Gameplay Journal IllusionFox's Emerald Nuzlocke

I remembered that. I didn't say anything about those heals, so I'll be good to go. Now, I should probably look at her team for that battle on Bulbapedia and figure out what I should do... XD

Wait. Never mind, she'll be easy. Two grass types and a fire, yep she will get demolished-!

 

CHAPTER SIX: Its working!

So after I figured out Shadow for Sparkles pregnant in the Day Care, I moved on from Mauville. I battled all of the Trainers without difficulty. I got a lot of new Pokémon in this chapter, so I'm happy for some type diversity!

First one was a Geodude I found while Rock Smashing my way to the next part of the route. Named it "Pet Rock". In the box ya go (actually, all of these Pokémon went into the box).

Next was Marill on Route 112. Wtf, Game Freak. Why did you place a Water type near a volcano...? Nicknamed it "Azure".

Scorched Cave: Koffing. My first Poison Type yaaaaay. Named it "James", cuz he owned one in the original anime Im starting to run out of nickname ideas XD

Route 113: Spinda. I kinda overthought about this Pokémon, but it's moveset is rather interesting. Named it "Skullspin", after the Spinda that belonged to Team Skull in the Po Town PokeCenter.

FALLABOR TOWN! I totally dissed this place and kept on going with the plot.

Route 114: Swablu! YES! I really wanted one of these! Named it "Cottonwings".

Meteor Falls: Zubat. I'm not as excited for this guy, but hey, Crobat's cool. Named it "Achrobatic", after @[member="Achromatic"]'s Zubats of past nuzlockes.

Did the Meteor Falls stuff, and headed over to Mt. Chimney. But first, some highlights of the grinding!

1. Guts is now a Hariyama, a 'big' help for the Teams and Norman.
2. A Koffing used Selfdestruct and I got really scared that Guts would die.
3. It didn't.
4. Indigo is now above Level 30, YAAAAY!

Okay, Mt. Chimney! I battled through the easy Magma Grunts and Admin, and battled Maxie! With ease, of course. The only Pokémon I seemed to have a hard time with was his Mightyena, but the others I was able to OHKO them.

So onward to Lavaridge Town! Jagged Pass Pokémon: Numel, a Fire Type! I've been waiting for it! Named it "Flamel". Flame Camel.

And now I'm in Lavaridge, where in the next chapter I'll take on Flannery's Gym! See you guys next time!

(One thing! About Plant. What should I evolve it into, Vileplume or Bellosom? If you could help make a difference between their stats, that would help clear up some stuff XD)

CHAPTER SEVEN: Burn, baby burn!

It's time to fight Flannery and receive her badge! Let's goooooooooo!

I hate her Gym. Not that it's hard, but the way it's laid out. It's probably my least favorite of the gyms here, except maybe Juan's (it's been a while since I last played Emerald)...?

After several frustration-causing moments, I FINALLY see Flannery.


[3d='numel'][3d='slugma'][3d='camerupt'][3d='torkoal']

Such an easy battle with Fin. All OHKOs (except for Torkoal, who was a pain in the ass) with Mud Shot and Water Gun, and the only one who I didn't really like was her Torkoal and it's Attract. I hated it so much. But luckily none of my Pokémon fainted to it! So now I (still legally) earned the Heat Badge!



So now I'm gonna have to take a break for now. One other thing though; Plant evolved into a Gloom! And until I get Surf, I can't get the Leaf Stone needed to evolve it into Vileplume...:tear: but it shouldn't be too long now!

DED Pokémon:

Still none!

BADGES (4/8)

 

I'm not really sure. All I know is that you can get one on Route 119 when you Surf downwards at that spot right after the Weather Institute.

And I would really like to see you do a nuzlocke! You give out a lot of tips, and I'm sure that you'd do well on it!


Oh, and I forgot to say one more thing about Fin. I taught him Rock Tomb, so he should do good in the battle against Winona (the Gym Leader that I hate so much). I'm so excited to get Fly! I BELIEVE I CAN HM02!!!

 

CHAPTER EIGHT: You your Daddy's son! (Literally, I am.)

So after Lavaridge, I went ahead and went to the desert area. I caught a Trapinch and nicknamed it "Ackbar", like the Star Wars character. I also battled some Trainers for grinding, and got the Claw Fossil from the Mirage Tower, but then I felt like I was ready for Norman.

So I went to Petalburg, Guts at the front of my team, ready to Arm Thrust my way through this. And I did. So time for Norman!

His first three Pokémon, a Spinda, Vigoroth, and Linoone were super easy. OHKO. Then there was his infamous Slaking, whom I was not wanting to see. One Vital Throw, which surprisingly went first, and then

it happened.

Slaking used Counter, instantly killing Guts. Then I sent out Indigo, who died a few turns after that. Shedinja was next with a Faint Attack. Even Fin fell from a Facade. Plant was close to killing it after poisoning it, but died by Facade. And all that was left was Rocket.

Poor little Level 7 Rocket.

So this ends my Emerald nuzlocke. I had a lot of fun doing this, even though I lost at the fifth gym. BUT FEAR NOT! I plan on trying out something I call a "Speedlocke" (crappy name), and I will probably start that soon (I just have to figure out what game I should do it on XD)!

Thanks for the support guys, and I hope that you guys see me again in the Pokémon Journals section!
