Dark Fox does Nuzlocke! - The Crystal Saga: Episode 2 (what's my name?)

Rules pertaining to this run may be found in Episode 1.




MOM NO I DON'T WANT SEXUAL FAVORS.




Oh.

Anyways, continuing from part one, I had just left the lab with level 10 F Princess and a bunch of Pokeballs. Time to go see what my first catch on Route 29 is!




IT'S PIKACHU!




GODDAMMIT oh wait, I caught it. I'd rather have a Pidgey, but let's see what a Sentret can do.




Furretta was the name of my guinea pig way back then. Therefore, the Sentret is now Furretta.

I skip going back and using the healing station in the lab because I might want it later for when I come back with eight gym badges. I proceed to train F Princess another level, then going to see what I can catch on Route 30.



Okay.



I was afraid of tackling the bug to death, so I threw a ball in the green. Failure.



Stay down.




Which one of you Weedles is ready for an ass-whooping?

I trained my two mons up a bit, but then F Princess got poisoned. Everyone was already weak, so I decided to use the PKMN center in Cherrygrove.



NO.

And then I trained, and proceeded forward.



WHO'S THIS SHITLORD?

I ended up beating him and the next kid.




LVL 5 CATERPIE 2 STRUNK.

In my flurry, I stepped into Route 31 and almost forgot that I could catch another mon. And the first thing that appeared was...




Cool. I mean, Hoppip has no offensive capabilities, but it has synthesis, so it can survive longer.




I have no power level and I must scream.




Yeah. I'm kinda glad that the low-level birds in this game don't know gust. We might've had to bury Soldier early. The further we go, the less likely we'll see 1 HP hang-ons.

There's very little to do in Violet City, save for the gym, so it was straight to Sprout Tower. My first encounter was...




Predictable.




This Rattata has a high attack stat. It hit F Princess hard during the struggle.




Twitch Plays Pokemon? More like FUCK YOU.


I trained every member in the party that could still hang in there, then I decided to use the PKMN center in the town, pre-gym. I had to now, because I hadn't enough cash from trainers to buy potions.



Party pop: 5.




HANG IN THERE KITTY, THOSE INEFFECTIVE VINE WHIPS WON'T BRING YOU DOWN!




Worth it.




I, truthfully, had way too many close calls in Sprout Tower. This was the result of an unexpected crit. Those who were too injured were placed in front, then swapped out to gain a bit of exp to catch up.




TOLD YA IT WOULD BE FUNNY.




Only the vegetable may illuminate the darkness.





This happened after I got the HM Flash. I trained F Princess to level 14 and NotJayLeno to level 8 to be somewhat even with everyone else.




I fear death. So before I went into the gym, I bought these and an antidote. I wasted one on Furretta just to bite down a Spearow, and properly used another on NotJayLeno to take down the trainer before Falkner.




Now I am become death. I only used F Princess in this fight, because everyone else is still too weak.




Victoly. Nothing much to it. Pidgeotto took two embers, so I might need an ether for that soon. After the fight, I headed left and noticed Route 36. I could've nabbed a free mon now, but I could also wait for Sudawoodo, or another higher level player, so I decided to pass on that. I got a call from the Professor to go back to the PKMN center that I'm not allowed to use. Great.




No thx lol.

I ended up taking the egg, because I'm allowed to. I didn't mention the Ruins of Alph in the intro, but they're coming up, along with two caves before I hit Bugsy's gym. I think there's one or two routes between now and then, so I can get a couple of extra groupies, but I'll have to see. My team is kind of under-leveled, bar the starter, so I'm debating either going back a route and preying on the innocent, or marching on?
