Re: being flightless

[stubbornflame]

So what? Who cares if I can't fly?

[Meet Richard, the flightless first generation Charizard. That's because his wings are pretty torn up.

He huffs with a puff of smoke and crosses his arms, looking off to the side.]

I don't need my wings. Heck, I'll be skinnier than most Charizards out there. That's a plus. Plus I've been around the block, mun. I know my way around the ring! I can take on anyone.

So you gain all the weaknesses of the flying-type and none of the benefits. Yes, that's clearly a plus.

[He shrugs.]

Fate can be cruel, but I'm not letting it keep me down.

[sharkatron]

Except that you are down.

...Always.

[GET IT IT'S A FLIGHT JOKE.]

[Richard huffs, smoke escaping his nostrils as he rolls his eyes.]

You're hysterical.

[sharkatron]

I try. Although I must admit, it's especially difficult to top something as hilarious as a flightless Charizard.

[stubbornflame]

[EXCUSE YOU.]

It isn't all about flying, you know.

[sharkatron]

Oh, I know. I know quite a lot, actually. I know that without their wings, a Charizard's awkward shape makes it difficult for them to dodge attacks, that their arms are far too short to properly stop a blow, that their legs are thick and sluggish, that simply extinguishing their flame puts them to death. I know that even the mere mention of rock-type moves is enough to make them think twice AND I know a joke when I see one.

You might as well work on becoming "skinnier" now because as you are, you're nothing more than a bumbling target.
