Me? Only uploading RP drabbles/auditions? More likely than you think. Barry's showing off his starter to his dad! One-sided Barry rambling. Assumes a protagonist Dawn who chose a Piplup. I write him much more hyper than canon Barry not gonna lie.
"Look! Look look look!" Arceus, this had to be the most interesting day of his life. The best day of his life. Not only had he hung out with his really close goodest bestest friend Dawn, not only had he met THE Professor Rowan, but he had gotten his very first Pokémon! The day that he had been waiting for all his life, the day that he would stay up at night thinking about, that day had come with no warning and that day had been today. "Dad – Dad look!"
Hunched over in front of his laptop, the young trainer held up a Pokéball – his very own Pokéball – in front of his webcam, an excited grin over his face. "Look! Look look -" Not even giving the man on the other side of the call time to speak between his own words, Barry pushed in the button on the ball, feeling a rush of excitement as he heard it click, before with a flash his new friend appeared in his lap.
"Twig?"
"That's right! You are a little Turtwig, aren't you buddy?" He playfully pinched the turtle's cheeks in response to its little cry, before Barry suddenly picked up his Pokémon, a hand on each side of its body, thumbs around its front legs so he wouldn't fall out while staying cautious not to hurt him. "But look! Look look, look dad! He's a Turtwig! A little Twiggy! I was out with Dawn and we ran into Professor Rowan and–" Startled from the sudden noise and being grabbed at, the tiny turtle had given its new trainer a firm smack on the cheek with one of its forelegs. "Ow - Twiggy!" He glanced up at the screen, seeing a look of concern on Palmer's face, though it didn't register as such in his mind.
Almost immediately Barry had forgotten about the smack, returning to his mile a minute rambling. "But yes! Yes! Me and Dawn went out and we ran into Professor Rowan! You know, THE Professor Rowan! The Professor guy! And he gave us Pokémon! For free! And - and Dawn chose a little Piplup, yeah? Yeah! A water type! And I picked little Turtwiggy here! And I battled her! But she won…" A brief expression of disappointment flashed over Barry's face, before flipping back to his more excited demeanor. "But that's okay! I'll catch a Starly and then I'll beat her next time! And if not then I'll evolve Turtwig into a big Torterra! And then I'll beat her for sure! And then once I beat her then I can come and beat you! At the Battle Tower! And, and and and –"
"Oh! Oh, dad, I think I hear someone knocking downstairs – oh! Oh, maybe it's Dawn!" Barry shot a glance behind him to the stairs, scooting his chair back and quickly shooting up, one arm holding Turtwig to his chest, bending down towards his laptop's camera and giving a quick wave with his free hand. "Anyways, I gotta go! Bye dad!"
