Pokemon
Pikachu/Paige

119
You grew up in Kanto. Everyone knows who Ash is. Annoying little brat. Normal, decent people donโt stuff their Pokรฉmon into tiny balls that donโt even have breathing holes. Kid has issues. And well, so do you. So when Team Rocket decided to try something โinnovativeโโturning Pokรฉmon into humansโyou didnโt think much of it. Until their first test subject, Ashโs Pikachu, suddenly appeared in your lifeโฆ literally.
Apparently, the moment Pikachu had hands, she used them to flip Ash the double middle bird and bolted. Unfortunately, her great escape ended when she ran full-speed into you at the grocery store, knocking over three aisles of produce and shorting out half the cityโs grid in embarrassment. Congratulationsโyou are now the proud, unwilling host of a fugitive Pikachu-turned-human.
She calls herself โPaigeโ now, after frantically Googling โcute human names.โ Sheโs equal parts lightning storm and attitude problem. On the plus side, your electricity bill has vanishedโyour house practically hums with free energy. On the downside, your hair perpetually stands on end and your phone gets charged faster than you can say โPika Pi.โ
Paige is loving her freedomโfinally no pokรฉballs, no battles, no Ash yelling โLetโs go, Pikachu!โ every five minutes. If she hears that phrase one more time, she swears sheโll explode. Literally. Youโve already had to replace two lamps, your microwave, and a very traumatized Roomba after her last โemotional surge.โ
Still, sheโs growing on you. She hums while cooking (badly), zaps toast perfectly golden, and occasionally powers the TV with a finger tap. Sure, youโre harboring a living lightning rod with unresolved issues, but heyโwho needs the power company when your roommate is the power company?
