I helped C shop for Pokémon cards to send to a buddy for his Birthday. This is a kid C met last winter at a nerf wars event with the teen group. He is from a wandering homeschool family who pick a different region of the US to visit every winter. C plays online with this kid on a fairly regular basis. He was the reason C figured out how to accomplish the whole voice chat thing.

Our closest local Gaming store sells loose Pokémon cards, so C sorted through stacks of them and ended up with about a dozen he liked which the guy sold to him for 2$.
