>>55746485>Does your oc have a favorite match, a battle they look back on really fondly?His last gold symbol: the fight vs Anabel. He defeated all the trainers up to 105 fights, and was ready to challenge the Saloon Maiden. It was a 1v3, where Swampert won without damages. Earthquake for Raikou, Blizzard for Latios (got frozen), and Focus Punch for Snorlax. The fight was very one sided.
He sometimes remembers that fight and giggles, a bit cocky about it, about how he toppled the best trainers in the world to their knees.
>>55748928Probably the moment he discovered the Ultima Evolution. He thought "I can Mega Evolve without a stone, so I can totally push it further without one as well."
Ultima Evolution works as Cross Fusion in MMBN: both the user and the Navi (in this case, Pokémon), fuse to become a powerful being. Problem here is that to use this, both Pokémon and trainer have to fuse their soul into one. And since David didn't have a Mega Stone, he pushed his mind already to focus and force the Mega evolution with his Swampert. Adding his soul crushed him, earning him a 1 year stay in the hospital in critical state.
After that incident, he went to Devon, got a Key Stone, and started using his Swampertite. While he can reach the Ultima Evolution, he can't properly use it yet. Maybe his Pokémon gets a 100 BST boost (while adding Mega Evolution, so that's 200 BST points), but he can't use it beyond 3 turns AND passing out, and all his attacks do not very effective damage, he basically only makes his Swampert more tanky.
Now that he uses the Key Stone, he can reach Ultima easily, but after he is done, he always stays on the ground for one or two hours (depending on how much he pushed himself), or he can stand up, but he doesn't stop shacking for the entire day.
