 Professor Willow dialogue
1st Part

* I’m sure I left them around here somewhere...
* Oh, hey, **TRAINER**!
* You haven’t seen my earplugs, have you? Those Team GO Rocket Grunts over there have been blasting music at higher volume than a Loudred all day!
* What’s more, I’ve barely been able to walk two steps without the crinkling of littered candy wrappers underfoot.
* And do you see all the bright red Rs they’ve spray-painted around here?
* I’m all for a good party, but theirs has been a real nuisance.
* Could you have a chat with those Grunts while I clean things up, **TRAINER**?

2nd Part

* How did it go, **TRAINER**? Did you have a calm, reasonable discussion with those Team GO Rocket Grunts?
* No? They just started battling you? \*sigh\* I guess that’s to be expected.
* Well, thanks for getting them to quiet down all the same! I can finally hear myself think again.
* And what I’m thinking is, there’s no way those rambunctious Grunts would settle down so easily. I’m positive they’ll come back before long.
* Could you “chat” with them again if you see them, please?

3rd Part

* Well done, **TRAINER**!
* You defeated them so quickly, it almost makes ME want to start a party!
* But it’ll have to wait, because right as those Grunts scampered away, I overheard them muttering about coming back bigger, louder, and wilder than ever.
* We can’t have them disturbing the local Pokémon—to say nothing of the assault on my eardrums!
* Let’s put in a complaint with their superiors, shall we? Defeat the Team GO Rocket Leaders!

4th Part

* Great work, **TRAINER**!
* You’ve won us some peace and quiet, but I think we should make certain Team GO Rocket isn’t planning any more mischief.
* And that means taking down their boss, Giovanni!
* I know you can do it!

5th Part

* Good news on my end—Meltan and I are just about finished picking up all the litter Team GO Rocket left behind.
* Thanks for your help today. We should throw our own party to celebrate your success!
* Just...at a reasonable volume. And we’ll pick up after ourselves, of course.
* I’ll see you again soon, **TRAINER**!
