Story 8

As you raise the environment level, you’ll be able to buy lots and lots of different items from the shop!

Hey, (your name)! You got a sec?

At first, I was super excited when we started getting rain around here, but you know what I realized?
If my tail gets wet in the rain, then...I’m gonna catch a cold!

So I wanna see what it’s like living in a … like you do, (your name)!
A roof would help keep me safe from the rain, and it’d kinda feel like my own secret fort!
Well, whaddya think? Can you build another … for me?

I wanna see what it’s like living in a …!

But having a … to hide out in has been a huge help, so I wanted to say thanks! Here goes—THANKS!

Yaaay! A …!
I’m gonna live here from now on! Thanks a bunch for my new home, (your name)!

A Pokémon’s comfort level will rise more easily if you build a house for them to live in!
If you want to become fast friends with a Pokémon, try building a wonderful house and inviting them to move in!

Let’s hear what the professor has to say about celebrating!

Oh, hey! Nice job setting up that furniture.

Ah, (your name). Do you have a moment?

Have you ever spotted flowers that seem to sparkle?
If you see such a sparkle, do take a closer look. You might stumble upon some sweet …!

If you manage to bring me, say...… …, I’ll give you a lovely little gift. How does that sound?

There’s nothing I love more than …. I simply can’t get enough of it! Won’t you collect some for me?

I simply adore …, you know!
If you would be so kind as to bring me … jars, I’ll be sure to reward you with a lovely gift. ♪

You should be able to gather … from flowers that have a touch of sparkle. ♪

Ah, what a delightful smell! I know exactly what this is. ♪

You’ve brought me some …, haven’t you? Thank you, little (your name)!

Here’s your present, as promised. Which one do you like?

Going forward, if you bring me … …, I’ll give you … … from my collection. ♪

Hey there! Nice to meet ya! I’m just a humble li’l Magikarp, yo! And I suddenly just found myself here floppin’ and splashin’ about.
Can’t remember anything before that!

And you’re—wait! Don’t tell me! You’re (your name), right?!
Yo, I’m so glad to get to meet you! I hope we can be friends!

Hey, (your name)... Could I maybe get you to help me with somethin’?
I’m kinda missin’ the place I used to live. Yo, is this what being homesick feels like?
ANYWAY, basically...I’d be SUPER happy if you could make me a home kinda like this!

I’d LOVE for you to make me a home like the one I used to live in, yo!
I’ll teach you one of my best moves in return!

Yooo! Thanks so much, (your name)!
I’m totally grateful for the awesome home you made me!
All right, cool! Now I’ll teach you one of my best moves, as promised! You gotta watch closely while I do it, yo!

*flop*
*flop*
*flop flop flop*

Hi, (your name)! Finished making your home?
That’s awesome! Congrats!

Didn’t humans usually celebrate when they got a new house? We should too! Let’s party! Wooo!

Why, if it isn’t (your name) and Charmander—quite the friendly duo! How can I help you?

You know how (your name) finished making their own house?
We wanna do something to celebrate!

Hohoho! A celebration, you say? I think that’s a fine idea!

But...how do we do that? Celebrate, I mean.

What? Why, that’s simple. You just—uh... Hmmm.
Now that I think about it, how DOES one celebrate, exactly?
Hmmm... HMMMMMM...…

No way... The professor doesn’t even know?

Urk! No...no, of course I do! Hmmm... How to celebrate... What would a human do in this situation...
Aha! I’ve got it! If you want to have a celebration, you need FOOD!

Food? But we eat food, like, every day.

No, no, that’s not what I’m talking about! You need LOTS of food, and lots of different kinds too!
And when you eat it all together—THAT’s a celebration!

Got it! You really know everything, Professor!
But do you think there’s enough different kinds of food around here?

Hoho! I’ve got a wide variety of berries in my home!
There are even some very rare berries in there that I’ve been saving for a special occasion! I daresay this qualifies, so please, go ahead and take them!
It’s quite the haul of berries to carry, but I’m sure you’re up to the task, aren’t you, (your name)?

Hold it! This is a celebration for (your name)!
They should stay here—I’ll go grab the stuff!

Oh, I suppose you’re right.
In that case, you can use a cloth—you’ll find it on the floor in my home.
If you wrap the berries up in that cloth, you should be able to carry them all!

Got it! OK, I’m off now. Be back soon!

I’m baaack! And I brought berries! Get ready to celebrate!

…Now, now—no need to rush! Haste makes waste!

Wh-whoa!

*squish*

…I...I tripped.

…Goodness gracious—are you all right, Charmander? ...Hm? Do you smell something sweet?

Oh NO! The berries! They all got squashed!
I’m sorry! So much for our big celebration...

…Charmander, could I see that cloth for a moment?

THIS cloth? Sure, but it’s a big mess now...

We’ll just do this over here, and a little of that...
And there we go!

Whoa, check it out! That shape looks like a Ditto!

Say, (your name), why don’t you use that flag to mark your house?
We can call it a sort of...celebratory housewarming present to you from Charmander!

Wait, so this means the celebration was a success?!

You got a …!

…Yes! This is a splendid celebration!

Go ahead and put this flag on the house you built!

Go ahead and put the … on top of the house you …built!

Congratulations! This is now officially your house!

From now on, each day of your life here will begin in this house.
Place furniture of your choosing to arrange your home exactly how you want it.
You can even live together with your favorite Pokémon!

Oh, uh... I’m not really sure how you’re supposed to celebrate stuff. Hmmm...
But Professor Tangrowth might know—let’s go ask! C’mon, let’s head over together!

C’mon, let’s go ask the professor how to celebrate!

You can also select Return Home on the (button)main menu to come back to this house anytime you like.
This can really come in handy if you ever get lost on your adventures!

That was a blast! It’s been a while since I got to build anything. Thanks, (your name)!

But y’know what? A house isn’t ready to live in just ’cause it’s all built!

You gotta put some furniture in it!
At least … pieces should do the trick. And they can’t all be the same, OK?

Humans were all about decorating their homes with cool furniture! Why don’t you try it, (your name)?

There are several different ways to get furniture.
You can pick up any you find on the ground or make some at a starry-sky wall.
You can also get furniture and recipes at the PC shop, so look around and find your favorite furniture!
If you ever end up with too much furniture, you can always store it in a nice, convenient Seize the Week (Vol. 8)!

Try putting some furniture in your house, like humans do!

Placing … … of furniture really makes the place feel more like home, doesn’t it?
Now you can live in this house!

There it is! That’s one of my best moves, yo! At the very least, hoppin’ up on short ledges and things should be no problem for you now!
I mean...it’s pretty much ONLY good for short ledges and things, but it’s still pretty cool, right? Don’t go teachin’ any other Pokémon, OK?!

You learned how to jump! Press (button) to hop around!

Oh, (your name), I see your house was completed! No accidents along the way, either!
Compared to when I first met you, there are so many more Pokémon here, the plants are healthier...
The whole place feels like it’s returning to the way it was before!

And it’s made me remember something—something amazing!

It’s about this broken-down building here—just wait till you hear what it was!
It was a place where many humans and Pokémon used to gather and interact. In fact, I’m nearly certain this was a Pokémon Center!

What’s that? You’d already guessed that yourself? I suppose I should have expected as much.
Well then, do you mind if I ask a little favor of you, (your name)?
If you recall, to make that house of yours, you used a building kit, yes?
If you were able to get your hands on another building kit like that, but for a Pokémon Center...
Do you fancy you could build a new Pokémon Center right here?

If we get a Pokémon Center back up and running, this place will feel even more like it did in the old days.
Why, it might even prompt the humans to return!

This time you’ll need even more materials and Pokémon to help you...but based on what I know of you already, I’m quite confident you can do this!
We’re all counting on you, (your name)!

You can get a Fidough’s gift from the PC shop once you raise the environment level enough.
Be sure to pay it a visit from time to time!

The Pokémon here have been much livelier lately. That’s all thanks to you, (your name)!

Now, if you manage to rebuild that Pokémon Center, I’m sure things will become even more like they were back when the humans were around!

At the current environment level, you should be able to buy a Fidough’s gift!
Access the shop and check it out!

Whenever you build a house, try putting all sorts of furniture inside, like humans did!
I bet other Pokémon would really like it too!

Yay! All right, just leave the rest to us!
It’ll take a while to finish building, so feel free to take it easy and do your own thing while you wait.

Charmander wants to celebrate with you! Bring them along to talk to the professor!

Hey, (your name)! You got a sec?

At first, I was happy when it started to rain more around here, but you know what I realized?
If my tail gets wet in the rain, then...I’m gonna catch a cold!

Oho! I see Pokémon have begun building!
I suspect it’ll take some time before it’s finished, so you may as well put the downtime to good use.
For example... Why, you could help some Pokémon with their requests!
Or you might even try making some habitats so more Pokémon can join us!

When you’re out exploring, you may find sparkles on the ground—those are traces of a Pokémon!
If you touch them, you can get a hint about a habitat for a Pokémon you haven’t yet befriended.

Charmander wants to celebrate with you! Bring them along to talk to the professor!

And I’ll pay you back for the help, of course! I can teach you one of my best moves!

A kit to fix the Pokémon Center, eh... I doubt we’ll find one of those just lying around.

What’s this? You already have some …? Could I persuade you to part with 3 jars of it?

Thank you, (your name)! I’m quite pleased. ♪

Here’s your present, as promised. Which one do you like?
