Where we last left our honey of a heroine, she was headed towards an abandoned power plant to investigate some weird noises or something.

Hijinks are about to ensure.

Well, thanks for the warning. I take it one of those ‘friends’ was Mr. Randomly Paints IU On Abandoned Factory Walls.

Wait… no, no that’s not “IU.” That’s…

That’s FU. He’s writing big red “FU” all over the walls. Not only that, but judging from his range, apparently he’s managed to either scale the scenery, or crawl through holes in the floor and ceiling.

We’ve got Spider-Man doing rude graffiti in an abandoned factory. Not sure how I feel about this. What a waste of talents.

Not to mention that the emulator music has been running pretty slow. Did I mention that this place has Lavender Town’s music?

Quartz? Is that you, Quartz? Why is your music running so slowly, Quartz?

(Seriously, it starts out normal, but sometime around the 0:28-0:29 mark, it starts getting slower. This could be the same model of glitch Porygon that Quartz from TPP Brown was, or maybe some other model of Porygon that glitched differently, I’m not sure.)

While dev member M4_Used_Rollout was fixing the music problem, something special happened.

Future evolutions would not come so easily, and would mainly occur on Night Crew’s shift. If Quartz hadn’t shown up when it did, and M4_Used_Rollout hadn’t had to fix the problem, then who knows when Sap would’ve evolved?

Yes, Kelcyus, I expect a Quartz dex entry cameo for this.

Even with Sap’s evolution, we didn’t make it all the way through the Power Plant that time. So after a bunch of knocking about town, Honey went to the easiest grinding solution.

Yep, Bug Catcher Nick. Saint Nick, I call him.

Barbecue wanted to be just like Nick’s Metapod.

But it was not to bee. (Pun intentional.)

After a couple rounds of Nick grinding, we headed back to the Power Plant. More exploring, more wild Electric-types, more Quartzes. And of course, more grinding.

Poor Barbecue never did evolve, though. She made it all the way to level 10, even. She could have been a beautiful butterfly…

Eventually Honey opened the Pokedex to see if it had any tips.



Nope. No good advice here, besides “Your Pokemon stinks.”

Eventually Honey made it to the floor where the biggest disturbance was coming from:

There’s a guy wearing Brendan’s hat, and there’s our old enemy Cosplay Scarfed Pikachu, looking all glowwy and sparkly in his pretty red scarf.

“What? You mean that adorable little yellow rodent with a serious static problem on his scarf?”

“Isn’t that somewhat unsafe? I mean, there’s vandals running around this power plant. What if they messed up the turbines themselves?”

“No, you need to get out of here. I’m the heroine. Besides, I’m looking for the gym leader.”

There actually is a period at the end of this sentence. But this part of the scene went by so quickly on stream, I barely managed to stop the YouTube recording bot video fast enough to screencap the message this complete.

In other news… first Professor Willow, now Sparky. Pokemon GO confirmed!

“though…”



The answer was as simple as flipping a switch. Well, actually, as simple as walking across a room with holes in the floor and a bunch of obstacles, finding the right switch to flip (which of course was the one farthest away), and flipping it.

Which, for a Host, isn’t really that simple at all.

Don’t ask me what the other switches would’ve done. I don’t know, and Honey might be glad she doesn’t know. But with all the decay and vandalism going on inside that power plant, it’s probably lucky for Honey that the Voices knew which switches not to pull.

But it worked.

And then the Voices decided to pull another switch, just to see what it would do.

It was stuck.

Probably a good thing, given the Voices’ luck.

Honey tried to pull it again anyways.

And again.

And again.

Stubborn, isn’t she? When Honey makes up her mind, she sticks to it.

Meanwhile, all this time Scarfchu is standing in the middle of the room dancing back and forth like he needs to lift his leg. His tail’s whipping back and forth as well – here, watch him yourself.

Honey even walked right past him at one point, close enough to brush against him. I’m surprised he didn’t bite her.

Now, I’m about to draw your attention to something important that Hony does.

She stands here, about to speak to Sparky. Why is that important, you ask? It’s because of where she’s standing:

Over a hole in the floor.

Don’t believe me? Look at the evidence:

Sparky, however, doesn’t seem to notice. He just wants Honey to prove how strong she is.

“Wait, what? When did I kiclk you out of your home?”



“I’m a POKEMON! I live in the forest, dimwit! Your stupid parents were standing right over my burrow!”



…okay, that’s just a guess on my part.

“…lesson you’ll never forget!”



Spoiler: in Blazed Glazed, Scarfed Pikachu has stronger base stats than a Raichu. I don’t know if this is granted to it before or after this scene, but this is as good an in-game explanation as anything else, I guess.

He even has his own intro. Boss time!

Some epic music plays in the background. It’d seem a bit more epic if Edgelord here wasn’t making such a cute face and wearing a red scarf.

Honey tried to flee the battle, but she wasn’t able to. Edgechu spent that turn using Agility to get even faster.

Sap was out of energy for Razor Leaf, so he used Withdraw… after Pikachu used Quick Attack to hit him at normal strength anyway. Pikachu used Agility again, and Sap used Withdraw again.

Then Honey switched him out for BBC, making all of that moot.

Edgechu managed to drop BBC down to only 4 points of health with one Quick Attack. BBC realized two things: one, she was all out of energy for all her moves that would actually affect Edgechu (Tackle and Sand-Attack), and two, Pikachu could kill her before she could use Howl anyway.

So Honey switched Grotle back in. Which promptly got Quick Attacked down from 12 HP to 6 HP.

Despite chat wanting to use Absorb, the difficulty of Turbo Anarchy shattered our illusions of control, and Honey accidentally switched back to BBC anyway. (Edgechu only used Agility that turn. Taunting us, no doubt.)

So BBC did the only reasonable thing she could think of.

To be continued…
