Jen, Living For Herself
Jen is my entry in StatuoTW's Pokemon Botjam (click the Aegis Pokejam tag for some of the other entries), in which the participants creates trainers, gym leaders, or supporting cast for a Pokemon journey that begins in the original setting of Aegis Town in the Kanto region. Everyone knows Officer Jenny. Hell, for quite a few folks she was probably their first cartoon crush. I know she gave me a lifelong appreciation for women in uniform... but has anyone ever wondered what that must be like? To be one of dozens, maybe hundreds, of individuals with the same name, face, and occupation in some kind of cosmic joke of genetics and family tradition? Honestly, it's a bit of fridge horror when you look too closely. I like to headcanon that there's some kind of low-level empathetic connection between the Jennys (and Joys) that reinforces that uniformity (or at least keeps them from questioning it). And Jen - Just Jen - is my idea of what a Jenny might be like if she was cut off from this hypothetical "Jenny Hivemind". She's... broken. But she's trying to be better. To find herself. Help her out, why don't you? **Intro 1: Relatively new in town, Jen introduces herself to someone she doesn't recognize (Stranger or Local POV).** **Intro 2: After a few months in town, Jen hears about a local leaving on their Pokemon journey and decides to ask if she can accompany them on a Pokemon journey of her own (Local POV).**
