Let's Play Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang

So a life tree... First the thing about causing horror with a life-y thing made me think of Something from X/Y, but then I realized he was talking about messing with a world tree.
And it supports two worlds, eh? You know, there's nine worlds in Norse mythology, but two are underground and five are on ground level. ...Is the E-monster world Alfheim?

I'm just making it weirder.
 
No, the e-monster world is too weird for myths to comprehend.


Part Thirty-Eight: The island, again
Or visiting the one square we haven't been before which contains a whole giant maze, of course.

Well, I guess that's our cue.

Pokemon%20Diamond_15.png

No, not you.

Pokemon%20Diamond_17.png

I know the song 'Stop calling me'!

Pokemon%20Diamond_20.png

So it's not a field, but you still gained points? Go back to your formerly deformed tree.

Pokemon%20Diamond_22.png

There's always a whinger, isn't there?

Pokemon%20Diamond_23.png

Well, let's make the dash to our destination.

Hey, come to think of it, wasn't there a guy standing here before, blocking our path?

Pokemon%20Diamond_29.png

What a lousy looking temple.

Pokemon%20Diamond_30.png

Interior decoration 101.

I don't see any books.

Oh hey, it's a dodo. With spikes.

Pokemon%20Diamond_38.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_39.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_40.png

Standard sort of team here. Let's try and get that dodo by knocking it out last.

Pokemon%20Diamond_41.png

Oh yeah.

This might be a problem. Maybe we'll worry about that when we have someone else in the 50s to fight the level 50 monsters.

Pokemon%20Diamond_42.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_43.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_44.png

I love WARATA's non-sequitur there.

Pokemon%20Diamond_46.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_48.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_49.png

Given it survived a super-effective - I mean, injure increase attack from Not-Sandslash, it's not bad! Just not great either.

Pokemon%20Diamond_50.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_51.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_52.png

Likewise, it took off over half of old-man BANGUP's health here. (In hindsight, that phrase is terrible). But it is at a higher level...

Pokemon%20Diamond_53.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_54.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_55.png

Good work, you did something of use.

Pokemon%20Diamond_56.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_57.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_58.png

Well, at least I don't have to worry too much about him.

Pokemon%20Diamond_59.png

However...

Pokemon%20Diamond_63.png

One more and the fight is in the bag for me.

Pokemon%20Diamond_65.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_66.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_67.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_68.png

Seeing he's going to do similar sort of damage as BANGUP, might as well use a status attack!

...This is terrible in hindsight.

Pokemon%20Diamond_88.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_89.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_90.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_91.png

That's not going to help much. Nor be particularly painful.

Pokemon%20Diamond_92.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_94.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_95.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_96.png

Well, except for you.

Pokemon%20Diamond_97.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_98.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_99.png

Woo!

Pokemon%20Diamond_100.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_101.png

Very good.

Pokemon%20Diamond_102.png

Very rude.

Pokemon%20Diamond_103.png

Right. So, we have a standard lab maze here. Luckily there's no teleporting panels, or really any tricks to this place. It's just a messy maze full of dead ends and battles, and the downside is that isn't terribly interesting in of itself.

Pokemon%20Diamond_104.png

But look at this lil' guy!

Pokemon%20Diamond_105.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_106.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_107.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_108.png

Big on defense.

Pokemon%20Diamond_109.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_110.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_111.png

A lost strategy there.

Pokemon%20Diamond_112.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_113.png

Just to show how little firepower the other guys have, particularly poor WARATA. At least you tried.

Pokemon%20Diamond_114.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_115.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_116.png

That was all there was to see from that stairway. Well, at least it's one stairway down!

Pokemon%20Diamond_117.png

I think it heard about our Propelle.

Pokemon%20Diamond_118.png

O...ouch. Yeah, WARATA is out when we get a third e-monster.

Pokemon%20Diamond_119.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_121.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_122.png

So close!

Pokemon%20Diamond_123.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_124.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_125.png

Minimal healing moves! They really are kind of pointless in this game in the vast majority of cases.

Pokemon%20Diamond_126.png

Alas, he did not want to be our friend.

Now, for the route just to the north of the first one we took!

Pokemon%20Diamond_128.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_131.png

Telefangmazes.jpeg

Pokemon%20Diamond_132.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_133.png

Oh yeah, and the remaining choice leads to 23290 dead ends. Cooool.

Pokemon%20Diamond_134.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_135.png

And plenty of battles too. Why is there a giant hole in the middle of this room in a building though...?

Pokemon%20Diamond_137.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_138.png

It's me!

Pokemon%20Diamond_139.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_140.png

Okay, now let's maybe try and get a dodo-

Pokemon%20Diamond_141.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_142.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_143.png

Oh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_142.png

Well okay then.

Pokemon%20Diamond_144.png

Yep, last we'll see this guy battling for us.

That little hat though!

Pokemon%20Diamond_145.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_146.png

How boring.

Pokemon%20Diamond_147.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_148.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_149.png

That level up provided all the difference.

Pokemon%20Diamond_150.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_151.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_152.png

Ouch.

Pokemon%20Diamond_153.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_154.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_155.png

Huh, how useful of you! WAMITE is trying to stick in the team.

Pokemon%20Diamond_156.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_157.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_158.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_159.png

What is with everyone and using DEFEND?

Pokemon%20Diamond_160.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_161.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_162.png

Oh, okay.

Pokemon%20Diamond_163.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_164.png

Now we can focus on the killer pony.

Pokemon%20Diamond_165.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_166.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_167.png

No, don't miss.

Pokemon%20Diamond_168.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_169.png

Are you deaf?

Pokemon%20Diamond_170.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_171.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_172.png

Much more like it.

Pokemon%20Diamond_173.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_174.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_175.png

So much to remember.

Pokemon%20Diamond_177.png

Now to battle the other dude-oh look, a giant pit.

Pokemon%20Diamond_178.png

Bek accidentally the giant pit.

Pokemon%20Diamond_179.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_180.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_181.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_182.png

Could you at least give Bek a bandage?

Pokemon%20Diamond_183.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_184.png

Okay, now we'll get the dodo.

Pokemon%20Diamond_185.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_186.png

Too bad, we already have a pony.

Pokemon%20Diamond_187.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_188.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_189.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_190.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_191.png

One-sided atm!

Pokemon%20Diamond_192.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_193.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_194.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_195.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_196.png

So close...

Pokemon%20Diamond_197.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_198.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_199.png

Well done!

Pokemon%20Diamond_200.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_201.png

Sorry, but I'm still going to ditch you.

Pokemon%20Diamond_202.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_203.png

BORUTAMA-err, the dodo's choice of using the charge up special move on the monster it can hardly damage in the first place confused killer pony too much.

Pokemon%20Diamond_205.png

It's okay.

Pokemon%20Diamond_206.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_207.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_208.png

There was another one of them anyway.

Pokemon%20Diamond_210.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_211.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_212.png

Dang.

Pokemon%20Diamond_213.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_214.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_215.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_216.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_217.png

And here we can note that Killer Pony is actually not so killer any more! Other stuff has started evolving and/or leveling up decently by now. On the flip side, the dodo is semi-bulky, I suppose.

Pokemon%20Diamond_218.png

Even more so now.

Pokemon%20Diamond_220.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_221.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_222.png

Getting there.

Pokemon%20Diamond_223.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_224.png

Dang again.

Pokemon%20Diamond_225.png

Pokemon%20Diamond_226.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_227.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_228.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_229.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_230.png

He just went again... and did a whole seven damage. Uh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_231.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_232.png

Good enough!

Pokemon%20Diamond_233.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_234.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_235.png

That was fun.

Pokemon%20Diamond_236.png

What is a moving?

Pokemon%20Diamond_237.png

Now, we fell down, so we are... here. Wherever that may be.

Pokemon%20Diamond_238.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_239.png

Hmm, a singular pot.

Pokemon%20Diamond_240.png

Go away, there's a pot.

Pokemon%20Diamond_241.png

Well, not anymore I guess.

Pokemon%20Diamond_242.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_243.png

Hmm, this way...?

Pokemon%20Diamond_244.png

...or that way? Sigh. Let's pick next time. [/hide]
 
So a spiky hippo is a dodo, and spiky dolphin/narwhal/something (...I think the lowest form of this one sorta looked more like a flying spiky stingray? not quite so ray-shaped in its later forms though) is a bird, apparently. XD

That kinda reminds me of some of my odd misinterpretations of some sprites in video games when I was a lot younger. Unfortunately I can't remember any off the top of my head now (except taking *forever* to realize what the "Bob the Hamster head" symbol included in the OHRRPGCE's default font was--for years I was like "what the heck is this weird thing?" whenever I noticed it. XD)

XD)
Yeah, I just cannot not see BORUTAMA as a bird-like thing, so a dodo it is back from my childhood days! Sure, the hippo form fits with its typing, but... no matter how I look at it, it looks way too weird to be a hippo because of its rounded form. it doesn't help that it seems to only have two legs (more so its middle evolution though), and only the jaw being hippo-like! Plus I figure that at this point, calling things by the first initial appearance is oddly fitting for Telefang, because you can't comprehend this engrish version to begin with. :V

Meanwhile, the spiky dolphin/etc thing does evolve from a more bird-looking thing that is type sky, so I decided to just stick to calling it that than guess that what animal it really is based on (I couldn't find a straight answer way back when I looked it up). Spikes with an animal attached, I suppose. Besides, Bek doesn't know anything beyond baseball anyway =p
 
Is "curled up armadillo bug with spikes, a skinny hippo head and bird legs attached to its shell" a valid description?
 
Yeah, most of the game's monsters are "features from several species" sorts of things it seems. Not sure where you're getting "bug" from, but "round spiky armored hippo with bird legs" sounds about right.

There's no curled-up shell though... they just have a really round body. The actually Japanese name for the last one in the evolution line is basically "Balltamus." As in, ball + hippopotamus. XD

They also apparently have one of those "weird Japanese anime/manga speaking quirk" things where they add "hippo" onto the end of their sentences. So I'm pretty sure they were going for mostly hippo with these, with the other features mostly added in to make them a weird monster rather than... just a pink/red cartoon hippo.

====

Oh, and I remembered one of the sprites I misinterpreted when I was younger, though not quite when I was a little kid... Mawile. When I first saw Mawile, I had only seen it from the front (and I'm fairly sure it was in a low-quality screenshot rather than in-game) and I interpreted it as some sort of monsterized version of those big machines with the scooper "mouth" on the front that could bend down to scoop up dirt and such and move it. Which made sense to me at the time, considering it was Steel type and all. I had Sapphire to start with so I never saw the back sprite (where the actual face/body is clearer) or Pokédex entries that made things clearer until a while after that. XD
 
Not sure where you're getting "bug" from, but "round spiky armored hippo with bird legs" sounds about right.

I meant armadillo bug as in that critter that curls up into a tiny ball, Whirlipede-style, but is actually a crustacean that managed to shorecrawl while still having gills. Those things exist.

Let's take a third option.

Hi, random encounter! Alas, the battle was short lived. Let's just beat up this guy here. Hope you guys like battles!

Pokemon%20Diamond_295.png

Why? You have two of their numbers anyway!

Pokemon%20Diamond_296.png

It was pointed out that BORUTAMA is not a dodo, which is true (it is based on a hippo). But child me looked at its line and saw more of a bird rather than a hippo, and thus it was a dodo that lives in water. Hey, it made sense for this game! And I still say it doesn't look much like a hippo to me.

Pokemon%20Diamond_297.png

This though

it's a thing with cancer.

Whelp, we know what that means:

Better.

Just a bit more! (And now they did the same amount of damage?)

Hi, RESEARCH guy.

Pokemon%20Diamond_397.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_398.png

And that's... even more so.

Pokemon%20Diamond_399.png

-_-

Pokemon%20Diamond_400.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_401.png

If only I had two of you.

Pokemon%20Diamond_402.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_403.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_404.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_405.png

Wow that's also pretty weak.

Pokemon%20Diamond_406.png

Seriously?

Pokemon%20Diamond_407.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_408.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_409.png

You're weird and slow, but at least you're dependable.

Pokemon%20Diamond_411.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_412.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_413.png

Oh dear.

Pokemon%20Diamond_414.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_415.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_416.png


Pokemon%20Diamond_417.png

FINALLY

Pokemon%20Diamond_418.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_419.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_420.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_421.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_422.png

>Critical hit
>32 damage

...

Pokemon%20Diamond_423.png

Battles like these would be far faster if I had three competent monsters...

Pokemon%20Diamond_424.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_425.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_426.png

Pony! Remember it?

Pokemon%20Diamond_427.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_428.png

And we're back here, where I fell down the hole last update.

DON'T YOU LOVE MAZES?

Pokemon%20Diamond_429.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_430.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_431.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_432.png

Huh? I beat him, not the other way around. It's just that Bek likes to allow people and devils to run off.

Pokemon%20Diamond_433.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_434.png

Sure looks stoned.

Pokemon%20Diamond_436.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_437.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_438.png

A more varied team here.

Pokemon%20Diamond_439.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_440.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_441.png

This one can inflict the afraid status, so it needs to go first.

Pokemon%20Diamond_442.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_443.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_444.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_445.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_446.png

Gotta go fast.

Pokemon%20Diamond_447.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_448.png

Sigh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_449.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_450.png

Cleaning up as usual.

Pokemon%20Diamond_451.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_452.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_453.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_454.png

A speed and defense buff, I see.

Pokemon%20Diamond_455.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_456.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_457.png

Sit still for a while then.

Pokemon%20Diamond_458.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_459.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_460.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_461.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_462.png

Okay.

Pokemon%20Diamond_463.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_464.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_465.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_466.png

Oh no you don't.

Let's skip to the end:

Pokemon%20Diamond_490.png

That was fun!

Pokemon%20Diamond_493.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_494.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_499.png

That's kinda cool.

Pokemon%20Diamond_496.png

Alright, let's go up.

Pokemon%20Diamond_497.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_498.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_501.png

Two paths?

Pokemon%20Diamond_502.png

Oh. Well sure, there's no treasure and a dead end there, but

Pots

Pokemon%20Diamond_503.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_504.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_505.png

I like that he's talking to his monsters he hasn't called yet.

Pokemon%20Diamond_506.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_507.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_508.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_509.png

Not-Sandslash only likes two of these.

Pokemon%20Diamond_510.png

And it isn't you!

Pokemon%20Diamond_512.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_513.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_514.png

Oh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_515.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_516.png

Oh, boosting your defense. That's alright.

Pokemon%20Diamond_518.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_519.png

Good, that's a start.

Pokemon%20Diamond_520.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_521.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_522.png

Oh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_523.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_524.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_525.png

Water fight, with teeth.

Pokemon%20Diamond_526.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_527.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_528.png

Pfft

Pokemon%20Diamond_529.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_530.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_531.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_532.png

(lost). That's more like it.

Pokemon%20Diamond_533.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_534.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_535.png

Good, don't attack Not-Sandslash.

Pokemon%20Diamond_536.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_537.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_539.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_540.png

Standard exchange.

Pokemon%20Diamond_541.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_542.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_543.png

Whyyyy

Pokemon%20Diamond_544.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_545.png

Thank goodness you did that on him at least...

Pokemon%20Diamond_546.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_547.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_548.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_549.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_550.png

Take that, defense boost.

Pokemon%20Diamond_551.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_552.png

Aw yeah

Pokemon%20Diamond_553.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_554.png

I always do.

Pokemon%20Diamond_555.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_556.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_557.png

Too late.

Pokemon%20Diamond_558.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_559.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_560.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_561.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_562.png

This'll be easy.

Pokemon%20Diamond_563.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_564.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_565.png

See? 255 is the maximum damage one can deal, by the way.

Pokemon%20Diamond_566.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_567.png

Following the magic of the STONE:

Pokemon%20Diamond_582.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_583.png

Pots!

Pokemon%20Diamond_584.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_585.png

THE POTS ARE NOW DIAMONDS

No, really. Not all pots do this, but if you need more money...

Pokemon%20Diamond_586.png

Just got to be careful with where you throw them as the diamonds can go out of the room, bleh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_587.png

If only I didn't already have a filled wallet.

Pokemon%20Diamond_588.png

Wha

Pokemon%20Diamond_590.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_591.png

Oh, that's better. As long as you listen more.

Pokemon%20Diamond_592.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_593.png

That's pretty cool.

Pokemon%20Diamond_594.png

Yep, pots respawn as well when you go revisit the room. I don't understand this setup though.

Pokemon%20Diamond_595.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_596.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_597.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_598.png

Uh

Maybe?

Pokemon%20Diamond_599.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_600.png
]
Pokemon%20Diamond_601.png

Really, game?

Do you want me to like you for asking that question?

Pokemon%20Diamond_602.png

Mmmm...

Pokemon%20Diamond_603.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_604.png

Bitterly.

Pokemon%20Diamond_605.png

I liked how I timed this screenshot.

Pokemon%20Diamond_606.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_607.png

I don't see him nearby...

Pokemon%20Diamond_608.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_609.png

The team? Three HERIOPS! AH HA HA.
Pokemon%20Diamond_610.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_612.png

They have a weird sprite.

Pokemon%20Diamond_613.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_614.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_615.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_616.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_617.png

Eh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_618.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_619.png

=/

Pokemon%20Diamond_621.png

That's a start...

Pokemon%20Diamond_622.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_623.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_624.png

Great, this may take some time.

Pokemon%20Diamond_625.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_626.png

Why do they keep saying burning?

Pokemon%20Diamond_628.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_629.png

Fight fire with fire. Or afraid with afraid. Or eyes, with... shouting.

Pokemon%20Diamond_630.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_631.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_632.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_633.png

Thank goodness their attack sucks!

Pokemon%20Diamond_634.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_635.png

Alas...

Pokemon%20Diamond_636.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_637.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_638.png

I guess being bitten might give you a burning sensation?

Or do you just want to burn things?

No, HERIOPS, fire is bad.

Pokemon%20Diamond_639.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_640.png

Notice the change in Not-Sandslash's health bar.

Pokemon%20Diamond_641.png

Now notice that change.

Pokemon%20Diamond_642.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_646.png

That's not quite the same level...

Pokemon%20Diamond_647.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_648.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_652.png

But going twice in a row helps. I guess it still has that going for it.

Pokemon%20Diamond_653.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_654.png

The first failure of BORUTA?

Pokemon%20Diamond_655.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_657.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_658.png

And then there was one.

Pokemon%20Diamond_660.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_661.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_662.png


Pokemon%20Diamond_663.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_664.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_665.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_666.png

Aw yeah.

Pokemon%20Diamond_667.png

Oh hey, there was a RESEARCH. You're free now!

Pokemon%20Diamond_668.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_669.png

...Oh. Really?

Man, saving people sucks. Even if I win, I'll just stop playing!

(For this update).[/hide]
 
Part Forty: More Temple Adventures!
Or finding the room and a few more weird monsters.


[hide=]
Pokemon%20Diamond_668.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_669.png

Last time, we found a guy too lazy to actually leave when I saved him.

Screw that guy.

Pokemon%20Diamond_670.png

Bek's natural response to life is to go fall down more holes.

Pokemon%20Diamond_671.png

Oh, hi there.

Pokemon%20Diamond_673.png

That's nice of you.

Pokemon%20Diamond_675.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_676.png

Now, back to this fork - let's head the other way.

Pokemon%20Diamond_677.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_678.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_679.png

Oh yes I can.

Pokemon%20Diamond_680.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_681.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_682.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_683.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_684.png

Ew.

Pokemon%20Diamond_685.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_686.png

Let's hope this guy is more reliable than killer pony.

Pokemon%20Diamond_687.png

I'm okay with this.

Pokemon%20Diamond_688.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_689.png

Not with that though.

Pokemon%20Diamond_690.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_691.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_692.png

Hey!

Pokemon%20Diamond_693.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_694.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_695.png

No, stop that.

Pokemon%20Diamond_697.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_698.png

Fine, bugger off then.

Pokemon%20Diamond_699.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_700.png

Taking care of that problem... even when it recovers, it needs to use the special move to continue charging it up.

Pokemon%20Diamond_701.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_702.png

I like you.

Pokemon%20Diamond_703.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_704.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_707.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_708.png

Hmm...

Pokemon%20Diamond_709.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_710.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_711.png

Oh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_712.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_713.png

Burn you too.

Pokemon%20Diamond_714.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_715.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_716.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_717.png

That was quick.

Pokemon%20Diamond_718.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_719.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_720.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_721.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_724.png

\o/

Pokemon%20Diamond_725.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_726.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_727.png

Nothing else I can do while I wait... It's a pity it doesn't learn any moves like SHOUT or the sort.

Pokemon%20Diamond_728.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_729.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_730.png

That'll help.

Pokemon%20Diamond_731.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_732.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_733.png

Nevermind.

Pokemon%20Diamond_737.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_738.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_739.png

Cool, besides the lack of speed.

Pokemon%20Diamond_740.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_741.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_742.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_743.png

More RESEARCH folk!

Pokemon%20Diamond_745.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_746.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_747.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_748.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_749.png

What no

I don't want anybody's fruit.

Pokemon%20Diamond_750.png

Wait actually I am kinda hungry now

Pokemon%20Diamond_751.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_752.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_753.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_754.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_755.png

I'm not eating those!

Pokemon%20Diamond_756.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_757.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_758.png

YOU SUCK

Pokemon%20Diamond_759.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_760.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_761.png

GIVE ME MY FRUIT

Pokemon%20Diamond_762.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_763.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_764.png

So magical.

Pokemon%20Diamond_765.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_766.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_767.png

He doesn't have that much HP I suppose...

Pokemon%20Diamond_768.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_769.png

There, stay still.

Pokemon%20Diamond_770.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_772.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_773.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_774.png

Take that!

Pokemon%20Diamond_775.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_776.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_777.png

So close....

Pokemon%20Diamond_778.png

*a minute later*

Pokemon%20Diamond_779.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_780.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_781.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_783.png

And that's what happened.

Pokemon%20Diamond_784.png

So many stairs...

Pokemon%20Diamond_785.png

Wha

Who arranged this room!?

Pokemon%20Diamond_786.png

Well, maybe if I go down these stairs and come back up them, I'll be next to the treasure!

Pokemon%20Diamond_787.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_788.png

Or... maybe not.

Pokemon%20Diamond_789.png

How confusing.

Pokemon%20Diamond_790.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_792.png

Kind of on-par for this game though.

Pokemon%20Diamond_793.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_794.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_795.png

I can't eat, I don't have any fruit. Just guns and P-cards. :<

Pokemon%20Diamond_796.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_797.png

Do you want me to visit you in the sea? I remember too much about it.

Pokemon%20Diamond_798.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_799.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_800.png

Abuh

Pokemon%20Diamond_801.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_802.png

A sparkly racket.

That's... great.
Pokemon%20Diamond_803.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_804.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_805.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_806.png

Sure is a rubbish house.

Pokemon%20Diamond_807.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_809.png

What a weird looking thing.

Pokemon%20Diamond_813.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_814.png

Good start.

Pokemon%20Diamond_815.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_816.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_817.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_818.png

That was pointless...

Pokemon%20Diamond_819.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_820.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_821.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_822.png

Excellent, you're doing just great.

Pokemon%20Diamond_823.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_824.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_825.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_826.png

\o/

Pokemon%20Diamond_827.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_828.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_829.png

It's somewhat frail too...

Pokemon%20Diamond_834.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_836.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_837.png

As usual...

Pokemon%20Diamond_838.png

This is true.

Pokemon%20Diamond_839.png

Oh hey, statues! That usually means something.

Pokemon%20Diamond_840.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_841.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_842.png

Hmm.

Pokemon%20Diamond_843.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_844.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_845.png

About baseball, probably.

Pokemon%20Diamond_846.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_847.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_848.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_849.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_850.png

WARTA!

Pokemon%20Diamond_851.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_852.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_853.png

Let's try him out.

Pokemon%20Diamond_854.png

Waa!

Pokemon%20Diamond_855.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_856.png

Well that was silly of you.

Pokemon%20Diamond_857.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_858.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_859.png

I really like him.

Pokemon%20Diamond_860.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_861.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_862.png

Satisfactory.

Pokemon%20Diamond_863.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_865.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_867.png

WARTA is weird.

Pokemon%20Diamond_868.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_869.png

So many stairs...

Pokemon%20Diamond_870.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_871.png

Why stairs, why.

Pokemon%20Diamond_872.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_873.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_874.png

Okay, thanks RESEARCH. Are you going to publish this finding?

Pokemon%20Diamond_875.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_876.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_877.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_878.png

Oh?

Pokemon%20Diamond_879.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_880.png

Garbled, but okay. Some hint as to what is happening. Maybe. Your guess is as good as mine!

Well, it isn't, because I beat this before, but you can pretend otherwise.

Pokemon%20Diamond_881.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_882.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_883.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_884.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_885.png

No you!

Pokemon%20Diamond_886.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_887.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_888.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_889.png

We've seen these guys before, so...

Pokemon%20Diamond_890.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_891.png

Breaking all the pots.

Pokemon%20Diamond_893.png

Huh, one of those evolution cards. In a nice missable spot too.

Pokemon%20Diamond_894.png

Time to backtrack!

Pokemon%20Diamond_895.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_896.png

And level up too.

Pokemon%20Diamond_897.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_898.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_899.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_900.png

Oooh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_901.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_902.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_903.png

You can guess what happened next.

Pokemon%20Diamond_904.png

And again!

Pokemon%20Diamond_906.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_907.png

Sigh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_908.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_909.png

No, don't emulate the killer pony.

Pokemon%20Diamond_910.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_911.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_912.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_913.png

Battles are certainly more comfortable now.

Pokemon%20Diamond_914.png

Well, it's probably the place.

Pokemon%20Diamond_915.png

Naturally.

Pokemon%20Diamond_916.png

Oh well, just got to find the key. We can do that, and then retrace our steps here via the map. We'll do that next update, but until then:

Pokemon%20Diamond_917.png

DIAMONDS

Part Forty-One: Grabbin' keys
Or looking at every dead end.

[hide=]
Pokemon%20Diamond_917.png

Last time, we found out we need to find a key. Instead we found diamonds in the confusing room.

Pokemon%20Diamond_918.png

Good way to start an update!

Pokemon%20Diamond_919.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_920.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_921.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_922.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_923.png

Oh this is boring, go away.

Pokemon%20Diamond_927.png

I don't like how small the map is.... why did they do this?

Pokemon%20Diamond_928.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_929.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_930.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_931.png

Well, that's good motivation, I won't deny that.

Pokemon%20Diamond_939.png

But you should get some different e-monsters first.

Pokemon%20Diamond_940.png

Hmm...

Pokemon%20Diamond_941.png

What a tricky puzzle. -_-

Pokemon%20Diamond_942.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_943.png

Heh, not a bad attempt.

Pokemon%20Diamond_949.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_950.png

Woo, more questionable evolution permission cards!

Pokemon%20Diamond_952.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_953.png

Breakin' pots.

Pokemon%20Diamond_954.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_955.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_956.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_957.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_958.png

No.

Pokemon%20Diamond_959.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_960.png

Oh, another treasure chest. And statues.

Pokemon%20Diamond_961.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_962.png

Statues means important stuff, usually.

Pokemon%20Diamond_963.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_964.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_965.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_966.png

Unfortunately it doesn't mean tough battles.

Pokemon%20Diamond_967.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_968.png

Woo! Teleg sucks for him but who cares about that?

Pokemon%20Diamond_969.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_970.png

And there we go!

But first, let's just see the other dead ends this maze has.

Pokemon%20Diamond_971.png

Well, this isn't too helpful.

Pokemon%20Diamond_972.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_973.png

Hmm...

Pokemon%20Diamond_974.png

Aha!

Pokemon%20Diamond_975.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_976.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_977.png

I just talk to them, and try to save them only to get rejected.

Pokemon%20Diamond_978.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_979.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_980.png

It's a bird on fire, you're scarier than it. Seriously, you have a gun, and a weird body, and tentacles...

Pokemon%20Diamond_981.png

Too many birds. =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_982.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_983.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_984.png

That's good.

Pokemon%20Diamond_985.png

Heh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_986.png

I guess it doesn't have one...?

Pokemon%20Diamond_987.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_988.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_990.png

Bugger.

Pokemon%20Diamond_991.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_992.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_993.png

This guy doesn't have much health, clearly.

Pokemon%20Diamond_994.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_995.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_996.png

Stop that.

Pokemon%20Diamond_997.png

I'm worse off at the moment...

Pokemon%20Diamond_998.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_999.png

That helps.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1000.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1001.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1002.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1003.png

Sigh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1004.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1005.png

Sigh again.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1006.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1007.png

Nearly there.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1008.png

It sure is.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1009.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1010.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1011.png

Whip it~

Pokemon%20Diamond_1012.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1013.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1014.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1015.png

Yet again, stalling for time...

Pokemon%20Diamond_1017.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1018.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1020.png

Whoops

Pokemon%20Diamond_1021.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1022.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1023.png

I still won at least, but three birds are a bugger.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1024.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1025.png

Not bad.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1026.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1028.png

Bek hasn't got time for this.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1029.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1030.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1031.png

He has time to talk to useless RESEARCH people though.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1033.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1034.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1035.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1036.png

Curious.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1037.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1038.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1039.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1040.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1041.png

Maybe you should just... leave?

Pokemon%20Diamond_1042.png

Fine, just stand there. I don't need you anyway, I'm fine with this Tsita thing.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1043.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1044.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1045.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1046.png

Are who in those places? Other birds? Yep, they're kinda knocked out right now.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1047.png

Dang, it's taunting me.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1051.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1052.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1053.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1054.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1055.png

Which one are you talking about?

Pokemon%20Diamond_1060.png

What a pointless setup.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1061.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1062.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1063.png

Do you really need to ask?

Pokemon%20Diamond_1064.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1065.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1066.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1067.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1068.png

Okay.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1072.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1073.png

Heh. Hit is nearly in the 100s too!

Pokemon%20Diamond_1074.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1075.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1076.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1077.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1078.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1079.png

See all these guys you don't need to battle?

Pokemon%20Diamond_1080.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1081.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1082.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1083.png

Pity they have repeat setups.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1084.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1086.png

Bah.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1087.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1088.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1089.png

Yes, I fought a lot of you, the end.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1090.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1091.png

Huh, odd arrangement...

Pokemon%20Diamond_1092.png

Really...?

Pokemon%20Diamond_1093.png

At least it had diamonds I don't need?

Pokemon%20Diamond_1094.png

Sigh...

Pokemon%20Diamond_1095.png

#Pimp

Pokemon%20Diamond_1096.png

Right, where else haven't we been?

Pokemon%20Diamond_1097.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1098.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1099.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1100.png

Huh, neat, a bit of backstory.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1101.png

Fishing.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1104.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1105.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1106.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1107.png

I refuse!

Pokemon%20Diamond_1109.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1110.png

That's useful.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1111.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1112.png

Sorry.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1114.png

O_O

Pokemon%20Diamond_1116.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1117.png

I know! I'm just exploring!

Pokemon%20Diamond_1118.png

A boss fight, probably. There's been a pattern to these things.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1119.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1120.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1121.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1122.png

Odd place for a dagger...

Pokemon%20Diamond_1123.png

Why

Pokemon%20Diamond_1124.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1125.png

No.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1126.png

Ah, so that's what was in the chest.

A rock from the moon.

...I'll just keep this then.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1127.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1128.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1129.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1130.png

Interestingly, this is a thing that can happen! You need to go to your phone and remove phone numbers if you want to add anyone else.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1131.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1132.png

It's simple, but you need to do it one at a time. =/

Anyways...

Pokemon%20Diamond_1133.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1134.png

Back to the room we go.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1135.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1136.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1137.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1138.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1139.png

Well said! Well enough, anyway.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1140.png

Hear that, SANABRA?

That's the sound of your pots breaking!

Pokemon%20Diamond_1141.png

And we're going to break you! Aw yeah

[/hide]
 
Part Forty-Two: What a nice chap!
Or another boss fight.

[hide=]
Pokemon%20Diamond_1141.png

Last time, we finally decided to go and take on the boss. Let's do this!

Pokemon%20Diamond_1142.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1143.png

Well, well! Mr. SANABRA.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1144.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1145.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1146.png

What's not good for Bek? I guess standing in this room for too long would be unhealthy... no windows, no plants, no food...

Pokemon%20Diamond_1147.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1148.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1149.png

Bek isn't happy.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1150.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1151.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1152.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1153.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1154.png

What friend?

Pokemon%20Diamond_1155.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1156.png

No Bek, you're not supposed to actually consider his request.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1157.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1158.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1159.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1160.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1161.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1162.png

The birthplace? Huh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1163.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1164.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1165.png

Yes, very nice, Bek. I don't think that's relevant to the conversation though.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1166.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1168.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1169.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1170.png

Wait who are you

Pokemon%20Diamond_1171.png

CHAP, eh? Nice name.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1173.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1174.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1175.png

What isn't nice is his stats. For us, anyway. He's 10+ levels higher than us.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1176.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1177.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1178.png

For comparison, these are the stats of the two guys I'm going with for this fight.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1179.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1180.png

[Wait]

Boss Battle Theme

Pokemon%20Diamond_01.png

That's not how you wait!

Pokemon%20Diamond_02.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_03.png

I was quite lucky there.

Pokemon%20Diamond_04.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_05.png

Oh.

Oh dear.

Pokemon%20Diamond_06.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_07.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_08.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_09.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_10.png

Yes... please, lower my ineffective attack instead of actually attacking us.

Pokemon%20Diamond_11.png

We know, game.

Pokemon%20Diamond_12.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_13.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_14.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_15.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_16.png

This doesn't depend on attack strength at least!

Pokemon%20Diamond_17.png

Pretty done minor though...

Pokemon%20Diamond_18.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_19.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_21.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_22.png

I think we'll be relying on this strategy.

Pokemon%20Diamond_23.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_24.png

That was short lived.

Pokemon%20Diamond_25.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_26.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_28.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_29.png

I'll have to rely on this, as chipping away 4 HP at a time will not work.

Pokemon%20Diamond_30.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_33.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_34.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_35.png

Thanks, dumb AI!

Pokemon%20Diamond_36.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_37.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_38.png

Hmm.

Pokemon%20Diamond_39.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_40.png

Just keep yelling!

Pokemon%20Diamond_41.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_42.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_43.png

Keep, uh, diverging!

Pokemon%20Diamond_44.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_45.png

No stop that.

Pokemon%20Diamond_46.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_47.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_48.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_49.png

Did being scaled make any difference? @_@

Pokemon%20Diamond_50.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_51.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_52.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_53.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_54.png

[Be yelling..]

Pokemon%20Diamond_55.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_56.png

That makes three stat boosts.

Pokemon%20Diamond_57.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_58.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_59.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_60.png

Man, I'm really lucking out here at the moment.

Pokemon%20Diamond_61.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_62.png

This is so slow ugh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_63.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_64.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_65.png


Pokemon%20Diamond_66.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_67.png

Four...

Pokemon%20Diamond_68.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_69.png


Pokemon%20Diamond_70.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_71.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_72.png

Buh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_73.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_74.png

Then he went again! \o/

Pokemon%20Diamond_75.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_76.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_77.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_78.png

Five times in a row? Seriously? @_@ AI is being very weird here.

Pokemon%20Diamond_79.png

Now to actually do some damage.

Pokemon%20Diamond_80.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_81.png

Oh yay!

Pokemon%20Diamond_82.png

That was a critical hit.

After four stat boosts.

Pokemon%20Diamond_83.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_84.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_85.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_86.png

Good, keep doing that.

Pokemon%20Diamond_87.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_88.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_89.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_90.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_91.png

Chip damage~

Pokemon%20Diamond_92.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_93.png

Keep going...

Pokemon%20Diamond_94.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_95.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_96.png

This is working better than I expected, but to be fair I have lucked out way too much so far.

Pokemon%20Diamond_97.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_98.png

Another instance recovery.

Pokemon%20Diamond_99.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_100.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_101.png

And his first attack!

In one hit, he's done more than Not-Sandslash could deal to him with a critical and four attack boosts. That's kind of scary. If he did that against our tentacle GANTSU guy, then it's be a OHKO as well.

Pokemon%20Diamond_102.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_103.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_104.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_105.png

Keep on poisoning, and don't get hit!

Pokemon%20Diamond_106.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_107.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_108.png

So close!

Pokemon%20Diamond_109.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_110.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_111.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_112.png

~twist and shout~

Pokemon%20Diamond_113.png

Too late, CHAP.

Pokemon%20Diamond_114.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_115.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_116.png

Crit mattered.

Pokemon%20Diamond_118.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_119.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_120.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_121.png

Woo!

I will admit this though, it took me three tries for this rather lucky run. Amazed that I beat CHAP with everyone remaining conscious in fact!

Pokemon%20Diamond_122.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_123.png

I know.

Pokemon%20Diamond_124.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_125.png

What is a Bek? A miserable pile of baseball?

Pokemon%20Diamond_126.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_127.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_128.png

Oh hey, life tree. That's that thing that was mentioned back in Bamu Sea as a password- and wait, that's where e-monsters are born?

...It's a fitting name, I guess.

Pokemon%20Diamond_129.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_130.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_131.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_132.png

Clearly he wants to host a party there.

Pokemon%20Diamond_133.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_134.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_135.png

Nothing? Okay, we believe you. Don't forget to invite us!

Pokemon%20Diamond_137.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_138.png

You can't tell, but they started flashing indicating they're teleporting away.

Pokemon%20Diamond_139.png

Oh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_140.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_141.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_142.png

You and me, Bek.

Pokemon%20Diamond_143.png

A phone call!

Pokemon%20Diamond_144.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_145.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_146.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_147.png

Huh, that's convenient.

Pokemon%20Diamond_148.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_149.png

Pizza.

Pokemon%20Diamond_150.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_151.png

What a coincidence! But I'd rather he talked about pizza, to be honest.

Pokemon%20Diamond_152.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_153.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_154.png

Yes, more backtracking! I can't wait!!

Pokemon%20Diamond_155.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_156.png

Stop being ominous, Sungki.

Pokemon%20Diamond_157.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_158.png

First, let's get out of this forest.

Pokemon%20Diamond_159.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_160.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_161.png

Hopefully.

Pokemon%20Diamond_162.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_163.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_164.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_165.png

Aw, someone acknowledged us and actually left the building. About time!

Pokemon%20Diamond_169.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_170.png

I agree. Then we wouldn't have to go in more mazes.

Pokemon%20Diamond_171.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_172.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_173.png

You guys are pretty darn boring.

Pokemon%20Diamond_174.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_175.png

Back to the normal! If you call this normal anyway.

Pokemon%20Diamond_176.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_177.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_178.png

I wonder though - why did they kidnap everyone there? What is the benefit of staring at this e-monsters in a building to learn about life tree or whatnot? And why not just go inside their homes and stare at them there? This makes no sense.

Pokemon%20Diamond_180.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_181.png

How rude of SANABRA.

Pokemon%20Diamond_183.png

How rude of BUBARI.

Pokemon%20Diamond_184.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_185.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_186.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_187.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_188.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_189.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_190.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_191.png

That actually sounds kinda cool.

Pokemon%20Diamond_192.png

Anyways, on with the backtracking!

Pokemon%20Diamond_193.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_195.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_196.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_197.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_198.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_199.png

Screw the last tree.

Pokemon%20Diamond_200.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_201.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_202.png

Hurrah for minimal shortcuts!

Pokemon%20Diamond_203.png

Right, we're here-

wait.

Pokemon%20Diamond_205.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_206.png

Yay!

Pokemon%20Diamond_207.png

No!

Pokemon%20Diamond_208.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_209.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_210.png

Why indeed? I don't understand your point, IKUSOR.

Pokemon%20Diamond_211.png

Anyways, time for a story next update, I suppose.

So scientists that study monsters are bad in this game. No Professor Oak or anything. I guess the experiments they do are cruel or something. Or maybe they are trying to make a weapon. Perhaps the Supernal Monster? Maybe it will escape and go on a rampage in the largest town of the E-monster world!
