Many new members join, but some have fallen.
Castelia City
Forgot to fight the trainers in the Battle Company for an Exp. Share.
Here lies
PK Rockin (
Roggenrola), always Rockin. During the final battle in the Battle Company, his
Trubbish scored a Critical hit Sludge. STAB + Critical and the fact that Sludge is a Special move did
PK Rockin in.
PK Rockin made the second and third gym a breeze. She will not be forgotten.
RIP
PK Rockin (Level 11 - 22)
Route 4
On leaving
Castelia City had another battle with Bianca, then on
Route 4 had one with Cheren.
Desert Resort
Found a
Maractus (Level 20 Female) in the sand. Caught it and called her "
Gigaplant". I already have
Smugleaf, so Maractus probably won't be used.
Proceeded to beat all the trainers in the area.
Relic Castle
Found a
Yamask (Level 19 Female) in the Castle. Named her "
Brutality". A decent tank, and a Ghost type, she will continue where
PK Rockin left off.
But just as I found a replacement, another was lost.
One of the Psychics in
Relic Castle had a
Sigilyph. As part Flying, I thought
Blitzkrieg could take it out.
I was wrong.
All it took was one Psybeam.
Sigilyph is a beast.
RIP
Blitzkrieg (Level 8 - 23).
I took the
Plume fossil and left.
Nimbasa City
Fought some trainers, fought N after a Ferris Wheel ride, participated in a Pokemon musical. All that jazz.
Route 5
Caught a
Liepard (Level 22 Male), named him "
Nyan Cat", then beat up the trainers.
Route 16
Caught a
Solosis (Level 19 Female), named her "
E. coli", then beat up the trainers.
Time for some backtracking.
Nacrene City
Headed to the gym to revive the
Plume fossil. Received an
Archen (Level 25, Male). Named him "
Reborn" to both symbolize his rebirth from a fossil and his role on the team: A fast sweeper (
Blitzkrieg) and a Rock type to take normal hits (
PK Rockin).
PS: Nacrene City is an area that I had not caught a Pokemon in yet. Therefore, reviving the fossil still abides to the Nuzlocke Run rules. Although I would be exempt from reviving any other fossils.
Our new team is ready.
Route 3
Took back
Hi-Beaver from the Daycare, need him for HM's. Dropped off
Gigaplant and
E. coli in the Daycare. If more fall on the journey (which will most likely happen as the difficulty of the game is only escalating at this point) then I will have reserves up to par.
Nimbasa City
Sunglasses was the star of this gym, although half the Pokemon were Emolga (part Flying, so my Ground moves were useless). The gym leader was not a huge problem.
Had another battle with Cheren, and once again not a problem.
Route 5
Met "
The Champion", who has some crazy hair.
Driftveil Drawbridge
No wild Pokemon here...or so I thought.
Ran into a
Ducklett (Level 22, Female). Caught her and called her "
Crackers". A Water and Flying type is the perfect HM slave. Now I can keep Scald on
Pour Vous instead of replacing it with Surf, and I don't have to teach
Reborn Fly.
Driftveil City
Can't battle the gym leader until I find Team Plasma grunts. Explored the city and did everything I could. Had my first Triple Battle. As if Double battles weren't bad enough in a Nuzlocke run, Triple battles are just a nightmare. That middle Pokemon can get hit by 3 attacks, and that means a high chance of death.
Route 6
Found a
Karrablast (Level 22 Male). Caught and named him "
Wrench". Since he needs to be traded to evolve and be useful, he'll spend the rest of his days in the box.
As expected, can't advance any further until beating the gym.
Cold Storage
Caught a
Timburr (Level 25, Male) and named him "
Hard Wood". Finally a Fighting type. But I probably won't use him except to get a free Star Piece every day. Sad I didn't catch a
Vanillite though.
Went inside the giant freezer and found Team Plasma.
Driftveil City
This gym leader is no joke. I was lucky to take out
Excadrill without any casualties.
Pour Vous was the main star, but
Smugleaf helped take care of the
Palpitoads. I was considering to evolve
Pour Vous since it would have made the battle much easier, but I'll wait for now.
Had another battle with Bianca; she's still a pushover due to the type disadvantages.
