Let's Play Pokemon Pearl Part 5: The Never Ending Story

Welcome back, short update, Abra and Starly are now teenagers, and want to go by Kadabra and Staravia.
The Return to Jubilife is short-lived as we must venture up north to Floaroma Town, but first we head west:
How is he just going to whip that out at us like that?

Absent: Please don't make this weirder than it already is by calling it that.

Well, we have a fishing rod, so let's fish!

We must wait until there is a "!" over our heads,
Then we press the A but...um, I mean reel it in.
Unfortunately, the Old Rod only attracts Pokemon that have their mouths open for anything, aka Magikarp and Feebas
Sometimes you get nothing at all. What? Fishing is boring? How can you not appreciate a fine sport like fishing? Fine, we'll get back to some plot...

Damn, and I took my sweet time to avoid this.

Absent: What's going on here?
Rowan: Rabble, rabble, rabble.
Absent: HOW DARE THEY?!

Rowan: It's Prof. Rowan!
Absent: Calm down, I'll get rid of these guys.
Mystery man: Isn't my name cool right now? It's so mysterious. Oh yes, script, Hahahaha, Give us all your research data and we won't hurt your assistant.
Dawn: You can't handle me!

I guess she meant "us". Since this is our first double battle, I will show a feature only available in these.

With names like that, what else would they be?

Galactic Grunts: Wurmple lvl 9, Zubat lvl 9

This is the screen to choose which of the Pokemon we will attack, notice that the Pokemon on our side is also on here, this can be to use moves to assist the other Pokemon, build up stats or...
Damage them yourself. :P

Grunt: Team Galactic is above all else, now we depart.

So, this is Team Galactic, the main gang with some sort of world domination plot, doesn't sound familiar in the least.

Rowan: They are after the energy that is released from when a Pokemon evolves.
Absent: What could they do with this energy?
Rowan: I am not sure, but this power is an amazing force that should not be trifled with. Anyway, nice fight Absent, thanks for getting rid of that scum.

Bill Nye the Science Guy segment? In MY LP, I am honored.

Dawn: Prof. Rowan also studies the evolution of Pokemon, and has found that 90% of Pokemon have ties in evolution.

NOW YOU KNOW!

Absent: Who the hell are you?
Perez: I'm Perez Hilton, for some reason I am working at a TV station here.
Absent: I'm not even surprised anymore.
Perez: Well, I got this for you so you can doll those cute little animals up.
Absent: They're called Pokemon.
Perez: Bitch, I don't care, they look like animals to me. Anyways, here.

Perez: Send me pictures of those adorable little things.
Absent: They are called PO-KE-MON!
Perez: Whatever, don't get your panties in a bunch.
Absent: I don't wear panties...
Perez: Oops, I guess some people just don't. Teehee.

Perez: Well, see ya, honey!
Absent: -_-'

Fashion case holds accessories which we can dress our Pokemon in, for contests and such.
Let's head on over to Route 204 and the road to Floaroma Town, and quite a few trainers along the way.
Overconfident trainers with weak Pokemon. Why?
Lass: Bidoof lvl 7
Youngster: Magikarp lvl 5, Starly lvl 5 (His dad must not love him)
Lass: Budew lvl 7

This is the most overly dramatic name for a cave in the history of Pokemon.

Antidote is used to heals the poison status from our Pokemon.

To the west of this "Ravaged" path is TM39.
TM39 - Rock Tomb::Rock -It may lower speed and cause the opposing Pokemon to flinch.
Absent: Okay, you do that, and while your distracted, I'll beat you!
Aroma Lady: (sniffing flowers) You said something?
Absent: The scent of a rose fills the evening air.
Aroma Lady: How poetic.

Nows, our chance, ChimpsAhoy, Kill those bitches with Ember!

Aroma Lady: Budew lvl 7, Cherubi lvl 7

Awakening is an item used to treat our Pokemon of herpes. Should not be used by Pokemon who smoke, or have kidney problems, contact Nurse Joy to find out if Awakening is right for your Pokemon.

Bug Pokemon are the joke of the Pokemon world. The types they are effective against, Grass, Psychic, and Dark, can probably own them before they get touched.

Bug Catcher: Kricketot lvl 7, Wurmple lvl 7

OMG, TWINS! And look what they are telling me, it's like a dream come true.

WTF? How old are they. If it's not what I'm thinking, they just killed my dreams.

Twins Liv & Liz: Pachirisu lvl 9(x2)

Now we are in Floaroma Town (finally), to the north we find two Galactic Grunts talking:
Grunt 1: I feel gay standing around these flowers.
Grunt 2: Stop your whining, little girl, I don't like being here either. Bug and Grass Pokemon are ewwies.

We can't do anything with them now, so let's invade people's houses.

We get rewarded for something that should be illegal, again.
TM88 - Pluck::Flying - If the foe has a berry, the attack does double the damage(120) and the user takes the berry's effect.

In the Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop, we get the Sprayduck.
Sprayduck can be used to water berries planted in the ground, if there are multiple ones in a line, you can spray them all.

Plot, plot, plot, plot, plot.
To the east on Route 205 we find a little girl, who needs help.
Little girl: My Papa is being held captive by some weirdos in space suits.
Absent: Do these weirdos have bowl haircuts and look like Elton John?
Little girl: Yes, that's them.
Absent: Damn you, Team Galactic!

Grunt: I was ordered to only let Team Galactic members in.
Absent: I am in Team Galactic.
Grunt: Yeah, right. You don't even have the stylish haircut and chic clothing. Let's battle, and when you lose, you leave.

Galactic Grunt #132: Glameow lvl 11


Grunt: Well, I didn't say I'd let you in, I will just lock myself in.
Absent: Is there any other key?
Grunt: Yeah, in Floaroma Town, some members were posted by the meadow. I can tell they didn't really like being there, I think one of them hates Bug Pokemon.
Absent: Thanks for the info. See ya!
Grunt: Huh? Wait...(dammit)

What did we walk into?? o_O

They are REALLY into the group thing.

Absent: Did the Cat in the Hat summon you guys?
Grunt 1: Oh, look a witness has come this way,
Grunt 2: He will not beat us, not today.
Grunt 1: I will be first to battle you, little brat,
Grunt 2: Then I'll exterminate you like a rat.
Absent: STFU, and battle me!

Grunt 1: Wurmple lvl 9
Grunt 2: Silcoon lvl 9

Grunt 2: Why'd he have to make this plan so rough?
Absent: ARRGGH!!!
Grunt 1: Okay, okay, now we'll go,
Grunt 2: Since you're acting like a ho.

Now we can get into Valley Windworks.

It was a different kind of honey, what a relief.
This honey can be put on trees to attract Pokemon, at least 6 hours must pass before a Pokemon shows up, and after 24 hours, both the honey and Pokemon will be gone.

Grunt: I have to warn the Commander of this incident that I have nothing to do with.

Between that coward and the Commander are two more Grunts.

Grunt 2.56: Cascoon lvl 11
Grunt V: Wurmple lvl 10, Glameow lvl 10

She's kind of hot, too bad she is in a cult, I wonder if the carpet matches the room(or something). They always get the dumb ones. To prove she is dumb, after MY Pokemon got poisoned, she asks that question.

Commander Mars: This doesn't spoil our plans to create a new, better world. I enjoyed our battle, so I will leave here respectfully, but this is not the end of Team Ro...Galactic!

Papa: Is full of psychos, they are talking about creating a new universe with the energy of Pokemon. They need to all be institutionalized. At least now, I can see my little girl.

Little girls shouldn't know that kind of language, but who are we to judge?

Papa: You don't even want to know why I smell like that...

I covered a lot of ground today, so I think it's time to take a little break with my Pokemon.

Next time: One of my Pokemon is terminally ill, will he die? RokHardAbs is reunited with his estranged brother, but what will they do when they find out the dark secret their parents held from them for all their lives? Find out next time on All My Pokemon.
