'Wow, that was pretty crazy!' Misty said. 'I just don't understand how that woman could have the audacity to demand a one-sided open relationship!'

'Yeah, Clair is crazy,' Ash agreed. 'Wanting to shag lots of different people and not allowing Falkner to do anything. She has jealousy issues.'

'Jealousy? That reminds me of another great episode,' Misty said. She grabbed another VHS tape and played it.

2013 - 'My friend's new girlfriend tries to destroy our friendship'

'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. Our next guest has a best friend whose girlfriend views her as a threat to her relationship. Please welcome Lisia to the show,' Jerry said.

'Hi Jerry,' Lisia said.

'Hello Lisia. Why are you here?'

'My best friend Will and I have been friends for ten years. Sadly, his new girlfriend hates me. She doesn't want him to have female friends!'

'Why not?' Jerry asked.

'Because I'm a woman.'

'Did you and Will ever sleep together?' Jerry asked.

'Yeah but, no but, yeah but, no but,' Lisia joked, channelling her inner Vicky Pollard. 'We slept together, but we never had sex. Like, we slept in the same bed a few times, but nothing ever happened between us.'

'And do you want something to happen between you two?'

'No. Sure, we cuddle. And he gives me very relaxing belly rubs! But we never did anything naughty. There has never been any romantic or sexual attraction from either his or my side. He never got a hard Metapod around me and my Cloyster has always been dry around him. We have an innocent friendship. We talk about music, art, literature, fandom, fanfics and that kind of FUN stuff! We talk about mental health and offer each other a listening ear. And I got him into My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. We both believe that Fluttershy is best pony.'

'That sounds like a sweet friendship! It sounds like Will's girlfriend has nothing to fear from you,' Jerry noticed. 'Oh, and I agree. Fluttershy is best pony.'

'Indeed! Sadly, Karen refuses to believe that a woman and a man can be friends and is constantly looking for something that isn't there,' Lisia said. 'It's bullshit! My friendship with Will is pretty much like a friendship between two straight women who are close best friends.'

'So why are you here?'

'I want to confront Karen. She is mean! She is NOT FUN!'

'Alright, I'll let you talk to her,' Jerry said. 'She has been watching backstage. Here is Karen, Will's girlfriend!'

A woman wearing a yellow top stormed into the studio and tried to punch Lisia. 'Fuck you, you little slut! You had sex with Will, didn't you? I know you did!'

Lisia ran around the stage and tried her best to avoid Karen's punch, much to the Elite Four member's amusement. 'Why don't you fight like a real woman, you whore?'

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

'Because I'm a pacifist,' Lisia said. 'I don't want to hurt you.'

'You don't want to hurt me? Well, you already did! You hurt me when you fucked my boyfriend!' Karen hissed, while Jerry's Chikorita used his Vine Whip to keep the furious woman away from the Contest superstar from Hoenn.

'What the fuck? I never had sex with Will!' Lisia snapped.

'Yeah, right!' Karen snapped. 'You two meet up one on one all the time! Why would you do that with a male friend if you're not having sex?'

'Because he's my friend!' Lisia defended herself.

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

'And what about all the physical intimacy? How in Arceus' name can that be innocent?'

'When two straight women are best friends, nobody accuses them of hooking up when they hug and cuddle!' Lisia said. 'Since there is no romantic or sexual attraction between Will and me, what we do is just as innocent.'

'But you're a woman and he's a man!' Karen yelled. 'He's a man! He must constantly have a boner when he's around you!'

'No, he doesn't! Men and women can be friends! Just because he is into women, doesn't mean that he is into every woman. He's into some women, including you. And not into me! Just like how I'm into some men, but not into him!'

'Fuck you! Fuck you and your bullshit excuses!' Karen screamed. 'All straight men get a hard cock around all women! That's why I don't want him to be friends with women!'

'So you want to keep him away from half of the world's population?' Lisia asked.

'Yes!'

'According to your logic, I can't have any friends,' Lisia said. 'I'm bisexual. Does that mean that I can't have any friends?'

'Yes, that's exactly what it means,' Karen said. 'You must want to have sex with all your friends, whether they're female, male or non-binary. You probably try to have sex with everyone you meet! If I was into women, you would be trying to seduce me right now!'

'Seduce you? Hell no!' Lisia said. 'You are NOT FUN! There is no way I would ever sleep with you!'

'You're lying! You're a fat bisexual slut!'

'And you're a fatphobic, biphobic bitch!'

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

Before Karen could storm towards the blue-haired woman from Hoenn, Jerry's Chikorita intervened with his Vine Whip.

'CHIKO! CHIKO! CHIKO!' the audience shouted.

'And why are you wearing such skimpy clothes? You're too chubby for that crop top!' Karen snapped. 'Oh yeah, you're wearing that to arouse Will!'

'No! I'm wearing this because it's comfy. And because the weather is warm!' Lisia countered.

Jerry decided to stir up even more drama. 'Here is Will!'

A purple-haired man from Johto entered the television studio and hugged his best friend. He put his hands on her soft bare stomach, grabbed her love handles and kissed her on the cheek, while Lisia petted his back. Karen stormed towards the affectionate friends, but Chikorita decided to intervene with his Vine Whip.

'Hi Will,' Jerry said. 'I can see that you really love your friend.'

'Yes, I do,' Will said. 'She is my best friend! Of course I love her!'

'Have you ever thought about being more than friends with her?' Jerry asked.

'No. I am just not into her that way. Sure, everyone tries to ship us, but people need to stop looking for something that isn't there!' Will said.

'Well, your girlfriend Karen assumes that you slept with Lisia. Did you ever have sex with your best friend?'

'She's wrong. Lisia and I love to cuddle, but we never did anything naughty,' Will answered.

'You're lying!' Karen screamed. 'You told me that before you and I got together, you and Lisia slept in the same bed on that holiday to the Whirl Islands. Without any pyjamas on! You two even cuddled before you went to sleep! How the fuck is it possible to do that platonically?'

'Well, by not being attracted to each other. By enjoying skin to skin contact without it being about sex!' Will explained. 'I didn't get a boner when we cuddled. And when I rub her belly, I try to make her feel loved. Loved as my best friend!'

'Yeah, and it's FUN!' Lisia agreed. 'And besides, that holiday was before you and Will got together. So even if we did something back then, which we didn't, it shouldn't matter!'

'I don't care! Will is a man and you're a woman! There must be at least some sexual tension between you two!' Karen screamed.

'No, there really isn't! When Lisia and I went skinny dipping last year, I didn't get a boner. There was no awkwardness or lust at all when we hugged. If I was into her, I would've gotten a hard willy!' Will countered.

Jerry walked up to Karen. 'Why can't you believe that someone can be friends with someone of the gender they are attracted to? It really looks like nothing happened between Will and Lisia.'

'Bullshit! Will is a bloke, so he must be into all women!' Karen screamed.

'And what about you? Are you into all men?' Jerry asked.

'That's different!'

'How is that different? You said that Will, a heterosexual man, must be into all women. And you said that Lisia, a bisexual woman, must be into everybody. So according to your logic, doesn't that mean that you are into every man you meet?' Jerry asked.

'No! I can talk to men without getting a wet Cloyster!' Karen yelled.

'If that's true, why is it so hard for you to believe that I can be Will's friend without getting a wet pussy?' Lisia asked.

'Because you're a slut!' Karen screamed.

'Why is she a slut?' Jerry asked.

'She's bisexual, she shows way too much skin and she's got male friends!'

'A slut is a woman who sleeps around. None of the things you mentioned makes her a slut,' Jerry said. 'And besides, even if a woman gets around, there is nothing wrong with that. Slut shaming is sexist!'

'I will slut shame whoever the fuck I want to slut shame!' Karen screamed. 'I hate Lisia, so to me, she's a gross slut! And besides, she has a lot of casual sex! So what's stopping her from sleeping with my boyfriend?'

'Just because I happen to be sexually active with hotties like Juan and a few other sexy people, doesn't mean that I slept with Will! I can be into some men, but not into all men!' Lisia defended herself.

'I don't care! Once a slut, always a slut!' Karen yelled.

'Karen, you still haven't explained why you are being so hypocritical,' Jerry said. 'You believe that a straight man must want to shag every woman and that a bisexual woman must want to shag everybody. However, you say that you don't want to sleep with every man you meet. That doesn't really make sense.'

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

Jerry had a stern look on his face. 'Karen, it really looks like Will and Lisia are just friends. There is no proof that they did anything more than cuddling and belly rubbing.'

'My gut feeling tells me that they got it on! My intuition is always right! You can't argue with a woman's intuition!' Karen insisted.

'That doesn't sound like you have any leg to stand on! Just because you assume something, doesn't mean that it's true,' Jerry said.

'Her intuition is rubbish. She constantly makes assumptions, backs it up with how her gut feeling is always right, and then it turns out that she's wrong,' Will explained.

'Anyways, I have another name here. Lance. Who is Lance?'

'That's Karen's best friend,' Will said. 'She constantly whines about the fact that my best friend is a woman. Meanwhile, she has a best friend of the opposite sex as well.'

'Jerry, wait! Before you send Lance in, I need to ask Will something important!' Karen shouted.

'Okay,' Jerry said. 'What is it?'

Karen gave her boyfriend a death stare. 'Will, it's time for you to choose. It's either her or me. If you want to be my boyfriend, you have to cut the slut out of your life.'

'So you expect him to get rid of his best friend of ten years, while you two are together for a month or two?' Lisia asked.

'Yes. As his girlfriend, I should be the only woman in his life,' Will's ruthless girlfriend said. 'I don't care about your friendship. I don't care about your history. When you are in a relationship, you can't have a friendship between a woman and a man.'

'If someone forces me to choose between a relationship or an innocent friendship, I will NEVER pick the person who is forcing me to choose,' Will said. 'And even if I could look past that, which I cannot... After hearing how you talked to and talked about my best friend today, I already decided that I'm done with you, Karen! I've had enough.'

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

'Fine! Go be with Lisia! She's nowhere as hot as I am!' Karen snapped. 'Go sleep with your fat little slut!'

'I'm not gonna sleep with her!' Will yelled. 'She's my best friend. We're not going to be a couple and we're not going to have sex!'

'Yeah, right!' Karen hissed. 'Why would you choose a friendship over a relationship if there's nothing going on?'

'Because friendship is magic!' Will said. 'Oh, and actually, I am going to sleep with her. Literally, but not figuratively, if you get what I mean. We're going to sleep in the same bed in a hotel room tonight, so we can cuddle. Cuddle, not shag!'

'Yay! Friendship is magic!' Lisia squealed. 'Will is going to give me a soothing belly rub!'

'How could you do this to me, Will?' Karen snapped. 'I thought you loved me! If you really loved me, you would be willing to cut off your best friend for me!'

Will stared his ex-girlfriend in the eyes without showing any emotion. He calmly countered Karen's rubbish. 'Fuck you. If you really loved me, you wouldn't expect me to cut off my best friend for no good reason.'

'He's got a point,' Jerry said to Karen. 'They have been friends for such a long time. You can't just expect Will to give Lisia up like that.'

'I don't care! I hate that slut! The fact that there is another woman in his life makes me feel so jealous!' Karen screamed.

'But you have another man in your life,' Jerry countered. 'Your friend Lance.'

'That's different!' Karen said, but she refused to explain why that was different.

Jerry finally allowed Lance to enter the television studio. A naked man wearing nothing but a red cape stormed into the studio, ran towards Karen, put his hands in her trousers and rammed his tongue in her throat, much to her pleasure. The Elite Four member from Johto moaned loudly, while the Champion clearly had an erection.

When Karen finished making out with her friend, Jerry walked up to the woman from Johto. 'Wait a second, I thought that you and Lance were friends. But it looks like you two are more than friends!'

'That's right!' Karen said with a smug smile on her face. 'I've been cheating on Will since we started dating!'

'WHORE! WHORE! WHORE!' the audience shouted, mocking Karen's infidelity and hypocrisy.

'How long has this been going on?' Jerry asked.

'I've been pounding Karen's pussy every Wednesday afternoon for a year or two,' Lance bragged. 'I've been jizzing in a hot lady, don't you think?'

Jerry had a question for the Dragon Master. 'You know that Karen was together with Will, didn't you? Do you feel a little bit bad about sleeping with a taken woman?'

'No. She's hot, so we're having fun! I don't care if I hurt Will!' Lance had an evil grin on his face. 'In fact, doing it with a taken woman turns me on.'

Will burst out in tears. His horrible ex-girlfriend constantly accused him of cheating, which he never did. And now it turns out that she was actually betraying him since they started dating! How could Karen be so cruel? The Psychic Pokemon trainer sat down in a chair and let the tears flow freely.

After comforting Will with a tight hug, Lisia walked up to Karen. 'What the fuck? So you've been doing exactly that what you were accusing Will of? That is so nasty!'

'That's different! I'm hot and Lance is hot, so of course it would be impossible for us not to have sex!'

'But earlier today, you insisted that it's impossible for Will and Lisia to be friends without having sex!' Jerry countered.

'Yes, because she is a slut!' Karen screamed. 'She wants to hook up with every single person she meets! She would probably sleep with the entire audience if she could!'

'Is anyone in the audience up for a hookup with Lisia?' Jerry giggled. Pretty much everybody in the television studio raised their hands, causing Lisia to giggle.

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

Lisia tried to talk to Karen. 'What the fuck is your problem? Why are you being such a meanie?'

'Because you're a fucking whore! When I have a boyfriend, every woman who is friends with him is a fucking whore!' Karen yelled.'

'That's not very nice,' Lisia frowned. 'Don't you know that friendship is magic? If you valued friendship a little bit more, maybe you wouldn't be such a bitch.'

'My friendship with Lance is magic! He always makes my Cloyster use Surf!'

'That's great! I love my naughty friendship with Juan. Sex is FUN! But Platonic friendship is magic as well! When Will and I cuddle and talk, I just feel loved. I can feel how much he loves me and values me as a friend,' Lisia said.

'I don't care about platonic friends! I'm a hot bitch who just wants to be with hot men who make my Cloyster wet! To me, friendship is about sex! I don't even see Lance as a real friend. We're just meeting up for the sex.'

'So because your friendship with Lance is all about sex, you assumed that the same thing would apply to Lisia and Will?' Jerry asked.

'Yes, I did. Friendship is all about sex!'

'No! Sex is FUN, but an innocent friendship is also FUN!' Lisia squealed.

Jerry walked up to Karen. 'How do you justify cheating on Will? You accused him of cheating, which he didn't do, but you were cheating on him throughout your entire relationship!'

'Will can go fuck himself. If I wanna have sex with another man than him, I'm not going to let a monogamous relationship hold me back!' Karen answered. 'Lance is so smexy!'

'Hell yeah, I'm smexy!' Lance said. He could not resist the urge to turn around and flaunt his micropenis to the audience.

'Well, at least Karen is not picky about men's penis sizes. I'll have to give her some credit for that,' Lisia giggled.

'What are you talking about? Lance is hot!' Karen countered. 'He is so smexy!'

'Lisia is not smexy! He is a meanie with a small cock. He is not sexy or smexy at all!' Lisia giggled. 'Oh, and friendship is magic!'

Then, Jerry addressed the audience for his final thought. 'Friendship can be a beautiful thing, regardless of the genders of the people involved. Yes, romantic or sexual feelings may arise, but this is not always the case. It's possible for a woman and a man to have an innocent, platonic friendship without any romance or lust. As we saw today, a jealous new girlfriend tried to put a stop to her boyfriend's long term friendship. Fortunately, Karen did not succeed. Will may have lost his girlfriend, who turned out to be a cheater, but he stuck to his principles and refused to give up his friendship with Lisia. I commend him for that. If you are watching this show, please treasure your friends and don't take them for granted. Until next time, take care of yourself and each other.'
