|---|---|
| Lillie | Let's have another fantastic year! |
| Lillie | I wonder what this new year will bring. |
| Lance | I hope we meet lots of new people and have a ton of new experiences! |
- Johto-Style Celebration
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Lillie | Oh, <player>! Happy New Year! Right now, traditional outfits from Johto are in fashion here on Pasio! |
| Lance | There are many Trainers here from regions far from Johto. This must be pretty new for them. It's really changed the look of Pasio lately. When I'm out and about, I feel like I'm back home! |
| Lillie | These traditional outfits come in a bunch of different styles, but this design is the best for celebrating the new year! It wasn't easy to put on, but I did my best! Hehe! How does it look? |
| Lance | I also decided to mix things up and sport a new look for the occasion. Check out the Gyarados design on my outfit. Doesn't it look powerful? |
| Lillie | Speaking of designs, I've been seeing lots of cards around town with pictures of Pokémon on them! People send these kinds of cards to their friends and loved ones to celebrate the new year! |
| Lance | That's right. It looks like this year's cards have designs inspired by the Johto region. If you're interested, why don't we go into town to see the cards? |
| Lillie | Sure! <player>, why don't you join us, too! |
- Pasio's New Card Couriers
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
They came across a Trainer whose Pelipper looked a bit ill. | |
| Lillie | Oh no, Pelipper. What's wrong? |
| Pokémon Ranger | Pelipper isn't feeling so good, so we're taking a breather here. |
| Lillie | I've an idea! Why don't we give Pelipper one of Ribombee's pollen puffs? They're really nutritious! And they're so yummy, I bet Pelipper won't want to stop eating them! Here, Pelipper. Say "ahh!" |
| Pokémon Ranger | Thanks a lot! Pelipper's looking a little better now! Now all we have to do is rest up at the Pokémon Center! But there's just one problem... |
| Lillie | Pelipper's mailbag... Were you making deliveries? |
| Pokémon Ranger | Yeah, we were in the middle of delivering greeting cards—a whole bunch of 'em, too. Pelipper really wants to make sure everyone gets their cards. |
| Lillie | Oh no, you can't! You'll overwork yourself! |
| Pokémon Ranger | I wanted to ask the other courier Pokémon for help, but it looks like they're all busy. |
| Lillie | Um...Lance, <player>? Why don't we help them deliver those cards? |
| Lance | Sure, I'd be happy to. I can't turn down a request from a Pokémon in need of help. My Dragonite can fly. He can help us deliver these cards. Why don't we say hi to some people while we're out making these deliveries? |
| Lillie | Sounds good to me!: Thanks for the help, you two! Sure, let's do it!: Great! I'll do what I can to help, too! |
| Pokémon Ranger | Sorry for the trouble, but thanks for the help! We appreciate it! |
| Lillie | No problem! Leave it to us! Lance, <player>, let's get to work, shall we? Ribombee, please fly around and help us find the Trainers we need to deliver these to! OK, our first delivery is to... |
| Lance | Silver! It looks like he got some cards from Ethan and Lyra. I think I know where he might be. Let's head over to the forest. |
- New Year, Old Rival
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Lance | I knew you'd be here. I see Blue is with you, too. |
| Silver | Lance...what are you doing here? |
| Lance | We're here to deliver some cards from Ethan and Lyra, and we also came to say happy New Year. |
| Silver | From Ethan and Lyra? |
| Blue | Hey, that's awesome, Silver. Better take real good care of those cards, eh? |
| Silver | Hmm. How nice of them. |
| Lillie | We have a bunch of cards for you, too, Blue! |
| Blue | Cool, thanks! Wait, you guys are helping deliver these? |
| Lillie | Wh-whoa! Take a look at all these cards for Blue, <player>! Most of them are from Gym Leaders and members of the Elite Four! |
| Blue | Heh, what can I say? When you're as big as me, you rub elbows with a lot of important people! By the way, do you know if Red and Leaf got the cards I sent to them yet? |
| Lillie | W-wow! Even more famous names! |
| Blue | Hahaha! The three of us all go way back! But you better prepare yourself if you have cards in that bag for them! Those two are always running all over the place, and they're notoriously hard to pin down! |
| Lillie | W-we'll do our best! |
| Lance | Well then, I suppose it's time for us to go. Sorry for interrupting your practice session. |
| Silver | ...Wait. Can you give these to Ethan and Lyra? |
| Lillie | Wow! What pretty feathers! |
| Lance | They're Ho-Oh feathers. It's a really popular design on clothing and greeting cards in Johto. |
| Silver | I got these from Ho-Oh. Unfortunately, I don't have any cards to send. But one look at those feathers, and they'll know exactly who sent them. |
| Lance | Pretty fancy way to send a greeting! Looks like there are three feathers... |
| Silver | Yeah, one's for you. The message is the same for all of them. "I'm definitely not going to lose to you." |
| Lance | I understand! And I accept! |
| Blue | That's a great rivalry you've got there! Reminds me of my Kanto days! |
| Lillie | Well, time for us to head out again! See you later, Blue, Silver! |
| Blue | You, too! Be careful out there! Happy New Year! |
- New Year's Resolutions
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Lillie | Phew! Looks like we're almost done delivering all these cards! Let's see, this next one is... Oh! It's for you, Lance! |
| Lance | For me? |
| Lillie | Here you go! Looks like it's from Clair! |
| Lance | Thanks, Lillie. It's been a long time since I've gotten a card from Clair. What's this? "I'll be waiting for you at the beach." Hahaha! It sounds like she's challenging me to a battle! |
| Lillie | Well, we also have some cards for her. Why don't we head over to the beach? |
| Lance | I see... In that case, I guess I'll accept her challenge! To the beach! |
| Clair | There you are, Lance! Come on, let's battle! |
| Lance | Of course! I, Lance the Dragon Master, accept your challenge! And since I'm wearing this impressive Gyarados outfit, Gyarados and I will take you on! |
| Clair | What?! You're using Gyarados?! |
| Lance | Well, Dragonite is out delivering cards right now. Besides, the best Trainers know how to adapt to unpredictable situations, right? |
| Clair | I-I know that! Let's go, Kingdra! |
| Clair | Urgh... We practiced so hard to battle Dragonite at this spot. We even had a strategy to use the environment to our advantage. |
| Lance | I see. You had a game plan and everything. That's why you sent me this card, huh? I remember when we were kids, you once sent me a cute card that had dragon Pokémon on it. Ah, that sure takes me back... |
| Clair | Why do you even remember that? It was such a long time ago! |
| Lance | So what was your plan if I didn't show up? Were you going to wait here all day? |
| Clair | Of course not! I was planning on training here anyway! |
| Lillie | Clair, why did you want to battle Lance right at the start of the new year? |
| Clair | Hmmm. You could say it was one of my New Year's resolutions. It's a chance for me to look back on how much I've grown and set goals for the new year! |
| Lillie | I see! So that's why you wanted to battle right when the new year started! Oh, before I forget—there are a bunch of cards here for you, Clair! |
| Clair | Really? Thank you! *chuckle* There's even one from Iris. Wait, you're delivering these? Are you sure it's OK to take such a long break? |
| Lance | We'll be fine! We're actually ahead of schedule. |
| Lillie | But we should probably get going now. See you later, Clair! |
| Clair | Yeah, see you later! I'm gonna beat you for sure this year, Lance! |
- A Heartfelt Thank-You
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Pokémon Ranger | Thank you so much! Pelipper's feeling a lot better now! |
| Lillie | No problem! I'm so glad you're feeling better, Pelipper! Don't push yourself so hard, OK? |
| Pokémon Ranger | As a little thank-you, please accept these cards from me! |
| Lillie | Wow! Look at all these designs! Are you sure it's OK for us to have these? |
| Pokémon Ranger | Yep! Feel free to send them to all the special people in your life! This time, Pelipper and I will be the ones making sure they get delivered! |
| Lillie | Awesome!: Thank you! I'm glad we were able to help! These designs are great!: Aren't they? There are even designs with Clefairy and Ribombee! Feel free to call on us again if you ever need help making deliveries! Ribombee and I had a lot of fun delivering all those cards! |
| Lillie | We asked the courier Pokémon to deliver most of the cards... but as for the rest, I think we can deliver these in person! |
| Lance | Very well! Let's head on out! |
| Lillie | To all my dearest friends and family from Alola, happy New Year! Ever since I arrived on Pasio, my days have been full of exciting experiences and encounters. I'm enjoying my time here every day. I think that I'm able to have so much fun thanks to everything you all taught me back in Alola. I'll keep on doing my best to become a great sync pair with my Pokémon. The next time I see you, I hope we can surprise you with how much we've grown! |
| Lillie | Thank you for all of your support last year. I hope this year will be even better! |
Story Event - Baking Buddies
- Pokémon Center
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Dawn | I can't wait to get baking! |
| Serena | Hey, Dawn, have you decided who you're going to give sweets to for Palentine's Day? |
| Dawn | Of course I have! I'm going to give some to you and Alcremie and Whimsicott and... |
| Serena | Hehe! Thanks, Dawn. I'll be sure to give you some, too! |
| Dawn | Thank you! I can't wait to try whatever you make! I can't wait to get baking! |
- Happy Palentine's Day!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Serena | Hey, <player>! Would you like to do something fun for Palentine's Day with us? |
| Dawn | Palentine's Day is a day for showing thanks to all the people close to you by giving them sweets. Pretty sweet event, huh? We're going to make our Palentine's Day sweets from scratch! |
| Serena | We even changed outfits into something more suited to the task! |
| Dawn | We can get the ingredients we need for our sweets in town. Why don't you join us? |
| Serena | We're going to go ahead and make our way to town. We'll see you there later! |
- Clumsy but Genuine
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Serena | Hey! Over here! |
| Dawn | Thanks for coming, <player>! |
| Serena | Now that you're here, let's get started collecting the ingredients we need to make sweets. How do we do it?: By having Pokémon battles at the ingredient shops! Collect? We aren't buying them?: When we find ingredients we want, we have to challenge that store to a Pokémon battle! |
| Dawn | Lear made a special deal with the shops here on Pasio just for Palentine's Day. The deal made it so that we can get the ingredients we need for Palentine's Day sweets through Pokémon battles! |
| Serena | Right! So all we have to do to get ingredients is win battles! Sounds good! I'm ready to battle!: That's the spirit! With you and Dawn here, getting all the ingredients we need will be a piece of cake! OK! Let's get lots of ingredients!: Yeah! With you and Dawn here, gathering ingredients will be a piece of cake! |
| Dawn | All right! Before we battle, let's check what ingredients we need. |
| Serena | We're going to make Poké Puffs. They're a popular treat in Kalos. As far as ingredients go, we'll need frosting, chocolate, and Berries. I think the perfect shop for us is right over there! |
| Dawn | Wait, is that Cheryl over there? |
| Ace Trainer (1) | Are you sure I'll be OK? You've done so much to help me. If I just fail again... |
| Cheryl | Don't worry! I know you'll do a good job with this recipe. |
| Serena | Hello, Cheryl. Is something wrong? |
| Cheryl | Oh, hello, Serena and Dawn. Ah, <player> is here, too, I see. Are you all here to gather what you need for Palentine's Day sweets? |
| Dawn | Yes, but we can stop to help out if there's something you need help with! |
| Cheryl | Well, the truth is... |
| Serena | I see. So there's someone you want to show your thanks to, but you're not very good at making sweets? |
| Ace Trainer (1) | I tried a few times, but I could never quite get it right. I was sitting here in front of the shop, trying to figure out if there was anything I could actually make, when Cheryl offered to help. |
| Cheryl | I thought she might have a better chance with a simple recipe, so I told her one that I know. But she said that she still wasn't confident in her ability with just the recipe alone, so... |
| Dawn | I see. In that case, why don't you two come make sweets with us? I know how it feels to have someone special who you want to show thanks to. What do you two think of that plan? |
| Serena | The more the merrier!: I don't mind, either. Let's make some tasty sweets together! It sounds like fun!: It sure does. Let's all have fun making some tasty sweets together! |
| Ace Trainer (1) | Th-thank you! I'll do my best! |
| Dawn | All right! Let's get to collecting ingredients! |
- Pal Collaboration!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Dawn | I think we've got the ingredients we need. Now we just need somewhere to make the sweets. |
| Lillie | Oh, hey, <player>! Are you getting ready for Palentine's Day? Yeah. You, too?: Yes! I'm about to head to Professor Bellis's lab to make some sweets! You're collecting ingredients, too?: I actually already got all I need. I'm about to head to Professor Bellis's lab to make some sweets! Mina, Professor Bellis, and I are planning to make them together! |
| Serena | That sounds great! Would you mind if we tagged along? |
| Lillie | I don't mind! And I bet Professor Bellis will be happy to see you, too! |
| Lillie | Professor Bellis! I found a few reliable friends to help us make sweets! |
| Professor Bellis | Subarashii! How wonderful! Welcome, welcome! |
| Serena | Sorry for showing up without notice. Would it be OK for us to make sweets with you? |
| Professor Bellis | Mais bien sûr! But of course! Palentine's Day is a day to enjoy together with friends! I have everything you would ever need to make sweets here. Have at it! |
| Dawn | Thank you! In that case, let's get right to it! |
| Serena | This oven has such fine controls! It's so easy to use! |
| Dawn | And this mixer can be set to the exact mixing strength you want! |
| Lillie | Professor Bellis told me that she actually specially made all of these tools herself! |
| Serena | With all these tools, we'll be able to make way better sweets than we'd planned on! |
| Ace Trainer (1) | What could have made it explode?! |
| Professor Bellis | Are you two OK? You aren't hurt, are you? |
| Ace Trainer (1) | We're fine, but our sweets... |
| Cheryl | I'm not sure what could have caused an explosion, but why not try reducing the amount of ingredients you use? |
| Serena | Hmm... Maybe check the heat you're using, too? Oh, Whimsicott! Would you bring us some new ingredients, please? |
| Dawn | Would you like to try mixing with me? Alcremie, get ready with the frosting for when they're done baking! |
| Professor Bellis | Don't worry about breaking any of my tools. I can always fix them! Just think of this as an eksperimenteer! |
| Lillie | We'll help, too! |
| Ace Trainer (1) | Why can't I ever get it right? No matter how many times I try, I always fail! I've tried everything! I give up! |
| Dawn | We have to go after her!: Yes, we do! I want to make sure she makes it to the end of this baking adventure with us! There are still things she can try!: You're right! We still have time. I'm sure she'll figure it out! |
| Professor Bellis | I'll clean up here. You all run along and find your friend! |
| Serena | What? These sweets... |
| Ace Trainer (2) | Hey, would you mind if I join you to look for that girl who just ran off? |
- Thank-Yous All Around
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Dawn | Look! Over there! |
| Serena | I'm glad we found you. We got worried when you just suddenly ran off. Let's all go back to Professor Bellis's lab together, OK? |
| Ace Trainer (1) | I don't want to go back. I don't think I'll ever get it right... |
| Cheryl | But you were trying so hard. Do you really want to give up? |
| Ace Trainer (1) | I can't keep on trying! I don't want to fail again! |
| Dawn | It's OK to make mistakes! The important thing on Palentine's Day is the heart that you put into your gift! You worked so hard to collect ingredients and were doing your best at making the sweets. You've already put a lot of heart into it! |
| Mina | I agree with Dawn. You looked like you were having fun when we were cooking, no matter how many times you messed up. You had such a great smile that I forgot what I was doing and started sketching you instead of cooking! |
| Ace trainer (1) | Well, you're right. I was having fun cooking... I even imagined the looks of happiness on the faces of the people receiving the sweets. But just because it's fun doesn't mean I can do it well, and there's no point if I can't do it well! |
| Serena | I believe in you! These sweets of yours show just how much heart you have! |
| Lillie | Two? You were trying to make two different sweets? Were you maybe trying to make enough for your partner Pokémon as well? |
| Cheryl | Well, I think that explains why the ingredients didn't work together! In that case, why don't we increase the amounts of the ingredients you're using and tweak the recipe a bit as well? |
| Dawn | Just increasing the ingredient amounts may not be enough. We might need to cook them differently, too... |
| Lillie | Oh! I have an idea! In Alola, we sometimes just share a single big malasada with our Pokémon! |
| Serena | That's a great idea! Instead of making two smaller ones, we can just make a single big one! That might be just the idea to make this work! |
| Ace Trainer (1) | But...but what if I fail again? |
| Ace Trainer (2) | You can do it! I believe in you! |
| Ace Trainer (2) | You've worked hard and overcome all sorts of obstacles in the past! |
| Ace Trainer (1) | What? Why are you here? |
| Ace Trainer (2) | It looked like something was bothering you, so I got worried and decided to sort of keep an eye on you... I'm sorry for following you around without telling you, but I just can't bear to see you like this! You actually regret running away like that, don't you. Are you sure you want to give up now? |
| Ace Trainer (1) | ... ... ... |
| Ace Trainer (1) | I don't think I understand... |
| Dawn | I think they want to say that they were having fun making sweets with you! |
| Serena | I was having fun, too. I sure would like to make sweets with you again! |
| Ace Trainer (1) | Thank you... OK! I'll try it one more time! |
| Ace Trainer (1) | We did it! |
| Dawn | Wow! That looks really good! |
| Serena | It's cooked just right, and you've decorated it perfectly as well! |
| Ace Trainer (2) | That's amazing! You can add this to the list of obstacles you've overcome! |
| Ace Trainer (1) | Thank you. It's all thanks to all of you. Um...so...anyway... Here! This is for you! |
| Ace Trainer (2) | What?! For me?! |
| Ace Trainer (1) | I wanted to thank you for always being there to cheer me on. Thank you! I'm thankful for you, too! Thank you for always being by my side! And thank you for being here today to cheer me on! Here, let's split this! |
| Dawn | I'm glad everything worked out in the end! |
| Serena | Me too! All right, now it's our turn to do our best! Let's show everyone just how thankful we are for them! |
- Serena's Gift
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Serena | I'm so glad you came! Hehe. This is kind of embarrassing, but... Well, you see... the reason I called you out here today is because I had something I just had to give you! Here it is! Palentine's Day sweets from me to you! I made another one later after we all made our sweets together. It's tasty. I guarantee it! Actually, it may be the tastiest thing I made today! I worked really hard on it. I hope you'll accept it. Of course!: Hehe. Thanks! Thank you!: No, thank YOU! It's thanks to you that I'm able to have so much fun here on Pasio. If you don't mind, let's continue on our adventure together! I'm relying on you more than you know... so I hope we can keep having fun together, <player>! |
- Dawn's Gift
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Dawn | I was waiting for you, <player>! Sorry for calling you out here at a time like this! To tell you the truth, there's something that I want to give you. Here it is... It's a Palentine's Day sweet! I made it by myself, and I think I burnt it a little. But don't worry—I'm sure it still tastes good! I put all of my thanks into it... Please accept it! Of course!: Hehe! Thanks! Thank you!: Hehe! You're welcome! I'm always thankful for all you do for me, but I thought this would be a good chance to show that! You're always helping me out, but you know... I'd really like to be able to help you out, too! So feel free to rely on me when you're in need! Promise me that you will! OK, <player>? |
Story Event - Champion Time
- Pokémon Center
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Leon | The artificial island of Pasio...looks like a lot of fun! |
| Leon | It's one of the duties of the Champion to get the crowd fired up! That doesn't change, even here on Pasio! We're going to have a champion time! |
- The Unbeatable Leon Arrives
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Gloria | Leon! Marnie! Piers! Over here! |
| Leon | Hey, Gloria! I can feel the excitement in the air! This place sure reminds me of Galar! |
| Gloria | Yeah! Everyone's pumped up because you all came! |
| Leon | Hello hello, Pasio! Your Galar Champion, Leon, is here! I promise I'll keep doing my best to deliver the greatest battles for you all to watch! |
| Beauty | Leon! You're amazing! |
| Street Thug | I'm looking forward to seeing your teamwork with Charizard! |
| Leon | Thanks for the support! Let's all have a champion time! |
| Piers | Looks like your reputation as the unbeatable Leon precedes you here on Pasio as well. |
| Marnie | Hey, Gloria an' I are gonna have some battles, too, y'know! |
| Gloria | Yeah, Marnie! We'll just have to show them what we're made of when we have our matches! <player>, you have to come and cheer us on! |
| Leon | We'll see you at the arena! |
- Exhibition Match Kick-off
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Lear | We will now commence exhibition matches celebrating the arrival of Leon, Champion of the Galar region! This event will feature three exhibition matches! The first match: Gloria and Alder! The second match: Marnie and Karen! And to top it all off, we'll have a showdown between Blue and Leon! These elite Galar Trainers are the best of of the best. Feast your eyes on these matches! |
| Scientist | Leon's going up against Blue?! Now that's a match I can't wait to see! |
| Ace Trainer | I can't believe I'll be able to see Leon, the unbeatable Champion, battle here on Pasio! |
| Gloria | Wow. Feel that energy? It reminds me of the stadiums back home in Galar! |
| Leon | Yeah! Let's give this pumped-up crowd some matches to remember! |
| Marnie | Yeah. We can't let them down. |
| Leon | I'm cheering for you!: OK! Let's show them some unforgettable battles! I can't wait to see the match between Champions!: I promise, these matches are really gonna get the crowd going! |
| Piers | What's wrong? |
| Marnie | That's Karen, right? |
| Piers | Yeah. She's a member of the Johto Elite Four...an' she uses Dark-type Pokémon, just like you. She's strong—that goes without saying. But there's a lot you could learn from her, too. |
| Marnie | Karen, of the Johto Elite Four... I'm not gonna lose to her! |
| Gloria | I'm so excited to battle the former Champion of Unova! |
| Alder | Yes, I see how strong you stand. And looking at your partner Pokémon... You're the best opponent we could ask for! Here we go! |
| Gloria | You're really strong, Alder! But we're not done yet! |
| Alder | Am I being overpowered?! This is nothing! I will overpower you! Volcarona, it all comes down to this! |
| Gloria | Zacian! Let's show them our true power! Go! |
| Alder | Well done! You certainly are an unmatched talent! |
| Gloria | Alder, you were so strong! I thought I might lose! |
| Alder | Not at all! You may have bested us this time... but don't think I'll let that happen again! I look forward to our next match! |
| Piers | You're up, Marnie. You ready? |
| Marnie | Yeah! Gloria won... So I can't lose now! |
- Believe to Achieve!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Karen | Hmmm? So you're a Dark-type Pokémon user, too, are you? I also see you've partnered up with your favorites. I like that in a Trainer. |
| Marnie | I won't lose, no matter who my opponent is! Leon's not the only name that'll be remembered on Pasio. We'll have everyone cheering just as loud for Spikemuth an' Marnie! |
| Karen | Is that so? I wish you the best. Just try to entertain me! Let's go! |
| Marnie | Morpeko! We're in to win this! |
| Karen | I've more or less figured you out. |
| Marnie | Morpeko, hang in there! Time to use that special attack we've been savin'! Morpeko?! No... At this rate, we're gonna lose...even though Gloria won her battle. |
| Piers | Marnie! Believe in yourself and your partner! |
| Gloria | You can do it, Marnie! |
| Leon | Listen, Marnie! You've trained hard in Spikemuth and battled toe-to-toe with your rival during the Gym Challenge! I know what you're made of! You can do more! |
| Marnie | The Gym Challenge... My rival... (That's right. I challenged Gloria so many times. Ever since the first time we battled, I still haven't beaten her yet, though I've got close.) (But each battle taught me something new, and that's how we made each other stronger!) |
| Gloria | You can do it, Marnie! Hurray! Hurray! Marnie! |
| Marnie | Heh heh. That's kind of embarrassing. Right! We've got this! We're stronger now! Nothing left to do but to put everything I've got out there! Morpeko! Time for our sync move! |
| Karen | Oh? So you do still have some fight in you. Let's keep this going, then! |
| Marnie | I'll do better than anything you throw at me! |
| Marnie | We lost... |
| Karen | You've got a lot of spunk—I like to see that in a Trainer. |
| Marnie | Sorry... I couldn't win... |
| Piers | What're you talking about? You just showed us one heck of a battle. |
| Gloria | Yeah! Your battle was amazing! You've got so much stronger, Marnie! |
| Leon | You really pumped up the crowd, too! What a great match! |
| Marnie | Thanks. To tell you the truth, I also had a lot of fun during that match. And now I know what I need to work on! Since I'm aiming to be a Champion, I'm gonna get even stronger! |
| Leon | Great! I love that determined look on your face! I'm looking forward to seeing you grow as a Trainer! And I guess that means it's my turn now! I'm gonna rock this crowd! |
| Blue | I guess these Galar Trainers aren't too shabby! After seeing battles like that, I'm starting to think this might end up being pretty fun after all! |
| Leon | I can't lose, either! As the Champion of Galar, I have the duty of getting the crowd fired up! It's the start of an epic battle! Let's enjoy our champion time! |
- A Champion Time for All
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Blue | Go, Blastoise! Show 'em what we've got! |
| Leon | Looks like you won't be making this easy for me... But we're still just getting warmed up! With our sync move, we're sure to be the victors! Charizard! Let's show them the true strength of our bond! |
| Leon | That was an excellent match! Everyone's going wild over it! |
| Blue | Man, I can't believe I lost! But at least it was fun! I'm always battling Red, so I thought I knew everything there is to know about battling a Charizard. But it makes sense that even with the same Pokémon, different Trainers would come at you with different tactics. I wanna battle you again... And not just once! |
| Leon | Red... So you two are friends! |
| Blue | Well...we're more like rivals, really! I keep upping my game and getting stronger because I wanna beat Red! It's only a matter of time until I take him down. |
| Leon | Rivals, huh? That's true—Trainers don't just get stronger on their own. You and I have both got rivals who make us stronger! |
| Blue | Oh, really? That rival of yours must be pretty good, given how strong you are! |
| Leon | Yeah, he's a Gym Leader in Galar... It's all thanks to him that I became known as the unbeatable Leon! |
| Lear | Well done! I expected no less from the best of Galar! |
| Ace Trainer | I knew it! Leon's amazing! |
| Preschooler | I wanna do the Chawrizard pose! |
| Marnie | That match between the Champions was amazing... I've gotta work even harder! I'm aiming for the top here on Pasio, too! And I'm gonna let everyone know just how cool Spikemuth is! |
| Youngster | Miss? You were really cool out there! One day, I'm gonna be a Trainer just like you! |
| Leon | Hear the passion in the voices of all the people cheering for you? You can feel good about how you did today! |
| Marnie | Yeah! Thanks. Champions really are the coolest. |
| Leon | Thank you! You know, my dream is to get stronger together with everybody! So let's keep on raising the bar! |
- Lost Champion
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Leon | <player>! Great to see you! I'm a bit lost again, to tell you the truth. Could you point me to the Pokémon Center? Head south!/It's that way!: All right! This looks like a great shortcut! |
| Leon | Now I've gone and got separated from my Charizard... Would you help me find him, <player>? That'd be a big help! |
| Leon | I can't believe my own Charizard would get lost... |
| Black Belt | There were two balls of fire floating in the air! I bet it was a pair of ghosts...of a parent and its child! |
| Ace Trainer | People and Pokémon both meet as a result of losing their way... |
| Youngster | Champion Leon?! Wow, you're the real thing! B-but there's no time to think about that right now! My Charmander went missing! |
| Leon | I also need to find my Charizard. Why don't we search for them together? |
| Leon | Charizard! So you found that lost Charmander and brought it back safely! |
| Youngster | You're amazing, Leon! You're the reason why I teamed up with my Charmander as a sync pair! We're gonna get a lot stronger! So the next time we meet, please...could you maybe... |
| Leon | Sure! Let's have a Pokémon battle then! Charizard and I will be waiting for your challenge! |
- Shout and Cheer

| Marnie | C'mon, <player>. We're gonna take care of these— |
| ??? | Stop right there, Team Break! |
| Camper | We're gonna protect the peace on Pasio! |
| Marnie | Wow, how brave! Let's leave the battling to them. We can always jump in if things start lookin' dangerous. That frees us up to support them with some cheering! Let's make some noise! |
| Marnie | We've gotta cheer those kids on! <player>, feel that flow! |
| Marnie | Yeah! You feelin' it? Yeah!/You got this! |
| Marnie | I know you can keep the beat going! Nice!/Now's your chance! |
| Marnie | You got everyone's cheers backing you! Go go go!/Hang in there! |
| Camper | Thanks for cheering me on! I really felt all that energy you were sending! |
| Marnie | My cheers will really get you going! You did great, too, <player>. Sometimes it's nice to take a break from battling to team up and cheer for other people. |
- Jam Session
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Piers | Oh? What a coincidence. Three singers, all in one place. |
| Roxie | Yeah, it surprised me, too! I thought I saw some rockin' outfits, and when I got closer, it was you two! |
| Ryuki | I was guided here because I felt some passionate souls in the area! Guess we stars tend to gravitate toward each other! |
| Piers | I've heard both of your music, an' I must say— Huh? |
| Ace Trainer | Look, it's Piers, Roxie, and Ryuki! Could it be...they're going to play some songs? |
| Street Thug | Let's get a closer look! |
| Piers | I wasn't planning on singing, but looks like people are raring to go... |
| Roxie | I'm down for a jam session! Let's give 'em what they want! |
| Ryuki | Yeah! Sometimes you just gotta roll with it, you know? Take a look at that, Piers. Your partner's ready to go, too. We're set to rock this joint! |
| Piers | *sigh* You too, Obstagoon? I s'ppose coincidences like this don't happen every day. All right, then. Let's give everyone a song to commemorate the occasion! After all...the only thing humble singers like us can do is continue singing our humble songs. |
- Champion Taste
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Lance | Leon, I think that capes should be more simple! |
| Leon | Really? I like what's going on with mine, though. |
| Lance | When you're the Champion and greet new challengers with a swoosh of your cape... I understand that the details of your cape speak volumes about who you are. But for me, the simplicity of my cape helps me stand out more! |
| Leon | I see! I never thought of it that way. I view my cape as a reminder of all the people who are cheering for me. |
| Steven | Lance, I do get what you say. Sometimes, simple is best. But other times, being in the center of a busy piece makes the main subject stand out even more! That's why I think that cape is great on Leon! |
| Leon | Thanks, Steven! |
| Lance | Now that you mention it, I do see that! It's almost as if it embodies the weight of all of Galar resting on his shoulders! It's unique! But also...I didn't realize you knew so much about capes, Steven. |
| Steven | Well, I was just thinking about my philosophy on rocks. But I think preference and personal style apply to capes, too. |
| Leon | I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean, but...I think I kind of get it! You two both have your own kind of champion time! |
- How to Smile
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Gladion | So the problem is that you want to smile better to thank everyone cheering for you but aren't sure how? |
| Marnie | Yeah. You have that Battle Royal thing in Alola, right? I hear there are a lot of people who come to watch those battles, so I was wondering if you had any tips on how to smile right. |
| Gladion | Well...I'm not sure if I'm the right person to help you with something like that. Hau, what about you? You'd be able to give her a few tips, right? |
| Hau | Huh? I don't think there's really any trick to it. Oh, but now that you mention it...I can't help but smile when I start to think about going on the island challenge together with everyone! |
| Marnie | The island challenge? |
| Hau | Yeah! We go from island to island in the Alola region to take on a bunch of trials! |
| Marnie | Hmm... I guess it must be kind of like a Gym Challenge. |
| Hau | I remember when we first met, Gladion always had a really scary look on his face! |
| Gladion | Hmph. No idea what you're talking about. |
| Hau | It was a lot of work—but loads of fun! |
| Marnie | A lot of hard work, huh... |
| Hau | Ah! You just smiled! What were you thinking of just now? |
| Marnie | Um...it's kind of a secret. |
| Hau | Aw, really? |
| Marnie | But thanks! I think I've got the hang of it now. |
- Adventures with Eevee
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Leaf | That's amazing! So the Wild Area is just a huge expanse of land! |
| Gloria | Yeah! If you look at a map of Galar, it's slap-bang in the middle and spreads out really far from north to south! The weather there changes frequently, so I'd often camp out there with my Pokémon to take breaks while out exploring! |
| May | That sounds like so much fun! I wonder what kind of Pokémon live there! I definitely wanna go there someday! |
| Gloria | You know, all that talk about camping and then seeing Eevee here just reminded me of something! During the Gym Challenge, I once camped out with another adventurer who had Eevee and all of its Evolutions! |
| Leaf | Really?! Eevee?! |
| Gloria | We played with all the Pokémon, and they were all so fluffy and cute! |
| Leaf | Oh, that must have been so nice! |
| May | They were fluffy? Awww! |
| Gloria | There are Poké Kids in Galar who dress up like Eevee... And now whenever I see them, I think I understand why they just wanna become Eevee! |

| Rosa | Oh, so it was you who originally caught that Morpeko for Marnie? |
| Piers | Yeah. As her brother, I'm so glad it looks like it's shaped up to be a good partner. |
| Rosa | ... ... ... |
| Marnie | What's wrong? You look a bit sad. |
| Rosa | Sorry. I was just thinking about something that happened to a neighbor of mine. His younger sister had a Pokémon that she really loved, and it was given to her by their grandpa. But then, this group that called itself Team Plasma came and stole it. |
| Marnie | That's awful. |
| Rosa | So her brother went out and did his best to get that Pokémon back for her. But by the time they found it again, it had forgotten all about her. But she was still really happy to see her Pokémon again. |
| Marnie | That must've been hard... But y'know what? I bet it'll all be OK in the end! It's her one and only partner we're talking about! I'm sure they'll be back to being best friends in no time. |
| Rosa | Yeah, I'm sure they will! |
| Marnie | What's wrong, Big Bro? |
| Piers | I was thinking that if anything ever happened that separated you and Morpeko... |
| Marnie | Oh come on—crying about it won't help anything. |
- Marnie's Cheering Squad
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Lisia | Thanks a bunch, everyone! Thank you for all of your support! |
| Gloria | Wow, you're so popular with the crowd! No wonder they call you Miraculous Lisia. |
| Lisia | Oh, hey there! Gloria, Marnie! You came here, too? |
| Marnie | All that cheering from your fans was amazing. It reminded me a lot of my hometown. |
| Lisia | Cheering made you think of home? Were you an idol, Marnie? |
| Marnie | No, it's not that. There's a group there called Team Yell that would help cheer for me. |
| Gloria | They used horns and banners to cheer her on! |
| Lisia | Horns and banners? Like, fan merchandise?! That's amazing! I wanna try cheering like that, too! I know! How about I cheer for you at your next match, Marnie? |
| Marnie | Sure! But you'd better be on top of your game! If you're not one hundred percent into it, your voice might not be heard! |
| Gloria | Let's practice it all together! Marnie, could you teach us how to cheer? |
| Marnie | Yeah. I'll teach you some of the cheers Team Yell are so proud of! |
- Taught by the Best
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Leon | You two really are strong! I bet it's because of the experience you've built up battling so many Trainers! |
| Ramos | Heheheh. Flattery will only make me blush, sonny! You did a fine job, too! It's not often a Trainer becomes that strong at your age! You were like a magnificent tree with its roots firmly planted into the ground. It was an excellent battle. |
| Pryce | Yes, you showed us a marvelous battle. It takes more than just your average hard work to get that strong. Could it be you had a very strong teacher guiding you? |
| Leon | Oh, absolutely! My teacher had a strong passion that rivals yours! |
| Ramos | Is that so? If that's the case, I'd love to battle them someday. |
| Leon | I'm sure he'd love to battle you, too! What a sight it would be to see you battling my teacher! I'd love that! And if possible, I'd also like in on the fun! |
| Pryce | Sure! When the time comes, I will greet you with a power even more refined than today's! |
| Leon | I look forward to that! |

| Iris | Gotta dress to impress! |
| Iris | I can't wait to chat with everyone! I'm gonna make sure this the funnest festival ever! And I'll be the brightest Champion in the bunch! Just you wait—the crowds will be so hyped up, they won't know what to do with themselves! |
- Festival of Champions
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Iris | Oh, there you are! You've gotta hear about the super-amazing event happening right now, <player>! |
| Brycen | Indeed! As you know, Pasio is host to Champions from all over the world. To celebrate this monumental gathering, there's going to be an event called the Festival of Champions right here on the island! |
| Iris | I've already signed up to participate as the Champion of Unova! I can't wait to put on a show for all of the fans! You'll come and watch, won't you? I hope to see you there! |
- The Champions Assemble
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
At the event arena, many people were enjoying the chance to meet and greet the Champions. | |
| Brycen | Look at this crowd! I suppose we should have expected this, given all the star power gathered in one place! Now, where is our Unova Champion? |
| ??? | Heeey! Over here! |
| Brycen | That outfit! |
| Iris | Tee-hee! Check out these frills! Aren't they amazing? Hydreigon and I are gonna make this event so much fun for everyone here! |
| Brycen | Indeed! Hydreigon is looking very tough! And that outfit looks great on you, Iris. Remember, today you'll have to be on your best behavior, as you're representing all of Unova. |
| Camper | Look! The Champions have arrived! |
| Iris | All right! The fans are here! |
| Lass | Oh my gosh! It's Leon! |
| Camper | Miss Cynthia! Can I shake your hand? |
| Iris | Heeey... I'm a Champion, too, y'know! |
| Brycen | D-don't worry too much about that! |
| ??? | Iris! |
| Preschooler | You're the best, b'cause you're still a kid but you're Champion, too! |
| Youngster | Hydreigon's one of the most brutal Pokémon ever, right? It's so cool that you partnered up with one! |
| Iris | You think so? Thanks! Let's keep the talk coming! Feel free to ask me any questions! |
| ??? | Oh, that girl... Is that her? |
| Hilbert | Yeah, I can introduce you. Let's go! |
| Iris | Hey, Hilbert! And this is...? |
| Brycen | Whoa! It's Diantha! |
| Diantha | Nice to make your acquaintance, everyone from Unova! And you must be <player>? It's such a pleasure to meet you!: What a bright greeting! Nice to meet you!: Nice to meet you, too! |
| Hilbert | We were just talking, and you came up in our conversation, Iris! Diantha was saying that as a fellow Champion, she wanted to meet you in person! |
| Iris | Really? Wait, she's a Champion, too?! |
| Brycen | You didn't know? Diantha is the Champion of the Kalos region. And she's more than that. She's also a world-famous actress! I've learned a lot from her acting! |
| Diantha | *chuckle* What an honor to hear those words from Brycen-Man himself! |
| Brycen | My! I had no idea you were familiar with my work! |
| Diantha | Let's have a chat together sometime! Now, I suppose this is your partner, Hydreigon? |
| Iris | Ah! Hey! |
| Diantha | It's OK. It just shows how excited she is! I can see you've taken good care of her. |
| Iris | Th-thank you! |
| Hilbert | Hm? Iris, are you nervous or something? |
| Iris | It's just...Diantha is so pretty, calm,
and mature... |
| Diantha | *chuckle* Well, thank you! |
| Iris | Exhibition matches... Oh, that's right! I signed up for that! I should get going! |
| Hilbert | Iris is still Iris, even when she's the Champion, huh? |
| Diantha | So that child is the young rising Champion of Unova... |
| Iris | Diantha is amazing... I wanna be that elegant and cool when I grow up, too. |
| ??? | Man, I'm kinda bummed out about this exhibition match now. |
| Iris | Huh? |
| Street Thug | I mean, Lance is awesome. But Iris... |
| Collector | I could give her a break for not emanating poise and grandeur like the other Champions do, but the gap in experience is too huge. That difference between them is going to be painfully obvious on the battlefield. |
| Hiker | High-stakes matches like this tend to happen a lot on Pasio, huh. Heh. Bet it's gonna be pretty embarrassing to be a Trainer from Unova for a while after Iris's match. |
| Iris | Is he saying...I'd be an embarrassment to Unova? |
| Street Thug | Well, hopefully it'll be a good match in any case. |
| Iris | ... ... ... I've gotta win this. I'm the Champion of Unova... I've gotta make my people proud. |
| Lance | Wow. Listen to that crowd! Let's give them a good match. |
| Iris | Lance, I... I won't lose to you! |
| Lance | Hm? |
| Iris | Come on, Hydreigon! We're gonna— Huh? What's wrong? We haven't even started yet... Hydreigon? Wha—?! |
- What Makes a Champion
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Brycen | What's going on over there?! |
| Hilbert | Settle down, Hydreigon! |
| ??? | It appears the trial run was a success... I can't wait to see what happens tomorrow. |
| Iris | Cut it out, Hydreigon! What's gotten into you today? |
| Lance | What is going on?! |
| Iris | I—I don't know! I don't know! |
| Diantha | Go, Gardevoir! |
| Iris | Diantha! |
| Diantha | Sorry, Iris, but we need to stop Hydreigon right now before anything else happens. Lance, can you give me a hand? |
| Lance | It looks like I don't have a choice! |
| Iris | Hydreigon... Why... |
| Pokémon Ranger | Please be sure this doesn't happen again at tomorrow's matches. |
| Diantha | Fortunately, we were able to keep the damage to a minimum. |
| Hilbert | Still, I wonder why Hydreigon acted out like that... |
| Brycen | Iris, you understand dragons the best of us all. Maybe you can tell us why? |
| Iris | Um... |
| Brycen | Please, tell us why Hydreigon went on that rampage! |
| Iris | Well...uh... |
| ??? | So you're not sure. |
| Hilbert | Lance... |
| Lance | I noticed you weren't your usual self right before our match. It was almost as if you were so worked up, you couldn't tell what was happening with your partner. Iris, you must remember that you're no ordinary Pokémon Trainer. You are a role model to others, and you represent Unova as Champion. I hope you can understand that and conduct yourself accordingly. |
| Iris | ... ... ... |
| Hilbert | Iris... |
| Iris | Sorry, everyone. Just like Lance said, I have no idea what's going on with Hydreigon. I...I'm gonna think back on today and try to talk to her to figure out what's wrong...and I'll do my best tomorrow! Bye! |
| Hilbert | Is she gonna be OK? |
| Brycen | Hmmm... |
| Diantha | ... ... ... |
| Iris | Sorry, Haxorus. Thanks for coming all the way here with me. Hydreigon just won't come out of her Poké Ball. I bet she hates me now... Because I'm not good enough... |
| ??? | Oh, if it isn't Iris! |
| Iris | Diantha... |
| Diantha | Isn't it a little lonely to be at a place like this, just the two of you? |
| Iris | ... ... ... |
| Diantha | You don't have to bottle up your feelings, you know. |
| Iris | Huh? |
| Diantha | I don't know the hearts of dragons like you do... But I might know a little about the hearts of Champions. Or perhaps...the hearts of other girls? |
| Iris | ... ... ... I wanted to make sure people knew me...and accepted me... I just wanted to make everyone happy. I wanted them to know that I'm the proud Champion of Unova... But...but... *sob sob* |
| Diantha | I see... So you overheard some mean comments about you before your match. People sure can say the rudest things. Do you feel a little better now after talking it out? |
| Iris | I guess... You know, when Grandpa Drayden gave me my Champion outfit... I remember thinking I'd become a great Champion, just like Alder was! But I don't think I can do it anymore... I don't have the experience...and I'm just a kid... |
| Diantha | You know, the same thing happens to me with my acting. |
| Iris | Huh? |
| Diantha | When I compare myself to other actors, I end up fixating on how different we are, and it's just not a nice feeling. It affects how I feel about acting sometimes...and I imagine that's how you're feeling about yourself right now. |
| Iris | ... ... ... |
| Diantha | But...maybe you can try to look for what you have in common instead! There's something within you that other Champions also have! A special quality that every Champion shares. |
| Iris | A special quality? |
| Diantha | That's about all the advice I can give you tonight. The rest, you'll have to figure out for yourself! I know you'll get it. You are a Champion, too, after all! |
| Iris | An important quality for a Champion to have... |
| Lance | So it's come to this... |
| ??? | Who knew this would happen while I was taking my time traveling around Pasio! |
| Lance | Oh, it's you! |
| ??? | Hmmm... |
- Hydreigon's Heart
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
But one Trainer didn't seem quite as eager as the others... | |
| Preschooler | Tch! What's so great about those other Champions anyway? |
| Youngster | Hydreigon, come play with us! Ugh... Whatever. |
| Brycen | You must find a way to shake this off, Iris. You have a match to win later today. |
| Iris | I know... |
| Brycen | Sorry, little ones. Iris isn't feeling very well right now. Oh, I know! Why don't we play pretend? I'll be Brycen-Man, and you can all be my minions! |
| Diantha | You're worried about her, aren't you. |
| Lance | Ah, it's you three. |
| Hilbert | Lance, yesterday may have been a big mess, but Iris is still an amazing Champion. You'll see! Don't lose hope in her just yet, OK? |
| Lance | Oh? What makes you think I'm losing hope? |
| Hilbert | You're...not? |
| Diantha | I'd say he thinks quite highly of Iris, actually. So much so that he even went to check on her last night to see if she was OK. |
| Lance | You saw that?! What are you talking about?: Don't worry about it. Wait, was Iris OK?: You should probably ask Diantha that question... |
| Diantha | Sorry I stole your thunder. |
| Lance | It's fine. The job was probably better left in your hands anyway. In any case, it seems I'm not alone in my concern for Iris. You obviously wanted to help her, too. |
| Diantha | It's true... I want to be there to witness it—the moment when Iris discovers who she truly is for the first time. |
| Street Thug | Gah! What's the matter, buddy?! |
| Collector | Calm down right this instant! |
| Brycen | Wh-what's going on now?! On second thought, let's worry about that later. Come on, Cryogonal! We have to stop this! |
| Iris | This looks like what happened yesterday... |
| ??? | A resounding success! |
| Iris | Team Break?! Don't tell me you're the ones behind this... |
| Masked Man | Why, of course we are! All thanks to this ingenious machine of mine! It emits a specialized signal that incites the thrill of battle in its targets! Pokémon with wild, aggressive natures are simply unable to resist it! |
| Iris | That's horrible! |
| Masked Man | Oho! It would be unwise to pick a fight with me right now, little girl. |
| Iris | Hydreigon... |
| Lance | This is bad. We need to stop them immediately! Dragonite, Hyper Be— |
| Preschooler | Nooo! Don't hurt my Pokémon! |
| Lance | Hold them down then! We can't let them put anyone else in danger! |
| Diantha | This could take a while. |
| Hilbert | Iris! Send out your Haxorus to stop Hydreigon! |
| Iris | R-right. Good idea. Haxorus, I need you to— |
| ??? | Iris, look at your partner! Look into her eyes! |
| Iris | That sounded like... Hmm... Hydreigon, you... |
- The Rising Champion
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Masked Man | What are you doing, Hydreigon?! |
| Brycen | Hurry, Iris! Use Haxorus and calm Hydreigon down! |
| Iris | Hydreigon...I can feel your pain! You're fighting so hard against yourself. I bet you were fighting super hard yesterday, too...but you were frustrated because you couldn't control yourself... Now isn't the time to call out Haxorus. This is between you and me, Hydreigon. Listen—you can fight this! Don't let that stupid machine control you! |
| Masked Man | Give it up! There's nothing you can say that'll get through to your little dragon! |
| Iris | That's why I HAVE to say this! I know her heart! So I'm gonna use my words to get through to her! Hydreigon, I believe in you! We're the same! We both hate to lose, and we fought a lot in the past. But I know how strong you are! I know you can do this! Because I'm Iris, Champion of Unova, and you're my partner! |
| Masked Man | The NERVE of this brat! Shut her up! |
| Brycen | Oh, my! |
| Hilbert | Look at that! |
| Iris | I knew you could do it! Hydreigon! |
| Masked Man | What?! That Pokémon isn't responding to my machine anymore?! |
| Iris | Hydreigon would never let herself be controlled by your silly little toy! Uh-oh! Looks like she's raring to go now, thanks to that machine! Let's use that rage to protect everyone! Feel free to cut loose, Hydreigon! |
| Masked Man | Ack! My machine! Time to beat a hasty retreat... |
| Diantha | Stop right there. |
| Masked Man | Wait...the other Pokémon aren't affected by the machine, either? |
| Street Thug | Yeah! Thanks to Iris bustin' it up! |
| Lance | You underestimate the power of sync pairs. |
| Diantha | We're stronger than you think! Our bonds with our partners are too strong to be broken by some machine! |
| Iris | Now let's hear an apology for what you did! |
| Masked Man | I-I'm sorry! |
| Lance | Sounds like we're back on schedule with the exhibition matches. |
| Iris | Lance... Even though Team Break caused Hydreigon to lose control, it doesn't change the fact that I still wasn't paying her enough attention. I'm so sorry for what happened. And also... No matter what happens from now on, I'm gonna make sure my heart is bound to my Pokémon! I promise to always do that—as Champion! |
| Lance | You have a lot of resolve for someone so young. If a certain someone had met you when he was younger, you would've run circles around him! I see now why he said we should just be patient and watch over you. |
| Iris | Huh? |
| Lance | Oh, nothing. Let's continue to aim for higher goals! Together—as Champions! |
| Iris | OK! |
| Diantha | How marvelous it is to see someone grow right before your eyes... I think I understand now why Champions are the ones who guide younger Trainers! |
| Lance | Feels good, doesn't it? |
| Diantha | I always worked hard to improve myself as a Champion and actress, but I never really gave much thought to helping others improve... Now, I think that's something I should have done more. It feels like a whole new world has opened up to me! |
| Lance | It's never too late. You can start with whoever needs you most. |
| Diantha | I guess that's true! |
| Brycen | So Iris's next opponent is Diantha. |
| Hilbert | In terms of the matchup, Iris is at a disadvantage. |
| Lance | But you never know what might happen in a Pokémon battle... Especially for someone in the midst of tremendous growth. |
| Iris | Diantha! I think I figured out what that special quality is. The one you said all Champions share! I used to say it a lot, too... "Be considerate toward your Pokémon, and give them your whole heart!" That kind of kindness is something I know I have! |
| Diantha | How wonderful! Your light is shining even brighter than before! You've truly proven yourself, Iris. I feel like I can put my all into this battle! |
| Hiker | You can do it, Iris! |
| Collector | Thanks for saving everyone! |
| Street Thug | Show 'em how strong you are, Champion of Unova! |
| Iris | Everyone... |
| Alder | Onward and forward, new Champion! |
| Iris | Thanks so much for all your help, Diantha! But I'm just getting started! And I'm gonna aim to be even better than the best! I'm Iris, the Pokémon League Champion of Unova! And I'm going to defeat you! |

| May | My partner is Lopunny! We became good friends while I was conducting fieldwork with my dad in another region! |
| Burgh | And look at these outfits! May and I both got them to match our partners! They're the perfect outfits for the egg hunt we're hosting today! |
| May | The egg hunt is an event where participants will go searching for decorated eggs we've hidden all over Pasio! Burgh decorated the eggs himself, so they're all unique! |
| Burgh | We've been working hard and hope that everyone can enjoy the event! You should definitely participate! |
- A Scrambled Egg?!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| May | I knew you'd come, <player>! I'm looking forward to the egg hunt!: Right?! I'm looking forward to it, too! That's a cute outfit!: Really? Thanks! Lopunny is super excited as well! I guess that's natural. We worked hard together to get this event ready! All right! Let's head over to where Burgh is! |
| ??? | May! |
| Brendan | I see you matched your outfit with Lopunny! It looks great! Oh, before I forget, I'm on my way to meet up with Barry... I was wondering if you wanted to join us. We haven't battled each other in so long. |
| May | Sorry, I'd love to, but I'm in charge of running the egg hunt! I know! Why don't you participate, too? It's bound to be a lot of fun! |
| Brendan | An egg hunt? What's that all about? |
| May | You'll see when you get there! But I gotta get going now! |
| Brendan | Aw, man... And here I thought we might be able to have a battle! But I guess I can check out this egg hunt... |
| Burgh | Oh no, not good. Not good at all... |
| Sawyer | For now, I'll pass on instructions to my staff. I'll leave the rest to you. |
| Burgh | There you are! I've been waiting for you! |
| May | Oh? Who's that? |
| Preschooler | Waaah! Waaah! My Egg is gone! |
| Burgh | Oh dear... It's OK. You don't have to cry. |
| May | What happened? |
| Burgh | We've run into a little problem. Looks like there was a bit of a mishap... Somehow, a real Pokémon Egg got lost among the fake decorated eggs we've hidden for the egg hunt! |
| May | Wait, so a real Egg got mixed in with the fake ones? How in the world did that happen? |
| Burgh | The eggs we're using for the egg hunt already got distributed around Pasio. I think that's when the mix-up happened. Don't cry... I'll help you find your Egg! I promise! |
| Preschooler | *sniff* OK... Thank you... |
| May | It's too late to cancel the event, but at the same time, it would be dangerous if someone took a real Egg home... Hmmm... I might have an idea! |
| Burgh | Wonderful! That's perfect, May! I have just the thing for that! |
- Ready, Set, Hunt!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Burgh | Hello, everyone! Thank you for participating in our Egg-Hunting Eggstravaganza! We've hidden a bunch of eggs around Pasio. Try to find as many as you can! We've also prepared an eggstra-special surprise for you all to enjoy! |
| Sawyer | A surprise? |
| Burgh | Among the many eggs we've hidden, one is a real Pokémon Egg! The lucky person who finds that Egg... will receive one of my newest art creations! |
| Beauty | A new Burgh original?! |
| Collector | I want it! I want it so bad! |
| Wally | A Pokémon Egg? |
| Sawyer | You didn't tell us anything about this! |
| Burgh | It'll be just fine! This won't cause problems for anyone. |
| May | And this way, we'll find that Egg in no time! |
| Burgh | Everyone, on your marks... Get set... Go! |
| May | I'm glad everyone's so into it! |
| Brendan | May! |
| May | Brendan! You made it! |
| Brendan | I'm the one who's gonna find that Egg! |
| May | Not if I find it first! I'm gonna use all my fieldwork experience to track it down! |
| Brendan | So it's a showdown, then! Oh, I wanted to ask you. After the egg hunt— |
| Burgh | <player>! May! Let's get going, you two! |
| May | Oh, looks like he's done with the intro. We gotta go! Good luck, Brendan! |
| Brendan | H-hey, May... |
| Barry | You sure it's OK to let her go without getting a promise to battle? |
| Brendan | Well...she's busy, so it'll have to wait. |
| Barry | I guess so, but at this rate... |
| Brendan | Hm? Is something wrong, Barry? |
| Barry | Well...I saw May when she was preparing for this event, doing her surveys of the grassy areas and all that... And she was smiling a lot more than when I've seen her battling... Maybe she's gonna stop being a Trainer and give up battling for good to focus on fieldwork! |
| Brendan | What? May would never quit being a Trainer and stop battling... |
| Barry | I mean, I dunno. But her dad is a Pokémon Professor, y'know? I'm just saying, it could happen! Maybe! |
| Brendan | I guess you're right... (No, you wouldn't do that...would you, May?) |
- A Toge-pickle
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Burgh | Well then, let's get started! |
| May | Huh? Where'd Togepi go? |
| Burgh | Where in the world did he go?! Looks like we'll just have to search for him, too! |
| Burgh | Togepi! Where are you? |
| Roxanne | Please don't say that! Let me have it! |
| Steven | Well...sorry, but I'd like this one for myself... |
| Roxanne | Please reconsider! |
| May | Hm? Are they fighting over an egg? |
| Grant | No, that's not it. They found a really cool rock, and now they're arguing about who gets to keep it! |
| May | If only they'd get that passionate about finding eggs... |
| Grant | Why don't we leave it here so everyone can come and admire it? That way, no hard feelings. |
| Street Thug | I just found somethin' really outta this world! It was an egg with hands and feet! It was walking around over there. Never seen anything like it before. So weird! |
| May | That must've been Togepi! Thanks! |
| Street Thug | Togepi? That some new kinda egg or somethin'? |
| May | Man, searching for that missing Egg and Togepi at the same time sure is exhausting! |
| Punk Girl | I just can't find any eggs! That kid I saw earlier was doing a real good job, though. What's up with that? It's not even fair! Why are my chances so rotten?! Wait, I said “chances!” Not you, Chansey! |
| Gardenia | This boulder is in the way, so I can't get to that egg... |
| Burgh | This calls for help from a friend! |
| Brock | If you need a rock smashed, leave it to me! |
| ??? | Wait! |
| Korrina | Let us handle that! |
| Bruno | Hoo! Hah! |
| Gardenia | Thank you, Korrina and Bruno! |
| Brock | I lost my chance to shine... |
| Korrina | All right! Let's go and smash through that rock over there! |
| Bruno | Hoo! Hah! |
| Brock | Oh no! I'm falling behind! |
| Burgh | What's wrong, everyone? |
| Clay | Y'see, we found ourselves an egg here lookin' all nice for the takin'... |
| Wulfric | But that kid—y'know, the Hoenn boy—he just swooped in all of a sudden! |
| Marshal | We were so close to grabbing that egg, but he came in like a flash and snatched it up! His focus on finding eggs was almost obsessive! |
| May | A boy from Hoenn? I wonder who that was. |
| Marshal | We left ourselves too open... He really got the better of us... |
| Burgh | Oh, what a cute Venonat! |
| Youngster | Right? My other partner is super cute, too! |
| May | Your other partner? |
| Burgh | Whoa! Togepi! So you've been with this boy all this time! |
| Youngster | Aw, shucks. So this Togepi is yours? When I teamed up with him, I got really lucky and found a bunch of eggs! Thanks for the help, Togepi! Let's hang out again sometime! |
| May | I guess it's true that Togepi is able to grant happiness to those around him. |
| Burgh | Yes, he shared a lot of his happiness with that boy...the same way he shares it with me. |
| May | What do you mean by that? |
| Burgh | He's opened up the doors to a lot of happiness for me, too! For instance, the joy of meeting you! Right, Togepi? Great! Now that we've found Togepi, we can focus on finding that lost Pokémon Egg! |
| May | All that searching, and we never did find that Pokémon Egg, huh? |
| Burgh | *sigh* Well, the only thing we can do is hope that someone else found it. Let's head back to the arena. |
| May | Yeah. I just really hope someone found it... |
| Brendan | May... |
| Barry | Come on, Brendan! If you're that worried about it, just work up the courage and ask her! |
| Brendan | I just can't seem to get the right opportunity... |
| ??? | Brendan! Barry! |
| Barry | Hey, Wally! Did you find a lot of eggs? |
| Wally | Yes, I did! Oh, and take a look at this! |
| Barry | Wait! Could this be that Egg we've been looking for?! |
| Wally | Yes, I think it is! |
| Brendan | Hey...Wally? Could I ask you a favor? |
| Wally | Huh? |
- A Sunny-Side Future
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Burgh | So nobody found that Egg yet... |
| Sawyer | I hate to admit it, but our chances of finding it aren't looking too good... |
| Preschooler | Waaaaaah! |
| Sawyer | Er... Actually, we've still got plenty of time! I'll go take a look around myself! |
| May | Where in the world could that Egg be? |
| Brendan | May! |
| May | Brendan... Oh! That's— |
| Wally | This is the Egg you were looking for, right? |
| May | You three are amazing! |
| Burgh | What a big help! Thank you so much! As promised, I'll present you with a brand-new piece of art designed by yours truly! |
| Brendan | Burgh, I appreciate the gesture...but could I ask you for something else instead? |
| Burgh | Huh? |
| Brendan | Would you... have a battle with us?! |
| May | Huh? A battle? |
| Brendan | Yes, please! |
| Burgh | I can tell that you're asking for this because something else is bugging you... Very well, then! Let's do it! |
| May | I'd be happy to join, too. How about you, <player>? |
| Barry | Of course!/I wanna battle!: OK, then it's decided! |
| Brendan | May, please remember... Remember how fun it is to battle! |
| May | Go, Lopunny! |
| May | Yay! We won! |
| Brendan | Argh, we lost! But I had so much fun! Did you have fun, too, May? |
| May | Of course! It's always fun to battle you, Brendan! |
| Brendan | I'm so glad! So...does that mean you're not gonna stop being a Trainer or give up battling for good? |
| May | Give up battling?! Stop being a Trainer?! What are you talking about?! |
| Brendan | Huh? But Barry said... |
| Burgh | I see. So that's what was bugging you. |
| Barry | Whaaat?! You mean that was just me totally misreading the situation?! |
| May | Yeah! Don't just make things up like that! |
| Brendan | So, you really weren't planning to stop being a Trainer after all? |
| May | Of course not! I mean...I do think I might want to be a Pokémon Professor one day, just like my dad! But that's way far into the future! And if I ever have to make that decision, you'll be the first person I talk to, Brendan! So don't worry! |
| Brendan | May... Yeah, it's a promise! |
| Preschooler | Ah! Look, look! My Egg! |
| Wally | Whoa, it's an Eevee! |
| May | It's so cute! |
| Burgh | It reminds me of all of you. In the same way this baby Eevee has limitless potential, who knows what the future has in store for you all. You might continue down your paths as Trainers... or become Pokémon Professors... or even become artists like me! But right now, it's fine for Eevee to just be Eevee. In the same way, you kids should keep having fun with your friends, growing as individuals, and preparing for your futures... no matter where life takes you! |
| May | Yeah! |
Story Event - Trials on the Isle
- Pokémon Center

|---|---|
| Selene | This might be even larger than Melemele Island! |
| Elio | Did you know that Pasio is actually an artificial island made by people? |
| Selene | Wait, so it's just like Aether Paradise? |
| Elio | Well...it might be a little different, but isn't it amazing people were able to make something this huge? We might get lost here if we don't have anyone to show us around... |
- Let the Trials Begin!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Mallow | Oh, <player>! Let me introduce some of my friends to you! This is Lana and Kiawe! |
| Lana | Hello. I'm Lana. |
| Kiawe | I am Kiawe. |
| Mallow | And over here we have Elio and Selene! |
| Selene | Alola! Nice to meet you! |
| Elio | Alola! I just heard a lot about you! |
| Selene | Everyone was just saying that you'd do really well in the trials they're setting up on Pasio, <player>. |
| Mallow | Oh, you probably don't know what these trials are... They're part of a tradition in Alola called the island challenge! Basically, all children go through it and complete a bunch of trials! And we, the Trial Captains, are the ones who decide what kinds of trials they are! |
| Kiawe | I guess it's similar to gathering badges in other regions. |
| Lana | Yes. However, it's not just your skills in battle that get tested. |
| Mallow | It's gonna be a new, updated version of the trials we had on Akala Island. We're calling them the Pasio trials! <player>, wanna give it a try? |
- A Big Catch
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Selene | I'm so glad that you're here with us, <player>. |
| Elio | Yeah, especially because we've just arrived on Pasio. If we tried to find everything all by ourselves, I bet we'd have gotten lost before the trials even began! |
| Lana | Hello there, everyone. You've arrived ahead of schedule. So...will you be attempting my Pasio trial? |
| Selene | Yeah!: Yes! Of course! |
| Elio | I don't know. Should I?: Are you trying to bait Lana into going easy on you? |
| Lana | *chuckle* Good luck tackling my trial! I'll explain it to you. You just need to fish up something big and defeat it! |
| Elio | I knew it! Of course Lana would choose something related to fishing for her trial! But wait! I thought people said there aren't any wild Pokémon on Pasio... |
| Selene | Wait! Did you hear that? Maybe there's wild Pokémon in the ocean! |
| Elio | Hmmm... |
| Selene | There, I heard it again! Why don't we just give it a try? |
| Elio | Sure, why not! Time to catch something big! |
| Selene | Oh! It's a bite! |
| Elio | *grunt* It's a big one! |
| Marlon | 'Sup! Good job reeling us in! We were waitin' for you in the ocean! We're your opponents for this trial thing! You ready for it? |
| Selene | Whaaat?! |
| Lana | *chuckle* I never said what you had to fish for was a Pokémon! |
| Selene | Hook, line, and sinker! She got us! |
| Elio | No choice but to battle, then! Let's go all out, you two! |
| Selene | Yeah! |
| Selene | Now's your chance, Rowlet! |
| Marlon | Dude! You totally rocked that! |
| Lana | You defeated Marlon and the others, even though I worked so hard to recruit them... You were amazing, everyone! Truly impressive. You've completed my Pasio trial! |
| Elio | Yeah! |
| Selene | All right! |
| Lana | Next is Kiawe's trial. I wish you the best of luck. |
| Marlon | Yo, you got this! |
- A Dance and a Quiz
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Kiawe | I am Kiawe. I am a student of the ancient dances that have been passed down in Alola for generations... |
| Selene | Yeah, we know! |
| Kiawe | ...but I suppose you already knew that. Er...ahem. Of course, you will attempt my Pasio trial, right? |
| Elio | Of course!: Yeah! Let's work together and clear this thing! |
| Selene | I dunno...: Don't worry! Leave it to us! |
| Kiawe | Very well. My trial will test your powers of observation! There will be a dance...and then another. Your task will be to find the difference and answer a question! |
| Selene | Nothing new to me! We've cleared this kind of trial before, after all! |
| Kiawe | If you say so! So we begin! |
| Kiawe | Watch carefully and memorize this dance. |
| Kiawe | What was different from the previous dance? |
| Selene | That's easy! The hiker! |
| ??? | And now, time for a quiz! Who is the Gym Leader from Sinnoh who loves to dance?! |
| Selene | Huh?! Who just asked that? |
| Elio | It was a trick question! |
| Selene | A Gym Leader from Sinnoh?! I have no idea! |
| Elio | Oh, I know this...but I can't remember their name! Uh...their partner was Mismagius... Wait...Fantina?: Yeah! That's the one! |
| Selene | The Alluring, Soulful Dancer!: Huh? Who is that?! |
| Kiawe | Astounding! That was truly spectacular! And to add to the spectacle... Come, sync pairs! |
| Hiker | Yahoo! |
| Fantina | Dance, dance, dance! |
| Blaine | Hah! Are you ready to get burned? |
| Elio | Blaine from Cinnabar Gym, too?! |
| Kiawe | When Fantina, the hotheaded Blaine, and a Pasio hiker get excited, it's time for a battle! |
| Elio | OK! <player> answered that quiz, so I'll do my best in battle! |
| Elio | Go for it, Popplio! |
| Kiawe | S-spectacular! You've completed my Pasio trial! |
| Elio | All right! |
| Selene | Thank goodness... |
| Kiawe | Mallow's trial is the last one. We'll be dancing here to cheer you on! |
- An Irresistible Aroma
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Mallow | Thanks for stopping by! Welcome to my Pasio trial! Of course, you're gonna take on this trial, right? |
| Elio | I guess we'll be searching for ingredients in this forest here? |
| Mallow | Yup! Then I'm gonna cook up a special dish! But it's not gonna be as easy as it was back on Akala Island, OK? |
| Selene | That's fine! We have <player> here to help us! |
| Mallow | Great! I see you're ready. Then it's time for my Pasio trial to begin! |
| Elio | Mallow's cooking has all kinds of unique flavors. I wonder how it'll end up tasting. |
| Selene | Back in Alola, a Totem Pokémon came around because it was lured in by the scent of food! |
| Gloria | Oh, you need some ingredients to make some food? Here, you can have this! |
| Gloria | Curry is the best! |
| Ramos | Lookin' for some ingredients, eh? Why don't you take these? |
| Ramos | Enjoy those, young'n. They're a blessing from the woods. |
| Whitney | Oh, you're cookin' something? Well, obviously you're gonna need some of this! |
| Whitney | Oh, no worries! No need to thank me. |
Looks like someone's Ribombee wants it, too! | |
| Beauty | Hey! Stop being selfish, you! Sorry about that. Here, you should take some! |
| Mallow | Looks like you got all the ingredients we need! Time for me to get to work! First, we're gonna mash up the Berries and throw them into a pot. Then, we add in the milk and curry, heat it up... And lastly, add a bit of honey and a pinch of spice! Ta-da! It's a Super Mallow Special, ready for your tasting! |
| Selene | This aroma... I know a few people who would absolutely love this! |
| Hapu | I am famished! |
| Selene | And here they are! The island kahunas! |
| Elio | Let's make sure we clear this last trial! |
The Trainers from Alola gathered to celebrate the occasion. | |
| Kukui | Elio! Selene! <player>! Why don't you show everyone your partner Pokémon that helped you clear the trials? |
| Elio | Let's go, Popplio! |
| Selene | Come on out, Rowlet! |
| Elio | Thanks so much, everyone! Let's keep on doing our best! |
- Fetch the Meowth!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Elio | <player>! Perfect timing! Could you help us out with something? Some Meowth that Nanu is raising have escaped! Be careful, though. Meowth can have all kinds of personalities! |
| Elio | Different Meowth have different personalities, so watch out! |
| Elio | Haha! Look, it's having a little afternoon nap! Let's see if we can sneak up and catch it! |
| Elio | Whoa! It's a feisty Meowth! There, there. Nothing to be scared of! I have a Meowth back home, so I'm used to handling them. |
| Elio | What a cute voice! This is definitely a quiet, mellow one. Ack! Or maybe not! Quick, let's catch it! |
| Elio | OK, looks like we finally got everyone in one place. Let's head over to Nanu! |
| Nanu | Hey. Sorry 'bout that. I'm not used to Meowth that aren't from Alola. And yeah, I guess I should thank you properly for lending me a hand with all that. How about this? Would you like to try raising one of my Meowth? One's asleep, so it'll have to be one of these two. Which do you want? |
| Elio | The feisty Meowth.: That's the mellow one! The mellow Meowth.: That's the feisty one! |
| Nanu | Hmm... If you can't really tell the difference between their personalities, you might run into some issues raising them. Maybe I'll wait on handing one of them off to you for now. |
| Elio | Y-yeah, it's tough to tell at first what kind of personality they have. Let's study together so you can tell the difference next time! |
- Sophocles's New Helper
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Volkner | What are you two doing? |
| Selene | Alola! Sophocles is inspecting the electrical systems. I'm just helping him out! |
| Molayne | Hey, Soffy. You seem pretty busy lately. |
| Sophocles | Big Mo! Actually, some people have been making unapproved modifications, so I've been working on lot of repairs related to that. |
| Molayne | Well, that's a shame... |
| Sophocles | I know you shouldn't do unapproved modifications, but some of them are really clever! Someone made a really cool system that diverts electricity. It's so cool, I almost want to try copying it myself! |
| Molayne | I wonder if we know the person who did that. I know! Why don't you have Volkner here help you out with those repairs? |
| Selene | Yeah! Volkner's good with gadgets, too! |
| Volkner | Well...to tell you the truth, I'm the one who made those modifications! It was just a small...tinkering with the circuits so I can charge up stuff wherever I go. |
| Sophocles | So you're talking about this thing? |
| Volkner | Yeah. If you get a Pokémon to use electricity on it, it'll adjust the wattage and you can use it to charge your devices! |
| Sophocles | What about this one?! |
| Volkner | Uh, yeah! That's— |
| Sophocles | Oh, wow! This is so cool! Um! If you have some time, could you teach me some stuff while we're repairing this together? |
| Volkner | Sure, of course! I was the one who modified it, after all. Let me help you out! |
- 'Round Rowlet
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| May | So Selene's partner Pokémon is Rowlet! |
| Kris | I hear they can rotate their necks almost a full 180 degrees, but I don't think I've actually seen one do that before... |
| May | Actually, I haven't, either. |
| Kris | Wouldn't it be awesome to see it in person? |
| Selene | Hey, maybe we can ask Rowlet if he could rotate his neck for us! |
| Kris | That would be awesome! |
| Selene | Rowlet, could you? |
| May | Whoa! It can rotate that much?! |
| Kris | I have to get a sketch of this, quick! Ah, wait! Please don't move yet! That was so strange, I can't take my eyes off it! |
| May | Thank you so much, Rowlet! You too, Selene! I guess we shouldn't ask too much all at once, so you can rest now, but... Could you maybe show us that again some other time? |
| Selene | I think he's saying, "Sure, anything for you two!" |
| May | Thanks, Rowlet! |
| Kris | OK, great. And we won't ask again after that. We don't want to work you too hard, Rowlet! |
- Pasio Sight-Seeing
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Selene | We wanna learn more about Pasio! |
| Elio | Would you show us around? |
| Selene | The ocean here is so beautiful! |
| Elio | It sure reminds me of Alola! |
| Scientist | When it rains on Exeggutor Island in Alola, rainbows appear during the day. And at night, you can see meteor showers...or so the rumors say. How captivating! |
| Elio | Yeah! It's a really cool place! |
| Selene | I'd love to see a meteor shower here on Pasio, too! |
| Selene | Look! It's an Alolan Sandslash! |
| Swimmer (1) | The chill feels so nice on my skin after a good battle! |
| Selene | It's just like we're back in Alola! |
| Swimmer (2) | If I keep on paddling, I might just make it to Alola for some battling! |
| Elio | Paddling...battling... |
| Selene | Hey, that rhymes! |
| Elio | There's a cave over there! |
| Selene | Let's go check it out! |
| Selene | Whoa, it's all lit up, like the meteor showers back in Alola! It's so pretty! |
| Elio | Thanks to you, we got to see a lot of Pasio! |
| Selene | The world is so vast and full of wonderful places! |
| Elio | I hope we can keep on exploring together to find them all! |
| Selene | Yeah! Oh, but before that, we should also have some Pokémon battles! |
- What, Nothing?

| Elio | Oh, so you do modeling work in Unova! |
| Selene | You're so pretty, I was shocked when I first saw you! |
| Elesa | *chuckle* Thank you! |
| Selene | You should come visit us in Alola! I bet everyone would be shocked like I was! |
| Elio | There are a lot of sight-seeing spots, and we'd be happy to show you around! |
| Elesa | Yes, one day I would love to... lie lo' in Alola! Oh... Was that a shockingly bad pun? |
| Elio | ...Huh?! S-sorry! I was trying to think of something clever to say back, but I couldn't think of anything! Er...like, "Ya know...U-no-va"? |
| Selene | Hahaha! I think I get it now, Elesa! You're a really funny person, aren't you! |
| Hau | With all your overthinking and your laid-back personalities, you two sure take your time responding to things sometimes, huh? |
| Lillie | But I don't blame you! I think anyone would be shocked to bits the first time they heard Elesa tell a joke like that! |
- Wind and Sky

One day, as she was practicing, she saw a pair of familiar faces. | |
| Kahili | Selene! Winona! Nice to see you two. |
| Selene | Oh, it's Kahili! Alola! |
| Winona | Hello. Are you training again today? |
| Kahili | Yes. I completed my training up in the mountains... so now I'm working on perfecting my form on flatter ground. |
| Winona | You're working very hard. |
| Selene | Kahili, you're so great at Pokémon battles and golf! |
| Kahili | Oh, not at all... There aren't any golf tournaments here on Pasio, so I'm afraid I'm getting rusty. I'm thinking of adjusting my training regimen. What were the two of you up to? |
| Selene | We're cloud gazing! Right, Rowlet? |
| Winona | You can get a feel for the wind when you watch the clouds floating by. |
| Selene | Hey, Kahili. Doesn't the sky today remind you of Alola? |
| Kahili | Huh? I'm not sure... It's been a while since I've taken a good look at the sky. So...if it's OK, do you mind if join you? |
| Selene | Not at all! But what about your training? |
| Kahili | I'll adjust it and add in some scheduled rest. |

| Guzma | Uh... |
| Burgh | Yes, yes! The cuteness of the Bug-type Pokémon is emphasized by the addition of these two rugged humans! Great composition, Mina! |
| Mina | Ehe! |
| Plumeria | What are we, statues? |
| Elio | That's the first time I've seen Mina get so excited. And Guzma really mellowed out, huh? |
| Hapu | Yep. Everyone is starting to change as a result of experiencing new things in a new place. |
| Elio | A new place... I've also done a lot since I moved to Alola. I made a lot of friends there, and I think that changed me a lot! |
| Hapu | That's great to hear, especially as someone who grew up in Alola. By the way, Elio...have you found the island of Pasio to be a nice change? |
| Elio | Yeah! I think there's a lot to discover here—and loads of people to meet! I'm gonna keep on challenging myself to do all sorts of things on Pasio. |
| Hapu | That's the spirit! I'm rooting for you, Elio. |

| Crasher Wake | Crash! Crash! Crasher Wake! |
| Barry | You're amazing, Master Wake! |
| Molayne | Looks like that battle sparked a little flame in you, eh, Mr. Masked Royal? |
| Selene | The Masked Royal?! He's here?! |
| Kukui | Nah, how could he? I'm sure Molayne just meant something else. (Shhh! Don't blow my cover!) |
| Crasher Wake | If it isn't Professor Kukui! Perfect timing! I have a message to pass on! Tell the Masked Royal that I'll be waiting for him in the ring! |
| Selene | Wow, is that a challenge? |
| Kukui | Understood. I'll let him know, but I'm sure he'd be more than happy to accept! |
| Barry | Finally, a battle with the Masked Royal! But obviously, my master's gonna win! |
| Selene | No way! The Masked Royal is! |
| Barry | Absolutely not! It'll be my master! My master! |
| Crasher Wake | Guess we can't let our fans down, huh? |
| Kukui | Yeah! |
| Selene | The Masked Royal would never lose! Have you heard about his training? It's incredible! |
| Kukui | Hm? |
| Selene | In the morning, he wrestles with Bewear! After lunch, he does push-ups with Machamp! And at night, he trains by taking Incineroar's Darkest Lariat over and over again! |
| Kukui | Selene?! Isn't that stretching the— |
| Barry | REALLY?! That's hard-core! |
| Selene | Right? Well, not that I've seen him train in person, but I hear that's what he does! I know! Let's go and see what his training is like together sometime! |
| Kukui | Looks like I'm gonna have to crank up my workout routine to build more muscle right away... |
| Molayne | I guess that's the price we pay to keep the dream alive! |

| Mallow | Hey there! I'm stopping by! Let's hang out! |
| Gloria | Sorry, Mallow. Now's not really a great time. |
| Siebold | We're making some curry. And it's not going so well, so we don't have much time to play. |
| Mallow | That's what I figured! Don't worry, I brought a special helper with me! |
| Selene | Alola, Siebold, Gloria! |
| Mallow | You should let Selene taste that curry! |
| Gloria | Huh? But it's not ready yet. |
| Mallow | Oh, it'll be fine! Just let her taste it! |
| Selene | Here I go! Digging in! *munch munch* |
| Siebold | The curry still isn't complete, so we can't guarantee it'll taste any good. |
| Selene | Whoa! This is amazing! The meat and the vegetables balance each other out so perfectly! And the sauce—the main flavor and life of the curry—matches well with the ingredients! And this fragrant smell! It just makes you crave more and more! This curry is AWESOME! |
| Gloria | ... ... ... |
| Selene | But if you don't mind me mentioning something about the flavor...it's a little spicy. If there were a little more sweetness, it would add depth to the taste! |
| Siebold | Sweetness?! That's it! |
| Gloria | We need to sweeten it up to balance out the spice! That's what we were missing! Thanks, Selene! I think we'll be able to make a great curry now! |
| Mallow | Selene the food critic was a huge success! |

| Selene | Ah! That battle was a lot of fun! |
| Kahili | Yes, it was a good battle. |
| Kukui | My heart's on fire like a Blast Burn! Kahili! You've gotten stronger again! |
| Kahili | I would hope so. I did join the Elite Four at your request, despite my reservations... But it is rude to face a challenger with anything less than your best performance. |
| Selene | About that, Kahili... Are you sure you're OK with where you are now? |
| Kahili | What do you mean? |
| Elio | You know, I was thinking the same thing. After all, you're so strong, and you're the champion of the island challenge... I bet you'd be a perfect fit to be Alola's Champion! |
| Kukui | ... ... ... |
| Kahili | That's quite flattering. However, I think I would prefer to remain in the Elite Four. |
| Selene | Really? Why is that? |
| Kahili | Well... That's a secret. |
| Selene | Aw, why won't you tell us? |
| Kahili | It's getting late. It's about time you two headed back for the day. |
| Elio | I guess you're right. Shall we? |
| Selene | See you tomorrow, Professor Kukui and Kahili! |
| Kahili | I don't need to be the Champion... After all, the next generation of Trainers—kids like them—are going to blow onto the scene and kick up some wind. Right, Professor? |
| Kukui | Yeah. They're gonna be the wildest Hurricane anyone could ever imagine! |

| May | Wow! Is that Pokémon what I think it is? |
| Brendan | Whoa! That's so cool! Wait, this isn't what I came here for! I have to get back to the Pokémon Center and let Trista know what's going on! |
| Trista | Hello! I've just received some important information from May and Brendan. |
| May | You're not gonna believe this, but I saw Kyogre! |
| Brendan | And I found Groudon! Since they're both Legendary Pokémon, we thought it best to come here quick and report what we saw before it's too late! |
| Trista | We're not sure what caused these two Legendary Pokémon to appear, so we're requesting an official survey of where they were spotted. We'd like to confirm what's going on and make sure those areas are safe. I apologize for the inconvenience, but as a safety precaution, please avoid visiting the beach and volcano areas. |
| May | Aw man! So we can't go back? |
| Brendan | I hope it doesn't take too long for them to figure out if it's safe or not... |
| May | I know! If all they need is someone to sneak over and check things out, we could probably do that ourselves! |
| Brendan | Good idea! Hey, why don't you join us, <player>? |
| May | Yeah! I'd feel a lot better if you came with us, <player>! |
- A Creeping Crisis
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Archie | Thanks for the tip, kiddo! Say, why aren't you scared of me? Little scamps like you usually run away the moment they see my face... |
| Preschooler | You don't look scary to me! And my mommy says that if someone says thank you, that means they're a good person! |
| Archie | I see! Your mom sure knows what's what, kiddo! Hm? And who are you? That's quite a fierce expression for such a wee little scamp! You're not runnin' away scared, either... There sure are some oddballs here on Pasio! The name's Archie. I run an organization called Team Aqua. Basically, we're a group of environmentalists focused on protectin' the ocean! Lemme ask you something—what do you think of Pasio? The ocean here is pretty!: Tch... You don't get it, do you. It's full of nature!: Tch... You call this nature? Lemme tell you somethin', kiddo. The ocean is an irreplaceable treasure for every livin' thing on this planet. But just look at this travesty! Humans caused massive damage to the ocean to make this artificial island, all to satisfy their selfish egos! We of Team Aqua work for the sake of all Pokémon of the sea! Our mission is to return nature and the ocean back to their unspoiled origins! Pasio is no exception! This island makes me sick. I'd smash it to pieces if I could. Don't do that!: If the ocean had feelings, I'm sure it'd feel the same way about this island bein' plopped on top of it. Don't blame Pasio!: But what did the ocean ever do to anyone? Why's it gotta put up with havin' this island plopped on top of it? Well, it's all moot anyway. I just got a tip that Kyogre was spotted on this island. With its power, I can carry out my plan to sink Pasio into the ocean! This is my chance to make Kyogre's power mine... You better not get in my way! |
| Maxie | Very interesting. So this Lear individual is the creator of Pasio. Intriguing. I'd like to meet him. |
| Brendan | I guess that's fine, but you better promise me you won't do anything bad on Pasio! We have enough to deal with since Groudon showed up. |
| Maxie | Hm? Groudon is here, you say? |
| Brendan | Wait, were you planning to capture him all along?! |
| Maxie | *chuckle* I understand now... You think I'm some ruthless villain. I'm the leader of Team Magma, an organization dedicated to finding paths upon which humanity may stride freely forward and evolve. We need Groudon's power to achieve our ideal world! Of course, I don't intend to take anything by force. |
| Brendan | Oh, it's <player>. Wait, what?! Archie's gonna use Kyogre to sink Pasio into the ocean?! |
| Maxie | That fool... He's always coming up with these outrageous ideas. |
| Brendan | OK! I'll see you soon! |
| Maxie | I couldn't help but overhear your conversation. Archie's here on Pasio, isn't he. If so, we'll need to formulate a solid strategy to stop him. |
| Brendan | Wait, you're gonna help us? |
| Maxie | Well, we can't let him sink the island, can we? |
| Brendan | Fine... You can help us out. But don't you dare do anything shady, got it?! |
| Maxie | Of course. You have my word. |
- Stop Archie!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| May | All right, Maxie. You have a plan to stop Archie? |
| Maxie | That's correct. Specifically, we have to prevent Archie from making contact with Kyogre. But just in case, I'll approach Groudon in the meantime and get it to join our side. |
| May | If we do end up battling Kyogre, it's true that Groudon would be our best chance at beating it...but I'm still a little worried. Brendan, do you think we can do it? |
| Brendan | I understand your concern, May. But if we don't stop him, it's going to be a disaster. I can't just give up and watch that happen! |
| May | You're right, Brendan... OK! You can count on me, too! |
| Maxie | So we're all on the same page? Then it's time to execute our plan. |
| Brendan | Hold on a second! If Maxie's going to Groudon, what should the rest of us do? |
| Maxie | Brendan—that's your name, isn't it? Why don't you come with me. You're the one who knows where Groudon is, right? |
| May | In that case, <player> and I should try to find Archie... and stop him from capturing Kyogre! Both parts of our plan are gonna be tough, but we have to do our best to protect Pasio! |
| Archie | How can they call this island nature? It's nothin' but a blob of human greed! Whaddya think, Kyogre?! Wanna help me plunge Pasio into the briny deep?! Together, you and I are gonna make this sullied ocean pristine again! Archie, stop!: Hm? Oh, it's you again. Kyogre, don't do it!: Who said that?! Oh, it's you again. Doesn't look like you came here to help me out. |
| May | You can't just sink Pasio into the ocean! |
| Archie | Of course I can, kiddo! What, it's OK to pollute the ocean, but sinking an island is where the line's drawn? Why don't you explain that? It's the same thing, isn't it?! |
| May | It's not the same! Pasio may be artificial... but people and Pokémon live on it just like any other natural island! This island is full of life! |
| Archie | Full of life, huh? You might have a point there. But what about all the living creatures that lost their homes because of this island? Building Pasio damaged the nature surrounding it! How can you say that's OK? |
| May | It's not OK! I never said it was! |
| Archie | Wh-what?! |
| May | Oh no... Kyogre's going to attack! Archie, get away from there! |
| Brendan | Maxie, do you know how you're gonna get Groudon to come with us? |
| Maxie | I suppose the only way is to defeat it in battle. |
| Brendan | Wait, we have to battle Groudon? |
| Maxie | Sometimes, a bit of force is necessary in order to get things done. But I understand why you're so surprised. It will be dangerous after all. Do you want to turn back now? I won't hold it against you if you do. |
| Brendan | Of course not! I'm staying! |
| Maxie | Hmph. If only we had a little more time, I could have come up with a more efficient solution, but we just have to work with what we have. |
| Brendan | I don't mind! And I'll do what I can to save Pasio! Even if it means I have to battle Groudon! I may not look it, but I'm pretty strong! Leave the battling to me! |

| Brendan | This is where I spotted Groudon. |
| Maxie | Hmm... |
| Brendan | Whoa! What the— |
| Maxie | Mightyena, protect that boy! |
| Brendan | Treecko! Cover Mightyena and corner Groudon! |
| Maxie | Face me, you beast! I'll have you join me, Groudon! To protect the land...and fulfill my ambitions! |
| Maxie | Wait, I know that cry! Sounds like we may be too late. |
| May | They're so strong! At this rate, even <player> is gonna get pushed back... |
| Archie | Bwahahahahahaha! Bwaha! AHAHAHAHAHA! That's it, Kyogre! Sink this island to the bottom of the ocean! Wh-what?! |
| May | Is that...Groudon?! |
| May | Eeeek! May, are you OK?: Yeah, I'm fine! But we need to stop them! May, this way!: Thanks! But we have to stop those two! |
| Archie | Hahaha! Yes! Keep it up! Sink Pasio into the ocean! Get outta here! The ocean will rise and swallow everything up! Hm? That little scamp... |
| May | Oh no! That little girl is in danger! |
| Archie | Tch. Of all the— |
| Maxie | What on earth are you doing? There's no consistency to your actions. How do you expect your subordinates to ever respect you as their leader? |
| Archie | Maxie?! What are you doing here?! |
| Maxie | Hmph. We can save the chitchat for later. Right now, our first priority is stopping those two. |
| Preschooler | Um... Mister? |
| Archie | Tch... Fine! Hey, you little scamps! Take care of this kid! Get her to safer ground! Let's go, Sharpedo! We're gonna stop Kyogre and Groudon! |

| Archie | C'mon, Maxie! Don't you dare hold me back! |
| Maxie | I could say the same to you. |
| Maxie | They're strong... I suppose they aren't called super-ancient Legendary Pokémon just for show. |
| Brendan | We'll help you out! |
| May | We got that little girl to a safe place! She's OK! |
| Archie | Good. Thanks for doing that. Now I can finally cut loose! I appreciate it, scamps. |
| Maxie | It pains me to even suggest this, but allow me to distract them. Use that opportunity to stop at least one of them. I'm sure you can handle that, Archie. |
| Archie | What're you actin' all high and mighty for! Just shut up and watch me! |
| Maxie | Annoying and boisterous as ever... |
| Maxie | There, they stopped moving... Do it! |
| Archie | Go get em', scamps! |
| Brendan | Brendan! May!: We got this! Don't fall behind, May! |
| May | Brendan! May!: Don't worry! We're going all-out to save Pasio! Here we go!: Let's do it, Brendan! |
| Brendan | Here we go!: Yeah! Here comes our full-force attack! These super-ancient Pokémon won't know what hit 'em! |
| Brendan | Whew! They finally stopped... |
| May | I wonder why they were so upset in the first place. |
| Maxie | This is just my own hypothesis... but perhaps these super-ancient Pokémon were somehow influenced by us. |
| Archie | Wait, are you sayin' it's my fault? |
| Maxie | Not just yours. I'd say the fault lies equally with us both. After all, we came here from another region, didn't we? And Groudon and Kyogre are also from that region. They never existed on Pasio to begin with. Isn't that right? |
| Brendan | Yeah, because there aren't any wild Pokémon on Pasio in the first place. |
| Archie | What's your point? Are you sayin' Groudon and Kyogre came here because of us? That doesn't explain why they were rampaging! |
| May | Um... I think maybe they just felt overwhelmed. If I were them, I'd be really scared to suddenly find myself in a strange, new place, too. |
| Archie | Hah! That's pretty pathetic for a couple of super-ancient Legendary Pokémon! |
| Maxie | Well, this is all conjecture, of course. |
| Archie | But if they were raging because of us... then we've gotta take responsibility for that, don't we?! I'm sorry, Kyogre! I get it! You were freakin' out over bein' in some new place you didn't recognize! But that battle we just had showed you that we make a good team, right? Why don't I take care of you until we can head back home? |
| May | Wait, that means... |
| Archie | Yeah, I'll stop trying to sink Pasio into the ocean. |
| Maxie | Well...I can't say this was part of the plan, but if you find me worthy of being your partner, I won't stop you from joining me. |
| Brendan | So...I guess that's the end of that, then? |
| May | Yup! Looks like it! |
| Brendan | I really hope so... You two better not do anything else extreme just to fulfill your ambitions, got it?! |
| May | I'm so glad Pasio is safe!: Me too! We should head back and let everyone know it's safe! Let's report to Trista!: Sounds like a plan! The sooner we let everyone know they're safe, the better! |
| Archie | Oh, NOW you two show up?! |
| Maxie | Hmph. I can't believe you came after the situation was already resolved. How embarrassing... Now that the administrators of our respective organizations are here on Pasio, I suppose that means... |
| Archie | We can't keep playin' nice together on Pasio anymore, huh? Eh, that's more our style anyway! Don't you think so, too, Maxie-boy? |
| Maxie | Hmph. I hate to admit it, but I do agree. Even if it was just temporary, I suppose it wasn't so bad teaming up with you. |
| Archie | Hey, that's my line! |
| Archie | Whoa, hold your Horsea. No battlin' without me orderin' it, all right? We can save it for next time! Now that your crew's all here, we can battle as much as we want! |
| Maxie | Agreed. Let's call a short truce...for now, at least. |

| Emmet | Some verrrry interesting battles are about to start on Pasio! |
| Ingo | What sights will we see here? I can't wait, Emmet! |
| Emmet | Yeah, Ingo! We're on Pasio—a junction where all sorts of tracks converge! I'm going to enjoy being here! |
- A Train of Thought
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Ingo | Hmm... It looks like we've somehow arrived at a station we've never been to before. Look at this island! It's full of promising Trainers, brimming with talent! Bravo! What an excellent stop for us! |
| Emmet | Indeed, Ingo. I like winning battles against strong Trainers. And even more than that, I like combinations of different Pokémon! It looks like we can have a lot of fun battling here! |
| Ingo | Bravo! Then our destination is set! All aboard! Next stop— |
| Barry | Hey, I wonder where those tracks lead. |
| Dawn | Tracks? |
| Barry | Y'know, those tracks up on the mountain with the cart and everything! How could you NOT be curious about them? |
| Dawn | I guess I am a little curious... Wanna check them out and see where they take us? |
| Ingo | Tracks, they say... Emmet! Let's change tracks and embark on a new route! I have an idea that's sure to make you say "Bravo!" |
- The Tracks Continue
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
However, they discovered a strange duo who got there first. | |
| Ingo | Hello, everyone! We've been waiting for you! |
| Barry | Whoa, what's going on?! Are you twins or something? |
| Dawn | Oh, wait! Are you the Subway Bosses from Unova? |
| Barry | Subway Bosses? What're those? |
| Dawn | They're superstrong Trainers you can battle on the subway! At least, that's what Hilda told me. |
| Emmet | Right you are! We're the Subway Bosses! |
| Ingo | We hone our skills and aim for greater heights in the Battle Subway in Unova! As the subway travels underground, we enjoy Pokémon battles with our passengers inside the subway cars! |
| Barry | Whoa, really? That sounds like so much fun! |
| Emmet | If you ever visit Unova, we'd love for you to ride with us! Both Ingo and I will eagerly await your arrival! |
| Barry | Awesome! I'm definitely going to visit—and win! Actually, why wait? C'mon, let's battle here and now! |
| Ingo | Bravo! Excellent! Your enthusiasm has the momentum of a high-speed express train! |
| Emmet | However, we'd like to take a slight detour before this battle. |
| Ingo | I apologize for eavesdropping, but we happened to overhear your conversation at the Pokémon Center. And because of that, I came up with an idea! |
| Emmet | Ingo wants to use these minecarts to create something like the Battle Subway here on Pasio! |
| Dawn | What?! |
| Ingo | And of course, the best place for us to battle is right on the tracks! But we knew it would be impolite to explore the tracks on our own before you could. |
| Barry | Oh, I get it! You were waiting for us so we could all explore together! Let's do it! I wanna see where these tracks go! |
| Barry | Hey, the tracks just stop here! |
| Ingo | In that case, we'll just have to clear a path for laying down the rest of the tracks! |
| Emmet | Do you think it would be OK for us to do that without asking permission? |
| Dawn | Oh, in that case, you should probably ask Lear! He's the owner of this island! |
| Ingo | I see! Then let's find him right away! Thank you for your help! |
| Emmet | Yes! Thanks, everyone! |
| Barry | Once you get those tracks up and running, I'm definitely coming back to give them a shot! |
| Dawn | Good luck! |
| Ingo | All aboard! Next stop: Lear! |
- Full Speed Ahead
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Ingo | Apparently, we can meet Lear if we battle our way through the Battle Villa! It seems battles on Pasio are fought as three-on-three matches... |
| Emmet | But this is our chance to show everyone how strong we Subway Bosses are! |
| Ingo | Precisely! Let's demonstrate our combined power as a two-car train like we always do, Emmet! |
| Emmet | Or perhaps we'd be a four-car train, if you really think about it. |
| Ingo | Oh, you're right! Sync pairs include a Trainer and their partner Pokémon! We'll have to make sure we're more in sync with our partners than ever before! |
| Emmet | Check safety. Everything's ready! Aim for victory! All aboard! |
| Thorton | Bzweeeeep! Hmm... How very interesting... According to my data-interpreting machine... Yes. Very interesting, indeed. Looks like... Th...thirty-two percent?! |
| Emmet | What does that gadget do? |
| Thorton | Oh, don't let it concern you. I'm sure you'll figure it out once we start our battle! It's time to begin! |
| Beauty | Eeek! |
| Collector | S-so strong! |
| Thorton | Wow! You Subway Bosses sure are strong! *sigh* I guess my machine's analysis was accurate after all... |
| Emmet | We sure had a lot of fun! Battle us again sometime! |
| Darach | Welcome, Subway Bosses! I've heard about how skilled you two are. But let me assure you...you won't be shortchanged by facing me. |
| Ingo | Excellent! We shall rise to the challenge! |
| Darach | *chuckle* Very well. I see you require no convincing. Now then! En garde! |
| Camper | What a combination! |
| Emmet | Now's your chance, Archeops! |
| Darach | Our Pokémon cannot be faulted in any way, shape, or form. My hat's off to you. |
| Lear | I'm impressed that the two of you managed to make it all the way here. I'm so impressed, I'll overlook the fact that you ignored Pasio's rules about three-on-three battles! You mentioned some kind of request, didn't you? Let's hear it. |
| Ingo | Yes, sir! We'd like your permission to begin construction on the tracks on the mountain! So that we can use the minecarts! |
| Lear | Oh, is that all? I don't mind. Do as you wish. However! I will not accept any injuries or accidents, understood? |
| Ingo | Yes! Thank you! |
| Emmet | Awesome, Ingo! |
| Lear | That being said, you're not cleared to begin construction just yet. There's someone else you need to talk to first. His name is... |
- Excavation Negotiations
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Emmet | We need to speak to Clay, the Gym Leader of Driftveil City. |
| Ingo | Yes! Apparently, he got permission before we did to begin excavating that mountain! Clay is not just a Gym Leader. He is also a successful businessman. He might be a tough negotiator! |
| Emmet | Lear said we might have to talk to some other people, too. Folks who "like to get their hands dirty." I wonder what he meant by that. |
| ??? | Oh-ho! Well, look what we got here! |
| Clay | So y'all came to Pasio, too, huh? |
| Ingo | It's nice to see you, Clay! It certainly was a surprise to find that our train took us all the way to Pasio... |
| Emmet | But now we're here! And we want to make battles even more exciting! So, we came to ask a favor of you! |
| Clay | Is that right? Sounds mighty interestin', if ya ask me. |
| Ingo | Wonderful! So— |
| Clay | But I can't say yes just yet. Our group got permission first, and though I wouldn't mind lettin' you boys take over... There's a proper procedure to gettin' things done, and I'm set on finishin' this job before I pass this site off to anyone else. |
| Ingo | I...I see... |
| Emmet | In that case, why don't I lend you a hand? I can help you complete your job first! |
| Ingo | Emmet? Are you sure?! |
| Clay | Oho! Now there's an idea! |
| Emmet | I want to make Ingo's idea a reality! Please, let me do this! |
| Ingo | Emmet... I won't let you do that all by yourself! I'll help you, too, Clay! Excadrill and I will definitely fit your needs! |
| Clay | Heh. Well, that's a mighty fine Excadrill ya got there. If y'all insist on helpin', I certainly don't mind...but let's ask the others. Hey! Could y'all come out here? |
| Roark | What's up, Clay? |
| Steven | Hm? Oh, it's you two! |
| Emmet | Wow! The Champion of Hoenn and a Sinnoh Gym Leader! Ah, so this is what Lear meant by folks who like to get their hands dirty... |
| Clay | These fellers are the ones who're actually leadin' this project. I'm just helpin' 'em out. This island's an artificial construct, see. Land's made up of dirt, sand, and rocks from all sorts of places. To them, it's a pile of treasure just waitin' to be dug up! Steven, Roark... I got a proposition for ya. |
| Steven | How interesting! I love that idea, so I don't mind if you two want to do that kind of construction here! What about you, Roark? |
| Roark | I agree! But...if you find any interesting fossils or stones while you're working here, would you mind letting us have them? |
| Ingo | Of course! We would be delighted to do so! You have our word! |
| Clay | Well, if the leaders are on board, there's nothin' stoppin' you from startin' yer project! Don't worry about us! Go ahead and start excavatin'! |
| Ingo | Thank you very much, everyone! Next stop, the summit! All aboard! |

| Emmet | Excadrill will start drilling through the rocks! And Archeops will help carry the debris! I just love to see combinations of Pokémon working together! |
| Ingo | Yes! I agree, Emmet! Once this project is complete, we'll be able to see even more wonderful combinations! |
| Emmet | I'm looking forward to it! |
With the tracks completed, sync pairs flocked in droves to the newly opened battle area! The sync pairs followed the tracks down into the underground tunnel... and battled their way deeper into the mountain, while minecarts occasionally brought items for the sync pairs to use. The Subway Bosses stood ready in the depths of the tunnel, awaiting any challengers who could battle their way to them! | |
| Nate | You can do it, Braviary! We won't lose in a battle of speed! |
| Ingo | Don't forget—Emmet is not your only opponent! |
| Emmet | Check for safety. Everything's ready! |
| Nate | What?! |
| Ingo | Prepare yourself, Hilda! |
| Hilda | Uh-oh! |
| Hilda | Aww... They got us good... |
| Nate | I should've remembered how strong these Subway Bosses are! Sorry, Hilda! Guess I have to get better, huh... |
| Hilda | What are you apologizing for? We're a team, aren't we? We both did our best! Let's keep on training and give it another try next time! |
| Ingo | Bravo! Exactly! Your battle wasn't bad at all. However, we seem to have done slightly better than you. We'd really like to battle with you again! Please ride with us again! |
| Ingo | Bravo! Just as we thought, there are many excellent Trainers here on Pasio! We don't have any time to rest! |
| Emmet | Everyone is battling seriously and having fun! That's why I can't stop! Ingo, I'm so glad we were able to bring your idea to life! |
| Ingo | Oh, look! More passengers have arrived to battle! |
| Cynthia | Hello, Subway Bosses. It was quite the challenge to get all the way here. |
| Ingo | Well, if it isn't Cynthia! We heard rumors that you visited the Unova region! We've been waiting for you to ride with us ever since! |
| Cynthia | Sorry, I didn't get a chance to see Nimbasa City while I was in Unova... But I'm glad I'm here today to make up for it! I'm going to give this battle my all... with Wally as my teammate! |
| Wally | H-hello, everyone! It's nice to meet you! I trained in Hoenn to take on the world. Please have a look at my results! |
| Cynthia | Now then... I, Cynthia, challenge you! There won't be any letup from me! |
| Ingo | Of course! Let's have the greatest battle—better than ever before! Now, Emmet, if you have something to add, please! |
| Emmet | What I do. What I say. Always the same. Follow the rules. Safe driving! Follow the schedules. Everyone smile! Check safety. Everything's ready! Aim for victory! All aboard! |

| Ingo | <player>! You made it! |
| Emmet | I suppose that means you're going to challenge us, aren't you? |
| Ingo | Bravo! We've been waiting for you to do just that! Here, we don't follow the standard Pasio battle rules of three-on-three... Instead, we will take you on as a two-car train! Grab a friend and hop on board! |
| Emmet | We'll be waiting for you at the end of these tracks! This time, I'm really serious. Really serious. Because if a battle isn't serious, it isn't fun. I'm looking forward to a serious battle with you, <player>! |

| Ingo | Bravo! Really excellent! The best combination of you and your Pokémon... No, your entire team! It was incredible! |
| Emmet | I am Emmet. I lost together with Ingo. But I feel good. And I think the best team won. Your combination is the best. Perfect! You'll keep getting stronger! The strength you have, your trust in your Pokémon and your team, their never-ending support! You want to win, and I don't want to lose. Those feelings are real. When we clash in battles, I feel very excited! Yep! It was so much fun! |
| Ingo | Winning against us is a milestone in your life. You, <player>, can rack up more and more wins. When you and someone else combine... your engine powers something special! Please move on to an even greater goal! |
| Emmet | If we fight again, we won't know what to expect. That's why we're waiting for you to come back! |

| Gloria | Yeah! Marnie and I are going to open a pop-up eatery on the beach! We're going to call it...Dine-A-Max! |
| Marnie | I'm not as keen on the idea, what with it bein' so hot outside...but Gloria really wants to do it. |
| Gloria | Thanks, Marnie! That's why we were looking for you—because we need your help! We have permission from Sawyer to set up shop, so all we need now is a few more people to help us out! If you're OK with joining our team, come find us at the beach! |

| Marley | Mallow, we have two orders... One Z-Set and one curry, please. |
| Mallow | Thanks for stopping by! I'll whip those up in no time! |
| Beauty | Hmm... What do you recommend I try? |
| Marnie | Um... Well... |
| Gloria | We've got just the thing for you! Why don't you try our order roulette? |
| Beauty | What's that? |
| Gloria | I'm glad you asked! My Inteleon, which traveled around Galar with me, is a crack-shot sniper with Water Gun! This order roulette is a brand-new way of ordering food that showcases his talents! We'll spin the roulette wheel and have Inteleon take a shot at it to place your order! Each section of the wheel is a different menu item! We've got Z-Sets, curry, Rage Candy Bars... And last but not least, “On the House”! Hit that spot, and you'll get any menu item you choose for free! |
| Beauty | Oh my! What a deal! |
| Gloria | Inteleon is gonna keep his aim steady on a set point. All you have to do is let him know when you want him to shoot! |
| Beauty | OK! I'll give it a try! |
| Gloria | One roulette order, coming up! Good luck!: Here goes the roulette! Give us the signal! Ready... Start!: And off it spins! Give us the signal! |
| Beauty | Now! |
| Mallow | Whoa! That's amazing! |
| Gloria | You hit "On the House"! |
| Beauty | Wonderful! Then...I'll have a Z-Set, please! |
| Marnie | Gloria's amazin'. I've gotta step up my game. She's made good use of Inteleon's best skills... So maybe Grimmsnarl and I can do the same! |
| Preschooler | I wanna order, pwease! |
| Marnie | Huh? Oh, sure. What would ya like? |
| Preschooler | Waaah! Waaah! You're both so scary! |
| Marnie | Wait, both of us? |
| Gloria | Marnie, what's wrong? |
| Marnie | Gloria! I, uh... |
| Gloria | It's OK! Marnie, could you help out over there for a bit? I'll take care of this kid! |
| Marnie | Yeah... Thanks, Gloria. |
| Gloria | Good work, everyone! Dine-A-Max had so many customers today! |

| Marnie | Watch this. Why can't I smile right? I've gotta do better than this! |
| ??? | Hi, Marnie. |
| Marley | Are you...practicing how to smile? |
| Marnie | Yeah. I wanna learn how to smile like Gloria, though I know it's silly to try at this point... |
| Marley | I wouldn't think that at all! Look at how hard you're working! That little girl who cried earlier today was just a little startled—that's all. |
| Marnie | Thanks, Marley. But I think it's important to smile if you're workin' in front of customers! |
| Marley | You're such a hard worker, Marnie. I'm not good at expressing myself, either. So I think I understand how you feel. |
| Marnie | Hey, Marley? What made you decide to help us run Dine-A-Max? |
| Marley | Well... I figured it'd be more fun to give it a try rather than just turn it down because I'm not good at it. |
| Marnie | Huh, I guess that's the same as me. |
| Marley | Would you mind if...if I practiced smiling with you? |
| Marnie | Please do! Can I ask ya for some advice while you're here? |
| Marley | *chuckle* Sure. I'll do what I can! |
| Marnie | What was that? Sounded like it was comin' from our pop-up! |
| Masked Man | Yeah! Break it all! |
| Marnie | Hey, cut it out! Why are ya doin' this? |
| Masked Woman | Oh, it's you! |
| Masked Man | None of your business! Machamp, keep breaking that! |
| Masked Man | Ack! Noooooo! Machamp! |
| Marnie | I'll ask ya again: Why are ya doin' this? |
| Masked Man | W-we were trying to reform ourselves! We worked really hard to build a beachside pop-up, all on our own! |
| Masked Woman | But then you all came along and stole all of our customers... I mean...we know it's not right...but with our sales dropping so much, we didn't know what else to do... |
| Masked Man | I'm sorry! If you're gonna punish someone for this, punish me! It was my idea, not hers! |
| Marley | Marnie...these people are feeling bad for what they did. |
| Marnie | Yeah, I know. I can tell, 'cause I know some people who're just like 'em... Y'know what? I've got an idea for how I can help ya. Leave it to me! |
| Gloria | Marnie and Marley are late today... |
| Marnie | Sorry to keep ya waitin'! |
| Gloria | Good morning! There's a lot we need you to prep... |
| Marnie | Sorry! We've got some new plans, actually... Starting today, Marley and I are gonna be helpin' out Team Break with their pop-up! |
| Mallow | What? |
| Marnie | I've found somethin' that I wanna do. |
| Mallow | What's up with you all of a sudden? Why are y— |
| Gloria | It's OK, Mallow! I'm sure Marnie has a good reason. |
| Mallow | I guess, but... |
| Marnie | Sorry, Mallow. It's not that I dislike workin' here at Dine-A-Max or anythin'... It's just...I wanna compete with Gloria on my own terms! Course, that's not the only reason. But it is true that I wanna challenge you! From this point on, we're rivals! We're gonna have a proper showdown, and I'm not holdin' back! |
| Gloria | Yeah, I understand! It's a challenge! And I don't plan on losing! |
| Marnie | Neither do I! |
- A Splash of Inspiration
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Mallow | I see... So all that happened last night, huh? I get her reason for leaving us, but... I don't think helping out a rival eatery is the right solution here. If you're running a business, there's always going to be some competition to get customers. But if you stop to help every single store that runs into problems along the way, you might get run out of business yourself! And even if that Team Break pop-up gets its customers back, that's just temporary. It might not last forever! |
| Gloria | I know what you mean, Mallow. But I think I understand Marnie's feelings, too. How so?: Because we're both from Galar...and we're each other's rival! Yeah! Because you're rivals!: Yup! We're both from Galar, and we're each other's rival! That's why I think I understand where she's coming from. I know that those Team Break members were doing something wrong. But I think they really were doing their best to make their pop-up succeed! I bet that reminded Marnie of the people back in Spikemuth. She loves them a lot, and they're quite similar to Team Break, if you think about it! So of course she would offer to help them out! I love how kind she is! |
| Mallow | *sigh* I'd say you're pretty kind, too, for letting her leave us like that. Oh well! Guess we just have to carry on, then! We'll have to do our very best on our end, too! |
| Marley | I'll see you later. I have to join Marnie now. |
| Gloria | Oh, hold on a second! Could you pass on a message to Marnie for me? |
| Masked Man | Welcome, welcome! We've got some tasty Z-Noodles for you to slurp right up! |
| Marnie | Welcome, welcome! |
| Masked Man | Boss, your smile looks kinda stiff... |
| Marnie | ... ... ... |
| Masked Man | I-it's OK! You're still charming just as you are now! |
| Marnie | Thanks... *sigh* Why can't I do it right... I was so confident, and I even declared that we were rivals and left the other pop-up... But I still can't make a single good smile... No—I have to! Otherwise, I can't face Gloria! |
| Marley | "You can't force a smile." "You can find other ways to get more customers. Ways that are better suited for you!" Gloria told me to tell you that. |
| Marnie | Gloria? Even though I'm the one who challenged her? |
| Marley | I think that's exactly why she's telling you this. She also wants to compete with everything she's got. That's why she's giving you this advice. You two really are great rivals for each other. |
| Marnie | Thanks, Marley. I think Gloria would be happy to hear that, too. |
| Marley | I was wondering... Is there anything that makes you smile naturally? |
| Marnie | Yeah, of course. Oi! Is your Machamp doin' anythin' right now? |
| Masked Man | Nope. No customers are here yet, so he's just loafing around. What're you thinking? |
| Marnie | Isn't it obvious? I've thought of somethin' that's sure to bring in loads of customers! |
| Masked Man | What do you mean? |
| Marnie | Well, obviously I mean that we're gonna show everyone some intense Pokémon battles! |

| Gloria | Thank you very much! Next customer, please! ...Wait, huh? What happened to all the people that were here? |
| Mallow | Gloria, take a look over there! |
| Masked Man | The battle's only just begun! Behold this sea of muscular power! |
| Marnie | Grimmsnarl! Once you evade that, we're goin' in for a counterattack! |
| Masked Man | Waaah! We lost! |
| Marnie | Yeah! We won! |
| Street Thug | Whoa! Marnie's smile is so cute! That calls for a toast! Get me one of those new juices, please! |
| Beauty | Could I get an order of Z-Noodles? |
| Mallow | Oh, I see! They're selling food and drinks to people who came to watch their Pokémon battles! Awesome! What a great idea! |
| Gloria | Yeah, it's perfect! Marnie's smiles and battles are both looking great! We should get back to work so we don't fall behind! Inteleon! Mallow! We've gotta work even harder to make this pop-up a success and beat Marnie! |
| Masked Man | Thank you so much for helping us, boss! |
| Masked Woman | Thanks to all your help, I think we'll be OK on our own now! We still have a lot to work on, but we promise to do it the right way from now on! |
| Marnie | Yeah... That's how it should be. I know you can do it! Good luck! |
| Masked Man | Thanks a bunch! |
| Gloria | Hey, Marnie! You did great today! |
| Marnie | Thanks. You too. |
| Gloria | That idea you had to set up a Pokémon battle viewing area was great! You're amazing! |
| Marnie | I only thought of it 'cause of your advice, Gloria. Y'know how everyone in Galar loves to watch a proper match between Dynamax Pokémon? My big bro and I have always tried to show everyone that even if ya can't Dynamax, ya can still have really amazin' battles. I remembered that...an' it inspired me to set that all up! |
| Gloria | Are you going to help them out again tomorrow? |
| Marnie | No, I think they'll be fine on their own now. Tomorrow, I want to work with you again, an' we're gonna get everyone excited about our pop-up! But don't you worry—I'll make sure to bring in as many customers as you do! |
| Gloria | Right back at ya! We've come here all the way from Galar, after all! Let's have some fun and make tons of memories this summer! |

| Lillie | I have! It's someone I really owe a lot to. |

| N | Our hope is that we can all use this gala to express how much we love our partner Pokémon! |
| Lillie | Yes! Lear actually asked the three of us to host the event. He even had these fancy outfits made for us just for the occasion! |
| N | We're going to wear them when we take the stage in the arena. |

| Lusamine | Oh no—my sweet Lillie... This is her big moment! Should I do something to help? |
| Selene | We only have one job to do right now, and that's to cheer them on with everything we've got! |
| Elio | You can do it, Lillie! Professor Kukui! We're rooting for you! |
| Lillie | Back in Alola, you helped me out more times than I could count, Professor Kukui. I wouldn't be who I am today if not for all of the amazing people who supported me along the way. This battle is for you—to show you all how truly thankful I am! Come on out, Lunala! |
| Kukui | Oho! You partnered up with the Legendary Pokémon Lunala?! Aw yeah, I'm into it! As for me... I gotta go with my buddy Lycanroc! Man, it makes me so happy to see how much you kids have grown! I hope we can all keep working together to make Alola— Nah...Pasio! No... ...the WORLD a more fun place to be! |

| Lear | Brilliant match! What a great start! Next up, we have N... Come, trust in the bond between you and your Pokémon, and show us all a glorious victory! But wait—before we move on to the match... N, would you care to grace us with a speech? |
| N | A...speech? |
| Sawyer | The young master heard about your dream and wanted to support your message somehow. It would please him greatly if you could share a few words. |
| N | Well, uh... I'm not really accustomed to giving speeches. So...I suppose I'll just speak from my heart. Humans and Pokémon can form strong connections together. Aid one another. It's why we make the best partners. But in order for that to happen, we have to accept ideas that are different from ours instead of shunning them. Seeing Pokémon and Trainers form sync pairs, seeing how they find common ground with one another and battle together in teams... Pasio is about as close to my ideal as anywhere can be. But darkness still exists in this world, and reality can be a harsh place to live in sometimes. That is why today, I want all of you to turn to your partner Pokémon and remind yourselves of the irreplaceable bond you share! Show your Pokémon your true, unwavering love! If all of us can do that, I believe we can change this world like a chemical reaction. That takes care of that, then... Are you ready, <player>? As you've already seen once today, we get to choose our own opponents at the Unity Gala. I'd like to use this battle to express how grateful I am to have met so many wonderful sync pairs on Pasio. So I'd like you to— |
| Hilbert | Hold up! I'm the one you wanna battle! |
| Hilda | Hey, you can't just jump the gun like that! N! Pick ME to be your opponent! |
| N | I'd love to battle you both, but I can't exactly choose between you... Ah, I know! Why don’t we have a double battle? You two against <player> and me. |
| Hilda | I like the sound of that! Let's do it, Hilbert! |
| Hilbert | All right! Look out, <player>! And you, too, N! We won't go easy on you! |
| N | *chuckle* I'm glad we found a solution, even if it is a bit much. Now then, let's get this lovefest back on track! It's time to battle! |

| Wallace | Simply wonderful. You and Rayquaza are in perfect harmony with one another! |
| Steven | Well, I believe you deserve some credit for helping me dissolve much of the mystery surrounding Rayquaza. |
| Wallace | Ah... Are you referring to Hoenn's ancient lore and the Draconid people? |
| Steven | Indeed. Thanks to you, I gained a deeper understanding of Rayquaza. I chose to battle you today to show you how much that's paid off. |
| Wallace | That's all you, Steven. You're the one who was curious about the relationship between Mega Evolution and meteorites in the first place, right? |
| Steven | That's true, I suppose... I did battle a Rayquaza once before, though. If not for the help of a certain formidable Trainer, I would have been in deep trouble. That battle remains burned into my memory to this day. I can still see it clearly in my mind—that Trainer standing defiantly before the might of Rayquaza. Now that I've partnered up with this Rayquaza here on Pasio... I hope that the pair of us can grow strong enough to surpass him! |
| Wallace | No wonder you were so focused on researching Rayquaza back then. |
| Steven | Besides, there's another Trainer on Pasio who's partnered up with a Rayquaza. I’d like to battle her someday, too. And this time, I think I'll be able to approach a battle against Rayquaza a bit differently than before. |
| Wallace | You do hate to lose, don't you, Steven. |
| Steven | If I'm going to battle, I'd obviously rather win than lose! Just like I intend to defeat you right now! |
| Wallace | I won't go down so easily! Prepare to be dazzled by my aquatic illusions! |

| N | Perhaps... But I'm my own person, and so is he. We both think very differently. Our goals are not the same. However...I'd like to wish for everyone to be happy, regardless of who they are or where they're from. That's the kind of love I'm capable of as a human being. |
| Nate | N... |
| Rosa | You're such a kindhearted person, N. You really understand the power of truth! |
| N | Thank you for saying that. If that's true, then I owe a lot to the people and Pokémon I met back in Unova and here on Pasio. They helped me become who I am today. You think so, too, Reshiram? I'm not alone. I have friends. |

| Professor Sycamore | You're right. How very intriguing! |
| N | Are you curious about Reshiram and Zekrom? |
| Serena | Yeah! We have statues of both of them in the Kalos region. |
| Professor Sycamore | It is said that Reshiram and Zekrom were involved in Unova's creation... whereas Xerneas and Yveltal are said to have had a hand in Kalos's destruction. |
| N | Two regions—each with two Legendary Pokémon that played a huge role in their region's history... It sounds like the myths of our homelands share quite a few similarities. |
| Professor Sycamore | Good observation! You're a clever one, aren't you! I think it would be interesting to investigate how the myths of Unova made it over to Kalos in the first place. |
| N | I'd be curious to see how the tale of these two made it all the way there as well. Maybe Reshiram, Zekrom, and I will have to pay Kalos a visit sometime. |

| Lillie | Lunatone is shaped like a crescent moon, too! How adorable! |
| Liza | Aww! Look how happy it looks! Maybe it likes the way Lunala made a circle with its wings. Lunatone is always full of energy when the moon is at its fullest! |
| Lillie | Do you think Lunatone may have mistaken my Lunala for the real moon? That's so cute. I bet the two of them would make the best of friends. Moon Pokémon are bound to get along with each other, right? |
| Liza | I think so! They'd make a cosmic combination for sure! |
| Lillie | We should team up together! That sounds like it would be so much fun! |

| Leon | Oh, is Rayquaza attracted to meteorites? Interesting... They say that Eternatus arrived to the planet inside a meteorite that fell in ancient times! Maybe it's got a meteorite-like energy about it because of that! |
| Steven | That would make sense... In any case, it seems your partner has sparked a flame within Rayquaza. Shall we sate its curiosity with a battle? |
| Leon | I never refuse a challenge! A legendary face-off between two Legendary Pokémon... This ought to be good! Sounds like Eternatus is keen as well! |
| Steven | Come on, Rayquaza! Let's show these two how strong we are! |

| Zinnia | Pshh, I couldn't care less about it. But my Rayquaza here seems to be very interested in yours. |
| Steven | What a coincidence. My Rayquaza seems quite interested in yours as well. Maybe it's natural for Rayquaza to be drawn to other Rayquaza. |
| Zinnia | Who knows? Appearance isn't everything. They could look totally different from one another and still be drawn to each other. |
| Steven | True... You may be right about that. |
| Zinnia | Well, good talk. I've got places to be... |
| Steven | But you've only just arrived! Why not stay and enjoy the gala for a while? |
| Zinnia | Listen. I'm not here to make friends, all right? But there is something we're gonna need to clear up here pretty soon. And that's which one of our Rayquaza is stronger. And cooler. |

|---|---|
| Caitlin | There you are, <player>. I've been looking all over for you. I wanted to give you an invitation to the Midnight Spookfest. It's a ghastly, ghoulish battle event that takes place in a haunted mansion. Lear had hoped to pass on the invitation personally as the host of the event... but apparently he's a bit preoccupied with all of the preparation right now, so the task has fallen upon me. Speaking of which, I should probably get going. Lots of invitations to hand out... |
| Morty | Was that Caitlin just now? It's odd to see her without Darach at her side. I'm guessing she gave you an invite to the Spookfest as well? I'm excited to see what all the hype is about. Who knows what spine-chilling surprises Lear has in store for us. I figured I'd dress up for the occasion in any case. It sounds like it's going to be a night to remember... *chuckle* |

| Hilbert | Hey, I think I see it, <player>! This is where the Midnight Spookfest is gonna take place! I wonder if any other sync pairs have arrived yet. Come on, let's head inside! |
| Hilbert | Huh... They really made this place feel like a haunted house. I feel like at any moment, something spooky could sneak up and— |
| Hilbert | AHHH! Wh-what was that?! |
| Wikstrom | A haunted suit of armor!: You would mistake me for a ghost while I still draw breath? Why, I should be insulted! Wikstrom?!: Aye, young sir/lady! Verily am I the famed blade of hardened steel! Sir Lear has asked me to welcome all participants into the hall, so welcome you I shall! Apparently, my striking visage is exactly what he was looking for as the first face people see when they walk through the door. |
| Hilbert | O-oh, I see... So this is all part of Lear's plan. Not gonna lie, I panicked a little when you crept up behind me, Wikstrom. |
| Wikstrom | Is that so? If the sight of my armor was enough to strike terror in you, I fear you may suffer far worse up ahead... for within these halls, spine-chilling specters and spooks await you around every corner! |
| Hilbert | Pssh, I'm not scared one bit! And actually, I was just joking when I said I panicked earlier! |
| Wikstrom | *chuckle* You put on quite a brave face, young sir. Let's see how long it lasts. The main event hall is just up ahead. Steel yourselves and march on, my friends! May your courage never falter as you fight your way to the very end! |
| Lear | Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Midnight Spookfest! I hope you all enjoy the very special Pokémon battles we've prepared for you tonight! |
| Hilbert | Lear really went all out for this party, huh. It's like we're part of some high society get-together in a castle... |
| Morty | Are you all right? I couldn't help noticing you look a little anxious. Are you nervous about walking through the villa halls in the dark? |
| Hilbert | Wh-what? No way! Who'd be scared of something silly like that? It's all of the glitz and glamor in this place... I can’t relax in this environment. |
| Morty | Interesting... I feel the same. I'm used to training in a quiet environment, so this is quite strange for me. |
| Hilbert | Really?! Phew... I'm glad it's not just me! All this excitement is making me kinda thirsty... |
| Darach | Would you care for a beverage? |
| Hilbert | Oh! Thanks, Darach! |
| Darach | Should you need anything else, please don't hesitate to call me over. |
| Morty | Huh... Are you not attending to Caitlin tonight? I hardly ever see you apart. |
| Darach | Yes... I shall endeavor to be as a shadow this evening, watching over Lady Caitlin from a short distance away. |
| Morty | Lavish gatherings like this must be a dime a dozen where she comes from. She looks as calm and cool as ever. |
| Darach | Quite the contrary... Though Lady Caitlin may appear that way to you, I would wager that she's actually quite excited right now. |
| Hilbert | Really? She doesn't look any different to me... |
| Darach | Watch closely. You'll notice she hasn't yawned even once today! |
| Morty | Huh... |
| Darach | Speaking of Lady Caitlin, I have a favor I would like to ask of you all... If it's not too much to ask, could you accompany her tonight? I'm certain Lady Caitlin would jump at the chance to participate with your group, but she's not in the habit of inviting herself, you see... |
| Morty | Oh, is that all? We'd love to have her join us. |
| Hilbert | Yeah! The more the merrier! |
| Darach | Your kindness knows no bounds. I shall take my leave, then... |
| Morty | Hey, Caitlin. Would you like to join us for the event tonight? |
| Hilbert | We're looking for a strong Trainer to fill out our team. |
| Caitlin | You wish for me to join you? Hmm... I think I'd like that. |
| Morty | Excellent! |
| Lear | You lot look awfully confident. Not that that's going to last much longer. |
| Lear | The fun's about to begin! Try not to run off at the first scare, all right? |
| Hilbert | We're totally fine! Wikstrom wasn’t even that scary at all. |
| Morty | I'm actually pretty excited to see what awaits us ahead. |
| Lear | Hmph! Well, don't come crying to me if it turns out to be scarier than you think! There's a magnificent prize waiting for the team that can defeat the sync pair in the final room. Prove your mettle and return here with the prize in hand! |
| Morty | All right, then... Ready to go, everyone? |
| Hilbert | That prize is as good as ours! |
| Morty | There's no way we'll lose!/Let's do it, team!: That's the spirit. If we work together as a team, I'm sure we'll do just fine! |

| Caitlin | It's quite dark in here, isn't it. |
| Morty | I'm used to the dark, so this is pretty normal for me. Are the rest of you doing all right? |
| Caitlin | Oh, I'm splendid. Do you think we'll run into something spooky soon? |
| Hilbert | Well, we already know there's gonna be traps and stuff. When we run into them, it probably won't even be... Uhh...what's that all over the walls?! |
| Caitlin | It looks like this room has been decorated with masks... |
| Morty | Could they be party favors for the event? |
| Hilbert | Th-these are some weird party favors... Ahhhh!: What was that?! Did you hear that?!: Y-yeah, I heard it! What do you think it was? |
| Morty | It sounded like someone knocked over a vase to me. |
| Caitlin | Hm? I thought I just saw the eyes in those masks sparkle... |
| Hilbert | Th-there are eyes in the masks?! Ahh! Did you hear THAT?! |
| Caitlin | It sounded like a Pokémon's cry. |
| Morty | *chuckle* Specters and spooks indeed. |
| Hilbert | How are both of you so c-calm right now?! |
| Morty | I...don't really know how to answer that. |
| Caitlin | Ah, it looks like the ghost Pokémon have come out to welcome us. |
| Hilbert | If by "welcome" you mean bare their teeth in open hostility toward us... |
| Morty | This could be an excellent training opportunity! One day, a Legendary Pokémon will appear before me. I have to train to prepare myself! Looks like Banette is ready for a fight, too! |
| Hilbert | Morty...are you actually enjoying this?! |
| Morty | Of course! Now, let's battle, shall we? |
| Morty | This Midnight Spookfest is my kind of party! |
| Caitlin | To rush at us out of the blue like that... Ghost Pokémon are full of surprises, aren't they. Much of what you do is still a mystery to me, Sableye. I hope participating in the Spookfest allows me to learn a bit more about you—and about ghost Pokémon as well. |
| Hilbert | I still don’t understand how both of you are so unfazed by all of this... But we'll do our best, too! Go, Mightyena! |
| Hilbert | Look! There are more of them!: You OK, <player>?! Come on, we'll get through this together! More ghost Pokémon!: Careful, <player>! Just stay calm—we'll face this together! |
| Hilbert | I never knew ghost Pokémon were so aggressive... If this is all just an act for the Spookfest, it sure is a convincing one! |
| Morty | Phew... Nice job everybody. Looks like we managed to drive them off. Shall we brush ourselves off and get moving again? Hm? |
| Caitlin | Is that another ghost Pokémon? |
| Hilbert | Let's tread carefully. It might rush up and attack like the last ones! |
| Morty | Hang on... I don't sense any hostility from this Pumpkaboo. I don't think it means to start a fight. |
| Hilbert | Then...what is it doing here? |
| Caitlin | Perhaps it wants us to follow it. |
| Morty | Interesting... It could be trying to lead us somewhere. |
| Hilbert | Hmm... What do you think we should do, <player>? Let's follow it.: *gulp* If you think that's what we should do, then I guess I'm with you... It could be a trap.: *gulp* It sure could be... |
| Caitlin | What are we waiting for? Let's go. |
| Morty | We'll be fine as long as we all stick together. |
| Hilbert | I wonder where it'll lead us... |
| Hilbert | Huh?! What is this place? |
| Caitlin | How did we get to this cave from the villa? |
| Morty | Could it be... Pumpkaboo are said to carry wandering spirits to the place they belong so that they can move on. This place could be a bridge to the afterlife... |
| Caitlin | You think it might be trying to usher our spirits away with it? |
| Hilbert | Wha—?! Now's not the time for calm analysis, you two! |
| Caitlin | I propose we turn back and get out of here... |
- The Warden in the Dark
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Hilbert | Phew! We made it...back safely... |
| Caitlin | I didn't think I’d be guided into the afterlife this evening... |
| Hilbert | You could have at least mentioned that Pumpkaboo like to carry spirits to their resting place, you know... |
| Morty | Well, I thought it might be rude to say no if that's what it was really trying to do. |
| Caitlin | Are all ghost Pokémon Trainers accustomed to this sort of thing, I wonder? |
| Hilbert | I'm sure it depends on the person... *sigh* I guess this event turned out to be a lot more grim than we thought, huh... I hope we find the sync pair waiting in the final room soo— Ahh! I think something just touched my leg! |
| Caitlin | It looks like a mask... |
| Hilbert | Do you think someone might have dropped it? Or is this just another decoration like that other room... |
| Morty | Hard to say. We might as well bring it with us, though, in case somebody lost it. This has been quite a journey so far...but if I'm not mistaken, that should be the final room up ahead. |
| Hilbert | Finally! That felt like it took forever... |
| Caitlin | Ahem... Entering the room may prove to be a bit difficult. |
| Hilbert | Huh? What do you— |
| Hilbert | A Gengar?! |
| Morty | It was probably placed here as a warden to keep us out. All that's left to do is bust through this obstacle and make our way through the final door! |
| Hilbert | All right! Let's do this! |
| Caitlin | A grand battle such as this calls for grace and elegance! Hm? Whatever is the matter, Sableye? Don't you want to battle? Sorry, could we pause for a moment, everyone? Sableye...I want to understand you better. Please, do what you think is right. We’ll wait. |
| Hilbert | Are they...talking to each other? |
| Morty | That Gengar didn’t budge an inch from the door when our Pokémon were attacking it. There could be something else at play here... Something unrelated to the event. |
| Caitlin | Oh, I see... |
| Hilbert | Can you understand what they're saying, Caitlin? |
| Caitlin | Not exactly...but I think I got the gist of what they're trying to convey. Gengar is going to step aside for us. It seems very concerned about the mask we picked up in the other room. |
| Morty | So it just wants us to bring the mask inside with us? Well, that was easy. |
| Caitlin | You were brilliant, Sableye. Thanks to you, we can all move ahead. Shall we, everyone? |
| Hilbert | Wha—?! How'd we get outside again? |
| Morty | The ghost Pokémon may be using their power to warp reality in this place. |
| ??? | *sniffle* What am I going to do... |
| Hilbert | That's not a g-g-ghost...is it? |
| Hilbert | Wait, Caitlin! It could be dangerous! |
| Caitlin | It's perfectly fine. Hello... Why are you all alone over here? |
| ??? | M-my mask... |
| Caitlin | Mask? Are you referring to this? |
| ??? | Ah! Y-yes...that's my mask! Please...give it back... |
| Caitlin | Oh... All right, then. Here you go. |
| Allister | Th-thank you...for finding my mask... |
| Morty | Aren't you that Gym Leader from...Galar, was it? |
- A Mask and a Friend
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Morty | Yes... Allister, the Gym Leader from the Galar region. I thought I recognized you! |
| Allister | Yeah... Yeah, that's me... |
| Caitlin | We heard that we’d get a fabulous prize if we could defeat the sync pair in this room... Do you know anything about that? |
| Allister | Y-yeah... It's me who's in charge of it... |
| Hilbert | What? So you're here as part of Lear's big plan? |
| Allister | That's correct... Lear approached us... M-me and Gengar... For the Midnight Spookfest... He wanted us to...to play a part in it... N-nothing too scary... Just enough to make it fun for the participants and the ghost Pokémon... I was really excited...to do something n-nice for all the ghost Pokémon... And I... I wasn't really paying attention...and I lost my mask somewhere along the way... I've got loads of spares... Spare masks, I mean. B-but I couldn't leave to go and get them... |
| Hilbert | Why couldn't you leave? |
| Allister | I'm... I'm afraid...to show my face to other people without my mask on... |
| Morty | I see... With all the participants making their way to this room, you were bound to run into someone. And then, even if you did make it safely to your mask storage, you may have found it empty. I think someone might have mistaken your masks for party decorations... We saw a bunch of them hanging up on the walls. |
| Allister | N-no way... |
| Caitlin | That reminds me, is this Gengar your partner Pokémon? |
| Allister | Y-yeah... Gengar could tell how frightened I was to leave this room... So I think he ran off with the other ghost Pokémon t-to chase away all the participants. |
| Hilbert | So THAT'S why all the ghost Pokémon have been acting so aggressive toward us... |
| Allister | D-don't blame the ghost Pokémon! It's not their fault... They were doing it for my sake... Please don't hate them... |
| Caitlin | Oh, I could never hate them. In fact, what they did for you was so kind... I may love them even more now. |
| Morty | Yeah. I think I understand why things went the way they did tonight. My partner and I got some excellent training out of it, so I can't complain. However...I think you may have inadvertently given the other participants quite a scare. |
| Allister | Eep... I was afraid of that... |
| Morty | So now we need to work extra hard to show them all how wonderful ghost Pokémon can be! |
| Allister | Huh? Er...what do you mean? |
| Morty | I mean this party isn't over yet! |
| Allister | Let's all have fun together!: You want me...to join the party? Let's meet back up with everyone!: You want me...to go with you? |
| Allister | Er... I wanted to say, I... I didn't mean to... |
| Acerola | What? Tonight's been sooo much fun! |
| Allister | Huh? |
| Lear | No need to apologize! We're all aware of what happened. |
| Darach | Young <player> and the others explained it to us before you arrived. We've all been waiting for you and the ghost Pokémon to grace us with your presence! |
| Allister | Oh... I... Thank you for doing that, <player>... |
| Lear | Now, then! With that small kerfuffle out of the way, let the party continue! Go on and enjoy the rest of the Midnight Spookfest with everyone! |
| Acerola | Woo-hoo! Allister, bring the ghost Pokémon over here! |
| Hilbert | Come on, Allister! I want to introduce you to everyone! |
| Allister | R-right... |
| Morty | Was what you said to Allister earlier true? That you love ghost Pokémon even more now? |
| Caitlin | Of course it was. I always speak from my heart. I want to learn so much more about ghost Pokémon and the people that train them. |
| Morty | Their Trainers, too? |
| Caitlin | Yes. Having become one myself, nothing would make me happier. |
| Morty | I see... I'm glad to hear that. Welcome to the wonderful world of ghost Pokémon, Caitlin! |
| Caitlin | There's just one thing this party is missing... Dancing. |
| Morty | Dancing? I, uh... I’ve never been much of a dancer... |
| Caitlin | Come now—what's a party without a little dancing? Let's all go and dance together. The key is to not overthink it. All that matters is having a good time with your Pokémon. Just make sure your dancing isn't so yawn-inducing that I grow bored. *giggle* |

| Lusamine | This is the second time I’m coming face-to-face with a Necrozma. But I won't make the same mistakes as last time! |
- A Striking Familiarity
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Masked Man (1) | Heh heh heh... Today's our lucky day! A Legendary Pokémon came right to us! |
| Masked Man (2) | That's odd... It's not even looking at us. It's like we're not even on its radar. |
| Masked Man (1) | Doesn't matter! Once we capture it, it's ours! Get it! |
| Masked Man (1) | Hahaha! Nice! Keep wearing it down! |
| Masked Man (2) | You're gonna be our Pokémon now! |
| Masked Man (1) | Gwahahaha! Time for the finishing blow! |
| Masked Man (2) | Aaaaaaaah! |
| Masked Woman | It's so bright! |
| Masked Man (1) | Drat! And we were so close, too! |
| Lusamine | I recognize that light... I see. That must mean one has come to Pasio, too. Necrozma... |
- Dark Tidings
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Kukui | So, you may have heard the rumors already... Apparently, a Legendary Pokémon, Necrozma, is here on Pasio. |
| Lillie | Necrozma?! |
| Kukui | Oh, yeah. You've met one before, haven't you, Lillie? |
| Lillie | Yes... With my mother. |
| Hau | Lusamine told me about it, too! So I have an idea of what it is! Apparently, Necrozma is a vicious Pokémon that came from another world in ancient times! |
| Kukui | And it seems this Necrozma appeared in the form it takes when it's absorbing power from Solgaleo. Rumors about it appearing on Pasio have spread like wildfire. Word is some bad folks are starting to act on those rumors, too! |
| Lillie | Oh, no... They must want to capture it! |
| Kukui | Honestly, I wouldn't mind if this Necrozma formed a sync pair with someone, if that's what it really wants. But if other Trainers are trying to force it, I can't stand by and watch, yeah. Necrozma is a dangerous Pokémon. It can absorb enough light to send an entire world into complete darkness. And it can also open up Ultra Wormholes, which is also scary because we could all get lost in other worlds. |
| Lillie | Yes, Necrozma can be very dangerous. But I don't think it actually means any harm. Necrozma's suffering, too. That's why I'd like to make sure that, if it does pair up with someone, it's with a Trainer whose heart is in the right place! |
| Kukui | Agreed. |
| Hau | Me too! If Necrozma's in trouble, I wanna help it out! |
| Kukui | I hope Necrozma meets more Trainers like you! That's actually why I called you here today. Because if we don't do this the right way, things could get pretty hairy. |
| Lillie | Let's head out soon, then! Let's save Necrozma!: We can do it if we work together and give it our all! I'll help you out, too!: Thanks, <player>! |
| Hau | Yeah! As long as we're all together, it'll work out in the end! |
| Lillie | I think so, too! Let's find Necrozma as soon as possible! |
- Encroaching Darkness
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Gladion | I hear a Necrozma is on Pasio now. |
| Lusamine | Yes, I am aware. |
| Gladion | So you already knew. Guess I should have seen that coming. It's the same as last time... We were on an artificial island when we faced a Necrozma before. |
| Lusamine | ... ... ... Pasio is an artificial island rich in nature, which makes it the perfect environment for injured Pokémon to recuperate. It's just as splendid as Aether Paradise. If anything were to happen to this beautiful island... Or if this Necrozma were hurt and suffering somewhere all by itself... I would find that most unacceptable. |
| Gladion | ... ... ... |
| Lusamine | I made many mistakes the last time I encountered a Necrozma. I shouldn't have rejected it. I could have tried to find a way for us to work together. I'll be sure not to make the same mistakes with this one. |
| Gladion | Yeah... I'll do everything I can to help you out, too. |
| Lillie | OK, team! Let's find Necrozma! |
| Hau | Uh...Lillie? I know you're excited and all, but do you even know where Necrozma is? |
| Lillie | The last time I saw Necrozma, it was at the altar just past Vast Poni Canyon. If we search for a similar place here on Pasio, I think that's where we might find it! |
| Hau | Oh, that makes sense! That means we should head to the top of a tall mountain, huh. |
| Lillie | Yup! Exactly! |
| ??? | No way! How could you?! |
| Hau | Uh-oh! Is that an argument I hear? |
| Lillie | Let's check it out! |
| Lillie | What's going on here? |
| Selene | Oh, Lillie! Hau! And <player>, too! |
| Elio | These Team Break members say they saw Necrozma! |
| Lillie | What?! Really?! |
| Elio | They tried to capture it, but apparently it got away. |
| Masked Man (1) | It was looking pretty run-down by the time we ran into it, so I figured it'd be easy to capture! Too bad it ran away. And we were so close, too! |
| Masked Man (2) | We won't let that happen next time. |
| Lillie | Why were you trying to capture Necrozma? |
| Masked Man (1) | Well, obviously we're gonna use it as a tool to capture even more Pokémon! |
| Elio | You're only thinking about yourselves?! Don't you know that Necrozma is wandering around because it's in pain? If you try to control it by force, you'll only make things worse! |
| Masked Man (1) | Pfft. I don't give a Rattata's tail about a Pokémon's feelings! Hm? What're you looking at me like that for? |
| Lillie | Don't you dare hurt Necrozma! |
| Masked Woman | Spunky little girl, aren't ya. You're trying to act all heroic, but you're just saying that because you want Necrozma all for yourself! |
| Lillie | No, I don't! I just can't stand it when people hurt Pokémon for selfish reasons! Lunala! If you're going to keep bothering Necrozma, then I'll take you on! |
| Masked Woman | What IS that thing? |
| Masked Man | OK, OK! Fine, we won't touch it! I promise! |
| Elio | ... ... ...! |
| Lillie | Necrozma? |
| Masked Man (1) | ... ... ... What're you all just standing there for? Attack it already! |
| Lillie | That's not what you promised just now! |
| Masked Man (1) | Like I care! Attack! |
| Masked Man (1) | Aaaaaaaah! |
| Elio | This is bad! Necrozma looks really mad that it was attacked! |
| Lillie | Please calm down, Necrozma! If you lose control here, you'll hurt a lot of people and Pokémon! |
| Masked Woman | It disappeared! |
| Hau | Oh! Is that what I think it is? |
| Lillie | Yes... An Ultra Wormhole! What's that?: It's a tear in space that connects different worlds. I never thought I'd see one here on Pasio. I may have heard of that...: I'm sure you have... Though, I never thought I'd see one here on Pasio. |
| Camper | Whoa! What's going on?! |
| Scientist | Unfathomable! Why'd it go dark all of a sudden? |
| Lillie | This is exactly the same as last time... All light is disappearing from the sky! |
- Confronting the Darkness
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Gladion | ... ... ...! |
| Lusamine | Is that... |
| Hiker | What's happening?! |
| Ace Trainer | I heard about this before from a friend of mine from Alola! They said this is caused by a Pokémon called Necrozma! |
| Hiker | So this Necrozma is the troublemaker behind all of this? |
| Pokémon Ranger | If that's so, let's take it down! |
| Hiker | Yeah! We should stop it right away! |
| Lusamine | Calm down, all of you! I understand you may not have been ready for this, but it's important to stay calm! |
| Ace Trainer | B-but... |
| Lusamine | There, there. There's nothing to worry about. I'll fix everything soon. That's my duty as the President of the Aether Foundation. |
| ??? | Mother! |
| Lusamine | What's wrong, dear? |
| Lillie | Necrozma showed up where we were out of the blue! It opened up an Ultra Wormhole and disappeared! Right after that, all the light got sucked out of the sky! |
| Lusamine | So you ran here to tell me in person? |
| Lillie | No, not just that. I came to help you stop Necrozma! |
| Lusamine | I see... You've become so reliable, Lillie. |
| Lillie | Well, I am your daughter, after all! |
| Lusamine | ... ... ... OK. Let's fight together. Did anything strange happen before Necrozma showed itself to you? |
| Lillie | Now that you mention it, I think my sync stone might've lit up! |
| Lusamine | I knew it. |
| Lillie | What do you mean? |
| Lusamine | Necrozma is still searching for light, even after taking in Solgaleo. I think the reason why Necrozma came to you is because you have Lunala. Your feelings must have resonated strongly and made your sync stone glow. I believe Necrozma was drawn to that light. |
| Lillie | So, in order to find Necrozma again... |
| Lusamine | Mm-hm. You and Lunala will play a big part in that. |
| Gladion | Hau and the others are helping people evacuate the area so nobody gets hurt. Now's our opportunity to get the ball rolling. |
| Lillie | OK! |
| Lusamine | Actually, there are two ways we can stop Necrozma. |
| Lillie | Huh? |
| Lusamine | The first is to use Lunala's light to lure it here and work together to stop it. The other way is to have Lunala open up an Ultra Wormhole... and have one person go by themselves to face Necrozma alone. |
| Lillie | ... ... ... |
| Gladion | Just like last time... |
| Lusamine | But seeing the looks on your faces, I know I've chosen the right course of action this time. We can put a stop to Necrozma's rage if we all join forces! Let's help Necrozma together—as a family!' |
| Gladion | Yeah. |
| Lillie | Yes, mother! |
| Lusamine | Listen, Lillie. What you need to do now is wish from the bottom of your heart to save Necrozma. Your love will become the light that brings Necrozma back to us. |
| Lillie | Please, Necrozma... Could you give us—give humans—another chance? We won't let anything hurt you...so would you please come out? |
| Lillie | It worked! |
| Lusamine | We finally meet, Necrozma. |
- A Love that Conquers All
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Gladion | It looks pretty worked up. |
| Lillie | Necrozma wasn't in great shape when it came to Pasio in the first place. And then Team Break attacked it, so it hasn't been able to heal its wounds. |
| Gladion | We can't talk to it like this. Should we try to calm it down with a battle? |
| Lusamine | No, dear. If we try to force it to submit to us, it will just fight back. Much like how people do. |
| Gladion | ... ... ... |
| Lusamine | Love isn't about using oppressive force. True love means facing the other party head on and showing them your honest feelings. I learned that from a certain Trainer I know. |
| Lillie | Mother! I'll help y— |
| Gladion | Wait, Lillie. Mom'll be fine. |
| Lillie | ... ... ... OK! I'll stay here with you, Gladion! |
| Gladion | Heh. |
| Lusamine | Clefable, please heal Necrozma's wounds. Necrozma... You are struggling because you can't find the light you seek. And now you're causing pain to those around you. I'm here to stop you from doing that. I've come to protect my beloved world, Pokémon, and children...but I've also come to protect you. Oh, you wish to see my power? Perhaps you'd like to test me to see if I am worthy of your trust. |
| Lusamine | Very well. I'll take you on. I'll set you free from your pain right away... with all the love my heart can muster! |
| Lillie | That outfit looks great, mother! And it matches Necrozma perfectly! |
| Lusamine | Is that so? Thank you, darling. Really, it's thanks to all your help that Necrozma and I are now a sync pair. |
| Lillie | I'm so glad to hear that! And I'm glad you didn't only rely on yourself this time...that you asked us for help, too! |
| Lusamine | We've both changed quite a bit. |
| Lillie | Hehe! |
| Lusamine | By the way...I received this item, but we ended up not using it. |
| Lillie | What does it do? |
| Lusamine | A researcher gave it to me. Apparently, it can be used to separate or fuse Necrozma and Solgaleo. |
| Lillie | Really? I didn't know there was an item that can do that! I guess that means they were able to understand Necrozma's power with science! |
| Lusamine | Yes. I considered using this, but... |
| Lillie | Does Solgaleo really want to be separated from Necrozma? |
| Lusamine | It doesn't seem like Necrozma or Solgaleo are suffering in their current state. I suppose now that they have the light of our sync stone, they're able to coexist peacefully. |
| Lillie | I don't think that's the only reason. Mother's heart is full of light right now. I think that's why Necrozma decided to partner up with her! That's probably it!: Yes, absolutely! I think so, too!: Yup! That's what I believe! |
| Lusamine | Necrozma, Solgaleo...I look forward to working together with you. My goal is to help all Pokémon that are suffering or in pain, just like you were. Will you lend me your power when it's time to do that? *chuckle* Thank you. Hm? What's the matter, Necrozma? Do you want to have a battle with them? |
| Lillie | I'd love to! You too, right, Lunala? |
| Lusamine | I never thought you and Lunala would be our first opponents. Very well. We'll show you what we can do! |
| Lusamine | Lillie! Lunala! Are you ready for us? |
| Lillie | We'll give this everything we've got! Let's go, Lunala! |
| Lusamine | Show them our love, Necrozma! Unleash your power to protect our beloved world...and all the people and Pokémon within it! |

| Leon | It's winter soiree time! |
| Nessa | This year, it's our job to deliver everyone's presents! |
| Leon | I have to live up to my nickname, the unbeatable Leon, and make sure everything is delivered perfectly! |
| Nessa | What kind of present would you like, Leon? |
| Leon | Hm... What I want the most is to see everyone with champion smiles on their faces! |
- 'Tis the Season!

|---|---|
| Leon | <player>! It's almost time for the winter soiree! I hope you're excited! This year, we'll make sure everyone's presents get delivered properly. |
| Nessa | I'm known to lose myself in my work, but that aside...Leon, haven't you been overworking yourself lately? You do know that you could enjoy these events every so often instead of helping out, right? |
| Leon | Nonsense! As long as there are people expecting my appearance, it's my job to be there for them! |
| Nessa | I suppose so. But we haven't had the chance to hang out with Sonia lately, either... Of course, part of that's because she's so busy with all her research. But...I'm just a little worried about that. |
- A Lonely Winter
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Sonia | Oh, wow! Look at all that snow! Isn't it perfect for the winter soiree? The Trainers and Pokémon here sure have been in high spirits today! What about you, Sonia?: Oh, me? I've been looking forward to today, too! You look pretty happy too, Sonia!: Oh, you can tell? Actually, I was really looking forward to today. You may already know this, but Leon and I are childhood friends. We also met Nessa during our Gym Challenge. We all traveled around Galar at the same time, so it's like we grew up together, really. But we've all been too busy to hang out lately... So I'm looking forward to seeing them today! I was so excited that I left work earlier than usual! |
| Lear | OK! I believe we're ready! Let the winter soiree begin! Rejoice in the festivities and Pokémon battles! As for the presents, these sync pairs will be delivering our gifts this year! |
| Leon | Delivering gifts to everyone on this large island is an important job! I'll be sure to deliver everything safely and bring a smile to everyone's faces! I hope you're all looking forward to it! |
| Sonia | Wait, what? I didn't hear about this! |
| Leon | Hm? What do you mean? |
| Sonia | I didn't know you two were going to be delivering presents for the winter soiree! |
| Nessa | Didn't you get the message on your Poryphone? Or maybe you were so engrossed in your research that you didn't have time to read it? |
| Sonia | Oh! Actually, now that you say that... |
| Nessa | That's exactly what happened, huh. |
| Leon | And we didn't have enough time to tell you in person, either... |
| Sonia | I suppose that can't be helped. We're all working so hard to make our dreams come true, after all. It's a good thing to be busy with work, especially if it's something you like! I guess it just didn't work out this time. |
| Nessa | Sonia... |
| Leon | What's wrong, Calyrex? Did you want to get started on delivering presents already? |
| Nessa | Yeah, I suppose we should get a move on! See you later, OK, Sonia? |
| Sonia | Yeah! Be careful out there! |
| Sonia | *sigh* <player>... Looks like I haven't got any plans today after all. And you know what? There's loads of work to get done, so maybe I should just go home already— Whoa! What's up with you all of a sudden, Yamper? Do you wanna play? You're loving the snow, huh. Why don't we go for a nice walk, then? |
- Nessa's Memories
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| ??? | Sonia. |
| Sonia | Nessa? I thought you were still out delivering all those presents. |
| Nessa | Yup, I'm still working on that. But don't forget that you get a present, too! |
| Sonia | Wow, thanks! Good luck on delivering the rest of them! |
| Nessa | Say...do you have any plans after this? |
| Sonia | Me? Well, I've still got a lot of research to do, so I was thinking of calling it a day... |
| Nessa | I thought you might say that. But I was really hoping to hang out with you and Leon today. |
| Sonia | I...I'd like to do that, too! But since you're both busy today, I figured it'd be best not to get in the way... To tell you the truth, I actually am feeling kind of lonely... Because it feels like we all keep drifting further apart. |
| Nessa | Um... Actually, I've got a little something for you, too. |
| Sonia | Oh, wow! Is this what I think it is? |
| Nessa | You remember these Lumiose Galettes? |
| Sonia | Of course I do! Every time I lost at Motostoke Gym, we'd head over to the Battle Café, and I'd ask you and Leon for advice! We really ate a lot of these, come to think of it! |
| Nessa | I was hoping we could share this one at the winter soiree! With Leon too, of course! Also, we still haven't celebrated you becoming a professor yet! As your best friend, you've got to let me do at least that much, right? |
| Sonia | Nessa... Thanks! Let's eat it together, then! By the way...what happened to your partner, Eiscue? |
| Nessa | Oh, he's over there. |
| Nessa | Heeey! We're leaving soon, OK? |
| Sonia | Um... Was Eiscue just fishing with the hair on his head? |
| Nessa | Uh-huh. Once he starts, he won't budge from that spot, so I figured I'd come talk to you for a bit. |
| Sonia | It's so silly, because there aren't any wild Pokémon to fish for here on Pasio! |
| Nessa | I told him that myself, but he's so stubborn... |
| Sonia | Really, you're the one saying that, now? Didn't you do the exact same thing before, too? |
| Nessa | Yeah, I remember that! I kept trying to fish in a spot you told me didn't have any Pokémon! And in the end, I didn't get a single bite. I guess I should've listened to a future Pokémon Professor, huh. Y'know...to be honest, I've been worried about some things, too. I decided that I was going to be equally invested in both modeling and being a Pokémon Trainer. But in the Galar Gym Challenge, my Gym is the second that challengers visit...which means I'm still not as strong as I'd hoped. I still can't seem to beat Leon...and I have to admit, I felt some pressure when I heard you'd already became a Pokémon Professor! |
| Sonia | I see... |
| Nessa | But right now on Pasio, I'm getting exposure to all sorts of Trainers and experiences! There's other models like Elesa... and Lana likes fishing, too, so we get along quite well. |
| Sonia | I totally get that! There's a lot of veteran Pokémon Professors here on Pasio, too! Ever since I got here, I feel like I'm getting back in the groove for battling again! |
| Nessa | Oh, really? In that case, I'd love to challenge you to a match as well. Especially with my new partner! |
| Sonia | Sure! Once things calm down a bit more, let's have ourselves a nice battle! |
| Sawyer | Hm... Where on Pasio has Leon gone to deliver those presents? I hope I can find him so I can give him these extra deliveries! |
- Champion Responsibility
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Leon | Come on, Calyrex! No time to rest—let's deliver the next present! You all right there, mate? I guess we are overdue for a break with how fast we were going. Why don't we head back to where everyone else is? |
| ??? | There you are! |
| Sawyer | No wonder I couldn't find you! |
| Leon | I thought I heard someone calling out for me! It's my job as Champion to make an appearance whenever I'm called! Hm? What's wrong, Calyrex? Excited about something? |
| Sawyer | That's a fine crown you've got there. Perhaps one day the young master will also have one, too... Hm? Wha— Bwah?! |
| Sawyer | Mlerrrgh... |
| Leon | A-are you OK, Sawyer? Calyrex? Did you do this? |
| Sawyer? | Ah, yes. A sturdy body, just as I expected. I hope he doesn't mind that I make use of it for the time being. |
| Leon | Is this voice...Calyrex? |
| Calyrex | Verily. I must say that I am impressed at your composure in this situation... Though I suppose that's indeed why you are a Champion. I have borrowed this man's body in order to have a word with you in person...so to speak. Your strength is befitting of a king. However, I do see how such strength may perhaps become a burden to you. |
| Leon | What do you mean? |
| Calyrex | You always force yourself to live up to the expectations of those around you...and you busy yourself with fulfilling these obligations. This is a remarkable quality of yours—indeed, it is perhaps the reason why you've been a crowned Champion for as long as you have. However, the further you push yourself to greater heights, the harder others will struggle to keep up with you. |
| Leon | ... ... ... |
| Calyrex | You should reflect on this...as once something precious has been lost, it may be too late to get it back. By isolating yourself, you may be making others lonely. It takes a significant amount of time and effort to regain what has once been lost. And remember, it is also possible that something lost may never return. |
| Leon | Hm... I see your point. Thanks, Calyrex! You really have been looking out for us all this time, haven't you. It was never my intention to make anyone sad or lonely. But that said, I am a Champion. No matter what happens, that'll never change. So making time for the people important to me is also my duty as Champion! Not to worry. I was thinking of ways to make it work out, too. |
| Calyrex | I did notice that you seemed to be in a hurry while delivering your presents. If that is so... Very well. I will do my best to support you in this endeavor. |
| Sawyer | Bwah?! Did I just nod off? Have I been working too much? Sorry 'bout that, Leon. But anyway, could you help us deliver these extra presents, too? I'll see you around. |
| Leon | OK. Time to show everyone how the unbeatable Leon gets the job done! |
- Friends to the End

| Bea | Thank you for joining me today, Sonia. It's a bit embarrassing to eat sweets all by myself... |
| Sonia | I don't think it's anything to be embarrassed about, but either way, glad I could help! I'm pretty sure most people just thought I roped you into joining me for some dessert, anyway! |
| Bea | I suppose so! |
| Sonia | ... ... ... |
| Bea | Um... If you don't mind me asking, are you thinking about Leon and Nessa? |
| Sonia | Huh?! Um, no, it's nothing like that... |
| Bea | Once they're done delivering presents, you have plans to meet up with them, right? Don't worry. This is just my intuition speaking, but I'm sure they'll make it in time. |
| Sonia | Bea... |
| ??? | Sorry to keep you waiting, Sonia! |
| Sonia | L-Leon? You've finished delivering all those presents already? |
| Leon | Yeah! Thanks to Calyrex pitching in to help, we've finished in record time! After all, today's a rare chance for all of us to be together! And...well, I've also got this for you. |
| Sonia | Oh my gosh! A new lab coat?! |
| Leon | I wasn't sure what to get you, but I figured this is something you'll definitely need! Sorry it's late, but congrats on your promotion to Pokémon Professor, Sonia! And also...thanks for always helping me out! |
| Sonia | Whoa, what's all this about all of a sudden? You've never done anything like this before! |
| Leon | I was thinking of waiting until things calmed down a bit for you, but the way things are going, that doesn't seem likely! So it ended up becoming a winter soiree gift instead, but... You really always helped me out, so I wanted to make sure I could give this to you in person! |
| Sonia | Oh...thank you, Leon! This is so thoughtful. We've been busy and haven't been able to hang out lately, but I'm so glad nothing has changed! I...I was so worried! |
| Nessa | What, nothing for us? |
| Leon | Of course I've got presents for you, too! Every Galar Trainer deserves a little something for the hard work you all do! |
| Nessa | Why don't we grab a table and have ourselves a nice, long chat over some tea? We could reminisce about all of the unbeatable Leon's rookie mistakes from back when he was still a bright-eyed Gym Challenger! |
