Plaid does a nuzlocke

Whoof. Big post this time. I haven't been sleeping much because busy so i haven't had time to update the thread, but i have quietly bumbled through a couple more areas. I made a PR video too but idk if you can upload those somehow? Its a thing of beauty at any rate

Okay. Briefly trained a little more before fighting Viola, because bugfriend was on the cusp of evolving.



and then in we go!



I was fairly sure that Tim had this in the bag. Using nothing but gust he quickly tore Viola's surskit to pieces, leaving her with her final pokemon, vivillion.



Things were looking up. I was going to get through the first gym battle unscathed.



...or not.

What the hell was i going to do now? All but one of my pokemon don't fare well against bug or flying, and vivillion's infestation damage makes it really dangerous for anything to be in for more than one turn.

Looks like its time to resort to the trusty bidoof, the only one not likely to get completely hammered.



SHIT SHIT ABORT



At this point we're getting into the high risk high reward category, the home of Rigby. He has counter and quick attack, meaning that if he survives a hit he'll really fuck up whoever hit him. Pretty dangerous for him, though. Considering my other two options are the unevolved form of the opponent who can't damage shit and a grass type who will fold like a wet paper bag at infestation, its Rigby's time to shine.



And my boy delivers! I get infestation and a badge.

Off we go back to the pokemon center.



Goodbye my sweet child. I didn't really want you but you will be missed all the same.


Anyway, off on my way.



Hell yes.

I spent a while tossing up which colour flowers to go into, because i forgot there weren't purple ones on this route which have all the exciting pokes. I ended up eventually picking red. God i'm a boring person



true to form i got something i didn't really need or want, but thats okayy. Ledyba is pretty cute and honestly, thats all we can ask for here



She was promptly named leggy blonde and settled in to train with the rest of the crew!

Josie had a few good battles in the mazes, too.



I'm greeted at the gate to Lumiose city by two scientists trying to convince me to get my friends to punch stuff. Sure, i say, and take the tm. I guess it'll come in handy, provided i don't continuously cycle my pokemon which ends up being the nuzlocke way

oops



at this point i realise i have completely forgotten to wonder trade after the gym. Looking at my team, its reallyh hard to decide who goes? But since i just caught another flying/bug and the next gym is extremely deadly rock, it looks like Josie's time with me is up. Go free, my daughter, and enjoy your new life



Since i just released by flying bug, it'd be nice to get something to compliment the rest of my current team. A fire type? Ice? A proper water or ground type to combat the next gym?




OH FOR FUCKS SAKES
