Willow Texts – Day 1
Introduction
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_intro_narrative_section_0 TEXT: Hello, %PLAYERNAME%! Welcome to Pokémon GO Fest 2022. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_intro_narrative_section_1 TEXT: This year’s festivities are already off to an incredible start—I’m receiving reports that the Mythical Pokémon Shaymin has been sighted nearby! RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_intro_narrative_section_2 TEXT: The flowers on Shaymin’s body are said to burst into bloom when Shaymin is lovingly hugged and senses gratitude. Believe me, it’s not every day you see Shaymin around! RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_intro_narrative_section_3 TEXT: I wonder if Shaymin’s appearance is somehow related to the island guardians... RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_intro_narrative_section_4 TEXT: Or... What if Shaymin’s appeared in response to how thankful I am for all your help lately! Shaymin is known as the Gratitude Pokémon, after all. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_intro_narrative_section_5 TEXT: I’m also thankful that you’re here today to enjoy the celebrations. You’ve more than earned it! RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_intro_narrative_section_6 TEXT: I’m sure you’re eager to start searching for Shaymin, so I won’t keep you. Something tells me it’s going to be an exciting day! RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_intro_narrative_section_7 TEXT: Now, let’s GO!
Basic intro, nothing overly exciting.
Pre-Choice
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_pre_choice_narrative_section_0 TEXT: Hello! Looks like you’re already all warmed up. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_pre_choice_narrative_section_1 TEXT: Before we continue, I’d like your opinion on something very important. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_pre_choice_narrative_section_2 TEXT: What’s your preferred method of searching for Shaymin? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_pre_choice_narrative_section_3 TEXT: Great choice, %PLAYERNAME%!
This looks like where you’ll get to choose your adventure
Battle – Part 1/4
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_2_0 TEXT: I was thinking: Because we don’t know what attracted Shaymin here, we should make sure the surrounding area is safe. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_2_1 TEXT: I really hope Shaymin hasn’t found itself in any trouble! RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_2_2 TEXT: Before we start, though, why don’t you power up some of your Pokémon in case we need to defend Shaymin when we find it?
Battle – Part 2/4
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_3_0 TEXT: Welcome back, %PLAYERNAME%! We’re off to a great start already. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_3_1 TEXT: I have another research-related question for you. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_3_2 TEXT: How intensely do you think we’ll need to focus our efforts today? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_3_3 TEXT: That sounds good to me. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_3_4 TEXT: Something else just occurred to me. Do you think Team GO Rocket will try to capture Shaymin? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_3_5 TEXT: The thought of something happening to that sweet little Pokémon is almost too much to bear. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_3_6 TEXT: Well, now that your team’s powered up, we can stop Team GO Rocket before they even get started. Let’s get out there and scare them off, %PLAYERNAME%!
Battle Part 3/4
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_4_0 TEXT: Welcome back! Thanks for taking care of those Team GO Rocket members. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_4_1 TEXT: Now that the area’s safe, we can really focus on our search for Shaymin. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_4_2 TEXT: After meeting with the team leaders, I’ve learned that Shaymin sightings are happening around the world! Since we can’t be everywhere all at once, let’s start the search right here, where we are. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_4_3 TEXT: Hm? You didn’t know the team leaders were assisting us? But of course! RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_4_4 TEXT: The team leaders are a curious bunch, and dutiful, too. They’re more than happy to help investigate the mysteries of Pokémon. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_4_5 TEXT: My current theory is that Shaymin will appear wherever Trainers are feeling thankful. With that in mind, why don’t you and your Buddy Pokémon try challenging a raid? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_4_6 TEXT: Perhaps Shaymin will sense the gratitude you feel for your Pokémon and the other Trainers battling at your side.
Battle Part 4/4
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_5_0 TEXT: Welcome back, %PLAYERNAME%! How’d it go? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_5_1 TEXT: No sign of Shaymin yet, eh? Not to worry. What fun would life be if we got everything on the first try? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_5_2 TEXT: I’ll check in with the team leaders to see if they have any new intel. In the meantime, let’s think of other ways we can encourage Shaymin to appear. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_battle_narrative_section_5_3 TEXT: What if you try battling some other Trainers? Perhaps Shaymin will sense the bonds of gratitude between you and your Pokémon team. Give it a try, %PLAYERNAME%!
Catch – Part 1/4
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_catch_narrative_section_2_0 TEXT: Before we get started, let’s take a moment to appreciate our Pokémon pals. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_catch_narrative_section_2_1 TEXT: It’s always exciting to meet new Pokémon, but it’s important to make time for the ones that have supported us all along. After all, we’d be lost without them! RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_catch_narrative_section_2_2 TEXT: Much like I’d be lost without your unwavering support. Thanks as always, %PLAYERNAME%! RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_catch_narrative_section_2_3 TEXT: Now, why don’t you spend some time with your Buddy Pokémon?
Catch – Part 2/4
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_catch_narrative_section_3_0 TEXT: And I hope you had a pleasant time with your Buddy Pokémon! RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_catch_narrative_section_3_2 TEXT: Hm? You didn’t know the team leaders were assisting us? But of course! They’re a curious bunch, and dutiful, too. They’re more than happy to help investigate the mysteries of Pokémon. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_catch_narrative_section_3_3 TEXT: I wonder if Shaymin is out getting to know the nearby Pokémon. Try catching a few and see if you can spot Shaymin!
Catch – Part 3/4
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_catch_narrative_section_4_1 TEXT: Welcome back, %PLAYERNAME%! How’d it go? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_catch_narrative_section_4_2 TEXT: No sign of Shaymin yet, eh? Well, that’s understandable. Mythical Pokémon aren’t known to be easy to find, after all! RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_catch_narrative_section_4_3 TEXT: I appreciate you entertaining my hypothesis, though. Perhaps we can try luring Shaymin out with some Pinap Berries next? That would certainly work for me... Haha!
Catch – Part 4/4
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_catch_narrative_section_5_0 TEXT: Welcome back! No Shaymin yet, eh? Not to worry. What fun would life be if everything came easily? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_catch_narrative_section_5_1 TEXT: I’ll check in with the team leaders to see if they have any new info. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_catch_narrative_section_5_2 TEXT: While we gather more intel, why don’t you head back out and see what Pokémon you can find?
Explore – Part 1/4
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_explore_narrative_section_2_0 TEXT: I’m sure you’re raring to go, but let’s take a moment to think about the friends who’ve helped you on your journey thus far. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_explore_narrative_section_2_1 TEXT: Why don’t you send them some Gifts to let them know you’re thinking about them? It’s a great way to show your appreciation! RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_explore_narrative_section_2_2 TEXT: I hope you know how much I appreciate all you’ve done to help me, %PLAYERNAME%. I really don’t know what I’d do without you!
Explore – Part 2/4
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_explore_narrative_section_3_1 TEXT: How intensely do you think we’ll need to focus our efforts today? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_explore_narrative_section_3_4 TEXT: Hm? You didn’t know the team leaders were assisting us? But of course! RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_explore_narrative_section_3_5 TEXT: The team leaders are a curious bunch, and dutiful, too. They’re more than happy to help investigate the mysteries of Pokémon. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_explore_narrative_section_3_6 TEXT: Why don’t you visit some interesting locations that are nearby, %PLAYERNAME%? Maybe they’ll have caught Shaymin’s eye!
Explore – Part 3/4
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_explore_narrative_section_4_0 TEXT: How’d it go, %PLAYERNAME%? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_explore_narrative_section_4_1 TEXT: No sign of Shaymin yet, eh? Well, that’s understandable. Mythical Pokémon aren’t known to be easy to find, after all! RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_explore_narrative_section_4_2 TEXT: Hmm... Shaymin is known as the Gratitude Pokémon, so perhaps we can attract it to us by expressing gratitude. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_explore_narrative_section_4_3 TEXT: It’s just a theory, but maybe hatching an Egg would help? It can’t hurt to try!
Explore – Part 4/4
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_explore_narrative_section_5_1 TEXT: Good to see you back, %PLAYERNAME%! RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_explore_narrative_section_5_2 TEXT: I can tell from your expression that you haven’t encountered Shaymin yet—but try not to worry. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_explore_narrative_section_5_3 TEXT: After all, what fun would life be if everything came easily? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_explore_narrative_section_5_5 TEXT: While we gather more intel, why don’t you head back out and see what you can find?
Outro
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_outro_narrative_section_0 TEXT: Splendid, %PLAYERNAME%—you’ve brought back Shaymin! RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_outro_narrative_section_1 TEXT: Once you’re better friends, I hope you’ll hug it so we can see its flowers burst into bloom! RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_outro_narrative_section_2 TEXT: As always, thanks for helping me with today’s research! Your contributions are truly invaluable. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_outro_narrative_section_3 TEXT: I’d like to give you a hug myself—but I spilled some Pinap Juice on myself earlier, so I think I’ll keep my stickiness to myself. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_outro_narrative_section_4 TEXT: I want to hear all about how you found Shaymin, but first—have you noticed what’s appeared in the sky? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_outro_narrative_section_5 TEXT: Those gaping anomalies appear reminiscent of Hoopa’s rings, but also quite different. A bit like...black holes, perhaps? No—wormholes? What could be on the other side, I wonder? Is this why Alola’s island guardians have been appearing? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_outro_narrative_section_6 TEXT: My mind is buzzing with all the possibilities! Though, I think we should tackle this tomorrow. Today’s been plenty exciting. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_outro_narrative_section_7 TEXT: I can’t wait to see what tomorrow holds. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_outro_narrative_section_8 TEXT: And I’m certain that whatever it is, we’ll face it together! RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d1_outro_narrative_section_9 TEXT: Thanks again for all your help today, %PLAYERNAME%. And here’s to an exciting tomorrow!
Ultra beasts? Yeah, Ultra Beasts.
Day 2
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2b TEXT: Rhi’s Arrival RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2n TEXT: A Radiant World
Apparently day 2’s research is separated into two parts. Rhi’s Arrival, and A Radiant World.
Part 1: Rhi’s Arrival – 1/3
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2b_1 TEXT: Rhi’s Arrival (1/3) RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_1_0 TEXT: Ah—hello. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_1_1 TEXT: Or, hmm... Would “what is up” be an acceptable greeting in this circumstance? I have been told the humans of this world are fond of such parlance. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_1_2 TEXT: It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Rhi of the GO Ultra Recon Squad. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_1_3 TEXT: You are a...Pokémon Trainer, is it? I am familiar with the concept. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_1_4 TEXT: I apologize if I appear awkward. You are the first human I’ve met in this world. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_1_5 TEXT: Do you see that hole in the sky? That is called an Ultra Wormhole, a tear in space that leads to a world very different from yours. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_1_6 TEXT: In fact, I’ve traveled through that wormhole myself, in order to research its appearance and assist with any resulting anomalies occurring in your world. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_1_7 TEXT: Hm? You have a concern? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_1_8 TEXT: I see. This “Professor Willow” failed to appear before you, is it? I’m unfamiliar with any such individual, but I understand the concern that arises when a companion is missing. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_1_9 TEXT: I will assist you in your search. In return, however, I would ask a favor. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_1_10 TEXT: This world is mysterious. Would you assist me in expanding my knowledge of it? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_1_11 TEXT: Thank you. I am fortunate to have found someone so kind. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_1_12 TEXT: Tell me all about your world, Pokémon Trainer. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_1_13 TEXT: Together, perhaps we can expose why the Ultra Wormholes have materialized in your world and mitigate the anomalies that result.
This research starts with Rhi introducing themselves, a bit of an odd character.
Part 2: Rhi’s Arrival – 2/3
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2b_2 TEXT: Rhi’s Arrival (2/3) RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_2_0 TEXT: Wah tee sup, Pokémon Trainer? Hmm... That feels incorrect. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_2_1 TEXT: Thank you for your assistance thus far. Shall we turn our attention to other objectives? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_2_2 TEXT: First, we must find out what caused the Ultra Wormholes to appear in this world. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_2_3 TEXT: Second, we must keep watch for anything that may travel through them. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_2_4 TEXT: And third, we must find your missing Willow friend. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_2_5 TEXT: But before all of that, a question: what are those large, towering structures spread throughout the area? They seem to sometimes be blue or red or yellow, and they’re far larger than what you said are “PokéStops.” RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_2_6 TEXT: “Gyms,” is it? And Pokémon Trainers gather there to challenge powerful Pokémon in “Raid Battles”? Fascinating. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_2_7 TEXT: Tell me everything you know about these Raid Battles, Pokémon Trainer. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_2_8 TEXT: They seem to serve as nexus between powerful creatures and humans. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_2_9 TEXT: If it is acceptable to you, I would like to start by focusing our efforts there. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_2_10 TEXT: Until again, Pokémon Trainer.
Willow is missing!!
Part 3: Rhi’s Arrival – 3/3
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2b_3 TEXT: Rhi’s Arrival (3/3) RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_3_0 TEXT: Thank you for shining a light on the concept of Raid Battles, Pokémon Trainer. In return, I will confide in you what I know about the Ultra Wormholes. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_3_1 TEXT: Ultra Wormholes are portals into Ultra Space. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_3_2 TEXT: These dimensional passageways allow creatures known as Ultra Beasts to spill into worlds they don’t belong—and they are fiercely strong. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_3_3 TEXT: Ultra Beasts are similar to the creatures you call Pokémon—but to your eyes, I imagine they might appear...somewhat different than what you’re accustomed. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_3_4 TEXT: As you have likely observed, more and more Ultra Beasts are appearing around you. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_3_5 TEXT: The one in your world now is known as UB-01 Symbiont. Certain humans also call it Nihilego. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_3_6 TEXT: It is a Rock- and Poison-type Ultra Beast that is thought to produce a strong neurotoxin. It appears to be a parasite that lives by feeding on people and Pokémon. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_3_7 TEXT: I’d like to subdue it before it causes trouble for anyone in this world. Can I beg your help in this undertaking? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_3_8 TEXT: I have no experience in Pokémon battles. Where I come from, Pokémon are shared. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_3_9 TEXT: Furthermore, there are indications that someone from this world was sucked into an Ultra Wormhole. If that is true, that person could be in tremendous danger. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_3_10 TEXT: But worry not, Pokémon Trainer. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_3_11 TEXT: If that person was the Willow professor you’re searching for, the GO Ultra Recon Squad will no doubt come to their aid. Such is our purpose. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_3_12 TEXT: In the between time, I will remain here to provide assistance and illuminate any truths I can. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_basic_3_13 TEXT: Let us continue to help each other, Pokémon Trainer.
Willow was sucked into an Ultra Wormhole?!? Willow often laments not being in the action enough… Careful what you wish for I guess.
Part 4: A Radiant World – 1/6
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2n_4 TEXT: A Radiant World (1/6) RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_4_0 TEXT: To what are you up, Pokémon Trainer? That...that’s not it, is it? *sigh* I see you have caught many Ground-type Pokémon. May I ask why? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_4_1 TEXT: They’re particularly effective against Rock- and Poison-type Pokémon like Nihilego, is it? I see. Your forethought is impressive. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_4_2 TEXT: I have decided it would be prudent of me to explore and better familiarize myself with the surrounding area. Would you like to accompany? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_4_3 TEXT: We can tell each other more about our worlds as we go. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_4_4 TEXT: I am once again thankful to have acquainted myself with someone so cordial. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_4_5 TEXT: There is still much for me to learn about this world, but it has been quite exciting thus far. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_4_6 TEXT: Come, Pokémon Trainer. Let us see what we can discover together.
Part 5: A Radiant World – 2/6
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2n_5 TEXT: A Radiant World (2/6) RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_5_0 TEXT: A question, Pokémon Trainer—who are those people with the large red Rs on their clothes? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_5_1 TEXT: Judging by their dour expressions, I do not believe they’re friends of yours. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_5_2 TEXT: Team GO Rocket, is it? Curious... RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_5_3 TEXT: Their presence unnerves me. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_5_4 TEXT: If they intend to cause us problems, may I rely on you?
Part 6: A Radiant World – 3/6
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2n_6 TEXT: A Radiant World (3/6) RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_6_0 TEXT: Your skill in battle is effervescent, Pokémon Trainer! Your aptitude assures me that Nihilego can be safely subdued. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_6_1 TEXT: May we now observe the Gyms where Nihilego has been appearing? Participating in Raid Battles may prove illuminating as well. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_6_2 TEXT: Hm? Ultra Beasts aren’t the only creatures you’ve encountered of late that are far from their homes? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_6_3 TEXT: I see... The Island Guardians of Alola, is it? Perhaps they sensed that the Ultra Wormholes would appear and came to assess how much of a threat they may pose to Alola. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_6_4 TEXT: The Alola region... I’ve heard tell of its shine. But we haven’t time for my wistfulness. Let us embark, Pokémon Trainer.
Part 7: A Radiant World – 4/6
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2n_7 TEXT: A Radiant World (4/6) RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_7_0 TEXT: Shall we pause, Pokémon Trainer? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_7_1 TEXT: This is my first time in the field with another by my side. I apologize—I’ve yet to grow accustomed to the nuances of this dynamic. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_7_2 TEXT: How do you typically enjoy your rest in this world? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_7_3 TEXT: I see... Spending time with your Pokémon and friends, hatching Eggs, and other such endeavors, is it? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_7_4 TEXT: I am enchanted by these “Incubators” that you place Eggs within. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_7_5 TEXT: They seem an amazing feat of human science. Would you provide me a demonstration? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_7_6 TEXT: Perhaps if we appear relaxed, Nihilego may respond in kind. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_7_7 TEXT: Though there is always a chance it may try to feast upon you—but I will alert you if I notice such behavior in action. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_7_8 TEXT: To think I may soon witness Nihilego being captured in a Poké Ball...
Part 8: A Radiant World – 5/6
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2n_8 TEXT: A Radiant World (5/6) RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_8_0 TEXT: You were unfazed by that confrontation with Nihilego. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_8_1 TEXT: You seem unafraid of the unknown. It’s an admirable trait. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_8_2 TEXT: Do you think Nihilego felt disoriented and alone when it found itself in an unfamiliar world? I feel a kinship with it in that way... RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_8_3 TEXT: I am lucky to have met a nice human so quickly. I hope Nihilego may also consider itself lucky to have encountered such a kind and accomplished Pokémon Trainer. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_8_4 TEXT: In the end, Ultra Beasts are powerful creatures—and not easily controlled. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_8_5 TEXT: Once they have arrived in a world, there is little left I can do... RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_8_6 TEXT: And yet you have managed to take it in gently as if it were any other Pokémon. Selfishly, I wish for a closer look at Nihilego in this state. Do you have a way to observe it safely? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_8_7 TEXT: A “snapshot,” is it? What a delight. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_8_8 TEXT: Seeing Nihilego in this lucent world, I might even say it is...beautiful?
Part 9: A Radiant World – 6/6
RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2n_9 TEXT: A Radiant World (6/6) RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_9_0 TEXT: Your world is almost blindingly bright—and more verdant than I’ve ever experienced. I do hope you and your people take care to preserve its splendor. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_9_1 TEXT: Were I to exist in such a sparkling world, I would devote my power to its protection. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_9_2 TEXT: Judging by your recent actions, you seem to feel similar. You captured Nihilego, derailing disaster while seeking a solution to this world’s new dilemma. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_9_3 TEXT: And regarding your Willow... I recently discovered this juice-stained coat near an Ultra Wormhole. There’s no way to be certain, but it seems highly probable that your Willow is somewhere in Ultra Space. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_9_4 TEXT: But worry not, Pokémon Trainer. I will work with you to rescue him. You have done me many favors—it is only fair. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_9_5 TEXT: If this man is anything like you’ve described, I have no doubt he’ll be well in the end. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_9_6 TEXT: So long as Ultra Wormholes remain open here, we have a chance of his safe return—but Ultra Beasts may also continue to spill into this world. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_9_7 TEXT: For now, I’ll see what else I can do to assist you. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_9_8 TEXT: The GO Ultra Recon Squad normally works in pairs, and your presence has helped me understand why that is. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_9_9 TEXT: In fact... RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_9_10 TEXT: Would you mind if we continued our work as partners, Pokémon Trainer? RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_9_11 TEXT: Our goals easily entwine. Together, we can accomplish and learn much. RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_9_12 TEXT: You agree? Excellent. Now, our first course of action should be— RESOURCE ID: sr_gofest2022_d2_nihilego_9_13 TEXT: Wait. What are these flowers blooming about us? Is this what Pokémon can do? Yours is truly a dazzling world...
