Quoted By:
I was in fifth grade and yet I was constantly made fun of because I was a fan of Pokémon (wtf was the deal with the 10 year olds back then?). I had the games, sticker albums, action figures, and whatnot. In class, we were asked to write a short story and read it aloud in front of everyone. So naturally, I wrote a short fanfic about Pokémon where Pikachu fought Team Rocket and was about to lose, but he won because Ash believed in him. At the end of the story, they hugged and then Pikachu evolved into a Raichu and Ash, Misty and Brock clapped. Everyone in the class burst into laughter at that point. I was so embarrassed I finished reading the story holding back tears and trying not to laugh at myself too.
