Lumache is still hurt by her sunburn, but she should be fine now that the sun is gone.

Never mind. Lumache couldn't put out the flames if she got blasted by a Shadow Ball first.

I will be relying on Pappardelle to deal with big scary monsters from now on. I'm sure that won't bite me later.

You think you are shining bright? How about taking Pappardelle's Lumina Crash then? She doesn't even need a light bulb to shine.

As expected, Pappardelle got hit by a Shadow Ball, too, but I wasn't expecting her to tough it out! Good job, girl!

That gave Pappardelle a second chance to use her Lumina Crash, which was finally enough to switch off the lights.

Lilligant is our next and final opponent, which immediately blows Pappardelle away with Petal Dance. I just can't catch a break.

My Pokedex says Lilligant would only be able to use Petal Dance this turn, so Macaroni is a great switch-in to eat the hit.

Dancing around can be quite tiring. Lilligant needs a snack break before it can start dancing again.

Macaroni rode on his Sludge Wave, which almost knocked Lilligant out! So close but so far!

Lilligant then bombed a puff of pollen at Macaroni's face. He is still doing fine, but I'm getting worried too.

Nah, just kidding. All Macaroni needs to do is to finish things up with Psychic.

Thanks to that, I am now legally allowed to host a picnic at the Paradise Barrens whenever I want! Yay!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Kitakami Anti-Picnic Clan (3)

Guess what, I DON'T want to stay at the barrens now. How about I just set up a picnic at the Crystal Pool and reminisce about meeting Sorprese?

This place is steaming hot, and the ground is not flat enough to hold the table, but I'll do whatever to make Sorprese happy.

Wait, Sorprese, where are you going? Are my sandwiches not sweet enough? How about some chocolate milk then?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I wasn't expecting the entrance leads to a bottomless cliff! Smogon, I love youuuuuuuuuu ....

Oh, it isn't actually bottomless? And my Rotom phone saved my life. Well, I take back what I said then.

Oh, come on. Is this another anti-picnic clan member? What kind of masked cult is this?

What do you mean your martial arts were the ones pulling me down this cave? Just let me enjoy my picnics.

Well, Sorprese, you were the one who led me to this, so you'll have to deal with this scary Heracross now.

Just kidding, I wouldn't let that horned beetle touch Sorprese. Fettuccine, on the other hand, probably will be fine getting stabbed once or twice.

Haha! Heracross was probably aiming at the sky, 'cause it wanted to stab Sorprese to death. Anyways, Fettuccine, that was a good dodge.

Holy mackerels! Heracross actually landed its Megahorn this time, and that did a ton to Fettuccine. And I thought Fettuccine was good at taking hits from big bugs.

I hope it's not too late now, but Fettuccine just put up a Reflect. Maybe Heracross won't be able to drill through this wall.

Fettuccine got to rest a little and eat its Leftovers. But maybe that won't be enough against meanie Heracross.

Which is why Fettuccine will pass the baton to Cavatelli, without actually passing the baton that is. *sigh* How many times will I need to switch against this thing?

Even though Cavatelli was hiding behind the Reflect, Megahorn still did a lot! Is this beetle on steroids or what?

A critical hit on Megahorn? What was the point of putting up Reflect then? These clan people are so stupid!

Let's hope Farfalline will be fine fighting this bug. I don't know who else to send out at this point.

At least Heracross didn't score another critical hit this time. Farfalline, please hang in there.

There we go. Farfalline blasted with moonlight and ended this Heracross madness. I'm hella crossed.

After beating down that annoying bug, Farfalline's next task is to knock out a scaly dragon.

Which might be the easiest thing she has ever done, as Kommo-o lost all its health in the smallest touch of moonlight.

I lost my Reflect, which means if there's another Heracross coming in, I'll be super screwed.

Not a Heracross, but an old dude with two concrete pillars. Can you legally put weapons on your Pokemon like that?

Farfalline is actually not too worried about the construction worker. Let's put on a Reflect just in case.

Conkeldurr punched Farfalline with thunderous fists, which luckily didn't do that much. I'm still going to report you to the OSHA.

Nah, I'll just cut this construction work short by blowing another Moonblast. That's three KOs for Farfalline.

Oh no, the anti-picnic clan person sent in their final Pokemon, and I wasn't expecting a family fuel out of this.

I know Gallade is good at using its blades, which is why I was quite worried about Night Slash.

But Farfalline managed to take that hit and recover with her Wiki Berry. I think she might be the biggest enemy to all Gallade, actually.

In fact, she decided to end the fight with a critical Moonblast. Wow, I didn't know she has such sour feelings.

With that, I am now permitted to picnic around the Crystal Pool. But I should first get the hell out of this pit.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Kitakami Anti-Picnic Clan (4)

Guess what? I don't need no stinky Crystal Pools, when I can just find a random pool for my picnic.

I think Ferrazzuoli really likes this pool. I'll let him swim around, 'cause I'm in a good mood, and no one is stopping us.

Are you flipping kidding me? There is one of those anti-picnic guys here as well. Darn it, I just found this pool, too.

What do you mean you will send me to the glacial province if I don't stop? I'mma crush your entire snow mountain. After I eat my shaved ice, of course.

I was expecting a mighty glacier, and all you sent out was just a tiny little Carbink. Tch, I'm sure Lumache can smash that thing open by just swining her tail.

Oops, I think I have smashed that Carbink too open, and it's now just scattering stealthy rocks on our side.

Lumache was not feeling nervous at the slightest. In fact, she's so calm she just gained Special Attack and Special Defense boosts.

Woah! I wasn't expecting Carbink to shoot a Moonblast at us. My trauma of fighting the Bloodmoon Beast just got triggered.

Oh, come on! Lumache just got that Special Attack boost, and now it's gone. I guess she actually isn't that calm after all.

Lumache was having a great time surfing in that pool, so let's splash some of those water onto Carbink as well.

If I can't have a picnic next to the pool, can I at least eat my Leftovers quietly and sadly? No?

Carbink went with another Moonblast, which didn't do that much thanks to Lumache's Calm Mind earlier, but I'm still mad at it.

Since Carbink isn't going down that quickly and isn't doing much damage anyway, Lumache took the time to calm her mind again.

Moonblast did even less this time, and Lumache is not losing Special Attack. I'll take that.

With her extra mindpower in play, Lumache managed to finish Carbink off with another Surf. Good job.

Eek! A ghost! I didn't sign up for paranormal investigations when I set up my picnic here!

I was expecting something cold or creepy from Froslass, but it actually used Thunder Wave. Cold and creepy.

Lumache probably doesn't want to face a ghost in battle, but she has already calmed her mind, which makes her Psychic quite good on Froslass.

Lumache is still in the mood of eating, so I guess she isn't that scared. Or she just hasn't realized what is happening yet.

Did it just start snowing? Oh man, I need to take out my hot pot now just to not get frozen.

One more Psychic and Froslass is gone. I'm glad this icy spirit isn't actually haunting us today.

Golem is our next opponent, which is less creepy but more aggressive as seen in its Earthquake tendencies.

Lumache took up her tiny cup of water and poured on Golem. Golem did not make it.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Kitakami Anti-Picnic Clan (5)

Mamoswine is our final opponent. If I know anything about a swine with big tusks, it's that I better run before it's too late.

Lumache got swept by a ground-shattering Earthquake. It was unfortunate, but she already tried her best, and that's what matters.

Did you think the Slowpoke bloodline ends here? Well, think again when you see Conchiglie's beautiful crown.

Ouch. Mamoswine's Earthquake really hurt. That almost messed up Conchiglie's pants.

The earthquake was so strong it caused a Surf to hit Mamoswine's face back. Nah, Conchiglie was just really pissed and lashed out with Surf.

Surf didn't do that much to Mamoswine because of its Passho Berry. You are such a Passho, you know.

What? Sometimes I just cooked a little too much and left two plates of Leftovers.

Uh-oh. I was hoping Conchiglie would pull through and wash Mamoswine away, but he just ended up being the next Earthquake victim.

Well, the snow is gone, so at least I won't be shivering every minute, and I can now focus on the battle. Hm yes, pizzas.

I sent in Farfalle to hopefully avenge his teammates, but I forgot there are pointy stones around! Luckily, he didn't mind that much.

Yikes! Farfalle didn't even get to do anything, and he just collapsed from the Earthquake.

Mamoswine is a fast and scary monster. I hope Pappardelle would be able to outpace this thing and do something.

NOOOOO! Even Pappardelle got knocked out by one Earthquake. What the heck, I thought she's a bird.

Shits are getting bad and smelly. The most useful way to deter such a beast is to scare it with big horns. Go, Ferrazzuoli!

Thanks to that Intimidate, Mamoswine's Earthquake didn't knock Ferrazzuoli in one hit. We finally got to breathe a little.

Ferrazzuoli then hit Mamoswine with Psychic, which was really close but did not finish it. Darn it.

And then Ferrazzuoli got knocked out by the second Earthquake. His quakeproof hooves aren't working that well, man.

Woah! Farfalline might have gained some weight from eating all those candies, but that isn't very nice to say.

Does gaining weight help Farfalline take that Earthquake more easily? Anyway, I'm glad Mamoswine isn't as destructive anymore.

Finally, I do not want to see Mamoswine and its annoying tusks ever again.

I fought for so long just so I can set up a picnic next to this pool. Totally worth it.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Kitakami Anti-Picnic Clan (6)

There are way too many anti-picnic clan members camping on us around the pools. So, I found a place on a cliff, hoping no one would be able to see me.

What in the flip! Why is someone here at a place even Campy struggles to float over? You will die if you move one inch backwards!

Woah! Are you trying to push me off the cliff? Well, you aren't even on the right side for that!

An Ambipom, huh? A boring purple monkey is not as good as my pink Demeter. Not that I've been using her in battles or anything like that.

Farfalle was coming up with a strategy, but Ambipom scared him by clapping really loudly in front of him. Rude.

Ambipom then attacked Farfalle again and almost knocked him out. Don't worry, though. Farfalle brought a Figy Berry to eat ...

WELLFUCKYOUTOOAMIBPOM! I'm not going to cry just because you stole my food. *sob* WAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Farfalle was not happy how things turned out, so he Sacred Sworded on Ambipom until it has no energy to even eat its stolen Figy Berry.

Greedent is the next Pokemon. I am sensing a theme in the Pokemon used here, and it is "Food Thieves".

Farfalle's Sacred Sword is exactly here to punish food thieves. Screw Greedent and my failed attempts at Oger Oustin'.

Farfalle was already severely weakened from fighting that monkey, so he got easily picked up Greedent's Body Slam. Welp.

I sent Lumache out next, because she looks like she could be friends with Greedent.

We saw how Greedent love slamming with its body, so Lumache prepared for that by using Iron Defense to build some defensive muscles.

Thanks to that, Body Press didn't really do much to Lumache. As long as it doesn't bite Lumache's shell off, Greedent should not be an issue.

Just building defense is not enough, Lumache also needs to recover some health back with her Leftovers.

Lumache then used her ironed up defense to unleash a super effective Body Press on Greedent. Great!

Did this guy seriously just send in a household of mice? Does that mean I can send Conchiglie out to fight alongside too? What a cheater!

The ground is actually quite dirty, so I'm glad Maushold is here to clean things up. I do not appreciate the attack buff though.

It doesn't matter though. Lumache cleans Maushold by pressing with her body. I think things look tidier this way.

Oh no, my mortal enemy. A Pokemon that looks like it will punch me in my face just to eat my sandwich.

Lumache kept using Body Press, which hit quite well on Snorlax despite it having an even more impressive body.

Body Press, huh. This battle has basically been a wrestling match. Minus the stealing my Figy Berry part, that is.

Woah! I wasn't expecting Snorlax to be holding Leftovers, too. Finally, a respectable foe.

Well, Snorlax looked like a strong opponent, but Lumache already had tons of defense built for that, so Body Press was all we need.

I can now continue with my picnic on this particular cliff. Thanks, I'm sure my picnic table won't slide.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Kitakami Anti-Picnic Clan (7)

I do think a tall cliff is a dangerous place to picnic at. How about we go back to a forest in a lower level?

Well, of course, that would mean the anti-picnic people can spot me more easily, like how Mr. Malasada here threatens me with witchcraft.

Don't worry, Macaroni is also quite good at sorcery, and I don't think hairy monster is the dreaded coven we need to worry about.

Grimmsnarl started the battle by putting an invisible Reflect screen on their side. What, are you a mime?

Macaroni then rode on a Sludge Wave and cover Grimmsnarl with gunk. I'm glad Reflect can't stop this.

Grimmsnarl was probably awed by Macaroni's amazing performance, as it just stood there, took another Sludge Wave and died.

Aww, you have a Gardevoir, too? I'm afraid I'll need to handle it quickly, though, as I know Gardevoir is quite good at bewitching foes.

Hahaha! I know very well what Gardevoir is weak too, so I aimed at its weakness perfectly with Macaroni's creepy smile.

Ouch. You can't hit my Psychic-type Pokemon with your Psychic. That just isn't right.

Well, Macaroni's Sludge Wave is still the better move to use against Gardevoir. Goodbye, gorgeous.

The next "witch" to show up is a tiny honeybee. Sticky food isn't very good to your throats, and I'm sure that also applies to Sticky Web.

I wasn't sure what kind of witch magic Ribombee is up to, so I had Macaroni cover it with Clear Smog.

ARGH! I thought I've had enough Bug Buzzes from Kieran's Yanmega, but this bee is doing the same thing, too! I HATE YOU!

Phew. I'm glad Sludge Wave was enough to take Ribombee down in one shot. No more buzzes for you.

There it is. Capable of bewitching opponents. Check. Loves the moonlight. Check. Sir, this thing here is THE witch. Burn it!

Ah yes, a common sorcery witches use a lot. Eating their Sitrus Berries to restore health/

Oh, come on. I was supposed to burn you, not the other way around. Macaroni ironically got flamethrown in the rain.

If you love playing with fire so much, how about face Cavatelli and his fiery wrath? Too bad he can't burn the sticky web up though.

While Cavatelli was busy stepping out of the sticky web, Clefable took the opportunity and calm its mind. So, it is just using my strategy.

Luckily, Cavatelli was prepared for that. He sprayed Clefable with some acid (Please do not do this at home.) to harshly lower its Special Defense.

The Reflect is gone. Honestly, I do not even remember it being up in the first place, since it hasn't been affecting us.

Uh-oh. Clefable went for another Calm Mind, and it's bringing me Gummy Bear flashbacks. Is this the Bloodmoon Witch?

I'm glad Cavatelli is still throwing acids, since that means we don't need to worry about Clefable's Special Defense.

Fun fact, Cavatelli does not believe in fairies. He didn't even put his teeth under his pillow. Anyways, I'm glad Moonblast is not doing much even after those Calm Mind boosts.

With enough Acid Sprayed, Clefable eventually fell over. Maybe I should've just thrown up some gastric juice.

Well, this forest belongs to me now, and I will put one hundred picnic tables to cover up the grass.

Kitakami Anti-Picnic Clan (8)

Hosting picnics on a tiny platform while it's raining is never a good idea, but that's what I do whenever I feel depressed.

Do you think I can put my picnic tools in the cave instead? I don't want my barbecue grill to get wet.

Excuse me, I'd like some power supply for stove. No, I don't need a lightning, I just need a socket.

Well, conversing with an anti-picnic clanperson is doomed to be a failure, so we'll talk with Pokemon battles instead.

At the start of the battle, Raichu put on a Light Screen with its lightning-fast speed. Shocking, I know.

Because of that Light Screen, Macaroni's Sludge Wave didn't do that much. Hmm, this isn't going well.

But Macaroni used his Toxic Chain to badly poison Raichu, and now Raichu's day is numbered. Three, two, one ...

Ok, Raichu didn't really like that joke, and it decided to paralyze Macaroni with Thunder Wave. That's not what I meant when I said I need power.

We don't need to poison a poisoned Raichu again, so Macaroni switched to his Psychic and showed Raichu how smart he is.

Hey, 100 000 volts is too much for my little stove. You can power yourself down a little bit or else we'll all explode!

Aw man, Macaroni didn't recover well from that Thunder Wave, and now he couldn't even do or eat anything.

Well, that just gave Raichu another free turn to zap Macaroni with. Trust me, that's not the ideal way to prepare Mac and Cheese.

Luckily for us, Macaroni barely survived the hit and ate his Salac Berry. Somehow, I doubt that would be helpful, but I'll take it.

More importantly, Macaroni got to move his limbs and struck Raichu with Psychic, which actually does not involve the uses of limbs anyways.

Luxray is the backup power supply and came in next. Macaroni is too terrified by this beast and couldn't even move.

With that, Macaroni ended up being Luxray's dinner. A tragic story, really.

At least we have took enough time that the Light Screen is finally gone. And now the cave is getting dimmer and dimmer.

Luxray might be a scary-looking monster, but Ferrazzuoli is clearly scarier with his mysterious horns. Take that and get intimidated.

There we go. This clan member finally gave us the electric power I needed, though I'm not sure if spreading current on the floor will power up my cooker or not.

The best way to prevent short circuit is to set up an Earth Power wire, but it wasn't as effective as I hoped.

Ouch! Luxray blasted Ferrazzuoli with an all-out Wild Charge and almost took him out. I thought it would be too intimidated to move!

Oh my lobster. At least Luxray also damaged itself by a lot, which will be helpful in the future.

Except I wasn't quite expecting that, so I hoped Ferrazzuoli could buff himself up with Calm Mind. Sometimes, staying calm isn't the best strategy.

Ferrazzuoli just sat there and took another Wild Charge at its face. That was unfortunate.

Farfalline will be our next battler, and this time, she is feeling a strong rivalry rising from the bottom of her heart.

Thanks to Luxray weakening itself so much, Farfalline just needed to Moonblast to end this charging beast.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Kitakami Anti-Picnic Clan (9)

Probopass is our next opponent, which doesn't feel very electrical at all. Either way, Farfalline doesn't like big-nose magnets, so she'll have to leave.

Campy was drawn by Probopass' magnets. I suppose that means Campy is in the mood of eating magnets today.

Gravity? Jokes on you, 'cause Campy defies gravity as it doesn't actually levitate even though it is clearly levitating!

Argh! Since the gravity is so heavy now, Campy couldn't quite avoid Zap Cannon and gets paralyzed by that ball of electricity.

Well, with such an intensified gravity, Probopass won't be able to escape from Campy's Earthquake either. So, it does work out for me at the end.

Under strong gravity, we can still eat Leftovers like we normally do. If the gravity is low, we'll need to eat space food, ew.

Probopass struck Campy again with Zap Cannon, which hit critically this time around. Yikes.

Campy shook the earth again and sent Probopass back to magnet city. Unfortunately, we'll have to run before the cave collapses.

Vikavolt flew in as the final backup charger. When I said flew in, I meant it crashed the moment it got sent out, 'cause the gravity is still strong.

Unfortunately, that meant Vikavolt got to power itself up with the electric terrain, on top of its Electric Seeds boosting it.

NO! Campy got hit by a Thunder, which worked very well, since it is made of conductor materials.

The good news is, the electric terrain is finally gone. But at what cost?

Cavatelli can then switch in safely and gave Vikavolt a nasty Flamethrower. Now, I just need some olive oil for a great dish.

Vikavolt was planning something funny with Zap Cannon, but Cavatelli wasn't having none of that.

Gravity is now back to normal. That means I can finally breathe without my bones getting crushed.

Let's be real. Cavatelli has this in the bag thanks to his extra hot Flamethrower. Vikavolt? More like Vika-cooked.

I suppose I can now host picnics here in the cave, but why would I want to stay in a hidden den? I'm not some outcast ogres hiding for my life.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Kitakami Anti-Picnic Clan (10)

Hm, I am running out of picnic spots. This place here does seem to have a good view, so I'll give it a shot.

You can get a great view of the river down below. Too bad Conchiglie and Lumache can't take a dive into it.

Excuse me, is your name Wasabi? I didn't quite catch that. If you're trying to halt my picnic by making it rain, then sorry it's not gonna work.

I don't know much about rain folklores, but I really doubt Politoed is the rain god people are taking about.

Macaroni called dibs on the first hit by landing a Fake Out immediately and caused Politoed to flinch.

Fake Out wasn't meant to do much damage, but it gave Macaroni a great timing to cast his Toxic Chain Power. Politoed is now badly poisoned.

Fake Out was such a good idea, Macaroni! Come up with more sinister plans with Nasty Plot, please!

Politoed finally got to move, and the first thing it did is to surf up a wave. The wave was extra tall in the rain, and it hurt a lot.

I'm always in the mood of eating when it's raining outside. To be fair, I like eating even when it's not raining.

Macaroni might not look like it, but he loves chowing on Sitrus Berries! That should give him a tad bit more energy to fight.

Macaroni struck back with a wave for Politoed to surf on, but he has poisoned the wave with some sludge he secreted. Actually ew.

Our next opponent is a Drednaw, which took a big hit from Macaroni's Psychic. He does have a big brain to store his psychic energy.

Drednaw then lashed out with a super effective Jaw Lock. Ouch. I hate it when my jaw locks.

Farfalle then swiftly chops Drednaw down with a Leaf Blade. Maybe its jaw will feel better after eating some leaves.

I've seen several kinds of Basculin before, but I've never seen one so large! Wow, it must taste really smooth and buttery!

WAAAAAAAH! I hate it when my salmon wave crashes into my swordfighter! Now, I don't have a blade to slice those juicy meat!

Wave Crash is a strong move that also comes with a strong drawback. Who knows Basculegion would be such a reckless beast?

If that's the case, maybe I'll have Ferrazzuoli scare this thing with his mysterious horns. Clearly, Basculegion doesn't like spooky stuffs.

Ouch. Even with Intimidate, Basculegion almost crashed Ferrazzuoli to death.

A reliable way to cook fish is to zap them with Thunderbolt. Unfortunately, Basculegion took the hit surprisingly well because of its Wacan Berry.

Imagine getting electrocuted but your Wacan Berry saves your life. That's why you need these bad boys in your pocket all the time.

Basculegion is a swift swimmer, and it just quickly finished Ferrazzuoli off with an Aqua Jet. He didn't even stand a chance.

The rain finally stopped, which means that the biggest fish in the sea will dive back into the deep ocean. That is when I should stop visiting seafood restaurants.

Well, Farfalline mimicked Basculegion's Swift Swim, but I don't think she can really show that off right now.

HAHAHA! Did you think I ran out of Thunderbolt after Ferrazzuoli died? Well, Farfalline proves that you are critically wrong!

Ludicolo is the final Pokemon on the opposing side, and it is just here to dance. What a silly guy.

Farfalline gracefully swims in the rain and then strikes Ludicolo with a Moonblast. We call that one a Moonstroke.

Holy mackerels. I let my guard down because Ludicolo is just dancing around, so I wasn't expecting it to cause so much damage with Surf!

Doesn't matter now. Even the swiftest swimmer cannot swim when the moon is out. Ludicolo is also gone.

That means I can now host a picnic at this place whenever I want, preferably when the sun is out.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Secret Chef Master (1)

After battling so many of those anti-picnic idiots, I'm so glad to see someone actually set up a picnic table for hungry people like me. There is hope in humanity, maybe.

I got some free sandwich ingredients too, so I might as well use them before someone stops me.

Hold on, Macaroni. Where are you going? Is this person one of the villagers who fed you big mochis? I'll talk to them if that's the case.

Wait, you aren't one of the anti-picnic clan dudes, are you? Hold on, did you say the Ogre Clan?

Oh, the clan members are just looking for trainers to battle with ... I might've misunderstood them. Oops.

A Focus Sash. Thanks for that, but I'm not wearing it unless it reads "Best Eater of Paldea".

Now we're talking! Please give me more candies! XL or L, I don't care!

An Assault Vest? Hey, are you saying I've been gaining weight, and I'll need a new vest on?

Yay! Rare Candies! I'm not sure how rare these things are since my bag is full of them, but I'll take as many as I can.

What is this? A band that makes my Pokemon hit harder with their attacks. Is this even legal?

Welp, I was just trying to battle everyone until the entire Kitakami turns into my picnic ground, so good job, myself?

What the heck! I thought I defeated them all. Are you like a Champion of a League or something? What kind of baloney is this?

Sure, I'll bite. I mean, you gave me so many candies, who knows if you have an extra or two?

Here we go, the secret master behind everything. If you are like me, you would save the best food last, so get excited!

Uh-oh. Macaroni was eager to meet this person, so I sent him out first, but I'm not sure if he's ready to handle a Gengar.

There are many reasons why I don't like seeing ghosts. One of them is that they always shoot Will-O-Wisp and burn my dinner up!

Woah, Macaroni. That might have been a little too harsh. Just because Gengar is a ghost doesn't mean you can hurt its feelings like that.

Yeah, I think it's a good idea to run away after saying words like that. You might get cancelled if you are not careful enough.

Ferrazzuoli doesn't believe in ghosts. I'm sure he can take care of Gengar and its eerie smile.

Gengar is using the same strategy and just burned Ferrazzuoli with Will-O-Wisp. He probably appreciates the warmth, 'cause he always looks so cold.

Gengar's spooky tricks might be good on Psychic-type Pokemon, but it is also weak to our telepathic tricks! This is like a UNO-reverse card.

Aw man, of course Gengar was hanging on with its Focus Sash. It needs to make sure it won't die again, probably.

Curse you and your Cursed Body! Ferrazzuoli can't cast his Psychic power anymore.

And Ferrazzuoli is getting worn down by his burn. We can't take too long then.

Gengar then threw some Toxic Spikes on our side. I was hoping Ferrazzuoli could crush those spikes with his hooves.

Well, Gengar is visibly standing on the ground, so clearly, using Earth Power would be a great idea. Goodbye, Gengar.

Oh no, I'm always worried I would be haunted by vengeful spirits, but I didn't expect them to come back this soon!

Earth Power is also a good hit on Kingambit, but it actually didn't do that much. Dang.

Kingambit was giving us a kowtow, which is quite respectful of it, but Ferrazzuoli is alerted and ate his Colbur Berry.

Not that it matters, since Kingambit is just too determined to avenge its fallen friend. The power of friendship, wow.

I'm sure Farfalle doesn't mind overthrowing the king, but he'll first need to step on these Toxic Spikes. Yikes.

Farfalle skillfully sliced through Kingambit's marvelous hair, which makes it so sad that it has to withdraw from the battle.

It was even holding a Chople Berry, but it wasn't enough. What's up with these useless berries?

Farfalle needs to take some poison damage, though. He'll need to take some medicine to ease the pain then.

Dusclops is the next spooky spirit to show up, which pressures Farfalle to switch out, 'cause he doesn't like ghosts.

Macaroni came in and ate all the poison spikes! I'm not sure if that's good for his throat, but I'm not sopping him.

Dusclops hit us with a Pain Split to wear Macaroni down. Somehow, I feel like my back pain has been eased.

Well, Macaroni is still burned, so he can't take too long with this chilly cyclops. Let's step up our game.

Macaroni twisted Dusclops' mind with Psychic, which actually didn't do that much.

But he used his Toxic Chain to land a bad poison on Dusclops! Now, we'll see who gets worn down faster.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Secret Chef Master (2)

Dusclops doesn't like Macaroni's toxic tactics, so it demanded payback and struck Macaroni's beautiful face.

As a wanted criminal, Macaroni took a big hit from Payback, but he got to recover a little from his Sitrus Berry.

Dusclops won't be an unremovable wall if it keeps taking poison damage. The giant will eventually be taken down.

Macaroni was worried what Dusclops might do next, so he ran away like the coward he has always been and left Dusclops behind with some lowered Attacks.

Lumache was sent in next and was forced to take some Payback. Hey, she didn't do anything wrong!

Lumache won't mind taking a few more turns fighting this cyclops. She has her meal ready and will be eating anytime she wants.

In fact, Lumache felt very calm facing this eerie monster. Her mind has never been calmer than this.

Come on, Lumache hasn't even started attacking yet. You can't ask for a Payback with that attitude.

Now Lumache is going offensive. I think a Shadow Ball would be an ironic hit on Dusclops the shadowy figure.

Ouch! Dusclops shared its pain with Lumache, which basically meant Lumache took some of the Shadow Ball she just blasted.

Luckily for us, that was not enough to save Dusclops from fainting to the next Shadow Ball. What a nightmare to deal with.

Speaking of nightmares, I bet a haunted old tree is one for Lumache. I'm sorry, darling, you'll have to take a hit.

That Wood Hammer hit so strong, which also meant Trevenant hurt itself a lot with recoil. That tree is crumbling.

Hmm, I don't think your tree can still stand when it is covered in sludge. I don't know much about trees, but that sounds unhealthy for it.

See? I told ya. Your tree has been poisoned and should probably be chopped down as soon as possible.

Oh, ouch! I guess I shouldn't be shittalking so much when Trevenant was clearly trying to slash Macaroni with its Shadow Claw.

Farfalline is always my last resort. She came in and traced Natural Cure for herself. Wait, why don't you just naturally cure your bad poison then?

Trees and witches are basically the same thing. You burn them down if you think they have been corrupted. Yup.

Our final opponent is Crawdaunt, which means we'll be having some lobster pasta tonight. I also just realized this trainer has a full team of evil and eerie Pokemon.

Don't worry then. Farfalline's Moonblast is always here to punish evildoers and the spooky ghosts. Victory is ours.

Thank the lord. I hope that means I can freely picnic at the Kitakami Hall from now on.

This trainer is certainly quite strong. That battle almost reminded me of my first battle against Katy. Ah, the humiliation.

Oh, what. There does not seem to be a good way to encourage kids to train their Pokemon. Rewarding winners with candies sound like a better plan, in my humble opinion.

As the first trainer to finish this campaign, I received an Ability Patch. Not what I want, but better than nothing.

With the Kitakami Anti-Picnic Clan out of the way, I kinda don't know what I should do next. Got any ideas, Sorprese?

That way? Isn't that where Kieran's house is? You think he has some mochis left at his place?

Oh, you know what, I really should say thanks to Kieran's grandparents. His grandma has made some great dinners for us.

Oh, thanks! I really liked my jinbei, even though I prefer to wear my uniforms most of the time, just so people don't think I'm a local here.

The house is ... quite empty without the siblings. Maybe I should check them out. Think I'll meet them anytime soon?

Hm, maybe Director Clavell will help me in that regard, if I ask him really politely? I mean, he still owes me one for fooling me with his disguise.

Besides, Sorprese has never been to the Academy! I bet he'll love the academy specials as much as I do!

End of Kitakami

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Blueberry Style (1)

I was going to talk to Director Clavell, but I saw this weird man in blue and white instead.

Huh, am I THAT popular? Oh my, I'm a little flattered. I wasn't expecting my foodstagram to blow up like that.

What? Did I just hear Director Clavell's voice? And did he just call this man a director as well? Are we having a new director? Oh crap ...

Woah! This guy is actually the director of Blueberry Academy and for some reasons is referring me as "the student". Am I in trouble?

Did Director Clavell ever tell me such things? I must've been so busy with the ogre stuff and forgotten all about it!

I was recommended by Carmine! Aw, I guess she really enjoys the time we spent together collecting the masks.

The two directors are both encouraging me to join the exchange program, which is exactly why I'm here to begin with. Of course I'd say yes!

Let's not waste any time! Kieran told me the food in their cafeteria is great, and I just need to try it myself!

I mean, what can possibly go wrong from going to a new academy as an exchange student? It's not like there was anything disastrous from my oversea trip last time.

After a long flight of bland and icky airplane meals, we finally reached the Blueberry Academy, which just looks like a blue disc.

Did you just say underwater? That means there are tons of seafood served in the cafeteria then, right?

Well, actually I'm most curious about why this place is named after blueberries. In fact, why are all these schools named after fruits?

A random student just walked by and told me the meaning behind blueberries. I hope she meant it literally and I'll find a bunch of fruits to eat.

Uh-oh. Did Director Clavell tell everyone about me? Come on, getting too much attention on my first day at a school is never a good thing.

The student girl introduced herself as Lacey, and she seems eager to show me around the school. Thanks, but you just need to lead me the way to the cafeteria.

BBQ? Please tell me more about the barbecue you just had! I hope they teach us how to barbecue steaks in lessons!

And there are eggs everywhere! Why did I join the Uva Academy and not this place? I might as well sign up as an offical student!

Oh ... forget what I said. Actually, Kieran told me this earlier, as he apparently learned everything about battling in this school.

Which means that I'll have to do tons of battling here. Director, is it too late to just take the plane back to Paldea?

Lacey had some big news to share. I thought it has something to do with the seafood here, but she just said something that I see everyday.

They are very proud of their technology, but it's nothing special for someone who moved to Paldea and visited Kitakami ...

What now? I was talking to Director Cyrano, but I saw glimpses of Nemona in his eyes.

Um ... the Elite Four? Are you kidding me? You want me to battle someone who is as strong as Mr. Hassel immediately upon arrival?

And that someone comes from a battle professional family? If you just want me to be humiliated in front of everyone, you can just tell me directly.

Maybe I should've recommended Nemona to join the exchange program instead.

I said yes to the battle request, and then Lacey told me we are going for Double Battles. Maybe you could've told me like two minutes earlier?

Lacey sent out two adorable rabbits, while I have Sorprese and Ferrazzuoli. In terms of cuteness, I'm not losing with my Pokemon.

Ferrazzuoli's Intimidate is doubly helpful when there are two Pokemon to intimidate! I have the upper grounds already.

Woah! Lacey has a well-planned strategy for this, and it is Minun using Discharge to power up Plusle's Lightning Rod!

And both of my Pokemon will be taking damage from Discharge. This is just simply evil.

Plusle is also using Discharge, but Minun eats up all the electricity. Lacey is a smart trainer, and I hate that.

My Pokemon haven't even done anything, and they have already been hit by two Discharges. Double Battles are brutal if we are not fast enough.

If you think I'll just sit here and wait for my Pokemon to be discharged to death, you're dead wrong. I don't have Discharge with me, but I know Earthquake will tear this building down.

Sorprese doesn't need to worry about Earthquake, while the two rabbits take big damage from it! Maybe brute force is better sometimes.

Well, I'm so darn lucky Ferrazzuoli has Earthquake with him, otherwise I'd be so screwed with these Discharge.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Blueberry Style (2)

If all the electric rabbits will be doing is Discharge, then putting on a Light Screen should be quite helpful.

Yup, Lacey is still using Discharge as a way to hurt my Pokemon and sneakily buff her Plusle at the same time.

Ferrazzuoli is hanging on tough, and he'll need to recover some of his health with his Sitrus Berry. Yum!

Plusle is, unsurprisingly, using Discharge, which allowed Minun to regain some of its health. Darn it!

Sorprese is not doing so hot. When there are two Pokemon on the other side attacking us, it's rough taking hits.

Earthquake was a good hit, but I needed more. Which is why Ferrazzuoli just simply dashed into Plusle and finished it off.

The recoil was harsh, but I need to stop that monster before it gains too much Special Attack.

Ferrazzuoli doesn't need to worry about getting worn down, when Sorprese is here to heal him up! If only Sorprese can heal himself up.

Lacey had such an evil plus-minus plan, which worries me about what's to come in the Blueberry Academy.

Lacey gave up on her cute bunnies and sent out a mole with a drill on its head. That escalated quickly.

Excadrill immediately slice through Sorprese's soft body with X-Scissor. Well, X you too, Excadrill.

Discharge is no longer charging Plusle up, but Excadrill isn't affected either. She has everything planned already!

Oh, of course! Ferrazzuoli was paralyzed after taking so many Discharge. At this point, I'll need to send him to the hospital.

Ferrazzuoli went for a terrorizing Earthquake, which should hit quite effectively on a digging mole, if you ask me.

I need someone who can take care of things swiftly and cleanly. I think Orecchiette will do.

Excadrill continues with his X-Scissor, which is simply too much for Ferrazzuoli to handle. He has been through enough shits. Let him rest.

Minun went for Discharge again, and guess what, Orecchiette is now paralyzed too.

I'd imagine being paralyzed would make your High Jump Kick aim a little worse, but come on, I really needed that kick to connect.

Ravioli was having her lunch nap, but I'll have to send her out to handle these monstrosities.

Ravioli also doesn't like getting X-Scissored, but she has just enough health for an upcoming revenge.

Minun is still using Discharge even though our Light Screen has been very effective in weakening it. Lacey's plan wasn't that well thought.

At this point, it'd be more surprising if Ravioli doesn't get paralyzed. Time to harvest some Cheri Berries then.

Enough with those Discharge-paralysis nonsense, it's time for Orecchiette to High Jump Kick Excadrill down.

Ravioli was in charge of bending Minun's mind with Psychic, and she nailed it.

Lacey didn't go all-out and only brought three Pokemon with her. I guess I'll be the victor of this match simply because I have more Pokemon on the team.

I was so nervous about those Discharges I didn't even think about using Terastallization to help ourselves out. Maybe I'll give that some thought.

Oh, I was so into the battle I forgot Director Cyrano is watching us. Sir, please punish this girl for using such an evil team.

Director Cyrano even brought me a uniform for the academy. It was oddly quite fitting.

But I'm not sure if I should be wearing their uniform, when I am clearly from the Uva Academy. How does this work?

Next up, we'll be heading to the cafeteria, but before that, Lacey has the audacity to bring me to the wild area of the academy first.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Old Friends, New Friends

That Double Battle was quite hectic. I'm glad my Pokemon are healed now, but they definitely took some big hits.

Well, Director Cyrano and Lacey really want me to visit their Terarium, then I might as well.

Wait ... I thought I was going underwater. Why is there an open sky and mountainous structures like the wild?

The Academy spent a freakton of money on making this place look like the actual outside instead of upgrading their cafeteria? That's a B minus in my book.

Unless I'm in the mood of eating cactus meat and drying myself out, I don't think the Savanna Biome is the place to be.

The breezy Coastal Biome seems like a perfect place to find crabmeat and fried squids!

If I have my mum's lunchbox with me, then the Canyon Biome could be a great picnic place.

I suppose that leaves Polar Biome as the perfect place to fish for all kinds of rare seafood!

Well, I do want me some cod and chips. Think I can catch some in the Polar Biome?

Lacey has a point. I do need to survive the cold if I want to find some juicy cods out of the cold water. Risky, but I'll take it.

There are no Pokemon Centers in the school. I might as well heal my Pokemon by feeding them sandwiches in a picnic.

The Terarium Core is a mysterious sphere that hangs on the ceiling. It's kinda like the Sun but no really.

Lacey invited me to join their practical battle class. I agreed, but I'll ask her to bring me to the Home Ec Class afterwards.

The Blueberry Academy seems like a vast land to adventure in. I'm not sure if I can find the way even with a map on my phone.

Director Cyrano left but not before he gave me the Pokedex app for the school. But I don't plan on catching that many Pokemon, unless some crazy photographers ask me to do so.

Hm, I was going to check out the self-heal center until I heard a familiar voice. One that would say "Cheese" without actually making me some.

Hold my phone! Is that Perrin? I'm glad she hasn't run into any more troubles by trying to film big grizzly bears.

Perrin thanked me again for my work fighting the Bloodmoon Beast, but at this point, I'd rather forget everything about it.

Perrin is actually working in this academy now, and she immediately took pictures of me for her press work. She surely doesn't waste time.

Perrin promised to tell me some secrets, except I'll need to catch 200 Pokemon first. *sigh* This better not be another scary beast.

I might as well start catching Pokemon around in the Savanna Biome. How about starting with these eggs? I hope they count as multiple entries!

Ravioli, are you in the mood of some egg scrambles? Omelets? Boiled eggs? The possibility is endless.

I caught Exeggcute to prepare for my breakfast tomorrow, until I realize it is a Psychic-type Pokemon using telepathy to gather six eggs together.

If that's the case, I'm not eating them. Instead, Bigoli will now be our newest teammate and chef.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Antlers Issues

Before I leave this area, I might as well catch some more Pokemon, including the Rhyhorn that just rams right into me.

However, I'm not staying here for that long. The class will be starting in the Coastal Biome soon, and I'm quite far away.

I can't even see the end of the Savanna Biome here. That's how much I still need to go!

Along the way, there are many trainers who are waiting to battle, but I need to keep in mind that they only like Double Battles.

I think Ravioli and Ferrazzuoli make for a great tag team, so let's see how they perform against these two quirky birds.

I was actually quite distracted by Doduo's beaks, because it can eat twice as fast thanks to those. It then took the opporunity and lunged at Ferrazzuoli. Darn it.

Ferrazzuoli then just charges at Vullaby with some Double-Edge. Too bad its shell isn't breaking that easily.

Vullaby then used Attract and made Ferrazzuoli fall in love. Is it that time of the year already?

Ravioli, on the other hand, went for the magnetic type of attraction by zapping Doduo with Thunderbolt. Having two heads also makes you takes double damage, persumably.

Come on, Ferrazzuoli, now is not the time to think about that kind of thing!

Ravioli continued to unleash her Thunderbolt, but Vullaby is going down that quickly.

Vullaby is a cunning Pokemon that never plays fair. First with the power of love, and now the power of cheating.

Come on, Ferrazzuoli! If you stay like that for one more turn, I'll chop your antlers off and boil them in a bowl of soup!

You know what, that works too. Some kinds of love only ends when one of the participants lose their lives.

Well, I hope Vullaby will go down with Ferrazzuoli, and Ravioli's Thunderbolt will ensure that happens.

I mean, when I'm not getting bombarded by two rabbits that discharge electricity nonstop, Double Battles don't seem that tough.

You know what, same. I'm glad I find someone who can understand me so well even in a top-tiered academy.

Let's try out some other cool combo and see which of my Pokemon synergize better. I think Linguine and Cavatelli might work well together.

Linguine's Hyper Voice can hit both of his targets at the same time. I guess he is just that loud.

Except Shieldon has a metal shell of its head that prevents sound damage. I could've used some of those when I fought Yanmega's Bug Buzz.

Cavatelli has always been able to cast Expanding Force, but it is doubly effective when Linguine supports him with some Psychic Terrain!

Shieldon then bulldozed the field and slowed everyone down. Still, I'm sure my Pokemon can move faster than a metal dinosaur.

We're down to a 2-on-1 situation, which is why I'm not worried even though Linguine can't deal effective damage on Shieldon.

Cavatelli can just easily pick things up by blowing some Heat Wave. Now, be careful, you don't want to burn down the dry grass.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Calamari Rings

I continued to wander around the Savanna Biome, which is full of dangerous dragons and dangerous trainers.

Hold on, let me fry some rice with these eggs. I might as well roast some steaks to go with the rice. Yup.

Woah! Last time I saw Farigiraf, we were walking down the Great Crater. Uh-oh, I suddenly have some bad feelings about this place.

Flygon might be able to fly, but Chimecho is able to chime. I'm not even making sense anymore, I know.

I might need some more beef for my dinner, but these Tauros keep attacking me even if I'm trying to run away! Help!

*Yawn* I think I'm getting sleepy, and I just hallucinate a walking tree with eggs on its head.

Woah! It's real? This might be my newest favorite Pokemon now! Actually, speaking of eggs ...

According to the Pokedex, Exeggutor can be evolved from Exeggcute with just a Leaf Stone.

Here we go then! I don't need to bother catching Exeggutor, since I already have some Leaf Stones ready. Bigoli is now grown up!

Just like Exeggcute, Exeggutor is a Pokemon that holds onto its eggs with psychic powers. At this point, I believe simply eating eggs will grant me telepathy.

Bigoli is now a strong tree instead of some flimsy eggshells. Maybe he will actually be good in battles now.

Never mind. Some bulls ram into egg trees, and Bigoli just got ran over by Tauros.

Maybe this zebra will be a friendly target for Bigoli's debut battle. Yeah.

Something tells me the only things up ahead waiting for me are two nasty bugs that I would hate to see.

To prepare for the battle, I'll need to feed Rotelle an Ability Patch and power up his telepathic powers.

Oh? You were talking about the vacaycay? Of course, I'm ready! Think about all the oysters I can pick up from the beach!

Argh! My gut feeling was right. There were two nasty bugs waiting for me. Let's hope Linguine and Penne can handle them.

Hahaha! Penne is here to blow you up! No stinky bugs for us to fight when he just roast them all.

Here I come, Coastal Biome! Just tell me where the barbecue stoves are at, and I'll head straight there.

Oopsie. I didn't mean to run into you, little squid. I was just trying to rush to the seaside cafe.

Huh, I thought Sorprese used Charm to weaken this little squid. Why is its Attack rising instead? What a weird Pokemon!

Holy calamari! Inkay is a Psychic-type Pokemon that can twist the effects of stat changes. Woah, that feels like cheating.

Well, I don't mind having Calamarata on the team then. Though, I do notice that she just prefers using evil moves instead of psychic moves.

Aww, is that little kitten lost on the beach? Don't mind if I give it some pets before I set off.

Ouch! Is that a Shadow Ball? Hm, I do notice this move being commonly learned by Psychic-type Pokemon.

Yup! Meowstic isn't just a regular kitten. It is one filled with psychic power all hidden in its fluffy ears.

Fileja will be our cute little psychic kitten, but she certainly can be very aggressive her attacking moves.

Can't help but notice there being two forms of Meowstic on the Pokedex cover. And Fileja only showed records for the female form.

Well, I'll have to find a male Meowstic then, assuming that would also be filled with psychic energy. I'm not sure if the ocean is the first place to search though, Calamarata.

Maybe she is just in the mood of some Luvdisc on her dinner dish. Understandable, girl.

Never mind, Calamarata simply wants to slam Luvdisc with Superpower. If my notes are right, she'll suffer from some power drop though.

Huh? Oh, right! Calamarata is a contrary squid, which means she gains power from Superpower. This is going to twist my brain.

Squids and jellyfish might look quite similar, but I'm not going to touch this jellyfish if I don't want to get stung.

Who will win? A tiny squid or a tiny bird? In terms of cuteness, let's say this will end in a draw.

Now, I really don't want to see a bird with a flower on its head. They are not supposed to grow in the middle of a beach.

Everyone, get ready for lunch! I've found some crabsticks for our crab sandwich today!

Excuse me, are these berry sweets buried in sand? I think I should put this on my Pokemon to make them happy.

Guess what? I ran into another adorable kitten! Espurr looks like it has seen some shits, but that's exactly why I want to catch it.

That's right. Espurr is using Psybeam, which suggests that it is yet another member of the psychic kitten family.

Aww. Espurr fell asleep on the soft sand under the warm sunlight. Maybe I shouldn't disturb its sleep.

Espurr be like O.O because it will destroy the world the moment it turns into ^v^

Lasagna infiltrated his way into our psychic team! Something tells me he'll be a great partner to Fileja.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

POTATOES

Hey, I found the cafe. Now I just need some fruit juices and popsicles to enjoy this beautiful view.

Woah, that's some deep thoughts. Speaking of deep, I wonder if that will make deep sea fish appear in the ocean here.

Oricorio and Oricorio tag team? Count me in! I just need to find Quadrefiore who has been deeply buried in my PC box.

Oh my French fries! Oricorio just keeps on dancing and dancing when they are next to each other. Do they ever stop?

Come on! Fileja was here for a gorgeous debut battle and not to be obliterated by dancing birds.

Fellas, I just found my spirit Pokemon. Slakoth is me when I'm at home if I'm not eating.

You may think I'll eventually grow up. Nope, I just turn into a rampaging monster that screams loudly if not fed properly.

I should decorate my bed with all the pastas and noodles until there is none left to eat. Then maybe, just maybe, I'll roll over.

Eh? I just finished capturing the entire Slakoth family, and now I run into this?

You know what, Potato? You can just sit in my box doing nothing but thinking about all the food I'll make Arven cook for you.

Comfey is a tiny ring Pokemon that floats in air with mysterious power, but the power is not psychic enough to be psychic.

I'm glad to see wild Oricorio in their Pa'u form. That should mean that pink nectars grow in this area. Let me jot that down.

That's a weird structure in the open right there, but I somehow doubt it's a special outdoor restaurant.

*whisper* Th ... pla ... classroom for ... glad Lace ... anks ... *whisper*

I was just in the time for the special class. To be fair, I was not prepared for schoolwork, considering I've just arrived this place.

This lesson is about Pokemon that takes on regional form based on their habitats, like Penne's snowy feather coat!

The teacher doesn't want just any regional forms though. He asks to bring an Alolan Form specifically.

Hold on! There is an Alolan form for Exeggutor? I need to catch it right now!

Go, Bigoli! Show me where to find your Alolan brother. I wonder what kind of psychic tree it is going to be.

Didn't they say Alola is well-known for its tropical fruits? The beach should be a good place to start then.

Hm, I somehow doubt this is the tree I'm looking for, but it is indeed quite strange to see a flower in the middle of a beach.

Never mind, it is just a Bellossom, who is chilling over here. Good for you, but I have business to do.

After the battle, Lasagna evolves into a Meowstic! But a different kind of Meowstic that is blue instead.

Lasagna isn't as aggressive as Fileja, but he seems pretty good at supporting his friends.

*GASP* No way, did I just find a horde of tall Exeggutor? I think they might be the ones ...

Yes! I just found an Exeggutor with a long and thin neck. This must be what the teacher wants from us!

And it's using Psyshock too. Clearly, this Exeggutor has a longer neck to store its psychic powers, right?

I caught the Alolan Exeggutor ... only to find out that it is not a Psychic-type Pokemon anymore! Imposter! Faker! Get out of here!

Darn it. What on earth do you mean it outgrows reliance on psychic? That's not how Psychic-type Pokemon work.

Well, I was really excited to learn that there is another form of Exeggutor. At least I know what we're having tonight.

My first Blueberry class ended shortly after. It was quite different from what we had in Paldea, but I still don't like classes. Thanks.

Oh, Lacey has to go already. She has a clubroom? That sounds like a great place to store my snacks, ngl.

Wait ... the BBQs I heard so much about isn't short for barbecue parties? Who on earth love doing tasks?

But I'll need to do these BBQs in order to buy things from the cafeteria? Count me in then!

Right when I was about to go to the cafeteria, I received a call from Carmine. Well, I need to thank her for recommending me.

Carmine didn't actually threaten me, but you know I'll be in big trouble if I don't head to the Central Plaza immediately. I guess I'll do that first.

I suppose I can take a look at my BBQs on my way. They seem quite easy to finish.

I got 20 Blueberry Points for catching a Pokemon. I wish I can take 20 blueberries instead. Anyways, how much of these would I ever need?

The Central Plaza isn't that hard to find. I just need to find the center of the academy.

The Central Plaza is basically a bunch of blocks on top of each other. Why?

Hey, I found Carmine. She's talking to someone though, maybe I should wait around a little bit.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Happy early Pokemon Day! You are allowed to enjoy Pokemon content for this one day! Yay!

Intimidating Reunion

Carmine finally noticed me. I felt sorry for the girl she was talking to though.

Thank you, Carmine! I got to try out Blueberry food thanks to you! Please tell me you're buying me a free lunch set on my first day here.

Woah, Carmine has been quite busy, since she has been going places with Ms. Briar's lead.

Oh, come on. I haven't even had time to rest, and now I'll have to fight Carmine.

Carmine seems to have gotten stronger from her travelling. Am I in trouble? Uh-oh.

Carmine is still intimidating with her Mightyena, but this time she also has a big toucan on her side!

Luckily, I have Linguine to set the field right with his Psychic Surge. Then, he can just scream and scream and scream.

Meanwhile, Fettucine will be playing defense by putting on Reflect for the team.

Mightyena howled to the sky, which gave both it and its ally a confidence boost.

Toucannon covered itself in flames and charged into Fettuccine. If Fettuccine is made of real fettuccine, it'd be cooked by now.

Don't worry, though. Fettucine has its Leftovers ready, which is luckily not burned up.

Before my Pokemon can start doing things for the next round, Toucannon is slowly cooking its beak. Are you sure that's a good idea?

Linguine went with another round of Hyper Voice. At this point, he can become a tenor.

Fettuccine then had a fluffy playtime with Mightyena, who simply couldn't handle its cuteness.

Sorry, Carmine. Something about me has changed the moment I stepped into this academy. The trainers here are just so much stronger. I need to step up my game too.

Holy moly! Toucannon overcooked its beak and blast it all on Fettuccine. My poor baby is getting roasted by a bird, what the frick.

Carmine has yet another intimidating Pokemon in Scrafty. Seriously, does she have any other strategies?

Fettuccine landed a super effective Play Rough on Scrafty and lowered its Attack. Being cute is just a good move on ruffians, you know.

Linguine is not done with his high notes practice. This time around, his voice is so beautiful it makes Toucannon faint.

And he landed critical hits on both targets! He's getting so lucky!

Scrafty then struck back with Brick Break. It didn't do that much, but ouch, my Reflect.

Of course, Carmine's secret ace is her Sinistcha. I wish I can drink its matcha, too, but Scrafty took the only cup left.

Te ... what? Did Carmine just say she is going to Tera it up? I didn't know she can do that!

She definitely did. She just Terastallized her Sinistcha into a Grass-type. Honestly, that just makes its matcha look less haunted.

I don't think the Terastallization helped Carmine that much, considering Linguine landed another critical hit with Psychic.

It even made Sinistcha drop its Special Defense. I guess Linguine really wants those matcha.

Fettuccine thinks Scrafty is doing really good and asks for an Encore!

Sinistcha might not be a Ghost-type Pokemon anymore, but it is actually still a Ghost-type Pokemon. You know what I mean? Well, it just finished Fettuccine off with Hex.

Scrafty is now stuck with Brick Break, which isn't a friendly move to take but still a ton better than its dark tactics.

If Carmine likes Intimidate so much, I'll send Ferrazzuoli out to greet her.

Linguine finished his singing performance with the last Hyper Voice. A round of applause, please.

Goodbye, Sinistcha. I'm glad the matcha bowl is no longer haunted, but I need to do what I need to do.

Ferrazzuoli went for a final big blow on Scrafty with Double-Edge. Clean and swift.

Phew. Carmine has made changes to her team, but my Pokemon still manage to pull through. Good job.

Now, please get me the free lunch I was promised of.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Get a Room

Carmine clearly had done some intense training. That made me glad I'm not going to field trips with Ms. Briar.

About that ... I'm actually here to look for Kieran, but I have not seen him yet. I just thought maybe he's hanging out in the cafeteria.

Excuse me, Carmine? All I can see is a purple onion talking to someone in a vest. Neither of them looks like Kieran.

Upon closer look, the purple onion is actually Kieran! And he seems to be pushing hard on the other guy.

Huh? I know Kieran is really determined to become a strong trainer, but this is another level of aggression right here.

Did he say a club? Like, is he a club tutor now or something? I'm so confused, but I know I can't go ask him.

Carmine simply told me Kieran has been acting different, and it's probably just a phase. I'm honestly quite concerned.

Right when I wanted to ask more about Kieran's eating habits, a random guy just shows up. Look at his crazy hair!

Carmine introduced me to Drayton, who was apparently the La Primera of this academy. Maybe he can be the second top champion or something.

Drayton immediately asked me how I feel about Kieran. Hm, are these two, you know? Better to just tell him we're regular friends.

Drayton seems to be an active member of his club. I don't know how it works, but joining clubs mean I can go to free lunch gatherings, right?

I call dibs! The hamburger and the sandwiches are all mine. Now, just lead me the way!

Well, the clubroom looks a little bit different than I thought, but it still seems to be a fun place to hang around.

Drayton told me this is the League Club, but he hasn't told me what they do here. Do you just play League of Arceus all day?

Oh, guess what. I actually heard about this Blueberry League, since Lacey is one of the Elite Four members of this special league. Can't believe there is a league in an undersea school just like there is one in the whole Paldea region.

Drayton and the girl talking to Carmine are both Elite Four members. Well, the Elite Four members surely don't feel that intimidating.

I can't officially join the club as a transfer student, but Drayton says I can use the stuff here if I want.

Which includes the computer that connects to other clubs. The BBQ points I obtain can be used here.

Drayton gave me some points to donate to the Ball Club, and they taught me new throwing styles in exchange. Hm, where is the food club now?

Drayton also gave me a Catching Charm, which will surely be helpful when I'm filling in the Pokedex for Perrin.

Seriously, I just got to this place, and I'm already receiving a second set of uniform. Can I even legally do so?

Woah! That's what I've been wanting to ask! Drayton said I can eat his snacks if I wanna! #BestClubEver

Carmine warned me about Drayton's snacks, but guess what? I do not care. I'm eating all of them.

You know what? Same. I feel like I've finally found someone on the same wavelength as me.

Drayton will be going to the cafeteria for lunch. Even if he doesn't ask me to, I'll go there because I am also starving like crazy right now.

Oh, I'm pretty surprised Carmine doesn't know about this, but a date is a sweet and crunchy fruit that everyone should try.

Carmine showed me my dorm room for me to unpack my things before my lunch. Honestly, it's basically the same as the one in Uva Academy but blue.

Of course, Carmine didn't come here for nothing. She wants a place for some hush-hush discussions of Drayton.

All she wanted to say is that Drayton doesn't study and only goes to cafeteria to eat. Sounds like someone has a crush, if you ask me.

I think Carmine is actually more worried about her brother. I don't think it's a good idea to keep training to a point where you don't even have time to eat dinner.

Hmm. Turns out Kieran now runs the entire League Club as the League Champion. That is still not an excuse to skip breakfast.

I was thinking Carmine would be the one to help Kieran out, but if there is anything I can do, I'd be willing to help.

Hey, if you wanna suck-or-punch Drayton, it's none of my business, okay?

I went to the cafeteria, and all I'm hearing is praises of rich flavor in the dishes. Well, I'm very much ready!

How about some Academy Pizza to start the lunch, then some Academy Fries as a post-meal meal. Academy Shake will be a sweet dessert, but only after the Academy Special fills my stomach. *nom* I'll be busy, so I'll see you soon.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

(This update is mostly dialogues and cut scenes, with minimal gameplay and maximum plot.)

Cafeteria Date

*gulp* I absolutely agree. *munch* Though I think the Academy Pizza is a close second. Let's just say this is the best academy canteen I've ever been to.

That's so true! I feel like the world has expanded so much simply by having intellectual food discussions with Drayton. This is the best day of my life!

Hang on. I'm thinking if I should get some Academy Hamburger. I'll talk about that League thingy later, ok?

For a moment, I thought my burger is getting served by some waiters, until I realize one of them looks like a certain purple onion.

Ok, Drayton, you can have your date with Kieran all you want, but I'll be having a lunch all by myself. Deal?

Oops. Was I too loud? I forgot I wasn't supposed to tell Kieran I'm here yet. Well, surprise!

Oh, that's right. Is this a meeting of the BB League, 'cause I think all of the Elite Four members are present?

Yup. This an emergency meeting to discuss whether I should be allowed to join the league. Hey, as long as I can eat the snacks, I don't care.

Kieran got the final say as the BB League Champion, and he let me pass. Somehow, I'm not too happy about this.

By the way, I don't know who this dude is. He has been holding a frying pan this entire time, so he's cool I bet.

That about wraps up our lunch meeting. Well, at least the meeting part. I still don't like the way Kieran talks to people now.

I need to head out and finish my registration, but that can wait after I pick up some more spaghetti for dinner tonight.

I went back to the academy entrance, and there we go. Drayton and the two people he has been constantly flirting with. DRAMA!

Kieran told me he agreed with Drayton's proposal just so he can battle me. He has always liked battling, but it has gotten worse since he put his hair up.

Huh, peach? Where are the peaches? I'm actually getting thirsty right now.

Um, I can't make any promise about that. What if someone throws a team of Bug-type Pokemon at my face?

I don't know. The only fishy going on is all the tuna steaks and fried cods I'll be having in the cafeteria.

Woah. I'll be having an insider advantage, and I can directly battle any of the Elite Four members if I wish to. No Gym challenges? Heck yeah.

But I'll need to do some small trials first. If they are all cooking, then I'll be more than glad to try them out.

Director Cyrano called me because I've been doing many BBQs. Now, I'll have access to harder quests, such as making TMs.

I went to the Central Plaza to make some TMs, and I notice a new TM for Psychic Noise! Great, I'll finally have something to counteract Bug Buzzes!

A researcher asked me to help her with an experiment. I agreed because I heard her scream synchronize, but now I kinda regret that. What if it's an illegal dangerous experiment?

Never mind! All I needed to do is walk around as Spirali, as I can now control his mind! Suddenly, I want to eat some truffles.

What? I got snacks for helping out in experiments? Count me in for any future experiments!

For the next stage, I'm now floating in air like Sorprese, and I can battle Pokemon as him. Will I get hurt?

I got a copy of the Synchro Machine at the end! Which means that I can synchronize with my Pokemon anytime I want. I hope that no Espeon was hurt for making this machine.

I can even fly in air if I control Penne's mind. Ooh, I really want to try plucking fruits in air!

On my way back to the League clubroom, I found a stapler monster. How does this thing even eat?

I got plenty of Blueberry points to use, so I asked the Art Club to redecorate the room into PINK! *beep boop* Hold on, what's that?

Huh, it says I received an email sent from someone in the academy. I'm not sure if it's a scam or not though ...

The Scarlet Letter

Dear Adige,

I have been watching your journey in the Blu erry Academy! Great job beating Carmin with a team of Psychic-type Poke ! I am also a transfer student om Paldea, but I study at the a Academy and I love battling with -type Pokemon! I'd love t meet you in person, as I need your help for a project I am rking on. Unf rtunately, I am currently busy with something. I also w t to inspect your battling ability upon closer look, so please fight Crisp from the BB League Elite r. I strongly recommend you beat ev ry trainer in the Savanna Biome first fore you do so. If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email! I'll give an update after you successfully beat spin. See you!

Yours growingly,
Le

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Reverse Psychology

Well, I have no idea who sent me that email and why there are holes in it like a real letter, but I think I have to do something with Crispin the Elite Four.

My mysterious fan also wants me to beat every trainer in the biome, which would require me to go through the muddy water area.

Do you think Nemona sent me that email? She's the only person I know who owned a grass cat.

Also, it made me nervous that someone has been watching me this entire time. What if I made stupid plays against these sand crocodiles?

I also get suspicious of small Pokemon spying on me. Seriously, I hope this mysetrious person is not some kind of creepy creeps.

Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?

My Happiny isn't just a regular Happiny. She's the strongest one and the most adamant you'll ever find.

Oh my, I found some more sweets just lying on the ground. Someone must've dropped a strawberry cake. Oh no!

I found the place Crispin is hiding at. Though I don't think I'll challenge him now. I don't want another Katy incident happening.

I'm glad there are vending machines in the plaza. I'm parching right now, and I need a dozen of Moomoo milk to quench the thirst.

Crispin is a Fire-type trainer. I should pour a bucket of vanilla ice cream on his head to cool him down. On second thought, I'll just eat the ice cream myself.

I feel like Calamarata is aquatic enough to fight Crispin, but I'm kinda bummed out by the fact that she still hasn't evolved.

Maybe if I get into Calamarata's mind, I'll know what she's thinking and what she needs.

Ah yes! Of course, I should go to some more muddy ponds and see how Calamarata reacts. Brilliant!

There's an outdoor classroom in the middle of the biome. I wish they would teach me what kind of food each Pokemon species likes, but oh well.

My big BBQ this time is to give my Pokemon a wash. I cleaned Calamarata and hope she'll be happy enough to evolve now.

I found a pond! Even though the water looks really dirty, we are totally swimming through.

By that mean, I mean Miraidon will be surfing on the pond to transport me back and forth. That's what you get for stealing my sandwich, you little bitch.

There are wild Bruxish in the pond. That has gotta mean something good, right?

Calamarata is a fantastic Pokemon to use against other Psychic-type Pokemon, especially since she turns Screech into a sharp Defense boost.

Eek! A spider! I thought dealing with Spidops is enough, but now I may run into spiders even in water! Ew!

I like spiders the best when they are asleep. I can even bring in my psychic tree even though he will die when a bug bites on him.

I must not forget, I'm here to investigate what Calamarata likes. I'll let her pick any seafood she finds here.

I can see Bruxish and Eelektross from above. I don't know how, but Calamarata can defeat these Pokemon even though she's floating in air.

Hold on, did Calamarata just flip herself? Silly girl, you can't see things properly this way!

˙ʎʌɹn┴-ʎsdo┴ ɐ ɥʇᴉʍ ǝɯ ʇᴉɥ ɐʇɐɹɐɯɐlɐƆ ǝʞᴉl s,ʇI ˙ʎzzᴉp pɐǝɥ ʎɯ ƃuᴉʞɐɯ sᴉ sᴉɥʇ 'ou ɥO

What? Calamarata evolved by fighting upside-down! This is some seriously twisted stuff.

Calamarata is now a Malamar, which is a manipulative Pokemon that hypnotizes foes. All I need is her controlling chefs to make me more food.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Squid Games

Calamarata is now a bigger squid, and she's here to wreck everything she sees, whether on land or on water.

I think Calamarata should eat some eels after her evolution. It was probably really tiring.

Calamarata can slam her foes with Superpower and gain even more superpowers for subsequent uses.

Ouch. I wasn't expecting my squid to turn into zapped squid in her first battle.

Wait, there are wild Rellor rolling around? HAHAHAHA. I'll never not laugh when I see these idiots.

Another small plaza for me to take a rest. Unfortunately, they don't provide stoves and cookers here, and I won't be able to cook.

There are counsellors around giving trainers Blueberry Points for battling. For once, battling trainers is beneficial.

I received 100 BPs just from battling 5 trainers. Well, what's the point of doing those BBQs then?

I got a TM for Throat Chop, which is perfect for my newly evolved squid, who uses her head to chop others' throats.

Um ... good for you? That's somehow a less impressive achievement that being the best at eating ten hamburgers at one time.

Let's try to use Calamarata with Ferrazzuoli by her side. Unfortunately, we'll need to fight this little Girafarig this time.

Good job, Calamarata. She took care of that Cross Chop even though it was a critical hit.

Girafarig gave Ferrazzuoli some quick zap with Thunderbolt. I'll give it a pass, because we love Girafarig in this town.

Sorry, darling. Calamarata swiftly knocked Girafarig out with Throat Chop. Obviously, a long-necked Pokemon would be weak to that.

Here we go. Ferrazzuoli went for an odd strategy this time, which is to swap his skill with his opponent.

He gave Magmar his Intimidate, which boosted Calamarata's Attack because she's such a contrarian!

Calamarata then had an even strong Throat Chop to use on Magmar! We played it like a darn fiddle!

Then Ferrazzuoli finished things off with Earth Power, which would've actually ended things faster.

Another strategy we're using today, is to blast some Hurricane while it's raining. You can't see the rain, but you just need to see the wind.

And Lumache has a strong Scald under the rain as well. These two form such a powerful combo.

Let's go back to the squid-deer duo, this time fighting Rabsca and ... a pile of whipped cream.

Well, I know very well Rabsca is weak to Throat Chop. I promise, Calamarata will aim at the mudball instead of the throat.

Ferrazzuoli then slammed Rabsca with Double-Edge. I'm not bullying other Psychic-type Pokemon. I'm just bullying bugs.

I thought we played well getting rid of the bug, Calamarata's biggest weakness, but Alcremie's Dazzling Gleam is also super effective on her.

Argh, darn it! Calamarata's hypnosis strategy doesn't work because Alcremie covered herself in sweetness. Well played, honestly.

Well, that was a bad play on my behalf. I hope my superfan didn't see this.

Guess what? Spirali is here to save the day by blasting a Flash Cannon on Alcremie. Yup, he's making a comeback!

I just found out that I can make TMs for Expanding Force now. That will be helpful later.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Cellfood

(This episode is brought to you by Tyrogue and his juicy orange.)

I didn't know Penne is a dancer before, so I'm surprised to see that he wants to learn Feather Dance.

Upper Hand seems like a good move, but my Upper Jaw is probably a better move to use in dinner parties.

What? Making a sandwich is a quest? Time to farm some easy Blueberry Points then.

I think "making really delicious sandwiches" or "cooking a big bowl of noodles for 10 people" are some really advanced quests. Thank you.

I'll say I deserve a nice Ultra Pickle Sandwich for my tough adventures in the Blueberry Academy.

Hm, I'll need to catch a Psychic-type Pokemon. I haven't run into any Psychic-type Pokemon I haven't caught yet.

I know I should deal with the Savanna Biome first, but I might as well take a peek at the Polar Biome to see if I can find anything.

Ooh, is that a gooey dumpling? Perfect for my ramen lunch today.

Bigoli threw some Leech Seed to sap on the magic dumpling, but no health has been stolen! What kind of sorcery is this?

That's why! Solosis is actually a Psychic-type Pokemon, duh. Well, forget about my dumpling ramen then.

Caccavelle the Solosis will now be joining our team and protect us with her Magic Guard.

Caccavelle left some gel behind, which gave me enough ingredients to cook up a Future Sight TM. I'll give that some thoughts.

Now that that is out of the way, let's slowly levitate back to the Savanna Biome with our new cell friend.

The team gave Caccavelle a proper welcome with a warm picnic and a really really really sour sandwich.

Caccavelle is probably too weak to fight in battles. Let's leave those to Fileja and Calamarata.

Dealing with Dewpider was already scary enough. I don't need this giant bubbly spider staring at us. Let's give it a good Fake Out.

Zebstrika is stealing our idea by putting on a Light Screen for their team. Hey, I'll give you some grass to chew on, so leave me alone.

Calamarata crushed Zebstrika with Superpower, but it's actually the attack boost that she really wants.

Good. I hope all spiders I'll ever run into all flinch and can't move. Or else, I'll be lighting up a torch.

Woah, I wasn't expecting a lightning to strike Fileja out of nowhere in a dry desert.

I was worried what that big spider might do, so I had Fileja put on a Reflect. She can be good at giving support too, if she wants to.

Araquanid has quite a large head, so maybe it will have a weak throat? Well, Throat Chop didn't really do that much, but I'll take it.

On one hand, I'm glad Araquanid is going for Bug-type attacks. On the other hand, I don't want to see it recovering health for itself.

Super-cell Slam? That sounds like something that Caccavelle should be able to use.

I can't burn this spider. So let's twist its mind then chop its throat instead. Sounds like a great plan to me.

Thanks to Calamarata's strengthened bulk from using Superpower, Zebstrika was not really a threat.

Oops. I think Calamarata might've hit too strong with her Throat Chop. We better peace out before it's too late.

Hey, Penne, I didn't know you're the nest husband kind of bird. Hey, don't look at me like that, you know I didn't steal and fry your eggs.

Count me in if you are doing a barbecue party. Don't mind the vulture that is standing right by me.

You think you got a cute Girafarig? How about a taller giraffe with a tail hoodie?

Woah! Caccavelle evolved already even though she just joined the team. Cell do multiply fast, I guess.

Just so you know, Duosion and I have an average of one brain.

I wasn't just messing around with those trainers. I'm here to earn my Blueberry Points and a Double-Edge TM. Well, Ferrazzuoli already has that move.

Should I tell those Doduo to stop or should I just take a photo of them instead?

League Trainers: Savanna Edition (1)

I paid the School Store a quick visit and was delighted to see all the pastries around! Fantastic!

They even sell candies at the counter. Perfect place to go to when I run out of snacks. You know, when I'm busy studying, obviously.

They even sell some pre-made TMs in the store. Let me grab some for Light Screen, 'cause I feel like that'll be helpful here.

Do you know that Kingdra is used to make herbal medicine in some regions? It shouldn't be too surprisingly one come with four Herba Mystica then.

Caccavelle smelled the Herba Mystica I found and evolved into a Reuniclus! She grows so fast it felt like we only met her yesterday.

Reuniclus now has arms formed by cells. Do you think I can gain some psychic powers too if I shake her hands?

Caccavelle is still here to bless us with her Magic Guard, but her newfound brainpower is not something to mess with either!

Just so you know, I've been running into many outbreaks of Fraxure. I hope Bigoli can deal with them.

Aw man, now I wish I have two tusks to eat with. I, too, like to save some of my food to eat later.

I ran into a wild Toucannon that was holding a Sitrus Berry to eat in battle. Finally, a Pokemon that can understand my feelings.

I have only two trainers left in the biome, and something tells me they are going to be tough.

I was hoping the Linguine-Cavatelli combination would be helpful, but that probably won't work well against two evil Dark-type Pokemon.

Linguine won't be able to expand his force with his Psychic Terrain, so he'll just scream really loudly to deafen the opponents.

Woah woah woah. Cavatelli didn't even do anything, but Krookodile is already mad and stomps at Cavatelli.

Buca di beppo! Cavatelli didn't even get his time to shine, 'cause Mandibuzz used Foul Play to finish him off.

You can't steal my idea! Eating Leftovers in battle to restore health is an Adige-exclusive special!

Linguine continues to strike with Hyper Voice, this time with Farfalle by his side.

Krookodile calmed down a little bit after throwing a tantrum last turn and blew up a Sandstorm instead.

Krookodile is nothing but a crook old dile, and Farfalle shows no mercy to those. One Sacred Sword and we showed Krookodile what is justice.

Mandibuzz is a Pokemon that never fights fair. It used Foul Play and now went for Toxic. Disgusting behaviors.

BLURP. Our team needs to fight when there is sand flying into our eyes every ten seconds. On the other hand, Mandibuzz doesn't give a crap about the sand. What.

Rhyperior is our next opponent. While it isn't as evil as Krookodile, it still isn't exactly a friendly face to see.

Let's give a round of applause to Mandibuzz for missing its Toxic last turn. If it can keep missing, I don't mind seeing that move for a few more turns.

Farfalle's regular sword would be a good hit on Rhyperior, but he powers up his blade with leaf energy for a more effective hit.

Except Leaf Blade wasn't as good as I hoped due to Rindo Berry weakening the damage. I feel betrayed by my dearest berries.

Mandibuzz was forced to throw Toxic on Farfalle again, and this time it connected. Farfalle will now need to fight while poisoned.

Oh what now? Rhyperior's horn looks tiny as freak. How on earth can it use Megahorn to hit Linguine for super big damage?

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

League Trainers: Savanna Edition (2)

Well, if Rhyperior takes pride in its mighty horn, I don't mind showing it Ferrazzuoli's bigger and mightier horns.

Farfalle went for Leaf Blade on Rhyperior again, and this time there are no berries to save it. A very critical hit, indeed.

Mandibuzz still had to use Toxic, and Ferrazzuoli swiftly dodged that. We have been quite lucky with those.

Ferrazzuoli gave Mandibuzz a shocking Thunderbolt, which did a lot but didn't quite knock Mandibuzz out.

Kl ... what now? I've never seen this Pokemon before, but it looks like some ancient form of Scizor and I hate it.

Farfalle is not a ghost, which is why I'm shocked to see that he can cast Will-O-Wisp. I'll take that though, as I want to burn that ancient bug.

Well, I was hoping the burn would weaken Kleavor a little bit, but it still did enough to one-hit X-Scissor Ferrazzuoli out of the field.

Because it was holding a Life Orb! Seriously? You wish to trade off your health for bigger damage. You'll regret this!

Mandibuzz is no longer locked to Toxic, and our psychic field is gone. My day couldn't possibly go any worse than this.

I still don't know what Kleavor is up to, but I'm glad Farfalle's Sacred Sword was sharp enough to slice through that rocky axe.

Ouch. Kleavor even had Aerial Ace to chop on Farfalle. This bug is prepared for everything!

Mandibuzz crashed a Foul Play on Lumache. So, it was like having her shell hit on her head.

Lumache boiled some hot water and scalded on Kleavor's burning body. Whatever it is, I wish to never see it again.

The opposing trainer has only Mandibuzz left, while I send out my secret ace, Lotty, to save the day!

Oh, what! Lotty barely survived that Foul Play hit. That doesn't make sense, since she never does enough damage with her attacks.

It's probably a little too late now, but Lotty put on a Reflect to slow things down a little bit.

Lumache then blasted a Scald on Mandibuzz, which didn't do that much. We might need to re-boil the water.

Let's see who'll end up winning this Leftovers-eating contest. Mandibuzz or Lumache.

Mandibuzz is a one-trick vulture, but dang, Foul Play is surely an annoying move for my team to deal with.

Lotty threw a Drain Punch on Mandibuzz, which, of course, dealth pitiful damage as expected from punching a bird.

Lumache brew another blast of Scald, which was so close to knock that bird out. If only we could cause Mandibuzz to burn or something.

I was glad to see Lotty in action again after so long, but she eventually just crumbled to Foul Play.

Do not worry though, as Lumache is here to roast Mandibuzz with one final Scald. It's cooked.

If fighting these random club trainers is this tough, I can't imagine what would happen with Crispin.

We know that Crispin is a Fire-type trainer, but he'll surely have ways to cover their weaknesses. I must not underestimate these Elite Four members.
