Hey, everyone, it's me again! It's time for a sequel of Sally Ratmousen and I present you, GO Love Yourself! It is mostly about Pokemon GO, and that it's mostly based on the experience of playing the game with my dad (yes, you heard it, my dad). Without wasting time, let's dive into the story!

I woke up like usual at 8 and then got myself ready for an optional half-day work at the Daily Rat. It's not as big as the Rodent's Gazette if you want to compare the base, but many younger people read it for some cool stuff on entertainment and gossips (yes, it was, because too old do not want, alright?). After I had my breakfast, I got to my favorite kawaii magenta Subaru BRZ (which I forgot to tell you last time that I fitted it with Rocket Bunny bodykit and I had it well-tuned to 400 hp) and get to work. Traffic is always busy like most of the time, and once I reached there, I got to my office.

But today, things weren't just like any usual day like what you would see in an office where there's a fair share of fun and work. My colleagues are now talking about one game that hit Mouse Island like an earthquake and spreads like a virus. You know what game I am talking about: Pokemon GO. I checked the date on my phone: it was August 6th, which means that the game is released today. Yes, I knew about the release. But I don't see anything too interesting yet because ain't nobody got time for it when you had something much better than that. And then, I saw my assistant, Simon Squealer at the corner of the cubicles, not talking about Pokemon GO. He was instead playing Pirate Kings, which I seem to dislike flat out. Not only that it's sort of grindy because all you do is just spin, attack, spin, reap some money from some random guys, spin until you really ran out of spins and that's it. I also don't honestly like the mechanics of the game as well. I used to play the game before someone chiseled me off by attacking my island in just hours. Heck, weren't things supposed to just that easy just because it's the way it was made to be and look like at our eyes? But after all, freemium is pay-to-win. You can't just do well if you don't pay at all. Thinking that maybe I could convince him to talk about the hype and the hit, I approached him.

"Hey, Simon, why didn't you join in the discussion? It's rather crowded and interesting there," I asked him.

"Uh... I love this game more than Pokemon GO. Catching some sort of monsters around can't beat the fun of playing things that simple like spinning the wheel and swiping at candies."

I was rather shocked by his response because like I told you, I flat out dislike Pirate Kings and also Candy Crush. With nothing else to say, I told him, "Okay. You can join in anytime you want."

Back inside my office, I thought of why Pokemon GO is so popular. I mean, it's just a game. What's so good about it? Besides, I already have a Husky to walk every day. Why bother playing it? But anyways, I decided to go and install Pokemon GO. Maybe it would be a good idea to jump on the hype express and besides, what could go wrong if I ever join in the train? Once I installed that app, I was greeted with a welcome screen, and then I created my Pokemon GO account.

"What should I name my nickname there as? TehBoredBunny? MagentaTheRicer? Oh, I know what to put! xXxSallyRatmousen420xXx! I bet this would be great."

After getting things ready, I am now ready for the game. I was taught of how to play the game. It looked simple: you get the Pokeball (a special ball which allows you to catch Pokemons which are fictional creatures/animal) on-screen and throw it by swiping. And bang bang, you got one Pokemon on the collection and then you will get some nice XP, like, 100 XP? I got up to level 3 easily.

And there, I thought it would be a good idea to just walk to the nearest Pokestop: which is a place where you can get stuff like Pokeballs, potions, eggs and everything that you could name of. After all, this game is supposed to be a game where you walk a lot and get to lots of Pokestops. I asked myself, "Is there one and where was it?". Found out that it's just right at my office. On the other side, I saw another Pokestop, which is the Rodent's Gazette. I decided to go there and get some stuff. Right after I tried to spin that photo circle, which gets you the stuff I mentioned just now, someone who I really know came out from the place. He is dressed in green, like always. You know who was him; Geronimo Stilton. But I think he didn't look like what I usually see him as. Not that expression in his face, though, he wouldn't look any angry unless I stroked him up too much (which I don't need to tell you). He is not in his usual green three-piece suit, and this time, he is wearing a business suit with his green coat open, a brown belt and like always, he always wear a red-colored necktie. Bummer, why did he do so? That kinda made me feel a little confused that way but never mind already. He had a bigger issue with mobs with their phones on their palms on their hands (and obviously mine as well *lenny face*).

"Why was everyone swarming this place today? Is there anything that is going to happen today? Like, maybe a protest or a mob?"

"Everyone's on Pokemon Go. Including me," I replied.

"Pokey what?" he asked me for a clarification. Bet he haven't heard of Pokemon before.

"Pokemon Go. Never heard of it?" I told him.

You see, I don't think he knew anything about Pokemon, let alone video games. He never played any video games before and like I said when I associate tech and Geronimo, he didn't know how to use iOS or Mac OS very well. Don't need to ask me why. Oh wait, probably the only thing he knew was doing word processing and going to the Internet to find anything necessary. There. What else could I offend Stilton with? Profanities? I don't think so since I don't really use them as much I would do in the past. Yes, you should look at my previous book if you really feel like ready for those over-the-top profanities.

"No. What's the fuss with the game? Is there anything that would appeal me?"

"Yeah, you catch monsters by throwing specially-designed balls. But anyways, I thought as a newspaper editor yourself, you know what is Pokemon GO?"

"Uh... I didn't know a lot about it and I am not feeling really bothered to even know how the game works, though. I would rather read books right at my home than play a game that everyone is on the craze on. You know I love my home a lot."

"Oh. Okay, phone me when you feel like starting the game. I will help you out with that," I told him before going back to my office.

Back in my office, I check my phone to find that my phone battery has run quite flat. Yes, it was just 12 and my phone has gone right from 100% to about 50%, which is way too fast. If I keep using it... I think my phone will be all dead. But since it's Saturday today, and it's a half-day work, I get to go home. Yay, that means that I can charge my phone! Quickly, I got home.
