>>20982736>Got a few strong pokes. Nothing that'll beat the E4, but I think I could take on the local gym.>Want to test first so I go out and find a trainer.>Find one. Looks tough.>Trainer has five badges already. Gonna be tough, but with luck I could win.>What'sgoingon.jpg when he only has four pokes.>Decide to ignore it and challenge to a match.>Notice there's something off about his pokemon. They aren't different, shiny, or mutated. They're afraid. Really, really afraid.>What'sgoingon.jpg>Match starts. Gotta get my head in the game.>Trainer is beating me soundly. He's being super careful. Kind of a sissy with potions, but careful none the less. Still wondering why his pokes are so afraid.>Match continues and I'm down to my last mon, he hasn't lost one.>I know I'm going to lose, whatever, it happens. But I don't want a shut out.>Only chance is to go for broke and use an OHKO.>It hits! Know I'll be called cheap, but better than losing that bad.>Opponent is freaking out. Not like 'spoiled brat has to be perfect' freaking out. Like 'you just ran over my mother' freaking out.>What'sgoingon.jpg>Opponent sends out another mon. Crying and cradling the fainted one. New mon defeats my last one and I nervously try to say "Good match" and shake hands.>Trainer slaps my hand away and glares daggers at me. Shouts, "You killed my pokemon!">What'sgoingon.jpg>Try to talk sense into the trainer. Saying that the poke is just KO'd and pointing to the pokemon center, which is still in sight of where I am.>I can see all the trainer's other pokes trembling. You can feel their fear and the terror from the fainted pokemon, barely twitching... you could taste it.>I shout "Look! Look! Right over there! The pokemon center is right there! Your pokemon will be fine.">MFW the trainer stands up, pulls out a knife, and says, "No. These are the rules."What is wrong with these people?
