Welcome to Gaia! ::

For those of you who don't know what a Nuzlocke Challenge in I must address you to this site: www.nuzlocke.com or I must insist that you google it. MY brief description is it's a playthough of a Pokemon game that follows specific rules. My rules for this nuzlocke are:

1)Can only catch the first pokemon that appears in each area.

2)When a Pokemon dies it must be released, or permanently boxed.

3)All Pokemon must have a nickname.

4)If there is a black/white out it is game over. No second chances

5)No using masterballs
.
6)Legendaries must be killed.



I was soundly asleep when I had the most peculiar dream. A women named Juniper was questioning me. She asked if I was male or female and my only reply was "Are you serious?" She looked puzzled with her reply "Girl?" Angrily I shouted "I AM A BOY!" She pulled out a clipboard and marked down something and then she asked my name. I cooled down enough, thinking this dream is odd, I told her my name. "Ah, Z, that's fitting, short name for a boy whose adventures will be cut short" she said. "Wait...what?" I questioned, but instead of giving me an answer she said "We'll meet each other soon enough, see ya soon Z" and she vanished.



The morning after I had a dream, I awoke to notice my friend Cheren (such a sissy name for a guy) standing over a package on my table.

"Hey, Z, Z, Z, Z-" he hums annoyingly.

"WHAT THE HELL!? WHY ARE YOU HERE WHILE I'M ASLEEP!?" I shout.

"You got a package from that new professor lady, Juniper was it?" he replied.

"WAIT HOW THE HELL DID SHE LEAVE A PACKAGE HERE BEFORE I'M AWAKE?!"

I needed answers and if I didn't get them soon heads were going to start hitting the ground hard.

"Well, she gave it to your mom, saying something about how she's noticed the 3 of us coming of age to start a journey in the wonderful world of Pokemon or something. Your mom called my house and Belle's house to tell that Juniper gave us a gift to start our Journey." he said.

"Oh, well that seems perfectly logical." I sarcastically replied.

Just then Belle enters my room "Sorry I'm late guys, I had some...um...stuff to take care of..." she gave her usually excuse.

"What took you so long Belle it's time to open whatever the Professor left for u-"

Cheren was cut off by Belle

"MY NAME IS BIANCA NOW!"

Cheren questioned "Why?"

She replied "Pokemon USA".

"What in the name of Arceus is that?" I asked.

"Not a clue, but all I know is my name is Bianca now." Bianca replied.

"Okay enough of the chit-chat let's open this box" Cheren said.

"Okay, well I'll get to open it since it's in my room, in my house, any objections?" I said.

Neither of them had any so I opened the box. It had a card inside and 3 pokeballs each containing a different pokemon. The letter read "Here's some pokemon to begin your monotonous quest-Professor Juniper". "Well since I get first picks I'm gonna choose the toughest guy outta the bunch" I thought as I looked them all over. "Ah-ha" I exclaimed as I picked up a pokeball that had a little orange pig inside of it.

"I choose this guy and I'm gonna call him...Mr. Bacon" I announced.

Bianca chose the smug looking green guy saying "Isn't he just adorable?".

"Yeah if you like douchebag looking pokemon" Cheren replied as he looks in the box to see a retarded blue pokemon in the box.

"How come I get the retard?" He whined.

"Well look at the bright side at least it's color coated to match you" Bianca said.

"Oh ha ha." he retorted.

"Anyway if you're done QQing why not have a pokemon battle?" Bianca said.

"Your on!" Cheren said.

So they both decided to challenge me and not each other...oh, great. Bianca was taken out in a split instant, my Mr. Bacon struck out the douchebaggy green Snivy in 2 hits. Cheren healed up Mr. Bacon before he tried to take it out, but my Mr. Bacon put the Tackle down on his Osshatwat with one Critical hit.

"Well that's tha-HOLY s**t WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY ROOM!?" I excalaimed.

"He he...looks like pokemon battles do a lot of damage indoors..." Bianca said.

"Hey, let's see if your mom will do it, use I'm a growing boy and I'm gonna start my pokemon journey." Cheren said.

"Fine, cause I'm not gonna do it anyway." I said.

So we went down stairs rushed out the door as I yelled "Hi mom, wehadapokemonbattleinmyroomandneedyoutocleanupcausei'mgonnabecomeapokemonmaster, bye mom"

"Okay honey" she replied.

We walked up to the Pokemon lab. We opened the door and Professor Juniper pops out of nowhere "Hey, I've been expecting you here, take these pokedexs and meet me at route 1" she says and then walks out of the lab. "What the f$2%" I thought as we followed along...





As we approached Route 1, Cheren gave one of his explanations about pokemon and such.

"She gave us, pokedexs, which are basically electronic pokemon encylopedias that unlock a pokemon's data as you catch it and records what pokemon you've seen." explains Cheren.

"Well that explains everything" I reply sarcastically.

We approach Professor Juniper on route 1. "Now I'm gonna teach you how to catch the pokemon, here take these balls" she hands us some pokeballs and walks into the tall grass only to get vicously mauled by wild patrats. "Well I guess class is out for today."







One trip to the hospital later we wind up back on route 1 so the nutty professor can teach us to catch pokemon. A wild lilipup appears before us and she sends out a Mincinno. Mincinno beats the living s#17 out of the poor thing and then she throws a pokeball at it. "And that's how it's done." we all look in awe as we just saw two animals beat the hell out of each other. "Anyway see you guys in the next town. Catch some pokemon or some stuff like that and meet me at the pokemon center. Bye." She walks off and disappears amongst the tall grass. "Well okay let's start this thing." I say hesitantly as we begin our pokemon journey.





Pokemon/Stats: Tepid-Mr.Bacon-Level 6-Relaxed Nature

Night begins to fall as I say goodbye to Accumula town. I heard from Cheren that the next town is called Striaton City, and the it's the first stop for new trainers to test their strength and earn a Gym Badge against the Gym leader. It was as if I had no other choice than to be on my way then.





As I take my first steps onto the dimly lit Route 2, I hear a familiar voice...OH DEAR GOD IT'S MY MOTHER! Shockingly she only stopped me to give me my running shoes and left. The whole conversation felt devoid of any emotion as if she wasn't my mother at all. I shrugged it off and carried on knowing that I need to be the best, the best there ever was. While on the way I had a chance to get a new friend, but Al Capone murdered him only saying "This team ain't big enough for two Patrats" then he pulled out the CD player, and I bet you know where this is going. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPFCHuEegsk)





Al Capone and "Ms. Bacon" were soaked in the blood of their grinding victims. We approached the oddly small city and were about to enter when an eerie feeling filled us...Bianca.

"HAI GAIZ! GAIZ! HAI GAIZ!" She shouted to us.

"Ugh...what is it Bianca" I mumbled.

"We should have a pokemon battle! Let's do it!" Bianca chirped annoyingly.

"Fine let's get it over and done with." I groaned.

"I got this." Bacon said as she pointed to herself and looked at me.

"Alright, the sooner we can get to Castelia, the sooner we can change your name "Ms.Bacon"" I replied.

"Ms. Bacon" tackles Bianca's Lillipup to near comatose as she tried to potion it up, and made a burnt salad out of Snivy.

"Okay, you win!" Bianca cried.

"You did good "Ms. Bacon" now let's go to the gym." I said.

"Good job, kid" Al Capone said as we walked up to the Pokemon Center to heal up before challenging the Gym.





Al Capone looks over to the gym as we exit the Pokemon Center.

"Hey what's that mooks big idea blocking the doorway to the gym, we got some gym a** ta kick" he said.

"I don't know I'll check it out." I replied.

I walked up to the gym the guy spoke "Hey you!"

"Me?" I questioned.

"Yeah you, you're Z right, Blue jacket, Black and White Cap, a kid named Cheren was looking for you." He said.

The only thought in my head was "Oh god, not another battle."

"He's over at the Pokemon School of Noobs, if you want to find him." He said.

"Thanks...I guess." was the only thing I could reply.

I just wanted to fight the damned Gym Leader by this guy is blocking my way and Cheren probably wants to battle me like Bianca did. What to do?

"Well let's go kick da twerps a$$ and get da hell in dat gym ta beat da Gym Leada" Al Capone said.

"I guess you're right." I replied as we marched over towards the Trainer School o' Noobs.





Al Capone busts through the door and I just follow behind.

"ALIGHT, WHERES DIS HERE CHEREN PANSY AT!?" he yells.

"I'm not a pansy rat" Cheren snarls at Al Capone.

"I'd like to see you say dat afta I'm through witchya" Capone retorts.

"Bring it, let's go Osshawott.

"Let me 'andle dis business boy." He smirks and pulls out a tomi gun.

"Try some of my new and improved bite ya little Osshatwat" he grins and fires as teeth fly out.

Osshawott faints with a face full of teeth.

"Be lucky it wasn't no bullets." Al Capone smirks.

Cheren sends out Purrloin next.

"Time ta put this kitty down for a cat nap" Al Capone puts the smack down on Cheren's Purrloin.

"ENOUGH! you homicidal Rodent" Cheren screams gathering his Pokemon and rushing towards the Pokemon Center.

"And dat's the end of dat chapter, time to hit the gym" Al Capone dusts his hands off and we exit the Trainer School and head for the Gym.





Round 2 with going to the Gym, and someone's still blocking the way.

"OH MY FLIPPIN; ARCEUS, WHY IS DERE SOME GREEN HAIRED PRISSY BOY BLOCKIN' DE WAY" Al Capone yelled.

"Excuuuse me, you mild mannered little rat, I am the Gym Leader of this City, and I ain't the only one either. So come on in and challenge us, but before you do that you better go brush up on you skills in the dream lot over there. You'll need it. Ha"

He points over to the dream lot and walks into the gym.

"Think we should brush up on some scrubs before challenging the big guy?" I asked.

"I'M GONNA RIP DAT PRISSY BOY'S POKEMON TA SHREDS" Al Capone just wouldn't calm down, so I put him in his pokeball to chill out for a bit.





"Ms. Bacon" followed me into the Dreamlot. "Alright "Ms.Bacon" you are the toughest member of the team, but you're behind a few levels so it's all you. Tear through 'em" I said as a trainer approaches us for a battle. "Ms. Bacon" simply knocks the trains Purrloins out and then takes out a youngsters Patrats and Lilipup. "Well you did need the experience" I smirked as we approached a kid who didn't appear to be a trainer.

"Hey you're a trainer right? And I can see you started with a Tepig. Want this free Pokemon. It's a Grass Monkey called Pansage" She chirped.

"Sure, but I'm gonna name him SteveIrwin." I replied.

I call him out of his Pokeball along with Al Capone.

"Al Capone, I'm happy to announce we can go fight the gym leader now." I say.

"FINALLY FOR F%$# SAKE!" He yells.

"Crikey, check out the mouth on this bugger" SteveIrwin says.

"Who de hell is dis Aussie boy!?" Capone demanded.

"Our new team mate, SteveIrwin, cause three's company" I said.

"Yeah but four's a crowd" Al Capone snidely replied.

"Well let's get going to the gym guys." I said as we walked back towards Striaton City Gym.





We stepped through the big doors on the Gym's Structure.

"Crikey, this ain't a gym"Steve said.

"IT'S A FLIPPIN' RESTARUNT" Al yelled.

The guy who was blocking the door noticed us and said

"Hey sorry about before, I'm Jim Guy, my brothers and I give trainers challenging the gym a few tips and a fresh water to referesh yourselves during battle."

"Uh-huh..." was the only thing I could say.

"So you see that curtain there and how it has a symbol on it." I nod as he points it out

"Well there's 3 buttons on the floor and one of those buttons will open the curtains. It's all based on Water beat Fire, Fire beats Grass, and Grass beats Water. It's really simple you just have to go out there and do it." he finishes.

I just simply nod and trudge forth. We make it past the first curtain just to have found a Trainer/Waiter waiting to battle us. "Ms. Bacon" took care of him and the other one write after that. The third room was finally the Gym Leader, but wait...THERE ARE 3 OF THEM!

"Sorry you won't get to battle me, I know your ill-mannered rat wanted to but you will have to battle my brother, Cress" the prissy green haired gym leader smirks.

"Oh hiiiii, I'm like totes super glad that I getta battle you this will be SUPER" he exclaims flamboyantly. "Fine den, bring it one" Al Capone says as Cress sends out Lillipup. "Isn't he just so omega adorable?" Cress says.

"Not when I'm trough wit it." smirks Al Capone.

"Looks like you're gonna use bite again I'm I right" I said.

"Damn straight." he smirks as Lillipup eats the floor with a face full of teeth marks.

"OH NOOO THIS IS SO NOT FABULOUS" Cress cries out as he sends in Panpour.

"Oh a water type, well I have the perfect counter meassure for that.

"SteveIrwin go hunt that thing down" I call.

"Crikey boss, I'm on it" Steve says as he snaps out his vine whips and finishes Cress's Panpour.

"Looks like you just got your butt...whipped". I gloated in victory as we were presented with out first badge of the Unova League.

I depart the city and start heading down route 3 when a particular bunch of kids catch my eye. Little did I know they were vicious Pokemon battling monsters. I did the only thing that came natural to me now.

"Al Capone, dust 'em" I said.

The children cried to their teacher as Al Capone beat their pokemon. The teacher called out a Lillipup and Munna. Al Capone pulled out his tomigun and grinned

"I don't bite..." he said as he fired his bite gun.

"...I kill" he finished.

After they were defeated the teacher allowed us to stop by anytime to recover. We rested up and continued along our journey.



There came a fork in the road. One path leading to a cave and the other one seemed to be leading to the next town. I was about to head to the next time when I was stopped by a voice. "Hey Z, I'm ready for another battle." it said.

I turned around slowly only to see Cheren awaiting a battle with his pokemon at the ready.

"You want to battle then let's battle." I said angrily as I sent out SteveIrwin.

"Crikey, time to take these critters out" Steve said as he unleashed a Vine Whip upon Cheren's Osshawott.

Next up was Cheren's Purrloin with Steve attacked with a barrage of Fury Swipes.

"Looks like Purrloin got cat stratch fever" Steve said as he finished it off.

"You just keep getting better don't you." Cheren said.

I replied "It's not me it's my Pokemon." A

fter that was said a team of Team Plasma grunts push us out of the way to run towards the cave. Following them along is Bianca and a little girl

"CHEREN! Z!" Bianca calls.

"STOP THEM! THEY TOOK THIS LITTLE GIRL'S POKEMON!" she yells again.

Cheren turns to me and I look back, we nod as we begin the pursuit of the grunts.



We reach the cave where they ran into.

"Are you ready to get the girl's Pokemon back?" Cheren turned to ask me.

"As I'll ever be" I reply as we head into the cave.

We get confronted by two goons "NO KIDS ALLOWED!" they yelled.

"We'll leave when you give back that pokemon you stole." I said.

"Well looks like we'll have to take care of this the hard way." they said as they sent out Patrats.

Cheren took care of one while "Ms. Bacon" char broils the other.

Just then two more goons come along "What, you can't take care of two kids? Step Aside" they said as they keep sending in Patrats.

Out of all the pokemon in the world why do they only have Patrat?

Cheren and I team up and create steamed Patrat with an Flame Charge and Water Gun combination.

"Now are you going to return the Pokemon or not?" I ask as Al Capone cracks his knuckles.

They look at me in terror as they nod. They hand Cheren the Pokmon and run away.

"Good work Z, I'm going to go return this Pokemon to the little girl." he says as he leaves the cave.

Now that that's over I decided to explore the cave for a little bit. It was there that I met the newest addition to the team, a Woobat. I chucked the pokeball at it and without a beep it was captured. FLAWLESS VICTORY FRIENDSHIP! I named our new partner "Amelia" like Amelia that Amelia Airheart person. We left the cave after that.



We continued along our journey through Route 3 only to be stopped by Cheren again, but he didn't want to battle. He just said something about dark grass having two pokemon instead of one or something stupid like that, I didn't bother to pay attention. Amelia was flying high in the sky when suddenly I start hearing music coming from the direction of "Ms. Bacon". By now I'm guessing it was training time, but just as we were about to start I noticed an injured Blitzle and walked over to it.

"Hey there, don't be afraid. I'm here to help." I lay a pokeball beside it and that's how Janet joined the party.

Now that I had a full team and I had everyone healed up and ready to go training commenced (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jK-NcRmVcw) during the training "Ms. Bacon" started to glow.

"Eh dollface what's happenin' to ya" Al Capone asked.

"Ms. Bacon" looked shocked as she started to change.

As the glowing faded an Omnipresent voice announced "Mr. Bacon has evolved into Pignite".

"Oh so this is evolution!" I said astounded.

The other pokemon looked at "Ms. Bacon" impressively.

Al Capone grabbed my collar and pulled me down. "How do I do dat?"

I looked at my pokedex then looked at him and replied "Training."

"Alrighty den back ta trainin'!" Al Capone and the others got back to kicking the snot out of other pokemon, but to their effort none of them had evolved so we just continued on to Nacrene City and the adventures that await us there.

It was a rough night. We all had trouble sleeping after the events of yesterday. Amelia hovered overhead.
"You gotta cheer up Boss." she said.
"Yeah, but it's difficult." I replied.
"We gotta keep on flying for his sake. Isn't that was you said?" She gave a weak smile.
"Your right!" I said.
A new flame was set ablaze in my heart.
"Alright guys! LET'S MAKE TODAY COUNT!" I announce to my partners.

We stepped outside only to here the screams of help. Team plasma runs off into the distance by a near by forest.
"Stop them! They stole the Dragon Skull!" the Museum Director calls out.
Lenora comes from outside the museum and starts chasing.
"Ouch!" she said as she fell after bumping into someone.
"Sorry...Oh Burgh!" Lenora said shocked.
"Oh hi Lenora, what's with those guys running?" Burgh asked.
"They stole a skull from the museum! I gotta stop them" Lenora announced and ran off.
"Let me help you" he said and chased.
I just stood there puzzled by the events. I was about to go training when the Museum Director comes up to me.
"Can you help get that skull back?" he asked.
"Eh, sure...I guess" I said begrudgingly and walked in the direction of the chase.

While following the chase I came across a group of Timburr. One noticed me and suddenly attacked. This one was bigger than the others so I decided I wanted to catch it.
"Crikey, let me take care o' this 'ere bloak" Steve said as he jumped into battle.
"Just be careful Steve" I said.
"Don' worry mate" he winked back at me and unleashed Fury Swipe after Furry Swipe.
The timburr just stood there biding it's time. Steve unleashed another Fury Swipe and then Timburr stood and was about to begin the attack. In fear of losing Steve I threw a Pokeball catching the Timburr instantly.
"Crikey mate, good job!" he said with a wink.
Now what to name her. I think I'll name her Helga.
I let her out of the ball.
"Welcome to the team Helga." I said.
"Shut it baseball cap!" she snarled.
"Crikey what the bloody hell's your problem mate." Steve intervined.
"I don't want a weak trainer." She glared at me.
"Z is not weak!" Steve yelled.
"Oh really! Then why'd he cry when buried that Patrat!" He yelled back.
Rage took hold of me when she said that. I raised my hand and slapped her. My other pokemon backed away in shock that I could do something so cruel.
"THAT WASN'T JUST ANY PATRAT! THAT WAS AL CAPONE! HE WAS AN VALUED MEMBER OF THIS TEAM! AND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO VALUED THEN I'LL JUST RELEASE YOU!" I couldn't control my rage against this Timburr.
"That's more like it." She grinned.
"Sorry about getting you pissed, I just needed to know you had it in you" she continued.
Tears filled my eyes as I started to calm down. I'm not over the death of Al, I don't think I will be. My partners tried to console me.
"Sorry guys..." I said.
"It's okay. We understand." "Ms.Bacon." said.
After the intervention we had we carried on closer than ever, but not before a minor training session. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rfJ2JSWAM0)

The quick grinding session came to an end and we carried on the search for that skull that got stolen, so we entered the Pinwheel Forest. I instantly facepalm at the sight of all the Team Plasma members playing keep away with the Gym Leaders.
"Hiiiii" I hear a voice say and look around puzzled.
"Over here" it says again and I turn around to see a cottonee.
"My name Stich." the cottonee said.
"Hello Stich! Would you like to join me?" I ask it.
It looks and nods then tackles me.
"Ouch" I whimper as the it tackled harder than expected.
"I'm so cute I'm FLUFFY!" Stich yells.
"Um...Stich, I kinda can't carry you around with me even though you are awesome and all. Mind allowing me to teleport you to the PC where I can call on you later?"
"Stich okay with this!" It says as it nods.
"Alright Stich you'll join me later" I say as I press the transport button on my pokedex.
"Okay now time to fight these plasma guys." I say and give chase to them fighting gallantly one after another.
"HI HO BACON AWAAAAAAAY!" I yell as "Ms.Bacon" sets a blaze all Team Plasma's pokemon in it's trail.
"AAAAAAHHHHH!" the Plasma grunt screamed as we approached.
"Hey Punk! You gonna give back the Skull or not!" Helga said cracking her knuckles.
"Hold it!" an old man's voice came from behind me.
"We'll give back the skull, we didn't need it anyway. By the way I'm one of the seven sages of Team Plasma. Remember that, if you're nice I may put in a good word for when we conquer the world. Bye now." the old man says as he hands me the skull and leaves with the rest of the Plasma grunts.
As they leave Burgh and Lenora come up to me.
"Oh you got the skull back!" Lenora says.
"Cool dude!" Burgh says.
"Um...here?" I say handing Lenora the skull.
"Thanks, here's a moonstone and this is Burgh the next gym leader you'll be facing in Castelia City." Lenora says as she hands me a moonstone.
"What's this used for?" I ask.
"Ah moonstone is a very rare evolution rock that allows certain pokemon evolve. A good example is Munna. Munna use Moonstone to evolve into Musharna. There are many different types of evolution stones and many different types of evolutions out there. Well I guess I'll be taking this skull back to the museum and I guess Burgh will be heading back to his gym." she says.
"Yeah I'll be heading back, you can challenge me there Z" Burgh says as they both depart.
""Ms. Bacon" did you hear that?" We can get your name changed in the next town!" I say cheerfully to "Ms. Bacon"
She instantly perks up as we head to the next stop, Castelia City!

We continued to train furiously, until we found ourselves back in Nacrene.
"How the hell did we wind up back here?" I asked.
"Not a clue." Ms. Piggy said.
I wandered about for a bit, but Stitch ran off into someone's house.
"STITCH COME BACK!" I yell and give chase.
I find Stitch nuzzling a young girl.
"Is this your pokemon" she asked giggling.
"Yeah his name's Stitch, he's really a nice pokemon" I reply.
"You want him back don't you?' she pouts.
"Yeah, we're kind of a team." I said.
"What if I traded you a friend of mine to take Stitch's place. A friend for a friend." she suggests.
I take a look at Stitch's face. He seems to really enjoy her company.
"Excuse me, but I don't know your name, mine's Z." I introduce myself.
"I'm Lilo" she grin's.
"Well Lilo, seeing how Stitch seems to like you so much I'll take you up on that trade." I force a smile.
At least if I trade Stitch I know he won't die.
"But I need you to promise me something. Can you do that?" I ask.
"What" Lilo asks.
"Can you give him the best life possible?" I said.
"I sure can, I'll love him, and cuddle with him every night, I'll take good care of him." she says.
"Here's his pokeball he's all yours." I said giving her the pokeball.
She hands me a pokeball in return.
"This is my friend Lillil she's been wanting to go on a journey but she's been to modest to go. Take good care of her please?" she says.
"I will" I say leaving the house holding back my tears saying bye to Stitch. I'm sure he'll be happier with her.

I went back to training shortly thereafter.
"Alright Janet and Clay, we need you guys to boost up some levels."
"Okaaaaaaaaay" Clay says flamboyantly.
"Alright." Janet says.
Clay uses Psybeam on random Pokemon.
"Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself." he says as he confuses his opponents.
"Good job, Clay!" I said.
"Where's Janet at?" I asked.
"I don't knooooow" Clay says.
"I thought she was with you." I said.
Suddenly a loud crash is heard.
We follow the sound. Our faces were shocked with what we saw.
"JANEEEEEET!" I yelled.
She was surrounded by Timburr and couldn't get away. She was severly injured enough already.
"JANEEEEEET!" I yell again.
She turns to me and yells back.
"This is the end for me Master!"
Those were her final words as the Timburr deliver the final blow.
"CLAY SHOW NO MERCY PSYBEAM!" The Timburr that killed Janet destroyed themselves.
I run over to Janet.
"I'm sorry Janet, I took my eyes off you and let you down. Rest in peace now."

"The world is not always Black and White."

Another team mate down, but we couldn't stop there. We needed more training. If we get finished off here then how the hell will we be able to defeat Burgh! We must keep going on. We have to keep going for them.
"Alright guys! We gotta keep moving!" I announce as we say goodbye to another ally.
"Boss, you should let me take care of some of these poke punks!" Helga said.
"You think you can handle it Helga?" I ask.
"I know I can" she smirks.
Just then bubbles surround Helga.
"Helga!? are you okay?" I call.
The bubbles disappear and there lies Helga.
"Not another one. DAMN YOU!" I yell.
"How many more have to die!?" I ask angrily.
"How many more of my friends lives must be sacrificed for this quest?!" I ask again.
"HOW MANY!? HUH!?" I yell into the sky.

We can't keep losing friends and partners. We just can't that's why we train. We train in order to not lose them but we still lose them in the training. Yesterday Amelia, today Janet and Helga. How many more must die for this quest to become a Pokemon Master.
"Lillil, Lilo entrusted me to keep you alive, but I'm afraid I can't do that, will you at least help me by staying stong so we can win." I say to Lillil.
"Don't worry, Lilo read me books about the hardships of quests, but we are a family so we'll get through it." Lillil says,
"Your right" I say patting Lillil on the head.
"Let's get a move on guys" I say.
We head back over the Skyarrow Bridge and onward to Castelia City.

We enter the Gym Building. The interior looks like a hive.

"Hey champs in the making." a man that looks like Jim Guy called to us.

"This is a hive themed gym and my name is Jim Guy, you may have seen me in previous Gyms well those are my brothers. We're Octoplets." he said.

"Well that's convenient" I said.

"Very, well any way to get through this gym you must step on the buttons to make the lights above each gate light up. Both lights had to be lit for the gate to open." he says.

"In order to get through that Jelly-like substance you just have to use your strength and keep moving. Don't worry about a mess none of it will get on you." he contines.

"And here's a Fresh Water to begin you challenge" he finishes.

I turn to my pokemon.

"Ms. Piggy I want you to lead us through this gym. Looking at the theme I believe it's bug type and you'll have the advantage."

"Alrighty leave it to me boss man." Ms.Piggy says.

"Why do you guys keep calling me boss? I'm your friend. Just call me Z." I said.

"We can do this Z!" she says.

I nod and we charge through the gym. Our path burned before us as we arrived infront of Burgh.

"Whoa dude, that was fast man." Burgh said as he saw me before him.

"Are you ready to get this battle done?" I ask

"Certainly dude, Whirlipede go!" he calls out.

"Ms. Piggy burn our path to victory! Flame charge!" I call out to Ms. Piggy.

"Hiiiiya!" she shouts as Whilirpede goes down.

"Whoa, those flames man! are intense!" He says in amazement.

"Alright then time to put some dirt on that fire, Dwebble go!" he calls out a Dwebble.

"Ms.Piggy you know what to do." I said.

"Hiiiiiya!" she scorches Dwebble into charcoal.

"Whoa dwebble barbeque! Nice." he said.

"Alright dude, your making me use my Ace, Leavanny go!" he calls out his final pokemon.

"Ms. Piggy" I said.

She nods as she roasts it to bits with a final Flame Charge.

"Whoa dude, nice battling, here take this badge,you deserve it" Burgh says and hands me the Insect Badge.

"Another gym down now it's time to head to the next one" I thought to myself as I left the gym.



My xtranceiver starts ringing. I wonder who it is so I look...It's Bianca.

"HEY Z I'VE BEEN TRAINING SO I'LL BE WAITING TO BATTLE YOU ON YOUR WAY TO THE NEXT TOWN CHEREN TOO!" she yells into the xtranciever.

I hang up.

"Oh my Arceus, won't that girl just quit battling me. Same with Cheren. I know we need to train with each other to test out strength, but still..." I said.

"Crikey, looks like these mates are a pain in the butt." Steve says.

"Yeah, but if they're going to stay in the way until we beat 'em then we gotta beat 'em" I said.

"Crikey mate you sure are detirmined." Steve says.

"Um...Z..." Lillil speaks up.

"Yeah Lillil" I say.

"This adventure is great ,but I don't think I'm much cut out as a battler." Lillil says.

"Don't be so modest Lillil, you're great." I say.

"Really?" she asked smiling.

"Yeah, I'm sorry I haven't been battling with you more, it's just I want to keep you safe for Lilo" I said.

Lillil nuzzles up to me as if you give me a hug. "Thank you" she says.

"Alright you guys ready to face my childhood rivals?"

They nod and we head off.



"Bianca!" I call out to Bianca as I see her outfront of the Route 4 transistion station.

"Z YOU READY FOR THE BATTLE" She shouts.

"Let's do this!" I say.

"HERDIER SICK 'IM" she calls out her Herdier.

"Ms.Piggy you know what to do." Ms.Piggy smacks away the Herdier with Arm Thrust.

"Hiiiiya!" Ms.Piggy shouts as Herdier goes down.

"MUNNA IT'S YOUR TURN!" Bianca calls out her next Pokemon.

"Hiiiiiiya!" Ms. Piggy shouts as she dishes out a Flame charge on Munna.

As Munna faints it lets out a Yawn.

Ms. Piggy falls asleep.

"What they heck?" I say.

"Ms. Piggy come back." I withdraw Ms. Piggy.

"SteveIrwin let's do this." I call out Steve

"PANPOUR WASH THEM AWAY!" Bianca calls out Panpour.

"Crikey, another one" Steve says.

"Take this mate!" Steve says as he throws out a Seed Bomb.

Panpour goes down.

"LET'S GO MY SERVINE!" she shouts out as Servine comes out.

"Clay Aiken let's do this." I call out Clay Aiken.

"I don't feel like it" Munna says with a yawn.

Servine falls asleep.

"Fine, then Ms.Piggy go!" I call out Ms.Piggy again and she wakes up.

"Hiiiiiiya!" she yells angrily as she unleashes a Flame Charge.

With that the battle was over. Bianca ran away in tears and I carried on to go face against Cheren.



We step through the transition station only to walk right into a desert.

"How the hell is there a desert in between two cities?" I ask bewildered.

My pokemon just shrug.

"Hey Z glad you could make, let's battle." Cheren's calls out.

"Cheren don't you think we should battle in a place less sandy?" I called back.

"Nope.avi!" he replied.

"That's it if I win this battle you aren't allowed to use internet memes when you speak!"

"Bring it!" he said.

"Ms. Piggy dust him!" I call out to Ms.Piggy

"Pidove go!"" Cheren calls out a Pidove.

"Ms. Piggy dust 'em" I call out.

"Hiiiiya!" she shouts as she makes roasted Pidove.

"Dewott, it's your turn" Cheren calls out his next pokemon.

"SteveIrwin, take care of it!" I call onto Steve.

"Crikey!" Steve says as he uses Seed Bomb.

Dewott goes down and without a word Cheren sends out Pansear.

"Ms. Piggy get it quickly." I call out to Ms.Piggy

"Hiiiya!" Ms.Piggy shouts again.

Pansear goes down and he sends out Liepard.

"Alright Piggy, you know how to handle this!" I say.

With that the Liepard goes down.

"Why can't I beat you?" Cheren asks.

"I guess I'm just lucky" I say.

With that the Xtranciever rings again. It's Juniper this time. Cheren's rings too.

"Hey, meet me at the end of Route 4, okay, bye!" Juniper says and hangs up.

"Well I guess I'll go on ahead, seeya there Z." Cheren says.

Now that I'm alone it's time to go find some new friends.

I turn to my pokemon.

"Ready to find some new partners?"

They look pleased as they nod.



As we brave the strong sands of Route 4 we hear a voice.

"You can do it man. Don't believe in yourself, but believe in the me that believes in you!"

I follow where the sound came from.

"We will drill a path straight to the heavens!"

The voice is coming from a Sandile.

"Hey!" I shout out the Sandile.

"Hello!" it replies.

"Well you're friendly aren't you. What's your name?" I ask the Sandile.

"My brothers call me Kamina!" he says!

"We're looking for a new partner for our team, how would you like to join us?" I asked.

"An adventure to unkown places?" he asked.

"Yeah" I replied.

"Sure would!" He agrees gleefully.

He nudged off one of my pokeballs and hopped into it.

"Well looks like he takes things into his own hands." I giggled.



After having Kamina join the crew we start wandering the Desert aimlessly. We seem to be having a tough time reaching Route 4.

"Hey big guy Z" Kamina says.

"Yeah?" I reply.

"We're about to enter a larger Desert Area." He says.

"How do you know?" I ask.

"Come on I grew up around these parts how do you expect me not to know?" He says.

"Your right. I guess we should continue." I say.

"Well let's kick logic to the curb and move on!" he says.

"Let's do this!" I say as we trudge forth, but something caught my foot and caused me to trip. As I hit the sand the impact caused my pokeballs fly out of my bag. One of them went stray and hit a wild Darumaka catching it on impact. I dust the sand off of myself gathering up my items.

"Well it seems we have another partner?" I say sending out the Darumaka.

"And what would your name be there?" I ask it.

"My name is Axel, got it memorized" he replied.

"Yeah, yeah" Kamina shrugged.

"Crikey there's some ruins in the distance let's check 'em out mate." Steve says.

I nod as we travel closer and closer!

"Whoa whoa whoa. You might not want to do that." Axel says.

"Why?" I ask.

"My Darminitan buddies are in Zen Mode." He replies.

"How about if we walk by as quietly as possible?" I ask.

"That may work." he said unsure.

"Well then let's kick logic to the curb and make the impossible possible." Kamina makes an out burst.

"Sssshh!" we all turn to Kamina.

"Sorry..." he whispers.

We tiptoe past the Zen Mode Darminatan and into the Ruins.



"Dollface? Kid? Aussie? is that you?" a familiar voice calls out to us.

We turn to see a Yanmask wandering around with the Patrat mask.

"Al?" I said wary of the response.

"KID! IT IS YOU!" the Yanmask shouted happily.

"How the heck did you become a Yanmask?" I ask.

"Notta clue kid, by da way, didja ever get dollface's name changed?" he asks.

"Yup, she's Ms.Piggy now." I reply.

"Hey Al..." I continue.

"Yeah kid?" he says.

"I'm sorry I failed you." I said looking down.

"It's okay kid. You did your best." he replies.

"Will you give me another chance to be your trainer?" I ask.

"I was wonderin' how long it'd take for you ta ask dat." he said.

"and da answers ya kid, I'll be more den happy ta rejoin da team." he continued.

"Al...Welcome back to the team!" I said cheerfully.

"Good ta be back" he said.

"Well you know I have a full team right now. Don't worry though I'll come get you as soon as we hit the next town." I said.

"Aight kid, I'll be waitin'" He says as he gets teleported to the PC.

"Hey kid!" a a backpacker shouts from the left of me.

"Me?" I ask.

"Yeah, you. I found these two fossils. I can't carry both of them and I'm feeling genrous today, so you want one?" he says to me.

"Sure, but what do I do with it?" I ask.

"These are pokemon fossils, I hear in Nacrene city if you take a Pokemon Fossil there to the museum they will revive it as a full Pokemon." the backpacker says.

"REALLY?" I asked in amazement.

"Yup, so which fossil do you want? The Cover Fossil or the Plume Fossil? The cover is a prehistoric Turtle Pokemon and the Plume fossil is a prehistoric flying Bird Pokemon." the backpacker says.

"I'll take the Cover Fossil please." I said.

"Here you go kid." the backpacker says handing me the fossil.

I quickly make my way out of the ruins and out of the desert.

I got so excited to have Al Capone back that I went back into Castelia City. Well technically that's good. I just have to go back over the Skyarrow Bridge to get to Nacrene City to bring back the pokemon in the fossil, but first a stop at the pokemon center to bring out Al Capone.

"Clay, I'm afraid I'm going to have to keep you in the PC for awhile. Is that okay?" I ask Clay.

"Oh no. I don't like all this traveling anyway, it's all dirty." he replies.

"Okay then." I say as I put Clay into the PC and take out Al Capone.

"Welcome back Al." I say.

"Good ta be back" he says.

"By da way kid, where we headin'" he asks.

"First back to Nacrene City to ressurect this Pokemon." I said ,but then a moment of realization hit me. Al Capone did die there...

"Oh I've been wantin' ta see my grave, be pretty cool kid." he said so calmly and laughed it off.

"Sorry..." I said.

"No worries, let's go get dis mate outta hist rocky shell" he says.

We head off to Nacrene.

As the sunrises I get excited. I've made it this far and Al Capone is back on the team sporting a new look as a Yanmask, but hey I'm not complaining. Although I wish Amelia, Helga, and Janet were here too. That's disappointing...Oh well time to go get this gym badge.



While on my way to the gym I spot an all too familiar face. It's N.

"Oh hey, Z" he calls to me.

"I want to talk with you...alone...on the ferris wheel...come on it'll be fun!" he says.

"Why should I?" I question.

"Because you'll get to see my awesome pokemon in a battle afterwards." he replies.

"Sure...I guess" I say.

"Okay let's go!" he says leading me to the Ferris Wheel.

He shoves me on. It goes up and he leans closer. Higher it goes and he continues to creep closer. We are almost at the top and he inches his face close to my ear.

"I'm the leader of Team Plasma." he screams!

I jump screaming "OW THAT WAS MY-WHAAAAAAAAAAT!? YOU'RE THE LEADER OF TEAM PLASMA!"

"Yup!" he says.

"And as soon as we get down I'm going to be battling you again so my minions can escape." he conitnues.

"Bring it on!" I say.

The Ferris wheel reaches the bottom and we both get out and turn to each other.

"As the leader of team plasma I order you to release your pokemon!" he calls to me.

"Like hell I will!" I call back.

"Ms. Piggy show this guy why people and pokemon belong together!" I call out Ms. Piggy

"Sandile go!" but as he calls it out it gets sent flying back onto route 4 by Ms. Piggy.

"Um...Go Sigilyph!" he calls out Sigilyph.

"Ms. Piggy." I say.

"Hiiiiiya!" she shouts as Sigilyph gets toasted.

"Gaaah! DARUMAKA!" he calls out Darumaka and Ms.Piggy flattens it.

"Why!? Why can't I defeat you!? Scraggy do something!" N calls.

Ms. Piggy gives Scraggy an atomic wedgie with her Arm Thrust.

"We'll battle again until I defeat you!" he calls and runs away.

"'Ey kiddo, he still runs away like a sissy." Al Capone smirks as he says to me.

"Nice." I giggle a little bit.

"You guys ready to take onthe gym?" I asked.

"Ready? I was born ready!" Kamina says.

"Well then let's do this!" I say.



We enter the gym only to be amazed the it's a theme park themed gym. We hop on coaster to coaster shouting and screaming and pretty much enjoying ourselves. As we reach Elesa I began crawling towards her. Needless to say roller coasters aren't my forte.

"Ah you made it to battle me." she says.

"Yeah...I....made-*bleeeeeerrrgh*" I begin puking.

"EW THAT'S DISGUSTING!" she screams.

Exhausted I begin to stand slowly.

"It's...time..for..our..battle" I say catching my breath from puking.

"Fine, but if you lose your cleaning that up." She says.

"Fine...by me...Ms.Piggy...you got this!" I call out Ms.Piggy

"Hey!" Al Capone yells at me.

"How come you haven been usin' any of us" he asked.

"Well I've done the most training with Ms. Piggy so I'm less worried about loosing her in a battle than you guys. I know you can do it, but I don't want to take the risk." I answer.

"Come Z don't believe in yourself but believe in the me that believes in you." Kamina says.

"Sorry guys, but Ms.Piggy has this." I said.

"Eh I'm not worried just sit back and relax and see what happens." Axel says.

"Hiiiiiiya!" Ms. Piggy's shout is heard as we notice that she has taken out Elesa's pokemon.

"Well looks like I don't have to clean up after myself." I said.

Elesa hands me the badge. "Take this and get the hell out before you puke up more." she yells.

Well looks like Ms.Piggy shorted out her team.

With this victory comes a good party and a good rest.

Tommorow on my way to the next town.
