#((using a Dewott icon bc she was a Dewott at this time))

[luckynatured]

Random reminder that Michelle lived a powered-up Retaliate from Lenora’s Watchog on one HP. 

She 100% has a scar from that incident (I think hc’d it on her abdomen?), but I like to connect it to the fact that Hilbert and Michelle bonded almost instantly when they met. 

I know the ‘hanging onto life due to love’ mechanic wasn’t a thing until Gen VI, but you can’t convince me that isn’t what happened.

#Michelle; #a combination of luck and skill (headcanon) #((I literally screamed)) #((both because it did so much and because Michelle lived it on one)) #((no moment is more intense in a Nuz.locke than a Pokemon living on less than 5 HP)) #((using a Dewott icon bc she was a Dewott at this time)) #((I just wanted an excuse to use all these icons I got for her okay??))
