𐐪♡𐑂 - When You Meet (PKMN)
FYI...
Everyone is their canon ages. With the acception of Butch and James, whom I'm headcanonning as 20 year olds-Mid 20's. I'm gonna try to keep everything as in universe as possible. Also I am writing a more AFAB!Reader but that doesn't mean you can't read (Y/N) as any other gender(s) ^^
Also if you've come from Quotev, this is a rewrite! I changed some minor details to the whole scenario even for a few of these guys so yeah. Sorry for any possible confusion. ^^
GIFS ARENT MINE
Happy reading!
(P/O/C) = Pokemon of Choice
(T/O/C) = Town of Choice
(BFF/N) = Best Friends Name
Ash
You were running around in the forest laughing along with your (P/O/C), when you ran into a boy and his pikachu. You groaned, rubbing your behind from the hard impact.
"Hey! Watch where your going!" The boy yelled, fixing his cap.
"I'm sorry! I didn't think anyone would be in this part of the forest." You stood up and stretched your sore muscles. Once making sure (P/O/C) was alright, you turned to the boy and his friends with a smile, "My names (Y/N), (Y/n) (L/N)."
The boy smiled at your kindness, "Hi! I'm Ash Ketchum and this is my buddy Pikachu." He introduced as Pikachu gave a 'pika'. His two friends, a red head and a taller boy, looked as though they were gonna say hi but were cut off by this Ah Ketchum boy; "I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to snap like that." He scratched his cheek.
You shook your head, "No worries. I don't blame you. I'm sorry but I gotta go now." You turned around on your heel, "Bye guys!" You waved with (P/O/C) not too far behind you.
"She seems nice." Misty commented.
"Yeah. It's too bad she had to leave so soon though." Brock adds.
"I wonder if I'll ever get to meet her again." Ash smiles looking off in the direction you ran off in.
Brock
Today you were at a local Pokemon centre waiting for your best buddy, (P/O/C). It wasnt long before they came out with Nurse Joy leading the way. You got up and ran over to the duo with a smile, "You're okay-!"
"Nurse Joy! You're so beautiful I could melt away!" A boy around your age jumped in between you and the nurse.
You snorted at the boys love sick performance. You peeked over his shoulder and made eye contact with (P/O/C). "There you are!" You pushed passed the boy and grave your dear friend a hug.
"Woah." The boy sighed in astonishment. Suddenly instead of (P/O/C) in front of you, you were met with the eyes of the boy from just a moment before. "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." He held your hands.
"Oh!" You blushed, "Thank you." You smiled.
"Come on Brock!" A little boy in glasses dragged the boy away from you.
"Let's meet again someday!" 'Brock' called out to you.
James
You stood off to the side as you watched your best friend (BFF/N) and a girl with long violet red hair argue over who should get the wild Eevee that kind of just came out of nowhere.
"Hurry it up Jessie or its gonna get away!" A man with blue hair shouted. He wore an all white outfit, paired with black gloves that match with his boots, a belt, and an undershirt. Not to mention the huge red R on his shirt.
"Come on (BFF/N)! If your not gonna catch it, I'll get it!" You pulled out your pokeballl and out came a (P/O/C).
"No! (Y/n) I'll get it!" Your friend pulled out her own pokeball and out came her Pokemon.
"I don't understand why I don't just ditch you already." You sighed which (P/O/C) nodded along too.
"Sometimes I wonder the same thing with Jessie." The boy beside you sighed. You glanced at the guy who was now standing right beside you. You gulped. He was... actually quite cute.
"Do you, um," You coughed, "...do you want a rice ball?" You held out your lunchbox. The mystery man happily grabbed the offered food.
"Where I come from, they call these jelly filled donuts." He took a bite, "Pretty funny if you ask me." You guys shared a laugh. He caught your eyes, "Thank you. It was delicious."
Quickly, you felt your heart pounding and your face heating up, "No...no problem!" You smiled.
Butch
Walking to the nearest restaurant you can find, you kept conversation with your little (P/O/C); "The ice cream in this place is supposed to be really good. They even have specially made ice cream for Pokemon! Isn't that cool?" You smiled down at your little buddy.
They nodded and made a little noise, which you can only assume meant some form of agreement.
Right as you entered the place, you were behind two people in dark coats. It was... a little intimidating if we're being honest.
"U-um," You stuttered out, the two turned to you, "if you're done ordering... I'd like a turn please." You shyly pointed at the counter.
The girl huffed, "alright. We were done anyways," she turned around, "Biff, bring our order when it's ready." She stalked off to a back table.
"It's Butch!" He called out aggravated.
He stepped aside to let you order.
The employee, who seemed a little suspicious, came back with all three orders; one for the duo, one for you, and one for your pokemon. The green haired man grabbed his order and was about to walk away when he noticed how you quickly retreated your hands from your sundaes. He rolled his eyes and sighed, "Here," he gently pushed you aside, "I got it." He grabbed tray to carry all your orders on.
"Thank you." You nodded.
"Hm," He hummed, staring down at you with his dark shades, "where are you sitting?"
Ritchie
"(P/O/C), can you set up the blanket over there please? Thank you." You smiled.
"And (P/O/C), can you carry this basket please. I'm afraid it's too heavy for me." You blushed sheepishly as another one of your pokemon carried the basket to where the other was.
"I'm sorry for having you guys do all this work for me. I'll give you guys some extra yummy food to make up for it, okay?" You got up from the river having just filtered your water to keep fresh and healthy for the remainder of your trip to the nearest town possible.
"Wow! This all looks great!" Someone shouted. You looked across the river and saw a boy about your age with a Pikachu on his shoulder. aww how cute! The pikachu had a little tuff of furr on his head!
"Sorry I didn't mean to disturb you. Its just that I saw some Pokemon and wanted to catch them but it looks like they are yours." He scratched his head.
"Oh no worries you didn't disturb me at all! Would you like to have lunch with us?" You gestured to all the food.
"If you don't mind." He smiled. The boy began to look around, "their must be a way over somehow." He spoke out loud. You stood up and quickly ran to a bush.
"Here!" You called out, "a bunch of kids from a small nearby village have things like these everywhere," the kid watched you pull out a long and sturdy plank of wood, "it's pretty convenient." You placed the plank over the river.
"Well I'd say!" He laughed. Him and his pikachu made it over the little makeshift bridge safely and quickly. "My names Ritchie." He held out his hand.
"(Y/N)." You shook his hand.
Gary
You sat in a burger restaurant eating your order with your little buddy, (P/O/C), sat across from you eating their pokepuff. A bell chimed signalling someone came into the restaurant. You curiously looked up and saw a boy around your age with a lot of teenage girls following behind him to the counter.
"Hey dude, check it out. Rich kid in a place like this? Seems weird don't you think?" You whispered to (P/O/C) as he cutely looked over the seat.
"Alright girls. Let's eat at this big table over here." The boy and his cheerleaders all walked over to a big table. Which was beside yours.
"Hey," You whispered to (P/O/C). He looked up at your from his pokepuff, icing bits on his furr.
"Let's get going." You whispered once more. You were about to get up when the boy from the other table stepped in front of you cautiously-trying not to be rude but eh, it's Gary.
"Excuse me miss. But I was wondering if I could get your name. I've seen you somewhere before but I just can't get my finger on who you are." He looked at you in thought.
You looked back down at your little companion, exchanging a similar thought on if you should tell him who you are. 'Mom always said don't talk to strangers.'
"(Y/N) Ketchum." So much for stranger danger. "I gotta go now, sorry. Bye." You walked passed the boy.
"She's a Ketchum!?" The boy exclaimed which startled his cheer squad.
Barry
"Alright so if this equals that then that mean this should be...ah!" You friend screamed as theywas trying to figure out a math problem. They want to be a pokemon scientist one day and math is often involved in science so they have to learn both subjects and be excellent at them.
"Um, (BFF/N), is there anything I can do to-eh!" You got cut off.
"You can help by shutting up! The math I was just trying to figure out! Ugh! It's left my brain forever!" She face cried.
"Ehh! I'm sorry!" You then got up to go grab yourselves some ice cream across the street to calm you both down.
"Ah!" You yelped as you were tackled to the ground.
"Ah! I'm late! I'm late! Hey stay out of my way-whoa..." You looked up and saw a blonde boy with orange eyes staring at you in awe. You could have sworn you seen him somewhere before.
"I'm sorry. I guess I should watch were I'm going." You groaned as you got up. The boy gulped and stood up quickly, a noticing pink hue dusting his face.
"Huh. Oh no! It's ok! I'm Barry by the way." Barry held out his hand. You grabbed it and stood up.
"Barry? Oh I've seen you on TV." You smile excitedly. You had to admit, watching the pokemon league on TV was quite fun. Especially whenever Barry was battling. He was just so cute! Of course you had a crush on him!
"Woah! Really?" His eyes lit up.
"Yeah! You lost 2 rounds in!" You mindlessly say.
"ugh." Barry falls to the ground.
"Barry?"
【As you've probably noticed, I try to keep a lot up to the readers decision. Like gender of your best friend, your pokemon, hometown ect. But in Paul's, I am writing that (Y/N) does indeed have a Togepi. Happy reading!】
Paul
You watched a boy your age with purple hair battle against your friend Ash with ease.
"Is that all? I should have expected at least a little bit of a challenge. Shame on me for thinking the weakest trainer can put up a fight with pokemon like that." He insulted.
"C'mon Ash! We're wasting our time! Let's just go." You heard your friend Dawn say. Ash looked like he was gonna get into a nasty fight with this 'Paul' guy. You took this as your cue to get going on your own solo adventure-seeing as you didn't travel with them or anyone else.
Your eyes casted to the boy who seemed to have too little patience in the world. "What are you looking at?" The purple haired boy glared at you-if it could somehow get even more harsh. It seemed he had a constant glare on his face.
"Hm. Oh! Um... nothing!" You stuttered out with a heavy blush, "Hey...Hey lets go Togepi." You turned around as your Togepi followed with his cute little 'Togepiiii'.
"What is that thing? It looks so... useless." Paul pulled out his Pokedex.
His comment caused you to turn around. He was too busy engrossed in his pokedex and trying to drown out Ash, Dawn, and Brock's voices. You hesitated but walked back to the boy so you were face to face.
"It's.. a Togepi." You said almost a little too quietly. Paul had just barely heard you. "and it's cute. And kind of scary." You looked down at the little guy running in circles chasing some butterfly pokemon.
"Sure it is." Paul rolled his eyes. "Do you have any other pokemon?" He crossed his arms.
"No." You shook your head.
"That's probably why." He pointed at Togepi before walking away without another word.
Trip
You walked around a city looking at all the cool colours, buildings, Pokemon shops, restaurants and all that other stuff. Your eyes sparkled up at everything you saw.
"Wow! Hey look at this (P/O/C)! Everything's so bright and beautiful and shiny!" You ran around some more, your pokemon right behind you, looking at everything in awe just like you.
Click!
You turned at the sound and saw a boy your age with a camera, facing a cute little cafe. You made eye contact and smiled, "What are you doing?"
The dirty blonde haired boy glanced at you, "Documenting my journey." He puts his camera away, "what are you doing?" He returned the question. He had probably expected you to take some hint and to leave him alone to his business but unfortunately for him, (Y/N) doesnt really work like that.
"I'm here for my next contest." Suddenly you had a bright idea, "if you don't mind, will you come watch?"
He blinked, "What? Why?" He looked almost offended by it. Like why would some random person just come along and ask him to take time away from his day to do that?
"So I can show my mom back home! We don't really have a tv to watch these things. Please! Just one picture! That's all I ask!" You beg.
"What's in it for me? I'm not just gonna do this for free you know-"
"I'll pay for your dinner tomorrow!"
He placed a hand on his hip, now smirking, "and with what money?"
"When I win the contest tomorrow, duh." You smiled.
The boy rolled his eyes, "Fine. Come find me at the pokemon center tomorrow. Then you can get your picture."
Their will be MORE CHARACTERS added - such as;
-Cilan
-Maxie
-Guzma
I will add them at a later date but if you wanna keep track of them + the others easier, this chapter is on Wattpad @/DigitalChito
It is also available on Quotev @/CodexChito however it is OUTDATED seeing as I am rewriting the scenarios so fair warning. Their is plenty of chapters on the Quotev book tho, with the inclusion of Drew from the Advanced Generation series!
Happy reading!!

i can!! the polycule ever. Being between these two is so funny bc i feel like theyd just barter and argue over you lightheartedly sometimes and then other times in private theyre both just loving all over you and eachother and the tonal shift is so funny.
also i accidentally answered this early because tumblr sucks so bad and APPARENTLY pressing enter does that which is why the ask is a screenshot instead of an Actual ask and that'll annoy me but oh well that was all i could do.
i hope you enjoy !
red x reader x blue! ( poly )
i'm not gunna separate the names here probably bc its a polycule if you get one you get both, even if thats more useful for the organization, So.
ღ whether you knew them as your childhood best friends or met them recently - probably on one of their travels or vacations - and somehow wormed your way into both of their hearts - you found yourself dating both red and blue. i'd like to imagine they both agreed to date you simultaneously in a polyamorous relationship because... well, they were already dating, and they're sort of a package deal. they discussed this with eachother and decided it'd be perfectly fine.
ღ blue's gotten older and is therefore a bit less of... how he used to act, being all smug and acting better than anyone else, but his cockiness and confidence will never go away no matter what, and he'll make it clear to you - he's definitely the main PDA giver in the relationship - red does give PDA as well, but mostly handholding and kisses. blue straight up will try to embarrass you with how overbearing and affectionate he is sometimes because he finds it really fucking funny. i like to think he tries to make a game of making the most embarrassing pet names and nicknames he can use for you and so every time you two talk in public he'll just keep coming up with them.
ღ in a related note, blue is also very protective and jealous over you. not with red, obviously, he was dating red and also dating you. just with anyone who tries to flirt with you or tries anything weird, he'll come over and put his hand on your shoulder and start to very obviously state that he's your boyfriend. red doesn't get as jealous or protective as easily, but he will do the same thing sometimes if he senses you're uncomfortable with talking to someone, simply putting his hand on your shoulder and making a little grunt towards the other person, then quickly walking you away from the situation.
ღ red's the tallest of you three unless you happen to be taller than him. he does use this to his advantage... which, is mostly just flexing on blue and you. blue's a close second ( once again unless you happen to be taller than him but shorter than/the same height as red ).
ღ i hope you like attention because both of them will give so much to you. they're pretty mindful in not accidentally excluding you from activities, wanting you to feel comfortable and included in anything the two do unless you outright don't wanna do whatever they're doing at that moment, which is fine.
ღ the funny thing abt this though is that blue specifically is very clingy and wants attention from either, preferably both of you, at all times. if you give red a kiss he'll be like "Hey, where's mine?" and will bother you until you ( both, usually ) give him one.
ღ related to the last point, they're both very adventurous in their own ways - traveling regions often, going to explore anything that interests the two of them... so you'll be moving around a lot, probably. hopefully you're fine with that. if you are, they'll both make it a point to make wherever you visit exciting and to show you the prettiest spots in whatever region they visit next.
ღ i hope you like getting cuddles from both sides, because if you three all choose to sleep together ( they will probably get a big ass bed solely due to this ), then you're usually going to be in the middle. they also both snore in their sleep, but blues is noticeably louder than red. so i hope that doesn't bother you LMAO. blue is also the type of guy who sleeps the fastest out of you all, and also changes sleeping positions a lot and he's probably pushed one of you two off the bed more than once. red takes a while to go to bed, usually waiting until you two have dozed off. he usually is just reading something to wind himself down before bed. he might even have reading glasses but who knows. red himself always makes it a habit to give both of you goodnight kisses before he himself goes to bed.
ღ if you ( or any of them ) are in danger, the other two'll know. it's like a secret sixth sense for them - they'll try to find you ASAP and protect you from any sort of threat, whether it be a strong pokemon or a malicious trainer, or something else. if it's fightable, they'll absolutely woop the things ass if it is a pokemon or a trainer giving you a hard time or even genuinely threatening you.
ღ it's not a guarantee, but i feel like you'd probably have to be a pretty strong pokemon trainer to get their attention in the first place - or someone else of note. but if you aren't, you know the drill. they'll definitely try to nudge you or help you get more pokemon and train them to be a powerful trainer. ... mostly as an excuse for them to have someone to fight on an equal level that wasn't just each other, if you weren't already a strong trainer. they're your personal trainer bfs...
ღ red's the most typically romantic of the group, i'd feel. although his preference for dates is just adventuring, similar to blue, he'll also take you and blue to places with the best sights and views, and is also the one who's most likely to take you all on a dinner date or something. type of guy to give you a bouquet of roses to confess. meanwhile blues the type to give you a random pretty stone or rock he found. ( admittedly, red would do the exact same probably. )
ღ i like to think that you and blue can basically understand anything and everything red says, despite him being mute. basically just seeing his expression and then looking back at someone and going "He says he likes your hat." or smth. Psychic Brain Link /j.
ღ red will scruff you and blue out of awkward or dangerous situations at a moments notice. which is funny bc reds prob a hypocrite and goes into fairly dangerous situations often just due to wanting a challenge or something.
ღ blue and red if you don't wanna go wherever they're going at that time, will be sure to at least leave one or a few pokemon to watch over you and keep you company. all of the two's pokemon are pretty familiar with you at this point, and they're all very happy to be around you :]
ღ they also like to show you any new pokemon they caught or at least saw along the way in other regions if you don't come with. will take pictures and show you.
ღ i like to think all 3 of you, intentionally or not, share clothes with eachother sometimes. its cute.
ღ most iconic polycule of kanto. amen.
#wispy writes#red x reader#blue x reader#gary oak x reader#pokemon#pokemon x reader#polyamorous#i think ppl also use green for blue/gary but i see that as the female protag more. so. actually not that nightmarish of tagging as i though

spaceship
pairings: gary smith x gn reader summary: meeting through shared interests with a lone boy warnings: smoking, swearing, gary smith
✎ masterlist
authors note ❥ ok so not all of the lyrics are complete or in chronological order, but it's to make it make sense but um.. erm... I love spaceship! p.s. gary is prolly ooc but this kinda sorta takes place after he's released from happy volts so hes recovering. he gettin betta!!!!!!!
I've been workin' this grave shift and I ain't made shit
I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly past the sky
The clouds inch closer to each other, closing any view of the blue sky above. The familiar smell of rain closes in, hitting you hard. Nodding your head along with the music that plays in your ears.
Man, man, man
If my manager insults me again I will be assaulting him
After I fuck the manager up then I'm gonna shorten the register up
You grin, writing then pausing. Pressing your pen to your lips you think. Writing again. Your back leaning against the oak tree behind you. The occasional old homeless man asking for a cent. It was all so nostalgic. Adjusting your earbuds you hear a sudden sound. Your head darts to the source of the rather rasp voice.
Let's go back, back to the Gap
Look at my check, wasn't no scratch
So if I stole, wasn't my fault
Yeah I stole, never got caught
They take me to the back and pat me
Askin' me about some khakis
But let some black people walk in
I bet they show off their token blac─
You rip out your earbuds, beaming at the boy. "Is that Ye?" He asks rather timidly for his appearance and posture.
He had a long scar tattered on his left brow and down to his eye. His hair cut sleek and faded towards the edges. It suited him, you thought. You didn't know the boy yet you felt like you've known him forever. Odd.
"Yes, it is." You nod shortly. It seemed a little curt but you didn't mean it. You liked talking about music. It made you feel at peace. When you snap away from your thoughts you acknowledge his awkward stance, you pat the space next to you. He slowly sits, staring at your CD player. "Wanna bud?" You hold up the right earbud, he takes it cautiously. He seemed grateful, timid but nice.
Little did you know, oh you poor soul.
"I was actually looking for my own copy, never fucking found it." He grunted. You smile at this, somehow you were completely wrong about the boy. Odd. I mean, you should've known by the mysterious scar on the left side of his face. "I found this one a year ago, lucky enough to have copped it ya know?" You don't put in your earbud yet, but he does. "How much did you sacrifice?"
─Man, I'm talkin' way past the sky
Let's go, yeah
And I didn't even try to work a job
Represent the mob
At the same time thirsty on the grind
Chi state of mind
Lost my momma, lost my mind
My life, my love that's not mine
Why you ain't signed?
Wasn't my time
Leave me alone, work for y'all
Half of it's yours, half of it's mine
Only one to ball
Never wanna to fall
His voice had a small lisp, you could hear it very faintly over the sarcastic tone he held. You're sure he didn't mean to display it, because he seemed a little too irritated to be sarcastic. "I managed to bargain for 8$." You put your bud in, involuntarily sighing.
─ Police watch me smoke my weed and count my G's
Got a lot of people countin' on me
And I'm just tryin' to find my peace
Should of finished school like my niece
Then I wouldn't finally wouldn't use my piece, blaow
Aw man, all this pressure
I've been workin' this grave shift and I ain't made shit
I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly past the sky
I've been workin' this grave shift and I ain't made shit
I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly past the sky
"I didn't know people here liked music." Right, you thought. People here would much rather listen to screeching butchered pigs than real music. You snicker at your own thought, remembering you had company you turn your head to him. "I ain't from here." Your voice came out rather soft for your liking.
You shrug, pulling out a cigarette. It was a habit that grew on. You stopped doing it so often but you just couldn't help it when the opportunity presented itself. "Do you mind if I blow?" You ask, considering him for a second. He didn't seem like the type of person to care; and to sum it up, he shook his head. In fact, he held his hand out. You grin. "I'm trying to quit, so don't hook me on if you're hooked." You chuckle, pulling out another cigarette for him.
"Where are you from?" His eyes averting to the cigarette then to you. "Arizona." Dear fuck.
"Why here?" His question comes abruptly. "I'm not sure." You answer. It was truthful, you had no clue why. You were sure it was something stupid though. "What's your name?" You take out your lighter, Curious George's face on the center. You hear him snicker. "What?" You twinkle.
"Cool lighter, sweets." That was silly, real silly.
"Thanks, scar." You joked back, he simply shook his head. Sparking it you hold it up to him, blocking the wind with your left hand. He does the same for you, your cheek brushing against his fingers when you lean in. It had no reason being so intimate. Anyways, you smoke in peace. Small pitter patters start to drop from the gloomy sky, the semi-dead grass before you starting to grow dewy. You both give each other a look. "I know a place."
I remember havin' to take the dollar cab
Comin' home real late at night
Standin' on my feet all damn day
Tryin' to make this thing right
And havin' one of my co-workers say "Yo you look just like
This kid I seen in the old Busta Rhymes video the other night"
Well easy come, easy go
How that sayin' goes
No more broad service, cars, and them TV shows
I all had that snatched from me
A and R's and their faculties all turn their back on me
And didn't want to hear a rap from me
So naturally actually had to face things factually
Had to be a catastrophe with the fridgest starin' back at me
'Cause nothing's there, nothing's fair
I don't want to ever go back there
So I won't be takin' no days off 'til my spaceship takes off
You sit under a fort, sitting criss crossed eating Push Ups and Scooby Snacks. He wasn't like most guys you knew, he was different from what you were used to. You liked that. You talked and giggled, rain falling slowly from the sky as the muffled voice of the raggedy tv rattled through the wooden box that you both resided in. It was calm, domestic even. Fun. "Hey I never caught your name." You mumble, looking over at the boy. "Gary." He swallowed his Scooby Snack. "Gary Smith." You grin, stealing some of his Scooby Snacks before exchanging your own name.
I've been workin' this grave shift and I ain't made shit
I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly past the sky
I've been workin' this grave shift and I ain't made shit
I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly past the sky
I want to fly, I want to fly
I said I want my chariot to pick me up
And take a brother for a ride

Electrical - Chapter 2 - Yellow Friend
"I think I'm lost," I mumbled, looking around the forest. I was walking for an hour or so - I think. I sighed and continued to walk around. I soon stopped walking when I heard noises. I looked at some bushes, where the noises came from and slowly walked closer to it.
I swallowed, staring at the bushes, "H--Hello?" I asked and the bushes stopped moving. I looked closer and all of a sudden, a small yellow Pokémon jumped up from the bushes, "Pichu."
We stared at each other for a moment before screaming, jumping a few steps away from each other. But the Pokémon fall down into the bushes and I rushed back over to it. I looked inside and the yellow Pokémon was on the ground, shaking it's head before looking back up to meet me.
It's a small, ground-dwelling rodent Pokémon with pale yellow fur. Its ear-tips, collar, and tail are black and angular. It has pink cheeks, and its tiny nose looks like a dot.
"You're a Pichu," I stated, smiling a little at the cute Pokémon. "Pichu," It said, standing up. It jumped off the bushes and moved away from me. "Wait," I called, making it to turn back to me.
"Can you please help me get back home?" I asked, walking over to it. It pointed at itself as if asking if I was talking to it. "Yes, I was talking to you. Can you please help me?" I asked, kneeling down.
It put its paw under its chin, thinking for a moment and it looked at me. It gave a small smile and nodded, "Pichu." I smiled, "Really? Thank you!" I said. It nodded and I stood up, looking around. "My house is really big, I can't climbed on the trees to see it."
"Pichu," It said before running to a tree and climbing on it. It disappeared up and I looked at the tree, blinking a few times. After a moment, Pichu climbed down the tree. "Pichu!" It said, pointing behind it with a smile. "You know where my house is?" I asked and it nodded.
"Great, can you lead the way?" I asked with a smile. "Pichu," It said, smiling with a nod. The yellow Pokémon started leading the way for me to go back home and I followed it.
After a few minutes, I heard a small cute noises and stopped as Pichu did as well. It looked down at its tummy, covering it with its paws. "I guess you hungry, right?" I said. It blushed a little as it looked up at me with a shyly smile, "Pichu," It agreed, rubbing a paw behind its head.
I smiled and looked around. My eyes stopped at the apple tree and I rushed towards it. I pulled out a red apple and turned to Pichu as it followed behind me. I kneeled down to it, holding the apple, "There you go," I said.
"Pichu!" It said with a big smile before taking the apple from my hand. I smiled, watching it eating. That Pichu is so cute!
"Hey, Pichu," I started as it soon finished to eat. It looked up at me as I continued, "You seem like a female Pichu, you a girl, am I right?" It smiled and nodded, "Pichu!" I smiled, "I knew it! Well, are you still hungry?" I asked. She shook her head and turned to her side, pointing to the direction where we were heading before, "Pichu!"
"Okay, let's go," I said, standing up. We continued to walk towards my house, "I wonder if anyone noticed I was missing," I mumbled to myself. "I guess maybe not." I looked at the ground and met Pichu's gaze, staring back at me. "Pichu?" She asked and I noticed in the female Pokémon's eyes concern.
I smiled down at her a little and shook my head, "We should be close right?" I said and she nodded before looking back ahead. But then, she stopped and looked around, "Pichu?"
"What's wrong, Pichu?" I asked as the mouse Pokémon continued to look around. She suddenly turned serious as she quickly walked behind me and looked at the direction we came from, "Pichu!"
Then, noises came from the distances. "What is that?" I asked. "Pichu," Pichu said, angry. Suddenly, a group of Beedrill came from the trees. "Beedrill!" I called, taking a step backwards. "Pichu!" Pichu called angrily.
The Beedrill came closer, "Run!" I called to Pichu before running but then stopped when I saw Pichu still standing there, ready to attack. I think maybe they know each other - And this wasn't good.
"Pichu!" I called but the yellow Pokémon didn't listen and then, they started to attack each other. A group of Beedrill against one Pichu wasn't right. "Stop it! Leave her alone!" I called to the Beedrill, making one of them to look at me.
I stared at it and then, it went to my direction. I gasped and suddenly, Pichu rushed back to my side and used Tackle on the Bee Pokémon. It crushed to the ground and the other Beedrill came up to it before looking at us.
"Now let's run," I said, pulling Pichu into my arms before taking off. I looked behind me to see the Beedrill were following us. "Pichu..." Pichu said, angrily looking at them before getting itself out of my arms.
"Pichu, no!" I said as I stopped to see her running back to the group. "Pichu!" She yelled. Suddenly, one of the Beedrill rushed up everyone else and pointed it's sting at Pichu as it rushed to the small female Pokémon.
"Pichu, look out!" I yelled as I rushed to the mouse Pokémon. I quickly grabbed the yellow Pokémon to my arms and turned around. Suddenly, I felt something painful on my back and I fell forwards to the ground, holding Pichu tightly into my arms.
"Pichu!"
I hold back a cry of pain and looked down, smiling slightly at the small Pokémon, glad that the female was looking okay. "Pichu... are you alright?" I asked and she stared at me with her mouth slightly opened. "Pichu, Pi..." She said, getting out of my arms only to placed her paws on my arm.
I slowly sat up, trying to ignore the pain on my back. "Pichu," Pichu said, her voice sound concern. "I'm... fine," I lied giving her a small smile. the yellow Pokémon stared at me for a moment before looking back over my shoulder. I looked behind my shoulder to see the Beedrill flying down towards us.
I quickly pulled Pichu back to my arms and slowly got up but then I fell to my knees, crying in pain a little through my teeth. My back was hurt. "Pichu!" Pichu called to me, looking at me with worry eyes. I looked back at the Beedrill as they came closer and then I looked back at Pichu before holding the female tightly into my arms, protecting her from the Beedrill.
Suddenly, Pichu pulled herself from my arms and jumped behind me. "Pichu," I started but then saw that she looked up at the Beedrill with angry eyes, "Pi..." She started, yellow sparks showing through her pink cheeks. "Chu!" She suddenly used a Thunder Shock on all the Beedrill, making me to cover my eyes with my hand.
Soon after that, I heard crushing and uncovered my eyes to see the Beedrill on the ground. I looked down at Pichu and she was breathing heavily. "Pichu, are you okay?" I asked, trying to get up but my back didn't let me and I winced in pain. Pichu looked at me and rushed back to my side, "Pichu."
I suddenly looked up at the sky, a shimmering golden Pokémon was flying between the clouds. "What is that?" I asked. "Pichu..." Pichu said, gazing at the golden Pokémon as well before it disappeared.
We looked back at the Beedrill and saw they were getting back up. "Not again," I mumbled. Pichu stood in front of me, "Pichu!" She said, angrily.
"Emma!" We all froze when we heard Danny's voice.
Suddenly, a Charizard came flying from above and it stood between me, Pichu and the Beedrill. The Beedrill took a few steps back as they looked at the Charizard. It glanced over its shoulder down at me and I smiled, "Hookfang!" I called to Danny's first Pokémon, calling him by his nickname.
"Emma!" I looked over my shoulder to see Danny running through the bushes with his shiny Raticate. He rushed to my side and kneeled down, "What happened? Are you okay?" He asked. I nodded, "I'll be fine."
He then looked at the Beedrill and they looked scared. "What the?" He asked, getting up. "Did you attack my baby sister?" The Beedrill all looked down and I frowned. "Danny, how--"
"Do you remember the group of Weedle that I used to have? Well, they all evolved," He replied, cutting me off. "Oh," That was all I could say. He then looked back at the Beedrill, "You guys, this is Emma. How could you forget the kid that you helped take care of?"
The Beedrill all looked down again, feeling ashamed. "It's okay," I said, "I didn't know they evolved. We all guilty. We okay." The Beedrill all looked relieved by that and I smiled.
Pichu turned back to me, "Pichu, Pichu, Pi," She called, placing her paw on my arm. "Who's this Pichu?" Danny asked and I smiled. "This it a wild Pichu. I saved her and she saved me. We saved each other, right?" I said. The female Pokémon smiled and nodded, "Pichu."
"Well, we need to go," Danny said and sighed. "Mom is worried." I was about to stand up but I forgot about my back and I fell back, crying slightly. "Emma, what happened?" He asked as all the Pokémon gathered around us. "My back... It's hurt," I said.
"Poison sting?" He asked and I nodded. He picked me up, "Let's go home. We lucky you didn't fainted yet," He said but then my eyes slightly grow heavily. "I take it back. Let's go guys. Thank you, Pichu."
I felt we were moving and I looked over Danny's shoulder to see Pichu standing still, looking back at me. I had my hand around Danny's neck and moved it slightly to Pichu's direction before letting my eyes to drop.

Such a Tease
Pairing: (Aged) Gary/Blue Oak x Reader
Summary: After a tragedy, you make the decision to quit your career as a trainer and focus on breeding Pokemon for the general population. You are one of the best in the region. You aren’t expecting the have to deal with your childhood rival and crush suddenly popping back into your life. After all, Gary Oak broke your heart and now you are determined to break his... or are you?
NOTES:*This is my very first pokemon story written many many years ago. I’ve decided to revamp it and see what happens! I hope you enjoy a little Gary / Blue love! I will kinda be combing the anime and game versions and I may or may not have just bought the manga to read... It will kinda be my take on these characters. Ash may become more like Red, but I haven’t really decided yet... I’m just having fun with this!*
Welcome Home
You sigh in exasperation as you leisurely walk down the familiar trail, one you haven’t seen in fifteen short years. The umbrella over your head shields you from the rain as best it can. Your Espeon, Lady, long ago took refuge on your shoulder. To this day she can’t stand getting her feet wet, which you discovered on the day you got her, because it just so happens that it was raining on the day you left too. Honestly, if you had any say in it you wouldn’t be going back at all, but it is the only place that you can afford to get your breeding center off the ground.
The road to Pallet town hasn’t changed much; you just pass by the place where your newly constructed breeding center and home is. You can’t see it for the surrounding trees and if it wasn’t so late you would stop by and check it out, but there will be plenty of time for that tomorrow. You’re very tired since it has been a while since you walked anywhere, usually you would be flying on your Altaria, Ceres, but you wanted to take up as much time as possible clearing your head. So much as happened in such a short time and you needed the mental break. So, you’ve walked most of the way, and honestly, you’re quite sure that it has helped your mental state more than you thought it would. At least in case you meet…him… But he must be married or have a girlfriend and moved to another continent by now…right?
Right???
You come to your old town far too soon. Stopping right before you enter it, you take a deep breath as if you are about to jump a hundred feet into the dark murky water, and possibly never come out. Actually, you really aren’t sure if you are going to make it out of this alive. Lady leaps from your shoulder and lands delicately beside you; eyeing the cold wet ground in obvious distaste. You giggle as you realize that this is actually how you named her and where you did so.
“Well, Lady… Are you ready to go home?”
“Esp…” she murmurs while looking up into your eyes. She never really knew this place, but she would follow you to the ends of the world and back again. You couldn’t have asked for a better friend.
You walk into Pallet Town, hoping that nobody recognizes you, but not ten feet in you hear your name being called. You look around for the owner of the oddly familiar voice as a male, about the same age as you come running toward you. He has black hair and large brown eyes, he’s wearing a black t-shirt with a red vest and jeans along with a baseball cap atop his messy hair.
“(Name!) is that seriously you?” questions the male.
“Umm… yes?” you more or less question.
“It’s me! Ash Ketchum! Don’t you remember me?”
You stare long and hard at the guy before you until an image of a ten-year-old Ash enters your mind.
“Oh!! Ash! Yeah, I remember you! How have you been?” You question him. Although the two of you were never very good friends, you remember he was always nice to you and a sweet kid in general.
“I’m great! How about you? Are you taking a break?”
“Ahh…well… I’m kind of retiring as a Pokémon trainer…”
“WHAT?! No way!!” he yells in surprise, “You’re really good!! I just saw one of your competitions last week.
“Hmmm,” you hum with a nod, “That was my last tournament.”
“Ah! No way! Why?!”
“I’m starting a breeding center.”
“Seriously?! Oh! So you’re the one building that center over on route 1. That’s so cool!”
You merely shrug, “We’ll see how it goes, it’s quite the investment.”
Lady, annoyed at being left on the cold wet ground, leaps back onto your shoulder. You turn and give her a look, “You know… I really wish you would stop getting my clothes wet.” You mutter to her in slight annoyance.
“Espi.” She says while turning her nose up at you as if to say, ‘well I never.’ At least you can say that you named her well.
“Oh! I’m sorry I’m so rude.” You say apologetically, “This is Lady, my Espeon.” Lady turns her intelligent eyes on Ash and nods her head regally as if to say, ‘nice to meet you’ before she goes back to snubbing you with her nose in the air.
All of a sudden a yellow blur comes running at Ash and lands atop his shoulder. You smile as you watch the Pikachu’s ears twitch as he regards you and your own Pokemon.
“Pika Pi!” exclaims the energetic mouse.
“Haha! And this is Pikachu.”
“Nice to meet you Pikachu,” you giggle.
“Pi-ka-chu!” he says happily while waving at you making you giggle.
“Sooo… I was wondering….” Ash mutters casually before exclaiming “DO YOU WANT TO BATTLE?!”
“Oh… Umm… Well… sure, but not tonight. I’m really tired as I just walked a long way, how about in a week or so maybe?” you recover from your shock.
“Awww… so long?” he whines, same old Ash.
“Yeah, I’m sorry, but I’m going to be really busy moving and decorating and I have a full staff to hire so I’m going to have to take interviews. Not to mention getting all of my Pokémon transferred in and getting them adjusted and…”
“Ok ok! I get it you’re really busy! Haha.” Ash interrupts, “If you need any help let me know! Actually, I know a couple of people who want to be breeders, maybe they can help out?”
“Oh really!? That would be great!”
“Great I’ll talk to them for you.”
“Aww, thanks, Ash! You’re such a sweetheart!”
“Thanks,” he mutters embarrassed while looking away.
“Well, I better get going! See you later!” You say while continuing on your way to your old house.
“Bye (Name)!” he waves before he runs back into his own house.
You walk by Professor Oak’s lab barely sending it a glance. Maybe it’s childish to hold a grudge for so long, after all, it was ten years ago, but he really did hurt you. And the fact that you haven’t seen him since is making this even worse. It’s not like you purposefully avoid him, you just literally haven’t seen him in ten years and honestly, you could wait for another ten.
I hope you enjoy this! Please like, reblog and comment to show your love!

Gary Oak had few friends. He also had a few enemies.
Although an impressive Pokemon trainer, he wasn't the gentlemanly type. He wasn't someone the ladies would invite out to Sunday brunch or over for a night of binging movies. Admittedly, he was kind of awkward. It was like he used his arrogance as a barrier against developing real relationships with anyone other than his precious Pokemon.
He wasn't loathed among the community, per se, because there was talent to back his aloof arrogance. All the same, no one other than his mother and grandfather talked about Gary Oak with pride, not even those from small Pallet Town. He was just another skilled Pokemon trainer. He didn't inspire others or use his gifts for any purpose other than to be the best.
And that was fine. No one vocalized any complaints, though they perhaps thought that Pallet Town may have deserved a better representative.
For his fellow Pokemon trainers, he wasn't well-liked. Respected, perhaps, but no one wanted to be friends with him.
Truth be told, this was a lonely existence. His Pokemon made great companions, but they weren't human, and they would never made good substitutes for human contact.

JEALOUSY PART TWO
90s!damon albarn x fem!reader
Summary : After the Brits, y/n finds herself bumping into Liam, an unpleasant conversation leading to awkward news articles.
Warning : use of 'f*g' once, not proof read
MASTERLIST
PART ONE
1995
Y/n directed herself through the smoke filled bar. Her shoes stuck to the wooden floors that seemed to have had an entire larger factory's monthly exports thrown onto them and her body was shuffled carelessly through the hot and sweaty crowds.
It wasn't this busy usually, one of the reasons it was one of her favourate drinking places. The lack of popularity of the dingy pub meant that she could go out with Damon without masses of press commenting on their every move. Unfortunatly, she'd forgotten that there was a rugby match on tonight and therefore the place was filled to the brim with what could only be described as 'the classic english man whose probably called Gary or something like that' and dolled up women, most of who she was contemplating asking where they got their shoes, dresses, earings etc. from.
When she'd finally found herself a table, she was sure Damon and Graham would be done ordering. There weren't that many of them out tonight; just her, Damon, Graham and Alex seeing how Dave had stayed at home to spend time with his wife.
A few minutes past and y/n had the pacience of a toddler so she stood up on the semi-circular booths seat and tryed to spot Damon or Graham within the ridiculous amount of people. Alex had nipped into the toilets with some bird he'd found outside so there was little chance of him coming back very soon.
"Com'on babe, where are you ?"
She muttered under her breath as she glanced around the room. She wasn't good at being by herself so this wasn't the most ideal situation for her. Her lip was starting to be bit, her nails digging into her now scarred palm. Soon y/n found herself tapping her long, y/f/c varnished nails on the circular dark oak table. Why the lads where taking so long, she didn't understand.
It got to a point where she felt like just leaving and going home. She couldn't stand being in the low-cut shirt and miniskirt whilst being completely sober, she needed a burn down her throught. She hadn't thought when she was getting dressed that she'd be left this long with her mind. The short, half pleated blue demin skirt was showing off the vast majority of her legs, the original thought of 'this is so cute' now having become 'what if people think my legs are too big ?'. Her long sleeved top was showing off nearly everything, the thin material letting the texture of her bra be seen easily even under the dimed lights. Now her thoughts where racing around like NASCARS and she felt a strong urgh to go home and cry in fluffy pyjamas whilst watching 10 Things I Hate About You.
"Funny seeing you here ."
As if the night couldn't get any worse !
Y/n tilted her to the left slightly finding the owner of the manc accent. She gave a roll of her eyes, her attitude clearly not being read by the over confident man seeing how he moved himself into the booth.
"Hi Liam."
Her teeth gritted together. It seemed that the Oasis singer had been following her everywhere the past few weeks after the Brits. She'd been considering getting a restraint order, but thought that might've been a tad bit too over the top.
Not only had he came into the booth, but he'd sat down about 30cm away from her, parka coated arm flung over the top of the chair and resting a finger-touch away from her shoulder.
"So, how’s the fag ?"
She turned and glared at him. Not only was he straight up insulting her boyfriend, but he was using slurs as well.
"I don't know Liam, how are you ?"
Y/n expected him to get wound up by her comment, what he did was on the very contary though. He just gave a smile, very un-liam.
"Damon's just getting me a drink and he'll be back soon so I suggest you hurry along, wouldn't want to cause trouble."
Liam shuffled closer to the uncomfortable woman, biting his lip hard and letting his eyes drop past her face.
" Y'ur so fuckin' sexy when you use that accent."
She gave him an obscured look. Her accent was normal according to her, a perfectly normal Whitechappel accent.
"Okay ! I'm going now."
Her hands flew up in a fluster when he went to rest his arm on her shoulder, jumping up and quickly exiting the booth, walking in the direction back to the bar through the crowd of sports fans. As she was walking out, she met up with Damon who was stood in the doorway.
"Dames I've been waiting down there for ages, why where you taking so long ?"
The blonde gave her a confused look.
"I thought you said to meet you at the end of the bar, I thought you just went to the toilets do we where waiting here for you."
"Urgh, forget it."
She rolled over the mistake, it was deafeningly loud and even with accustumed hearing due to concert, anyone can make mistakes.
Y/n was holding onto her goosebumped arms, a few fingers with rings hitting the lights from much further into the room and bouncing it off into a stranger's eyes.
"Could we just leave please. I just wanna go home right now."
Damon had agreed to leave without any pursuation needed. All he could see was that his girlfriend was uncomfortable and wanted to leave, he doesn't like y/n feeling that he controls her in anyway so leaving after one drink was the go to decision for him.
The next morning they had both woken up like they normally would. Neither had to deal with a hangover so the day went along usual.
Y/n had almost forgotten about yesterdays bump in with Liam, arising from her bed with a whine directed to the sun pokeing through the blinds.
If waking up to being blinded wasn't perfect enough, the landline started blaring rings across the rooms. Damon, being Damon, was still dead to the world. He somehow always managed to sleep through everything, often dropping off half-way through award shows and leaving y/n having to deal with people by herself, Gray and Alex being very little help seeing how they where usually hammered by the time the half time performance started.
"Hello ?"
Her voice held a harsh tone to it accidentally.
"Y/n, lovely to see you hunny."
The woman became less agitated when Hazel's voice came through the telephone.
"Damon isn't there is he? I just need to speak to him for a moment."
"Yeah 'course, one sec Hazel."
Y/n dropped the phone, leaving it hanging against the wall.
She ran back to the master bedroom, jumping onto the bed, subquency rocking the body awake.
She straddled over his waist, pecking him on the lips slightly before talking to him, lips still against his.
"Wakey wakey hunny bun."
He gave a groan at the cringe that just came out of his girlfriend's mouth, eyes fluttering open slightly.
"Lemme sleep."
He rolled over onto his side, knocking y/n off and onto the crumpled bedsheets.
"Dames, your mum's on the phone in the kitchen."
"What does she want ?"
"Not a clue,"
She pecked his cheek before jumping off of the bed and exiting the room.
"Get up."
Damon soon followed after y/n, having eventually worked up enough energy to move from under the plush covers.
Whilst he slouched tired against the counter whilst y/n leaned over and tryed to hear the conversation.
"Hiya mum... yeah, yeah it's nice to talk to you again too..."
He turned and widened his eyes in y/n's direction, causing a small giggle to bubble from her because of his over-dramatic agony from talking to Hazel.
She watched as his facial expressions slowly dropped, his face becoming numb. After a few seconds he gave a little hum and ended the call.
"No... thanks for telling me mum... yeah love you too. Bye."
Damon didn't say anything useful when he'd hung up, just grabbing his coat and sliding a pair of adidas on before leaving the flat in a rush. He didn't leave her anytime to question his where he was going or what his mum had said which had made him need to leave so quickly, only muttering a stern 'stay here y/n/n.'
As he opened the front door, a outragous amout of cameras where send flashing manic, causing y/n to jump back in shock.
Damon arrived back at home around half an hour later, a look of fury plastered on his face. His baby blue eyes where suddenly replaced with a dark tone and his brow had lines dinted in the middle of them.
Y/n noticed that in his hand held a copy of four different newspapers.
"What's going on Dames ?"
His eyes jumped up, almost as if he'd forgotten she was actually there in the room. The blonde scratched the back of his neck, teeth gritted and eyes clentched shut like he was begging for everything to just stop it's existance.
"Damon !"
"Gray got in a fight s'all."
She rolled her eyes, jumping up off of the couch where she was watching a recorded episode of Red Dwarf and ripping one of the newspapers out of his hand.
Right there, blasted front page was a murky photo of y/n sat down in the booth from the bar in yesterday night's outfit with Liam Gallagher's arm flung over chair back, above her shoulder.
She felt the heat fall to her face and tears start to work their way into her eyes.
The press always did this ! Since Liam had made everyone known of his little crush, which was probably just apart of his tiff with Damon, known to the world, she'd no longer been viewed by the tabloids as an actual real life human being. No, according to all of them she was just some toy to chuck about and cause drama with. She was constantly labled as a groupie who was only with Damon to get to one of his friends and anytime she was even caught speaking to a guy it was pictured and sold off to the highest bidder to corrupt into a heartless gossip article.
She suddenly jumped to speaking a hundred miles and hour.
"You're not angry with me right ? I didn't do anything, I didn't want him to talk to me !"
She burst into tears, both ones of anger, for the press and Liam, and ones of pain, she didn't want Damon to be mad at her.
Damon's eyes softened.
"No, why would I be angry with you ?"
Y/n waved a hand at the picture smacked slap bang center of all four paper's front page.
"Oh love, I could never be angry at you, especially not for being forced into a situation like that."
He pulled her in to a squashing hug, hoping she wouldn't be able to hear his mumbled words whilst she was smothered.
"Gallagher on the other hand, "

guzma, gary, red, & sycamore + s/o who caught arceus
ask: anon: “is it ok to ask how guzma, gary, red and sycamore react to their s/o when they say n prove they caught arceus ;3c”
a/n: today was cow day or w/e at chick-fa-la so me n my friends hit up 5 chick-fa-las and got free food at every one god bless
guzma:
he’s FLOORED. like, at first he’s like “BET” when you tell him you caught the literal god of the pokemon world. but when he sees it he just kinda... stares at it for a good minute.
is highkey jealous and will mope for a little bit because like... NO ONE can get a stronger pokemon than that, but still will challenge you to a battle.
when he ultimately loses he’ll mope more (probably), but after that he’ll show you off to everyone like “LOOK AT MY S/O THEY CAUGHT GOD HAHA”.
gary/green:
doesn’t believe you at all at first. even when he sees it in front of his face he’s like... “yo this has gotta be a prank.”
when he realizes that they actually did catch it, he’d pretend to be nonchalant about it like “i’m still a better catch though, right?” but his smile would give him away.
he’s pretty happy for you, of course, and would want you to show him all the things your new pokemon can do!
red:
he’s!!! so!! happy for you!! he’s signing so fast you can’t keep up with what he’s saying.
you swear you’ve never seen his eyes get so big as when he first sees the legendary. he’d kiss you on the cheek and pat your head because he is SO proud of you!!
of course, he’d want you to use arceus to train his pokemon. (even as the ex-pokemon champ he doesn’t stand a chance rip).
prof. sycamore:
believes you before he even sees arceus. he knows your strength, so he would never doubt you.
is so interested in the pokemon he would likely ask you to let him study it!! (with your help, of course).
he’s very very proud of you!! he’ll pick you up and spin you around and kiss you all over the face because WOW that’s a big accomplishment!

For the sake of Art
This article came about because of a discussion between two longtime friends who have happened to have built their careers in the wine industry. Each of us reside on opposite sides of the country but speak frequently about all things wine, food and sports.
Earlier in the week during a phone conversation with my good friend Tim, who resides in The Garden State (New Jersey), I made a comment about a piece of art his eldest daughter Ashly had just completed and shared on Instagram @ashmyersdesigns. It was a portrait using spray paint on an 8’ by 8’canvas. The subject of the painting, Gary Vaynerchuk, of The Wine Library, a prominent retail wine shop in New Jersey. Gary used to host a series of video posts where he reviewed wines and sometimes interviewed winemakers as they made their way up and down the east coast on sales trips. The posts originated on Gary’s Wine Library TV platform. There is no argument in the fact that Gary garnered a cult-like following on the internet, while creating his own viniculture vocabulary. Let us not forget his contorted facial expressions while growling “the oak monster” or commencing a tasting with the words, “it’s time for a little sniffy-sniff.” Was it all part of his shtick? Undoubtedly it was but objectively I offer these observations, Gary “Vee” made it fun, he made it informative, albeit based on his opinions. Gary also spoke in an unpretentious and unceremonious bit of banter to anyone who appreciates wine and is willing to spend 15-30 minutes online watching his latest episode.
My colleagues, many of whom are national or regional winery sales managers along with state wide distributor representatives, eagerly awaited the Wine Library TV link featuring the latest installment to arrive in their inboxes. They sat in horror as Gary made negative comments or throws of elation when the scores matched the accolades given to a particular wine in their portfolios. Such is the fault with selling a bottle of wine based on the 100 point rating system.
As I spin through this yarn there are a few disclaimers to put out there. It is not my intent in this post to offer any personal opinions or criticisms about the wines or wineries presented in the two video clips. Now to be transparent, I have never sold wine nor interacted with Gary Vaynerchuk or the Wine Library in a professional setting. My good friend Tim does in fact sell wine to the Wine Library on an ongoing basis. His daughter Ashly “The Artist” does not know Gary Vaynerchuk personally but is simply inspired by his positive attitudes and does follow him on twitter.
What started as an acknowledgement of a talented young artist painting led me to reexamine a wine critics videos from 2006 & 2008. I then compared those same wines using their current vintages, prices and scores supplied by an independent retailer on the opposite coast as a way to illustrate the changes in the Napa Valley wine industry over the last twelve or so vintages. But to further entice the reader I felt the story would have been incomplete had this piece not contained the data supporting those changes.
Embedded in this post are two old Wine Library TV videos that I suggest you view so as to better digest the points being presented. The first is from 2006 and the second released in 2008. The subject of the 2006 video is the tasting of Napa Valley Cult Cabernet Sauvignon.
The wines with the vintage and retail prices per bottle are as follows. I have chosen not divulge the outcome of these tastings so you will have to view the videos for yourself and discover the outcome.

2005 Barnett Vineyards, $52.00
2004 Stelzner “Reserve”, $54.00
2005 Newton “Unfiltered”, $40.00
2005 Cliff Lede, $45.00
As the Wine Library is an east coast retail wine shop with great national exposure I have decided to compare what these wines look like in today’s retail environment by enlisting the help of my friends at the San Francisco Wine Panel, which is the wine tasting group for The Napa Valley Winery Exchange. They are one of the premier west coast based retailers with both national and international customers and exposure. I chose not to include Stelzner in this updated comparison as the label still exists but is under new ownership and the original vineyard has been sold to another prominent Napa Valley producer. There are a couple of wines that did not meet the criteria of NVWE and have been omitted altogether. When a San Francisco Wine Panel review was not available a Wine Spectator review was substituted and noted.
The Wine Library TV reviews and prices are documented in the two videos but I have chosen to enlist the San Francisco Tasting Panels extensive tasting notes and today’s current retail pricing to illustrate and compare how the Napa Valley wine industry has developed over the last 12+ years. In addition there will be a chart depicting the rising cost of grapes by utilizing past and current harvest data from the California Department of Food and Agriculture’s Annual Grape Crush Reports for District 4 to substantiate the numbers.
Present Day Update on Napa Valley Cult Cabernet Sauvignon – Video One from 2006
San Francisco Wine Panel - 98 Points Retail: $383.00 2017 Opus One Proprietary Red Wine Oakville Napa Valley This year’s Opus is at once notably creamy and fruit-rich to the nose, where blueberry, dark plum sauce, mulberry, black currant, fig, sweet tobacco, vanilla, clove, cedar and hints of dry dark rose and laurel all fan-out. The impression of creamy-edged ripeness is mirrored on the palate, where the polished tannins are almost entirely submerged by a wave sweet vanilla, toffee, clove, mace, tobacco and peppercorn that support juicier flavors of blueberry, mulberry and plum. The finish is plush and full and beautifully food-balanced. Everything is deliciously satisfying now, but those with patience can expect four or five years of steady evolution. A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.5% Petite Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 4.5% Merlot & 1% Malbec. - DG
San Francisco Wine Panel - 99 Points Retail: $169.00 2016 Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon “Reserve” To Kalon Vineyard, Oakville Napa Valley In really great years Mondavi almost always makes great Cabernet and 2016 is one of their classic vintages. The aromas are a dense, tightly focused melange of Cassis, black raspberry, sour red cherry, pomegranate syrup, crushed dark rose, dried herb, tobacco, leather, cedar and mace scents poised above a drying mineral undercurrent. Despite all its savory counterpoints the wine remains fruit-centric on the palate, where substantial yet highly polished tannins bring a chiseled raciness to the mouth-feel. The finish is extremely long, fruit dominant and never less than satisfying. Truly dinner-worthy now, it will reward at least six year years of cellaring and should prove long-lived. - DG
Wine Spectator - 91 Points Retail:$274.95 2015 Insignia, J. Phelps Red Wine Napa Valley This red offers lots of spice, cedar, gravel and lead pencil flavors, with a woodiness overshadowing the trim fruit. A Bordeaux style version that begs for cellaring. - JL
Wine Spectator - 95 Points Retail: $180.00 2015 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection Napa Valley This delivers unbridled plum sauce, blackberry preserve and melted licorice flavors, but keeps a smoldering edge for form while picking up alluring black tea and incense notes on the broad finish. There’s a long echo of chocolate adding to this hedonist’s delight. – JL
Present Day Update on Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (Tasted Blind) – Video Two from 2008
San Francisco Wine Panel - 95 Points Retail: $85.00 2017 Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District Napa Valley If still a bit youthfully reserved, this Cabernet shows its class in the focused array of blackberry, Cassis, licorice root, cocoa nib, vanilla, mace, cedar and clove scents that the nose gradually unveils. Tannins and fruit zest tighten the mouth-feel at opening, yet once again airing reveals the wine’s energy, depth and length. If certainly closer to maturity in three years or so, it wants service with fatty meats to show its best at this stage. - DG
Wine Spectator – 90 Points Retail: $59.002017 Newton Cabernet Sauvignon, Unfiltered Napa Valley Solidly built, featuring a core of plum and blackberry notes, threaded with mesquite, mineral and savory hints. The finish shows a twinge of the rustic tannins that mark many 2017’s, but ample fruit keeps them well absorbed. – JM
Wine Spectator – 91 Points Retail: $95.002016 Barnett Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley MMV This mixes bright cherry and plum fruit with dark black currant and licorice snap notes. A briary spine adds energy, while the frame of roasted apple wood slowly melds on the finish. - JM
Questioning the escalating cost of your favorite Cabernet Sauvignon? This graph illustrates the rising price of Napa Valley’s dominant red varietal.
6 Year Average Price per Ton for Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
At the time of this writing only the preliminary numbers from the 2020 Napa Valley harvest are available but I have one more observation to leave you with and that being a list showing the highest dollar amount paid for a ton of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes with coinciding vintage. Preliminary reports show that Napa Valley grape crush for Cabernet Sauvignon was down 43% for 2020.
2020 – A total of 17.8 tons were purchased at $65,919.21 per ton.
2019 – A total of 20 tons were purchased at $50,000.00 per ton.
2018 – A total of 18 tons were purchased at $50.000.00 per ton
Despite wild fires of 2020 raging through the valley creating hardships for owners of vineyards and wineries, winemakers, cellar hands and picking crews alike there was still over 120 tons of Cabernet Sauvignon picked priced at or over $30,000.00 per ton. Perhaps this might be better served in another discussion.
The expression of art can be created in different forms, with paint on canvas being the obvious or in the vineyard and then the cellar where the crafting of wine is refined while both should be admired and enjoyed.

Eeveelutions and Research
Gary Oak x reader
Your POV
I am the childhood friend of Ash and Gary and am now back in Pallet Town to see Gary.
I know he has an Umbreon so I wanted to show him my team.
"Gary! Over here! I have to show you my team!" I called, waving him over to me.
He smiles and walks over,
"Y/N L/N I haven't seen you in a long time! Come over to the lab and I can see your team in the back." He says, pulling me towards Professor Oak's lab.
Once there, the Pokémon in the back all race to me and tackle me into a hug. Laughing, I push them off, eager to show them my team.
Pulling out a pokeball, Espeon pops out.
I throw out another and Leafeon comes out.
Then Glaceon and Jolteon appear.
Flareon is next.
"My last pokemon is one you haven't seen before. It is a special eeveelution." I warn him.
Throwing out my great ball, Sylveon pops out. She runs towards me and wraps me up in her ribbon feelers.
Gary looks at her, completely stunned.
"I have never seen anything like her before. I should let Umbreon out." He says, throwing Umbreon's pokeball into the air. He comes out with a cry, racing to see my team and investigate the new eeveelution.
I just laugh and have him follow me along with the rest of my team to show him the rest of my Pokémon in the PC.
Because Professor Oak is a researcher, I am allowed to leave my Pokémon with him.
Taking pokeballs out of the PC, I release them into the air to show Gary.
"Gary, meet my new friends. Some of these Pokémon are ones you have never seen. I am going to leave these guys with you so you can research them."
Vikavolt comes out, buzzing happily. Pyroar comes next along with Toucannon. Decidueye come out with a coo, smirking at us. Aurorus pops out, freezing the air with cool wind. Of course my Gardevoir comes out, wrapping me in a hug and nodding respectfully towards Gary. Tapu Koko is next, electricity surging off of him. My Araquanid bursts out, running my hand with his bubble head. Guzzlord looks around for food to devour. Florgess just looks at the scenery. And lastly comes Charizard.
"Let's go to the battle grounds. I have to show you something amazing I found while traveling." I quickly say, leaving Sylveon, Jolteon, and Flareon to stay while taking Charizard, Gardevoir, and Decidueye.
We make our way to the field where I tell Decidueye to go in front. I grab my Z-ring and do the movement, unleashing Decidueye's sinister arrow raid. Gary looks stunned.
"Just wait Gary. It gets better."
I then tell Gardevoir to go onto the field. I grab my necklace and say, "Gardevoir, connect our hearts and soul and make our bond greater than before! Mega evolve!"
She is surrounded by light, coming out in a new form as Mega Gardevoir.
I then tell Charizard to get out there. I grab my bracelet and do the same thing. Charizard comes out as Mega Charizard X.
"W-what just happened? Your owl just did a dance and then your Gardevoir became big and your Charizard became black and blue and what just happened?!" Gary screeched, arms flapping wildly.
I felt the need to explain.
"In Alola, there are Z moves you can use using be power of Zygarde. In Kalos, pokemon can mega evolve by connecting in sync with their trainer and becoming one. It is very difficult for the Pokémon to control their new power when they mega evolve and hey must have a strong bond with their trainer."
"Can all pokemon use Z moves and mega evolve?" He asked.
"All pokemon can use z moves but not all can mega evolve. The Pokémon I have that can mega evolve are Charizard, Gardevoir, Lucario, Pinsir, Gengar, Ampharos, Houndoom, Absol, Blaziken, Banette, and Mawile." I answer.
"I would love to see all of their mega forms." He said thoughtfully.
We walked back to the lab, my Pokémon following.
I simply handed him my pokedex, showing him all of my Pokémon's mega evolved forms. He was fascinated and went into the back for research.
"Ummm...goodbye I guess." I called out unsure.
All I got back was an 'uh huh yeah smell ya later loser.'
And with that I walked out into the back, got my eeveelution team back, returned my Decidueye, Gardevoir, and Charizard, and walked out of the lab, only to run back later with Espeon and have her use psychic and drop water on Gary's head before sprinting away like there was no tomorrow.

PKMN ROMS (Josh Dun X Reader)
(B/n): Boy version of your name, if you don't have one just pick a boy's name. (I'm pretty sure Josh doesn't play that much but eh, ask 2AM me)
short almost abandoned drafts: 1/?
-----------
Your point of view
Josh gave me a ROM for Pokemon Red. He told me he made it special just for me. I decided to finally download a gameboy advanced emulator at my smartphone just to see what he has in stored.
The starting screen of Pokemon Red, nothing too out of place, it was Charizard on the screen screeching out some flamethrower moves. I chuckled. This reminds me of when we were children. We would play with out first copy of PKMN RED and he'd call the rival "Butt" but he was nice enough to leave his game name "Green" and our main character's name is still "Red"
I smiled when I started the game, it was the very same Professor Oak, but very different line of text. It's to be expected from him honestly, this could be a haunted game or a creepypasta one for all I know.
Prof Oak: Hello love.
Prof Oak: Eyo, it's J-Dun. Unless you want Prof Oak to call you love from the start
I chuckled and pressed A once more, intrigued.
Prof Oak: Anyways, I'd love it if you finish this game sunshine.
Prof Oak: Oaky dokie, pick your starter. And no, you don't get to change your name.
Prof Oak: (Y/n) is a nice name, your game Persona "(B/n)" isn't
I swear Josh truly put a lot of time and effort on this one. Which is sweet. (B/n) is the name I would choose whenever the character had to be a male one, and Josh always make jokes about me having that name from my life before (Y/n).
I picked Bulbasaur as my starter, like we both did before. I chuckled again when I saw Prof Oak say: "Saw that one coming". Bulbasaur is my favorite starter pokemon and his is Charmander, we'd often debate about the very best at all cost. We'd bring out facts about the manga and the game whenever just to prove our opinions right. (sorry if your fav is Charmander/Squirtle)
"Anyways, here's your rival... guess who it isss?" I couldn't really imagine Professor Oak saying anything nearly as trippy as that one.
"It's me!" The silhouette of my rival wasn't like Green's or Gary's, it was different, so I'm guessing it's personalized as well. I tapped on A button again and it had that evolving pokemon effects on it.
I knew it.
It was a pixelated Joshua William Dun. Wearing his very own merchandise like a shameless marketing manager and his right hand into a peace sign.
Josh: Hey sunshine!
Josh: And I choose Charmander, so, even though I'm meant to fail this battle I'd totally still challenge you
And thus, the battle began. It was like the original game, only the text and the sprite was different. The back sprite didn't showed Red, rather, it looked just like me. It got my short hair and other details, no wonder why I love him.
Josh: Aww, I thought you'd forget how to play Pokemon by now. Just kidding
You won Twenty-One Pokedollars.
--------------------------------------
It's been two days since I've been playing this game. It's early Saturday morning. Josh's been enthusiastic whenever I report my experience with the game. Either I talk about how Brendon's the first gym leader and how Patrick's got Bill's role, he even looked so geeky whenever he talks about how Tyler matches with the Ghost Gym Leader.
Sooner, I defeated the final gym leader in vividian city, which was of course, Josh, following the original Green Battle there. I was about to take my walk on another route, to the rather exciting run at the notorious Victory Road.
Although, I found something... rather odd.
I was just about to walk past the flat world view when I realized the patch of the flowers formed the letter "W"
I walked towards it more.
It was beautiful.
I walked even farther and saw "I" the. double "L", I was about to think of it as another geeky movie reference but then it was different.
It was heartwarming.
"WILL YOU MARRY ME?"
By the end of the horizontal road, it was Josh's sprite, kneeling. One knee touched the ground and the other was high enough to touch his pixellated chin.
I pressed A and there was no lines of text. Just a choice.
Yes
No
What else could I possibly pick?
"YES, A MILLION TIMES YES JOSH!"
I dashed back to bed, seeing his sleeping form awoken and ascended at my sudden outburst but he was pinned back to bed.
"Oh, you finished the game yet?"
"Is that your priority? Me finishing the game and not hearing my answer?" I joked as I pressed myself against him into a tight hug.
"Yes, frick yeah. I love you so much. I could literally marry you in a Gameboy Advance and still love you just as much" Josh smiled like a Cheshire cat when he heard my reply as he jumped off the bed, with his batman pajamas on, and lifted my to the air. The cheerful laughs filled the room as we dance too awkwardly for anyone to cringe at the sight, but we don't care.
"I can't find another woman that'll accept me more than you do, thank God I have you. I love you so much" Josh said after he stopped wiggling me around like a gummy worm, he rested his head in my neck as his arms were just around my waist. I feel so young today.
"Love you too, and I'll say that as many times as I want"

Baby
Requested: no
A/N: Honestly, it has nothing to do with dad!harry.
Pairing: reader & Harry Styles
Words: 1334
Warning(s): swearing
You were on holiday with your parents in Thousand Oaks. Your parents wanted a nice vacation with everything inside the hotel so they chose to stay at the Four Seasons. However, after a week of staying by the pool and having drinks at the hotel bar, you got bored. You desperately wanted to go to the beach but your parents weren’t letting you go, treating you like a baby. As if you were still twelve, no you were a twenty-three year old woman… on holiday with her parents. After three days of asking, they finally agreed to let you go but they would come along with you. You had two options, one was to complain over the fact that they wouldn’t let you go alone, or two, you could just stay quiet and be happy that you were going to see the sea from up close.
The next day it’s was finally time for the beach. You put on your favourite bikini and grab your bag to put in your sandals, towel and your tan lotion. You put on your flipflop, for some reason you always pack shoes that you should walk in even though you are going with your parents. There is a little sprinkle of hope that you can somehow evade your dad’s watch of you 24/7. You desperate want to show them that you are not a little kid anymore but you have no clue how to do this. The drive to the beach wasn’t long but you were happy that you were out of the car, man that was hot. You and your parents find a spot on the beach that wasn’t too crowded and laid your towels down. After sunbathing, you went for a swim in the ocean with your mother while your dad guarded the stuff you had brought. When you got back from your swim, you noticed that your dad fell asleep, your mother was laying on her stomach with her head facing away from you so you used the window that had just opened itself up, to leave for a bit and explore the beach. It wasn’t that you weren’t enjoying yourself but you felt like you needed a little ‘you-time’.
You had been walking for at least 15 minutes when you noticed that this part of the beach seemed less busy than where you and your parents were laying. A few feet away from you, you notice a guy struggling with a whole bunch of watermelons. Being raised to help those in need (take this however you’d like), you ran over to the guy. “Hey, you need any help?” you ask him, scaring him a little almost causing him to drop one. “No, sorry this is a closed set. I can’t let you in here”, he says while he hoists up a watermelon that is escaping his grip. “C’mon you obviously need help. Look I didn’t even know there was anything going on here. I’m not trying to break in, I just wanna help”, you offer again. He sighs in defeat. “Alright, grab this one.” You hold out your hands and he drops the watermelon. He is still carrying three. “Through here”, he nods to the gate. “Hey Gary, she’s with me, thanks.” This Gary figure holds up the rope as we walk underneath. Now you start to notice the scene in front of you, there are vans everywhere, models running around and cameras. “Wow.” Is all you can say. “Right, this set is not even the craziest one I have been to. It’s just Harry, a bunch of models and watermelons on a beach. Last time we had an artist come over and do all these rivers and waterfalls and stuff, and the crazy part is that that video never came out. So much money went into that, holy shit.” This guy just keeps running his mouth. You realise that you never asked for his name. “Oh just drop the watermelon here.” He points to a basket and you carefully place it in there not wanting to ruin it. “Hey, I’m sorry but you are not supposed to be here. This is a closed set.” You hear a voice say, he’s got an accent, you think to yourself. “No worries, Haz. She’s with me”, the nameless guy says to this Haz person. “Hi, I’m Y/N but everyone calls me baby… at least they would if I knew everyone.” Would have sounded so cool but instead your brain had a fart and all you could say was “I carried a watermelon.” Oh my God!, you think to yourself, is that really all you can say right now. During your brain fart you had turned around and once you saw the person that belonged to the voice, you declared to yourself that he was the most gorgeous person you had ever seen in your entire life. “Alright, well please leave as soon as possible. Tai here will show you out.” “Great, well good luck on the video? I guess, is what you are doing here. I’m sure it’ll turn out great”, you say and start to walk away. “No, wait… hold on for a second”, the Haz person grabs your arm and pulls you back. “You don’t know who I am do you?” You shake your head. “Would you actually like to be in the video?” “I don’t know, I actually have to get back to my parents… I’m sure they’re looking for me right now.” “How about just one shot. The ending.” This guy almost sounds like he’s begging you to be in the video. “Alright, one shot. If it doesn’t turn out the way you want it too, I’ll be leaving anyways.” He quickly nods and walks away, realising that you aren’t following and turns around again. “Are you coming?” You quickly make your way over to where he is standing. “Alright, so we are going to be standing here and you’d just have to eat a piece of waterme- wait you’re not allergic are you?” You shake your head. “So just eat a piece of watermelon and smile towards… that camera”, he says and he tries to figure out which camera. “After that guy yells something, you throw away the watermelon and you would have to put your head on my shoulder and your right hand on my stomach and slide down. Would that be okay with you? If it’s not than that would also be okay, and I would ask someone else.” “It’s fine”, you say. You don’t want to objectify the man but he is looking so fine. The tattoos are definitely a turn on. “Okay. It’s a go.” He gives a thumbs up to the camera man, he yells a bunch of stuff. All the people get ready for the shot and you do exactly as you were told. This whole experience felt like a fever dream. You were surrounded by a whole bunch of gorgeous people and all because you carried a watermelon for someone. “CUT!” the camera man yells and everyone cheers. “It’s a wrap!” “Thank you so much for wanting to do this”, he says. You were still not sure on his name, he realises this too. “I’m Harry by the way. Harry Styles.” “I’m Y/N.” You shake his extended hand. “I really have to go now but thank you so much for the experience.”
You run as fast as you can back to where your parents are panicking. They yell at you for ‘running away’, grab their stuff and start walking back to the car. You know that you are going to regret leaving your parents without warning because they are really going to be babying you for the rest of the holiday. However, when you put your hands into the pockets of your shorts, you notice a piece of paper.
Call me sometimes. XXX-XXX-XXX
All the love. Harry x
And all the regret you were feeling, floats away like the waves crashing on the shore.

My Pokemon Moon Adventures Part 16: A Wild Aloak Appears (January 4, 2017)
Even the professors have regional variants
There wasn’t much battling to do today, (instead it’s like a filler episode) so we (Hau and I) went to Malie Garden to look for Kukui. While on our way, one girl with her Cleffa proclaimed today is Pokemon Day (everyday is Pokemon Day, Ailey, if you believe hard enough). When we did find Kukui, we told him about the Ultra Wormhole and all that goodness, and we told him to tell his wife about it.
After I left the garden, Lillie was waiting for me. She wanted to go to the Library to read a very old book, but before we got there, we meet Samson Oak (aka Aloak), Samuel Oak’s cousin (aka Kantoak). $20 says Aloak tells you through the pager not to ride Tauros inside the Pokemon Center the same way Kantoak tells you not to ride your bicycle inside the PMC.
But it’s no surprise Rotomdex knows him
Anyway, Aloak tells us to follow the black brick road (the Alola variant of the Wizard of Oz’s yellow brick road) and the pattern of circle, triangle, square (all black) to get to the library (while you’re at it, tell me how you get to Sesame Street).
Before we can do that, I and my team (sans Jason) had malasada (Jason opted for the takeout instead. Also, I say I because Sabrina wasn’t able to finish hers). We meet up with Lillie, who got lost again (but at least found her way on her own), and Hapu and her Mudsdale. Hapu apparently seems to be taking a liking into Lillie for some reason. I instead went to the community center next door where this kid was supposed to play Sun and Moon but this one kid keeps beating him (hint: is it theelectriwin27) and took part in the weather quiz (it’s pretty easy if you find the hints in the questions) and the flea market.
At the library, we meet a life-long reader (he would be revered in the real world, or at schools) and got TM76 Fly from a tourist who had questions about why we don’t believe in HMs (which is the best thing that has happened). Lillie and I meet Acerola. She gave Lillie a very old book from her dad’s collection about Lunala and also revealed that she is royalty in the region.
Finally, we went to the overlooked part of Ula’Ula aka the Outer Cape. We actually learned about the battle styles and Gester gave us one to start out with. We also had to settle a dispute between Shawn (aka the Baby Boomer) and Chase (aka the Millenial), which is exactly how them boomers and us millenials are locked in a generational battle (sorry gen X). After battling them, Shawn made Chase the new president (actually, Chase felt like he wasn’t ready for the task, but Shawn, who’s actually his dad, pushed him to follow his dream).
Next time, we could take on the next trial over in Mount Houlani or whatever it’s called.

Electrical - Chapter 1 - How It Started
7 years old:
"Emma, wake up honey." I turned to my side on the bed and opened my eyes slightly to see Mom. "Five more minutes," I mumbled, closing my eyes. "Come on, sweetie, you can't sleep until noon. Let's go." I sighed and opened my eyes, setting up.
I stretched my arms and looked around my room. "I'll go make breakfast, get up," Mom said as she started walked out my room. "I'm up. I'm up," I mumbled. I dropped my head to my pillow again and closed my eyes.
My name is Emma Pierce. I'm seven years old now and living with my parents and two big brothers in a place call Pallet Town. My Dad, Alex was a Legendary top trainer but he stopped and decided to become a researcher. He had a laboratory of his own with researchers along side with his Pokémon.
My Mom, Alice was a Pokémon Breeder, I helped her a lot and she taught me a lot about Pokémon. My older brother, Ryan and my big brother, Danny are both Legendary top trainers.
I didn't have friends, well maybe, only one, I used to have a lot, but I stopped been friends with them 'cause they were friends with me only because of my family. There was only one best friend that was with me not because my family. It was Gary Oak. His grandfather, Professor Oak was a very close friend with my family. The professor was my Dad's teacher so Gary and I meet each other when the professor came to visit with Gray at our house.
I had three uncles, the one that was the closest to me was my Mom's younger brother, Uncle John. He was a researcher and he was sometimes working with my Dad.
Suddenly, my eyes opened and I sat up, smiling. I remembered Danny promised to play with me today! I pulled the covers off and jumped out of my bed. Ever since I can remember, my family was always busy so they never had the time to play with me.
I ran out of my room and went downstairs. I walked into the kitchen to see Mom and our cook, Hanna. "Good morning, Hanna," I said to the nice lady. "Good morning, Em," She said.
"Honey, go tell your brothers that breakfast almost ready," Mom said. "Got it," I said before running out of the kitchen. I rushed back upstairs and went to Ryan's room first. I opened the door slightly, without knocking and saw only his arm outside the blanket.
I smiled and looked at the edge of the bed to see his Pikachu sleeping as well. I rushed into the room and jumped on the bed, "Ryan! Ryan, wake up!" I called, jumping on the bed. Pikachu was the first to wake up, "Pika?" the male mouse Pokémon asked, looking around before spotting me jumping on the bed. He smiled, "Pikachu!"
Ryan slowly pulled down the blanket and opened his eyes slightly. "What?" He mumbled. I stopped jumping and sat on the bed. Pikachu jumped on my lap and I hugged him. "Morning, Pikachu," I said. "Pikachu," He said, smiling.
I looked back at Ryan, "Mom asked me to wake you and Danny up," I replied. He sighed, "I'm up," He said. "Wake up," I said before getting off the bed. Pikachu jumped into the bed and I ran out of the room as Ryan sat up.
I rushed to Danny's room and turned around to see Pikachu rushing out of Ryan's room and he followed me. I nodded to the yellow mouse Pokémon before opening Danny's door. I saw he was still sleeping and I rushed into the room. I jumped on the bed, "Danny! Danny! Danny!" I called, making him to sit up straight, wide awake.
Pikachu came into the room, "Pika!" He said, jumping on the bed with me. "What is it?" Danny asked, dropping his head into the pillow as he grabbed the blanket and pulled it to cover his face.
Pikachu and I stopped jumping. "Mom asked to wake you up," I said. He sighed, "I'm up, I'm up," He said and I jumped off the bed. Pikachu hopped on my shoulder and I ran out of the room, "Get up!" I called.
I rushed downstairs and went over to the dinner table, where Mom and Hanna were placing breakfast on the table. I looked around as Pikachu jumped from my shoulder to the floor. "Morning, Pikachu," Mom said. "Pikachu," He said.
"Mom, where's Dad?" I asked. "Oh, he won't be eating with us now, he already eat because he had to go somewhere," She replied. I sighed and nodded slightly. Soon Ryan and Danny came down and we started to eat.
"Are you two going somewhere?" Mom asked as I was helping her with the plates after breakfast. "Yeah," Ryan said and I looked at Danny, "But you promised to play with me today," I pointed out. "I did?" Danny asked, running his hand behind his neck, which he douse when he didn't remember something.
"Yesterday you said that you will play with me today," I said. He stared at me for a moment before his eyes grow soften, "Oh... I did," He said. He kneeled in front of me, "Can we play later? I really need to go with Ryan somewhere. When I'll come back I'll play with you okay?"
I sighed but gave up, nodding, "Okay," I mumbled. He ruffled my hair before getting up. "We'll be back soon," Ryan said before he and Danny walked out of the room. I sighed and glanced down on the plate that was in my hand.
"You okay, sweetie?" Mom asked, placing a hand on my shoulder. I forced a small smile and nodded, looking up at her, "Yeah. Can I go?" I asked. She nodded as she took the plate from my hand, "Yes, go. I'll take care of it."
I nodded before running off. I went outside to see Danny and Ryan talking in front of Ryan's car. Ryan's Pikachu jumped from the roof to the opened window of the backseat and then my brothers got into the car.
I sighed and walked away, wandering into our big garden. I looked around, there were a few of my family's Pokémon yet they all looked busy too. I sighed sadly, I'm a kid! I wanted to play, what a boring life!
I suddenly had an idea! I rushed to the end of the big fences that separated between my house and the forest and looked around. No one was here. I looked up at the fences and started to climbed on it. I got to the end and jumped to the other side. I landed on the ground and looked back to see if one of the Pokémon went over but no one was there.
I looked ahead and rushed into the forest.

Such a Tease: Chapter 1
Pairing: (Aged) Gary/Blue Oak x Reader
Summary: After a tragedy, you make the decision to quit your career as a trainer and focus on breeding Pokemon for the general population. You are one of the best in the region. You aren’t expecting the have to deal with your childhood rival and crush suddenly popping back into your life. After all, Gary Oak broke your heart and now you are determined to break his… or are you?
NOTES:*This is my very first pokemon story written many many years ago. I’ve decided to revamp it and see what happens! I hope you enjoy a little Gary / Blue love! I will kinda be combing the anime and game versions and I may or may not have just bought the manga to read… It will kinda be my take on these characters. Ash may become more like Red, but I haven’t really decided yet… I’m just having fun with this!*
Getting Started The alarm sounds much too soon for anyone’s liking and groggily you roll over and hit snooze. Too bad that doesn’t work. The annoying jingling in your ear continues much to your half-asleep dismay, finally opening your eyes you see the source of the noise at such a forsaken time of the morning it’s coming from Jingle Bells your Chimecho. You sigh in exasperation at her before hauling yourself up out of bed making her promptly stop. You roll your eyes as she merely floats in front of you staring up at you with devious innocence; you swear she has been hanging around Missy, your Mismagius for far too long. You yawn as you make your way past her into the bathroom to get ready for the day.
You had spent all of last night moving into your new center and you were dead. Jingle has been your faithful companion and alarm clock for years at this point, but perhaps she is a little overzealous at times. Especially when it’s five o’clock in the morning and the world isn’t even awake yet.
After you have prepared yourself for a day of decorating, arranging, unpacking and sorting, you head down the stairs to the oversized kitchen, which you soon realize has yet to be stocked. Upon this realization, your tummy comes to the conclusion that it needs something and now; so to alert you to such feelings it lets out a rather large growl. You sigh for the umpteenth time this morning and grab your purse and keys as you head out the door. Lady saunters after you, since she isn’t ever too far behind, taking her sweet time to meander out the door at her dignified pace. You merely chuckle at her and close the door behind her when she finally reaches the outside. As you begin your walk to the town she matches her pace with yours easily.
Looking down at her you say, “Alright Lady dear, how about we stop at that café I saw in town for breakfast then over to the store? We’ll do some shopping to get us in the mood for decorating!”
“Espi!” she exclaims in agreement as the two of you continue through the gardens toward the forest.
You love the location of your breeding center you must admit. It is rather beautiful and so private. A decent size of the forest had been cleared to make room for it, but you made sure that all the wood that was cleared went to building something. Even a natural spring ran through your property down to a pond that was surrounded by trees and flowers. Flower gardens add to the picturesque front of the house which is at least 3 stories high with a basement as well. Of course, your house will also be housing your staff and several of your Pokémon so you had to have a large house.
The back of the house wasn’t anything less breathtaking with herb and vegetable gardens for cooking purposes as well as medical. Off to the right side, a massive barn looking structure would be the home of the Pokémon that you would be breeding and training. The entire grounds were enclosed with a high-security system, invisible to the naked eye and impossible to enter or leave except at the designated locations. Oh yes, it is quite a sight to behold and it better be for what you have invested in it. This is your one shot at your dream. You hope that it works considering all of your earnings, winnings, and savings had gone into this sucker.
The sun played through the canopy of the trees as you and Lady make your way to town. Neither of you cares about the time or the distance, after all, the two of you have been travelers for so long that such things have merely become irrelevant. The relaxing silence is what you need considering the hustle and bustle of the past few days. Getting moved in has been an experience all in itself one you don’t need for quite some time.
The tunnel of trees ends and you are greeted with the sight of Route one and merely ten feet away, Viridian City. The city has grown since your departure several years prior and you rather like the changes made. You allow your memory to lead you to the café you saw while walking through town a few days ago. It’s a cozy place full of big comfy couches and armchairs as well as outdoor tables and chairs under a gazebo. The lighting was bright from the rays coming in through the various windows and skylights. You could see various plants and such growing in the flower beds that surround it giving it a cheery vibe. Upon entering you make your way up to the counter and begin to look up at the drinks posted up on the sign as well as the array of sweet cakes and such that line the pastry case before you.
“Hi! How are you today?” chirps the girl behind the counter, how she chirps at six in the morning you will never know, but appreciate the sentiment anyway.
“I’m good, thanks,” You answer with a pleasant smile.
“So, what can I get for you?”
After you have placed your order and gotten something for Lady as well you make your way over to a table in the corner by a window. You begin to people watch as you sit in a more or less daze just taking in the town.
“Are you new to town?” interrupts a voice beside you.
“Huh?” you question turning to see the girl from behind the counter cleaning a nearby table. She smiles pleasantly and repeats the question.
“Oh, I’m from Pallet town originally, but have been traveling for the past fifteen years. I’ve just recently decided to move back to start my own breeding center.”
“OH!!! So you’re the owner of that new breeding center on Route One! That is sooo cool!!! I’ve always wanted to be a Pokémon breeder just like my brother. And one day I will, but right now I don’t even have a Pokémon.” You frown at how her excitement became disappointment so quickly.
“Well, I do own a breeding center…. And I do need help… And I do have plenty of Pokémon….”
She turns to you her eyes getting very wide with each statement you make.
“Really!? Do you really mean what I think you mean?!?!”
“Well do you have any experience at all with Pokémon?”
“Yeah! My brother taught me a lot!! He’s a great breeder, but he has been traveling for a while trying to get more rare Pokémon to breed. So, I haven’t really got to see him a lot.”
“That’s ok, stop by sometime tomorrow and we’ll see about getting you a job. I’m going to see how you do with some of the Pokémon before I do though ok?”
“Ok!! That sounds great!! Oh! I need to get back to work. Bye, see you tomorrow!!”
You smile and nod at the enthusiastic girl as she runs off behind the counter to serve the next customer. You are a little surprised to find a guy already sitting on the other side of the café sipping his coffee and reading the morning paper with an Umbreon sitting to his right eyeing your Espeon with interest. Lady merely ignores him as she continues to eat the bit of pastry you had given her for breakfast.
“You’re such a heartbreaker Lady,” you chuckle as you glance back over to the Umbreon only to see who his trainer is.
One: Gary Oak.
At the mere sight of him, you are quite sure that every ounce of maturity, intelligence, grace, and confidence that you had collected over the past fifteen years dissolves in a vat of childish hopes and dreams that were crushed beneath his foot. You swallow hard at the feelings swirling around inside of you at the sight of him. Fighting hard against them, you make it a point to get up and leave, slipping your sunglasses on in the process to avoid any unnecessary conflict. Lady sensing your discomfort leaps upon your shoulder and glares both the male and his Umbreon down the whole way out the door. You sigh in relief, letting out the breath you didn’t know you were holding, the moment you are out of sight of the café, your shoulders relax allowing you to calm yourself down. Lady looks up at you questioningly, concern and confusion laced in the waves she is sending you. You look down and smile in reassurance at your best friend, knowing that no matter what happens she will always be there for you.
Shaking off the surprise from seeing the boy who broke your fifteen-year-old heart you continue your day as planned. Lady helps you pick out the decor, sheet sets, and curtains. Thankfully you have already picked out appliances and you don’t need to worry about them. You head to the store to stock up on groceries and giggle when Lady levitates snacks she likes into the cart. You roll your eyes at her antics but allow her to indulge all the same.
A very sincere part of you can’t get Gary out of your head though. You had adored him when you were younger, definitely against your better judgment. He was arrogant and stuck up, but he was smart, cool and confident as well. As he gained success as a trainer you had just fallen for him even more. Five years after setting out on your journey you ran into him at a competition and worked up the nerve to ask him out. Not only had he rejected you but he had laughed in your face. To this day you recall the embarrassment you felt as you ran from his jeers.
Despite the passage of time, you still felt like that fifteen-year-old today when you saw him in the cafe. You groan as you roll your eyes at yourself.
“What is wrong with you?! You went on to be one of the strongest trainers in the region! You are considered one of the best in the business. You don’t care about some stupid boy.”
With a final nod of your head indicating that this internal conversation is over you focus on getting Gary Oak out of your head onto the task at hand. You have a lot to do and you don’t have time to worry about him.

Raju Gari Gadhi 2 Box Office: Makes mark at the domestic BO but fails miserably overseas
Raju Gari Gadhi 2 Box Office: Makes mark at the domestic BO but fails miserably overseas
South Cinema
October 17, 2017, 9:15 am October 17, 2017, 9:15 am
Raqeeb
Raju Gari Gadhi 2 is an exciting film for more than one reason. First of all, it was the first time after Samantha and Naga Chaitanya that she and her father in law Nagarjuna will be seen together on the screen. And secondly, it is their attempt at horror comedy which has been doing really well at the Telugu box office. But, it seems like while the movie has made a mark at the domestic audience, the movie has failed miserably at the US box office.
Raju Gari Gadhi 2 is a sequel to Raju Gari Gadhi which released in 2015. The film has been directed by Ohmkar and produced by Prasad V Potluri under the banner PVP Cinema, Matinee Entertainment and OAK Entertainment. The film stars Samantha in an important role alongside Nagarjuna Akkineni and Seerat Kapoor. While Kajal Aggarwal will be making a special appearance. The music for the movie has been composed by S. Thaman.
Raju Gari Gadhi 2 had a fairly big release in the US having released in 90 screens on October 13, but the movie collected only $80,916 with the premiere shows which is relatively low considering the starcast of the movie. Further by the end of the weekend, the movie raked in $276,202 which is nowhere near Nagarjuna’s Manam.
At the domestic box office, Raju Gari Gadhi 2 has been doing well and has collected Rs 9.52 crores in the Telugu speaking states. Moreover, the movie has also raked in Rs 1 crore from Karnataka.
Raju Gari Gadhi 2 was supposed to be a big one for pre productions since both Samantha and Nagarjuna are at the top of their game and promise a good flick. The movie recently earned Rs 24 crore after they sold their theatrical rights in the global market. But, although the movie has done better than the prequel Raju Gari Gadhi, it has not done a very good job at the pre-business. Nagarjuna’s previous movie Om Namo Venkatesaya was bought for a larger price.
It is a much awaited movie for Nagarjuna Akkineni fans because it is the first time in his career that Nagarjuna will be playing a mind reader someone who has the special gift if reading minds of people who are around him. The film has been certified by the CBFC with an U/A certificate. And since the movie is of the horror comedy genre which usually brings in a lot of family audience, the movie is expected to make it big at the box office.
The teaser and promos of the films have piqued an interest of the audience. The movie also boasts of high technical aspects including very high definition VFX. The Cinematography of the film has been done by R. Diwakaran. Let’s see how the movie fares by the end of the week!
