It's just another day, nothing interesting going on in your life. you've just gotten home after a particularly long day, and you sit on your bed, exhausted and dejected. You go back outside to check the mail. It looks like someone put a Pokeball in your mailbox. There's a note attached to it.

• "Hey~ We heard you were feeling a bit down as of late, and as PERFECT as we are, we can't have that. So here, a...Snivy, to help lift your spirits up. We assure you, they'll be the PERFECT buddy, you'll see~ *

There's something off about it...Why was "perfect" written over and over again, capitalized and hastily written? Also it looks like whoever wrote this was going to write something other than "Snivy", but it was hastily scribbled over. As you examine the Pokeball, you can see that it's green, and feels sort of squishy. And...why's there an icon of a padlock on it? Nevertheless, you bring it inside and send out the Pokemon within.

But...instead of a Snivy, it's something else...It's a giant pear-shaped inflatable that looks like a cartoonish imitation of a Snivy, with a big dumb grin plastered on it's snout. It's wearing a hoodie that barely fits, only fitting the top half of his torso, the lower part of the hoodie just crumples as it meets his gigantic micro-car sized belly. It looks down on you as it puts it's hands on its hips all sassy-like.

"So, you're my new pal, eh? Or am i supposed to be yours? Eh, whatever the case, I'll be the perfect friend, you'll see. I'm a Smugleaf. It's a pleasure to meet you, but i think you'll find it's even better to meet me~"
