Pokemon Pearl - Eterna City

I went back to Eterna Forest, fighting several Fisherman on the way and getting Maximus to Level 19. I went into the Old Chateu now that I can use Cut, and I almost immediately caught a Ghastly (Ghost/Poison, Female, Lv. 13) in the dining hall. I went into the kitchen and found an Antidote, then left the dining hall and made my way upstairs. I found a Dread Plate on the leftmost room, and headed down the other way. In the rightmost room, I found TM90 (Substitute) and pocketed it, then headed back to the upstairs part of the lobby.

I went into the left room upstairs, and found something called Old Gateau, apparently a medicine that heals all status problems of one Pokemon. I went into the right room upstairs, and there was nothing. I looked like that was all I could do in the Old Chateau and decided to head back to the city to heal my Pokemon, and go attack the Galactic Eternia Building.

Before I went to the Galactic Eternia Building, I read on Bulbapedia that there are more hidden items in the Old Chateau; for my efforts, I got myself an Insect Plate, Maximus grew to Level 20, and Maria grew to Level 19 there too. I couldn't find any other hidden items, I'm thinking maybe they come later? I went back to the city to heal my Pokemon, then went to the Galactic Eternia Building to fight Team Galactic.

I went inside the building after grabbing TM46 (Thief) from a side path nearby, and then I got into a double battle before the stairs to the second floor. They sent out a Zubat and a Wurmple, and I sent out Maximus and Annabelle. I took out the Zubat, and brought down Wurmple to yellow before switching out to Alexander and Maria, and they took out the Wurmple, Glameow, and Cascoon with ease.

The second floor was a computer lab, and one of the Grunts wanted to fight, so we had a battle. He sent out a Wurmple, and I sent out Alexander. A couple Karate Chops and a Rock Smash took down the Wurmple, and Alexander grew to Level 19, and he learned Seismic Toss in place of Low Kick. He sent out a Zubat next, and I sent out Annabelle to fight it. I was a bit worried that a Flying-type attack would do some damage, but Annabelle hit the Zubat with a Cut attack for critical damage, and knocked it out in one hit.

Another Grunt in the second floor computer lab wanted to fight, sending out Silcoon, and I sent out Alexander. A Karate Chop cut it to half health, and another brought it into the red, with Seismic Toss knocking it out. I took the $600 after the battle and continued on my way to the third floor. The few Grunts I talked to on this floor seem to think that they can use Pokemon as some kind of new energy source, though how that could be I don't even know. Some of these Grunts I've encountered thus far don't seem to really understand what their group is up to in the first place.

I encountered another Grunt who was happy to have someone come by to "donate" their Pokemon, and she sent out Wurmple. I gave the bitch the finger and sent out Annabelle, and one Cut did massive damage, then Razor Leaf finished the job. The Grunt sent out a Silcoon after, and I had Annabelle Cut it for great damage, then use Absorb to get a bit of health though it was ineffective. Annabelle used Razor Leaf to knock it out, and then went up against a Zubat. I had her strike at it with Cut and bring it down to the red, and a Bite from the Zubat made her flinch before another Cut could be used. I had Annabelle use Absorb and it was ineffective, but a Razor Leaf took it out and I came out of the battle victorious, and Annabelle grew to Level 20.

Just before the stairs to the fourth floor, I encountered a Scientist named Travon, and he wanted to fight. I sent out Maria, and he sent out a Kadabra. I had Maria use Mud Bomb and Kadabra used Confusion, which did quite a bit of damage to Maria. Maria used Water Pulse for a good bit of damage, and she got hit with another powerful Confusion attack. She got hit with another Confusion attack, being pushed into the red, but one more Water Pulse knocked out the Kadabra.

I went to the fourth floor, and I found the Bicycle Shop owner confronting a Team Galactic Commander. I went between them and talked to her, and she was itching for a fight. Her name was Commander Jupiter, and she sent out a Zubat to fight, while I sent out Alexander. Zubat used a Wing Attack and Alexander took great damage, with a countering Karate Chop doing little against it. I switched out for Maximus and Spark took it out. I switched out to Marcus when she sent out a Skuntank. Marcus's Intimidate ability cut it's Attack in half, and then he used Wing Attack, and it didn't do too much. I had Marcus use another Wing Attack, and then he got hit with a powerful Night Slash. I switched out for Lucius, and an Ember attack did some good damage, but the Skuntank seemed to have some VERY high defense, and I wondered how many of my Pokemon would need to fight this thing before it went down. Another Ember attack brought it to the yellow, and another Night Slash brought Lucius down to yellow too. The next attack from each of us both missed, and then I had Lucius use Stomp, and it was a critical hit that won the battle. Marcus grew to Level 21, and I got $600 for the battle.

Before Commander Jupiter left, she said that their investigation of the Statue nearby was finished, and that Commander Mars had gathered the energy they needed from the Valley Windworks. She said that her boss was studying Mythical Pokemon and was planning on using them to take over the Sinnoh Region. Jupiter left after that, and the Bicycle Shop owner thanked me for saving his Pokemon, and told me to come by the Bicycle Shop soon to repay me. I left the building, which was cleared out of Grunts and completely empty, and I went to heal my Pokemon before I headed to the shop for a new Bike.

The Bike in this game works differently than the previous game, this one can actually shift gears between speed and control, a combo of the old Mach and Aero bikes. It's going to be nice to get anywhere I need to without having to come back and switch models!

Maximus (Luxio, Electric, Lv. 20)
