Professor Willow dialogue1st Part
- Good to see you, TRAINER! Do you hear that sound?
- All morning, I’ve been hearing the distinct sound of splashing water. While somewhat relaxing, it’s definitely not a normal thing to hear around the lab.
- Upon further investigation, I noticed an increased number of Magikarp in the wild. It was quite the sight to see so many of them splashing about.
- Guess it’s time to GO fishing! Get it? Because Magikarp is the Fish Pokémon?
- Anyway, I think it’ll be safe to approach Magikarp, as documentation indicates they’re harmless.
- However, I see potential in this Pokémon. It’s time to head out and investigate.
2nd Part
- Wonderful work, Trainer.
- Great work, Trainer! While you were out, I did a bit of a refresher on Magikarp.
- Did you know that some Magikarp can jump so high, they can leap over a mountain? Now that’s something I’d like to see!
- Also, while having a reputation for being worthless, this hardy Pokémon can thrive in any body of water, regardless of how dirty or polluted the water might be.
- I think Magikarp deserves a bit more credit, don’t you think? Let’s focus on evolving Magikarp, since doing so takes some effort.
- Maybe you should try using Pinap Berries when trying to catch Magikarp. Not only are Pinap Berries tasty, but they’re quite useful as well!
3rd Part
- Good job, TRAINER. Thanks to the research you’ve completed, it’s time to evolve that Magikarp of yours!
- Remember when I said that Magikarp is harmless? Well, that isn’t the case with its evolved form, Gyarados.
- Known as the Atrocious Pokémon, Gyarados has a reputation for being destructive. Tales of its rampaging nature are consistent across all research materials we have on it.
- So much for being harmless, am I right? Of note, Gyarados is both Water- and Flying-type—something you might not expect from its humble beginnings.
- Looks like you’ll be adding a powerful Pokémon to your team, but let’s proceed with caution.
4th Part
- Wonderful work, TRAINER. Looks like all your efforts have paid off, and you’ve got yourself a Gyarados.
- I’m sure this Pokémon will be a great member of your team when battling other Trainers or even Team GO Rocket!
- Even though Gyarados is known for being vicious and extremely aggressive, a talented Trainer such as yourself will be able to befriend and train it so it can meet its full potential.
- I’m excited to see what kinds of challenges you’ll demolish together!
- Just make sure that the demolition is limited to battles—not entire cities.
- Anyway, until next time!
