—————————————

As time passed, the Gift Trains that had gone to various regions to deliver gifts were returning to Unova after completing their deliveries. It was evening, and the sun was setting, Ingo checked the results of today's gift delivery on a small terminal while driving the train towards Gear Station.

[Gifts failed to deliver: 2]

"……"

And Ingo, who saw the unsatisfactory results of the day, manipulated the control panel to change from manual driving mode to automatic driving mode, and then kicked again with all his might toward the object he had already kicked and crumpled.

“Smile, Ingo!”

((THUMP-!))

Today's delivery results were not satisfactory, but Ingo was even more angry because he heard Emmet's voice in his head again, so annoying that he didn't even want to think about it.

So the object that was already crushed by Ingo was crushed even more so that the parts inside it were visible, and Chandelure, who was giving energy to the engine by shooting purple flames, was startled by the sudden loud noise and approached Ingo.

"Chan?! Chande!"

Ingo, who was groaning softly because his toes were sore, changed his frowning face to Chandelure who was approaching him and said while gently stroking Chandelure's head

"ugh..!" "Chan…" "Ah.. Chandelure.." "Chan…del…" "I'm fine. Don't worry." "Chandel…."

As Ingo was caressing Chandelure, he felt something shaking violently in his coat pocket.

'Suddenly, I feel something shaking violently in my pocket…'

The things shaking in his pocket were Poke balls containing Ingo's Pokémons, As Ingo took out the Poke balls that were shaking in his pocket, an Excadrill suddenly jumped out of one of the Poke balls and looked at Ingo, fidgeting unlike the usual energetic Excadrill.

"Why are my Poke balls suddenly shaking…" "Ex..Exca..!" "Excadrill?! You can't come out of here now!"

And when other Pokémons tried to jump out of their Poke balls like Excadrill, Ingo was flustered and gently stroked the shaking Poke balls as if he was stroking them.

"Oh Dear! And the other Pokémons too?! Everyone, please calm down! If they all come out here at once, it'll be even more troublesome. So please, please calm down!"

Fortunately, Ingo's mind seemed to have reached the Pokémons, and when the Poke balls stopped shaking violently, Ingo asked Excadrill in a soft voice why it came out of the Poke ball.

"By the way, Excadrill, can you tell me why you suddenly came out of the Poke ball?"

In response to Ingo's question, Excadrill pointed to Ingo's feet.

"Ex…" "Oh.. is that so? Don't worry. My foot is fine."

But even so, Chandelure and Excadrill still looked at Ingo with worried expressions, Only then did Ingo realize that not only Chandelure, who was with him, but also the other Pokémons, including Excadrill, who was in the Poke Ball, were startled by the loud noise and were anxious and worried that Ingo might have been seriously injured.

"Wait a minute… Was everything that happened earlier because you were worried about me?" "Ex.." "Chandel…" "I see… I apologize for causing you all so much worry…"

And Ingo put the Poke balls he was holding back into his pockets to go drive the train again, telling Excadrill to go into the Poke balls now, but Excadrill shook his head strongly at Ingo and refused to go back into the Poke balls.

"Okay Excadrill, I have to drive, so would you please get into the Poke ball now?" "Exca..!" "Why are you like that? You should go in quickly…" "Ex! Exca- drill!" "Huh? You don't want to go into the Poke ball? …Okay, if that's what you want…."

So, Ingo, who had no choice but to keep Excadrill outside, limped slightly back to the control panel and switched from automatic driving mode to manual driving mode.

'It's all because of that annoying guy..! If only that guy hadn't been there, I wouldn't have hurt my foot, and then my Pokémons wouldn't have had to worry!'

Also Ingo returned to his old personality for a while and then changed back to his current twisted and cold personality, grumbling inwardly and blaming the poor Emmet for nothing.

Meanwhile, it wasn't just Ingo's Pokémons who were worried about Ingo after hearing the sudden loud noise.

At the same time, Hilbert, who was in the cabin right next to the driver’s cabin, got up from his seat as soon as he heard a loud noise coming from the driver’s cabin and ran to the door leading to the driver’s cabin.

'That sound just now was exactly the same as the sound I heard a few hours ago! I'm so worried that Boss Ingo's foot will get seriously hurt… I hope Boss Ingo is safe…'

And at the moment Hilbert reached for the doorknob, Bede said to Hilbert in a sarcastic tone:

"Hilbert, you know that the driver’s cabin is off-limits to anyone but the Boss, right?”

Hilbert answered, releasing the doorknob he was holding.

"…I know."

Then Hilbert returned to his seat and sat down, staring out the window across from him in silence, lost in thought.

'If it were 'Hilda', she wouldn't have cared about such rules and would have opened the door to the driver's cabin and gone to Boss Ingo right away…'

After a while, Ingo arrived at Gear Station and when his train came to a complete stop, he took out a Poke ball from his coat pocket and sent out Haxorus.

"I'll take this opportunity to throw away that useless trash. Haxorus. prepare for departure." "Hax-orus!"

To throw away more crumpled object that were 'very' disturbing on his train

"Haxorus, please, could you cut the wire connecting that trash over there to my train?" "Hax!?" "I'm going to take this opportunity to throw away the trash." "……"

However, Haxorus hesitated to follow Ingo's instructions.

"Why Haxorus?" "Hax……." "Are you afraid of getting electrocuted?" "Hax-orus…."

Ingo thought that the reason Haxorus hesitated to cut the wire was because Haxorus was afraid of getting electrocuted while cutting the wire.

"Don't worry Haxorus, It's been out of power for a long time, so you won't get electrocuted when you cut the wire."

But that wasn't why Haxorus hesitated.

'I know that I won't get electrocuted even if I cut it.. But the reason I hesitate to cut it is because I can't agree with Ingo's opinion that it's 'trash'… And that wasn't trash from the beginning…'

Haxorus couldn't agree with Ingo's opinion that a crumpled object is trash, or rather, he couldn't agree with Ingo's opinion that the object was trash before it was even crumpled.

'I guess I have to do it… Otherwise Ingo will be angry… I don't want to see Ingo like that at all'

However, Haxorus, who did not want to upset Ingo, had no choice but to cut the thick wire that were connected to the more crumpled object as Ingo instructed.

"Thank you Haxorus. Thanks to this, the driver’s cabin has become more spacious. " "……"

And Ingo, who saw that the wire was completely cut, was satisfied and praised Haxorus (Haxorus, who was actually being praised, wasn't very happy…) then called Hilbert, who happened to be nearby.

"Hilbert!" "Yes, Boss Ingo?"

When Hilbert approached Ingo at the sound of his name, Ingo handed Hilbert a more crumpled object and instructed him to throw it into a large trash can.

"Excuse me, could you please throw away this trash for me? As you know, I'm very busy."

Even when Hilbert tried to talk about the object, Ingo firmly said that it was trash.

"Boss Ingo, Is this…." "Hilbert, as I said before, this is trash. trash is just trash, nothing more, nothing less." "I…I see…" "Ahem… Anyway, would you please throw away this trash?" "…….." "You already know where the large trash can is where you can throw all your trash." "….Yes Boss"

Hilbert wanted to tell Ingo that the object was not trash and that he could not follow the instructions. Unfortunately, Hilbert did not have the courage to disobey his boss' orders.

"Then throw it away, Hilbert." "Okay…"

So Hilbert was given 'more crumpled objects' by Ingo and, as Ingo instructed, he headed to the back of the Gear Station building where there was a large trash can.

And Hilbert walked slowly and feebly, lost in thought.

'If it was 'Hilda', she would have bravely told Boss Ingo that what I was holding right now was not trash…'

At the same time, Bede was walking around the train, inspecting the assistant workers who were cleaning Ingo's train, having been instructed by Ingo to supervise them.

"Hey, shouldn't a delivery worker like you be getting off work by now?" "Yeah, but why are you loitering around here?" "Ha.. I'm not doing this because I want to." "What are you talking about?" "Boss Ingo doesn't trust Assistant workers like you at all. So, Boss Ingo personally instructed me, his most trusted Worker and elite, to supervise you all." "Oh…." "So everyone, stop complaining to me and just work hard at cleaning!"

Some of the assistant workers were displeased with Bede, but since Bede was much higher in rank than them and Ingo had given orders to Bede, they had no choice but to quietly clean.

As Bede wandered around the train, he arrived at the tail section and happened to spot someone there.

"Hmm? You are… New Assistant worker Nate?" "Wait, that voice is… Bede?!"

And that someone was Nate, and Bede started laughing at Nate while he was sweeping with a broom, and Nate got annoyed because Bede was laughing at him.

"Why are you loitering around here?" "Well, I was instructed by Boss Ingo to supervise the cleaning, so I came here to supervise assistant workers like you. By the way.. pfft..! You told me this morning that your dream was to ride Boss Ingo's train and you've already achieved it! Congratulations Nate~" "Don't laugh at me! And I want to ride Boss Ingo's train as a delivery worker, not to clean up!" "But in the end, you ended up on Boss Ingo's train, right?" "Hmmgh..!!!"

As Nate continued to grumble and sweep the floor with a broom, he saw some objects strewn about in a corner.

"Hmph! That's completely different from that..! Hmm? What are these?"

And when Nate went to the corner and checked the objects, he saw that they were two gift boxes wrapped in light blue Marill pattern wrapping paper and tied with a yellow ribbon.

"No way! These are gift boxes?!"

Also, the ribbon tags on those gift boxes had the Boss Delivery Service stamp on them.

"These are also gifts applied for through Boss Delivery Service! But why are these gifts left on the train..?"

When Nate questioned the gift boxes left on the train, Bede, who was watching Nate, answered his question.

"Because this is rubbish that was refused delivery."

However, Nate was not satisfied with Bede's answer that the gifts were rubbish(trash), so he refuted Bede's answer, and Bede did not back down and pushed forward with his opinion, which eventually led to an argument between the two.

"What? rubbish? You mean trash? No! These are gifts! Although the gift wrapping was a little damaged…." "A gift is only meaningful if there is a recipient. If the recipient rejects it, it's no longer a gift, it's rubbish." "But calling a gift trash is too bad a word!" "Boss Ingo treated them like rubbish first." "B..Boss Ingo said them first?! Don't lie, Bede! There's no way Boss Ingo would do that!" "You're talking about Boss Ingo as if you know him well, even though you're a new assistant worker who just started work today! Boss Ingo knows me better than you, new worker!" "What you know better is the Boss Ingo of today's twisted personality!" "I've been working here since before Boss Ingo's personality got twisted!"

As Nate and Bede continued to argue, someone came between them and stopped them.

"E..Everyone stop!!!" "Hilbert?!" "H..Hilbert?!"

And that person was Hilbert, After Hilbert finished the work that Ingo had instructed him to do and reported to Ingo, who was still in the driver’s cabin, and heard from Ingo that he could leave work now, Hilbert was on his way to the cafeteria for dinner when he happened to hear Nate and Bede arguing and, worried that Ingo might hear them, he ran to stop them.

"Why are you suddenly interfering with this when you have nothing to do with it?" "I heard you guys arguing as I was passing by. …and Boss Ingo is still in the driver’s cabin. If he hears you arguing, he might get really angry at you guys..!”

When Hilbert said that Ingo would come and be very angry, Nate was immediately frightened, but Bede laughed and did not believe Hilbert's words.

"Whoa?!" "Ha! Do you think I would believe that? How can you prove to me that Boss Ingo is really in the driver’s cabin? "That's because… I just heard from Boss Ingo that I could leave work!" "So?" "And…." "Why don't you say more?" "Ugh…!"

So when Hilbert was at a loss for words and was at a loss as to what to do, At that moment, Ingo was approaching the tail section from afar, and Hilbert, who witnessed this, pointed his finger in Ingo's direction and said to Bede:

"Oh! There's Boss Ingo!" "W..What?! Hilbert?! Where is he?" "Over there!" "Oh my! Boss Ingo is really coming!" "Oh dear, now you're lying! It would be much more realistic to say that a Gigantamax Orbeetle is passing through the sky."

Still, Bede did not believe what Hilbert was saying, but when he heard Ingo's footsteps getting closer, Bede began to believe Hilbert.

((tip-tap! tip-tap!))

'Wait… is that the sound of Boss Ingo's shoes?! I..Is he really coming to scold me?!' "….Yeah, now that I hear it, Hilbert's words seem to be right. Well then, as Hilbert said, let's stop talking now. Because Boss Ingo hates workers fighting each other as much as Cleaner!"

So Bede, secretly resenting Hilbert, and left as if he was running away under the pretext of going to look around the other compartments

"Then I'll go and look around the other train cars. As you know, Hilbert, I was instructed to supervise the cleaning of the trains!" 'Hmph! How dare you act brave when you're a coward! That must have just happened to be a coincidence!'

Seeing Bede's back like that, Nate felt grateful and dependable to Hilbert.

"He's fast at running away." "Thank you Hilbert! You're so dependable! But… what if Boss Ingo gets angry when he hears that arguing…?" "Don't worry Nate, I'll figure it out somehow, Because Boss Ingo trusts me"

When Ingo eventually came to see Hilbert and Nate, Hilbert calmly hid from Ingo that Nate and Bede had been arguing in front of an anxious Nate.

"I heard the sound of an argument from afar, so I came to check it out… Hilbert, what happened here?" "Nothing happened here Boss Ingo" "Hmm… is that so…? Then I must have misheard…"

Fortunately, Ingo believed what Hilbert said.

"See?" "Wow.. Boss Ingo doesn't have any suspicions..?" "What did you just say?" "nothing!"

However, when Nate heard from Ingo that the gifts were trash, he initially insisted to Ingo that they were not trash.

"If nothing had happened here, I would have gone back to the driver’s cabin. Oh, you can do whatever you want with that annoying trash you're holding, but I recommend throwing it away if possible." "W..What?! But Boss Ingo! These aren't trash! I disagree with Boss Ingo's opinion! "These are not trash, these are gifts!" "Nate…."

Ingo's cold and scary expression made him feel ashamed and he had no choice but to admit that Bede was right.

"If I say trash, then they are trash." "…!" 'Oh dear… what Bede said was true

So Ingo went back to where he was, and Nate, who was intimidated by Ingo's cold attitude, asked Hilbert in a voice that had lost confidence what to do with the gifts.

"Hilbert…" "….Why?" "What should I do with these gifts now..? "I don't want to throw away these gifts…"

Then Hilbert replied to Nate that he shouldn't throw away the gifts and that Nate should keep them.

"Ah… Then instead of throwing it away, how about you keep it?" "W..What?! But I Don't wanna be a thief!" "Of course, what you say is correct in common sense, Unfortunately, those gifts were abandoned even by the recipients." "Oh Dear…" "And… Boss Ingo told you to do whatever you want, right? And you don't want to throw these away" "Yes, that's right…" "It would be better for them if you had gifts."

So instead of throwing away the gifts found in the tail section, Nate decided to keep them.

"….Then I'll go now. See ya!" "See ya Hilbert"

And Hilbert, who was going back to the cafeteria, thought that Nate, who had just argued with Bede, and Nate, who had insisted strongly on Ingo even though he was overwhelmed by Ingo's energy, were similar to 'Hilda'.

'Nate… even though it was his first day on the job, he was braver than I, who's been working here for years. Just like 'Hilda'… Yeah, 'Hilda' was like Nate too… Can I become brave like them..?'

Then suddenly, Hilbert, stimulated, ran to a place other than the cafeteria with a serious expression on his face as if he had decided on something.

'If I ask them that, they'll probably say, "You can be brave." Yes! I can be brave! I'll try it!'

Ingo's unpleasant delivery

(⚠️Caution⚠️)

It’s different from the original

Content Warning:violent, offensive words

—————————————

In one of the packing rooms that seemed relatively deserted among the several packing rooms lined up on both sides, Nate was being taught how to wrap a gift by a worker.

"All the parcels received here have a set size, so you can cut the packaging paper with a paper cutter and package it according to the size chart attached to the table. And you can also cut the ribbon according to the size chart." "Is the package size measured using the tape measure placed here?" "Yes! That's right!"​

Then a pre-wrapped package arrived in front of Nate.

"Hmm? This sent here already gift-wrapped" "Write the address on the tag as written on the sticky note attached to the gift and attach it to the ribbon." "Wow, this is simpler" "Right? Ahh~ I wish only these types of packages were sent~ But they are really just packages that come once in a while…"

This time, Nate received a package with a blue stamp on it. The stamp on the package was the same shape as the one neatly stamped on the black wax on the envelope that Nate had received yesterday. In other words, it was the logo of Gear Station.

"Hmm? This box has a blue stamp on it."

And that meant that the package had applied for the 'Boss Delivery Service'

​"Oh This means that this is a package that has applied for the 'Boss Delivery Service', where Boss Ingo personally delivers the gift like a Delivery Worker. And it's a paid extra option that pays a little more." "Boss Delivery Service? Ah! I've received that service before too! That was probably my birthday."

At that moment, Dewott, which was in the Poke ball, suddenly popped out.

"Dew! Dew-ott!" "Huh?! Dewott?! Why did you suddenly come out?" "Dew!" "I think your Dewott has something to say" "something to say..? Ah! And that day was the day Dewott and I first met. Also, at that time it was Oshawott, not Dewott." "Dew~!" "Really? That must be a really meaningful memory for you guys!" 'Besides, both Boss Ingo and Boss Emmet delivered at that time…'

​As Nate recalled his first meeting with Dewott, who was Oshawott, his expression darkened a little more than before as he also remembered Ingo and Emmet giving him a Pretty wrapped small gift box containing Oshawott's Poke ball.

"Umm.. Are you okay? Your expression suddenly got worse." "Dew…"

When Worker and Dewott were worried about Nate, Nate said he was fine and quickly put his Dewott in a Poke ball, then quickly changed the subject to the original topic of conversation, which was about the packaging method.

"M..Me? Yes! I'm okay..! Dewott, come back now" "Well… I see…" "By the way If we wrap it in packaging paper, we can't tell the difference, so what do we do?"

​The worker gave Nate a tag and said,

"If you stamp the same pattern on this tag, Boss Ingo will see the tag with that stamp and go deliver it. And if it says Boss Delivery Service on the sticky note attached to the gift-wrapped package, then you also attach a tag with a stamp on it." "I see" "Now I think the explanation is almost finished, so let's practice now." "Yup!"

Nate started wrapping the gifts as instructed by the Worker.

At one of the delivery stations, Ingo got off the train carrying two gift boxes wrapped in Marill patterned sky blue wrapping paper and tied with a yellow ribbon.

"This time, I will also depart to deliver the gift."

​He was going to the house of a customer who had applied for the 'Boss Delivery Service', and Ingo, who followed the address written on the tag attached to the ribbon, arrived at a pretty nice apartment similar to the house he lived in in Nimbasa City.

'It's a pretty nice apartment, just like the one I live in. By the way, have I been back home in the past few years..? …Let's stop thinking useless thoughts and go deliver it quickly.'

However, when Ingo tried to enter the apartment, the security guard at the entrance called Ingo and handed him a folder with papers and a pen.

"Hey! Excuse me, sir!" "Did you call me?" "Outsiders must fill out this visitor form before visiting!" "Is that so? Okay, sir."

Ingo took a short breath, then filled out the visitor form the security guard gave him while holding the gift boxes in one hand (It was a method of writing down the date, time, and purpose of visit.) and handed the file back to the security guard.

'It seems that security here is stricter than it looks. By the way, this is not the time for me to be wasting my time here…' "Haa.. here it is."

However, the guard who saw what Ingo wrote did not let Ingo in and still did not trust Ingo.

"A gift delivery…? Hmm… It doesn't look like that at all… Are you sure?"

Ingo took another short breath and showed the security guard the gift boxes he was holding in one hand. ​ "Ha… Look at these gift boxes I brought. Do you still not trust me?" "Hmmm……."

Still, the guard still didn't trust Ingo.

​'There's no way a person wearing black clothes from head to toe and having such a cold expression could be Delivery man..! Yes! That's right! There is no such delivery man!'

The guard couldn't trust Ingo based solely on his appearance.

'It seems like he has no intention of letting me in…'

Ingo, who was used to this kind of reaction, took a deep breath and handed his business card to the security guard who still didn't trust him.

"Haa….. Here is my business card."​

The security guard who received Ingo's business card only then let Ingo in.

"Gear Station Gift Train Service, Boss Ingo…?" "Yes I am. I am the Boss Ingo." "Hmm.. You look a lot different than I thought you would, but I'll let you in anyway." "…..thank you." "Ah, And you need to smile a little If you always have that cold, expressionless face that doesn't show any warmth, everyone will be wary of you like I am, and no one will like you."

As Ingo was barely able to get permission to enter the apartment, the security guard told him to smile, and then he heard the 'annoying' voice of someone he didn't even want to think about in his head.

"Smile, Ingo!"

Ingo shook his head from side to side several times to quickly shake off the annoying voice, then took a deep breath as if sighing and quickly walked to the elevator.

'I've wasted a lot of time. I have to hurry and go deliver them.'

After taking the elevator and arriving at the address written on the tag with the yellow gift ribbon, Ingo rang the doorbell next to the door.

((Ding-dong~))

And the one who opened the door was a pair of little twin sisters wearing green skirts and with their hair tied to one side with a pink ribbon.

"The gift delivery has arrived." "Whoa! gift! gift! gi…" "Wow! toy! toy! toy! to…"

But the little twin sisters, who had been delighted with the gifts, burst into tears as soon as they saw Ingo, ran to their parents and hid behind them.

"Waaaaaaah!!!! Mommy!!!! Daddy!!! That man is scary!!!" "Waaaaaaah!!!! Get out Grimmsnarl! Get out!!!" "G..Grimmsnarl..? Me..?"

Ingo, who saw the children bursting into tears at the sight of him, approached them cautiously with the aim of reassuring them.

"Little ladies, please calm down. I'm not here to hurt you." "Waaaaaaah!!!!!!! Waaaaaaah!!!!!!" "Waaaaaaah!!!! Mommy!!! Daddy!!!"

However, as the children still did not stop crying, the parents of the children who were nearby and the parents' Pokémons, Nidoking and Nidoqueen, blocked Ingo's path as he approached.

"H..Hey..! You! If you come any closer, M..me and our Pokemons will attack you..!" "We don't care what happens to us, just please don't harm the children..!" "Nido..!!!" "Niii..!!!"

Ingo took a deep breath, as if he was sighing heavily just like before, and spoke calmly to his family who were wary of him.

"Haa..I apologize for the abrupt how-do-you-do before. I am the Boss Ingo. "I'm driving the Gift Train here in Unova." "Boss Ingo..?" "Yes, and according to the 'Boss Delivery Service' you requested, I, the Boss, have come to deliver the gift to you in person." "Ah..! Boss delivery service! That's what we applied for before." "Yes, that's right. That's why that person came to deliver it."

The children who were hiding behind their parents and shivering, still terrified, began to look for someone.

"Mommy! Mommy! Where is the white?" "I want a white's gifts Where is the white? Grimmsnarl man is so scary!" "Come to think of it, we know there's another boss besides you." "Oh, you're right, and his name was Emmet." "I want a gift from the white! not Grimmsnarl!" "Me too Me too! I want a gift from the white too!" 'Emmet…!'

And the someone the children were looking for was Emmet, Ingo wanted to get angry at them right away, but he couldn't get angry because they were customers who had requested the service. He felt that if he got angry here, the situation would get worse, so he gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and said calmly.

"…..He can't come out due to personal reasons." "What are those personal reasons?" "I can't say that." "So are you going to work alone from now on?" "Yes." "Then please get out of here now."

The children's families, who heard Ingo's explanation that Emmet was not there, refused to accept gifts from him and told him to get out.

"You don't want a gift?" "Mommy.. When’s the man leaving..?" "This man is so scary…." "I guess our kids want to receive presents from Boss Emmet, who always has a smile on his face, not from you, who looks scary…" "And we don't want to receive gifts from people like you either."

((Slam!))​

Eventually the door closed and Ingo failed to deliver the gift.

"…….."

Ingo overheard a voice coming from beyond the tightly closed door.

"Now kids, scary Grimmsnarl man is gone now~" "Wha~!!!" "Yahoo!!!"

Ingo once again held back his anger and gritted his teeth, holding the gift boxes in his hands, and walked briskly without looking back, leaving the apartment he 'never wanted to visit again'.

"Hey Mr. Ingo? How did the gift delivery…." "…………."

And then, in Ingo's head, that 'annoying' voice came again.

"Smile, Ingo!"

So Ingo's already unpleasant mood became even more unpleasant.

'This is really really annoying…!'

Ingo returned to the Gift Train he was driving and went into the tail section at the very end of the train, throwing the presents he was holding towards the far corner. And when he checked the time on his smartphone, contrary to Ingo's worries, there was still plenty of time.

'Fortunately, there is still plenty of time left.'

So Ingo decided to go to a nearby cafe and have some coffee to relax.

"Then I'll have a cup of coffee at the cafe and relax. …and I will drink a very black coffee without even a single drop of white milk..!'

Ingo, who was walking to a nearby cafe, happened to see someone running somewhere with a gift box.

"Hahaha! I don't know what this is, but I'm going to sell it for a really high price~!"

The person was a thief who ran away after stealing a gift that a delivery worker left at the doorstep while the recipient was away.

'Gift thief…!!!'

In Unova, where it is common for packages left on doorsteps to be stolen, there are also 'rude' gift thieves who steal gifts, and this has been a major headache for Ingo and the Delivery Workers since long ago.

'This is absolutely unforgivable!!!'

So Ingo ran as fast as Shiny Greninja and chased after the thief who was running away with the stolen gift.

'Huh? It looks like something is coming this way quickly'

And when the gift thief felt something running towards them at high speed, Ingo had already chased right behind the gift thief.

"H..Huh?! Who are y..kkeuk!"

As soon as the gift thief turned around after feeling Ingo's presence late, Ingo grabbed the gift thief's collar with one hand.

"P..Put me down! Put me down!!!"​

Ingo glared at the struggling gift thief with a cold look mixed with anger.

"…….." "Eek…!"

Even if Ingo had been kind before, he could not forgive a thief who stole someone else's gift, but now that Ingo's personality was twisted, and Ingo was in a very unpleasant mood, there was no longer any guarantee that the gift thief, who was treated almost on the same level as Emmet, would be safe.

So Ingo, who wanted to punish the annoying gift thief very harshly, clenched his fist so hard that it made a sound.

((rumbling rumbling))

But he couldn't do it because there were so many eyes watching him.

So Ingo could only stare at the gift thief with a very cold gaze. ​ "P..Please don't hurt me..! I'll do whatever you want! S..so please don't hurt me!"

Ingo told the gift thief, who was trembling with fear, in a cold voice to return the gift.

"Please return the gift." "Y…Yes sir..!"

The gift thief who gave Ingo a gift while trembling ran away without looking back as soon as Ingo let go of gift thief's clothes.

'I suddenly had an unexpected schedule. I should go to a cafe if I have time left after finishing this schedule.'

Ingo took the gift he had retrieved from the gift thief and walked to the delivery location where the gift had been placed.

And the moment Ingo brings the gift back to its original place, at the doorstep of a house…

"AHHH!!! THIEF!!!" "Bow wark!!!"

The Houseowner, who had left the house temporarily empty to go for a walk with Houseowner's Yamper, completely mistook Ingo for a gift thief trying to steal Houseowner's gift.

"No. I'm not a thief, I am…" "Don't lie! Anyone wearing all black and with such a cold, expressionless face is definitely a thief! Get your hands off my gift right now!" "Grrrr..! Bow wark!!!" "Just wait a minute. I'm not a thief, I am…" "I'll report you to the police!!!"

Even when Ingo tried to tell him that he was not the gift thief, Yamper continued to bark loudly at Ingo, and the houseowner called the police on houseowner's smartphone.

"Hello? Police? There's a thief in front of my house right now and trying to steal my gift…."

Ingo quickly grabbed the houseowner's smartphone, which was on the phone with the police, and hung up the call to the police.

"Ahhh! My Phone!!!" "It's nothing. I apologize for any inconvenience caused to you all."

And Ingo returned the smartphone to the houseowner (To be exact, it was the Houseowner who intercepted it again)

"You bad thief! Give me back my phone right now!" "Here it is. I apologize for taking your phone without permission…Ugh!" "Give me this! Oh~! My Phone~! By the way, I think I've seen you somewhere…" "…I am the Boss Ingo." "Boss Ingo? Ah~! Are you the person who was with the Man in white coat?" "…..Yes." ​ The houseowner, who had been wary of Ingo and mistaken him for a gift thief, stopped misunderstanding him as soon as he learned Ingo's true identity.

"Ahahahaha..! I mistook you for a thief! You should have said Boss Ingo sooner!" "….." 'You're so shameless, you didn't even give me a chance to speak.'

But Yamper, still wary of Ingo and growling, jumped up and bit the hem of Ingo's pitch-black coat.

"Grrrr…Bow wark!" "Yamper! Don't do it! That guy is not a thief!"

When the House Owner tried to let go of Yamper, who was biting Ingo's coat, Yamper refused to let go, so House Owner put Yamper in a Poke ball.

"Come back Yamper! Oh dear! Is your coat okay? I think my Yamper bit your coat hard…" "There are no scratches on my coat." "Phew.. That's a relief. I was worried because the coat looked expensive. By the way, if you had smiled even a little, even if it wasn't as much as the Man in white coat who was with you, Yamper would have let his guard down.."

Ingo barely managed to clear up the misunderstanding, but he didn't feel any better.

"Smile, Ingo!"

Because that annoying voice was once again heard in Ingo's head.

'Why are you ordering me around! Get out of my head right now!' ​ So Ingo's mood became even more unpleasant than before and he didn't think that drinking coffee would relieve his unpleasant mood, so he went back to his train without going to the cafe.

Returning to his gift train, Ingo kicked several times a square object covered with a black cloth in the driver’s cabin.

((Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!))

Ingo couldn't stand his anger any longer, so he kicked something to vent his anger.

((Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!))

But what was making Ingo mad now wasn't the people who were scared of him.

Ingo was already used to hearing people say that he was scary, since he was doing Boss delivery service alone, or even before that, when he was doing Boss delivery service with Emmet. And he got used to being rejected by people for deliveries, and he also got used to being misunderstood as a bad person like a thief. ​ Also, when Ingo would sometimes take over the gift reception at Gear Station remotely on behalf of the busy Elesa, it was familiar that people would not come to see him because they were scared of him.

What made Ingo so angry now was that people wanted Emmet instead of him.

'Emmet..! Emmet..! Emmet..!!! EMMET…!!!!!'

What's so good about such an annoying guy that's not me? Why do you look for such an annoying guy that's not me? What does such an annoying guy have that's better than me? Ingo felt an unpleasant feeling of being compared to Emmet.

"Smile, Ingo!"

And every time Ingo felt that way, Emmet's voice in his head, telling Ingo to smile, made Ingo feel even more upset.

((Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!…THUMP!!!))​

Anyway, Ingo kept kicking the square object until it was crumpled, but when his foot started to hurt, he frowned even more and stopped kicking. Then, Hilbert, who had just finished delivering gifts and returned to the train, happened to see Ingo like this.

"…….." "Gasp! Boss Ingo! Are you okay?!"

Ingo answered Hilbert, who was worried about him, in a soft voice, his frown fading away.

"……Yes. I'm okay now. So don't worry Hilbert." "……Yes Sir."

Then Hilbert happened to see a square object that had been crumpled by Ingo's kicking it several times.

'On my way back here I heard a loud noise and it was Boss Ingo kicking something.. Boss Ingo's personality has changed so much from before…'

And Hilbert knew what that crumpled object was.

'Hmm..? Wait No way! That crumpled object is…!'

—————————————

Even if Emmet told Nate that he wanted to be alone, Nate was worried about Emmet, who was crouching and shaking violently that he approached him carefully with Dewott

"Boss Emmet….." "Dew….."

Then suddenly, all of Emmet's Pokémons came out of the Poke balls in Emmet's pants pocket and blocked Nate and Dewott.

"Galvan!" "Eelek-tross!" "Du-rant!" "Arche-!" "Whoa?! We're not hurt to Boss Emmet! Are you hostile us?!"

Emmet's Pokémons shook their heads in response to Nate's bewildered question, indicating that they were not hostile. Then they walked up to Emmet and lifted him up together.

"Aha! So you guys are trying to move Boss Emmet somewhere else? Hey guys. Can we help you move Boss Emmet too?"

Noticing the intention to move Emmet elsewhere and told his Pokémons that he and Dewott would help. And this time, Emmet's Pokémon shook their heads again, That meant they didn't need Nate and Dewott's help.

"Oh…Okay…" "Dew…"

So Nate and Dewott could only watch as Emmet's Pokémons carried their partners somewhere.

And Nate thought

'I guess it wasn't a good idea to ask Boss Emmet directly. Because it must be a very bad memory for him…. …By the way, where did the Pokémons move Boss Emmet to?'

Then Dewott called Nate, who was thinking

"Dew Dewdew" "I'm sorry, but I'm thinking about it" "Dew Dew-ott" "Huh? follow them?" "Dew!"

It was meant to they follow the Emmet's Pokemons.

"But I think his Pokemons don't want our help… ..However I'm still worried about Boss Emmet, so I think we might as well follow them as you say!"

Nate agreed with Dewott's opinion.

"Hmm… where did Pokemons and Boss Emmet go?"

However, the Pokémons that had taken Emmet had already disappeared from their sight, so they had no idea where they had gone. Furthermore, Emmet had cleared away the snow around Gear Station, so even their footprints were not visible (as if Emmet was telling them not to look for him).

"I wish there were at least some footprints left by the Pokémons… Ha.. how do we find Boss Emmet…?"

As Nate sighed and pondered, unable to find a way, Dewott silently stroked his beard.

'If I had an amazing radar like lilipup… No, if I were Lillipup not a Dewott at a time like this…'

Suddenly someone called out to Nate and Dewott, and they were so startled that they slipped and fell to the ground.

"Hey guys, you're here!" "Whoaa?!" "Dew?!"

(((Bump!))

"Ouch….!" "Oh dear! Are you okay?!" "yes…" "dew…" "We are so sorry to surprise you!" "We never meant to surprise you…" "Hm? Are you the Worker who asked us to clear the snow earlier…?"

The person who called Nate and Dewott was the worker who had earlier asked Nate to clear the snow, That worker who had gathered more people came with two or three other workers taking brooms and Pokémons.

"Yes I am" "You came with other workers." "After I sent you guys out, I thought about it again and realized that it would be unreasonable to ask you guys to do the snow removal alone. So I gathered some more people and Pokemons to help you guys clean up." "Oh I see"

The workers looked around at the cleared snow and spoke to Nate and Dewott in admiration.

"By the way, I really didn't think you guys would finish it so quickly." "You cleared the snow so quickly… That's really amazing!" "You seem to be a new worker. You're doing pretty well." "It seems like a great new worker has arrived this time!" "Ahahahaha…haha…" 'Actually, Boss Emmet had already cleaned it up when I arrived….'

Nate couldn't tell the workers the truth. They praised Nate so much that it was burdensome, And he thought that in a situation where he was praising Nate, if Nate said that someone else cleaned up, it would ruin the mood. (And there were also things he couldn't find the right time to say)

Then one worker said what they were going to do now.

"So what do we do now? New Worker cleared all the snow."

Nate felt uneasy as a sudden surge of guilt struck him.

"Oh.. Now that I think about it, everyone came to shovel the snow, but I ended up shoveling it all… Sorry.. I've made you all waste your time and effort…."

Because Nate thought that everyone came to shovel snow, but because of him, there was no snow to shovel, so he made them waste their time and effort.

"I'm sure everyone gave up their break time or put aside their work to come here in a hurry…"

Fortunately, the workers who saw Nate's darkened expression consoled him, saying that it was good work that he had done to clear the snow. (The workers' positive attitude also played a part)

"No, no! You did a great job clearing all the snow!" "…Really?" "Of course! You finished the work quickly!" "Thanks to this, I can do other things instead of clearing snow." "Is that… so?"

But it wasn't Nate who cleared the snow, it was Emmet, So Nate's heart still wasn't at ease because it seemed like he had stolen Emmet's achievements, but he tried to smile and reassure the other workers who were trying to comfort him. (The only one who noticed Nate's feelings was his partner Dewott)

'It's Boss Emmet who should be thanking me for clearing the snow, not me… Because it wasn't me who cleared the snow, it was Boss Emmet.'

Anyway, now that there was nothing to do outside, the Workers decided to go back to the Gear Station to wrap gifts.

"Now that we have nothing else to do here, we should go back to Gear Station and wrap some gifts." "Okay, because that's one of our works."

And they told Nate that they were short-handed, so let's go together to wrap the gifts

"Why don't you come with us to wrap the gifts?" "What? Me?!" "Because even at this very moment, packages are coming in from all over Unova to be delivered as gifts." "Also, we're short of hands!" "But I'm still an assistant worker, so I can't wrap gifts yet…" "So, even more so when you are an assistant worker, you need to learn how to wrap gifts in advance. Otherwise, when you become a real worker and do gift wrapping work, you may not be able to wrap the gifts well." "Really? I thought that when I became a real worker, I would automatically learn how to wrap presents. Just like Pokémon learn new skills as they level up and evolve."

One worker laughed heartily at Nate's innocent words and then spoke kindly to Nate.

"Hahaha! That would be great if it were as you said, but unfortunately, unlike Pokemon, we humans don't have the concept of 'level' and we can't evolve either, so we can't learn the packaging technique as soon as we become Workers." "So, assistant workers help the packing workers and at the same time learn how to wrap gifts step by step." "Of course, we have also gone through each of those processes." "I got it" "Then let's go back to Gear Station. There's a lot of work to do!" "…Yes sir!"

And when the Workers put their Pokémon into Poke balls, (Because right now it was okay without the help of Pokemon) Nate also put his partner Dewott in a Poke ball.

"Dewott, you come back too" "Dew"

So Nate put aside his search for Emmet and went to wrap gifts with the other workers,(To learn how to wrap a gift, to be exact) He returned to the Gear Station.

'Later, when I have time, I'll have to investigate where the Pokémons took Boss Emmet…!'

Meanwhile, Emmet, who had fallen asleep while shaking violently in the arms of his Pokémons, woke up in a dark place with clutter around him and small lights dimly shining, covered in a black coat with blue stripes.

"This place is…"

It was a very deep underground warehouse of the Gear Station, so deep that people rarely visited, and wild Joltiks had made their web here and there.

"I see… This is our 'home'…"

And that was the place Emmet called 'home'.

Emmet lived with Ingo in a pretty nice apartment in Nimbasa City. When he worked as Boss with Ingo, because the gift train service made them a lot more money than they thought. But, after 'that accident', Emmet was kicked out by Ingo without even having time to pack his bags. (The only things Emmet took were his Poke balls and his now dead smartphone, whose battery had long since died.)

So while wandering around looking for a place to stay, Emmet stumbles upon a door that leads deep into the underground warehouse that even he and Ingo had completely forgotten about at the back of the Gear Station building. He decides to stay there for a while until he can find a new home, but as time goes by, it ends up becoming Emmet's home.

Although it was a much more run-down place than Emmet's old home, Emmet, who had nowhere else to stay, thought it was better than being homeless.

Anyway, deep in the Gear Station's underground warehouse, Eelektross handed Emmet a mug of cocoa, which was still slightly warm.

"Eelek.." "You're giving it to me..? Thank you.. ….sweet. And a little warm."

Then Emmet saw a black coat covering him.

"Wait… Is this Ingo's coat…?"

The coat was one that Ingo had worn before, and Emmet placed the cocoa on a cardboard box nearby and hugged Ingo's coat, which was covered like a blanket, and muttered softly, shedding a few tears.

"I really didn’t do this….."
