Long ago, during the height of popularity, two brothers got the same game. One brother got red, the other blue. Though there were rivals within the game, nothing compared to the genuine rivalry between the two brothers.
The brother with red, however, often had less to do after school. Choosing red due to his love of fire types, his team would've been weak against water, if the brother with blue had picked a less-balanced team.
In the end, Blue constantly lost to Red. His team shifted, he trained them hard, but his brother bested his team time and time again.
The two brothers soon defeated the elite four and their false rivals, but there could only be one champion. Past victories aside, this final battle would decide the true champion of Kanto.
Blue had been training, but his team was falling. It seemed history would soon repeat itself, even his blastoise fell to a lucky critical. All that remained on his team was a somewhat underleveled vaporeon, against his brother's final pokemon, a charizard. Weaknesses aside, there was too much of a level gap. His brother was going to one-shot his final pokemon.
But it was not to be. While charizard got the first hit in, his attack missed. Could he really do enough damage? It was his only shot. Hydro pump was used...a critical hit. Super effective. His brother retaliated, but missed again. Water gun finished his charizard off and Blue's first win was the biggest ever. His brother dethroned and him now self-proclaimed champion, he had only his vaporeon to thank, along with copious amounts of luck.
...Since then, iv'e had a vaporeon in my team whenever possible. For luck.
