:''"Great job catching that Furfrou, Trainer! Did you know there are also [[List of Pokémon with form differences|other Pokémon that're known to change their appearance]]? That includes one we've spent a lot of time researching lately: Hoopa. Hoopa is known to have two forms. So far, you and I have seen it as Hoopa Confined, but I hear its power increases astronomically when it becomes Hoopa Unbound. I wonder if we'll ever get to witness it ourselves. I suppose all we can do for now is continue our research. In fact, Blanche has been receiving reports of some spooky occurrences out in the field. We're not quite sure what the cause is, but like all things lately, we can't rule out Hoopa's involvement. Hoopa's no stranger to mischief, and you never know how it'll use its rings next, so I think further investigation is in order. I'll be sure to share more details with you when I have them, <player>. Now, let's GO!"''

=====GO Fest 2023: Fascinating Facets=====
*1/6
:''"Hello, <player>, and welcome to Pokémon GO Fest 2023!''
:''"You’ll never guess what I’ve found—another treasure map! This one looks like it leads to..."''
:''"...a pile of Pikachu-shaped Poffins?"''
:''"Whoops. Wrong map. Here—this one! It says it leads to “a treasure so beautiful, it surpasses all others.”"''
:''"What do you think it could be, <player>? A Pokémon? A sparkling gem? A giant lake full of ice-cold Pinap Juice?"''
:''"There’s only one way to find out: by following this map!"''
:''"The first step leads us to the PokéStops over there. Let’s GO!"''
*2/6
:''"Phew! Nothing like a brisk walk to get the blood flowing, eh, <player>?"''
:''"I saw you even caught a few Pokémon on the way here. I hope you let me have a look at them later!"''
:''"Now, the map isn’t too clear on where to go next. Instead, there are drawings depicting some of the Pokémon found in the area."''
:''"If we follow one of them, maybe that’ll point us in the right direction!"''
:''"And look—there’s a whole bunch of Pokémon just ahead. Let’s see if we can make a few new friends, shall we?"''
*3/6
:''"That’s quite the group of Pokémon you’ve caught, <player>! So lively."''
:''"They’re really putting the “fest” in Pokémon GO Fest!<br>...And the “Pokémon,” now that I think about it. Haha."''
:''"Seeing where they’ve led us, I’ve got a feeling we’re getting close to that treasure! Now, for the next leg..."''
:''"Hm. I might’ve spoken too soon. This next stop looks pretty far away."''
:''"But isn’t that wonderful? We’ll be able to hatch some Eggs on the way there!"''
:''"Your Buddy Pokémon might enjoy the chance to “stretch its legs,” so to speak. I know Meltan will. Er, even though it doesn’t technically have legs."''
*4/6
:''"*huff* *huff* That was some distance we covered, huh, <player>?"''
:''"Need a little break? To be honest, I do—which is why I’m relieved our next step doesn’t appear to require movement at all!"''
:''"Look here. The map has a drawing of an Eevee surrounded by its Evolutions."''
:''"I don't see any Eevee around, but one of its most unique traits is its ability to evolve into more than one Pokémon!"''
:''"Maybe it means we should evolve some Pokémon of our own. It can’t hurt to try, right?"''
*5/6
:''"Wh-whoa, <player>!''
:''"Look at all those pretty pink jewels! It’s enough to make my eyes gleam. That can only be the Mythical Pokémon Diancie!"''
:''"I’ve heard other researchers say it’s the loveliest sight in the world—and now seeing Diancie for myself, I concur with their evaluation!"''
:''"Some have even said that Diancie can instantly create many diamonds by compressing the carbon in the air between its hands."''
:''"Picture it: Diancie sparkling in a shower of glittering diamonds! What a spectacle that would be."''
:''"All our work’s paid off. This Pokémon really is the most beautiful treasure of all!"''
:''"But guess what? We haven’t even reached the end of the trail! There’s one step left.<br>“If you would polish your gem to its most brilliant sheen, take a whetstone to whimsy and build boulders to bulwarks.”"''
:''"Sounds a bit like it’s describing Diancie’s types, doesn’t it? I know—let’s power up some Rock- and Fairy-type Pokémon!"''
*6/6
:''"Is that another jewel, <player>? No...it looks to be Mega Energy for Diancie!"''
:''"Amazing! I can’t wait to see how Diancie changes when it Mega Evolves. I can only imagine it’ll grow even more beautiful!"''
:''"Now, I’ve already spent a dazzling day with you, so I won’t ask you to continue our research right this second."''
:''"Instead, feel free to spend some time getting to know your new Pokémon friend—and if it does Mega Evolve, be sure to let me know what you learn!"''
:''"Sound good? Good! You’re as much of a gem as Diancie, <player>."''
:''"Until next time...let’s GO!"''

* 1/5
:''"Great to see you, <player>! I’m thrilled you can join me for Pokémon GO Fest!"''
:''"We have quite the exciting day ahead of us! I’ve found something special..."''
:''"a mysterious map of the park! It’s marked with a path of cryptic clues that look like they lead to something hidden—and sparkly!"''
:''"Let’s follow it and see what Pokémon and treasures we find along the way."''
:''"Here’s the first clue: “Call companions out from under every rock and stone with citrine’s aroma.”"''
:''"Hmm...citrine gems are orange. The same shade of orange as Incense, in fact!"''
:''"How about we use an Incense as we explore the park? The Pokémon we find might just lead us somewhere special!"''
* 2/5
:''"So this is where those Pokémon were leading us!"''
:''"But the only treasure I see is the joy on the shining  faces of all these Trainers. Including yours, <player>!"''
:''"Maybe the next clue will give us more to go on."''
:''"This one reads: “Crystallize memories more glittering than gold, more valuable than diamonds.”"''
:''"And look—nearby locations are circled!"''
:''"I scouted the park before you arrived, and I remember those spots had some stunning geology. The Pokémon inhabiting them looked happy as can be!"''
:''"Even without this map, I was going to recommend that you see them for yourself! And as for crystallization, what better way to preserve a memory than with a snapshot?"''
:''"Why don’t we follow the map and take pictures with our Pokémon?"''
* 3/5
:''"Those snapshots you took are some real gems, <player>! I’m planning to put this one I took of Meltan on my fridge."''
:''"But alas—no treasure yet! Onto the next clue. I’ve got a good feeling about this one."''
:''"“When searching for a glimmering jewel, keep your eyes sharp and your aim true.”"''
:''"Now, I know you’d never let a Pokémon escape your notice..."''
:''"But keeping steady aim when catching Pokémon can be a challenge, even for the most experienced Trainers."''
:''"Maybe this hint is testing our Poké Ball pitching prowess. Something tells me we’re close to discovering that “glimmering jewel”!"''
* 4/5
:''"Wow! Is that the Pokémon I think it is, <player>—the Mythical Pokémon Diancie?!"''
:''"Amazing! Brilliant! Just look at those pink crystals shimmer!"''
:''"Some say that Diancie’s glimmering form is the loveliest sight in the whole world, and I’m inclined to agree!"''
:''"And the sparkles just keep coming! Diancie can instantly create diamonds by compressing the carbon in the air between its hands."''
:''"Exceptional work, <player>. But we’re not through yet!"''
:''"Here’s our next, and last, hint:"''
:''"“A trail of shimmering stardust leads to beauty beyond measure.”"''
:''"Sounds to me like we’d better hurry and start collecting Stardust!"''
* 5/5
:''"Oh? What did you uncover, <player>?"''
:''"I’ve never seen this particular Mega Energy before, but I’ll bet it can be used to Mega Evolve Diancie!"''
:''"Diancie is breathtaking as it is, so I can’t wait to see what happens when it Mega Evolves. I can only imagine it’ll grow even more beautiful."''
:''"If you do Mega Evolve Diancie, I’d better be first to know!"''
:''"But we’ve had a long adventure already, and I don’t want to tucker you out before you get to explore the area yourself."''
:''"Thank you for spending the day with me, <player>. I treasure  all the time we spend together."''
:''"I hope the rest of your day is as lovely as Mega Diancie! Let’s GO!"''

:''"It’s great to see you, <player>!"''
:''"I’ve received reports of strange meteorites falling around the city. And where there’s unusual activity, unusual Pokémon usually aren’t far behind!"''
:''"In this case, that Pokémon is Mega Rayquaza. You’ve probably seen glimpses of it already today!"''
:''"You know, I’ve recently heard theories from other researchers that that upon seeing particular meteorites, Rayquaza will remember how to use Dragon Ascent."''
:''"But there’s something even more impressive about Dragon Ascent: it allows Rayquaza to Mega Evolve!"''
:''"Isn’t that fascinating? It makes you wonder what makes some meteorites so unique—which is precisely why I’ve asked the team leaders to help me collect samples from around here!"''
:''"Now that you’re here too, why don’t you join their search? You might even learn something about Mega Rayquaza along the way!"''
:''"Preparation is key to any adventure, so I recommend you and your Buddy Pokémon grab a snack before setting out. You’ve got quite a day ahead of you, <player>!"''
* 5/5
:''"<Player>! Welcome back!"''
:''"I see you’ve collected a couple meteorites. Stellar work! Haha."''
:''"Did you happen to encounter Mega Rayquaza while you were exploring?"''
:''"Wonderful! As you might know, Mega Evolution isn’t just about channeling strength—it’s also about your bond with Pokémon."''
:''"You’ve worked hard learning more about Rayquaza and collecting those peculiar meteorites."''
:''"I’m sure Rayquaza is as impressed with your perseverance as I am! In fact, if you had the opportunity, I’m sure you’d have no trouble Mega Evolving Rayquaza yourself."''
:''"Now, that’s enough from me. Thanks for all your help with my research! Enjoy the rest of the day!"''

:''"What’s more, I’ve barely been able to walk two steps without the crinkling of littered candy wrappers underfoot."''
:''"And do you see all the bright red Rs they’ve spray-painted around here?"''

:''"And what I’m thinking is, there’s no way those rambunctious Grunts would settle down so easily. I’m positive they’ll come back before long."''
:''"Could you “chat” with them again if you see them, please?"''
* 3/5
:''"Well done, <player>!"''
:''"You defeated them so quickly, it almost makes ME want to start a party!"''
:''"But it’ll have to wait, because right as those Grunts scampered away, I overheard them muttering about coming back bigger, louder, and wilder than ever."''
:''"We can’t have them disturbing the local Pokémon—to say nothing of the assault on my eardrums!"''
:''"Let’s put in a complaint with their superiors, shall we? Defeat the Team GO Rocket Leaders!"''

=====Keeping Sharp=====
*1/4
:''"Hello, <player>! I’ve got something for you to sink your teeth into."''
:''"Have you noticed the peculiar marks on the trees and boulders in the area? And the crushed berries on the ground?"''
:''"While I’m a little disappointed in today’s Pinap Berry harvest, I’ve got a feeling that a Pokémon is responsible—and that means we have something to research!"''
:''"And I’ll bet you even have an idea what Pokémon we’ll be investigating!"''
:''"Why don’t you search the area and let me know what you find?"''
 
*2/4
:''"Welcome back, <player>."''
:''"Aha! So Axew are responsible for those unique marks and crushed berries."''
:''"These Pokémon play with each other by knocking their large tusks together. Crushing berries is how they test each other’s strength."''
:''"Axew tusks are sharp enough that people long ago used them as cooking knives!"''
:''"These Pokémon find culinary uses for their tusks in the wild, too."''
:''"Fraxure, Axew’s Evolution, uses its thick tusks to neatly cut prey into two portions—one to eat now and one to save for later."''
:''"Fascinating, isn’t it? I wish I had that kind of restraint!"''
:''"Why don’t you try evolving one of your Axew? Maybe I can get some tips for my meal prepping!"''
 
*3/4
:''"Look at this fine Fraxure, <player>!"''
:''"Now that you’ve got one of your own, here are a few more Fraxure facts."''
:''"Their territory battles can be intensely violent, and their tusks can shatter rocks."''
:''"But the tusks don’t grow back once they break, so Fraxure won’t use them unless truly necessary."''
:''"Even so, getting up close to one has me on edge—not unlike the sharp edges of their tusks!"''
:''"Haha!"''
:''"No? Ah well. So much for my sharp wit."''
:''"Anyway, it’s a good thing that Haxorus, Fraxure’s Evolution, has a kind disposition."''
:''"Why don’t you evolve Fraxure so we can see for ourselves?"''
 
*4/4
:''"Your Haxorus’s tusks are positively gleaming!"''
:''"Or should I say beaming? Those sturdy tusks can cut steel beams and stay sharp! Haxorus are covered in great armor, too."''
:''"They’re docile, but they’ll become incredibly angry if their tusks are touched. Understandable—both Pokémon and people have different sensitivities."''
:''"Some of us are huggers, like me and Spark! But Blanche, ah, isn’t."''
:''"Nothing’s wrong with either, of course! It’s all part of what makes each person, and Pokémon, unique."''
:''"Thanks for spending the day with me, <player>. I’ll see you again soon!"''
 
=====Squirtle Community Day Classic=====
*1/4
:''"Great to see you, <player>! I was walking through a forest earlier and saw something amazing—fountains of water, coming out of a river!"''
:''"At first, I wondered who would install a fountain in the middle of nature."''
:''"But I saw the flash of a shell, and I realized our mystery architect must be a Squirtle!"''
:''"Squirtle hide in their shells to protect themselves, then strike with spouts of water at every opportunity. That must’ve been what I saw!"''
:''"Squirtle is also known as a Pokémon that aspiring Trainers from the Kanto region can choose to be their first-partner Pokémon."''
:''"Why don’t you have a look at the Tiny Turtle Pokémon yourself?"''
 
*2/4
:''"Welcome back, <player>! While you were observing Squirtle, I happened upon a Wartortle with algae growing out of its shell!"''
:''"Wartortle is Squirtle’s Evolution. Ones with algae on their shells are very old, so imagine what that venerable Wartortle must have seen in its years!"''
:''"Why don’t you evolve one of your Squirtle? It’ll be able to keep you company for a good long while."''
 
*3/4
:''"Great work, <player>! I wasn’t exaggerating when I said Wartortle could keep you company for a long time—they’re said to live for 10,000 years!"''
:''"Their furry tails are a symbol of longevity and become deeper in color as Wartortle age."''
:''"Isn’t that fascinating? It’s the opposite of humans!"''
:''"And Wartortle don’t just have incredible endurance—they can also grow even stronger. When they evolve into Blastoise, they grow rocket cannons on their shells!"''
:''"If you evolve a Wartortle, you can see it for yourself! "''
 
*4/4
:''"Look at the rocket cannons on that Blastoise, <player>! As you can see, Blastoise has spouts extending from the top of its shell."''
:''"Once Blastoise takes aim at an enemy, it can blast out water with more force than a fire hose."''
:''"That might be a fun way to cool down during a scorching summer, eh?"''
:''"Blastoise would have to hold back in a pool party, though—some researchers say the jets of water from Blastoise’s rocket cannons can punch through thick steel."''
:''"But with a Trainer like you, I’m sure everything will be under control, whether you and your Blastoise are out for some summer fun or engaged in a fierce battle!"''
:''"And speaking of summer fun, I’ve got to get the inflatable pool set up for Meltan. Thanks for spending the day with me, <player>. I hope you have a blast!"''
 
*1/4 (early version)
:''"Hello, <player>! It’s great to see you! Can you guess what else I saw earlier while walking through the forest? Fountains of water, coming out of a river!"''
:''"At first, I wondered who would install a fountain in the middle of nature."''
:''"But then, I saw beautiful auburn between the spouts of water, and realized our mystery architect must be a Squirtle!"''
:''"Squirtle hide in their shells to protect themselves, then strike back with spouts of water at every opportunity. That must've been what I saw!"''
:''"Squirtle’s also well known as a Pokémon that aspiring Trainers from the Kanto region can choose to be their first partner Pokémon."''
:''"Why don’t you have a look at the Tiny Turtle Pokémon yourself, <player>? "''
 
*2/4 (early version)
:''"Welcome back, <player>! While you were getting up and close with Squirtle, I happened upon a Wartortle with algae growing out of its shell!"''
:''"Wartortle is Squirtle's evolution. Ones with algae on their shells are very old, so imagine what that Wartortle’s seen in its years!"''
:''"Why don’t you evolve one of your Squirtle, <player>? It’ll be able to keep you company for a good long while."''
 
*3/4 (early version)
:''"Great work, <player>! I wasn’t exaggerating when I said Wartortle could keep you company for a long time. Maybe even longer than me!"''
:''"Wartortle are said to live 10,000 years. Their furry tails are popular as a symbol of longevity."''
:''"Their tails become increasingly deeper in color as they age. Isn’t that fascinating? It’s the exact opposite of us humans!"''
:''"And Wartortle doesn’t just have incredible endurance—they can also grow to become even stronger. When they evolve into Blastoise, they grow rocket cannons on their shells!"''

:''"Once Blastoise takes aim at an enemy, it can blast out water with even more force than a fire hose."''
:''"Now that might be a fun way to cool down during a scorching summer, eh?"''
:''"Blastoise would just have to be mindful of its own power—some researchers even say the jets of water Blastoise spouts from the rocket cannons on its shell can punch through thick steel!"''
:''"But with a Trainer like you, I’m sure everything will be under control, whether you and your Blastoise are out for some summer fun, or engaged in a fierce battle!"''
:''"And speaking of summer fun, I’ve got to run and get the inflatable pool out for Meltan. Thanks for spending the day with me, <player>. I’ll see you again soon! "''
 
=====Slippery Swirls=====
*1/4
:''"<Player>! You’ll never guess what I saw on my walk earlier. It was a pond full of Poliwag!"''
:''"Poliwag tend to stay in water because they’re unsteady on their newly grown legs."''
:''"They seem to aspire to land-based locomotion, though, so they do their best to waddle along when they get out of the water."''
:''"Isn’t that moving? Those little Pokémon, trying their best against the odds to improve themselves... *sniff*"''
:''"We could all learn something from Poliwag about stepping out of our comfort zones. How about you take the chance to observe some now?"''
 
*2/4
:''"Welcome back, <player>. How did your observations go? Did you see any Poliwag waddling around?"''
:''"Some researchers recommend that Trainers bring their Poliwag on walks every day to strengthen its legs."''
:''"Of course, such regimented training isn’t necessary for Poliwhirl, Poliwag’s Evolution. Its two legs are well developed, and it can be seen marching all over in search of bug Pokémon to eat."''
:''"Why don’t you try evolving a Poliwag, <player>? But be careful you don’t look at Poliwhirl’s swirl for too long. I’ll tell you about THAT when you get back!"''
 
*3/4
:''"Nice Poliwhirl, <player>!"''
:''"Do you see the distinctive swirl on its belly? Staring at it causes drowsiness."''
:''"In fact, parents have been known to use it in place of lullabies to help their children go to sleep."''
:''"It’s a great Pokémon to have around when you’re struggling with insomnia, but less so when you’re *yaaawn* in the middle of..."''
:''"... ... ..."''
:''"...Ack! Sorry, <player>—looking at your Poliwhirl almost put me to sleep! Now, where was I? Ah, yes! Another special trait of Poliwhirl’s is that it can evolve into two different Pokémon!"''
:''"First, we have the brawny Poliwrath. Its body is solid muscle."''
:''"When swimming through cold seas, Poliwrath uses its impressive arms to smash through drifting ice and plow forward."''
:''"And second, we have the commanding Politoed! It’s the leader of Poliwag and Poliwhirl. When Politoed roars, they all cower in fear."''
:''"Its cries sound like screams, but they actually served as inspiration for a beautiful ballad. I’d sure love to hear it!"''
:''"So, are you curious to see Poliwhirl’s Evolutions for yourself?"''
 
*4/4
:''"Welcome back, <player>! What Pokémon did you decide to evolve your Poliwhirl into?"''
:''"Poliwrath? Politoed? One of each, perhaps?"''
:''"Whatever the case, remember to approach your research like a Poliwag learning how to walk—one step at a time!"''
:''"Thanks for all your help today, <player>. I’m feeling inspired after seeing your Poliwag’s journey, and I hope you are, too!"''
:''"Until next time—let’s GO!"''
 
====Throwback Challenge Champion 2020 and Throwback Challenge Celebration 2020====

* 1/5
:''"Hi there, <player>. I can't help but be impressed by your progress. You've done fantastic work in researching Pokémon originally discovered in the [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]s. Now that we've researched Pokémon that were found in those regions... let's take a closer look at Pokémon originally discovered in the [[Unova]] region! I think it's fascinating that even though we know a lot about Pokémon from all over the world, there's always more to learn! Speaking of discoveries, I've been doing some additional research and heard about an interesting phenomenon that has to do with {{p|Meowth}} in the [[Galar]] region. I was speaking with a [[Sonia|researcher]] who's the granddaughter of a [[Professor Magnolia|colleague]] from Galar, and she shared some intriguing information. It seems that Galarian Meowth lived with seafaring people, which toughened their bodies so much that parts of them turned to iron. May be I could get a few workout tips—I've been looking to some ways to toughen up myself! Anyway...let's do some more research on Pokémon originally discovered in Unova, but be sure to keep your eyes open for other exciting discoveries."''

====May 22, 2023====
*After obtaining a Shadow Shard for the first time
:''"Huh? What’s this? It’s exuding some eerie energy. I wonder if it has something to do with Team GO Rocket’s increased presence and those Shadow Raids..."''
:''"Would you do me a favor and track down a few more by battling Team GO Rocket? When we have <number>, I’ll see if we can put them together to make something that can help in Shadow Raids!"''
*After collecting enough shadow shards for the first time
:''"Great job getting those Shadow Shards! Good name, eh? Now, let’s combine them. We can use my invention—the Super Shadow Shard Scrubber! But we can just call it the Shard Refiner. Give it a try!"''
:''"Incredible! They made a beautiful gem, and we’ve purified that shadowy energy. I’ll call it...a Purified Gem! I’ll bet something like this can help calm the enraged Shadow Pokémon in Shadow Raids."''
:''"I hypothesize that this will decrease an enraged Shadow Raid Boss’s Attack and Defense. The more of these gems you or other Trainers use, the greater the effect ought to be. Why don’t you test it?"''
====Starry Skies====
<!--Part 3/4 was hosted by Rhi-->
*1/4
:''"<Player>, great timing!"''
:''"I just got back from a harrowing expedition. I’ll spare you the gritty details, but it involved boulders, quicksand, and lots of Venipede."''
:''"Anyway, I’ve come out on the other side with some exciting treasures: fossils, King’s Rocks, and a trove of maps!"''
:''"It’s hard to determine who or what left the maps behind, especially given their contents. For example, this one apparently leads to “the world’s tastiest Poffin.”"''
:''"There was one in particular that caught my eye: a map of the skies showing the exact position of the stars today!"''
:''"It made me wonder if this is a purely informational map, or if it points toward something special."''
:''"What do you say we find out together?"''
:''"Seeing as the stars are our inspiration, how about we focus on either diurnal Pokémon—meaning Pokémon that are active during the day—or their opposite, nocturnal Pokémon?"''
:''"Take some time to think about which Pokémon you’re more interested in researching. Once you’ve decided, we can set off!"''
*2/4
:''"Which would you rather research: Pokémon that appear during the daytime or Pokémon that appear at night?"''

|}
*4/4
:''"Welcome back, <player>! How did it go?"''
:''"You ran into Rhi? They just stopped by to chat with me, too!"''
:''"Rhi was hot on the heels of something otherworldly. We were getting ready to rally the Team Leaders when—get this—a Cosmog blissfully bobbed by!"''
:''"You don’t see that every day."''
:''"I recall Rhi mentioning that Cosmog’s gaseous body can be blown away by the slightest breeze, but it doesn’t seem to care."''
:''"Even so, we can’t just leave it be. You’d better hurry and catch that Cosmog before it blows into some trouble!"''
:''"While you’re doing that, I’ll ponder how another Cosmog found its way here...and whether it was more than luck that we happened to have a map of the stars on this exact day."''
:''"Mysteries to illuminate in the future, as Rhi might say!"''
====Catching Some Z's====
*1/2
:''"Zzz... Bwuh?"''
:''"Oh! Sorry about that, <player>."''
:''"I’m *yawn* running on very little sleep. Candela gave me some of the coffee beans she’s been raving about, so I did the neighborly thing and gave ’em a whirl."''
:''"The coffee was delicious, but WAY stronger than I’m used to. It kept me wide awake into the wee hours of the night."''
:''"Getting a good amount of sleep is essential if you want to keep your brain sharp. Speaking personally, exhaustion tends to steer me toward more...outlandish theories."''
:''"Hm? You want to hear one? Well...all right. But let’s keep it between us, OK?"''
:''"Somewhere on my desk there’s an early draft of a paper called “The Aerodynamics of Various Hats as Worn by Pikachu.” It’s very well researched, I assure you!"''
:''"But that’s enough about me. Do you have any theories of your own you’d like to explore?"''
:''"Why don’t you sleep on it and get back to me?"''
*2/2
:''"Ah—hello, <player>!"''
:''"Candela’s extra-strength coffee is finally out of my system, so I’m back to snoozing like a Snorlax—and thinking up more promising ideas for papers."''
:''"“The Effects of Elevation on Snorlax Snoring Patterns” is going to be a hit, I just know it!"''
:''"How about you, <player>? Feeling refreshed, I hope?"''
:''"I’m sure whatever you’ve thought up over the last few days is more than worthy of research!"''
:''"Now get out there and seize the day—and remember to get a good night’s sleep!"''
====From A to Zygarde====
*1/6
:''"Hello, <player>! What’ve you been up to? Catching Pokémon? Exploring a new Route, perhaps?"''
:''"As for me, I’ve been absorbed in reading a research article about the Order Pokémon, Zygarde."''
:''"The writer hypothesizes that Zygarde monitors the ecosystem from deep within the cave where it lives. And when the ecosystem falls into disarray, it appears and reveals its secret power."''
:''"I wonder if it ventures outside for other reasons. Here’s an idea for a paper: “Zygarde Habitats and Migration Patterns”!"''
:''"What do you think? I wonder what other activities and locales might interest Zygarde..."''
:''"Try to come up with a few theories while you’re out exploring!"''
*2/6
:''"Welcome back, <player>!"''
:''"While you were out, I caught up on observational reports from local Trainers."''
:''"Curiously, several mentioned amorphous, green blobs they found along Routes. Some Trainers even thought they might be alive!"''
:''"I have a theory about what those wobbly blobs might be, but I’d like to review my research materials first. Maybe even reread that article from earlier..."''
:''"In the meantime, please continue your fieldwork. I’m positive I’ll have a less amorphous update by the time you get back."''
:''"Oh, and I suggest you power up your Pokémon, just in case you run into anything unexpected out there!"''
*3/6
:''"There you are, <player>! You’ll never guess what happened!"''
:''"As I combed through my notes, I saw something blur past me and come to a screeching halt outside the lab."''
:''"It moved fast, but I’m almost positive it was the very Pokémon I’ve been investigating: Zygarde!"''
:''"It might still be there. Check it out, and here—take this. I’ll explain how to use it once you’re back."''
*4/6
:''"Incredible, <player>!"''
:''"So it really was Zygarde!"''
:''"Zygarde is a curious Pokémon. It’s made of Zygarde Cells, and its appearance depends on the number of cells it has gathered."''
:''"I’d say this one has about 10% of its cells. It’ll change and grow as it collects more."''
:''"And that’s what my gift is for! The Zygarde Cube can be used to store the Zygarde Cells that you find. You can think of it as a nest for those cells."''
:''"And as for where can you find those cells... Do you recall those green blobs that have been found along Routes? I reckon they were, in fact, Zygarde Cells!"''
:''"Could I ask you to test that hypothesis, <player>?"''
*5/6
:''"Excellent work finding your first Zygarde Cell, <player>!"''
:''"You’re off to a great start to assembling Zygarde’s forms, but there’s a long journey ahead of you."''
:''"It looks like this Zygarde needs to collect 250 cells to reach its Complete Forme. It seems the cells are only gathering along Routes, so you’ve got a lot of traveling in your future!"''
:''"I can’t wait for you to get started—just think of all the Pokémon and friends you’ll meet on the way!"''
:''"Explore a few more Routes, and I suggest you use an Incense while you’re out there. We’ve got to keep up with our studies of other Pokémon as well!"''
*6/6
:''"Welcome back, <player>!"''
:''"You traveled five entire Routes?! Well done! That adventurous spirit is what makes you such a joy to work with."''
:''"I’m sure Zygarde appreciates your perseverance too. And your efforts will be well-rewarded! In its Complete Forme, Zygarde has enough power to overwhelm even Xerneas or Yveltal."''
:''"Zygarde can radiate high-powered energy from the orifice on its chest. It uses force to neutralize those who harm the ecosystem."''
:''"That’s some good motivation for us to each do our part, eh? Even little things, like recycling when we can. But I don’t think we should need a threat to want to care for our surroundings."''
:''"After all, Pokémon and even Trainers like yourself do their best in a healthy environment—we should all work hard to make the world a place where everyone can thrive."''
:''"I’ll leave you with that thought, <player>. Smooth travels on your journey to gather Zygarde Cells, and let me be the first to know when you’ve collected enough to see its Complete Forme. I’ll be waiting on the edge of my seat!"''
