Closest story I have is related to how I took advantage of a kid at his own birthday party, but it’s not Pokemon related.
In 5th grade, there was this one kid who always got picked on. I had a handful of bullies in my day so I never picked on him in person but would joke about him with my friends. Well one day as we were all getting picked up, I see him and his mother approach me. His mom invites me to his birthday party and says anyone who attends will get a free toy under $10 at the toy store. I only agree because I wanted a toy I had my eye on. My mom and her mom talk, so I decide to go.
I’m 20 minutes late (party was in an arcade in a mall) and I see the kid crying. I was the only one who showed up apparently but he suddenly lit up when he saw me. No one else came. We played some games for about an hour until we went to the toy store. His mom gave him the money. I was really into Beast Wars at the time and got Dinobot. I was super psyched. The cashier said that for a few extra bucks, I could get a VHS tape that had some episodes of it. I wanted it so badly that the kid ended up paying it for me. I asked him why he was being so nice to me and he told me, “You’re the only kid in our class who didn’t laugh at me.”
We talked for a little bit longer until my mom picked me up. I watched the VHS tape and it had episodes I hadn’t seen yet, one of them being “Code of Hero” which centered around my favorite character and became my favorite episode to this day.
I felt like a piece of shit because I totally took advantage of this kid’s kindness and the Code of Hero episode really hit me with it’s theme of “doing what was necessary”.
Long story short, I told my friends to lay off the kid and they did. We didn’t end up being friends but I bumped into him in my early 20’s and he still remembered me. Said his life wasn’t too bad nowadays, so that was good to hear.
If you insist.
I buddy and I had been drinking(SHOCK) We were out in the middle of the street having a Roman Candle fight. A police cruiser comes the hill, turns the corner with lights on. He pulls up to us, points towards her house where only we could see and laughingly says “She says” points at me and finishes “You were trying to blow up her car.” He told us to “Stop causing me trouble and go back to your drinking”
Satisfied?

The funny thing is, one the first page we have someone literally confessing a murder. Yet here we are, beating a dead horse whether this 7 years old was trying to blow up a crazy lady’s car or not.
