There's no doubt in my mind that at one point you've all come across this certain fellow. A Character who has rocketed his way into your heart. That's right, the best of the best, the creme of the crop. Sometimes you'll wake up in night terrors just due to the sheer amount of GAR this char has enlightened you with. Don't get me wrong, Reborn is host to several great characters, except Noel, like Luna as a maid; Or that Pseudo-Terrorist Cheerleader (Pending Episode 11?). Cain's antics are enjoyable and often leave the brim of your soul shaking with...confusion? Yeah. You get the point.
But what if I told you there was a character who went even further beyond? One who would draw the top card from his deck and shout "Final Turn!" Every.Single.Time. And it would be no less true? One who would seemingly be defeated and reveal the awe inspiring powers of his wrist watch, Kyouka Suigetsu? I think by now you lot already know who it is.
I'm talkin' about the best, baby.
Now a few of you, the ones blind to the truth, may be confused; or even laughing at this. But I implore you; There is no greater diety in Reborn that Swag Jockey Fern, a man whose back story was so tragic that he suffers from a condition known as "Call you a loser everytime we meet Disorder" Do you think anyone can run grass types for the majority of any game? HA NO. Don't even kid yourself and act like you can, even if you could; you're just a Chatot to Fern's Exploud. The scene where he had to change his team up so he could battle the poison gym leader was probably the most climatic part of the game, I had foolishly thought it would be the end of our noble hero, little did I know he was the Fern who surpassed the Fern from yesterday; and thus Krookodile would find himself as one of the quintessential pillars of Reborn's strongest team.
You may be asking, strongest team? How can you say that? It's obvious. Because it's true, like everything else I've said about our divine prodigy, Fernsuna Seiei. Defeat him? Foolish. More like simply survive until the struggle becomes too real for you. You think his budew can tank your fire attacks in the rain because it has some nifty defense? NO. Let me give you a rundown of the organized Crime Circuit known as "2 Swag 4 Justice":
The first, of Fern's great line-up, you may be asking yourself: So what if I just hit it with X attack? What do you mean X attack? That's a item, do you even play this game? Man, your questions are so bad, no wonder you're not worth his time. By the time you finish your first turn, chances are Zerg-rade will have already obtained +6 stats in every category, as a sign of dominance.
I hope you get used to this sight, because by the time Fraxure finishes his dancing classes, this is all you're going to see. Nothing but straight domination, think your petty Fairy types stand a chance? Maybe even a couple of Ice types for you real men? Sorry, Fraxure's only move is Dragon Dance with a single PP, you can't stop this struggle son.
The red bandit of the west in all of his glory. Now as a personal fan of Nidoking myself, I've always felt a certain underwhelming feeling when this Bandito took to the field. The very idea that one could stand up to him is like trying to get bad shrimp from KFC. It just doesn't work out. Speaking of work out, have you seen the arms on this guy? He's clearly the apex of whatever species he is, you might say 'well naturally he's a pokemon / Krookodile, but I ask that you reconsider your answer, he's like the armored Titan from Shingeki No, you just can't stop him.
'Nuff said.
Scyther? More like the much better version of the Gundam Deathscythe Hell. However, no such comparison should be further needed, the world have mercy should Duo Maxwell (Or Critwell if you're familiar with the SRW games) and Fern do battle. These are the blades that more than likely ended your career, and if they didn't consider yourself one of the few. the proud. the strong.
What can I say about this one? Back in the day in Fern's Conquest of Russia, they dubbed him the Iron Curtain, nothing has ever made it out of his thorny hell, the eternal master of gg. You think whatever force created this guy knew he would fall into Fern's hands? If anything he was made to defend -against- fern; in order to protect the weak from the overlord, instead as all things will, they all fell according to his plans.
So be you a kung fu master, a purple shirt wearer, or Noel; know this: You'll never stop the green.
