Kaera's Nuzlocke CHallenge

[kaera]

My Rules:

Hey everyone, I'm gonna do a Nuzlocke. I copied all of the rules from the Bulbapedia page and kept/changed all of the ones I want so far:

-Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be perma-boxed.

-The player may only catch the first Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else. If the first Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances.
--Region only pokemon. As in, only pokemon from Hoenn. Any Johto or Kanto pokemon that pop up will be ignored.
--No doubles. If I run into a Zigzagoon on Rt 101 and then on 102, I can go for another pokemon on 102.

-All Pokemon will be nicknamed based off of a Greek God

-Adjusting the first encounter rule to ban duplicate captures.

-Black Out/White Out is Game Over

-Set battle style

-Banning the use of held items.
--Notice: if a PickUp ability pokemon picks up an item, I will keep it but not give it to any pokemon for holding

-Maximum of 5 items per visit to Poke-Mart
--Max capacity of 5 same-items in bag. In Explanation, only five Potions can be carried at a time.

-Banning the use of Master Balls.

-No catching/using of legendaries.

Dear Diary...

We made it to our new home in Littleroot by 9:30 in the morning. I had to ride in the moving truck. It was fun at first but got really boring before long. I watched the Machoke movers get us unpacked for the most part. Dad got me a clock and I went up to my new room to set it and unpack my things.

After unpacking I went to see the neighbors. I went to see Professor Birch but instead I met his wife- who is very nice- and his son- who is CUTE!!!! <3 His name's Brendan and he offered to catch me a pokemon but had to run when he remembered something about his dad.

I went to the pokemon lab to see if Birch was there but some nerdy Aide told me that Birch was out. I went out of town and heard someone shouting up ahead. I ran up to see Birch being attacked by a Poochyena. I grabbed one of the pokeballs from his bag.

I grabbed a Treeko and battled the Poocheyena, beating it. Birch thanked me and we went back to the lab. Birch gave me the Treeko to keep- I nicknamed him Ares- and suggested I go seen Brenden on Route 103 . I left town, going up Route 101 and ran into a Zigzagoon on the way to Oldale town.

After beating the pokemon I made it to town and went to the Pokemon center to heal my pokemon up. I met a guy in town who took me to the pokemart and gave me a free Potion. I bought three more when I went to the mart and two anidotes as well. I explored the town a bit and then went up route 103 to find Brendan.

On my way I ran into another Zigzagoon but Ares beat it hno problemo. I ran into another one shortly after, won again, and then found Brendan. We battled and I beat him then we headed back home.

By the time I made it back to the lab, Brendan was already there, but I seemed to have gotten there in time not to miss anything important. Birch gave me a Pokedex; a device for collecting data on pokemon. He gave one to Brendan too.

Then Brendan gave me a Pokeball! Does this mean he likes me? I probably shouldn't read too far into it yet. We only just met afterall.

After that I left. I stopped in at home first though to stay one more night before starting my adventure with Ares. Mom gave me Running Shoes! Awesome! I can't wait to see the world!

June 25th

Dear Diary...

I woke up at noon today...guess I slept in huh? I was up kinda late thinking about what to do. I had a pretty good plan and it seeme dto work. I said goodbye to mom that morning and checked my bag to make sure everything was still there before leaving, starting my journey officially.

I left town and headed north up Route 101 since its the only route heading out of New Bark Town. On my way back up to Oldale I ran into a Wurmple! I had to catch it, so I sent Ares out to fight it. The Wurmple used a bunch of string shots to slow Ares down, but a few pound attacks was all Ares needed to weaken the bug enough. I threw one of the pokeballs that Brendan gave me and I caught it! I decided to call it Apallo.

I got to Oldale town pretty quick after that since the Wurmple jumped me only just before I got off the wilderness road. First I went to teh Pokemon Center to heal Ares and Apallo up after their fight and then I went to the PokeMart to replenish my stocks. I got a Pokeball and some Awakenings, just in case ya know.

Before going on to Route 102 and then Petalburg, I wanted to run up to Route 103 again to see what I can find. First thing I ran into was another Zigzagoon. I fought it with Ares again and was close to catching it, but Ares got a critical hit with Absorb at the end and finished it off. Oh well, easy come easy go, right?

A little bummed out, I headed back to Oldale Town and then to Route 102. I switched Ares with Apallo as my first-out pokemon so I could train the little wurmple up. We ran into a Lotad almost right away. The fight was tough, but Lotad didn't do much mroe than growl at Apallo, and after a few tackle attacks I threw my pokeball and caught it! I nicknamed him Poseidon.

On my way through the road I ran into a Youngster named Calvin. He challenged me to a battle and I could hardly refuse. I started the battle with Apallo, but after fighting Poseidon he was pretty weak and didn't last long. I switched to Ares quickly to finish up Calvin's Zigzagoon and ended up winning 80 poke from the fight

I ran back to Oldale town since I was still close and healed my team up. I ran back to Route 102 right away, though, and ran into someone else. A Bug Catcher named Rick. He sent out a Wurmple against Apallo. The two tackled back and forth with Rick's Wurmple using a bunch of String Shots, so Apallo won in the end. Rick sent out another Wurmple and Apallo beat it also. He learned Poison Sting after the fight and Rick gave me 64 poke for winning.

After the battle I found some berries growing in the trees and picked them. I did'nt replant them since I don't know how long i'll be in the area and I don't know how often I'll be able to get back to them to keep them growing nice. I also switched Apollo with Poseidon so that I could train him up some.

Just in time too, since I ran into another Youngster, this one named Allen. He had a Poocheyena that wasn't horribly hurt by Poseidon, but switched to a Tailo that wasn't affected at all. I switched Poseidon with Ares and killed that Tailow in one critical hit and when he sent Poocheyena back out Ares beat him in a couple of attacks. After I won I headed for Petalburg and was almost there when I ran into a Lass named Tiana. Her Zigzagoon was immune to Poseidon's only damage-dealing attack so I had to swith to Ares again. She sent out a second Zigzagoon after Ares owned the first, and the second lost just as quickly

Finaly I made it to Petalburg and went right for the pokemon center. After my team was all healed up, I explored the city since I hadn't been there too many times. Everyone I talked to knew of my dad and admired him for how strong he was. I met some woman looknig for her son Wally and told her I'd keep an eye out for him, and when I was about to leave town some kid handing out flyers took me to my dad's gym and tried to tell me all about him. I guess I look more like my mom than my dad and the family resemblance didn't hit him.

Before I talked to dad I went to the PokeMart and got another Pokeball and a Paralyze heal. Then I went to see Dad. He said he was surprised to see that I made it there by myself. I swear....he's never gonna see me as anything but a kid is he? While we were talking some kid came barging in. It was Wally, my dad knew him. He wanted a pokemon so my dad sent me to help him catch it. Not only am I a child, but I'm a gopher also. I'll show him...

I went with Wally back out to Route 102 and almost instantly he found a pokemon. A Ralts of all things! How lucky could he be! He caught the pokemon and then we went back to the gym to talk to my dad. Wally left, saying he was moving to Verdanturf. Dad and I talked some more and he wouldn't fight me. He told me to go Rustburough and get some more badges before I came to fight him. I left and went back to the pokemon center to rest for the night. I'll head to Rustburo in the morning.

Dear Diary,

Late start today, but nothing interrupted me as I left Petalburg to Route 104. I was tempted to take a trip by the sea but instead headed for the grass to find a new team member and to train my pokemon up some more; Poseidon was still rather weak, and my entire team is vulnerable to Flying type moves. I ran into a Zigzagoon, but since Poseidon was first on my list the first round didn't really go well. I switched to Apallo to deal some damage to the Zigzagoon. First Poison Sting poisoned it, which is lucky for me. I threw a pokeball as soon as I thought it could be caught, and got it. I nicknamed him Zeus, gave it an Antidote then ran back to Petalburg to heal him and Apallo up.

I went back to the grass for some more training. I want to train Poseidon, but until he learns something besides Astonish he's not that effective against the local pokemon. I keep switching him out with Zeus and Apallo to try and level everyone up eavenly. I ran into a couple of Zigzagoons and a Tailow before heading back to the pokemon center for healing. The Nurse there was getting kinda nosy but I put her in her place. When I headed back to Route 104 and went to the beach I met a Youngster named Billy and we battled. Poseidon beat his Seedot, but when he sent out Tailow I had to use Ares to take him down. That battle was TOUGH though and I decided to call it a day for the sake of my pokemon. We slept in the Petalburg Pokemon Center again.

Dear Diary,

I didn't feel great today so I didn't stay out too long. I switched Zeus into first position to train him today. I left Petalburg and did some more exploring on Route 103. Ran into a Zigzagoon. Beat it. Ran into a Wurmple. Beat it too. I went back to town, healed my pokemon, then went to bed.
