strilonde road trip au: every so often they pull into a gas station and the strider boys descend onto the unsuspecting snack aisle
its just Hal and Dave piling snacks into Dirk’s arms while they occasionally shout at Roxy and rose over by the slushie machine “WHAT DID YOU GUYS WANT” “PEANUT BUTTER CUPS” “THANKS”
Their backseat slowly accumulates terrible hats and at one point it’s just all of the strilondes wearing hats with phrases like “foxy grandpa” and “my eyes are up here”
They have to stop at a motel for the night and both roxy AND Hal claim the bed with the most pillows
Dirk: where am I supposed to sleep
Roxy and Hal simultaneously: the shower
I’ll be honest one of my favorite headcanons is that the pokedex is not scientifically accurate whatsoever but rather the result of sending ten year olds out into the world to gather your research for you
this… this makes a lot of sense.
Wait, wait… maybe, then, the Alolan Pokédex Rotomdex is written by the Rotoms themselves. Since Pokémon, no matter the species, can apparently understand each other despite 90% of their vocalizations either being some variation of their name or just plain animal noises, it’s safe to assume the Rotoms have first- or second-hand knowledge of what’s actually going on.
So, the reason the Alolan ‘dex info is so “uncharacteristically” dark/blunt is because, while in other regions, it’s everything filtered through the yet unburdened view of pre-teens (and the professors that enable employ them), in Alola it’s just your Rotom going, “Oh, that guy? Hoo boy, wait’ll you hear this one.”
“see this dude? no one has ever seen it take a shit”
