Text Play: Pokémon Xenoverse #35

Hello, and welcome back to the Eldiw Region! This is entry number 35 in my Text Play of Pokémon Xenoverse!

Now, as is tradition, I must warn you, I will be spoiling this game. 

If you want to play the game yourself, you can download it here. And with that out of the way, let's do this!

Last time, we went through the Rock Room of Wallace Daddy's gym in Hypelion City. We had to battle all four members of the Roggenrola band to get the key to another room in the gym: The Dance Room. 

Welcome to the Dance Room. Time to get funky like a monkey, as the late Dusty Rhodes would say.

This room gives me a couple thoughts about ol' Wally. Based on what I have heard about his music, I can imagine that his work touches on a variety of genres. I think he also owns a record label, and it can be implied that he signs artists in a variety of genres as well. That's pretty neat.

Anyway, as can be seen in the screenshot, our fanboy is here as well. He jokes about us having rhythm in our blood, then explains that the Dance Room is full of breakers and, well...dancers. Duh. Basically, if you love getting down to pumping EDM in Eldiw, you go here. Let's head on down.

And here is the dance floor. Great place to get funky. Let's head to the right.

Looks like we got a bar. I get the idea that this place is also a nightclub. Would make sense. Wally is a businessman, and I can imagine he also would run a nightclub in his gym. Gives trainers a place to relax and let off some steam before or after a battle. We talk to the lady in a black cap.

Rika's idea of dancing is naturally, a Pokémon battle. Let's dance!

Hip Hop Rika
1st Pokémon: Kricketune (Lv. 44) -Defeated by Trishout.

Once she's defeated, she shows you this photo, autographed by Wally himself.

See that line of glowing tiles? That is a clue. A clue to what? You'll see.

Anyway, let's explore this place a bit more, shall we? If we go back to the dance floor and go down...

What is that on the right? A hot tub? I mean, it wouldn't make sense for a regular bathtub to be there. Ah, never mind. I'm going to talk to the DJ. Maybe I can get him to play "Freebird". It turns out he has a line of requests already, so we'll have to wait a while.

If we go back to the dance floor and go to the right, we find...another bar!

I'm guessing this Gym is also a good place to get drunk.

Up above this bar is a VIP area, which we're not allowed in. 

Next to the bar is a man in an orange hoodie. He likes the music here, and thinks rock is garbage. As a fan of rock, I feel a great need to smack this man. Instead, I'll smack him in a Pokémon battle.

(Hip Hop) Jake
1st Pokémon: Noibat (Lv. 40) - Defeated by Trishout
2nd Pokémon: Tokakle (Lv. 40) - Defeated by Harrowk
3rd Pokémon: Loudred (Lv. 42) - Defeated by Xatu. Palossand did heavy damage, but got switched to Xatu.

That's what you get for trashing rock 'n' roll, my friend.

Back on the dance floor! There's a Hip-Hop girl on here we can fight. She remarks we're a bit too young to dance with her. Which makes sense, our player character is a teenager, after all. But we can have a Pokémon battle. I'm all for that!

(Hip Hop) Miya
1st Pokémon: Jigglypuff (Lv. 41) - Defeated by Trishout
2nd Pokémon: Chatot (Lv. 41) - Defeated by Xatu

And I'm afraid that's where we're going to have to stop for the month. I do apologize, but I didn't get the chance to go as far in this gym as I would have liked. Hopefully, next month will get us through this place. Wish me luck! Thanks for reading this blog entry! If you liked it, show it off! Take care of yourselves and each other! See you next time!
