Let's Nuzlocke Pokemon Emerald Part 7: Pedophiles, Gambling, and Thievery

Well hey guys, I'm not long overdue for one of these or anything right? Truth be told, I've actually been playing the game a lot, so I'm quite a bit ahead right now, which is part of the reason it took so long. That and to be honest, doing SSLP's like this is a lot more tedious than I thought. Video LP's are much quicker, surprisingly, to work with and a bit more hectic and fun.


Anyway, in the last part, we lost a good friend, Lassie, but got a new amazing friend, Barbados. So, its time to train him!






And soon he's caught up. Sludge just rocks, and Amnesia is a nice defense move that I have good plans for.



This is the Battle Tent of Slateport City. Basically, you have to make a three of three rental Pokemon (with 6 choices) and win three matches in a row. However, if you win, you may swap out one of your Pokemon with one of your opponent's, making a nice twist.









My choice and the team I picked. Let's go kick butt


O.o
No, but your caps lock does.




Intimidate...
I'm so taking Mightyena. Bye Wailmer.


Lowercase people. Ever heard of it?


And.. that's all we get? Really? A Full Heal?
Lame. Lame. Lame.


The Museum seems busy today.. OH HOLY CRAP ARE THOSE ALL AQUA GRUNTS?! Oh wait, they're all pushovers anyway.


Yes I think I can see that.


Uh.. or you could let me read it myself?


Well crap, I don't have a bike


Well crap, these guys are blocking my way. Guess I have to find a way to clear them out.


Waiting in line accomplishes nothing here, as this guy just won't shut up about his Game Boy Advance. You don't need to market it to us Nintendo. We're playing it right now.



Oh right.. we need to deliver the Devon Goods. Whoops. Let's do that.


Oh look.. suddenly the line is gone. That quickly.. hmmm..


Uh... I have to pay to rescue you guys from a gang of dangerous thieves. Okay then




Beat up a thug, get a TM. Neat. Don't really have much intention of teaching this yet.


Oh look. The thugs really are here to steal something. No way!



Taken down.



Archie shows up. Says some fanatical stuff. Then leaves. Uhhhh okay, not going to fight a kid to steal something you devoted an entire operation to try to steal? You're the leader!


Finally delivering the goods. Finally.



Scott comes. Eh. Don't care. We get his Pokenav number though. Yay?



We also get Birch's number for some random reason. Right..


Well gee. Surely there couldn't possibly be a rival battle coming up, right?


Thanks. I totally could not see that door in front of me without your help sign.


After some creepy voice says that I feel like i'm being watched, it turns out some creepy guy is hiding under a desk that's clearly a table.

Well crap, we wandered into Pedobear's house.


Nope, clearly Pedobear.


Oh goody, a Cut maze. Fun.



But no one can compare to your creepiness buddy.


Oh look, he's even giving out free candy to children.

I'm getting the hell out of here.


Yay.. I have no idea what to use this with.


So many of this combination here..


Oh look, its May. I totally didn't see this coming.


The team



Yep. Didn't see this coming from a mile away.

So, Lucy takes out Wingull pretty easily.


That being said, I think a switch is a good idea here..


Well crap. Critical hits suck. Switch again!

Ergo takes him out. However, Yawn strikes, so...


This could be trouble.. most of the team is weak right now. Except we have our new secret weapon!




Barbados >> Sceptile


Itemfinder get! Just in case the hidden items aren't obvious enough.


Uh huh. Riiiight.


Suddenly



Lucy evolves. Kick-ass.


Look at that Speed Stat. LOOK AT THAT SPEED STAT.

So clearly those two guys in the earlier image are guarding something.


Let's fight them!


... seriously? Uggggh.



Whirlwind gotten. Meh, could be nice vs. the rare trainer that uses buffing moves.



O.o
And you still want to battle?!


Huh, well this hidden item is actually good. Cool.




Some Fisherman spamming poison moves. However Rafael Absorb on Wailmer counters that nicely.


Finally make it to Mauville City!


First stop: ROCK SMASH DUDE!


Rock Smash Get? No way!



Next stop: Bike Shop. We get a bike that fast and stuff. For free. Sweet!


Hmmm, apparently we need a coin case for this.


This girl will trade one for mail. Cool! The mail is purchased in Slateport. Blargh! Backtracking goooo.


We can take the cycling route this time though :D


Random hidden trainer is randomly hidden. And pointless too.


Marshstomp laughs at all the magnemites the trainers have.


Advertising. You're doing it wrong.


Level 6? What? Why? That makes no sense game.


Coin Case acquired. And in the Pokemon World, that's all you need for..


Gambling! Yeaaaa. Even if you're a kid.


TM's! But so expensive. With gambling we can prevail. Let's try slots!



...Fail



The Roulette game goes a lot better. Jackpot!! Yess so many coins!


What... WHAT?!

Ugh screw this, I'm out of here.


Time for the gym.. but wait.. who is that familar character blocking the enterance? Why is he blocking it? What will happen?

Find out next time!

Dang that was long. I'll get another one up hopefully this week ^^
