What happened at Serenity Island was not an accident. It was not the work of trolls either. It was a calculated effort on the part of the chat to deposit the entire party in hopes of catching wild starter Pokemon and pseudolegendaries.

And it worked flawlessly.

Before.

After.

Time to go catch a new party.

But first, time to heal up Sapping Turtle.

“Maybe you should’ve pushed them into the PC box if they’re not strong enough to battle. Like I did.”



…gosh, Honey, that was cold.

“What? At least they’ll be safe in there!”



She tried to go to the gym, but there was a really strange rock in the way of the door. Hmm, doesn’t look like a Strength boulder either.

So this is Fusion Resort. Surprisingly, Honey doesn’t try to talk to anyone inside the building on this trip. Actually, Honey spends an awful lot of time wandering around town, seemingly aimlessly.

Eventually, she heads back to the bridge over Turquoise Bay, and into battle.

It’s amazing how my Grotle is going to hand your Pidgeotto its own tail feathers. (Spoiler: it did.)

Forlorn Cape. See that patch of grass in the lower left corner? I think that’s where Honey’s gonna catch some stuff. Or some highly similar patch of grass; my Tunod geography is pretty learn-on-the-fly.

Not this Cottonee, though. It’s just on the way.

Not this, either… yet.

Definitely not this. (Clearly Tailow/Swellow is Tunod’s common regional birb as well as Hoenn’s.)

Chat decides they want this.

Two Poke Balls wasted trying.

Honey stops by the shop, buying three Poke Balls until she runs out of money.

Looks like Tailow isn’t the only birb in these woods. I guess Pidgeotto must’ve come from somewhere.

Before Honey can reach the patch of grass with the rare starters inside them, she hops a series of ledges and finds herself in Glenwood Town instead.

Wait… Glenwood Town? Wasn’t she just there? Didn’t we, like, start our journey heere or something?

And didn’t we just hop a series of ledges to get here? As in, one-way, intraversible, infamous-to-TPP ledges?

Uh-oh…

To be continued…
