May 7
First official day as an International Police officer.
Arrived at my new workpce. Just as expected—the entire Kanto branch is empty.
According to Lance, my predecessor and the rest of my colleagues vanished while investigating Team Rocket.
They're probably locked up in some dark basement of Team Rocket right now.
Unfortunately, I'm just a rookie and can't do much to help.
May Ho-Oh bless their souls.

May 8
Second day on the job.
As expected of International Police—the "international" in the name really does mean big budget.
Every single officer is equipped with high-end computers and bzing-fast internet.
Tried an online battle—zero g.
It's like pying directly on the server.
Wait… I am pying directly on the server!
Time to dominate.
---
May 9 –
Bad mood.
Lost an online battle.
That bastard "Freon is the Best" not only beat me but had the audacity to send me a private message to gloat.
What is he, a little kid?!
Checked his IP address—Stonetown, huh?
Heh. If I ever catch you in person, you're dead meat.
---
May 10
No more online battles today.
Spent the morning scking off as usual.
For lunch, decided to try the League's free cafeteria instead of ordering takeout.
Unexpectedly, the League HQ has two separate meal counters—One for humans, and one for Pokémon.
How… Pokémon-friendly.
Food for humans? Delicious.Food for Pokémon? Tested by Gardevoir and Dratini—both gave it rave reviews.
Moved to tears.
Thinking back to my ranger days—living in the wild, eating whatever I could find…
Absolute hell.
Decision made—from now on, all three meals will be at the cafeteria.

May 11
Scked off.

May 12
Scked off.

May 13
August, get a grip!
Did you forget why you joined International Police in the first pce?!
On the bright side, Dratini and I have bonded enough now.
Starting training tomorrow!
---
May 14 –
Gave Dratini a Dragon Fang to hold.
Dratini, you're a big girl now.
Time to start training on your own!
Meanwhile—scked off and cuddled with Gardevoir.
---
May 15
Was scking off when (redacted) decided to mock me.
Apparently, I've been scking off for a full week—and the system actually gave me a new title:
[Master of Scking Off]
Insulting.
…But since it came with a Master-tier Pokéblock recipe, I'll let it slide.
Starting serious work tomorrow.
---
May 16
First day of Dratini's training.
Once again, amazed by International Police's benefits—Not only do we have dedicated training grounds inside League HQ,
But I can also walk into the Pokémon Center anytime, show my ID, and get free TMs.
No charge at all.
Absolutely god-tier perks.
---
May 17
Day two of training.
Even though I already expected Dratini to be talented, her progress still exceeded my expectations.
Only half a day to master Dragon Tail.
Honestly? Her potential is just a tiny bit behind my unbeatable shiny Gardevoir.
---
May 18
What a joke.
Took Dratini for a full-body checkup today.
The League's AI system analyzed her growth and estimated—
At this rate, it'll take 20 years for her to evolve into Dragonite.
"Future prospects look bright!"
To hell with that—who has time for twenty years?!
Need to find a way to speed up Dratini's growth.
---
May 19
Did some research in the League's database.
Discovered that Pokémon growth can be accelerated through held items and special dietary supplements.
Which means—giving Dratini a Dragon Fang was the right move.
…Wait.
Does "feeding" mean I have to grind the Dragon Fang into powder?!
---
May 20
Continued Dratini's training.
Decided to test yesterday's theory.
Consulted Nurse Joy—got confirmation that it was safe.
Used a file to shave off a small amount of Dragon Fang powder—
Mixed it into Dratini's food.
No noticeable effects yet. Will observe tomorrow.
---
May 21
Incredible results!
Checked the system panel—Dratini leveled up instantly.
I was right!
…But turning boosting items into consumables is kinda expensive.
Reality isn't a game.
Just one Dragon Fang costs more than my entire two-and-a-half-year sary.
Still, worth it if it means Dratini gets stronger faster.
---
May 22
The effect is still ongoing.
Dratini hasn't fully absorbed the Dragon Fang powder yet.
---
May 23
Another level up.
Dratini has gained three levels now!
Should I publish a research paper?
…Nah, I'd just get ughed at for burning money like an idiot.
---
May 24
Fed Dratini another dose of Dragon Fang powder.
Starting to feel a little bored.
With no boss breathing down my neck, there's no chance of promotions or raises.
Might as well look into old case files.
I want to see exactly what kind of mission wiped out the entire Kanto branch.
---
May 25
Got permission from Lance.
Pulled up my predecessors' investigation files.
Reading thoroughly.
---
May 26
Something feels off.
Need to double-check.
---
May 27
If I'm not mistaken—
This case is seriously messed up.

T/N: ohhhh ye you can probably tell August isn't the original name the original name dun dun dun is Yuan! Xia Yuan! what a coincidence... the other story was Luo Yuan...
