as they ctross thorugh victory road for the indigo pleateu when they are asked to detour around some construction appartently a rhydon is out of control so they try and work on caliming it down which takes some effort but it works and lika catches it they than arrive at the indigo pleatu.

starting something new for the blog that i have beeen considering for a while and that is talking about the weekends catholic church gospel and what i take away from it yes i am a catholic but not an extreme one and proud of my faith and a regular church goer but haven’t done this before though.
mark 10 17;30 was this sundays gospel and has a great message about following jesus and helping others is more important than your wealth in the eyes of god and while you should always obey the commadments you also need to be charitable and kind to your fellow human being and that is the message jesus is trying to deliver in this story and its a great message that your faith is important. but also that you can be well off on earth and that doesn’t get you anywhere with god there are other gospel stories with a similar message as well but its important to know.
we welcome west coast and brisbane to the league now can they get a good start to their time will the hawks continue their gf run will the swans get a finals win can the dees end their 23 year finals drougth will the saints get off the bottom all these and more in 1987.
hawks make 4th straight grand beating lions by 56 (lions never play finals again they merge with the future brisbane side at the end of 96). hawks will play bljues for the flag.
lions end swans season by 5 the swans even back in the south melbourne days hadn’t won a final for 41 years at this stage and this is the lions last ever finals win they play hawks in the prelim final.
lions stun swans by 10. fitzroy (13-9) host essendon in elim final. sydney (16-6) host carlton in qual final but not in sydney (interstate teams played home finals in melbourne until 1991 and then until 2005 weren’t gurranteed home finals in their state and the grand has always been in melbourne *except during covid also in 2013 there was one final in geelong).
the three on three battle against agatha starts well with pikachu beating golbat and ahunter but gengar is very tough but pidgeot pulls off the win giving lika the right to compete in the pokemon league in a couple of mounths time in indigo pleatu.
a bunch of legendries appear in front of the katchems but before they can speak they are sent to the hall of origin where they are told about how the theives are more dangerous and are trying to revive an evil version of arceus but must be stopped and they are linked to this but can’t give more info yet as it would over confuse them. on return everyone is confused but agatha agrees to the gym battle as giovanni hasn’t recovered.
Hawks beat west coast in the aflw easily yesterday the greens have another questionable cnndidate In the act election for saying hesbilah shouldn’t be a terrorist organisaiton.

next time probably the only one not dubbed were covering this year kinmoza.
1986 the last year of 12 clubs are we going to have a diffreent grand final match up was the roos 84 a fluke will the dogs stay up there can the hawks get revenege will the dees ever get back into the finals.
saints may have won half as many games as the next worse but still cause a major boilover over 2nd place bulldogs by 3 goals. st kilda (3-19) fininsh last. footscray (16-6) host hawthorn in qual final.
this is footscrays best season since 1961 when they snuck into the grand final home and away wise probably their best ever as they haven’t ever fininshed 1st before or since and their equal best finish with 1954 in home and away (equalled in 1992 and 1998).
much to everyones suprise it is revealed the missing gym leader is giovanni who is no longer bad but the theives have taken him to get information on legendries so they along with the temporary gym leader agatha hunt for him and it takes a bit of effort but ryan stops them again but than several legenderies appear with a supprise for the katchems.
on arrival in viridan they head to the gym to challenge the temporary gym leader or find out what happened to the real gym leader but are told there is a queque and lyra prepares to enter the contest which is the next day and registers but are told the contest is delayed a day suddenly due to the recent disappearences mean they are a judge short so serena offers to fill in which is agreed to if they don’t have one which they end up not lyra wins her 5th and final ribbon and is told the grand festival is in the indigo pleatu just before the kanto league. ash is told to help the search back in the viridian forrest so the group heads there.
will we have a 3rd straight hawks/dons grand final or will someone rise will the dees break a finals drought will the roos recover from their slump will the lions or dees be consistant and can the saints get off the bottom.
dons end pies season by a finals record 133 points they will play hawks in grand final (that is still the finals all time margin record) also the only 100 plus margin in a final (of 6 of all time not to feature geelong or north) not essendons only 100 plus win in a final.
what a season hawks and dons had dominated almost from start to finish likely grand finalists again but the slump of the roos and the late season rise of lions and inconsistant dees makes it quite interesting.
they realise the pokemon are brainwashed using a weird signal so they split up to stop them but it takes a lot of effort but it works meanwhile they are told the viridan gym leader is missing and a temporary one is in charge.
heading back to viridian city they board a boat to get their but are attacked by brain washed tentacruel which the pikachu defeat quickly which is good but they than use kingler and ash figures out that they are being brainwashed due to a threat to their habitat so they get on the lapras to find the area and find some dewgong battling gyrados in the habitat.
Zipair to launch houston flights from Tokyo. The greens need to do a better job with candidate selection and disendourse an act candidate for comparing Osama bin laden to jesus which is very offensive even one nation disendourse candidates for less than that which they did yesterday in the qld election. boeing need to compensate the victims of the 737 max accidents in this law suit as the plane wasn’t safe initally and there are still people nervous about flying it. richard marles chief of staff has resigned over bullying alligations not good. penrith should not have to play the world cup challenge and than have to go to vegas for magic round the practice game schedule is comprmised as it is and they don’t need to play the briiish best and the vegas round is unnescary as well.
everyone works to fix it and blaine reveals some people calling themselves the theives had a part in damaigng the volcano but it gets fixed eventually and the battle resumes with pikachu barely winning lika her volcano badge and are told about the viridian gym and a contest in that city.
blaine decides to have the gym battle in a volcano which is quite hot and lika gets off to a good start using poliwag until blaines megmar proves too tough for poliwag and lapras but pikachu puts a brilliant effort and it is very close until the volcano gets weakened during the match due to a miss aimed flamethrower. will it be fixed.
dons end roos season by 86 meaning they will play hawks for the flag. roos in history have finished 1st four times (1949, 1978, 1983 and 1998 (spoiler)) but none of those years they win the flag in fact in both 1983 and 1949 they didn’t even make the grand final.
fatima payman must resign from the senate as she is quite likely a duel citizen and has proven no loyality to a party the fact that it ruined the carrer of a much better politician (susan lamb in 2018 who was a duel citizen only because her mum abandoned her) and others like dai le might have gotten away with it means once theres any posiibllity it must be refred to the high court. melbourne beat adeliaed in the afl w in a upset last night.
on arrival at cinibar island they are told the gym leader is in the pokemon mansion and head there which has a odd feeling in ash and lika again but as they explore they get lost a bit and dan and lyra get very seperated but are found by an old man named blaine who helps guide them back to the group and is revelaed to be the gym leader after a fight with the theives lika and blaine agree to a gym battle.
as they appraoch cinibar island they spot a cruise ship heading towards them and are challenged by a ship captain which lika is able to win using nidorina against his magmar in a close match he gives her a moon stone to evolve nidorina and a thunderstone to evolve pikachu but she resfues to and they won’t leave her alone forcing another battle turns out the guy is a bit of a stalker but it ends ok as they arrive on cinibar.
