Author's Note:

Before I begin, I would like to clarify something; this first page is dedicated towards informing the audience – such as yourself – how this story would be formatted. If you want to start the fanfiction, you can go ahead to Chapter One: Pastel. Otherwise, you are more than welcome to read a bit about some background/vital information that affects the way this story is told.

To begin with, I would like to mention the spark of this story. After a friend of mine received her very first Pokemon game – Pokemon: White Version – I became inspired to journey through the Unova region once more in order to re-experience the magic behind the fifth Generation video games. However, I already possess a saved file in my Black version full of Pokemon that I have raised proudly, and running through the region with a bunch of Egg-hatched, level one Pokemon didn't excite me. In addition, I didn't have enough money to buy myself Pokmon: White version.

Upon knowing about the Pokemon Nuzlocke Challenge beforehand, I suddenly gained a crazy idea.

I would start a new game in my Black version and treat it as a Nuzlocke Challenge, and throughout the adventure, I would not save the game at all.

This story is based on my Pokemon: Black Version experience without saving, without healing, and without reviving, amongst additional rules.

Now, let's list these rules.

1) The first Pokemon encountered in a new area MUST be caught. This does not count for previously caught Pokemon; if a Pokemon that has been caught in the past (unless it was killed) is encountered first, it can be defeated.

2) Each Pokemon receives a nickname.

3) No healing items are used, and no reviving is allowed whatsoever.

4) If a Pokemon ever faints, it is considered dead. It is placed in Box Seven, labeled Heaven, and is never used in battle ever again.

And now, the rules pertaining to this story;

1) No saving.

2) Dead Pokémon can be used ONLY for training outside of the story's events or clearing small and otherwise insignificant obstacles, such as cutting small trees or smashing small rocks, and for the sake of evolving and completing the Pokedex. They cannot be used for surfing, scaling waterfalls, pushing boulders, climbing rock walls, flying, or diving to significant places. Otherwise, dead Pokemon are out completely.

3) Rustling grass Pokemon and shiny Pokemon that are found in the wild negates the regular Pokemon catching rules. However, if any of these Pokemon are found and caught, then I must choose whether to mention the addition of the regular Pokemon, or the rarer one. The one that isn't chosen is sent to Box One and is trained outside of the story's events, never to be mentioned.

4) If the power is ever turned OFF, the story ends.

5) If all of the Pokemon of the team are defeated, the story ends.

6) If the starter Pokemon faints, the story ends.

7) If Ghetsis and Team Plasma are defeated and the credits roll, the story ends. (Hopefully I will make it there…!)

8) Held items that enhance moves of certain elements during a batlle (such as Amulet Coins, Miracle Seeds, Rocky Helmets, and Type- based Gems,) are allowed. Berries that heal statuses or Health Points are NOT allowed.

At the end of each chapter, the status of the team and the amount of deaths thus far are mentioned.

Any additional information that I have forgotten will be added as soon as I remember.

With that said, let us begin!

With hopes of surviving decently,
