One time in the dark years of my origin story, I was playing my Gameboy in my room and the power was getting low after a marathon of destroying picknickers with my Ivysaur. I came across a wild level 53 Gyarados in a lake, which normally wouldn't be much, except that my top pokemon, who also happened to be my starter, was only in his lower 30s and I was using an Old Rod, so this appeared to be some weird glitch. I jumped with excitement and decided to try an capture it for my own and crush all gym leaders who dared oppose me! I managed to keep Ivysaur alive, thanks to a combination of Status moves, and tackled it down slowly to the red zone (Yes, 8 year old me still had Tackle in the 30s, I thought it was good luck -.-).Then I started to spam sleep powder and Great Balls, which I had just stocked up on, and after a heated battle and well over 40 balls, similar to Mewtwo, I caught him. I caught my first Gyarados who was ridiculously powerful, now nobody could stop me! It was as this point where I remembered that the battery was dying and I tried to save, and, this is no joke, it ran out of power
AS I WAS SAVING.
And then it reverted to the last save, and I cried many times.
