"Well I certainly know what the Lieutenant here wants." Quickie said as she sat down next to Lt. PB with two wine glasses filled with Mango Lemonade in them.
"HAHAHAHA! You haven't forgotten, I see!" Lt. PB smiled while taking the drink.
"Forget? How could I possibly forget? It's pretty much all you drank during our trip together those many years ago!" Quickie smiled. "Here's to our journey, Blues!"
"To our journey!" Lt. PB said as he toasted his journey with Quickie. "NOW! If you'll excuse me for a moment. I must relieve myself! HAHAHAHA!"
Lt. PB got up to use the bathroom while Quickie began petting Private Electricia. "It's nice to see you again, Electricia."
"CHIPAAAAAAA!" Private Electricia purred out while being petted.
"So you two are beginning an adventure with Lieutenant Dazzle himself, huh? Heh, I envy you!" Quickie addressed the two trainers while smiling. "Those were the days!"
"What were those days like, if you don't mind me asking Ms. Quickie?" Sakura asked.
"Where do I begin? Well I guess I should say that if it weren't for Blues, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Before I met him, I was an incredibly shy trainer. Sure, I would win battles and lose battles all the time. But I had a hard time opening up to the other trainers I fought against. I got along with my Pokemon a lot better than I did anyone else. Heh, but then I met Blues. You know how most people change as they get older? You know, get more mature or season themselves a bit. Not Blues. Definitely not Blues. He's still the exact same person he is now as he was when we first met. I was sitting under a tree drawing portraits of my Pokemon. Lord knows my hyperactive Charmander had a hard time standing still to pose for me. Anyway, so I was drawing and suddenly he appears behind me and yells out..."
"HAHAHAHA!!!! WOW, THAT'S AMAZING!" Young PB yells out.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!" Young Quickie screams from being startled.
"HAHAHAHA!!! My apologies, talented artist girl! It's just that I've never seen such an incredible display of talent in all my travels around this region. CAN I SEE WHAT ELSE YOU'VE DRAWN IN YOUR BOOK?!?!" Young PB asked.
"O-Okay!" Young Quickie struggled to say as she handed her sketch book over to PB
"GREAT SPARKS OF ZAPDOS, THESE ARE SIMPLY INCREDIBLE!! YOU MAKE YOUR POKEMON SPARKLE AND SHINE THROUGH YOUR ART, LIKE NOTHING I'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE!!" PB continued to look on in amazement.
"T-Thank you very muc.." Young Quickie said before being interrupted
"DO YOU THINK YOU COULD DRAW MY POKEMON? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAAAAAAAAAAASE??" Young PB begged.
Young Quickie looked on, somewhat terrified of the look on Young PB's face. "Um...O-Okay!"
"HAHAHAHA!!! YOU'RE THE BEST!! COMMANDER BUZZ! COME ON DOOOOOOOOWN!" Young PB gleefully yelled out as he tossed his Pokeball into the air. An Elekid appeared from out of the Pokeball! "COMMANDER BUZZ. GUESS WHAT? THIS INCREDIBLY AWESOME, TALENTED ARTIST GIRL IS GOING TO DRAW YOU!! MAKE SURE TO POSE AND POSE LIKE YOU MEAN IT!!"
As Commander Buzz posed for Young Quickie, Young PB watched in awe and amazement as Young Quickie drew his beloved Pokemon. He could barely stand still while watching, as he was so excited. Finally, the drawing was complete. When Young PB and Commander Buzz saw the drawing Young Quickie had made, they both danced around like hyperactive children. Young Quickie couldn't believe what she was seeing. However, it had a strange effect on her. She began giggling and smiling when she saw the two of them dancing around like idiots.
"You two must be close friends!" Young Quickie giggled as they danced.
"Commander Buzz is my bestest best buddy. We're the closest! Right now, he's my only Pokemon. That's why we're on this journey in the first place. WE WANT MORE FRIENDS!!! HAHAHAHA!!" Young PB said.
"Y-You mean your best friends with your Pokemon too?" Young Quickie asked in somewhat excitement.
"OF COURSE!! Every trainer should be friends with their Pokemon. THAT'S WHAT MATTERS MOST!!" Young PB stated.
"I thought I was the only one who felt this wa..." Young Quickie said with glee before being interrupted again.
"HEY, YOU WANNA BE FRIENDS WITH ME? I WANNA MAKE FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE AS WELL AS POKEMON!" Young PB yelled out happily.
"You wanna be friends w-with me?" Young Quickie asked shyly. "I'm not really good at making friends."
"NONSENSE, I SAY!! IF YOU CAN BE FRIENDS WITH POKEMON, YOU CAN BE FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE TOOOOO! SOOOOO, PLEASE BE MY FRIEND? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEE!" Young PB begged.
"O-Okay." Young Quickie responded.
"YAAAAAAAAAY! Thank you talented artist girl!" Young PB said while hugging Young Quickie.
"My name is Quickie!" Young Quickie said while hugging Young PB back.
"HAHAHAHA!! HOW SILLY OF ME NOT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF!!" Young PB yelled. "MY NAME IS PROTOMAN BLUES! HOWEVER, SOON I SHALL BE KNOWN AS LIEUTENANT PROTOMAN BLUES, SUPREME TRAINER AND LOVER OF ELECTRIC POKEMON!!!"
Young Quickie looked on at Lt. PB posing extremely dramatically. "Why are you doing that?" she asked.
"TO SHINE! TO DAZZLE. TO SPARKLE SO BRIGHTLY AS SO EVERYONE WILL REMEMBER ME! JUST LIKE YOU DO WITH YOUR ART!!" Young PB responded.
"W-What does my art have to do with sparkling?" Young Quickie asked.
"Don't worry, talented artist girl!!! I WILL SHOW YOU!! HAHAHAHA!!!" Young PB responded while putting his hand on Young Quickie's shoulder.
"And that was the start of our adventure together. We traveled the regions together for many years. I was amazed at his confidence and his love of Electric Pokemon. I also finally came to understand what he meant when he told me that my art shined. I'm sure he's told you this by now, but he doesn't use a Pokedex like most trainers. Well, the truth is that he use to until he met me. To this day I'm still flattered when he told me that after seeing my art and my Pokemon drawings that it was the most beautiful way he's ever seen to capture the wonder of Pokemon. A Pokedex would just no longer cut it for him." Quickie said while blushing a little.
"That's so sweet!" Sakura said with a slight tear in her eye.
"His unbridled ego began to rub off on me during our travels. I soon gained the confidence to get over my shyness. It's reaaaaaally hard to be shy around someone like him."
"Yeah, I can see that!" Sapph stated. "So why'd you two ever separate?"
"Because of Mewtwo..." Quickie smiled.
