Dark Fox does Nuzlocke! - The Crystal Saga: Episode 6 (what have I done?)

Rules pertaining to this run may be found in Episode 1. Pictures have not been cropped.

I made it to Cianwood city. I hadn't gone to the PKMN center yet, but that wasn't my mistake.




Thought I could use Buzz to take out a paralyzed Machoke in the gym.




I thought wrong.




Welp, that Sudowoodo is dead. So I put it in the dead box and took out Prophet again.




I then used everyone but Soldier to take out the other trainers, then I healed up for real.




Oh really?




Okay.




I ded et.




Now I can fly 'n shit.




Oh snap.




I also tried to go back to route 41 to catch something unique, but my only option was a Mantee, and they're too rare.




I flew back to Olivine, and gave Jasmine the medicine. Before I challenged her, I trained a bit in the grass north of the gym, because I knew Quilavas can learn Flame Wheel at this level. Her steel types are about to get wrecked.




Well enough to know that they get wrecked by fire.




Look very carefully at this sprite.

People make hentai of the figure in this sprite.




OHKO with Flame Wheel.




Oh noes.




Flame Wheel was not an OHKO. It was a TwoHKO. Steelix got some rock move off on me, but F Princess shined through.




I know.
Two gyms down in rapid succession. The leveling progression is low in this title between Gym 4 and Gym 7. Super effective Nuzlocke moves help too.




After the gym, I flew back to the Lake of Rage (because the game let me), and now that I have surf, I gotta go kill a modded Gyarados.




C'mere, you undercooked shrimp.




He dead.

Since I stated that the Red Gyarados was forbidden to catch, that means I have another opportunity in the Lake of Rage to catch a new mon. And who do I find?




Fuq.




He couldn't handle a quick attack, he can't handle being on my team.

Anyways, after I picked up the red scale, I flew around and did some things.




I traded the exp share for the scale.




I got the charcoal I missed from Azalea Town, gave it to F Princess, and picked up the balls Kurt was making.




I then proceeded to help Lance with the rocket hideout in Mahogony, which was essentially a gauntlet. I chose the trainer route, as opposed to the wild mon route on the left.




After the gauntlet; oh look, a free heal!




Progress check. Let's do this!




Couldn't do what thing, sweetie?



Hold the fuck up

Who told you that you could talk?




I could, but I'm not gonna.




Oh, by the by, I'm gonna hold off on evolving Raditz until it learns Mega Drain. Then I can actually use it effectively with stun spore and leech seed.





The rocket hideouts are just mindless normal/poison type gauntlets. This is the part where Lance shoots down my companionship.




Fun fact: Using a super potion before each electrode fight, then letting them self-destruct is a low-mainenance way of getting rid of them.




k




Ya?




Oh.

But aside from throwing down with two gym leaders, nothing major happened. I had big advantages over them, so I took them out, then I fought a shitload of grunts. It was a lot of actual time, but not many picture-worthy moments.

Now a word about Buzz. I'm not devastated that we lost him. He was slow. He always moved last, and that was annoying. His attack power wasn't making up for it either. So I'm going to permanently replace him with Prophet. Now I'm looking towards the Elite Four. I have nice type-advantages, but am I ready?

In Memorium
