- Before battle
- "*sigh*... So you're finally here, huh?"
- "See, I'm...I'm really not a great Gym Leader. Figured that's why nobody was comin' to challenge me."
- "I have good ears, so I overheard the whole thing about the city bein' shut up. When I was alone, it was like my soul was weepin'."
- "This is a simple Gym Stadium. We can't even Dynamax our Pokémon, but well... I still hope you enjoy the battle."
- "Now then..."
- "I'm the Gym Leader of Spikemuth, Piers, the Dark-type user!"
- "You wanna challenge me, even though you know you'll lose? Then this song's for you, foolish Trainer!"
- "Get ready for a mosh pit with me and my party! Spikemuth, it's time to rock!"
- Upon sending out Scrafty
- "Everyone, cheer on my Pokémon! Let's do it, Scrafty! Intimidate the opponent!"
- Upon sending out Malamar
- "Malamar's gonna mess you all up with its Contrary Ability!"
- Upon sending out Skuntank
- "Everyone's gonna stink, but who cares! Go, Skuntank! Use your Sucker Punch and Toxic!"
- Upon sending out Obstagoon
- "Time to meet another member of my crew! Face the proud, high roar of my Obstagoon!"
- Before sending out his last Pokémon
- "I don't do encores, get it? Not songs... Not moves... Not Pokémon!"
- Commanding Obstagoon to use Throat Chop
- "Here's a number I had saved just for this! You lot in the stands better cheer me on!"
- Upon being defeated
- "Me an' my team gave it our best. Let's meet up again for a battle some time..."
- After being defeated
- "I'm glad we were able to battle. Seems like my Pokémon feel the same way."
- "Here's your Dark Badge."
- "Here's a uniform, too... I’ve actually been thinkin' about just sellin' them at my concerts."
- "My little sis Marnie's gonna challenge me next, I bet."
- "Do you want to go back to the reception area?"
- "So you were watchin', Sis... You won't learn anythin' from seein' me lose."
- "That right? That reminds me. Marnie, there's somethin' I wanted to tell you."
- "I want you to take over the Gym here in Spikemuth as its Gym Leader."
- "Good point. In that case, let your big bro see if you have the skill to be a Champion!"
- "Kid's sure got a mouth on him, huh? If you were that noisy durin' battle, you'd unleash a whole new level of power, you know."
- "Judgin' by appearances? No wonder you lost to your mate."
- "If you're lookin' for the Champion, I saw him headin' to Rose Tower."
- "Dunno what he's up to, but I ran into him at the monorail platform. He said to tell you that he had somethin' to do at Rose Tower, so he'd be late to your dinner."
- "Sheesh... What rude siblings, always so demandin' of others."
- "Though I s'ppose... It's a real problem for me, too, if the Finals are held up for any reason. And I don't really hate the two of you little runts. You were good enough to beat me, after all."
- "So I think I'll invite Team Yell along, and we'll all have ourselves a bit of fun. Shall we?"
- Outside the hotel
- "We decided that Team Yell will cheer you on, <player>. Let's help out together."
- "Tch. This isn't good! But I got this one!"
- "<player>! Team Yell's yellin' will handle this!"
- "For now, we should try to head to the plaza together, right?"
- Yes: "All right, let's all work together and head for Rose Tower."
- No: "Hmm. You should be able to get to the plaza yourself, right?"
- Upon arriving at the plaza
- "Let's find Oleana's League staff member. That bad one was wearin' those lame shades, right?"
- If talked to before finding the League staff member
- "That bad League staff member was wearin' some awful shades. And the key to findin’ anyone is to just ask everyone you meet!"
- After defeating Macro Cosmos's Eric for the first time
- "Seems like nobody's seen that bad League staff member anywhere else. I bet they're hidin' somewhere nearby."
- After defeating Eric for the second time
- "Makes sense for a cornered person to seek out the tightest hidin' place, I guess. Don’t s'ppose you got a box lyin' around?"
- After defeating Eric for the third time
- "Guess that wraps up Oleana's little game. Course, I’m not one to talk, I guess. Team Yell did their fair share of lame tricks... Anyway, let's head to the station."
- "Team Yell, go find Hop! We'll corner that League staff member at the station together!"
- "You did a crackin' job of cornerin’ that bad League staff member, <player>. Let me sing you a song fittin' of your rockin' deeds!"
- "The only thing a humble singer can do is sing a humble song. ♪"
- "Maybe I can't cheer someone on just with the tunes I play. ♪"
- "Maybe my songs don't make anyone happy. Maybe I can't help. ♪"
- "But still the only thing I can do is sing—sing my humble song. ♪"
- "<player>! Hop! Now’s your chance! Go! Get outta here!"
- Outside Rose Tower
- "Times like this—when tension and passion run high—remind me of Spikemuth in the old days. Some right wild concerts we had back then. But no encores!"
- "Wait, you're still here?"
- "You better get goin'! I'll send some support your way with a yell!"
- Wyndon Stadium (Champion Cup Locker Room)
- "I'd say I aim to win this thing... And I'll do it without usin' Dynamax, to help everyone in Spikemuth reclaim their pride... and to see'em smile once again."
- Wyndon Stadium (Champion Cup Locker Room)
- After losing to Raihan
- "Sis. You shouldn't be forcin' your way in here."
- "You got it wrong, Sis. Raihan's just that strong. But I was able to show everyone in the audience how amazin' a proper battle without usin' Dynamax can be."
- "Sorry to come in for a chin-wag just before the final match. Raihan's waiting for you on the pitch. We're lookin' forward to a right good battle."
- Turffield Stadium (Sordward and Shielbert)
- "Hm? You're..."
- "What's going on here?" : "Hah! How carefree can you be? You're the new Champion. You're bigger than a Dynamax Pokémon right now."
- "The audience and staff already took shelter."
- "I'll lend a hand, too. I don't blame the Pokémon, of course, but I'm still just a bit miffed they upstaged me. You come too, bro of the old Champion."
- "I don't really know the guy, but I don't think Leon'd be all lost about this. Though he does get actually lost a lot... You comin'?"
- "This Dynamax stuff... No matter how many times I see it, I still don't like it."
- "Seems there was some discord in the harmony between Trainer and Pokémon."
- "Who are these guys? Spectators and staff should've been evacuated."
- "What?"
- "You think I'd put ay faith in words from rude little punks like you?"
- "Calm down, Hop. You don't gotta act so hard."
- "Yeah, and they could be leadin' us to a trap. It's a bad idea to run in unprepared."
- "Good. Let's all calm down for a sec. Thanks to them runnin' their mouths, we know their goal is to force Pokémon to Dynamax."
- If talked to again
- "How're those two makin' Pokémon Dynamax without any Dynamax Bands? "
- Turffield (Sordward and Shielbert)
- "I'm an ex-Gym Leader. I can be wherever I want. It's not that weird! More importantly, you said there were Dynamax Pokémon at other stadiums?"
- "I'm worried about Marnie!"
- "Ah... I see."
- "Heh. That's the spirit, Champion."
- "We'll leave the researchin' to this, er... Sonia, was it? We should get to the other stadiums and help out."
- If talked to again
- "I'll catch up to you in a bit, so head out first. I'll leave it up to you to decide which stadium we handle first."
- Hulbury Stadium (Sordward and Shielbert)
- "We know the situation. Are the staff and spectators all right?"
- "Tch. Leave us alone."
- Motostoke Stadium (Sordward and Shielbert)
- "Don't think we really got the time for a friendly chin-wag."
- "Yeah. That'd be why we're here."
- After receiving a phone call from Sonia
- "What're those two doin' goin' after Wishing Stars?"
- "He really doesn't think anythin' through... Sure does make him seem a proper fool. Nah, guess the word would be "reckless." We're headed to the Pokémon Lab next, right? Guess I'll stick by you till we see this through."
- Wedgehurst (Sordward and Shielbert)
- Inside of the Pokémon Lab
- "That's right! You lost a battle, but don't lose that rockin' spirit!"
- "Oi. The two of you teamed up, too."
- "I think she's gonna need some cheerin' from her real friends."
- Outside of the Pokémon Lab
- "We were tryin' to be considerate, but..."
- "Heh. Hehehe... You've got some guts."
- If replied "That's awful!"
- "Indeed. What an awful thing to do to Pokémon."
- After detecting more Dynamaxing at the stadiums
- "If there's trouble at the stadiums, then Marnie could be in a real bad way!"
- "*ahem* Righto..."
- Stow-on-Side Stadium (Sordward and Shielbert)
- "Eh, somethin' like that. How're things lookin'?"
- "Things'll probably get even tougher from here. We still got three more stadiums where there's some Dynamax Pokémon runnin' wild. Let's up the tempo."
- Ballonlea Stadium (Sordward and Shielbert)
- "What an obnoxius Gym Leader. The next Gym Challenge is shapin' up to really be somethin'."
- "Yeah, yeah. As expected of a wise 88-year-old granny, I guess."
- After defeating Bede
- "If you both are gonna keep talkin', how 'bout I fetch you a nice cuppa?"
- "Looks like there's two Pokémon Stadiums left to check."
- Circhester Stadium (Sordward and Shielbert)
- "Who d'you think you're talkin' to, then? We're here to help, not be helped."
- "Looks like he ain't used to compliments. Look, he's got a grin wider than a Meowth."
- "There's only one Pokémon Stadium with Dynamax trouble left. Let's finish this already."
- Hammerlocke Stadium (Sordward and Shielbert)
- "Seems Wishing Stars power is bein' used for some evil purpose."
- "Things might actually go better this time if we split up our little band."
- "All that's left is to catch those sword and shield weirdos."
- "Wasn't Professor Sonia s'pposed to be lookin' into where those two might be?"
- After receiving a phone call from Sonia
- "We're already at Hammerlocke Stadium... The door to the Energy Plant should be right down the hall. Guess we should get goin'."
- Energy Plant (Sordward and Shielbert)
- "What's with these weirdos? They really creep me out."
- "I get it... So all those sudden Dynamax Pokémon from before were just your little experiments."
- "Should we head up?"
- At the Tower Summit
- "I was hopin' we could just calm it down like we did with the others. But our opponent is a Legendary Pokémon. If you're thinkin' about catchin' it, think again."
- "As expected of the Champion... You took complete control of the situation. Plus it looks like that Pokémon is waitin' for you."
- "Ugh... Why should I go expectin' those two to start learnin' some manners now?"
- "If you really wanna atone, what's with that posh, superior attitude? Ah, whatever..."
- "<player>, I think I understand why you became the Champion. But...please don't go callin' me anymore. Seems like I'm only gettin' called out when you're in some sticky situation."
- After defeating Hop
- "They didn't get the chance to properly apologize yet."
- "Oi! Don't go runnin' off on your own."
- Wyndon Stadium (Champion Cup Rematch)
- Before battle
- "I'll get the audience pumped up, even without usin' Dynamax!"
- Upon being defeated
- "That's it?! Piers doesn't do encores, but I admit I'm tempted right now!"
- After being defeated
- "Battlin' you makes me wanna try out a new battle style. Maybe a Pokémon battle and a gig combined. What do you think, huh? Could sound battles be a thing?"
- Isle of Armor Random Encounters
- When first spoken to
- "Gah! When I run into you, it's usually a sign things are about to get sticky..."
- "I've got my own business to take care of, so I won't be hangin' around with you this time."
- If found in Fields of Honor
- "Seems like a lot of different Pokémon make this place their habitat — just like the Wild Area."
- If found in Forest of Focus
- "I'm no Leon, but I'm really gettin' turned around in this forest. Might just call a Flying Taxi, if it comes to that."
- If found on Challenge Road
- "That red tower's dead cool lookin', innit? But it's givin' off a real Fightin'-type vibe, so I'm keepin' my distance..."
- If found in Courageous Cavern
- "It's so dim and cool in here... Feels perfect! Sounds get pretty muffled, though. Not the greatest concert acoustics."
- If found on Challenge Beach or Training Lowlands
- "Look at this — a deep blue ocean of pain... I'm sure if Marnie were here, she'd be whinin' about wantin' to have a swim. Me, though, I don't like swimmin' much. I hate gettin' sunburnt."
- If found in Potbottom Desert
- "Alone we stand, Obstagoon and me, with these silent sands for company... Heh. Think this place just gave me the idea for my next song."
- During harsh sunlight or clear skies
- "It's just too sunny out today. I'm not havin' it. I don't mind the humidity, but the heat's all the way up to eleven."
- During overcast conditions
- "You'd think the moves of Dark types would get wicked strong on gloomy, gray days like this, yeah? But you'd be wrong."
- During rain or thunderstorms
- "Look at you. All full of beans, even in this soakin' wet rain. Hope Marnie brought an umbrella if she's out and about..."
- During a sandstorm
- "Seein' a sandstorm takes me back to battlin' Raihan in the Finals."
- During foggy conditions
- "We could take cover in the fog, then lash out suddenly with Sucker Punch... I'm thinkin' up ways we could win without needin' to Dynamax."
- Wyndon Stadium (Galarian Star Tournament)
-
- Partnering with Piers
- In the locker room before the first round
- "Wantin' to partner with someone like me... I won't pretend like I know what you're up to. Dynamaxin' my Pokémon's still off the table, but I'll do whatever else I can in this battle."
- In the locker room before the second round
- "I'm not even a Gym Leader anymore or anything. But thanks to you, it seems like I'm still gettin' in plenty of tough battles, huh?"
- In the locker room before the last round
- "Well. Looks like we made it all the way to the end. So what? Nothing to worry about. This'll be a walk in the park for you and me."
- On the field before the first round battle
- "Hope you're ready to fling that Poké Ball."
- On the field before the second round battle
- "Time for round two."
- On the field before the last round battle
- "I guess the top of the pile ain't a bad spot to aim for."
- Winning the Tournament
- "Hey, winnin' with you's not bad. D'you think the crowd wants an encore? I wouldn't mind makin' an exception to my rule, just this once."
