PLOT OF SAGE

Stuff surrounded by // is unfinished or placeholders for some event that I feel should be there but no idea what to put, (?) is just something unspecified.

Start game generic run yes
	-

==================

-You continue to Legato Town (Crossroads), where you hear a disturbance (someone yelling for help) up on the mountain. You go up and meet two grunts harassing an old man about some legends; you fight them off, and they run, saying that he was useless.
-You get some region history and some info in regards to the observatory (dangerous and closed down years ago) you can go up to the outside hub around it if you want.
	Note: Observatory is on the top of the mountain, and the interior is inaccessible at this point of time.

===================

//-At Dronia City, there is a disturbance in Stella’s work yard; you meet some grunts who are trying to quietly take a piece of metal. A ruckus occurs, and you defeat them; the Erion admin comes in and admonished them for being incompetent and loud, apologizes for the mess, and leaves.//

===================

-At Andante (Coastal) Town, you meet a life/coastguard. They are concerned about a sudden radio silence from the offshore Oil Rig, and want a backup partner to go and see what happened.

-After beating Cameron (Water Gym), you prove your strength and partner up with the life/coastguard, and gain access to the oil rig (via dive route?)

-You discover that it has been taken over by the Evil Team (cue dungeon). After fighting your way through the oil rig, you meet with the Erion admin, in which case you battle them. After the battle, they leave, saying that they got what they wanted.

-This gives you access to a dive area under the oil rig, where you find a temple detailing a small incomplete part of an ancient story/legend (really Quetzar’s and why/how he got sealed, but it is not specified at that time).

===================

-At Spiral Tower, you meet up with a scientist named Northington. He is studying Spiral Tower, as it seems to be made out of a special rock; he comments on how sad it is that people graffitied on it, and how they have no respect for ancient relics. You help him with (?)some job(?), get (?)some nice award(?) and leave.

===================

//-At Caesura Town (Desert), you meet a group of eccentric scientists who got into a fight with the local police. They were trying to access a protected area of the desert.//

===================

-The Grass/Dark Gym Leader notes that there is something disturbing the spirits of the jungle, and refuses to battle until everything is at rest (and/or they go out to investigate).
OR
-You meet a messenger at Fugue town asking around for help, saying that something is disturbing the spirits of the jungle. You set out to help.

-You venture deep into the haunted jungle to find a burned trail; the Evil Team and the Eronze Admin (and his underlings) are infiltrating a sacred temple.

-You battle them and clear them out. You enter the temple and find a special room with a wilted flower and a square indent.

-Sequoia, followed by Mangrove, rush in right behind you, saying that they heard about the discovery and the attempted destruction of it. They give some info on the temple (related to the three legendary spirits) and how a tablet seemed to be missing. This gives you a second part to Quetzar’s story.

-You return to fight the gym leader, with their thanks.

===================

-A friend you made in

ERACE ENCOUNTER

===================

-You arrive to the Observatory (a dungeon) to find a big hole in the wall; you may now enter. Cue dungeon.

-You arrive to the centre of the Observatory to find Northington and his three admins placing the three tablets in place, causing a strange star to appear in the sky. They notice you and escape.

-They dropped a piece of paper that details the full myth/history of Quetzar.

-You chase them to a small plateau on the very top of the mountain, where a ghostly ruined city full of rubble has now appeared out of starlight.

(?)-The Eronze, Erion, and Erace admins all block your way through the city. You must battle them.(?)

-You find Northington talking to Stone Quetzar in a centrepiece room, above a glorious ancient pokemon stadium. Xotec is floating over a pedestal between Northington and Quetzar.

-Northington tells Quetzar about the continued greed of man, and points to you as thieves coming to steal Xotec.

-Quetzar is enraged by this, and shreds into space form, causing a tear in space to form in the night sky. The city flashes into gold and is now whole.

-Northington maniacally laughs that they’ll all have to believe him now, but with a more serious tone, notes that the world will be a better place. He turns on you and battles you with the addition of Space Quetzar, stating that you cannot get in the way of his glory and plans now.

-After defeating him, Northington sobs that he was right all along and how all he wanted to do was prove those who mocked him wrong. Quetzar calms down and the city returns to rubble and starlight. You can return to get Xotec once you find the object to turn Quetzar into Space Quetzar

-Mangrove and Sequoia rush up to meet you, cue talking about your adventure. Sequoia tells you that you should continue onto the E4. Northington either escapes, or the police catch him.

===================

-You set off for the E4 and champion, concluding main game.

IGNORING
Northington is a core member/researcher of the Evil Team but is not its Leader, [OR] Northington helps/is helped by the Evil Team but is not a member of it.
While there is definitely and canonically a Leader for the Evil Team, the Leader is not Northington, nor a CEO (either foreign or domestic) nor anyone related to these two definitions. (An upcoming survey will decide all details of the Evil Team and its members that aren't explicitly defined by the plot.)
