A/N: OK! Here I am. I got this idea from Dragonaura1010, who did a MAGNIFICENT Nuzlocke Challenge for SS. I, on the other hand, don't want to start over on SS, even though I just beat the Elite Four, so I'm trying for it on my Sapphire. As for rules, I'll follow these-
1. If a Pokemon faints, it's dead (I put it in a box called R.I.P.).
2. Only the first Pokemon in each area (excluding towns) may be caught. Even if they're duplicates.
3. Any Pokemon NOT met in a normal wild encounter may NOT be used (Eevee, Snorlax, Sudowoodo, etc.).
4. No outside help (Pokewalkers, Trading, etc.).
5. No Daycare
6. Only use normal Pokeballs to catch anything.

These were taken straight from the aforementioned Nuzlocke, but some minor variations are required, such as-

2. If they are duplicates of alivingPokémon, then you may catch the next Pokémon. So, no LIVING duplicates are allowed.
6. Normal Pokeballs are the only ones used, EXCEPT for in the Safari Zone, but only 15 balls are allowed.
7. ALL Pokemon MUST be nicknamed. No exceptions.
8. No item may be held twice, so if I had a Treeko and a Gloom they both can't hold a Miracle Seed.
9. Only one TM per Pokemon may be used. A Pokemon may have as many HMs as needed.

Rumble, rumble…BUMP! Rumble…TSSSH!

Whose idea was it to have their son ride in the back of the moving truck, again? There was plenty of room in the car, but no, no one was supposed to know about it…oh, wait…

Stretching my arms, I yawned as the shutters pulled up. I could hear my mother call, "Welcome home, sweety!" Rising up from my cramped position on top of some boxes, I hopped to the ground and stepped out of the dark truck. Placing my hands behind my head, I surveyed my new home. It was smaller, and lacked the body of water that my previous home in New Bark Town had. It was surrounded by trees, with a toddler guarding the small opening leading to Route 101.

Surprisingly, it looked like only two families lived here, judging by the lab and only two houses. However, many more people milled around, spouting useless information intended for people new to adventuring.

Hearing the truck behind me roar and drive away, I decided it was time to head inside. Looking around, Mom motioned for me to head upstairs and set the clock. Storming up the stairs, I grabbed the thing off the wall and turned the hands to around noonish. When I finished, the blue clock shook and beeped. "Error," It said. "The internal battery has run dry. Clock-based events will no longer occur. However, the game may still be played.

"**** it," I murmured. How was I supposed to go on an adventure when day and night had no meaning?

Just then, Mom burst into the room. "SIMBA! SIMBA! SIMBA, COME QUICKLY!" She yelled, bolting downstairs. Face palming, I descended the stairs, taking them two at a time.

"Simba, your father's on, look!" She said, thrusting me in front of the flashing box as soon as I stepped foot downstairs.

"And that was our report, live, from in front of the Petalburg Gym!"

"Aww…you missed it. Ah, well. I heard Professor Birch lives next door, and he has a really nice daughter. Why don't you go see her?" Nodding at the random request, I walked outside and to the only other house, enjoying the fresh air along the way. Opening the door, I stepped in, glancing at Mrs. Birch to my right, who didn't even notice me. Not bothering to say hi, I went upstairs and saw a girl, about the same age as me, reading a small book, mumbling a list of tasks under her breath. Looking up, she said, "Oh, hi Simba! I heard you just moved in next door. I think my father wanted to see you. He should be on Route 101. See you later!" Leaving the room, the trainer left me wondering why I hadn't been able to speak.

~O.o.O~

"Mister, I'm hearing loud noises, can you check it out please? I would, but I don't have any Pokémon of my own…" Stepping past the pint-sized guard, I had my first glimpse of Route 101. A few cliffs, tall grass, a guy getting chased by a dog, more grass…wait, what?" Dashing over, the man said, "Help! There should be a Pokeball in my bag, help!

Running over to the tan bag, I dug through it, pulling out three red and white capsules. One had a leaf emblem, another had a flame emblem, and the last had a rain emblem. Grabbing the one with the leaf, I assumed it would be like my previous adventure. Throwing it, I yelled, "GO! Chikorita!"

What happened surprised me. Instead of the green dinosaur I expected, a green lizard appeared, a twig in its mouth. "You…little…PUNK! I'm a Treeko! This is Hoenn, not that frinkin' Johto place!" It turned to the black dog nipping at the man.

Mildly surprised, I ordered it to pound the poor pooch attacking the man, whom I recognized as Professor Birch. Obeying me, It mercilessly attacked, not giving quarter until it failed to get up. Nodding, the green lizard grasped the Pokeball from my hand and returned itself.

"Thank you! Let's head back to my lab." Birch said.

~O.o.O~

Smiling, the professor handed me the Pokeball containing Treeko when we were inside the large lab. Smiling myself, I said, "I'm thinking…Rwint!" before clipping it to my belt.

"It seemed to like you…so I'm letting you keep him!" Birch said. "He's a little feisty, but I heard about what you did in Johto, so you should be fine. Now, you should go see y daughter, May. She should be studying Pokémon on Route 103. Good luck!" He called, as I was already taking my leave as soon as he said something about "May", me no longer being interested.

~O.o.O~

I slowly stepped across the border of Oldale town and Route 103. Stretching my toes, I marveled on the ingenious of inventing shoes you could actually run in. Dashing forward a few feet, I pulled the Pokeball from around my waist, a white glow signifying the arriving lizard.

My mother had given me the shoes as I walked by my house, instructing me to "move your feet quickly to run". Yeah…Heading inside to rest and save, I had continued on my merry way.

"What took you so long? I can't stay inside a 2 inch ball forever," Rwint grumbled, massaging his arms somewhat angrily.

"Relax, people don't take kindly to a little menace like you running around a tiny town like that." Thinking hmy reply was good enough, I ran through the swaying grass that was knee-deep, wondering why no one bothered to mow it. Battling some Wurmple and Ziggies, we approached a girl, dressed in the same manner as before.

"Oh, hey! I forgot to properly introduce myself! I'm May, and this is Torchick!" Tossing a Pokeball in the air, a small bundle of feathers popped out, orange in color.

"YEAH! Who can I fight this time?" it said immediately after being released.

"Can you just fight me already? Isn't that the point of a rival in the game?" Rwint said, sighing as he did so.

Blinking a few times, the Torchick nodded. "Let's go! HIYAAAAAA!"

As the chicken neared, Rwint leapt over it, Leering as he did so. The Torchick skidded to a helt, then ran back, attempting to Scratch him. Although it landed, Rwint followed up with a Pound, a small amount of extra damage done due to Torchick's lowered defense. Shaking its head, he steadfastly ran at Rwint, who started a game of leap, Leer, Pound. Eventually, Torchick started to stagger, and Rwint Pounded a last time, finishing him off. Brushing the dust off of his…hands? Paws?...he walked back over to me, nodding once.

"Um…I'll meet you two at the lab, 'kay?" May said, breaking the awkward silence. Jumping down a dangerously low cliff, of which the only danger was tripping, she walked until she hit a tree, merely sidestepping and going on.

Shrugging, I beckoned Rwint and we padded forward. Saving again, I followed her.
