I don't count the Pokédex entries. Too many of them are just obviously wrong.
Top 10 Most Physics-Breaking Pokémon! I don't actually agree with Wailord, because it is called the "Whale Float Pokémon", so it is clearly designed to be lighter than air. But the rest of it? Yeah, Pokémon are broken, even in their own universe.
Besides, Regigigas can barely move. Stupid useless ability.
Anyway, on with our adventure.
It turns out that the elevator wasn't locked. To think: Had they just locked the door, the game would have essentially been over and they would have been successful in conquering the world.

Hmm, could they be talking about the Professor? Dude, if you want info on Purification, you should be talking to my mom, she's the most competent person at that research facility.

Hey, you challenged me to a battle, man. I'm not the one who was slacking off at work, don't even try to pull that. I'm so reporting you to your boss.
"That man is playing Galaga!"

My name's Axel. I'm your new janitor. I'm emptying out all of those little red and white dustbins you guys have all over the place. Don't mind me.
...She doesn't fall for it.

Shadow-
Aieee! A spider! I hate Spiders! GET IT AWAY!
Ahem.
Shadow Pokémon Alert
Actually, I don't have much problem with Bug Pokémon, and Spinarak is kind of cute (and Ariados looks kind of awesome). But in real life, bugs and spiders do freak me out. I hate bugs.

Wow. I made a girl cry. I feel like a complete jerk now. Thanks for that, game.
GXXE01-18.png
Takin' out the trash. *Whistles*
That battle with the girl, in addition to getting me a Spinarak and making me feel like a jerk, also finished purifying Houndour. So I took him back to Azalea Town. Because, let's face it, my Pokémon team is far more important than the fate of the Professor. Sure, they may be torturing him for information about Purification...
But on the other hand: Hellhound puppy! A man needs to set priorities.

Interesting, so the emulator can track daily progress, just like the game can. Cool.
I should also note that Leppa are my favorite type of berry, because they restore PP, and I hate running out of PP.

Who's a cute widdly doggie? Yes you are!
I guess that's everything. Time to go rescue the Professor (again). They wouldn't have moved him, would they?
GXXE01-21.png
Now I'm getting some serious Black Omen flashbacks. Hmm, I wonder if I could catch Lavos in a Pokéball...
A little bit further ahead, and we jump to a scene with our villains. Well, our villains and the Professor. He's not actually a villain, right? Just an obstacle to our world domination scheme?

The lady makes a fair point, Professor. Why don't you tell her about your Purification research? We don't want the XD001 to be anything less than "fabulous", do we?
GXXE01-24.png
Really? Why not?
GXXE01-25.png
Seriously. How could you refuse that adorable face?
GXXE01-30.png
I agree! If you'd just walked up and asked, we'd have totally helped you out. Naps is a jerk who had to throw the Professor in a truck, it's all his fault.
GXXE01-31.png
First the scientist who tried to blame me for his slacking off, now Naps trying to blame the Professor because of his poor invitation techniques. Cipher may be dedicated to their cosplay, but they really try to avoid taking responsibility for their actions a lot.

Wait, XD001 dropped a ship? So that would make XD001 the Shadow Lugia.
Professor, why aren't you helping these nice people perfect the most awesome Pokémon in existence?
Oh, that's right, you didn't get to see the opening cutscene, so you don't actually know how awesome XD001 is. Lovrina is right, you just can't understand.
GXXE01-35.png
Wow, now you're bad mouthing her to her underlings? Not cool, Professor.
GXXE01-37.png
Oh, yes. These are totally reasonable, "let's talk things out" people.
