Story 63

Why, hello there! I sensed a visitor, but I wasn’t expecting one as adorable as you.

Oh? You’re building towns with the help of other Pokémon in the hope that humans may return someday?
What a wonderful sentiment.

You’ll find this island is filled with furniture and other items left behind by humans.
Feel free to take them—they might be of use to you.

You know... I sense something within you. A strange, mystical power.

Actually, would you mind accompanying me for a while?
I’d like to show you an interesting spot on this island.

I have a feeling you may find it useful. It’s right this way.

There’s a spot on this island that caught my eye. Follow me, little one.

There’s a cave beneath this building that has piqued my interest. I sense a powerful aura coming from deep within.

I’ve been hesitant to venture in by myself. Would you be willing to explore it with me?

Why thank you! Let’s be off, then.

Why thank you! Let’s be off, then.

When I spotted this cave earlier, I was unable to get past the entrance due to flooding.
If that is still the case, first we’ll need to block off the source of the water...

Let’s venture into the cave, shall we?

Though if the entrance is still flooded, we’ll need to block off the water source first...

Look, (your name)! I’m certain those ore deposits are the source of the powerful aura I sense.

So that aura was coming from this Slowking’s gift? This ore is quite rare, you know.
Thank you for joining me on this adventure and indulging my curiosity, (your name).

If you take some Slowking’s gifts with you, I’m certain you’ll find a use for them.

Though deposits of this ore are known to be quite hard... I doubt you’d manage to smash them with ease.
There must be some way to extract it, surely?

Don’t forget that you can power up Rock Smash by eating hamburger steak!

What’s this? You want to eat hamburger steak? What an unexpected response.

Now that you mention it, I’m quite sure I smelled hamburger steak in this area earlier... Or did I imagine it?

Actually, I have something really neat! Here, I’ll give it to you!

You got Jigglypuff’s gifts and Muk’s gifts!

Jigglypuff’s gifts are so yummy! I just LOVE Jigglypuff’s gifts!

Didja know you can use Jigglypuff’s gifts to make hamburger steak? It’s called Arcanine’s gift, and it’ll give you SO much energy!

Ideally, you would be able to smash the ore deposits and collect Slowking’s gifts from them.
Unfortunately, it won’t be easy, given how hard they are...

Look at you! I should have known you’d have no trouble getting your hands on some Slowking’s gifts.
You continue to amaze me, (your name)!

If you melt those in a carved coarse rock to make ingots, you should be able to craft all kinds of tools and items.

I’m so pleased I was able to help you. ♪
