[PokéMaster]

I will be writing a walkthrough for Pokémon XD soon. I will do it on my second journey through the game, getting every trainer's name and all of their Pokémon. I hope you will enjoy it.

Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness

The game begins by letting you choose your name. As always, there is a list of names for you to choose from: Michael, David and Adam.

Once you've chosen your name, there is a short animation sequence. The luxurious cruiser, the S.S. Libra is sailling through the sea. Helicopters surround the ship as the captain and the sailor watch from the bridge. A giant shadow appears over the boat. Then, a huge, dark-colored bird appears over the shadow. It appears to be a purple Lugia with red eyes. One of the helicopter pilots' eyeshields flashes with a red light. The same red light flashes in Lugia's eye and Lugia begins to suck the ship into the air. The captain and the ocean are thrown into the ocean and the S.S. Libra is carried away by Lugia.

Pokémon HQ Lab
The Story begins with you in a virtual battle. You are in command of a Lv 50 Salamence and are battling a Lv 50 Metagross. Salamence can use Earthquake so you should be able to defeat Metagross and its trainer, Sim Trainer Losten, in two turns. After you win, you are transported back to the real world.

You are greeted by a researcher, who is in charge of the Battle Simulator, or Battle Sim. He says that you are getting better and suggests that you raise more Pokémon than just your Eevee, which is at Lv 10 and was given to you by your father, who has since passed away. Exit the Battle Sim room and head to the room at the top left of the lab.

Upon entering, your mom, Lily, will ask you if you would like to visit with Professor Krane, who is standing right behind her. He tells her not to be so stiffly official and says that he heard from the Battle Coach, from the Sim, that you are a great battler. Lily begins to argue with him, saying that her son and daughter don't need such gushing praise all the time.

Lily says that she hasn't seen Jovi, your sister, since lunch and asks you to go look for her. Krane will now tell you that he left a P*DA in your room and asks you to go get it. Go through the door on the left to arrive in Datan's room. Exit through the bottom door and use the elevator at the end of the hall. Now go through the bottom left door followed by the top right door to reach your room. On the table is the P*DA. Pick it up and you'll receive an e-mail from Krane saying that Adon was playing with Jovi.

Now go back up the elevator and through the bottom left door. Adon, whom Jovi was supposedly playing with is here, under the table. He tells you that she was playing hide-and-seek with him and that she's probably at Dr. Kaminko's Manor. The location appears on your map. As you leave, a researcher takes you to the lounge where the ONBS News has started. The reporter talks about the missing cargo ship, the S.S. Libra. Head to Dr. Kaminko's house now.

Kaminko's House

This place is very eerie. In the center of the yard is a fountain with a Groudon statue in the center of it. Head to the front door and you will be mistaken as a thief by Chobin, a researcher. Battle him:

Kaminko Aide Chobin - Sunkern 5
$150

Once beaten, Chobin will see that you are not a thief and apologizes for jumping to the wrong conclusion. The door opens and Jovi comes out. She asks you if you got lost and will continue thinking that no matter what your answer is. She heads back in after telling you that Dr. Kamino invents things. Chobin tells you to follow him and goes inside. Follow

Chobin shows you a video recording of himself describing one of Dr. Kamino's inventions, the Unhealthy Sandals. Other inventions include the Power-Draining Light Bulb, the Superpowered Jet Vacuum Cleaner, the Power-Saving Refrigerator, the Time-Cut Recorder, the Discount Calendar, the Poké Pole and the Haunted Radio.

Head into Dr. Kaminko's room and talk to Jovi. She insists that she is leading you home and calls her Minun, Mimi to come with them. Head outside and you'll receive another e-mail from Professor Krane. He says he needs your help. Head back there now.
