In the core series

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

Iron Island

• Entering

"...You are? OK, you're <player>. I'm Riley. I'm a Trainer, and yes, it is a bit odd that I would be training here. If you'd like, we could team up. The wild Pokémon here are restless.

"If your Pokémon get hurt, I'll heal them up."

• If talked to again

"Haha, I'd have to agree. People training here would be those with too much time on their hands."

"This used to be a fairly thriving ore mine once upon a time. I guess the steel ore's played out. There's only Pokémon here now."

"Have you met Byron? The Leader of Canalave Gym? He's asked me to become a Gym Leader, but there's his son Roark to consider."

"Imagine what it would be like for a Steel-type Pokémon user to battle a Steel type. Would that be like battling yourself, I wonder? I mean, it's a lot harder to defeat one's self than anyone else."

"What's going on here, though? The native Pokémon are restless... I don't like this... Let's hurry."

• If leaving before the quest is over

"...Are you going back? I'll be hanging around here. It would be good if you came back."

• Upon return

"Hi, <player>. Let's team up. The Pokémon seem to be restless."

"If your Pokémon get hurt, I'll heal them up."

• Before battling the Galactic Grunts

"I get it now. You're responsible for agitating the Pokémon. I don't care what good reason you may have, but I don't want you bringing any trouble into my mine."

"To share in all the joys and all the sorrows... That is how all the Trainers and Pokémon live in Sinnoh! I won't allow anyone to defy that code of ethics! Come on, <player>! This is one battle we can't lose!"

• When the Grunts are defeated

"Thanks. You really helped me out. Listen, I have a Pokémon Egg here. Would you take it with you?"

Yes (open party slot): "Thanks! I'd like you to show the Pokémon that's inside the Egg all sorts of new places. Spending time with you was very enjoyable. I intend to test my skills in other places from now on. Let's meet again! Take care on the way out."

Yes (full party): "Thank you... But you don't have room to take another Pokémon. All right, then. I'll wait here for you."

No: "I hope you'll accept it as a token of our friendship."

Pokémon Platinum

Iron Island

• Entrance

"...You are? OK, you're <player>. I'm Riley. I'm a Trainer, and yes, it is a bit odd that I would be training here. Anyway, it's always nice to meet another Trainer. Here's a gift."

• (Receiving HM04 without the Mine Badge)

"That Hidden Machine contains the move Strength. To use it out of battle, you need the Mine Badge from Canalave Gym."

• (Receiving HM04 with the Mine Badge)

"That Hidden Machine contains the move Strength. To use it out of battle, you need the Badge from Canalave Gym... Oh, never mind, you've already got the Mine Badge. My bad."

"I'll be training inside. You can join me if you'd like."

• Inside

• Upon approach inside

"<player>, I'm glad to see you here. If you don't mind, let's team up. The Pokémon seem to be restless."

"If your Pokémon get hurt, I'll heal them up."

• If talked to again

"Haha, I'd have to agree. People training here would be those with too much time on their hands."

"This used to be a fairly thriving ore mine once upon a time. I guess the steel ore's played out. There's only Pokémon here now."

The Battleground

• Before battle

"Hi. Long time, no see. If it's all right with you, I'd like to challenge you to a battle right now."

No: "Oh, all right. Then we'll wait till you're ready."

"That look you have... I take it you're ready for battle?"

Yes: "We're pulling out all the stops to put your Pokémon down."

• During battle

"Your team! I sense your strong aura!"

• When defeated

"At times we battle, and sometime we teamed up. It's great how Trainers can interact."

• After being defeated

"If I weren't on Iron Island then... If you hadn't arrived on Iron Island then... Perhaps we would have never met. Or, would we have met elsewhere?"

The Battleground (variant)

• Before battle

"You and I, we're both Trainers. Let's forego the small talk and proceed right to battle. That's my style!"

No: "All right, then. So, what've you got to tell me?"

"See? It just doesn't feel right if we don't battle, does it?"

Yes: "Battling is our way of greeting!"

• During battle

"Your team! I sense your strong aura!"

• When defeated

"At times we battle, and sometime we team up. It's great how Trainers can interact."

• After being defeated

"Know your enemy. If you know your opponent's Pokémon and what moves they use... If you have intelligence like that, your chances of winning are much improved."

"Sensing an opponent's aura allows you to gauge how powerful they are."

"Battling is a Trainer's way of greeting, after all!"

"At first, I was a bit panicked."

"I'd like to find them and battle."

• Special log-in conversation (generic)

"Oh, <player>! You came after all!"

"I could sense your and your partner Pokémon's auras from quite a ways away."

• Special log-in conversation (morning)

"It's time to wake up. If you have a will as strong as steel, it can even triumph over sleepiness."

• Special log-in conversation (afternoon)

"Are you eating a balanced diet? Make sure you don't miss any nutrients!"

• Special log-in conversation (evening)

"It's so dark already. If you're leaving for an adventure, watch your step carefully."
