Good news: I’ve got a job. Bad news: I’ve been abandoned on
a road at night by my friends and new employer. Also, I’m competing with my
friends to see who can catch the most Pokémon. All I’ve got is an
uncoordinated dog and a handful of Pokéballs.
Let’s get this started.
That wasn’t too bad… No rabid monsters yet. Hey buddy, can
you help me?
It means I need to get off this road before I die. Oh, a
sign! How far is it to the next town?
So I was just unlucky with that guy?
Hey in there! The sign says you might help me.
For now. He won’t stand up for long if we get into a fight.
Holy crap, the sign was right. Do you also happen to know
how to teach a dog karate?
Wait… What was that?
Oh my God, it’s started!
Wait for it, Raph, wait for it…
Okay, that. Copy that.
Did it work?
Hell yes! Raph finally knows an attack. Okay, now I throw
the ball, right?
Everything’s coming up Leo!
We did it, Raph! We’re still in this game!

Oh, another one, eh? Raph, use Tackle!
First blood, Raph!
Well at least I know where I still am now, right? Is that
Cheren up ahead? I better get one last catch in.
Oh. My. God. Is that an Aerodactyl? That’s an Aerodactyl!
What are the chances? We gotta get this, Raph.
Hang in there, buddy.
We got it, Raph. We got an Aerodactyl. I think Bianca and
Cheren are gonna be impressed with this.
Damn, that was close.

If it comes down to quality, I think we’ve won this.
‘Sup guys. See anything interesting?
Good for you. Guess what I’ve got. Go on, guess.
Three.
It’s not the number I’m excited about.
What? Oh, my watch is ringing.
Oh, hey Pokémon Professor! We're fine...
After you left us
alone…
On the side of a road…
At night….
Surrounded by rabid dogs and giant rock-birds.
Is that the story you’re going with? It was for our own
good?
Wait, how did you get my phone number?
Dammit. Answer the question!
Yeah, you do that. I’m gonna see if this town has any real trainers for me to fight.
What better claim to fame can a town have?
A Smeargle. I know they’re not usually from around here but…
…
Are you calling me French?
Knock knock. Anybody home? You are? Damn.
Two. Aerodactyls are hard to catch.
I was wondering if you had a TV I could steal. But I guess I
could be persuaded to leave for twenty bucks.
Score.
Oh hey, Cheren. Just hanging out in the town square? Don’t
wanna go to the Pokémon Center?
Real battles
again, Cheren? Screw you. I have a giant rock bird now.
Oh, you guys look important. I think I’ll head back this
way.
Knock knock.
Score.
Hey dude, what are you looking at?
It’s nice, I guess. Might look better in the day time.
Um. Sure…
Alright, let’s get this started.
Is it? I wouldn’t have guessed. Hey Bianca, did you know
this is a Pokémon Center?
Free health care? What kind of business model is that?
To bed. It’s after midnight, haven’t you noticed?
Fine.
Thirty seconds later…
You hope my Pokémon get messed up enough to require hospital
treatment? What kind of sick person are you?
Wait, where should we go from here?
An inventor?
Do you have, like, an address? Or maybe a phone number or
something?
Come on, lady, you gotta give me more to go on than that!
Wow, she runs fast. What’s this about the plaza?
Why are all these people out at midnight?
Who?
Oh. This is one of those.
You mean should we vote for him? Nah.
And only a handful of iPhones.
Is that a Spanish accent I detect?
Hey Cheren, finally I know someone with a dumber name than
you.
Pleased to meet you.
Wait, what? What evil monster?
What, Cheren?
Sure can!
Dog versus cat. The ultimate battle of nature.
Claws? Why haven’t we thought of that, Raph? See if you can
do that!
Hell yeah!
Dog beats cat.
That’s more like it. We’re finally making money, Raph.
I didn’t know Purrloin’s could scream swears, either.
Was that marriage thing your policy?
See ya, I guess.
At 2:30 in the morning?
Fine. Good luck with that. I’m gonna catch some beauty
sleep.
Wait. What was that thing about the monster?
