When we last left our honey of a heroine, she had just epically failed to level up her new Snivy and Oshawott, was out of Poke Balls and out of money to buy Poke Balls, and headed over to the one place left that could permanently alter her team makeup.

Doge get! BBC has been rescued from the PC!

I guess that makes her a retriever dog. Kappa

We got the doge, then got out of dodge. (A couple of tries back at the PC were attempted, but they came to nothing.)

We left the Pokemon Center without healing, then went to bang around town. Eventually we went back to the swamp, which then turned to trying to pass out in the swamp, which turned into grinding Oshawott in the swamp because MGN refused to die to Salandit Ivy.

By the time it actually did die, it had gained two levels and this is how our team looked.

For some reason Honey was spending a lot of time at the ruins. Maybe she wanted to see that boy Luke again?

Eventually Honey wandered back to Oceanview City and to the docks.

She set sail back to Serenity Island, where it rained cats and cods on her.

(To those not in the know, emote rains happen often during token donations.)

Honey met up with Blake at the docks, deciding to take him up on his offer to go sailing to the Haunted Isle to go mess with Team Fusion. What could go wrong?

Blake’s nice boat is wrecked, and being the stand-up guy that he is, he offers to stay behind and fix it while Honey goes and wrecks Team Fusion like an adult.

Let’s let this sink in for a moment.

Honey is out of Poke Balls. She has only four Pokemon in her party, only one of which is offensively powerful enough to do much damage – and that’s because it’s overleveled.

And now she and Blake are completely stranded on a haunted island infested with ghosts and Team Fusion, and quite frankly, I’m not sure which one is worse. And what’s the Elite Four member and his Darkrai doing? Staying behind to fix the damn ship.

Niiiiiice.

We checkpoint – but don’t heal – at the Pokemon Center. And then we head into the spoopy cave with out party looking like this:

Needless to say, we black out. Thanks to the checkpoint, we show back up at the Pokemon Center on the island and heal up, which is something that Honey’s four will do quite a bit before leaving this island. At least BBC has gained a level.

And then we leave the Pokemon Center, wander into the tall grass…

And meet the Spinda.

I promise you, the full effect of what happened cannot possibly be achieved without watching the linked video. With sound on. The soundtrack is essential, as the effect cannot be duplicated without it. Unless of course you have problems with screechy



It starts off ordinarily enough, but after MGN falls, Spinda… makes an Uproar.

To be continued…
