'Brock is such a creep!' Ash said.

'That may be, but the worst people on the planet are my sisters!' Misty argued. 'Do you remember that Jerry Springer episode about Tracey's Marill?'

2016 - 'My brother-in-law's Marill needs to lose weight!'

'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 wants a chubby round Pokemon to lose weight. Please welcome Violet to the show,' Jerry said.

'Like, hi Jerry,' Violet said.

'Hello Violet. Why are you here?'

'Well Jerry, my like, sisters Daisy, Lily and I put on water ballet shows with like, Pokemon at the Cerulean City Gym. Daisy is married to like, this guy named Tracey. Lily and I like, want Tracey's Marill to be a part of our new show! Lily was supposed to like, be here as well and come on the show together with me, but she is like, back in the hotel room. Last night, she like, went partying. Her hangover is like, too bad to come on the show today.'

'That's a shame. Anyways, I've been to one of your water ballet shows once, back in the early 2000s,' Jerry remembered. 'I loved watching all the Pokemon, but I didn't like those three sisters who obviously treated the Pokemon like shit.'

'Like, thanks,' the blue-haired Sensational Sister said sarcastically. 'Anyways, we like, want Tracey's Marill to perform with us. But there is a problem.'

'What problem?' Jerry asked.

'Marill is like, a fucking fatass.'

'Why is that a problem? Marill are supposed to be fat. All Marill are fat!' Jerry said. 'I am 72 years old now. And I have never seen a skinny Marill.'

'I like, don't care! Marill needs to like, lose weight. He needs to like, look fabulous. And a fat Pokemon cannot be like, fabulous.'

'Why not?' Jerry asked. 'I don't see why a fat Pokemon cannot be fabulous. In fact, a fat Pokemon can be fatbulous!'

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

'Because like, beauty standards dictate that you have to be like, thin. Marill needs to be put on like, a diet,' Violet said.

'Have you discussed this with Marill's trainer, your brother-in-law?'

'He like, says that Marill doesn't even like, want to do this ballet thing. And he like, refuses to force Marill to lose weight! Why is he being so, like, stubborn?'

'Maybe, just maybe, because he accepts his Pokemon the way they are?' Jerry suggested.

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

'I like, don't care!' Violet screamed. 'Anyways, I am here to like, demand that Tracey forces Marill to like, lose weight and perform with us.'

'That doesn't sound very kind, Violet. Anyways, let's find out how Tracey feels about this. He has been watching backstage. Here are Tracey and his Marill!'

A young man with long, black hair entered the studio. He held a blue, mouse-like Pokemon in his arms. The Pokemon jumped out of his hands and decided to blow some bubbles towards Violet.

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

Violet stormed towards Tracey and tried to kick him in the nuts. 'Did you like, tell Marill to do that? I bet you like, did, huh?'

Since men were not allowed to hit women on Jerry's show, Tracey could not defend himself. However, Marill decided to step in and used his Iron Tail to smack Violet on the ground.

'Well done, Marill!' Tracey complimented his Pokemon.

'Marill Mar!' the mouse squealed.

While Chikorita, Jerry's security guard, held the violent Violet with his Vine Whip, Jerry walked up to Tracey. 'How do you feel about all this?'

'I think Marill is fine the way he is. Yes, he is fat. So fucking what? All Marill are fat. That's just the way it is.'

'And what about those aquatic ballet shows? Does Marill even want to participate in those?' Jerry asked.

'No, he does not,' Tracey said, while Marill shook his head. 'My wife Daisy actually asked Marill last week. But it's not his thing.'

'But Tracey, Marill is like, as fat as Eric Cartman!' Violet complained.

'I don't think that's true, Violet. Cartman isn't fat. He's big-boned,' Jerry said, much to Marill's laughter. The round Pokemon is a massive South Park fanboy.

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

'Marill is pro-body positivity and so am I,' Tracey said. 'We need to accept people and Pokemon the way they are, whether they are fat, skinny or anything in between.'

'Like, fuck you, Tracey!' Violet said. 'Everybody should be like, skinny! I am going to tell Daisy that she like, has to divorce you over not forcing Marill to lose weight and like, not forcing him to perform in our shows!'

Jerry decided to bring out the blonde-haired Sensational Sister, who entered the stage and punched Violet in the stomach.

'Hey, why did you like, do that?' Violet asked. 'You are supposed to be like, on my side!'

'Don't like, tell me to divorce Tracey because he like, refuses to do what you want!' Daisy hissed. 'I like, agree with beauty standards for humans. But I refuse to like, dump Tracey for like, not forcing Marill to go to fat camp and like, not forcing him to perform with us.'

Tracey wrapped his arms around his wife. 'Being obsessed with beauty standards for humans is not my thing, but I am so happy that you accept Marill the way he is! I love you!'

'I like, love you too!' Daisy said. 'And I like, love Marill! He's like, such a cute round little buddy! If he doesn't want to like, perform in a ballet show, he like, doesn't have to. I normally like, agree with Violet and Lily. But this time, I like, cannot bring myself to like, do so.'

'Aww, that's a sweet, wholesome moment,' Jerry said.

'Like, fuck you, Jerry!' Violet screamed. 'You are like, supposed to call Tracey out on his like, selfishness! And make like, fatphobic jokes about Marill!'

Marill decided to try out a move he learned recently. And so, he used his Hydro Pump and shot water towards the mean Sensational Sister, smashing her against the wall of the television studio. 'Marill Marill!'

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

Daisy tried not to laugh, but failed to do so and ended up rolling on the floor laughing. She felt bad about laughing at her sister, who was soaking wet, but she felt like her sister had it coming. 'That was like, hilarious!'

Violet felt betrayed. Her own sister? Why did her sister suddenly take Tracey's and Marill's side? Her sister Daisy, who always loved beauty standards and enforced them on everybody. Why would a chubby or fat Pokemon suddenly be the exception? Just because the Pokemon was her husband's Pokemon?

'Daisy, like, why are you so inconsistent? You always like, body shame fat humans. Especially like, fat women. Why are you suddenly like, being so nice about Tracey's Marill being fat?' Violet asked.

'Because like, chubby round Pokemon are cute. Do you like, remember that wild Spheal we saw on holiday last year? That Spheal was like, adorable!' Daisy remembered. 'And the same goes for like, Marill, who is like, fine the way he is.'

Then, Jerry addressed the audience for his final thought. 'Body shaming is wrong, no matter whether the victim of fatphobia happens to be a human or a Pokemon. All Marill are fat, just like how all Spheal are chubby. But even if one particular Marill or Spheal would be fatter than other Pokemon of the same species, that is irrelevant. It is never okay to body shame someone or force them to lose weight. Not your body, not your choice. Anyways, Tracey's Marill seems healthy and looks very similar to other Marill. There is no need to put him on a diet. Expecting Tracey to do that to his Pokemon is wrong. Until next time, take care of yourself and each other.'
