>>38025765I die again as my Fraxure cuts the iron bars, my Crobat tanks a Fire Fang and poisons the Snubbull with extreme prejudice, my Kingdra destroys the door with Dragon Rage, only for my Vileplume to be defenseless against the Beedrill. I try again. Sixth times the charm.
> 1, Part VI. SewaddleWe escape using Razor Wind, which cuts through the bars with some difficulty, but they're able to be broken off afterwards.
> 2, VI. HorseaHorsea tanks the Fire Fang unscathed and blasts a hole through the Snubbull's head courtesy of a Hydro Pump. I'd lie if I said I didn't enjoy it, just as the Snubbull has killed me many times.
> 3, VI. PoliwhirlMy powerful fighting frog punches the door off its hinges with a strong brick break, the metal bar warped as a result of its impact. It will one day grow into a promising Poliwrath, but they day is not today. I trudge on.
> 4, VI. Whiscash The moment of truth. Where I had died so many times before after coming so close. I summon Whiscash with a gulp and feel my heart drop until it summons a Rock Slide against the insects, splattering them against the walls, it's dopey expression never changing.
> 5. Glalie The Houndoom smiles prematurely predicting my demise as I fly towards the water after summoning an Ice type of all things. The Glalie, unfettered, uses Freeze-Dry, and I land hard enough on the ice to bring me out of my daze as the Houndoom incinerates my Glalie. It dies a warrior's death. I'll make sure the Houndoom doesn't.
> 6. ZubatWith my last Pokéball, I summon the bane of trainers everywhere, the Zubat. The creature absorbs the smog valiantly with its body unaffected and sends it back with a Gust, before flying away indifferent, the Houndoom left lying defeated on the floor. I bash in its head with a rock and leave. RIP Glalie.
