Chapter 25: Pokémon Wack 8
When you leave Gowen's house, you see a cave at the south which has opened its doors.
It brings you to a deeper level of the elder city, where you can enter a temple.
In the temple, you encounter the shaman of the tribe.
After defeating him in a Pokemon battle, he opens the path to the Sloggoth Pits.
He also gives some backstory on the Eldone pokemon you've encountered.
Basically, the Eldone were an intelligent species who served HIM and ruled over Earth long before humans, until they decided to create life.
Unfortunately, that life went to war against the Eldone, reducing them to what they are currently.
Their creations were then locked away in the Sloggoth Pits, the same place Gowen is going in order to begin his ritual.
He fears there may be conflict between Gowen and the creatures.
After speaking to the shaman, a building in the east lets you go to the Sloggoth pits.
The Sloggoth Pits are a big spiral hallway with a few Transformed guarding the center.
At the center of the Sloggoth Pits, you find Gowen again.
He claims that he is the apex of the human race, and he will be the first to be welcomed in the new world.
If you do not defeat him, the world will crack, and he is confident that you will not defeat him.
You fight him in a battle where his Pokemon are Mega Wendigore, Eldreye, Eldone, Transformed, Baxbak, and Cthultulzu, all Pokemon you've faced before in the Arctic.
Realizing his Pokemon alone could not defeat you, Gowen decides to fight you himself.
Basically, you have to fight another battle against Gowen where he sends out himself as a Pokemon.
He also has a Corrupt Orb, which lets him Mega Evolve into Corrupted Gowen.
After defeating Gowen, he is disappointed and claims that he will not die.
But then, a bunch of shoggoths (or Sloggoths) appear.
Gowen reveals that the Sloggoths were the beings created by the Eldones, but he was unaware that his ritual would set them free.
The Sloggoths tell Gowen that they are the rightful heirs.
Gowen refuses to believe that, telling the Sloggoths that they destroyed the Eldones and need to be sealed away.
The Sloggoths tell him that they serve HIM, and that they are here to bring about the world the Eldones could not.
Gowen, realizing that he was wrong, does a Heel–Face Turn and tells you how to get rid of the Sloggoths.
All you need to do is to go to the chapel where the shaman was and press a switch.
Simple, right?
Unfortunately, there are like a hundred Sloggoths in the Sloggoth Pits, and they're all chasing you.
This is an opportunity for you to catch a Sloggoth, but it's gonna take a while to escape.
A few of the Sloggoths are also trainers who you can't escape from.
There are also a few Sloggoths in the temple, but not that many.
The temple contains a doorway to a dark room, where a single man lies.
That man turns out to be a shoggoth, who boasts about hatching the new world, then battles you.
One of his Pokemon is a Sloggeroth with a Corrupt Orb, enabling it to mega evolve.
After defeating him, a bunch of people appear. They were the ones sacrificed by Gowen and his tribe, and with the death of Gowen, they can finally go on, previously having been in a torturous state of unrest.
They give you a few Max Revives and an Angel Powder, which is a better version of Leftovers.
Gowen and his brother then appear in the room.
Gowen starts to apologize, but his brother interrupts and apologizes to Gowen.
Gowen's brother says that he should have listened to Gowen about the ancients, but he didn't because he thought Gowen was just saying that stuff to take his place.
He admits that he was selfish, and that they should both have worked together for the good of the village.
After forgiving each other, the brothers embrace each other and drift off into the afterlife.
After all of that, you finally get the ship part.
After leaving the Arctic, you head back to Cybergate City where you meet Zaydolf and Anne.
You tell Zaydolf about the arctic, and he tells you about how he went to the library and Anne went to a strange cave.
However, he is interrupted by the Three Voices Speaking as One.
They have observed that you want to leave this earth, and they cannot allow you to leave until you have proven yourself worthy. They are the guardians of the land, sea, and sky, and you need to meet them in the temple in Arcania City.
Zaydolf figures out that they are Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza, and he knows that they want to test your might.
So you go to Arcania City and find the temple in the center of the city.
Inside the temple, there are 3 paths, but the middle one is blocked off for now.
Going the blue path gets you to Kyogre, who tells you that the vastness of space is even larger than the massive ocean, so you must prove yourself against the sea.
It then fights you in a Pokemon battle.
After, it lets you catch it.
After catching it (or running away), you can go to Groudon's chamber, where you do a similar thing.
Groudon tells you that you must have a firm grasp on the earth before being able to leave it.
After doing both the Groudon and Kyogre quests, the middle path opens, making you go through an annoying invisible maze before encountering Rayquaza.
Rayquaza fights you in a battle, telling you "you're fugged" after you win and lets you catch it like Groudon and Kyogre.
After that, you have permission to leave the planet.
Returning to Cybergate, Zaydolf asks if you're ready.
Something tells him we won't be able to return to Earth for a whilenote .
When you're ready, he explains that the ship will slingshot around the sun and leave the solar system.
He launches the spaceship, and you leave the Earth, but you are stopped by a cosmic being who will prevent you from going any further. It explains that it has waited for millenia for the first apes to leave their rock, and it will not fail at keeping you there.
This being is called Guardian Xerxes, and you have to fight it in a Pokemon battle.
It isn't fooling around, either.
It has the entire Sinnoh creation trio, including Arceus, as well as some random Divine-types.
After beating it, Xerxes begs forgiveness from "the great ones", and then drags you towards the moon.
Now, you are on the moon, but inside the spaceship.
Eva is there, and if you talk to her she can take you back to the Earth.
There is also a Pokemon Center and a PC on the ship.
Zaydolf and Anne are on some seats, and Zaydolf tells you that you should look outside to see what happened.
His machines are picking up high energy readings on the dark side of the moon, and he only has one completed space suit, so only you can leave.
The ship has a lot of empty space, and there is one panel that takes you outside the ship onto the moon.
On the moon, you find a Cosmog, who joins your party.
In the southern part of the beginning area, you find a cave, which takes you to another area.
This area is blocked by Neil Armstrong, who is proud of you for making it to the moon.
However, he is blocking you because there are things here that you are not ready to see.
For him to be sure that you're ready to see them, he fights you in a Pokemon battle.
He has the same team he had for the Elite Four, but his Sateli has a mega evolution instead of his Lunighton this time.
After beating him, Neil explains that humans were not the first to the moon.
HE was here long before humans.
Neil also gives some backstory: when he was part of the government space program, he and his crew were headed to Mars.
When they were passing by the moon, some colossal being attacked their ship.
The captain sent Neil off on the escape pod to Earth, but the rest of his crew was killed.
Neil explains that he'll never feel peace until that monster is destroyed, and that you need to kill it anyway to progress with the story.
He then goes ahead on his own.
Going further south, you come across a temple, where you find a youngster who claims that he's been here long before you, waiting for you to reach him.
You also battle a few Nices who say similar things.
After going through the temple, you have to go through a few other areas, and you find yourself in a hallway of another temple.
Neil is there again, and he tells you what he's discovered.
Basically, "they" have been on the moon long before us, and they're probably all over the universe.
He doesn't know why they don't want us to leave Earth, however.
Going through the corridor, you have to fight a few double battles with Neil as your ally.
At the end of the corridor, you find the goddess Luna.
She had always been fascinated with the moon and the stars, so a few thousand years ago, HE gave Luna the powers of a god.
She battles you and Neil because you harmed her friends, and after beating her, she unblocks a path near where you first landed. She doesn't expect you to survive, though.
Talking to Neil brings you back to where the spacecraft landed.
