In the core series games

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Mossui Town

• First encounter

"Sis! Look! There! There's one now!"

"Whoa... Way cool..."

"C-c'mon, Sis... You just wanna battle. Makin' this big fuss over nothing..."

"Aw man..."

• If the player defeats Carmine

"Wowzers! You went and beat my sis?!"

"B-but I... Wait up, Sis!"

• If the player loses against Carmine

"Wowzers! You're almost as strong as my sis!"

"B-but I... Wait up, Sis!"

• The next day, outside the community center

"I-I'm...Kieran..."

"R-right..."

• If talked to

"Aw man..."

• After the player talks to Carmine

"S-Sis! What're you tellin' him/her that for, dummy!"

"Aw man..."

"What?! W-wowzers, really? You don't mind?!"

"I-I got this!"

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "Wowzers... I can't believe this... I get to battle you! This is awesome!"

After the player first lands a super-effective move: "Oof, ehehe... I guess I got a lot of weaknesses..."

After the player first lands a critical hit: "Huh?! How'd that happen?! Aw man, even luck's on your side..."

Upon first using Yanma's Air Cutter: "You got this, Yanma! C-cut through the wind and show 'em what you've got!"

Upon first using Yanma's Bug Buzz: "You got this, Yanma! Buzz those wings!"

Upon being defeated: "Wowzers..."

• After battle

If the player won: "W-wowzers! You sure are strong, <player>!"

If the player lost: "That was some kinda battle! I bet you're something else when you're not holdin' back, <player>!"

"I dunno about that..."

"What?! No, Sis, don't—!"

"Well...no, but... Aw man..."

"U-um... So it looks like...we should probably start with the signboard at...Loyalty Plaza... That's out past the apple orchards on the west side of the village... It's close by. And I figure it might, um, make sense to...y'know...visit them all in order... I'll probably just get in your way if I stick too close, so I'll just...follow you from a safe distance!"

Loyalty Plaza

"That's the first signboard..."

"S-sorry, did I startle ya? I-I did mention that I'd hang back an' follow you here..."

"We're s'posed to read the signboard, right?"

"Oh, I already know the whole story, so...g-go ahead. You should check it out."

"The Loyal Three Monument is right over there... But don't you think the ogre in that folktale sounds kinda...cool?"

Yeah, it sure does!: "Right?! I knew you'd get it, <player>! It was up against three whole opponents at once, battling it out all by itself—wowzers, that's so cool!"

You think...?: "C'mon, it was all alone! The battle was three against one, but the ogre still managed to hold its own. That's way cool!"

"Oh... But I guess most people would just think an ogre like that is scary, huh? I don't think there's any reason to be afraid..."

"When I was little, I went up into the mountain so many times at night—all on my own—an' I never once met that ogre. Only scary thing that happened was the grown-ups givin' me a real earful about it..."

"Umm... So yeah, we're s'posed to take a photo in front of the signboard, right? I don't have a smartphone... Could you...?"

"That turned out great. You're even good at taking photos..."

Thanks!: "S-sorry... Not trying to butter you up or anythin'..."

You wanna try?: "Oh! No! I didn't mean— M-maybe...next time..."

"Y'know...I didn't wanna have to come do this whole school trip thing, but...well...it might actually be kinda fun..."

"I get to be out in nature around my hometown...and talk to you, <player>..."

"H-hey, if you want, maybe we could set up a picnic. Would you like a sandwich—?"

"Gyah! Wh-what is that thing?! Some kinda...kaiju or somethin'?!"

Regardless of choice: "It's called Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V? And you ride on it, huh...? I've never seen another Pokémon like this..."

"And it seriously comes out whenever it hears the word "sandwich"?"

"Never thought I'd actually get to meet such an awesome Pokémon."

"No wonder you're so strong, <player>... You're...you're special."

"So, the next—! Errr, we should go find the next signboard! It's on the grounds of Kitakami Hall. Um, Kitakami Hall is... Well, first double back to town from here, then there's this bridge you cross, and from there, you'll need to climb up the mountainside. I'll hang back for now an' meet you there later!"

Kitakami Hall

"That's the second signboard. Bit tricky to find, huh?"

"S-sorry... I'm followin' at a distance, so...I...I hope you can get used to me showing up like this."

"Now then, let's read the sign..."

"Did you read it...?"

"The masks the Loyal Three stole are kept over at Kitakami Hall. Everyone in town is scared of the ogre...but me? I really like it."

"It was strong...and cool...and it didn't even care when everyone shunned it... I've always wanted to be like that, ever since I was a kid."

"I want to be as cool as the ogre."

"My sis sorta ends up doin' everything for me...even when we're at school..."

"I...wanna try to get stronger. So I can do things for myself, you know? I'm gonna become someone people can rely on. Then, just maybe...I could be that ogre's friend."

"Oh! Um...right. Picture. We're s'posed to take a picture! You can take the next one, too, if you don't mind, <player>..."

"Phew. I knew it was the right call to let you handle it, <player>. Now, on to the next signboard..."

"Oh. And you know the mountain the stories say the ogre lives on? It's actually Oni Mountain. You can climb it from the stairs over there."

"If you wanted, we could...go see the ogre's home? Folks call it the Dreaded Den."

I wanna see it!: "Y-yes! I really...wanted you to see it for yourself, <player>!"

Hmm, I dunno...: "You don't have to if you don't wanna...but...I'd really like to show you it. You know?"

"So...if you keep climbing up, you'll reach the Infernal Pass. There's a sign before that... If you turn at the sign, you can get to the Dreaded Den."

"S-so I'll just head on up, then. Come along when you're ready. An' be careful!"

Dreaded Den

"<player>! Didja have trouble getting across that narrow path?"

"There it is...the Dreaded Den. This is s'posed to be the ogre's home... At least, that's what everyone says. I come here all the time, but I'VE never seen it..."

"Maybe a powerful ogre like that would only show up if it heard some kinda battle goin' on..."

"O-oh yeah... I think I've gotten a bit stronger since the last time we battled, so...y'know...if you wanted to...we could battle?"

Let's do it!: "All right! Though, uh, we should heal up our teams first."

I don't know...: "C'mon... I'll even heal up your Pokémon for you first, <player>. So please..."

"I'll give it all I got. I-I got this!"

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "Th-this time...I'll put up a good fight!"

After the player first lands a super-effective move: "But that was just one attack! Aw man, it did so much damage..."

After the player first lands a critical hit: "Whoa, that attack made my heart skip a beat..."

Upon first using Poliwhirl's Take Down: "Come on, Poliwhirl! Charge at 'em with everything you got!"

Upon being defeated: "Aw man... I lost..."

• After being defeated

"I knew it... You really are strong, <player>. How am I ever gonna be able to beat you? If the ogre saw that battle, I'm sure it'd be thinking "That kid's got real strength...""

"See, my school...Blueberry Academy... It's a school that specializes in teachin' the art of Pokémon battlin'. If I was as strong as you...maybe I could aim to be the best Trainer there."

"Let's go have a look at the ogre's den."

"Watch your head."

"See how dark it is in here? And cramped... Even the floor's all rough and uneven."

"Living all alone in a place like this would get pretty miserable, don't you think?"

"Poor ogre... We have plenty of room at our house. I would've totally let it stay with us..."

You're a sweet kid, Kieran: "N-no, I'm not! I've just...always liked the stories about the ogre, that's all..."

When can I move in?: "I don't know if we'd have room for the both of you, <player>..."

"B-but...if the ogre really did show up to stay at our place, I'm sure the whole town would freak."

"Whoa, no way... The sun's already gone down?"

"I guess we'll have to save the last signboard for tomorrow..."

"Oh! I almost forgot! Today's the first day of the Festival of Masks over at Kitakami Hall."

"It's this big event where everyone puts on masks and runs around celebratin'... I mean, it's not like you've gotta go or anything, but if you wanted to...y'know...check it out...well, it'd be fun."

Let's go together!: "Y-yeah! Why not!"

It does sound fun: "I, um...I can show you to it!"

"It'd be great to go together..."

"There's just a few things we'd have to get ready first, so we should swing by my house before heading to the festival. We live in the northwest corner of the village. It's...um...let's see, I could maybe draw a map..."

"Oh, your Rotom Phone has a map in it, huh? You want me to register it on your map? Yeah, I could give that a try..."

"Wowzers! It sure is handy having a map that shows you everything right there in your phone... I'm gonna ask if I can get a Rotom Phone someday too!"

"I'll be right behind you, if you wanna head to my family's place first. See you there!"

Mossui Town

• At his grandparents' house, on the first night of the Festival of Masks

"Grandpa! I'm home!"

"Oh, um... This is <player>... He's/She's part of the same school trip as me and Sis."

"What?! R-really?! We're friends? F-friends... I feel all tingly and funny hearing that... Ehehe..."

"Y...yeah! This is <player>."

"<player>, this is my grandma."

"Hear that? We get to dress up in jinbei! Yay!"

"Whoa..."

"<player> said...he'd/she'd go to the Festival of Masks with me..."

"What's it matter anyway! What're YOU doin' back here?!"

"Wait—Sis! You're such a cheater!"

"Sis, <player>'s here."

• After the player defeats Carmine

"I-it's OK, <player>... You can just wear my mask."

"Yeah, but—"

"Oof... Sorry, <player>... I know my sis seems kinda harsh, b-but she's really not all that bad... Actually, she was tearin' the shed apart, tryin' to find a third mask for you before you got there... O-oh, but, uh, don't tell her I told you that, <player>!"

"The Festival of Masks is held up at Kitakami Hall. W-we should probably get going..."

Kitakami Hall

"This is the Festival of Masks! Today's just the first day. It'll keep going for a while..."

"It's OK, <player>. Just ignore her..."

"Ow! You're steppin' on my toe, Sis!"

"Hehehe..."

"N-nothin'! I was just thinkin' it was funny that, like...you don't know anything about the ogre..."

"S-sorry..."

"Oh, look! They've got candy apples! Let's go check out the stalls!"

• If the player tries to leave the area

"H-heeey! Over here!"

• When talked to at the candy apple stand

"E-excuse me... Two candy apples, please..."

"Uh, here, <player>... You can have one."

Regardless of choice: "Grandma gave me some pocket money, so it's no big deal."

"I love candy apples. You don't get to eat 'em every day, y'know? Grandma always just makes us mochi as a snack... There's even a Pokémon in Kitakami that looks like a little ol' candy apple—didja know that?"

"Hey, let's check that out over there!"

• When talked to at the Ogre Oustin' counter

"Oh, you're gonna try it, <player>? I'll, uh...I'll cheer you on from...a safe distance..."

"Go get 'er, <player>!"

• After the player completes Ogre Oustin'

"N-no..."

"Ugh... Sorry she's causin' such a scene. Don't worry—I'll deal with her. Why don'tcha go wander around a bit in the meantime?"

• If talked to

"I'll deal with my sis. You go and explore for a bit, <player>."

• If talked to after finding Ogerpon

"I don't wanna pop the Ogre Balloons, but my sis keeps insistin' I do it..."

• After the player catches up to Ogerpon

"<player>! Sis! What're you guys doin' over here?"

"Wh-what? Why're you yellin' all of a sudden, Sis?"

"Huh. Oh, I get it. I bet you were makin' fun of me behind my back..."

"I'm just...gonna head back to the festival..."

• If talked to

"Had enough of the festival?"

No: "The festival isn't gonna end anytime soon. Don't overdo it, 'K?"

Yes: "Well then, guess we should head home. I'll walk you back to the community center."

Mossui Town

• The next day, at his grandparents' house

"Hey, <player>! G'mornin'!"

"Wanna go see the last signboard?"

"Seriously? He's/She's spending all his/her time with you... That's so unfair! You can be such a jerk..."

"Hmph!"

• Outside of Peachy's

"Oh, uh... H-hey, <player>. So, I...I was gonna ask. What were you and my sis just, uh...talkin' about?"

Regardless of choice: "Oh, I-I see..."

"S-so! About those signs! The last one's a bit of a hike away. It's in the Paradise Barrens on the other side of Oni Mountain. We'll need to head over the mountain and down toward the northwest... You go on ahead. I'll catch up."

"Why...why'd you lie to me...?"

Paradise Barrens

"These are the Paradise Barrens. Pretty lonely place, huh?"

"According to the old legends, the ogre used to be seen around here lots."

"Hey, before we check out the sign...could you...battle me...?"

Let's do it!: "'K, let me heal up our Pokémon"

I dunno...: "I promise I'll heal up your Pokémon and all, so please, <player>?"

"This time...I'll win!"

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "I...I wanna win! I wanna win, so...I got this!"

After the player first lands a super-effective move: "Ack, I shoulda thought things through! It...it wasn't supposed to go like this..."

After the player first lands a critical hit: "No! Oh no, I can't keep up..."

Upon sending out last Pokémon: "Why...why does it have to be like this? Why?"

Upon first using Dipplin's Syrup Bomb: "You got this, Dipplin! Get 'em all covered in syrup!"

Upon being defeated: "I-it's all...'cause I'm too weak..."

• After being defeated

"I lost..."

"It's because I'm weak... That's why I..."

"We should go check out the sign... Come on, let's get this over with."

"In the old days, everyone carried masks wherever they went. And...the one who made those masks was actually my great-great-great-grandpa's great-great-great-grandpa...or something."

Regardless of choice: "I mean, I don't think any of that stuff about the ogre stealing souls is true or anything, but... it is true that our family used to make masks"

"Our family... has a long line of mask makers. Even my gramps can make 'em."

"I even heard that the reason we hold the Festival of Masks is 'cause our ancestors came up with the idea."

"But I don't really like what they wrote on this sign here..."

"Just because the ogre seemed sorta scary, everyone got all afraid of it and drove it away from the village"

"But I'm pretty sure the ogre must've been lonely on its own."

"Left all alone like that... Treated like some kind of outcast..."

You're right: "You think so too...huh, <player>?"

Sorry...: "...For what?"

"Wanna take that last photo?"

"Well, we're all done with our assignment now."

"But I've gotta get stronger with my Pokémon..."

"...I'm gonna head home."

Mossui Town

• The next day, at his grandparents' house

"Mornin', Grandpa."

"Yeah, yeah. Do whatever you want, Sis."

"I got stuff to do, OK?"

Loyalty Plaza

"<player>..."

"You two knew, didn't you? You knew that the ogre wasn't the real bad guy in the stories..."

"The Loyal Three were the real bad guys, but the ogre's the one that gets treated like an outcast!"

"And you two did the same thing to me!"

"You treated ME like an outcast when you went an' met with the ogre!"

"You're no different than those villagers back then... You know how much I love the ogre! You acted like you didn't know anything, but you were laughing at me behind my back all along!"

"Liar! You're a LIAR!!!"

"<player>... Battle me. If you win, I'll give you back the mask."

"So c'mon... Battle me already!"

OK, I will: "OK... Let's do this, then."

Are you sure...?: "I...I need this battle."

"Get to your position. I'm not gonna hold anything back, you hear me!"

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "I know this isn't right, but...I can't just hand over the mask to you!"

After the player first lands a super-effective move: "I can come back from this! I got this... I got this!"

After the player first lands a critical hit: "What can't you do? You're like the hero in a story..."

After first landing a super-effective move on the player's Pokémon: "That got you good, huh? I can beat you, <player>... I WILL win!"

Upon first using Poliwrath's Hydro Pump: "I need to get this right... I'm gonna make sure to give the right commands!"

Upon first using Dipplin's Syrup Bomb: "Yes, got ’em! I just gotta keep up the momentum now!"

Upon being defeated: "Why...? Why can't I be as good as you..."

• After being defeated

"Aw...man... Aaaagh!"

"Owww..."

"Here. I promised."

"Say hi to the ogre for me."

"I'm goin' home."

Dreaded Den

"Ah—they ran away!"

"<player>... I... Uh..."

"A-about the mask. I just got so angry, and..."

"What I did was real dumb..."

"So... I'm sorry."

Regardless of choice: "Thanks, <player>..."

"It's really you... The real-life ogre... Wowzers... You're really something!"

"This is...for you, dear ogre."

"... ... ..."

"I don't think it'll take the mask if I'm the one giving it back. You should be the one to do it, <player>."

"... ... ..."

"Did those... Did those three Pokémon take the masks that were in Kitakami Hall?"

"I can come too?"

With Carmine: "We can do this!"

Reveler's Road

"I bet it doesn't wanna go into the village. The villagers did a pretty good job of chasin' it away back then, so..."

"D-do you think it'll be OK?"

"Looks like it understood that!"

Mossui Town

• If talked to

"I-I'm not big on goin' up and just talkin' to people, even if we're all from the same village..."

Reveler's Road

"... ... ..."

"OK, well, here's what I heard..."

"I'm...I'm not goin'."

"As long as <player>'s around, I'm sure Ogerpon will feel safe..."

"'Sides, I got things to do..."

"Sorry!"

Loyal Three battles*

"<player>! Sis!"

"Well, uh...I...I wanted to ask a favor..."

"I wanted you to come to the village. An' bring the ogre with you..."

But the villagers...: ""

Are you sure it's safe?: "You gotta trust me. It'll be OK. I promise..."

"Th-that's all I wanted to ask! Just come!"

Reveler's Road

"D-don't worry! It'll be fine!"

"I-I know you must be scared, Ogerpon, but I did my best... So...just trust me and come with me, OK?"

Mossui Town

"From now on, you can come to the village whenever you want...and you don't need to hide your face when you do!"

Dreaded Den

"Hey, hold up!"

"If it's not gonna stay here, then I... I wanna..."

"I want Ogerpon to come with me!"

"I know I'm bein' real selfish... But, <player>! Please! Let me battle you! I want to see which one of us should get to keep Ogerpon with them!"

"...I want to battle anyway."

"So let me know once you're ready."

• If talked to

"You ready to battle...?"

No: "... ... ..."

Yes: "Well then, let's get started..."

"Whoever wins gets to be Ogerpon's partner... So don't...don't you dare hold back!"

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "I know you're probably a better Trainer for Ogerpon, but I...I..."

After the player first lands a super-effective move: "You're not holding back... Thank you. But I won't hold back either!"

After the player first lands a critical hit: "Guess luck isn't on my side... But it doesn't matter—I got this!"

Upon first using Gliscor's Dual Wingbeat: "It doesn't matter how strong my opponent is... I gotta face 'em head on! Get 'em with your wings!"

Upon sending out last Pokémon: "It's not over yet! I...I'm tired of losing!"

Upon being defeated: "...Figures."

• After being defeated

"I knew I couldn't win. But I just couldn't give up..."

"I'm sorry..."

• In battle, watching the player fight Ogerpon

After the player first lands a critical hit: "You really are good, <player>... I'm no match."

• After the player catches Ogerpon

"Con...congratulations..."

Regardless of choice: "Yeah..."

"Why...why can't I be like you, <player>?"

"Uwaaaaaaaaah!"

Mossui Town

• In his room

"I need to become..."

"I need to become...a lot stronger."

"Stronger. Stronger! Stronger and stronger and stronger!"

"Just you wait, <player>..."
