so i was walking home the other day. my car broke down. i was not pleased.
i'm walking along the side of a busy highway, lamenting how flat Indiana is, and then i come across this.

Posted Image

i saw it behind some underbrush, and had to go check it out, right?
you don't just come across a giant fuckoff cave in Indiana and not check it out.

so i get inside, and it's god-damn dark. can't see a thing, and i've only got my cellphone camera.

Posted Image

that's about as far as i got before i thought, fuck this! too dark!
i know i know, you're disappointed because i pussed out.
look.
i'm not about to risk injury or death falling into a black pit because i'm irresponsible.
and the moment i think that?
i fall into a black pit because i'm an idiot.
it gets hazy here.

everything was black for a while. i'm falling for a while. not a long while mind you, just long enough for me to think, dammit, can't i just hit and die already?
and my wish was granted. the pain was sharp and local to my hips and shoulders. and it fucking sucked. it felt like my bones were hollow and caving un under the pressure of my jellied muscles. like my hip joint had been fucked by the entire bone in my thigh.
i'm not gonna lie, i screamed.
i wanted to vomit the pain out. it stung burned shot up my spine. everything.
it felt hot and i knew it was messy.
everything was already black, but then it went even more black.
i pretty much lost consciousness. it was probably me taking the manly way out, because had i been conscious any longer i'd be crying like a little girl.

so anyway.
fell down a mysterious cave hole. hurt. probably should be dead.

but i'm not dead, right? i'm sitting here. that'd be a mindfuck of an authorial device were i to use it though, huh?
i won't, i promise, because i'm fucking alive. i don't pull that shit.

anyway.
cutting to the chase.
i don't know where or when the fuck here is.

i woke up and
Posted Image

uhhh...

Posted Image

uhhh wait, i

Posted Image

jesus! what the hell is that?
look. lady. where am i? i don't even know why i'm asking you this i can't understand you.
do you speak english?

Posted Image

uh. what? are you asking me if I like dudes? naw lady, i'm 100% straight, discounting any drunk experiences that I neglect to remember.

Posted Image

right, right. down with the gyn.
let's stick to either/or questions so we can communicate, alright? this is all still weird for me.
wait.
i fell!
in a cave!
i think i broke my entire fucking body!
look lady. how did i get here? where am i? who are you?

...why am i better?
i feel fine.
how long have i been out?

Posted Image

oh, uh, my name, right?
yeah i guess that's a good thing to know.
i mean unless you can't pronounce it with your tongue. all these sounds you are making are completely foreign to me.
it's like you're from the moon or something.
oh but right.
my name.
ahh...

wow.
that's a good question.
i uh...

wow.
what is my name?


---------







Posted Image

TEDDY!
that's right.
my name is TEDDY.

like the uh... important... person?

Posted Image

yeah her.
so lady where am--

Posted Image

a tiny forested village.
does that mean i was rescued?
do i have a concussion?
why can't i understand any of you?

Posted Image

oh hi. why do you know me?

Posted Image

oh look. you also know me. hey whose house is this?

Posted Image

yeah, no. got it the first time.

Posted Image

so uh, what now?
is this for me?
congrats on the life-threatening and memory-altering injury!

Posted Image

well i'm sure this is just touching.
tell whoever wrote this that their sentiment and penmanship are beautiful.
i think.
so what's in the box anyway?

Posted Image

....what an adorable pig!
look at him he looks like he's wearing little super hero undies and that curly tail dawwwww.
ooh he feels so squishy and... oddly warm.

Posted Image

well i'm just gonna leave.
oh and hey guys, there's two other ones here so you can have them.
i don't need three i just need mr. piggles oh what will i name you aren't you so adorableee
so what are we gonna do now? i'm kinda hungry and i'd really like to fix my mental condition or whatever it is that is wrong with me but if you

Posted Image

wait what

Posted Image

why are we fighting our cute pets?
more importantly why am I fighting a smug looking salad?
look. in the real world, guess who wins pig v salad?
well.
let's do this!

Posted Image

uhhhh shit.
how do I drive this thing?
let's pick the right one!
haha! my pig just bitch-slapped you with his curly tail! he even fights adorable! no damage though.
what about the left one?
bahaha! tackled him straight into the wall! i just tossed your salad lady!

Posted Image

yeah i bet that pun made you angry.

Posted Image

hey cut it out. your salad's creeper stare is unnerving my pig.

Posted Image

bam. down for the count! wait is that 500 dollars?
you just throw that kinda money around?
i could get used to this.

Posted Image

oh.
uh.
shit. wow. this person's room is trashed.
and don't blame me! just cos i beat your ass unapologetically.
maybe you should have picked the other one.

well anyway I really should be goi--

Posted Image

what. you too? did you not just see the massacre?

Posted Image

ahahahahahahahahaha.
ahahahahahahah.
what is that?

Posted Image

is that like a clown platypus?
are you really going to fight me with that?
mr. piggles! tailbitchslap that mofo and then bodycheck him into that huge ass tv!

Posted Image

just cleansed the earth of an eldritch abomination.
you can thank me with delicious money.
about 500 dollars should do.

Posted Image

oh wow. mr. piggles looks hecka stronger.
so, i hurt stuff, and i make numbers go up? and get money?
i don't know where i am, but i love wherever it is.

so hey guys how about we clean up this place it--

i can't believe they'd just bolt on me like that.

Posted Image

hey you assholes if you're gonna flake on me at least have the decency to evade me for i don't know a minimum of 20 minutes. some degree of respect here.
now look we trashed this lady's bedroom. it's the only other room in this house, so it's obviously hers.
why were we even in there?
oh and where are you going now?!

Posted Image

lady! lady! look, i'm real sorry about the state of your room up there.
i opened a big present and-- oh god was that your present. were those your things?
ugh i have no idea what i'm doing honestly and

Posted Image

welp.
kicked my ass right out the door. at least she let me keep mr. piggles.
spiffy lens flare though!

oh, hey. that assfuck is up by the big building over there.
gotta go chew him out.

anyway. how are you doin mr. piggles?

Posted Image

you look god damn ecstatic. at least one of us is having a good time.

but first, y'know, mr. piggles is a pretty crappy nickname.
how about I give you a real name?
what name would you like little guy?

Posted Imagetepig, pig!

you are just the most adorable thing.
you're orange, brown, yellow, red, and warm?
you know what you remind me of?

Posted Image

mmm.
yep! you're nacho. how do you like it?

Posted Image...te...pig?

i love it too.
you're the best.

alright. now back to business.
hey, buddy! glasses and cowlick! don't run up into that lab! i'm gonna beat on your goofy platypus again, you room-wrecking, blame-shifting, skinny-pantsing androgyne!
ugh. get out of--

Posted Image

oh, hey lady!
woah wait what is this you're giving me?
i get that these balls are for the little pets but what's this foldy red thing?
is it like a new ds or something?

Posted Image

that really doesn't help at all.

Posted Image

okay just leave then fine.

well guess what you two?
you shitheads got me in trouble.
and i'm not okay with that.
and you. chica. your hat is awful and dumb and i hate it. jury's out on you.

Posted Image

but i don't accept. i want my payment in blood.






Posted Image

get back here you dicks!
everyone's in a god damn hurry here!

hey little guy. did your owners forget to groom your face?

welp. i'm sorry to say, but nacho requires pet blood for the pet blood god.

Posted Imagelili! pup!

I went with Serperior (nicknamed SNOOT in JP) in both my playthroughs so far, and nobody can love an Oshawott, so I decided to roll with Tepig.
However, I would really like to use a Hihidaruma at some point. He's so interesting in concept, but running two Fire/Fighting is downright silly.

Only five letters? Looks like we're going to see some interesting nicknames for these pokémon.


I tend to name my dudes something befitting of their final evolution when I do nicknames. I want to break that for this run, though, because there's no guarantee I'm going to have any of them left!
Especially the E4. I have no idea how I'm going to navigate them, because they absolutely wrecked me in the past.
But we'll see when I get there!

what.
no i don't want to fight i want to make sure i live through the night.
fine. fine. how about if i win you go calm that lady down about her house and her stolen property?

Posted Image

i would say great minds think alike
but that would imply your mind is somehow on par with mine.
and only one of us is wearing a doofy hat.

harry! spay attack!

Posted Imagepup?

uh. hit it with your hairface?

Posted Imagepup!

yeahyeahyeah i'll go easy on him i promise. even though bringing a salad to a barbecue is like bringing a gun to a jrpg.

Posted Image

Not like I can read what his ability actually is, but he did pick something up, so it's obvious he's got Pickup. But for the rest of them it's gonna be a lot of guesswork.

And yes, I love the doggie-style Pokemon in this gen. Stoutland and his pre-evos are a pretty solid early- and mid-game team member.

they are everywhere and they are unsettling.

ummmmm................. yes?

Posted Image

wait what is this?
why did you give me a
uh

Posted Image

a...grass monkey?
is his head a tree?
and he left.
huh.

and... gosh, you don't have any fingers.

...did he really drop a deformed monkey on my proverbial doorstep and then book it?
what is wrong with this place?

well. you're mine now.
so what do I call you?
what do I think of when I think monkeys and forests?

aha!

Posted Image

kiki. your name's kiki. how you feel about that lil guy?
just have to keep you away from my wallet.

Posted Imagepansage?


it's a...nevermind. why did i think you would understand me?
hah. what a silly thought. you're a monkey with broccoli on your head for crying out loud.

Posted Imagep-pan...

well anyway, welcome to team...
gosh. uh let's go with "bull moose."

for some reason it just feels right.
shit. maybe i'll run into a bullmoose in this crazy place.

well, let's head back to town and find a place to stay.


Posted Image

...they're everywhere.


Posted Image

how about this place? it's pretty darn fancy-lookin.

Posted Image

eyyy, cowlick! is this a school?
you gettin your learn on? these colorful lines look absolutely intriguing. i feel smarter already.

Posted Image

uhhhh.... sure?

Posted Image

oh for the love of all that is androgyne!
i need to stop agreeing to questions blindly.
fine. i'll whoop your stupid platypus.

Posted Image

welp kiki, let's see what you can do.
i like your variety of pretty colors. that's a plus.
let's do that green one.

oh and uh, nacho's red one summons forth unholy fire.
what can you do?
i'm excited to find out!
just know that your slot on team bull moose will be solidified or lost based upon the impressiveness of your green move.

Posted Imagesage...

so uh... green attack, go!

Posted Image













wait,
wait is that it? you like... blew grass at him?
like little leaves of grass?

guess who's fighting the next cat we come across!

Posted Image

woah woah woah.
kiki.
did you just knock out the platypus with grass?
how does that even?

Posted Image

no man i am legitimately shocked too.
hey you should go get a monkey of your own. some dude is just handing out monkeys.
i'm gonna head out though. nice fightin!

Posted Image

ooh there is a new man out front. and he looks... remarkably like a waiter.

hey dude! can i get some grub?
i haven't eaten since..... ever.
since i got here at least.
you know, i'm just rambling where's the food at?

Posted Image

is it in here?
can you bring me something?
anything?

















Posted Image








i'll take that as a no.


okay then. i'll just head inside. maybe it's a self-serve auto-mat kinda deal.

Posted Image

oh no.
no no no.
i am not solving a puzzle to get food.
is this some kind of psych experiment?

Grass attacks never really make sense. I can see how shooting fire at something works, and how shooting a blast of water might work; but throwing leaves at someone?

And, elemental wise; if you get blasted by fire or soaked by water, sure, that feels like a fire/water element attack. If you get tripped up by a knot of grass, how is that really a "grass" attack?

I've always thought of grass as a dumbed down translation of 'nature'. Grass is easier for younger players to comprehend than "the power of those living things that can't talk or move all that fast".

soooo... is this like a matching game?

Posted Image

*bzzzt*

guess that wasn't the right choice.
how about... water? cos it... makes fire go night-night?

Posted Image

aha.
this is the strangest restaurant ever.

Posted Image

thank god. you are a waiter.
can I have food? any food?
food-flavored food would be divine.
foo--- ......are those catchy balls on your tray?
wait do you serve those hair face dogs here or something?
or... *gasp* do you make bacon out of nachos!

Posted Imagenacho!

no nacho, it's not excited time!
it's abject moral anguish time.

Posted Image...cho?

i'll teach you the difference when you're older.
where was i?
oh right.
sick bastards!
i'm not even hungry anymore. put your soylent pet away.



ugh but i am hungry...

Posted Image

water this time. so what beats water?
fire boils water and turns it to steam.

Posted Image

*bzzzzt*

huh. that means... grass... beats water?
but water feeds grass.
if anything, grass and water are pals.
i mean, if we're getting technical, wildfires are actually a natural occurrence that spread conifer seeds and pare back any dead and dying vegetation, encouraging new and more vigorous plant growth, so by extension, grass and fire are also pals.


Posted Image

you know what i'm just gonna step on the panel.

which means we want fire here!
so it goes fire beats grass, grass beats water, and water beats fi--

water beats fire....

Posted Image

uhm, your dog is getting ...dusty.

Posted Image

holy crap he's sturdy.

usually nacho's hip checks break limbs and shit.

i really wish i knew what you were gloating about.
you and your dumb dusty dog.

Posted Image

and he hits like a truck!
was that fucking magic fairy dust or someshit?!

Posted Image

nacho, how are you holding up?

Posted Imagecho!

oh you are so not fine.
not good.

kiki.
i know i just got you kiki, but you're all i have.

and judge dredd's got something in reserve!

kiki, just finish him off. please.

Posted Imagepan!

woah uh you aren't looking too hot either


Posted Image

shit, kiki. that's a water monkey.
he is going to ruin nacho's shit by giving him a bath or something.

Posted Imagen-nach! cho!

Posted Image...sage?

no seriously, bath beats fire.
i just learned it by stepping on light-up floor panels.
gosh i wish everything else was explained to me in toddler-form because then i'd know what's going on.

here, have some of that disgusting purple vitamin water. it's not much, but you need to save all of our asses, kiki.

Posted Imagepansage!

...ohhhh. that shit is for the pets. well that actually makes a lot of sense.

The first gym is behind you now. The next one won't be so hard so long as you have some fighting types on your team.

That gym battle was intense. That critical must have felt like heaven!

With Nuzlocke, it seems like while the lows are much lower, the highs are ridiculously higher.

Now I have to get past my first gym. xD
If I grind any higher, my team will stop listening to me. I just gotta bite the bullet....
