Professor Willow dialogue

1^st Part

• Greetings, TRAINER! I’d like to take a break to tell you the fascinating tale of Keldeo, the Colt Pokémon.
• And if you’ve heard it before, well, it’s even better the second time around!
• Long ago, Keldeo joined forces with Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion, who taught it the ways of battle. Keldeo dashed across the world, seeking opportunities to grow stronger.
• That sounds like a certain Trainer I know… And now for the good news: rumors say that Keldeo has been spotted in the area! So let’s get out there and write the next chapter.

2^nd Part

• TRAINER, it’s wonderful to see you with Keldeo! My research has uncovered something remarkable—our friend has a true power that has yet to awaken!
• Just as Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion once guided Keldeo, now it’s your turn to help it grow and reveal its immense potential.
• Training with such a remarkable Pokémon isn’t just beneficial for Keldeo. It’s also a chance to strengthen your own skills!
• I’ll continue gathering information on our friend Keldeo while you saddle up and get ready to train!

3^rd Part

• Ah, TRAINER! I’m eager to hear about the progress with your remarkable companion. Have you seen Keldeo blast water from its hooves yet?
• This allows it to glide across bodies of water. It can even run over oceans and rivers! No need for boats with a skill like that.
• I’m sure Keldeo is perfecting these natural talents with you and is getting closer to awakening its true power!
• Keep up the momentum, TRAINER. You’re witnessing something truly extraordinary!

4^th Part

• Welcome back, TRAINER!
• As you’ve likely noticed, Keldeo has two types: Water and Fighting! This rare and powerful combination makes Keldeo incredibly versatile in battle.
• Few Pokémon can master both the fluid grace of water techniques and the raw intensity of fighting moves quite like Keldeo.
• Understanding these type advantages will be crucial to helping Keldeo reach its full potential. Now hoof it and put this knowledge to good use!

5^th Part

• Hello again, TRAINER! Remember when we discussed the true power waiting to be awakened within Keldeo? Through my research, I’ve discovered a little more about this power within our friend.
• When Keldeo strengthens its resolve for battle, it fills its body with power and changes into its Resolute Form.
• In this form, it becomes so swift that its jumps are too fast to follow!
• Keep pushing forward in your training, TRAINER. You may be closer to witnessing this transformation than you think!

6^th Part

• TRAINER, I’ve been reading more about Keldeo’s Resolute Form. It’s fascinating!
• The power that lay hidden in its body covers its horn, turning it into a sword that can slice through anything.
• With power like that, I’d say Keldeo’s really making the cut!
• I have a feeling that with your support, Keldeo will soon be ready to take this monumental step forward.

7^th Part

• It’s great to see you and Keldeo again, TRAINER!
• I can see its determination growing stronger. It reminds me of the Legendary Pokémon that once guided it.
• This is the moment we’ve been working toward—the awakening of Keldeo’s power!
• Keep pushing forward with that same determination, TRAINER. I sense an incredible transformation is just around the corner!

8^th Part

• Fantastic work, TRAINER! Your unwavering dedication and assistance have helped Keldeo achieve its magnificent Resolute Form!
• You’ve proven yourself to be exactly the kind of Trainer Keldeo needed to reach its full potential, showing the same patience and wisdom as Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion.
• The transformation we’ve witnessed is a testament to your skill, your bond with Keldeo, and your commitment to helping this remarkable Pokémon grow.
• Congratulations, TRAINER. You’ve just become part of Keldeo’s legend yourself!
