"Beat Emerald tonight, it was a struggle in a way I never dreamed possible"

I've been playing Pokemon Emerald for a bit on an emulator site (ArcadeSpot for those interested) it's been really fun and tonight I decided to take on the Pokemon League.The Elite Four had their share of ups and downs but they were nothing compared to Wallace. Mind you my time was like 3-4 levels lower than his, but he put up quite a fight.There were things like his Milotic's toxic, his Gyarados surviving my Aggron's Thunderbolts, but then came his Ludicolo. I think this was the second time ever in my history of playing Pokemon I've ever battled one so long it had to use struggle. This was one of those times. Double Team was spammed to oblivion, Surf knocked out some of my team while they kept missing. Eventually, it came down to my Flygon taking the thing on. I used up the rest of my X Accuracys, a few X Specials by the time Ludicolo had used up all his moves to get to Struggle and after one last Dragon Breath, the struggle recoil knocked out Ludicolo. It was a crazy experience. Wish I'd recorded it frankly.Funny enough, Wallace's Wishcash came out after that, but one Leaf Blade from my Sceptile and the battle was over.I was never much of a fan of Ludicolo, but tonight just before I was about to fight it I gained a bit more of an appreciation for it simply because of how ridiculous it looks. I'm happy to say that this new appreciation has formed into part-admiration as well, for how tough this thing can be if you play the right cards.Sorry for the long rant, just wanted to tell my fun little story. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/3kXCX6h
