One of the things Serena gets into(and is very successful with!) after ‘aging-out’ of pokemon performing, is beauty/lifestyle blogging (she’s sort of the pokemon-world equivalent of an Instagram/YouTube celebrity?)
Her and Paul’s paths don’t cross often but on one occasion they did, he made a offhand remark along the lines that what she does “doesn’t require talent and anyone could do it”.
Instead of going off on him about it, Serena is like “wow, fascinating! could you honor me with any more of your wisdom and guidance?” -dripping with sarcasm, but Paul doesn’t tend to catch social cues so he Does continue to try to give her more ‘advice’ and she very sweetly, continues to ask for more explanation and examples until she miraculously manages to get about a vine-length amount of ‘example video’ of him dressed goofy and silently picking up random objects trying to mock the -finger waggle at the camera thing-
She uploads the video publicly. It Takes OFF and goes viral. Paul thinks the video’s ‘success’ proves his point and learns nothing
