Chapter 351: Pokémon Can Also Have Mental Problems
"...This little guy, I made a great decision to leave it in the Kanto region." Sitting in the coffee shop, Heath looked at the man in front of him blankly, but what the other party said made Heath a little confused. He originally thought that this would be a cold-blooded story, or a touching reunion story caused by a mistake, but Heath never expected that this would be a story full of helplessness.
Heath glanced at Mimikyu beside him. Mimikyu drooped its head. It could understand human words, but even so, Mimikyu held its trainer's hand tightly, with no intention of letting go. The man seemed to know Mimikyu's personality, so he just let Mimikyu hold him quietly. However, the man's eyes were complicated. There was no coldness, but a hint of nostalgia and a hint of helplessness.
"Why?" Heath still didn't quite understand. The contact with Mimikyu during this period made Heath feel like an abandoned little animal. It reminded Heath of a cat he had picked up and brought home before. It was a silver tabby cat that was abandoned by its owner and wandered for several months. Later, after Heath took it home, this little guy became very shy and looked nervous all day long.
Not all cats will experience the abandoned cat effect after being abandoned. Some cats will become shy and full of fear of humans, but deep down they yearn for closeness to humans, just like Mimikyu.
"Little Q is good, very smart and very capable, but Little Q has a problem. It can't leave me. As long as I'm not in its sight, it will scream, and then become irritable and restless. It will indiscriminately attack everything around it, and it sticks to me all the time. Can you believe it? I have to take Little Q with me when I take a shower, and even when I want to go to the toilet." The man scratched his hair. He seemed to remember some past that he didn't want to recall. Heath blinked. This did sound a little too clingy.
This is not like finding a Pokémon, but rather finding a surveillance camera. Such a life can indeed make people feel suffocated, just like living in a monitored world, where the whole world is under someone else's eyes, and one's every move is in the sight of others.
"Later, I met my lover, a gentle and beautiful woman. I wanted to build a family with her, but I never expected that Little Q would become the biggest obstacle between us. It attacked my wife, intimidated her, and completely resisted accepting my wife into my life. My wife has always been very tolerant of it, but I couldn't accept that when my wife and I were about to go to bed, it would still look at us with its sharp eyes." The man was also helpless. He didn't like to abandon his Pokémon, and he also had a bond with Little Q, but all of this was almost worn out by the growing dissatisfaction.
"Twenty-four hours a day, Little Q never lets me out of its sight. It holds my hand every day and refuses to go into the Poké Ball. I even feel suffocated. I had a nervous breakdown at that time because no matter what I did, Little Q was watching me." The man sighed, then reached out and subconsciously touched Mimikyu's head.
Heath stared at Mimikyu in a daze. He never thought that such a cute and shy Pokémon like Mimikyu would actually show such an extreme example.
"Have you ever thought about taking it to the Pokémon Center?" Heath looked at the man in front of him curiously. The Pokémon Center in this world is also responsible for treating and diagnosing some 'psychological' problems.
It’s called a psychological problem, but in reality it’s just about diagnosing and treating Pokémon’s mental problems.
There are also mentally ill Pokémon. Not every Pokémon is a well-behaved and sensible little cutie. Pokémon killings have occurred in the past, so the Alliance has subsequently strengthened supervision, and people will not take the initiative to capture Pokémon with mental problems. This is a protection for human Pokémon, and also for Pokémon itself.
Mimikyu's behavior is very suitable for being sent to the Pokémon Center for treatment.
"I went there, and Miss Joy told me that it was an over-dependence disorder, and whether it could be cured depended entirely on luck . After three days of treatment, Miss Joy asked me to take Little Q away because it went on a hunger strike and even mutilated itself just because I didn't exist." The man sighed, and Heath swallowed. He really didn't expect Mimikyu's problem to be so big.
"But I see that it has gotten a lot better recently, except that it's a little shy... What do you think?" Heath asked the man in front of him. He did not make any decisions for the man without authorization. After all, the trainer of Mimikyu-Nana was the man in front of him, and the person who was tortured was the other person, not Heath.
Heath can listen to stories from the perspective of an outsider and can comfort the other person, but he cannot persuade others. Heath has always believed that without experiencing the pain of others, one cannot make decisions for others or discuss right and wrong from the perspective of others.
So regarding the matter of Mimikyu, Heath planned to let the man decide for himself.
The man looked at Mimikyu, who leaned on the man's hand lovingly, her little eyes full of attachment. The man finally sighed, as if he was going to say something.
Heath went to the bathroom very consciously and stayed there for ten minutes before coming out. When he came out , Heath saw that the man was gone, and Mimikyu was gone too. Heath was stunned for a moment.
"Sir, the gentleman who just came has already paid the bill." The waiter said enthusiastically.
Heath touched his chin. It seemed that the man had taken Mimikyu away after all. This was...
Just as Heath was thinking this, he noticed that there seemed to be a small yellow ear under the sofa. Heath walked over in confusion, then reached out and pulled it. Mimikyu was pulled out by Heath, but now Mimikyu's eyes were dull and its body was lifeless.
"By the way, sir, this is the message that the gentleman just left for you." The waiter came over and handed a piece of paper to Heath. Heath took it, opened it and took a look.
[Sorry, I still can't accept that there will be an extra camera in my future life, and Xiao Q did something almost unforgivable to my wife, so I can't accept Xiao Q again ]
Heath left a very brief message. Heath looked at the Mimikyu in front of him and scratched his head. This matter was really troublesome. So how should he deal with it now? Heath was a little entangled.
