Ruin's Terrible Nuzlocke Thread (Join in yourself!)

[Ruin]

So I recently started a nuzlocke run of Pokemon X
since I'm a dumb asshole, I decided to share my adventures with you, the beautiful gaming section of the skullgirls forums.

So lemme just get stuff out of the way. This won't be a screenshot or art comic nuzlocke. Just more of a text based adventure from my silly little brain. I'm following a light set of rules. No major healing restrictions, just the standard rules + mandatory nicknames + Notepad Addendum (My team can only be changed when a pokemon has died. Pokemon can still be caught once my team is full, but not used)

My character is Dianna, named for Dianna Soriel of Turn A Gundam, with the nickname of Moon Queen (because she's Queen of the Moon). My starter is a Froakie that I have blessed with the incredibly inoffensive name of Hors Doeuvre.

My journey was started like many: with a bird flying into my room and viciously pecking at my face. I managed to repel the beast using my skillful Lunar Martial Arts (I threw a pillow at it). Upon dressing myself in my queenly garb, I learned of some rabbling peasants in the courtyard. Before I could loose the wasps upon them, I learned that they came bearing news from the lead scholar of the land. And with my learning of the task that this professor appears to see fit with tasking me, Dianna Soriel, Queen of the Fuckmothering Moon, with, I promptly loosed the wasps on the rabble, and they were chased to a nearby town. I gave chase, as to laugh at their suffering, but found that they had rebuked the wasps with some witchcraft or another. They will be given a biased trial for their crimes, but later.

The lowly serfs acted disgustingly casual towards me, Dianna Soriel, Queen of the Fuckmothering Moon, but I played along in their games. I couldn't be bothered with actually remember their names. I think one was named...Agrippa? Either way, by the professor's request, I received a...small, blue, disgusting, frog creature. I have heard that these beasts can be prepared by top quality chefs into a tantalizing appetizer fit only to starting meals worthy of gods. Naturally, I named the beast Hors Doeuvre. He seemed indifferent to his eventual fate. Poor creature.

One of the peasants made an attempt upon my life with her own beast. With no pillows in close proximity, I found myself with no possible defenses. The wretched beast leaped in my direction with the most murderous of intents, but was suddenly stopped by a blast of... bubbles. The bubbles came from none other than Hors Doeuvre. Odd how it seemed intent on protecting me. Perhaps it is unaware of the delicious demise that awaits it. Being a noble and modest Queen of the Fuckmothering Moon, I gave the bea-er... Hors Doeuvre a pat on the head in my gratitude. I feel this adventure will test my abilities as a Queen and a leader, so I must return to the palace to steel myself. Hors Doeuvre followed close behind, vigilantly watching the surroundings for any other hostiles and potential snacks.

PART DEUX (I say deux because is france, get it?)

Many progresses were made in my journey to conquer this feeble land in the name of the moon. Upon returning to the palace to restock my armaments, Hors Doeuvre and I strapped our boots (I still wonder where he got those boots) and went off on our merry, marauding way. I have heard that the wild beasts of this land can be tamed upon forcing them into a capsule device, so I purchased several of these devices. Being a Queen who prefers a highly specialized squad of personal soldiers to a grand army of cannon fodder, I decided that I would only capture one beast per location.

My first capture was a stalwart little bird, who fought bravely against Hors Doeuvre. I gave this noble avian the name of Sir Ephraim (of Avance). The device that I received from the rabble earlier (went unmentioned because I found it ugly), called Sir Ephraim's species a "Pidgey". One must wonder of the creative thinking abilities of the man that gave the species such a name.

Sir Ephraim, while noble, was inexperienced and lacking in physical parameters. We spent some time honing his abilities before moving along to a wooded area that we were required to traverse. To think that I, Dianna Soriel, Queen of the Moon, would be forced to brave a beast-filled forest all for some professor. The first beast I encountered in the wood was some form of...fire primate. It had some kind of radiating cheerfulness, so I gave the new recruit the name, Feliciano. The device cited the name of Feliciano's species as "Pansear". How witty. One of the rabble offered her services to heal my soldiers as they became injured. Naturally, I abused her kindness and strengthened my forces even further.

Upon exiting the forest, I made my next capture. A small robin. I named her Vermillia. her species is named "Fletching". Not much else to say.

We arrived in a new town. I went to the center and recuperated the troops, in addition to stocking up on more medicine. I heard that there was an establishment known as a "Gym". Apparently, it is a place where those who wish to test their skills as a leader. However, the name "Gym" sent a shiver up my spine, so I abstained for the moment and traveled east. I encountered my next capture. And what a capture it was. This wild duck slayed Vermillia (poor thing. died before she could live) and nearly routed the rest of my band as well. Luckily, I was able to subdue the beast and capture her before any more damage could be done. I named this new recruit "DeMorta" for her unnerving ability to murder. She would no doubt be a boon to my conquering force.

I returned to the city and was faced by a peasant who saw it fit to give me, Queen Dianna Fuckmothering Soriel of the Moon, a pair of plebeian roller skates. I entered the Gym, and exited soon after victorious. DeMorta lived up to her name and soundly slaughtered all the forces that would oppose me.

I began my travel north and have encountered my next capture. Unfortunately, this marks my first failed capture of my journey. This creature, resembling a flying honeycomb, was simply to frail to handle a simple incineration at the hands of Feliciano. Clearly, it was not worth my time. A pity, as I have heard the female of said species are quite more powerful, as females are wont to be.

And I find myself ambushed by more rabble, claiming to be assistants of this professor I have heard ever so much about. They would not let me pass until I obliged their insanity, so I did just so and entered into a sprawling hellscape of a city. Who knows what horrors await me here.

OOC timez: So feel free to comment on stuff. On the topic of stuff like the EXP share and super training. I'm not using the share, and I'm super training and pokemon-amie-ing at a progressive, gradual pace. It retains a level of challenge and provides a story-like level of development for both Queen Dianna and her minions.
