Taking on Team Flare

I walked in and talked to the waiter to see what I could find out.  Jerk told me to get out and challenged me to a battle.  This Grunt had a Scrafty, so I used Headbutt to make him flinch so I could use it once again, and the same thing happened again until he passed out.  After I beat him he was worried that I would find out the password to the hidden door in the cafe and he said it "open sesame".  This guy is a fool.  I then walked to the back of the cafe and found out today's special is SCRAM-ble (wonder what that is).  Oh well I was challenged by another Grunt.  She sent out a Liepard and I used Headbutt and made her flinch.  Then I used Slash to finish her out.  She tells me that there's a hidden door to Lysandre Labs.  Hey look, the cabinet behind her has a secret passage behind it.

This door entered Lysandre Labs.  And looks at that it is the man himself, Lysandre.  He then Challenged me and first sent out a Mienfoo.  I used Rock Smash on him and then was taken out with a High Jump Kick.  So I switched to Talonflame and used Peck to take him out.  His next move was sending out Gyarados, so then I sent out Raichu and used Thunder to take him out after I revived my Linoone.  Third up was Pyroar so I switched to Greninja and blasted him away with Water Pulse.  Finally we get to Murkrow, so I again brought my Raichu out and finished the battle with Thunderbolt.  After beating me he tells me that he had planned to save everyone but the world was just too vast and too full of fools.  So then the only way he could save the world was to take it all for himself.  I have to stop the ultimate weapon, but in order to do so I have to explore the lab.  So I need to find an elevator key in order to move on.

Well, it looks like the only way to go is to the left.  So I spun out of control and went up to run into a Grunt with a Swalot.  I used Headbutt twice than Slash to take her out.  Look like the only way to go is to step in the teleport.  This brings me in front of Aliana (the one from the power plant).  She takes me on with Mightyena so I used Headbutt two times and Slash to take her out.  Next up was Druddigon with a Headbutt and a Rock Smash I figured to change Pokemon, so I switched to Sligoo and used Dragon Pulse and took her out (just barely).  Dang she did not have a key, so useless of a person.  Which one to step on?  I chose the left and and went up.  Moving up some more I ran into a Grunt with a Swalot.  Two Headbutts and then Liepard was sent out.  This one only took one Headbutt to be taken out.  Let's see what is on the other side of this door.  It's those two people in them masks.  They are looking for that giant of a man that I saw outside of Lumiose City, seems like Team Flare is also trying to find him.  Oh, nice after buy a whole bunch of Revives they give me some.  Back out I spin to the right and then down.  Then I went through the door on the left and ran into another Grunt that was so nice that she just gave me TM12 Taunt.  There was also an item ball with Revive in it.  So heading back to the right I am challenged by a Grunt with a Liepard.  I had Linoone use Headbutt to take him out and then we moved onto Mightyena.  I was running low on Headbutt so I used Rock Smash and just about took him out.  One more Rock Smash took him out.  Heading to the right some more is another Grunt with Houndoom.  I used Rock smash on him twice to take him out and then he threw Toxicroak out at me.  I switched to Talonflame and used Peck to finish the battle.  I made the mistake of going down and ended up going back a ways.  After I made my way back I then continued on to the right.  After a lot of dizzying spins I finally stopped and became challenged by another Grunt with a Manectric.  I used Strength and ended up taking her out to bring out Scrafty.  I then used Rock Smash two times and Slash to take her out.

In the room north of the Grunt looks to be occupied by two people.  Sorry I did not mean to intrude, but I think it is time for another battle with you too.  How rude, I remember who they are, but they don't remember me.  I shall take out Celosia first with her Manectric.  One Strength to take her out.  Up next was Drapion, oh my what an ugly beast.  First thing I did was cure my Linoone of Paralysis and then tried Strength out to very much too luck.  I figured then after getting hit once and almost dyeing that I should switch to Talonflame and used Fly.  I only got him to about half way down with that so then I tried Flame Charge and didn't do much better.  One more Fly and I finished the fight.  Oh now Bryony challenged me (no time to rest up my Pokemon).  First up was Liepard, dang thing used Sucker Punch and took me out so then I took out Blaziken and used Sky Uppercut to show her who's boss.  I kept my Blaziken out, used revive on Linoone and finished the battle with Sky Uppercut.  Since beating them they tell me everything they know.  They have been using the energy to get everything prepared for activating the ultimate weapon.  And they need energy absorbed from Pokemon to power the device.  The stones on Route 10 are graves of Pokemon.  Now I have to go down one of those paths back out that door.  I took the left one and made my way around to a teleporter and found an item ball with Black Glasses.  Above is a Grunt with Mightyena after using Rock Smash two time he went down.  Next up was Toxicroak so I switched to Blaziken and finished the battle with Sky Uppercut.  In the teleporter and through the next door.

In there I found an item ball with a Rare Candy, yay.  Okay, so I was here already.  Now I must work my way back to over there.  Alright back to the area south of the door where I beat those two, I took the right path this time and entered a teleporter and got the item ball that I kept seeing, in it was a Hyper Potion.  Teleporting back I went down the left one and circled around back to the teleporter.  So then I went down the right one after that.  Running to the right (left is the entrance) I ran into another Grunt with a Golbat this time.  I used Strength and then Slash to take him out.  Stepping into this teleport leads me to another Grunt with a Toxicroak.  I switched to Blaziken and used Peck to take her out.  Next up was Liepard and one Sky Uppercut later the battle was finished.

I headed right towards the next door (can't go up and down circles back around).  In here I am challenged by Mable and up first was Houndoom.  I tried out Strength and ended up taking her out.  Up next was Weavile so then I switched to Talonflame and used Flame Charge to quickly finish the battle.  Nice she gives me the Elevator Key, it is about time.  So then I made my way towards the entrance and went into the elevator.

After a jog to the left I meet up with my pall Lysandre and some the Giant.  Sound like he has something to say.  This man is old, from the war it sounds.  His goal was to bring his beloved Pokemon back that was lost during the war and he did.  Since he could not forgive mankind he turned this machine that gave life into the ultimate weapon.  He ended the war.  The Pokemon that he brought back left him because it must have known that he took lives of many to bring it back.  He tells me to get the key back.  Lysandre headed towards his office.  So I headed back to the elevator and went down another level.

Now who is this new figure?  I guess I have to battle him and the decision of will be left on if I beat him or not.  Sound like a creep, wanting to do research on me.  Xerosic is his name and taking him out is my game.  First up was Crobat I used Strength and got him down to about half HP, so then I used Strength one more time to take him out.  Next up was Malamar, I tried out Strength on him and found it to do pretty good, but dang one of his moves was super effective on me.  So then I decided it may be safer to bring out Greninja, nope totally wrong, it is not a good idea to switch while he is using that move.  So I tried out Surf and a good thing that took him out.  Ok, so I must push one of the buttons, but I don't know which one is the one not to eliminate all of the humans.  I guess the blue button was the correct one, but this jerk said that he is still going to activate the ultimate weapon (I wonder why this is not capitalized, isn't it the name of the weapon?).

Oh man, that things looks very dangerous.  Hopefully they miscalculated and it doesn't work.  Oh no, the weapon is reborn (I guess it is supposed to just plop down and look dead).  Since this guy keeps mentioning Geosenge Town I shall Fly there and figure out what is what.


Join me next time as I try to take this thing out.

Day 20 Borderlands 2 Loot Hunt

Oh no not Saturn, I remember this guy was hard to take down in the first and the second play through.  Now I must take him out again.  Oh jeeze.  This guy can be found in the Arid Nexus-Badlands.  I remember the first time I went here and had this eerie feeling that I had been here before.  Then I remembered, this is the very first area of Borderlands.  Oh how great nostalgia is.  So to take him out I fast traveled to the Arid Nexus-Badlands and made my way to the other side of this area.  Taking out Skaggs and Junk Loaders on the way over to build up my stacks so hopefully it will be a quick battle.  Then I made it to the other side and here comes Saturn.  I took a few shots at him with my piston just waiting for him to get a little bit closer.  Then I took out my Creamer and laid waste to him.  I picked up my Morningstart and said see you later.

In this day the community goal is to lay waste to 40k Hyperion Snipers.  I believe there are a few up above Saturn so I travel around up there a bit.

By the way I still have yet to receive credit for day 1.  So annoying.

My Two Hours of Pokemon Today

So today I played for a whole two hours but did not progress at all.  Why you may ask, because all I did was run around in areas that I already ran around to run into wild Pokemon so I could catch some more and work on leveling up.  It was actually really sweet.  I used wonder trade and got two Tyrunt's, a Froakie and a Torchic.  I was going to try and trade them up for other starters or other Pokemon that would not be possible to start, but I was unable to search for them yet.  After running around for a while I started up some Super Training on my Sligoo, since I notice when battling with him that he was absorbing some attacks and it was raising its attack power.  After I finished doing a round of that and doing as much as I can with him I flew to the tree farm and started to pick all of my berries.  I showed the scientists some of the mutated berries and went to planting.  I made some Rich Mulch and some Boost Mulch and planted all of my berries that I had little of.

After all of this I flew to Lumiose City (North part) and ran to the Cafe.  I am now waiting outside of it and waiting to go inside to see what I can find out.

What will I find out tomorrow?  Make sure you come by to find out.

Day 19 of Borderlands 2 Loot Hunt

Um... Okay I do not remember this guy at all.  Today's target is Woundspike at Ardorton Station.  You will find him in Sir Hammerlock's DLC (which is probably why he does not seem familiar).  So I had to play on Normal Mode to take it out.  So I fast traveled to Ardorton Station and made my way towards the point where this thing awaits.  On the way I took out some Scillions, and some Savages just to build up my stacks.  Then I made it to this guy.  I think I remember when I first played this that I was wondering what in the hell it was cause I got freaked out.  I took it out with a few shots and started to take out the Borrocks.  I picked up my Twister and moved on.

Today's community goal is to take out 20K Torgue Thrashers.  This guy will have to be found in Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage.

Update:  Been back and forth with gearbox and once again they passed my request onto the engineers where they should fix it.  This time I did send a few more things including my email signed into shift, my stats page link what I was missing and my state.

Anistar City

So like all cities the most important thing is to try and find the Pokecenter first because you have to rest those very tired Pokemon of yours.  About ten stops into the city I get stopped very rudely.  She told me that there is a person here that knows about legendary Pokemon and she gave me some Repeat Balls.  Now I made it to the Pokecenter and gave my Pokemon a rest.  Over in his corner was Mr. Bonding with the Exp. Point Power, could be useful.  There is a hex maniac on the right side with the move Flamethrower for you.  If I come back tomorrow during a different time of day I will get another TM.  Looks like the guy on the right at the mart has TM's and the guy on the left hast the normal stuff.  The person in front of the center can read the memories of your Pokemon.  To the right of the clothing store is a hidden Super Repel.  In the house on the right I received the move Hidden Power.  I changed my look in the clothing store.  In the house just above here must be the expert on the Legendary Pokemon.  He talks about Yveltal, it spread its wings and made people and Pokemon fall before it left into an unknown location.  In the house right about here is a lonely old man who want one of your Pokemon level 5 or under, so I went back and gave him a Pikachu.  North of the Gym on the bridge is a hidden Pretty Wing.

Finally at the gym I run into Serena.  First up was Meowstic, so I tried extrasensory on it, but that was not very effective.  Next I tried Pound then I tried Water Pulse to take it out.  Second Pokemon up was Chesnaught so I sent out Blaziken and used Balze Kick.  Then we move onto Vaporean so I switched to Raichu and used Thunderbolt.  Third up was Absol so I brought Blaziken back out and used Sky Uppercut to finish the battle.  Nice she healed my Pokemon up after I beat her.

Now time for the Gym.  This one is a Psychic gym with Psychic type Pokemon.  Woh this gym is crazy.  After stepping on the rune on the floor the walls just disappeared and a path opened up forwards.  This is one giant sphere puzzle.  After running up, left and up I ran into Psychich Paschal with an Exeggutor.  Ok, I will use my Blaze Kick to take it out. Once I made it to the end there was a tile that was yellow, so I stepped onto this and was teleported to a green path where I must go right now.  I must go up to continue right and step into the next yellow tile.  Now I am on another blue path, walking towards the screen (which is a little bit more difficult) and walking down the left side I made it to another tile and another green path.  So this one is making it look like the spheres are getting smaller and smaller because I am now below the entrance of the Gym.  Stepping on the next tile brings me to another blue path.  Here I stayed all the way to the left and ran into Psychic Harry with Medicham.  I used my Sky Uppercut to be told it was not very effective (tell that to the near unconscious Medicahm).  I then took it out with Peck.  Now I made it to the bottom.  Left or right, which way to go?  Looks like left is a dead end, so I must go right to another tile.  Onto a very short green path onto another tile that leads to a magenta color we could say.  On this path I went up ran into Psychic Arthur with a Reuniclus.  Again my Sky Uppercut was not very effective (dang Psychic move just about take me out).  I used another one to take him out to move onto the tile.  Another green path, up north is nothing but Hex Maniac Arachna with a Jynx.  I used Flame Charge and bam she went down.  Back down and to the left we have Hex Maniac Melanie with a Gardevoir.  So I first used Flame Charge and then finished her off with Peck.  Stepping on the tile we make it to another magenta path.  Nothing to the right so going up we run into the Gym Leader.

Woh, she can float.  Well she is Gym Leader Olympia.  First Pokemon on the roaster was Sigilyph so I switched out to Raichu and used Thunderbolt to take her out.  I kept my Pikachu and once again used Thunderbolt to put her down.  Since it has been a while for my Linoone to see action I took him out.  I used Headbutt and took only about an eight of her HP.  So I next tried Rock Smash and did even worse.  Oh hey Reflect wore off so I tried Headbutt again and it worked much better this time.  One more time and dang, she used a Hyper Potion.  So I used Headbutt two more times to finish the battle or I would think if she didn't use another Hyper Potion.  Finally two more Headbutts and she went down.  Very nice I got the Psychic Badge, now Pokemon level 90 or below must obey me and I got the move Calm Mind.  After listening to her gibberish she finally transported me to the entrance.  Now what to do?

Oh hey it is Serena saying she will challenge me daily once I am completed, the neighborly thing to do.  And another Holoclip, this one is from Lysandre.  I knew it he is part of Team Flare.  They are going to revive the ultimate weapon to eliminate everyone who isn't in their group, and to return the world to a beautiful, natural state.  What a pretentious fool.  Now we must look for their lair.  Where should we start?  Maybe where we first met him in Lumiose city.  But wait, there are two members of Team Flare just to the right of the gym.  These two kind of reinforce where to go.  Lumiose City.

Before I end the day I must see what is on the other side of the bridge.  Woh, would you look at that.  Is that a giant stone?  How was this thing ever constructed?  Oh hey a hidden Sun Stone just to the right of it.  I don't get how this works as a Sun Dial.

Join me next time as I search in the dreaded Lumiose City for the cafe where I first met Lysandre.  What will I find there (after I finally find it), and what will become of Team Flare, or me?

Day 18 of Borderlands 2 Loot Hunt

Well shoot I was really hoping to do this one on Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode.  Well anyways, today's target is McNally from The Dust.  So all I did was fast traveled to The Dust and jumped into a vehicle.  I then drove over there and ran him over, jumped out and gunned him down.  (Kind of sounds like a bad mafia movie.)  I then picked up the Lady Fist and did it again to get another Lady Fist, just in case the first one was not good enough.

Today's community goal is to take out two million Loaders.  Should not be too hard since there are a lot of them in Ore Chasm, Friendship Goulag, and Opportunity just to name a few.

So no news on my Knuckledragger kill.  I am going to email them once again.  For the fourth time and see if this can get settled.

Braving The Storm on Route 17

Oh man would you look at Route 17.  This area is just a huge massive blizzard area isn't it?  So this is where that Mamoswine went that was by Frost Cavern?  Since there is a huge wall of snow and giant boulders blocking the path I had to jump onto this beast.  I bet my guy has to be freezing cold with no jacket or gloves on.  Oh, look like a wild Pokemon encounter in the deep snow.  We have a Delibird and I caught it.  You know the way the end of its tail is shaped that made me think it was a bag with stuff in it this whole time.

The first place I went was straight down.  I plowed my way through the big boulders and went of foot down a little path the the left to find and item ball with Calcium.  Oh hey, it is a Sneasel, dang it fainted.  Alright another one right away, and I caught it this time.  Then I went back up and right through those boulders.  On the left side I found a hidden Timer Ball, and an item ball with an Icicle Plate.  To the right is Sky Trainer Anila.  First up was Rotom (oh no a Flying-Electric type), I used Fly and just about took it out, then I used Steel Wing to finish the job.  Next up was Butterfree, on her I used Peck to finish the battle.  I looked it up while I was fighting for Rotom, the only place to find it is in the lost hotel in the garbage cans on Tuesday only.  Back on the Mamoswine I went back down and to the right.  The only way to go now is down.  Oh hey, a Snover and I caught it.  That was kind of a short ride.  After breaking through tree boulders on the bottom it is time to jump off and continue on foot.

This was by far the shortest blizzard area I have ever been too.  I remember Pearl and that place was not fun (because Hail is murder).  Oh hey a holo clip was received from Serena.  Something about her wanting to take me on in front of Anistar City's Gym.  Just above the tunnel I found a hidden Paralyze Heal and an item ball with a Rare Candy in it.

That was a short little jog (I was expecting a lot more).  If there are any Pokemon in there area that I missed let me know.
Join me next time as I enter Anistar City and I take on Serena (and win of course).  What else with the city have in store for me?  Maybe some cooler cloths, or some free items?  I guess we will just have to wait and see.
