Part 4: Welcome to the Junior Expedition Society?

We go to Poliwrath River.

UGH. WORST DUNGEON IN THE GAME YET. I lost quite a bit of Reviver Seeds and Oran Berries in it. STUPID LUXIOS.

Looks like I was right though. This is the new "The Answer."

*sighs*

Anyway I somehow survive long enough to make it to the end and fight the 3 Poliwrath and 1 Poliwag.

I ended up wasting both my Slumber Orbs and used a few sleep wands too. I'm starting to not like this game...

I ran out of Oran Berries so I had to hope my Reviver Seeds would last until I won. Luckily they did.

I guess all that matters is that I won?

We find Ampharos, who also saves Squire because he let his guard down, and return the Connection Orb.

Ampharos informs us that they aren't a member of the Expedition Society. OH REALLY?!

Well... all of a sudden... Fenne informs Ampharos that he wants to join the Expedition Society and make a map of the world. Ampharos compliments the dream. Then... all of a sudden... we're made 'Junior Expedition Society Members' and practically forced into it. Well... I guess it's okay... BECAUSE I'M TOTALLY SURE THAT THE TRUTH ABOUT SQUIRE WON'T BE REVEALED AS WE DO EXPEDITIONS.

Also... AMPHAROS ISN'T JUST A MEMBER OF THE EXPEDITION SOCIETY. HE'S ITS' CHIEF. As the scene shows after Fenne and Squire leave. Why am I not surprised?

Anyway... Ampharos also explains all the Expedition Society stuff about the Connection Orb and Expeditions and all that goodness. We rescue a Slyveon and also get extra connections by simply talking to an Azumarill. We also retrieve important items for a Vulpix from the Cave of Training. Nothing too ridiculous. YET. THAT'S THE KEYWORD.

That's all I accomplished. However... I was looking ahead in my walkthrough (because I like to prepare for what's to come okay?) and... THIS GAME IS DEFINITELY THE NEW "THE ANSWER" THERE'S NOT IFS, ANDS, OR BUTS ABOUT IT.

IS THIS GAME SERIOUS WITH THIS SALAMENCE BS?! HOW ARE YOU EXPECTED TO BEAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT THIS EARLY IN THE GAME?!

*sighs*

Apparently my walkthrough wants me to lose on purpose so I can bring Sylveon with me. But if I can't have party members that are higher level than I am... how is that going to help?

*sighs*

Fine. I'd better not regret this. But I'm seriously not losing any items so I'm not bringing any with me. If this doesn't work... I may or may not have something else up my sleeve.

BECAUSE I BEAT "THE ANSWER." THIS GAME DOESN'T KNOW WHO IT'S MESSING WITH.

Next time:
