I will never forget the day I first met her.
To be honest, I didn't think much of her at first.
I bet she wouldn't even make it through the first week of the tournament.
“rfn!”
“Hey, stop building teams. Just play smeargle.”
“Smeargle avoided the attack.”
That night, she used minimize to shield herself from fear, as if her opponent simply wouldn't be able to hit her smeargle.
“lmao this clown”
“The opposing mamoswine used heavy slam.”
What happened next... well, there isn't much to say.
We all thought she would finally start using a real team, but in w2, she load hypnosis smeargle.
Sometimes I asked her why he kept playing smeargle.
She never said a word and just calmly walk away.
In anything goes, there are usually only two possible endings when you bring a cheese team:
get banned or get tourbanned.
But that day, the tier leader was in a good mood and agreed to let her play in w3.
At that moment, the sunlight fell upon her, as if she were a real team player.
But not everyone likes cheese.
Sometimes, when you run into it in a tour, a heated exchange of words is inevitable.
But sometimes, cheese is the best disguise.
While we were being tormented by her smeargle in svag, she was quietly practicing her smeargle team in smag, little by little.
That day was the AGPL finals.
I was lying in bed, listening as that familiar smeargle sound slowly faded away, like someone finally reaching the punchline of a joke they had been holding onto for years.
Just when we all thought she had finally reached her limit...
she was there, in the AGPL finals, smiling as she walked out of the darkness of the sewers and toward victory.
After she left, everyone said things were finally peaceful again.
But for some reason, I still felt like I missed her.
Whenever I felt at peace, I would think about her smeargle.
Then one day, I suddenly realized that I couldn't even remember the last time I had played smeargle myself.
Maybe...
this is what they mean by “using real teams.”
“Do you still want to play smeargle?”
“smeargle?”
“I don't even know what smeargle is.”
Only after I truly walked away did I finally understand
why some people can't help but use smeargle before they've even won.
liliou is simply destined to never be contained,
because her luck is just too damn good.
