Picking up from my many deaths. I decided to be more careful when training my Female Nidroran and Chespin (Nidoqueen will be very helpful in the 5th and 6th gym).

Along the training, Quilladin died. I did not expect Remoraid to pack Aurora Beam. Another starter Pokemon that failed to reach his final form. I have failed to take good care of Chespin, Carlos.

With Quilladin dead before reaching a Chesnaught. I decided that I had to evolve my Nidorina immediately so she can live, and so I did. She then perform better and was easier to train this time around. Though, she got pretty haxed during the training process.

For five straight encounters, the wild Pokemon was able to land a critical hit on their first hit. It baffles me how hax this is and how much the Gods of the Wonderlocke is screwing with me. Fortunately, Nidoqueen didn’t die from training. 

After bringing her up to level, I proceed to Lumiose City and obtained my 5th badge with no deaths. It’s really funny and strange that I exceeded the level cap by accident. The Team Flare Scientist I fought earlier has a Lv38 Mightyena, yet Clemon’t Heliolisk is Lv37. So my Pyroar and Nidoqueen exceeded the levels, by accident. Oh well….

Headed to Lavarre City next. Got a Lv58 Lickitung from Wonder Trade. Fought the gym and obtained the badge with not much problems (this time without exceeding the level cap at all). 

I’ll be taking a few days break from Wonderlocke, so the Wonderlocke continues, next week!

After playing for 2 days, I have gotten the 3rd and 4th badge, not without having several casualties. Most of my deaths were a surprise, and some of them due to my carelessness.

I was amazed I didn’t have any deaths from the battle with Korrina’s two Lucarios, or with the Brains and Brawns double battle (though that battle was really scary). Also, I managed to get out of Reflection cave, surviving two Wobbuffet encounters. 

I got some cool stuff from Wonder Trade, ranging from a Pikachu (who’s now a Raichu, and a very crucial party member), a Lv 48 Sliggoo which I can’t use for now, but is 2 levels away from evolving into a Goodra, a Riolu, Chespin, Litleo, and even a female Nidoran. However, I also received a Feebas, which will be pretty useless since I can only do Wonder Trading, and not normal trading for trade evolving.

If I remember correctly, I had around 4-5 deaths this time. Most of them was being careless. However, for Ferroseed’s case, he died from a trainer’s Hawlucha in Reflection Cave, so Mustafa (OT of the Ferroseed), I apologize for failing to take good care of your Ferroseed.

Another surprising death came from Shalour city’s gym. Charmeleon’s Fire Fang did a lot of damage to Heracross, and Heracross used Counter, which killed Charmeleon. A shocking death. Blue, I have failed to take care of your Charmander, he will never see the day where he could soar the skies as a Charizard, I’m deeply sorry.

I was kinda shaken after those two deaths, which became pretty obvious when I failed to kill the opposing Lucario at the Tower of Mastery with the Lucario I have. So I decided that the Lucario I used was considered ‘dead’, and I cannot recruit him for my team for Wonder Trade.

Went to Coumarine City with not much problems. Defeating the gym with zero deaths. But when trying to train up my team, I faced two more deaths. Riolu died from the wild Milktank, he got slammed really hard. Rue, I’m sorry, I failed to take good care of your Riolu. Another death came from my Monferno, who died from a Water Pulse and hurting himself by confusion by a wild Mantyke, which made me feel extremely bad for being so careless with my team, especially when Monferno is just 2 levels away from being an Infernape. I really failed to take care of your Chimchar, Mykhl.

With those two deaths, I realized leveling up my team in Kalos is not easy at all. Threats are present at every route. But I need my Nidoran to evolve as soon as possible so it could help me during the 5th and 6th Gyms. 

I will continue doing to level grinding to make some of my Pokemons up to level with my current team, which includes:

Zoroark, Raichu, Floette, Pyroar, Leafeon, Mawile, and Malamar.

The Wonderlocke Adventure continues……

Continuing from Santalune City, I received the Exp. Share, but I decided to not activate it since it will make this challenge easy. 

Some of the awesome stuff I got from Wonder trade include a Lv7 Leafeon, a Lv1 Chimchar, Lv 23 Ferroseed, and a Lv1 Charmander, which is pretty awesome since I chosed Charmander at Professor Sycamore’s lab (where I got a Deino for the Charmander). I’ll be able to use the Mega Stone on it (assuming he survived til then).

I also got a Korean Shroomish, which unfortunately died from Shellder’s Icicle Spear. Jin-Hik (the Korean OT of the Shroomish, I think that’s how you spell his name, lol), forgive me, I have failed to take care of your Shroomish.

I finally reached Cyllage City and I was ready to face the gym. Having more Pokemon now, I was able to set the level cap of my team to 25 (unlike last time where I had a Mawile in the first gym).

The battle against Grant was a tough one despite him not having any evolved Pokemon. The greatest threat he has was his Tyrunt. And it took out a Deino with Stomp as Deino tried to save Ferroseed’s life. Kiara (the OT of this Deino), I’m sorry I have failed to take good care of your Deino. He will never live to soar the skies as a magnificent (yet scary) dragon.

Badges Obtained: 2

Number of deaths so far: 3

To be continued……..

A Wonderlocke is a Nuzlocke challenge variant where you Wonder Trade away whatever Pokemon you encountered/received in a new area. 

Additional rules that I’ve added include no Super training, O-power, or Pokemon-Amie (unless you want Slyveon), Exp. Share to be turned off, Battle style to ‘Set’, and no use of items other than Pokeballs during battle. 

Pokemons I’ve obtained prior to the first gym are:

A Lv 16 Mawile for my starter, Fennekin 

A Lv 1 Smeargle for a Route 2 Fletchling 

A Lv 32 Malamar (who won;t obey me for now) for a Santalune Forest Fletchling 

A Lv 1 Omanyte for a Route 3 Bidoof (route 3), traded for omanyte lv1-12, died from viola’s vivilon (trapped by infestation, and viola used potion). I have failed to take care of your omanyte, cicero. forgive me.

A Lv 10 event Torchic from Santalune City that went unused since I can’t trade event Pokemons, and

A Level 1 Zorua for a Route 22 Bunnelby.

The first gym was pretty easy, having a Mawile in my team helped a lot. However, I had a death.

I sent out my Omanyte when Viola sent out her Vivilon thinking I could get more experience on him. He was trapped with Infestation, and Viola healed her Vivilon, which proceed to kill off Omanyte. 

Number of Badges: 1

Death Count: 1

So, remember the last sentence that you see after Wonder Trading your Pokemon? It goes something like 'Take good care of *insert Pokemon’s name’.

So to Cicero, the Original Trainer of the Omanyte I have, I am sorry. I have failed to take good care of your Omanyte. I was greedy and careless, and let him die by Infestation.
