One day, checking the mail box...

I've found a pokéball.

What, why? Is this a prank?

Ah, a suspicious, prankish letter.

To my neighbour. Please take care of this little one. Your neighbour.

Wha-...

Poonccino. The poor student and the Minccino.

Well, it'll be simpler if I just go asking him.

There's no one in the left apartment...

So the only neighbour I have is this one.

Now that I think of it, I've never talked with my neighbour...I've started going to school right after I moved here, so I haven't even got the time to say hello.

The landlord said he lives alone, but after one year I've never even seen his face, that's a bit...ah, now I'm a bit nervous.

Uh, he isn't home...?

They said he moved yesterday!

Woah, sor-

UH?

Bah...

Even the landlord didn't know to where he moved.

We never met, we never talked, and yet he left his pokémon to me, then he left...my neighbour looked like a really serious person...

Now I'm in trouble...I've never raised a pokémon before.

I should try opening it...

...shouldn't i?

No, no, hold on.

What if there's a Stunfisk inside...I won't fucking raise it. I'll lost all my self-confidence if I even make an eye contact with him...

And then, if there's a small pokémon then it's all right, but if there's Onix, it'll destroy my whole apartment in the blink of an eye...aw shit, I'm already in trouble even to check what's inside it, why haven't you wrote a note about what pokémon is it, neighbour!?

So you went to sleep without even checking what's inside?

Inside Castelia City's University

I had to choose a place to open it...I've thought to go in a park, but at night it's full of bullies, so I stayed home.

Geez, why didn't you give me a call?

(an overseas student)

I was so curious I haven't almost slept...I'm sooo sleepy.

It was too late...

No, I mean...

If you hold down the central switch on the ball, you can read the recorded informations.

I could have just told you this...

...uh?

It's common knowledge, you know.

...!!!

IF YOU KNEW THIS, WHY HAVEN'T YOU CALLED ME YESTERDAAAY!!

Ah ah ah, sometimes you can be so irrational!

Well, now you can just open it.

At this point, it's faster than reading the informations.

Y-yeah, right.

No, wait a minute.

Nh?

What should I say to the pokémon, when it'll pop out? Can I just tell him "you've been abandoned"?

...you don't really have to say anything.

What if it goes on the rampage for being abandoned?

Whatever, just open it.

Why were you imagining a Stunkfish?

GHA-!

Waaah!

*smoke*

Oooh!

A Minccino!

So it wasn't a Stunfisk...

...it's giving us the stink eye...

Stink eye? It's menacing us! But it's obvious, since when its ball opened, it saw two unknown guys.

Ah, well...

...as I thought, it seems that its previous owner didn't tell anything to this pokémon.

Uh?

Look, it's looking around.

*nervous*

*nervous*

He's probably looking for his trainer.

Ah, wait!

...there it goes...

It hasn't been traded, it has been unilaterally sold out. It didn't know anything, just, suddenly...

Don't you run after it?

Nah...even if I catch it, I haven't got the time to train it...

And then, if it ran away from me...

...it means that it doesn't want to stay with me. I think the best thing to do is to let it do what it likes...

...or maybe I got it all wrong.

So that's what you decided, then...

But your neighbour asked to you, didn't he?

That was some selfish way to ask things! He's imposed it to me.

He couldn't raise it anymore, but he felt bad about abandoning it, so he just left it in his neighbour's room! That's what he did!

Aaah, I feel like I've been used...this pisses me off!

You're quite selfish too, you know?

Hey, come on, buy me something!

Still gives the impression of a prank...
