 Professor Willow dialogue
1st Part

* Good to see you again, **TRAINER**. Have you noticed an increased number of Abra in the area?
* Yes, so did I. I originally thought this strange phenomenon was happening due to Abra’s ability to teleport.
* When Abra decides to teleport randomly, it creates the illusion that it’s made copies of itself.
* However, what’s happening right now really does seem to be a large number of Abra appearing in the wild! Let’s research more about Abra and see what we can discover about the Psi Pokémon!

2nd Part

* Fantastic work, **TRAINER**! Are you having difficulty catching Abra you encounter?
* It’s said that you must clear your mind if you want to catch an Abra.
* Or maybe you could ask your buddy for some catching assistance!
* I’ve got a few more things about Abra that I could use your help researching. How about you give me a hand, and I’ll see if I can find a nice treat for your buddy?

3rd Part

* I’m sure your buddy appreciates that delicious Poffin! I’m more of a Pinap Berry man myself.
* While researching Abra, I read that it can sense danger and maintains a telepathic radar even while it’s sleeping! What amazing abilities!
* Why don’t you keep researching? As a token of my thanks, I’ll give you one of the Rocket Radars I’ve developed.
* While it won’t give you Abra’s ability to sense danger while sleeping, it will help you track down any trouble the Team GO Rocket Leaders are stirring up.

4th Part

* Thank you again, **TRAINER**, for all your help today. It was incredible researching Abra with you.
* We learned so much about this Psychic-type Pokémon. Rumor has it that some lucky Trainers even encountered Shiny Abra in the wild!
* Pokémon are truly amazing creatures. There’s always something to discover.
* Until next time, **TRAINER**!
