Chapter one

A/N: This chapter doesn't have much NPC dialogue, or Pokemon dialogue, sorry

I awoke with a grogginess. "What happened... hm?" I look around and notice several things. I am not Jordan right now, but Lakono. I am not in an outfit I own in either form. I am not in a room that is familiar to me. Last, but not least, I cannot access my powers. It is then, that everything comes rushing back to me. "A pokemon yellow nuzlocke, huh? I'm guessing that if I lose I'm stuck here... or I have to restart, since I can't die..." At least, that's what I said, but if my powers didn't work, there was a chance my curse wasn't in effect either.

I went to the computer and withdrew a potion, then I left the room. I was shocked to see my own mother sitting there, but as I waited, it appeared she was acting just like the NPC in the game. "Tch... figures." After going around town for a bit, I came to the conclusion that no one will communicate with me other than something related to the game. "Stupid NPCs..."

I walk over to the tall grass and look around. "Huh... guess I have to go INTO the grass... hopefully no pokemon bite my face off." I take a step into the grass. Then another. After the third step, do I finally hear someone call me.

'Wait!' I hear a man call. I stare at him blankly as he explains how wild pokemon jump out at people in the tall grass, and then Pikachu appears. Oak captures it and, after repeating what he said about wild pokemon appearing in the tall grass, leads me to his lab, and urges me to take the pokeball that I know contains Eevee. He also seems to have forgotten his grandsons name, so I named him 'Kino' after Kinotono, the soul jewel form of my dark self. Suddenly, everything turns grey.

"What?" I ask, surprised. Turning around, I see... Mewtwo?!

Hello, Lakono. Do you like my game board so far? Mewtwo asks in a familiar voice. After thinking for a bit, I recognize it.

"It's you, the one who dragged me here... so you took the form of mewtwo, huh?"

That is correct. And my servants have taken the form of the legendary birds. If you wish to escape, you must defeat all four of us, either by killing us, or capturing us. That is, assuming you can do so without all your pokemon dying. Don't worry, if you capture us we'll be replaced by the actual pokemon, and we ourselves will cease to be.

I narrow my eyes. Mewtwo was only available after the elite four's defeat... meaning I'd have to beat the entire game and more. I start thinking if there was a way to capture one of the legendary birds or mewtwo. "Why tell me this, and why put your own existence at risk just for a, what did you call it, experiment?"

Because, it's not everyday you get a chance to rid the world of an immortal. It responds casually, yet assumedly. I'm willing to risk my life on that chance.

Growling, I reach for Eevee... only for Mewtwo and the grey to vanish, and Kino to push me down. "Ouch..." I listen to Kino and Oak squabble for a bit, and I finally receive Pikachu, who I quickly name 'Wowza'. I quickly use the 'use potion on full hp Pikachu to increase happiness without losing the potion' thing to boost Wowza's happiness. As I try to leave, as expected, Kino challenges me. "Hopefully Eevee doesn't get a critical on us."

"Don't worry, I won't let him." Was the response... wait, a response?

"You can talk?" I exclaim, to which he nods.

"Yes, all your pokemon will talk while you are here." Wowza responded before trading blows of tackles and thundershocks. After the victory, I went home where 'mother' healed Wowza. I shiver as I note how real she looked... as if she was really here, and not dea- I cut my line of thinking off with a scowl and leave the building, not planning on returning. I head up route 1, and encounter a couple of Ratatata, which annoys me, because now I can't capture anything in route one since I didn't have pokeballs yet. Giving me more irritation was that when I defeated the wild pokemon, they died, but I didn't throw a fit because not only would that not do anything to get me out of here or to bring them back, but because that is exactly what he wanted me to do. After receiving a potion from the man in route 1, and getting Oaks parcel, I heal Wowza at the pokemon center and head to give Oak his parcel.

It was only after he opened it did I remember that the parcel contained pokeballs, which caused an angry scowl to appear on my face. After a conversation about how collecting data on all the pokemon was Oak's dream, receiving the pokedex and that Kino would tell his sister not to give me a town map. This, of course, causes me to leave town without the map, forgetting that if I were to ask her I would of still received it, and I wouldn't remember until AFTER I got to pewter... but I'm getting ahead of myself.

I trained Wowza on route 1, bought some pokeballs, potions, and TEN antidotes, plus finding another potion, I go to catch some pokemon. Using Wowza to weaken them, I captured Fist the Mankey on route 22 using 2 pokeballs, Wind the Pidgey on route 2 and BeFree the Caterpie in Viridian Forest with 1 pokeball each. Healing them at the pokemon center when needed, I train them up a bit until they all gained at least 1 level, and that Fist and Wowza were both level 8. Then, after healing them once more, I challenged Kino at Route 22, Wowza quickly dispatching with the Sperrow and Fist taking care of the Eevee, surprisingly well despite not having a fighting type move yet.

After breaking up an argument between Wind and Fist, I decide to move towards the forest, stopping at the Pokemon center for a bit. I push through several wild pokemon with ease, and find a pokeball. Then, the fight with the Lass. Her pokemon were cute but powerful, and Fist barely survived, with 1 hp. I start heading to the pokemon center, worried, only for a Pidgioto to appear. It hit Wowza with a few powerful gusts before it finally went down, and Wowza was badly injured. I rush to the pokemon center, and manage to get there without another wild pokemon appearing.

Glad that my pokemon were okay now, and that none of them were dead, I start training at route 22 again, until Befree evolved into Metapod. They all stopped talking for now, focusing on getting stronger so they can survive. I try getting through the forest again, with Wowza and Wind taking care of the bug catchers and the wild pidgeys, and have Befree take on the wild caterpies and metapods. I notice that I haven't seen and Weedle, and frown because it means I bought 10 antidotes for nothing. Notting that the trainer tips at the very end of the forest says 'If you want to avoid battles, don't go into the grass', I chuckle at the irony. "Yes, put it here at the end of the forest, when 50 other people have already told me this." I mutter with a sarcastic smirk.

I exit, and frown, noticing that I am just at a different part of route 2, meaning I can't get any more pokemon. "Dang it." Heading to the pokemon center, I finally remember that I don't have a town map, thus after healing my pokemon, I go ALL the way back to Pallet town, and all the way back to Pewter. And there were still no Weedles, thus my antidotes were useless. Needless to say, I was infuriated.
