PMD:Omega Ruby part 22: LEAGUE sequel

Unwilling to accept defeat, Team Overgrow jumped right back into the League Challenge with minimal re-strategising. With the benefit of prior experience and a few levels gained on the last try, they made it to the Champion in no time.

This time round, the team received only one KO (Wingit), and watched in amazement as Kinetik took down Mega Metagross in two Discharges.

Victory~!

I’ve really got to acknowledge the affection mechanic, it really helped. But my team are so cool and tough.

...

To be honest, it’s been fun battling and appreciating my PMD team in a human-world context. But it felt quite out of character to battle the League, even with reasoning. I don’t think Faye would ever quite be comfortable with battling as a trainer. She might not have even if she’d never been a Poke’mon herself - I just don’t think the career fits her very well.

If this were a story I genuinely tied in to Overgrow’s canon, I might prefer to bypass the gym challenge altogether. Have them explore and sightsee together, include secret bases and interactions with rangers, have some rescue battles alongside Brendan against Team Magma, dive and discover the Infinity Energy info in Magma’s base and the sunken ship. Maybe keep the Groudon plot? Not sure (I still think the Gym challenge would make sense in the Groudon context).

But the Delta Episode...

That’s the part of this whole thing I reeeeallly wanted to get into. The whole reason I did this playthrough.

Here’s hoping the story works out the way I intended.
