[Text Only] Let’s Play: Pokémon Platinum [Nuzlocke Challenge] – Part 21


           After a bit of training on Route 222 I get all my Pokémon to Lv. 52. I then decide to enter the gates of Sunyshore City. After entering, I run into a man named Flint who is actually a member of the Elite Four who resides at the Pokémon League. He tells me about the gym leader of this town who is so good that he hasn’t had an exciting battle in so long that he’s considering abandoning the title of Gym Leader. He sends me off to the Sunyshore Lighthouse where the gym leader is relaxing. Well, time to go see if I can give him that battle he’s been craving.

            After taking a tour of the two, I make my way to the Lighthouse. I find the gym leader there just as Flint said. His name is Volkner and he is the Electric type gym leader of Sunyshore, the last one I need to defeat. I convince him to try one last battle to see if he gets his love of Pokémon battling back. He agrees and goes off to meet me at the gym. I head to the gym where Flint is waiting for me. He tells me to give it my all in the next battle and that he’ll see me at the Pokémon League.

               After defeating the trainers of the gym, it’s now time to fight Volkner. Truth be told, I’m quite worried about this battle. I almost lost Lucario and a few others in the trainer fights due to low Sp. Defense so I’m wondering how my team will do. So, the battle with Sinnoh’s top gym leader begins!

            He sends out his Jolteon a Lv. 46 Electric type and I send in Umbreon (Hooray for Eeveelution battle!). Jolteon is faster as to be expected and gets a Sp. Attack boost from Charge Beam and I use Dig and take out half its HP. Jolteon uses Charge Beam again and gets another Sp. Attack Boost. Lucky for me, my next Dig attack defeats it. Here comes his next Pokemon; Raichu a Lv. 46 Electric type. I know he has Signal Beam, a bug type move; so I decide to get Umbreon out of there and send in Giratina. Raichu goes for Focus Blast (completely forgot he had that…. good thing I got Umbreon out of there…) but it does nothing to a Ghost type like Giratina. I use Shadow Force and defeat the Raichu. However, it’s Static ability paralyzes me so that’s not nice. His next Pokemon Luxray (I miss Sparkrai…) is a Lv. 48 Electric type. He has the moves Fire, Ice, Thunder Fangs and Crunch. Since Lucario has nice defense I send him out. I use Aura Sphere to start out but he uses a super effective Fire Fang. I live it just fine though and defeat him with ExtremeSpeed. His final Pokemon is his Lv. 50 Electric type (no duh..) Electivire. I send in Umbreon and his high defenses to deal with this. Umbreon takes Fire Fang just fine. I heal up just to be safe and he uses ThunderPunch. He uses another ThunderPunch and I use Dig. Dig, being super effective, takes him down to half of his HP. After another ThunderPunch I use Assurance to weaken it a bit more but it’s Sitrus Berry activates and heals up 30 HP. To be safe, I use some healing of my own. After a few more ThunderPunches, I use Assurance and almost take him out. He paralyzes me but thanks to my ability he gets some of his own medience. I heal up yet again and he uses Giga Impact, a very powerful move! I live just fine but he is unable to move for a turn while he recharges. This is my chance to finish this! Umbreon, use Assurance! Just like that it goes down, and to a critical hit as well. Volkner goes down but he gets his love of battling back after our intense match. I get the Beacon Badge along with the TM for Charge Beam and head out of the city with my sight set to the north. Pokemon Leauge, here I come!
