Once you step outside, your first Objective is given: Find Keola’s dad in the Fillbur Wilds.

You can now press the L Button to switch Auto-run on or off.

Check the top left corner next to Keola’s house, there’s a hidden Oran Berry.

On the right side of the house is a breakable rock, make a note of that for when you’ve got Rock Smash. Down by the beach you’ll see a scalable wall on the left, with a TM ball at the top.

The Pharmacy is run by an old couple, they can’t help you at the moment since you don’t have any Pokemon…but the old man has a red speech bubble above his head that is worth noting.

Speak to the man who is standing by the sink in the eastern house, he’ll give you an Adrenal Orb.

There are 4 street lamps, check the spot under the far right one for a hidden Pearl.

Then carry on eastward out of the village.

Have a closer look at any of the 3 palm trees which you’ll see when you arrive, Micah notes that there are some loose pieces of wood.

Head up onto the first slope and go to the left, there’s a Potion that you can pick up. The game then lets you know about the different kinds of items that can be found in the overworld and their respective icons: Poke Balls for, well, Poke Balls; Potions represent healing items; Evolution Stones for Evolution Stones, golden Poke Balls for TMs, Stardust for treasure items that can be sold; items which can’t be specifically identified they are represented by the parcel icon; Repels and status healing items each have their own icons (Repel and Antidote).

Go back to the right and climb up the green vines along the rock wall to the next slope (just press Up to climb). On your left as soon as you’re on that slope, check that spot for a hidden Cheri Berry.

Then there’s a situation happening on the right, a man is being confronted by a trio of Timburr. He tries to tell them that he’s not there to be a bother. Micah steps in to help, even though he has no Pokemon of his own. The man says he’s got some that he is supposed to deliver but this is an emergency so he lets Micah choose one:

Bulbasaur – The Tiny Bulb Pokemon
Level: 5
Type: Grass/Poison
Ability: Overgrow
Moves: Tackle, Growl, —, —

Cyndaquil – The Fire Mouse Pokemon
Level: 5
Type: Fire
Ability: Flash Fire
Moves: Tackle, Leer, —, —

Mudkip – The Mud Fish Pokemon
Level: 5
Type: Water
Ability: Torrent
Moves: Tackle, Growl, Water Gun, —

Then it’s time for your very first battle and your opponent is a Level 2 Timburr representing the trio. A short and sweet battle, enough to send the 3 Pokemon away afterwards. The man is grateful and is concerned that his wife and daughter might be worried about him…Micah puts 2 and 2 together and it turns out that this is Keola’s dad.

Micah tells him what happened and has a favour to ask of him. He invites Micah to the family for dinner and is eager to learn the whole story. That concludes your very first Objective. After Keola’s dad leaves, you can continue exploring this area. One cool feature in the game is the EV/IV screen, which you get to by pressing A at the Stats screen in a Pokemon’s Summary. You’ll see the Pokemon’s Happiness/Friendship level as shown by a percentage and the Pokemon’s Hidden Power type too.

Just up ahead is a cave entrance that is currently blocked by a large boulder. There’s not an HM in the entire Pokemon franchise that can deal with it, but the game hints that the boulder could be gone later on. Noted.

Below the stairs south from the entrance is an Antidote. Climb down the vines on the right from the entrance and make your way down to ground level. You’ll see 2 trees side by side on the right, check the spot by the wall next to them for a hidden Oran Berry.

There’s another spot further to the right near 3 trees, you’ll find a 3rd hidden Oran Berry there.

Head to the left, you’ll see a Poke Ball above the ledge next to the pond. That’s all you can do in the Wilds for now so return to the village. At the Pharmacy you can now purchase items:

Poke Ball P200
Potion P200
Honey P900

You can start catching Pokemon right away, no need to wait until getting a Pokedex first. Be sure to catch an extra Rookidee for a future trade. As for the old man, he just wants to trade his Popplio for a Farfetch’d. We’ll get back to him about that later.

Also catch 3 Timburr and raise one of them into a Conkeldurr, you’ll need those 3 Pokemon for the final Quest much later. Save them in Storage if you have to.

Back at Keola’s house, Keola’s dad says that he would be glad to help Micah but unfortunately his boat is damaged, which is why he was in the Wilds gathering wood from the palm trees in order to repair it. Micah wonders if maybe he can help the man out and a new speech bubble icon has appeared above dad’s head. Speak to him and agree to gather the wood for him, this will then trigger his Quest.

The game goes on to explain the system, which allows for multiple Quests to be going on and you can cancel pending Quests by talking to their providers.

[q1] Palmtree Panic
Collect Palmtreewood for Keola’s Dad!
Location: Fillbur Isle
Objective: Fillbur Wilds

He says he just needs 6 pieces of Palm Tree Wood, found on the ground at the bottom of a palm tree. No problem. Head back to the Wilds and upon reaching a palm tree press A to collect a piece.

Afterwards go back to Keola’s dad to complete the Quest. He says he’ll have the boat fixed up by dawn and then you two will set sail, great. Dinner follows and Micah calls it a day soon afterwards.

The next day Micah is up and it’s time to go. If you need to heal up just speak to Keola’s mom. When you’re ready head for the pier, you’ll see Keola’s dad is already waiting with the boat. As soon as the trip begins, the scene suddenly changes and Micah finds himself elsewhere: another seemingly empty place, this time possibly in his own head because a few characters appear one by one to talk to him and try to reason with him about what he’s going through. But he ends up dismissing them, because he just wants to be free and work alone.

When he wakes up again Micah is still in the boat and Keola’s dad tells him that they are close to reaching Marrgon City. Then he has a favour to ask: the Pokemon that he was supposed to deliver are for an assistant to someone named Professor Aspen (hmm, any relation to Pokemon Wish’s resident Professor of the same name…?). This assistant will arrive in Marrgon City to collect the Pokemon and perhaps that might lead to Micah meeting Aspen, who could fix the ITPNav. But Keola’s dad doesn’t know what the assistant looks like, only aware that they are a rookie. Despite this minor snag, Micah is certain he’ll find them and thanks dad.

Our very first stop on the mainland and you arrive to find that the assistant isn’t there waiting. How odd. 2 hours go by and still no sign of them, what’s going on here?? Micah decides that he’ll continue on his own to search for the assistant so that dad can return to his family in case they are worried. He gives Micah the two other Pokemon and leaves, then the game informs you that Micah can’t use those Pokemon until they have been delivered. A new Mission begins, its Objective states that you must find information about Prof. Aspen and deliver the Pokemon. Alright, let’s have a look around the city while keeping eye out for the assistant.

Just across the dock where you landed there’s a Sailor with another boat, he usually transports people to various places but not you (yet).

Move up to street level and check the scalable wall next to the first house that you’ll reach, there’s something sparkling at the top of the wall. What could that be?

South from there is a bespectacled man standing next to a red van that has a busted engine.

Since you’re a Pokemon Trainer, he hopes you can help restore the engine’s charge by using an Electric-type Pokemon, specifically Minun and Plusle. They are found in the Marrgon Foothills, although they are rare.

[q2] Busted Engine
Bring a Minun and a Plusle to fix the car!
Location: Marrgon City

West from that man is the Pokemon Center, you’ll see a journalist and her cameraman filming outside the building. Micah ends up being pulled in and asked to comment about an “R-Drama” that’s called Sors. This reminds him of his time in the Hupest region, but he doesn’t know much about the show so he can’t really comment. The journalist figures out that he’s new around here and explains that R-Dramas are popular in this region. After the report she talks about Aspen, whom she would like to interview someday but because he recently moved his lab the journalist doesn’t know where the man is currently. However, there are rumours which say that one of his former assistants lives in this city. He was fired, but the journalist hopes you can find him and gather some information for an article.

In the Pokemon Center you’ll see a booth on the left, that’s for the Move Tutor and Name Rater services as well as for Mystery Gifts. You can’t use the Mystery Gifts service until you have a device which has the Regris Net. By the main desk there’s the usual Nurse and now there’s also a Doctor who can check your Pokemon’s EVs, IVs and Pokerus. Even after all my years as a Pokemon fan there are still many things that I don’t know much about, such as Pokerus. I’ve only seen it mentioned here and there but it hasn’t been something which I’ve experienced in any of the official and non-official games that I’ve played so far. Maybe someday…

The man in the house next to the Pokemon Center wants to trade his Servine for a Staravia.

The former assistant lives in the northwest building. He had been part of a group from the Qendro City lab that was researching the traces of ancient ruins when their director was moved to another group one day. Aspen was his replacement and he never got along with the assistant, which led to him firing the assistant later. He doesn’t have any with other assistants so he doesn’t know about the one that Micah is looking for, but the good news is that Micah has found out where Aspen could be.

Next door from that building, on the second floor, is a Youngster who’s looking for a Milotic to trade for his Froakie.

Return to the journalist and give her the news about Aspen. It turns out that Qendro City is the region’s capital and this has the potential for quite the scoop, so the journalist thanks Micah and is gone in a flash. Another 2 hours go by and Micah decides to travel to Qendro City, maybe he’ll meet the missing assistant along the way. Marrgon City’s western exit leads to the Marrgon Foothills, off we go.

Once you’ve caught Plusle and Minun put them in the first and second positions of your party then go back to help the guy recharge his car engine. As a reward for this, he’ll give you an Exp. Share.

Back in the Foothills, you’ll see a Potion in an upper left corner of the grass off the dirt road. Southwest from the road is a scalable rock wall that has another sparkling item above it. Before climbing onto the first slope, you’ll see a patch of grass next to a pair of trees, check that patch for a hidden Tiny Mushroom.

Cameron is on the first slope, your very first opponent in the game.

Youngster Cameron

On the left from there are a couple of skinny trees keeping you from reaching a treasure item and a cave entrance, so continue up the dirt road to Nate and the next slope.

Prize: P60

On the next slope there’s a TM ball on the right, can’t be picked up yet because you can’t smash rocks, but you can pick up a hidden Pecha Berry from the grass spot in the middle of the slope.

As you move up to the 3rd slope, Micah stops and notices two strangers on a rock bridge ahead. They seem to be in the way of a green-haired girl who is in a hurry.

She asks nicely for them to leave, but they won’t move. After speaking to each other about her, the two strangers seem to have an idea of who she is and offer to escort her, but she declines and runs off when the strangers become rude again. They chase after her and Micah decides to follow them so he can help the girl. Before crossing the rock bridge, you’ll find a boy who has a Quest to offer: his sister has gone off on her own and the boy can’t find her.

[q3] Lost Sis
Find the boy’s little sister in Qengon Cavern!
Location: Marrgon Foothills

Cross the rock bridge and on the other side, check the grass spot in the southwest corner for a hidden Chesto Berry.

On the ice slide to the middle spot then to the southwest spot to get an Ether. You’ll see 2 rock pillars on the right, slide to the one that’s further to the right then down, right, up, right and down to pick up a Zinc. Return to the middle spot, slide up, right, down, right, up, right and off the ice. Head for the ladder on the north side back to 1F and then exit the cave. You’ll step out in the area under the rock bridge, there you can pick up your very first TM54 False Swipe. Return to B1F and make your way to the south side, you’ll see a Hiker with a Quest but you can’t talk to him because your focus immediately goes to the green-haired girl and her chasers. She climbs a ladder next to her to B2F while the strangers close access to south ice floor. After that group goes, you can chat with the Hiker. He’s looking for a special item known as an Ice Pearl which can be found in the cavern.

[q4] Icy Pearl
Find the Ice Pearl in the cave!
Location: Qengon Cavern

Before climbing down the ladder, continue further to the left to pick up an Ice Heal and climb the ladder that’s there back to 1F and exit the cave. You’ll step out by the section which is blocked by skinny trees, now you can pick up the Nugget which is here. Back into the cave and back to the ladder in B1F.

-B2F-

As soon as you arrive, use the Itemfinder to locate a hidden Tiny Mushroom from the mushrooms in the upper right corner.

Go down the steps and check the grass spot on the right for a hidden Hard Stone.

Continue all the way down to find a Super Repel and then it’s time to confront the 2 strangers. They’ve cornered the girl, who stands between them and a gap in the pathway. Micah steps in to help and we end up with a Double Battle against these shady looking “policemen”.

Lv7 Budew [Grass/Poison]
Prize: P280

After the Thugs are sent running, Micah and the girl chat for a bit and despite the help, she claims she could’ve handled this on her own if the numbers weren’t against her. Then she hurries off without thanking Micah. Now he has to get through the caves and reach Qendro City.

Make your way back to B1F and this time you’ll see Kyle in the middle spot. More Trainers are in the cave too.

Black Belt Kyle
Lv7 Makuhita [Fighting]

Just before hitting the street, you’ll see a Picnicker in orange who wants to trade his Volcarona for an Arcanine. Damn, that’s quite the trade there. Look both ways before crossing the road then speak to the Ace Trainer near the signboard, he’ll give you a Heal Ball. Just to the right from the signboard is a manhole cover, look there for a hidden Full Heal.

Then head north into the Gate.

It really is a big city, making Micah wonder how he’ll locate Prof. Aspen. He figures maybe he should look for an academy. We’ll look out for that as we explore. At the Pokemon Center you’ll find new items being sold as well as a couple of TMs:

Poke Ball P200
Great Ball P600
Potion P200

In the lobby of the apartment building to the left of the Pokemon Center there’s a girl who wants to trade her Torchic for a Rufflet. Move up to the next floor and speak to the employee by the bottom left computer, he’ll give you a Link Cable. The building to the right of the Pokemon Center is the Link Terminal, it is only open to Trainers who have a Pokedex.

Go west from the Pokemon Center and enter the building. You’ll find the janitor in the lobby, he’ll give you a Room Service held item. On the next floor you’ll find an Office Lady with a Quest: the computers here have been super slow and she suspects that it’s a hardware issue. One Pokemon which she thinks could help is a Joltik.

North from the Pokemon Center block is a Collector who wants to trade his Oshawott for a Furret. He’s standing near Qendro Mall, which is currently having some renovations being done. West from there is a Gate which is blocked by a couple of people.

East from the Pokemon Center block is another Gate, you can buy vending machine drinks there but can’t go through yet because there’s an investigation going on. Make your way to the northeast section of the city to reach the Academy.

Nothing of note in the lobby so on move up.

Micah notices that there’s a security barrier in front of the north door, and as he wonders what’s inside he hears someone shouting. A new character shows up and interacts with a wall to disable the barrier. This is Prof. Aspen, at last.

Micah follows him into his lab and as he explains to Aspen, the assistant arrives…and you guessed it, it’s the same girl who had those 2 Thugs chasing after her. The assistant had been looking for an unnamed old man in the city but couldn’t find him and when she sees Micah, they get into a mini argument until Aspen breaks it up. Micah delivers the 2 Pokemon but is allowed to keep the Starter which you picked in the Fillbur Wilds. Mission Accomplished. Then Aspen introduces himself, not only as a professor in the academy but also the leader of the Ruin Researchers. They study ruins in order to find out about this region’s past and history. The group has found 3 stone tablets which show 3 Pokemon that Aspen is determined to obtain because he believes they can help to solve Regris’ mysteries. As for the assistant, her name is Olean and she’s a student at the academy while also helping Aspen.

Once you can move again, you can speak to the Scientist on the left who has a Quest:

[q6] Catch Some of Them!
200 Pokemon in your Pokedex! Either by catching or breeding.
Location: Qendro Academy

Completing this one will get you the Oval Charm…

…and one more Quest. Guess how many Pokemon are wanted this time?

[q7] Catch ’em All!
400 Pokemon in your Pokedex! Either by catching or breeding.
Location: Qendro Academy

You’ll get the Shiny Charm after this one.

Speak to Aspen again and after Micah brings him up to speed, Aspen agrees to fix the ITPNav. He gives Micah a RePhone, something to use in the meantime because it has the same functions as the ITPNav.

One of the Scientists suddenly loses with one of the researchers, they were last located at Lake Falahte. Olean offers to go and investigate because she has been there before. Aspen lets her go…before asking Micah to go there too and keep an eye on Olean. It’ll be a while before the ITPNav is fixed. Head for the Gate which was blocked by the 2 people and while you’re inside, Olean shows up and of course she’s not happy about Micah helping her. So she challenges you to a battle. Yup, she’s going to be one of those annoying characters…

Trainer Battle
Pokemon Trainer Olean
Lv8 Murkrow [Dark/Flying] {Super Luck}

Lv10 Houndour [Dark/Fire] {Flash Fire} (Expert Belt)
Moves: Leer, Bite, Howl, Ember
Prize: P1000

The start of a beautiful partnership. Olean’s behaviour reminds Micah of another character named Frio and this means he should keep an eye on Olean. The north exit of the Gate is currently blocked because there’s a green Pokemon which is causing trouble in the area beyond. Interesting. Go through the west exit.

You’ll see a Fisherman with a Quest about Shellos.

[q10] Shellos Science
Catch 2 Shellos from Lake Falahte! (same form is fine)
Location: Falahte Lakefront
Objective: Lake Falahte

Once you’ve got 2 Shellos, put them in the 1st and 2nd positions in your party then speak to the Fisherman. As a reward you’ll get the Fishing Rod, very nice. One instead of three, I can roll with that.

Southwest from the Fisherman you’ll find an Awakening on a ledge behind a Lass. Below that ledge is a grass spot and a small rock, check them for a hidden Chesto Berry and a hidden Red Shard respectively.

Then go northwest from the Fisherman to meet Nazar.

Bug Catcher Nazar

Just off to Rafael’s left is a vine that you can climb, at the top of that is a Super Potion. Continue north after Rafael, down the steps then go south to a small area that’s between ledges. There you’ll find a Miracle Seed and a hidden Leppa Berry by the grass spot on the right, you’ll have to make your way back to this area between ledges to reach that grass spot.

To the right from that area is a cluster of trees with a grass spot near them, check there for a hidden Persim Berry.

Further to the right from the trees is a Great Ball next to a scalable wall with some treasure at the top. North from the area between ledges is Alis.

You’ll see Olean and 2 other characters standing near the shore, don’t go there just yet. Continue up to the grass which next to a signboard. There’s a hidden Water Stone in the upper right spot of that grass.

Now go and Olean, she has found the researcher. He has just had his phone destroyed by an unknown boy who has different coloured eyes and a very old fashion of speech.

He doesn’t recognise what the phone was and assumes that the researcher is some kind of sorcerer. He’s also surprised to find the lake here. Olean and Micah step in to rescue the researcher and the boy asks them what they’re doing in “Almian territory at Puel.” This shocks Micah because they aren’t in Almia. The boy mentions that the day before he was being chased by something then ended up here somehow. Now he just wants to return to Puel Town. After he leaves, Micah’s head starts hurting and he appears in another place. Just up ahead he sees someone, who looks like Micah but sounds like someone else that Micah recognises.

It’s the same voice from earlier which talked about a new world. Wherever this place is, this other Micah believes that he can be a god here and can’t be stopped, not even by…

Micah wakes up in a room before the other Micah finishes their sentence. He is back at the Academy. A Scientist shows up to check on him and now that Micah’s awake, she leaves to let Aspen know. Exit the room and you’ll see Aspen and Olean. Olean brought Micah here and told Aspen what happened. It’s very strange to Aspen because the city that boy was referring to isn’t around, instead there’s the lake now….but there are ruins under the lake. Nothing else there has been found by the researchers. Despite this, the Mission has been completed. Speak to Aspen and learn that he has succeeded in fixing the ITPNav. Not only that, it has the Pokedex and DevNav apps installed in it too! The Pokedex app has been upgraded to include stats and Abilities of the Pokemon you’ve caught. Aspen will arrange for Micah to have his own room at the Academy while he is around. Micah goes there and tests out the ITPNav to Lori.

She’s relieved to hear from Micah, it’s been a week since the plane crash. Only Micah and Darlo didn’t manage to leave the plane in time, so Micah believes that he’s somewhere in the region. Lori asks about Micah’s nightmares, which have gotten worse and have some specific elements that concern him. That’s something Lori says they should discuss when Micah returns home. When he tries to call Darlo someone else answers. What the…? The voice is distorted and says it doesn’t know who Darlo is and tells Micah not to call that number again. Whoever that is has Darlo’s ITPNav and this proves to Micah that Darlo is somewhere in Regris. He decides he’ll track the number down the next day.

While Micah goes to bed, the scene changes to another place where we see more of those uniformed Thugs. Some research is going on and someone is working for the group who has found 1 of 4 temples up north. This will please “the Boss” of this organisation.

Once Micah is up again, you can have a look at the Pokedex and the DexNav, which is accessed by pressing Start then Right Directional. To exit your room, interact with the on the wall next to the door. Outside the room is a Lass who’ll give you a Silk Scarf. You can exit the Academy and now that the ITPNav has been repaired and upgraded, you can access the Mystery Gift service at the Pokemon Center. Here are their codes:

Very nice gifts, eh? You can also make use of the Link Terminal’s services next door too. The Colen Net option is functional now as well, it connects you to the Regris Net and you can see the list of s and access the Local Trade System. There are 9 trades currently available:

Valerie – trades Salamence for a Drampa
Azzy – trades Bagon for a Larvitar
Hex – trades Haunter for a Mr. Mime
Mahian – trades Axew for a Zorua
TKAllen – trades Ditto for a Pidgey
Aster – trades Zorua for an Aipom
Kireme – trades Mawile for a Sableye
John Cena – trades Machop for a Happiny
Globox – trades Dreepy for a Gible

While Saiph 2 was still in development Vytron had put out a request for people to send in trades that would appear in the game. Those 9 are examples of those trades and TKAllen is me. Shout out to Vytron for that, it was a nice little idea.

Back at the Academy speak to Aspen. Micah asks him for help in tracking phone calls. Moments later Aspen finds out that the number which Micah called earlier has a signal coming from a place up north called Tempou Town, which has a temple with origins similars to the Lake Falahte ruins. The next Mission begins: Find clues at Tempou Town. Exit the Academy and go through the Gate which leads to the Lakefront, this time the north exit is open.

The first person you’ll see here is a Parasol Lady, she’ll give you a Utility Umbrella. Just up ahead are 2 cops confronting the green Pokemon which we heard about previously. It’s a Sceptile that has lost its owner and is taking out its frustration here, despite the cops trying to reason with it. Micah shows up and he recognises Sceptile as one of his missing Pokemon, nice.

Fortunately Sceptile hadn’t attacked or hurt anyone. Reuniting with it gives Micah hope that he will find the rest of his team. Thanks to having Sceptile, you can use Cut outside of battles. I like this, usually you find games that have HMs which can be deleted or have Key Item substitutes, but here it’s Micah’s team who will take up the role of HMs AND Gym Badge milestones. Just on the left is a small parcel between skinny trees, that’s a Leaf Stone. It is right next to a ledge, you’ll find a Super Potion on it. North from there is a pond, next to it is one Stardust. There are 2 other ponds on the upper left from there, in between a path going west back to the lake. Check the grass spot by the trees above the path for a hidden Chesto Berry.

The path going east to Podeti Trail but you can’t go there yet because there’s construction of a bridge going on. At the center of the route is a Trainer Tips sign, check the grass spot next to it for a hidden Oran Berry.

A nice working town here, let’s have a look around:

Speak to the Farmer next to the Pokemon Center to get a Quick Claw. He’s standing next to a wheat field that has a grass spot, check it for a hidden Leek.

An Ace Trainer in the southwest house wants to trade his Rowlet for a Phantump.

The Day-Care is in the northeast section of town, there’s a hidden Leppa Berry in the wheat field next to it.

Inside the Day-Care is a Scientist with a Quest:

[q11] Little Hunt
30 Pokemon in your Pokedex! Either by catching or breeding.
Location: Tempou Town

You’ll get a Soothe Bell as a reward for completing this one and can receive another Quest from her:

[q12] Not so Little Hunt
100 Pokemon in your Pokedex! Either by catching or breeding.
Location: Tempou Town

Completing this one will get you a PokeWalker, which works like a portable Day-Care by allowing you store one Pokemon and have them gain experience while you travel. Very convenient and just when you think you are done with the Scientist she still has one more Quest:

[q13] Giant Hunt
350 Pokemon in your Pokedex! Either by catching or breeding.
Location: Tempou Town

Complete this to get the PokeWalker+, which lets you put 2 Pokemon in the Day-Care and although you can check for Eggs, if there are any you’d still have to return to the Day-Care to collect them.

Behind the Day-Care are a couple of things:

– A grass spot (check it for a hidden Sitrus Berry)

– A yellow star which indicates a point that can be interacted with, in this case it’s a vine that can be Cut down for you climb. At the top of that cliff is a Moon Stone.

– A Great Ball and a scalable wall that leads to a cave entrance

In the northwest section is the entrance to the Tempou Ruins and someone there who looks like Darlo…

It is Darlo but judging from the way he talks, something has happened to him – he has lost some of his memories after the plane crash (!) and was found by someone he calls a “benefactor”. This person has made Darlo believe that Micah is the reason why he couldn’t be a good Trainer and why he still has his health condition. This catches Micah by surprise but he re that he became the Champion because he was stronger than Darlo and as for the health condition it’s because Shenow destroyed the Shadow Crystal that could have offered a remedy. Micah allowed that to happen and blames himself. Darlo has been given a task now to stop Micah, but he won’t deal with him yet and leaves.

Micah then takes a look at the locked door that Darlo was studying.

Maybe Aspen might know what it’s about. Return to the Academy and speak to Aspen, who notices that Micah doesn’t look so good. He heads off to his room to rest and s Lori to give her an update. She does her best to comfort him and tells him not to blame himself for what Darlo said. Lori says it’ll be some time before she can get to the Regris region because it is quite far from Colen, but until then she encourages Micah to get some rest.

Some time later Olean arrives to check up on Micah, he hadn’t left his room since he arrived and Aspen was concerned (Olean too haha). Micah is okay now and the Mission has been completed despite how complicated things have become. Exit the room and speak to Aspen. Micah tells him what happened and even Aspen didn’t expect things to go this way. One of the Scientists tells him that something has happened to the lab’s systems and they can’t catch any signals. It’s not just the systems, but the TV has been affected too. It’s a signal block which is happening all over the region…then a strange broadcast begins from an unknown location.

It’s from the Regris Government, specifically the new head of the Ministry of Defense, and it warns the people to brace themselves. What’s going on here? This new head sounds familiar to Micah. One of the researchers lets Aspen know that a group of people in military outfits have shown up in Tempou Town and have broken through the locked door of the Tempou Ruins. Micah wants to back to Tempou Town to investigate, but Aspen doesn’t think he should. Olean re that the Thugs who were chasing her had military style uniforms too and identified themselves as the police, which is odd. Aspen agrees to let Micah go and investigate, so he gives him a special badge which makes Micah an Official Ruin Researcher. Olean wants to go too and tags along. The next Mission begins: Investigate around the Tempou Ruins.

When you return to Falahte Lakefront East now you’ll find that there are some Trainers available, starting with Dan.

Back in Tempou Town, you’ll find a researcher standing by the ruins door. She tells you that the uniformed group has raided the ruins after blasting through the door. Damn, hopefully you’re not too late to stop them from doing more damage.

Tempou Ruins

**HMs Needed: Surf, Rock Climb.

-Interior-

Go straight down and watch as Micah and Olean find 2 of the uniformed people.

They are stuck next to a barrier which a large purple crystal is emitting, even though one of the Grunts can read the ancient language written on the stone slab next to the crystal. Their boss and the rest of the group managed to get past it somehow. One Grunt mentions that another crystal can turn the barrier off. Once you can move again, go for the crystal on the upper ledge on the left from where you are standing.

Touch it and watch as the barrier disappears and the pair of Grunts proceed. You can read the message which is on the slab:

Four coigns scattered in Almia..
One in the mountains, one in the desert, one on a volcano and one on an island…

Interesting, any chance we get to travel to Almia at some point? Just past the crystal you’ll see the 2 Grunts who were after Olean previously. They haven’t forgotten about what happened last time and warn that Micah and Olean cannot stop the group, which is identified as the Regressionists. The plot thickens.

Once you can move, turn south if you want to pick up an Antidote from the small room there, then continue going east.

You’ll see a Grunt in a small area studying a wall, he wonders why the group has to secure this place when there is a lot of important history here. Another Grunt nearby has similar sentiments but orders are orders and the Grunt jumps through a hole in the ground.

After the scene ends you can go for the treasure item (Stardust) behind the wall below where the first Grunt was. Follow the same path that he used to reach him.

Just head for the next doorway.

-Interior Room 3-

Be ready because up top are more Grunts that Micah sees and the game even asks you if you are ready.

Not only are Grunts here but that strange boy from Falahte Lake and Darlo are present. The boy wants some answers from Darlo about why he is here, which he identifies as an Almian Temple.

The boy looks familiar to Darlo, although the boy claims to have never met him before. Micah breaks up the little gathering and the boy takes this time to introduce himself as Sina, a knight of the Almian Principality, younger son of King Iph and brother of King Sai. Huh?

Even Micah is baffled by this. Someone shows up, it’s the head of the Ministry of Defense from that broadcast.

He is Darlo’s boss and tells him to return to HQ and await orders. Micah tries to stop Darlo but he is gone right away. The voice of this boss is so familiar to Micah…then the big reveal comes up when the boss turns out to be his old enemy Shenow! What, where, how, why??

He tells Micah that someone called The Traveller told him and now Shenow aims to save this region from Micah. He tells Sina that he is willing to help him find out what’s going on if he deals with Micah. Shenow and the Grunts leave while Micah faces the reluctant knight in a good old fashioned duel.

Sina may have lost but he will continue to search for answers. Olean is still in the dark about what has happened because she heard Micah being addressed as Micah instead of his Game ID alias. As for Micah, he still can’t believe that Shenow is alive.

Olean doesn’t have a full story of what happened between Micah and Shenow but she snaps Micah out of his funk and gets him to focus again. They have to report back to Aspen. You can move up to examine the wall that Darlo was looking it, there’s text on it about tales of Almia that Micah notes could be important later.

There are 2 crytals below on the same platform, the crystal on the right can be interacted with and works as a warp tile back to the Interior area’s entrance.

Back at the Academy, Olean and Micah make their reports to Prof. Aspen to complete the Mission, then Micah sees that Sina is here as well. He was going after Shenow and the Regressionists until he got lost in the city, an unfamiliar place to him when compared to Puel. Luckily he met Aspen who offered to help Sina. He tells his story about being on his way home when he suddenly blacked out. He woke up and found that his city was gone, replaced by Lake Falahte. Micah tells him not trust Shenow or expect any answers from him. Another broadcast begins, from the Ministry of Defense again.

Shenow tells the citizens that they’ve found the threat but now is not the time for Ministry to deal with it. Then he names Micah and gives him a light warning. After the broadcast, Sina asks Micah why he should trust him instead of Shenow. Micah explains everything to Aspen, Olean and Sina, from his real name to what happened in the past with Team Void. Shenow almost succeeded in his scheme to destroy the world and build a new one with the help of Darkrai, but Micah managed to stop him and tried to control Darkrai but wasn’t ready for it. Sina says the people in Almia lived peacefully until Darkrai began terrorising them, forcing the people to go underground and only come out in daylight. Micah starts to wonder if Sina may be from the past because of his outdated way of speaking, identifying this region as Almia and what he has said about Puel which was where the lake is now. Aspen asks Sina what year it was during his time, Sina says 1675 and is shocked to learn that he’s now in 2021. Wow, could he have time travelled?

Olean suggests that they raid the Ministry, but Aspen reveals that they relocated to another place for “security” reasons. Micah then offers that he and Sina should return to the Tempou Ruins and look for clues while Aspen and company find out about the Ministry. The next Mission begins: Look for clues in ruins with Sina!

Return to the Tempou Ruins room where the Almia tales wall is and watch as Sina reads the story that’s written on it, about Darkrai’s presence in the Almia region and the people needing a hero with special powers to fight it. Micah wonders what could have happened to ancient Almia and why Shenow was in the ruins. Aspen s him and says the Regressionists are moving through a place called Agrito Village which is located to the south of the lakefront. Head back to the Falahte Lakefront path which was blocked by the 3 Bidoof, they are gone now.

Sina doesn’t understand why the Regressionists are here, even during his time villages didn’t have much going on in them. Micah says they should speak to the villagers to find out the reason since they called for help…and right on cue someone screams for help. Before we go and find out what’s going on, you can explore a little bit of the village:

On the left from the village entrance is a grass spot, check it for a hidden Lum Berry.

There are 2 houses near that entrance, check the grass spot on the upper right corner of the right house for a hidden X Accuracy.

In that same house you’ll meet an old man named Jurt, a cousin of Kurt from Johto. Hilarious.

I guess in another region there’s Burt, right? Jurt is in the same trade as his more famous cousin, making Poke Balls out of Apricorns:

Black Apricorn = Heavy Ball
Blue Apricorns = Lure Ball
Green Apricorn = Friend Ball
Pink Apricorn = Love Ball
Red Apricorn = Level Ball
White Apricorn = Fast Ball
Yellow Apricorn = Moon Ball

In the left house is a woman who wants to trade her Treecko for an Axew. By that same house is an entrance to a tunnel which leads to the Sabbio Desert. Head towards the Pokemon Center and you’ll see what the big trouble is: there are Bidoof causing havoc in the pumpkin fields. Something might have scared them into going there. The Farmers see Micah and Sina and ask them to help since they are Trainers, so Micah sends out Sceptile. The first Farmer here has some Mulch for sale:

Small Mulch P500
Medium Mulch P1000
Large Mulch P1500

Step into the field behind her and check on the Bidoof on the left, it’ll start glowing all of a sudden and evolves into a Level 16 Bibarel! Defeat it or catch it. That’s enough to send all the Bidoof running and afterwards one of the Farmers thanks you and recommends that you visit the Café. Micah asks him about the Regressionists, the Farmer says he didn’t see anything because he had been sick but he thinks someone in the Café might know something about them. There’s a grass spot on the south side between the left field and middle field, check it for a hidden Tiny Mushroom.

Between the middle field and right field is another Farmer, she’ll give you a Nest Ball. Below her is one more Farmer who has a Quest:

[q14] Applin Picking
Find the Sweet Berry at Falahte Lakefront!
Location: Agrito Village

You’ll find the Sweet Berry in Falahte Lakefront South, specifically the area between ledges. It will be indicated as an overworld parcel and right after you pick it up you’ll get attacked by a Level 15 Applin! It can be caught, good luck.

Applin – The Apple Core Pokemon
Level: 15
Type: Grass/Dragon
Ability: Ripen
Moves: Withdraw, Astonish, —, —

Deliver the Sweet Berry and you’ll receive the Pocket Pot.

Not only can it turn Seeds into Berries but it can turn some Berries into Apricorns.

Agrito Café

You’ll see 2 Ace Trainers near the entrance, both of them are Tutors:

Fire Fang for 4 Red Shards
Ice Fang for 4 Blue Shards
Thunder Fang for 4 Yellow Shards

Fire Punch for 5 Red Shards
Ice Punch for 5 Blue Shards
Thunder Punch for 5 Yellow Shards

You can buy special Lattes here using Apricorns:

Spicy Chai for 5 Red Apricorns
Sour Espresso for 5 Yellow Apricorns
Dry Mocha for 5 Blue Apricorns
Bitter Cappucino for 5 Green Apricorns
Sweet Latte for 5 Pink Apricorns
Plain Coffee for 5 Black Apricorns

Then there’s the curious individual sitting by the counter who is in Regressionist uniform.

He’s having a nice cup of coffee until you speak to him, then he suddenly has to leave and re his group. He wonders if they’ve reached a place called Sabbio Town yet. You know what that means – crossing a desert to reach the next destination. Sounds like a big adventure to me. Exit the Café, gear up and go into the tunnel. You can pick up a Revive from the upper left corner in there before heading south for the exit.

As soon as you arrive what do you find? That gang of Bidoof from the pumpkin fields haha, this is where they ran off to.

They won’t bother you so leave them be and continue down. Micah and Sina see a Garchomp ahead, Sina suspects that it must’ve been what scared the Bidoof earlier. Micah has a closer look at Garchomp and it turns out to be his Garchomp!

Excellent, thanks to it you can now use Rock Smash. There are some places that we can revisit which needed Rock Smash so we’ll go on a backtrack run first before carrying on in the desert. There’s a spot on the right from where Garchomp was, check it for a hidden Rare Candy.

Micah arrives and sees Sina reading a stone tablet. Sina is getting used to the modern language, it’s not too hard for him to grasp. That’s the good news, the bad news is that this place is crawling with the Regresionists. Sina doesn’t recall the original site of these ruins being there during his own time despite how similar the style is. By the entrance where Micah and Sina are standing there’s a big hole in the ground that they can’t cross, but Sina finds a clue on the stone tablet:

“Those who seek the treasure must clear their path…Find the tablets and clear what’s ahead.”

He discovers a lever behind the tablet and that’s what closes the hole. Then he’ll tag along and every battle becomes a Double Battle (wild Pokemon can’t be caught), but if you head for the exit Sina will remain by the tablet. Proceed to the left to find the first pair of Grunts then head north.

By the doorway ahead of them, you’ll split from Sina and can explore the room solo to catch Pokemon. Catch an extra Shuckle for a future trade. Afterwards go through the doorway and you’ll be back outside, this time appearing on the north side of the Sabbio Desert east area. You’ll find a Soft Sand just on the bottom left. Make your way to the south side and before going through the opening on the right, check the spot of dirt on the bottom left from the wall for a hidden X Speed.

The opening leads to the northeast side of the Sabbio Ruins 1F. Here you can pick up a King’s Rock, a Full Heal and you’ll notice something sparkling by the ladder next to the Full Heal – that’s a Pretty Gem, a very curious looking stone that has light coming from it.

Micah decides to hang onto it for now. Don’t descend the ladder just yet, go through the doorway on the right and return outside so you can pick up TM39 Rock Tomb by a ledge.

-B1F-

The ladder brings you down here and just before you go up the stairs, Micah senses an odd presence in the room. Odd but safe somehow.

At the top you’ll find Darlo and Shenow, who has collected yet another important item.

Dammit, we’re too late again and now there are 2 more pieces to be found by this guy. He’s not surprised to see Micah here and can tell that he’s scared despite that Micah has arrived to stop him. Darlo steps forward, ready to face Micah now and Shenow lets him, while brainwashing Darlo. Micah tries to reason why him but no luck…

Darlo is stunned by his loss and for Micah he has had enough of this, so he sends out Sceptile and after telling Darlo that he’s returning with him Micah places Shenow under arrest. Shenow discards Darlo after seeing him fail, a hole in the ground opens underneath Darlo and he falls through. Just as Micah reacts to this, he senses that presence again and suddenly Sceptile changes form (?!) what the…?

Micah can sense Sceptile’s thoughts too and together they confront Shenow. Sina on the other hand is not super thrilled about this sudden power and after a bright flash Sceptile is gone, nothing has happened to Shenow and Micah collapses.

Shenow mocks him for failing to control the mysterious power and prepares to leave. He did have some iration for Micah in the past when he was strong enough to defeat Darkrai but not now after what has just happened. Sina demands to know what has become of Micah and Shenow just says Micah let his emotions get the better of him, on top of having them become corrupted by negative intetions. He orders his officers to take what they’ve found to HQ by helicopter and off they go. Micah wakes up afterwards, much to Sina’s relief. Shenow’s gone and Darlo is missing, but Sina is hopeful that Darlo will be okay. That Pretty Gem which was found earlier seems to be the source of whatever happened to Micah and now it has gone back to normal. Micah suggests that they check out the final stone tablet here then return to Aspen. This is what’s on the tablet:

“A hero of wonders had blessed us with knowledge far beyond…with powers to put up a fight and protect what’s for us…but that was the demise, as it caused division…”

Sina figures out from all the text that the ancient people battled Darkrai and possibly defeated it. Now with this new information about the hero and powers, he wonders if perhaps what happened to Micah is the same “magic” power which the people used.

Although Sina was not there to help his people Micah says he is here now to fight for the future. Afterwards you’ll leave the Ruins and appear back in Qendro City, outside the Academy. The person who wants a Trapinch for the Sobble trade is a Bug Catcher named Mist, you’ll find him in the southwest room of the boy’s dorms section of the Academy. Crest is the Sobble that you get, it comes with a Scope Lens, has Torrent and knows Pound, Water Gun, Bind and Water Pulse. Next door to that room you’ll meet a Battle Girl with a Quest:

[q8] Dorm Champ
Beat the girl’s friends in battles on the floor!
Location: Qendro Academy

First up is Glenn then Sandra in the northwest room.

Lv9 Torchic [Fire]

Then return to the Battle Girl to complete the Quest and from now on you can do Stat training with her. Exit and let’s catch up with the Professor.

After telling Aspen what happened, Micah gives him the Gem and suspects that because Shenow knows something about it his plans might be centered around it.

Aspen checks out the Gem and learns that it emits heat and energy waves. He decides to test it out with the energy sources that are in the Academy archives. Olean wonders why the Regressists haven’t shown up to arrest them all since they are the region’s police and military. Micah believes that since Shenow didn’t know of Micah being in Regris, he wouldn’t want any attention on him and his organisation by arresting Micah and company without any solid reasons for it. Also because Micah works for the International Police, his arrest would be a major problem for Shenow. So Aspen asks how they should deal with him, Micah knows that Shenow is collecting items which are related to the Gem and since he was able to tap into its power he has to learn to harness it. A researcher updates Aspen: although they couldn’t find anything matching the Gem’s energy waves, they’ve found out that there are a lot of signals appearing around the region. These could be from smaller but similar gems. However, a large set of waves has been detected off shore from Marrgon City and likely to be underwater. Micah volunteers to check that out and Aspen asks Olean to go with him while he continues research and Sina stays. The next Mission begins: Find the source of the signal in the Marrgon Sea! Aspen will find someone to move Micah and Olean off shore, then he gives Micah Scuba Gear.

Return to Marrgon City and speak to the Sailor who has the boat.

He takes you to the location and Micah goes under while Olean stays on the boat and communicates with him via the ITPNav.

She lets him know about wild Pokemon that are found in the seagrass and if Micah wants to resurface he just has to come back to the light.

There are points in this area where the current is quite strong, enough to push you back, but you can avoid them.

Make your way to the northwest side, you can pick up a Mystic Water there and to the southwest side for a Dive Ball then continue south to the next area.

When Micah gets here he catches the attention of a Seadra which is near the source of the signal.

Seadra snatches up the source and swims away to the east. Approach Seadra from behind to make it go further east, then from the left side to make it go south and when it gets to the spot where Seadra is facing west, approach it from the top and Seadra goes further south through an opening. Follow after it into that next area and although the currents are stronger there Micah notices that Seadra might be seeking some help.

Seadra – The Dragon Pokemon
Level: 20
Type: Water
Ability: Poison Point/Sniper
Moves: Smokescreen, Leer, Water Gun, Twister

Battle Notes
– Seadra’s Special Attack gets a boost at the start. You can’t catch it unfortunately, gotta knock it out.

Seadra drops the item and leaves afterwards. This is a Luminous C., where the strange energy waves are coming from and it looks like it broke off of something else.

Then the currents overwhelm Micah and he ends up back on the surface…saved by one of his Pokemon Samurott!

Great stuff, Samurott allows you to Surf (finally) and that means a backtrack run later. Right now though Micah is somewhere out at sea, no sign of the boat. He sees a town up north and decides to head there. Olean gets in touch and Micah lets her know about what he has found, some kind of crystal, and tells her about where he is going to next – Podeti Bay. Olean agrees to meet up there. To Surf just approach a body of water and Press A.

Regris Sea [South of Podeti Bay]

**HMs Needed: Surf, Dive, Whirlpool.

You are currently on the southeast side of the area. If you go over to the left you’ll reach a spot that has a familiar barrier – a whirlpool. Something to note for later.

On the east side there’s a Fisherman named Tristan who wants to trade his Roserade Rozenkreux for a Bronzong. Rozenkreux is holding a Life Orb and has Natural Cure. There are 2 Dive spots, the one you resurfaced from and one on the northwest side. Continue north.

Olean is waiting for Micah by the docks, how nice of her to sound so relieved.

The bad news is she and Micah no longer have a boat that can transport them because the previous one had to leave for some business. Micah has checked the map and sees a path which leads to the lakefront from Qendro City, so they might as well walk. Because the signal from the crystal might get Shenow’s attention they better hurry so they can shut off the signal.

There’s an office by the docks, this is where tickets for ferries and ships can be purchased. Perhaps we’ll be back here later.

On the left of the Pokemon Center is a girl with a Quest:

[q17] Of course the Happiny
Have 4 Happinies at the first 4 slots of your party!
Location: Podeti Bay

You’ll find Happiny in the eastern area of Podeti Trail (Level 18 with a 1% rate though, good luck). As a reward for getting those 4 you’ll receive two Eggs from the girl, one Lucky Egg and one Pokemon Egg that contains a Toxel. For those of you who don’t know (or have forgotten), Toxel’s evolution form is based on its Nature:

– Toxtricity Amped Form if the Nature is Hardy, Brave, Adamant, Naughty, Docile, Impish, Lax, Hasty, Jolly, Naive, Rash, Sassy, or Quirky.

– Toxtricity Low Key Form if the Nature is Lonely, Bold, Relaxed, Timid, Serious, Modest, Mild, Quiet, Bashful, Calm, Gentle, or Careful.

Also, you can trade one of those Happiny for LTS trader #8 John Cena’s Machop (approriately also named John Cena haha).

Just east from the Pokemon Center is an outdoor café, go there and speak to the guy on the right if you want to buy Dream Mist. P5000 per unit. You can continue east of town and check out a little bit of Podeti Trail.

Catch an extra Happiny and evolve it into a Chansey, you can trade it for a Chimchar in the post-game. The Parasol Lady here will give you a Lucky Punch, after accidentally hitting you (with a lucky punch…?). The rest of the route is blocked off at the moment because the river has strong currents, we’ll be back later.

On the bright side, this is where you can catch a Mime Jr. and once you have a Mr. Mime you can reach LTS trader #3 Hex and trade for a Haunter named hauntroll. A fitting name because hauntroll is holding an Everstone haha.

Back in Podeti Bay, you’ll find Fatal in the southwest house. He wants a Sneasel in exchange for his Totodile Toda. It is holding an Everstone and has Sheer Force.

Climb up the stairs behind the Happiny Quest girl and you’ll find an Ace Trainer who teaches a few moves:

Power Gem for 1 Red Shards, 1 Blue Shard, 1 Yellow Shard
Drill Run for 3 Green Shards, 2 Blue Shards, 3 Yellow Shards
Mystical Fire for 4 Red Shards, 4 Yellow Shards
Foul Play for 5 Red Shards, 4 Yellow Shards, 2 Green Shards

There’s a hidden X Speed by the grass spot on the left of the Pokemon Center.

Nothing else of note in town until you come back with Rock Climb, so head west.

Micah checks the map and sees another path, which goes through a forest. That can help to hide the signal. Olean flat out refuses to go along that path for some reason and despite Micah’s reasoning, she takes him on in a sudden battle. What the..??

The drama with Olean continues, she’s not a big fan of forests.

It’s not because of the Bug-types, which would make sense, but it’s because she has no fond memories of being in forests. She tags along and this becomes a mini escort mission. You can speak to Olean and for the time being she’s pretty civil with Micah, explaining why she doesn’t like forests (got lost in one as a child while out with her parents) and talking about why she has an attachment to Aspen (whom she sees a big brother who has looked after her while Olean’s parents travelled). Some character development for Olean.

Go to the right then down to a couple of mushrooms near a tree stump, you’ll find a hidden Tiny Mushroom by those mushrooms.

Back to the entrance area and go south to battle Joseph and Mario.

Prize: P656

After descending the stairs go southwest to pick up a Revive then southeast and up the stairs. You’ll find a Miracle Seed behind a skinny tree. Go south and southwest along that high ground to find a White Herb. Head back down to the lower ground and go to the left then up the next stairs. South from there are mushrooms among trees, a hidden Pretty Wing is there, then on the left are Emil and Paterson.

Prize: P1656

Southwest from them is a Bug Catcher who teaches moves but not while you’re tagged with Olean so just make a note of him for later. North from there is a tree stump with moss on it, after ing that you can speak to Olean and she’ll talk about being inspired to become a researcher after seeing Aspen working to uncover Regris’ history. 4 Trainers just up ahead: Ray and Rey on the right while Mack and Winny are on the left.

Further up from there is TM04 Calm Mind and a woman with a Quest:

[q18] Don’t make an Omelette
Hatch the Egg, and show the Pokemon to the lady! (Keep in 1st slot)
Location: Crimseti Forest

A Chikorita will hatch from the Egg she gives you and it will your crew. The reward for completing this is TM86 Grass Knot. Over on the left you’ll meet Glenda and Nansi.

There’s an exit further to the left but it’s not the right one so make a note of it for later. Carry on down to see Greg and his grandson Sammy.

Lv21 Venonat [Bug/Poison]
Lv21 Charmeleon [Fire]
Lv21 Applin [Grass/Dragon]
Lv21 Raboot [Fire]

Just on the right of them are leaves on the ground, you’ll find a hidden Cheri Berry there.

South from there are Kent and James.

Bug Catcher Kent & Ace Trainer James
Lv22 Beedrill [Bug/Poison]
Lv22 Misdreavus [Ghost]
Lv22 Sawk [Fighting]
Prize: P1584

There’s a right turn just below them, you can follow that to get a Net Ball.

Then you’ll reach another exit further down and Olean is relieved.

You should be relieved too because the escort mission ends and you can run solo again. You can catch an extra Pidgeotto and once you have a Pidgey complete the LTS trade #5 for TKAllen’s Ditto Ka(ge)bunshin(no jutsu) which is holding a Lucky Egg. I should’ve requested for it to be Shiny now that I think about it. That move tutor Bug Catcher wants mushrooms in exchange for his services:

Leaf Blade for 5 Big Mushrooms
Signal Beam for 3 Big Mushrooms
Bug Bite for 2 Tiny Mushrooms
Bug Buzz for 4 Big Mushrooms
Worry Seed for 4 Tiny Mushrooms

Also, that exit in the northwest section of the forest can be used now and will take you back to Podeti Trail [West].

You’ll appear near the western end of the bridge, which has been constructed now, and can pick up TM09 Bullet Seed. Surf to the little island in the middle of the lake, there you’ll find Emong and can trade Shuckle for his Excadrill Gnominator. It’s holding a Rocky Helmet, has Sand Rush and knows Mud-Slap, Fury Swipes, Metal Claw and Dig. On the north shore of the lake is a Lure Ball. that Drampa is found here via fishing (1% rate), you’ll need it for the LTS trade #1 with Valerie and her Salamence Alduin. It’s holding a Dragon Fang, has Intimidate and knows Leer, Bite, DragonBreath and Headbutt. Or you can try your luck Surfing to find it in a place called Haruba Village later, although the rate there for it is still 1%.

Return to the forest and follow after Olean.

In the next Podeti Trail area, check the mushrooms next to the route signboard for hidden Leftovers and check the mushrooms on the right for a hidden Big Mushroom, then continue on west.

There’s an ongoing Quest in Qendro City which requires that you have a Joltik and we finally find them here. Check the spot by the upper left corner of the grass for a hidden X Special Attack.

Continue back into Qendro City, go through the Gate and step out just east from the Pokemon Center. There’s quite a bit of backtracking to do now that you can Surf so let’s get that done now before returning to the Academy and continuing the story.

The Great Backtrack: Surf Edition

While you’re back in Qendro City, you can complete the trade with Vytron and get Wotter the Oshawott.

Falahte Lakefront (East)
You’ll find TM18 Rain Dance on the southwest side of the first pond.

Lake Falahte
There’s a cave at the center of the lake that you can reach now but the entrance is currently blocked by one of those giant boulders.

You can stop by Agrito Village and get Rahkan’s Treecko Scale in exchange for an Axew. Scale has Unburden and knows Leer, Absorb, Quick Attack and Mega Drain.

A little labyrinth awaits us here, brace yourself. Head over to the right until you see stairs leading onto the northwest high ground. There are bones just below the stairs, you’ll find a hidden Rare Bone by that spot.

On the high ground there’s a Nugget on the left end. Back to ground level and get to the southwest side, check the bones there for a hidden Root Fossil, nice.

Continue to the right and up the stairs onto high ground, there’s a ladder to be climbed. It leads down to a chamber where you’ll find an Ace Trainer named Paul who wants to trade his regular Trapinch for a Pichu. It comes with a Pecha Berry, has Hyper Cutter and knows Bite, Feint Attack, Bide and Mud-Slap. Nothing fancy. Back to 1F and get to the north side, check the bones there for a hidden Old Gateau.

On top of the stone wall just on the left is TM40 Aerial Ace. On the way down to the southeast side you’ll get to a point in between high grounds, climb onto the left one to pick up a Dusk Ball. Below that high ground are bones, check there for a hidden Dome Fossil.

Continue along the path as it goes northeast and leads to a chamber where you’ll find the Odd Keystone, a cool find and what’s needed for Quest 16 at Sabbio Town’s Fossil Reviver place.

For showing the Odd Keytone to the researcher you’ll get the Mining , which allows you to hire the Miner in the desert to find treasure for you.

The researcher also lets you keep the Odd Keystone. The Fossil Revival process is quick in this game and the Pokemon get sent to PC Storage if your party is full. At night return to the Desert Ruins’ final room, you’ll get a message saying that you hear voices coming from the Odd Keystone.

Take it out, place it back where you picked it up and watch as Spiritomb emerges from it! Catch it if you dare!

Spiritomb – The Forbidden Pokemon
Level: 25
Type: Ghost/Dark
Ability: Pressure
Moves: Feint Attack, Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Ominous Wind
Item Held: Smoke Ball

Shout out to Vytron for the info about this, I had no idea that you have to come back to the Desert Ruins at a specific time to trigger the encounter.

The Sabbio Miner is in the underground chamber south of where Garchomp was found. He charges P5000 to mine 3 randomised items for you: Treasure Items, Incense, Held Items, Stones, Fossils. In other games like Pokemon Unbound there’s the mining mini game and maybe people prefer that over what we have here, I like this setup but I would have players be given the option to set what the Miner searches for e.g. he can search for Items only or Stones only or Fossils only etc and it can still be 3 of each, also randomised. I think that’s more value for money than one of each.

Marrgon Foothills (North)
Umbren is the Camper near the Qendro City entrance who wants Arcanine in exchange for his Volcarona Royal, which is holding Heavy-Duty Boots. Continue into Marrgon City and get ready to Surf east.

Head back to the Academy and we can finally continue with the story.

Aspen is glad to see Micah is a-okay after finding out what happened to him and Olean. Micah asks if the signal from the crystal can be limited, suspecting that it could be linked to what was taken from the ruins, Aspen notices that the crystal has a clean cut that was done by someone’s hands…but he can’t tell when the cut was done. In the meantime though, he and Sina have been busy doing research and the results of this is a unique item that he gives to Micah – a Shard Band.

Although the bands aren’t perfect they will have to do for now, Sina isn’t yet sure how to use them but after seeing what happened to Micah he is certain that Micah might be able to. The waves being emitted by the shards seem to be conductable, so Aspen and Sina were trying to find a way to safely conduct the waves. Olean is not on board with this but Sina suggests that they should observe what happens. One of the researchers reports that something is going down at Fillbur Isle, Aspen is sure that the Regressionists are responsible and Micah wants to take on this mission alone.

He wants to confront Shenow on his own if the man is there, despite not yet knowing how to use the Shard Band. He believes however that whatever it is could be the key to stopping Shenow. Aspen is not happy about Micah’s decision but he agrees to let him go on the mission. Then he mentions the Pokemon that Micah delivered to him and says that while Micah was away, the Pretty Gem broke apart into smaller pieces which reacted to the Pokemon and changed colour for some reason. Aspen gives these shards to Micah:

Venusaur Shard, Swampert Shard and Typhlosion Shard.

Aspen theorises that there are more shards which react to other Pokemon scattered around (and he would be right since we’ve found some). It calls for extensive research definitely. Micah receives an ad on the ITPNav about the Qendro Mall being open at last. Nice, we’re still in town so we might as well check that out before Surfing away.

There’s a Jogger with a Quest here, can’t do his food delivery job because his bike broke and the parts are all over the city:

[q9] Bike Repair
Find a Bike Wheel, a Bike Saddle and Bike Chains!
Location: Qendro Mall

These parts are represented by parcels in the overworld:

– The Bike Wheel is between buildings on the left side of Qendro City’s south Gate.

– For the Bike Saddle, go up the street on the right of the Pokemon Center then cross to the street further to the right.

– The Bike Chains are in an alley on the southeast side of the city.

Take the parts back to the Jogger, he reassembles the Bicycle and ends up giving it to you because he got another one from his boss. Nice boss.

After you’re done shopping return to Marrgon City and Surf back to Fillbur Isle.

When you arrive in the village, there’s a flashback to earlier in the day showing Shenow and company being confronted by Keola’s Dad. Shenow informs him that they are the police and he is in charge of the Ministry of Defense, they have the authority to show up and search the island.

Apparently there was a bomb threat here and Shenow asks him if he knows of any ancient places on the island, but Dad has no idea of such places. Despite that, he is taken along by the Regressionists. Damn…

Back in the present, Keola and her mom meet Micah and let him know what happened.

Micah assures them that he will find Dad and is told by Keola that although Dad knows the island very well, the Fillbur Wilds can be dangerous to him. Head for the Wilds and to the cave up north, there’s no big boulder blocking the entrance any more.

Check the top left spot of the grass area for a hidden Ultra Ball.

Nothing going on at first but after ing between the trees on the left you’ll see a group of Grunts chatting among themselves.

One of them reveals that Shenow has found the ruins, meaning that the Grunts have to get moving and secure the area. Keola’s Dad may have been forced to help Shenow locate those ruins and one Grunt shows some concern about Shenow holding him hostage, but the first Grunt reminds him that they have jobs to do and orders to follow. Whatever Shenow does is, well, above their paygrades.

There’s a spot in the grass area above where the group was gathered, you’ll find a hidden Paralyz Heal there then continue on to the ruins.

In the next area Micah finds Keola’s Dad.

He tells Micah that his captors didn’t have trouble locating the ruins and this particular place, which Dad didn’t even know about. Shenow took the “sharp gem” which was here and left with his crew. You are too late as usual but at least Dad is safe and Micah tells him to return home while he finishes up here. Then Micah reads the text on the stone tablet, which continues the story from the Sabbio Ruins:

“One side longing for peace and the other for dominion. Both seeking their views in Darkrai’s godlike power.”

This explains to Micah what the division was about and he concludes that Shenow also seeks that same power like the two opposite sides in the story. Then Micah sees Darlo on a cliff just up ahead.

He’s going over Shenow’s big plan and what he is meant to do here, but suddenly slips and falls! Fortunately though he is rescued by Staraptor and Micah is surprised to find him here. Darlo realises that Shenow has gone already and leaves as well, although looking a little different now than the previous time. As for Staraptor, it was patrolling the area in search of Micah when it saw Darlo fall. Thank goodness it was around and now we can really travel in style with Fly! You can access this via the Field Moves option in the ITPNav and this allows you to either Soar, Fly or use Flash.

Just look for the green town markers or red city markers to land in a place, but you can also land in specific non-settlement places. Press B or L to fly faster and watch out for clouds, there are wild Pokemon in them. You can use Sweet Scent when you Fly under the grey clouds.

Micah doesn’t see Darlo anywhere, then he gets a call from Olean and he explains to her what happened before letting her know that he is coming back to the lab.

Right now, you are flying high above the region’s southern area. You can select north or west too via the ITPNav.

Just a tip if you want to hatch Eggs quickly: there is a special section in this area which has no clouds.

The section runs horizontally, a nice stretch for turbo flying. Big thanks to Vytron for sharing this with me and now I share it with you.

I dig the Soaring feature, even now I still the Pokemon Sors version, but my minor issue with it has to do with the DexNav. If you use the DexNav underwater you see bubbles indicating spots where a Pokemon is and those bubbles are white in colour…and those bubbles are what you get here in the clouds, which are also white so you can see why this is a problem. Plus while you’re Soaring at normal speed you still move swiftly so you won’t get to those spots in time before the Pokemon goes away, as if you’re running. Illuminate and Sweet Scent are the best options.

Back at the Academy’s lab, Micah catches up with Aspen and both are more concerned about Shenow than before since he’s got 2 gems now while a third one is there in the lab. That’s some bad news, but the good news is Sina and the team have done some tests with the shards and have developed the Regress Band.

He also gives Micah the Key Shard which works together with it to awaken a Pokemon’s Ancient Regression form.

Very cool, nice design too. Aspen says it’s the second prototype and Sina has the other model. Until a better model can be made, he suggests that Micah try out the current one and to be careful since they still don’t know enough about the mysterious power. Olean offers that they name this power Regression since it involves a change in forms and is linked to Regris. Sina reminds Micah of what they saw in the Sabbio Ruins about how the ancient people defeated Darkrai and this gives Micah a name for the power – Ancient Regression.

Just like in other games which have Mega Evolution, during battles you will see the icon for Ancient Regression in the Fight menu. Press Start to set the mechanic, choose a move and off you go.

A report comes in about police activity on Filuse Volcano, with a signal similar to the previous ones. This means a possible 4th piece to Aspen and he decides to tag along this time with Micah, Sina and Olean. He wants to meet Shenow face to face. Filuse Volcano is located in South Regris, just Soar southwest from Fillbur Isle to reach the volcano.

Outside, Micah and the others gather before making their moves.

Sina says he’ll go on ahead and will meet everyone at the summit. Olean goes after him while Aspen wants to chat with Micah first. He starts to talk about something that happened while Micah was away on the solo mission but changes his mind and just advises Micah to stay focused since they are off to face Shenow. Hmm, what was he about talk about though? Go through the cave entrance.

Just on the right there’s an Aggron that a couple of Grunts are trying to deal with but they decide to leave it alone and continue to the summit.

Micah recognises Aggron as his own and that’s another teammate found.

Plus you have access to Strength as a Field Move now and that means the next backtrack run. Let’s get that done first before carrying on in Filuse Volcano.

The Brief Backtrack: Strength Edition

Sabbio Town
There’s a boulder just north from the eastern exit, get that out of the way so you can pick up a Camerupt Shard and see a blocked cave entrance. Noted.

Fillbur Ruins
You can now get that TM47 Steel Wing behind the wall in the southwest section.

That’s it, end of the backtrack. Return to Filuse Volcano and we resume the adventure: further to the right from where Aggron and the Grunts were is Grunt #3.

There are stairs near him but thanks to the lavafall just up ahead you can’t ascend them…yet.

You’ll have to reach a higher area and put a stop to the flow from there to clear the path. Sounds easy enough. Head for the ladder near #5.

That ladder next to the lavafall leads to the western side of B1F Area 1, you’ll appear on platform which has 2 other ladders. Climb the next reachable one back to Area 1 of the cave and you can pick up a Charcoal. Return to Area 2 of the cave, up the stairs to clear the path, go to the right to pick up a Rare Candy and TM77 Flame Charge then exit through the opening that the lavafall was blocking.

He gives you the bad news that you probably knew as soon as you got here: Shenow is already at the summit. Continue going to the right to pick up a Luxury Ball and find out who that Pokemon spotted earlier is: one of a pair of Salandit that have cornered Tepig!

Salandit – The Toxic Lizard Pokemon

Type: Poison/Fire

Afterwards Tepig tags along and you can return it to the old man. Tepig then lets him know that it wants to you and there you go, another Starter.

Back to the slopes and whenever you’re ready, carry on up to the summit.

-Summit-

Micah arrives in time to see Shenow announce that he has obtained the final piece.

But his triumph doesn’t last very long because one of the Grunts is informed that they lost one of the gems…and now he has to tell the boss. The helicopter which was transporting it somehow crashed into the sea, although the Grunts have safely reached HQ now. This is likely to be the same gem which Micah found underwater. Despite this setback, Shenow notices that Micah is here and isn’t bothered by that at all. He just sees a child who has some incredible power, something that the Traveller told Shenow, and thinks that should not be left unchecked. Can’t have such power in the hands of someone like that. He orders his Grunts to attack the group while Shenow leaves for HQ. Just when it looks like Micah will fight a couple of the Grunts on his own, Aspen offers to help and even the odds.

Battle Notes
– Aspen’s team is made up of a Level 31 Servine and a Level 31 Flapple.

Shenow then orders the Grunts to leave, he wants to have a chat with Micah and company.

He only sees Micah as a failure, who doesn’t understand what’s really going on here. Sceptile comes out of its Poke Ball and undergoes Ancient Regression, which affects Micah for a moment, but Sceptile returns to its regular form because Micah can’t handle the power and Shenow laughs at this.

As far as he’s concerned, Micah is not far away from losing control and destroying everything – this is what Shenow is trying to prevent from happening.

Even after Shenow leaves, Micah doesn’t understand what he was going on about and wonders who this Traveller is. Olean is puzzled as well because Shenow went on as if Micah is a monster when, as far as Olean can see, Micah is just an ordinary guy. Aspen agrees and sums it up as signs of Shenow’s insanity. He says they should meet up back at the lab. Before you go back there, you can read the message on the tablet up front:

“The King who brought the power of peace sealed the beast away in a Luminous Crystal, with help from…” [the name of whoever helped can’t be read because the tablet is damaged] “…And they took it far away with their followers in peace. The ones seeking power, once called Regressors, establishing the roots of Regris…”

The Regressors huh? Hmm. This mission wasn’t exactly accomplished but on the bright side nobody ed out, I guess that’s one positive takeaway. Return to the Academy and speak to Aspen. He goes over the text which was found on that latest tablet and Sina finds it interesting that the King chose to seal Darkrai away while he had the power to go in a whole other direction. He doesn’t think it’s a good idea for Micah to rely too much on the power and offers to use it instead since he’s a knight and all, but Micah is not happy about that and reminds Sina about Shenow’s activities which are related to Ancient Regression. A heated argument erupts between the two of them, with Micah believing that he should be the one to deal with Shenow since he has history with him and has faced him before. Sina on the other hand argues that he’s more suited because he doesn’t have anything linking him to Shenow, his only concern is figuring out why he is here. Sina leaves, saying he’s going back to the ruins and Micah picks up the pieces of that argument.

He blames himself for not stopping Shenow years ago but he understands Sina’s concerns and hopes he’ll cool off. Olean appears with some news – she saw Darlo on live TV.

We cut to a report in an area that we haven’t been to before: there’s snow, there are some Regressist Grunts and there’s Darlo off in the background.

This is revealed to be a city called Hiencuro and is the location for a speech that the Minister of Defense will deliver. A speech which will change history and start in 6 hours. Micah can’t believe this, a speech from Shenow? What’s up with that?? Olean suggests that they go over there to speak to Darlo and catch the speech in person, which Micah is willing to do alone even if Aspen is concerned that this could be a trap. There are lots of officers in the city too, Olean points out, but Micah is sure he can blend in just fine since Darlo is already there and nothing has happened to him yet. Besides, someone has to stay at the lab and wait for Sina’s return while Micah is away.

Go back to Podeti Bay and head out to Podeti Trail East, the policemen who were blocking the rest of the route previously are gone now.

Just a nice and quiet fishing spot for any angling enthusiasts out there, especially those Fishermen who like having full teams of nothing but Magikarp. You’ve probably encountered them before, eh? Well, none of those guys are here and there’s nothing you can do until you can scale up the waterfall and see the real prize – a stone building by the pool which feeds the waterfall. What’s in that building, a person? a Pokemon? One Piece?? We’ll be back to find out later. Return to Podeti Trail, cross the river and brace yourself for the sudden shift in climate. Goodbye warm and green surroundings, Hello cold and grey scenery (sneezes, sniffle).

Before heading to the Main Square (just on the right from the Gate when you arrive) and catching the proceedings, you can enter the building on the left from the Gate and speak to the Black Belt inside. He’s the person with the final Quest, which is about furniture.

[q21] Refurnished!
Bring the man 2 Timburrs and 1 Conkeldurr!
Location: Hiencuro City

The trio get to work and the empty room turns into a swanky spot with all the neat furniture and appliances. Speaking of appliances, the Black Belt says you can bring Rotom and change its form via those appliances (the radio on the table, the refrigerator, the sink, the cooker, the trash bin and…the bookshelf!).

You can visit the Pokemon Center as well, it’s just along the south side of the Main Square, and if you go northeast from there you’ll reach another Gate which is currently blocked by policemen.

No entry because of an avalanche, we’ll have to check back when the path has been cleared. Now it’s time to visit the Main Square and catch that speech.

Micah s the gathered crowd and notices the high presence of Grunts here, that’s already a red flag.

Darlo is standing behind the crowd then he moves up next to Micah and tells him to leave because he shouldn’t be here.

This catches Micah by surprise and he starts asking him questions but Darlo doesn’t think this is the right place for that and as he tries to figure out how get Micah away from here, the big event starts and the man at the center of it is introduced – Shigeru Kusei a.k.a Shenow.

He says he is here to make an announcement and goes on to talk about how his father wanted him to make the world better. That’s why he is here, to make Regris better. People might ask him that magical question – isn’t Regris alright as it is? Shenow’s response to this is a question to the citizens asking them if they feel safe. He talks about Almians within the region who are there to cause trouble and so he intends to stop that from happening. Some people in the crowd agree but there are opposing opinions which point out that Shenow isn’t even from Regris. Then before he can reveal how he plans to protect Regris, one of the Grunts on stage with him shares some information and Shenow shifts his attention to some “terrorists” who are present and this leads to Micah and Darlo being apprehended and arrested.

They are brought on stage and despite their protesting, Shenow says there’s plenty of evidence against them and adds that Micah acted according to his plans. Then Shenow addresses the crowd and identifies Micah and Darlo as part of a group of troublemakers that threaten Regris, but he assures everyone that he’ll take care of the “threat”. Damn, you’ve been BUSTED.

Regressist HQ

We find Micah alone in a cell, which he can’t escape from at the moment.

No idea where he is and he wonders if this is where the rest of his companions have ended up. Where could Sina be also? We last saw him leave the Academy lab. Micah thinks of Darlo too and plans to get some answers from him later. Then we switch over to Darlo in another cell and he blames himself for this, believing that Micah and the others got captured because of him.

So what can he do about it? Darlo channels his strange ability and phases through the wall of the cell, ending up out in a corridor and a few steps away from a Grunt guard.

-Prison Cells 1-

You are now playing as Darlo (!) which brings back some memories of switching between characters in Pokemon Adventure Red Chapter. The game will remind you about Darlo’s condition which allows him phase through prison doors and air vents on the floor when he stands on top of them. Press A while on a vent to move from one area to another. You must avoid being spotted by the guards too, Darlo doesn’t have any Pokemon on him right now. Fortunately the guards stay in one spot and just slowing spin around, it shouldn’t be a problem to avoid their field of vision.

From Darlo’s current position you can see the door to a room on the bottom right of your screen, go there.

-Room 1-

You’ll be stuck by the entrance in the room because on the right is an infrared ray barrier which can trace body temperature so Darlo can’t phase through that unless he wants to be caught. On the left is a note on the floor which reads Code Number 1: 0. What’s this about? Exit back to the corridor and step on the vent (we’ll call it v1) on left from Room 1’s door, it will lead to the vent (v2) below it. Continue along the corridor to v3 on the left, it will send you over to v4 the far left end of the corridor. Head halfway up the corridor to v5 then v6 which is next to another note: Code Number 2: 8. The plot thickens. Retrace via the vents back to v3 and enter the room near it.

-Room 2-

In here you’ll see two vents, a guard and a door that Darlo won’t go through yet because Micah has to be freed first. Speaking of Micah, his cell is reached via the vent on the left (v7). As soon as Darlo arrives, Micah starts questioning him but Darlo tells him to keep it down and says he’ll get Micah out.

He just needs the security code for the security room and this cell. Those notes which we’ve found so far are showing parts of the codes. Once Micah is free, Darlo suggests that they meet somewhere and then free the others. The note in Micah’s cell has its code 1112, how convenient. To return to Room 2 move up to the north wall of the cell to use the vent. When you’re back in Room 2 use v8 on the right and you’ll get sent back to Room 1, but this time you are on the other side of the infrared ray barrier. Go to the right to v9 then v10 and v11 directly above it. V12 to v14 are on the upper left from there and they lead to the next note: Code Number 3: 0. Interesting info from the guy who is moving crates near that note, he doesn’t know what’s inside them but it’s possible there are weapons in those crates. Well, well. Go back to v10 and continue to the right, you’ll reach the door to the security room. Noted.

Return to the corridor and use v13 on the north end of the corridor, it takes you to v14 just on the left and that leads to v15 on the south end. Note #4 is next to it: Code Number 4: 3. Alright, all those notes make up 0803. Now go back to the security room door, enter 1112 and hurry inside.

The machine which is connected to Micah’s cell is just on the right, enter 0803 and you switch back to Micah…who also doesn’t have his Pokemon with him.

Make your way to the south end of the corridor, you’ll notice now that all the infrared ray barriers are gone. Enter through the south door and arrive in a small room that has a Scientist who mentions that the elevator behind him won’t work unless you have the code for it, which is known by the officers.

Yeah, I’m sure they’ll be more than happy to help after you talk to them about that code. Go through the door on the left to enter the sorting room.

-Room 3-

What’s moving along the conveyor belts here? Lots and lots of Regression Shards…and you can’t grab a few to take with you. However you can take the Poke Ball that’s next to the conveyor belt which is up top, that represents Micah’s Pokemon!

Nice and now we can get rolling around here because as you try to exit the room, a guard shows up and he’s aiming to take you back to the cell. Screw that.

But he has the last laugh because he is not one of the guards who will share the code for the elevator. Darn it. Exit the room and this time the other guards have returned in the corridor. Surely they’ll talk, right? We’ll start with the one in the southeast section.

Afterwards go over to the southwest section for talker #2.

He says the 4th digit is 8. 3618, excellent. Head for elevator, enter the code and you’ll get 4 options for floors to pick from:

Prison Cells 1
Prison Cells 2
Laboratory
Entrance Hall

Start with the Entrance Hall. There you’ll find one guard named EGR who wants to trade his Heracross Heragoat for a Snorlax. The greatest Heracross of all time perhaps? It comes with a Muscle Band (also the greatest of all time). In the room south from that Grunt is another who will give you an Assault Vest and in the room next to the trader you can pick up a Full Restore by the bookshelf on the left. Back into the elevator and choose Prison Cells 2. You need a Lab Card to access the Laboratory.

-Prison Cells 2-

As soon as you take a step in any direction an alert is announced about you and Darlo’s escape and from this point on Capture Protocol has been initiated. Game on.

There’s Grunt #1 just to the south and #2 on the left.

Micah figures out that a Prison Card is needed in order to free them from their cells. On the right from the cells is a doorway which leads to a small room, you’ll find TM21 Frustration on the table. Go back to Grunt #1 and go through the southern doorway. You’ll walk out into a corridor extending to the right, proceed.

That takes care of Grunts #5 to #7 and at the end of the corridor you can pick up a Dusk Ball and what turns out to be Vikavolt’s Poke Ball.

Micah’s team has finally been found and thanks to Vikavolt you can use Flash as a Field Move (even though if you already had Pokemon which knew the move earlier on you could still use it outside of battles).

Go south from the corridor to find the Prison Card on the desk and hurry back to free Micah’s friends.

Once they are free, Olean tells Micah that the police arrived at the Academy and arrested them on the spot. Aspen adds that the arrest happened while they were watching the speech and saw Micah and Darlo’s arrest. Darlo appears and reports that he found a locked lab area, which he suspects to be Shenow’s location…

…then he gives Micah the Lab Card. Darlo says he’ll lead Aspen and Olean to safety while Micah heads to the lab.

-Laboratory-

Just on the right is a wall that you can interact with, an Card is needed to open that ageway and access Shenow’s room.

South from there is a storage room, you’ll find TM41 Torment inside. From the elevator go up along the corridor on the left, that will lead to a Timer Ball. Then carry on to the right from the elevator and meet Grunt #8.

“Day 12 – I’m stuck in this realm. For some reason this reality did not collapse without Darkrai…”

Hmm, who could this be? Another note is on the floor next to the Scientist on the left:

“Day 22 – I started exploring. There is not much, but enough for me to survive for a while.”

No clue who this could be, I thought maybe some bells might ring but nope. Head up the corridor to Grunt #9.

The corridor branches to the left and to the right, go to the right and find note #3 on a table:

“Day 34 – I’m shut off. I’ve been looking for way to leave this forsaken realm. I failed. Then failed again. And again. I wonder if Micah is happy now.”

Okay, it’s becoming a clearer now. On the upper right from there is an Elixir and note #4 is on the counter on the left:

“Day 41 – Life. I’ve found ways to harvest food, which extends my time…I don’t see any way out of here. Maybe he was right. I deserve to rot in this empty realm…”

Further to the left is Grunt #10, note #5 and the Card.

Lv36 Scolipede [Bug/Poison]
Lv36 Golbat [Poison/Flying]
Lv36 Venomoth [Bug/Poison]
Lv37 Skrelp [Poison/Water]
Prize: P3700

Don’t pick up the card just yet, you can read the note and then go through the doorway on the bottom left to get an Absol Shard first.

“Day 120 – Scar. I slipped and hit my face…It will leave a scar.”

I thought the card would be with one of the Grunts or an Executive. Nope, it’s on the floor as if someone dropped it.

As soon as you pick it up, Shenow addresses everyone and announces that there’s an unwanted guest in the building

…but he instructs the guards to let Micah reach him so that they can chat one on one. Micah is more than ready for that, despite what Darlo said to him earlier about not confronting Shenow without him.

Head back to the , use the Card and carry on up to another elevator which takes you directly to Shenow’s room.

Micah wants to know what the reason for Shenow’s actions are, considering the fact that he is not even from Regris but is Almian. Shenow is not concerned about his nationality, he wants to protect Regris and the rest of the world from Micah. Then he quotes what the Traveller said to him, whoever/whatever this could be told him that Micah would be his target when Shenow returns.

Whatever methods that he may choose to employ against Micah are his choices, the Traveller doesn’t care whether Shenow even succeeds or not.

Shenow says the power that he and Micah are both seeking is only for him to use to save the world, not for Micah to use against him. But how did Shenow even know that Micah was in the region? Darlo appears and reveals that Shenow knew somehow (?)

…which is based on what he learned while he was working with Shenow: there were documents which had information about Darlo and Micah’s presence in Regris, written weeks ago, meaning that Shenow was informed about them earlier. Shenow offers to make a deal – Micah and Darlo go back to Colen while Shenow’s plans proceed. If that happens, Shenow says he might spare Micah’s friends and let everthing that has happened slide. Then he leaves and Darlo says he and Micah don’t have to stick around and involve themselves in Regris’ politics. The International Police can step in if things go bad anyway, but Micah disagrees because the police didn’t help him and Darlo after they went missing, so he’s not putting any faith in them nor is he going to trust Shenow.

After the cutscene you can pick up the Life Orb on the left and check out the final note on the desk:

“Day 236 – Micah. I have met someone. A person! At least I think so. They offered me a way out for a simple task in exchange. Eliminating Micah. I have more grandiose plans than that thought! I spent 236 days in this reality, but in our world it has already been 3 long years! I will build an army…I will build my legacy. I will rearrange the world and its order…I will eliminate him…”

Case closed. I wonder what that reality was, where less than a year in there equals 3 years outside? Gnarly. Leave the room and take the main elevator back to the Entrance Hall and exit the building.

There’s a grass spot between the trees on the left, check it for a hidden Ultra Ball.

Surf down the waterfall and you can pick up HM07 Waterfall on the tiny island below it, what perfect timing.

Samurott will learn the move automatically and now you can scale up any waterfall.

Then Micah finally meets up with his pals and Aspen continues from where he left off, telling him about the raid at the Academy.

He also noticed lots of Grunts leaving HQ, looking like they are heading off to conduct a major operation. Micah didn’t catch Shenow and suggests they return to the Academy to plan ahead, but Aspen doesn’t think that’s a good idea because of the raid. The lab was targeted and the gem which they had was taken too, so Shenow has all 4 of them now. As if things couldn’t get any worse. Some good news from Darlo though, he knows of a secret hideaway that the group can head to in the meantime – the Hidden Retreat of course. Micah notes that Olean is rather quiet and makes a point to speak to her later. What’s up with her all of a sudden…?

Before we head back to the Hidden Retreat, we got another super quick backtrack run to cover so standby…

The Brief Backtrack: Waterfall Edition

Falahte Lakefront (South)
This is where you’ll find TM83 Scald.

Sabbio Desert (Safari Zone Entrance)
TM23 Iron Tail is found here.

Short and sweet. At the top of the waterfall at the Hidden Retreat you’ll meet Darlo outside the stone building there.

He thinks it might have been the house for the gatekeeper of the old castle nearby, that’s why it is pretty rundown. Inside, Micah makes the introductions between his friends and this is Darlo’s chance to apologise for his previous actions.

He also explains what happened to him after the Sabbio Ruins event: when he landed after his fall, his memories came back to him and he realised that Shenow had betrayed him. He also tested out his phasing ability and it’s thanks to this that he was able to rescue Micah at the HQ. That helicopter crash which led to the loss of the Luminous Gem? Darlo did that too. Unfortunately he didn’t get a lot of information about Shenow’s operations but he did find out that Shenow plans to take the 4 gems to Lake Falahte. This reminds Micah about the rumours about ruins of Puel being under the lake and the link to Sina…and speaking of Sina, nobody has heard from him since he left. Micah gets ready to leave with Darlo for the lake and finally take down Shenow.

The big boulder is gone from the entrance now, head inside and go through a cave area of Ancient Pueltown before stepping outside.

So the rumours were true, Micah confirms once he and Darlo arrive out here.

Just before he carries on after Shenow, Darlo gives Micah HM05 Dive. Very nice.

We’ll go for that Dive backtrack run after this mission. Surf over to the south side to pick up a Twisted Spoon then over to the southwest corner for a Dusk Stone. Along the way to that corner is a stone platform, you’ll find a Light Key on top of it.

It’s the first Light Key for a door somewhere around here. There are 3 Dive spots: under the middle one you’ll find Light Key #2 and under the eastern one there’s a Samurott Shard.

Go through the entrance just north of the middle Dive spot, it leads to a room where you’ll find TM30 Shadow Ball. Then the work begins now, starting with Grunt #1 outside that room then #2 on the upper level.

You’ll find a Dusk Stone by the north wall. Surf all the way south then southwest to pick up a Dive Ball in the corner then go southeast and resurface in the next area.

Surf southeast and go through the entrance there. Halfway into the cave Micah is stopped by an unknown voice and suddenly his head starts to hurt.

The voice warns him about a massive threat which is about to be let loose on the world and says it was told about his return, but also adds that Micah is not ready because his mind is not yet clear of judgement. Talk about random. The voice disappears and so does Micah’s headache, you can continue up to the exit. Just before you head out, Darlo will heal your team. Here we go.

On the platform outside we see a few more Executives, Shenow by a sealed door and Sina helping him out by reading the text on a wall near the door.

What’s going on here? According to the text, the King was called a traitor for not catering to the “needs” of his nation. This is despite the fact that he wanted peace. Sina doesn’t understand why the King would be called a traitor. To Shenow it’s simple, people want war for various reasons. Human nature, eh? Shenow had wanted Sina’s help to uncover this and for Sina, he’s glad to help. This is for Regris. Micah and Darlo crash the little party and take on the Executives in Double Battles.

Micah spots Sina and just as he starts to suggest that they face Shenow together, Sina refuses (!) he won’t help Micah this time.

He sees Micah and Shenow as two sides of the same coin, both wanting peace but each having their own way of achieving it. Sina points out that Micah doesn’t have control of the Ancient Regression power, yet Shenow does, which is why Sina won’t allow Micah to do things his way.

He then taps into the Ancient Regression power and Micah manages to do the same as he prepares to prove Sina wrong.

Battle Notes
– Regression form Blaziken’s Ability is Speed Boost.

Much to Sina’s and Micah’s surprise, Micah has succeeded in using the power without any issues.

Even Shenow can’t understand how this could happen and he says to Sina that they should leave now that they’ve got what they came for. Even though Micah was able to use Ancient Regression, Shenow isn’t too concerned because he is more focused on awakening “it” and if that happens Micah can’t stop him and Sina achieving their goal.

He gives Micah one final warning to leave the region (or else…) then he’s gone and Micah has to accept that Sina is on the opposing team now. Is there still a chance to make him see reason? We’ll see. Mission Complete. The voice from earlier pops up and says that the first step for Micah is when he realises that he might be wrong.

Darlo can’t hear the voice so he’s a little surprised when Micah tries to identify it. The voice reveals that it wants to help him because it knows very well what the great threat which is coming. Centuries ago this talking entity helped humanity against the threat and was tasked with eliminating it if the threat returned. It became aware of Micah and how he is worthy of the entity’s help, but it can only help him if his mind is clear…and currently his mind is clouded. Micah says he isn’t interested in more power, but the entity tells him that it can’t use its power alone and needs someone with a pure heart. Then it addresses the door which Shenow was investigating and tells Micah that the key to the entity’s power is beyond it, but to open the door Micah has to clear his mind.

He must revisit the 4 ruins and seek lessons. Micah guesses he has to return to the rooms where he encountered Shenow and Darlo. He tells Darlo to look after Aspen and Olean while he’s away on the new mission.

After the scene, you can teleport back to Lake Falahte’s entrance cave via the interactive icon on the right. We’ll go on that Dive backtrack run first then revisit the 4 ruins.

The Brief Backtrack: Dive Edition

-Regris Sea (south of Podeti Bay)-
Under the northwest Dive spot you’ll find the Whirlpool TM (it won’t appear in the TM Case with the others though, but Samurott learns the move anyway). Now you can cross over the whirlpool which is along the north rocks along the Regris Sea path leading to Fillbur Isle and pick up TM29 Psychic.

-Podeti Trail (East)-
You’ll find TM79 Dark Pulse here.

Man, these backtracks have gotten shorter and shorter. With this one done, Micah’s great lessons run can begin now. First stop is the Tempou Ruins. Just before entering the final room, Micah hears the voice calling him and when you proceed into the room he is met by Asher! What the…?

Asher is the main character of Pokemon Sors. He says Micah has always been jealous of him and that’s because Asher is an Eclipser. But Micah quickly figures out that this isn’t really Asher, just the voice in his head playing with him. Lesson #1 – in order to overcome his jealousy he must battle.

Prize: P8600

Battle Notes
– Regression form Lucario’s Ability is Adaptability.

A memory from a month ago appears to Micah, he was in the Hupest region conducting an investigation.

He was in a lab where he found a gem and Asher saw him. Micah had also taken the gem which was in Aur Factory too, so now Asher wanted him to hand over the gem that was found in the lab. They battled each other and Micah its that he was jealous of Asher back then because of his potential, but now he comes to with it and accepts that he wasn’t inferior to Asher after all. The voice gives Micah the first of 4 fragments, a Dark Crystal, and says once he has all 4 he can return to Pueltown.

Next up we return to the final room of the Sabbio Ruins and this is where Micah encouters Frio, another character from Pokemon Sors.

Micah is surprised to see him because Frio should be dead. Frio’s issue here is about Micah acting like he’s the boss and taking charge of every situation as if the people around him couldn’t act too, but Micah says he only wanted to protect people and that’s why he would take the initiative. Lesson #2 – he has to cut down his ego.

Battle Notes
– Regression form Swampert’s Ability is Swift Swim.

The second memory is also from a month ago, after Asher’s friends were rescued. He met Frio for the first time then. We get a scene where Micah told Asher to go find Valora while he locates the gems with Frio’s help, which Frio had a problem with. Looking back on this makes Micah accept that he may have been rather bossy despite his good intentions. He should’ve relied on others more instead of wanting to do things alone. The second Dark Crystal is given out afterwards.

Head over to the Fillbur Ruins’ final area and this time Micah meets Darlo, who should be with Aspen and Olean currently…

…but it becomes clear that this is yet another illusion because Darlo asks Micah why he doesn’t feel bad about not defeating Shenow in time. Had he done that, Darlo might have been cured of his strange condition. The solution was in the Shadow Crystal that Micah allowed Shenow to destroy and he regrets doing that now, but he also adds that at the time neither he nor Darlo knew what else they could do about the situation. Lesson #3 – he has to accept his remorse.

Moves: Defense Curl, Crunch, Flame Charge, Lava Plume
Prize: P8800

Battle Notes
– Regression form Typhlosion is a Fire/Dark-type and has Drought as its Ability.

The memory this time is from 3 years ago when Micah and Darlo were close to stopping Shenow. Like a classic villain he wanted to end the current world and create a better one. Because Shenow was able to extract Darkrai from the Shadow Crystal, it shattered and thus any research into Darlo’s condition couldn’t happen. This wasn’t Micah’s fault and he realises this now. Dark Crystal #3 is obtained afterwards.

Finally, we return to the summit of Filuse Volcano and watch Micah encounter Lori.

Her deal concerns Micah’s disappearance and how easy it is for him and Darlo to be replaced, because according to her Looker has gone on to create a new team in Micah’s absence and because Lori counts him as weak. But Micah isn’t weak, however he does have a fear of being replaced and he must overcome it for Lesson #4.

Lv44 Sceptile [Grass] {Overgrow/Unburden} (Sceptile Shard)
Moves: Leaf Blade, Agility, Slam, Detect
Prize: P8800

Battle Notes
– Regression form Sceptile is a Grass/Dragon-type and has Technician as its Ability.
– Gastrodon’s Hidden Power type is Fighting.

For the final memory it is a scene from a meeting between Micah and Lori after Team Void’s little incident at Light Island. This is when Micah learned that Lori was a Pokemon Ranger from Almia.

Despite that she was only 18, Micah ired her for going out into the world and working and even willing to team up with him at his young age too. Micah has no reason to fear being replaced because even from back then Lori has chosen him over other people. Realising this gets him the last Dark Crystal.

Head back to Ancient Pueltown’s final area, unlock the door and proceed into the room. The first thing you find is a Cresselia Shard and it all becomes clear whose voice Micah has been hearing!

Yes indeed, the Legendary Pokemon appears before Micah and she announces that he has ed the trials. Micah is shocked by this and wonders who could’ve told Cresselia about him. The shard that Micah picked up leads to Cresselia changing into her Regression form and she wants him to battle her and prove himself worthy of her power so he can defeat Darkrai.

You can attempt to catch Cresselia but if you fail to, no worries, she’ll your crew after the battle (added to PC Storage if your party is full).

Cresselia – The Lunar Pokemon
[Ancient Regression Form]
Level: 50
Type: Psychic/Fairy
Ability: Psychic Surge
Moves: Mist, Aurora Beam, Future Sight, Slash

Cresselia understands now why she has been linked to Micah and she grants him her power to defeat Darkrai on top of Mt. Temporita.

Then Micah s Aspen and lets him know that he’s returning to the Hidden Retreat base. The road to the final showdown begins now.

Back at the base Micah brings the others up to speed and now they need a way to navigate the mountain without Shenow being aware.

While the others take on the officers, Micah plans to reach the summit with Cresselia and face Shenow and Darkai. Darlo and Aspen are ready to fight but Olean is a little hesistant, yet recognises that they have no choice. How do they enter the mountain discreetly? Aspen thinks of a special entrance at the Tempou Ruins but figures it’s probably guarded now, then Olean suggests the Qengon Cavern which is a large cave system. Great idea and Aspen gives Micah the HM we’ve been waiting for – HM08 Rock Climb!

Micah has a chance to speak to Olean and assures her that once this Shenow business has been ended, everything will be alright and she can continue her studies in peace. That’s enough to motivate her to fight for the sake of the region. Garchomp learns Rock Climb as a Field Move and you know what time it is. Not a brief run this time so get yourselves ready and let’s get to work.

The Great Backtrack: Rock Climb Edition

-Hidden Retreat-
Just outside the base, in the pit on the right, you’ll find a Sceptile Shard.

-Marrgon City-

-Mt. Temporita Peak-

Micah finds Darlo hiding behind a pillar. He’s observing what’s going on just up ahead and is eager to put a stop to it, so answer Yes and watch as Micah and Darlo head on up to confront Shenow and Sina.

Shenow is not pleased to see them here after he allowed them to leave Regris previously, he tells Sina to deal with them and Sina teams up with one of the Executives. No surprises this time because he is ready to face Micah one more time.

– Darlo has his Level 45 Hippowdon (holding Leftovers) which knows Dig, Sand Tomb, Crunch, Earthquake and his Level 45 Typhlosion (holding its Typhlosion Shard) and knows Defense Curl, Crunch, Flame Charge, Lava Plume.

Olean and Aspen arrive soon after the battle…

…and just when it seems like Sina has been knocked out, he recovers and notices that the final portion of the King’s story is on the stone wall behind him:

“The King, King Sina, taking Darkrai was sealed far away in the Luminous Crystal…established New Almia, while the Regressors turn Old Almia to a new region, called Regris, taking pride in the name, Regressor. The Luminous Crystal took Darkrai’s primal powers, weakening it and corrupting the crystal. The King freed Darkrai from the renamed crystal, the Shadow Crystal and tasked him with protecting it. This is the story, of our and Almia’s king, Sina…Kusei.“

Plot twist…? Even Sina is shocked by this and the implication that he is the king of old and new Almia. Him and Micah having the same last name too, what’s up with that? Aspen points out that Sina wasn’t a king when he came to this time period, which Olean takes to mean that he becomes king later on because he managed to get back to his own time somehow. Yup, just another classic case of Timeloop no Jutsu.

Shenow has had enough of this and places Micah and company under arrest! Nice way to kick off a final battle.

Battle Notes
– Regression form Flygon’s Abilities are Levitate and Huge Power.

Shenow has a major breakdown, he can’t understand why Micah puts blame on him for what has happened.

Despite what the Traveller has told him, he isn’t so sure about himself now and nothing means anything to Shenow. Not the region, not the world, nobody. Micah lets Cresselia out and she states that the task she was given has been completed, which was to bring Micah here.

This task was from Sina in the past, to find Micah in the present time and help him. Sina tells Shenow that he won’t fight against Cresselia because the information/scripts which were found in the ruins don’t lie, even though Shenow made a deal with him and promised to help Sina return home. Sina apologises to Micah and lets him face Shenow, who has Darkrai on his side now. He plans to start war on Almia and other regions in order to create a whole new reality. Then Darkrai disappears through a portal and Micah is sent out of this reality into another!

Alternate Reality

**HMs Needed: Surf, Waterfall.

-Area 1-

Micah recognises this place as Darkrai’s realm and is suprised to see it still existing.

Cresselia appears and assures him that Darkrai is not at full power yet so Micah shouldn’t give up. She also says that the connection between this world and others will remain alive as long as Darkrai becomes comfortable, this is why Micah has to hurry.

Move onto the small platform on the right then scale down the vine on it and continue going to the right and get an Aggron Shard. Return to the main path and reach the top side of the big platform, then go southwest to a portal that you can enter.

-Area 2-

There’s an Old Gateau on the platform on the left. Make your way to the north platform and Surf down the waterfall on the right to pick up an Audino Shard. Then Micah faces Shenow one more time, who would’ve left him here but Shenow knows that Micah will find a way out so it’s best to deal with him.

For years Micah dreaded this moment, he was constantly bothered by nightmares, but now his mind is clear and he is calm. Both Darkrai and Cresselia shift into their Regression forms and it’s time for one more round against Shenow.

((1 Full Restore + Regress Band))
Lv60 Darkrai [Dark] {Bad Dreams/Soul-Heart} (Darkrai Shard)
Moves: Shadow Ball, Dark Pulse, Dark Void, Nightmare
Prize: P12000

Battle Notes
– Regression form Darkrai is a Dark/Ghost-type and has Dark Aura as its Ability.

Shenow has lost again but he accepts it this time and is ready for Micah to end him before this world collapses, but Micah doesn’t do that and returns to the normal reality with a knocked out Shenow.

Then a portal opens and from it steps out a new character who notes that Shenow has failed, something which he expected.

He speaks to Sina and lets him know that he’ll help him return to his time, but Sina can’t speak of this present time once he goes back. He can however use the knowledge that he has acquired. Micah asks the stranger to identify himself and explain how he appeared out of the portal, but all the stranger says is that he is a Traveller just like him. We finally meet the mysterious Traveller, well well.

What could this mean for Micah next? The Traveller leaves and Sina has some time to say his farewells. Olean is a little concerned about the Traveller, but Micah isn’t surprised by anything anymore even though the stranger knew his name and guided Shenow to do what he did. He is sure they’ll meet the Traveller again. Sina reveals that Kusei isn’t his surname but he likes it enough that he considers taking it up later. He aims to go back to his time with the information that he has gotten and defeat Darkrai.

After Sina leaves, Darlo asks what they should do with Shenow. Micah suggests that they return to Hiencuro City with him because he has some announcements to make for the region. The mystery of how Sina even came to this time still remains, although Micah wonders if there’s a link to that with the Traveller.

A few days later we see Micah, Darlo and Shenow in the square at Hiencuro City. The International Police learn about the situation and arrest Shenow. Micah’s announcement is broadcast across Regris and to other regions as he explains who he is and who Shenow is and the truth behind his scheme.

After the annoucement Lori arrives, with the reason for the super late arrival being that Regris wasn’t a top priority on the list of places to search for Micah.

But thanks to the broadcast they are here now. Lori says they can return home, yet Micah says he might stay in Regris for a bit and take a break. He’s also thinking of leaving the International Police because he doesn’t like the idea of working with the authorities after what happened with the Regris police. Lori is a little concerned but she will Micah’s decision. Darlo suggests that they take this opportunity to go on a vacation and just after Micah asks Lori what she thinks of this idea, the scene shifts to Sina in his own time.

Someone shows up and reveals that Sina has only been gone for a second. It’s funny that Sina’s speech has become more modern and this other person notices this. Sina and the person leave for Pueltown then the main portion of the game comes to an end. SAVING…DO NOT TURN OFF POWER.

Post-Game Arc Begins

We begin the second half of the game outside of the Marrgon City Pokemon Center, but when you move in any direction you’ll suddenly shift over to just outside the Academy lab (instant transmission…?) and Micah receives an early morning call from Aspen.

He wants to see him at the lab right away. If you hurry to the Pokemon Center and check your current Storage Box you’ll find Micah’s team there, all at Level 50.

Sceptile – The Forest Pokemon
Type: Grass
Ability: Overgrow/Unburden
Moves: Agility, Slam, Detect, X-Scissor

Garchomp – The Mach Pokemon
Type: Dragon/Ground
Ability: Sand Veil

Type: Normal/Flying
Ability: Intimidate
Moves: Aerial Ace, Take Down, Agility, Brave Bird

Vikavolt – The Stag Beetle Pokemon
Type: Bug/Electric
Ability: Levitate
Moves: Bug Buzz, Dig, Zap Cannon, Agility

The ultimate HM crew right there, not too shabby. Enter the lab and before speaking to Aspen you can chat with Olean, she’ll describe what happened while Micah was away in the Alternate Reality – things got all dark and gloomy, but returned to normal when he came back. Gnarly stuff. Aspen thanks Micah for his efforts and says that because of him, the Academy has received more funding than before and this affords the team a research trip abroad. Where are they planning to go? Yes, you guessed it – Almia.

The Academy will be working together with the research facilities over there and Aspen assigns Micah to go there as a member of the Academy, with Olean of course. Aspen gives Micah the Almia , which he can use to catch a boat from Podeti Bay to a place called Haruba Village, and a letter for someone named Professor Hastings who is part of the Ranger Union in Almia.

Very nice, we got a new adventure to look forward to instead of just a post-game made up of rematches and chasing after Legendary Pokemon.

After Olean leaves for Podeti Bay, you can talk to Aspen again and either get the Pokedex rated or go one on one with the good professor for the first time ever. He won’t force you into the battle so you can face him later if you aren’t ready yet.

Prize: P6800

Battle Notes
– Regression form Abomasnow has the Ice Scales Ability.

You can battle him multiple times too so I’d count it as a nice place to train. Exit the Academy and just as you step forward you’re bumped into by a new female character who is in a hurry.

She’s off to a gig. In that hurry she drops something that Micah picks up, a Frontier with the name Hikigo Ohtani on it. This is what’s needed to enter the Regris Battle Frontier on Frontier Island.

Micah decides he’ll head over there to return the to its owner. Well, so we’re going to take a little detour before meeting up with Olean. Where is Frontier Island anyway? Check the World Map and you’ll see that it is located near the northeast area of the region.

In order to get over there we must return to Hiencuro City and go through the northeast Gate which was previously blocked by guards. By the way, just north of the city square is the Hiencuro Library and two other buildings. We couldn’t check this part of the city before because of all that Shenow business. The building on the right is for the local press and the building on the left is where you can receive a Mental Herb from the guy sitting by the northwest computer and you can trade a Chansey for Sid’s Chimchar Furball, which is holding a Misty Seed. In the Library speak to the old woman on the right and she’ll give you a pair of Wise Glasses. Head through the Gate and step out in the eastern area of the Hiencuro Icelands. (sneeze, sniffle) screw this weather.

She thanks him and on her way out she suggests that he check out the Battle Bistro while he’s here. Afterwards one of the attendants at the front desks calls Micah over and give him a Frontier of his own.

Now you can Fly or Soar to the Battle Frontier and the game goes on to explain the Battle Points system. Also the Frontier Net function is then added to ITPNav’s Regris Net and that’s what will keep a record of the progress you make here.

Look at this place, where does one even begin huh? This is just the main area of the Battle Frontier, there’s another area on an island south from here and that’s where the Cord Tower is located. Getting to the Battle Frontier is the second among requirements that you must fulfill to unlock the final major battle in the game, with the first requirement of course being the completion of the main story. I’ll just give you a tour of the Battle Frontier and you can compete in the facilities at your own pace and time. We’re going in a clockwise fashion, starting from the northeast:

Battle Mine

“Explore our vast mine system!“

On the left of the entrance are steps leading to a grass spot on a slope, there’s a hidden Max Repel on it.

In the lobby of the Battle Mine Micah is met by a familiar face – former Colen Elite Four member Erdes, this is surprise for both of them.

Micah thought he would be back in Colen but Erdes explains that after the changes which were done to the Colen League he no longer had a job there and so he got a call to become a Frontier Brain here.

This facility is for Singles Battles, with a challenge that goes on until you lose or win 100 matches. You enter with a team of 3 Pokemon and the battles are under Inverse Battle rules.

Outside the Battle Mine is a stall operated by a Pokemon Printer (1BP per print) and an Egg Moves Tutor (free service). On the right of the stall is a Frontier Move Tutor:

Nasty Plot 10BP
Dragon Dance 15BP
Agility 5BP
Cosmic Power 10BP

Encore 10BP
Grassy Terrain 5BP

Battle Woods

“Survive in our deep forests!“

Micah meets Florbella here, who wonders if he can handle the challenge of this facility. Sounds like it could be on par with the Forest of Death from Naruto, where’s Anko??

This facility is for Singles Battles, with a challenge that goes on until you lose or win 100 matches. You enter with a team of 3 Pokemon and they start on Level 1. They will gain experience and level up as you progress, and this is the same for your opponent’s Pokemon too.

Just south of the Battle Woods entrance is the BP Exchanger, he’ll convert your BP into regular money:

1BP -> P1000
10BP -> P10000

Surrounding the Pokemon Center are 4 stalls. The northeast stall sells TMs:

TM68 Giga Impact 50BP

Battle Bistro

“We welcome every visitor in our bar!“

Hikigo is here, where she kicked off her musical career and still plays because people dig her music.

This facility is for Singles Battles, with a challenge that goes on until you lose or win 100 matches. You enter with a team of 3 Pokemon and before each match a random condition is selected for it.

Battle Marine

“Take on the Marine Tower Challenge!“

We meet Hav here, someone from the Hupest region who thinks Micah looks familiar at first but ends up not recognising him. Curiously enough he runs a similar facility back in Hupest.

Just like a traditional Battle Tower, there are Single and Double Battle rooms here. Your challenge goes on until you lose. You enter with 3 Pokemon for the Single Battles and with 4 Pokemon for the Double Battles. Multiple rooms, multiple Trainers, you know the drill.

At the beach you’ll see 2 Explorers, they are Frontier Miners who will mine items for you for 5BP. Surf east to a whirlpool blocking access to a cluster of rocks that surrounds TM73 Thunder Wave, then continue south to the second area of the Battle Frontier.

Battle Notes
– Magnezone’s Hidden Power type is Fighting.

You can battle him multiple times (just don’t talk to him again after a battle because he’ll start up another one immediately).

In Cord Tower you ascend the tower by defeating the s who occupy each floor. Reminds me of the Heavens Arena from Hunter x Hunter. You cannot leave the tower until you lose and if you do lose, all your progress will be reset. Damn, they ain’t playing games around here. There are 6 Floors. The s’ Pokemon’s levels are at the same level as your highest levelled Pokemon and items can’t be used in battle, which are set to prevent you from switching out before the next foe Pokemon is released. The good news is that your Pokemon are healed in between battles. Completing the Cord Tower challenge is necessary to acquire the event items associated with certain Legendary and Mythical Pokemon later, so whenever you are ready…

On Floor 1 is Meo. Enough said.

Phew and that ends the tour of the Battle Frontier…but the detour before we travel to Almia isn’t over yet because there are some Legendary and Mythical Pokemon which can be obtained now and it’s best to get them first before we get busy with whatever awaits us in Almia.

Forces of Nature

This trio is found while Soaring around Regris. Tornadus is in the northeast area of the map.

Type: Dark
Ability: Bad Dreams/Soul-Heart

Deoxys – The DNA Pokemon
(Normal Forme)
Level: 55
Type: Psychic
Ability: Pressure
Moves: Snatch, Psycho Shift, Zen Headbutt, Cosmic Power

For a while I liked the battle theme for the Regis, until I heard Deoxys’ theme and it was a worthy successor.

Legendary Birds

Return to Qendro City and into the building where the Joltik Quest was (go straight west from the Pokemon Center to find the building’s entrance). Once you’re in the lobby enter the room on the right and this is where you find Steven Stone and Professor Oak. Don’t speak to Steven just yet, we’ll get to him later, go chat with Oak and learn that he has heard about the Legendary Birds being seen in Regris.

Accept his Quest and off we go to find those Pokemon.

[q24] Bird Hunt
– Locate Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos!

For Articuno, Soar to Mt. Temporita and as soon as you arrive on the slope go east to find it.

Articuno – The Freeze Pokemon
Level: 50
Type: Ice/Flying
Ability: Pressure/Snow Cloak
Moves: Ancient Power, Agility, Freeze-Dry, Reflect

Zapdos is found while Soaring east from Hiencuro City.

Zapdos – The Electric Pokemon

Afterwards go back to Oak to complete the Quest then speak to him again and he’ll tell you about rumours of Mewtwo being in Qengon Cavern.

The specific area of Qengon Cavern you’re going back to is the B2F room where Micah saved Olean (reached via the southwest ladder in B1F).

Mewtwo – The Genetic Pokemon
Level: 70
Type: Psychic
Ability: Pressure/Unnerve
Moves: Safeguard, Swift, Future Sight, Psych Up

Regirock, Regice, Registeel

Now we can chat with the former Hoenn Champion.

He’s in Regris because of news about the Regis being here after an incident which happened in Hoenn. I’m not sure what this incident was, could be something from the first Saiph game maybe? Because Steven is aware that Micah is also from Hoenn and that incident led to Micah leaving. The clue that Steven gives about where the Regis are located is caves that were blocked by big boulders. We’ve seen our fair share of those.

[q22] Golems Return
– Locate Regice, Regirock and Registeel in Regris!

We begin with Regirock and the search for it begins in Sabbio Town. Enter the cave in the northeast part of town and find a strange monument inside which has some Braille text on it but is also missing a piece. You can’t conduct any Regi business without any Braille involved I see. Only one word can be read on the monument – OF.

Exit the cave and go west into the desert. Climb to the top of the slopes just outside town and go north along those slopes to find the missing Rocky Piece.

Then head back to the cave, place the piece back in and wake up the golem.

Regirock – The Rock Peak Pokemon
Level: 45
Type: Rock
Ability: Clear Body/Sturdy
Moves: Curse, Ancient Power, Iron Defense, Stone Edge

Return to the western side of the Hiencuro Icelands and enter the cave in the southeast area. There’s an ancient monument missing a piece here as well and has SYNC in Braille.

Exit and return to Mt. Temporita. From the spot where Articuno was found go down the stairs all the way to the southeast corner to find the Icy Piece.

Regice – The Iceberg Pokemon
Level: 45
Type: Ice
Ability: Clear Body/Ice Body
Moves: Curse, Ancient Power, Amnesia, Ice Beam

Head for the Tempou Ruins and enter the central room of the internal area. The ancient monument here has WORLD in Braille.

Leave the ruins and go to the Regris Sea area south of Podeti Bay. On the western side is a patch of land where the Steely Piece is located.

Registeel – The Iron Pokemon
Level: 45
Type: Steel
Ability: Clear Body/Light Metal
Moves: Iron Defense, Amnesia, Iron Head, Flash Cannon

Add the Regis to your party in the order of Regice, Regirock and Registeel then go back and speak to Steven to complete the Quest as well as have him share information about Regigigas.

This includes a myth about it being sealed away in Almia because it was perceived to be too powerful. Good to know.

Legendary Beasts

Return to Podeti Bay and enter the building on the left of the Happiny Quest girl, that’s where you’ll meet Professor Elm.

With your experience of chasing down Legendary Pokemon he hopes you can help him find the trio that has been spotted running around the region.

Starting with Raikou, you’ll find it on the bottom right of the Regris Police HQ entrance.

Moves: Stomp, Flamethrower, Swagger, Fire Fang

Return to Prof. Elm to complete the Quest and find out about Ho-Oh, which is known to fly above clouds.

You’ll see it while Soaring over Fillbur Isle.

Ho-Oh – The Rainbow Pokemon
Level: 75
Type: Fire/Flying
Ability: Pressure/Regenerator
Moves: Punishment, Ancient Power, Safeguard, Recover

Return to Marrgon City and catch the boat to the Dive spot. Once you’re underwater go south to the next area then go through the southwest opening there to enter a room occupied by Lugia.

Lugia – The Diving Pokemon
Level: 75
Type: Psychic/Flying
Ability: Pressure/Multiscale
Moves: Punishment, Ancient Power, Safeguard, Recover

Weather Trio

Back in Marrgon City enter the house which is next to the Pier and find Professor Birch.

Another major figure from Micah’s former homeland and he says he knew Micah’s mother. Had the original Saiph not bugged out on me I would’ve gone on to find out what exactly happened in Hoenn. Birch will give you Quest 23:

[q23] Primal Hunt
– Locate Groudon and Kyogre!

To find Groudon, return to 1F of Filuse Volcano’s first cave and climb down to B1F via the ladder on the right. Then go west to climb the ladder there.

Double Phew, so ends the detour folks. Those are the Legendary Pokemon which can be obtained now. Afterwards return to Podeti Bay, head for the Podeti Docks office and set off for Almia.

How far is Almia from Regris anyway, because Olean is glad that she and Micah have arrived here after some time.

At least nothing bad happened along the way. A man is waiting for Olean and Micah by the port and discourages them from going to the ruins because the researchers who are there have gone missing.

Just as we arrive in a new place the trouble begins (sigh) the first mission in Almia: Look for the lost researchers in the temple. Let’s have a look around the village first before heading out:

Go south from the port and Surf to the small land on the bottom right to get a Gyarados Shard. In the village proper enter the central building via the left door, this leads to a room occupied by Cord Meo. For defeating him he’ll give you the Lustrous Orb.

Southeast from the building is a King’s Rock below a rock wall. The northeast exit leads to a dock where you can catch a boat to a place called Memory Arena, but at the moment there are guards blocking the exit and they say the place isn’t ready for visitors yet.

Completing the Memory Arena event is another requirement for the final major battle to be unlocked, make a note of that. On the left side of the north building is TM50 Overheat and that’s all for Haruba Village for now. The old man standing by the north exit mentions that some strange individuals were around recently and went north. Who could they be?

Did you have a fun time trekking through Sabbio Desert? Great, here’s another desert. You’ll see a rock wall just up ahead, climb onto the slope and continue up along it to pick up a Max Potion by a ledge and TM87 Swagger further up. Back to the main path then continue north to meet Thomas, Ted and Martin.

Next to him is one of the so-called weirdos that the old man was talking about, they just warn you off from entering the Hippowdon Temple because the group is busy “sciencing” there. Right.

Before we go in and find out what’s going on, go all the way to the right and climb up onto the northeast slope to get a Kangaskhan Shard. By the temple’s entrance Olean wonders why there’s a crowd given that we heard about missing researchers.

Micah notices that these people are in uniform and wants to know what they’re up to. Someone speaks, urging the people to proceed and that clears the entrance. Olean goes on ahead and this gives you a chance to get ready before following after her.
