In the core series games

Pokémon Sun and Moon

Battle Royal Dome

"You were on fire during that battle. I hope you bring that fire with you and burn up my trial."

"The name's Kiawe, the Fire captain. You can get to Wela Volcano Park from Route 7. I'll be waiting on the peak. If you plan to see your island challenge through to the end, climb to the top with your strongest team!"

Wela Volcano Park

"I am Kiawe. My Marowak and I are students of the ancient dances that have been passed down in Alola for generations."

"The trial of Kiawe... You will find that it is a bit different than the trials you have faced to this point, but of course, you will attempt it, right?"

Not right now:

Of course!: "My trial will test your powers of observation! There will be a dance...and then another. Your task will be to find the difference between the two. Begin!"

"Watch carefully and memorize this dance."

"What was different from the previous dance?"

Show me again!: Both of the dances will play again.

The left/right Marowak: "Astounding! It is astounding how wrong you are! Come, Marowak!"

• After defeating the Marowak (wrong answers)

"When you answer incorrectly, my Marowak grow so enraged that they cannot help but attack. Watch once more, carefully this time!"

The middle Marowak: "B-but how?! That was truly spectacular! And to add to the spectacle... Come, Marowak!"

• After defeating the Marowak (correct answer)

"Marowak was so pleased by your right answer that it simply had to battle you!"

"Onward to the second dance!"

"Watch carefully and memorize this dance."

"What was different from the previous dance?"

Show me again!: Both of the dances will play again.

The left/middle/right Marowak: "Astounding! It is astounding how wrong you are! Come, Marowak!"

• After defeating the Marowak (wrong answers)

"When you answer incorrectly, my Marowak grow so enraged that they cannot help but attack. Watch once more, carefully this time!"

The Hiker: "B-but how?! That was truly spectacular! And to add to the spectacle... Come, my fine Hiker!"

• After defeating the Hiker (correct answer)

"My Hiker friend was so pleased by your right answer that he simply had to battle you!"

"Onward...to the final dance!"

"Watch carefully and memorize this dance."

"What was different from the previous dance?"

Show me again!: Both of the dances will play again.

Regardless of the remaining choices: "B-but how?! That was truly spectacular! And to add to the spectacle... Come, Totem Pokémon!"

• After defeating Totem Salazzle

"Whoa! S-spectacular! With your keen observations, you were able to see even fine differences in our dances! And you defeated the Totem Pokémon with such ease!"

"The Totem Pokémon was carrying a Firium Z. It is yours now."

"This is how you use the Fire-type Z-Power!"

"Thank you, my dear Marowak!"

"For when you meet a Pokémon that you would like to make your companion, take these!"

"What's more! You may now use the Ride Pokémon Charizard. Charizard will lend you his strength, and you will be able to go anywhere you have been in an instant."

"The Firium Z...you should show it to the Trial Guide outside the captain's barricade at the bottom of the mountain. It is time for us to return to our dance. The feelings of the Alolan people and our Pokémon, and the true nature of Z-Power... The answers lie in our dance! And so we must dance on!"

Lush Jungle

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"I've brought a Thick Club and a Rare Bone."

"Here you are."

"Yes, even back at Wela Volcano Park my vaunted Salazzle didn't stand a chance."

"If you insist."

"It tastes so good you might melt... No, wait. Is that my tongue that's melting...?"

"Uhhn!"

"S-SPICY!!!"

Paniola Town^S

"Yah! Hoo! Hee! Hyah!"

"Huhn?"

"Oh. It's you, <player>."

What are you doing?: "This is my fire dance training."

What was that all about?: "This is my torch staff. When I'm actually performing fire dances, I'll light it on fire."

"Whenever I have free time, I practice my dance as much as I can. It takes a lot of repetition to get good at it...just like Pokémon battles."

"Oh, look at the time!"

"Sorry, I know you just got here, but I have to go to the Thrifty Megamart. If you need to talk to me, come meet me there."

Royal Avenue^S

"I see..."

"It's all right. I know how hard you've worked to open this location after the guardian deity destroyed the previous one in anger. I understand, boss."

"Thank you very much."

"It's OK, boss. You can head back in now."

"How could this happen...?"

"Oh, it's you, <player>."

"If you don't mind, I'd like to battle you, <player>."

Just a minute: "I see... I'll be waiting for you here, then."

Of course: "I don't feel like dancing by myself right now..."

• Upon being defeated

"...I can't beat you if I keep my troubles to myself."

• After being defeated

"So strong... I should've known. You did clear my trial, after all. By the way, did you overhear what we were just talking about?"

What are you talking about?: "You're too considerate, <player>."

Yeah, kind of...: "<Player>. Yes, of course you did..."

"My dream is to become a professional fire dancer. I've been saving up forever to go study dance abroad. But I was just laid off from my part-time job. It seems like nothing ever goes right..."

"Sorry. I didn't mean to trouble you with my problems, <player>. You're so easy to talk to, though. I feel much better after talking with you. Thank you for being there. I'll be going then. Until we meet again, <player>!"

"If you plan to see your island challenge through to the end, climb to the top with your strongest team!"

Wela Volcano Park

"I am Kiawe."

"My Marowak and I are students of the ancient dances that have been passed down in Alola for generations."

"The trial of Kiawe... You will find that it is a bit different than the trials you have faced to this point, but of course, you will attempt it, right?"

• After losing to Marowak or Hiker and returning

"Well, <player>, it looks like you have failed my trial."

"In my trial several Pokémon will appear, and you will indeed battle them. By carefully observing their dance, you can avoid unnecessary battles. Never forget that this is one way to approach the trial."

"The trial of Kiawe... You will find that it is a bit different than the trials you have faced to this point, but of course, you will attempt it, right?"

• After losing to Totem Marowak and returning

"Well, <player>, it looks like you have failed my trial."

"The Totem Pokémon Marowak is a Fire- and Ghost-type Pokémon. It has many weaknesses: Water, Rock, Ground, Dark, and even Ghost type."

"The trial of Kiawe... You will find that it is a bit different than the trials you have faced to this point, but of course, you will attempt it, right?"

• After defeating Totem Marowak

"Whoa! S-spectacular! With your keen observations, you were able to see even fine differences in our dances! And you defeated the Totem Pokémon with such ease!"

"The Totem Pokémon protected this Firium Z. Now it is yours."

"This is how you use the Fire-type Z-Power!"

"Thank you, my dear Marowak!"

"For when you meet a Pokémon that you would like to make your companion, take these!"

"What's more! You may now use the Ride Pokémon Charizard. Charizard will lend you his strength, and you will be able to go anywhere you have been in an instant."

"The Firium Z...you should show it to the Trial Guide outside the captain's barricade at the bottom of the mountain. It is time for us to return to our dance. The feelings of the Alolan people and our Pokémon, and the true nature of Z-Power... The answers lie in our dance! And so we must dance on!"

• During Mina's trial

"Thank you for filling in for me while I was away, my good Hiker."

"Yes... That's exactly the sort of intense training that made me who I am today."

"That's why I was thinking that you might be a good candidate to become the captain after me."

"Is that so?"

"You're here for Mina's trial, right? Would you like to burn in battle with me?"

Of course: "Being thrilled by an opponent's excitement... Nothing makes me want to battle more!"

Sounds painful: "B-but why?!"

• Upon being defeated

"Not enough dancing!"

• After being defeated

"Astounding!"

• After defeating Hiker David

"My Hiker friend was so pleased by your right answer that he simply had to battle you!"

"<player>, you were spectacular! You were so spectacular that I will give you this flaming-hot Red Petal!"

"The energy that burns through Wela Volcano burns through us as well! If you're hoping to complete Mina's trial, you should make for Hokulani Observatory next. Since you're here, shall we go together?"

Yes please: "Then, let's be gone in a flash!"

No thanks: "I see. Come talk to me again if you do want to go to the observatory together later."

Mount Hokulani

"Mount Hokulani is only a stone's throw away when Charizard is one of your Ride Pokémon!"

"Give my regards to Sophocles, <player>."

Lush Jungle

• If spoken to while searching for Honey

"People say Pokémon are lured in by flowers and gather around them."

"Watch out when you see a bunch of flowers if you don't want to get attacked!"

"These ingredients are important for this trial, but they're also very important to the Pokémon that live in Lush Jungle"

"This Thick Club I'm going to give to Mallow, too, was the result of serious effort on the part of my Marowak and I."

• If spoken to again while searching for Honey

"Mallow's trial... Let's hope she doesn't take things too far."

• After battling Totem Lurantis

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Kiawe

"So, what did you think of my fire dance?"

It was awesome!/You were on fire!: "Thank you! I'm glad to hear that!"

"But my dancing is still not where it needs to be."

"I have to keep practicing to master it."

"I see Marowak agrees with me."

"We've been dancing partners ever since we met, you know."

"Once I start practicing, Marowak just naturally starts to dance with me."

You must be great friends!: "Yeah, Marowak looks like he has a lot of fun when we dance together."

Marowak must be really into dancing!: "Yeah, Marowak always looks really serious when we dance together."

"It's all thanks to Marowak that I'm able to continue practicing every day without fail."

How so?/What did Marowak do?: "There was a time when I was in a bit of a slump in my role as a Captain."

"I felt like I had plateaued and couldn't improve my dance."

"I just didn't feel like dancing, and I couldn't even bring myself to start practicing. Then, Marowak approached me and passed me his torch."

"I felt that he was trying to cheer me up and let me know that he wanted to dance with me again."

So that's what happened!/And that's how you got over your slump?: "Yeah. At the time, I was dancing solely to deepen my understanding of the Alolan people and Pokémon."

"But thanks to Marowak, I realized that my reasons for dancing don't have to be that complicated."

"Maybe it's OK to dance because I want to dance with a friend."

I agree!/That's great!: "You think so, too, huh?"

"I promise that one day, we'll show you a dance even better than the one we just performed! Just like my grandpa used to!"

"But in order to do that, I need to practice even more."

"I know! Why don't we dance together, <player>?"

Of course!/Sure!: "Great! Let's turn up the heat!"
