Pokemon Y - The Poke' Ball Factory

I went north from Laverre City to reach the Poke' Ball Factory, where all Poke' Balls in Kalos were produced. I found Shauna and Trevor there, talking among themselves about whether someone would let them into the factory. Shauna rushed ahead, and Trevor ran after her. Serena and Tierno came soon after, confused as to why Shauna and Trevor had just rushed off like that.

We heard a scream, and Shauna and Trevor ran away to the city, with a Flare Grunt chasing after them! Tierno ran off to help them, and Serena was concerned about the presence of Team Flare there. I went to the factory, and snagged a Max Revive before I went inside to clear Team Flare out of the factory.

I quickly got spotted by a Flare Grunt, and she told me that they weren't doing tours today. Shauna came by to support me, and asked the Flare Grunt if she needed to work a job at the factory to pay for her ugly suit. The Flare Grunt wasn't amused, and Shauna fought her so I could go on and battle the other grunts.

I quickly got into a battle with a Flare Grunt, but Logan took them out quick and he grew to Level 47. I continued through on a conveyor belt, and got into a battle with another Flare Grunt, and through it Axel grew to Level 46. I continued my way through on the conveyor belts, and got into another battle with a Flare Grunt.

I healed my team, and continued on more conveyor belts. I snagged a Timer Ball at the end of one of the belts, then I made my way up some stairs to a hanging path above. I had to battle another Flare Grunt, then I found a small office on that hanging path where the few workers of the highly-automated factory. I got my team healed by one of them, and another told me how to reverse the path of the conveyor belt.

I flipped the switch, and made my way around the place to find another office. When I got there, I found the man who ran the factory being confronted by a trio of Team Flare members. The leader of the trio demanded the old man work for Team Flare, either helping them get the Poke' Balls to their gang or to contribute 5 MILLION Pokedollars to become a member.

The owner demanded to know what they were thinking, and told them he would never forgive any group that tries to take all the Poke' Balls for itself. The green-haired one told the leader to quit wasting her time, and she agreed and suggested that they BLOW UP THE FACTORY! I couldn't allow that, and I made my presence known.

The owner requested my help, and the Team Flare Admin mocked the man before she battled me. She sent out Scraggy, and I sent out Axel against it. Axel attacked with Thunderbolt for massive damage, then Scraggy countered with Scary Face to lower Axel's speed. I had Axel attack with Slam next, and it was enough to knock Scraggy out.

Houndoom was sent out next, and I sent Cadence out against it. Cadence hit it with Moonblast, and it did massive damage, then Houndoom countered with Feint for minor damage. Cadence attacked with Dazzling Gleam next, and it did great damage to knock out Houndoom and win the battle.

After the battle, the Flare Admin was mocked by the other Team Flare Scientists, and they said they would work together to bring me down. Serena came by after that, and helped me to fight against the scientists in a Double Battle!

The Team Flare Scientists, Celosia and Bryony, sent out Liepard and Manectric while I sent out Axel and Serena sent out Meowstic. Axel used Thunderbolt against Liepard, but Manectric took the attack thanks to it's ability and raised it's attack. Meowstic used Light Screen to defend, then Manectric used Thunder Fang against Meowstic for good damage, and Liepard used Taunt against Meowstic.

I switched Axel out for Jack, and Manectric used Bite against Jack for minor damage, then Liepard used Assurance against Jack for good damage, before Meowstic hit Manectric with Psychic for good damage. Jack used Smackdown against Manectric for great damage, then it countered with Thunder Fang for great damage against Jack, then Liepard used Assurance against Meowstic for massive damage which knocked it out.

Serena sent out Chesnaught, and I switched Jack out for Brody. Manectric used Thunder Fang against Brody but it did nothing, then Liepard used Assurance against Chesnaught for minor damage, before it countered with Seed Bomb for massive damage. Manectric used Bite against Brody next for minor damage, and Liepard used Taunt against Brody, then Brody used Strength to knock out Manectric before Chesnaught used Seed Bomb to knock out Liepard.

Through the battle Axel, Jack, Cadence, and Brody all grew to Level 47, while Gabriel grew to Level 48. After the battle, the Team Flare Admin told them that they had already stolen what they needed, and should call it a day. The trio left, and the owner thanked Serena and I for saving him and his employees. He offered to give me a Master Ball or a Big Nugget as thanks, and I chose the Master Ball as my reward. He also gave me the Big Nugget as well, and he gave both to Shauna as well.

I left the office and went to the other one to heal my team, then I made my way to the entrance to leave. I met up with Shauna, Trevor, and Tierno near the entrance, and Serena came by behind me to meet up with the others. She told them that Team Flare messed everything up, and that it wasn't a good time to explore the factory. It turned out that the others barely even heard of Team Flare before that moment, and Serena told them what they had done at the factory.

After she explained the situation, the three commented their disapproval at the actions of Team Flare, and Trevor thought it best not to get involved. Trevor and Tierno left, and Shauna commented on how awesome Serena and I were for beating Team Flare. Shauna left after that, leaving Serena and I. Serena thanked me for saving the factory, though she worried that if she kept relying on me like this that going on this journey would lose its meaning.

I left the factory and received a Holo Clip. I had received a message, an emergency broadcast telling everyone that the Poke' Ball Factory had been attacked, and said that while the perpetrators were unknown the sales of Poke' Balls was expected to be unaffected.

I headed back into Laverre City, proud of myself for stopping Team Flare, and glad to have been able to save the factory.
