Hey there, TRAINER. I can see you’ve been working as hard as ever! We’ve been doing a lot of reminiscing lately, haven’t we? I think it’s important to look back on your accomplishments from time to time—especially when you’ve accomplished so much! A major moment for many Trainers is their first victory in battle. It’s an unforgettable thrill that comes with a swell of pride for the Pokémon that sealed the victory. How about you, TRAINER? I’m sure you’ve got some epic battle stories to share with your fellow Trainers. I’d like to focus on your battling skills for this next challenge. So to prepare, why don’t you get your team sorted and get in some throwing practice?

You clearly have some powerful Pokémon, Trainer. You’ve done an amazing job training them! I wanted to see how your battling skills have progressed, so I consulted with Candela to get her thoughts. I’m happy to report that she’s just as proud of you as I am! For this next challenge, she suggested taking on some of her most difficult opponents—Team GO Rocket and its leaders. The Team GO Rocket Leaders can be intimidating, so Candela asked me to pass along some extra guidance. She said that when it comes to battling, you should take on your opponents with a cool head, strong Pokémon, and a heart full of passion. With that in mind, I think it’s time for you to head out and put your skills to the test!

Wonderful work, TRAINER! Your battling skills are even more impressive than the last time we talked. Those skills are vital not only when you take on Team GO Rocket but also when you battle in raids. Do you remember your first raid, Trainer? To me, there’s something special about a group of Trainers coming together to challenge a raid with their partner Pokémon. There’s no questioning the importance of the bonds Trainers share with their Pokémon, but I think the bonds Trainers share with their peers are equally important. No matter your skill level, what team you’re on, or the Pokémon you bring to battle, raids are about each Trainer working together to achieve a common goal. And that’s what the Trainer community is all about! I hope that inspired you to head out and challenge some raids with your fellow Trainers—because that’s part of your next task! It should be a fun challenge, so be sure to give it your best shot!

Excellent work, Trainer. Did you enjoy spending time with your fellow Trainers as you completed your tasks? Hopefully you even found a Pokémon that’ll make a great addition to your team! I hope you continue making memories with Trainers from all over as you work together and explore this amazing world filled with Pokémon. Very few Trainers have made it as far as you have. Be sure to take a moment to celebrate your progress. And remember—the journey is just as important as the destination! Until next time, TRAINER!
