Lit Ash Ketchum. Penned by Meza. MDNI 🔞
Oh, pff, hey!

[He chuckles, leaning his hands on his knees to watch the Toedscool orbit him.] You do look like a Tentacool! Never seen one of those guys run, though.

And, of course I do! I don't know where my starter is right now, but I've got the rest of my team, so . . . !

Not quite, though; the Raichu was still roughly two and a half feet tall. He was closer to Rick, but only so much.

At least they were both orange rodents.

“ Us? We come from, uh . . . Well, they call it Earth. Or, the Pokémon World. Either one, really. ”

“ Ah, I've met my share of big nutjobs. I'll keep an eye out for this DeDeDe! ”

. . . Huh. Why did that name sound familiar.

Oh, well.

“ Thanks for the warm welcome, Rick! The name's Ash; Ash Ketchum! And, this is my partner, Peeks. He's a lil' more your speed. Er, height. ” 🔽

He can catch this Water Shuriken

“ It's cool. You seem like a nice lady, and I'd hate if we came to blows because I can't keep my mouth shut. ”

He crouched to extend a hand to the Mobian. No snide commentary, no jokes, or signs of diminishing her.

“ The name's Ash Ketchum. It's nice to meet you, uh . . . ? ”

What was her name?

“ 𝙄 𝙉𝙀𝙑𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝘼𝙄𝘿 𝙊𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙒𝙄𝙎𝙀. ”

Weird. Charisma is normally his thing! It must be that Pallet Town-brand sass surfacing . . .

Which might be the dumbest thing to nearly get him killed yet!

“ You're gonna score your hubby just fine. 𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀.ᐟ Did I manage to 𝙉𝙊𝙏 get three strikes . . . ?💧”

“ Hey, wait a sec—! ” He raised his hands in front of him. As tough as he was, he had the vague feeling the pink... porcupine(?) could flatten him if she wanted to!

“ I'm just 𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 that you don't look ready to keel over before you find someone! 💦 ”

A princess, huh?

Yeah, that'll keep you from sharpening your smack talking game, if everyone has to play nice with you, I'd bet!

For what it's worth, you still come off real tough. And, that's usually enough to ragebait someone who can't handle that.

Hah! It's an art you really have to work at.

When you grow up in a small, rough-around-the-edges town, you learn to talk smack and take it. You don't do too well, otherwise. And if your enemy's got a hot temper and you don't, that's already half the battle.

𝙄 𝙜𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙨.

Personally, I think stunting on 'em is enough.

“ . . . They can travel around in a Poké Ball! ”

A Bipedal blue frog appears, wearing his tongue as a scarf!

“ See? There's no way Greninja's fitting in my pocket. ”
