Re: Nuzlocke Challenge
Time to revive this thread with a FireRed Nuzlocke run! Yay!
Now, I'm pretty terrible at Nuzlocke runs, honestly, so in order to make this a little easier on myself, I decided to go with my prefered starter this time around -- Squirtle. As of right now, I'm on "Day Three" of my journey, but right now I'm gonna give you a nice synopsis if I can remember to.
Here we go--
GREY'S JOURNEY
Day ONE
I made my way into the professor's laboratory where he presented to me a choice between three of his remaining pokémon -- a bulbasaur, a charmander, and a squirtle. His grandson, Green, was also there. Green's been somewhat of a rival of mine ever since we were little kids, but he had an (somewhat undeserved) ego on him. He let me choose my pokémon first (most likely so that he could choose the one with a type advantage).
It bothered me none, and I made my choice -- squirtle.
New catch!
LEVI

Bashful
I excitedly hugged the girl, promising the professor that I'd take care of her as best as I could. As I expected, Green decided to go with bulbasaur, and we immediately decided to have a pokémon battle right outside the lab! I was excited -- my first pokémon battle!
Without hesitation, we both called out our attacks in unison, and my tiny turtle did me proud. With a combination of tail whips and tackles, she KOed Green's grass pokémon with ease, and earned her first level up!
Green was a little bitter about the defeat, but kept his cool and left without saying much of anything. I was too happy to even pay attention. With our first victory on our belts, Levi and I made our way outside the city limits and into Rt. 1, where we'd find our own first wild encounters. Unfortunately, because I was sans any poké balls, I couldn't really capture anything. Oh well, at least it was good experience for Levi.
We finally reached the first stop on our voyage -- Viridian City. It was a virtual metropolis of sorts: the Capital of Kanto. There was a gym here, but I've been told that the leader here was way too strong for a first timer like me, so I avoided him like the plague. I decided my first stop was going to be the PokéMart to buy some balls.
...but the shopkeep made me run an errand, which led me back to the professor's lab. He took the parcel and gave me and Green (who, for some reason, decided to come back as well) a pair of Pokédexes and told us to record data on as many pokémon as we could as pennance for the pokémon we took. Wonderful.
On the bright side, at least he gave us some poké balls!
We said our goodbyes and I went back to the city, deciding that I had missed my chance to catch any pokémon on Rt. 1 based on a technicality. However, I knew that Rt. 22 wasn't too far from here, and I raced for the tall grass!
Enter my first pokémon catch: Ratatoskr.
RATATOSKR
M Rattata (Lv. 3)
@Run Away
Lax
...unfortunately, it wasn't meant to last. While I was grinding him, Ratatoskr took a swift critical tackle, and fell to his death prematurely. I was careless. I'm definitely going to hafta be more caref--
But then Green showed up and challenged me to another battle. Oh crap. Fortunately, Levi was more than enough to take on his pidgey and bulbasaur. At least she's prepared...
Only one day in my journey, and I've already killed something. This was going to be tough, definitely...
Team
Levi is somewhat of an oxymoron. She's nervous and bashful, but she's well versed in battling, and seems to have quite a knack for taking care of her opponents, even against type disadvantages. Lv. 11.
Deceased
Ratatoskr never got a moment to shine. He handled himself really well in the beginning, but couldn't brace himself enough for a pidgey's critical tackle. Farewell. Lv. 3 - 8.
