Recap: Saga’s team hit level 100 and she defeated Corlett in his Sigil Hall, but not before discovering Loki was actually a good guy.

I used Rock Climb to get to this item and lo and behold, it is the replacement item for Rock Climb. Now Genevieve knows an HM move that isn’t necessary.

I’m just gonna tell you right now. Those of you advising me to train Fish and those who are advising me to get the Time Caller, I have unfortunate news for you. I hit both of those points in the game waaaaaay before you started to help me out… so just be prepared to see some major stupidity when we get to those points… If you remember, I always am ahead of the place the chapters show. My commentary is full of the thoughts I had when I was playing the game at the time. I do appreciate the help my readers try to give me, and sometimes I am able to use some of it, but for the most part, I’ve already gotten past it.

So, I apologize ahead of time for the dumb choices I made in the near future…

Back in the present, Fish is now in the party instead of Shawn and we use him to DIVE all over the place.

Saga doesn’t go DIVING often, as it turns her luscious blonde hair into brown and her clothes change.

Fish takes us to something called the Circle of Power. Team Asgard is here showing off by riding on Sharpedo instead of pseudo-Lapras.

I’m sensing an upcoming boss battle.

Uh-oh, Nurse Joy is here… that means there IS a boss battle…

Jake: My Swagsense led me here!

Jake is here! JUST the man I wanted to see!

I’m wondering if Jake and I are going to team up again against Asgard or if maybe Loki and I are gonna tag-team Jake?

Loki: Your what-sense?

Jake: Swagsense! This little old guy!

Pfft. Whatever. Everybody in this game has a damn legendary. Is it really that impressive?

Loki: It’s you… you and that slimebag, Saga. It’s the fault of the two of you that Team Asgard is disbanding!

Jake: Well jeez! Sorry!

Loki: Come here… watch… I’m sure the two of you know the myth of Divaevus… Arceus’ plates. The items that give him his elemental power. Before they came into their item forme, they were once alive. They helped Arceus about creating the universe. Divaeavus, the plate Odin was after, was once known as the Divine Plate, what made Arceus Normal-type. Odin managed to call forth Divaevus from the past into the Pokehadron Collider, and it somehow escaped the Collider. Odin caught it. Now, he’s looking for a powerful trainer, one to sacrifice, one to give Divaevus infinite strength. He believes this trainer is at the 5th Sigil Hall.

It’s gonna be Aria. If the first four Sigils are the Elite Four members, then the fifth one is the Champion. I knew something was going to wind up happening to her.

Loki: Because of this, he has no more need for us. I’m going to prove him wrong! Divaevus isn’t the only plate that can be brought back to life! The Circle of Power! It was once a gathering-place for dark and dangerous spirits. I believe that with my absolute willpower, I can call forth Maladeux, the Dread Plate, the Dark One, from the ancient past! I will reclaim my place next to Odin! I will use his awesome power to heal my brother! Now don’t distract me! I’m focusing!

We all stand around awkwardly in silence for a few moments as Loki slowly realizes his willpower sucks, as this Pokemon hasn’t appeared yet.

Jake: Are you-

Loki: SHUT UP, I’M CONCENTRATING!

We have another bout of silence. Loki, dude, just give it up. Obviously, you can’t summon him.

Jake: Look, you’re just not swaggy enough. It’s not your fault.

Loki: What are you-

Jake: Look! With my Swagsense’s swaggy power, I can win at anything I do! Watch!

Loki: No, that doesn’t make any-

Wh… wha…?!

JAKE summoned him?!

Jake: See! My Swagsense works yet again! I nicked a Master Ball from your boss, by the way. Check this out!

Woah… woah, hold on, what are you doing?! Jake! STOP!

WHAT IS HAPPENING

WHAT IS THIS SHIT

JAKE CAUGHT HIM

WHY DID YOU JUST S TAND THERE AND LET THIS HAPPEN

Jake: Well, it’s mine now! Come on out Swagadeux!

AND HE HAS A SHITTY NAME

LOKI YOU FUCKER

YOU COULD HAVE STOPPED THIS

Jake: Swagadeux! Use Tesseract on this non-swag!

Loki: No, please! I need to save my-

Loki then vanishes, leaving Saga by herself, her jaw firmly planted on the floor.

Jake: Aww, yeah! Saga, I hope you’re ready! It’s time for some swaggy swag action!

I don’t want to do this while Fish is in my party!

Screw the type disadvantage, Foxxy is a BEAST! He survived long enough for Charizard to kill himself by using Flare Blitz AND caused enough damage to him for that to even happen! He ended the battle in the red and still won!

Foxxy’s experience bar exploded after the fight, so he stuck around to try out Victini. This little legendary was stronger than Charizard, though, so Genevieve finished him off. Up next is Barret against Jake’s starter!

It’s a OHKO! Kingdra didn’t stand a chance!

Maladeux was not as scary as I was anticipating. Barret caused a lot of damage for him and then Yukio swept in to make the final blow.

I kept my Togekiss out in the fight against Scrafty and then stupidly asked him to begin with Ancient Power and Grass Knot (respectively). I didn’t post those screencaps, but you can see he is taking damage.

I know, I know, 50% of Yukio’s moveset is super-effective against this guy and I chose the two moves that aren’t…

If only Shawn were here, Aggron would go down a lot quicker. Unfortunately, he was replaced by Fish, because I assumed since we would be DIVING all over the place that there would be mainly Water-Types for me to face…

Zephyr knocked out Aggron and Jake paid us an insane amount of money for killing his swag yet again.

Jake: I’ll get better, Saga! You better watch out! TEAM YOLOSWAG, OUT!

Ugh… okay, that’s over with. Back to the matter at hand.

The next town is entirely submerged underwater. If you use DIVE on this little square, you can head up to a PokeCenter. I would have loved to switch out Fish at this point, but I need the damn thing to get to Morgan’s Sigil Hall.

Last time I fought her, she wasn’t a threat at all. Hopefully, the same thing happens this time.

Ah yes, the next Elite Four Fanboy dweeb is blocking the doorway to Morgan’s room.

Fanboy: You crushed their only dreams… to meet the Elite Four! It’s true, Morgan’s behind this door! It’s true if I beat you, I’ll get to challenge and meet my idol at last!

What, exactly, is preventing these kids from walking into the next room and saying ‘hi’? Obviously there isn’t another trainer in this vicinity that they need to defeat, so why not just waltz on ahead? Why wait for me to show up and determine whether or not you get to see your idol?

Fanboy: However, that’s not why I’m going to challenge you! I’m going to crush you for crushing Claire and Lillian, and ruining their dreams!

Who was Lillian? Was that the pervert? Kid, you really shouldn’t be hanging out with that dude.

Holy crap, for real? His name is Morgan Fanboy Freeman?!

This is the best kid ever. And he’s freaking invisible, which obviously means he’s a ninja. This kid is my favorite.

I took it easy on the little guy. Made the battle quick and painless so he could get on with his life.

Freeman: How could it be? I wanted to fight Morgan! But… agh! You’ll pay for this, I promise! Morgan will show you!

Don’t worry, kid! You’re destined for greatness!

Morgan didn’t have anything fun to say before battling. Nothing about the 5th Sigil Hall or anything. She probably knew she was about to get wrecked and just wanted to get it over with.

Foxxy Ice Beamed Swampert out of existence, but Mega Blastoise got all pissy and took him out in return.

With Yukio into the fray, we finally get back into the same pattern that took out Morgan the last time.

Grass Knot spamming.

Yukio stayed out for the majority of the fight, but Barret tagged in to level up to 114 after awhile.

Again, Morgan proved to be hardly a threat worth mentioning.

Alright, so we have our next destination: Mount Nova.

Morgan: Constance City lies at the top of Mount Nova, and Wilson’s Sigil Hall is there. I believe he can tell you how to get into Varlox Cave, the 5th Sigil Hall!

Ah-HAH! So there IS a 5th Sigil Hall! You guys didn’t fool me, I knew better!

Morgan: Well yeah. I thought everybody knew the 5th Sigil Hall was in Varlox Cave? Varlox Cave is right next to Zarivar, I believe. However, its interior seems inaccessible. I’ve tried going there myself. Apparently, Wilson knows how to get in. You’ll have to ask him to help you get there. I hope I helped, Saga! Thanks again for a great battle!

We’re almost there, you guys. Saga just has to battle her father before stopping Asgard from destroying the world.
