And so my story must abruptly come to an end. Deckard fought valiantly but it simply was not enough. Because I trained him far beyond what I should have, I could not weaken any wild pokemon enough to capture them. While in Mt. Moon, I was forced to fight a Rocket Grunt, and in doing so I was sand-attacked thrice and could not hit that damned Sandshrew for the life of me. When I finally managed to land a hit, he was easily felled. Next came the Ratatta, what a joke. Finally, the last pokemon came out before I could be on my merry way: Zubat. Simple enough, right? My hubris got the best of me... Supersonic led to my downfall, as Deckard hurt himself three times in a row. There was nothing I could do but accept defeat as he withered away and died. R.I.P. Deckard, level 22 Charmelion. You will forever be remembered and missed.
Soon enough I shall attempt this challenge again, perhaps with a Bulbasaur! And I will do it right by not overtraining my pokemon!
Ouch. An untimely end to poor Deckard. I hope his replacement will fare a little better.
The learning curve is steep, but with the heartbreak that comes with loss, you don't tend to make the same mistakes twice.
