And that was the day my Ampharos died… outside a Pokemon Center while Nurse Joy was on her lunch break.

I'm not sure whats a worse fate. Being stuck outside.
Or this http://www.halolz.com/2010/10/24/weve-restored-yo…
Later on, you see professor oak coming out of the pokéCenter and Nurse joy who say :We hope to see you again!
Well, I guess there was no joy that day.
thank you for not doing the CSI thing and just making a pun :D i +1 you
What do you expect with free health care?
Well I live in Canada where there's free health care. >:C
And to think you can stand inside for 24 hours everyday, and Nurse Joy NEVER leaves that table… EVER…
I'm sad now… Ampharos is my favorite electric Pokemon…
Well, time to get a Luxray!
Actually, I was originally going to, but i couldn't figure out how to phrase it right without it sounding forced.
well i guess today there will be no
…
joy
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah it does sounds weird
When you think about it, this is actually kinda sad… especially with Shawn's comment. :(
Good thing there's a Pokemart next door stocked with an infinite supply of revives!
*Cue picture of the inside of a Pokemart with a sign above the Revives saying "Out of Stock"*
It looks like Red….
*Blackglasses*
had no Joy.
YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH?
+1 for using "Blackglasses" :D
Free health care is a myth. Taxes pay for it.
Guess he didn't have
*monocle*
the joy of his time
YEEAAAAHHHHHHH
that happened in under a minute…
Of course, it's less depressing when you realize Pokemon don't die. They just faint.
What about the Day care? Just drop off the Ampharos, and then pick it up. Back to full health.
Pokemon can die! Remember the tower in Lavender Town?
http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://media.s…
and if your a hobo that stupids themself into hospital?
Well, he came as fast as he could, you know.
That idiot…
Obviously, he doesn't know how to use Revive.
It's undergoing some repairs after some skitty and whalelord…umm, play time
"if you want your pokemon back, it will cost… ¥48,300"
*bulge*
"I'm sorry, make that ¥48,400"
Mmm, penis puns.
I saw the title in the RSS feed, and I thought it was gonna be an EBA joke. How foolish of me.
Sample Artistic Analysis: Obviously the shadow on the Pokémon Center represents "the man" bringing down the boy and his Pokémon. Thus the reflection in the glass represents the boy's own reflection on what he's accomplished in life. Most notably, his inability to keep his own Ampharos alive. The pot laying next to the doors is there to accept the boy's hopes and dreams that are thrown away as a result of this ordeal.
Yeah, but i think it's like (SO sorry for the comparison but its the only thing i can think of) zombies, pokemon only die when their head or some other vital part is just chopped off its body. And they have an incredible resistance to cuts and stuff, so, when a mon dies is because of a gruesome accident, so, that Ampharos should be safe.
Remember Blue's Raticate?
It was all your fault.
Watt?!? It's not her fault that Ampharos's life short-circuited.
I smell a Nurse Joy harem…
Crap your pants now. It saves time dealing with patients later.
Pokemon: Capture them all…only to replace them with better ones later.
Wait! What about Rare candys? They can revive too!
(Waits to see if any wity replys pop up)
*ahem*
*Wailord
And there wasn't much CHANSEY in the world for Ampharos.
Before he heard you beat the Elite Four?
All Rare Candies have been confiscated and subsequently destroyed by the EV Police. Along with all herbal "medicine".
Am I the only one that's questioning the fact a 10 year old kid is carrying a 135lbs pokemon without any problems?
Put in a heal ball, that will solve all problems and bring about world peace….i think.
But they only work on Dark types.
This kid obviously hasn't ever learned how to use that money he stole from trainers to buy Revives from Marts.
Not at all. They power Dark-type moves. Any Pokemon can wear them.
Not that Ampharos learns many Dark moves anyway…
Pokemon, Rated M edition
in all seriousness though, I too felt sad looking at that. ='(
What about that green guy who owns that mansion?i think hes a myth.
Ash: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALP!
*EBA Agents drop in and do the Electric Boogaloo*
He was out of pokeballs.
Player blacked out, rushed to nearest pokemon center…
Then your games starts up again with one less pokemon.
Well, it can safely be assumed that Red already owns that Ampharos, so that would mean that he has already used a Pokeball on it. The Heal Ball only works when you first capture a Pokemon. Therefore, the only way to use a Heal Ball to heal it is to release it and capture it again, which would be impossible because a PC must be used to release Pokemon. As has already been established, the Pokemon Center is closed and the Day Care is undergoing repairs. Even if Red managed to find an available PC, released Pokemon can never be found again, defeating the purpose of healing Ampharos.
…
If only I could write a paper on Pokemon, then college would be much easier.
I BEG TO DIFFER!

And that weightlifting really helped.
We all know it isn't Joy's lunch break. She's really in there doing Brock.
My Electivire finds your lack of whimsy distasteful…
That's deep. Here's a +1 for you.

GGGGGAAAAAARRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!
Oh well, I guess I'll go get raikou out of the compu… Damn…
what about the computer or he could fly home
actually putting it in then closing it then taking it back out it would be fully healed
he must have been doing a nuzloke run
we need more EBA jokes
I'm not going to lie, I shed a tear reading that. I don't think I'll be able to play R/B version with the same mindset ever again.
At least your rival in G/S/C is a total dick.
Sadly…this is the fate of many Poisoned Nuzlockers. i_i
Ah, yes. I had forgotten about that. There is still the matter of locating a PC that is not in a Pokemon Center or the Day Care. If memory serves, there is one in Silph Co.
Of course, there's always the people in the houses that can heal your Pokemon. (Do the Chansey Dance!)
I hear the enemy pokemon took him out without too much resistance.
Link?
CHANSEY! CHANSEY! CHANSEY DANCE!
OBJECTION!!!
Magneton < Magnezone
U.F.O.s are the shit. 'Nuff said.
You mean Giovanni's son? AKA The leader of team rocket who just dropped off the face of the earth? Yeah, he never had a dad or a mom, let alone a home. Yep every time you beat him your beating an orphaned homeless child. How do you feel now?
GOOD NEWS!!! It's a SUPPOSITORY!!!
So, I take it that Brock is rockin' her world, huh? Maybe taking it to the next level, hmm? Seeing perhaps what may Bellossum? Hmm?
The ones I like are the ones that aren't overly loved.
The ones I throw up on a whim are the ones that reach nearly 100 points.
There is some sense of irony there.
well I was thinking of that but I couldn't think of any besides his moms house
There's the woman in the house on the way to Victory Road and the old lady in Generation III that always insists that you stay longer…. O_O""
On top of all that he was only trying to battle Team Rocket so daddy Giovanni would give him some respect and love him again. You pretty much made him look like a weak fool and an asshat for stealing the pokemon. Not to mention I'm certain after the final time you face off with him, where he's "mended his ways", he's picked up by the cops for stealing said pokemon and thrown in juvey or something, effectively seperating his pokemon he had raised for "months" from him. You basically ruined 7 lives right there. 8 if they never figure out that the Sneasel belonged to the guy in Cianwood.
Tell me; is a man not entitled to the free health care for his pokemon?
"NO!" Says the man in Kanto, "It belongs to the Elite 4!"
"NO!" Says the man in Johto, "It belongs to Ho-Oh!"
"NO!" Says the Pokemon Ranger, "It belongs to everybody!"
I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose…The creepy old lady who lets you take a nap in her house.
Looks like someone didn't save their game before they ran into Gary.
He is the rock-hard gym leader… And I'm sure doing it while stoned only enhances the experience.
DO WANT.
OBJECTION!!
Geodude.
i beat all of you
Your pokemon are at red health, your half knocked out, and 10 steps from a pokemon center

Your argument is invalid
Already exists. Most of the Nurse Joy clones were produced by KaibaCorp so that Kaiba could shun them with his cold indifference.
redMoms is out "Shopping" and the internet is broken.
he could try the invisible one in the hotel or at the elite 4
Well, the computer is inside the Pokécenter, right?
*Shrugs*
+1 for the Futurama ref
It was a bit of a (thunder) shock to hear that.
Probably due to all that Protein he took earlier.
Scawled in the corner: "Gary was here, Ash is a loser!"
Dang…. No pun here.
12 seconds to be precise…
I don't really feel so bad for tearing him away from his Pokemon, after all he might as well have beat the damn things with tire irons.
Your Ampharos was just beaten by to a pulp by Brock’s Onix and you run to the nearest pokemon center to heal but who’s in there banging nurse joy so you can’t heal?
Gary Mother Fuckin’ Oak.
yes but it is also at the elite 4 and there is also the invisible one and the are more pokemon centers or he could use a berry
NEVAR FORGET.
Must've been one heck of a jolt huh?
