nuzlocke gym challenge that ill give stats to so i can roll dice by myself in the dark in my room and also tweaking the team that ill put in a battle emulator and making nessa’s backstory less boring

in this nuzlocke story thing nessa is a marine technician, an engineer hired by the region's energy company to aid in the construct of rigs off a port town, she however fell in love with it, knowing that even if she quit, they'd just send someone else, and couldnt bare seeing it get all gunk’d up by the future drilling, she joined the league under a false identity and worked her way up through the ranks (all the while finding ways to sabotage and delay the construction) until she was high in enough in the standing to ensure tourist and trainers would stop in the town

finding out she was operating under a false name was rather a scandal and because of that, the league rules have changed that challengers must use their legal names or be disqualified

most of the earns, what she gets from battles and her sponsor, goes right back into the city, what she keeps for herself goes into beauty products (someone not super into sports might recognize her from cosmetic ads), books and upkeep on the old lighthouse she calls home, when she isnt doing league business, or dealing with the day to day labor of life by the sea, she's reading a romance novel; her collection is all nautical themed in one way or another; pirates, sailors, merfolk, often involving getting lost at sea, she's frequently late to league business because of her reading and daydreaming, if you cant find her at the lighthouse then she's likely not far from the sea, you might catch nessa staring outward at nothing in particular

her sponsor happens to be her old employer, the region's single energy company, some "conspiracy theorists" have made claim that chairman rose has ties to the company, but the news assures us all that those rumors are unfounded, at best

(nessa’s gym challenge (omg gym mission is such a silly thing to call them is not really a mission and if they were going to use a silly word they should have gone quest! i guess mission is like James Bond British Super Cool but omg, i might call them gym quests, thats silly but quests are Cool like get the holy grail!! and fits with the lore more? with knights and kings and dragons!)

(ability: volt absorb, moves: soak, electro ball, water gun, thunder wave)

(the championship cup; lanturn, moves: soak, charge, discharge,aqua ring)

(unlike milo’s gym, nessa’s is Basically canon, only its timed and trainers are all guarding switches like standing right in front of them, its a mix of swimmers, fishers, sailors, fishvenders,)

(ability: anticipation, moves: thrash, rest, snore, fissure)

(the championship cup: no change really here, maybe just a level or two higher, this things a t a n k!)

(okay like that whiscash is a wild high level, i feel like making her battle Extra tough makes up for her easier pre battle challenge, i think you’d have [british voice] one hour [/british voice] to make it through her gym maze, plenty of time to get out and come get your shit wrecked by her tanks)

(ability: shell  armor, moves: sing, life dew, sparkling aria, rain dance)

(this is the pkmn she makes big, she’ll use g-max resonance, and i just realized thats not a move it would get without an ice attack, im going to ignore that cause that, imo, is dumb, i cant belive with is making me miss those silly z-things dfh)

(champion cup rematch: sing, perish song, sheer cold, rain dance) 

(like theyre suppppose to be so hard no body every gets passed them, kabu rarely sees anyone let alone gets beat by one, so like!!! bring it!!! right? water has so many heavy hitting weaknesses too, so it like balances out in a way right?)

(ability: technician, moves: thunder shock, shock wave, venom drench, payback)

(champion ship cup; ability: charge, shock wave,toxic, overdrive, she gigmaxwhatevers this pokemon and uses the signature move g-max stun shock!)

(it has a lonely nature)

(besides you’re gonna grind on these gym trainers, im picturing the maze more involved as well, anyway so the swimmers are on the first level of the maze and have one pkmn each, theyre generated by how much time you took getting to them so no time at all youll get mantyke or pyukumuku if you take more than ten mins you get gyarados or milotic)

(ability: liquid voice, moves: disarming voice, aqua jet, baby-doll eyes, encore)

(champion cup rematch this pkmn is now a primarina: sparkling aria, hyper voice, acrobatics, hydro pump)

(fishers are next! get there quick and youll just have caterpie, blipbug or snom, take too long and youll be dealing with seaking, bascullin or barraskewda, then sailors on the next level if youre fast you just have to face wingull and wimpod, take too long and its ppelipper plus dhelmise and golisopod plus a barbaracle, the final level is fish venders! this last level is actually a trick! if you get to all of them fast they have more pokemon, if you take your time you just have one higher level one to deal with, theres shelder, krabby, qwilfish, octillery, corphish, pyukumuku, arrokuda and each vender will have six pkmn so a mix of those, if you wait it out theyll each have lvl 30 cramorant, a final trainer awaits you on the steps, he’s the old lighthouse attendant who’ll pepper in some lore, his team is: wishiwashi, seaking, kingler which he gigantamaxs and uses foam burst! beat him and be under the one hour and you can pass through the doors to the stadium!)

(ability: static, moves: thunder punch, dragon pulse, fire punch,laser focus)

(champion cup rematch: thunder punch, dragon pulse, ion deluge, hyper beam)
