Pokemon Saved My Life

While I was asleep one Sunday, a series of explosions woke me. I live in the country, so usually these are gunshots being fired by our next-door neighbor–who doesn't use a berm or backstop. It sounded like something fell down in my closet, so I went to check–and there was a hole in the wall that went into my Tupperware bins full of Pokemon. Turns out my idiot neighbors shot a bullet into my house, and an Incineroar theme deck stopped it. The actual 9mm bullet was still inside the box. If it hadn't been there, it would have likely struck me while I was asleep as it was level with my bed.

A lovely man at our LCS bought me a new theme box and I'm okay, but I now count Incineroar as my guardian angel Pokemon and have never been happier to have piles of cardboard in my box. You never know–they might stop a bullet!

    Reminds me when i got shot in the arm from my neighbour from inside there house (sadly it was family violence related and someone died)

    I was holding my daughter at the time and im just happy she didnt get shot, also happy i didnt die and can still look after my family

    Funnily enough my daughter was holding her pokemon cards at the same time

    She heard the bang and house breaking, asked what was that, i knew i was hit but didnt panic and told her to go to her room while i called the ambulance and police

  10. 360_no_soap

    Incineroar is somehow even more of a beast. Glad you’re okay, pokemon is the best ain’t it

  11. _nolemonnomelon_

    Intimidated the bullet 🙏🙏

  12. mechcity22

    Woah that’s horrific! But now you will never stop pokemon collecting! Lol. Regardless that truely is terrifying and you shouldn’t have to worry about that stuff happening.

  13. The_Sawrysawrus

    This post reminds me of that easer headset which stopped a bullet lol. But most importantly it’s a great thing that you’re fine. Hopefully your neighbours learn to use a backstop next time

  14. Erick1011

    You should get the Incineroar graded because that’s an awesome, yet scary, story! That way the card stays well protected in the plastic case.

  15. hutttonnnnnn

    I live in the uk so I just need to worry about flying katanas and long swords.

  16. Dunitanime

    This could be a series on tlc. How pokemon saved my life

  17. grilledchzaspiration

    As someone that lives in the city, stories like this of the country scare me lol.

  18. Dempsey-Roll

    All I can say is ,OMG! Glad you are ok and crazy how a deck box stopped a stray bullet.

  19. No_Imagination8762

    Damn Intimidate is working wonders, that bullet stood no chance against the enemy of VGC and all pokemon players.

    Glad to see your safe from that Bullet mate!!

    Inceneroar – “I… save… friends… Inceneroar… is… happy…”

  21. NaturalSubstantial47

    What in the Actual Fuck? Good lord. God bless you and bless the Pokémon Gods and the good Lord himself for looking out for you. Shit…as humble as you are, you deserve the world right now. I know I’d be stuffing that Inceneroar up someone’s asshole right now! No sleeves, no lube.. straight raw dogging that sphincter!

  22. char_les28

    Damn! Glad you’re good! I’d be the biggest Incineroar fan boy ever after that 😂

  23. chief_n0c-a-h0ma

    Please tell me your neighbor is sitting in a jail cell…

    Saw other comments, damn your cops are lazy.

  24. Acrobatic_Gur6278

    well, Wolfey from VGC would love to know about it lol. good thing you’re safe. good luck with the asshat of your neighbor

  25. Rough_Needleworker29

    If this is Marion County Sheriff’s department I’d be hounding Mr. Billy Woods until he took those hicks guns. That’s unacceptable. Only good thing to come out of Ocala is A Day To Remember

  26. bandonLUV

    My vgc goat fake out parting shot intimidate incin saved the day, on a real note tho stay safe

  27. PuzzleheadedChain473

    What were the specific cards that made the ultimate sacrifice?

  28. Bazaar_is_here

    Great now scalpers are going to sell pokemon cards as armor.

  29. Nientea

    Someone needs to show this story to Wolfe Glick

  30. TitanImpale

    Can you call the cops on this for property damage?

  31. playstationheat

    Holy fucking shit, that is insane and your neighbor needs to have his guns taken away, or a charge. Something. I’m glad you’re safe though, and okay, but certainly a scare.

  32. toastwalrus

    Wolfe: INCINEROAR IS SO GOOD HE STOPS BULLETS IRL

  33. chaotictorres

    Report this to the police, it’s extremely irresponsible
