In a stunning revenge story today, a released magikarp returned to blast their former trainer for releasing them. Reportedly, the magikarp, caught over a year prior, was released almost immidietly after the trainer scanned their Pokedex and realized just how useless one is. However, fueled by pure hatred, the karp was able to survive long enough, stealing xp from wild battles, and training, and had evolved into a Gyrados yesterday. They then went in for the attack. "Frankly, I thought I was a goner", says the child trainer that was attacked. "There I was, biking across Cycling Road, then suddenly a MASSIVE Gyrados smashed through the water next to me! I almost fell off my bike, but didnt, because its illegal. Before the Gyrados was able to fire a hyper beam on me, I managed to use my team to set up a Reflect, nearly killing the Gyra and forcing them to retreat. I do feel bad for them, but my team had no room for the weakness of the karp." Officer Jennies across the region are urging the boy to go into witness protection, but they refused, stating "This is my chance to do a Great Gatsby!" and running off.
Author note: I'm sure those kids would try to fight a Gyrados single handedly, they all seem to have so much energy and hope. Maybe they're just trying to emulate Red, but it is worrying.. -nw
