Challenge Pokemon Violet Monotype Run (Psychic)

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Adige is-a-here!

Hello! My name is Adige, and I've just applied for the Uva Academy, a Paldean academy specialized in eating grapes!

This is my first day to school, and I'm super excited! I can't wait to eat a ton of grapes!

I was a little surprised to see us having such neat uniforms. I never wear one of these to diners!

Ugh! I can't wait for any longer! I hope they bring us some great appetizers though!

Suddenly someone barged into our house!

This old man is actually Director Clavell from the Uva Academy! He doesn't really look like a director of the greatest eating academy of the world though, that's why I didn't recognize hime.

Mom sent me back upstairs, while she had a chat with the Director! I guess they must be talking about lunch!

I immediately put on my hat and took my schoolbag! Nothing will-a-stop me from going to the Uva Academy!

I heard they hold eating battles in the Uva Academy too! Can't wait to beat everyone in those!

I thought this is the perfect place for the wonderful appetizers the Director brought?

Wait ... three Pokemon? These are the lamest housewarming gifts I've ever seen!

Why doesn't the Director just bring me to the Uva Academy? And what decision am I making here? I'm so confused!

I need to choose one from these three? Can I just not take any of them?

Um, sorry there. I do not even know these three Pokemon.

Food Buddies

Hmm... can I choose the orange there? I prefer it unburnt though!

Oh I'm so sorry! This person here, Nemona, is actually also enrolled in the Uva Academy! We're going to be classmates!

She's from the student council and Champion-ranked? She must know a lot about food!

Did she just challenge me to a food battle? This is gonna be so great!

Can we skip this pick-a-Pokemon nonsense? I am getting really hungry now!

Fine. This crocodile looks like it loves food too, so I'm picking this one!

Fuecoco and I will be the best food buddies!

In fact, Fuecoco looks like he wants to eat dinner already, so I'm calling him that!

I'm so ready for the food battle!

Wait, why are we sending our Pokemon?

Oh, she's talking about Pokemon battles? Crap!

I don't really know much about Pokemon battles! I wasn't ready for this!

Ouch! DINNER keeps getting hurt! That's gotta be bad, right?

DINNER, you need to fight for yourself. I can't help you much here.

I hope we're doing the right thing here. Leering that grass cat should scare him off!

Do we really need to hurt each other's Pokemon like that?

Oh, and you are throwing leaves at me now? I don't eat leaves!

*A FEW MOMENTS LATER*

Grass cat finally died! I guess that should settle it!

Honestly, I don't think I did a great job there. Maybe Nemona isn't that good at Pokemon battles either.

No fuking way.

Don't worry about me or DINNER. But please don't battle me again.

So, Nemona's "battles" are referring to Pokemon battles? I think we made a wrong friend here.

Um... I'm not sure if I ever want to catch wild Pokemon. Handling DINNER seems tough enough.

Lunch Time Gone Wrong

Mom is here! At least my mother doesn't talk about Pokemon battles all the time!

And Mom knows exactly what I want too! Some food to eat before we go!

Oh yes! Mom's sandwich is the perfect meal before we head off to school!

Can't wait to chow down the whole sandwich~

What in the fuk, Director! I can't even have my sandwich?

I don't know about this, Nemona. Pokemon battles sound really tiring to me!

*gasp* This looks like the perfect ingredient for my next sandwich!

A Lechonk? You are going into our next sandwich~

The best way to prepare pork is to burn it with some Ember!

Wait! We just killed that Lechonk, and we can't pick up its meat!

Our afternoon tea is gone, noooooooo~

I guess helping Fuecoco grow wouldn't be bad if Pokemon are going to jump at us randomly!

So, if we see something that would be perfect as our next meal, we should weaken it first!

Sorry, I don't eat spiders or yarn balls.

DINNER is getting stronger and stronger! That should be helpful for finding more food!

Sorry, I don't like raspberries either! Just burn it, DINNER!

Ok, I'm not that hungry. This is clearly not edible.

More bugs? Burn'em!

Well, actually I haven't practiced on catching Pokemon.

We heard something made a loud cry. I guess we should go investigate?

Huh, I don't see anything there. Oh wait, I think I slipped -

MAMMA MIA! I THOUGHT I'M GOING TO DIE!

Phew! My phone saved me, and I wasn't hurt at all!

This purple lizard must've been the one making the cry! And it doesn't like look alright!

Maybe we can give this Pokemon a hand?

I don't know much about Pokemon battles, but a Revive seems perfect for this situation. It still wasn't enough to revive this mysterious Pokemon though!

And regular potions didn't work either! This Pokemon must've been really hurt!

Well, we can't put it into our Poke Ball, if it isn't up for a fight.

When I'm down, I usually eat some berries. But I guess purple lizard doesn't like those.

Well, I'm running out of ideas.

Oh, there's no way I'm giving it my sandwich -

The purple lizard woke up when it heard me say "sandwich"!

NOOOOOOOO! MY LUNCH! THAT WASN'T FOR YOU, YOU JERK!

What on earth even is this thing? It stole my sandwich and transformed?

The sandwich lizard went into a dark cave!

The cave doesn't look like a safe place, but I'm 100% following this sandwich thief!

Wait, slow down! We gotta talk!

Oh no, it's getting darker and darker! We should be heading home!

Uh-oh! We were getting attacked by some wild dogs!

And one of them looks extremely pissed!

We are DOOMED! I don't think we should make this dog angry!

One Crunch and we're gone. Oops. Maybe we should've left the sandwich for this thing instead.

Sandwich thief! Please save me! Don't run away!

I'm getting cornered! At this point I'll be their dinner!

YES! Sandwich thief saved me and brought me to Nemona!

But it lost all the energy it gained and collapsed once again!

Mysterious Power

I don't know, Nemona. I don't think the sandwich had been poisoned.

I can confirm that though! This Pokemon was crying out loud down there!

Nemona wants me to go to the lighthouse there, but I noticed someone by the window!

And he's quite the rude person too!

Arven must've been one of our classmates too, if he's wearing the same uniform!

Arven knows a lot about the sandwich thief, or Miraidon as its formal name.

If Arven is also in the Uva Academy, he must be really into eating as well! I can make friends with him then, even though he's so rude to me!

Oh come on! Why does everyone here love Pokemon battles?

Arven has a squirrel! If I know anything about squirrels, it's that they are hungry and steal food from me all the time!

We are cooking that squirrel up!

See, I told you! Skwovet wants to eat DINNER for good!

Luckily for us, this battle went a lot quicker than the last one!

Now Arven definitely sounds like he doesn't know a lot about Pokemon battles. Maybe we really can be friends.

Arven trusted me and gave me Miraidon's Poke Ball! I guess Miradion is now my Pokemon? How does this work?

I guess we will see Arven again when we finally reach our school!

At the top of the lighthouse, we got to see our school! Not sure why they didn't pick grapes as their logo though!

Honestly, I'm most worried about homework and assignments! Like, do we need to prepare the food?

Paldea is indeed a beautiful place! I'm glad I get to study here!

Oh ... I don't really like walking that much. Can we get some forms of fast transport?

*nibble nibble* I think we can add that to our next meal.

The red center thing is so far away! We need to find more berries to eat!

We find more berries to eat! But I'm not quite poisoned or confused!

I will never say "Hey, let's battle!" to anyone.

Oh! We found a new Pokemon! This one doesn't look edible though.

The wild Ralts caught on DINNER's fire and started blazing!

Ralts seems to be an adorable Pokemon, but I don't plan on catching anything that I cannot eat.

What? A Poke Ball just flew from my bag and hit the wild Ralts!

Huh? I guess I just caught the wild Ralts? I swear I didn't do it!

I hope Ralts senses my hunger and how angry I get if we do not reach school in time!

I guess Farfalle is now part of our team? I don't know much about this Pokemon!

Farfalle is a strong boy! He got some Huge Power!

I don't know how to control Farfalle in battles! What moves should I use?

Well, Farfalle seems to be a battle genius! He keeps landing strong hits on the wild Pokemon we found!

Farfalle killed the Azurill! He must be getting hungry after all those hard work!

Farfalle found a wild Wooper and weakened it just enough!

I guess we should try catching this Pokemon too?

No, Farfalle! You shouldn't attack it while it was already weakened! I guess we're not guessing Wooper!

I HATE POKEMON BATTLES

Now that we got two Pokemon on our team, maybe we can do Pokemon battles more easily?

Oh, it's just another Tarountula. We fought many of these Pokemon before!

I trust that Farfalle can handle this bug himself, 'cause I don't really know much better!

OUCH! This spider bit so hard! It must've been really hungry too!

Come on, Farfalle! You can't die to this yarn spider!

Farfalle was wrapped by spider threads! What a way to ruin our appetite!

Things aren't looking great! Farfalle was low in health!

NO! YOU JUST KILLED MY POKEMON!

Ok, DINNER, you get to pick up your game!

Yarnball spider keeps biting DINNER!

DINNER! You need to do something better than that!

Tarountula keeps landing big hits on DINNER! We're in trouble!

Another critical hit? This is rigged!

We lost DINNER too! What the heck should we do!

MAMMA MIA!

I SWEAR TO LORD I DON'T LIKE POKEMON BATTLES!

Why are Pokemon battles so tiring? Why do people like Pokemon battles so much?

I'm so disappointed in DINNER. I think it's time to say goodbye to him. I give up.

Hm? For some reasons, I can't release Farfalle!

Moving On

I guess we have to stick with Farfalle here, so let's battle more just so he can grow up faster.

We finally reached the red building, and Nemona is already waiting for me! I hope she isn't going to battle me again!

We can buy items at this place! Too bad they don't sell sandwich ingredients!

Hm, I don't see Lechonk meat here though, Nemona! I thought you're the student council for the eating academy!

We can connect with other trainers for a big picnic? Count me in!

I can send out my Pokemon to do work for me! I hope they find some food for me, I'm starving!

We can even ask the Pokemon Center lady for some tips! Can you tell me where the closest restaurant is?

Oh, I guess we should just wait until reach school.

This is the way to the school, right?

Oh, there is a dog that looks like bread! I want to play with it!

NO! Not another Ralts! I want the doggo!

I wonder how Farfalle feels meeting its own kind. Are they friends?

What the heck! Another Poke Ball flew and hit the wild Pokemon!

Well, I just caught myself another Ralts. At least Ralts is really cute.

Farfalle's new friend will be known as Farfalline! They are so totally besties!

Here's another chance to play with the bread doggo!

It's called Fidough and it's so cute!

Aw! Fidough tried to lick us! Who's a good girl?

Farfalle, maybe don't hit Fidough too hard, ok?

Fidough really wants to play with us! She's licking Farfalle again!

Farfalle keeps landing big hits on Fidough! I hope she isn't hurt too much!

She's such a good girl! She's whipping her tail!

Ok, I think Fidough's affection is a little too much, and Farfalle couldn't handle it!

Time to send Farfalline out after her brother fell!

Fidough is still trying to play with us! I want it so much!

Farfalline, be careful -

NO! Farfalline killed Fidough on accident! It was all for nothing!

I'm beat. Please don't give me any more trainer battles. I need food.

Aroma of Sweetness

Last time, we finally made it to the Pokemon Center after getting defeated by a trainer.

Today, we're heading off to the school! I'll miss out on their eating contest if I don't hurry!

Oh, is that a honeybee? That's why it smells like honey over here!

This Pokemon is called Combee! I do think honey is really sweet, but it takes more than that to fill my appetite.

I think Farfalline wants some of that sweet honey too!

Oh no, it is smelling even sweeter and sweeter!

Farfalline is getting really hungry. Maybe we really should snatch some of those honey!

Must ... taste ... honey ...

It pains my heart to kill Combee, but we need to move on from this! I can't eat too much before the eating contest!

This sunflower seed is smelling really sweet too! Too bad I'm not a hamster!

I think Farfalline can handle this Pokemon as well.

The sunflower seed is growing! It's going to look even more tasty with that!

Time to say goodbye to Sunkern! It was nice meeting you!

I'm going to be late! Let's rush to the school at full speed!

Oh! This will be really helpful in cases of food poisoning! Let me put this in my bag!

I also found some berries! They all look delicious, but I know I shouldn't eat wild berries without knowing what they are!

I also found a disc lying on the ground! I might be hungry, but I'm not trying to eat this!

Creeping Me Out

Hm, I'm starting to think maybe the school isn't this way ...

Ever since we got murdered by that Tarountula, I start to get creeped out by bugs! I don't know why!

I'm pretty sure my school doesn't look like this! This is the wrong way!

AHHHHHH! What the HELL is this thing? It looks so ugly!

A Drowzee? Get that thing out of my face!

Drowzee took Farfalline's Disarming Voice quite well! I guess it wasn't too disarmed!

Eek! This thing really is a creep! It used Hypnosis on Farfalline!

Drowzee even disabled Farfalline's Disarming Voice! Really the creepiest Pokemon I've ever seen!

Farfalline's psychic powers don't work too well on this thing either! This is so weird!

Don't you try to disable me again! This is not right!

With the way Farfalline is damaging Drowzee, we might not get to kill it in time!

Farfalline's Confusion caught Drowzee in its confusion!

And Drowzee hit itself in confusion! What an idiot!

NOOOOOOO! The Poke Ball flew out of my bag again! But I don't want this thing!

No way! I just caught Drowzee?

(Bucatini is now officially a swear sword.)

Ew, does Drowzee do nothing other than watching people sleep?

Well, I guess we have no choice but to put Boccolotti on our team!

Somehow, I don't trust Boccolotti hanging with the adorable Ralts.

Bird Problems

I wanted to leave this place, but I ran into some pink birds!

This weird-looking fellow is a Flamigo! I guess it's time to try out Boccolotti in battle?

You want to copy Boccolotti's style? Bad taste if you ask me.

Well, Boccolotti's favorite hobby is putting Pokemon to sleep.

And then Boccolotti just went back to her Poke Ball! What a coward she is!

Well, we need to send out Farfalle in that case!

Farfalle showing his scrappy side by fighting this giant enemy bird!

Flamigo can't stand Farfalle's mighty psychic powers!

Oh no! The Flamigo woke up already! That's not a healthy amount of sleep!

HAHA! You can't kick Farfalle! His body is really soft, I guess.

We're getting close! This dancing flamingo needs to go!

Ouch, why do our opponents always hit us with critical hits?

There we go! Farfalle did nothing other than Confusion, but that is all it takes!

Are we finally out of these ruins? I don't like this place that much!

Huh? Boccolotti wants to lead the way?

Oh, please don't bring me back to the wild Drowzee. One is enough.

I took a look at the map, and we were definitely at the wrong place! Silly me!

Good thing about the Paldea region is that I can just call Flying Taxi when I get lost!

Fun Fact (No Fourth Wall)

When I started this profile in December 2023, I picked 7/7 as Adige's birthday because it sounds like a lucky date for a luck girl like her. By sheer coincidence, 7/7/2024 ends up being the day Leif's thread officially ends.

Best Served Cold

All those walk definitely tired me out! And I'm sure my Pokemon are exhausted as well!

I learned more about the disc I found! Maybe I'll get to use the TM Machine in the future!

This time around, I decided to take another look around the Pokemon Center, because we missed something. Something important.

Farfalle wanted to learn new moves after gaining levels! I panicked and let Farfalle decide for himself!

It's time.

This time around, we'll show this Tarountula a thing or two!

Farfalle didn't do really well last time, and it's time we try out Farfalline instead!

Farfalline's psychic tricks were so mind-blowing Tarountula got confused!

Tarountula feared our mighty strengths and hit itself in confusion!

One more Confusion and Tarountula was gone! Poof!

I don't like Pokemon battles that much, but I also don't like getting defeated!

Now that the trainer was taken care of, we can get back on track!

Well, Farfalline seems really interested in this trainer right here.

Oh, I love secrets! Now that's a good reason to battle!

I must say your Lechonk is smelling really good, and the aroma is spreading onto Farfalline!

I'm sorry, but I'm thinking of dinner right now.

Farfalline's psychic powers get stronger when she gets hungry!

We went back to the Pokemon Center, and Boccolotti jumped out of her Poke Ball!

Looks like she really wants to lead the way! I guess we'll have to trust her!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Fruit Lover

Last time we got really lost and Boccolotti, our new friend (?) decided to take the lead.

Oh, a mangosteen! Where can I grab some of these?

Boccolotti just went up the hills. I think I can see the school from over here!

We managed to find some of those mangosteen Pokemon, but Boccolotti killed them all!

Well, I let Boccolotti run around and eat more mangosteens. I hope she's happy.

*sigh* Why is everyone like Nemona?

Oh, you have a mangosteen! That's different! I'll gladly battle you!

Um, Farfalline, I'm not sure if that's a good way to prepare mangosteens.

Well, I was hoping to eat some fruits, but Farfalline just killed that Bounsweet with Confusion!

Speaking of Confusion, Boccolotti learned that too! I didn't know she is also capable of psychic power!

Um, why does this tree look like it's gonna cry?

Farfalline's been working out and she got a sturdy body!

Well, I know that Bonsly is really gonna cry now.

Oh Farfalline, I'll let you decide what you wanna do!

I smelled some sweet nectar nearby and we suddenly got attacked by this dancing bird!

It's called Oricorio, and it looks like a cheerleader!

Farfalline isn't much of a dancer, and she would much rather sit and blow people's mind with Confusion.

Oricorio doesn't mess around! It kept pecking Farfalline and it hurt!

Oricorio is cute, but not that cute. Maybe it would look even sweeter in a pink suit.

Wow. I think that is the first time anyone says that to Boccolotti.

Chewtle is a big-headed turtle, and Boccolotti saw that it knows Water Gun!

Time for Boccolotti to practice her own psychic power. Honestly, she is surprisingly strong.

Goodbye, Chewtle. Let's hope that Boccolotti won't be eating your dreams.

We reached another Pokemon Center! That has gotta mean something good, right?

We were taught how to make a Trainer profile, and I instantly did that! That should help me find other food lovers in the Academy!

Not the Person I Want to Run Into

Someone at the Pokemon Center was handing out prizes to those who battle others!

I'm no Nemona, but I did get to battle a lot on my way up. I was then given a lovely prize!

We received a TM for Thunder Wave, and Farfalline immediately went to touch it! I guess I'll teach her that move then!

We ran into a cute Pokemon called Pawmi! It's so tiny I almost missed it!

I don't mind catching a cute Pokemon like Pawmi! I need to balance the creepiness of Boccolotti!

NOOOO! Pawmi hit itself in confusion and fainted! We can't catch it if it faints!

Well, the gate to the school is HUGE, and I can't possibly miss it.

Uh-oh, Nemona found me right before I opened the gate. Please don't tell me ...

Yeah, Nemona ... You see, I really want to go to the school, and battling too much will make me late.

Oh, come on Nemona! You shouldn't battle someone without their consent!

I was given no chance but to accept Nemona's battle challenge. Why is she like this?

Oh come on! Handling one Pokemon was difficult enough!

Nemona still has her grass cat, and this time we got Farfalle to handle it!

Farfalle might be green, but that doesn't mean he likes taking leaves at his face!

Farfalle used telepathy to hurt grass cat! Or something like that! I don't know how Pokemon moves work.

I do like seeing cute kitties wagging their tails, but this feels unsafe for some reasons!

Farfalle went for Confusion again, and grass cat was getting more worn out!

The only issue of playing with little cats is that their scratches hurt!

One more Confusion and grass cat went down! It went a lot better this time!

Farfalle tired himself out battling grass cat, and I think he should retreat!

But Farfalle refused to get into his Poke Ball! He wanted to stay in the field!

(Note: I'll try my best to play this run with "SET" mode, but sometimes I forget about it and accidentally switch. Curse Game Freak and their reluctance to make that a game option!)

Bright Brilliant Bulb

Wait, that grass cat was not Nemona's ace? She got something even stronger than that?

Nemona sent out her Pawmi, and ... I don't even know what the HECK she did right there!

What in the Fu-silli is that?

Pawmi was able to power up itself with the light bulb on its head! Sounds like cheating to me!

That light bulb probably made the Thunder Shock real strong, and Farfalle couldn't take it! Yikes!

When in trouble, send Farfalle. When Farfalle is gone, send Farfalline.

What? You can do that again? That sounds unfair!

Farfalline didn't go down in one shock, but she was struggling! I don't like seeing her getting hurt like that!

Farfalline tried to bend space with its Confusion, but that didn't switch the light bulb off!

Pawmi struck Farfalline with Thunder Shock again, and she went down. The light bulb is too powerful!

Well, I guess we have no choice but to rely on Boccolotti!

And the first thing Boccolotti does is to tell us that Pawmi knows Thunder Shock. Helpful.

Pawmi went for Thunder Shock again, to no one's surprise. Boccolotti, shockingly, was fine getting electrocuted!

Boccolotti decided to pull off its dirty trick of disabling its opponent!

Huh? Does Pawmi only know Thunder Shock? How does that work?

In a state of panic, Pawmi just slammed into Boccolotti and hurt itself in the process as well!

Thanks to Pawmi hurting itself, it was getting low in health!

I think Boccolotti actually has this in the bag. Wow.

Pawmi still couldn't do anything other than Struggle! It hurt itself again using that move!

That was enough to make Pawmi faint! What an unfortunate way to go! Who knew Disable can be so useful?

We also broke Pawmi's light bulb! Let's hope we don't get to see that ever again!

Phew! I got lucky there and managed to beat Nemona, with Boccolotti's help, too!

Terastallize. That's the name of that light bulb. I'll remember that.

Oh please, Nemona. You should know that I know nothing about Pokemon battles!

Well, I need them, since my dear Ralts have just been brutally murdered by a Pawmi wearing a light bulb as hat.

At long last, we can actually get to the school! I'm so ready for all the free lunch buffet!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Food Tour (Zero Gameplay)

Last time, we finally reached the gate that leads us to the school!

I don't like climbing hills or stairs, but I'll do whatever it takes to get to the school!

The city is HUGE, and I already noticed several restaurants around! YES!

Oh, and there's the school, too! I guess they put some stairs in front of it for exercising after our eating contests!

There are tons of things to do in the city! Like haircuts and things like that ...

But of course, I'm here for the food! All kinds of food!

Oh Nemona, you don't know me. I thought everyone from our academy should be big eaters, and not Pokemon battlers!

Oh, I'm already planning which restaurants to visit! You can join me if you want!

We have sometime before school starts, so Nemona let me wander around first!

Our first stop was Every Which Way, my favorite place for sandwiches, other than Mom's of course!

I took a Marmalade Sandwich, wonderful as always!

I even met someone who promised to teach me sandwich recipes! Then I can make some sandwiches on my own!

Next stop is, Barato's!

I ordered a Chocolate Vanilla Fruit Parfait, and it was so sweet!

After some sweet parfait, I went to Go-For-Broke Grill for the main course!

I had some Potato Tortilla, but I didn't like it that much. That made me sad.

Ooh, these Combee's honey aroma makes me really hungry! I want more!

I can't walk around spending more money, so I just took a drink at the Seabreeze Cafe!

I drank a cup of Lemon Sada. As sour as that was, it was a great way to smooth my stomach!

Star Trouble (1)

It was getting hot after eating so much food, so I took my hat off.

I wanted to get to the Academy, but some people were blocking the way.

It sounded like some sorts of school drama, and I would rather stay out of that!

But we had nowhere to go now! I really want to get to the school!

Well, the drama isn't going to settle itself, so I guess I'll have to step in, even though I really don't wanna.

Just so we're clear, I just want to get pass you guys. I want to stay drama-free.

Team Star? I've never heard of that. Does it have anything to do with Michelin stars?

Hey, not my fault for not knowing about your little gang!

Oh come on, I have to battle you because I don't know what your team is?

Team Star is a bunch of gangsters that challenge people to Pokemon battles like Nemona. I'll jot that one down.

A Shroodle? I've never seen that thing before!

Shroodle scratches Farfalline! You are breaking her beautiful face!

Shroodle made Farfalline angry, and she showed her wrath with a super effective Confusion!

Honestly, I don't know too. Somehow, I've been winning so many of these battles despite not knowing a darn thing!

Oh Nemona! The one time I need her battle enthusiasm! Please battle these Team Star people for me!

Oh Nemona, that really wasn't what happened! You know I wouldn't initiate battles!

Thank lord! I hope Nemona realize that I'm not as big of a Pokemon battle fan as her!

So, Nemona should be the one handling this Team Star gang bullying others.

But she refused to step in! I guess I can't complain too much, because I love receiving gifts!

Star Trouble (2)

Nemona gave me a Tera Orb! That means I can put light bulbs on my Pokemon just like what Nemona did to her Pawmi!

I was then challenged by another Team Star student, but this time we get to use our Tera Orb!

Using Terastallize is very easy! I just need to shout "TERASTALLIZE!" in battles!

I'll be trying that out with Farfalline out against Yungoos!

Go, Farfalline! TERASTALLIZE!

TERASTALLIZE!

T-E-R-A-S-T-A-L-L-I-Z-E!

Oh come on, where is the light bulb on Farfalline's head?

Farfalline still didn't wear any bright bulbs on her head, and she just went for her usual Confusion trick.

Oh, and she even went back to her Poke Ball after that hit. What a coward she is!

I'm glad Farfalle decided to step in and faced against Yungoos.

Whoa! I didn't even shout TERASTALLIZE, but Farfalle grew another eye on top of his head!

Farfalle's new giant eye glows when he uses Confusion! Just like what happened when Pawmi used Thunder Shock!

I think the giant eye gave Confusion a boost, and that was enough to kill Yungoos!

I'm glad Farfalle knows how to use Terastallize on his own, 'cause I had no idea what just happened.

Well, at least we got the Team Star issue solved. I hope to never see them again!

Oh right, there was someone bullied by the Team Star Grunts. Glad they're doing okay.

If the girl ran that way, she must be a student at our school too!

Finally! The way is clear, and no one can stop me from going to school!

Let's climb the stairs to the Uva Academy, the place I've been dreaming of for years!

 

[DrPumpkinz]

What do you mean Food Tour had zero gameplay? That right there is peak gameplay!

 

[DrrT]

How can you not like Potato Tortilla!? It's delicious when made with onions.

I'm going to miss the Spain references so much...

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

What do you mean Food Tour had zero gameplay? That right there is peak gameplay!

You're right. I was actually grinding for friendship

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

How can you not like Potato Tortilla!? It's delicious when made with onions.

I'm going to miss the Spain references so much...

Honestly, I don't understand the reactions given by the player character in this gameI feel like they never like the food

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

(This update also provides next to zero gameplay and tons of dialogues. But we all love unskippable cutscenes, right?)

Finally at School

Last time we took a look at Mesagoza, home of Uva Academy and tons of great restaurants!

I may not look like it, but I'm actually quite good at exercising. That's the price you gotta pay for eating so much!

This is the Uva Academy! The grape logos can't be mistaken!

Oh, I'm getting so excited just thinking about all the grapes I can eat!

Nemona showed me the main hall of the Uva Academy! This place is HUGE!

Thank Lord for this! This is my safe space from Nemona's battle requests!

Eating all the great food was fun, maybe I'll enjoy it more without all the battle challenges!

Oh, I promise I'll never battle anyone! Inside or outside our academy! Like, absolutely never!

We were just in time for my first class in the Academy!

I was really nervous when I walked into the classroom, but I'm so excited to meet fellow food lovers!

Hello everyone, I'm Adige! It's nice meeting you all, but I'm also getting a little hungry!

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of Pokemon battles. So, I just kinda play with them, I guess.

I wanted to say I'm here just for the food, but everyone's here for that, right?

I also greeted Mr. Jacq, our homeroom teacher! I expected him to be our cooking teacher, but he is actually the biology teacher!

Our first class was fun, but we also barely scratched the surface of this amazing school. Let's go explore for more!

Best Place in the Academy!

There's only one place to visit, and that is the cafeteria~

First thing first, I got hungry after climbing up the stairs and having my first lesson!

I ordered a Peanut Butter Sandwich, and it was lovely!

Whoa! I need to find more Pokemon that do that! I don't want to eat Pokemon on accident!

I had some intellectual discussions with my classmates about sandwiches, and I agree to every one of them!

Oh, curry! I heard that is a special dish from a faraway region! I'd love to try some of those!

I was about to grab some more food, until I was stopped by a guy at the counter!

It was the guy from the lighthouse, who got really mad at us!

I was prepared to get scolded again, but Arven got really serious all of a sudden.

Wait, did Arven just say he is all about perfect sandwiches?

Did Arven just say he's quite good at cooking? Count me in, for whatever dreams he is chasing!

Keywords: recipes, food. Please go on, I'm listening.

I was told there was food involved, and I don't think herbs qualify as that.

Healthy food isn't exactly my favorite type of food, but they are still food, after all.

Arven was really making this Herba Mystica thing sound like some curious medicine. I'm actually a little interested.

Oh no, are Pokemon going to be involved in this? Maybe I'm not so interested after all.

Taking Requests

Arven even got a book to show us this "Titan Pokemon" thing. He has done his research!

The Titan Pokemon look like giant elephants! Now, that sounds scary and cute at the same time!

Excuse me, Arven, but I'm also not very good at Pokemon battles. Sure, I beat you last time, but ...

If Arven promises to help me fight these titan Pokemon, then maybe we have a chance. I do think I get along well with Arven.

There are five titans scattered around Paldea! This is not an easy task!

Ok, I'll try my best! I'm still scared of the idea of Titan Pokemon though!

Right before I got to leave the cafeteria, I received a phone call from someone I don't know!

Whoa, it was a hacker on the phone! I need some technical assistances here!

Whatever they want to tell me, I already don't like it! I don't want to talk to hackers!

The hacker is called Cassiopeia, and they are not very good at researching critical information, because I'm definitely not a Trainer with potential!

I don't care anything about Team Star. Please give me back my phone!

Ok, maybe disbanding Team Star isn't so bad of an idea. Go on.

This Operation Starfall sounds like a great idea, but I don't want to be an ally of this Cassiopeia person!

Ugh, does that mean this hacker is going to hack my phone again in the future?

Oh, I'm sorry, Director! I'll pay attention to the school rules next time. Please don't kick me out!

Biology Lesson and More

As a student, it is my duty to attend classes! But I don't see no cooking classes here! What the HECK!

Well, I guess I should learn more about biology before I gobble up all the food I see!

Wait, is this about Pokemon biology? Why is everything here about Pokemon?

Hmm, I guess I still have a lot to learn about Pokemon, so let's see what Mr. Jacq has to say.

Well, I know that I can walk with Pokemon outside. Boccolotti always gets out of her ball for no reasons!

Well, walking near the water is not safe because you may drown!

Well, that was actually not the right answer! Apparently Pokemon that don't like water can just use floating platforms!

We actually can't walk with Pokemon inside buildings! I guess that makes sense.

I saw that Nemona went to the Staff Room, and I think I should talk to her!

Nemona was actually in the middle of a conversation, and I was sorry to interrupt them!

Nemona was actually talking to someone called La Primera!

All I saw was her impressive amount of hair! But if Nemona looks up to her so much, that can only mean one thing ...

I know that Nemona is a Champion Rank trainer, and now she's saying I can be one too!

Champion trainers are the strongest Pokemon trainer in the region, and I don't think I'm ready for that title!

I need to take on Pokemon Gyms and there is still an assessment? Count me out of this!

I don't know, Nemona. I'm not really a Pokemon Trainer. Maybe you should find someone else for this.

There are eight Pokemon Gyms in Paldea! That's eight too many!

Hold on, did someone call me to the director's office? That has gotta be bad news!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

(This update also features nothing other than dialogues and cutscenes. But this should be near the end of the tutorial!)

A Zoom Meeting

Last time, I got called to meet the Director at his office, and I rushed there immediately! I don't wanna get into trouble!

Yes, I think the Uva Academy is great! I mean, I am mostly just enjoying the cafeteria!

The Director wants me to meet his friend ... through Zoom!

The Director's friend is actually a Pokemon Professor! For me, I'd rather become a food professor in the future!

The Professor identified with my ID and somehow knew I'm travelling with Miradion. I don't like this! He's just like the phone hacker!

Guess what, the Professor wants my assistance, just like everyone else who has talked to me today.

Miraidon was actually taken care of by the Professor! I guess I should look after it until I can return it back to the Professor.

Next time Miraidon steals my sandwich, I'm telling its papa.

After the Zoom meeting, Nemona brought me to the school dorms! I guess that'd be the second most important place, after the cafeteria.

Time Flies

My dorm room is so ... orange. I thought it'd be more purple or something like that.

I got a kitchen in my dorm room too! I can practice cooking whenever I want!

I'm getting really tired after all that talk. Let's try out my new bed!

After that, it's just endless amount of studying and schoolwork, with some big meals here and there ...

Finally! They announced a new assignment, and it has gotta be the eating contest I've been waiting for!

I'm so excited! And Nemona is really excited too! I bet EVERYONE is excited!

Let's go the Schoolyard! RIGHT NOW!

The Director is gonna tell us more about the eating contest! YES!

The assignment is ... "A Treasure Hunt"?

What do you mean Treasure Hunt? That isn't the eating contest! And why is everyone cherring?

But I don't wanna go everywhere ... I want the eating contest. *sob*

My Dreams are CRUSHED

NO WAY! I applied for the wrong academy! The eating contest is actually held in the Weintraube Academy.

The Uva Academy is actually a place for studying about Pokemon. There's no way I would've applied for this!

The only way I get to know more about food is reading some of these old books in the library.

I guess it's too late now. All of the people here only care about Pokemon, and I hate that.

I don't even know anything about my Pokemon. How am I going to pass the exams?

I want to go back to my school dorm and just CRY! Wait, even the dorm is filled with Pokemon. I hate this so much!

Hold on, why is Boccolotti out again?

Boccolotti just starts walking around. Is she trying to lead me somewhere?

Oh, not again! Boccolotti wants me to talk to Nemona, the last person I wanna see right now!

Mission Impossible

Oh fuck, Nemona saw me. Thank you SO MUCH, Boccolotti.

Hey Nemona, can you just tell me where the treasure is? I'm not in the mood of hunting right now.

Huh, I'm so confused. There isn't actually a treasure for me to find.

You want me to just go out and have an adventure? That doesn't sound safe at all!

And no, Pokemon Gyms do not qualify as treasures.

Nemona is not doing a great job at convincing me to go for a Treasure Hunt.

And Nemona wants to follow me while I'm doing my Treasure Hunt! She didn't even ask for my consent!

Arven appeared at the right time! I can really go for an outdoor picnic right now!

Oh right, I promised Arven about the Titan thingy. That's probably gonna be his Treasure Hunt.

Oh, and how can I forget. Cassiopeia the phone hacker wants me to go fight Team Star everywhere.

Team Star really is everywhere! To the north, to the east, to the west.

If I don't go take care of Team Star, I don't know what Cassiopeia will do to my phone.

If I don't go beat Pokemon Gyms, Nemona's gonna beat me up instead.

They say I can do whatever I want, but it's just impossible to do everything at once!

At least Arven promises to make me sandwich if I fetch some herbs for him! Maybe I'll do that first!

Speaking of sandwich, I still have the Professor's Miradion. I need to find the Professor as soon as possible!

Good thing is, Miraidon lets me ride on its back! This looks so cool!

At least I don't need to walk around as much now!

On the other hand, I've a total of 18 things to take care of! I won't even have time to eat!

I hate this school! This school is very much not my treasure!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

The Only Good Thing about This School (No Gameplay)

Before I quit this school, I need to confirm one thing.

Here it is! I can join the Home Ec lesson, the only subject I'm interested in!

My Home Ec teacher is Mr. Saguaro, who looks quite intimidating, to be honest.

Home Ec lessons are all about our daily lives, which is definitely more helpful than learning about Pokemon biology!

YES! I am most interested in knowing about food! Mr. Saguaro knows me so well!

The magic of sandwiches is so powerful! Even injured Pokemon get healed!

Oh, I know! Fillings and condiments are always the most important parts of making sandwiches!

I was right! I hope that helps me get good grades in the class!

I do like helping my family with cooking! 'Cause I can steal some of the food if I feel hungry!

I feel the utmost joy too! Maybe this school isn't so bad after all. Thank you, Mr. Saguaro!

I did some self-study after the Home Ec lesson, and I was intrigued by a magazine called "Sweet Truth".

The magazine documents a bakery nearby the Academy well known for its tasty pastries. I want to find it!

I located the bakery on my map. I have finally found my type of treasure to hunt!

Before we head out for adventure, let's eat some candies.

Sorry, Nemona. I'm going to Cortondo for the pastries only~

Out in the Wild

Immediately out of Mesagoza, I found someone who was out picnicking! They even let me join them!

And I got some sandwich ingredients as well! They are so generous!

Too bad I have no time for picnics! I need to rush to the pastry place!

Boccolotti, now is not the time to fight wild birdlings!

No one can stop me! I'm not battling anyone!

I said no one can stop me! I don't care about the Gym!

I reached a town! I think this is the right place to be at!

Wait, this isn't the bakery? Never mind, I'm still getting some ingredients!

You shouldn't go out adventuring if you don't have some emergency sandwich ingredients in the bag!

I also grabbed some Mango Ice Cream from Sugar-N-Ice. That's our appetizer before the big meal!

This building doesn't really look like a pastry shop, but I'll take a look!

The baker is actually working in the Gym! I guess we do need to go the Gym after all!

I found the shop, but the baker isn't here, and I can't grab anything!

I walked into the Gym to hopefully find the Gym Leader, but Nemona was who I saw instead.

Nah, we just happen to run into each other, because our treasures are hidden at the same place!

So, I need to do some challenges before I can talk to the Gym Leader.

That should be fine. I watch challenge videos on JoltikTok a lot.

I agree! The moment I walked into the Gym I can already smell the delicious and sweet aroma!

For this Gym, we must roll an olive-shaped ball to pass the test. That doesn't sound too hard!

I guess I'll do the exercising before I start eating today.

I am determined to succeed! Nothing can stop me from talking to the world-famous baker!

This olive ball is larger than I expected, but I won't let that stop me!

*pant pant* I told you I'm good at exercising! This Gym Test is a piece of cake!

Yay! Now we should be able to talk to the baker!

Speaking of bread, there are even small Fidough around town!

By challenge, you mean food challenge, right?

A Fatal Mistake

If it's a food challenge, I can easily take on anyone!

Finally! I met Katy, the owner of Patisserie Soapberry and a weird-looking butterfly.

Please tell me the secret of crafting sweets! I've always wanted to learn more about that!

Hold on, what are we talking about Bug-type Pokemon? I don't eat bugs.

No fucking way! Is this a Pokemon challenge instead of an eating challenge?

Um, I don't know what to do! Farfalle, can you do it?

No, Farfalle! I didn't know you hate bugs so much!

And Farfalline fell as well! She isn't ready for a battle!

And even Boccolotti couldn't fight a small, tiny bug!

I lost the Gym challenge. And my hope. And the sweet pastries I could've eaten.

I was overwhelmed by my defeat.

BWAH - THIS ITH SO UNBAIR! WHY ITH EBERYBING ABOUT BOGEMON?

*sob sob* Even if I just want to find all the delicious food, I need to be good at Pokemon battles.

*sob sob* But I don't know anything about Pokemon. I'm doomed!

I can't go anywhere other than the school! I'm trapped!

 

[DrPumpkinz]

Justice for Adige

 

[Scorpio]

This girl needs to suck it up and git gud

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Time to Learn

Last time I challenged the Gym Leader by accident and was tremendously humiliated.

I ran back to the school library and picked up a book, which talks about how Pokemon types work.

I think it is a good place to start if I want to get better at Pokemon battling. I need to pay attention to the types of my Pokemon.

It turns out all of my Pokemon are Psychic-types, and they don't like battling Bug-types, which explains why I lose that battle!

Reading gives us knowledge, but we can't get better without actual practices! Let's get out of the library and try things out!

If I have been using Psychic-type Pokemon without issues, then maybe I should try using more Psychic-type Pokemon!

I started by asking advice from the Pokemon center lady, and she taught me a lot about adventuring!

Before taking off, it is always a good idea to host a picnic first.

And what's a picnic without delicious sandwiches?

I think Boccolotti want to play now! Let's go explore!

Even though I don't really want to, battling other students is the best way to improve!

*deep breath* May I challenge you to a battle?

I sent out Farfalle to battle ... a fish?

Farfalle got Swift Swim under the rain. That has gotta be something good, right?

*check notes* Arrokuda and Aqua Jet are both Water-type, which is why Farfalle took so much damage there!

Farfalle using Psychic-type moves like Confusion should be stronger as well!

Things are not looking good for us! Arrokuda is taking advantage of the rain!

Arrokuda used Fury Attack and struck Farfalle twice! That's cheating!

Farfalle used Confusion again, but his psychic power is still not enough to take out Arrokuda!

Arrokuda swam through with Aqua Jet, and Farfalle fainted! Oh crap.

In situations like this, I trust that Boccolotti can clean things up!

Arrokuda was getting hungry and pecked at Boccolotti! But Boccolotti doesn't care!

I think Boccolotti's existence scared Arrokuda away. Wow.

Ok, maybe don't say that while Boccolotti is still here.

Little Fighters (and One Big Fighter)

I found a wild Pawmi! These things are everywhere!

I checked the Pokedex, and Pawmi isn't a Psychic-type Pokemon. So, it's goodbye for our little friend here.

I then ran into a Makuhita! It looks like a little wrestler!

I checked and saw that Confusion is super effective on Makuhita! That's a good thing about Psychic-type Pokemon, I guess!

Farfalline's Disarming Voice is also good on Makuhita! Fighting-type Pokemon should be no match for us!

Oh no, is there another Gym nearby?

I have a sudden urge of eating crabmeat. I don't know why.

Ew! Don't clamp my Farfalline like that! You're gonna crush her bones! (Does Ralts even have bones?)

Crabrawler is weak to Confusion! I think we found another Fighting-type Pokemon!

Crabrawler went down with another hit! We're victorious!

Farfalline didn't have much luck against a Shinx though. Those tiny lions are ferocious.

The Pokedex says that Hariyama is a Fighting-type Pokemon. We should be able to do this!

Wait, why isn't our move doing damage? That was super effective already!

Well, Farfalle got blown away by a strong Whirlwind. Hariyama is such a coward.

I picked up a Poke Doll, which would be helpful if we run into strong foes!

Hi there, little guy!

If little Charcadet here has Flash Fire, it is probably a Fire-type.

Goodbye, Charcadet! If only you are a Psychic-type Pokemon!

I found a TM for the move Flash Cannon! It sounds like a powerful move!

Well, none of my Pokemon can use this TM. Maybe I need some Steel-type Pokemon on the team.

I definitely have a long way to go, if I want to be a good Pokemon trainer and find all the wonderful food in Paldea.

Mysterious Glowing Balloon

Huh, is that pink blob right there glowing?

Woah! It is a wild Pokemon that Terastallizes itself! This one has a blue crown hat!

Farfalline is tasked with handling this Jigglypuff! We know that Terastallized Pokemon are powerful, so we must be careful!

Farfalline knows Thunder Wave, which slows down foes and may interrupt their moves, according to my Pokedex!

With the power of the blue clown hat, Jigglypuff unleashed a super strong Water Pulse! Yikes!

Farfalline took a lot of damage and became confused! Same, Farfalline, same.

Farfalline knocked herself out in confusion! We need to be careful around confusion next time!

Farfalline's sacrifice was not in vain! She managed to stop Jigglypuff thanks to Thunder Wave!

I hope you like having your dreams eaten because I'm sending Boccolotti out.

Boccolotti disabled Jigglypuff's Water Pulse! Now that pink blob can't take advantage of its hat!

Jigglypuff couldn't handle that and exploded!

I expected Jigglypuff to die after that explosion, but it was somehow still hanging.

Not anymore! Bocclotti took care of things! Jigglypuff got its dreams crushed.

After that battle, Farfalle wants to learn Draining Kiss. I didn't picture him as that kind of Pokemon, but whatever floats his boats.

Jigglypuff is pink, but it is certainly not a psychic! I guess we won't be catching this one either!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Bounce with Me

Last time we battled some trainers and a wild Terastallized Pokemon.

I got hungry battling that Jigglypuff and started searching for some pork to eat.

I think Farfalline is getting hungry as well. Maybe we cook the pork with some delicious pasta.

Wait a second. This bouncing pig knows Confusion, just like all of my Pokemon!

I think Spoink is actually a Psychic-type Pokemon! I threw a Poke Ball at it to catch it!

In the meantime, Boccolotti said she wants to slam her opponents with her head. Go a-head, Lotty.

Spoink is indeed a Psychic-type Pokemon! I was right!

Hm, our new friend, Rotini, is a little adamant with his tempo, which isn't a good trait according to the Pokedex.

This Spoink right there has Thick Fat! That's how you know the pork is gonna taste good!

I think I found the Spirali of the best quality!

Um ... did someone drop their stomach?

Gulpin sounds like me as a Pokemon. Anyways, let's see how Spirali performs!

Spirali landed a big hit on Gulpin, who then ate its Oran Berry! Honestly, putting food in your pockets sounds like a solid strategy.

Gulpin is weak to Confusion! Is it a Fighting-type Pokemon, too? That's weird.

Ok, according to my notes, Poison-type Pokemon like Gulpin are also weak to Psychic-type moves! Good to know!

Spirali did good against that Gulpin, but I still should rely on Farfalle first in trainer battles.

Farfalle was out against Igglybuff, a tiny version of that monster Jigglypuff we fought!

*yawn* I think we ate too much and got too sleepy.

It isn't bedtime yet, Farfalle! You gotta attack!

Farfalle got so much energy from that nap. He finished Igglybuff with a critical hit after waking up!

After a tiring battle, try some Soda Pop to hydrate yourself and recover your health!

Uh oh, is this a bouncing battle? I think I have enough Spoink on the team already.

Huh, is Spirali leading me somewhere?

This purple stake looks so out of place. What is it doing here?

What? The stake disappeared after I pulled it out! That's not what a stake should do.

When I was tidying up my TM bag, I saw that Spirali can use the Flash Cannon TM! He can now use light energy in battles!

We gotta battle more trainers to win prizes from the League rep!

Rocky and Salty

Someone called me! I hope it's not the police! Not that I did anything illegal, hahaha.

Oh, what a relief. It's just Arven, who did ask me to help him.

Arven wants me to find Titan Pokemon, and he told me one is lurking around this area!

I need to look for a stony Pokemon, which apparently likes to hang around cliffs.

The map gives me a good idea on where the Titan may be at! Let's look for big stony Pokemon!

On second thought, maybe Gulpin is not my spirit Pokemon.

I think I found a stony Pokemon that hangs around cliffs!

Spirali easily took that thing out with Flash Cannon. Maybe it really isn't a Titan.

To nobody's surprise, Lotty received a token verifying her love for eating. Her full title is now Boccolotti the Gourmet!

Argh! That's a stony-looking crab!

If I ever publish a book called "Adige's Top 10 Chinese Dishes", mitten crabs will definitely be on top of that list.

It seems like Flash Cannon is a good move to use against rocky Pokemon. Let's jot that down.

It was nice meeting you, Klawf. Now imagine an even larger and even juicier mitten crab waiting for me.

Hey, is this guy even from our school? Is it safe to battle him?

Oh, you have a Jigglypuff? Sounds familiar. Anyways, you made Farfalline competitive.

But Jigglypuff got a great singing voice! Farfalline couldn't handle that with her Disarming Voice!

Spirali's Flash Cannon has been really effective! The power of light!

(I derped and switched out after Jigglypuff fainted. Illegal run, I guess.)

(Anyways, tracing Sap Sipper from a Grass-type Pokemon is really funny but also really boring.)

That was a tough fight, but Spirali grew up a lot after that!

Sorry, but Farfalline isn't really into eating grass.

NO! GET OUT!

These broken pillars seem like a great place for the Stony Titan to hide. Maybe we'll search here?

Argh! Are those g-g-g-ghosts?

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Little Bells

Last time we got surrounded by ghost while looking for the Stony Titan Pokemon.

A bronze mirror with eyes? This place is totally haunted.

I figured a floating bronze mirror has gotta be filled with psychic power! That's why I caught Bronzor!

I think Campanelle will be a great addition to the team! It can function as a plate for dinner, you know.

Campanelle's first battle will be against a sunflower seed! I think Campanelle has this in the bag!

Campanelle might look calm, but it can be quite brutal with its Payback!

Campanelle landed another critical hit, this time on Bonsly! I think it just really hates plants or something.

Bonsly is confused no more!

Actually, I think Bonsly is still a little bit confused. Never mind.

By defeating 6 trainers in the area, I got rewarded with a ... Shell Bell? You know I'd rather get some shell pasta or bell pasta instead of this.

Well, of course I'd like to put the bell on the bell.

As a Steel-type move, Flash Cannon would be stronger on Campanelle, but I can't make any more of those discs!

Disable has been really helpful, but Lotty wants to kick her opponents instead!

After all that trouble, let's take a quick break and go for a picnic.

Well, let's climb this cliff to see if the Titan Pokemon is around.

All I found upstairs was this weird looking treasure chest. Don't mind if I do!

Eek! There's a creepy ghost hiding in the chest!

Campanelle got astonished! I mean, me too!

This is my payback for scaring the shit out of me!

Woah! I just got a ton of coins! I'm rich!

BOO! These coins are not usable in shops!

Crab Linguine

The Titan Pokemon is "stony" and is probably made of rocks.

The Titan Pokemon likes to hang on cliffs.

I think this giant Klawf right here is the Titan Pokemon! I found it!

An extra-large serving of mitten crab? This is my dreams come true!

In order to search for the herbs Arven needs, I must defeat the Stony Cliff Titan, aka a king-sized Klawf!

Yikes! Giant Klawf got some giant meatsticks, but I don't like it when the meaty claws are used to grip Spirali!

Good thing Spirali learns how to flash light beams, 'cause that is super effective on Klawf!

Spirali fired another Flash Cannon at Klawf and did a ton of damage!

Wait? Klawf isn't dead yet, but why is it running?

Where are you going? You coward! I haven't chopped your meat sticks yet!

Sweet-Fry Mitten Crab

I ran down the cliff and saw the Titan Klawf hiding behind a stony wall!

Klawf smashed the wall open! Be careful, that can cause a rockslide!

Titan Klawf got some food from the wall. I wonder what that is, 'cause it looks delicious!

Arven, you gotta see what I've just found! You better come up with a great dish using this giant Klawf right here!

I know! This is a once-in-a-lifetime crab buffet! We can't miss out on this!

Oh, are the herbs like condiments? You think the Klawf sticks are gonna taste even better now?

Klawf looks stronger this time, and luckily, I have Arven besides me for a tag battle!

Sorry, Arven, but can I have some Garlic Butter Clams after this battle? I'm totally not eyeing on your Shellder, hahaha.

Arven brining a Shellder is quite smart, since the tasty clam has moves super effective on Klawf!

Klawf might be larger, but it is very much weak to Flash Cannon, which means Spirali can SHINE even brighter!

Uh-oh! Klawf got furious because it took so much damage! It's getting even stronger!

Klawf's anger also leaves it open to powerful attacks! We must take this chance to strike it down!

Klawf didn't run away this time and just got defeated!

You are COOKED!

Yahoo! I defeated the Titan Klawf, with the help of Spirali and Arven, of course!

We didn't run into much trouble, but Klwaf was no pushovers. Hunting for the Titan Pokemon might not be that easy!

We found the food Klawf was eating, and Arven identified it as one of the Herba Mystica he's hunting for!

Sweet!

I'm not really into the whole "superfood" trend, but this Sweet Herba Mystica sounds like the supreme food to eat.

YES! That's what I want the most, Arven's cooking time!

I'm disappointed Arven didn't make a Klawf stick sandwich, but I'll take whatever I get!

Arven made me a sandwich using the Sweet Herba Mystica. I can't wait to chow down on it!

No, you sandwich thief! I'm not giving you my sandwich!

I said I'm not giving you my sandwich! This is mine! I worked hard for this! You didn't even do anything!

ARGH! Miraidon stole my sandwich even though I said I don't wanna share!

NO! Arven didn't prepare any extra, and I'm gonna end up STARVING!

Aw thank you! Arven gave me his sandwich. Trust me, I'll savor every single bite!

What the hell? Is the sandwich poisoned? What is going on?

I'm satisfied with my sandwich, but I think SOMEBODY didn't deserve their sandwich.

Fuck it, I'm leaving.

Professor Turo called me and told me Miraidon can now dash. Good for it.

I must find the next Titan Pokemon, and I saw one nearby this region! Maybe we'll go there next?

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Stony No More

Last time I, Adige, defeated a titanic Klawf and was rewarded a sweet sandwich, but Miraidon decided to fucking steal it.

With the Stony Titan taken care of, there should be nothing much we need in this rocky area.

I tried finding more Klawf, but none of them is as impressive as the one I fought! I guess I'll settle with average size Klawf sticks today.

I'll take some hard-boiled eggs for lunch instead. Thank you!

Farfalle now knows how to teleport! That should be helpful in finding the nearest restaurant!

Ooh, another Gulpin, aka my stomach when I get hungry!

I think Gulpin might be the smartest Pokemon around, since they are always carrying some berries to eat.

Ok, maybe it isn't that smart, or that Campanelle's Confuse Ray is just too powerful.

Campanelle actually can't be poisoned! That's how you pass the food safety test!

Hey you, don't steal my lunch!

Wait a second, I thought Oricorio come in yellow outfits.

Well, whatever, I think it doesn't look too good in red either.

Lotty ate too much and needed to release some poison gas! Don't do that in the dining table though, that's basic table manner!

With the help of my sandwich-stealing motorcycle, I left the stony area and reached another city!

I need to take some rest before I can explore the city, but I need Lotty to give me some of her fur to do that. Ew.

Seeking Food

I'm getting thirsty. Let's grab some Lemonade first, they are great appetizers.

And now, let's go shopping~

I always make sure to have enough ingredients in my bag in case of emergency sandwich situations.

Imma eat-a Quesadilla!

Sometimes, simpler food taste better!

As for dessert, may I recommend some Strawberry Whipped Cream Crepe?

There aren't too many restaurants in this city, so I just go ahead and find the Gym instead.

I mean I might as well. Last Gym Challenge didn't go so well, but I got stronger this time.

Oh, I love hide-and-seek! That was my favorite childhood pastime after dinner!

I need to look for some sun-shaped flowers! That sounds easy!

Well, maybe I shouldn't have started the challenge at nighttime, huh?

*nom nom* I think ice cream should come before seeking sunflowers.

Woah! I wasn't told there would be battles involved! I hope Campanelle can take care of this.

I like bell pasta can be prepared in different ways, but maybe not with sunflower seeds.

So, am I supposed to kill it? I thought I want it to follow me back to the Gym.

Time for Lotty to practice her Poison Gas. I hope she's happy.

Honestly, I can understand that, Sunflora.

Do you know that flowers perform synthesis instead of eating? I feel bad for them.

Anyways, finding all the Sunflora wasn't that difficult! I passed the Gym Test!

We can now challenge the Gym Leader, but I don't know if I'm ready for this.

Before I can challenge the Gym Leader, I need more Psychic-type moves to teach to my Psychic-type Pokemon.

From my research, Calm Mind and Reflect are some good moves to have.

Farfalline is now a calm girl! I envy her good temper!

Lotty now learns Reflect. That should protect other Pokemon from touching her!

Eat His Grass

Time to challenge Brassius the Verdant Virtuoso! Let's hope this goes better than last time.

Excuse me, I'm down here. Please come down carefully and slowly.

Brassius is an artist! I hope he teaches me how to decorate my dishes!

Sorry, but I don't see no beauty in Pokemon battles.

Let's challenge Brassius for a Gym Battle!

I sent Farfalline out first, and Brassius sent out a tiny lily flower!

Before we go all-out attack mode, it is important to maintain a Calm Mind.

Petilil might be getting hungry, 'cause it just tried to drain life force from Farfalline!

Let's get some of our energy back by giving Petilil a smooch!

The worst thing about sniffing flowers is that they sometimes release silly powder that makes you sleepy.

After what feels like an eternity, Farfalline decided that there is no time to fall asleep. Let's get back to business!

You have heard of goodnight kisses, but how about some good morning kisses right after Farfalline wakes up?

Petilil has fainted and may has caught some feelings for Farfalline after all those intense kissing.

Brassius sent in Smoliv next, and that brings back bad memories of olive rolling.

Olive oil does make pasta taste better. Oh, that makes me hungry~

Brassius starts his monologue. I think he's down to his final Pokemon!

Huh, what do you mean Truleewoodoo? Is this some form of voodoo action?

No way! Brassius Terastallizes his walking tree and puts a flower on its head!

Farfalline continues her Draining Kiss strategy, but Truleewoodoo took that hit alright!

In return, Truleewoodoo retaliates with a powered up Trailblaze! That has gotta hurt!

Farfalline, you did good, but now's the time to pass the torch.

Lotty, you're up next! I trust that you can clean things up!

Truleewoodoo hit Lotty with another Trailblaze, and Lotty ate that up!

Time to use Lotty's new move, Reflect, and see how that works against Truleewoodoo!

Sir, I think your tree is poisoned! It might crumble!

Lotty did great, but Truleewoodoo was just too strong!

Don't worry though, since Truleewoodoo eventually falls off thanks to its poison!

I defeated Brassius! I guess Gym battles aren't so tough after all!

I received a Gym Badge from Brassius, and we took a great photo under the windmill!

If I want to catch more Pokemon, it should be much easier now!

I saw how strong that Trailblaze move is, and I'm glad Brassius gave me a copy of that TM.

Nemona called me, and I told her I passed the Gym!

Well, I still don't know if I want to take on all the Gyms. That sounds like a big mission to take.

Especially since I have so many other requests to take care of as well!

There is another Gym down the road, but I'unno if I want to go over there.

Alternatively, there is a Titan roaming around the western side of the region. Maybe I'll go there instead!

Confused

Last time I finally earned my first Gym Badge, and I decided to hunt down another Titan Pokemon next.

Time to leave Sunflower City behind and move on to the next area!

Wait, you can use a Poke Ball in trainer battles? I thought that's illegal!

(Daily reminder to myself that I am playing in Set Mode.)

No! Spirali needs to bounce all the time to stay alive! You're killing him!

Well, this Pokemon already looks like a giant pile of sludge, so ...

Lotty! I told you not to eat sludge! Your tummy will get hurt!

Hm ... I think our adventure of this area stops here. There should be nothing else I'll need.

Wait, Lotty! You can't just come out of your Poke Ball and run! What're you doing?

Lotty! You made that big horn deer angry! Naughty girl!

Lotty, if you want to make new friends, try not to burp in their face and poison them.

Lotty really adores this deer Pokemon, so I caught it for her.

Ferrazzuoli the Stantler will now be Lotty's best bud! He might be quite intimidating, but he's a sweetheart if you get to know him.

Well, Ferrazzuoli is not a Psychic-type Pokemon, so I don't think I'll be using him.

I've tried different types of fruit punches, and Drain Punch is not one of them.

It's time to leave the rocky terrain behind.

This looks like the place I want to go to!

I took a leap of faith, and it became nighttime.

Uh-oh! Farfalline's getting competitive! She needs to calm down!

Mirror match! I should know how to defeat an opposing Ralts, as a proud owner of two Ralts!

Oh, look at Farfalline out here spreading her love again.

It started to rain, and it's never a good thing, 'cause I don't get to picnic.

Farfalle got really angry after looking at a really angry pig monkey!

This is what happened if you get too angry; you become confused at the end.

I think everyone should shudder when they see Lotty.

Aw, no one has ever said that. You're such a nice guy!

Why are you flattering me? I'm a little confused about that.

Sorry, the only rolls I want to see right now are egg rolls.

Time for Lotty to practice her Low Kick!

Now, this Pokemon looks like it wants to steal my lunch.

Swamp Trouble

I reached a swamp area, and frankly speaking, that doesn't look like an ideal place for outdoor picnics.

Maybe a beach is a better place to chill out with sandwiches.

Woah, this area is huge! From the mountain paths to this beach right here!

Sorry there, I didn't mean to interrupt your sunbath!

Oh no, I scared this thing so bad it couldn't even move!

Woah! Slowpoke knows Confusion! It might be a Psychic-type Pokemon!

The only way to find out is to catch it with a Poke Ball!

Conchiglie the Slowpoke is the newest addition to the team. He might not be the fastest one around, but he tries his best!

I went for a walk with Conchiglie on the beach. He totally loves playing on the seaside!

Oh, Conchiglie led me back to the swamp. Is he trying to show me something?

Hey, Conchiglie! Don't touch that thing, or else ...

It was a Flamigo that Terastallizes on its own! This might go bad, uh-oh!

Well, curiosity kills the Conchiglie.

And the dancing flamingo kills the Boccolotti.

Farfalline falls.

Spirali stopped bouncing.

Farfalle also falls.

Campanelle actually took a hit! Good job!

A second hit is just too much though. RIP Campanelle.

Man, getting defeated by a Gym Leader was heartbreaking. Getting defeated by a funny flamingo is just humiliating.

No time to get sad. Let's run to safety!

Back to School (Zero Gameplay)

I ran so far away from that funny flamingo, 'cause I don't want to see it again!

I actually made it back to Mesagoza! Which is just in time, 'cause I want to go back to the school!

'Cause it is time for another Home Ec class!

I learned a lot about picnics, and I'm ready to learn more about food!

Well, I'm a bit disappointed when Mr. Saguaro brings up potions, 'cause I don't eat any of those.

Well, Lotty always picks up the weirdest items on the ground!

Sometimes, she brings back berries or potions. But that one time, she brought back a human cor -

I've seen Pokemon like Gulpin gulping their berries! Pokemon are pretty smart when they get hungry!

After the lesson ended, I saw that Mr. Saguaro was still hanging by.

Apparently, there are some rumors of my "activities".

Well, sorry to say that, but those rumors are definitely false.

I'm just glad no one found out about that thing. What a relief.

I think I don't really have any reasons to go back to the swamp, so let's leave that behind.

From Mesagoza, I just need to head west to find the next Titan!

Pasta Party

Last time I found a Terastallized flamingo in the swamp and immediately regretted my life decisions.

I hurried back to Mesagoza, which brings us closer to where I need to go next.

I'm not sure which path to take though, but the Titan is said to roam the open sky.

I ran into a tiny egg Pokemon! Scrambled eggs, anyone?

The egg put up a fight! I guess it doesn't want to get scrambled. Maybe we should boil it instead.

Ok! Seems like our little egg friend here prefers to get hard boiled! That's the menu tonight then!

Wait, Flittle is a Psychic-type Pokemon, and it loves eating berries? I think I found my soulmate!

Pappardelle is our newest food-hunting buddy! She's a big eater despite having a tiny body!

Pappardelle, are you scared of walking cacti?

I guess not. But be careful eating those, their bodies are quite spiky.

Oh look what I've found, a monkey with big ears.

Hey there, little monkey. Don't steal my sandwich ingredients! I need them for my picnic!

Well, it seems like Meditite wants to join us for our next picnic. Food lovers are always welcome here.

In the meantime, Campanelle learns Hypnosis from Lotty and forgets about Imprison.

I think Meditite should eat more than one berry a day though, to enhance its psychic power.

Orecchiette the Meditite joins the crew! He is both brainy and brawny!

No way! I've only heard about Pokemon evolutions in textbooks! I'm so excited for this!

Farfalline grew up into a pretty young lass! That's why you need to eat more during puberty!

I wonder when will Farfalle evolve as well! I mean, he can't fall behind his sister!

Here's a cute little squirrel UwU

Argh! That doggie scared the crap out of me! I don't like it!

Woah! There's a little pond here. Great if I want to prepare seafood for the night.

Is that a tiny hat walking around? Something so magical like that has gotta be a Psychic-type Pokemon!

Gotcha! I caught a Hatenna!

Cappelletti the Hatenna has no body parts other than her hat, but I'm sure she still needs to eat.

Hm, I don't think I can see the Open Sky Titan flying around.

You don't think it's further down the ocean, do you?

Welp, Miraidon can't swim, and we almost drowned. I was almost a goner.

Luckily, the Flying Taxi rescued me and put me back to Cortondo!

First things first, let's have a picnic with all the new Pokemon buddies we found!

Lotty also needs a quick shower after all those adventuring.

And of course, we need to complete the picnic with a classic Ham Sandwich!

There should be nothing we need in Cortondo, so I just left.

We just finished our big meal, and Pappardelle is already hungry! Wow!

I don't have berries for her, so I gave her a Hasty Mint instead!

I think something might've happened to Pappardelle, but at least that will settle her hunger for a while.

It's getting dark outside, and I'm getting the chills.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Pappardelle, please! I know you're scared too, but please get rid of that creepy ghost!

Oh, not this thing again!

Ok Pappardelle, you're just scared of everything.

To be fair, this tiny grasshopper has caused me enough nightmares. I don't blame you.

Finally! Farfalle also evolved, just like Farfalline!

Farfalle and Farfalline are doing great! They should be getting even stronger now that they have evolved!
