Spikemuth

• Before battle

"*sigh*... So you're finally here, huh?"

"See, I'm...I'm really not a great Gym Leader. Figured that's why nobody was comin' to challenge me."

"I have good ears, so I overheard the whole thing about the city bein' shut up. When I was alone, it was like my soul was weepin'."

"This is a simple Gym Stadium. We can't even Dynamax our Pokémon, but well... I still hope you enjoy the battle."

"Now then..."

"I'm the Gym Leader of Spikemuth, Piers, the Dark-type user!"

"You wanna challenge me, even though you know you'll lose? Then this song's for you, foolish Trainer!"

"Get ready for a mosh pit with me and my party! Spikemuth, it's time to rock!"

• Upon sending out Scrafty

"Everyone, cheer on my Pokémon! Let's do it, Scrafty! Intimidate the opponent!"

• Upon sending out Malamar

"Malamar's gonna mess you all up with its Contrary Ability!"

• Upon sending out Skuntank

"Everyone's gonna stink, but who cares! Go, Skuntank! Use your Sucker Punch and Toxic!"

• Upon sending out Obstagoon

"Time to meet another member of my crew! Face the proud, high roar of my Obstagoon!"

• Before sending out his last Pokémon

"I don't do encores, get it? Not songs... Not moves... Not Pokémon!"

• Commanding Obstagoon to use Throat Chop

"Here's a number I had saved just for this! You lot in the stands better cheer me on!"

• Upon being defeated

"Me an' my team gave it our best. Let's meet up again for a battle some time..."

• After being defeated

"I'm glad we were able to battle. Seems like my Pokémon feel the same way."

"Here's your Dark Badge."

"Here's a uniform, too... I’ve actually been thinkin' about just sellin' them at my concerts."

"My little sis Marnie's gonna challenge me next, I bet."

"Do you want to go back to the reception area?"

"So you were watchin', Sis... You won't learn anythin' from seein' me lose."

"That right? That reminds me. Marnie, there's somethin' I wanted to tell you."

"I want you to take over the Gym here in Spikemuth as its Gym Leader."

"Good point. In that case, let your big bro see if you have the skill to be a Champion!"

Wyndon

• Rose of the Rondelands

"Kid's sure got a mouth on him, huh? If you were that noisy durin' battle, you'd unleash a whole new level of power, you know."

"Judgin' by appearances? No wonder you lost to your mate."

"If you're lookin' for the Champion, I saw him headin' to Rose Tower."

"Dunno what he's up to, but I ran into him at the monorail platform. He said to tell you that he had somethin' to do at Rose Tower, so he'd be late to your dinner."

"Sheesh... What rude siblings, always so demandin' of others."

"Though I s'ppose... It's a real problem for me, too, if the Finals are held up for any reason. And I don't really hate the two of you little runts. You were good enough to beat me, after all."

"So I think I'll invite Team Yell along, and we'll all have ourselves a bit of fun. Shall we?"

• Outside the hotel

"We decided that Team Yell will cheer you on, <player>. Let's help out together."

"Tch. This isn't good! But I got this one!"

"<player>! Team Yell's yellin' will handle this!"

"For now, we should try to head to the plaza together, right?"

Yes: "All right, let's all work together and head for Rose Tower."

No: "Hmm. You should be able to get to the plaza yourself, right?"

• Upon arriving at the plaza

"Let's find Oleana's League staff member. That bad one was wearin' those lame shades, right?"

• If talked to before finding the League staff member

"That bad League staff member was wearin' some awful shades. And the key to findin’ anyone is to just ask everyone you meet!"

• After defeating Macro Cosmos's Eric for the first time

"Seems like nobody's seen that bad League staff member anywhere else. I bet they're hidin' somewhere nearby."

• After defeating Eric for the second time

"Makes sense for a cornered person to seek out the tightest hidin' place, I guess. Don’t s'ppose you got a box lyin' around?"

• After defeating Eric for the third time

"Guess that wraps up Oleana's little game. Course, I’m not one to talk, I guess. Team Yell did their fair share of lame tricks... Anyway, let's head to the station."

"Team Yell, go find Hop! We'll corner that League staff member at the station together!"

• Wyndon Station

"You did a crackin' job of cornerin’ that bad League staff member, <player>. Let me sing you a song fittin' of your rockin' deeds!"

"The only thing a humble singer can do is sing a humble song. ♪"

"Maybe I can't cheer someone on just with the tunes I play. ♪"

"Maybe my songs don't make anyone happy. Maybe I can't help. ♪"

"But still the only thing I can do is sing—sing my humble song. ♪"

"<player>! Hop! Now’s your chance! Go! Get outta here!"

• Outside Rose Tower

"Times like this—when tension and passion run high—remind me of Spikemuth in the old days. Some right wild concerts we had back then. But no encores!"

"Wait, you're still here?"

"You better get goin'! I'll send some support your way with a yell!"

Wyndon Stadium (Champion Cup Lobby)

"I'd say I aim to win this thing... And I'll do it without usin' Dynamax, to help everyone in Spikemuth reclaim their pride... and to see'em smile once again."

Wyndon Stadium (Champion Cup Lobby)

• After losing to Raihan

"Sis. You shouldn't be forcin' your way in here."

"You got it wrong, Sis. Raihan's just that strong. But I was able to show everyone in the audience how amazin' a proper battle without usin' Dynamax can be."

"Sorry to come in for a chin-wag just before the final match. Raihan's waiting for you on the pitch. We're lookin' forward to a right good battle."

Turffield Stadium (Sordward and Shielbert)
