Scene 1 (2:00-7:00)
♦ Zulu the Noibat appears in the Marsh of Light in the early morning. He is rescued and recruited by Cresselia. Together they escape from Zapdos and head for the Resistance rendezvous point.
♦ Ren the Blaziken appears in the Northern Plains five hours later. Absol finds him and sends word to Lugia, but Darkrai arrives and pursues the two.
♦ Some time earlier, Frost the Shiny Victini also appeared in the Northern Plains and watched Ren descend from the sky. He is ambushed by Kyurem but saved shortly thereafter by Moltres, with whom he escapes.
♦ Lugia arrives at the Resistance rendezvous point, where Cresselia and Zulu were waiting for other Legendaries to return. Together, they head for the Northern Plains at intense speed to save Ren and Absol from Darkrai. Moltres becomes aware of them on her way to Frontier Town, so she and Frost turn back north to provide assistance.
♦ Once there, Cresselia drops Zulu into a cluster of trees for his own safety and decides to face Darkrai alone, seeing as Lugia was lagging too far behind. Absol senses her and realises this, so he and Ren halt their flight and join the battle.
♦ Absol and Ren are swiftly KOed, but Cresselia manages to hold out until Moltres and Frost arrive. Darkrai attempts to summon his Dark Void, but Moltres interrupts. He makes another attempt, but Zulu and Lugia have caught up in the meantime, with the former confusing him. Cresselia, Ren and Absol gather their strength to join the others in preparing a final assault. A total of six attacks are launched at Darkrai, dispatching him to the Death Realm.

Scene 2 (10:00-21:00)
♦ Within the New Order's headquarters in Radiance, Yveltal reprimands Zapdos for failing to kill Zulu and informs him of Darkrai's demise. Afterwards, he instructs him to be ready to spread the bounties for the humans once they have been completed. He then departs in search of more humons (humans-turned-Pokémon), but detours to the Marsh of Light to flirt with Articuno before beginning his search.
♦ At the end of the day, Yveltal returns to Radiance, where Dialga informs him of Articuno's success in rescuing a humon. Upon seeing the Heart Lotus Yveltal has with him, Dialga enquires where he got it. He doesn't buy into Yveltal's excuse and warns him of the New Order's ban on love between Legendaries. After Dialga leaves to continue searching for humons, Yveltal contemplates Articuno's intentions in giving him the flower. He then sets off to find her before another New Order Legendary does.

Scene 3 (11:00-23:00)
♦ In the late morning, Flurry the Snorunt appears in an oasis in the Sazandora Desert. She is taken to a caravan by a friendly Krokorok and Vibrava, where she meets Shaymin. They attempt to steal a Gracidea Flower from the caravan, but are caught. Miss Altaria, the leader of the caravan, recognises Shaymin and sends them off with a few items to Frontier Town via teleportation.
♦ Around more or less the same time, Riley the Riolu appears in the eastern reaches of the Greatwood Jungle. Articuno arrives and they depart together for the Northern Plains, escaping Dialga in the process. However, she detours to the Marsh of Light after receiving word from Cresselia that the battle had ended. Yveltal happens upon them while there, but after Articuno placates him with a Heart Lotus, he leaves. She and Riley do too and head for Frontier Town to meet with Flurry and Shaymin.
♦ After being teleported to Frontier Town, Shaymin leads Flurry through the city to the bordering forest, where they wander for a time before meeting Articuno and Riley at the Resistance rendezvous point. The four travel together to Frostpoint Village, making small talk along the way despite their intense velocity.
♦ Gabriel the Riolu appears in a haunted palace complex in the Land of the Dead sometime during the night. Xerneas discovers him and together, they exit the ruins and head for Frostpoint Village as well, though unaware of what had transpired during the day. Before arriving at their destination, Xerneas casts an illusion over them to conceal their identities. They enter the Snow Fort - the Resistance's embassy - and meet with Commander Cassandra. While Xerneas departs on undisclosed business, Gabriel is shown to his room and informed of his pending schedule before retiring for the night.

Scene 1 (4:00-20:00)
♦ On their way to Frostpoint Village, Articuno, Shaymin, Riley, and Flurry stop to investigate the scene of the battle against Darkrai. The pause makes Articuno realise how tired the flight has made her, so they walk the rest of the way, hoping to reach Frostpoint before the storm brewing in the east hits.
♦ The storm dissipates shortly thereafter, though, which Gabriel discovers upon waking an hour later. He notices some items Cassandra had brought him during the night and begins reading a book on auras.
♦ Once they arrive at the Snow Fort, Flurry and Riley wait in the lobby for about an hour while Shaymin and Articuno are away to speak with Cassandra. Upon the Legendaries' return, Articuno informs Riley of Xerneas' absence and departs to search for him. Having to stay behind, Shaymin, Riley, and Flurry then head off to find their rooms.
♦ Tired of reading, Gabriel sneaks out of his room and bumps into Riley and Flurry while exploring. Riley's stubbornness after the accident causes Gabriel's temper to flare, making the latter throw a punch, which the former blocks. They arrange a battle to settle their differences.
♦ After adjusting his and Flurry's room accommodations, Riley meets Gabriel at the local arena. Gabriel lands the first blow, but Riley predicts his second move and counters it. Both jump into the air, but Riley catches the other Riolu by surprise and spear tackles him. At the last second, Gabriel uses Riley's inexperience to shift his position, resulting in both being injured by the fall. They rise and attempt to finish the fight, but collapse. Commander Cassandra arrives, scolds the two, and carries them back to her office, with Shaymin and Flurry following.
♦ At her office, Cassandra lectures them all before giving Riley his own room and sending him there. She then informs the others that Xerneas is being manipulated by the New Order and is probably being tortured for Resistance secrets. After adding that his absence is being kept secret to avoid a tragic rescue mission, she dismisses them.
♦ Gabriel, Riley, Flurry, and Shaymin spend the rest of the day confined to their rooms. Without much to do, they are forced to to keep themselves occupied, though Gabriel simply lies numbly on his bed, until they eventually go to sleep.

Scene 2 (17:00-24:00)
♦ After defeating Darkrai in the Northern Plains, Lugia, Cresselia, Moltres, Absol, Ren, Frost and Zulu had spent the previous day travelling. Wasting no time, they head for the Cobalt Bay along the coast of the Greatwood Jungle. When they again stop to rest, Lugia trains Ren and advises him on the nature of Linking moves.
♦ Several hours later, past nightfall, they arrive at the bay and proceed to the island on which the Palace of Tides stands, where Absol believes an Arcean Plate to be located. After Frost finds a shard of Palkia's Lustrous Orb, an echo of the deceased Legendary informs them of the existence of a Mystery Dungeon within the palace. Absol, Ren, Frost and Zulu are sent inside to retrieve the plate.
♦ Traversing the Mystery Dungeon proves arduous, for the explorers are met with a massive labyrinth shrouded in darkness. They wander through it for hours, Ren's and Frost's vitality all the while being sapped by the power emanating from the palace. Finally, Frost realises the droplets floating in the air contain fluorescent but dormant algae. Absol roars the tiny organisms awake, which then light their way forward.
♦ Unfortunately, this also attracts the attention of Wild Pokémon inhabiting the Mystery Dungeon. The group retreats, but is quickly overwhelmed by feral Kinglers. Though Ren attempts to flee with Frost, he is caught off guard and knocked unconscious. Frost launches himself into the fray and defeats the crabs by overheating, after which he too falls unconscious.
♦ Once their fainted comrades regain consciousness, the party continues more cautiously, preferring to avoid conflict where possible. When Zulu grows bored, he attacks a feral Gastrodon, provoking it and earning him a rebuke from Absol. They reach the end of the labyrinth and are teleported to the final stage of the Mystery Dungeon.

Scene 3 (23:00)
♦ The Swords of Justice address a gathering of New Order-affiliated bounty hunters from atop Mt. Providence. Having learned from Kyurem of Ren's, Frost's, and Zulu's involvement in defeating Darkrai, they condemn the humons, paint them as vicious criminals, and demand their capture. After the crowd disperses, Hoopa arrives to taunt them, afterwards leaving Cobalion and Terrakion to discuss the fate of their former apprentice, Keldeo.

Scene 1 (0:00-3:00)
♦ Absol, Ren, Frost, and Zulu are teleported to a grand hallway, which they cross to reach a large chamber. Inside waits a massive Blastoise, the Guardian of the Arcean Plate of Water. He criticises them for slaying the Wild Pokémon inside the Mystery Dungeon, Mega-Evolves, and engages them.
♦ Absol meets the Guardian head-on, but is easily pushed back, while Zulu and Frost are respectively dazed by the Mega Blastoise's blasts of water and rapid spin. The Guardian tries to finish Frost off, but Ren and Absol intervene and counter his attack with fire and ice of their own. In the meantime, Zulu recovers and uses his pent-up frustrations to unleash a beam of draconic energy, knocking the Guardian aside. He fires another beam at the Guardian and relentlessly slices him with blades of air until he concedes defeat.
♦ The Guardian surrenders the Torrent Plate and turns to stone. Absol briefly praises Zulu, who collects the plate but promptly falls asleep. They are teleported back to the room where the Legendaries wait. Cresselia congratulates and informs them that they will set out for the Palace of Flames in the morning, after they have slept. Moltres initially protests, but reluctantly agrees. Frost takes first watch.
♦ A couple of hours later, Frost spots a battalion of New Order soldiers arrive at the coast of the bay. A covert detachment ambushes him, but he manages to wake his companions before he is knocked out. Lugia and Cresselia attempt to rescue him, but Terrakion and Virizion ambush and taunt them. When the New Order's forces disembark onto the beach of the island, Lugia, Cresselia, Moltres, Absol, Ren, and Zulu are forced to flee, leaving Frost behind.

Scene 2 (4:00-6:00)
♦ Waking up early in the morning, Gabriel sneaks off to Riley's room to enlist his aid in rescuing Xerneas. Their activity wakes Flurry, who they rope into the plan. Gabriel reveals he's discovered a possible location for the Arcean Plate of Fairies, which he thinks could break the New Order's hold over Xerneas.
♦ The trio sneak out into the night to find one of the magical entrances to a shrine in Xerneas' name. They succeed and, after Riley plays a tune inscribed on the base of a statue of Xerneas, gain entry to the Mystery Dungeon.
♦ They descend down the stairs to find a passage leading to a lush, brightly illuminated forest. Riley and Gabriel lead the way by following what they presume to be the scent of the Plate. While navigating the forest's regions of fluctuating gravity, they are ambushed by Trevenant, but escape by exploiting their reduced weight.
♦ Once they reach the centre of the forest, they find only a statue of a Mega Gardevoir, realising the Guardian had already been defeated and the Pixel Plate already retrieved.

Scene 3 (9:00-10:00)
♦ After having appeared little more than a day and a half earlier, Bloodmoon the Zoroark wanders through the mist of the Valley of the Restless. Genesect, who had been monitoring him for about as long, introduces itself and informs Bloodmoon of his mission. They follow a trail of stone markers to an undesignated location, Genesect destroying the reanimated corpses of Pokémon they encounter along the way.
♦ Once they reach their destination, they stop to rest. Bloodmoon enquires about Genesect's internal struggle for control and overall status. Genesect then leaves to find food.

Scene 4 (11:00-12:00)
♦ Twinkiel the Mareep encounters a tribe of snakes deep within the Greatwood Forest after hours of walking. He convinces them that he was no trespasser and had, in fact, sought them out.
♦

[b]Scene 5 (21:00-22:00)
♦ Having fled from the New Order, Lugia, Cresselia, Moltres, Absol, Ren, and Zulu spend the day travelling again until they reach the Great Crevice, where they make camp. Lugia consoles Ren about Frost's necessary abandonment, afterwards reminding him of the previous day's training. Ren takes the advice to heart and combines several techniques to learn how to launch glass at enemies.
♦ Meanwhile, Zulu fruitlessly attempts to summon his draconic energy beam again. He gives up and practices a technique causing infatuation instead, wondering whether he should use it on Cresselia before retiring for the night.

This list will be updated throughout the SB.

And once I have gotten over the ego boost I received from chopping off all my hair, I will jump on the bandwagon and switch to a Pokemon avatar.
