In the core series games

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Mossui Town

• First encounter

"Sis! Look! There! There's one now!"

"Whoa... Way cool..."

"C-c'mon, Sis... You just wanna battle. Makin' this big fuss over nothing..."

"Aw man..."

• If the player defeats Carmine

"Wowzers! You went and beat my sis?!"

"B-but I... Wait up, Sis!"

• If the player loses against Carmine

"Wowzers! You're almost as strong as my sis!"

"B-but I... Wait up, Sis!"

• The next day, outside the community center

"I-I'm...Kieran..."

"R-right..."

• If talked to

"Aw man..."

• After the player talks to Carmine

"S-Sis! What're you tellin' him/her that for, dummy!"

"Aw man..."

"What?! W-wowzers, really? You don't mind?!"

"I-I got this!"

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "Wowzers... I can't believe this... I get to battle you! This is awesome!"

After the player first lands a super-effective move: "Oof, ehehe... I guess I got a lot of weaknesses..."

After the player first lands a not very effective move: "H-hey, you're not holding back, are ya? I... I wouldn't really like that..."

After the player first lands a critical hit: "Huh?! How'd that happen?! Aw man, even luck's on your side..."

Upon first using Yanma's Air Cutter: "You got this, Yanma! C-cut through the wind and show 'em what you've got!"

Upon first using Yanma's Bug Buzz: "You got this, Yanma! Buzz those wings!"

Upon being defeated: "Wowzers..."

• After battle

If the player won: "W-wowzers! You sure are strong, <player>!"

If the player lost: "That was some kinda battle! I bet you're something else when you're not holdin' back, <player>!"

"I dunno about that..."

"What?! No, Sis, don't—!"

"Well...no, but... Aw man..."

"U-um... So it looks like...we should probably start with the signboard at...Loyalty Plaza... That's out past the apple orchards on the west side of the village... It's close by. And I figure it might, um, make sense to...y'know...visit them all in order... I'll probably just get in your way if I stick too close, so I'll just...follow you from a safe distance!"

Loyalty Plaza

"That's the first signboard..."

"S-sorry, did I startle ya? I-I did mention that I'd hang back an' follow you here..."

"We're s'posed to read the signboard, right?"

"Oh, I already know the whole story, so...g-go ahead. You should check it out."

"The Loyal Three Monument is right over there... But don't you think the ogre in that folktale sounds kinda...cool?"

Yeah, it sure does!: "Right?! I knew you'd get it, <player>! It was up against three whole opponents at once, battling it out all by itself—wowzers, that's so cool!"

You think...?: "C'mon, it was all alone! The battle was three against one, but the ogre still managed to hold its own. That's way cool!"

"Oh... But I guess most people would just think an ogre like that is scary, huh? I don't think there's any reason to be afraid..."

"When I was little, I went up into the mountain so many times at night—all on my own—an' I never once met that ogre. Only scary thing that happened was the grown-ups givin' me a real earful about it..."

"Umm... So yeah, we're s'posed to take a photo in front of the signboard, right? I don't have a smartphone... Could you...?"

"That turned out great. You're even good at taking photos..."

Thanks!: "S-sorry... Not trying to butter you up or anythin'..."

You wanna try?: "Oh! No! I didn't mean— M-maybe...next time..."

"Y'know...I didn't wanna have to come do this whole school trip thing, but...well...it might actually be kinda fun..."

"I get to be out in nature around my hometown...and talk to you, <player>..."

"H-hey, if you want, maybe we could set up a picnic. Would you like a sandwich—?"

"Gyah! Wh-what is that thing?! Some kinda...kaiju or somethin'?!"

Regardless of choice: "It's called Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V? And you ride on it, huh...? I've never seen another Pokémon like this..."

"And it seriously comes out whenever it hears the word "sandwich"?"

"Never thought I'd actually get to meet such an awesome Pokémon."

"No wonder you're so strong, <player>... You're...you're special."

"So, the next—! Errr, we should go find the next signboard! It's on the grounds of Kitakami Hall. Um, Kitakami Hall is... Well, first double back to town from here, then there's this bridge you cross, and from there, you'll need to climb up the mountainside. I'll hang back for now an' meet you there later!"

Kitakami Hall

"That's the second signboard. Bit tricky to find, huh?"

"S-sorry... I'm followin' at a distance, so...I...I hope you can get used to me showing up like this."

"Now then, let's read the sign..."

"Did you read it...?"

"The masks the Loyal Three stole are kept over at Kitakami Hall. Everyone in town is scared of the ogre...but me? I really like it."

"It was strong...and cool...and it didn't even care when everyone shunned it... I've always wanted to be like that, ever since I was a kid."

"I want to be as cool as the ogre."

"My sis sorta ends up doin' everything for me...even when we're at school..."

"I...wanna try to get stronger. So I can do things for myself, you know? I'm gonna become someone people can rely on. Then, just maybe...I could be that ogre's friend."

"Oh! Um...right. Picture. We're s'posed to take a picture! You can take the next one, too, if you don't mind, <player>..."

"Phew. I knew it was the right call to let you handle it, <player>. Now, on to the next signboard..."

"Oh. And you know the mountain the stories say the ogre lives on? It's actually Oni Mountain. You can climb it from the stairs over there."

"If you wanted, we could...go see the ogre's home? Folks call it the Dreaded Den."

I wanna see it!: "Y-yes! I really...wanted you to see it for yourself, <player>!"

Hmm, I dunno...: "You don't have to if you don't wanna...but...I'd really like to show you it. You know?"

"So...if you keep climbing up, you'll reach the Infernal Pass. There's a sign before that... If you turn at the sign, you can get to the Dreaded Den."

"S-so I'll just head on up, then. Come along when you're ready. An' be careful!"

Dreaded Den

"<player>! Didja have trouble getting across that narrow path?"

"There it is...the Dreaded Den. This is s'posed to be the ogre's home... At least, that's what everyone says. I come here all the time, but I'VE never seen it..."

"Maybe a powerful ogre like that would only show up if it heard some kinda battle goin' on..."

"O-oh yeah... I think I've gotten a bit stronger since the last time we battled, so...y'know...if you wanted to...we could battle?"

Let's do it!: "All right! Though, uh, we should heal up our teams first."

I don't know...: "C'mon... I'll even heal up your Pokémon for you first, <player>. So please..."

"I'll give it all I got. I-I got this!"

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "Th-this time...I'll put up a good fight!"

After the player first lands a super-effective move: "But that was just one attack! Aw man, it did so much damage..."

After the player first lands a critical hit: "Whoa, that attack made my heart skip a beat..."

Upon first using Furret's Quick Attack: "Come on, Furret! Slam right into 'em!"

Upon first using Poliwhirl's Take Down: "Come on, Poliwhirl! Charge at 'em with everything you got!"

Upon being defeated: "Aw man... I lost..."

• After being defeated

"I knew it... You really are strong, <player>. How am I ever gonna be able to beat you? If the ogre saw that battle, I'm sure it'd be thinking "That kid's got real strength...""

"See, my school...Blueberry Academy... It's a school that specializes in teachin' the art of Pokémon battlin'. If I was as strong as you...maybe I could aim to be the best Trainer there."

"Let's go have a look at the ogre's den."

"Watch your head."

"See how dark it is in here? And cramped... Even the floor's all rough and uneven."

"Living all alone in a place like this would get pretty miserable, don't you think?"

"Poor ogre... We have plenty of room at our house. I would've totally let it stay with us..."

You're a sweet kid, Kieran: "N-no, I'm not! I've just...always liked the stories about the ogre, that's all..."

When can I move in?: "I don't know if we'd have room for the both of you, <player>..."

"B-but...if the ogre really did show up to stay at our place, I'm sure the whole town would freak."

"Whoa, no way... The sun's already gone down?"

"I guess we'll have to save the last signboard for tomorrow..."

"Oh! I almost forgot! Today's the first day of the Festival of Masks over at Kitakami Hall."

"It's this big event where everyone puts on masks and runs around celebratin'... I mean, it's not like you've gotta go or anything, but if you wanted to...y'know...check it out...well, it'd be fun."

Let's go together!: "Y-yeah! Why not!"

It does sound fun: "I, um...I can show you to it!"

"It'd be great to go together..."

"There's just a few things we'd have to get ready first, so we should swing by my house before heading to the festival. We live in the northwest corner of the village. It's...um...let's see, I could maybe draw a map..."

"Oh, your Rotom Phone has a map in it, huh? You want me to register it on your map? Yeah, I could give that a try..."

"Wowzers! It sure is handy having a map that shows you everything right there in your phone... I'm gonna ask if I can get a Rotom Phone someday too!"

"I'll be right behind you, if you wanna head to my family's place first. See you there!"

Mossui Town

• At his grandparents' house, on the first night of the Festival of Masks

"Grandpa! I'm home!"

"Oh, um... This is <player>... He's/She's part of the same school trip as me and Sis."

"What?! R-really?! We're friends? F-friends... I feel all tingly and funny hearing that... Ehehe..."

"Y...yeah! This is <player>."

"<player>, this is my grandma."

"Hear that? We get to dress up in jinbei! Yay!"

"Whoa..."

"<player> said...he'd/she'd go to the Festival of Masks with me..."

"What's it matter anyway! What're YOU doin' back here?!"

"Wait—Sis! You're such a cheater!"

"Sis, <player>'s here."

• After the player defeats Carmine

"I-it's OK, <player>... You can just wear my mask."

"Yeah, but—"

"Oof... Sorry, <player>... I know my sis seems kinda harsh, b-but she's really not all that bad... Actually, she was tearin' the shed apart, tryin' to find a third mask for you before you got there... O-oh, but, uh, don't tell her I told you that, <player>!"

"The Festival of Masks is held up at Kitakami Hall. W-we should probably get going..."

Kitakami Hall

"This is the Festival of Masks! Today's just the first day. It'll keep going for a while..."

"It's OK, <player>. Just ignore her..."

"Ow! You're steppin' on my toe, Sis!"

"Hehehe..."

"N-nothin'! I was just thinkin' it was funny that, like...you don't know anything about the ogre..."

"S-sorry..."

"Oh, look! They've got candy apples! Let's go check out the stalls!"

• If the player tries to leave the area

"H-heeey! Over here!"

• When talked to at the candy apple stand

"E-excuse me... Two candy apples, please..."

"Uh, here, <player>... You can have one."

Regardless of choice: "Grandma gave me some pocket money, so it's no big deal."

"I love candy apples. You don't get to eat 'em every day, y'know? Grandma always just makes us mochi as a snack... There's even a Pokémon in Kitakami that looks like a little ol' candy apple—didja know that?"

"Hey, let's check that out over there!"

• When talked to at the Ogre Oustin' counter

"Oh, you're gonna try it, <player>? I'll, uh...I'll cheer you on from...a safe distance..."

"Go get 'er, <player>!"

• After the player completes Ogre Oustin'

"N-no..."

"Ugh... Sorry she's causin' such a scene. Don't worry—I'll deal with her. Why don'tcha go wander around a bit in the meantime?"

• If talked to

"I'll deal with my sis. You go and explore for a bit, <player>."

• If talked to after finding Ogerpon

"I don't wanna pop the Ogre Balloons, but my sis keeps insistin' I do it..."

• After the player catches up to Ogerpon

"<player>! Sis! What're you guys doin' over here?"

"Wh-what? Why're you yellin' all of a sudden, Sis?"

"Huh. Oh, I get it. I bet you were makin' fun of me behind my back..."

"I'm just...gonna head back to the festival..."

• If talked to

"Had enough of the festival?"

No: "The festival isn't gonna end anytime soon. Don't overdo it, 'K?"

Yes: "Well then, guess we should head home. I'll walk you back to the community center."

Mossui Town

• The next day, at his grandparents' house

"Hey, <player>! G'mornin'!"

"Wanna go see the last signboard?"

"Seriously? He's/She's spending all his/her time with you... That's so unfair! You can be such a jerk..."

"Hmph!"

• Outside of Peachy's

"Oh, uh... H-hey, <player>. So, I...I was gonna ask. What were you and my sis just, uh...talkin' about?"

Regardless of choice: "Oh, I-I see..."

"S-so! About those signs! The last one's a bit of a hike away. It's in the Paradise Barrens on the other side of Oni Mountain. We'll need to head over the mountain and down toward the northwest... You go on ahead. I'll catch up."

"Why...why'd you lie to me...?"

Paradise Barrens

"These are the Paradise Barrens. Pretty lonely place, huh?"

"According to the old legends, the ogre used to be seen around here lots."

"Hey, before we check out the sign...could you...battle me...?"

Let's do it!: "'K, let me heal up our Pokémon"

I dunno...: "I promise I'll heal up your Pokémon and all, so please, <player>?"

"This time...I'll win!"

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "I...I wanna win! I wanna win, so...I got this!"

After the player first lands a super-effective move: "Ack, I shoulda thought things through! It...it wasn't supposed to go like this..."

After the player first lands a critical hit: "No! Oh no, I can't keep up..."

Upon sending out last Pokémon: "Why...why does it have to be like this? Why?"

Upon first using Dipplin's Syrup Bomb: "You got this, Dipplin! Get 'em all covered in syrup!"

Upon being defeated: "I-it's all...'cause I'm too weak..."

• After being defeated

"I lost..."

"It's because I'm weak... That's why I..."

"We should go check out the sign... Come on, let's get this over with."

"In the old days, everyone carried masks wherever they went. And...the one who made those masks was actually my great-great-great-grandpa's great-great-great-grandpa...or something."

Regardless of choice: "I mean, I don't think any of that stuff about the ogre stealing souls is true or anything, but... it is true that our family used to make masks"

"Our family... has a long line of mask makers. Even my gramps can make 'em."

"I even heard that the reason we hold the Festival of Masks is 'cause our ancestors came up with the idea."

"But I don't really like what they wrote on this sign here..."

"Just because the ogre seemed sorta scary, everyone got all afraid of it and drove it away from the village"

"But I'm pretty sure the ogre must've been lonely on its own."

"Left all alone like that... Treated like some kind of outcast..."

You're right: "You think so too...huh, <player>?"

Sorry...: "...For what?"

"Wanna take that last photo?"

"Well, we're all done with our assignment now."

"But I've gotta get stronger with my Pokémon..."

"...I'm gonna head home."

Mossui Town

• The next day, at his grandparents' house

"Mornin', Grandpa."

"Yeah, yeah. Do whatever you want, Sis."

"I got stuff to do, OK?"

Loyalty Plaza

"<player>..."

"You two knew, didn't you? You knew that the ogre wasn't the real bad guy in the stories..."

"The Loyal Three were the real bad guys, but the ogre's the one that gets treated like an outcast!"

"And you two did the same thing to me!"

"You treated ME like an outcast when you went an' met with the ogre!"

"You're no different than those villagers back then... You know how much I love the ogre! You acted like you didn't know anything, but you were laughing at me behind my back all along!"

"Liar! You're a LIAR!!!"

"<player>... Battle me. If you win, I'll give you back the mask."

"So c'mon... Battle me already!"

OK, I will: "OK... Let's do this, then."

Are you sure...?: "I...I need this battle."

"Get to your position. I'm not gonna hold anything back, you hear me!"

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "I know this isn't right, but...I can't just hand over the mask to you!"

After the player first lands a super-effective move: "I can come back from this! I got this... I got this!"

After the player first lands a critical hit: "What can't you do? You're like the hero in a story..."

After first landing a super-effective move on the player's Pokémon: "That got you good, huh? I can beat you, <player>... I WILL win!"

After first landing a critical hit on the player's Pokémon: "Yes, got 'em! I just gotta keep up the momentum now!"

Upon first using Poliwrath's Hydro Pump: "I need to get this right... I'm gonna make sure to give the right commands!"

Upon being defeated: "Why...? Why can't I be as good as you..."

• After being defeated

"Aw...man... Aaaagh!"

"Owww..."

"Here. I promised."

"Say hi to the ogre for me."

"I'm goin' home."

Dreaded Den

"Ah—they ran away!"

"<player>... I... Uh..."

"A-about the mask. I just got so angry, and..."

"What I did was real dumb..."

"So... I'm sorry."

Regardless of choice: "Thanks, <player>..."

"It's really you... The real-life ogre... Wowzers... You're really something!"

"This is...for you, dear ogre."

"... ... ..."

"I don't think it'll take the mask if I'm the one giving it back. You should be the one to do it, <player>."

"... ... ..."

"Did those... Did those three Pokémon take the masks that were in Kitakami Hall?"

"I can come too?"

With Carmine: "We can do this!"

Reveler's Road

"I bet it doesn't wanna go into the village. The villagers did a pretty good job of chasin' it away back then, so..."

"D-do you think it'll be OK?"

"Looks like it understood that!"

Mossui Town

• If talked to

"I-I'm not big on goin' up and just talkin' to people, even if we're all from the same village..."

Reveler's Road

"... ... ..."

"OK, well, here's what I heard..."

"I'm...I'm not goin'."

"As long as <player>'s around, I'm sure Ogerpon will feel safe..."

"'Sides, I got things to do..."

"Sorry!"

Loyal Three battles*

"<player>! Sis!"

"Well, uh...I...I wanted to ask a favor..."

"I wanted you to come to the village. An' bring the ogre with you..."

Regardless of choice: "You gotta trust me. It'll be OK. I promise..."

"Th-that's all I wanted to ask! Just come!"

Reveler's Road

"D-don't worry! It'll be fine!"

"I-I know you must be scared, Ogerpon, but I did my best... So...just trust me and come with me, OK?"

Mossui Town

"From now on, you can come to the village whenever you want...and you don't need to hide your face when you do!"

Dreaded Den

"Hey, hold up!"

"If it's not gonna stay here, then I... I wanna..."

"I want Ogerpon to come with me!"

"I know I'm bein' real selfish... But, <player>! Please! Let me battle you! I want to see which one of us should get to keep Ogerpon with them!"

"...I want to battle anyway."

"So let me know once you're ready."

• If talked to

"You ready to battle...?"

No: "... ... ..."

Yes: "Well then, let's get started..."

"Whoever wins gets to be Ogerpon's partner... So don't...don't you dare hold back!"

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "I know you're probably a better Trainer for Ogerpon, but I...I..."

After the player first lands a super-effective move: "You're not holding back... Thank you. But I won't hold back either!"

After the player first lands a critical hit: "Guess luck isn't on my side... But it doesn't matter—I got this!"

Upon sending out last Pokémon: "It's not over yet! I...I'm tired of losing!"

Upon first using Gliscor's Dual Wingbeat: "It doesn't matter how strong my opponent is... I gotta face 'em head on! Get 'em with your wings!"

Upon first using Gliscor's Aerial Ace: "It doesn't matter how strong my opponent is! This attack'll get 'em every time!"

Upon being defeated: "...Figures."

• After being defeated

"I knew I couldn't win. But I just couldn't give up..."

"I'm sorry..."

• In battle, watching the player fight Ogerpon

After the player first lands a critical hit: "You really are good, <player>... I'm no match."

• After the player catches Ogerpon

"Con...congratulations..."

Regardless of choice: "Yeah..."

"Why...why can't I be like you, <player>?"

"Uwaaaaaaaaah!"

Mossui Town

• In his room

"I need to become..."

"I need to become...a lot stronger."

"Stronger. Stronger! Stronger and stronger and stronger!"

"Just you wait, <player>..."

Central Plaza

"Are you kidding me?! What, was this assignment too hard for you too?"

"I thought I told you to train five Pokémon to battle with."

"Oh. Got it."

"So that means you're just OK being this weak forever? That what I'm hearing?"

"Well, since you're so busy, I'll go ahead and do you a favor."

"I'll write your resignation from the club for you."

"I don't need people in my club who don't take it seriously."

Blueberry Academy Cafeteria

"...What did you want to talk to me about?"

"What a waste of time... If you've got so much time to goof off, why don't you go train your Pokémon? You think maybe this is why you always lose to me?"

"Huh—?! <player>?!"

Regardless of choice: "Wh-why...?"

"For real?"

"... ... ..."

"... ... ..."

"It doesn't matter who I'm facing..."

"I don't lose."

"... ... ..."

Blueberry Academy Entrance

"No, he's telling the truth."

"I'm allowing <player> to join the BB League."

"I've got a feeling you're trying to play puppet master... But if I get a shot at battling <player>, then that's fine with me."

"<player>..."

"You better not go losing to anyone until our battle."

Regardless of choice: "Good. I'm not a little kid anymore. And you'll know it when I show you how the best of the best battle."

"Shut it, Sis."

"Looking forward to seeing you climb the ranks."

After the second Elite Four member is defeated

"Seems like things are going well with the BB League... Right, <player>?"

"I was getting worried. It'd be so disappointing if <player> had gotten weaker."

"But you seem as strong as ever, thankfully. <player>...go all the way. Don't go losing."

"I can't show you how strong I've gotten if you don't even make it to me."

After the last Elite Four member is defeated

"You really kept me waiting."

"Took you a while to beat the Elite Four. Kind of slow for you, isn't it?"

"I could say the same thing about you, Drayton."

"You sure are putting a lot of effort into helping <player> out."

"That's rich coming from you..."

"Whatever you're planning, it's about to come to an end."

"<player>."

"Let's settle who's the strongest between us two, once and for all."

Blueberry Academy Entrance

"Kept me waiting."

"I worked so hard for a chance to show you what I can really do, <player>."

"I put everything into studying and making my Pokémon stronger..."

"I crushed the Elite Four and became Champion..."

"All that hard work... All of it..."

"All of it was just so that I could beat you—right here, right now!"

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "I know I'm making the right choice... You'll understand that soon enough!"

After the player first lands a super-effective move: "Ack, wowzers... Doesn't matter if the type matchups work out for you, though—I'll still win!"

Upon first landing a super-effective move: "How do you like that? See how hard I've trained? Not like the kid you battled in Kitakami, huh?!"

After the player first lands a critical hit: "Even luck's chosen you over me... It's not fair! It's JUST NOT FAIR!!!"

If the player sends out Ogerpon: "You've got some nerve... Bringing out the ogre NOW of all times?!"

Upon sending out last Pokémon: "Just go down already! How are you still standing after I've thrown everything I have at you?!"

Upon Terastallizing Hydrapple: "I don't need the old me anymore! I've changed... and I'll show you I can change again!"

Upon first using Hydrapple's Fickle Beam: "I'm capable of winning too, you know... Victory will be mine and mine alone!!!"

Upon being defeated: "Wha... Huh?"

• After being defeated

"No... why?! This wasn't supposed to happen!"

"Urgh! No...no, no, no!"

*mumble mumble*

"...win...next time..."

"I won't lose... Next time, for sure, I'll... I'll win. Next time... I'll win..."

Regardless of choice: "<player>, I... Awww..."

"... ... ..."

• If talked to

  "Aw, man..."

Classroom 1-4

"... ... ..."

"...Terapagos? A Legendary Pokémon?"

"...I'm going."

"If there's a Legendary Pokémon there, I want to find it... And catch it. This time... I won't let this chance go."

Blueberry Academy entrance

"Yeah, me too."

"I've had time to calm down."

"I'm fine.. I know what I have to do now."

"I'll find this Legendary Pokémon in Area Zero... No matter what it takes!"

Area Zero

"Wowzers..."

"Uh, So you've been here before, right, <player>?"

Yeah, with my friends!: "Friends, huh?"

Yeah, with my buddies!: "Buddies, huh?"

"So you came here with <player> back then too, huh?"

"So this is the deepest point in Area Zero?"

"Gate's closed, though."

"Wowzers, this feels like a spy movie or somethin'... Way cool..."

"What? I didn't say anything."

• If talked to

"Wow, that panel disables the lock on the gate, huh?"

"I mean, uh...whatever."

• Upon inspecting the panel

"Huh?! It's talking!"

"... ... ..."

"Look at that! It opened."

• If talked to after the lab opens

"Is that Legendary Pokémon gonna be inside?"

Zero Lab

"That's 'cause you're just running around without any idea where you're going!"

"Shut it..."

"Where's Ms. Briar, anyway?"

"Aren't those someone's private photos and stuff? We probably shouldn't be looking at all that…"

• If talked to

  "... ... ..."

  "... ... ..."

• Inside the elevator

"Hey... everyone?"

"That panel we used to unlock the gate... Didn't it say something about where the elevator goes?"

"... ... ..."

Area Zero Underdepths

"H-hey..."

"What's... all this stuff?"

"The Legendary Pokémon Terapagos... That's the hidden treasure... of Area Zero..."

"C'mon, let's hurry up and go further in."

"Yeah, we're not going any further with this in the way."

"OK, so what do we do, then?"

• After the player defeats the Glimmora

"Whoa, it disappeared."

"... ... ..."

"Well, the only way to know if it was the hidden treasure or not is to keep going. Come on."

• After the player defeats the Garganacl

"M-maybe she'd/he'd rather have you do it..."

"H-heeey! The path opened up! We can keep going!"

"No. Not really..."

"Just feels like we're all relying a bit too much on her/him is all..."

"We... should keep going."

"My Tera Orb! I think it's… reacting to something?"

"The hidden treasure!"

"The hidden treasure... Where is it?!"

"This stone's the hidden treasure?"

"If I can get the hidden treasure of Area Zero..."

"I... I can FINALLY beat <player>!"

"Shut it, Sis!"

"<player> has everything I've ever wanted!"

"She's/He's got strong Pokémon! She/He can go anywhere she/he wants, and she/he can be friends with anyone!"

"I loved Ogerpon since forever ago! But even Ogerpon chose her/him over me!"

"Even YOU, Sis! You were being all nasty toward her/him at first, but then boom! You were like best friends in no time!"

"I've got nothing... I worked so hard, and for what?! I STILL lost in the end! This... this is all I have left now!"

• Upon Terapagos awakening

"No..."

"You're MINE!"

"F-finally..."

"Well, you heard her, <player>..."

"I'm also itching to see what Terapagos can do. Get ready so we can start."

• When talked to

"Are you ready?"

Yes: "All right, get in position."

No: "You'd better not run away from this, OK?"

"I hope you've braced yourself."

"This time.. I'll definitely beat you, <player>!"

• In battle

After sending out Terapagos: "Go, Terapagos! Show <player> what you're made of!"

Upon Terapagos changing form: "So this is the hidden treasure's true form?! With this... I can win for sure!"

After the player first lands a super-effective move: "Huh, it has a weakness? I thought this was the hidden treasure of Area Zero?!"

After the player first lands a critical hit: "How can you get critical hits, even at a time like this... What are you, the hero of this story?!"

• After being defeated

"Wh-Why?!"

"I thought if I just had Terapagos—If I had the hidden treasure of Area Zero, it... it would make me stronger..."

"I thought it'd let me beat <player>!"

"So... Terapagos isn't the hidden treasure of Area Zero?"

"Got it!"

• After Kieran Terastallizes Terapagos

"O-OK!"

"Come back, Terapagos!"

"Huh...?"

"It won't go back inside? Wh-Why…?"

• During the battle with Terapagos

At the start of the battle: "N-no... This wasn't supposed to happen... This is all my fault!"

After Terapagos enters its second phase: "I–It's no good! I'm useless..."

After Terapagos enters its third phase: "B-but.. I can't... I can't help anyone..."

When Kieran first joins the battle: "O-OK! I'll help out, too!"

Catch: "I know I can count on you, <player>. You got this!"

Don't catch: "You need to catch it, <player>... It has to be you, not me!"

• After the player catches Terapagos

"I...I messed up too..."

"I looked up to <player> for so long... I wanted to be like her/him so, so badly. I didn't know what else to do... But I guess I don't have it in me to be like her/him after all."

"Finally... Finally I can let it go."

Regardless of choice: "B-but... *sniff* I just... *sniffle*"

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Blueberry Academy entrance

"Hey... <player>!"

"L-look, I know I caused a lot of trouble for the League Club and everyone..."

"I wanted to give everybody a proper apology..."

"Including you, <player>..."

"So... I'm sorry!"

"And...uh...I guess what I'm trying to say is..."

"I wanna make things right."

"So do you think… we could start over from zero and be friends again?"

Mossui Town

• At his house

"<player>! Oh man, it's been a long time! Thanks so much for coming! Sorry that I couldn't come meet you at the bus stop. Things have been crazy at home..."

Regardless of choice: "Ehehe... Thanks! But wait—did you come all by yourself?"

"W-well, I don't know about that, but..."

"Well, I'm Kieran. I met <player> when he/she came here for that school trip. That's when we became friends. Um...what else...? Oh, I'm a student at Blueberry Academy. Er, I mean, I WAS a student there—I'm on a break right now."

"Wow, your friends seems like a quirky group. Kinda like you, huh? Anyways, a friend of <player>'s is a friend of mine! I hope you all have a good time staying in Kitakami!"

"I, uh...what?"

"Does she want me to go with her? Am I supposed to go battle her...?"

Regardless of choice: "Aw man... She's just as pushy as Sis is...but, like... different."

• At the community center, if talked to

"I got completely destroyed... Who the heck IS Nemona, anyway?"

She's a Champion!: "Wait, she's a Champion in the Paldea region?! OK, yeah, it makes sense she's so good, then."

She's my rival!: "You consider her a rival, <player>? OK, yeah, it makes sense she's so good, then."

"B-but...I couldn't beat you..."

"... ... ..."

"Yeah. That's true."

"N-not at all! It was a lot of fun! Yeah... I really had a lotta fun!"

"Sis! You OK?"

"S-sorry, everybody, but could you help me just, uh...just carry my sis somewhere safe?!"

• At his house

"She should be OK... Gramps and Grandma look after her during the day, but they must've taken their eyes off her for just a sec earlier... Sorry for making you all help out with...that."

"She's not usually like that."

"I think she was just really excited to get to meet you all."

"Y-yeah. That's...that's gotta be why she's dancing that weird dance and screaming "Mochi mochi"..."

Regardless of choice: "I mean...she's been like that since I sent you that letter, <player>. She was already dancin' and all by the time I woke up the next day. No explanation. ...I guess that really isn't normal, is it? Maybe the other folks in town are right... Maybe this really IS a curse..."

"I don't know... <player> already took care of the whole thing with Ogerpon and the Loyal Three..."

"My sis may have no filter...and be inconsiderate...and push people's buttons...but I'd still rather see her be her old self than whatever this is!"

"Wha—?"

"Y...you guys sure? You don't mind?"

Regardless of choice: "<player>... No, all of you... Thank you! It's too late to start today, but I'd be real grateful if you all could help me out tomorrow! First we're gonna have a proper welcome party tonight at the community center!"

• If talked to before returning to the community center

"All your friends are really good people. I'm jealous!"

• Upon entering the community center

"You find Peachy's all right?"

"Oh yeah, the old lady who runs it steps away sometimes, so everybody does that. No worries."

"Oh—the caretaker hid the remote somewhere, so that video's all we can get on the TV."

"Oh! Uh... Huh. Why didn't I think of that?"

"H-how about this, then..."

"Let's say that whoever finds the remote gets to decide what we do!"

• If talked to whole searching for the remote

"Hmmm, the caretaker never really goes through here, does he? Maybe it's somewhere else..."

• After finding the remote

"Wowzers! 'Course you found it first, <player>!"

"She didn't head into the rooms in the back either. I was by the door to the hallway this whole time."

"So...does that help us figure out where she is?"

"Maybe she forgot to get something at the shop? I just hope she didn't wander out of town... Kitakami's dangerous at night if you don't know your way around."

"...I think <player> and I should go look outside. Arven, Penny—can you two stay here for now?"

"What if she comes back while we're all out? We have a better chance of finding her if you stay here, and you can call us if she does."

"Let's go, <player>."

• After leaving the community center

"Huh? There's still some people out? It's hard to tell with the sun down...but I think those two are workers from the orchard."

"Why don't we go ask 'em if they've seen Nemona?"

• If talked to before approaching the villagers

"Let's go ask those two if they've seen Nemona."

• After the player talks to the villagers

"Something's off about them..."

"Whooa, what the heck?! What's going on?!"

• In battle

???: "Wh-what's with them all of a sudden?! Why are they attacking us?"

???: "I feel bad about it, but the only thing we can do is battle them until they calm down..."

• After battle

"Phew... That scared the snot outta me..."

"What's gotten into them?! They were perfectly fine when I saw them yesterday!"

"What the heck is going on around here?!"

Regardless of choice: "Hey, you're right! The weird dancing and yelling... It's what my sis was doin'!"

"Did these two get wrapped up in this whole curse thing too? Aw man... I can't believe Nemona vanished at a time like this... We could really use her help."

Regardless of choice: "Sure looked like her, all right... She ran off toward Kitakami Hall... Why? C'mon, we should go after her."

Reveler's Road

"Grandpa! Grandma! What're you both doign here? Is Carmine OK?! And did you see a girl come by here?!"

"Phew... So she's safe..."

"Oh... Yeah, I hope so. Good thinking, Grandpa."

"Oh! Right! Everyone in town is actin' all weird. And one of the girls who came here from Paldea went missing!"

"Grandma?"

"G-Grandpa? You OK?"

"Huh—?!"

"You gotta be kidding me!"

• In battle

???: "Aw man, why'd this have to happen... I guess we've no choice but to beat 'em..."

???: "Grandpa! Grandma! Wh-what's gotten into you?!"

• After battle

"Aw man... No way... Gramps and Grandma too? Everyone's losing it... It's just a matter of time until it gets me... I'm gonna end up like all the rest of 'em!"

Regardless of choice: "*sniffle* S-sorry... I kinda panicked there... Thanks, <player>."

"OK, let's think... Before Gramps started acting like Carmine, he ate some of that weird mochi..."

"What's wrong?! Are you two OK?!"

"Arven! Hey, Arven!!!"

"Something must've got them!"

"Grandma, Grandpa...I'll be back, so don't go anywhere!"

"I still wanna find Nemona, but we gotta get to Peachy's and check on Arven and Penny! C'mon!"

Mossui Town

• At Peachy's

"Arven! Penny!"

""Weird thing"? What're you talking about?"

"I think I might have figured out why everyone is acting so strange. Until we know for sure, though, maybe we should all be careful around any weird mo—"

"No, wait! Don't eat those!"

"You two...OK?"

If the player responded 'Arven!': "Huh? Is Arven...embarrassed?"

If the player responded 'Penny!': "Whoa. Does Penny seem, uh, even more worked up than everyone else?"

"But more importantly—I'm so sorry! If only I'd managed to warn them in time..."

"Those weird mochi came from that thing!"

"Hey, no fair! That jerk's using them as a shield! We've gotta find some way to get the two of them to calm down..."

• If talked to

"I don't like it, but I think battling Arven and Penny might be the only way..."

• After defeating Arven and Penny

"Arven... Penny... I'm real sorry, guys..."

"Where do you think you're going?! You're next!"

"Wait!"

Loyalty Plaza

"It's gotta be somewhere around here!"

"Wait, is that...?"

"Nemona?! Thank goodness you're OK..."

"I shoulda figured!"

"Did she just say "match"? Guess even the mochi couldn't override her battle-mania completely..."

"Aw man, it's got control of Nemona... There's no way I can hold her off..."

"This is bad! Everybody from Mossui is coming here!"

Regardless of choice: "R-right! Good luck! I'll focus on keeping the villagers from getting any closer!"

"<player>, you do your best with Nemona and...whatever that thing is! Maybe everyone'll go back to normal if you beat it!"

• If talked to before battling Nemona

"Maybe everyone'll go back to normal if you defeat that thing!"

• In battle, watching the player fight Pecharunt

Upon landing the first non-KO move: "Y-you damaged it! That means you can beat it! Keep it up—you got this!"

When Pecharunt is at low health: "Aw man, I can't hold out much longer... Hurry up and finish it, <player>!"

After depleting Pecharunt's HP to zero: "Look—it's slowing down! Now's your chance! Catch it in a Poké Ball!"

• After the player catches Pecharunt

"D-did you get it?!"

"Then everybody else should be—!"

"Everybody's back to normal!"

"So, first... ... ... And after that... ... ... But then they all... ... ...!"

"Hahaha, he/she sure did!"

"N-Nemona really is..."

"Sis! Gramps! Grandma!"

Mossui Town

• Outside the community center

"Hey, uh, <player>? Everyone...? Thank you all so much for coming!"

"Heh... Well, good! I'm glad you liked it here."

"I really am happy I got to meet you all."

"I've been thinking about it a lot, and...I'm gonna give Blueberry Academy another shot. I'm really gonna go for it this time!"

Regardless of choice: "Yeah... Thanks, <player>!"

"Hey, Sis... Thanks for, like, comin' with me here and everything!"

"Huh? Were you? I didn't even notice..."

"Yeah. Sorry about her."

League Club Room, after finishing Mochi Mayhem

• First visit

"Hey, <player>! Man, it’s been a while since I’ve been here. And everyone’s been talking to me like normal... I honestly wasn’t expecting that."

"Well, everyone but Drayton. He was looking at me with a stupid grin on his face..."

"But I still apologized to him—for everything I did, and how I acted..."

I’m glad things are working out!: "Yeah, me too! It’s all thanks to you, <player>."

You two getting along?: "Can’t really say we’re buddy-buddy just yet, but...yeah. I’ll keep trying..."

"I’m gonna make up for the time I lost while I was away from school—just you watch!"

• Second visit

"Hey, thanks for bringing Arven and everyone with you to Kitakami."

"Being back home on my break, I just couldn’t stop dwelling on everything that had happened... It was rough..."

"You guys visiting really helped. It’s too bad all that weird stuff happened while you guys were there, though..."

The weird stuff with Carmine?: "Yeah, that! My sis is still all embarrassed ’bout it, so you better not bring that stuff up around her!"

The weird “mochi mochi” stuff?: "Yeah, that! It makes for a funny story now, but wowzers, that was scary!"

"Y’know, there’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while and...I think I made up my mind."

"I’ll fill you in soon, I promise. Just wait a bit, OK?"

• Third visit

"Hey, <player>! Guess what I did?! I had the BB League drop me!"

Wait, why’d you do that?! / Did you get sick of it?: "Don’t worry, it’s not ’cause of you—or anybody in the club."

"I just wanted to become as strong as you so badly... It was all I cared about. Up till now, I’d forgotten that battling is supposed to be fun."

"So I wanna do some thinking about what I really wanna do. I think for now I wanna just be around friends and Pokémon and not get so caught up in competing."

Guess you thought it through! / Do what you gotta do!: "Heh... Thanks."

"Only thing that’s changed is that you’re the Champion now—the Elite Four lineup is still the same. Crispin’s pretty relieved."

"But just because you got to the top doesn’t mean you get to slack off, <player>!"

"Once I’ve cleared my head a bit, I’m gonna shoot for that Champion title again!"

Looking forward to it!: "Hehehe... Yeah, so am I!"

You still won’t beat me!: "Hehehe... If you say so!"

"Ah, right—I do have a favor I wanna ask you..."

"If it’s all right, do you wanna, um... Do you wanna trade Pokémon with me?"

Yes: "Woo-hoo! I’ll trade my Applin! What about you, <player>?"

After selecting a Pokémon: "OK, so you wanna trade your <Pokémon> for my Applin?"

No: "Aw, man... OK, then..."

Talking to him after refusing: "Do you wanna trade Pokémon with me?"

If the player only has one Pokémon in their party and boxes: "Wait, we can’t trade if you’ve only got one li’l Pokémon on your team. Let’s trade once you have at least two, OK?"

After the trade: "I’ll take real good care of your <Pokémon>, <player>, don’t you worry! Thanks for trading with me!"

• Rematch

"Hey, <player>! Let's battle!"

No: "Oh, OK... Yeah, no worries!"

Yes: "All right! Let's head over to the entrance, then!"

If the player only has one Pokémon in their party: "Ah, sorry, <player>... I was thinkin’ we’d do a Double Battle, actually. Could you bring at least two Pokémon?"

• In battle

Upon sending his last Pokémon: "Aw, man, that bites... But I'm still having a blast! Time to turn the tables!"

Upon Terastallizing his Hydrapple: "These feelings never change... And I'll put them all into Terastallizing right here, right now!"

Upon having his Terastallized Hydrapple use Tera Blast: "I'm gonna go all out with this! Let's show 'em what we can do together, Hydrapple!"

Upon being defeated: "I'm really glad we could battle!"

• After player wins first battle

"Hehehe, that was fun! See, this is exactly why I look up to you, <player>. You sure are strong!"

"I wish there was something I could give you... Oh, I know!"

Player receives Blueberry Case (Black): "I don’t have my own smartphone yet, so you can have that!"

• After subsequent battles

If defeated by the player: "Today sure was fun! Thanks, <player>!"

Player obtains a reward

"We gotta battle again sometime!"

If defeated the player: "Wowzers, I managed to beat you! Oh man, my heart's still poundin'... Thanks for the battle, <player>!"

• Talking to after rematch

"Is the ogre-I mean, Ogerpon-doin' well? I think...it'll be pretty happy as long as it's with you."

"Man, my room is a real disaster right now... It's still how I left it when I was all obsessed with battlin'... I should hurry up and clean it..."

"I grew up in Kitakami, so I don't talk like the other kids here... It used to bother me, but I don't mind so much anymore!"

"Wowzers, you sure I can keep your <Pokémon>, <player>?! It's a beauty! I'll take real good care of it, don't you worry!"

"How's the Applin I traded you? Have you had him on your team? It'd sure make me happy to hear he's helping you out in your battles!"
