Howdy everyone!
I meant to wander in sooner than this, ever since I was drawn in to challenge some gym leaders during PAX East 2014, but alas time escaped me! I wanted to personally thank the three gym leaders who invited me to participate but it appears my ability to send messages here is disabled until I "participate more" so I hoped an introduction would help! I will have to settle for publicly thanking them, as best as I can identify them.
So thank you to the duo gym leaders with the straw hats, I believe you are the "Justin and Blaire duo" as I recognize your Pokemon from Lyrai's post here:
posting.php?mode=quote&f=7&p=23262 Alas, I do not recall who the third person with you was but I want to thank him too!
I also want to thank the gentleman scientist/doctor who was willing to fight alongside an Eeveelutions team. I don't know for certain who you are but I have a hunch it might be SandstormS? Perhaps Lyrai can tell me?
I see I'm too late to apply to be a gym leader for Pax Prime (sadly) but I do plan to spend more time challenging gym leaders as I am allowed free time! I am very excited to participate as I fondly recall the experience as one of my favorite moments of PAX East 2014. Part of me thinks it rather silly and yet, this Pokemon league is just so utterly fun to participate in I am overwhelmingly drawn to all you wonderful people. There aren't really words to describe the experience (although I tried to explain it) but thankfully my husband seemed to "get it" and agreed this is very cool. He said it was almost cool enough to get him to play Pokemon (!) but only almost..
We have work to do!
