Pokémon Vain Gates

Pokémon Vain Gates is a fanmade Pokémon series game which is also a sequel of Pokémon Ash and Dust by ScorchingCliffs. The whole fangame is created by User:TheRandomBlock and can be downloaded on its Internet site in order to play it.
Taking place in the New Zenia region, which was updated from Pokémon Ash and Dust, this game includes many new Pokémon to encounter, the grand return of Mega Evolutions, a new signature legendary with the ability to Ultra Burst, as well as two new types: Ethereal and Cryptic.
==New Features==
===Cryptic type===
Pokémon Vain Gates introduces the nineteenth and twentieth Pokémon typings. The first is the Cryptic typing. Cryptic type is for Pokémon that have magical connections with them, like the mythicals Mew, Celebi, and Jirachi. For example, the mythical Pokémon Celebi is retyped as a Grass/Cryptic type in Pokémon Vain Gates, instead of its previous Grass/Physic typing.

===Aspiring===
The ability to Aspire returns in Pokémon Vain Gates but much in a more viable format. Any Pokémon that could previously learn Fly can now Aspire. Also, any Pokémon that is part Flying, Cryptic, or Ghost type, can now possess the ability to aspire too. Considering in theory that Ghost types, like Gastly, are easily able to levitate and hold their weight, and Cryptic types, like Jirachi, are capable of using magic to possess the ability to fly. However, you have to receive the item called Poké Whistle before being able to do this. This allows Scyther, Gengar, and other Pokémon who couldn't previously learn Fly, to be able to Aspire.
===Jumping===
One of the goals of Pokémon Vain Gates was to make the game a lot more realistic in terms of gameplay, so the mechanic of jumping has been added. Using the W button on your computer, the player character can jump.
===Transportation===
Transportation has been completely rejuvenated for Pokémon Vain Gates. The player has the ability to run from the beginning, replacing the Running Shoes, and acquires the Bike pretty quickly in the game. However, 2 new methods of transportation that are new in the game: Surfboard and Rollerskis, which are easily customized by the player.
==Plot==
===Starting Out===
As you start one of three save files present on the start menu, the game begins. It starts with a pre-recorded message from Professor Hickory, the cousin of Professor Baobab, telling you about the world of Pokémon and particulary New Zenia. She sends out her Pokémon, and talks about her future as the professor because she is in university, as well as how people are friends with Pokémon as they take care of them and participate in Pokémon battles. She then asks who you are - first the gender, then one of three character looks, and then your name. She then says that there is another trainer who comes from Johto and reveals that he is the son of the Ecruteak city's gym leader Morty. Then, this is where you choose the name of your rival, whose official name is Matthew, so the creator refers the rival by that name.
After the message, the scene cuts to Johto, five years before the story takes place. In the Ecruteak gym, Morty talks with Matthew about having his own Pokémon to take care while the gym leader accepts challengers to get the Fog Badge. In which Morty gives him one of his Gastly to take care of. Morty then reveals that there are a lot of challengers today, so he prepares for them to either be defeated, or defeat his Ghost-type Pokémon.
Time skips to the present, in New Zenia. Your character is seen to play a Nintendo Switch just until your mom calls them downstairs. When downstairs, your mom cheerfully says "Have you forgotten? Professor Hickory accepts two new trainers to start their Pokémon journey! And you are one of them! But wait - you are now thirteen years old. Correct?". She then gives you a PokéGear, and then tells you that you should go to the south of Dockane City to find who is the other trainer.
When you get to the south of the city, S.S. Anne appears, with Matthew exitting the ship. He reveals that he is also the one who will start his Pokémon journey. He also says that all trainers must be ten years old or older in order to get their starter Pokémon. He also reveals that Professor Hickory's lab is in Route 1, which is on the south of that coastal city. As you'll reach the exit of the city, Matthew says that they can get to the laboratory using the wooden path and turning right. Matthew then runs away to find the lab.
At the middle of the path, you and Matthew are stopped by Professor Hickory, who says that they are the two new trainers who are here to get their starter Pokémon. She then follows them to her lab. Once in her lab, she gets the tray with the three Poké Balls, in which are the three starters. Those options are the Grass-type Stemur, Fire-type Empala, and Water-type Phantain. After that, Hickory reveals that Shrubud, Volava, and Aquina, old Zenia's starters, were captured and kept in a secret place, and then she tells you that it's your time to pick the starter. Which ever one you pick, Matthew will choose a starter which is weak against the type of your starter. He then says "I won't need any type advantages to crown as the champion the Pokémon League and succeed my journey...".
As you try to exit the lab, Matthew runs to you and asks if you want a Pokémon battle. You accept, and so, the first Pokémon battle in your journey begins. After that, he says that he is going to set off to the first gym, though which no mention where the gym is. He then goes back to the player and gives you the Town Map. Matthew then finds out that the first gym in New Zenia is in Mouldon City, and its leader uses Ground-types. Hearing this, Hickory reveals that it's time to get things that will help on your journey. Matthew then sets off after acquiring his Poké Balls from the professor. She also gives you five Poké Balls, the Pokédex, as well as five Shuca Berries. She then tells you that a Shuca Berry, when held by a Pokémon, lessens the damage taken from supereffective Ground-type attacks. And so you finally set off into the journey.
===The Pokémon Journey===
====Mouldon Gym====
You leave Route 1 to get into the north of Dockane City, where Matthew is waiting. He reveals that he is now going to the Mouldon Gym to get the Soil Badge. He then tells you he has a gift for you, and he gives your Pokémon either Grass Pledge, Fire Pledge or Water Pledge based on its primary typing.
Reaching the Route 2, the shadow of New Zenia's mythical Pokémon Charpy appears through the sky. Matthew tries to scan this Pokémon to his Pokédex, but it failed. In which Matthew runs away. You then go through Route 2, until you find one of the New Zenia Elite Four: August. He reveals that he is the best in Zenia in Flying-type Pokémon. He also says "You are the rookie trainer who wants to earn how to catch Pokémon.". To which you follow August in order to find tall grass. As a wild Weedle (in its Zenian form) appears, August uses a Poké Ball to catch it. After that, he says "If you want to be a better Pokémon Trainer, you should catch lots and lots of Pokémon in order to register them to your Pokédex.", and leaves.
You then go through Desertville Town, then Route 3, until reaching Mouldon City. Along the way, you meet a suspiciously looking teenage boy reading shonen manga near some rocks all by his own. But if you try to talk to him, he only says "Oh lucky you, we're about the same age. But I'm older by one year in comparison to you." It is your second rival, this time from Hoenn - it's Max from the Pokémon anime. He then battles you, using a team of a Ralts and a Treecko. After that, he decides to stay in New Zenia and become your rival.
The Mouldon City is now taking the invasion of New Zenia's regional team after the downfall of Team Orbit, which is Team Arcane, who wants to capture Charpy in order to travel back to the era of the prequel games. After defeating all grunts, the player is allowed to go the Mouldon Gym. It is a very easy gym, just beat the 3 trainers which use Ground-type Pokémon. Eventually, you reach the Gym Leader, Dusty, who happens to be the son of Gravley. And so, the Gym Battle begins. In battle, Dusty uses a Sandshrew and a Goborn. After the battle, Dusty comments that his sister Avani has became a Gym Leader like him, and adds up that she uses Grass-type Pokémon. He then congratulates you and hands you the Soil Badge.
====Aquarama Gym====
The second Gym in New Zenia stays in the same place, the Aquarama Gym. As you exit the Mouldon Gym, Matthew runs to you and says that he also wants the Soil Badge. He also adds up that the Gym in Aquarama City was one of the three gyms of the old Zenia to not be moved, also being the Pompeak and the Coracate Gyms. Later, Matthew leaves, and the player is allowed to explore the Marine Bridge.
The Marine Bridge's path has been slightly overgrown because of the tall grass, even though there are also many Trainers here. Halfway through the bridge, you find Max who wants another battle. However, Matthew then shows up and suggests that they would have a Double Battle against the player! In which Max explains: "A Double Battle is a battle where you battle two Pokémon Trainers using two Pokémon. There is a variant of Double Battles named a Multi Battle which is a battle between four Pokémon Trainers in a Double Battle style. This could potentially involve strategies and use moves that can damage one opponent or moves that can divide damage for both opponents. How about it?"
You and Matthew agree, and so begins a Double Battle between you and your rivals! After the battle, Matthew reveals that there is Route 4 north of the bridge. Matthew then sets out to explore the rest of the bridge and Route 4. Max then says that a Surfboard is needed for the Gym. Max then follows Matthew to Route 4, and so you follow both of your rivals.
Eventually, you should reach Route 4 in order to make your way to Aquarama City, while fighting Trainers along the way. You then reach Aquarama City, although, the city's Gym is nowhere to be seen. However, if you go down onto the beach where there are Pokémon Trainers, you find Matthew who tells and shows you that the Aquarama City Gym is not in the city itself, but in a small cove island that can be reached by either crossing the Aquarama Drawbridge or using a Surfboard. But before you set off, he decides to challenge you into a battle because the last time you battled him is a Double Battle.
After the battle, Matthew decides to go through the Drawbridge in order to get the Cove Badge, and gives you the Surfboard in order to prepare for the second Gym. The player can either cross the Aquarama Drawbridge or use the Surfboard to reach the cove island, namely Aquarama Cove. Once in the Gym, you see that it is full of water and rocks. The idea is to use the Surfboard to get over where the Gym Leader is, while fighting Trainers who are also using Surfboards to swim around in the water. Once on the platform where the Gym Leader stands, she introduces herself as Kelsea. With that, the second Gym Battle begins! During the battle, she uses an Arrokuda and a Larcata. After the battle, she congratulates you and hands you the Cove Badge.
