Mudkip: ...

Mudkip: You're weird. I haven't seen you around here before. What's your name?

Ginji: GINJI!

Mudkip: "Ginji"... Even your name is weird!

Mudkip: I'm Mudkip.

Ginji: Ginji's a normal name for a human!

Mudkip: A ha ha ha!

Mudkip: For a human, huh?

Ginji: I have no idea what's going on, but the one thing that's clear is ...

Ginji: I AM A TORCHIC!!!

VWP

Ginji: Where are we anyway?

Mudkip: This is my training ground.

Ginji: Ummm

Mudkip: AAAAAH!!

SLIP

Ginji: He sure has slow reflexes!

Ginji: What do you mean "training"?

Ginji: These are all toys.

Mudkip: My dream is to be part of a Rescue Team...

Mudkip: But...

Mudkip: Since I'm small, and kind of a coward, and don't really have any skills, I started training really hard here.

YAAY YAAY ZZZ

Ginji: This looks more like playing to me...

Mudkip: But I'm not getting any stronger!!

Ginji: ...

Mudkip: The earthquake...

Mudkip: ... It's a sign that I should give up, isn't it?

Ginji: You're gonna quit?

Mudkip: ... Yes.

Mudkip: I probably couldn't ever make the Rescue Team anyway ...

Mudkip: ... But you know... I still have this feeling that if I just tried a little harder, I'd be able to master a skill...

Ginji: What?!

Mudkip: Naw, no...It's impossible for me... Or is it?

Mudkip: ...Well ...

Mudkip: HMM HMM ...

Mudkip: What should I do now?

Ginji: He's so wishy washy! I can't deal with this!

Mudkip: Huh, where are you going?

Ginji: The police!

SHK SHK SHK

Mudkip: ? The Police? What's that?

Mudkip: Hey, come on! Tell me.

Ginji: Bottom line, I've gotta find some clue to how I transformed like this!

GWOOH

Ginji: ?!

Ginji: What's that gigantic hole?

TK TK...

Mudkip: Ginji, Be careful! It's dangerous!

Mudkip: It looks really deep! That earthquake must have made it!
