Special Research[]
Rhi's ArrivalRhi's Arrival Special Research was available during the event to everyone:
Professor Willow dialogue
- Ah—hello.
- Or, hmm... Would “what is up” be an acceptable greeting in this circumstance? I have been told the humans of this world are fond of such parlance.
- It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Rhi of the GO Ultra Recon Squad.
- You are a...Pokémon Trainer, is it? I am familiar with the concept.
- I apologize if I appear awkward. You are the first human I’ve met in this world.
- Do you see that hole in the sky? That is called an Ultra Wormhole, a tear in space that leads to a world very different from yours.
- In fact, I’ve traveled through that wormhole myself, in order to research its appearance and assist with any resulting anomalies occurring in your world.
- Hm? You have a concern?
- I see. This “Professor Willow” failed to appear before you, is it? I’m unfamiliar with any such individual, but I understand the concern that arises when a companion is missing.
- I will assist you in your search. In return, however, I would ask a favor.
- This world is mysterious. Would you assist me in expanding my knowledge of it?
- Thank you. I am fortunate to have found someone so kind.
- Tell me all about your world, Pokémon Trainer.
- Together, perhaps we can expose why the Ultra Wormholes have materialized in your world and mitigate the anomalies that result.
- Wah tee sup, Pokémon Trainer? Hmm... That feels incorrect.
- Thank you for your assistance thus far. Shall we turn our attention to other objectives?
- First, we must find out what caused the Ultra Wormholes to appear in this world.
- Second, we must keep watch for anything that may travel through them.
- And third, we must find your missing Willow friend.
- But before all of that, a question: what are those large, towering structures spread throughout the area? They seem to sometimes be blue or red or yellow, and they’re far larger than what you said are “PokéStops.”
- “Gyms,” is it? And Pokémon Trainers gather there to challenge powerful Pokémon in “Raid Battles”? Fascinating.
- Tell me everything you know about these Raid Battles, Pokémon Trainer.
- They seem to serve as nexus between powerful creatures and humans.
- If it is acceptable to you, I would like to start by focusing our efforts there.
- Until again, Pokémon Trainer.
- Thank you for shining a light on the concept of Raid Battles, Pokémon Trainer. In return, I will confide in you what I know about the Ultra Wormholes.
- Ultra Wormholes are portals into Ultra Space.
- These dimensional passageways allow creatures known as Ultra Beasts to spill into worlds they don’t belong—and they are fiercely strong.
- Ultra Beasts are similar to the creatures you call Pokémon—but to your eyes, I imagine they might appear...somewhat different than what you’re accustomed.
- As you have likely observed, more and more Ultra Beasts are appearing around you.
- The one in your world now is known as UB-01 Symbiont. Certain humans also call it Nihilego.
- It is a Rock- and Poison-type Ultra Beast that is thought to produce a strong neurotoxin. It appears to be a parasite that lives by feeding on people and Pokémon.
- I’d like to subdue it before it causes trouble for anyone in this world. Can I beg your help in this undertaking?
- I have no experience in Pokémon battles. Where I come from, Pokémon are shared.
- Furthermore, there are indications that someone from this world was sucked into an Ultra Wormhole. If that is true, that person could be in tremendous danger.
- But worry not, Pokémon Trainer.
- If that person was the Willow professor you’re searching for, the GO Ultra Recon Squad will no doubt come to their aid. Such is our purpose.
- In the between time, I will remain here to provide assistance and illuminate any truths I can.
- Let us continue to help each other, Pokémon Trainer.
A Radiant WorldA Radiant World Special Research was available during the event to ticket holders after completing Rhi's Arrival:
Professor Willow dialogue- To what are you up, Pokémon Trainer? That...that’s not it, is it? *sigh* I see you have caught many Ground-type Pokémon. May I ask why?
- They’re particularly effective against Rock- and Poison-type Pokémon like Nihilego, is it? I see. Your forethought is impressive.
- I have decided it would be prudent of me to explore and better familiarize myself with the surrounding area. Would you like to accompany?
- We can tell each other more about our worlds as we go.
- I am once again thankful to have acquainted myself with someone so cordial.
- There is still much for me to learn about this world, but it has been quite exciting thus far.
- Come, Pokémon Trainer. Let us see what we can discover together.
- A question, Pokémon Trainer—who are those people with the large red Rs on their clothes?
- Judging by their dour expressions, I do not believe they’re friends of yours.
- Team GO Rocket, is it? Curious...
- Their presence unnerves me.
- If they intend to cause us problems, may I rely on you?
- Your skill in battle is effervescent, Pokémon Trainer! Your aptitude assures me that Nihilego can be safely subdued.
- May we now observe the Gyms where Nihilego has been appearing? Participating in Raid Battles may prove illuminating as well.
- Hm? Ultra Beasts aren’t the only creatures you’ve encountered of late that are far from their homes?
- I see... The Island Guardians of Alola, is it? Perhaps they sensed that the Ultra Wormholes would appear and came to assess how much of a threat they may pose to Alola.
- The Alola region... I’ve heard tell of its shine. But we haven’t time for my wistfulness. Let us embark, Pokémon Trainer.
- Shall we pause, Pokémon Trainer?
- This is my first time in the field with another by my side. I apologize—I’ve yet to grow accustomed to the nuances of this dynamic.
- How do you typically enjoy your rest in this world?
- I see... Spending time with your Pokémon and friends, hatching Eggs, and other such endeavors, is it?
- I am enchanted by these “Incubators” that you place Eggs within.
- They seem an amazing feat of human science. Would you provide me a demonstration?
- Perhaps if we appear relaxed, Nihilego may respond in kind.
- Though there is always a chance it may try to feast upon you—but I will alert you if I notice such behavior in action.
- To think I may soon witness Nihilego being captured in a Poké Ball...
- You were unfazed by that confrontation with Nihilego.
- You seem unafraid of the unknown. It’s an admirable trait.
- Do you think Nihilego felt disoriented and alone when it found itself in an unfamiliar world? I feel a kinship with it in that way...
- I am lucky to have met a nice human so quickly. I hope Nihilego may also consider itself lucky to have encountered such a kind and accomplished Pokémon Trainer.
- In the end, Ultra Beasts are powerful creatures—and not easily controlled.
- Once they have arrived in a world, there is little left I can do...
- And yet you have managed to take it in gently as if it were any other Pokémon. Selfishly, I wish for a closer look at Nihilego in this state. Do you have a way to observe it safely?
- A “snapshot,” is it? What a delight.
- Seeing Nihilego in this lucent world, I might even say it is...beautiful?
- Your world is almost blindingly bright—and more verdant than I’ve ever experienced. I do hope you and your people take care to preserve its splendor.
- Were I to exist in such a sparkling world, I would devote my power to its protection.
- Would you mind if we continued our work as partners, Pokémon Trainer?
- Our goals easily entwine. Together, we can accomplish and learn much.
- You agree? Excellent. Now, our first course of action should be—
- Wait. What are these flowers blooming about us? Is this what Pokémon can do? Yours is truly a dazzling world...
- Judging by your recent actions, you seem to feel similar. You captured Nihilego, derailing disaster while seeking a solution to this world’s new dilemma.
- And regarding your Willow... I recently discovered this juice-stained coat near an Ultra Wormhole. There’s no way to be certain, but it seems highly probable that your Willow is somewhere in Ultra Space.
- But worry not, Pokémon Trainer. I will work with you to rescue him. You have done me many favors—it is only fair.
- If this man is anything like you’ve described, I have no doubt he’ll be well in the end.
- So long as Ultra Wormholes remain open here, we have a chance of his safe return—but Ultra Beasts may also continue to spill into this world.
- For now, I’ll see what else I can do to assist you.
- The GO Ultra Recon Squad normally works in pairs, and your presence has helped me understand why that is.
- In fact...
