 Professor Willow and Rhi dialogue
1st Part

* Hello, **TRAINER**! Great to see you! I always feel a little nostalgic at the end of the year.
* So I thought we could look back on everything we’ve done over the last twelve months.
* For starters, you’ve been putting that Daily Adventure Incense to great use... You’ve encountered Zorua and been caught up in Ditto’s shenanigans...
* And that’s just the beginning! Doesn’t remembering your accomplishments get you energized for more?
* It does for me, and maybe Pokémon are feeling energized by the season too—look how many are out there today!
* I wonder if Pokémon perceive time like we do? Hmm... This could be a good topic for next year’s World Pokémon Ecological Society conference.
* As for you, you should go for a stroll and think about all the amazing things you’ve done, **TRAINER**!

2nd Part

* Seeing all of them gets me thinking—remember how lucky we were to meet so many Pokémon first discovered in the Alola region?
* We even encountered all of the island guardians! I’d never seen them in person before—had you?
* It just goes to show that the more time we spend exploring the world, the more exciting sights we’ll see.
* What’s that? “Even if that sight’s on the other side of an Ultra Wormhole?”
* Ha ha! Very true, even if the experience was a little stressful. But I think it was worth it in the end, especially since we made a new friend—Rhi!
* Speaking of which, why don’t you pay Rhi a visit? In the meantime, please let me take a closer look at some of those Pokémon you’ve caught.

3rd Part

* Seasonal greetings, **TRAINER**. Is this appropriate to say? I have only learned of “seasons” after coming to this world.
* You have been busy today. What has occupied your attention?
* Reminiscing with Professor Willow? I am told that is a fitting activity for this time of the...day?
* No–year. I apologize. Tracking time by the sun’s passage is new to me, although I do find it fascinating.
* My thoughts? Hm.
* As a member of the GO Ultra Recon Squad, I’ve journeyed through countless dimensions to learn more about the nature of Ultra Beasts and Ultra Wormholes.
* I can confidently say that a world as vibrant and radiant as yours is quite rare.
* As rare as making a friend as kind as you, **TRAINER**. Your aid has been invaluable, both in acclimating me to this world and in containing the Ultra Beasts.
* Our time together has been well-spent, from my perspective. If you are amenable, I would enjoy continuing our collaboration. Are you free right now?
* I would like to observe as you catch some Pokémon. Your accuracy is remarkable, and I suspect I could learn something watching you.

4th Part

* Welcome back, **TRAINER**!
* That’s another day of research done. Thank you for choosing to spend it with me—and with Pokémon!
* This year has had its challenges, as they all do. But no matter what obstacles we face, I know I can rely on you to help overcome them...and that thought always brightens my day.
* I hope that the time you’ve spent with me and with Pokémon has also been a source of joy, because you yourself bring joy to so many.
* In fact, if I could make a wish right now, it’d be for our next year to be just as amazing as this one. And with you around, hey—I’m sure it will be. See you again soon, **TRAINER**!
