The Rock and Other Precious Stones

Oh, Scottie, you made it!

This whole area is made from real volcanic rock.

Word is there are some precious stones being found out here lately.

I've heard we can take whatever stones we want from here, so what do you think? Wanna have a look around?

I knew you would want to!

Ahaha! You're all ready to go, aren't you?

It's pretty straightforward. Just smash some rocks that you find lying around and see what kind of stones are inside.

Let's see which one of us can find the most!

Punches today, punches tomorrow, punches forever! Hiyah! Heeyah!

Hey! I live to punch!

I punched my days away until my fists became as hard as rock.

Surely someday I will be able to pulverize this rock with my fists!

Yes, as I talk with you, I'm beginning to feel that today is that day.

All right! All right! Visualize it! Prepare yourself mentally! All right! All right!

Behold my unwavering fists!

No matter what the task at hand, if you stay positive, you will find that you can awaken some hidden power within yourself.

There is nothing that my fists can't smash! Heeyah!

You smashed something even greater than just rock...

You broke my heart...

Huh?! I can't control my fists! Somebody stop me!

Hey, you can't touch this rock!

Punches today, punches tomorrow, punches forever! I live to punch my days away!

When I look at this track, for some reason, it makes me think of how I got here.

I remember walking home along the tracks, crying after my Rattata and I lost.

That was a long, long time ago. Have I evolved since then?

Let me ask you once more: Do you think I've been able to evolve since I was a youngster?

All right! I'll find the answer I'm looking for in battle!

Hahaha! Yes, of course. Why am asking you?

Hahaha! I haven't evolved at all! I never was any good at Pokémon battles, no matter how much fun I think they are...

And after all these years, I'm still battling.

I certainly did find something that I really love.

Hahaha! I haven't evolved at all! I never was any good at Pokémon battles, no matter how much fun I think they are...

And after all these years, I'm still battling.

I certainly did find something that I really love.

They literally come out of, like, rocks?

Rocks that are brought here to Pasio change and are said to become quite precious stones!

Like, Evolution materials or whatever?

We are seeking them out, as they play an important role in the Evolution of Pokémon!

I mean, like, the name "Evolution materials" sounds like they're really important? So everybody wants them?

Well then, Madame Punk, let us search out and acquire all the Evolution materials for ourselves!

Huh, looks like a dead end.

Maybe it's time to give up and turn back?

Maybe it's time to give up and head back?

All right! Thanks for coming to look around with me!

That took me back to my time in the Oreburgh Mine, I had a ton of fun! Let's go again sometime.

All right! There might still be some places we overlooked!

Whoa, I can't believe there was a hidden path here!

Now I'm really excited! Let's go see what we can find!

Huh? Is this a dead end?

Oh no... What a shame.

A dead end... Guess I should go look for some other place to mine precious stones.

Hmm... This path being a dead end is a real bummer.

What a shame! I've wasted so much time. Not to mention my considerable talents!

You should probably go look somewhere else. Nothing to see here...

How did you know there was a secret passage here?!

I was sure I had fooled you! Can you read minds or something?!

Well, I guess it can't be helped.

We'll split it! I'll give you half! Yeah, half!

If you take it all for yourself, I'm gonna get angry for real!

Huh? Is this a dead end?

Oh no... What a shame.

A dead end... Guess I should go look for some other place to mine precious stones.

That was awesome! You smashed all the rocks out here!

Awesome! Unbelievable!

As the man they call Roark the Rock, I can't let myself be outdone!

Looks like this is the end of the cave. Maybe it's time to head back for the day?

Wow, who knew there was a hidden spot like this? This is a real adventure now!

I'm so glad we came, we got to see so many precious stones!

Well, it looks like we've covered just about everything.

What do you think, Scottie? Had enough mining for one day yet?

What do you think, Scottie? Had enough mining for one day yet?

Thanks for the help today.

That brought me back to my time in the Oreburgh Mine. Let's go again sometime!

Hahaha, OK. You've got guts, huh? Let's keep looking until you've had enough.
