Dashed in to the Giant Chasm to stop Ghetsis. Cutscenes galore here. White Kyurem was quite easy to beat, being a wild pokemon and all. Magnezone did faint because I forgot it has Fusion Flare though. It felt a bit anticlimatic for Kyurem to revert back to it's original form as soon as it appeared, but the ensuing Ghetsis fight was pretty good, especially after all the previous fights with Zinzolin barely tickled my pokemon. Cryogonal is terrible really. Anyway, Ghetsis goes crazy on the Shadow triad take him away. It's a shame that we only get the one fight with him, as Zinzolin was just wholly nonthreatening. He just kinda stood there and complained about the cold, without showing how evil he can be. Literally the worst thing he's done is repeatedly dispose of us via the Shadow Triad.
In fact overall, until Plasma froze Opelucid city, Team Plasma did absolutely nothing. Only Hugh had his sister's pokemon stolen, and that was 5 years ago. It's also our only motivation to battle besides supporting our friends. BW Plasma did something in nearly every city but BW2 Plasma only took a Herdier at the start, did something in Virbank, another something in Nimbasa docked the Frigate in Driftveil, zinzolin appears in Lacunosa. 7 badges and they only took a Herdier. Disappointing.
Ah well, I still got to hear the music that plays on the bridge between the Pokemon league and N's Castle in BW. It really deserves more use.
Made my way onto Route 23 after healing my pokemon. Best. Route. Ever.
Ok, probably not but they certainly did a very good job of making a long, geographically diverse Route to the league with tough trainers and epic music. Best part for me was having to go through the entire route, teach Braviary Cut, go through a small forest, complete a Strength puzzle that really requires you to think, clamber across a few bridges coming to a little pokeball at the end. What is it? A max revive? Rare Candy? Nope. It's TM12, Taunt. Trollfreak at its very finest.
After getting rid of Cut on Braviary, I'm heading over to Victory Road. Despite never grinding at all, I think I may end up being overlevelled. The Champion is lvl 57-59 and frankly I'd gladly take on her right now. I'll have to make sure I challenge myself in this E4.
