Quotes

When first met:
...I'm Marley. ...You are..? <player's name>, I want to get through this cave, can I come with you?

When joined:
...Pokémon shouldn't be hurt... I'll heal them...

In conversation:
... You're very chatty.

...The Pokémon among flowers...

Deeper in the cave:
...Oh! This is it. There's a stone tablet ahead... I wanted to see the Pokémon that visits, that's all... I appreciate your escorting me...

...Just a little...

Losing in battle:
...My time with you is drawing to a close...

After battle:
...You're so strong. It makes me feel happy. ...I don't know why. This is a strange feeling...

...I might like battling with you. ...Just a little. Only a tiny bit.

Trivia

• Marley appears to have an interest in Shaymin, and often refers to it when the player speaks to her. She is also involved in the event to catch Shaymin.
• Marley is the only one of the stat Trainers to not use at least one legendary Pokémon in the Battle Tower in Diamond and Pearl. This changes in Platinum, as she has a Raikou.
