1^st Part

Good to see you again, TRAINER. Have you noticed an increased number of Abra in the area?
Yes, so did I. I originally thought this strange phenomenon was happening due to Abra’s ability to teleport.
When Abra decides to teleport randomly, it creates the illusion that it’s made copies of itself.
However, what’s happening right now really does seem to be a large number of Abra appearing in the wild! Let’s research more about Abra and see what we can discover about the Psi Pokémon!

2^nd Part

Fantastic work, TRAINER! Are you having difficulty catching Abra you encounter?
It’s said that you must clear your mind if you want to catch an Abra.
Or maybe you could ask your buddy for some catching assistance!
I’ve got a few more things about Abra that I could use your help researching. How about you give me a hand, and I’ll see if I can find a nice treat for your buddy?

3^rd Part

I’m sure your buddy appreciates that delicious Poffin! I’m more of a Pinap Berry man myself.
While researching Abra, I read that it can sense danger and maintains a telepathic radar even while it’s sleeping! What amazing abilities!
Why don’t you keep researching? As a token of my thanks, I’ll give you one of the Rocket Radars I’ve developed.
While it won’t give you Abra’s ability to sense danger while sleeping, it will help you track down any trouble the Team GO Rocket Leaders are stirring up.

4^th Part

Thank you again, TRAINER, for all your help today. It was incredible researching Abra with you.
We learned so much about this Psychic-type Pokémon. Rumor has it that some lucky Trainers even encountered Shiny Abra in the wild!
Pokémon are truly amazing creatures. There’s always something to discover.
Until next time, TRAINER!
