#stir-fry the zubat

[drampas-trainers]

Good Evening! We have successfully reached Oreburgh City after a very long day on Route 203. And honestly, a lot has happened!

Barry has apparently also gone towards Oreburgh City and surprised us just outside Jubilife City where he challenged Laura to a Pokémon fight! I'm impressed by his battle prowess and is absolute resolve to never give up. In the end, he still lost, but he managed to exploit Schnitzels timid nature and his Turtwig snuck in a very strong hit which made Schnitzel faint. I think out little boy was a little bit nervous after Turtwig retreated into his shell more and more and nothing seemed to have any effect, until he suddenly struck back. Well, because of that we had to go back to the Pokémon Center and make sure Schnitzel is okay. Also, yes, he is just fine!

//I wanted to make like video descriptions of major battles like gyms or barry, but this one dragged on for way too long because of Withdraw. Also Turtwig critted Schnitzel two times in a row and Lemonade as well, and i didn't get a single crit. I love RNG.

//Schnitzel also fainted against the last trainer in Oreburgh gate to a crit, so he has one more faint before retiring. I think he'd be totally fine that, timid as he is

Well, we then explored Route 203 for a bit, and Galois spotted an Abra! Laura wanted to catch it, but it kept teleporting away once we got close. At some point Laura made a good throw with a Pokéball, but it got away. We didn't see it again. We spent most of the day on Route 203, actually.

The last thing i want to mention is that we found a new friend when we passed through Oreburgh Gate!

This is Stir-Fry! He is so gentle, he didn't have anything against the nurse inspecting his teeth earlier!

Tomorrow, we will visit the Oreburgh Museum, and hopefully Laura will challenge Roark, the Gym Leader. I'm very excited to see how she will do!

Rules: I will do a sort of toned down version of the Nuzlocke challenge, because i think it's gonna be boring otherwise. But people said i shouldn't do a nuzlocke, so i won't go full sicko mode and kill a bunch of pokémon

Only the first Pokémon on each route can be captured, shiny clause and dupes clause apply

All Pokémon must be nicknamed

If a pokémon faints 3 times, it dies retires. Laura will assume it doesn't really want to battle and just keep it around as a pet. Since you didn't want a nuzlocke, i might keep this even more lax, but i think this could bring a little more spice into the playthrough.

Battle Style will be "set"

No more than 3 healing items per battle

I try to keep my pokémon below the levels of gyms and stuff, but i don't wanna look stuff up, so we'll see how it goes. (if i did a full on nuzlocke, i would look shit up and do a proper level clause)

At the end of the game, Laura will release all her Pokémon or let them be adopted by other people. I will make an event at that point. (except Hugo and Galois, but those aren't part of the games anyways, and maybe if the story develops for some more exceptions)
