Rec-Cember 2025 Day 10: Pokémon [7]

[mrsluigivargas]

I used to tune in when Pokemon Johto was airing just for the theme song. It was such a banger. 

Anyway one day I’ll get a recent Pokemon game from the library and play it myself. It looks like fun!

Jessie/James

Jessie yelped and thrust her finger to her lips after stabbing it with the needle for the fourth time in the last ten minutes. Unfortunately, she lamented, hot air balloons are not shock-proof, and after yet another blast from Pikachu’s infamous Thundershock, their Meowth balloon was in disrepair once more. Meowth had gone to speak with their supplier about ordering more Cream #ede6b9 nylon to patch the hole. For goodness’ sake, they should probably just order that stuff in bulk what with the way things are going.
That left her and James to sew up some of the smaller holes. It was delicate work; and Jessie wasn’t exactly the delicate type.

“You can’t be serious. Do you actually not know?” Rika takes one look at him and groans. “Arceus help me. Have you never searched yourself on the Internet?” Rika pauses and makes a face. “On second thought, don’t do that. I think it might traumatize you.”
“I don’t understand.” He really doesn’t. Why would people like him? He’s plain. Average. Unremarkable. He’s not entertaining like Iono or creative like Brassius or friendly like Rika. He can’t even pull off the mysterious, cool aura that Grusha has.
What does he have to offer?
Or: Larry, through the years.
