Good to see you, TRAINER. I'm sorry to call you here so suddenly, but I'm afraid there's trouble afoot. That's right—Team GO Rocket is up to no good! We're not sure what their plan is just yet, but we know we have to stop them. Now, let's GO!

Welcome back, TRAINER. You did a tremendous job defeating those Team GO Rocket Grunts and saving those poor Shadow Pokémon! While you were busy battling, I received reports that Team GO Rocket has obtained a Flying-type Legendary Pokémon. Blanche is doing recon as we speak in hopes of figuring out exactly which Legendary Pokémon we’re dealing with. I have no doubt we’ll have more information soon. While we wait, why don’t you conduct some research on Flying-type Pokémon?

Thanks for catching all those Flying-type Pokémon, TRAINER! Blanche and I have been analyzing them to help us learn more about the Legendary Pokémon that Team GO Rocket captured. Unfortunately, our current hypothesis points to this Pokémon being one that’s near and dear to the team leaders’ hearts. While we gather more information, could you head back out into the field? We can’t let Team GO Rocket continue its plan unopposed!

Welcome back, Trainer. I see you’ve got yourself a Pidgeot and some Pidgeot Mega Energy! As impressive as this Pokémon is, though, it doesn’t seem to be the Flying-type Pokémon we've heard about in our reports. Blanche’s latest intel points to Giovanni being the one holding on to this mysterious Flying-type Legendary Pokémon, so we need to track him down. We believe our best bet at doing so is by first finding the Team GO Rocket Leaders—and that’s where you come in, Trainer. Let’s GO!

Great work, TRAINER! You’ve been a huge help in our efforts to track down Giovanni. I’m happy to report that the team leaders and I have made significant headway in our investigation. I’ve managed to finish building another Super Rocket Radar for you. You can use it to find and defeat Giovanni—and save that Legendary Pokémon!

Fantastic work as always, TRAINER! The fight against Team GO Rocket and their malicious machinations continues, but at least for today we can rest knowing that we’ve foiled their latest scheme. So, until next time—let’s GO!
