After the battle I figured there was not much more to do in this town, so I moved on to the next one. [Battle log: There were 3 trainers on my way to the next town. I earned a lot of cash and battled a few pokemon. I was going to catch the patrat that ran into, but Winchester signaled me to put my ball away. I feel he has a standard for who his team mates will be.] I was on my way into town when I hear the trees to my left shaking. I figured it could be a new pokemon so I went to go check it out. This was, once again, not one of my best moves. Madam Lalonde pounced out of the tree and pinned me to the ground. She tried to use me for warmth again but I was not about to lie on the ground for another couple of hours. Predictably she challenged me to a battle on the terms that if I lost I would have to be her “Cuddle slut”. I was tempted to refuse and get to the pokecenter as it seemed Winchester had been poisoned in the last battle, but she made it clear I had to beat her if I wanted to pass. The little guy was not about to admit weakness though, he simply nodded at me that he could make it and stepped forward. I was worried, but he proved in 2 attacks that, once again, I should not have worried. After he was done defeating Jasper and princess he even knew to give mercy. He made his way over and indicated with his arms he wanted me to kneel down to his level. He dragged himself over to me and raised his arm above my head… and gave me the biggest noogie I ever received in my life. He cracked this heart warming grin before being engulfed in bright light. When I finally gained my sight back he had transformed to be even more blue, taller, and much more bad ass; yet he still had that grin.
We set out of town post haste as we were all eager to see what we had in store for us. But right before the border Strider stopped me and told me he and Lalonde were going to be my rivals. I was disappointed, but I understood their need to spread their wings. …Also I kind of prefer to be alone for this, I feel more adventurous this way! I am like the Indiana Jones of the pokemon world! But in any case, they told me the next time they saw me that we would have to battle. (They indicated heavily that they planned to win, but I assured them they were wrong.) After they left I took my time to collect myself to decide on my personal rules. I have decided on 2 more that I think will make the adventure a little more interesting. Rule 4. I cannot capture legendary pokemon. I can only battle them to the death or until they attempt to escape. (This rule may only be broken if capture is absolutely necessary. Even in this case I will release it the moment I reach a pokecenter) and Rule 5. I must name every pokemon I capture. I want to have a bond with every pokemon that I catch! After this I set off into the grassy fields towards Accumula town! [Battle log: I was accosted by hordes of mysterious fauna on my way to town, but did not catch my first pokemon encountered. Still just my buddy Winchester and I! Speaking of which he seems to have gotten quite strong already by time we arrive in town. Is 60ish pokemon an abnormal amount of encounters this early on?] Once in town I hurried to the pokecenter as I can’t imagine all this fighting would have left him unscathed. While he rested, I decided to buy some supplies. I figure 12 pokeballs (Plus a free premier ball) and 5 potions is a good use of money. Outside I hear a old man preaching something, so out of curiosity I grabbed Winchester and joined the group of people outside. There was a gang of people in knight outfits lined up behind the man while he was making his speech. He went on about how catching pokemon was wrong and we should release them and blah, blah, blah. I looked down to my little buddy to see his thoughts. It seems he predicted this though as he had his fist… appendage at the ready for a fist bump. I am impressed at his comprehension of human speech. I was never told anything about them understanding much more than the names of their attacks, but I really feel like he was almost disgusted by the things this guy was saying. After he was done he was escorted out of town like some kind of king or something. Eventually the crowd dispersed, but there was still one guy just standing there staring at the spot the old man had been standing. Before I got the chance to ask his name he turned around and told me he could hear what winchester was “saying” and that he was very interested in seeing his resolve in battle. He seemed to be talking down to me so I figured teaching him a lesson couldn’t hurt! I was pretty shocked to see exactly how good a lesson it was though, the little guy did not take a single hit. The boy simply said he was surprised at our bond, told me his name was “N” and then left.
Winchester is ripping and raring to go! We all decided shortly after that it was about time we made it over to the lab to see the professor. Luckily for us the town is very small, barely 3 houses, but I digress. The professor seemed glad that my friends and I had chosen our pokemon already and gotten to know them. She was however shocked for some reason we had already nicknamed them, I can’t imagine why though. After we finished going over some little things she got serious and told us there were some rules we had to all be informed of. (I will quote her so I don’t forget later.) “The pokemon population has been dropping as of late, not to a dangerous level of course; but dropping none the less. Therefore, 1. You may only catch the first pokemon you encounter per area. If you miss your chance it is too bad. 2. Remember pokemon will attack you without warning. When this happens you MUST defend yourself, and remember that if you fail to that your pokemon will die. There are no second chances here, if they run out of HP they cannot be brought back. A good trainer always forfeits the match before their pokemon are killed. Remember that. 3. If you do run out of pokemon you will be removed from the gym challenge. You will not be given another pokemon so make damn sure you keep yours healthy. Feel free to add your own stipulations after that, but you may not break those 3 rules!” We were all shocked by how serious she had gotten, but we all agreed to them with no delay. Afterwards she gave each of us Pokemon indexing machines, Pokedex for short, and 5 pokeballs. I will post what happened next in a few minutes as I don’t want to make this entry too long.
We came to the agreement that I should have first pick of the “Pokemon”. So I cracked open the box and took a peek inside. There were 3 painful cute Pokemon; a water, fire, and grass. I was highly tempted to take the grass snake, it had so much potential to make Indiana Jones jokes with. But the water otter caught my eye. Its chalk white head, black eyes like sockets, hard bone like pieces extruding from his body, and he was cerulean! He is surely my companion. Strider WAS going to be next, but madam Lalonde shoved him aside and grabbed the fire pig. Strider was left with the snake, and seemed pleased with how it all turned out. We all took a few minutes to fawn over our new buddies and give them nicknames ( He seemed to like the name Winchester!) before Lalonde challenged me to a battle proclaiming that if I lost I had to “be her bitch” for a undisclosed amount of time. I of course accepted this challenge and we battled post haste! I would love to say it was riveting, but really it was just some scratching and tackling until princess lost consciousness. Afterwards we used some of the medicine in the box to heal our Pokemon. (Damn those guys healed fast. Medicine in this country must have a lot of funding!) Strider challenged me to yet another battle, which was a lot more difficult. He would have won, but he took a little pity and held off for one turn. That ended up costing him and lil green the match! Next post after I am done healing Winchester.
She has finally woken up, but she refuses to remove her face from my side. Apparently I smell nice? I took this chance to talk to Mr. Strider. He informs me that he and Lalonde had been planning behind my back to join me all along. I guess a little rivalry couldn’t hurt? Once I finally convinced Lalonde to remove herself from me we set our attention on the box.
This morning I was arisen from my slumber by an odd giggling coming from the room bellow me. I assumed it was nothing, so I turned over and tried to go back to sleep. This turned out to be a frightfully bad decision as I ended up eye to eye with Strider who had managed to not only sneak into my bed, but was also brushing his teeth. To say I was shocked would be the understatement of the millenia, but we were not done yet! The sound of my ass falling out of the bed echoed through the house, and before I could ask what the devil fucking dickens Strider was doing in my bed I was interrupted by the sound of what seemed to be a three legged dog stumbling up the stairs. “Jakes awaaaaaaaaaaake?! <3” The door nearly separated from the hinges as the very drunk madam Lalonde burst through and collapsed on me. I will make another post when she wakes up, my arm is starting to falling asleep.
I arrived in Nuvema town tonight! Tommorow my adventure begins bright and early at dawn. I was planning to just set up a tent outside of the lab and star gaze, but the professor said she wouldn’t have it and set me up in the attic of a house nearby. She left a box with 3 of the mysterious fauna inside, but made me promise not to open it until morning. When I asked her why, she simply hinted that she had a surprise for me. I am tempted, but I am a gentlemen of my word. More in the morning.
(This is just for fun, I really cannot roleplay jake for the life of me and will likely not even try. I am just making a little story around what happens in my nuzlocke challenge in Pokemon blaze black. It will be stupid, it will be written poorly, and it will be boring as fuck. You have been warned! If someone down the line wanted to do a comic version of this though feel free to ask and you can change what ever dialogue you wish to fix the character.)
This blog is (going to be) a place where i document my hunt into the strange land of Unova. Along the way i will collect allies to help me in the hunt and together we shall take part in a rowdy contest to see who can encapsulate the most frightening fauna and become champion! I hope to get on with my journey quite soon, and will make another post when i have embarked on my journey. Until then i bid you farewell!
