Nidoqueen's Eavesdropping

Posted on Fri 15 Jul 2011 20:42:00 UTC. Back to Season 1

The shock of Puruglyâ€™s eviction has still to properly set in. Politoed and Nidoqueen are in the kitchen.

Politoed: So this is it, the final four.

Nidoqueen: I guess we made it.

Politoed and Nidoqueen half-heartedly clink their coffee cups.

Politoed: This is hard.

Nidoqueen: I know. I think we just lost the first housemate that I actually liked - even cared for.

Politoed: Same, she came in and made a dreadful first impressionâ€¦ but she left as possibly the best of us.

Nidoqueen quietly chuckles and takes a sip from her tea

Politoed: I mean, remember what a nightmare she was on the first few daysâ€¦ then overnightâ€¦ poof sheâ€™s softened and I have no idea why.

Nidoqueen: I doâ€¦

Politoed: Oh?

Nidoqueen: On the evening of Day Two I woke up in the middle of the night needing something to drink and I overheard her talking to Watchog. She poured her heart out to that mute Pokémon andâ€¦ it was tragic. She was just unable to understand how to interact with us.

Politoed: Wow, I guess we had an even bigger impact on her than I had first thought.

Nidoqueen: She was so vulnerable.

Politoed: She put up such a front but in the end it was hard not to warm to her.
