This is the seventh episode of Platinum: Zach's Nuzlocke.
Plot[]
Zach is walking out of the Galactic Building, when a blond-haired woman approaches him, dressed in black.
???: Hello young man. Are you a trainer?
Zach: Uh... Yeah. Why?
???: My name is Cynthia. I want you to take care of this Pokemon Egg.
Zach: Alright, my name is Zach. I'd be glad to take care of that Pokemon Egg.
Cynthia: Thank you. And give my regards to Professor Rowan.
Cynthia hands him a white egg with green spots, and walks away.
Pluckerz: Well... Now you've got a Pokemon Egg. Whatcha gonna do now?
Zach: Now... I'M GONNA HATCH IT.
One Hour Later
Pluckerz: How's it going Zach?
Zach is heavily panting on a bike, going up and down the streets.
Zach: Pretty.... Well....
The egg suddenly glows, and a Pokemon pops out.
Zach: YES! MY EGG HATCHED INTO... Another egg...?
???: Tog, Toge!
Pluckerz: It's a Togepi!
Zach: ...I'll name him Benny.
Pluckerz: Hey, just so you know, the only way to get to the next area is to either go a super long way around, or go down Cycling Road.
Zach: ..........................
Pluckerz: Well?
Zach: Get in your Pokeball.
Zach returns Pluckerz, then pedals towards Cycling Road, and sees a bunch of Cyclists staring at him.
Cyclists: BATTTLLEEEEE...
Zach: DANG IT!
Two Hours Later
Zach is now running out of a cave entrance, his face terrified.
Zach: STAY AWAY, TOO MANY GEODUUUUDE!
Pluckerz: Oh my Arceus, I have NEVER seen that many Geodude at once.
Zach: At least we got a Bronzor from there. And a Machop from Route 206.
Pluckerz: Yeah, that's always good. Now uh... Let's go to that Old Chateau and catch a Pokemon.
Zach: Alright...
Pluckerz: And the fastest way to get there would be to 'pedal to the metal.'
Zach: I GET IT!
Zach stuffs Pluckerz into his Pokeball, then hops on his bike, and goes all the way back up to the Old Chateau, then kicks down a tree, and walks inside.
Pluckerz: Heeeeey... This place is abandoned!
Zach: I don't see anything in here. Bet there's some good old fashioned toasters in some of the rooms.
Pluckerz: Oh, you know how I like my toast!
Zach and Pluckerz begin ransacking the place, and still find no Pokemon. They walk upstairs, and see a TV with a radiating aura.
Pluckerz: Y-You know... I don't really like the FEEL of this place.
Zach: Neither-
A pulse of electricity flies out of the TV, and shocks them both, then the pulse takes form as a Rotom.
Rotom: HAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THE LOOK ON YOUR FACES!
Zach: What are YOU?
Rotom: My name is Rotom, and I am debatably a low-tier Legendary Pokemon!
Zach: Oh snap.
Pluckerz: Low-tier, eh? HOW low-tier?
Rotom: Oh, you know, a base stat total of like 440.
Pluckerz: Yeah, that's pretty low for a legendary.
Rotom: I DON'T CARE, I WILL OBLITERATE YOU BOTH FOR ENTERING MY DOMAIN!
Zach: Pluckerz, Bubblebeam.
Rotom: OH PLEASE NO!
Pluckerz unleashes a fury of bubbles onto Rotom, and then Zach catches it with a Pokeball.
Zach: DEBATABLE LOW-TIER LEGENDARY, CAUGHT!
Pluckerz: Let's go to the Pokemon Center.
Zach and Pluckerz walk to the Pokemon Center in Eterna City, and Zach's ears prick up as he hears an old guy talking.
Old Guy: ...So, I'm giving away a free explorer's kit to any youngster who wants it. They can go underground and dig for Fossils and st-
Zach runs over, grabs the kit, and instantly goes underground.
Zach: AW YEAAAAAAAAAAH!
Zach then realizes that the ratio of fossils appearing is extremely low.
Zach: AW FUUUUUUUUUDGE!
Thirty Minutes Later
Zach: A FOSSIL! Just one little piece of rock here and-
Voice: THE WALL COLLAPSES!
Zach: Wait what?
The entire wall collapses and the fossil is buried completely.
Zach: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
One Hour Later
Zach finally digs up a Fossil, and goes to the surface, then just slides down Cycling Road, and crawls into the Oreburg museum, covered in dust.
Assistant: Er... Sir, are you alright?
Zach: FOSSIL. REVIVE. NOW.
Assistant: Er... Alright.
The Assistant takes the Fossil, and walks behind the desk, then walks back with a Pokeball.
Assistant: Here's your brand new, super healthy... SHIELDON!
Zach: Guacamole.
Assistant: Huh?
Zach: That's his name.
Assistant: Whatever.
The Assistant walks out, while Zach crawls back into the Pokemon Center, and adjusts his team, then sleeps.
Next Day
Zach is walking out of Mt. Coronet, a teleporting Poke Ball in his hand.
Zach: NOSEPASS, CAPTURED.
Starita: Zach, are you gonna be grinding soon?
Zach: Yup. Just gotta capture that Budew up-
Starita flies to it, picks it up, and drops it in a Pokeball.
Zach: ...Okay, looks like it's time for... GRINDIIIIIIIING!
Three Hours Later
Zach is standing back from his team, evaluating them.
Zach: All of you are at least level 25, that's good. And Benny, welcome OFFICIALLY to the team. As a Togetic, too. And Bruce, congrats on evolving again, at level 27. And Max, welcome to the team. Oh yeah, welcome to the team Mike.
Bruce: Thanks, my bud.
Benny: I-I'll try to do my best.
Max: I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO DESTROY THE OPPONENTS!
Mike: I have a feeling I won't be quite as useful.
Zach: Next... We enter Hearthome.
Pluckerz: But what if we're exiled because of our power?!
Zach: Then... WE GO ALL CHAMPION ON DEM!
They all walk into Hearthome, and stride through the town, and then stop in front of the gym.
Zach: Everybody healed up and ready?
Pokemon: YEAAAAAAAAAAAH!
