# 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 boyfriend!
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 love...)
(...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 person I love,
I'll crush him.
I'm a monster--a piteous monster!
I can't get married like this!
What I'm saying, VAR(256, 1), is...
You don't want to be with a monster woman\f
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 love you whatever size you are,
and I'll be at your side forever!
# 0_41 Monica: VAR(256, 1)...
# 0_42 VAR(256, 1): Oh, Monica...
# 0_43 Monica: VAR(256, 1)...
# 0_44 Even as Monica and I smiled at each other,
Mr. River interrupted with a sudden shout.
He said the Poké Ball my girlfriend was in
popped and broke.
But Monica's body didn't go back
to normal all at once...
# 0_45 ...
As the seasons passed, she grew smaller,
little by little...
Living with the giant-sized Monica sometimes
brought trouble along with it,\f
but I never let it bother me...
Eventually, after I had become an old man
and Monica had become an old woman,\f
our heights finally became the same...
# 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 her...
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 Monica'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 Monica'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 Monica,
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: We came here last summer, remember?
# 0_76 VAR(256, 1): Uh, yeah. Yeah.
# 0_77 Monica: I knew it. You don't remember.
VAR(256, 1), this is how you always are.
Same now as then. That was the
first time in my life that I wore a bikini,\f
but, VAR(256, 1), you didn't even notice.
# 0_78 VAR(256, 1): Now I remember!
You were pretty mad that day, too!
# 0_79 Monica: Well, duh!
VAR(256, 1). I'd been putting a lot of
effort into dieting so I could wear it, just\f
because I wanted you to say I'm pretty...
But you didn't even notice.
I was frustrated.
# 0_80 VAR(256, 1): Sorry...
# 0_81 Monica: Oh, well.
We had a good time that day, anyway.
I wonder if we'll be able to have fun
like that again...
