You shut up. This is a man's thread. And this certainly isn't a publicity bump either! You go to hell! You go to hell and YOU DIE.
Oh, and by the way, if any mod or admin happens to be reading this, this topic is in the wrong section. This isn't 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Gen., after all.
Part 135: But Not Before This Game Dies
Part 136: Next Comes What?
Part 137: Palkia > Dialga. Seriously.
Part 138: Is It That Time Again...? (No.)
What?
At least there's no Giratina mission. It wouldn't take this shit at all.
Palkia leaves into the weird hole, which vanishes.
Where could that be?
The screen goes back to Haruba Desert. By the way, we ran in from the right to get to Henry's house, implying the world is still messed up.
Was everything covered? I think so. Well, everything but underwater and the Oil Field Platform, I believe. And the school.
But there's no money in the game! Who pays you to do what you do?!
I've seen a lot of legendaries, as I've mentioned. No big deal.
Sven isn't as fun-loving as Wendy.
Two deadly sins in one mission?
And you didn't think to come see any of the other legendaries I encountered before?
I like these missions. No congratulatory message overload.
Still doesn't explain why we came in from the right. Or how everyone's going to get home. I had three beers in that refridgerator of mine! God only knows where it is now!
Mission accomplished.
Here it comes! Did he get the container to hold it in when we weren't looking?
At least it's not yellow, right? Then again, there are arguably worse liquids that happen to be white that might be mixed in there...
Henry says nothing to this. Speechless, much?
Amen!
And that's it for this mission! One more! Just need to wait for it to be released...

Part 135: But Not Before This Game Dies
I regain control again after the mission intro.
You're still trespassing on Ranger property, man.
Jeez, you're always in such a rush...wait, I almost forgot you are always in such a rush.
But you can make side, right?
Just as I go to leave...
Man, these Arabs are nothing like the ones in real life. At least they're nice to the Jews...wait, does the Pokemon world even have Jews?
Yes. Go back to sleep. Right here in the sand, don't you worry!
Hells yeah, let's explore!
No! Send me fucker! Unless it drops me off over lava! Then send him!
Damn it! Instead of just peeking in, he walks in like a crazy man. Even though he pauses as if he's going to just peek in.
That was...pointless.
Seems more like a prank to me. What kind of distortion is this elaborate?
Nothing...is impossible! It came to me in a dream. The doors don't move, the doors move the universe around them!
Do it!
Do it anyway! He's jumping for joy. A middle-aged Arab man. Jumping for joy.
That's how Sven likes his women, I reckon.
Damn it! Is it a Porygon?! Giving people seizures again I WILL HAVE YOUR CYBERNETIC HEAD YOU PILE OF CODE!
They never tell us.
Let's do this shit.
I regain control.
You can't.
Seriously, new moderators are only chosen a few times a year, and the minimum requirements for applying are very steep. Even so, hundreds apply, but only a few are selected. If you seriously want to be a moderator, you'll need to be an active, contributing user for well over a few months to even be considered. Pestering the current moderators or administrators to become a moderator essentially guarantees that you won't be selected.
By the way, it looks like the spring has dried up again.
Wait, I thought Murph was afraid to go outside. In fact, he didn't go outside at all during that scene. Did he know about this? Did that dick seriously know that space was messed up and not tell us?
Nothing interesting to be said here. Also, the Ranger Base nearby goes to the proper place.
What he didn't seem to pick up was his boat, because it's nowhere in sight.
Indeed, trying to leave from the north or east results in being dumped on the other end. Also, there is a huge amount of dirt inexplicably in the way of the northwest exit.
Wait, if only the Ranger Union is accessable from the village, then how did this little girl end up here?
Well, the Ranger Union and...Hippowdon Temple. That's where Henry ran.
Not really a place to be scared of if you're just walking in. But if you explore it - then god forbid! You're knee-deep in shit if you choose to do that.
So, if the only places "linked" with Haruba Village are itself, the Temple, and the Ranger Union, how DID that Little Girl get here? Where did she get here from?
Hey, if it removes the cannon room, I'm all for it!
A rat? They give the black plague, you know.
In an elaborate fashion.
Seems more like a prankster to me.
Sudden voicemail.
That's what you said about Darkrai! Or was it Regigigas? Whatever.
Pure. Fucking. Darkness. That's what I fought and won. Bring it on.
You think? The mission is only called "Palkia in Haruba Desert!?" you know.
But what's going to happen if the three of us unexpectedly walk into a bar?
Do it.
And going in, fixing the problem, and making him run with us through the cannon room is perfectly safe?
Great, and I just got done going through a game fast and furious. Well, more fast and furious than most people.
Control regained at last!
We didn't go very slow and steady when we rescued Isaac, nor when I helped furfag with his Riolu.
What indeed! We shall find out!
Henry:
Me and Sven, we went into my house in
Haruba Village, and then...?
I don't understand this at all!
You're still trespassing on Ranger property, man.
Prof. Hastings:
Go after Sven right away!
Jeez, you're always in such a rush...wait, I almost forgot you are always in such a rush.
Murph:
I can't make heads or tails of what's going
on.
But you can make side, right?
Just as I go to leave...
Henry:
Sven, wait for me!
Man, these Arabs are nothing like the ones in real life. At least they're nice to the Jews...wait, does the Pokemon world even have Jews?
Henry:
Was I just dreaming there now?
Yes. Go back to sleep. Right here in the sand, don't you worry!
Sven:
What about the other houses?
Hells yeah, let's explore!
Sven:
Henry, can I get you to visit the house
next door?
No! Send me fucker! Unless it drops me off over lava! Then send him!
Henry:
This has got me good and spooked, but...
I'll go.
Damn it! Instead of just peeking in, he walks in like a crazy man. Even though he pauses as if he's going to just peek in.
Henry:
Huh? This isn't a room?
Where am I?
Oh, it's just up from my place!
That was...pointless.
Sven:
There's a distortion in space, I reckon.
Seems more like a prank to me. What kind of distortion is this elaborate?
Sven:
It seems impossible, but...
Nothing...is impossible! It came to me in a dream. The doors don't move, the doors move the universe around them!
Henry:
Sven, you want me to try going into this
house, too?
Do it!
Henry:
This is kind of fun!
Do it anyway! He's jumping for joy. A middle-aged Arab man. Jumping for joy.
Sven:
Whoa, Henry.
Take it slow and easy.
That's how Sven likes his women, I reckon.
Henry:
Awawawawaah!
Sven! Help meeeeee!
Damn it! Is it a Porygon?! Giving people seizures again I WILL HAVE YOUR CYBERNETIC HEAD YOU PILE OF CODE!
Sven:
What's wrong?!
They never tell us.
Sven:
Vlad!
We're going after Henry!
Let's do this shit.
I regain control.
Lady:
How can I get back to my own house?
You can't.

Little Girl:
I made a new friend today!
A funny kind of man named Murph!
Wait, I thought Murph was afraid to go outside. In fact, he didn't go outside at all during that scene. Did he know about this? Did that dick seriously know that space was messed up and not tell us?
Little Boy:
Playing tag here is awesomely fun!
Nothing interesting to be said here. Also, the Ranger Base nearby goes to the proper place.
Capt. Puel
Ha-choo!
I took my boat out to sea, but I ended up
in Ice Lake somehow.
I picked up a cold from that!
What he didn't seem to pick up was his boat, because it's nowhere in sight.
Hank:
What's the matter?
Can't I go into the house?
Sven:
I reckon this will be one odd Mission.
Merchant:
I left the village, and yet I'm still here.
What's wrong here?
Indeed, trying to leave from the north or east results in being dumped on the other end. Also, there is a huge amount of dirt inexplicably in the way of the northwest exit.
Little Girl:
It's really hot here!
But where is this?!
Wait, if only the Ranger Union is accessable from the village, then how did this little girl end up here?
Well, the Ranger Union and...Hippowdon Temple. That's where Henry ran.
Henry:
Rangers?
Is this place really...?
Not really a place to be scared of if you're just walking in. But if you explore it - then god forbid! You're knee-deep in shit if you choose to do that.
Sven:
Yep. Hippowdon Temple.
So, if the only places "linked" with Haruba Village are itself, the Temple, and the Ranger Union, how DID that Little Girl get here? Where did she get here from?
Sven:
But somehow, it's not.
Not the way it ought to be.
Hey, if it removes the cannon room, I'm all for it!
Sven:
Something's been gnawing at me.
A rat? They give the black plague, you know.
Sven:
It's about this Pokemon.
Said to be capable of distorting space...
In an elaborate fashion.
Sven:
I'm talking about Palkia.
Seems more like a prankster to me.
Rhythmi:
Sven and Vlad, you are in Hippowdon
Temple, aren't you?
Sudden voicemail.
Rhythmi:
We're getting indications of a Pokemon
more powerful than anything before!
That's what you said about Darkrai! Or was it Regigigas? Whatever.
Rhythmi:
It's in your vicinity!
Please be careful!
Pure. Fucking. Darkness. That's what I fought and won. Bring it on.
Sven:
More powerful than anything before...
My guess about Palkia might be spot on.
You think? The mission is only called "Palkia in Haruba Desert!?" you know.
Sven:
By the way, Henry...
Thanks for coming with us.
From here on, we Rangers will..
Henry:
Oh, come on now, you can't give me the
brush-off now.
I've been along for the ride.
Don't leave me by the wayside.
I'm here for the whole trip!
But what's going to happen if the three of us unexpectedly walk into a bar?
Sven:
What to do...
Do it.
Sven:
...Actually, there's no guarantee Henry
can get out safely on his own.
And going in, fixing the problem, and making him run with us through the cannon room is perfectly safe?
Sven:
Fine, we'll do that.
We'll stick together.
Sven:
That's how we're going, Vlad.
Slower and steadier than usual.
Great, and I just got done going through a game fast and furious. Well, more fast and furious than most people.
Control regained at last!
Sven:
We've got a civilian with us.
Slower and steadier than usual.
We didn't go very slow and steady when we rescued Isaac, nor when I helped furfag with his Riolu.
Henry:
Oh, this is some kind of exciting!
What comes next?
What indeed! We shall find out!
Part 136: Next Comes What?
As I walk through the temple, I see little shits, including Sandshrew, Fearow, Floatzel, and Arcanine, the latter of which I had to fight because of inattentiveness, but no matter.
A fisherman fishing in quicksand? Err...one, don't you have to walk into another place before you get warped, and two, even given that, does he seriously expect to catch anything in quicksand?
I outrun the Floatzel coming after me and walk through the door into...
It looks like....uhh...I can't tell from where I'm standing. But it's a road heading north-south. And Sven acts surprised.
Now that that's cleared up, why is he surprised? I thought he knew we were going to be going wherever.
Henry has a "get out of this weirdness" ticket.
And I thought the information age had arrived and he'd know about this.
If only he knew how to use a computer...he'd know all about this. Or knew how to take a vacation.
Control regained...sadly, this won't be like the Dialga mission where I can just kick back and play now. Here I have to sit through these scenes every time. Fuck you, Henry.
Control...
I'd love to see them try to make a whole world.
It's not wrong, but it's annoying to me, the player and LPer to have to copy stuff down.
Some Swinub and a Piloswine is here.
I'm not. He is. He's dumb.
I get a nearby Magneton and walk past generic female Ranger into the Union, which leads...
...to Altru Tower's "light" floor where Darkrai once was! There's a Rapidash, Aggron, and Carnivine (that wasn't initially asleep) here. And some Researchers
He's questioning this, but not the stairs leading to outside the Ranger Union?
At least this guy's somewhat sane in that regard.
Up the next set of stairs is...Shiver Camp!
Has he not felt that when bathing in the Oasis? Or does the Pokemon world not account for water being cold even during the day?
Explanation of why he cannot by Sven in 3...2...1...
One and a half...one and a quarter...
Shit!
There's an Altaria here.
Pamur, whose name is still the second worst name in this game, is here, not even noticing the weirdness.
Fun fact: People who live in wintery areas have a tendancy to get suntanned as well. This is because of the light from the sun reflecting off the snow and creating a kind of glare that can tan the skin. But of course, in this valley with its ever-present snow except after that last mission which doesn't seem to contribute to the deepness of the snow on the ground, that doesn't happen.
Sure, why not? I can make yellow snowballs easier, too.
k
The Ranger Base here is again properly linked. Did Palkia forget to mix them up? Pamur's house just leads to the one room in the Chroma Highlands with the Vileplumes.
Vientown is to the west. By which I mean the beach. Except a Primeape and Haunter seem to have taken up residence. And it's that time of year again! The time when the tide comes in!
Sand, and whatnot.
Err...wait, does that mean the people of Haruba all wear heavy clothes? Wouldn't they get even hotter? Or is it for skin protection? Either way, fuck yeah, Beach Boy gets his first unique line in a long time!
That's not how dieting works.
There's a Jigglypuff hopping around here, and...a Research Team Member! Ah-ha! So he's what they were talking about!
Again with the environmentalism, except now, they imply they'd react by going swimming.
There's a Cacturne and Sceptile near Breeze Hill, where, if you've forgotten, lovers need to watch for falling rocks.
Finally, a sign of my destination shows up, as I come out of the right nostril of the temple. Wonder what would happen if I hopped down here...but the game won't let me.
Seriously, this needs to stop. Does anyone but me know the nature of this mission?!
Not funny.
At least two people are enjoying themselves. And hey, I am too, just not as much.
The next destination is...my house. With the freaky sister.
I swear, if you try to fuck my mother...or my sister!
But what? But nothing. He says nothing after this.
No thanks.
Okay, and here is where this mission officially jumps the shark.
How the hell did it get here?! What's with the random concentration of...well, whatever the scientific term is for something changing around something else without the something else changing. But it gets worse...talk to it multiple times...
Oh god, it's changing on the spot.
Every time you do this, some lines or a "!" appear over your character's head. And then there's an annoying delay before you can do anything, even if you clear the message away.
Outside my house is...the fucking Volcano Cave. Specifically...I forgot. There are no Drifloon/hot air puzzles, though, which is good!
Yep. Now go get it!
Strangely, the Pokemon here are kind of the same. At least, a Raichu is. There's also a Hypno, which I'm not sure of (probably not), and a Torterra, which isn't. Suddenly, Palkia!
Over where? This is not the time to be vague! It's close, though...I can hear it!
Now there's a fisherman fishing in...get this: FUCKING LAVA! Now this is plausable: unlike quicksand, there are a fair amount of Pokemon that like to hang out in the lava. But what is stupid about this is how graphically, nothing melted.
There's a Scizor here...another Raichu...a Bellossom...a Lopunny (which somehow ended up floating in the air as a result of a glitch)...
The east exit led to Chroma Ruins. The room where the Team Dim Sun grunts were that got stunk out. There's also a Walrein (which somehow is able to slide around on the rock and charge) and a Sableye.
It sounds exactly like a normal Palkia cry to me...so Palkia must always be suffering.
Or is he against us?
Deadly sin.
Angler:
I was fishing with my buddy in a river.
What is this all about?
A fisherman fishing in quicksand? Err...one, don't you have to walk into another place before you get warped, and two, even given that, does he seriously expect to catch anything in quicksand?
I outrun the Floatzel coming after me and walk through the door into...
Sven:
Huh?
It looks like....uhh...I can't tell from where I'm standing. But it's a road heading north-south. And Sven acts surprised.
Sven:
This is near the Union!
Now that that's cleared up, why is he surprised? I thought he knew we were going to be going wherever.
Henry:
Oh, my goodness and good gosh!
There's a place with this much green and
free-flowing water?
Henry has a "get out of this weirdness" ticket.
Henry:
It's like one giant oasis and nothing but!
Is this maybe whaty you call traveling?
And I thought the information age had arrived and he'd know about this.
Sven:
Henry, you've been protecting Haruba
Village all your life, yeah?
This is your first visit to the world outside,
I take it.
If only he knew how to use a computer...he'd know all about this. Or knew how to take a vacation.
Control regained...sadly, this won't be like the Dialga mission where I can just kick back and play now. Here I have to sit through these scenes every time. Fuck you, Henry.
Control...
Sven:
The world's a much, much bigger place.
I'd love to see them try to make a whole world.
Henry:
I know it's wrong to be having fun at a time
like this, but I am!
It's not wrong, but it's annoying to me, the player and LPer to have to copy stuff down.
Some Swinub and a Piloswine is here.
Ranger:
Sven? Vlad? What's wrong?
You both appear quite confused.
I'm not. He is. He's dumb.
I get a nearby Magneton and walk past generic female Ranger into the Union, which leads...
...to Altru Tower's "light" floor where Darkrai once was! There's a Rapidash, Aggron, and Carnivine (that wasn't initially asleep) here. And some Researchers
Researcher (1):
Well, it's not every day you see Rangers
guiding a tour of the Tower.
He's questioning this, but not the stairs leading to outside the Ranger Union?
Researcher (2):
I thought things were different than
usual.
There are lots of Pokemon roaming here
that we don't usually see.
At least this guy's somewhat sane in that regard.
Up the next set of stairs is...Shiver Camp!
Henry:
Ooh, this feels very strange!
Oh, so this is what being cold it like!
Cold feels like this!
Has he not felt that when bathing in the Oasis? Or does the Pokemon world not account for water being cold even during the day?
Henry:
And, oh, this must be...
Snow! I've heard about this!
I'll take some home to Hank in a jar!
Explanation of why he cannot by Sven in 3...2...1...
Henry:
Oh my gosh, I can't believe this view!
I'd surely like Hank to set his eyes on this!
One and a half...one and a quarter...
Shit!
There's an Altaria here.
Pamur:
Hi, Vlad!
It's been a while!
Pamur, whose name is still the second worst name in this game, is here, not even noticing the weirdness.
Pamur:
The suntanned fellow behind you...
He's an accomplished traveler, I'd bet.
Fun fact: People who live in wintery areas have a tendancy to get suntanned as well. This is because of the light from the sun reflecting off the snow and creating a kind of glare that can tan the skin. But of course, in this valley with its ever-present snow except after that last mission which doesn't seem to contribute to the deepness of the snow on the ground, that doesn't happen.
Little Girl:
Whee!
Rangers, let's have a snowball fight!
Sure, why not? I can make yellow snowballs easier, too.
Boy:
I don't know what's going on, but this is
awesomely fun!
k
The Ranger Base here is again properly linked. Did Palkia forget to mix them up? Pamur's house just leads to the one room in the Chroma Highlands with the Vileplumes.
Vientown is to the west. By which I mean the beach. Except a Primeape and Haunter seem to have taken up residence. And it's that time of year again! The time when the tide comes in!
Henry:
I'm starting to feel nostalgic for the
Haruba Desert.
Sand, and whatnot.
Beach Boy:
That guy's wearing a heavy coat!
Isn't he boiling in that?!
Err...wait, does that mean the people of Haruba all wear heavy clothes? Wouldn't they get even hotter? Or is it for skin protection? Either way, fuck yeah, Beach Boy gets his first unique line in a long time!
Beach Girl:
It's on of those dieting suits.
It makes you sweat!
That's not how dieting works.
There's a Jigglypuff hopping around here, and...a Research Team Member! Ah-ha! So he's what they were talking about!
Research Team Member:
Is this extreme global warming?!
I should have brought swim trunks!
Again with the environmentalism, except now, they imply they'd react by going swimming.
There's a Cacturne and Sceptile near Breeze Hill, where, if you've forgotten, lovers need to watch for falling rocks.
Finally, a sign of my destination shows up, as I come out of the right nostril of the temple. Wonder what would happen if I hopped down here...but the game won't let me.
Rhythmi:
You two seem to be hopping around all over
the place.
Are you both okay?
Seriously, this needs to stop. Does anyone but me know the nature of this mission?!
Rhythmi:
You seem to be taking a really roundabout
way, but you are closing in on the Pokemon.
Not funny.
Sven:
Heh, I've been having too much fun.
Forgot all about that Pokemon in Hippowdon
Temple!
At least two people are enjoying themselves. And hey, I am too, just not as much.
Little Sis:
Big Brother?!
When did you come home?
The next destination is...my house. With the freaky sister.
Mom:
Oh, you've brought company?
I wish you had warned me.
I could have made some vegetable soup.
Sven:
Oh, howdy, ma'am.
Glad to make your acquaintance.
I swear, if you try to fuck my mother...or my sister!
Sven:
We, uh, didn't mean to barge in on you
like this, but...
But what? But nothing. He says nothing after this.
Mom:
Would you like some raw veggie sticks at
least?
No thanks.
Okay, and here is where this mission officially jumps the shark.
It's crammed with ammo for snowball fights.
Is this Shiver Camp's refrigerator?
How the hell did it get here?! What's with the random concentration of...well, whatever the scientific term is for something changing around something else without the something else changing. But it gets worse...talk to it multiple times...
It's full of milk pudding!
Is this Big Bertha's refrigerator?
Oh god, it's changing on the spot.
It's iced espresso coffee.
Is this Henry's refrigerator?
Every time you do this, some lines or a "!" appear over your character's head. And then there's an annoying delay before you can do anything, even if you clear the message away.
Outside my house is...the fucking Volcano Cave. Specifically...I forgot. There are no Drifloon/hot air puzzles, though, which is good!
Henry:
Whew! This is even hotter than the desert!
Is that pasta sauce bubbling over?
What is this place?
Yep. Now go get it!
Strangely, the Pokemon here are kind of the same. At least, a Raichu is. There's also a Hypno, which I'm not sure of (probably not), and a Torterra, which isn't. Suddenly, Palkia!
Sven:
Never heard that cry before.
It's a Pokemon's cry for sure.
It came from over there?
Over where? This is not the time to be vague! It's close, though...I can hear it!
Angler:
Everything melted -- hook, line, and sinker!
Fishing's not happening anymore.
Now there's a fisherman fishing in...get this: FUCKING LAVA! Now this is plausable: unlike quicksand, there are a fair amount of Pokemon that like to hang out in the lava. But what is stupid about this is how graphically, nothing melted.
There's a Scizor here...another Raichu...a Bellossom...a Lopunny (which somehow ended up floating in the air as a result of a glitch)...
The east exit led to Chroma Ruins. The room where the Team Dim Sun grunts were that got stunk out. There's also a Walrein (which somehow is able to slide around on the rock and charge) and a Sableye.
Sven:
Did you hear that?
There was suffering in that cry.
It sounds exactly like a normal Palkia cry to me...so Palkia must always be suffering.
Sven:
It came from that hole, it seems to me.
We have to jump in.
Henry, you still with us?
Or is he against us?
Henry:
I-I-I'll b-b-be okay!
As the representative of Haruba
Village, I'll jump in proudly!
Deadly sin.
Part 137: Palkia > Dialga. Seriously.
It's time to bring this spatial-distorting thing down!
I feel a lot of things in my stomach. No big deal.
I hop down, and finally end up in the little oasis!
I fought...
Pure fucking darkness.
I can handle this.
Sven sees something.
It's...it's...
Nowhere to run, boy, it's Palkia! The same weird fazy hole that was behind Dialga is here. Wait, nowhere to run? That means I can't go back either! Where's the warp?! Where's the Drifblim!??!?!
Shit! I'm doomed.
Not wounded enough to not be able to elaborately rearrange the world's paths and doorways all while ignoring Ranger Bases, though.
*sigh* When we they learn that destroying things when in pain is never a good idea?
Why can't you?
The warp back to the surface is not here, nor is a Drifblim. Only a Magneton, and the Palkia. Vlad just steps to it.
Boss intro! Boss HP bar! Boss music (gem guardian)! Boss fight!
269. Palkia
Here, I could relax a little. Palkia's only attack seemed to be firing weird blue orbs in random directions. Easy to predict, and while hard to dodge, easy to just lift the stylus. But then he warped us to the Volcano Cave, where fire proceeded to erupt from the ground, and it started using...Hyper Beam. lol. It sometimes tried the orb attacks too. But I also found something else out: the fire is considered an attack (not an environmental hazard), so if you freeze/disable Palkia, you're laughing. Good thing with the former too, because it is again a dragon type. It also had a water attack that I didn't catch, because it only used it once and I got hit with it before I could even see it. It did a lot of damage, though (around 40!). It sometimes shot out a *LOT* of those orbs at once, too. It also warped me to a snowfield where ice came out of the ground (which I could similarly stop), and back to the temple, where nothing came out of the ground. Then I caught it.
Henry:
You really felt that cry in your stomach!
It was so deep!
I feel a lot of things in my stomach. No big deal.
I hop down, and finally end up in the little oasis!
Rhythmi:
Vlad, I'm getting signals indicating
an incredibly strong Pokemon!
It's right in your vicinity!
Be alert!
I fought...
Pure fucking darkness.
I can handle this.
Sven sees something.
Sven:
We finally meet.
It's...it's...
Henry:
Giyeeeeh!
Nowhere to run, boy, it's Palkia! The same weird fazy hole that was behind Dialga is here. Wait, nowhere to run? That means I can't go back either! Where's the warp?! Where's the Drifblim!??!?!
Henry:
Awaha ooga ubaba...
Izza izza it's huuuuuge!
Shit! I'm doomed.
Sven:
Palkia's wounded!
Not wounded enough to not be able to elaborately rearrange the world's paths and doorways all while ignoring Ranger Bases, though.
Sven:
It must've distorted space because it's in
so much pain!
*sigh* When we they learn that destroying things when in pain is never a good idea?
Sven:
Capture it so we can treat it!
Why can't you?
The warp back to the surface is not here, nor is a Drifblim. Only a Magneton, and the Palkia. Vlad just steps to it.
Boss intro! Boss HP bar! Boss music (gem guardian)! Boss fight!
269. Palkia
Here, I could relax a little. Palkia's only attack seemed to be firing weird blue orbs in random directions. Easy to predict, and while hard to dodge, easy to just lift the stylus. But then he warped us to the Volcano Cave, where fire proceeded to erupt from the ground, and it started using...Hyper Beam. lol. It sometimes tried the orb attacks too. But I also found something else out: the fire is considered an attack (not an environmental hazard), so if you freeze/disable Palkia, you're laughing. Good thing with the former too, because it is again a dragon type. It also had a water attack that I didn't catch, because it only used it once and I got hit with it before I could even see it. It did a lot of damage, though (around 40!). It sometimes shot out a *LOT* of those orbs at once, too. It also warped me to a snowfield where ice came out of the ground (which I could similarly stop), and back to the temple, where nothing came out of the ground. Then I caught it.
Part 138: Is It That Time Again...? (No.)
Sven:
All right. Steady boy. That's good.
We'll see to what ails you right now.
Hold steady boy.
What?
Sven:
It's for you and the world's sakes.
Put up with this much, will you?
At least there's no Giratina mission. It wouldn't take this shit at all.
Sven:
All right.
That's all done and good.
Palkia leaves into the weird hole, which vanishes.
Sven:
Seems that Palkia's returned to its own
place in space.
Where could that be?
The screen goes back to Haruba Desert. By the way, we ran in from the right to get to Henry's house, implying the world is still messed up.
Henry:
Rangers! Let me thank you!
I thank you for that world trip!
Oh,my, how splendid it was!
Was everything covered? I think so. Well, everything but underwater and the Oil Field Platform, I believe. And the school.
Henry:
You've given this old man a new dream.
A trip around the world with my son!
Henry:
I'll work hard in the Haruba Desert and
save up for it!
But there's no money in the game! Who pays you to do what you do?!
Prof Hastings:
Vlad and Sven! So tell me, what was
behind the peculiar state of affairs?
...Palkia you say?!
You've seen the legendary Pokemon Palkia
with your own eyes?!
I've seen a lot of legendaries, as I've mentioned. No big deal.
Sven:
Not just saw.
Treated its injury.
Sven isn't as fun-loving as Wendy.
Prof. Hastings:
Grr...I'm green with envy!
Two deadly sins in one mission?
Prof. Hastings:
I should have chased after you, even if it
meant skipping out on the meeting!
And you didn't think to come see any of the other legendaries I encountered before?
Sven:
Professor, we're busy here.
I'll report in later.
I like these missions. No congratulatory message overload.
Sven:
The distortion in space's gone, so things
are back to the way they ought be.
Still doesn't explain why we came in from the right. Or how everyone's going to get home. I had three beers in that refridgerator of mine! God only knows where it is now!
Sven:
Further, we gave Henry a new dream!
Mission accomplished.
Hank:
Papa!
Where were you?
Henry:
Well, here and there with the Rangers...
Oh, that's right, can't forget!
Hank, put your hand out.
It's a souvenir from up north.
Here it comes! Did he get the container to hold it in when we weren't looking?
Hank:
Wow!
It's really clear...
At least it's not yellow, right? Then again, there are arguably worse liquids that happen to be white that might be mixed in there...
Hank:
This water must be really tasty!
But I won't drink it!
I'm going to keep it!
Thank you, Papa!
Henry says nothing to this. Speechless, much?
Sven:
Though the snow's melted away, the feeling
stays unchanged.
Heh, maybe a distortion in space isn't a bad
thing now and then.
Amen!
And that's it for this mission! One more! Just need to wait for it to be released...
