Crucible of Ideas

After defeating Merlin, he congratulates you.

He has never had a battle like that, and you've reignited something within him.

He gives you the Arcane Badge and the TM for Arcane Bolt, and promises to get out more.

He tells you that Victory Road is just south of Wack Town, and teleports you to the entrance of the gym.

Talking to the gym leader guide, he reveals that he is your father.

He is ashamed that he was unable to be there for you, but Team Juvite erased his memory.

When Team Juvite became a peaceful organization, his memories returned.

He gives you a Sacred Ash and returns home.

South of Wack Town, there is a water area which you need to surf on.

At the end of it is a cave, which is the beginning of Victory Road.

Many of the trainers in Victory Road are references to something.

For example, there is a trainer called Sakurai whose pokemon are Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, Charizard, Lucario, and Greninja.

There is also a trainer called Araki who has a full team of Stando.

After finishing the cave, you exit to find that Victory Road is not over yet.

You have to go down a grassy path with many trainers still wanting to fight you.

One of them has a Level 100 Boomblix. It's best to avoid that one for now.

You also find Anne blocking the path.

She is impressed that you made it here, and she wants to test her strength against yours.

She heals your Pokemon and fights you.

After beating her, she tells you that she talked to her dad in jail.

He claims that he was controlled by an otherworldly force, just like Zaydolf.

Anne says that from now on, she will take control of Team Juvite and use the company to bring peace to the world.

Going further on, you can find Zaydolf guarding the entrance of the Pokemon League.

He tells you that you are the strongest trainer he has ever met, and he knows he will lose against you.

But even so, he wants to fight you, as this is the first time you and him are true friends.

You fight him, and he has Canvast with him this time.

After beating him, he encourages you to prove to the world how strong you are.

The Pokemon League PokeCenter is set up just like any other, with a healing station, a PC, and a shop.

The only thing left to do is take on the Elite Four.

The first Elite Four is Vira, the Virus-type leader.

She explains her backstory.

When she was young, she fell into the Corrupted Crags.

She used to have nightmares, but she is now accustomed to the incident.

She challenges you to stand against the resolve of someone who has been to hell and back.

After beating her, she is surprised that she lost, wondering if she got a virus.

Next up is Cybrus, who uses Cyber-types.

He also explains his backstory.

He was a scientist exploring cyberspace, and he received funding from the Juvites, not realizing they were evil.

He wants to fight you in order to be relieved of that burden.

Next up is Ella, who uses Fear-types.

Her backstory is quite similar to Vira's.

When she was young, she was afraid of even her own shadow.

One day, she got lost in the woods full of Fear-type Pokemon.

But then she met one of them, who showed her that there was nothing to be afraid of… if you make yourself something to be feared.

She taunts you by telling you that you ready to piss your pants, and that she loves that look on people's faces.

And then she is very surprised after you beat her, wondering if you have faced fears worse than hers.

The last Elite Four is Neil, who uses Cosmic types.

His backstory is very simple.

He always wanted to be an astronaut, and he became one.

He also claims that compared to him, the rest of the Elite Four are pushovers.

After you beat and humiliated him by losing, the only trainer left to fight is the champion, Yawen.

He has observed your other battles, and he is very impressed with you.

But then, the text turns yellow, and he tells you that this is not a fight you can win.

He explains how all humans make mistakes, those mistakes lead to sins, and no human can forgive someone for all of their sins.

As someone who has achieved a state beyond human mortality, he shall be your judge.

Yawen uses a team composed evenly of Divine and Chaos types.

The Divine types are Ryulung, Archango, and Orderymid, and the Chaos types are Eldragon, Ledevilain, and Eldcraftian.

And after a long and epic battle, you beat him like any other opponents you have faced so far, then you enter the Hall of Fame, and finally, we will see the credits roll.

🍎🍊🍏🥭🍈🍑🍈🥭🍏🍊🍎

The credits explain everything that happened to the characters in the game.

Eva and Zyklon stayed by Zaydol's side and helped undo the wrongs that have been made by Team Wack, while Manglo died in the purification camp.

Crost went to explore some of the icy regions of the world, and became a leading explorer.

Chef Lomar's business carried on, becoming more popular than it had ever been.

Claire opened her own building, where plenty of special things happened.

Vlad breathed new life into his city, and gave the vengeful zombies a proper burial.

Plenty of new styles using plastic and glass seemed to pop up across the Wack region.

Jeeve Stobs continued to improve himself, growing closer and closer to the pinnacle of his life.

Hiroshima hunted down any remaining Juvites that followed Goldberg's schemes, and brought them to the authorities.

And although Merlin was still loyal to his pure 2D waifu, he traveled the world and met many people who became his close friends, including some women 😏.

Meanwhile, The Elite Four also await a time where they may clash with you once more.

It seems like the world is finally at peace, but as history has shown in the past, peace usually never lasts very long, as the darkness gathers at the bottom of this world....

Now, should I continue this?

The Post-Game Content after the Credit Roll is quite long after all 😅
