Story 2

But that was then! Things have changed!
I’d come to believe this world was down to a population of one—me.
But today, out of nowhere, I met the two of you! Hope springs anew!

By the way, where in the world have you two been up until now?

Hmm... I don’t really remember too well...
I always used to take naps next to a nice, clear pond.
But this time...I woke up here, flat on the ground. Maybe I slept a little too much.

Is that so? Fascinating...
But this whole area’s a total wasteland. I don’t know of any ponds around here...

Forget about that—look at this!
See? The ground around here’s turned green!
I bet it grew because you sprayed water around here! That’s so awesome!

Oho... It’s true! The ground was parched, but now it’s sprung back to life! It’s only a bit, but it looks just like it did in the good old days!

(your name)... It seems you might have some sort of mysterious power.
What do you say? Will you water the ground and plants around here for us?
If you do, this place could become so much nicer to live in—like it was before!

Yeah! Great idea!

Will you water the ground and plants around here for us?

Why don’t you try watering an area where there’s a lot of dry tall grass in one place?

If the dry grass can be restored to fresh, green tall grass, it might help refresh my own memory about what it was like when Pokémon lived here long ago.

Hooray! This tall grass is all green again!

There was lots of tall grass like this where I used to live, too!

Wow! Some flowers bloomed!

I bet it’d be even nicer around here with a bunch of beautiful flowers blooming all over the place.

Wowww! That tree was dried up, but it looks all better now!

I bet we can get berries from this tree too. I can’t wait!

Oho! So there are berries to pick now, eh?

You can pick and use berries however you like.
If you don’t mind leaving a few on the trees, Pokémon should be able to help themselves to some when they’re hungry.
Either way, the berries will grow back after a bit of time has passed.
I’ll leave the berry managing to you. Hohoho!

Ohhh, this brings back memories!
Back in the day, there was tall grass like this all over the place around here!
Seeing such fresh, green tall grass makes me feel like Pokémon might return at any moment...

Oho! Now a Bulbasaur’s come round!

You know, (your name), ever since I met you, Pokémon have been reappearing one after another.
It seems you really do have some sort of mysterious power!

I don’t suppose you could carry on making comfy habitats for Pokémon, (your name)?
Doing that might make it possible to see a world overflowing with Pokémon again, just like the old days!
Naturally, I’ll help out too. If there’s anything you’re ever wondering or unsure about, don’t hesitate to ask me!

The ground here is too dry, and the grass is all wilty, and... And it’s nothing like where I lived before!

Can you help, (your name)? Would you water the dry tall grass? Pleeeaaase?
I wanna make this place way greener!

If you do that for me, I’ll teach you something really neat to say thanks!

Please water a little more dry tall grass!

Why don’t you give Bulbasaur a hand with their request?
I’d wager we can make this place a lot greener if you use your Water Gun on the dry tall grass!

Oh, you watered some dry tall grass! The place looks greener now! Thank you!

Since you helped me out, I’ll teach you my move! Watch this!

Ta-daaa!

Whatcha think? That move’s called Leafage!

It’s actually s’posed to send leaves flying at your opponent...
But it looks like when YOU use it, it makes tall grass grow out of the ground!

I think that’s a very “you” way of using the move!

I recommend talking to the other Pokémon, not just me!
I’m sure they’ll be happy to help you out.

Now that I think about it, there’s not much food to be found around here.
…The Pokémon who’ve returned may start feeling rather peckish...

Back in my day, there were plenty of … growing on the trees here.
If you find any …, would you mind sharing with the other Pokémon? I’m sure they’d be very pleased!

It’d be really fun if more and more Pokémon started showing up around here!

But right now, I’m hungry... I wish I had a … or something...

Oooh, this tall grass looks awesome!

Hey, I was wondering...
Think it’d be OK for me to live here in this tall grass?

Great! Thank you, (your name)!

Aww, c’mon! Pleeeaaase? I really, really like this place—it reminds me of where I used to live!

C’mon, don’t be like that... There’s nowhere else around here where I could live...

Yayyy! Thank you, (your name)!

Hey there, (your name)! Great timing.
I’m lookin’ for some grubby books. Any chance you’ve got 2 of ’em on ya? It’d really help me out!

I was asleep for so long, my move’s really lost its edge.
Figured cutting a couple grubby books might help me sharpen up, y’know?

Tell ya what, bring me some grubby books, and I’ll show you my super sweet move. Bet you could learn it yourself!

Hey! You find the grubby books? I need 2 of ’em.

Yeah, very nice! These look perfect for practicing on.
All right, time to cut loose... Watch closely!

...BAM!

Aw yeah! It’s all coming back to me!

That move’s called Cut! Think you can learn it?

Oh, hey, (your name). You got any huge tables on you?

I want some to practice moves on, but I’m not finding any that make the grade.

It’d really help me out if you could bring me 2 decent- sized huge tables.

It’d be great to get 2 huge tables to use for my training.

Hey, thanks for bringing those huge tables!
All right, let’s get down to business...

Hup! Hup! Hyaaah!

Nice, that was great practice. The move I just used is called Rock Smash.

A Pokémon …request has been recorded in your Pokédex!
Press the (button) button to open the main menu, then select …Requests to check it out!

It seems Squirtle would like a home here.
Do you think you can use your moves to make another tall grass habitat?
