Alright, so get this, you already know I’m a former mafia boss, but I never told you why I quit and turned over a new leaf.
There was this kid who challenged me to get my badge and dismantle Team Rocket, yeah? He said something about becoming a champion. So, I challenged him with my underleveled Rhyhorn, who may or not have learned illegal moves it theoretically shouldn’t be able to use effectively. So, get this, all of his Pokémon were weak and underleveled, meaning he rarely won any fights with them! My single Pokémon one-shot all of his Pokémon, and just to assert my dominance a bit, I used Electro Ball on my slow as shit Rhyhorn to KO this kid’s Jolteon, who should’ve been able to absorb it! The kid got the useless HA one, and instead of getting a more sensible Eeveelution, he picked one of the bad ones!
I was smirking when he lifted his last Pokeball, but something magical happened. I didn’t notice it before, but now that I focused on it, I saw that he threw his Pokeballs just like I did, and when he threw that ball, out came a menacingly strong Charizard. Just the sight of that beautiful beast brought back memories, of my sweet Charmanderino from my childhood. This kid was literally me, back when I was still naïve, but happy and optimistic.
So, he managed to defeat me, and out of a newfound respect for a fellow Charmanderino aficionado, I kept my promise and dismantled Team Rocket. I hear the surviving members are still looking for me, but I don’t care about that anymore, all that matters to me now is treating Pokémon with respect and buying all Charmanderino merchandise I can buy.
