:''Leaving the Prop Case behind... Huh. Did <Player> do that accidentally or on purpose? Whatever the reason, there's no doubt that <Player> had a great talent for coordinating Pokémon Props! Open the Prop Case--and voilà! Colorful Props for Pokémon! Aw, yeah! It's time to play Dress Up! The Top Hat is an elegant Prop that adds class to any Pokémon's head! How about Blue Barrettes on a Pokémon's ears? The Square Glasses are eye catching. They nicely frame a Pokémon's face! Maraca, Maraca, Maraca! It's a sharp look for a Pokémon's arm. The Umber Belt accentuates a waistline. Belts are decorative as well as useful. Putting a Tie on a Pokémon's body makes it look dignified or charming--or both! There's nothing to worry about. If <Player> comes back, we'll return this trusty Prop Case in a trice. In the meantime, we see in you a worthy successor to <Player>. Yes! You'll do! With your talent and this Prop Case, we foresee the rising of a future star! Props to you!
