Pokemon Ruby: Nuzlocke Challenge - Pt. 10

DAY 10: Chasing Magma
So I went to Mt. Pyre, but before I went inside, I took this opportunity to fish for a new potential/backup teammate, Mt. Pyre's entrance being on a new route and all. And thus, Henrietta the Wailmer joined the group.

I went inside, where many people were mourning their dearly departed Pokemon. After all, Mt. Pyre is a giant gravesite. I'm sure Ziggy and Nigel are resting here, rooting for my success in my journey...

Oh, and there were some trainers here wanting to battle. Isn't that kind of disrespectful? Well, either way, I beat each one of them with no problem.

I also ran into a Duskull, which I caught and named Ghoul. Despite its name, it's female. ...I have a lot of female Pokemon, I noticed. Way more than male Pokemon.

I went outside on the foggy slope after clearing up the business inside of the mountain, and found Team Magma grunts blocking the way. Perhaps going through with the next step in their scheme. I beat all of them easily, but was unable to stop Maxie from taking the Blue Orb from that old couple. They gave me the Red Orb and asked me to stop him from causing destruction. The old man also told me the story of the two large ancient Pokemon that carved out the Hoenn region during their fierce battle, before they were calmed by the orbs. ...Yeah, we all know that that's not the full story.

Anyway, Maxie mentioned Slateport City, so I flew there. Upon arriving, I headed to the shipyard and found Captain Stern being interviewed by those two news reporters that I beat many times before. Apparently, Stern found a cave underwater, and they were interviewing him about it. After they left Team Magma announced from somewhere that they were taking Stern's submarine. Stern and I ran inside of the Shipyard, and sure enough, we got there just in time to see the sub swiped.

So, now it's time to go after them. Maxie stupidly mentioned that Magma's hideout was in Lilycove. It's pretty obvious with all of the grunts around town, but the fact that he keep announcing his next destination to me is just stupid. And people wonder why Team Magma/Aqua are the worst enemy teams in Pokemon...
