Medic Plays A Real Pokemon Game for the First Time – Part 21 – Finale

Hop wants a fight, but I want to rest up and improve my team. After all, I’m still using the same team I used to beat Leon, and half my Pokemon needed a pick-me-up. But now I’ve healed up and switched a few Pokemon around, I’m happy to go. Time to head back to the Slumbering Weald, where Hop has been looking around, playing with his new Legendary buddy. So I head back to the Slumbering Weald and forget that Galarian Weezing hide in the grass around there. Luckily, to save walking through it all, Sonia is waiting for me,… [Continue Reading]

So I’m the champion now, and most people recognize me as such. But for reasons I can’t explain, there are these two dorks that are doing stupid shit with Dynamax, trying to prove some bullshit about the two Legendary Pokemon who helped on the Darkest Day. And it all starts when I go and see the grave of said Pokemon. I end up running into Hop, who has the sword relic, while I have my shield relic. We have a quick battle (which Hop loses) but are interrupted by Sonia and two assholes. Seriously, these guys are massive twunts. They… [Continue Reading]

It’s finally happening. I’m finally, finally going to face Leon. And blimey, the crowd is intense. This is going to be one hell of a fight. Especially since I have no idea what team Leon has built for me to fight against. I’m actually kinda nervous. After Leon spews out a powerful (but silent) speech about how amazing this challenge is, he finally starts the battle, summoning his first Pokemon, Aegislash. I do the same, summoning my Salazzle, Charm. Charm swiftly beats Aegislash after its second King’s Shield fails, succumbing to Flamethrower and dying in one hit. Leon’s next Pokemon… [Continue Reading]

Okay! It’s finally time! Time to challenge Leon, the Champion! We’re both out on the pitch, Leon is giving me a speech about how awesome this fight will be, and the hype is real! Chairman Rose is oddly missing in person, but don’t worry, he’s on the big screen with a message for us! Yep, Chairman Rose just kick-started the apocalypse. The Darkest Day is back, because Rose was worried that we’d run out of energy some time in the next thousand years. And as if on cue, massive plumes of Dynamax energy are exploding across Galar, the biggest coming… [Continue Reading]

I don’t know why, but it never occurred to me that maybe, just maybe, all the gym leaders would also want a go at challenging Leon the champion. After all, you have to fight an elite four before you face the champion in other Pokemon games, so of course we have something similar here. Well, I say that, I didn’t know the gym leaders were also the elite 4. I dunno, it’s weird. I’ve just beaten my rivals and now I’m fighting the gym leaders I already beat. Except this time, they are actually trying, and they also want a… [Continue Reading]

Leon’s been gone for way too long. To the point that even I’m worried about him. Sure, the guy gets lost occasionally, but his Charizard always seems to get him back on track. Plus, this is Wyndon and there’s only one massive 5* hotel here. So it’s pretty hard to get lost. Clearly, something is going on. And Hop understandably wants to find his big brother. However, we’re told to stay put. And being the good 10 year old kids we are, we completely ignore that request and rush off to find Leon. Who is apparently at a meeting with… [Continue Reading]

So here we are, at the magnificent city of Wyndon! Or at least, we would be, had the train not dumped us off at the bottom of a massive, snowy hill. There are hikers and business men scattered around, as well as some pretty high level Pokemon. To get to Wyndon proper, we have to climb this massive hill. Seriously, this walk is so weird. Mostly because I’m playing as a ten year old wearing a skirt. You know what makes matters worse though? There are a TON of people on this route for us to battle. And I’m not… [Continue Reading]

Okay! Dragon Gym time! I’ve always been a fan of dragon types but I actually don’t have many dragon types, aside from a noibat in a box somewhere. No, Toxel isn’t a dragon type. I’ve been a tad worried about this gym fight, mostly because I have no idea how many dragons I’ll have to fight, and I don’t have any strong ice Pokemon. I do have Snore, the Shiinotic I caught for the Dark Gym, who is a fairy type. However most dragons tend to breathe fire or have metal claws, and both are lethal to my little mushroom.… [Continue Reading]

I need fairy types. Like, right now. I don’t have a single one with me and I need some. Coming up next was the Dark Gym in Spikemuth, and I have pretty much nothing available to take the gym down. So I need to go and do some farming. And the first thing I do is go to Ballonlea, because that’s where the fairy gym is. I’m almost certainly going to find some fairy types there! Well, not really. I find some. But I also find a ton of psychic types, most notably Galarian Ponyta. Such a pretty pony. It… [Continue Reading]

So I’m off to the Ice Gym, where I hopefully will get my 6th badge. I’ve been leveling up my Pokemon, and now is the time to fight. I have a nice, round party of Pokemon who all have a super-effective move against Ice. Hopefully, I am ready to fight. However, before I attempt the gym, I want to mention Route 8, the route I took to get to Circhester. Whoever designed Route 8 is, in my humble opinion, an asshole. Seriously, how to people normally travel though this? Most of Route 8 is full of pits and holes, and… [Continue Reading]
