Chapter 5
Using attract on my partner in confusion GONE WRONG
When you’re. When yo. You’re. Gay.
But why do I keep getting borderline NSFW chapter titles, send help
“Local fairy type wreaks havoc, breaks laws of spacetime to transform a lively forest into a frozen feudal estate: more at 11″
Yeah, I know! Scary, right? Honestly, just send Mewtwo in: one glare at Togetic and he’ll fix the problem in no time flat.
Team Heavenly gets our first real assignment! (Ignore the reflection on the screen, I do not wish to be Perceived)
To recruit Pokémon, you say? Sounds great! How do you plan on doing it, Dusclops?
“Its body is hollow. It is said that those who look into its body are sucked into the void.” -Pokémon Diamond/Pearl ‘Dex entry
...Oh. Okay. *inches away slowly*
Here’s Team Slacker, with Venusaur as Slowpoke and Steelix as Slakoth. They’ve clearly grown too old for this exploration nonsense.
Okay I guess I was wrong about the Outlaw jobs being out of commission! Or do they only show up after Waterfall Cave?
Uh, what’s that? Sure, I’ll do some... but not today. Why? B-because I’m a cow- uhhh I mean, because of the waterfall mission! That’s totally why.
More Team introductions! Team Flame being made up of Grass types... how ironic.
Uh. No. I can’t imagine that. Sorry ._.
Aw, the dialogue belonging to Sunny Form Cherrim fits so well here!
So, Shiftry is obviously Bellsprout. The other two I wasn’t so sure of, but a quick search on the internet helped me out. Here we have Combee as Camerupt, and Cherrim as Ponyta. Has a real woodlands vibe if you ask me.
Eevee?! Good to see you, lad! (For those curious: Eevee is standing in for Zangoose, Stunky for Scyther, and Croconaw for Sandslash
I mean, all three of you do have claws, so... Randomizer, you’re off the hook this time.
Some other updates in Nautical Cottage:
👀 Ohhhh, gimmie gimmie gimmie! I already have tickets to redeem!
Rotom: ???
Remember the Dojo? Good news: it’s open!
Kinda weird to hear him talk about his marrow though... my guy, you’re boneless.
“Secret Waterfall” isn’t randomized, it seems. Ah well, we’ll see the new name soon enough.
*insert temporal flashback shenanigans here*
I noticed this when our first Time Gear was stolen, but Pokémon that are shown as silhouettes in the base game... well, that doesn’t show up here. You’ll see what I mean in a later photo.
Another thing I thought I noticed, and this confirms it! Despite Andrea being marked as female, she’s using one of the male tone styles. (I’ve always seen girl partners say “Use all your courage!” here.) Interesting!
Oh boy, here we go. After the fresh hell I’ve faced the past few chapters, I wonder what awaits us now...
Woah, funky neon noodle cave! AKA the Luxurious Moor.
As it turns out, my fears were unfounded! For once, the team marched through the 8 floors without facing a single Monster House or activating a devastating trap. In fact, I only have one real item to discuss: recruitment. Unfortunately no one new joined us, but I wanted to take a peak at the variety of Pokémon between floors.
It’s about what you would expect for, well, a randomized list. Note to self: get in the habit of checking potential recruits every floor so I don’t get jump scared by a freaking Palkia or something.
Noooo Andrea, don’t get distracted by the shiny things... you’re so sexy pretty, aha...
Andrea. Andrea, no-
Real time footage of what happened next.
With the reminder that Horsea is Teddiursa, Toxicroak is Vigorith, and Linoone is Ursaring, we add to the crew Ralts as Mankey and Barboach as Primeape! (Yeah I know they don’t really show up after this but still.)
The... huh. Well, I guess it could feel like a “brilliant fire” to your muscles.
I just found this discrepancy funny.
I’m howling that elder Torkoal shows up as a Riolu. Who the heck are you calling a youngster, little dudette?!
The next two shots showed some funky text placement, probably to adjust for the character length of Brilliant Fire:
Alright, here’s the promised photo from the flashbacks:
When they take away the non-existent shadow, the animation shows Totodile basically doing a somersault and getting up. It’s pretty comical.
What’s left is basically a montage of story-related things, but nothing new per se.
“Yeah man, I’m telling you! This whole ‘Secret Waterfall’ business is just a giant cover up from Big Government! Next they’re gonna take away our right to bare iron thorns!”
...That physically hurt to type.
Rip to all of Andrea’s hopes and dreams, they did not live long 😔✊
🥺️💖
I wonder if the name of Teresa’s ability is gonna be randomized 🤔 I really hope so because that has the potential to be immensely funny.
And lastly, the initial Expedition announcement from Totodile.
If you made it this far, thanks for reading 😊 Chapter 6: (Insert nonsensical title here) has just been processed. Please allow 3-7 days for your order to be shipped.
