    Imagine:
    You're an elite four member
    You've trained your entire life for this
    A kid walks in
    No big deal, this happens all the time
    He's only got one Pokemon
    Hmm starter only?
    It's a Magikarp
    He one shots your entire team

    Honestly man, I said this last time and I’m going to say it again. You are one of my favorite creators on the platform. You could have easily stretched this footage out and made 10 separate episodes of 10 minutes in length with 2 ads, but instead you gave us this masterpiece. You are one of the only RUclipsrs I love that do it for the sake of creating something instead of doing it for the monetaztion and ad revenue. I appreciate the hell out of that ♥️
