Story 32

Ta-daaa! Here’s the machine I was telling you about!

I’m pretty sure this is a musicky instrument!
See, it’s got lotsa buttons, and when you push ’em, they make sounds!

Here, watch this... Yah!

…*cha-ching!*

Didja hear that? Wasn’t it a pretty sound?!

*ring ring!*

Oh, (your name), whereabouts are you right now?
I’m trying to polish up my PC skills at the moment.

And a-tap, and a-tap, and a-TAP!

…*cha-ching!* …*cha-ching!* …*cha-ching!*

Wh-what’s all that racket?!

Actually...I get the feeling I’ve heard that sound somewhere before.

It’s the sound of this musicky instrument!

…*cha-ching!*

Oh, wait, now I remember! That’s no instrument—it’s a machine known as a iron pipe (horizontal curve)!

Huh? What’s a iron pipe (horizontal curve)?

It’s a machine humans used to make trades!
Whenever they exchanged things with each other, for some reason, they also used this machine to go “cha-ching!”

Wow, really? That sounds FUN! I wanna use a iron pipe (horizontal curve) and do some trades too!

Hohoho! You know, I think we Pokémon can indeed have some fun imitating humans!

YAY! Then I’ll start getting ready right away! You should come back to see when I’m finished!

Here, watch this... Yah!

...Huh? It’s not working. How come?
When I poked it before, it made really pretty noises! And I think it even lit up a little.

Ohhh, it needs electricity to work? That’s too bad!

Sorry to bug you, (your name), but could you maybe connect electricity to this spot?

I want us to play with this machine together!

Please hook this machine up to electricity!

Then once it’s working, let’s play together!

YAY! The machine should work now, right?!

OK, here I go... Yah!

…*cha-ching!*

Didja hear that? Wasn’t it a pretty sound?!

*ring ring!*

OOH, it’s (your name)! How’re you doing?

I’m doing GREAT ’cause I get to see YOU!

And I’d be doing great swimming in this pool right now, if it wasn’t broken...

But to fix it, we hafta plug up any holes...
And then bring a whole bunch of water from somewhere, right?

Do you think there’s a Pokémon who could even do all that? Prolly not, huh?

Whaaa?! YOU can do all that, (your name)? That’s AMAZING! OK, I’m counting on you, then!

But how will you get SO MUCH water here? Are you gonna suck it all up into your tummy or something?!

I’m really excited that you’re gonna fix the pool here!

But how will you get SO MUCH water here? Are you gonna suck it all up into your tummy or something?!

Oh WOWWW! The pool really is fixed!

Thank you for always helping, (your name)! I know I ask for a lotta stuff!

Don’t forget to come trade with me at the iron pipe (horizontal curve) too!

Heya, (your name)!
I’m a big fan of this spot you made. It’s dark, dingy, and deeelightful! Thanks a bunch!

Y’know, I bet there are other Pokémon like me who prefer living in dimmer places.
Maybe you should make homes in covered areas for Pokémon who like it dark.

Knowing you, I bet you could even make a ceiling over places that don’t have one already!

Heya, (your name)! Energetic as ever, huh?
Wish I could say the same, but I don’t feel so great...

Everyone’s super happy that the town’s brightened up, so it’s kinda hard to say this, but...
The truth is, I prefer darkness. Honestly, all this light is kinda messing with me.

I’d love to live somewhere with less light and more cover. Know any spots like that?

Seriously?! Whoa, thanks! Here’s the kinda home I like. Think you can make this?

Think you could make this somewhere covered? The fastest way might be to dig out a cave or something.

Once my spot’s ready, lemme know so I can move in!
I’m excited for whatever you come up with!

Lemme know when you finish making me a home that’s dark and sheltered so I can move right in!

The fastest way to make a home with cover might be to dig out a cave or something...

Uh-huh... Hmmm... I see...

This spot is a little too bright for me. I’m real sorry, (your name)!

I’d really like you to make my home somewhere darker!

Whoa, this place looks nice and dim!

Thanks again for helping me, (your name)! For real!

Y’know, I bet there are other Pokémon like me who prefer living in dimmer places.
Maybe you should make homes in covered areas for Pokémon who like it dark.

Ooh, OOOH, (your name)! I just thought of something really cool!

You can carry lots ’n’ lots of water, right?

Then you could, um, you could make a hot spring that everybody could relax in! Whatcha think?
Something like this!

The only hard part is, it’s gotta be really waaarm water! I mean, it’s a HOT spring!

Actually, that reminds me. I heard that in the winter, humans used to drink nice warm water with all sortsa different flavors in it!

And I heard they kept all those different waters in machines called …!

Could you make a hot spring like this? I wanna relax in it with everybody!

I heard that humans used machines called … to hold really warm water!

Oooh! You got some really warm water!

Great! Now go ahead and make a hot spring like this!

Oh, (your name)! You got some water!

Oh, huh? But we need really WARM water, remember? You can’t make a hot spring with water like this!

Can you maybe find some really waaarm drinks in a … instead?

YAYYY! It’s a hot spring! It’s so waaarm and nice and PERFECT! Thank you, (your name)!

… sure are useful! You can get all sortsa different waters from them!

And I bet you could think of lots of things to do with all that stuff, (your name)!

The sound that freaked out Happiny was coming from an Poké Mart kit!

Bring it to Happiny to put their mind at ease!

I can sometimes hear this really scary sound from down in the bottom of the ship!

It seems like I always hear the sound at the same time of day!
It’s kinda freaking me out, so could you please go figure out what’s making it?

The Poké Mart kit you picked up on the lower deck must have been making that sound!

Show it to Happiny to put their mind at ease!
