In the core series games

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Naranja^S/Uva^V Academy

• In the entrance hall

"Hm? Are you...? Oh, you must be! You're one of the students chosen for the school trip, aren't you? And your name was...?"

<player>!: "<player>, huh? Well, aren't you full of fire. You're positively dazzling!"

<player>, ma'am: "<player>, huh? Well, aren't you a polite one. You're positively dazzling!"

"Oh, and you even have a Tera Orb! I guess Paldea is rich enough in resources for that sort of thing to be a common sight at school... Unless that's not the case? Are you perhaps an especially exceptional student?"

"Oh, but here I go on and on, and I haven't even introduced myself! Call me—"

"Ahem!"

"Well, as Mr. Jacq so kindly stated for me, my name is Briar. I'm a teacher over at Blueberry Academy."

"This year is Blueberry Academy's turn to run our joint school trip and supervise the students. That's why I came here to collect you. We'll be heading to Kitakami, a land known for its picturesque fields and rice paddies. The place has a rustic feel, but there's also something rather mysterious about it. You see, the same energy present in Paldea's Terastal phenomenon has been detected there! I'm hoping to do some digging into the matter myself—in between my supervising duties."

"Though I'd ALSO appreciate the chance to take a good look around the Great Crater of Paldea..."

"Oh, I know. I've already put in all the proper applications. I trust that I'll get a favorable response soon?"

"Haha! your Mr. Jacq is quite charming, isn't he? Delightfully direct when he wants to be."

"Now then, <player>... It's quite a trip to the land of Kitakami. I hope you don't mind flying. Or long bus rides. Let me know as soon as you're ready to set out, won't you?"

• If talked to again

"Are you ready to set out for Kitakami, <player>?"

No: "You'll be able to come back to Paldea whenever you want, so don't worry too much, OK?"

Yes: "Great! We'll set out together as a group once the other students arrive. I hear you were all chosen for this trip by lottery, so this may be the first time you meet! I know my role is to chaperone you kids around, but I fully intend to have some fun of my own while I'm at it—just so you're aware! By the way... Do you know of the Scarlet Book^S/Violet Book^V?"

I know it: "As you should. It was the most influential book of the century on the subject of the paranormal."

Never heard of it: "Really? Well, that's unexpected. I'm quite sure at least one copy was donated to this school."

"The author of the Scarlet Book^S/Violet Book^V, Heath, was in fact an ancestor of mine. I even have his original manuscript."

"Look here—these are the pages that were blacked out and made illegible in the published version of the book."

"The Pokémon depicted on these pages is called Terapagos. It's a mysterious Pokémon that Heath allegedly encountered when he delved even further into the depths of Area Zero... Not that the general public believed him."

"It's my dream to find Terapagos and prove that Heath's records were all true. Though I haven't yet been able to secure permission to enter Area Zero, unfortunately..."

"But that's fine! It'll all be fine. All I need to do now is focus on the work that's in front of me."

"Looks like the gang's all here. All right everyone! To the land of Kitakami!"

Kitakami Road

"Hahaha! Well, you all survived the long trip! And we haven't lost anyone along the way?"

"Then welcome to the land of Kitakami! This is the stage for all the new experiences and learning opportunities you'll have out in nature!"

"It's actually my first time here too. Why, the rice fields really are just dazzling!"

"Up ahead is Mossui Town. That will be our base of operations for the duration of the trip!"

"Uh-oh! All that travel must have given you a dose of motion sickness, hm? Why don't we pause here for a moment and take in the sight of these fields?"

"Now, <player>... I have a little request for you. Could you run ahead to the community center in Mossui and let the caretaker know we're here? It would also be great if you could explain that one of our students is feeling unwell."

Regardless of choice: "I knew I'd be able to count on you. On your way, then! I'll look after your poor travel buddy here."

• If talked to again

"Could you run ahead to the community center in Mossui and let the caretaker know we’re here?"

• If talked to after the player defeats Carmine

"Motion sickness happens when something upsets the sensory system in your ears that helps you maintain balance. All that shaking will do it!"

Mossui Town

• After the player defeats Carmine

"<player>! I owe you one for fetching the caretaker. Our little travel buddy is feeling much better now too."

"Oh, right... Those two kids were originally from this town, weren't they..."

• Inside the community center

"Thank you for the tour, sir."

"All right, kids, do you have anything to say to the staff who'll be taking such good care of us?"

"You must all be tired after such a long day. I know it's a bit early still, but why don't we have dinner, then call it a night?"

"You're free to spend the rest of the evening as you like in the community center. But remember that tomorrow, the program will be officially kicking off. Don't stay up too late, or you might oversleep!"

• If talked to

"The Blueberry students will join us tomorrow. I hope you all get along!"

• The next day, outside the community center

"Morning, everyone! Did you sleep well? Starting today, you'll be joined by our two students from Blueberry Academy."

"Go on, kids! Time to introduce yourselves."

"Wonderful! What an innovative idea for a group activity!"

"Ah, yes. Real...rad..."

"Remember that one of the goals of this trip is to deepen the ties between our two schools. It seems like having someone who knows the area well would be a big help. That being said... Let's try to maximize the number of interschool pairs, OK? Time to mingle!"

"Nicely done, kids! Nothing like a friendly battle to get to know someone!"

• Inside the community center, if talked to

• Before the Festival of Masks begins

"Finally time to kick off this school trip in earnest. Get out there and do some orienteering! You've come all the way here to Kitakami, so you should see everything it's got to offer!"

• During the Festival of Masks

"On your way to check out the local festival? Fine by me—just don't stay out too late!"

• The day after the Festival of Masks begins

"The candy fruits at the Festival of Masks had such an interesting flavor..."

• Two days after the Festival of Masks begins

"Some student pairs haven't finished the orienteering assignment yet. In the meantime, why not do some exploring? Enjoy Kitakami to your heart's content!"

Crystal Pool

• After the player defeats the Milotic

"The energy coming from those crystals at the bottom of the pool... I knew it!"

"Hi there, Carmine. And <player>, too! I thought you were paired with other students. Did you decide to switch things up?"

"I'm aware that this is sacred ground, yes. I did get permission from the caretaker, though. Was that not sufficient?"

"Oh, just doing a bit of field research. I was interested in the properties of the water here. And, well...my hunch was on the money!"

"You see, the Crystal Pool's waters emit energy of the same wavelength as Terastal energy. Though I have no idea why that is... Once I figure that out, I might be able to stabilize the Terastal phenomenon in regions other than Paldea!"

• If talked to

"If I can just get the Terastal phenomenon to reliably occur in regions other than Paldea, that should bring me one step closer to Terapagos..."

Mossui Town

• Inside the community center, if talked to after visiting the Crystal Pool

"Have you seen crystals like the ones in the Crystal Pool back home in Paldea?"

Loyalty Plaza

• Via Rotom Phone

"Hey there, <player>! This is Briar. It seems all student pairs have completed their orienteering as of this morning. The caretaker wanted to have some words, so could you head back to the community center?"

"Ah, Carmine is with you? Wonderful, that's one less phone call I have to make."

"You kids never cease to amaze me. It seems you became fast friends the moment you spend even the briefest amount of time together. Well, head on over to the community center! I'll be there with the rest of the students."

Mossui Town

• Outside the community center

"Ah, <player>!"

"Everybody's here—well, most of us are here, anyway."

"Now then, the caretaker has some words for us. Let's all give him our full attention!"

"I'm sorry for suddenly springing this on you, but Carmine, Kieran, and I will need to return to Blueberry Academy a little early."

Regardless of choice: "Again, truly sorry, but there have been some developments concerning the Great Crater. I'm afraid we really must be heading back. I realize I was here as your chaperone, but you kids have all proven to be very capable. I'm sure you'll be fine without me."

"Thank you so much for looking after them in my stead."

"Now then... Carmine, I believe you had something you wanted to say?"

"Each moment spent with you kids is just dazzling. For an adult like me? Heh... It's almost blinding."

"Anyway, that about wraps up this school trip! Let's all give our caretaker a great big thank-you!"
