==={{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}===
;[[Eterna City]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
:''"Hi! I'm Gardenia! I'm this town's [[Gym Leader]]! My last challenger was this awfully speedy young guy. ...Actually, his name was <rival>. He told me about you. He said that another challenger's on the way, so that made me antsy! At my [[Gym]], no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader, me, until the end. The challenger has to beat all the other Gym {{pkmn|Trainer}}s first. I'll be waiting for you in the back, Trainer. Don't disappoint me!"''

;[[Eterna Gym]]
* At the entrance of the Gym's maze{{sup/4|DP}}
:''"At my Gym, no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader--me--until they've beaten all the other Trainers. I'll be waiting for you in the back. Good luck, challenger!"''

* Before battle
:''"You kept me waiting! I'm Eterna's Gym Leader, Gardenia, the {{type|Grass}} master! When I first saw you, I was convinced you'd find your way to me. My hunch was right on the money. You have a winning aura about you. So, anyway, this will be fun. Let's have our battle!"''

* After the opponent sends out their last Pokémon
:''"It's not the end yet."''

* When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"I might've said it before, but you're really tough! Wasn't it hard for you to raise your Pokémon to be so good? I guess that's a measure of how much you love your Pokémon. In recognition of that, I proudly grant you this!"''
:''"With the Forest Badge, your Pokémon can use the [[HM|hidden move]] {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Now that you have two Gym [[Badge]]s, all Pokémon you received in [[trade]]s will obey you up to Lv. 30. I've also got something else. It's a gift from me!"''
:''"That [[TM86]] contains the [[move]] {{m|Grass Knot}}. It's one of my favorite moves. The heavier the foe, the more damage this move will cause."''

* If talked to again
:''"Yup! If there's one thing I can tell about you, it's this! You and your Pokémon are gonna get even tougher, and I mean seriously!"''

;[[Eterna Forest]]
:''"Hiya! Were you intrigued by the rumors going around, too?"''
:''"You know, people've been talking about the ghost Pokémon of the [[Old Chateau]]. I've been hearing rumors about sinister shadows, too. I should check it out myself, but going in there is... ...Well, you know, being that I'm a Gym Leader, I'm always busy. So, since I'm so busy, I can't go in. It's not because I'm s-scared! S-so, good luck with your investigation!"''

;[[Resort Area]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
:''"Listen, listen! I came for a visit! Can I go in?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Yes! No time to waste!"''
::'''No''': ''"Oh, right. You must have plans already."''

;[[Villa]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
* Any of the following
:''"Sigh... This is so dreamy... The Resort Area's a nice place. Of course, Eterna is a good place, too. We have the huge forest, first of all."''
:''"I know it's a little abrupt, but don't you think Grass-type Pokémon smell nice? It makes me happy just being around them."''
:''"I could tell you ten good things about Grass-type Pokémon. Which kind of Pokémon can you say good things about? Ooh, maybe ten won't be enough."''
:''"Do you remember those rumors about the Old Chateau? They say there really were ghost Pokémon there in the old days. ...That's so scary. What if they suddenly came back?"''
:''"...I'm in a dilemma now. You see, I don't like ghost Pokémon very much. But, what if... What if there was a Grass-type ghost Pokémon? What then?"''

* After buying Houseplants
:''"Oh, hey! A Houseplant! It's really nice. Maybe I'll get some for my Gym. The green coloring and the aroma... It's very nice."''

;[[Battleground]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
'''Scenario 1'''
* Before battle
:''"Hi, have you been keeping well? Let's cut to the good stuff! Let's get down to battle!"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Yes, that's right! A battle will tell you if someone you haven't seen's been keeping well!"''
::'''No''': ''"You won't battle? You're not in the mood, huh? Well, why not polish your Badges, then? That might put a shine on your day, too."''
::'''If talked to again after the player answered "No"''': ''"Oh? You do want to battle?"''

* When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"Out of the Gym, a Gym Leader is just another Trainer. But wherever I go, I still try to be as tough as I can. It's not fair to my Pokémon if we were to lose because of me."''

'''Scenario 2'''
* Before battle
:''"My Grass-type Pokémon are growing good and strong. I'm kind of interested in what Pokémon you have, too. Want to battle? A real quick one?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"I can't deny that Grass-type Pokémon have many weak points. But I'll show you that's not the only factor in deciding who wins!"''
::'''No''': ''"Aww, really? My grass Pokémon are growing good and strong too..."''
::'''If talked to again after the player answered "No"''': ''"My Grass-type Pokémon are growing good and strong. Come on, let's battle! A real quick one, OK?"''

* When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"By the way... Have you been to the Old Chateau? Me? Uh, well, you know, I have my Gym Leader job and all, so... Well, actually, I'm here training... ...I'm here just for fun. Ahahaha! Don't mind me!"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Aww, really? My Grass-type Pokémon are growing good and strong, too..."''

* If the player is defeated
:''"Yes! My Pokémon and I are perfectly good!"''

* After battle (if the player won)
:''"Wherever I go, I still try to be as tough as I can."''

* After battle (if the player lost)
:''"We won this time... But you and your Pokémon are pretty good, too! So, I'd like you to battle me here again!"''

* In the lobby (after the tournament)

* Random conversation
:''"You know, I'm from the Sinnoh region. We have a myth there that this whole world was created by a Pokémon."''
:''"I think it must have been a Grass-type Pokémon!"''
:''"'Cause, y'know, I can believe what I want, right?"''

:* If spoken to again
::''"I really enjoy pondering the world that's mentioned in the Sinnoh region's myths."''
::''"If it really was a Grass-type Pokémon that created the world, I think that deity definitely liked rain."''
::''"I mean, it must have, right? I think it also really loved rich soil, full of nutrients."''

* Random conversation
:''"I wonder how they choose the plants to bring to an artificial island."''
:''"I guess they gather a bunch of plants from all over and then choose which ones to plant."''
:''"I want to see if any plants from the [[Sinnoh]] region were chosen!"''

:* If spoken to again
::''"It just occurred to me that there might be plants from far away that we've never seen before."''
::''"I'm excited about the Pokémon battles, sure, but I'm also really looking forward to seeing all the different plants on Pasio!"''

* Random conversation
:''"When it comes to Grass-type Pokémon, Roserade is really cool, but I love Turtwig, too!"''
:''"Watching its adorable little face munch down on leaves—it just made me want to hug it and never let go!"''
:''"I was wondering if I should actually do that when Turtwig came to me on its own!"''
:''"Ever since then, Turtwig has been  one of my very best friends!"''

:* If spoken to again
::''"There are certain times where you meet someone for the first time but then your feelings connect as if a flower was blooming between you."''
::''"Don’t worry—I know you’ll have a miraculous moment like that, too, someday!"''

* Random conversation
:''"My {{p|Roserade}} is so cute, I'd love to hug her, too, but I can't."''
:''"Her thorns have poison, so I'd be in a lot of trouble if I hugged her."''
:''"Still, I love her so much, someday I might not be able to resist and give her a squeeze."''

:* If spoken to again
::''"They say beautiful flowers have thorns, but to have poison on top of that..."''
::''"I think Roserade needs to be less pretty! Not!"''

* Random conversation
:''"The Pokémon I like all have really distinct aromas."''
:''"But even then, their scent changes from day to day. I can even tell their mood by how they smell that day!
:''"It's almost like I'm talking to them. It makes me feel like we're really connected, even if they don't understand the words I use."''
:''"You know, I'm a little curious about your scent, too, <player>. Hee hee!"''

:* If spoken to again
::''"Any Pokémon will try to tell you what it's feeling, even if it can't use words. Each Pokémon has its way of communicating."''
::''"I think a Trainer's job is to understand how their Pokémon communicate!"''

* Random conversation
:''"So, I have a secret to tell. I didn’t come here just for the adventure."''
:''"I came because I also wanted to overcome my fears."''
:''"I haven’t really been able to tell my friends that I’m a bit of a coward, but..."''
:''"I felt like if I told you, you’d help me out."''

:* If spoken to again
::''"You see, I’m really, really scared of...ghosts."''
::''"So, I just can’t handle Ghost-type Pokémon."''

* Random conversation
:''"Hey. Do you know the Pokémon {{p|Pumpkaboo}} and {{p|Phantump}}?"''
:''"As you know, I really love Grass-type Pokémon, but..."''
:''"These two, they're not just Grass type. They're also Ghost type!"''
:''"I want to take care of them and cuddle them too, so I can get over my fear."''

:* If spoken to again
::''"See, I think they're cute. I really do."''
::''"But their movements and whatnot are a bit different from normal Grass types, and they scare me a little."''
::''"Still, as a Grass-type Pokémon Trainer, I can't just stay scared! Someday I'll be able to cuddle them!"''

* Special log-in conversation (generic)
:''"Ah, there you are, <player>! Where are you going to explore today?"''
:''"If there’s a meadow full of flowers, I bet that’d make Grass-type Pokémon happy!"''

* Special log-in conversation (morning)
:''"Good morning! How’re you feeling? I’m always doing great!"''

* Special log-in conversation (morning)
:''"Today is another day where we can give it our all! It helps to say it out loud, you know."''

* Special log-in conversation (afternoon)
:''"Hey there! Let’s keep having Pokémon battles and continue getting stronger!"''

* Special log-in conversation (afternoon)
:''"We’re all set and ready to get going! La la la la la la la!"''

* Special log-in conversation (evening)
:''"Good evening! Adventuring at night is fun, too. I mean, I’m not s-scared of the dark or anything."''

* Special log-in conversation (evening)
:''"*yawn* I’m getting drowsy! I can’t help it, though— all the plants are asleep, too!"''

* Special gift conversation
:''"Oh, there you are! I was looking for you! I wanted to give you this."''
:''"Just thought I'd share! Hold on to it. I'm sure it'll come in handy!"''
:''"It's the same in nature, you know? You receive, then you give--it's all a cycle."''
:''"Don't you think it's romantic?"''
