Professor Willow dialogue1st Part
- Hey there, TRAINER! I hope you and your fellow Trainers have been taking care of yourselves. Remember to take a break every now and then to do something you really enjoy! I like to go on short walks, myself.
- In fact, I was out for a stroll with my Buddy Pokémon earlier when I heard a strange crackling sound.
- Upon further inspection, I realized it was a large group of Charmander gathered in an open field! The source of the noise was the soft crackling of their tail flames.
- Seeing so many Charmander at once was highly unusual, though this wasn’t the first time I’ve witnessed such a gathering...
- Well, whatever the reason, this is the perfect chance to learn more about Charmander!
- Would you mind giving me a hand by catching some, Trainer?
2nd Part
- Wonderful work, Trainer.
- While you were out in the field, I looked through some research focused on Charmander and its Evolutionary line and came away with some interesting information.
- For starters, Charmander is also known as the Lizard Pokémon and seems to be fond of hot things. You can tell how a Charmander is feeling by looking at the flame burning at the tip of its tail. What a fascinating Pokémon!
- Hmmm... Perhaps those Charmander I ran into while walking were gathered to enjoy the sun? We may be able to learn more by evolving one.
- Charmander’s evolved form is Charmeleon—but be careful when evolving Charmander! Charmeleon is known for its fiery temper!
3rd Part
- That’s a fine Charmeleon you’ve got with you, TRAINER!
- Known as the Flame Pokémon, Charmeleon is hotheaded by nature and is constantly seeking out worthy opponents for battle.
- When it finally encounters a worthy foe, it becomes so excited that the flame at the tip of its tail flares up and turns a bluish-white color.
- The easiest way to calm a Charmeleon down is by winning a battle. That sure sounds like a certain team leader I know!
- Now, did you know Charmeleon can evolve? Not only that, but its evolved form, Charizard, is also known as the Flame Pokémon! Come back and see me once you’ve evolved your Charmeleon.
4th Part
- Congrats, Trainer! Your Charmeleon has now become the Flame Pokémon Charizard!
- Charizard is a truly amazing Pokémon. Its wings can carry it close to an altitude of 4,600 feet, and its fiery breath packs such great heat that it can melt almost anything!
- While all that raw power seems intimidating, Charizard never turns its flames on any opponent weaker than itself.
- What a superb display of control! It’s amazing to see how this Pokémon chooses to take on only the mightiest of opponents!
- They say the key to a successful partnership is a powerful bond, Trainer, so why not celebrate by spending a little time with your new Charizard?
5th Part
- I can see you’re really putting an effort into strengthening the bond between you and your Pokémon, TRAINER. Did you know that that bond can become a source of power for certain Pokémon? That’s right—I’m talking about Mega Evolution!
- Mega Evolution is the result of a strong connection between a Pokémon and its Trainer. Charizard is unique not only because it can Mega Evolve but also because it has two different Mega-Evolved forms!
- Its two Mega Evolutions, Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y, each come with their own strengths.
- It’s said that the overwhelming power dwelling within Mega Charizard X is so intense that it turns its body black and causes blue flames to spill from its mouth.
- Other research suggests that Mega Charizard Y uses its bond with its Trainer as the source of its power, resulting in speed and maneuverability greater than that of a fighter jet’s.
- Simply amazing! I can’t wait to see how Trainers use these Mega Evolutions in their Gym battle strategies!
- Thanks again for your help, TRAINER. I’ll be in touch as soon as I have more exciting research to share!
