The Fall- Chapter 20

Previous Chapter> | Table of Contents | Next Chapter

The Fall is 41 chapters long, counting the prologue and epilogue... This is the exact middle chapter... ... :3 Fun stuff ahead, my friends!

Cue Commentary:
- Okay, but seriously, Lucie was 300 exp from evolving before she pulled a Julia and McFlipping kicked the bucket on me thanks to a Critical Hit Wing Attack from Bad Samaritan Pidgey II.
... And then 2 minutes later, that glorious moment happened.
- Joooooooooooooohn, You should have brought Sam with you. ;w;
- Also, I can't really take credit for the ideas about "shiny" vs normal pokemon. I've seem some theories about it on Tumblr that I really liked so I borrowed them.
- And Arnold is still a big sweetheart. I hope this kinda explains why they're loyal to Leaf... but not necessarily each other. And that's a problem- that's why they keep dying. Because they aren't looking out for each other. Leaf has 6-8 pokemon at a time working separately to protect her, instead of collectively.
- And yes, Liam got very close to a near death experience while I was challenging trainers at Koga's gym. He used Thrash and got confused and actually hurt himself several times- which was unusual for him because normally, if he didn't take out the pokemon anyway, he never EVER hurt himself in confusion. :T
I used this moment to talk about his age compared to the others. :3
Garrett is the oldest at somewhere around a millions years. Penny is the youngest (2 weeks or so) and Arnold is the second youngest at about 1 year.
- I drew almost all of Leaf's pokemon in one chapter... ... It sucked. I'm not doing it again.

VERY IMPORTANT:
A nuzlocke group is doing an awards thing. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE submit your nominations for your favorite Nuzlockers! A lot people watch this group and this is a good chance to give your favorite Nuzlocke the attention it deserves! :3 You don't have to fill it out completely, every vote helps. Nuzlocke-Challenge Awards time!!!So, I've been teasing at it for a while, and now I think it's time to officially open our first awards events!  Get excited people!  It's time to recognize the best of what our community has to offer. =-)
***DISCLAIMER: this awards event is not tied in to the Year-End Extravaganzas held by the official Nuzlocke forums in any way!  Different organizers, and different pools of members, as we know many people here on dA are not on the official forums.  We've also specifically tried to highlight different kinds of awards to distance ourselves from the Extravaganzas - that's why there are less skill-based awards here and more community-oriented awards - and why we're doing this in summer instead of winter.  We're not trying to compete with the forums at all.  They'd crush us anyway. X-D***
For a quick summary of how this will work: we'll have about a month of open nominations first, where everyone in the group can nominate whoever they want for an

ALSO, goodbye needlessly kind world, I am slain by very good people and their wonderful art~ ;w; Thank you all for the happy birthday wishes~
