The Phantom Thief of the Spirit World

[Mostly Slice of Life]

There's a strange thief in this Pokemon world.

No, calling him a thief doesn't do him justice. He's a master burglar!

He's paid a visit to the Pokémon League, the symbol of justice, and wreaked havoc on Team Rocket, the symbol of evil. Both sides hate him so much their teeth ache.

But as for his biggest victim, that has to be the Hoenn tyrant Devon Corporation, backed by Champion Steven.

"I heard that thanks to his visit, Devon Corporation's longtime rival, the Great Mauville Company, which should have been squeezed to the brink of bankruptcy by Devon's rapid growth, has managed to scrape by. That master burglar indirectly brought it back to life!"

"The boss of the Great Mauville Company is so grateful to the burglar that he keeps saying he's the best friend he's ever had. He sincerely invites his benefactor to visit the company anytime, promising to give him the best service!"

"So what happened next? Did the burglar really go to the company?"

"Of course he did. Only, the way he went about it..."

"So you're telling me the Great Mauville Company got robbed, too?!"

Later on,

The little thief even picked up a little kitty.
