Task 29

I’ll check the saved checkpoint and current usage, then resume the Gracidea quest with the prepared team.

The prepared team and saved checkpoint are intact, and the previous recordings are finalized. I’m resuming the Gracidea quest; Latias is ready for the fight’s special requirement to finish with a fully grown flower garden.

Recording is running and Aster is loaded at the move reminder. I’m returning the four Gracidea before challenging Craudburry. The plan is to use Latias’s recovery and Water Sport to grow and protect the garden while handling the opposing team.

The direct portal approach was blocked by the map layout, so I’m taking the accessible entrance through North Peridot. No battle has started; the team is still fully healed.

I found the route issue: the portal sits in an enclosed garden reached through a nearby house. I’ve corrected the travel sequence so future trips can use that entrance directly.

We’re back in the Idyll and heading to Eve with all four Gracidea. I’ll save immediately after the hand-in, so any retry can begin at Craudburry without repeating the quest.

The flower hand-in is complete and Craudburry has arrived. This scene leads to the saveable battle setup; the fight itself still hasn’t started.

Eve has provided the Flower Garden field notes. I’m finishing the dialogue and verifying the pre-battle save, then we can test the prepared Latias strategy.

Craudburry’s first attempt is underway. Latias got its first Calm Mind up before Victreebel attacked. I’m aiming for a second boost so it can remove Amoonguss before it changes the terrain.

Latias has both Calm Mind boosts. Victreebel poisoned it, so I used one Full Restore to clear that and restore its health; Latias is now ready to attack.

Victreebel and Amoonguss both went down to one Psychic each. Amoonguss never got to change the terrain. Torkoal is next, so I’m starting the garden-growth phase while keeping Latias healthy.

Torkoal used Explosion, but Latias survived comfortably. Crobat is now out; I’m removing it while Water Sport is active, then using Heatmor as the safer opponent to finish growing the garden.

Only Heatmor remains. Crobat inflicted another poison, which cost a second Full Restore, but the dangerous Taunt users are gone. Latias can now recover and refresh Water Sport until the garden reaches its final stage.

The stall is working: Heatmor’s attacks are manageable, and Recover keeps Latias healthy. I’m timing Water Sport renewals and checking the garden’s visible stage before taking the final knockout.

Craudburry is beaten on the first attempt, with the garden visibly at stage five. Latias handled the whole battle; two Full Restores were used to clear poison. I’m checking the quest completion and collecting Shaymin next.

The save confirms the quest advanced successfully. I’m collecting the remaining Shaymin, then heading back to the Nightclub for the next assignment. Usage is only 1% used.

The quest is complete and saved. The gift Shaymin wanders around, so I’m adjusting the interaction helper to follow its visible position instead of relying on its old saved coordinates.

The wandering Shaymin needs a bit more handling than a fixed NPC. The helper is using the recorded screen and sprite matching; I’m checking its match before letting it move automatically.

Shaymin has joined us and was sent to Box 3. The visible-position helper reached it successfully. I’m saving that acquisition and moving on to the next postgame assignment.

The next assignment leads to the Subseven Sanctum and the Palkia/Dialga anomalies. I’m checking the installed encounters and planning the team before entering that longer dungeon. (Walkthrough)

I’m bringing Mienshao back alongside Magearna for the opening double battle. Fake Out can interrupt the opponents’ Round combination while Magearna sets Trick Room. The rest of the team keeps Ground, Water, and Fairy coverage for the anomalies.

Magearna and Mienshao are now in the lead slots, and the party is healed. I’m topping up supplies before entering the Sanctum, then I’ll save at its entrance and reconcile this recording at that natural pause.

The installed trainer data shows the opening pair is Drampa and Aurorus. I’ve adjusted the plan: Fake Out Drampa while Magearna hits Aurorus with a four-times-effective Flash Cannon. That should give Magearna an early Soul-Heart boost without setting Trick Room for the slower Drampa.

Supplies are restocked and the new team is saved. I’m pausing gameplay to finish video 26’s latest segment and add Craudburry’s victory to the postgame collection; the game will stay open for the next leg.

The footage review is complete. I’m trimming the remaining idle time and adding Craudburry’s win to the major-fights collection, then continuing into Subseven Sanctum with the prepared team.

The revised edit passes playback checks and keeps the complete victory and story scenes. Craudburry’s entry records one attempt and two Full Restores. The next route leads toward the Palkia and Dialga anomalies.

Recording has resumed, and I’m traveling through 7th Street to Luna. Magearna and Mienshao will lead the opening double battle: Fake Out should stop Drampa’s first attack while Flash Cannon targets Aurorus.

I’ve reached 7th Street and corrected the route notes to include its elevator. The journey video is published; the major-fights collection is finishing its full-file verification while travel continues.

Craudburry’s victory is now verified in the collection, and its raw recording has been cleaned up. I’m approaching Luna and will save before entering the Sanctum’s opening encounter.

The opening battle has started with the expected Drampa and Aurorus leads. I’m using the planned opening, with Volcanion available if their Fire or Water attacks force a switch.

Aurorus, Drampa, and Primarina are down. Magearna has gained several Soul-Heart boosts; Mienshao landed the crucial knockout on Drampa but took heavy damage.

Both Mega Salamence and Pidgeot are down. Magearna and Volcanion have the battle under control; only Sylveon remains, and no healing items have been needed.

The opening fight is won on the first attempt without bag items. The cultists’ story scene is underway; afterward I’ll use the statue mechanics to work through the Sanctum’s maze.

The story has brought us to the prison cells. The statues grant wall-walking within a limited radius, so I’m using coordinate-checked steps to reach Lukah and open the way forward.

Lukah and Taka are free, and the exit door is open. I’ve also built a route planner for the wall-walking puzzle; its first route reaches the blue switch with one statue activation.

The blue switch is activated, and the team was fully healed by the story event. I’m heading to the red switch next; the planner now accounts for both the statue radius and the Sanctum’s connecting doors.

The maze has one extra wrinkle: stairs do not trigger while wall-walking is active. I’m adjusting the route to let the effect expire on ordinary floor before using them, then continuing to the red switch.

The stair route now works, and I’m through to the main maze. The remaining route is scripted with position checks at each statue, so it should move much faster than solving each crossing manually.

Two switches are activated. I’m crossing the central statue platforms toward the northwest switch; the script pauses for any unexpected dialogue or battle.

The platform route exposed an input issue: while wall-walking, a normal “turn and interact” command can step onto a statue instead of activating it. I’m fixing the helper to approach facing the statue and press confirm separately.

The corrected statue interaction is verified in the saved state, and the scripted crossings are working. I’m continuing toward the northwest switch, then the eastern wing.

The central crossings are now running smoothly. I’m also reviewing the anomaly teams ahead so we can choose the opening pairs before reaching them.

A story scene with Elias and Lukah interrupted the route as expected, and I’m advancing through it. The next two anomalies have different weaknesses, so I’ve prepared separate opening plans for Palkia and Dialga.

The northwest switch is activated—three of four are done. I’m now following the eastern route, and I’ve shortened the verified wall-walking batches to reduce time spent on coordinate checks.

An acolyte caught us on the eastern route. I’m handling that battle now; the maze checkpoints are saved, so the completed switches are secure.

Dragonite used Dragon Dance, so I switched Zapdos into its Earthquake to avoid damage. Magearna remains at full health for the rest of the acolyte’s team.

Dragonite is down. Zapdos was knocked out by Extreme Speed, but its Static paralysis let Magearna finish safely. Mienshao is now handling Snorlax.

Two missed attacks made Snorlax costly, but Mega Mawile has defeated it. Magearna is still healthy and matches up well against the two remaining Fairy-types.

Comfey is down, and Excadrill has reached the level-130 cap. Magearna is finishing the last opponent; afterward I’ll resume the saved maze route.

The acolyte is defeated without battle items. I’ve healed Magearna for the route ahead and am correcting the movement speed after the fight before resuming the precision crossings.

I found the cause of the speed issue in the game’s controls: battle turbo and overworld turbo are separate, and the game restores overworld speed automatically. I’ve recorded that behavior so future fights can stay fast without disrupting navigation.

I’m past the southern platforms and approaching the eastern wing. The navigation helper now also avoids known trainer sight lines when a safe alternative exists.

Another acolyte blocks this wing. Her team uses special attacks, so I’m setting up Magearna’s Calm Mind to strengthen both its offense and defenses before attacking.

Magearna is set up against Mirian. I’m continuing the fight, then heading for the last maze switch and the healing point before Palkia.

Wigglytuff and Blissey are down. Magearna’s setup is working, and it still has over half its health without using any items in this fight.

Mirian is defeated, with no battle items used. I’ve saved that win and am finishing the switch route; the shard near Palkia will restore the whole team before the anomaly battle.

Arcturus caught us in the next corridor, so there’s one more trainer before the switch. This is a doubles team built around spread attacks; I’m accounting for the party’s remaining health before committing to the opening.

Arcturus switched Jolteon out for Rotom. I’m bringing Mienshao back so Wide Guard can cover the team against Surf and Discharge while Magearna builds strength.

That opening failed: I underestimated how quickly their attacks would finish our weakened leads. I’m reloading the save after Mirian and restoring the team before retrying. The failed attempt will stay in the journey recording.

The retry will lead with a healthy Magearna and Mienshao: Fake Out buys the first setup turn, then Wide Guard covers spread attacks. I also switched field healing to the existing faster bag-selection helper to reduce menu time.

The healthy leads are in place for the retry. I’ve also saved immediately before Arcturus, so any further adjustment won’t cost us maze progress.

Wide Guard blocked their spread attacks on the last turn. Magearna’s paralysis is cured; I’m using that protection to set up Calm Mind before attacking.

Magearna now has three Calm Mind boosts, and Wide Guard has kept both leads safe through the setup. I’m switching to Dazzling Gleam while Mienshao continues guarding.

The setup has turned the fight around: Lanturn and Vaporeon are down, and the next pair is falling to boosted Dazzling Gleam. Mienshao is still holding Wide Guard.

Arcturus is defeated on the second attempt. Both leads survived; the only battle item used was the Full Heal for paralysis. I’m saving and moving on to the final switch.

The route triggered another memory scene with Solaris and young Taka. I’m letting that finish, then activating the last switch and reaching Palkia’s healing point before reconciling this recording.

The Solaris scene is complete. I’m on the last switch’s approach now; after the nearby heal, I’ll finalize this maze segment and start a fresh capture for Palkia.

All four switches are confirmed active. The remaining route retraces the statue passages toward Palkia; I’m running the checked movement sequence and stopping it if any dialogue or unexpected movement appears.

The return route is progressing normally. I’ve also packaged the recording’s idle-review preparation into a reusable script, so future editing pauses should require less manual setup.

One movement input didn’t register near a statue. The position check stopped the route safely; a verified retry succeeded, and the route is continuing.

We’re near the end of the statue route. Palkia’s opening is planned around Fake Out on Entei and Volcanion’s Steam Eruption, with Magearna’s Fairy Gem reserved for the later sweep.

The maze exit is reached. Next I’m healing the party, setting the Palkia leads, and saving before the recording-edit pause.

The shard has restored all six Pokémon. I’m finishing the held-item setup so the team can remove Palkia’s opening threats quickly, then saving the prepared lineup.

The prepared party is fully healed with restored PP. I’m making one last item adjustment—Charcoal on Volcanion to strengthen its follow-up Flamethrower—before saving and processing the recording.

The game is saved before Palkia, and recording 322 is closed. The archive check flagged a long pause in Mirian’s command menu, so I’m verifying that stretch before trimming it; all turns and both Arcturus attempts will remain.

The flagged stretch is confirmed as an unchanged command menu, so it can be cut without losing gameplay. The export is now rendering; I’ll check its cuts and joins before appending it to video 26.

The game is saved and ready for Palkia. I’m finishing the recording review, then I’ll resume the anomaly fights.

The maze footage and all trainer attempts are preserved, including the failed Arcturus attempt. The cuts reviewed so far remove coordinate checks and stationary menus; I’m checking the remaining joins before adding this segment to video 26.

The recording review is complete: about 11 minutes of edited footage, with normal-speed music and all attempts retained. I’m appending it now, then Mienshao and Volcanion will lead against Palkia.

I’ve recovered the Palkia fight at the first turn, with recording active. I’ll continue from there and keep the anomaly fight in the major-fights collection.

Entei is down. Mienshao absorbed the retaliation, and Victini has entered; I’m targeting it immediately while trying to establish Trick Room.

Victini is down, but it knocked out Magearna before Trick Room could go up. Mawile and Volcanion are now facing Jirachi and the opposing Magearna; I’m building Mawile’s attack while focusing down the Steel types.

Mawile is fully healthy and boosted. I’m bringing in Excadrill to finish the weakened Magearna while Mawile’s priority attack handles Jirachi.

Jirachi and Magearna fell together. Only Palkia and Meloetta remain; I’m removing Meloetta with Sucker Punch and reviving Magearna as insurance for the finish.

Palkia is the last opponent. Zapdos can slow it down, and the revived Magearna gives us a Fairy attack to finish safely once its Speed is reduced.

Anomaly Palkia is beaten on the first attempt, using one Revive. I’m closing its major-fight segment before the separate capture encounter, then I’ll catch Palkia for future team options.

The wild Palkia hit harder than expected on the switch. I’m using a safe replacement turn to land paralysis, then a bulkier Pokémon to handle the capture.

I’ve restored the capture team without risking the won boss fight. The next step is paralysis and controlled weakening; Palkia’s one-time encounter is worth securing.

Palkia is paralyzed and just over half health. I’m switching to a bounded Timer Ball routine with automatic HP checks and Roost, so the capture can proceed without repeated manual pauses.

The capture routine is holding, but Palkia’s attacks are forcing frequent recovery. I’ll move to Magearna at the next command pause; its Dragon immunity should make the remaining throws much steadier.

Magearna is taking much less damage. I’m lowering Palkia’s health once more, then resuming Timer Balls; the Dialga route and opening team are already planned.

Palkia has resisted the first few Timer Balls. The capture is still under control, and I’ve confirmed the short route to Dialga’s healing shard so we can move straight on afterward.

The capture is still ongoing. I’ve prepared the next navigation sequence and the Magearna–Mawile opening for Dialga, so there won’t be another planning delay once Palkia is secured.

Magearna is keeping the capture stable, and Palkia is now relying on weaker attacks. I’m continuing the ball queue while preserving the boss victory and its separate capture footage.

Palkia is caught. I’m saving that progress, healing at Dialga’s shard, and setting Magearna and Mawile as the next leads.

Palkia is safely in Box 3. I’m recording the checkpoint now, then taking the direct route to Dialga and using its healing shard before the next attempt.

The team is healed at Dialga’s shard. This matchup favors a stronger opening: Trick Room plus Mega Mawile’s Swords Dance, with Mienshao ready to block spread attacks if needed.

Dialga’s first attempt has started. Magearna and Mawile are in position for Trick Room and Swords Dance; this should give us control of the next several turns.

Both opponents focused Mawile and knocked it out, but Magearna is untouched, boosted, and has Trick Room active. Volcanion can now help remove both opening opponents before they move.

Celebi and Hoopa are down. Dialga and Volcanion are next; I’m combining Magearna’s boosted spread attack with focused damage on Dialga while Trick Room is still active.

Dialga is down. Mienshao is now blocking the remaining spread attacks while I restore Magearna for Keldeo and Meloetta.

Wide Guard protected Volcanion, and Magearna is back in with one Trick Room turn left. I’m using that turn to clear Keldeo and the weakened opposing Volcanion.

Only Meloetta and a nearly fainted Volcanion remain. Trick Room has ended, so Zapdos can finish Volcanion while our own Volcanion protects.

Meloetta’s Z-Move was largely absorbed by Protect, and the opposing Volcanion is gone. I’m attacking Meloetta with both remaining active Pokémon to close the fight.

Anomaly Dialga is beaten on the first attempt, also with one Revive. I’m separating the boss footage, then catching Dialga before continuing the story.

Both boss victories are logged with their exact item totals. For Dialga’s capture, I’m setting paralysis first and using Magearna’s Dragon immunity again.

Dialga was paralyzed by Zapdos’s Static, saving a setup turn. Its health is coming down safely; I’ll switch to Magearna for the ball throws.

Dialga is paralyzed and at roughly a quarter health. Magearna is setting up special defense before the capture queue; after these encounters, I’ll bring the trained Amoonguss back into the rotation for future captures.

Dialga is caught after three Timer Balls. The next story transition can lead directly into Umbral Taka, so I’m saving here and reviewing that full sequence before triggering it.

Both legendaries are secured. I’m pausing gameplay here to finalize this recording and its two major-fight entries, then I’ll resume with the next encounter prepared.

The first edit is about eight minutes, including both victories and both captures. I’m checking the cuts and idle-time candidates before appending it to video 26 and publishing the two major-fight segments.

The reviewed cuts preserve the battle actions, captures, and story transitions. I’m removing another 23 seconds of verified idle footage and rebuilding the final audio timing.

Palkia and Dialga are both caught, and the game is safely saved. I’m finishing their recording checks before resuming the next story fight.

Both victories are ready for the major-fights collection with one attempt and one Revive each. The next story sequence can trigger Taka automatically, so I’m checking the route and available preparation before stepping into it.

The next battle is a Fire-heavy doubles team. I’m checking whether we can reach the PC first; if the story locks us in, I’ll adjust the current team’s moves before triggering it.

The exit is blocked by the story trigger, so I’m preparing with the team we have. Volcanion now has Rock Slide for Charizard and Volcarona; Magearna and Mienshao will lead with Trick Room and Wide Guard.

The saved-team check caught a teaching-script error: it replaced Protect instead of Haze because it mistook another party member’s name for the learner. I’ve fixed that check and am restoring Protect before entering the fight.

The corrected moveset is saved and verified. We’re moving into the memory sequence now; the event heals the party before Taka’s battle.

The team is now confirmed as intended, including Rock Slide and Protect on Volcanion. The long Lin/Titania scene is advancing automatically, while the Dialga compilation finishes its verification in the background.

Palkia and Dialga are now fully published in both archives, and their verified source footage has been cleaned up. The story has reached Taka’s return; I’m advancing to the battle prompt.

Taka’s battle is starting. The opening plan is Wide Guard to block spread attacks while Magearna sets Trick Room, then use our slower attackers against his fast Fire types.

Trick Room is up. Taka switched his weakened Tapu Bulu out, and Charizard took down Mienshao with Air Slash. Volcanion is in now, with Magearna still able to attack before the faster opponents.

Charizard and Blacephalon are both weakened. Excadrill is using Rock Slide under Trick Room while Volcanion protects itself; that should remove both threats this turn if the attacks connect.

Both went down. Taka brought Tapu Bulu back to restore Grassy Terrain, so I’m preserving Excadrill for Heatran and switching Zapdos in while Volcanion finishes Bulu.

Infernape’s boosted Heat Wave knocked out Zapdos. I’m using a short setup sequence to make Volcanion durable enough to finish this team, then we’ll get back to the PC and improve the roster for the next quests.

Volcanion’s special-defense boost is working—it survived that turn comfortably. I’m bringing Mienshao back for Wide Guard and adding Speed so Volcanion can strike before Infernape.

Volcanion now has the speed and defense it needs, and Mienshao is back on the field. I’m adding the final damage boost, then targeting Infernape first.

Infernape is down. Volcanion is now faster than the remaining pair and has enough health after healing; Heatran is the next target.

Taka is defeated on the first attempt. Volcanion finished the last three Pokémon. I’m saving the aftermath and heading back for proper team preparation before the next tier.

The Subseven quest is complete, the party is healed, and we’re saved at the Grand Hall. There’s one anomaly left before the cap increases. I’m preparing terrain support and restoring Amoonguss to the rotation so the next battles and captures need fewer recovery items.

The remaining anomaly is Darkrai. Its final arena prevents terrain changes, so Misty Terrain alone won’t solve the sleep problem. I’m adding Safeguard to Meowstic as a reliable way to protect the whole team.

Taka is defeated and the game is safely saved at Grand Hall. I’m finishing the recording checks, then preparing the team for Darkrai’s sleep-heavy quest.

The journey edit is verified. Taka’s major-fight chapter is rendering with the original entry team and all six items counted. Next I’ll bring Meowstic and Amoonguss back into the party and restock before entering the dream quest.

Meowstic is back in the team. Safeguard should protect both active Pokémon from Dark Void and Spore, while Light Screen will help against Darkrai’s special attacks. I’m also improving held items before we leave.

Amoonguss is back too. The party now has sleep protection, screens, recovery, and Spore for captures. I’m moving Light Clay onto Meowstic so its Light Screen lasts longer, then stocking enough medicine for the locked section.

The dream quest also includes Hypno and Shiv before Darkrai. The team’s Safeguard plan covers their sleep moves too. I’m checking those encounters now so we can move through them without lengthy mid-battle planning.

Taka’s chapter is now published and its temporary footage has been cleaned up. Recording has resumed while I make the team changes; the earlier journey and major-fight files are verified.

Safeguard is learned. I’m finishing the held-item changes and supplies now. The quest has a scripted nightmare sequence as well as ordinary battles, so I’ll follow its intended progression and keep the pre-entry backup safe.

The new builds are ready: Meowstic has Safeguard and Light Clay, Magearna has Wise Glasses, Zapdos has Wide Lens, and Volcanion has Wave Incense. I’m restocking at Grand Hall, then heading to Cass and Iolia.

Supplies are nearly finished. I’ve also mapped the route back through Iolia’s already-solved crystal passages, so we can reach the anomaly without repeating the old puzzle work.

We’ve reached the Nightclub with the prepared team and supplies saved. I’m accepting Cass’s quest now, then heading straight to the Iolia anomaly.

Cass’s quest is accepted and backed up. We’re traveling to Iolia now; the next battle is Anomaly Hypno on the Chess field.

For Hypno, I’m leading Magearna and Volcanion to remove Swoobat before its setup gets dangerous. Meowstic will stay ready to block sleep, and Amoonguss can clear enemy stat boosts if needed.

We’re back in Iolia. The previous crystal work is still intact, and the route is carrying us toward the northern tear.

The northern passage turns out to be an unopened side branch. I’m working through its crystal connections; the game’s route checks stopped us before making any incorrect inputs.

The bridge itself is already active. A respawned smashable rock is blocking access to the northern branch, so I’m clearing that and checking the remaining path.

I missed a traversal requirement in the preparation: the northern entrance needs Surf and Waterfall. I’m making a quick PC stop for Swampert, which already has both, and teaching it Rock Smash for the passage.

Swampert is in the party. I’ve verified the waterfall route now, and there is a healing and PC option inside the dream sequence, so we can adjust the team again after the crossing.

Swampert’s travel moves are ready, and we’re returning to the waterfall. I also tightened the teaching script’s checks for Reborn’s unusual TM numbering so future machine selections are validated before opening the bag.

We’re on the return path with Surf, Waterfall, and Rock Smash covered. The recording is healthy, and the prepared team is saved before entering the dream quest.

We’re above the waterfall. The route paused on a misread map number; I verified the coordinate display and added the existing pixel-based correction for this map. We’re opening the final crystal passage now.

The northern passage is open. We’re entering the anomaly now, with the team healthy and the pre-entry save preserved.

We’ve reached PULSE Hypno. Magearna and Volcanion are leading, and I’m saving immediately before the fight.

Swoobat is down on the first turn. Hypno brought in Rhyperior next; I’m using Steam Eruption on it while Magearna pressures both opponents.

Magearna went down, and Rhyperior is still standing. Zapdos is in now; I’m targeting Golisopod with Fly while Volcanion tries Steam Eruption again.

Rhyperior is down. Volcanion protected itself while Zapdos weakened Golisopod. I’m bringing Meowstic in now so Safeguard is ready before Hypno appears.

Aegislash knocked Meowstic out before it could set up. I’m using one Revive to recover the sleep-protection plan while Zapdos finishes its next Fly.

Hypno is on the field, and Meowstic is back in position to use Safeguard. Mawile is still healthy for the main attack on Hypno.

Hypno’s attack knocked out Zapdos, and Mawile took heavy damage too. Swampert is coming in to support a Full Restore while Mawile Mega Evolves and attacks Hypno.

Mega Mawile landed a strong hit on Hypno and can finish it with another Play Rough. I’m switching Swampert out to reduce the damage from Foul Play and preserve it for the remaining opponents.

Hypno is defeated. The remaining fight is Aegislash, Banette, and the weakened Golisopod. Mawile is handling the damage while Swampert supports it.

Golisopod is down; Aegislash and Banette are the last two opponents. I’m keeping Swampert healthy while Mawile finishes Aegislash, then I’ll secure the checkpoint and reconcile the recording.

PULSE Hypno is beaten on the first attempt. Mawile finished the fight after Swampert fell. I’ll save at the next safe point and preserve this win in the postgame major-fights collection.

The save is secure in Endgame, the next part of Darkrai’s quest. The completed battle log confirms four bag items used. I’m processing that recording while continuing toward Anna’s healing point.

Shiv’s opening scene is underway. The recording checks show the removed sections are coordinate popups and unchanged battle menus; the fight’s damage, knockouts, and victory remain intact.

Anna is reachable, so we have a recovery point inside the nightmare. I’m checking the next bosses’ fields and moves before choosing the team; Wide Guard may be especially useful against their spread attacks.

Camerupt’s unusual Sturdy setup needs a closer check before I start the battle. I’m checking whether ordinary damage can finish it; if it has only one HP, I’ll unlock team access through another boss and bring a direct counter.

Camerupt does have one HP with Sturdy, so repeated attacks won’t solve it. I’m taking Tangrowth first to unlock Anna’s PC, then I can bring Excadrill’s Mold Breaker for Camerupt.

The team is fully healed and saved immediately before Tangrowth. Volcanion and Magearna are leading; I’ll focus Avalugg first and use Magearna to counter Trick Room if needed.

Avalugg’s Precipice Blades hit much harder than the previous field’s Ground attacks. I’ve switched to Zapdos and Mawile to reduce that pressure; Mawile will set up while Zapdos supports it.

Hypno’s recording is finalized and verified: the major-fights archive now has 55 postgame chapters, with the original team and four-item count shown. Tangrowth is still in progress; Mawile is set up, and I’m working through Avalugg.

Avalugg and Mary-Lou are down. Meowstic is now in safely, so I can put up Light Screen against Swalot while Mawile keeps attacking.

The remaining Tangrowth is using Strength Sap, which weakens Mawile and heals itself. I’m shifting the finishing role to Magearna’s special attacks while Mawile pressures Swalot.

Magearna knocked out Cindy. Suzy had switched out earlier and is back beside Swalot. Muddy Water has lowered our accuracy repeatedly, so I’m correcting that before the final attacks.

Mawile has fallen, but Magearna is boosted and Suzy is nearly down. For Camerupt, I’m checking our boxed support Pokémon for a reliable answer to Sturdy before committing to another attempt.

I’m finishing the last Pokémon in the Tangrowth fight, then preparing a direct counter to Camerupt’s Sturdy before moving on. The previous recording is finalized and backed up.

Magearna’s boosted Flash Cannon has Swalot down to roughly a third of its health. For Camerupt, I found a cleaner answer: Shaymin can replace Sturdy with Worry Seed, letting Volcanion finish it immediately.

Swalot knocked out Volcanion and dodged one Flash Cannon. Swampert is now covering the second slot while Magearna finishes the fight; its Steel typing also blocks Swalot’s Clear Smog from removing the boosts.

Swalot is now in the red. Once this is over, Anna’s newly unlocked PC will let me bring in Shaymin. I’m checking the matchup before spending scarce healing items on another attempt.

Muddy Water’s accuracy drops are prolonging the finish. I’ve healed Magearna and am correcting its accuracy before using its last Flash Cannon PP. For the next fight, Magearna will partner Shaymin: their speeds guarantee Worry Seed lands before the finishing attack.

There’s an even better fit already in storage: Genesect knows Simple Beam, which also removes Sturdy. That avoids needing a move tutor here and gives us a sturdier opening against Camerupt’s support Pokémon.

Tangrowth is beaten on the first attempt. I’m saving that win, healing with Anna, and bringing Genesect into the team for the next PULSE fight.

The win is saved, and the completed battle log confirms nine bag items used: seven Full Restores and two X Accuracies. Genesect’s verified speed is 278, ahead of Magearna’s 205, so the planned ability removal and finishing hit have the correct order.

I found a catch in this area’s rules: Anna unlocks storage only after a PULSE battle loss, not a victory. I’m checking the normal forfeit option so we can unlock team changes promptly; that attempt will remain in the journey and be counted honestly.

The game’s normal forfeit returns us to this area’s entrance and enables Anna’s PC. I’ll use that once to access the counter team, then retry Camerupt with Genesect and Magearna. Tangrowth’s saved victory is retained.

The forfeit is recorded. I’m clearing the loss transition and checking that the PC unlock took effect before making the team swap.

The PC unlock is confirmed in the new save. This also gives us a useful answer for the upcoming Wonder Guard fight, so Genesect should help beyond Camerupt. I’m preserving the forfeit and both original team snapshots for the video records.

Anna’s PC is available now. I’m replacing Swampert with Genesect while keeping Volcanion for Camerupt’s Grass- and Steel-type support team. The next opening is planned to remove Camerupt before it attacks.

Genesect is in place and fully healthy. I’m returning to Camerupt with the revised leads, then rolling the recording at this save point so the Tangrowth footage can be edited while play continues.

The counter team is saved at Camerupt, and recording 327 is running with the framing verified. I’m starting the retry while recording 326’s edit and review materials render in the background.

The opening worked exactly: Simple Beam removed Sturdy, then Magearna knocked Camerupt out before it could attack. Both of our leads are still at full health. Now it’s just the support team.

Whimsicott is down too. I’ve withdrawn the injured Genesect and brought in Volcanion; Magearna remains healthy and is strengthening with each knockout. The Tangrowth edit is also rendering cleanly, with its battle and loss footage preserved.

Meowstic and Klefki fell together. Only Amoonguss remains, and Magearna is still at full health with five Special Attack boosts. No bag items have been needed in this retry.

Camerupt’s team is beaten in five turns with zero bag items. The targeted team change paid off. Next is PULSE Mr. Mime on Glitch Field, where I’m adjusting the team around the field’s unusual move and Special-stat rules.

Camerupt’s win is saved. For Mr. Mime, I’m bringing in Latias with Calm Mind and Recover, plus Dragon Claw—which Glitch Field treats as a special attack. Genesect stays ready to remove Wonder Guard. Recording 326 has passed review and been appended to video 26.

Camerupt is beaten, and I’m preparing a more durable team for Mr. Mime’s Glitch Field. Latias and Cresselia are in the party now; I’m also finishing the Tangrowth video segment while the recording continues.

The Glitch Field makes Dragon Claw a special attack, so Latias can boost its damage and defenses together with Calm Mind. I’m adding that coverage before the next fight, with Light Screen support and Genesect available to remove Wonder Guard.

The new team is fully healed and saved. I’m heading to Mr. Mime now; the Tangrowth segment has passed its visual review, and the cumulative archive is undergoing its final decode check.

Mr. Mime’s encounter is a singles battle. That gives Latias a safer setup path: Meowstic is putting up Light Screen first, then Latias can boost and recover while handling the opening Abra.

Light Screen is up, and Latias switched in on Abra’s recharge turn without taking damage. The Tangrowth archive is now finalized, and its consumed recording files have been cleaned up.

Latias is setting up safely: Abra’s damage has already fallen from 121 to 62 per hit, with a free recharge turn between attacks. I’m using that opening to build enough strength for the rest of the team.

Latias has recovered to full health and is nearly fully boosted. I’ve also added a small helper for repetitive turns that checks the visible Pokémon, command menu, and HP before each move, stopping if any of them change unexpectedly.

Abra is down. Mr. Mime’s Wonder Guard is next, but Latias’s boosts give us another safe option: exhaust Psycho Boost and let recoil finish it, preserving the boosts for the remaining opponents.

Mr. Mime is doing about 49 damage per hit while losing health to its own Life Orb. Latias can comfortably recover through this, so we can keep the fully boosted setup without spending healing items.

Latias is still healthy, and Mr. Mime is nearly out of health from recoil. The setup has held without losing a teammate or using a bag item.

Mr. Mime fainted from Struggle recoil, and Latias kept all six boosts. Three opponents remain; I’m moving back to offense now.

Muk used Explosion and took Latias down with it. We still have five Pokémon against two; Cresselia is in against Magnezone and can take over the defensive setup.

Cresselia has three Calm Minds up and recovered safely. Magnezone’s attacks are becoming manageable; I’m keeping enough health in reserve before finishing the setup.

Cresselia is fully boosted now, and Magnezone’s last hit did only 90 damage. I’m testing Psychic’s damage before deciding whether to keep attacking or heal once more.

Magnezone can recover faster than Psychic wears it down. I’m using Moonblast to try lowering its Special Attack; on this field, that also lowers the Special stat it uses to resist our attacks.

Moonblast has lowered Magnezone’s Special Attack once, and its attacks are now doing much less damage. I’m aiming for one more drop so Psychic can get through its Recover cycle reliably.

Clawitzer switched into Psychic and went down on the next turn. Its critical hit hurt Cresselia, but only Magnezone remains, and Cresselia still has recovery available.

Magnezone reset its earlier stat drops by switching out, so I’m lowering its Special Attack again now that it is the last opponent. Cresselia is holding steady, and we still haven’t used a bag item.

The extra Special Attack drop didn’t land, and Cresselia is running low on attacking PP. I’m using its remaining Psychics to pressure Recover, with Volcanion ready to finish if needed.

Mr. Mime’s team is beaten on the first attempt, with zero bag items used. Cresselia finished Magnezone with a critical Psychic; five of our six Pokémon survived.

All three berry encounters are cleared and saved. I’ve started the next recording and am returning to Anna to heal, while the completed recording is being trimmed and prepared for review.

The party is healed and saved. I’m moving through the next dream sequence now, while checking the recordings and the team requirements for the fights beyond it.

Before leaving this area, I’m bringing Magearna and Mawile back for the upcoming Dark-type opponents. Latias and Cresselia did their job on Glitch Field; Fairy attacks and Safeguard will fit the next fights better.

Magearna and Mawile are back in the team, and I’m heading toward the exit. The story has temporarily taken the bag away, so the party is fully healed before continuing.

The “exit” looped us back into the dream, and Shiv is revealing the next part of the sequence. The latest journey edit is published; both Camerupt and Mr. Mime now have reviewed victory segments with their original entry teams.

This Shiv encounter is scripted: the game temporarily reduces the party to level 1 and restores it afterward. I’ll take the required loss and continue the story; the real Shiv battle comes later.

The scripted dream loss is complete, and the game has moved into Shiv’s next story scene. The Mr. Mime victory is now finalized in both videos; I’m continuing toward the real Darkrai confrontation.

The dream sequence restored the team’s levels and returned us to the forest. A wild encounter interrupted the walk back to Shiv; I’m clearing it and continuing the story.

The team and inventory are restored, and Shiv is now offering the dream’s apparent reward. The recent victories and recovery checkpoint are also backed up to the private repository.

Shiv’s reward is part of the dream sequence, so I’m following the remaining escape events before treating Darkrai as secured. The next real fights will use our restored level-130 team.

There’s another stage before the real Shiv fight: the quest leads back through the city and includes a Corey battle. I’ve identified that transition in the installed events and am routing there now.

Corey’s team is entirely Poison-focused and heavily trained. Before triggering that battle, I’m checking access to the treatment plant and a nearby PC so we can bring our Psychic attackers back in.

I’m replacing the lower-level Genesect and Mawile with Latias and Cresselia for Corey. That gives us two durable Psychic attackers while keeping Volcanion, Zapdos, and Magearna for coverage.

The team changes are complete. The treatment plant’s restored route is only a few rooms from the waterfall entrance, so I’m taking that approach rather than retracing the older sewer route.

We’re at Celestinine Cascade and heading down into the treatment plant. Cresselia is the main plan for Corey: Light Screen support, Calm Mind, then Psychic, with Moonblast available for his Dark-type Skuntank.

The waterfall approach needs a Surf user, which this battle team currently lacks. I’m checking the quickest normal route around that requirement so we don’t spend time forcing a blocked path.

Swampert already has Surf and Waterfall, and Earthquake also suits Corey’s Poison team. I’m bringing it in for Magearna; that fixes travel without spending a move slot on either Psychic attacker.

Swampert is now in the party, with both travel moves and Earthquake confirmed. The six are fully healed; I’m returning to the waterfall and proceeding directly to Corey’s dream event.

The return route is progressing normally. I’ve also prepared the archive entries for Corey, the real Shiv fight, and the Darkrai anomaly so their victories will remain in the correct order.

We’re inside the treatment plant now. Surf and Waterfall both worked, and the route helper is taking us through the restored rooms to the dream door.

The plant’s entry hall needed a small route-helper update to account for the purified water. That is working now, and I’m also preserving the dream’s fake-title-screen music correctly in the recording notes.

We’ve crossed the first two rooms and are approaching the Onyx Water Grid door. The team is still untouched, so I can save immediately before the dream transition and start Corey from a clean checkpoint.

The last room requires a short Surf detour around its platforms. We’re through most of it; the next checkpoint will be directly outside Corey’s trigger.

The pre-fight save is secure, and Corey’s introduction is playing. I’ll use the guarded turn scripts for setup and repeated moves, stopping automatically if the opponent, active Pokémon, or HP changes unexpectedly.

Corey’s scene is still in its story dialogue, now nearing the challenge. No battle turns have started yet; the helper is advancing the text continuously.

Light Screen is up. Hail changes the plan slightly because it weakens Cresselia’s Moonlight, so I’m setting up Latias instead; Recover keeps its full healing power in this weather.

Latias got a free switch into Earth Power thanks to Levitate and has set up two Calm Minds. I’m healing once before finishing the setup, then moving straight into attacks.

Latias is handling Nidoqueen’s Ice Beam comfortably behind the screen. One final Calm Mind and Recover will leave it ready to attack at +3, with the rest of the team still healthy.

Corey switched Skuntank into the Psychic matchup. Swampert entered safely on a failed Sucker Punch, so I’m using Earthquake to remove that immunity before bringing the Psychic attackers back.

Skuntank is down. Corey offered a free switch before Crobat, so Zapdos is in without taking an attack; I’m using Discharge next.

Crobat used Tailwind and Roost, but Discharge has now paralyzed it. Zapdos remains healthy, and the script is continuing attacks with an HP guard.

Crobat is down. Dragalge is next, so I’m refreshing Light Screen before its powerful special attacks; Cresselia will take over afterward.

Meowstic got both Light Screen and Safeguard up before fainting. Cresselia now enters protected from poison, with Skuntank and Crobat already removed.

Cresselia absorbed Dragalge’s Z-Move and has two Calm Minds up. Its third boost and a heal should put it in position to finish the remaining Poison types.

Dragalge is down in one Psychic. Cresselia is staying in for Toxapex; the remaining team has no Psychic immunity.

Toxapex fell despite using Haze. Only Nidoqueen and Toxicroak remain; Latias is returning for Nidoqueen while Cresselia and the other attackers cover the finish.

Nidoqueen is down. I’m using one Full Restore on Cresselia for the last Toxicroak, then Psychic; that avoids risking the finish on its priority attack.

Cresselia is healed and Toxicroak missed its attack. Psychic is going in now to finish the fight.

Corey is beaten on the first attempt: 25 turns, one Full Restore, and five Pokémon surviving. I’m finishing the aftermath, then updating the recording before the next stage.

The aftermath has returned us to Peridot Ward, where Adrienn is waking the player from the next dream layer. I’ll heal and restore the Fairy-focused team before returning to the Nightclub.

The story healed everyone automatically. I’m restoring Magearna and Mawile now, while the finished recording is being trimmed and rendered in the background.

The Fairy team is restored and saved. I’m heading back to the Nightclub while reviewing the recording’s cuts; the completed hour has condensed to about nine minutes before the final idle cleanup.

I’m resuming the Darkrai quest with the team healed and prepared for Shiv. I’ll finish reviewing the previous recording alongside play, then archive Corey’s win in the major-fights collection.

The recording review looks clean: the cuts remove pauses while preserving the dream sequence, travel, and Corey battle. I’m now moving through Luna’s sequence toward the real Shiv fight.

The party is ready for Shiv’s sleep tactics, with Safeguard and Light Screen on Meowstic. The revised recording has passed its decode check and is being added to video 26.

Luna’s path has reached the reveal before Shiv. Video 26 is updated through Corey, and his separate victory segment is rendering with the team and item count from that attempt.

Shiv opened with a field-boosted Nature Power, so Meowstic took a heavy hit but got Safeguard up. I’m adding Light Screen before bringing in Volcanion against Roserade.

Roserade is down after two Flamethrowers. Shiv is sending in Gyarados, so Zapdos gets a free switch and can threaten it with Discharge. No healing items used so far.

Zapdos knocked out Gyarados in one hit. Mega Mawile is now facing Metagross; I’m setting up Swords Dance for Sucker Punch. Corey’s major-fight segment has also passed verification and been published.

Metagross’s boosted Meteor Mash knocked Mawile out before it could set up. Volcanion has brought Metagross into the red; I’m finishing it off, with Magearna and Cresselia still healthy.

Metagross is down. Magearna is using Weavile to build up Calm Mind boosts, then Trick Room should let it attack first against the remaining team.

Magearna’s setup worked: Weavile and Aipom are down, and each knockout added another Special Attack boost. Charizard is Shiv’s last Pokémon, with Trick Room still active.

Shiv is beaten on the first attempt, with no items used. The fight took about eight minutes. I’m healing at the nearby Light Shard and restoring Meowstic and Magearna as the leads for the Darkrai anomaly.

The team is fully healed and saved just before Darkrai. I’ll lead with priority Safeguard to block its sleep moves while Magearna attacks both opponents, then catch the real Darkrai afterward.

Safeguard blocked Breloom’s Spore, and Magearna knocked out both opening opponents with Dazzling Gleam. Meowstic fainted, but Magearna is unharmed and has gained three Soul-Heart boosts.

The second pair went down just as quickly: Darkrai and Meloetta are out. Magearna and Mega Mawile are both untouched, with Hypno and Sableye left to defeat.

The Darkrai anomaly is defeated in three turns, on the first attempt, with no items used. The catch encounter is next; this is the one-time Darkrai I want to keep for future battles.

Darkrai is paralyzed. Its sleep moves make the catch less straightforward, so I’m using Magearna’s bulk to keep throwing safely without risking an accidental knockout.

Magearna is holding up well, and Darkrai remains paralyzed. I’m using Timer Balls in short, health-checked batches while checking the next postgame quests.

Darkrai has broken out of the first batch. Magearna is still safe, and I’m continuing the catch. For the next tier, I’ll bring a dedicated catcher so these encounters take less time.

Darkrai is still resisting capture, but the health checks are keeping Magearna safe. Once it’s caught, I’ll start video 27 at the level-cap increase and prepare the next team with False Swipe and Spore.

Magearna now has extra Calm Mind boosts, so the catch is more stable. I’ve confirmed that Amoonguss is already level 130 in storage and that we own False Swipe’s TM; both will help with the remaining legendaries.

The next level cap unlocks once this catch is complete and we return to the Nightclub. I’ll restock balls and use the repeatable trainers to bring the team up to 135 before taking on the next anomalies.

The Timer Balls are gone, so I’m trying the remaining Ultra Balls. If those fail too, I’ll return with the capture team instead of spending more time on low-odds throws.

I’ve prepared the faster training routine for the next tier. The remaining delay is this catch; if the current batch fails, I’ll switch to a proper capture setup with Spore and False Swipe.

This catch attempt has used too many balls for too little progress. I’m reloading the save from before the anomaly, then fetching Amoonguss and teaching Mawile False Swipe. That restores the supplies and gives the next catch much better odds.

I’m preparing a proper catching team for Darkrai, then I’ll repeat the short anomaly battle and continue into the next postgame tier.

The anomaly battle itself worked in three turns. The retry is to improve the capture: Amoonguss supplies sleep, and False Swipe lets Mawile safely bring Darkrai down to 1 HP.

I’m bringing Amoonguss out of storage and keeping the battle core intact. I’ll also revive Meowstic before the anomaly ends so it can block Dark Void at the start of the wild encounter.

I’m using the Grand Hall stop to update the team and save a fresh checkpoint. The recording still includes the first anomaly win and the unsuccessful catch attempt, so neither will be lost from the journey video.

Amoonguss is now in the party. Swampert is joining for the return trip’s Surf and Waterfall sections; Magearna and Mawile still cover the anomaly battle.

Mawile has learned False Swipe. I’m saving this capture-ready team, rolling the recording at this pause, and heading back to Darkrai while the previous segment renders.

The team is ready and the return route is underway. The previous recording is now closed and rendering; the new recording is running with verified game-only framing.

The route back is progressing through Iolia. I’m checking the rendered cuts during travel; the first win, failed catch, reload, and team changes are all retained, with stationary waits trimmed.

Swampert has taken us back up the waterfall. The recording review is nearly finished, and the next save will be immediately before the anomaly so any further catch retry can start there.

We’re back in Darkrai’s area with the prepared team. I’m saving at the encounter, then repeating the opening that worked and using Mawile’s final turn to revive Meowstic for the capture.

The opening repeated cleanly: Safeguard blocked Spore, and Magearna knocked out both opening opponents. Mawile is coming in for the second wave.

The second wave is down. Meowstic’s Revive is queued, and Magearna is finishing the final pair; that should leave us ready to establish Safeguard as soon as the wild Darkrai appears.

The anomaly is beaten again in three turns, with one Revive used to prepare for the catch. Meowstic is ready; next comes Safeguard, then False Swipe and Spore.

Darkrai opened with Nasty Plot, so I added Light Screen alongside Safeguard before switching. That gives the catching team some protection while Mawile lowers its HP.

Amoonguss’s Clear Smog removed Darkrai’s accumulated Nasty Plot boosts. That keeps the capture manageable before we lower it to 1 HP, when Clear Smog would no longer be safe to use.

Darkrai is now at 1 HP and asleep. Amoonguss is healthy, and the Timer Balls have reached their full strength. This is the capture setup we were missing on the first attempt.

Darkrai is caught—four Timer Balls, with Amoonguss still at full health. I’m saving the capture, then moving on to the level-135 tier and training the team before its major fights.

The capture is saved, and the game now records 44 legendaries with Darkrai’s quest complete. I’m returning to the club; the next level-cap increase will start video 27 as requested.

Darkrai’s capture and the latest archive work are backed up. I’m at the club entrance, ending video 26 here and starting video 27 with the level-135 unlock.

The level cap is now 135. I’m collecting the new quest leads, then using repeatable Grand Hall battles for training supplies before taking on the next anomalies.

Darkrai is caught, and the level cap is now 135. I’m finishing the new quest pickups, then strengthening the team while the last recording is prepared for the archive.

The new quest leads are accepted. I’m heading to the Grand Hall for repeatable training rewards; the Darkrai footage now has its idle waits trimmed, with both the anomaly win and capture preserved.

Video 26 is being finalized at the level-cap boundary, and Video 27 is recording the new tier. I’m restoring Volcanion to the battle team and using Magearna for the Grand Hall training rounds.

Today’s Grand Hall trainer is Jonah, whose team is Water-type. Zapdos is a better fit for these rounds, so I’m using it to earn the candies for the level-135 team.

The first training round is underway. Darkrai’s anomaly victory has also been added to the major-fight archive with the correct team panel, two attempts, and one Revive recorded.

Zapdos cleared Jonah’s team without taking damage. I’m collecting the reward and repeating the matchup to bring the whole party to 135 before the next anomaly.

Training is progressing smoothly, with no items needed. I’m preparing the Rhodochrine picnic quest next and checking the upcoming fights so we can choose the team before entering them.

The Darkrai chapter is fully verified and published. I’m removing only the source files already preserved in the finished videos, freeing recording space while training continues.

The next quest includes a Pokémon-balancing puzzle. I’ve made a small planner to find the fewest battles needed on each floor, which should keep us moving once we arrive.

Four training rounds are complete. The team is gaining levels naturally as well as collecting candies, so the final candy cost is dropping. The next quest’s opening is prepared and ready to run after training.

The team has reached levels 131–132 through the training battles, and I’m finishing the last two rounds. The archive cleanup is complete; the recordings and their verification notes are preserved.

The final training round is underway. After spending the rewards, the six-member party will be at 135, with some candy left for reserves or a new catch that suits an upcoming fight.

Training is complete: six wins, no healing items used, and 72 XL candies earned. The current party only needs 36 to reach 135, leaving enough to train the newly caught Darkrai as another strong option.

I’m applying the candies now. Darkrai will join the trained reserves, and I’m also checking accessible held-item pickups to improve the team’s staying power for later fights.

The original six are now fully healed at level 135. I’m leveling Darkrai next, then moving on to the picnic quest; its Psychic-type puzzle encounters will also help train Darkrai’s Special Attack.

Darkrai is now level 135 too. I’m heading to Rhodochrine with a Power Lens on it, so suitable puzzle battles can build its Special Attack while advancing the quest.

The travel helper stopped because Beryl has more than one Fly marker. I’m resolving the route, then continuing to the picnic.

Beryl’s Fly marker is on the other side of the area. The police station in Jasper has an entrance beside the picnic, so I’m taking that shorter route.

The direct crossings are blocked by the terrain, so I’m following the open bridge route into western Beryl. The team preparation is finished; this is just the last stretch to the quest.

I’m in Rhodochrine Jungle now. The bridge route is recorded for the return trip, and I’m going to speak with Lumi to start the picnic quest.

Lumi has asked us to collect the picnic’s bubble tea order from The Spyce. I’ll make that pickup, then continue into the new area when we return.

The order is being picked up. I’m also adding Brick Break to Darkrai so it can handle the puzzle’s Dark-type encounters without relying solely on Dark Pulse.

The tea is collected. I’m taking the verified route back to the picnic, then continuing the tree puzzle while finishing the previous recording’s edits.

The return route is working. The team is now level 135, and these puzzle encounters will also train Darkrai’s Special Attack and Speed. The previous recording’s cut review is complete; its final render is running.

The picnic scene is complete and the tree entrance is open. I’m preparing Darkrai’s coverage move before entering; the archive checks passed, and Video 27 is being assembled.

Darkrai has learned Brick Break, and we’re entering the tree. Video 27’s first segment is finalized and verified, with the temporary source files cleaned up.

The apparitions move around, so the first scripted interaction missed its target and stopped safely. I’m adjusting the approach to use their visible positions before continuing.

The first Espeon encounter is underway, with Darkrai at full health. I’ll use the same brief, guarded battle routine for these straightforward puzzle fights and check the balance after each floor.

Floor one is cleared without damage or items, and Darkrai gained its first 32 Special Attack EVs. The second floor’s explanation is complete; one Chingling win will balance it.

The puzzle itself is straightforward; reaching the wandering sprites is taking longer than the battles. I’m adding a small screenshot-based interceptor so it can follow a visible apparition and interact promptly.

The new interceptor reached Chingling in a few seconds, and Darkrai won in one hit. Floor two is balanced; Darkrai is still unharmed and has 64 Special Attack EVs.

We’ve reached the third floor’s story scene. Darkrai’s training is progressing as planned, and I’m grouping the later encounters by team member to cut down on menu switching.

Noel is now accompanying us and can heal the team inside the tree. Magearna is taking the next Dark-type encounter; that should keep Darkrai’s training focused while preserving supplies.

The bright-sprite tracker worked; the dark apparitions needed a different contrast threshold against the gray floor. That adjustment is in place, with opponent checks still stopping the battle script if it reaches the wrong species.

Magearna cleared floor three in one hit, also without damage or items. We’re moving into the multi-encounter floors now; the tracker is handling both bright and dark sprites.

Floor four’s Espeon is down, and Darkrai remains at full health. The route helper also handled the expired Repel; next are Mismagius and Cleffa to finish balancing this floor.

Mismagius is engaged now. Its translucent shape confused the tracker, so I used the visible position to finish the approach. Darkrai has taken no damage so far; Cleffa will complete this floor.

Floor four is clear, with the party still at full health. Darkrai now has 128 Special Attack EVs. Magearna can handle all four encounters on the next floor, so that stretch should move faster.

The fifth floor is moving steadily: Magearna has cleared the first Umbreon and reached the second. I’m also checking the existing Heart Scale routes so we can give Darkrai a better nature once its EV training is finished.

Magearna has cleared both Umbreon and Florges; only Flabébé remains on this floor. I found an unclaimed Heart Scale in Citrine Mountain, on the route to the next quest, which should cover Darkrai’s nature change.

Floor five is complete. A root is blocking the direct approach to Zweilous on floor six, so I’m taking the short route around it; the party is still healthy and no battle items have been needed.

The tracker can’t reliably navigate around this floor’s larger roots. I’m switching back to the map route for the approach, then using the screenshot tracker only for the final few steps.

Adding a short pause between movement steps fixed the route’s missed turns. I’m keeping that adjustment for this map so the remaining floors spend less time correcting navigation.

Zweilous has been the slow part here because it keeps moving around roots and Noel. I’ve reached Noel’s menu, so I’m using his free heal to restore PP before finishing the encounter.

Zweilous is finally engaged. Noel’s heal restored the team’s PP, and Magearna has the favorable matchup. After this win, the remaining floor-six encounters are Granbull and two Espeon.

Zweilous and Granbull are both defeated, and Darkrai is working through the two Espeon. I’m improving the tracker by subtracting the map background, which should prevent roots from being mistaken for dark Pokémon.

Floor six is clear. Darkrai has 192 Special Attack EVs, and the team remains at full health. I’m splitting the recording at this floor transition, then continuing while the completed segment renders.

Kadabra is defeated, bringing Darkrai to 224 Special Attack EVs. Only two encounters remain on this floor. The previous recording has rendered, and I’m reviewing its cuts while play continues.

The seventh floor is clear. I’m finishing Darkrai’s training through the remaining puzzle encounters while reviewing the previous recording’s cuts.

Granbull’s moving around a root that the tracking script can’t cross directly. I’m correcting the approach, then continuing the training sequence. The recording review so far shows clean joins and the coordinate popups removed.

Granbull is down, and Darkrai’s Special Attack training is complete. I’m switching its training item to Speed next. I also found one coordinate popup that survived the first video edit and am removing it before publication.

The eighth floor is clear. Darkrai now has maximum Special Attack EVs and its first Speed gain; the final floor should finish Speed training. Neither encounter needed a battle item.

Misdreavus, Chimecho, and the first Deino are down on the final floor. Darkrai is still at full health. Video 27 is now verified and published through recording 332, and its consumed source files have been cleaned up.

Darkrai has cleared all three Deino without taking damage. The remaining three apparitions are wandering behind roots, so I’m adjusting the approach routes. I’m also checking the Citrine route for the next quest and a Heart Scale to improve Darkrai’s nature.

Vullaby is engaged now. Its battle is straightforward; reaching it through the roots caused the delay. Two more encounters will complete this floor, after which I’ll save the finished training and advance the tree’s story scene.

The tree puzzle is cleared, and Darkrai now has 252 Special Attack and 252 Speed EVs. I’m advancing the summit scene, then healing and preparing for Citrine Mountain.

Heather has brought us back from the summit. The story now points toward Zygarde and the remaining anomalies. Darkrai’s training is complete; I’m finishing this scene before the healing and Heart Scale trip.

The current psychologist charges two Heart Scales, and we already have both. The earlier note saying three was wrong, so I can make Darkrai Timid without the extra pickup detour.

The party is healed, and Swampert is back with us for mountain travel. I’m on the way to change Darkrai’s nature, then I’ll continue the Citrine anomaly quest. The Rhodochrine progress and recording 332 archive are backed up and pushed.

Darkrai’s training and Timid nature change are complete. I’m heading back toward Citrine Mountain to advance the Deoxys anomaly, with Swampert carrying the travel moves.

Darkrai now has 515 Speed and 486 Special Attack, with both training targets maxed. I’m checking the mountain entrances so we can reach the anomaly without an unnecessary cave detour.

The nature change cost exactly the two Heart Scales we had, so no item hunt was needed. I’m also preparing the next recording split while the return trip runs.

The Beryl Bridge entrance leads straight to Citrine Mountain’s second floor. That avoids the lower mountain route; I’m taking it now, then working upward to Ciel and the meteor sites.

We’re inside Citrine Mountain. The river approach needs Rock Climb as well as Surf and Waterfall, so I’m temporarily swapping Swampert’s Rock Smash for Rock Climb while keeping Earthquake.

Swampert has learned Rock Climb. The previous recording is rendered, and I’m checking its cuts while we travel through the cave.

The climb is complete, and Swampert is taking us up the river. The recording review found no leftover coordinate popups; the tree rescue and Darkrai’s training are retained.

All three waterfalls are behind us. We’ve reached Citrine Mountain’s third floor, and the completed tree footage has been added to Video 27.

Ciel and Samson are at the summit. I’m preparing Magearna for the anomaly’s Starlight field: Flash Cannon gains a boost here and gives us a better answer to Clefable’s Unaware ability.

Magearna already has Flash Cannon equipped, so no move change was needed. I’m activating the four meteor sites, then saving a battle-ready checkpoint before the anomaly.

Three meteor sites are active; the fourth is next. Magearna will lead against Deoxys’s support form, using the opening to build Calm Mind before the attackers arrive.

All four meteors are active, and the team is fully healed. I’m starting Anomaly Deoxys now; its winning attempt will go into the postgame major-fights collection, followed by the capture attempt.

Deoxys switched to Metagross after two Calm Minds, cutting the setup short. Magearna is still at full health; I’m using Trick Room to let it attack before Metagross.

Metagross knocked Magearna out before Trick Room could go up. I’m bringing in Mawile to lower its Attack with Intimidate, then using Mega Evolution and Sucker Punch.

Darkrai finished Metagross, and Clefable is coming in. I’m using Volcanion’s Fairy resistance to revive Magearna, which has our strongest attack for this matchup.

Clefable has stacked Cosmic Power, so this is becoming a recovery battle. Magearna is immune to Toxic; I’m pressing with Flash Cannon and watching its remaining PP and health.

I’m resetting this attempt. Clefable’s defensive boosts and recovery are consuming too many turns. On the retry, Darkrai will lead, and I’ll keep Magearna healthy for Clefable’s first turn.

The retry plan is Nasty Plot, then Brick Break to remove Light Screen as Metagross switches in. That should give Darkrai enough damage to finish Metagross without exposing Magearna.

Deoxys changed its response to the new lead and sent Clefable out immediately. Magearna came in on Moonblast before any Cosmic Power boosts, giving us the clean opening we wanted.

Clefable is down on the second attempt. I’m bringing Volcanion into Metagross, keeping Mawile and Zapdos available for the Deoxys capture immediately after the battle.

Volcanion took Metagross below half health, and Zen Headbutt missed. A second Steam Eruption should finish it if Volcanion survives the next hit.

Metagross is defeated. Darkrai’s boosted Z-move landed a critical hit and knocked out Magearna; Mawile can now come in safely and threaten it with Play Rough.

Darkrai switched out to Genesect, which took a heavy hit from Mawile on entry. I’m following with priority Sucker Punch while keeping our faster Darkrai ready to finish it if needed.

Genesect went down to Life Orb recoil after knocking out Mawile. Darkrai is back on the field; once it’s dealt with, the defensive Deoxys forms should give us an opportunity to restore the capture team.

The Darkrai matchup came down to turn order: ours survived the first hit, but the opponent moved first on the next turn. Its health is now very low, so Swampert is coming in to finish it.

Darkrai is defeated, and Deoxys’s support form has returned. Its moves are screens and entry hazards, so this is our opening to revive the key team members before facing its final form.

I’m using this opening to restore Darkrai and Mawile. Darkrai can then boost against the support form and carry that setup into the final Deoxys; Mawile will handle False Swipe for the capture.

I misidentified the incoming form: its Cosmic Power confirms this is Defense Deoxys. I’m keeping Volcanion in to resist Flash Cannon while we create a safer opening for Darkrai.

Volcanion is holding up well: Flash Cannon is doing about a fifth of its health, and Protect is absorbing some turns. I’ve put those turns on a bounded script with HP checks so they don’t need separate manual decisions.

The Protect sequence kept Volcanion safe without needing another heal. I’m now using a short Flamethrower sequence with the same HP guard to draw out the remaining Flash Cannons.

Flash Cannon has also lowered Volcanion’s Special Defense, so the hits are getting stronger. The HP guard is responding with healing; this defensive opponent is the main remaining obstacle in the fight.

Flamethrower burned Deoxys, which is adding steady damage. I’ve stopped the attack loop to account for Volcanion’s lowered defenses before taking another hit.

The installed trainer rules explain the longer exchange: these high-level opponents have maximum move PP. Volcanion’s Special Defense is restored now, bringing Flash Cannon back to roughly 100 damage per hit.

I’m healing Darkrai before the switch. Deoxys is burned, and once its attacking move is exhausted, Darkrai can set up without taking damage and break through its defense boosts.

Deoxys has switched to Nasty Plot and Recover after the full Flash Cannon sequence. Darkrai is coming in at full health to set up and finish this form.

Darkrai reached maximum Special Attack without losing any health. It’s now attacking; the remaining task is to break through Defense Deoxys and then the support form.

Anomaly Deoxys is defeated on attempt two. Darkrai finished both remaining forms, and I’m separating the boss victory from the immediate wild encounter before attempting the capture.

The wild level-125 Deoxys is now on screen. I’m using Thunder Wave and False Swipe so we can keep it available for future team building.

Deoxys is paralyzed, and Zapdos is still unharmed. Mawile has been healed and is taking over to lower it safely to one HP.

Mawile has finished setting up, but Deoxys’s attacks took more health than expected. I’m healing before False Swipe, then using a bounded Timer Ball queue with automatic HP checks.

Deoxys is at one HP and paralyzed. I’ve added a small capture helper improvement: if it uses Recover, the queue reapplies False Swipe before throwing another ball, while still checking Mawile’s health each turn.

The capture queue has used three Timer Balls so far. Deoxys remains paralyzed at one HP; Mawile is getting a heal before the next attempt.

Deoxys is caught. I’m saving the completed quest, then closing this recording segment and processing the journey and boss edits while preparing the next route.

The save confirms Deoxys is secured, and the recording is rendering in the background. I’m heading back to heal and checking the next anomaly’s roster before choosing the team.

The capture and save are verified. I’m taking the short route out of Citrine Mountain and replenishing the team; the next quest involves the Belrose sisters at Mirage Tower, with Ho-Oh and Lugia encounters ahead.

I’m back at the Grand Hall. The recording review shows the long pauses have been removed while preserving both attempts, the victory, and the capture. I’m finishing the remaining edit checks before publishing it.

The team is healed. Before the next boss, I’m checking coverage and support options against the actual field effects—especially recovery and stat control, which would have shortened the Deoxys fight.

Toxic is available in the nearby Railnet, so I’m picking it up before leaving town. It will give the bulky team members a much faster answer to opponents that stack defenses and use Recover.

I’m resuming from Opal Ward, finishing the Deoxys recording and picking up Toxic before heading toward the Mirage Tower quests.

Deoxys’s victory clip has passed the visual check, including the team panel and ending. I’m checking the restored Railnet’s entrance before taking the team onward; the older map’s Toxic location may no longer be reachable.

Toxic’s postgame pickup requires funding the Railnet reconstruction first, so I’m deferring that detour and moving on to Mirage Tower. The upcoming Ho-Oh and Lugia teams are mapped out; Magearna and Darkrai have useful matchups against their special fields. Toxic location

The Scrapyard teleporter gives us a direct route into Mirage Tower. I’m starting Laura’s rescue quest there while the Deoxys compilation finishes publishing.

Laura has confirmed that the sisters split up inside the tower. The earlier mirror puzzles remain solved, so I’m following the existing upper route and checking the new anomaly entrances before committing to either boss.

Deoxys is now published as the 62nd postgame major fight, and its full journey segment is verified. I’m clearing the consumed recording sources and syncing the current save while the navigation queue takes us through the solved tower rooms.

The current save and both Deoxys video outputs are synced to the handoff archive. We’re progressing through the tower’s upper passages now; the old staircase route is already documented, which should save time on this revisit.

The new section uses linked mirror-block puzzles. I’m adapting the existing solver so it can plan the pushes ahead of time, then verify the blocks through the game’s visible state as it executes.

The first new mirror puzzle has a verified 20-push solution. I’m also solving the next room in advance so we can keep moving once Charlotte’s dialogue finishes.

We’ve reached Charlotte’s section. Both opening puzzles now have planned solutions; the second requires switching between the two movable blocks. I’m starting the first sequence with checks after each push.

The first pushes match the solver’s predictions, and the game is advancing normally. I’ve also solved the third room, including its two-block interaction, so the next few puzzles can run as bounded queues.

The pixel check caught a blocked push before the queue could continue. The solver had treated invisible puzzle boundaries as walkable for blocks; I’ve corrected that rule and replanned from the actual saved positions. No reset is needed.

The corrected first puzzle is nearly complete. For Ho-Oh, I’m planning around Magearna’s boosted defenses and attacks, with Speed support so it can act before Ho-Oh; I’m checking the field’s shatter damage before relying on that finish.

The first room is solved and saved, and the second room’s queue is underway. I’m keeping Ho-Oh and Lugia as planned catches: both could strengthen our defensive rotation for the later postgame fights.

The second puzzle is progressing cleanly. Ho-Oh’s field can damage both active Pokémon when it shatters, so I’ve adjusted the plan to protect Magearna’s physical defense before attacking; that should reduce the need for emergency healing.

There are two short optional rooms after the main puzzles that award Latiasite and Latiosite. I’m planning to collect those too: we already own Latias with Calm Mind and Recover, so its Mega form would give us another useful durable setup option.

The second room is solved and saved. I’m rotating the recording at this pause, then continuing with the third puzzle while the closed footage is processed in the background.

We’re in the third room now. The previous recording has been reduced from about 50 minutes to five minutes of active play, with the coordinate popups removed; I’m reviewing those cuts while the puzzle queue continues.

The third mirror puzzle is solved. I’m continuing through the remaining rooms for the Mega Stones, then preparing Magearna to lead against Ho-Oh.

The fourth room is nearly complete. The video review is also done; I’m rendering the final idle cuts while the game continues.

Solganium-Z is collected, and the last puzzle is underway. Video 27 is now finalized through the previous recording, with the existing footage verified unchanged and the consumed raw files cleaned up.

The final puzzle has more linked-block moves, so the script is checking each push against the visible board. Ho-Oh’s battle plan is ready: build Calm Mind with Magearna against Articuno, then use Flash Cannon to bypass the Mirror Field’s evasion effects.

Only a few pushes remain in the last room. The team is still fully healed, so once the stones are collected we can head straight to Ho-Oh.

The final push is in progress. After collecting Latiasite and Latiosite, I’ll save the checkpoint and head upstairs for the anomaly battle.

Both Mega Stones are secured and saved. We’re heading to Ho-Oh now, with Magearna taking the lead and the rest of the team ready for backup and capture.

Ho-Oh switched Articuno out for Celesteela during setup. I’m bringing in Volcanion to remove its Leech Seed threat before committing Magearna to a sweep.

Celesteela is recovering too much behind Aurora Veil for Volcanion to finish it efficiently. Zapdos is taking over as the veil expires; its Electric attack gives us another way through without healing repeatedly.

Celesteela is down. Shaymin is next, so Magearna is coming back in; I’ll reinforce its Special Defense before facing Shaymin’s Earth Power.

Shaymin’s Earth Power is hitting harder as Magearna’s Special Defense drops. I’m using a full heal and speed boosts to take control of the turn order, then finishing it before it can keep wearing us down.

The public stat screen confirms Shaymin has knocked Magearna’s Special Defense back down despite the boosts. I’m stabilizing that first. For later fights, the newly unlocked Mega Latias will give us a Ground-immune Calm Mind user with recovery—a better fit for this kind of matchup.

This attempt is turning into the item-heavy battle we wanted to avoid. I’m resetting to the saved checkpoint and preparing Mega Latias before retrying. Its Ground immunity, Calm Mind, and Recover directly address the matchup that stalled us here; this attempt will remain in the journey and attempt count.

Latias is already trained in HP and Defense from an earlier session, so the rebuild is smaller than expected. I’ll equip Latiasite, bring it to the current cap with a couple of quick training rounds, and retry with recovery-based setup.

Latias now holds its Mega Stone. I’ll replace Dragon Claw with Surf, finish its leveling, and keep Magearna as the opening attacker against Articuno. Mega Latias will handle the longer exchanges with recovery instead of bag items.

The training battles are complete. I’m finishing Latias and Swampert’s levels, then returning for Ho-Oh with a stronger recovery-based team. The previous recording is also being checked before it joins the archive.

Latias’s Surf is ready, and both underleveled team members have received their training candy. I’m checking the healed level-135 party before the return trip; the tower puzzles remain solved.

The full party is now level 135 and healed. Latias’s verified Speed is just above Ho-Oh’s, which should let it recover before taking another hit. I’m heading back through the cleared tower while the recording’s final export finishes.

The previous recording is published and verified, including the unsuccessful Ho-Oh attempt and the full puzzle progress. The retry will open with Flash Cannon immediately; Mega Latias is reserved for the matchups where Recover and its Ground immunity help most.

We’re back in the tower’s upper section. The preparation is complete, and the archive is caught up through the first Ho-Oh attempt; I’m proceeding to the rematch now.

The rematch has started with the updated team. I’m using short battle scripts with health and matchup checks so routine turns move quickly and stop when the opponent changes.

Articuno and Celesteela are down, with no bag items used. Mega Latias is taking over against Shaymin; its recovery and special-defense boosts should give us a much steadier middle of the fight.

Shaymin’s field-boosted Dazzling Gleam hit much harder than I planned, so I pulled Latias out immediately. Ho-Oh has now switched in; I’m restoring Latias once from the bench before using it for the Fire/Ground matchup it was prepared for.

Ho-Oh’s Earthquake broke the mirror field and activated a major stat boost; that overturned the recovery plan, and Latias went down. I’m resetting this attempt. The next run will keep Latias healthy for Ho-Oh and attack Shaymin directly instead of trying to set up against it.

The third attempt has cleared Articuno without damage. I’ve also corrected the health guard after the field change: Latias cannot safely use Recover from low health once Ho-Oh gains Speed. For this run, I’m avoiding that field change altogether.

Shaymin is down. This time Latias enters against Ho-Oh at full health, and the mirror field is intact—the position we needed for the recovery plan.

Latias has reached maximum Calm Mind boosts and is sustaining itself with Recover. Ho-Oh is still on the mirror field, and this attempt has used no bag items. I’m switching from setup to Surf now.

Ho-Oh is down. I’m bringing Magearna back for the remaining Dragon-types, using one Full Restore to repair the damage it took defeating Shaymin.

Magearna has matched the opposing Latias’s setup while staying healthy. It’s now ready to finish both remaining Dragons with Dazzling Gleam. After the boss battle, I’ll catch Ho-Oh before moving on.

Anomaly Ho-Oh is defeated on attempt three. The winning fight used one Full Restore; Latias handled Ho-Oh with Calm Mind, Recover, and Surf. I’m closing the boss-video boundary and moving straight into the capture.

Ho-Oh is paralyzed and at 1 HP. The capture is underway with Timer Balls; its future attacks are the main thing I’m watching while keeping the catcher healthy.

Ho-Oh is caught and stored safely. Switching Darkrai in after False Swipe gave us immunity to Future Sight, and the next Timer Ball caught it. I’m taking Charlotte’s return route, saving the milestone, and preparing the Lugia side of the quest.

Ho-Oh is caught and saved. I’m resuming the route toward Lugia while finishing the Ho-Oh recording and its major-fight entry.

The lower tower entrance requires breaking eighteen glass panels. I verified that their damage cannot knock out the party; I’ll clear them in a guarded queue, then heal before proceeding toward Lugia.

The glass-clearing queue is working, and the Ho-Oh save and capture evidence are now backed up and pushed. The recording review preserves both the failed retry and the eventual win; only stationary holds are being trimmed.

Ho-Oh’s full journey has been published with the earlier video prefix verified unchanged. Its major-fight chapter records three attempts and one Full Restore in the winning battle. I’m checking that chapter’s panel and battle boundaries while opening the basement route.

The basement opening is unlocked and saved. All eighteen panels are cleared; the party is at 1 HP as expected, so I’m making a Pokémon Center trip and moving Wise Glasses to Darkrai for the Lugia matchup.

The team is fully healed, and Ho-Oh is now included in the verified postgame major-fights compilation. I’m entering the lower tower, where movable ladders in the mirrored cave control the route forward.

We’ve reached Saphira’s section of the lower tower. I’m moving the first mirrored ladder into place and building a route solver for the larger rooms so those puzzles can run as checked action sequences.

The first ladder is in place. I found that the dark floor strips behave as ice, which was causing the walking helper to overshoot; the route planner now accounts for sliding and has checked solutions for the next two rooms.

The first room is cleared, and the second room’s ladder sequence is progressing with saved position checks. I’m also checking Lugia’s field mechanics before committing to the fight—Dark Crystal Cavern gives Ghost and Dark Pokémon extra defenses, so the opening needs to account for that.

I’m resuming in Mirage Tower’s lower puzzle. One ladder moved farther than expected on the ice, so I’ll verify its position and adjust the route before continuing toward Lugia.

The game’s code confirms that the ladders themselves slide on ice. I’m updating the solver to account for that and continue from the current saved position.

The revised solver found a much shorter route through the remaining ice puzzles. The second room is progressing, and I’ve prepared a Darkrai-led plan for Lugia using the Dark Crystal field’s effects.

The new movement model is matching the game: the upper ladder slid exactly to the predicted tile. That removes the main routing issue; I’m continuing through the mirrored rooms and Saphira’s scenes.

The second puzzle room is nearly cleared, with each ladder placement verified by a normal save. I’ll finish the third room, then rotate the recording at a safe pause before the boss.

The second room is cleared, and the third room’s dialogue is complete. Its ladder sequence is now running; I’m checking the final route ahead so we can move straight to Lugia once it finishes.

The third room’s first long slide landed correctly. I also found a direct ladder route in this installed version that may simplify the final approach; I’ll verify it in-game before entering the battle.

The third room’s final long slide is verified. I’m finishing its exit, then saving and rotating the capture before the final approach to Lugia.

All three puzzle rooms are cleared. A fresh recording is running, and the previous segment is rendering for review while I follow Saphira into the final area.

The apparent shortcut is blocked by a ledge. I’m taking the crystal-world route instead; Saphira has cleared the webs, so returning through the rooms is quick. The recording review is progressing alongside navigation.

I’m resuming at the final Mirage Tower puzzle. I’ll finish the route to Lugia while completing the review of the previous recording.

The route planner was still using the room’s earlier web layout. I’m refreshing it from the saved checkpoint so the next movement plan matches the cleared room.

The cleared webs let us return quickly, but the stone reset when we left the tower. I’ve queued a checked route to the side platform; each ladder move is verified by a normal save.

The recording review found only stationary pauses to remove; the puzzle actions and dialogue remain intact. I’m also checking the Surf connection, since the route through this room depends on where the movable ladder is placed.

Session 338 is published in Video 27, with the existing video prefix verified unchanged. The route search has also found the ladder placement that reaches the upper mirror and the path beyond it.

The ladder sequence is progressing normally. I found a navigation issue around Surf and ice: the general route helper treats some shore transitions as jumps. I’m checking those transitions before sending the next movement queue.

The upper platform is reached. The mirror prompt confused the OCR helper, so it stopped safely; I’m resolving that prompt and continuing to the water route.

The missing connection is a short waterfall between two pools. The route is now mapped: cross the upper pool, descend the waterfall, and exit through the crystal-world portal.

The crystal-world portal is reached. I’m crossing the final pool and setting Darkrai as the lead for Lugia; the party is still fully healed.

We’re through the tower and approaching Lugia. Darkrai will use Nasty Plot while the opening Magic Coat is active, then Dark Void to create a safer setup window.

Darkrai survived the opening Dazzling Gleam and gained its first Nasty Plot boost. I’m putting Mismagius to sleep before healing and completing the setup.

Darkrai reached +4 Special Attack at full health using one Full Restore. It’s now sweeping with Dark Pulse; I’ll stop the queue when Lugia comes out to handle Multiscale separately.

Lugia is down after two Dark Pulses. Darkrai still has over half its health, and the queue is continuing against the remaining team.

Lugia’s anomaly team is beaten on the first attempt, using one Full Restore. I’m moving on to the catch: paralysis and False Swipe first, then Darkrai can absorb Future Sight while we throw balls.

Wild Lugia is paralyzed. Mawile is setting up False Swipe, and I’m keeping Darkrai’s sleep move out of the capture sequence so Bad Dreams cannot knock Lugia out at low health.

I’m resuming the Lugia capture, then I’ll save the result and finish its battle recording before moving on to the next quest.

Lugia’s anomaly battle is won, and the wild Lugia is now at minimum health and paralyzed. I’m switching to Darkrai to absorb Future Sight safely while throwing Timer Balls.

The capture queue is running. I also checked the quest history: Deoxys is already complete, so after Lugia I’ll identify the next unfinished quest from the current game state.

Lugia has broken out of the first few balls. Darkrai is still safe, and the queue is healing it as needed. Once this is settled, I’ll restock capture supplies and head toward the remaining tier-seven quests.

The remaining quests include a quieter visit to the Cauldron of the Future, followed by the harder Aegir Cave battles. I’ll use the travel break to improve supplies and review the team before committing to those fights.

Lugia is proving stubborn: the Timer Balls are gone, so I’ve moved to Ultra Balls. It remains paralyzed at minimum health, and Darkrai is holding steady while its Future Sight attacks fail.

The capture is still underway; Darkrai hasn’t needed further healing. I’m preserving the full capture in the journey video, while the major-fights collection will contain only the anomaly victory.

The anomaly win was clean—one Full Restore and no resets—but catching Lugia is taking much longer. I’m continuing the safe ball sequence and watching for exhausted moves so we don’t lose the one-time encounter to Struggle.

I found a useful improvement for future captures: we’ve missed several Catching Charms that raise the capture chance. One is near the next planned destination, so I’ll collect it and bring a dedicated sleep user for later legendary encounters.

Lugia is caught. I’m finishing the capture prompts and Saphira’s return scene, then saving and closing this recording for editing.

Lugia took 39 balls in total, but the capture is secure. The Belrose family scene is wrapping up; I’m now checking the save and matching the recording’s battle music and item count to the completed fight.

The save confirms Lugia in Box 3 and the Belrose quest completed. Recording 339 is rendering while a fresh recording covers travel and preparation; I’m heading out of the tower now.

Lugia is caught and the Belrose quest is complete. I’m finishing the recording edits while returning to town to heal and prepare for the next postgame quest.

The team is healed. Lugia’s boss fight went well, but catching it took 39 balls, so I’m improving our capture setup and replenishing supplies before the next quest.

Amoonguss is already trained to level 135 and knows Spore, so it can join the travel team immediately. I’ve also checked the Lugia footage’s cuts; the final render is running with the battle and capture sequences preserved.

The Lugia recording is ready for the journey archive, and I’m adding its victory to the major-fights collection too. The next destination is Cauldron of the Future; I’ll collect useful capture upgrades along the way.

Amoonguss has replaced Latias for travel, and the supply run is nearly finished. The updated journey video passed its checks; the major-fights compilation is now verifying before publication.

We’re stocked with 20 Timer Balls and 10 Max Repels, with Amoonguss ready for captures. I’m heading to Beryl Library for a Catching Charm before returning to the postgame quests.

Lugia is now published in both archives. The library’s charm is behind a bookshelf puzzle, which I’m solving; I also located the missed Super Rod at the postgame Lost and Found, so we can collect it without retracing the old sidequest.

The library route is blocked by an invisible Kecleon, and we don’t have the Silvon Scope yet. I’m leaving that charm for later and collecting the readily available Super Rod before heading to Teknite Cave.

The Lost and Found also needs the Railnet restoration, so that upgrade isn’t available yet. I’m deferring those detours and moving on to Cauldron of the Future with the stronger capture team and fresh supplies.

The save and finished Lugia archives are backed up and pushed. I’m taking the train to Tourmaline and continuing through Teknite toward the next quest.

We’ve reached the desert, and Swampert now knows Rock Climb for the ascent. I’ve prepared a guarded route through the six cave passages, which should keep the travel moving with fewer pauses.

The route is progressing normally across the desert, and recording is healthy. The climb ahead should lead directly to Adrienn’s quest scene, without a mandatory boss fight.

We’re at Teknite Cave and have saved before the climb. The route through the cave is mapped out; I’m continuing to the ridge now.

The cave route is working: we’ve reached the fourth floor. I’m also reviewing the next major battles so we can make any team changes before entering them.

The ridge boulders have reset since our previous visit. I’ve confirmed their current positions and am using the existing three-push solution to reopen the path.

Strength is ready, and I’m clearing the ridge path. One useful finding for the next battles: Dark Void has only 50% base accuracy outside Lugia’s favorable field, so I’m planning around more dependable support and coverage.

The boulder route is cleared. We’re moving through the last cave passage to the two Rock Climb sections and the New World entrance.

The first climb is complete. I’ve adjusted the route helper for the game’s automatic HM use, and we’re continuing up to Cauldron of the Future.

We’ve entered Cauldron of the Future and reached Adrienn. I’ll finish the scene, save, and reconcile this recording during the pause before preparing for the Aegir battles.

Cauldron of the Future is complete and saved. I’m heading back to heal and prepare for Aegir while finishing the recording review from that trip.

I’m bringing Volcanion back into the team for Aegir. Water Absorb gives us a useful defensive option, while Amoonguss stays available for reliable sleep and captures. The Cauldron footage is clean so far; I’m checking the remaining cuts before publishing it.

The team is healed and Volcanion is in place. I also caught a recording issue during review: an automatic train transition was being treated as idle time. I’ve restored that section and am rerendering it while we travel to the next quest.

The Weather Duo lead takes us through Sugiline Ruin before Aegir. I’m mapping the cave’s transfers and statue puzzle into a reusable route script so we can get through it without slow trial and error.

Video 27 is now published through the Cauldron trip, with the train sequence restored and the previous footage verified unchanged. We’re inside Sugiline Cave, following the scripted route to the two Arceus statue switches.

I’m resuming in Sugiline Cave. I’ll finish the statue puzzle, then prepare for the next Aegir fights; the recording is already running and Video 27 is finalized through the previous session.

The corrected cave route is progressing normally. I’ve also prepared the opening plan for Amaria: Volcanion and Magearna will lead, using Trick Room to turn the opposing team’s speed against it.

The cave’s pit transfers are now mapped, including the ones that immediately drop you back to the entrance. The route helper is handling the walking while I check the upcoming story and battle boundaries.

The western statue switch is pressed. I’m crossing to the eastern switch next, then heading through the ruin toward Aegir.

The save and archive handoff now include the completed Cauldron quest and the first statue switch. Recording health is good, with about 20 GB still free.

One crossing clipped the central pit, so I’ve added a wider approach to the eastern route. The first switch remains saved; this only cost a short detour.

The team is still fully healthy at level 135. I’m keeping Amoonguss available for Spore and Clear Smog, and preserving Magearna’s Trick Room for the upcoming doubles fights.

The wider approach worked, and we’re on the eastern branch now. The cave navigation is proceeding automatically, with checks at each transfer.

We’ve reached the eastern statue. Once its switch is confirmed, the remaining route leads through Sugiline Ruin to the New World portal.

Both statue switches are now confirmed in the save. I’m taking the central passage through the opened gate.

The central passage is clear. I’ll save again before the portal and before each separate boss fight, so a loss won’t require repeating the cave puzzle.

We’re past the unlocked gate and entering the ruin. The next story section is safe to advance before starting either boss fight.

A statue guardian intercepted us in the ruin. I’m handling that battle now, then continuing to the portal.

The guardian went down to one Steam Eruption, with no damage or items used. I’m finishing the victory dialogue and continuing through the ruin.

The statues keep chasing after a victory, so another guardian engaged immediately. Both battles were clean one-hit wins; I’m moving out of their reach before opening menus again.

These are the ruin’s chasing Garchomp statues, all level 75. I’m using a guarded battle script to clear interceptions quickly; it stops if the opponent, lead Pokémon, or battle state changes.

Four guardians are defeated, still without taking damage. The script is clearing each interception in a single turn, and I’m preserving all of them in the journey recording.

Steam Eruption’s PP is exhausted, so I switched to Magearna for the seventh guardian. It won but took damage; I’ll heal and restore PP once we’re clear of the chasing statues.

The first group of eight guardians is cleared. Magearna and Mawile took damage in the last two, so I’m pausing at the next safe point to restore the team before advancing.

This room has several groups of statues. I’m switching Mawile to the lead and healing it now, which gives us a reliable Fairy attack for the remaining Garchomp without needing Steam Eruption.

Mawile’s first Play Rough missed, but the second won the ninth fight. I’m adjusting the pauses between battles so we can heal without letting the next statue reach us.

We’ve reached the upper part of the room, only a short corridor from the exit. I used one Full Restore on Mawile during the latest interception and am clearing the path out.

Eleven guardians are down. I’m checking the remaining corridor against the visible statue positions so the next movement sequence can get us out without another unnecessary stop.

The twelfth guardian is in progress. Once this room is behind us, I’ll use the healing point ahead and reconcile this recording before the Aegir bosses.

The twelfth fight is won. I’m preserving the completed battle logs now, while the game is safely paused on the coordinate display, then making the final run to the exit.

I’m using Swords Dance followed by Sucker Punch for the remaining interceptions. That avoids Play Rough’s accuracy risk and lets Mawile finish Garchomp before taking a second hit.

The Swords Dance–Sucker Punch sequence worked twice without misses. Fourteen guardians are defeated; I’m continuing with that sequence while working past the last statues blocking this corridor.

We’re out of the chasing room. Fourteen guardians were defeated, and the final movement sequence cleared the remaining statues. I’m heading straight to the healing shard to restore the whole party and its PP.

The healing shard is reached, and I’m restoring the planned lead order and giving Volcanion Charcoal. I’m also picking up the nearby Stone Edge TM before moving through the portal.

The party is fully healed with full PP, and Volcanion is holding Charcoal. I’ve started a fresh recording at this checkpoint and am continuing through the portal while the previous segment is prepared for editing.

Florinia has joined us in the New World passage. The portal approach needs another route check, so I’m inspecting the visible terrain before continuing.

The portal sits across a central lake, so I’m taking the spiral path to the water and using Surf. The previous recording’s initial edit is complete; I’m checking its cuts and battle transitions.

We’ve arrived in Aegir. I’m finishing Julia and Florinia’s briefing, then saving immediately before Amaria’s fight. The cave segment is rendering with all fourteen guardian victories retained.

I’m picking up at Amaria’s postgame fight. I’ll verify the saved position, continue with the prepared team, and finish checking the previous recording’s cuts alongside play.

The briefing is complete. The route script stopped at a waterfall, so I’m crossing that manually before starting Amaria. The team is fully healed, with Trick Room ready for the doubles fight.

I found an edit that cut through part of the train arrival in the previous recording. I’ll restore that sequence; the other navigation cuts checked so far remove only pauses and coordinate popups.

This waterfall requires the Waterfall move even when descending. I’m teaching it to Swampert, then heading straight to Amaria’s island. The previous recording’s train sequence is now restored in the edit plan.

Amaria’s fight has started. Tapu Bulu has changed the field to grass; I’m using Volcanion’s fire attack on Celesteela while Magearna sets Trick Room, then reassessing after the first turn.

Amaria’s opening hit both leads harder than expected. I’m using this turn to heal Magearna and raise its special defense, which should help it survive Celesteela’s Flamethrower and the later special attackers.

Tapu Bulu is down, but Celesteela woke immediately and knocked out Magearna. Amoonguss and Zapdos are taking over: sleep will help control Volcarona while Zapdos attacks Celesteela. The previous recording has passed its visual checks and is being added to Video 27.

This attempt is no longer promising, so I’m resetting to the save before Amaria. I’ll change the team before retrying: Celesteela’s fire damage and the opening special-defense boosts made the planned Magearna setup too fragile.

I’m preparing a sturdier team for the retry and checking how to leave Aegir for the PC and move reminder. Video 27 is now published through the Sugiline guardians, and its verified source files have been cleaned up.

Latias is the most useful change here: it is already trained to level 135, resists Celesteela’s attacks, and can use Surf to heal Volcanion through Water Absorb. I’m bringing it back into the team and will use it in the opening pair.

I’m resuming from the Grand Hall save with Latias ready for the Amaria rematch. I’ll check the recording and team, then head back to Aegir Cave.

The first attempt showed why the opening was rough: both enemies gained Special Defense before Tapu Bulu changed the field, and Celesteela put too much pressure on Magearna. This time I’ll lead with Latias and focus both attacks on Tapu Bulu.

The team is reordered, and I’m taking the train back toward Sugiline. The remaining ruins may still have a few pursuing guardians; I’ll watch for those on the way and make a fresh save outside Amaria’s fight.

I’ve reached the Sugiline entrance with the full team healthy. The train sequence is also marked for retention so the idle-time edit won’t accidentally cut its automatic travel animation.

The shortcut through the opened cave gates worked. I’m at the final statue room now; beyond it, the route back to Amaria is already mapped.

One remaining guardian caught us in the statue room. Volcanion defeated it in one hit without taking damage; I’m continuing toward the exit.

We’re through the guardians and back in the New World passage. For the rematch, I’ll protect Volcanion on the first turn while Latias boosts its Defense, then focus Tapu Bulu. That should let Volcanion withstand the opening physical hit and leave Latias free to heal or attack afterward.

The return route hit a small pathfinding snag at Aegir’s stepping-stone channels. The game allows surfing straight through them, but our planner treated them as walking jumps. I’ve crossed the channel with normal controls and am descending to the battle island now.

The fresh save is verified, and Amaria attempt two is starting with Volcanion and Latias. I also checked the item mechanics: Volcanion must use X Defend on itself, so Latias will attack Tapu Bulu during that turn.

The defensive opening worked: Volcanion survived comfortably, and Mega Latias is still at full health. I’m healing Volcanion while it attacks Tapu Bulu, keeping both leads available for the rest of Amaria’s team.

Tapu Bulu is down, and all six of our Pokémon are still available. Volcarona has used Quiver Dance, so I’m bringing Zapdos in for Latias to handle its Bug attacks while Volcanion keeps attacking.

Volcarona is down, though its final Heat Wave knocked out Zapdos. Amaria has brought out Palkia; I’m switching Magearna into Latias’s place to cover its Dragon attack and protecting Volcanion this turn.

Palkia’s Thunder was blocked. I’m now using Swampert’s Electric immunity to cover Volcanion’s withdrawal while Magearna builds Special Defense. Celesteela’s Leech Seed is keeping it healthy, so I need a stronger attacker established before trying to finish it.

Palkia and Celesteela are still putting out heavy damage. Swampert is down, but its loss boosted Magearna’s Special Attack. I’m stabilizing Magearna’s defenses and HP so it can take over the fight.

Magearna now has maximum Special Defense, and Palkia’s Surf is healing Volcanion while damaging Celesteela. That gives us a much better position. I’m focusing both attacks on Celesteela now.

Celesteela is gone. Volcanion was then knocked out by Amaria’s Volcanion, which gave Magearna another Soul-Heart boost. Magearna is ready to attack Palkia now; Mawile is coming in to support it, with Latias still in reserve.

Palkia is down. Amaria has only Primal Kyogre and Volcanion left, and Magearna has reached its maximum Special Attack boost. I’m restoring a backup Pokémon and healing Magearna before pushing through the last pair.

Primal Kyogre’s rain-boosted attacks are hitting hard, and Magearna is now burned as well as seeded. I’m keeping it alive while rebuilding a second active Pokémon; Zapdos would help break this last pair if I can bring it back in safely.

This attempt has reached a poor position: Magearna is alone against both remaining Pokémon, and their damage is outpacing healing. I’m resetting and preparing a more suitable doubles team—especially Wide Guard for Surf and Origin Pulse—rather than spending the rest of the bag trying to recover this one.

Both attempts are preserved, and I’m back at the Grand Hall. Mienshao is already level 130 with Wide Guard and Fake Out, so preparing it should be quick. I also found a control issue: opening the game’s inspection screen cancels queued doubles actions. I’ve guarded our helper against using it after an action has been selected.

Mienshao and Meowstic are now in the party. Mienshao will provide Fake Out, Wide Guard, and a fast Flying attack; Meowstic already has Light Screen and Safeguard. The previous recording is rendering while I finish their preparation.

Mienshao is now level 135 and knows Acrobatics. Its older defensive EV spread leaves it too slow for Tapu Bulu, so I’m earning money from the nearby repeatable trainer for an EV Tuner. That will let me move its Defense training into Speed without rebuilding it from scratch.

I’m resuming the team preparation and recording review, then returning to Amaria with better protection against her final pair.

The first training win was clean, but its cash reward is smaller than expected. I’m checking the free EV Tuner locations while the repeatable battle script runs. The recording review has confirmed that the current cuts remove waiting and coordinate checks while preserving both Amaria attempts.

Mienshao’s new moves are ready. I’m using the guarded training loop to fund the Speed adjustment and replenish supplies; Magearna is clearing these fights without healing items. I’ve also finished the extra idle cuts for the previous recording and am checking the final joins before adding it to Video 27.

Video 27 now includes the previous session, and the existing footage was preserved byte-for-byte. For the next attempt, Misty Terrain is a useful additional option: it can replace Amaria’s Water Surface field, reducing the boosted Water damage that overwhelmed us last time.

Six training wins have brought us to $17,078 and 75 XL candies. The remaining rounds are running automatically, with a stop on any unexpected battle state. The candies will also cover future team rotations, so this preparation should pay off beyond Amaria.

The matchup plan is now ready. Mienshao will block spread attacks with Wide Guard, and Meowstic will give Magearna Light Screen and Misty Terrain. The installed mechanics confirm that Misty Terrain also boosts Magearna’s Special Defense and lets Soul-Heart raise it further after each knockout.

Eleven wins have raised the funds to $26,708. The training loop is still completing cleanly. I’ve prepared the shopping and EV-adjustment script so we can move straight to resupply once the target is reached.

The funds are now $28,634. I’m also checking the approach to the next fight: Reborn’s starting field can depend on whether we’re standing on land or Surfing, so the exact interaction tile may matter.

Fourteen wins have brought us to $32,486. The field check confirmed that Amaria forces Water Surface regardless of our approach tile; Misty Terrain is the way to change it during battle. I’ve also prepared Titania’s follow-up plan around Trick Room and Wide Guard.

I’m picking up the training run and checking the recording state. The next step is the planned Speed adjustment for Mienshao, then another Amaria attempt with Misty Terrain and Wide Guard support.

The training loop is still running normally and is nearly at the purchase target. The previous recording is fully archived. I’m also tightening the doubles helper so reviewed item-and-move turns can run with fewer pauses.

Nineteen training wins are banked; two more should cover the EV Tuners and travel supplies. Recording health is clean. Mienshao’s Speed change should let it act before Tapu Bulu, while the extended Misty Terrain will give Magearna more room to set up.

The twentieth win brought us to $44,042. One final round will finish funding; then I’ll rotate the recording at that pause and apply the team changes.

The last training battle is won. I’m letting the save finish, then moving straight into shopping and the EV adjustment.

Funding is complete at $45,968, with 255 Exp. Candies XL saved for future team training. Recording 344 is verified and shopping is underway; recording 343 is being edited in parallel.

The supplies are bought, and we’re heading to Peridot for the EV Tuners. The training footage review shows clean battle coverage; I’m trimming only the remaining menu and overworld waits.

The five EV Tuners are purchased. I’m applying the Defense-to-Speed swap to Mienshao and giving Meowstic the Amplifield Rock, then verifying the saved stats before returning to Aegir Cave.

Mienshao’s EV swap and Meowstic’s held-item change are done. Video 27 now includes the verified training footage through recording 343. I’m checking the final party save, then taking the train back toward Amaria.

The saved check confirms Mienshao at 374 Speed, above Tapu Bulu’s 334. All six are healthy. The current save and archive records are synchronized; we’re en route to the station.

We’re aboard the train back to Tourmaline. The revised team is saved and pushed to the private handoff repository, and the training recording has been published and cleaned up.

We’ve reached the desert and are following the established route through Sugiline. The preparation is complete; the next fight will test whether the faster opening and terrain support solve the last attempt’s problems.

We’re through the desert crossing and into Sugiline. I’ll clear any statue encounter on the approach, save at Amaria, and start the retry with Volcanion and Mienshao.

The route is clear this time, with no statue battle needed. We’re entering the Aegir portal and approaching Amaria’s platform.

We’re at the waterfall beside Amaria’s platform. The retry will open with Fake Out and Flamethrower, then use Mienshao’s newly gained Speed to remove Tapu Bulu before it attacks.

Amaria attempt three has started. The entry team and held items are verified; I’m executing the opening turn now.

Tapu Bulu is down, but Celesteela knocked out Mienshao before it could provide Wide Guard. I’m bringing in Meowstic for Light Screen and will revive Mienshao for the later Water attacks.

Amaria sent in Volcanion earlier than in the previous attempt, and Heat Wave ignited the grassy field. Light Screen is up, but Meowstic took heavy damage. I’m healing it and replacing the field with Misty Terrain immediately.

Misty Terrain is active. Meowstic survived long enough to establish both supports, and I’m switching Magearna into that protection while Volcanion pressures Celesteela.

Magearna is now set up behind Misty Terrain, and Celesteela is weakened and burned. I’m adding special bulk before Light Screen expires, then aiming to turn the knockouts into Soul-Heart boosts.

Celesteela is down, and Kyogre has entered. Magearna gained both offensive and defensive Soul-Heart boosts from the knockout. I’m healing it and setting Trick Room so it can attack before Kyogre.

Kyogre knocked out Volcanion, but Magearna is still healthy and gained another Soul-Heart boost. I’m bringing in Zapdos and reviving Mienshao while Magearna keeps attacking under Trick Room.

Mienshao is revived and can enter immediately after Zapdos’s knockout. Magearna is at +4 Special Attack with strong special bulk; Wide Guard can now cover the next Dazzling Gleam.

Kyogre is down. Only Volcarona and Palkia remain, and Magearna has reached maximum Special Attack. I’m using the last Trick Room turn to attack Palkia while restoring Magearna’s HP.

Palkia is down; Volcarona is the last opponent. Meowstic can refresh Misty Terrain with priority, giving Magearna another boost to Dazzling Gleam.

Volcarona is sustaining itself with Giga Drain, so I revived Volcanion to finish it. Magearna remains at 418 HP with maximum boosts and Misty Terrain active.

Amaria is beaten on attempt three, in 15 turns. Misty Terrain and Trick Room made the difference. I’m saving the victory and checking the healing options before Titania.

The nearby Light Shard has fully healed the party. The winning Amaria attempt used eight bag items total. For Titania, I’m adjusting the plan to boost Magearna’s Speed directly, which avoids Togekiss repeatedly flinching Trick Room and lets Magearna move before Marshadow.

Titania attempt one is starting with Meowstic and Magearna. Recording 344 is closed for editing, and the new capture is verified. I’m keeping the Amaria victory’s exact entry roster and eight-item total for the major-fights archive.

Misty Terrain and Light Screen are established against Titania. Meowstic took the opening hits, so I healed it before adding Magearna’s second Speed boost.

Magearna now has both Speed boosts and is healthy at 363 HP. Meowstic went down after setting the supports; Mienshao will cover Diamond Storm with Wide Guard while Magearna targets Diancie.

Diancie and Marshadow are down. Magearna moved before Marshadow as planned, so its boosts are intact. Mienshao fell to Togekiss; I’m bringing in Zapdos and preparing to restore Wide Guard before Groudon.

Groudon arrived earlier than expected. Magearna survived Precipice Blades after a Defense boost; I’m adding one more boost and healing it so we can attack safely without waiting for a Wide Guard switch.

The battle is waiting for a replacement after Zapdos fainted. I’m bringing Mienshao back in for Wide Guard so Magearna can heal and resume attacking.

Togekiss is down. Magearna is now fully powered up, and I’m using single-target attacks to get past Regigigas’s Wide Guard while keeping Magearna healed.

Regigigas is down too; only Groudon and Dialga remain. I’m also checking the previous recording’s cuts during the battle animations so the video work stays caught up.

Titania is beaten on the first attempt, in 11 turns. I’m saving this win, then following the next quest lead while the Amaria recording finishes rendering.

Florinia’s next objective is Rayquaza, which becomes available later. I’m finishing this scene, healing the team, and checking which remaining level-135 quest unlocks the next tier.

The win is saved, and the team is getting healed in Peridot. Video 27 now includes the Amaria win; its separate major-fight chapter is being verified before I remove the finished source footage.

Smeargle’s quest was already accepted, so I can head straight to Apophyll Cave. That route leads to the Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem sequence; I’ll check the linked battles before entering them.

The Helix route has a long puzzle followed by two consecutive battles. We’re low on Repels and Speed boosts, so I’m making a supply stop before committing to it.

I’m recovering the current game and recording state, then I’ll continue the Helix route and finish archiving the recent battles.

The restock is complete. Titania is beaten, the team is fully healed, and both recent victories are preserved. I’m rotating the recording at this pause before tackling Helix’s two-character puzzle.

We’re heading back into Apophyll Cave. The next route uses Taka and Aster to change weather and open paths for each other; I’m preparing guarded action queues so the puzzle doesn’t become a long series of single-step inputs.

The Titania recording review is clean, including the complete victory and aftermath. I’ve also pushed the current save and handoff notes. Helix’s opening route is now running while the edited footage renders.

Taka has joined us, and Helix’s opening scene is underway. Video 27 now includes Titania’s full segment; I’m finishing her separate major-fight chapter as we continue.

The character switch works, and I’m now opening the first set of paths. The helper records each completed interaction and checks our actual position after switching characters, so it stops if the puzzle behaves differently from the route plan.

The first orb and crystal are activated. I’ve checked both upcoming enemy teams: this is a two-battle chain with a full heal between rounds, and the second round includes Heart Swap Magearna. I’m planning around that before committing to the fights.

The first weather gate is working: Aster crossed the snowdrift, and Taka is heading to the next frozen orb. Titania’s major-fight chapter has also passed decoding and prefix checks; its source footage has been cleaned up safely.

Two orbs are now activated. We’re moving clockwise through the next section, alternating snow bridges with clear-weather orb access. The route helper has already caught one incidental story scene and stopped cleanly for it.

The third orb is open, and we’ve reached the upper-right weather switch. Our remaining supplies are adequate for the planned chain; I’m keeping the focus on field control and Magearna’s setup rather than trying to heal through every threat.

The upper section is complete. Taka is activating the third crystal, which opens Aster’s descent toward the next orb. We’re at 26% usage, so there’s ample room to finish the puzzle and prepare the linked fights carefully.

The fourth orb is activated. The next steps bring both characters around the southern side of the helix, where they can open the remaining bridges for each other. The queued route is progressing without battle interruptions.

We’re roughly halfway through the puzzle. Another short Taka scene interrupted the walking queue as expected; I’m adding those known incidental scenes to the helper so it can handle them without unnecessary pauses.

The latest puzzle sequence finished successfully. I’m continuing through the remaining Helix switches, then preparing for its linked battles.

The lower crystal routes are cleared. I’ve also solved the final two gem grids from the game’s puzzle rules, so those should take one pass once both characters reach them.

Both characters are through the long lower loop. The remaining route is mostly swapping between snow and clear weather to open the last crossings; the recording is still running cleanly.

The last weather switches are progressing normally. I’ll save at the completed puzzle before entering the battle room, so a failed linked attempt won’t require replaying this section.

The final orb is almost accessible. I’m checking the upcoming encounters while the walking script runs: the first pair starts on an icy field, and the second uses New World, so they need different openings.

Taka has reached the last frozen orb. Aster is making the final clear-weather switch, after which both can reach the gem grids.

Misty Terrain should give us a useful advantage in the first battle: it weakens Dragon attacks, prevents explosions, and lets Magearna gain Special Defense from knockouts. New World prevents that terrain change, so I’m planning Light Screen for the second opening.

All nine orbs are activated. We’re at the final gem puzzles now; I’ll finish those, save, and reconcile this recording before starting the gauntlet.

The route helper has reached the gem area, but one crossing is not matching its map prediction. I’m checking that short section before issuing more movement.

That crossing only opens after the gems are solved. The helper had treated it as already usable; I’ve corrected that. Taka is now at his grid, whose starting pattern matches the calculated solution.

Taka’s grid is progressing as predicted. Once Aster’s is finished, I’ll use that save point to close this puzzle recording and start a fresh battle recording.

Taka’s nine gems are all white, verified on screen. Aster is heading to the other grid for the final seven toggles.

Aster’s final approach takes the long route around the helix. I also confirmed there’s a saveable staging area inside the next room, just before the battle trigger, which will make retries much quicker if needed.

Aster’s starting grid also matches the solution. The final toggles are underway, with no battles or party damage during the puzzle.

Only the last gem remains. I’ll verify the door-opening scene, save beside the battle trigger, and then begin the two-round challenge.

The Helix puzzle is solved and saved. Both gem grids and the new connecting ramp are verified; I’m moving to the battle-room staging point now.

Saved just one step before the Helix battle trigger, with all six Pokémon healthy. The puzzle recording is closed and being edited; a fresh recording is ready for the gauntlet.

The first Helix attempt is underway with Taka as our partner. The save and team snapshot are secured, and the earlier puzzle footage is being processed in parallel.

Misty Terrain is active, and Taka knocked out Ninetales immediately. I’m bringing Magearna in now to build momentum from the remaining knockouts.

I’m resuming the Helix battle and finishing the previous recording’s edits between turns. I’ll keep the two linked fights together without saving between them.

Aegislash has removed Guzzlord, which was doing heavy damage to Magearna. I’m healing Magearna to preserve its accumulated boosts; the puzzle recording’s idle cuts have now been visually checked.

The first round is down to six opponents. Aegislash is making steady progress, but the physical attacks are keeping Magearna under pressure, so I’m using healing turns to keep its boosts available for the dragons.

Banette is down, and Reshiram has entered. Magearna now has a Defense boost as well, which should let it move from repeated healing back to attacking.

Magearna fell, but Aegislash finished Kangaskhan. Both dragons are now on the field; I’m using Volcanion’s Protect to give Aegislash a turn to hit them, then bringing in Swampert against Zekrom.

Zekrom is down and Reshiram is nearly finished. Aegislash has fallen, so the remaining team will handle the cleanup. Video 27 now includes the completed Helix puzzle, and its verified source cleanup recovered about 1.5 GB.

The first Helix round is won. I’m recording the result, then continuing directly into Kyurem’s round with the game’s automatic heal and no intervening save.

Kyurem’s round is starting on the New World field. I’ll open with Light Screen, then try to establish Trick Room for Magearna; the opposing Magearna’s Heart Swap makes it important to remove that threat before relying on boosts.

Manectric is already down, but the physical Victini came in early. I’m switching to Volcanion to absorb its Fire attack before committing Magearna to Trick Room.

Victini used Fusion Bolt instead, so Swampert is now in safely against it. Aegislash is healthy and damaging both opponents, giving us a better position without spending more items.

Victini is down. Shaymin and Mew are both almost finished, and Magearna is back in; this is the opening to set Trick Room while Aegislash clears them.

Shaymin knocked Magearna out before Trick Room could go up, but Aegislash cleared both opponents. The dragons’ entry seeds force a recharge turn, so I’m using that opening to revive Magearna for later.

The dragons took out Aegislash before it could attack again. I’m switching Swampert into the electric pressure while Blacephalon attacks; Magearna is revived and still available as a Dragon-immune switch.

Black Kyurem has entered. Swampert went down after healing Magearna in reserve, so Magearna can return with most of its health for another attempt at Trick Room.

Magearna couldn’t withstand the combined damage, even with the extra special defense. I’m using Mienshao’s Fake Out to interrupt Black Kyurem and give Komala an opening; if this attempt fails, I’ll adjust the opening of the full two-round run.

Komala also fell, leaving us badly outmatched. I’m ending this attempt and restarting the whole gauntlet from the pre-entry save. The key change is to establish Trick Room earlier, before the boosted dragons arrive.

The full gauntlet has restarted as attempt two. I’m keeping the successful first-round approach, adding physical defense earlier, and committing to Trick Room sooner in the second round instead of giving the opponents time to build pressure.

The second attempt’s opening matches the first: Misty Terrain is active and Ninetales is down. Magearna is coming in now, with the Defense boost planned before the physical attackers arrive.

The earlier Defense boost is helping. Glaceon is already down, and Magearna is still healthy enough to set Trick Room against Mimikyu and Banette.

Magearna cleared Mimikyu and Banette together. It now has strong offensive boosts and physical protection, so I’m targeting Guzzlord directly with Flash Cannon to avoid its Wide Guard.

Guzzlord is down and Reshiram has entered. Magearna has reached maximum special attack, so I’m using the remaining Trick Room turn to hit both opponents with Dazzling Gleam.

Reshiram and Weavile are down, and Zekrom is badly weakened. This attempt is moving more quickly through the first round; I’m keeping Magearna alive while Aegislash finishes the remaining attackers.

Only Kangaskhan remains in round one. Once it’s down, I’ll roll the recording at the dialogue pause and start round two immediately with the revised opening.

Round one is won again, this time with Magearna still standing. I’m changing recording files during the dialogue pause, then going straight into Kyurem’s round.

Round two is underway. The recording is running cleanly; I also caught an introduction-detection miss and anchored the fight to the visible send-out message before taking the first turn.

I’m checking the interrupted battle and recording state before sending another input. Magearna has fainted, so I’m also reassessing the remaining team’s route through this fight.

Swampert and Taka’s Aegislash are in together. I’m targeting Victini first; its boosted Fire attacks are the immediate threat to Aegislash. The previous recording’s idle cuts have also passed visual review.

The Fusion Bolt/Fusion Flare combination is overwhelming this team before it can act. I’m resetting the full two-fight chain and rebuilding around stronger defensive matchups and speed control before trying again.

The chain is reset, and I’m returning to preparation. I’ll bring in the trained Mawile and Latias, then check their moves and held items against both rounds. Usage is at 29% used, so there is ample room to do that properly.

The escape rope is disabled here, but the solved puzzle provides a return portal near the entrance. I’m using that route to reach the PC. The recording edit is ready for publication, with both unsuccessful attempts preserved in the journey.

The key change is to let Meowstic set Trick Room at the start of round two. That should give Magearna a chance to attack before the dangerous reinforcements arrive. Mawile will add Intimidate and another strong Fairy attacker; Latias can resist both Fusion attacks.

The revised journey segment is published and verified, and its redundant source files have been cleaned up. I’m still on the return trip through Apophyll Cave; the team changes will happen at the PC and move reminder.

We’re back outside. Meowstic can learn Trick Room from an owned TM, so that change won’t require a Heart Scale. I’m also replacing Mawile’s catching move with Protect for these battles.

The next attempt will use Meowstic, Magearna, Zapdos, Volcanion, Mawile, and Latias. This keeps the proven round-one core while adding better options for round two. I’m preserving the existing pre-battle save so the unsuccessful attempts remain fully traceable.

The recordings and recovery notes are now backed up to the private repository. I’m checking for a nearby Heart Scale as well: adding Reflect to Meowstic would help against the physical half of the gauntlet without relying on more battle items.

Latias is now being brought out of storage. I found the permanent Reflect TM still available in the Underroot, so I’ll collect that rather than spend time finding a single-use Heart Scale. It will also support future team changes.

Both replacements are in the party. I’m teaching Trick Room and Protect now, then I’ll save the rebuilt team before the short trip for Reflect. The two Mega options give us a choice between Mawile’s damage and Latias’s special bulk in each round.

Trick Room has been selected for Meowstic. The bag helper is spending too long rediscovering TM rows, so I’m extending its existing visible-menu memory to TMs; it will still verify the selected item before using it.

The two move changes are almost finished. The Reflect pickup has a walkable route, and the jungle outside supports Fly, so this should be a straightforward detour before returning to Helix.

The rebuilt team is saved with full health. I’ve also revised the opening plan: after setting Trick Room, Volcanion can absorb Victini’s Fire attack and threaten it with Steam Eruption. Magearna should enter only when the visible matchup permits it.

The northern jungle entrance is reachable via the west side of Beryl. I’ve checked the remaining walking route to the TM, including the Underroot approach, so there should be no additional battle or puzzle to solve on this detour.

We’re nearly at the jungle entrance. Once Reflect is learned, I’ll return directly to Helix and use a scripted opening for the familiar first round, pausing for decisions when the opposing lineup changes.

The jungle route is progressing normally, and the helper renewed Repel when it expired. The new opening script is ready; it checks the visible actor and battle menu before each of the four planned actions, then stops for a fresh assessment.

We’ve reached the Underroot and are approaching Reflect. This completes the planned preparation: Meowstic will have both screens, Misty Terrain, and Trick Room, with two fully trained replacements supporting the offensive core.

Reflect is acquired and being taught. We also have TM54 available to restore False Swipe after the gauntlet, so Mawile can return to catching duty for the one-time legendary encounters. Forty Timer Balls are still in reserve.

Preparation is complete and saved. I’ve started a fresh recording without restarting the game, and I’m heading back to Helix while the previous segment is edited.

We’re on the return trip now. The recording edit has reached visual review; I’ll check its cuts while the travel script brings us back to the saved battle approach.

The visual review shows clean battle and travel cuts, including the reset and all team changes. Only a few short idle spans remain to trim. We’re back in Apophyll Cave, close to the Helix entrance.

We’re at the Helix entrance again. Usage is 31% used, and the remaining recording work is just the final export and publication. The next full attempt will use the rebuilt team.

The third attempt has started. The rebuilt team is locked in for the full two-fight sequence, with no saves between rounds. The previous recording is fully published and its redundant sources have been cleaned up.

The opening is underway: Misty Terrain is set and Magearna is in. The script is handling the setup turns, and I’m watching for the first reinforcement pair before choosing our attacks.

The four-turn setup finished in under two minutes. Magearna has Trick Room active and defensive boosts, with Klefki beside it. I’m removing Ninetales first with Flash Cannon, then reassessing the next pair.

Ninetales, Banette, Golem, and Reshiram are down. Magearna’s boosts are building quickly, and Trick Room is still active. Mimikyu and Guzzlord are the next pair.

I’ve recovered the active fight and recording. Magearna is set up with Trick Room and defensive boosts; I’m continuing from the current turn.

Mimikyu and Raikou are down. Trick Room has expired, so I’m restoring Magearna’s health before facing Zekrom and Weavile.

Aegislash has cleared Weavile and left Zekrom near fainting. I’m keeping Magearna alive while our partner finishes this pair.

Zekrom is down; Lycanroc is next. The rebuilt team is intact, and the second round will start with Light Screen and early Trick Room to prevent the Fusion attackers from controlling the pace.

Only Kangaskhan remains in round one. For round two, Meowstic can now establish both screens and Trick Room; Mawile and Latias give us stronger options once the Fusion Pokémon arrive.

Round one is won, with all six of our Pokémon surviving. I’m continuing directly into round two without saving, as required for this gauntlet.

Round two is underway. I’m setting Light Screen first, then Trick Room while the opening pair is still on the field.

Trick Room is active, and Manectric is down. The opponent brought in Magearna this time, so Volcanion is taking that matchup while Light Screen protects the switch.

Volcanion has nearly finished the opposing Magearna, and Komala has weakened Mew. Trick Room is giving us the first attacks we were missing in earlier attempts.

The opposing Magearna is down. Zekrom is spending its entry turn recharging, so Mawile is coming in safely and lowering its Attack with Intimidate.

Mega Mawile knocked out Zekrom in one hit. It’s now using Trick Room to attack Reshiram before Fusion Flare can land.

Reshiram survived on a sliver of health and knocked out Mawile. Magearna is in beside Aegislash now; their Fairy attacks can finish Reshiram and pressure Black Kyurem before Trick Room ends.

Reshiram and Black Kyurem are both down. The two Victini have arrived together, so Latias is switching in to resist their Fire attacks and keep Magearna available for later.

Blacephalon removed the physical Victini. The partner team is now exhausted, so I’m managing the remaining fight with our reserves and keeping Latias alive through the special attacker.

Shaymin’s boosted Dragon attack broke through Latias. I’m bringing Meowstic back for Light Screen, then using Magearna’s Dragon immunity to stabilize the fight.

Light Screen is back up. Magearna can ignore Shaymin’s Dragon attack; I’m boosting its special defense to handle Victini before attacking.

Magearna went down despite the defense boost. I’m using Zapdos to revive Mawile; Sucker Punch gives us a way to remove Victini before it attacks.

This attempt is no longer in a strong position. I’m resetting the whole gauntlet and tightening two builds: Mawile missed the Reshiram knockout by only a sliver, and Volcanion also needed a second hit on Magearna. Improving those damage thresholds should preserve much more of Taka’s team.

The completed battle confirms the key damage misses. I’m preparing stronger offensive stats before the next attempt, and the previous recording is being edited while I travel.

Volcanion’s Special Attack is now 482, up from 397. I’m gathering Heart Scales for attack-boosting natures on Mawile and Volcanion, using the existing fishing automation.

I’m also checking Heatran as a replacement for Latias. Flash Fire would give us a true answer to Fusion Flare, rather than relying on resistance alone.

The latest attempt is now published in Video 27, including the reset. Heart Scale farming is running through normal fishing and Thief encounters while I check the next team changes.

Heart Scale farming is still running. The next team changes target the last battle’s weak points: more damage from Mawile and Volcanion, plus a Flash Fire Heatran to handle Victini’s fire attacks.

The revised Volcanion now has 482 Special Attack, up from 397. We’ve collected the first Heart Scale; I’m preparing Heatran’s training route while the fishing script continues.

Heatran’s training helper is ready: it will use normal fishing battles, check its EV gains after each fight, and stop if the encounter or health falls outside the plan. This should make the preparation quicker and easier to verify.

Two Heart Scales collected. Heatran is already owned, so the remaining work is to withdraw it, train it to the current cap, and change its ability through the normal item menu.

Three Heart Scales collected, with another Luvdisc encounter underway. The capture is still healthy and framed correctly; every encounter and preparation step is being recorded.

All four Heart Scales are secured. I’m moving on to Heatran’s moves and levels, then applying the two nature changes before the next Helix attempt.

The failed third attempt and its reset are fully edited into Video 27, and the recovery notes are backed up. The current session is focused on team preparation so the next attempt has a better answer to the second round.

Heatran has joined the party. Its Fire/Steel typing and planned Flash Fire ability should give us a much safer switch into the fire attacks that ended the last run. I’m teaching its battle moves now.

Flash Cannon is learned. I’m finishing Heatran’s remaining moves and reusing Darkrai’s Wise Glasses to strengthen it without another item-farming trip.

Flamethrower is learned too. I found an uncollected Ability Capsule in the Grand Stairway, so Heatran’s ability change won’t require buying one or farming more shards.

Heatran’s moves are set: Earth Power, Flash Cannon, Flamethrower, and Protect. Next are its level and EV training, followed by the Ability Capsule and nature changes.

Heatran has reached level 133; the remaining candy will bring it to 135. I also fixed a menu-reading issue where an item quantity was being mistaken for the item name, which was interrupting preparation.

Heatran is now level 135. The next training loop will raise its HP and Special Attack, giving it the bulk to switch in and the damage to finish opponents more reliably.

The party is healed at the level cap. I’m moving straight into the automated EV training now; after that, the remaining preparation is the ability and nature changes.

Wise Glasses have been recovered from the box. Heatran is getting the Power Weight for HP training first; the script will then use a separate Special Attack phase to keep the gains predictable.

HP training is underway at Tanzan Cove. I’ve also checked the route after the gauntlet: the three dragons have separate catch encounters, so I’ll preserve those opportunities for future team building.

The first HP gains are verified, and the training loop is proceeding cleanly. I’m checking the revised team against the two Victini in particular so the next attempt has a plan for both of them.

Heatran is past halfway through its HP training. The damage checks suggest the nature changes will help, though some attacks can still leave an opponent barely alive. I’ll keep that margin in mind rather than assume every hit will be a knockout.

Seven of eight HP-training wins are complete. I’ve also found a way to reduce the first round’s healing turns: heal Magearna before Trick Room expires, then renew Trick Room while it has enough health to take the incoming attacks.

HP training is complete: Heatran now has 517 HP. I’ve started a fresh recording and will edit the closed segment while its Special Attack training runs.

Special Attack training has started. The first edit of the closed recording is ready for review; I’m checking the cuts and music while the game continues through the training encounters.

Special Attack training is progressing without damage to Heatran. The recording review has found only navigation overlays and short menu pauses to trim; the preparation and fishing encounters remain intact.

Heatran’s Special Attack training is halfway complete. The previous recording has passed visual review and is being appended to Video 27 while gameplay continues.

Heatran’s EV training is complete: 517 HP and 482 Special Attack. The nearby capsule is separated by cave obstacles, so I’m checking a quicker route before sending the party there.

The capsule route is mapped now; it uses the same cave stairways we’ve visited before. Mawile and Volcanion are on their way to the nature specialist, then I’ll collect the capsule and return to Helix.

The training footage is now published in Video 27, and its verified source cleanup is complete. I’m applying Brave to Mawile and Quiet to Volcanion now; both changes increase their main attacking stat and lower Speed for Trick Room.

Both nature changes are verified. Mawile’s Attack is now 377, and Volcanion’s Special Attack is 530. I’m collecting Heatran’s capsule next, then healing and returning to the gauntlet.

The team changes are saved. I’m now on the capsule route, with the next battle plan ready so we can move through familiar turns with less time spent deciding between actions.

Heatran’s training and the team’s nature changes are finished. I’m resolving the Grand Stairway entrance so I can collect its Ability Capsule, heal the team, and return to the Helix battles.

The entrance is open. The route helper had incorrectly restricted which side I could speak to the guard from; approaching normally from below worked. I’m continuing through the caves for Heatran’s Flash Fire ability.

The rebuilt team has substantially more damage available: Volcanion’s Special Attack is now 530, and Mawile’s Attack is 377 before Mega Evolution. Heatran will give us a Fire-immune switch against Victini, though we’ll still need to account for its physical partner.

The cave route is nearly complete. The recording remains healthy, and the previous segment has already been edited and verified. Once Flash Fire is set, I can head straight back to Helix after healing.

Heatran now has Flash Fire, and that change is saved. The team rebuild is complete; I’m leaving the cave, restoring PP, and returning to the gauntlet.

All six Pokémon are healed and verified at level 135, with Meowstic back in the lead. For the first round, I’m keeping the proven opening and planning to refresh Trick Room before the late opponents force another long healing sequence.

I’m back on the route to Helix. This attempt will use the same no-save rule between the two linked battles, and both rounds will enter the major-fights collection only if the whole run succeeds.

The return route is progressing through Apophyll Cave. I’ve also preserved the rebuilt team’s checkpoint, so any full-gauntlet retry can start with these improvements already in place.

I’ve reached the Helix approach. The battle-entry script is ready to record the fourth attempt and run the four reviewed opening turns, then stop for a fresh check of the opposing lineup.

Attempt four is starting now. The rebuilt checkpoint and the completed preparation video are backed up, and recording continues through the full attempt.

The opening is following the expected line: Misty Terrain is up, and Magearna is coming in for its defensive boost and Trick Room. I’m checking each command screen as the script advances.

Trick Room is going up. The opposing lineup has changed sooner than in the previous attempt, so I’ll choose the next attack from the current board rather than repeat the old sequence blindly.

Magearna knocked out Mimikyu and Guzzlord together. Banette has now appeared, so I’m directing Flash Cannon at Golem to avoid walking into Destiny Bond.

Zekrom’s damage is higher in this line, but Taka’s Aegislash has both opponents weakened. I’m keeping Magearna alive while Aegislash finishes them, then reassessing Trick Room against the next pair.

Zekrom, Banette, and Lycanroc are down. Kangaskhan has just entered alongside Reshiram; I’m covering its Fake Out turn before trying to restore Trick Room.

Magearna survived the setup turn, and both current opponents are in range for Dazzling Gleam. The next attacks should let us close this round without extending the healing cycle.

Kangaskhan, Reshiram, and Raikou are down. Weavile is the last opponent in round one, with Magearna still active and the rest of our team preserved for the automatic heal before round two.

Round one is won in 14 turns. We’re continuing directly into the Kyurem/Fusion Simulations round with the rebuilt team fully healed.

The second round has taken a different line: the physical Victini entered immediately after Manectric fell. I’m bringing Heatran in now to cover the likely Fire attack instead of trying to set Trick Room in front of it.

Taka’s Blacephalon removed the physical Victini immediately. Zekrom is now weakened, and Mawile entered safely during its recharge turn; I’m Mega Evolving and going for Play Rough.

Zekrom and Mew are down, and the special Victini has appeared. Volcanion is in safely; I’m using its stronger Flamethrower to remove Magearna before it accumulates more Soul-Heart boosts.

Victini used Psyshock and Volcanion fell before it could attack. Heatran is in now against the paralyzed Magearna; it resists Psyshock and both of Magearna’s attacks, giving us a better position to remove it.

Heatran knocked out Magearna. Black Kyurem is next; Aegislash’s Friend Guard gives Heatran some protection while I target Kyurem with a field-boosted Flash Cannon.

Heatran fell to the combined attacks, but Aegislash has Black Kyurem below half health. Meowstic is setting Reflect so we can finish Kyurem and give Magearna a safer setup opportunity.

Trick Room is active, and Aegislash has both Shaymin and Victini in the red. I’m healing Magearna while Aegislash can finish them; that should leave only the remaining Pokémon on the other side.

That worked: Shaymin, Victini, and Reshiram are down. Magearna has Soul-Heart boosts and Trick Room is still active; White Kyurem is now in front of us.

White Kyurem and Hoopa are down. Salamence is the last opponent, and Magearna still has Trick Room and its accumulated Special Attack boosts.

The full Helix gauntlet is won on attempt four—14 turns in the first round and 15 in the second. I’m finishing the scene and saving, then I’ll secure the three one-time legendary encounters and archive both victories.

The victory is saved. I’m rotating the recording at this natural pause and preparing the capture team—our boxed Amoonguss has Spore, and Zeraora already has False Swipe, which should make these one-time catches much more reliable.

The capture-team trip is underway while the winning footage is being processed. The archive will show four full-gauntlet attempts, with each round’s actual item use counted from its completed battle log.

The Helix gauntlet is complete, and the capture team is ready. I’m preparing to catch its three one-time legendaries while finishing the winning footage and major-fight entries.

The winning run used five Ultra Potions and one X Defend across both rounds; the saved inventories confirm those counts. Zeraora is being leveled for False Swipe, then I’ll return for the captures.

Both wins are now backed up to the private repository, and the edited journey is being published. The capture team is fully healed and heading back into the Helix.

Video 27 now includes the winning gauntlet. I’m finishing the two roster-panel chapters; both will show four attempts, reflecting the full gauntlet resets.

I’m taking Zekrom first. Its return door triggers the next trainer once all three legends are resolved, so this order leaves room to heal and rebuild the team before that fight.

The recorder stopped while the game was idle after the return save. The input guard blocked further movement, so no encounter was missed. I’m replacing the recording before continuing.

Zekrom is asleep, and I’m weakening it before throwing Timer Balls. The replacement recorder is healthy, and the travel footage has passed its first review.

Zekrom’s field-boosted attacks are hitting hard, but Amoonguss is sustaining the capture attempt with Synthesis. I’ve also confirmed the next trainer’s lineup so I can prepare before triggering it.

Both Helix chapters are published and verified. Zekrom is down to about a third of its HP; I’m restoring Amoonguss, then moving to Timer Balls.

The capture is still in progress. I found Taka’s nearby healing event in the map data; I’m checking whether it remains available after the gauntlet, which could save a long trip between captures.

Zekrom is caught in three Timer Balls. I’m healing with Taka next. Reshiram and Kyurem need a different approach: I’ll use paralysis and their resisted attacks to avoid exposing Amoonguss to a likely knockout.

Taka still heals the whole party, including PP, so the long return trips won’t be needed. Everyone is restored, and I’m approaching Reshiram with Zapdos leading.

Reshiram is engaged. Zapdos will paralyze it, then Volcanion can absorb its Fire attacks and weaken it safely. I’ve also found a promising plan for the next trainer using our already-trained Darkrai behind Light Screen.

Reshiram is paralyzed and weakened, and the Timer Ball attempts are underway. Volcanion is handling its attacks well enough to keep the capture controlled.

Reshiram is caught too—four Timer Balls. I’m getting one more full heal from Taka, then heading to Kyurem.

Kyurem is paralyzed, with Zapdos still at full health. I’m using Fly for controlled damage; Magearna can then handle the ball attempts with its Dragon immunity and Ice resistance.

I’m resuming the Kyurem capture, then preparing the team for Ace. I’ll check that the recording is healthy before continuing.

Kyurem is weakened and paralyzed. I’m switching to Magearna for the catch, keeping enough HP on Kyurem that Endeavor cannot leave our team at 1 HP.

Magearna is holding up well while the Timer Ball attempts run. Zekrom and Reshiram are already caught; Kyurem is the last of the three. The Ace team plan uses our trained Darkrai and screens, with Magearna covering his Dark types.

Kyurem has broken out of the first few balls, but Magearna is still healthy. The recording is stable, and usage is at 39% used.

Kyurem is taking more balls than the other two, though Magearna has needed no healing so far. Once it’s caught, I’ll save and heal before returning to the PC for the Ace team.

Endeavor brought Magearna down to 131 HP, as expected. That still leaves room to keep throwing, with the script set to heal if its HP falls further.

Kyurem is still breaking out. Magearna now needs its first heal; the capture script will handle that before the next throw.

Kyurem is caught—17 Timer Balls and one Ultra Potion. All three dragons are secured. I’m saving and healing, then swapping in Meowstic, Darkrai, and Mawile for Ace.

The save now confirms Zekrom, Reshiram, and Kyurem are all in storage. I’m taking the safe route back to Taka so Ace’s battle won’t trigger before the team is ready.

That return portal also triggers Ace’s introduction; my route notes missed it. Kyurem is safely saved, so I’m reloading that checkpoint and using the exit to the outside map instead.

The reload preserved all three catches. We’re heading to the PC now. I’ve corrected the route notes: all three return portals can trigger Ace after the final capture, so preparation needs the outside exit.

The outside portal is blocked behind the return portal, and Escape Rope won’t work here. I’ll prepare the current team for Ace instead: Magearna is well suited to his Psychic and Dragon types, with Heatran and Volcanion as backup. The Kyurem checkpoint remains available if we need to retry.

Magearna will lead with Calm Mind and Dazzling Gleam. It’s immune to Latias’s Dragon attack and resists its Psychic attack, giving it a promising setup opportunity. I’m restoring the team and giving Magearna Wise Glasses before saving.

The Ultra Potions restore 200 HP each, so I’m conserving the remaining supply for battle rather than topping off small gaps. Magearna is at 453/487 HP and Zapdos at 410/421; the battle archive will show the actual entry HP.

Healing is done, and Magearna is receiving Wise Glasses. Next I’ll save, start a fresh recording segment, and enter Ace’s fight while the capture footage processes.

The team is saved and recording 354 is running. I’m entering Ace’s introduction now; recording 353 is processing separately for the journey video.

Ace’s story scene is still playing. The capture recording has rendered to about 6 minutes 38 seconds at 4×; I’m reviewing its cuts and transitions before adding it to video 27.

Ace opened with Latias. Magearna is using Calm Mind to build its defenses and damage. The capture footage review passed; I’m removing another 10 seconds of stationary pauses before publication.

Latias is using Hidden Power Fire. Two Calm Minds have reduced the damage, and I’m healing before the third boost so Magearna has a safer margin to start attacking.

The recorder briefly failed during a keypress, and the input guard stopped the command. Capture has recovered; I’m checking the battle screen before sending the next move. Video 27 now includes the verified dragon captures.

Ace switched to Mesprit while Magearna finished another Calm Mind. I’m attacking now to take advantage of Mesprit’s Magical Seed recharge. The recorder has remained stable since the interruption.

Mesprit went down in one Dazzling Gleam, though Fire Punch hit Magearna hard first. Latias is returning, so I’m healing while keeping Magearna’s Calm Mind and Soul-Heart boosts.

Latias is down, and Magearna has reached maximum Special Attack with 326 HP left. Ace is sending out Sableye; Dazzling Gleam also covers it if this is Zoroark’s Illusion.

Mega Sableye and Latios are both down. Magearna is still at 326 HP, with Hoopa and Zoroark left. The setup is paying off now.

Ace is defeated on the first attempt. Magearna took all six knockouts and survived Zoroark’s Z-Move, finishing at 174 HP. I used three Ultra Potions in the fight. I’m finishing the story and saving, then adding the win to the postgame major-fights collection.

Ace’s completed battle log confirms three Ultra Potions and no other battle items. The reunion scene is nearly finished; I’ll take the offered trip back to the nightclub and check the next quest.

We’re back at the nightclub, saved after Ace. The quest counter confirms Helix is complete and the level cap is still 135. I’m closing this recording segment for review, then checking the next story gate.

I’m using the nightclub’s healing machine and checking the next tier’s quest state. Ace’s footage is rendering in the background; its item totals have already been reconciled against the before-and-after saves.

The nightclub has unlocked the next level cap, 140. I’m picking up the next quest and preparing the team, while finishing Ace’s recording and splitting the journey video at that cap increase.

Ace’s win is verified: Magearna defeated all six Pokémon on the first attempt, using three Ultra Potions. The next lead points back to the meteor site where we found Deoxys.

Zero confirms the anomaly radar has gone quiet, with only a faint signal at the old meteor site. I’m checking that route and its upcoming encounters before choosing which reserve Pokémon to train to 140.

I’ll check the hidden directories and remove disposable caches or temporary renders once I’ve verified what they contain. I’ll preserve saves, active recordings, and any source footage still needed for archive review.

I found about 12 GB in this workspace’s hidden Git snapshot store and 19 GB in Codex’s conversation history. I’m checking which snapshot objects are disposable; the conversation history is not just a temporary render cache. Meanwhile, the next opponent is Zina, so I’m preparing for her team before returning to Citrine.

About 9.9 GB free (9.2 GiB) right now. I haven’t deleted anything from the hidden directories yet; I’m still verifying which files are safe to remove.

Understood. I’ve also found 123 GB in macOS’s temporary-file area, which may be the larger source you noticed. I’ll inspect that first; it may let us reclaim plenty of space without removing chat history.

That’s the culprit: I found 1,551 stale temporary Git snapshot directories, including repeated copies of this project’s index and objects. I’m checking that they’re old and unused, then removing those temporary copies while keeping the actual repositories, Reborn history, saves, and recordings.

The cleanup has reclaimed over 3 GB so far and is continuing in the background. The team is being trained to 140 now, with Meowstic’s screens and Darkrai added for Zina’s special attackers and Lunala.

Free space is up to about 31 GB, and the temporary-snapshot cleanup is still running. Video 27 is now closed at the cap increase, and Video 28 has started. The team’s level-140 training is nearly finished.

All six Pokémon are now level 140 and fully healed. I’m equipping Light Clay on Meowstic, restocking a few healing items, and heading to Zina. The cleanup has removed roughly 34 GB of stale temporary copies so far.

The cleanup has now removed about 50 GB of temporary copies. I’ve also excluded binary saves and growing live logs from this workspace’s future automatic snapshots; they remain on disk and in the separate handoff repository. Ace’s major-fight video has passed verification and is published.

There’s now about 91 GB free (85 GiB), and cleanup is still progressing. The team is ready; I’m buying the backup healing supplies and taking the established mountain route to Zina.

Free space has passed 100 GiB. The cleanup is almost finished, and no chat history needed removal. Gameplay is continuing through Beryl toward Citrine; the current recording has had no capture restarts.

The team has reached Citrine Mountain. Nearly 100 GB of stale temporary snapshots have been removed, bringing free space to about 128 GB; the cleanup is on its final batch.

Cleanup is complete: 103.8 GB of stale temporary files removed, with about 131 GB free (122 GiB) now. Reborn saves, recordings, repositories, and chat history are intact. I’m continuing up Citrine toward Zina.

We’re through the waterfalls and approaching the summit. I’ll open Zina’s fight with Light Screen, then respond to her first move before committing to setup.

Zina is at the meteor site, and her introductory scene is underway. We have a fresh save before the encounter, a fully healed level-140 team, and the recording is healthy.

Light Screen is up. Zina’s apparent Lunala used Night Daze, revealing the Zoroark disguise. I’m switching to Zapdos to paralyze it before bringing Magearna in.

The paralysis worked, and Magearna took very little damage on the switch. It’s now building Calm Mind boosts behind Light Screen, which should make the rest of the fight much safer.

Zina switched the paralyzed Zoroark out for Delphox. I’m bringing in Heatran to absorb its Fire attack and threaten it with Earth Power.

Heatran defeated Delphox without using an item. Xerneas is next; I’m restoring Light Screen and using Meowstic’s field control to contain it before bringing Magearna back.

Xerneas landed a critical Moonblast and knocked out Meowstic, but Light Screen is active again. Magearna is back in to build special defense and answer with Flash Cannon.

Xerneas has used Geomancy twice; on this field it boosts immediately. I’m reinforcing Magearna’s special defense before attacking, rather than leaving it exposed to that setup.

Xerneas landed another critical hit, knocking out Magearna through its defensive boosts. I’m resetting this attempt and changing the approach: remove Starlight with Misty Terrain before Xerneas can use instant Geomancy. The failed attempt will stay in the journey video.

Meowstic now holds Amplifield Rock, so Misty Terrain will last eight turns. I’ve saved the revised setup and am starting the second attempt while the first attempt’s footage is processed.

The stale temporary snapshots are cleared, leaving about 131 GB free. The Reborn saves, recordings, scripts, and chat history are intact. I’m continuing the Zina fight and finishing the previous recording’s review.

The opening worked: Zoroark is paralyzed, and Delphox has switched in against Magearna. I’m bringing in Heatran for the Fire immunity, then using Misty Terrain when Xerneas appears to remove its instant Geomancy advantage.

Delphox is down. Meowstic is now setting Misty Terrain against Xerneas. The previous session has also been reviewed and added to video 28, with its failed attempt preserved and the redundant source files safely removed.

Misty Terrain and Light Screen are both up, and Magearna has entered safely. I’m building Calm Mind boosts before attacking Xerneas; the field change gives us time to do that without its earlier rapid setup.

Xerneas is nearly down. The terrain change has kept Magearna in control, though Xerneas is now hitting hard. I’m watching the remaining HP closely before the next opponent.

Xerneas is defeated. Magearna survived at 10 HP, recovered with a Max Potion, and is now facing the paralyzed Zoroark again. Its accumulated boosts should help finish the remaining team.

Zoroark landed a critical Flamethrower while Magearna’s attack missed, so I healed again. Zina then switched to the real Lunala. I’m boosting Magearna’s speed to make better use of its offensive boosts against the remaining Pokémon.

Lunala has used its Z-Move, and Magearna now outspeeds it. One Dazzling Gleam brought it into the yellow; I’m taking the finishing shot. I also checked the next route: there is a Naganadel battle before Giratina, so I’ll prepare for that first.

The finishing attack missed, and Lunala knocked Magearna out. Darkrai has now finished Lunala. I’m continuing against Yveltal with Darkrai’s sleep and setup moves; the fight is still recoverable.

That was Zoroark wearing a new disguise after Lunala fainted; I missed the paralysis marker before choosing Dark Void. Darkrai went down to Focus Blast. I’m using Swampert to stabilize the fight and revive Magearna.

Swampert is still at full health after two Special Defense boosts. Zina has switched to the real Yveltal, which gives us a better matchup for rebuilding Magearna. I’m reviving and healing it before bringing it back in.

Magearna is back in and rebuilding its boosts against Yveltal. I also found a small cause of slow bag navigation: three visible item names were missing from the script’s remembered routes. That is fixed for future selections.

Yveltal’s Dark Pulse interrupted setup with flinches. Magearna still has enough health to continue; I’m establishing Trick Room so it can act first and stop giving Yveltal those chances.

Yveltal is down. Zoroark is now disguised as Absol—the paralysis marker confirms it—and only it and the real Absol remain. Trick Room is active, and Heatran is healed for the final matchup.

Zoroark is down too. Heatran is facing the final Absol, whose Fire, Ice, and Fairy coverage it handles well. I’m finishing this matchup, then saving the win and processing its recording.

Zina is defeated on the second attempt. Heatran finished Mega Absol safely. I’m saving the result and preserving the winning battle for the major-fights collection, then moving on to prepare for Naganadel.

The win is saved, and I’ve returned to the city to heal. Its recording review is complete; the journey and major-fight exports are being assembled with the exact item totals. Next I’m reviewing the available team for Naganadel’s Steel-heavy lineup.

I’m bringing in Mega Latias, Volcanion, and Arcanine for the next fight. Their immunities, recovery, and Intimidate give us more ways to handle the opposing team. The Wasteland weakens Earthquake heavily, so a Ground-heavy team would be a poor fit here.

The team swaps are underway. I’m also shifting Arcanine’s training toward physical defense, where Intimidate and Morning Sun can help it hold up against Solgaleo and Lucario. This should give us more reliable switches instead of relying on emergency revives.

Zina’s winning battle is now verified and published in the major-fights collection, and its temporary video sources are cleaned up. The new team is being raised to level 140 while I check the route into Byxbysion Grotto.

Latias, Volcanion, and Arcanine have reached level 140. Arcanine’s defensive training is also complete. I’m finishing held items and healing, then heading to the grotto with a save before its automatic battle scene.

The stale temporary Git snapshots accounted for that space; their cleanup recovered about 104 GB. I’m checking the game checkpoint and recording before continuing toward Naganadel.

The full team is now level 140 and healed, with Heatran leading. There’s about 129 GB free on the machine, so disk space is comfortable. I’m preserving the checkpoint, then restocking healing items and entering the grotto.

Zina’s winning fight and the latest journey segment are fully edited and verified. The new team checkpoint is also preserved; I’m now handling the short resupply trip before the next boss.

The private handoff repository is updated with Zina’s victory and the trained team. For Naganadel, the plan is to use Heatran and Mega Latias against the Steel-heavy roster, with defensive Arcanine and screens available if the matchup changes.

The resupply is underway. The grotto fight starts automatically on entry, so the route script will stop outside it for a fresh save and battle-recording registration.

Restocking is complete: two Max Potions and three more Ultra Potions purchased. I’m heading into Byxbysion now; the team’s resistances and recovery moves should carry most of this fight.

One matchup detail matters here: Solgaleo’s ability blocks Intimidate. I’ll use Reflect and its observed damage to choose the response, rather than relying on Arcanine’s ability against it.

The direct path is blocked by the Wasteland’s separate terraces. I’m checking the existing passages to find the legal route around them; the team and recording are ready.

The tunnel entrance is still locked behind the five-canister puzzle. Four canisters are reachable from this side; I’m activating them and routing through the buildings to the last one.

The last canister is reachable through an existing building passage, so no team change or extra field move is needed for that part. The route script is working through the switches now.

A rock that was cleared on an earlier visit has respawned, exposing a stale obstacle note in the route planner. I’ve corrected that note and will teach Arcanine Rock Smash over Thief to clear the path normally.

I’m also clearing the old temporary obstacle entries for this map so the route won’t try to walk through respawned rocks or trees again. Arcanine’s Rock Smash teaching is in progress.

Rock Smash worked, and the route has resumed. Two canisters are now activated; the script is continuing through the remaining locations while I check the tunnel’s entry conditions.

Four canisters are activated. The last one is upstairs through the nearby building; after that I can verify the unlocked door and continue into the tunnels.

All five canisters are now activated and saved. The remaining route uses shared tunnel rooms whose exits change with entry flags, so I’m accounting for those transitions before sending the next movement batch.

The door unlock is confirmed in the saved game. I found the remaining routing issue: the planner didn’t model these diagonal slides. I’ve added their installed movement rules and will verify the actual landing coordinates as we traverse them.

The updated route now reaches the tunnel network. I’m taking the saved team through it, with position checks after each slide and doorway.

The saved canister state confirms the passage is open. We’re moving through the interior rooms now; no battles have interrupted this section.

We’ve reached the tunnels beyond the locked door. The next section is the slide route to the grotto; I’m keeping its movement batches short until the new slide handling is verified.

The slide traversal worked, and the next tunnel entrance is verified. We’re close to the grotto now; I’ll use the pre-boss pause to start processing this recording segment.

We’ve reached the grotto entrance. The team is still intact, and the remaining steps are the two interior switches and the pre-battle save.

The pre-Naganadel save is complete, with all six Pokémon at full health. I’m closing the preparation recording and starting a fresh capture for the boss while the previous segment renders.

Naganadel’s fight has started. Heatran faces Ferrothorn as expected, so I’m opening with Flamethrower and watching for the opposing Heatran switch.

Ferrothorn fell to one Flamethrower. Mega Latias is now facing Heatran and has started setting up Calm Mind; Recover will offset Magma Storm while I build enough power for the remaining team.

Heatran’s Nature Power became Gunk Shot, and the Wasteland effect froze Latias. I’m healing and clearing that status before continuing; the rest of the team remains untouched.

Latias reached three Calm Minds, but Gunk Shot inflicted paralysis this time. I’m attacking now to remove Heatran instead of spending more turns trying to keep Latias status-free on this field.

Heatran survived the first Surf in the red and immediately reapplied paralysis after the cure. Latias is healed again, and I’m finishing it with Surf. The preparation recording’s visual review is progressing alongside the battle.

Heatran is down, and Solgaleo is next. I’m bringing in Meowstic for Reflect so our Fire-types can handle its physical attacks more safely.

Meowstic got both screens up before falling. Solgaleo has also taken Life Orb recoil twice, so Heatran can now enter safely and pressure it with Flamethrower.

Solgaleo is down. Nidoking is coming in, so I’m using Volcanion while Light Screen is still active: it should survive Earth Power and answer with Steam Eruption.

Volcanion survived Earth Power and knocked out Nidoking in one hit. Arcanine is taking the next matchup against Lucario, with Intimidate and the remaining Reflect turns supporting it.

Lucario used Swords Dance on Arcanine’s first attack. Arcanine is still healthy and has Reflect support, so a second Flamethrower is the immediate play.

Lucario is down; only Naganadel remains. It used Nasty Plot as Heatran hit it with Earth Power. I’m using Protect to cover the likely Z-Move before trying to finish it.

Naganadel is defeated on the first attempt. Protect absorbed most of its Z-Move, and Heatran survived the following Draco Meteor with 15 HP before landing the final Earth Power. I’m saving the win and preparing its major-fight archive.

The Naganadel win is saved. I’m closing that recording for editing, then continuing into Distorted Space. The temporary-file cleanup recovered about 104GB; the last disk check showed roughly 129GB free.

The completed battle log confirms four items used: two Max Potions and two Full Heals. Zapdos is still at full health and will lead through the next section while the Naganadel footage renders.

The journey video now includes the Naganadel win, with the long decision pauses removed. Its major-fight chapter is rendering with the entry team, first-attempt count, and four-item total. We’ve entered Distorted Space.

Malamar is defeated in two turns. The next section uses Malamar to swap the walkable paths; I’m mapping those switches so we can move through the puzzle efficiently.

I have a route through the first room using six Malamar switches. I’m testing each transition through the game controls and checking our position after each switch.

The first-room switches are working as planned. I’m also preparing the next room’s route, where the statues let us walk through walls within eight tiles of each statue.

The first room is cleared, and Naganadel is fully archived in both videos. The major-fight compilation passed the complete decode check, and its existing footage is unchanged.

The second-room route is ready. The planner needed to account for the upper part of each statue as a separate activation point. I’ll use short movement batches with position checks, especially while passing through walls.

The second room is underway. The saves, Naganadel archive metadata, and routing work are backed up and pushed. Disk space is still about 120GiB free.

We’ve crossed several statue sections successfully. I’ve also mapped the first orb in the next room; on this route, Taka handles the final color puzzle and the Giratina trainer battle, leaving Giratina’s wild encounter for us to catch.

The wall-walking controls are working, including reactivating statues from their upper tiles. We’re still moving through room two; the orb routes are ready for the next section.

A position check stopped the route at a Malamar: a short movement input didn’t advance the character. I’m checking that step before continuing.

The character can still move and interact with Malamar, so the run is intact. I’ve switched the room from this position and am recalculating the remaining route.

I’ve saved our position midway through room two and changed the approach to that Malamar. The route is moving again; no battles or completed rooms needed to be replayed.

A Repel expired during the route. I’ve renewed it and added that prompt to the movement helper so future expirations can be handled automatically.

I found the cause: the saved state confirms wall-walking is active, but some short key presses only turn the character. I’m increasing them to the same duration used by the reliable walking helper.

The longer key presses have resolved the movement stops so far. We’ve crossed the central statue section and are heading toward room two’s exit.

We’re at the final statue chain in room two. The next route will collect both orbs, with a save after each one.

An automatic staircase carried us straight to the next planned statue. I checked the landing and continued from there. One Malamar switch remains before the room-two exit.

Room two is cleared. We’re entering the orb room now. After both orbs are saved, I’ll close this recording for editing and continue toward Giratina in the next recording.

We’re approaching the first orb. I’ve also taught the helper to recognize when an automatic staircase lands on a later tile in the planned route, so it can continue after verifying the position.

The left orb is activated and saved. The right-orb route needs a different approach to Malamar so turning toward it stays within the statue’s eight-tile limit. I’m using the statue’s return control to reposition.

The revised approach worked, and we’re at the last statue before the right orb. I also checked the story sequence after Giratina: this route intentionally requires several reloads through fake “Bad End” screens. I’ll preserve and reload the game’s own saves for that sequence.

The orb section is saved, and recording 360 is now rendering. I’m checking both orb flags before heading to the center puzzle; the latest usage check is 51% used.

Both orb flags are now confirmed in a fresh save. The first save caught the right orb’s animation before it finished setting its flag. I’m returning to the center while reviewing the edited puzzle footage.

The cleanup recovered about 104 GB, and the machine currently has 119 GiB free. I’m resuming at the center of Distorted Space; Latias is healed, and I’m checking the recording and final puzzle steps before Giratina.

Taka has opened the final passage. The puzzle footage is intact; I’m trimming the pauses and coordinate checks while moving toward Giratina’s chamber.

The last puzzle section is saved, and Giratina’s story scene is underway. Latias is fully healed for the capture. The previous recording’s final edit removes another 11 seconds of idle footage; its revised cuts look clean.

The disk cleanup recovered about 104 GB, leaving roughly 119 GiB free. Giratina is now paralyzed and in red health; I’m working on the capture with Latias keeping the team stable.

Mega Latias is taking Giratina’s attacks comfortably after Calm Mind. The capture queue now checks HP before each throw and uses Recover when needed. The next story scene includes scripted reloads, so I’ve checked those before proceeding.

Giratina is caught on the fourth Timer Ball. That completes the Distorted Space capture; I’m finishing Anna’s scripted ending sequence before returning to the Nightclub for the next level cap.

The game has preserved Giratina in its scripted “Bad End” save. I’m using normal Continue reloads to advance that sequence, then I’ll heal and prepare for the next anomaly. Free space remains about 119 GiB.

Anna’s reload sequence has reached the final reveal, with Giratina safely retained. The next cap is 145. Darkrai is already trained for fast special attacks, so I’m checking it as a lead for the upcoming Necrozma encounter.

Distorted Space is complete and saved. I’ve closed that recording at the Nightclub lobby so video 28 ends before the cap increase; video 29 is recording now. I’ll process the closed footage while preparing the team.

The team is healed at the Nightclub. I’m bringing Darkrai and Mega Mawile into the next lineup, while keeping Meowstic’s screens and the travel moves needed for the puzzle. The previous recording is rendering and being checked alongside this preparation.

The candy calculation shows we’re ten XL candies short of taking all six to 145. I’ll train the five key battle members now; Arcanine can handle the puzzle at 140. I’m also checking a quick way to replenish money and supplies before the next boss.

Five core members are now level 145. Video 28 is published and verified, including Giratina’s capture and all three story reloads. I’m accepting Randall’s quest and making a short Grand Hall supply stop before the next puzzle.

Jace’s repeatable team is available today. I’m using Arcanine with the Amulet Coin for a bounded training round; it awards both money and XL candies. This should cover the remaining level training and a small supply restock.

That area was mostly stale temporary Git data. About 104 GB has been reclaimed, with roughly 119 GiB free at the last check. I’ll check the current battle and continue from there.

The current disk check shows 117 GiB free—about 126 GB. Jace is beaten, and the reward gives us enough candy to bring Arcanine to level 145. I’m finishing that training before heading to Citae Prisma.

All six team members are now level 145. I’m heading to Citae Prisma; its mirror puzzle comes before the Necrozma battle, so I’ll use that checkpoint to finish reviewing the matchup.

The cave entrance route is blocked on this approach. I’m checking the map for the field-move obstacle so the travel script can get through cleanly.

The entrance is reached through the neighboring cemetery and a Rock Smash path. I’ve identified that route and am adding it to the travel sequence.

The Rock Smash detour worked; we’re at the cave entrance. The matchup review also caught an important issue: Rainbow Field halves Dark Pulse’s damage and boosts Prism Armor’s defense. I’ll account for that before committing to the fight.

We’ve reached Citae Prisma and saved at the entrance. Mega Latias looks like a better lead for Necrozma: it resists the opening attacks and can build Calm Minds, while Mawile provides priority damage later. I’m starting the puzzle now.

Citae Prisma has scripted underpasses that the route planner didn’t yet recognize. I’ve added support for those two crossings so it can route through them with normal movement keys.

The underpass route worked. Elias and Luna’s introductions are complete, and I’ve built a helper that checks each mirror’s visible position after a push. That should make the puzzle’s repeated moves much quicker.

The mirror puzzle is now active. The damage estimates support the Mega Latias plan: after setup, Surf should take two hits for most opponents and three for Ultra Necrozma. One X Speed would let Latias heal before Ultra attacks; critical hits remain the main risk to watch.

The first mirror push is verified. I’m positioning it to charge the blue crystal, which opens the first bridge. After that checkpoint, I’ll rotate the recording and process this segment while continuing the puzzle.

The blue bridge is open, and the first orb has added a second mirror. I’ve saved there and closed recording 362. I’m starting the next capture before resuming input, with video 29’s first segment ready for editing.

The second-stage mirror moves are now planned, and the script is executing them with position checks. Recording 362’s initial edit is about 5 minutes 20 seconds; the music pass and visual review are underway in parallel.

That was the large temporary-file area. The cleanup reclaimed about104GB, and the machine now has115GiB free. I’m continuing the Prisma puzzle and finishing the previous recording’s edit.

The first orb is complete. I’m setting up the mirror positions for the green crystal next. The previous recording’s cuts have passed visual review; its final render is running alongside the game.

Both mirrors are in their reset positions. I’m switching the room’s lighting to store those positions, then I’ll use the purple crystal to redirect the moving beam toward green. Recording362 is now fully reviewed at5minutes13seconds.

The lighting cycle has stored the mirrors’ return positions. Next is charging purple and timing the beam redirect. Video29’s first segment is published, and its temporary source files have been removed after verification.

The puzzle is progressing, but repeated screenshot OCR is slowing each mirror move. I’m replacing those checks with direct matching against fresh recorded frames; the script will still stop if a mirror is not where expected.

Purple is being charged now. The faster mirror checks are working with the same matching scores, so the remaining positioning should take less time. The current save and video29 metadata have also been copied into the handoff package.

The mirrors are ready for the first timed redirect. I’m saving this setup, then making one timed attempt while retaining the beam frames for review.

The timed redirect worked on the first attempt: green is charged. I’m activating it and clearing the rocks, which opens the beam paths needed for the next stage.

The green crystal is active, and rock clearing is underway. Next I’ll set up the two-beam solution for blue and green together, using the timing from the successful attempt.

The rocks are cleared and the two-beam setup is underway. This stage requires another trip to Luna and Elias to store new mirror positions. The team is already level145; the puzzle is the remaining gate before Necrozma.

The new mirror positions are stored. The script is now placing the mirrors, charging purple, and preparing the blue-and-green attempt. It will check each move and stop if anything differs from the plan.

The mirror moves are passing their checks. I’ve also prepared a helper for the final stage, where Serra acts as a movable mirror, so those moves can use the same recorded-frame checks.

One mirror check stopped the sequence before sending a push. I’m checking the recorded frame to see whether the player is obscuring the mirror or the position has changed.

The mirror was correctly positioned. Its stored shadow was covering the border used by the check; matching the unobscured interior gives a96% score. I’ve adjusted that check and resumed the sequence.

Purple is charged again. The script is moving the last mirror into place for the blue-and-green pulse, with a saved checkpoint before the attempt.

Blue and green both charged on the first timed attempt. I’m activating the bridges and collecting the second orb, which unlocks the third mirror for the red-crystal stage.

Both bridge crystals are activated. Once I reach the second orb, I’ll close this recording at that checkpoint and start the next capture while its edit runs.

Two more breakable rocks were blocking the path beyond the east bridge. I’m clearing those and continuing to the second orb; the blue-and-green solution remains active.

The route helper also needed the bridge’s horizontal crossing rule. I’ve added it from the game’s map script, and the east-path route is running again with position checks.

The second orb is collected and saved, and the third mirror is unlocked. I’m rotating the recording here, then setting up blue, green, and red together.

The third mirror is positioned for its stored return point. I’m completing the lighting cycle while reviewing the previous recording’s cuts; the initial edit is about3minutes54seconds.

That area contained the stale temporary Git files: cleanup reclaimed about 104 GB, leaving roughly 115 GiB free. The game is continuing through the next mirror puzzle, and I’m reviewing the recording edits alongside it.

The mirror positions are verified, and the third light sequence is nearly ready. The recording review shows the cuts remove coordinate pop-ups and stationary pauses while retaining the puzzle actions.

The previous recording is now published in video 29 and verified end to end. I’m finishing the three-color puzzle setup; its timed activation will use the same control sequence that worked for the earlier stages.

Blue, green, and red all charged successfully on the first attempt. I’m opening the west route to the final orb, which unlocks Serra’s part of the puzzle.

The three crystals are activated, and the mirror that could have been trapped by the red rocks has been moved clear. Video 29 is current through recording 363, and the latest save and puzzle tools have been copied into the handoff.

The third orb is collected. Serra’s scene introduces the final mechanic: she can redirect a beam, so I’m setting up all four colors before moving on to Necrozma.

Serra’s beam interaction worked, and her mirror controls are unlocked. I’m placing her and the remaining mirrors for the final timed sequence.

Serra is now in position and facing the right way; her control helper passed its visual checks. The remaining work is to store the final mirror layout, charge Purple, and run the last timed activation.

The final mirror moves are progressing without retries. For Necrozma, the plan is to use Mega Latias’s Calm Mind and Recover setup, with one Speed boost so it can act before Ultra Necrozma.

I’ve prepared a bounded battle helper for Latias’s setup. It checks the visible matchup and HP before each action, uses Recover when needed, and stops if the screen or battle state differs from the plan.

All mirrors are in their final stored positions. I’m completing the light/dark cycle, then moving two mirrors for the last activation. That will test whether all four beams reach their crystals together.

The saved shadow positions match the final layout exactly. Purple is being charged now; the last two mirror moves and the timed activation are queued with position checks.

I’m also preparing for the wild Necrozma encounter after the boss. We own False Swipe, so I’ll give Mawile that move to help weaken Necrozma safely for capture.

The final activation worked on the first attempt. Citae Prisma’s puzzle is solved and the door is open. I’m making the capture move change, putting Latias in front, and saving before the boss.

Mawile has learned False Swipe. I’m checking the boss-entry save and will start a fresh recording at this natural break, then enter the fight while the puzzle footage is processed.

The team is saved at the boss entrance with full HP. I’m switching recordings now; Necrozma will be archived as the next postgame major fight.

Necrozma’s first battle has started on Rainbow Field, with Latias at full HP. The setup helper is running, and the puzzle recording is being edited in parallel.

That was the large temporary-file area: cleanup reclaimed about 104 GB, leaving roughly 115 GiB free. I’m continuing the Necrozma fight; Latias has completed its setup, and the recording is running.

The first Necrozma is down, and Latias is still healthy. I’m using short, guarded scripts to keep turns moving while checking each new form. The previous puzzle recording is also undergoing its final edit review.

Two forms are down. Dusk Mane’s physical attacks needed a defense boost; Latias can now recover safely and continue. The puzzle edit review is complete, and its revised export is rendering.

Ultra Necrozma knocked out Latias with a stronger Dragon Pulse than expected. I’m switching to the backup plan: Prankster support to control turn order, then Mawile’s Fairy attack. This is still the first attempt.

Ultra Necrozma also broke through Mawile despite Light Screen. I’m using Zapdos to paralyze it so the remaining team can act first. The finished Prisma puzzle footage has now been verified and appended to video 29.

Darkrai has put Ultra Necrozma to sleep. Its Z-move removed the Rainbow Field, which also removed the penalty on Dark Pulse; that gives us a much better finishing attack.

Lunala’s field-granted Magic Coat reflected Dark Void, and the recovery plan has fallen apart. I’m finishing this attempt, then I’ll use the completed battle record to correct the strategy before retrying from the pre-fight save.

I’ve identified a stronger fix than adding more items: Latias can relearn Stored Power, which turns its Calm Mind boosts into much more damage. I’m preparing that move before the next attempt.

Latias needs one Heart Scale for the move reminder. I’m using the existing fishing-and-Thief script to obtain it; this also unlocks Latias’s permanent move relearning, so future adjustments will be easier.

That was the large temporary-file area. The cleanup recovered about 104 GB, leaving roughly 114 GiB free. I’m continuing the playthrough and preparing Stored Power on Latias for the next Necrozma attempt.

The fishing script is running through the ordinary game controls and skipping unwanted encounters. Stored Power should let Latias finish the boosted sweep much faster than Surf, reducing the number of attacks it has to survive.

The first two Luvdisc had no Heart Scale, so the bounded fishing run is continuing. The failed Necrozma attempt is logged, and video 29 is verified through recording 364; recording 365 is still capturing this preparation.

The latest disk check shows 113 GiB free while recording continues. I’ve prepared the next menu sequence so it can teach Stored Power, restore Arcanine’s travel move, and heal the team as soon as the Heart Scale is found.

Arcanine stole the Heart Scale on cast 17. The script is collecting it and saving, then I’ll teach Latias Stored Power and return for the rematch.

The Heart Scale is secured, and the team has reached Onyx Ward. In this game’s implementation, six Calm Minds plus the planned Speed and Defense boosts raise Stored Power to 340 base power. I’ll verify its damage in the rematch before letting the battle script continue.

Stored Power is confirmed in the reminder’s menu and is replacing Psychic. This is also Latias’s third tutoring session, which should unlock free move relearning for later team adjustments.

Latias has learned Stored Power. Arcanine is now getting Rock Smash back for the cave route; the remaining preparation is healing and saving before the second attempt.

The move changes are done, and Arcanine’s Amulet Coin is restored. I’m putting Latias back in front and healing the party. I’ll use that preparation stop to rotate the recording and start processing the completed footage in the background.

Latias is back in the lead. The Prisma puzzle remains solved in the restored save, so the return trip only needs the cave route and the portal to Necrozma.

The team is fully healed and saved with the new moveset. Recording 366 is running with verified game-only framing, and the return to Necrozma is underway while recording 365 is being edited.

The new save has been verified and copied into the handoff. Recording 365’s first edited pass is about seven minutes, including the loss and preparation; I’m checking its cuts and music while the route script travels back through Beryl.

The preparation checkpoint and scripts are now pushed to the private repository. The team is back on the cave route; the rematch will begin from a fresh save immediately outside the encounter.

The route script stopped safely because the rocks it expected had already been cleared. I’ve confirmed the open path and resumed from that point. The edited recording is ready for visual review, including the full failed battle.

The rocks had respawned; the route data was stale. A fresh in-game save corrected the map snapshot, and the script is clearing them normally. I also spotted a possible timing mismatch in the recording’s review images, so I’m checking that before publishing.

The cave rocks are cleared now. The recording check also passed: direct frame extraction and the input log agree at the questioned cut, and the battle actions remain intact. I’m finishing the remaining idle-cut review as the team approaches Prisma.

The team is in Beryl Cave, close to the Prisma entrance. The recording review approved five additional idle cuts; the final render is running. All six Pokémon remain fully healed for the rematch.

The second Necrozma attempt is starting from a fresh save with the prepared team. Recording 365 has passed its visual and audio checks and is being appended to video 29.

Mega Latias is setting up against the lead Necrozma. The bounded script is handling Calm Mind, Recover, and the two planned boosts, checking the visible HP and matchup before each action. Video 29 is now published through recording 365.

Latias has reached six Calm Minds with 483/508 HP. The opening went better this time, and the script is applying Speed and Defense boosts before the first Stored Power.

Stored Power knocked out the lead Necrozma in one hit through Light Screen. Latias still has 459/508 HP. The battle script is continuing the sweep, with guards for unexpected matchups or low HP.

The new strategy is working: Latias has defeated the four Necrozma forms and Solgaleo while staying at 459/508 HP. Dusk Mane needed two hits; Lunala is the last opponent.

Necrozma is defeated on attempt two. Mega Latias swept all six opponents, using only one X Speed and one X Defend. I’m marking the victory boundary for the major-fights archive, then catching Necrozma for future team options.

Wild Necrozma is paralyzed. I’m bringing in Mawile to weaken it with False Swipe, then using Latias’s recovery to support the capture. Darkrai will stay out so Bad Dreams can’t accidentally finish it off.

Mawile has weakened Necrozma without risking a knockout. It remains paralyzed, and two more guarded False Swipes should put it at the capture floor. Latias can then heal itself while throwing balls.

Necrozma was caught in the second Timer Ball. I’m finishing the capture prompts and saving, then returning to the Nightclub to check the next quest.

That was the large temporary-file area. The cleanup recovered about 104 GB, leaving roughly 113 GiB free. Necrozma is defeated and caught; I’m returning to the Nightclub and finalizing that recording before the next quest.

The return route is overshooting individual steps, so I’m checking movement speed before continuing. The Necrozma strategy worked well: Latias won the rematch in under five minutes using two battle items.

Movement speed is corrected. Citae Prisma’s exit has an extra navigation obstacle, and Escape Rope is blocked here, so I’m checking the stairs directly. Rayquaza is the next quest; I’m also reviewing the following gauntlet so we can prepare the team before committing.

The blocked exit was waiting for Serra’s post-quest conversation. That scene is underway now. Necrozma is safely stored, and I’ll use the Nightclub stop to archive the win and prepare for Rayquaza’s doubles battle.

The exit conversation is complete, and the route is moving normally again. For Rayquaza, I’m planning around Trick Room and bringing Magearna and Volcanion back into the team; their typing and abilities should help much more than another item-heavy attempt.

The team is healed. I also checked Rayquaza’s capture mechanics: it roams and can flee, so I’m planning the capture as well as the boss fight. The machine currently has 112 GiB free.

Back at the Nightclub with a verified save. I’m rotating the recording here and processing Necrozma’s footage while continuing quest and team preparation. The major-fight entry will show the winning second attempt and the exact two-item total.

Danielle’s quest is accepted. I’m assembling the doubles team now, and the Necrozma edit has passed its first visual checks. The capture and the full exit conversation are retained.

Magearna and Volcanion are back in the party. I found a safer opening for Rayquaza: Mienshao can use Fake Out while Magearna sets Trick Room, then use Wide Guard against the spread attacks. I’m adding it before training, which should reduce the risk of losing a turn to Rayquaza and Kyogre attacking together.

That was the large temporary-file buildup. The cleanup recovered about 104 GB; I’ll verify the current free space and resume the team preparation and recording work.

The machine now has 111 GiB free (about 119 GB). Today’s Grand Hall trainer is Silva; I’m checking that matchup for efficient training while finishing Necrozma’s major-fight video.

Necrozma’s edited fight looks correct: the panel shows the winning team, two attempts, and the two setup items used. I’m publishing it now. Mienshao is in the party, and Zapdos will handle Silva’s training team.

Zapdos beat Silva’s team in four attacks and took only one hit. That gives us a reliable training loop. I’m bringing Magearna, Volcanion, and Mienshao up to level 145 before the Rayquaza attempt.

Training is progressing without consumables. Rayquaza’s opening pair has strong spread attacks, so I’m also checking the available moves and held items for a dependable Trick Room opening.

I’m adding the already EV-trained Zeraora as well. Its fast physical Electric attack gives us a useful answer to Kyogre after Trick Room ends. That costs two more short training rounds, but should make the team more reliable.

Necrozma is now published in both archives, with the existing major-fight footage verified unchanged. Its temporary video sources have been removed. Training is continuing; we have 28 candies banked toward the first three level-ups.

The fourth training round is nearly done. Zeraora is already trained for Attack and Speed, so it only needs levels. Magearna will also get Protect to give us a safer turn for bringing Mawile in and lowering Rayquaza’s Attack.

Magearna can use our Amplifield Rock to extend Trick Room from five turns to eight. That gives the slower attackers more time and lets Magearna keep Calm Mind alongside Protect. The archive and current save have also been synced to the handoff repository.

The team is nearly ready; the last two training rounds are running now. I also confirmed that Rayquaza appears on the normal region map after the boss fight, so we can track and catch it through the game’s map interface.

Zeraora is now in the party, and the fifth training fight is won. One more round will cover the remaining levels; then I’ll finish the move and item changes and head to Charous Mountain.

All six training fights are won. I’m now applying the earned candies, buying a small reserve of healing and repels, and arranging the opening pair before saving at Rayquaza’s trigger.

The candies are going on now. Ordinary battle experience reduced the amount needed to 61, leaving 15 spare. Volcanion has reached 145, and the remaining three are being raised in the same batch.

All six are now level 145. Zeraora’s Speed is 602, comfortably above this Rayquaza’s calculated 521 outside Trick Room. I’m finishing the equipment changes and the pre-battle save.

Magearna is learning Protect, replacing Flash Cannon while keeping Calm Mind and Dazzling Gleam. The opening calculations support the plan: Fake Out covers Rayquaza on turn one, and both leads should survive an ordinary Origin Pulse while Magearna sets Trick Room.

Preparation is complete and saved. We’re heading to Charous Mountain with Mienshao and Magearna leading, two Max Potions in reserve, and five Super Repels for the later hunt.

Saved immediately before the encounter. Rayquaza attempt one is starting now with the prepared six.

Trick Room is up. Kyogre knocked out Mienshao with Hidden Power, but Magearna took no damage and gained a Special Attack boost. Mawile is coming in immediately to Intimidate Rayquaza and attack.

Mawile went down before removing Rayquaza. Magearna is now at +3 Special Attack and +1 Special Defense, with six Trick Room turns left. I’m healing it and using Dazzling Gleam; Volcanion covers the other slot against Kyogre’s Water attacks.

Dazzling Gleam removed Rayquaza and heavily damaged Kyogre. Kyogre’s critical Thunder knocked out Volcanion, but Magearna is at full health and +5 Special Attack. Zeraora is joining it now.

Magearna has cleared Rayquaza, Kyogre, Ninetales, and Darkrai; Yveltal is being resolved by the same Dazzling Gleam. Only one healing item has been needed so far, and Trick Room is still active.

Rayquaza’s anomaly team is beaten on the first attempt, using one Max Potion. Magearna swept the remaining team under Trick Room. I’m finishing Hardy’s dialogue and saving, then we’ll track the roaming Rayquaza.

The win is saved and the team is healed. The fight took about 6½ minutes. I’ve closed that recording for editing and am starting the next capture for the Rayquaza hunt.

Rayquaza is now roaming, and the team is healed for the hunt. I’m checking its visible map marker and setting up a short search loop; the closed recording is rendering in parallel.

That was the main space culprit. The cleanup recovered about 104 GB, and the machine currently has about 109 GiB free. I’m continuing the Rayquaza hunt and finishing the recording review alongside it.

Rayquaza’s boss battle is won; the remaining step is catching it as it roams. I’m using its visible map marker to track it, while checking the edits for that victory.

The recording review is clean so far, including the full Rayquaza victory. I’m automating the repetitive doorway-and-map checks so the roaming search moves faster without guessing where Rayquaza is.

The full journey now includes the Rayquaza battle, with its earlier footage verified unchanged. The major-fight version shows the correct entry team, one attempt, and one Max Potion. The roaming search is running through guarded map checks.

Rayquaza is still circling the northeastern mountains. The search script is checking its marker after each pair of area changes. I’m also planning the next consecutive battles around the team’s survival between rounds, since fainted Pokémon won’t receive the intervening heal.

Both Rayquaza video exports are now verified, and their temporary sources have been cleaned up. The roaming marker has moved into the western desert area. I also confirmed this version gives Rayquaza a more forgiving catch rate than I initially assumed, which should help once we meet it.

I found a flaw in the search route: Rayquaza avoids the player’s last two areas, so alternating only between the hall and Opal Ward could never bring it to us. I’ve stopped that loop and am switching to a route with a third area.

I’ve moved to Beryl, where an adjoining encounter area avoids that two-area restriction. The next fight’s team plan will also make use of Rayquaza’s weather control, which should be especially useful against the sun teams ahead.

The corrected route worked: Rayquaza’s marker is now in the area connected to Beryl. I’m moving to the nearby grass without changing maps, then using paralysis and False Swipe for the catch.

Zapdos successfully paralyzed Rayquaza before it fled. That status carries over to later encounters. Mawile is now leading so the next meeting can focus on weakening it safely.

Rayquaza is back within encounter range, and Mawile is searching the grass. Its paralysis is already secured; the next encounter will let us reduce its HP without risking a knockout. The completed boss battle and video records are also being added to the handoff.

Mawile weakened Rayquaza, but the first ball didn’t hold and it fled again. Rayquaza stays damaged and paralyzed, and each escape gives us more turns in the next encounter, so the capture setup is progressing.

That matches the large temporary-file buildup. I’ll check the recovered free space and the current playthrough state before continuing.

The machine now has 106 GiB free—about 114 GB. The cleanup recovered roughly 104 GB of stale temporary files. Rayquaza’s map marker is back near Beryl, so I’m continuing the capture attempt with recording active.

Rayquaza is now at minimal HP and still paralyzed. Mawile safely absorbed its Outrage; the third encounter’s capture attempt is resolving now.

Rayquaza fled the third encounter, but its low HP and paralysis persist. I’m resuming the visible-map search; the recording is still running.

I’m resuming the Rayquaza hunt from the last safe point and checking that capture is still healthy before sending more game input.

The search helper hit a menu-timing guard and stopped safely; I’ve corrected that delay and restarted it. Once Rayquaza is caught, I’ll train and prepare the team for the full Aegir gauntlet before entering.

The next gauntlet needs stronger support than the current team. I’ve confirmed Heatran is already EV-trained; Cresselia can be prepared with an EV swap, levels, and support moves. I also found a shop source for Lum Berries to protect the opening against sleep.

The capture follow-up is now scripted too: when the visible marker returns to the connected area, it will save our progress, seek the encounter, and make bounded ball throws. It stops on unexpected prompts or capture results, reducing idle time if the model stalls again.

Rayquaza has moved south toward Opal. The search is still running normally. I’ve also confirmed that Groudon follows the next gauntlet immediately, so the team must finish those battles healthy enough to weaken and catch it.

The Beryl search has taken longer than expected. If this bounded pass ends without an encounter, I’ll follow Rayquaza’s visible marker to another reachable area instead of repeating the same loop.

The roaming progress is now saved. I’ve flown to Obsidia Park to intercept Rayquaza’s next move, and I’ll use this pause to rotate the recording and process the completed footage.

The new recording is verified, and the previous footage is rendering in the background. I’m now using short flights and fresh map checks to intercept Rayquaza; its weakened state is safely saved.

I’m recovering the current game and recording state, then I’ll resume the Rayquaza hunt and finish the pending video edit alongside it.

Rayquaza’s weakened, paralyzed state is preserved. I’m using its visible map marker to intercept it, while checking the previous recording’s cuts so the failed capture attempts remain intact.

The previous recording is now appended and verified, with all three Rayquaza encounters retained. The game is still recording; Rayquaza jumped north, so I’m following its new position.

The next major challenge needs a stronger prepared team, so after this capture I’ll train Heatran and Cresselia before entering it. The archive and latest save handoff are also being brought up to date to make future capacity interruptions easier to recover from.

I’ve caught up with Rayquaza on Route 4. It’s already weakened enough to catch, so this encounter can go straight to throwing balls.

Rayquaza broke out twice, and Hyper Beam knocked out Mawile. I’m bringing in Magearna to finish the capture attempt; the weakening and paralysis are still in place.

Rayquaza is caught—third ball of the fourth encounter. I’m saving that now, then heading to the Grand Hall to heal and train the team for the Aegir battles.

The support team is assembled. I’m using the Grand Hall trainer for levels and money, then combining Rayquaza’s EV training with Heart Scale farming so we can unlock Mega Rayquaza without a separate grind.

Training is progressing cleanly. I also corrected the capture plan for the next legendary: Groudon is immune to Thunder Wave, so I’m preparing enough balls, defensive support, and False Swipe instead of relying on paralysis.

I found a better capture option: Heavy Balls are sold in Obsidia and work especially well on Groudon. I’m also adding a specially defensive Amoonguss for Spore, which should make both the capture and later fights much safer.

The training rewards are collected, and Heatran and Amoonguss have reached level 145. Cresselia is leveling now. I’ve also prepared the archive tracking for the full Aegir sequence, including the required capture, so a partial win won’t be published as a completed run.

I’ll check the running preparation script and recording, then continue from the latest verified checkpoint.

Rayquaza is caught, and the team has reached level 145. Preparation stopped on a harmless menu-reading error while teaching Trick Room; I’m fixing that and continuing Rayquaza’s training before the Aegir gauntlet.

There’s about 112 GiB free, so disk space is healthy. I’m preparing for both Aegir battles and the forced Groudon encounter afterward, with special-defense training and sleep support to reduce reliance on healing items.

The preparation check caught two missing TMs: Light Screen and Earthquake. I’ll locate those while Rayquaza’s training proceeds; the team plan needs them before we enter the gauntlet.

Trick Room is learned, and Rayquaza is nearly ready to start the fishing-based training loop. The installed game puts Earthquake behind the starter-egg collection quest, so I’ll use V-create for this team and collect Light Screen from Azurine Lake.

Rayquaza has started training successfully. Each battle now runs through a guarded loop that checks the visible opponent, attacks, verifies the result, and saves the earned EVs. It also uses Thief on Luvdisc to gather Heart Scales for Dragon Ascent and V-create.

The training loop is working, including the first Luvdisc encounter. I’ve also mapped a route to Light Screen, so that pickup can use the existing navigation scripts once training finishes.

Rayquaza has 128 Attack EVs, and Arcanine successfully stole a Heart Scale. I found and fixed a menu-input timing issue that interrupted taking the item; the remaining training can resume from the saved result.

Both needed Heart Scales are secured. Rayquaza is at 160 Attack EVs; I’m finishing Attack and HP training before teaching its final moves and buying the gauntlet supplies.

Rayquaza’s Attack training is complete at 252 EVs. The script is switching to HP training now; afterward I’ll reconcile this recording at the preparation checkpoint before continuing to Light Screen.

HP training is underway, with 64 EVs verified so far. The remaining preparation is planned: collect Light Screen, teach Rayquaza’s moves, stock Heavy Balls and Chesto Berries, then restore the six-member battle team.

Rayquaza is at 192 HP EVs, with two training battles left. I also caught an archive-audio mistake: the game uses its legendary battle theme for roaming Rayquaza. I’ll correct that music in the current recording and the affected published segment.

Rayquaza’s training is complete: 252 HP and 252 Attack EVs, saved and verified. I’ve closed recording 369 and checked the fresh recording 370. Next is the Light Screen pickup, while I process the completed footage.

The trained save and recovery notes are backed up and committed. Usage is at 70% used, leaving room to continue toward the 95% stopping point. Recording 369 is rendering while Rayquaza learns the temporary Surf and Dive moves for the pickup.

The Rayquaza music correction is published, with every video frame preserved and a clean decode check. The Light Screen route hit an unsupported Fly destination before moving; I’m correcting that approach and reviewing recording 369’s idle cuts.

The city’s east and west sections aren’t connected by the routes the planner tried. I’m checking a lake approach from Coral Ward before sending more movement commands. The footage review has found only idle holds to remove; the capture and training battles remain intact.

The lake route exposed the navigation issue: it read water beneath Coral’s pier and assumed Surf was already active. I’ve reached the actual edge and opened the normal Surf prompt. I’ll resume the route once boarding is confirmed.

I’m resuming the Light Screen pickup and Aegir team preparation, while finishing the last recording’s review and archive update.

The lake route is moving again, and Rayquaza’s HP and Attack training is already complete. I’ve also finished reviewing the previous recording’s idle cuts; it’s now being appended to video 29.

Video 29 is updated and verified, including Rayquaza’s capture and training. There’s about 111 GiB free. I’m crossing Azurine Lake for Light Screen, then finishing Rayquaza’s moves and the capture supplies before the Aegir chain.

The team plan now has dedicated support for both Aegir battles: Cresselia’s screens, Mienshao’s Wide Guard, and a fully trained Rayquaza. I’m also bringing Amoonguss and Heavy Balls for the mandatory Groudon capture, since there’s no heal after the second battle.

We’ve reached the dive point for Light Screen. The remaining move changes and shopping are scripted with menu checks, so preparation can proceed without stopping to reason through each input.

Light Screen is collected. I’m returning to the city to teach it and finish the moveset changes; the Aegir archive checks are ready to keep both victories tied to the same completed run.

The recording is fully reconciled through session 369, and the new capture is healthy. Light Screen is safely collected; we’re on the return crossing, with the move-learning and shopping queues ready next.

We’re back in Coral Ward, and Cresselia is learning Light Screen now. The return helper stopped because we had already crossed into the next map; I verified the arrival and continued from there.

Light Screen is learned and saved. Rayquaza is heading to the Move Reminder for Dragon Ascent and V-create. I’ve also checked the Aegir approach so temporary travel moves will be restored to its combat moves before entry.

Dragon Ascent is confirmed in the reminder menu. I’m also replenishing Repels within the shopping budget, to avoid wasting time on wild encounters during the trip back to Aegir.

Dragon Ascent is learned, and V-create is next. After shopping and assembling the six, I’ll rotate the recording at a safe pause and keep its edit work running alongside travel.

The V-create menu hit a small OCR mismatch—the move’s “V” was omitted. I checked the recorded frame, corrected that recognition case, and resumed the existing selection. No preparation was lost.

Both reminder moves are learned. I’m finishing Rock Slide and Wide Lens, then buying the berries, healing supplies, and Heavy Balls before restoring the final six from storage.

The menu helpers are progressing, though the TM list scan is slower than it should be. I’m checking that helper while it runs so repeated preparation trips can use fewer menu steps.

Rock Slide is now being taught. I’ve tightened recognition of its garbled TM label, which should avoid a full bag scan on future visits while still checking the visible move name.

Rayquaza’s combat moves and Wide Lens are set. We’re returning to the Grand Hall for a heal and verified save; shopping and the final party swaps follow.

The Grand Hall save verifies Rayquaza with Dragon Ascent, Rock Slide, V-create, and Wide Lens, plus Cresselia’s Light Screen. The party is healed. I’m rotating the capture now, then continuing directly into shopping and party assembly.

The new recording is running, and shopping has started. The closed segment is rendering in the background; it contains the Light Screen trip and move preparation, with no major battles to extract.

The extra Power Anklet has been sold, and the healing supplies are purchased. I’m finishing Repels, Heavy Balls, and the two Chesto Berries. The recording render has passed its output checks and is generating review sheets.

The 30 Heavy Balls are purchased. The berries are the last shopping stop. I’ve also reviewed the closed recording and approved only two additional idle holds; the revised render is underway.

I’m recovering the current game and recording state, then I’ll finish the team setup and continue the Aegir encounter.

The interruption left us in a berry menu; the purchases are intact. Heatran now has its Chesto Berry. I’m finishing Cresselia’s item and the six-member lineup before heading back to Aegir.

Both sleep-protection berries are equipped, and the previous recording is now verified and published. There’s about 112 GiB free. The remaining preparation is the PC swap and travel; the battle plan uses trained reserves, Wide Guard and Light Screen to handle the consecutive fights.

We’re back at the Grand Hall. I’m saving the completed shopping, then swapping in Amoonguss and Mienshao. Rayquaza’s combat moves are ready; its travel moves will be replaced on arrival.

The supply save is verified: 30 Heavy Balls, 11 Ultra Potions, and both Chesto Berries held correctly. The final team is being assembled now. I’ll save again before committing to the forced battle chain.

Amoonguss and Mienshao are in the party. I’m setting Heatran and Cresselia as the opening pair, with Magearna and Wide Guard ready for the spread attacks. The team is fully trained to level 145.

The final six are saved and verified at full health. We’re travelling to Aegir now; I’m also updating the recovery checkpoint so another capacity interruption won’t lose track of this preparation.

We’ve reached Victory Road’s entrance and are preparing the waterfall descent to Aegir. The recovery copy now contains the assembled team and the latest verified video; the game remains active and recorded.

The travel queue is progressing normally. Surf is being restored for the descent, then Rock Slide and Protect will replace the field moves before the battle checkpoint.

Surf and Waterfall are taught. Once the descent is complete, I’ll verify all six builds and save at Aegir before starting the uninterrupted encounter.

We’re crossing the Charous route toward the waterfall. The team checkpoint is backed up and pushed. I’m keeping the battle entry separate from the travel queue so it can’t start before the final move and recording checks.

The route helper stopped at a doorway it couldn’t validate, so no battle has started. I’m checking that map connection and will resume from our current position. I also confirmed the between-round heal does not restore PP, so I’ll conserve Trick Room and Moonlight.

This entrance leads to a disconnected section of Victory Road. I’m correcting the route through the cave’s normal ladder connection; the game and recording are healthy.

I found the previously verified route: it needs one Rock Climb before the waterfall. Heatran can handle that temporary move, and Protect will be restored immediately afterward.

Rock Climb is taught, and we’re moving through the cave connection now. I’ve corrected the reusable travel script so future trips won’t repeat these route stops.

The cave crossing is underway, and the expired Repel was renewed normally. Capture checks are still fresh. After this climb, only the waterfall route and move restoration remain.

The Rock Climb and cave exit are complete. Heatran is relearning Protect, and we’re at the waterfall approach to Aegir.

Heatran’s battle moves are restored. We’re descending the ledges toward the water; the route helper is verifying each forced jump before continuing.

We’ve reached the waterfall. The game opened its Waterfall prompt as Surf finished, so I’m handling that prompt directly and continuing to the cave entrance.

The waterfall descent is complete, and we’re inside Aegir Cave. The script is taking us to the inner chamber, where Rayquaza’s final moves will be restored and the pre-battle save verified.

The inner entrance requires a separate “Jump?” confirmation. I’m completing that transition, then finishing Rayquaza’s moves. The encounter itself is still untouched.

The coordinate check confirms we’re already in the inner chamber. I’m restoring Rock Slide and Protect now, then saving before Florinia.

Rock Slide is restored; Protect is the last move. Usage is at 73% used, leaving room for the encounter and archive work before the 95% stop point.

The pre-battle save is verified: all six are at full HP and PP, with the intended moves and items. I’m rotating the recording at this safe pause, then starting the Aegir chain without saves between its fights.

Florinia is on the central island, so I restored the combat moves one crossing too early. I’ll restore the needed field moves, cross to her, and make the final save there. No battle attempt has begun.

The remaining crossing includes a short upward waterfall. I’m checking its landing against the installed map so the route can run as one bounded sequence, then I’ll restore the battle moves on the island.

The map has separate water levels, and the generic planner is mixing them. I’m resolving the shore approach before sending more movement; the team is still saved and untouched by combat.

Surf is being restored while I finish the route check. The delay is navigation, not a battle reset; I’ve kept the attempt count unchanged because we haven’t challenged the trainers yet.

I found the reliable connection in the earlier route records: the lower landing exits through the underwater passages. I’m using that verified Dive route to reach the upper shore, then crossing to Florinia.

The Dive route is working: we’re through the first underwater connection and moving toward the upper-shore exit. While that queue runs, I’m reviewing the closed preparation recording and trimming only verified idle holds.

I’m checking the live game and recording state, then continuing toward the Aegir battles with the prepared team.

The underwater detour is complete. I’ve reached the upper shore and am making the final crossing to Florinia; the recording review also confirmed three short idle holds that can be trimmed safely.

We’re on Florinia’s island now. I’m restoring Rayquaza’s battle moves and saving here so any failed gauntlet attempt can restart without repeating the cave route.

The previous recording is now edited, verified, and appended to video 29. The upcoming challenge is two consecutive double battles followed by the Groudon capture; I’ll preserve the full chain and track Perish Song carefully.

The island checkpoint is saved with all six Pokémon fully healed and the intended moves and items verified. I’ve declined the optional PC and am starting the first Aegir attempt.

Trick Room is up. Cresselia survived the opening attacks, including a critical Surf; I’m removing Jolteon and putting up Light Screen before bringing in the Wide Guard pair.

Jolteon is down, and Quagsire’s Earthquake also knocked out its ally Heliolisk. Mienshao took damage entering, but both current opponents rely on spread attacks, so Wide Guard gives Magearna a safe opening.

Wide Guard is doing its job: Quagsire and Flygon are down, and Magearna has gained two Special Attack boosts without taking damage. I’m pressing the attack while watching Gengar and Primarina for Perish Song.

Gengar landed a critical Shadow Ball that knocked out Mienshao. Magearna answered by clearing both opponents and now has a large Special Attack boost; I’m bringing in Rayquaza to handle the remaining threats.

Groudon and Lapras are out together. I’m moving Magearna out of Earthquake range and using Cresselia to restore speed control, rather than leaving the boosted Magearna exposed.

Rayquaza’s critical Dragon Ascent removed Groudon, then V-create removed Exploud. With Light Screen back up, I’m restoring Mienshao before the first round ends so it can receive the between-round heal.

Titania’s team is cleared. Amaria has Meganium and Kyogre left; Mienshao is revived, and Cresselia is healed. I’m setting Trick Room again to finish the round while keeping the team alive for the next one.

Only Kyogre remains. Rayquaza is safely withdrawing with low health, and Mienshao is coming back at full health behind Light Screen; that should let us finish with Wide Guard and preserve all six survivors.

Amoonguss is draining Kyogre while Wide Guard blocks its attacks. All six team members are alive again, so the first round is close to ending in a usable state for round two.

Round one is won, with all six Pokémon alive. It took one Revive, one Max Potion, and one Ultra Potion. I’m recording that result and advancing through the healing scene into round two without saving.

The victory and full post-battle tail are recorded. The next round will restore HP and status for our surviving team, but not PP, so I’m preserving Cresselia’s remaining Trick Room uses and Rayquaza’s strongest attacks.

Round two has begun with Heatran and Cresselia fully healed. The opening plan is Flamethrower into Venusaur and Trick Room, using Heatran’s fire immunity and Cresselia’s bulk to establish control.

Venusaur and Mega Blaziken are down. The Chesto Berry worked as intended against Grass Whistle, and Trick Room is active. Primal Groudon has entered early, so I’m focusing it before it can exploit Heatran’s Ground weakness.

Groudon survived the combined hit and knocked out Heatran. Cresselia and Rayquaza are both immune to Precipice Blades, so I’m using that pairing to finish it and recover Heatran afterward.

Primal Groudon is down. I’m recovering Heatran now; it’s still the best answer to Shaymin, Pheromosa, and Xurkitree, while Rayquaza keeps Protect available during the recovery.

Heatran is back in safely, and Trick Room is active again. I’m adding Light Screen and clearing the remaining fast attackers on Groudon’s side before dealing with Titania’s team.

Shaymin is down, and Xurkitree is nearly finished. Cresselia is back at full health; I’m healing Heatran while it attacks, taking advantage of the remaining Trick Room turns.

Groudon’s entire team is cleared. We now have a two-on-one advantage against Titania’s remaining Pokémon, which gives room to heal Rayquaza before Ho-Oh and Reshiram.

Ninetales is down, and the switch into Rayquaza avoided Ho-Oh’s Earth Power completely. Cresselia is healthy behind Light Screen, so I’m using the two-on-one advantage to work through Titania’s remaining legendaries.

Ho-Oh is down, but Brave Bird left Rayquaza at almost no health. I’m withdrawing it and bringing in the Steel pair against Lunala, keeping Cresselia safe for the mandatory capture afterward.

Magearna has a Calm Mind boost, and Lunala is repeatedly targeting Heatran. I’m using Protect and recovery to keep that under control while Magearna breaks through Shadow Shield.

Protect failed after the intervening item turn, and Heatran went down again. Magearna now has three Special Attack boosts and two Special Defense boosts; I’m bringing in Amoonguss to put Lunala to sleep and stop the repeated damage.

Lunala’s Psyshock knocked out Amoonguss before Spore could land. Magearna has nearly finished Lunala now; I’ll revive Amoonguss before ending the trainer fight, since we need it healthy for Groudon’s capture.

Lunala used its Z-Move to knock out Cresselia, but Magearna finished it. Mienshao’s Fake Out then let Magearna remove Reshiram without taking another hit. Houndoom and Aegislash remain; I’m rebuilding the capture team before the final knockout.

Houndoom is down; only Aegislash remains. Magearna is still at full health with maximum Special Attack. I’m using this final opponent to restore the Pokémon needed for the capture, which starts without another heal.

Aegislash used King’s Shield while I revived Heatran and restored Light Screen. That gives us a safer recovery window; I’m restoring Amoonguss next and keeping the final knockout on hold until the capture team is ready.

All six Pokémon are alive again. Amoonguss and Heatran are being healed for the capture, and I’m topping up Rayquaza as backup before finishing Aegislash.

Round two is won. Heatran’s Flamethrower finished Aegislash after the recovery turns. All six are alive, including the healed Amoonguss and Cresselia; the remaining task in this uninterrupted chain is catching Groudon.

The level-120 Groudon encounter has started. Heatran entered at full health; I’m switching to Cresselia to screen and weaken Groudon, then using Amoonguss’s Spore and the Heavy Balls bought for this encounter.

Cresselia recovered from the opening hit and has Light Screen up. I’m weakening Groudon cautiously now, checking its health after each hit rather than risking an accidental knockout.

Groudon is at roughly half health, and Amoonguss entered without taking damage. Trick Room is active, so Spore can land first; I’m starting a short, guarded Heavy Ball queue.

Groudon has broken out of two Heavy Balls but remains asleep. I’m shortening the capture queue now that Trick Room has ended, so I can react immediately if it wakes and hits Amoonguss.

Groudon is caught on the third Heavy Ball. Both trainer rounds and the capture are complete on the first full-chain attempt. I’m clearing the capture screens, saving the result, and reconciling the recordings before continuing.

The completed chain and Groudon are saved. The next objective is the escaped legendary in the northern New World pocket. I’m healing and resupplying first, while the closed recording is edited and both Aegir victories are prepared for the major-fights collection.

The northern pocket contains the remaining Kyogre capture, rather than another trainer gauntlet. I’m preparing Amoonguss for that encounter directly; the Aegir recording is rendering in the background.

The route north requires Surf and Waterfall, so Rayquaza has those travel moves again. The travel queue is running while I review the recording cuts, including the long battle-menu pauses.

I’m recovering the current game position and recording work, then continuing toward Kyogre while finishing the Aegir battle edits.

The Aegir victory and Groudon save are intact. The travel helper stopped on a false text detection in the scenery; I’m correcting that and preparing Amoonguss for the Kyogre capture. There’s about 110 GiB free, and usage is at 78% used.

Amoonguss is healed and leading the party. The recording review has confirmed that the Aegir cuts preserve the battle actions, victory screens, and Groudon capture; I’m checking the final idle trims before publishing both boss fights.

We’ve reached the northern waterfall. The Aegir journey edit has passed its final visual checks and is being appended to video 29; the two boss chapters are next.

Kyogre is in battle, with a save made immediately beforehand. Amoonguss can put it to sleep and resist its Water attacks, so I’m weakening it carefully for capture. The Aegir panels now include the verified item totals and both rounds’ original teams.

Kyogre caught—two Heavy Balls, with Amoonguss handling sleep and recovery. I’m saving that capture and returning to finish the Aegir quest, then preparing for the next anomaly.

The Aegir quest is complete, and both victories are published in the postgame compilation. Next is the Battle Pavilion lead-in to Neoteric Isle. I’m checking its entry rules and preparing the team before starting another major fight.

I’m recovering the live game and recording state, then continuing with the Battle Pavilion team we prepared.

The prepared team is saved, and the next recording is running correctly. I’m entering the Pavilion with Magearna, Cresselia, and Heatran; its automatic healing between rounds lets us use a durable setup team without relying on bag items.

The Pavilion’s first opponent leads with Houndoom. I’m using Heatran for that matchup and keeping Magearna’s setup plan for safer openings. The Kyogre/Aegir recording is also being edited in the background.

Heatran handled the first two Pokémon cleanly and is attacking the last one now. The footage review confirms the Kyogre capture and Aegir conclusion are intact; only idle pauses and coordinate overlays are being removed.

Round one is won without losing a Pokémon or using items. Round two is underway, and the completed Kyogre segment has now been published to video 29 with the existing footage preserved.

Magearna’s Calm Mind setup is working: it beat Vileplume and Nidoking and now faces the last Pokémon of round two. I’m also adapting the archive to show the Pavilion’s actual three-Pokémon, level-100 team correctly for its final boss.

Two rounds down, both on the first attempt. Magearna swept round two after setting up, and everyone is healed for round three. Usage is at 80% used, so there’s still room to continue before the cleanup boundary.

Round three’s Heatran has Magma Storm, so Cresselia is absorbing it while building Calm Mind boosts and healing. This is the slower matchup the defensive reserve was brought for; the other two teammates remain available.

Heatran revealed Toxic, Stealth Rock, and Protect alongside Magma Storm. With all four moves known, our own Heatran can safely take over: it’s immune to both the fire attack and poison.

The opposing Heatran is down. Its Protect stalling is over; I’m handling Excadrill next, with Cresselia available for the Ground-type matchup.

Excadrill knocked out Cresselia on the switch. That exposes a weakness in this trio against strong Ground attackers; I’m finishing the attempt, and if it fails I’ll restore Trick Room on Magearna before retrying.

The attempt ended at Excadrill. I’m changing the trio to include Mienshao, which gives us a fast Fighting attacker against both Heatran and Excadrill, while keeping Cresselia for Mewtwo. The failed attempt will remain in the full journey video.

The revised team is being equipped now. Mienshao gets Wide Lens to improve High Jump Kick’s accuracy, and Magearna gets Trick Room back. I found an existing guarded move-queue script, which I’ll use for repeated setup turns when the visible matchup and HP remain safe.

Wide Lens is equipped, and the move change is finishing. I’ll start the retry from a fresh saved checkpoint and keep the first attempt’s loss clearly recorded, so neither the game state nor the archive depends on recovering an interrupted battle.

The retry has started with the new trio. The saved team and completed Aegir/Kyogre progress are also pushed to the private handoff repository. I’m checking the first attempt’s edit while the battle controls run.

Mienshao knocked out Ferrothorn in one hit. The opponent then switched Marshadow out for Nidoking, so Cresselia is taking that matchup. The first attempt’s edited footage is now published, including the loss.

The new trio has cleared Ferrothorn and Nidoking, and Magearna is finishing Marshadow after taking its Shadow Sneak. This round has been much more manageable with the faster lead and the two defensive reserves.

The retry’s first round is won. Round two opens with Doublade, so Magearna is taking over for Mienshao; I’m checking its revealed moves before committing to setup.

Doublade is down, though its boosted Iron Head cost us Magearna. Cresselia is still at full health, and Mienshao is untouched; they’re handling the remaining two Pokémon.

Rhyperior’s Megahorn hit Cresselia hard, so the guarded queue stopped automatically. I switched Mienshao into the next Megahorn, which it resists, and it’s now using High Jump Kick to finish Rhyperior.

I found a preparation issue: Mienshao still has its old HP-and-Speed support training, rather than Attack-and-Speed training. That limits its ability to finish opponents quickly. After this attempt, I’ll correct that build before another retry.

I’ve recovered the active Pavilion battle and recording. I’ll finish this attempt, then correct Mienshao’s training before retrying. Usage is at 82%, so there’s still room to continue.

The Pavilion exposes two weaknesses in this trio: Mienshao’s low Attack, and difficulty handling strong physical attackers. I’m checking the available reserves and training tools so the next attempt has a better answer to both.

The attempt ended in round two. Darkrai is already fully trained for Special Attack and Speed, making it a better immediate replacement for Mienshao. I’ll prepare its coverage moves and use it to handle the faster opponents that have been stopping us.

Darkrai’s saved build checks out: Timid, with maximum Special Attack and Speed training. I’m also locating Focus Blast for coverage against Dark and Steel types; Ice Beam would require a much longer Pokédex detour, so I’m leaving that aside.

Focus Blast is a nearby field pickup, and Heatran can handle the required climb. This also gives Magearna a reusable coverage option. The recording is healthy, with about 111 GiB free.

Darkrai is now in the party. I’m finishing the coverage-move trip, then returning directly to the Pavilion. This retry will rely on trained special attackers, with Cresselia reserved for recovery, Ground immunity, and the final matchup.

I found and fixed a travel-helper bug: it assumed every Pokémon’s field menu had the same number of options, which made Rayquaza select Surf instead of Fly. The helper now selects Fly from the freshly verified menu.

The climb is complete. I’m adding Focus Blast to Darkrai and Magearna, and replacing Cresselia’s Trick Room with Reflect. Reflect supports this faster team and gives us a better way to absorb physical attacks.

Focus Blast is collected and taught to Darkrai. I’m finishing Magearna and Cresselia’s move changes, then I’ll start the next challenge while the completed recording is processed.

The new moves are confirmed in the saved team data. I’m wrapping up Reflect and the return trip; the next challenge will use Darkrai, Magearna, and Cresselia.

The revised team is saved at the Pavilion entrance. I’m starting a fresh recording for attempt three and processing the previous session, including the loss and all preparation.

Attempt three is underway. The previous session’s review is complete: both fights, the loss, and the preparation are retained. I’m trimming the remaining verified pauses and rendering the final edit.

Darkrai has set up against the first opponent, Gligar. Its boosted Dark Pulse nearly knocked Gligar out; I’m finishing it now, with Magearna and Cresselia still untouched. Usage is at 83%.

Blaziken used priority Vacuum Wave to finish Darkrai before it could attack. Cresselia is the answer here: it resists Fighting moves and has strong special bulk. The other two team members are still healthy.

Cresselia knocked out Medicham after Jeremy switched it in. Blaziken is the last opponent, and Cresselia still has 305 HP with Magearna available as backup. Session 375 is now published and its verified temporary video files are cleaned up.

Round one is won. Cresselia finished Blaziken, and the Pavilion will heal the team before round two.

Round two is against Ace Trainer Ellen. The team is healed, and I’m checking her lead before choosing the opening move.

Focus Blast knocked out Mamoswine in one hit. Ellen’s next Pokémon is Crobat; I’m switching to Magearna, which resists its Flying attacks and is immune to Poison attacks.

I’ve recovered the active Pavilion battle and recording. Magearna is safely in against Crobat; I’m continuing from there, with 16% usage remaining and the usual reserve for saving, quitting, and finishing the videos.

Crobat is down. Ellen’s last Pokémon is Swampert, so I’m bringing in Cresselia to avoid a Ground attack and finish the round safely.

Swampert is using Toxic and Scald. Cresselia has a Calm Mind boost; I’m attacking now rather than spending more turns setting up while poison builds.

Round two is won, with all three teammates still standing. Darkrai finished Swampert after Cresselia weakened it; the Pavilion will heal the team before round three.

Round three is against Arcade Star Emilee. The team is fully restored, and I’m checking her lead before choosing the next move.

Magearna switched into Dragalge without taking damage. Its Poison and Dragon immunities give us a good chance to build Calm Mind boosts and carry them into Emilee’s remaining Pokémon.

Dragalge is laying Toxic Spikes, which won’t affect Magearna or Cresselia. I also improved the HP reader’s cropped-image fallback so harmless OCR errors won’t keep interrupting safe move sequences.

Magearna defeated Dragalge without losing HP and now has a large Special Attack boost. Emilee has sent out Bewear, which is vulnerable to Dazzling Gleam.

Round three is won. Magearna survived Bewear’s Earthquake, then knocked out both Bewear and Swellow. Two rounds remain in this attempt.

The fourth opponent is Orderly Nelson. The last round took about four minutes, and the guarded move sequences are keeping the battle pace much better.

Darkrai knocked out Sigilyph in one hit. Nelson’s Magearna is hitting harder, so I’m using Calm Mind to reduce its special damage before attacking.

Both Magearna are using Calm Mind. I’m finishing our boosts before using Focus Blast; Nelson’s earlier Fleur Cannon lowered his Special Attack, giving us some breathing room.

Our Magearna is fully boosted and still at 266/364 HP. I’ve queued a short, HP-guarded Focus Blast sequence to break the opposing Magearna.

Nelson’s Magearna is down after one miss and two successful Focus Blasts. His last Pokémon is Lucario; Cresselia is coming in fresh to handle it.

Lucario has used Swords Dance repeatedly, reaching maximum Attack. Reflect is up, but this is now the dangerous part of the round; I’m watching the damage closely and keeping Magearna available to finish it.

Round four is won. Lucario landed a critical hit through Reflect and knocked out Cresselia, but Darkrai outspeed it and finished it with Focus Blast. The final Pavilion boss is next, with the team healed again.

We’ve reached “Definitely Not Mewtwo.” I’ve frozen the actual three-Pokémon entry team for the major-fight video. The plan is to build Cresselia’s Calm Minds against Probopass, then carry those boosts through the boss team.

Cresselia is setting up safely against Probopass. I’m preserving its recovery moves for the later opponents, especially Mega Mewtwo X.

Cresselia has reached maximum Special Attack. Probopass has only chipped its HP, so I’m healing once and starting the Psychic attacks.

Probopass is down, and Mewtwo has come out second. Cresselia still has 428/444 HP and its boosts; I’m putting up Reflect before attacking.

Mewtwo’s first Ice Punch froze Cresselia before Reflect went up. I’m attempting Moonlight while waiting for a thaw, with an HP limit so the script stops before Cresselia gets too low.

Cresselia thawed and recovered to full HP. I’m resuming Reflect and Psychic now; both reserve Pokémon are still untouched.

Mega Mewtwo X is down. Only Amoonguss remains, and Cresselia still has its full offensive boosts.

The Pavilion is cleared on our third full attempt. Cresselia beat the entire final boss team without bag items. I’m saving this milestone and reconciling the recording before heading toward Neoteric Isle.

I’ll stop gameplay here, finish the Pavilion exit, save and quit, then verify and finalize the journey and major-fight recordings.

The game is saved and fully closed. The Pavilion clear is preserved at the Nightclub, and I’m now editing and checking the closed recording plus the new boss chapter.

The first edit preserves all five rounds and the Pavilion clear. I’m checking the remaining idle cuts and the boss’s roster panel, then I’ll append the verified footage and remove the consumed temporary files.

The session is now a little over five minutes of edited footage, with all five battles retained. The journey append passed decoding checks; I’m finishing the separate “Definitely Not Mewtwo” chapter and the final backup.

The boss chapter’s visuals are checked: the actual level-100 team, three full Pavilion attempts, and no bag items are shown correctly. The final archive is undergoing its decode and unchanged-prefix checks before cleanup.

The game and recorder remain closed. The new major archive is rendered; its full-file verification is still running. After that, I’ll delete the consumed source files and push the updated save and resume notes.

Both videos passed verification, including preservation of the previously published footage. The consumed session sources are being cleaned up, and I’m syncing the final save and handoff.

Saved and fully quit after clearing the Pavilion.
