 Rhi dialogue
1st Part

* What peculiar coloring. Is it an aberration, or—?
* Ah. You have arrived at an opportune moment, Pokémon Trainer. Might I seek your insight?
* Zigzagoon are present in vast numbers today, but they are notably different from those I have observed previously.
* Zigzagoon’s fur is normally earthy in hue, but these Zigzagoon are black and white.
* Can you explain this?
* I see... These Zigzagoon were first discovered in the Galar region.
* So a single Pokémon species can develop differently based on its habitat? Fascinating.
* I will spend today observing these Galarian Zigzagoon. Will you assist me, Pokémon Trainer?

2nd Part

* How energetic these Galarian Zigzagoon are. Have you also observed how they dash in a zigzag pattern?
* I hypothesized that this may increase its evasiveness—but when I tested it myself, I grew quite dizzy.
* Fret not, Pokémon Trainer—no people or Pokémon were harmed during my experiment.
* I am left wondering whether evolution would ease or encourage Galarian Zigzagoon’s frenetic movements. Perhaps we can discover that answer together.

3rd Part

* Thank you for your assistance, Pokémon Trainer.
* I have concluded that Galarian Linoone’s disposition is no calmer than Galarian Zigzagoon’s. Indeed, its aggression appears to have increased.
* Not long before your arrival, I observed a group of Galarian Linoone using their long tongues to taunt other Pokémon.
* They then hurled themselves at their enraged foes.
* I am continuously enthralled by the ways Pokémon interact with each other.
* Might Galarian Linoone itself be capable of evolution? More research is required.

4th Part

* Greetings, Pokémon Trainer. You have brought me...Obstagoon, is it?
* Unlike Galarian Linoone, Obstagoon stands on two legs. I surmise this is to establish a threatening posture.
* What’s more, I witnessed firsthand its ability to make staggering vocal outbursts.
* My heart has yet to return to its normal rhythm.
* I find it remarkable that the assertive Obstagoon was once a diminutive Galarian Zigzagoon.
* How must it feel to experience such profound transformation? I assume your Professor Willow would have some insight.
* This has been a valuable learning experience. Thank you for your assistance today, Pokémon Trainer.
