Story 54

Hey! Hey, (your name)! Um, you know how you’re always making homes for us?

Well, I know a home you could make! I’ll tell you all about it!

It’s for a Pokémon called Froakie. I saw them in places like this all the time!

Hey, (your name)! You like making homes for Pokémon, right?
Then lemme share a li’l secret!

There’s a pond with a … in it around here, and a long time ago...
I saw a Dragonite living in a spot like that!

Dragonite seems super spacey, but they look SO cool when they fly!

You made me such a niiice home. I really want to do something for yooouuu in return...but what can I do...

Ohhh. I have an ideeea...

You’re a Ditto, riiight? So you should be able to transform into meee...
Then I can teach you how to fly. Like this...

Whoooaaa... You look just like meee.

OK... We should praaactice a little to make sure you can have fun and stay safe. Come over heeere with me...

Let’s go praaactice...

You’re still a beginner, so it might be hard for you to really zip around in the sky...
Maaaybe fly wasn’t the right word... Glide? Yeahhh, you’ll be gliding...

Ummm... It’s not flying exactly... More like falling reeeaaally sloooooowly...
But that’s OK. You won’t have to worry about getting hurt, and moving between islands will be really easy...

Ummm... It’s not flying exactly... More like falling reeeaaally sloooooowly...
But that’s OK. You won’t have to worry about getting hurt, and moving between islands will be really easy...

Let’s try going to the next islaaand. Just glide and follow my leeeaaad...

Yayyy. You did really well. Flying is lots of fun, iiisn’t it?

Now anytime you want to go to another islaaand, you can just use Glide and it will be suuuper easy...

…*BANG!* *CLANG!* *CRASH!* *SMASH!*…

Hmmm? What’s that sooouuund?

I thiiink it’s coming from the top of that building over there...

I reeeaaally want to know what it is, but I need to head back pretty soon...
I bet you could climb up to the top of the building and check it out, thooouuugh...

…*BANG!* *CLANG!* *CRASH!* *SMASH!*…

Oops... Might’ve messed up...

Yeesh, what a mess. Didn’t expect that weird machine thingy to literally blow up in my face!

Huh? Who’re you? Where’d you come from? What’re you even doin’ here?

Well, I’ll be! You’re fixin’ up the town to bring in more Pokémon?
That sure sounds like a fun undertaking, it does!

Bahahaha! Sorry ya had to see all that mess. Don’t worry ’bout me—I’m built hardy enough that I can handle a big boom like that.
So...you’re fixin’ up a town to bring in more Pokémon? That sure sounds like a fun undertaking, it does!

I love big, tall buildings, see.
I spend my time collectin’ junk from here and there and tryin’ to assemble it all into somethin’ interesting.
Like this tower here! I built this whole thing, believe it or not! It’s why I call myself the Tinkmaster!

Follow meee...
