I'm not joshing you, I screwed up an experiment and got combined with a <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc>! So, how about it? Help me out there!"''
:''"{{tt|No!? Come on, you gotta help a guy in deep trouble! What do you say, chief? Please? OK? All right!|If player refuses}} When I'm in the <sc>Teleporter</sc>, go to my PC and run the Cell Separation System!"''
*After helping him
:''"{{tt|Yeehah! Thanks, bud! I owe you one! So, did you come to see my <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc> collection? You didn't? That's a bummer. I've got to thank you... Oh here, maybe this'll do.|First time}} That cruise ship, <sc>S.S.Anne</sc>, is in <sc>Vermilion City</sc>. Its passengers are all trainers! They invited me to their party, but I can't stand fancy do's. Why don't you go instead of me?"''

;[[Ecruteak City]]
:''"Hi, I'm <sc>Bill</sc>. And who are you? Hmm, <player>, huh? You've come at the right time. I just finished adjustments on my <sc>Time Capsule</sc>. You know that <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc> can be traded, right? My <sc>Time Capsule</sc> was developed to enable trades with the past. But you can't send anything that didn't exist in the past. If you did, the PC in the past would have a breakdown. So you have to remove anything that wasn't around in the past. Put simply, no sending new moves or new <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc> in the <sc>Time Capsule</sc>. Don't you worry. I'm done with the adjustments. Tomorrow, <sc>Time Capsules</sc> will be running at all <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon Centers</sc>. I have to hurry on back to <sc>Goldenrod</sc> and see my folks. Buh-bye!"''

*After talking to him at the Ecruteak City Pokémon Center
:''"Hi, <player>! Do us a favor and take this <sc>Eevee</sc>. It came over when I was adjusting the <sc>Time Capsule</sc>. Someone has to take care of it, but I don't like being outside. Can I count on you to play with it, <player>?

::'''No''': ''"Oh... Now what to do?

*If the player is carrying six Pokémon
:''"Whoa, wait. you can't carry any more <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc>.

*After receiving Eevee
:''"<sc>Prof. Elm</sc> claims <sc>Eevee</sc> may evolve in new and unknown ways"''

*Subsequent visits
:''"I used to experiment with a <sc>Teleporter</sc>. I ought to do a follow-up."''{{sup/2|GS}}

:*If box has at least 15 Pokémon

;[[Cinnabar Island]]
*After defeating Blaine
:''"Huh? Hey, if it isn't <player>! Look, it's me, <sc>Bill</sc>. Long time no see! I hope you're still using my PC system. Well, listen, since we met up here, how about spending time with me? There's this little island in the far south called <sc>One Island</sc>. A friend invited me, so I'm on my way out there. How about it? Do you feel like coming with me?
::'''No''': ''"What, are you too busy? Well, all right. The boat hasn't arrived yet anyway. I'll be waiting at the <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon Center</sc> over there. Come see me when you're done with your business here."''
::'''Yes''': ''"All right, then. Let's go!"''
::''"Looks like [[Seagallop|my pal's boat]] arrived, too. He sent it specially here to <sc>Cinnabar</sc> to pick me up."''

*In the Pokémon Center, if the player declined the offer

*After returning from One Island
:''"Hey, wasn't that a long cruise? My buddy <sc>Celio</sc> seemed to enjoy your company. I'm sure he'd welcome you if you were to visit him again. If you have a <sc>Tri-Pass</sc>, you can always take a ferry there from <sc>Vermilion Port</sc>. All right, thanks for your company!"''

;{{OBP|One Island|town}}
:''"Here we are! This is <sc>One Island</sc>. There are several islands around here, and this is one of them. My friend <sc>Celio</sc> sent the boat to fetch me here. He's in charge of the island's PC network by his lonesome. ...Why am I telling you this now? Let's just go see <sc>Celio</sc>!"''

;[[Pokémon Network Center]]
*Upon the player's arrival
:''"Hey, there! <sc>Celio</sc>!"''
:''"Well, absolutely! How's your research coming along? ...Oh, wait a sec. <Player>, this is my buddy <sc>Celio</sc>. He's one dedicated PC <sc>Maniac</sc>! <sc>Celio</sc>, this is <player>, a rising contender as the <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon Champ</sc>!"''
:''"So, bring me up to speed. How's your machine running?"''
:''"Oh, yeah? Okay, let me take a look-see. ...Hang on here... I think we can make it work. Let me help you, okay? <Player>, can I get you to wait for me just a bit? ...Actually, can I get you to do me a favor? The island next to this one's called <sc>Two Island</sc>. There's a guy there that runs a <sc>Game Corner</sc>. He has this thing for rare rocks and gems. We keep in touch, being fellow maniacs. So, can I get you to deliver this <sc>[[Meteorite]]</sc> to him?"''

*After rescuing Lostelle
:''"Oh, hey! <Player!>"''
:''"What kept you so long? Been out having a good time? We got it done. The PCs are up and running!"''

:''"Well, there you have it. I'm finished with the job. We should head back to <sc>Kanto</sc>. <sc>Celio</sc>, I'll be seeing you again."''

;[[Ecruteak City]]
:''"Hi, I'm Bill. And who are you? Hmm, <player>, huh? You know what? I'm the one who developed the system to transfer Pokémon. But it couldn't have been done by me alone. For example, do you know the [[Hoenn]] region? This girl [[Lanette]] from Hoenn made the Pokémon Storage System easier to use. My friends all over the world are working together to improve the Pokémon trade and storage systems. I have to hurry on back to Goldenrod and see my folks. Buh-bye!"''

;[[Goldenrod City]]
*After talking to him at the Ecruteak City Pokémon Center
:''"Hi, <player>! Would you do something for me and take this <sc>Eevee</sc>? It came over when I was adjusting the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. Someone has to take care of it, but I don't like being outside. Can I count on you to play with it, <player>?"
::'''Yes''': ''"I knew you'd come through! You're the real deal! Way to go! OK, I'm counting on you. Take good care of it!"''
::'''No''': ''"Oh... Now what to do?"

*If the player is carrying six Pokémon
:''"Whoa, wait. You can't carry any more Pokémon."

*After receiving Eevee
:''"Professor Elm said <sc>Eevee</sc> can evolve into seven different kinds of Pokémon!"''

*Subsequent visits
:''"I used to do experiments on transferring things. Both the [[GTS]] and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection were inspired by my machine that transfers things!"''

;[[Pokégear]]
*If there is still available PC storage
:''"{{tt|Good morning!|If morning}}/{{tt|Good day!|If daytime}}/{{tt|Good evening!|If nighttime}} This is the Pokémon Storage System Administration Service. Who's calling? <player>, is it? Hang on a sec... ... ... Well, you're starting on the PC Box named <name of currently selected box> right now. That's an easy-to-remember name. Easy to remember is the best way to go. OK, including the space left in <name of currently selected box>, you can still hold <amount of free storage system space> more Pokémon in the PC. Call again sometime..."''
