[Text Only] Let’s Play: Pokémon Platinum [Nuzlocke Challenge] – Part 19


           Well, I have to admit the last segment was a big travesty and to be honest the future of this run looks really bleak. But I won’t give up until I win or get a game over. So on to Lake Acuity… *sigh* God help me….

            I find Barry and Team Galactic Commander Jupiter who already has the Pokémon of Lake Acuity. So that means Barry lost the battle and devastated by the loss he runs off vowing to make his team stronger. Jupiter gives me a nice piece of info and which leads me to their main HQ in Veilstone City.

            Back in Veilstone, we make our way to Team Galactic HQ where I meet up with Looker. He tells me to meet him at the Warehouse of the group instead of the main HQ since we will have the element of surprise if we enter in the back. Inside we fight a lot of Galactic grunts before making any real progress. Eventually, I find the key which allows us access to the main Galactic HQ. After awhile of exploring the place, I catch up with Looker who is spying on a Team Galactic meeting while Cyrus is making a speech about changing the universe and destroying the current world or something like that. After the speech I head to the top parts of the HQ to see if I can find the Lake Pokémon. Instead, I find Cyrus. He challenges me to another fight to test the strength of my Pokémon and my resolve.

            He begins the fight with his Sneasel and I lead with Emploeon. Sneasel uses Slash and I do some nice damage to it with Metal Claw. Another Slash and another Metal Claw and Sneasel goes down. He sends out his Crobat and I send out Porygon2 to be safe. However, he confuses me with Supersonic. He hits me with Poison Fang but I get off the Discharge. He uses Poison Fang again and Porygon2 shakes off the confusion and defeats it with Psybeam. Finally, he sends out his Lv. 46 Dark/Flying type Honchkrow. I am faster surprisingly and almost take it out in one shot with Discharge. He uses Drill Peck and brings me to low health. I use another Discharge and finish the fight. He allows me access to the room where the Lake Pokémon are being held and says that if I want to stop him to come to the Spear Pillar atop Mt. Coronet. He also gives me the Master Ball which I can use to catch any Pokémon without fail. I already have a few Pokémon in mind I can use this on. I head into the chamber where the Pokemon are being held but both Command Saturn and Charon are waiting for me.

            Saturn challenges me to a rematch for what happened at Lake Valor. He starts out with Golbat and I send in Porygon2. Golbat uses Air Cutter to try and damage me but I defeat it with a Discharge attack. Next is his Lv. 44 Toxicroak which uses Brick Break on me. Porygon2 lives with just 18 HP and is able to take it out in one shot with Psybeam. That was close… His Bronzor is the last up to fight and I send in Empoleon to finish this fight. Two surf attacks are all it takes to end this battle. Saturn steps aside defeated allowing me to set from Mespirit, Azelf, and Uxie. Cyrus needed them to create the Red Chain needed for calling forth the legendary Pokémon of Space and Time which will allow him to create a new universe, destroying this one. I need to head up to the Spear Pillar as quick as possible and stop them.  

            Back inside Mt. Coronet Looker and I discover that Team Galactic has already passed us up and are heading for the summit. Looker realizes that in battle I’m far superior to him and even most of Team Galactic and sends me up alone to stop them as a test of strength… thanks Looker… *sigh* I climb up the caves of the mountain fighting many Team Galactic grunts along the way. Eventually, I make my way to the snowy parts of the mountain where I encounter an Absol as my first encounter of Mt. Coronet (yes, I’ve been using Repels until I go to this point of the mountain). I finally catch it after a REALLY long struggle. I name the female Absol “Gale” since it is known to create wind storms in the anime and it’s also a female name.

            I finally make my way to the top of Mt. Coronet; I’ve made it to the Spear Pillar. However, I’m soon stopped by both Commanders Jupiter and Mars. They are both ready to challenge me to a 2 vs 1 battle but just in the nick of time, Barry comes to my side and makes this a fair 2 vs 2 fight. He says he’s trained his Pokémon to be much stronger and is here for revenge on Team Galactic for beating him at Lake Acuity. The battle begins and they both send out their Bronzors and I send out Umbreon whereas Barry sends out his new Pokémon Munchlax. After a long fight; Barry’s Munchlax lower’s their defenses with Screech so I can finally go in and defeat them with Umbreon’s Bite attacks. Next come out both Skuntank and Purugly at Lv. 46. I decide to send in my Lucario to beat them. Lucario, being Fighting/Steel takes Purugly out with ease and is not affected at all by Skuntank’s Dark and Poison attacks. After a few attacks they both go down to Lucario’s Close Combat and Aura Sphere moves. However, Barry’s Munchlax goes down in the process leaving him to send out his Staraptor. Next they send in both of their Golbats and I switch out Lucario for Porygon2. Staraptor’s Take Down attack defeats both of the Golbats thanks to a few critical hits. With that, Mars and Jupiter are defeated. Barry heals my Pokémon and then runs off and leaves the battle with Cyrus to me.

            Cyrus begins using the power of the Red Chain he forged from the Lake Pokémon and calls for the Pokémon of Time and Space; Dialga and Palkia. The two emerge from their slumber now under the command of Cyrus and the Red Chain, ready to create a new universe which means destroying the old one. This awakes the 3 Lake Pokémon who I freed earlier. They come to the Spear Pillar to try and stop this madness and keep the world in balance. However, they are not the only ones awakened by this. A dark and shadowy figure rises from the ground behind Cyrus. To stop him this shadow Pokémon takes him away to another dimension and they both disappear with the Lake Pokémon following behind them. Cynthia shows up just in time to see what has happened. She tells me that Dialga and Palkia aren’t the only Pokémon that are in control of Time and Space. We just witnessed the Pokémon of the shadows… Giratina. Because of the portal that Giratina left behind, Sinnoh is beginning to become distorted much like the shadows Giratina lives in. We decide that we should enter the portal and stop both Cyrus and Giratina. Cynthia and I enter… the Distortion World.
