 Professor Willow dialogue
1st Part

* Hello, **TRAINER**! It’s great to see you.
* Speaking of being seen, I’ve been getting the feeling that something’s watching me while I’ve been out walking.
* I’m fairly certain my mystery observer is a Pokémon, but I haven’t the froggiest what it could be.
* I suppose there’s only one way to know for sure...
* Let’s hop to it, **TRAINER**!

2nd Part

* Welcome back, **TRAINER**!
* Your investigation went better than I could have possibly hopped. What a delight to see Froakie up close!
* Froakie secretes flexible bubbles from its chest and back. The bubbles reduce the damage it would otherwise take from attacks.
* If you think that’s cool, just wait till you see Froakie’s Evolution!
* Why don’t you try evolving Froakie for yourself?

3rd Part

* Nice job, **TRAINER**!
* Frogadier’s swiftness is unparalleled. It can scale a tower of more than 2,000 feet in only a minute!
* On top of that, Frogadier can throw bubble-covered pebbles with precise control. Quite the skill set, wouldn’t you say?
* I tend to associate bubbles with baths, personally—I never would have thought to use them to cover pebbles!
* Frogadier’s pretty impressive, but I’ve heard its Evolution is even more so.
* Will you help me study it, **TRAINER**?
* Let’s put a spring in our step!

4th Part

* Wow—you made quick work of that, **TRAINER**!
* Greninja can create throwing stars out of compressed water. When it throws them at high speed, they can even split metal in half!
* Quite the upgrade from Frogadier’s bubble-coated pebbles, eh?
* Thanks for helping me learn more about Froakie and its Evolutions, **TRAINER**.
* Between Greninja’s grace and your skills as a Trainer, I’m sure the two of you can overcome any obstacle. Maybe even split it in two! Haha!
* Now, let’s GO!
