King Sombra. Ruler of the Crystal Empire, a merciless and powerful tyrant.

...Defeated by a dragon infant and a stallion crazy enough to throw his wife off a balcony.

Now that's a blow to the ego.

"But," Sombra mused just moments before his explosive demise, "at least this is the most demeaning thing that will ever happen to me."

"...Did somepony say, demeaning?" echoed a certain statue of a certain Spirit of Chaos.

An MLP/Pokemon crossover based on my own Nuzlocke run of Pokemon Emerald Version. Update frequency will be determined by the playthrough.

The rules I have set for myself are as follows:

1. All pokemon must be given nicknames.

2. If a pokemon faints, it is considered "dead" and moved to a "memorial" box in the PC. It cannot be used for the rest of the playthrough.

3. I can only catch the first pokemon I encounter in an area. No others. If I fail to catch it, I don't get a retry. Shiny Pokemon are the exception.

4. I cannot catch pokemon of the same evolution tree as one already in my possession. For example, if I catch a Wurmple and it evolves into a Silcoon, I cannot then catch a Cascoon later, as they are both of the same evolution tree.

5. The "Dupes Clause" is in effect, meaning if I enter a new area and encounter a pokemon I have already caught this playthrough, I cannot catch it, regardless of whether or not the original is still "alive". This "duplicate" pokemon is treated as though it were from a previous area, and I am free to catch the next pokemon I encounter that doesn't violate Rule 4. A limit on the number of times I may "Re-Try" has yet to be determined.

6. The use of Legendary Pokemon is most likely barred, but I may change my mind later for the purpose of the story.
