars had one question: “How did you get in here?!”
At first Spamigo started to point in the direction of the door, only for Mars to bark “I got that part! That door was supposed to be locked!”
“Oh. Well about that…” Spamigo’s story began.
“First there was the little girl who wanted to see her dad again and guilt-tripped me into coming here.”
“And there was a guy guarding the door, too.”
“He was really annoying.”
“And he locked himself inside after I beat him fair and square, but…”
“He also just told me who had the other key, so. I didn’t need to search.”
Mars slowly turned a glare at that Grunt, who chuckled nervously and tried to back himself further into the corner.
“They were also right where he said they were, so I didn’t have to look around a bunch.”
“The first one wasn’t a challenge.”
“The other one was a real jerk who thought waiting after the other grunt was beaten was going to make his job easier.”
“That sounds like Dave,” Mars huffed. “Nobody likes Dave.”
“He stole my parking spot!” one of the beaten Grunts yelled out.
“Well… Dave wasn’t hard to beat either.”
“Also he dropped the key to the door, too.”
“So I unlocked the door…”
“Your guard ran off to warn you…”
“I beat the other Grunts who were guarding this place…”
“So…” Spamigo’s throat suddenly felt dry. He thought he had something prepared for this moment to sound tough and intimidating, but between the rambling story and Mars’ glare he couldn’t find the words, and just said, “You should get out. I mean, I beat all your grunts.”
“And?” That fact didn’t seem to daunt Mars in the slightest as she pulled a Pokeball from her belt. “Those were grunts, and you’re dealing with me, Mars, one of Team Galactic’s four Commanders. Let me show you just how far we are above the common Grunts, kid. Get ready to run out of here crying, brat!”
Now, you are perfectly free to go ahead and set in your mind as background music the Galactic Commander theme from this very game. However, if you would be interested in alternative offerings, might I suggest GET THEM from the Yakuza 0 soundtrack?
I thought I was going to… your Zubat still has some health bar left?
…Dogu please don’t let this be a pattern.
I’d like to image the Zubat tried to chomp down on Reina and only realized she wasn’t going down like a bag of pottery shards when her little snoot got shoved against its temple. Throw in some one-liner from her like “This may sting a bit.”
Purugly, of course, does not evolve until level 38. After reviewing the facts I have come to endorse the Fat Glameow Theory. Teach the controversy!
It’s fat enough to make Fake Out hurt.
Mina is down to FOUR HITPOINTS before she can even take an action. Her Static kicking in might be the most good she can do.
…It was the most good she can do. I switched to Anomalo here before Mina got knocked out.
Anomalo sees a LOT of lucky Paralysis rolls, but that Purugly’s still scratching him up good and it had an Oran berry to boost its health further. His exoskeleton just can’t stand up to all of that.
But since someone FINALLY decided to learn a STAB move, I have something that could be called an ace in the hole.
Two Bites and that cat finally goes down to take a nap.
…Mina might just keep this for the entire game.
An uppity brat with a dangerous snake.
Charon (the white-haired scientist guy) speaks up but man, screw Charon. His only contribution is to be a condescending jerk to Mars and, spoiler, you never battle Charon in this game. So you have to listen to this jerk going on about how brilliant he is and there’s no chance to beat him. Smug NPCs that you can’t put down are the worst. Looking at you, Miranda.
Stuff like this. Mars hates his guts and honestly I don’t blame her.
But we reunited this little girl with her dad and also Drifloon will start appearing again but I’m not catching one because I won’t be able to use it.
Even though Drifloon/Drifblim are way up there on the list of “Pokemon I’d Like To Use But Haven’t.”

“Well, about that…”
Spamigo pondered just how far he could run before Looker came back outside. It wasn’t as though he was being investigated, right? But Looker came running back outside so the line of thought was moot.
He waved Looker away as the so-called InterPol agent went running off again. But his smile froze and turned hollow when he realized that Eterna was where the next Gym was too.
