Walking to work going past my Pokemon gym that I’ve owned undefeated for the past week and I see a kid sitting by it obviously battling my Golbat I left to defend it. I ask him, “What team you on?” He looks up, “Mystic”. So I grin, “I’m Valor, and that’s my Golbat you’re battling.” I hold out my hand for him to shake, “Name’s StarRose, gym leader.” He looks down at the username of the Golbat and sees it matches, grins back and shakes my hand, and that is simultaneously the coolest and dorkiest moment in my life ever as I genuinely introduce myself as a pokemon gym leader.
I WALK HOME FROM WORK AND THE LITTLE SHIT HAS TAKEN OVER MY GYM!!!!!
