This was great, Anna! Do you have a favorite book of Allegra Goodman’s? I’d love to read some of her works!
I love her short stories! One of my favorites appeared in the New Yorker a few years ago ("A Challenge You Have to Overcome"): https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/fiction/a-challenge-you-have-overcome

Oh, it sounds like we are living parallel lives! Pokemon isn't the worst writing soundtrack :)
