1st Part
- Ah, TRAINER—perfect timing!
- Come look at this. See that there, in the dirt?
- That’s right—footprints! Though not human ones, I’d wager.
- You’d be hard pressed to find shoes that would fit whatever feet made these, I think! There must be a Pokémon responsible, though I’m not sure which one...
- I’m going to stick around and see if I can’t learn a bit more from these footprints, so why don’t you follow them and see where they take you?
- Make sure to snap some photos of your findings!
2nd Part
- Hey there, TRAINER! That Ground-type Pokémon you caught looks spectacular.
- Did you know that Drilbur, the Mole Pokémon, can dig through the ground at incredible speeds?
- In the Galar region, Drilbur often leave farmers in a tizzy because they damage their crops. Sounds like mole than they can handle, eh? Haha!
- Anyway, while you were out, I received reports that the Pokémon we’re looking for has vines on its body.
- How about you search the bushes nearby to see if you can find any vines? Don’t forget to snap some photos, too!
3rd Part
- Welcome back, TRAINER. You got a great shot of that Bug-type Pokémon!
- I encountered a curious Bug-type Pokémon myself, actually: Combee.
- Known as the Tiny Bee Pokémon, Combee is actually a trio! The three work together to collect honey and deliver it to their colony.
- Such abundant teamwork sure is admirable!
- I’m sure our team leaders strive to achieve that same level of synergy.
- Anyway, the Combee I saw got me thinking: Maybe we’ve been searching too close to the ground. If my hypothesis is correct, we’re on the trail of a Pokémon that can sometimes be seen hopping from tree to tree.
- This time, try searching among the trees to see if you can find any leads. And don’t forget to photograph your findings!
4th Part
- Welcome back, TRAINER! Sweet Nuzleaf.
- I believe the Pokémon we’re after tends to live deep in forests—much like Nuzleaf does—so we should be on the right track.
- Ah, look—your Nuzleaf just started playing its grass flute!
- The sound of it is said to make its listeners uneasy. I wonder if it’s trying to lead the Pokémon out into the open...
- Wait, what was that?
- Look there! A dark shadow just dashed across the sky! Keep your eyes up, TRAINER, and chase after it! Let’s GO!
5th Part
- Great job out there, TRAINER!
- The photo you sent me speaks to your efforts. And I see you made a new friend in that Rufflet!
- Did you know that Rufflet will challenge Pokémon stronger than itself, even if it might lose? That’s how it pushes itself to grow!
- Pretty brave, huh? I think bravery is exactly what we’ll need as we prepare to encounter the mysterious Pokémon we’ve been tracking.
- Thanks to all the information we’ve gathered, I’m certain that we’re dealing with Zarude, the Rogue Monkey Pokémon.
- The Mythical Pokémon Zarude tend to live in packs in the forest, but it looks like the one we’ve been following is all on its own.
- Sounds like the perfect chance to catch it, don’t you think?
- With everything we’ve learned—and all the Pokémon friends you’ve made along the way—I’m sure you’ll succeed!
