Are you an avid tea drinker? Then perhaps you can help me out and answer these twenty questions.

I may not be the very best that ever was, but I certainly have become a Pokémon fanatic. Catching, collecting, and caring for fictional creatures has become one of my main hobbies, and not just because I’m still channeling my inner 12-year-old.

I Choose You! Pokemon Tag

Following the adventurous spirit of the franchise, I’m sharing a little bit about my personal Pokémon journey in the hopes of finding some new friends before we take off for the Galar region this fall!
