Vernon: Sweet Sawgrass...I watched that show so damn long ago it's nothin' but a hazy memory at this point...
Dawn: Right? I was actually kinda shocked it was still even airing, let alone had been since we were little. I didn't find out until we had just adopted Edi and Ali, like during the first week. He was watching cartoons and I saw one of the more recent episodes in the series...I couldn't believe they still had the same main character.
Gus: Gods, it's really weird to think about...Like Vern and I were like...what kids? We hadn't even met when Pokemania kicked off...
Vernon: I was super into it though...had the games, some plushes some tradin' cards, and I watched the show religiously...
Gus: Same...
Melanie: I think that goes for everyone here really...
Dawn: Less so for me...I did get to play some games but my father was...very on top of my TV time when he was...sober...*Dawn winces*
Vernon: *Hugs the lamb sitting in his lap, nuzzling against her head poof.* Aww...Darlin'...
Dawn: It's fine...*The ewe reaches up, patting Vernon's cheek affectionately as she nuzzles back.* I did watch a little bit...mostly on the days when his hangover was so strong it kept him bedridden for most of Saturday morning...
Vernon: It ain't much consolation, but I abandoned most of my Pokemammal stuff when I started my...well, when went through my rough patch...Didn't pick up the games again till Gus and me met.
Gus: *Laughs* Glad I made you play Silver even though we were up to Diamond and Pearl by then. It was up to that point, what I considered the best one in the series. Couldn't have my best bud miss out.
Vernon: *Snickers* Yeah I remember...you made me catch up on a lot o' 'gamin' homework' once we became friends...
Gus: Hey it may have only been a few years, but you missed out on some great stuff! It was important in order to properly induct you into true nerd culture!
Joel: I still can't believe it though...like...It's like the Stompsons or Furmaly Guy...It had been running for so long you'd just think it was going to go on forever. *Shrugs* I mean technically it still is...But I just figured Ash Scratchum' would endure forever, y'know?
Gus: Truly the end of an era...
Dawn: It makes me feel old, that's for sure...*The ewe grips her upper arms, rubbing them briskly*.
Vernon: Yep, it only gets worse from here...er' so my Pa tells me... Can't wait till some newfangled tech comes out that completely baffles us, then I'll really feel ancient.
Melanie: Ugh...just the idea of that made me feel my bones crumble to dust inside of me...*Shakes head*
Joel: Gotta pour one out for old Ash. *Begins to pour out his Mountain Ewe* Godspeed young traveler...you were never a pokemammal master in your show, but you were the pokemammal master of our hearts...
Gus: DUDE! NOT ON THE RUG!! *Gus snorts*I LITERALLY HAD THE FLOOR CLEANED LAST WEEK!
