Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Poco Path

"Why, that little..."

"What're you doing out here?!"

"I'm not talking to you two. You can shove off."

"Doesn't matter who my mom^S/dad^V is!"

"The real issue here is what in the world this Pokémon is doing out here! And what is with this form it's in?!"

"Well, yeah. As it should be. But it can't fight while it's like this. The form Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V takes in battle... That's its true form."

"You can't go in the lab. It's locked."

"I don't remember ever seeing you around. But given the uniform...you go to the academy too, do you?"

"Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V isn't the sort of Pokémon that any old trainer can hope to command. It's special."

"You think you're up to ordering Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V around? Then how 'bout I test your worthiness?"

Yes: "Heh! Well, look at you—quite the little go-getter!"

No: "I'm saying I want to test you. You can't just leave me hanging here!"

"I've been feeling all out of sorts, so I'm gonna use this battle to blast these doldrums away!"

In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "These memories are leaving a bad taste in my mouth—and I want it gone!"

Upon being defeated: "Seems like you know a thing or two about battle."

After battle

If the player won: "I guess I wasn't ever going to stand a chance using some Pokémon I'd only just caught..."

If the player lost: "Yeah, you're in serious trouble if you can't even beat someone like me. I'd be worried about my future, if I were you."

"But if you really think you can take Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V off my hands for me...you'll need this. It's the Poké Ball that brute's been kept in."

"Anyway, that thing's your problem now, not mine. Good luck."

Naranja Academy^S/Uva Academy^V

In the cafeteria

"Oh, hey! So we meet again. You remember me, right?"

Oh, from the lighthouse!: "Yeah, exactly! That's my little know-it-all buddy! Got a mind like a steel trap, eh?"

I don't think we've met...: "What?! Come on, I gave you Koraidon's Poké Ball^S/Miraidon's Poké Ball^V! Did I forget to introduce myself...? Well, the name's Arven."

"No need to tell me your name. <player>, right? Whole school seems to be talking about you. The new kid who showed up with the president of the student council."

"I normally wouldn't even bother showing up for class, but I came all the way to school today just to talk with you—our new celebrity. You've gotta help me out so I can finally make my dream a reality!"

Happy to help!: "What kind of little maniac says yes to something without even knowing what they're agreeing to?!"

What's this dream, first?: "Hehehe... Caught your interest, have I? You want to hear all about my dream, right?"

"Well, this might come as a surprise, but fact is, I'm all about that picnic life: the great outdoors, the perfectly prepared sandwiches, all of it. Not half bad at cooking either, I can tell you. Right now I'm researching new recipes that'll help Pokémon feel better. Real health food, see. I found this book the other day, and it had a section about these Herba Mystica things..."

"Basically, they're some kind of special herbs that heal up any Pokémon as soon as it eats them! Now, there are a total of five different types of Herba Mystica, based on what I read. Just taking a little lick of them once they've been powdered will get your blood flowing, provide nutrients, prevent aging—it'll even boost the immune system! These herbs seem like they're the real deal. Only found here in Paldea—and rare to boot!"

"But this book says they're all guarded by Titan Pokémon, meaning that it's gonna be pretty tough to try to grab even a few sprigs. 'Cause, see Titans are— Well, I think they've gotta be...things like this!"

"I really want to get those herbs for myself, but...I'm not very good at Pokémon battles. Don't have any friends with strong Pokémon to lend me a hand, either... And I'd never hear the end of it if I went crawling to that student council girl..."

"But here you waltz up! You've got to help me out with this—you'd be perfect!"

"Nope! Wait! I don't need an answer yet! I'll just register the places where it seems there might be Titans in your map app for you."

"Let it stew a bit, and we can get more into the details later. And in the meantime...take this. A little gift for listening and all."

"Give the idea some serious thought! Please!"

Mesagoza: "Tch! How's that for a student council president! Giving your own friends an insider advantage?"; "<player>'s gonna have his/her hands full searching out Titan Pokémon with me. He/She doesn't have time to waste on something like chasing after the Champion Rank. Me and him/her are gonna be too busy visiting the lairs of Titans and nabbing their Herba Mystica!"; "Hey! All I did was invite him along. It's still up to <player> whether he/she goes, right?"; "Hm? <player>, your phone's ringing."; "That's right! Because he/she's got more important things to do, like searching out awesome ingredients with me!"; "What was that all about?"; "A treasure...of our very own... For me, that's got to be Ma— Er, my big dream of tracking down the Herba Mystica, that is! Once we get those herbs, I'll make you the absoluuute best sandwich you've had in your life!"; "Argh! What'd you come out for?"; "Well, you're not getting one..."; "Hmph... Yeah? Maybe. Well, if you're going to search for those Titan Pokémon, I'd say set out from the east gate!"; "Tch! Man, this is why I can't get along with you... I'm out of here! Catch up soon, little buddy!"

When leaving Mesagoza towards the East Gate

"Hello? This is <player>'s phone, right? It's me—Arven! I was a bit worried 'bout whether or not you'd managed to set out yet."

"You did end up deciding to set out east, right? After leaving the school? If so, you're not that far from the area where the Stony Cliff Titan is said to make its lair. Stories say it clings to cliffs—practically becomes part of the stone—then attacks from above!"

"Though...maybe don't be staring up overhead all the time looking for a Titan, only to go tumbling off some cliff you didn't see."

"If that ever does happen, you can open your map app and call yourself a Flying Taxi to pick you up."

"Some of those rocky area are like a real maze, so try not to get lost, little buddy. And if you find a Titan, let me know!"

South Province (Area Three): "Hey, <player>! So, from what I can gather, the Stony Cliff Titan likes to lurk somewhere in this rocky area. I had a look around, but I couldn't find any trace of it! Maybe it's way up high on a cliff or something?"; "...Nah, that's impossible! I don't think it'd be hiding somewhere that tricky, so don't go falling off any cliffs or anything trying to search it out somewhere too strange. Maybe just give your map app a look if you're feeling stumped? It's pretty handy!"

Encountering Klawf, the Stony Cliff Titan

"<player>! You found it?! And THAT thing's the Stony Cliff Titan?! No Klawf has got any business being that big! Is it gonna be even stronger now, after eating those herbs...? Let's watch ourselves, <player>!"

In battle against the Stony Cliff Titan

After first attacking the Stony Cliff Titan: "Well, this is looking a little rough. Shellder, let's serve up a helping of defeat—on the half shell!"

After defeating the Stony Cliff Titan

"All right! Look at my little buddy, coming through like a champ! But these Titan Pokémon are...yeesh. I sure don't like having something so tough out to get me!"

"I bet somewhere in here there's more of that Herba Mystica the Titan was eating. Quick, let's have a look around before it comes back!"

"Now then, let's see... What does the book have to say? It says here that the Sweet Herba Mystica is good for gut health and that it helps aid digestion. Says it's great for stomachaches, too, or when you want to stimulate the ol' appetite!"

West Province (Area One): "Yo, <player>! So from what I gather, seems like the Open Sky Titan lives somewhere up on this mountain... But there are all these crazy boulders raining down from the mountain, too! It's gonna be a little tricky to stand around and look for the Titan while dodging all those."; "I think you'll be sent flying if you get hit by a falling boulder—but maybe you could power your way through atop that brute of yours!"

Encountering Bombirdier, the Open Sky Titan

"<player>! You managed to get to the Titan somehow, huh? So that's the Open Sky Titan... Wait, is this Titan what's been dropping all those boulders?!"

"I was lucky enough to be able to sneak up here because it had all its attention on you, little bud!"

"It looks like it's trying to power itself up. Like with some kinda mystical Meal Power or something. So we'd better be ready to go all out!"

In battle against the Open Sky Titan

After first attacking the Open Sky Titan: "Trying to drop rocks on folks is dangerous! Let's give this thing a good taste of defeat!"

After defeating the Open Sky Titan

"Yess! Way to go, <player>! Looks like we don't have to worry about any more boulders falling on us now, huh?"

"There has to be more of that Herba Mystica it ate in here. Let's hurry and find it before the Titan can come back for another go at us!"

"Now then, let's see... What does the book have to say? Bitter Herba Mystica's great for your circulation! It really gets the blood flowing! And that warms you right up, nice and toasty, even boosting the immune system! ...Or so it says."

East Province (Area Three): "Yo! <player>! So somewhere in one of the mines that're around here, we should find the Lurking Steel Titan."; "Rumor has it that the thing's staggeringly huge and reeeaaal long! You'd think a Pokémon like that would be easy to spot. I wonder how it stays hidden..."; "Maybe it's super fast? If that's the case, riding that Pokémon of yours might help you catch up."

Encountering Orthworm, the Lurking Steel Titan

"<player>! You managed to pin down the Titan?! THAT's the Lurking Steel Titan?! It's, uh...well, it sure is long!"

"I think our little friend might be even feistier now, after eating those herbs! We're gonna need to do this together, <player>!"

In battle against the Lurking Steel Titan

After first attacking the Lurking Steel Titan: "Doesn't matter how big an opponent is! Victory's gonna taste so good seasoned by my Toedscool!"

After defeating the Lurking Steel Titan

"We did it, <player>! Way to go, little buddy! Did you get a good look at its face, though? I didn't expect a Titan to be such a li'l cutie!"

"I bet if we go in here, we'll find more of that Herba Mystica it ate before. Let's go find it before that thing can regroup!"

"Now then, let's see... What does the book have to say? Well, apparently Salty Herba Mystica helps with aching hands and feet. Good for neuropathy and numbness. When you've got muscle weakness, it supposedly builds up strength again!"

Asado Desert: "Hey, <player>! Apparently this desert is home to the Quaking Earth Titan. Speaking of which, the ground's been shaking off and on and...urk...making me feel a bit sick..."; "Sorry, I'm gonna just sit down and rest a little before I get back to Titan hunting..."

Encountering Great Tusk^S/Iron Treads^V, the Quaking Earth Titan

"<player>! Looks like you found yourself a Titan!"

"Wait... THAT'S the Quaking Earth Titan? Uh... Is...is that thing even a Pokémon? It must be trying to get pumped up with that little snack..."

"Time to show that thing what you and me can do, <player>!"

In battle against the Quaking Earth Titan

After first attacking the Quaking Earth Titan: "I'm gonna use the Scovillain I caught nearby to seize a real spicy victory. This is gonna burn!"

After defeating the Quaking Earth Titan

"Yesss! Nice going, little buddy!"

"What even WAS that thing, though?! I kinda feel like...maybe I've seen it before somewhere..."

"Anyway, I bet if we head inside here, we'll find more of that Herba Mystica it was eating. Let's give the place a once-over before that thing decides to come back!"

"Now then, let's see... What does the book have to say? OK, Sour Herba Mystica is chock-full of nutrients and is great for boosting your overall health! Says here it works wonders whether you're tired physically or mentally. Perks you right up!"

Casseroya Lake: "Hey there, <player>! So, rumor has it the False Dragon Titan lurks somewhere in this lake, right? But not a single person's ever caught a glimpse of it."; "Must be some kinda truly terrifying beast... But how are we supposed to search for a thing when we don't even know what it looks like? Sure would be handy if it just ran around crying "I'm the Titan!" or something—if only, right!"

Encountering Dondozo

"<player>! Did you find the Titan?! So that's it? Sure is one big...uh...dragon?"

"Wait, is it even a dragon? Or is it a fish?!"

"Huh...? Th-the little sushi guy got eaten up by the Titan?! Yeesh! Didn't expect to see the food chain in action today!"

In battle against Dondozo

After first attacking the Dondozo: "This food chain's got me pretty fascinated... I'm gonna dig in and make a meal of this battle!"

After defeating Dondozo

"W-we did it, <player>! Now that the Titan's taken care of, next up on the menu is that Herba Mystica..."

"Hmm? Whoa! The little sushi guy escaped without becoming that thing's lunch!"

"What—?! Does that thing wanna fight, too?!"

After defeating Tatsugiri, the False Dragon Titan

"Phew... Nice job, <player>! That's my hard-working little bud!"

"Maybe the Titan was both those Pokémon together? Like some kind of combo meal."

"The little one came out of here, which means...there should be some Herba Mystica inside! Let's go, <player>!"

"OK! Let's see what the book has to say... So it seems Spicy Herba Mystica's supposed to boost your metabolism! It gives your circulation a boost and helps flush out all those toxins...along with a ton of sweat!"

Titan Pokémon battles
After defeating the first Titan

"Watch your step. It's pretty dark..."

"No way! This is one of the Herba Mystica! It's exactly how it looked in the book!"

"YES! We actually found one! And it's all thanks to you, <player>!

"Now if I can just get him to eat some..."

"All right! Now it's my turn to show off what I can do. You're about to get a taste of my cooking!"

"Yeeeaaarrrghhh! Hiya! Hwatcha! Hyah!"

"Here you go! An Arven-original sandwich packed full of herbs! And I'll even give you a badge—y'know, as a thank-you for taking on that Titan Pokémon. I call it a Titan Badge. Made it myself, using a replica of the Gym Badges, see?"

"Argh! What's up with that thing?! It just comes out of its ball on its own whenever it wants?"

"...Hey now. No. That's not for you."

"Hey! I went through all the trouble of making that for you, and you just give it away?! I hope you realize that's all there was, so now there's none left for you..."

That's totally fine!: "Aw, come on! Now you're making me feel like I'm the selfish jerk here!"

Wait, really...?: "All right, all right! Don't look at me like that!"

"Here, you can have half of mine. But you'd better savor every last bite!"

"Huh? You already ate that whole thing? Wha—?! Hey, is it me or has this thing sort of...powered up somehow?

"Whoa! I can't believe it! The power of these herbs really is worth guarding! If they had that big an effect on your Pokémon, then I bet—"

"Uhhh... I bet it'll come in super handy for that Treasure Hunt assignment we've got! Yup! That's what I bet!"

"Well, you've both filled your bellies with some of my legendary sandwiches! Guess it's time to tidy everything up..."

"Oh, don't you worry about helping! After battling the Titan, you've earned a break! Just leave all this to me! Though I'd be much obliged if you'd get a start on searching out the remaining four Herba Mystica for us."

"I really owe you..."

"... ... ... OK. The coast is clear. You can come out now."

After defeating the second Titan

"If we're lucky, there'll be another herb here..."

"I knew it! It really is here! This is one of the herbs, make no mistake!"

"Woo-hoo! We did it! Thanks, <player>!"

"If I can just slip this into a tasty sandwich and get him to eat some..."

"Well, what are we waiting for, <player>? It's time to dig in! Let me whip something up for us!"

"Yeeeaaarrrt! Hiya! Huwatcha!"

"...And Bob's your uncle!"

"Here you go! My special, whimsical, herb-filled super sandwich! And it comes with a side of...Titan Badge! As a token of my gratitude, 'course!"

"Oh, come on! You again?!"

"Hmph. Is it trying to say thanks or something?"

"Well, good thing I made extra."

"You're helping me out a whole bunch with the hard stuff, so it's only fair that you get more. I definitely, absolutely did not make extra so that Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V could have a sandwich, OK?!"

"Did it grow stronger again?"

"Man, these Herba Mystica really do pack a punch, don't they? I mean...they'd better. Or else I'm really up the creek."

"Don't you dare touch that! That isn't for you!"

"Oh, uh...sorry. I shouldn't have shouted like that..."

"I guess I should at least tell you the full story, <player>. Come on out, bud..."

"This is Mabosstiff. My partner."

"Here you go, bud. Eat up. This sandwich should help you feel better. Slowly now. Take your time. Small bites are fine. Just chew nice and slow..."

"My buddy here was...hurt pretty bad a while ago. Real bad, in fact. He never really recovered.

Potions and things don't work?: "Nothing seems to help. Not Potions, not Pokémon Centers... Nothing."

Have you tried a Pokémon Center?: "They said this wasn't any regular old injury or illness..."

"Mabosstiff here is the only thing in the world I care about. The only thing... So, I promised that I'd make him better—whatever it takes."

"I searched online, I read books, I looked all over and tried every cure and remedy I could find. But nothing really worked. I'd almost given up hope... That's when I found out about the Herba Mystica!"

That book—what is it?: "I found it in my mom's^S/dad's^V lab."

You've done your research!: "Yeah. See, I found this book in my mom's^S/dad's^V lab..."

"It's this book full of crazy stories and legends and things—stuff nobody'd usually believe."

"But I believe it! I think what it says is true! And according to this book, eating all five Herba Mystica can cure anything that ails you! Case in point, Mabosstiff's paws were cold as ice before he ate that last herb. But they've warmed up a little now—I'm sure they have!"

"Oh! You done eating, bud?"

"H-hey! Mabosstiff! Can...can you see? Are your eyes open?! Yes! I did it! It...it's been so long since he was able to open his eyes! I was so worried... *sniff* Oh man, I—! I'm so—! I'm so glad!"

"*sniffle* Heh... Ehehehehe... Aw, look at him. Those fiery orange little eyes... Hard to even tell if they're open or not, but I know the difference!"

"The power of these herbs is amazing! I knew the book wasn't lying! I'm gonna bring Mabosstiff back to full health, I swear it! Oh...uh, yeah. So, that's my story. Three herbs to go. Let's find 'em—together!"

After defeating the third Titan

"I'm sure there's some here, too... Aha!"

"I knew it! I spy Herba Mystica! Another successful search! We're on a roll!"

"This'll definitely help Mabosstiff feel even better! Come on, <player>... Let's get some food going!"

"Yeeeaaarrrt! Hiya! Huwatcha!"

"Sorry to keep ya waiting! Here you go: another of your favorite ol' Arven sandwiches! And it comes with a special Titan Badge! The Pokémon League might not recognize it, but I hope you appreciate it all the same!"

"Figured this might happen. Don't worry—I made extra this time for that brute of yours."

"Come on out, Mabosstiff. Got some for you, too, bud. That's it. Small bites, small bites..."

"C'mon... At least bother to taste it before you swallow it right down, would you?"

"This brute seems to be benefiting from the herbs too, I guess—in its own sorta way."

"Oh yeah! 'Fore I forget, <player>... Take another look at this. There's always a Titan Pokémon near the Herba Mystica when we find 'em, right? Like the book says, it's not like big ol' Pokémon just happen to like these herbs. It's actually something in the herbs that's making the Titans so big and strong. So does that mean a Titan's "lair" isn't really some kind of treasure hoard or whatever? It's just a pantry where the Titan keeps its food?"

"Oh. You done with your sandwich, Mabosstiff?"

"'R-ruf'?! You...you heard that, right, <player>? Mabosstiff just woofed! Right?!"

Yes: "Right? I'm not imagining things!"

No: "No! No, no, no, no, no! I'm sure I heard it! You must've heard it too! Sure you don't need to get your ears checked?"

"See! See that! I knew I wasn't just hearing things!"

"Oh, Mabosstiff! Who's my best bud, huh? Who's the best of boys? You are, yes, you are! *sniff* It's...it's been so long since I heard that woof!"

"Mabosstiff is definitely getting better! Ever since I teamed up with you, good things keep happening! But we've still got two more herbs to go. Hope you'll stick it out until we're done!"

After defeating the fourth Titan

"Come out, come out, wherever you are!"

"Yes! Found it! Here's our little herb!"

"This shape! This sheen! It looks like it'll taste horrible, which means it's gotta be good for you!"

"No time to waste—let's get some food going!"

"Yeeeaaarrrt! Hiya! Huwatcha!"

"Sorry for the wait! Here's a super healthy sandwich that'll perk you right up once you eat it! Plus, as a token of our friendship, here's another Titan Badge! Gaze upon it in awe as you eat."

"Come on out, Mabosstiff! Food's up!"

"Oh-ho-ho! Would you look at that! Seems like someone's got a proper appetite now!"

"Seems like that fellow's also slowly regaining its original strength. Still...doesn't look like it's anywhere close to returning to its battle form. It seems healthy enough physically... Maybe it's got some kind of mental block that's preventing it from returning to its true form?"

"I've read about it in books before... A mental scar. Like psychological trauma, you know? I think that's what you call it."

"Maybe it had a terrifying experience in battle, so now it's scared to battle at all?"

"Well, don't worry! I'm sure both that brute and Mabosstiff will make a full recovery eventually! So, how do you feel, Mabosstiff? How's that Herba Mystica working?"

"Gah! Uhhh, no pressure! Not like it's fair to expect every kind of Herba Mystica to have some huge effect, right? And it's not like the effect has to be immediate, either."

"Hey, it's OK! Don't worry! <player> and I are gonna make sure you're right as rain! We've got one more herb to go...and I bet it's the best of them all! It's...it's just gotta be."

"All right, <player>! The next stop on our little herb hunt should be the last! But we can't lose steam until we're done! Let's keep up our momentum! Here! We! Go!"

After defeating the fifth Titan

"That must be it! The last Herba Mystica!"

"You know what's next... It's chow time!"

"Yeeeaaarrrt! Hiya! Huwatcha!"

"And here we go! Trusty Arven's chockablock-full-of-cheer-final-herb super-sandwich! Squeeze this badge tight and cry beautiful tears of friendship as you eat, OK?"

"I guess it's Mabosstiff's turn, then..."

"Come on, bud. Eat up. It's gonna make you all better, I promise. <player> and I—we really did our best to get this for you."

"We're gonna play with your favorite ball as much as you want... Y'know? Just like we used to."

"Please...get better... That's all I want, really..."

"Mabosstiff... You did your best, bud..."

"Bud! I know, bud! Me, too!"

"Wha—?"

"Pah... Listen to you. Like you had anything to do with it."

"...Excuse me?"

"I guess you probably already know... But that...that's my mom^S/dad^V."

"Always buried under her^S/his^V work, off pursuing her^S/his^V own research. Never at home with me. That's the first time I've even heard her^S/his^V voice in years, you know?"

"And now what? The first thing I get is to be treated like some kind of errand boy?"

"She's^S/He's^V seriously...unbelievable."

"But I'm guessing you and Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V probably want to go, eh? Not gonna lie—I feel like my blood's boiling, but... Sure, fine, I'll get you into the lab. What else can I do?"

"The lab is off Poco Path. At the lighthouse where you and me first met. Come on. Let's get moving before I change my mind!"

"Mom^S/Dad^V... Where've you been all this time?"

Poco Path: "Seriously, you beat me here?"; "Well, this is the lab. I used to come to play all the time when I was a kid."; "There'd better be a good reason for calling us here like this..."; "Let's find out."; "Everyone always says...she's^S/he's^V some kinda genius. Absolutely brilliant as a Pokémon Professor."; "...My mom^S/dad^V, that is. But let me tell you—as a parent? She's^S/He's^V the worst. All she^S/he^V ever does is work. She^S/He^V never comes home. I don't have a single memory of her^S/him^V ever even playing with me—her^S/his^V own kid. Mabosstiff's the only one who was there for me. Always."; "Anyway. It's open now. Go on in. I just want to get this over with!"

At the Poco Path Lighthouse

"The final step...?"

"Wait...do you mean THIS book?"

"Area Zero... That place is bad news. It was down in Area Zero that Mabosstiff got wounded in the first place... Down in the Great Crater of Paldea."

"In all honesty, I'd be perfectly happy to never see that place again..."

"Are you gonna go?"

Of course I'm going to go!: "...I suppose she^S/he^V did ask.

We might find our treasure!: "Our treasure, huh... Yeah, I suppose that WAS the assignment we were given."

"And I can't just stand by and watch while a friend heads off into danger on his/her own. So I guess I'm going, too! 'Sides, I'd love to give Mom^S/Dad^V a piece of my mind."

"All right then, <player>! Outside! We're gonna have a Pokémon battle to see if we're really ready to head into Area Zero or not! Mostly to see if I'm ready or not! Let's go!"

After leaving the lighthouse

"All right! You ready for a battle, <player>?"

No: "You come up to me just to tell me no? C'mon, little bud—don't mess with me like that!"

Yes: "Excellent! You're ready too, right, Mabosstiff?!"

"Yep, Mabosstiff says he's ready!"

"OK, yeah, I can see why you'd be worried..."

"But my buddy here's bursting with energy! You'd never know he was so weak just a little while ago! Won't leave me alone—always whining at me, wanting to battle you and your Pokémon."

"It's been so long I nearly forgot, but he always did love to battle. Even if we always lost to that student council girl—the battle fanatic one."

"Anyway, my point is there's no need to worry! We're a brand-new Arven and Mabosstiff! And we're feeling audacious—or maybe herbaceous? Let me give you a taste of what we can do!"

In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "The Pokémon that I met during our hunt for the Herba Mystica are all stars—every one of them!"

Upon Terastallizing his Mabosstiff: "Let's celebrate your full recovery with a glow up! Time to Terastallize, Mabosstiff!"

Upon being defeated: "We were so close, Mabosstiff! So close! But, <player>...thanks, little buddy!"

After being defeated

"Dang... This is the strength of someone who could take down those Titan Pokémon, huh?"

"Yeah, much as I hate to admit it...I do think we're gonna need some more support. The Pokémon in Area Zero are super strong, and there are all sorts of weird machines there, too."

"I'd say we need at least two more people... Somebody with some Champion Rank-level skills and somebody who can deal with crazy tech."

If the player hasn't completed the other two storylines first

Maybe Nemona...?: "The student council girl? Yeah, she'd be perfect for the job, but I doubt she'd give us the time of day unless one of us was on her level. As in Champion Rank level."

Maybe Penny...?: "Huh? Never knew we had someone all tech savvy like that at school. But I doubt someone with those skills would bother helping us out unless she owed us..."

"But, well, we've gotta do what we've gotta do! Whoever you think could be a help, just try getting in good with 'em! We'll see if we can't get a team together. Get in touch if you make progress—I'll do the same!"

Upon completing all three storylines, via Rotom Phone

"Yo! Arven here!"

"Woah! Down, boy! Don't jump up like that! Seems like hearing your voice has old Mabosstiff here all worked up, <player>! Oh! But that's not why I called! Nearly forgot... You remember what we talked about before? About going to Area Zero?"

Yes: "'Course you do, you little know-it-all! Got a mind like a steel trap, eh?"

No: "At least try to take this seriously, would you! Don't you remember our talk at the lighthouse?"

"Well, all the effort you've been putting in around Paldea has really helped you make a name for yourself. Built up some good will, that's for sure."

"So I've been able to secure two allies who want to go to Area Zero with us! That should have us ready to tackle anything! So now we've all just got to get there."

"First step will be gathering at Area Zero! I'll be ready and waiting at the Zero Gate—I'll send you the location on your phone, too. Don't leave me hanging forever!"

"We'll be waiting!"

If the player has completed the other two storylines first

That sounds like Nemona!: "The student council president? You're probably right. That girl can take on any Pokémon that comes at her. She's a beast!"

That sounds like Penny!: "Penny? That crazy-smart hacker girl who was the big boss behind Team Star? I mean, yeah, she'd be perfect for the job... But when did you go making friends with some shady character like her?!"

"Huh! Well, seems like you've been busy making some pretty useful friends!

"I'll reach out to them and organize things. You just make sure you're there. The meeting place will be the Zero Gate. It's this facility out on the edge of the Great Crater. I'll send you the info on how to find it, so don't keep us waiting forever!"

Zero Gate: "Heeey! Over here!"; "This is the Zero Gate. It was made so researchers could try to observe the inside of the Great Crater of Paldea... What folks call Area Zero. It's our ticket down into the crater."; "Oh, and speaking of the crater... You know that Pokémon of yours? The one I gave you? Area Zero is apparently where Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V was born, or something like that. Maybe it'll be happy that it can finally come back home? Not that I really care or anything..."; "Anyway, our two new teammates should be waiting for us inside the Zero Gate. Guess we should head in."; "Whoa! Kinda dark in here..."; "Once she heard she'd get to battle awesome Pokémon, she was here in a second. You're an annoying little pest at the academy, but I guess you could come in handy for this."; "Yeah, it IS weird that the lights are off... The last time I was here, the electricity was up and running. But now..."; "But why?"; "The director introduced us. When you need someone good with tech, she's a no-brainer. Anyway, Penny here also agreed in a second when she heard it was to help <player>."; "She's surprisingly old-fashioned like that. And of course everyone knows me, Arven! My loves include my Mabosstiff and cooking and—"; "That's...my mom^S/dad^V. Probably..."; "When would I have done that?"; "Um... Mom^S/Dad^V?"

If spoken to

"...Guess we'd better 'proceed below,' as requested."

At the gate's exit

"...Railroading people into stuff, just like always."

"I guess we'd better go, too..."

"<player>! Ready for the worst?"

Yes: "Good! That's all we needed to hear! Get out that Pokémon of yours, and we'll be off..."

No: "Well, we're all waiting on you. Just say the word as soon as you're ready."

Preparing to head down

"Hmph... Scared of heights... That's what I'd say!"

"Get on!"

"Yeee-aaauuuggghhhhhh!!!"

Area Zero: "...And now I'm back here again."; "It's probably just hungry or something."; "... ... ... Wait a second—where's that student council girl?!"; "Hah, yeah, sure! Smooth sailing! Who could possibly complain about a landing like that?"; "Hm...?"

While walking

"It seems like it got spooked by something. It's hiding in its ball."

"Ah, should be all right. The last time I was here... I caught a Flying Taxi out of the crater. They always come through, if you're a real sob story..."

"Tch! None of your business, pipsqueak."

"Hold it right there, you two."

"You think YOU'VE got cool friendship origin stories with <player>? They're nothing compared to what me and him/her went through! Our friendship's on another level!"

Approaching Research Station No. 1

"Oh yeah, what were they called? Radish rations?"

"Hmph. Well, I was close."

After the player and Nemona defeat a wild Glimmora

"You think that was something? Please. You've got no idea how terrifying Area Zero really is."

At Research Station No. 1

"... ... ..."

If spoken to

"I wonder if my mom^S/dad^V ever worked here..."

While walking

"I...I almost never saw my mom^S/dad^V in my whole life."

"She^S/He^V was always busy with work. Hardly ever came home."

"I cooked for myself, cleaned for myself... Mabosstiff was the only one I had to talk to."

"So, yeah, I don't really know her^S/him^V at all. Even if she^S/he^V is my mom^S/dad^V."

"I tried not to think too much about it. Tried to just be proud that she^S/he^V was this famous genius. But the truth is, I would've rather just had a mom^S/dad^V who was there...even if she^S/he^V wasn't anything great."

"I haven't seen her^S/him^V for ages now. Unless you count seeing her^S/him^V in the news or whatever. Used to at least get emails sometimes. But even those stopped a couple years ago. And then she^S/he^V appears, out of the blue, and tells me we've gotta come to Area Zero? Tch. Some family, right?"

"Naw, I was also giving you a hard time. Sorry...uh..."

"You know...you're actually pretty nice for a little pipsqueak!"

"Last time I came to the Great Crater, I was trying to go see my mom^S/dad^V...I got about this far, then I got attacked by some kind of creature I'd never seen before."

"It wasn't even a Pokémon. More like this crazy-violent, rampaging sort of thing^S/crazy-weird, metallic, machine thing^V..."

"Yeah, I'm sure! It was like a completely different creature altogether! And it hurt Mabosstiff real bad, so it's not like I'd just forget! I don't ever want to run into that awful thing again..."

"...That's what I figured you'd say."

Approaching Research Station No. 2

"I thought you'd have a bit more stamina, student council girl."

"That wasn't a compliment, you know..."

After the player and Penny defeat a hostile Scream Tail^S/Iron Bundle^V

"No kidding..."

At Research Station No. 2

"I've been wondering about that myself. I think maybe that Pokémon was...one of these?"

"I...don't really know."

"Ancient^S/Future^V Pokémon?!"

"So the thing my mom^S/dad^V spent forever researching down here... She^S/He^V actually got it working?!"

"The...cost?"

"Mom^S/Dad^V, you—"

"...Why did you call us here to Area Zero?"

"... ... ..."

"Hey, <player>. You know that book she^S/he^V told me to bring? I think it's got something to do with this place. Or more like...everything to do with this place. But I'm not the one she^S/he^V expects to fix whatever all this is... You are. I think you should be the one to carry it."

"Take care of it for me... OK, <player>?"

If spoken to

"It can't be. It just can't. But then who...?"

While walking

"What're your parents like, Nemona?"

"So Nemona's actually some pampered little princess from a rich family?"

"Wait, you call them 'Mother' and 'Father'?!"

"Man, that's a real downer...for your dad. Having his own daughter describe him like that..."

"You met her?"

"Really? Wish I could've seen that. I bet it tasted great..."

Approaching Research Station No. 3

"All right! Another research station!"

"Wait a sec! This is just like that Titan Pokémon we saw! So it was an ancient^S/^Va future^V Pokémon all along?!"

"Yeah, well, <player> and I are old pros when it comes to Titans! Leave this to us!"

After the player and Arven defeat an aggressive Great Tusk^S/Iron Treads^V

"See that? Victory's ours!"

"Maybe the one we saw when we were searching out the Herba Mystica came from down here..."

"Yeah. Right 'Cause it's not like oh-so-brilliant Professor Sada^S/Turo^V ever messes up..."

"C'mon, <player>. Let's get into that research station."

At Research Station No. 3

"Urk. You still remember that from way back? No wonder you're everybody's little star pupil. Guess I've got no choice, then, but to tell you what I know..."

"That Pokémon—Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V, that is...It was found by my mom^S/dad^V when she^S/he^V was working on her^S/his^V time machine."

"Seriously...?"

"Huh? You mean...there's another one around here somewhere?!"

"Family, huh... Yeah... That sounds nice."

If spoken to

"If that other Pokémon really is the only family it has left in the world... It must want to be together again, right?"

While walking

"That was the first I heard of it coming from the past^S/future^V myself..."

"It was just some weird Pokémon my mom^S/dad^V brought home all of a sudden one day. We all lived together at the lighthouse lab for a little while."

"My mom^S/dad^V made me promise to keep it a secret. And I had to take care of it for her^S/him^V, too..."

"Yeah, but then one day Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V just went nuts against some wild Pokémon..."

"A few of the folks living nearby ended up seeing it, so the secret was out. Once that happened, my mom^S/dad^V took it—and went back to Area Zero."

"Yeah. If people found out, it'd be all over the news."

"I didn't see my mom^S/dad^V or Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V again after that. For ages. Looking back on it now, it seems stupid, but... I felt like I'd lost my mom^S/dad^V 'cause of Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V. It was the worst feeling ever. I just hated Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V and everything about it. Didn't want to even talk about it."

"I'm sorry for not telling you what I knew sooner, <player>..."

"D-dang, you guys... Harsh..."

"So the professor's down there somewhere...waiting for us. And that's...fine. Totally fine."

"All right, team! Watch yourselves and let's get to the bottom of this thing!"

"Yeah... This place's like something from a whole other world. Makes you feel like maybe you already died and went somewhere..."

"Only one way to find out. Come on, everybody. Let's keep moving... We've got to go all the way down."

"That...doesn't exactly jibe with how it's been acting all spooked since we got here. It doesn't seem eager to come out of its ball anytime soon, either."

"Huh? Who said it was scared of heights?"

"So...maybe it got hurt down here in Area Zero, just like Mabosstiff?"

"Nemona, you're...kind of unbelievable. In a mostly good way."

At Research Station No. 4

"Yeah, but what...?"

"...Come again?"

"What the heck?!"

"Well, it was definitely weird, at least. Almost like... I dunno..."

If spoken to

"That...that was almost like— No, it can't be..."

"...That's not what that was."

While walking

"Say, I'm pretty sure that call was really— Uh...never mind. It's nothing."

"No matter how things turn out, I'm countin' on you to see this through, <player>."

Outside the Zero Lab

"Have we finally reached the deepest part?!"

"So, this entire building's been Terastallized? Is that what you're saying?"

"Hah! Well then, that puts all my worries to rest."

"Hold it!"

"Look—if it's true that a bunch of really dangerous Pokémon might come at us, then shouldn't we also have Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V help?"

"But it's really strong. I know it is. It ate all those Herba Mystica we found, too! When it really matters, I'm sure it'll fight! And Area Zero is where it used to live... If you bring it out of its ball now, maybe it'll be able to find its family, too. Right?"

"All right! Come on, <player>! Now that we've got Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V ready, it's time to open that gate!"

"Whoa... No way!"

"Yeah, that other Pokémon was giving off some real bad vibes..."

"Uh... Not that you should worry a thing 'bout any of that! Once we get you back into your battle form, I'm sure you'll be going toe-to-toe against that jerk! If...you know, if you want to."

"S-sorry... Guess that doesn't really help, huh..."

"You mean from inside the gate we just—?"

"What the—?!"

"And it's pretty obvious they're not here to roll out a friendly welcome mat."

"We've got a little disaster on our hands here..."

"Look, even that fellow's ready to bail..."

After the player helps Nemona and Penny defeat an escaping Great Tusk^S/Iron Treads^V and an escaping Brute Bonnet^S/Iron Hands^V, respectively

"I hope the two of them can handle their part... But at least the crowd's been thinned out now. Guess it's up to us to deal with what's left!"

"Let's go for this strong-looking one first!"

After the player and Arven defeat an escaping Flutter Mane^S/Iron Jugulis^V

"See! The power of friendship had us perfectly in sync! All thanks to our Titan hunting together!"

"Still scared, huh? You worried you might have to face that other one of your kind? Well then, lemme take on some of the burden!"

"These stragglers should be nothing! Me and Mabosstiff here can take them!"

"So, <player>, you take your partner there and go take care of business!"

Got it!: "Heheh, glad to see you’ve got some faith in us at last! Mabosstiff can’t wait to battle, either!"

But...: "Aw, come on! If you're not even gonna rely on your friends, then who are you going to rely on? Mabosstiff here is raring to go! Leave this to us!"

"Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V! You really ruined my whole childhood, you know. But it's not like seeing you cowering and scared outta your wits makes me feel any better about it. You've got amazing powers, if you just use 'em! And you've got us, too! So... So... So don't you even think about losing to that jerk!"

"Be brave—stand up and fight!"

If spoken to outside the Zero Lab

"Go, <player>! We'll follow as soon as we can!"

Zero Lab: "<player>!"; "OK, out with it, you... Who are you, really?!"; "You're really not...my mom^S/dad^V, are you?"; "M...Mom^S/D...Dad^V?!"

When the player is in battle against the Paradise Protection Protocol

"That's totally cheating! And you call yourself an adult?!"

"You took that hit like a champ! You can do this! I know you can!"

"<player>! Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V! Terastallize—and finish this off!"

After the player has defeated the Paradise Protection Protocol

"Are you back to normal?"

"Huh? Wh-what does that mean?"

"You...you can't... You can't just go and say a thing like that now!"

"Mom^S/Dad^V!"

"How could you just...go? Mom^S/Dad^V..."

"Yeah. Somewhere deep down, I...kind of already knew it. I knew that thing was fake...but it..."

"When it said my name, using her^S/his^V voice and wearing her^S/his^V face..."

"Even if it was fake, it...felt real, you know. And so I just...I..."

"Sorry... I don't know what I'm saying..."

"Yeah... That's my bud <player> for ya..."

"Yeah... Thanks, Penny."

Leaving Area Zero: "... ... ..."; "I don't really—"; "Hey, <player>! Not you, too!"; "Oh, all right, FINE! I guess we're doing this..."

Naranja Academy^S/Uva Academy^V

In the director's office

"Hah, looks like the hero's finally here!"

"Ah... Well... Yeah, it was pretty rough when I found out my mom^S/dad^V had died..."

"But weirdly enough, my head actually feels clear now. For the first time in ages."

"In the Great Crater, I got to learn a bit about my mom's^S/dad's^V research and what he was trying to achieve down there. I guess if you're building something as mind-blowing as a time machine, that takes priority over showering your son with attention, huh?"

"All I know is I'm done feeling like some lost little kid. Done. Time to say good-bye and move on. I'm gonna enjoy every last day till graduation with my buds here—and Mabosstiff, 'course!"

"Wha—?"

"Seriously? Could we not?"

"Is that even allowed? The chairwoman's not part of the academy, right?"

"Wait, for real? I mean, I knew she was on another level, but...wow."

"Guess my role's so obvious it goes without saying?"

Mesagoza: "Whooo! Way to go, Champ!"

Academy Ace Tournament

First time

Before battle

"You've got to be kidding me. Up against my little Champion buddy right from the first round..."

"So how about it, <player>! Bet you're surprised to see me in this tournament, right?!"

Yes: "Heheh... Yeah, that's right! That dumbfounded expression is what I wanted to see!"

No: "Wait, you actually thought I would sign up for this thing? Boy, I guess you really do get me... No wonder we're best buds!"

"See, when we went down into Area Zero, it really drove home for me how I need to get stronger. So I've been off doing some special super-serious training with Mabosstiff and my team!"

"If we ever end up in trouble again, I want to be there fighting beside you—on the same level. So today I'm here to WIN! Even if it might only be by a stroke of luck!"

"Get a taste of this! Arven's here with some spicy new flavor for you!"

In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "I want you and me to be on the same level... So I'm going after this win without holding back!"

Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "I'm putting everything I've got into this... No regrets allowed—no leftovers after this meal!"

Upon Terastallizing his Mabosstiff: "Let's light up this School Battle Brawl, Mabosstiff! Brighter than anybody!"

Upon first using Mabosstiff's Crunch: "Let's put those jaws to good use, bud! We're gonna chew up his/her hopes of victory!"

Upon being defeated: "You're so strong and cool... I'm real proud to call you my best friend, you know!"

After being defeated

"Phew, the strength of a Champion is legit! It hurts to lose, but I'm proud of you, little buddy! Maybe I should think about going around to all those Gyms myself sometime..."

"You'd better try just as hard as I would've in round two, for me!"

Subsequent visits

Before battle

"Argh! Why you, of all people? I've got one shot at this... I can't blow it!"

In battle

Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "Think you've got us on the run? Not at all, little buddy—this is when we turn it around and shine!"

Upon Terastallizing his Mabosstiff: "Mabosstiff, time to Terastallize! No one can ever outshine you!"

Upon first using Mabosstiff's Crunch: "Now's our chance! Show 'em how strong you are!"

Upon being defeated: "Mabosstiff really gave it his all—I know he did! And next time, we won't lose!"

After being defeated

"Tch! Guess getting pitted up against my little buddy was just my bad luck!"

Naranja Academy^S/Uva Academy^V

In the cafeteria

"Yo, <player>! You grabbing something to eat, too? Man, you sure did give me a beating in that Academy Ace Tournament!"

"Seems like all my closest buddies are in another league, you know? I mean, look at you—you just up and became a Champion! In your first year, to boot! You know that's pretty amazing, right? Then there's Nemona—top marks in every class at school, and she's Champion-ranked too. And I hear Penny's got some kind of offer to work for the Pokémon League or something?!"

"I seem to be the only average one around here. Nothing special about me..."

You're great at cooking!: "Nah, I mean...it's just, like, a hobby really. I only learned how to do the basics because my mom^S/dad^V wasn't around to cook for me..."

Your mom's^S/dad's^V super famous!: "Tch! You sure don't give a guy a break, huh? So, the only special thing about me is who my mom^S/dad^V was? Not like I had anything to do with it..."

"Wait! My mom^S/dad^V!"

"See, now that Mabosstiff is doing so much better, and since the Treasure Hunt is still going and all, I've been thinking of a new goal: to find myself!"

"And I guess you've really gotta start by knowing where you come from, which means...I should learn more about my mom^S/dad^V, right? She^S/He^V was a student at this school once, too. That's what I heard. I'm gonna search the whole school for info about what kind of person she^S/he^V really was!"

"Thanks for the inspiration, little buddy!"

In the director's office

"<player>! Boy, did you pick a great moment to stop on by! Take a look at this! This is supposed to be a sample from my mom's^S/dad's^V research from back when she^S/he^V was a student! Hehe, that's what Director Clavell here told me. He's been helping me out."

"So she^S/he^V really was always amazing...right from the start, huh?"

"Oh! I guess I never really questioned it, but...why IS your office full of all this equipment?"

"It was?!"

"I never knew..."

"All these pieces of my mom's^S/dad's^V life—they were right in front of me this whole time...I spent so long trying not to think about her^S/him^V that I never even noticed...until now."

"Thanks for telling me about this, Director Clavell! And, <player>, thanks for being here with me to learn about it, too!"

In the entrance hall

"Yo, <player>! Coming to hit the books?"

Yeah, exactly!: "Seriously? You're already so good at everything else—couldn't you just slack off a bit? For me?"

Nah, just passing through: "What, you just felt like climbing all those stairs to train your legs or something?"

"Oh, you wanna know why I'm here? Uh...yeah. I'm still working on my own little Treasure Hunt—trying to find myself and all."

"While I was here in the entrance hall, digging through my mom's^S/dad's^V research reports, I found this on one of the bookshelves. This book was so precious to my mom^S/dad^V that she^S/he^V even kept a copy of it in the lighthouse lab... The Scarlet Book^S/Violet Book^V... That's what it's called, right?"

"This is my first time really reading the bits that aren't about the Herba Mystica—they're amazing! I mean, it all sounds super fake, but it's got all these cool pictures and it's real fun to read! Like, look at this entry here!"

"The text on this page is all smudged and blurry in every copy of this book I've ever seen. Seems kinda suspicious, right?"

"'Course, the whole book is full of unbelievable stories, the Herba Mystica being one of them. But they turned out to be real..."

"And after everything we saw in Area Zero—well, makes it hard to say it's all nonsense, huh?"

"In fact, I think it might've been this book that made my mom^S/dad^V want to become a researcher. I bet she^S/he^V got so fixated with the ancient^S/future^V Pokémon she^S/he^V read about in here that it made her^S/him^V want to see one for herself^S/himself^V."

"Wait, hold on... Isn't my mom's^S/dad's^V time machine the whole reason the ancient^S/future^V Pokémon ended up here in the first place? This book is from way before she^S/he^V made the time machine, but it mentions ancient^S/future^V Pokémon. Isn't that kinda...weird? ... ... ..."

"Oh well! I'm sure it's all just made up anyway! But my mom^S/dad^V believed that nonsense—and even managed to make it a reality. I guess she^S/he^V really was something!"

"I'm gonna learn from her^S/his^V example and start giving it my all, too."

"I've got something I gotta do now, but I'll see you around, little buddy!"

In Classroom 2-G

"Gwah! I was focusing so hard, I didn't even notice you, bud!"

"Hehe... I know, I know. Pretty rare to see me actually studying, right? But I'm at a pretty good stopping point. How about a break? I could use a change of scenery."

In his dorm room

"What do you think? Welcome to Chez Arven! Well, Chez Arven and Mabosstiff, really."

It really screams "Arven"!: "Hehehe... Yeah, I know, right? Wait—what screams 'Arven' to you?"

It's surprisingly clean!: "Why's that surprising?! I'll have you know that I clean every single day! Mostly 'cause Mabosstiff sheds a ton, but still..."

"Anyway, uh... About the reason you saw me studying in the classroom like that..."

"I went back and read the pages about the Herba Mystica in the Scarlet Book^S/Violet Book^V again. It made me remember how things were back when Mabosstiff was all weak and everything. I couldn't seem to do anything to help him, and...boy, it sure didn't feel good. 'Course, I'm really glad that I was able to find all the Herba Mystica together with you. But there's got to be other people who are still suffering the same way I was back then, worrying about their Pokémon that're sick or hurt."

"So... So I...I, uh..."

"Don't laugh, OK?"

"I've decided that I...I'm gonna become a cook! I'm gonna make super healthy food, bursting full of the stuff Pokémon need to feel great!"

"Yeah! And thanks. I knew I could count on you to be all supportive like that."

"The culinary world might be a bit different, but I swear—I'm gonna be just as famous as my mom^S/dad^V!"

"So I guess I can close the book on my little hunt to find myself. It's time to start a new chapter—one that's all about working toward my new dream!"

"And hey, feel free to stop by my room anytime. Mabosstiff will always be glad to see you."

If spoken to again

"Mabosstiff is still doing great—thanks to all the hard work you and me put in, 'course!"

If spoken to after trading for Sada's Scarlet Book^S/Turo's Violet Book^V at the Crystal Pool

"Oh, that the Scarlet Book^S/Violet Book^V? Did you borrow the copy in the entrance hall?"

"'Course you did! That book holds a lot of memories for us, little buddy."

Mossui Town

After the player interacts with Pecharunt, via Rotom Phone

"<player>! Yo! Arven here! I heard the news. You've been having all kinds of big adventures, huh, little buddy? School trips, studying abroad... What luck!"

Yeah, it's been awesome!: "Yeah? Man, I'm jealous to hear that. I wish I could've gone along too!"

Oh, it's not that big of a deal...: "Are you kidding me?! Man, acting like this kinda thing's normal. What a world traveler!"

"Now that I think about it, it's been one crazy thing after another since you came to our school. I guess you've still been real busy lately, but are things starting to settle down? I was thinking that if you have time—and only if you want, 'course—maybe... I could come visit you at your house?"

Of course! Come right over!: "Seriously?! It's such a relief to hear you say that! And without even the tiniest hesitation!"

Is something wrong?: "Nah, nothing like that! I just thought, you know, friends...go to each other's houses and stuff?"

"So I guess I'll come over! Your house is in Cabo Poco, right? I'll meet you out front! See you there!"

Cabo Poco

Outside the player's house

"<player>, I... This is all my fault! Sorry! You know when I called you and said I wanted to come hang? Well, these two overheard, and—"

"You say that, but who wants a buncha uninvited guests?! That's jsut rude!"

Regardless of choice: "I guess...if you're fine with it, <player>, then I can't really complain, either..."

"OK, listen up, you two! We're not allowed to cause any trouble for <player> and his/her mom! Got it?! We're gonna be the perfect guests today!"

Inside the player's house

"Your mom's cooking is so good, <player>!"

"And look at this huge room! Doesn't make you feel all boxed in like the dorm rooms do. It's super cute, seriously... ALmost too much for me to take!"

"N-n-no way! We couldn't possibly ask you for more food! We don't mean to be a hustle! Hassle, I mean! We don't want to be a hassle!"

"Y-yes, ma'am!"

"Your mom sure is nice, <player>... You're real lucky... Oh, but what about that letter? Aren't you gonna at least open it up?"

"Who's this Kieran guy? Some new...friend or something?"

Yeah, just a friend: "Yeah? I mean...guess that's good for you and all."

Yeah, he's...a friend: "What's with the weird hesitation? There some kind of story there? Not that it's my business..."

"Sheesh, that Nemona... Hasn't she ever heard of an inside voice? But I guess we'd better go, or she'll just keep on shouting!"

"I think what you're trying to say is "Thank you so much for feeding us. It was all really delicious!" Right?!"

"At least Nemona's got manners, I'll give her that. Unlike this one..."

"Say, <player>, about that letter... What was that place your new pal mentioned? Kitakami or something? You really gonna go there to meet this Kieran guy again?"

"Oh. Uhhh..."

"I feel kinda bad, though. Like we just invited ourselves along on your trip without asking..."

"Yeah, now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever taken a trip with a friend either."

"Sounds good! Let's say...we meet up again in front of Mesagoza's southern gate!"

"Thanks for having us over!"

South Province (Area One)

At Mesagoza's southern gate

"Hey! Over here! Over heeeeeere!"

"Did you get your old man's OK to go?"

"He just ultra-mega-cares, little bud!"

"Let's gooooooooo!!!"

Mossui Town

"Maybe you wouldn't have gotten so carsick if you hadn't stared at your phone the whole bus ride."

If the player responded 'Yes' to the caretaker: "Yeah, that's the long and short of it."

If the player responded 'No' to the caretaker: "What're you saying?! It really is the first time for the rest of us!"

"So what about that Kieran guy? Have you heard from him at all?"

If talked to before visiting Kieran

"I'm gonna make it clear once and for all who your REAL best friend is. Just you wait and see."

At Kieran and Carmine's house

"Yo, we're here too."

"And I'm Arven. <player>'s absolute BEST friend."

"Penny! Don't go sympathizing with the enemy! I thought I could count on you at least to keep this interloper at arm's length..."

"Oh no. I...I think I might have made a terrible mistake. This Kieran kid might actually be a good guy!"

"Y-yeah... Yeah, that's true."

If talked to before returning to the community center

"Shoot, I must've come across like a real jerk. Maybe I shoulda toned it down a bit, huh..."

At the community center

"That's Nemona for you. You get used to it."

"Whoa! Who the heck are you?!"

"You want us to pick her up and drag her off?! I mean...if you say so..."

At Kieran and Carmine's house

"Oh, I mean it was no big deal at all. Happy to help out, but..."

"You...really think that's what that was?"

"Wait, it could be a curse?!"

"Sheesh, <player>. You really just rolled on through this town like a little hurricane, huh?"

"If there's anything you think we can do to help, just say the word!"

If talked to before returning to the community center

"Hey, if my best friend's friend is in trouble, then I'll pull out all the stops to help 'em out!"

Upon entering the community center

"Man... I can't imagine anyone getting away with that back in Paldea!"

"Hey, Kieran! D'you have any idea how to change the channel on this TV? It just keeps playing this same tourism video over and over!"

"OK, crew! New goal: find that clicker so we can all watch a movie or something! It's gotta be around here somewhere, right?! We just need to find it!"

If the player responded 'I'm in!' to Nemona: "Heh heh! You agree my plan is genius, huh?"

If the player responded 'No way!' to Nemona: "What's the matter—you worried we'll get in trouble or something? Just relax!"

"Hey! Kieran! No fair getting a head start!"

If talked to while searching for the remote

"No luck with the drawers in the desk here! Guess that would've been too obvious, huh?"

After finding the remote

"What! No way! That means you get to choose what we do!"

"Huh? Where'd Nemona go off to? She in the bathroom or something?"

"I think I know what's going on..."

"She must be waiting to jump out and scare us!"

"You tried calling her?"

"I didn't hear her phone ring or anything. That's...weird."

"I guess that's make sense..."

"Wha—? But..."

"That's true... OK! But be careful out there!"

If talked to before going outside

"Be careful! It's already pretty dark outside."

Reveler's Road

Via Rotom Phone, after Yukito and Hideko have been defeated

"<player>! How're you two doing out there?! You OK?!"

We're doing OK!: "Yeah? Thank goodness. Just hearing your voice is helping me calm down."

How're you two?: "We're fine over here! Though Penny got herself all spooked and has been kind of a mess."

"We got worried because we hadn't heard from you in a while, so we decided to step outside...and things are WEIRD out here, little buddy. We were attacked by all these folks shouting "Mochi mochi!" at us, and we couldn't spot you anywhere, so I was beginning to fear the worst! We're holding tight by that Peachy's place for the moment, but—"

"Penny, wha—? GYAH!"

"Oh crud, this does NOT look good!"

Mossui Town

At Peachy's

"There you guys are!"

Regardless of choice: "Ah...yeah... Sorry about hanging up on you like that. Probably gave you the wrong impression. It was all Penny's fault. She went into full panic mode and ran smack into me. With her head. So I dropped my phone."

"And just where is this little hallucination of yours? You sure you weren't just seeing stuff?"

"Sure you did..."

"Whoa! Heads up, guys!!! There's something up there!"

"Look! Up there!"

"No... I think it's a Pokémon?"

"Huh? Is this mochi?"

"Whoa! What—?!"

"M...mo...mo..."

"Mochi MOCHI!!!"

"Mochi...MOCHI!"

If the player responded 'Arven!': "Mo... Mochichi!"

"Mo...mochi!"

Before battle

"M-mo...chi!"

In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "Mo...mo!"

After the player or Kieran first lands a super-effective move: "Tch! Chiii..."

???: "Mochi!!!"

Upon being defeated: "Mochiii..."

After being defeated

"Mo..."

If talked to

"M-mo...ff..."

Loyalty Plaza

If talked to before battling Nemona

"Mo...mochi...mochi!"

After the player catches Pecharunt

"<player>! Kieran!"

"The last thing I remember is getting to the shop... What happened?!"

"Seriously? So all that "mochi mochi" stuff was because of some Pokémon?"

"Errr... When did you say that?"

"Anyway, <player> went and caught the thing. As he/she does."

"Wait—what about Nemona?!"

"THAT'S what you want to know?! Sheesh. Glad you're back to normal now, at least."

Mossui Town

In the community center, if talked to

"So we're heading back to Paldea already, huh? We got caught up in a pretty hairy situation, but this trip was still a blast!"

Outside the community center

"Nah, we should be the ones thanking you for showing us such a good time! And the food, man! Everything we ate here was so good!"

"This has been great, seriously... I'm real glad I got to come here and meet you all!"

"And, Kieran... I really am sorry for trying to flex on you the way I did when I first got here."

"O-OK...?"

League Club Room

First visit

"Hey, <player>! I came as quickly as I could—like I’d do any less for my best friend in the whole world!"

"To be honest, I sorta just came ’cause it was you who called and all, but...man, look at this place! Blueberry Academy is something else!"

"Their classes are all battle focused, right? It’s like a whole day full of our old battle studies classes!"

"I’m sure Nemona would love to have gone to school in a place like this, but I’d miss having practical classes like home ec and stuff..."

"If you had to choose just one subject, which do you think you’d pick? Battle studies or home ec?"

Battle studies!: "Ah. Yeah, guess that checks out. You’re the strongest little Champ—you even beat Nemona, after all..."

Home ec!: "Yes! Knew we were two peas in a little pod, bud! Home ec has so many good things to teach you! Try hard, and you can make the best sandwiches!"

"Actually, Director Clavell was telling me that if I do some studying while I’m here, I’ll be able to get some extra credits for our school back home."

"I’d sorta fallen behind on that front, so I’m gonna work hard and rack up those credits!"

Second visit

"Yo, <player>. Just the person I was hoping to talk to... See, I’ve noticed that folks here aren’t really about the picnic and sandwich life. Is that stuff not a big deal here?"

You think it isn’t?! / I’m pretty sure it is...: "What’s that? You made a super-spicy sandwich for one of the Elite Four?"

"Maybe...maybe I’m wrong, then, about people here not caring about sandwiches!"

"See, the thing is, I was whipping up a snack in that Terarium place earlier, and these Blueberry kids all gathered round to watch..."

"They were all staring like they’d never seen anything like it! It was super embarrassing... I was so flustered I ended up just making ’em all sandwiches to eat too..."

That sounds nice!: "It wasn’t nice at all! It was a total hassle! Oh... I guess you mean for the kids who got to eat the sandwiches? Sure, nice for THEM!"

You’re sweet, Arven: "Wha—! A-am not! I’m completely sour! I just couldn’t stand the pressure of all those eyes!"

"But if it’s not that unusual to make sandwiches around here, then why’d they all stare like that? Man, I don’t know if I’m cut out for this place..."

Third visit

"Oh! <player>! I got an update for you! I solved the mystery of why your bud Arven was getting mobbed by those Blueberry kids!"

"So, apparently, the real reason they were all staring was...a case of mistaken identity!"

How’d that come about? / Who’d they think you were?: "I don’t really know, myself..."

"I guess some guy shows up in the Terarium every so often and gives away super-spicy sandwiches? And they all thought I was him?"

"That’s why they were all being so weird, watching me with...expectation, or whatever, in their eyes."

"Who is this mystery fellow that just gives away sandwiches from time to time? I hear they even call him “the spiciest of souls”!"

I might have an idea!: "You know him?! I guess there are all sorts of weird characters at this school, too!"

Boy, I wonder...: "Man, I’ll never solve this mystery! There must be some weird characters at this school!"

"Speaking of weird characters and all...I’ve got a real character I wanted to show you! See, this Skwovet I’ve got has a pretty unusual Ability..."

"So I figured this’d be a good excuse for you and me to trade Pokémon! How ’bout it?"

Yes: "All right! Then I’ll offer up that Skwovet to you. Who’ll you go with, <player>?"

After selecting a Pokémon: "You good to go forward with trading your <Pokémon> for my Skwovet?"

No: "Oh? No good right now, huh? Well, get yourself prepped and come back!"

Talking to him again: "Yo! You ready for that trade now?!"

If the player only has one Pokémon in their party: "Oh, wait—we can’t trade if you’ve only got one Pokémon with you. C’mon, bud, you know that! Bring at least two little guys with you next time!"

After the trade: "<Pokémon>’s a good call! Figures you’d go with a choice like that. I’ll be sure to take real good care of it and make sure it’s happy, along with Mabosstiff and all!"

Rematch

"Mabosstiff’s been beggin’ me for another chance to battle you, you know. What do you say, bud?"

Yes: "Yesss! That’s my best bud! I’m so ready for this!"

No: "Yeah, you must be busy, huh... I get that! Don’t you worry. I’ll make sure Mabosstiff understands why it’s a no this time."

In battle

Upon sending his last Pokémon: "You’re pressing me real hard, but I’ve still got this—’cause I’ve got my loyal partner here!"

Upon Terastallizing his Mabosstiff: "Mabosstiff, you know what’s coming! Shine as bright as anything, bud!"

Upon having Mabosstiff use Crunch: "Bite ’em to pieces with those sturdy molars! Time for all that daily brushing to pay off!"

Upon being defeated: "What a little battle master!"

After player wins first battle

"Sheesh, you’re a little menace in battle, like usual!"

"I tried training up my team so that we wouldn’t lose to you again, but no dice!"

"Oh, and I just remembered—I found these funny phone cases at the airport...so I bought ’em!"

Player receives Sandwich Cases: "I thought of you the moment I saw them! So there—a little present for a great battle!"

After subsequent battles

If defeated by the player: "We might’ve lost, but I’d say Mabosstiff looks real satisfied!"

Player obtains reward: "Thanks for the battle, <player>!"

If defeated the player: "Whoa, no way! Did I actually luck out and get a win on you?! Well, I’ll be a Mankey’s uncle!"

Talking to after rematch

"I sure was shocked to see Toedscool swimming out in the sea in that Terarium dome! I guess they aren’t really Toedscool, but some other Pokémon—still, what a resemblance!"

"That flower petal ice cream they had in Kitakami was a real treat, huh? Though the Academy Pizza they serve in the cafeteria here is real good too!"

"Your mom’s cooking was awesome, <player>! You gotta let me try a sandwich you made sometime, too!"

"That <Pokémon> of yours is always playing with ol’ Mabosstiff and teasing him. Thanks for trading me such a little sweetie!"

"My Greedent just rolled up one day holding a Pokémon Egg, y’know? And that gluttonous Skwovet I traded you is the Pokémon that hatched from that Egg!"

Talking with Carmine

"Special feelings...? Oh! Yeah, you know what--there was something!"

"So, we were all jumping on Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V's back to dive down into the Great Crater, you know?"

"Man, taking a leap into the open air above Area Zero like that--talk about a special feeling!"

Talking with Kieran

"That's right! He and I've been best buds since I was a little kid and he was just a little Maschiff!"

"So is Hydrapple your best bud?"

"Hey, that's fine! There's nothing wrong with thinking every one of your Pokémon is the best!"

Talking with Nemona

"Gah! You're the last person I wanted to find out about that! But...well, yeah! Figured I'd start small and try one now and then, in between school and all."

"No way! There's no way I'm taking it that far! It's just, like...I dunno. I want to be able to stand beside my best bud and feel like I belong there."

"See?! This is why I didn't want you to find out! I knew you'd be like this, you battle maniac!"

Talking with Penny

"You're eating your vegetables, right?! Don't make me tell you again!"

"Seriously? Penny, you do know that you NEED to eat veggies, right? Like--seriously?!"

"Your body could get all...mushy and stuff! Till you might seriously die! I've read about it in books!"

"My...sauce? So if I put some sauce on your veggies, you'll eat them?!"

Talking with Crispin

"So, seriously, why do you always carry that frying pan around?"

"It's not like you can cook while you're sleeping, but...sure?"

"Oh! You noticed? Looks like you're quite the bright little spark yourself! With this handy bag of mine, I can do more than just whip up a meal anytime I want--I'm ready to camp out under the stars anywhere I like!

Talking with Salvatore

"Mr. Salvatore! I didn't realize you were here too!"

"Oh, uh, no... Not really... But since you're here and all, can you help me with some of my homework?!"

"Yeah...I guess you could say that! I've got friends now that I wanna be on the same level with. I don't wanna be dragging them down!"

"Ah, man... I don't think we're understanding one another here, are we?"

Talking with Saguaro

"I think it's really coming along, thanks to some help from <player>! I've been able to make some real standout sandwiches, thanks to all your lessons!"

"Y'know, that stuff you taught in class was really true."

"Like, how making food is better when you do it with someone, and all that. Digging in with my best buds makes food taste so much better than eating alone!"

The Ideal Relationship

"Hold on, Mabosstiff."

"Almost ready, and...there!"

"Here you go! An Arven-original sandwich!"

"Don't eat it too fast, OK?"

"Hm?"

"What're you looking at?"

"Huh?"

A Mysterious Guy From Unova?

"Who are you supposed to be?"

"Uh-huh..."

"You mean his Pokémon cry?"

"You're...kind of strange, aren't you?"

"I mean, sure, Trainers can usually tell what their Pokémon is feeling, more or less..."

"But literally hearing what they're saying is going a bit too far..."

"Umm... Oh, that's right!"

"I, uh...I actually have plans with my friends! Yeah! I'd better hurry! See you later!"

"Let's go, Mabosstiff!"

"I've only just arrived on Pasio, and I'm already tired..."

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

"Haha! That kind of thinking is why you're the student council president."

"Huh. That's an unusually positive opinion, Penny."

"I guess..."

"but when I meet new people, I don't make the best first impression."

"I should probably work on that..."

"Oh, you hungry?"

"Here! Your favorite sandwich!"

"Hehe! It's nutritious, too!"

"I use ingredients that'll perk you right up!"

"Whoa! Where'd you come from?!"

"Hold on a second! I never told you my name! How do you know it?!"

"Love?! World?! What're you talking about?!"

"L-let's go, Mabosstiff!"

Off-screen

"Ahh! Stop following me!"

My Pokémon, My Family

"*pant pant* What's up with that guy?"

"Wahhh?!"

"R-run, Mabosstiff!"

"Th-this oughta be far enough..."

"Mabosstiff!"

"I-I give up... I'm tired of running..."

"Look..."

"I can see that you're probably not a bad person."

"But first things first—could you explain what you meant by that stuff about a world full of love?"

"Don't need Poké Balls? What does that mean?"

"That's...quite a big dream you have there."

"I see. I get what you mean."

"OK, sure. I'll tell you a bit about us."

"When I was younger, I spent a lot of time at home by myself."

"I didn't get much parental attention. Apparently work was more important."

"But Mabosstiff has always been by my side."

"He's basically family... That's how important he is to me."

"Is that the kind of love you're talking about?"

"You too...?"

"No way. I didn't know we were so similar."

"Oh, you hungry? Well then..."

"Hm?"

"Huh?"

"(How does he know that?)"

"(Someone who likes Pokémon could tell if one is hungry or something...)"

"(But that was...)"

"You've only just met Mabosstiff, so how can you tell so clearly how he's feeling?"

"You were serious..."

"Hahaha... You're an interesting guy!"

"Sure! Listen as much as you like!"

A New Friend

Off-screen

"Have you ever used a knife before?! What kind of cut is that?!"

"The heat's too high! Look, it's burning!"

On-screen

"D-don't worry... Everyone starts off like that!"

"We still have enough ingredients! There's no need to give up—let's try again!"

"We did it somehow... I'm exhausted..."

"Your partner's been waiting. Hurry up and give him a taste already!"

"He looks happy!"

"It's nice to do your own cooking sometimes, isn't it?"

"O-OK... You're talking really fast..."

"Formula, huh... They do say cooking is a science."

"Well, if you decide to keep pursuing cooking, I can teach you whenever you want."

"Of course!"

"You and I are buds now! No need to hold back!"

"It means "friends"!"

Off-screen

"It's hard to explain but...I always just took for granted that Mabosstiff liked me..."

"but you gave me proof that he does, and that made me really happy."

On-screen

"That's why..."

"if you consider me and Mabosstiff your friends..."

"then we're already buds!"

"Don't mention it!"

Off-screen, as "???"

"Yo, N!"

On-screen, as Arven

"That's right!"

"We're "buds," aren't we?!"

Story Event - Ancient Visitor

"Ah well. Guess we'd better go find her."

"Didn't we see that in the Great Crater of Paldea?!"

A Paradox Pokémon

"Forget about that! Where the heck did—"

"This isn't some feel-good story about a couple of rough teens becoming friends..."

"What's that...creature doing here in the first place?!"

"...Nemona."

"You do realize that you can't just casually partner up with this Pokémon, right?"

"It's just that this isn't something we can handle by ourselves."

"Well, I mean, it makes sense. It almost never shows itself in front of humans."

"... ... ..."

The Odd and Novel

"So basically you're saying you have no idea."

"I mean, I just assumed that you'd end up working for the Pokémon League..."

"and keep moving forward as a Champion, you know?"

"Hmm... All I can say is that I find it hard to imagine you doing anything other than Pokémon battling."

"I'm gonna be a cook, of course!"

"Then what about you, Penny? Is there something you want to do?"

"If you two are wondering what to do, why don't you try talking to some people who actually do the jobs you're interested in?"

"People with all sorts of different jobs are gathered here on Pasio. I bet you could learn from them."

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Arven

"Yo, <player>! Perfect timing!"

"I just finished cooking. Wanna eat with me?"

Why are you cooking here?: "Heh, I don't blame you for asking."

That looks good!: "Hehe! It's an Arven original, packed full of herbs!"

"I have a reason why I was making this dish."

"When I found this place, memories with Mabosstiff and my buds in Paldea came back to me..."

"I made a sandwich using this rare ingredient called Herba Mystica, and we ate that sandwich together in a cave."

"So before I realized it, I was cooking here, too"

"My Mabosstiff looks all fine and healthy now..."

"but until recently he was in pretty rough shape, since he'd been badly injured."

"It wasn't an average illness or injury, and even Potions and Pokémon Centers were unable to help him."

"But I was desperate to find a way, because I was gonna heal him no matter what."

"After all, Mabosstiff has always been by my side. He's my precious family."

"I tried many different treatments, but none of them really worked."

"I was about to give up, but then I discovered the existence of Herba Mystica!"

"Herba Mystica are super rare ingredients that are very nourishing!"

"With help from my bud, we ran around Paldea looking for Herba Mystica!"

"Our hard work paid off, and we managed to find all of the Herba Mystica, and Mabosstiff is back to full health!"

"As you can see, he's bursting with energy now!"

"He won't stop moaning at me, saying he wants to battle sync pairs on Pasio."

The power of cooking is amazing!: "Mental and physical health both start from the diet! It's really important to eat, you know?"

The Herba Mystica sound really mysterious!: "Yeah! When I first saw the effects I was surprised as well!"

"Look at you all interested in cooking, <player>!"

"I could teach you my secret recipes if you want!"

"You can't find Herba Mystica on Pasio..."

"But it wouldn't hurt to learn the recipes, just in case something happens to your precious partner Pokémon, right?"

"But you have to promise me..."

"when you make the dish, let us be the first ones to taste it!"

"Whoops, got a bit long-winded there. Anyway, enough talk..."

"Let's get down to eating!"

Pokémon Center

During sync background preview

"Whoa! I can't believe it! The power of these herbs really is worth guarding!"

Random conversation

"I'm all about that picnic life: the great outdoors, the perfectly prepared sandwiches, all of it. Not half bad at cooking either, I can tell you."

"That's why I decided I'm gonna be a cook! I'm gonna keep working on my skills on Pasio as well!"

"It's perfect since there're some really fantastic cooks here!"

Random conversation

"Sandwiches bring back all kinds of memories."

"Memories like my buds enjoying my food, and the fun times spent with my special treasure..."

"And lots of other things too, like a certain Pokémon being a little too greedy!"

Random conversation

"I've been doing a bit of studying here and there lately, both about cooking and other things, too."

"Finding out stuff you didn't know about is actually pretty fun."

"*sigh* If I knew it was gonna be like this, I wouldn't have skipped school..."

Random conversation

"Pasio has a mix of cultures from different regions, so I might find something interesting here!"

"Maybe even something better than the Herba Mystica I found in Paldea..."

"Some hidden ingredient that can make people and Pokémon feel better could be buried somewhere—like treasure!"

Random conversation

"You seem to be the type that's good at Pokémon battling, <player>."

"Maybe you could train me sometime. If you don't mind..."

"Oh, and of course I'll do you a favor in return!"

"I'll cook you anything you want!"

Random conversation

"In Paldea, I asked for help from my buds to make my dream a reality..."

"but I also got a lot of help from Pokémon I caught on the way."

"I can't talk about my adventure without mentioning them!"

If spoken to again

"Each Pokémon is unique, and I have loads of memories with them and my buds, so..."

"I'm pretty attached to these Pokémon now!"

Random conversation
