ITAGGING: Quinn Fabray,
TIMELINE: Sunday, August 16th, 2015
SETTING: Fuchsia City Safari Zone
SUMMARY: After a disappointing week in the Safari Zone, Quinn comes across a Pokemon she’s determined to catch but when it’s scared off by a wild Abra, Quinn makes the most of the situation.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Written as a kipspawn.
It was the last day of the school trip to Fuchsia and while Quinn knew she could come back again in her own time, she didn’t really want to fork out the cash to cover the expensive entry or wait another month to go in for free. It wasn’t that she was short on cash, because working long hours for The Post enabled her to put away some savings after paying the rent and bills, but that money was something she was saving for special occasions like birthdays or Christmas. It wasn’t something she really wanted to spend on herself. And she didn’t want to wait to catch something because she really wanted something new in time for tryouts that she could surprise people with.
The only problem was that she’d been in the park every day that week and everything had either been too weak or not something she’d ever dream of catching. She was starting to lose hope. But at the end of the day, Quinn was a Fabray and while they were many things - alcoholics, liars and religious nuts to name but a few of their worst qualities - they weren’t quitters and Quinn especially wasn’t one to give up on anything once she’d put her mind to it.
Which was how she found herself hunched over and creeping through the tall grass in the south quadrant, trying to sneak up on an Absol that she’d spotted in the distance. She probably didn’t have to go this far, but she was taking no chances. Today was the last day and she refused to go home empty handed.
Scout was to her left, stalking through the grass with her and making sure nothing else was around them. “Just a little further,” Quinn whispered to Scout, as they finally got close enough to the Absol for them to be able to make their move.
Just as Quinn was about to tell throw bait towards it to lure it out, a noise from behind her startled her and the very Pokemon she’d been trying to catch. The Absol looked up and saw her and proceeded to bolt. There wasn’t even any time to try to take it out with Scout had she been allowed to. Instead Quinn had to watch on as it ran from her, taking all hope of catching anything good with it.
“You’ve got to be kidding me!” She shouted, beyond pissed that she’d somehow blown her chance. Turning to look at whatever had made the sound, Quinn saw a shape in the grass that hadn’t been there before. She slowly moved towards it, parting the grass as she went and stopped when she saw what had interrupted her earlier catch attempt.
There in the middle of the long grass was an Abra - one of the few psychic types she was dying to get her hands on.
Her right hand moved to grasp one of the Safari Balls on her belt, while her right tossed some bait towards it. The Abra saw the bait but did nothing to move towards it. Quinn sighed and tossed more in it’s direction but still, nothing. She was at a loss for what to do and considered throwing the ball anyways, when the Abra decided to teleport away from her.
Quinn was about to swear loudly, but the Abra never gave her a chance to because it hadn’t teleported to get away, but rather it had teleported to get closer to her. She laughed and held out more bait to the Abra and this time it took it straight for her hands. Distracted by the bait, it could do nothing when Quinn finally tossed her Safari ball at it, capturing it on her first try.
Satisfied by how the day had turned out, Quinn turned to Scout and motioned for her to follow her out the Safari Zone and back to the guest house they were staying at.
