 === Day 61 ===
+The party spends the morning training in town. It’s busier in town than normal since the Wild Area is currently off limits to the average trainer. They dig in though, training everyone except Arcanine, Rillaboom, and Pangoro. They train through lunch then decide to check in with Sonia to see what they can do to help out.
+They meet up with Sonia at her lab, also seeing Everleigh, Cortez, Sandra, and Olivia there. Sonia explains her ongoing missions for the trainers to investigate and just seems exhausted. They mingle a bit, namely Steve and Sandra having a flirtatious catch up that was interrupted by Peyton not reading the room. After making a note to get together another time, Steve and the gang take on a request to investigate a train with supplies that derailed in the wild area.
+They head out into the wild area to follow the tracks of the derailed train. Steve sends Noivern on ahead but it’s forced back before it can find anything by the sheer number of dynamax wild pokemon. They travel via Arcanine, Rapidash, and Noivern along the tracks, narrowly avoiding a fight with a Dynamax Venusaur.
+They find the derailed train being picked over by Team Crown grunts. Thinking smart, they sneak around and box Team Crown in with Rillaboom’s Drum Beating and Arcanine’s Rock Slide while Nova snagged 2 Ultra balls from their air bus. After some hot challenging words from Team Crown, pokemon are sent out for a battle!
+==== Episode 70 - The Train Job ====
+=== Day 61 ===
+Team Crown uses Alcremie, Coalossal, Dragapult, Drednaw, Flapple, Hatterne and Greedant. Togetic, Toxtricity, Delphox and Slowbro are fainted, the Rillaboom brothers are brought to half while Arcanine and Seadra are dropped to one health. The party earns 12000 poke from them, and Steve finds a Magnet.
+The party uses their pokemon to reset the derailed train car back onto the track and calls Sonia to have a train pick up the stranded cars. They hitch a ride home, bringing Team Crown’s Stephanie, Brutus, Percival, and Kenny.
+==== Episode 71 - Johnson Family History ====
+=== Day 61 ===
+The party brings their exhausted teams to the pokemon center and has them heal up. Steve spends the time waiting playing music for the pokemon center and earns 100 pokedollars in tips, then the group eats in the center. Rapidash ends up running a gambling corner for a bit, making 300 pokedolla
+=== Day 62 ===
+With the money they got off of Team Crown, the party hits the shops of Hammerlocke. Peyton picks up a high performance food sack along with the rest of the supplies, which gives Amura a boost while training. Steve visits Morris’s Costume Emporium to get matching band T shirts for his team. Morris is the one running the store, a laid back guy who does the graphic design and tailoring. He also has a Yamper with a secret mean streak that finds Peyton lost in the warehouse like store and chases him back to the front counter. Steve spend 700 Pokedollars for shirts/capes with “Steve and The Amps” on it, along with art of his team. Morris says they’ll be ready as early as end of day.
+The party then goes to do some training focusing on team work, before hitting up Sonia for another job. They take on the task of finding what happened to the Johnsons, they had an errand to run they haven’t come back from up town. They go to the address and find it to be a mansion with a battle court in the front yard, despite being in the city. They knock using the Salamance head knocker on the door.
+An older man greets them, in his late 50s with salt and pepper hair and a well groomed beard. He’s dressed in a dress shirt and slacks, but casually so, like appearance isn’t that import to him. He introduces himself as Jimmy Johnson, the Johnson trio’s father. He tells the party the trio are grounded, because he’s not about to let them fight criminal organizations without proper supervision, especially since they couldn’t best him in a fight. The party (asides Nova, who was too busy swooning) convinces him to let them fight him, and if they win, the Johnson’s can head back out to helping deal with everything going on. Jimmy agrees… and casually reveals he’s a former champion via photos on the mantle while he gathers his pokeballs.
+Jimmy’s contest is a double battle, where two of the three party members will have a pokemon in at the same time. Each of them can provide two mons to the fight, totally 6. Jimmy will fight alone, and provide only four. Jimmy leads with Metagross and Salamance, while Peyton and Steve lead with Pangoro and Noivern.
+Pangoro has Metagross’s number through the first round, while Salamance has Noivern’s. Noivern gets off Tailwind, but Salamance brings Noivern to 1 with Dragon Claw, then will point rerolls into a perfect success to clash and faint Noivern’s critical hit Air Slash. Metagross is swapped out at 1 HP and Salamance flies on it’s last action.
+Delphox comes in for Noivern, and Gyarados comes in for Metagross. Pangoro triple Comet Punches Gyarados to half health, before it clashes a move then Parting Shot’s into Arcanine. Arcanine came in with zero actions however, so despite being ready to fight Gyarados and Salamance were able to dogpile him and eliminate him. Delphox, who spent most of the round missing, finally connects with a brutal Psyshock that wipes out Gyarados, then offhandedly Flamethrower’s Salamance out of the fight.
+Metagross is sent out with Gengar, while Pangoro rejoins Delphox. Gengar is bullied by two big Psychic type hits and is eliminated with ease. Pangoro clashes Metagross’s last ditch attack and Metagross faints. Jimmy is impressed, and lets his kids rejoin the battles against Team Crown. The party gets 9360 pokedollars for winning, split to 3120.
+==== Episode 72 - Mist on the Water ====
+=== Day 62 ===
+After thanks from the Johnson trio, the party heads back to Sonia’s lab for another way to help out. They take on a request to investigate a strange, heavy mist that has taken over the Lake of Outrage in the western wild area. The three set out to the lake, arriving in the vicinity by evening.
+They begin to explore, making their way through the low visibility fog that has engulfed the area. They find the shore line and Steve sends Seadra out to investigate the waters. While Seadra is gone they spot a lavender sparkle in the water, even through the fog. Seadra returns and motions them further down the shoreline where a Dragalge is bullying a trio of Mantine. The party makes short work of the Dragalge, which drops a Dragon Scale that causes Seadra to evolve into Kingdra!
+The Mantine offer the party a lift across the lake when they ask if the Mantine can help the find the source of the fog. They each spot the sparkle on the way over, but can’t make out what it is. Across the lake, they find a large number of smaller, weaker pokemon that seem to be hiding out. As the group wonders how they got here, a form emerges from the mist.
+Suicune appears from the Lake itself, and immediately attacks the party, thinking they’re there to hurt the wild pokemon! A battle ensues where the party holds their own with their superior numbers, then a Wooper breaks up the fight by telling Suicune the party meant no harm. Suicune relents it’s attack and listens to the party’s reasons for being here. It’s fine with their visit, and is obviously the cause of the mist, so the party is able to report back that Suicune is causing the mist to protect the weaker wild pokemon from the rampaging dynamax ones.
+==== Episode 73 - Dynamic Double Dynamax! ====
+=== Day 62 ===
+Exhausted, the party crosses back across the lake on Mantine back. They make a quick camp as soon as they’re on dry land and crash.
+=== Day 63 ===
+The party slept in after their late night. They wake up and jump right to training before calling Sonia’s lab to see what else she needs doing. Sonia was worried she hadn’t heard from them but was happy the mist wasn’t a new problem to deal with. She requests the party swing by the Dusty Bowl on the way back to Hammerlocke where two dynamax mons are coordinating and causing problems for the volunteers protecting town.
+The two mons turn out to be Marowak and Donphan from the party’s trip across the Northern Wild Area! It’s a tough fight, but the party perseveres and Nova comes away with a Thick Club for Alolan Marowak thanks to a Knock Off by Steve’s Rillaboom.
+The party returns to town. After dropping off their pokemon at the Pokemon Center, Steve makes a trip over to Morris’s Costume Emporium to pick up his order. Morris has it ready for him. The party does some more shopping for supplies before resting up for tomorrow.
+==== Episode 74 - Storming the Castle ====
+=== Day 64 ===
+The party heads down to Sonia’s lab so they can find out how else they can help. They arrive just in time to hear Sonia speaking to Stephanie Taylor, who reveals she found Charles’s base. He’s camped out in a mansion in the wild area, the very same one the party rescued Solomon from. Stephanie has to get back to town, her Lucario is weak and she’s been scouting too long. Sonia is willing to let the party take the fight to Charles since they have a history, giving them a map card for their Pokegear to navigate them there.
+The party sets out, traveling carefully to avoid conflict on the way and camping.
+=== Day 65 ===
+The party cleans up camp early in the morning to fit in some training before the big day. They approach the mansion from the top of a hill, hiding in the bushes to observe the air buses and tent surrounding the mansion front door. They decide to observe the guards for any patterns. They don’t find any, but a pair get in fight and split up, one heading in their direction. The guard spots Peyton’s jacket through the bushes but the party uses his curiosity (and Steve’s Rillaboom) to jump him and steal his uniform.
+With the stolen uniform, they execute a plan where Steve is bringing “captured trainers” to Charles. A lieutenant stops him though and tells Steve to take them to an airbus to be sent to the “other base”. Steve offloads Nova and Peyton there and decides to mingle through the area to blend in. He starts up a conversation with a group that thinks he looks familiar, vaguely recognizing him from his Rainbow Factory show.
+Nova and Peyton have Espeon psychically crush a tent as a distraction and try and sneak to the door. Peyton is spotted though, so he decides to race around the camp and tie up everyone’s attention. He’s too fast and the whole camp ends up chasing him, so Nova sneaks into the mansion with Steve. Nova has Delphox create a smokescreen when Peyton runs past the front door to let Peyton sneak in. The camp is still on high alert, but no one saw them enter the mansion.
+==== Episode 75 - VS Charles ====
+=== Day 65 ===
+Knowing they only have so much time before the grunts check inside, the party decides to investigate upstairs. They hear voices at a set of double doors and kick in the door with Steve in front. Charles and his two admins Belvedere and Galahad await inside, going over their plans. Charles offers them a chance to surrender, which they don’t take. Charles reveals that this mansion is a former Trick Mansion and the room splits in thirds, setting Nova up against Charles, Steve against Galahad, and Peyton against Belvedere.
+Steve wins against Galahad first, defeating Galahad’s Sirfetch’d, Runerigus and Boltund with only a few injuries on his side. Kingdra had Runerigus and Boltund dead to rights by the end, and Steve decided to move to assist Nova.
+Peyton fought with Belvedere, losing Pangoro to Stonejourner. Arcanine comes out and does good damage, working his way through Galarian Weezing without issue. Belvedere brings out his final mon, Mr Rime against him but…
+Meanwhile Nova loses Delphox and Bewear against Charles’s powerful team of Intellieon, Grimmsnarl, and Hydreigon. Kingdra arrives to back up Nova, but is obliterated by a Draco Meteor, Charles had been ready for the back up to arrive. Belvedere presses the switch again, combining the battlefields again. Despite the team up, Hydreigon and and Mr. Rime are taken out by the party’s teams.
+Charles is nonchalant in defeat and offers the party a seat on his round table. They refuse, making sure they know how evil he is and that his nationalist ideas are terrible. Charles surprisingly agrees, saying that this was always about power and his was manipulating the nationalists to do it. Galahad is shocked, but Belvedere was in on it from the start. Galahad tries to throw a punch at Charles but Charles knocks him out.
+Nova then tries to trick Charles by accepting his round table offer, planning to bean him in the head with her frying pan when she gets close. Charles was ready though, blocking with his sword and using the ensuing chaos to drop down a trap door with Belvedere. Peyton and Steve give chase through the trapdoor while Nova heads down the stairs to block the exit. They manage to pin Charles in the foyer because she did, and then Stephanie Taylor arrives with backup. The Jennys with her arrest Charles and his knights, along with the rest of Team Crown.
+The celebration is cut short though, when Sonia calls with an SOS that Galarian Lugia is almost through to Hammerlocke. The party hops in a flying taxi and heads there immediately, healing up with items on the trip. They’re told Lily and Hop are the last line of defense right now and they’re exhausted. The party arrives to see Galarian Lugia climbing the steps to Hammerlocke, giving a knock out blow to Zacian who falls next to Zamazenta. Lily and Hop are stuck it’s path, facing down the monsterous Legendary.
+Peyton decides to have Espeon psychically fly him over Galarian Lugia towards Lily, but it’s too much too quickly for Espeon. Peyton is saved from a crash landing behind Lugia via Rillaboom jumping from it’s pokeball. Steve tries to fly down with Noivern, but Noivern is caught up in the odd winds around Lugia and falls, leaving Steve’s Rillaboom to catch them as well. Nova then joins them by riding down a rainbow road created by Rapidash, leaving the three faced off with Galarian Lugia, but on the opposite side of Lily and Hop. Steve tries to talk Galarian Lugia down, but it throws attacks his way Rillaboom has to pull him out of. They grit their teeth, knowing a fight is the only option.
+==== Episode 76 & 77 - VS Galarian Lugia ====
+Galarian Lugia comes out fast and strong. It hits like a truck and seems to barely feel the party’s attacks. The battle starts off hard and strong, Galarian Lugia’s frequent wide range moves cutting holes in the party’s defenses. The party’s heavy hitters like Amura, Slowbro, and the Rillabooms go down hard, but they threw out as much damage as they could against the beast. The trainers are forced to balance their attention between healing their backline and giving commands to prevent there whole teams from being wiped.
+Despite the challenges some of the party’s mons step up in a big way. Togetic absorbs multiple dragon type moves with his type advantage and gets off a 5 Power Grass Whip with Metronome. Espeon does consistent damage for half the battle, evading and dodging attacks like the expert battler that he was. Infernape is able to break two of Lugia’s breakpoints with Close Combats before fainting.
+It’s a long and hard fight but they bring Lugia to 1 Hp with Kingdra, Marowak, Espeon, Sylveon, and Toxtricity still standing, but heavily injured. The party tosses almost a dozen Ultra Balls in an attempt to peacefully reign in Galarian Lugia but none manage to hold it. With their supply exhausted, the party’s mons are finally brought down. Galarian Lugia bares down on the party, who hide among the rocks thrown about in the battle.
+At the last moment, Zacian intercepts an attack coming straight for the party. Lily leaps off Zacian’s back, thanking the party for buying her enough time to recover. Zacian uses Sacred Sword and defeats the weakened Lugia. Sonia runs up while it’s stunned and recovering it’s strength, presenting a master ball. Lily hands it off to the party who throw the oversized dynamax ball at Lugia. It seals the legendary away, ending the long ordeal since it’s awakening.
+Lily takes Lugia’s ball and promises to keep it safe. She thanks the party again for their hard work as people watching from the gates of Hammerlocke erupt in cheers, then a stampede of people towards the party. Lily, ever one to avoid a crowd, offers to fly the party back into town. Flying over the crowd they see familiar faces waving and shouting to them. The Johnsons are with their ex champion father, who gives the party a nod. Molly and Olivia are bouncing with joy along with other gym leaders. Leon is flying on Charizard nearby and gives them a big thumbs up. And finally on the stairs to Hammerlocke, at the back of the back, is Nurse Boom whose echoing praise overpowers the crowd. The camera pans up on Hammerlocke as the eternal dynamax storm of the last few weeks finally ends.
