'I'm happy for your sisters that they didn't end up with Gary,' Ash laughed.

'I'm happy for Gary that he didn't end up with one of my sisters,' Misty giggled. 'Gary might be a cunt, but even your rival deserves better than my sisters.'

'Your sisters have been on The Jerry Springer Show twice, right?' Ash asked.

'Indeed. And they used to watch it all the time,' Misty said. 'Speaking of which, there is another episode that you and I were in.'

'Which one do you mean?' Ash wondered.

'You know, the one with your buddy from the Orange Islands,' Misty giggled. Then, she inserted a tape in the VHS player.

2011 - 'I proposed to a child'

'JERRY! JERRY! JERRY! JERRY! JERRY! JERRY! JERRY! JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!' the audience chanted, while the talk show host entered the stage in the television studio.

'Hello, welcome to the show. Today, we have a guest who tried to date a minor twelve years ago. Please welcome Rudy,' Jerry said.

'BOO!' the audience chanted, while a brown-haired man entered the television studio.

Rudy sat down on a chair in the studio. 'Hi Jerry.'

'So how did you meet this underage girl?' Jerry asked.

'Well Jerry, I'm the Gym Leader of Trovita Island, one of the Orange Islands. in 1999, a child named Ash challenged me. He was travelling together with his boring male friend Tracey and his hot female friend Misty,' Rudy explained. 'My little sister Mahri, who was six years old back then, was playing in the sea with her Seel. Then, the current suddenly got strong. Mahri was about to drown, but Misty and her Staryu saved Mahri. Then, when I thanked Misty for saving Mahri, I fell in love with her.'

'And how old was Misty back then?' Jerry asked.

'Eleven years old,' Rudy admitted. 'About to be twelve.'

'And how old were you back then?' Jerry asked.

'Twenty,' Rudy admitted.

'BOO!' the audience screamed.

'So what happened next?' Jerry asked. 'Did anything happen between you two?'

'Well, we didn't have sex or anything, even though I would've liked to,' Rudy said. 'The thing is, my little sister took a liking to Misty. She could tell that I was madly in love by Misty. Mahri wanted us to be together. So I deliberately asked Misty to have dinner with me while Mahri was there. Misty looked uncomfortable. Then, Mahri begged Misty to please please please say yes to having dinner with me. Misty didn't want to make a little kid cry by saying no, so she reluctantly said yes.'

Jerry frowned. 'Wow... So you basically used your little sister to pressure a minor into a dinner date?'

'Yes, I did,' Rudy said. 'I deliberately asked Misty out on a dinner date while Mahri was there. I knew that otherwise, she would have said no. Guilt tripping Misty was my only chance.'

'Did you never feel like what you were doing was unethical?' Jerry asked.

'Not really. I was certain that Misty would fall for me and that everyone would live happily ever after,' Rudy answered. 'Sadly, Misty was not interested in me at all. She never showed any attraction towards me. I still wonder why she wasn't head over heels for me.'

'Maybe because you were a little bit too old for her,' Jerry snarked.

'JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!' the audience chanted.

Rudy tried to defend himself. 'Age is just a number.'

'Bullshit. There are laws against adults dating minors,' Jerry snapped. 'Why were you doing this? You can't control who you fall for, but you could've decided to not act on those feelings. But instead, you asked a child out on a dinner date and used your little sister to guilt trip that child into saying yes!'

'Well, I did what I had to do,' Rudy said.

'BOO!' the audience screamed at the perverted Gym Leader.

'Are you still attracted to minors?' Jerry asked.

'No. Misty was the only minor who I ever felt any attraction to. And now that she is an adult, she is still hot,' Rudy said. 'I'm not a paedophile. I just really love Misty.'

'So you're a Mistyphile,' Jerry teased.

'JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!' the audience chanted.

'Anyways, Rudy, you didn't just ask her out on a dinner date. You also asked her something else, didn't you?' Jerry asked.

'That is correct. After the dinner date, I gave her a tour of my Gym. Then, we sat in the living room,' Rudy explained. 'While Mahri was there, I asked Misty to marry me.'

'What the fuck? You asked an eleven-year-old child to marry you?' Jerry asked.

'Yes, I did, Jerry,' Rudy admitted.

'And what did she say?' Jerry asked.

'Misty didn't say anything. She looked really uncomfortable. Mahri was there, so Misty didn't want to hurt Mahri by rejecting me. Then, I told Misty to think about it and give me her answer the next day, after I battled Ash,' Rudy answered.

'And what did she say after you battled Ash?' Jerry asked.

'During the battle, she openly cheered for Ash and not for me,' Rudy said. 'This made Mahri cry and made me lose focus, which is why Ash beat me. Then, after the battle, she talked to me one on one and rejected me,' Rudy moaned. 'She should've said yes. She could've been together with a great man!'

'If you're such a great man, why do you think she said no?' Jerry teased.

'JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!' the audience chanted.

'She clearly had a crush on her dumb friend Ash, that challenger. Sadly, I've heard that they finally got together last year,' Rudy cried. 'I just said that Misty was still hot as an adult. I know that because I saw an episode of The Jerry Springer Show last year in which Ash's Bayleef wanted to shag her trainer. Misty appeared in that episode. She was looking damn fine! Sadly, she finally confessed her feelings for Ash and became his girlfriend during that episode.'

'Well, it sounds to me like she is better off with a dumb friend than with an older man who was lusting after her back when she was a minor,' Jerry said.

'I don't think so, Jerry. And that's why I'm here today. I want to tell Misty that I still love her. I want her to dump Ash and move in with me on Trovita Island,' Rudy answered. 'Misty must be 23 or 24 now, while I am 32, so our relationship would be legal now.'

'Why are you trying to get with a woman who you only met once? A woman who has a boyfriend? There are plenty of other women. Single women,' Jerry said.

'I'm obsessed with Misty,' Rudy said.

'Yeah, it's obvious that you are,' Jerry snarked.

'I'm obsessed with Misty. I love her. After she rejected me, I just couldn't stop thinking about her. Today, the time has come to win her affection! I'm certain that she will leave Ash for me.' Rudy predicted.

'Well, Ash has been watching backstage. Please welcome Ash!' Jerry said.

The young man from Pallet Town ignored Jerry and the audience. Instead, he ran straight towards Rudy and smashed the pervert's nose with his fist.

'You broke my nose, you bastard!' Rudy screamed. The Gym Leader tried to push Ash down on the ground, but the raven-haired young man prevented that by kicking his nemesis in the nuts. When Rudy tried to do the same to Ash, Jerry's Chikorita decided to intervene by using his Vine Whip and moving Rudy away from Ash.

'CHIKO! CHIKO! CHIKO!' the audience chanted.

'Fuck you, Rudy! I hate you!' Ash yelled.

'You're a cunt, Ash!' Rudy responded.

'Rudy, why do you want to steal my girlfriend? Why can't you find someone else?' Ash asked.

'Misty and I are meant to be together!' Rudy said.

Jerry laughed at Rudy's statement and asked him to justify himself. 'If you and Misty were meant to be together, why did you two never get together? If you two were meant to be together, I'm sure she would have tried to find a way to contact you. But she never did, because she was waiting for Ash, who finally became her boyfriend last year.'

'She is mine, Jerry. She is mine. I just know it!' Rudy stated.

Jerry addressed the audience. 'Well, let's see how Misty feels about that. Here is Misty!'

The red-haired young woman from Cerulean City walked into the television studio and immediately kicked Rudy in the balls. Then, she pushed him on the ground and kicked him in the balls again. Rudy refused to fight back, since doing so would make Misty even less likely to date him than she already was.

Jerry's Chikorita refused to intervene. The security Pokemon felt like Rudy deserved this for being a perverted creep. 'Chiko!' he giggled.

'Misty, why did you do that? I thought that we had a special connection!' Rudy asked.

'I never liked you and I never will!' Misty snapped. 'You used your little sister to manipulate me into not rejecting you right away. Did you really think that I would actually fall for you?'

'Yes! I'm sexy. I thought that you would want me,' Rudy said. 'And besides, my little sister Mahri, who just turned eighteen, still believes that we would make a cute couple.'

'I don't give a fucking fuck what Mahri thinks!' Misty snapped. 'I will never be attracted to you, you scumbag! I love Ash!'

'But I am much more romantic than Ash. He is dense and stupid!' Rudy said, hoping to convince Misty that he would be a better catch than the young man from Pallet Town.

'I don't care how romantic you are! I'm just not attracted to you! I love Ash, no matter how dense and stupid he may be!' Misty snapped. 'Fuck you, Rudy!'

'Hey! I'm not dense and stupid!' Ash yelled at his girlfriend. 'I'm a smart guy!'

'Yeah, you're a smart guy,' Jerry said sarcastically, remembering Ash's earlier appearances on The Jerry Springer Show.

'JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!' the audience chanted.

'Yes! Jerry Springer recognises my intelligence!' Ash cheered, not realising that the talk show host was being sarcastic. He did not understand why Misty, Rudy, Jerry and the audience burst out in laughter.

Then, Rudy grabbed a ring from the pocket on his trousers and went down on one knee. 'Misty, I love you. I have been loving you for twelve years. I want you to leave Ash behind and live with me on Trovita Island. I will give you everything you want. I'll treat you right. Will you marry me?'

'No, I will not marry you, you fucking cunt!' Misty yelled. 'I hate you and I will always hate you. And I love Ash!'

While the crying Rudy still sat on one knee, the red-haired woman saw a perfect opportunity to kick the perverted man in the balls. After enjoying the sight of the creep crying and being in pain, she smacked him on the head with her fist and slapped him in the face.

Then, Ash joined Misty. The young man used his right fist on Rudy's cheek, trying to smash some teeth out of the Gym Leader's mouth. This caused Rudy to fight back. The pervert did not want to hurt his beloved Misty, but he definitely wanted to defend himself against the man who was shagging the woman he has been fantasising about for twelve years.

'JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!' the audience chanted.

When Ash pushed Rudy on the ground, Chikorita decided to intervene. The Pokemon moved Rudy away from Ash with his Vine Whip.

'CHIKO! CHIKO! CHIKO!' the audience chanted.

'So what's gonna happen here?' Jerry asked. 'Rudy, can you accept that Misty doesn't want you? Are you going to try to move on?'

'No! I refuse to accept this rejection!' Rudy yelled. 'I will try to seduce Misty again someday. And I will succeed!'

'Rudy, you can't force Misty to love you. If she doesn't want to be with you, she doesn't want to be with you,' Jerry said.

'I don't care if she wants me or not. She is coming home with me1 I will her husband someday! And I will fuck her someday!' Rudy snapped. The man from the Orange Islands was obsessed with his crush and was not going to give up until he fulfilled his dream of being with Misty.

Ash ran up to Rudy and punched him on his mouth, making Rudy lose two front teeth. 'Fuck you, you fucking creep! Misty doesn't like you and she never will!'

'I don't care if she likes me or not, you fucking twat! All she needs to do is come to my place, spread her legs and let me have my way with her!' Rudy snapped. 'If she doesn't like me, she needs to sacrifice her desires and come with me anyways!'

'You are a sick man, Rudy!' Jerry yelled. 'If Misty doesn't like you, you can't force her to be with you!'

'JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!' the audience screamed.

'Yes, I can force her!' Rudy screamed. 'Plenty of men force women to have sex with them. If the woman is being difficult and refuses to open her legs for the man, I don't have any moral objections against forcing her to have sex with me!'

'This is a rape threat. You are threatening to rape Misty if she doesn't voluntarily sleep with you,' Jerry said. 'Do you realise how serious this is?'

'Yes, this is a rape threat. So what? Women need to know their place. If a man wants a woman to do something, a woman should just accept that and do it for the man!' Rudy shouted.

Then, Misty got up from his chair to fight Rudy. She immediately pushed the misogynist Gym Leader, who was down on the ground. Then, she kicked him in the balls five times in a row. 'I have had enough of you, you fucking misogynist cunt!'

'JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!' the audience chanted.

'There is a finale to this episode of The Jerry Springer Show,' Jerry said. 'We have another guest who has been watching backstage. Please welcome Officer Jenny from Rudy's hometown, Trovita Island!'

The Officer Jenny from the island where Rudy lived ran towards Rudy and told him to cooperate. 'You are arrested for trying to seduce a minor back in 1999. And you're also going to face charges for some of the things you said today. Your rape threat is against the law!'

'Fuck you, you lesbo cop! I didn't do anything! You can't prove that I actually proposed to Misty!' Rudy snapped.

'I've been watching backstage. You literally said that you proposed to her. That was a pretty obvious confession,' Officer Jenny said.

To help the officer out, Jerry's Chikorita used his Vine Whip to make sure that Rudy could not run away. Then, the officer managed to get Rudy's arms behind his back and put handcuffs around his wrists.

'Thank you, Chikorita! Rudy is going downtown!' Officer Jenny said.

'Chiko Chiko!' the Pokemon squealed.

Then, Jerry addressed the audience for his final thoughts. 'It's possible that you feel attracted to someone who you shouldn't feel attracted to. Someone who you shouldn't pursue. That's okay. You can't choose who you are attracted to. However, you can decide whether you act on those feelings or not. If you find yourself attracted to a minor, like Rudy did back in 1999, you need to control yourself and not act on those feelings. And if you find yourself attracted to someone who is in a relationship, back off! You are not a slave to your feelings. You can choose not to act upon your feelings when you know that doing so would be immoral. Until next time, take care of yourself and each other.'
