We don't always like being nonplussed

Pokemon Black - Day 27 (Dead or alive, you're coming with me.)

Well it's outside the door to the gym, and these two goobers are waiting for me.

Hey, it's Cheren and Star Destroyer Hips! I mean Belle!
I am so sick of these guys right now... They babble at me for a time, then the gym leader comes out and starts to talk to them about... something, probably important, or talking about how goddamn awesome I am, as he should.

Then suddenly, fucking ninjas everywhere!


Seriously, look up 'Victor Borge Phonetic Punctuation' on YouTube. Makes ellipse-happy JRPGs so much more fun.
The ninjas talk about N for a while, I think, then disappear. Gym leader then heads off with Cheren and leaves me with Huge-ass, which I don't think is fair at all. I head to the north to follow them, so they don't leave me alone with Fatfattyfatfat Ass, and run into these.
Kojofuu, the Kung-Pooh Pokemon.
It looks like Winnie the Pooh and a Hostess Snowball had a child... and it should have been aborted. His name is Kojofuu, but I'm going to call him Pooh, because that's what he looks like... A big one, too.

And I don't know what the hell this thing is supposed to be, but it's awesome.

Kurimugan, the Ski-Mask Dragon Pokemon.
It's Kurimugan, but I'm calling him Draco, because he's fucking amazing. This guy will eventually make it into my party, but that's going to be a long time away.

Also finally caught one of these little guys.

Emonga, the Adorable Thundersquirrel Pokemon.
He's not anything I'll be using, to be honest, but he's just cute... Which is what I'm going to call him. His actual name is Emonga, just so we're clear.

OH! That's something I almost forgot to mention that's going to be important. In the city with the electric gym, in the top left building there's a little kid sitting at a table. Talk to him and he gives you HM 04, which as far as I can tell is Strength. I wish I had found it the first time I went through, because I'm sure I've passed a number of places that I could use it. Really, I feel kind of dumb to have not talked to him, but I'm glad I came back to this town to look around and see if I missed anything... Guess I should go and scour everywhere to make sure I didn't miss anything else.

Anyway, rather than standing in one place and power leveling for ages, I've decided to simply move forward and see what comes up. It seems to want me to go north of the town, even though the route should continue east from here, so let's get moving.

Oh boy, here comes Belle.
Well, it looks like I'm supposed to go into some strange, dark and foreboding woods... I'm ok with that. Belleiant Ass (that's a combination of the character's name, Belle, and her description, Giant Ass) comes up to me and the stranger in front of me and they begin some sort of long, drawn out conversation, possibly about the weather, or sports, but I don't know or care to be honest. I want to get to the next gym and get that badge! They talk for a bit more, then the strange man walks up to me and hands me something, possibly dirty underpants, possibly pornography, I can't tell... Ok, it may have been Old Gateau, but I'm only basing that off of the picture. It could also have been a spiked tail, but that's the only other item I don't recognize.

What do you mean you don't want to fight? You're a low-level goon! It's what you do! It's ALL you do!

Of course Team Plasma is here! Oh joy!... No, seriously, joy. I didn't power level my pokemon, so fighting these guys will be a really good way to get them a bit higher up in levels... Except this one doesn't want to fight, and seems a bit distraught. I move my way farther up the path and take a look around to see what I can find.

Hope you've got a couple bottled fairies handy, Pants.

And the answer is apparently the Water Temple from one of the Zelda games. Well that's fine, I just need to find where my Zora flippers are, and I'll be ready to take this place on. I make my way inside and continue along the extremely linear path until I get to a flight of stairs... which is when the lights go out, or at least down, and there's some sort of earthquake. No biggy, I have Flash... No, wait, I don't need Flash, I'm just brain damaged and was looking at the screen wrong.

Yes, I just left in several sentences about me making a completely idiotic mistake. Why? Because it's funny as hell to me, and funny is what we're going for.

And Cheren is here as well, which I guess makes sense, since I was following him up this way to see what he was doing... Or that's probably what I was doing, for all I know they told me to come this way and pick spring onions. Anyway, once he's done talking and runs out of the room I'm left to follow him, which is simple enough. either head to the right side of the room and walk up the broken pillars, or push the rock into the hole and take the stairs.

And then, I started running into these guys.

Gobitto, the Pokemon you mistake for Tony Stark.
I'm calling him Robo, but his name is actually Gobitto, which means something, I'm sure. He is awesome for so many reasons, I can't wait until I find out what he actually is. But that's going to have to wait, I'm sorry to say. I'm calling it here since it's getting a bit late, so just hang in there and tomorrow we'll probably move one door to the left!
