Two rabbits, two Koffings, two of those weird flaming centipedes, this rice cooker that had beat a hasty retreat… Honestly, if the next thing that appeared wasn’t a Charmander he was literally going to scream into Zubat-hearing level; this RNG may be bad but this was absolutely ridiculous! Where the hell were the Charmander hiding, anyway?! is fishing on lava even allowed?!

Two of the bunnies, two Koffings, two of the centipedes, a rice cooker thing, and now a Torchic… “Honestly, what the hell? It’s like those horror stories of people going out into the Briarbane undergrowth and searching for literal days to find a Vulpix… but get nothing. Don’t tell me I got hit with that bad luck all the way out here?!” he would wail, screaming and gesturing something fierce at the air. The Dratini, hilariously, was not paying any attention at what the white-haired human was going through. They were just there, waiting for the next damned thing that would come screaming out of the lava at them. The Torchic would blink at them, before scuttling away. is fishing on lava even allowed?!

The last trip out here was absolutely fast, now was he going to be stuck out here waiting for a Charmander to turn up? Just how unlucky was he this time around? He was… sorely reminded of the time he’d gone fishing and had spent quite a long time until he’d hooked up the violet one… Hopefully, Charmander. Hopefully… please? is fishing on lava even allowed?!

I already have a Cyndaquil!” he would continue speaking to nobody in particular. Sure, his Dratini may think he was mad off his rocker, but that was just how a gamer rolled—complaints all day long about the RNG being a fickle little shit. (Hell, he had war flashbacks to the time the Nier event ran on XIV and he’d spent several weeks just trying to complete all the parts of the glamour from that instance clear!) The Dragon-type would blink owlishly at the Fire-type, raising their tail in a threatening gesture before deciding to scuttle off back to where it had come from.

Didn’t that ‘strategy’ work sometimes? Gamers and their weird little rituals about trying to get the RNG to bend in their favor—maybe if he lowered his expectations, the exact opposite would happen? It sounded like a reasonable theory, so… “I don’t think we’re moving from here. They just… keep coming at us here, so…” he would continue as he looked at the Dratini, who continued to slither around his feet. is fishing on lava even allowed?!

Statistically, by now there should’ve been at least one instance of a Charmander to appear, but… Two bunnies, two Koffing, two centipedes, that rice cooker, and now two Torchic, plus one Cyndaquil from earlier… “What the hell is wrong with my spawning luck, did I hit that proverbial wall?” he would grumble as he counted on how many fingers which of the spawns he had yet to encounter. Honestly… he hoped that he didn’t have to spend an entire day out here because of this insanity. is fishing on lava even allowed?!

Having one Pokémon of any line was enough… well, for some reason his mind flash backed to something else… Another place where he had a character that had upwards of thirty Toucannon-line just because they could be used like rocket launchers with enough training and practice! (And then there was that penchant for hoarding Wooloo, too. Everstone’d all of them because… whatever Wooloo evolved into was absolutely not to his liking… remember the time that your other character’s jeans were nommed on by that dour Jove? Haha!) Shaking his head, he idly wondered if wiping down his sweat would help alleviate the stickiness he was experiencing due to this place’s insane heat levels… Maybe not. is fishing on lava even allowed?!

This had… this had to be the… second one, if keeping track was right. Two bunnies, two Koffing, two centipedes, one rice cooker, two Torchic and now two Cyndaquil… “Statistically this shouldn’t be happening,” he huffed as he stared at the ceiling of the cavern he was in. The Dratini was eyeing the Cyndaquil suspiciously, before raising their tail in a threatening gesture made the poor Fire-type scamper away. “This is impossible. Where are all the Charmander hiding? This can’t be an isolated anomaly…” is fishing on lava even allowed?!

It… yikes, the baking heat only got worse after he’d left and returned; the sweat that had been pouring from him in buckets returned in full earnest. The good thing was that he’d already stripped his top off, and was now wearing a thin undershirt stuck to him by the gross sweat… “Ugh, don’t make me take the undershirt off, too!” he groaned as he mentally went over the list of spawns that he’d already encountered. Statistically, he should have encountered a Charmander at this point…! where even is that Charmander?!

A third one? What the hell,” he groaned as he slapped a palm to his forehead and dragged said palm down his face. At this point he was tempted to give up, because what if he did get that ugly curse of finding every single thing other than the one he was looking for? “Come on! Just one fucking Charmander, that’s all I ask! I already got a Cyndaquil from here!” he continued as he hissed, blowing his bangs out of his field of vision before shaking his head. The Dratini wasn’t even interested in the Scorbunny at this point. where even is that Charmander?!

He wasn’t even interested in the bunny because—why did they keep following him—he was here for one target and one alone! What was happening out here, even? He sighed. “Come on,” he would wheedle the RNG to stop being a dick and be nice for once. Just this one Charmander, please? where even is that Charmander?!

Now, if the Dratini could talk, he was sure that the Dragon-type would most likely share his sentiments about Charmander not being sighted at all out here so far… where even is that Charmander?!

Honestly, at this point the spawn lists may as well be severely out of date; all things considered at this point. “This is statistically impossible.” where even is that Charmander?!

He’d been keeping track of the danged things he’d been meeting so far, but… “This is an anomaly in and on itself.” He would then pop open the in-game ‘notepad’, and update the number of encounters he’d had so far—this was ridiculous, honestly. where even is that Charmander?!

Wasn’t that cute? “Rest well,” he would continue quietly as he waited for the next Pokémon to come prancing by after the Torchic left them alone. How long was he going to wait out here until he found the damned thing he was looking for? He honestly… had no idea. where even is that Charmander?!
