Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (2024)

We’re back and today it’s Celadon time! There is a lot to get through here so let’s just get on with it. First of all, we need to talk to a very useful man in the Pokémon Centre.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (1)

He teaches the three elemental punch moves, and we want one of each. Citizen Snips gets Ice Punch and Thunder Punch, and April May replaces Rock Smash with Fire Punch. This should really help round out our kind of bad coverage.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (2)

So let’s have a look around this big city! Celadon reminds me of London, with the tall town houses and general built-upness of it all.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (3)

Just to the south of the Pokémon Centre we find this Rocket member. They’re obviously quite the presence in this city.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (4)

The casino looks hella grand in this game.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (5)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (6)

The Pokémon prizes aren’t too spectacular, but I really want those TMs.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (7)

We of course need the Coin Case before playing.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (8)

We find this near the Hotel’s trash.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (9)

Notably, we don’t seem to need Cut to enter Erika’s gym. Which makes a lot more sense. Why are the gym leaders in this generation so determined to not do their jobs? I swear, add in those construction workers from a few updates ago and it’s looking like Kanto is just full of layabouts.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (10)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (11)

There’s this mini quest to deliver the Odd Keystone to this scientist’s brother in Johto. This will probably be a long way away, so let’s keep this in our back pocket for now. The Odd Keystone is usually associated with Spiritomb, so perhaps that isn’t what’s link to that bell in Lavender Town.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (12)

Time for the more official quests. This scientist wants to see either an Espeon or an Umbreon. She says that she wants to see what Eevee evolves into using a Sun Stone or Moon Stone, and it’s a hint that these are different evolution methods in this game.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (13)

If your research hinges on a stranger coming by with a specific Pokémon I want to know what your funder is. I could use some easy money.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (14)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (15)

So it’s a timing thing. Hmm. Let’s investigate this further later.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (16)

It’s a videogame. All legends, rumours and myths are 100% likely to be truth.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (17)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (18)

This is… f*cked up. For some odd reason, the egg we got in Lavender Town doesn’t actually count though! So she’s straight up lying to my face!

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (19)

Sounds interesting! But let’s check out the café normally first.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (20)

Oh hey it’s our old friend the fossil guy!

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (21)

Of course you did.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (22)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (23)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (24)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (25)

Looks like I was right, and now he’s using a fusion of the two fossils I didn’t pick in the past!

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (26)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (27)

I think Shieldon is a better line than Cranidos.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (28)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (29)

Buying Coffee is a nice touch. She goes to the coffee maker and returns with the coffee.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (30)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (31)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (32)

Just like old times. We’ll do some gambling later.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (33)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (34)

Oh I just adore this trainer type.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (35)

And I adore this Pokémon too.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (36)

Fantastic.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (37)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (38)

The hipster gives us a Latte, which looks like quite a useful battle item.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (41)

Super Splicers seems to reduce the negatives that occur from splitting your Pokémon. Since we’ll never be unfusing any of our brood, the ability to choose our nature might be the only benefit we see.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (42)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (43)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (44)

Picking up some items! TM81 is X-Scissor, an utterly fantastic move.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (45)

Flute Dude is here too!

After a quick rest at the hotel, there’s now a new area at the back of the café. Hmm…

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (47)

This is so f*cking dark and seedy and so over the top. I kinda live.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (48)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (49)

It looks like they sell random fusions every day. We are so utterly not taking them up on this offer.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (50)

Erika is outside her gym here. We chat to her a bit:

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (51)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (52)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (53)

She dives into the sewers. Looks like this might be the story hook here instead of the underground of the casino.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (54)

Intriguing.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (55)

Checking out the houses around the city, we find some Move Tutors. The first is this lady who can teach Roost – this replaces Leech Seed on Valefor.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (56)

I love the modern aesthetic of Celadon. The town houses are a really nice touch.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (57)

Definitely going to have a sewer level aren’t we?

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (58)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (59)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (60)

Another collector here nets us a very nice windfall.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (61)

Londoner vibes.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (62)

Off to this big tower.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (63)

Pickup is a wonderful ability. Aw, I still miss Evan/Asterius.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (64)

The parallax here looks… kinda goofy and out of place.

This is a cute little side quest which makes acquiring the Celadon Eevee make a bit more sense.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (72)

We’ll need Surf to see what this guy has to say.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (76)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (77)

Now that we have Guybrush on the team, we can evolve it immediately and knock out that quest in the hotel! The thing is, this is going to be our next fusion, and since I have the option between Espeon and Umbreon I have the opportunity to plan the next addition to our team well.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (78)

So say hello to Route 16! You might notice that Snorlax there… Well we’re not fighting that yet, obviously. Instead, we’re going to catch something in that patch of grass.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (79)

Yet again I missed a screenshot of the encounter but I caught Sentry here with a Quick Ball. This is who will be fusing with Guybrush and it definitely helps me make an informed decision about what the fusion should be. While Umbreon would lead to a decently bulky Pokémon with high Attack, the Espeon/Dodrio fusion that I could have has fantastic offensive output.

Just after that encounter this happened:

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (80)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (81)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (82)

I am so thankful that this happened after finding Sentry.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (83)

Before we head back to Celadon, let’s explore the end of this route!

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (84)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (85)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (86)

Just an alternative to Teleport in this case! Useful either way though.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (87)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (88)

One Sun Stone later and it’s time to go complete a quest!

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (89)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (90)

Definitely a problem in the ssyntax sscript here. Either way, I do believe it is now time to test these new splicers!

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (91)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (92)

So far so good…

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (93)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (94)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (95)

This is quite cute. Very much a Dope. I’m apprehensive about what the reverse will be.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (96)

This will not go well, will it?

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (97)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (98)

Oh what a shame.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (99)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (100)

f*cking love a language pun though.

Now that we have explored most of Celadon, let’s go shopping!

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (101)

The first floor here has the generic shop goods.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (102)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (103)

Dig is a nice find which will finally give April May a Ground-type move.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (104)

The rest of the department store is the usual stuff – battle items and vitamins. Here, we pick up something important though: a Leaf Stone. Now, we can evolve Phantom! We have a Sun Stone too and the evolutions are very much almost identical – so we’re choosing the evolution based on looks. So let’s take a gander!

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (105)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (106)

That certainly is a vile krow.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (107)

I don’t know what I expected. It’s certainly… something.

We’ll stick with Bellkrow. At least it looks happy and the stats are barely

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (108)

We get two Soda Pops here, which is quite nice. Maybe it’s penance for the abomination that is Bellkrow.

So before we take on the sewers, we should see what’s in the place the underground used to be!

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (109)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (110)

Well that puts an end to that.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (111)

#SunkCostFallacy

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (112)

I play a bit of Voltorb Flip here, but it’s just such a slow way to gain coins and the rest of the games here (roulette and the slots) are far too luck-based to be worth the time. So, moving on.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (113)

Here’s the entrance to the sewers.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (114)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (115)

Erika here is really useful. Your team is healed up to full at the end of every battle!

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (116)

There are also wild Pokémon here! I decide to catch this Grimer, as I consider this place a dungeon as opposed to part of Celadon itself.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (117)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (118)

Jelly gets sent to the box.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (119)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (120)

This battle is a doozy.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (121)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (122)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (123)

Erika joins us here, and hopefully this will end up showing us her team for when we fight her later!

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (124)

We take a lot of really hard hitting Poison attacks here, and after this battle I decide I need to reshuffle my team around. Before that though, this battle got us an important level!

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (125)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (126)

Doesn’t it just look awful?!

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (127)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (128)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (129)

After picking up these items, I head back to the centre to heal. While we’re there, we might as well fuse our two new additions!

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (130)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (131)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (132)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (133)

This first version of this fusion is quite weak, having less Attack and being as slow as molasses.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (134)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (135)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (136)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (137)

This form is stronger and is so cute it almost makes me want to use it.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (138)

This is the team I’m using to take on the sewers. Apart from Valefor and April May, they are vastly underleveled. I foresee grinding in my future.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (139)

Even single-trainer fights are double battles with Erika along for the ride.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (140)

That Tentaicate is absolutely horrific. Raticate fusions are really horrible.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (141)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (142)

This dungeon is chock full of really awful things.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (143)

See what I mean?

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (144)

Walking past this computer for now…

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (145)

This is a very powerful move. As luck would have it, we have a metal snake who is very in need for a powerful Poison-move!

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (146)

And here is the gimmick of the area. It’s a water-level puzzle.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (147)

With the sewers flooded all the Rocket grunts on the lower level flail about to stay alive. It’s beautiful.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (148)

Sure have!

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (149)

I’m sick of Erika’s horrific abomination.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (150)

Very useful. This goes on Ketchup, who has done very well out of this dungeon.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (151)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (152)

Now we use the computer to get down to this new area of the sewers. This is the basic cycle of the dungeon – alter the water level to access the next part.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (153)

Gloomer is how happy I want to be all the time.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (154)

Interesting.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (155)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (156)

Heading on. The puzzles in this sewer include making the planks break off by standing on them when the water is drained to turn them into useable bridges when the place is flooded.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (157)

This looks suitably final.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (158)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (159)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (160)

Erika has been wholly unhelpful throughout this entire exercise. Her Pokémon are so weak against Poison and they use useless moves like Constrict and Barrage.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (161)

Once we get to this room we’re fully in the Rocket Hideout! There are two doors and Erika makes us choose one of them. She’ll take the other, and somehow knows that you’ll both meet up at the end.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (162)

It’s a classic Team Rocket base.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (163)

We first come across this guy, Doug. His Pokémon are not much of note but they are very high level.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (164)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (165)

The puzzle isn’t very hard and the items aren’t much to talk about.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (166)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (167)

The enemies are getting very powerful, and we’re suddenly really feeling the sting of not having Erika’s healing.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (168)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (169)

We do however get this nice development.

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (170)

Let’s Play Pokémon Infinite Fusion Part 13: Celadon Secrets (171)

I’m retreating for now. We sorely need to grind. Next time we’ll be a lot more powerful, and we’ll take on the Rocket Base in earnest.

Post-Update Summary

We have explored so much of Celadon City today, and acquired rather a lot of Pokémon. Despite this, we really haven’t completed much of the city at all! We still need to complete the Rocket Base and take on the Celadon Gym. Hopefully we can finish these tasks next time. We’re also really starting to feel the pain of swapping around our party so much, with only Valefor and April May managing to keep pace with the enemy levels. In response, I’m going to take some time to boost up some levels. Until then, peace out.
