There once was a gamer, going by the name 'Shining Pikablu'. As you could probably see from his name, he was a Pokémon. Though the true story of his entire past is, and probably will be forever shrouded in mystery. Many of you have heard of his passionate hate for prepromoted characters in the popular Fire Emblem video game series. If, perhaps, wondering how all of it started, well, my story will provide the answers you seek. One day, Shining Pikablu bought the seventh entry in the Fire Emblem series. He quite enjoyed just sitting down with his GameBoy Advance, playing his Fire Emblem game very much. After a small period of time, he had accomplished all his missions in Lyn's tale. This was just the beginning for him. He had arrived in Eliwood's tale, with brand new units at his disposal. Excited, Shining Pikablu looked through his new small army to see what he was going to be dealing with. He checked out his new lord, Eliwood, then flipped the screen over to Lowen, his brand new cavalier. After checking their status out, he flipped the info screen over to Marcus, and that would be a moment that changed his life forever. He gazed in awe at Marcus' status screen. His movement! His caps! His starting status exceeded the others by many. And behold! A silver sword! He could not believe such a powerful soldier had been given to him. He immediately decided that Marcus was his right hand man, and boldly sent him charging on into the hordes of enemies, laughing proudly as Marcus dealt swift justice to them, while only taking a few scratches in return. He thought that nothing could possibly be capable of defeating Marcus’s sheer awesomeness. In his love for Marcus, he neglected all his other units, and they saw barely any Experience points at all. He proudly watched Marcus duel all the boss enemies, regular enemies, everything. Shining Pikablu wasn't to be discouraged by the low amount of Experience points the enemies were giving out. He had himself convinced that Marcus was the best. But it was not to last. As he progressed through the chapters, the enemies became more of a challenge, and Marcus slowly started to slip against these new terrors. Shining Pikablu was shocked when an enemy defeated his Marcus. But Shining Pikablu persisted, restarting the chapters and sending Marcus to handle the enemies until he was able to get through them. Shining Pikablu went past the half way point in the game. The goings got extremely rough for him as he feebly clawed his way through the chapters. All of Marcus's greatness seemed to have faded. He had reached a chapter that proved much too difficult for him. He tried and tried, for hours upon hours, but he could not succeed. Marcus just did not hold his own at all anymore. He screamed and howled out his frustration. During his no one knows how many restarts, Marcus fell painfully again and again and again. But, after countless deaths, instead of saying his normal death quote, Marcus looked directly at Shining Pikablu, let out a demented cackle, and proclaimed how he had royally screwed over Shining Pikablu, eliminating several hours of his life he would never get back. "You monster!!!" Shining Pikablu shouted at the screen. As Marcus faded from the map laughing, Shining Pikablu shouted and howled in great frustration and anguish. And yet, in his darkest hour, a new star rose to save him. For with the help of Wallace, the mighty General he reacquired from Lyn’s Tale in the same battle where Marcus fell, he defeated the mighty enemy Swordmaster and moved on to the next battle, although he had no idea how he would be able to fight without Marcus. However, in the next Chapter, he reviewed a pair of new units he had acquired. It was in this way that his eyes fell upon Pent. Shining Pikablu looked with awe at Pent’s status screen, in the same way he had gaped at Marcus’s. He remembered Marcus’s betrayal, and yet he trusted Pent, for Pent had an A Support, and though Shining Pikablu knew not what this was he convinced himself that it meant Pent was no Marcus. And so, he proceeded through the game in the same manner as he had before, except that he now relied on Pent. After reading on the website gamefaqs.com the function of Supports, he kept Pent’s partner Louise near him at all times, and noticed the increase in Pent’s ownage factor. His trust in Pent was solidified when he noticed that Pent actually gained stats when he levelled up. However, the game began to catch up with him again, as it had with Marcus. Yet Shining Pikablu persevered, and managed to reach the very last Chapter. Shining Pikablu gave Pent his blessings for being true to him, and sent him in. He found that his foes in this battle were few, and yet they were strong, stronger than anything Shining Pikablu had ever seen before. Pent managed to kill the first of these mighty foes, but with serious injury. However, Shining Pikablu used an Elixir and sent Pent to face the next foe, whom he defeated as well. But as Pent had fought this foe, another two had arrived behind him, and then two more from yet another direction. Pent fought desperately and held his own, but Shining Pikablu was shocked when Louise fell. When she died, Pent left as well, much to the distress of Shining Pikablu. But he had not come this far to give up easily. Shining Pikablu played again and again, but he could not keep Louise alive, no matter how hard he tried. Finally he removed Louise and instead fought with a character named Athos alongside Pent, whom Shining Pikablu trusted because he knew Athos to be Gandalf in disguise, and Gandalf was of course a good guy. With his new dynamic duo, Shining Pikablu defeated six great foes, and believed himself invincible now. There was nothing he could not do; no enemy could stop the combined might of Pent and Athos; Shining Pikablu laughed as they cut down their adversaries with deadly Magic. Then, two last enemies showed themselves. Their names were Lloyd and Linus; Shining Pikablu saw that they had an A Support as Pent had once had, and he was afraid yet again. He fought them, and his pair prevailed, but before they died these terrors had taken the life of Athos. This shook Shining Pikablu to the core, and yet he did not give in. He saw that he still had one last foe to defeat: a Dark Druid, with unbelievable stats, a Spell that was too godly to be believed, and ugliness greater than anything ever seen before. Pent fought this horror, and Shining Pikablu was devastated when the Dark Druid struck Pent down. He could not believe that anything could possibly stop the juggernaut that was Pent; he restarted over and over and over, and yet he was always stopped here, with the last foe in the game being the one who stopped him every time. Finally, after too many restarts to count, Shining Pikablu noticed a change in Pent’s portrait. Pent, who had previously looked competent and cheerful, now had a demented, evil expression. This time when Pent fell, he looked Shining Pikablu in the eye, just as Marcus had, and said: “You foolish n00b!!!! What are doing??!!?! You have ruined me, I am losing my sanity from so many deaths!!! How could anyone possibly be so bad at this game?!?!?! It is by my graces that you made this much progress in the first place!!! Now, I recommend you put this game down and never touch it again. I QUIT!!!!!!!!” With Pent dead, his army stood not a chance, no matter how many times he tried. He had wasted, Marcus had said, many hours he would never get back. Marcus's betrayal and Pent’s abandonment had permanently scarred Shining Pikablu, and since that fateful day, he has had a burning enmity for Prepromoted characters. And that, my friends, is the legend of Shining Pikablu. |

He's evil because he spreads lies and refuses to believe anyone that corrects him. |

Hey, what happened to that Shining Pikablu sprite comic, anyway? |
