I Sea...

It's been a while! I'm picking this up again so we can get the Ribbon Masters AGRO and ERAC into the game and get our gen 6 ribbons.

Team!

In this session:

We stormed into Lilycove city and ran around until we stumbled upon the Team Aqua hideout and a line of Wailmer. Aqua gunts were guarding the hideout but they noted something suspicious happening at Mt. Pyre. On our way to Mt. Pyre, we ran into a cute little thing and caught it. Welcome to the team, WhiteStripes, the Linoone.

Moon Unit did some solid work on the psychics as we charged up Mt. Pyre. On the way, we caught Ghost, the Duskull. As we approached the mountain top, Archie cackled manically and we destroyed Admin Matt at the summit with Moon Unit's Absorb. Got the red orb, acting as a strangely-young courier for such an ancient object.

Meanwhile, in Slateport, Team Aqua stole the sub. We didn't quite make it in time and had to chase them back to the base. After teleporting around in their base for a while we came upon the four mysterious pokeballs. Definitely electrode. Definitely tried to catch it, then it self-destructed. Fortunately I Mega-evolved Soggy Bottom so he survived. Our reward was the Master Ball! Team Aqua escapes again after we trounce Matt's Sharpedo... again.

We make a quick trip over the sea to Mossdeep city where Mega Soggy Bottom muddy water and Moon Unit Surf rocks Liza and Tate and the battle is over in just one turn. A giant beam of green light appears over the ocean. We go to investigate. On the way, we catch Pelican, the Peliper. Florence is kind enough to dive down to the bottom of the sea with the TM we just got, where we explore a bit and catch Turnitup, the Lanturn. After a few fun little strength puzzles, we find that Archie is about to awaken Kyogre. We watch as the behemoth rises... then flies/swims? away. We destroy Archie (including his Mega Sharpedo) with mostly Moon Unit's Absorb.

Trekking across the sea again, we find the hidden city of Sootopolis. Here, I'm told we will enter the Cave of Origin and battle Kyogre.

For the trees!

I run east and surf across the pond with the newfound HM. While surfing, we run into a cool dude, Creedence, the Tentacool. Sliding up the route a little more, Steven appears and sweeps me away to the Southern Island with Latios (What??). On the Island, we fend off Team Aqua and Latias just decides to join our party. Strange. Steven also decides we're cool and just hands us a Mega Bracelet. We get whisked away from the island and back to the route we were on.

The berry master is back, and I loot his berry farm for all it's worth and finally get some lum berries! I head north through the tall grass and remember that this is where you catch Feebas. I decide to try my luck and whip out the Good Rod. Magikarp. Welcome to the team, Phish.

I arrive in Fortreee City where I run across the tree house bridges and try to get to the gym. No dice. There is an invisible thing in the way. No one stops me from breezing through the city an going east though. Steven stops me again and shows me how to see the invisible chameleon things. It attacks! Now we have Karma, the chameleon on the team too. I run back to Fortree where Winota meets the wrath of Mega-evolved Soggy bottom's rock slide. She crumples.

On the way out, I decide to check out the safari zone. It's not that cool but I get a Pikachu! Welcome, Electric 6.

Two more gym badges

Team!

We spent much time grinding to find a water stone and evolved Moon unit to its final form. Led by the newly-evolved Moon unit, the team easily took Flannery down. After the epic fight, Soggy bottom became a Swampert!

We then went back to Petalburg to stomp my own father in another gym battle.
