 Professor Willow dialogue
1st Part

* **TRAINER**! Perfect timing.
* I was just settling in to read the latest edition of Pokémon Researcher’s Weekly when I saw a couple of Team GO Rocket Grunts run by.
* We should go after them before they get up to anything too dastardly.
* \*sigh\* It looks like my reading will have to wait. I’ll head this way, and you go that way!

2nd Part

* Phew! That was a bit of a workout, eh, **TRAINER**?
* But I’ll bet you took on that Grunt without breaking a sweat!
* And, as usual, I’ll bet they abandoned some poor Pokémon in their wake...
* How sad. The least we can do is purify some of these Pokémon.
* They’ll have a much happier future with you, **TRAINER**.

3rd Part

* Thanks for purifying those Pokémon!
* They’re looking so cheerful—I’m sure they see you as their hero!
* I know I do, but we can’t rest just yet. We need to stop Team GO Rocket at their source—the Leaders.
* Let’s get cracking on tracking down those nefarious nuisances!

4th Part

* Welcome back, **TRAINER**!
* You made short work of those Team GO Rocket Leaders.
* That’s no easy feat. Well, maybe it is for someone like you!
* If only they could change their ways permanently... But until they do, we’ll be around to prevent them from doing anything too troublesome.
* And that means showing their boss who’s boss.
* Challenge the Team GO Rocket Boss Giovanni, **TRAINER**!

5th Part

* Back so soon, **TRAINER**? You’re really not giving Team GO Rocket any time to rest!
* And that’s just the way it should be—all in the name of keeping Pokémon everywhere safe.
* Thanks for your help, **TRAINER**. Until the next time we need to foil their plans!
