After I’d finished Mossdeep Gym, I figured I’d track down the submarine Archie had stolen. Where might one find a submarine… At the bottom of the ocean, of course. I wonder if my new HM will help me out here…? Of course it did. I tracked down the submarine in no time and started to work my way through the Underwater Cavern, taking out Aqua Grunts as I went along and catching a new Zubat – named him Taser. A couple of close shaves later – Spice is something of a glass cannon, it seems – I made it to the final room, where a large, orca-shaped beast lay dormant in the middle of the room.
As I approached it, Archie appeared from behind me, and challenged me to a fight! I was slightly nervous given that he was pretty tough the last time we fought, but this time I was a whole lot stronger Archie was no match whatsoever. Major wiped the floor with his team singlehandedly.
When the match finished though, Archie laughed… He had the Red Orb with him, the Orb he’d obtained at Mount Pyre
When I got outside, the weather had taken a turn for the worse, to say the least. Torrential downpours now lashed the entire region of Hoenn; the whole world was flooding! And it was up to me to solve the problem. I Dived again to Sootopolis City on Steven’s advice, where I entered the Cave of Origin
My first wild Pokemon in this area was a Sableye, lv.32, female. I caught her after a few wasted Pokeballs – Sableye are unique (until Spiritomb in Gen.IV at least) in that they are Dark/Ghost type, meaning that no moves are super-effective against them. Pretty handy, except that Sableye’s stats are dross, and Spiritomb’s moveset is equally as dross. Ah well, it’s the thought that counts, eh? I named my new Sableye Shade, and moved on. I now wouldn’t be able to catch Kyogre (not that I would anyway, since Legendaries aren’t allowed on a Nuzlocke team), so I headed onwards to kill the beast.
I reached Kyogre, and sent out Major to do battle. Major had a level advantage (only one) and type advantage, with Kyogre being Water-type. I led with Thunderbolt, which took off over half Kyogre’s health, and Kyogre used Ice Beam. I prayed that it wouldn’t freeze Major… it didn’t. But Major had very little health left; while I was throwing unsuccessful Ultra Balls at Shade, he’d taken a few hits. One more Thunderbolt would finish Kyogre and pretty much save the world, but if it missed… I didn’t want to think about it. Major used Thunderbolt… it hit. Kyogre was down.
I’d saved the world.
I Escape Roped out of the cave, to rapturous applause, showers of women and riches and the general adulation of the entire human race. Or, in true Pokemon style, I left the cave and no-one even acknowledged it. Ho hum.
