A Day with Alder

If it isn't Scottie! What a coincidence to see you here!

Scottie turned around and saw the sun hovering before [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="him" F="her" ]!

...Or so [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="he" F="she" ] thought, but it was actually Alder's Volcarona!

Hahaha! I see you're struck by my Volcarona's beauty, eh?

Yes! Volcarona looks happy to see you!

Looks like he's doing especially well today! He's really raising the temperature here!

Actually, I found you at just the right time!

There's something I've been wanting to teach you, and now's the perfect opportunity to do just that!

It's been a long time since I set off on my journey as a Pokémon Trainer.

And on that journey, I learned the importance of being able to travel with my Pokémon.

I want to make sure our team and everyone here on Pasio understands how important that is, too!

Yes! I'm sure you'll have no trouble understanding what I have to say!

As a former Champion, I'm supposed to foster healthy relationships between people and Pokémon.

Both of my Volcarona taught me that important lesson.

Haha, you look a little confused.

I guess I should explain what happened before I formed a sync pair with this guy.

The first Pokémon that I truly bonded with when I became a Trainer was also a Volcarona.

But that Volcarona...has been laid to rest at the Celestial Tower in Unova.

We fought together, laughed together, shared our joy together... I thought it would last forever.

But all good things must come to an end... Sometimes unexpectedly so.

Thanks to my first partner Pokémon, I learned that people and Pokémon can't stick around forever.

Because our time here is limited, we should treasure the moments we have now.

My current partner here understands that, too.

I learn so much from watching how hard he works.

That's what I meant by "both of my Volcarona."

I've already relinquished my title as Champion.

Nothing lasts forever, not our strength and not the lives of our Pokémon.

Even so, remembering the times you spent together and the memories you shared will always bring you joy.

You and your partner Pokémon have a special bond that allows you to share important things with each other!

The spark in your eyes as a sync pair is a wonderful sight indeed!

Be strong so they don't lose that spark!

Great answer! I hope you can find happiness together!

I'm glad to hear that! I see you understand what I'm saying!

Volcarona is known as the embodiment of the sun.

Together with Volcarona, I'll shine light on the future, where people and Pokémon can live together in harmony!

Whoa! Volcarona is burning with motivation!
