# 0_2 VAR(256, 1): Monica...
# 0_3 Monica: Oh, me! Ohhhh, my!
I knew it. I'm still a giant.
Tell me, VAR(256, 1)...
Am I gonna be this way forever?
# 0_4 VAR(256, 1): Might as well give up.
# 0_5 Monica: Ohhhhh, wait!
Are you gonna give up so easily?
You're my sister!
Don't you care what happens to me?
Think of something so I can be normal again!
# 0_6 VAR(256, 1): I'll get it sorted out!
# 0_7 Monica: Oh, please think fast!
I can't go on living like this.\f
I'll die of shame!
# 0_8 VAR(256, 1): OK, first? Calm down.
# 0_9 Monica: I know.
But I can't help worrying.
I'm scared of what I might do!
# 0_10 VAR(256, 1): Mr. River, how can
we get Monica back to normal?
# 0_11 River: We need a way to lift the curse
on that miserable Poké Ball...
Let me think...
At its core, a curse is a power of the mind.
So, if you could show a power of the mind
with more strength than the curse\f
affecting the Poké Ball...\f
Surely, then, she will...
# 0_12 VAR(256, 1): A power of the mind?
# 0_13 River: Yes.
What I mean is something like
a very strong feeling for her...\f
Like a strong feeling of love...
VAR(256, 1)...
You may be the only one who can do this...
# 0_14 VAR(256, 1): ...
# 0_15 Monica: Grrrr! Agggggghh!
VAR(256, 1)!
This whole thing is your fault!
From the very start!
# 0_16 VAR(256, 1): I'm sorry...
# 0_17 Monica: You're always saying sorry...
But do you truly feel sorry?
# 0_18 VAR(256, 1): Is that what you think?
# 0_19 Monica: Are you even paying attention?
This all happened because you bought
that strange Poké Ball in the first place!
# 0_20 VAR(256, 1): Now, don't get upset.
# 0_21 Monica: Of course I'm upset!
I'm upset you got me into this mess!
# 0_22 VAR(256, 1): Aww...
(...What should I do now?...)
(...Somehow, I need to show
the strength of my affection...)
(...But Monica won't listen if
I just say words...)
# 0_23 Monica: Hey! VAR(256, 1)!
Are you spacing out?
Are you going to help me?! Yes or no!
# 0_24 VAR(256, 1): I just don't know...
# 0_25 Monica: What? You don't know?!
VAR(256, 1)... I get it.
I'm just a pain in the neck to you\f
because of what I've become...
# 0_26 VAR(256, 1): I'm thinking, but...
# 0_27 Monica: What do you mean, “but"?
But what?
# 0_28 VAR(256, 1): But--I'm thinking!
# 0_29 Monica: VAR(256, 1).
Thinking, talking, anything!
When it comes to doing--nothing!
Your words say nothing!
Your actions say it all!
# 0_30 VAR(256, 1): Monica...
# 0_31 Monica: Ehhhhk!
VAR(256, 1), you're all words and no action!
My life is over!
# 0_32 VAR(256, 1): MONICA!!
# 0_33 Monica: Don't yell at me, VAR(256, 1)!
Even though I'm so big,
you don't have to be so loud!
# 0_34 VAR(256, 1): Monica!
Please...
Just listen to what I'm going to say!
# 0_35 Monica: What?
I guess I'll have this enormous body
for the rest of my life...\f
Living forever as a monster!
Just touching the people I care about
will crush them.
I'm a monster--a piteous monster!
I can't have a life like this!
What I'm saying, VAR(256, 1), is...
You don't want to waste your time with a\f
monster sister like me, do you?
# 0_36 VAR(256, 1): Not...true...
# 0_37 Monica: All right, enough.
I...hate...everyone!!
VAR(256, 1)!
I don't want to see your face anymore!
# 0_38 VAR(256, 1): Monica! Knock it off!!
# 0_39 Monica: VAR(256, 1)...
# 0_40 VAR(256, 1): Now, listen! Monica!
I'm not going to change!
Even if you stay the size you are now,
it makes no difference!
I'm your sister whatever size you are. I'll
care about you and stay with you forever!
# 0_41 Monica: VAR(256, 1)...
# 0_42 VAR(256, 1): Oh, Monica...
# 0_43 Monica: Yes...
# 0_44 Even as Monica and I smiled at each other,
Mr. River interrupted with a sudden shout.
He said the Poké Ball my sister was in
popped and broke.
Before my eyes, Monica's body became
smaller, smaller, and smaller...
# 0_45 A curse...a power of the mind...
I don't understand any of
what Mr. River said...
But my sister is my family...
That's something you just can't replace!
And as she returned to her proper size,
I threw myself into my sister's arms.
# 0_46 Monica: Sigh...
That's enough... I'm tired...
I'm tired of everything--
You who made me like this,
this world, and everything...
# 0_47 VAR(256, 1): M-Monica...
# 0_48 Monica: Farewell, VAR(256, 1).
I'll never see you again.
# 0_49 VAR(256, 1): Monica, wait...
Where are you going?
# 0_50 Monica: It doesn't matter...
Somewhere where there's nobody else...
Because I'm no longer a human.
# 0_51 With those words, Monica turned her back
and vanished into the distant sea...
...
Since then, 10 years have passed.
I'm still searching for my sister...
Ah, Monica...
I wonder where you are...
I wonder what you're doing now...
# 0_52 Monica: VAR(256, 1)...
Ugh... It hurts...
...
# 0_53 VAR(256, 1): Sorry...
Sorry, Monica...
I couldn't think of any other way...
# 0_54 River: Hey... She lost consciousness.
What are you doing?
VAR(256, 1)...
# 0_55 VAR(256, 1): ...
Well, Mr. River...
Please give the Poké Ball
back to me now...
# 0_56 River: No. Impossible.
She's too dangerous. And this Poké Ball
is too dangerous for this world...
I cannot give it back to you.
# 0_57 VAR(256, 1): Mr. River, listen carefully.
Whatever my sister's fate is...
I intend to share it.
If you don't give me that Poké Ball now,
I'll get it...\f
Even if I have to take it by force.
# 0_58 River: You...
You think you can threaten me?
Let me enlighten you...
I'm a secret agent.
# 0_59 VAR(256, 1): I've made up my mind, Mr. River.
No matter what happens,
I'm staying at my sister's side...
# 0_60 River: I understand.
I won't try and stop you.
# 0_61 VAR(256, 1): Thank you.
# 0_62 River: What do you plan to do now?
# 0_63 VAR(256, 1): Well...
As long as I'm with my sister,
it doesn't matter where we go...together...
This is good-bye, Mr. River.
# 0_64 River: ...
# 0_65 I am a secret agent--code name: River.
I am responsible for a most enormous error.
I allowed a very dangerous creature and a
very dangerous object--neither of which\f
should exist in this world--to escape.
Having taken the entire responsibility for
their escape, I have resigned my post as\f
a secret agent.
# 0_66 Since then, 10 years have passed...
But there have been no reports about
the gigantic woman since that day.
I wonder what happened to those two...
# 0_67 Monica: To begin with, VAR(256, 1)...
Why did you set your Pokémon on me?
# 0_68 VAR(256, 1): I had no choice. It's terrible.
But there was nothing else I could do.
# 0_69 Monica: VAR(256, 1)...
# 0_70 VAR(256, 1): When you're in pain,
I can't do anything but rely on my Pokémon.\f
I'm disappointed in myself, too!
But there was nothing I could do!
I didn't know what else to do!
# 0_71 Monica: All right...
It's OK, VAR(256, 1)...
# 0_72 VAR(256, 1): Monica...
# 0_73 Monica: Hey, VAR(256, 1)...
Do you remember this beach?
# 0_74 VAR(256, 1): Huh?
# 0_75 Monica: You don't remember, do you...
Of course, you were still pretty little.
# 0_76 VAR(256, 1): When was it?
# 0_77 Monica: When our mom and dad were healthy.
VAR(256, 1), you saw the ocean
for the first time that day...
You couldn't swim yet, but you were so
excited and kept going into the ocean\f
whenever Mom and Dad took their eyes\f
off you for a moment.
# 0_78 VAR(256, 1): Really?
I don't remember it at all.
# 0_79 Monica: I jumped in and swam to you
and grabbed your hand.
You were halfway drowned already!
But you were smiling and having
such a good time.
I found myself laughing.
You were just a carefree kid.\f
You had no idea how scared I felt about you.
# 0_80 VAR(256, 1): I see...
# 0_81 Monica: I feel nostalgic.
Ah...
I wonder if I'll ever be able to play\f
with you like that again...
