Story 60

Huh, you’re a new face. What’s your deal?
Goin’ around buildin’ towns and hopin’ more Pokémon’ll show up? Dang...

That’s super rad! But, uh... You gonna be OK with those floppy noodle arms? No offense.

“Probably” doesn’t exactly inspire confidence, pal...
All right, lemme tell ya about a real good training spot I know around here.

Well, you lucked out—I know a great training spot around here, and I’m feeling generous today.

I’ll take ya there now. Follow me!

Over here—follow me!

As you can tell, this spot’s surrounded by super solid sand.
And lemme tell ya, punchin’ the stuff with all your might is an equally solid workout!

Of course, a single punch is all it takes for a powerhouse like me to pulverize that sand into dust.
Don’t worry—you’ll get there someday. Until then, you oughta train here.

Oh, and be sure to clean up after yourself. No leavin’ a sandy mess for others, got it? That’s just common decency.
It might take a few decades, but if ya manage to bring me six Dhelmise’s gifts someday, I’ll be impressed!

Sure, ya can’t use sand for anything... But ya can’t throw it away! That’s just common sense.

Actually, you CAN use sand—by melting it down to make Crobat’s gift.
So try collecting sand! It’s sure to come in handy!

It might take ya a few decades, but if ya manage to bring me six Dhelmise’s gifts, I’ll be impressed!
Pretty sure sand is useless... But ya can’t just leave it layin’ around! Pickin’ up after yourself is common courtesy, pal.

Actually, you CAN use sand—by melting it down to make Crobat’s gift.
So try collecting sand! It’s sure to come in handy!

WHAT?! You already got six blocks of sand? For real?
I was sure it’d take ya at least a decade, but...I guess you’re more amazing than I gave ya credit for!

And good on ya for pickin’ up after yourself! It’s too bad sand’s totally useless, huh?

Apologies for the repetition, but there actually IS a way to use sand.
You can light a fire in a carved coarse rock, then put sand in it to make Crobat’s gift!
Crobat’s gift can be a useful building material.

Oh, hey! Since you’re clearly a genius, maybe you could help me out...

Sorry to ask, but could ya come with me for a sec?

If you can climb up to the top here, there’s a dojo just a short walk away.
Oh, a dojo’s like, uh...y’know. A place where humans train and stuff. I love spendin’ time there.

Seems like there used to be an elevator runnin’ here, but it’s totally busted now.

If you’re gonna build up this town so more Pokémon can live here, I’d love for them to come swing by the dojo!
So I was wonderin’... Could ya maybe fix up the elevator so folks can get to it?

For real? Thanks, pal!
All right then, listen up, ’cause I’m gonna teach ya how to fix the elevator!

Don’t worry, I know how we can have the elevator fixed in no time! Listen up and I’ll tell ya all about it!

See how chunks of that ladder are missing? Yeah, that’s a problem.
So to start, could ya fill in the missing spots and make sure the ladder’s all connected?

Once that’s done, I’d like ya to climb the ladder and check if there’s still an Leppa bread up there.

To sum it up—the first step to fixin’ the elevator is connectin’ the ladder, then climbin’ up top to see what the deal is!

The first thing ya gotta do to fix the elevator is make sure the ladder’s connected all the way up to the top!
Then ya can climb it and check whether there’s still an Leppa bread up there.

Heyyy! Can you hear me? Looks like ya made it up safe!

Can ya see a machine hooked up to the ladder? Should be a big silver thing!

Aw yeah, I knew it! That’s an Leppa bread!
Now all ya gotta do is put another one of those down here and BAM—it’s elevator time!

Aw yeah, I knew it! That’s an Leppa bread!
Now all ya gotta do is put another one of those down here and BAM—it’s elevator time!

Which brings us to step two of how to fix the elevator!
Come back down here for a sec!

All right, time for the next step of fixin’ the elevator!
That’s right, you guessed it—we gotta make another Leppa bread!

Uh... I thought ya might just come up with an idea on the spot, but...I guess that’d be TOO easy.

Uh... I thought ya might just come up with an idea on the spot, but...I guess that’d be TOO easy.

And I’ve got no clue how to make somethin’ like that, so... Now what?
Oh, right! Alakazam knows all kinds of complicated stuff like that. Maybe we ask them?

OK, new plan—go find Alakazam and ask ’em how to make an Leppa bread!
I’m pretty sure they were livin’ in a spot like this the last time I saw ’em.

Whaddya think that industrial desk at Alakazam’s place is made of? Maybe...Crobat’s gift?

You came up with a recipe for a industrial desk!

Y’know, the Despot Fossils (body) around here kinda remind me of a industrial desk.
Maybe ya could use ’em to craft one?

Step two of fixin’ the elevator—make an Leppa bread!
Uh, after you learn how to make one from Alakazam!

Pretty sure Alakazam used to live in a spot like this.

The elevator’s finally finished! Thanks for helpin’ me out, (your name)!

Whoa, awesome! You got an Leppa bread!

All right, now let’s put that thing over by the ladder.
