Jerome's PoV:

"Hey Ryan, Jason sent me a link to his new remix! Wanna listen to it with me?" I yelled to him from the computer room. Jason didn't label the file, so it'll be a surprise I guess. I tapped my fingers along the keyboard, and I scratched Cooper's back with my toes.

"Yeah, I'll be right there!" He called back, from where I'm guessing was the kitchen. A moment later, Ryan came into the room with water bottles and a thing of Pringles. He shook the can slightly, making the chips rattle.

"I brought snackage!" He chuckled, and sat down next to me. I smiled, taking one of the bottles and twisting the cap, taking a sip. He took control of the mouse and double clicked the audio file. The music player loaded up, and the song started.

After a few seconds, the song sounded familiar. "Isn't this..?" "Yeah, original Pokémon...battle music?" I nodded, "Yep, battle music." We both had grins on our faces as we listened. Ryan started nodding his head to the beat, and I drank more water.

When the remix ended, the music player closed out. "I loved it." I told him, stealing the can of chips from him. He frowned, and tried to take it back. I took a few out before handing it back.

"You know, I think I still have my Gameboy lying around somewhere." He said, getting up, and going to the closet in the corner of the room. After a few minutes of rummaging around, and some boxes now littered the floor, he yelled triumphantly. "You alright?" I chuckled as he worked his way back out.

"I have Blue in here still." He smiled, sitting back down and turning on the ancient gaming system. The familiar opening sequence started, and he button mashed to pull up his game. I peeked before it went all the way through, and it said he logged over 150 hours into the game.

Oh well, mine wasn't any better. It loaded up, and he was snack dab in the middle of the ocean. I chuckled as I watched him try and remember. "I have no idea." He pouted. "But let's check out my team!"

He pulled up the screen, and none of his Pokémon had nicknames. "So you weren't the nickname type, huh?" He shook his head, and I looked over the team once more.

Level one hundreds all across the board. Nice. His team was Charizard, Starmie, Arcanine, Raichu, Dragonite, and surprisingly, Butterfree. I have him a look. "Butterfree? Really?"

"Oh shush, Butterfree is a badass." He shrugged, checking stats.

"You know, your team is pretty similar to what my dream team was." I told him, smiling. He smiled back at me, and pecked my lips.

"What can I say? Great minds think alike."
