Pokemon Diamond; Nuzlocke Adventures Episode 2 A fire monkey appeared before me, claws bared. I commanded it to scratch the bird. The bird then growled ferociously. The firechimp scratched the bird again, a critical hit this time. The bird fell to the ground; dead... I looked over to Gingie, his opponent had fallen too. Suddenly Lucas returned and retrieved the briefcase. He was startled when we told him that we had used the Pokemon. We followed him back to the clearing outside our house when we found the professor again. Strangely enough he let us keep our Pokemon, but he told us to visit him in his home in Sandgem. I had to tell my mother first though... When I got home she actually wasn't mad. I think she was happy that I finally became a trainer like her. Me, Pearl, a trainer...it's all finally sunk in now... But I must continue my journey! Onward and upward to Sandgem town! Upon reaching Sandgem town, I came across Lucas who was waiting by the door of the lab. Suddenly Gingie burst through the door and ran to the closest patch of grass in a frantic search to find more Pokemon. "We'll, he's a hyper one..." Muttered Lucas, "we'll Pearl, do you want to come inside?" I followed him inside to find the professor waiting. He examined the monkey. "We'll Pearl, it seems that your chimchar is rather happy. Would you like to give it a nickname?" He asked. "Yeah!!!" I cheered. And that is how I, Pearl the Pokemon trainer, and Amigo the monkey who's on fire, began their epic journey together...
