Regardless of the consequences, Rueben decides that it's time to go on his own in this exciting retell of a Leafgreen Nuzlocke.

1. Prologue

-= Rueben, Last Light, 1016 =-

I am alone. Alone in a world filled with other humans and creatures. Pokémon. This world of ours is a cruel one. That is a lesson I learned the hard way.

I am alone. Trapped in a cage only the gods and demons know where. Well, one demon in particular. The same demon who took my pokémon, after beating them senseless. Leaving me alone in here while he ran off with my broken and battered team. Ran off with my friends.

I am alone. Surrounded by metal and dark and emptiness. I don't remember when I last saw a human. The only sounds are the sounds of my own breath. My stomach stopped rumbling long ago. Gods I'm hungry. I haven't eaten since he threw me in here. I don't even know if these words that I'm writing are legible. I can't see a thing. No food, no water, no light.

No hope.

I, am alone.
