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

Next time. Remind me to view it in Topic Review.
So, er, yeah, curry! =D
? I'm afraid I don't follow the first bit there.

But I do agree with the latter statement! =p
curry guy for president

Also dat battle theme
Almost as likely to be a successful campaign as the previous 'free mayonaise' direction!

And the music is usually pretty decent with this game imo. Some are a bit average but stuff like the battle themes (you'll hear the others soon) are really quite nice.
this needs to be a meme
normally i hate forced memes but ^ this
I'm too lazy to knock up a fake poster atm. =p

But not too lazy to post this update!

Part Four: Still looking for NETARO
Or wandering about a cave and finding out what a trainer looks like.

PokemonDiamond_565.png

Cave Theme!

Ok, let's get to exploring this place and wake up someone already.

PokemonDiamond_03.png
PokemonDiamond_04.png
PokemonDiamond_05.png

And that's why you are running about in circles in this room, right? Gotta love helpful NPCs.

PokemonDiamond_06.png

When you enter a new place, it takes extra time for your friends to reach you. And if that's the case...

PokemonDiamond_07.png
PokemonDiamond_08.png

...then sometimes you will be called during the battle to be informed that they will be late. How helpful.

While exploring, Kokia decided to share the following:

PokemonDiamond_10.png
PokemonDiamond_11.png
PokemonDiamond_12.png
PokemonDiamond_13.png

I can't say I know who or what BURTAMAS is but how does a screwdriver increases his exp?

PokemonDiamond_14.png
PokemonDiamond_15.png
PokemonDiamond_16.png

So essentially, don't give him a screwdriver or he'll break everything with it.

The cave is hardly entertaining...no crazy mazes or the like.

PokemonDiamond_18.png

See? Boring.

PokemonDiamond_19.png

More water but still boring!

PokemonDiamond_20.png

Oh hey a guy with a hat.

PokemonDiamond_21.png

Not here, clearly...

PokemonDiamond_22.png
PokemonDiamond_23.png
PokemonDiamond_24.png

'Well Not-Sandslash, you heard the guy. Let's go back and find some baseball!'

PokemonDiamond_26.png

Only Bek then proceeds to look about and decide he's too darn lazy to walk all the way back. To be fair, this game is troublesome for him.

PokemonDiamond_27.png
PokemonDiamond_28.png

Ok, take a good look at the man in the overworld and what this 'KAKUZATO' actually looks like. The 'start to enter' bit can be taken in a bad way too. -_-

Tougher Battle Theme!


He'll proceed to send out a monster to match your Kuribute and may call up to two others while you can call up to two other e-monsters too.

PokemonDiamond_31.png
PokemonDiamond_32.png

Of course both of mine decided to get lost, despite having found their way here before. The battle is easy enough though - Kesi is nothing to write home about.

Upon winning:

PokemonDiamond_34.png

And then the guy runs off. But wait, that was the name of the politician who promised curry... hmm. Now we have politicians that seem to look like telefang's version of pedobear. Great.

PokemonDiamond_35.png

Crossroads! Let's go down.

PokemonDiamond_36.png
PokemonDiamond_37.png
PokemonDiamond_38.png
PokemonDiamond_39.png
PokemonDiamond_40.png

The creature sounds confused, and to be honest I don't blame him.

PokemonDiamond_41.png

Let's give him a talking to then!

PokemonDiamond_43.png
PokemonDiamond_44.png
PokemonDiamond_45.png

But we want to-

PokemonDiamond_52.png

He places emphasis on his order by jumping as well. Bek is convinced by this jumping and hence you are unable to get past him. Oh well, going back up...

PokemonDiamond_56.png
PokemonDiamond_57.png
PokemonDiamond_58.png

So now it is the trainer of fungi or mold they look for? At any rate, the door is locked and remains so for a good while, and is unimportant anyways.

PokemonDiamond_60.png
PokemonDiamond_61.png

Ah, a politician demonstrating how to use one's head. Hang the fact it's locked - open it anyway!

charge.gif

The politician fails.

PokemonDiamond_69.png
PokemonDiamond_70.png

How vague.

PokemonDiamond_72.png

Yes, I can see you running into locked doors.

PokemonDiamond_74.png

The politician leaves, and Bek begins to...think I suppose. At any rate, 'that guy' has the key. At least here it is not too hard to figure out who here has it as we've got a confused creature, a man running around in circles and an angry guy stopping us from going anywhere.

Let's go-

PokemonDiamond_77.png

Suddenly a random battle from...

...um, what looks like a decapitated warthog. =(

PokemonDiamond_78.png

An aggressive decapitated warthog, my mistake.

PokemonDiamond_80.png
PokemonDiamond_81.png

Damn straight.

PokemonDiamond_82.png

So apparently it has limbs, but I still remain sceptical given the appearance and all. =/

PokemonDiamond_83.png

Watching politicians run into stuff and encountering even weirder looking things.

PokemonDiamond_84.png

Oh shut up already.

PokemonDiamond_88.png
PokemonDiamond_89.png
PokemonDiamond_90.png

And by asked, I mean he kept talking about the history of this world until I said yes.

PokemonDiamond_92.png
PokemonDiamond_93.png
PokemonDiamond_94.png

Hey, wait a second, Bek just said he was asked to wake him up, is all!

PokemonDiamond_95.png
PokemonDiamond_96.png
PokemonDiamond_97.png

I think this is why MUSA asked us to go here instead of doing stuff himself. -_-

Tougher Battle Theme!


pokemondiamond99.png

I'm not sure why he wants to make a call when he doesn't call anyone else. Maybe he calls himself. 'Oh hey, NEJIRO!' 'Stop shouting my name.' 'Sorry, NEJIRO! Anyways can you beat this guy up for me?' 'No.' 'I'll be your friend!' 'Ok fine sheesh.'

PokemonDiamond_100.png

Not that tough a battle on paper considering it's 3 on 1 in your favour, but it can be difficult if you haven't trained enough (he has a type advantage against Not-Sandslash) and/or you haven't gotten the phone number of anyone in the cave - because with some bad luck your friends get lost and it's one-on-one again.

PokemonDiamond_101.png

Luckily that is not a problem.

PokemonDiamond_102.png

Do what, exactly...?

PokemonDiamond_103.png
PokemonDiamond_104.png

Ah, he chose his super-awesome-special move, which is usually a one-hit kill when it hits. It however takes at least a few turns to charge (the DP bar which apparently stands for e-magic? is the display for that), and we don't need that long to win.

PokemonDiamond_109.png

A fairly easy battle in this case. Take that, angry...thing.

PokemonDiamond_110.png
PokemonDiamond_111.png
PokemonDiamond_112.png
PokemonDiamond_113.png

Everything, I tell you! Because that's what one does when fleeing politicians. This puts everything in perspective - he probably mistook us for a politician. Maybe he doesn't like curry?

PokemonDiamond_115.png
PokemonDiamond_116.png
PokemonDiamond_117.png
PokemonDiamond_118.png

That's quite true...

PokemonDiamond_119.png
PokemonDiamond_120.png
PokemonDiamond_121.png
PokemonDiamond_122.png

NEJIRO continues to display thinking abilities. Durr hurr, you must be all politicians!

PokemonDiamond_124.png
PokemonDiamond_125.png

Bek's question prompts a lot of jumping.

PokemonDiamond_128.png
PokemonDiamond_129.png
PokemonDiamond_130.png

Oh that's all right. I mean, you only repeatedly ignored what he said and threatened to kill us. That's an innocent-enough mistake!

PokemonDiamond_131.png
PokemonDiamond_132.png
PokemonDiamond_133.png
PokemonDiamond_134.png

'Ok, this is for your own good. Now go to sleep, or the politicians will get you!'

No, really - that's basically what he is saying. And you thought our pollies were bad enough. These ones kidnap and play dress-up.

PokemonDiamond_135.png
PokemonDiamond_136.png
PokemonDiamond_137.png
PokemonDiamond_138.png

Yaaaaay.

PokemonDiamond_144.png
PokemonDiamond_145.png
PokemonDiamond_146.png

'Sorry about the whole beating to death business. Friends?'

Man, with friends like these, who needs enemies?

PokemonDiamond_148.png
PokemonDiamond_149.png
PokemonDiamond_150.png

Yay.

PokemonDiamond_153.png

And then he disappears, like a ninja or something. His dex entry tells us about him using a 'mo gun', whatever that is. (Mofo?)

PokemonDiamond_159.png

Woot. Now to go open a door.

While travelling back, we get another phone call telling us HERIOPS likes propellers. And we also got our first instance of an e-monster learning a new move!

PokemonDiamond_166.png

This is one of my favourite out-of-context telefang moments. Heck, even context doesn't do much to savage anything. After all, Telefang gives one the impression the translator may have been high or something...

PokemonDiamond_167.png

Oh look it seems we found him.

PokemonDiamond_168.png
PokemonDiamond_169.png

Bek is pretty serious business about this - you can tell by the jump.

As a note - imagine this scene with everyone jumping after they finish and/or start speaking.

PokemonDiamond_171.png
PokemonDiamond_172.png

Wassup!

PokemonDiamond_174.png
PokemonDiamond_175.png
PokemonDiamond_176.png

'Won't somebody please think of the children!?'

PokemonDiamond_177.png

Well, he would if he could be bothered to walk here himself. -_-

PokemonDiamond_178.png
PokemonDiamond_179.png

'What do you mean, water? Who is this Musa? Who are you? Where are my pants?'

PokemonDiamond_181.png

Politician noooooooooo

Politician Theme of Doom

PokemonDiamond_183.png
PokemonDiamond_184.png

It's nearly 5 in the afternoon. =(

PokemonDiamond_185.png
PokemonDiamond_186.png
PokemonDiamond_187.png
PokemonDiamond_188.png

'Won't someone please think of the curry?!'

PokemonDiamond_190.png

We're not called Jimmy!

PokemonDiamond_191.png
PokemonDiamond_192.png
PokemonDiamond_193.png

Politicians keeping their word!? How much crazier can this game get!?

polyjump.gif

He is very happy.

PokemonDiamond_198.png
PokemonDiamond_199.png
PokemonDiamond_200.png

But-

polyjump.gif

Bek eventually interrupts the jump fest by jumping himself.

PokemonDiamond_210.png
PokemonDiamond_211.png

Not sure why he's hating on the confused Netaro...oh well?

PokemonDiamond_214.png
PokemonDiamond_215.png

'I mean, just look at all this...water! You could get WET!'

PokemonDiamond_217.png

Them fighting words.

PokemonDiamond_219.png

So much for being called Bek.

PokemonDiamond_220.png

Suddenly a woman shows up.

PokemonDiamond_223.png
PokemonDiamond_224.png
PokemonDiamond_225.png
PokemonDiamond_226.png

...Are you asking Bek out, or asking for a battle?

PokemonDiamond_227.png

Ah, a battle.

PokemonDiamond_228.png

The engrish is consistent, but not any better due to that...

PokemonDiamond_229.png

And suddenly the game throws a level 10 at you with an advantage over Not-Sandslash. Fun!

Boss Battle Theme!


PokemonDiamond_230.png
PokemonDiamond_231.png

The rest of her team.

PokemonDiamond_234.png

Luckily they take a few turns to arrive, and if you are lucky enough to win before everyone else arrives the battle ends.

PokemonDiamond_236.png

Noriwuts indeed. Some strange owl-like thing that tells us to come here...I'll pass.

PokemonDiamond_238.png

Already better at fighting than Nejiro, it seems.

Ok, let's try to kill it before the others arrive-

PokemonDiamond_239.png
PokemonDiamond_240.png
PokemonDiamond_241.png

Bugger.

But at least the battle goes all right...

PokemonDiamond_243.png
PokemonDiamond_244.png

The pink-thing with a tentacle was defeated from healing! Somehow.

And soon enough...

PokemonDiamond_246.png
PokemonDiamond_247.png
PokemonDiamond_248.png
PokemonDiamond_249.png

Victory!

PokemonDiamond_250.png
PokemonDiamond_251.png

But why did you even-

escape-1.gif

Well there she goes.

PokemonDiamond_256.png

Females do not exist in the world of e-monster!

..unless that was a he. =(

PokemonDiamond_257.png
PokemonDiamond_258.png
PokemonDiamond_259.png

This politician does not know how to use a phone. Yay!

PokemonDiamond_260.png
PokemonDiamond_261.png

Let what happen, the losing or the running into doors?

PokemonDiamond_262.png

...bye?

PokemonDiamond_263.png
PokemonDiamond_265.png
PokemonDiamond_266.png

'I'll only sleep for a few days at a time in future!'

PokemonDiamond_267.png
PokemonDiamond_268.png

No.

PokemonDiamond_270.png

'It's not baseball, I'm pretty sure! This is boring!'

PokemonDiamond_273.png
PokemonDiamond_274.png
PokemonDiamond_275.png
PokemonDiamond_276.png
PokemonDiamond_277.png

Another number!

PokemonDiamond_278.png

Gotta like that the one responsible for the water supply is a sloth.

pokemondiamond541.png

...A sloth with missiles in its hair. Ok.

PokemonDiamond_286.png

Outside, and straightaway we get a call. Ah well, it can wait until the next update!

Lapotop failure. Only got to see the first half of it. =[
Anyways, you encountered a Not-Kabutops! =D (That's gotta be a meme as well)
 
Lapotop failure. Only got to see the first half of it. =[
Anyways, you encountered a Not-Kabutops! =D (That's gotta be a meme as well)
There's a few other creatures which bear similarities (not just to Pokemon either, I might add!)
For a moment I thought she was just doing one enormous jump at the bottom there.
That is not a bad assumption I suppose, haha. Pity my gifs only depend on how many times I can mash the screenshot button at times. =(

Bit of a delay but here's the next part.


Part Five - Magical Trees!
Or MUSA tells us to do stuff for him after a lot of talking.

PokemonDiamond_286.png

So last off we got a phone call the moment we got out. This happens in the game a lot. How conveniently timed!

PokemonDiamond_288.png
PokemonDiamond_289.png

'Oh, nothing much. We just encountered some politicians and found out MUSA hired a SLOTH to do the water transporting. And there wasn't any baseball either.'

PokemonDiamond_290.png

I like how Bek has to jump even when talking to someone through a phone. No doubt Sungki is also doing his fair share of jumping.

PokemonDiamond_291.png
PokemonDiamond_292.png

A rare moment when a full piece of dialogue make sense. Let us cherish this moment.

PokemonDiamond_293.png
PokemonDiamond_294.png
PokemonDiamond_295.png
PokemonDiamond_296.png

...Mr .MUSA? One thinks they took the Japanese text too literally here. Either that or MUSA has been having quite the, uh, influence on Sungki. Somehow. ._.

PokemonDiamond_297.png

And back to our Engrish.

PokemonDiamond_298.png
PokemonDiamond_299.png
PokemonDiamond_300.png

And so begins the fun trip back.

PokemonDiamond_301.png

The CLAW.

PokemonDiamond_304.png
PokemonDiamond_305.png
PokemonDiamond_306.png

Yes it has. Very quickly too. Great,

PokemonDiamond_308.png
PokemonDiamond_309.png
PokemonDiamond_310.png
PokemonDiamond_311.png

Great, is the phrase of the day it seems.

PokemonDiamond_312.png
PokemonDiamond_313.png
PokemonDiamond_314.png

...Release what now? The person that was below has disappeared however so maybe this green dude isn't totally out of it.

PokemonDiamond_320.png
PokemonDiamond_321.png

Hey get out of our way, the sooner we get to the village the sooner we can get back and play BASEBALL! And besides... we did win? What are you talking about, random pink blob.

PokemonDiamond_322.png
PokemonDiamond_323.png

Sure, I could, but I don't really want to.

PokemonDiamond_324.png

God dang it.

PokemonDiamond_325.png

No this is not okay, you are wasting valuable baseball time. >:[

PokemonDiamond_329.png

See what you made Not-Sandslash do?

PokemonDiamond_331.png
PokemonDiamond_332.png

Sheesh go away already.

PokemonDiamond_333.png

...And he disappears without walking away or anything.

PokemonDiamond_335.png
PokemonDiamond_336.png

Well that's one quick sloth... and man, plain flavour is my favourite too!

PokemonDiamond_339.png
PokemonDiamond_340.png

If we didn't know that he was talking about unlocking the door or some-such that'd sound pretty wrong actually...

PokemonDiamond_341.png

...

That's it we're talking to MUSA.

PokemonDiamond_343.png

Yes, are you going to pay me anything?

PokemonDiamond_344.png
PokemonDiamond_345.png
PokemonDiamond_346.png

Yes, because I was the only who could be bothered to go wake him up. Besides the politicians I guess.

PokemonDiamond_347.png
PokemonDiamond_348.png

Bek now assumes a 'yeah, it's easy, I'm so cool' personality here. Despite the fact he did none of the battling.

PokemonDiamond_349.png
PokemonDiamond_350.png

~I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST, THAT NOONE EVER WAS~
~TO... GET THEIR NUMBERS IS MY REAL QUEST...~

PokemonDiamond_354.png
PokemonDiamond_355.png

'They all agreed to follow the baseball team I support! =D'

PokemonDiamond_356.png
PokemonDiamond_357.png
PokemonDiamond_358.png
PokemonDiamond_359.png

There is something about the way he said 'good thing' that just doesn't sit well with me. =(

treet.gif

Suddenly, a tree.

This tune again.

PokemonDiamond_378.png
PokemonDiamond_379.png
PokemonDiamond_380.png

So...what happened?

PokemonDiamond_381.png

Sigh. -_-

PokemonDiamond_383.png
PokemonDiamond_384.png
PokemonDiamond_385.png
PokemonDiamond_386.png

Magic trees! MUSA goes on to explain that you use the trees to teleport. Or rather 'to take a trip'.

PokemonDiamond_391.png
PokemonDiamond_393.png
PokemonDiamond_394.png
PokemonDiamond_395.png

All like Bek? Somehow I am not too sure... then again given what everyone else is like...

PokemonDiamond_397.png
PokemonDiamond_398.png

Wait, what? The powers... of doing what you say?

PokemonDiamond_400.png
PokemonDiamond_401.png

Mighty fine powers you have there, Bek.

PokemonDiamond_403.png
PokemonDiamond_404.png

You have to hand it to MUSA - he sure takes advantage of other people to do stuff for him...

PokemonDiamond_405.png
PokemonDiamond_406.png
PokemonDiamond_407.png

How's Kelina's water supply going?

PokemonDiamond_408.png

'SOMETHING'!? OH NO!

PokemonDiamond_409.png
PokemonDiamond_410.png
PokemonDiamond_411.png

To the power!

PokemonDiamond_413.png
PokemonDiamond_414.png

I will also speak like a robot.

PokemonDiamond_416.png
PokemonDiamond_417.png
PokemonDiamond_418.png

Implying that if I refused I would have been disallowed to leave the village. Lovely!

PokemonDiamond_420.png
PokemonDiamond_421.png
PokemonDiamond_422.png

Yeah, things could be worse. I could go live with MUSA like Sungki does for THE ENTIRE GAME. Imagine all the 'good' and 'funny' things MUSA shows him, eh?

PokemonDiamond_423.png
PokemonDiamond_424.png

He gets too many 'clues' and many of them are pretty darn useless. =( Think of those calls from your mother all the time in HGSS - he says different things but just as frequently.

PokemonDiamond_426.png
PokemonDiamond_427.png

"Like watch baseball? =D"

PokemonDiamond_428.png
PokemonDiamond_429.png
PokemonDiamond_430.png
PokemonDiamond_431.png
PokemonDiamond_432.png

In other words - a good reason to make friends is so you can use them to call in favours! Remember that, friend - we'll depend on you!

PokemonDiamond_434.png
PokemonDiamond_435.png

And they leave.

This is a pretty good point to leave it off at, actually! Hurrah for getting past that uneventful, info-dumping scene.

Aw, no replies this time around? Oh well, have an update anyways. =p

Part Six - Kelina Village!
Or talking to a lot of weird people and things who want bombs.

PokemonDiamond_435.png

So, uh, last time we were told to go to this other town via the natural transportation system of GIANT TREE. I guess we go in...?

PokemonDiamond_437.png

Well that was exciting. Wonder if they have any baseball there?

Catchy Overworld Theme!

Different town, same music. This is pretty much consistent for a while.

PokemonDiamond_439.png
PokemonDiamond_440.png

Yes, we gathered as much from the giant floating sign above our heads when we first entered.

PokemonDiamond_441.png
PokemonDiamond_442.png

Yep, I can see that too, given all the busy-ness around here.

PokemonDiamond_443.png
PokemonDiamond_444.png

Well, can it? My guess is yes - the crazy, and the crazier.

PokemonDiamond_445.png
PokemonDiamond_446.png

TWO! Two kind of electric monsters! HAHAHA

PokemonDiamond_447.png

Natural? What makes one natural? ARE HALF OF YOU SECRETLY ROBOTS!?

PokemonDiamond_448.png
PokemonDiamond_449.png

...so no Baseball monster, how disappointing.

PokemonDiamond_450.png
PokemonDiamond_451.png

More fight!

PokemonDiamond_453.png
PokemonDiamond_454.png
PokemonDiamond_455.png

What lazy things they must be. 'Son, have you evolved yet?' 'I'll do it this afternoooonnnn...' 'Don't make me come upstairs!' But how do you evolve them?

PokemonDiamond_457.png
PokemonDiamond_458.png
PokemonDiamond_459.png
PokemonDiamond_460.png

Uh... I'm going to leave now.

PokemonDiamond_461.png

LEAVING

PokemonDiamond_466.png

Oh?

PokemonDiamond_467.png
PokemonDiamond_468.png
PokemonDiamond_469.png
PokemonDiamond_470.png

...okay. A guy who you never saw before likes some sort of gun, good to know.

PokemonDiamond_471.png
PokemonDiamond_472.png
PokemonDiamond_473.png
PokemonDiamond_474.png

Yep - how else would you get entertainment without someone just walking out of any old tree?

PokemonDiamond_475.png
PokemonDiamond_476.png

What do you mean, I just use one just fine... unless you mean there's another one in which case that makes more sense. Nobody wants to visit MUSA. =(

PokemonDiamond_477.png
PokemonDiamond_478.png

...that was quick?

PokemonDiamond_479.png
PokemonDiamond_480.png
PokemonDiamond_481.png

So you were lying? But what key and who or what is Alice aaaaaaaaa.

PokemonDiamond_482.png
PokemonDiamond_483.png
PokemonDiamond_484.png

I don't think anyone really knows what's going here.

PokemonDiamond_485.png

Best house ever, guys. Let's try going down...

PokemonDiamond_489.png

Well, I was only-

PokemonDiamond_490.png

=(

PokemonDiamond_492.png

Oh hey, it's that annoying person! Standing next to TREASURE! However they do not notice Bek, or just ignore his shouts of Baseball.

PokemonDiamond_493.png
PokemonDiamond_495.png
PokemonDiamond_496.png

But there's clearly one right behind you, gosh. Why does everyone block everything this town sucks. =(

PokemonDiamond_497.png

Oh hey, wild owl monster things here. Maybe we can try-

PokemonDiamond_498.png

=( Even with the type advantage he ran! Monsters sometimes do that at low health.

PokemonDiamond_501.png
PokemonDiamond_502.png

Story time! (After jumping).

PokemonDiamond_503.png
PokemonDiamond_504.png
PokemonDiamond_505.png

SANARBA... great name.

PokemonDiamond_506.png
PokemonDiamond_507.png
PokemonDiamond_508.png

ADULTS MUST PAY IN SOUL POWER. Also you surely mean 'here', not 'there'. =(

PokemonDiamond_509.png

No Bek, they're not a Baseball team.

PokemonDiamond_510.png
PokemonDiamond_511.png
PokemonDiamond_512.png
PokemonDiamond_513.png

Wait... a pharmacy company discovered this word?

I knew it. This is all because of drugs.

Nothing much else of note is said besides Bek saying that he is confused. Can't blame the kid. He is promptly advised to 'try to get more friends'. Oh, burn.

PokemonDiamond_521.png

Oh not you again.

PokemonDiamond_522.png

Oh no!

PokemonDiamond_523.png
PokemonDiamond_524.png
PokemonDiamond_525.png
PokemonDiamond_526.png
PokemonDiamond_527.png

...uh. That's Manstl, folks - got a problem? No worries - he recommends giving your friends BOMBS! That'll solve everything! Remember it.

These random calls steadily get worse as you'll see. =p

PokemonDiamond_528.png

Oh, this sucks... let's go and look for someone else to talk to-

PokemonDiamond_529.png

AAAAAAAAAAAAA WHAT ARE YOU GET AWAY

PokemonDiamond_530.png

GUMI'S A CREEPER =(

PokemonDiamond_532.png

Yes, thank you, Not-Sandslash. Overkill is always a good way to get rid of it. (Type advantage, yo). But god it has rolls of fat and

PokemonDiamond_533.png

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

PokemonDiamond_534.png

See, the fat doubles as protection from attacks. =(

PokemonDiamond_535.png

I bet you this guy heard about how we should give him a BOMB.

PokemonDiamond_540.png

Yep, how about that. Should we give him a BOMB?

PokemonDiamond_539.png

No, I think a CLAW TO THE FACE is better. =(

PokemonDiamond_544.png

More interesting 'dex' entries. At least this one kinda makes sense as it is based on an owl?

PokemonDiamond_545.png

The grass is now DIAMONDS. (No, really - running fast to cut grass can find you diamonds. They're worth more ball!)

PokemonDiamond_546.png

Yeah, you do that. At least you're not a creeper or want bombs.

PokemonDiamond_547.png
PokemonDiamond_548.png
PokemonDiamond_549.png
PokemonDiamond_550.png

Yeah, so did I...whatever you are. Mini cyclone maybe?

PokemonDiamond_552.png

Why are you asking meeeeeeee and obviously we can't enter because he's - wait, he's a Gumi isn't he. =( No wonder nobody can enter with that...thing in the way!

PokemonDiamond_553.png

Speaking of the devil...

PokemonDiamond_554.png
PokemonDiamond_555.png
PokemonDiamond_556.png

Search sounds... uh. Actually I want to pick the 'not talk to you' option. Heck even baseball is infinitely better!

PokemonDiamond_557.png
PokemonDiamond_558.png

'Hurr durr, losing is fun!'

PokemonDiamond_559.png

...ok? Anyways when monsters call you they may ask you questions. How you answer may gain or lose 'FD' which is happiness I suppose. (Why FD is anyone's guess...FrienD?). Winning battles can also increase it. What it does is...uh...not clear.

PokemonDiamond_561.png
PokemonDiamond_562.png
PokemonDiamond_563.png

Ok, so he's in charge I guess?

PokemonDiamond_564.png
PokemonDiamond_565.png

Oh no! Shock! Horror! Oh the despair!

PokemonDiamond_566.png

...I thought you just said...nevermind.

Let's check the shop first.

Shop Theme!

PokemonDiamond_567.png

...Something looks off about these items...

PokemonDiamond_568.png

Let me shoa you my stabs.

PokemonDiamond_569.png

For all your Grim Reaper needs! And considering how much money we have look how affordable this stuff is! Great stuff for kids.

PokemonDiamond_570.png

Fun for the whole family!

PokemonDiamond_571.png

...uh.

PokemonDiamond_572.png

Wait why are you calling me AGAIN

PokemonDiamond_573.png
PokemonDiamond_574.png
PokemonDiamond_575.png

...I am not making this up - I looked at the bomb and then he calls me and decides to tell me ABOUT OTHER FIRENDS OF HIS THAT WANT A BOMB. GOOD GRIEF.

MANSTL WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM

PokemonDiamond_576.png
PokemonDiamond_577.png
PokemonDiamond_578.png

What.

And then phone calls got even more creepy.

PokemonDiamond_579.png
PokemonDiamond_580.png

Oh god you also know. Stop trying to sweet-talk your way into getting a bomb!

PokemonDiamond_583.png
PokemonDiamond_585.png

No, pretending to be crazy or helpful ISN'T HELPING YOUR CAUSE.

PokemonDiamond_588.png

Not-Sandslash pops up to warn us about our bomb-loving friends.

That'll do for this update.

In Telefang, body image is not a worry. =p



Part Seven - Search for a Thief!
Or a lot of talking to someone and trying to find [Key]!

So, last off we were being warned by Not-Sandslash... you could say that our bomb-loving 'friends' are rather, well-

Pokemon%20Diamond_589.png

Yes, well put, whoever is behind that floating text box.

Pokemon%20Diamond_590.png

Oh, it's another of...those things. Guess we ought to talk to it.

Pokemon%20Diamond_591.png

Bek sure does have a way with words.

Pokemon%20Diamond_592.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_593.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_594.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_595.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_596.png

Not the key! But I guess that's what was being talked about beforehand!
Gotta like that it's not clear who's asking 'who did so'.

Pokemon%20Diamond_597.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_598.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_599.png

...The prisoner stole the key? What prisoner?

Pokemon%20Diamond_600.png

Basically sums it up!

Pokemon%20Diamond_603.png

That's...real deep, man.

Pokemon%20Diamond_605.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_606.png

Yeah, you tell him, Bek!

Pokemon%20Diamond_607.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_608.png

Gosh, that's pretty pathetic of you.

Pokemon%20Diamond_609.png

See, even Bek jumps at the patheticness. Deal with your own problems!

Pokemon%20Diamond_610.png

Wait what.

Pokemon%20Diamond_613.png

God damn it Bek.

Pokemon%20Diamond_614.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_615.png

I mean... Well done, Bek!

But then again given how weird people are here... with our luck he'll just give us a bomb.

Pokemon%20Diamond_617.png

Guess we ought to go find our thief. Bek, who do you think stole-

Pokemon%20Diamond_620.png

Well ok.

Pokemon%20Diamond_621.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_622.png

But Bek that is a monster I doubt he even has pockets for a key.

Pokemon%20Diamond_624.png

See, no pockets!

Pokemon%20Diamond_625.png

Unfortunately SUKORI didn't quite think it had been a peaceful accusation.

Pokemon%20Diamond_626.png

Gotta like veiled threats!

Pokemon%20Diamond_627.png

Clearly SUKORI knows which is the bigger threat here - the oversized ugly Jabba the Hut.

Pokemon%20Diamond_628.png

Uh, I don't think it's a good idea to bite...that thing...

Pokemon%20Diamond_629.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_630.png

Well damn.

Pokemon%20Diamond_631.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_632.png

Nor it seems about what to bite or not. Clearly not our thief then because...well, he said so.

Pokemon%20Diamond_633.png

And then he disappears into thin air. I guess one can assume he died of food poisoning.

Pokemon%20Diamond_635.png

Oh look, that annoying person showed up! I just hope by 'leave it to me' she isn't going to try and eat GUMI too. =(

Miyor's Theme Music!

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

If you were referring to GUMI then we are also wondering the same thing.

Pokemon%20Diamond_640.png

Clearly Bek is none too pleased.

Pokemon%20Diamond_642.png

Quick, Bek, think up an excuse!

Pokemon%20Diamond_643.png

Well done, Bek.

Pokemon%20Diamond_644.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_645.png

Yes! Going to other worlds promotes you to the rank of 'ordinary!'

Pokemon%20Diamond_646.png

Uh...well, you see...

Pokemon%20Diamond_647.png

Well put, Bek. He's 'missing', all right.

Pokemon%20Diamond_648.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_649.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_650.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_651.png

I like how the game calls the thief 'prisoner' despite the fact one only becomes a prisoner when, you know, they're caught, not before. Unless we're talking about some poor confused curry worker who escaped and tried to use the key to get the hell away from this place... say Miyor, how do we get back?

Pokemon%20Diamond_653.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_654.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_655.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_656.png

Fat load of help you are. =( And yes, we said the same thing when he bit GUMI.

Pokemon%20Diamond_659.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_660.png

"You know the type - someone who has a moustache, evil laugh, a key and dislikes baseball, for instance. That's always suspicious!"

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

Ah yes, so there is.

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

Is that so! It's nice when Miyor is actually being helpful.

Pokemon%20Diamond_667.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_668.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_669.png

'Something happened', how specific.

After being thanked by Bek for being of big help:

Pokemon%20Diamond_672.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_673.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_674.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_675.png

Oh snap again! Implying Bek is not a good pal here, and then telling him to move.

Pokemon%20Diamond_676.png

And jumping for extra measure! =o

Pokemon%20Diamond_677.png
Pleasedontalkaboutbombspleasedontalkaboutbombspleasedontalkaboutbombs....

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

The left option really does make sense - we've no idea what he is talking about! Hurrah for random phone quizzes.

Pokemon%20Diamond_680.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_681.png

I... guess? And what is this Resu option?

Pokemon%20Diamond_682.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_683.png

Hurrah? Uh, let's just talk to that guard.

Pokemon%20Diamond_688.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_689.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_690.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_691.png

This is sounding rather like a religious cult...

Pokemon%20Diamond_692.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_693.png

...Are you ok?

Pokemon%20Diamond_694.png

To place emphasis on his not-okayness he jumps... and then this tune starts up!

http://www.upload-mp3.com/files/353911_dh26u/Keitai%20Denjuu%20Telefang%20-%2022_badguy.mp3]Bad Guy Theme Music![/url]
Just in case the following screenshot didn't give it away, you know.

Pokemon%20Diamond_695.png

I like how he said 'shut up' when Bek has really said nothing to him. That and his choice word there.

Pokemon%20Diamond_696.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_697.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_698.png

And he continues to ramble to himself.

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

Ooh, and now Bek is the 'damned guy'... and he still wants to shut him up.

Pokemon%20Diamond_701.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_702.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_703.png

Ways in advance?

Pokemon%20Diamond_705.png

Oh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_706.png

I hate all of you GUMIS. =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_708.png

Normally that level would be of a worry, but given it's a 2-on-1 battle in our favour...
Pokemon%20Diamond_710.png

...and we have Not-Sandslash...

Pokemon%20Diamond_711.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_712.png

...who has a type advantage...

Pokemon%20Diamond_713.png

It's a fun one-sided battle lasting one turn. \o/

Pokemon%20Diamond_716.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_717.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_718.png

Maybe, but you didn't, so.

Pokemon%20Diamond_719.png

No.

Pokemon%20Diamond_721.png

Curses, he escaped under the veil of the text screen again! And look, a phone call! It's from Sungki as usual.

Pokemon%20Diamond_723.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_724.png

KAKUZATO had done sth. !?!? Oh dear!

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

Uh, firstly you're talking to Bek, Sungki, so you can refer to him directly. And do you mean 'where Bek is' or 'lived'? I'm inclined to think the former, but well, it's telefang! English good not!

Pokemon%20Diamond_728.png

And having entered the cave, we'll end this here! Battles and random phone calls await in the next update!

Doop de doop, holidays again, let's see how much of this I can get done then.

Also had to recently reupload and reupdate all the music links as the place they were hosted went under for good. =/ I clearly have all the luck! If any previous sound links didn't work please let me know.


Part Eight - Kelina Cave
Or Learning about Peach Boy and KAKUZATO


Pokemon%20Diamond_728.png

Cave Theme!

So, we're in. Let's go and- at that point I got a phone call with more questions. I was lucky to save the game beforehand - certain phone calls are always in a specific order so this keeps repeating no matter which one calls me. Hence I could explore all the options and what is said for each one!

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

This is a [question]! Yes No

But who the frell is Peach Boy? Is he talking about this?

200px-JamesAndTheGiantPeach.jpg

Well uh, let's say yes.

Pokemon%20Diamond_739.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_740.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_741.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_742.png

Abuh. Is Peach Boy a Glutinous millet bun what.

The answer btw is yes. (Different e-monster asking this time)
Pokemon%20Diamond_753.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_754.png

Dwell on that for a bit.

And if we said no to that...statement about it hearing a story about Peach Boy:

Pokemon%20Diamond_743.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_744.png

Now that's just rude. =(

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

And then he asks us another 'question' about Peach Boy despite saying we do not know. Uhhhh...

Yes:

Pokemon%20Diamond_751.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_752.png

Turtledove what.

No:

Pokemon%20Diamond_748.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_749.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_750.png

I'm not even sure of what I am supposed to sense!

Possibly the most confusing part of the game dialogue-wise.

Pokemon%20Diamond_755.png

Noooo we don't need any more crazy questions! AAAAAAA

Pokemon%20Diamond_757.png

I don't know anymore I think my brain is bleeding.

Pokemon%20Diamond_758.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_759.png

What, is Peach Boy here?

Pokemon%20Diamond_760.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_761.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_762.png

Wait, what?

Pokemon%20Diamond_763.png

There's more than one of these KAKUZATO? Oh dear.

Pokemon%20Diamond_764.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_765.png

RODANSA - he's Cool!

Pokemon%20Diamond_766.png

Hurrah for a 2-on-1 battle. Just as well we got OSIE in the cave too, because anything else takes 3 turns to reach us! When RODANSA has the type advantage, that's pretty significant.

Pokemon%20Diamond_767.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_768.png

And hence the battle is easy!

Pokemon%20Diamond_769.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_773.png

From here nearly every 'trainer' battle results in you getting a phone number.

Pokemon%20Diamond_770.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_771.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_772.png

Whatever you say, religious cult member.

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

What is it? I wish I knew too...

Pokemon%20Diamond_779.png

Hey, you don't know either!

Pokemon%20Diamond_780.png

Le sigh. What are they even anyway? Aliens? Cosplayers?

Pokemon%20Diamond_781.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_782.png

Quick and easy provided you've done a bit of grinding beforehand. Not that we needed more owls though.

Moving onwards!

Pokemon%20Diamond_785.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_786.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_787.png

You should totally quit and just let me past without a battle.

Pokemon%20Diamond_788.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_790.png

Yes, it is troublesome-

Pokemon%20Diamond_791.png

Yet he still battles.

Pokemon%20Diamond_792.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_782.png

Owls everywhere! We now have all the owls. ALL OF THEM.

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

"First election, are you half study half work,". I'm sure he's trying to tell me something, but what?

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

I suppose Not-Sandslash counts as a thing.

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

Not more of them!

Pokemon%20Diamond_800.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_801.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_802.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_803.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_804.png

Wait, pals? If you mean those owls you can have them, I already had the phone number of one and frankly one is more than enough. Stupid bomb-loving thing...

Pokemon%20Diamond_806.png

Clearly having someone's phone number is serious business!

Pokemon%20Diamond_807.png

And so we meet the angry starfish.

Pokemon%20Diamond_809.png

Now they start having more than one creature! However theirs take a few turns to arrive, and as type advantages come into play...

Pokemon%20Diamond_810.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_811.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_812.png

We win before the other arrives, and hence end the battle early.

Pokemon%20Diamond_813.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_815.png

...let's just move on then, shall we?

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

I guess you mean the guy above you who I just beat up...?

Pokemon%20Diamond_819.png

How without grammar?

Pokemon%20Diamond_820.png

"The land of baseball!"

Pokemon%20Diamond_822.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_808.png

It's a dinosaur! A Cowardly one, but he has pants!

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

Similar story - easy battle, ended before the other creature arrives.

Pokemon%20Diamond_827.png

But then why does it seem like he is wearing pants...? And how does that even work - pockets on the feet? Man, biology sure screwed up a lot of things around here.

Pokemon%20Diamond_826.png

We defeated the competition? Can we not save the day anymore? Maybe the exit is onwards...

walkwalkwalkphone.gif

Curses!

Pokemon%20Diamond_832.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_833.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_834.png

Oh look, the bomb loving friend has returned, and managed to get the ]tags[ wrong as well. But look, a question even Bek can answer!

Pokemon%20Diamond_835.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_836.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_837.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_838.png

It seems the game suddenly turned into Baseball Trivia - now with extra owls.

Pokemon%20Diamond_839.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_840.png

"And by bat, I mean [Bomb]."

Anyways now we can continue-

Pokemon%20Diamond_841.png

Curses again!

Pokemon%20Diamond_842.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_843.png

Imagine your town or village or whatnot suddenly overrun overnight by KAKUZATO...whatever they are. =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_844.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_845.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_846.png

Try catching some proper grammar first. OH!

Pokemon%20Diamond_847.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_848.png

C'mon, I was only kidding.

Pokemon%20Diamond_849.png

Man, these guys sure are sensitive.

Pokemon%20Diamond_851.png

Oh cool, a scorpion! And something that has decent defence as well, notably!

Pokemon%20Diamond_852.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_854.png

It has scissors!? =o

Pokemon%20Diamond_853.png

Yes, I'm sorry too. Sorry that I've had to beat up all of these...things. Whatever they really are.

Pokemon%20Diamond_855.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_856.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_857.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_858.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_859.png

I understand the first part - this village is important location-wise and so he wants to have power here... only then it breaks down at the end. Or does he only want to vote that badly? I don't even. Sounds like crazy politician talk again.

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

Ramble all you like, you're still going to lose.

Say, OSIE, maybe you'd like to do something in this battle! Not-Sandslash is doing all the work here -what can you do?

starey2.gif

Oh god what are you doinggggggg

Pokemon%20Diamond_866.png

I don't blame you, PUNIKA. =(

Note that being afraid is basically a status in the game - rather like being frozen in the Pokemon games. However on the turn you 'stop being afraid' you still can't do anything. Yay broken moves!

Pokemon%20Diamond_869.png

PUNKIA is quickly persuaded to join us.

Pokemon%20Diamond_873.png

???

Pokemon%20Diamond_870.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_871.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_872.png

I can't win TABASUKO. Aww. Like all the others he fades away after spouting his engrish.

Pokemon%20Diamond_874.png

Oh well, maybe this set of stairs leads us closer to TABASUKO or the exit or something. As long as its not the way to Peach Boy. I might just eat that millet bun.

Pokemon%20Diamond_876.png

Oh hey it's curry guy. I knew a politician was lurking about!

Pokemon%20Diamond_877.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_878.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_879.png

Why indeed? Wait, is this Bek saying this, questioning the fact that Mr Curry is suddenly here? Wow.

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

...I guess I'll let Bek go there?

Pokemon%20Diamond_887.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_888.png

Ramble ramble and then a swear!

Pokemon%20Diamond_889.png

Even Bek is shocked!

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

I think Bek had enough of KAKUZATO.

Pokemon%20Diamond_892.png

Our politician dislikes this allegation!

Pokemon%20Diamond_893.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_894.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_895.png

Give it to me you sure will!

Pokemon%20Diamond_896.png

Why is that [even in brackets?]

Pokemon%20Diamond_897.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_898.png

Either he's a wimp or TABASUKO said that she disliked curry. Oh well, we're almost there!

wheewalk.gif

That was quick! TABASUKO must be in the next room - let's see what she is doing!

jumpy1.gif

Uh... jumping about like crazy?

Pokemon%20Diamond_912.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_913.png

I guess that explains it?

Pokemon%20Diamond_926.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_927.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_928.png

She'll not be just a woman - she'll be a woman head! =o

jumpy2.gif

She sure is excitable... ._.

Pokemon%20Diamond_930.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_931.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_932.png

Not seen - Bek jumping. But hey, she remembers his name!

Pokemon%20Diamond_934.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_939.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_935.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_936.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_940.png

One - he won the election in his hometown election. This redundancy is redundant!
Two - they're married/related!? Yet he is referred to as Mr NERIKARI so their names are different... uh.
Three - why should he be not underestimated anyways!?

Pokemon%20Diamond_941.png

...is it?

Pokemon%20Diamond_942.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_943.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_944.png

Oh, she calling for help. Typical.

Pokemon%20Diamond_945.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_946.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_947.png

What is that supposed to mean? Is she referring to herself? Does she think Bek is evil? Or is Bek talking? Thing is he did not jump then aaaaaaaa.

This game is confusing.

Pokemon%20Diamond_948.png

See? Logic falls to pieces!

Boss Battle Theme!

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

Why hello there, snake with arms.

Pokemon%20Diamond_951.png

Good news - we currently have the advantage.

Bad news - if we can't knock out that snake before the others arrive it's a 2 vs 3 battle in her favour.

Pokemon%20Diamond_952.png

Thanks for the advice!

poison.gif

Ew, that's just mean! Get him, Not-Sandslash!

Pokemon%20Diamond_960.png

Wat. No, missing is bad!

Pokemon%20Diamond_961.png

And then he one-hits OSIE. =( Looks like we're-

Pokemon%20Diamond_962.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_963.png

And then Not-Sandslash one-hits him back?

Pokemon%20Diamond_964.png

Hurrah for the quickest and yet most murderous battle thus far?

Pokemon%20Diamond_966.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_967.png

Yeah, I'm surprised too!

Pokemon%20Diamond_969.png

Sorry.

Pokemon%20Diamond_971.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_974.png

She then jumps up and down a lot to place emphasis on this fact. You know, in case it wasn't obvious enough.

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

"The GREATEST head in all of the heads in the land!"

keyget.gif

She runs off and never reappears again.

No, really, that's it from her in the game. But hey, we now have the key to the tree! Now we can go...somewhere else!

Pokemon%20Diamond_986.png

Yay, I suppose!

Pokemon%20Diamond_985.png

Yay agai-wait.

...

Pokemon%20Diamond_988.png

Yes, well put, Not-Sandslash. Remember: you didn't see anything.

Pokemon%20Diamond_990.png

I like how he's not sure of who he is any more.

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

How did he know what we just did?

Pokemon%20Diamond_993.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_994.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_995.png

Hint hint. I suppose MUSA told him to tell us to go help everyone else for him...

But that'll wait for the next update!
 
Yeah, I think so too.... pity is it is so vague and unclear to begin with. =(



Part Nine: Off to Alice!
Or a lack of good judgement and more questionable NPCs.



pokemondiamond995.png

So last time we were told to keep going. I guess we should tell that guy we got the key back. And definitely not mention those revolvers.

Catchy Overworld Theme!
pokemondiamond996.png
pokemondiamond997.png

What discussions? And I solved those problems! Keep with the times...whatever you are!

Pokemon%20Diamond_1000.png

Who is 'he'? Typical NPCs making little sense.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1003.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1004.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1005.png

Is it a ticket out of this place?

Pokemon%20Diamond_1006.png

Reform card?

Pokemon%20Diamond_1007.png

I guess they are like P-cards...?

Pokemon%20Diamond_1009.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1010.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1011.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1012.png

Bek somehow knows (despite never having been here before) that these cards are the way to evolve stuff. Uh.... And yet he doesn't want to take them although that's not necessarily a bad idea...

Pokemon%20Diamond_1014.png

'Don't let your conscious get to you - these magic cards are so cool! And shiny!'

Pokemon%20Diamond_1016.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1017.png

Bek is showing a surprising lack of morals here.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1019.png

Yes, they should. With something better. >:[ All we got for beating up a whole group of politicians as thanks were two cards.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1043.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1044.png

I don't know what this way is, but I sure like the sound of that!

Pokemon%20Diamond_1056.png

Meanwhile Not-Sandslash levelled up, yay. Not half-bad for this stage of the game tbh. Anyways, let's get out of here and to the next place. I want some food.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1057.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1058.png

I guess it worked? But...why is the tree in a building anyway? True story - in my first ever playthrough I was terribly confused on where to go because of this fact - I made the mistake of looking for a tree like everyone said I should do. Key lesson - never trust anyone here!

As a beside, you may notice the screenshot is darker - Telefang has a day-night system! Not half-bad in fact.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1059.png

Bah.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1060.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1061.png

No.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1062.png

The Miss...?

Pokemon%20Diamond_1063.png

Cue image of a person stuck in a finger ring shouting for help. God damn bears! But apparently the answer is A...

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

Yes, such thoughts never occurred to myself either, tbh...

Hey, is that a ufo in the sky?

swtichtime.gif

This is how switching your 'main e-monster' works. They get abducted by aliens and fly off only to be replaced by...wait a second...

Pokemon%20Diamond_49.png

GODDAMNIT I guess there's no getting around it - he wants his BOMB. =( And now we have a card that evolves stuff...

reform.gif

...Are you sure you want to evolve, stalker owl?

reform.gif

WHAT HAVE WE DONE!?

Pokemon%20Diamond_1042.png

...wait, what?

After all that bugging it only gives you some experience. Sure, it sounds like he got a lot...then you look at the number at the top there and see that it gave him 24, possibly less if this one took part in any battles. =/ Enough to go up one level, but although some items do evolve creatures, this one did not.

This is stupid let's just go to Alice already.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1067.png

It's so hip and happening!

Pokemon%20Diamond_03.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_04.png

Excitement! Where's the shops so we can eat some fish?

Pokemon%20Diamond_05.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_06.png

Okay sheesh.

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

Maybe they don't like fish?

Pokemon%20Diamond_11.png

Hmm, no shop or sea here...

Pokemon%20Diamond_12.png

What a nice welcome! Maybe you're one of the sane ones who didn't drop out of english classes?

Pokemon%20Diamond_13.png

Yay! I think!

Pokemon%20Diamond_14.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_15.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_16.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_17.png

This Frankenstein's Monster lookalike fellow however...

Pokemon%20Diamond_19.png

Hey there!

Pokemon%20Diamond_20.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_21.png

Now, see, this guy's sentence makes more or less enough sense thus far...

Pokemon%20Diamond_22.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_23.png

Followed Vigina...? Trees live where? In the sea? Um.

Pokemon%20Diamond_25.png

What a boring house. =( Where's that shop!?

Pokemon%20Diamond_26.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_27.png

Well is there a food shop?

Pokemon%20Diamond_28.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_29.png

Yay, a town with no shop. Oh well, let's talk to random people! Might as well be friendly and all that jazz!

Pokemon%20Diamond_30.png

Well hi! =D

Pokemon%20Diamond_31.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_32.png

:<

I dislike this place.

Pokemon%20Diamond_34.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_35.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_36.png

And you're plain unhelpful. Way to state the obvious and what we've already been told!

Pokemon%20Diamond_46.png

Oh joy, another phone call.

Pokemon%20Diamond_47.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_48.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_49.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_50.png

Firstly, he refers to MUSA as a presbyter. If you don't know what that is:
Wikipedia said:
Presbyter in the New Testament refers to a leader in local Christian congregations, then a synonym of episkopos (which has now come to mean bishop.
Secondly...MUSA wants a propeller?

musapropellerhat.png

ALL HAIL BISHOP MUSA

Pokemon%20Diamond_51.png

He heard fishing a lot!

Pokemon%20Diamond_52.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_53.png

Why is that?

Pokemon%20Diamond_54.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_56.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_57.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_58.png

His rambling may seem silly and whingy, but I assure you he's not kidding about that part.

Pokemon%20Diamond_59.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_60.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_62.png

...okay...

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

Well if they looked at you, Mr. Frakenstein's Monster, I don't blame them. No offense.

Pokemon%20Diamond_66.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_67.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_68.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_69.png

...you wanted to eat them? Good grief.

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

Whatever you say, talking house.

Pokemon%20Diamond_72.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_73.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_74.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_75.png

'Are good one, my friend just this one.' Powerful wording!

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

Maybe you also wanted to eat him? See, fish I'll eat, but electric monsters...yeah, no.

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

Oh hey a friend of Bek's apparently!

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

What kind of a name is Wunan, firstly? And Bek sure got friends all right - all by telling Not-Sandslash to beat them to a pulp until they gave us their phone number.

Pokemon%20Diamond_90.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_91.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_92.png

Oh no Bek get out of there he wants your card! Anyone calling you cool has a secret ulterior motive!

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

NO

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

That's rather rude. =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_124.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_125.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_126.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_127.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_128.png

"This [sea hole] was very historic! So much that nobody has ever seen it."

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

Nah, it's not like they live there or anything!

That's enough Alice Town people let's try going east a bit.

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

=o They have police here!? Let's tell them about MUSA.

Pokemon%20Diamond_134.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_135.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_136.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_137.png

Wow, uh... Actually I don't think they'd be of much help. The brains in our heads should also be take good care of!

Inside the house someone tells us that they protect the woods and that it is their headquarters. Yay. -_-

Pokemon%20Diamond_148.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_149.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_150.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_151.png

...Good to know?

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

Cool, let's go check it out-

Pokemon%20Diamond_154.png

It's a pink Octorok?

Pokemon%20Diamond_155.png

A friendly one!

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

Hurrah for type advantages in our favour.

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

And now we have this thing's phone number. As long as he doesn't ask for bombs I guess?

Pokemon%20Diamond_161.png

Wikipedia said:
Cupula also describes a structure surrounding hair cell receptors sensitive to hydrodynamic flow in fish.

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

I would, but your text boxes are blocking my view of it. =( I bet he hid treasure there! Spill the beans!

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

You suck.

I suppose we can try to swim there? Let's go to the beach!

Pokemon%20Diamond_170.png

Hey, we can't enter the water! This sucks. Maybe this guy sitting here can help us?

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

No, that's just Bek. He's a random kid, not a man! Funny that he only noticed us when we talked to him.

Pokemon%20Diamond_173.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_174.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_176.png

See? Bek's no man, he's trying to run away-wait.

Nowhere to escape? But you just came from above...uh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_177.png

Will our hero be eaten by the e-monster from the sea? Will Bek manage to get past that invisible wall and escape from the thing that looks like a lamp from behind? WILL ANY FISH EVER GET CONSUMED!?

Find out in the next update!
 
Part Ten: THE SEA
Or a guide to remembering it.


Pokemon%20Diamond_177.png

So last off Bek was being a wuss and failing to escape from a sea e-monster because 'Nowhere to escape!'. Somehow.

Pokemon%20Diamond_178.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_179.png

Yes, Bek, yes it is.

Pokemon%20Diamond_180.png

Or, well, ok to jump at any rate.

Pokemon%20Diamond_181.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_182.png

You heard the blue foul-mouthed vase-like sprite, Bek. Wonder what he wants to tell Bek, besides 'stop being stupid'.

Pokemon%20Diamond_183.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_185.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_186.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_187.png

...as one does. But he has a point - someone mentioned that there's no shop here.

Pokemon%20Diamond_26.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_27.png

Well, tried to say as much anyway.

Pokemon%20Diamond_188.png

Fine, we'll pay attention to you.

Pokemon%20Diamond_189.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_190.png

Well what's in it for us?

Pokemon%20Diamond_192.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_193.png

...So if we don't then we can't go swimming here.

Normally you'd have to go all the way back to first village to buy the 'game machine' for him. Luckily way back beyond the fourth wall in the 3rd part we already did that!

PokemonDiamond_407.png
See?

Pokemon%20Diamond_194.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_196.png

I guess we might as well. It didn't even have batteries.

Pokemon%20Diamond_198.png

Here, you sea e-monster, I hope you enjoy it.

Pokemon%20Diamond_197.png

Wait no why are you jumping on it.

Pokemon%20Diamond_199.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_200.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_201.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_202.png

Why would you break it gosh that cost me forty balls! (It really did!) That's as many as four tens, and that's terrible.

Pokemon%20Diamond_206.png

...fine, play it the way you want to.

Pokemon%20Diamond_203.png

Hello there, Not-Vaporeon.

Pokemon%20Diamond_205.png

And...why did you give us this?

Pokemon%20Diamond_207.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_208.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_209.png

And then he disappears. Apparently we are supposed to call him to be able to go swimming.

Pokemon%20Diamond_210.png

They sure do. Then they swear at you, ask for presents and jump on them before giving you their phone number.

Pokemon%20Diamond_211.png

Well screw you Not-Vaporeon, we can swim - err, walk in the ocean ourselves! Maybe we'll call you if we get in a battle.

Bamu Sea Theme

The tune is not that great here, but oh well.

So people said the sea e-monsters were angry-

Pokemon%20Diamond_212.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_213.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_214.png

...wait, what? Go two steps and suddenly I...say what again?

Pokemon%20Diamond_215.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_216.png

But I don't even want a tree!

Pokemon%20Diamond_218.png

...well I guess a battle it is. Let's call that guy up then.

But Not-Sandslash, why did he say those things?

Pokemon%20Diamond_220.png

WHYYYYYYY

Pokemon%20Diamond_221.png

Good retaliation, Not-Sandslash.

Pokemon%20Diamond_222.png

Maybe he knows?

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

Sometime in battles, you'll get called by the creatures you call up, and they'll give you a message. For some reason it cuts short unless you mash the A button really quickly and have super-hyper-fast reading skills. The gist of it though is 'lol I'm going to be late' and they don't show up for a few more turns. Most annoying!

And this guy always does this. I bet he is too busy jumping on his game. >:[

Pokemon%20Diamond_225.png

However Not-Sandslash is very good at killing sea (water) types, so these battles are easy.

Pokemon%20Diamond_226.png

And then he disappears.

And...that's what happens in the sea. You walk about (because swimming is boring in the ocean), get shouted at by random monsters about trees and then they swear and shout 'remember it!'.

Pokemon%20Diamond_227.png

And just to put the icing on the cake the bomb-loving guy decides to call me again! I'm not sure why I'm getting so many calls from him...

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

My brain, it is melting.

Pokemon%20Diamond_231.png

Luckily the wild random encounters (ie battles not caused by someone shouting at you) don't involve swearing.

Pokemon%20Diamond_232.png

Translation - 'I accidentally the directions so I'm going to be late! ^_^'. Oh well, we can beat this guy too without-

Pokemon%20Diamond_233.png

AAAAAAA

Pokemon%20Diamond_234.png

ARE YOU OKAY NOT-SANDSLASH

Pokemon%20Diamond_235.png

I can't blame you there.

What just happened is why Mantea is actually a pretty interesting e-monster. That move is called SHOUT which basically gives the status of (being) 'afraid' to the opponent which renders them unable to do anything.

Although the effect is only temporary...

Pokemon%20Diamond_236.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_237.png

...that in itself takes up a whole turn. It's a nasty move, although wonderful if you abuse it yourself. =D

Pokemon%20Diamond_238.png

FINALLY whyever are you late!?

maflipper.png

Well then don't jump on your flipper next time, gosh.

What moves do you have anyway?
Pokemon%20Diamond_239.png

BITE does minor damage as this guy's attack sucks, COLDGAS is a lame status and RESUME is minor healing.

Well you're boring. We don't really need you anyways as Bek can apparently walk on water.

Pokemon%20Diamond_242.png

Not-Sandslash can kill stuff in one hit anyway here!

Pokemon%20Diamond_243.png

Oh hey he was also a high level AND gave us his phone number. Excellent. You are our new best friend, pink tentacle cow thing.

These sea e-monsters are not that bad after all!

Pokemon%20Diamond_246.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_247.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_248.png

I spoke too soon.

Pokemon%20Diamond_249.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_250.png

Why won't you listen to me!? I don't want your stupid trees.

Pokemon%20Diamond_251.png

Pointless trying to reason with these guys. This one is pretty poor defensively.

Pokemon%20Diamond_254.png

I don't want to remember that! =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_255.png

AAAAA GO AWAY

Pokemon%20Diamond_257.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_258.png

Overkill is always nice. (They don't even have 64 HP never mind 128).

Pokemon%20Diamond_259.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_260.png

Yaaaaaay lots of stat boosts this time around.

Pokemon%20Diamond_261.png

Why does everyone keep saying that?

Pokemon%20Diamond_262.png

You guys suck.

Pokemon%20Diamond_263.png

FISHMAN.

No, seriously, just look at that thing for a moment. Then turn away. Back to Fishman.

Pokemon%20Diamond_308.png

Unfortunately, he's also weak.

Pokemon%20Diamond_266.png

And rude like the others.

Pokemon%20Diamond_267.png

Meanwhile in 'other reasons why MANTEA is cool'!

Pokemon%20Diamond_268.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_269.png

Essentially it can hide and avoid being hit for a turn or few. Kinda pointless if it's on its own as it can't attack during hiding, but potentially useful if you have it in a team and the opponent tried to attack it.

Pokemon%20Diamond_270.png

You suck, LILIAO(B). (Whyever it shortens their name in battles is beyond me).

Now, I COULD repeat what happened here over and over besides the interesting parts throughout this whole trip, or I could give you the condensed version of what happens.

I'm opting for the latter.

remembering-1.gif

This line sums up Bamu Sea basically!

So I spent a bit of time grinding. Not that I had much choice:

Pokemon%20Diamond_273.png

=(

Some weren't very bright though.

Pokemon%20Diamond_275.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_277.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_279.png

???

After that straightforward battle though:

Pokemon%20Diamond_280.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_282.png

Wait, what? Well... let's do it!

EVOLUTION

evolving-1.gif

SO EXCITING

Pokemon%20Diamond_294.png

AOKUTERU! The...taller pink elephant tentacle thing!

More stats are gained with evolution and sometimes new/replaced/renamed moves. It's generally useful to have your creature evolve.

Pokemon%20Diamond_299.png

What useful advice shall we get now?

Pokemon%20Diamond_300.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_301.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_302.png

...

Pokemon%20Diamond_306.png

Now, at one point in THE SEA, you can go either right or left. The former leads you this this door (in the middle of the ocean mind you) which is locked. Oh well, time to backtrack a bit.

Pokemon%20Diamond_311.png

During that we got this guy's help too!

Pokemon%20Diamond_312.png

I can't say I know exactly how that works...

Pokemon%20Diamond_313.png

Going to the left leads you up to this guy.

Pokemon%20Diamond_314.png

Amazingly he doesn't ramble at you about forgetting pain from wounds and whatnot! This guy is basically the nicest guy you will meet here.

Pokemon%20Diamond_316.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_318.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_319.png

Ignoring the fact that there's a tree in the middle of the ocean and the completely left-field-ness of this bit of news (what guy?), a bit of thought can possibly explain the ranting of everyone else - they naturally assume you were the guy who was going to go wood-chopping. For some reason.

Pokemon%20Diamond_320.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_321.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_322.png

...and Bek seems to have a swollen ego now. T mildew if you remember is a term for people who use 'e-monsters well' - basically good trainers here. But Not-Sandslash has done all of the work, Bek, not you. Besides:

Pokemon%20Diamond_174.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_176.png

You're a coward Bek.

Pokemon%20Diamond_323.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_324.png

Apparently the other guy, whoever he is, is pretty good. Not good news for Bek.

Pokemon%20Diamond_325.png

At least Bek knows the right question to ask here.

Pokemon%20Diamond_326.png

The jump is for the fact this guy realises Bek has allowed himself to again be the hero of the day. What luck for him! You'd think Bek would have figured this out by now.

Pokemon%20Diamond_327.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_328.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_329.png

...so I guess that door has the tree behind it. But how do we unlock it? =/ Remember Bek, we don't have a key for it and it was certainly locked.

Pokemon%20Diamond_330.png

*facepalm*

Pokemon%20Diamond_331.png

No, that's being lazy of you and also avoiding the issue. The 'usual way' is locked and you clearly don't have the key or you would have given it to us. Besides, this is a piece of cake!

whitecake1.JPG

Piece of cake

Pokemon%20Diamond_333.png

That showed him what a piece of cake was. Now tell us already what to do if you're too lazy to do it yourself already, without lying.

Pokemon%20Diamond_334.png

Oh, NOW he says it's difficult! How about that.

Pokemon%20Diamond_335.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_336.png

Wait cave I though we were talking about saving a tree?

Pokemon%20Diamond_337.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_338.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_339.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_340.png

...Okay...

Pokemon%20Diamond_341.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_342.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_343.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_344.png

Interesting choice of password if I do say so myself.

Pokemon%20Diamond_346.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_347.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_348.png

Everyone depends on Bek - he is the world's buttmonkey!

Well I guess we should check out that house that needed a password then! To get to a cave...for some reason. This game sure likes to skip over the details.

Pokemon%20Diamond_349.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_350.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_351.png

Blah blah password let us in already.

Pokemon%20Diamond_354.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_355.png

Translation - press A for no reason before walking in!

Pokemon%20Diamond_358.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_360.png

But I was just in the sea!

Pokemon%20Diamond_361.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_362.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_363.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_364.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_365.png

Floating island...? Wait, I though you'd just take me to the place-

Teleportation

teleport-1.gif

And then Bek seriously trips out, as the onslaught of engrish finally takes its toll on him.




THE SEA is continued in the next update! Did that make much sense to anyone when the wound heal? You say it again! Remember it!
 
Part Eleven: Enter BOUNDARY
Or that guy with a really good theme tune who hates trees.

Teleportation

teleport-1.gif

Last we were teleporting away...somehow. Wherever shall we end up?

teleport2-1.gif

Oh, this place. I guess we can go into the cave there now!

Pokemon%20Diamond_382.png

A strange pot/button...thing is inside, next to a coffin? Huh. Jump on the button, Bek, maybe we can make a thing happen.

Pokemon%20Diamond_384.png

Hurrah?

Suddenly music! I'm not sure why it plays here and hardly anywhere else (if ever!) but...well, there it is.

Pokemon%20Diamond_385.png

I don't know how standing on a button makes the gate an ocean away open, but let's not question it! Let's go back outside then - standing on the coffin probably won't help us. (But who's telling us the gate is open...?)

Pokemon%20Diamond_388.png

Hell to you too, Sungki? You seem unsure of your name?

Pokemon%20Diamond_390.png

No.

Pokemon%20Diamond_391.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_392.png

...And that's all Sungki wanted to say, and Bek doesn't even answer before the call ends. Abuh. I wanted to see Sungki's reaction to wikipedia saying Mildew is a type of fungus. =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_393.png

LOOK SPARKLES

Pokemon%20Diamond_395.png

Standing on the magical sparkly island simply makes the teleportation sequence happen again and takes us to the beach.

Pokemon%20Diamond_408.png

See? Not very exciting. Nor is the trip back to the antenna tree gate - I trust you remember what happened in the sea.

remembering-1.gif


Pokemon%20Diamond_409.png

Anyways, we get there and...the music cuts out. Huh. And then a phone call!

Pokemon%20Diamond_410.png

"Sorry about hanging up before, I dropped the phone in a toilet."

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

Oh boy... Mr Bek, I like starting every sentence with your name. I'm also wondering why Sungki is using the plural there (you'll see why that's odd in a sec...) and how he knows this anyway! And "let's hide?" He's far away!

Pokemon%20Diamond_415.png

Wait what?

whoosh-1.gif

SUDDENLY A SWOOSH SOUND

Pokemon%20Diamond_422.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_424.png

And then this guy jumps off and lands.

Rival Theme!

Meet the rival!...Okay, well, "rival". He has one of the best music themes in the game though!

Pokemon%20Diamond_425.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_427.png

Well, hi there! I see your name is also partial to CAPITALISATION. (Why is Bek and Sungki immune to this?)

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

...wait, what? Okay I guess this is the guy who wants to chop down trees.

Pokemon%20Diamond_433.png

Bek dislikes this!

Pokemon%20Diamond_434.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_435.png

'What is it'? What is what, Bek?

Pokemon%20Diamond_436.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_438.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_439.png

In other words - 'we don't need these magical living portals to other parts of the world!' Or, well, we don't need thing like that anyway.

Pokemon%20Diamond_441.png

An alternate translation of Bek's jump.

killing_trees-2.png


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

I guess so!

Pokemon%20Diamond_450.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_451.png

A real you!!

landing-1.gif

Then his e-monster lands. Not-Sandslash, why can't you fly?

Pokemon%20Diamond_466.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_467.png

Woah suddenly perspective of the rival in an overly-epic fashion!

...Man, no offence, BOUNDARY, but... you ugly. =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_470.png

Also it does not match his sprite that vest-or-whatever was white and black. =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_471.png

This actually looks kinda cool though!

Pokemon%20Diamond_472.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_473.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_474.png

He's Knd Sky. y!

...Oh bugger that means he's strong against Not-Sandslash. He's also stronger than any of our monsters in level.

Pokemon%20Diamond_475.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_477.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_478.png

Time to point out a flaw in Telefang - despite having evolved pinky's name remains the same as his first stage's name...rather than this:

Pokemon%20Diamond_294.png

Anyways!

Boss Battle!

The other two monsters arrive straightaway, and hence you might, with it being a 3-on-1 battle in our favour, think this will be an easy battle.

Pokemon%20Diamond_480.png

Hahahaha....nope.

Pokemon%20Diamond_482.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_484.png

And despite having a type disadvantage, Not-Sandslash is the hardest-hitting out of the e-monsters on our side. Well bugger.

Pokemon%20Diamond_486.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_488.png

And there goes him, because ANJIOSI is faster than everything else and thus can move twice before them at times!

Pokemon%20Diamond_489.png

Luckily this guy is on our side - time to exploit the broken status system!

Pokemon%20Diamond_490.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_492.png

I can't say I blame him there for being afraid.

Pokemon%20Diamond_493.png

Although he usually recovers the turn after, it takes the full turn...

Pokemon%20Diamond_495.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_496.png

Allowing BANLES - whatever it is - to attack...

shouting-1.gif

While we show that the best way to win a fight is to have a pink elephant-with-tentacle creature shout very loudly at the opponent!

Pokemon%20Diamond_511.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_512.png

Almost there!

Pokemon%20Diamond_513.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_515.png

Luckily pinky here is also surprisingly bulky.

Pokemon%20Diamond_516.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_517.png

Unfortunately, he manages to miss. With the attack 'hit'.

A few more misses and hits endured though, and:

Pokemon%20Diamond_531.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_532.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_533.png

\o/ I will say that I was kinda lucky that SHOUT worked as much as it had in the battle though - usually this is quite a tough battle (unless you specifically train some e-monsters which would have had a type advantage).

Pokemon%20Diamond_536.png

And then our opponent disappears, but not BOUNDARY.

Pokemon%20Diamond_538.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_539.png

Where's the full stop or exclamation mark? =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_540.png

Bek agrees.

Pokemon%20Diamond_541.png

"Just over-sized strange looking creatures with phones!"

Pokemon%20Diamond_542.png

This says something about Bek's other friends...

Pokemon%20Diamond_544.png

BOUNDARY seems slow to catch on.

Pokemon%20Diamond_545.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_547.png

...Yes, you lose today.

Pokemon%20Diamond_548.png

Then he uses the tree to leave. I guess if he can't chop it down, he might as well use it? Anyways we now will not see Boundary for half a game. No, really. Great rival, huh?

Pokemon%20Diamond_551.png

Bek realises BOUNDARY stole his wallet.

Pokemon%20Diamond_552.png

This is basically becoming a catch-phrase, isn't it.

Pokemon%20Diamond_553.png

...But...okay, first he tells us that this guy was coming somehow and now goes back to 'durr hurr what's going on over there'.

Pokemon%20Diamond_555.png

Bek has many more jumps to make in the future of this game. Many, many more.

Pokemon%20Diamond_556.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_558.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_559.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_561.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_562.png

I wonder if Boundary had brought an [AXE]?

Pokemon%20Diamond_563.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_564.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_565.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_566.png

Gotta love Sungki - 'that sucks but hey you should go visit this city!!!' And...what guards?

Pokemon%20Diamond_568.png

And then he hangs up.

Pokemon%20Diamond_569.png

Well it's not like we have anything better to do! Check out that name of the city btw... yeesh.


So concludes this part! The next contains a lot of shops and a competition! Excitement!


(The YOU'RE KILLING THE TREES image is from hiimdaisy comics, yo).
 
Part Twelve: The City of Shops
Or...well, a lot of shopping and acquiring the killer pony.

Pokemon%20Diamond_569.png

Let's check out this place...

Pokemon%20Diamond_572.png

You can tell when towns look the same to each other. Same sort of grass, path, etc so far for each one! It's also got the same overworld theme... although that's not necessarily bad because it's a catchy theme. And oh look, it's one of those politician people. =|

Pokemon%20Diamond_575.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_576.png

No Bek, don't talk to him it's a trap!

Pokemon%20Diamond_578.png

>_<

Pokemon%20Diamond_579.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_580.png

Doesn't look like they gathered here.

Pokemon%20Diamond_581.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_582.png

Bek sure is excited about the fungi gathering! Notice how Not-Sandslash is keeping his distance from the two.

Pokemon%20Diamond_583.png

(What's the rule then?). Anyways, I don't think it's that funny. =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_586.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_587.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_588.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_589.png

Screw the forest, we can have our large battles between creatures wherever we please! Although I am sceptical about having a telephone battle there. =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_590.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_592.png

...Come out?

Pokemon%20Diamond_593.png

Maybe it just means 'jump'.

Pokemon%20Diamond_594.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_595.png

Well done for having that name? "Congratulations, you sure earned it."

Pokemon%20Diamond_597.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_599.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_600.png

This just comes off as weird personally, the way Bek is declaring his happiness. I bet it's this politician's fault. =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_601.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_602.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_603.png

I like how he ignored the question.

Pokemon%20Diamond_604.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_605.png

Hmm, just maybe, Bek, just maybe...

However Bek stops dwelling on this and instead GOES SHOPPING. Because to be honest there's not that much of interest here and the competition serves very little - well, nothing - to the confusing plot here.

Shop Theme!
Pokemon%20Diamond_606.png

A technology-themed store! Other gadgets include Video, Computer and Mouse. Not very interesting and one wonders why you can buy them when you cannot use them yourself.

Pokemon%20Diamond_610.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_611.png

As a minor note, a red-hat guy now appears in the green-hat pollie's place! Abuh. But a phone call...?

Pokemon%20Diamond_612.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_613.png

...No, not really?

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

They must be too busy telling Bek to get more friends or chasing political careers.

Pokemon%20Diamond_617.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_618.png

...STORM wants a computer. Right.

But how about that - look at a computer in a shop, and they call you about it just like with the bomb. This never happened when I played the game before, I'm pretty sure. =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_619.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_620.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_622.png

Maybe Bek is not the only one who is SO HAPPY about a phone competition.

Pokemon%20Diamond_623.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_625.png

More engrish, please.

Pokemon%20Diamond_626.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_627.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_629.png

Great competition. But he doesn't quite tell the truth - everyone else in the competition just stands still and waits for you to battle. =/

Let's look at that other shop!

Pokemon%20Diamond_632.png

Ma-gun? Machine gun.

Pokemon%20Diamond_636.png

This sure is a strange shop. Machine guns, Sabres...

Pokemon%20Diamond_634.png

...Why is this in the shop.

Pokemon%20Diamond_633.png

MUSA probably already has one himself.

Pokemon%20Diamond_635.png

Yeah, I'll just buy these, thanks.

Pokemon%20Diamond_637.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_639.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_640.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_641.png

Easy in what way? Did he give you the winnings?

Pokemon%20Diamond_643.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_644.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_645.png

Rare things!? Like what, the Guide to Speaking English Gooder? Clearly this guy already has that because his sentence is all right, but the previous person...he needs it in this way.

Pokemon%20Diamond_646.png

Yay pointless houses.

Pokemon%20Diamond_647.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_648.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_650.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_651.png

The Politicians! But... [Clean vote]?

Pokemon%20Diamond_652.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_653.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_654.png

How specific.

Pokemon%20Diamond_655.png

"With this, even you can be a ninja!"

Pokemon%20Diamond_656.png

Battery...for what?

Pokemon%20Diamond_658.png

More of thes P-cards. They're actually good for grinding for exp later on in the game but not so much now.

Pokemon%20Diamond_657.png

I guess it's better than a shop selling machine guns to kids...

Pokemon%20Diamond_659.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_660.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_661.png

The owl's name shows up again!

Pokemon%20Diamond_667.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_668.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_669.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_670.png

Ah, the usual NPC-blocks-the-next-route ploy. With extra engrish. I guess we will over the competition before go ahead from here by pass through then.

Pokemon%20Diamond_672.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_673.png

And this guy confirms that that way being blocked is what we will go by after the competition. It takes us to Palan.

Pokemon%20Diamond_677.png

Thanks, random e-monster!

Pokemon%20Diamond_678.png

Boy I sure am excited by these phone calls.

Pokemon%20Diamond_679.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_680.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_681.png

I bet he's a advertiser. Not a very convincing feature for a new phone though - that's it?

As for the fourth shop:
Pokemon%20Diamond_685.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_686.png

I hope it's just a toy crane. You know, instead of a real one... Actually a real one would be kinda cool to have. Unfortunately the tire is as big as the crane. At least these are named normally, but...

Pokemon%20Diamond_687.png

What the frell is a Tsita.

Pokemon%20Diamond_688.png

So much for moon rock or stone or whatnot - no, the translation is Luna.

One would be forgiven for forgetting this is a game about making monsters fight for you by getting their phone number.

Nobody else says anything of interest here and so we go into the forest!

Pokemon%20Diamond_694.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_695.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_696.png

So much for taking a shortcut. At least the Engrish here is consistent...?

Now, you can encounter wild e-monsters here before taking on the competitors which helps because they can come to the battle straightaway instead of 2-3 turns or more to just arrive. Grinding is a good idea though because of one specific wild e-monster who will mess you up badly without some grinding but is the best friend to have.

To demonstrate!

Pokemon%20Diamond_697.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_699.png

They're of the land type and have no mercy.

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

So you start the battle with having to wait for your other two e-monsters.

Pokemon%20Diamond_703.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_704.png

It's faster than you.

pain.gif

Its attack animation is always fun to watch. (It looks far better than this gif).

Pokemon%20Diamond_705.png

Bam, half your health.

So how much damage can you do to it?


pain.gif

Pokemon%20Diamond_712.png

Even if its defences aren't that great it doesn't matter.

It also has access to a move called GRIND which is basically the same as SHOUT. If ever you don't feel like just winning straightaway it can just status you instead.

So yeah, grinding is needed! (You have little access to type advantages over it too. Of course one could just use a really fast one to be able to run away from it in battles, but that's no fun).

Pokemon%20Diamond_713.png

Stop interrupting my grinding.

Pokemon%20Diamond_714.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_715.png

Ah, it's 'inane questions time'! Let's say yes.

Pokemon%20Diamond_716.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_717.png
S
ee, that statement makes no sense! Neither do the options! AAAAA

Pokemon%20Diamond_719.png

Thanks... I guess? Selecting the first option to both apparently was the right thing to do!

Pokemon%20Diamond_730.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_731.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_732.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_733.png

I like how he's telling me about an item that won't do anything.

Pokemon%20Diamond_734.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_735.png

Well, who wouldn't want a ray gun?

Pokemon%20Diamond_736.png

"Why do you keep calling me?" and "Now I want a ray gun."

During said grinding I had a few more encounters, one which involved me getting it down to 1 HP from a critical hit only for it to run away. But then:

Pokemon%20Diamond_743.png

And so:

Pokemon%20Diamond_720.png

And with some luck:

Pokemon%20Diamond_745.png

Yay! And if you think MLP is awesome:

Pokemon%20Diamond_747.png

Whelp time to win a competition.

Pokemon%20Diamond_764.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_765.png

Not shown - a walking-around-the-clearing sequence. And why is it 'call me' when you're standing a metre apart from each other. Kids these days...

Pokemon%20Diamond_766.png

This battle stars tree trunks and some water.

Pokemon%20Diamond_767.png

The only place where we get lots of unique trainer sprites! As a note - they get weirder.

Regular Battle Theme!

(The game doesn't consider the competition battles to be that important apparently).

Pokemon%20Diamond_769.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_770.png

Normally the type-disadvantage would be a worry.

Pokemon%20Diamond_772.png

And so ends the battle.

Pokemon%20Diamond_775.png

This guy wishes he had an awesome horse.

Pokemon%20Diamond_776.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_778.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_779.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_781.png

One down.

There's other wild e-monsters of note - maybe not power-wise, but say:

Pokemon%20Diamond_782.png

WHAT IS IT

Pokemon%20Diamond_783.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_786.png

Whatever he is, he's pretty smart!

Pokemon%20Diamond_788.png

For those who do not know: "The oxter is the part of the human body right under the joint where the arm joins the shoulder." Pity wikipedia had to mention 'human body' because this surely isn't human. =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_791.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_792.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_793.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_794.png

Ah, but do you have an overpowered horse?

Pokemon%20Diamond_795.png

No, you just look weird.

Pokemon%20Diamond_796.png

Ah, the owl as mentioned!

Pokemon%20Diamond_797.png

That was fun.

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

Not-Sandslash sure is enjoying this.

Pokemon%20Diamond_801.png

And now he's about to become more useful!

evolving-2.gif
Pokemon%20Diamond_811.png

I like how the only changes are a few more spikes, some shield-things to his arms, a bit more weight and the B changed to a P. At least BigMon is accurate! Dos this make Not-Sandslash Slightly-More-Not-Sandslash?

Pokemon%20Diamond_813.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_814.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_815.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_816.png

They seem oddly happy about losing.

I'll just end it here then - the rest of the competition shall be covered in the next update!
 
Part Thirteen: The Continued Competition
Or seeing how weird some trainer sprites get.


Pokemon%20Diamond_816.png

Last off we beat the 2nd person and Not-Sandslash evolved and got a bit of weight and a P to his name. Onwards to more victory!

Pokemon%20Diamond_821.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_822.png

Do you?

Pokemon%20Diamond_823.png

Is that a yes?

Regular Battle Theme!

Pokemon%20Diamond_824.png

Try looking at that expression closely there. She seems very...surprised or something.

Pokemon%20Diamond_826.png

Go, Dodo's cousin!

Pokemon%20Diamond_827.png

This'll be easy.

Pokemon%20Diamond_830.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_833.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_834.png

Surprisingly it is a water type and so ends the quickest third round ever.

Pokemon%20Diamond_835.png

I suppose we know how the Dodo went extinct!

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

Damn straight!

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

I don't know why they keep telling me to 'keep moving' to get to the next round... Maybe they think that I'd just stand there?

Pokemon%20Diamond_849.png

Hey let's continue standing here and-wait-

Pokemon%20Diamond_850.png
.................
The owl happen again, of ALL PLACES!

Pokemon%20Diamond_851.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_852.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_853.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_854.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_856.png

So he wants to be more machine-like?

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

Okay, thanks for telling me - I'll be sure not to give him that.

Pokemon%20Diamond_862.png

Aww, no short cuts allowed here either in this way. =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_868.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_870.png

...Sorry that you're sick? Just don't sneeze on me.

Pokemon%20Diamond_872.png

And this part of the comp is where the trainer sprites get especially weird. I mean, look at him. And he's called NOISY as well...

What him riding a tiny car has to do with him having 'got a cold' though is beyond me.

Pokemon%20Diamond_875.png

Naturally his first e-monster is the one that looks like a beheaded monkey. =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_876.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_877.png

Thanks for the hint!

Pokemon%20Diamond_878.png

The battle wasn't very exciting with Not-Sandslash and Killer Pony.

Pokemon%20Diamond_879.png

Jumpity jump-jump.

Pokemon%20Diamond_880.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_881.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_882.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_883.png

Gee, it's not my fault you have a bad cold - stop trying to make me feel sorry. =(

He also walks away unlike his sprite suggesting he has a car I don't even. =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_884.png

Encountered this guy in the wild but I did not get his number. I kinda like his look though.

Pokemon%20Diamond_886.png

Wait, why are there two people here?

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

So... the T fungi gentlemen the top alternates...to what?

Pokemon%20Diamond_890.png

Fine I'll let you finish.

Pokemon%20Diamond_891.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_892.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_893.png

What, that's it? Okay, can do!

Pokemon%20Diamond_894.png

Why are you still jumping.

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

Uh...who are you talking to?

Pokemon%20Diamond_897.png

WHY DO YOU KEEP JUMPING

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

So are we to fight...?

Pokemon%20Diamond_901.png

aaaaaaaaaaaaa

Pokemon%20Diamond_902.png

...So you're reporters? Reporters in uncomfortable poses?

I...I don't understand.

Pokemon%20Diamond_904.png

Why does this bird's leg not actually attached to the body correctly what.

Now, this battle actually is harder because they have more than one e-monster at the start! =o

Pokemon%20Diamond_906.png

I kinda feel sorry for the poor thing.

PETALS.gif

And then it fires petals or...something at me. =/ It's very fast but that's basically it, besides the type advantage thing.

Pokemon%20Diamond_907.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_908.png

Strangest looking 'mouth' attack there...it also should have attacked Not-Sandslash but I'm not complaining about bad AI!

Pokemon%20Diamond_921.png

Now, this is a neat move here. It doesn't do that much damage, but it has a decent chance of this:

Pokemon%20Diamond_923.png

And it can't do anything until it heals itself - like being scared from Shout. And that takes up an entire turn in itself!

Pokemon%20Diamond_926.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_927.png

See?

Pokemon%20Diamond_928.png

Yeah, while you're there...

Pokemon%20Diamond_929.png

Somehow it survives!

Pokemon%20Diamond_930.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_931.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_932.png

Not for long though.

Pokemon%20Diamond_933.png

Go!, says the OSIE, as it raises its defence. =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_938.png

Oh no it's doing something!

Pokemon%20Diamond_939.png

It looks like it could be-

Pokemon%20Diamond_941.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_942.png

...Oh. Like anything in this game needs more of that.

Pokemon%20Diamond_946.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_947.png

Bye.

Pokemon%20Diamond_948.png

Okay.

Pokemon%20Diamond_950.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_951.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_952.png

There's nothing quite as satisfying as winning by using Hoof, seriously.

Pokemon%20Diamond_958.png

\O/

Pokemon%20Diamond_953.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_954.png

Sore losers.

Pokemon%20Diamond_956.png

I guess they came from the ocean...? Anyways they disappear and we continue onward!

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

Two questions with the same answer:

WINNING.

Pokemon%20Diamond_961.png

Or jumping if you're Bek, I guess.

Pokemon%20Diamond_962.png

So winning.

Pokemon%20Diamond_963.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_964.png

Bek... at this stage everyone here is being called T Mildew. =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_965.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_966.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_967.png

I wonder why this guy stayed here. I mean, if he walks in, he would win!

Pokemon%20Diamond_968.png

Instead he prefers jumping at Bek.

Pokemon%20Diamond_971.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_972.png

What a...strange looking guy.

Pokemon%20Diamond_973.png

This guy is an evolution of OSIE.

No, really.

Pokemon%20Diamond_974.png

3-on-2 battle initially so it's kinda in our favour, although you'd think with this being the final battle it may be harder than the previous.

Pokemon%20Diamond_976.png

Oh wait.

Pokemon%20Diamond_977.png

How about...

Pokemon%20Diamond_979.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_981.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_982.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_983.png

Winning.

Pokemon%20Diamond_986.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_988.png

No, buy your own alcohol to drown your own sorrows away! I'm too busy winning.

Pokemon%20Diamond_990.png

Why are you here.

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

No seriously why are you here.

Pokemon%20Diamond_994.png

Damn straight, Bek.

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

...Yes, we've already realised.

Pokemon%20Diamond_997.png

THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW!

Pokemon%20Diamond_999.png

I like how it became a [term!].

Pokemon%20Diamond_1000.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1001.png

"I'm just a hard working honest man! I have five kids!"

Pokemon%20Diamond_1003.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1004.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1005.png

Bek being smart?

Pokemon%20Diamond_1006.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1007.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1008.png

...Change Jimmy?

Pokemon%20Diamond_1009.png

And he makes a run for it. Should we go stop him, Bek?

Pokemon%20Diamond_1010.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1011.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1012.png

Clearly he has more important things on his mind.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1014.png

WHAT COULD IT BE

Pokemon%20Diamond_1015.png

...

Pokemon%20Diamond_1015.png

That's it?

Pokemon%20Diamond_1016.png

OUR PHONE NOW HAS A PURPLE/PINK TINGE TO IT

AMAZEMENT

Worst competition ever.

Pokemon%20Diamond_1018.png

And it doesn't stop these spam calls either!

Pokemon%20Diamond_1019.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1020.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1021.png

Well naturally if you have a Ray gun you're able to kill stuff quicker!

Pokemon%20Diamond_1026.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1027.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_1028.png

Strange place for an autograph, but okay!

Let's start heading to the next place then, I guess!

Pokemon%20Diamond_1032.png

God darn it. If anything this new phone is worse!

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

WHY ARE YOU ALL TELLING ME TO GIVE YOU GUNS SERIOUSLY

Pokemon%20Diamond_1037.png

I guess that'll be in the next update thanks to Netaro here. (Hey, isn't he supposed to be delivering water anyway...?)
 
Part Fourteen: Entering The Desert!
Or discovering that birds and snakes don't like each other.

Pokemon%20Diamond_01.png

So last time we won the competition and Netaro finally stopped talking to us. Let's get out of this unfortunately-named 'city'. Or M-City.

Pokemon%20Diamond_03.png

...And we begin with someone (maybe Bek?) shouting about what. Damn it! I hate whats. >:[

Pokemon%20Diamond_04.png

Maybe it was this bird though.

Pokemon%20Diamond_05.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_11.png

No Bek you said What. =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_12.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_13.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_14.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_15.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_16.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_17.png

Well... given snakes are known to eat birds (and vice versa in cases) is this surprising?

Pokemon%20Diamond_18.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_19.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_20.png

Bek derps a herp.

Pokemon%20Diamond_21.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_22.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_23.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_25.png

One - I like how he ignores the question.
Two - oh god. 'start a new life in Virgina'.

Engrish, how you amaze me.

Pokemon%20Diamond_26.png

Uh, bye then? I guess he can't wait.

Pokemon%20Diamond_29.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_30.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_31.png

[Is it?]

Pokemon%20Diamond_32.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_33.png

And then he leaves after the Farewell Jump.

Pokemon%20Diamond_34.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_35.png

At least it's clear what you should do here, but first we'll explore this little stretch.
Head into the ocean for instance, and...

Pokemon%20Diamond_36.png

...We find ourselves by Bamu sea! Or well, outside its barriers. Let's check that map now that we have filled it in a bit...

Pokemon%20Diamond_44.png

So M-city is to the west of the sea and Alice, while Tulunk and Kelina is on the left side of the map. Teleporting trees, how do they work.

Pokemon%20Diamond_42.png

...How exciting? =/ There's nothing in the water at any rate.

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

Yay, Palan is near already.

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

Okay...? Maybe that's why this guy is standing outside of it then.

Pokemon%20Diamond_52.png

But first a slight detour to a house I recall.

Pokemon%20Diamond_53.png

Or well, cave-house. At any rate idk why it's here but I suppose it is worth showing.

Pokemon%20Diamond_54.png

Why is that, random NPC?

Pokemon%20Diamond_55.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_56.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_57.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_58.png

Too much...? And because of that he put [something] here. Uh, okay.

Pokemon%20Diamond_59.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_60.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_61.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_62.png

Why is this important.

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

And that's all you find out from here. This always confused me.

Pokemon%20Diamond_65.png

Oh not you.

Pokemon%20Diamond_66.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_67.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_68.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_69.png

I never said that. =/

Anyways I also discovered some different e-monsters in this area I didn't know were here before.

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

Like this guy! If you want awkward designs, look no further than HERIOPS. Unfortunately i didn't get his number in that instance.

Pokemon%20Diamond_72.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_73.png

I got bird-head's number though!

Pokemon%20Diamond_76.png

So in other words it pecks stuff.

Other creatures included some ones we have also seen before:

Pokemon%20Diamond_77.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_78.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_79.png


And with BAIBU:
Pokemon%20Diamond_81.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_82.png


And after a while:
Pokemon%20Diamond_83.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_85.png

...A bottle in its shoulder? Uh.

And during that all:
Pokemon%20Diamond_43.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_80.png
\o/

I could switch to BAZERI and make the game very easy (except in sections with necessary grinding) but I'll be sticking with Not-Sandslash.

Pokemon%20Diamond_86.png

Oh look, a welcoming committee!

Pokemon%20Diamond_87.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_88.png

Are you blind? =|

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

Bird, there's a snake right next to you, you know. =/

(The bird family)
Pokemon%20Diamond_93.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_94.png

...They really don't like each other. =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_95.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_96.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_97.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_98.png

At least this fellow has an okay grasp of English, isn't rude or blind.

Palan!

Different town music! It's alright I suppose.

pokemondiamond99.png

However this seems to be the bird's side of town. It also has a shop!

Pokemon%20Diamond_100.png

You never know when you need to clean up that sand in the desert.

Pokemon%20Diamond_101.png

It's a desert - what are you going to chop down, cacti? =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_102.png

Blah blah generic card item in most stores.

Pokemon%20Diamond_103.png

You know, for a world reliant on phones it's a bit odd this is the first time we've seen one being sold...

Pokemon%20Diamond_104.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_105.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_106.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_107.png

Look at that, and then realise he's saying the leader of the birds lives north of here. =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_108.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_110.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_111.png

I hope he knows better English than you.

Pokemon%20Diamond_120.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_121.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_122.png

I'm somewhat sceptical of that.

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

Just their fangs, right? -_-

Pokemon%20Diamond_125.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_126.png

WOW! REALLY?

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

I would have never guessed!

Pokemon%20Diamond_129.png

Bah.

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

Snakes are beautiful to you? Also, Bird Snake?

Slitherhen_Battle.PNG



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

I suppose he meant 'lived'.

Pokemon%20Diamond_136.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_137.png

Or maybe not? Idk but I guess he was the one who 'said' it. =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_138.png

Hello to you too. Why do birds also need to jump?

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

Yes, you sure are a bird brain. :V

Pokemon%20Diamond_141.png

Bek doesn't like my jokes. =(

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

Blah Blah Bek then proceeds to repeat what Gangbanao said.

Pokemon%20Diamond_149.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_150.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_151.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_152.png

Yeah, we kinda figured that out for ourselves...

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

...That's a good question!

...

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

So basically they're having a big war and nobody remembers why.

What.

Pokemon%20Diamond_159.png

Bek also thinks this is stupid.

Pokemon%20Diamond_161.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_162.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_163.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_164.png

FRIENDSHIP SOLVES EVERYTHING

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

???

Pokemon%20Diamond_169.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_170.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_172.png

Everyone loves making Bek do stuff for them.

Pokemon%20Diamond_173.png

Silly Bek.

Pokemon%20Diamond_175.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_176.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_177.png

But at least we get something from it? I hope it's better than the last prize. =/

Let's see what everyone else thinks of our plans.

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

I consider you as [The speaker of engrish].

Pokemon%20Diamond_183.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_184.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_185.png

Then you can sit in a tree and the snakes could drink all the water! =D

Pokemon%20Diamond_186.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_187.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_188.png

Croaked?

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

Well you're a stick in the mud. =(

Nobody else in this town is on any interest either.

Pokemon%20Diamond_192.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_193.png

Uh... screw you.

Pokemon%20Diamond_196.png

Oh look, snakes! Time to begin Operation FRIENDSHIP!

...In the next update!
 
So are you an enemy of birds? Huh!?

Part Fifteen: Bearer of Peace!
Or fighting people to convince them to stop fighting. Go figure!


Pokemon%20Diamond_196.png

Let's talk to the snakes, I suppose.

Desert!

Pokemon%20Diamond_01.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_03.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_04.png

What are you trying to say? Come on, try and put some effort into your words!

Pokemon%20Diamond_05.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_06.png

See, that's better.

Pokemon%20Diamond_07.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_08.png

Well, birds DO live in trees normally...

Pokemon%20Diamond_09.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_10.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_11.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_12.png

I'm not a bird. Or guies. =( Yay for trying to be grammatical correct with the plural of guy and failing!

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

So why are you fighting then? Do you know?

Pokemon%20Diamond_16.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_17.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_18.png

You're not helpful at all. =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_19.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_20.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_21.png

At least you can say habitat properly, I guess...

Pokemon%20Diamond_22.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_23.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_24.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_25.png

...machines? What sort of machines? =/

Oh look a battle!

Pokemon%20Diamond_29.png

Wait... you're not a bird or a snake.

Pokemon%20Diamond_30.png

TAMPAL is confused by the lack of snake.

Pokemon%20Diamond_31.png
scratch.gif

Silly TAMPAL.

Pokemon%20Diamond_26.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_27.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_28.png

And yet you don't have any water apparently.

Pokemon%20Diamond_48.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_49.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_50.png

What is this 'machine monster'!? Is it stuff from their shop? Or maybe if it is considered a pal of theirs...

l_mini_drinkingbird1.jpg

The scary thing is this wouldn't look too out-of-place as a Telefang monster...

Pokemon%20Diamond_51.png

Or maybe the owl is the machine monster. =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_52.png

Far away from you.

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

Yes-

And then he hangs up. Strange call. =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_55.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_56.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_57.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_58.png

...what? Your...angel...?

Pokemon%20Diamond_60.png

Yeah you guys creep me out.

Pokemon%20Diamond_61.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_62.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_63.png

Ah, here engrish starts to take a turn for the worse in this part. Because if you look...

Pokemon%20Diamond_66.png

...you can't go to the left. The house is actually to the right. =| What do you have to say for yourself?

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

...

Pokemon%20Diamond_74.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_75.png

Greedy. =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_67.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_68.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_69.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_70.png

Damn straight it's here- wait, what do you mean? I'm bringing peace here!

Pokemon%20Diamond_72.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_73.png

No... 'I' may go there. You can just stay here, stupid snake. =(

House theme

Pokemon%20Diamond_76.png

I like how he has a bed.

Pokemon%20Diamond_77.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_79.png

'Things like mankind'? =/ Sure, Bek isn't good looking by far, but that's harsh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_80.png

Now you hurt his feelings.

Pokemon%20Diamond_81.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_82.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_83.png

Because war is stupid and all!

Pokemon%20Diamond_84.png

Uh-Oh"

And suddenly the music changes. =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_85.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_86.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_87.png

But I'm a friendly messenger! Didn't you hear what I said?

Pokemon%20Diamond_88.png
Obviously not. =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_89.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_92.png

Oversized snake, go! And yes - we really are having a battle because the snake fails at listening.

Pokemon%20Diamond_93.png

Despite a lack of proper grinding, three against one ain't so bad, even if pony of awesome has a type disadvantage.

Pokemon%20Diamond_94.png

Oh wait this is kinda awkward.

Pokemon%20Diamond_96.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_97.png

And so BOZUARU decides to aim his strongest attack at the bird. Only it takes several turns to charge, and it's not a good idea to use it when you're outnumbered. And so:

Pokemon%20Diamond_98.png
pokemondiamond99.png

Stab stab stab.

Pokemon%20Diamond_101.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_102.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_103.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_107.png

Delaying the supermegaawesomeattack is fun. =D

But you know what else is fun?

hoof.gif

This.

Pokemon%20Diamond_115.png
pokemondiamond99.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_117.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_118.png

Yay relatively easy boss (if you know what you're doing at any rate).

Pokemon%20Diamond_120.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_121.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_122.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_123.png

Either he's all 'why I no win' or 'why nobody else help me'. Note also that we called TAMPAL (you know, the bird) to come and help. He got past the guards and all with no problem. =|

Pokemon%20Diamond_124.png

Bek says SCREW THE RULES he has jumping.

Pokemon%20Diamond_127.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_128.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_129.png

FRIENDLY- oh wait how do you say friendly in engrish...

Pokemon%20Diamond_131.png

Jump.

Pokemon%20Diamond_132.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_133.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_134.png

Sure you did. -_-

Pokemon%20Diamond_136.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_137.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_138.png

Yay jumps of celebration time this sure was easy and quick.

Pokemon%20Diamond_139.png

Why are you jumping.

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

What? W...why not?

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

What.

Pokemon%20Diamond_145.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_147.png

What.

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

But...I mean- There's a war- a toy- oh I get it it's a joke. Right?

Pokemon%20Diamond_152.png

You're serious, aren't you.

Pokemon%20Diamond_152.png

Can we reconsider?

Pokemon%20Diamond_153.png

Ladies and Gentlemen; this is why this is a stupid part of the game. Well, particularly stupid.

(Wonder what [Toy] was in Japanese though?)

Pokemon%20Diamond_154.png

Well the snake leader is a prat.

And now for the game to get confusing!

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

This implies that the bird here has it and all, right?

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

...Well?

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

Suddenly he doesn't have it? =/

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

...Come again?

jumping.gif

HE TOOK IT OKAY JUST GO GET IT.

And if you talk to him again:
Pokemon%20Diamond_167.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_168.png

...yeah. =/ It's like it's both badly translated AND out of place or...something. =/

Anyways at least we know what we have to do. I guess.

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

How do you not know we just had a battle.

Pokemon%20Diamond_171.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_172.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_173.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_174.png

...Okay, I already did twice? =/

Anyways basically what you have to do is backtrack to the cave at the end of the phone competition. Fun!

ON THE WAY THERE

Pokemon%20Diamond_232.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_233.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_234.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_235.png

It's obnoxious question time!

Pokemon%20Diamond_236.png

Let's give obnoxious answers!

Pokemon%20Diamond_237.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_238.png

...

WHAT KIND OF OPTIONS ARE THOSE!?

Pokemon%20Diamond_240.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_241.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_242.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_243.png

APPARENTLY 'WELL' WAS THE WRONG ANSWER TOO WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT IT

Pokemon%20Diamond_175.png

AND oh look we found him that was easy.

Obtaining [Toy] in next part! Excite get!
 
I'd just like to say that even though it might seem like nobody is following this anymore since there aren't posts from people that aren't you, I am, and I find this fukken hilarious. Keep it up.
 
I'd just like to say that even though it might seem like nobody is following this anymore since there aren't posts from people that aren't you, I am, and I find this fukken hilarious. Keep it up.
Thanks! It's good to hear from someone here that this is being read (the views statistic only says so much =p).

And speaking of which here is the next part.

Part Sixteen: Get [Toy] From [Badly named city]!
Or a fight that shows I should do some grinding.


Pokemon%20Diamond_175.png

Let's get that [Toy] already.

Pokemon%20Diamond_177.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_178.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_501.png

No.

...Okay, yes, but not just to pass the time.

Pokemon%20Diamond_180.png

Yes, also to jump.

Pokemon%20Diamond_181.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_182.png

Good e-monsters best friends.

Pokemon%20Diamond_183.png

Truly a good reason to rejoice with a jump.

Pokemon%20Diamond_184.png

Punching the snake leader in the face seemed to work wonders!

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

Funny you should ask that! (Why is the question mark in the [tags?])

Pokemon%20Diamond_187.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_188.png

And why is toy capitalised?

Pokemon%20Diamond_190.png

So he has it! ...Maybe.

Pokemon%20Diamond_191.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_192.png

You mean there's more?

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

Well that was easy.

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

=|

Okay, let's think about this for a moment. All we need is a lousy toy to end a very long, and likely bloody, war. And this fellow doesn't want to give up his toy because he only has one.

No wonder you guys had the war in the first place!

Pokemon%20Diamond_200.png

What wait

Pokemon%20Diamond_202.png

*Sigh* Fine, let's get it over and done with.

Pokemon%20Diamond_245.png

Battle!

Unfortunately... there's three things to note about the flaming bird here.

One - his superior level.

Two - he's far faster than anyone on my team, and has a far better attack than his prevolution.

Three - Only a two-on-one battle here.

Pokemon%20Diamond_247.png

I do have a pony though so let's try beating him without any grinding beforehand whatsoever!

Pokemon%20Diamond_248.png

'Sup.

Pokemon%20Diamond_249.png
flying.gif

Not as cool a move as Fly in the Pokemon games... but it's far more annoying. Any moves directed at him won't hit while he is flying, and he can come down at any time and attack straightaway. It's more annoying in multi-monster battles though.

Pokemon%20Diamond_258.png

He sure is.

Pokemon%20Diamond_259.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_260.png

So I guess I can only go for the boost-attack-option then.

Pokemon%20Diamond_261.png

Wait what?

Basically, this means my stat-boosting move failed, and I assume it's because KAOTES managed to stop it.

But how is that possible with a stat-boosting move, and especially when the opponent is flying far away at the moment? =/ Then again it could be just poor engrish yet again.

Pokemon%20Diamond_262.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_263.png

Well uh... as grind will also fail and RESUME is the healing move (pointless as I've taken no damage yet), I'll just go for ultra-super-mega-awesome move that takes a while to charge up. Hopefully KAOTES isn't flying when that is ready!

Pokemon%20Diamond_264.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_265.png

'e-magic' sure sounds fishy. Anyways, when that DP meter is fully charged up, the attack will fire.

Pokemon%20Diamond_266.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_267.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_268.png

Kinda impressive that Not-Sandslash survived that hit actually given the level difference and the type disadvantage.

Pokemon%20Diamond_269.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_270.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_271.png

Yay for dumb AI!

Pokemon%20Diamond_272.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_273.png

Type difference sure has a significant impact here.

Pokemon%20Diamond_274.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_275.png

What a mean game. =( I finally land a hit on a monster that can make two moves for every one I make and it calls me foolish.

Pokemon%20Diamond_276.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_277.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_278.png

Dang.

Naturally Awesome Pony dislikes this and so fires a missile at the bird.

Pokemon%20Diamond_285.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_286.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_287.png

And this is why the pony is awesome. Nonetheless I really should grind some more.

Pokemon%20Diamond_289.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_290.png

Yay.

Pokemon%20Diamond_291.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_292.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_293.png

\o/ About time!

Pokemon%20Diamond_294.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_295.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_296.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_297.png

No excuse to leave...actually, nevermind.

Pokemon%20Diamond_298.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_299.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_300.png

Why are you speaking like that, Bek? =/ And he IS bad. He wouldn't give up a measly toy to end an entire war!

Pokemon%20Diamond_301.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_302.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_303.png

Okay...

Pokemon%20Diamond_307.png

Time to go ALL THE WAY BACK.

Pokemon%20Diamond_308.png

That was quick. And did you have to say it like that? =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_309.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_310.png

On the snake?

Pokemon%20Diamond_311.png

Bek jumps anyway!

Pokemon%20Diamond_312.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_313.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_314.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_315.png

Why can't you do it?

Pokemon%20Diamond_316.png

-_-

Pokemon%20Diamond_317.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_318.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_319.png

Damn straight, Bek!

Pokemon%20Diamond_320.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_321.png

...More evolution stuff?

Pokemon%20Diamond_322.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_323.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_324.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_325.png

Yay for mutating creatures with items!

Pokemon%20Diamond_326.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_327.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_328.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_329.png

But it's not going to be tough at all. =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_331.png

Or is this what the bird head meant.

Pokemon%20Diamond_332.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_333.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_334.png

Sure have! Mmm... something.

Pokemon%20Diamond_335.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_336.png

Uh...

Pokemon%20Diamond_337.png

Hey, it's a fair question.

Pokemon%20Diamond_338.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_339.png

Only it seems Bek answers anyway. Which now makes me wonder if Bek was responsible for any part of the previous inane phone calls. =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_340.png

Time to delivery that darn [Toy]!

Pokemon%20Diamond_341.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_342.png

...On second thoughts, this IS a pretty neat gizmo...

Pokemon%20Diamond_343.png

...Fine.

Pokemon%20Diamond_345.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_346.png

Good.

Pokemon%20Diamond_348.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_349.png

Why would I show it to them? I'll just go use it myself. >:]

Pokemon%20Diamond_350.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_351.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_352.png

Yay for being friends and jumping, as opposed to fighting over nothing!

Pokemon%20Diamond_353.png

...That was quick - they replaced one of the snake guards with a bird already!

Pokemon%20Diamond_360.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_361.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_362.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_363.png

Opinions sure change quickly.

Pokemon%20Diamond_364.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_365.png

...okay...

Pokemon%20Diamond_366.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_367.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_368.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_369.png

Wait, what? Uh...

I sure hope that's another Engrish/poor translation thing there...

Pokemon%20Diamond_370.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_371.png

But who are you guarding it from then...?

I also sure hope you didn't go and declare war on another species. =\

Pokemon%20Diamond_372.png



okay.

Pokemon%20Diamond_373.png

Yes, a keen observation! Water makes snake LIVE! Water can HELP E-MONSTER!

Pokemon%20Diamond_375.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_376.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_377.png

But you're birds and snakes. You don't have arms.

Pokemon%20Diamond_378.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_379.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_380.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_381.png

I hope you don't aim to go and steal that toy. =/ And so much for showing you that key - no acknowledgement of that whatsoever. =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_382.png

...Do what?

Pokemon%20Diamond_383.png

You're welcome...? I think peace lowered everyone's ability to speak. =(

Pokemon%20Diamond_384.png

Again!?

Pokemon%20Diamond_385.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_386.png

Why is one of the options in the question!? And why are you calling me again!? You make me SO ANGRY!

Pokemon%20Diamond_387.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_388.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_389.png

You are a bother with your weird
spacing and ques

Pokemon%20Diamond_390.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_391.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_392.png

...

Pokemon%20Diamond_393.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_394.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_395.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_396.png

Yes, they are quite marvelo. One pretends to have items that he doesn't have and the other fights you for saying hello!

Pokemon%20Diamond_398.png

...

Pokemon%20Diamond_399.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_400.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_401.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_402.png

'Lol, what war? We've always been friends!'

Pokemon%20Diamond_502.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_503.png

I guess that ties up that loose end...? =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_405.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_406.png

...they sure have some strange love for that tree. =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_407.png

Where will it take us next!?

Pokemon%20Diamond_408.png

Exciting! We'll check it out in the next update!
 
Part Seventeen: Attack of the Telemarketers!
Or more requests for help from lazy people.


Pokemon%20Diamond_408.png

Okay, let's see what's on fire here.

Liz Island Theme!

Also this is the music for this place. It is alright, I think.

Pokemon%20Diamond_02.png

Who said that? ._. And...no, it clearly isn't.

Pokemon%20Diamond_03.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_04.png

Oh, it's you. Give more warning before your phone calls.

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

Bek is ever informative.

Pokemon%20Diamond_10.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_11.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_12.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_13.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_14.png

How did Sungki guess the place correctly, and know what's apparently going on the island?

Pokemon%20Diamond_15.png

Seems pretty peaceful to me...

Pokemon%20Diamond_17.png

Oh look, a...sheep thing is in distress.

Pokemon%20Diamond_21.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_22.png

Bek sure is picking up on the local lingo quickly.

Pokemon%20Diamond_24.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_25.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_26.png

Wait, who are 'they' and what do you mean about the e-wave?

Pokemon%20Diamond_27.png

Yes, just go the way you came from, Bek. Quickly, before they ask you for help!

Pokemon%20Diamond_28.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_29.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_30.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_31.png

Or... we could do that ourselves!

Pokemon%20Diamond_33.png

Fine. -_-

Pokemon%20Diamond_35.png

Productive!

Luckily Sungki calls and ends this exciting and radical attempt of Bek's at thinking.

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

'Well... it's very green!'

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

Remember, Sungki just called. This question without any context must be darn confusing.

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

No.

Pokemon%20Diamond_45.png

'And how much does it cost?'

Pokemon%20Diamond_47.png

No, you don't. Thanks for nothing, Sungki.

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

'It surely must exist so...go find it!' Sigh.

Pokemon%20Diamond_54.png

Bah, I told you to leave before they asked for help, Bek!

Pokemon%20Diamond_55.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_56.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_57.png

How boring.

Pokemon%20Diamond_58.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_59.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_60.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_61.png

What dispute? I don't see any disputing. Come, Not-Sandslash, let's go look.

Pokemon%20Diamond_62.png

So much disputing I mean just look!

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

Do what? But okay, I won't.

Pokemon%20Diamond_65.png

'Don't make trouble', he says, as he challenges me to a battle.

Pokemon%20Diamond_67.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_69.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_70.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_74.png

Luckily lone level 19 opponents are now pretty easy for us.

Pokemon%20Diamond_75.png

Oh, we do...

remembering-1.gif

Anyways, you can beat up these rouge monsters all you want, but they just reappear when you come back so atm it's kinda pointless. =/

Instead, one should try the house!

Pokemon%20Diamond_77.png

Oh look, it's Miyor! The person Bek doesn't like much! I guess that's why he jumped straight away.

Miyor's Theme! (Again!)

Pokemon%20Diamond_78.png

'Yep, nice to see the girl who told me to get more friends! Well, now I have a... well, a pink phone?'

Pokemon%20Diamond_80.png

Spacing!Missing

Pokemon%20Diamond_83.png

That's a good question actually. Why does Miyor suddenly have a house?

Pokemon%20Diamond_86.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_88.png

Uh...

Pokemon%20Diamond_89.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_90.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_91.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_92.png

Bek wisely decides to back away slowly. Although it comes off as a bit odd to do in the middle of this conversation...

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

Worth a shot I guess. I mean, given that we suddenly need to find such a e-monster and then suddenly bump into an old character, they must know something useful!

Pokemon%20Diamond_97.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_98.png
scaled.php

See? But how do you say 'Xinxi'...?

Pokemon%20Diamond_101.png
Pokemon%20Diamond_102.png

Of course, it begs the question - why didn't Miyor call this fellow up to save the day already anyways? =/

Pokemon%20Diamond_103.png

~!*one boring phone call later...*!~

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

Either Miyor began speaking in the middle of this after Bek started, or she talked to herself at the start. =/

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

And as quickly as the logic at the start of this game, she leaves.


That concludes this uneventful update! Before backtracking to Alice though we'll explore some more of Liz Island next time.
