OK guys, I've decided I'm going to attempt a Nuzlocke run. I'll be using Pokemon Platinum 1) because I've never played it before and 2) because fuck the 5th and 6th gyms in HG/SS. These are the rules I'm using:

1) If a pokemon faints in battle it is "killed" and must be released.
2) No healing items may be used in battle.
3) No healing items may be purchased at the pokemart (I can only use the items I find)
4) You can only catch the first new pokemon you see on each route. If it runs or faints, too bad.
5) I'm keeping my HM slaves. If one dies it will be put into my box and will NEVER be used in battle.
6) No legendaries

Now I want this to be fun for me as well, so I may be saving before major battles. If I get decimated I don't want to have to start the whole game over. It would be no fun for me, and I'd never finish my story. I'm going to attempt to write it more as a narrative instead of a plain log. If you guys don't like I can just do a simple bullet point type update.

Enjoy!

April 18th 2010
My name is Matt, but my friends call me Ninja. This is my story.

Today is the day. I've decided it's time to leave home and set out on my own. It's a dangerous world outside my door, filled with monsters known as pokemon. Pokemon are both our greatest allies and worst enemies. They are aggressive and will attack anything that threatens their territory. Because of this, no child is allowed to leave his hometown until he is ready to defend himself. For me, this has meant being stuck in the tiny town of Twinleaf. My only friend has been a mildly retarded boy named Percy. Today however, things change. Today I set out to find my destiny in the wide world.

I decided to sleep in this morning. Last night's going away party got a little sloppier than I expected. I said goodbye to Mom and headed out around noon. I had heard that Prof. Rowan was in town. I set out to find him and receive my first pokemon. I found Percy on route 201. The poor guy had grown impatient and decided to attempt to flee town by running through the long grass unprotected. Luckily Rowan showed up before he could attempt it. We were each allowed to choose a pokemon to be our new companions. I choose a PIPLUP whom I named Vanguard, as he will be at the head of my battle for fame and glory. Immediately after receiving Vanguard, Percy challenged me to a fight. His TURTWIG could have been a formidable foe, however Percy only enjoyed watching it crawl into it's shell and forgot to command it to attack. Vanguard was triumphant.

Free potion from the pokemart employee!

I caught a BIDOOF on route 201 and named him SimpleJack. He reminds me of Percy.

Dawn showed me all around Sandgem town explaining the basic of every town in Shinnoh. She also showed me how to catch pokemon. These are things even the simplest child would know. However, I guess Percy had been through town before me and had no idea what he was doing. She was under the impression that everyone from Twinleaf was as stupid as he is.

I caught a SHINX on route 202 and named him Sphinx. Spent some time leveling up. I also participated in my first trainer battle. The very first attack used against Vanguard scored a critical hit. However, thanks to his training he survived and emerged victorious.

I stopped to heal in Jublife City. I met Percy studying at the trainer school. I hope he could understand what her read. He challenged me again outside of town, but I defeated him one again. His TURTWIG did prove troublesome this time. It knocked Sphinx to under 10hp. I need to be careful. I also caught a STARLY on route 203. I named it Maverick Lonley nature woo-hoo! Also, bide and supersonic are the most annoying moves ever.

I made it to coal mining town of Oreburgh. Everything is covered in soot. The inhabitants are poor, but try to maintain a positive outlook on life. I'm glad I don't live here. The town is ugly.

It was here I was to have my first gym battle. The leader is Roark, a user of rock type pokemon. With only Vanguard capable of posing a threat I spent some extra time training him. Roark proved to be no match. Vanguard left Roark's stony pokemon a pile of ruble. After the battle looked at me triumphantly. He began to glow and then doubled in size! Vanguard evolved into Prinplup.

Having triumphantly obtained my first badge, I ham now back in Jublife city to rest for the night, confident that NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG.

Day one party: Vanguard the PRINPLUP (lv16), Sphinx the SHINX (lv11), Maverick the STARLY (lv12), SimpleJack the BIDOOF(lv10)

First Blood

I set out this afternoon for Eterna city and my next gym badge. I caught a KRICKETOT on route 204 and named him Mustachio. I also noticed some goon claiming to be members of "Team Galactic" on the north side of town. I dispatch their pathetic pokemon and went to the Valley Windworks to investigate. I spotted more henchmen in the area and decided it was a good idea to train before confronting them. During my training time, everyone evolved. I know have LUXIO, BIBERAL, STARAVIA, and KRICKITUNE!

I entered the wind mills and was immediately attacked by Team Galatic. The grunt went down without a fight, but their leader, Mars, proved more difficult. In the end, Maverick and Sphinx used intimidate to weaken her Purugly and bring it down.

I found a SHELLOS on route 205. I ordered Mustachio to attack with a glancing blow. Instead, Mustachio decapitated it with one slash of his bladed arm. It caused a terrible mess.

Met and helped a girl named Cheryl in Enterna Forest. Caught a DUSTOX and named her Zeppelin. Hell yeah!

I arrived in Enterna city. Team Galactic was lurking around, but I avoided further confrontation for now. Percy was there as well. He had some advice for me, "Make sure your attacks hit!" he said. Brilliant. On the plus side, I ran into a gorgeous young girl named Cynthia. She gave me a new move and wished me luck. I feel as though I'm ready to challenge Enterna citiy's gym...

I am victorious, but not without cost. My most recent battle was fierce, and I feared to lose everything that I've accomplished thus far. I met Eterna's gym leader, Gardenia outside her gym. I was informed that I would have to beat her understudies before I would be allowed to battle her. I let Maverick do the grunt work. He one shotted every trainer in her gym. I felt confident going into my battle with Gardenia.

She sent out her first pokemon. A TURTWIG. I ordered Maverick to use wing attack. The stupid turtle survived with only a sliver of health. It used reflect, causing me to curse out loud. I decided to try and stall out the barrier. Maverick used double team as TURTWIG Tried in vain to bring her down. Finally the reflect faded and I felt confident in a sweep. Her next pokmon was a CHERRIM. Again wing failed to achieve a OHKO. Maverick was pelted with Magic leaf. It figures the stupid thing would have a perfect accuracy move. Maverick tore it to shreds the next turn, but not before taking a solid hit. Gardenia sent out her last pokemon. ROSERADE. I knew I might be in trouble. Maverick was powerful, but hurting. I felt confident that she could take one more hit, so I ordered a wing attack. AGAIN, just short of a KO. ROSERADE's berry activated and it recovered to about a third of it's health. I knew Maverick couldn't take another attack. Knowing Mustachio would resist the incoming grass attack, I sent him out. Mustachio used Bug Bite bringing ROSERAID into critical health range. This was it, another victory in the bag. I chose Bug Bite again, knowing Mustachio could take the last hit. ROSERADE used Magic Leaf...Critical Hit! I watched in horror as Mushtachio collapsed onto the gym floor, his armor pierced through with the razor sharp leaves. Shocked and still unable to process what had just happened, I sent out Maverick. With her blinding speed, she was able to attack before ROSERADE could react. I watched as Maverick tore ROSERADE limb from limb.

After the battle I carried Mustachio's body back to Floroma town and buried him in the meadow. I decided to stop for the night and try to clear my head. Tomorrow is a new day.

New Friends. Old Enemies.

It's a new day. Time to push yesterday from my mind and begin again. I need to regroup. Mustachio was a valued team member and finding someone to take his place won't be easy. I passed an old building on my way through the forest. I planned to return there and see what was going on. On my way there however, I had another run in with Team Galactic.

Apparently, they were kidnapping (pokenapping?) local pokemon. I found them holed up in an old warehouse. Having just lost one of my valued team members, I knew I needed to be careful. Once again, I took out the grunts with little trouble. When I reached the top of the building I found another Galactic Lieutenant waiting for me. She had a local business man and his pokemon held hostage. She went by the name of Jupiter. After a few intimidates from Sphinx and Maverick her STUNKTANK fell. Defeated once again, Team Galactic retreated.

As I went to check on the owner of the local bike shop to make sure he was ok, I ran into Cynitha again. She had another gift for me. This time it was a pokemon egg. I thanked her warmly and put the egg in my backpack. The shop owner gave me a bike as thanks for saving him.

My diversion complete, I set out once again to explore the old chateau I had seen in the forest. Warry of what might lurk there, I applied a repel for safety. As I explored the house I came across a room where the TV seemed to be flashing on and off. As I approached I was suddenly attacked by a poltergeist from within the TV. It turned out to be a ROTOM. The battle was long, but I managed to capture it. However in the attempt Zeppelin was slain. Although I didn't know him well, I still feel bad for not being able to save him. In any case, he gave his life for the good of the team. ROTOM was mine. I named him Wisp.

As I continued to explore my egg hatched. I was delighted to find a TOGEPI. I named him Lucky.

finally I made my way back to Oreburgh City via the cycling road. On my way I stopped to explore the hillside on Route 206. While there Iwas incredibly lucky to find a GILGAR! She shall be known as Vampirella.

Made it to Hearthome City. Caught BigBen the BRONZOR in Mt Coronet. A wild Ralts teleported away from me on route 208. FUCK.

I met Bebe and got Spike the EEVEE! It has a mild nature, now all's I need is a thunder stone...

I realized that my new teammates needed some training, so I decided to put my quest for badges on hold and make sure my team was in top shape.

Day three party: Vanguard the PRINPLUP (lv 24), Maverick the SATRAVIA (lv 23), Sphinx the LUXIO (lv 22), Wisp the ROTOM (lv 22), Vampirella the GLIGAR (lv 20), Lucky the TOGEPI (lv 16)

Shadow Boxing

I had put it off long enough. It was time to test my skills against Fantina. I cleared out the under trainer with ease and found my way into her arena. I knew this would be a tough battle. I had nothing to combat her powerful and crippling ghost attacks. I lead with Sphinx as he was my only team member with a dark type attack. Sphinx took down Fantina's DUSKULL without even taking damage. Maybe this wouldn't be so hard after all. NOPE. Fantina cut right to the chase and sent out her MISMAGIUS skipping her middle pokemon. I went in with a plan, and this wasn't it. I knew I had to get thing thing out as fast as possible. I ordered Sphinx to roar. Even through confusion, Sphinx held his ground and sacred her away. HAUNTER was up next. This was a pokemon a could deal with. I switched in Maverick, knowing that HAUNTER could not directly damage her. Maverick was confused but managed to set up a substitute. Safely behind a sub, she quickly dispatched HAUNTER.

Only MISMAGIUS was left. As she reappeared, Maverick was still safely behind her sub. We traded blows, MISMAGIUS was faster and broke the sub. Wing attack however hit for nearly have of her HP bar. Having hurt herself several times from confusion, Maverick was sitting at just of a quarter of her health. I suspected she wouldn't survive another attack. I switched Vanguard in hoping he could finish the phantom off before Fantina could heal her. Not thinking, I ordered a metal claw hoping for an attack increase. The damage was pitiful and in return Vanguard was smacked with a Magic Leaf. Magic leaf...again...fuck me. Because Vanguard is such a beast, he took lees than half damage from the super effective attack. He had one more chance to get in a solid blow before being forced to switch out. The next attack left MISMAGIUS at about 1/3 of her health. Vanguard needed to get out, or it was game over. Both Lucky and Wisp would easily be OHKO'd so my only option was Sphinx. I sent him out hoping he could survive an attack and KO with bite. Sphinx took the switch-in attack like a champ, but he needed to take one more to win. MISMAGIUS used shadow ball...

...and Sphinx went down. I was in big trouble. I had no one else capable of taking another powerful special attack. Feeling absolutely hopeless and seeing the end of my journey rapidly coming to an all-to-early end. I sent out Maverick, hoping for a miracle. I ordered and wing attack and said a short prayer. My only advantage was the fact that MISMAGIUS couldn't use her most powerful attack, Shadow Ball. MISMAGIUS fired off a Psybeam. The attack smashed straight into Maverick's chest, knocking her out of the sky. I let out a cry of despair. Two of my closest allies gone in a flash. Just as I was about to despair, Maverick slowly pulled herself up off the floor. She had survived with a single hit point! With a great effort, she rose into the air a dived straight into MISMAGIUS. MISMAGIUS paper thin defenses were no match for the bird on a mission. Once more, Maverick revenged her fallen comrade. MISMAGIUS slowly disintegrated into the either.

Once again, I was successful but humbled. I collected my badge and carried Sphinx's limp body out of the gym. Sometimes the taste of victory is sour indeed.

Pushing on

Not a whole lot to write about today. I met Percy outside of Hearthome city. After the draining battle with Fantina, I was in no mood to deal with him. He challenged me to a battle and once again proved to be a horrible trainer. I took out all my frustrations on him, going full force with every attack. It wasn't a long battle.

I spent the rest of the day training. I caught ShadowFire the HOUNDOUR on Route 214. I spent the rest of the day battling trainers from Hearthome to Veilstone. Lucky, Vampirella, and Shadowfire all evolved. More training this weekend, then the fourth gym.

Day five party: Vanguard the PRINPLUP (lv 29), Maverick the STARAVIA (lv 29), Wisp the ROTOM (lv 26), Lucky the TOGETIC (lv 22), Vampirella the GLISCOR (lv 27), ShadowFire the HOUNDOOM (lv 25)

Fight makes right

Victory once more, this time without the bitter aftertaste of loss accompanying it. After spending the better part of two days training I knew I could not put off my next challenge any longer. I made my way back to Veilstone city and entered the gym to challenge it's leader, Maylene.

I expected Maverick and Vampirella to be my two most useful team members, so I let them warm-up on the trainers within the gym. By the time I made my way to the head of the gym I felt ready to face Maylene. I lead with Wisp to match up with her MEDITITE. Wisp scored a critical hit against and took it down in the first move. Her next pokemon was MACHOKE. I let Wisp confuse it, and then switched into Maverick. Machoke disorientated, hurt itself on the switch. With one power blow Maverick put it down. Desperate to damage me at all, Maylene sent in her final pokemon LUCARIO. In my last two gym battles my opponents final pokemon has cost me a valuable member of my team, but this time I was ready. As Maylene ordered her LUCARIO to use a fighting attack I switched in Vampirella. She shrugged off the attack and prepared to strike. Lucario used another pitiful attack as Vampirella dig into the ground. The next turn she exploded from underneath LUCARIO taking over 90% of his health in a single blow. The last turn was just a formality. The weakened LUCARIO made one last dying attempt to strike back, managing to score a worthless critical hit. Vampirella quickly put it out of it's misery. After the battle Maverick began to glow with power and evolved right in front of the pile of his defeated foes. It seemed fitting that she evolve in a gym after carrying me nearly every gym match up to this point. I was extremely proud. I can't believe how much she's grown since we first met at the very start or my adventure. She truly is one of my best friends and companions.

Maylene awarded me my badge and I left for the gym planning to head to Pastoria city. As I exited the gym however, I was met by Dawn who seemed to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She told me Team Galactic had stolen her pokedex and was holed up in a nearby warehouse. I decided to rest for the night and deal with them tomorrow. I deserve at least one night of celebration before things get hairy again.

Day 6 party: Vanguard the PRINPLUP (lv 33), Maverick the STARAPTOR (lv34), Wisp the ROTOM (lv 31), Lucky the TOGETIC (lv 33), Vampirella the GLISCOR (lv 32), ShadowFire the HOUNDOOM (lv 26)

Two for one special

Dawn and I approached the Galactic warehouse. Turns out it was only two lonely goons holding down the fort. We took them out quickly. The warehouse was locked down, but I did find the HM fly. Sweet!

After helping Dawn I headed for Pastoria. I wanted to level ShadowFire up a bit, but it seems that every wild pokemon and trainer I ran into was using water or ground types. Wisp had a good time though, and Vanguard evolved into EMPOLEON.

When I made it to Pastoria I was confronted by Percy outside of the gym. He had apparently developed a healthy man-crush on the gym leader Crasher Wake (what an odd name). Wisp took out Percy's entire team singlehandedly.

When I made it into the gym, I quickly found out that the leader's odd name fit him. I also understood why Percy had taken such a liking to him. "Crasher" was a pudgy, middle aged man wearing only spandex pants, wrist bans, and a wrestling match. He babbled something to me, but I had honestly stopped paying attention. The battle was almost as quick as the one with Percy. water types are powerful in a well-built team, but have glaring weaknesses on their own. Wisp OHKO'd crasher's GYARADOS and got a solid hit in on his prized FLOATZEL before being forced to switch out due to crunch. I knew that FLOATZEL could do nothing to Vanguard, so I brought him in. He shrugged off a pitiful Aqua Jet aimed at finishing off Wisp and then barely paused as FLOATZEL attempted to bite him. He finished the otter off with Grass Knot. Crasher's final pokemon was QUAGSIRE...who is x4 weak to grass. He didn't even get to attack.

I was informed of more Galactic mischief as I excited the gym. Percy and Wake decided to take them down and ran off into the city. I know I should follow them. My friends always die if I'm not there to save them...

Day seven party: Vanguard the EMPOLEON (lv 36), Maverick the STARAPTOR (lv 34), Wisp the ROTOM (lv 36), Lucky the TOGETIC (lv 33), Vampirella the GLISCOR (lv 33), ShadowFire the HOUNDOOM (lv 27)

Mist and Shadow

I cashed a team Galactic member half nearly the whole way back to Veilstone before managing to corner him. After defeating him he rambled something about a bomb, Cyrus, and an ancient pokemon. It didn’t make a whole lot of sense. After he ran away, Cynthia showed up. We exchanged some pleasant small talk and then she gave me some medicine to help the PSYDUCKs on route 210. She also gave me an ancient relic to deliver to her grandmother in Celestic Town. The trip was slightly worrisome. The top part of route 210 was filled so foggy I had trouble finding my way. It was also filled with ace trainers. One double battle almost went south when I stumbled into it without being able to heal. Vanguard was my saving grace. He walled nearly everything on the opposing teams, drawing the fire away from my weaker team members.

When I made it to Celestic town I stumbled across Cyrus, the leader of Team Galactic, in a old cave. We battled, and I was victorious. I’m surprised he didn’t put up more of a fight. After the battle Cynthia’s grandmother gave me the move Surf…and cookies!

With my new move I fly back to Jublife City and surfed west. Shortly, I arrived in Canalave City. The next Gym Leader lived here. I heard he used Steel types, which might cause a small problem for my team. I decided to stop by Iron Island to train for a bit before challenging him. As I crossed the bridge in the middle of town, I ran into Percy again. Even though I had just destroyed him in our last battle, he insisted on battling again. The result was the same. I didn’t even break a sweat.

With Percy put in his place once more I continued to Iron Island. There I met up with a local name Riley. He seemed like a cool enough guy, and he had a kick-ass hat, so we decided to explore part of the island together. He gave me the HM Strength as well! Inside the island caves we ran into more Galactic members. They were completely clueless as to their purpose. Riley’s LUCARIO devoured them. I also found a Shiny Stone and used it to evolve Lucky into TOGEKISS. I plan to stop by the move tutor’s house and let him learn Air Slash before continuing.

After returning to Canalave, I entered the gym and prepared for my next match. I reached Byron after battling my way through his gym. The trainers steel pokemon were no match for ShadowFire and Vampirella. When I reached Byron I put Vampirella in the lead and prepared myself for the match. Byron’s first pokemon was MAGNETON. Vampirella avoided it’s attack by digging underground and then smashed it to pieces the next turn. Next up was STEELIX. I knew Byron wouldn’t have brought it in unless it threatened Vampirella. Knowing Byron wouldn’t order STEELIX to use Earthquake on my flying type, I switched in ShadowFire. ShadowFire had melted multiple STEELIXes on the way to Byron, so I was confident he could do the same here. I ordered a Fire Blast and prepared to take on his last pokemon. ShadowFire inhaled deeply and let out a mighty spay of fire. The brightness and heat forced me to turn my eyes away. When I looked back I was horrified to see the giant metal snake emerging from the smoke. It had avoided the attack! STEELIX rose up to it’s full height and slammed into the ground shaking the gym with the force of the impact. ShadowFire’s thin defenses were no match for the immense weight of the metal and rock pressing upon him. He was crushed. As STEELIX moved away, ShadowFire looked up at me from the floor. I’ll never forget the look in his eyes before they went blank. He seemed to be saying, “I’m sorry master. I tried my best.” He let out a small whimper and breathed his last.

Still, I knew I had a fight to finish. I sent out Vanguard, who quickly disposed of STEELIX. One mighty Surf picked the thing up and slammed it into the wall. The impact was so strong it left a giant dent in the steel. Byron’s last pokemon was a BASTIODON. I knew it would try to trap me with Metal Burst, so I did a lot of switching between Vanguard, Wisp, and Maverick. Finally I had whittled it down to just over half of its health. I knew that the time to finish it was here. I ordered Vanguard to use Surf. The ensuing wave swept BASTIODON off the ground and slammed him into the wall in the exact spot STEELIX and hit it. The impact of two heavy, steel pokemon was too much even for the reinforced gym wall. As BASTIODON hit it, the wall gave way. The ancient monster was carried right out of the gym and into the nearby harbor. It sank like a rock beneath the waves.

I collected my badge and made arrangements to sail back to the mainland to burry ShadowFire. He will not be easy to replace, and his dying eyes will haunt me forever.

Day eight party: Vanguard the EMPOLEON (lv 38), Maverick the SATRAPTOR (lv 37), Wisp the ROTOM (lv 38), Lucky the TOGEKISS (lv 36), Vampirella the GLISCOR (lv 38)

When worlds collide

Upon my return to Canalve City I ran into Percy again. He said Professor Rowan wanted to meet us all in the city’s library. Curious as to what might be happening; I followed him up the stairs. Professor Rowan, Dawn, Percy, and I all gathered around an empty table on the top floor. Rowan wanted us to attempt to catch one of the legendary mirage pokemon. Since Rowan had given me my first pokemon, my pokedex, and saved Percy from being eaten by wild pokemon on the day we met, I figured I owed him one. As he was talking, Rowan’s plan was interrupted by a huge noise and powerful shockwave. While we wondered about the noise a report flashed onto the TV screen. There had been an explosion at the lake front. This sounded like Team Galactic’s doing. Rowan advised us to be cautious and urged us to investigate the sounds. Knowing that the other two probably weren’t up to the challenge of facing Galactic alone, I set out to investigate and try to help them.

I arrived at Lake Valor and was shocked at what I found. Team Galactic was everywhere and the lake had been drained of its water. MAGIKARP lay everywhere flopping and dying helplessly in the mud. I found Saturn inside the cavern. Apparently, he had already captured the legendary pokemon that had slept there. We battled, I defeated him, and I headed for Verity Lake to help Dawn. Just as I expected, she was over her head. Mars had just defeated her and was getting ready to take both her and Professor Rowan hostage. I fought Mars off and Prof. Rowan asked me to go check on Percy at Acuity Lake. It was going to be a long trip, so I healed up and set out for the far north.

Winter Wonderland

I woke up early and flew back to Enterna city. It was the closest point to Lake Acuity I had been thus far, so I figured it was a good place to start. I passed through Mt. Coronet and emerged onto Route 216. I was left breathless by the scene in front of me. Everything was covered in snow as far as the eye could see. I knew I had a long hike ahead of me, but the beauty of nature put me in good spirits. I was engaged by several skilled trainers, but all-in-all the journey was pretty uneventful. I also caught two great ice types on my trip. Ice Queen the SNEASEL and White Out the SNOVER. I decided bring Ice Queen with me, as I still hadn’t found another team member after the loss of ShadowFire. I had a chance to catch a SWINUB at the lakefront, but Lucky was a little over zealous and killed it before I could capture it. I was really hoping to find a female SNOWRUNT, but oh well.

When I reached Acuity Lake I found Percy, completely oblivious like usual. He was standing precariously on top of a steep ridge. He leaned over and yelled down to me that he was going to battle Team Galactic. I tried to climb up the rock face to help him but I wasn’t able to make it. Percy told me I needed to beat the Snowpoint City gym leader to make use of the Rock Climb. I told him to hang tight while I got ready to challenge my next gym. Time to train!

Ice, Ice Baby

I could almost see the end of my journey in sight. I’d come a long way since I first left Twin Leaf town. Now I only had two gyms left to beat! I knew the leader, Candice, used ice types. I entered the Snowpoint City gym slightly worried. Of my six pokemon, three were weak to ice and one of the others was under leveled. I knew I’d be relying on Vanguard to stall in this match, but I was worried about ABOMASNOW and PILOSWINE’s super effective attacks. Planning for the gym brought ShadowFire back into my mind. It sure would have been nice if he was still with me. I couldn’t put it off any longer though, so I made my way around the slippery floor of the gym and eventually found myself standing before Candice.

Her first pokemon was SNEASEL. I lead with Maverick. Even though she was weak to ice, I felt like I’d be able to survive an ice attack thanks to Intimidate and counter back with Close Combat. The battle began and SNEASEL jumped back and flung a shard of razor sharp ice at Maverick. I was pleasantly surprised to see Maverick lose only about a quarter of his health. SNEASEL wasn’t so lucky. Maverick closed the ground between her prey in no time and literally ripped SNEASEL’s face off with her razor sharp talons.

Candice sent out ABOMASNOW next. As it emerged from its pokeball the temperature in the gym dropped and it became to hail. I expected ABOMASNOW to attempt to finish Maverick off with its Avalanche attack. I was predicting an ice move, so I was slightly stuck. Vanguard was fresh, but I knew I would need him later in the match. Vampirella and Lucky would both be in serious trouble switching in on an ice attack. That left me with either Ice Queen or Wisp. I knew Ice Queen wasn’t strong enough to do anything, so my only option was to go to Wisp. As Wisp came in I was thrilled to see ABOMASNOW attempt a Focus Blast! Of course it did nothing to Wisp, which meant I got a free turn. I ordered a Shadow Ball. I misty aura appeared in front of Wisp and then slammed into ABOMASNOW. Unfortunately, he shrugged it off and then swept one of his massive tree arms toward Wisp. WISP was knocked back into a nearby snow mound. He struggled to recover and I knew I had to get him out. Expecting another Wood Hammer I decided to go back to Maverick to ruin the attack. Wisp returned to safety and Maverick came out, ready for round two. However to my horror, Candice ordered ABOMASNOW to use Avalanche! Rather than take a swing at Maverick, ABOMASNOW smashed into one of the huge snow mounds that had accumulated during the battle. I ice and snow exploded outward burying Maverick. I couldn’t believe it. How did Candice know I’d bring Maverick back in? Why oh why had I put her back in danger? What was I going to do without her? She had been with me since the begging. I feel to my knees and stared at the floor.

As I there uselessly, I was vaguely aware of Candice yelling at me, telling me to continue the battle. I looked up at her. Just as I was about to attempt to finish the battle in zombie mode, I heard a small rustle coming from under the ice. I turned my head and watched in disbelief as Maverick pulled herself out of the pile of ice and stone. Somehow, miracle of miracles she had survived! My mind flashed back to the gym battle at Enterna City when she had once before come back from a blow I had assumed killed her. She knew I relied on her and she was just too stubborn to die. I didn’t even have to order the attack. Maverick dove straight at ABOMASNOW. She it hit it so hard she punched a hole straight through its chest and exploded out the other side. What was left of ABOMASNOW hit the floor.

Candice’s last two pokemon were destroyed in a single hit each. PILOSWINE came out after ABOMASNOW. I switched Vanguard into the obvious ice attack. With his x4 ice resistance the damage was laughable. Vanguard obliterated it the next turn with Surf. FROSLASS was Candice’s final pokemon. Knowing the FROSLASS couldn’t touch Vanguard, I ordered a Surf. With a bit of luck, Vanguard’s Quick Claw activated and he attacked first. Vanguard let out a battle cry and summoned a giant wall of water. Because of the freezing temperatures in the gym, the waves actually began to freeze as they rushed towards FROSLASS. By the time they reached her they were almost entirely ice. The icicles were like a dozen deadly spears as they smashed into FROSLASS. The scene was surreal. The snow falling silently, the massive wave completely frozen in place, and FORSLASS impaled on the nearby wall. Battle over.

Slash and Burn

After receiving my seventh badge I figured I should probably hurry up and save Percy’s ass, so I headed back to Lake Acuity. I found Percy at the top battling one of the Galactic underbosses. It was Jupiter. She defeated Percy pretty quickly, decided it was too cold (it was), and headed back for the Galactic HQ in Veilstone. I checked on Percy, he seemed generally shaken. His pokemon were in bad shape too. I’ll be impressed if they all pull through. He vowed to get serious, and for once I believed him. I think this journey has really helped him, he’s matured a lot, and hopefully he’ll be able to pull himself together.

I arrived in Veilstone and found a grunt outside of Galactic headquarters. Apparently he recognized me as wasn’t up for a re-match. He forked over a warehouse key and got the hell out of Dodge. Smart move on his part. What came next wasn’t going to be pretty. I snuck into the HQ via an old storage warehouse. There were a couple of lackeys, but the ones that didn’t run didn’t put up much of a challenge either. I met a guy in the base who didn’t even have any pokemon with him at all. Apparently Vanguard had killed them all the last time we met…oops.

As I made my way through the base, I eventually stumbled across a conference room. I hid behind a corner and listened as Cyrus took the stage. When we had met before he hadn’t said much, but this time he seemed to really be into it. He made some grand speech about changing the world and making a place where pokemon and humans weren’t constantly at odds. It sounded good, but he didn’t really mention how this was supposed to happen. The other members of Team Galactic seemed to eat it up though. As the meeting dispersed, I tried to sneak across the room. I had almost made it when I was spotted by some Galactic lackey. He pointed at me and yelled out. I quickly found myself surrounded. The trainers all sent out their pokemon. Golbats and Skunys came charging straight at me. I brought out Lucky and ordered him to attack. He put himself between me and the oncoming pokemon. One by one Lucky took them down, but I could see he was starting to weaken. I called him back to his pokeball, and sent out Vanguard. The pitiful dark and poison attacks bounced off of him as he charged headlong into the few remaining trainers. He made short work of them. I exited the other side of the conference room and found Cyrus waiting for me. He was leaning casually against his desk.

“Nice speech. It seemed like you got the goon squad riled up pretty well,” I said as I entered the room.

“You put on quite a show yourself out there,” he said. “I’m going to be rebuilding the ranks for months.”

“I don’t think so. Your ridiculous plan stops here.”

“Ah so the young hero saves the day and everyone lives happily ever after then? I hate to disappoint you, but you’re already too late. Do you think I would have been out there giving a big victory speech if there was still any real work to do here? I’ve already extracted the power for the legendary pokemon of emotion. We’re done here. As soon as I send you crying home to your mommy I be on my way to Mt. Coronet to implement the next phase of our plan.”

Cyrus walked forward and threw a pokeball onto the floor. A Sneasel came out. Having recently acquired one of my own, I knew how to deal with it. “Ok, Maverick, you know the drill.” Maverick emerged from his pokeball and immediately dove straight into the enemy Sneasel. Cyrus called him back and sent out his Crobat. I called Maverick back and sent out Vanguard. The Crobat tried uselessly to poison him with a bite and then got smacked to the floor and stomped for his trouble. Curus’ final pokemon was a Honchkrow. I knew the thing was strong, but I had a new team mate that still needed to prove herself. I brought Vanguard back and sent out Ice Queen. She took a pretty solid blow coming in, but I knew I had a speed and type advantage. Ice Queen jumped into the air and punched Honchkrow square in the chest, bring him to the floor. As Cyrus returned it to it’s pokeball he sighed. “I suppose you’ll be wanting to ‘save’ the pokemon we have here. Very well, follow me.”

He lead me into a room at the back of the warehouse. There I saw Azelf, Uxie, and Mespirit trapped in some sort of holding containers. Saturn was there as well. When he saw me walk into the room his eyes grew big with surprise. He rushed forward to stop me but pulled up short when he saw Cyrus enter behind me. “The kid’s here for the pokemon.” Cyrus said, answering the question on Saturn face.

“And you’re just going to let him free them?”

“You’re more than welcome to try and stop him.” Cyrus replied with a scoff.

The battle was short Maverick and Wisp took him apart. Cyrus chuckled. “Well that was entertaining. Shall we go Saturn?” They both turned to leave the room. As they were walking out Cyrus turned back to me. “Here you go kid, you’ve earned this.” He tossed me a pokeball. As I rolled it over in my hand I realized it was a masterball! It was worth a small fortune. I tucked in into my pack and turned to study the controls of the machines containing the pokemon. It didn’t take long to shut them down. All three of the pokemon glowed briefly and were then gone in a flash. Taking my cue from them, I figured it was about time to get the hell out of dodge.

I stopped long enough to have Wisp start a pretty substantial electrical fire and walked out the door with the sweet smell of burning metal in my nostrils. I took a deep breath of the fresh spring air and let out a satisfied sigh. I had a mountain to climb.

Day eleven party: Vanguard the EMPOLEON (lv 45), Maverick the STARAPTOR (lv 45), Wisp the Rotom (lv 43), Lucky the TOGEKISS (lv 42), Vampirella the GLISCOR (lv 42), Ice Queen the SNEASEL (lv 41)

To Hell and Back

I have a new found hatred for mountain climbing. After my showdown with Galactic in Veilstone, I stopped by a shop to stock up on supplies and then headed for Mt. Coronet to try and catch up with Cyrus. I battled my way through scores of wild pokemon, more Galactic grunts than I can remember, and the mountains freezing temperatures, to reach the inner sanctum at the top. Surprisingly, I found that Percy had beaten me there. Apparently, he had set out as soon as he could after his defeat new Snowpoint. When we entered the inner sanctum we were immediately confronted by Jupiter and Mars. They’re pokemon were pathetically weak and the battle lasted less than five minutes. Before we had time to progress however, more grunts came flooding into the cave. Percy left to hold them off while I pressed on to find Cyrus. He told me not to worry and that reinforcements were on the way as he ran out of the cave entrance.

I found Cyrus standing at the center of the room holding his arms outstretched above his head. The power of the three emotion pokemon was latterly pulsing off of him. He turned his head back to look at me and said, “Ninja. You’re just in time for the grand finally. Once I summon Dialga and Palkia I’ll use their power to create a new universe where man and pokemon live in complete peace.”

“You’re crazy Cyrus!” I shouted back. “You’re playing with powers you have no control over. Even if you could create a new world, who would want to live there? Life is meaningless if we aren’t free to make our own choices, even if they’re wrong.” I sent Vanguard out to attack him. Cyrus didn’t even use a pokeball. He simply thrust one of his arms out towards Vanguard and sent him flying. He smashed into a wall nearly twenty feet away and was slow to get up. Just as I was about to try a full on six-on-one assault I noticed something materializing behind Cyrus. Or rather, two somethings. Two very big somethings.

Cyrus let out a maniacal laugh. “I did it! It worked, I actually summoned Dialga and Palkia, controllers of time and space! All of the world will bow before me now.” As I watched the energy surround Cyrus began to stream out and connect to the two giant beast in front of him. After only a few minutes though, it became clear that something was terribly wrong. A dark shadow began to pool around Cyrus’ feet. By the time he noticed, it was too late. The ground beneath him was giving out too fast. As he tried to find solid ground, he lost his footing and fell to the floor.

Behind him a new monster was appearing. It looked like something directly out my most horrifying nightmares. At first, only it’s long, spider-like claws were visible. They latched onto the hard stone surrounding the new opening in the floor and slowly pulled the rest of the creature out of the abyss. The rest of the abomination looked something like a snake, if the snake was made of pure evil and fed on the screams of babies. It had a long black and gray body with a gold rib caged protruding from its chest. The spider legs extended from the top of its back, almost like a cruel mockery of wings. The monster reared up for a moment and saw Cyrus trying desperately to craw away. It’s cold, dead eyes locked onto him in an instant. In a flash, one of its spider legs came crashing down, spearing Cyrus’ calf muscle and going straight through the other side of his leg. Cyrus let out a terrible scream of pain as the monster stabbed him. He tried to find his grip and cling to the floor, but the monster was too strong and it pulled him into the portal and disappeared.

It disappeared, but the portal remained. With Cyrus’ exit, the power of the emotion pokemon no longer had an anchor and it dissipated. Without that power holding them in place, Palkia and Dialga were also freed and shifted out of time and space. I was left standing on my own with a portal to hell gaping in front of me.

I heard something approaching from behind and nearly jumped out of my skin. I turned and was relieved (and presently surprised) to see Cynthia instead of some new terror. The momentary relief I had felt by being confronted by a pretty girl instead of a monster quickly disappeared when I saw the look on her face.

“Ninja, right? I remember you from the last time I had to deal with these morons. Look we don’t have a lot of time for pleasantries. My grandmother told me that the guy who ran Team Galactic out of Celestic Town was a skilled battler. I need your help.”

“Sure. Anything,” I replied. Even with the door to hell opened before me, I’m a sucker for a pretty face. “I’m guessing we should probably close this portal before more giant spider-snake-demons come out and eat us.”

“It’s not a demon, it’s a pokemon. Its name is Giratina and luckily there’s only one of them here, but you’re right. We need to close its portal before it finishes with Cyrus and gets out. It could wreak havoc in this dimension. Unfortunately, the only way to do that is to go into its dimension and defeat it there.”

“Finishes with Cyrus?”

“It likes to play with its food.”

“Nice. I wouldn’t have expected anything less from Staby the murdertastic pokemon from hell.”

“It doesn’t technically live in hell either.”

“Whatever, let’s just kill it so I can get the off this mountain. Ladies first…” And with that, she jumped into the portal. She didn’t even hesitate. I think I’m in love.

I followed right behind her. Before I could psych myself out, I closed my eyes and ran full speed towards the gaping chasm in the floor. As I reached the edge, I held my breath (I’m not exactly sure why. It seemed like the thing to do.) and leapt over the edge.

Entering the distortion world didn’t so much feel like freefalling as it did losing consciousness. If you’ve ever passed out before, you should remember the pressing, heavy feeling on your chest right be for you go out. That’s what it felt like. That, and being spun around at a million miles an hour. I landed? Materialized? Arrived. I arrived in the distortion world dizzy and out of breath.

The place looked like a bad acid trip. The “ground” we stood on the purple and squishy. It seemed to flux in and out of reality underneath of use. As I looked around I noticed that everything had a simmer fluxing effect going. Cynthia was waiting for me when I arrived. “Wow. You came. I’m surprised. I didn’t know if you’d have the nerve.”

“No so surprising. Stick around long enough and you’ll see I can be very dependable. What now?”

If she noticed my slight come on she skipped skillfully past it. “We figure out how to navigate this place, find Giratina, kill it, and then go home and have ice cream.”

“Ice cream?”

“Yes. Did I stutter? Now…how to get around in this place.” Did I forget to mention that the purple, squishy land we arrived on was an island? It was. We were stuck. Before we had time to come up with an idea, Mespirit appeared in front of us. It hovered in front of a strange vine. As it concentrated the vine grew until it made a makeshift bridge to the next chunk of land. We carefully made or way across. The three emotion pokemon continued to help us find our way through distorted dimension. Things got weird. Walking on the walls weird.

Finally we came to a place where the twisted dimensions returned to normal. A narrow path lead back into the shadows. I could see Giratina’s dull red eyes glowing in the shadows. However, another, more immediate, problem stood between us and it. Cyrus half stood, half crouched in front of us. His hole in his leg was bleeding profusely and he had accumulated some other injuries since the last time I had seen him. He now had a long gash across his forehead that was bleeding into his eye. As he put his hand up to wipe away the blood, I noticed that the last two fingers on his right hand had been severed. His blood stained eyes were wide with pain and fear.

“You won’t…stop…me! Neither…of you can…stop me! I’m so…close…to my dream. Giritina has…showed…me…things. With its help…I…I will…destroy Palkia and Dialga. I…will…give the world…the hell it deserves. All will see me and despair!” his voice was labored and cracked. As he rose, eyes flashed red.

“Ninja, Giratina has corrupted his mind! You stay here had battle him, I’ll go ahead and take on Giratina.”

“No, I can’t let you do that. You take care of Cyrus, I’ll kill the monster.” Before she could argue I sprinted ahead. I heard pokeballs opening behind me and prayed she was a good enough battler to hold her own.

Soon, the sounds of the battle were a distant noise behind me, then, they were gone completely. As I walked further, the air literally began to get heavier around me. Breathing became a chore. Walking was even harder. I just wanted to lie down and sleep. I shook my head and forced myself forward, concentrating on every step. Finally I stood in front of Giritina. “Alright you terrifying son of a bitch, I guess I’m here to kill you.”

The monster let out what could only have been a spiteful laughed and charged at me. It raised its ugly spider claws up in preparation to impale me, but before it could, Vanguard jumped in front of me and absorbed the blow. He deflected one of the legs to the side and then got another one in his powerful beak. Vanguard clamped done on the thin leg and it snapped like a twig. Giratina let out a shriek of rage and reeled back. I what I can only describe as a dark flash, Giratina phased out of reality. Cautiously, I called Vanguard back and sent out Maverick, warning her to be alert for a surprise attack. Giratina flashed back into reality directly behind her, but Maverick must have sensed it and quickly avoided the attack. Furious at being humiliated, Giratina roared and telepathically called some of the floating stones into to attack Maverick. Maverick was fast, but she couldn’t avoid all of them. One of the rocks got her off-guard and slashed her wing. She fell to the floor seriously injured. She tried to fly again, but didn’t have the strength to get air born. “It’s ok Maverick you did you best, come back.” I returned her to her pokeball and sent Vanguard back out. Having had a few minutes to rest, he was ready to go again. Giratina tried to crush him as he had Maverick, but the rock simply bounced off his steely hide. The two hammered away at each other for some time, neither able to truly score a solid hit on the other. I could see that Vanguard was weakening, but I knew I had no choice but to let things play out. Giratina would destroy any other member of my team. Besides, I could see it was slowing as well. As the monster tired to close the distance with Vanguard once more I saw an opening. In its fatigue, Giritna had left itself open for a killing blow. “Vanguard now, use brine!” I yelled. Vanguard side stepped its opponent’s sluggish blow and sent a torrent of water smashing into its side. Giratina was thrown across the chamber and smashed into a distant outcropping of rocks. The concussion of the impact brought more of the rocks from the ceiling crashing down on top of it. Giratina let out one more spiteful laugh and then became silent.

As soon as it was dead, the distortion world began to collapse in on itself. I rushed back to find Cynthia. She met me halfway down the path. “You killed it?” she asked.

“Yeah.” I said, painting from the battle and the run back to meet her. “Cyrus?” She frowned and shook her head. I noticed a bit of dried blood across one of her cheeks. I didn’t push the issue. Before we had time to start panicking about finding an escape route, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf showed up once more. The three came together and opened a portal back into our dimension.

We rematerialized on a beautiful spring path somewhere in Shinnoh. "Well I can see my gradmother was right. You are a half decent battler," Cynthia said. "But I realy could have taken care of Giratina myself you know. Afterall, I am the Shinnoh Region League Champion."

"What!? No way. You don't look that much older than me. There's no way your champ."

"It's true. I'm only 21. The youngest champion Shinnoh has ever had, and the third youngest champion in national league history. Like I said, I would have been ok facing Giratina."

"Well still," I stammered, "It wouldn't have been chivalrous of me to stand by and let the damsel slay the dragon."

Cynthia giggled. "No I guess not. You did good Ninja." And with that she gave me a kiss on the cheek and was off.

Despite climbing an entire mountain, going to hell, and slaying a giant hellbeast, it wasn’t a bad day.

Saturday, May 1st
Sunshine

After I left Cynthia last night I found the nearest motel and immediately collapsed in pure exhaustion. I woke up this morning feeling great. I had one badge left to get, so I started out early and set off for Sunnyshore City. Route 222 was uneventful, although I did manage to catch a Chatot. Yay?

I arrived in Sunnyshore before noon and took my time finding the gym. By asking around town I learned that the leader used electric type pokemon. “This should be a cakewalk compared to yesterday,” I thought to myself. I called Vampirella over and went over the strategy with her. “Ok, Vampirella, here’s the plan. This gym is electric, which means it’s your time to shine. When I say GO just spam earthquake as fast as you can.” She seemed to understand me, so I set off for the gym with my tactical masterpiece of a strategy.

The inside of the gym looked like a power plant. I was afraid to touch anything for fear of electrocuting myself. Making quick work of the underlings inside, I soon found myself standing in front Volkner, the gym’s leader. “So you’ve managed to get all of the other badges have you? Well I won’t lose so easily. Prepare to be defeated.”

Volkner threw his first pokemon out. It was a Jolteon. I sent out Vampirella. “Ok,Vampirella. Ready…GO!” Jolteon, being a speedy little freak, attacked first, but its weak attack had little effect on Vampirella. She countered with an earthquake. Jolteon went down. Next was Luxray. Earthquake. Down. Electivire. Earthquake. Down. Raichu. Earthquake. Down.

“Congratulations. You’ve earned your final badge,” Volkner said as he recalled Raichu.

“Wait what? That’s it? You only have four pokemon? Aren’t you supposed to be the ultimate test before the pokemon league? You didn’t even last five minutes!”

“Eh, battling’s not really my thing. I only got the spot because my dad has influence within the league. Besides, you just got your last badge. Are you really going to complain?” He handed me the badge and I walked out the door. It was still only a little after noon, so I decided to spend the rest of the day at the beach. Tomorrow I would begin my journey to the pokemon league HQ.

Day thirteen party: Vanguard the EMPOLEON (lv 54), Maverick the STARAPTOR (lv 52), Wisp the Rotom (lv 50), Lucky the TOGEKISS (lv 51), Vampirella the GLISCOR (lv 53), Ice Queen the SNEASEL (lv 52)

Sunday May 2nd
The road goes ever on and on

After my extremely disappointing match with Volker, I left Sunnyshore City and started making my way towards the pokemon league. I had one challenge left before I would be able to face the Elitle 4 and become champion: Victory Road. It’s the final route that connects the rest of Shinnoh to the pokemon league. I knew it was going to be full of top notch trainers, but I felt like my team was ready to face them.

I was not disappointed by their quality. These truly were ace trainer, however, I had grown into a powerful trainer myself, and my team was able to overcome all of them. While I was exploring I found a sharp sickle like object that Ice Queen seemed to have an affinity for. I let her hold it and was extremely excited when, after wasting someone’s Staraptor, she evolved into a Weavile!

After what seemed like forever, I found my way out of the cave that contained Victory Road and walked up the path to the Pokemon League. When I entered the building, I saw Percy hanging around the lounge area. He spotted me as well and came over to talk. “So you got all the badge too huh Ninja? I knew if I could beat Volkner, you wouldn’t have any trouble with him. I was just getting ready to officially submit my challenge to the pokemon league, but it turns out they’re already closed for the night. Hey, do you want to battle one more time before we challenge the league? I want to make sure my team is strong enough.”

Since I knew I wouldn’t be facing the Elitle 4 today, it sounded like a fine idea. Never one to pass up a chance for some showmanship, Percy insisted on calling together a small crowd before we started the battle.

Percy led with his Staraptor, as always, and, as always, Wisp took it down before it got a chance to attack. Next Percy sent out a Snorlax. The massive beast slowly drew itself up to its full height, towering over Wisp. I knew there was nothing Wisp could do to hurt it, and I expected a dark attack, so I switched in Maverick. I was counting on her to intimidate it a little bit as nearly all of Percy’s pokemon had fallen prey to Maverick at some point. It worked. Although she took a substantial hit coming in, I could see Snorlax hesitate at the last moment. As soon as she could, Maverick flew above Snorlax and then came crashing back into it. The attack did massive damage, but not quite enough to take Snorlax out of the fight. Worse, as Maverick tried to pull back after the attack, Snorlax caught a hold of one of her wings and slammed her into the ground. Even with its reduced power, this one hurt. I knew Maverick couldn’t take another hit like that, but I also knew Snorlax was ready to fall. I ordered another attack and Maverick finished it off without a problem.

Next Percy sent out his Floatzel, probably hoping to capitalize on my weakened bird. I suspected Maverick to be faster, but knew I couldn’t risk her life on an educated guess. I called her back and sent out Vanguard. I knew Floatzel couldn’t even scratch Vanguard, and I was sure he was getting restless watching his team mates get all the action. He came into an aqua jet, which as I predicted, did nothing. Percy probably expected a stall war, but I had a trick up my sleeve. “Vanguard, try out that new attack I taught you!” Vanguard looked at me and nodded, if he could smirk, I’m sure he was. One of his fins began to glow green and then he unleashed a tangle of vines at Floatzel. Caught completely off guard, Floatzel was constricted by the plants and quickly lost consciousness.

Next up was Torterra who fell to Ice Beam before he had a chance to try and use earthquake. Heracross proved a bit trickier to take down, but a quick switch to Lucky and an air slash later and it was taken care of. Rapidash made an attempt to set itself up in the sun, but Lucky paralyzed it and then slashed it to death, or near death, this was my friend after all, I had to hold back a little.

After the battle Percy looked disappointed, if not surprised. “I kinda guessed I was going to lose, but I didn’t expect to lose so badly. I don’t think I’m ready to face the Elite 4. Even if I did beat them, I’m sure you’d come and dethrone me as soon as I became champion. I think I’m going to go home for awhile Ninja. It’s been too long since I’ve seen my parents and I’m tired of traveling. I’ll see you when you get back, and good luck, I know you’ll win.”

Even though I had beaten Percy handily, I still felt a little nervous, so I decided to spend the rest of the night training. Tomorrow, my journey would come to an end, one way or the other.

Day fourteen party: Vanguard the EMPOLEON (lv 60), Maverick the STARAPTOR (lv 60), Wisp the ROTOM (lv 58), Lucky the TOGEKISS (lv 58), Vampirella the GLISCOR (lv 58), Ice Queen the WEAVILE (lv 58)

Showdown at the Pokemon League

Elite 4 Aaron
Flyswatter

I showed up at the Pokemon League well before the opened. I had spent the whole night training. I was too nervous to sleep. I presented my badges and trainer information and was cleared to begin the challenge.

As soon as the doors opened I walked through the lobby and into the first arena. A rather oddly dressed boy stood at its center. “Hello challenger. My name is Aaron. I’m the first member of the Elite 4 and your first hurdle on the way to becoming champion. My specialty is bug pokemon.”

“Really bugs? Aren’t they kind of, you know, weak.”

“Ha. That’s a common misconception. I’ll show you just how strong they can be when they kill all of your pokemon!” It turns out, not very. He led with a Yanmega and I lead with Lucky. One air slash later and he was recalling his squished bug. His Drapion fared slightly better, but it still feel too Lucky’s persistent assaults. The rest of his team fell to Lucky one by one. Honestly, the match had been over before it began.

“You…you killed them all,” Aaron said near tears.

“You’re the one who wanted to play for keeps kid. Don’t blame me.”

“Shut up. You win. Go on to the next room.” I didn’t really have anything to say in reply, so I just walked past him and his pile of dead bugs into the next room.

Elite 4 Bertha
Grounded

When I came into the second room, I found an old woman scowling at me. “Who are you?” she asked flatly.

“My name in Ninja. I’m here to challenge you.”

“What kind of stupid name is Ninja? Your parents just go around letting you call yourself that? Are they stupid too.”

If I was planning on holding anything back during this battle, I wasn’t anymore. “You don’t know anything about my parents old woman,” I practically growled. My mother had given up too much for me to sit here and let some senile old woman insult her. “Now are we going to battle or are you just going to sit here frowning at me until you die of old age?”

“Why you rude little hooligan! After I beat all of your pokemon I’ll personally take the time to beat some manners into you as well.”

This battle was actually quicker than the last. Vanguard didn’t take well to listening to her insult me and my mother, so he wasn’t feeling particularly merciful when I unleashed him on Bertha army of ground pokemon. Between surf, ice beam, and grass knot none of them stood a chance. The battle ended a mere five turns after it started.

Bertha opened her mouth to say something, but I didn’t care to hear what it was. I walked past her before she could respond to the trouncing I had just given her.

Elite 4 Flint
Burned

A ridiculous man with a giant red afro waited for me in the third room. “You’re joking right? First some little kid with neon green hair and what looked like an S&M outfit, then some old hag who never learned her manners, and now a hippy. Man where do they find you guys?”

“Woah harsh man. There’s no need to be so aggressive….just….chill.” I think he was stoned. His eyes were so red they matched his hair.

“Right, sorry. So do you want to battle,” I paused, “dude?”

“Wha? Oh yeah, a battle…right.” I threw down a pokeball and a Houndoom appeared. I sent out Vanguard and prepared for another quick match.

“Vanguard, put that thing out of its misery.” I could see that the thing was nervous, but Flint didn’t seem concerned at all.

“Dude…fight back,” were is only instructions for his pokemon. Even with this awesome guidance, Houndoom wasn’t able to best Vanguard and was quickly eliminated. The rest of his pokemon went down in a similar fashion, although I did have to switch Maverick into his Infernape at one point, so the match lasted slightly longer than the last two.

Flint didn’t seem to realize he had lost. He just sat there staring blankly at the wall. “Hey man, do you ever wonder where walls come from? I mean, they’re everywhere, but how did they get there?”

“Uh…right. I’m going to go know. You keep trying to figure that one out though.” I left him to contemplate his unsolvable mystery. Three down, one to go.

Elite 4 Lucian
Retribution

“You’ve made quite a mess you know.” I entered the room of the final member of the Elite 4 and was scolded before I could even make a smart remark. “Poor Aaron just finished training all of those pokemon. He was quite attached. Bertha is still throwing a hissy fit and refuses to talk to any of the rest of us until put that, ‘insufferable little worm’ in his place. And Flint, well honestly I don’t think Flint even remembers you were there…but that’s another matter. My name’s Lucain by the way.”

“Lucian. So you run this show huh? I’d apologize if it weren’t for the fact that I’m just playing by the league’s rules. I’m not the one who put these atrocious safety standards into practice. I’ve lost teammates on my way here too. You think I liked burying my friends after your gym leaders murdered them? You’re the ones who turn a blind eye to the uncountable numbers of pokemon your murdered in pursuit of the right to challenge you. You’re the ones who let Team Galactic run rampant throughout Shinnoh. Where was the league when Cyrus was bombing cities? I am only what you made me.”

“You think you’re so wise don’t you. You think you know what true loss is. Your previous losses were nothing compared to what you’re about to experience.”

He was right.

Lucian sent out his first pokemon. A Mr. Mime. A clown. I fucking hate clowns. I led with Wisp, expecting his ghost attacks to quickly destroy Lucian army of psychics types. The first round went exactly according to plan. Wisp was quick enough to get the jump on that stupid clown and hit it in the face with a shadow ball. When the mist surrounding the ball the ball dissipated Lucian was left with a headless clown. I thought it was a significant improvement. Next up was an Alakazam. I told Wisp to hold strong and use another shadow ball. As Wisp prepared for its attack, Alakazam, closed its eyes and began to concentrate. Just as Wisp was about to unleash his attack Alakazam opened his eyes. They were completely gold and literally shining. There was a small pop and Wisp was gone. He simply vanished out of existence.

Lucian let out a cruel laugh, “Well done Alakazam. His fragile ghost was no match for your psychic power. Send out your next pokemon so we can be done with this child.”

I gritted my teeth. I couldn’t think about what had just happened now. I would have time to mourn later. I sent out Lucky and told him to use the natural powers of the atmosphere to help him get an advantage. Lucky studied the room and then braced himself to absorb the incoming attack. Alakazam’s eyes shined gold again, but unlike Wisp, Lucky was ready. I could see pain on his face, but Lucky concentrated and managed to withstand the psychic assault. Through sheer forcing of will he pushed towards Alakazam and slashed its legs out from beneath it. Alakazam collapsed to the floor, paralyzed. Lucky finished it off quickly.

“I see you leave me little choice but to bring my best in early,” Lucian said calmly. He seemed to be barely affected by Alakazam’s death. “So be it. Go Gallade!” A slim, dangerous looking pokemon emerged from its ball.

“Lucky, take it out just like you did Alakazam,”

“Lucky. What an unfortunate nickname,” Lucian said as he flashed me a devilish grin. As he looked at me his eyes began to glow golden. Lucky dove in to attack Gallade, but at the last second something spooked him. He flinched and Gallade was able to avoid the attack. As soon as Lucky had missed, Lucian’s eyes returned to normal. Gallade didn’t miss the opening to attack and quickly summoned some rocks out of nowhere and sent them flying into Lucky. He was able to dodge the first few rocks, but soon there were too many. One hit his wing causing a minor cut, but it also threw him off course. Another came smashing into his chest. I could see immediately that he was critically wounded. He fell to the floor his entire chest was caved in and I knew he was gone.

“Hahahaha! Excellent!” Lucian cackled with delight. His high, cold laugh fell on deaf ears though. I was in my own world of pain and hatred. I released Maverick. I didn’t say anything, didn’t give her any orders. I just looked into her eyes. She looked from my face to where Lucky lay motionless on the floor and then to Lucian and his Gallade. That hate in her eyes matched my own. She charged at towards her opponents with reckless abandon. I saw Lucian’s eyes begin to glow gold again.

“Maverick be careful! He’s going to try and disrupt you!” I yelled in near panic. I needn’t have worried though. Maverick knew exactly what she was doing. Rather than try to attack Gallade directly she flew straight into Lucian’s face. He realized too late what was happening. By the time his eyes snapped back into focus and he threw his hands up to protect himself Maverick was already running her talons across his face. He let out a howl of pain and rage. While Lucian was busy bleeding Maverick changed course and ripped out Gallade’s throat, leaving it to collapse in a pool of its own blood on the floor.

Bronzong was the next enemy my team faced. I knew they were extremely hard to kill, but Vanguard and Maverick teamed up to take it on. Eventually Vanguard crushed it under an immense wave. Lucian’s last pokemon was an Espeon. When it emerged from its ball I could plainly see that it was terrified. It looked at me with fear in its eyes, and in that moment I took pity on it. “If you don’t want to die like the rest of your teammates, I suggest that you run. Now.” It took off in an instant and didn’t look back.

Lucian looked at me through the one good eye Maverick had left him. His eye began to glow again and I realized he was going to attack me directly. Before he could however, he saw Vanguard and Maverick come to stand behind me. He quickly thought better of it. “Get out of my sight you insignificant little puke. I don’t ever want to see you again,” he growled.

“I think Maverick could arrange that quite easily,” I said. Not joking at all.

“Mark my words carefully boy. If we ever do meet again, I will kill you.” Maverick began to move behind me and Lucian quickly stormed out of the room, holding his hand over what was left of his face.

I had defeated the Elite 4. There was only one person left to beat before I would be proclaimed champion. I knew who waited for me in the next room, and I didn’t look forward to meeting her like this.

Cynthia
My end is my beginning

I entered the champion’s chamber already defeated. I had just lost two of my closest allies and friends, and now I would be forced to fight someone I had literally been through hell to protect. When I came into the room Cynthia ran up to greet me grinning. However, as soon as she saw the shape I was in, her face fell. “Oh my god! Ninja what happened?”

“I beat the Elite 4,” I said numbly, “but Lucian cheated. He used his psychic powers to kill some of my pokemon.”

“I’m so sorry, Ninja,” she said. She moved hers hand up as if she was going to put it on my shoulder, but then thought better of it and lowered it again.

“Matt.”

“What?”

“Matt. My name is Matt. I only tell people I really care about, but I trust you. You can call me Matt.”

She smiled a bit in spite of the grave situation, and then her face became serious again. “Lucian is a bastard. When he took over as head of the Elites last year he fired the other three members and installed his own lackeys. He knew they were garbage battlers, but he wanted it that way. He wanted challengers to make it to him. He likes hurting things. People, pokemon, it doesn’t matter. Pain brings him pleasure. He’s been accused of cheating before, but no one has been able to prove anything. He’s practically kept me prisoner here the last few months. He never tells me what’s happening and he or one of his lackeys are the only people I ever see. He’s never lost before today. I’m so sorry for what he did to you Matt, but if you hadn’t had the courage to face him more people wouldn’t have gotten hurt. This is the second time you’ve saved me, and this time I even needed it!” I couldn’t help but smile at that one. “I know you’re hurting, but what’s done is done. There is only one step left before you can rest. We have to battle, but we don’t have to hurt each other. So let’s see who’s really got what it takes to be champ, and then let’s get the hell out of here. We can get some ice cream. I’ll buy.” She smiled.

I couldn’t help but be uplifted at the thought of ice cream with Cyinthia. “Ok,” I said, “but only if you let me buy you dinner first.”

This elicited a genuine laugh from Cynthia. It sounded like music coated in honey: beautiful, smooth, and perfectly sweet without making you sick of it. “Ok, deal.” She said grinning.

She led with a Spiritomb. It was ugly as fuck, especially with Cynthia standing directly behind it. I wasn’t quite sure how to deal with it, so I did what I always do when I don’t know what else to do and sent in Maverick. Spiritomb managed to get in one partly hit before Maverick fainted it. She made sure not to go overboard. The time for killing was over.

Milotic came in next. I thought Maverick might be able to survive a hit, but I might need her healthy later, so I withdrew her and sent out Vanguard. Vanguard charged in with a grass knot not. Milotic took a solid blow from the attack, but Cynthia ordered it to concentrate and retaliate. Milotic struck back using the power of the vines entangling it to build up extra force. It dove head first into Vanguard with impressive power. Vanguard was knocked off his feet. I could see cracks in his armor from where the vines had corrupted it. “Vanguard get back here!” I yelled. “Ice Queen, it’s pretty weak. Finish it off.” Ice Queen emerged from her pokeball and quickly outpaced Milotic, taking it down with a flurry of slashes from her claws. Lucario was next up, but I was threatened by him at all. I brought Ice Queen back and sent in Vampirella, who seemed to be tailor built to take on Lucario. She shrugged off the energy sphere that had been aimed at Ice Queen and quickly ended Lucario’s chance at battling with a well timed earthquake.

Cyinthia sent out her Togekiss next. Seeing another Togekiss so soon after losing Lucky brought a tear to my eye. I started to choke-up but fought down my sadness and concentrated on the battle. Vampirella was tough, but I knew she couldn’t take the kind of special hits Togekiss was capable to dealing. I switched Ice Queen back in because I didn’t really have anyone else to go to. Vanguard might be able to take one more hit, but I didn’t want to risk it. Togekiss used air slash as she entered. The attack dealt a lot more damage then I would have liked, and I could see Ice Queen was favoring her left leg. She didn’t let the pain phase her however and quickly took Togekiss down with one of her powerful ice moves.

“Shoot,” Cynthia said. “I think you’ve got me.” Your Weavile is going to make quick work of my last two pokemon. She was a smart battler, she knew she was right. Her final two pokemon were a Roserade and a Garchomp. Roserade’s paper defenses couldn’t stand up to Ice Queen and even the powerful Garchomp was brought down by his weakness to ice.

“Done,” Cynthia said.

“Done,” I replied.

“Ready to get out of here?” she said coyly.

“Hell yes.” We walked out of the League HG hand in hand. I didn’t look back.

THE END

I'm at the third gym, but I actually stopped early last night because I was afraid. I don't have anything that hits superefecively and I'm scared to death I'm going to lose someone. If Vanguard or Maverick die I'm going to be heart broken. They're basically carrying the team right now.
