- Troopa: Guys? We're out of fish!
- Sandy: It probably is time for a shopping trip...
- Kat?
- Kat: I had been hoping Ben would be back by now to scrounge up some Ration Cards...
- But I guess it's up to me.
- Sandy: Best hurry, it will be dark soon.
- Pat: I think I forgot something today...
- Troopa: Oh, man... we ate the last box of Goldeen Crackers months ago...
- Those maniacs don't know what they destroyed...
- Sandy: I'll keep the house warm while you're out.
- Tad: Oh? Your saddlebags? You said that you put them someplace that you could actually reach them.
- Maybe near the door?
- Mabel: Don't forget to stop by the Resistance HQ for more ration cards.
- Monty: Heh, I forgot! Where are they again?
- Mabel: They're taking a page from an old Kanto news clip for hiding their hangout.
- Kat: I know where to go.
- ...don't let Monty out, we all remember what happened last time he got lost...
- Monty: I lost my marbles!
- Don't trip over them if you see them!
- They're photos of the family!
- Mom and Dad are in them...
- That way goes upstairs.
- It's a pain to climb the steps in your current form.
- There's a movie on.
- Two dragons are walking along some railroad tracks.
- Well, time to get going too.
- The wardrobe doesn't get used much, given everybody's Pokémon now.
- Your recently-acquired saddlebags are the main exception!
- They almost make up for not having arms anymore. Almost.
- The clothes still in the wardrobe haven't been touched lately.
- They were made to fit humans.
- The neighbors live here. They're kind.
- They've sent soup over every week since... the war...
- The soup's been much more vegetarian since they got turned into Torchic though.
- -BEN'S DOJO-
- Wanna learn how to beat up those dragon punks? Paws-on practice here!
- 1 'card per session.
- Rocky: I'm booby-trapping the house, ma'am!
- Until Ben's back, we should take every precaution!
- Rocky: I'm busy booby-trapping the house, ma'am!
- Don't do anything risky, ma'am!
- Kat: Be right back, Tamato. Heading to the store.
- Tamato: See you Kat! Just grabbing the last sun of the day.
- It's getting cold... you and Sandy will be popular tonight!
- Needlepoint!Taillow: Kat! It's almost curfew!
- Kat: I'm just going to the store.
- Needlepoint!Taillow: Well, hurry!
- Needlepoint!Taillow: Shouldn't you be getting inside, Pat?
- Captured!Hydreigon: *growl* Why don't we see how you like being restrained by needlepoint?
- Captured!Hydreigon: Hmph... the little one. The nommable one.
- Pat: You're silly!
- Captured!Salamence: I'm glad to be out of the needlepoint and all, but these stickybombs itch... and are scary.
- Captured!Salamence: Oh hai. Tell your Dwebble friend I'm staying put.
- And don't need any more bombs set off.
- CLA: Danger! Danger!
- There's this group of dragons planning to take over the world!
- By turning all humans into Pokémon!
- Tell any humans you know!
- It's a bit close to curfew to be wandering.
- The shop's the other way.
- Best avoid making trouble until Ben gets back home.
- Kat: Right... better feed the prisoners.
- Captured!Hydreigon: Oh, so you finally decided to stop feeding us starvation rations, huh?
- Captured!Salamence: Psst! What are you doing?! The rations aren't THAT bad!
- At least not bad enough to merit rocking the boat right now! ._.;
- Hydreigon: *growl* You're supposed to be ''backing me up here!
- Not kowtowing to some rebellious whelps that got lucky!
- Kat: Hey, your bosses decide what the ration cards are worth.
- Hydreigon: *growl* They weren't THIS cheap when I was redeeming them!" >_< >_< >_<
- Salamence: How on earth can you all be running low like this anyways? I thought that you were swiping our cards each month." :|
- Kat: We've got a lot of people to feed! And we're, uh, orphans?
- Hydreigon: ...That means that you'd have LESS mouths to feed though, not MORE. >_> >_> >_>
- Salamence: ...Yeah, not seeing the big deal here either. Mons lose their parents all the time, no offense.
- Needlepoint!Taillow: Kat, are those two giving you trouble again...?
- I do have that needle to help out if you need it...
- Salamence: Gih! I m-mean, it's a real tragedy!
- Hydreigon: Y-Yeah! Getting stabbed by a knitting need- I mean-
- LOSING YOUR PARENTS is a real tough situation, we understand! O.O; O.O; O.O;
- Kat: ...whatever...
- Inside...
- Kat: OK, I'm home!
- Sandy: Kat!
- Pat ran outside while you were out...
- Kat: ...great. Did she say where she was going?!
- Sandy: I think she said she forgot to water her berries?
- A few minutes previously...
- Pat: Now where'd I put my Wailmer Pail..?
- You can't go home, silly! Your berries need watering!
- Zigzagoon: I found some marbles!
- Monty: Did somebody out there say something about marbles?
- Zigzagoon: Nothing! :3
- Zigzagoon: I haven't found anything for the Pickup Games yet...
- ...yeah, that family's nothing but trouble.
- You'll just assume they're accounted for.
- That way's out of your patrol zone.
- You have enough things on your plate.
Poké MartGeneral StoreAlways low prices.Please have your Ration Card ready.
- Zigzagoon: We're the Zigzagoon Fraternity!
- Zigzagoon: Don't interrupt our Pickup Games!
- Zigzagoon: I was a human. Now I've joined the Zigzagoon Fraternity.
- Life's been weirder.
- Zigzagoon: I found a watering can...
- Pat: Oh, that's mine!
- Got your Wailmer Pail! ♪
- Zigzagoon: Life's been weirder.
- Now to find something else...
- Zigzagoon: Ooh, a nickel!
- It's a bit close to curfew to be wandering.
- The shop's right there anyhow.
- CLA: Oh!
- Which way is the gas substation?
- The dragons are idiots at running it!
- It might explode!
- People say you're too young for casinos?
- But come on, you're ten!
- Berries are on the pressing agenda though.
- Your berries are the other way!
- Zigzagoon: I dropped my Coin Case somewhere around here...
- Not that the machines really work right now, but I like to keep track of my things.
- Taillow: I actually live in Petalburg.
- But I was here when the bombs fell, and there are all those patrols on the routes now...
- This secret passage leads to the basement.
- How to open it again?
- AHA! That's where the switch is today.
- This secret passage leads to the basement.
- It's a map of the Hoenn region.
- You could tell that from the sprite.
- It's a laptop!
- The Manectric gets dibs on it because he can power it.
- Manectric: Ah, hello, Kat. Benjamin has not yet returned from his journey, I'm afraid.
- Kat: Well, that is a problem, because we are out of Ration Cards.
- Manectric: Your family's assistance in training efforts is a valuable contribution to the Resistance.
- Of course we won't let you go hungry.
- Got Ration Cards! ♪
- Kat: Thank you.
- Manectric: Surely you aren't that far from being a Rapidash by now? I can help you evolve.
- Kat: Heh... not in the mood for a battle right now. Or ever. ^_^;
- Humon!Vibrava: Congrats on evolving! That rush almost makes up for this whole mon thing, right?
- Humon!Altaria: I dunno. Cotton wings? Give me my thumbs back any day.
- Humon!Vibrava: Well, yeah. I don't know HOW Reggie hit Flygon so quickly...
- Humon!Altaria: I know, right? I thought our training was pretty intense.
- The shelves are full of Pokémon merchandise!
- And by "full", you mean "stocked as best as scant resources allow".
- And by "Pokémon merchandise", you mean "merchandise".
- Bagon: Oh! You're Ben's sister, right? Say...
- Any way a fellow Bagon could get a deal on lessons with him? ^_^;
- Kat: Food's expensive, we kinda need bailing out as is. >_>
- Bagon: Ah...
- Kat: We might be able to take payment besides Ration Cards though.
- Depends on what you want to barter.
- Bagon: Hmm, I'll get back to you then!
- Bagon: Oh! You're Ben's sister, right?
- Shopkeep: AHA!
- My mystic powers tell me that you don't have any hands!
- Kat: Um... yes, you've noticed that before.
- Shopkeep: But how can I sell you groceries if you can't carry them?
- Kat: ...I left my saddlebags at home, didn't I. >_>
- Shopkeep: AHA!
- Shopkeep: AHA!
- My mystic powers tell me that you wish to buy food!
- Kat: Um... yes.
- Shopkeep: Ration Cards, please?

- Patroller: Hey, you aren't allowed out at this time of night, it's past curfew.
- I could get in trouble if I saw somebody and didn't tell them that.
- Patroller: Hey! Don't let me catch you out at this hour!
- If I have to report seeing you, it makes for a bunch of stupid paperwork for me,
- and you have to go back to the start of the screen.
- So not fun for either of us.
- Patroller: OK, I'm not sure you are getting this...
- If you are in range of my lamp, I can see you, and you could get into trouble.
- Patroller: Let me be clear:
- Words in color are hints to the player.
- So if I suggested you stay out of the yellow circle...
- Patroller: Gragh! Are you TRYING to make paperwork for me?!
- Don't let me see you and we're both bound to have a better night!
