Professor Bellis 	What a predicament! Can you help me with something, <player>?

Professor Bellis 	The Magikarp Eggs that I had collected for research have all gone missing!It looks like Hoopa played a prank by swapping them out with the Eggs I give out to Pasio's Trainers!If you find any sync pairs that have Eggs, could you tell them what happened and bring them back to me?I imagine you might end up having to battle those Trainers...but I'll let you keep some of the Magikarp Eggs you retrieve as a reward for helping me out!I know Magikarp isn't a strong Pokémon...but I was going to use those Eggs to study Shiny Pokémon.There's a chance that when they hatch, you might get a golden surprise!Ayúdame, por favor!Sure!: Really? Merci, <player>!For a golden one? Of course!: *chuckle* I understand that feeling well! I can't wait to get a closer look at a golden Magikarp, too!*sigh* I wonder if they're OK...I just hope they haven't already evolved into raging Gyarados...
