"Look, it wasn't even my idea... not at first...

Okay, so, it started about a month back, I guess. We sometimes have Pokémon in for overnight observation - grave injuries, Pokérus infections, study, stuff like that - they stay out of their Pokéballs whenever that happens, and we have the observation area - it's the room through the back door - that they can use...

Alright, so, um... yeah. We had the Ninetales in about a month back, and we were told that he wanted to be held for overnight observation. No, yeah, it wasn't his trainer that brought him in - it was a trainer, but wasn't his. He even gave us a Pokéball, but yeah, that was a dud - we don't think he's even been caught.

A-anyway... we get him in, and then everyone else goes home. I close for a few hours, you know, cleaning and maintenance and the like, and then... he comes in... he just walks in from the back room, and I immediately feel like something's up. I can remember, that look in his eyes, that smirk on his face, his teeth shining in the light of the screen as he walked closer and closer and I couldn't stop him as he came up to me and, and, underneath, I could see it, and I knew, I just knew, then, that, he'd planned this... he'd planned every bit...

...

I suggested he be held for further study. For another few days, then a week, then two, and then three...

I guess... I guess I should have turned off the console, huh...

And the cameras...
