Pokémon Concierge (ポケモンコンシェルジュ)

We have an important announcement

for all Pokémon Trainers and guests.

We're currently experiencing heavy rain and high winds on the island.

So all outdoor activities have been canceled.

For your safety and the safety of your Pokémon,

please make your way to the indoor facilities,

which remain open at this time.

Haru!

Look sharp and be careful!

Right!

Look at how high the water is.

That's not good!

I'm gonna head upstream and check on the Magikarp!

Haru, get these Pokémon to the lobby as soon as you can!

Yeah! Right!

Be careful, okay?

Okay, you too!

It's already flooding out of control.

It washed the bridge away!

-Eevee! -

I'm so sorry!

It's fine! Don't move! Stay there!

-I could use your help, Bulbasaur! -

- -Closer. Just a little closer.

Eevee! Jump into my arms! Come on, you can do it!

- - Steady, Eevee!

Huh?

Huh?

Arcanine?

-Thank you! -

- -Hmm?

- -Mmm.

Do I know you? You seem so familiar. Who are you?

Arcanine!

- -

-Are you okay? -Yeah. Thanks, I'm fine. Uh…

- Kent? -Huh?

Haru?

-Haru… -Huh?

-Your hair's wet. You want a towel? -Uh…

Oh, yeah.

Thanks, Kent.

I didn't know you were staying here.

You see, I was off work when you arrived.

Ah, gotcha.

You know, I haven't seen you in a while.

Sorry about the whole river thing.

Nah. I'm glad that you're doing well.

- - Mommy!

Do you know when the rain's gonna stop?

Oh yeah. That guy's totally her ex, no doubt.

-Really? -

Oh, Haru! She ought to stay far away from that guy!

- Huh? -Calm down. It's not like you're her dad.

- Oh? -

What's wrong, Psyduck?

I think Psyduck's jealous of the ex getting all the attention.

You know…

-I was really surprised. -Huh?

I never thought you'd be a concierge at a resort.

Who, me?

-Wait, why not? -Come on, Haru.

Your life used to revolve around high heels

and giving higher-pressure presentations.

And now…

I'm covered in mud.

Soaked and wearing sandals and sweatpants.

No, I…

-I'm sorry. -No worries.

So, uh, I've been promoted to area manager.

Yeah? Congratulations!

Thanks so much!

I thought that a good way to celebrate would be to come to the island

and have a really good time with Arcanine.

That's great.

The weather will definitely clear up tomorrow,

so I hope you have fun!

Thanks, Haru.

This is unreal!

I never thought Kent would come here!

All the feels!

These are from our very first vacation together.

Psyduck, look!

Hey, what's that face for?

Yes, that's actually what I looked like when I was younger.

Kent seems like he's really grown up.

But also, he looks like he's incredibly tired.

- -Hmm.

You know what? Since the rain stopped,

let's make sure Kent and Arcanine have the best day tomorrow.

- -

-What's that cool-looking spot there? -Ah.

Good morning everyone!

-Observing some rare Pokémon, are we? - Uh…

- -

Lots to do today and I don't wanna fall behind.

-Hmm? -Huh?

- -Hmm?

Sealeo!

Hi!

- - Hmm?

- -Hmm? Huh?

You're too heavy. Please get up!

Look!

- -

- -

Bon appétit!

Thanks a lot.

Huh?

Uh…

Mmm.

It's really good!

You chased it away? Good job, Mudkip!

Uh. Oh…

I'm drenched yet again!

I'm sorry.

It's more hectic today than usual.

Yeah.

What's wrong?

Haru, I…

You must've been really unhappy back home.

So you had to get out.

-I'm so sorry I didn't see that. -What?

-I don't-- - Haru!

Can you come help me with these berries?

Ah! Sure thing!

I'll be right over!

Sorry! Duty calls! Be right back!

Okay.

- -

Haru's such a wonderful employee

-and has been doing quite well here. -

I'm sure she is.

Haru may seem awkward at times,

but she's actually well-suited for her concierge position.

The way she always puts the needs of others first

is something I've never seen before.

Like today, she took care of Arcanine. It's suffering from dry paws.

So she came to me this morning and asked for some cream.

Noticing the little things that Trainers might overlook

is one of Haru's most helpful qualities, you know.

Huh?

- -And this one?

-That goes right over there. -Got it!

-Hold onto that. -Mm-hmm.

The view from up here is absolutely breathtaking!

Whoa!

I know, right? I love this island so much.

I was thinking,

maybe I was trying to get away from everything when I first came here.

But now, now it just feels like home.

Okay.

I understand.

- -Oh?

Oh, yeah!

Our whole team put this slide together!

It was a huge job and took us about two months to build,

but all of our guests love it, especially the Pokémon!

-Follow me, Arcanine! -
