TINA's Nuzlocke Series

As i continue my training, things go horribly wrong. Two Psyduck team up on Daikuchi; i should have fled, but instead i took them both on. One of them crit an aqua tail, which allowed the other to finish Daikuchi off with a Water Pulse. Rest in peace my girl, you weren't exactly the MVP, but you will be missed nontheless.

We will instead be joined by John the hairy Diglett. As i'm training him up, he evolves into a Dugtrio with fabulous blonde locks. I train him up, then Hau and i go and meet the professor in the park. We tell him about what happened at the Aether Foundation; he says he'll certainly tell his wife about these events. He also tells us that to reach the next part of the island challenge, we need to take the bus from Route 10 up Mt. Hokulani. On the way out of town, i run into Lillie, who tells me that she's heading to the library to find a book on Nebby's species, Cosmog. I with her best of luck with that, and head south to go and explore Route 11 before i go and continue my island challenge. I stumble upon a wild Trumbeak here, which i catch and nickname Mehtori. I find the road blocked off by one of those gates only the trial captains can open, so i head to Route 10 as the professor advised. As i'm walking under a tree there, a wild Skarmory suddenly swoops down at me, so i panic and fling balls its way until it stays put. It will be nicknamed Hikouki. It'll be a while before the bus arrives though, so i decide to call it a day.

Now I am curious: What would you have done if you failed one of these nuzlockes? Would you just continue to the next game? Would just stop all together?

i actually did fail my first attempt at Pokemon White; wiped in the first N fight against his Purrloin. I just started over in that case; probably also what i'd do if i lost at some point other than right at the start.

Fair enough. I think just starting over if you failed so early on is fair. Would not make for an interesting story now, would it? Also, how did you lose that fight?

i underestimated him and went in underleveled. he also got several crits against me. i don't remember the exact details though; it was years ago at this point
 
The bus still hasn't arrived yet, so i decide to kill the time at the library. Lillie and i meet Hapu at the entrance, just as she was heading off on her Mudsdale. Inside, we start looking for Lillie's book, one about Ultra Wormholes and pokemon that came from other dimensions. We run into this universe's Acerola while doing this, who helps us find the book we seek. The book speaks of a pokemon that eats light, and about something called a Solgaleo that's supposed to protect Hawaii against this threat. Acerola tells us it was actually her dad that wrote this, ad that her family used to be great people who possessed a lot of knowledge on the region's legends. She still knows a lot on the subject, and wants to help Lillie in her research.

I already know about Ultra Wormholes and other worlds though, so i decide to go and explore the city's outer cape. It is here that i find one of those Dark-type Grimer, so i decide to throw a ball at it; it will be named Modder. I then realise the bus is about to arrive, so i hurry back to Route 10, where 2 of those Team Skull losers are trying to steal the bus stop. So i beat them up to kill the time; after they fuck off, Kukui arrives on the scene, and we board the bus together; on board, the professor tells me of his dream to found a Pokemon League here in Hawaii. When we reach the top of Mt. Hokulani, he shows me the view; in the distance, there's another mountain named Mt. Lanakila. That's where the professor aims to set up his league.

I wish the professor best of luck with that; we'll see if i'm still in this region when he achieves his dream. Anyway, i decide to go and explore the mountainside; the view here is truly amazing. While i'm staring down into the depths, i get approached by a wild Minior who wants to see the world, but before i can catch him, he decides to end his own life, exploding on me; always sad to see a youngster throw their life away like that. Anyway, i should head back to the peak and partake in the island trial there. By the door, the former trial captain Molayne shows up to wish me luck, giving me a Steelium Z to help me in the fight. Not sure how much good that'll do, considering this is an Electric trial, but thx anyway.

Speaking of, since this is an electric trial, Ingrid, Oogaa and 99 will be sitting this one out. Instead, we will take Rachel the Metapod, Ai the Luvdisc and Lover the Ditto, as death fodder. Sophocles is the trial captain here; he tells me he has a device to call in the totem pokemon, but the Dedenne that are supposed to power it are out and about. I help find them and put them in the machine; Blargh even helps out as well. It actually works a bit too well; the machine gets overcharged, but fortunately the totem Togedemaru shows up just in time to absorb the energy. I send out John to fight it; my foe opens with a Spiky Shield; blocking my move as he calls his ally Skarmory. The next turn though, John rips a Magnitude 10, bringing my foe well into the yellow, though a berry takes him out of the yellow as he deals massive damage to me with Iron Head. I opt to stay in though and risk the crit; Togedemaru does not crit me and dies to Earth Power while Skarmory sets up Stealth Rock. John can't really do much to Skarmory, so i switch to Suzy on a Steel Wing that both raises Skarmory's defense and triggers Flame Body. A fire Z-move later, victory is mine.

After giving me the Electrium Z, Sophocles wants to show me something in festival plaza. I just nod along and head off after he's done; i really don't care. When we're back in the observatory, Molayne finds the professor's weird superhero mask, so he asks me to bring it back to him in the Malie Garden. Rather than doing that though, i decide to train a bit. Once Ingrid evolves into her final stage, i decide to call it a day.

I thought there was a Molayne fight here, but apparently that's just in SM
 
When i arrive in the Malie Garden to give the professor his mask, i see that he's dealing with a bunch of Team Skull goons, including their boss, Guzma. Guzma and the professor seem to know each other; apparently they were both rejected as trial captains, but the professor chose to do something with his life after while Guzma stayed a loser. The professor suggests i fight Guzma, so i send out Oogaa as he leads with his Golisopod. I open with a flying Z-move, which crits and gets the clean one-shot. His other pokemon is Masquerain, for which i switch to 99. However, my foe outspeeds and does almost half with Air Slash; i do some damage in return with Charge Beam, but this isn't looking good. I opt to risk it and fire off a gust that brings him into the red as he brings me into the red. Now's the time to switch; Ingrid comes in, tanks a massive Air Slash and finishes the fight with Aqua Jet.

With that done, Guzma heads off, and i hand the professor his weird mask. At that moment, Hau, Lillie and Acerola arrive on the scene. The girls say they're headed through Route 11, and that that's also the road to my next trial, so i guess i'll head in that direction. I head through to Route 12, but the terrain's too rugged for me to pass on foot. Just as i'm about to head back though; i run into Hapu and her Mudsdale. I tell her about the problems with passing this route, and she decides to let me ride her Mudsdale across terrain like this, adding it to my Ride Pager. Awesome, thx. From horseback, one gets a great view of this route, and the horse is completely unhindered by the jagged rocks. We even run into a smaller horse along the way; i catch this Mudbray and name him Ozosnel. Along the way, i decide to check out the view from Blush Mountain, but the scenery there is spoiled by the presence of a power plant. As i try to leave the mountain again, i get jumped by one of those Electric-type Gravelers, so i catch it in a Quick Ball and nickname it Denkishi. The thrill from that encounter actually prompts Blargh to evolve into Vikavolt, so as to better be able to protect me from such threats.

I beat all the trainers and proceed onto Route 13, where i run into Hau, who decides to give me a Max Potion. Thx, i guess. Gladion then also shows up, telling us that Team Skull is looking for a pokemon named Cosmog, and that we must do everything in our power to prevent them from getting it. Anyway, i decide to deploy my fishing rod on this route, and i land one of the most hideous things i've ever seen. I normally release ugly pokemon immediately, but in this case i think i'll do the world a favour and keep the Bruxish trapped in a ball, naming it Roben. I'd love to now go and explore the desert north of here, but you're apparently not allowed to do that if you have not beaten the Ghost trial, so i decide to just call it a day.
