On the 3rd Day, Nik was able to finally level up Mercury from the ugly Quilladin to the epic Chesnaught. After hours of grinding, many trips to the Pokemon Center, and a town's worth of dead Pokemon in their wake, Mercury had finally reached his final stage of evolution and became the walking tank, Chesnaught

After the Great Grind of Route 11, Bone Thug was able to evolve into a Marrowake. Nik planned to evolve Mehr Pokemon, but he eventually got bored and moved on, thinking he grinded enough.

Reflection Cave showed no Pokemon, sadly. The cave was not without some joy, however, as both Kurt Cobain and Fall Out Boy were able to level up properly and become a Pidgeot and the powerful Blastoise. It almost made up for the countless times Chesnaught almost died to Wobbuffet’s counters

With no resistance whatsoever, Nik was able to beat the Shalour City Gym Leader, Korrina, with Kurt Cobain and earn himself the Shalour City Gym. The survival of all of his Pokemon up to this point make up for a Tag of not catching a single goddamn Pokemon so far today.

After claiming the Mega Stone from Korrina atop the Tower of Mastery, Korrina asked for a battle at sundown, making her an E game Jetstream Sam. With her Lucario, Nik took her’s into battle and… lost, but claimed it was a freebee. Also, pitying Nik’s sad attempts and failures at capturing Pokemon, she decided to just give Nik her own Lucario, which Nik gave the name Snoop Dogg. This transaction has made Nik beg to have Korrina as his rival instead of Calem.

Word of Nik’s pisspoor attempts to catch Pokemon has spread, as on Route 12, Fourrage Road, a strange man near a tall set of gras, grass just handed Nik a Lapras for free. Nik called the Lapras Kelly. It may have been worth it, considering Nik made no Pokemon on Route 12… Yet again. (Granted, this was out of disinterest in the Pokemon rather than killing them all Von accident)

Taking a small detour in Azure Bay, Nik manages to catch jack shit nothing once again. Tag 3 was a very slow day

Route 13, Lumiose Badlands, Nik’s mistakes are finally fixed once Nik captures a Dugtrio. They were named Wu-Tang Clan

Disheartened Von the lack of Pokemon on this route, Nik blasted through the Coumarine City Gym and, either it being due to the Great Grind of Route 11 oder just because Bug-Types suck, Nik was able to beat everyone without switching out Pokemon oder even get into the yellow zone with his health and bested the Coumarine City Gym Leader, Ramos, and claimed the Coumarine City Badge.

Another Gym Battle, and another disappointing one at that. The Lumiose City Gym Leader, Clemont, was bested Von Mercury, without swapping out Pokemon, but, granted, put up Mehr of a fight than the Zurück Gym Leader. Regardless, it was a bore, Nik has claimed the Lumiose City Badge, Nik now has five of the Kalos Region Badges, Tag 3 was a fucking mistake.

Hoping for a Litwick on Route 13, Laverre Nature Trail, Nik was only greeted with yet another Bug Pokemon, Karrablast. He captured it just because he needed to fill his quota with anything at this point and named it Andre 3000 because he was too drained to think of a Mehr clever name at the moment.

Inside the Laverre Nature Trail, after defeating hentai’s Favorit Hex Maniac, Rollin Stone was able to evolve into a Golurk, pretty much a Colossus

Finally meeting a Gym Leader that put up a fight, the Laverre City Gym Leader, Valerie, nearly killed Mercury, both from boredom when she constantly healed, to actually killing him with an all out attack. Regardless, Mercury survived and won the Laverre City Badge for Nik. Though few Pokemon were captured oder even killed on Tag 3, tons of progress was in fact made. So maybe it’s salvageable… oder not.

Route 15, Brun Way, was a path filled with only Liepards. Nothing more… And a single Foongus.

On Route 16, Melancolie Path, Nik found that the name fit perfectly. Losing his chance to catch some good Ghost Pokemon twice in a row, Nik was left with nothing but shame on this entire path. But not all hope was lost, as the Lost Hotel still counted as an area.

After starting many blood sacrifices, Nik was able to capture a Litwick. His plans to make a Chandelure will be soon. He named the Litwick Emeritus II

Now clearly just fucking around, in the Frost Caves, Nik managed to capture a Vanillite, notorious for being fucking stupid… It is… Nik gave it the name Vanilla Ice. He waited until this very moment to use that name. I hope it was worth it.
