A Nuzlocke adventure with 
riffti and 
isaac_zephyr
isaac_zephyr My alarm goes off; 6:00 AM as I roll out of bed slothishly, throwing my legs off the side. "Seems like so long ago..." I mutter to myself, as the framed picture of myself with my young Chikorita sits on the nightstand with a burnt out incense.
"Isaac! Get out of bed, Professor Elm wanted to see you this morning." I hear my mother's voice coming up the stairs, as if my alarm wasn't enough. "I'll be down in a second!" I quickly slip into my comfortable shoes and walk on down to greet my only family member.
My mother sits there before turning her head with a smile. "Oh cheer up Isaac." She tells me as she gets up and walks over with a shoulder strapped bag and hands it to me. "Here, I've packed up your trainer card and a notepad for you to write in."
"Thanks mom..." I respond weakly, pulling out my trainer card and looking at the happy picture of myself and Graskurt, my Chikorita, our faces squished together fighting for dominance of the shot. He was such a stubborn little friend. My expression can only drop lightly as my mother picks up on my downing mood.
"Isaac... You know there's nothing you could have done..." She reassuringly puts her hand on my shoulder as they drop and I replace the card in my bag. "I could have been a better trainer... I could have made better decisions..."
My mother simply frowns. "Come on... Talking with Elm will cheer you up." She said, scooting me out the door into the cool morning breeze. I'm immediately approached by my neighbor's Marill rushing over to my feet, and see Lyra following up behind. She gives me a quick smile before chasing after her Pokemon friend and taking her back in.
I look over to Elm's lab, walking over and giving a light knock on the door. To my surprise the door opens readily for me and Elm sits up at his desk. "Oh Isaac, i was waiting for you." He says, standing and greeting me with an arm over my shoulders as he guides me into the lab. "I have a favor to ask. You see, today we use Pokeballs to keep our Pokemon in; but in the old days, people used to walk around freely with their Pokemon, like your friends, Lyra and Riffti."
The conversation eludes my cognitive skills as I'm lead to a table with a single pokeball. "See, I want you to take this Pokemon and walk around with it. I wanna see if it affects their growth and your bond. Can you do that for me?"
"A... Pokemon?" I say slowly, looking at the ball and remembering my failure all those years ago. The eager and trusting look on Elm's face though reassures me slightly and I reach out, touching the little button on the ball and in a flash of light I'm presented with a young Chikorita. "P-Professor I..." The little Chikorita looks up intently at me, tilting it's head with a little smile on it's face as It browses me over.
"Seems like he likes you already. Gonna give him a name?" I stand a little flabbergasted at everything going on. The young little Pokemon looks up at me, as if hopeful it's destiny is to join me, though my only thoughts remain on Graskurt, and my failure.
I contemplate a moment more, realizing it is perhaps time to move on from my past as I decide upon a name. "Feuille..." I announce, kneeling down and resting my head on the little Chikorita's head. "I promise, I'll keep you safe..." I whisper to the little one as Elm goes over to the phone to take a call. As I look at proud little Feuille, I can't help but think this might be the beginning of something grand.
