Pokemon Sapphire, My First Nuzlocke: Route 120 & 121

So with a new gym badge on hand, I began my adventure down route 120. While there wasn't too many trainers of issues, that one lady with a Milotic certainly gave me some trouble, I actually had to use a bunch of healing items to make sure no one died in that fight... if only I actually led the battle with Funghiness. But how was I suppose to remember that an ordinary trainer would have a Pokemon like that? Also no new wild Pokemon for a very long time because of how long route 120 was and how it got wasted on a Linone...

You know what I was just saying about route 120 being long? Well, apparently it wasn't as long as it looked. Especially if you're dodging all the trainers you can for the sake of your Pokemon's safety. But now that I'm in route 121 maybe I can catch something cool? What do you know? Next step I take after that I run into a wild Pokemon.... and its a Shuppet. I was able to weaken it with Zip'd and actually catch it. But what to call it? After much thinking and failing to come up with names that relate to dark cold or miserable cold feelings I decided just to call it sullen. After all, it is a negative feeling, which Shuppets feed off of. Into the PC for now Sullen, but it was still nice to catch you neverless, I may need you for the future.

Before I head off to use my free heal, I come across team Aqua, who are talking about doing things over at Mt. Pyre. So that's a place to check out in the future. Dodging the rest of the trainers on this route for now, I finally made it to Lilycove City. With a free heal for reaching the town and a free heal for catching a Pokemon, plus potions being cheap to me at this point of the game and having the ability to fly to a town that sells them if I run out of them for my Potion for Pkm Center rule, I think I can go back and battle all the trainers I avoided before without worry.
