Just a quick note:
This story picks up in the middle of my Nuzlocke. Once I finish it, I'll be posting the comic I made about my Persian, Tiffany. That should give a bit more background. This is in FireRed, by the way.

"Xerxes, use Shock Wave!" I shout as the Bird Keeper's Fearow closes in for a Fury Attack. Xerxes looks back at me and nods, slamming his purple tail on the ground.
"NIDO....KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!" is all I hear over the crackle of electricity through the air as Xerxes's Shock Wave attack travels through the air and lands directly on the foe's Fearow. It cries out in agony as it falls through the air, unable to flap its wings after the blood-boiling heat of the attack charred its feathers and sizzled its tendons. A sickening crack resonates from the bird Pokemon's neck when it hits the ground, signaling the end of the battle.
The Bird Keeper runs over to his Fearow, cradling its head in his arms. "Take your Arceus-forsaken money and get away from me, you monster!" he cries, sobbing over his fallen friend. I return Xerxes to his Poke Ball without a word, shaking my head. I can still hear his sobbing as I walk away. I tilt the visor of my cap down over my forehead and shove my hands into my pockets, a single tear falling from my left eye.
"You know nothing of the loss I've suffered," I say quietly over my shoulder. He picks his head up and shouts something at me, but all I hear is a faint buzzing. "Ms. Bushido. Doryuzu. Tiffany," I whisper to myself as I continue down the road toward Fuchsia City.
