In lucid awakening
Right, got the Grade 3 and 4 magazines and I must say things ain't too exciting following the triple surprise in all three sagas last month.
For the BF part, as I feared, there has been no explanation as to why Brandon has the Regis, though Todd made a small remark about it. Not much of Emerald's adventure inside the Pyramid is shown, except showcasing the various uses of three pokemon: Phanphy as expected, to be a pickupper, Alakazam, mainly used as a teleporter (did teleport work in the pyramid in the real games?), and Shedinja, said to be there as an energy-saving member because it only has 1 HP and does not require much restores or stuff (but doesn't that make it easy to die too? hm....). One scene involves Emerald being freaked out by a wild Misdreavus, which is quite funny.
So, the Brains are gathering because Noland was knocked out, and we discover that the Armoured Man has actually stolen all the rental pokemons from the Battle Factory. All the Brains, especially Tucker and Greta (who've never liked Emerald) believe that Emerald is the culprit because he is the only trainer at the Battle Frontier right now who possesses pokemons, but Anabel (who acts like a leader here) announces Scott's decision, which is not to suspend Emerald's current challenge so as not to stir up the media's unnecessary attention.
Todd was brought to where the Brains are gathering by Spenser, and when he was later kicked out by Tucker, his nose bleeds, and there is a comic scene where Lucy teases him by blowing air into his ear. And no, before you ask, Todd's nose is bleeding because of Lucy.
Finally, Emerald completes the 10 sets of challenge and is up against Brandon. It seems that the boy has changed his team for this last set, and the first member he has is the Sceptile he stole, but Brandon's Regirock used explosion, and well, things aren't looking well for Sceptile so far. Since all the Factory pokemons were stolen, this stolen Sceptile might even add more the Brains suspicion of Emerald being the culprit who attacked Noland. Oh boy.
For FRLG, its chronological relevance is finally confirmed, and it is indeed 2 years after the GSC which many Japanese sites believe. There's a pic where Silver looks up on Yellow's profile, and like Crys and Gold once did before, is shocked that Yellow is older. (A clear pic of Silver since the scan on Netkun seems a bit off) As said on Netkun, Yellow reads Sneasel's mind and sees the image of Giovanni's statue.
Meanwhile, Oak has actually hidden the three new Pokedexes in his labcoat all along, and the black pokedexes which the Beast Warrior Trio hold aren't actually modified from the ones stolen from Oak, but just new ones made based on them. So, the original ones Red, Green, and Blue have are still there, and Oak rushed back into that research room to transfer the old data back to his news ones while Blue fends off the Deoxys-Divides. (Jiggly inflates itself to block the corridor again like in the Escape! chapter, and Ditty turns into an umbrella again to fend off the DNA shaped laser beams from Deoxys-Divides).
Finally, how Giovanni needs Deoxys's power is finally revealed. Apparently, Deoxys possesses a skill known as psychic vision, which enables it to search for the owner of something wherever he is. Giovanni gives Deoxys Silver's hankerchief, and Deoxys, upon touching it, gets a vision like one of those space-satellites, eventually locating Silver at Viridian, and that's where Giovanni and the Beast Warrior Trio shall go. (Notice the name Silver sewn on the hankerchief, I hope the writers haven't forgotten that it was Blue who gave Silver his name because of his eye colour. Well, unless Giovanni has given him the same name due to the same reason too...)
