My Reborn Journey Begins

Aevum · January 15, 2023

Hello! I am AevumNova and I'm a little bit of an Eevee fanatic. Ive made an Eeveelution mod and I have plans for a Partner Eevee mod as well. But I really wanted to experience the game without mods. I only briefly played this game way way back in the day and not far past the first gym and I can tell you that doesn't really matter for this playhtrough because I barely remember any of it and what I did remember had changed a lot.

So I was informed about the existence of codes and decided to implement a few quality of life ones:

nohms
hardcaps
weathermod
antidote
freeexpall
freeremotepc
earlyinc

Now I want to see the amazing shinies of the region and I want to do an eevee + eeveelution run. After being made aware that Eevium Z is in the game and is obtainted early then you normally get the megaz ring I decided to impliment mega z. And of course I took Eevee as a starter and mints to make things easier. I was told about an early ability capsule as well.

shinycharm
freemegaz
eevee
mintyfresh

Starting off, I appreciate that the game lets me not only choose non-binary, but lets me choose appearance and gender separately. I name my character Aevum, choose Non-Binary, and choose the androgynous body with a black coat and white hair.

I enter my codes to Ame and experience a heroic rescue from an apparent act of terrorism. I pick up the Shiny Charm and admire the city and urban decay aesthetic. Then I decide that to have Eevees as early as possible I needed a female Eevee, but I also wanted a shiny Eevee. So I reset, seeing 4 shiny male eevees before a female until I finally got one in about 4 hours. I named her Nova, she was Adamant with the Run Away ability.

I actually got poisoned and crit by Pretty Boy Cain and lost, but wiped the floor with Victoria's Litten. The first thing I did was go to the factory barrel to grab an ability capsule and turn Nova from Run Away to Adaptability.

I caught a Hoothoot and Spinnark in the grasses outside the center, then fought some trainers without issue. I was able to rescue a Pachirisu from some people abusing it and it joined my team for now. I enjoyed finding things, I found a doctor not half as creepy as ones Ive worked for, an old rod, an unpolluted pool, some alleyways, a hidden garden, a Joltik eating electricity, a hungry Whismur, a sick Kriketot, and a Skitty needing a berry (which I found with pickup).

I caught at this point:

Grimer (from fishing in the lake outside)
Goldeen (from the pool) This one had lightningrod so I added it to my team for the 1st gym
Eevee (my precious little angel)
Hoothoot (from the grass outside the center)
Spinnark (from the grass outside the center) I used it in my team
Sunkern (from the secret garden)
Whismur (from a room where it wanted my pokesnax)
Skitty (from giving it an oran berry)
Gulpin (from a dumpster)

Whismur (from a house) I used it in my team

Kriketot (from a kid who couldn't take care of it)
Kriketune (evolved Kriketot) I used it in my team
Pachirisu (rescued from bullies) I used it in my team until I got Joltik
Finneon (from the pool) This one is a shiny so I may use it after the electric gym until I can breed more Eevees
Trubbish (from an alleyway) I used it in my team
Joltik (eating power in a building) I used it in my team

I found Fern, who NGL is pretty annoying, and beat him in a battle. I decided to meet up with him outside the factory and team up with Flo and Juliana for taking out this factory. I didn't quiet remember the old factory but this one Im 100% sure Ive never seen. I enjoyed the puzzles and double battles, but at this point Nova was trying to evolve into Umbreon and I had stop her after every level up. During this time Nova learns swift and I decided to change their nature with a mint. I decided to go for Naive as their special defense is already decent and the speed will be helpful once we have the z-move. After meeting Ace and Fern at least respecting their pronouns, we battled our way through the factory and say lots of cryptic messages hinting towards human and pokemon experimenation from what I can see, and after being mocked and offered jobs with an employeer that offers more benefits then most where I live, we faced off against Aster and Eclipse and their Rockruffs with elemental coverage but it wasn't too hard.

After this I checked back in with the Doctor to see his supplies stolen, I chase down the thief to an alleyway and make him give them back. After that I got ready for the first gym leader, Juliana after doing a boom boom puzzle.

My pokemon were level 15-20 at this point and I brought the following for my team:

Trubbish (15) Serious Nature | Stench | Acid Spray, Poison Gas, Toxic Spikes, Recycle
Goldeen (16) Lonely Nature | Lightning Rod | Horn Attack, Supersonic, Water Pulse, Flail
Joltik (16) Rash Nature | Swarm | Absorb, Thunderwave, Fury Cutter, Electroweb
Whismur (17) Quiet Nature (lol) | Soundproof | Echoed Voice, Pound, Astonish, Supersonic
Kricketune (20) Hasty Nature | Swarm | Fury Cutter, Struggle Bug, Sing, Absorb
Nova (20) Naive Nature | Adaptability | Swift, Quick Attack, Bite, Refresh

This was a pretty simple fight. I set up 2 layers of toxic spikes with Trubbish, switched to Goldeeon to predict a Charge Beam. Used Whimsur to take care of the Voltorb and Electrode. Did some sweeping with Kricketune fury cutter and eventually finished off with Nova. I went 2-0 on my first attempt with Goldeen and Nova still standing.

I really enjoyed myself and look forward to my next post.

This didn't have as much detail as I would have liked because im in a sling rn, but I might be getting out of it tommorrow so heres for hoping!

The team so far:
