Summary

As a child in Sutton Valence, he sold neighbour Natasha a common Charmander card for £20, exploiting her ignorance. Her mother discovered the deal and forced repayment, leaving him resentful that his planned sweets and Game Boy purchase vanished. He confesses stealing David’s younger brother’s shiny Jigglypuff, selling it to Ben for £25, and concealing this for 20 years.

Insight

His childhood pranks become a present-day retaliation narrative: he threatens public exposure when friends ignore or upset him.
