Task 30
October 14, 2026 · 10:57–20:28 EDT · 9h 31m 26s · Sessions 377–387 · 234 messages
Wednesday, October 14
I’ll resume from the saved Pavilion clear, check current usage, and continue toward Neoteric Isle. At 5% remaining, I’ll reach a proper save point, quit the game, and finalize the recordings.
Usage is currently at 0%, and the saved file matches the verified Pavilion-clear backup. The fresh recording is running; I’m loading that save and speaking to the Ringmaster next.
The Ringmaster has confirmed the new door beneath Tanzan Mountain. Before entering, I’m checking the clone encounter’s rules so we can prepare a reliable team instead of fighting a stronger copy of our usual party.
The Nightclub save is verified, and recording 377 is running. Usage is at 1% used. I’m preparing for Neoteric Isle’s clone battle and the Mew/Mewtwo anomaly, with time reserved at 5% remaining to finish the recordings and save/quit properly.
The clone copies our party’s moves and items, but gets maximum EVs in every stat. I’m checking whether a small, deliberately prepared party can turn that advantage against it before we assemble the stronger team for Mew and Mewtwo.
Latios is now in the party, and we’re heading to the Move Deleter. The installed clone routine confirms it copies the exact moveset, so I’m preparing Memento as its only option and checking the battle mechanics before committing.
Memento’s mechanics are confirmed: the user still faints even if the stat drop fails. I’m also checking the route’s field-move requirements so we don’t strand the prepared party on the way in.
The direct route through the old Steelix tunnels appears to avoid the Rock Climb detour. Once Latios’s moves are ready, I’ll use the PC at Belrose Manse to leave the other five safely boxed and test the clone with a fresh save nearby.
Latios now knows only Memento. The preparation is saved; next is the trip to Tanzan Cove, a PC stop, and the clone encounter. The main anomaly fight will get a separate team preparation phase.
We’ve reached Belrose Manse. Disk space is still healthy at about 106 GiB free. I’m keeping the clone preparation separate from the main team so the latter’s trained builds remain intact.
The PC stop is underway. I’m placing the five regular party members together in an empty box so restoring the team afterward is straightforward.
The clone plan should need no battle items: its copied Latios will be faster, so its only move, Memento, should make it faint first. I’ll verify that from the actual battle rather than treating the calculation as a win.
We’re moving through Tanzan now. For the main fight, the installed roster confirms a 12-on-6 battle with both Mega Mewtwo forms. I’m planning around Trick Room, defensive support, and Magearna’s boosted Dazzling Gleam rather than a long sequence of item use.
Usage is now 4% used, so there’s plenty of room to continue. The route helper is handling the cave travel and renewing Repels normally; I’m using that time to verify the main fight’s team options.
We’re at the final tunnel leading into Neoteric Isle. I’ve also confirmed that our captured Kyogre is still untrained at level 120; bringing it up to the cap could give us a much stronger opening against the anomaly’s two Rock-type leads.
Neoteric Isle is reached and saved. Its outdoor path uses transfers between separate map sections, so I’m checking those transitions before approaching the clone’s trigger.
The first obstacle was a scripted passage behind a waterfall. I crossed it normally and added that verified crossing to the route planner, which should make the return trip and later visits smoother.
We’ve made it through the island’s outer loop. I’m approaching the clone chamber next, with the one-Pokémon setup saved and the rest of the team safely stored.
The clone encounter has started. I’m checking the copied Latios and the first command screen, then testing the Memento plan.
Alter Clone is defeated on the first attempt, in one turn with no items used. Its faster Latios used Memento and fainted; ours stayed at full health.
The clone victory is saved. We have a valid Escape Rope return point at Tanzan Cove, so I’m using that to cut out the long walk back and start the main team’s preparation.
The Escape Rope returned us to Tanzan Cove as expected. I’m restoring the core team and adding Kyogre for training. Magearna and Cresselia will also get a few targeted move and item changes for the doubles fight.
Back at the PC now. The planned changes are focused: a trained Kyogre to control weather, Trick Room and Reflect support from Cresselia, and Protect plus recovery for Magearna. This should give us more room to handle the full twelve-Pokémon fight.
The training team is assembled and saved. I’m closing recording 377 at this natural break and starting the next capture; the game stays open. I’ll reconcile the finished segment while the bounded training scripts run.
The next capture is verified and recording 377’s edit is rendering. One preparation detail needs adjusting: we don’t own the Rest or Ice Beam TMs, so I’m checking the available alternatives before adding unnecessary detours.
The BP shop has inexpensive nature mints, so I’m correcting four builds there. I’ve also tightened two menu checks that were stopping on harmless OCR spacing and partially drawn text; the purchase guards still verify the item before confirming.
I’m resuming the team preparation after the clone victory and finishing the previous recording’s review alongside it. Usage is at 10% used, so there is plenty of room before the 5% remaining cutoff.
The clone fight is safely preserved in the journey footage. The next team changes focus on Trick Room, defensive natures, and a fully trained Kyogre so the upcoming double battle depends less on consumable items.
The previous recording has passed its visual review and is being appended to video 29 with the existing footage preserved. The preparation queue is applying the nature changes now; I also prepared a bounded EV-training script that verifies Kyogre’s stats against normal saves after each block.
I caught one issue in the earlier build plan: Magearna cannot relearn Draining Kiss in this installed version. I’m dropping that step and keeping its proven attacks while building the team around Trick Room and Kyogre. Video 29 is now updated through the clone victory, and its consumed source files have been cleaned up.
The nature changes are complete, and the move-teaching queue is progressing normally. I’m checking the opening matchup while it runs: Reflect should help Cresselia establish Trick Room, then Kyogre can remove Tyranitar’s sand and attack both opponents.
The moves and natures are saved and verified. The team is heading to the Grand Hall for four short training fights to earn Kyogre’s level-up candies; its planned full-strength Water Spout can knock out either opening opponent, provided we get it into position safely.
The first candy-reward fight is underway with Zapdos using the already tested Discharge plan. There is still about 106 GiB free, and the recording is active; the completed previous session has been reconciled.
Zapdos has cleared the first four opponents without losing HP. The remaining preparation is straightforward: finish the candy rewards, train Kyogre’s HP and Special Attack, then restore the boss team and restock capture balls for Mew and Mewtwo.
The first training reward is banked: 12 XL candies, with Kyogre’s EVs still clean. The second fight is progressing. I also verified that the upcoming anomaly encounter has a separate post-battle stage, so we can use a normal save before handling the legendary captures.
Two training rounds are complete, bringing the candy stock to 37 XL. For the later captures, Magearna can temporarily learn our owned False Swipe TM, which should let us weaken both legendaries safely without another PC trip.
The third round is on its last opponent, with Zapdos still at full HP. The recording remains healthy, and usage is only 12% used.
The fourth and final candy-reward fight has started. After it, I’ll move directly into Kyogre’s two short EV-training blocks and level it to 145.
All four training opponents have been defeated; the final reward dialogue is finishing. Kyogre reached level 121 from shared experience, which slightly reduces the candy requirement.
The candy stock is now 61 XL, and all four rounds are saved. Kyogre is learning Scald for reliable training attacks; the next two blocks will verify 252 HP and 252 Special Attack before spending candies.
Kyogre is entering the HP-training grass with a Power Weight. I’ve also mapped the boss’s automatic trigger so the pre-fight save and recording markers will be in place before the cutscene starts.
The last Repel has worn off. The training helper stopped safely because there were no Repels left to offer for renewal; I’m handling that harmless menu case and resuming the HP block from the current position.
Kyogre has started winning the HP-training encounters with Scald. The script checks each public battle result and will verify the accumulated EVs at the next save before moving on.
I found a useful improvement in the installed mechanics: Amplifield Rock extends Trick Room to eight turns. I’ll move Magearna’s rock to Cresselia and give Magearna the speed-reducing Power Weight, giving the team a much longer attacking window.
Six of the eight HP-training wins are complete, with no item use needed. Once that block is saved, the same script will switch to the Power Lens for Special Attack.
Kyogre’s HP block is complete and saved: exactly 252 HP EVs, with the other stats still untouched. It’s returning for a heal and the Power Lens before the Special Attack block.
The Power Lens is equipped and the second training block is starting. After leveling, I’ll rotate the recording at the saved preparation checkpoint and continue toward Neoteric Isle while the closed segment is edited.
The Special Attack block is halfway through. The helper correctly avoided an unapproved Raticate encounter and continued with the safer targets; Kyogre remains at full HP.
Seven of eight Special Attack wins are complete. The preparation is nearly finished; I’m keeping the planned opening rather than adding more training detours.
Both EV blocks are verified: 252 HP and 252 Special Attack. The exact experience calculation calls for 53 XL candies to reach level 145, leaving eight in reserve.
Kyogre is now level 145, fully trained and healed. I’m rotating the recording at this save, then finishing the held items, Light Screen, and capture supplies before heading back to the island.
The new recording is running with clean game-only framing. Kyogre has its Blue Orb back, and the remaining team setup is running while the training footage renders for review.
I’m checking the active preparation script and recording state, then I’ll continue the playthrough. I’ll reserve the final usage for a verified save-and-quit and recording reconciliation.
Kyogre’s training is complete, and the team is being equipped for the Mewtwo/Mew encounter. The previous recording is rendering with only verified idle pauses removed; all training battles remain in the journey.
The revised training footage passed its visual and decode checks and is being added to video 29. The boss team now has dual screens and extended Trick Room support, with trained Kyogre and Magearna as the main attackers.
Video 29 is now reconciled through session 378, and its consumed raw files have been cleaned up. The team is saved and fully healed; the remaining supply purchase is Timer Balls for catching both legendaries after the boss.
The supply run is complete. I’m heading back to Neoteric Isle, with a save planned immediately before the main encounter so a failed attempt won’t cost the preparation work.
A wild encounter interrupted the route, and the navigation guard stopped correctly. I’m fleeing and applying Repel before continuing; the boss has not started.
The return trip is progressing through Tanzan Mountain under Repel. Recording remains healthy, and there’s about 105 GiB free, so storage is not a constraint right now.
The team is crossing the remaining cave route. I’ve also checked the capture plan: both Mew and Mewtwo are separate encounters after the boss, so I can save before each and avoid risking a one-time capture.
We’re nearly back at Neoteric Isle. The next steps are Fern’s short scene, a fresh save before the trigger, and then the Mewtwo/Mew boss attempt.
The outdoor route is clear, and we’re entering the laboratory. The boss approach script stops before the trigger, so I can verify the exact starting team and register the attempt before battle begins.
We’re back inside and saved. I also corrected the route helper’s handling of doors with several short animation waits, which caused an unnecessary stop on entry.
Fern’s scene is complete. I’m at the final corridor now; the opening plan is Reflect and Protect, then Trick Room and Calm Mind, with each turn checked before the next commands.
The first Mewtwo/Mew attempt is underway. The opening pair is Tyranitar and Terrakion, as planned; I’m setting physical protection before committing to the sweep.
Reflect and the eight-turn Trick Room are up, and Magearna has its Calm Mind boost. Cresselia has taken the opening damage; the next turn adds Light Screen while Magearna starts attacking both opponents.
Both opponents survived the first Gleam, and Terrakion hit harder than hoped. I’m switching Cresselia out for Primal Kyogre; removing the sand should let Magearna finish both leads before they act again.
Tyranitar, Terrakion, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Necrozma are down. Magearna fell to Moongeist Beam, so Rayquaza is coming in to suppress Groudon’s weather and keep Kyogre’s Water attacks usable.
Primal Groudon and Mega Mewtwo X are down too. Kyogre and Mega Rayquaza are keeping the attack moving under Trick Room; no bag items have been used.
Seven opponents are down. Rayquaza traded for their Magearna but fell to Meloetta’s Rainbow Field attack; Heatran is now helping Kyogre clear the remaining team before Trick Room expires.
Kommo-o and Meloetta are down, leaving Lunala, Keldeo, and Mew. Trick Room is nearing its end, so I’m checking the safest way to handle Lunala’s bulk without losing the remaining attackers.
I’m using a Revive on Magearna while Kyogre protects. Restoring Trick Room is the better route through these last three than trying to race them after it expires.
Trick Room is restored, and the temporary Rainbow Field has ended. I’m protecting and healing Magearna so it can finish the fight, with Amoonguss ready to put Lunala to sleep.
Lunala is asleep and Keldeo is down. Only Lunala and Mew remain, and Magearna has regained its offensive boosts.
Mewtwo and Mew are beaten on the first attempt—13 turns, using one Revive and two Ultra Potions. I’ll save after the scene, prepare for both captures, and add this victory to the postgame major-fights collection.
The victory is recorded and the item count is confirmed from the completed battle log. I’m using the unused healing shard, then giving Magearna False Swipe for controlled captures.
The team is fully healed, and the boss victory is safely saved. I’m finishing the capture moveset, then rotating the recording so the boss footage can be edited while gameplay continues.
Recording 380 is active and its framing is verified. I’ve saved immediately before Mewtwo’s capture encounter; meanwhile, session 379’s edit is ready for visual review.
I’m resuming the Mewtwo capture and checking the recording work already in progress. I’ll continue to the 5% remaining threshold, then save, quit, and finish reconciling the videos.
Mewtwo is weakened, and Magearna is safely handling its attacks. Usage is at 28% used, so there’s ample room to continue. The previous anomaly victory is also moving through the video review process.
Mewtwo is now at roughly 2% HP, and the Timer Ball attempts are underway. I’ve reviewed the new video cuts; I’m keeping the scripted story animation intact and removing only confirmed pauses.
Video 29 now includes the Neoteric boss victory, with its earlier footage verified unchanged. The separate major-fight entry has the correct three team columns, one attempt, and exact item totals. Mewtwo has broken out of several balls; Magearna remains healthy.
The boss compilation is undergoing its final decode and prefix checks. I’m also checking the next quest requirements while the capture helper works through a bounded set of throws, so the next route is ready once Mewtwo is secured.
Mewtwo is caught—nine Timer Balls and one healing item, with no reset. I’m saving that capture before moving on to Mew.
Mewtwo’s capture is saved and verified. Mew’s encounter is now active; I’m using False Swipe to weaken it safely, with Amoonguss available for sleep support.
Amoonguss is taking Mew’s Aura Sphere comfortably, so it can handle the rest of this capture with sleep and recovery. Disk space is still healthy at about 105 GiB free.
The Neoteric anomaly victory is fully published in both archives, and its consumed source files are cleaned up. Mew is weakened and sleep-supported now. Usage is at 30% used.
Mew was caught on the first Timer Ball after weakening and sleep. Both legendaries are secured; I’m restoring Magearna’s battle moves and returning to the Nightclub to confirm the next quest.
The next unfinished branch is the desert’s Zygarde quest, followed by the remaining Rhodochrine anomalies. Our cap is still 145. I’m checking the existing quest state and supplies before choosing the team for that route.
Only one Zygarde cell has been collected so far. I’m planning a short cell-gathering route and preparing Mewtwo for the Glitch Field battles; its Amnesia and Psystrike combination should give us a much stronger option there than relying on healing items.
Both captures are saved, the team is healed, and the desert quest is accepted. I’m preserving this checkpoint in the handoff, then preparing Mewtwo and gathering the minimum cells needed to advance.
I found ten available cells clustered in the Underroot, which gives us a much shorter collection route. Mewtwo’s team preparation is underway while I finish reviewing the capture footage.
Mewtwo is now in the party with a Timid nature. I’m adding Recover and Flamethrower, then training its HP and Special Defense for the Glitch Field matchup. The capture video is fully reconciled and published.
I’m continuing from the Mewtwo preparation. I’ll keep an eye on usage and leave enough to finish the recordings and verify a proper save and quit.
Mewtwo has Recover now, and the move setup is finishing. I’m building it for sustained fights on the Glitch field before heading into the Zygarde quest. Usage is at 34% used.
The saved move check confirms Psystrike, Recover, Flamethrower and Amnesia. Next is EV training and leveling to 145; the guarded training scripts will stop if an unexpected matchup or menu appears.
Mewtwo’s move setup is saved and its HP training is underway. I’ve also checked the upcoming Glitch teams: Amnesia should help here because the field uses the higher of Special Attack and Special Defense for both special offense and defense.
I found ten available Zygarde cells clustered in the Underroot and prepared a guarded collection route. They should let us skip one of the door battles and give us enough cells to assemble Zygarde’s first form.
Training has started cleanly, and there’s about 105 GiB of disk space free. The finished archives are reconciled through recording 380; recording 381 is capturing this preparation.
The HP training block is progressing without healing items. I’m using the time between battles to check the next route and archive handoff so we can move on promptly once training finishes.
The roster check exposed a reason to adjust the build: several later opponents have fast physical attackers. I’ll give Mewtwo HP and Speed training, with Amnesia handling special bulk, so it can act first against threats such as Tauros.
Mewtwo is six battles into the eight-battle HP block. The weak wild encounters are going smoothly; after the Speed block, I’ll use Grand Hall’s candy rewards to bring it to level 145.
HP training is verified at 252 EVs, and the Speed block is starting. I also caught a handoff error: the save shows the desert quest was not activated by the earlier Marcello visit. I’ll fix that before traveling to the quest area.
The completed Neoteric footage and catch records are now backed up in the handoff repository. Mewtwo’s second training block is underway; next I’ll earn the remaining candy and verify the finished level-145 build.
The handoff push is complete at commit
7b12ed24, and usage is 36% used. I found that the old shortcut to the cell cluster is closed at this story stage, so I’m weighing that detour against simply taking the extra Glitch battle.The Zygarde anomaly’s team also supports the Mewtwo plan: it includes several special attackers and bulky Pokémon that Psystrike can target through their physical Defense. I’ll keep backup options for anything Mewtwo cannot safely handle.
The Speed block is nearly finished, and Mewtwo is still healthy without using bag medicine. Once the saved EV check passes, I’ll run the three Grand Hall training fights and apply the candy.
Mewtwo’s EVs are verified: 252 HP and 252 Speed. The leveling queue is running now. For the anomaly battle, I’m keeping Cresselia’s Light Screen available to help Mewtwo set up against Kyurem’s strong opening attacks.
The leveling script stopped safely because Silva isn’t available in the Grand Hall’s current trainer lineup. No battle started. I’ll check the trainer who is present and adapt the candy routine.
Silva is present after all—the route snapshot had stale weekday flags. A fresh normal save updated them, and the training queue has resumed. The stop happened before any battle input.
The first Grand Hall battle is underway. Zapdos is handling the reviewed lineup at full health; these fights provide the candy needed to finish Mewtwo’s leveling.
First training battle won, with 12 XL Candy awarded. Two more rounds should cover the remaining levels, and the game heals the team after each reward.
The second training round is progressing normally. I’ve prepared the next queue to remove Mewtwo’s Speed-reducing training item, restore Cresselia, and verify the party before leaving for the desert.
Two training wins are verified, bringing the stock to 32 XL Candy. The third round is starting; its reward will give us enough to finish Mewtwo at the current cap.
The third training fight is won. The queue will now apply the candy and verify Mewtwo’s level, moves, EVs and health in a normal save before the final party swap.
The candy calculation required 34 XL, leaving 10 in reserve. Mewtwo has reached 145; the queue is healing the party and saving the final verification now.
The event code confirms that the Glitch door battles run consecutively without a normal break. I’m adjusting the team for the whole sequence, including move PP, rather than relying on Mewtwo to handle every round alone.
Mewtwo is ready at level 145 with 598 HP and 569 Speed, and Marcello’s quest dialogue is now visibly active. I’m also bringing our already-trained Mega Latias to share the five-battle sequence and preserve Mewtwo’s PP for later rounds.
Marcello’s quest activation is now verified in the save. I’m finishing Latias’s Protect setup for the Explosion users and checking PP supplies before committing to all five rounds.
The team preparation is saved. I’m rotating the recording here and starting the edit of this preparation segment, so gameplay and archive work can continue together. The game will stay open.
I found an uncollected Max Elixir nearby and a PP Up on the route through Obsidia. Those will give Mewtwo enough PP for the sequence, alongside Latias, without a long collection detour. Recording 381 is rendering while we collect them.
I’m picking up the team preparation and recording reconciliation already in progress. I’ll check the live state and usage first, then continue toward the next fights while keeping enough reserve for a verified save, quit, and archive closeout.
Usage is at 44% used. Mewtwo and Latias are now trained to level 145, and the PP supplies are collected. The next door challenge runs five battles consecutively, so I’m preparing for the whole sequence before entering.
The previous recording’s edit review is complete: all training fights are retained, and the extra cuts remove only stationary waits. I’m appending it to video 29 while taking the train toward the Twilight Desert.
Video 29 now includes the latest training session and has passed full decoding and prefix checks. The desert arrival is saved. The battle plan uses Mewtwo’s Amnesia and Psystrike, with Mega Latias covering the rounds where Stored Power is better suited.
The route helper stopped at an obstacle in the Twilight Desert. I’m checking the visible path before resuming; the recording and save are intact.
The shorter movement steps got us through the desert, and the team is saved beside Terra. I’m finishing her introductory scene, then starting the five-round challenge from that checkpoint.
Terra’s explanation is complete. I’m saving after the dialogue, before accepting the battle chain, so a retry won’t require replaying the scene. Once the sequence starts, I’ll keep the same uninterrupted attempt through all five fights.
The first battle is underway against Roserade. Mewtwo is setting up Amnesia; the helper will stop if the opponent, active Pokémon, or health falls outside the reviewed plan.
Roserade hit harder than expected, so the health guard paused setup. Two Recovers stabilized Mewtwo, and all three Amnesias are now in place. I’m moving through the first team without using bag healing items.
Jirachi exposed an error in my matchup plan: Glitch changes Steel-type moves, but Jirachi keeps its Steel typing and heavily resists Psystrike. I’ve switched to Flamethrower and corrected the later Dark-type matchups too.
Round one is won, with Mewtwo back at full health and no bag items used. Mega Latias is next; I’ll use Protect for Lickilicky’s Explosion and switch to Kyogre for Tyranitar.
Araquanid froze Latias during setup, and the recovery guard stopped further turns. I’m bringing in Kyogre to handle it, keeping Latias available for later once its freeze is cured.
Kyogre has beaten Araquanid. Tyranitar came out next, so I’m keeping Kyogre in for Scald and watching its health closely; Latias remains preserved for the later rounds.
Tyranitar is down. Cresselia has put up Light Screen against Victini, giving me a safer turn to restore Mewtwo’s PP and bring it back in. The team is still intact.
Mewtwo is now attacking Victini behind its Amnesia boosts. After Victini, only the Explosion-only Lickilicky remains in this round; Kyogre still has Protect ready.
Round two is won. Protect blocked Lickilicky’s Explosion exactly as planned. All six Pokémon are still alive, and the third battle is starting.
Mewtwo has reached maximum Special Defense against Rotom. I’m using Psystrike through the opponent’s Light Screen, with Flamethrower reserved for the more vulnerable targets to conserve PP for the last rounds.
Rotom, Exeggutor, Tauros, and Swellow are down. Swellow’s Boomburst outdamaged Recover, so I stopped the healing loop and finished it with Flamethrower. Hoopa is the last opponent in round three.
Round three is won without bag items. Before attacking in round four, I’m using Carbink’s quieter opening to cure Latias and restore the backup attackers’ health.
Latias’s freeze is cured and its health is restored enough to re-enter safely. Cresselia is finishing the planned heals for Kyogre; then Latias will set up against Carbink.
Latias is building up safely against Carbink now, and Kyogre has been healed for Muk. Usage is at 52% used, so there’s still room to continue beyond this chain before the final save and archive closeout.
Muk came in immediately after Carbink, as expected. Cresselia’s Reflect is up, and Kyogre is taking over that matchup. Latias’s single attacking move leaves a coverage gap here; I’ll restore Surf after this chain.
Muk landed a critical hit through Reflect on Kyogre, so I switched to the fresh Rayquaza. It’s using Dragon Ascent to finish the matchup while Reflect is still active.
Ninetales froze Mewtwo too. Cresselia has taken over, and Ninetales has now used four of its five Blizzards. I also tightened the battle helper so it stops immediately on a frozen active Pokémon instead of attempting another move.
Ninetales has exhausted Blizzard, and Mewtwo is cured. I also found that battle turbo was off; it’s now visibly enabled. Latias is rebuilding its boosts against the safer remaining moves.
Latias’s Stored Power has cleared Ninetales, Whimsicott, and Mega Slowbro. Landorus is the last opponent in round four. The boosted setup is paying off now that Muk is out of the way.
The final round is underway. Mewtwo beat Xurkitree in two attacks before it could use its Tail Glow boost. Regice came out next, so I’m putting it to sleep before continuing the setup.
Regice is down, and the whole team is still alive. Latias is taking over against Diancie with enough Calm Mind and Stored Power PP left for the four remaining opponents.
Latias has finished its setup for the last four opponents. After this final round, I’ll use the nearby PC to fully restore the team and save before preparing for the Zygarde anomaly.
All five Glitch battles are won on the first uninterrupted attempt, with all six Pokémon surviving. I’m finishing Terra’s scene, restoring the team at the PC, and saving before the anomaly fight.
The five-battle Glitch run is complete. I’m checking the scene transition, then I’ll save, heal the team, and prepare for Zygarde while the recording is processed.
The post-chain save is verified. I’m restoring everyone’s HP and move uses at the PC, and adding coverage so the next fight doesn’t depend on repeated item use. Recording 382 is now being edited in the background.
The next gate needs a 50% Zygarde before the anomaly can begin. I also caught and corrected a turbo-toggle mismatch that was causing navigation to overshoot; movement is back to normal speed.
The PC recovery is progressing through all six team members. We already have enough Zygarde cells for the required form, so there’s no collection detour. The five Glitch victories will stay in video 29; the anomaly will also get its own major-fight chapter.
All six are fully healed, their move uses are restored, and the revised moves are saved. Recording 382 has passed its visual checks and full decode, and is appended to video 29. I’m assembling Zygarde and advancing Terra’s next scene now.
Video 29 is reconciled through the entire Glitch run. The completed logs confirm no losses or revives across the five fights. I’m taking the short route to the separate assembly room, then returning with Zygarde for the final gate.
Zygarde has been assembled successfully. Cresselia is safely boxed while I upgrade Zygarde and hand it to Terra; I’ll restore the full battle team before triggering the anomaly. About 37% usage remains.
Zygarde’s 50% form is ready. For the anomaly team, I’m giving Mewtwo Thunderbolt alongside Psystrike and Calm Mind, covering the opposing Gyarados without forcing a switch and losing its boosts.
Terra has opened the remaining gates. The battle plan is to use Cresselia’s Light Screen, then let Mewtwo set up and attack with Psystrike or Thunderbolt. The team is restored; I’m finishing the last move change and saving at the battle entrance.
Thunderbolt’s TM isn’t currently in the bag—the inventory entry was historical. I’m using our owned Charge Beam instead; it provides the same Electric coverage and can further raise Mewtwo’s Special Attack.
The full team is saved immediately before the anomaly trigger. I’m entering the fight now, with bounded battle scripts ready to handle the setup and routine turns quickly.
The opening worked: Light Screen is up, and Mewtwo has three Calm Mind boosts with plenty of HP remaining. I’m finishing the setup, then the script will attack through the reviewed matchups and stop if anything unexpected happens.
Kyurem landed a critical Blizzard that knocked out Mewtwo through its boosts. Kyogre is coming in to absorb the Ice attacks while I revive Mewtwo; I’ll use a shorter setup on the return.
I’m resuming the Zygarde battle from the current position. I’ll keep an eye on usage and reserve the final portion for a verified save and quit, recording edits, and archive checks.
The current attempt has lost its setup advantage. I’m reloading the prebattle save and shortening Mewtwo’s setup so Kyurem has fewer opportunities to knock it out.
The retry is recorded as attempt two, and the first attempt will remain in the journey video. There’s about 105 GiB free, so storage is sufficient for continuing and finishing the edits.
Mewtwo is taking over behind Light Screen. This time I’ll attack after a few Calm Minds, preserving recovery turns for the rest of the opposing team.
Kyurem is down, and Mewtwo still has its boosts. Gyarados is next; Charge Beam covers its Psychic immunity.
Gyarados is down too. Mewtwo has enough health to continue, and the remaining team is vulnerable to Psystrike; the battle helper will pause on status problems or unexpected prompts.
Zygarde, Deoxys, and Chansey have fallen. Only Toxapex remains, with Mewtwo still healthy and no bag items used in this retry.
Anomaly Zygarde is beaten on attempt two. All six teammates survived the winning attempt, with no bag items used. I’m finishing the reward scene, then I’ll save and reconcile this recording before moving on.
Zygarde has rejoined our collection, and the completion save is verified. I’m processing recording 383 while preparing the return route to the Nightclub for the next assignment.
The completed battle log confirms zero bag-item use in the win. Zygarde is safely stored, and I’m returning to heal and check the next story gate while the video render runs.
The team is back at the Nightclub for healing. The recording review also confirmed the first attempt’s critical Blizzard knockout; both attempts are retained, and the winning fight is ready to be added to the major-fights collection.
The next route is clear: Zygarde can remove the barriers in the Rhodochrine tree. That opens the remaining Xerneas and Yveltal encounters, so I’m bringing it to Shelly and checking those fights before committing.
Video 29 now includes the Zygarde preparation, reset, and victory, with idle pauses trimmed. The separate victory chapter shows “2 attempts” and “Items: None”; its full archive verification is running.
Zygarde’s chapter is now verified in the postgame collection, bringing it to 78 victories. Its consumed source files have been cleaned up. Shelly’s barrier-removal scene is underway.
The barriers are gone. For the upcoming double battle, I’m bringing back our trained Magearna: its Soul-Heart boosts after knockouts and Trick Room support fit this fight well alongside Kyogre.
I’m resuming the team preparation and will keep playing until usage reaches 5% remaining, then save, quit the game, and finish reconciling the recordings.
The rebuilt team is ready: Magearna and Kyogre will lead against Noel and Xerneas, with Trick Room and spread attacks planned for their twelve Pokémon. I’m replenishing basic supplies and heading back to the summit.
The previous Zygarde victory is already archived in both the journey and major-fights videos. There’s about 105 GiB free, and the current recording is healthy. The next battle’s Psychic Terrain strengthens Calm Mind, which should help this team win without relying heavily on items.
Supplies are restocked. I’m returning to Noel and Xerneas now; the team and recording are ready for the next attempt.
The return route is progressing normally through Beryl. I’ll save at the summit before starting the fight, so a failed attempt can restart there directly.
Heather’s shortcut is on a disconnected part of the jungle, so I’m taking the Underroot passage to reach it. The route helper stopped safely before sending any invalid interaction.
I found the navigation issue: an old note had Heather’s position from her earlier flight scene. A fresh save corrected the map snapshot, and the route now reaches her properly.
We’re back on the summit. I’m refreshing the saved map state before the battle approach; the team is still fully healed.
Xerneas comes down from its perch when approached; I’ve found the correct trigger. Once it lands, I’ll save immediately before the encounter and begin the planned doubles strategy.
The battle has started with the expected Ribombee and Cosmoem leads. Magearna will establish Trick Room while Kyogre protects, then we’ll begin boosting and attacking both opponents.
Trick Room is up. Water Spout reduced Ribombee to its Focus Sash, and Magearna has its first boosted Calm Mind. I’m finishing Ribombee while strengthening Kyogre for the rest of the team.
Four opponents are down, and Magearna has reached maximum Special Attack through Soul-Heart. Both leads are still standing; Xerneas and Tapu Lele are next. No items used so far.
Ten of their twelve Pokémon are down. Magearna and Kyogre have handled every knockout, and we still haven’t used a bag item. Only Mew and Blaziken remain.
Noel and Xerneas are beaten on the first attempt: eight turns, no items, and all six Pokémon survived. I’m collecting Xerneas, then preparing for Yveltal while this recording is finalized.
Xerneas is safely stored, and the win is saved. I’ve started editing that recording in the background. For Yveltal, I’m switching to Mega Latias, whose recovery and boosted defenses should make the singles battle much more stable.
The team is fully healed again. Yveltal also has a scripted landing sequence, so I’m approaching that trigger while reviewing the previous recording’s edits.
Yveltal’s battle uses Starlight Arena, so Calm Mind rises one stage at a time here. Latias is building up safely with Recover. During video review, I also caught an automatic trim overlapping Xerneas’s landing animation; I’m restoring that sequence.
I’m resuming the Yveltal fight and the pending recording review. Usage is at 81% used; I’ll stop gameplay at 95% used and reserve the remainder for a verified save, quit, and archive cleanup.
The Xerneas recording is reviewed, including its entrance animation and all eight winning turns. Latias is now handling Lunala; I’m checking its defensive setup before committing more Stored Power PP.
Lunala’s boosted defenses stalled Stored Power, and its field-boosted Moongeist Beam knocked out Darkrai on the switch. Kyogre is setting up now; I’m adjusting around that damage rather than spending more turns on ineffective attacks.
A critical hit ended Kyogre’s setup. I’ve reset that attempt and kept it in the journey recording. For the retry, Magearna will set up against Cresselia and use Trick Room so Lunala cannot build its defenses first.
Magearna’s setup is progressing, and Xerneas is now appended to Video 29. The separate major-fight chapter has the verified teams, one attempt, and zero items; its final compilation check is running.
Magearna has beaten Cresselia with its boosts intact. Yveltal came in next, giving us a strong Dazzling Gleam matchup while Trick Room is still active.
Yveltal is down, and Darkrai finished Lunala after Magearna weakened it. Three opposing Pokémon remain, with five of ours still healthy.
Xerneas used Geomancy repeatedly, so I’m strengthening Kyogre’s defenses before attacking. The Xerneas archive checks have passed, and its consumed temporary recording files are cleaned up.
Psyshock bypassed Kyogre’s special-defense boosts, so that approach failed. I’m retrying with Magearna protected on both defenses and made faster than the opposing team, which should prevent the setup race that caused these losses.
Magearna now has the intended speed and defensive boosts, with its special attack restored after Moonblast drops. I’ve also identified a cleaner plan for Eclipse: Mewtwo’s existing speed training plus Safeguard should stop Toxic from disrupting its setup.
Yveltal’s anomaly battle is won on attempt three, with all six Pokémon surviving. I’m recording the victory boundary, then catching Yveltal before preparing for Eclipse.
Yveltal is safely weakened. I’m using sleep and Heavy Balls for the capture, then I’ll save and rotate the recording before the next fight.
Yveltal was caught with the first Heavy Ball. I’m saving that result now. The team only needs modest healing and one move change for Eclipse, so I can prepare here without a town detour.
The team is healed, Mewtwo has Safeguard, and the pre-Eclipse save is verified. I’m entering that fight while finishing the review of Yveltal’s recording, including both failed attempts and the successful capture.
We’re at 10% usage remaining. Eclipse’s encounter is underway, and I’m finishing the previous recording’s review alongside it. I’ll stop gameplay at 5% remaining and reserve that for a proper save, quit, and archive closeout.
Eclipse’s battle has started. Mewtwo is set up to block Milotic’s Toxic and build Calm Mind boosts; this should give us a stronger route through her team without relying on bag items.
Milotic hit much harder than expected, so I used one defensive item to keep Mewtwo alive while it recovers. The Yveltal footage is now added to video 29; its major-fight chapter correctly shows three attempts and six items used in the winning attempt.
Mewtwo is stable now: Safeguard is blocking Toxic, and it has three Calm Mind boosts. I’m tracking Safeguard’s five-turn window so the setup can continue safely.
Mewtwo has reached six Calm Mind boosts at full health. I’ve started the attack sequence, with automatic recovery if its health drops below 70%.
Milotic and Lunala are down. Mewtwo survived Lunala’s big hit, recovered, and is continuing through the remaining team. I also found the follow-up event that awards both Mewtwo Mega Stones.
Necrozma’s Recycle–Wish–Protect loop is stalling Psystrike, so I’ve stopped that attack sequence. I’m switching to Magearna, whose Steel attack can hit it without Psychic resistance.
Magearna drew Photon Geyser, which let Darkrai switch in unharmed. I’m trying Dark Void to interrupt the healing loop. The earlier footage is fully verified and its consumed temporary media has been cleaned up.
Darkrai woke Necrozma’s attack too soon and fainted, so I’m resetting this attempt. The revised plan uses Mega Latias with Safeguard and Stored Power: after setup, Stored Power should have enough damage to break Necrozma’s healing loop outright.
Latias has learned Safeguard. I’m saving the revised team before the retry; the failed attempt will remain in the journey video, and the major-fight chapter will show the full attempt count.
The failed attempt’s edit is reviewed: battle actions, the reset, and team preparation are retained; stationary waits are trimmed. The retry is moving through Eclipse’s introduction while that export finishes verification.
The revised team is saved, and the previous recording is fully reconciled. Latias’s setup will also strengthen Stored Power through the Speed boost, which helps against Necrozma’s Rainbow Field defenses.
Usage is at 6% remaining, so this retry will be the last battle of the session. After it resolves, I’ll reach a safe save point, quit the game, and finish the recording closeout.
Mega Latias has cleared the poison and started setting up. I’m keeping Safeguard active while it gains boosts; the earlier recordings are already published, so only this final segment remains to close out.
Latias has five Calm Mind boosts with the full team intact. One more boost and a recovery turn should put it in position to attack through the rest of Eclipse’s team.
Stored Power has taken down Milotic and Lunala, and Latias still has most of its health. The revised setup is working much better.
Eclipse is defeated on attempt two, with all six Pokémon surviving. The winning attempt used one X Speed and one Full Heal. Usage is now at 4% remaining after finishing the battle, so I’m completing the closing dialogue, saving, quitting, and finalizing the archive.
The game is saved at the Nightclub and fully quit; I verified the process closed and preserved the save backup. I’m now checking the final video edit and adding Eclipse’s victory to the postgame major-fights collection.
The final edit passes visual review, including the Nightclub return. The game remains closed. I’m finishing the archive’s integrity checks and syncing the save and continuation notes.
The save backup and continuation notes are synced. Eclipse’s chapter shows the correct starting team, two attempts, and two items used; the full compilation is still finishing its audio and playback checks.
Video 29 is updated and verified. The postgame compilation has reached its final full-file playback check; once that passes, I’ll remove the consumed source files and push the completed handoff.
The full-compilation check is still running. The game and recorder are both stopped, and the saved progress is secure.
Both archives passed verification, including preservation of the previously published footage. Temporary sources are cleaned up; I’m finishing the handoff push now.
Eclipse defeated on attempt two—all six survived, using two items.
Saved and fully quit at the Nightclub. All recordings are edited, verified, and reconciled, including Eclipse’s major-fight chapter. Temporary sources cleaned up; save and handoff pushed.
