'Lisia is so cool! I love how she handles those awful guys!' Misty said.

'That reminds me of another episode she was in,' Ash remembered. The raven-haired man from Pallet Town put another tape in the VHS player.

2014 - 'My friend wants to shag me'

'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 is having trouble with one of her friends. Please welcome Lisia to the show,' Jerry said.

'Hi Jerry,' Lisia said.

'Hello Lisia. Why are you here?'

'I have this friend, Scott, who works for the Battle Frontier. He has always been kind to me, but I feel like his attitude has changed during the past few months.'

'His attitude has changed? Do you have any examples of this?'

'Well, he just keeps trying to hit on me. Years ago, he asked me to be his girlfriend. When I turned him down, he seemed to accept that. So we had a nice friendship during the past three years. Until recently... He keeps hitting on me and keeps telling me how hot I am and how much he loves me.'

'How do you respond when he tries to flirt with you?'

'At first, I just ignored his flirtatious behaviour. When that didn't help, I told him off. When I call him out, he stops doing it, only to get flirty again a few minutes later, or the next time we meet up.'

'So why are you here?' Jerry asked.

'I want to confront him,' Lisia said. 'I want to tell Scott that I will never be his girlfriend. And that I no longer want to be his friend if he doesn't stop hitting on me!' Lisia answered.

Then, Jerry decided to allow Scott into the studio. A heavy bloke wearing a blue shirt ran towards his friend and tried to hug her, but Lisia stepped back.

'Lisia, there is something I need to know,' Scott said. 'Why didn't you reply to the dickpic I sent you last week?'

'Because I don't want to see unsolicited dickpics,' the recipient of the picture said calmly. 'I don't really enjoy seeing the cock of a guy who I'm not attracted to.'

'Does he have a big willy?' Jerry joked.

'It's pretty small,' Lisia giggled.

Scott grabbed his friend's hand. 'Lisia, I love you! Just give me a chance!'

'Sorry, but I'm just not into you that way,' Lisia said. 'I told you that several times. Why do you keep trying when I rejected you several times?'

'Because I'm such a nice guy!' Scott answered. 'I've been a kind friend for such a long time. I've been there for you and tried to comfort you when you and Crasher Wake broke up two years ago. You owe me romance and sex in return for that!'

Jerry walked up to Scott. 'Why do you believe that Lisia owes you romance and sex in return for being a decent friend?'

'Because females should give a nice guy like me a chance!' Scott said.

'Females? Why are you saying females instead of women?' Jerry asked. 'That is really misogynistic.'

'Because Lisia is a female! I don't see what's wrong with saying that!' Scott defended himself. I just don't understand why she would friendzone me! I'm such a nice guy!'

'The concept of friendzoning is rubbish. It implies that women owe men a relationship or sex in return for being kind,' Jerry explained. Lisia nodded her head in agreement.

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

'Scott, there is something I really need to know,' Lisia said. 'Were you ever really interested in being my friend? Or did you only befriend me because you saw friendship as a gateway to romance and sex?'

'Look, I always thought that you were hot. But I knew that a slut like you wouldn't be into me because of my looks. After all, females never look past the fact that I'm fat, since they only want muscular 10/10 chads.'

'I never had a problem with your body type!' Lisia said. 'I've slept with a few sexy plus size men, women and enbies. And I'm chubby myself, so why would I judge others for being plus size?'

'Well, if you are capable of being attracted to plus size guys, why don't you give me a chance?'

'Because I'm not into you that way! I just never felt that kind of spark between us.'

'You females are all alike! All females are shallow whores who only sleep with muscular chads!' Scott said.

'You're sexist!' Lisia snapped.

'No, I'm not!' Scott yelled. 'Anyways, because I knew that you weren't attracted to me when we just met, I thought that by being a kind, supportive friend, I could get you to eventually fall for me.'

'So you basically just fuckzoned me?' Lisia snapped. 'Like, you only befriended me because you wanted to shag me?'

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

'Well, I thought that you were smart enough to eventually realise that a nice guy like me has way more to offer than all those macho douchebag chads you hook up with all the time!'

'Fuck you!' Lisia snapped. 'You were never a true friend! You are not nice! Your kindness was fake!'

Jerry gave Scott a stern look. 'Do you feel bad about being so manipulative? Sure, you didn't succeed, but you were hoping to manipulate her into sleeping with you.'

'Why would I feel bad? According to the pick-up artists I follow on Facebook, this shit works on some females! This is the only way for a nice guy like me to get laid!'

'This shit works on some women?' Jerry asked. 'Have you ever tried this on other women?'

'Yes, I tried this on all my other former female friends,' Scott said. 'But none of them gave me a chance, because those skanks are only attracted to muscular chads!'

'So your manipulative behaviour never worked on any woman you tried this on?' Jerry asked. 'That may be a sign that it's time for you to stop your silly little nice guy act. You should stop trying to fake a friendship with women you are attracted to.'

'But how am I ever going to get laid if I don't do that?' Scott asked.

'Well, have you ever tried flirting with women in a respectful way? So instead of pretending to be a woman's friend, you could be honest about your actual intentions from the start. Flirt with women without being creepy,' Jerry suggested.

'No, that doesn't work when you're not a muscular gigachad,' Scott sighed. 'Females are so close-minded!'

'Bullshit!' Lisia said. 'There are plenty of men who look like you who got laid because they were flirty and made their intentions clear! I slept with a lot of men who did that.'

'Yeah, but you're a female. You are only interested in macho douchebags,' Scott countered.

'I'm not into macho douchebags!' Lisia snapped. 'I am currently sleeping with Juan, who is a very kind man. He doesn't have a sixpack and he is gender non-conforming. To me, he is way more attractive than the men you call chads.'

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

'Juan? Are you seriously sleeping with that bastard?' Scott screamed. 'You're such a whore for sleeping with him! I am a much better man than he is!'

'He's such a sweetie. A guy who is actually nice, unlike you. And he has an amazing cock,' Lisia said with a dreamy, horny look in her eyes. 'And unlike you, he isn't a manipulative bastard!'

Scott got down on his knees. 'Please! Please just give me a chance! I turned thirty last week! I'm a thirty-year-old virgin. A pathetic thirty-year-old virgin! If you really care about me as a friend, you would help me and take my virginity!'

'Do you really think that guilt tripping is going to work on me?' Lisia asked.

'It's worth a shot,' Scott said. 'But oh well, all females are sluts who only want Chad.'

'Don't you feel ashamed of yourself?' Jerry asked the man from Hoenn.

'Why should I feel ashamed?'

'You are constantly saying misogynistic things about women, you tried to manipulate and guilt trip female friends into sleeping with you and you have a huge entitlement problem!' Jerry snapped. 'I can see why Lisia doesn't want to date you.'

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

'Entitlement problem? What the fuck are you talking about?'

'You clearly feel entitled to sex. You believe that women owe you sex in return for your fake kindness,' Jerry explained. 'Seriously, a woman never owes you sex under any circumstance. You are not entitled to sex.'

'Fuck you, Jerry! You're a cuck! When a man is a really kind friend, a woman owes him sex! Not legally, but morally!' Scott yelled.

'A cuck? Why do sexist incel nice guys like you always use that as an insult to pro-feminist men?' Lisia asked.

'Because those men are total cucks!' Scott said. 'Look at your best friend Will. You totally friendzoned him. And he's actually putting up with it and has been your friend for years without ever making a move! He's such a cuck!'

'He's not into me that way,' Lisia countered. 'So I didn't friendzone him and he didn't friendzone me. We both want to be platonic friends.'

'Are you fucking serious?' Scott laughed. 'Why would Will, a heterosexual man, want to be just friends with a hot woman like you?'

'Because he actually values our friendship, unlike you do!' Lisia sneered. 'Friendship is magic!'

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

Jerry held his microphone close to Lisia. 'Are you done with Scott? Or is there any chance to save this friendship?'

'I'm done. He can go fuck himself. Literally, because no woman is going to sleep with him,' Lisia giggled.

'This proves that once again, nice guys finish last,' Scott concluded. 'No female wants a nice guy like me. Oh well, Lisia is a fat slut who loves riding the cock carousel.'

'Oh, I sure love riding Juan's cock!' Lisia giggled.

Jerry decided to create even more drama. 'Here is Juan!'

An androgynous man with a moustache entered the stage, put his hands on Lisia's exposed love handles and hugged his fuckbuddy. The blue-haired woman felt two hands moving into her crop top. It only took a few seconds until he rubbed her nipples, which got erect. Since she did not wear a bra, her hard nipples were clearly visible through her white top, much to the audience's amusement.

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

'Are you feeling cold, Lisia? Is it chilly here?' Jerry joked.

Lisia blushed. 'Juan is so sexy! Being touched by him is so much FUN!'

Scott stormed towards the Sootopolis City Gym Leader and tried to kick him in the nuts. However, Juan was able to step back and avoid the kick just in time. Then, Jerry's Chikorita intervened with his Vine Whip and moved Scott away from the man who was sleeping with the woman of his dreams.

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

'Hello Juan. I heard that you and Lisia are fuckbuddies. How did that come about?' Jerry asked.

Juan immediately remembered the story. 'It all started when I ran into her after a Contest in Lilycove City. I was there to watch my friend Wallace, Lisia's uncle. Wallace and Lisia were having a battle. Lisia and her Altaria won. After the Contest, I walked up to her to compliment her on how well she trained her Altaria. And that is when I noticed that she wasn't wearing a bra,' Juan explained.

'Was it chilly in Lilycove that day?' Jerry joked.

'Well, she wasn't wearing any knickers either. When I hugged her, she asked me to put my fingers in there. She had a huge wet patch on her shorts for the rest of the evening. That is, until she came to my hotel room and took off her shorts,' Juan laughed. 'Lisia has a very high libido.'

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

'Sex with Juan is FUN!' Lisia squealed like a crazy fangirl. 'He is amazing in bed and super respectful! He is the perfect fuckbuddy!'

While Scott was crying in a corner, Juan started to rub Lisia's chubby belly, much to the blue-haired woman's amusement. After grabbing her love handles, he slowly moved his right hand a little bit lower and slid it into her shorts. When he noticed that his fuckbuddy was not wearing any underwear, he realised that he could easily slide a few fingers into the pleasure zone.

'Oh! Oh! Oh Juan! I'm so wet!' Lisia moaned.

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

Juan took out his fingers and noticed how wet they were. 'Wet fingers are perfect for a Water Pokemon trainer like me!'

'Having fun with Juan is so much FUN!' Lisia squealed. 'My pussy is as wet as a Milotic who is swimming in the sea!'

Then, Jerry announced the final guest of the show. 'I have one more name here. Winona. Who is Winona?'

'Winona is one of my best friends,' Lisia said. 'I met her five years ago.'

'Do you know why she may be on the show tonight?' Jerry asked.

'I have no idea.'

'I don't know either. Alright, let's find out. Here is Winona!' Jerry said.

A purple-haired woman wearing a blue helmet ran towards Lisia and embraced her friend. At first, Lisia was happy to see her friend, but when Winona moved her hands dangerously close to her friend's chest, the blue-haired woman stepped away from the Gym Leader.

Lisia was confused by what just happened. 'Eh… Why did you try to touch my tits?'

'That was an accident,' Winona said, but Lisia was not sure whether she believed that.

'Hi Winona,' Jerry said. 'What brings you to this show?'

'I need to tell Lisia something,' the Flying Pokemon trainer said. 'I've been afraid to tell anyone about this, but I can't hide my true feelings any longer. I need to tell you the truth. And the truth is that, well, I am a lesbian.'

'WE LOVE LESBIANS! WE LOVE LESBIANS!' the audience chanted.

'You couldn't have found a better place to come out. The audience really loves lesbians!' Jerry said.

Winona blew a kiss to the people in the television studio. 'Thank you, audience! I love lesbians as well!'

Lisia hugged her friend. 'I'm so happy that you are out of the closet!'

'So Winona is a lesbian? That's hot!' Scott said. He wanted to walk up to the purple-haired lady and flirt with her and talk about his love for lesbian porn, but Chikorita, Jerry's security guard, used his Vine Whip to ensure that Scott was stuck in a corner of the television studio.

'I'm happy that you are out now!' Jerry said to Winona. 'Is this why you came here?'

'Well, there is something else,' Winona stuttered softly. She looked at her friend, got down on one knee and held a ring in her hand. 'Lisia, I love you! I need you! Not as my friend, but as my wife. I want to marry you!'

Lisia had no idea what to say. Another friend who was into her? Has Winona ever been a true friend, or was she just as nasty as Scott? Would there be a way to reject Winona without ruining their friendship?

'Lisia, please!' Winona begged. 'I want you! Will you marry me?'

The contest superstar from Hoenn felt bad about turning her friend down, but she had no choice. 'Sorry, but I just don't feel that way about you. I love you as a friend.'

'Oh, so you're a bihet! A bislut!' Winona snapped. 'I knew that you were straight and not really bi! All bi women are the same!'

'What the fuck? I'm not straight! I'm bisexual!' Lisia snapped.

'Oh yeah? Then why are you sleeping with Juan, a man, while you just rejected me, a woman?' Winona sneered. 'If you were really bi, you would date a woman when the opportunity is there. You would date me!'

'Just because I'm bi, doesn't mean that I'm into every woman on the planet! I am into some women. Not into all women!' Lisia defended herself. 'I actually had a fun hookup with Koga's daughter Janine last month! She sure knows how to eat pussy!'

'Yeah, but you mostly sleep with men!' Winona snapped. 'Just like most other bi women! Wait, I mean straight women!'

'There are way more straight men than sapphic women. And because of gender roles, those men are more likely to make a move than those women. So of course bi women are more likely to end up dating or hooking up with men than with women!' Lisia explained. 'So if a bi woman is shagging men, it doesn't mean that she isn't into women!'

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

Lisia continued her explanation to Winona. 'I lean a little bit more towards men, but I love women as well. I just see you as a friend and not as a girlfriend!'

'Being a good friend to you for five years is not enough?' Winona cried. 'I love you! Why don't you just give me a chance?'

'You're just as bad as all those incel nice guys!' Lisia yelled. 'You're just as bad as Scott! Did you ever care about being my friend, or did you only befriend me because you wanted something else?'

'Of course I befriended you because I saw you as my future wife! I just didn't have the guts to make a move until today!' Winona explained.

'Fuck you!'

'Oh yeah, I would welcome that. Literally,' Winona giggled. 'I would be better in bed than Juan. I mean, he's a man! He probably can't even find the clitoris!'

'Actually, he can! He makes me orgasm multiple times during sex!' Lisia said. 'Juan is so sexy!'

Juan ran towards Lisia and kissed his plus size fuckbuddy's soft belly. When he wanted to put his hands in her shorts again, an enraged Winona tried to break the two fuckbuddies apart and smacked Juan on the head.

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

'Hey, why did you do that?' Lisia snapped.

'I'm protecting you. I'm protecting my friend against that gross man!' Winona explained.

'I don't need to be protected against him!'

'You just don't realise what a creep he is! You really shouldn't be having sex with him!'

'Why the fuck not?'

'Because I don't think you are bi,' Winona said. 'I think you are gay. You are a lesbian, but you didn't come to terms with that yet. So instead of hooking up with Juan, you should give me a chance!'

'Lisia and Winona having lesbian sex would be pretty hot!' Scott gigged. 'I would watch if that happened.'

'Sorry Winona, but I know that I am bi. I know that I genuinely like men. I mean, I love having sex with Juan! He always makes me as horny as a Rhyhorny using Horny Attack!' Lisia giggled. 'When I see his huge Cuboner, I just want to have FUN!'

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

Jerry giggled. 'I love Lisia's bad puns!'

Winona refused to give up. 'I don't believe you, Lisia! You're just saying that because the patriarchy brainwashed you into thinking that you need men! I would treat you right. Much better than that dick! I know how to please a woman!'

'You know how to please a woman? But two weeks ago, you told me that you're a virgin!' Lisia countered.

'So what? Lesbians like me just know how to please a woman! We're born that gay, eh, born that way!'

'Look, I don't virgin shame. If I am attracted to a virgin, I will have FUN with them. I am just not into you that way!' Lisia said. 'Also, I fucking hate the patriarchy as well. But I genuinely love having sex with hot men. Sure, if I was in a monogamous relationship with a woman, I wouldn't need a man. But that's not the case. Anyways, I love having smexy sex with Juan!'

'So then enter that monogamous relationship with a woman, so you no longer need men and their pathetic cocks!' Winona suggested. 'This is your chance. Be mine and give up on men and their pathetic dicks.'

'No! I don't feel that way about you! I'm sorry, Winona. You're a good friend, but I don't want to date you. I love you as a friend. Don't you think that friendship is magic?' Lisia asked.

'Friendship isn't magic when one of the friends is heartbroken because she can't be with her true love! Just give me a chance and I'll show you how much better I can be than any gross man!'

'Hey, stop it! Lisia already turned you down. Don't you think that no means no?' Juan asked. 'If you would see a man acting the way you are acting, you really wouldn't find that acceptable!'

Lisia wrapped her arms around her fuckbuddy and started making out with him. While enjoying some FUN French kissing, she put her hand in his trousers and grabbed his erect Metapod. Meanwhile, he rubbed her soft love handles and let one of his hands slide into her shorts.

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

Winona stormed over and tried to push Juan away from Lisia. 'Get away from her, you creep! Fuck off or I'll cut your dick off!'

Jerry's Chikorita decided to intervene with his Vine Whip. The Pokemon moved Winona away from the man who was shagging her beloved best friend.

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

Jerry walked up to Winona. 'Look, I can tell that you love Lisia. But when she makes it clear that she isn't interested, why do you keep pursuing her? What's the point of dating someone if they don't have any romantic feelings for you?'

'Because I know she loves me too! She just doesn't realise it yet!' Winona screamed.

'Winona, look. I love you. I fully realise that I love you. As a friend! Which is awesome, because friendship is magic!' Lisia said. 'But if you cannot accept that we are friends and not a couple, this friendship is over!'

Then, Jerry addressed the audience for his final thought. 'Friendship is magic! Most of the time, friendships are completely platonic. However, sometimes, one friend catches romantic feelings, or even goes into the friendship while knowing that they want more than platonic love. It's understandable if you want to pursue a relationship with the friend you love. However, when it becomes clear that your feelings are one-sided and that your friend doesn't feel the same way about you, why would you keep pursuing them? Why would you want to be with someone who doesn't love you back? As painful as it may be, at some point, you have to give up and look for someone who actually loves you back. It may hurt, but that's just the way it is. Until next time, take care of yourself and each other.'
