Hello there, readers! It's Bob-Loblaw-98920 here! After a 3-year hiatus in which my writing skills have significantly increased (I apologize for the atrocious stories I posted early on. Random is NOT always funny), I'M BACK BABY. In case any older readers were wondering... I will NOT be finishing any of the other fanfics. After looking back at them, I saw that they were... pretty shabby, which is what prompted my extended absence and eternal shame. I will delete them soon.


My first order of business is to write this fanfic and hopefully do it right! Now, as you may or may have not read in the description, this is (the slightly exaggerated) version of my first truly dedicated NUZLOCKE CHALLENGE! I'll be doing this with Sapphire Version, and for those unfamiliar to the Nuzlocke concept, it's Pokemon with 2 additional rules:
1. You may only catch the first 'mon you see in a particular route (but you may choose to skip over species you have already caught and instead capture the next one). If you screw up and don't get it? Tough luck, buddy.
2. Any Pokemon that faints is "dead" and must be released. No revives.

Nicknaming the 'mons you catch is encouraged. That way, you have a more personal attachment to your Pokemon, and it hurts even worse if it dies.The whole thing was set up to add an additional layer of challenge to playing Pokemon, and to force you to forge a memorable bond with even your least favorite Pokemon.

The best of wishes,
Bobloblaw-98920
