>>55563830And thus ends my second attempt at an ORAS Nuzlocke combined with getting my shit kicked in twice by the trainer school teacher in Pokemon Sun.
However Sun has lost its spark because after beating Lana's trial and unlocking Lapras I was thinking of going back to Melemele to get a water pokemon. But seeing Route 6 so close my monkey brain activated and decided to take the risk of adventuring through uncharted territory i haven't been in since 2016 so idk wtf I will encounter there.
I had my beloved Machop up who I named Jiren De Gai, got challenged by a kid with a magby and I could not believe what happened next:
A text appeared during battle saying: "Jiren is remembering the first time it met you" as I see Jiren's yellow HP facing off against the equally XP leveled Magby.
Magby uses fire spin trapping Jiren and Jiren then is unable to one shot the magby. A turn ends and Jiren is like 8HP away from death. Magby wins the speed match and faints Jiren with ember. That loss was bad! I loved that grey dude and he died because of my laziness and recklessness. I thought of rebooting but decided against it because I wanted to go to the end but this run already lost alot of charm.
2 days later I tried my luck again and managed to have my other favorite Pokemon my Meowth named Coco get clapped to death by an Alomomola on the side of the beach near the Royal Battle Dome.
I instantly rebooted and havent touched that thing in like another 2 days now.
My own Nuzlocke rules are busting my balls but I refuse to lower the difficulty out of pride and a dopamine need for challenge and high adventure from Pokemon. Fuck this I could have done pullups while doing this shit.
