1^st Part

Hello, TRAINER! It’s great to see you.
Speaking of being seen, I’ve been getting the feeling that something’s watching me while I’ve been out walking.
I’m fairly certain my mystery observer is a Pokémon, but I haven’t the froggiest what it could be.
I suppose there’s only one way to know for sure...
Let’s hop to it, TRAINER!

2^nd Part

Welcome back, TRAINER!
Your investigation went better than I could have possibly hopped. What a delight to see Froakie up close!
Froakie secretes flexible bubbles from its chest and back. The bubbles reduce the damage it would otherwise take from attacks.
If you think that’s cool, just wait till you see Froakie’s Evolution!
Why don’t you try evolving Froakie for yourself?

3^rd Part

Nice job, TRAINER!
Frogadier’s swiftness is unparalleled. It can scale a tower of more than 2,000 feet in only a minute!
On top of that, Frogadier can throw bubble-covered pebbles with precise control. Quite the skill set, wouldn’t you say?
I tend to associate bubbles with baths, personally—I never would have thought to use them to cover pebbles!
Frogadier’s pretty impressive, but I’ve heard its Evolution is even more so.
Will you help me study it, TRAINER?
Let’s put a spring in our step!

4^th Part

Wow—you made quick work of that, TRAINER!
Greninja can create throwing stars out of compressed water. When it throws them at high speed, they can even split metal in half!
Quite the upgrade from Frogadier’s bubble-coated pebbles, eh?
Thanks for helping me learn more about Froakie and its Evolutions, TRAINER.
Between Greninja’s grace and your skills as a Trainer, I’m sure the two of you can overcome any obstacle. Maybe even split it in two! Haha!
Now, let’s GO!
