Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Disk - Final Boss & Ending 

*"How can you get critical hits, even at a time like this... What are you, the hero of this story?!"* - Kieran

Eternatus: Breaks out of a Pokéball in the first shake. Gets caught by one. Terapagos: Breaks OUT of a Masterball. That's badass.

Kieran is so real. He's frustrated because all his efforts are useless as long as the player is there.

Nah the fact that the legendary mythical pokemon that Kieran wanted so badly literally goes walking up to us instead 😂😭

I like how they're finally making it damn obvious Most legendaries can murk you in a moment's notice and your masterballs mean nothing,they just come along cuz you save the world

Whiscash: Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be LEGENDARY!

If we think about it, Kieran is absolutly right on 1 point : our character in this game is insanely good at making friends wherever he goes. From the main story to the dlc, he manage to be friend with evryone he came accross. Even team star bosses, who were suppose to defend their base and reject any intruders ended up being our friends. Well with the only exception of Ortega at least.

Tera starstorm having 120 base power, no drawbacks, 100 accuracy and hitting all targets is so balanced

Kieran is the first rival in Pokémon history who takes the standard formula and goes: “Screw your plot armor! I’m doing things my way!” I’d honestly find it admirable if it didn’t cause him to nearly have a mental breakdown.

Terapagos: My main character senses tell me to go to him. Kieran: No, not this time. I’m not letting the hero get another Pokémon that I want.

When you are so bad at everything that you even break the Master Ball.

Why isnt Arven here? That turtle straight up ruined his childhood and he wasnt even asked to come here.

The Mastrball catching and failing scenes are hands down the best scenes of this game.

With how Juliana is by far the most socially gifted protagonist in the series as she makes friends with literally everyone she meets, I hope Gen 10's protagonist is the exact opposite where they're the dark loner type, similar to Kieran.

I feel like if I’m facing an ancient and alien-like Pokémon, I’d just go “aight, I’m bringing out GOD” and release my Arceus.

I swear, they made every part of this game look bad just to make the final cutscene look good.

Kieran: *"THIS* is my ultimate victory, Protag! this time, **I** am the one who obtains the all-powerful legendary, while *_*YOU*_* are the one whos left with _NOTHI--"_ Protag: _"Aw~!_ check out how it's looking at me! it must've imprinted on me- it thinks I'm its parent!" Kieran: *_"I WILL KILL YOU WITH MY HANDS!!"_*

I like how teropagos starts walking towards the player since the player is the first person it sees so it most likely thought the player was the one that woke it up and Kieran just went nope and threw a master ball at it

Sinistcha Rage Powder against a dual target attack... They really did an Unbound move here

I have a bit of a theory about the game's "lackluster" ending, and it sort of gave me a eureka moment about the game's writing being the way it is: I just realized that the story of the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero is a metanarrative schema about the nature of the player and the game - that the main protagonist will end up being the victor of the story, no matter what, because Pokémon as a franchise is about becoming the best trainer in the game. It feels like Kieran is supposed to be written as having gone insane around the Indigo Dusk due to him being aware of the power that the protagonist holds over the game's conclusion, which is why the story writers decided to have him not be possessed by Pecharunt - that wouldn't gel with the meaning of THToAZ's DLC as a whole. He literally wants to stop you from being the hero of the story so that you wouldn't finish the game as intended by the developers, to see himself as having as much agency over his character as yourself. Kieran accepts his fate at the end, frustrated but ultimately content with the fact that the player still sees him as a friend worth being around regardless. The cross-time travel loop (butterfly effect, basically) reaffirms the game's overarching paradox in plain daylight, that the player character is simultaneously the villain and hero of ScVl, as it implies that you are responsible for one of Arven's parents dying during the Area Zero expedition that happended a decade prior to your move to Paldea, befriending your friend group in the process.

Kinda disappointed how little Briar contributed to the event. I wanted her to be the villain at the very end.

20:06 The DISRESPECT lmfao Kieran: MasterBall * fails * You: Pokeball, And it's done.

Terapagos was so power even a Masterball couldn't contain it

2:50 Won't lie. I respected the Hell out of this moment.

I like how the part where Terapagos broke the masterball is the most replayed part

I expected the awakened form of the Terapagos to be bigger... something majestic or something.. I want to like this pokemon, but its appearance feels rather underwhelming.

Now I want to see Terapagos’ Stellar Form in the anime as well (since Terapagos will play a very important role in the anime).

Terapagos is Level 90 when caught as well, so be sure to bring Level 100 pokemon if possible to help.

Ogerpon: Terastalizes Terapagos: "How bout NO?"

I love how Kieran still throws the master ball even though Terapagos js basically a newborn and has zero object permanence. Like the poor guy has no clue anyone is standing behind it it just went towards the first person it saw and I think it’s hilarious that Kieran still flipped out over it.

I love how Kieran gets the final hit in on Terapagos.

Ever since I layed my eyes on Terapagos on Pkmn day, I had the feeling that it'll soon be 1 of the coolest, strongest legendary.

Not related to this video, but I loved the extra dialogue when I sent out Ogerpon to see the reaction. Wanted to have to her deal the final blow.

Kieran: That’s… impossible! Terastalized Terapagos: Darling, you have no idea what’s possible!

What if you want to mind your own business but an alien turtle says: "PK Starstorm"

MF BROKE A MASTERBALL

Kieran had it the worst out of anyone not only did he train as much as possible to become champion and get the title, He loses it as soon as he becomes one and doesn't get the Masterball as a memory of becoming one, Shouldn't have been a happy end with him and felt forced to have him feel happy for abit

5:55 Kieran is aware of the players special protag powers 😂

Does anyone notice that the shine in Kieran's eyes return when he joins in the battle? I love that small detail, meaning our good boi has returned

This .... this is how it ends ? Just finished it 30 min ago and I'm kinda pissed off , area zero , paradoxes , time travel.....all that were amazing stories to tell , and this is what we get at the end ??? A short dlc , shit story about an emo kid believing in himself.....wow..... disappointing story , at least finishing the dex will be fun

I’m just glad Kieran and the player are pals again

I was so worried that they were going to make Terapagos this cute little guy that could do no harm and would be your little buddy! When I saw Terapagos absolutely decimate the Master Ball and try to kill Kieran was the moment where all worries went away I AM SO GLAD MY HOPES WERE RIGHT! Glad to have murderous Pokemon in this franchise

Kieran's finally out of the peach's control! I was so happy when I saw the shine in his eyes again!

Kieran pulled off the ultimate pro-gamer move of Pokémon.

Huh, Terapagos, this lil'guy is smaller than I thought... Edit:I mean, its appearence is base on Galapagos tortoise, so I thought it was going to be bigger when terastallized.

With all this power, Terapagos is the ultimate Pokemon! Second only to Arceus, it's not only the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, but also a wonder of the Pokemon world and the Hidden Gem of the world!

When you see the Masterball get split in half, you KNOW you've fucked up.

We waited that long for a single good looking cutscene. Wow.

Imagine if Terapagos made your Pokémon faint each time it absorbed terastal energy. I’d be flipping out

I suddenly have this idea that Kieran is actually just a smaller Ghetsis. Who Ghetsis was like when he’s young. If we push Kieran ever further, he will become the second most evil Pokémon character ever. A second Ghetsis. Considering how he has himself a hydra themed Pokémon, but it’s not a dark type, it looks goofy and have sweet related ability. Perhaps a showing of how even when Kieran is corrupted by his anger and jealousy, he’s still salvageable, and still has humanity in him.

remember kids, just give up, it's better if you do! you can't be like them, they were born like that!

Mfer got Ntr'd TWICE

I just finished the DLCs. Now, the characters aren't bad, I'm sure there are people who love them. But for some reason they don't vibe with me. I wish I could go adventuring with the old group again, Nemo and pals were more fun than those two siblings. I wish at least Arven could come with me, since we went back to the Prof's lab.

I see this as a fitting final boss for the DLC. I loved it.

God himself couldn't escape the master ball and this crystal turtle just shattered it like it was nothing

Are there people ignoring the fact that Carmine never apologized to Kieran for miss treating him in Teal Mask, and she still hasn’t done it here. She appears also to be responsible for her brother’s downward spiral.

Like. We couldn't have a dream Pokémon in a dream world, naaah it's just TURTLE and that's it. F(u)ck you for thinking that the word Treasure was symbolic, it wasn't. It is a literal gemstone Pokémon. And why it has all those type markings if it's normal all the time. And why it creates so many crystals. And how the hell the "I change types" Pokémon could make a time machine work. And that thing was a time machine, but to a different timeline. So basically they're DISCOUNT ULTRABEASTS. And me thinking we could see their worlds or something. This was the worst climax ever made.

TTar is gonna be so hyped when gets to this part.

so we agree this pokemon not gonna make it to vgc

The lack of voice acting kills it

The lack of voice acting in pokemon games is honestly a glaring flaw in current year. I never cared before because the plot isn't really there in the games and rarely there is tension but the opening scenes really felt extremely lacking without it. Easily one of the most entertaining climaxes of the franchise, whose potential got completely squandered. Makes me sad since they do not lack the means at all but just won't

The new Tera type is Stellar. Stellar doesn’t change the Pokémon’s type when terrastalizing into Stellar, but it treats all moves as if they’re the same type as a Pokémon’s Tera type when they’re terrastalized.

There's one last crystal blocking the way about halfway down? Anyone know where its stellar battle is? I hear flapping and pokemon cries, but can't seem to find anything of value. I've tried coming down after getting the scarlet book back and everything

I LOVE KIERAN SO MUCH I JUST WANT TO HUG HIM☹️

Gary is a jerk While Kiran says Nah I'd win

Super lame ending!

NGL that was kinda underwhelming knowing how good the main story is then that's all the mystery and build up has led to? Anti-climatic and stupid.

The ending of this DLC could compete with SwSh of having the worst and most anticlimactic ending in the franchise. We had such high stakes in the main story, and I prefer it that way.

9:08 tera energy was too much for even a Master Ball to handle its new form. This is the second time a Master Ball was ineffective and broke.

I wish they brought back Araven because they definitely could’ve fit him in this story. In fact, it’s kinda sad that the Paldea gang basically got abandoned and replaced. Don’t get me wrong though, I still like Kieran and karmine.

Indigo Disk really just feels like a haphazard speedrun of the original story beats that the base game executed far better. Beat the elite four, break a loner kid out of their funk then descend into Area Zero to catch an overpowered legendary they just slapped in there. Briar is useless, Carmine learns nothing from being awful to her brother and Kieran just stops being a gloomy edgelord when it becomes convenient for the plot. I know it's wild to expect better writing from this game series but this DLC was such a step down from the rest of the game's story.

Me no understand this

Ngl. I thought Terapagos would be Giant level powerful but for what we have seen so far, that isnt the case... and it still isnt clear on how Paradox mons came from.

Terapagos: *breaks Masterball* Every Legendary: *shocked Pikachu face* Giritina:...Arceus, step down. Arceus: But-- Giritina: STFU AND STEP!

Shit on top of a shitpile. Kieran is so "well written" if only he had any opportunity to shine. The game treats him as a villain while the villain is the protagonist and we STEAL from him both Pokémon without even expressing an emotion. It would have been a good game if Kieran won.

Unova?!?

5:55 Imagine your plot armor so good Kieran ends up breaking the 4th wall LOL

Well that's a surprise kiaren 😂

Is everyone ready for the quickest ban possible? Cus I am. 😂

I am pretty sure I was not the only one that got a cold chill and went "What did you do, dude?" to Kieran. Soon as Terapagos pops out, starts wandering toward us and Kieran just goes straight to throwing the Master Ball.Soon as he did that I already knew the roof was going to come down. No pun intended.

After all these years, they still don't have voice actors in these cut scenes. I don't understand lol.

This was honestly one of the hardest fights in the game for me.

On the plus seeing the Masterball fails has cheered me up after I stupidly used the free gift one by accident on an Exeggutor by cycling to fast through the balls while sleep depped 😅

I was hoping for kieran to be the antagonist where he would steal our koraidon/miraidon go to area zero by himself catch terapagos somehow corrupt the turtle causing crystals to be across paldea and then we have to venture down with the gang and briar to stop him also wished terpagos had multiple phases like we got the gang helping for each phases like ngl was a big missed opportunity but the music they created in this dlc improved so much so thats something im glad about 😁

when i was terapagos terastilze it was so freaking awesome i use miraidon for fighting him

Ok stop. Why are faces seen in cristals while they're NOT FACING IT ???? And why "?" dialogue boxes appear inside as well ? And why isn't there voices ? White lines around characters sprites while they're on dark floors ? Gosh...

it makes my heart warm to know that kieran goes back to being the soft shy boy that he was in the teal mask, kinda wish he let his hair back down tho

Kieren realizing he isn’t the main character and will always lose to us. Then tries to catch a legendary meta wise meant for us. Poor dude Still don’t like him though.

@15:39 there was tears in his eyes! Why must we make Kieran suffer! My poor baby!! 🥺

Masterball against big turtle no, pokeball against little legendary turtle yup

Why is it that the humans in Pokemon are always the most boring, tedious part lmao?

Wow thaf form was...... A disappointed 😞

this is so cool bro also kieran looks traumatized

Is this worth $60? No.

So, I like the characterization they were giving Kieran but, they did really reveal terapagos, the big mystery treasure of this entire game, for the last 20 minutes of this DLC? Don't know how to feel about that.

Kieran: *Masterball fails* Protagonist with a normal pokeball: *yoink*

This whole story involving Kieran is just him figuring out he’s not the main character.

Jotaro vs Dio moment,like this

Did they even explain the origin or Paradox Pokemon at all? So Terapagos is literally not related to the time shananigans. Sada/Turo just used it to make the Time Machine.

This was absolutely the best Pokemon Storyline I've ever played. Let me rephrase that... THIS IS THE BEST OFFICIAL POKEMON DLC/GAME EVER MADE!
