We start with what must be the coolest cutscene in any Pokemon game. At a mysterious evil headquarters somewhere in a desert, the main character, Cody, blows part of the building up, steals their portable Pokemon snagging device, and rides off into the distance on his hover-motorcycle thing with his Espeon and Umbreon riding shotgun. Oh yeah, and then he blows up the rest of the building. We also see this evil team's leader, a really big guy who could probably rip us in half with ease.
Now we are at an abandoned train in the middle of a desert, which apparently makes for a profitable diner. Cody happens to overhear a couple of shady guys talking about what sounds like a successful kidnapping, but decides to not intervene as they depart in their hover-truck. Also, they had a large, brown, human-shaped sack with them, but I'm sure it was nothing.
Inside the diner Cody overhears a tv report about the blown up evil headquarters, which belonged to Team Snagem. That was fast. When trying to leave, Cody is pestered by Willie the Zigzagoon breeder. He is dispatched with ease, thanks to [insert name here] the Espeon and [insert name here] the Umbreon. Also, forgot to mention this, but all battles in this game are double battles.
Next we head to Phenac City, which is somehow overflowing with water despite being in the middle of the desert. Those two shady guys from earlier are now in the middle of the most awkward kidnapping ever, so I eventually fight the appropriately named Folly. His two Whismur go down quickly, and I am able to rescue the attractive girl who can see shadow Pokemon. What was her name again?
(I need a name.)
