Today, on Days Of Our Island

[hark_a_suicune]

[If you happen to be walking on the beaches of Awesome Island today, there is a chance you'll come across a rather terrifying sight.
It's not the giant, explosive ball. After all, anyone who knows Electrode will tell you it's as much of a derp as its trainer; and it's not the aforementioned trainer seated on said giant explosive ball, either. Can

[is that...

...oh god it is... her secret, guilty pleasure which no one must ever know about...

...TIME TO

TSUN ABOUT IT]

What are you reading?

[hark_a_suicune]

[Well, you're probably talking to The One Person who would never judge you for liking cheesy romance books. A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN!]

A novel I borrowed from the library! It's quite good so far!

[Shame? What is shame?]

[gastlybusting]

...'Quite good?'

[Said without a trace of shame or irony... dear Arceus.]

[hark_a_suicune]

Yes! The main male character could be more assertive I suppose, but I am quite enjoying the rest!

[Seriously Edward stop playing hard to get and sweep the girl off her feet, we want to get to the TRUE LOVE part already]

[gastlybusting]

That would require him to have more personality than a brick wall.

[hark_a_suicune]

It's not that bad!

[He's pretty and mysterious and dashing!
... What do you mean those aren't personality traits?]

[gastlybusting]

[...it's a little different in Pokeverse, okay]

[hark_a_suicune]

... How strange, I don't think I'm reading the same version! This one has no Pokémon!

[Because clearly when confronted to this kind of situation it's best to worry about minor universe differences instead of, you know, unhealthy relationships.]

[gastlybusting]

That's not the-

...It doesn't?

[hark_a_suicune]

I don't think so!

[He flips through the pages to make sure, but... yep, this book is a hundred percent pokémon-free.
... He feels kind of cheated.]

[gastlybusting]

...that just makes them even more abysmal.

[seriously, why would anyone write a version of Twilight without Pokemon? The two or three battles were the only good parts of the series. It's like Pride and Prejudice without Pokemon. What would that book even be without the page-turning Pokemon battles between Liz Bennet and Mr. Darcy? Just... banal conversations?]
