Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

Littleroot Town

"Pokémon fully restored… Items all packed, and… Hey! You… Who are you? Oh, you're <player>, aren't you? Moved in next door, right? I didn't know that you're a girl. Dad, Prof. Birch, said that our new next-door neighbor is a Gym Leader's kid, so I assumed you'd be a guy. My name's Brendan. So, hi, neighbor! Huh? Hey, <player>, don't you have a Pokémon? Do you want me to go catch you one? Aw, darn, I forgot… I'm supposed to go help my dad catch some wild Pokémon. Some other time, okay?"

Route 103

"Okay, so it's this one and that one that live on Route 103…"

• Before battle

"Hey, it's <player>! …Oh, yeah, Dad gave you a Pokémon. Since we're here, how about a little battle? I'll teach you what being a Trainer's about!"

• Being defeated

"Huh, <player>, you're not too shabby."

• After battle

"I think I get it. I think I see why my dad has his eye out for you now. Look, your Pokémon already likes you, even though you just got it. <player>, I get the feeling that you could befriend any Pokémon with ease. We should head back to the Lab.

Oldale Town

"I'm heading back to my dad's Lab now. <player>, you should hustle back, too."

Professor Birch's lab

"Huh… So you got a Pokédex, too. Well then, here. I'll give you this."

"You know it's more fun to have a whole bunch of Pokémon. I'm going to explore all over the place to find different Pokémon. If I find any cool Pokémon, you bet I'll try to get them with Poké Balls."

• If talked to once again

"Where I should look for Pokémon next…"

Rustboro City

"<player>, how's your Pokédex? Have you filled in any pages yet? Mine rules. I went on a Pokémon-catching frenzy in Petalburg Woods until I ran out of Poké Balls."

"By the way, I walked by Mr. Briney in Petalburg Woods. I bet he was on his way home to his cottage by the sea. I bet you didn't know this, but he's always got a Pokémon with him."

Route 110

"Hey, <player>. So this is where you were. How's it going? Have you been raising your Pokémon? I'll check for you."

• Being defeated

"Hmm… You're pretty good."

• After battle

"<Player>, you've trained without me noticing… Good enough! Here, take this."

"That's an Itemfinder. Use it to root around for items that aren't visible. If it senses something, it emits a sound. Anyway, I'm off to look for new Pokémon."

Lavaridge Town

"<Player>, hey, it's been a while. How's it going? Hmm… That's a decent collection of Badges. All right then. You may as well have this."

"Keep those with you if you're planning on going into that desert near Route 111. There should be some Pokémon that are exclusively desert-dwellers. You might look around for those. As for me… I'm considering challenging Norman, the Gym Leader of Petalburg. Unlike you, <player>, your dad looks like he really is tough. See you around!"

Route 119

"<Player>! So this is where you've been looking for Pokémon? Let me see how good you got. I'll test you! Now! It's a battle, so battle!"

• Being defeated

"Hmm… You've gotten pretty darn decent."

• After battle

"I'd say you're good enough to search for Pokémon anywhere. Here, I'll give you this. Try it out."

"Use Fly, and your Pokémon instantly carries you to any town you've already visited. But you need the Fortree Gym Badge to do that. Anyway, I have to move along."

Lilycove City

"Oh, hey, its <player>. I'm running an errand for my dad. No, I'm not buying any Dolls. Anyways, it's been a while. Want to have a battle to see who's been raising Pokémon better?"

Yes: "Aww, but you know I'm not going to lose to no <player>."

No: "Oh, what's the matter? Don't have the confidence?"

• Being defeated

"Humph… You've done a lot of raising. That stings a bit--I had a head start on you as a Trainer…"

• After battle

"I… I plan on going home to Littleroot. You know I'm helping out my dad on his Pokédex. It's coming together pretty decently, so I should go show him. <Player>, what are you going to do? Collect all the Gym Badges and take the Pokémon League challenge? Maybe I'll do that, too… Well, anyway, hang in there!"

Littleroot Town

• After defeating Brendan in Lilycove City

"Hey, it's <player>. I was just checking out my Pokédex. There are still many Pokémon that I need to catch, I know, but this is looking pretty good. Checking this Pokédex out gives me the urge to hit the road again."

• If talked to once again

"I'm having a hard time deciding where I should catch Pokémon next. Hey, <player>, if I see you while I'm out catching Pokémon, I can pitch you a battle if you'd like."

Ever Grande City

"<Player>! How would you like some advice before you challenge the Champion?… <Player>… Are you trying to tell me… You've beaten the Champion?"

"Whaaaat?!… … … … It can't be helped if that's the rule. <Player>, way to go! Congratulations!"

Pokémon Emerald

Littleroot Town

"Hey! You… Who are you? Oh, you're <player>, aren't you? Moved in next door, right? I didn't know that you're a girl. Dad, Prof. Birch, said that our new next-door neighbor is a Gym Leader's kid, so I assumed you'd be a guy. My name's Brendan. So, hi, neighbor! Huh? Hey, <player>, don't you have a Pokémon?

• If talked to once again

"Where should I look for Pokémon next…"

Rustboro City

"Oh, hey, <player>! You had a Match Call feature put on your Pokénav! Cool! Let's register each other so we can get in touch anytime!"

"By the way, <player>, I walked by Mr. Briney in Petalburg Woods. I bet he was on his way home to his cottage by the sea. <Player>, how's your Pokédex? Have you filled in any pages yet? Mine rules. Want to have a battle to test how far you've progressed?"

Yes: "I know you just became a Trainer, but I won't go easy!"

No:"What's the matter? Don't have any confidence in your Pokémon?"

• Being defeated

"Hmm… You're pretty good."

• After battle

"By the way, you know Mr. Briney? The guy I just passed? I bet you didn't know this, since you just moved here, <player>, but Mr. Briney was once a great sailor."

Route 104 (if skipped in Rustboro City with Teleport)

"Oh, hey, <player>! Cool, you had Devon install the the Match Call system on your Pokénav! Let's register each other in our Pokénavs so we can keep in touch."

"<Player>, how's your Pokédex? Have you filled in any pages yet? Me, I'm doing great! Want to check out how good I am with a battle?"

Yes: "I know you just became a Trainer, but I won't go easy!"

No:"What's the matter? Don't have any confidence in your Pokémon?"

• If talked to again after refusing

"What's up? Want to have a battle with me?"

Yes: "I know you just became a Trainer, but I won't go easy!"

No:"What's the matter? Don't have any confidence in your Pokémon?"

• Being defeated

"Hmm… You're pretty good."

• After battle

"You've gotten pretty decent at handling Pokémon. But you know, you shouldn't just be making Pokémon battle. Like Mr. Briney, it's important to become friends with your Pokémon."

Route 110

"Hey, <player>. So this is where you were. How's it going? Have you been raising your Pokémon? I'll check for you."

• Being defeated

"Hmm… You're pretty good."

• After battle

"<Player>, you've trained without me noticing… Good enough! Here, take this."

Match Call

"Hey, <player>! I was in Pacifidlog just now. I saw this huge green Pokémon flying across the sky. I've never seen anything that amazing before. I wish you could've seen it, <player>."

Ever Grande City

"<Player>! How would you like some advice before you challenge the Champion?… <Player>… Are you trying to tell me… You've beaten the Champion?"

"Whaaaat?!… … … … It can't be helped if that's the rule. <Player>, way to go! Congratulations!"

Professor Birch's Lab

• After becoming the Champion

"I went out all over Hoenn and checked out Pokémon. You can thank me for getting the National Mode Pokédex. Yep, you're lucky, <player>!"

• If talked to once again

"For the time being, I'm taking a break from fieldwork. I'll be helping out the Prof here for a while."

• After completing the Hoenn Pokédex (minus Jirachi and Deoxys)

"Rather than collecting Pokémon, I prefer slowly and steadily raising the one I chose."

• After choosing Johto first partner Pokémon

"Hey, <player>! Have you gone out to that place, the Battle Frontier?"

Match Call^E

• After registering May in the Match Call

"Hey, <player>! Mr. Briney retired as a Sailor, but I still see him out on the sea with his pet Peeko sometimes. I guess he must love the sea still."

• After receiving the Knuckle Badge

"Hey, <player>! I don't get how little towns like Petalburg and Dewford have gyms. I mean, not when the big port of Slateport doesn't have a gym. When they finally build a gym there, I should apply to be the leader."

• After delivering the Devon Goods

"Yo, <player>! Do you remember a guy named the Cutter in Rustboro? He had a house there, right? Well, it turns out his little brother lives in Mauville. Can you guess his name?"

"… … … … … … … … … … … …"

"The Rock Smash Guy!"

• After defeating Wally at Mauville City

"This voice… <player>? They gave Rusturf Tunnel its name because it joins Rustboro and Verdanturf. Did you know that?"

• After connecting the two halves of Rusturf Tunnel

"<player>, what's up? Hey, I'm out on Route 111 now. I'm going to rest up at an old lady's house north of the desert. If you're in the area, you should visit her, too."

• After receiving the Heat Badge

"Hey, <player>! Did you know about the Mirage Tower in the desert? They say, like a mirage, it can only be seen sometimes. I'd like to see that!"

• After receiving the Balance Badge

"Who's this? Oh, <player>? Guess what? I'm on Route 119 now. There's a big river here, and it rains all the time. I got soaked to the bone!"

• After defeating Shelly at the Weather Institute

"<player>! Mt. Pyre is a memorial to Pokémon whose lives have ended. That's probably why it's infested with many Ghost-type Pokémon!"

• After defeating Team Aqua at Mt. Pyre

"Hey there, <player>! I was on my way back to the hot springs in Lavaridge. But around Jagged Pass, I ran into some nasty-looking characters. Those creeps…I think they were Team Magma."

• After defeating Maxie at the Magma Hideout

"Hi, <player>! Did you catch the news? They say Capt. Stern discovered the Seafloor Cavern while on his submarine expedition."

• After watching Archie take Captain Stern's submarine

"Hey there, <player>! Don't you think it's awesome? Even if you don't have a boat, you can cross the sea using a Pokémon's move. And, there's a Pokémon move that lets you go to the bottom of the sea. Man, Pokémon can do anything!"

• After defeating Matt at the Aqua Hideout

"Howdy, <player>! How are you holding up? Ever found your way to the other side blocked while on the sea? Try diving deep underwater and following trenches at the bottom. When you get to the other side, come up to the surface. Simple!"

• After meeting Steven on Route 128

"Hey there, <player>! How's it going? Filling your Pokédex successfully? I heard a rumor that there are super-ancient Pokémon out there. And not just one--three! I'd love to catch even one…"

• After receiving the Rain Badge

"<player>! I heard the rumors! You beat the Sootopolis Gym Leader? Awesome! You're getting awfully close now!"

• After becoming the Champion

"There isn't a Trainer in all of Hoenn who doesn't know who you are, <player>! When I tell people that I'm friends with you, <player>, they get pretty envious!

Littleroot Town

"Pokémon fully restored… Items all packed, and… Y-you… Who are you? <player>? Oh, you're the new kid who just moved in next door?! Huh… I didn't know that you'd be a girl. Dad—I mean, Professor Birch—told me you were the kid of a Gym Leader, and I sort of hoped you'd be a guy. My name's Brendan. Well, I guess we are still neighbors, so… Nice to meet you! Let's be friends, OK? Huh? Hey, <player>… Don't you have any Pokémon? If you want, I can go catch you one. Aw, wait, I forgot… I'm supposed to be going out to help my dad catch some wild Pokémon. Some other time, OK?"

Route 103

• Before battle

"OK, so it's this one and that one that live on Route 103… Huh? Hey, <player>! Ohhh. So you finally got a Pokémon from my dad? Then how about a little battle? Since we're here and all! I'm going to teach you what being a Trainer's all about!"

• Being defeated

"Huh. You're not too shabby, <player>."

• After being defeated

"It was a good battle. Thanks! Here! Lemme heal up both our parties real quick. I think I know why my dad had his eye on you now. Look, you just got your Pokémon, right? And you already have that strong of a bond? I get the feeling that you could befriend any Pokémon, <player>. No doubt. Well, I've got some good data here, so I guess it's time I got back to the lab. You should head back, too, <player>!

Oldale Town

"I'm heading back to my dad's lab first! Come on, <player>!"

Professor Birch's Lab

"Oh! <player>! Over here!"

"Huh… So you got a Pokédex, too, <player>. Well then here. Have some Poké Balls on me. You can use them to catch wild Pokémon. If you catch a Pokémon in the wild and battle together with it for a while, it will grow stronger for you! Take that as a bit of advice from a more experienced Trainer like me! I'm going to get ready to head out from Littleroot soon myself. It's like…I don't know… It really gets you pumped up, right? We've both gotta give it our all out there, <player>!"

"I wonder where I should go to look for Pokémon next…"

Route 101

"<player>! This is from my dad. He said he forgot to give it to you before. The app I just added to your PokéNav Plus is called the DexNav. It can tell you lots about the Pokémon living in each area and that kind of stuff. It's a handy app to have if you're trying to catch lots of different Pokémon. Guess it's about time I use the DexNav to do a little more catching myself! I'm gonna head that way and see what I find. <player>, you should use those Poké Balls I gave you earlier to do a bit of catching, too!"

• Sneaking up on Pokémon

"Hey, <player>! Over here! See that? Right there? There's a tail sticking out! There's a Pokémon hiding there! And look here, if you check your DexNav… Score! It looks like that Pokémon knows a pretty rare move, too! <player>! Try getting closer, real nice and slow! Push lightly on the Circle Pad to sneak close to Pokémon hiding in the grass. That's what it said in some book. You're almost there…! Slowly…slooowly… Remember…you press lightly on the Circle Pad to sneak!"

• After a successful sneak

"That was awesome, <player>! I've been at this way longer than you, and even I have a hard time sneaking up like that without being noticed!"

• After an unsuccessful sneak

"Hah hah! Too bad… If you try to get close in a rush, a hiding Pokémon will just run away from you."

Route 102

"Hey! There you are! How's it going, <player>? Hope you've been using your DexNav and perfecting your sneaking skills. Oh, and you DO know about your DexNav's Detector Mode, right? It'll react to any Pokémon in the area, so it's pretty handy to use! Hm? Whoa! Check 'em out, <player>! It's like…I don't know… Seeing them like that makes me feel kinda…warm. You know? All right then! We're nearly there! Petalburg, here we come! Norman is the Gym Leader in this city, right? And…your dad, <player>. I'm thinking maybe I should challenge him once I train up my Pokémon a bit more. Guess I'll be off then!"

Rustboro City

• Upon entering the city

"So you made it here to Rustboro, too, <player>. It's a real city, huh? Nothing like Littleroot. Oh, did you know? There's a Pokémon Gym here, too. Soon as I gather a few more Pokémon, I'll be trying my team against it! See ya!"

• After visiting Devon Corporation

"Hey, <player>. How's your Pokédex? Completed any entries yet? Mine pretty much rules. I went on a Pokémon-catching frenzy in Petalburg Woods until I ran out of Poké Balls! Oh, yeah. I passed by Mr. Briney in Petalburg Woods. I bet he was on his way home to his cottage on Route 104. I guess you wouldn't know, since you just moved here and all, but they say that old guy used to be an amazing sailor!"

• If talked to again

"Oh, yeah. I passed by Mr. Briney in Petalburg Woods. I bet he was on his way home to his cottage on Route 104. I guess you wouldn't know, since you just moved here and all, but they say that old guy used to be an amazing sailor!"

Route 110

• Before battle

"Hey, <player>. So this is where you've been. How've things been going? I was just checking out the Pokémon around here to help with my dad's research. He says that a long, long time ago, nature used to be way more diverse and there were lots more kinds of Pokémon, too. My dad and I want to learn more about those Pokémon from the past, you know? That's why we do fieldwork. And this journey has really helped. I've met a lot of Pokémon on my way here and learned about them, too. Which reminds me! Come on! It's the first time we've met in ages, so let's have a battle! Show me what you and your team have accomplished on your journey, <player>!"

• Being defeated

"Whoa! Not bad!"

• After being defeated

"Sheesh, <player>, when did you go and train your Pokémon up that well? It's, like, I don't know… It's pretty surprising, OK! Both our teams look pretty wiped out after that, huh! Here, let me help them out."

"And this is for you."

"That's a Dowsing Machine. Use it to root around for items that aren't visible. If it senses something nearby, it'll react, see? Truth is, once I started using it, I got pretty hooked on it. It's addicting! But I recommend you give it a try. Careful though, you won't be able to sneak up on Pokémon while you wear it! I guess I'm off to get started surveying the next area then. I hope you meet a lot of Pokémon, too, <player>!"

Route 112

"Hm? So it's you, <player>. You see that mountain up there? That's Mt. Chimney. I dunno, but… But seeing it for real is, like… Like a punch in the gut, you know? Hope I might get to take the Cable Car up to the top someday… Hey, <player>, doesn't your team seem a bit worse for wear? Here. I'll help them out for you."

"And why don't you take this?"

"I bet you can find all kinds of ways to use it in the mountains that lie ahead! Oh… But it won't work out here if you don't have a Badge from Lavaridge Gym. Bah! This is no time to be giving you tricks! I'm supposed to be heading to Fallarbor to visit Professor Cozmo right now! See you later, <player>. Next time let's have a battle, OK?"

Route 113

"Phew… It took a long time to make it this far. Even I felt like I needed a little break. Looks like your team could use one, too, <player>. Lemme patch them up for you."

"…There. That's them sorted. I'm on my way to meet this Professor Cozmo fellow, right? He's super famous for his research on Meteorites. He even worked with my dad—I mean, with Professor Birch—on figuring out if Meteorites could have any effect on Pokémon. OK! Time to get moving again! I think Fallarbor's pretty close now. Let's both give it one last push!"

Fallarbor Town

• Before saving Professor Cozmo

"<player>! C'mere! Everything's a mess!"

"It's ridiculous… Professor Cozmo… They say that he was just up and kidnapped by some nuts calling themselves Team Something or Other…"

"<player>… I know it's a lot to ask, but we've gotta help Cozmo! I can't just stand by here and watch them use his life's work for their own corrupt reasons! I'm going to head to Meteor Falls right away. Come catch up to me as soon as you can. I'm counting on you, <player>!"

• After saving Professor Cozmo

"Those crazy jerks… What do you think they wanted with the professor's Meteorite anyway? I've gotta say, they sure didn't look like the good guys…but… I guess we'd both better be careful from here on out. Not that I'm really worried about you, <player>. You and your team'd be fine for sure."

"Thank you, Professor."

"Now that that's over with… What're you planning to do next, <player>? I'm thinking of going for my next Gym Badge. The one from Mauville City. Wanna make the trip together, <player>? To Mauville, that is."

Yes: "Cool. Let's go then."

No:

Route 114

"You guys are— Where are you taking the professor?! H-hey! Stop right there!"

Meteor Falls

"Hey! You jerks! Let Professor Cozmo go!"

"<player>! You finally made it, huh! We've gotta protect the professor from these lunatics or else! There's two of them… And two of us, huh? Sorry to ask, <player>, but… Battle alongside me!"

Yes: "Thanks, pal!"

No: "So even you get nervous, huh… I get it. I'll wait till you get ready."

• Before battle

"All right! Let's do this!"

• After battle

"All right! We beat 'em!"

"Who's that?!"

"Professor!"

"Oh man… What's with those lunatics? Forget those guys! Professor! Hey! Professor Cozmo! Hang in there, OK?"

"I think he's still pretty out of it… <player>… Never mind what's happened! I've got to get the professor back to his lab in Fallarbor! OK, Professor… Easy now…"

Mauville City

"All right, made it to Mauville City. Up ahead here is Mt. Chimney, huh? That's the place those nut jobs at Meteor Falls were talking about going to. Be careful, <player>. It might get dangerous around here."

Lavaridge Town

"<player>, hey! So you were all right, huh? Oh, well, you know… The last time I saw you, you were mixed up with those "Team Whatsit" people… So I just wondered if you'd gotten back on the road after that. It was, like, I don't know… I guess I was a bit…worried? What? You battled them AGAIN after that? And you even managed to beat them? You really are something else, <player>… You and your Pokémon. Your team. And that…that sparkle there… Is that the Meteorite you got back from them? …Oh, right! I forgot to give you these before."

"Keep those with you if you're planning on going into that desert near Route 111. There should be some Pokémon that only make their habitat in the desert, you know. You might check 'em out—if you're up to it. And… Huh? You got the Lavaridge Badge! So you even beat Flannery, huh? Looks like you've been taking proper care of your Pokémon. Guess that means…that you'll be headed to Petalburg City next, huh? To challenge your dad at his Gym? W-well, if you are… I just happened to be thinking of going to Petalburg myself, so… How about it? Wanna go back to Petalburg together?

Yes: "Y-yeah? Then let's hit it!"

No: "O-oh... Yeah, I get it... But, well, I'll probably still be here in Lavaridge for a while. So if you decide to head for Petalburg, um, let me know."

• If talked to again after answering "No"

"How about it? Wanna go back to Petalburg together?"

Yes: "Y-yeah? Then let's hit it."

No: "O-oh... Yeah, I get it... But, well, I'll probably still be here in Lavaridge for a while. So if you decide to head for Petalburg, um, let me know."

Petalburg City

"So we're here. Petalburg City. <player>, you do your best with the Gym. I'm behind you all the way. See ya!"

Route 119

• Before battle

"<player>! You've been looking for Pokémon here? Huh? That bracelet you've got on… It's like, I don't know, really cool… … Whoa. So that's the Mega Bracelet? And you can use it for Mega Evolution… So you'll just keep getting closer to your Pokémon and getting even stronger… All right, then. I guess I've just gotta help you test how strong you've become, huh? Show me in battle how much better you've gotten! Come on! A battle! I'm challenging you to a battle!"

• Being defeated

"Sheesh, <player>… You've gotten pretty darn decent."

• After being defeated

"I'd say you're good enough to search for Pokémon anywhere by now. Here, I'll give you this, so try it out. You should be able to use it fine."

"With Fly, your Pokémon can carry you back to just about anyplace you've visited before. Of course, you'll need the Fortree Gym Badge first, though… Well, I'm going on ahead. But I'm definitely winning next time!"

Lilycove City

• Before battle

"Hm? Hey, if it isn't <player>! Did you come to do some shopping, too? You know what I'm talking about… The Lilycove Department Store! My dad asked me to pick him up a few things here. It's not like I'm here to buy Dolls or something, r-right! A-anyway, it feels like it's been ages since we last ran into each other. How about I battle you so you can see which one of us is doing a better job raising our Pokémon? Though I think you and I both know who the winner is gonna be, <player>!"

• Being defeated

"Hmm… You've raised your team quite a bit."

• After being defeated

"Boy, that stings a bit… I had a head start on you as a Pokémon Trainer, but still… I, uh… I'm planning on going home to Littleroot. You know how I've been helping out my dad with the Pokédex, and it's been coming together pretty decently. So…I ought to go back home and show it to him. <player>, what are you gonna do? You still thinking of collecting all the Gym Badges and taking on the Pokémon League challenge?"

Yes: "Yeah? I guess I'm not surprised. Do your best. You know I'm behind you."

No: "Huh? Really? I've gotta say, I always kind of thought that you'd go all the way and aim to be Champion."

"…Uhhh. Huh? Did you… <player>, I think there's something… There's something, like, sparkling in your Bag… It's the same kinda light as that Meteorite had, the one you showed me in Lavaridge… Ahhh, never mind! Just… Good luck out there!"

Sootopolis City

"<player>! When I saw the news about Sootopolis on my BuzzNav, and there you were, <player>… Well, anyway, all I could think of was coming to help! You don't know how glad I am to see that you're still in one piece. Bwuh?! Is that Team Aqua? And Team Magma?! OK, I don't really know what to say right now—I'm kind of dumbfounded. Look, I get that this is probably something way bigger than I've ever imagined. So, I won't bother with any questions now. I'm gonna find out what I should do to help, and then I'm going to do whatever I can. You'd better go do the same, <player>. I'll always be right there behind you. You're my best friend, after all!"

• If talked to again

"I'm gonna find out what I should do to help, and then I'm going to do whatever I can. You'd better go do the same, <player>. And I'll always be right there behind you. A-after all…we're friends, right?"

• After having defeated/captured Groudon^OR/Kyogre^AS

"<player>! So it's all over…"

"Phew! It feels like we can finally relax, huh? I guess that now's the time to say thanks for all you've done, <player>. You know, we set out from Littleroot at the same time, but… It seems like you're just dashing ahead by yourself and leaving me behind… I feel like we're not even on the same level anymore, you know? … It's kinda lonely thinking like that… Or it would be if I really thought that! But…well, you did do something pretty amazing. So take it easy for a while, OK, friend? Later!"

Pokémon League

"<player>! Before you go to challenge the Champion, I've got one last thing you've got to… <player>… You didn't… No, you couldn't have… Did you already beat the Champion?!"

"Wha— … Can't be helped, I guess. Them's the rules, right? That's awesome, <player>. Congratulations…really!"

• After having entered the Hall of Fame

"Welcome back, <player>. I just, uh, you know… We set out on this journey together, right? So maybe we should finish it together, too. D-don't go trying to read anything into it, though! Now, come on! We're going home! Back to Littleroot Town!"

Route 103 (post-game, after credits)

"Man, this is nostalgic. Back on Route 103, huh? Remember that pond over there? This is where we battled the first time, huh? Hey, <player>… Do me a favor? Come on! Let's battle one more time! I wanna know about what you saw on your journey, how you felt, and what you experienced out there. I want to know all about you and your Pokémon, <player>. But that's not all… I want you to know all about me and mine!"

• After battle

"… Thanks, <player>! Just what I'd expect from a Champion! Getting to meet so many different people… And so many different Pokémon… It's like… I don't know… It's been really, really fun! Oh! <player>! Look there!"

Battle Maison

• When selected for the Multi Battle challenge

"When it's you and me, <player>, I feel like we can both show off our best sides! Let's do it!"

• After ending the Multi Battle challenge

"Ah. Right. That's too bad, but maybe next time!"

• After 20 consecutive wins at the Multi Battle challenge

"When I'm battling with you, <player>, I feel like I could beat absolutely anyone! Let's totally do it again sometime!"

• After losing the Multi Battle challenge

"Hmm… We didn't seem to have it together this time… Oh well! We'll have to try harder next time!"

Delta Episode

Littleroot Town

• At the start

"Ughhh…"

"It's not that big of a deal, Mom. She just knocked me down a bit… Yowch! That stings! … Oh! H-hey, <player>! Looks like she didn't get you, huh? That's a relief. Everything happened so fast that I couldn't do a thing, but… Some strange woman came in my window, upstairs… And then she… She stole my Key Stone… I tried to fight her off with my team, but… She was unstoppable… I didn't stand a chance… I think I heard her muttering under her breath when she left, though… Something like "Petalburg's next…" …You be careful, <player>."

• At the end

"Well… Bye… … <player>! See you tomorrow!"

Mossdeep Space Center

"That was kinda awesome. Wow. So those are the Litleonids. I'm really gonna have to thank your old man for this one. It's like…I don't know… I feel like I've been knocked flat on my back… …Thanks, <player>. I'm really glad I got to see this with you."

"It's true what they say, though. Time really flies when you're having fun…"

• After appearing, as Brendan

"Nice to meet you. Name's Brendan. I'm a Pokémon Trainer from the Hoenn region."

"So, if all of you are here with Korrina, that must mean..."

"Nice! Do you mind if I join you? I've been wanting to do some training myself!"

"Don't worry about it so much! The most important thing is to have fun."

• Bonds and Brawn

"Be confident! The tighter your bonds get, the stronger you'll become!"

I think you're right!: "Like I said, confidence is key! Looks like you're finally starting to see the possibilities, though."

"We're going to go meet Norman, a Gym Leader from the Hoenn region."

Your dad?!: "Yup. Guess I forgot to mention that part! He's a really strong Trainer, so we gotta get focused."

"Heh. I gotta admit, it makes me happy to hear you talk about my dad like that."

"Come on. I'll take you guys to him!"

• What Lurks in the Wilderness

"There's still a ways to go. Dad always says that the journey's part of the training–that's why he set up camp way out in the mountains."

"That mask... I know all about you! You're those nasty Team Break guys who've been trying to steal people's Pokémon!"

• A Scramble to the Summit!

• Summit Showdown
• Off-screen

"Dad!"

• After appearing

"Oh, I'm so relieved. Looks like you guys are fine."

• Between a Rock and a Hard Place

"<player>! What an awesome battle that was to watch!"

"If you keep improving at this rate, we won't have anything to be afraid of no matter how many of those Team Break thugs we run into!"

"Yeah, we ran into them on the way here, but they were no match for us!"

"Huh?"

• The True Objective

"Whew, I was just starting to wonder what our new life as cave dwellers would be like."

"You're right. I was in shock from how suddenly that all went down, but I can't allow myself to be overcome by my fears."

• Where There's a Will, There's a Way

"We did it! What a huge win for us!"

"Huh? Are you really planning to go with <player>, Dad?"

"Wh-what's going on?!"

"If what they said is true, we can't just stand back and watch this happen."

• Super-Ancient Pokémon and People

"Team Magma and Team Aqua are facing off!"

"That's not true!"

"The two of you have been friends with Groudon and Kyogre so far..."

• In the Shadows of Pasio's Crisis

"It's fine! If they start rampaging again, we'll take care of it!"

"So, the meteor has been destroyed, and Groudon and Kyogre are calm again."

"That means someone must've caused all of this intentionally..."

"Team Rocket!"

"A-Archie?!"

"Of course! Sounds good to me!"

"Quick, get out of here! Leave this to us!"

"You're looking at your opponents right here!"

"Haha! Hope you're prepared, 'cause we're in it to win it!"

"You got it, Dad."

• A Two-Way Street

"Aw, man! I can't believe we lost to them!"

Solo Event - Team Hoenn Unite!

• May as Well Team Up!

"So you're not sure where to start, huh?"

"There's a lot to do here on Pasio, after all..."

Story Event - Pasio Eggsplorers

• A Scrambled Egg?!
• Off-screen, as "???"

"May!"

• After appearing, as Brendan

"I see you matched your outfit with Lopunny! It looks great!"

"Oh, before I forget, I'm on my way to meet up with Barry..."

"I was wondering if you wanted to join us. We haven't battled each other in so long."

"An egg hunt? What's that all about?"

"Aw, man... And here I thought we might be able to have a battle!"

"But I guess I can check out this egg hunt..."

• Ready, Set, Hunt!
• Off-screen

"May!"

• After appearing

"I'm the one who's gonna find that Egg!"

"So it's a showdown, then!"

"Oh, I wanted to ask you. After the egg hunt—"

"H-hey, May..."

"Well...she's busy, so it'll have to wait."

"Hm? Is something wrong, Barry?"

"What?"

"May would never quit being a Trainer and stop battling..."

"I guess you're right..."

"(No, you wouldn't do that...would you, May?)"

• A Toge-pickle

"May..."

"I just can't seem to get the right opportunity..."

"Would you..."

"have a battle with us?!"

"Yes, please!"

"May, please remember..."

"Remember how fun it is to battle!"

"Argh, we lost! But I had so much fun!"

"Did you have fun, too, May?"

"I'm so glad!"

"So...does that mean you're not gonna stop being a Trainer or give up battling for good?"

"Huh? But Barry said..."

"So, you really weren't planning to stop being a Trainer after all?"

"May..."

"Yeah, it's a promise!"

Story Event - Masters of Land and Sea

• Super-Ancient Pokémon Spotted!

"Whoa! That's so cool!"

"Wait, this isn't what I came here for!"

"I have to get back to the Pokémon Center and let Trista know what's going on!"

"And I found Groudon!"

"Since they're both Legendary Pokémon, we thought it best to come here quick and report what we saw before it's too late!"

"I hope it doesn't take too long for them to figure out if it's safe or not..."

"Good idea! Hey, why don't you join us, <player>?"

• A Creeping Crisis

"I guess that's fine, but you better promise me you won't do anything bad on Pasio!"

"We have enough to deal with since Groudon showed up."

"Wait, were you planning to capture him all along?!"

"Oh, it's <player>."

"Wait, what?!"

"Archie's gonna use Kyogre to sink Pasio into the ocean?!"

"OK! I'll see you soon!"

"Wait, you're gonna help us?"

"Fine... You can help us out."

"But don't you dare do anything shady, got it?!"

• Stop Archie!

"I understand your concern, May. But if we don't stop him, it's going to be a disaster."

"I can't just give up and watch that happen!"

"Hold on a second! If Maxie's going to Groudon, what should the rest of us do?"

"Maxie, do you know how you're gonna get Groudon to come with us?"

"Wait, we have to battle Groudon?"

"Of course not! I'm staying!"

"I don't mind! And I'll do what I can to save Pasio!"

"Even if it means I have to battle Groudon!"

"I may not look it, but I'm pretty strong! Leave the battling to me!"

• Maxie's Objective

"This is where I spotted Groudon."

"Whoa! What the—"

"Treecko! Cover Mightyena and corner Groudon!"

• Aqua and Magma Unite!

"We'll help you out!"

Brendan! May!: "We got this! Don't fall behind, May!"

Here we go!: "Yeah! Here comes our full-force attack! These super-ancient Pokémon won't know what hit 'em!"

"Whew! They finally stopped..."

"Yeah, because there aren't any wild Pokémon on Pasio in the first place."

"So...I guess that's the end of that, then?"

"I really hope so..."

"You two better not do anything else extreme just to fulfill your ambitions, got it?!"

Story Event - Pasio Friendiversary

• Spectacular May

"Why don't you get up onstage, too, May?"

"She didn't tell you about this ahead of time?"

"Lisia chose you, right? That means you've got what it takes!"

"I know you'll be awesome up there together with Latias!"

"All right! I'll be cheering for you!"

"Yeah..."

"May's always been the type to treasure her bond with her Pokémon."

"To see May onstage being recognized for that, and to see her have a chance to shine..."

"It's awesome!"

Solo Event - Pasio Gold Rush

• The Mysterious Hikers

"Yeah, I met someone like that in Mauville City! What about you?"

Story Event - Tower Tycoon and Hall Matron

• Barry's Determination

"Yeah! You won't improve if you rush things!"

"Did you two have a fight?"

"Barry..."

"I kinda get how you feel, Barry!"

"I always want to get stronger so that I live up to my dad's expectations!"

• When You Shine

"I'm Brendan! Nice to meet you, Argenta!"

"Yeah! Give it your all, Barry!"

"Palmer would want to see how much you've grown!"

• The Strongest Brain's Back

"Well, things certainly turned around quick!"

"But we won't say no, of course!"

"Right, <player>?"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Brendan

"Oh, there you are, Treecko."

"Wait... <player>?! What are you doing here?!"

"Sorry I startled you. Treecko looked like he was itching for a fight."

No, it's fine!: "Man, Trainers aiming for the top have some guts, don't they?"

I felt my heart skip a beat!: "Sorry, sorry! But in my defense, you did let your guard down."

"Treecko and I were just in the middle of trying to figure out some new tactics."

"Treecko can climb trees and walls using the small hooks on his hands and feet."

"I was just wondering if that would be something we can use on the ground, too."

"As long as I'm here, I'd like to do everything I possibly can!"

"I'm probably going to end up battling my father, too."

"It's a little awkward going up against your own family, isn't it?"

"I mean, it clearly shows you who's stronger, right?"

"And it doesn't matter whether you win or lose. It will still become awkward. I mean...what do you talk about after that?"

"But that wasn't the case for my dad. He lost to me, but he seemed a little happy."

"I don't get it... It's frustrating when you lose, right? At least, I don't like losing."

Then don't battle.: "But I have to!"

Why don't you run away?: "I can't do that!"

"I get to have a strong rival really close by! How could I not battle him?!"

"Besides, I can't say that I'm stronger than him just because I beat him once."

"Maybe if my dad and I had different specialties, like the neighbors do, I wouldn't be so bothered."

Your neighbors?: "Yeah, Professor Birch and May. They're my next-door neighbors."

Specialties?: "Yeah, like Professor Birch and May have. They're my next-door neighbors."

"Professor Birch focuses on his fieldwork, and May focuses on her contests. See? No overlap."

"But thinking like that is just me running away. While clashing can be tough, it might actually be fortunate at the same time."

"My dad is strong and respectable. That's why I want to overcome him."

"And that's why I have to get even better at my specialty!"

"Come on, Treecko! Bullet Seed!"

"Hey, <player>. Let's have a battle sometime!"

"That way I can see how much stronger I've gotten!"

Sync Pair Story - Treecko's Evolution

• Before battle

"Oh hi, Noland! What's a Frontier Brain doing here? Wait, did you just call me a Charmander?"

"Uh, I'm not sure I do, but if it's a Pokémon battle you want, you got it!"

• After defeating Noland

"Wait, doesn't it bother you that you lost?"

"Man, that is one busy guy... Hey! If you ever need somebody to battle again, let me know!"

"Wha...Treecko? Oh, you must have leveled up with that last battle!"

"I'm so excited to see you evolve, Treecko! We're gonna have even more fun together now!"

Sync Pair Story - Grovyle's Evolution

• Before battle

"You bet, Dad!"

"Come on! Let's show him what we can do, Grovyle!"

• After defeating Norman

"All right, Dad. Just don't overdo it, OK? Or else you'll have to answer to Mom again."

"Huh? Grovyle... Are you evolving?!"

"If you become any stronger and cooler, I don't think anyone will have a chance against us!"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Sygna Suit Brendan

"Pasio is a nice place, but for Latios, it's a pretty dramatic change in environment."

"That's why I wanna do anything I can for him!"

"In order to do that, I want to know more about Latios."

"Especially because of what happened before..."

What happened before?: "Well... Y'see, I thought Latios was a Pokémon that doesn't like to fight..."

Did something happen?: "Yeah. There was a small incident..."

"Just over there, we saw a boy surrounded by Team Break."

"I wanted to go help, but Latios stopped me..."

• In flashback

"Why not, Latios? We should go help him!"

"Whoa, look at him go! He defeated Team Break!"

"Yeah, that sync pair was super strong...but they hadn't tapped into that power yet."

• Back to present

"Latios believed the boy could overcome it."

"If I had helped the boy, he might have not been able to learn just how strong he really is..."

"That's when it hit me."

"It's not that Latios is a Pokémon that dislikes flighting^[sic]..."

"It's a Pokémon that knows when it's the right time to fight!"

"Ever since then, I borrow his strength without hesitation when it's the right time to fight."

That's wonderful!: "Yeah, thanks!"

You became close friends!: "Yeah, even more than before!"

"By the way... Change of subject, but there's a rumor that blue and red Pokémon have been spotted flying around different regions."

"Have you seen them, <player>?"

Yup!: "Really? Tell me the details later!"

No, I haven't...: "I see... It must be unusual, then..."

"It seems like my Latios gets pretty lonely sometimes."

"Someday, I want to find if there are any friends for him out there."

• Off-screen

"Well... I guess he seems happy when he's with Latias. "

• On-screen

"Of course, I'll be with Latios from now on, too."

"But I'm sure Latios would be happy if it made even more friends!"

"After all, I was happy when I made a lot of friends on Pasio."

"That feeling must be the same for both people and Pokémon!"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with May

"She must've been really thirsty!"

"And I'm here to help May out!"

"May's always really liked doing fieldwork."

"If I remember correctly, it's because your dad is Professor Birch, right?"

"May's a real go-getter, and she knows a lot about Pokémon, too!"

"That knowledge helped me out a bunch when we were traveling around Hoenn."

"That'd be great! My dad was saying that there's a great cake shop in town!"

"I'll lead the way!"

"Heeey, over here!"

Sync Pair Story - Oshawott's Evolution

• Before battle

"Hey, Hilbert! How's your exploration of Pasio going?"

"Oh, if that's the case, then you should battle me! I'll check just how strong you really are."

"You think you can handle my Grovyle?!"

"Make one mistake against us, and it'll be all over for you!"

• After being defeated

"Ouch! I had no idea anybody could battle like that."

"Sounds like your Pokémon's getting stronger, too, huh? We've gotta make sure we as Trainers can keep up with them!"

Sync Pair Story - Mudkip's Evolution

• Before battle

"Yeah, there are a lot of Trainers here, so it's perfect for learning more about how to battle!"

"What about you, May? Here for some fieldwork?"

"Cool! How about we have a little warm-up before we both get started? Wanna battle?"

"Here we go, then! I'm not holding back!"

• After being defeated

"Haha, you were really strong, May!"

Pokémon Center

• During sync background preview

"Someday, I want to be a great Trainer like my dad!"

• During sync background preview (Sygna Suit)

"We can definitely become friends with any Pokémon!"

• Random conversation

"When I was back in the Hoenn region, my Taillow would curl up on my head whenever it got cold."

"I think it liked it there 'cause my head is warm. It was pretty much Taillow's special spot."

"I don't mind it when it's windy, since it keeps my hat from blowing away, but..."

"I have to admit, Taillow gets a bit heavy when it sits on my head for too long."

• If spoken to again

"I get worried sometimes that Taillow might just go ahead and turn my hat into a full nest."

"In the spring, it even catches the Worm Pokémon Wurmple and leaves them on my hat!"

"Maybe it's too late about the nest thing, huh?"

• Random conversation

"My dad is actually a pretty amazing Gym Leader."

"And my dream is to become a better Pokémon Trainer than my dad!"

"So I want to learn even more about Pokémon and become stronger than I am now."

• If spoken to again

"Someday, I'd love to become a Gym Leader with my favorite Pokémon."

"And be an obstacle for Trainers to overcome, just like my dad."

"In order for my dream to come true, I'd better be able to win in the PML, at least!"

• Random conversation

"You know, I have a friend named May. She's my best rival!"

"I still remember the first time we had a Pokémon battle, back in the Hoenn region."

"I'd never had a heated Pokémon battle like that, where we both give it everything we have!"

• If spoken to again

"May's always cheerful and energetic, but when she watches stars at night, she gets really quiet."

"We were watching shooting stars the other day, and every time she saw one, her eyes lit up."

"Her eyes were really pretty, too, like stars!"

• Random conversation

"You need a rival for a journey, right? Like, a friend who helps you keep going and challenges you to become stronger!"

"Yeah, I've got May, but it's not like we're always together here."

"Besides, I can never have too many rivals."

"Now, I'd really like my rivals to be strong and dependable—like a partner almost, right?"

"You wouldn't happen to know anyone like that, would you, <player>?"

• If spoken to again

"In case it wasn't clear, I was thinking about you when I was talking about all that rival stuff, OK?"

"I might as well be direct. You're definitely one of my rivals now, OK? <player>!"

• Random conversation

"Do you remember what inspired you to become a Pokémon Trainer?"

"For me, it was my dad. I always wanted to be an amazing Trainer like him."

"I've become stronger so that I could catch up to him."

• If spoken to again

"My dad's a Gym Leader, and I've battled him before. I won that time."

"I might have defeated him when he battled me as a Gym Leader, but..."

"I still don't feel like I've really surpassed him yet. He has more knowledge, more experience, more everything."

"So someday, I want to become the better Pokémon Trainer, in every way!"

"That's why I have Pokémon battles every day! I want to really get to know all the Pokémon, just like my dad!"

• Random conversation

"As I've watched you get stronger, I've started feeling something. I think it's anxiousness?"

"Until now, all I really thought about was overtaking my dad. But now, you're on my mind."

"I don't want you to leave me behind—or even catch up to me! That's what helps me become even stronger."

"I've said it before and I'll say it again: you're definitely my rival!"

• If spoken to again

"I'm glad you're my rival, you know. It's helped me become even stronger!"

"I guess this is what you call a healthy rivalry."

"Finding a worthy opponent, and competing with them as rivals..."

"Don't you think it's a good way to be? You'd better stay sharp. You're one of my best rivals now!"

• Random conversation*

"The other day, I was wondering where my Treecko went. Turns out, he was clinging to the ceiling!"

"I was looking at him, wondering what he was up to, when he suddenly came diving down onto my face."

"Seems like it's his new hobby or something. He surprised me, but I did get a good laugh, too!"

• If spoken to again

"I told you about my Treecko and his new hobby of diving onto people's faces, right?"

"Well, we smacked heads when he tried that last time. Ever since then he's become a bit more careful before he dives."

"It's really funny watching Treecko carefully line up his jump!"

• Random conversation (Sygna Suit)

"Hey, what do you think of this sygna suit? Personally, I love it! It's so cool and stylish!"

"May even said it was a fresh new look for me since I'm not wearing a hat!"

• Random conversation (Sygna Suit)

"Latios has the ability to make people see images of what it has seen or imagines in its head."

"But my Latios is actually kinda shy."

"Earlier he was acting so fidgety, I was wondering what was up..."

"And it turned out he just wanted to tell me he was hungry! Isn't that cute?"

• Random conversation (Sygna Suit)

"Apparently Latios doesn't really like fighting."

"I think that's one of Latios's strengths, actually. He doesn't battle for no reason."

"I tend to rush straight into things myself, so the two of us are a perfectly balanced team!"

• Random conversation (Sygna Suit)

"Latios has been with me since we traveled around Hoenn together."

"So I know his skills and strengths better than anyone!"

"But when I told him that, he almost seemed to blush!"

• Random conversation (Sygna Suit)

"Is there anywhere you want to go, <player>? Latios and I can take you!"

"Just about anywhere's only a quick flight away if we ride on Latios's back!"

"You do have to be careful, though. Sometimes Latios has so much fun flying, he gets a bit carried away."

"Then he'll speed up so fast, he sends nearby Pelipper spinning in his wake!"

• Random conversation (Sygna Suit)

"I went on a bike ride with May the other day."

"My Latios was really happy that May brought her Latias along with her."

"While May and I were cycling, Latios and Latias were flying in happy circles above us."

• If spoken to again

"I've made a lot of new friends since coming to Pasio."

"But it's just as important to spend quality time with old friends, too."

• Random conversation (Sygna Suit)

"Apparently Latios will only become friendly with those who have a compassionate spirit."

"So I guess that must mean I've got a compassionate spirit, right?"

"Haha... I'm trying not to blush!"

• If spoken to again

"I'm pretty sure there's an awful lot of compassionate Trainers in the world."

"But Latios chose me!"

"I'm so happy about that—and proud, too!"

• Special log-in conversation (generic)

"Oh, <player>, I've been waiting for you! Come on. Let's get going!"

"I think we're gonna meet lots of different Pokémon today!"

• Special log-in conversation (afternoon) (Sygna Suit)

"I used to daydream about drifting through the sky like a cloud... But did you know that clouds actually move super fast?!"

• Special log-in conversation (evening) (Sygna Suit)

"Phew... I think I'm gonna call it a day soon. Time to rest up and get ready for more adventures tomorrow!"

• Special gift conversation

"Oh, I was just looking for you!"

"You can have this. My Pokémon found it stuck in a tree."

• After giving out item

"It was a pretty good item, right?"

"I personally like it a lot, so I hope it comes in handy for you, too!"

• Special gift conversation (Sygna Suit)

"Oh, there you are! Here, this is for you!"

• After giving out item

"Latios wanted to give you a present! Use it well!"

• Special Happy New Year 2021 log-in conversation with Wally and May

"We got you something, too!"

"I already used up the present my dad gave me, though."

• Special Sword and Shield promotional conversation

"I traveled with a Zigzagoon back in Hoenn that always came through for me in a pinch. His Cut could slice through anything!"

"Speaking of Zigzagoon, my dad told me that in the Galar region they look different from the ones we usually see."

"I hear they like to battle but have a cute side and like to play with people, too."

"And get this! They can apparently evolve a second time—after evolving into Linoone! Isn't that awesome?!"

"I wonder what they look like. I'd love to see one someday!"

"If we can, let's go together!"
