Entry #4: My own Cyclops

Trainer: Triton
Money: 4200
Badges: 1
Pokémon: Pepé (Horsea) Level 15 Ability: Volt Absorb
     Sandy (Charizard) Level 18 Ability: Shell Armor
     Flafa (Venonat) Level 16 Ability: Water Veil
     Wasp (Beedrill) Level 8 Ability: Arena Trap
     Spud (Carvanha) Level 6 Ability: Cute Charm

I couldn't chase after the guy right away. Rustboro gym had my Pokémon in less than PWNAGE condition, so I went to heal. The Aqua grunt is cornered in Rusturf Tunnel anyway, unless he somehow has the Rock Smash HM. Then he has to get a gym badge from Mauville's Wattson..



Team "Aqua?"
             
BWAHAHA
                       
Meet team Shock Wave, Bro





I know that the Pokémon are randomized, but I'm pretty sure that the Grunt's level 11 Porygon would still disintegrate even at Rustboro's gym without serious training. Pepé, of course, had no problem bombing it dead with explosive bubbles while it kept using conversion to get a type advantage (Dude, play with your chemistry on your own time?). After the grunt scrammed, I took the Goods and gave a stolen Pokémon, Peeko (Wingull) back to his panicking master Briney.

Back in Rustboro, I received another Great Ball from the man and followed him back to Devon Corps to meet the President. He gave me the Goods to deliver to Slateport, because I obviously had more potential to protect them than his subordinate. He also gave me a Letter for Steven in Dewford town, and then a PokéNav (Cell phone and GPS)! Needless to say, I left for Dewford Town tech savvy and confident.


FREE.
DATA.
PLAN.

 COME ON HUMANITY



I hitched a boat ride from Briney, who had a cabin near Petalburg and could easily cross the sea. Soon I was in Dewford, and just like Rustboro, I set out to Dewford Cave to get another companion.
If you go deep enough inside Dewford Cave, it gets reeeeeaaallly dark, and going in and out without Flash is a challenge, especially in Nuzlocke, because there's the survival aspect to add on to the navigation, the Pokémon are high leveled and more formidable. That's what everybody says. Do you know what I say?
RECKLESS SONUVAGUN COMING THROUGH (with an escape rope)
That formidable high-leveled Pokémon is worth it in Nuzlocke, so I used a repel to keep battles away until I was in the dark. Randomizer or not, I want a deep-cave dweller, and I got exactly what I wanted - A huge level 10 male muscle-ized MACHAMP!  I named him Polyphemus, after the huge cyclops that resides deep in a cave on the island of Cyclopes in Greek mythology.







He fits the bill accept for the cyclops part. His Karate Chop literally destroys everything (46 attack at level 15).

He also has Magma Armor, you know, because freezing that hotness is just not possible.







Afterwards, I used the cave for training. There were Latias, Espeons, and Deoxys that gave really good amounts of experience, especially to my Carvanha Spud, because Psychic moves don't work and Bite (lovebite) knocks them out very quickly. Eventually, I found Steven and delivered the letter. He gave me TM 47, which would contain Steel Wing, but was randomized to Sketch...
WAIT WHAT 
Click the link if you don't know what it is, this move is freaking sweet. Of my Pokémon, Sandy (Charizard) can learn it, and who needs Growl, anyway? This should be interesting...
Moving on from that, I cleared Brawly's gym no problem with a now level 16 overpowered Polyphemus. I got my second badge and the TM for Bulk Up that was now the move Rest.
Polyphemus could learn it, but it didn't seem right.
Off to Slateport!!
