Pokémon BW Rival Destinies: Wrath of the Legends (2013) Comic Storybook Scans

The second book (here is a link to the first!) is titled "Wrath of the Legends", and is adapted from parts one and two of the episode "Stopping the Rage of Legends!" This book is about Ash and crew going to the Island of Legends, where they get caught up in a battle between the Forces of Nature.

Ash tries to battle Clay for the Driftveil gym badge, but instead is given a fetch quest to refill the revival herb stock at the gym.

They set out for Milos island and meet a guy named Lewis, who says the revival herbs are drying out and the grass Pokémon of Milos island are falling ill.

They learn that the island has a legend involving the revival herbs and the legendary Pokémon Landorus, Thundurus, and Tornadus.

The crew attempt to summon Landorus, who is the peacekeeper of the three, and instead Tornadus shows up.

Tornadus is here and it is not happy. Apparently an obelisk that protects the island from Tornadus and Thundurus has been destroyed. Thundurus also shows up, and it too, is not happy.

And of course, these two are both not happy at all to see each other, thus making them each more unhappy. Quite the unhappy bunch we have here.

Turns out Team Rocket is behind the destroyed obelisks, and all is going according to keikaku for them. And yes, I'm putting this panel out of sequence because it literally says "according to Team Rocket's evil plan…".

All according to keikaku.

The gang try to fight the feuding legendary Pokémon to no avail.

For some reason, Lewis is sure Landorus will show up if it is summoned by a shrine maiden. He just decides to appoint Iris as a shrine maiden…I guess because she is a girl?

Apparently any girl dressed up in shrine maiden clothing will work.

You look great, sweetie! Also just love how Iris looks like she is indoors while the guys reacting to her are outside? Lewis, it already looks like you are back at the shrine. Also love Ash's singular "Wow!" and Cilan's dead open mouth stare.

Iris does look cute in her shrine maiden outfit. Here are a couple more pics of her.

I'm a sucker for characters getting interesting alternative outfits for plot.

So the gang summon Landorus - Pokémon battles and Team Rocket shenanigans ensue. All that's really important is that the gang defeat Team Rocket, save the legendary Pokémon, and Landorus stops the fighting between Thundurus and Tornadus.

Now I'm going to share some panels of that are meant to be very serious, but are just downright (Darius) hilarious to me.

I love when there is supposed to be a serious moment between powerful Pokémon and they aren't saying anything besides their names! It's so comical, I love it.

They have such a way with words.

The legendary Pokémon calm down and work together to give life back to the island. The revival herbs and grass Pokémon flourish and heal from their illness while Ash and gang continue on their journey.

And yeah! That's basically it for this book.

I did forget to mention Lewis has a partner Pokémon, Gothorita. Just like Palpitoad in Book #1, Gothorita steals the show for me with her expressions.

We stan a goth(orita) queen.

。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°

That's all I have for now, it was quite fun going through these books. My Pokémon anime experience ends with Pokémon Advance, which took place in Generation 3. I enjoyed revisiting the anime art style!

I'm not sure if there are more books in this series, as I only found these two (link again to the first one!) at the store.

As always, you can read the whole book(s) and view higher quality scans on my Internet Archive account.

Thanks for reading!

[perenlop]

watching japanese pokemon openings again and sorta ranking them in my head, and its kinda insane to me that i think the dub openings for bw are consistently better than the originals

[negaiishipping]

I need to share something very important with everyone. The other day my brother picked me up from therapy and we were going to visit our grandparents. On the way, I decided to show him my favourite vault track from Speak Now Taylor's Version (the latest re-recording by Taylor), because I'm annoying and I can't shut up. That vault track is Electric Touch, featuring Fall Out Boy.

I showed him the song. And he told me "it kinda sounds like the Black and White opening song". I asked him "the first one?" and he said "no, the second one".

The Rival Destinies opening.

And he was completely right. I couldn't believe how I hadn't noticed that before, since these are some of my favourite things in life, Taylor Swift and Best Wishes!!!

Listen to them by yourself. The chorus of both songs are extremely similar, especially the instrumental.

Best Wishes: Rival Destinies opening

Electric Touch - Taylor Swift and Fall Out Boy

Electric Touch (Instrumental)

BW Rival Destinies (Instrumental)

I am so extremely excited, happy, drowning in nostalgia. In my mom's house, in my old room, there's still the lyrics of the BW song written on the ceiling. I wrote that when I was a kid. And I've been listening to Taylor since I was so little too. So, realizing this is very important and incredible to me. It's like, two things I love are connected and the fact that this was my favorite vault song even before noticing the similarities!

Thank you for reading :')

[artificial-ascension]

I have 33 episodes of Unova left it has been like 10 days since I started Black and White. Can you tell it's my favorite.

[the-witchs-cafe]

A bit more of a meta question than a specific character question: but how do you think kyubey and the witch system work in the pokemon world? Would kyubey perhaps be a legendary, or is he something completely unrelated? Can kyubey and/or witches be caught in poke balls? And what about soul gems?

I'd be lying if I didn't say that I have been seriously brainstorming this for some time. While I do have bits and pieces in my disposal atm, I am more than happy to share them with ya! Hopefully, with time, we could manage to uncover a bigger picture here; see how these small particles of knowledge interconnect with one another to form a constellation like no other.

This is gonna be separated into parts, because, pal, I am gonna unleash levels of autism like no other;

-

Incubators

- H E A V E N S A Y S - "Y O U A R E A N A N G E L !"

So, first thing's first, Kyubey; after looking into his main inspiration, being the Old Ones and any other eldritch horror that is beyond human rationality, I've theorized that perhaps that a whole other incubator species is present within the Pokemon universe. Much like Kyubey, their individual "selves" are little more than parts of a much higher, vaster being that is looking down at humanity with calculative intrigue; striking a single one of them down is an act akin to simply waving your hand in front of their face, which is annoying, but not necessarily harmful. Unlike incubators, though, I can see their designs being more heavenly and digital; focused on what is right or wrong without any of the nuance of humanity, as well as butterflies being a key motif present.

While I am still working on how they would work lore-wise (like, how they came to being in the first place'; perhaps born from the expansion of the universe, as a consequence of Arceus' actions?), I don't think they would be in any way related to Pokemon as a species- rather, they are part of the universe as a whole. Think of the Pokemon universe as an Operating System, and the incubators as an essential application, there to ensure that the OS is running in a stable manner like a sort of booster, and magi are their own anti-viruses.

Aside from emotions and karmic destiny, tho (because I fucking hate Kyubey's justification for why he only contracts with girls in-canon; "oh, girls are just more emotional-" shut up), the incubators of the Pokemon universe also target desire; think visions from Genshin Impact, those whose wishes are so powerful that they rival the very narrative they are in. Those who seek to take charge of their destinies are more than likely to contract.

Witches

Regarding witches, I have to make it clear that, no; they're still interdimensional monsters born from curses and are, in fact, the maddened remnants of the souls of the magi they once were trapped in an eternal nightmare. However, it can be said that they would develop certain...quirks depending on the region they hail from. I'm still working on the whole list of regions, but here is what I got so far;

Alola: Community (can call for one another for assistance; battles against one another is rare, as they prefer to team up. More in-tune with the physical world than the rest.) and ??? (something to do with Z-Power, and how it would affect the witches and their barriers; still need to work on that)

Galar: Monarchies (the strongest witch there is crowned as their "ruler"; mirroring the region's celebrity culture and the old monarchs of Britain) and illusions (upon witching out, the magi leave behind "specters" of their former selves; kinda like faceless remnant data of the people they used to be, haunting the places and people that influenced them so until the witch's defeat. This phenomenon is caused by the former trainer's wishing star/dynamax band and the region's power spots.)

Paldea: Regrets/Treasures (still working on that) and paradoxes (how fucked up would it be if you met your future witch form looking down at you and square in the eyes, amirite you guys? Dang it, Sada and Turo...)

Aside from all of the above, if the magi happened to be a Pokemon trainer themselves before falling into despair, I think that their accompanying party 'mons would also be affected. After all, Z-power is drawn from both the trainer and their pokemon, and Mega Evolution's success depends on the bond made with one another. I'm still working on the intricacies, but they might become akin to shadow Pokemon from Pokemon Colosseum/XD: Gale of Darkness; they aren't familiars for the witch, but they would still be driven to insanity by their master's despair and still obey them in this form.

As a side-note, mainly because I am a huge Alola stan, I should state that, through Z-moves, the region technically has something akin to the Doppel system of Magia Record. When your heart is in-tune with your pokemon's, you share one another's hopes, dreams, worries, and despair in the process, before unleashing it all in the form of an as-of-yet unnamed specialized Z-Move. Using them also doesn't pose the risk of contracting Doppel Syndrome, either, but that is due to the following key aspect that separates this universe's doppel system from that of MR's-

You see, these specialized Z-Moves don't completely cleanse the soul gem upon activation; rather, they simply create a sort of equilibrium between the remaining energies of the magi and their 'mon. In a sense, you are sharing your burdens with your buddy by using this power, while also allowing them to lend their energy to you. Think of how the MC would feel exhausted after unleashing Light that Burns the Sky, then imagine the opposite of that.

This method of purifying soul gems is often regarded as an absolute last resort; the thought of risking your Pokemon's health just to make sure you don't kick the bucket is considered to be way too much of a taboo for most people. If used carelessly, then unleashing this power would cause the user to witch out at an even faster rate- perhaps instantly.

Yeah, between the witches that can actually organize and a less-than-stable doppel system, Alola is one of the worst regions to contract in. Too bad most of the residents there have a LOT of Z-power coursing through their veins, making it a sort of incubator/witch hotspot; same goes for Galar and its Dynamax Energies.

Object Pokemon Halloween Spooktacular! - Team Objective plays Pokemon Emerald

The gloomy Mt. Pyre looms in the distance...

We're back to a gorgeous reflection of the daytime sky! Honestly, though, I'd love to see the darker side of things. Weird, I feel like I haven't seen it get dark once.

There's Team Aqua. You'd think those guys would rather explore the deep sea than a mountain. ...Could some power be lurking there?

I sincerely doubt the mountain having its own pier is the reason.

So I researched what pokemon can be found in this region's safari zone, and you know what I found? NOTHING! NADA! ZILCH! Well, there are geodude in some rock smash rocks, but other that that NOTHING! Why on earth would this "Safari" zone only be filled with natural animals? It makes ZERO sense! Oh, but the grass right OUTSIDE has object pokemon.

...Wait. The grass right outside the zone has object pokemon.

THIS object pokemon!

That's a PIECE OF CLOTH!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the squad, Zipp! I'm sure we'll find someplace you'll be useful...and, now that I think about it, where there's one ghost, there should be more. Ghosts and objects go hand in hand! There's a word for these objects with spirits-Tsukumogami!

...first, though, that jungle trek was pretty tiring. Let's rest up in the next town over.

See? Team Aqua should be more interested in this kind of nonsense! ...Though, now that I think on it, maybe I shouldn't dismiss this so lightly. I found one of those rock patterns in the ocean, after all.

And fans of object pokemon too, right? Right?????

Contests...I may be a battler, but I would love to indulge in showing off the aesthetic charms of my object pokemon! That's their core appeal, after all! However, I don't know the first thing about contests. Maybe another day.

I guess instead I can see if this department store has any dolls oF OH MY GOD WHY IS HE HERE AGAIN.

L

Oh...my...GOD!

They have dolls of BALTOY!

I've found my people at last! Iris, you have evolved by now, but we now have a cute reminder of your original form forever. Give me fifty!

I was advised against bying fifty and instead looking into means of powering up my team. Thankfully these places sell TMs, too.

We'll have Zipp tag along for now. On to Mt. Pyre!

A chilling, mournful place...I will search it and plunder it of its treasures!

(Those treasures being the pokemon. Don't rob graves, kiddos.)

Ah, DUSKULL! One In recognize! I did see some dolls of it back in the department store. Now, Duskull ITSELF is not an object pokemon, but DusCLOPS is a paper lantern ghost! it'll be another welcome ghostly addition!

That eye looks like it has seen the end of the world.

I've finished exploring the gravestones inside, but it seems there is an outside area. Could any extra spookums be found around here?

...Huh. No, it's a pure psychic bellchime.

I love all object pokemon regardless, but somehow I doubt this one is getting any more screentime on this adventure. We will capture him nonetheless.

Drat, the rival teams have gotten here before me. I have been distracted. But, crystal orbs, you say...orbs are OBJECTS!!!!

(I'm kidding. I sincerely doubt these orbs are alive.)

This lady says they're connected to the 'super-ancient pokemon', though. Another target!

A Magma emblem? What use is this? I don't need another team's emblem, I already have my own! I have no desire to dress up as a Magma member, not even if it was Halloween!

I'll consider what to do later. Right now...honestly, I kind of want to get out of here. This place is starting to really give me the creeps.

Time for some quick training! Allsee and Zipp need to catch up to the rest of the team, fast. Ghost types could be an incredible boon.

...Oh, sure, random trainer, show me the other meteorite pokemon I never managed to find. Laugh in my pretty face. (It's so seasonal, too!)

So Shuppet becomes a doll itself! Cute!!! And there's that paper lantern ghost. No Dusknoir destiny for you, Allsee.

I admit, right now I'm a little puzzled. I need to stop whatever those two teams are doing with those orbs (and reap any benefits for myself, of course), but I have no lead other than this Magma Emblem. Let me think, did I ever see Team Magma anywhere suspicious...?

While I think, I'm going to work on something exciting. Here in the desert I will be setting up Team Objective's Hoenn base! Renovations should be complete next episode. Until next time...Happy Hallowee-uh, I mean, Object Pokemon are OBJECTIVELY the best!

Team: StepStone the Graveler (F) Skybomb the Weezing (F) Sungaze the Solrock 'Splodey the Electrode Zipp the Banette (F) Allsee the Dusclops (F)

Good starting points in the Pokémon anime

Okay so the Pokémon anime as of posting this is over 1,300 episodes which, if you study math will know, is really fucking big.

Now it may seem pretty daunting to get into it but it thankfully has a simple order and many different starting points to jump into.

(All places which are recommended by me to start from are labelled in bold)

Indigo League: - Start here for the full experience

The first ever arc of the show

Introduces many classic characters

Adventures in the Orange Islands:

Continues on from the story started in Indigo League but the latter half serves as mostly filler while waiting for the Johto arc to begin

Not a good starting place as it requires Indigo League knowledge to watch it

The Johto Journeys:

The start of the Johto arc - New region, new faces

While it is technically a new region, a lot of Indigo League lore as well as some storylines like the GS Ball from Orange Islands is carried over so also not a good start point

Johto League Champions:

Continuation of Johto

Requires Johto Journeys so not a good start point

Master Quest:

Season 3 of Johto

Requires all previous seasons to watch, mainly JJ and JLC but IL and AitOI is also recommended for information on Gary Oak

Advanced:

Start of Hoenn

Technically an OK starting point but references a lot of previous events from Johto and Kanto so wouldn't recommend as a starting point

Advanced Challenge:

Season 2 of Hoenn

Requires Advanced so not a good starting point

Advanced Battle:

Season 3 of Hoenn

Again requires AC and Advanced so not a good starting point

Battle Frontier:

While it is seperate from the Hoenn, Johto and Kanto journeys, they are all required watching for this season as it acts as a sort of finalé to all of it.

It also acts as a season 4 of Hoenn.

Diamond and Pearl:

Season 1 of Sinnoh

Definitely a good starting point as all events referenced from previous seasons are explained well enough that watching the episodes are less of a requirement

From here on out, using the wiki to find out about returning characters is mostly fine as it would be too much to ask to watch 9 seasons for a character that shows up for a small arc

Animation picks up here and battle rules are more standard from here on out

The four move rule is properly implemented here

Plus Sinnoh is overall a highlight of Pokémon

DP Battle Dimension:

Season 2 of Sinnoh

Requires DP so not a good starting point

DP Galactic Battles:

Season 3 of Sinnoh

Requires DP and DPBD so not a good starting point

DP Sinnoh League Victors:

Season 4 of Sinnoh

Requires DP and DPBD

Some returning characters from before Diamond and Pearl appear but from here, using the wiki for information is fine here.

Black and White:

Season 1 of Unova

Sort of a complete fresh start and technically perfect for a new starting point but apart from the first season, the rest of the Unova anime is subpar and should never be someone's first experience with the show.

This is the only somewhat good season of Unova

BW Rival Destinies:

Season 2 of Unova

Honestly you can skip the rest of Unova and just use the wiki for the remaining characters

BW Adventures in Unova and Beyond:

Season 3 of Unova

The only section that requires prior knowledge is Charizard's return and they spend an entire episode explaining what you need to know anyways so no previous watching before Unova is needed but honestly the same rule from Rival Destinies apply. You can skip this one too.

XY:

Season 1 of Kalos

Is a perfect start point for the same reasons as Black and White but doesn't get trash later down the line.

The Kalos section of the anime is widely considered its greatest for good reason.

XY Kalos Quest:

Season 2 of Kalos

XY is required but nothing else.

XYZ:

Season 3 of Kalos

Widely regarded as the best season of Pokemon ever for good reason.

Requires XY and Kalos Quest

Sun and Moon:

Season 1 of Alola

Can start here but is very unconventional to start here.

Amazingly good season but received large negative reception due to releasing after its best season and the animation dipping slightly

Don't let bad reviews fool you. Alola is still a top 3 contender.

Finale does require some Indigo League knowledge but the wiki covers it.

Sun and Moon - Ultra Adventures:

Season 2 of Alola

Requires Sun and Moon

Sun and Moon - Ultra Legends:

Season 3 of Alola

Requires Sun and Moon and Ultra Adventures:

Easily one of the greatest seasons along with XYZ (also my personal favourite)

Journeys:

This was originally supposed to be the start of Galar but with Ash Ketchum leaving the show at the end of this arc, they changed it into a big 3 season memorial for Ash's journey so it became Season 1 of the Journeys arc

Requires basic knowledge of the whole season but nothing too much

It's the earliest available season on Netflix but is not a good starting point because of the content of the rest of the Journeys arc

Master Journeys:

Season 2 of Journeys

Requires a much larger and more intimate knowledge of the rest of the show from Indigo League to Journeys.

Ultimate Journeys:

Season 3 of Journeys

Literally requires complete knowledge of the series characters at the minimum

Or intense use of the wiki for all returning characters which is every other episode

To be a Pokémon Master:

Epilogue of Journeys and Ash's adventure as a whole

Requires knowledge of all of Ash's Pokémon

Horizons:

From here on out, consider this a new show.

All characters are new and all storylines are new

Also it's really good so don't avoid it because Ash isn't there. Give it a chance and you will love it.

[owls-den]

Trying to find a good name for the Pokemon Best Wishes zine rn (Interest Check incoming sooooon I'm in the big prep phase right now). Anyone got any ideas? 👀👀

I'm half tempted to go with one of the opening names such as Rival Destinies... But also maybe something surrounding Unova or the expression Best Wishes could be neat. I'm very head empty right now haha!

Pokémon BW Rival Destinies: Battle for the Bolt Badge (2012) Comic Storybook Scans

I've got a couple of scanned Pokemon books for today! Mainly because tumblr only allows 30 images per post, and if I combined both posts it'd be too long! Here is a link to the post about the second book!

Both books are from the Black & White anime era of Pokémon, titled BW Rival Destinies. They are “adapted” from episodes of the Black & White anime. By adapted, I mean they simply retell the story of the episodes with screenshots and a comic-like layout and style. 

The first book is titled “Battle for the Bolt Badge”, and retells the anime episode “Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!” This book and episode cover Ash’s gym battle with Elesa.

They have a three count Pokemon battle, and *spoilers* Ash wins in the end and gets his gym badge. But you probably already guessed that outcome.

Here’s some of my favorite parts of the book!

Elesa sends out Zebstrika, and Ash sends out Palpitoad. I’m crying over the way Palpitoad is just staring down the barrel of a flaming zebra gun three inches away from his face with a smile, unbothered, head completely empty.

Palpitoad just has so many great expressions. He's the star of this book for me.

What a goofy guy.

By this point Zebstika is eliminated and Elesa has sent out Emolga. Who, by the way, says “Emo, Emo!”

I know it’s common for Pokémon to use abbreviations of their own names in the anime, but this one is SO funny. Emo, Emo!

Emolga casts attract on Palpitoad and looks cute doing it.

Palpitoad gets knocked out, and Ash sends out…Snivy? Against an Emolga? Even Ash’s crew is confused at this move.

Snivy eventually falls, and Pikachu joins in as Ash’s last Pokemon. He takes down Emolga, and the final fight is Pikachu v. Tynamo.

Tynamo proceeds to beat the sh*t out of Pikachu.

Is it just me, or is Tynamo HUGE? I looked up their heights, and Tynamo is canonically eight inches tall, while Pikachu is one foot four inches.

It's so funny when creatures in games are portrayed bigger or smaller than they actually are. I understand it in a Pokémon game, given the limited framing of battles, but even in the game Tynamo is portrayed as quite small. Definitely smaller than a Pikachu.

Maybe this Tynamo is larger than most. Or maybe it's normal size and everything in the Pokémon universe, including people, are tiny. That'd be kind of funny considering the size of Tynamo in comparison to both Pikachu AND Ash in the above frames.

Anyways, I'm thinking too hard about this, I know it's not that deep. Lol.

Pikachu picks himself up and defeats Tynamo, earning Ash the Nimbasa badge.

The End!

。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°

Here is the link again to the second book!

"A kaua (war) indeed. Do Pokemon from other regions forget that Alola is the point where Ultra-beasts break through the barrier of space...? If we stopped, would others be willing to fight in this war against beings whose power rival the legends, against creatues who will tear many to pieces without a second thought... or would they turn to us and say,

'It is your job, why did you not stop them first?'

I work tirelessly so the Sun may afford to rest between battles and attend to traditional duties. He hates this. Naʻu mālamaʻole (I don't care). This is my duty, my destiny."

I learned today that Tumblr posts are limited to only 100 inline links. I also learned that if I keep doing this I will probably vomit blood.

I think what I'll do later is just dedicated mod posts for the AUs, though Mod Green will probably need 1 or 2 or 3 posts lol.

I've been skipping one / two-liners mostly. But if you really want to seek them, you can use the mod's personal tag to search for them.

My very legit Nintendo DSi Enhanced and totally existent physical cartridge with the game Pokémon White stopped chugging and crashing every 5 minutes just after I left Mistralton, so I guess the town was the issue. We continue on to POKEMON WHITE DAY 6. A lot of things happened today, so I'll put it all under a break.

Cheren and I went down into the bowels of Twist Mountain and witnessed a fascinating chunk of ice; of all the ice I've seen in my life, that was some of it! I could tell something was bothering Cher, but I didn't want to pry. Then Team Pokemon Rights Terrorism showed up when we were just leaving, which made things a little awkward, but we dispatched them quickly, and Ruby evolved into Emboar. Cher and I parted ways then, and then I got to Icirrus and went straight to the gym because it looked like it was about to rain.

Ruby and Jasper went wild on the baby bears and snowflakes, with the rest of my team watching enthusiastically -- Yuri going so far as to act as a cheerleader for them. It was really cute, especially when Jasper volunteered to once again solo the battle vs the leader (Brycen's Beartic threatened Ruby with Brine and Moxie is very convenient). She actually evolved mid-fight, as soon as she knocked out Cryogonal, and it was such a hype moment I jumped to celebrate, slipped on the ice and fell on my butt. Good times. Ow.

Cher and Bianca were arriving just as I was leaving, and by their looks I knew the conversation was going to be important. Cher shyly said, and I quote, "a lot of soul-searching has been done" since we'd first bumped into Champion Alder and had a heart to heart about how we wanted to live our lives (this happened a few days ago, I didn't mention it because it didn't seem important. But old people are awesome), and with a bit of encouragement from Bianca, quietly came out as trans. I was like "oh. Cool, me too. Can we get out of the rain now?", because it was pouring and we were soaking wet.

And we were going to, but then freelance ninjas hired by team Plasma ambushed us and said N was waiting for me at the Dragonspire Tower. A few emotions were running high at the moment, and Cher stomped ahead furious. Bianca looked at the verge of a panic attack, so I left her at the Pokemon Center with Professor Juniper Senior and ran after Cher, Brycen right after me.

The Tower was besieged with grunts. We beat some of them up and Ferb evolved in the process, finally making team EAGLES into the best version of themselves. But progress was slow and so Cher and Brycen stayed behind to stall them while I snuck my way up to the top, where something very large and very furious was throwing a tantrum. At the very top I found N talking to a LARGE FUCKOFF WYVERN-HORSE THING who is apparently Reshiram. N said something about wanting me to challenge him -- I have no idea what he wants from me, I'm just a guy. I think deep down he knows what he's doing is wrong and wants someone to stop him, and I just so happened to be there that one time in Accumula, so he picked me to be his rival. Which technically makes me Enemy of the Crown, huh.

Oh boy. I hope my mom is not in a dungeon somewhere.

Anyway, they left, then we gathered and left to the Pokecenter, and Alder conveniently showed up with another half of the legend that says a second Legendary, Zekrom, will respond to whoever gets a Dark Stone from Relic Castle. Knowing that this whole thing has been made my business by The King of Unova himself, I had no choice but to go. I bid farewell to the elders and the girls, flew back to Nimbasa and walked back to the Desert Resort to be absorbed by the shifting sands of the Relic Castle and fulfill my destiny, or whatever.

Team EAGLES, at last:

Ruby (Emboar F, lv 39)

Ferb (Archeops M, lv 39)

Lilo (Galvantula F, lv 39)

Yuri (Lilligant, lv 39)

Orion (Excadrill M, lv 39)

Jasper (Scrafty F, lv 39)

P.S.: I realize I don't have an active pokemon that can learn Surf. this is fine, Prince (my service Herdier) can aid me in that regard.
