But...

Past a certain point I got the feeling he had become more mechanical in his treatment of me.

I skipped out on intensive training for the first time.

I wanted to be scolded.

But he didn't say anything.

Yo, newbie.

My name's 40. It's 40 'cause I'm the 40th one here.

By the way, this one doesn't have a name, he's just Magikarp.

And you?

I... I don't have a name yet, either.

I see...

Ever since a certain generation, he's stopped giving us names!

He doesn't love us anymore...
