 Previously on Pokemon Soul Link, Dion and Dada were finally able to overcome the challenges of Cerulean City by taking down the fearsome gym trainer known as Misty and acquiring their Cascade Badge. Unfortunately, the trials they faced here would prove to take many a friend. But if their tears now dried and eyes newly refocused on Vermillion City, one can hardly help but wonder what new adventures and Pokemon await in Season 2 of Soul Link. We finally escaped Cerulean City, Dion, where we made it down into the tunnels. I think the next gym leader up is actually a electric type, when he's not randomized. Electric? Oh, when he's not randomized? Yeah, but first we gotta make it through this long tunnel again, so I don't know about you. Then you swear, on three? On three, bro. All right. One, two, three, go! Yeah, I got a little cheap, I got a little cheap head start, I got a little cheap head start, I cheated. I actually cheated. Yep, I beat you anyway. I saw you were ahead, so I helped the space boy. I activated my hyperspeed. Oh, I'm scared all over again, Dion. I'm scared all over again. We're here, dude. I made it to Vermillion, on the road to Vermillion. That's Viridian in the sign. That's Viridian, bro. Viridian, Vermillion, Virillion, Virillion, Virillion. Bro, you cook yourself in the weirdo. Vermillion City, what is going on? There are fishermen here. Oh, there's a new gym. Yes, dude, Dion. We got a fish. What are all these Pokemon here, bro? Dion, come get your, why are you in the Pokemon fan club? Get out of that weirdo's house. Come get this old fishing rod, because you know what this means, Dion. Got an old rod. All right, hear me out. Get your old rod. And you know how normally we have to go to grass routes, because towns, how are you supposed to catch a Pokemon in a town, you know? There's no tall grass. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, Dion, there is water, so we can fish in Vermillion City. I don't think there's much we can fish, because it's an old rod, so why do you have to share the Pokemon? How do you whip out the old fishing rod, bro? You got to go get it from your bag, dude. Why was he in the water? I'm a bear. I like to swim sometimes. Pokemon's on the hook. Ah, it's nursery. All right, I'm going to bring Slimey out. Not anything would fucking destroy this thing. All right, my luck stats just a little higher than Dotto, so you know what? Huh? Just going to throw this Pokeball. You're not built like that, dude. Bro, you're not that guy. Watch how I'm constructed. We're not built. Oh, dude, this earth is... Shake. Ah, damn it. This earth's work is incredibly tough. All right, I'm going to try. I mean, I guess I'll try and move for my weakest. Bro, we need master balls. That's what we need, bro. What the hell? Why is yours almost working? Built a little different, bro. I can't. I'd be built different. This earth's work tough as hell. It's only level five, so it won't be able to take any hit from anything. I got it. I got it. Well, now that puts pressure on me to acquire it. Good luck. 5'11", 277 pound grizzly bear, bro. And this guy built almost six foot there. This guy's a fucking unit, bro. No! You almost had him. I'm naming him Ted. Even though I don't think I'm going to be keeping this function alive. Wait, don't use the last one. Oh, you... I think you got to use your weakest attack. Look at all... I don't... I think it's just your only chance, bro. I don't know what else you can do. Actually, I'm quite low. Hmm, that could be a little strategy. What? What are you thinking? Because water spout works off my health. Oh, spittin'? Let's do it, dude. I'm pretty low. But I feel like this is still not smart. Bro, what other choice do we have? The Pokeball? We're going to lose it if you use that Pokeball right now. So I say hit it. You want me to try? Bro, I'll take the fall if it doesn't work, bro. It's on me. There's no way he lives this. Ah, not in a million years. Well, we had to try, Dotto. We had to try and save yourself a Pokeball, bro. Maybe people wouldn't even like the Bear Brothers, because we had to try. I would have enjoyed having more Pokebots, too. I'm like, hold on. Damn, look at him, bro. He's like, look at his dumbass. Well, his dumbass was never meant to stay, I guess. They still don't got great balls, man. What up with these places? Get better stuff. Goodbye, Ted. Didn't know you for long. It's fun traveling with you, Ted. Hey, man, I keep failing. All right, there's more grass, Dion. Never give up on your dreams, dude. All right, what do you want to do first? Route 11 or the old Diglett's Cave, dude? Well, we're going to have to do both, bro. In your video, I say it's your call, bro. Dion, as you said, it is my video, and I have decided that I'm going to chance my luck and take my talents to Diglett's Cave. What, what, what happened? I was just thinking you could, uh, you could treat yourself to an escape rope at the store, bro. I bought one just in case they didn't get diced. No, I won't go too far. I'm not trying to get back, dude. I'm going to go down the ladder one, and then I'm just going to be right here, and I'm just going to find a little Diglett, dude. Diglett, Diglett, Diglett, Diglett, Diglett, Diglett. No! Something better, dude, just give me something better than Shuckle Man. Why Shuckle Man? Oh, no, wait, so... If I've already... Holy shit, Dion! You should, you should forgo Doof Claws, honestly. That thing's a beast. It just brings back too many memories, bro. Fuck it, dude, call him Dweeb Spars. He could be his brother. Okay, so he... He can survive a Dig. Level 31, I'm 32. Bro, he's the first thing that's ever been able to stand up to Bower. That's what I'm saying. Oh, he has a water spout. He has a water spout that would have killed you. Oh. Uh... Don't let Dweeb Spars do you like this, man. Bro, you already named him for me. Please don't poison me, Shuckle. How annoying can you possibly be, dude? Thunderbolt, yeah. Hey, this guy has Thunderbolt and water spout? Yeah, you gotta join the team, bro. Yeah, little Dweeb Spars is good at the game, dude. You've got a variety of moves, bro. You can tell I'm getting desperate because I'm starting to throw Pokeballs already. Shuckle wants to join the team. Let's go! Even though I don't like you, little man. I don't know what I call you. You're yellow health. I think that should be enough. Come join me. I will use your talents. Let's go! I don't know what to name this guy. Nah, nah, bro. I'm not going to disrespect him by calling him Dweeb Spars. This is Dude Spars, bro. And I don't even got to train his little dumb ass, bro. He's level 31. He's my second strongest Pokemon now. You don't have to train him. That's bullshit, man. How did you catch a guy that strong? Bro, because Bower's stronger, bro. Dude, I completely forgot that we have to do a team summary. We never did that, yeah. We never did. We had a raise. Hold on, hold on. Let's step outside the Pokemon Center and let's officially introduce our team. Our new team, bro. Our four men. Yeah. Hold on. Let's go through it. All right. So here is our official team so far. Things are finally starting to look up for me and Dion. Things were looking real bad before. But we have our starters. I'll go ahead and introduce Woo. Woo the Spinda. Pure power. Pure strength. Leads the team well. Does it with a smile on her face. You want to introduce Bower? I mean, what introduction does this guy need, man? This guy is a unit. This guy shows up and just gets it done. All strength, bro. Not power, but Bower, okay? This guy digs. That's his iconic move. The same way Ash yells Thunderbolt with Pikachu. I yell dig with my Bower, bro. And then we got our second pair, our newest pair after a few travesties. We got Faith, the little cacnea, dude. Cacnea. But I got Slimy. Me and Slimy don't get along too much. This guy's not the smartest of the bunch, but he's secure and he makes noise. He's the water type. In case you, yeah. The backstory is I caught Faith at our lowest moment. That's why I named it Faith, you know, so we would stay strong. And then up next, we got Ducksworth. I named him Slimy because he's Slimy. I got Ducksworth in my third slot. I got Pinky. He built like a Pinky. He's new. He's the water type of a bunch. And then of course you just saw, I named him Rocketti because it kind of looks like a spaghetti and some rocks. So this is Rocketti. Bro, DudeSparse is ugly as hell, but he's going to carry on the legacy for DorkSparse. Bro, go to DudeSparse's moveset. I'm trying to see how built that man is. Yeah, this guy, he's strong though. Quick attack. Water's about end thunderball. Splash. Thunderbolt. Yeah, we live him with this. DorkSparse. Let's go. All right, what's next? Route 11, right? Yeah, it's Route 11, bro. Look, it's your video, bro. Do you want to do the honors or should I do this one? I went first on Digglet's Cave, so you got to go first on this one, man. Well, treat yourself. I'm about to do this. Let's get it. Do it, man. Do it. Let's go. Let's go. I feel like this is going to really cement our team. This is going to cement it. What in the fuck? Damn. This guy is ugly, bro. That's all I can say. All I can say to that is, damn. You got cooked on that one. Imagine not being... Oh, what a duo, though. You got ugly, and I got beauty, dude. Let's take it. You are ugly. You are ugly, little fuck. I got a beautiful little thing. Oh, wait. Isn't Bug really good against Grass? Yes, I am. I am leaving. I'm just going to throw a Pokeball, frame one. Bro, I caught it without throwing anything. I was on the first attempt. He really wanted to... He was like, please take me. Oh, no. No, no, no. No, no, no, no. Stop. Stop. Stop. Beautiful. I stop. Immediate action. Stop. I already know what... I already know what I'm naming him, bro. I named my fish... I named my fish Uglass, by the way. Damn, it has Aerial Ace too. Beautiful. You could really be an asset. Joy in the team. Please, man. The only reason I'm going to hold out faith for Uglass is because I know there's a chance he evolves into like a Gyarados or some shit. Yeah. Because if you guys didn't know, when they evolved, they could just turn into any random of their type. How would they know? Nothing we've had has ever evolved, bro. Nothing's gotten that far yet, bro. Please, little beautiful fly, dude. Get in the... team. Bro, there is a minefield of trainers. There is a minefield of trainers. I don't know if we want to do that. I mean, we could partake. If you want to before we get on the yacht. Oh, well, he can see. Damn. He's got eyes, bro. Bro, he eats baby carrots out the back. Holy shit, dude. Actually, dude sparse. Why don't you show what you're worth, bro? Why you got to do dude sparse? Why you got to have dude sparse do your... Please. Yes! Man, that was like a seven-minute journey. Yes. All right, beauty fly. Despite its appearance, it has an aggressive nature. I'm no wonder, dude. Aggressive nature as beauty fly, man. This is just a beautiful dude right here, Chad. My team looking kind of stupid still. Me too, bro. I got ugly-ass Pokemon. Again, I made this point in D.O.D.'s video, but my team looks like I just went to, like, the garage sale of Pokemon and took what was left there because I have... Bro, you're telling me? Look at Pinky's dumbass next to Slimey, next to Oglas. The fucking this dumb sparse is ugly as fuck, too, bro. But he's strong, dude. He's strong, but he's got, like, ugly strength, bro. All right, we have to... I'm gonna train up Chad a little bit, I think. I'm gonna go do a little bit of training. Actually, you know, we've got trainers up here, why not? What am I afraid of? I'm not... I don't feel fear anymore, honestly. I used to feel constant fear and anxiety walking around, but now... Swampert? I ain't gonna lie, Oglas. You're gonna get out of there, bro. Damn, but Faith could... Wait, what level was him? What level was him? 16. I'm gonna let... Wait, scout it out. I want to see what Swampert does. You sand-tuned, but I wouldn't buy that. I'm gonna... I'm taking a big risk. I'm taking a big risk. You don't have to. I'm taking... I have faith. No! Okay, you're fine. Eat it up for breakfast, which I did, or yeah, yeah, he throws two because it's a bone meringue. Rapidash. Okay, Chad, you can't take a Rapidash, but that's fine. I'm gonna leave you in for the little Switch XP, and then I'm gonna get out of there. And you know what? Duck's worth can actually... Dude, I have a team now, dude. Yeah, I know. We actually constructed that. Before, it was like I had to just throw rocks at everything. Oh, Rapidash about to get... Rapidash about to get cooked. Wait, I'm not afraid of you, though. Slimy, go ahead. Go ahead. Show your worth. Throw all this poop water on him. Damn, I just threw all that water on this idiot's fire. Melt this fucking ice off. Yeah, defrost! Let's go, reeds! Boom! Water pulse. We out here winning games. Duck's worth. Cooked again. What? Why do you know? I know an insanely powerful grass move. No. Oh, my God, Dotto. You scared the fuck out of me, dude. And I'm switching. That was crazy. Bro, I ain't gonna lie. I have no emotional connection to fucking Uglas. Hey, you better get one, bro. You better get an emotional connection. If this guy goes, man. No, what do you know? Dotto, how are you already forgetting our struggles? I know, bro, but like now that we have so many, we're in a surplus, bro. You're just, you're letting your emotions escape. Remember the pain, dude. Remember the rage. This guy does nothing, bro. It's a fish, bro. It's a fish! Oh, my God! I do appreciate life. You threw Uglas away. Dude, you know what you were doing. Chad! Chad is dead in my arms. Bro, it was a level 10. I was level 12. How did he one-shot me? Because you were a little Uglas fish, dude. It's no, bro. I didn't know he was gonna get one shot. I would have switched him out. You knew. I did not know. I did not know. You started bringing it up. You said, oh, I don't even care what happens to this Uglas. Bro, now Chad is dead. I'm sorry. I didn't know there was a tight disadvantage with Uglas. He wasn't. I don't even think it was a tight disadvantage. I just think you're a little baby fish and you were having him fight a grown-ass adult. And now we're back down to four. And one of my four is Riketti. Rock spaghetti. If it makes you feel any better, bro. At least we don't got to look at Uglas. Wait, look. Look, he had a gift for you, Dion. He had TM43. He's holding it. Take it from him. Go back and take his item. Go up to your TM case. Open that up. TM43. What did ugly-ass get you for Christmas? Sweets. He just wanted to be sweet to you, Dion. Bro. So he smelled good, but he's ugly. OK. And you killed him. He put on his best perfume to try to make up for his looks. And you killed him. Bro, I didn't do it on purpose, man. Don't try to kill me, bro. Dion, imagine actually having more than six Pokemon. I have this whole box I made for the gang. Look at how many members I have, dude. Not a nil-zero. You want to go on a boat? Talk about it? I guess. God damn it. Just go on a boat, bro. All right. Let's go to the yacht. Oh, my God. Big yacht, dude. Welcome to the SSN. Excuse me. Do you have a ticket? Yeah. Here's my ticket. Yes. Oh, man. All right, Dotto. Dion and Dotto off on another whirlwind adventure. Let's go. Who's that Pokemon? It's like a lily pad, bro. I don't know what that is. It's a lombray. That thing's ugly, bro. What? Nah, bro. You can't say that. What the hell? Yeah. Oh, we're going to get our asses. Nah, bro. We're ready for this. I'm going room to room. I'm getting all the experience I can, dude. I'll start with Slimy. Slimy's ugly. Please stop calling your Pokemon ugly, bro. We know how the last one went. Why, dude? I lost. Bro, I lost my Growlithe. We really wanted to build something. I don't want to growlithe this way. Dude, you're bringing up old things, man. You're bringing up old things. You can't bring that up. You're bringing back. That's so old, bro. I'm scared now, bro. I didn't realize I could get one shot. There's no way he does 60. He's muddy water. I'm going to use Bubble Beam this time. I missed Muddy Water last time. All right, let's Bubble Beam this idiot. Slimy's so stupid looking with his open mouth, bro. Ooh, one shot. But he's good. Your team is ugly. You just got to accept that. No, bro. Just because they're ugly doesn't mean they can't be your friends, man. Also, I know this is going to sound embarrassing due to our current financial state. But if you see any trash cans, try digging through them. They could have good items in them. Oh, my God, bro. That's embarrassing. Well, we don't have much else. Stop it. You're scaring the hoes, bro. We're down tremendous, dude. I'm going door to door barding into people's rooms saying, hey, I could cook you. That woman thought I was a waiter. I don't beat the shit out of her. Whoa. Trap pins. Look at Trapin's dumb-ass face, bro. Yo, why that actually rhyme style, dude? That's crazy. He just got. Hey. How's it going? I'm Trap Pinch. I get you out of Pinch. I'm pretty small, so I got to look up at you. Oh, there's a trainer. He said, check out what I fished up. Let's see, bro. Bro, why are you looking at me like that? Why are you perking his booty out like that, bro? He's like, oh, man. He fished that up? What type is this, bro? Ice type. Will that cook water? No. OK. Anything I think we're in a bit of a stalemate. Yeah, I think it will cook anything else. It might try to lay a little hits on you, though. Wait, can DudeSparse? Is DudeSparse ground water? He's normal. I don't know where you got the water part from or the ground part. He'd be doing shit, bro. I don't know. He does a lot, bro. He do be doing things. I'm not going to lie to you. Magnitude 10. Oh. Oh, wow. I didn't do anything. Hariyama. Oh, Chad would have... Chad would have handled Hariyama, but I don't have Chad anymore. Yeah, and guess what? Growlies would have handled Bailey, but I don't have Crowley anymore. You're bringing up old things, bro. I think you keep bringing up old shit, and when you do, I will too. My wood is French. I still have a Band-Aid. Oh, he's only got Graveler. Oh, Slammy about to one-shot. Hey, one-shot in chat. Look at this TOD. Damn cooked. By the way, careful where you're stepping, by the way. Don't accidentally go too far. If you go too far, you will encounter what is go. We got to be ready for this, dude. I don't remember. What is go could have anything. I don't remember his team at all. It's been a week since we've last seen what is go. He's just got that... Zangus. Yeah, Zangus. He's got Zangus, right? Yeah. That's all I remember, but it's been weeks. Who knows? He could have trained up a whole new team by now. What type is jiggly again? Normal. Just normal, okay. Slammy, you could probably handle this, right? Yeah, you can handle this. You just let Slammy do everything today. Actually, you know what? Nah. Somebody else got to prove his worth. Pinky, get out there, bro. It's finally Pinky's time to shine, dude. Mean look. Imagine that just kills Pinky. Pinky can't escape now, bro. He didn't want to run. He looks on you, bro. Yeah, Pinky, you know, bitch. Boom, boom, boom, boom. I just threw rocks on you, little dumbass. Ooh, Pinky one shot him. Good shit, Pinky. Uh, psychic pipe? I don't know. I guess Ducksworth just stays out because it's Ducksworth there. National Ducksworth there. Can I get a Ducksworth check in the comment section if you like Ducksworth and respect him? Just comment, we like Ducksworth. Endeavor. Why you move like... Oh, my God. Okay. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. All Endeavor does is bring your health down to what his health is. So that means he has 17 health left. I mean, you might still want to... Yeah. No, I'm going to switch out, bro. Nah, we cutting it. We cutting a little too close, bro. Are you trainers? Oh, no, you're not trainers. Oh, man. Oh, man. Dion, I'm ready. I'm waiting for you, Dion. I'm here, bro. You're here? Yeah, I'm here. Let's go. Careful, Dion. Careful, Dion. Bro, we had to do it, bro. Bonjour. Bonjour. Bonjour is going. Imagine seeing you here. Will you really invite it? So, how's your Pokedex coming? I already caught 40 kinds, pal. Get the kinds right away. Damn, he cookin' us. Bro, he roastin' us. He ain't playin' us all week, bro. He just cooked our shit, bro. Damn, he just cooked us. Oh, it's four on four. Oh, it's a beautiful line. And a G.R., dude. Wait! Hold on! Oh, he's got lines the ones we've caught. Yeah, I was going to say it looks like we've all lost something, Dion. We're seeing memories of our shattered spirits. God, bro. These are those we've lost. He has the ghost of our old Pokémon doll. Ooh, faith be cookin'. What cooks a bug type? I mean, he's bug-flying, so you could just electric shock him. Okay. So you mean with DudeSparse? I would say DudeSparse, yes. Also, he has a Regiroc, Dion. He has a Regiroc. All right, Thunderbolt. Damn, I cooked that bug, bro. Shout out to Dotto's Beautifly. About to send out Lapras? Oh, no, I ain't changing Pokémon. You about to get electrocuted. Look at Lapras' dumb-ass mouth. Whoa! Chimeco. Damn, so his team is just completely different from both of us. Yeah. Chimeco. That's what it seems like. This man just is a master of Pokémon. He caught them all. Ice Beam? That's scary. Back in the day, that would have cooked your ass. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. What happened to your starter? Oh, here he is. Nah, it's a rematch, dude. Fuck you, bitch. I'm waiting for you, Dion. I'm going to finish this. Yeah, have Bower out, because I think we both want the run back. I'm going to dig on this little dumb-ass. Go ahead, throw an attack. That's what you do every time. Bro, no, I punch sometimes. All right, it's raining, whatever, bro. Get punched. Ah! Who's next? Spinda? Nah, we need this. It's time for the run back, dude. Here's the run back, bro. Here's what I'm going to do for you. I'm going to try and attack you. I'm going to make it quick. Oko City, Fire, Electricity, Ice, all three elements combined. I got rid of him. I'm going to dig. Bro, his strongest Pokémon is level 20. And you were worried about this guy? Bro, he's a rival. Bro, I don't even respect this guy, bro. He got me in the first half, but he ain't never got me again, bro. He'll never get me again. He just told us we can get cut from the chef. Oh, the ability. So now? I thought you meant like a haircut. I was like, damn, you're about to give me a cut. All right, now this is going to be a little awkward, though, Dion, because we are going to have to give him a little back rub. Oh, god. Yeah, you're going to have to give him a little back rub. This feels weird. I didn't know I had to give this man a rundown. Oh, thank you. I'm pretty much better than you. I'm going to see why it didn't cut. Well, Dion, you know, times were different back when this game came out, you know? It was normal to give a 80 year old man a fucking rub down. All right, we got cut, man. Let's just get out of here. Let's just get out of here and never talk about this again, bro. Dion, wait, wait. Oh, no. All right. Do you want to have a dramatic moment? I wanted to take in the scenery one more time before they left. Oh, it's leaving. Bye, boat. Goodbye. And that's a huge part of our lives right there, Dion. Hey, bro. Oh, so beautiful. Hey, bro. Wouldn't have had it with anyone else, bro. You know, man, we had our differences, you know, with what happened, but at the end of the day, our souls are linked and whatever happens happens. And I'm glad we're going through it together, you know? You know what? You're absolutely right. Even if you did cost me, you know, a couple of Pokemon here and there. It's fine, bro. Because I did the same. I did the same to you. And it's all in the past. You know, mine were mistakes. Yours was a choice. And it just happens. You know, that's that's interesting. That's an interesting way to put it. But with that ship sailing off into the sunset and our victories and defeats behind us, I think I'm ready to take down the gym next time, of course, on solely.
