Pokémon Sword and Shield

Slippery Slope

• Before battle

"Gahahaha! Don't you fret! I know somewhere way more fun than that musty old place! Get ready for loads of quality time with the coolest dad ever!"

"Come on, Nia! Be reasonable! Or get ready to be ultra-mega-embarrassed... as I unleash the Noble Roar of Dad!"

"Gahahaa! Wise of you not to stick your head into people's business willy-nilly!"

"Now hold on, lad/lass! Can't say I approve of you buttin' in so blindly... But if I just give you a trouncin', this young lady here ought to see reason! The name's Peony! Brace yourself—I'm pretty ferocious in battle!"

• After sending out first Pokémon

"Gahaha! Aren't you the brave one, pickin' a fight with a onetime Gym Leader!"

• When the player lands a super-effective hit

"Not bad! Not bad at all! But watch out—next time, it's my turn!"

• Before sending out last Pokémon

"Steel's tough as they come! The more hits it takes, the more ultra-mega-determined it gets!"

• Upon being defeated

"Guess it's not my place to be braggin'!"

• After battle

"Gahahaaa! Look at me, takin' a thrashin' from a youngster like you!" / "Gahahaaa! You've got a bit of fight in you, but you're still soft!"

"Hmm? My darlin' daughter's disappeared! Where've you gone, my sweet Nia?!"

"Darlin'" daughter, huh?/Are you sure "sweet" is a word: "Of course! My Nia's the sweetest, darlingest daughter a dad could ask for! I brought her out here so we could have a proper father-daughter trip. First one in ages! And now that we've got here, she grabs the first Trainer she finds, makes 'em a decoy, and legs it! That's my dear Nia for you! That's just her backward way of showin' her papa she loves him! Gahaha!"

Must be/Is it?: "That's the type of girl she is! Ultra-mega-charmin', isn't it? Still, without her, I can't start this Adven-tour of legendary spots I've planned for us! She mention wantin' to have a gander at someplace called the Max Lair, didn't she? Sounds to me like she wants good old Papa to chase after her! Well, she needn't worry— I'm not one for wastin' time! Which means it's time I got a move on. Cheers for a fine battle!"

"I'll be seein' you, then, lad/lass! Take care of those strong Pokémon of yours! / Careful where you poke your head in next time!"

• Outside the Max Lair

"Aha! This must be the Max Lair that Nia was talking about. Which means my darlin' daughter is in there right now, havin' a giggle with some rare Dynamax Pokémon!"

"Hm? Oh, it's you again! Well, kid, maybe you ought to come as well! Right! Just you hold on, Nia, my dear! Here comes Papaaa!"

Max Lair

"Oh, I think you can! My precious daughter's in there, and I'm goin' in after her!"

"But what?! I'm here to have an adventure, and I want to kick it off right now!"

"Grrr!"

"Oh, there you are, lad/lass! So you've come after all, have you?"

All right?/Something the matter?: "Nothin's all right, and everythin's the matter! This ultra-mega-numpty of a scientist insists on gettin' in my way!"

"Gaaah! I've got no patience for standin' here listenin' to you rattle off the fine print!"

"Aha! Now you're talkin'! Go on, then. Let's hear what the good lady's got to say! And then we'll go find my little Nia together! Right? Right!"

• If talked to again

"Go on, then. Let's hear what the good lady's got to say! And then we'll go find my little Nia together! Right? Right!"

Yes: "That's what I like to hear, mate! I owe you one!"

No: "Come on, mate! Don't leave me hangin'!"

"Right, right—I follow you! You're sayin' you don't want Galar losin' control, so the Pokémon rent some particles, and we might see a rare overexposure!"

"I'm still a touch lost, but... that's the type of place this is, eh? Right! Sounds like this is all a bit beyond me, so I'll just go on in and get crackin'! Here comes Papa, my darling Niaaa!"

• After participating in a Dynamax Adventure

"Oiii..."

"Agh! It hurts! It ultra-mega-hurts! Nia! Where's my darlin' Niaaa?"

What happened?/Are you all right?: "Hnngh... Adventures aren't to be taken lightly. I've learned that firsthead now— Firsthand, I mean. I was just checkin' to see if my little girl was behind some rocks, and look how I've ended up!"

"There we go—I'm up! No little bump's gonna keep me down long. That kip's got me feelin' right as rain! How about it then, lad/lass? Did you find my darlin' Nia?"

I did, but.../Well, here's how it went...: "Hmmm... You don't say. So dear Nia's set on stayin' away till she's had her fill of this Dynamax Adventure stuff... and she wants the two of us to go ahead and get crackin' on the grand Peony Adven-tour? You know, I burned the candle at both ends working out the best itinerary I could for my dear Nia's sake... But I guess she's at that age when she doesn't want her old man taggin' along all the time. And tryin' to press her into doin' what I wanna do probably won't win me any "dad of the year" awards. Right, then! What's your name, kid?"

"Cheers, <player>! My name's Peony! Wait—have I already told you so? Gahaha! Then it's twice as nice to meet you!"

• After handing the player his League Card

"Let's have ourselves such a smashin' adventure that my dear Nia'll be itchin' to join in the fun!"

Yes, let's!: "Now that's an ultra-mega-great response! Just what I was hopin' to hear! Gahaha!"

Erm...: "Gahaha! Don't fret, now! I've done all sorts of preparations already!"

"We're goin' to have ourselves a real treat of a Legendary Pokémon hunt! So that's decided! Now then, <player>! Let's get ourselves to Freezington! It's a town just a short ways off. Time for a strategic plannin' meetin' for Peony's Adven-tour! I'll fill you in on the details once you get there! I say, let us reconvene posthaste! Ha! Just pullin' your leg. Can you imagine if I actually talked like that? Gahaaahahaha!"

Freezington

"Oi!"

"Over here, <player>!"

• Inside the house

"Aha! Here you are! This poky little place will be our lodgings!"

"But as of this moment, it's also somethin' far more important-our base camp! I know, I know. Not much of a base camp, is it? Still, we've got to give it a proper air of importance, haven't we? Now, enough faffin' about, <player>! Let me tell you what the Peony Exploration Team is after! Round here, they've got a fair few strange and mysterious legends! FOR EXAMPLE! A huge-headed Pokémon known as the King of Bountiful Harvests! NOT TO MENTION! A massive red tree where legendary flyin' Pokémon gather! AND FURTHERMORE! These great, hulkin' dot-faced giants that sleep in some ruins or somethin'! ET CETERA! See what I mean? This place is just burstin' with juicy legends! And we're not stoppin' until we've found just how much truth they've got to 'em! And there you have it! We are the Peony Exploration Team...and that is our grand, noble, magnificent goal! Course, if I had my way, I'd be doin' this with my darlin' Nia... But who knows? They say even Chansey meetings can lead to Blissey-ful friendships! So here's to a grand adventure, Expedition Chief <player>!"

Chief?/Who, me?: "Obviously! Look... What do you think would happen if the two of us went gallivantin' off together? My dear Nia could come along for a grand, emotional reunion...and find this place empty! Just the thought of it... My own darlin' daughter, sittin' alone in this room, pinin' for her papa... Gaaah! Nope, not on my watch! I'd never let that happen! So I'll be the hold-down-the-fort chief! Which means you get the pleasure of bein' the expedition chief! Gahaha! Which brings me to...this! Go on—have it!"

"Gahaha! Look at that. Fits you like a glove! I brought some spare uniforms so my dear Nia would have a few to change into. So there's enough to give you one! And if you ever need to change or have a kip, by all means... just head into the bedroom back here! I've got some different-colored scarves in there, so switch it up if you fancy a bit of style! Here—have these, too!"

• After handing the player the Legendary Clues

"They are Legendary Clues I've meticulously compiled from hours of dedicated telly watchin'! First off, why not have a look at that clue about the King of Bountiful Harvests? Seems like this king's bond with its loyal steed-or whatever you call it—run proper deep! So if I had to name this expedition, I'd called it..."

"There's a great, big statue of it bang in the middle of the village! Though its head isn't as massive as in my notes..."

"Aha! I've just had an idea. Here's a little somethin' to help you out!"

• After handing the player a Master Ball

"This is supposed to be one ultra-mega-corker of a ball! Use it wherever you think you ought to! I got it ages ago from somebody I used to know. Never could bring myself to use it, though... If you ever get a bit turned around, come on back to base camp anytime! You can't miss it—just look for the adventurin'- crew flag I stuck out front! Handmade by yours truly! Anyway, I suppose that's that! Let the grand adventure begin! Have a smashin' time out there!"

• After inspecting the statue piece on the table

"Hey, Chief! My pillow's caught your eye, eh?"

Your...pillow?: "Oi, listen here, Chief. I've got some wisdom to impart. If you can put your head on it and have a kip, it's a pillow!"

Yeah, it's great!: "Righto! Ultra-mega-nice, isn't it? Just the shape and firmness I need!"

"Unfortunately, I went and left my favorite pillow back at home. So I went to have a look around town for somethin' to rest my head on... and I found this back behind the inn!"

Can I have it?: "C-come off it! You want me to hand over my ultra-mega-comfy pillow?! That's askin' a lot, even comin' from you, Chief!"

I see: "I'm in for one ultra-mega-comfy sleep tonight. That's for certain!

"Hm? What's that? You think my pillow's got somethin' to do with a Legendary Pokémon? Gaaah, ultra-mega-seriously?! This is just some old thing I found! But if you really want it, Chief... Who am I to refuse? All right, all right! Go on, then—have it! But you'd better make sure you track that legend down!"

"What's the matter, Chief? Can't get my pillow off your mind?"*

Can I have it?: "C-come off it! You want me to hand over my ultra-mega-comfy pillow?! That's askin' a lot, even comin' from you, Chief!"

I was only looking: "Heh heh heh! Well, look all you like! Sear it right into your eyeballs!"

• Outside the house, after defeating Calyrex

"Oi oi, what's up?! I heard a big ruckus comin' from over here! What's this now, Chief? Were you havin' a Pokémon battle?"

"Huh? What a massive noggin!"

"Wh-what's this?!"

"Eaghhh!"

"Mlerrrgh..."

"*snort* Gah?! Huh?! Chief?! With a massive noggin! Or... Wait. No, it's normal. I must've fallen asleep where I stood! Sorry 'bout that, Chief! Still, I feel strange. Like my body's not quite my own... Guess I'll head back to base and get some rest! 'Sides, it's freezing out here!"

• Outside the house, after talking to the mayor

"Hmmm? Oh, hey there, Chief! I had a feelin' someone called me. Was it you?"

"Huh?"

"Mlerrrgh..."

"*snort* Gah?!"

"What in the—? I seem to be gettin' in the habit of fallin' asleep outside! Gahaha! I guess it just goes to show that holdin' down the fort isn't all that easy! You take care o' yourself, Chief. Don't overdo it!"

• Inside the mayor's house, after obtaining the Radiant Petal

"Oi, Mr. Mayor! The hot water in my shower seems to have gone on holiday!"

"Oh, you're here, too, Chief? Were you in the middle of somethin'? The pair of you seem awful gloomy!"

Here's what happened.../The mayor tried...: "What? Is that all? Gahaahaha! So, all you need to do is make some nice cord! Pass me those materials for a mo. All right! Got my petal, got my hair! Now what'm I supposed to do with 'em?"

"Steady on, old bloke! The singin's a bit much! Oh well, that'll do for an answer. Hi-yayayaaah!"

"All finished! Have a look! Think this'll do?"

"Gahaaahaha! I don't sew all my dear rebellious daughter's clothes for nothin', you know! Even the explorer's outfit I gave you was handmade by yours truly, Chief!"

• If talked to again

"How about it, Chief? Has my sewin' saved the day?"

• Outside the mayor's house

"Would you believe it? I caught myself fallin' asleep outside again! I was chilled to the bone, so I thought I'd warm myself up with a good, hot shower at our base. But the water comin' out was ice cold! I got ultra-mega-suprised and jump out without putting on any of my—Mlerrrgh..."

Crown Shrine

"Wh-what in the world?! Such a huge noggin! And...it's got a ride?!"

"Wagh! It can talk?!"

"What...what d'you want?"

"Huh?! I-I've got no idea what you're sayin'! But...somehow it also makes sense? Hold the phone! What in the world are you anyw—? Oh, not again—Mlerrrgh..."

• Calling the player, after Calyrex is caught

"Hello? That you, Chief? It's me—Peony! I just had a dream about a bigheaded Pokémon, talkin' on and on in a weird shrine... You were there, too, Chief! It all felt so real! I got worried about you and decided I'd better give you a call and check in! You haven't hurt yourself, have you, Chief? Not in a bunch of trouble, are you?!"

I'm fine!/Everything's under control!: "Ah, good to hear! Guess I got nothin' to worry about, then! Gahahaaa! The Peony Exploration Team is all about the safety and well-bein' of its members, after all! So you be careful on your way back, too, you hear? No expedition's over until you're safe and sound back at home base! Gahaaahaha!"

Outside Rock Peak Ruins/Iceberg Ruins/Iron Ruins

• Calling the player, after they approach the entrance

"Oi oi! It's me, Peony! How're things, Chief? What's that? You've found someplace ruiny lookin'?! That's gotta be one of those places! Y'know, where the legendary giants are s'posed to be! D'you see a door with mysterious writin' on it? I hear no one's ever been able to get it open! If all that's true, I think I'd call this particular adventure..."

"Ha! Well? How's that grab you? Right then, Chief! I eagerly leave the rest of this research in your hands! Talk to you later!"

Iron Ruins

• Calling the player, after Registeel is caught

"Oi oi! Peony here! Haven't hurt yourself or anything, have you? Come again? You've gone and met the steel giant, Registeel?! Gahaha! Smashin' work, Chief! Now take that energy and go catch the others! Keep up the good work!"

Rock Peak Ruins

• Calling the player, after Regirock is caught

"Oi oi! It's me, Peony! You lookin' out for yourself out there, Chief? Come again? You've met the rock giant, Regirock?! Gahaha! Smashin' job, Chief! Now, time to keep lookin' into the other giants! Keep up the good work!"

Iceberg Ruins

• Calling the player, after Regice is caught

"Oi oi! Peony here! Enjoyin' your aventures? Come again? You've gone and met the ice giant, Regice?! Gahaha! Smashin' work, Chief! Now, crack on with those other giants! Keep up the good work!"

Dyna Tree Hill

• Calling the player, after encountering the Legendary Birds

"Oi oi! It's me, Peony! Listen—I wanted to ask you somethin'... Hang on, Chief! There's breakin' news on the telly! They're sayin' dodgy bird Pokémon are poppin' up left and right! There's this pointy-feathered one in the Wild Area! Plus a fiery-lookin' one out on the Isle of Armor! And this fancy, graceful one's apparently flyin' about the Crown Tundra! Wouldn't it be somethin' if they turned out to be the bird Pokémon I wrote that clue about? Hm, if that were the case...I think I'd call this expedition something like..."

"Now I've gone and ultra-mega-completely forgot what I called you for in the first place! Well, life's too short to sweat the small stuff! Ta, Chief!"

Crown Tundra

• Calling the player, after Galarian Articuno is caught

"Oi oi! It's me, Peony! How's your expeditionin' goin'? Come again? You've found the Legendary Pokémon Articuno?! Gahahaaa! That's really somethin'! Now go track down the other bird Pokémon!"

Wild Area

Freezington

• Inside the house

"Oi oi, Chief! How goes the adventurin'? Anything to report?" / "Got anythin' else legendary you wanna talk about?"

The legend of the King of Bountiful Harvests: Calyrex: "Wait—you really caught Calyrex from the legends?! That's ultra-mega-brilliant! Report away! Th-that...that...that noggin's MASSIVE! I-is that the King of Bountiful Harvests? The one callin' the shots around here? Huh? I could swear I've seen it before... Or then again, maybe not... A-anyway! It's definitely regal of it to have a steed... and that massive head does sort of resemble a crown! It's kingly enough, at any rate! Let's just call this a successful expedition!"

Completing Legendary Clue 1: "Looks like you've reported all there is to report on Legendary Clue 1 and the King of Bountiful Harvests! Smashin'! I'll mark this expedtion done!"

The legendary giants: Regirock: "Wait—you really caught Regirock from the legends?! That's ultra-mega-brilliant! Report away! Hmmm... You're sayin' this great craggy thing's Regirock, the rock giant? Is it just me, or does it bear a strikin' resemblance to our Grass-type Gym Leader? Look at those broad, burly shoulders! This fella and Milo are a proper pair of boulders! Well, it's rocky and gianty enough, I s'pose! Let's call this expedition successful!"

The legendary giants: Regice: "Wait—you really caught Regice from the legends?! That's ultra-mega-brilliant! Report away! Hmmm... You're sayin' this great frozen-stiff thing's Regice, the ice giant? Is it just me, or does it look like it'd make one ultra-mega-dazzlin' chandelier? Wish I could light it up and show it to darlin' Nia! That aside, look how massive and mighty it is! Gives me the chills just lookin' at it, I don't mind sayin'! Well, it's icy and gianty—I'll give you that! Let's consider this expedition complete!"

The legendary giants: Registeel: "Wait—you really caught Registeel from the legends?! That's ultra-mega-brilliant! Report away! Hmmm... You're sayin' this great smooth thing's Registeel, the steel giant? Is it just me, or does its top half look a bit like a massive bowling ball? Look at that blank, inscrutable mug, though... You can't guess what's goin' through its head! Well, it's steely and gianty enough, I s'pose! Let's call this an expedition well done!"

The legendary giants: Regieleki: "Wait—you really caught Regieleki from the legends?! That's ultra-mega-brilliant! Report away! Hmmm... You're sayin' this great crackly thing's Regieleki, the electric giant? Y'know what it reminds me of? That colorful candy that pops and fizzes and crackles in your mouth! Imagine the balance it must take to stay upright with that constantly shiftin' body! Gives me the shivers, I don't mind saying! Well, it looks electric and gianty enough. Expedition successful, I s'pose!"

The legendary giants: Regidrago: "Wait—you really caught Regidrago from the legends?! That's ultra-mega-brilliant! Report away! Hmmm... You're sayin' this great jagged thing's Regidrago, the dragon giant? Is it just me, or does it look like it'd pack a really strong pinch? It's a bit like a massive clothespin, isn't it? I'd better not go provokin' it—doubt it'd have a bit of trouble openin' wide and snappin' me up! I s'pose I'd say that's a dragony giant! May as well call this expedition a success!"

Completing Legendary Clue 2: "Looks like you've reported all there is to report on Legendary Clue 2 and the legendary giants! Smashin'! I'll mark this expedition done!"

The legendary bird Pokémon: Articuno: "Wait—you really caught Articuno from the legends?! That's ultra-mega-brilliant! Report away! Hmmm... So that's Articuno, is it? The Legendary Pokémon that can manipulate ice? I definitely see the resemblance, but it's got this dodgy mask on and everything... and it hardly seems cold at all, does it? Oh well! It's got one ultra-mega-icy gaze! That's Articuno enough for me, anyway. Let's call this expedition a success!"

The legendary bird Pokémon: Zapdos: "Wait—you really caught Zapdos from the legends?! That's ultra-mega-brilliant! Report away! Hmmm... So that's Zapdos, is it? The Legendary Pokémon that can cause thunderstorms? I definitely see the resemblance, but those legs look thicker than I expected... and it's not exactly electrifyin', is it? Oh well! It's as spiky and as long-beaked as I hoped for! That's Zapdos enough for me, I s'pose. Let's mark this expedition complete!"

The legendary bird Pokémon: Moltres: "Wait—you really caught Moltres from the legends?! That's ultra-mega-brilliant! Report away! Hmmm... So that's Moltres, is it? The Legendary Pokémon that's the embodiment of fire? I definitely see the resemblance, but it's not at all hot to the touch... Kinda looks like it'd be more at home with the punks in Spikemuth than in a volcano, doesn't it? Oh well! Looks a bit like it's burnin' if you don't look too close! That's Moltres enough for me, I s'pose. Let's call that an expedition well done!"

Completing Legendary Clue 3: "Looks like you've reported all there is to report on Legendary Clue 3 and the legendary birds! Smashin'! I'll mark this expedition done!"

Never mind: "Crack on with solvin' those legends, Chief! You've expeditions to...expedite!"

• After reporting

"Looks like that's about all the reportin' you've got to report just now! Go give those other legends a nice thorough investigatin'!"

• After completing the three Legendary Clues

"Huh? Well, how 'bout that, Chief! Looks like that was the last bit of the grand Peony Adven-tour that I had for you! Whoooooo! Now this is an occasion! What's the word? Ultra-mega-epic! Your passion for all this caught me off guard, Chief... This whole Adven-tour thing was built out of a load of rubbish I scraped together. Even I had my doubts about the whole thing. But you? You went at it with a ton of energy! You don't s'pose those Pokémon you caught were really the one in the legends, do you?"

I do!/Well, actually...: "Nah, actually, never mind. You don't have to tell me anything! A look at your face tells me everything I need to know, Chief. I can tell that you must've done some ultra-mega-epic explorin'! And whatever you discovered on your way... that's a special treasure just for you! I'm not about to rain on your parade by bein' nosy and askin' silly questions! Well, Chief <player>... Thanks for stickin' around and finishin' every part of my Adven-tour! I want you to have this. Consider it my way of sayin' "thank you"!"

• After handing the player his rare League Card

"Hmmm... But I can't shake the feelin' I'm forgettin' somethin'..."

"My darlin' Nia!"

"Oh..."

"H-hold on! Gimme just a mo! I'll come up with some new legends straightaway! You'll have your adventure, Nia! A nice father-daughter expedition! Finally!"

"R-right! First things first! I've got something for you, Nia... Here! I made this brilliantly shiny explorer's outfit for you! You can get changed while I come up with somethin'."

"Gahahaha! Isn't it obvious? You're my darlin' daughter!"

"I want you to shine so bright that everyone notices you!"

"Hey! But why!?!"

"No! Come back, Nia! No need to be so rebellious! I know you really love me! Don't you?! Agh! Sorry for the sudden commotion, Chief! It was a blast explorin' with you! You're free to keep usin' our base camp, of course! Anyway, time for me to go spend some quality time with my darlin' daughter! Hold on, Nia! Wait for me!"

Max Lair

• If talked to

"Oi oi, Chief! Got something legendary to show me?"

Have a look!: "Hold the phone, Chief. You haven't got any Legendary Pokémon with you! Gahaha! It happens!" / "What've you got for me?"

Mewtwo: "Aha! That's Mewtwo, the ferocious Pokémon created through genetic manipulation, isn't it? Its face is a bit on the pale side... Seems docile for the most part, though! It might not have the friendliest-lookin' mug, but I'll bet it's a decent sort on the inside!"

Moltres: "Whoa! Now those are some serious flames! Hey, imposter Moltres! Have you got a fever or somethin'? You get some rest, hear me? Take care of yourself!"

Galarian Articuno: "Oho, here it is! Our imposter Articuno! I always wonder what it's thinkin' in there behind that dodgy mask... D'you get the feelin' it's lookin' down its beak at us? Maybe it's my imagination. I don't think that's the Pokémon from the mysterious clue, Chief! Keep a sharp eye—the game's still afoot!"

Galarian Zapdos: "Oho, here it is! Our imposter Zapdos! Seems like it's done its best to be jagged and spiky and make its beak nice and sharp. It really wants to be a proper Zapdos! Full marks for effort! I don't think that's the Pokémon from the mysterious clue, Chief! Keep a sharp eye—the game's still afoot!"

Galarian Moltres: "Oho, here it is! Our imposter Moltres! It may look a bit like it's ablaze, but it's barely lukewarm! That ultra-mega-feisty look in its eyes actually makes me feel like we'd get on all right. I don't think that's the Pokémon from the mysterious clue, Chief! Keep a sharp eye—the game's still afoot!"dialog.

Suicune: "Wow! That's a beautiful Pokémon, that is! Is that Suicune? It's dead cool how that horn thing on its head sort of makes a loop! I wonder, though... How's it supposed to roll over when it wants to sleep on the other side? I bet it's got a rough time sleepin' in general. You all right, Suicune? Gettin' your eight hours?"

Entei: "So this is Entei, the Pokémon they say was born from a volcanic eruption? Born from a volcano? Yeah, sure! Pull the other one; it's got bells on! So you're sayin' it's old man's a volcano? Or what－is its mum a volcano?"

Lugia: "So this is the Legendary Pokémon Lugia, eh? The one they call the guardian of the seas? And yet it's a Flying type! Fancy that－being able to swim and fly! What CAN'T it do? I've heard they've got these sportin' events called Pokéathlons in this one far-off region... Bet you Lugia would be brilliant in those!"

Regirock: "Aha, here's our little rock giant! Gahaha! Sorry to tease, mate. Just having a laugh. Don't you worry, rock giant—my respect for you's as thick as those broad shoulders! Keep up the good work, my fine rugged friend! I don't think that's the Pokémon from the mysterious clue, Chief! Keep a sharp eye—the game's still afoot!"

Regice: "Aha, here's our little ice giant! Gahaha! Sorry to tease, mate. Just having a laugh. Don't you worry, ice giant—I can see the might of your massiveness as clear as my reflection on you! Keep up the good work, my fine frozen friend! I don't think that's the Pokémon from the mysterious clue, Chief! Keep a sharp eye—the game's still afoot!"

Registeel: "Aha, here's our little steel giant! Gahaha! Sorry to tease, mate. Just having a laugh. Don't you worry, steel giant—your bowling-ball bod gets full marks from me! A perfect strike! Keep up the good work, my fine smooth friend! I don't think that's the Pokémon from the mysterious clue, Chief! Keep a sharp eye—the game's still afoot!"

Latias: "So this is Latias, a Pokémon that can read people's minds usin' telepathy... It's got a right cute little face for such a powerful Pokémon, hasn't it? All right, mate, let's see what you can do! What am I thinkin' right now? Wait, nope－cancel that! That's a terrifyin' idea now that I think about it!"

Groudon: "Whoa! Is that Groudon? The Pokémon they call the personification of land?! If the stories about how it sleeps in magma are true... that's brilliant! I'm a regular at the sauna, so I get where it's coming from! Bet it gets a nice spring in its step after a kip in that magma!"

Kyogre: "Whoa! Is that Kyogre? The Pokémon they say created the seas?! If the ocean's the mother of all life... and Kyogre's the mother of the ocean... Should we all be callin' Kyogre our nan?! Listen up, Chief... You better be nice and gentle with that Kyogre!"

Rayquaza: "Huh? Rayquaza? Isn't it supposed to live way up high in the ozone layer? Sounds like some serious high-altitude trainin'! It must be one dedicated athlete! Well, it's sure got a tough enough look on its face! I dunno what your sport is, Rayquaza, but keep it up!"

Mesprit: "Mesprit, eh? The Pokémon that brought people emotions? I'll admit I can get a tad caught up in my own passions now and then... Maybe Mesprit brought me a little too much?! Nah, just having a bit of fun! I may get happier or sadder than other folks... but that just means I'm makin' the most of life!"

Azelf: "Azelf, eh? The Pokémon that gives people the willpower to get through sticky situations? Maybe if I had one of these around, I'd be better at draggin' myself out of bed or cleanin' up around the house! Sounds like every home needs an Azelf! I've got to catch myself one!"

Uxie: "Uxie, eh? The Pokémon that governs knowledge and intelligence? Brilliant! I might have a few tiny gaps in the brains department... Maybe it could front me some smarts! Please and thank you kindly, O wise and generous Uxie! Hey, what do you know? I feel brainier already! Gahaha!"

Regigigas: "Whoa! Is that the boss of the legendary giants?! It's gigantic enough－that's for sure! One gianty giant! With all these dots, though, I've got no idea which ones are actually eyes. Where's a bloke supposed to look when he's talkin' to this one?"

Heatran: "Heatran, the Lava Dome Pokémon? Hmm... That stout, plump frame... That cheeky look on its face... What an ultra-mege-lovable Pokémon! Where'd you find this treasure? Forget legends－I'd like to have one just to carry around!"

Dialga: "So this is Dialga? The Pokémon that controls time? Well, if that's not just talk... think it could give me a cheeky rewind whenever I make my darlin' Nia mad? That aside... has this thing got a bangin' cry or what?!"

Palkia: "So this is Palkia? The Pokémon that controls space? Well, if that's not just talk... I'd sure love it if I could catch up to my dear Peonia instantly when she runs off! Just sayin'! That aside... has this thing got a bangin' cry or what?!"

Giratina: "So this is Giratina? A Pokémon that lives in a world on the reverse side of ours? It must've taken ages to get here from clear around the planet! Go on—plop down and have a rest, mate! Then again, looks like it'd be a speedy flier. Maybe a trip like that's a doddle for Giratina! I don't think that's the Pokémon from the mysterious clue, Chief! Keep a sharp eye—the game's still afoot!"

Cresselia: "Aha, it's Cresselia! The Pokémon that represents the crescent moon! Pretty, isn't it? Those archy bits on its back look pretty stiff though, don't they? How's the poor thing supposed to sleep on its side? Can it even turn over in bed? I worry about you, Cresselia... I don't think that's the Pokémon from the mysterious clue, Chief! Keep a sharp eye—the game's still afoot!"

Landorus: "Wait, wait, wait! You're tellin' me that's a Legendary Pokémon?! That mug's a dead ringer for my grumpy old neighbor! So that's Landorus, the Abundance Pokémon? Think it's tryin' to steal the King of Bountiful Harvests' thunder a bit? They say this fella gives evildoers a thrashin', right? That bit's just like my neighbor, too!"

Reshiram: "Whoa! Is that Pokémon's tail on fire?! Wait—come again? They say this Pokémon could scorch the world? Well, don't you look calm for someone carryin' around a potent Pokémon like that, Chief? That takes backbone, that does! Just watch out you don't get burned! I don't think that's the Pokémon from the mysterious clue, Chief! Keep a sharp eye—the game's still afoot!"

Zekrom: "Whoa! That Pokémon's cracklin' with electricity! Wait－come again? They say this Pokémon could blast the world with lightnin'? Well, don't you look calm for someone carryin' around a might Pokémon like that, Chief? That takes backbone, that does! Just watch out you don't get zapped!"

Kyurem: "Fwhoo! Brr! I was wonderin' why it got freezin' cold all of a sudden. Guess it's your work, Kyurem! Aren't you the silly one, gettin' frozen by your own cold air! That's a bit of an odd bod though, innit? Looks a little like there's places to stick bits on and take 'em off... Whoops, that was rude of me! Sorry about that, Kyurem!"

Yveltal: "That's the Destruction Pokémon, Yveltal? The one that absorbs the life-force of livin' things?! Looks a bit like the letter Y, doesn't it? Well, I'd sure like to know "why" Yveltal goes around absorbin' life-force like that! You can't go stealin' a bloke's life-force without so much as a how-d'you-do! I don't think that's the Pokémon from the mysterious clue, Chief! Keep a sharp eye—the game's still afoot!"

Tapu Koko: "Who's this rockin' the mohawk, Chief? Friend of yours? What? It's Tapu Koko, a Land Spirit Pokémon that's the guardian deity of some island?! Hmm! Sneakin' in a bit of undercover travel, is it? Well, not far under cover with that ultra-mega-flash hairdo stickin' out! Maybe I out to try out a mohawk if I ever get tired of the ol' buzz cut!"

Lunala: "It's Lunala, the Moone Pokémon! It practically howls "moon" doesn't it? Can it really make it dark as night even in the full bright of day? That's pretty cheeky! Sounds like it'd be a great help on those mornings you need a bit more kip, though! Eh? It comes from another world, too? That's one fired-up Pokémon!"

Guzzlord: "Guzzlord, the Junkivore Pokémon? Couldn't have named it better. Look at it go, chowin' down on that rubbish! Good for you, you great gourmand! No one could call you a fussy eater! Chief, if you've ever got some rubbish you can't be bothered to bin, toss that one a treat!"

Regieleki: "Aha, here's our little electric giant! Gahaha! Sorry to tease, mate. Just having a laugh. Don't you worry, electric giant—when I say you look like a great, bright piece of candy, I mean it in the best way! Keep up the good work, my fine crackly friend! I don't think that's the Pokémon from the mysterious clue, Chief! Keep a sharp eye—the game's still afoot!"

Spectrier: "So this is Spectrier? The King of Bountiful Harvests' Swift Horse Pokémon? Seems like it's quit bein' its old bullyin' self and is actually bein' loyal to the king! I get the feelin' if I went for a ride on that thing, it'd whisk me off to who-knows-where! Bit scary, I don't mind sayin'! The king's got to have some legendary guts to ride around on this one all the time! I don't think that's the Pokémon from the mysterious clue, Chief! Keep a sharp eye—the game's still afoot!"

Calyrex: "Oi oi! As grand a noggin as ever, eh? That's our King of Bountiful Harvests, isn't it? The one callin' the shots around here! It's a dead ringer for the statue in Freezington! Hm... Y'know, when I get a good look at it...that head of yours sure looks like my lovely pillow! I don't think that's the Pokémon from the mysterious clue, Chief! Keep a sharp eye—the game's still afoot!"

Calyrex (as Ice Rider/Shadow Rider Calyrex): "Oho! Calyrex, the King of Bountiful Harvests! It sure does look just like the legends say, ridin' majestically up on that loyal steed! I've got an odd feelin'...like I met it somewhere before you caught it, Chief... But no matter how hard I think about it, I'm just drawin' a blank! Huh... Did you hear a little voice say "thank you" just now? Or am I hearin' things? I don't think that's the Pokémon from the mysterious clue, Chief! Keep a sharp eye—the game's still afoot!"

Let's battle!: "All right! Let's go a round, then! Get ultra-mega-ready, Chief!"

Never mind: "Aha, changed your mind? Fair enough!"

• After sending out first Pokémon

"My dear Nia's watchin' from the sidelines! Time to activate coolest-dad-ever mode!"

• When player lands a super-effective hit

"Look at you showin' how it's done! I expected nothin' less from you, Chief!"

• Before sending out last Pokémon

"Don't go lettin' your guard down yet! I've still got a thrashin' left to give!"

• Upon being defeated

"Gone and got stronger again, have you? Ah well! Hats off to you—in more ways than one!"

• After being defeated

"Gahaha! That's why you're the chief, Chief! Mighty strong Pokémon you've got! Copperajah and the rest look ultra-mega-pleased that they got a chance to cut loose, too!"

• If talked to after picking up the Legendary Clue?

"Hey there, Chief! Thanks for stoppin' by! I'm finally gettin' a little quality family time with my darlin' Nia."

"Hmm? I dropped something at base camp? Is that really mine? I don't recall ever writin' it... Hmm? Hang on—isn't that the Max Lair there in that clue?"

"Huh?"

"Well, sounds like some new, crazy thing's afoot! And you know what that means, Chief! Bet you a new expedition's approachin'! And I know just what to call this one!"

"Ha! How d'you like that one, Chief? Anyway, for now, there's your goal: catch the Pokémon—or whatever—in the photo on that odd clue! Now get pumped for some more adventurin'!"

• If talked to after catching Necrozma

"You actually caught a Pokémon by usin' that mysterious clue?! Let me have a look, would you? So this one's Necrozma, the Prism Pokémon? Looks pretty dark and...un-prism-y, eh? What?! It came from another world, lookin' for light? Sounds like you just need to get more time out in the sun, Necrozma, mate! Chin up—you'll be sparklin' with energy in no time! The picture of prismatic health! That's that, anyway... Chief, mind lettin' me see that Legendary Clue?"

"Gaaahahaha! I didn't write this clue, Chief...but let's not let that stop the fun!"

"Gahahaaa! Haven't got a single shred of an idea!"

"I've got to hand it to you, Chief! Only you could track down and catch a thing like that with just a single photo to go on! Still, I've got to say... Feels like we've come to the end of a chapter or somethin', doesn't it? You look ready to keep on goin' for a while yet, though! Go on then, Chief! Can't wait to hear about all the exploits and adventures you get up to from here on out!"

Old Cemetery

"Hey hey, Chief! What brings you here in the dead of night?"

"Come off it! Me? Rose?! Talk about a mix-up!"

"Oi, Chief. Do you know this joker?"

"..."

"Well, that sure was something! Still...even a bloke like him can inspire that much loyalty, eh? Hm? Oh, I'm just talkin' to myself here! Don't mind me! Well, better pack it in for the night before we get spirited away by some ghost Pokémon! Gahahaha! Nah, just havin' a laugh! Cheers, Chief!"

"All right! Time to go all in for victory, Chief <player>!"

• In the locker room before the second round
