Hey there, TRAINER! I wanted to check in on your progress. It looks like you’ve grown even more as a Trainer since we last spoke! As for me, I’ve been spending a lot of time with my Buddy Pokémon lately, and it’s helped me think of some new research opportunities. Do you remember your first Buddy Pokémon? I remember mine—it was the mysterious Hex Nut Pokémon Meltan! I still remember the day it earned its very own Best Buddy ribbon. That’s a proud moment in any Trainer’s journey, don’t you think? Meltan and I have been around the block a few times, but I still look forward to the next PokéStop we’ll visit. Why don’t you and your buddy go out and visit some of your favorite places together?

Hope you enjoyed a few walks together with your buddy, Trainer. Did you come across any interesting PokéStops? I was inspired to head outdoors myself. I joined Spark and his buddy for a long walk after he won a battle. I even took a celebratory snapshot to mark the occasion! Going on walks together can be a great way to strengthen your bond with your Pokémon. It’s also a wonderful form of exercise! Seeing the bond Spark shares with his Pokémon gave me some ideas for more research. Oh, and Spark also wanted me to let you know that he’s cheering you on! How about you and your buddy go out for a walk, challenge another Trainer and their Pokémon to battle, and take a few snapshots to capture some fun moments together? Working hard is important, but so is savoring the memories made along the way! Have fun!

Did you make any fun memories with your Pokémon, TRAINER? I’m always amazed by the variety in the snapshots taken by Trainers from all over the world. I’m especially fond of ones that capture surprise encounters with Pokémon like Smeargle! That’s one of the best parts of taking snapshots—you never know what you’re going to see! Hmm... That reminds me of when Team GO Rocket decided to start showing up in Trainers’ snapshots uninvited. And THAT reminds me of some more research I need your help with! To start, why don’t you and your buddy get warmed up with some raids? When you’re ready, I think we’ll need some help clearing out the Team GO Rocket Leaders in the area. They’re always up to something, so it’s good to keep an eye out in case they try to take over any nearby PokéStops. Good luck!

Fantastic work, TRAINER. The Team GO Rocket Leaders are a challenge for most Trainers, but I knew they wouldn’t stand a chance against you and your Buddy Pokémon! The power of friendship is strong indeed—and just one of many benefits to building relationships with your Pokémon. The trust between a Trainer and their Pokémon is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Make sure to cherish it! I’m glad I was able to check in on your progress, Trainer. I’ll be back with more fun challenges as you continue your journey. Until next time!
