"Ahahaha! I'm Phoebe of the Elite Four. I did my training on Mt. Pyre. While I trained, I gained the ability to commune with Ghost-type Pokémon. Yes, the bond I developed with Pokémon is extremely tight. So, come on, just try and see if you can even inflict damage on my Pokémon!"

• Being defeated

"Oh, darn. I've gone and lost."

• After being defeated

"There's a definite bond between you and your Pokémon, too. I didn't recognize it, so it's only natural that I lost. Yup, I'd like to see how far your bond will carry you. Go ahead, move to the next room."

• Over the PokéNav^E

"Hi, <player>. How about coming back here again sometime? I'd like to see much tighter your bond has grown with your Pokémon."

• Random conversation

"How many other Trainers or Pokémon did you deepen bonds with since you came to Pasio?"

"I was hoping that I would be able to become stronger here."

"And make new friends."

"So that's why I'm really happy that I can talk to you like this! Ahahaha!"

• If spoken to again

"Talking is great, isn't it? It lets you communicate your feelings to others!"

"Even if you don't speak the same language, even if you can't see each other..."

"As long as you want to share something and are willing to listen, you can be friends with anyone!"

"So when I was a member of the Elite Four and the Pokémon League, I couldn't see my grandma. That made me sad."

• If spoken to again

"Grandma tells me that the most important thing is the bond between you and your Pokémon."

"That's why my Pokémon and I cherish our bonds!"

• Random conversation

"There's a Pokémon called Sableye in the Hoenn region!"

"It has jewels for eyes, which sparkle, and it's really cute!"

"It's a bit of a prankster, so it might be a handful, but be nice if you ever see one."

• If spoken to again

"A lot of people might not notice them, but there are Pokémon in a lot more places than you would expect!"

"For example...right behind your back..."

"Wait a minute... There aren't any wild Pokémon on Pasio..."

History

Ruby & Sapphire arc

Phoebe and the other Elite Four members were called by Steven to help protect the Hoenn region from the battle between Groudon and Kyogre. While the other Elite Four are tasked with attempting to open the chambers containing the Legendary Pokémon Regirock, Regice, and Registeel, Phoebe goes to meet with a blind boy that holds a slab that has the secret to awaken the three Pokémon.

After the slab is translated and Steven manages to awaken the Legendary Pokémon, Phoebe is tasked with controlling Regice alongside Glacia. The Elite Four, Steven, and Wallace all control the three legendary titans in three pairs of two and use their power to keep the power released from Groudon and Kyogre's battle from spreading throughout Hoenn. They manage to keep the power contained for several weeks, but the strain is too much for Steven and he eventually dies, causing the three Pokémon to lash out and flee. Phoebe later mourns Steven's death before his revival at the hands of Ruby's Celebi.

Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc

Phoebe, along with various people from around Hoenn, is called to Sootopolis City to assist in stopping Grand Meteor Delta, a giant meteoroid threatening to destroy the planet. When the plan to attack Grand Meteor Delta starts, Phoebe and the others have their Pokémon attack the meteoroid at the same time. This, combined with the might of Mega Rayquaza, successfully shatters Grand Meteor Delta into pieces.

Regice

Debut	A Royal Rumble with Regirock, Regice and Registeel II

Regice was awakened by Steven and the Elite Four to be used to contain Groudon and Kyogre's power. Phoebe controlled Regice with Glacia while the others controlled Regirock and Registeel. After Steven died from the strain of controlling the three Pokémon, Regice lashed out and ran away. It was later found by Brandon and captured.
