    <content type="html">I've mentioned the raticate story briefly in one of my earlier posts, and with two blank stares, I shall explain the tale. Pokemon don't really die. As sort of a buffer from kids and the harsh reality, Pokemon just seem to faint. Well, kinda. There's usually a tower in the region where old and passed on Pokemon are laid to rest. Some sick, some just out of time, but one maybe not so...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the original three, (red, blue, and yellow,) one of your rival's first caught Pokemon is a rattata. He's faithfully raised along side Gary and evolved into a raticate. All is normal up until Pokemon tower in Lavender town. You run into your rival, laying something on a Pokemon's grave. As he turns to leave, he sees you and immediately turns hostile and challenges you. The big kicker is, raticate is no longer in his party...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While not directly mentioned, it is insinuated that you actually killed Gary's raticate. Battled him to death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cold, man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pokemon: 61&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=knumpify&amp;ditemid=3747" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
