Whoa, what's this?
As a first story EVER on this website, I must play a Nuzlocke challenge... hurrah...

Well, hope you all enjoy whatever's gonna come out!

RULES:

Rules for ZtanLocke are slightly different from the normal rules of the Nuzlocke challenge:

-If a Pokemon faints, it is considered dead
-You may only catch one pokemon from each route/cave/town
-You may skip catching a pokemon that was already previously caught
-You may catch shinies even if you already caught a pokemon in that area
-You may only buy pokeballs and potions, you may not buy revives or elixirs or any stat boosting items
-You may NOT teach TM's, only HM's

Let's get on with the story now, shall we?


I wake up from my deep sleep. My eyes met my ceiling which has a poster saying "Fight the League today; your journey awaits!" I rolled to the side which has my alarm clock. I groaned as I found out it was only 6:30, and I slumped back to sleep.

My name is Orange. People prefer to call me Ztan (dunno why), pronounced "Zuh-tan". I am an 11 year old "kid" living in Pallet town. I am standing at 194 cm and weighing at about 54 kg. I have silver eyes and black hair, considered "strange but awesome" by my pals at the town.

I have exactly 14 friends since the announcement of the trainer Red (which happens to be my big brother) won the Indigo Challange. He then decides to also travel around Johto and stays upon Mt. Silver and, until now, never came home.

People think I have the talent like my brother, but so far I didn't show any signs of it. Everybody is still expecting something to come out of me, even myself whom, which you should know, is very lazy.

I have been looking into many adventures, such as Kit's success in Sinnoh and Rooke's development in Johto, as well as some other scattering around in Hoenn, Unova and even Kanto, this region I'm in.

Awkwardly enough, they all own this disease called "Nuzlocke." When a trainer with Nuzlocke has a fainted pokemon, it doesn't faint. IT DIES. It's said that people were born with this disease, and I overheard my mom told my brother that he had this disease. I realized a few weeks afterwards that this disease has probably spread to myself. I never thought it would be a problem, until that day came.

After a few minutes complaining about that annoying alarm clock, I realized I didn't check the date. I woke myself up, and peered into the clock. I woke up and jumped with a shock on today's date. 3rd December, 2012.

It's my birthday, which means now I am 12 and also the day I will recieve my pokemon.


I ran to Oak's lab as fast as I could. I couldn't wait to pick a pokemon as my very own. I knew what my brother chose, so I will take a Charmander, for fun.

My rival Purple was already waiting in front of her grandfather's door, being as patient as always. Purple was wearing a nice purple top and some jeans, and putting on an innocent look.

Purple was always the opposite of her brother. Her brother was always impatient and cocky, while she was patient and possessed the ability of which everybody would love of her being a pokemon trainer; humble in victory and gracious in defeat.

"Good morning Ztan," said Purple in a polite way

"Mornin'"

"Happy birthday by the way"

"Not now, I need my freakin murder lizard ASAP"

"Patience, my grandfather is trying to find his glasses"

"Then why in the world are you standing out here in the open?"

"Dunno"

I sighed. Purple was always the semi-conscious one. She does things without thinking, and most of the time, doing it carefully. She's probably going to mess up her choice of partner.

"Can we go inside now Old Man Oak?" I shouted inside.

"You were waiting outside?! Darn it Purple, I was waiting for you to get here a few minutes ago!" shouted Oak from inside. His voice is impatient, just like how he SHOULDN'T be.

Purple shook her head. She opened the door and went inside, I followed right behind her. The room inside was huge, but the machinery inside made it look tinier than what it should be. What I can see is a compartment, containing 5 pokeballs, one of them probably my murderlizard. I could also see a PC, a healing machine, a map, and a navigator which shows where I am now. Also a bunch of gizmos and gadgets I don't care about.

In the middle of the room sat Proffesor Oak. He is older than what I thought he was going to be, already wearing glasses and has a hunched back. He was holding a pokedex in one hand and a phone in the other.

"I was waiting for you!" He said in a cheerful voice.

"Hi grandfather!" said Purple

"Good day too you Tina, and hello Ztan!"

"Good day Mr. Oak."

"Right, now about your starter Pokemon..." he said. "Choose from one on the table. 3 years ago, Red took Bulbasaur and Blue took Charmander. 2 years ago Green stole Squirtle, and last year, Yellow was forced to take Pikachu since I didn't get any shippings of Pokemon, so here you are!
The layout came on screen, and we can pick our starters. Instead of three we got 5 starters to choose from, which is cool. We get the usual Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle, along with Pikachu and Meowth.

I ran straight too my murderlizard and released him. He looked at me. I looked at him. "Hi there, what's your name?" I asked him.

"The name's Inferno."

"Cool name, mine is Orange, but you can call me Ztan. Do you mind if you join my newly started team?"

"I'm glad to be part of it" said Inferno calmly.

"BY THE WAY ZTAN, catch!" Oak threw me a Pokedex, and I already knew what it does.

POKEDEX REGISTERED:
Inferno the Charmander
Calm nature
Met in PALLET TOWN at Lv 5.

"Ha, calm nature" I snickered.

"Now you know the rules, you need to battle" Oak said, cheerfully.

"Alrighty, go Torrent!" shouted Purple.

"Go Inferno!" I shouted.

After 3 minutes of shouting out "USE SCRATCH," Inferno won, and made the Squirtle faint in exhaustion. We high fived and we knew we were the perfect team.
We exited the lab and went straight for Route 1. We ran as fast as we could, and it seems nature is on our side for making it not too dark, not too light.

We stepped into Route 1 together, and from there our journey began. Without Pokeballs. DAMMIT OAK!
