Plushtrip: Pikachu and Pichu meet Gary Oak and Nemesis

Photos of today's meeting with our esteemed PokeCharms leaders

Interesting if you ever cared what Alex & Dave look like in real life. Not interesting if you care what I look like, because I was taking these photos. There is footage of my back side as I was making the chocolate rice krispie cakes, but I dread to think what I look like in it. Ah well

Those pictures remind me of my "Pikachu's Great Adventure!" topic. I love the Kings Cross picture. Just looks so natural ^^

I take it those plushies are special to you and left Nem's place again with you, eh?

Hmmm I never expected Oaky to look like that. I like the pics I'm guessing that prima guide is for emerald :wink:

I didn't notice this when I first skimmed the pictures, but nice shot of track "9 3/4". That had me laughing for a good minute or two XD

Forgive me, but what significance does "9 3/4" hold?

 

[Linkachu]

Forgive me"]

Tis the track to Hogwarts in Harry Potter. I assume you don't read the series then? If you do, you're a horrible fan and should be ashamed of yourself! (j/k)

That is actually Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross, yes. I assume they had to add it in for the tourists - it wasn't there last year. Oddly, that was the only place on all of my plushtrips so far where I've been stared at for taking photos of my plushies doing things rather than my human friends doing things. No one batted an eyelid at us walking round Brussels with a dino - I think they just assumed we were art students or something.

Yes, of course Pikachu and Pichu came home with me! I'd have been in trouble if they hadn't. They'd have joined the pile on Dave's sister's shelf, where they would have remained mostly unloved, as she has long since grown up & left home. Eeep! :shock:

That's odd. When I visited London in 2003, we saw the exact same sign. I'd show you a picture, but it doesn't have a date on it, and my sisters would strongly object to being shown on an internet forum. And for the record, one of them did try to run through it.

Obviously I already know what Oak looks like from the amount of times he's slapped me for making innapropriate comments (and ridiculous powerpoint animations). Nem though...hmmm. He's not as English as I'd imagined. In fact, there's someone in NI-SAN that looks a bit like him, only smaller...
