In the core series games

Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Mission 1 - "In an Unfamiliar Land"

Jubilife Village (The Wallflower)

"Well now, aren't you awfully suspicious?"

"The Wallflower's for Galaxy Team folk only. We don't have seats for outsiders. Move along!"

• After the player meets Cyllene

"Does the Survey Corps really have the leeway to be enjoying a leisurely meal with this outsider?"

"Your captain just ordered 10 whole portions of potato mochi, you know. The slow progress on that Pokédex of yours clearly has her on edge."

Jubilife Village (The Wallflower)

• If talked to before starting the trial during Mission 2

"They say hunger is the best seasoning, but I'd rather rely on the quality of my Sootfoot Roots to make my potato mochi tasty."

• After the player defeats/catches the alpha Kricketune

"Have you all heard the grave news? That frenzied Kleavor from the rumors... It ended up mauling some of our Galaxy folks who went out to investigate it this morning. The Medical Corps has had a hard time getting all the injured back on their feet..."

• After the player quells Kleavor's frenzy

"The whole village is gossiping up a storm about our young friend here, you know. He's/She's got quite some luck to have come back unharmed after facing off against that Kleavor."

Mission 8 - "Arezu's Predicament"

Galaxy Hall (Kamado's office)

"<player>! We have a situation here!"

"Last I saw, she was at the Wallflower, polishing off a big ol' plate of potato mochi. Not that I blame her—my cooking is simply irresistible, after all."

Jubilife Village (Floaro Main Street)

• After the player quells Lilligant's frenzy

"Found her by the scent of my mochi, did you? Of course you did. When you have my level of skill, your handiwork can be recognized from a mile away."

"Remember to be thankful for getting to eat such masterful mochi when you come for dinner later."

"But first, don't you owe Kamado a report? Your meal can wait."

Jubilife Village (The Wallflower)

• During post-mission briefing

• After completing Mission 8

"There you go. Piping-hot potato mochi, fresh from the stove."

• After completing Mission 10

"If you notice that today's potato mochi taste a bit different, well, that's because I used a Pokémon's flames to roast 'em! Bon appétit!"

• After completing Mission 11

"Dinner's on Kamado tonight. Eat your fill!"

• If talked to after receiving Mission 17

"At what point does a stranger become one of us? I wonder where that boundary lies..."

Mission 17 - "Atop Mount Coronet"

Coronet Highlands (Stone Portal)

• Before battle

"Oho. Still alive and kicking?"

"Sorry about having to shutter the Wallflower. I'd much rather be there now, serving up some freshly grilled potato mochi."

"But that taskmaster Kamado's gone and left me to oversee our food supply. He always finds a way to put even these old bones to work..."

"While I'm handling that, I suppose I'll handle you as well. Time we got rid of you once and for all."

Regardless of choice: "I'll make myself plain. As Kamado's right hand, I'm charged with executing all the gritty deeds Kamado can't or won't do himself. I gave him my word I'd get rid of any fools that might dream of getting in the way of his plans."

"And besides, it's not just Kamado who longs to live in a new home free of fear or strife. His dream is mine now, too."

"You've seen my Smoke Bombs before, right? Well, this is how you're meant to use them!"

"When I heard you managed to quell those nobles one after another, oh, did it ever make my blood run hot and my heart pound... At last...at last..."

"One final opponent worthy of my great ninja techniques that have been left to molder all these long years!"

• Upon being defeated

"It seems my ninja techniques will soon be consigned to history..."

• After being defeated

"Very good, young one. Very good indeed."

"It's only a foolish ninja who tried to keep after a target they know they cannot beat..."

"And to be honest, I don't hate you. Might actually like you, after a fashion. At least for the skill you show in battle. But listen well, <player>: Pokémon are truly terrifying creatures."

"Kamado and I saw our hometown burned to the ground by maddened Pokémon running amok—we lost plenty of friends and comrades that day. That's why Kamado came here to Hisui to try to build a new home where people could live free from fear. But to achieve something truly great, you sometimes have to take extreme actions."

"If—hypothetical as it may be—a Pokémon were to appear from within that space-time rift... Kamado might lose hold of his reason."

"Save Kamado from himself. By force, if you must."

"Do that, and I'll stuff you full of more delicious potato mochi than a human stomach can handle."

Jubilife Village (The Wallflower)

• If the player has Sootfoot Roots in their satchel

"Ah. I see what you have there. Oh...sorry. I couldn't help but notice you have something I need. Sootfoot Roots are the main ingredient for my potato mochi. Can't get enough of 'em."

"Think you could part with those Sootfoot Roots you've got? You've collected <number>, right? I'll buy them off you for <price> each."

I'll sell you 1/10/50/all I've got: "Much obliged! Here's your coin, as promised. Come speak with me again if you find more."

I'll keep 'em, thanks: "Well, that's your choice. I just hope I've enough ingredients for tonight's potato mochi..."

• If talked to after completing the main story

"I did what I came to do here in Hisui. Now I suppose it's time for me to head someplace with a more agreeable climate."

Jubilife Village (Photography studio)

• In normal clothing

"I'm collecting keepsakes of the people who ate the most potato mochi! Come on, you! Let's get a snap of the two of us."

• In ninja attire

"A ninja's clothes are meant to blend in and hide. I'm testing to see if they show up in photographs. Want to take a photo with me while I'm at it?"

Jubilife Village (Training grounds)

• Regular Pokémon battle

• Before battle

"Doesn't matter to me who wins and who loses. I'm here to show you how a ninja fights—the style of a dying breed!"

• Upon being defeated

"It seems my ninja techniques will soon be consigned to history..."

• After being defeated

"S'pose I'll go prepare some potato mochi. I'd probably better start coming up with some new dishes, or everyone will get sick of these..."

• Path of Tenacity (Galaxy Team)

• Before battle

"I don't usually go about picking battles I can't win, but I'm doing this for Kamado's sake. I won't hold back!"

• Upon being defeated

"A training match to help each other become the best we can be... I'll take that over a messy battle any day."
