# 0_0 “There is one man
who wanders the world\f
with a black dragon Pokémon\f
to pursue ideals..."
That's part of a novel I'm writing.
I want to write down the event\f
that happened on that day...
Sorry, it has nothing to do with you...
You're a challenger, right?
I'm the Elite Four's Ghost-type
Pokémon user, Shauntal, and I\f
shall be your opponent.

# 0_2 My Pokémon and the challenger's Pokémon.
Everyone battled even though
they were hurt... Thank you.
# 0_3 Fortitude is needed if you're going
to battle, don't you think?
Because both you and your opponent
get hurt.
But if you don't understand the pain,
you'll focus on the result and forget\f
about the bonds with your Pokémon.
That's why I want to write passages
full of heart and soul in my novels.
# 0_4 Challenger, if you defeat the entire
Elite Four of the Pokémon League,\f
you can go on to challenge the Champion.
And you have earned that right.
Return to the plaza in the center
and check the statue.
# 0_5 “‘Go, Volcarona!
Use Heat Wave here!'\f
The Trainer solemnly ordered\f
the Pokémon who resembled\f
his first partner..."
That's part of a novel I wrote.
I absolutely love writing about the close
bonds between the Trainers and\f
the Pokémon that I've competed against.
Could I use you and your Pokémon as
a subject?
# 0_6 “‘Do you know Thunderbolt?' was
his first greeting to me.
It wasn't until after we battled that
I learned his name was Volkner."

# 0_7 “‘Hey, you! Use Overheat!'
A Fire-type Pokémon user
with a hairstyle that would be great\f
with Head Charge just gave the order\f
and left..."

bonds between the Trainers and\f

# 0_8 “The woman who uses Ghost types,
and the woman who uses Ground types.
I couldn't ask the reason
why their names and appearances\f
are so similar."

# 0_9 “‘Yes. My code name is Looker.'
He sounded a bit aloof, but his partner
Croagunk's strategy was tricky."

I absolutely love writing about the close
bonds between the Trainers and\f
the Pokémon that I've competed against.

# 0_10 All the Pokémon on both sides
battled so bravely.\f
Even though they got hurt...
Thank you.
# 0_11 It's important to be tough and resilient
when you battle, don't you think?
You have to accept that both sides will
get hurt. You have to understand that\f
the pain of losing is a natural outcome.
If you just focus on winning, you can
forget that the bond between you and\f
your Pokémon is the most important thing.
I try to focus on that bond in my novels.
I want them to be full of heart and soul!
# 0_12 Challenger, if you defeat the entire
Elite Four of the Pokémon League, you\f
can go on to challenge the Champion.
And you have earned that right.
Your story is yours and yours alone.
Please weave a wonderful tale!
