Yeah, I was kinda saddened when I learned you still have to hold B to run.

But anyways, just started and man, there are a lot of Pokemon. I keep catching everything new I see, but every time I think I'm done with the area, a new mon just pops up.

The game was bad pointing out that you can assign Shauna to any corner/intersection, not just the two she pointed out. Once I figured that out it was easy to trap it.

1. Actually different areas have different Pokemon for the Old Rod. I caught a Poliwag in a new location with it.

2. And Lucario sure is looking to become one of Pokemon's mascot species which they plaster on everything and everywhere.

To my daily report:

So I spent an hour or two today messing around in Lumiose City now that it has opened up (as well as going back to locations with water to ee what I could fish up with my Good Rod... and at the end of the day when I got my Super Rod). Honestly there's really nothing which stands out, though I did find another exclusive restaurant which has spinning "dancing" kimono girls. There was also one restaurant which had Double Battles, another which uses Triple & Rotational Battles, and finally one which I was told I could only enter if I was as strong as the Champion. Let's see, there's was this odd shop which just sold all the different kinds of Pokeballs which I guess is nice but honestly I've been having no problems with Ultra Balls. Oh, there's an art museum which features old artwork from previous games. I also found Alexa and the only thing she does is talk about the various boutiques around Lumiose City. Finally there's a lot of alleys and sometimes they have trainers to battle, though often they're empty and lead to dead ends.

However I thought I found something interesting: I thought I found a ghost. After entering a random building and going up the elevator, the lights in the building flashed and behind me there was this gothic looking girl who says I wasn't the person she was waiting for, the lights flashed once more and she was gone. I continued on my tour of the city when I thought I found the ghost once again in a hotel, hiding in a nearby room saying she's listening for the elevator. Upon finished my tour of Lumiose City I met up with the friends/rival on Route 14 where they rushed off to check out a Haunted House. Upon traveling to said Haunted House I got into a trainer battle with the ghost... and then I found out what was happening. The previous girls weren't ghosts (at least I don't think they were), but are the "Hex Maniac" trainer class. Route 14 and the route & cities after it is filled with Hex Maniacs.

Speaking of Route 14, after going to the Haunted House (spoiler: it's nothing special, just a guy who tells you a "scary" story and asks for money. Your friend rivals noting what a ripoff) I was close to entering the next city when I got into another trainer battle. Now Route 14 is sort of a spooky route: it's a bog with dead trees, stones that look like gravestones placed about, is dark, plays creepy music, and Hex Maniacs everywhere acting weird. So when I'm about to leave you imagine my surprise that the last trainer battle of that route is... a happy little girl in a pink dress who's trainer class is "Fairytale Girl" or something like that. In addition, the route that was a creepy fog leads into a city which was very fairytale in nature with mushrooms all about and tree buildings. If you haven't guessed, this is the city with the Fairy-type Gym Leader.

Now I plan on talking about the Gyms later, though I must say I was interested with the concept at first until I found out what the puzzle was. Now first, you think what would a Fairy-type Gym be like? Well, to Game Freak, it apparently means doll house as the Gym was a giant 9 room doll house: 3 floors with 3 room each. Interesting concept, so you imagine you'll need to travel through the rooms to find the stairs to travel to the top where the Gym Leader is, right. WRONG. The Gym Puzzle is our old friend Sabrina's Gym/Rocket Hideout TELEPORTER PUZZLE! Really? You have a new type that you plan to mix up the game with and even have a Gym for it... and the puzzle you choose to do has not only been done before, it's one of the most HATED puzzles in all the games? Oh, and remember when I joked about Valerie looking like a Pokemon? Well I wasn't far off, apparently she always wanted to be a Pokemon so she dresses up like one... yeah. Actually the Gym Leaders are sort of disappointing. Many don't appear outside of the Gym like the Unova Gym Leaders did, they merely exist to just be a boss and fade out of the story once their job is done.

However the disappointing Fairy Gym Puzzle leads into a fun conveyor belt puzzle. After getting the Fairy Badge you're then taken to the Pokeball Factory which has been taken over by Team Flare. With grunts blocking access to the walkways and your character for some reason not using their Pokemon to lift the grunt in your way and throw them aside, you got to use the conveyor belts to get around. Eventually you save the factory though Team Flare had taken a huge amount of Pokeballs, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls and as I was walking out I was wondering if this would effect the price of Pokeballs. Well, upon getting outside my Holo Caster turned on and a hologram of a reporter lady appeared who reported about the Pokeball Factory attack but assured that prices of Pokeballs won't be affected. Gotta applaud the foresight of them putting that in there.

Oh but we're not done with Team Flare shenanigans yet. After getting to a snowy city (though we're not up to the Ice-type Gym yet, remember we still have the Psychic Gym to go) and going to explore some ice caves, we hear that something is going on it there. So we go in and after exploring through it (BTW, they brought back ice sliding puzzles, now with diagonal sliding though good luck getting the controls to slide you sideways!) you find Team Flare bothering an Abomasnow. So you defeat Team Flare after revealing their plans involved harnessing the potential power of Pokemon (which you've been beaten over the head with is the power Mega Evolutions use) and after they leave the Abomasnow gives you a Abomasnowite (though oddly doesn't battle you. Also didn't find a Snover/Abomasnow in the caves either, just Cubchoo/Beartic and a new Pokemon which I'll talk about later). But after that it was pretty much where I stopped since I went back to do a few things (taking care of Berries, battling in the Battle Chateau, fishing all around with my Super Rod which you get from the route which connects the snowy city to Castelia City).

Hmm, what else to mention:

Found out that the power for Surf, Flamethrower, and Thunderbolt have been reduce to 90, guessing the same applies to Ice Beam. Also Flare Blitz and Brave Bird has been reduced to 110. BUT the "Pledge" moves have been increased to 80 meaning they're actually useable now... well the Fire- and Grass-type anyway until you find the TM for Flamethrower and Energy Ball (already got the HM for Surf). Speaking of Energy Ball, Valerie gives you a TM for a Fairy-type move that's basically a Fairy-type Energy Ball/Shadow Ball which is nice... too bad Delphox can't learn it (which I don't know why, it's suppose to be a Mage so you'll think it would be able to learn Special moves like that one and Thunderbolt but apparently not (thought it can learn Charge Beam for an odd reason)). However that's okay as I found the Move Relearner in the snow city and used some Heart Scales to teach Charizard Air Slash and Delphox Shadow Ball.

There was a reference to Rhythm Knight.

Between the Fairy Gym city and the snowy city there's apparently ruins of a hotel which are covered with Punks. I tried to explore it but they wouldn't let me through because they didn't like my clothes. I'm guessing that means I need to dress up as a Punk but I wouldn't know what that details, and even if I did the clothing selections I have is kind of bad (unless I have to buy clothes for new ones to show up...).

Oh, in the Snow city you meet with Professor Sycamore and finally he tells you a bit about Yveltal. It apparently lives for a thousand years, and once its time it is up it drains the life force of everyone near it. Lovely.

And finally new Pokemon: First I encounter this goo slug and later fought against what I assumed to be its evolution: a goo snail. I finally caught my own Klefki an apparently it does like collecting keys, people even use it to protect keys to safe and vaults. While exploring the ice caves I found this living icicle Pokemon and later fought what I assume to be its evolution at the Battle Chateau which was basically a icicle/glacier turtle who's top is flat. Then in the route between Lumiose City and snowy city I found this Ghost/Grass-type which is a pumpkin but instead of green top it was black and in a shape of a bat. Also while Super Rod fishing I encountered Skrelp's evolution but didn't catch it since I'll just evolve the Skrelp I have. And finally there's Syvleon who Valerie used yet no one mentions how you get it. I thought that someone in the Fairy Gym city would tell you about Sylveon and hint how Eevee evolved into it, but nothing. So I went online and found out how you get Sylveon: you max out Eevee's happiness (the hearts) in Pokemon-Amie and level it up WHILE it knows a Fairy-type move (guess the last step is to assure it doesn't evolve into a Espeon or Umbreon?).

That's all I can think of, seeya tomorrow!

Congrats on the Shiny! I didn't know that in Horde Battles if there are two different species who would be natural rivals that they would fight each other in addition to you. It's a nice touch to detail though I never witnessed it, all my Horde Battles was the same species and only attacked and basically trolled my Pokemon.

Daily Report:

I FINISHED THE GAME! Got through Victory Road just fine though it does require you to use the Surf and Strength HM once (if you're going to force us to use the HMs at least have us use it multiple times! If you're only going to have us use it once then why bother? It's not like its to prevent players from going someplace they aren't suppose to yet because in order to enter Victory Road we NEED ALL 8 BADGES! Always have, always will!). Only notable things about Victory Road is that Serena battles you one last time and thanks you for being her friend and renews our rivalry.

So I finally get to the Pokemon League and after healing up, buying Hyper Potions & Full Restores, and choosing 3 extra Pokemon (ended up going in with Quacklin' (he is near the level of my Fire Starters), a Bisharp I got from a trade in the last city, and a Trevenant (the "living" tree Pokemon we knew as Orotto, it's a Grass/Ghost-type). I always taught them some TMs, not that I used them but just in case) I went in. There's a hallway which has a NPC tell you that, like in Gen V, you can choose what order you want to battle the Elite Four (a nice features I'm glad they kept). So I go into the actual Elite Four room and meet one of the members of the Elite Four, the Fire-type specialist Malva, who recognizes me as the trainer that defeated Team Flare and tells me I need to defeat all members of the Elite Four before battling the Champion and leaves for her room saying she'll be waiting. There's no indication who's room it is until you go inside and it gives you the room's name which hints at what type it is. Went top left first which was:

Steel: After entering the room and taking the elevator, I'm transported to a room where TWO GIANT SWORDS FOR FROM THE SKY ON EITHERSIDE OF ME! The swords turn like a key which lowers all the walls revealing the Steel-type Elite Four Member, Wikstrom, who greets me speaking like a ye olde knight. So we battled and my Mega Blaziken pretty much cleaned him up, though I did have some problems when Blaze Kick kept missing (90 Accuracy my @$$...) but overall I beat him. He congratulates me for winning, saying I must have battled him first because I knew he was the "toughest" so I wanted to get him out of the way, and then sends me off.

Fire: The top right room leads to Malva who we talked too. Upon entering the elevator we're taken to a room which has two giant pillars or flame shoot up (yup, the fire pillar room in the trailer is her room, except instead of it being empty she's sitting in her chair). Malva greets you and the battle was pretty much over in 4 moves as my Mega Blaziken OHKOed all her Pokemon. Malva reveales that she's a Holo Caster star and says she'll report about my victory over the Champion, of course I first need to defeat two more Elite Four members and the Champion before she can do so.

Dragon: Bottom left room has an elevator which goes down to a room which has a dragon statue in front of it. The dragon statues moves, spreading its wings and opening its mouth to reveal the Elite Four member as two incenses start to release smoke. Going up and talking to the Dragon-type Elite Four Member, Drasna, she acts very motherly and appreciates having company. You battle and I repeat what I did against Malva. Drasna congratulates you and as you leave she tells you goodbye and hopes you come again.

Water: Bottom right's room's elevator takes you to a room which has two giant taps which turn and soon the room is filled with shallow water, it's raining, and the walls are covered by waterfalls. You go up to the Water-type Elite Four Member, Siebold, who asks you if battling is an art form. I say "Yes" because I feel very satisfied when I OHKO my opponent and Siebold then talks about cooking for some reason (don't know if that means he's an artist or a cook) and we battle, me OHKOing his entire team with Mega Charizard (probably could have done it with Mega Blaziken though I wanted that SolarBeam to back me up. Also Drought activates as soon as Charizard Mega Evolves). I forgot what he says after though he sends me off since I defeated all members of the Elite Four and now its time to face the Champion.

Champion: So we take the now activate elevator in the hub room which takes us up to room which sort of looks like a bedroom with white drapes and a stained glass window floor (though if you looked closely you can see the outer design of the stained glass has a symbol representing each Type). So it's revealed by dramatic camera posing that the Champion is Diantha who starts off her Champion speech but stops upon recognizing us as the trainer who she met a few times and the one who defeated Team Flare. She thanks you and start the battle... where I OHKOed all her Pokemon with Mega Blaziken (she did manage to Mega Evolve her Gardevoir before I OHKO it though). So I win and Diantha reveals Professor Sycamore talked to her about preparing for a new Champion and that he's going to throw a parade in our honor, but before that we enter the elevator again to enter my team into the Hall of Fame.

PARADE TIME! Or more like Star Wars Medal Ceremony as me, Serena, Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor walk up onto a stage in front of Lumiose Tower where Professor Sycamore congratulates not only me for becoming Champion but as well all of us for saving Kalos (more like the world, but whatever) from Team Flare and we're all given medals! Suddenly AZ appears and challenges us to a battle, wanting to know what a trainer is. You battle him and Mega Blaziken OHKOs his entire team as he did with the Pokemon League. After the battle AZ says he understands and says I'm a trainer with great potential giving a small smile. Then a light shines down on him and floating down is a Floette, AZ's Floette, who floats into his hands as he falls to his knees. Professor Sycamore walks up to us and says that Floette must have been waiting all this time for AZ to return to the man that it used to know, one who loves and not hates. And after that happy reunion we go to end credits where we're also shown some concept art and lyrics to a song which goes along with the music playing (would it have killed them to hire someone to sing the song? It's the end credits afterall...).

Post game time and you wake up in your house where your mom congratulates you and says that Professor Sycamore wants to meet you in Lumiose Station. I go outside and Shauna is there and she wants to trade with you. What does she want to trade? HER STARTER! Actually she either found an egg which was the exact species of her Starter or bred her Starter with a Ditto/female of her Starter's species since she's offering you the first stage (for me it was a Chespin nicknamed Chester... don't know why she nicknamed it if she was going to trade it to me but whatever). I trade her a Skitty since I imagine she'll like it (not that we'll ever see it again, though would be neat if we ever battle Shauna again for her to use the Pokemon you gave her). Anyway I quickly checked its stats and it couldn't be any more perfect, it has increased Attack and decreased Special Attack. Anyway I flew to Lumiose City, took a cab to the Lumiose Station, and upon entering you're stopped by Dexio and Sina who updates your Pokedex to the National Dex. They leave and you meet Professor Sycamore who gives you a pass to use the train to take you to Kiloude City where only strong trainers are allowed. So after he leaves I take the train to Kiloude City.

Once there I'm stopped by a random NPC in front of the station who recognized me and as thanks for saving Kalos he gives me the VS Recorder. So I go into the "city" and aside from the main two attractions there's no much there (though a scientist said that I should go back to Sycamore's Lab to pick up the Dream Radar). As you might have guessed, Kiloude City contains your Battle Facility location, this time called the Battle Maison. The Battle Maison is owned by four sisters who are the bosses for the three styles of battling it offers: Single, Double, Multi, and Rotational (yet oddly no Triple or even Sky Battles). I cleared the Single Battles and battled the youngest sister, I think her name was Nina. Anyway, at least for the non-Super versions, after every battle you get 1 BP for the first 10 battles and 2 BP for battles 11 to 19, you fight the boss as the 20th battle. Also, after beating them you unlock the "Super" versions of those battles. It's your standard Battle Tower/Subway place pretty much with Rotational Battle as an added style for some reason.

However that's not the only place of interest, as we also have the Friend Safari... the WORST Safari Zone ever! Basically to use it you need to have friends registered on your 3DS and that'll determine the Pokemon you'll encounter during the Safari. Problem? If you have NO friends, like me, YOU CAN'T USE IT! *sigh* Apparently you can get Pokemon with their Hidden Abilities from there but it doesn't really make a difference to me.

So tomorrow I'll start doing whatever little postgame things there are to do as well as start giving my opinions on all the various parts of the game. Unfortunately Bulbapedia is slow on updating so I think I'll do things like Gym Leaders review, Team Flare opinions, discussions on what they did with Moves, Abilities, and Items before I go over the new Pokemon. However for those wanting to see some official artwork the official Pokemon XY website it still updating. Not only do they have more com mon artwork but they now also have one for the Final Starter evoutions, more Mega Evolutions, Lysandre, and even AZ!

Siebold is a cook. He's mentioned early on in one of the restaurants.

I did the Battle Maison, which unlocked another battle with Serena. With that done, I got my Mega Ring upgraded in Anistar and finally started the Looker sidequests in Lumiose.

I cried.

Daily Report:

Well I did several things today:

1. Serena appears in a relaxing area at the very top of Kiloude City for rematches. Even though she has finally gotten a Mega Ring of her own and uses it to Mega Evolve her Absol she was still an easy to defeat (though I showed some honor by using my Mega Blaziken against her Mega Absol). After the battle she tells me that Professor Sycamore has something to tell me at Anistar City, but before I leave she has a gift: Absolite! Apparently she has an extra (don't know how, I only ever find one of each Mega Stone but that's for later).

2. Going to Anistar City, I meet Professor Sycamore by the sundial and he talks more about the mechanics of Mega Evolution that it could be possible that its caused by Yveltal's excess energy. Eitherway he tells us to touch the giant red crystal statue and that apparently upgrades our Mega Ring since we've been in contact with Yveltal (by "contact" you mean owning it, then yes. What annoys me the most about that is the guy who talks about Yveltal in Anistar City still says the same thing about Yveltal being a myth... when I have it IN MY PARTY!). Anyone now I'm able to find more Mega Stones but only between 8 and 9 pm because... because... Game Freak wanted to troll us. Seriously, why only an hour window? Why even have a time limit? We can set the clock on out 3DS to the time and the game doesn't punish you for it so why bother? Even if it did why bother? Why can't I hunt for Mega Stones whenever I feel like it? If you wanted to put a restriction on when we could find Mega Stones, then why not have something which makes sense like needing the Pokemon which the Mega Stone is for? Well I got them all under an hour anyway since I had Serebii's guide and a video showing me where they are. And yes, that does mean I also traded with Diantha, I have her a newly caught Flabebe since I imagined she'd like it... and because it was the first wild Pokemon I encountered outside of Lumiose City. However, these was something which I did between getting the Mega Ring upgrade and finding the Mega Stones.

3. I headed to Lumiose City when upon entering the city I got a mysterious Holo Caster Call. The voice tells me he could use my help and to go to someplace called the Looker Bureau... well that much spoils who it is. That's right, our favorite International Police Officer Looker is in the game! We start Chapter 1 "This guy is a real...Looker" going to the Looker Bureau where we meet Looker who says he knows we're the Champion (about time somebody remembers, I went to that Boutique and VIP place in Lumiose City and they STILL wouldn't let me in!) and asks us to become his partner, explaining he opened up a detective agency to stop crimes in Lumiose City. I of course accept but tells me since I'm probably new to detective work he placed 5 "Looker Tickets" around the city we need to find. Don't worry though, there are clues which couldn't be anymore obvious where to go and on top of that the tickets give off a sparkle (according to their description, the tickets were handmade by Looker and it has a lot of glitter on it...). Anyway we bring back the tickets and we become official partners, telling us he'll call us when he has a mission for us. At the end of the chapter Looker has a sort of noir-like scene where he reveals he's looking for someone and promises to bring justice.

So I take a few steps away and Chapter 2 "In The Back Alleys" immediately starts with a Holo Caster call from Looker. Going back to the Looker Bureau, he explains that children have been playing in the dark alleys of Lumiose City and mothers all over are worried, so it's up to us to investigate why. We head to the closest back alley and sure enough there is a group of kids there. They formed some kind of club and the only way to get through is to battle each kid who are standing against the walls "Nugget Bridge" style. After defeating the final one a Espurr appears and Looker asks what it is, a voice saying it's named Mimi. The voice comes from a young girl in tattered clothes and after some discussion we find out the girl is homeless with no real family, only Mimi which she doesn't even have enough money to buy a Pokeball for. Looker can't just let a kid live on the streets so he calls social services to place the girl in a foster home... HA! No, actually Looker instead suggests taking her in as an assistant to get her off the streets. The girl isn't sure but Looker insists saying that Mimi could come with them, though when he gets close to Mimi she runs away, the girl explaining Mimi doesn't like adults or being touched. We're given the task to track down Mimi who's gone to the other 3 alleys on the other side of Lumiose City. When you find Mimi, you've given several options and if you were paying attention you'll know to choose the ones which don't involve touching her (smiling, dancing, singing, etc..). I personally did Smile and Dance and it was enough to make Mimi like me so I take her back to Looker and the girl. With both of them now trusting us, the girl and Mimi move into the office (Looker is living in the hotel) and the girl revealing her name to be Emma. We end Chapter 2 with another Noir-like scene, Looker wondering if he'll be able to make enough money to provide for him, Emma, and Mimi (meanwhile I'm rolling in cash because the Battle Chateau + Amulet Coin. If only Amulet Coin attacked with Lucky Incense...).

As before, take a few steps away and Chapter 3: "Detective, Tourist, Gang" starts with Looker asking to come to the Looker Bureau because there's something going on with Emma. At the Looker Bureau, Looker explains that Emma and Mimi are acting strange and he's worried if he's causing them to stress out. Before we could think any more on the subject, a women comes running in and shouting about something. What something? I don't know, her dialogue is in Japanese. Me and Looker have no clue what she's saying, though Looker uses his "base" understanding of foreign language to come up with that she's upset no one has served her high quality tea yet and goes out to fetch some *sigh*. Emma and Mimi then come in and the woman starts talking again, and coincidentally Emma just so happens to speak that language. At least I think she does, after talking with the lady Emma realizes we have no idea what's they're saying and has Mimi use her psychic powers to make us understand what they're saying. As it turns out, the woman's Pokemon were stolen though Emma gets angry at the woman for insulting me and Looker. Looker comes back and Emma tells him what happened though they shouldn't help because the woman was rude and she knows who took the Pokemon: the Lumiose Gang who hang out in Lumiose Station. Looker tells Emma that it doesn't matter if the woman was rude, stealing a Pokemon is a crime and they have to stop it and goes out after them. Emma tells us to chase after Looker as the gang will beat up Looker and that he has no Pokemon to defend him. Wait, what? What happened to Croagunk? Well if you talk to Emma again she reveals that Looker did have a Pokemon partner once but something happened and, though he didn't go into details, his partner didn't make it (that's right, LOOKER'S CROAGUNK DIED!). In addition if you read the notebook on the table you'll find out that Looker has been teaching Emma how to read and write and that she's a fast learner. There's also a picture on a table of Looker and... a blue and purple Pokemon... (though I kind of find it odd my character doesn't know what a Croagunk is. Not only are Croagunk native to Kalos, by pure coincidence, I HAD A CROAGUNK IN MY PARTY! (leveling it up to evolve)). Anyway we chase after Looker and we found out that the Lumiose Gang stole the Pokemon to lure Looker out because he took in their boss from the streets. That's right, Emma is the boss of the Lumiose Gang! The gang says now they'll beat Looker and take his Pokemon, though Looker doesn't have any Pokemon so its up to us to step in and defeat the gang. Well, "gang" as in 3 punks. You defeat them and Emma walks up and clears everything up: she's not their actual boss. She beat them up once and after that they started to call her boss. She tells them to return the Pokemon and to never do it again, which they comply. Looker also chimes in and says that stealing a Pokemon is a serious crime and they need to start cleaning up their act, and if they promise to, he'll let them visit Emma at the Looker Bureau which the Lumiose Gang agrees to. With that clear we all go back to the Looker Bureau and Emma says she's feeling like a burden on Looker as all she does is learn and gets taken care of but she doesn't give anything back, and Looker has refused to accept payment from the Japanese woman. Looker says that she's a kid and her job is to study and learn, he'll worried about the adult stuff. The chapter ends with Emma telling Mimi that now that she can read she's seen ads for jobs and thinks she'll take one to help Looker.

Step away, Chapter 4 "An Unforgiveable Crime" begins with Looker calling you about a crime that was just committed. At the Looker Bureau, Looker explains that a vandal broke into the Lumiose Museum and graffiti-ed all over a piece of art. However Looker has an appointment he needs to take and Emma isn't here so it's up to us to check the Museum. Going to the museum we see the curator on the top floor looking at the ruined piece of art asking us if we consider it a piece of art of its own. I said yes since I do believe their is art to graffiti, of course not on top of a priceless picture though we were only given a "Yes" or "No" option. The curator agrees saying that its a form of rebelling art though he's afraid that removing the graffiti would ruin the painting. With nothing more to do we go back to the Looker Bureau when a Holo Caster report starts (and I can't believe I didn't realize that the Holo Caster reporter is Malva upon meeting her at the Pokemon League) that there's someone stealing Pokemon all over Lumiose City. There's no time to lose and Looker says that the reports say the thief first battle their victims before stealing their Pokemon. So Looker says it's time for a sting operation and guess who's the bait? So it's back to the back alley for us as we go to the one closest to the Looker Bureau and find a female Veteran. We battle and she tries to steal my Pokemon (yeah, good luck with that) when Looker appears and the thief breaks her disguise to reveal to be... A ROBOT!

EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

Yeah, DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING! The robot jumps away and Looker says he never saw a human jump that high (you know, my Blaziken is also very athletic, it could probably chase after her easily...). I go into another alley where I meet a Fairy Tale Girl who, after beating her, tries to steal my Pokemon but Looker appears making the robot break her disguise and jumps off (... and my Charizard can FLY, no way she's escaping a dragon flying high above and seeing all...), Looker wondering if that could be a Pokemon (or, you know, a robot). Another alley and a battle with a Supermodel who then tries to steal my Pokemon but Looker appears and it breaks its disguise (... and finally my Delphox could just use her psychic powers to immobilize her. We have Pokemon, LET'S USE THEM!). But before the robot could jump off, Mimi suddenly appears and starts circling around the robot and jumping for joy. This confuses Looker until he comes to the horrifying conclusion that this thief is Emma and asks he what's going on. The thief starts to have a malfunction until coming back together and deciding to attack Mimi! Looker pushes Mimi out oft the way and takes the hit, the thief running off. Looker asks us to take him back to the Looker Bureau and asks us not to say anything to Emma about this if we see her since it looks like something was controlling her. Looker also says he has to go somewhere and says if Emma asks where he is to tell her he's at the hospital. The chapter ends with Looker saying that if he's ever going to find out what's happening, he'll have to make a deal with HER much to his anger.

(continued next post)
