Journalocke: Pokemon Alpha Sapphire Wedlocke

Sophie-Lou's Pokemon Alpha Sapphire Wedlocke *UPDATE*

For the rules I am using for this particular Wedlocke, click below:

Journalocke: Pokemon Alpha Sapphire WedlockeIt has been ages since I did a proper Nuzlocke-style playthrough of a game. In fact I think the last time I did one was well over a year ago. I had initially hoped to do a Nuzlocke or maybe even a Wonderlocke of Pokemon Y when it first came out but I just wasn't feeling it. It was a brand new generation with new Pokemon that I wanted to try out. Every Nuzlocke I tried to begin I found myself being stuck with Pokemon I had already used or weren't new generation, which makes me feel like I was missing out.
Then came along the remakes of one of my favourite Pokemon games, Ruby and Sapphire. It was then I vowed that I would do a normal playthrough with one and Nuzlocke the other.
Interesting fact: Pokemon Sapphire was the very first Nuzlocke I ever did. It was about a year or so before I decided to do my recorded run of Pokemon Black, which has become my project Scarlett's Run (Comic turned Written Fiction storylocke) where I had just heard about the Nuzl

~ ADDITIONAL NOTES

We defeated Brawley with relative ease. I led with Miriel and Ricken, starting with the former and switching for the latter after we took out Machop. No close calls although I got a little nervous when Machop landed a Crit on Miriel just before she Confused it to death.

Mr. Briney took us over to Slateport City where I more or less immediately headed over to Route 110 for my encounter. The PokeNav indicated a Plusle and I thought, "Wynatt?" So we caught Kellam. This has actually made grinding without the EXP. Share fairly easy as by fighting Plusle I have been getting in 200+ exp per battle, which has allowed Cherche and Kellam to catch up considerably.

I have just fought off Team Aqua at the museum and will not proceed back towards Route 110 to fight some trainers and prepare for my rematch with Brendan. Slightly frustrating as I can't remember what Pokemon he has so I can't think which pair would be best to lead with. I'm thinking Miriel and Ricken if just because the former is so bulky. I suppose I could use Robin and Sully, but ultimately the fight would mainly be on Sully's shoulders... and I don't think she's "there" to be relied on yet as her movepool is much more sparse than the others.

My biggest threat is going to be his Marshtomp as I don't have any Grass-type Pokemon or moves.
