McCann quotes from Pokémon

Grandpa, shouldn’t you wrap this up soon?

I suppose. No sense wasting anymore of my time. [to Scizor] Scizor, Hyper Beam, let’s go!

Really? You want an air battle with me again?

Sure is, it’s great!

That’s real progress

Pikachu

Pika, Pika!

Piplup, Piplup!

Yeah, that performance really wasn’t bad at all.

Indeed. Tell me, Ash. How would you like to leave Gliscor with me for a little training?

Leave Gliscor here?

[stunned] Whoa, I don’t know what to say.
