>>56077529But alas, as said, this work has been dead for the better part of fifteen years now. But nonetheless, it's a wonderful time capsule for that era's prose and the Pokemon fiction at the time. I enjoy this era for it's relative lack of "addons", without the needs for stuff like megas, drama with questionable mon designs, curious regions, and other stuff of that nature that has soured me on Pokemon for the better part since X&Y. It's a minority opinion to be sure, but I treasure the older works that don't have such fuss to worry about.
That said, you aren't here for such rants. So onward to the next recommendation.

My next one is unfortunately confined to deviantART, with archaic interface and even more horrible Eclipse layout. But the work is still there in it's entirety, albeit just as dead as my last recommendation, a theme that shall continue into this recommendation.
The fic in question is a HeartGold nuzlocke by the name of

Nuzlocke fics aren't always hitters, but when they *do* hit, they tend to hit hard. Usually, this being in the focus of character driven stories. This work, I am glad to say is among that rank. Enough that I took the trouble back in the day to individually screenshot each chapter for the lack of a tool to archive it. Painful, but otherwise worth it to say the least.
