Apocalocke Challenge
 
Apocalocke Challenge


Rules:
1. You may only catch the first Pokemon in each route/area that is avalable
2. If a pokemon faints, it is considered dead and must be boxed permanetly
3. All pokemon must be nicknamed
4. You must roll a 4 sided dice to decide your apocalypse. The four are as follows:
Roll 1: Tsunami(Normal, Flying, Water, Grass, and Dragon types survive in this situation)
Roll 2: Heat Wave(Normal, Fire, Rock, Electric, and Ground types survive in this situation)
Roll 3: Blizzard(Normal, Ice, Dark, Fighting, and Steel types survive in this situation)
Roll 4: Nuclear(Normal, Poison, Bug, Psychic, and Ghost types survive in this situation)
5. The types can be either primary or secendary, as long as it has the type
6. You can only catch Pokemon of the types you have. For example:
Tsunami situation: You may catch Charizard, since its part flying. However, you may not catch Charmander or Charmeleon, since, even though they evolve into Charizard, they dont have the typing
Nuclear situation: You may catch Gloom and evolve it into Bellosom since, even though Bellosom doesnt have the Poison type, it did have the type when you caught it
Exeption to this rule: Your starter can be of any type, plus you may catch any Shiny pokemon you come across
7. You have to roll a 5 sided dice to see your Pokemon's role. The five are as follows:
Roll 1: The Lone Wanderer(This survivor is a loner and doesn't trust the rest of your group. He can't switch out of battle once it has started one)
Roll 2: The Survivor Couple(This survivor comes as a pair who have survived together, meaning you get to catch two Pokémon in the route, and they should be treated as a Wedlocke couple and can only battle together. This requires two party spaces, if there aren't, both must be boxed)
Roll 3: The Fearful Survivor(This survivor survived because they were so frightened of everything and is always wary. No items may be used on this Pokémon. This includes healing items, TM's and HM's, and evolutionary items. It also may not hold items)
Roll 4: The Lucky Survivor(This survivor got by on pure luck; no special conditions apply)
Roll 5: The Sickly Survivor(This survivor is sick due to the disaster and can only use three moves for the time it is being used. Meaning they can only have three moves, the fourth move is unable to be used and whatever is chosen as that move cannot be switched out for another)

Ultamite Apocalocke:
You think that this is too easy? Why dont you try the Ultamite Apocalocke! you have to choose one game of each region and keep your apocalypes that you roll for all of them!

I have a question; what if the first pokemon you encounter on a route isn't one of the types for your particular apocalypse?

That means you can skip that pokemon without losing your encounter for that area

Thank you :) I've also started my run and here's my progress:
Spoiler:

Player name: Weiss (female)
Rival's name: Barry (it fits him :) )

Badges:
Coal Badge

Encounters:
Route 201: Bidoof (KO'ed)
Route 202: Shinx ( nicknamed Sphinx)
Route 203: Shinx (KO'ed)
Oreburgh Gate: Geodude ( nicknamed Dudette)
Route 207: Ponyta ( nicknamed Kirin)
Oreburgh Mine: Onix (KO'ed)

Important Battles:
The rival battles were all won with no casualties

Me and the team challenged the Oreburg Gym and Piplup carried through the gym trainers and two of Roark's pokemon as illustrated in the image attached :) Unfortunately the first death of the run happend and it was Kirin whom i tried to use to weaken cranidos. Very reckless on my part considering that cranidos is pretty tough on this part of the game and Kirin was headbutted to death but not before getting an ember in :( Tux (Piplup) was able to avenge Kirin and get us the badge. But still... :( My plan for now is to go back to Verity Lakefront to catch another pokemon there because i forgot to.

The current team:

Tux (Prinplup, evolved through righteous vengance) level 16 male, lucky survivor
Sphinx (Shinx) level 12 male, sole survivor
Dudette(Geodude) level 10 female, sole survivor

The deceased:

Kirin (Ponyta) level 11, male sickly survivor :(



I forgot to ask :), if I'm going to get Rotom in the Old Chateau and i encountered another pokemon on the Chataeu, can i still get him?

Random Tsunami Red

Alright, I’ve been freed from work and that means it’s Pokémon Challenge time. I’m gonna be playing a randomised version of FireRed, so this playthrough could either go brilliantly or terribly. Probably terribly with my track record.

I’m also adding in a duplicate clause. Hopefully I shouldn’t have to deal with multiple encounters of the same pokémon/evolution branch with the game being randomised, but it’s always good to be prepared.

Player Name: Zośka.
https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/0/03/FRLG_Leaf_Intro.png

The pokémon I can chose from are:
Starmie. http://serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/121.png Minun. http://serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/312.png Grovyle. http://serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/253.png

The pokémon I choose:
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/grovyle.gif
Exyst the Grovyle
The Lone Wanderer
Male|Lax|Overgrow|Lv. 5
Pound
Leer
Absorb
Quick Attack

Spoiler: Activity Update

The tsunami's waves subside~

Route 1
Ah, my first few steps into the first route, and what do I encounter right off the bat?
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/swampert.gif
Yep, that's right. A Swampert. I catch him and name him 'Steinbruck'. He's a Lucky Survivor, too. What a chap. Something tells me I should enjoy this luck while I still have it.

Route 22
Hahaa, this playthrough is going to be ridiculous. I enter route 22 and have a brief encounter with a Regice. I'm very glad this pokémon's type doesn't survive my apocalypse because the only move Regice knows at level 3 is Explosion. I run away and try again, this time finding a pokémon I can catch.
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/slakoth.gif
A Slakoth. Of course. I catch him and name him 'Churchill'. Oh boy, and he's a Sickly Survivor as well. Steinbruck, where'd your luck go?

Route 2
I was super excited because the first pokémon I encountered was a Pikachu, but then I remembered electric types somehow didn't survive a mega wave of destruction. Sad. Instead, I'm destined to catch this lil' birdie.
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/murkrow.gif
I name him 'Binoche'. He's a good ol' Fearful Survivor, oh boy.

Viridian Forest
Heh...heheheh...oh god.
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/lugia.gif
It's a flying type...and the first encounter... I don't have the poké balls for this. And it turns out the poké ball issue doesn't even matter as it whirlwinds me away.


Spoiler: Current Party

If the Pokemon you encounter in the Old Chateau isn't one of the types for your apocalypes, you may skip that Pokemon and still be able to catch Rotom :3

Update number 2- The Path to Rustboro City

Spoiler:
After going through route 101 i arrived at oldsdale town.
I then proceeded to beat every trainer on route 102 to get money
after buying more pokeballs i went north of Oldsdale town to route 103 to get my encounter
My encounter for route 103 was a loudred.
After 3 pokeballs thrown i captured it

I then added to the team:

Big Bertha the loudred- Lucky Survivor
Moves-
Pound
Uproar
Astonish
Howl
Rash Nature

After that i traveled left of Oldsdale to route 102 which i had just cleared of trainers

I then got my encounter there after a couple of run arounds.
My encounter for route 102 was a Miltank
I got lucky and caught it first try while fighting it with Big Bertha......(maybe my loudred really is lucky)

I then caught my fifth team member (for now)
Lily the Miltank- Lone Survivor
Moves-
Tackle
Impish Nature

Made it to the next location Petalburg City

Talked to my dad Norman and Wally, my second rival of the game
Norman gave wally a pokeball and growlithe to use

(Wally is supposed to be the catching tutorial but im well aware how to do it though)
Wally then proceeds to catch a farfetch'd

Cleared out the trainers on route 104 (one of them had a typhlosion)
I accidentally killed my encounter which was a Heracross :(

Petalburg woods was next
Killed encounter by crit- the encounter was a snubbull

Found a blue flute, silk scarf, and a scope lens

Gave scope lens to Lily because shes a tank :)

Gave Silk Scarf to Big Bertha

Gave Everyone else oran berries

I continued on route 104 beating all trainers until i made it to Rustboro city where the first gym is.

I will post my next update after i beat the gym.

(By the way i will do a team recap at the start of every update from now on)

After leaving the gym a team aqua grunt runs off with a Devon employee's goods.
Of course i go after him.
After entering route 116 i fight a couple of trainers then go into the grass to get an encounter.
And low and behold the encounter is a Lvl 8 Blaziken.
I lower it down to the red and catch it in one pokeball.

I now welcome to the team Erza the Lucky Blaziken
Moves:
Scratch
Growl
Focus Energy
Ember
Lonely Nature

After making it through route 116 i meet an old man in front of a cave.
He said the team aqua grunt we were chasing has stolen his darling Peeko (his wingull)
So we go into Rusturf Tunnel to retrieve what has been stolen.
Right off the bat i get an encounter.
A Lvl 6 Hitmontop

I catch it after a few tries.
I name Him Sanji the Fearful Hitmontop
I will be boxing him for now because i already have Erza.
I pick up an item above me........and since items are randomized.....
Its a Master ball.
I'm hoping i can get more than one of these because with my disaster chosen
The only legendary i can catch in this game is Registeel.
Anyway i beat the aqua grunt and return peeko to the old man who is really mr. Briney
and the Devon Goods to the employee
He takes me to the president of the Devon Corps and i get a Great ball and a Pokenav

Then after leaving Rustboro i run into May who wants to battle.
She has a Natu still (i set it so the rival would have the starter it chose through the whole game)
and a Seedot
I of course destroyed her and registered her in the pokenav.

I then backtracked through Petalburg woods to Mr. Briney's hut
and he took me in his boat to the next town where the next gym is.
I got an old rod so im gonna get encounters at every pond i can.
In my next update when i take on the gym ill put all the encounters i got


Cheers!

After beating Brawly i ventured into Granite cave.
My encounter there was a ditto
I caught and put into my PC Terminator the Sickly Ditto

I then got on Mr. Briney's boat and traveled to next place Slateport City
I beat all the trainers on the beach and in the beach hut.
In Slateport I needed to find Captain Stern.

I noticed once getting into the city there was a big mass of team aqua grunts blocking the museum.
After talking to one of Captain Stern's assistants i was able to go into the museum.
I found Stern on the top floor only after talking to him i had to fight 2 team aqua grunts.
After beating them I continued North to Route 110

My encounter was a Linoone which i caught and named Lloyd the Fearful Linoone, which i boxed
I then cleared out all the trainers on the other side of route 103
I then went down and cleared out all of the trainers on route 110
May was waiting for me at the end of the route.

Her pokemon were:
Sealeo
Clefable
Xatu

She still wasnt hard because i used Erza to double kick her clefable and sealeo in to oblivion
then i used Offense to chomp down her Xatu.
I then entered Mauville city where the next gym is.

Before i fight the gym im going to get a bike and beat all the trainers on cycling road.
Im gonna grind up my pokemon then im gonna take on the third gym.
Ill put what happens in my next update.

Update 8- Lots and Lots of Trainers

Spoiler:
After beating Wattson i went east of Mauville to route 118 and beat all the trainers there.

I then went to Route 111 and fought all the trainers and the trainer family of four.
Killed my encounter which was a stantler. I did it on purpose because im never gonna use a stantler.

I got my encounter on route 117 which was a Metagross

I used my Masterball because Great balls were getting me nowhere.

I now have Querty the Lone Metagross, an Adamant steel/Psychic type

He will be replacing Kiki, My steelix

I took route 117 to Verdanturf Town

I went to Rusturf Tunnel and beat the trainers.

I then broke the rocks that connect Verdanturf and Rustboro.
A guy rewarded me with HM04 strength.

I then continued up route 111

I broke a rock and got my encounter which was a Sableye
I now have in my PC Emma the Lucky Sableye

I Encountered Granbull on route 112 and caught it. I have Vodka the Lone Granbull in my PC

I beat some trainers and made it to Fiery Path.

Outside it are some team magma grunts blocking a path.

On Fiery Path I encountered and caught a wigglytuff.

In my PC i now have Rita the Lucky Wigglytuff

I made it out of Fiery Path and continued down route 111 i stopped at a rest house and healed

I entered route 113 and began to progress

I encountered Spheal but critted it.

After i made it through route 113 i made it to Fall Arbor Town

I went west and continued down route 114 i accidentally killed my encounter which was a smeagle

I made it into Meteor Falls to fight Team Magma

My encounter was a Dunsparce, which i caught

So i have in my PC Shenron the Fearful Dunsparce

Team Magma said they were going to Mt. Chimney so i will follow them.

I will post an update when i beat them and make it to the next gym.


Cheers!

I then continued down Jagged Pass beating all the Trainers

I then made it to Lava Ridge Town and finally. The Fourth Gym.

Cheers!

My 2nd update:
Spoiler:

Encountered Pokemon:
Verity Lakefront: Bidoof (Nicknamed Plutia)
Route 204: Budew (KO'ed)
Route 205: Parasichu (KO'ed)
Eterna Forest: Buneary (KO'ed)
Route 211: Bidoof (KO'ed)

Important Events:
-Passed by Floaroma Town
-Foiled Team Galactic's scheme in the Valley Windworks (and nearly lost three members due to Purugly)
- Went through Eterna Forest with Cheryl
- Arrived at Eterna City and was given HM 01 by Cynthia
- Challenged Gym Leader Gardenia. My original plan for this gym was to have Plutia spam Rollout to win through the gym, but that plan fell out of the window when i saw that she was part normal and water type. Tux and Dudette were also not suited for the gym, so Sphinx was my safest choice. The three gym trainers were handled mainly by Sphinx with Tux tagging in to finish of some of the pokemon when Sphinx's health became low. Unfortunately during the battle with Gardenia, we lost Sphinx though I would not forget him anytime soon because victory was achieved by him proccing bite's flinch effect to defeat turtwig and cherrim. Roserade was another issue altogether and I had to use one potion and two super potions to keep Sphinx alive long enough to weaken her and for Tux to deal the final blow with peck. We got the Forest Badge, but at the cost of another comerade's life :(

Next plan for the trip:
- Go to the Old Chataeu to catch Rotom
- Go to the team Galactic Building in Eterna City and mess with their plans
- Head to the next city for another badge

The team:
- Tux (Lucky) Male Level 22 - Prinplup
- Dudette (Lone) Female Level 17 - Geodude
- Plutia (Lone) Female Level 17 - Bibarel (Evolved on the way to Eterna City)

Deceased:
- Kirin (Sickly) Level 11 Male - Ponyta
- Sphinx (Lone) Level 22 Male - Luxio (Also evolved on the way to Eterna City)

SirDolan July 12th, 2017 11:22 AM

Or8 lads, it's time for another update~

Spoiler: Activity Update

The tsunami saga continues...

Pewter City
After some time training and levelling up my team, I finally feel ready to take on the gym. And by ‘ready’, I mean I’m confident enough to win and walk away with at least one pokémon alive. I made the right call about sending Steinbruck out first as both of Brock’s pokémon are strong against Exyst. He has an Arbok and a Scyther, but thankfully Steinbruck and Binoche handle them, and I win the battle without losing anyone.
https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/archive/d/dd/20160212104017%21Boulder_Badge.png

Route 3
After battling my way through fifty thousand trainers, I finally encounter…
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/huntail.gif
Huntail! Not bad. I could have done with a dragon type, but I’m not complaining. I name her ‘Senorita’, and she’s a…Survivor Couple. Oh boy. Off I go to hopefully catch a male dragon type.
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/golduck.gif
Nope. I get a Golduck. That’s three water types in my party. Game why must you do this to me? I name him ‘Guinevere’, and so Senorita and Guinevere are officially married.

Mt. Moon
I take a step into the mountain, and what beautiful being am I lucky enough to find?
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/altaria.gif
An Altaria! I am blessed to catch this beautiful creature and name him ‘Aromatica’. He’s a Lucky Survivor, too. Looks like this playthrough heard my plea.

Route 4
Ah…finally, fresh air! And time to catch a new pokémon as well.
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/shiftry.gif
A Shiftry, eh? At least he isn’t a water type. I name him ‘Jackpot’; sadly he’s a Fearful Survivor. No items for you, Jackpot.

Cerulean City
Things do not go well here. I make the mistake of starting my rival battle with Senorita. A combination of Poison Powder + my rival’s Minun = both Senorita and Guinevere going down. Getting war flashbacks of my last attempt at a Wedlocke here. I manage to win the battle with only the Survival Couple as casualties, but my rival’s last pokémon being a Rayquaza isn’t cool, man.

Route 24
After battling my way through Nugget Bridge and somehow not losing any pokémon, I come across a ninja.
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/ninjask.gif
Ah, Ninjask, the pokémon who always had a spot in any competitive team I made back in the days of X and Y. I name her ‘Saori’, and she’s a Sickly Survivor. Why.

Route 25
Merry Christmas to me.
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/delibird.gif
I name her ‘Clusiana’, a Survivor Couple. I guess the present I get is another pokémon. :fufu:
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/ledyba.gif
And Clusiana’s husband is this lil’ guy. Glaber the Ledyba. Could be worse, but definitely could be better.

Back in Cerulean City
Welp, I’ve battled every trainer possible in this area. That means the only thing left to do is challenge the gym. The battle stresses me out a little as Misty’s Typhlosion almost knocks out Aromatica, forcing me to switch out to Steinbruck. After that, it’s just a battle between her Swablu and Binoche, and Binoche wins it easily.

Love the idea, I just arrived at Dewford now. So far, one casualty. Ralts lost her beloved partner, a Surskit. Their survival together was short lived. With Signal Beam as its main attack, Surskit had seemed to be quite the powerhouse. Its low defensive prowess sadly made it no match for Team Aqua's Poochyena. However, just a moment later we encountered a Whismur in battle who impressed my Ralts so much (her Disarming Voice had NO effect, she was baffled) that she was completely over the death of her partner and fell for the new guy. So here we are, still a couple on the team.

Spoiler: Activity Update

After 45 days of peace, the tsunami saga returns to cause more chaos

Route 6
Alrighty then, so after vegging out and sleeping in the Pokémon Centre for a month and a half like a hobo; it’s finally time to continue on with the adventure. And what better way to start off than to catch a new pokémon.
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/taillow.gif
Meet ‘Phyllis’ the Taillow. An edgy Lone Wanderer who don’t need no support.
Never mind. He needed support.

Route 11
I comb my way through the trainers, eventually making my way into Vermilion City and rushing into this route because dammit I need a sixth pokémon that won’t instantly get KO’d by a critical hit. What does Arceus bless me with?
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/pidgeotto.gif
That’s right. A beautiful Pidgeotto. I name her ‘Cleopatra’, and she’s a Fearful Survivor. I’ll take what I can get.

Diglett’s Cave
I enter this cave fully expecting to encounter nothing but Digletts. I can just imagine the game doing that to me.
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/kabutops.gif
I honestly did not expect to encounter a Kabutops. I name her Pennell, she turns out to be a Sickly Survivor.

S.S. Anne
After a little bit of grinding and the loss of two beloved pokémon (rip Binoche, you were one of the originals…), it’s time to board the battle cruiser. All I can say is that there are so. many. trainers. Everyone and their grandma who can battle are apparently on this cruise. Even my rival is here.
The battle with my rival goes surprisingly smooth. He didn’t have any good pokémon this time besides an Electrode, and Jackpot takes it out easily (where’s your Rayquaza now, bro?).
After countless battles, I finally make it to the Captain and receive the HM Cut! With no more trainers to battle in the area, it’s time to take on the third gym.

Vermilion City
The battle against Surge is quite painful. I have Steinbruck taking charge of most of the battle as Surge throws out a Quilfish and a friggin’ Registeel. You’d think after a legendary pokémon he’d send out something easy to battle, right? Wrong. He throws out a Gyarados that Thrash’s three times before becoming confused, only to be healed with a Full Heal. I command Steinbruck to Bide at the wrong time, and the God damn overgrown fish face takes him out.
http://i.imgur.com/TZA23kk.png?1 A moment of silence for Steinbruck. The very first pokémon I caught in this challenge. You shall be forever remembered, sweet prince.
I send out Aromatica and he avenges his fallen brother with screams of death and pecks of destruction.

That means end of this Challenge. And my thoughts about it? I actually didn't enjoy it that much, because of lack of catchable Pokemon (which is most fun part of Nuzlocke for me). Because of that, I decided to stop my Ultimate run. At least for now.

Disturb Not The Harmony November 23rd, 2017 1:07 AM

Username: Disturb Not The Harmony
Is this an Ultimate challenge?: No
Game(s): Blue
Apocalypes: Blizzard

Blizzard in Kanto, before two of the types even exist. This is going to be... fun.

Only Normal, Ice, and Fighting types may be obtained.
Starter is an exception.
Eeveelution is allowed on the grounds that it was a Normal-type when I obtained it.


The long road's beginning: First Four Badges
Spoiler:

Embarked from Pallet Town with a specially-hardened breed of plant. Supposedly it's half-plant... half-warm-blooded-lizard? Whichever. I'm not a biology expert - Professor Oak is.

{Subject X the Bulbasaur: Lucky Survivor}

Viridian looks terrible - the trees are dead, and I think most people have burrowed underground. The colonists at the exploratory base on the surface gave me a package for the Professor and some animal-capturing equipment. I returned it, got tasked with further investigation, and set out. May gave me a map of what Kanto... used to look like. Hopefully it's still got some use.

Scouting the areas around Viridian, I discovered a lone overgrown rat wandering to the west - it might have been someone's pet, once. I took it with me.

{Watson the Rattata: Lone Wanderer}

Had the luck to stumble across another one to the north. I wonder if it was just vermin, or whether Viridian had a pet rat craze, back in the day...

{Ratslin the Rattata: Lucky Survivor}

Far north of Viridian, there used to be a scenic laboratory for research into trees and insects. Nowadays, it's just crazed mutant insects. I ran through as fast as I could. The plant leeched energy from cocoons we encountered along the way to heal. You have to do what you have to in these times.

{No valid catch is possible in Viridian Forest.}

It's been a while since I updated this log. Got caught by Pewter slavers. Had to fight my way out. Fortunately, this plant proved very useful against those rock-brutes they like to employ.

Took shelter with the survivors of the Mt. Moon facility. While there, I was asked to take care of a sickly pigeon; just call me Tesla, I guess.

{Parker the Pidgey: Sickly Survivor; Sand-Attack chosen}

With the slavers between me and home, I elected to enter the mountain in search of further supplies. Before departing, I contacted Professor Oak via their radio transmitter and informed him of my location and the survival of the Mt. Moon facility; he was pleased to hear that there had been survivors, and was interested to hear that my plant had grown in size and strength.

Even so, my plant fared poorly against the local rabid bats, but the pigeon helped. Strange glowing rocks embedded in the cavern ceiling and walls lit my way, but only two that I found were large enough to be worth carrying. When I took one to the researchers, they described it as a "Moon Stone" - an object of apparent extraterrestrial origin that had mutagenic effects on certain species of wildlife.

I encountered several human scavengers within the cave, who were almost all extremely glad to hear of fellow survivors and gratefully accepted guidance towards the entrance. The exceptions all seemed to be part of a group called the 'Rockets' - apparently a rival faction to the League's successors. They were all too eager to mug others for supplies, regardless of whether or not it would be fatal, and I was all too glad to return their violence in kind.

The pigeon seemed to take to the exercise (and dining on local mushrooms) well, and grew into a plumper and sturdier form... though it still shows signs of sickness. Nothing of importance happened after defeating the Rockets on my way through Mt. Moon - I was attacked by a crazed paleontologist, but he became docile after I subdued him, and even offered to share his finds. I declined, telling him he would be better off reporting on the fossils to the Mt. Moon facility, and left him to dash off.

To my surprise, in the depths of the mountain, I came across the legendary 'fairy of the mountain' - a plump little thing, which I found crouched in a corner, badly wounded. I patched it up as best I could and took it with me. I suspect the Rockets might have been responsible for its injuries. Rotten thugs...

{Myth the Clefairy: Sickly Survivor; Growl chosen}

{Note: there is exactly one Pokemon which is a valid catch in Mt. Moon, namely Clefairy.

Furthermore, the Fossil was irrelevant, as I don't get to revive it under Blizzard rules.}

Cerulean, to my surprise, seemed to have a few survivors. The inhabitants of the Gym district told me they had been cut off from the oceanside research facility; the once-sprawling city lacked connections even between its own districts, much less others.

I found a fearful, frozen sparrow outside the city boundaries; it seemed traumatized and unfit for current conditions. I vowed to give it to a good home if I found a settlement in better shape than Cerulean.

{Sam the Spearow: Fearful Survivor; will be traded for Farfetch'd}

When I visited the Gym, which had been converted into a shelter, I found the settlement was led by the highest-ranking survivor - Misty, a former junior officer. After testing my skills in battle, she tasked me with breaking the Rocket blockade of the bridge.

On my way there, I was attacked by a mysterious stranger; once I had subdued him, I found him to be Professor Oak's grandson! He told me that he had sneaked through the blockade and found the rest of the city populated by roving, starving mobs, with one survivor at the research facility: Bill, famed inventor of the PC matter-to-data storage systems. Unfortunately, he hadn't been able to spend much time there before being driven off by attacking Rockets - and, in his paranoia, he had mistaken even a fellow child of Pallet for a marauder.

Something off his story seemed off, but I let him go. He was May's brother, after all. With strange aloofness, he soon headed off without me... Or without helping break the blockade. I wasn't very impressed. I always thought the Professor spoiled the boy, and he indeed seemed to have a marked lack of character when push came to shove...

Anyway, I joined the battle efforts and helped break the Rocket defenses. The commander made a direct offer to me, saying someone of my skills was wasted on "rag-ridden savages", but I refused with extreme violence. I wondered why he seemed so confident I would take his offer...

I rescued two fearful pigeons north of Cerulean; they don't appear battle-ready, but may help repopulate the area whenever... things recover.

{Terry the Pidgey: Fearful Survivor

Clarice the Pidgey: Fearful Survivor}

Making my way through the Rocket-ravaged north, we were able to pacify the survivors and reunite them with the rest of the city. Preoccupied with search-and-rescue of civilians, the Gym members sent me off to check on Bill.

When I stepped into the facility, I found the heating systems had been long inoperable, and almost all the scientists had frozen to death years ago; Bill was indeed alive, but the Professor's grandson neglected to tell me he had survived by fusing himself with some sort of cold-resistant animal. Once I told him rescuers were on the way, he consented to be separated, and pressed a faded ticket into my hand as I led him and the hapless creature to reunite with the rest of Cerulean. I hadn't the heart to tell him that ships had ceased to be relevant to the world years ago.

Two bitter weeks later, the united Cerulean had beaten back the Rockets. With my way now clear, I departed in an expedition to attempt to restore communications with Vermillion, Saffron, Celadon, and Lavender. Of the cities, all but Vermillion had been reporting Rocket infiltration before contact ceased.

On my way out, I was attacked by a Rocket, who bargained for his life with a stolen technical machine on digging procedures once I defeated him. Disgusted, I allowed him to live; he swore he would resign his membership in the Rockets and took off. I have no idea whether he lied or not, but recovering the TM was more important than one Rocket's freedom.

Saffron was barricaded by Rocket guards, and roads elsewhere were blocked by landslides and dead trees. However, as I retreated from the Rocket barricade, I was accosted by survivors who had been living in the underground passage from Cerulean to Vermillion. In gratitude for informing them of Cerulean's survival and the breaking of the Rocket raiding gangs that had cut them off from civilization, they permitted me to use their tunnel.

I also rescued a lucky feral cat, for all that it appeared initially hostile to capture. A tin of salvaged tuna did wonders for its mood.

{Lana the Meowth: Lucky Survivor}

North of Vermillion, I ran into Vermillion's... security forces. I had to fight off several before I had time to scream that I was in no way affiliated with the Rockets, and had come from Cerulean. A few hours of search, questioning, and examination of my Cascade Badge and Pallet equipment, they finally released me into Vermillion, and agreed to renew contact with Cerulean.

Vermillion was a strange place: it appeared to be in good shape, but run by the self-proclaimed "Lieutenant" Surge, a crazed war veteran who had locked himself in a barbed-wire-surrounded compound with his most faithful underlings. He claimed his reign defended Vermillion not just from the Rockets, but by "those no-good Reds", a strange and secretive people who lived out of the rusted-red S.S. Anne, a luxury cruise liner that had been frozen in port at the start of the Cold Times.

Funnily enough, Bill's ticket had been for the S.S. Anne. I wondered...

Meanwhile, in Vermillion, I came across a straggling pigeon, and was able to give my sparrow to a good home in exchange for a duck. Unfortunately, it was equally fearful. I supposed it could stay with the other fearful birds I had adopted.

{Mira the Pidgey: Lone Wanderer}
{DUX the Farfetch'd: Fearful Survivor. I initially rolled 2, but I can't get any other Vermillion encounters! Rolled repeatedly until I got my first non-2, a 3.}

The former chair of the Pokemon fanclub, a very popular man due to both his genial personality and his fiery stallion, promised me that he would see about taking leadership of the colony if I could resolve the situation with the "Reds". I told him I would see what I could do.

As I approached the S.S. Anne and glimpsed a frost-covered ticket machine, I told myself it couldn't possibly work...

It did. The machine worked just well enough to accept that last, faded ticket.

I was dumbfounded.

Once I entered the S.S. Anne, I was attacked by the former passengers; fortunately, Misty had helped teach my fairy how to shoot jets of water, which helped subdue them without harming them. They became hopeful upon learning that I was not one of Surge's goons. When questioned, they admitted to coming into conflict with Vermillion on their expeditions from and to the ship, but claimed the fights had mainly been over resources. I managed to negotiate a peace, if they were willing, but I was requested to do two things: find and defeat the "stowaway" who had recently been raiding the ship's supplies, and fetch medicine for the ship's "captain", who had fallen deathly ill.

I was much less surprised than I should have been to learn the "stowaway" was none other than Professor Oak's grandson. He insisted he was here on Lt. Surge's orders, and was trying to help the settlement. I told him I didn't care, and harming survivors helped no one. He was thrown off, and the former chair retrieved medicine for the captain. The man soon made a complete recovery, and the passengers agreed to share valuable tree-cutting equipment (which had somehow been in the cargo hold) with the settlement as a sign of goodwill. As an interesting bonus, the equipment went right through the barbed wire.

I really don't want to record the raid on Surge's compound; suffice to say it involved a lot of sorting through garbage cans. Paranoid wretch. He was relieved of command, Vermillion renewed contact with Cerulean, and all was well.

Well, except that the area east of Vermillion was blocked by wreckage, landslides, and general extremely poor environmental conditions, so that they remained cut off from Lavender; there were even rumors of some kind of monstrosity that roamed the ruins and attacked those who tried to make it through the wreckage. (I found a traumatized sparrow nearby, but I suspect environmental conditions had more to do with it than any "monster".) As the veterans forbid anyone to even attempt the journey at this point, even under the new leadership, I went back to Cerulean to discuss what course of action to pursue next.

I was hailed as a "hero" and granted use of a "Dreamcycle" snowmobile from Cerulean's stocks. However, when I spoke to Misty, she had no solution to Vermillion's eastern issues; Cerulean was stretched thin enough protecting its own borders and the route to Vermillion to assist in wreckage-removal efforts. However, Cerulean could use the tree-cutting equipment, since the route east of Cerulean had been long choked off by thickly-packed dead trees and a landslide - could I arrange for some of that equipment to reach Cerulean?

Vermillion was willing to trade Dreamcycles for tree-cutters, so the road to Rock Tunnel reopened. A small group of survivors, the remainder of those trapped by the landslide, was hostile at first, but opened free passage with Cerulean once they confirmed no Rocket involvement. They warned me, however, that Lavender was now a hive of Rocket activity.

I left the mated pair of sparrows I found outside Rock Tunnel in the care of the geological facility outside the entrance, and took the mated pair of humanoid creatures I found within Rock Tunnel with me. It must be something in the water.

{Steve & Stephanie the Spearows: Survivor Couple}
{James & Jessie the Machops: Survivor Couple}

Lavender Town was atrocious. The reports had been correct: Rockets entirely dominated what remained of the settlement, and the survivors labored away as their slaves. Nothing had been left sacred or untouched. Even the local humanitarian, Mr. Fuji, had been kidnapped and held as a "dissenter". I skirted the edge of the settlement and set off west, seeing what could be done.

The routes between cities had degenerated into sites of open civil war between Rockets and civilians. I helped pick off Rockets where I could (and rescued an abandoned cat), and in return was allowed use of the underground tunnel.
{Jack the Meowth: Lone Wanderer}

They told me Celadon was worse.

Even the wildlife fled in Celadon, which was saying something. Though it had retained its facilities so well that plants still grew inside the Gym, the "contested areas" were a warzone, with Rockets and League loyalists brawling in the snow-swamped streets. The League loyalists held the south side, and the Rockets the north; though the League had better fortifications, the Rockets had the supplies, and they had been long locked in a stalemate.

Which was where I came in, of course...

Skirting the edges of Celadon and heading west, I managed to rescue a girl who had been cut off from her family by a Rocket raid; in gratitude, she gave me an advanced technical machine on the topic of flight. She vouched for me when I came to the League side, and Erika tested me as Misty had. Satisfied with my performance and accepting my testimony and Badges as proof of my anti-Rocket aims, she told me the location of Rocket headquarters: beneath an abandoned casino towards the middle of town. At the same time that League loyalists launched a cross-town offensive, I would sneak in and attack headquarters. It was not a new idea, but both League and Rocket numbers had depleted, and with someone young and fresh like me, it might work now.

A few days later, I thus found myself in Rocket HQ.

Their headquarters was crawling with Rockets, but not so much as it might otherwise be. I swiftly mowed through ranks of the weaker Rockets, the stronger ones being out fighting, and obtained access to their elevator system. Downstairs, I assailed the personal guard of their chief and personally fought the man; while he might have been my superior, the sounds of League loyalists storming his weakened base caused him to suddenly find a pressing need to be elsewhere.

With their headquarters captured, the Rocket presence fell apart. Within the month, they had lost their hold on the northern sector, and Celadon Gym's people gleefully broadcasted the news that the Rockets had been defeated in their stronghold. The brutes still held Saffron and Lavender, but they had gone from terrorizing four cities to two, and Saffron was surrounded on four sides. Erika told me, and Misty confirmed over the radio, that, if Lavender could be liberated, the free cities would launch a coordinated offensive against Saffron.

Speaking of liberation, the Rockets' captives in the north, both animal and human, had been freed. The cause of the Rockets' activities in Mt. Moon was now obvious: they had quite the supply of the mythical "fairies", so much so that I wondered if the one I had found had been the last one actually left in its natural environment. Though the League took the majority for treatment and shelter in Gym facilties, I was gifted with a seemingly-inseparable pair: one of the fairies, and some fox-like creature that, according to Erika's scientists, had a markedly unstable genetic code. They were not sure whether it was a natural creature or a Rocket experiment, but nonetheless, I gladly took it.

{Hunter the Eevee and Aria the Clefairy: Survivor Couple

Got lucky there; hoped for it, didn't expect to get it.}

I received good news from home as well: vermillion had taken advantage of the tree-cutting machines to open the way to an abandoned underground tunnel which, as it turned out, led back to Pewter. They had re-established contact with Viridian and Pallet, providing them with desperately-needed supplies, and driven out the slavemasters of Pewter. Professor Oak congratulated me on my good works and listened attentively to the reports of my creatures' maturing, including the large, dinosaur-like adult form of my plant, the massive, crested appearance of my pigeon, and the strange new form of my sickly fairy, which had gulped down one of the Moon Stones when I had carelessly neglected my bag, and then... changed. I heard from both my mother and May, and ended the communications with a warm heart.

The journey had been long and hard, but the outlook for this ice-choked world was, at last, beginning to look a little warmer.

Um, could I maybe re-create this for Pokemon Uranium, please? It's a fan game, and it adds a new type, as well as many Fakemon.

It's been a while... It has been a tough road I must say, but I've completed the challenge some time ago.
At first I wanted to finish the Delta Episode as well, so I continued, but I decided to quit halfway through the episode. Some have leveled up since then so the levels aren't entirely accurate.
