An ongoing ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''-based doujinshi styled comedy {{webcomic}} written and drawn by [[https://twitter.com/kdk5011?lang=en-gb Gooberman]], ''Dating a Team Magma Grunt'' follows the events of [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Pokemon Omega Ruby]] focusing on the developing romance between Brendan (the male protagonist of Ruby and Sapphire) and the titular Magma Grunt.

A year after Brendan [[ToBeAMaster won the Pokemon League]] and stopped Team Magma from destroying the world, one of the team's grunts began dating the young trainer, despite their [[MayDecemberRomance rather obvious age-gap]] and their past antagonism with each other. The story doesn't dive much farther than that, mainly focusing on comedy and brief mini-arcs revolving around the obstacles the young couple face in their new relationship to keep readers invested.

As of early 2016, the webcomic has been placed on a temporary hiatus due to Gooberman being sent to the South Korea military to fulfil a two-year mandatory service. The translator informs readers that while Gooberman will continue to try and update as best he can, a very long delay should be expected.
