Mind over Matter | Mimi & Quentin
q-lessâ:
âWell, I know for some cases of Mega Evolution might not be entirely dependant on the pokemon. Aerodactylâs form is said to be what the pokemon truly looked like millions of years ago. Perhaps other fossil pokemon can mega evolve then.â
Quentin said, grabbing a pen and making another note in his journal. Finding out why only certain pokemon could mega evolve would make an interesting bit of research.
âBeing a scientist is very difficult,â Quentin said, sighing heavily. Countless nights worth of work all came rushing back to him in an instant. He was just starting to cheer up, and his mood was right back where he started. âYeah. Itâs tough. It makes you want to rip your hair out, and tear up all your books, and just get a normal job somewhere! And yetâŠâ Quentin closed his eyes, leaning back again.
âThat brief moment when you finally piece together some bits of the puzzle, or you notice something you never saw before, it just makes it all worth it. You might not make a groundbreaking discovery, but the feeling that youâre making the world a better place, or youâre finding answers to lifeâs big questions, or even the feeling that youâre just the smartest person around. That makes it all worth it.â
Quentin opened his eyes, sat up straight, and placed his hands on the table.
âWell, that got deep. Anyway, the problem with going to a new region and trying to find something undiscovered is that you donât know what youâre going to discover in the first place. You know?â
...huh
There was something about the way he looked when he was talking about his work. It was a look that her Father had sometimes...she didnât really get why, but talking with this person kind of helped her understand.Â
Maybe?Â
â...but thatâs what makes it fun right?â Mimi said in response to what Quentin said. Her mind wandered to the parts unknown...foreign regions sheâs never been to before Things she wouldnât be able to believe unless if she saw it with her own eyes.
âLike you said right? To find those answers to lifeâs questions. Feeling like youâre the smartest person in the world. What better way to do it than to just explore somewhere new?â It was certainly exciting to think about.
