Chapter 9- The Legendary Lucario
Level One- Taking to the Skies
When we last left off on the Poke'mon Trainer's journey, he had just met an odd bunch of talking Poke'mon known as Team Big Shots. Team Big Shots was on a journey to find Mew and help him defeat Mewtwo. Mew is found in a dungeon. Now, with 2 more Poke'mon on the team, Pikachu and Jigglypuff, they head for the ice mountains where Lucario was last seen.
The quickest way there would be, of course, to use The PT's Charizard.
Unfortunately, a great power lurks in the skies.
The Legendary Dragon, Rayquaza zooms in at amazing speed and fires a blast of lightning, which Charizard barely evades.
Everyone riding on the Charizard is woken up by the loud noise. Unfortunately only Mew, the Undertaker, and Charizard are able to fight in the air.
This would be the case, anyway, if it weren't for a winged warrior of the skies.
Pidgeotto
Pidgeotto flies in and uses wing attack to put the hurt on Rayquaza.
A battle insues.
Part 1- Boss Battle Rayquaza
Useable Characters- Charizard, Mew, The Undertaker, Pigeotto
Objective- Defeat Rayquaza
Notes-
Rayquaza fights exactly like in the Brawl SSE.
You have constant flight in this fight.
All attacks performed by your character are either specials or aerials.
Rayquaza uses Iron Tail, which is a sweeping tail attack. It actually hits twice, so it can break your shield quite easily at higher difficulties.
Rayquaza ducks down and rushes to the other side of the stage.
[edit] Second Move
Rayquaza shoots an energy ball at front of it diagonally, or lowers its head and uses Energy Ball in front of it, which travels across the stage unless it hits the ground, when it will explode. (This can be reflected by various reflecting attacks but not absorbed by PSI Magnet or Oil Panic)
Rayquaza burrows underground, then bursts out of the ground where the player was standing. At lower HP, Rayquaza does this three times. When its HP is low enough that it can be captured, it will perform this attack four times.
[edit] Third move
Rayquaza's eyes glow, and then it creates an explosion at the location where your character was at that time (possibly Focus Blast). While Rayquaza's eyes glow, fighters in contact with its head will be spiked to the ground, often a perfect setup for the explosion.
Rayquaza flies up in a tight circle and uses Shock Wave (or possibly Thunder, though this is extremely different from Pikachu's Thunder) which hits you with a multi-hit lightning bolt (it does not have knockback, however). It breaks shields down quickly. During the time Rayquaza rises touching it will deal Electric damage. It's one of the few attacks that are easier to dodge on higher difficulties due to its much shorter duration. Rayquaza only uses at lower HP.
Rayquaza flies up slowly, then crashes into the character while burrowing into the ground, then appears on the other side. Thunder is the substitute for this at lower HP.
Rayquaza flies up, and then uses Extremespeed to dash near the ground back and forth. At lower HP, Rayquaza does this two or three times. Small characters can evade this attack by ducking, but Rayquaza's rotating head may catch ducking characters off-guard for a clean hit.
[edit] Random
Rayquaza uses Roar. During the first part of the roar, you are pushed away from Rayquaza if you are close to it. This attack deals no damage. (This does not affect Rayquaza's attack cycle.)
After being defeated, Rayquaza falls from the sky. Charizard starts to grow tired, but he still has the strength to atleast make it the edge of the mountain region.
Level 2- The Mountains
Part 1- The Base
Useable characters- Poke'mon Trainer, Pidgeotto, Mew, Team Big Shots, Pikachu, Jigglypuff
Objectives- Journey through the mountains.
Details-
This is a side-scrolling level. The entire time, you are basicly going uphill.
Beware of traps such as geysers, ice spikes, and freezing lakes (can make you drown and deal 1% damage per second).
The enemies of this level consist of Ice Climber's enemies, as well as an assortment of Poke'mon types:
Polar Bear- Ice Climbers
Topi- Ice Climbers
Zubat- Flies around and deals weak damage. The real threat is a long range supersonic wave that can temporarily make you dizzy.
Glalie- An Ice Skull like Poke'mon. It attacks primarily by biting and through freezing breath.
Spheal- A cute weak little ice seal. It attacks by playfully tossing a ball of ice at you after bouncing it several times on its nose.
Sneasle- A really awesome little ice and dark type Poke'mon that attacks with fast claw attacks.
Snorlax- This lazy bear is really slow and really powerful. Takes a lot to bring down. Thankfully they are predictable (a lot like fighting a Greap.) Attacks with snores and claws and can go to sleep, healing its health over time.
As the group goes further up the mountain they are attacked by a large group of Zubat's, which immediately supersonic everyone. The group appears to be done for until a strong poke'mon comes to the rescue.
A floating poke'mon of ice and snow flies in.
FROSLASS
Froslass creates a shield of ice over the PT's group and then whips up a mighty hailstorm, knocking all of the Zubat's right out of the sky.
Froslass then guides the other Poke'mon up the mountain.
Part 2- The Summit
The team is near their destination now. Between them and Lucario, however, lies a stretch of frozen ground. This is a hunting territory for Mightyena.
Useable characters- The Poke'mon Trainer, Team Big Shots, Mew, Pidgeotto, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Froslass
Objective- make your way through the Mightyena hunting grounds.
Details-
This is a straightforward side-scrolling level, with few traps other than a blizzard that occassionally kicks up, doing 1% per second.
The enemies you will face will consist of all of the enemies in the previous part, plus packs of hungry Mightyenas, as well as viscious little Poochyenas that attack with sharp fangs and claws.
One
Mightyena backs down at the end of this part and joins your group in return for sparing its life.
Part 3- Lucario
The team has finally found
Lucario, who was once again meditating at the tip of a mountain. Hearing the footsteps, Lucario's eyes open, and he challenges Mew to a battle of Legendaries. Before the battle can happen, two little midgits finally climb up to the summit.
The Ice Climbers
Two adorable little creatures also run in and start cheering, each taking a different side.
Plusle and Minon
The Ice Climbers watch in astonishment and confusion as the epic battle happens.
Useable Character- Mew
Opponent- Lucario
Objective- Defeat the opponent in a one-stock match.
At the end of the battle Mew and Lucario communicate by reading each other's minds, and they agree to join forces against Mewtwo.
Now with the power of two legendary physcic Poke'mon, the entire team can be warped near Mewtwo's castle.
Level 3- Infiltration
Part 1- Wes Vs. Team Rocket
Mew's group weren't the only ones to enter Mewtwo's Poke'mon Kingdom. Another Poke'mon Trainer sneaks around, seeking to face Mewtwo with the help of his trusty Poke'mon, Espeon and Umbreon.
Wes
Unbeknownst to both groups, there was also a 3rd party entering the fortress. This group on the other hand, didn't have such good motives.
Team Rocket (and
Meowth)
When Wes and Team Rocket meet, Jesse sees Wes's adorable little Poke'mon and immediately comes up with one of her infamous schemes. Wes will not tolerate his Poke'mon being stolen, and a battle results.
Useable Characters- Wes
Opponent- Team Rocket
Objective- Poke'mon Elimination match
Details-
Cause every one of Team Rocket's Poke'mon to faint.
Espeon and Umbreon have 300% total Stamina (this can be used in any combination and is shared between the two.)
Each of Team Rocket's Poke'mon have 50% stamina.
After Wes wins the match, Umbreon charges up a Shadow Ball and Espeon charges up a Psybeam. Team Rocket is struck by both at once, resulting in the famous "Team Rocket's blasting off again!!!!", as they are launched right through the roof, causing the roof to break. They are sent thousands of feet in the air (somehow miraculously surviving).
Part 2- Groups Collide
Mew's group soon hears the sounds of battle happening in the corridors of Mewtwo's Fortress and rushes towards the source, only to arrive immediately after Team Rocket is shot up into the heavens.
They mistake Wes for a villain and a battle ensues between Wes and The Poke'mon Trainer.
Useable Characters- Wes, The Poke'mon Trainer
Opponent- The Poke'mon Trainer, Wes
Objectives- Defeat the other character in a Poke'mon elimination match (stamina)
Details-
Wes's 2 Poke'mon each have 150% stamina.
The PT's 3 Poke'mon each have 100% stamina.
Cutscene- Subspace Bomb Goes Boom!
After this fight, Wes explains himself and joins the group. All of them then head to face Mewtwo.
Well, atleast they would have if a Subspace Bomb didn't blow up the area, dragging everyone and everything in the fortress to Subspace.
The Poke'mon group's journey will continue in a future chapter, the endgame chapter to be exact.
Hope you enjoyed this SSE chapter.
