We grew up, and society tells us to leave you behind.
Ash, Misty, Brock, you taught us to live and to love. But since you are in a show marketed to children, goodbye my friends.
May, Max, Drew. Some of us never met you, but I'm sure we would have liked you.
Contests? What are those? Nevertheless, you helped someone too.
Dawn, Paul, Barry, I'm sorry to say even less of us met you.
But you taught children kindness and perseverance, so for that we thank you.
Iris, Cilan. Are you ready to be loved and then left behind?
Goodbye.
