Pokemon Y - Anistar City and the Anistar Gym

Dendemille Town was green once more, the snow having melted after Team Flare's plans were stopped. The air was still cold though, every breath a fog as I made my way to Route 17 to ride a Mamoswine through the thick snow to reach Anistar City. I reached the end of the path, and received a Holo Clip from Serena. She challenged me to a battle in front of the Anistar Gym, and after that I made my way to Anistar City.

As I made my way to the city, I heard someone calling for me, and it turned out to be Sina. She told me that there was a person in Anistar City who knows about the Legendary Pokemon, and then she gave me Repeat Balls.

I headed to the Pokemon Center and received TM77 (Psych Up) and also found Mr. Bonding who gave me Exp Point Power Lv 1, which increases Exp Points gained from a battle. I explored the city and also received TM10 (Hidden Power) and bought some black cargo shorts from the Anistar Botique.

I found the old man that Sina told me about, and he knew I came to ask about the Lgendary Pokemon of the Kalos region, Yveltal. He said it happened 800 years ago, that Yveltal spread it's ominous wings, engulfing the Kalos region in darkness. He told me that at that moment, both people and Pokemon throughout the land began to fall one by one.

The old man continued, telling me that Yveltal let out a piercing cry and took to the sky to an unknown location. He told me that stories say that when Yveltal neards the end of its thousand-year life span, it absorbs the life force of living things around it in order to charge itself with energy.

He told me that another tale talks about the appearance of this Pokemon, a tale about the war 3,000 years prior. The story said that a terrible Pokemon came from nowhere and drained the life force of countless living beings. He wondered if maybe they were just using a Legendary Pokemon as ametaphor for war and pestilence.

The old man finished, telling me that it's said that after Yveltal finished storing the energy it had absorbed, that it transformed into a kind of cocoon and remains hiding deep in the mountains. The old man told me that everything he told me was from old stories, thinking only of them as tales.

I continued exploring the city, and I found that all the roofs were made of solar panels, meaning each of the houses were running off of renewable energy. I continued exploring, and found the major tourist attraction, a massive crystal sundial that modern science couldn't replicate. I took a photo there in front of the crystal sundial, and after that I left to head to the Anistar Gym.

I got to the Anistar Gym, and was immediately stopped by Serena who demanded a battle. I sent Cadence out against her Meowstic, and Mewostic did minor damage with Fake Out and stopped Cadence's attack. Next, it struck with Shadow Ball for good damage before Cadence countered with Dazzling Gleam for great damage. Meowstic used Shadow Ball once more for good damage, then Cadence countered with Moonblast for massive damage. Meowstic used Shadow Ball once more for good damage, then Cadence attacked with Dazzling Gleam once more to knock it out.

Vaporeon was sent out next, and I sent Axel out against it. Vaporeon used Quick Attack for minor damage and was hurt by Rocky Helmet, then Axel did massive damage with Thunder. Axel used Thunderbolt next, and Vaporeon was knocked out.

Serena sent out Chesnaught, and I sent Gabriel out against it. Gabriel attacked with Acrobatics, and it knocked Chesnaught out in a single blow. I sent Brody out next against Serena's next Pokemon, Absol, and Brody went underground to avoid Night Slash. After that, Brody struck with Dig for great damage, before Absol countered with Slash for good damage. Brody used Strength next, and it did great damage to knock out Absol.

Logan grew to Level 53, and with Absol down Serena was out of Pokemon. I won the battle, and Serena wondered why she couldn't bring out the best in her Pokemon. Serena lamented how I was always one step ahead of her, but she healed my team for me. Serena encouraged me to take on the Anistar Gym, and she left.

My team consisted of:

Cadence (Floette, Fairy, Lv. 52)
Axel (Pikachu, Electric, Lv. 52)
Gabriel (Talonflame, Fire/Flying, Lv. 52)
Brody (Diggersby, Normal/Ground, Lv. 52)
Jack (Greninja, Water/Dark, Lv. 52)
Logan (Venusaur, Grass/Poison, Lv. 53)

I went inside the Anistar Gym, and was warned of the powerful Psychic-Type Pokemon and the unusual maze I would need to go through to take on the Gym Leader. I stepped forward and the walls around me exploded, revealing an odd spherical space around me. The maze was one giant sphere, and I had to move around the place to reach the center of it.

I went onto a path of blue, and soon got into a battle with a Trainer, where Cadence, Brody, and Gabriel ALL grew to Level 53. I had to heal Cadence afterward, then I put Jack at the lead before I continued onward. I found a yellow panel and was teleported to a green pathway.

I continued on to another yellow panel and was teleported to another blue path, then I went through to find another yellow panel which teleported me to another green panel. I kept going and was teleported again, and after some time I got into another battle with a Trainer. Jack got knocked out, but Axel was able to finish the job, and he grew to Level 53.

I healed Jack, and then continued along until I found myself on a pink pathway. I continued on and got into another battle, where Jack grew to Level 53. I continued on and was teleported to a green path, and got into another battle with yet another Trainer. I kept moving and got onto a pink path once more.

Finally, I was at the center of the maze. The Gym Leader, Olympia, said little, electing to simply go right into battle. The first Pokemon she sent out was Sigilyph, and I sent Cadence out against it. Cadence attacked with Moonblast for great damage, then it used Light Screen to increase it's special defense. Cadence struck with Moonblast again for great damage, then Sigilyph countered with Psychic for good damage.

Cadence attacked with Dazzling Gleam next for good damage, but Sigilyph clung on to attack with Psychic again for good damage. Olympia used a Hyper Potion and restored Sigilyph's health, then Cadence struck with Moon Blast again.

I switched to Jack, and Sigilyph's Psychic attack did nothing to him. Jack used Thief for massive damage, and Sigilyph was knocked out. Slowking was sent out next, and I kept Jack out in the fight. Jack used Thief for massive damage, and it barely clung on to use Yawn. Olympia used a Hyper Potion again to heal Slowking, then Jack struck with Thief for massive damage once more before he fell asleep.

I used an Awakening to cure Jack of sleep, and Slowking struck with Power Gem for good damage. Jack used Smack Down to knock out Slowking, leaving just Meowstic left. I kept Jack in the fight, and Meowstic used Fake Out to stop Jack from attacking, but in the next turn Jack struck with Thief for massive damage, before Meowstic used Calm Mind to raise it's special attack and special defense.

The raised special defense did nothing to stop Jack from knocking it out with Thief, and so the battle was won!

I received the Psychic Badge, which would make Pokemon up to Level 90 obey my commands. Olympia also handed over TM04 (Calm Mind) which increases special attack and special defense. After that, Olympia teleported me to the entrance once more, and I left the Anistar Gym one step closer to becoming Champion of the Kalos Region.

When I left the gym, I heard someone around who had confidence in my ability to get the Psychic Badge. I saw it was Serena, and she thought about challenging me to a daily battle when we were finally done with our trip. She seemed eager to get into another battle, but before we could start, we both got a Holo Clip.

It was Lysandre, in a message to all Pokemon Trainers. He revealed that he was the leader of Team Flare, and said that they would revive the ultimate weapon, eliminate everyone who isn't in their group, and return the world to a "beautiful, natural state." Lysandre claimed that unproductive fools are consuming our future, and that if nothing changes that the world would become ugly and conflicts would raze the land from end to end.

He apologized to all who were not part of Team Flare, but said this was goodbye. The Holo Clip ended, and I realized that this guy could be almost as dangerous as Cyrus from Team Galactic, who wanted to remake the universe.

Serena was greatly disturbed, and suggested that we find Team Flare's headquarters. She wondered where Lysandre could be, then thought he could be in Lumiose City, where we first found him. I had little doubt he would be in his labs, and I knew I would have to stop his madness.

Current Team:

Cadence (Floette, Fairy, Lv. 53)
Axel (Pikachu, Electric, Lv. 53)
Gabriel (Talonflame, Fire/Flying, Lv. 53)
Brody (Diggersby, Normal/Ground, Lv. 53)
Jack (Greninja, Water/Dark, Lv. 53)
Logan (Venusaur, Grass/Poison, Lv. 53)
