Can’t be mad about a trainer stealing a spot in our Raikou battle
Spent a couple of hours trying to get a shiny Raikou with a group of 3 friends. Only one of us had caught a shiny yesterday, and not many high IV Raikou were caught either. I saw someone across the park in a Beldum and Drilbur battle, but no-one ever came to join us. One of our last battles took us over to the playground power spot where I had seen the lone trainer in battles, but didn’t think anything of it until Adam asked how long we had on the battle timer. Small problem, the battle timer had just ended cause we had 4 trainers. Oops, Adam’s spot got sniped. We all looked around, and saw a lone ten year old boy tapping away on the side of the playground. We all agreed, he could keep his spot. That young boy managed to keep a Pokémon in the fight and we took Raikou down. Then, we heard him shout “shiny!” Then “I got it!” That right there is why I love playing this game. Mom gathered her son up to leave the park, and as he passed us, “That just made my day 100% better!” We all congratulated him as he passed, and we knew he would remember that battle forever.
