1^st Part

Hello, TRAINER! I’ve got something for you to sink your teeth into.
Have you noticed the peculiar marks on the trees and boulders in the area? And the crushed berries on the ground?
While I’m a little disappointed in today’s Pinap Berry harvest, I’ve got a feeling that a Pokémon is responsible—and that means we have something to research!
And I’ll bet you even have an idea what Pokémon we’ll be investigating!
Why don’t you search the area and let me know what you find?

2^nd Part

Welcome back, TRAINER.
Aha! So Axew are responsible for those unique marks and crushed berries.
These Pokémon play with each other by knocking their large tusks together. Crushing berries is how they test each other’s strength.
Axew tusks are sharp enough that people long ago used them as cooking knives!
These Pokémon find culinary uses for their tusks in the wild, too.
Fraxure, Axew’s Evolution, uses its thick tusks to neatly cut prey into two portions—one to eat now and one to save for later.
Fascinating, isn’t it? I wish I had that kind of restraint!
Why don’t you try evolving one of your Axew? Maybe I can get some tips for my meal prepping!

3^rd Part

Look at this fine Fraxure, TRAINER!
Now that you’ve got one of your own, here are a few more Fraxure facts.
Their territory battles can be intensely violent, and their tusks can shatter rocks.
But the tusks don’t grow back once they break, so Fraxure won’t use them unless truly necessary.
Even so, getting up close to one has me on edge—not unlike the sharp edges of their tusks!
Haha!
No? Ah well. So much for my sharp wit.
Anyway, it’s a good thing that Haxorus, Fraxure’s Evolution, has a kind disposition.
Why don’t you evolve Fraxure so we can see for ourselves?

4^th Part

Your Haxorus’s tusks are positively gleaming!
Or should I say beaming? Those sturdy tusks can cut steel beams and stay sharp! Haxorus are covered in great armor, too.
They’re docile, but they’ll become incredibly angry if their tusks are touched. Understandable—both Pokémon and people have different sensitivities.
Some of us are huggers, like me and Spark! But Blanche, ah, isn’t.
Nothing’s wrong with either, of course! It’s all part of what makes each person, and Pokémon, unique.
Thanks for spending the day with me, TRAINER. I’ll see you again soon!
