Pokemon Go

My real life pokemon, Max, passed away



Max was certainly a grass type by diet, but a fierce
dragon in the size of his heart. Tuesday he got really
fragile, I had him in my lap and together we went on a
14 game winning streak as I cared for him (personal all
time record), I told Max “let’s go for a 1700 ranking!” (A
record for me) Yesterday I took him to the vet and then
nad work, I started my 25 matches but got my ass
kicked 3/5 times the first set and my rating dropped
farther from 1700, my rivals were now fierce. I started
my second set needing 4/5 wins, went 1-1 the first 2
matches until my gf came to visit at work, the vet then
called telling me due to being born with one kidney and
old age, Max passed away despite entering ICU. I was
devastated, my gf was there for me but when she left
I picked up PoGo again, as cheesy as it sounds I had
promised Max I’d get to 1700 in his honor when he was
still alive, but now he was gone, I had 3 matches left in
a set 1 had started while he was in ICU, I had to win all
3 and there were no second chances, so I prayed that
somehow I would win all 3. Won 2, I took a deep breath
and did a final prayer and thankfully won my last match
when the ranking window appeared it showed 1727, I
burst into tears and started crying as I delivered in the
promise I had made Max.
14 win streak and 1727 ranking, records I reached with
my bun. Today is the first day without Max, l’ve lost
interest in Pokemon Go, I will leave those records up as
personal bests never to be beaten in my best friend’s
honor. It’s weird and devastating knowing that he’s gone.
Today we took the decision to cremate him and l’ve
been in tears the whole day. It’s crazy because Pokemon
is basically a show about relationships between animals
and their trainers/friends so it hits hard. The daily
mission box has the first day checked off, a January 10
stamp, the day my best friend passed. I love this game
but after Max’s departure, it’s not the same

Please share some encouragement or some pet stories to help me in this hard time I’m going through.

Thank you so much

    Aw I am sorry for your loss. May Max rest in peace. I had bunnies too long ago and I miss them a lot so I know the pain.

    I once had a dream of one of my bunnies named Stone who warned me about something in my life. He was looking out for me up in heaven. I appreciate it so much if it’s real. They never truly leave.
