< Mermaid> I'm still waiting for him to respond.
< Mermaid> Ash, you there?
< Pokemon Master> ok
< Mermaid> Geez Ash, learn to type faster!
< Mermaid> I can type ten times as fast as you can.

< Hotchick> Hey, I didn't think he should've been kicked!
< Flame> Everyone else did, I bet. That pic he sent me of his cheerleader was REALLY disturbing.
< Pokemon Master> huh garys just a lozer
< Hotchick> Hey, what happened to Meowth?
< Mermaid> He got kicked, like Gary just did. *eg*
< Hotchick> Yeah, but he's not nagging me for a reinvite like he usually does.
< Flame> Probably his computer crashed.

Pikachu rubbed its paws together happily, and blinked, a little tired. It logged off and started shutting down the computer.

It was glad it had finally succeeded in prying his trainer away.

Ash was hard enough to wake up in the mornings as it was.
