No way, H0LYN3V1L was too cool to get scared. Ideally he would have gone somewhere else, but he read a blog post saying how really strong pokemon were in the area and if he was going to be the hero of the land or whatever, he better have the strongest team. Speaking of his team, he shot a glare at his Snivy. Stupid quiz. “Couldn’t even give me a fire type,” he grumbled under his breath. <Huh?> “It’s just so typical. I mean, clearly they think that I would be too powerful or something so they had to nerf me with a grass type. Some PC bullshit no doubt.” <I think it’s random, dude.> H0LYN3V1L froze. “What. No, not it’s not! You’re dumb. I saw a guide online.” Snivy shrugged and let it go just long enough for a twig to snap in the distance and H0LYN3V1L jumping in surprise. Snivy tried to contain a chuckle, <you scared of a little stick?> “What! No, shut up! I’m not scared. I never get scared. Things are scared of me!” <Uh huh. Sure. Then what’s with the jumpiness?> H0LYN3V1L glared at Snivy. “Clearly someone as low level as you wouldn’t understand it. It’s called being prepared. I’m hypervigilant so nothing could ever sneak up on me. Duh.” The two stared at each other in silence for a moment, only for a rustle to come from some grass. “What was that!” H0LYN3V1L yelled and Snivy started laughing.

H0LYN3V1L, for his part, only jumped a little, which Snivy laughed at again. “That wasn’t out of fear! Shut up! That was just my superhuman reflexes ‘cause I’m so strong!” <Yeah, okay, whatever.> H0LYN3V1L glared at the Snivy. He wasn’t too fond of this pokemon afterall, stats be damned. There was a trading post in Asper, maybe he would be making a stop there after dealing with Sneasel. “Look, you’re my pokemon, which means you gotta do what I say. And I say use Vine Whip!” Thankfully Snivy’s programming overroad any personal desire to spite his trainer and he faced the Sneasel. <Look, let’s get this over quick. I don’t wanna deal with him…> Snivy pointed at H0LYN3V1L. “Hey!” <...any longer than I have to.> That was all the warning Sneasel received before Snivy unleashed a Vine Whip attack against it.

It raised a singular eyebrow before delivering it’s own blow back, knocking Snivy back quite a bit. “What was that! You barely even touched it!” H0LYN3V1L yelled while waving his arms dramatically. <It got me by surprise, okay?> “Surprise?! What surprise? It was literally standing right there and you attacked first!” <Maybe if I had a better trainer…> H0LYN3V1L stomped his foot. “Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you! This is sabotage! You’re trying to keep me down because you’re afraid of my power! Now get it together and do an actual attack this time. Use Tackle.” Snivy rolled his eyes, but listened to H0LYN3V1L, after all, that was his purpose.

The opposing pokemon was just too strong. Snivy was barely standing and looked back at H0LYN3V1L in a silent plea for mercy. But mercy was not something H0LYN3V1L was keen on giving. “What are you doing! Get up, and do another attack!” <But I…> “No! A real pokemon would be able to do this fight. Now actually attack!” Snivy struggled to his feet and faced the now smirking Sneasel. “Use Vine Whip again.” Snivy was fairly certain this was going to be his doom, but he was going to do his best. Once again he charged at Sneasel to unleash his attack

I can’t believe this. I knew they gave me a shitty pokemon to start with! They just couldn’t let me have one thing. Oh no, not me. I don’t get to have anything I want!” H0LYN3V1L started yelling at the sky. The Sneasel he was fighting started to look rather uncomfortable with the triade and awkwardly kicked its foot at the ground. After a few more minutes of screaming and bemoaning his very difficult life, H0LYN3V1L pointed at the Sneasel, causing it to jump to attention again. “You! Just hold on. I’m going to be back with this worthless thing and then we’re going to grind you to pulp!” H0LYN3V1L recalled Snivy back into the pokeball and stormed off in the direction his mini-map said the shrine was.

I’m back. Now get ready to face the pokemon Champion!” he yelled. Sneasel looked around, clearly trying to locate said pokemon Champion and H0LYN3V1L stomped his foot again. “Me! I’m the Champion!” Sneasel let out an ugly snort and H0LYN3V1L growled. “You’ll regret that! Go, Snivy! Actually do something this time.” Snivy flashed out of the pokeball and looked around to see that he was right back where he passed out at. Great. He shot a look at H0LYN3V1L, who seemed to back on another rant. “...and another thing! This is actually a good story for a hero! Afterall, every hero faces challenges and being stuck with a worthless Snivy…” <Rude> “...is just one of those challenges! You’ll see, you’ll all see!” Both Snivy and Sneasel patiently waiting for him to finish his monologue, which took longer than either of them was really expecting before he actually addressed them. “Snivy! Use Tackle!” Well, at least it wasn’t Vine Whip. He looked at the Sneasel, who just shrugged before taking a defensive stance. <Let’s see if he learned anything as a trainer…not likely> he whispered under his breath so only the Sneasel could hear, making the Sneasel let out a chuckle. "Hey! What's funny?" But the pokemon ignored him to fight.

H0LYN3V1L stared, open mouth, at the rather pathetic display. “Seriously? Seriously! Is that the best you both can do? At least before one of you was doing damage!” He slapped his hands to his face and let out a very unflattering yell. “Why is it so hard to be a hero?” Snivy and Sneasel sent each other another look. Were they purposefully not doing a lot of damage just to annoy him? Well, no, that would go against their programming. But were they particularly upset that it was causing the kid to have a breakdown? Also no. “That’s it, you!” H0LYN3V1L pointed at the Sneasel who stood up straighter and pointed at itself to confirm that it was now what H0LYN3V1L was yelling at. “Yes, obviously you! You are clearly the test of my resolve and I will not be defeated by you. For I am H0LYN3V1L, I am the hero of this stupid story and you will learn to respect me!” <That’s great, kid. We still fighting, or can I go?> Snivy asked. “You’re barely fighting to begin with!” Snivy shrugged in response. “So actually do something that works! Another Tackle, and actually mean it this time.” Snivy sighed and looked at Sneasel, who just shrugged in response. Once again the two pokemon ran towards each other.

Or, at least Snivy was returning the damage that Sneasel had been doing the whole time. It wasn’t a lot, but H0LYN3V1L needed something to keep him going. If this fight went on for much longer, he was just going to say fuck it to the whole game, log out, and pretend he never even played it to begin with. But his hatred of this stupid Sneasel and his stupid Snivy was currently outweighing his desire to rage quit. For now. “At least you finally did something,” he sneered and both pokemon glared at him. H0LYN3V1L’s instincts as a nerd kicked in and he realized that maybe antagonizing the two pokemon wasn’t the best idea. “Look, okay, just focus on the fight like you’re supposed to do. Try a Vine Whip again!” He was hoping that giving the direct order would overpower the apparent dislike he was seeding in both pokemon.

This fight was not going the way it was supposed to. Stupid Sneasel with it’s stupid health and stupid Snivy with it’s weak attacks. “I just wanted to be a hero…” he grumbled to himself and ripped up a handful of grass before throwing it to the side. <Hey, you uh, you wanna participate here?> Snivy wheezed. “What’s the point?” H0LYN3V1L whined as he ripped out another handful of grass. “I was nerfed to begin with. Given a stupid pokemon that doesn’t even work for me. Come on! I’m a Kindler and I get a grass type? It’s bullshit.” Sneasel and Snivy looked at each other again. The two had really bonded through all of H0LYN3V1L’s complaining. <Aw come on, don’t be like that. We’ll just heal up again.> “Heroes aren’t supposed to suck this much.” Hell, Snivy didn’t want to give this kid a pep talk, but apparently that was his lot in life. He gestured to Sneasel to hold on for a second who nodded. <Look, this is supposed to happen, yeah? You get knocked around a bit, then do a cool training montage, then make your comeback.> That got H0LYN3V1L to look up. “Really?” <Sure, I guess.> H0LYN3V1L thought about it for a moment before nodding. “Yeah, okay, training montages are hella cool” <That’s the spirit. Now let’s lose this fight and promise revenge later on.> “Yeah! Okay Snivy, do one last Vine Whip!” Snivy turned back to Sneasel and nodded to signal that the fight was back on and the two pokemon attacked again.
