"Well, I had the Cray back at home anyalize the code, then I went through it myself. Its much simular to our 'secure bank transactions' we ended up fixing for the Bank of PokéLand. Current software in all the gyms and centers will still work for a few days, but then everyone needs to have the security update. All the patches for this you can get at your local Pokémon Center and almost all the gyms except Saffron's Gym, which he or she doesn't accept E-Mail from here. I have to deliver it to him or her personally." >"This is just like the movies," said Fox, "you know, like Terminator II. >Where that kid hacks into a mainframe with a tiny Atari type thing." > They all had a good laugh. Giselle goes into a "Sailor V" pose. "Hee hee." She giggles as she sits back down. >"Are you sure you're not the Giselle from Pokemon Tech?" asked Karen. Before >she came, she heard that the Giselle from Pokemon Tech and knew her >reputation >for showing off. She glares at Karen. "No I am not Karen. You wanna go over there and prove it?", then giggles softly. > > "To Saffron City," Steve muttered. > "So Karen, how does the Eevee look?" Steve asked. > "You know, it was kinda ackward explaining the tire tracks you left on it," >said Karen. > "I'm sorry," Steve apologized as he entered the car. "So do you think >you'll >use the Thunder Stone on it?" > "Soon," Karen answered. > "That's good," Steve said as he smiled and flipped on the radio. Until he >heard the song "Livin' La Vida Loca" play. > "That's it, I'm switching to the oldies station," he muttered. > "Hey, I love that song!" Gohan shouted as he began to hum. > "Anyway, Karen, what's the shortest way to Saffron City?" he asked. > "There's a road up ahead we can take," she responded. > "Perfect," Steve replied. Then he began humming. "In-side, In-side-out, >she >was livin' la vid--Ah, cripes, now you have that song stuck in my head!" > "Sorry," Gohan apologized. > "I hate when that happens," Karen said empathetically. She pulls out her minidisk-man and puts the headphones on. "This is why I carry my own music. One, so that way I don't get bored on the way if I was alone and two... well you get the point... besides, I remember the time.." Gohan shuts her up.. "OOhhkayy.. just listen to your music! I wanna hear mine!" She hums a lil, noting the words, "In the citaay.... Saffron City! In the citaay.. Good o' Pewter! In the citaay... City of Cerulean! We keep it rockin'...".. Karen and Gohan look at her. "Well.. at least I'm not singing 'Are we there yet?'" <end transmission> =============================== ~Giselle Nabiki @ my own Mainframe ^_^ Newsgroup Sig v3.1 (Shareware Newsgroup Sig.) =============================== W.W.J.D.? http://members.aol.com/giseiie/wwjd.jpg "Beware... for your money might be managed by Pokémon fanatics...be it may your banker, your CEO, your broker, or your mutual fund manager."
