Dragon Quill

Well, it’s destroyed ghost-filled shopping mall time! (more…)

I enter the next event flag, as expressed by doors.

Hau immediately appears to signal cutscene time and does such useful exposition as reminding me of my name and location.

Then a pair of creepy toddlers turn and shout Strangers! as one. They rush us and demand a battle. (more…)

So, the building Gladion came out of was another motel. (more…)

I proceed to the garden, where Kukui appears to be being menaced by some children.

You say you wanna make a Pokemon League? You got rocks in your skull?

The children make some good points. (more…)

Kukui: Bonnibel!

Ugh okay fine. (more…)

Time to go down.

And okay FINE I’ll talk to Oak. (more…)

Well, time for a brief bit of actually going where the plot wants me to. (more…)

Last time:

But weren’t you supposed to meet with the professor in Malie Garden?

noooooooooo lillie not you too when will the roadblocks end (more…)

Faba: Here we are, you two. This is Aether Paradise. (more…)

Hey, a nosepass! (more…)

I head in to the rock store where the event flag is.

Bonnibel-Oliva here. This is Probopass. It watches the shop whenever I’m away. I know I asked you to meet me here, but there’s been a change of plans. Come meet me at the Ruins of Life past Memorial Hill, when you can.

See, a well-programmed game would’ve had her already be there when I checked it out first. (more…)

I’m through the tunnel! And there’s a police station.

Route 9 Police Station
“Don’t fight! Don’t meet anyone’s eyes!”

…what? Is this like, their motto, or is it their victim-blamey advice for us, or…???

And then a police officer attacks me. (more…)

Okay, so, time to finish up the lab section. I deign to speak to Hau, who says he’ll be checking out the Diglett’s Tunnel – so, sounds like that’s open now, thanks for the tip – and then make an attempt for the elevator that Prof. Labsafetyfail is standing determinedly in front of. (more…)

Prof. Labsafetyfail politely just tells me where to go without strongarming me there through a cutscene, so I’m fine heading over there instead of seeking to escape the railroad. (more…)

Alright, the new area’s unlocked…but how about that asshole on the stoutland, what’s he up to?

Still there. The moment Bonnibel gets true power, there will be so much blood. (more…)
