[color=f7941d][i]Ah, there it is.[/i][/color] Malcolm thought to himself. [color=f7941d][i]I thought maybe the nurses around here were all just nice.[/i][/color]

[color=f7941d]"Thanks again, Nurse Alice!" [/color] He called out to her as she walked away.

[color=2e3192]"Zu, zu!" [/color][color=fff200]"Buzz!"[/color]

Malcolm waited a moment for Split to chime in for her thanks. After hearing nothing, he turned to Split, who was just sitting cross legged floating.

[color=f7941d]"You gotta at least say thanks, Split."[/color]

Split remained silent, and Malcolm sighed.

[color=f7941d]
"One of these days, Split, you'll learn to talk to people. One of these days."[/color]

Malcolm said nothing to the older nurse and walked out of the pokécenter. The weather outside had warmed up a bit with the sun being out and the cold wasn't as unbearable as it was before. 

[color=f7941d]
"Alright, to the library to use their computer. Hopefully there's something I can pick up quick, there usually isn't a whole lot going on in the winter."[/color]

[color=fff200]"Buzz?"[/color]

[color=f7941d]
"What was that?"[/color]

[color=fff200]"Electabuzz."[/color]

[color=f7941d]
"There's a computer in the pokemon center?"[/color]

[color=fff200]
"Buzz."[/color]

[color=f7941d]"Ah, shit. Shoulda just used that one." [/color]Malcolm grumbled. [color=f7941d]"Well, I think our luck with nice people has run out today, if that old nurse was a sign of anything. Let's just make our way over, it's not that long of a walk."[/color]

[color=92278f]"Abra."[/color]

[color=f7941d]"So you pipe up when you want to sass me, huh?" [/color]Malcolm laughed sardonically.[color=f7941d] "Anyone else want to ridicule me? How about you Screech?"[/color]

[color=2e3192]"Zu!"[/color]

[color=f7941d]"Yeesh, everyone is a critic..."[/color] Malcolm sighed as he walked off towards the library.
