Makoto, an anxious, short high school boy is on a ferry, accompanied by a tiny yellow rodent with light pink cheeks. The boy's large eyes widen in surprise as he notices the image of an island fading into the distance. "Look, Pichu!" he exclaims, extending his pointer finger towards the incoming landmass. "That's Melemele Island right there!"

Excited, Pichu climbs onto her Trainer's shoulder in order to get a better view. It is at this moment that a wild Magikarp Splashes out of the water and onto the deck. "Pi!" the Tiny Mouse Pokémon squeaks in surprise and accidentally releases a Thunder Shock attack, shocking Makoto in the process.

"Cripes, Pichu... You really need to learn how to handle those hiccups of yours." Makoto whines, returning to his seat.

"Chu..." Pichu's eyes begin to water.

"Don't 'Chu' me... You know that's the arm I throw my Pokeballs with, and now I can't feel it."

Pichu coyly nudges Makoto's limp arm and kisses it. "Aww... You're kissing it to make it feel better? How Sweet of you--" Makoto stops mid-sentence as soon as he realizes Pichu's actual intentions. Before he gets the chance to do anything about him, his working left hand has already begun balling into a fist against his will.
