Professor Willow dialogue

1^st Part

• Ah, TRAINER! What timing!
• I was just thumbing through my trusty field journal and thinking about how grateful I am for all the adventures you and I have shared.
• We’ve researched wondrous Pokémon from regions near and far, triumphed over the troublesome Team GO Rocket, and forged some excellent friendships along the way.
• And wouldn’t you know it, a new and exciting adventure is just around the corner.
• You see, a lush field of flowers has sprouted almost out of nowhere, and I suspect the cause just might be a Shaymin hiding nearby!
• Spark says he got eyes on it and that this one might even be unique!
• We can start an investigation by learning more about Pokémon first discovered in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. After all, you know what they say: knowledge is power!

2^nd Part

• Hello again, TRAINER!
• While you busied yourself gathering intel, I was studying up on Land Forme Shaymin.
• In its Land Form, this Mythical Pokémon is said to disguise itself as a flowering plant to avoid detection.
• A fact which leads me to conclude that some of these blossoms nearby could actually be our Shaymin, hiding in plain sight!
• Since Land Forme Shaymin is a Grass type, let’s gather some Grass-type Pokémon for observation and research. Comparing their behaviors might provide valuable insights.

3^rd Part

• Good to see you again—oh, you’re wondering about these grass stains?
• Erm… Well, I remembered a little factoid: the flowers on Shaymin’s body will burst into bloom if it is lovingly hugged and can sense gratitude.
• Which is why I figured I’d try my luck hugging some flower patches. Makes total sense, right? Sadly, I didn’t find Shaymin. But as they say, you can only learn through trial and error!
• Anyway, I promised to share more Shaymin facts, didn’t I? Here’s a nugget of knowledge for you!
• Upon taking in the scent of a particular rare flower, Shaymin is enveloped in light—its tiny body changes into its Sky Forme, giving it the power of flight! Wouldn’t that be a sight to see?
• And on that note, let’s study some Flying-type Pokémon for inspiration.

4^th Part

• Wonderful Pokémon research as always, TRAINER!
• These findings will prove essential in pinpointing Shaymin’s exact location. Finding a Mythical Pokémon is never easy, but we’re so close.
• Another fact! Did you know Shaymin is able to transform ruined lands by dissolving toxins in the air? Amazing!
• Now then, you’ll want to be ready to catch Shaymin when it finally does appear, so now’s the time to train up!
• How are your Poké Ball throwing skills? Let’s find out by putting them to the test!

5^th Part

• Welcome back, TRAINER! You look like you’d enjoy a fascinating Shaymin fact. Did you know it’s referred to as the Gratitude Pokémon?
• And if we practice some acts of gratitude ourselves, we might just coax our floral friend out of hiding. It’s a win-win!
• I’ve always found giving back to my friends deeply rewarding. And I’ll bet your friends would appreciate some Gifts too!
• You’re also welcome to surprise your favorite professor with a few Pinap Berries any time, although that likely won’t help us find Shaymin…
• Ahem. Now, remember to keep that heart filled with gratitude, and let’s continue our search!

6^th Part

• Hello, TRAINER! You are absolutely radiating gratitude!
• Call it professor’s intuition, but I have a feeling all of our hard work is about to be rewarded.
• Tracking down Mythical Pokémon is one of the toughest challenges a Trainer can undertake, but there’s nothing we can’t do when we work together!
• Let’s keep our eyes on the prize: more learning, and more acts of kindness!

7^th Part

• Masterful work! Phenomenal! Fantastic! I expected no less from you, TRAINER!
• You took on this great challenge, and your effort has paid off with a friend for life!
• Now that I get a closer look at your new pal, I finally understand those sighting reports. You’ve caught yourself a Shiny Shaymin!
• I can tell thanks to its unique color—always a telltale sign.
• There’s no doubt that Shaymin can sense my sincere gratitude for all the hard work you’ve done to learn more about this fascinating Pokémon.
• I look forward to whatever adventure awaits us next—and I’m already grateful for it!
