Venusaur is my boi. He's literally everything I love! 

A close second is Infernape! (Cuz let's be honest gen 4 is amazing)

Anyways a few months ago I heard that Beard Dad was gonna be in town and I pretty much exploded. I didn't want to go alone so I asked my partner to come with me. (Who was slowly getting back into Pokemon) My partner nowadays collects Gem Pack Chinese cards. (His favorite pokemon is Sprigatito) 

Anyways tickets were bought and I worked really hard to save up money for the con to buy some cards and meet some sick people!

It was a long wait but worth it. Before I got into the line for Beard Dad I was looking for this Mega Venusaur card at the convention and I couldn't find it. 

It was FINALLY my turn for my autistic self to meet him. 

I was bouncing. I was ecstatic. I was so happy to just talk to him.

He asked if I was looking for anything and of course it was the Venusaur to go with the rest in my binder. He said 1 sec and FOUND IT! (It was not out on display) 

He told me that chat donated to the girl in the Tails hat and I was over the moon! I said thank you a million times and thanked him for coming out!
