>>36339494So I didn't expect anything eventful to happen in this short stretch of the game, only two encounters to get before the next badge. Knowing my luck they'll both be underwhelming, but hey, maybe something nice will happen. WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYTHING NICE EVER HAPPEN?! Mirage Tower saw me with my naive optimism and that Master Ball burning a hole in my pocket just begging the game to throw a legendary and me, and was like, "Hold my beer..."
First encounter in Mirage Tower is TroubleDog the Granbull, and EVERYTHING ELSE IN THIS TOWER IS FUCKING LEGENDARY. Lions and tigers and birds, oh my. We got two thirds of the gerbil trio, the fried chicken that raised them from the dead, and also a cold turkey for good measure. Oh look, Jirachi's here too, let's make a wish. I wish for this Root Fossil to be a Jirachi. Nope, just MermaidMan the Milotic. On to the Gym.
Norman's first mon was Chikorita, which Danger Dog made quick work of with thanks to the Flamethrower TM I got from the desert. Tentacruel was a bit more stubborn, Kadabra was a cakewalk, and of course, because the game wasn't done dicking me over yet, his fucking ace is little baby Nuzlocke Killer himself. With the Nuzlocke Killers being 0 for 4 this game I calmy clicked Bite and IT LIVED OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK... oh it flinched. Crisis narrowly averted. As mockery for escaping Wynaut's death trap unscathed for the fourth time this game, I got the TM for Spit Up. The salt is real. Speaking of salt, it's Surfing time baby.
