‡ Round 67 ‡

Lady Bethany soon melts away and is replace by a small fox-like creature.



"You have stumbled upon the lair of Adelbert F. Zorua, the most powerful warlock this side of Warwick Meadows," he says in a overwrought tone. "I have searched your heart in order to take on the guise of your enemy, though you saw through my Illusion. Your mind is sharp, human. Now, answer... why have you come here today?"

I need a few illusions to disguise my pokemon and myself as some oddly-coloured zigzagoon, kind of like the ones you see here. You think you can manage that?

Adelbert smiles as you make your request.



"You say you wish to take on the guise of colourful Zigzagoons?" Adelbert inquires. "Interesting. I cannot fathom the sort of adventure you must be having. Are you ready, Pokemon trainer, to solve four of my riddles in order to earn the four Illusions?"

‡ Round 69 ‡



"Well, come inside," Adelbert says as he leads you into his cottage. You cross into a rather bare one-room dwelling with nothing but a bed, a table and some scattered chairs. It's not especially grandiose for a "Warlock Extraordinaire." "Take a seat, take a seat. Now, my riddles come in three varieties: Sight, Sound and Song. For each riddle you will be able to request two hints. However, with each hint you require, the Illusion you'll receive will become worse in strength and efficacy. Also, remember that you only get one guess and one guess only for each riddle. With that in mind, choose which variety of riddle you would like first."

‡ Round 70 ‡



Adelbert scoots over to his bed and from underneath he pulls out a dusty guitar. You watch as he tunes it for several minutes and then spends several minutes more searching for his pick. When at last he finds it, he sits down on a chair and holds his guitar (rather awkwardly) and begins. He then starts singing in the most hideous, unpleasant caterwaul you've ever heard.

"You might say I'm plain and you might say I'm prime,
Though the way I get bigger has changed over time.
You had six spots to get me and then you had four,
And now it would seem that you have many more."

With a few obnoxious strums of his guitar, Adelbert finishes his song.

"So," he says, "what Pokemon have I described?"

I got it.

The pokemon you're describing is a Feebas
1. It looks plain and bland, almost a carbon copy of Magikarp
2. It used to evolve based on beauty, but that got changed to evolving via a held item
3. In the hoenn games, there were only 6 fishing tiles where you were able to find Feebas in Route 119. In the Sinnoh games, there were only 4 fishing tiles in Mt. Coronet where you could find Feebas.
4. I don't really get that fourth line, but I know I'm right anyway :3

‡ Round 71 ‡



"Well-reasoned, Pokemon trainer. You are correct," Adelbert says. "You've earned yourself one full-power Illusion, which you can assign to yourself or to one of your Pokemon once you've finished the next three riddles. Now, for the next one... Sight, Sound or Song?"

Yay! The last line is a reference to the fact that, in B/W, there is no longer a set amount of fishing tiles where you can find Feebas. Also, the "prime" in the first line was a reference to Feebas's National Pokedex number being a prime number. :3

Eh, I'll go with sight this time around. Want a bit of variety

[Cynder]

You aren't horrible, but your actions were - it's understandable that you want the people who've wronged you to be punished, but the only way that you're ever going to get over your past is to forgive. Revenge won't get you anywhere, as you've already discovered: so you should put this entire thing behind you and concentrate on the future instead of dwelling on the past.

‡ Round 72 ‡



You ultimately decide to go with a Sight riddle this time. Adelbert closes his eyes and begins humming. Suddenly, the cottage goes dim as Adelbert uses his powers of Illusion to create a colourful rippling shape over the table. You see an image hovering before you, but it's a little blurry and difficult to make out.



"What Pokemon is this?" Adelbert inquires.

‡ Round 207 ‡

You wisely suggest that Steve learn to forgive and forget. Reshiram nods approvingly at your words.



"If you wish to make amends for what you did, Steve, you can start by helping me rebuild the Pokemon Collegiate Institute," Ernesta says. "Every bully who ever teased you and every instructor who ever disciplined you will be there and they will see what kind of Pokemon you truly are. You'd be amazed at how forgiving some Pokemon can be when they see you working nobly to restore your integrity and your reputation."

"And with your know-how, I'm sure you can devise some wicked blue-prints for the new school in no time," Salvador says. "If you want, I can even draw them for you."

As the four Pokemon start making plans to rebuild the school, Reshiram turns to you.

"Human, you are both a cunning strategist and a merciful victor," the Vast White Pokemon says. "You have proven yourself to be a marvellous Pokemon trainer and you have truly set an example for your peers. I wish to provide you with some sort of token of my gratitude. If you have any request of me, any request at all, you need only ask. If it is in my power, I will see that it is fulfilled."

While Steve, Salvador, Ernesta and Elmira converse among themselves, you make a request to Reshiram.

"The honour would be all mine, Cynder," Reshiram says. "I would normally feel inclined to ask for a practice battle in order to test your mettle, but I feel as though I have seen enough combat for today. I would savour the opportunity to battle alongside someone such as yourself. I accept."

Reshiram then closes his eyes and inclines his head. He seems to be at peace.

The moment has come.

You throw an Ultra Ball and, with a blaze of scarlet, Reshiram is contained inside.

The ball falls to the ground with a click. It's done.

"Human," Zekrom says. "You have been both a worthy opponent and an honourable ally. Provide me with the Light Stones and Dark Stones and I will spread them around the Safari Zone. Perhaps someday another worthy traveller will gather them and resurrect us once again."

"Thank you, Zekrom," Ernesta says as she accepts her Stones back. "I wish to thank you as well, Cynder. I came into this looking for one final adventure and now I think I can go into retirement having had an adventure that will remain with me until the end of my days. It pleases me to no end to see that there is a new generation of Legend-hunters. I wish you good luck with your future endeavours."

"Correct!" Adelbert says. "Very good! Oh, but there's one thing I forgot to mention... you actually have to solve two riddles for every Illusion you receive, so you still need to correctly answer four more. I can't believe that slipped my mind. So, Sight, Sound or Song?"

"You're kidding me," Hadley says flatly.

"Ahaha, yeah, actually, I am kidding you," Adelbert says with a smile which promptly fades upon seeing how irritated your retinue is. "Okay, I'm starting to get the impression you don't quite share my sense of humour. Anyway, you've earned three full-power Illusions that have no time limit on their duration and one half-power Illusion that will last a finite period of time*, though you'll be able to sense when it's about to fall. Of course, Illusion being what it is, any attack you sustain will naturally cause the Illusion to fall regardless of whether it's full- or half-power. So, let me know which one of you will receive the half-power Illusion and which ones will receive the full-power Illusions."

You thought you might never see the light of day again. Like always, Sabaku provides you transport to Grave's Yard where you locate the portal to Platrin and use it to take yourselves to the legendary temple in the sky.

Soon, you pass through pearly gates and set foot in the oh-so-familiar garden. Here, you see a Sceptile picking low-hanging fruit from a tree and a Gyarados peacefully basking in a tremendous fountain. Glancing skyward, you also see a black streak flying circles over everything.

You decide Sandy should get the half-power Illusion. She shoots you a sidelong frown.



Adelbert waves his paws around in the air and the cottage is suddenly overcome by a series of bright, colourful lights. It's magic time! You watch your human hands as they become small and furry and all around very Zigzagoon-ish. You notice that your fur has taken on the colour tones of your former skin and clothing to create a unique palette. Glancing over, you also watch as your allies take on entirely new shapes and appearances while maintaining their old colour schemes. With that, your transformation comes to an end. You have become a Zigzagoon.

"Good luck with your adventure!" Adelbert exclaims. "Don't forget to tell everyone about my various transformative spells and charms! Confound your enemies! Irritate your friends! Adelbert can do it all!"

You bid farewell and depart for Sunshine Fields! Fortunately, Sunshine Fields isn't all that far away from here and, before you know it, the endless desolation of the Scarred Wastelands grow slowly more green and verdant as you cross over into new territory. Here, the air smells sweeter and the sun shines brightly overhead. You look around and see a number of Pokemon frolicking nearby. This sure seems like a popular place this time of year!



"The entrance to our colony is only a short distance from here," Hadley explains. "We can show you but you need to remember that your cover absolutely cannot be blown, alright?

Sunshine Fields
A large rolling plain that overlooks TPML, the grass is soft and the air tasty. A plethora of grass Pokemon are found here as they enjoy the tickling breeze and the bright sunshine. Bird and normal-types are also found here. Far to the north, a small rocky outcropping exists.

‡ Round 80 ‡

Rather than saying hello to all the merry locals, you decide to stick to the task at hand. Hadley and Jackson lead you across the plain to a small glade where a colossal beech tree overlooks your surroundings. Jackson peers around to make sure the coast is clear while Hadley pulls back a couple of shrubs at the tree's base, exposing an opening near the roots. She gives a nod and you and your Pokemon slip into the Zigzagoon colony. Hadley and Jackson follow, pulling the shrubs back into place behind them.

While you were expecting a filthy burrow, you see that the colony down here is anything but. You find yourself in a carpeted corridor, the walls of which are plastered and bedecked with grand portraits and tapestries. Lovely aromas waft your way and you can hear distant music being played.

"Because we usually don't have to worry about foraging or fighting off predators, we direct a lot of our time and energy toward making our lodgings as comfortable as possible," Jackson explains. "There are around two-hundred of us who live down here, so it would proabably amaze you to see exactly how big our habitat really is."

Suddenly, you see an unfamiliar figure scurrying up the corridor. She smiles broadly upon spying Hadley and Jackson.



"Hadley! Jackson! You're back! Oh, Suresh is going to be thrilled... he's been so stressed, what with having to manage the colony now that the Elders are sick. Were you able to find help? Did Lady Bethany agree to--" She pauses upon noticing you, Veronica, Sandy and Catherine. "Wait, who are these four? I thought you two were the only ones who ventured outside?"

"Oh, uh, hi Georgette," Hadley says, her eyes darting around. "Uh, well, this one right here is, um, Pumplydee... he's Derbish, see, and... uh..."

Hadley points her paws at you and Georgette tilts her head in confusion. Oh, Hadley. Always consistent.

You lay on the accent a little thick, which causes Georgette to tilt her head even more.



"Um, hello, Braeburn," she says slowly. "Sorry, I'm just a little confused. I distinctly remember Jackson being sent to Ffeffni as an emissary and then Hadley being sent to retrieve Jackson not long thereafter, but I don't recall Suresh allowing anyone else to venture outside of the colony.
