Pokemon Black - Searching for the Seven Sages Part 2

It was Autumn when I went back to Nimbasa City to train, and I found a LOT more trainers in the Small Court with VERY strong Pokemon ready to battle. The Big Stadium field was closed to the public because of a game going on, but I got some training in at the Small Court, and Nora, Mason, Cole, and Zach all grew to Level 60.

After all that, I headed to the Desert Resort, and went straight to the ruins. I was about to head underground when I was stopped by Professor Juniper, who was leaving the ruins. She told me she had heard about the Pokemon statues that were surrounding the entrance, and came to look into their origins. Professor Juniper revealed to me that those statues were actually Pokemon, Darmanitan who were sleeping. She told me that these statue-like Pokemon have existed for around 2,500 years, and told me that they went to sleep that long ago. She wondered if perhaps they had guarded the city of ruins, when they weren't ruins.

Professor Juniper told me that a Rage Candy Bar can wake them up, and warned me that they would attack upon waking. She handed over a Rage Candy Bar, and I pocketed it before she went back to the Pokemon Research Lab. We bid each other farewell, and then I went underground.

I went through the maze-like tunnels, and in a wild Pokemon battle Arthur grew to Level 60. Finally I had reached the bottom of the tunnels, and found a doorway I could reach thanks to the sand dunes going so high. I went through it and down a hallway where I found a Plasma Grunt. They got scared and ran away, and I ran after them.

I  chased them down into another room, and they were forced to fight. I sent Madelyn out against his Krookodile, and she did massive damage which left the Pokemon deep in the red, before she was knocked out by a critical Outrage attack. I used a Revive to help her recover before Arthur was knocked out instantly by another Outrage. Madelyn struck it down for the win, and the massive experience boost made her grow to Level 60.

When the battle was over, the Plasma Grunt told me that Sage Ryoku was looking for a Pokemon inside Relic Castle, and told me that he was acting as the lookout so the Sage wouldn't be interrupted. I left the Plasma Grunt to go through a seemingly endless array of rooms, and eventually I found an end to it, with stairs leading further and further up until I found TM26 (Earthquake). I went back down the stairs, and headed back to where I started.

Eventually I found Sage Ryoku, who told me he was planning to catch the Pokemon called Volcarona that lives in the Relic Castle and present it to Ghetsis, but he had been told by the Shadow Triad that Ghetsis was gone. Ryoku told me that the Sages thought themselves complete when the seven of them were together, but now he didn't know the meaning of the word complete anymore.

Ryoku told me that he didn't mind, even if they were being used, but the dream was over. Ryoku gave me TM04 (Calm Mind) and told me that both Relic Castle and their own castle were crumbling, and said that the difference was that the Relic Castle were the remains of a civilization while their castle left nothing behind.

Looker came by to arrest Sage Ryoku, and he told the International Police Officer that they didn't know much about Ghetsis and Lord N, and revealed to him that they hadn't even figured out if the two were father and son. Looker thanked me for my help, and told me that there were 3 more of the Seven Sages remaining.

I decided to stop for now, especially when I learned that the Pokemon Sage Ryoku was after was an evolved form of the Pokemon I would hatch from the Egg I found on that island near my town. Tomorrow I will catch it for my collection and as a secondary Team when I'm done with Pokemon Black.

Current Team:

Cole (Emboar, Fire/Fighting, Lv. 60)
Nora (Seismitoad, Water/Ground, Lv. 60)
Mason (Zebstrika, Electric, Lv. 60)
Zach (Liepard, Dark, Lv. 60)
Arthur (Simisage, Grass, Lv. 60)
