"Hmm? Is it that surprising a story, hmm? Hmm... That's curious. You know, just before I ran into you... ...another Pokémon heard that story and reacted, hmm, much the same."

"That was, hmm, Emolga. The second Emolga heard that story about Dunsparce, he... Well, hmm...he seemed just as shocked as you two do right now. Then he turned pale and ran off somewhere, mmm, in a flash."

"Hmm, that's what I recall hearing. Wait a moment...hmm... Do you think something happened, mmm?"

Swanna

Main article: Swanna (Gates to Infinity)

She owns and manages the inn. She allows Espeon and Umbreon to stay at the inn as long as they pay their bills. She is often referred to as the 'signora'. She seems to be the unofficial leader of Post Town.

Gurdurr

Main article: Gurdurr (Gates to Infinity)

Carpenter of Post Town, he got injured in the past and quit building. He meets the player and scams them into getting five blue gems. Scraggy steals the gems, and gives them to Gurdurr. The Timburr, the player and partner Pokémon convince him to give up on scamming. He later joins the player together with Virizion, Dunsparce, Emolga and the Timburr in battle against the Pawniard Brothers and their gang. He eventually opens up his shop in Pokémon Paradise, where he prepares new areas, builds facilities and redecorates.

Timburr Brothers

Main article: Timburr (Gates to Infinity)

They are Gurdurr's apprentices and joined him before he got injured. They tried to convince him to give up scamming. They later join the player alongside Gurdurr, Emolga, Dunsparce and Virizion in battle against the Pawniard. They are shown to be fearful of Gurdurr when he appears to be in a bad mood but have great respect for him. When Gurdurr opens up his shop in Paradise, they assist him when he builds new facilities, redecorates, etc.

Scraggy

He initially works together with Gurdurr to scam other Pokémon. After he is defeated he opens up his move shop in Pokémon Paradise after some convincing by Quagsire. He often insults the player, as well as other Pokémon, such as Victini, but restates it once he realizes Quagsire is standing near him. He tried to hide it, but he does appear to be rather fond of the player.

Quotes

• In Post Town:

"I-I'm sorry! I'm just really in a hurry! P-please excuse me!"

• In Hazy Pass:

"Took ya long enough. I wanna get down to business, yo!"

"Yeah, yeah... I've got what I promised you. Gettin' a little greedy, huh?"

"Heh! Well, that's true enough. Course I could just go into Stony Cave myself and get some, but... ...Well, it does get pretty dicey in there. Having you lend your particular expertise to that problem is... ...just plain expedient. Ain't no other way about it."

"What! You're gonna have 'em get you even more? Those little losers?!"

"You serious?! Dude, you're cold! It's their dream to build their own home, ain't it? They're gonna keep believing in that dream and just keep bringing you gems forever? Never knowing it won't come true? Maaan, I think I could cry. Ain't you got any heart left?"

"Well, you ain't wrong there. Nahahahahahahahahaha!!!"

"You...you were tailing me? You mean you actually saw through my mad skills? I'm impressed, losers. But...watcha think you're gonna do now? You wanna fight? With the two of us? I'm warning you now, I've been tussling on the wrong side of the route my whole life. The Pokémon battles I've lived through...well, little squirts like you couldn't imagine. Id'd be best for you to just toddle off home to your mamas, you hear?"

"My, my, my. And even after I went to the trouble of warning you losers..."

• After being defeated:

Virizion

Main article: Virizion (Gates to Infinity)

She is a lone warrior and arrives in Post Town, everyone fawning over her. She is known for rejecting any advances (friendship or love), which includes the latest from Dunsparce. She opens up and battles the Pawniard alongside the player, Dunsparce, Emolga, Gurdurr and the Timburr, after which she is automatically recruited into the team. It is later revealed by Umbreon, that Keldeo went to the Great Glacier and sent a note that he really wanted to get away from her. This caused Virizion to not want to associate with anyone, thinking that everyone would betray her.

Dunsparce

Initially introduced as a very shy guy and Emolga's best friend, he's revealed to have taken a liking to Virizion like everyone else in the town. He tries to get Virizion's attention by presenting her with a gift, but gets rejected. He gets tricked by the Pawniard into going to Desolate Canyon with them and the player, Gurdurr, the Timburr, Virizion and Emolga join him in battle against the Pawniard. He reconciles with Virizion and gets automatically recruited into the team together with Emolga. On the day of the Magnagate opening he pulls the short straw, but at the last second Emolga pushes Dunsparce in and he stays behind.

Quotes

"Ohhh... What am I going to do... Ah!"

"Emolga!"

• When giving the player their reward:

"<player>! <partner>! Thank you so much for rescuing me!"

"Ygh... I know... I really want to be the kind of Pokémon who does the rescuing, you know... But I'm not strong... And I get afraid...and then I always lose my nerve when the big moment arrives... I always mess up, and then I have to be the one who gets rescued in the end... I guess I'm just really not cut out to be an adventurer..."

"Yes! It's my dream to become a first-rate adventurer. It would be nice to explore all kinds of different places on adventures, of course... But really...I'd just like to help Pokémon around the world who are in trouble! I want to be able to give coureage and hope to Pokémon that are suffering! I just want to be useful--even a little! ...Th-that's my dream anyway. But... There's a huge gap between dreams and reality...and no matter what I do, I can't..."

"I wanted a crystal. I'd heard that the crystals in Stompstump Peak are really beautiful..."

"Ahh! That's it! This is it! This is the crystal I wanted! Wow, it really is beautiful!"

"What?! Are you sure?"

"Th-thank you!"

"Oh! I... Um, that's--I--! You see... Hoho..."

• When Virizion appears:

"...Y-yes... Hoho..."

"What?! I...I can't do that!!! I really, really want to be friends with Virizion! But... How could I ever be brave enough to talk to someone like her? There's no way she'd even notice someone like me..."

"Whaaaaat?!"

"Wait... You guys! Hey!"

• In the inn:

"Umm... Well... Th-this is... This crystal is for you, Miss Virizion!"

"Yes! That's right! P-please! Please be my friend!"

"Sniff... I... Waaaaaahhhhhh!!!"

• In Quagsire's flashback:

"R-really?!"

"Y-yeah."

• Desolate Canyon:

"I-I think... I think I'd better go home after all..."

"I...I was really upset back in town... When I heard what you two were saying, I thought, "I want to be strong right away!" And that's why I came this far, but... But... I'm not sure just getting stronger...is what I really want..."

"A-and besides... When I really think about it...no one can become strong just like that, right?"

"So I-I...I'm going home. Good-bye!"

"Eek!!!"

"Ugh..."

"Emolga!"

"<partner>!"

"<partner>..."

"Emolga! Everybody! I'm going to fight! You don't need to protect me! I will fight and I won't be afraid! I promise! So you should all--!"

"You..."

• After winning:

"It's...it's finally over!"

"Yeah... I guess I got rescued again, huh? But I...was actually gullible enough to believe I could be strong just like that... It was all because of me that you all... Ahh, I really am useless...aren't I..."

"Emolga..."

"Wha--?"

"Wow!"

"A-are you sure? I mean, I'm not..."

"Then I...I definitely wat to join you!"

"<player>! <partner>! I'm going to do my best! Let's make a real paradise together!"

"I... I... Hoho..."

• The next morning:

"<player>! <partner>!"

"Good morning!"

"We're going to form a team?"

"OK, then we should start thinking of a team name!"

Emolga

He is first met when the player is looking for Dunsparce. He is Dunsparce's best friend and encourages to give Virizion a gift as a means of appreciation. After she rejects him, he instantly hates her and demands for her apology. He votes against her joining the team, but is later accepting towards her. When the player is asked to fill in a team name, he suggests "Emolga's Enforcers" which is longer than the character limit. When Dunsparce pulls the short straw, Emolga pushes him into the Magnagate.

Quotes

• Upon meeting the player:

"Who's that? Who's over there?! Dunsparce... Nope, clearly not. They don't really look like enemy Pokémon either, but..."

"Request? Ohhh. That bulletin board thing. So there are still Pokémon desperate enough to work for that dinky reward, huh? Thanks, though. I could use your help. I'm Emolga. I'm looking for Dunsparce, too. Dunsparce is my best friend, got it? But... He's a bit of a coward really...and he's always messing up... Pretty much whenever he does anything, he ends up needing someone to bail him out. So, you know, I was getting a bit worried and decided to look for him myself... If you guys happen to find him first, take care of him would ya? See ya."

• Upon finding Dunsparce:

"Dunspaaarce!"

"Thank goodness! So this is where you were! You guys found him, huh? Thanks. We owe you big time."

• When the player receives their first reward:

"I'm glad we found you this time, but... you've gotta stop being so reckless!"

"That...that's not true! I mean, sure, you're a bit of a coward and so things don't always go so well... But your heart's in the right place, right? That's pretty hard to find these days."

"But why'd you try going someplace like Stompstump Peak again?"

"Aha! So that's it! You wily scamp! So that's what you were after, huh?"

• When Virizion appears:

"Dunsparce has adored Virizion from the first time he laid eyes on her... he really wants her to be his friend."

"Dunsparce! This is your big chance! Go and give 'er that crystal!"

• In the inn:

"The Rainbows of Hope! I've heard of them, too!"

"D...Dunsparce..."

"Dunspaaarce! Virizion! That was so cold! What is wrong with you?! You could've just accepted his gift, you know! Argh!"

• Desolate Canyon:

"Don't you touch Dunsparce!"

"Freeze, you two! Don't you move a muscle! Dunsparce is my best friend, you hear!"

"<player>!"

"Hmph! How about it, bullies? Watcha gonna do now? Your chances don't look so good now, do they?"

"Whoaaa!"

"Urgh!"

"Dunsparce..."

• After winning:

"We... We beat 'em! We really chased away the bad guys! We did it!!!"

"Dunsparce! You OK?"

"That's not true! You realized it before it went too far, didn't you? That it's not that easy to get strong. If you hadn't, we would've been way worse off! We might've had to fight those bullies on their own turf instead of here in the open! I'm glas they didn't take you all the way to their hideout. And besides... You fought bravely to the end, without giving in to fear, right? You did good, Dunsparce. I for one think you gave it your all."

"Y-you want us?!"

"I... Well, I don't really mind, if that's what Dunsparce wants to do."

"Guess I don't have much choice then... I'll give it my all, too! Let's do this!"

"You--! What do you think you're trying to pull now, huh?! What happened to all your big talk about not making friends? Not trusting anyone? You just say whatever comes into your head, don't you? You're messing with us! If you're just toying with us, then we don't need you in our Paradise!"

"I...I do NOT approve! No way! Come on, <partner>! Tell her to hit the road!"

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! Why should I have to be friends with someone like her?! I'll never accept you, you hear that? Right, Dunsparce? You've gotta feel the same, don't you?"

"Whaaaaaat?!"

"I'm not OK with this, <partner>. Seriously not OK. Just so you know."

"Why would you even want someone like that in your Paradise?!"

"Wha-what kind of reason is that?!"

• The next morning

"Morning, <player> and <partner>! Hey, <partner>... It looks like Pelipper's here with some kinda delivery for you."

"No way! What does it say?"

"Sounds good to me. If we become a team and get Team Badges, we could take on anything!"

"Yeah! That's right! Hmmm... How about Emolga's Enforcers? Pretty cool, right?"

"Hey! What about my idea?!"

"I think it's good, too!"

"Right? That's because it's an awesome name! "Emolga's Enforcers" it is, then-- ...Hey! You guys haven't been listening to a single thing I've been saying, have you?!"

After the player defeats Munna and her friends for the first time, he destroys Hydreigon and stomps on the player.

The player believes they must rescue Munna from Hydreigon, but later discovers that Munna works for Kyurem, and is in fact out to destroy the player. After she and her friends are defeated by the player and their partner, she seems to come around to their way of thinking when she realizes she doesn't want her friends to be destroyed, and saves the player from falling in the Glacier Palace and cheers them on during the final battle with the Bittercold. She appears to be the leader of her friends, as they often refer to her as "Lady Munna".

Pawniard Brothers

Main article: Pawniard (Gates to Infinity)

They scam Dunsparce with a deal of getting stronger to get Virizion to be his friend. Once he realized this they started to attack him, but the player, and partner appear, and it becomes 3 on 2 until they call their goons and it becomes 6 on 3. Virizion, Emolga, Gurdurr, and The Timburr Bros. appear and they all battle. The Pawniard Brothers lose and flee.

Toxicroak and Purugly

Munna's friends and cohorts. They chase Umbreon and Espeon in search of the Entercards. When Umbreon makes it safely to Post Town, they catch Espeon and search her but don't find the Entercards, due to Espeon hiding them with Swadloon. They are then defeated by the hero and partner. It is later revealed that they work with Munna, Kyurem, and the Bittercold. Like Munna, they also change their minds about the world's destruction and cheer on the player during the final battle.

Salamence

During the trip to destroy the Bittercold, the player is faced with a battle against Salamence and two Chandelure who are part of Munna's gang. After Salamence is defeated, the three villains fall in defeat. Shortly after, Emolga is attacked by one of the two Chandelure but Espeon appears and knocks it out before it can do any harm. The player's team then uses Entercards to access the Glacier Palace. Salamence is added to the boss list after the player defeats it.
