Pokemon Pearl - Chasing the Galactic Grunt

I did some Berry gathering, then I checked out the Great Marsh to see if there were any worthwhile Pokemon, and after that I went back to the Seven Stars Restaurant to do some battling. When I was done with the Trainers there, Alexander and Maria grew to Level 29, and she learned Body Slam in place of Hidden Power. I also earned plenty of cash from all those diners.

I came back to Pastoria City after the battles, and went to check up on that Team Galactic asshole with the package. He didn't notice me as I came up, talking to himself about how he just got the package from Veilstone, and how he needed to bring it to the nearby lake at any cost. He turned around and finally noticed me there, and told me that his mission was too important to stick around and deal with me, and not to follow him.

I ran after the Grunt, finding him right by the path to Route 213, and he ran again. Before I could chase after him again, Simon ran into me and wanted to battle. I wish I could tell the little shit to 1) pay attention and stop fucking running into me, and 2) that there may be a bomb being delivered to the nearby lake! But of course he's too fucking stupid to listen to either point, and I had to battle him.

Simon sent out Starly, and I sent out Lucius. Lucius Stomped on Starly for great damage, and made it flinch. In the next turn, Starly used Quick Attack for minor damage, and Lucius countered with Ember to knock it out. Simon sent out Buizel next, and in turn I sent out Annabelle. Buizel used Quick Attack for minor damage, and then I had Annabelle use Razor Leaf to knock it out. Next up was Monferno, and I sent out Marcus, with his Intimidate cutting it's attack. Monferno used Mach Punch for minor damage, and then Aerial Ace did great damage against Monferno and brought it to the red. Marcus finished Monferno off with a Wing Attack, and then I sent out Lucius again against Simon's Roselia. I had Lucius start out with Fire Spin, but it missed, and then Lucius was poisoned by Roselia's Poison Sting. Lucius used Ember for great damage, then Roselia countered with Mega Drain for minimal damage. Lucius got hurt by poison, but finished Roselia off with another Ember.

After the battle, Simon realized just how strong I've become since our last battle, and wondered what that Galactic Grunt was panicking about, and told me to chase after him. Simon figured if you're not a Pokemon, and you run away like that, then you must be a bad guy. He ran down the path to Route 213, and I had to halt my chase to heal my Pokemon up (Thanks, Simon...).

I came across the Galactic Grunt again at the beach heading toward the hotel, saying how they needed the energy from the Valley Windworks to make whatever was in that package. It seems the package was made by his leader, something of such complexity that only a scientist could make it. He ran again after he noticed me, and I gave chase. I found him again at the hotel, and he wondered why he was running, talking about how this package would help make a new universe like his boss had planned. Again he ran, and again I chased after him.

Just past the hotel, within sight of the lakefront, he decided to battle me. The Galactic Grunt sent out Glameow, and I sent out Lucius to fight. Lucius used Take Down for great damage, and suffered minor damage in return, then he was hit by a couple Fury Swipes for some damage. Lucius finished off Glameow with Stomp, and thus won the battle.

After the battle, the Grunt told me that he didn't have the energy, he would have to give the package to the Commander instead. I switched around my Pokemon and then continued to the lakefront. When I got to the lakefront, I met up with Cynthia. She came to research the folklore about the lake, but found it closed to the public. It seems there's an island inside the lake, and within it is a mirage of a Pokemon. She suddenly brought up the group of Psyduck I had seen on the way to Pastoria City that were blocking the path on Route 210, and gave me a Secret Potion to give to them for their headaches.

There were two assholes stopping everyone from entering the lakefront, and since I couldn't do anything otherwise I went back to Pastoria City to heal my Pokemon, and grab more healing items. When I'm ready, I'll continue west through Route 212 to check out this Pokemon Mansion I've heard the citizens of Pastoria City talk about...
