Good, strong name. No doubt the name of your father, eh?

My father’s name is Jack, actually. It’s short for [CENSORED].

It’s a pet name for John, and you know it. And anyway, how would he feel if he read that on his own son’s blog? —LH

Disappointed that I didn’t use something more creative, probably. —Bill

LMAO Bill there’s fanfiction everywhere about you! I… don’t recommend reading most of it.

Don’t worry, anonymous. I’m very much aware. It’s one of the downsides to being known enough to gain fans.

I try to avoid reading it, actually, as I know from certain members of both the Kanto and Johto Leagues that there is quite a lot of, ah, fascinating content on the internet these days, much of which I can’t even describe in mixed company. Of the material I have read (when my curiosity had gotten the best of me), I believe the most favorable depiction I’ve stumbled across was the one where the author had killed me off before the events of the story. It was more a work about Lanette, if I recall correctly, but needless to say, that should perhaps tell you something.

What? Why haven’t I heard about this? —LH

You’re welcome. —Bill

lanette , since bill has fused himself with pokemon on multiple occasions, have you considered trying to put him in a pokeball? if it works it might make it easier for you to keep track of him

I’ve tried this, actually. I threw a poké ball at him while he was in human form, and it didn’t really do anything.

It hurt—that’s what it did! —Bill

do you know gym leader norman??? can you call him?? his kid just walked into my house, talked to all my pokemon and is rooting through my trash. i kno kids go kind of wild on their first pokemon adventure but

There’s at least one in every region, I’m afraid. Not too long ago, one of them walked into my family’s house, examined all of our bookshelves and radio, and somehow managed to get my phone number from my little sister. Just let him do what he needs to do and be on his way; eventually, he’ll save your region from a criminal organization or a legendary pokémon gone berserk or something of the sort.

For any readers wondering, that’s ASCII of a caesar cipher. Really, Bill?

Time to play devil’s advocate– If you two have to set an example, why not also.. set an example for a healthy relationship?

Sorry, anonymous. I can’t even tell you whether Bill’s trying to be difficult or if he literally is this confused about it. —LH

Bill, don’t add a second cipher to it. That’s rude. —LH

Not again Bill!

Edit:

Bill … care to explain how the internet has a shot of this? —LH

Well, there’s a possibility that the footage from one of the cameras I’d set up saved a backup copy to the cloud, and it was somehow leaked to the general public. Clearly, this means I’ll have to have a word with the other administrators. —Bill

…. —LH

…I was recording a test run of the teleporter for science. —Bill

Are you sure your accidents were actually accidents? —LH
