*barges in rather rudely but excitedly*

Its from Pokemon Special/Pokemon Adventures (title varies by region, fandom generally just goes with "pokespe") Specifically from the gen4 (diamond pearl plat) era of the manga which is generally considered to be where the series peaked

Despite being literally pokemon the manga suffers by lack of both scanlation and official translation, and theres a big chunk thats only available online via mid to poor quality scans of the Chuang Yi english edition that was released in Singapore. and VIZ has picked up and dropped it multiple times... Which is to say. It is frustrating to find... I belieeeeeve mangadex does have an english version of that arc (and through to SWSH) but after a point it just Stops. (and dont get me started on the near nonexistent eng version of reBurst)

So. Uh no. its from like 2008.
