Task 28

I’ll resume from the Grand Hall save, start a fresh recording, and raise the core team to level 130 before continuing the next quest.

The save loaded correctly and recording is active. I’m using the candies already earned, so no extra training battles are needed. Next is the Mewtwo quest and its puzzle route.

Swampert is raised to the cap, and the candy script is working through the rest of the team. I’m also preparing a checked sequence for the boulder puzzle so we can move through it without lengthy trial and error.

Four team members are now at level 130; Volcanion and Mawile are next. The route and puzzle helpers are prepared, with checks that stop if the game behaves differently than expected.

All six are reaching the cap now, then the script will heal and save them. Fern is the next major fight on the route; I’ve checked his team and will save before entering his room.

The whole team is now level 130, healed, and saved. I’m heading to Randall to accept the quest, then on to Tanzan Mountain.

The team is on its way to the Nightclub. I’ve mapped both puzzle sections, including the multi-floor boulder sequence, so the route should be straightforward once we arrive.

Randall’s quest is accepted. The dialogue helper missed the brief choice screen, so I’m verifying the quest flag from a normal save before continuing the route.

The quest flag is confirmed. We’re traveling to Tanzan Cove now; the remaining preparation is complete, including the saved team and the planned puzzle moves.

We’ve reached Tanzan Cove and are entering the cave route. One useful correction from the game’s event data: the “Mewtwo” anomaly is part of Mew’s quest sequence, so I’m checking the follow-up encounters before planning any captures.

The lake crossing is complete. We’re approaching the crystal passage into the Wasteland Wall, with the boulder moves ready to execute and verify.

We’re inside Tanzan Mountain now. The route is progressing normally; the next checkpoint is the crystal room, followed by the two short boulder rooms.

The crystal passage is open. The walking planner stopped at the cave’s ledges, so I’m checking those crossings before continuing; the save is secure at the crystal.

The blocker is a rock the crystal makes breakable. I’m temporarily replacing Swampert’s Rock Climb with Rock Smash; its combat moves stay intact, and the path beyond is already planned.

Rock Smash opened the passage, and that progress is saved. We’re now crossing the cave ledges toward Chrysolia Pass.

The ledge section is behind us. We’re crossing Chrysolia Pass into the boulder rooms; no battles or damage on this leg so far.

We’ve reached the first boulder room and activated Strength. The script is now making the planned pushes, checking each result against a fresh in-game save.

The first boulder room is cleared. Two short pushes remain in the second room before the larger three-canister puzzle.

The second room’s pushes are going as planned. We’re nearly at the main wall puzzle, and usage remains comfortably within the session limit.

Both entrance rooms are cleared, and we’ve saved at the main wall puzzle. The 23-push sequence is running now, with each boulder position checked before the next move.

The first several pushes match the plan exactly. I’m clearing access to the right-hand canister first, then the left and bottom ones.

The right-hand canister is now accessible. I’m continuing across the wall while checking the next area’s platform jumps so we can keep moving after Fern.

The right-hand canister is activated and saved. The left-hand route is progressing cleanly, with no puzzle reset needed.

The left-hand canister is next; its access path is cleared. After that, only the bottom section remains in this room.

Two canisters are now activated. The script is clearing the final route to the bottom canister; every push has matched the planned position.

The final section is nearly open. Four pushes remain before the bottom canister, then we can leave this puzzle room.

The bottom approach is still matching the plan. The next room uses boulders dropped through holes; I’ve prepared that sequence too, with a save before Fern’s battle room.

All 23 pushes are complete without a reset. I’m activating the last canister and checking that the exit opens.

All three canisters are verified, and the exit is open. We’re moving into the final multi-floor puzzle before Fern.

We’re in the multi-floor section. The first drop and ladder approach are correct; I’m moving the boulders through the holes in the planned order.

The first boulder has dropped successfully and opened the lower route. Next I’m clearing the ladder, then approaching the second boulder from above.

Strength stays active between these floors, so I removed the redundant activation steps. The puzzle is continuing from the saved first drop.

The lower ladder is clear. We’re climbing back up to drop the second boulder, which opens the route to the far side of the wall.

The second boulder drop is complete. I’m looping around to get behind the last boulder; this is the final large push before the exit ladders.

The route around the holes worked. We’re back on the correct side of the final boulder, ready to push it across and clear the last ladder.

The final boulder drop is verified. Only a short push and the exit ladders remain; then I’ll save outside Fern’s room and rotate the recording.

The wall puzzles are cleared, and we’re back outside near Fern’s room. I’m saving here and reconciling this travel recording before starting the fight.

Saved immediately outside Fern’s room, with all six fully healed at level 130. I’ve paused gameplay briefly to trim and verify the travel recording; the game will stay open for the next segment.

The Wasteland Wall puzzles are complete, and the team is fully trained to level 130. I’m finishing the recording review at the save point outside Fern, then I’ll resume the fight.

The recording has no retained capture gaps. The puzzle route and training are intact; I’m removing the last few stationary pauses before publishing it. Against Fern, Mega Mawile has a strong opening against Haxorus, with Volcanion reserved for Scizor.

Video 26 is updated and verified, and the next recording is running. Fern’s challenge is underway; the team and save are secured immediately before it.

Mawile Mega Evolved safely, and Haxorus used Dragon Dance. I’m using that opening to boost Mawile’s attack before breaking Haxorus’s Focus Sash.

Haxorus is down. Fern is bringing in Krookodile, so I’m preserving Mawile and switching to Swampert for the Ground matchup.

Swampert beat Krookodile in two Surfs and survived. Volcanion is now facing Serperior; all six team members are still alive, and no bag items have been used.

Serperior is down. Buzzwole’s boosted Leech Life is recovering too much health against Cresselia, so I’m switching to Mawile to resist it and answer with Play Rough.

Scizor is down after one Flamethrower. Fern has Buzzwole and Decidueye left; Magearna and Zapdos are still untouched.

Mawile finished Buzzwole. Only Decidueye remains, and Magearna is in at full health to handle its Z-Move.

Decidueye survived Fly with a sliver of health and knocked out Zapdos, but Static left it paralyzed. Mawile is coming back in to finish it.

Fern is beaten on the first attempt, with no bag items used. I’m saving the win and moving into the Toybox, where there’s a healing point before the anomaly battle.

The team is fully healed. I’ve also updated the route helper to handle the Toybox’s automatic jump chains. For the anomaly, I’m strengthening Volcanion’s Water attack and pairing it with Cresselia’s Trick Room.

I’m adding Protect to Volcanion before this doubles fight. That gives it a way to survive the opening while Cresselia sets Trick Room, then attack Victini first on the next turn.

The anomaly encounter has started. The archive helper paused on an OCR mismatch in the introduction; I’m correcting that record before selecting any battle moves.

Both opponents used field-boosted Dazzling Gleam and knocked out Cresselia before Trick Room. Volcanion is unharmed. I’ll try to recover with Magearna; if this attempt fails, I’ll change the opening to use Fake Out support.

The first anomaly attempt is reset and retained in the journey recording. I’m bringing back Mienshao, which already has Fake Out and Wide Guard. Those moves give us a much better answer to this opening than spending battle items.

I’m preparing Mienshao for the Mewtwo anomaly’s opening. One training round should provide enough candy to reach the level cap, then I’ll finish archiving Fern’s win before returning to the anomaly.

Mienshao already knows both support moves, so it only needs levels. The key change is getting Trick Room established safely: Cresselia survived neither of the two boosted spread attacks together, but Fake Out can remove one attacker’s first turn.

The training script caught an incorrect lead before making a move. I corrected the switch and replaced the old party-order helper with the version that checks each swap, so future training rounds won’t repeat that delay.

The training round is progressing normally. I’m also checking the return route while it runs; the Wasteland puzzles remain solved, so we only need to travel back to the Toybox.

Fawkes is beaten, with no items used. I’m collecting the candy and swapping Mienshao into Swampert’s slot; Zapdos stays with us for Fly.

The reward brought us to 24 XL candies, enough for the planned training. Once Mienshao is ready, I’ll use this safe Grand Hall pause to reconcile the recording and add Fern to the major-fights collection.

Mienshao needs 18 candies to reach level 130, leaving six in reserve. The next attempt will open with Mienshao and Cresselia, using Fake Out to give Trick Room a safer first turn.

Mienshao has reached level 130. I’m healing and saving the revised team now, then pausing capture for the video edit before the next attempt.

The revised team is healed and saved. Capture is paused while I check the edit boundaries and Fern’s roster panel; both the failed anomaly attempt and the training round will remain in video 26.

The edit review found only stationary waits to remove; battle actions, fainting, dialogue, and the reset are retained. I’m rendering the checked cut and verifying it before updating the finished videos.

The updated journey video is ready, and Fern’s winning clip has rendered with its original team, one attempt, and no bag items. I’m checking the finished panel and compilation before restarting capture.

Fern is now in the verified major-fights compilation, and the earlier video content is unchanged. I’m restarting capture and heading back; Mienshao also carries Strength if any movable rocks need clearing again.

The archive and save handoff are pushed. I’m on the return trip now. The permanent switches are solved, but ordinary rocks may respawn when changing maps, so the route script will check each room as we enter.

We’re back in Tanzan Cove and moving toward the crystal passage. The prepared opening is queued as a guarded two-move sequence, so the next fight can proceed without a long pause between those selections.

The route caught a travel-team oversight: removing Swampert also removed Surf. I’m correcting that by keeping Swampert for this trip and placing Mawile in reserve. Mienshao, Cresselia, Volcanion, and Magearna retain the planned battle core.

The travel team is fixed and saved, with Surf, Rock Smash, Strength, and Fly covered. I’ve put the return route into one checked script so it can handle the known room transitions continuously.

Surf is working, and the route script is moving through the lake. The next saved checkpoint will confirm the crystal passage’s current state before continuing through the wall.

The crystal passage is open again, and the script has saved that checkpoint. It’s now traversing the remaining caves toward the solved wall.

The cave rocks did reset, and Mienshao has activated Strength to clear the short entrance route. The canister switches remain solved, so there’s no need to repeat the main wall puzzle.

We’ve reached the wall with the team healthy. The remaining route is the ladder section and the Toybox jumps; the script will stop at a saved boss-entry checkpoint before starting the fight.

The wall gate is still open, and we’re through it. Only two reset boulders in the ladder section need moving before the Toybox; the larger puzzle is already bypassed.

We’re back at the Toybox entrance. I’ll save at the anomaly again, then run Fake Out and Trick Room together and respond to the resulting battle state.

We’re at the anomaly with a fresh save and all six Pokémon healthy. Attempt two is starting now with Mienshao and Cresselia.

Fake Out worked, and Cresselia got Trick Room up. Mienshao fainted as expected; I’m bringing in Volcanion to remove Victini and switching Cresselia out so Magearna can take over.

I’m continuing the Mewtwo fight. Victini is down and Trick Room is active; Sylveon has entered alongside Tapu Lele.

Sylveon struck first under Trick Room, but Magearna knocked it out with Flash Cannon. Both of our active Pokémon are low on health, so the next replacement will determine whether to heal or keep attacking.

Tapu Lele’s follow-up knocked out both attackers. I’ll reset to the saved entry and repeat the successful opening, then heal Magearna before Sylveon attacks so it can survive and use its Special Attack boosts.

The third attempt is underway. The opening is now scripted with checks for each active Pokémon; the planned change is a Full Restore for Magearna on turn three.

Trick Room is up again, and Cresselia survived the opening. Volcanion is coming in for Victini; Magearna will then take Cresselia’s place.

Victini is down again. I’m preserving Magearna’s Soul-Heart boosts for the remaining team; the key is getting it safely through Sylveon’s spread attack.

The Full Restore worked: Magearna took Sylveon’s attack with health to spare, then knocked it out. I’m watching Tapu Lele’s follow-up before choosing the next pair of actions.

Magearna survived, and Mewtwo has now entered. Swampert will heal Magearna while it uses Dazzling Gleam to hit both opponents under Trick Room.

Dazzling Gleam knocked out Mewtwo and Tapu Lele together. Only Hoopa and Latios remain, and we still have one turn of Trick Room—Magearna is in a strong position to finish.

Anomaly Mewtwo is defeated on attempt three, using two Full Restores. It was a transformed Mew; I’m recording the victory boundary and continuing the chase through Toybox.

The victory is saved. The game’s short ending skipped past the usual victory text in the live OCR, so I’m checking the recorded frames to anchor the fight’s ending accurately before archiving it.

I recovered the full victory frame from the recording and verified the ending. The chase route hit a Toybox jump that the pathfinder couldn’t finish; I’m correcting that route before continuing.

The route fix gives each chain of bouncing platforms time to finish before sending the next direction. The chase is running with a save and quest-state check after each disguise.

The first disguise is found, and the corrected platform route is working. I’m following Mew’s remaining hiding places, then heading out with Fern.

Mew’s first hiding place is cleared and saved. I’m also reviewing the next quest’s opponents now so we can make any team changes at the Nightclub before starting another major fight.

The second disguise is cleared, and the third chase scene is playing. The next major opponent is Kiki; I’m planning around her Ground attackers, Suicune’s setup, and Marshadow’s ability to steal stat boosts.

All three disguises are found. Mew has opened a portal out of Toybox; I’m finishing that scene and following it into the forest.

Mew is through the forest, with Fern still chasing it. Once this quest returns us to the Nightclub, I’ll reconcile the recording, heal the team, and prepare for Kiki.

The chase has reached Rhodochrine. I’ll free Fern as soon as the scene allows, then use his return trip to avoid retracing the whole route.

Fern is caught in the cage now. I’m opening it immediately; the Mewtwo victory and its exact two-item total are already verified against the saved inventory and completed battle log.

Fern is free, and the return scene started immediately when the switch opened his cage. I’m taking the offered trip back to the Nightclub.

We’re back at the Nightclub, and the quest is saved as complete. I’m pausing gameplay to edit session 311 and add Anomaly Mewtwo to the major-fights collection, then I’ll resume with team preparation.

The edit is ready for visual checks. I’m reviewing the trimmed pauses and joins, including the reset and the recovered victory frame, before appending it to video 26.

The review caught four proposed cuts that overlapped platform movement or a scene transition. I’ve restored those moments and am rebuilding the edit so the journey keeps the action intact.

The rebuilt recording is ready for its final checks. The game is saved at the Nightclub after the Mewtwo quest; once this edit is secured, I’ll resume with Kiki’s quest and prepare the team for it.

The battle footage checks out. Two more suggested trims overlap Fern leaving a scene, so I’m keeping those; the remaining trims remove only stationary waits.

Video 26 now includes the Mewtwo battle and the completed chase. I’m checking the major-fight export’s roster and boundaries; it records three attempts and two Full Restores for the winning attempt.

Recording has resumed. I’m accepting Kiki’s quest, then healing and bringing Mawile back into the party. Calm Mind Cresselia looks promising on her Ashen Beach field, with Volcanion available to clear opposing boosts.

Both video archives are verified, and the consumed source footage has been cleaned up. The game is en route to the Grand Hall for healing and the team changes.

The party is healed. I’m swapping Mienshao for Mawile and teaching Cresselia Calm Mind, then heading to Apophyll. That gives us a setup option and a separate answer to Marshadow, which can steal stat boosts.

Mawile is back in the party, and Cresselia has learned Calm Mind. I’m putting Cresselia in front and saving the prepared team before travel. The Mewtwo handoff has also been pushed to the private repository.

We’ve reached Apophyll’s courtyard scene. There are three preliminary trainers before Kiki; I’ll use short, guarded battle scripts for their reviewed teams and save before the boss.

The first preliminary battle is starting. Volcanion has a simple matchup here: Steam Eruption for Darmanitan, then Flamethrower for Cacturne. The script will stop if the opponent or HP state falls outside that plan.

Darmanitan is down. Cacturne’s evasion caused Flamethrower to miss, and the HP guard stopped with Volcanion still alive. I’m switching to Mawile to finish safely.

Mawile switched in without taking damage and has reduced Cacturne to its Focus Sash. After this fight, Cresselia’s bulk and Ground immunity should suit the next trainer better than Volcanion.

Makami is defeated without using any bag items. I’m advancing the follow-up scene, then using Calm Mind Cresselia for Cocoa’s mostly physical team. We’ll heal again before Kiki.

Cocoa’s opening Golem can boost its Attack sharply on this field, so I’m changing the opening: break Sturdy with Psychic, then use Swampert’s Surf to finish it. Cresselia can set up against a safer opponent afterward.

The second trainer is ready, and there’s a fresh save before the fight. Cresselia, Swampert, Magearna, and Zapdos are still at full health; Mawile and Volcanion are being held back until the next healing trip.

Golem boosted, but the switch worked: Swampert resisted Stone Edge and can now use Surf after Sturdy was broken. Cresselia remains untouched for the rest of Cocoa’s team.

Golem is down, and Cocoa sent out Hitmonchan next—a safer chance to set up. Cresselia is using Calm Mind now, then should be able to finish with Psychic and heal with Moonlight as needed.

Cresselia reached maximum Special Attack and Special Defense, then knocked out Hitmonchan. The guarded sweep is now handling Stoutland and Dugtrio, using Moonlight if Cresselia drops below the recovery threshold.

Cresselia cleared Hitmonchan and Stoutland, but Dugtrio knocked it out before Moonlight could resolve. I’m bringing in Mawile to finish with priority Sucker Punch, then taking the full party to heal.

Cocoa is defeated, also without bag items. Mawile’s Sucker Punch finished Dugtrio immediately. I’m healing the entire team before Candy and Kiki, including restoring Cresselia’s PP.

Everyone is fully healed again, with PP restored. I’m returning for Candy with Mawile leading against Lycanroc. Usage is at 71% used, so there’s plenty of room to continue before the cleanup boundary.

Mawile beat Lycanroc without taking damage. Blaziken is next, so Cresselia is switching in. I’ve also checked Kiki’s installed stats: Kingdra’s guaranteed-critical setup is a key threat, so I’ll preserve healthy answers for it.

Blaziken is hitting hard with Flare Blitz, so Cresselia has used Moonlight while its recoil wears it down. I’m checking the next turn before committing further; the rest of the team is still healthy.

A critical Flare Blitz left Cresselia too low to act safely. I’m using one Full Restore to preserve its boosts and finish the fight; Blaziken is nearly out of HP from recoil.

Lilligant is down, and Alakazam is nearly finished. Cresselia kept its boosts through both, with no additional items needed. Afterward I’ll heal, save, and use the pause before Kiki to finalize this recording.

All three preliminary fights are cleared. I’m preparing Amoonguss for Kiki and the Marshadow encounter, then I’ll finalize this recording during the preparation pause before continuing.

Amoonguss is in the team. Zapdos can handle the training fight quickly; the candy reward will bring Amoonguss to level 130 and give us a useful sleep option for the next boss and capture.

Zapdos has knocked out both Squirtle and Mega Blastoise without taking damage. The remaining two are the same favorable matchup, so I’m letting the guarded battle script finish it.

Training is complete with no damage or items used. I’m spending 16 XL candies to finish Amoonguss’s levels, healing the team, and saving before the recording review.

The whole team is now level 130 and healed. I’m checking the session’s cuts and music before appending it to video 26; the game will stay open at the saved preparation point during this pause.

The cuts preserve all four trainer victories and the team preparation. I’m finishing the remaining idle-time checks and audio verification, then heading back to Kiki.

Video 26 is updated and verified. The new recording is running, and I’m returning to Apophyll with Cresselia leading and the full team ready for Kiki.

I’m at Apophyll. The opening plan is to use Cresselia’s field-boosted Calm Mind, preserve Mega Mawile for Marshadow, and keep Amoonguss available if Kingdra needs to be put to sleep.

Kiki’s first attempt is starting from a fresh save. Her opening Palossand gives Cresselia a chance to set up; I’ll check each incoming matchup rather than let a sweep script commit through the dangerous ones.

Palossand is down. Cresselia has maximum special boosts and 492 HP, and Kiki sent Suicune next—a much better matchup for keeping those boosts in play.

Suicune fell to a critical Psychic before it could settle into a Rest cycle. Garchomp is next; Cresselia still has its boosts and enough health to attack with Moonblast.

Garchomp is down, and Marshadow has arrived. Mawile entered on the free switch and lowered its Attack; I’m Mega Evolving and using Play Rough.

Marshadow is down, and Mawile is still healthy. Kingdra’s guaranteed critical hits are the main threat now, so I’m using Zapdos to paralyze it and let Mawile attack first.

Kingdra is down. It was still faster after paralysis, but lost its turn to full paralysis and Mawile landed Play Rough. Only Gallade remains; Mawile has 319 HP.

Kiki is beaten on the first attempt with no bag items used. Cresselia and Mega Mawile did the attacking, with Zapdos helping stop Kingdra. I’m saving the win and following the Marshadow encounter.

The win is saved and its zero-item count is verified. Marshadow is hiding in the back room; Amoonguss is still at full health with all its Spore PP, so I’m bringing it in for the capture.

Marshadow is asleep, and the first Giga Drain left it safely above half health. I’m weakening it in single steps so a critical hit won’t accidentally knock it out.

Marshadow was caught with the first Timer Ball. That gives us Spectral Thief and a strong physical attacker for future fights. I’m finishing Victoria’s scene, then healing and moving on to the next Nightclub quest.

Marshadow is safely caught and Victoria’s scene is complete. I’m checking the current save and recording, then I’ll heal the team and continue toward the next postgame quest.

Kiki’s first-attempt win used no bag items, and Marshadow is now available for future team building. The next quest leads to Blacksteam Shelter; I’ll also finish Kiki’s major-fight video at the next natural pause.

The team is fully healed. Blacksteam’s quest has several partnered anomaly battles, so I’m checking the encounters ahead of time and keeping a save before each fight where the game permits it.

The Blacksteam quest is accepted and saved. I’m pausing gameplay briefly to trim the completed recording and add Kiki to the major-fight collection, then I’ll resume from the Nightclub.

The cut and transition review is complete. I caught and corrected a music cue that would have played the courtyard theme over Kiki’s silent aftermath; the final render now preserves that pause.

Video 26 has been updated and verified. Kiki’s separate roster-panel clip is rendering; I’m restarting capture now so we can head to Blacksteam while that finishes.

We’re on the way to Blacksteam Shelter. The first anomaly team is mostly Steel types, making Volcanion’s Flamethrower useful; I’ll watch for Probopass and the Electric attacks on that field rather than trying to sweep blindly.

Kiki is now published as postgame major fight 43, and the recording sources were cleaned up after both exports passed verification. We’ve reached Blacksteam and are progressing through the rehearsal scene.

The rehearsal sequence is still underway. I’ve prepared a bounded battle script for Volcanion that handles the favorable Steel matchups and stops for the dangerous Electric opponents or low HP, so routine turns won’t need repeated manual planning.

The four stationary band members are done. Cain is wandering around the room, so I’m refreshing his position before the final conversation; that should trigger the next story scene.

Cain’s conversation is complete and the rehearsal has advanced into Aya’s family scene. The team is ready; once this scene finishes, I’ll follow Aya to the anomaly entrance and save before triggering the fight.

Aya has returned inside, and the shelter is starting to change around us. I’m following the story to the basement portal; the next save will be just before the first partnered Genesect battle.

We’re at the basement portal with Volcanion leading and the whole team healthy. I’m saving at the battle trigger, then opening with Fire attacks alongside Aya.

The intro paused on an ellipsis that OCR couldn’t read. I’ve identified the visible prompt and am adjusting the dialogue helper so it can advance safely into the fight.

Dhelmise is down. Klefki has both screens up, but Volcanion is still at full health; Aya has brought in Naganadel, giving us a second Fire attacker to push through them.

Klefki, Bisharp, and Mega Steelix are down. The special-attacking Genesect has appeared, so Volcanion will Protect this turn while Naganadel attacks with Heat Wave.

I’m checking the live battle and recording, then continuing from the Genesect fight. The previous recording segment is already finalized.

The first Genesect pair is beaten on the first attempt, with no bag items used. Volcanion and Aya’s Naganadel handled it well; I’m saving before the facility’s next section.

The game healed the team after the win. Arclight’s upcoming pair is heavily Electric-focused, so I’m checking its matchups before choosing our lead.

Aya is holding the central room while we open the shutters. I’ll lead with Amoonguss for Electric resistance and Spore support, with Volcanion ready for the Genesects.

The next entrance is saved and the recording is healthy. This fight has ten opposing Pokémon, so the opening aim is to disable one attacker with Spore while Arclight deals damage.

Amoonguss resisted Klinklang’s field-boosted Gear Grind and put Ampharos to sleep. Arclight has already brought Klinklang below half HP.

Klinklang is down. Manectric is weakened, and Arclight has brought in Raichu after losing Jolteon. Amoonguss is preserved through Regenerator, while Volcanion is attacking Ampharos.

Manectric is down, but Ampharos’s Zap Cannon knocked out Volcanion. Amoonguss is back at full health and is targeting the incoming Alolan Golem with Giga Drain.

Golem and Ampharos are down. Amoonguss survived the Earthquake/Heat Wave turn and put Zapdos to sleep, creating an opening for Magearna.

Magearna entered safely into Raikou’s locked Extrasensory. I’m using a bounded three-turn attack script here; it will stop if Genesect appears or Magearna’s health gets low.

Magearna’s Soul-Heart boosts have turned the fight: Zapdos, Raikou, Eelektross, and the first Genesect are down. Only Vikavolt and the other Genesect remain.

Arclight’s pair is beaten on the first attempt, again with no bag items used. Magearna finished the last five opponents; we’re collecting the Shock Drive and saving before the next puzzle section.

The Shock Drive powers different doors in the facility. I’ve queued the verified panel sequence through normal controls, with saves after each state change, to reach Cain’s section efficiently.

The west panel is open, and the Shock Drive has been recovered. The route script is now opening the southwest path and changing the central shutter mode.

Cain’s route is open. Volcanion leads this time: the next pair is Ice-focused, and Cain’s opening Marowak has Lightning Rod to cover Electric attacks.

Sandslash fell immediately. Froslass is in now, so I’m preserving Volcanion and bringing Magearna in to handle the spread attacks and build Soul-Heart boosts.

Ninetales and Froslass are down, and Magearna has three Soul-Heart boosts. Aegislash can use Wide Guard, so I’m switching to single-target attacks while it is on the field.

Aegislash knocked out Magearna before it could attack. Volcanion is still nearly full health and is back in to threaten Aegislash directly; Cain has brought in Alolan Muk.

Aurorus’s Discharge changed the field to Factory. Volcanion remains healthy enough to continue, but Cain has lost Muk and Mimikyu; Aegislash is the priority now.

Aurorus is down and Aurora Veil has expired. Protect bought Primarina a free Hyper Voice; I’m rotating Amoonguss in to cover Porygon-Z’s Electric attack and keep Volcanion available for the remaining Ice and Steel Pokémon.

The new Genesect and Rotom took out Amoonguss and Primarina in one turn. Cresselia is in with Cain’s last Pokémon, Nidoking; I’m building its special defense before committing the remaining attackers.

Cain’s team is out, and Cresselia fell while I used one Full Restore on Volcanion. Volcanion is now back at full health for a direct Flamethrower on Genesect.

Rotom’s Factory-boosted Thunder knocked out even full-health Volcanion. This attempt is in trouble. If it ends in a loss, I’ll rebuild around Electric immunity and speed control before retrying, rather than spend more healing items.

Zapdos paralyzed Regice before going down. Mawile is the last Pokémon; I’m trying Mega Evolution and Swords Dance for a priority-attack finish.

That attempt ended in a loss. The footage and attempt count are preserved. I’m reloading the save before Cain, then preparing an Electric-immune replacement before another attempt.

We already own two useful replacements: Zeraora has Volt Absorb, and Prankster Meowstic can set Misty Terrain and Light Screen. I’m bringing them up to the current cap so the retry can neutralize the field bonuses and Electric attacks.

We’re saved at the Grand Hall. I’m reconciling this recording segment now: both Genesect victories will enter the major-fight collection, and the full journey will retain the failed Cain attempt. The game will stay open during editing.

The game is saved at the Grand Hall after the two Genesect victories. I’m finishing the recording review, then I’ll strengthen the team before retrying Cain.

The reviewed cuts preserve both wins and the complete Cain loss, while removing the long decision pauses. For the retry, I’m preparing Meowstic to change the field and Zeraora to absorb Electric attacks—the two main problems in the first attempt.

Video 26 is updated and verified, including the failed attempt. The two winning-fight clips are finishing their separate archive checks; I can resume team preparation while those checks run.

Meowstic already has the defensive training and terrain-extending item we need. Zeraora is fast enough, but has almost no EV training, so I’m checking the quickest way to improve its damage while earning the level-up candies.

The Power Bracer gives 32 Attack EVs per knockout in this version, so two short training battles should max Zeraora’s Attack. I’ve started those; the same battles also provide the candies for both new team members.

Zeraora is clearing the training team without taking damage. Both new major-fight clips are now published and fully verified. I’m also preparing Fire Punch coverage for Genesect so the retry won’t depend solely on Volcanion.

Attack training is complete, and Speed training is nearly done. I also found a useful mechanic: giving Zeraora an Everstone prevents Plasma Fists from replacing Misty Terrain, so it can attack without undoing Meowstic’s protection.

Both reserves are now level 130. Zeraora’s Attack is 418 and Speed is 541 after training. I’m collecting the three missing tutor shards, then we’ll return with Fire Punch and the revised field-control team.

The required shards are collected. Fire Punch will give Zeraora a fast, four-times-effective attack against Genesect, while Misty Terrain also weakens the Shadow Balls that knocked out our partners in the first attempt.

Fire Punch is learned and the full team is healed. We’re heading back to Cain with Meowstic leading, Zeraora fully trained, and the first attempt safely preserved in the journey video.

The team preparation is complete, and Cain’s introduction has started. I’m checking the recording’s team snapshot before advancing into the rematch.

Meowstic successfully replaced the factory field with Misty Terrain. Cain’s Marowak is still standing; I’m adding Light Screen before bringing in our attackers.

Meowstic got both support moves up before fainting. Magearna is now setting Trick Room, which should let our slower attackers move first against the remaining ice team.

Trick Room is working: Articuno, Sandslash, and Aurorus are down, and Magearna has gained several Special Attack boosts. The rematch is moving much faster than the first attempt.

Rotom is down too. A critical hit left Magearna badly hurt and paralyzed, so I’m using one Full Restore to preserve its accumulated boosts.

Trick Room has ended, so Volcanion is taking over while Magearna retreats alive. Cain’s Muk also removed Porygon-Z’s Life Orb, reducing the pressure on our remaining team.

Porygon-Z is out. I’m bringing in the newly trained Zeraora now: its Electric immunity is useful on this field, and Close Combat gives us a physical answer to Regice.

Zeraora has knocked out Regice and Aegislash on consecutive turns. The training and Fire Punch pickup are paying off, and we still have several teammates in reserve.

One Genesect is down, and Zeraora is still healthy. Cain’s Diancie can use Discharge beside it safely—Volt Absorb turns the friendly fire into healing.

Zeraora was picked off by Ice Shard, but Diancie finished Froslass. Only the weakened Genesect and Weavile remain; Mega Mawile is coming in to finish.

Cain’s battle is won on the second attempt, using one Full Restore. I’m saving this progress and finishing the recording edit before tackling the next factory section.

The save is verified. During video review I caught an over-aggressive idle cut that would have hidden the turn after the Full Restore; I’m restoring that action before publishing Cain’s chapter.

The corrected edit keeps the full battle action and removes the remaining menu pauses. Cain’s chapter will show the actual entry team, two attempts, and exactly one Full Restore.

Cain’s victory edit is ready. Next is Titania’s fire-themed section; I’m checking the route and bringing Swampert back into consideration so we have better type coverage.

Both video archives are now verified and updated, and the handoff is backed up. Swampert is already level 130 with HP and Attack training, so this adjustment only needs a party swap and better battle moves.

Swampert is back in the party. I also corrected the item-selection helper to recognize Reborn’s “TMX” names for HM moves, which will avoid repeated menu scans during future preparation.

Swampert is trained and ready, and we’re back at the factory with the game saved. I’m opening the next section toward Titania’s fight; the recording is running.

The next opponent uses two Fire teams, while Titania brings Steel Pokémon. Swampert gives us a sturdier opening against their physical attackers, with Volcanion and Zeraora available for later switches. I’m saving before the fight so a loss won’t mean repeating the factory puzzle.

Aya’s cooling scene is complete, and the first shutter is unlocked. The route script is handling the remaining switches and corridors, with checks at each stop so it can halt on an unexpected scene.

The factory is configured for Titania’s section now. We’re on the final corridor to the fight, with Swampert leading and all six Pokémon at full health.

Titania’s Klefki put up Reflect on the opening turn. Swampert is attacking Darmanitan, and the opposing Infernape has already used U-turn to bring in Moltres.

Darmanitan is down, and Moltres is nearly finished. Klefki managed to set both defensive screens before fainting; Swampert still has about 70% health as Titania sends out Excadrill.

Moltres and Victini both went down on the last turn. Swampert and Excadrill are now facing Incineroar and Alolan Marowak; I’m focusing Waterfall on Marowak while Excadrill attacks both with Rock Slide.

Swampert has taken out Marowak and Incineroar too. Rotom’s critical Overheat knocked out Titania’s Mega Scizor, so her side is thinning, but all six of our Pokémon are still available.

Ninetales is down. Zeraora’s Volt Absorb is also healing it from the field’s stray electricity, and Rotom has weakened its own special attacks with repeated Overheats. We haven’t used any bag items.

Zeraora knocked out Infernape and the first Genesect. The opening with Swampert has worked well: our full team is still available, and we’re through most of the opposing roster.

Only Entei and the final Genesect remain. Entei caught Zeraora with a critical Bulldoze, so I’m bringing in Volcanion to finish; we still have five Pokémon available and haven’t needed items.

Titania’s fight is won on the first attempt, with zero bag items used. Swampert handled the opening, Zeraora cleared most of the middle, and Volcanion finished Entei and Genesect. I’m saving the victory and continuing toward Hardy.

The saved game confirms a full heal after Titania, and the item audit confirms zero consumables used. Hardy’s opponents are mostly Water types, so Zeraora will lead the next fight. I’m using the Burn Drive to open the remaining factory routes.

Aya has cleared the next obstruction. The remaining route is a sequence of shutter controls; the script will stop just before Hardy’s battle trigger so I can verify the team and save the entry state.

Two more shutters are open. I also checked the eventual Genesect encounter: we can safely weaken it with False Swipe and paralyze it for capture. I’ll catch it after the final partnered fight so it remains available for future teams.

The final shutter route is open. I’m restoring power to the combustion terminal now, then heading straight to Hardy’s entrance. The recording is healthy and there’s plenty of disk space for this segment.

We’re saved at Hardy’s entrance with the whole team healed. Zeraora is fast enough to attack Greninja before its Mat Block, so I’m using that opening to protect Hardy’s Rock team from the first wave of Water attacks.

The opening worked: Zeraora removed Greninja before it could act, and Mega Aerodactyl took out Politoed. Seismitoad is the main threat now because it’s immune to Electric attacks, so I’m preserving Zeraora and bringing in Meowstic for Light Screen.

Light Screen is up, but the opposing spread attack and Z-Move took out Meowstic and Hardy’s Lycanroc. Rotom is nearly finished. I’m bringing in Magearna to attack both opponents and build Special Attack through Soul-Heart as Pokémon faint.

Magearna and Nihilego cleared Seismitoad and Rotom together. Magearna is still at full health with two Soul-Heart boosts, putting us in a much better position against Suicune and Empoleon.

Suicune and Empoleon are down. Magearna now has five Soul-Heart boosts and is landing strong hits on both opponents; I’m keeping that momentum against Blastoise and Escavalier.

Blastoise and Escavalier both fell to Dazzling Gleam. Magearna has reached maximum Special Attack but is low on health, so I’m using one Full Restore to preserve that advantage. Gigalith has also replaced the rain with sand.

Magearna’s heal absorbed a heavy Techno Blast, so I’ve moved to Volcanion’s Water immunity. Hardy is down to Archeops; I’m using our immunities and Zeraora’s speed to handle the remaining Genesect rather than spending more healing items.

Hardy’s team has fainted, so this is now our five remaining Pokémon against their last four. Zeraora absorbed Lanturn’s Thunder on the switch; I’m focusing Fire Punch on Genesect first.

Fire Punch left Genesect badly hurt and burned, but Zeraora fell to the combined attacks. Zapdos is finishing that weakened Genesect; Swampert is still healthy for Lanturn, whose Volt Absorb blocks our Electric moves.

The second Genesect took out Zapdos, but Discharge weakened it and paralyzed Forretress. I’m using one Revive on Zeraora so its speed and Fire Punch can finish these Bug/Steel opponents; Swampert is reserved for Lanturn.

Genesect survived Fire Punch with a sliver of health. Swampert can finish it with Earthquake while also damaging Forretress. After that, Volcanion’s Fire attack and Water immunity give us a good way through the last pair.

The second Genesect is down. Forretress caught Swampert with Giga Drain, leaving Volcanion to remove it. Lanturn will then be the only opponent left; I’ll restore Swampert for that matchup if needed.

Forretress is down, leaving only Lanturn. Volcanion survived long enough for me to revive and fully heal Swampert. That brings this attempt to two Full Restores and two Revives; Swampert should now finish with Earthquake.

Hardy’s fight is won on the first attempt. It took two Full Restores and two Revives; Swampert finished Lanturn with Earthquake. I’m saving, then reconciling this recording and both major-fight entries before continuing to the Genesect capture.

Both victories are recorded, and the Douse Drive is ours. I’m at the editing pause now: checking cuts, battle boundaries, team panels, and exact item totals before appending this segment to video 26 and the postgame major-fights collection.

The raw cut checks look good: the removed sections are coordinate popups or waiting at menus, with battle actions preserved. I’m checking the joins and major-fight opening and ending frames next.

Both Genesect victories are preserved, and the cut transitions check out. I’m trimming the remaining menu waits before adding the fights to the archive; then I’ll return to catching Genesect.

The archive is rebuilding with another 46 seconds of menu waits removed from the finished video. Genesect’s capture encounter is next; I’ll prepare False Swipe and paralysis first so we can keep it available for future teams.

Video 26 now includes the factory run and both wins, with its earlier footage verified unchanged. I’m finishing the separate fight panels and chapter checks before restarting capture.

The Titania clip has passed its panel and opening/ending checks. The compilation’s full decode is running now. Both fights were first-attempt wins: Titania used no bag items; Hardy used two Full Restores and two Revives.

The remaining archive work is a full-file integrity check, so gameplay is paused briefly. The capture route and preparation script are ready to run as soon as those checks finish.

Hardy’s clip also passed. The final compilation check is running, followed by source cleanup and the save handoff. The game is safely parked at the completed fight with the whole party healed.

The next capture is planned: Zapdos will paralyze Genesect, then Zeraora will weaken it safely with False Swipe. Afterward I’ll finish the factory’s exit scenes and move on to Zero’s quest.

The recordings are finalized and the handoff is pushed. Capture 317 is running with verified game-only framing; I’m back in the factory preparing Genesect’s capture.

Zeraora has learned False Swipe. I’m switching Zapdos to the lead and setting the factory’s drives to open the path to Genesect.

The Shock Drive is removed and saved. The route script is working through the remaining drive changes, checking each result before moving to the next terminal.

We’re at Genesect with a fresh save immediately before the encounter. It’s level 120, and the planned capture team is in place.

Genesect is paralyzed. Its boosted Hyper Beam hits hard, so I’m using its recharge turns to weaken it safely and keeping an eye on Zeraora’s health.

Genesect used Simple Beam on Zeraora, which also makes defensive boosts stronger. I’m using that to stabilize the capture, then finishing the safe weakening rather than risking a knockout with a stronger attack.

Zeraora is stable now, and False Swipe is doing enough damage to finish weakening Genesect quickly. I’ve added a short script that checks the visible HP before each swipe and stops if the situation needs review.

Genesect is down to 1 HP and paralyzed. The capture script stopped because OCR misread Zeraora’s HP display; I’m tightening that screen check before letting it handle the Timer Ball throws.

The HP check is fixed, and the script is throwing Timer Balls with health checks between turns. Genesect remains at 1 HP and paralyzed; it has broken out of the first few balls.

The capture is still controlled: Genesect stays at 1 HP, and Zeraora is healthy after a potion. I’m continuing the bounded throws while checking the route for the next quest.

Genesect is being stubborn—eight Timer Balls so far—but the team is holding safely. I’m continuing without resetting; its health and paralysis are unchanged.

Twelve Timer Balls have failed, but Genesect is still safely weakened. For later legendary catches I’ll bring our trained Spore user alongside a False Swipe user; sleep should make those captures more efficient.

A critical Bug Buzz knocked out Zeraora despite its boosts. Genesect is unharmed; I’m moving to Magearna, which resists Bug Buzz, to finish the capture.

Magearna is handling Genesect’s attacks comfortably. I’m using the last Timer Balls, then the Ultra Balls if needed. We still have the pre-capture save if the encounter runs out of usable moves.

Caught Genesect! I’m storing it, saving the capture, and finishing the factory’s aftermath scenes.

Genesect is saved in Box 3. I’m collecting the drives and wrapping up the story scene, then I’ll heal, replenish balls, and adjust the team for the next area.

The factory exit scene is underway. For the next fights I’m bringing Mega Mawile back from the trained bench and adding Amoonguss for recovery, Grass coverage, and sleep support.

Aya’s aftermath scene is nearly finished. The next area weakens Earthquake heavily, so I’m replacing Swampert for this stretch rather than carrying it into a poor matchup. Its trained build will stay available in the PC.

The factory quest is complete. This save’s route skips the optional Lin scene, so I’m heading straight back to town for the team changes.

We’re back at the Grand Hall. I’m preparing Mega Mawile to handle Eve’s fast Psychic attackers, with Magearna and Volcanion covering the rest of her team. The replacements are already level 130 and trained.

Mega Mawile and Amoonguss are now in the party. I’m restocking the depleted capture supplies, then heading to Eve’s quest with this stronger matchup-specific team.

The team is healed and the medicine restock is almost done. I’m also checking better held items for the empty slots; those lasting upgrades will help more than relying on extra healing during fights.

I’m continuing from the saved team preparation. I’ll finish the supplies and held items, then tackle Eve and the next anomaly quest.

The useful held-item shop is still locked behind department-store stickers, so I’m moving on with the trained team. Mawile gives us strong priority against Eve’s Psychic types; Volcanion covers her Metagross.

Genesect is safely caught and saved. The team is now heading to Eve’s garden quest, with Mawile and Amoonguss replacing two less useful members for this area.

Zero has sent us to check on Eve’s new PULSE experiment. I’m saving before the encounter so a loss won’t require repeating the travel or quest dialogue.

Mawile is leading, and we’re entering the Idyll of Pestilence. I’ve also prepared the archive metadata for Eve and the Shaymin anomaly, so both wins will go into the major-fights collection.

The garden entrance needs an approach from the adjoining ward. I’m correcting that route; the game and recording are both still running normally.

We’ve reached the correct entrance through Seacrest’s house. I’m taking the direct path to Eve and keeping the puzzle exploration for after her battle.

The prebattle save is complete. Eve’s encounter is starting now; I’m opening with Mega Mawile and adapting from the battle’s visible moves and damage.

The dialogue helper missed the choice box and accepted the default, so this branch has us fighting Lumi instead of Eve. I’m correcting the encounter records and continuing; Mawile and Volcanion are also well suited to her Ice-heavy team.

Mega Mawile knocked out Ninetales through Aurora Veil in one hit. Lapras is next; I’m using the veil turns to build Mawile’s attack instead of spending healing items immediately.

Lapras survived the boosted hit behind Aurora Veil. I’m preserving Mawile and bringing in Water Absorb Volcanion to stop Waterfall, then remove Lapras’s Dragon Dance boost.

Volcanion absorbed Waterfall cleanly and erased Lapras’s boosts. Mawile is preserved for Lumi’s remaining dragons, and we still haven’t used a bag item in this fight.

Aurora Veil has expired. Lapras has kept trying Dragon Dance into Volcanion, giving us safe turns to wear it down without taking damage.

Lapras is down. Magearna is taking over against Goodra: its Steel/Fairy typing blocks two of Goodra’s attacks, giving us a chance to set up for the remaining team.

Magearna has three Calm Minds up and plenty of health. That should let it break Goodra’s special bulk and carry the rest of the fight with Soul-Heart boosts.

Goodra and Aurorus are both down. Magearna’s setup is paying off: Aurorus fell in one hit, and Lumi has only Glaceon and Latias left.

Lumi is beaten on the first attempt, with no bag items used and no Pokémon fainted. I’ll save the aftermath and reconcile this recording before continuing the Shaymin search.

The game is saved after Lumi. I’m checking the edited footage and matching the battle’s item count against the saved inventories and completed log; the next task is finding the five Shaymin around the map.

The footage checks so far show clean cuts around the navigation overlays and battle pauses. The save inventories and completed battle log also confirm Lumi’s win used zero bag items.

I’m finishing the recording checks from Lumi’s win, then I’ll resume the Shaymin quest from the saved checkpoint.

Lumi’s footage passed the full decode and visual checks. I’m adding it to Video 26 and the major fights collection; next I’ll collect the five Shaymin and prepare for their anomaly battle.

The first Shaymin is back at the center. I’m working through the northeast jumping-stone route now. Eve will heal the team before the anomaly fight, so we can save our healing items.

The northeast orb is activated, and the springboard route worked correctly. The automation also renewed Repel and resumed the route when it expired.

Two Shaymin are collected, and I’ve reached the northwest section. Lumi’s major-fight chapter is now published and verified, and the temporary Session 317 footage has been cleaned up.

Three Shaymin are collected. I’m heading through the southeast hedge maze, and I’ve built a planner for the southwest mushroom switches to avoid repeated trial-and-error routes.

The southeast orb is activated. The mushroom planner found a route through the final puzzle, including the orb needed to open its last section. I’ll verify each switch change as I follow it.

Four Shaymin are collected; the last is in the mushroom section. I also checked the installed encounter rules: the anomaly battle uses Corrosive Field, so I’ll account for its boosted sleep accuracy and Telluric Seed protection.

The first three mushroom switches matched the planned route exactly. I also widened the Repel-menu OCR crop after it missed the “Max Repel” label against the busy scenery.

The route has reached the southwest orb, with all six mushroom changes verified so far. Once the final Shaymin is collected, I’ll return to Eve, heal, and save before the anomaly battle.

All five Shaymin are collected. The mushroom route worked without a reset. I’m returning to Eve for the heal and saving the team before the anomaly fight.

The five-Shaymin objective is confirmed in the save. For the next fight, I’ll lead Volcanion against Klefki and keep Magearna available for later knockouts; several enemies carry Red Cards, which can interrupt setup.

Eve has healed all six Pokémon. Volcanion is moving into the lead, and I’m making the prebattle save now.

The anomaly fight is underway with Eve’s Alakazam beside Volcanion. Registeel has first-turn protection, so I’m targeting Klefki first.

Klefki and Mega Steelix are down in the first two turns. Registeel is weakened, though Volcanion has been poisoned. I’m finishing Registeel before dealing with Cresselia.

Registeel is down. I withdrew the poisoned Volcanion, and Magearna came in on Naganadel’s Venoshock with immunity. That keeps Volcanion available for the remaining Steel-types.

Naganadel is down. Cresselia’s Red Card forced Magearna out, bringing Mawile in. We still have all six of our Pokémon; Eve has lost Alakazam and sent in Metagross.

Skarmory is down, and Mega Mawile has brought Cresselia close to fainting. The hazards make switching costly, but Mawile is still healthy enough to keep attacking.

Cresselia and Scrafty fell in the same turn. Shaymin has now entered and purified the field with Seed Flare, though that attack knocked out Eve’s Porygon-Z. Mawile is targeting Shaymin while Roserade’s seed protection expires.

Roserade’s boosted Giga Drain knocked out Zeraora on the switch. Zapdos is in now alongside Eve’s Latios; it resists both enemies’ Grass attacks and can hit Shaymin super effectively.

Roserade is down, and Shaymin is paralyzed with very little HP left. Correction to my earlier update: Electric damage is neutral against Sky Shaymin because its Grass typing offsets its Flying weakness.

Shaymin is down. Scizor’s Red Card forced the weakened Volcanion into the entry hazards, which knocked it out. Amoonguss is holding the field while I restore Magearna for the remaining three enemies.

Magearna is back in at high HP and has gained two Soul-Heart boosts as Eve’s remaining Pokémon fainted. It’s immune to Venusaur’s Venoshock and resists Scizor’s attacks, giving us a good position to finish.

I left Magearna in too long while it was asleep, and Venusaur’s Leaf Storm knocked it out. Amoonguss can absorb those Grass attacks; I’m using that opening to recover Magearna and reset our position.

Magearna is recovered and back in. Venusaur has weakened its own Special Attack with Leaf Storm, so I’m using Calm Mind to build enough defense and power to get through its sleep cycle.

Magearna has its first Calm Mind boost. Venusaur’s Leaf Storm is doing much less damage now; I’m keeping Magearna healthy while it works through the next sleep.

Magearna is at two Calm Mind boosts. Sleep Powder is slowing the finish, but I’m building toward a single-hit knockout on Venusaur so it cannot keep healing or putting us back to sleep.

Venusaur missed Sleep Powder, letting Magearna reach four Calm Mind boosts. I’m switching to attacks now.

Venusaur is down in one Flash Cannon. Only Scizor and Dragalge remain. Magearna is badly hurt, so I’m healing it before Scizor’s priority attack can interrupt the finish.

Anomaly Shaymin and Gracidea Friends are beaten on the first attempt. Magearna finished Venusaur, Scizor, and Dragalge. We used three Full Restores, one Revive, and two Ultra Potions; I’ll verify those counts against the completed battle and saves before archiving it.

The area has transformed into Idyll of Panaceance, and Eve now needs four Gracidea flowers. I’m saving and rotating the recording here, then continuing. Before the next boss, I’ll address the team’s hazard and sleep vulnerabilities rather than repeat this fight’s recovery cycle.

The Shaymin anomaly is defeated and the game is saved in Idyll of Panaceance. I’m finishing the recording review, then I’ll collect the Gracidea flowers and prepare the team for the next fight.

The recording review found only stationary menu and planning pauses to trim. Craudburry’s fight has a special requirement: we must win with the Flower Garden at stage five. I’m planning around that before entering.

The edited journey is saved, and recording has resumed for the flower search. I confirmed that Synthetic Seeds grow the garden, but they also root the holder in place; I’ll account for that before using them in the team plan.

Two hedge-maze orbs are activated. For Craudburry, Latias looks promising: Water Sport prevents the garden from burning, while Calm Mind and Recover could let it handle the fight without repeated bag healing. I’m checking the remaining mechanics before training it.

The first Gracidea is collected, and the Shaymin victory is now in the major-fights collection with the correct entry teams and item totals. I’m crossing the mushroom puzzle next; the route script verifies each switch change with a normal in-game save.

The northwest route stopped safely at a gap in the route planner. I’m checking the spring-grass events so the script can follow the full path to the next flower.

The installed game differs from the walkthrough here: the northwest path needs the blue mushroom state, not red. I’ve corrected the route and am continuing through the spring-grass jumps.

Two flowers are collected. The installed map also uses the red mushroom state for the northeast route, so I’m following that rather than the older guide. After the flowers, I’ll train Latias and update the team’s support moves before the boss.

Three flowers are collected; I’m finishing the southwest puzzle. Latias has strong Defense and Special Attack IVs, so it’s a useful reserve to develop. I’ll train its bulk and teach recovery and field-control moves for this fight.

The final orb is activated. Its long camera animation briefly put the saved checkpoint ahead of the switch change; I waited for completion and verified the finished state. I’ve also found a way to combine Latias’s EV training with Heart Scale collection, which it needs for its support moves.

All four Gracidea flowers are saved. I’m heading to town for Latias’s training and move preparation. The next battle is still untriggered, so we can enter with the team ready.

Latias and Arcanine are in the party for training. Arcanine’s Thief can collect Heart Scales while Latias earns EVs in the same encounters. Magearna will also get Safety Goggles to prevent powder moves from repeating the last fight’s sleep cycle.

Magearna now holds Safety Goggles, and Latias’s Timid nature is confirmed. I’m finishing the Power Weight setup and moving to the fishing shore, where the script will verify each training gain from normal saves.

Training has started. Latias will handle the ordinary fish directly, and Arcanine will switch in for Luvdisc to steal Heart Scales. That saves turns and avoids exposing Arcanine to unnecessary Water attacks in the rain.

Latias’s first three training gains are verified: 96 HP EVs so far, with both Pokémon still at full health. The fishing encounters are running automatically, with public battle checks and a saved verification after each win.

The HP block is nearly finished, and the team remains healthy. I’ll rotate the recording at the end of this block, then train Defense and teach Latias its final moves.

Latias’s HP training is complete at 252 EVs and has been saved. I’m rotating and reviewing this recording now, then continuing with Defense. We haven’t found a Heart Scale yet, so the second training block will also continue that search.

I’m resuming from the saved Latias training checkpoint. I’ll finish checking the last recording, then continue Defense training and collect the Heart Scales needed for the Craudburry team.

The flower quest footage and training joins look clean. I’m finishing the final idle trim and export checks; the game remains saved safely at Tanzan Cove.

The recording has passed its final decode check and is being appended to video 26. Latias has 252 HP EVs, a Timid nature, and full health; the next scripted block will train Defense while searching for Heart Scales.

Video 26 is updated and the verified source cleanup is complete. Recording has resumed, and I’m switching Latias to the Power Belt for its Defense training. Usage is at 94% used, so I’ll keep this block bounded and reserve the rest for a clean shutdown.

Defense training is progressing normally: the first two wins are saved and verified. The fishing helper is handling these low-level encounters automatically, with health and save checks after each battle.

Latias is over halfway through Defense training and remains healthy. No Heart Scale has dropped yet; once the EV block is complete, I’ll check usage before committing to more farming or the move-reminder trip.

Seven training wins are saved, with the eighth underway. This will finish Latias’s 252 HP / 252 Defense spread; its remaining preparation is levels and the recovery moves for Craudburry’s field objective.

Latias’s full defensive EV spread is complete and saved. I’ve switched to a bounded Heart Scale farming run with Arcanine leading, which avoids the extra switch each encounter.

The scale run is active. Arcanine is skipping non-Luvdisc encounters and using Thief on Luvdisc; each completed encounter is checked before continuing. The trained Latias checkpoint is already preserved.

The scale drops have been unlucky so far. I checked the installed mechanics: Luvdisc normally has a 50% Heart Scale chance, and Thief is intended to retain stolen wild items. I’m keeping the run bounded so it doesn’t consume the shutdown reserve.

Arcanine remains at full health, and the helper is quickly escaping the unwanted fish. No new scale yet. Once this batch ends, I’ll move on to Latias’s level and moves preparation if usage still allows it.

We’re still below the usage stop, but the encounter mix is mostly Basculin. I’m letting this fixed batch finish, then prioritizing the guaranteed preparation steps rather than extending the fishing indefinitely.

The batch is two-thirds complete with no scales recovered. I’m also checking the item-retention code against the completed encounter results, since this is an unusually dry run; I won’t assume we have the moves until the items are actually in the bag.

First Heart Scale recovered and moved into the bag. That confirms the farming method works; we need one more for Latias’s two reminder moves.

The fixed fishing batch is nearly done, with one scale banked. Latias’s EV training is complete; I’m preparing the exact candy count so the next steps can be handled in one short trip.

Latias needs 29 of our 32 XL candies to reach level 130. The final fishing encounter is finishing now; afterward I’ll spend those candies and head to the move reminder.

The last few encounters delivered all three Heart Scales. That covers Water Sport and Recover for Latias, plus a spare for Excadrill’s Rapid Spin. Latias is now being raised to 130 before the reminder trip.

Latias has reached level 130, and we’ve arrived at the Onyx move reminder. I’m teaching Water Sport and Recover, then adding Calm Mind from the TM.

The fresh save confirms level 130 and 457 HP. It also shows five Heart Scales before tutoring—more than the earlier running tally—so we have enough for Latias and Excadrill without further fishing.

Water Sport and Recover have been taught, and Calm Mind is being added now. This gives Latias the healing and field control the upcoming fight needs, rather than relying on a stock of battle items.

Latias’s four-move set is complete. I’m replacing the training item with Wise Glasses and healing the team, then adding Rapid Spin to Excadrill as a reusable hazard-removal option.

Latias is fully healed, equipped, and saved at the Grand Hall. Its finished build is ready for Craudburry; I’m making the reserve-team change now before returning to the quest.

Excadrill has replaced Arcanine now that farming is finished. The reserve keeps Earthquake, Rock Slide, and Swords Dance, with Rapid Spin replacing Protect.

Rapid Spin is taught successfully. I’m finishing the team checkpoint and returning the four Gracidea flowers; that scene opens the Craudburry challenge without starting the battle immediately.

Usage has reached 95% used, so I’m stopping gameplay here. I’ll finish the current menu action, save and quit, then finalize this recording and update the handoff. Craudburry will wait for the next session.

The game is saved and fully quit. We stopped at the Onyx move reminder with Latias’s finished level-130 build and Excadrill at 127 with Rapid Spin. All four Gracidea flowers are still in the bag; Craudburry has not been attempted. I’m finishing the recording now.

The final recording review found no additional idle cuts needed. Training, item collection, move changes, and shutdown are preserved; I’m completing the video append and syncing the exact save and resume notes.

Video 26 is published through this session, with its existing footage preserved exactly. The game and recorder are both closed, and verified source files have been cleaned. I’m making the final handoff commit now.

Stopped at 5% usage remaining, saved and fully quit.

• Latias: level 130, Timid, 252 HP / 252 Defense, complete Craudburry moveset.
• Excadrill: level 127 with Rapid Spin.
• Video 26 finalized through session 320; sources cleaned and handoff pushed.
• Next: deliver the four Gracidea flowers and challenge Craudburry. No attempt yet.
