Prologue
There's a reason they are legendary.
There once were two brothers, who were feared by all.
Their partner was fiercer than gods.
Enemies quailed before their might. Kings kneeled before their glory.
They climbed to the peak of the world, famously known for rendering the closest of bonds to shreds.
The first of them to get there stared into the plain fogginess of the heavens. And then he turned to the other two, just arrived, and asked the question that would change the world.
The world shifted.
Black woke up.
He stared at his ceiling, trying to process why he was up so early. Something did not seem right with this picture...
"Black! Someone from the lab came by earlier with a package for you and your friends!"
Black's eyes widened. "Wait- Did the professor really...?"
He heard his mom open the door. Instinctively, Black hid himself under his covers even further. As much as he loved her, his mother tolerated no lollygagging when it came to waking up in the morning. He didn't feel like partaking in his normal morning rituals if today actually was the day.
He heard her put something on his desk.
She sighed. "I know you're awake."
He didn't say a thing.
"Fine, fine . . . since today's your big day I'll let it slide, just this once."
That last part was said with a hint of wistfulness. Black knew why, but the package on his desk stopped him from feeling the same.
The door closed, signaling her departure. Once he was sure she was gone he threw off his covers and leapt out of bed. He was at the desk in an instant, and practically ripped off the boxes cover in his eagerness.
Three shiny pokeballs were in the box, each with a different sticker marking their type. Grass, fire, and water. Snake, boar, and otter. He knew the ins and outs of these particular three better than any other. Having worked with Professor Juniper for years in preparation for his License Exam, he and his friends had access to more resources than other trainees. The Unova starters were, of course, of special interest to him.
With a grin and a pounding heart, he reached for his very first Pokémon.
End Prologue
Author Notes: For those who don't know, a Nuzlocke is a playthrough a Pokémon game whose main tenets are as follows: catch the first Pokémon of every route, and if they faint at any point in the game: They. Are. Dead.
It can be an interesting experience, and many people chronicle their runs in some form. Comics and stories seem to be the most popular from what I have seen. This won't just be a retelling of Pokémon White/Black though. That would be too easy.
