Dark Fox does Nuzlocke! - The Crystal Saga: Episode 7 (what could go wrong?)

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

With six badges in tow, and the Mahogany Rocket base taken down, I head towards the Ice gym.




Being old isn't cool.




You have Dewgongs. I don't like Dewgongs.




I didn't heal. So, I paralyzed Dewgong and healed NotJayLeno. F Princess would wait, because I know the Dewgongs know some water-type crap.




Destroyed.




Here comes it.




Before.




After.




My prowess isn't the only thing you should be impressed by.




UMM




Oh, okay. I headed east from Mahogany before I flew back to Goldenrod. There were some trainers I took care of, one of which gave me a mirror match. Also, new route, new mon.




I don't really need another grass type but ehh.




No, it is you who needs to go to sleep.




Easy peasy.




I hope Bill likes it.




Okay, so, the Radio Tower got taken over, so I voluntarily fought five floors of Rocketeers to get to the top, so now I can go to the basement, AND WHO DO I MEET?




Oh look, it's Blasbo Biggins.




Blarfbo Baskins.




Snoopy.




But then who would take on the Gatr?




K let's du this.

Oh, wait, no grass-type attacks. No worries, just use Stun Spore, then Leech Seed, then Flash it until it's completely unable to hit you.




I caught you with your Sneasel down.




Oh yeah, and birdy learned Reflect.




Birdemic.




I'm gonna need a potion after this.

Five seconds later...




You son of a bitch.

The underground base led me to the Radio Tower director. He then gave me the key to the top of the tower to finish this sidequest.




But first, let me get some cheap heal-ups. I used all the super potions down there. I stuffed my bag with a bunch of each and carried on.




TIME TO MOW THE LAWN.









Oh my god you're so fucked.

Like, you don't even know how fucked you are.

Okay, so, what I forgot to take a picture of was the end result. I beat the Rockets out of the tower and got the Clear Bell. So, all in all, the sidequest was a complete fucking waste of time. I leveled up a bit, yes, but I could've done that anywhere.




Yes, I flew to Ecruteak just to use the PKMN center.




Then I flew back to Mahogany to beat the Ice cave, and this fucker showed up first.





Powder snow didn't really hit Soldier that hard. But it's a fair catch.




Fat Goomba is a go go.



Made it. But what to do? I decided to go south, because there are two untouched routes down there with free new mons.

First route.








Second route.




Oh, yeah. Route 46 can be accessed from the start. Maybe should've done that sooner...

So, yeah, I killed it.

Afterwards, I fought a trianer in the gym and figured I wasn't strong enough to face the leader, so I flew back up and trained in the Ice Cave. And shortly after that...




I WOULD HAVE NEVER GUESSED.




Sweet.




The Zubats, Golbats, Swinubs, and Deliburds were helpless against me. Here are some key things that happened in here, in pictures.

















I can't remember which city this was from, so just remember that I have three Johto PKMN centers remaining.

Also, I got waterfall. BUT NOT A SINGLE POKEMON I OWN CAN LEARN WATERFALL. Time to put the HM slave clause to good use.






Yadyadya, I went to the gym, killed some more trainers, and met Claire.




Nope.




Is that latex?




Presume, for me, that her first three Pokemon were not all that difficult. But Kingdra... fuck Kingdra.




I started with Raditz. I put down some stun spore and leech seeds. But I knew only NotJayLeno could finish the job, but he was injured. So, I switched to HM slave. I got a potion on NotJayLeno, then HM slave got Hyper Beam. This was not in the original script, so for all intents and purposes, Bald Bull is going in the dead box, who would've taken the hit had I not switched early in prep for Kanto.




You bitch. You're still paralyzed, seeded, and repeatedly flashed. You can't do shit.




You're out. Give me my badge.

And of course, she doesn't. She's hot, but she's a bitch. She makes me go to Dragon's Den to prove myself worthy. In prep for the free mon in the den, plus Dratini, I use an elixer on NotJayLeno, then send him & F Princess to the regular storage, as they were already fully healed, and could not be healed further by being withdrawn.




You wanna run that by me again bub?




Oh fuck I'm under-prepared. I still won, but still.




I NEED AN ADULT.




Served.



Yes ma'am.

I got the badge. I have to leave and re-enter to get Dratini though, so I do so.




Claire, being the tsundere she is, gives me her Dragonbreath and directions to the Elite Four.




I had used repel to get to the hut, but after it wore off, I went to find a mon. Magikarp will not do.




Got it.



The dragon has a human name lol.




Fun fact; getting every question right on the miniquiz earns a Dratini with ExtremeSpeed. Too bad you can't get that on your 6th gen games.




David gets fanged.




Before I stopped playing to mark this entry, I took this picture of the team I'd like to have, then flew to Elm.




What do I need this for again?




Here I am, about to take my first steps into Kanto. The Elite Four is going to be ridiculous, but I plan on training.

I'm a bit ahead of the entries in the blog, truthfully. In actuality, I'm at the gate of the Elite Four, but wanted to let you guys know that, instead of going back to Johto to a unique PKMN center every time I wanted to heal up, I would just use the healer on Route 26 for how many uses I had. Haven't done so yet, just wanted to post it before I did it to train up.
