I did put an edit in the listing, though. \\\"The Circles\\\" is technically NOT an self-insert fic. When we first started writing these stories, Angmar and I decided that our pen names would be those of two of our main characters. (We used to participate in group roleplays before we started writing fanfiction, and since we would often be portraying dozens of characters during a single campaign, our online nicknames would be those of our primary characters. A single name made it easier for the other players to communicate with us. We continued this practice when we started writing \\\"The Circles.\\\") The characters of the fictional Witch-king and the girl called Elfhild have very different personalities from ours and do not represent modern people who have \\\"fallen\\\" into Middle-earth.

I hope this makes sense...

EDIT: Maybe it would be considered \\\"Self-Insert: Inverted,\\\" as the authors named themselves after the characters, instead of naming characters for themselves?

EDIT 2: Also hit Weepinbell with it and battle didn\\\'t end.

EDIT: Battle does not end with Dragon Tail. Strangely not against Sliggoo (I think it has an ability that doesn\\\'t allow fleeing?) But anyway, its description says battle ends. Is it a bug?

Prior to Gen 6, that\\\'s how it used to work and it was guaranteed even when your Pokemon is slower than the wild encounter (which can cause running to fail).

Prior to Gen 6, that\\\'s how it used to work, but the only advantage over simply hitting the Run button was that you can \\\"flee\\\" encounters that you couldn\\\'t (i.e. Mean Look, Shadow Tag, Arena Trap) and it was guaranteed even when your Pokemon is slower than the wild encounter.
