Pokemon Black - Twist Mountain

I did more training in Nimbasa City, and through the battles Mason, Arthur, Zach, and Madelyn all grew to Level 40, while Cole and Nora both grew to Level 41. I decided that, before I would head to Twist Mountain, I should run a couple errands I've been needing to. I went to Nacrene City to get that Fossil restored, and so I got Tirtouga (Water/Rock, Male, Lv. 25). I also headed back to the island on Route 18 to get the egg from that Trainer.

Before I could even make it into the caverns of Twist Mountain, I got into a battle with a Hiker, and Mason grew to Level 41. I headed into the cave, and I found Cheren talking with Clay. Clay was surprised to see Cheren and I while he was inspecting the mountain, telling us that we seemed more rugged to him. I wasn't sure what he meant by that... Should I shave?

Clay asked us if we had seen Team Plasma lately, telling us that he and the other Gym Leaders met up to talk about Team Plasma. This group of powerful Trainers couldn't find Team Plasma anywhere, and were resigned to wait for them to make their move. Clay told us this wasn't our concern, telling me and Cheren that we should just enjoy traveling with our Pokemon.

Clay told us that Twist Mountain was a great place to explore, that we could have some fun if we just left the path. Clay told us that we should see it ourselves instead of listening to him talking, and he bid us farewell before he left, after giving us permission to train on 'his' mountain. Cheren thought Clay would involve us in all that Team Plasma business again, and he was bracing himself for a battle, but since Clay let us go on Cheren went on ahead.

I went through a doorway and found myself in a giant cavern where workers were apparently mining for resources. I snagged a Full Heal and a Revive before I went through a southern doorway. I got into a battle with a Hiker, then I caught a Cubchoo (Ice, Male, Lv. 28) before I went through doorway and got into a battle with an Ace Trainer. After the battle, Zach grew to Level 41, and I continued on.

I got into another battle which saw Arthur get knocked out as I made my way north through a long cavernous hallway. I had to revive Arthur after he was knocked out, and I healed him up before I got through a door into the central cavern once more. I got into another battle with a Worker, and after the battle Arthur grew to Level 41.

I headed north through another door and wandered a bit before I got into another battle with a Worker. After the battle Madelyn grew to Level 41, and I got to the end of the path to snag a Moon Stone before I grabbed a hidden Stardust and went down some stairs to the south and through another doorway to the second floor.

I found a small cavern with several piles of dirt, and when I went to inspect I was caught by surprise by a Worker hiding in one of the piles. I got into a battle, and afterward Cole grew to Level 42. I snagged a nearby Stardust, then I headed west through another doorway into the central chamber.

I grabbed a Max Potion, and also an Ether on the walkways, before I went through another doorway on the west side of the chamber. I went down one path in this winding cavern and grabbed a Nugget, then I got into a battle with another Worker before I snagged a PP Up and made my way east through another doorway.

 I battled and won against a Doctor, and Mason grew to Level 42. I won the battle, then the Doctor healed my team before I continued through another doorway to the north. I went through some caverns, then I battled another Hiker before I went through a doorway to the south and into more caverns. I went down stairs to get to the first floor, and got into yet another battle with a Black Belt. After the battle, Nora grew to Level 42, and I went south to get into yet another battle, this time with another Worker.

I made my way past the worker and found myself on the first floor of the central chamber. I went inside a hug where I found a couple desks and some bunk-beds, but nobody was about. I went past a couple Bulldozers and made my way into more caverns, where I spotted Cheren confronting a Plasma Grunt.

It appeared that Cheren beat the Grunt, and she complained that the only reason he was strong was because he controlled Pokemon. Cheren countered with the belief that if the Plasma Grunt wanted Pokemon to be free, she should start with her own. He told her that taking people's Pokemon by force wasn't right, that it wasn't real strength.

A second Plasma Grunt entered, looking for the first, and told her that they found the thing they were looking for, and that they should head to the tower. They told us that Team Plasma had obtained the power needed to change the world, and end people's control over Pokemon. They believed that they must use force to right the wrongs of the world, and they left to gather around N.

After they left, Cheren commented on their drive to gain power and cause trouble. Cheren told me he would stay for a while, pondering what the Champion asked him. Cheren had to figure out what he would do with his strength, and WHY he wanted to be strong to begin with.

I finally made my way out of the cave, and I encountered Cedric Juniper, asking me how Zach was. Cedric told me he could see that Zach was fond of me, and he told me that while the Pokedex is important, just as important is time spent having fun together. Cedric asked if I had heard of Dragonspiral Tower, and I told him no.

Cedric wasn't surprised that I hadn't heard of it, and he told me it was the oldest building in the Unova region. Cedric said that stories told of the Legendary Pokemon that came to life, or where they remain in deep slumber. Cedric himself only knew that it was just past Icirrus City, but that was all, that nobody else knew anything either. It turned out that no one (in modern times, anyway) had ever been inside Dragonspiral Tower, and that his daughter, Professor Juniper, had wanted to investigate the tower for a long time.

Cedric was excited to find out more about Dragonspiral Tower, the feeling of not knowing about something feeling like adventure to him. He told me he wasn't too old for adventuring, and so he left to look at the tower.

I had finally reached Icirrus City, and I got my team healed up at the Pokemon Center. Soon I would explore the city, and go for my next Badge!
