....Kinda elbowed his way into candidate list for Wake.

[iamthebest]

Elbowed, nothing! I have as natural a talent for attracting fans as I do for battling Pokemon, it's just surprising you didn't make this journal for me sooner.

Long as everything back home will be okay, I'm sure Gramps and the rest of my adoring public won't mind if I take a little break from winning battle after battle for a while. I know I make it look easy, but it's actually a lot of work being the best, you know. And I DO get to have my Pokemon, right?

[Uh, Gary, you get them back eventually but not right off the ba - ]

Great. So what's the hold up? A writer having trouble with the writing part of the application? Pathetic! I bet if you let me handle it I'd do it even better than you could!

Yeah, applications don't open for a while and you're gonna be busy with that NaNo-whatever. But if you really wanna play me then you might wanna make up your mind soon, because I don't hang out with losers. And anyone who's anyone knows that indecisive is just another nice word for loser.


[Canon point is before he lost in the Indigo League and thus got knocked down a few pegs. Meaning he is going to be a major dick and I am sorry for him in advance. :IIII ]

Have a 14 year old Ash.

[shallturnto]

...why can't you be the Gary that isn't a jerk?

Oh lord again I apologize for him :|

[iamthebest]

Well if it isn't Ashy-boy. Late to the party as usual, but at least you actually showed up!

And what's with the get-up, anyway? Got tired of being recognized in public as a loser?

[shallturnto]

Gary, I've been here for months. You're the one who's late.

And I outgrew my old clothes.

[iamthebest]

[Shrug.]

That's because I'm busy training and getting stronger. Not sure what you've been doing with your time. Besides, this lame mundane's the one who finally decided to let me have a say.

[...Now that he thought about it, Ash did look a little taller than he remembered.]

Hm. So, you're finally hitting a growth spurt. Guess our little Ashy-boy had to start growing up sometime.

[Someone hasn't told this one about people being older/younger here because she's too busy hating her life.]

[shallturnto]

Goin' through the Orange Islands, Johto, Hoenn, the Battle Frontier, Sinnoh, and my mun dragged me here when I was partway through Unova.

[siteshare]

[Cue a strange girl who walks right up and sticks her face into the face of this exuberant trainer. The distance between them very uncomfortably close. She tilts her head. ]

[iamthebest]

[Uh. Just gonna back up a step or two and give the girl an odd look. Personal space here. B[ ]

Hey, if you want an autograph or a picture with me, all you gotta do is ask!

[siteshare]

[ She nods extremely enthusiastically, her entire head bobbing up and down. ]

[iamthebest]

All right! Anything for a fan!

[And yup. Gary is just going to sign a little slip of paper that came from out of nowhere because this is dear_mun. Latias aren't you so lucky?]

[siteshare]

[ She takes the piece of paper and tilts her head at it, flipping it over and looking at the blank side. She doesn't seem interested in the one signature. Latias offers the paper back to him, pointing to the pen that he signed with. Didn't he say that he wanted to write? Why would he stop at one word? ]

[shallturnto]

...are you Bianca or Latias?

[siteshare]

[ She blinks. It's her friend! Latias bounds over, taking the trainers hands and hopping up and down in place. ]

[ceruleantomboy]

[ Cue the hands on the hips. ]

I feel bad for whatever place you're going to terrorize this time.

[iamthebest]

Terrorize? If anything that place'll be lucky if it can even hold my attention! Sure it's got that Bending thing, but there aren't even any new Pokemon to catch!

[ceruleantomboy]

They have you there, so that means they are going to be terrorized.

[ Huff huff. ]

Besides, there's no telling you'll even have a fan club there.

[iamthebest]

Nah, my lame mun's apparently not allowed to bring the girls in with me. Shame, but I'm sure I'll form up a new fanclub in no time flat once they see what a real Pokemon trainer can do!

[ceruleantomboy]

[ She is officially sticking her tongue out at him now.

All the maturity. ]

Oh yeah? And what's that? Destroy people's bikes?

[shallturnto]

Yaknow, I'm actually a little worried for him. Because someone's probably going to punch him in the face at some point.

[ceruleantomboy]

[ .... Wait, when did you grow? She rests an arm against his shoulder and leans against Ash. ]

D'you think it would knock some sense into him?

[shallturnto]

Nah, he'd probably whine about how they only punched him because they couldn't beat him in a battle.

[noneedtoworry]

...The Poetry guy's Grandson~! It's been a while, hasn't it?

(Dawn, he's from a totally different time which you should catch onto.)

How are your Pokemon doing? What about your research? Oooh oooh, can you do a little poetry for me right now? I'm sure you can do your best even if it's not up to par with the Professor's!

[shallturnto]

Uh, Dawn. This is Gary from before he decided to stop being an annoying jerk.

[noneedtoworry]

(...So he's more like a brat than anything else? Oh, and Ash totally ruined Dawn's 'turn to say hi and High Touch' moment.)

Really? Is that why he seems a little shorter?

[iamthebest]

A while? Unless we've battled before or you're another one of my fans, it's probably been a little longer than a while.

[Shrug~!]

I guess I just have so many fans I tend to forget which ones are which!

[He's just... gonna pause at that last bit though.]

Poetry was always more Gramps' thing than mine, though.

[noneedtoworry]

Hehe, actually I'd say I'm more the Professor's fan but you are a great trainer!

But yeah...the last time we saw each other you were in Sinnoh and you helped us out against Team Rocket.
