victory_road | Event: The Reveal Glass

Across the Pokémon world, characters may have spotted a falling star last night. Or at least, one would think that's what it was: a naturally occurring phenomenon, rather than a legendary artifact. Specifically, the Reveal Glass fell to earth during a fight among a group of legendaries started by the return of a long-lost family member. But it's probably best to leave them to handle all that themselves, while your characters deal with other consequences.

The Reveal Glass shattered upon impact, and the shards scattered throughout Kanto, Johto, and the Sevii Islands… And made their way into the hearts of your characters. But bleeding isn't the concern here. Instead, the impact will hit when a character first looks into any reflective service. An eerie feeling hits them as they're transported to the Mirror Dimension.

While this realm can be many different things for different characters, one thing is always true: It is a place of honesty, where true selves are revealed. Those struck by a shard will find themselves facing truths they are no longer able to hide, and now must accept. Fortunately enough, even those who haven't been struck will be able to enter the Mirror Dimension during this event via a reflective surface to offer help. By the end of the 29th, things will return to normal. Characters will be back in the usual Pokémon world and their hearts will be rid of the shards, but time is strange in the Mirror Dimension, and the experience may feel like it goes on far longer than a day. Or, maybe that's just the emotional exhaustion.

The Reveal Glass plot is here. You can swing by the event info post for additional details and FAQ, and play out your characters’ enforced therapy on this post. As with most VR events, this plot is entirely optional and your characters don't need to take part at all.

“Sen! Sentret!”

Dobby happily squeaks in joy, he would love to face Morty someday. He is determined to grow stronger so he can become as strong as many of his older teammates someday and fight plenty of Ghost types. Harry is quite bemused by his Sentret’s battle ready eagerness and willingness to challenge Ghost types.

“Well that must have been an interesting experience to witness: I always assume that I need to counter the gym leaders’ teams with the types they’re weak against. For example I almost got worried when I sent out Pyra on Bugsy’s Heracross since she was partly weak to Fighting type but I was still amazed that she survived the whole battle and won her fight against it.”

Emporio’s suggestion does get him grinning in intrigued already, “Well now. It sounds like he is excited to face off Morty someday. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for Foresight and see about how to teach him that move. He would love to learn it as much as he wants to go after his team.”

“Sentret!”

"Generally, yeah! I wouldn't really recommend trying the opposite unless you were really sure what you were doing. Even I don't go with exact opposites most of the time..."

Ground isn't effective against flying for example, but it at least isn't Weak to flying either.

“Yeah. That is a fair and valid point. Doing the same strategy does get very boring once it becomes being overdone. I might have to help my team to learn some new strategies by the time I will have to face the remaining gym leader in Jotho and Kanto.”

“Sen-tret, Sentret, Sentret.”

"If you ever need advice, I could try helping?"

This talk has definitely done its job to make him forget (a bit) about the mirror world. He's already looking more like himself!

“Oh yes, I would love to get any help in training and gym battles at any time. Never hurts to learn new things and tricks along the way,” Harry happily smiles back as he wholeheartedly accepts any kind of help on getting better in battles from anyone.

Dobby happily bounces up and down in sheer joy too, squeaking varying versions of ‘Sentret’ too.

"In that case, you've got my number for then."

Perfect!

...

Now.

"So... ...where are we, right now?"

Because this sure isn't Sevii.

Oh right, he didn’t expect to realize that Emporio needs to get back to where he was supposed to be at.

“Hang on a minute. It looks like we’re now in Olivine City right now,” Harry could definitely spot the lighthouse from where they are at, “It must be the city’s very own lighthouse we’re seeing at the moment.

“Sentret?” Dobby soon stands on his tail to see the lighthouse properly.

"OLIVINE!?" Geeze! "At least there should be a ferry here to get me back then..."

Now that he looks though... Yep. "...Yep, that's the lighthouse alright..."

“Yeah, the ferry shouldn’t be this far away from here,” Harry nods in agreement as he checks to see the ferry schedule on his PokéGear, “I might be planning to go to Cianwood City and face Chuck first real soon before I could battle Jasmine. Last time I checked at her gym earlier this year, she was apparently too busy to attend to my gym challenge bid.”

“Sentret, Sentret,” Dobby squeaks as he begins to find the ferry in question.”

"Cianwood huh? That might be a good idea; it's weird, but Chuck's team is a little lower levelled than Jasmine I think..." He might be remembering wrong though. Don't quote him.

"Well...I guess I'll see you later, then. Good luck with your challenge!"

“I suppose that is possible. I will definitely need to get ready and hope for the best in that upcoming gym battle. Chuck is probably not going to go easy on me though. I mean, he does specialise in the Fighting type after all,” he nods as he tries to come up with a good battle plan against Chuck.

“Okay then. Will be seeing you around later on. And thanks for the good luck too, I’m going to be needing it after my horrible luck from earlier this year.”
