Disclaimer: ... Oh no... After looking at "Disclaimer," I thought of how to make it a pokemon. Dezclaymar! A third evolution of the Baltoy/Claydol family that looks like a cuneiform tablet and a generally neat pokemon for a writer to have. ... Kill me now.
AN: Yes, the idea of pokemon trainers having real lives, chores, ect. has always fascinated me. It's mostly a question of "How would pokemon fit into the real world?" But this, this is what I see for laundry day and electric pokemon.
THUNK!
"Aw man, not again..." The exasperated trainer reached down among the still-warm clothes in the bottom of the dryer to retrieve the distressed Plusle who had just been forcibly drawn into the open machine.
This happened every single time he did laundry, why did he never remember in time? He would stop the dryer, feel like he was forgetting something, then open the door anyway only to see his little Plusle go flying into the fresh laundry. Accursed static cling.
After a bit more rummaging, he finally found the tiny pokemon and pulled it out, along with the multitude of socks that had adhered to its positively-charged fur. Both of them knew from experience that no amount of tugging would be able to pull the clothes free. The negative charge all but welded them to Plusle. There was only one way to get rid of the socks plastered all over his pokemon's body without ripping them or hurting Plusle, water.
As the trainer grabbed the spray-bottle full of water that his mom kept over the dryer, specifically to get rid of static cling, he came to a realization. Either his mom needed to start buying dryer sheets, or he needed to stop doing laundry.
AN: Aye, the staticy socks would weld to the Plusle thanks to the strong negative-positive attraction. It's just lucky the trainer didn't have a Minun, or the negative-negative repulsion would have thrown the poor critter clear across the room.
