No actually, there is one thing you could do. Apollo, take these peppers. Now.

Glailes....are you both male? Just...I'm curious how this works...

Ffeffni Mountain
This large mountain is very cold and has biting winds nipping around. There is a layer of snow falling and many ice types can be found here. Also look for hardier bird Pokemon and a variety of tough foes.

‡ Round 116 ‡

You hand the Bluepeppers to Apollo and then ask the Glalies a bewildering question.



"I'm a female," the mother says slowly.

"And I'm a male," the father adds.

"All Snorunts, male or female, will evolve into Glalie at level 42," the mother explains. "However, if a female Snorunt is exposed to a Dawn Stone before reaching level 42, that female Snorunt will evolve into a Froslass. It's similar to how all Gallades are male but Gardevoirs, on the other hand, can be male or female."

"But, um, thanks for the comment about the kiddies," the father adds.

Nevshard Badlands
A terribly hot, sweltering desert with few places for shade. Illusions are commonplace here-and the scent of inevitable dehydration hangs high here. Yet hardy Pokemon worked out a way to survive in this climate-despite the horrid lack of water.

‡ Round 118 ‡

Armed with new knowledge about Glalies, you hop aboard Marauder and take off into the sky. Soon, Ffeffni Mountain and those mischievous Snorunts become little more than a memory as you make your way back south toward the Nevshard Badlands. The terrain below gradually becomes more flat and even as mountainous rock soon becomes flat, open sand. As you descend upon the badlands, you direct Marauder toward the rock where you remember the apothecary being located. You touch down.

Dismounting, you enter the apothecary where you see Artemis and Zentillion (who, by the way, is wearing an apron) grinding plants with a pestle and mortar. Zent shoots you a dirty look. Guess everyone isn't cut out for apothecary work.

"Just finished!" Artemis says. "So glad to see you lot back. Do you have the peppers?"



You hand over the peppers and Apollo and Artemis get to work. They flatten the peppers one by one, collecting the juices in a vial. They then mix the contents of the vial with the beige-ish liquid that has been secreted by the Yellowfennel. When mixed together, the two potion ingredients turn a vibrant shade of green. The apothecary Pokemon then collect the green liquid in a vial and then hand said vial to you. The Green Vitality Tonic emits a strange light in your hands.

"All done," Apollo says. "While you take this to Virizion, we think we're going to head to Feizhi Outpost. Like we said earlier, the Musketeer Pokemon have been good to us. We only want the best for them, so it makes sense for us to try to defend the Mysterious Rainforest against intruders. We wish you the best in your endeavours, human. Perhaps we'll meet again."

‡ Round 119 ‡

With the tonic in your possession, you and Zent hop aboard Marauder before shooting off into the skies. You soar high above the ground, peering around the horizon. You know the Old Village lies to the north-east. You can make out the tall shape of Ffeffni Mountain to the north.

S'not too late to go back to Ffeffni if you really wanna... it's your adventcha, after all!

‡ Round 120 ‡

You spur Marauder to head north-east, leaving behind the wasted landscape as you proceed toward the Old Village. Instead of landing in the middle of things, you touch down just outside of the village near a large welcome sign. Suddenly, you see movement and you duck behind the sign for cover.




The group appears to be looking around for something, checking in every waste bin and abandoned shop.

‡ Round 123 ‡

You head down a deserted side-street in search of clues. After several minutes, you reach the crescent where the prison entrance was located. Instead of finding the house that contained the entrance to the prison tunnels, you come across a square lot filled with smoking, charred ruins. It appears to have been destroyed relatively recently. Across the road, you see a group of wild cats gossiping madly.



Zentillion lets out a sudden cry and gestures to the sidewalk. It appears to be covered in a series of small, white blotches. You bend down and run your finger across one of the blotches. It's soft and smooth... like wax.

After a moment, you realize the wax blotches form a trail that leads away from here.

‡ Round 124 ‡

Trying to look casual, you and Zentillion amble up the street, following the trail of wax. It winds around a corner, leading you to what used to be a small business district. Eyes glued to the ground, you follow the path... until it suddenly ends. You find yourself staring face-to-face with a chubby pink creature.



It lets out a jolly cry and licks the wax off the ground. Wait, what? It... it eats wax? This is worse than that shoe-eating Abomasnow! With that, you find yourself without a trail to follow any longer. You peer around your surroundings and see a number of buildings including a deserted delicatessen, hotel, Contest Hall and Poke Mart. You also see an abandoned alleyway.

You quickly dart into the Contest Hall, which is old and carries the hanging stench of mould. The floor creaks and groans as you approach what once must have been a registration counter. A Stunky is now curled up in the old stained typist's chair that sits on the far side of the counter. The tiny Pokemon appears to be sleeping.



You see no sign of anyone, but then you hear it: some pained moans are coming from the nearest auditorium. Before you can move, you hear a man's voice from out in the street.

"Perhaps we should search this old Contest Hall next?"

You wake Stunky. The little Pokemon peers at you irritably and belches out a massive cloud of SmokeScreen laced with Haze and Poison Gas. You step back, holding your shirtsleeve to your face, as the room rapidly fills with dark, roiling smoke. Suddenly, you hear the door to the Contest Hall swinging open. You can't see the workers as they stumble inside and they can't seem to see you. This might be helpful.

"What the hell's going on in here?" one of the workers asks, coughing. "It smells like melting rubber! I think I'm gonna throw up."

You can still hear the pained moans coming from the auditorium.

‡ Round 128 ‡

Trying not to inhale more dead elephant fetus than absolutely necessary, you rush into the auditorium where the smoke is only just starting to trickle in. Your eyes immediately travel to the stage, which is empty, as you walk down an aisle in search of the source of noise. After a moment, sitting on the ground in the middle of a row of seats, you see the shapes of Virizion and your dear Litwick.

The moaning, you realize, isn't coming from Virizion. The Legendary Pokemon is lying there, pale and unmoving, and once again you're led to question whether it's even still alive. Harial, on the other hand, is whimpering with exhaustion, its flame little more than a feeble speck of light. After all those Energy Balls, your Pokemon appears to have run out of energy.

Suddenly, out in the lobby, you hear one of the workers shout something.

"Hey, I have an idea! Makuhita, blow this smoke away with Whirlwind!"

Aw, crap. Friggin' Makuhitas and their nonsensical movepool.

‡ Round 129 ‡

You try to pop the cap off Virizion's medicine, but the steel fastener won't budge. You squirm and struggle but can't seem to get it unstuck. How the hell did two floating rocks without hands manage to fasten the bottle so friggin' tightly?

Suddenly, you hear a gusting noise from the lobby and you can only assume the Makuhita managed to pull off its Whirlwind. Two of the search parties you met outside flood in and see you standing over Virizion and Harial.




"Wait a sec," one of the men say. "I know who that guy is. He's not one of us... he's the jungle man who busted out of Cellblock A this morning!"

I'll save it, and then you guys can toss me back in the jail and continue with your mini mall plan or what have you."

Man we need to make some space. Zent, carefully open this bottle. Harial, you stay on my shoulder. Back toward the stage, Maraud and I will carry Viriz to the stage.

‡ Round 130 ‡

You give your speech, summon Marauder from his Pokeball and begin to heave Virizion's body toward the stage. "Careful" doesn't exactly come naturally to Zentillion, but your Tyranitar does her best to open the bottle of tonic without crushing it to pieces. After a bit of wiggling, she finally undoes the steel fastener. Meanwhile, the men are scratching their heads in confusion.




"So... wait, what?" one of the workers asks. "What are we supposed to do? He's saying he'll let us lock him up again."

"Yeah, but look what he handed to his dino-thing!" another one shouts. "It's a friggin' potion! He's going to revive the Legendary Pokemon... and that's the exact opposite of what the Boss wants!"

"Oh, right," the first one says. "Croagunk, use Thief!"

As you climb the steps onto the stage, the Croagunk races toward you. It swats Zentillion on the snout and snatches the Green Vitality Tonic out of her hands.

‡ Round 131 ‡




The men don't respond, sharing guarded looks with one another. There seems to be something they know that you don't. Marauder, meanwhile, lets out a piercing cry and swoops in toward Croagunk, stealing the tonic from him. She veers behind Zentillion who whips up a Protective shield, but the men don't seem ready to simply throw in the towel just like that.

"Tyrogue," one of the men cry. "Combo time: Feint and Thief together!"

Tyrogue performs a running-jump and, with a single agile bound, crosses the auditorium to land on the stage. Using a cunning side-step maneuver, it somehow dives around the Protection, lands a weak hit on Zent and then smacks Marauder in the beak. The wiry fighter nicks the potion right from her claws.

Suddenly, Virizion begins twitching. It seems to be alive, then... but since it hasn't had an Energy Ball in quite some time, these twiches might be the last thing the Pokemon ever does.

Continuing your little game of hot potato, Marauder Thieves the potion back and flies behind the moth-eaten stage curtain, out of sight. Before the workers can command another Feint/Thief combo, Zentillion slams her weighty foot against the ground, causing the old auditorium to shake and shimmy about. This derelict building doesn't seem to be built for such abuse.

Suddenly, great slabs of concrete begin to fall from the ceiling. You watch as weathered columns begins to topple over. The Contest Hall looks as though it's caving in. At that moment, Virizion's twitches escalate to full-fledged convulsions. It's life or death: the Pokemon needs energy.

The workers shout and begin to scramble. They leave the building through the front doors while you, on the other hand, roam the stage in search of an exit. Harial, however, resists your attempt to recall him. Using whatever energy he has left, he scurries out into the sea of seats and retrieves something from the spot where he and Virizion were crouched when you first found them. It appears to be a large folder. He runs back and places the folder in your hands before returning to his Pokeball.

Eventually, you find an exit and hurry out as the Contest Hall continues crumbling behind you. You find yourself in an empty alleyway beneath the setting sun. Finally, Marauder administers the tonic on Virizion as you recall your Staraptor to his Pokeball. A dazzling swell of green light erupts around you and, when the light clears, you see the Legendary Pokemon standing proudly before you.

"I can most certainly do that, human," Virizion says. "The humans caught me unawares once, but it will certainly not happen again. My brothers and I devote ourselves to the defence of victimized Pokemon everywhere. While I cannot divulge their exact locations, I can promise they are elsewhere in the Safari Zone protecting those that require protection. Now, human, I suggest you look at that folder in your hands. When the humans discovered your brave Litwick in my cell, they tried to capture us. We just barely managed to escape, but as we did, your young partner came across that and thought it looked pertinent. Now, if you'll excuse me, I would like to exact vengeance on my captors."

Virizion trots out of the alleyway as Zentillion takes watch. Suddenly, you hear vicious roars and terrified shouts coming from the nearby street. It's the sound of revenge.
