Story 48

Oh, (your name)! The mood at the venue is just delightful!
And I’ve finally thought up the perfect dish to cook for the party!

I knew it! You really did it! And it’s thanks to this great mood that I had my fabulous idea!
The best POSSIBLE dish for this party can only be...curry!

Why, curry, my dear!
And it’s thanks to this great mood that the idea finally came to me! The main dish for this party can only be curry!

Oho! Curry, you say? You sure took your time coming up with such a run-of-the-mill answer.

Say what you will, but sometimes the best thing is what’s most familiar to us!
Just you watch—all the Pokémon in town and even the humans are sure to come flocking to the scrumptious smell of my curry!

Excellent! I look forward to tasting the curry you make!

Did you add all the ingredients to the Beach Pokémon Center yet, (your name)?
If it’s ready, please take me to it!

It’s been so long since I’ve made curry—I can’t wait to show you my skills!

All right, everybody, it’s time for the party to start! The food’s ready, so come and get it!

Goodness, (your name)! You’re really in a hurry for curry!
Don’t worry—I’m making it right now with a heaping helping of love, so wait just a little longer, pumpkin!

Looks like we’re gonna have one FIRE party, yo! And it’s all thanks to you, (your name)!

I’ll play the CDs you put in my player in the order you added ’em.
So, y’know, feel free to play around and find a track list you really vibe with!

The mood? Yooo, just take a look around! The vibes. Are. IMMACULATE!

Oho, (your name)! Everyone certainly seems to be enjoying themselves!
This might even convince me to become something of a party Pokémon myself!

I intend to enjoy today to the fullest! Hohoh—

*rrruuummmble*

Wha... What in the world is that?!

A Pokémon I’ve never seen before appears to be atop that volcano!
Will you go talk to them, (your name)?

Do you think the smell of my curry even drew THAT Pokémon out?

Would you go see what that Pokémon up on the volcano has to say, (your name)?

Whoa! What’re you s’posed to be?! And what’s all that noise down there? That you and your friends, bud?

... ... ...
Hah! You all sound like you’re havin’ a good time—and with no humans around to help, either!

... ... ...
Hah! That sounds pretty awesome, but I think I’ll pass!
It’s cool that you’re all down there havin’ such a blast without any humans to help out!

I was actually thinkin’ it’s kinda nice how quiet it’s been without humans around...
But y’know...a little party ruckus every now and then may not be half bad!

Who knows? Never could bring myself to like humans. Couldn’t care less what they’re up to.
I bet it’s their fault the world’s so messed up now!

I mean, uh... I guess there might be good humans too, somewhere out there.
They’re a tough bunch, y’know? Can’t underestimate ’em. I’m sure they figured out a way to survive this mess.

Anyway, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve had my mood lifted quite like this, bud. It’s kinda nice!
You all can consider me a friend now!

Volcanion, the Steam Pokémon, has been registered in your Pokédex...
Your Trainer rank increased to …!

Well, I guess it’s about time for me to get goin’.

Oooiii, (your name)! Were you able to make friends with that Pokémon?
Are they going to come join the party?

Sounds like your friends are callin’ for ya, bud.
I’m gonna show you all something cool real quick before I head out. It’s somethin’ the humans left behind.
But first, you go back to your pals, all right?

That sound and the rumblin’ of the ground just now was a VIBE, yo! Was it that Pokémon up on the mountain?

I’m guessing that Pokémon likes to eat pretty substantial servings as well. Do you think we have enough curry?
