Nuzlocke Trio Introduction

Thought I'd go ahead and give a grand introduction of this concept. I and two friends of mine (Cyberohero and Charzonsos) are going to be playing a Nuzlocke challenge all at the same town and fictionalize it as though our three characters are traveling  together. We will be starting from the Kanto region with Fire Red and Leaf Green and we will hopefully travel all the way up through Unova in Black/White and Black/White 2. We shall chronicle these journeys in a couple different ways. Firstly we'll be doing a podcast during the actual run. We'll take cliff notes about our travels and compile them after the run and turn those notes either into a Nuzlocke Trio Comic or potentially into Audio Dramas.

One thing is for sure. The adventures we share will share should be enjoyable for us and for those who follow our journey via the interwebs. Ladies and Gentlemen! Prepare yourselves for Nuzlocke TRIO!!!

NuraMike Nuzlocked Attempt 2: Pokemon Black 2

Nuzlocke II: The New Story

The Rulez
1. When your pokemon Faint they are considered dead and are sent to Heaven (Either released or permaboxed).

2. You may only catch the first pokemon in each new area and no others.



Episode 1: Kelvin

Today I was awakened by my mother who was excited to inform me that I'd been asked to help complete the pokedex. I was eager of course to recieve my new partner and travel the world. My friend Gibbs and I headed to Aspertia lookout. Where Bianca was waiting with my new partner.

Bianca: Oh You're Nura!? I'm so sorry. You've been asked by Professor Juniper to go on a journey and work on the Pokedex. We've selected this pokemon to be your parter. He is a Tepig.

Tepig: Hello. I'm pleased to meet you.

Michael: Uhmmmm You're awful serious.

Tepig: It's in my nature.

Michael: So what do I call you.

Tepig: Tepig is just fine.

Michael: That won't do. It's too uncaring. As thou you have no identity beyond your species... How about Kelvin?

Kelvin: Kelvin... I like it!

[Kelvin, Tepig; Met at Lv. 5 in Aspertia City; Serious Nature / Quick to flee]

Michael: Alright Kelvin! Let's go!

Gibbs: Not so fast. You think just because you have a pokemon and a pokedex you're ready to go out and face the world? I think not. You need to see what it'll be like. Challenge me, Michael and I'll show you what's in store.

*****==Michael VS Gibbs==*****
Michael and Kelving open up strong with a twin tail-whip to lower Oshawott's defense and then ride in with attacks to win out the fight. The flush of victory is short lived however as Gibbs speaks to Michael again.
*****==Battle Over==*****

Gibbs: You've got the basics down for sure. But any ten-year-old knows the basics. It's a harsh world that we're about to face. Especially you. You're part of 'the Challenge' now. You need to be ready.

Michael: I guess you're right. Any last advice for me, Gibbs?

Gibbs was walking away and looks back over his shoulder.

Gibbs: There are three rules to follow: Never give up, Never forget, and Always be ready for the next challenge. I'll see you down the road, Squirt.

Michael: Hmmmm... I wonder what he could mean... Never forget. H-HEY did you just call me a Squirt!? YOu get back here!!!

Michael goes running down the stairs of the overlook after Gibbs.

~End of Episode 1



Episode 2: Alder

Before I left Aspertia I stopped by to let Gibbs's Parents know where he went. It was an odd experience as his Mom, just before I left, pulled me aside.

Gibbs's Mom: Michael, If Gibbs loses his way on the path, or in life really, please help him, won't you? He's the kind of person who, well, lets rage build inside him.

I left them with the assurance that I would be there to help Gibbs if things ever got bad out there. I felt strange making such a promise since it seemed the reverse of the usual pattern with he and I. Gibbs had always been my mentor. Now I was expected to be the one helping and supporting him? I couldn't see what they meant at the time.

On route 19 I met a Purloin. More precisely, he tried to con me out of my granola bar with his cute act. Needless to say this cheesed me off, but since he was the first pokemon I met on the route I caught him. I named him Danny after some famous conman I'd heard about somewhere. He might have a bit of a bent personality but I think he and I will get along great. Provided he leaves my granola alone.

[Danny, Purloin; Met at Lv. 4 on Route 19; Brave Nature / Often dozes off]

Trained with Danny a bit on route 19. Was headed into Flocessy town when a man appeared and JUMPED OFF A FREAKIN CLIFF!

I'm not talking one of those dinky little jumping ledges This was a MASSIVE FREAKIN CLIFF. Even more to my surprise it was Alder the former League Champion.

Alder: Ho there, Trainer! I see you've just set out on your journy. Your pokemon seem to have grown already but you don't yet seem to understand what it truly means to be a trainer. I might be able to help you with that.

Alder's offer was tempting but I was worried about Gibbs. I wanted to check up on him before I did anything else.

Michael: I'd be glad to train with you, Sir Alder, but I have a friend who came through here ahead of me and I'm worried about him.

Alder: Say no more, your first duty is to your friend. I believe I saw some one headed to Flocessy ranch. Good luck, young Trainer.

And so I headed to Flocessy ranch to find Gibbs.

Once there Gibbs wasn't hard to find.

Gibbs: Is that all you got!? ... Oh, Michael, good to see you here. I've been doing some training around the ranch. Let's see how tough you've become since Aspertia.

*****==Michael VS Gibbs==*****
Danny VS Oshawott

Called in an assist from Tepig for the first move to cut Oshawott's defense. Oshawott responded with a strong offense and then a debuff of his own. I knew I'd be treading a fine line in this battle, as I'd caught and Trained Danny since Aspertia while Gibbs had focused on training with Oshawott.

Sure enough, despite attemptign to cut his attack I was soon forced to recall Danny and send out Kelvin. This tactic boded ill as well since Oshawott proceeded to land a critical hit right out of the gate.

Through Perserverance and a clutch use of a potion at a critical moment I was able to edge my way to victory.
*****==Battle End==*****

Gibbs: Not bad, you've come pretty far. What are you doing all the way out here at the ranch though? I figured you for a straight shot to Virbank and a visit to the Pokemon Gym there.

Michael: I just got a bit worried about you, man. Your parents seemed troubled about you heading out on a journey.

Gibbs: Ah, I see. They know me pretty well. I'll be honest with you, I'm not a hundred percent sure I'm on the right track either. But a man's gotta look forward or else he'll never accomplish anything.

Michael: Yeah.

Farmer Jeb: Ah though I heard a ruckus over here. Seems a coupl'a new pokemon trainers have come to train at the ranch. My name's Jeb, I own the place. This here's my wife Vidalia.

Vidalia: Ya'll just sit tight, I'll have your pokemon all patched up in a jiffy.

Farmer Jeb: Have Ya'll seen a Herdier wanderin around anywhere nearby? I just can't figure out where poor Gizmo's got off t.

Gibbs: Your pokemon is missing!? You seem awfully calm about it.

Farmer Jeb: Spose I am. don't mean I'm not a mite worried he might've run off and gotten hurt or in trouble.

Gibbs: We'll help you find him, won't we, Michael.

Michael: Sure, wouldn't want the poor guy to get lost.

And so we set out to search the woods behind the ranch for Gizmo the Heardier. Little did we know what awaited us in those thickets was a blast from the past.



Episode 3: Plasma?

Gibbs and I split up in the woods to cover more ground. So it was that I was alone with my pokemon companions when we were attacked... but not in the way you might think.

Danny is wandering a little behind the group when he stops having heard a rustling in the bushes. He wanders in closer to take a look.

Danny: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Kelvin and Michael spin around shocked to hear Danny's scream and rush to his aid only to find him in a, well, compromising position.

Danny is Paralyzed and a mareep has tackled him to the ground and is apparently trying to kiss him.

Mareep: Mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah.

Danny: Um, boss, could you get this crazy broad off me?

Michael: I dunno, Danny, I think she likes you.

Mareep: Ooh Ravish me you stunningly handsome Tomcat you!

Michael and Kelvin look deeply disturbed at this point.

Danny: Come on, Kelvin, you at least have to see how creepy this is right?

Michael: Don't worry Danny I got this. *Pulls out a pokeball*

Danny: Oh no! Oh no no no no...

*Later*

The four of them are walking through the woods. the Mareep following Danny around all infatuated.

Danny: I really hate you, boss.

Michael: Be nice to Serta, Danny.

Danny: I really, really hate you, boss.

Serta: Aw, is my big strong tomcat all flustered? It's okay to be embarrassed. There's lots of negative press out there about loving sheep I understand.

[Serta, Mareep; Met at Lv. 5 in Flocessy Ranch. Naughty Nature / Likes to thrash about.]

Danny looks apalled at the thoughts that line has provoked.

Kelvin: At least now we know why she's like that, kinda.

*Need to write out the Team Plasma Encounter and The Alder Visit*



Episode 4: Aspertia Gym

We see a picture of Mike walking through the school that he and Hugo had attended until recently, He has memories of playing with Hugo and his Snivy.

Michael: This is where I came to learn how to read, and write. Where I came to learn about the world and pokemon. Today I'm here to learn again. But today the lessons are less forgiving of failure. A mistake might not just mean a bad mark. It could mean the life or death of a friend I've come to trust.

He has come to the doors at the back of the classroom. The doors that lead out onto the back yard where the Gym has been set up.

Michael: This is where the true tests begin. Our destiny awaits us.

Kelvin: Yeah, Let's go.

Danny: Let me at'm.

Serta *Tackle-hugs Danny*: OOh my big strong tomcat! You'll show that big scary gym leader whose boss for me won't you?

Danny *Pushing Serta away*: Get offa me Cotton ball!

And so the four entered their first Pokemon Gym.

Michael: Sounds good. I plan to go all the way to the top.

Cheren: Oh, You must be a challenger!

Michael: I am.

Cheren: Welcome to Aspertia City Gym. I'm Cheren the newest Gym leader. You will be my first challenger. I wish you luck.

Michael: Same to you, but I warn you. There's no force on earth that can withstand my determination.

Cheren *Smirk*: I like your style. Well then Let's go!

Just as the beginning of this story was the same as the last, so too is the end. I was defeated in a party wipe. My pokemon fallen and all hope lost. I've begun my Thrid Nuzlocke attempt and am happy to report that I've managed to get further this time, but I am refraining from writing up the 'story' until I have finished this time.

NuraMike Nuzlocked Black Two: An Untimely End


Episode 7: Aspertia Gym

We see a picture of Mike walking through the school that he and Hugo had attended until recently, He has memories of playing with Hugo and his Snivy.

Mike: This is where I came to learn how to read, and write. Where I came to learn about the world and pokemon. Today I'm here to learn again. But today the lessons are less forgiving of failure. A mistake might not just mean a bad mark. It could mean the life or death of a friend I've come to trust.

He has come to the doors at the back of the classroom. The doors that lead out onto the back yard where the Gym has been set up.

Mike: This is where the true tests begin. Our destiny awaits us.

Art: The Pokemon League. It's a long and tough climb. Do you think we can make it?

Violet: Only one way to find out, boys.

Violet walks through the doors to the gym followed shortly by Mike and Art.

They are greeted by an older man in sunglasses and a white referee type suit.

Clyde: Hello, I'm Clyde. I'm the new trainer's guide to the pokemon league. Battle can get pretty heated at the pro level, take this in case you need to beat the heat.

Hands Mike a bottle of water.

Mike: Thanks.

Clyde: The gyms are designed to test the trainers and assure that they are ready to move on to the next stage of the league. Collect all the badges and you'll be considered

Pro enough to face the Elite Four, some of the best trainers our region has to offer. Beat them and You'll face the Champion, the ultimate trial, for a chance to go down in history as one of the best trainers ever to tread upon Unovan soil.

Mike: Sounds good. I plan to go all the way to the top. I owe it to a friend of mine.

Cheren: Oh, You must be a challenger!

Mike: I am.

Cheren: Welcome to Aspertia City Gym. I'm Cheren the newest Gym leader. You will be my first challenger. I wish you luck.

Mike: Same to you, but I warn you. There's no force on earth that can withstand my determination.

Cheren *Smirk*: I like your style. Well then Let's go!

*****==Mike vs Cheren==*****
Round 1: Violet vs Patrat

Violet attempts a sand attack but Patrat's Keen-Eyes make it ineffective. Patrat uses tackle to take out a wopping 50% of Violet's HP Mike uses a potion hoping to buy some time. Thus follow a few rounds of Patrat using Workup and Violet using growl to counteract the attack increase. The time finally comes for the two to exchange blows and Violet comes out the worse for wear.

Mike: Violet! It's too dangerous you have to get back. Let Art handle this.

But at the end of a few rounds it's looking bad for Mike's party. Both Violet and Art are in critical condition. While Mike has yet to make it through a single one of Cheren's pokemon. It's then that Mike looks down at his bag and notices the bottle of water.

~Memory Clyde~: Battle can get pretty heated at the pro level, take this in case you need to beat the heat.

Mike snatches the water from his bag and tosses it to Art.

Mike: BEAT THE HEAT, ART!

Art tries to catch the bottle but is too late. Violet is too weak to put up a fight any further and is quickly defeated by the Patrat.

Cheren: Such a shame I thought you would be the first opponent to defeat me but it seems you've let your pokemon down. You were undeserving of their loyalty...

NuraMike Nuzlocked Pokemon Black Two: The Flocessy Arc Script

Episode 1: Pokementor

Play the game straight in the beginning except that Bianca

brings one pokemon my starter.

Bianca: Thanks so much for aiding Professor Juniper in her

research. To aid you on your journey we have chosen this

pokemon to be your partner. This is Art the Oshawott. You

two are a perfect match!? Good luck on your journey.

Art: Osha!!! xD

Hugo Begs Bianca for a Pokedex and then proceeds to see if

I've got the courage to be a pokemon trainer even if it

means the risk of losing a friend.

Having won Hugo states that it seems I am a trainer he can

count on after all. Encourages me to get stronger before

running off.

Mike: So, Hugo, any last advice for me.

Hugo: *looks off into the sky* A wise man once told me.

'Remember the rules: Never give up, Never Forget, and Grind

like Hell'.

Mike: Grind like hell? What the **** does that mean?



Episode 2: Premier ball

Bianca explains the pokemon center and gives me the

pokeballs then I decide that I'm going to be catching lots

of pokemon so I should get some extras just in case and I

see the premier ball. When I ask how much it is the clerk

explains that it's a promotional item only and I have to

buy ten pokeballs to get one... Which I promptly do.

As I'm about to leave with Bianca to learn how to catch

pokemon my mom comes running to remind me that I forgot to

put on my tennis shoes revealing that I'm still wearing my

Buneary house slippers.

Bianca laughs at them to which I say, "Hey they're official

Pokemerch! Besides... *mumble mumble mumble*"

Ha Ha repeated in background

Bianca: Oh Arceus I never thought I'd hear a /guy/ call a

pokemon /cute/? That's just adorable.

Panel of me looking down and blushing as I see the premier

and whisper to myself 'someday'.



Episode 3: Violet's are Blue.

After learning how to catch pokemon from Bianca Art and I

face our first steps on the journey.

Mike: You ready to go Art?

Art: Just waiting for you, partner.

We took our first steps together and I got this odd sense

of deja vu. As though somewhere, somehow, I'd done all this

before.

It was not long before I encountered my first pokemon,

afraid that either I would lose Art or my chances of

catching a pokemon on Route 19 I stepped forward to find.

You see Mike with a shocked expression.
Purloin: *pathetic mew off panel*

Violet is revealed.
Mike: Aw, whats wrong?

Purloin: *teary-eyed mew*

Mike sits down and picks up the Purloin kitten.
Mike: What are you doing all alone, little purloin? Where's

your family.


Purloin looks away tears at the corners of it's eyes.

Mike: So they're gone or your lost. Got nowhere to go eh?

Purloin: *mew*

Shows Mike's hand holding out a pokeball you can see

Purloin's distorted reflection in it's surface.
Mike: Art and I may not be Purloin but do you want to come

with us?

Purloin: *Mew* (really?)

Purloin looks off to one side where Art is standing waving

and nodding encouragingly.

We close with a panel of Purloin's paw pressing the button

on the pokeball witht he caption: [Violet Joins the Party]

?????: TRAINER!!!

Jumps down in epic silhouette action fantasy hero style.

Mike: Oh my god I'm sorry I'm trespassing please don't hurt

us!

Alder looks confused: What? NO! I just like to greet and

inspire new trainers.
Violet and Art have run up to stand in front of me by now.

Alder (Off Panel): Your pokemon, they seem to trust you

already, but I have the feeling you're not quite

comfortable with being a trainer yet.

Alder is marching into Flocessy town: Come to my place I

think I can give you a hand.

Same as before but alder has looked over his shoulder with

a <?): By the way, why do you have two town maps?

Mike: I need to take one to a friend of mine.

Alder: let me guess, about your age? Crazy blue hair?

Mike: yeah

Alder: He went to the ranch, guess you should take care of tha first. I'll be waiting.



Episode 4: CSI: Flocessy

Man I'm glad I had some potions what was with those kids challenging us like that?

Violet: Meh, how should I know.

Mike: 0.0

Violet: What?

Mike: You spoke.

Violet: Yeah, I'm feeling alot better now that I'm not all alone.

Hugo: Hey, Mike! Good you've come here to toughen up! Let's see how much stronger you've become. COME AT ME BRO!

Mike: W-Wha!

*****==Mike vs Hugo==*****

Hugo: Go Snivy. Execute plan "divide and conquer"
Snivy: You got it. !Leer!

Mike: Violet cut his attack!
Violet: Right. !Growl!

Snivy Tackles Violet who then gets up staggeringly.

Mike: Violet, that's enough it's too risky. Art you're up.

Art and Snivy trade a few rounds of tackles before Art trips him with his tail (whip) and throws out the final tackle.

*****==Battle End==*****

Hugo: Not bad. You're thinking about how to bring out your pokemon's strength. I should be able to count on you. What are you doing here anyway.

Mike: *chucks Town map at Hugo's head* You forgot your map.

Hugo: Oh. Thanks for heading all the way out here to bring it to me...

Farmer Jeb (off Panel): I thought it was lively around here.

Hugo: Who are you?

Farmer Jeb: Name's Jeb, I own the ranch this is my lovely wife Vidalia.

Vidalia: Ya'll just sit still I'll have ya'll pokemon patched up in a jiffy.

Farmer Jeb: Ya'll haven't seen a Herdier 'round these parts have ya? I just can't figure out where in tarnation our poor gizmo got off to.

Hugo: YOUR POKEMON IS LOST!!?? MIKE! YOU. ME. RESCUE MISSION. NOW! *runs off into the ranch*

Mike: Looks like it's time for some CSI: Flocessy Ranch.

Mike, Art, and Violet all put on sunglasses.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH~




Episode 5: Shades McPatrat

Mike wandering in the woods behind Flocessy Ranch.
Mike: Gizmo! Giiiiiiizmoooooo!

Grass: *rustle rustle*

Mike: Gizmo?

A black shadowy figure leaps from the bushes.

Violet: Mike, Look out!

Shades Mcpatrat: Alright you're infringin on my turf. Time to law down the law, Shades style. *Dances Gangnam Style*

Violet: Art, I could use an assist. !Violet uses Assist: Tail Whip!

Shades: Whoa what was that for, doll?

Violet: I'm not anyone's /doll/. !Violet used Scratch!

!Shades used Tackle!

Mike: Violet, it's tagout time.

Art: *Puts on sunglasses* I got this.

!Art used Tackle!

Shades: Yeowch man, what's your deal.

Art *smirks*

Mike: Our deal is that you're the first pokemon we've met on the ranch.

Shades looks up as a pokeball is reflected in his sunglasses.

(Capture successful)

Violet: Welcome to the team, Shades.

Shades: Gee, thanks a bunch, Doll.

Violet menaces Shades with her claws.

Violet: Do NOT call me doll again.

Shades: Whatever you say just get the pointy things out of my face.

Art: I think he'll fit in just fine.

Mike: So do I, Art, so do I.

Mike spots a guy over to one side and walks up to him.

Mike: Excuse me sir have you seen a Herdier from the ranch around here.

Orville: Oh I haven't seen you before! Mind sparring with me.

Mike: n-no that's okay I'm just looking for a her-

Orville: Lillipup go!

Mike: *sigh* Go Shades

Shades: Watchoo lookin at, mutt? !Leer!

!Lillipup tackles shades and starts sniffing him (Odor Sleuth)!

Shades: Why you little mook!? !Kicks lillipup off him and then tackles him.

Orville: Not bad, grasshopper, but let's see how you like my.... Mareep.

Mareep: Baaaaa....

Shades: !Bite! dayshy I shay.

Mareep: Baaaaaaaa!!! !growl!

Orville: NO! Mareep!

Mareep: Baaaaa. !Discharges electricity: Thunder Wave!

!Shades is paralyzed!

Mike: Careful, Shades.

Shades: This overgrown cotton ball's got nuthin on me.

!Mareep used tackle, Shades is paralyzed and can't move!

Mike: SHADES!

Orville: Go, Mareep! Tear his liver out!!!

Mareep *Evil Grin then stomps through Shades's chest.

Mike: SHAAAAAAAAAAAADES!!!

Shades: *Cough* Doll, sorry looks like you're not the only one who stomped on my heart...

Violet *teary eyed*: I'm not a doll...

Shades: *eyes glazed over*

Violet with flames of imense rage behind her: But you /will/ be avenged! !Violet then proceeds to go absolutely apeshit on the Mareep until all that is left are quivering fluffy cubes of jelly.!

Orville: Mareep! You killed my Mareep how could you!?

Mike grabs Orville by the collar Shadows covering his face and all worry or happiness replaced by cold judgement.

Mike: So, that's how it is. You're perfectly willing to battle other people's pokemon to the death to satisfy your own twisted desires, but when the tables are turned you call your opponent a monster!? We just met, Shades, but he was our friend. I saw no mercy in your or your pokemon's eyes when his chest caved in! So you want some one to blame for what happened look no further than yourself!

Mike drops Orville.

Mike: I know I'll be shouldering the blame for Shades, *Picks up Shades's sunglass and tucks them into his scarf*

As he walks away from Orville he says "Never Forget"



Episode 6: Calm before the Storm

Mike and Hugo are wandering through the woods.

Hugo: So you've lost a pokemon huh? You okay man?

Mike: Yeah, I could have switched him out but he seemed confident he'd win. I knew he was paralyzed but I thought he'd make it.

Hugo hands Mike a paralyze heal.

Hugo: Just remember the rules: Never Forget. This may come in handy if you're ever in that situation again.

Mike: Thanks... I-

YAWRP!

Hugo: You think that's Gizmo?

Mike: Only one way to find out!

Hugo: Cool I'll go get Jeb you find the Pokemon!

Mike runs deeper into the thicket and encounter the Team Plasma Grunt

Plasma Grunt: Tchhh stupid kids. I'm a member of the group who strikes fear into the hearts of those who stand before it: Team Plasma!!!

Mike:... never heard of you.

Team Plasma: What!? We tried to conquer UNOVA two years ago.

Mike: I was thirteen and I live in the back-end of nowhere. I just got a pokemon yesterday and you expect me to know about you because?

Team Plasma: Ah-bu-I-wha-you-da-GRRRRRRRRRRRRR EAT THIS TM DIRTBAG!!!

Mike is clocked in the head by the tm and passes out cold. When he wakes up Hugo and Jeb are there.

Jeb: You okay there, kid? Thanks a bunch fer findin Gizmo fer me.

Hugo: Just be sure to be more careful from now on.

Hugo walks off.

Jeb: He sure seems gung-ho about protectin Pokemon. Wunder what his story is. Well guess I'll just have to keep wunderin. Good luck to ya.

And with that Mike returns to Flocessy town from the ranch, but not before stopping by a little corner in the forest where a crude burial marker stands with a little message scrawled on it reading: Rest in Peace - Shades Style.

Mike Enters Flocessy town to be greeted by Alder.

Alder: Ah you're back. Hrmmmm... That look in your eyes. I see you've already lost a pokemon. Unfortunate. You now know what it takes to be a trainer. I don't think there's anything left for me to teach you, except maybe to remind you that at the end of the day it's not all pain loss.

Alder enter's his house, Mike following reluctantly behind.

Girl: OOH are we going to help train that trainer,sir?

Boy: But he looks really tough already.

Alder: Heh heh You're right he is pretty tough but you can still learn from him, besides, haven't I been telling you just to enjoy Pokemon battles? Mike, would you please battle with them? I think it'll do you good.


Boy: I'll show you what's cool about my pokemon! GO PANSEAR!

Pansear: Monkey see! Monkey win!

Mike: Violet let's give it a go. Remember it's just for fun so go easy on him.

Violet: If you say so...

Violet and Pansear wrestle for a little while before Violet finally begins to lose her gloomy demeanor and we see a small cutaway of Mike smiling as well. Eventually the girl cuts in.

Girl: My turn My turn. Come on out Pansage.

Pansage: Catpile!

Violet: Oh you want some too? Alright c'mere you, scamp.

Mike, Violet, and Art spent the rest of the evening playing with the tots. Alder looked on happily, satisfied that he had helped this young trainer through a tough time in his life.

*Meanwhile*

Cheren disembarks from his Unfezant in Aspertia city.

Cheren: Well, here is where it all begins, Unfezant, I'm going to be a gym leader.

Unfezant: You worked hawrd to get here.

Cheren: I sure did. I wonder who my first challenger will be?

How I'd make "Lucario and the Mystery of Mew" Better.

Instead of having Aaron be the noble hero all along I would have had him stop the war by seizing the power of the Tree of beginning and using it, and Mew, to force a peace to protect his home. However, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. With Lucario, his last tie to the righteous path, imprisoned in his former staff of office; Aaron slowly descended into a madness that drove him to seize control of the kingdom under a sort of martial law, using the power of his corrupted Aura to 'protect' his people. History would wash away the man's sins as the rightful ruling family would regain control eventually and he would be misremembered as a hero.

The villains: Kidd and Banks. Make them descendents of the Corrupted Aura Guardians. Able to use the corrupted aura and intending to sieze the power of the Tree of beginning just as their ancestor did, but this time with the intention of ruling the world. However, with the presence of Ash, an uncorrupted Aura user, Lucario is reawakened into the world. The movie can play out practically the same from there but with the motivations of Mew changed to lead Ash to the tree where he and Lucario could set things right by defeating the Corrupted Aura Guardians. Kidd tags along keeping up the guise of a well-meaning adventurer only to attempt to sieze control of the tree once they reach the heart. (This essentially makes use of the setup of Kidd being an implied villain early on.)

Ash and Lucario learn the truth of Aaron's betrayal but he's still trapped in the tree like in the original version. They learn that the reason the Corrupted Aura Guardians don't already control the tree is that, in the end, Aaron realized his mistakes and returned the tree's power to it's rightful place with Mew.

Now Mew, with the help of Lucario and Ash, battles with Kidd the corrupt Aura user and they are able to defeat her and cleanse the aura. This cleansing comes with a cost, however, as the same ending plays out with Lucario giving up his aura to set things right and atone for his master's sins, admitting that even though Aaron betrayed his kingdom, his intentions had been noble and he had always been Lucario's friend regardless of his actions.

Another Rant xD

My blog is seeing some use out of this at least. I feel the need, yet again, to vent some frustration at my bafflement over human nature.

I was reading the comments on one of the Spoony One's videos. and I came across this...

((Here's a thought, maybe his colleagues stopped speaking to him because he acted like a disgusting and arrogant moron? Maybe Spoony was in the wrong and everyone who stopped talking to him was in the right, ever think of that? Probably not because fanboyism>moral decency.))

Here's the thing. If spoony allowed guest comments, or if the user who commented hadn't had an avatar along with his post, I would have glossed over this as I do so many other troll comments, but as it is...

WHY IN THE NAME OF HEAVENLY FUCK!? Would you maintain an account on the sight of an entertainer you clearly despise? For no other reason than to post belittling, libelous, and antagonistic comments apparently. I looked at the guy's profile out of curiosity and it showed his recent comments. Most of them were along the lines of "Spoony and his fans are a bunch of antisocial ass-clowns and should be shot on sight." WHY!? Just WHY!? What is the point in doing shit like that? I guess I'm no better with this blog post but seriously. This guy is ACTIVELY MAINTAINING AN ACCOUNT on a site he proposes to hate for the sole purpose of harassing Spoony's actual fans.

The moral of this story for all of you out there. If you don't like some one's content.... GTFO!

It's not that hard to click the [x] button on the tab, delete the site from your bookmarks and never speak of it again. If a Spoony fanboy, or any fanboy you have issue with, comes into YOUR home turf then fine, that's your area and he's the one trolling then. But so long as you are commenting on SPOONY'S VIDEOS then the fans of Spoony have the right to tear you a new asshole. Stop trolling our entertainment because more than likely we're not trolling yours.

On TCG

I'm dusting off this thing to get something off my chest! I play a lot of games. Some of them are tcg "Trading card games" I end up playing online alot. so I inevitably come across this problem. Where a guy wants to rocket through the game.

WHY IN THE NAME OF HEAVENLY FUCK WOULD YOU WANT TO FLY THROUGH A TWENTY MINUTE CARD GAME IN THE SPACE OF FIVE MINUTES OR LESS!?

This is a problem in the real world too. Where people build decks to win in one or two turns... sure if you're playing in a tourney with no audience that might be a good idea but if you're like me and you play for fun you want your matches to last and mean something. You spent time building your deck, your strategy, to play against friendly people and have fun. Why on earth would anyone want to zip through a game at the speed of light. You might as well not bother with wasting your time on it.

I like long protracted battles where the winner is decided by an overarching strategy or even just dumb luck in the end, not BAMBAMBAM I win.

Reason I'm posting this is that I was playing on a BYOND app for Cardfight Vanguard. It was my turn and instead of playing it out my opponent said "Eh fuck it" and just took damage then proceeded with his next turn. I may have dealt MORE damage than he had taken because of one of the game mechanics (I'll not go into detail for the benefit of the Vanguard laymen out there).

The problem with speed decking is most apparent in Yugioh because unlike Vanguard it is designed to be capable of ending in a single turn. While, yeah, that turn may take five to ten minutes because of all the effects in the end you're left with one guy who just spent about as much time rifling through his cards as he did when he built the deck and one who didn't get to play at all. This problem happens in real life, not just online. Go down to a game or comic shop and watch the card gamers if you don't believe me.

Can you imagine if movies were like that? Five minutes and it's over. People would be pissed.

Also call me naive or whatever but with games like Yu-Gi-Oh and Vanguard I like to get dramatic, play up the vibe from their shows. I'll announce that the card I'm playing is my avatar and that it'll kick your ass in as flowery dialogue as I can. Why? BECAUSE IT'S FUCKIN FUN!

So to the card gamers of the world I beg you... SIT DOWN AND ENJOY THE GOD-DAMNED GAME!

P.S. : Some friendly advice to the makers of Yu-Gi-Oh. I have four words: Limit. Cards. Per. Turn.
