So I was in the middle of typing the situation out but at this point I've forgotten a lot of the critical details. This is the Player vs Radomus + Serra from reborn v18

>> ???, Mega Garde
>> Sylveon, Swampert

Swampert low HP, bait the enemy AI to hit its protect while Sylveon gets a free turn to set up Misty Terrain. > Mega Garde moves first, Hyper Voice. Damage is being lain onto both Pokemon. 

Things I Wasn't Paying Attention To: whether or not Swampert got the Protect off. I wasn't reading the battle text as I was googling searching something on the side most likely. I just turned back to the game and saw Swampert going down and then Sylveon eating some Steel-Attack. 

For the Record: Not in regards/relevent to actual Pokemon games. I doubt Pokemon™ could actually get away with something like this. 

I'm willing to believe in like 3 different possibilities. 

1. It was the second attempt to protect in a row (very unlikely, I'm not trash garbage)

2. there's always a little bit of lag if your keyboard-flying the top-left-down arrow keys + enter/space - so I accidentally used another move?

3. I broke the game.

It's during the V18 uh massive 3-in-a-row-battle-gauntlet which is why I was so mad. 

This all is detracting from my main issue, but if I did evict them, I end up with less relationship points with Daimen (is that how you spell his name?) and he ends up in a mental state that isn't the most ideal, as I have no idea what will happen or if I even need him for a more 'optimal' ending I guess I have to sit here and be okay with the whole thing.

It's like every time Melia has those relationship point dialogues, you just know you spam 'A' and don't read it so you don't get mad - so when you get to the library scene with Erin, she says that 'she trusts you' - and I think the ghost in your head can tell you '[You're] a good person'. 

I don't have a problem with the grunts dying at all. Evil for evil, evil beget evil, and all that. Or at the very least, serve your goddamn time. So in all, its every single relationship point scam dialogue that grinds my gears a lot. This was just meant to be a venting status, because every aspect of it is so paragon-oriented, if there is need for discussion on Madame X's prowess (I'm interested in this too!) I'd start something on the forums, or join in preexisting ones. 

I realize my desires may have been expressed a bit too broadly - I meant journal as in just something like writing down: God I hate Taka, I say as I try to un-attach him from me, but consider multiple forms of consequences and jab F12. Then again, something like that is rather entirely too personal and a little TMI-cringey, so I might just make Fanfic out of my run and just stick it into the Creative Thread. 

Thank you for the swift response tho senpai.
