Only If You Believe It Is

Lucy Quinn Fabray Third year Pokémon Trainer Looks like you've managed to stumble upon my little corner of the internet. For the nosy ones out there, I'm Quinn if you hadn't already gathered. Vice captain of the Training Team and who you actually need to impress to stand a chance of making it.

I don’t think I would mind keeping one of them, but this many babies is way too much for me. I’m not a daycare center.

[Kurt jokes, taking the Smoochum into his arms and shuffling the Igglybuff into Quinn’s hold. The Smoochum wriggled in his arms before leaning in to plant a kiss on his cheek, making Kurt laugh. It starts to snow over his head a little, but he doesn’t mind the fine dusting.]

Aw, I think I found a friend. I’ll handle her, if you want to go take the Igglybuff to the front so she can meet some potential adopters, and maybe grab me my next Pokemon to be groomed, that would be awesome. 

I don’t know. I’ve never been one to be broody, but right now I want to steal them all away and open up my own day care.

[Quinn immediately tightened her grip around the Igglybuff that had been handed to her. The last thing she needed was for her to get away and undo all the hard work Kurt had put into making her look squeaky clean. Watching the Smoochum kiss Kurt’s cheek, Quinn also laughed and shook her head at the scene. It wasn’t every day they got to witness something that adorable.]

Sure. I shouldn’t be too long. Let’s hope she stays out of trouble while I bring over more Pokemon. 

[She walked back over to the play pen in the front of the day care and carefully set the Igglybuff down in it. Initially the fairy type Pokemon didn’t seem to want to let go of her, but soon it became distracted by the other Pokemon in the pen and Quinn managed to step away quickly and pick up a Growlithe puppy that was in need of having it’s fur brushed.]

You’re coming with me.

[The walk back to Kurt was harder this time around, if only because while Quinn had only stopped to pick up the Growlithe, a nearby Larvitar seemed to have other plans and was now clinging to the inside of her leg, making her movements slow and clumsy as she attempted not to trip or dislodge the Pokemon.]

I come bearing Pokemon.

You could get through all seven before classes really get going, right? Totes not a big deal. Tonks and Lupin and Dobby and Hedwig are my top 4, but Fred’s number 5 in terms of worst deaths. That would be awesome! I’m kind of hoping I’ll see Tootstie again in the wild just to say hi sometime, too, even if I let him go now. Our mind link’s awesome! You guys are just jealous, it’s way easier to gossip when you don’t even have to move your lips. And it does explain why I’d be drawn to psychic Pokemon, doesn’t it? Dragons breathe fire in legends, they’re basically fire type’s cooler cousins. Maybe a dragon could be a decent temporary replacement for a fire Pokemon, even if they don’t have the same strengths and weaknesses. I ran into a couple Pokemon in the Safari Zone that weren’t for me before I ended up with Princess, so I definitely understand that.

I don’t know about that. My weekend are all pretty much taken up with various activities now, not to mention all the various training events that will be coming up. Maybe I’ll read them all over the Christmas break. Fred’s death was the worst for me. I saw most of the others coming well before i even bought the seventh book. If you let him go close by, I can’t see him going that far. Especially seeing how you caught him near here to begin with. I wouldn’t say that too loudly or Scout will find a way to prove she’s far cooler than Caspian. I think for now a dragon type will do until you find a fire type. Just as well you ended up with that Goomy, right?

In light of our services at the adoption drive over the weekend coming to an end, I can truthfully state that this entire experience has been one of the most rewarding ways I’ve spent my time in quite awhile. Something about playing a significant role in improving the lives of the Pokémon victimized by this breeding ring, is one of the best feelings I’ve had. Regardless of how awful the events were, my faith in humanity has been temporarily restored by the turnout for the drive itself - I’m incredibly proud of each and every person who happened to participate in it in any way. 

I couldn’t have put it better myself. I’ve already started speaking to Elliott about trying to organise a group of us to go back and help out once a month.

Why do you need to watch yourself around me? If your tempers that bad remind me to never get on your bad side. I can’t say I’m surprised her moving herself in didn’t end well, but nothing too bad happened between the two of you, did it? I know you’re good friends. Oh, right. That. Not many people pick up on it, actually, they’re usually too eager to jump into the tower and see what they can find to even notice the fact there’s a town around at all. It’s the downside of being in a place where half of it is basically a cemetery.

Because you’re charming around most people and I never know what’s charm and what’s genuine. I’ve been told that when I’m mad, I’m scarier than Santana. Nothing that won’t have fixed itself by the end of the week. It’s just hard being a friend to two people that really don’t get along. I guess I’ve spent enough time walking around the town to have picked up on it then. It’s sad. Does it ever get too much for you?

trainerweston:

You guys are starting to make me regret breaking out my sensitive side. I can’t be the only one who felt that way, the rest of you just won’t come out and say it. Or I can just blame it on the kid I ran into. You should’ve seen how exited he was, it was adorable. Not to toot your own horn, right? I’ll have to give it a read.

We all felt it, but none of the rest of us have a playboy persona they try and keep going all the time. Well maybe I’ll run into one of them the next time I’m out in Vermilion. There was this one girl who took home a Growlithe puppy I was starting to get attached to before I saw that she was too shy to go up to any of the Pokemon. So I handed him to her and ten minutes later they were leaving the Day Care together. I never toot my own horn. Modesty and all that.

Yea. They use Drifblims to do the camera work. Feels a lot more epic than it actually turns out, to be honest. Most of the time when you’re riding you’re constantly worrying if you’re going too fast, or too slow, whether that person’s actually catching up or you’re just seeing things … That sort.

In the wild they’d get their asses kicked, that’s for sure, but even then it’s to a lesser extent than normal Pokemon. Properly trained? Can’t ever be sure, but I’ve got a feeling they’re gonna do pretty good. If we’re going on more unreliable sources here - heroes always fought off the more chaotic legendaries with their Dragonites and Tyranitars and stuff. 

It could’ve been a compliment.

That’s actually a really good idea. I never thought about how did all that, to be honest. Sounds like a unique experience. Can’t say I’ve ever been in that position but I’ll take your word for it. 

Well the likelihood of us ever finding out is slim but I’ll remember that if I do ever find myself face to face with one and need to decide which Pokemon to send out. Caspian it is. I’ve got a Larvitar now but she’s a long way off being fully grown. 

Really? You’re gonna go with compliment? Only you, Robin.

mackenziejun:

Well, I had a good time too…

Do you cook or bake often?

I’m not disputing that. 

I cook nearly every day and try to bake at least once every couple of weeks. I bake more when I’m stressed though.

I missed a party?! I guess I was so wrapped up in getting to know Goober and getting ready for classes that I just totally peaced out. I’m so sad I missed s’mores, but my body’ll probably appreciate it since I’m supposed to be in strict training mode for try-outs.

You did and it was a good one at that. But getting things sorted for your first official day was a good excuse. And there’ll be other parties. We’ll probably end up throwing one right after tryouts.  Who’s Goober?

[coordinatorelliott-blog]

Wow, what a day

[awildquinnappears-blog]

coordinatorelliott:

I know! It was kind of amazing. And I was thinking the same, honestly. Like, how often do we actually get so many people from the university together without some kind of conflict? It’d be a great bonding experience. And who doesn’t like an excuse to play with babies? Even if it’s less adoption drive and more umm…socializing them or making them treats or something.

I’m surprised there isn’t already some kind of group or society that does charity work in an around Vermilion. If we can’t start one, I’m tempted to include it in some of the Training clubs events. That’s if I can get Jesse to sign off on them. If I can’t do anything official then I’d still like to try and maybe unofficially get a group of us to go and help out once a month or something.

breederbritt:

I told them you said Hi. They said it was a shame they missed you at the adoption drive otherwise they would have come over and said hi themselves. 

We totally should hang out. Madison and I are arranging a movie night you should join us.

I hope they had a good time and were proud that you helped organise such an amazing and successful event. Congrats on that by the way. 

Have you guys decided on a movie yet? 

[awildquinnappears-blog]

ceruleandaniharper:

Yeah. I didn't see them at the drive, but they were at the party, we spoke

Huh, interesting. That narrows it down. I’m going to get to the bottom of this mystery, I hope you know. 

[awildquinnappears-blog]

ceruleandaniharper:

Yeah, her name is Aria. She’s the best. But I think Bass and Apollo might be a little bit jealous too. What did you get?

Aww, well it happens sometimes. I remember Caspian was a little miffed after I first got Scout. And Carole gave me a Larvitar. She’s really cute but I can’t decide on a name for her.

mackenziejun:

Oh. I’m sorry…

Did you manage to get out alone or did someone help you?

Someone helped me out. I don’t know who though. It was so long ago. I just know I blacked out and woke up in hospital.

I told him that he wasn’t having any more of that curry because he’s already had two bowls and there isn’t any left. Had to get Dune in here to lay down the law.

… Shit, I could’ve had to like, chop off my hair or something.

Why were you even giving him curry? Did that not set off any alarm bells from the get go? I’m surprised you didn’t call Bloo out to take care of the rest of the curry. 

To be honest I think you’d look good with short hair.

sammytheranger:

I personally think you should check it out. The zombies won’t be a huge threat until later on.

Maybe I will. I’ve never really been that into zombies and even with people getting me to try TWD, I just can’t get into them. If this eases me in a little more, maybe I’ll change my mind. Have you got any other recs for me?

I’ll be good all around so I’m not super worried! But I’m just trying to figure out if there’s anything I need to focus on just in case. That’s totes my goal, then – I promise I won’t like, scare them away on purpose or anything, though, I’ll just make sure I’m better than them. Yep! He’s the grumpiest person I know, so I’m not planning on giving his title away anytime soon. I’d definitely be up for that. Who knows, maybe mom and dad will even be home for the holidays too! It would be good to see them.

I know you will and I can’t wait for this weekend to see how everyone does against each other. And I’m sure Santana is just itching to show everyone up when it comes round to you guys taking us on. Hey, you can do whatever you like, short of physically harming them before the tryouts. All’s fair in love and war. Is he really that bad? I’ll talk to Mike about it over the next few days and then we can come up with a plan. Maybe we can even travel a little.
