Postcards from Pearl - Ep. 83 - Crimini City Gym, pt. II - A Krusty Krew & Some Fancy Lads

Previously, Captain Ron taught Pearl a new type of battling - the Link Battle! After spending the night on the S.S. Clara, it's now time for Pearl and Luca to prepare for their Gym Challenge against Lawrence. First thing's first: they've got to head to the Portobello Port Gym to sign up! Who might be waiting for them when they get there? What's this gym's whole gimmick? And... is something moving in Pearl's backpack?? GM: Jonah M.

Previously, Pearl and Luca (with the help of Lawrence and Captain Ron) successfully defeated and captured the raging Alpha Mega Gyarados outside of Portobello Port and kept it out of Team Nasty's clutches! Now that the storm has calmed, it's time to figure out what enraged it in the first place. How did the AMG Mega Evolve on its own? What caused it to emerge from the depths and make its way to this coastal town? And what has Captain Ron been up to lately?? GM: Jonah M.

Previously, Pearl and Luca found Captain Ron in the middle of a storm in Portobello Port! After a call with Professor Nichols, they realized the source of the tempest was a huge Mega Gyarados in the water making its way toward the port! What will our heroes do to stop this rampaging sea serpent? Is the SS Clara in grave danger? And what is Team Nasty doing here?? GM: Jonah M.

Previously, Pearl and Luca experienced the wonders of the housing market! After setting up their Secret Bases, some strange weather approaching Portobello Port caught their attention, and they ran into Captain Ron! What is Pearl's dad doing in town? What's the cause of this worrisome weather? How is Pearl going to function with a parental chaperone?? GM: Jonah M.

Previously, Pearl and Luca went to the Shrine of Gratitude to pay Shaymin a visit! After purifying a couple of Shadow Pokémon, Luca's Toxel egg hatched, along with the Radiant Stone! Now that they've got a Larvesta as a new traveling companion and their Pokémon know Secret Power, our heroes are deciding where to set up their Secret Bases! What floor plan will speak to their senses of style? What furniture and accessories will accentuate the space? And how is Pearl gonna afford this stuff?? GM: Jonah M.

Previously, Pearl and Luca parted ways with Bug Catcher Oliver and Dakota after Pearl and Oliver emerged victorious in the Bug Catching Contest. Now that our heroes have got a moment to breathe again (despite Petri the Muk's terrific odor), its time to get things in order and prepare for the next chapter of their journey! What other activities can Pearl and Luca find to do in and around Portobello Port? Are there Shadow Pokémon that need to be purified? And what's going on with this Wigglytuff and her attitude??

Previously, Pearl and Bug Catcher Oliver continued their search for the biggest, baddest bugs in the Enoki Woods, and barely made it back in time for the end of the competition! How will our heroes fare when judging comes? What have the other contestants caught? And who will face off in the battle for first place?? GM: Jonah M.

Previously, Pearl and Bug Catcher Oliver set off into the Enoki Woods to participate in the Bug Catching Contest, capturing a couple of Vapor Variant Pokémon in the process! As the clock keeps ticking, there's still just enough time left to try and track down one more bug! Will our heroes get sidetracked by shenanigans? What are the other contestants up to? And how many big bad bugs could there be?? GM: Jonah M.

Previously, Pearl, Luca, Bug Catcher Oliver, and Dakota descended into the sewers of Portobello Port to find Pearl's long-lost Muk. After discovering that it had grown much larger and stronger feasting on the slime of the city, Pearl finally captured Petri Dish the Muk! Now that they've had some time to wash the stink away, our heroes are preparing for the Bug Catching Contest! Will Pearl and Oliver work as a team? What other trainers are taking part in the competition? And what's going on with Genesect?? GM: Jonah M.

It's Christmas Eve, and Pearl and Luca are spending the holidays at the Enoki Village Pokémon Lab with friends new and old. All is calm, all is bright... until Danny Delibird shows up with his annual problem! What trouble has Danny gotten himself and his "elves" into this time? What is the Iron Bundle? And why is everything suddenly chrome?? The stakes are higher than ever, and it's up to our heroes to save Christmas! GM: Jonah M.
