-->[[spoiler:You can't take what's not mine to give... You weren't my [[FirstKiss first kiss]]]].

-->[[spoiler:She [Phoebe] is my muse, my solace, my hope. The girl of my dreams, and the woman I love, and intend to marry.]].

* ZettaiRyouiki: Jasmine, in her Magical Girl Aki Kinyobi-san costume. She [[GenreSavvy references the term by name]] and mentions showing off "a perfect three inches" of it.

* AnticlimacticParent: Subverted. Through Parts 1 and 2 Jasmine alludes to how horrible a mother she has. After not seeing each other for months, Jasmine returns home in Part 3. Her mother's very first words are ordering Jasmine to help her with chores- without even acknowledging Jasmine by name, or saying "Hello", or even looking at her daughter. The conversation goes downhill from there and it starts to feel like Jasmine was understating this woman's horridness.

* YourCheatingHeart: [[UnreliableNarrator Jasmine]] fully believes in Morty's inability to stay with one girl for five minutes. His actions prior to CharacterDevelopment do little to help his cause. [[spoiler: Jasmine eventually starts to get over her biased opinions after CharacterDevelopment, but Morty immediately commits a major offense following Jasmine's HeelRealization.]]

** [[TheComicallySerious Jasmine]]: our {{Narrator}}/{{Protagonist}}.

* StrawNihilist: Silver starts out as one, believing mainly in BlackAndBlackMorality. He gets better as Lyra's personality starts to wear off on him.

** Subverted during the confrontation with Edward. [[Jasmine is about to be raped by Edward, and looks up to find her mother watching the assault. At first she's hopeful her mother will intervene, but when she doesn't, Jasmine thinks it's another hallucination, or else her mother is allowing it to happen to teach her a lesson]].
*** [[Then her mother DOES intervene at the last second and kicks the crap out of Edward. She held back in order to collect video evidence of his crime]].

* ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy: Whether from one opponent to another, Jasmine's internal monologue, or by way of onlookers, most advanced tactics atre explained in detail to the reader. The two notable examples: Volkner outright lying to Morty about Electavire's ability, and Jasmine explaining her successful tactics to Silver as a way to calm him down and help him make sense of his mid-battle failures (he goes on to win the battle, but not due to the intel gained from Jasmine).

* DarkerAndEdgier: [[CaptainObvious Needless to say]], villain teams are a lot more like actual criminals and terrorists, politics are much shadier and pragmatic, and Pokemon are [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking not restricted to four moves only]].

* ParentsWalkInAtTheWorstTime: Not her actual parent, but close enough; Erika walks in upon Jasmine [[UnusualEuphemism having trouble with her tampons]]. TheTalk shortly follows. [[spoiler: Jasmine gets to taste this trope herself when she [[Main.HilarityEnsues walks in on Amphy and Spectra]] [[InterruptedIntimacy bonding]]. Amphy [[CrowningMomentOfFunny promptly calls Jasmine "cock-block" in his native language]].]]
--> [[spoiler: '''Jasmine''': "You're supposed to be guiding ships into Olivine's port! [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Not guiding your wing-wang into Spectra's port!]]"]]

* WorthLivingFor: [[spoiler: Jasmine waves off her own suicidal determination in order to try to save Ethan from his suicidal determination.]]

** After so much pain, hardship, and emotional turmoil, it all culminates at the end of Part 4 with the greatest shock of all:
-->[[spoiler:Jasmine goes to Crescent Bay Bridge to end her life.]]
-->[[spoiler: And there finds Ethan about to jump himself. The fateful meeting averts both of their deaths.]]

* PuttingTheBndBackTogether: Part 5 is framed around Jasmine reclaiming her Pokemon team.

* Soaperizing: Essentially. Pokemon and Pokemon battles are a subplot compared to the human-focused romance and drama that make up the main plot.

* SexEqualsLove: Jasmine thinks sex and love ought to be unequivocally interlinked. [[spoiler: A [[NotGoodWithRejection crush]] gone wrong]] leads to sex becoming a collateral casualty of her hatred towards romance.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop:[[spoiler: Part 4 reveals that not only were Morty and Erika conspiring to bring Jasmine out of her shell by having Morty fake a relationship with her, but pretty much everyone in Jasmine's social circle was aware of what was going on. [[Understatement Jasmine does not take this well.]]]]

* [[spoiler: LoveMakesYouDumb: Not explicitly stated yet, but it's clear that one of the reasons Erika's plan failed was because both she and Morty had feelings for Jasmine that clouded their better judgement.]]
