And She Burns Through The Night At The Speed Of Light.
Saw a fireball in the sky over Brighton last night, to my alarm, and then ran to the Internet and discovered that I was probably seeing the Hayabusa space probe returning to Earth. How exciting! (But not too exciting, thank goodness.)
I've been thinking about the Not Set in Stone universe: the Pokémon AU in which Charlie Brooker is the Pewter City Gym Leader and David Mitchell a resident reluctant to embrace Pokémon ownership. Specifically, I've been wondering how other characters in the fandom would fit in.
Victoria Coren is another Gym Leader. I am in no doubt about this. Possibly, being a rather down-to-earth person, she specialises in Ground types: Sandslash, Cubone, Dugtrio? This would place her in Viridian City, which has the advantage of being quite close to Pewter City, so she and Brooker could easily be friends. (Alternatively, she could be a Psychic specialist, because it seems rather fitting for a skilled poker player, or a Grass specialist, just because I can see her with an Ivysaur.)
Aisleyne competes in Pokémon Contests and is extremely good at them. Brooker's not particularly interested in Pokémon Contests, but he does tend to watch whatever's on television when he's got nothing else to do, and so he's grown to rather like her, although they've never met.
The other reason Brooker watches Pokémon Contests is because Konnie Huq presents them. Sadly, I don't know Huq or Aisleyne well enough to assign them Pokémon, but I'm fairly confident of the role they would play in the Pokémon world. Brooker has met Huq, because she presents quite a lot of television and has covered the broadcasting of significant Pewter Gym matches on a couple of occasions. They don't really know each other personally, but they've got on well on the occasions on which they've met, so who knows?
Perhaps Huq could get Mitchell into television? PERHAPS THE POKÉMON WORLD COULD HAVE ITS OWN VERSION OF PEEP SHOW. PEEP SHOW WITH POKÉMON. Although that would sort of require the presence of Robert Webb, and in this universe Robert Webb is an Eevee.
'Nathan Barley' is the name Brooker has mentally given Gary Oak since he passed through Brooker's Gym, having forgotten Gary's real name. Gary was only mildly obnoxious, but Brooker has mentally built him up (down?) into the worst human being who ever lived.
(I love Gary. I love that he matures and develops over the course of Pokémon. But he would have met Brooker fairly early on in his journey, and Brooker would not have been impressed.)
I don't have any more fanfiction in this universe planned at the moment, but I'm very much enjoying thinking about it.
