>Me and best friend start together at the same time, I choose squirtle, he chooses charmander.
>We go through gyms together, trade, build up quite the team, Everyone takes their gameboys to school to battle, we're some of the best.
>We fall out over some silly tiff (you know what kids are like, but at the time this was serious shit) Don't talk for a few weeks (seemed like months lol)
>Decide to settle it with a pokemon battle (I know, serious fucking shit now) Kids crowd around, we link up with the little cable you used to use.
>It's pretty even, I knock out his golem, he KO's my pidgeot.. Back and forth, back and forth. We know each others teams like the back of our hands
> He sends out something new, A sandlash called TJ (my name, and my favorite pokemon at the time, though i dare not use it as it sucked)
>Dem feels
>He says nothing, I KO it regardless, but start to feel really shitty about the whole thing. I'm down to blastoise, he sends out charizard.
>Got this in the bag.
>he looks nervous, he never wins anything, his 'new' friends he made are egging him on, but they're the superficial type. they won't like him if he looses.
>Blastoise used rest..
>Whaaaaat?! he didn't use a water move?
>Charizard KO's me after two turns.
>They cheer for him, he's happy, but looks at me, he knows i threw it on purpose. Approaches me after school, we become buds again and still are at age 23. We still laugh over it.
