# 0_34 There is a mysterious notebook here.
Its age is impossible to tell.
“It was by pure chance that I obtained
information about the Pokémon ROTOM.
“Remarkably, ROTOM has the ability to
enter and merge with special motors.
“It’s now known that ROTOM can stay
inside a motor almost indefinitely.
“However, it will emerge if it enters a
Union Room or a Wi-Fi Club.
“ROTOM will also emerge from the motor
if it is left at the Day Care.
“ROTOM may also forget certain moves
when it leaves a motor.
“This Pokémon requires exhaustive
observation and analysis.
“To ensure I get all the credit, my
ROTOM research must be kept secret.
“They will come to recognize me as the
scientific genius Char...”
The rest of the notebook is blank.
# 0_35 Rowan: Ah, imagine finding you here!
You must be eager to fill your Pokédex
to be searching even here.
What am I doing?
I visit a professor I know in Eterna
every so often.
He tells me intriguing rumors of rare
Pokémon sightings and such.
# 0_36 A Pokémon that slips into electric
appliances, you say...
Hmm...
That is somewhat off from what I’ve
heard about it.
Hmm...
This is what I’ve heard.
Long ago, there was a Pokémon that
merged with a toy robot.
Should that Pokémon be recognized as a
new species or not...
Debates over the issue were about to
start when they were rendered moot.
The very topic of discussion--the
Pokémon-infused robot--disappeared...
# 0_37 Anyway, this ROTOM...
What an interesting Pokémon.
So, you say it enters an appliance and
essentially merges with the device.
In the process, it may also learn new
moves.
In a way, I suppose it could be thought
of as a mechanical Pokémon.
Hmm...!
Though it is utterly unique, it is
undeniably a form of Pokémon.
Fine, fine, so be it!
No matter how old one gets, there will
always be new Pokémon discoveries!
Take care, VAR(259, 0, 0)!
# 0_38 It’s an old notebook.
There’s no telling how old it is.
Would you like to read it?
# 0_39 “Our encounter was a sudden one.
“It was when I found my toy robot,
one that I had earlier misplaced.
“At that instant, a Pokémon startlingly
emerged from the lawn mower’s motor!
“Clutching my robot, I stared,
transfixed by the peculiar Pokémon.”
...Would you like to keep reading?
# 0_40 “The Pokémon hovered in the air, held
aloft by a power unseen.
“As if curious and unafraid of my
presence, it floated toward me.
“Crackling sounds accompanied it, as
if from static electricity in the air.
“Remarkably, it seemed the Pokémon
was the source of this power!
“In alarm, I flinched, certain that my
face would be subjected to a shock.
“Much to my surprise, the Pokémon
seemed to favor me with a smile.”

# 0_41 “Finally, I came to realize that the
Pokémon only wished to be friends.
“I have decided to name this most
wondrous Pokémon ’ROTOM.’
“Simple though it may be, ROTOM emerged
to me from the motor of a lawn mower.
“Motor and ROTOM...
Surely the link is obvious?”
...Would you like to keep reading?
# 0_42 “ROTOM is a Pokémon that is simply
sensational.
“The fact that it can turn invisible is
simply the beginning.
“What makes ROTOM unique is its ability
to enter and operate machinery!”
...This is about halfway through.

# 0_43 “ROTOM and I became fast friends.
We were perpetual companions.
“The electricity from its body forbade
contact, however.
“We could not touch, let alone hug or
hold hands, but we cared not.
“For we were bonded on a much deeper,
incorporeal level.”
...Would you like to keep reading?
# 0_44 “A feeling of mischief got the better
of me one day.
“Seeing ROTOM hovering, I decided to
startle it--normally I would not.
“Perhaps frightened, ROTOM discharged
power beyond its usual range.
“I fell, stunned, into the arms of
unconsciousness...”
...Would you like to keep reading?
# 0_45 “When I came to, to my horror I
realized that ROTOM had disappeared.
“I searched high and low for my friend
in dismay and desperation.
“’Don’t chastise yourself.’
“’The fault is mine. No harm done.’
“’Let us play as we always have.’
“Though my words poured out, my friend
could not be found to hear them...”
...Would you like to keep reading?
# 0_46 “My search for ROTOM carried me far
from home.
“It was in the town’s rubbish heap that
I again found my old toy robot.
“Curiously, our eyes met, then the
robot waved a hand as if in greeting.
“I knew then that I had found my lost
friend.
“I ran to it and hugged ROTOM tight,
talking on and on.”
...Would you like to keep reading?
# 0_47 “The robot’s eyes lit up happily as
I held it.
“I’m certain that, within it, ROTOM was
emitting lots of electricity.
“Somehow, I felt I could understand
ROTOM’s thoughts better than before.
“Also, I realized that we would remain
friends throughout our lives...”
