Pokémon Reborn Screenshot Let's Play: Chapter 17

Well…hello again, everyone. The end of college is slowly creeping towards my location, but Pokémon continues to be my rock in these trying times! Although, given the revelations of the last chapter, that may be turning into a double-edged sword with all these twists and betrayals…and we’re not even past the third Gym yet! I’m terrified for what’s coming next in this play session alone, to say nothing of the rest of the game!

There’s gonna be a lot to do in this part, no doubt- but first, we need to go over what happened in the previous chapter to lead us to where we are now.

Xera continues her expedition through Rhodochrine Jungle, finding the way to the PULSE blocked by yet more vines.

After clearing one half of the vines blocking the way forward, Xera overhears a conversation between several Team Meteor members: a Grunt, as well as two higher-ranking members, a Private currently dubbed Agent Grass and an admin currently called Commander Ponytail. Commander Ponytail discusses how a “demonstration” in North Obsidia Ward is just about ready, and he takes his leave- but not before planning to take Victoria with him.

While continuing to explore, Xera encounters and catches a Shiny Scatterbug, who she names Monarch.

Finding her way back to Beryl Ward and to Beryl Library, Xera encounters a stranger searching for books. The person politely greets her and asks if she’s heard of a phenomenon called “dreamsickness.” She has not, and the stranger takes their leave.

Xera briefly returns to the Reborn City Police Department, having found all four missing police officers as well as the Growlithe of the fifth, who was found deceased. As thanks for her help, the chief allows Xera to take the Growlithe with her; she accepts, gaining Blaze the Growlithe.

Back in Rhodochrine, Xera finds Amaria. She has followed Borealis’ trail to Rhodochrine, and has also been able to confirm several of Team Meteor’s leading officers are guarding the PULSE. It seems, due to losses of the PULSEs in Obsidia and Jasper Wards, Team Meteor is now on high-alert.

Xera finds another abandoned house, the man inside wanting to start growing food so he can continue to live in the jungle- and for that, he needs a Sunkern. Xera trades Summer the Sunkern to him in exchange for Deci the Carbink (and an Exp. Share).

With the path clear, Xera is able to approach the PULSE, which is guarded by Borealis, ZEL, Taka, and Ace (Agent Grass is there too, off to the side in her own world). The Meteor admins are quick to corner her as well as reveal Amaria’s hiding spot- but luckily, Fern, Cain, and Heather arrive to provide backup for the duo. As each Trainer engages a different Meteor officer, Xera is free to confront Ace.

Xera is successfully able to defeat Ace and shut down the third Tangrowth PULSE- but just as she claims victory, Heather is suddenly thrown back and knocked unconscious, having been beaten by Agent Grass. Borealis reacts in horror to this, ordering his Crobat to fly Heather someplace safe.

Agent Grass and Ace confront Borealis about his decision to let Heather- an enemy- escape, with Agent Grass in particular deeming Borealis a traitor. Before she can take further action, however, Amaria rushes in to hold her back, buying time for both Borealis and Xera to escape back to Beryl Ward.

Running down the only street into Beryl Ward, Borealis is ambushed by the RCPD- thanks to Xera finding the officers, they were able to put together a sting operation and trap for Borealis at Amaria’s behest. 

The police chief unmasks Borealis, revealing his true identity: Corey Molinar, former Gym Leader, and Heather’s father. Corey derides the chief for trusting him solely because he was once a Leader, then manages to escape in a cloud of mist. The chief orders the officers to search for Corey at his residence.

So yeah- Corey was one of the villains all along! I may have guessed it ages ago, but I’m still sad about being right! So very sad! And now we have to confront the consequences of our actions and Borealis/Corey’s- mostly the latter’s, though- and…I guess meet up with the officers at wherever Corey’s house is? Oh boy, this chapter is going to wreck me, I’m getting bad vibes from all of this-

How things seem to be going lately

[crystal-archives]

Under dim light and guilt from being an spy

[moved-to-void-kissed]

..Okay, I still need to work some things out, but, I'm doing this.

From now on, there is another character I romantically selfship with! This is Elena Molinar, another character from Pokémon Reborn. She may only appear directly in one postgame quest, but she is very cool and pretty and I love her.

Here she is, along with some dialogue from the game to show you what she's like:

The developers described her as "chaos incarnate", and she's brilliant. Elias is fully deserving of the roasts.

My tag for her as a character is "love: soaring skyspectre (elena)", based on her extremely neat Trainer title, while the tag for my selfship with her is "selfship: birds in the night sky (elena/adriana)". As you can see from that, I'm using my pre-existing self-insert Adriana to selfship with her, but this selfship is in a very different version of events to the "default" circumstances where Adriana is with Luna. At the moment, I have it where Adri arrives in Reborn about 15-20 years earlier than she does normally, though at the same age, so she has a different role in the story by the time the player arrives; this is called the early arrival AU. However, I might change this, I don't know yet.

I still have a lot of details I need to work out to make this selfship fit into the story, especially considering the fact that Elena's in-game marriage and murder are both kind of important plot points, but.. I still want to do this, so I thought I'd make a post about it. The carrds are already updated to the necessary extent!

[amethystblack]

How did Elena Molinar looked like? Tell me her appearance and personality, plz🙏

let’s see, there is a sprite of her in the graphics/characters folder... trchar103.

as for personality, mm, there’s very little stated in game about it, but i imagine she must’ve been the ultra carefree type. doesn’t care what others think, doesn’t care about responsibilities or consequences... which is probably what causes corey to become hyperfocused on those things after she passes. if only she had been more careful, right?

Chapter 33- Part 2

Now then, time to figure out what's going on with this place- sheesh, even more pink and purple…

And the creepy little Tangrowth vines are back, lovely. But I guess I can't be too weirded out- the green from these and the rocks nicely breaks up the deluge of magenta from the ground, so I should thank them for saving my eyes from burning!

I also don't think we'll have much trouble sneaking up on Team Meteor either. I mean, just look at those grass patches, Cain can so easily camouflage into them, his hair would blend right in! They'll never see him coming!

Speaking of green-

Okay how is that building in the ground like that? Did it just drop out of the sky, or does this Jell-O go deeper than I thought?

Actually, speaking of the ground…the more I look at the grass patches, the more I wonder…is this place Corrosive Field? Guess we'll see whenever I run into a battle of some sort.

Well, one of those items is nicer, even if it's not that helpful at this level in the game.

That is NOT Corrosive Field! Another entirely new Field, cool- hopefully I'll come across the Field Read-Out sooner instead of later.

They've even got gravestones here? Do they say anything special-?

Huh!? “Molinar”!? Isn't that Heather and Corey's last name!?

Corey's grave, too?? So uh- okay, not only do we have a name for Heather's mom now, but…you're telling me THIS place is where the two of them were buried? Seriously? No, that can't be right.

I think it's more like the gravestones probably got…snatched up by whatever PULSE is responsible for making all this debris pile up. Still, interesting choice for the game to show me the graves of Heather's parents at this point in time…

Oh, I can walk over these? Good to know.

Fitting, and…is that a Gym sign?

This is not the Beryl Ward Gym! Did the PULSE match the Beryl Ward Gym sign too? When did that happen?

And an impassable ledge- well, I can't find anything I missed up here (at least nothing I can get to or use, like that steel railing up there), so no use putting it off.

What!? That's just straight-up the gate leading to Apophyll Academy! And I'm certain that didn't get stolen at any point! 

I…oooooh, wait a second, I think I understand what's going on now. The debris isn't being directly yoinked from their proper places throughout the region, the PULSE must be…copying the items, and depositing those duplicates here in the Wasteland. That would explain why the Academy gateway and Beryl Ward Gym sign are here, and it would also explain why Elena and Corey's gravestones are here too, because they certainly weren't buried here.

And yet, the Wasteland still only sees fit to drop Shards…but there's a guy over there, that's new!

Oh, that's what that one beam in the first area was? I was wondering why Xera couldn't do anything with it. So then, do I just-

Okay, so it's just a ledge but with more steps- literally. But I do see another tombstone, whose is this one?

…Just had to remind me of what happened last time right away, didn't you, game? The audacity of this wasteland…

But there…I see you behind the rock, I would very much like to have you, and I am GOING to get you. Well- after looking around this area a bit more.

Alright, not much else to see here I suppose.

And so, looks like the only place to go now is into that partially submerged building, lovely.

Alright, several different paths to take it looks like, but let's see if there's anything to see on this hill…besides the other Gym sign.

…ah- okay, I'll be honest, I did not mean to jump down that ledge. I didn't even know that was a ledge, I was just trying to interact with that shrub, and- yeah. 

Well, now that I'm here…might as well look around.

That's something!

And that's for Rock Smash- but since I don't know if I'm supposed to go that way or not, I'm gonna keep looking around here.

Oh, that's much better! Thanks, random barrel!

Alright, nothing else down here, time to head up.

Also very nice, however I see an opening in the wall over there, however however I don't know if the plot’s gonna progress up there, so I'm just gonna go back to that one hill and down that beam.
