>>43622533My headcanon is that Erika is secretly the most manipulative and controlling girl in the Pokemon series. Her whimsy and easygoing personality is just a front for something far more insidious. She doesn't beat you, or humiliate you, or abuse you, but over time she slowly but inexorably trains you to never want anything or anyone but her. She just kind of takes over your life in the most gentle and caring way. She uses aromatherapy and olfactory conditioning to drive everything home and you and everyone else are none the wiser.
Sometimes you ask her if it's alright to go home and visit your family for the holidays. The conversation starts off innocuous enough and you might think she's being unreasonable by telling you that you're not allowed to see them, but before you know if she's cradling your head tenderly while your face is pressed between her breasts and then all you can think about is how lovely she smells and how soft this feels and how lovingly her fingers run through your hair and you doze off wondering why you even wanted to spend any time away from her in the first place.
