So, after grinding each member of my team up to a reasonable level 50 (Still pretty underleveled IMO), I decided to challenge the E4. After wiping the floor with Wally, I figured it was time. I bought about 99 Full Restores, just in case, and headed inside.
Oh, boy. Sydner was up first. Gary the Medicham defeated Mightyena with just one Hi-Jump-Kick. Absol suffered the same fate. Cacturne was up next, and didn't stand a chance against Earl the Swellow's Aerial Ace. Sharpedo didn't last one turn against Andy the Sceptile, and Shiftry was taken down by Earl. One down, 3 and a champion left to go.
I was a bit worried about facing Phoebe, as my only supereffective move was Gary's Shadow Ball, and he was weak to other ghost attacks. But it actually wasn't that hard. Gary promptly defeated Dusclops, and Shelly the Walrein was able to defeat essentially everyone else with Surf.
I was also pretty worried about Glacia. If you've read the official Nuzlocke comic, you would have seen that Glacia's Walrein was able to take out a Medicham, one that was probably higher levelled than Gary. Victor the Ninetales defeated both Glalies, and Gary wiped the floor with her Sealeos. It was Walrein time, and I was hoping that Gary wouldn't miss with Hi-Jump-Kick. But it actually got a crit on Walrein. I am a lucky boy.
It was time to take down some dragons, as Drake was next. Before I go any further, I just want to say that Shelly is awesome. Why? Well, Ice Beam took down all of Drake's Pokemon, except Salamence. It attacked first, and got Shelly's HP dangerously low. I figured I should switch to Earl to she could heal. The turn I healed up, Salamence got a critical hit and sent Earl to his grave. The first loss in the E4. Shelly quickly avenged him with a Blizzard to Salamence. RIP Earl.
It's what you've all been waiting for...
The champion battle, versus Steven! Oh yeah.
Skarmory was no big deal. It was only able to get one layer of Spikes before Shelly destroyed it. Claydol? Andy was able to bring it down in 2 Leaf Blades, one of which was a critical hit. Up next was Cradily, who got Ice Beamed by Shelly. Half way done! I accidentally sent out Bruno the Hariyama to deal with Armaldo. Big mistake. Bruno survived a Slash, only to be taken down by another one. RIP. But Shelly quickly destroyed the fossil. Gary took awhile to defeat Aggron due to Steven using about 3 Full Restores , and had to take multiple Earthwuakes before bringing it down.
Steven sent out Metagross. I feared this moment the entire time I played. But what had to be done had to be done. Gary attempted to Hi-Jump-Kick...
...Only to be killed by Psychic. RIP Gary
Shelly was no match. Only one Surf was used before Meteor Mash broguht her down. RIP.
It was up to my final two, Victor and Andy. Andy didn't have anything to deal with a Metagross with half its HP left. However, Victor did.
Victor used Flamethrower.
Metagross fainted. I had won my second Nuzlocke run!
