Pocket Monsters | Pokemon – All Media Types
About a meta, angsty LiveJournal fusion of Misty/May/Dawn/Serena who feels like she’s blown her shot at being really famous and getting it on with Ash. Waaah.
You know that one coworker who can’t stop talking about how she used to have it better decades ago, despite a steady job and a social life? That’s Dismay, who thinks she’s older than she actually is. (Kinda like Ash.)
Or you know that one voice actor who shows up to every comic-con, trapped into making money off your childhood when they should’ve been a famous singer or Oscar-winning actor?
Meet Dismay, Ash’s former companion on Pocket Monsters, the Kantonese show that was everywhere when you were growing up, encouraging kids to spend money in hopes of becoming the best, like no one ever was. Replaced by producer demands to “keep the show fresh”, she realized that all that time running up and down Kanto was the best years of her life. Now a corporate coordinator for Silph Co., the same company that produced Pocket Monsters, she spends her 9-to-5 dispatching Pokemon Coordinators and setting up Contests… and wishing she was back in the field, back in the spotlight, and back in the arms of the only person she loved.
