She dazzled 'em all with Spatial Rend! The other competitors never stood a chance!

I also like the photo you chose for the Contest Hall. It even has vaguely Pokéball-shaped windows! Excellent touch.

The firing squad takes aim at me and shoots, but luckily I was able to perfectly dodge every bullet thanks to my mastery of the Cha-Cha Slide.

The big motivation was Leaving Slateport, Dudes so that would make sense.

She's a rodent so it probably went something like this:

It's not like the competition was very stiff from "guy who has a Machoke holding a box".

Man, I was hoping someone would notice this. I spent far too long looking at pictures of convention centers to try and find the right pic for like a two second panel in a bonus video and I finally found that and was like "this is the one".


This one is about as short as they're gonna be.

Episode 8: Hoenn's Honey Boo Boo

Here we get the cameo from Lucky the Kadabra along with her family Franklin and Arthur. Lucky will be fine as long as she doesn't wind up on a reality TV show shown on TLC. Probably.

Once again, the combination of the rocker body and plastic Pikachu head is very funny.

And that bit with the Abra son being excited about winning second-place was almost wholesome for a second... can't have that LMAO. Psychic stage parents must be intolerable on a level not seen on the Earth.

For some reason, looking at Lucky's image made me think he was a Thievul. They are mustache foxes.

I enjoyed the original iStockphoto runs and I'm enjoying this one too! My favourite page so far is the one about the boxed Pokémon dreaming of revenge. : D

If I worry about my gender identity, it just confuses me, so I'm good with the three main ones. I just may correct a "he," though, but I take no offense from it.

Arthur and Franklin got ice cream afterward. Arthur got Bubblegum Explosion. Franklin got Chocolate. This is the only thing Arthur will remember about the day.

Clearly Game Freak is stealing my stock photo designs. Do you think I could get away with suing? There better not be a Karate Chicken in Scarlet and Violet...

Psychic Pokemon's powers are just vague enough to let the writers get away with whatever bullshit they want to get away with, so I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to decide if she's just grumpy or not.

Aww. Okay, it's wholesome again!

The Dowsing Machine is adorable, lol. I hope that's just what Nate looks like from now on. I also got a kick out of your depiction of Electro Ball. And I love the Lethal Low-Stat Ladies! It's nice to see some team bonding going on!

One thing I'm hoping to do a little more with this run is let the pokemon themselves have a little more personality.

For the low price of just one comment, question, or criticism per update, you can help a Nuzlocker get the engagement they need to keep their ego satisfactorily swollen. Won't you be an angel to a content creator in need?

Alas, alack... those inverse battles can be lethal. And were, in this case. You shall not be forgotten, Madame Foster, you beautiful recolored gerbil.

A lady less than lethal, laid low in a luckless loss. The loathsome lesson leaves a lugubrious leader and a lachrymose linoone.
