A moogle chases a chocobo around the forest, before stopping near Zidane.
(Moogle): Kupooo!!!
Mene: I'm Mene, master of this forest! This chocobo is my friend, kupo. His name is Choco.
Choco: Kweeeh!
Mene: And this is...
A big "Chocobo's Forest" scrolls on and off again.
Zidane: Hey, did a cute girl with long hair come by here?
Mene: No. But ugly girl came by here.
Zidane: Oh... I guess she didn't come this way.
Zidane: Maybe she's heading toward Burmecia after all... I'd better get movin'.
Mene: You in a hurry, kupo?
(Zidane): Yeah, sort of.
Mene: Then take Choco. You won't run into monsters if you ride Choco.
Mene: Choco, come here.
Choco takes a step back.
Zidane: It's okay. Don't force him...
Mene: No. If Choco hates, Choco runs away.
Mene: Choco, come on! Kupo!!!
Choco: Kweeeh!!!
Choco runs off.
Mene: Fine. I'll just get to the point, kupo.
Mene: These are Gysahl Greens! You can call Choco outside the forest with these.
Mene: Find chocobo footprints near the forest, kupo. Use Gysahl Greens there, and Choco will come.
Mene: Choco likes you, kupo. You call, and he'll come! Please train Choco! Make him strong!
Mene: Come back to this forest after you call him in the world. I'll tell you a big secret, kupo.
<Gysahl Greens>
* Mene: Find chocobo footprints near forest and use Gysahl Greens. Easy to find them from above.
* Mene: Did you know, kupo? Once chocobo chooses its master, it follows him forever.
* Mene: Choco ran away from his last master. That guy was mean. Choco didn't like him, kupo...
* Mene: I helped Choco escape. Now, we're living together, kupo.
* Mene: Choco likes you, kupo. You call, and he'll come! Please train Choco! Make him strong!
