"Hey, Cheren. What's with the long face?"

"Yeah, I get it, buddy."

"We might have to go up against Champion-level Trainers from here on out. If we're lucky, we'll be evenly matched."

"In some respects, we're here as challengers. There are probably going to be some rough battles up ahead."

"Use our strength to help one another, huh?"

"Pfft."

"Sorry, sorry. It's just that..."

"I just remembered how you were before we started exploring Unova. You really have changed a lot since then."

"You got that right. I want to use everything I learned during my journey to triumph in this tournament."

"Hey...I've got an idea!"

"I think I might know someone who's in the same boat as us!"

"Cheren! I'm talking about somebody who might wanna join our team for the PML! Come on, follow me!"

"You've seen firsthand what an awesome Trainer Hilda is, right, Cheren?"

"And all three of us have gone through similar journeys across Unova, right? I was thinking...that might help us really get in sync as a team!"

"We're all Trainers that explored the Unova region."

"But not just that! We trained together on Pasio, strengthening our bonds!"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Hilbert

What’s going on?/That’s a lot of Pokémon!: "Whoa! <player>! I didn’t see you there!"

"Ha ha, yeah. I was wondering what I was going to do with all these."

"Before I realized it, these Pokémon were following me."

"There aren’t any wild Pokémon on Pasio, right?"

"If that’s true, there must be a lot of Trainers out there looking for their Pokémon right now."

"Do you think you could help me find all of their Trainers, <player>?"

Sure!: "Great! Thank you so much!"

No way! That’s too much trouble!: "Whoa, Oshawott! Calm down! Sorry, I guess he wants you to help us out. You’ll help me? Really? Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!"

"Let’s first ask around to every Trainer we come across."

"Maybe we can find some clues that way!"

"I can’t thank you enough! We were able to get all of those Pokémon back to their Trainers, thanks to you!"

"But I wonder why they got separated to begin with? They all mentioned seeing some suspicious Trainers going around."

It might be those knuckleheads with the masks./Maybe there are bad Trainers about?: "Oh, you may be right. I didn’t think of that possibility."

"If that’s the case, maybe it’s for the best that those Pokémon gathered around me."

"I’ve been to all sorts of regions, training my Pokémon and testing my abilities."

"Oshawott looks like he wants to get stronger, as well."

"I’ve had Oshawott since he was an Egg."

"I found that Egg a while back, after I had left a Samurott I had at a Pokémon Day Care."

"I think he wants to be like my Samurott. I can’t blame him. Samurott is really strong."

"I want to help Oshawott and make his dream to become a strong Samurott come true."

"Seeing those Pokémon and Trainers got me thinking."

"Trainers and Pokémon don’t really do well on their own, do they?"

"Ah, sorry. Guess I’m just starting to ramble now."

"You’re such a good listener that I got carried away."

"That reminds me. You want to be stronger, right?"

Yup!/No, not stronger. Strongest!: "Then it might be a good thing that we teamed up!"

"I think we’re on the same wavelength!"

"I’m sure we’ll be tagging along at least until Oshawott reaches his full potential."

"I’m with you not only as your teammate, but as a friend and rival!"

"So here’s to us!"

Story Event - Fight or Fright

• Trick or Treat!

"We were a little worried at first since he bolted all of a sudden. Glad you found each other!"

"Y'know, I think I read somewhere that Mimikyu disguise themselves as Pikachu to get close to people and other Pokémon..."

"Have you noticed that your Pikachu hasn't stopped staring at Acerola's Mimikyu since you arrived?"

"Maybe Mimikyu's disguise is making him curious."

Are you with Mightyena, Hilbert?: "Yeah! He and I are partners tonight. Oshawott is over at the beach playing with Acerola's Palossand."

"We didn't want to disturb all the fun they were having, so we let them stay and play."

"In that case, you'd better get your special shout ready! We've got a bunch of battles to win!"

• Frightful Festivities

"Fight or fright!"

"I don't know about you, but I prefer Pokémon battling to getting the pants scared off of me!"

"Nice! Looks like you've already got a pretty good stash. This is just the beginning, though!"

"Hang on a sec! Challenging me to a battle is totally fine, but...you do know what's going on tonight, right?!"

"Right... But we're not just battling tonight. There's candy and..."

"Wait, you DO know about the special rule then? Phew, that's good..."

"Huh? No, no! That's not the rule we're talking about, Hilda!"

"All right, the battle's over now, Hilda. *sigh* This is getting exhausting..."

"Yeah, of course I do. But battling isn't what's making me exhausted... Listen, Hilda. I think you're confused."

"Acerola tried, but you rushed us into a battle before she could finish explaining..."

Pokémon Center

• Special Unova Rally event intro

"We were just thinking of having a get-together with all the Trainers from Unova who are here on Pasio!"

• Special Fight or Fright story event intro

"Wahh! Acerola, I told you not to sneak up on me like that!"

"We said we weren't gonna start any of that until we go out later tonight, remember?"

"Sorry about that, <player>. We're actually getting ready to do some trick-or-treating in town tonight."

"Yeah, why don't you join us? It'll be fun!"

• Random conversation

"I feel comfortable when I'm with you. You're reassuring, somehow."

"So, y'know, even if you become an amazing Trainer..."

"I hope our relationship won't change. I hope we'll stay friends."

"So, uh, this is a little embarrassing, but... Let's stick together, <player>!"

• If spoken to again

"When I watch your Pokémon battles, it makes me feel..."

"It's hard to explain. Like my heart's on fire? It makes me want to battle, too."

• Random conversation

"I've been traveling all over the place, and then I was called here to Pasio."

"Traveling is good for you. You get to see new sights and meet new people and Pokémon."

"You're one of the new people I've met during my travels, you know? And I'm very happy for that!"

• If spoken to again

"Don't you think it's kind of miraculous when we meet new people or Pokémon?"

"The world is so big, there are so many people and Pokémon that'll never meet each other..."

"And yet we've met here, and now we're talking and becoming friends!"

"I hope we can make this meeting something really special."

• Random conversation

"I like Pokémon battles because I really want to experience the joy of victory, I guess."

"So much goes into winning a battle. You have to plan your strategy, raise your Pokémon, read your opponent's moves..."

"It just feels wonderful when you can bring all those factors together and seize victory!"

• If spoken to again

"When we win, my Pokémon get really happy, too!"

"That goes for that frustrating feeling when we lose, too, of course."

"I think Pokémon battles are a form of communication."

• Random conversation

"Even if it's a place you've been to many times before, you can discover new things if you just pay a little closer attention."

"I really enjoy looking for little secrets like that, you know?"

"You might discover a path you never saw before or meet new Pokémon. It's hard to quit exploring once you get into it!"

"I'd love it if we could go exploring together, too!"

• If spoken to again

"Forests and mountains are fun to explore, sure, but cities can also be really exciting."

"My favorite thing to do is look for great restaurants that are off the beaten path!"

"Besides, if the Pokémon I meet seem like they're having fun, it makes me smile, too!"

• Random conversation

"I'm really looking forward to the Pokémon battles on Pasio."

"Each place has its own powerful Trainers."

"So whenever I'm going to face strong Trainers, I always wonder how far I'll be able to go."

• If spoken to again

"Seeing you get stronger and stronger... It really makes me feel like I can't lag behind, either!"

"In other words, you are a great inspiration for me!"

• Random conversation

"I'm a bit of a sore loser. I try not to let it show, since I don't want people thinking I'm childish."

"But that does mean I battle to win, even if it's against you!"

"You're my friend, and that's why I want to go all out in our battles! No holding grudges, even if you lose!"

• If spoken to again

"It's like, we're together a lot...but that's exactly why I don't want to lose. Do you have that kind of competitiveness, too?"

"I guess having this kind of feeling about each other is what you'd call a rivalry."

"Well, I hope we can stay good friends--and good rivals!"

• Special log-in conversation

"Hey, <player>! I figured you'd be coming soon."

"Battles seem more fun when you're around. Let's do our best today, too!"

• Special log-in conversation (afternoon)

"Afternoon! Wanna go for a walk or something? Oh, and while we're at it, I also want to do some Pokémon battles."

• Special gift conversation

"Hey, I found something good, so I figured I'd share it with you!"

"It's best to share happiness with another person, after all!"

"I'm pretty good at finding items, since I've traveled so much."

"I'll let you know if I find anything else good!"

• Special Unova Rally event conversation with Hilda and Rosa

"Well, that's nice of you to say."

"I guess no matter how much things change, Trainers will always have that passion for battle!"
