Pokemon Y Nuzlocke challenge:
Rule 1: If a Pokemon faints in battle, its "Dead". I release it or store it in the Pokemon Storage System permanently.
Rule 2: First random Pokemon I come across in an area/route is the only one I can catch. If it faints before I can catch it, I'm out of luck for that route.
Rule 3: I cannot use legendaries. Yveltal must be stored as soon as I am able to put it in the storage system, since the game forces you to capture it and put it in your party.
Rule 4: Trading: Wonder trades are not allowed. If I have a Pokemon that requires trading to evolve then I immediately get back my original pokemon. NPC trades are OK.
Rule 5: Non-random pokemon given or encountered such as Lapras or Snorlax do not count against rule 2.
Rule 6: Battle style set.
Rule 7: No fleeing.
Rule 8: Experience Share off.

My name Cale. And As Pokemon adventures go, I always thought I was a little old to go on a Pokemon adventure, because 5 years ago, while other 10 year old's started their pokemon adventures, I'd always been content to sit on the sidelines watching my Mom race our Rhyhorn to victory, becoming the racing star that she is. And let's not forget Davie, our little Fletchinder to keep us company as well.
And so the stories I had been brought up on were my my mom's races. Pokemon battles and pokemon adventures seemed like a myth to me, where only the outcomes of battles were gloried in, or that having a pokemon was necessary for traveling as you did not know what you might encounter. Little did I know how I wrong I was.
And so my journey began quite unexpectedly, in the same way that Davie tackles me awake each morning, and if you do not believe it, I have the bruises to show it. I only had to open the door and see a gorgeous girl just about to knock.
"Umm… hello", I sort of stuttered, surely making a great first impression.
"Hi! I'm Serena, and this is Shauna! We're neighbors!", gesturing to the younger girl beside her that I was, embarrassingly enough, just noticing.
"Hello, how do you do?", I awkwardly asked.
"I'm absolutely great!", squealed Shauna, "We've come to get you!"
My first thought turned to hazing rituals for new kids in town, but the gorgeous Serena quickly responded, "It's a request on behalf on Professor Sycamore, who is looking for five kids, including us. I'm not sure how he knows about you though, since you just did move in -"
"We're meeting in the next town over!", Shauna excitedly interrupted, "We're going to get a pokemon! We'll wait for you there!" She shouted as she dragged Serena along with her.
"Err… OK?", I said after standing there awkwardly for a moment. "Hey Mom", I said yelling behind me, "I'm going to the next town over to hang out with some friends."
"That's fine dear, don't be out too late."
And so I took off running to catch Serena and Shauna, down the pokemon-free route 1, which means traveling between our two towns will always be incident free. Which is always nice, to be free of being attacked.
Getting into town I spotted Serena and Shauna with two other dudes, "Hey Cale, we're over here!", and so sitting down I was introduced to the two guys, a bigger dude who enjoys dancing by the name of Tierno and a smaller quieter boy by the name Trevor.
It was honestly hard to keep up with things, because Tierno wanted to give us all nicknames and so suggestions flew around for what to nickname everyone, but yet no one else got a nickname, nor do I think Tierno catches onto sarcasm very well because I offered up a suggestion of 'Cale'Anon' and Tierno immediately liked it and now they're all calling me that. My full name. I should have suggested something else but my sarcasm got the better of me.
With that settled Shauna excitedly asked to see the pokemon, and so Tierno let them out, a Froakie, A Chespin and a Fennekin. The Fennekin really drew in my attention, because Trevor was explaining what they all evolve into, the Fennekin eventually becoming a part psychic Delphox when the Fennekin mewled out that even the great Oracles don't put with such trivia, and I responded, asking if he came from Delphi. We both laughed. The others looked around awkwardly not really catching the joke. And so the Fennekin sniffed its nose at the others and chose me more than I chose it. "So what are you going to call me, Fenny?", he asked sarcastically. "No, how about Delphi?", I asked with a wink. After a couple moments thinking it over, my Fennekin said, "Delphi? I think that works."
Trevor then gave us pokedexes, which I guess explains why we were given pokemon, because it sounds like the professor wants our help on a fact finding mission to document the local wildlife. And then Tierno gave me a letter to give to my mom from the professor, where it has a vague smell of cologne on it… Weird.
As I turned to leave Shauna asked to battle me. I tried to get a word in, trying to point out that because she picked the Chespin that she has a type disadvantage, but she wouldn't hear it. It was a quick match, just two ember attacks from Delphi did the job, ending the battle before her little Chespin could completely collapse.
And so with Delphi at hand, I walked home to deliver Professor Sycamore's letter.
