• Hoenn TV's In Search of Trainers

Gabby: "Hi! Today I'm visiting an area near <place fought>. We're trying to spot some up-and-coming new talent in the field. Today, we turned our lens on the Trainer <player>. There's something about this Trainer that piqued our interest."

• For any battle after the first

"We've battled <player> before, but we can attest that the Trainer has most definitely improved from before. I knew we were onto someone special when we spotted this Trainer!"

"The best way to determine how strong a Trainer is… Well, the fastest way is to battle. And so we began our investigation! … … That's how we ended up in battle with <player>. In a dominating performance we were flattened, rolled up, and tossed aside! <player> is ruthlessly strong… Here's our impressions after having battled our featured Trainer.

• Scenario 1: Gabby and Ty were unable to land a successful attack

"...I lost confidence in myself as a result of our encounter. We were beaten before we could launch a single attack. Ohhh... Snivel... In spite of that, <player>'s battles are worth seeing. I recommend confident Trainers to challenge <player>."

• Scenario 2: Gabby and Ty were able to land a successful attack and none of the player's Pokémon fainted

"The combination of <final Pokémon 1> and <final Pokémon 2> was divine! The sight of them--<final Pokémon 1> and <final Pokémon 2>--selflessly supporting each other in the thick of battle… It was a marvelous sight to behold! <finishing move> was the move the Trainer used last in our battle. The move <finishing move> is <final Pokémon 1> and <final Pokémon 2>'s sign of friendship!"

• Scenario 3: At least one of the player's Pokémon fainted

"Honestly speaking, I thought that I might even be pretty good. While we did end up losing, we did have a hotly contested battle. But if you're struggling against me, you have a ways to go, <player>!"

• Scenario 4: The player used a healing item during battle

"<player> is adept at reading the opponent's actions. The timing of item usage was remarkably effective!"

• Scenario 5: The player tried to catch Gabby or Ty's Pokémon

"There's only one thing to be said. Don't you dare throw a Poké Ball during a Trainer battle! <player> is certainly strong, but has no clue about the basic rules. To our TV audience, I have a request. If you see <player>, please caution the Trainer!"

"After our battle, we asked <player> for a succinct summary. The Trainer replied, "<word>." <player>'s Pokémon <final Pokémon 1> and <final Pokémon 2>… And "<word>"… Mmm! That's deep! There's deep significance behind that quote! It's no surprise--a good Trainer has good things to say. That's all for today! See you all again on our next broadcast!"
