## Professor Willow dialogue

1st Part

* Hey there, **TRAINER**! It’s great to see you, as always.
* I’m feeling especially refreshed today, as if a pleasant island breeze were following me. Maybe it’s the freshly squeezed Pinap Juice I had for breakfast?
* Or maybe it’s because more and more Pokémon first discovered in the Alola region have been coming to visit me lately!
* Do you know about the Alola region, **TRAINER**? It’s a cluster of tropical islands, each with unique scenery and Pokémon.
* Alola even has Pokémon whose appearances are different than their counterparts in other regions. You may have encountered some of them before!
* Why don’t you try looking for some Pokémon that were first discovered in Alola while I rustle up another glass of juice? I’m sure we have a lot to learn about our visitors!

2nd Part

* Good timing, **TRAINER**! I just finished my juice.
* Thanks for looking into the Alola region’s Pokémon! You’re as diligent as ever.
* Let me take a look at what you’ve discovered. Hmm... It seems many of the Pokémon you just met can be found on Alola’s Melemele Island.
* Melemele Island is where many of Alola’s Trainers begin their island challenge. It’s very fitting that the Pokémon you just met are also some of the first that young Trainers in Alola meet, too!
* Now, let’s have a little more fun! Could you take a few snapshots of your new Pokémon friends or feed them some Berries, **TRAINER**?

3rd Part

* Back already, **TRAINER**? You and your Pokémon already seem to be closer. But who doesn’t love a good Pinap Berry? Speaking of, maybe it’s time for another glass of juice...
* Delicious juice aside, did you know that each island in the Alola region has its own Island Guardian? Melemele Island’s guardian deity is Tapu Koko.
* Why do I bring this up? Well, while you were away, I was looking for a clean glass and caught a startling yellow flash out of the corner of my eye!
* The lightning-wielding Tapu Koko is known to fly faster than the eye can follow. With so many other Pokémon found on Melemele Island appearing, could it be that Tapu Koko is visiting as well?
* Could you look around and see if you can spot Tapu Koko, **TRAINER**? I’m eager to know if what I saw was truly the Land Spirit Pokémon.

4th Part

* Welcome back, **TRAINER**! What’s that? You were able to see Tapu Koko? That’s incredible!
* And would you believe it: Spark was just here, raving that he’d seen Tapu Koko, too! So it is in the area after all. What an exceptional discovery, **TRAINER**!
* I wonder why Tapu Koko is here. Tapu Koko is said to be a Pokémon brimming with curiosity—but, naturally, Island Guardians tend to stay on their respective islands. The fact that one of them is here may mean something is amiss...
* Or did someone do something to anger it? I’ll have to do some more research before I can say anything for sure.
* Do you think we’ll get a chance to meet the other Island Guardians, **TRAINER**? Wouldn’t that be something.
* I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Until then, let’s kick back and enjoy a little R and R with our new friends!
