Journal Entry 3:
Today, I was hit with a rude awakening. I thought once I was out the door, it would be easy to find my mom. However, that turned out to be quite the opposite.
We started off the day with Professor Birch giving Brendan some Poke Balls to start our journey. That way, we could make some new friends along the way. As soon as we walked out of New Bark, we did: a Poochyena! He was really energetic, and asked us if he could join us. Brendan took a liking to him immediately, calling him Magnus. Of course, Magnus was ready to train. He found another Poochyena, and wanted to show Brendan that he could do it.
Unfortunately, poor Magnus took a Tackle to the head.
What happened next will stick in my head for the rest of my life. Magnus was knocked back in such a way that his head hit a rock, cracking his skull. Brendan ran as fast as he could to the Pokemon Center, but it was already too late: he had lost too much blood.
Brendan didn't take it well. He kept hugging me, saying "I'm so sorry" over and over again. He buried him by the river on Route 103. As we were leaving, however, I felt that we were being watched. I decided to look behind the bush, when I found a Wingull watching us. I walked up to her, and asked her why she was watching us.
"Oh, no reason," she somberly stated. "I saw you lost your friend. I'm really sorry. I know what that feels like."
She then explained that she had recently lost her family to a pack of Electrike. She flew all the way from Route 110 to Route 103, in fear of her life.
"I don't really have anywhere to go. I just know how it feels to lose someone," she stated. That's when I called over Brendan. He saw Wingull's look, and asked her, "How would you like to join me on my adventure? I'm not much of a trainer, but I'd love to learn alongside you if you'd let me." Her face beamed as soon as she heard those words. From that day forward, she would be known as Kailani.
As we were continuing on our quest, we ran into another friend; a rather enthusiastic Wumple. He found us and decided that he would join our team. He was so set on joining us that he decided to forcibly enter one of Brendan's Pokeballs. He's not too bad, however; Hermie is certainly... jubilant, to say the least.
As we entered Petalburg, I saw a familiar face: the green haired kid! Apparently, his name is Wally, and he needed Torch- I'm sorry, "Summer"- in order to travel to his Uncle's house. It was really nice to talk with her again. I remember telling her everything: what Brendan was like, how amazing it was to beat down Blade, Magnus's death, and even the friends I made. Summer then told me about the friend she made, as well! She met a nice Ralts her trainer calls Zima. Apparently, he's quite timid.
It wasn't meant to last, however, as the gym leader, Norman, eventually found us. Apparently, he's Brendan's father! I never would have guessed that given how Brendan likes to keep to himself! Strangely enough, Brendan started to look down as his father started to approach him. He simply looked at his son and said "Did I tell you that you can get Pokemon?" I remember Brendan looking at his father telling him that all of his friends from Johto had left on their journeys a long time ago, and that he wanted to have a chance, as well. As Norman looked down at me, he asked Brendan what my nickname was. As he replied, he only said this:
"You're not ready."
He quickly went into his gym, closing his gym for the day. Wally told us that there was a gym at Rustboro we could challenge. Brendan told us we will be heading over tomorrow! I'm not going to let any more friends die on my watch.

Journal Entry 2:
Today was the best day ever! The professor was taking me to Oldale to pick up some more Pokeballs. However, as we were traveling back, a wild Zigzagoon ambushed the professor! He ended up dropping by ball! I thought he was a goner for sure, but luckily, somebody picked up my ball and send me out against the beast! I couldn't believe it! A chance to prove myself! Without hesitation, I dispatched of the Zigzagoon without any problems! I turned around to see who sent me out...
...only to find out it was that kid Brendan from next door. I never got their family. Sure, they're still new to town, but Brendan spends his time locked away in his room. I have no idea what he does up there.
The professor took us back to his lab, where he thanked Brendan for saving him! He then quickly looked down at me and asked me, "Hey, do you want to travel with this trainer?" This was the moment I was looking for! I quickly accepted, willing to embark on my quest to save my family!
One of the things asked of new trainers is if they wanted to give nicknames to each of us. Trainers like to think it's a way of making us feel unique. For example, May called Treecko "Blade", and the green haired boy called Torchic "Summer". I was really excited to get an awesome nickname, as well...
...but then Brendan decided to nickname me Rupert.
Rupert?! Who names their starter Rupert?!
At the end of the day, I couldn't complain. The professor tasked us to see May in order to gain a lesson about Pokemon battles. We found her by Oldale, where she and Treec- sorry, I guess I should say "Blade", now- were doing some training. Brendan explained his situation to May, and May agreed to help us out with a battle.
As soon as Blade heard Brendan call out my nickname, he couldn't help but bust out laughing. I remember he told me "Oh, you would be a Rupert! This is going to be way too easy." This made me extremely mad. That's when Brendan called out for me to use Tackle...
...poor Blade never stood a chance.
Despite all of his bark, it turns out he really has no bite. The feeling was surreal. I finally shut him up after all these years! All he could mutter was "Talk about a cheap shot, punk." Maybe I'm a bit hard on Brendan. Being with a trainer feels amazing!
As soon as the fight ended, May decided to head back to New Bark. It was getting late, and it was time for her to report her findings to her father. Brendan brought me home, and showed me to his mother, who couldn't help but muster a big smile! When she asked Brendan what she named me, she told Brendan something strange.
"Oh, honey. Your brother would be so proud."
I wonder what that means.
Today was a wonderful day filled with adventure! I can't wait to see what tomorrow has in store for us!

Journal Entry 1:
Let me be frank: I hate writing in journals. I think they are a waste of time, but the Professor has said that I need to take my mind off of work for a while. As such, he told me to write whatever comes to mind in this stupid journal. As such, let me start from the beginning:
I am a Mudkip enrolled in the Hoenn Starter Program, or HSP for short. Apparently, our species is so rare that our species has been hunted to near extinction in Hoenn. I remember the day my parents were captured right before my eyes. A strange man in pink hair had wanted to add my colony to his arsenal. He went on about finding the right "EVs" and "IVs" for his team. As he was about to capture me, my mother ran in front of the Pokeball and sacrificed her freedom for my safety. It wasn't much, but it was enough time for me to escape...
...or at least, that's what I thought.
I eventually was captured by Professor Birch. It wasn't all bad, though! Birch is really nice, and let me work in the lab with him! I even ran into some other Pokemon in the lab! I grew quite attached to Torchic. She was in a similar situation as me. We ended up growing quite close. Treecko, on the other hand, was such a bully. He constantly teased me, mocking me for having the type disadvantage. He always said no one would ever want me, and I would be stuck as Birch's errand boy forever. However, I never let that bring me down. I always trained when Birch wasn't working me out in the field. I thought someone would want to pick me for sure...
...but then we hit today.
Two kids wanted to pick their starter Pokemon for their journey. The first was May, Birch's kid. She's a bit stuck up, as working with he father has taught her a lot about Pokemon. She's never been challenged, and that's made her a bit cocky. The other was a kid in green hair. I didn't get his name, but he doesn't seem like someone who should be using Pokemon. I thought one of the two would want me on their team, but instead, May took Treecko, and the other kid took Torchic.
Now, I'm stuck by myself in some stupid lab without anyone to talk with. Maybe Treecko was right. Maybe I am worthless...
...no, no I'm not! I promised myself I would be the one to find and free my mother! I'm going to get stronger, and maybe one day, I'll find my mom! Until then, I just have to keep training!

This is something I've been looking forward to for a very long time! I was inspired by @Candy to do this story, so before I begin, I just wanted to say thanks to you for inspiring me to do this!
The rules of a traditional Nuzlocke are simple: you must catch the first Pokemon of each route, and when a Pokemon faints, it is considered dead. I will be nicknaming every Pokemon I catch. Since this is my first Nuzlocke, and this is ongoing, I thought it would only be fair if I created an ongoing story out of it, such as a journal entry. I've had a plot in my head for a long time, and I am looking forward to telling it. I would love your feedback, but if you have any, please send it to me through PM. With that being said, let's get started!
-
I've been wanting to try and write my own story for a very long time. However, I never knew what I wanted to write about. That's when I came up with an idea. I have never done a Nuzlocke before, and wanted to try one in Emerald, my favorite Pokemon game. As such, here is my question to you:
Would you be interested in a story about a Nuzlocke written in the style of journal entries? I am planning to write the story in the perspective of a starter, a Pokemon who has spent most of his time in the lab. Please let me know if you are interested in this story. Thank you. -

I don't want anything now, but I'm curious: what don't you have in your Pokedex?

This is for Reborn, not Rejuvenation. Having said that, if you have a psychic type such as Swoobat or Gothorita, it can do wonders with the boost.

Here's something funny that just happened: I ended up trading away my Shiny Kecleon named Ghillie, only to receive an Igglybuff in return. However, I noticed the OT was Ms. Linda. Since I never returned her Igglybuff, I decided to just return that Igglybuff instead. Now, her Igglybuff belongs to me, while she is holding on to another Igglybuff lost to Wondertrade...

1) Oooh, I didnt even think about that. I'll give it a shot.
2) Yep, I got it back out after posting this. Its been really tedious grinding it up on wild pokemon though.
3) That would be super useful, but sadly, Braviary can't learn it. None of my pokemon can, actually.
Yeah, grinding is pretty much the worst. Luckily, I think there is a guy you can continuously challenge to battles by the circus. I also think he gives you a lot of money for winning, so you can buy things such as Cotton Candies if necessary. Also, forget about number 3. Just found that out as well.

Hey there. So, I'm on my second playthrough of the game (came back for E16) and I'm at Samson right now. He pretty much bodies my entire team, as I don't have a lot of good bulk, and I'm pretty vulnerable to fighting type.
Heres what I have:
PARTY:
Ampharos: Level 62

-Thunder
-Power Gem
-Signal Beam
-Electric Terrain
Braviary: Level 55 (Just caught)

Gardevoir: Level 47 (Been boxed since I got Metagross, could be very useful)
Brave nature

Venusaur: Level 48 (Turned it into an HM slave when I stopped using it)
Calm nature

Dewgong: Level 39 (Leveling it for a special attacking water type)
Bashful nature

-Ice Shard
So, Gardevoir is the only promising thing I can see. But I'm not sure how to level it. My team struggles against the clown with the repeatable fights, so its not really viable for grinding right now. Any suggestions?
Don't worry, I also hate Samson. He's pretty much the worst if you're not prepared! I have three recommendations:
1) Catch Hawlucha and train it up, as it takes advantage of the field effects and hits back for super effective damage.
2) Get Gardevoir back in your party for now.
3) This sounds extremely nuts, but replace one of Braviary's moves with Nature Power if it can learn the move. This is because Nature Power becomes Acrobatics, which is field effect boosted.

Journal Entry 4:
Maybe I'm not cut out for this after all. Another teammate died today, and it was all my fault. I should have been more of a leader and took charge. I knew it was a bad idea, but I let Brendan make his decision, and now one of my friends is dead!
Perhaps I should just start from the beginning. It all began when we went through Petalburg woods. We met two new friends: a Poochyena named Midnight and a Slakoth named Penny. Penny in particular had warned us that a strange man in blue had been harassing a friend of hers in the woods. As we investigated, we discovered that he was indeed being assaulted by the man. He claimed to be from some cult called "Team Aqua", and said that he was going to kill us one by one for our interference. Funny enough, he went down quite easily. Hermie poisoned his Poochyena with a Poison Sting, and Kailani finished him off with a Water Gun. It was crazy to see what happened next: Hermie's String Shot was out of control. It surrounded him until he finally evolved into a new Pokemon: a Cascoon! We were all extremely happy for him!
We eventually made our way to Rustboro, where Brendan was quick to notice the gym. Of course, a good trainer would have taken time for us to train.
Not Brendan.
He immediately threw us into the fire. I specifically remembering the urge to scream at him to stop, but I kept my feelings bottled up. I wanted to find my family, and I thought the fastest way of doing that was by letting Brendan do what he wanted. We ended up fighting our way to the first Gym Leader, a confident school girl named Kailani. She asked Brendan how much they had trained for this day, and he told her that they had just arrived in the gym. All she could do was give him a horrified look. Gym leaders aren't allowed to turn down challengers, after all.
Brendan had started the fight off with Kailini. She used Water Gun once...
...but it wasn't enough to KO.
The Geodude countered with a Rock Throw, but he hit her straight on the skull.
Critical Hit.
I remember Brendan frantically reaching for his Pokeball in order to call her back. I remember Roxanne's cold, dispassionate face as she told Brendan to send out her next Pokemon. I immediately rushed in to finish them off. I'm not really sure what happened next. I was so mad, I entered a state of rage. I remember finishing off her Nosepass, only to see my other teammates look back at me with a horrified look on their faces. Hermie even shed a tear.
After winning the battle, Brendan walked up to Roxanne, expecting a gym badge. However, she quickly told him that he would not be receiving his badge today.
"What? Why not?" he asked. "I beat you fair and square! You're supposed to give me a badge when I win!"
"You? You won?" Roxanne replied with a disgusted look on her face? "If your Mudkip hadn't taken control, you would have lost the battle! You didn't even issue a command! All that tells me is that you have no control of your emotions."
"But... Kailini... you killed her..."
"No, Brendan. You killed your Wingull. You should have trained before coming here."
All I can remember next is Brendan calling us back, crying to the Pokemon center. I get what she was saying, but I'm still the starter. I should have been there to protect Kailini. Not even a full day, and I already can't keep my promise.
