Three years have passed since my revenge arc on Alola, and while I completely dominated Alola and Team Rainbow Rocket, the urge to challenge my galaxy brain Pokemon skills has come back once again. Besides, we never found out what was up with those...
Previously, on our misadventures in Unova, we blew up Cheren again, got a new member of the squad, and learned we basically lose to Giratina right now unless we get some moves it doesn't resist, which hasn't happened yet. We also caught a Caterpie.
But today, now that I've raised up the team, it's time we get back to business, no huns involved, sadly. I swear, every single time I think of that set of words, that song from Mulan starts to play in my head. To be fair, I've never actually watched Mulan, the animated version, not that awful live action trainwreck because apparently Disney hates animated films these days. My only experience with anything related to Mulan comes from playing Kingdom Hearts 2, but...that's beside the point. Let's take a gander at the team before we go crush N's team again.

Outside of Kingpin learning Earth Power over Gyro Ball, no new moves, but I got everyone to Level 19. Lenora's ace is Level 20, so being a level behind shouldn't be too bad. Before we do that, however, we have another date with everyone's favorite green haired boy with hyper fast text, N.
He wants to see a special future, and naturally, after this, we do the thing we always do. This time around, since N always has a new team, he leads off with a Stoutland that traced Lancer's Mummy. A real shame we happened to get a TM for Sacred Sword last episode, so this shouldn't last long. As expected, it didn't last. His next mon was even less special, a Foongus. While I'm personally not a fan of mushrooms, hope you like roasted mushrooms, because that's what Kingpin turned this Foongus into.
Last but not least is an Electabuzz, and whenever I think of Electabuzz, I think of it's cry from the anime. It is pretty funny, to be honest, and I'm going to put the video here while I blast it with something real quick.
You know, I think it's pretty lucky Kingpin got a Ground move. It made dealing with this Electabuzz so much easier. With that out of the way, N admits he, at the moment, lacks the power to change the world. He does know, however, of a certain power he could use, and that's Zekrom (or Reshiram in White Version). At this point, this is the first mention of the heroes who used Reshiram and Zekrom, and it certainly won't be the last.
After stepping into the museum, we meet...some dude. I can't remember his name, but he gives us the grand tour, showing us such interesting exhibits like "big Dragonite statue that is further evidence death is a thing in this universe as much as they try to stray away from anything relating to death outside of Kanto," "the meteorite to change Deoxys forms," and "blatant plot stone." Speaking of which, N had come to the museum before us, so he had to have seen the stone there, and considering he knows about Reshiram and Zekrom, he had to have known the stone is important. And yet later, Team Plasma instead takes the Dragonite skull instead of the actual item of value. I know this may sound like I'm spoiling a plot twist early, but did N not tell them about the stone? Just something I've thought about, I guess.
