voice from behind him...

got the talent to participate in the
Pokéathlon... Well, train with me and I’ll

He walked alone around the town
contemplating.
Maximo: Aw, man! Why does it bother me
what that old guy says anyway?
And what in the world is a “Pokéathlon”?
Narrator: Maximo kicked a radio someone
dropped in the street.
Radio: ...Piii... Gagagagaga...
Here’s... Player arrived... Goal!

broadcast suddenly burst forth from the

talking about? Is this it?!

something he truly wanted to do, but
in front of it stood his old friends...
Maximo: Sorry, I’m not the guy I was...
Henchman 147: Huh? What are you talking
about, Boss? Are you pushing us, your
best friends, aside to become some kind
of do-gooder?
Narrator: Bam! Pow! It was obvious this
wasn’t a fair fight--one versus 214.

who had invited Maximo to participate in
the Pokéathlon...

Bring it on! I’ll show you!
Narrator: BAM! POW!
Maximo: There’s no way that old man could
possibly win against all of my old
henchmen, right...?

have the talent to compete in the
Pokéathlon!
Narrator: Maximo thought that it was the
old man’s attacks that felled all 214 of
his former henchmen, but it was actually
the combined strength of the three
Pokémon that the old man had with him
that knocked them out.
Not aware of what really happened,
Maximo was moved.
Maximo: I... I want to compete in the
Pokéathlon, too! Please, teach me!
Old man: Ha ha...! My training regimen is
very strict!
Narrator: Maximo’s eyes sparkled with
excitement...
Maximo: ...But tell me, what is a
Pokéathlon?

disbelief...

is just beginning...

has grown into quite a responsible
young man.
Every so often, Maximo remembers that
old man, and wonders what he’s
doing now...

old man now, Mr. Maximo?

other delinquents like yourselves and
turn their lives around.
Student 214: What did you call us?!

strange old man did go looking for
delinquents...to help them find their
life’s goals...to become number one!
