- TRAINER! Good to see you. How’ve you been? Rested and relaxed, I hope?
- I’ve been full of energy since I saw Tapu Fini. And as I thought more about that encounter, I realized that over these past few months, we’ve been seeing quite a few Pokémon that were first found in Alola.
- And you—you’ve even been lucky enough to see all four of Alola’s island guardians!
- I can’t say I’m completely free of envy, but I’m glad you were able to have those experiences.
- After all, we professors owe much of our learning to adventurous Trainers like yourself!
- I wonder if our friendship would be as fruitful if our roles were reversed... I’d sure like to hope so! Haha!
- Keep exploring, TRAINER. You never know what you might find!
- Welcome back, TRAINER! Look at that—you’ve caught all of Alola’s first partner Pokémon!
- They make for quite the iconic trio.
- Let’s continue our Alola-inspired research today!
- Which of Alola’s islands piques your interest the most, TRAINER?
Melemele Island
- So you’re interested in Melemele Island, eh? No surprise there—it’s one of my favorites as well.
- Though perhaps that isn’t saying much... They’re all my favorites, really! Haha!
- As we’ve discussed, Melemele Island is where many Trainers in Alola begin the region’s island challenge.
- There’s even a Trainers’ School there, where aspiring young Trainers can make friends and study up on all things Pokémon.
- In the spirit of Melemele Island, why don’t you go meet some new Pokémon and send some Gifts to your friends?
Akala Island
- So you’re interested in Akala Island, eh? No surprise there—it’s one of my favorites as well.
- Though perhaps that isn’t saying much... They’re all my favorites, really! Haha!
- As I mentioned before, Akala Island offers a variety of geological features, including a volcano, fishing spots, and even waterfalls!
- I like to take a stroll when my mind gets mired in a problem, and it sounds like Akala Island would be a great place for that.
- In that spirit, why don’t you take a stroll yourself? I’ll be here when you get back.
Ula’Ula Island
- So you’re interested in Ula’Ula Island, eh? No surprise there—it’s one of my favorites as well.
- Though perhaps that isn’t saying much... They’re all my favorites, really! Haha!
- As we’ve discussed, Ula’Ula Island is home to Mount Lanakila, the highest peak in all of Alola! But did you know the summit of Mount Lanakila also houses Alola’s very own Pokémon League?
- It’s a place many Trainers aspire to reach, and doing so requires forging powerful bonds with Pokémon.
- In that spirit, why don’t you head out and find some new Pokémon partners, TRAINER?
Poni Island
- So you’re interested in Poni Island, eh? No surprise there—it’s one of my favorites as well.
- Though perhaps that isn’t saying much... They’re all my favorites, really! Haha!
- Did you know that Poni Island is home to the Battle Tree, Alola’s preeminent battle facility? Strong Trainers gather there to test their teams against each other.
- I’ve heard you can even meet some Pokémon League Champions there on occasion! The things I could learn from them...
- In the spirit of Poni Island—and as an act of public service—why don’t you test your battling skills against Team GO Rocket, TRAINER?
Melemele Island
- Welcome back! Did your friends like their Gifts?
Akala Island
- Welcome back! How was your adventure? Did you see anything new? You’ll have to tell me all about it!
Ula’Ula Island
- Welcome back! Let me take a look at the Pokémon you’ve returned with... I bet with some training, you and your Pokémon would be ready to take on Alola’s Pokémon League yourselves!
Poni Island
- Welcome back! I knew you’d have no trouble with Team GO Rocket. You never do!
All
- I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a great time getting to learn more about Alola, its Pokémon, and even its guardian deities.
- If there’s one thing I love about Pokémon, it’s that there’s always something new to learn!
- But to be honest with you, I was hoping we’d have a better idea by now of what attracted Alola’s guardian deities here.
- They usually spend their time protecting Alola, so what could’ve spurred them to come here?
- Could it be that they sensed something dangerous nearby that may threaten Alola? It would have to be something extraordinary—maybe even beyond our current understanding of Pokémon.
- Another daunting yet fascinating question for us to tackle together, TRAINER.
- Whatever comes next, I know the two of us will overcome it.
- For now, continue your island research. I’ll keep trying to spot the guardian deities!
- I’ll be in touch again soon. For now, let’s GO!
