I went into the Canalave Library after I got my Pokemon healed up, going to the top floor where I read all those legends, and I met up with Simon. He brought me over to a table where I found Dawn and Professor Rowan waiting for me, apparently with something important to talk about. Simon then went to leave, but Rowan just glared at him and he came back to sit with us. I gotta ask Rowan how he did that, so I can get Simon to quit running the fuck around everywhere.
Professor Rowan reminded me that he studies the evolution of Pokemon, and that the more he studies, the more mysteries appear, and even multiply. He still had no idea what made evolving and non-evolving Pokemon different from each other. He wondered if those that are immature as living beings evolve to mature beings, and if so what to make of the Legendary Pokemon that don't evolve. He pondered if Legendary Pokemon are complete as creatures.
Apparently this is where Dawn, Simon and I came in. In the three lakes of Sinnoh, there are said to be mirage Pokemon, and Rowan wanted us to obtain data on them to possibly shed light on how the process of Pokemon evolution works. He said he needed help from each of us to do this, and asked us to help him find these Pokemon considered nothing but mirages. It was then that Simon said that he didn't get a Pokedex, to which Rowan replied that it was Simon's own fault for bolting from the lab before he had a chance to hand him one. I had to wonder why Simon was such a fucking idiot, and why he was always rushing everywhere without listening to people or taking in the situations he found himself in.
Professor Rowan said it was water under the bridge, that seeing Pokemon with your own eyes is important to becoming a better Trainer too. Dawn promised to help Rowan, knowing it would help with her Pokedex too, and I promised to help as well. Rowan revealed that he would have made us all go regardless, before continuing with the plan. As there are three lakes and three of us, each of us would go to a lake to get information on one mirage Pokemon each. Dawn was told to go to Lake Verity, Simon was to go investigate Lake Acuity (which would take him through treacherous roads), and I would head to Lake Valor.
Suddenly there was a short earthquake, and we all left the building to find out what was happening. When I got outside with the others, Rowan said the tremor wasn't a natural occurrence. A sailor came up to us, telling us that something big had just happened, that there was a huge explosion at Lake Valor! Simon told Rowan that he was going to the lake, that he had a bad feeling about this, before running off. Professor Rowan complained about Simon not being able to sit still, then told me he was worried about Lake Valor too, and told me to go find out what was happening. He warned me not to get in over my head, and told me he'd try to join me as soon as he and Dawn inspected Lake Verity.
Dawn worried about me, but my Pokemon are strong and so am I. I had Marcus fly me to Pastoria City, and quickly grabbed a few berries before I traveled through Route 213 and Hotel Grand Lake to make it to Lake Valor. When I got there, I found a Galactic Grunt who was gloating about getting to Lake Verity, and how they'd roll right through nearby Twinleaf Town, my character's hometown, to do the same thing.
I went through the crater, finding a few poor Magikarp flopping weakly about, and then I came across another Grunt. Seeing the destruction of the lakefront, I was pissed, and the grunt dared to threaten me to join the Magikarp flopping about. I gave this cunt the finger and sent out Annabelle, while she sent out Glameow. Glameow used Charm to lower Annabelle's attack, then she countered with Earthquake to do massive damage. Glamoew used Assist next, then used Sucker Punch for minor damage, then Annabelle took it out with Cut. Next up was Croagunk, it used a Sucker Punch for minor damage, and then Annabelle used Earthquake for massive damage, and it was knocked out in one blow. The battle was won, and the Grunt told me they already found the sunken island under the lake, and the Pokemon within.
I came across another Galactic Grunt, gloating about having set off the "Galactic Bomb" before fighting me. I sent out Annabelle again, and he sent out Golbat. Golbat used Wing Attack for great damage, and countered with Cut for great damage. Golbat used Bite for minor damage, and then Annabelle used Mega Drain for minor damage. I switched out to Maximus, and he got hit by Air Cutter for minor damage. Maximus used Spark for a super effective knock out, and then Croagunk was sent out while I switched to Marcus. Marcus' Intimidate cut Croagunk's attack, and then he got hit by Sucker Punch for minor damage before using Close Combat for massive damage. Marcus went high while Croagunk used Nasty Plot to up it's special attack, and then it got hit by Fly for the win.
I came across another Galactic asshole, putting him down fairly easily with my powerful team, and Maximus grew to Level 38. I found the entrance to a cave, and a nearby Grunt thought I was one of the idiots they fooled into guarding the entrance, then he told me it doesn't matter who I am, that it was too late to make any difference. He said things were going to get interesting now, that all the legendary Pokemon are going to be brought to the Veilstone HQ.
I went into the cave, and came across Commander Saturn. He said how things were going according to plan, and when he noticed me he told me that any sort of defiance would not be tolerated, and then challenged me to a battle. I sent out Annabelle, and he sent out Kadabra. Kadabra used embargo to stop Annabelle's item usage, then she countered with earthquake for massive damage and the knock out. Annabelle grew to Level 38, then I switched to Lucius to fight his Bronzor. Lucius used Fire Blast for massive, super effective damage that took it out in one shot. Next up was Toxicroak, and I kept Lucius in the fight. Lucius tried using Fire Blast but it missed, then he got hit by Revenge for great damage. Lucius tried again, and landed a Fire Blast on Toxicroak for massive damage, but it regained health with a Sitrus Berry, and hit Lucius with Revenge for the knock out. I switched to Maria, and she used Water Pulse for good damage, then she got hit by Revenge for great damage. Toxicroak missed with Mud Bomb, then Maria hit it with Surf to knock it out and win the battle.
After the battle, he was ashamed that a Commander like himself could only buy them time, but told me that I would never be able to stem the flow of time. He told me that Team Galactic would get the three Legendary Pokemon, and that with all three they would create an entirely new universe. He said Mars should have already caught the Pokemon of Lake Verity, and then left.
I had Marcus fly me to Twinleaf Town, where I healed my Pokemon at my home, then I ran over to Lake Verity. I found Professor Rowan there at the lake with several Galactic Grunts. He told me what I already knew, that the Grunts were after the Legendary Pokemon. He then said that Dawn needed help, and I went onward to fight a couple Grunts. I took them out fairly easily, and Maria grew to Level 38. I went onward and found another couple Grunts to fight, taking them out easily as well.
I found Dawn fighting with another Galactic asshole, Commander Mars. I had beaten her before at the Valley Windworks, and she remembered me for it. She apparently got in trouble for losing against me there, and wanted revenge. She sent out Golbat, and I sent out Annabelle. Golbat used Supersonic to confuse Annabelle, but she was able to use Cut for good damage. Golbat used Air Cutter for great damage, and Annabelle countered with Mega Drain for minor damage. I switched over to Maximus, and he got hit by Toxic for increasing Poison damage. Golbat used Supersonic, but missed, then got hit by Spark for massive damage, and it was knocked out. Maximus got hurt by Poison, then I switched to Alexander to fight her Bronzor. Bronzor used Extrasensory for great damage, a critical hit, then Alexander countered with Revenge for massive damage that knocked it out. Finally she sent out Purugly, and I sent out Annabelle again. Annabelle got hit by Faint Attack for good damage, but then hit Purugly with Leech Seed which regained her some health. Purugly used Slash for good damage, and then Annabelle countered with Earthquake for massive damage, before Purugly used a Sitrus berry to heal, and then Leech Seed brought Annabelle some health. Purugly used Slash for good damage, then Annabelle used Mega Drain for good damage and some healing, and then Leech Seed knocked out Purugly and the battle was won.
Commander Mars wasn't happy about losing again, saying she owed me for the Windworks AND Lake Verity, and that this shouldn't be happening to Team Galactic's Commander. However, she revealed that her part was already done, the Lake Verity Pokemon was already sent to the Galactic HQ, and I had failed to stop them. Apparently the cave had appeared here after the explosion, with the Lake Verity Pokemon coming out probably to help it's friends, which made it easy to catch. They caught Mesprit, the "Being of Emotion," Azelf, the "Being of Willpower," and Uxie, the "Being of Intelligence."
After they left, I talked with Rowan and Dawn. Rowan was disappointed that all three were taken, but impressed that both Dawn and I went up against full-fledged criminals, and happy that neither of us was hurt. He then wondered about Lake Acuity, and if Simon was safe. I wondered too, knowing how headstrong he is, rushing off without thinking. I headed home to heal my Pokemon, knowing I had a long journey ahead of me to get to Lake Acuity way up north.
