R;LOCKE

R is a shut-in, hapless trainer with no long-term goals. He has an uncanny ability to speak and communicate with Pokémon, and yet, he despises them. However, his love for Pokémon has yet to be revived, as he endures a perilous journey with his partner, Leeb the charmander. There are secrets to unfold, and friends to be lost, and the sinister plot that Team Rocket is planning has the chance of altering the human and Pokémon relationship permanently. Follows vanilla FireRed fairly closely, but with surprise plot elements. This story follows my Nuzlocke play through and is almost a 1:1 retelling but not identical, and altered for story purposes.
