In the core series

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

Iron Island

  • Entering
"...You are? OK, you're <player>. I'm Riley. I'm a Trainer, and yes, it is a bit odd that I would be training here. If you'd like, we could team up. The wild Pokémon here are restless."
"If your Pokémon get hurt, I'll heal them up."
  • If talked to again
"Haha, I'd have to agree. People training here would be those with too much time on their hands."
"This used to be a fairly thriving ore mine once upon a time. I guess the steel ore's played out. There's only Pokémon here now."
"Have you met Byron? The Leader of Canalave Gym? He's asked me to become a Gym Leader, but there's his son Roark to consider."
"Imagine what it would be like for a Steel-type Pokémon user to battle a Steel type. Would that be like battling yourself, I wonder? I mean, it's a lot harder to defeat one's self than anyone else."
"What's going on here, though? The native Pokémon are restless... I don't like this... Let's hurry."
  • If leaving before the quest is over
"...Are you going back? I'll be hanging around here. It would be good if you came back."
  • Upon return
"Hi, <player>. Let's team up. The Pokémon seem to be restless."
"If your Pokémon get hurt, I'll heal them up."
"I get it now. You're responsible for agitating the Pokémon. I don't care what good reason you may have, but I don't want you bringing any trouble into my mine."
"To share in all the joys and all the sorrows... That is how all the Trainers and Pokémon live in Sinnoh! I won't allow anyone to defy that code of ethics! Come on, <player>! This is one battle we can't lose!"
  • When the Grunts are defeated
"Thanks. You really helped me out. Listen, I have a Pokémon Egg here. Would you take it with you?"
Yes (open party slot): "Thanks! I'd like you to show the Pokémon that's inside the Egg all sorts of new places. Spending time with you was very enjoyable. I intend to test my skills in other places from now on. Let's meet again! Take care on the way out."
Yes (full party): "Thank you... But you don't have room to take another Pokémon. All right, then. I'll wait here for you."
No: "I hope you'll accept it as a token of our friendship."

Pokémon Platinum

Iron Island

  • Entrance
"...You are? OK, you're <player>. I'm Riley. I'm a Trainer, and yes, it is a bit odd that I would be training here. Anyway, it's always nice to meet another Trainer. Here's a gift."
  • (Receiving HM04 without the Mine Badge)
"That Hidden Machine contains the move Strength. To use it out of battle, you need the Mine Badge from Canalave Gym."
  • (Receiving HM04 with the Mine Badge)
"That Hidden Machine contains the move Strength. To use it out of battle, you need the Badge from Canalave Gym... Oh, never mind, you've already got the Mine Badge. My bad."
"I'll be training inside. You can join me if you'd like."
  • Inside
  • Upon approach inside
"<player>, I'm glad to see you here. If you don't mind, let's team up. The Pokémon seem to be restless."
"If your Pokémon get hurt, I'll heal them up."
  • If talked to again
"Haha, I'd have to agree. People training here would be those with too much time on their hands."
"This used to be a fairly thriving ore mine once upon a time. I guess the steel ore's played out. There's only Pokémon here now."

The Battleground

  • Before battle
"Hi. Long time, no see. If it's all right with you, I'd like to challenge you to a battle right now."
No: "Oh, all right. Then we'll wait till you're ready."
"That look you have... I take it you're ready for battle?"
Yes: "We're pulling out all the stops to put your Pokémon down."
  • During battle
"Your team! I sense your strong aura!"
  • When defeated
"At times we battle, and sometime we teamed up. It's great how Trainers can interact."
  • After being defeated
"If I weren't on Iron Island then... If you hadn't arrived on Iron Island then... Perhaps we would have never met. Or, would we have met elsewhere?"

The Battleground (variant)

  • Before battle
"You and I, we're both Trainers. Let's forego the small talk and proceed right to battle. That's my style!"
No: "All right, then. So, what've you got to tell me?"
"See? It just doesn't feel right if we don't battle, does it?"
Yes: "Battling is our way of greeting!"
  • During battle
"Your team! I sense your strong aura!"
  • When defeated
"At times we battle, and sometime we team up. It's great how Trainers can interact."
  • After being defeated
"Know your enemy. If you know your opponent's Pokémon and what moves they use... If you have intelligence like that, your chances of winning are much improved."

"Yeah, I was led here by a mysterious power..."
"I see. So you're <player>."
"You've got a nice aura."
"I'm Riley. I'm a Trainer, and yes, it is a bit odd that I'm always training in mines."

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Riley
"Oh, <player>. What brings you here?"
I came here to train!: "Haha, I see you're full of energy."
"Glad to see another sync pair working hard at their training!"
I just felt like coming here.: "That might mean you have the ability to sense auras."
"Maybe you were drawn here because you sensed Lucario's aura..."
"The environment here is similar to a place in Sinnoh called Iron Island."
"Lucario and I always used to train there."
"Perhaps that's why I was led to Pasio by some mysterious power..."
"In any case, I always seem to find myself coming to this place."
"Honestly, it's become a part of my daily routine."
"There are a lot of sync pairs on Pasio with strong auras."
"I have to train harder so I don't lose to them."
"Lucario seems up for it."
"Have I told you about auras before?"
"An aura is essentially a vibration that emanates from one's heart or soul."
"You could say it expresses a person's strength."
"Lucario can sense auras from far away."
"It can also sense the opponent's feelings or read their thoughts."
"I can also read auras, though not as adeptly as Lucario."
"We're both deeply interested in your aura, <player>."
Mine?: "You seem puzzled."
What's my aura like?: "It's...loud, and makes me want to learn more about what kind of Trainer you are."
"By reading a person's aura, I can tell what kind of heart they have."
"Your aura has yet to be imbued with anything."
"It seems your heart is still developing—rocked by feelings born from your endeavor to understand others."
"I think you have a very fascinating aura!"
"This must be difficult to understand."
"If only you knew how to sense the auras of yourself and others..."
"Actually, we'd be happy to train you!"
"If you could deepen your understanding of auras, that would make us happy!"
