So, reading a few other Nuzlockes has inspired me to start my own, but not with any of your fancy 4th or 5th Generation games. Nope, I'm playing good old Pokemon Emerald =D
I'll narrate probably a large portion of what I consider to be the more important parts of the game. The beginning will also be narrated to give a little backstory =D
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can't believe they're making me move after I told them I wanted to stay. Hell they wouldn't even let me sit in the front with them, they stuffed me in the back... ough. Oh well, I guess there's nothing much more I can do about the situation. I heard that there's a girl around my age in town, maybe her and I can become friends... I hope. Oh! Looks like we've arrived in town, let's get out of this sauna.
MOM: Izaya, we're here, honey!
Izaya: ...Yes...I see that...
M: It must be tiring riding with our things in the moving truck.
I: Oh, no, it was fine, I mean I was nearly crushed a few times along the way but it's no problem, really.
M: Well, this is LITTLEROOT TOWN. How do you like it? This is our new home! It has a quaint feel, but it seems to be an easy place to live, don't you think?
I: ...Well I'm glad you're excited about it at least...
M: And you get your own room, Izaya! Let's go inside.
I: Well that's the first bit of good news I've heard since we left home.
M: See, Izaya? Isn't it nice in here, too?
I: Yeah...I guess...
M: The mover's POKEMON do all the work of moving in and cleaning up after. This is so convenient!
I: Yeah! Slave Labour! Pokemon are our friends Mom, not servants. You know we could have done this on our own.
M: Izaya, your room is upstairs. Go check it out, dear!
I: Is this your way of grounding me for talking back at you...?
M: DAD bought you a new clock to mark our move here. Don't forget to set it!
I: How is a clock such a monumental item... ? Where is Dad anyways?
[Izaya goes upstairs to set the clock when his mother comes upstairs]
M: Izaya, how do you like your new room?
I: Well it's definantly nice having my own room, I also see you were nice enough to buy me a map of this new region we live in...thanks...
M: Good! Everything's put away neatly! They finished moving everything in downstairs, too. POKEMON movers are so convenient!
I: Yay slave labour! I still think we could have done it ourselves.
M: Oh, you should make sure that everything's all there on your desk.
I: Why, don't you trust that your slaves put everything away properly?
[Izaya's mother goes back downstairs}
I: Ough.. that woman...
[Izaya logs onto his computer]
I: Everything looks in order...hmm, whats this? Ah, Jess, you sent me a Potion, thank you.
[Izaya takes the potion and logs off. He goes downstairs]
M: Oh! Izaya, Izaya! Quick! Come quickly!
I: What is it?!
M: Look! it's PETALBURG GYM! Maybe DAD will be on!
I: Huh, so that's where he went...
INTERVIEWER: ...We brought you this report in front of PETALBURG GYM.
M: Oh... It's over.
Izaya: Yeah, I noticed that.
M: I think DAD was on, but we missed him. Too bad.
I: Yeah you'd think he has the courtesy to stay on long enough to make sure we see him. [scoffs]
M: Oh yes. one of DAD's friends lives in town. PROF. BIRCH is his name. He lives right next door, so you should go over and introduce yourself.
I: I guess I may as well so that I know someone here.
[Izaya leaves the house and goes to the next door neighbors]
???: Oh, hello. And you are?
I: Uh... generally one should introduce themselves first... but this is your house I guess and I did just walk in unannounced... My name is Izaya.
???: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
I: Uh...
???: Oh, you're Izaya, our new next-door neighbor! Hi!
I: Hello...
???: We have a daughter the same age as you.
I: Oh, it'd be awesome to meet her so that I have a friend!
???: Our daughter was excited about making a new friend.
I: So am I!
???: Our daughter is upstairs, I think.
I: Alright!
[Izaya goes upstairs and no one is there, he notices a lone Pokeball in the room and checks it out]
???-2: Huh? Who... Who are you?
I: I'm Izaya, your new next door neighbor, your mother invited me to go upstairs and search around your room!
???-2: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
I: Uh....
???-2: Oh, you're Izaya. So your move was today.
I: You... knew I was moving in... ?
???-2: Im... I'm MAY. Glad to meet you!
I: It's nice to meet you too May! I'm glad some people here know to introduce themselves!
May: I... I have this dream of becoming friends with POKEMON all over the world.
I: That's a wonderful dream May, I hope you wan accomplish it!
M: I... I heard about you, Izaya, from my dad, PROF. BIRCH.
I: Ah, okay now it makes sense that you'd know I was moving in.
M: I was hoping that you would be nice, Izaya, and that we could be friends.'
I: Well if you wanna be friends, then sure!
M: Oh, this is silly, isn't it? I... I've just met you, Izaya.
I: ... Uh, are you implying something... ? Yes, we've just met and we're now friends... just... friends...
M: Eheheh...
I: Um...
M: Oh, no! I forgot!
I: What?
M: I was supposed to go help Dad catch some wild POKEMON!
I: Alright, you take care then.
M: Izaya, I'll catch you later!
[May goes to her computer. Izaya walks over to May who seems very busy at her computer]
I: I...don't quite see how going onto your computer will he-
M: POKEMON fully restored! Items ready, and...
I: Alright then, I'll leave you be...
[Izaya goes downstairs and leaves the house]
I: Well Prof. Birch wasn't at his house, maybe he's in the local laboratory.
[Izaya enters the lab looks around and notices an assistant wandering around]
I: Do you happen to know where Prof. Birch is?
Assistant: Hunh? PROF. BIRCH? The PROF's away on fieldwork. Ergo, he isn't here.
I: Well I could see he isn't here douchebag. Thanks anyways.
A: Oh, let me explain what fieldwork is.
I: Uh, why?
A: It is to study things in the natural environment, like fields and mountains. instead of a laboratory.
I: Well that's good, you're not taking them out of their habitats and away from their families that way.
A: The PROF isn't one for doing desk work. He's the type of person who would rather go outside and experience things than read about them here.
I: He sounds like a great guy!
[The assistant turns away and begins wandering again]
I: Alright... thanks...
[Izaya leaves, he notices a path to the north]
I: Maybe the Prof. is up that way. Lets check it out!
[Izaya walks to the northern exit of town]
???-3: Um, hi!
I: Hello little girl, are you lost?
???-3: There are scary POKEMON outside! I can hear their cries!
I: Pokemon aren't that scary little girl.
???-3: I want to go see what's going on, but I don't have any POKEMON...
I: Just stay out of the tall grass...
???-3: Can you go see what's happening for me?
I: *sigh* Sure, alright. I was headed this way anyways.
[Izaya walks a little farther and hears the sounds of a middle-aged man screaming]
???-4: H-help me!
[Izaya runs up to see a man dressed in a lab coat running from a Zigzagoon. Izaya approaches the scene]
???-4: Hello! You over there! Please! Help! In my BAG! There's a POKE BALL!
I: Uh... alright, hold on a moment!
[Izaya looks through the mans bag, among other... things... he finds the Poke Balls. Izaya picks up one at random and throws it towards the Zigzagoon]
I: GO... whoever you are... !
[Izaya easily Scratches the Zigzagoon into submission]
Prof. Birch: Whew...
I: What happened?
B: I was in the tall grass studying wild POKEMON when I was jumped. You saves me. Thanks a lot!
I: Heh, no problem, but it was Torchic here who did most of the work. By the way, my name is Izaya.
B: Oh? Hi, you're Izaya! This is not the place to chat, so come be my POKEMON LAB later, okay?
I: Sounds fine to me.
[Birch and Izaya mysteriously appear in his lab after a blackout...]
B: So, Izaya. I've heard so much about you from your father.
I: Yeah... Wait, so he does leave the gym!
B: I've heard that you don't have your own POKEMON yet.
I: Yeah... I don't believe in the abuse of Pokemon...
B: But the way you battled earlier, you pulled it off with aplomb!
I: Well... it had to be done...
B: I guess you have your father's bloos in your veins after all!
I: That is how procreation works...
B: Oh, yes. As thanks for rescuing me, I'd like you to have the POKEMON you used earlier.
I: Oh, surely... I couldn't...
[Birch hands Izaya the Poke Ball]
B: While you're at it, give a nickname to that Torchic?
I: Heh... if you insist... Why don't I call you Phoenix.
B: If you work at POKEMON and gain experience, I think you'll make an extremely good TRAINER.
I: Well thank you for that compliment Professor...
B: My kid, MAY, is also studying POKEMON while helping me out.
I: Yeah, she mentioned that...
B: Izaya, don't you think it might be a good idea to go see MAY?
I: Well now that I'm friends with her, it'd be awesome to see her again!
B: Great! MAY should be happy, too. Get MAY to teach you what is means to be a trainer.
I: Heh, alright, I guess I'll do this!
[Izaya leaves the lab and goes north]
I: Hmm...while I am going to become a trainer now I should still live by my old beliefs... I promise myself that I'll only catch one, if any, Pokemon per place I visit and that if my Pokemon faints I'll heal it and let it go so that I might not cause it any more harm.
[Izaya makes his way to the first town] (OH COOL DIDN'T RUN INTO ANYTHING HERE =DDDDD)
I: Hmm, I wonder where May could be... she supposed to be researching... and I didn't see her on the previous route... lets check the west part of town!
[Izaya walks past a random stranger who pulls him back]
I: H-Hey!
???-4: Aaaaah! Wait! Please don't come in here.
I: And ? I'm looking for my friend and I need to get through.
???-4: I found the footprints of a rare POKEMON! Wait until I finish sketching them, okay?
I: Alright...I may was well check the northern part of town then...
[Izaya explores the northern part of town and it's route and it's not long before he notices May] (YEAAAAAAAH STILL NO ENCOUNTER)
May: Let's see... The POKEMON found on ROUTE 103 include... Oh, hi, Izaya!
I: Hello May, I've been looking for you. He gave me this Torchic before I left.
M: ...Oh, I see, my dad gave you a POKEMON as a gift.
I: Heh... yep. This Torchic helped me rescue your dad.
M: Since we're here, let's have a quick battle!
I: ...But why battle without a real reason...
M: I'll five you a taste of what being a TRAINER is like.
I: I guess there's no avoiding it...
[May sends out a Mudkip]
I: Hmm, a water type? This isn't good... Oh well, here goes nothing, go, Phoenix!
[The battle ensues, scratch, tackle, scratch, tackle, scratch, tackle, scratch, tackle, scratch, tackle, until finally...]
M: Wow! That's great! Izaya, you're pretty good!
I: Heh, I did well...
M: I think I know why my dad has an eye out for you now.
I: Oh, and why is that?
M: I mean, you just got that POKEMON, but it already likes you.
I: You... you think so?
M: You might be able to befriend any kind of POKEMON easily.
I: Well I'm glad for that...
M: Well, it's time to head back to the LAB.
I: Hehe alright, I'll see you around May.
[Izaya returns to town and sees May at the southern exit]
M: Izaya! Over here!
I: I thought you were going to go back to the lab...
M: Let's hurry home!
I: Uh... I wasn't heading that way but alright...
[Izaya follows may back to the lab]
Birch: Oh, hi, Izaya!
I: Hello Professor.
B: I heard you beat MAY on your first try. That's excellent!
I: Well she didn't use any water attacks... I was lucky...
B: MAY's been helping with my research for a long time.
I: Has she now? Why are you telling me this?
B: MAY has an extensive history as a TRAINER already.
I: Yes she didn't use my Pokemons weakness?
B: Here, Izaya, I ordered this for me research, but I think you should have this POKEDEX.
I: Should I really be trusted with such an advanced and expensive piece of technology?
[Birch hands Izaya the Pokedex regardless]
B: The POKEDEX is a high-tech tool that automatically makes a record of any POKEMON you meet or catch.
I: And you're trusting me with it?
B: My kid, MAY, goes everywhere with it.
I: Do you always give random children pieces of expensive technology?
B: Whenever my kid catches a rare POKEMON and records its data in the POKEDEX, why, MAY looks for me while I'm out doing field work, and shows me.
I: Ah, so that's what she meant with helping you with your research.
May: Oh, wow, Izaya! You got a POKEDEX, too!
I: Heh, yeah but I don't understand why really.
M: That's great! Just like me! I've got something for you, too!
I: Oh, what is it?
[May hands Izaya some Poke Balls]
M: It's fun if you can get a lot of POKEMON!
I: But you're taking them out of their habitats...
M: I'm going to look all over the place because I want different POKEMON.
I: Heh, kind of like me... I don't wanna remove too many from their homes...
M: if I find any cute POKEMON, I'll catch them with POKE BALLS!
I: Your methods seem less than... professional...
[Silence fills the room now as Izaya leaves the lab]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AAAAAGH SO MUCH SCRIPT IN THE BEGINNING AND I DON'T GET ANYWHERE IN THE GAME.
Well that's enough for now I think. I'mma take a small break for now from writing this and maybe pick up again later today or sometime tomorrow, not sure yet XD
