The Rules of Nuzlocke

Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be released.

I may only catch the first Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else. If the first Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances. THIS WILL NOT BE ACTIVATED UNTIL I FIRST GET POKEBALLS.

If the first pokemon encountered is a the same as a previous capture or evolution (IE Own a Pidgeot, encounter a Pidgey), I will ignore it, even if I kill it, and I may catch the next DIFFERENT pokemon in the route. This is to prevent a team of rats or birds.

If I 'Black Out', I lose ALL Items in my current Possession.

MUST and WILL Nickname Every Pokemon I Catch.

Event Pokemon, such as the Legendary Birds, Mewtwo, Ect., are catchable if encountered. HOWEVER, I can only use 5 pokeballs to do so.

Shiny Pokemon. If I find a Shiny, All bets are off, I'm CATCHING that mugger-fudger.

Breeding Pokemon can only be done once with a pair. If I breed two pokemon, I cannot use those pokemon, or the offspring, for breeding.

Buying Pokemon. If I can afford it... I'll buy it. (Cha-ching Casino!)

And so, without further adue, on with the story!

THE KANTO FILES

Prolouge

Three children played in the front yard, enjoying the spring breeze. They all laughed, their parents watched, smiling at them.

"I wanna be Red this time!" one of the boys shouted, smiling big. The other boy raised his hand fast. "Dibs on Blue." The girl pouted, and put her hands on her hips. "Why do I always have to play Green? I wanna be Red this time!"
The second boy laughed. "Because you're a girl, that's why!" The first boy looked confused. "I don't think I'd look good in a skirt..."

Royal, Ben, and Gina. Three friends since childhood. Inseperable since they met, and loyal to a fault.

But as time progressed, and the children grew, fate had many things in store for them, and not all of it good. This is the story of three trainers. And how the journey of these three, would change the lives of many.

Chapter 01: Meet Hellsing

"Come on!"

Royal was running through the streets of Pallet Town, headed for the Lab. Ben and Gina ran behind him, smiles on their faces. It was a sunny day in Spring, and each of the children had been waiting for this day to come for several years. It had just been Ben's birthday, making him the last one of the three to turn 13.

And, the last one of the group to get his Trainer Card.

Ever since they were young, the kids had wanted to be trainers. And they all agreed they would leave at the same time.

The Lab had changed little over the years, growing only slightly to accommodate the Professor's change in equipment every now and again. The three teens walked in through the front door, and was greeted by the old man. He smiled and waved at them.

"Well, if it isn't the 'Legendary Trainers'." he said good naturedly. Ever since they were kids, they had always called each other after the names of some of the greatest Trainers in history, one of which being the Professor's grandson. "I suppose you are all here for your Pokemon?" Three heads nodded. "And you all have your Trainer Cards?" More nodding. "Are you sure you want to become trainers?" The kids grinned at him. Royal actually spoke up.

"We've been playing Pokemon Trainer for 10 years, Professor. I am pretty sure we're ready to rumble!"

The old man laughed and walked over to a table, and the three kids followed him like ducklings. He pressed a button, and the table hissed and opened up, revealing three Pokeballs.

"Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander." The Professor said, and the three looked on in awe. "Three Pokemon, three Trainers. Chose among you who gets which, but chose wisely."

The teens weren't listening. They already knew which ones they wanted. Royal walked over, and picked up the Charmander. Ben took the Squirtle. And Gina took the Bulbasaur. The professor smiled at them.

"Well then... Allow me to present you with these." he walked over to his desk and picked up several red objects. Then he turned and handed them over tot eh awestruck kids.

PokeDexes.

"WoW! Really?" Ben grinned, taking his and looking at it. The others took theirs and the Professor nodded.

"Yes. It's been a while since I gave anyone one of my PokeDexes, and I think you three will do them right. Congratulations, you are now Officially Pokemon Trainers."

There was a moment as all three just looked at each other, smiles growing on their faces. Then they cheered, all jumping in the air and laughing.

"WOOHOO! I'M A TRAINER!" Royal pumped his fist in the air and ran out the door. "Thanks Professor Oak!" The other two followed, waving and thanking him. Oak waved back, leaning against his cane and letting out a sigh. It was nice to see young ones so eager to become trainers, and grow in the world. And he had faith that they would all grow, very, very much.

The three all chattered amongst themselves, wondering what to do next. Royal looked ahead... The limits of Pallet Town were in view, and he could almost hear them calling to him.

"Guys... It's for real. We're Trainers..." The other two noticed the change in his voice, and looked at him.

"... I told my folks, before we left today, that I planned on going on a journey. Now that I have a pokemon... I plan on leaving town for a while."

Gina looked surprised, but Ben less so. He looked down at his pokeball. "... You know... I think I am too." He looked up, grinning. "But before that... How about a battle, Red?"

Royal looked at Ben, then grinned himself, taking a few steps back. "You're on Blue!"

Gina looked at the two, then giggled and quickly got out of the way. "All right you guys! Trainers ready?" She held her hand in the air. Both the boys nodded, and readied their pokeballs. "Pokemon, BATTLE!" Green squealed, chopping the air with her hand. Ben threw his ball.

"Gulf, come out!"

In a flash of red, the blue squirtle was out and looking ready to fight. Royal gripped his pokeball, then tossed it out.

"Hellsing, you're up!"

The Charmander appeared, and looked at Gulf. Before he had much of a chance, "Gulf, use Tackle!" The Squirtle charge, and knocked into Hellsing. The lizard grunted, and responded with a scratch. Royal frowned. He hadn't even ordered yet.

But Ben wasn't waiting. "Use Tail Whip!" As Gulf lowered Hellsing's defense, Royal growled.

"Hellsing, use Scratch!" The red lizard swung it's claws, but missed.

"Tail Whip, Again!"

"Scratch!"

Nothing. Hellsing kept missing, and Gulf kept beating him with his tail. Finally, Ben called out. "Ok! Tackle!"

It was brutal. The force of the blow sent Hellsing tumbling back, rolling on the ground. Royal was worried now.

"Get up! You can't lose your first fight like this!" The Charizard pushed himself up, and glared at Gulf.

"Again! Tackle!"

"Scratch!"

Just as Gulf charged, Hellsing's claws came up, uppercutting the turle and throwing him on his back. Both sides blinked at the critical hit. "Scratch again!"

"Gulf, recover! Come on, get up!"

But it was to late. Hellsing jumped up, landed on Gulf's chest, and reared back his claw.

"I give up!"

Royal looked at Ben. The poor boy was almost in tears... Angry, but more worried about his new friend. Royal called off the attack, and Hellsing jumped down. Ben ran over to his Squirtle, rubbing his eyes. He grinned a little at Roy.

"Good job, Red. A good fight."

Royal shrugged as Gina ran over to them. "You too Blue." Then he looked at the town gates again. "Guys... I'm heading out." he said, looking at both of them. "How about we all meet in Viridian?" Gina smiled and nodded, and Ben muttered an agreement. Roy bit his lip, then left, his Charmander following close beside him. He felt a little bad but...

"You ok Boss?"

Royal looked down at Hellsing, who was walking with his claws behind his head.

"Yeah just... I don't know. I feel kind of bad for hurting my friend."

"If the water type had beaten me, and I doubt he could, would you think his owner would feel bad?"

Royal frowned. "Well, yeah, but I'd tell him it was ok."
Hellsing shrugged. "Then what are you worried about? He's your friend right? I'm sure he feels the same way."

Royal looked at the lizard, then grinned and picked him up, putting him on his shoulder.

"You know something? You're pretty awesome." The Charmander grinned and shrugged. "I know. I know."

Royal laughed, and they continued past the town gates, and headed towards Viridian City.

"We're gonna be the very best. Like no one ever was!"

"Heck yeah!"
