This was a fun first round of secrets, everyone! Gym leader and trainer alike, it was very fun reading all of your submissions and we would like to thank you on behalf of the entire EV News Staff! The love, the heartbreak, the friendship, the deep, dark, secrets!

   - EV Editors


This was a fun first round! We'd like to issue a reminder that for whenever we choose to do this again, please submit your secrets in image form, as we will not be turning text secrets into images ourselves. We did a few this time, but next time they will be omitted.

The secrets will be broadcast via Pokégear as a slideshow, which one can pause and skip as wished. Questions, comments, etc. go here. Thank you for participating! Sorry about the short notice; next time, we'll think ahead of time.

You're free to use this post for IC reactions if you'd like, and if you put "Anonymous" in the header of your comment it will ICly show up as such. It'll count for AC!

[neededlassie]

I agree! Prom was really fun!
...Maybe not so many people next time, though. Everyone can have their own parties.

[neededlassie]

Who cares if somebody knows? That's the point of telling someone when you're upset. Unnecessary risk is just big words for you're a big dumb jerk who no one wants to tell their secrets to anyway.

[Cover=blown.]

[neededlassie]

Yeah, I do! My team is really great. And maybe by the time he gets here, we'll have lots of badges, and it'll be my job to help protect him.

[neededlassie]

[Shaun smiles tearfully. It means a lot to hear that from someone else's dad.]

Thanks Laguna. I really hope you're right.

anon text; OP of 44

[neededlassie]

[because idk John's canon point but dead fathers is always a good jumping off point for CR.]

Yeah they are.
I just want to be able to show him I can take care of myself now.

[ghostytrainer]

[Pre-Jade: Enter, so before Dad's death, but he had it spoiled for him SO... excellent jumping point, yes good let's make this CR happen.]

tbh, it's probably the thing they are best at.
even more than shaving and dads are ridiculously good at that too.
don't ever give up hope that he'll be here one day though, ok? even if it seems like he's never coming.
some people are just a little slow to get here, that's all.

[ghostytrainer]

and i would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for that stupid, sexy lalonde!!! *shakes fist*

[Text]

[ghostytrainer]

yeah somebody pointed that out. i didn't even think of it when i wrote it, tbh...
but i'm sticking to it. i don't approve of what they're doing and they really should stop being truculent jackasses but i am glad they're here.
which doesn't really make any sense, i know but bluh.

[video | locked]

[itsjustdust]

But... nobody did that.

[THE MORE SHE TALKS THE CLOSER HE GETS TO FIGURING IT OUT]

[itsjustdust]

I am? I mean! Yes, right. Thank for that too?

[ortion]

[It's not like he tries to be a jerk! ... Okay yeah he does.]

They have successfully offended me, so I suppose it worked. I have a good idea of who the offender is, and they are relentless with these attacks.

[failures]

1. Totally agreed! It was cool to see my friends again at the prom though.

7. You should try to get to know her anyway! She's nice when she's done crying.

16. Man, I could've written this in my sleep. Just keep trucking, anon! Maybe she'll come back and stay one day.

18. She really is cool, huh?

25. ... That's really creepy, dude.

30. This has got to be the deepest secret here.

35. If you were raised by animals, I guess.

37. I could say the same thing about certain other Pokemon too, but I prefer to not talk about them and bring back bad memories.

42. Oh my god, I'm going to use this the next time I get the chance.

50. I stand corrected. This is the deepest secret.

[video | locked]

[usedswift]

Ouch. Well, glad this is a locked video, 'cause otherwise I bet you'd have just broken that poor girl's heart.

[neededlassie]

[hhaaaa dads who are good at shaving.]

I won't! If he knew I was here, I know he wouldn't stop until he found me.
It's just...this is the only place I have a chance of seeing him again.

[lieutenantantichrist]

[there's a pause.]

Who is this?

[lieutenantantichrist]

Tell you what. You hatch from an egg, I'll call a magic woodland creature your mother.

[Being here doesn't mean he has to learn or accept anything.]

[neededlassie]

Why should I tell you?

[ghostytrainer]

[We'll pretend Ethan falls into that category, shh.]

oh.
i can relate to that. i'm really sorry to hear that, dude. uh. assuming you are in fact a dude.
person.
whatever the case, it's the same way for me and it sucks is what i am trying to get at.

[tentacletrainer]

On the couch?
That's perfectly fine with me.
You boys have fun in that bed.
;)

[ghostytrainer]

haha, very funny!!!!!

[tentacletrainer]

Well I just assume you were using this as an excuse to finally share the bed with him again.
After all, what else will you do with all of that empty room now?

[video | locked]

[itsjustdust]

How? nobody did that. There was friendly but... that's not the same thing s what you said.

[ghostytrainer]

rose.
rose have all my lessons in comedy been a waste?
see now...the original joke was funny because we are in a cave and there isn't a couch here to begin with.
but talking about the bed and the empty room isn't funny. you went too far with the joke.
you have disappointed your sen(se of humor)sei, young laughopper.

[tentacletrainer]

Now John.
Please take a moment to consider this.
Sometimes, there are things that are far more humorous than a simple joke.
Take, for instance, the face I KNOW you are making right now.
This is a Grade A face, worthy of being bronzed and mounted on a wall.
You cannot find a more genuinely 'disappoint' expression, I guarantee it.
Your mouth is in such a deadpan line your lips are drawn thin, accentuating those positively adorable teeth of yours perfectly.
Your brows are furrowed together, bringing out a few unamused lines in your forehead and causing your eyes to crinkle just a little at the corners with such intense disgust for how far I've taken this joke.
Your nostrils are likely flared just a little as well.
I mean it is just a perfect expression.
If you weren't typing, I am sure your hands would be up in a questioning manner as well.
All fingers crooked slightly to exemplify your exasperation with me.
I am laughing so hard right now at this mental image.
Like seriously I think I am getting a stitch.
Someone take me to a doctor, my sides might be splitting open here.
This face you make is seriously the most hilarious expression I have literally ever seen.
And it's worth beating a few dead horses to get it.

[ghostytrainer]

[There's no text response to this. John just turns his head to shoot Rose the very look that she is indeed describing.]

[He can hear you laughing, Rose.]

[You are simultaneously upsetting him and reminding him of exactly why he loves you.]
