Day 2: The Festival

On to the festival!

In game terms, the festival is a friendly battle against your rival.
Though in Nuzlocke terms there are no such things as "friendly" battles, every fight is one to the death!
So I decided it would be a good idea to train both Marco and Chou to level 8 before continuing, as to avoid said death.

So the battle begins, I send out one of my only two Flying types and Hau sends out...
A FRECKING PICHU!!!

Ye I'm done for.

... Actually no, Chou made fairly short work of his Pichu, and Macro beat down his Popplio pretty quick too.
Well. That was easy.

After this the main character goes to sleep (with the sun shining brightly through the windows, what even?!)

Kukui's House

The next day, Lillie leads you to prof. Kukui's house. On the way there I found this little guy in the grass south from my home:

A level 6 Wingul! Sweet, I love Winguls!
But wait, I already caught Chou on route 1, and I didn't see the game update my area... Am I still on route 1? Why don't I get a town map first?

Well, here I kind of broke one of my own rules but only for something necessary that I could've gotten from the game, only a minute later.
...
CRAP! I am still on route 1!

So this little guy had to be killed off and left in the wild. Otherwise I would've gotten another Flying type, which would've been a funny coincidence though!
Especially since Flying is my favourite type!

As I arrive in Kukui's house, get a Rotom Pokédex (with that, the freaking town map finally!) and I meet the strongest Pokémon in the universe...



IF ONLY LOVE REALLY WAS THE STRONGEST FORCE KNOWN TO MANKIND! (but unfortunately that's Mega Rayquaza)

Next up is the Trainer's School, oh boy!
