Pokemon Y Nuzlocke Glittering Cave

The Glittering Cave started as a long tunnel.  There were little side tunnels, too, but they were really small and kind of claustrophobic.  I did catch a rhyhorn that I named Rhyolite after many of the rocks found in the cave.

After a while, the cave opened up into a much larger cavern.  There was a man dressed in a red suit who said he was part of Team Flare.  He wouldn't let me go any deeper into the cave without battling him. He had a houndour and a zubat which I was able to beat pretty easily.  There were a few more trainers dressed in this fashion, and they each made me battle.  I don't mind much.  Its only going to make me stronger.

Serena finally caught up with me and we took on a pair of these goons together.  It was another easy battle.  We finally made it to the end of the cavern.  The research assistant hadn't even noticed these Team Flare grunts.  He gave us our choice of one of the fossils he had found.  I chose the jaw fossil which was revived to a tyrunt when we got back to the Fossil Lab!  I cant wait to test him out in battle!

Pokemon Y Ambrette Town and Spikes Passage

After Dart's death, I no longer felt like training.  I solemnly headed to the Pokémon Center in Ambrette Town.  Once my pokemon were healed, I headed to the Fossil Lab.  Serena met me there.  A scientist directed us to the Glittering Cave where an assistant may be able to provide information on mega evolution.

We headed to Route 9 where we had to ride a rhyhorn to get across the rocky terrain.  I had no problems, considering I've rode rhyhorns all the time, but it was very entertaining to watch Serena on her rhyhorn.  I was attacked by a hippopotas which I caught and named Tamus.  This trainer challenged me to a sky battle, but I hadn't switched back to my main team and didn't have anyone who could participate in the battle.

We finally made it to the front of the Glittering Cave.  Well, I made it.  I could see Serena trailing behind on the horizon.  A woman at the front of the cave healed my pokemon before I entered the cave.

Pokemon Y Nuzlocke The Death of Dart

  I decided to do some training before heading to the Fossil Lab.  I could tell my team was really growing strong.  A few of my pokemon even evolved!  L'eaupin finally evolved into a marill and then even into an azumarill!  Yinyang evolved into a ninjask.  Then Yinyang's empty exoskeleton animated and became a shedinja!  I renamed them.  The ninjask is Yin while the Shedinja is Yang.

Then something horrible happened.  I was battling a wild inkay.  I hadn't been to a Pokémon Center in a while.  I struggled a bit and had to switch my pokemon out a few times.  I finally sent out Dart.  He still had more than half his HP, so I thought he could finish off the little squid.  It landed a critical hit the turn that I switched Dart in and my very first pokemon...died.

Dart is dead!  He started this adventure with me, and I always imagined him by my side, battling the Kalos League champion.  Now, this dream cannot happen.  I failed you, Dart!  I am so sorry.

Pokemon Y Nuzlocke Connecting Cave and Muraille Coast

Connecting Cave was really short, but there was someone there to heal my pokemon.  It took a while to find any pokemon, but I did finally find and catch a Zubat.  I named it Myotis, after a genus of bats.

When I got through the cave and entered Route 8, Sina and Dexio approached and updated my pokedex with the Costal Dex!  I found a Spoink which I caught and named Artie after the order of animals that pigs come from.

A few wild battles and I was hurting for I pokemon center.  I rushed my way through the rest of the route.  I didn't realize that this route was so long!  There was a creator that I had to jump from rock to rock to get through it!  Serena showed up again as I got the Ambrette Town and suggested we check out the Fossil Lab!

Pokemon Y Nuzlocke Riviere Walk

After defeating the snorlax, I moved on to Route 7.  Tierno and Trever met up with me to check out the day care and the Battle Chateau.  I'll check them out more later on.  I decided to train some of my other pokemon so that I can switch them when I need to and not have to worry about them being under leveled.

I caught a spritzee which I named Phaethorn after a genus of hummingbirds.  I also got Tuatara to evolve into an Ivysaur!  Its taken some time, but Rosa and Yinyang are able to hold their own, now, too!  I did box Dart so that I could work on training some of the others, and I am still working on evolving L'eaupin.

At the end of the route, Serena challenged Trever and Tierno to a double battle with me on her team.  I felt like we would have an easy time beating the other boys, but they only attacked me!  I had to keep on changing my pokemon so that they wouldn't die!  Finally, we did beat them, but I almost lost Rosa and Iroh in the process.  After beating them, I ran for the Connecting Cave.

Pokemon Y Nuzlocke Camphrier Town and Parfum Palace

There wasn't much to see in Camphrier Town.  Shauna and I went to Shabboneau Castle to ask about mega evolution but the people there hadn't even heard of it before.  And then the attendant rushed off to Route 7!

We followed him and found a snorlax sleeping on the bridge!  We learned that the pokeflute could wake up the snorlax, but it was on display at the Parfum Palace.  It cost $1000 dollars just to enter the place!  Once inside, we hunted down the owners frufrou.  We told him about the snorlax and he handed over the pokeflute to us.  The owner of the palace also put on a fire works display because he was so happy to have his frufrou back!

Shauna wanted to stay and watch the fire works with me.  We were alone on the balcony.  The fireworks where really cool, but Shauna kept on stepping closer to me.  By the time the show was over, we were touching.  I think she may have a crush on me or something.

On the way back from the Parfum Palace, I caught a nincada!  I named it Yinyang.  Dart evolved into a frogadier, too!  My first pokemon evolution!

We handed the pokeflute to the castle attendant who played a beautiful tune!  The snorlax woke up and attacked!  It was a tricky battle, but Dux finally finished him off.  Time to head to Route 7!

Pokemon Y Nuzlocke Versant Road

Upon entering Route 5, a Lucario rushed towards me.  It turns out that the Lucario is owned by Korrina, the Shalour City gym leader.  She said that it must be drawn to my aura.

I fought my first double battle, using Dux and Iroh to win.  Then, I caught a doduo, which I named The Comedian.  The Comedian was, then, sent to the PC.  L'eaupin learned the move Helping Hands, accidentally forgetting Bubble Beam in the process.

Tierno challenged me to a battle, asking me to show off any cool moves that my pokemon have learned.  After beating Tierno, Trevor gave me a Honey which attracts hordes of pokemon.

The trainers seemed to be a lot tougher here.  Or maybe its just that there were a lot more of them.  There were lots of ramps to grind on to get to places, too.  L'eaupin still hasn't evolved but I am hoping it will happen soon!

Pokemon Y Nuzlocke Lumoise City

I followed Sina to the Professor's lab.  He checked the progress of my pokedex, saying that I have encountered 36 species of pokemon.  Professor Sycamore said that he chose to give me a pokemon and pokedex because he had heard that Grace the Ryhorn racer and her son were moving to Kalos from their old home which is very far away.  Then he challenged me to a pokemon battle!

Professor Sycamore use a Bulbasaur, a Squitle, and a Charmander! Dux made quick work of Bulbasaur, and battled the other two like a champ!  After beating the Professor, he asked me to choose which pokemon I wanted.  Given the lack of a grass type on my team, I choose Bulbasaur and gave it the nickname Tuatara, the common name of a lizard species.  I boxed Buteo in order to add Tuatara to my team.

The Professor gave me a strange stone called Venasaurite.  Once all of us kids had gathered at his lab, he asked us to research the mysteries of Mega Evolution!  I didn't even know that that was a thing!  He explained it to us and told me that the Venasaurite would help Tuatara to mega evolve!

As I was leaving the lab, Sina introduced me to Lysandre.  At Café Soleil. Serena and I say Lysandre talking with the famous actress Diantha!  Serena told me that Lysandre is the head of Lysandre Labs, makes sense, and created the Holo Caster.  The two of them were having a weird conversation about beauty and youth.

Serena asked is we could compete against eachother, as friends and rivals.  I already considered her a rival anyway.  Tierno, then sent us a message on the Holo Caster telling us to head to Route 5.  I do want to point out that there was a large blackout preventing us from exploring much of the city.

Pokemon Y Nuzlocke Parterre Way

After receiving the Bug Badge and healing my pokemon, I set out for Route 4.  I caught a flabebe in a red flower patch.  I named her Rosa, after a genus of plants with red and yellow flowers.

I'm training L'eaupin, trying to make him happy enough to evolve.  So far it hasn't happened but he does seem to be increasingly friendly towards me.

There were a couple trainers on roller skates.  Those were fun battles.  My team keeps getting stronger and I am hoping to report some evolutions to you all soon.

Professor Sycamore's assistents, Dexio and Sina, were waiting for me at the end of the route.  They directed me towards Professor Sycamore's lab.

Pokemon Y Nuzlocke Santalune City Gym

With Dart the Froakie and Buteo the Fletchling at level 14, Iroh the Pansear and Dux the Farfetch'd at level 13, and L'eaupin the Azurill at level 12, I decided it was time to face the Santalune City Gym.  I loved looking at all the pictures as I entered.  It was like an art gallery!

I slid down a pole to get to the main part of the gym.  It was a giant spider web!  There were three trainers waiting for me as I navigated the maze of webbing.  Once I finally got to the end, I healed up my pokemon with some potions that I have found during my travels.  And then it was time for the big battle!

I sent out Iroh, thinking Incerate could take down anything she through at me.  Viola chose a Surskit.  The additional water typing scared me a little bit so I switched out to Dux instead.  Dux's Arial Ace took care of Viola's Surskit in one hit!  Her Vivillon was quickly dispatched as will.  After beating Viola, she gave me the Bug Badge as well as TM 83!  I got my first gym badge!  I can't wait to get badge number 2!

Pokemon Y Nuzlocke Santanlune City and Detourner Way

I ran to the Pokémon Center as soon as I made it to Santalune so that I could heal my pokemon.  Tierno showed up and "had" to explain the layout of the center to me.  Sorry, guys, but I don't have to be shown every little thing just because I am new to Kalos.  I'll stop that train of thought here to avoid going any deeper into a rant.

Anyways, after healing my pokemon, I headed for Detourner Way.  The girl that nearly ran me over was standing in front of the Pokémon Gym, so I decided to see why she had been in such a hurry.  She challenged me to a battle and then gave me my own pair of roller skates when I beat her!

In Detourner Way, I caught a Farfetch'd which I named Dux.  Something about the name just stood out to me.  I battled even more trainers, and then I ran back and forth between Ouvert Way and Detourner Way to train my pokemon before challenging my first gym leader.  I trained so hard that Dux learned Arial Ace and Iroh even learned Incinerate! Look out, Viola!  Here I come!

[rykerofkalos]

Pokemon Y Nuzlocke Overt Way

We finished our discussion of our future plans and made our way toward Santalune City.  Some girl sped past me on her roller skates and nearly knocked me over!  I wonder where she was headed in such a rush!

I ran around in the grass and came across an Azurill.  Once caught, I named it L'eaupin.  A play on the French words for water and rabbit.

I tested out L'eaupin's strength against a couple trainers as well as some wild pokemon.  I'll need to train him a little more before I can take on the Santalune City gym!  I'll probably take him over to Route 22 to do some more training as well.

[rykerofkalos]

Pokemon Y Nuzlocke Santalune Forest

Tierno and Trevor met up with us as Shauna, Serena, and I entered the forest.  Shauna decided to stay behind me and offered to heal my pokemon when they needed it.  I ran out into the tall grass and caught a Pansear!  I named it Iroh, after a character from a TV show.

Iroh, Dart, and Buteo took on many wild pokemon as well as several trainers.  I can already tell that they are getting stronger!  Tierno also battled a trainer, and the others ran around looking for new pokemon as well.

After making it through Santalune Forest, we all discussed out plans for this journey.  Trevor wants to see all of the pokemon and record them in his Pokedex!  That might be a little too big of a task for suck a small kid.  Tierno wants to see how different pokemon move.  Serena and I are going to take the Kalos Leauge challenge.  Looks like I have a new rival!  And Shauna wants to be friends with her pokemon.  I think.  I don't quite understand her, yet.  Oh well, off to Route 3!

[rykerofkalos]

Pokemon Y Nuzlocke Avance Trail

Serena and Shauna were waiting for me when I got to Route 2.  Serena's parents are pokemon trainers, so she decided to show us how to catch pokemon.  After her demonstration, I tested out my skills and caught a Fletchling! I gave it the name Buteo, the genus name of many hawk species.

I spent so more time running through the grass and battling wild pokemon.  Finally, I decided to head into the forest, but I was challenged to a battle before I could get there.  I beat the youngster's Zigzagoon pretty easily.  I cant wait to see what pokemon I find in Santalune Forest!
