# 0_0 Hm? Who are you?
VAR(259, 0, 0), eh? You want me to make
some Balls?
Sorry, but that’ll have to wait.
Do you know Team Rocket?
Ah, don’t worry. I’ll tell you anyhow.
Team Rocket’s an evil gang that
uses Pokémon for their dirty work.
They’re supposed to have disbanded
three years ago.
Anyway, they’re at the well, cutting
off SlowpokeTails for sale!
So I’m going to go give them a
lesson in pain!
Hang on, SLOWPOKE!
Old Kurt is on his way!
# 0_1 Kurt: Hi, VAR(259, 0, 0)!
You handled yourself like a real hero.
As I mentioned before, Team Rocket was
disbanded by a boy called Red three\fyears ago.
Now that they have come back...
I have a bad feeling about it...
In any case, it would please me greatly
to make Poké Balls for a Trainer\flike you, VAR(259, 0, 0).\fThis is all I have now, but take it.
# 0_3 Kurt: I make Poké Balls from Apricorns.
Collect them from trees and bring
’em to me.
I’ll make Poké Balls out of them.
# 0_4 Kurt: You have Apricorns for me?\fFine! I’ll turn them into Poké Balls.
# 0_5 Kurt: It’ll take a day to make you a
Poké Ball. Come back for it later.
# 0_6 Kurt: Oh...
That’s a letdown.
# 0_7 Kurt: I’m working!
Don’t bother me!
# 0_8 Kurt: Ah, VAR(259, 0, 0)!\fI just finished your Poké Ball. Here!
# 0_9 Kurt: Your Bag is full!
Come back when it’s lighter.
# 0_10 Kurt: That turned out great.
Try catching Pokémon with it.
# 0_11 The SLOWPOKE are gone...
Were they taken away by bad people?
# 0_12 Grandpa’s gone...
I’m so lonely...
# 0_13 The SLOWPOKE my dad gave me came
back! Its tail has grown back, too!
# 0_14 Dad works at Silph where he studies
Poké Balls.
I have to stay home with Grandpa
and SLOWPOKE.
# 0_15 That’s right!
I’ll give you my grandpa’s number. VAR(512, 0)
# 0_16 VAR(259, 0, 0) registered Kurt
in the Pokégear!
# 0_17 My grandpa can tell you more
about Apricorns.
# 0_18 No? Why?
You don’t want to talk to my grandpa?
# 0_19 You want to talk to my grandpa,
don’t you? VAR(512, 0)
# 0_20 SLOWPOKE: ...
Yawn?
# 0_21 You see three people, with landscape
in the background.
It’s Kurt, Professor Oak, and...
in the middle,\fa lady with determined eyes.
# 0_22 It’s a statue of the forest’s
protector.
# 0_23 The radio is on.
It’s Professor Oak’s Pokémon Talk!
# 0_24 The radio is declaring the revival
of Team Rocket!
