Before I went to Lake Acuity, I decided to have Marcus fly me over to Pastoria City to talk to the Move Relearner, who taught Annabelle Wood Hammer in place of Synthesis, and Lucius Megahorn in place of Fire Spin. Wood Hammer is a powerful physical Grass-Type move that has recoil, but takes advantage of Annabelle's focus on attack over special attack, and the Bug-Type Megahorn gives me an attack to counter Psychic-Types. With a couple powerful moves taught to my Pokemon, I headed back to Snowpoint City to check out Lake Acuity.
I found the Galactic Grunts near the entrance to the Acuity Lakefront, but they weren't blocking access anymore. I went through to the Lakefront, and found Simon fighting with a Galactic Commander. By the time I got there he lost to her, and was being taunted by her for his weakness. She wanted to get out of the cold and back to the Veilstone HQ, when she headed out and noticed me at the entrance.
It was Commander Jupiter, we had fought at the Eternia Galactic Building, and she told me that Team Galactic was going to do something huge "for everyone's sake." She told me to keep out of their way, and not to come whining about "poor Pokemon and other trivial junk like that." She warned me against coming to the Veilstone HQ, then left.
I went up to Simon, and he told me he couldn't do anything against Team Galactic. He told me the Pokemon, Uxie, was suffering, and promised me to get tougher for reasons bigger than winning or losing. He then left me alone, and I knew what I had to do.
I flew immediately to Veilstone City, and got ready for a fight. I grabbed several bottles of Fresh Water, and went to the Galactic HQ. I came across a Galactic Grunt admiring one of the large antenna dishes, before he noticed me. Apparently I had fought him before, and because he lost to me they took away his Clefairy, and his partner called it quits to return to his old country. He then said he didn't know anything about any Storage Key before running off.
I made my way into the Galactic HQ after picking up the Storage Key he left behind. I went in through the door at the right (of 3 doors) and found an area with teleporters, but I couldn't use them, so I left. The first and second doors led to the lobby area, and the big locked doors to the rest of the building needed a special key I didn't have. I decided to leave, and check the Galactic Warehouse nearby.
I went up the stairs into the Warehouse, and used the key to get through big locked doors, and the Storage Key broke inside the keyhole before the doors opened. I grabbed a Dusk Stone just past the doors, then headed down some stairs to a lower floor. I encountered a scientist who had been with Team Galactic for years, and a locked door. I went down a hallway and came across a Galactic Grunt itching for a fight.
The Grunt sent out Golbat, and I sent out Maria. Golbat used Mean Look to keep Maria trapped in battle, and then Maria used Body Slam for massive damage, putting Golbat in the red. Maria's Quick Claw activated, and she then used Water Pulse to knock it out and win the battle. I proceeded past the Grunt and found a Zinc in a side room, which I pocketed before continuing on, and it looked like the hallway I was in went underneath the main HQ.
I came across another Galactic Grunt, and we had a battle. He sent out Dustox, and I sent out Maria. Maria used Body Slam for great damage, then she got hit by Whirlwind and was switched out for Alexander. Alexander used Cross Chop for great damage, but Dustox stayed conscious in the red, and it failed to use Whilrwind again. Alexander then used Rock Smash and knocked it out, and he grew to Level 41. Next up was Bronzor, and I sent in Marcus to fight. Marcus' Intimidate cut Bronzor's attack, then he went in and used Close Combat for massive damage that put Bronzor in the red. Bronzor used Iron Defense to increase it's defense, then Marcus hit it with Take Down to knock it out and win the battle.
I continued up some stairs at the end of the hallway, and came across another Galactic Grunt, but he didn't even have any Pokemon to fight with. I went past him up some more stairs, and came across another Grunt, who had Pokemon ready to fight. I sent out Maria to battle her Glameow, and it's Assist failed before it was hit by Surf for massive damage which knocked it out and won the battle. Before I continued on, she told me that they made their way around the building with warp panels, wishing me luck in figuring them out.
I took the right warp panel, and TM49 (Snatch) was waiting for me in the second half of the room I first entered. I then went back and took the left warp panel, then went south to take the next warp panel, and then I found some stairs leading up. I came across another Grunt who wanted to fight, and I beat him easily enough with Maria, who grew to Level 40. I kept on exploring, and came across a scientist who wanted to fight. I fought him and beat him easily, with Lucius' new Megahorn attack coming in handy against his two Kadabras, and Lucius grew to Level 41.
I kept exploring, finding TM36 (Sludge Bomb) and finally a Galactic Key, to make my way into the Team Galactic HQ. I used the key to unlock the big doors from early on in the Warehouse, and I left to heal my Pokemon and prepare for my assault on the Galactic HQ!
