Ryujin

Apsu pushes those boulders out of my way and I begin exploring the cave. My bicycle is necessary to get through some muddy slopes and over some rocks. But ultimately the rocks seem to be impassable. Curious. Anubis gets stronger as my team takes down Zubats and Bronzors. I also encounter a new dragon pokemon called Gible. I capture one. His name shall be Ryujin. After probing the cave as well as I can, I fly back to Veilstone and buy some more healing items.

In Veilstone City, one of the members of Team Galactic that I defeated earlier sees me. He is spooked, even though I'm not really sure which one he was. They all look the same to me anyway. He runs away. In his haste, he drops a key. I pick it up. This could be useful. The front door of the headquarters doesn't provide any noticeable access to most of the facility. I guess when you're running a diablolical cult full of bandits hellbent on creating a new universe by destroying lakes and raiding power plants, keeping most of the operation hidden is, well, something.

This key is probably for something in their warehouse. Maybe, just maybe this will give me the advantage I need. I can't be sure it's not a dead end, but I am going to try to infiltrate Team Galactic's headquarters. They brought the legendary pokemon here. There's some point to all of this. I cross most of Veilstone City and find the entrance to their warehouse wide open. This is it.

Sure, they've been bullying the people of Sinnoh without consequence. Sure, they have access to some powerful explosives. Sure, they've abducted the legendary lake pokemon. Slave couldn't stop them at Lake Acuity. They have some good planning and no one even seems to know just what the plans are for. And sure, I still don't know who their leader is. But I've battled them lots of times. They may be devious, but every single time I have clashed with these morons, I have won. And now I'm in their base, where I will kill their dudes. These guys are in so much trouble now.
