How I Met Your Mother. A Pearlshipping Fic

Dad's home

hey peeps. Now I know you are wondering why I'm writing this and not working on the work you all know me for. Well, I have something to share with the lot of you so I hope you understand. You see, I suffer from depression. On certain days, I can be on top of the world but suddenly, I can feel utterly and completely worthless, like no one loves or cares for me.Loneliness also weights in on this as well. In my 32 years of life,I've only been in one real relationship and it only lasted a few months. It was terrible for me since she was an arrogant, bitter woman who hated my family and had severe anger issues. Since then,I've had my heart broken more times than I can count by women who claimed to love me. It has gotten to the point where, many times, I had considered suicide. I could've gone the route of Jewario and Robin Williams but I seem to pull out it. This is why I don't update as much as I would like. Depression is not something you can just pull out of and be alright. It's like falling down a deep dark hole and you try to climb out but it's a long hard climb. It's rather ironic that I can right so many romantic fics and yet my love life is so terrible. This fic is something like therapy for me. I think I need to write this to get my sense of self back. I hope you all will understand this. Thank you for your reviews and kind words. So I hope you can enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing. So with that out of the way, ON WITH THE FIC!

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER

"ATTENTION POKEMON OF THE WORLD! I, PAUL KETCHUM, WILL FULFILL MY DESTINY AND CAPTURE YOU ALL TO BECOME THE NEXT GREAT POKEMON MASTER!"

"PAUL, GET OFF THE ROOF!"

"HUH? NINA, GO AWAY! I'M ANNOUNCING MY PRESENCE TO THE WORLD!"

"YOU'RE GONNA FALL OFF THE ROOF!"

"I AM NOT GONNA FALL OFF! I HAVE REFLEXES LIKE-OH NOOOOOOOO!"

10 year old Paul Ketchum's body fell to the mercies of gravity as he flew of the roof and landed on the lawn with a resounding thud. His younger sister Nina could only watch her beloved brother land head first in front of her. Instead of being worried or annoyed, she merely shook her aqua blue hair covered hair in exasperation, her small yellow sundress flowing in the wind.

"Ooowwwwww!" he groan, rubbing hisforehead from the fall.

"I told you that you were gonna fall."

He merely gave her a half-hearted glare that was part anger and part 'I need help'. She gave him a quick flick to his wound, causing him to yelp, before yelling back at the house. "mom! Paul fell off the roof again!"

Inside the two story home, Dawn Berlitz was busy doing a load of dishes, with Piplup serving as her dryer.The water Pokemon sat at the counter drying a cup with a small towel as his trainer looked out the window to see her two children in the yard.
