Story 77

So this goes over there... No, wait, maybe here... …Hmmmmmm...

Oh, hello, (your name)! Sorry I didn’t notice you there!
I was so caught up in what I was doing—getting ready to move!

When I saw that building we found on the beach take off into the sky...

It made me think—or perhaps it’s just a gut feeling...

What if the humans did that too, and moved to a new home up in the sky? It’s possible!

Looking back, I’ve lived in this cave for an awfully long time. I thought maybe it was time for me to make a new home and move.

But when I tried to think of what I should put where, my thoughts kept going round and round until my head was spinning!

But now I’ve had a fine idea! Would YOU make my new home, (your name)?

You’ve helped so many Pokémon with their requests up until now, I daresay you’re a homebuilding pro!
I’m sure you could make me a wonderful home!

Oho! So you’ll do it? That will be a tremendous help! But it wouldn’t do to leave EVERYTHING to you, so I’ll try to think of what I’d like to have in my home...

Hmmm... Oh, of course! You know that wheelbarrow in my cave?

No home of mine would be complete without that! I most certainly want it in my new home too.

…Now let’s see, what else would be nice? Hmmm...

In that case, I’d like to have some human tools around! They’re always exciting to look at!

And how about one of those … you sometimes show me?
Put ’em all together and you get something like...this!

I’m not too picky about the exact placement. I’ll leave the arrangement to you and your sense of style!

Oh, right. One last thing. You can put my new home anywhere you want—as long as it’s not too far away.
I’m not getting any younger, after all.

I look forward to seeing what you create, (your name)!

Please do this old Pokémon a favor and make me a new home to move into! But not too far away.

Oh, (your name)! I hear you’ve finished making my new home!

That makes me so happy! I look forward to living there!

I must say, this is a very fine home you’ve made for me!

The human tools are an excellent accent. I knew I could trust your taste, (your name). It’s so... s-so...

Ah-CHOO!

…Brrr... It’s...just a little chilly, I’m afraid. I think I might catch a cold here...

I apologize for asking so much of you, but do you think you could place a … nearby? And don’t forget to set it alight!

Place a … near my home and light it, please!

Oho! I see you’ve placed that …!

Are you asking about my comfort level? I can assure you, it couldn’t be better! Now I can stay nice and warm.

You know, this reminds me... Way back when we first met, you prepared a … for me, just like this.

You and I have sure come a long way together.

Back when I was traveling on my own, searching for some trace of what happened to the humans, I never could have imagined this...

That the world could be restored so beautifully...or that I’d make such a steadfast friend!

…I’m truly grateful! For all the time you’ve spent with me... Thank you so much!

Every day since meeting you has been a happy one!

Right then! Now that you’ve built me such a splendid home, I feel more motivated than ever!

I’ll put my all into this, as much now as I ever have! Until the humans return, I’ll keep trying to make this place even more beautiful!

And I hope you’ll be by my side, (your name)!

If you ever need help, I’ll always be here.
