Day 6: Wherein Joat gets a taste of power. Briefly.
No dream this time, apparently. Now to head out!
|
|
Cherithe: Good morning, Joat! |
Anyway, may as well check our mail.
Huh. Well, okay, then. A rather humble amount of mail.
However, that one mission is not enough. Let’s also check the board to see if there are more jobs in that area. And also pester random people along the way.
|
|
Snubbull: Alakazam’s team has the Gold Rank. Isn’t that awesome? |
Gee, thanks for rubbing it in…
|
|
Snubbull: I guess that’s true. It might be rude to say it… but you obviously look like you really are nothing special. |
GEE, THANKS! Even if it is true…
|
|
Snubbull: It just goes to show how incredibly awesome Alakazam’s team is! |
I think ve may be a bit obsessed…
|
|
Bellsprout: Did you know that a new training gym–I think they called it a dojo–opened in town? |
Huh. Well, interesting.
|
|
Bellsprout: You know how many rescue teams started up? To deal with the natural disasters? Thre was a group of concerned Pokémon… They wanted to support rescue teams. So they got together and built the dojo. You can find the dojo easily. From here, it’s just straight down this path. If you have a rescue team too, I highly recommend you pay the dojo a visit. |
Well, okay, then!
After my other stuff, that is.
|
|
Lombre: Alakazam and his sidekicks were sure cool before. |
They barely DID anything!
|
|
Lombre: That’s how a real hero has to carry himself. |
Well, okay, they did help Jumpluff, but that was more by using their reputation than doing anything. A well-deserved reputation, perhaps, but why not bring up their past acts, then?
|
|
Lombre: By the way… Apparently, it’s been impossible for us to evolve lately. |
Well, at least my current form is adorable, so there’s that.
|
|
Lombre: You know how we Pokémon evolve if conditions are right? But for some reason, we haven’t been able to evolve at all. It’s rumored that the natural disasters are to blame, but… I wonder what’s going on. |
Odd for this to be brought up only now instead of earlier, and in such an easy-to-miss way.
“Rub-a-Dub River”…
|
|
Makuhita: The dojo was founded to support the efforts of rescue teams. Train in different rooms to level up… And toughen up your rescue team. |
Helpful, aye!
|
|
Makuhita: Also… In the Fire Maze you will find only Fire-type Pokémon. In the Water Maze there will be Water-type Pokémon. |
And as for the Schnozberry Maze…
|
|
Makuhita: In such ways, only one type of Pokémon will be in a given room. Study how types match up in battle. The Pokémon in this dojo, by the way, are all volunteers. |
Well, yes, I wasn’t exactly suspecting slave labor in a Pokémon game… outside of particularly uncharitable interpretations of what being a Pokémon trainer entails.
|
|
Makuhita: They are participating because they want to see rescue teams succeed. The only thanks they expect is to see you become stronger. Don’t let them down! There’s more. For a rescue team that successfully completes all training courses… I have a special reward! |
A BRAND NEW CAR!
|
|
Makuhita: Let that compel you to train harder! |
Alright, let’s go ahead and try this!
Hm… Perhaps start easy and go with flying, first. Even if that does nullify my Sand Attack.
|
|
Makuhita: The Flying Maze! Your decision stands! Let the training begin! |
For once, I’m tanking and one-shotting like Cherithe tends to!
If the rest of this maze is anything to go by, I doubt it.
I AM UNSTOPPABLE!
Ow.
|
|
Makuhita: You’ve shown your worth! Without a doubt, you have grown more powerful from your training! |
Well, actually, none of us leveled up in the slightest. Not even Tesla. Who is level 6.
|
|
Makuhita: May this success drive you to train even harder! |
Perhaps later, but for now, time for rescuing!
Where, oh where could Aron be?
Well, that was predictably easy.
For that, we received a Cheri Berry (cures paralysis), 10 Gravelrocks, a Reviver Seed, and 10 rescue points
Okay, I guess.
It’s tomorrow!
Next
