The Nuzlocke Challenge

[Zaroas]

Sorry again for being so inactive, lol. Digital art obsession.

Anyhow, I'm going to start on that comic because I got a tablet for my birthday. So that'll be coming up.

Also, expect an official update soon. I have no school tomorrow, so I'm free to play my Nuzlocked games.

 

[SeventySeven]

This really sucks you in. I sat down to just play for a bit, and well, read my commentary.

Update 1

Spoiler:

Nuzlocke Challenge.

Me: Blue
Rival: Gary

Starting out with Saurian, the Bulbasuar.

Suarian (M) lv 5
Mild Nature - Overgrow
Tackle
Growl

Saurian learned Leech Seed.

Caught Yamaha, the Mankey in Route 22.

Yamaha (M) lv 3
Naughty Nature - Vital Spirit
Scratch
Leer

Yamaha died while training on Route 1. Lost to a Pidgey. T_T

Forced to watch old man catch pokemon.

Caught Zephyr, the Pidgey in Route 2. Named in honor of my Zephyr.

Zephyr (M) lv 2
Adamant Nature - Keen Eye
Tackle

Will go back to training.

Zephyr learned Sand-attack.

Zephyr learned gust.

Saurian learned vine whip.

With both Saurian and Zephyr at level 12, I feel safe taking on Gary on Route 22.

Success. Suarian leech-seeded them while Zephyr sand attacked and gusted.

Caught Victor the Weedles in Viridian Forest.

Victor (M) lv 5
Timid Nature - Shield Dust
Poison Sting
String Shot

After defeating a wild caterpie, Victor evolved into Kakuna and learned harden.

This is starting to effect me in weird ways. I'm starting to see 'opposing pokemon died' when I faint them, and I feel my stomach clench every time I think one of my pokemon are going to die.

Victor evolved in Beedrill and learned fury attack.

Made it to Pewter. Taking on Brock with Saurian. Easy victory. Saurian learned sleep powder.

Finally have running shoes. Onto Route 3.

Caught 99 the Jigglypuff on Route 3.

99 (F) lv 5
Quirky Nature - Cute Charm
Sing
Defense Curl

Had to cure it with an antidote after I caught it. Good thing too. 1hp left.

Victor learned focus energy.

Bought Magic the Magikarp in the Route 4 Pokemon Center.

Magic (F) lv 5
Jolly Nature - Swift Swim
Splash

Think I'll deposit it in the computer now as insurance. Besides, I have to raise 99.

Caught Snowball the Geodude in Mt. Moon.

Snowball lv 7
Sassy Nature - Sturdy
Tackle
Defense Curl
Mud Sport

Suarian evolved into Ivysuar in Mt. Moon helping Snowball fight a scientist's voltorb and magnemite. Snowball learned rock throw.

99 learned disable.

Found moon stone, but I think I'll wait to evolve 99.

Won the final battle for the fossil, but Snowball's poisoned and I used up my last antidote. Hopefully my escape rope will work... success! Oh yes, Snowball learned magnitude.

Finally out of Mt. Moon. 99 learned Mega Kick from the move tutor. Should train before I take on Gary.

Zephyr evolved into Pidgeotto.

Zephyr learned Whirlwhind.

Close one with Saurian agaisnt at Ekans on Route 4.

Deposited Victor in the computer at lv 16. I feel guilty, but he wasn't gaining exp fast enough. Also, I believe he's too frail for this team at the moment. I'll make myself feel better by pretending that the computer is a wonderful place that becomes whatever it is the pokemon truly wants.

Snowball tried to learn self-destruct... but that sort of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

99 learned rollout.

Raised everyone to level 21. Time to take on Gary. Wish me luck... I'll lead with Snowball.

Between Snowball and 99, he was taken care of.

Beat Nugget Bridge.

Caught Cali the Abra on Route 25.

Cali (F) lv 9
Calm Nature - Synchronize
Teleport

Onto the gym. Leading with Saurian again. And we won, easily.

Beat that team rocket member. Deposited Magic at the daycare.

Caught Milicent the Oddish on Route 5.

Milicent (M) lv 13
Relaxed Nature - Chlorophyll
Absorb
Sweet Scent

Already have a grass pokemon, so I'll probably deposit Milicent in the computer and use him as an HM slave or backup.

Caught Mickie the Meowth on Route 6.
Bashful Nature - Pickup
Scratch
Growl
Bite

His fate is mostly the same as Milicent's, though since he has the useful pickup ability, I'll probably keep him in my party.

Cali evolved into Kadabra and learned confusion!

Snowball's been poisoned, but we're close to the pokecenter in Vermillion.

Cali died to a Jr. trainer's Raticate on Route 6 (had a bad feeling about it too, even though her health wasn't bad). T_T 99 avenged her.

Received the vs. seeker, old rod, and bike voucher.

Entered the SS Anne

Mickie found a nugget!

Taught 99 Brick Break

Took a break from the SS Anne to work on Route 11

Snowball evolved into Graveler!

Killed the spearow I wanted to catch on Route 11

Saurian was killed thanks to confusion and further bad luck on Route 11 to a Gambler's magnemite. Sad day. Time to take out Milicent.

Time to take on Gary, but I'm still really feeling the loss of Saurian. We will fight with the fires of burning vengeance. Leading with Snowball... no other pokemon was needed. Snowball wasted them all.

Recieved the cut hm. Taught it to Mickie. Watched SS Anne leave.

I'm feeling particularly attached towards Milicent. Almost like he's Saurian's baby.

Milicent's learned Stun Spore and Poison Powder by now.

Took on Surge leading with Snowball. She absolutely destroyed him. Left to go pick up the flash hm.

Caught Darling the Diglett in Diglett's cave.

Darling (F) lv 15
Quiet Nature - Sand Veil
Sand-attack
Scratch
Growl
Magnitude

Will deposit her in the computer later. Meanwhile, switching to Zephyr as lead so we won't get caught in any arena traps.

Decided to head back to Cerulean through Mt. Moon, and picked up the Old Amber in Pewter. I can train Milicent on the way.

Picked up the bike in Cerulean.

Taught aerial ace to Zephyr.

Got Zephyr and 99 badly poisoned while fighting a junior trainer on Route 9

Milicent evolved into Gloom while fighting a Hiker on Route 9! Now don't die Milicent.

Caught King the ekans on Route 9... and unfortunately lost Mickie in the process.

King (M) lv 15
Lax Nature - Shed Skin
Wrap
Leer
Poison Sting
Bite

It seems that I now will have two pokemon to train up in Dark Tunnel. I will also be making the journey without Flash. I don't have the space, nor pokemon for it.

*sigh* And the first pokemon I find is another geodude. I'll catch this one, if only for an hm slave. I'll name her Ginna.

Ginna (F) lv 16
Quiet Nature - Rock Head
Defense Curl
Mud Sport
Rock Throw
Magnitude

King almost dies when caught in a Wild Onix's bind.

It's two dangerous to keep King in the lead. This is the second time he's been caught by an Onix.

Just discovered what it is that sweet scent actually does by accident. This could be useful in the future.

Milicent learned acid and forgot sweet scent. So much for that.

Snowball learned rock slide from the move tutor.

Milicent's finally caught up to the others. King has a long way to go though.

Finally made it through Rock Tunnel. Kinda proud of myself for knowing it so well that I didn't need flash.

Going to try taking on Gary even though King isn't up to snuff yet. Zephyr and Snowball were enough to take care of him, though.

Moving on towards celadon. It's unfortunate that I don't have a pokemon that knows cut so that I can get to the grass.

King learned glare. He's also finally starting to win his own battles.

King evolved into an Arbok with some help from 99 fighting a Lass's meowth on Route 8! Now don't die.

Close call for King on Route 8 fighting a Gambler.

Caught Negative the Oddish on Route 7. Perhaps he'll be the backup to Milicent.

Negative (M) lv 22
Jolly Nature - Chlorophyll
Sweet Scent
Poison Powder
Stun Spore
Sleep Powder

Got the coin case. Considered getting the Dratini, but decided I was better off with the Eevee. At least the Eevee's free if it dies. I named the Eevee Jolt (foreshadowing).

Jolt (M) lv 25
Lax Nature - Run Away
Helping Hand
Sand Attack
Growl
Quick Attack

Bought a leaf stone and a thunder stone and I evolved Milicent and Jolt! Don't die you two.

Taught Negative cut to get the fly hm.

Lost 99 in a double battle right before the bike path! T_T

Taught Fly to Zephyr and Shock Wave to Jolt. Feeling really crushed about 99. I will catch that Snorlax and use him to crush the oposition.

Time to take out my anger on Team Rocket.

Lost King to a critical hit of a damn Raticate from Team Rocket!

Meanwhile, Jolt's proving to be a pleasant surprise.

Went back and caught Pidge the Pidgey on Route 8 before taking on Giovanni. Want to train Jolteon to learn Double Kick first.

Jolt learned Double Kick. Onto wipe the floor with Giovanni. Milicent will be leading.

Milicent took care of Giovanni's first two pokemon easily, but the kangaskan prooved to be a challenge. Thanks to some walling from Snowball, poison powder from Milicent, and double kicking from jolt, though, we managed to pull through.

Finally, it's time to take on Erica. Zephyr esily took out the whole gym, and learned feather dance in the process.

And here is where I think it's time to take a break.

First off, wow. Can't believe how long I sat and played that straight for. I think this is definately the most fun I've had playing a pokemon game in a long while. On the other hand, I slightly hate it and find it emotionally exhausting. I'm still unhappy about the pokemon I lost earlier, and the longer I play, the more I worry and care for the ones I still have. On some level, I'm sure that's not healthy. Oh well. Next time I pick up it will be at the pokemon tower. Here's my current team.

Milicent (M) lv 29
Vileplume
Relaxed Nature - Chlorophyll
Giga Drain
Acid
Poison Powder
Sleep Powder

Jolt (M) lv 30
Jolteon
Lax Nature - Volt Absorb
Double Kick
Shock Wave
Growl
Quick Attack

Snowball (F) lv 31
Graveler
Sassy Nature - Sturdy
Tackle
Defense Curl
Magnitude
Rock Slide

Zephyr (M) lv 34
Pidgeotto
Adamant Nature - Keen Eye
Fly
Sand-Attack
Aerial Ace
Feather Dance

Negative (M) lv 22
Oddish
Jolly Nature - Chlorophyll
Cut
Poison Powder
Stun Spore
Sleep Powder

And a fond rememberance to 99 the jigglypuff, King the arbok, Mickie the meowth, Saurian the ivysaur, Cali the kadabra, and my poor mankey. May they rest in peace.

 

[Sammuthegreat]

So, it says just the first pokemon you find in each area on the nuzlocke site.. is that rule observed?

Yes. Whatever anyone else says, there are only two compulsory rules to Nuzlocking (read the first actual Nuzlocke comic if you want proof). These are:

1) If a Pokemon faints, it's dead. Release it immediately.
2) Catch only the first Pokemon you see in each area. If you kill it or have no Pokeballs, tough titties.


Any other rules are optional, and you can include as many of these as you like. For example, you must nickname your Pokemon, you must not use healing items, you must only buy a maximum of 10 items per Mart, if you have a full team you must not catch backups etc.

There are rules that make the game easier, like saying if your first encounter is a Pokemon you've already caught, you can forgo that one and catch the first NEW Pokemon you encounter. I don't like these rules because they defeat the object of the Challenge, but it's up to you.

 

[SeventySeven]

If a pokemon refuses to be released, does that mean it's come back from the dead?

 

[Alternative]

If a pokemon refuses to be released, does that mean it's come back from the dead?

Usually when a Pokemon refuses to be released, it's because the Pokemon knows a HM which no other Pokemon know. Just teach that same HM to something else and you can release it, or just stick it in a box and don't touch it at all and consider it dead.

Also regarding the rule about catching the Pokemon in each area, when I first read it, or in the original rules on this thread it does state that you can only catch one Pokemon per area, so I'm sticking by those rules as they're what I started using when I started this challenge. I know I should use the proper rules, but I've already started with thos rules, so I may as well stick with it.

Expect another update within the next two days from me. :D

[Zaroas]

Platinum update time, finally.

Spoiler:

After destroying Byran with Machoman the Machamp at Canalave City, I went to the library. Professor Rowan gave another one of his boring lectures, when suddenly an earthquake occured. We all ran downstairs, but it wasn't an earthquake that happened - It was an explosion. At Lake Valor. Hey, guess where I have to go? Lake Valor! Figures.

I flew over there, stepping over Magikarps and defeating grunts when I got to Saturn. His Pokemon were no match for a combination of Starscream the Staraptor and Aghast the Gengar. Wondering how Dawn was doing, I flew to Lake Verity. Grunts? Peice of cake. This is eas- Oh hey look it's Mars! And I beat the insults right out of her with, again, a combination of Starscream and Aghast.

How's Barry doing? I wish I could say I flew right to Lake Acuicity, but no - I had to walk. I ran through Mt. Coronet and outside to Route 216. There, I caught Evergreen the Abomasnow. Battling a couple trainers, I kept going. Route 217 gave me a good ol' Sneasel, who I nicknamed Vile. Phew! Acucity Lakefront. Wait, what do you mean I need the Gym Badge?

Depositing Storm in my box, I grabbed Dr. Doom the Houndour to grind. Soon, I had a Level 44 Houndoom in my hands. It was time to take on the Gym. Against one of the trainers, I sent out Aghast against a Glalie. Wait a second - Glalie can learn crunch? Noooooo!

So Aghast died with dignity. D':

I finally reached Candice. Sneasel? Pfft. Riptide the Empoleon took it out in a Surf. Piloswine? No big deal. Machoman dealed with it. Abomasnow? Gogogogo Dr. Doom. Froslass. Oh gosh. The thing had swept me in previous play throughs of Platinum. I sent out Sewage the Bronzong to beat it. Froslass tried spamming Double Team, but in the end it was no match for 2 Gyro Balls to the face.

To replace Aghast, I quickly grabbed Hardcore the Geodude out of my box. Currently I am grinding him. Next up, Lake Acucity.

[Sammuthegreat]

If a pokemon refuses to be released, does that mean it's come back from the dead?

I know your question's already been answered, but just wanted to add something extra.

If a Pokemon refuses to be released, it means it's the only Pokemon that knows an essential HM like Cut or Strength or Surf. That much you already know. The extra bit is that if you don't have any other Pokemon that know or can learn an HM move you need to progress, then it's game over. You can't break the rules to catch any extra Pokemon. You can of course go back and find another Pokemon on a Route you've not used up yet, but you can't use the dead HM slave and you can't catch a second Pokemon on any Route.

Just to clarify.

 

[Zaroas]

I don't even release Pokemon. I just put the dead ones in a special box, just for updates and memories.

I've always felt like releasing something was a bit of a waste when you could just store it in a box and transfer it later on.

 

[Lord Varion]

Hmmm... quite odd how a guy at college tells me how he is trying this on emerald and he's gonna put it online
and i find this
anyway i may try this after i take a break of hacking :3

 

[DefiningTheDecade]

First Ruby Update!! :D

Spoiler:

So I pick up a torchic and find out my game was hacked..

My torchics rival is treecko..

After a fail attempt to reel in my hacked in charmander that killed my torchic it resulted in a fail so I started over with Treecko for some odd reason, though, my opponent was still a treecko(May you're agitating me)
Charmander=Ember=Dead Treecko

So this time I picked mudkip and obviously May picked Treecko(Just kill yourself)

I successfully caught Hothead(Charmander for those of you that don't know) and Deposited Surf(Mudkip)

I advanced after an intense grinding session with Hothead to level 25 and went to speak to my evil father (he reminds me of Dr. Evil from austin powers) Then all of the sudden this little nuisance pops up begging my father for some catching lessons.. Being my dad he made me do it..

After the little kid caught and effin ralts one the first time I ditched him and went to the random forest sitting next to and between two urban cities.. (script turned off for scott I guess)

Didn't feel like grinding here so I went on and found this douche looking for a shroomish when an entire forest of them sat there and waited to be caught(well I'm not catching them for him)

Then this dude dressed in this all red suit and hood and all walks up saying "You dare interfere with team (Dr. Evil again) Liquid hot Mag-Ma?"

"Dude, no" I said "Cool suit though I like the co--"

"Poochyena, Howl" he interrupted

"Was that really necessary?" I responded after the idiot howled

"Poochyena, Howl louder!" He said disregarding my remark

"I thought you were supposed to rename your pokemon in Nuzlockes!" I yelled over his howling that seemed to join in with Poochyenas

"Poochyena Howl LOUDER!" He yelled

"Oh Em Gee! ESS TEE EFF YOU!! -- Hothead ember!" I yelled in irritation (I was growling the entire time ;D)

"Poochyena! NOOOO--" he began to yell

"If you continue yelling you're next" I Bickered

He sat down and cried silently

I continued with the stupid Douche who couldn't find a shroomish yelling in awe of my annoyance

I entered Roxannes Gym with fire in my eyes when suddenly a crash Blew into the gym..

Roxanne closed the gym on spot and Hothead got a little angry (just enough to send him into a violent rage)

Hot head chared at her pokemon with rage and beat them to a pulp..

She respectively placed a small little pin on his torso..

"Why a pin?" I asked

"Oh, because Hoenn is all out of badges" she replied with a huge cheesy smile

"Whatever" I responded

The Douche came around the corner and yelled at me to chase that liqud magma dude..

"Catch him yourself" I said as I walked away.. (no point in telling that side of the story)

I then saw may who, being the Tomboy she is, Tackled me to the ground. I then grabbed her by her arms and pinned her down and commanded Hothead to destroy Treecko to end her aggressive ways.

Treecko bowed down to Hothead.

"HaHa! Nice try but Treecko's no matter how ground up.. can't die!" She mocked

"Darn you crappy Hacker!!!!" I yelled at the sky

"Who are you yelling at?" The pinned down may asked

"Why did you tackle me?" I responded

"Hey go catch that boat guy he can tell you"

"What that doesn't anser my-- Figures" I started but ended when she called officer jenny to pry me off of her

I ran..

Found the boat guy who just said.. YOHoYoHOYOho.. I then exclaimed it was an insult to call me that..

He felt sorry and shipped me to this random beach who had people talking about "BUSY MACHINE"

I then told them that I CHOOSE YOU RALTS was all the "RAVE"

I beat up brawly with an angered level 29 Hothead(still charmander)

Boat guy then took me to another random beach Where Hothead beat up everyone for a 6-pack of Grape soda..

He then levelled to level 31 to gain Flamethrower as an option in his arsenal..

He Evolved into a small dinosaur looking thing with a point on his head..

Ipicked up a pretty silver bell and gave it to Hothead who played with it joyfully on the beach..(by what you've read.. would you be able to tell he has a timid nature?) Lol


I know it was a long update..

Update end

 

[Zeko]

My first update!

Okay, I'mma do this on my Acekard version of Japanese White!
I'll put it in spoilers so as not to ruin the game for some of you people.
The rules I'm using are as follows:
1. Only catch one Pokemon per area.
2. If a Pokemon faints, release it. It's dead.
I'mma start right... Now!

Spoiler:

2/3/11 - Journal Entry 1
My name is Joey. Mom took me to see the Professor today. The Professor told me about the world of Pokemon and what I was signing up for. She showed me a Mincinno. It was cute.
Then she came over to our house and gave me a gift. I had to wait for Cheren and Bianca to open it though. When Bianca arrived late as usual, Cheren got on her case about being late.
Finally I opened the box. There were three Pokemon inside! Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott... Which one should I choose? I decided to go with the Snivy. Bianca wanted to battle me, and she had the Oshawott. She was a piece of cake, really. A few tackles and that was all. When the battle was over, my room was a mess! There were footprints all over the walls, and papers were thrown everywhere.
Then Cheren chuckled, "Bianca, you need to practice. Let me show you what a real battle is like." So he healed my Pokemon and we battled. I won. Against his Tepig. With my Snivy. My Snivy was so good, I decided to call him Ninja. It was love at first sight.
When I stepped downstairs, Mom handed me a Live Caster. It's awesome. I was videochatting with Maddie the whole day. When I got bored, I headed over to Bianca's to see what's up. I stepped into the fight between her and her father. "But I want to be a Pokemon Trainer!" Bianca sighed.
Her father looked at her with disgust. "No, you cannot! It is too dangerous!"
I then asked if I was interrupting, then headed to the Professor's. Cheren and Bianca were there too. She gave us each a Pokedex and Pokeballs. Then she told us about our responsibilities and what it meant to be a Pokemon Trainer.
Finally, after three hours of Bullcrap from Professor Juniper, we stepped outside. Ah, fresh air. I let Ninja out of his Pokeball. He seemed to enjoy it. Then Mom stopped by. She gave me a Region Map of Unova. Useful... Thanks!
Next, we headed onto Route 1, where Professor Juniper was waiting, to show us how to catch a Pokemon. I remember one time my Dad showed me how... I forgot. She used her famous Mincinno to capture this thing called a Patrat. It seemed cool, so I gave it a try! I walked around in Tall Grass to find a wild Lillipup staring at my face. It looked cool, so I tried to catch it. Attack first, right? I used Tackle right away, then threw the ball. It shook once, twice, thrice! I had caught the Pokemon! I decided to call him Puppy. At one point, Ninja learned how to use a new attack called Vine Whip. It was cool.
When I reached Karakusa Town, Professor Juniper, of course, was waiting for me in front of the Pokemon Center. She and Bianca showed me around... The usual. I bought some Potions, just in case something happens.
I stepped out of the Pokemon Center to see some kind of strike going on. People in weird outfits were holding flags with the letter P on it. I didn't think much of it, because I just returned to Route 1 to train Puppy. He needed some serious grinding! That was when I discovered Puppy's Tackle attack. Actually, that was when I discovered Critical Hits ^^.
When I headed back up to Karakusa Town, I saw a large crowd form around the strange people. That included Cheren. So I went to see what the big ruckus was about, and I saw this man. Geechisu. He talked about his plans to rule the world, and to free Pokemon from the slavery known as trainers. I was shocked. Finally, when he collected and left, the town was already bare naked. I talked to this man... N. I discovered something I probably shouldn't have. He got angry and panicked. He sent out his Purrloin. I laughed and sent out my Puppy. Switched after the first three attacks to Ninja, who just touched the Purrloin and it fainted. I give credit to Puppy to knocking it's HP to the red zone.
When I defeated N, he angrily stormed off to Route 2, cussing under every breath.
Then I took out my journal wrote this whole thing up, and... See you next time!

[Sammuthegreat]

I don't even release Pokemon. I just put the dead ones in a special box, just for updates and memories.

I've always felt like releasing something was a bit of a waste when you could just store it in a box and transfer it later on.

Well, yeah. So do I if they die at a high level. Releasing them and putting them in the PC and never using them again are the same thing from a practical standpoint.

[SeventySeven]

My Nuzlocke Challenge has been completed. I think I'm going to try it on the ShinyGold Hack next.

Update 3

Spoiler:

Trained the whole team to lv 55 and then took on Giovanni and Gary. Both matches went fine, though I felt uncomfertable with Gary's.

Caught a psyduck on Route 23.

Time to take on Victory Road.

Made it to the Indigo Plateau.

However, want to train everyone to lv 65 before I take on the Elite 4.

Taught Jamine Double Team and Ice Beam. Went to take on the Elite Four

For Lorelei, Joe was the perfect choice. His thick fat abillity protected him from the ice types, so I used belly drum, rest, snore, and body slam to victory.

Bruno was more of a mixed effort. Jamine, Milicent, Zephyr, and Yamaki all took turns fighting pokemon.

For Agatha, Yamaki took the lead with his high special defense protecting from the ghost attacks, and psychicing anything that got in his way.

For lace, Jamine stole the show. Began with Double Teaming against Lance's gyrados, and from there, nothing could stop her ice beam.

The final battle was against Gary. I started off with Snowball against his Pidgeot, but eventually he switched it out for his Rhydon. I in turn brought in Milicent who Pedal Danced him into oblivion. That didn't work as well however as he was still stuck in petal dance when Gary brought in Alakazam. One psychic later and Milicent was gone. T_T But I was still feeling the adrenaline. Can't stop now. Brought in Zephyr who took out Alakazam and then Exeggutor. He switched in Pidgeot again and I brought Snowball back. She was featherdanced again, but this time she was enough to take out the pidgeot. The gyrados came out and I decided to press my advantage with snowball, sure she would survive whatever hit the gyrados could give her. I was wrong. She was hydropumped into oblvion, and I'd just lost another pokemon (was really starting to feel it now). Needed a pokemon with strong defense, so out came Yamaki who finished off the gyrados. Now Gary sent out his final pokemon, charizard. I switched out Yamaki and Jamine barely survived a fire blast. Looking at my remaining options, and remembered the strategy I'd used with Lorelei. Joe came back out, and with a little patience, the battle was won.

The Elite Four is now finished. I will not be able to continue onward because I can't catch (or evolve) 20 more pokemon to fulfill the requirements to receive the national pokedex, however, the challenge has been completed anyway by defeating the Elite Four. I enjoyed this immensely, and most likely will do it again in the future.

I would like to give one final remembrance to the pokemon who were lost along the way: Snowball the golem, Milicent the vileplume, Swift the horsea, 99 the jigglypuff, King the arbok, Mickie the meowth, Saurian the ivysaur, Cali the kadabra, and Yamaha the mankey. Rest in peace, guys. We did it.

And because life is ultimately about the living, a big thanks to my final team as it now stands.

Yamaki (M) lv 66

Joe (M) lv 65

[Hawkfire-the-cat]

OMG a pokemon of mie survived a critical hit self-destruct!!!
That. Is. AWESOME. (It doesn't even have a brilliant defense stat or anything O_o)

Here's chapter eight, hopefully making up for the lasts ones downer ending.

CHAPTER EIGHT

Spoiler:

The three remaining companions walked to the bike store. They were unusually quiet, no one felt like talking after Soundtrack's funeral. Unfortunately though, Shame saw Cynthia hovering outside, ready to prey on all that is sacred and cynical.
'Oh great. Just what we need.'
'Oh good morning Shame!'
'I should really get over the fact everyone psychically knows my name already.'
'Here you go, have this!' Cynthia handed her an egg.
'So basically you're giving me a baby to raise as a soldier and eventually die in a blaze of blood? Great love-advocate you are.'
'This egg hatches around pure people only. I thought it be great for filling your pokedex!'
'By this point I have completely forgotten about it.'
'Have a great day! I hope to see you again, and may the power of love-'
'Get. Out. Now.'
She finally walked off, leaving the odd egg with Shame.
"Great", Wonder began to moan, "We now have an egg which we can't hatch, which also has the liberty of taking up a space in the team. I hope she's a gym leader; I can't wait to bash her mons up! Probably doing them a favour."
'Not quite true Wonder... We can hatch it, isn't that right, Bad?'
"S-Shame..?"
She smiled, 'pure, innocent, nice, won't complain if we strap an egg to her. Wonder, get the duct tape.'
'Alright boss.'

.....​

'WE HAVE WALKED AROUND FOR THREE BLOODY HOURS AND IT HASN'T HATCHED YET.'
The egg started to crack.
'Finally.'
The shell burst open, revealing a togepi.
'Togepi eh...' they evolve into a normal/flying Pokémon, just like Soundtrack. It's a girl, too. I'll call her... Something-track. I know! I'll put on my iPod, and whatever song comes on I'll put the first word at the front!
Shame put her earphones in and pressed the play button.
'Damn you're a sexy b*tch, a sexy b*tch...'
'OH COME ON. I suppose that means... Sexytrack.'
Shame and Wonder burst out laughing, while Bad looked confused.
"Sexytrack I see..." she mused, "I see you have some very immature traits... NOW COWER BEFORE MY EGO!!"
'... What?! Bad, how many things did you bump into?'
"I-I..."
"AHAHAHAHA!! Really, you think that mere creature can damage my ego?!'
"I-I'm not a mere creature!" Bad started glowing, leaving a gastrodon where she stood.
"Impressive, mere creature... But not as impressive as this!!" a starly flew by. Sexytrack wiggled her fingers, "Now watch the power of my ego!! JUDGEMENT!!!"
'WHAT.'
And Sexytrack unleash divine judgement on the starly, and stuff got really blown up.
'Bad, what sort of monstrosity have you created?!'
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please, forgive me!"
Shame shrugged, 'At least I don't have to bother brain-washing it, she's crazy enough all ready.'
Shame studied her move pool, 'charm... Growl... Metronome... TM time!'
She sorted through her bag, 'Return... That's normal type I suppose... Welcome to the team, Sexytrack, and now let's grind!'

.....​

10 minutes of grinding Sexytrack proved one thing. Roar of time and areoblast are an epic combination, and soon a cocky, egotistic, narcissistic, and thoroughly bad@ss togetic was the third member.
'Still, three Pokémon... And the next gyms ghost type, you and Wonder are gonna be useless...'
"Are you calling my ego useless?"
"But the gym leaders French! She can't be difficult to win against!"
"Y-you mean... I'm gonna have to solo it?" Bad looked close to crying.
'No way, that would be suicidal. If we don't lose anymore companions, a grass and an ice type would be a good member... But not a budew. Those are to annoying. On wards we continue!'
After a quick cycle down cycling road (... That name sucks), and a field trip of trainer dodging into Mount Coronet, another idea occurred to Shame.
'We could get a bronzong!'
"Didn't you say they were one of the ugliest abominations your ego has ever seen?"
'Well, yeah, but psychic steel with an ability which cancels out a weakness is just awesome.'
So naturally they bumped into a meditite which Sexytrack gleefully murdered with the power of love. At that point though, Shame noticed someone in the cave. He had blue hair, but it was forgiven because it was spiky. Just.
'This world is rotten...'
'Save me the lecture and gimme something.'
'The human spirit...'
'Oh screw this, I'm going to Hearthome!'

.....​

A Pokémon slipped through the dark streets. It heard a cry of annoyance and recognized her voice. It started to run, bolting through the litter-stained road. He would find justice, and he would find it soon. He saw the exit of the city and bolted towards it, but a person suddenly emerged from it and he crashed into her. She looked like a child, but had a dark aura around her. She was wearing a scarf and a coat-thing, but what stood out the most were her eyes. Her bitter, cruel, whimsical eyes.
'Well hello there...' she smiled and took out a pokeball.

Please forgive me for her nickname, its one of the rules...

 

[649]

Just started a Pokemon Brown Nuzlocke. Don't know if I'm going to follow through with it. I tend to be bad at Nuzlockes...

Anyways.

Got a Bulbasaur, named Palm. Gravel City check.
Got a Diglett, named Whacka. Merson Cave check.
Had several close calls in Merson Cave, so I'm going to grind to lv 10 before moving on.
