Part 41: Horsey Sun City
Music: Sunyshore City (Midday)
This town's kinda nice. Cliffside, seaside, solar-powered.
Solar. . . Solar power has failed.
Oh look! Electric-type plate!
Hey you, Volkner. We gotta fight.
Yes and I was no way put up to this by a red-afro'd gentleman. You and my ankylosaur are gonna clash in a rumble that will shake the heavens and cause Dialga and Palkia themselves to descend.
That shows a lot of non-confidence in my abilities. :I
my arsenal on you."
Heh, little do you know I have an entire artillery. An OCTILLERY. >B)
So what was he looking at I wonder. . .
. . . wow.
What else have we got around town I wonder.
I'm sure there's some trick to awakening that. Perhaps behind a mansion or something.
It's not that bright.
Mostly use mine as a metal detector, that's it.
. . . Yes?
Well great, I'm sure a twelve-year-old has a lot of use for this.
Tch...
Choro Notes: Touching the screen changes the level of darkness on a pixel, up to three levels. It's not that fun!
*sigh*
That's it? How do you even know what that thing is? It's a magical creature.
Choro Notes: You can write things on the roulette wheel and use it to decide things if you were inclined.
You all are lucky (?) I got "Eat a Sandwich" all three times. They were good sandwiches.
Hey yeah, not likely.
What pointless knowledge about this region. But Byron was pretty cool so good job me I guess!
Huh.
Nope, they're making new energy. I saw them prodding Rhyhorn with sticks when I left Veilstone.
We'll see. >:)
He is king. King of the stupid geometry kingdom.
Huh, she looks suspicious.
I don't see the significance.
Oh. You're kinda cool instantly though! You bring up a good point about gym leaders!
Of course!
Yup, I'm the iron to your flint, Fli— oh.
Music: Pokémon Gym - Black/White
Choro Notes: Sunyshore Gym
It's a simple button puzzle. Step on the green ones and. . .
. . . they swivel!
Let's see what is the best strategy.
!
Yet quite lady-like, I'm sure you'll find!
Ahahahahaha I'm going to ruin you.
No, we're not doing that.
I can't help but notice the gigantic gears. How the hell were you renovating this? Do you just hire people and go wait in the lighthouse until it's done?
I mean c'mon Gardenia didn't even do this.
Oh my lord.
Choro Notes: Earthquake hits and deals more damage to opponents that are underground. Tack that onto Raichu's Ground-type weakness and you have a very dead rat.
Ahahahahahaha, we're gonna tear the roof off of so much stuff now, Dom.
s'up?
Perk up sadsack, Lady's here to light you on fire!
Music: Johto Gym Leader Battle - HeartGold/SoulSilverChoro Notes: Volkner
Volkner's most notable trait is his team changed a LOT between Diamond/Pearl and Platinum. He uses both Octillery and Ambipom in his original team.
HaHA!
What else've you got, huh?
Raichu? Nothing I haven't seen so for s—
OH CHRIST.
Choro Notes: Signal Beam is a bug-type move. It's specifically on his Raichu to counter Torterra!
Ok. I'll admit, that was a good shot!
Third verse same as the first two!
I SHOULD HAVE FORESEEN THIS!
Viola, you're good at taking out lions!
:I
!
Choro Notes: The reason Viola survived a fire fang? She's female. Volkner's Luxray has the Rivalry ability. It raises its attack against same gender opponents but lowers it against the opposite sex.
We've got experience with this, as you can see!
CAN YOU?!
You're running low, guy! Don't leave me hangin' with all these tough pokermens!
Holy mother.
Choro Notes: Electivire are VERY strong, like, only 2 points lower than Gyarados. They're also deceptively fast! As another point, for the love of god, DON'T HIT THEM WITH ELECTRICITY. Their Motor Drive ability not only nullifies it but it super charges Electivire and boosts his speed.
Alright but let's see how you do with an ice ghost!
FIRE?!
D: How in the. . .
. . .
. . .
That's bad.
I'll give you some credit, Volkner!
Ha ha!
ha. . . . ha. :I
Ok then, well.
QUICK ATTACK?!
Choro Notes: It's very odd to see something with Quick Attack this late, but Electivire's attack stat makes it pretty viable! More than a few times his attacks will "just barely not KO." And Quick Attack is a great surprise tactic.
The bell's a little tougher than that, Volkner!
. . . . just a little though!
Oh. :< I know how to finish this though!
Music: Victory over a Gym Leader!
Pretty good fight, huh? Is your fighting spirit ignited?!
YES. I WON THE THING.
. . .Hahaha.
Heheheh!
to greater heights!
not in battle.
level will now obey you without fail.
Oh hey, I've got an octopus that LOVES beams.
I guess!
gauntlet that is Victory Road.Choro Notes: Oh goddammit.
Hahaha!
I guess next stop
Choro Notes: ughhhghhghghghhhghghghghh
