Twelve! It's some kind of milestone or something! And once again, a glitch breaks my save!
Wait, what?
[spoiler=I wasn't supposed to tell you that]
We start our journey with another curator, Pryce. Or as the game calls him, MR.LIU, WILLOW, AND GMLTE'WID
One of these lines is more suspect than the others.
...Something. Didn't get the picture.
Badass.
Alright, pretty easy so far, just need to...
Huh?
Let's try that again...
Okay...
That didn't work either.
Third time's the charm, right?
NOPE
It's a good thing I have SAVE STATES, or that would have been awful.
As mentioned in part 5, rest breaks the game. This guy's strategy revolves around rest. The answer is to grind until he can't use it anymore.
Oh my god that thing is cute. I want one.
Of course, grinding means that I can't leave any survivors.
And eventually...
This is what you guys cursed me with. A flower dinosaur.
I'm okay with this.
Anyway, round 4.
The grinding helped immensely.
Not as much as the two critical hits, but hey.
That makes seven. Out of... Eight, or sixteen.
With that done, I can focus all of my energy into getting that budge and finishing the game.
...Is what I would say, but the plot literally just called.
So, there's a terrorist plot involving a broadcast tower and MISSILE BOMB. Nintendo was dark in 2000.
I don't feel comfortable making terrible jokes about that, so here's exploration!
The sad part? The name's not wrong.
And in both Japanese and English, this is the Ice Path. Close enough.
There's a sliding-on-frictionless-ice puzzle, and a rocks puzzle.
Everyone died.
That part about me ice skating in the preview? I lied, it happens now.
And then the game opens up some introspection. It asks a vital question about what I've been doing since the very beginning, forcing me to explore the depth and breadth of all of my experiences thus far.
[spoiler=The question]
With that weighing heavily on my heart, I decided to do what any sane person would do and enslave animals I mean, what?
I like this one.
This one, not so much.
And since there's nothing else of value in that cave, I left.
And found the eighth gym.
Except I have to finish the plot first.
So I went to get some supplies before saving that part for next week, because this one's almost done.
And more things broke.
[spoiler=NEXT TIME... ON POKEMON VIETNAMESE CRYSTAL]

I defeat Missile Bomb... Once and for all.

TO COMPETE
[9:25:55 PM] Erika: Huh?
[9:26:11 PM] Erika: Is that Pryce?
[9:26:16 PM] Alg: Gym Leader Pryce would like to battle
[9:26:25 PM] Alg: And then the freezing and the resetting
[9:26:25 PM] Erika: So Pryce = WID
[9:26:41 PM] Erika: Make sure to back up the save, too
[9:26:46 PM] Alg: They also call him MR.LIU and WILLOW
[9:26:48 PM] Alg: And done
[9:26:53 PM] Erika: I did call that
[9:27:07 PM] Erika: I called that his name would have something to do with willows
[9:27:21 PM] Erika: The character is used in his Chinese name, that's why
[9:27:45 PM] Erika: And one of the characters possible for LIU is the character for willow
[9:28:01 PM] Alg: How straightforward
[9:28:16 PM] Erika: Not sure how they got WID
[9:30:25 PM] Alg: Yaay, save-breaking crash!
[9:30:33 PM] Erika: What, really?
[9:30:41 PM] Alg: That's what the backup is for
[9:30:53 PM] Erika: Aren't you glad I reminded you now?
[9:31:20 PM] Alg: Just have to go through his trainers again
