If I recall correctly, I asked my brothers what names they wanted in my story. Joseph requested 'Jed' for himself (Jedidia was the name our dad originally wanted to give Joseph, before he was actually born), and then suggested 'H. Hippo' for Fred. Fred attacked him. I wrote this into the story, even though it would clearly make no sense to the readers.
This is really cute! I got into fandom too old for this kind of obvious self-insert, but it's adorable having all of these family in-jokes!
'Hi! Thanks for helping me out. What are your names? Want to COME WITH US ON OUR JOURNEY ACROSS THE COUNTRY?' This is how people interact, right?
"Hi! Thanks for helping me out. What are your names? Want to come with us on our journey across the country? Oh, and are you okay after the painful electric shock you just suffered?"
Look, I'll be honest, I wanted a Meowth with a silver charm, because that's cool and special and I wanted to be cool and special. But I was always very conscious that I shouldn't make Rachel too cool and special. So Jed gets the special Meowth instead.
Yeah, you're definitely giving other people the opportunities to be luckier and get more impressive Pokemon than Rachel.
"Pokéball, G-" I started to say, before I realised that I didn't necessarily have to take Ash's corny line, I just chucked the Pokéball.
I really like the backstory of Ash's implied fame and how in-universe it's his catchphrase, like...does he know he's the subject of a documentary, or does he just accidentally speak in catchphrases? And also that a girl who's about to name her Pokemon "Stardreamer" thinks Ash is being corny.
Secret, Foamy and Water Gun (whom Sparky enjoyed shocking too) had become sworn rivals of Sparky, forming the PASS- Pokémon Against Spiteful Sparky.
If Sparky wasn't so over-the-top mean, I would feel bad for him!
"Well, you are!" Sparky spat. "You're useless. All you know is Tackle and String Shot. You're only level 3! You're nothing. The weak perish. The strong survive. And I am the strong!"
He is so hilariously evil!
"No way," I said. "I don't want that thing to get any stronger-" Suddenly the area became a blaze of pain and flashing yellow.
Is Danielle going to eventually decide that there's a problem with her Pokemon shocking everyone any time he's mildly offended by anything?
