Detective Pikachu released last week for the Nintendo 3DS, and The Pokemon Company is giving players an insight into how the pocket-sized sleuth became the hard-boiled detective with a look into his shady past.
The short story, Detective Pikachu: Episode 0—Eevee's Case, is "penned" by Pickachu himself and it takes place before the events of the video game.
Pikachu is hired by Eevee to find the culprit who vandalised Eevee's garden. He sets out into the streets of Ryme City to put the screws to the residents, during which he presumably gets a taste for it and proceeds to partner up with Tim Goodman in the 3DS game.
Detective Pikachu: Episode 0—Eevee's Case is free to download now for a limited time on on Apple iBooks Store and Amazon's Kindle Store.
