ile 1280986544 png-(56 KB, 260x240, php323A.png) Anonymous 08/05/10(Thu)01:35 No.873918 I'm here to tell you a quick story, vp/. It's about a true friend that I made during a recent nuzlocke run. If you're not one for long sappy stories, gtfo I dedicate this to Squirmy I started off Ruby with a little Torchic, because Ive always loved Blaziken. The first pokemon I was ever able to catch was a Wurmple Great", I thought to myself, "A wurmple. Who the f--- cares" I named him Squirmy I leveled him up just for the hell of it, getting p----- at the fact that he couldn't even take 3 tackles without almost dying. Then came the Rustboro Gym. I had my Combusken, and I thought all was going to be just fine Squirmy had just evolved into a Beautifly before this gym, but I thought nothing of it, swearing I'd throw him in a box when I got the chance Anonymous 08/05/10 u)01:36 No.873938 go on… Anonymous 08/05/10(Thu)01:37 No. 873958 Suddenly, as all was going well, Nosepass scored a critical hit on my Combusken, killing him. All I had left was this p------------ bug I almost quit, but I decided l'd absorb once to try to kill Nosepass That move crited, and Nosepass died He came out of f------ nowhere and avenged my starter with the style and grace that would make a troll cry Squirmy and I became best bros from that day on, and nothing could stop us. He was the leader of my team, always a good 10, even 15 levels ahead sometimes. I even EV trained the little f----- just to make him truly top percentage Multiple times did he jump in to ensure a pokemon wouldn't die, or to avenge a fallen friend. He was always courageous, and seemed to always pull out a critical hit when needed I took out gyms with him, I even swept some (the psychic and Water gyms) with him. Not because it was fast, or easy, but because he was my friend I had plans to transfer al my survivors to my Heart Gold when I finished, so I was looking forward to that Then comes the Elite Four 厂Anonymous 08/05/10(Thu)01:38 No 873994 They weren't necessarily a problem, although I did lose a soon-to-be Salamence in the process (RIP Hardhead). Before anyone goes yelling at me about cheating, I was going by the each floor is a different area rule. I just agreed that if I lost my team, I lost the game. And I had to go with the pokemon I saw, if it was a duplicate, I ignored it and lost my chance for that area Then, enter the Champion. I see Steven standing between our team and victory. I look at my 5 soldiers and know I'm prepared We weren't I didn't have enough ethers to go around, so many of my pokemon were lacking in the movepool. My Exploud was killed by Aggron, my Roselia killed by Skarmory, and my Camerupt almost died by a critical hit from Metagross. Luckily, an earthquake pulled through and I killed him. All that was left was Cradily, but Camerupt was paralyzed, I was out of healing agents (status-wise), and I knew he wouldn't survive a possible hit from Cradily I had kept Squirmy out of the battle for a while, knowing he didn't need to come out for this battle But I had to He had to Anonymous 08/05/10(Thu)01:39 No. 874005 I pull him out and the two start duking it out. Suprisingly, Giga drain did a lot of damage to Cradily, but toxic was hurting Squirmy. I kept healing him, but the toxins kept steadily increasing. I couldn't switch out, knowing if I healed camerupt while fighting, I would surely be killed or critical hit and Squirmy would die But then something happened. Squirmy ran out of attacks. He had fought this whole time in the E4, and I had not even thought about his PP until en His health was low. He couldn't take another hit. The toxic was at the point to where it was taking away more than 3/4 of his health And Cradily was getting p----- off. Steven stopped using full restores a while back. No Giga Drain to heal him, and no full restores to set him free, and switching not being an option, Squirmy knew what had to be done Anonymous 08/05/10(Thu)01:43 No.874085 With one final blow, he struggled with all his might and killed the Cradily in a fearsome blow I watched his health drop I remember thinking it would stop at 2. Maybe 1. I remembered catching him. I remembered him saving lives, kicking ass, and even killing the infernal Groudon. I remembered him winning contests, showing off his beauty. I remember how happy he made me. I remembered how happy I made him. And I remembered telling him we would make it out together. We would live on in another adventure, and we could continue being bros forever Anonymous 08/05/10(Thu)01:44 No.874106 Then, it suddenly stopped I couldn't look, I didn't want to know. Limbo was better than what was about to happen. Nothing could prepare me for this With a final, triumphant cry, Squirmy fell from the sky he used to so freely flutter upon, and into my arms. This is all that was heard, because upon this I had to turn off the sound I survived the Elite Four with my paralyzed Camerupt with around 15 health left As he was inducted to the Hall of Fame as a memory, I couldn't help but look at his lifeless corpse in my arms. As the credits rolled by, I looked at all my friends Of course the last was my starter, but before that It was Squirmy Anonymous 08/05/10(Thu)01:46 No.874158 He was flying again, smiling at me, happy as ever. I wondered How? How can he be so happy after all that happened to him! I promised! I promised. And he died. We were so close, and his life fell right before my eyes, because of me I loaded my game one more time, and looked upon him once more, and told him to take care, wherever he would be I slowly released his soul, along with his other friends, into the great ocean of the pokemon afterlife l put down my gameboy, I smiled, and I promised myself that I would never again do another Nuzlocke challenge. I accomplished my goal I followed every rule And I've finally learned the lesson Anonymous 08/05/10(Thu)01:48 No.874187 874124 It's nuzlocke bro, I'm not going to find f------ loopholes everywhere. It wouldn't work that way irl The challenge isn't about proving things, it's not about survival, it's not even about winning. It's about acceptance. It's about being able to move on, to put things down, and to continue Today, I lost a true bro. His name was Squirmy, and as long as I play pokemon, I shan't soon forget him This story is dedicated to he who traveled through the perilous journey with me Goodbye, old friend. Rest up. You deserve it. Anonymous 08/05/10(Thu)01:57 No. 874423 And here's the sinker I came back to my game around an hour later, I hadn't touched it. But something peculiar happened. For some reason or another, the game said "Squirmy came back!. I released him, and I thought how this could happen. I didn't know if it was the game's way of not letting you get stuck without an HM or what, but it said "Squirmy came back. I looked into my friend's eyes and he looked into mine, and I thought all was well But then he said to me "Old friend, you know the rules.. And that I did. We had always played by them, anyways So I bred him, hatched his egg, transferred it to Heart Gold, and I erased my game, bidding farewell to my longtime friend. This way, his spirit lives on And anyone who detests this can get over it, because we accomplished the nuzlocke challenge, and he came back. Squirmy lives on in SquirmyJR and none of us will ever forget his sacrifice The interesting thing is, I have researched like crazy, and Squirmy had no HMs on him, and there is no way I see that the game would ever make it say Squirmy came back" when all the others were released so easily To this moment I still do not know why Squirmy came back. And I'm okay with that
