I will officially be giving up on completing Pokemon Legends Arceus. I can’t catch the Forces of Nature and therefore cannot beat the game.

Sorry everyone.

On May 4th, 2014, I published this fanfiction, Pet Shopstuck on AO3. Please take the time to read it, as it's the easiest way this will make sense: https://archiveofourown.org/works/1533467/chapters/3245282


It was a simple silly animal AU, taking place in a pet shop.


Now read this, a fanfic called "The Pet Shop", written by scaryshinigami on June 14th, 2014:

Notice anything, there?


The two stories are IDENTICAL and I somehow had no idea someone had stolen from me until just now.


I commented on the fic and am awaiting a response. I'm actually pretty angry right now.


EDIT: Forgot to mention. DO NOT HARASS THIS PERSON. I can handle this on my own and they don't deserve harassment for this.

EDIT 2: They don't appear to be active anymore either, which might make things more complicated.

EDIT 3: Good news! The story has been deleted!

The Eddsworld Hogwarts AU will definitely be cancelled.


I’m sorry, guys, I truly am. But I can’t in good conscience associate Edd’s characters with Rowling’s work anymore.


I have a lot of art that I don’t want to go to waste, of course, so those, or rather the ones I like the most or have the most world/character building applications, will be uploaded both here and on my Tumblr eventually just to give it one last hurrah (and because I worked hard enough on a lot of them that I can’t just say “welp this will go nowhere bye guys”), but after those, the AU will never be updated again.


I’m sorry to anyone who might’ve been interested in the AU, but I don’t think I can do this anymore. Even if I don’t truly let HP go, I can’t associate Edd’s work with it, nor Tom’s or Tord’s or Matt’s. Not after the crap Rowling’s been pulling.


Thank you to anyone who has been enjoying the AU while I was (sporadically) uploading it, you’ll all hopefully get to see the final hurrahs for it soon and if not soon then eventually (please bear with me a lot of it is in a sketchbook and I have to tear them out to scan them which both makes them harder to organize and upsets my mom) and please look forward to any other projects I end up doing in the future.

So this was my first ever Nuzlocke. My motivation to do it? Honestly just for the experience of doing it in the first place! As a Pokemon fan, I simply didn't wanna go my entire life without ever doing a Nuzlocke and I finally had a means to do it.


So how was the experience? Pretty damn exciting, if I'm being completely honest! I felt all the feelings anyone who does a Nuzlocke does, the anxiety of my Pokemon ending up in the red, the triumph of victory, the sorrow of their deaths, etc. I had fun, even if it also made me sad at certain points.


I also feel pretty good about myself since I went through an entire Nuzlocke with only five casualties. Most people get casualties in the double digits. It was sad to lose Minnie, Sandy, Spike, Neptune and Griffon, though.


A recap of my League team:

Untitled

> Buddy the Venusaur

>> Level 63

>> Bold Nature

>> Overgrow Ability

>> Sleep Powder, Razor Leaf, Giga Drain, Frenzy Plant

>> The OG

>> Status: Alive

Our starter, the leader of the team. Suffered several close calls but survived the entire story which I am so proud of him for. Team leader who acted as our king against Rock/Ground, Water and Electric until Toxica came into the picture.


> Griffon the Pidgeot

>> Level 61

>> Serious Nature

>> Keen Eye Ability

>> Aerial Ace, Wing Attack, Return, Fly

>> The Lord of the Sky

>> Status: Deceased

One of our earliest catches. He was sort of a Fly slave for a bit, but he was the best fighter we had for Grass, Fighting and Bugs...until he failed to one shot Bruno's Hitmonchan, leading to his death at the hands of said Hitmonchan's Counter. It wasn't his fault. I should've told him to use a better move than Wing Attack. His death was not in vain, however--he took us this far, we had to keep going from there.


> Paul the Poliwrath

>> Level 60

>> Hasty Nature

>> Damp Ability

>> Hypnosis, Surf, Strength, Rain Dance

>> The Extinguisher

>> Status: Alive (and kicking...and punching)

Both the last minute and unexpected member of the team, I had never expected to love a Poliwrath as much as I did. Our wonderful little amphibian wrestler guy, this was a great example of how a Nuzlocke can give you a whole new appreciation for a Pokemon you once overlooked. Paul earned his place on the team after the untimely death of Neptune after he tanked three Wing Attacks to the face from Kai's Charizard, then took it out with Surf. He proceeded to help us throughout the game--in particular, saving our asses against Bruno after Griffon's death.


> Zynx the Jynx

>> Level 60 (leveled up during the League)

>> Mild Nature

>> Oblivious Ability

>> Lovely Kiss, Psychic, Ice Beam, Calm Mind

>> The Mysterious Outsider

>> Status: Alive (surprisingly)

A Pokemon I really WANTED to use because I like Jynx a lot and never got to use it in a Pokemon game before. She earned her place taking out Koga's Koffings and Weezings and I hoped to use her against Lance. Sure enough, she obliterated Lance's dragons all by just one-shotting them with Ice Beam and then Ice Beamed Kai's Exeggutor afterward (I was going to just let her sit back and relax during that battle, but Griffon's death forced me to reconsider).


> Toxica the Nidoqueen

>> Level 60 (leveled up during the League)

>> Gentle Nature

>> Poison Point Ability

>> Earthquake, Rock Slide, Brick Break, Thunderbolt

>> The Queen

>> Status: Alive

The twin sister of our dearly departed Spike, joining our team to fight for his sake. She ended up as one of my favorite members of the team. Nidoqueen was another Pokemon I've always wanted to use on a team and I'm glad I finally could. After finally getting rid of that stupid HM move she had, she ended up as having the most versatile moveset of our team and this coverage helped tremendously against the Elite Four, taking out Agatha's Arbok and Golbat then Lance's Gyarados and Aerodactyl whilst withstanding every hit they could throw at her, and even epically destroying Aerodactyl by poisoning it with Poison Point; and then she took out Kai's Pidgeot and Charizard.


> Fat Cat the Snorlax

>> Level 60 (leveled up during the League)

>> Timid Nature

>> Thick Fat Ability

>> Yawn, Brick Break, Body Slam, Shadow Ball

>> The Big Sleepy Boi

>> Status: Alive

Fat Cat's story was one of a rocky start, as I initially wanted him to take on Sabrina but got impatient enough to jump headfirst into it, which ended in the death of Neptune. But Fat Cat ultimately proved to save the day. Effectively carried us through the Elite Four, more specifically taking on Lorelei and Agatha. Shy though he may have been, and maybe traumatized by the death of Neptune, he eventually broke out of his shell and acted as one of our MVPs.


Remembering the Fallen (aside from Griffon):


> Minnie the Rattata

>> Level 2-Level 2

>> Hasty Nature

>> Guts Ability

>> Tackle, Tail Whip

>> Cause of Death: Tackle from a wild Rattata on Route 1

Minnie was our first catch and first casualty. Almost a rite of passage really. Sure she probably would've ended up as just an HM slave if she lived, but I'd have been willing to keep her on if I could. She's gone, but never forgotten, even if she wasn't with us long.


> Sandy the Sandslash

>> Level 10-Level 26

>> Sassy Nature

>> Sand Veil Ability

>> Cut, Slash, Dig, Defense Curl

>> Cause of Death: Self-Destruct from a Team Rocket Grunt's Koffing in Pokemon Tower

She was one of my favorite members of the team and her death hit hard, but not nearly as hard as the next death. She put in so much help against so many tough opponents, especially Lt. Surge. Her death made me no longer trust anything with Self-Destruct, but fortunately, Buddy and Toxica managed to make me feel more confident, as both of them could tank the move easily. Her death was avenged at the final defeat of Giovanni.


> Spike the Nidoking

>> Level 6-Level 30

>> Gentle Nature

>> Poison Point Ability

>> Shock Wave, Brick Break, Focus Energy, Horn Attack

>> Cause of Death: Struggle from the Snorlax at Route 12

Quite possibly my absolute favorite alongside Buddy, Spike's death was likely the most painful of the bunch. Spike pretty much carried us and I thought for sure he'd live through the whole story...but then that damn Snorlax beat him to death and I nearly lost the will to keep going through the challenge. When Toxica joined the team and I saw she had the same nature as Spike, I was like "Yes, she's his sister, she wants to avenge her brother" and took her in. The king may be dead, but his reign lives on through his sister.


> Neptune the Gyarados

>> Level 5-Level 45

>> Lax Nature

>> Intimidate Ability

>> Dragon Rage, Surf, Hydro Pump, Bite

>> Cause of Death: Critical hit Psychic from Sabrina's Alakazam

Neptune's death was hubris on my part and I take full blame for it. I thought he could take care of Sabrina's team while Fat Cat was underleveled. I had partially forgotten that Bite doesn't work so well because Gen 3 was before the Physical-Special Split, so Bite wasn't doing as much damage as I would've wanted. He almost got Alakazam, but sadly the magician evidentally boosted herself with Calm Mind a bit too much, as she managed to get off a crit and took him down.


All of them, along with Griffon, will be missed and will never be forgotten. From here, the story is done; I have no plans to do any of the postgame stuff, as far as I'm concerned the Pokemon League is where this story ends officially.


Will I do another Nuzlocke? Yes! I've already gotten started on a Ruby Nuzlocke and I'm having fun so far! That story may not be presented the same way as this one, however, and will likely not be uploaded for a very long time. I chose Ruby because...well, it was the game that started it all, really! The original Nuzlocke was a Ruby Nuzlocke, so I figured let's pay tribute to that and start a Ruby one!


All in all, I had fun with my first ever Nuzlocke, loved my team, and look forward to the next one in Ruby! Thank everyone who read the series, I really appreciate your support! Hopefully, I'll be able to upload the Ruby one, probably in comic form someday!


Until then, have a nice day everyone!


FINAL TALLIES:

> Final Team: Venusaur, Pidgeot (deceased), Poliwrath, Jynx, Nidoqueen, Snorlax

> Replacement Team Member for the fallen, if any: Dodrio

> Total Number of Pokemon Caught: 40

> Total Number of Deaths: 5
