There comes a time when you're backed into a corner and only a miracle can save you. When your best just isn't good enough, your power triples and then grows exponentially. Battling on the S.S. Anne was Karrie's moment.
Red: Come on Karrie! You've fought countless enemies by yourself before!
Karrie: Karp kar karp! (I fought WEEDLES and CATERPIES master! This is a MACHOP you want me to fight!
Red: You're the only one with full HP! Everyone else will drop if they get hit even once!
Machop used Karate Chop! Critical hit!
Karrie: Karrr! (Ouch! Master! I can't do this!)
Red: Maybe this will help! Take it!
Red used Rare Candy! Karrie grew to level 20!
Karrie: Karp kar... (I feel... Different... Like a great surge of strength I never felt before is coming... I say, this must be evolution!)
What!? Karrie is evolving!
Red: ... Are you guys seeing this?
Draco: Char... (Nope... I think Karrie just redeemed herself...)
Karrie evolved into Gyarados!
Karrie: GYARAAAHH! (My word! This is wonderful! Watch as I deal with this rubbish!)
Karrie used bite! Critical hit! Machop fainted!
Red: Karrie, I've never been so proud of you before now... All that hard work and training and now look at you... You made us all proud... *wipes a tear of joy*
It wasn't until we made it through all of the trainers on the cruise ship when we ran into a familiar face...
Blue: Bonjour Red!
Red: Cut the frenchie bullsh** Blue. We both know you want a battle. So lets get this done and over with.
Blue: Oh you're no fun... Go Pidgeotto!
Red: Go Draco!
Draco: Char! (Remember me? You almost got caught by my master before that jerk caught you!)
Pidgeotto: Pidg pidg! (OH, that was YOU!? Prepare for a thrashing!)
Pidgeotto used quick attack! Draco used ember! Pidgeotto was burned! Pidgeotto used gust! Draco used ember! Critical hit! Pidgeotto was hurt by burn! Pidgeotto fainted!
Draco: Char? (Is he gonna learn his lesson yet?)
Blue: Grrr... Go Raticate!
Red: Its your time to shine Jor! Its a nice fat rat for you to munch on!
Jormagundr: Kans! (I shall devour him in a single bite!)
Raticate: RATI! (I don't think so, boyo!)
Raticate used Hyper fang! critical hit!
Jormagundr: Kans! (Argh! Master, he's too strong!)
Red: I can only patch you up for so long! Just hold in there! Just don't die on me!
Red used super potion! Raticate used hyper fang! Critical hit!
Jormagundr: kans... (master... I don't think I'll make it... Go on without me!)
Raticate: RATICATE! (Who's going to be devouring who now?)
Spike: Nido nid nid! (Come on ya crazy mafah! Get up on your feet! You can take him down! If you can't, you shouldn't have been on our team!)
Jormagundr: Kans... KAAANNNSSS! (Spike... If I get through this... I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR THAT!)
Red used super potion! What!? Jormagundr is evolving!
Red: Spike!? What did you do!?
Spike: Nido... (I gave the mafah the motivational push he needed to survive this)
Jormagundr evolved into Arbok!
Jormagundr: ARBOK AR! (Now what was that you were saying about who was going to devour who!?)
Raticate: Cate... (Oh s***...)
Jormagundr used bite! Critical hit! Raticate fainted! Jormagundr used swallow!
Red: Wait! Hold up! That's not even in this generation!
Blue: Spit out my Raticate right now you piece of s***! He's MY slave! Not your lunch!
Jormagundr used swallow! Critical hit! Raticate died!
Red: ... Oh dear god... I'm so sorry...
Blue: ... Kadabra... Kill...
Kadabra: Kadab! (You guys were losers before, but now its personal!)
Kadabra used disable... On Red!
Red: Argh! Karrie! Get him!
Blue: That useless piece of garbage fish can't save you no-
Karrie: GYARRRAAA! (You called master?)
Kadabra: *drops spoon* Dabra... (What on earth...)
Karrie used bite! Kadrabra fainted!
Wartortle: Wartortle! (I got this, I'll make 'em pay for Raticate!)
Red: Spike! Get him!
Spike: Nido nid! (Mafah deserved what was coming to him, b*** a*** turtle mafah!)
Wartortle used bite! Spike used horn attack! The two pokemon are locked in a pushing match!
Wartortle: *muffled* War... Tor... Tle... (You can't stop me with that horn of yours. I still got appendages open and you're still on all fours holding me back...)
Wartortle broke free! Wartortle used water gun! Critical hit!
Red: Spike! Hold on tight! Take thi- wait! Thats not a potion!
Red threw moon stone!
Spike: Nido nidorino! (No, but that is EXACTLY what I wanted!)
What!? Spike is evolving!
Red: Spike!?
Wartortle: Tortle! (Evolving or not, you're still dead!)
Wartortle used bite!
Spike used mega punch!
Wartortle: Tortle!? (WHAT!? HOW?)
Spike evolved into Nidoking!
Spike: Nidoking! (What was that, turtle mafah? You got appendages open? Now SO DO I!)
Spike used mega punch! Wartortle fainted!
Red: I... I don't even know what to say...
Blue: You'll pay for this Red! I swear it!
Party size increased to 5! Huzzah!
We left the ship and watched it set sail after the cut master gave us cut... After vomiting all over my shoes... We healed up and went into diglett cave and boy were we in for a shocker...
Red: There's a lot of holes in the walls and floor. I wonder how many diglett live her-
Dugtrio: Dug! (Who dares enter the lair of my spawn!?)
Red: Oh dear god... Is that level 31!? Uhh... Karrie? Can you handle this while I hope to god it doesn't kill us?
Karrie: Gyara! (I'm on it!)
Karrie used bite! Dugtrio used scratch! Karrie used bite! Dugtrio used dig! But it failed! Karrie used bite! Red threw a pokeball!
Red: its our only chance Karrie! If it breaks open, I don't think you'll make it!
Dugtrio was caught!
Red: ... Oh dear lord... What on earth have we stumbled upon... I'm gonna call him Duke, because he was a kind of ruler of these Diglett, right?
And then we headed towards the third gym, where lightning danced amongst the electric trainers...
(OOC: I swear to god, I shat myself fighting that Dugtrio. I walked in expecting to catch a diglett and train it, but finding the dugtrio? And then catching it with a pokeball after the great ball failed? Epic... And yes, though it didn't happen in battle, I evolved Karrie and Spike on the ship, as well as Jor gaining his evolution on there too)
