1^st Part

• I’m sure I left them around here somewhere...
• Oh, hey, TRAINER!
• You haven’t seen my earplugs, have you? Those Team GO Rocket Grunts over there have been blasting music at higher volume than a Loudred all 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?
• I’m all for a good party, but theirs has been a real nuisance.
• Could you have a chat with those Grunts while I clean things up, TRAINER?

2^nd Part

• How did it go, TRAINER? Did you have a calm, reasonable discussion with those Team GO Rocket Grunts?
• No? They just started battling you? *sigh* I guess that’s to be expected.
• Well, thanks for getting them to quiet down all the same! I can finally hear myself think again.
• 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^rd Part

• Well done, TRAINER!
• 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!

4^th Part

• Great work, TRAINER!
• You’ve won us some peace and quiet, but I think we should make certain Team GO Rocket isn’t planning any more mischief.
• And that means taking down their boss, Giovanni!
• I know you can do it!

5^th Part

• Good news on my end—Meltan and I are just about finished picking up all the litter Team GO Rocket left behind.
• Thanks for your help today. We should throw our own party to celebrate your success!
• Just...at a reasonable volume. And we’ll pick up after ourselves, of course.
• I’ll see you again soon, TRAINER!
