Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Naranja^S/Uva^V Academy

• Outside the academy

"... ... ..."

"...Not really."

"Um... I'd rather not..."

• After the Team Star grunts are defeated

"Um...'scuse me!"

"I...uh... I just... Well, thanks. So, yeah... See you around."

• In the cafeteria*

"...This is <player>, correct? I hacked your smartphone so I could talk to you. Hope you don't mind."

What do you mean, "hacked"?: "Well, as far as you're concerned, it means I'm basically in control of your phone right now."

"My name's Cassiopeia. But never mind that—it's you I want to talk about. I hear you're a Trainer with serious potential. If that description is accurate, there's something I'd like to ask of you. Tell me, <player>... You know about Team Star, right?"

Yes: "Great. I appreciate you being up-front here."

No: "Nice try, but I know for a fact you've already crossed paths with them."

"Team Star is a group of troublemakers formed by some academy students a while back... They cause headaches for the school and try to bring other students down to their level. And I refuse to sit idly by and let them get away with it!"

"So I've come up with a plan to bring down Team Star and force them to disband for good. I call it...Operation Starfall! But I'll need allies to carry out this operation...and I'd like you to be one of them."

Regardless of choice: "No need to reply right this second. We can discuss the details some other time. Till then, I'll leave you to it. Bye."

Mesagoza*

"Hey, <player>. Cassiopeia here. It's about Operation Starfall. Remember what I told you before? Team Star is made up of five individual squads. And each one's got their own base. I need you to go to each base—all five of 'em—and beat the squad boss there. Team Star's grunts might try to get in your way, but I'll be helping you out...from a distance. And heads-up that the bosses each specialize in a different Pokémon type. Just remember the names of their crews, and you'll figure it out. Still, no need to worry. With your skills, I'm sure you're more than up to the task. I'll just go ahead and add the bases' locations to your phone for you."

"Good luck with those bosses. I'll hook you up with some nice rewards every time you beat one."

"I thought it was up to <player> to decide whether he/she goes or not... Wasn't that what you said, Nemona? And Arven?"

"I'm looking forward to seeing what you can pull off, <player>. Bye."

Team Star bases

• Approaching the first Team Star base*

"Cassiopeia here. I see you're getting close to one of Team Star's bases. I take it this means you've decided to join my operation?"

Regardless of choice: "Thank you. With this, you're officially a member of Operation Starfall!"

"Wha—? Who are you?"

"Oh? And how long have you been spying on us?"

"We're talking about going up against Team Star here. It's not something you can join in for fun."

"... ... ... I suppose I'm hardly in a position to refuse help. Welcome to the operation, Clive."

"Team Star and I...share some history. That's all I'll say for now."

"Good. Now, back to business—let's talk Operation Starfall."

"Simply put, I want you to raid each one of Team Star's bases. Then you'll defeat the bosses of the team...and put an end to their rule!"

"That's right. Team Star is made up of five squads, and each of those squads has its own base. You should be able to see the front gates of one of those bases now, in fact."

"On the other side of those is the base proper. And somewhere within that base lies one of your targets: a squad boss."

"Well, that's just the outline. The key to the whole operation is the code that the team has to follow. If someone challenges one of the squad bosses to a battle, they have no choice but to accept. And what's more, if they just so happen to lose that battle...they must forfeit their role as boss altogether! I went ahead and issued challenges to each base under your name, <player>. They're basically declarations of war. Now all of Team Star knows that we're looking for a fight."

"The rest of the team crumbles with no one left to lead them. That's what happens. It's a solid plan, but not without wrinkles. Each base has a bunch of Pokémon inside to fend off intruders, and the bases themselves are a considerable size. Your garden-variety Trainer would be overrun long before they'd get anywhere near the boss. That's why your skills are essential to this operation, <player>. Defeat the Pokémon inside the base, and drag the boss out from where they're hiding. First things first, though—you'll need to deal with any grunts that might be guarding the front gates."

"Like I said before, I have a history with Team Star. That means I can't operate out in the open. I'll back you up from afar."

"Sorry, but I don't trust you completely just yet... For now, I'd like you to monitor the bases and act as <player>'s support."

"I'll be in touch with you again when the plan advances to the next stage. Good hunting out there."

• Approaching the second Team Star base*

"It's Cassiopeia. Can you hear me?"

"I see you're coming up to one of Team Star's bases. Was there...someone with you just now?"

Regardless of choice: "Well...be warned that Team Star will have its guard up after losing one boss to you already. This base won't go down as easily as the last one. Proceed with extreme caution. I'll be in touch."

• Approaching the fifth Team Star base*

"I see you're almost at the fifth base... Holed up inside there is Team Star's last remaining squad. You've fought well to make it this far. Thank you, <player>."

"So you made it as well, Clive."

"Clive...I owe you my thanks. Your help has been invaluable to the operation. I'm sorry I was so wary of you at first..."

"Not quite. We'll still need to handle Team Star's secret mastermind last of all."

"I'm hoping they'll come out into the open once all the squad bosses have stepped down."

"We've come so far. Only a few more steps left... Don't let me down, either of you."

• After defeating the bases' respective gate guard*

Segin Squad's Base: "I see you took care of the guards. Nice work. Now, holed up in that base is Team Star's Dark crew—the Segin Squad. Their boss, Giacomo, pretty much runs the whole of Team Star, and he also produced that wild soundtrack of theirs himself. He's a sharp guy. Even our declaration of war won't have ruffled him in the slightest. His plan is probably to wear you down with a wave of grunts, then finish you off himself. No use trying to outthink strategic types like him. Bring him down with a head-on attack! Just keep on defeating as many grunts as you can until the big man himself shows up."

Schedar Squad's Base: "I see you dealt with the grunt standing guard. Nice work. Stationed inside that base is Team Star's Fire crew—the Schedar Squad. Their boss, Mela, is the best all-rounder of the team. She fixes any and every problem thrown her way, though her methods are...heavy-handed. Our declaration of war must have made her blood boil. I bet even now, her grunts are hard at work inside the base, trying to keep her fury under control. That means your best move is to take down all the grunts nice and quick. Once there's no one left to help Mela keep her cool, she should come out to confront you."

Navi Squad's Base: "Nice work dealing with the guard. Within that base lies Team Star's Poison crew...the Navi Squad. Their boss, Atticus, designs the outfits for the team—you could say he has clever hands. The guy's also...a bit of an eccentric. You can never tell what he's going to do next. So. Since it's beyond us to predict how he'll respond to our declaration of war...just take out as many of the squad's Pokémon as you can until Atticus shows his face."

Ruchbah Squad's Base: "I see the guard has been dealt with. Good job. That base belongs to Team Star's Fairy crew—the Ruchbah Squad. Their boss, Ortega, is the mechanic of the team. He may be the youngest of the bosses, but his battle skills are no joke. Underestimate him, and things'll go south for you quickly. He's also a real "lead from the back" type—he gets his grunts to do all the dirty work for him. But his weak point is his short fuse. Get him good and angry, and he'll march out to the front lines to deal with you himself. In terms of tactics...there's nothing else for it but to take down all the lackeys he sends your way. Just tough it out until Ortega shows up, and go from there."

Caph Squad's Base: "I take it you defeated the guard out front. That base is run by Team Star's Fighting crew—the Caph Squad. Their boss, Eri, is a skilled wrestler and coaches the whole of Team Star in Pokémon battling. Of all the bosses, she'll likely be the most alert after our declaration of war. She might try to stop this raid in its tracks by challenging you to battle before anyone else."

Regardless of choice: "I knew it! Tell me what happened!"

"She...retreated?! We're talking about the same Eri, right? Well...it seems there's nothing for it now but to attack the base head on."

"Ring the bell on the gates once you're ready to kick off this phase of the operation. Time to wipe the <squad name> Squad off the map!"

• After defeating the boss*

"<player>... It's me."

First base: "It seems <boss> no longer carries his/her Star Badge, the symbol of his/her status as a boss... He/She gave it to you, did he/she?"

Second base: "I take it that <boss>'s Star Badge is now in your possession?"

Third base: "<boss>'s Star Badge is now yours, then?"

Fourth base: "I take it that <boss> handed over his/her Star Badge to you, then?"

Fifth base: "Did you do it? Did you claim <boss>'s Star Badge?"

"I see."

Segin Squad's Base: "With its boss out of the picture, the Segin Squad is pretty much done for."

Schedar Squad's Base: "Now that there's no boss to lead them, the rest of the Schedar Squad shouldn't last long."

Navi Squad's Base: "Now that its boss has been taken down, the Navi Squad's days are numbered."

Ruchbah Squad's Base: "With its boss no longer around, the Ruchbah Squad is as good as finished."

Caph Squad's Base: "Without its boss, the Caph Squad should be a hair's breadth from disbanding."

"... ... ... Oh, <boss>.../<boss>.../Now <boss>, too.../Even <boss>.../So <boss> was the last..."

First base: "Sorry. Got caught up in my thoughts for a second."

Second base: "Sorry, I got distracted for a second there again..."

Third base: "Sorry, I've got a lot on my mind right now... So, Operation Starfall. You've taken down all but two bases, so it's fair to say it's going well. This seems like a good time to let you know what we're ultimately aiming to achieve. Our final goal...is to defeat the mastermind that first recruited the five squad bosses and created Team Star. The one they call the big boss."

Regardless of choice: "Who knows? They control the five squad bosses from the shadows... That's all anyone can say. If we defeat this person and get them to declare the team disbanded, that'll be it for Team Star. Since the big boss never set up their own base and keeps their identity hidden, I take it they're not one for the spotlight. But once all the squad bosses are out of action, the big boss'll finally have to take the stage."

Fourth base: "I'm sorry... We're almost there now. Just one boss left. The operation's been a huge success thanks to you, <player>. And Clive has also performed admirably as your support. I remember him saying that you're acquaintances. Have you known each other long?"

Regardless of choice: "Well, he's clearly a reliable friend. He almost reminds me of the gang back in the day..."

Regardless of choice: "...As you know, Team Star was formed by a group of students who were being bullied at school. Shortly after forming the team, these students—none other than the squad bosses themselves—confronted their bullies head on. The outcome was a resounding victory for Team Star... Though you could hardly call it a contest. The bullies didn't even put up a fight. They all bolted from battle the first chance they got. Scared spitless of Team Star, the bullies then dropped out of school, one after another... And Team Star ended up the villains of the story. ...But that's neither here nor there. Forget I mentioned it."

Fifth base: "All five squad bosses have now been toppled from their pedestals. I imagine they'll leave Team Star before long now that they've lost their special positions. After that, they should soon be back attending classes at the academy."

"Is that Clive I hear?"

"Thanks."

"Now, about your reward, <player>. I'll transfer some LP over to your phone, as promised."

First base: "I took the liberty of adding some new entries to the range of TMs you can make at TM Machines. These new TMs should help you improve your Pokémon's battle capabilities even further. In any case...you did some solid work out there. So much so that you deserve an extra reward. Someone from my supply unit will be there soon to give you some materials for making TMs."

Second base: "Use those new TMs to strengthen your Pokémon even further. I'll have my supply unit rep meet you shortly to deliver some bonus materials, too."

Third base: "Have your Pokémon learn strong moves so that they can continue to be of use to the operation. My supply unit rep should be with you soon."

Fourth base: "Make good use of those TMs. They should help you take down the last remaining boss. My supply unit rep will be along soon to give you your bonus reward."

Fifth base: "Indeed. You can go ahead and give <player> his/her bonus reward now."

"At long last, Operation Starfall has entered its final stage. There's only one thing left on the agenda. You must defeat the big boss...and have Team Star disband for good!"

Regardless of choice: "Don't worry—there's no need to search them out. The true identity of the big boss...is none other than me. I'm sorry... I didn't mean to keep it from you for so long, but the right moment never came. I'm the one who formed Team Star. Back then, the members of the team were my closest friends...and I treasured them more than anything. If they go on like this, Team Star won't do any good for anyone. They've got to give it up. So I'm using the code we made together to force them to disband. <player>... I'll be waiting for you in the schoolyard after dark. You should come as well, Clive."

"Then I'll see you both there."

• After the first Team Star boss is defeated

"H-hello... I'm Penny...from the supply unit. You probably don't remember, but you got me out of a tight spot by the school stairs..."

I was glad to help!: "Oh! So you do remember..."

Did I...?: "That figures. I never leave an impression on people..."

"But, um. I'm helping out with Operation Starfall as part of my independent study... You know, the Treasure Hunt. I'm good with machines and hacking and stuff, so I'll be working behind the scenes. So...here you go. Your bonus reward from Cassiopeia."

"You should be able to make a ton of TMs with those. And Cassiopeia said you'll get more rewards each time you take out one of Team Star's bases. Also, um...I heard all about how you had your Pokémon charge into battle. Seems you were pretty amazing. With a Trainer as strong as you on our side, I'm sure the operation will go just fine. There's four more squad bosses left, so, um...good luck..."

• After the second Team Star boss is defeated

"H-hello! It's me again, from the supply unit..."

"Wah! What the heck—?!"

"Hey, stop that!"

"S-somebody heeelp!!!"

"Blech... It drooled all over me. What even IS that Pokémon anyway?"

It's really awesome!: "Errr, I guess that's one word for it... Wait, is it really that special?"

I have no idea what it is: "Huh? I'm amazed you're so calm with a giant question mark of a Pokémon at your side..."

"Ah, um, but before I forget... Here's your reward."

"Um...your name's <player>, right? Since you're part of Operation Starfall's battle unit, can I ask you something? What do you think of Team Star?"

Regardless of choice: "Interesting..."

"You know, some of the rumors say Team Star wasn't always a bunch of delinquents. Most of them used to be victims of bullying, or they just found it hard to interact with people... But then these misfits and outsiders found each other and banded together to form Team Star. All they wanted to do was push back against the bullies they couldn't face alone... But, uh, that's just info I got by hacking other students' social media accounts. I also found talk about some secret mastermind behind the five bosses—someone who recruited them to the team in the first place... Hm. I don't normally talk this much. Now my throat kinda hurts... So, um, good luck—with taking down the other bases and stuff."

• After the third Team Star boss is defeated

"H-hey there, <player>... That, uh...sounded like a pretty serious phone call."

"Uwagh! I wasn't talking to you!"

"Aaarrrggghhh!"

"So, that mastermind you were talking about... Cassiopeia's mentioned them to me, too. Team Star's founder... The person who's caused all kinds of misery at the academy... If we don't take them down, I'll lose what I treasure most in the world."

Regardless of choice: "Ah, no—I just... Um...that's right! You need your reward! Here—take it before I forget."

"All right, well, I'll be off, then..."

"Oh, and <player>...? Don't lose to those guys."

• After the fourth Team Star boss is defeated

"Um...here I am..."

"Gwah! Stay in your Poké Ball for once, will you!"

"Aaarrrggghhh!!!"

"Wow... Team Star went through all that, huh. They just wanted the bullies to go away, but then they became the bad guys in everyone's eyes... What a joke. The students, the teachers—they're all so messed up. If even just one of them had been paying attention when everyone was getting bullied...they'd have been able to tell right away that Team Star wasn't the one in the wrong. But I guess the big boss was the one who urged everybody to face their bullies despite knowing how messed up the academy is. What a massive idiot, creating Team Star and just hoping their plan would miraculously work out."

Regardless of choice: "I'm sure of it. Well, here's your reward."

"The next boss is the very last one. We're counting on you, <player>..."

Naranja^S/Uva^V Academy

• In the schoolyard

"<player>..."

"Thanks for coming."

"Heh. This must be quite a shock for you. The big boss... Cassiopeia... They were both me all along. When I saw you make quick work of those Team Star lackeys outside school that time, the idea for Operation Starfall suddenly came to me. My skills let me get hold of as much LP as I want, so I decided to use that to tempt you to helping me out. After the operation started, I kept an eye on you as a member of the "supply unit"... And I had you battle the bosses on my behalf. All for the goal of defeating me and putting an end to Team Star once and for all. But still...there's a part of me that wants Team Star to live on! I can't just roll over and let you win without putting up a fight! This is the final showdown. Are you ready?"

I'm ready: "Thanks."

"That voice... Are you Clive?"

"In the flesh. I've a task for you, Clive, if you'll accept it."

"I want you to record what happens next so I can send the video to Team Star. They need to see the outcome of this battle for themselves."

• Before battle

"Then allow me to introduce myself properly..."

"I'm the big boss of Team Star. The name's Cassiopeia—"

"No...Penny!"

"Now, bow down before the overwhelming might of Team Star's founder!"

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "I won't hold back in this battle! I'll stay true to Team Star's code!"

Upon sending out her last Pokémon: "I can't fault you on your battle skills at all. No wonder the bosses fell at your hands."

Upon Terastallizing her Sylveon: "Time to Terastallize! Shine bright like the starry sky and become who you really want to be!"

Upon first using Sylveon's Moonblast: "My Veevee power will crush you into stardust!"

Upon being defeated: "...It's all over now."

• In a flashback after being defeated*

"We're done here. I think we should call it quits."

"We got carried away with Operation Star... Now everything's gotten out of hand."

"But the bullies made a huge stink about what went down, and then they all ended up leaving the academy. Our plan backfired epically. There's no way we're getting off scot-free."

"I'll fix this mess on my end. Just leave it to me."

"I'm the one who started Team Star. I dragged you all into this. So I'll take responsibility for everything."

"Now that the bullies are gone, you guys should start going to school again."

"I can't go back..."

"All I can say to you guys is...thanks. Even though we never met in person, you were all so kind to me..."

"I need to go take care of some things."

"... ... ..."

"Bye-bye, guys... Thanks for everything."

• After the flashback

"Thanks for everything, <player>. And you too, Clive..."

"I guess this is it for Team Star...and me, too—"

"Check...what?"

"I tried telling the bosses that we were done once before. But they still didn't quit..."

"Our code states that no one in the team has the right to order people around. I could ask them all to do stuff, but I could never order them."

"They did. That's why I knew I could use it to force Team Star to disband."

"Yes... And according to the code, they had to accept any challenge made to them."

"... ... ... They're..."

"They're my greatest treasure."

"Wha—?"

"Hey, quit it with the old geezer act, Clive! You're creeping me out..."

"D-Director Clavell?!"

"But... But why?!"

"Yeah, but...where do I even start? Wasn't the outfit a bit much? Plus I have some big feelings about that wig..."

"Huh?"

"Momo..."

"Mellie..."

"Atticus..."

"Ortie..."

"Eri..."

"...Come again?"

"Wha—? I still don't... I mean... Why?"

"B-but...I betrayed all of you..."

"But—! Even so..."

"Community...service?"

"Aaand that stands for...?"

"Um...no? It sounds like fun, so I don't see how this'd be anything but a win-win..."

"You guys..."

"<player>...what do you think?"

Regardless of choice: "Huh? B-but—! Ummm... I just..."

• In the director's office

"Um... It's Penny."

"H-hello, Director."

"About the STCs... I'd like to work on them together with the rest of Team Star."

"But, um...I...I should be punished more heavily than the others, I think..."

"No, not that. Because of the other really bad thing I did..."

"Um... Y'know the LP I gave you both in exchange for helping me with Operation Starfall...? I got hold of it sort of...illegally...by hacking the Pokémon League's LP management system."

"It wasn't all that har— Errr, I mean...I'm really sorry and I won't do it again."

"I figured as much..."

• Outside the academy

"<player>...?"

Cassiopeia?: "No... Not anymore."

"There's something I want to talk to you about. Could you come meet me in front of the school stairs? Y'know, where we first met? I'll be waiting..."

• In front of the stairs of the academy

"Hasta la vistar... ☆"

"The six of us thought up that catchphrase back when we created the team. It's so cringey it's perfect, you know? Anyway...about the LP thing. I thought I was going down big-time for hacking the League Point system, but they're letting me off easy..."

Regardless of choice: "The Pokémon League said they'll waive my debt if I do some volunteer engineering for them. They even asked me to come work for them after I graduate, if you can believe that. Director Clavell and that Geeta lady kept complimenting me, like, a weird amount. Apparently, I have "outstanding talent" or something... ... ... ... Sorry for calling you out here to meet like this. I'm still not so great with people face-to-face... I never seem to find the right words, but, um..."

"Th-thank you...so much. You saved Team Star—and my friends along with it. I know words won't ever be enough to properly thank you for all you've done, so here..."

"I'm sure you'll put this to good use. And one more thing... I want to repay the debt I owe you. If you ever think of a way I can do that, just let me know. I'm great with machines and hacking and stuff... So next time, I'll be the one helping you, <player>."

"Be seeing you, then. Hasta la vistar! ☆"

Zero Gate

"I...I turned them on."

"Seems like they were on power-saving mode."

"I hacked into the system controls and overrode the settings..."

"Um...I guess? My name's Penny."

"Urk. You talk, like...way too much..."

"I'm not really the adventuring type...but I owe you, <player>. And I pay my debts."

"Uh... Sorry, who are you?"

"Arven, did you...uh...tell your mom^S/dad^V about us?"

"Are they...not on good terms?"

• If spoken to

"Sada^S/Turo^V used to be really famous. Everyone knew who she^S/he^V was. But she^S/he^V hasn't been in the media in, like...ages."

• Upon entering the next room

"Not quite... Looks to me like someone's controlling this thing remotely."

"What? Isn't there, like, an elevator or something? And wait, did you say Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V can fly?!"

"That girl... Is she, like, incapable of fear or what?"

• If spoken to

"I can't see anything but clouds... How far down do you think it goes?"

• Before flying down

"How does that logic work?"

Area Zero

"Hah...hah... I think I might've died once or twice there..."

"It...chose to go back into its ball?"

"Wha—? She's gone! You don't think she...?"

"I guess your Ability would be Own Tempo, huh..."

"I think your mom's^S/dad's^V sarcasm detector needs fixing..."

"Four locks?"

• While walking

"So this is the inside of the Great Crater of Paldea—Area Zero... Feels different from just seeing it in our textbooks. It's so intense..."

"Can we even get back up to the surface without it?"

"Why didn't you just call the professor, if she's^S/he's^V down here? Don't get along or something?"

"Geez, no need to bite my head off. What're you getting all huffy for anyway?"

"Huh? Well, uh... I guess he/she just really came through for me when I needed him/her. Everything was going off the rails. School was a mess, and my friendships...well, ditto. <player> was a big help getting all that sorted out."

"What about you then, Nemona?"

"Wait, what?! That's wild..."

"Um, nobody asked you. Stop trying to flex on us."

• Approaching Research Station No. 1

"...Research stations."

"What's great is my common sense compared to you lot, apparently..."

"Gyah! What the heck is THAT?!"

• After the wild Glimmora is defeated

"Wow, patronizing much?"

• At Research Station No. 1

"They look far too recent for that."

• If spoken to

"I wanted to check out the other rooms, but the doors are busted. So, yeah. This is going great."

• While walking

"Oh? Is it time for the backstory reveal?"

"... ... ..."

"Oh, uh... But... We're not here to judge or anything... And...I'm sorry about earlier. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that..."

"Penny. My name's Penny."

"Heh... Don't call me pipsqueak, you big lunk."

"You're real tactless sometimes, Nemona. You know that?"

• Approaching Research Station No. 2

"The second research station! About time, too."

"Hey, look—a Jigglypuff^S/Delibird^V! It's good to see some nice, familiar Pokémon down here too."

"Ohmygosh! So cute..."

"What the—?! Waaaaaaaaagh!!!"

"<player>! It's battle time!"

• After the wild Scream Tail^S/Iron Bundle^V is defeated

"Seriously, what WAS that? Darn thing scared me half to death..."

"Come on, let's get inside already. One more jump scare like that and I'm done for..."

• At Research Station No. 2

"Hey... Seriously, what's with this place? That Pokémon..."

"Huh? What's that book?"

""Monsters of Area Zero"?!"

"Oh, come on. There's no way that's possible..."

"But...a time machine? You mean you can actually travel to and from the past^S/future^V?"

"Well, THAT'S horrifying..."

• If spoken to

"Seriously, a time machine? Feels like we just stumbled into a sci-fi novel or something..."

• While walking

"Are you serious? Even I know about your dad. He's on the board of the Rotom Phone company!"

"Everyone knows that. He's famous. And I guess I looked into him for my own reasons, too."

"That is some pampered little princess stuff right there."

"M...my family is...unbelievably annoying..."

"It's just my dad! He's loud and clingy and makes up weird nicknames for me, like "Pen-pen." He's the most annoying guy in the world! Period! He's the worst!"

"Don't you dare take his side!"

• Approaching Research Station No. 3

"Something's gonna jump out at us again... One hundred percent guaranteed."

"Huh?"

"See? SEE?!"

• After the wild Great Tusk^S/Iron Treads^V is defeated

"Uh, if we've got things from literal ancient times^S/the literal future^V roaming around Paldea, that's a major problem... Isn't Professor Sada^S/Turo^V doing anything to keep them under control? How could she^S/he^V let this happen?"

• At Research Station No. 3

"Hmmm..."

"Hm? Oh, no, it's not that."

"I've just been thinking ever since the professor mentioned that time machine..."

"The Pokémon here in Area Zero came to our time from the past^S/future^V, right? So what about Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V? Isn't it pretty likely that it's also one of those ancient^S/future^V Pokémon?"

"Well, that makes sense, I guess... They do look alike."

"A heartwarming family reunion...?"

• If spoken to

"These plot twists really tug at the heartstrings, don't they? Not that I'm complaining."

• While walking

"Um. It still won't come out of its Poké Ball."

"Guess that makes sense if it's a Pokémon from a different age..."

"That seems to be the story."

"I guess this place should be familiar to it, sure."

"... ... ... Given how Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V was acting earlier... I think something bad happened to it here. Sometimes you get all shaky just seeing a place that you've got bad memories of... It was the same for me when I was being ignored by everyone in my class. Just thinking of school made me want to hide away somewhere... So I know how it feels."

"We can't know for sure, but...it doesn't change into its battle form anymore, right? So I think it's possible."

"...Seriously? Well, at least you said it and not one of us."

• Approaching the cliff

"One slip and we can kiss our short lives good-bye..."

"Is it just me, or do the crystals here give off the same glow as when Pokémon Terastallize? There's gotta be some sort of connection..."

• At Research Station No. 4

"It looks like something went berserk in here."

"Gah! Professor! Y-you scared us."

"Stop that! You're creeping us out!"

"If she^S/he^V meant it as a joke, it wasn't funny. I've still got goosebumps and all..."

• If talked to

"Have you disabled the lock yet? I'm all for leaving this place as soon as we can."

• While walking

"Th-there was definitely something off about the professor just now, right?"

"What? That got you...jazzed?"

"You need to go see a doctor! That's just not right."

• Approaching the Zero Lab

"Heh. Yeah, right. That's just fluff they write to fill the textbooks."

"But wait...why does it look like the whole place is being swallowed up by crystals?"

"Don't be silly, Arven."

"The professor implied something important about Tera Orbs just now. They're made from the crystals down here in Area Zero...aren't they?"

• Opening the Zero Lab

"Uhhh... But it hasn't even wanted to let us ride it ever since we came down to Area Zero. And it can't enter its battle form in the first place!"

"Hmmm... I dunno..."

"No... Something's not right!"

"Are you joking?!"

"There was nothing heartwarming about it!"

"We were THIS close to getting caught up in a nasty brawl!"

"Just look at Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V. Poor thing's terrified... Guess that other one isn't exactly its pal."

"Do you think that other Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V was one of the "dangerous Pokémon" the professor warned us to watch out for?"

"There's no way we can handle this many! And don't tell me...they're all ancient^S/future^V Pokémon?!"

• After the player and Nemona defeat an escaping Great Tusk^S/Iron Treads^V

"I'm glad you're on our side, but you're still REALLY annoying when you say stuff like that!"

"Gyah! Why're they coming at ME?!"

"<player>! Help me out here!"

• After she and the player defeat an escaping Brute Bonnet^S/Iron Hands^V

"Guh. The ancient past must've been^S/future must be^V terrifying..."

"Yeah, and?"

"Why me?!"

"Gah! Hold on, Nemona—and why do I get the feeling you're enjoying all this?"

Zero Lab

"What is this?!"

"Wh-wh-whoa! What's going on now?"

• While the player is battling the Paradise Protection Protocol

"Gyah! Some crazy electrical signal is jamming our Poké Balls! Even I can't get them open!"

"Th-this looks like it could be bad! Uh...hang in there, <player>!"

"H-hey, <player>! Your Tera Orb's glowing!"

"Show 'em you won't be pushed around! Time to Terastallize and get in some supereffective hits!"

• After the Paradise Protection Protocol is defeated

"It-it's not going berserk anymore?"

"Your own treasure..."

"That's... That's OK."

"If it tries to nudge at me for a belly rub while it's huge like this...I seriously think I'm gonna die."

"Th-that's right! You both did amazing! Thanks, <player>!"

"You know, Arven... Um... Even though the professor's gone... I bet she's^S/he's^V finally having a real fun adventure of her^S/his^V own in the past^S/future^V."

"Um... Yeah. Sorry."

Leaving Area Zero

"What is it?"

"Sounds great! If we can load up on snacks first, I'm in."

Naranja^S/Uva^V Academy

• In the director's office

"We’re in for an earful, aren’t we."

"Phew... So we’re not getting raked over the coals after all."

"Classic Nemona."

"Aaactually, I think she’s the chairwoman of the school board as well as of the Pokémon League..."

"Um. But...there’s a bunch of anime I’ve missed that I was just...gonna...binge..."

"Gah—I mean...I’ll d-do it. I’ll help. Let me help."

• In the entrance hall

"Gyah! What—? <player>?! Hurry up and hide! And keep quiet, OK?"

"Phew... That was close."

Regardless of choice: "Um... Yeah, you know, I'm just... Errr... *sigh* Guess I might as well come clean."

"Take a look over there."

"Do you get it now?"

Regardless of choice: "Ah. Sorry. Your jump scare earlier completely frazzled me. My brain's still trying to reboot. All right, here's the sitch. Team Star've started coming to school again... But I don't know if they're gonna fit in OK, and it's been playing on my mind, you know? So I'm checking on them from over here..."

"Huh? A change of tack...? What, are they gonna start wearing normal school uniforms so they stop scaring off the other kids? Oh, Momo... Ortie... They're both really trying their best to fit in here at school..."

"Errr. Yeah, that idea seems a bit...off."

"What. On. Earth."

"No way..."

"P-people are actually warming up to them?! Why? That makes zero sense!"

"Haaah... Momo and Ortie really are operating on a different level. I'm kind of amazed."

"Seems all my worrying was for nothing, huh? Now that that's all settled, I guess I should get going. Hasta la vistar! ☆"

• In the school store

"*whisper* Oh hey, <player>. *whisper* I'm checking in on Atticus. *whisper* So keep your voice down, OK?"

Regardless of choice: "*whisper* 'Preciate it."

"Wow. He really seems to have taken a shine to the school store..."

"Doesn't seem like he'll notice us anytime soon, so I guess there's no point whispering."

"You know, of all my Team Star friends, it's Atticus I'm worried will have the most trouble fitting in..."

"Whaaaaaat?! Since WHEN was Atticus this good-looking?! Wait, no, focus! If he starts begging some kid for their ninja outfit, people will think he's a weirdo. We should stop him, right?"

Yeah, time for an intervention: "Th-then that's what we'll do!"

Let's just see how this pans out: "Seriously? But..."

"Phew... Looks like he was able to wrap up this little escapade without making a scene. But more importantly—Atticus has already made a friend at school! Kinda makes me feel bad that I thought I had to spy on him... Anyway, I guess I'll get going. Hasta la vistar! ☆"

• In the art room

"H-how you doing, <player>? I've never been inside the art room before. It smells like paint in here—but in a good way."

Regardless of choice: "Um. Well... I'm worried about this rumor that's going around. People are saying Team Star's planning to raid the art room or something. It's probably just rubbish made up by some kids who are still scared of Team Star though. My friends would never do anything like that. And who'd want to raid the art room, anyway?"

"GAH! They actually showed up?!"

"Don't tell me that rumor was for real! Are they actually gonna raid the art room?! N-no, there's no way. They wouldn't. We should just keep watching..."

"No WAY! It's a raid! This is literally a RAID!"

"So the raid thing was just a misunderstanding... Well, that's a relief. But wow...I didn't know that Mellie wanted to join the art club."

"Yeah, I guess..."

"GAH! Eri?! How'd you know we were here?!"

"Wow. So even Mellie gets the jitters sometimes."

"... ... ..."

"Mellie and Eri really are putting themselves out there, aren't they."

"I...I guess I'll head off, too. Hasta la vistar... ☆"

• In Classroom 1-D

"Oh! Hey, <player>."

"Welcome to my classroom. All the students here are in the STEM track, just like me."

"Som uh...there's something I wanna talk to you about. But not here. Let's go somewhere we can talk in private."

• In her dorm room

"Th-this is my room. Make yourself at home."

It's nice and cozy in here: "Hehe. I know, right? Being surrounded by me Veevees and figurines is my kinda heaven!"

A little crowded, isn't it?: "Wait, seriously Is it the boxes from all my online orders? Maybe I oughta get rid of 'em, huh..."

"Anyway, you must be wondering why I brought you here. It's about my Team Star friends. They...they really mean the world to me. I love them all so much that I got scared they weren't gonna fit in OK or be happy at school. That's why I've been sorta spying on them since they came back. But it turns out I didn't need to worry. They're already having a great time! And now I feel bad that I didn't have it in me to believe in them in the first place... They've all grown so much, but I haven't changed since Operation Starfall. I'm still scheming up ways to fix things by myself instead of having a little faith."

It's only natural you'd worry: "Y-you really think so? That's a normal thing for friends to do?"

You just need to believe in them!: "Y-yeah. I know. I promise I'll try, but it might take me a little while to get there."

"Huh... I feel better after talking it out with you, <player>. Thanks. And, um, I want you to know you're a really important friend to me, too. That goes for Nemona as well! And even Arven and Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V!"

"You know, I don't normally like having people in my room. But you're an exception. Stop by for a chat or whatever anytime!"

"Till our next confab, then! Hasta la vistar! ☆"

• If talked to in her dorm room

"Doesn't get any better than chilling in my room with my Veevees. Feel free to stay awhile!"

"A-and if things get really bad, I can just hack into the school system and fix your grades anyway!"

"Ah... Sorry. That was a joke! I was trying to lighten things up in here, but I guess that was pretty out of character..."

"B-but about before! I'm actually a pretty good tutor, you know. So feel free to ask me for help with studying and stuff anytime!"

• In the classroom, after completing The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC

"Wha—? Guys! What are you all doing here?"

"Um... I was just walking down the hall and saw you all in here... B-but that's fine! No one asked me to join, so I should just leave, shouldn't I? S-sorry about that. See you later!"

"Phew... I thought you'd all decided not to talk to me anymore."

"Well, apology NOT accepted!"

"Why do YOU guys decide that I'd just be weighed down by your problems?! I...I'm your friend, right? So...you should come bother me more. Lean on me! That's what'd actually make me happy..."

Academy Ace Tournament

• Before battle

"M-my Veevees and I won’t back down—even up against you, <player>!"

• In battle

Upon sending out her last Pokémon: "You always have to go all-out, don’t you? ...In a good way, I mean."

Upon Terastallizing her Sylveon: "Time to Terastallize! Become who you really want to be, and shine like the twinkling stars!"

Upon first using Sylveon's Moonblast: "Here I come, <player>. With this move, I’ll be the Veevee victor!"

Upon being defeated: "My Veevee power wasn’t enough..."

• After being defeated

"Crazy strong, as always... But y’know what? I’m proud of you."

Cabo Poco

• Outside the player's house

"Hey there."

"Well, we weren't just going to let you hog the chance to visit <player>."

"I don't know who you think you're educating here, but sure. Whatever."

• Inside the player's house

"Right? And she's so pretty, my brain literally glitched when I saw her."

"Oooh, it's a Nintendo Switch! You HAVE to tell me what games you've got on this thing!"

"Sweets?! Yesss!"

"Gah, I wanna check out the sweets, too!"

"Oooh, my poor gut... I feel like I'll burst if I eat another bite..."

"Huh? Why're you looking at me?"

"Wait, what? You going somewhere?"

"More like "I've got to BATTLE him"..."

"Yup. "Friends" equals us. Ergo, we get the tickets."

"This'll be my first time going on a trip with friends... It's kind of...scary and exciting at the same time."

"Roger. See you all later, then!"

"Thanks for having us over!"

South Province (Area One)

• At Mesagoza's southern gate

"Oh my GOSH, Dad, would you just dorp it?! I told you—friends! I'm going with friends! No, you DON'T need to be worried about it! We are perfectly capable of taking care of ourselves! Ughhh, no, it's not gonna be an "Adven-tour"—no one says that! Honestly. I'm hanging up now!"

"Haaah. Suddenly I'm too tired for any of this..."

"Yeah...in the end. But I had to put up with his ultra-mega-annoying dad talk to do it."

"Oh! Oh...yeah, maybe you're right..."

"Let's gooooooooo!!!"

Mossui Town

"Urrrgggh... My head's still spinning too fast to see anything... Are we there yet?"

"But I didn't know if we'd get signal here... I had to load up on internet goodness while I could..."

"Woah... Now that's some thoughtful service."

"EXCUSE me? He doesn't have a smartphone?! How is this kid even alive?!"

• If talked to before visiting Kieran

"Reception out here really is lousy. Me and my poor phone don't stand a chance..."

• At Kieran and Carmine's house

"Dial it back a notch or nine. You're scaring him. I'm Penny. Unlike a certain someone, I'm fine with taking friendships nice and slow."

"Staking your claim right from the get-go, huh?"

"Whoa, really? I know how that goes. Same thing happened to me!"

"Eh. I just get the feeling we're pretty alike."

"Of course he is. He's friends with <player>!"

• If talked to before returning to the community center

"We introverts know how to recognize one another."

• At the community center

"You OK? Feel like running for the hills yet?"

"There's no way that's what's going on here..."

• At Kieran and Carmine's house

"Yeah, I gotta ask. Is everything OK with your sister? She seemed pretty, uh, riled up..."

"Well, that's a relief."

"Wow, this trip just took a reeeal sudden dive into horror movie territory..."

"Sure, we'll help you out! I definitely don't believe in horror movie tropes like curses anyway!"

• If talked to before returning to the community center

"Curses and supernatural stuff like that are totally unscientific. Nothing scary about 'em."

• Upon entering the community center

"Sugar and carbonation—my two love languages!"

"Wait. Nemona. What's all over your mouth? Were you eating snacks without us?!"

"Time to search this place top to bottom! And then I vote we play games up on that big screen!"

• If talked to whole searching for the remote

"The caretaker wouldn't have put it in one of the bathrooms...right?"

• After finding the remote

"Hey, friend. You agree with me that we should use that big ol' screen to play games, riiight?"

"No, I was checking around there earlier—I'm pretty sure I would've seen her go in."

"Hmm. I tried her phone, but she's not picking up."

"Huh...that is weird."

"Hmmm...maybe she was so set on finding that remote that she went outdoors to look for it?"

"We'll hold down the fort till you get back."

• If talked to before going outside

"I hope Nemona's all right... All that talk about curses made my hair stand on end...seriously, worse than a Jolteon's!"

Reveler's Road

• Via Rotom Phone, after Yukito and Hideko have been defeated

"Eek! Eyaaauuughhh! There's something there! There's SOMETHING THERE, Arven!"

Mossui Town

• At Peachy's

"Can you blame me?! Look at the people in this town! Something's seriously wrong with them! Never mind whatever that weird THING was!"

"It was, like, round and little...and WEIRD!"

"It was real!!! I really I saw it!"

"That's the thing I saw earlier! Is it...a drone?"

"It's...kinda sweet. I like it."

"Gyah!"

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

"Mochi MOCHI!!!"

"Mochee MOCHEE!!!"

If the player responded 'Penny!': "MOCHEE MOCHEE!!!"

"Mochee! CHEE!!!"

• Before battle

"Mochee! Mo-CHEE!!!"

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "Mochee MOCHEE!!!"

After the player or Kieran first lands a super-effective move: "Aaarrrghhh! Eeechi CHEEVEE!!!"

???: "Mo...chee?!"

Upon being defeated: "Mee-cheeeeee..."

• After being defeated

"Ch-chee..."

• If talked to

"Chee...vee..."

Loyalty Plaza

• If talked to before battling Nemona

"Mo-chee! EECHEE!!!"

• After the player catches Pecharunt

"See? SEE?! I told you it was real! Unlike dumb horror movie tropes like curses! That round little monster was behind everything! Just like I said!"

"Gah! The curse wasn't lifted?!"

"Something? Yup. Sure is."

Mossui Town

• In the community center, if talked to

"My arms and legs are still killing me from all that dancing..."

• Outside the community center

"The festival was a lot of fun too! I even got to buy a Veevee mask—what more could you want?"

"Welcome to the Nemona Survivors Club..."

"Wow... Looks like Carmine's another one with a big personality, huh?"

League Club Room

• First visit

"Hey there, <player>. Is this your clubroom? Hope so, since I came to raid it!"

"Blueberry Academy is, like, unreal. I can’t believe you get to study here!"

"But, uh, there sure are a lot of people in this room I don’t know... Makes me kinda nervous..."

Aw, you’ll be fine! / Push past the nerves!: "Um, yeah... I dunno... Not everyone can be as outgoing as you, <player>."

"I guess I can try toughing it out a little longer if I think of this as extrovert practice..."

"Just don’t leave me alone for too long, OK? New places are a lot for me to deal with."

• Second visit

"Hey, <player>! Do you have any idea how amazing this academy really is?"

I sure do!: "Really?! Is Blueberry Academy famous enough that everyone knows all about it? Well, let me tell you what I found out anyway."

How do you mean?: "Oh, you didn’t know? I did some digging since I was curious, and I found out some cool stuff..."

"The academy has this resource development plant on one of its lower levels, way down on the seabed."

"They do all sorts of marine research down there, and they survey the seabed for resources, too!"

"I heard students aren’t allowed to visit though, which I guess isn’t all that surprising..."

"But to think that cutting-edge science is going on below us right now...it’s like some kind of dream!"

• Third visit

"Ah, <player>! Something big happened!"

Tell me all about it!: "Yesss! I knew you’d wanna hear! I’m still buzzing from the excitement!"

I’m not interested...: "Huh? That’s not a very “you” thing to say! But it won’t take long, so I’ll just tell you!"

"Remember the resource development plant I mentioned? The one beneath the academy?! I got to go inside! It was incredible!"

"So, I’m at Blueberry’s entrance, having a look around, right?"

"Then this dapper old guy in a white suit shows up and tells me he’ll take me to the plant if I want!"

"He had, like, this amazingly cheerful, impish air about him. I wonder what his deal was... It almost felt like he was one of the feyfolk disguised as an old guy!"

You might be right!: "Oh, you think so too? Yeah, he had a real special aura... I’m sure that must be it! I’ll keep looking into this dapper fey fellow and find out who he really is!"

That’s the director...: "What?! That dapper guy’s the DIRECTOR? Is it some kinda requirement for academy directors to be eccentrics or something?! I mean, first Director Clavell and now him?!"

"Blueberry Academy really is incredible. I wasn’t sure about accepting your invite at first, but I’m glad I did!"

"Don’t think of this as, like, a thank-you gift for inviting me or anything... but do you wanna trade Pokémon with me?"

Yes: "Nice! I’ll offer up a Veevee from my end, of course. I’ve got a real feisty one just for you! Which Pokémon will you go for, <player>?"

After selecting a Pokémon: "OK! So we’ll go ahead and trade your <Pokémon> for my Veevee, right?"

No: "Oh, you don’t want to trade just yet? OK, well, my Veevee and I will wait right here for you."

Talking to her after refusing: "Are you ready to trade Pokémon now?"

If the player only has one Pokémon in their party: "Wait...we can’t trade if there’s only one Pokémon in your party. You need at least two, OK?"

After the trade: "<Pokémon>, huh... This Pokémon’s so you. I’ll treasure it forever!"

• Rematch

"Ooh, from that glint in your eye I’m guessing you wanna raid—er, I mean battle! Am I right?"

Yes: "If someone challenges me to a battle, you know I’ve got no choice but to accept!"

No: "Aw. I thought I recognized that little sparkle of yours, but guess I was off."

• In battle

Upon sending her last Pokémon: "Oof, I’m in a bind here. I can’t believe I’m down to my last Veevee!"

Upon Terastallizing her Sylveon: "Terastallize like the twinkling stars! You can be whoever you want to be!"

Upon having Sylveon use Moonblast: "Hope you’re ready for our starlit Veevee power! This time it’s OUR turn for an all-out raid!"

Upon being defeated: "My poor Veevees..."

• After player wins first battle

"Geeeeeez, how do you keep beating all my Veevees anyway? I don’t get it..."

"But you know...I’m so glad I got to meet you. I never thought I’d get this close with anyone else, like I did with my friends in Team Star."

"Ah, sorry! That came out of nowhere, didn’t it? I, err...I just felt the need to say it. Anyway. Here! For you!"

Player receives Smiling Vee Picks: "So, er, that wraps that up! Hasta la vistar! ☆"

• After subsequent battles

If defeated by the player: "I can’t believe you’re the Veevee victor again! My energy levels are getting seriously depleted..."

Player receives reward: "Welp, till next time, then. Hasta la vistar! ☆"

If defeated the player: "Hehe. Did you expect any less from the big boss of Team Star? My Veevees reign supreme!"

• Talking to after rematch

"The Terarium sure is something else. It’s easy to forget you’re actually indoors when the dome looks just like the sky. How do they do that anyway?"

"You know how Squawkabilly are used to ferry the Flying Taxis around back in Paldea? Well, where I’m from we use Corviknight—and in the Terarium, it’s yet another different Pokémon!"

"Thanks again for inviting me to visit all these places with you. It’s not the easiest thing for a former shut-in like me to do, but...I always end up having fun."

"The <Pokémon> you traded me is getting on great with my Veevees!"

"How’s my feisty li’l Veevee doing? You can have him evolve any way you like, or you can have him stay an Eevee forever! That’s what makes Eevee so great."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. I was like that at the beginning. You don't even want to let them battle."

"True. That's why you start with watching Eevee play around with each other."

"Eevee are smart...so they'll grow strong and healthy on their own."

"Yup, of course."

"If you treat them with love, they'll definitely respond."

• First Step in Making Friends

"*sigh* I've talked enough for a lifetime..."

"That first step might be really difficult, but I guess you have to take it..."

"Huh?"

"N-No way! That's way too much!"

"F-for real? I guess that's...well..."

"Uh...umm... Uhh..."

"Wh-what nice weather we're having today..."

"Umm... Hehe..."

"I-I know! And quiet down—they'll hear you!"

"N-nothing! It's nothing...at all."

"I'm a student from Paldea, and...I just wanted to interact with people!"

"(C'mon, think of a topic—any topic...)"

"Uhh...what are your hobbies?"

"Shut it! Enough with the wisecracks!"

"Things you like! Tell me about things you like!"

"Wh-what? You're an actor?!"

"What kind of movie? What genre?"

"A hero, huh? Films with special effects are so nice!"

"The plot twists in taking down a great evil always get me excited."

"That sounds so fun... I'd love to play heroes with my Veevees!"

"Hm? Oh yeah, I like Veevees so much."

• The Stolen Treasure

"*pant pant* I'm exhausted from doing so much..."

"I-I hope so..."

"Anyway, why are you helping me out so much?"

"It's nice that you can say that so easily..."

"I can't imagine helping someone I just met."

"R-really?"

"The first step..."

"(It was the same for everyone in Team Star.)"

"(Everyone went back to school and started taking steps forward...)"

"... ... ..."

"I'm coming too."

"Don't worry, you won't be alone."

"I won't let anyone steal your important treasure."

"Sure!"

"Wait, if we're going to raid them, we should have a plan, and proceed with caution—"

"Um, excuse me?!"

"Ughhh! Are you wearing an Assault Vest or something?!"

"Surrender and hand it over."

"We're going to be the Veevee victors here!"

• Have Confidence

"We'll be taking the Eevee back."

"We managed to get the Eevee back safely. Our job is done."

"...BUT."

"If you do this again...we'll turn you into stardust."

"I wonder if they've learned their lesson."

"Well, they were scared of us..."

"and I don't want to repeat the same mistakes on Pasio."

"At my school in Paldea..."

"I teamed up with my friends to get revenge for being bullied, but we went too far."

"In the end, my team started looking like the bullies we were trying to get revenge on in the first place..."

"That wasn't what we wanted. We just wanted to be bright, shining stars..."

"Wronging others is inexcusable, but..."

"I don't think that justifies revenge."

"That's all."

"Hey, that's what I was gonna say!"

"Friends..."

"Wha—?"

"C'mon...keep it down."

"Huh?! Nemona?!"

"Ugh, she's found someone else just like her..."

"But it's kinda annoying—part of me is at ease with the classic Nemona energy..."

"You don't change at all, do you?"

"Huh?! Oh no! The customs in Paldea don't apply here!"

"Wait, calm down, Nemona. There are regions with those rules, but..."

"Ahhh! You're one of them!"

"*sigh* All right, all right."

"If someone challenges you to a battle, you have no choice but to accept."

"I have to warn you... I won't hold back when I battle!"

Story Event - Let's Go in Search of Wonder

• Secret Eevee Fans?

"Whoa!"

"Y-you surprised me... Don't come up to me like that..."

"Oh...Eevee. They're cute..."

"Wait, are you a Poké Kid? I saw that outfit back in Galar..."

"Yeah, well... I'm actually from Galar..."

"That, and I've kinda wanted an Eevee suit for awhi— Actually, never mind..."

"Guh...you sure are, uh, enthusiastic..."

"Well... I don't really know anything about a talking Eevee..."

"But I do know about a secret gathering of Eevee fans..."

"You might get the chance to hear stories that wouldn't come up among typical Eevee fans."

"If you don't already know about the gathering, they'll chuck you out, so I'll introduce you."

"Plus I...kinda wanna meet a talking Eevee, too."

"I'm Penny, a student from Paldea."

"Ah, it's OK. They won't tell anyone."

"You see..."

"Oh, wow. That's actually quite good."

"Would a Pokémon even use human language...? I mean, is it even physically possible?"

"Huh? Ask who?"

"What?"

• Let's Ask Professor Oak!

"Wait...seriously? You've got some good connections..."

"I could ask you the same question!"

"What can I say? Classic Nemona..."

"Yeah yeah, not now—we're busy!"

"I didn't either."

"Eugh, creepy! Big horror movie vibes..."

Special Event - Electricity Disruptors

• If spoken to

"You're wondering if I'm OK in the dark?"

"I keep the lights in my bedroom pretty low, so this is just business as usual for me, I guess..."

Costume Event - New Heroes Are Born

• Our Chance to Become Heroes!

"Am I witnessing...a new hero origin story?!"

• The Rules of the Ring

"Hmm..."

"For real, for real."

"... ... ..."

"(I want to give them advice, but they might think I'm a bother...)"

"(No...I have to take that first step!)"

"H-hello..."

"I'm just a hero fan who happened to be passing by..."

"Umm... I'm Penny, a student from Paldea..."

"So, yeah... When I saw you two battle earlier, there was something that stood out to me..."

"And I thought I might be able to give you a tip from a fan's perspective..."

"(Whoa! They're really eager...)"

"F-first, I'd like to ask you two something..."

"What does being a hero mean to you?"

"I see..."

"You're not wrong, but there's more to being a hero than just being strong!"

"You also need to inspire hope, courage, and energy in the people watching you!"

"You've gotta get the audience really fired up! THAT's what it means to be a hero!"

"That's right! When you're putting on a show, getting the audience emotionally invested is key!"

"That means riveting plot twists to keep us on the edge of our seats! Drawing us in deeper and deeper until—!"

"Oh..."

"Y-yeah... Watching lots of hero shows is one of my indoor hobbies..."

"All right, then. I'll keep geeking out about heroes."

"But when I'm done, I want to hear about your favorite heroes, too."

• A Captivating Battle

"Hehe... Well, my family does hail from Galar."

"You're both popular for your ability to get the crowd going, so...if you have any advice..."

"Yeah! Like pretending you're in a pinch and trading the advantage back and forth with the opponent!"

"That's the perfect time..."

"to show off your finishing moves!"

• Two Finishing Moves

"Why don't you pick a finishing move to spice up your match?"

"Not necessarily."

"Even simple punches and kicks can get pretty flashy, thanks to how special effects have gotten better over time..."

"And even a well-known move can be exciting if someone unexpected uses it!"

"A longtime partner getting a buff, huh... Nice. That hits you right in the feels."

"How did you and Scizor meet, Selene?"

"Is this it?! The moment when the first generation of heroes passes the torch—costumes, convictions, and everything?!"

"And when this new generation of heroes emerges victorious, their predecessors can then retire with no regrets—"

• Overcome the Veteran Heroes!

"They can't just prepare it straight away, can they?"

"I bet it takes time to arrange an opponent..."

"Th-this is it!"

"The classic scenario in which a new enemy appears after defeating a strong opponent!"

Costume Event - Infamous Pokéstar Villains

• A Path Forward

"This is a challenge from those villains... What're you gonna do?"

• The Dream Battle!

"Villains are very important—they present challenges to heroes to help them grow."

"When villains are done right, they make the heroes shine even brighter."

Solo Event - Updating the Pokémon Center

• Exciting Ideas

"Hmmm...so, what functions should we add?"

"Maybe we could implement a feature where people can view info about other Trainers or Pokémon?"

"I'm totally blanking on a UI that'd vibe well with a Pokémon Center..."

"Oh! Hi there, Mr. Jacq."

"Could we get your advice on something, Mr. Jacq?"

"Thank you, Mr. Jacq. You were a big help!"

"I really want this to work...especially since it's something we came up with together."

• Incomplete Things?

"Y-you know him?"

"That age being...what, exactly?"

"Huh?! Sure! S-sorry..."

"Oooh... Wow... It's working..."

"We may have been overthinking it, huh?"

"OK, now all that's left are the final touches! We...can do this!"

Story Event - Peculiar Pokémon-Loving Pal

• A Mysterious Guy From Unova?

"If I could hear my Veevees' voices, I'd be so happy I wouldn't know what to do with myself..."

"But that's totally unscientific, y'know? He could just be saying stuff like that for the attention."

"Seems like a shame to just turn him away, especially when he went out of his way to talk to you. You could make a new friend..."

"Sure, he seems a little weird, but you could say that about us, too."

"Oi."

"Well, it doesn't taste half bad."

"Creeeeepy..."

"I think I see what Arven meant now..."

Story Event - Ancient Visitor

• Wait, Is That—?

"Hey there!"

"Not here yet. I'm pretty sure this is when we agreed to meet..."

"I'm guessing she's..."

"There she is."

"And just like we thought, she's battl— Wait..."

"Th-that Pokémon...!"

• A Paradox Pokémon

"Ugh! No, not that either!"

• Off-screen

"Your Pokémon! What are you doing with that Pokémon?!"

• On-screen

"Could it have...wandered here from Paldea somehow?"

"Don't you remember what happened in Area Zero?"

"Hey, we weren't telling you to abandon it or anything."

"Yeah, we need to report this to experts!"

"That's all pretty vague compared to your usual explanations, Mr. Jacq."

"Almost like it's...paranormal, huh?"

• The Odd and Novel

"Then what are you here for...?"

"So Team Break's gonna be target practice for Nemona... I feel kinda sorry for them."

• Focused on Something Else

"Uh...what do you mean?"

"Well, yeah. What else would she do?"

"Same."

"Of course you are. We could've told you that without asking, Arven."

"I guess I've got a vague idea that I wanna do something with computers...but I don't know what."

"And she leaps straight into action... Now THAT'S our Nemona."

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Penny

"Wh-whoa, <player>?!"

"Um... I-I was..."

"Umm... Could you stop looking at me without saying anything...?"

"Okay, I confess..."

"I saw that Veevee—um, I mean Eevee— and I was curious..."

"So I was hiding and observing them so the Trainer wouldn't notice me..."

You should have talked to them.: "Going up to someone I don't know is way too difficult, but..."

You like Eevee that much?: "Of course!"

"I live for my Veevees!"

"My dorm room in Paldea is full of Veevees and Pokémon figurines. It's a space of comfort for me..."

"Being surrounded by my Veevees is my kinda heaven!"

"Veevees are so friendly and super cute!"

"They understand how I'm feeling and snuggle up to me!"

They do make me feel better.: "Y-yeah! You get it too—right, <player>?"

"The infinite power of Veevees to heal people's hearts!"

They seem to like you!: "M-maybe..."

"I'd be happy if you liked Veevees as much as I do..."

"Oh, yeah..."

"Veevees are very cute, but contrary to their looks, they have a dangerous side to them."

"Take my current partner Pokémon Sylveon, for example."

"When she's going after her prey, she sometimes uses her ribbon-like feelers to distract them and strike..."

"My home is back in Galar, and..."

"apparently, there's a fairy tale that describes a Sylveon vanquishing a dragon Pokémon."

"That contrast is also one of the charms of Veevees."

"I've been talking too much. My throat hurts..."

"... ... ..."

"U-um... If you don't mind me asking..."

"Do you like Veevees, <player>?"

Yup! I like them!: "For real?!"

"I kind of expected that. I'm so glad I just went for it and asked..."

I really REALLY love all Pokémon!: "O-oh... That came out of nowhere..."

"Hey... There's a place me and Sylveon have being going to since we came to Pasio..."

"It's a secret place where Eevee fans gather. Would you like to go with me next time?"

"I hope you can use this opportunity, <player>..."

"to become as big an Eevee fan as I am!"

• Random conversation
