From the title, you've probably guessed already... the next pattern will be: PIKACHU!
To be honest, I'm not a big fan of Pikachu, because of how much merchandise and attention he gets over Skitty; I really believe Skitty deserves waaayyy more love XD
But, that being said, I still adore Pikachu :3

Abbreviations:
