Light, Shadow, and Legend: A Pokemon Ruby Nuzlocke

[RagingKrikkit]

Hi, all! So, following up on the smashing sucess (koff koff) of my Fire Emblem Let's Play (which is not dead, I just need to get off my lazy butt and get playing again EDIT: Yep it's dead), I am doing a nuzlocke of one of the GBA Pokemon games that has not yet had a full nuzlocke done for it on this site: Pokemon Ruby! Note that this will take place outside of what I call the "Illvenverse", although some themes of the world may come from it. (EDIT: That is to say, when I started this, is was a shameless rip-off, but I've finally begun to break free of that) And without further ado, I give you: Light, Shadow, and Legend!

Rules:
A Pokemon that faints is rendered dead and may not be used again.
The first non-repeat Pokemon on any route must be caught.
All Pokemon must be named (duh).
Only one of each item may be bought from each store.
All plot-central battles (gyms, rival, etc) must be met with an equal number of Pokemon as the "boss".

This is my story.

A story of life.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-3.png

A story of death.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-4.png

A story of joy.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-5.png

A story of sorrow.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-6.png

A story...

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-7.png

...of Pokemon.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-8.png

My name's Michael.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-9.png

I'm just like any other teenager in the world of Pokemon.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-10.png

Well, maybe not...

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-11.png

but that's alright with me.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-12.png

You know the whole deal about Pokemon. Gotta catch 'em all and all that.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-13.png

Training...

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-14.png

...battling...

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-15.png

...it can get rough sometimes.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-16.png

But we're a team.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-17.png

We pull together...

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-18.png

...And we make it count.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-19.png

And that's why we made it as far as we did.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-20.png

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-21.png

Let me start from the beginning...

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-22.png

Was I waiting for you?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-23.png

I've been here. For eighteen years...

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-24.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-25.png

Oh my gosh, I'm talking to Professor Birch?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-26.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-27.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-28.png

I know what a Pokemon is.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-29.png

Yes, I know.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-30.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-31.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-32.png

*sigh* *This is not going how I thought a chat with Professer Birch would go*

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-36.png

Yes, I think we knew that.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-37.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-38.png

I don't exactly have the chest to be a girl, do I?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-39.png

I'm Michael.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-40.png

*sigh* Yes.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-41.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-42.png

Yep, goobye, Sinnoh, hello, Hoenn.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-44.png

I don't have much of a choice, do I?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-45.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-46.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-47.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-48.png

And then I woke up with a migrane.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-49.png

Ohh, my head... Where am I?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-50.png

Oh, right. The moving van.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-51.png

Woah! Steady up there!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-52.png

Wait, we stopped. We there yet?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-53.png

The van door slid open. I guess so.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-54.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-55.png

I hopped out of the van, and my feet hit the soil of Hoenn for the first time. The air was clear and still, warmed by the sun overhead. Jubilife and its smog could go jump off a bridge. This was where one could live.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-56.png

Then the door to the house opened, and Mom walked out.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-57.png

Mom, please stop calling me that.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-58.png

No, just painful.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-59.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-60.png

Well, I miss the guys back in Jubilife, but this is great.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-61.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-62.png

I've always had my own room.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-63.png

The floor looks a bit... unfinished.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-64.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-70.png

Not bad.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-73.png

Mom, are you really going to start barging into my room on the day we move in?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-74.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-75.png

Yeeaaahhhh, don't expect it to stay that way.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-76.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-77.png

You already said that.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-81.png

What the hell is this? Did I write that? What does that mean?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-83.png

Let's see if anybody from back home sent me anything.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-84.png

Arceus dammit.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-86.png

Well, nothing to do here.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-87.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-88.png

What now?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-89.png

The whole reason we had moved was because Dad had been offered a gym leader position. The only problem was that we had to move halfway across the country in the process.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-95.png

Okay, fine. Treat me like a twelve-year-old.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-96.png

[i]It was a quiet town. A good town. I won't complain about it.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-97.png

Yep, this is the place.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-98.png

Maybe just barging in wasn't the best idea...

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-99.png

Then again... Hi, I'm Michael, you new next-door neighbor.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-100.png

That's what I just said...:smallannoyed:

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-101.png

And that's the first thing you tell me?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-102.png

You're starting to sound like you're trying to get her hooked up.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-103.png

And you never call her by name?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-104.png

Uhh... hello?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-107.png

Our eyes met, and sudenly I got an adrenaline rush. She was only a little shorter than me, dressed in shorts and a t-shirt. Her brown hair was just short of shoulder-length, and a few bangs hunng in front of her eye. I, uh, I'm Michael, you new neighbor.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-108.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-109.png

Good to, uh, meet you, too.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-110.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-111.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-112.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-113.png

Uh... define "friend".

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-114.png

You know, this is starting to get akward.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-115.png

That crooked smile almost knocked me off my feet.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-116.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-117.png

Good save.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-118.png

See you.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-119.png

And then she just took off. I had a sudden urge to raid her drawer, but decided against it. I didn't need that kind of trouble on day one.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-120.png

So I said goodbye to Mrs. Birch, and set out for the professor's lab. Maybe he'd be there.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-121.png

Yep, that's it. I walked in and asked a man in a white coat about Professor Birch.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-122.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-123.png

Wonderfull.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-124.png

Guess I'll just go look for him myself.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-125.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-126.png

Sure, leave it to Michael.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-127.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-128.png

I rushed up the path to find a man being chased by a Poochyena. I'd never seen one before, but I knew that they could be nasty suckers when they got mad, and that one looked plenty pissed.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-129.png

[i]The Poochyena tripped him, and lunged at his face. He caught it by the neck, and desperately held it back as its jaws snapped open and shut inches from his face.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-130.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH1/RN1-131.png

I rushed to the bag, pulled the zipper open, and a trio of Pokeballs fell out...

So, that's it for Chapter 1! Yay, cliffhangers! Anyway, thread is now open for all to suggest names and personalities of the starter. Or, you can vote to let me run with the idea in my head...

[RagingKrikkit]

Reserved for future use.

[Xondoure]

Go with what feels good to you, this is your starter, we can all fight over personalities for the rest.

[Illven]

Oh yeah just take your time :smalltongue: Not like Professor Birch is fighting for his life or anything.


I vote for Mudkip. Because in Ruby is really is the best starter. You get an edge over Team Magma.

You can think of your personality for it. But it's name must be Kippers.

[RagingKrikkit]

Oh yeah just take your time :smalltongue: Not like Professor Birch is fighting for his life or anything.

One word: Teenager.

On the starters, Mudkip is the most well-rounded, but has also been done. Torchic has the best attack, but that fails to grab STAB/SATB/whatever bonuses until it evolves (as this is pre-physical/special split, and Water, Grass, and Fire just go under the blanket coverage of Sp. Atk.) Treecko has the best Sp. Atk. and the best Speed, but at the cost of HP and the defensive stats, making it the most offensive of the three.

So you're sleeping while Birch is being attacked :smalltongue:

I know it has been done. I was there! But if you don't want to do Mudkip, go Torchic. Name it KFC and obsessed with how it is tasty, and made with secret spices.

[RagingKrikkit]

So I will probably get moving later today, but in the meantime, let me state what I'm shooting for. I'm not after a straight comdey (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NPzLBSBzPI&feature=related), and going more for a drama/comedy hybrid, sometimes referred to as "dramedy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbuaDpgaWPY&feature=related)".

[RagingKrikkit]

Alright, chapter 2! Illven, please note that the name KFC is reserved for a Rattata (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su0U37w2tws).

Note: New rule added: For all major battles (rivals, gyms, etc) I must take a number of Pokemon equal to the opponent. The one exception to this will be the Elite Four, which I may take six into, so that I may face the champion with six (assuming no deaths.)

Note 2: I will probably be making a lot of references to Movies, TV, Video Games, Books, Politics and the Illvenverse through this Nuzlocke. I will list the number and type of references before the chapter. Please place answers in spoiler tags so that others may still play.

Chapter 2: Unlikely Companions
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-1.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-2.png

I grabbed the ball closest to me and opened it. There was the usual burst of light, and standing there was a Pokemon I had never seen before. It was short,, green, and had yellow eyes that screamed of a self-image of total badassery. There was a twig in its mouth, and it spoke in a voice that made me wonder if it used gravel for mouthwash.

Who the hell are you? And where’s Birch?

I’m the guy who’s trying to save Birch, who happens to be about to get gutted!

Birch: Heeeeeelllllp!

Alright, I’ll handle this.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-3.png

It lunged straight at the Poocheyna, blindsiding it and driving its elbow into the wild Pokemon’s flank. It yelped in pain and surprise, then turned back and slammed itself into the little green guy, who held his ground magnificently. Hit him again!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-4.png

It did so, and I heard a rib breaking. The wild Pokemon was is obvious pain, but attacked again, sinking its teeth into the green one’s arm. This time he cried out. C’mon, finish it!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-5.png

It brought its other arm up in a brutal punch that slammed into the Poochyena’s lower jaw. There was a vicious-sounding “crack!” and it collapsed.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-6.png

Alright, good job!

Not like you did anything.

Then Birch got up.

You’re welcome, Professor.

He saved you?

Yes, thank you too, Azgard.

What kind of a name is Azgard?

A badass one.

No, sir.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-16.png

I didn’t really do anything…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-17.png

Wait, was somebody thinking I didn’t?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-18.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-19.png

R-really? Thank you, Professor!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-20.png

No, really, you’re making me go with this kid? Birch, he’s gonna get me killed! And I don't need that in my life!

Give him some time, he’ll learn.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-24.png

Uh, okay, I guess.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-25.png

This is starting to sound weird again…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-26.png

Yes, sir.

Arceus knows you’re gonna need it…

One more thing, though. Due to a manufacturing shortage, there is a federal ban on purchasing more than one of each item from any Pokemart.

What?

And the department of Fish and Game has banned the catching of more than one Pokemon on each route, and of more than one of each kind of Pokemon.

WHAT???

I know, it plays hell with my research schedule.

Ah, whatever, guess I got to do this the hard way.

But first, I decided to stop by home and tell Mom the good news.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-27.png

Mom! Look! Prof. Birch gave me a Pokemon!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-28.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-29.png

That’s a bit less enthusiasm then I was hoping for...

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-30.png

Today, I am a trainer.

Let’s hope it isn’t your last. For my sake.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-31.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-32.png

Yeah, that’s kind of Pokemon 101.

I thought that was “Open the menu with START!”

How did you find out about that?:smalleek:

Remember that nap your mom insisted you take? I wasn’t tired, so I figured I’d get to know my new trainer.

Or just learn things you can torment me with later?

That too.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-33.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-34.png

More basics…

We were almost to Odale when we were ambushed by another Poochyena.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-35.png

Get it, Azgard!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-36.png

Waaaay ahead of ya.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-37.png

We made it to Odale with no further problems. It was a cozy little place. Not quite as small as Littleroot, but just big enough to get the feel of a town, as opposed to a woodland village or something.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-38.png

That’s nice.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-39.png

Okay, whatever.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-51.png

And there she was, writing in a notebook. Once again, I had that rush of adrenaline. Why would it not go away?!

Yeah, this is Azgard.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-55.png

Really?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-56.png

I have a bad feeling about this…

See? That’s why I didn’t want in on this deal!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-57.png

Here we go…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-58.png

Alright, Flambert, it’s all you!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-59.png

Let’s do this, Azgard!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-60.png

Azgard slammed its opponent upside the head with its tail, but it recovered and came back at him, slashing its claws into his chest. Come on! Keep fighting!

What does it look like I’m doing?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-61.png

Another trading of blows later, both were beginning to look tired. Azgard was bleeding from the gashes in his chest, and Flambert appeared to be sporting a dislocated wing.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-62.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/Rn2-63.png

They were both dead tired by now, but Azgard looked like he had just enough juice left for a finishing blow. Come on, Azgard, let's end this!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-64.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-65.png

Azgard smashed his elbow into the poor critter’s beak, and it crumpled in a heap.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH2/RN2-66.png

Shut. Up.

Yeah, go get ‘em, honey bunny!

ALL OF MY HATE!!!:smallfurious:

Characters that speak in this update:
Michael
Azgard

Pokemon available on routes 101-103: Zigzagoon, Wurmple, Poochyena, Wingull (on Route 103, might want to save that route for a later time), Seedot, Ralts, and Surskit. You may suggest names and personalities at will. I should get bios on the first page tomorrow, or today, if I feel really motivated.

[Illven]

Illvenverse reference. All of my hate! :smallfurious:


Is it fair if I guess those references :smalltongue:



Zigzagoon Artemis (m)/Lidda (f) Hates any implications that Zigzagoons are thieves. Even though it is a thief.

Wurmple William Just wants to chill and eat leaves. Will complain if you get over-bearing or ask it to do anything.

Poochyena (Do you want a cameo from one of Sisus's children?)

Wingull Petey Was on a fire fighting squad. Was fired for trying to kill fire pokemon. Shouts out Fire bad! Fire bad!

Seedot John Locke. Shouts out about the glory of the Nuzlocke.

Ralts Alex (Either gender if female it's short for Alexandria) A total pervert (As much as you feel comfortable writing) Will ship members of the team, and will state that Matthew wants to hook up with May.

Surskit Mister hop. A water bug that continually complains that when away from water.

[RagingKrikkit]

Well, the reference was pretty obvious...

[RagingKrikkit]

Alright, moving again. When I get more interest, I will start putting more delays between updates to allow for more voting.

[RagingKrikkit]

And here we go again, with chapter 3!


Chapter 2's Refferences:
Movies: The lines "I've got a bad feeling about this" and "Nooooooo!" come from the Star Wars saga. Although I admit that "Nooooooo!" is just about everywhere...

Illvenverse: ALL OF MY HATE!!!:smallfurious: (Seriously, if you didn't get this, go read Illven's stuff now.

Chapter 3: Creatures of the Team, Assemble!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-1.png

With nothing but two potions, five Pokeballs, 3300 in cash, and the clothes on my back, I set off on my new adventure. But first I had to get started on the Pokedex. Treecko the jerk Pokemon. Treecko seem to think that they have badass names, and that this entitles them to be absolute pricks.

You haven’t seen me even begin getting prickish.

I shudder at the thought.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-2.png

It didn’t take long before we were jumped.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-3.png

Hey, man, you got any leaves on ya?

Uhhh, no.

Aw, that’s a bummer. There’s some leaves over there, but I don’t wanna get up from my cozy spot here.

Ooookay…

What about mushrooms? Mushrooms are good, too.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-4.png

Yeah, you’re coming with me before some Tailow grabs you for an easy meal.

Easy meals? I like those.

So what’s your name?

William. William D. Wurmple.

Welcome to the team, William. Wurmple the lazy Pokemon. Wurmple seem to hate moving and desire only a life of leisure.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-5.png

And who are you?

I’m Lidda! Have you seen anything shiny around?

Did you loose something?

No, but somebody else probably did.

So you’re a thief.

NO! I’m a finder! Which makes me a keeper! I’m not a thief!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-6.png

Then I hope you don’t mind if you come with me.

No!!! Not the ball!!!

Zigzagoon the finder Pokemon. Zigzagoon insist that finding and keeping items is not stealing.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-7.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-8.png

I have a sudden urge to mock you.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-10.png

Alright, then, bring it!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-12.png

Azgard was doing something new with his punches. Now the blows seemed to be refreshing him as he fought. Azgard what is that?

It’s an ability I have. I can drain energy from my foes and heal myself with it.

Cool.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-13.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-14.png

By the time Lidda defeated the Wurmple, she looked like an oversized cocoon from all the string the Wurmple had sprayed over her.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-18.png

I am getting stronger, my finding skills will be unmatched!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-19.png

Ha! My strength grows more by the minute!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-20.png

That doesn’t mean that this’ll be easy for you.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-21.png

Lidda curbstomped him.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-22.png

I warned you.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-23.png

Keep at it.

Ha! None can match my finding skills!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-27.png

Who’s your daddy?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-28.png

I like this! I’m getting stronger just by sitting back and watching!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-29.png

Thanks for the help.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-30.png

Hey, Lidda, what’s that?

Nothing! What that? I don’t have anything!

Give it here.

No, please!

*Sigh* Well, if it’s that important to you.

Yay!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-31.png

Hi, what’s your name?

I’m Jane Locke, philosopher and historian. I travel the world learning how it works, and then try to figure out why it works that way. Then I write papers on it, and become famous. How do you like this; “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Pokemon are created equal, that they are endowed by Arceus with certain inalienable rights--”

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-32.png

Well, we’re traveling, join the team.

Ah, the kindness of strangers. My heart is warmed.

Seedot the philosopher Pokemon. Seedot travel the world seeking to explain how the world works.

Petalburg City, home of dad’s gym. Time to see how well I match up against the master.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-34.png

I snuck up behind Lidda. Give!

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-35.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-36.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-37.png

Sinnoh, actually.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-38.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-40.png

That sounds about right. He only took a job on the other side of the country over Pokemon.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-45.png

I saw eagerness in my eyes, mixed with a bit of nervousness and maybe a touch of anxiety. I guess it was the look of a new Pokemon trainer.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-46.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-47.png

Here we go…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-48.png

Hey, dad.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-49.png

Yep.


http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-50.png

Well, I wasn’t completely on my own. I let out my four Pokemon

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-51.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-52.png

That I am.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH3/RN3-53.png

Then the gym doors opened. The kid who walked in was two or three years younger than me, blond, and his stance and movements reeked of trepidation.

Deal.

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Michael
Azgard
William
Lidda
Jane Locke

Comming up, I can catch Wingull, Tailow, Shroomish, Silkoon, Caskoon, Slakoth, Poochyena, Whismur, Nincada, and Skitty. Name and personality suggestions are welcome. C'mon, do you want Illven running the whole show?

[XiaoTie]

Huzzah, a good Nuzlocke run!

Keep 'em coming!

Maybe a Slakoth named Ted(ious) who really wants to be active but constantly procrastinates, or a Shroomish who is entirely and quite actively against drugs (think after school specials and PSAs) but is often high on himself MUSHROOM IS A HELLUVA DRUG.

[RagingKrikkit]

Well, the Shroomish would make a good buddy for William (If you didn't catch, I was going for hippie with him.)

[XiaoTie]

Whoah man, that just like blew my mind duuuude. :smallcool:

How about a Tailow that hates all Pidgey, but is an all around nice guy. He is just paranoid about them and just hates them because he thinks they are posers/agents of a higher power or somesuch.

[Illven]

Hey like me running the show would be a bad thing :smalltongue:

Cascoon Irvin Wants revenge on you for catching it.

Nincada. Victor Never understands the differences between your culture and Nincada culture, always asks if you want it to shed your skin.

Poochyena (Do you want a cameo from one of Sisus's children?) Or Savage. A rabies infested hound that savages whatever it gets it's jaws around.

Shroomish Fungi. All...glory...to...the...shrooms...

Silcoon Bob Thinks all it's good for is producing silk.

Skitty John/Medea. Looking for it's Wailord mate. Uses mind control on anyone of the opposite gender then satisfies it's sadistic impulses on them.

Tailow Hawky. Likes to make prey suffer as it eats it.

Whimsur Shout. Fought in the bear wars, but is now facing a comfy retirement, until you catch it.

Wingull. Earlier suggestion Petey Was on a fire fighting squad. Was fired for trying to kill fire pokemon. Shouts out Fire bad! Fire bad!

[RagingKrikkit]

Well, I think that filled my Illvenverse reference quota for the next 15 chapters...

[Illven]

Well, I think that filled my Illvenverse reference quota for the next 15 chapters...

And I'll get all the reference points. :smallamused:

[Xondoure]

Shroomish: Mr. Spore. A gentleman obsessed with proper etiquette such as always planting yourself in shady spots, and only infesting enemies that have not played by the rules (such as dark types.)

Cascoon: Moth Man. Believes he was bitten by a radioactive moth and is being transformed into a super hero.

Silcoon: Silk 942. An escaped silk producer. Doesn't have much sense of identity, only horrible memories it fervently keeps locked up.

Poochyena: Orville. Dreams of flight.

Tailow: Skimmer. Wishes it was a fish.

Skitty: Skitscat. Wants to be a jazz singer. scats half the things it says.

Slakoth: Toes. Counts the number of toes different creatures have.

Nincada: Blackstar. Is a very stealthy ninja... who shouts at all of his opponents before attacking them and has names for all of its attacks (black star combo strike!)

Wismur: Mumbles. Says everything passive aggressively under its breath.

Wingull: Jay Jay. Is convinced it is a jet plane.

[RagingKrikkit]

Nincada: Blackstar. Is a very stealthy ninja... who shouts at all of his opponents before attacking them and has names for all of its attacks (black star combo strike!)

SMITE EVIL!!!

[AtlanteanTroll]

Lidda's font is kind of hard to read...

[RagingKrikkit]

It's better than my original idea...

Can you read this? I thought not.

[Penguinator]

Wingull, Sky, a hydrophobe who gets scared around water. Even worse when it begins spitting it to attack.
Taillow, Blackhawk, a scout for a secret organization, it ends all of its sentences with "over."
Shroomish, go with Xondoure's Mr. Spore.
Slakoth, Boxer, hates the implication that all Slakoth are lazy. Can't wait to be a Vigoroth, and doesn't realize that Slaking is in its future.
Poochyena, Kaz, a foreigner who got lost migrating, he speaks in an odd tongue, and very scarce English.
Whismur, go with Xondoure's Mumbles.
Nincada, go with Xondoure's Blackstar.
Skitty, Button, the little kid of the team, kind of like a mascot. The others ruin its innocence gradually.

[IrnBruAddict]

Nincada: Blackstar. Is a very stealthy ninja... who shouts at all of his opponents before attacking them and has names for all of its attacks (black star combo strike!)

And when it evolves he gets a polite Shedinja called Tsubaki:smallwink:

[RagingKrikkit]

Next chapter played, now to just get it up. That will be tonight or tomorrow.

[RagingKrikkit]

And on with the story! Lidda's dialouge color has changed to something more readable, and I managed to merge two ideas into one character! This only covers about half of my last poll, which was intended to carry through Rusdurf Tunnel and Roxanne's Gym, so no new voting for Pokemon. Ah, who am I kidding, voting can continue for those I have not yet caught.

Next up was Route 104. I was going to do some serious pounding on four gyms, and face my dad.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-2.png

Okay, and that has what to do with Pokemon?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-3.png

Never mind, I guess we’ll just fight then…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-4.png

That would be totally rad if I actually wanted to fight.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-5.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-6.png

Hello? Guess nobody’s home.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-7.png

Which means I get lots of money when I win?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-8.png

Because money isn’t everything?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-9.png

Hi, who are you?

Ahm Peety, veteran firefighter extraordinaire!

Ah, so you put out fires.

FIRE BAD! FIRE BAD!

And maybe a bit of PTSD for flavor… How would you like to join the team?

Oh, that’d be great!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-10.png

Welcome to the team, Petey. Wingull the firefighter Pokemon. Wingull are veteran firefighters that suffer from PTSD.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-11.png

Oh, hey, who are you?

I am Mister Spore, dear chap! And might I say, t’s a stunning day isn’t it?

All…glory…to…the…shrooms…

Oh, please forgive me. Sir, I seem to have a slight fever today.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-12.png

That’s alright. Welcome aboard.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-13.png

Where did you get that?

Well, I… uh… It’s a funny story actually…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-14.png

Whoo! Wish I had some chips so I could enjoy this properly!

William, will you grow up?

But I like freeloading!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-15.png

I’ll prove it!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-16.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-17.png

Ha! Now you’ll have to carry me everywhere!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-18.png

*sigh*

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-19.png

My stance on this issue will not waver!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-20.png

Really, Lidda?

It was just sitting there, it was so shiny!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-21.png

Oh what I wouldn’t give for some chips.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-22.png

What? No! Don’t let me be not lazy!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-23.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-24.png

Aw, crap.

William, I didn’t know you were a girl.

Shut up! It’s bad enough that he’s going to make me work for a living now!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-25.png

Wait, maybe there is hope!

Oh, joy.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-26.png

Thank you for the meal, kind madam.

Her…essence…is…ours…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-27.png

Thank you, sir. That was most refreshing.

The…shrooms…grow…strong…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-28.png

And what on earth am I to do with such a beastly move as this?

Spread…the…shrooms…

Why should I do that?

Because…we…control…

What’s that you’re doing with your voice?

Huh? Oh, nothing, sir. I have a cold and it makes my voice sound strange sometimes.

Okay, that’s an obvious lie, but I’m not going to push it right now.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-29.png

Holy cow, Lidda! What did you do, rob a bank?!

Mine! Mine!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-30.png

Can we please get back on the road now?

Yeah, I guess so.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-31.png

Hello?

Please, help me!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-32.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-33.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-34.png

You do know that ambushes require patience, right?

Shut up!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-35.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-36.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-37.png

He ducked behind me, terrified.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-38.png

Not getting much of a choice here, am I?

Welcome to life, every time you try to do something your own way, God or Fate or the Great Pumpkin is going to get in your way.

Not helping.

You’re welcome.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-39.png

I guess I am.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-40.png

Kid? I’m a legal adult!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-41.png

Bring it!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-42.png

I’ll teach you the meaning of fear!

Fear: a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-43.png

Get him!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-44.png

Petey, you’re up!

On it, chief!

Petey, water gun!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-45.png

Tackle it!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-46.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-47.png

Let’s end this, water gun again!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-48.png

Somehow it managed to take the hit and keep standing.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-49.png

You’re not down yet, show ‘em!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-50.png

One more, ‘cmon!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-51.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-52.png

Yeah! Good job, Petey! You’re on fire!

FIRE BAD! FIRE BAD!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-53.png

What was that about the meaning of fear?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-54.png

If I’m kidding you, then why is your Pokemon half drowned on dry land?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-55.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-56.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-57.png

And you just destroyed any chance of my not thinking that you were an idiot.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-58.png

And divulging your plans. That makes you 0-2.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-59.png

0-3

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-60.png

What are you talking about, he never stood a chance!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-61.png

Well, I suppose it could have been a mess if I hadn’t shown up…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-62.png

Thanks!

See, it’s not stealing!

Lidda, give whatever it is back to the man.

Aww, do I have to?

Yes.

Okay…:smallfrown:

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-63.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-64.png

Yeah, he did.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-65.png

Then he rushed past me Well, be seeing ya, then…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-66.png

What school are you from?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-67.png

What did I say?

You hated on his school! Hater.

Shut up, Azgard.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-68.png

Hmm… why do people react to honest questions with violence? I believe I have found something to research.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-69.png

I suddenly want to cry, this world is so stupid.

I have been doing so for years.

Awww, boo hoo, little boy is sad.

Azgard return.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-70.png

See, it’s a win-win!

Do you want to go in the ball, too?

If it means I get to stop having to use these blasted wings.

On second thought, I’ll leave you out.

Why? I’m getting tired out here!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-71.png

Alright, I didn’t need to know that.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-72.png

Uhh...

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-73.png

Oh, thanks!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-74.png

Sure.

How kind of her to ask.

I know, as opposed to the shmucks who just march up and say ‘we shall fight!’

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-75.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-76.png

I told you Zigzagoon aren’t thieves! Would somebody as nice as her work with a thief?

Princess meets scoundrel is one of the oldest clichés out there.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-77.png

Hmm, making friends are we?

Azgard? How did you get out?

Never underestimate me. Remember that.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-78.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-79.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-80.png

Then make yourself useful at least.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-81.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-82.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-83.png

Can I quote you on that?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-84.png

Lidda, I… I don’t know what to say.

Then say nothing and let me keep it.

*facepalm* Oh, Arceus.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-85.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-87.png

Alright, William, Mr. Spore, show me what you’ve got!

Do I hafta?

Of course, dear sir.

The... shrooms... require... blood...

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-88.png

Alright, one down, one to go!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-89.png

And that’s the game!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-90.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-93.png

Nope.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-94.png

Battle me because I’ve never heard of you. Can anybody explain that logic?

I am trying, but I shall need more time to complete my research.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-95.png

I do feel very good right now.

The… shrooms… rise…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-96.png

Bleah? Bleah? Are you really giving me a razzberry?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-97.png

Not worth responding to.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH4/RN4-98.png

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you: Rustboro City!

The only "mistake" is that the shrooms don't have spaces after the three periods. But your way is more grammatically correct.

You also don't use different colors, if I recall, but that was done on purpose (DUH DUH DUHHHHH)

For a second I thought he was going to hit me with that.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-20.png

Alright, Mr. Spore, you hold onto this.

Indubitably, good sir!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-21.png

Not yet, guys. We need to make sure we can take her without too much trouble.

Whatever.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-28.png

No! I am seen! I must retreat!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-29.png

Nah, I think you’re coming with us.

Never! NINJA SHADOW STRIKE!

Derp.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-30.png

So, anyway, what do I call you?

I am BLACKSTAR, assassin in the darkness!

Okay, Blackstar it is. Nincada the ninja pokemon. Nincada are stealthy assasins that call out their attacks.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-31.png

Now we’re getting somewhere.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-32.png

That’s what I’m talking about!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-33.png

The mysteries are becoming clearer.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-34.png

I do admit that I feel wonderfull!

The… shrooms… must… have… power…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-35.png

Hey, who are you?

Heh, he wants to know my name. Whatever good that’ll do him…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-36.png

Something about that must have ticked William off, as it got him to finally move and almost beat the Whismur to death. William what was that?

I dunno, bro. His tone a voice just pissed me off. I need a shroom.

Can’t help you there. Anyway, if you won’t tell me your name, how about I call you Mumbles?

Meh.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-37.png

Welcome to the team, then. Whismur the passive-aggressive pokemon. Whismur mutter everything under their breath menacingly.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-38.png

Ahm back in the groove!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-39.png

Lidda, really, you need to stop filching stuff.

But I like finding things!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-40.png

Man, I don’t like this fighting thing.

Too bad. You’re going to pull your weight on this team.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-41.png

LIDDAAAAAAAAA!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-42.png

*facepalm*

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-43.png

Lidda, I swear, you’re going to get me arrested.

What? I’m not doing anything wrong!

And if you keep telling yourself that, you might convince the lawmakers as well.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-44.png

Now ah gaht it!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-45.png

Thank you for the practice, kind Zigzagoon.

The… Shrooms… are… strong…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-46.png

Alright, I think we’re done with you for now.

Of course, good sir!

The… shrooms… will… grow…

I’m really starting to get worried about that.

Oh, please don’t sir, it is just a cold.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-47.png

My finding skills grow greater!

Wonderful.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-48.png

I can st-find even more if nobody can see!

Hopefully nobody will be able to see well enough to call the cops…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-49.png

I thought Jane Locke could handle another trading of blows with it… I never suspected that that damn Whismur would pull out TWO critical hits. It was like it had sworn a blood oath against her. Jane Locke! Nooo!

I… I know one thing… Michael…

W-what?

This… this happened… for a reason…

And her eyes closed. AZGARD! KILL THAT BASTARD!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-50.png

He did just that, smashing the thing’s skull into what resembled a sack of rocks.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-51.png

I sprinted back to the Pokemon Center, cradling Jane Locke’s limp form.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-52.png

Please, you’ve got to help my Seedot!

I’m sorry, sir, there’s nothing we can do for her.

Bull, do something!

Sir, I’m sorry. She’s dead.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-53.png

I'm sorry... I-I’m so sorry… I shouldn’t have kept you out.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH5/RN5-54.png

Guys… I don’t know what to do. Where do we go from here?

We honor her memory, sir.

We… infest… the… body…

I say we relax and smoke some shrooms.

No! We keep going!

Yeah! Let’s git out thar and show the world why she joined us!

Azgard? He paused.

…What can I say? I can tear you apart over this. Hell, I could probably drive you to suicide. But what good would that do? No, just this once, I’m going to encourage you. We lost a friend today, but we have our memories of her. She said this happened for a reason. Don’t waste her death by running home to momma crying. Keep moving forward, kid.

So, that leaves us with the unfortunate issue of finding a replacement for Jane Locke. Please suggest whichever new recruit you want on the team.

So, now that I've lost my first Pokemon, I find that writing a eulogy for them requires no writing "in character", it all flows straight from the writer's heart. I have now felt the pain that has been felt by countless other Nuzlocke players. Because, however silly it may seem, we bind with these little bits of electronic data, and we feel sorrow at their demise. If you will excuse me, I need to cry myself to sleep now.

[Illven]

Nuzlocke = Everything happens for a reason.


Go with Nincada. You can get two pokemon from it.


Jane Locke don't worry. Your death was not in vain.

[Xondoure]

Not sure what your plans are for mr. Spore, but do keep in mind his personality works much better for a Breloom than it does for a shroomish.

On that note, I'm a little confused. Shroomish are spores. So he's a spore infested with other spores?

[Penguinator]

Obviously, Jane Locke died to make a spot for Blackstar.

...My first Nuzlocke death was a Bellsprout that was a level away from Weepinbell.

[RagingKrikkit]

Xon: Shroomish is a mushroom, and Mr. Spore's name is thus rather unusual for one. The really odd part, however, is that he has contracted a disease previously believed to have been exclusive to Paras.

Peng: Not by a long shot. Words cannot describe the agony I felt as that HP bar dropped to 0.

As much as I hated to do it, I needed to fill the spot in my party left by Jane Locke. Blackstar, you’re on the main team now.

It will be my honor to slay your foes.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-2.png

Okay, Petey, that should do it for now.

Aright, Chief!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-3.png

Alright, good work, Lidda. Take a break.

And find things!

*sigh*

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-5.png

Okay, William, we’re done with you for today.

Okay, guys, the league rules state that I can only take two of you against Roxanne.

I hope not, I need a challenge!

Let’s do this!

Triangel attack!

I rotated my neck each way, getting a nice crack for the effort, and stepped up to the woman on the top of the stiars.

Hmm… There is something… different about you, Michael

What do you mean?

You have a touch of… destiny about you. But first, let us see to why you are here.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-30.png

Gladly.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-31.png

Two-on-two?

Agreed.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-32.png

Boulder, go!

Azgard, take it down! Absorb!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-33.png

Azgard’s blow drained all the Geodude’s energy, and it collapsed, unconscious.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-34.png

Don’t muck with Azgard!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-35.png

I kill ‘em all before they can run!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-36.png

Alright, Petey, your turn!

You can do this, Tiki!

Petey, Water Gun!

Tiki, Harden!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-37.png

Water Gun again!

Rock Throw!

Aaahh!

O frik, Petey! One more hit!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-38.png

Tiki, here’s a poition!

Dammit! Petey, pull out! Azgard, go!

Here’s another potion!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-39.png

Absorb!

Rock Tomb!

Ha! Missed me!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-40.png

Keep spamming Absorb!

Rock Tomb again!

C’mon, Azgard, you can do this!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-41.png

One last Absorb!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-42.png

Yeaaaahhh!

Eat that, punk!

We did it!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-43.png

That was great!

Hey, Michael.

Huh?

After seeing that… maybe I was wrong about you. Maybe you do have a chance…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-52.png

Azgard?

Yeah, you’ve got a shot at this.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-53.png

Even if it’s a long one.

Arceus dammit.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH6/RN6-54.png

One down, seven to go. You were saying something about destiny.

Yes. We gym leaders have the ability to sense the auras of others.

Auras?

Yes, sounds horribly cheesy doesn’t it? What I mean is that we can glimpse into a person’s soul. Glean hints of their past… and their future. And you have something unique in your aura.

What?

I cannot tell exactly, but I can tell that you are to be a player in a great event. You will do something that will shape the world of tomorrow.

For better or for worse?

I cannot say. All I know is that your name will be remembered. However, the powers that be do not give this appointment lightly.

How so?

The world is naturally hostile to those with a calling such as this. You may notice that Pokemon tend to faint when defeated. If one of yours falls, it will die.

My mind rushed back to Jane Locke. There was no way that hit should have been able to kill her. How do I know you're not making this up?

All you can judge by is your own experience. If you do not believe me now, you will soon.

[Penguinator]

Triangle attack!

[RagingKrikkit]

Now playing. Please forgive me if this story starts turning into a creepypasta. I've recently started reading them, and they get into my head.

[RagingKrikkit]

So after a busy week and lots of procrastination, I will be moving this tonight. In the meantime, I leave you with one of my favorite Pokemon stories.

http://i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/square/000/003/473/pok_mon_creepy_black_cartridge.jpg

I'm what you could call a collector of bootleg Pokemon games. Pokemon Diamond & Jade, Chaos Black, etc. It's amazing the frequency with which you can find them at pawnshops, Goodwill, flea markets and such.

They're generally fun; even if they are unplayable (which they often are) the mistranslations and poor quality make them unintentionally humorous.

I’ve been able to find most of the ones that I’ve played online, but there’s one that I haven’t seen any mention of. I bought it at a flea market about five years ago. Here’s a picture of the cartridge, in case anyone recognizes it. Unfortunately, when I moved two years ago, I lost the game, so I can’t provide you with screencaps. Sorry.

The game started with the familiar Nidorino and Gengar intro of Red and Blue version. However, the “press start” screen had been altered. Red was there, but the Pokémon did not cycle through. It also said “Black Version” under the Pokémon logo.

Upon selecting “New Game”, the game started the Professor Oak speech, and it quickly became evident that the game was essentially Pokémon Red Version.

After selecting your starter, if you looked at your Pokémon, you had in addition to Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle another Pokémon -- “GHOST”.

The Pokémon was level 1. It had the sprite of the Ghosts that are encountered in Lavender Tower before obtaining the Sliph Scope. It had one attack -- “Curse”. I know that there is a real move named Curse, but the attack did not exist in Generation 1, so it appears it was hacked in.

Defending Pokémon were unable to attack Ghost -- it would only say they were too scared to move. When the move “Curse” was used in battle, the screen would cut to black. The cry of the defending Pokémon would be heard, but it was distorted, played at a much lower pitch than normal. The battle screen would then reappear, and the defending Pokémon would be gone. If used in a battle against a trainer, when the Pokéballs representing their Pokemon would appear in the corner, they would have one fewer Pokéball.

The implication was that the Pokémon died.

What’s even stranger is that after defeating a trainer and seeing “Red received $200 for winning!”, the battle commands would appear again. If you selected “Run”, the battle would end as it normally does. You could also select Curse. If you did, upon returning to the overworld, the trainer’s sprite would be gone. After leaving and reentering the area, the spot [where] the trainer had been would be replaced with a tombstone like the ones at Lavender Tower.

The move “Curse” was not usable in all instances. It would fail against Ghost Pokémon. It would also fail if it was used against trainers that you would have to face again, such as your Rival or Giovanni. It was usable in your final battle against them, however.

I figured this was the gimmick of the game, allowing you to use the previously uncapturable Ghosts. And because Curse made the game so easy, I essentially used it throughout the whole adventure.

The game changed quite a bit after defeating the Elite Four. After viewing the Hall of Fame, which consisted of Ghost and a couple of Pokemon I used for HM`s, the screen cut to black. A box appeared with the words “Many years later…” It then cut to Lavender Tower. An old man was standing, looking at tombstones. You then realized this man was your character.

The man moved at only half of your normal walking speed. You no longer had any Pokémon with you, not even Ghost, who up to this point had been impossible to remove from your party through depositing in the PC. The overworld was entirely empty -- there were no people at all. There were still the tombstones of the trainers that you used Curse on, however. You could go pretty much anywhere in the overworld at this point, though your movement was limited by the fact that you had no Pokémon to use HMs. And regardless of where you went, the music of Lavender Town continued on an infinite loop. After wandering for a while, I found that if you go through Diglett’s Cave, one of the cuttable bushes that normally blocks the path on the other side is no longer there, allowing you to advance and return to Pallet Town.

Upon entering your house and going to the exact tile where you start the game, the screen would cut to black.

Then a sprite of a Caterpie appeared. It was the replaced by a Weedle, and then a Pidgey. I soon realized, as the Pokémon progressed from Rattata to Blastoise, that these were all of the Pokémon that I had used Curse on.

After the end of my Rival’s team, a Youngster appeared, and then a Bug Catcher. These were the trainers I had Cursed.

Throughout the sequence, the Lavender Town music was playing, but it was slowly decreasing in pitch. By the time your Rival appeared on screen, it was little more than a demonic rumble.

Another cut to black. A few moments later, the battle screen suddenly appeared -- your trainer sprite was now that of an old man, the same one as the one who teaches you how to catch Pokémon in Viridian City.

Ghost appeared on the other side, along with the words “GHOST wants to fight!”.

You couldn’t use items, and you had no Pokémon. If you tried to run, you couldn’t escape. The only option was “FIGHT”.

Using fight would immediately cause you to use Struggle, which didn’t affect Ghost but did chip off a bit of your own HP. When it was Ghost’s turn to attack, it would simply say “…” Eventually, when your HP reached a critical point, Ghost would finally use Curse.

The screen cut to black a final time.

Regardless of the buttons you pressed, you were permanently stuck in this black screen. At this point, the only thing you could do was turn the Game Boy off. When you played again, “NEW GAME” was the only option -- the game had erased the file.

I played through this hacked game many, many times, and every time the game ended with this sequence. Several times I didn’t use Ghost at all, though he was impossible to remove from the party. In these cases, it did not show any Pokémon or trainers and simply cut to the climactic battle with Ghost.

I’m not sure what the motives were behind the creator of this hack. It wasn’t widely distributed, so it was presumably not for monetary gain. It was very well done for a bootleg.

It seems he was trying to convey a message; though it seems I am the sole receiver of this message. I’m not entirely sure what it was -- the inevitability of death? The pointlessness of it? Perhaps he was simply trying to morbidly inject death and darkness into a children’s game. Regardless, this children’s game has made me think, and it has made me cry.

Yay! I got it on time for once!

Nice work, guys! Now, let’s see, where’s the next town with a gym?

I saw that same Magma creep I'd crushed back in the woods rush out of the Devon building and bolt north.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH7/RN7-4.png

And who was in not-quite-hot pursuit but the same Devon researcher from the woods.

Give it up, you’re cornered!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH7/RN7-23.png

Fine, we’ll do this your way.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH7/RN7-24.png

Last chance.

Help me!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH7/RN7-25.png

I thought that was a sailor phrase?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH7/RN7-26.png

Well, the whole point of a hostage is that you’re supposed to threaten to kill it if somebody comes after you.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH7/RN7-27.png

So you can see that surrender is the best option.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH7/RN7-28.png

So that’s the way it is, then.

The map displays your position via GPS. It also comes with a built-in flashlight, two-way radio, pocket knife, mp3 player, 3G internet, FacePlace compatibility, that baby will do anything, except tell you what time it is.

It doesn’t tell time?

No. There was so much stuffed into it, there was no more room left for the clock.

You know, there's this big glowing thing called the "Sun", and if you look at it, it can tell you about what time it is.

That's what we figured. Any trainer out in the field should be able to tell what time it is from the Sun.

Yeah, well, this kid has absolutely no place out in the field whatsoever.

SWEET ARCEUS, WHY MUST I GO THOUGH THIS PAIN?

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Michael
Azgard
Lidda
William

In Granite Cave, I can catch:

Makuhita
Zubat
Abra
Geodude
Aron
Mawile
Nosepass

Name and personality suggestions welcome. Also, should I grab a Magickarp in Derfwood, or wait until I have a better rod?

[Illven]

Look at the bright side Michael. You'll see May again shortly.

As for new pokemon.

Zubat. A troll never stops taunting everyone. Name up to you.

Abra. Constantly stoned out of its mind. Will kill for more drugs.

Geodude. Terra. It's previous trainer was a miner that made it use Selfdestruct over and over. When it complained it was viscously beaten within a inch of it's life. Abandoned when the miner found a shiny geodude. It's skills have dulled. It is desperate for affection. If it kills any wild catches. Have it be convinced that Michael preferred that other pokemon

Aron Littlefoot A bloodthristy steel platted dinosaur. When it evolves and gains spikes/rides likes to place still living pokemon on them and listen to them scream.

Mawile A sweet innocent boy/girl with a problem it can't control it's giant jaw. But it can totally learn with time. That last pokemon that was eaten alive was the last one, right...

[RagingKrikkit]

Unfortunately, Ruby doesn't have another May battle until after Slateport, unlike Emerald.

EDIT: Ran the rom for a second, and oh, she is there, she's jsut not fightable. Now, what do I do for that conversation?

If only you had a Ralts.

[Xondoure]

Aron: Marvin/Glados. Very depressed/Psychopath who considers everyone test subjects.
Geodude: Bolin/Lin. A lovable prankster/stiff law enforcer.
Zubat: The Count/Countess. Caught with 1, 1 pokeball! Ah Ah ah.
Abra: Sherlock/Morrigan. A super genius consultant detective/a manipulative sorceress.
Mawhile: Ackbar. It's a trap!

[RagingKrikkit]

Mawhile: Ackbar. It's a trap!

But how could I steal the name of Melinda's Lapras?

[Xondoure]

But how could I steal the name of Melinda's Lapras?

Ackbar is like the john of fictional names, especially in let's plays (I actually know of quite a few.)

[RagingKrikkit]

Really? I never knew that...

[Xondoure]

Really? I never knew that...

Well I suppose not literally, the point being it's quite a memetic reference.

[RagingKrikkit]

Okay, moving along!

Why do you hate my finding?!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH8/RN8-3.png

It was May again. By now, I wanted to tear out my adrenal gland to get that rush to stop. Hi, May.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH8/RN8-4.png

Not too shabby, I’ve got eleven.

Isn’t that poaching? I thought you could only catch one per area?

Uh, he was a tough one, wouldn’t stay in the ball.

Sure.:smallamused:

Honest!

Yeah, right.

Okay, okay, you're right! Please don’ tell anybody!

Ooh, I’ve got leverage on you…

Please don’t She was turning pale, and I figured I should stop teasing her.

*chuckle* Okay, okay, don’t worry. I won’t tell anybody.

*phew* Thank you so much, Michael.

You said you wanted to be friends with me. That’s a bit hard to pull off when you’re rotting in federal prison.

Heh, I guess so. She blushed a little.

So where are you headed next?

Oh, I’m going to get a few more catches in this area, then probably hitch a ferry for Slateport.

Staying within the bounds of legality this time, I hope.

Yes, Dad. :smalltongue: It’s just so hard to not catch more than one. I love Pokemon, and I want to catch tons of them, but this stupid law won’t let me!

Well, write your congressman, I guess.

*chuckle* Yeah, I’ll have to do that.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH8/RN8-7.png

Yeah, I met him.

He said he was heading for Slateport soon, and he’s willing to take passengers.

You know, I’m actually headed out that way. I should probably give him a visit.

Okay, I’ll see around then, Michael.

See ya, May.

So, your prospective girlfriend is a criminal.

Shut up.

If I turn her in, can I also nail you on obstruction of justice?

Azgard, do you want me to hit you?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH8/RN8-8.png

I checked my reflection in the water again. The eagerness was still there, but it was tempered by the hardness of loss and the confidence of victory. There was also what looked almost like a haunted air in my eyes, the wondering if what Roxanne had said was true, if I really was destined to play some great role in the world.

He’s got some dang big junk, then.

I wonder if I can find anything in his junk.

I like junk, man. Junk is the best food to eat.

Where I come from, every man worth his name has a big junk.

Ah always liked junks. Thar so cumfterbel.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH8/RN8-38.png

Then take the rod out of the water?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH8/RN8-39.png

Why the hell do you want to fight? I thought you needed to go?!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH8/RN8-40.png

THEN FREAKING GO!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH8/RN8-41.png

Haven’t tried either yet.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH8/RN8-42.png

Oh, yeah, fight me because I haven’t fished. That makes perfect sense.

Does attacking without provocation count as helping?

Will Michael break the law if you find a shiny?

[RagingKrikkit]

That popped into my mind as I was writing the conversation, and given that he's chaotic good, I'm thinking he probably will if he comes across one.

[RagingKrikkit]

So I'm thinking that I'm starting to overuse Lidda's "finding". Should I stop playing this up (at least for a while)?

[Illven]

It's up to you. If you want to change it up though, you could have her honestly find something and spend her time trying to convince the others she did. Or have her get into minor trouble with someone.

[Penguinator]

So I'm thinking that I'm starting to overuse Lidda's "finding". Should I stop playing this up (at least for a while)?

I think it's funny...

I would, however, like to hear more from Blackstar. I mean, he's only gotten one line since he became a member of the main team... He didn't even have some sort of, "I won't fail you now that I'm on the main team" statement.

[RagingKrikkit]

Don't worry, Blackstar has dialouge on the way.

[RagingKrikkit]

Good news: the character list has at last been updated! See the first post for details!

[RagingKrikkit]

And for my third post in a row: Can everybody read Petey's dialouge alright, or should I add translations like Illven does for Jack?

[Illven]

And for my third post in a row: Can everybody read Petey's dialouge alright, or should I add translations like Illven does for Jack?

I can understand him.

[Penguinator]

He's fine. He's just speaking phonetically.

[RagingKrikkit]

Her, guys. Don't worry, that will be adressed in Chapter 9.

[RagingKrikkit]

Okay, guys, confession time. It has now been one week since I lost the flash drive that was carrying--among other things--my save file. Let me put it this way...

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Anyway, there are two things I can do.

1: Abandon the nuzlocke

2: Perform actions of dubious legality (I have a hard copy of Ruby around here somewhere) and recreate the nuzlocke. This means suspending "nuzlocke mode" and catching the same Pokemon and such until I get to the point I was at before. Thus, the Pokemon and their names will remain the same, but stats and natures will change (not that it really matters). Items will probably change, but who cares about that kind of micromanaging?

Would 2 mean it would be a written run?

[RagingKrikkit]

No, I just get back to where we were off-camera and then we pick up where we left off.

[Illven]

No, I just get back to where we were off-camera and then we pick up where we left off.

If you're okay with two. I'm okay with two.

[RagingKrikkit]

Yeah, I wanted to do that, but it didn't feel right just to jump in without telling you guys. Joy, three hours of holding down the spacebar and mashing z, here we come...

[Penguinator]

Two it is. Need moar BlackStar.

[RagingKrikkit]

Alright, I'm finally on the move! I should be able to get a chapter up by next Wednesday.

[RagingKrikkit]

Good news! Chapter coming tonight!

[RagingKrikkit]

No, bad internet! Bad! Bad!

Give me an hour, and in the meantime, here is a picture of my Eevee

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/personalspace001.jpg

Yes, her name is Eevee.

Three cheers for reboots!

Chapter 9: Friends and Evolutions
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-1.png

Okay, guys, I’ve done some research and it looks like next gym is a little out of our league. So, that means it’s grinding time.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-2.png

Hi, what’s your name?

*sigh* My name is Marvin.

You alright? You sound kinda down.

I’m just as fine as ever, considering I have been stranded here for ten million years.

What? Ten million years?

Yes. I have been traveling with a pair of apes, a man from a small planet in the vicinity of Betelgeuse, and the ex-president of the galaxy. However, they conveniently forget to bring me along when they go off on one of their trips through time, and I end up being stuck on the same planet for eighty million years before they show up again like it has been ten minutes.

This happens often?

Yes. Because of their little trips through time, I am now seventeen times older than the universe itself.

Sounds like a harsh life.

Made all the worse in that I have a terrible pain in all the diodes down the left side of my body. My capacity for happiness you could fit into a matchbox without taking out the matches.

Maybe you should come with us. Maybe we can help you.

Help. Ha. If I know you, and I do, insofar as I know all organic life-forms, which is far too well, you will be completely unable to do anything but cause me misery.

How so?

They crashed me into a sun once. They left me on a ship about to hit a star, and they left me behind to teleport them away.

Oh, come on, it won’t be that bad.

Yes, it will.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-3.png

Well too bad, you’re coming anyway. Aron the robot Pokemon. Aron are paranoid androids who believe that their entire existence is misery.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-4.png

Are we done yet?

Not by a long shot.

Aww… I wanna smoke some shrooms…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-5.png

Now are we done?

No, William.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-6.png

If I have to move, then nobody else gets to!

What? That doesn’t make any sense.

So what? It’s not my fault you won’t give me shrooms!

William, just shut up.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-7.png

Now?

NO!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-8.png

Now?

Okay, okay, you’re done! Just shut up!

Ahm queen a’ tha werld!

Say, Petey, if you’re a girl, how come they call you Petey?

Well, Chief, mah real name’z Patricia. But ah waz a girl in a mahn’z werld, so the guyz gave me ah guy’z name.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-11.png

But wait? Why should ah be a girl in a mahn’z werld when ah could be ah mahn in a girl’z werld?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-12.png

Alright, Petey, you’re done. Good work.

Thanks, Chief!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-13.png

Lidda, if you keep this up, I’m going to turn you in myself.

But I didn’t do anything!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-14.png

That was refreshing!

Kill… Infect…

Never!

You’re doing it again.

Not to worry, sir, it is merely my cold acting up again.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-15.png

No, you are not learning how to filch even more.

But I can find you all sorts of good things!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-16.png

My finding gets even better!

Joy…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-17.png

And even better!

I wish your attack would get better.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-18.png

Okay, you’re done, Lidda.

Yay! Now to find things!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-19.png

*urk* I feel funny.

Lidda?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-20.png

Yes, I know now what I must do.

Huh?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-21.png

I must find all the things!

*sigh*

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-22.png

I can now refresh myself more efficiently!

Harvest… the… life… force…

Nice work, Azgard!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-24.png

Yeah, we’re doing alright.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-25.png

Alright, take a break.

Thank you, kind sir.

The… harvest… is… not… complete…

A ninja already knows her foe’s every thought.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-32.png

Yeah, fat lot of good that’s gonna do us.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-33.png

Good job, Blackstar. Take a breather.

Many thanks, sensei.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-34.png

You are most kind.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-35.png

Allow me to thank you for sharing with me your wisdom.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-36.png

I shall slay all who dare stand against you.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-37.png

I shall strike from all angles.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-38.png

My blows shall grow ever more devastating. I shall kill them all!

Uhh… Azgard, you’re up.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH9/RN9-39.png

No problem.

[Illven]

You didn't get Shendjia?

Also your second to last image needs to be fixed.

[RagingKrikkit]

Yep, I screwed up on Blackstar's evolution. Oh well.

On that image fix now.

[RagingKrikkit]

Okay, input time.

1: Should I grab a Magikarp in Derfwood, or save it for later?

2: On Route 110, I can get Plusle, Minum, Oddish, Gulpin and Electrike. Anybody want to suggest names/personalities?

3: I kinda want to put Marvin on the main team. Anybody agree, and if so, who gets boxed?

4: What level should I grind for and who should I bring to fight May? she has:
Shroomish Lv. 18, Wailmer Lv. 18, Combusken Lv. 20

Grab one on one of the routes you can reach.

Plusie and Minun. Plus or Minus. Wants to find it's friend. Will stop at nothing to do so.

Oddish Eats pokemon that provide no nutritional value, in preparation for it's evolution. Thinks it will evolve into Vileplume

Guplin. Snack. Will try to eat your team if you have your back turned, will constantly complain about it's empty stomach.

Electrike Sirshocker. A follower of Spike.


Uh sure, put Azgard on the reserve.

Lv 20 and bring Petey, Mt.Spore, and William.

[RagingKrikkit]

Uh sure, put Azgard on the reserve.

Only if you box Bolliante for Endo.

Do you think he's a weak link, the least funny, or are you just mad I didn't go with your suggestion?

[Illven]

Only if you box Bolliante for Endo.

Do you think he's a weak link, the least funny, or are you just mad I didn't go with your suggestion?

This isn't a trade :smalltongue:

I just think Breloom's are better then Azgard's final form.

[RagingKrikkit]

Let's see, I've got:

Normal
Steel/Rock
Grass
Bug/Flying
Grass
Normal
Water/Flying
Bug/Flying

Curiously enough, this leaves me with William/Blackstar and Azgard/Mr. Spore possibly being redundant. Maybe drop William? (Peng will kill me if I suggest cutting Blackstar.)

But William needs to learn attract so he can make girls fall in love with him, and do things for him.

[RagingKrikkit]

That's what reserve grinding chapters are for! (Seriously, though, nothing furthers character development like a reserve grinding sequence.)

[Illven]

That's what reserve grinding chapters are for! (Seriously, though, nothing furthers character development like a reserve grinding sequence.)

But then he can't use it on the great gym leaders Flannery, Winona, and Liza. :smalltongue:

[RagingKrikkit]

One of which will cook him for that, one will (have her Pokemon) eat him (and not in the good-feeling way), and one will make his head asplode.

[Illven]

One of which will cook him for that, one will (have her Pokemon) eat him (and not in the good-feeling way), and one will make his head asplode.

But they are females, and he's a male, and I seriously doubt any of them have the oblivious trait or a white herb handy.

[RagingKrikkit]

But they all have male Pokemon, which will take exception to their misteresses being abused like that. Not to mention Illven got arrested when his Pokemon used attacks on humans.

[Illven]

But they all have male Pokemon, which will take exception to their misteresses being abused like that. Not to mention Illven got arrested when his Pokemon used attacks on humans.

Easy solution is to have William order the mind-slave to get their pokemon to stop attacking.

And technically Illven was arrested for his pokemon getting caught using attacks on humans :smalltongue:

[Penguinator]

Actually, William kind of bores me. Then again, look at his character.

You've already got another bug/flying type, so he's easily dropped.

That, and you'd be dropping someone who complains a lot for someone who complains a lot. It makes sense.

[RagingKrikkit]

Finally, I can get a break!

I hope you enjoy your rest, knowing it came at the expense of my existance.

[RagingKrikkit]

In a bit of a rush, so sorry, none of the frills this time.

Leht’s go, chief!

Man, do I hafta?


http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-3.png

Wow, it’s dark in here.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-4.png

How did you know my name?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-5.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-6.png

I know, that’s why I’m not.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-7.png

I said I know.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-8.png

I noticed that as well!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-9.png

Finally, something I don’t know!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-10.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-11.png

I walked off in a huff. Seriously, people can just be idiots sometimes.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-12.png

And according to the contrived rules of irony that seem to dictate my battles, you are going to cry when I win.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-13.png

Really?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-14.png

I knew it, I knew it!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-15.png

Because it breaks so easy?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-16.png

I’m going to ignore the subtext there.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-17.png

At least it’s getting brighter. I can finally see my hands now.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-18.png

You should join Team Magma.

What are you talking about? I beat your Pokemon into the dirt.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-22.png

Oookay…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-23.png

Right.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-35.png

I put a headphone in my left ear and pressed a button on my Pokenav. Seeing as it came with an MP3 player, I had taken the liberty of downloading a few songs for it.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-63.png

However that works.

It’s like a permit. You have to be able to prove yourself responsible enough to use moves outside of battle situations.

Then why did I need to beat Roxanne, the easiest of you, to get Cut, and I only get Flash from you?

Bureaucrats. Anyway,

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH10/RN10-67.png

One more thing.

Yes?

Roxanne said something about Auras or something. Some sort of ability to see into someone’s life and fate.

Yes, it’s true. You know what I see?

[Illven]

Drake. Believes itself to be a dragon, no matter how much you tell it it's water or water/flying.

Okay, we're moving right along! Suggestions are still open for names and who to bring to fight May.

Okay, William, sorry to do this to you, but you’re off the main team. Welcome aboard, Marvin.

Oh, man, finally!

How like an organic life-form of you. Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and you want me to fight wild animals.

Pretty much. Gotta grind you up to match the rest of the team first, though.

Wow, that’s dark.

I wrote a song once. You don’t want to hear it.

Regardless, he launched on into a monotonal drone.

Now the world has gone to bed
Darkness won’t engulf my head
I can see by infrared
How I hate the night

That’s… wonderful…

Now I lay me down to sleep
Try to count electric sheep
Sweet dream wishes you can keep
How I hate the night

You must have a terrific outlook on life.

Life. Don’t talk to me about life.

Ookayy, anyway, Mr. Spore, Flash.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH11/RN11-36.png

Alright!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH11/RN11-38.png

Huh, wonder what that is…

There was a name chiseled the stone, Sarah, with a birthdate, a deathdate twenty-nine years later, and a poem.

The years may come, the years may go
And though I travel high and low
My eyes shall never see again
A face as they had beheld then

Before the night that stole you away
I got down on my knees to pray
That we would stand together when
Inside the Great Hall we would tread

Since you were taken from the then
My heart has ever felt like lead
A second chance is all I ask
To see your smiling face and ask

To ask if you would marry me
And we would spend eternity
Delighting in each other’s company
Beyond this world’s reality

But you are gone and I am left
Arceus’ judge has come and went
Stealing you out of my arms
But leaving you inside my heart

But one day we shall reunite
Our love shall always hold us tight
Till that fateful day shall come
And I shall again see my love

The years shall ever grow more long
‘Till I can sing to you the song
That I would cry out day or night
Of how you made my heart so light

I leave now to continue life
For your sake as for mine
And one day we shall meet again
But slowly creeps the time

Farewell my love, I wish you well
As you live beyond the stars
But when I have gone out from this world
In my arms you I shall hold.

Farewell, my love. We shall see each other again.

…Wow…

‘At’s so moovin’

This world is a harsh one, full of troubles. But also, there is joy here, if one can find it

Joy... Kill...

Shut up!

My people have written many songs and poems of love and loss. And yet, never has one moved me as this.

Are you guys really gonna sit there and sob about that all day?

Azgard, really?

Yeah, it’s sad, but we should really get moving.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH11/RN11-39.png

Lidda started sniffing around Steven’s foot. Lidda, no!

It’s okay. Besides, once Linoone smell something, they never give up until they find it. He took a nugget out of his pocket and tossed it to Lidda

Yeeeee!

Wow, you’ve gotta be rich to toss away a nugget like that.

Money means little to me. I live life for its true pleasures, rather than material gain. But anyway,

Alright, see you around.

Farewell, my Illven.

Your what?

In my land, an Illven is one who is your superior, but not your direct commander.

Oh.

Steven smirked. An interesting title, to be sure. I will have to use it some time. But as I said, I must be going. Please excuse me.

Okay, bye. And Steven walked out. I turned to the beige lump of fur frolicing on the floor Lidda...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Characters who speak in this chapter:

Mr. Spore and... spores...
Blackstar
Marvin

[Illven]

Not commander? I'd like to think I'm a very capable commander :smalltongue:

[RagingKrikkit]

Oops, I forgot to color in Blackstar's dialouge there. Also, I meant direct commander, I.E. the captain from another company is a private's superior, but not his direct commander, thus, his Illven. I dunno, I just had to make a joke about your real name.

[Penguinator]

It would be nice if you would fix the dialogue color... There's also a pic that isn't showing.

I love Marvin, though. Can't help but hear him in Alan Rickman's voice.

[RagingKrikkit]

Dang it, the photos always break right in that same spot! Somehow an enter gets stuck right between the k and e!

Anyway, anybody have any thoughts on the poem?

[Illven]

Dang it, the photos always break right in that same spot! Somehow an enter gets stuck right between the k and e!

Anyway, anybody have any thoughts on the poem?

It was good, I liked it. Though if this were in real life and it was my friend I'd probably make a crack about "What if you had different alignments!?"


Also I know what you meant. Thanks. :smallsmile:

[RagingKrikkit]

I just have to wonder:

Y U NO POST?:smallfrown:

(Yes, I'm speaking to you)

[Xondoure]

Marvin is awesome, keep it up?

[Illven]

I just have to wonder:

Y U NO POST?:smallfrown:

(Yes, I'm speaking to you)

But what if we do post.

[RagingKrikkit]

I just feel so abandoned compared you your threads...

[Penguinator]

I've been quieter everywhere on the forum lately.

[RagingKrikkit]

Anyway, I have good news! There is a 115-image chapter comming your way this week!

[Illven]

Anyway, I have good news! There is a 115-image chapter comming your way this week!

How soon this week?

[RagingKrikkit]

Wedsday/Thursday

[RagingKrikkit]

I would like to point out to those who use photobucket that making groups of images in excess of 100 is not recommended, due to the high levels of annoyance involved in straightening them out. On a brighter note, I have a new method of formatting dialouge colors that cuts down on editing time!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-4.png

So, who’re you?

I am Drake! I am the greatest dragon that ever lived!

Uh, no, you’re not.

Sacrilege! I am a dragon!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-5.png

Well, mister dragon, federal law says you’re coming with me. Magikarp the fish Pokemon. Magikarp are convinced that they are dragons. They are wrong.

Azgard, if you start that again…

Aye, she be an old wreck, been thar fer years, nobody’s tried to launch a salvage operation, though.

Finally, land!

Seasick?

I’m not going to respond to that.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-18.png

Yep.

Awesome!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-22.png

Only natural that would happen.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-23.png

Must be a good one, then.

So this is Slateport.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-29.png

Really? We only have one in Sinnoh.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-30.png

Oh, joy, more magma goons.

FIRE BAD! FIRE BAD!

Petey return! We can deal with them once they do something illegal, but just making a huge line isn’t really something to thrash them about.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-31.png

Alright, that should do it.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-32.png

Hey, more stuff!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-33.png

I’ll have to check it out, then.

Okay…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-38.png

What are these? Dolls? Yeah, I think I’ll pass.

Sand? Uh, thank you…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-44.png

Then why did you give me some?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-45.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-46.png

Uh, yeah. Have fun with your castle.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-47.png

Uh, not really…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-48.png

Great, return of the people who want to battle because I disagree with them.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-49.png

Nice.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-50.png

Too easy.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-51.png

Oh crap Run!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-52.png

What, scared of a little girl?

It does appear that you fled before a crying child.

Do they have child molestation charges where you come from?

No.

That explains it then. There is nothing in this country more dangerous than a crying little girl, because she brings mommy, and the first thing mommy does is call the cops and hysterically scream about what you are probably not actually doing to the girl. And then who are the cops going to believe, a responsible mother or a grimy teenager? Yeah, in this country, you run when you hear crying.

I do say, that is appalling!

Tell me something I don’t know.

Ay, what is ‘at billdin’ any’ay?

Huh, it’s…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-53.png

Oh.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-54.png

Hi, I’m looking for Captain Stern.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-56.png

Hello?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-57.png

HELLO!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-58.png

*facepalm*

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-59.png

Yeah, I have a package for him.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-60.png

Yeah. They probably could have gotten here faster if they’d gone with overnight delivery, but the president decided to turn me into their personal delivery boy.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-61.png

What?! I dragged this lousy box of scraps halfway across the region! How will this not do?!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-62.png

Then why don’t I just leave them here until he gets back?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-63.png

I guess not. ARCEUS DAMMIT!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-64.png

Okay, remember what I said about them not doing anything illegal yet? Screw that, I need to vent.

Alright, now you’re talking!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-65.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-66.png

Sure.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-68.png

Oh, man, it’s you again. This is going to be even better than I thought!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-69.png

Oh, do I?

Heh, I’d like to see that. He ran out. He’s probably getting reinforcements. Let’s get upstairs, we can hold them off from up there.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-74.png

Seriously? You are that freaking poor?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-75.png

Right on schedule.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-79.png

No, you won’t.

They’re idiots in red costumes, and they’re not getting this package. Best part is now I have an excuse to pound on you morons.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-85.png

Lidda, Headbutt!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-86.png

You were saying something?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-87.png

With one attack, to boot.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-88.png

I’ll thrash him as well.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-89.png

Cue incompetence.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-92.png

As predicted.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-93.png

Yes, this is a great mystery, how could a teenager defeat an adult in a RED COSTUME?!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-94.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-95.png

You would have gotten away with it, too!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-96.png

Then one more Magma guy walked up the stairs. I could tell right off the bat that he was brass, between his walk and how the other two almost shied away from him, yeah this guy was a leader.

Legal adult!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-99.png

And I’m Michael, I hissed your friendly neighborhood asswhupper.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-100.png

Why on earth do you feel compelled to only rob people when I’m around?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-101.png

I take it you never took Biology class.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-102.png

Oh, so you’re an eco-terrorist.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH12/RN12-103.png

Yes, robbing old men in forests and museums, that’s LG behavior.

Alright, see you.

Are we done with the sidequests yet?

Yeah, I think so.

Where shall we go next, then?

Mauville, there’s a gym there.

I do say, a wonderful idea!

Infect… gym…

And all the things I can find!

Leht’z go!

The Magneton is probably your biggest threat.

[RagingKrikkit]

Never mind, chapter not comming tonight, because I need to rewrite the Michael/May conversation.

I may not be able to read/comment on it for a couple days, fair warning.

[RagingKrikkit]

EDIT: This chapter has been rewritten since it was first published, mainly because I wasn’t happy with the main conversation. It’s better now, but honestly it still kinda sucks.

And the long-awaited continuation has arrived!

Chapter 11's References:
Really, they're pretty obvious, which is why I didn't include them in the last chapter. However, if you didn't get the whole story behind the Illven joke, Steven is Illven's real name.

Here we go, guys, back to the real adventure!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH13/RN13-2.png

Hello, have you seen a Minum around?

Uh, no.

Arceus dammit! I have to find my friend!

Well, if you come with us, maybe we can help.

Oh, yes, thank you!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH13/RN13-3.png

So, what’s your name?

Okay, Plus. Plusle the rodent Pokemon. Plusle are searching for their missing Minum friend.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH13/RN13-4.png

What about to have them get trashed?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH13/RN13-5.png

Nice.

I hate paralysis.

I am honored, Sensei.

How about no?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH13/RN13-37.png

And we’re outta there.

They say the human body gets used to things the more time it experiences them. When I saw May loitering around in the grass, something strange happened. Or well, I guess didn’t happen. No adrenaline rush hit me this time, which threw me off almost as much as it had when it showed up. At least it was easier to recover from than my body screaming “ANGEL!” while my mind tried to have a conversation with a human being.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH13/RN13-39.png

Oh, it wasn’t that long ago.

And yet we’re halfway across the region from where we last met.

More like a third. Besides, that’s modern travel for you.

Okay, fine, you win. It hasn’t been a long time.

Of course the real question is how many Pokemon you’ve poached in that time.

I haven’t been!

That’s what you said last time.

This time it’s true! One per route! But guess what,

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH13/RN13-40.png

Yeah, that’s what happens when you train them.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH13/RN13-41.png

For old times’ sake?

Heh, sure, for old times sake.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH13/RN13-42.png

Three-on-three?

You got it.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH13/RN13-43.png

This time you’re the one who’s getting beat!

We’ll just see about that.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH13/RN13-44.png

Dang. Swap out!

Absorb!

Splash!

Really? You told it to use Splash? Don’t give me the win!

Don’t worry, we’re just getting started.

Absorb again!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH13/RN13-49.png

Rollout!

Ha! Finish it! Absorb!

I can do other things than spam Absorb.

Yeah, but you don't know any other grass moves.

Do this, Flambert!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH13/RN13-54.png


FIRE BAD FIRE BAD!

Petey attacked it without warning, savagely blasting it with Water Gun.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH13/RN13-55.png

Even after it went down, Petey kept spraying it. Petey, what the hell are you doing?!

FIRE BAD FIRE BAD!

Petey return! She dissolved into a beam of red light that retreated into the ball. Sorry about that, she’s traumatized. I didn’t know she’d react like that.

It’s okay, he’s alright. But I’m not done with you!

Bring it.

Here we go! Shroob, It’s your turn!

Blackstar, go!

You got a postal job?

Except the lazy old man didn’t even pay me…

Oh… but

More subversion of the law? Now I don’t have to buy all my items?

You’re the one with a Zigzagoon.

Actually Linoone now, but yeah.

You know, in that case, why am I even giving this to you?

To cut down on the number of things the cops can charge you with?

Sure. She said, smirking. I want them to arrest you and lock you up for a few years so I can thrash you when you get out.

You [i]are joking, right?

The smirk broke into a grin. You’ll find out when it happens. See you around, Michael.

Alright, see you around, May.

Well, that was interesting.

Azgard, if I have to tell you to shut up again…

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Michael
Azgard
Petey
Blackstar
And introducing Plus

So, I am still taking suggestions for characters and how to take out Watson. Wally, however, will not be an issue.

[Illven]

Well Michael certainly is alot less awkward around May.

That makes it less fun for Azgard.

[RagingKrikkit]

Well, I think the main part here is that I didn't mention the adrenaline surge, which perhaps Michael is learning to enjoy. Also, the each conversation is turning out slightly less akward than the last, but I do not pretend/claim to be a romance writer.

In my head canon, Your May wants a power trip so she's just teasing Michel. :smalltongue:

[RagingKrikkit]

Well, we'll see how that turns out.

[RagingKrikkit]

Alright, now that I've finished the Mass Effect trilogy, I can get this going again! Yay!

[Penguinator]

After a while, I would think that Plus would go into a deep depression after realizing that, even if Minus is found, you couldn't catch it legally.

[RagingKrikkit]

Actually, on the next few routes, I have a 15% chance of finding a Minum first. If that doesn't work, though...

Also, a little tide-me-over for you guys:

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/LiddaTruth.png
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[Illven]

*face-palm*

Well that was good, I admit.

[Illven]

[RagingKrikkit]

I ran into it heading down to meet Briney, and had to get a pic of it.

Point me at ‘em! I’ll kill ‘em all!

Uh, sorry, Petey, not you. This is an electric gym.

Ahh, yah, ah’ll staie awahy, then.

More than enough! Let me prove it!

Well, if I knew you were going to take it that hard…

[Illven]

Aw. You made Wally sad now.

[RagingKrikkit]

My technique is to write as I take the images, and that's just how it came out, I mean, what else was I supposed to do with all those periods?

[Illven]

Stunned silence, and then Wally giving you a high-five?

[RagingKrikkit]

No, if he is to grow into the arch-villian he is meant to be, his dreams must be utterly crushed.

Did I post that?

[Illven]

No, if he is to grow into the arch-villian he is meant to be, his dreams must be utterly crushed.

Did I post that?

Is this going to be a Green villain. He wants to remove all pollution so he can breathe normally :smallannoyed: :smalltongue:

[Penguinator]

Is this going to be a Green villain. He wants to remove all pollution so he can breathe normally :smallannoyed: :smalltongue:

No, he's going to be a proper mobster. He's going to give all his minions koffings and grimers and rattatas so that nobody will be able to breathe.
(I miss Team Rocket, so much...)

[RagingKrikkit]

Further changes: After finding out that it's actually called Dewford instead of the Derfwood I have been calling it for the last 9 years, I have fixed my typos there.

[RagingKrikkit]

Quick, guys, I need name/personality for an Illumise!

[Illven]

Lady Il.

Regular high class girl, that thinks Michael is a servant.

[RagingKrikkit]

Tomorrow: A new friend, an evolution, and Michael's terror in the land of suicide Voltorbs.

[RagingKrikkit]

Well, here we go, into the land of suicide bombers…

What did I tell ya?

Now don’t beat yourself up. I would have thrashed her if she’d been by herself as well.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH15/RN15-8.png

Sure. Marvin, you’re up.

I’d ask you to save me from him, but I know you won’t.

Thanks.

Hey, who are you?

“Hey?” How dare you address a lady in such a manner?

Uh, sorry?

“Sorry”?! All you have to say is “sorry”?!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH15/RN15-26.png

Yeah, well, you’re the first one I’ve found, so you’re coming with me.

Help! It’s the peasant uprising!

Illumise, the nobility Pokemon. Illumise believe that they are ladies and should be treated as such.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH15/RN15-27.png

Okay, you’re done.

The beating of helpless creatures had added immeasurable amounts of joy to my life.

Immeasurable, huh?

Yes, my joy is immeasurable. Because there is none.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH15/RN15-28.png

What?! Why do you hate me?!

Good job!

Thank you, sir!

And we’re done! Let’s hit the gym!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH15/RN15-32.png

Wait, sir.

Huh?

You have been a remarkable trainer.

Thank you, Mr. Spore. You have been a remarkable Pokemon.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH15/RN15-33.png

I wish to show my gratitude to you. I wish to show you how great I can be. I wish to do my absolute best for you.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH15/RN15-34.png

We… will… slay… them… all…

Uh, that’s not good.

Agreed, sir.

Alright, no more “it’s a cold” crap, tell me what’s wrong with you.

Slaughter… mayhem…

I have, uh, contracted a particularly undesirable disease.

Silence…

They are called the Shrooms, and were thought to be exclusive to Paras. I seem to have been infected with their spores.

Be… silent…

I was able to restrain them, but I am afraid that they have seized control of my body now that I have evolved.

We… shall… silence… you…

I can still speak, but if you give this body free reign, it will inflict terrors upon the world.

Terror… mayhem…

Great, now I’m stuck with a walking instrument of doom.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH15/RN15-35.png

Blinding… speed…

Perhaps this may help you in the gym. I am truly sorry, sir. I did not anticipate this.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH15/RN15-36.png

You ready guys?

Let’s do this thing!

Slaughter…

Victory!

Murder…

Yes, I am prepared to perform despicable acts of violence against my will.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH15/RN15-37.png

I did know that.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH15/RN15-38.png

Ah, now I see. You must be that child of destiny Roxanne and Brawly were talking about.

Apparently so. I got no clue except what you gym leaders keep on saying.

Make no mistake, you are destined for greatness, son.

Well, looks like I’m headed for greatness over your badge.

Ha! I like you kid! Let’s see how you fight!

Bring it!

Alrighty,

Go, Bolt!

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Michael
Azgard
Lidda
Mr. Spore
Mr. Spore's Spores
Marvin

And introducing:

Lady Il

Thoughts:
Wow, that was in intense battle. Maybe it was because I was spending 30 seconds on each screen taking photos and typing dialogue/lyrics combined with the suspense of waiting for him to suicide bomb, but I was on the edge of my seat at that selfdestruct. Order comes out, photo, dialogue, lyrics, stare at screen in terror, unpause, MISS! I would have cheered, but it was 11 at night and I didn’t want to wake the neighborhood. And to be fair to that Meditite, it did know Thunderpunch.

Also, we got Mr. Spore eveolved! Yay! Oh, wait, now his evil half controlls his body...

In other news, we have reached the daycare center, and as with Illven’s run, I will allow the breeding of one egg. Choose it wisely.

And now comes the fun part: The part where I have no idea what happens from here. I remember the highlights, but until we’re on the road to Fortree, I can’t remember the order things go in. Well, that’s what I get for not playing this game in, what has it been, seven years? Well, enjoy the fun!

Can I get a grinding level suggestion for Flannery? She has:
Two Lv26 Slugmas and a Lv28 Torkoal

[Penguinator]

Prepromote and Arrow to the knee are references.

Could you color the names for the "characters who speak in this chapter," please?

[RagingKrikkit]

Oh, damn, did I forget to do that?

EDIT: Fixed

[Illven]

Why were you worried about the self-destruct? Marvin has a double resistance to it.


Can't you just read my run to figure out where to go? :smalltongue:

[RagingKrikkit]

I hadn't done the math, and when you're dealing with suicide bombers, you don't want to take chances.

Actually, when I read your run, I somehow ended up missing all that part again, and I figure I'll just go rediscover how to move forward.

You're missing the end slash for your spoiler.

You can re-read it. Go look for threads started by Illven, in my user profile.

[RagingKrikkit]

Okay, fixed. Now if you could just edit it out of your post...

1. I actually want to stuble my way through, at least for a while.
2. Dang, you've got a lot of LPs lying around...

Most of them were back when I did not know there was a button to screenshot, so I would have to type out the image name when I wanted to save the image. And I would need to get each image code from photobucket, one from one.

That took too long, and I lost interest

[RagingKrikkit]

Ah, I have a folder in my pics for the nuzloke, with a folder inside for each chapter. When I screenshot, I title each image RN[Ch#]-[img#]. I use the bulk uploader on photobucket to get them up, and use the select all and generate link codes actions at the bottom of the screen, then sort images 2-9 (and any over 100) into place in Word. After that, I copy/past the dialouge I wrote while I was playing (recorded in a seperate document, with the images noted by numbers), then load it into the GitP reply box, where I add text colors.

I just use f12. (I think it is)

For the dialogue I have it in the characters colors already. My open office document has all the names of characters and the code to make them speak in color on gitp.

[RagingKrikkit]

I reiwired pause to O (due to my P key being screwed up for a while, and me being to lazy to fix it) and screenshot to K (which opens up that window, where I do the naming thing.)

My does it automatically. (Which does potentially over-write old images unless I move them)

[RagingKrikkit]

(Oh, no it's almost 6 weeks!)

Let me guess, it does [game name]# as the image name? I just have a slightly more organised method of handling the images.

In other news, I'll get working on this again tonight.

[RagingKrikkit]

Funny, I made it to 70 images, but it still feels short...

References: None, because I was too lazy to be creative

Chapter 15's References:
Huh, apparently I marked the references wrong last chapter...
Video Games: Lydia is a character that can become a follower in Skyrim (shoot me. In the knee was a none-too-subtle hint. Not to mention that her pathfinding AI sucks, so you do want somebody to shoot you) and prepromote.

TV/Movies: "Run, Forrest, Run!" Comes from Forrest Gump, while "now all you need is a pair of sunglasses" references... was it CSI or Lost?

Great work there, guys! Let’s get moving again.

NOW!

Okay, okay! Calm down! I mean, really, you run up a cliff to challenge me?

I think that falls under the definition of OCD.

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Michael
Azgard

[RagingKrikkit]

Getting back into this, now that I am free from XCOM.

[Illven]

Watch Wally wipe your entire team in Victory road.

[Penguinator]

I just got Black 2, started it yesterday, Nuzlocke, haven't beaten the first gym, and I already have a casualty. >_< (I wasn't expecting Pidove to come at me with Gust. "Most birds start with Tackle, so it should start with tackle! Kill it, Sewaddle!")

On the other hand, I caught a Riolu in the next route. With a 5% chance. Can't complain.

On the other hand, I caught a Riolu in the next route. With a 5% chance. Can't complain.

Nice, I got my fifth gym badge and have had four deaths.

[Penguinator]

And then the first pokemon I saw in the Virbank Complex was a Shiny Growlithe.

I really shouldn't complain. (But I always get shinies with the worst natures...)

[Illven]

Screw natures That's awesome!

[Penguinator]

My team is doomed to stay at four members. Caught and lost Zubat before I even got out of the sewers.

Edit: Riolu just evolved at level 18, bad feelings gone.

[Illven]

My team is doomed to stay at four members. Caught and lost Zubat before I even got out of the sewers.

Ouch.... Crobat helped me curb-stomp Burgh

[Penguinator]

Ouch.... Crobat helped me curb-stomp Burgh

I haven't done much grinding, to be honest. They kind of fixed it so grinding is harder than it should be. But I switched in Zubat to save Riolu, which is now Lucario, from a Timburr. I wasn't expecting a critical hit Rock Throw. (Why? Why does it know Rock Throw?!)

Besides, Shiny is doing her job to curbstomp all those silly little Sewaddles.

Really, what about Audino grinding?

[Penguinator]

I've yet to see a one.

[Illven]

I've yet to see a one.

Shaking grass should happen after the first gym.

[Penguinator]

Shaking grass should happen after the first gym.

Yes, yes, I've seen one of them. And it was my catch for Castelia City. >_<

I saw quite a bit of dust in Relic Passage. (Killed what I should've caught, there.) Didn't yield Pokemon, but I got some (good?) items out of it.

[RagingKrikkit]

So, I rediscovered the part I forgot, and the game makes sense again! I forgot fiery path.

Pokemon available soon: Machop, Numel, Grimer, Koffing, Slugma, Torkal, Sandshrew, Skarmory, and Spindia. Names and personalities welcome.

[Illven]

Machop. Sir.Chops An expert chef that has traveled to Hoenn to hunt for his own (food-making items, can't spell the word)

Numel Victor His father was used as a battle mount in the Hoenn wars!

Grimer No idea

Koffing Idi Thinks it is a pokeball holding a poison legendary.

Slugma Fume. Wants to burn down the world.

Torokoal No idea for name. Wanted to be caught by Flannery, hates Michael when he defeats him,

Sandshrew Claws. Very shy, massive crush on Azgard.

Skarmory Believes it is a secret spy plane, manufactued by the league to stalk promising young trainers.

Spindia A giant teddy bear.

[Xondoure]

Grimer Puddle. Wants nothing more than to bring joy by letting people stomp on it in rain boots.

[RagingKrikkit]

Still working on this, but in the meantime, I have something else that may interest you.

http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50133893n&tag=strip

[RagingKrikkit]

Updates to all LPs comming by the end of the week. In the meantime, I need help on a personal call: Snivy or Oshawatt? I'd be more partial to Snivy, except for a personality that has been running around in my mind:

Oshawatt: Ocelot; This is the finest shell in the world; the Ponyta Single Swipe Army. Five blades, more than enough to stop anything that moves.

Go Oshawott, Water starters never let me down.

[Xondoure]

Go Oshawott, Water starters never let me down.

Really? As much as I loved my Samurott it was a struggle to keep him useful.

[Illven]

Really? As much as I loved my Samurott it was a struggle to keep him useful.

I never had that problem, and he didn't even know Megahorn (Wasn't aware of how to get it.)

[Xondoure]

I never had that problem, and he didn't even know Megahorn (Wasn't aware of how to get it.)

Well due to it's nature, mine relied on it's attack stat in a party with a high concentration of physical sweepers, so unless I really needed the type advantage I usually had stronger, faster options.

[Illven]

Well due to it's nature, mine relied on it's attack stat in a party with a high concentration of physical sweepers, so unless I really needed the type advantage I usually had stronger, faster options.

Ah, In my white team, my final team ended up being, Samurott, Scratfy, Renuiclus, Emloga/Zekrom, Chandelure, something.

[Penguinator]

Still working on this, but in the meantime, I have something else that may interest you.

http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50133893n&tag=strip

Seen it before. In fact, I was showing "Re: Vos Cerveaux" in my French class yesterday.


I never had that problem, and he didn't even know Megahorn (Wasn't aware of how to get it.)

I'm with Xondoure on this one, Steam hasn't done much for me. I mean, she knows two water attacks. (Granted, one is Physical and one is Special, so both have their uses) Revenge is rarely useful, and X-Scissor is only marginally useful.

A bred one looks quite nice, though. Air Slash? Night Slash? Those are pretty nice egg moves. In fact, Steam is a female, so Zoroark may be a daddy.


Ah, In my white team, my final team ended up being, Samurott, Scratfy, Renuiclus, Emloga/Zekrom, Chandelure, something.

I killed the stupid Scrafty! I wanted it so bad! Then Audino critikilled it! Accursed Audino!

Chandelure is the only thing that keeps me from losing to fighting Pokemon, and I have no measure against Water types and am about to face the last gym. I've been doing all the movies to stall for time. (And amass medals. Shiiiiny...) ('Cause Shiny, now Arcanine with Outrage and Flare Blitz, has a weakness, Krueger (Sandslash) has a weakness (and still doesn't have Earthquake), Steam is useless against them, Candelia has a weakness. Lucario doesn't have any Electric or Grass moves, and neither does my other Pokemon whom I have conveniently forgotten. The only Grass or Electric types I have are a Zebstrika (10 levels behind), my dead Sewaddle, and a Tangela (10 levels behind and I don't really like Tangrowth).

[Xondoure]

Actually, Samurott can learn grass knot. So there's that.

[Penguinator]

Actually, Samurott can learn grass knot. So there's that.

If I had the TM, that would be almost comforting.

[Xondoure]

If I had the TM, that would be almost comforting.

It should be obtainable shouldn't it? :smallconfused:

[Penguinator]

It should be obtainable shouldn't it? :smallconfused:

Probably. I haven't trudged through the Pinwheel Forest.

[Illven]

I killed the stupid Scrafty! I wanted it so bad! Then Audino critikilled it! Accursed Audino!

N killed my Scrafty, along with Eliwood my Samurott.

[Xondoure]

Probably. I haven't trudged through the Pinwheel Forest.

That'll get you grass knot and solar beam.

[Penguinator]

N killed my Scrafty, along with Eliwood my Samurott.

Maybe so, but you at least caught it in the first place. I had so many things die because of Pokemon I hated. (My Watchog with a speed-losing nature, that stupid Audino...)

[Xondoure]

Maybe so, but you at least caught it in the first place. I had so many things die because of Pokemon I hated. (My Watchog with a speed-losing nature, that stupid Audino...)

I lost my watchog early switching it in to take an attack for another pokemon. The worst moment of a nuzlocke, that first death. Actually that's not true. The worst was catching a Scyther in HeartGold and getting him all the way through the game only to have him die to Gary's Machamp because his wing attack didn't quite OHKO and it knew rockslide.

[Illven]

Maybe so, but you at least caught it in the first place. I had so many things die because of Pokemon I hated. (My Watchog with a speed-losing nature, that stupid Audino...)

Ah, I've just started putting them to sleep, and spamming poke-balls

[RagingKrikkit]

EDIT: One could argue that this wasn't in by the end of the week, but just live with it. You get Pokemon, be happy.

Yay, it's back! The story continues!

Well, I think that there’s something that drives people to battle Pokemon. Some sort of

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH17/RN17-20.png

That makes trainers who they are. So, I suppose battling you makes me feel… right. Like things are as they should be.

And who are you?

I am Victoria, daughter of the great battle mount Victor, in whose steps I follow!

So… you want to be mounted by big sweaty men.

Azgard, shut up before I duct tape your mouth. Victoria, would you like to join our little band?

That would be great!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH17/RN17-62.png

Welcome to the team, then. Numel the battle mount Pokemon. Numel live in the shadow of their warrior parents, hoping to become like them.

We made our way to Route 113, where we were greeted with a scene the likes of which I’d never even heard of. It would have looked like any other route in the world, except for the layer of ash that clung like snow to the ground, as gray flakes lazily tumbled out of the sky.

Yeesh, look at this place. It’s freaking buried in ash.

Sneak peek at the end of the world, huh?

Maybe just.

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Michael
Azgard
Lidda
Petey
Marvin

And introducing:

Victoria

Thoughts:
First off: dammit, Lidda, why'd you kill the recruit?! I actually put my finger on the buttong, thought "As long as she doesn't crit..." and pressed it. There are times when there is no barrier between my mind and Michael's mouth. Eh, at least we got the Numel. In other news, the Route 113 music is awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5D8T9pB284

Also: Carol likes to sing: Joke or coincidence of translation?

Also, I need a grinding level for Flannery. She has:
Two Lv.26 Slugma and a Lv. 28 Torkoal

If I don't get suggestions, I will default to the level of the opponent's highest level Pokemon, in this case 28.

[Illven]

Aw, looks like Igor has a cross dimensional girlfriend now :smalltongue:

Azgard kinda reminds me of Memetic.

What about Maxie at the top of the volcano?

[RagingKrikkit]

Well, since we never got any of the Poocheyna pups in the game, we have yet to establish that they exist in the same multiverse.

I think the best way to describe Azgard at this point would be a CoD player, minus the ****** jokes and random f-bombs. We'll see what happens with him.

And, yeah, Maxie slipped my mind there. Lemme look that up.

Mightyena Lv. 24, Golbat Lv. 24 and Camerupt Lv. 25

So I'm thinking I'll grind to meet Flannery, and then do the both of them.

But we've yet to disprove it either :smalltongue:

I'd say 25 for Maxie, 28 for Flannery.

[RagingKrikkit]

Huh, that's interesting, they censor the ruder form of homosexual. Anyway, we'll see what happens in regards to the multiverse.

[RagingKrikkit]

*Scrolls through thread* Oh, crap, did I say I was going to update this? Ugh, well, that's what going out of town will do for you. Monday/Tuesday is the new release date.

[Dusk Eclipse]

I spent most of my afternoon reading this LP, an afternoon well spent in my books. Posting to subscribe and letting you know you are doing a great job.

[RagingKrikkit]

YakYak's Morale sharply rose!

[RagingKrikkit]

Oh, wait, I did update that one I said I was going to. Well, that makes me an idiot all over again. I'll get the Pokemon available for suggestions up soon, and then finish up the next chapter.

Also: I just got a thought in my head. I suck at drawing, so if I could get someone to draw Playachu for me, I would be vary grateful.

I like insane characters...

[Dusk Eclipse]

I won't name anyone since I suck at doing that; but I have some ideas for personalities.

Zangoose: Regardless of gender it is in love with a Seviper they can breed IG!); but has to keep his love secret due the racial hatred between the species.
Electrike/Manectric: Has been just expelled from the pack, depresed because of that challenges Michael looking for a Warrior's death and it is incredibly furious when he/she is captured.

Alright, Petey, let’s get this one!

Control, this is Recon Theta-One. Subject is believed to be possible HVI. Entering close assessment protocols. Recon Theta-One out.

Skarmory the spy Pokemon. Skarmory seem to be reconnaissance units for a group scouting out trainers of some form of value.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH18/RN18-7.png

Fallabor Town. I’ll never forget that place. Out of all the places I visited on that trip, it sticks out as one of the most prominent. Not because of what it was or what happened there, but simply that it was there. It stood in the shadow of a volcano, the buildings built upon volcanic soil, and everyone knowing full well that all it took for their world to come to a fiery end was Mother Nature waking up on the wrong side of the bed. And yet, in the face of this, the people continued on, going about their daily lives with smiles on their faces. They weren’t convicts or exiles, they were people who had willingly chosen to live there, and enjoyed it despite, or maybe because of, the ever-present reminder of their frailty as humans.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH18/RN18-8.png

Okay, Lidda, I can’t deal with you anymore right now. You’re on time out now, we’ll talk about your “finding” and killing recruits later.

Wait, no, please! Please don’t put me in the-

Pokemon storage successful.

Let’s see, who to bring out. Eh, how about Victoria? We could use a fire type.

Pokemon withdraw successful.

Thank you, Captain! Are you going to be training me in the arts of battle?

Something like that.

Uhh, Chief?

Yeah, Petey?

Yer not gunna box anee of us, are ya?

I could tell that she was worried. She was thinking ‘What would it take for him to box me?’ Lidda had been part of the team for even longer than Petey, and it must have shaken her up to see me box her like that. Don’t worry, Petey. I’m not about to box anyone. I care about you. All of you. Even Lidda, I’m just giving her a time out. You guys drive me crazy sometimes, but in the end, I’ve never had friends like you guys.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH18/RN18-9.png

That’s very touching and all, but you might notice that we wandered into the tall grass?

I smiled and shook my head. It had taken forever, but I could finally take Azgard’s crap in stride.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH18/RN18-14.png

Nothing. Get outta here.

Well, sorry, I can’t do that without catching you first.

Yeah, sure. Zangoose the hostile Pokemon. For some reason, Zangoose are very cranky when met by trainers.

You’re not getting away that easy!

Three guys in blue. My first thought was that they were Southside to Magma’s North. I wasn’t far off.

If I’m really honest, I think my biggest advantage over Magma was that they usually felt the need to battle me before I’d get out of their way. If they decided instead to just bum rush me, then they had a bit more success.

Name’s Michael. And if you’re another crime gang, I guess I’m going to end up trashing you guys as well.

So, you’re a vigilante group, and not a gang?

Yes. We were founded for the sole purpose of defeating Team Magma, and ending their schemes before they destroy the region.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH18/RN18-61.png

Out the front door, and the first thing I saw was a pair of Poocheyna tearing into each other as a Magma and Aqua grunt yelled at them. It sounded like a fight to the death.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH18/RN18-62.png

But the fight that really sticks in my mind was the one Archie was in. Somehow, his Pokemon was holding its own despite being outnumbered three to one.

I’ll hold these ones off, but I can’t get past them! Get Maxie while I keep them busy!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH18/RN18-68.png

You know the drill, Petey, Water Gun!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH18/RN18-85.png

The Mightyena struggled, kicking sand about and desperately gnawing at Petey, but in the end, the barrage of water knocked it to the ground, unconscious.

Archie’s leg was wrapped in a bloodstained bandage, and he was limping. But on the other hand, that was probably better than could be said of his Pokemon.

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Michael
Azgard
Lidda
Petey
The... Spores and Mr. Shroom
Victoria

And introducing:

Theta-One
Romeo

Thoughts:
Well, get two and loose one to RNG crap. At least the fight with Maxie went that well. I didn't show it, but that Golbat wouldn't die, with us both using 2 Super Potions there. Anyway, with our end-of-the-world (in more way than one) update over, it's time to go for the next badge!

So, who should I bring for Flannery? She has:
Two Lv.26 Slugma and a Lv. 28 Torkoal

A grinding level of 28 has been suggested, although that's what I would have defaulted to anyway. Any objections?

[RagingKrikkit]

Hey, I finally got around to editing the roster way back in the first post!

[RagingKrikkit]

They say time flies when you're having fun, but this? No, it can't have been a full year that I've been on GitP. Really? Huh. Well, then, to celebrate: BADLY NEEDED UPDATES TO ALL LPs!

Lavaridge was awfully small for a gym town, smaller even than Dewford. But at the same time, it felt busier. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it just felt like there was more bustle there.

Alright, Lidda, welcome back. Please stop stealing every shiny thing you see.

She scampered up to me and hugged my leg I’m sorry, I’m so sorry! Please don’t put me back in the box!

I patted her head It’s okay, Lidda. I forgive you.

In video games, they call it grinding. Endlessly beating up random opponents for experience points. The funny thing is, every now and then, something truly unexpected happens.

So, my computer has stopped giving me internet. I intend to have an update ready by the time it starts working.

Also: did you know that you can download IE for Xbox?

I see I’m making an impression among the gym leaders.

We’re here to bring it one step closer.

I don’t remember much of what happened right after that. I remember the taste of salt in my mouth, the feel of charred feathers in my hands and against my face. I remember that I said something, probably begging Petey not to die.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/Ruby%20Nuzloke/CH20/20-75_zps40eb316f.png

And I remember seeing Lidda tearing the Torkal’s artery out. Honestly, I don’t remember if I ordered her to attack or not. I don’t even remember staying to collect the badge, but I must have, because it was on the inside of my vest the next morning.

And this is why you choose Mudkip as your starter (Taste double resistance bitch!) :smalltongue:

But did you run out of healing potions or something? I mean counting STAB and resistance Overheat is still stronger then Bodyslam. Why would you think 23 hp would cut it?

[RagingKrikkit]

Beccause I wasn't expecting the Overheat in the first place. Guess I got just a little bit cocky.

That also means it's time to vote for the new team member. I'll leave you guys to that.

Let's go with Drake. You should use Water types.

I agree that you should use Drake, though he needs some serious training to catch up.

*Insert obligatory apology to everyone for letting this die*

*Insert obligatory thanks to Glyphstone for letting me necro this*

So... we're back. Finally. Oh, and I rewrote chapter 13 because it sucked. And I should update the roster on the front page. I'll get to that within a week.

Chapter 21: The Morning After
http://i.imgur.com/ZbK5vI0.png

I woke up with dried tears running down my face and horrible memories. For a moment I dared to hope that it had all been a dream, to hope that yesterday had been nothing but my mind playing tricks on itself. But then I saw the badge. It was no dream. Petey was dead.

http://i.imgur.com/36lLQgk.png

It took a long, long time for me to drag myself to my feet and out to the lobby.

http://i.imgur.com/23Y7GSE.png

Excues me, sir. called the receptionist. I mumbled something along the lines of an acknowledgement back.

http://i.imgur.com/uIA0tXt.png

This came in for you last night. she said, handing me an envelope. I mumbled something again, and made my way over to the corner, where I tore the envelope open and found a letter inside.

Michael,

I am truly sorry for your loss, and share your grief. I have lost Pokemon before, but never under circumstances like yours. The death of Petey has removed any doubt from my mind as to your status in the world. The universe has indeed set you aside for a special purpose, blessed with a destiny of greatness, but cursed with the knowledge that you friends’ lives are forfeit should they be defeated.

Please do not let this tragedy stop you. You are meant to do something of great importance, but your destiny will not come to meet you. You must reach out and seize it instead, for your sake, for the world’s sake, and for Petey’s sake.

Truly yours,

Flanney

http://i.imgur.com/K69KgP4.png

Bitch. I growled under my breath, rage building up inside me. Trying to get away with killing Petey by blaming it on some “destiny” crap.

http://i.imgur.com/rLGyAt7.png

I’m gonna march right back in there and remind her what it feels like to have your Pokemon die in your arms.

http://i.imgur.com/CJbtGzW.png

I’m gonna-

Michael!

May?

She came running up to me, waving wildly until she was sure I’d noticed her.

http://i.imgur.com/Ss3xdha.png

I didn’t want her to see me like this, so I turned away to hide the murder in my eyes. May, sorry, this isn’t a good time.

Hitting the gym?

Yeah, sorta…

Michael, what’s wrong?

Nothing. I’ve never been a good liar.

Michael, talk to me. This isn’t like you.

I sighed and held out my right arm behind me, offering the letter crumpled in my clenched fist. I felt a slight tug as she took hold of it, and I relented just enough for her to slide it out of my grip. She was silent for a minute before asking She died?

Yeah… I said, somewhere between a whisper and a grunt.

Michael, I’m so sorry.

Being sorry won’t bring Petey back. I retorted.

Then why are you going to go make Flannery feel sorry?

I didn’t say that.

You didn’t need to. Michael, revenge isn’t going to help you or Petey. Don’t do this.

Then what? I turned towards her, gesticulating violently What the hell am I supposed to do?!

She shied back a step I… I don’t know, Michael. She looked down at the letter again. What’s this about a destiny?

Some Tauros**** they’ve been throwing at me since I went up against Roxanne.

They?

The leaders. Something about auras and fate and the universe being sadistic. I don’t know what they’re talking about and frankly I don’t give a damn. If they want to keep killing my friends and blame it on some fate or meaning of life or whatever the hell they want to call it, they’re going to have a hell of a time getting away with it.

You know what you need then?

What?

Answers.

http://i.imgur.com/iDpuVLR.png

He’ll be straight with you. He’ll tell you what you want to know.

I closed my eyes, grimaced, and braced my fingers against my forehead, trying to come up with a counter. Something that defeated her reasoning. Something that I could use to justify rampaging through that gym with a set of angry Pokemon. But no matter how hard I tried, her logic was devoid of any flaw I could find. Fine. I surrendered, I’ll talk to him.

Then she did the last thing I would have expected her to do. She hugged me. Her arms wrapped around my chest, and my body suddenly remembered that it was in the middle of an adrenaline rush. I stood there for a moment, shocked, and then the weight of what had happened yesterday crashed down on me again, and I returned the embrace, gripping her tightly as tears welled up under my eyelids. Michael, she said, it’s going to be alright.

For the life of me, I can’t tell you how long we stood there in front of the gym, arms locked around each other, salt water running down my face and onto her shoulder. I wonder what the people walking by thought of us standing there, probably looking like a pair of last-chance lovers reunited. I’m glad Azgard didn’t see it; he would have never stopped coming up with jokes about it.

Finally, I managed to stop bleeding tears, and I let go of her, wiping my eyes with my sleeve. May let go of me, leaving an imprint on my nerves, and looked into my eyes. You alright? She asked.

Yeah. I answered, meaning it this time. I’ll be okay.

She smiled. C’mon. Let’s get you some breakfast.

We made our way to a small diner, one of those breakfast-all-day joints that put out more pancakes in an hour than most people ate in their lifetimes. We both got something that came with way too much syrup, and I told May everything I knew about what the leaders had been telling me. I told her the whole story, starting with Jane Locke, and ending with Petey. Everything they had told me about the universe giving me a special role and combining it with the burden of watching my friends die. She hardly said a word through it all, sitting there with her pancakes hardly touched, much like mine.

…and that’s when you showed up. I said, bringing the story to a close. She sighed before finally letting out a

Wow… I… I don’t know what to say, Michael. Talk to your dad. Get some answers.

I will. Thanks, May.

She smiled. Anytime.

Say, once I get Dad’s badge, that’ll leave Fortree as the next gym. Want to meet me out at, say, route 119? I can get you up to speed on what the hell this whole aura thing is.

Sure. I’ll see you there, Michael.

She paid for our hardly-eaten breakfast, and we parted ways at the door. She had work to do for her dad, and I needed to have a talk with mine.

[Illven]

No pokemon battles!? 0/10. Would not read again :smalltongue:

On a serious note. So I guess pokemon can't hear outside their poke-balls?

[Shadou]

Just read through this nuzlocke. I've been laughing my ass off, seriously. Kudos to you on your humor in this. Just a couple of nitpicks.

When you rewrote chapter 13, you put it in chapter 14's place, so now both versions of chapter 13 are up and 14 is unavailable.

During the chapter you pulled Lidda from the box, you had half her sentence when she came out in her own color and the other half in your color.

[RagingKrikkit]

*Headdesk*

Fourtunately, I keep backups on my computer, so I went and fixed everything to how it should be. Now to just fix the dialogue color.

Good to see people are still reading this.

[Shadou]

I have to say, you've a very talented writer. I've at times been laughing hysterically at Lidda's or another pokemon's antics, and I have to admit I've also shed a tear at times, especially during the death of Petey and the aftermath.

I just have to ask, though; how often do you plan to continue updating this? The most recent two updates were 4 months apart. Not really sure if I want to try to chip in my 2 cents on voting on names and personalities, or party makeup, if I'm not going to see the results until next year :smalltongue:

That said, I think I'll still chip my 2 cents in here anyway. Since we've defeated a gym leader, we probably have a new set of pokemon available for catching. Could we know what they are?

With Petey dead ( :smallfrown: ), and no immediate water replacement (magikrap, lol), I would vote that, if a water pokemon is not caught in the next available area, that Mr Spore be boxed (It is entirely too risky for him to remain in the main team with the spores controlling his body. Who knows what they'll do?), and Lady Il be brought in along with Victoria. If not, then Drake is going to need some heavy training.

Also, I move that at the earliest opportunity, Lidda 'finds' the Surf HM in your pack and figures out how to use it. And thereafter spends every possible moment frolicking in the water. And using it to hose down fire pokemon, in Petey's memory.

[RagingKrikkit]

All suggestions counted, and I plan to begin updating this weekley or biweekley now that I've remotivated myself (loosing Petey happened to coincide with Photobucket turning into crap, forcing me to find a new host). And frankly, it's good to see that there's someone out there who likes the early chapters. (Personally, I think just about everything before this latest chapter is crap.)

I'd still like to see a list of the upcoming available pokemon in the next areas we'll be exploring.

The Mod Wonder: So, how is this going?

(i.e. reviving with permission)

[RagingKrikkit]

Did I say two weeks? No, I could do two weeks when I was running around making things up as I went along. Now that I've got to sit down and think about things... Oh, who am I kidding? Yep, I procrastinated again.

Chapter 22: Newly Estranged Father: Norman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0ZJojKAICA)*SLAM*

I threw the door to the final room open, Azgard, Lidda and Blackstar filing through the door after me, leaving a trail of gym trainers attending to their battered Pokemon. A lone figure stood at the far end of the Pokemon battle field that dominated the room, his gaze squarely locked on me as I approached the challenger’s position opposite him.

Dad. We need to talk.

He paused before answering, several seconds of deafening silence that stretched off into eternity as we gazed into each other’s eyes from across the arena. Finally, my dad broke the silence.

Michael, you’ve finally made it.

Spare me the gym speech, dad. I need some mewdamn answers.

Answers to what?

You know damn well what! This whole game with auras and destiny and my friends dying! What the hell is this?!

Michael, calm down. I’ll tell you. Roxanne was… premature in telling you about the auras. The abilities of the gym leaders has always been a closely guarded secret.

So all the mystic crap is for real, then?

Yes. The world is a much more complicated place than most people ever know. Most go through life experiencing only what they can feel with their five senses. But much, perhaps even most of our world exists above or below or just out of their sight.

What do you mean?

He paused before replying. It’s… how do I describe it? There’s a world within the shadows of our world. It’s still our world, but outside what everyone sees in their day-to-day lives. In our world, we have knowledge, science, technology; things that everyone knows at least a little bit about. But there are also those things that hide in the corners of reality. Abilities that would be thought of as magic. Creatures and objects that defy explanation. And on top of it all, factions that use these things to influence the world as man knows it.

Wait, you’re telling me the the Illuminati are real? I asked, trying to figure out how long it was going to be before this started making sense.

Not quite. There are a few organizations that could fill that description, but most prefer to be left with their secrets, only influencing the public when their security is in question. I don’t expect you to understand this, Michael, and I certainly don’t expect you to believe me yet, but keep your eyes open. Notice things in this world. Do some thinking, and eventually the truth will start falling into place.

No. You are not kicking me back out the door with that. You are going to tell me what the hell this shadow world of yours is.

*sigh* Alright, Michael. You want to know more? Beat me, and I’ll tell you more.

You kill one of mine, I kill all of yours.

Dad had always had a thing for normal-type Pokemon. Something about how they required more skill to win with, due to the type having no real advantages over any other. Then again, deliberately handicapping yourself wasn’t the best battle strategy.

There were no words for how much I wanted to personally beat that thing to death. Instead, I settled for Lidda pounding away at it.

She went for the throat, her teeth and claws going about their work, and made certain that the Slaking would never battle again.

Alright, Azgard, take this bastard out!

http://i.imgur.com/JtIwslQ.png

Hang in there!

http://i.imgur.com/LqyfBu3.png

The hit knocked Azgard back a good ten feet, sending him sprawling to the ground with the unmistakable sound of breaking bones. He coughed a red haze before struggling back to his feet. Get a hand?

http://i.imgur.com/6QdWG0Z.png

Yeah, here!

http://i.imgur.com/08R9QlD.png

http://i.imgur.com/U5F3R0L.png

That was when I knew I had this one settled. That was Focus Punch, the biggest gun in his arsenal, but it took a long time to get the swing angled right, that combined with how slow and uncoordinated Slaking were, he wasn’t going to get another shot at it.

http://i.imgur.com/h2I53eO.png

And it can be very hard to concentrate when being beaten to a bloody pulp.

Of course, dad was never without another potion on hand.

Lidda beat down on the last Pokemon without mercy, never giving it a second to catch its breath.

http://i.imgur.com/jmVRnKu.png

http://i.imgur.com/Zn8cVGg.png

Then she rammed it in the spine, and with a definitive “crack” it slumped into a heap, unmoving.

http://i.imgur.com/ZGBl2oF.png

I’d done it. I’d beaten my dad, and more importantly, earned the answers he had promised. All it had cost me was another friend.

Thoughts:http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/322/129/819.png

I knew I should have used that potion. It's going to be a long second half of the game...

[Illven]

You're lucky Azgard wasn't killed also.

Granted at this point I was several levels over, so I really can't say anything.

[RagingKrikkit]

Normally I would have ground everyone to level 31, but as I was looking at the Bulbapedia entry, I thought "why don't I do it at equal level?"

[Illven]

That's why I always go as high as I feel I'm not cheating myself for :smalltongue:

[RagingKrikkit]

Yeah, I noticed that you tend to do that. For me, though, it just feels right to go in with about the same level.

[Illven]

Yeah, I noticed that you tend to do that. For me, though, it just feels right to go in with about the same level.

To be fair. Most of my overleveling is because grinding the reserves tends to give the main team a few levels. And I can't exactly de-level.

[RagingKrikkit]

Then reserve grind before you grind the mains.

[Illven]

Then reserve grind before you grind the mains.

Well that is what I do. And am doing. If you read Blazing hate you'll see me slowly lose my sanity from having to grind 45 pokemon of varying levels to level 66.

[RagingKrikkit]

That reminds me, I should do a grinding session.

Alright, I'm going to grind the team, plus Drake and Blackstar's replacement up to 31, along with 6 more that you can argue over.

[Illven]

Wait, Drake died during grinding?

[RagingKrikkit]

No, Drake (Petey's replacement) and *Insert fan vote* (Blackstar's replacement). If Drake had died, I would have said "Drake and Blackstar's replacements.

[Illven]

Ah. Then I think you only have 7 reserves. I.e Blackstar's replacement, and 6 more.

For Blackstar's replacement go with either Victoria, or Theta-one

[RagingKrikkit]

Victoria was already part of the team. Available reserves are:
William
Mr. Spore
Mumbles
Plus
Lady Il
Theta-One
Romeo
Lounge
and whatever's in the egg.

I think you need to do some editing of the first post then.

[RagingKrikkit]

Very much agreed. I'll get around to that tomorrow (which will be in an hour anyway)

[Illven]

It's already tomorrow! :smalltongue:

[RagingKrikkit]

Humans are always moving towards the future, but never get there. Whenever we make it to the future, we find ourselves in the present.

[RagingKrikkit]

Character manifest has finally been updated.

[Illven]

Theta-one for your new teammate.

Grind all of the reserves except for Plus

[Dusk Eclipse]

I vote Romeo for the team, I've always loved zangoose.

[RagingKrikkit]

So, when I go for route 119, I have two options.

One, I can just make a normal catch routine, and maybe get a Tropius, or two, I can catch a Tentacool on one of the sea routes I still have spare, and catch a Feebas. Assuming I don't screw anything up, it should be garunteed under the dupes clause.

[Dusk Eclipse]

How many sea routes do you have left? If there are more than 1 I say skip the tentacool for now and get a Feebas, not sure of the name, but s/he should be modest about his/her appearance, not really wanting to evolve, but s/he is addicted to blue poké blocks.

What he said.

[RagingKrikkit]

I have a lot of sea routes left, but the catch is that if I want a half-decent chance at catching a Feebas, I need a Tentacool first.

*Runs to Bulbapedia*

On route 199, Magikarp, Wingull and Peliper will apprear while surfing, and Magikarp, Tentacool and Feebas appear while fishing with the old rod. However, Feebas will only appear along six tiles along the entierity of the route, randomly chosen upon my entering the area. So to cover the whole route without running into something new, I need to catch a Tentacool.

Catch a tentacool first then.

[Dusk Eclipse]

Tentacool Telus : Brave Warrior of the sea (interpret that as you will, though personally I would prefer a more serious take on that, sometimes you need a straight man)

[RagingKrikkit]

If I don't get an update posted within 12 hours, sic Strongiron on me.

[RagingKrikkit]

Alright, guys, confession time. I am five months short of twenty, and my parents have given me an ultimatum: Find out what I'm going to do with my life for at least the next year, or they're going to find out for me. It was a tough decision, but in the end I have determined that I will be joining the United States army, and have already begun speaking with a recruiter. In the short term, that means that I am taking the months before I sign the papers and then get called off to boot camp (which might or might not have a significant delay) to wrap up my life, including my LPs. Long-term, I'm not sure exactly what's going to happen, but I intend to finish this game, and come back for more when I can, even if I have to wait four years to do it.

We now return to your regularly scheduled pre-update banter.

Alright, I'm sick of all the mopey crap, time to do something fun.
