The Blocked Path

He’s battled giant sea monsters, flaming horses and poisonous insects, but every trainer must eventually face their ultimate challenge… a shrub blocking their path!

It doesn't matter where you are, what world you're in. VGL rules you.

Door wont open? Possess magical chains that can cut through Titan flesh? Go find a key.
Possibly out of a monster's head.

Jumpable shrub in your way? A short fence surrounds it? Go find a pokemon to cut the puny shrub.
Also remember its only legal to have 6 different pokemon at you at all times. Otherwise Dr Breen is coming for you. He knows what you did.

Possess a nuke? Sent in soldiers who are now fighting aliens which can ruin the entire human race? Eh, they'll be fine; just tell them up up down down left right left right b a start.

Injured in combat? Apart of a solider unit? Eh just wait behind a wall. Medics and Medkits are for pussies. Speaking of which...

Stuck on a base in Mars? Found the 3 keys you need to unlock the different security-colored doors? Drop them after you leave the stage, I'm sure you won't need them again and again and again...I mean, just look at Samus! She's so sure of herself as she empties her weapons of anything remotely usable.

Living in a fantasy world, fresh out on your adventure with a sword and board? Talking to a knight leading the army of Stormwind Castle who gives you an assignment thats highly dangerous and possibly fatal to you? GO DO IT. What are you, a lazy pussy? Clearly the higher-level skilled soldier has more important things to do.

Entering a fighting tournament? Fighting with such strength or weaponary that its impossible for a person to live through it once? Go two rounds with them. Or three. Your choice really if you want to give them more tries to eviscerate you.

Are you a secret agent in the middle of either a terrorist takeover, a zombie apocalypse, or vampire outbreak? Are you armed with at least a handgun? You're fine, those things have infinite ammo and take a second to reload. Also you don't feel the weight of infinity clips.

If hes going to find cut, he'll need to *holds in laughter* branch out.

Reminds me of something from Resident Evil 4.......
Leon: 'Hey, Hunnigan, there's this fence that I can easily jump over but its not displaying the jump command. What do I do?'
Hunnigan: 'Oh, you have to go around.'
Leon: *turns around and sees horde of ganados*............. Shit.

This is why you can't LEAF your GRASS-types behind. It's okay though, as long as you can use CUT outside of battle, you can easily SHRUB this problem of your shoulders.

If cut works like this, then all Red needs is a lawn mower!

...Right?

If Ash can't get through this, I really hope he runs into the Knights Who Say NI.

An epic battle of British and Japanese proportions.

Behold, the power of shrubbery. In fact, Nintendo thought it would be funny to make in the next gerneration a dancing tree which you have to water in order to battle... A DANCING TREE WANNABE!

Red should recruit Scout to cut down the tree with his herring Mackerel.

I don't get it.
If you can't use Cut outside of the battle, why not use something like Flamethrower?

And then he spends hours of his life staring at the little tree. Then he goes "OH! I could just step over it!" *lifts leg to step over, leg doesn't move*

"Dammit! Stupid forced game interactions!"

this is why they need a weed wacker-type pokemon.

Goddammit... a 5 inch deep pond

The knights who previously said Ni demand too many damn shrubberies.

Cross shrub in your path.
Use flamethrower and burn it?
Nope.
Go get Cut.

And to think you'll only need that HM for about half the game...
Reply
*Puts on professor hat&pointer*
The origin behind this is that when Blue and Red version first came out, many did not know about cut. So many of the first players/people without any information believed that the shrubs were unpassable or secret areas. *THE MORE YOU KNOW :D *

Alternatively, you could view this as he forgot his HM CUT slave for the 99'th time :c

Funking Shrubs. How do they work?

Looks like someone needs to get some badges and a lame pokemon to dump cut on in order to move on.
