It’s Tuesday which means it’s time for Crossroads Comics!

This week we’re taking a look at one of my favorite nuzlocke comics of all time, Children of the Sky. This is a nuzlocke that takes place in the Johto Region and follows Leon Silvus, known to his friend as Zephyr, who recently moved from the Sinnoh region. He has aspirations of becoming champion but after an incident with Team Rocket on his first day with his starter, Leon commits himself to the Johto traditions as a member of the sages at Sprout Tower instead. When the League eventually contacts him to join in the fight against Team Rocket, Leon defies them and flees instead. Thus, Leon is forced to embark on an adventure through the Johto region and must choose either life as a fugitive or challenge the league on his own terms.
This nuzlocke is very unique in that the main part of the story starts in Violet City, skipping much of the beginning portion such as the egg delivery fetch quest and early route catches. Instead, the nuzlocke kicks off with a lot of very carefully crafted worldbuilding that is readily introduced to the player through a video prologue and action sequences involving Leon’s escape. Leon is shown to be able to partially fuse with his Pokémon and utilize their abilities, a technique that is deeply integrated into the history of the world and will no doubt has further implications in the future of the story. This is one of the most unique stories I’ve seen to come out of a nuzlocke in ages and it has a very nice complimentary art style that makes the story a joy to read. The author, Feymark, puts a lot of effort into every update and it shows through the unique and interesting designs for each of the characters, both Pokémon and human, as well as the beautiful backgrounds and scenery. The comic has a few more regular updates coming over the next few weeks, so now is the perfect time to catch up with and enjoy this beautiful comic.
