Wallace/Quotes

These are Wallace's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

Sootopolis City
"My name is Wallace. I'm this town's Gym Leader. I've also been entrusted with the protection of the Cave of Origin. This sunshineR/downpourS is caused by a power emanating from the Cave of Origin. That… That is the Red OrbR/Blue OrbS. I see. Follow me."
"The Cave of Origin is ahead. No one from Sootopolis is permitted to enter the Cave of Origin. But you must go. Together with your Red OrbR/Blue OrbS. You must go regardless of what awaits you inside the Cave…"
  • If talked to again
"You must go together with your Red OrbR/Blue OrbS. You must go regardless of what awaits you inside the Cave…"
Sootopolis Gym
  • Before battle
"Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am Wallace. The Gym Leader of Sootopolis. There's something about you… A difference in your demeanor. I think I sense that in you. What happened inside the Cave of Origin, and what you did, I will likely learn through our upcoming battle. Now, show me. Show me the power you wield with your Pokémon. And I, in turn, shall present you with a performance of illusions in water by me and my Pokémon!"
  • Being defeated
"Bravo. I realize now your authenticity and magnificence as a Pokémon Trainer. I find much joy in having met you and your Pokémon. You have proven yourself worthy of the Rain Badge. Accept it."
  • After being defeated
"Having that Badge assures you full obedience of all your Pokémon to every command you make. The Badge also allows the use of the HM move Waterfall to scale walls of cascading water. And, so you never forget the battle we shared, take this…"
"The TM I handed you contains Water Pulse. In use, it will occasionally confuse the target with ultrasonic waves."
  • If talked to once again and player skipped Fortree Gym
"There remains but one Badge to obtain in Hoenn. If you wish to challenge the Pokémon League, you must obtain the last Badge from the Gym in Fortree."
  • If all 8 Badges are collected
"Trainers who have gathered all the Gym Badges of Hoenn should make way for the ultimate destination. The Pokémon League. Travel to the easternmost reaches of Hoenn, to the island Ever Grande. The Pokémon League is there."

Pokémon Emerald

Cave of Origin
"Ah, so you are <player>? I've heard tales of your exploits. My name is Wallace. I was once the Gym Leader of Sootopolis, but something came up. So now, I've entrusted my mentor Juan with the Gym's operation. … … … … … … … … … … … … Groudon and Kyogre, the two Pokémon wreaking havoc here, are considered to be super-ancient Pokémon. But there aren't just two super-ancient Pokémon. There is one more somewhere. Somewhere, there is a super-ancient Pokémon named Rayquaza. It's said that it was Rayquaza that becalmed the two combatants in the distant past. But even I have no clue as to Rayquaza's wherabouts…"
"<Player>, do you perhaps know where Rayquaza is now? If you do, please tell me."
Cave of Origin: "The Cave of Origin? But that's right here! I need you to do better than that! Please, I need you to think about where Rayquaza might be right now."
Mt. Pyre: "Mt. Pyre? But when I met the old lady there earlier, she made no mention of it. I very much doubt that the old lady would try to hide something from me… <player>, could you think about this more carefully for me?"
Sky Pillar: "The Sky Pillar? That's it! It must be the Sky Pillar! <player>, there's no a moment to lose! We'll head to the Sky Pillar right away!"
Don't remember: "Huh? You don't remember? Hmm… That's a problem… Can't you remember somehow?"
Sootopolis City
  • After finding the Sky Pillar, before solving crisis
"Oh? <player>? Haven't you scaled the Sky Pillar yet? I'm sure that you can make it to the top of the Sky Pillar
  • After solving crisis
"<player>… The leaders of Team Magma and Aqua, I don't think they meant harm. It wouldn't hurt to hear what they have to say for themselves."
  • After solving crisis and talking to both Archie and Maxie.
"<player>… My eyes didn't deceive me. Thanks to your help, Sootopolis… No, all of Hoenn was saved. On behalf of the people, I thank you. This is a gift from me. Please accept it."
"That Hidden Machine contains Waterfall. If you have the Rain Badge, a Pokémon that has learned that HM move can force its way up waterfalls. And where does one get the Rain Badge? You know, don't you? That's right! You have to beat the Sootopolis Gym Leader. When you're all set to go, step through that door."
  • If talked to again
"I'm sure that you will be dazzled by my mentor's breathtakingly elegant battle style."
Sky Pillar
"Oh, my, I'm terribly sorry! In my haste, I didn't noticed that I'd left you behind! I've opened the locked door of Sky Pillar. <player>, let's be on our way!"
"It's an earthquake! There's not a moment to waste! We've got to hurry!"
"Hmm… The situation is getting worse… This isn't good… The weather distortion is spreading even here… <player>. Rayquaza should be farther up from here. I'm worried about Sootopolis. I've got to go back. Everything is in your hands now. Don't fail us!"
Ever Grande City
  • Before battle
"Welcome, <player>. That incident in Sootopolis City… That was superb work, putting an end to that crisis all by yourself. Oops! It wouldn't be fair to say that you alone ended the crisis. You overcame that difficult situation by working as one with your Pokémon. We Trainers raise Pokémon by giving them items and by teaching them new techniques for battle. But we ourselves also learn many things from Pokémon. And this is where your achievements are put to the test against what others like you have achieved. Now! Who can most elegantly dance with their Pokémon in Hoenn? Show me right here and now!"
  • Being defeated
"I, the Champion, fall in defeat… That was wonderful work. You were elegant, infuriatingly so. And yet it was utterly glorious! Kudos to you, <player>! You are a truly noble Pokémon Trainer!"
  • After being defeated
"The Pokémon you sent into battle… At times they danced like a spring breeze, and at times they struck like lightning. It was with light, yet surefooted, elegance that you led your Pokémon. Even I felt bedazzled by your masterful performance! You now stand at the glorious peak of the Pokémon League. I now proclaim you to be the new Hoenn region…"
"<Player>! No, let me rephrase that properly. The new Champion! Come with me."
"I'm sorry, but… From here on, only those Trainers who have become Champions may enter. You'll have to wait outside with Prof. Birch."
"This room… This is where we keep records of Pokémon that prevailed through harsh battles. It is here that the League Champions are honored."
"Come on, let's record your name as a Trainer who triumphed over the Pokémon League, and the names of the partners who battled with you."
Match Call
"Hello, <player>. Have you met Steven? He is… Actually incredibly skilled. However, he's an odd soul who rarely battles. Instead, he would rather look for rare stones. I'm sure he's digging in a cave or a craggy mountain somewhere. But what is a rare stone exactly? All I can think of is a Meteorite…"

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

Pokémon World Tournament
  • Before battle (first round)
"At times your Pokémon should dance like a spring breeze, and at times they should strike like lightning. I want to feel bedazzled by your masterful performance!"
  • Before battle (second round)
"You have overcome challenges and made it this far because you worked as one with your Pokémon. Show me that strength here and now!"
  • Before battle (final round)
"Who can most elegantly dance with their Pokémon? Show me right here and now!"
  • Being defeated
That was wonderful work. You were elegant--infuriatingly so. And you know, it was utterly glorious!"
  • If the player is defeated
"I've shown you plenty of the water illusions performed by me and my Pokémon!"
  • After being defeated
"Bravo! I realize now your authenticity and magnificence as a Pokémon Trainer. I find much joy in having met you and your Pokémon."
  • After winning
"When you think there's a difference in your demeanor, let's meet again!"
  • In the lobby, after the tournament
"The reason for my defeat… It's… The grand illusion of water! It wasn't enough!"

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Sootopolis City
"My name is Wallace. I'm this town's Gym Leader. I've also been entrusted with the protection of the Cave of Origin. This droughtOR/downpourAS is being caused by a power emanating from the Cave of Origin. That is the Blue OrbOR/Red OrbAS. I see. Follow me."
"There is nothing to fear. The Blue OrbOR/Red OrbAS he/she bears… Its ancient powers will protect both the boy/girl and his/her Pokémon."
"Yes. The energy overflowing from the Cave of Origin just now… It is the same energy that gives Groudon its power… With the Blue Orb, which contains the power to suppress that… It should be possible to calm the rage of this flood of magma. Of course the Blue Orb's power alone will not lead you to where Groudon waits. You will not reach Hoenn's Core that way. Use the suit that you were just given. With that, it will finally become possible to stand up against the forces of nature."OR
"Yes. The energy overflowing from the Cave of Origin just now… It is the very energy that gives Kyogre its power. With the Red Orb, which contains the power to suppress that, it should be possible to calm the force of this great flood. Of course the Red Orb's power alone will not lead you to where Kyogre waits. You will not reach Hoenn's Core that way. Use the suit that you were just given. With that, it will finally become possible to stand up against the forces of nature."AS
"No man or woman from Sootopolis is permitted to enter the Cave of Origin."
"But you must go, together with your Blue Orb. You must go regardless of what waits for you inside that cave…"OR
"But you must go. Together with your Red Orb. You must go regardless of what awaits you inside that cave…"AS
Sootopolis Gym
  • Before battle
"Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am Wallace. The Gym Leader of Sootopolis City. There's something about you… A difference in your demeanor… I think I sense that in you. What happened inside the Cave of Origin, and what you did there… Our upcoming battle will make that all clear. Now, show me. Show me the power you wield with your Pokémon. And I, in turn, shall present you… with a performance of illusions in water… by me and my Pokémon!"
  • Being defeated
"Bravo!"
  • After being defeated
"I realize now your authenticity and magnificence as a Pokémon Trainer. I find much joy in having met you and your Pokémon. You have proven yourself worthy of the Rain Badge. Accept it. Having that Badge assures you full obedience of all your Pokémon to every command you make."
"And so you never forget the battle we shared…"
"Here…"
"The HM I have given you contains Waterfall. It allows you to smash into an opponent with the force required to climb a waterfall itself. Yes, it is a mighty move… And yet it also has a certain elegance and can sometimes cause opponents to flinch. Now, with the power of the Rain Badge, you will become able to use this HM move, Waterfall, to scale walls of cascading water. Many paths are open to you now. One path would take you to the Pokémon League. It is the goal that all Trainers in Hoenn aspire to reach after obtaining all eight Gym Badges. If that is the path you chose, then you must find your way to the island said to be the most remote in Hoenn: Ever Grande. But if it is a different path you seek, and you would rather pursue Pokémon and a completed Pokédex… The rumors that reach me on the wind whisper that Professor Birch in Littleroot has created a more powerful Pokédex. Visit him, obtain this new technology, and I have little doubt you will encounter more diverse Pokémon than ever before. …I will hope that a bright future waits for you, whatever path it is you choose."
  • After becoming Champion
"You have even surpassed Steven… I am disappointed at my inability to find any fitting words to offer you—you, standing now at the summit of all Hoenn Trainers. I look forward to the day when we battle once again."

Delta Episode

Sootopolis City
"What a…glorious turn of events…"
"To think that this tree… I never knew we had received it from that huge man who visited from the Kalos region… Goodness me, old master. This has been a learning experience. I thank you for this."
"No, no, you're too modest. Hah hah hah… Now then…"
"Welcome again to Sootopolis, our new Champion, <player>. Steven has told me everything. Do you wish to go to the Sky Pillar? It is true the cave that leads to the Sky Pillar can only be opened by the hand of someone descended from the ancient people of Sootopolis…as, indeed, am I. Or by one of the Draconids, who have also lived in Hoenn since ancient times… The Sky Pillar is in fact an altar built for the ascension of Rayquaza—that Legendary Pokémon long said to be the protector of the Hoenn region. Only the ancient Draconid people know how to summon Rayquaza to the Sky Pillar. Steven has told me of the woman Zinnia. She must be trying to revive Rayquaza for some purpose. I shall go first to the Sky Pillar. When your preparations are complete, come join me. The Sky Pillar towers over everything upon one of Route 131's small islands."
Route 131
"…"
"So, you've come, <player>."
"As you can see, I have undone the seal on the entrance to the Sky Pillar. Follow the path within, and you will reach the pillar in time."
"However… To go beyond this point… There is one more trial you must overcome. This is my duty as one of the ancient Sootopolitans, a duty passed down to me by my former master. You must battle me. Here and now. Prove to me that your power is great enough to face what lies ahead! Now tell me… Are you prepared?"
No: "I see. I will wait. Prepare yourself."
Yes: "Then let us begin… Champion of Hoenn. You, who should exhibit the most graceful art in battle with your Pokémon… I would have you show me your true strength!"
  • Being defeated
"To defeat me, a descendant of the ancient Sootopolis people, and even when I was holding nothing back…"
  • After being defeated
"As I have come to expect from you, <player>… You are an excellent Pokémon Trainer. The Pokémon that you sent out in that battle… At times dancing as lightly as an elusive spring breeze… Yet striking with the sudden surety of lightning from the blue. Watching you command the battle with such ease and grace… Even I might succumb to your charm. Now go forth. Find the truth that you seek. As one of the ancient people of Sootopolis, I cannot intrude upon this holy place. I will return to Sootopolis for now and try to lay plans in case the worst should come to pass despite all our efforts. I'm sorry that we always seem to be leaving the fate of all the world in your hands. Yet there it lies once again. Good luck to you, young Champion!"
Pokémon League
"Hahaha! How unlike you to be so thoughtful."
"There is no one person in this world who knows all. None who can do all. Steven… There is no cause for such worries or concern."
"Rather what?"
"…? Steven… You can't intend to…"
"… Hmph. It seems I have little choice. I bow to the whims of the pampered heir. I, Wallace, will do this thing you wish. Heh."

Post-Hall of Fame

Any Contest Hall
"No introductions necessary, Lisia. I would say that <player> and I… know each other quite well already.
"He/She defeated me when we battled. And if that were not enough, he/she is also a great Trainer who carried out splendid deeds for Hoenn. That is who <player> is."
"You appear to be well."
"Lisia has been so enraptured by the contest spectacles that I felt compelled to see them for myself. It has been many years since I last took part in the likes of a contest… And here I find you once more. It is not only in my own Gym that you have defeated me, but you have bested me in contests as well. It seems I still have much to learn…"
"I suppose you're right."
"<player>, I'm sure you've grown to understand this already. No matter whether you stand in a Pokémon Gym or a Contest Hall, a Trainer who holds to his/her belief in the Pokémon beside him/her… The Pokémon that battles on, believing in the Trainer with whom it stands together… The settings may differ, but their labors come to fruition in a way that honors their bond! There is equal beauty in both!"
"Yes… And confoundingly elegant!"
"…Glorious!"
"You two have shown yourselves to be fine Trainers, with bright futures ahead of you."
  • If talked to again
"What is it?"
Tell me about Lisia.: "Lisia is the daughter of my elder sister and does not live in Sootopolis any longer. She was tucked safely away during that infamous incident, so she would probably be quite shocked to learn your part in it."
So you did contests?: "Yes, I once tried my hand at contests. But Lisia has a natural talent for them that greatly surpasses mine. She became an idol almost overnight. As a result, I was able to apply myself fully to my role as Gym Leader. After this, I almost feel as though I should give Contests another try. Or perhaps I should steal the title of Pokémon League Champion from you. That could be quite amusing…"
  • After exhausting both options
"I imagine Steven must be gnashing his teeth over missing today's Contest Spectacular."

Champion Stadium - Victory Road
  • Defense and Sp. Def: Part 1
"I see you've come for some training! How marvelous to see Trainers working so hard to be their best selves!"
"Perhaps I can be of some help. You've already spoken with Steven, right?"
"Great. Then I can teach you a few things about Defense and Sp. Def."
"These two stats determine how much damage is reduced when your Pokémon is hit by an opponent's attack move, much like a shield."
"And just like with Attack and Sp. Atk, the amount of damage a move deals can change depending on which category the move falls under."
"Defense reduces damage from physical attack moves, while Sp. Def reduces damage from special attack moves."
"If you're struggling with a tough opponent, it may be because you need to raise the stat that's strong against the category of the moves they're using."
"There are also certain moves that can raise your allies' Defense and Sp. Def!"
"In fact, lots of support sync pairs can use Trainer moves that do just that!"
"OK, time to give it a go. Try to defend yourself against my attacks!"
  • Defense and Sp. Def: Part 2
"How wonderful! And elegant–infuriatingly so!"
"You can better protect your team by knowing which stat to raise–Defense or Sp. Def!"
"I wish you the best on your journey to become super champions!"
  • You Did It!
"That was superb work, how you took in everything we taught you!"
"We ourselves also learned many things from all of you."
"The Champion Stadium is where your achievements are put to the test against what others like you have achieved."
Story Event - The Strongest There Is
  • The Strength of a Champion
The secrets to your strength!: "The secrets to our strength, huh?"
"It seems word of your strength has spread far and wide, Steven. Though I'd expect nothing less from the Champion of the Hoenn League."
"If there is some secret to your success, I'd be keen to hear it as well."
"My, my, how magnanimous of you."
"It looks like there are some other Trainers in the area. Why don't we try battling a few of them as we hike up the trail?"
  • What's the Secret?
"Well, just look at the gorgeous view we have up here! I can see for miles!"
"I suppose so. I mean, Sootopolis City is—"
"Tsk... Typical Steven. Why pay attention to your good friend Wallace when there are stones to find..."
  • Off-screen
"Tsk... That entrance of yours was tragically cliché, gentlemen. Not to mention dull."
  • On-screen
"Hm. Dust, he says... What do you think, Champion?"
  • Cracking the Mystery
"There are more of them than I thought. This may take a bit longer..."
"Wait... Did you already defeat the rest of them?!"
"Well, one must come to expect this level of mastery when Steven is around."
"He was particularly merciless back there, too... Perhaps it's because his opponents were trying to steal stones."
"Steven can be quite sensitive when it comes to stones. Cross him, and he turns into an entirely different person!"
"It seems you all lucked out today! Not everyone gets the chance to witness the sheer power of Steven and his Metagross."
"Speaking of which, I trust your stone came out of this fiasco safe and sound, Barry?"
"Well, the largest ones can fetch a good price in the shop, but I doubt those ruffians understand the true beauty and value of these stones."
"To be honest, a break would be nice. Barry, <player>, this one is all yours."
  • The Real Secret!
"You know, I've actually been curious about the very same thing! Are those stones part of your fashion, or...?"
"Oh, I agree completely! It's a wondrous hairstyle. Nothing short of beautiful!"
"With your fashion sense, you and your Pokémon could easily take first place in a beauty contest!"
"Was meeting me one of those experiences, hm?"
"So, essentially...the journey that comes with collecting stones and the experience gained from playing sports influence the way you two battle."
Story Event - The Star of the Contest
  • Sweep 'Em Off Their Feet!
"I must say, the sync pairs on Pasio are truly magnificent!"
"My partner and I have found so many sources of inspiration here! We're sure to become even more spectacular now!"
Wallace was amazing!: "Why, thank you! It seems my illusions have won me another fan!"
"But you all were amazing, too! Your dances were positively spellbinding!"
"Contestants are judged on their dazzling display during a Pokémon battle!"
  • Razzle 'Em and Dazzle 'Em!
"Prepare to be dazzled by our magnificent water illusions!"
Wonderful!: "Elegant and glorious, no?"
"Now, let's see which of us shines brightest!"
  • And the Winner Is...
"Magnificent! I realize now that you two are wonderful Trainers indeed!"
"I'm immensely pleased to have had the opportunity to meet you both."
"Congratulations on the win, Dawn. And to you, too, <player>, for coming in second place!"
Story Event - Dazzling Dizzying Battle Stage

  • Off-screen, as "???"
"Not your most elegant performance, Lisia."
  • After appearing, as Wallace
"There's something different about the way you battle compared to them, Lisia."
"I'm sure you know that better than anyone, don't you?"
Lisia can get stronger!: "Yes, I know. That's precisely why she needs to hear this."
She may have lost, but she did her best!: "Yes, I know. But I'm not just talking about winning or losing. That's why she needs to hear this."
"(What a wonderful friend you have, Lisia.)"
"(Though I was kind of hoping you'd be able to figure out what you're missing on your own.)"
"(I suppose what I was taught has since fallen out of fashion, huh?)"
  • Pasio's Contest Idol
  • Off-screen
"Bravo! What a magnificent battle, Lisia!"
  • After appearing
"It seems you've learned a valuable lesson about Pokémon battles."

"You have to display the power and skill you and your partner have honed together!"
"The collision of powerful wills between two Trainers in pursuit of victory creates such a wonderful illusion!"
"Lisia, you and your partner have become a strong sync pair here on Pasio."
"I look forward to the day you come to challenge me to a battle!"
  • Gorgeous Genes
"Yes, and elegant—infuriatingly so!"
"Utterly glorious!"
"Haha, you could say that! In our family, beauty is an ongoing source of rivalry!"
"In the past, I was always the one trying to catch up to everyone else..."
"Maybe now it's my turn to be a role model! Right, Lisia?"

  • Steven's Strength
"Simply wonderful. You and Rayquaza are in perfect harmony with one another!"
"Ah... Are you referring to Hoenn's ancient lore and the Draconid people?"
"That's all you, Steven. You're the one who was curious about the relationship between Mega Evolution and meteorites in the first place, right?"
"No wonder you were so focused on researching Rayquaza back then."
"You do hate to lose, don't you, Steven."
"I won't go down so easily! Prepare to be dazzled by my aquatic illusions!"

  • A Beauteaful Day for Shopping
"Your Pokémon, Polteageist... How wonderful!"
"And the antique pot it's living in is a rare masterpiece as well!"
"I wouldn't say a lot. But I believe I have an eye for beauty."
"I do indeed! I'll take you there."
"It seems beautiful things really do attract each other."
"No, I mean the two of us and the two of you."
"Two beautiful sync pairs tied together by bonds of friendship!"
"*chuckle* Anyway, I'd like to ask your opinion about something on the way to the shop."
"I can't decide what I should wear to a contest I'll be making a guest appearance in soon."
"What is beauty? That's a mystery for the ages, but let's discuss it!"
  • Fluttery Fashion
"The point I'd most like to concentrate on is... Oh, I know!"
"Let's discuss this like the upcoming tea party—in the form of a riddle!"
"Here's your question:"
"What fashion item am I particularly picky about?"
"For a hint, have a look at my partner Pokémon! Just like Milotic, it's long and flutters around the neck!"
"Then tell me your answer! What fashion item am I most picky about?"
"Bring me at least one sync pair wearing that item, and tell me your answer!"
  • How's My Outfit?
"That's right! "Scarf" is the correct answer! That elegant fashion item that flutters about the neck!"
"Oh, while we were chatting, we made it all the way to the shop."
"Not at all! Thanks to our chat, I've formed a better idea of what I'll wear to the contest."
"When it comes to fashion, you can't always assume that more is better."
"I think your outfit suits you very well and goes perfectly with your partner Polteageist."
"In fact, I wouldn't change a thing! You look elegant—infuriatingly so!"
"I'm sure you two will have a lovely time at the tea party."

"Yes!"
"I'll make sure it's fun for everyone. I hope you look forward to it!"
"There's just...one thing I can't figure out."
"But once I do, the day should be wonderful and perfect!"
"Not at all! Blacephalon is a wonderful partner Pokémon!"
"What's actually on my mind is something Sabrina told me."
"She said she had a premonition that something "large, white, and long" would lead to my success."
"What could my key to success be?"
  • A Dragon That's Fond of Kids
  • Wearing his New Year's outfit
"Exactly! I'd like you to challenge a mountain this time!"
"Well, the hint is a water Pokémon I love!"
"A Magikarp living for many years can leap a mountain using Splash..."
"It's a message from Pokémon! Traveling long roads on foot will lead to success!"
"We should follow Magikarp's example..."
"and climb a mountain to see the first sunrise of the year, in hopes that each of our New Year's resolutions will come true!"
"So, in the spirit of supporting this endeavor..."
"Blacephalon and I have prepared a fireworks display as a glorious treat!"
"Please enjoy it along with the marvelous scenery from the top of the mountain!"
  • Artist from Another World
"Here's where the fireworks will be launched. This way, we won't have to worry about any fire spreading!"
"Now then, can you help me prepare?"
"Blacephalon seems happy that you're here."
"Hmm... Well, I suppose I should explain."
"It all happened the other day..."
  • In flashback, wearing his normal outfit
"This Pokémon... It's one of those Ultra Beasts I've been hearing about..."
"Return to the world you came from, you—"
"Ahaha! Wonderful!"
"I didn't just feel the enormous impact of your explosion—I also sensed the beauty of it!"
"What a glorious performance! I'd even call it the artistry of flames!"
"If that's the case, allow me to show you the artistry of water!"
"Milotic! Illusion time!"
"Did you like that?"
"I suppose you understand that there's no need for us to fight."
"Oh! You need to go back now, or the Ultra Wormhole will—"
"Oh no! How could this happen?"
  • Back to present, wearing his New Year's outfit
"We both came to a mutual understanding as fellow entertainers, but Blacephalon lost its way back home..."
"It's sad—but not entirely bad!"
"Blacephalon wants to display more of its flame artistry, and I'd like to help it!"
"I've been called an artist and lover of water. If we combine that with Blacephalon's flames..."
"I think we'd be able to put on an exceptional performance!"
"Exactly! And it's elegant—blazingly so!"
"Utterly glorious!"
"Hmm... Actually, I have no idea what it could be."
"I wonder what she saw?"
  • Beat the Rain Clouds!
"Unfortunately, we'll need to cancel the event..."
"Hahaha!"
"Wonderful! That's an elegant plan—infuriatingly so!"
"Did you enjoy the artistry of flames decorating the sky?"
"All thanks to Drampa and Blacephalon."
"The two of them using their moves together cleared the skies..."
"and we were able to perform the finale of the event!"
"I never expected the large, white, and long something that Sabrina told me about to mean Drampa!"
"They're both similar to each other. Maybe neither one of them wants to give in."
"But such relationships can also shine beautifully..."
"Don't you agree, Blacephalon?"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Wallace
"Hello there, <player>. That was quite a battle!"
Oh, hi, Wallace!: "You and your Pokémon looked so magnificent on the battlefield, I couldn't help but come and pay you a compliment."
We do our best!: "Yes, I can tell! You and your Pokémon looked so magnificent on the battlefield, I couldn't help but come and pay you a compliment."
"And having a gorgeous backdrop like Pasio only serves to highlight your magnificence. It really makes the perfect stage, doesn't it?"
"Speaking of which, if you ever have the opportunity to visit Sootopolis City in the Hoenn region, you should definitely make the trip."
"My Pokémon Gym is located there. It's just as gorgeous as Pasio, if you ask me, only in a different sort of way."
Sootopolis City?: "Yes! People often refer to it as "the mystical city where history slumbers," thanks to its traditional sort of beauty."
What do you mean?: "Well, people often refer to Sootopolis City as "the mystical city where history slumbers," thanks to its traditional sort of beauty."
"It was built inside a crater and is protected by the crater's mountainous walls."
"Its majestic waves push back any evildoers who would try to invade the city by sea."
"With the mystical city streets of Sootopolis as your battle stage, I bet you and your Pokémon could shine in an entirely new light!"
"You've already shown yourselves to be a work of art here on Pasio. If you hone your abilities in Sootopolis, the sky is the limit!"
A work of art?: "Hmm... You really don't see it, do you?"
I feel like that's an exaggeration...: "Oh, not at all! You are a work of art, even if you don't see it yourself."
"Maybe I can show you what I mean rather than try to explain it in words."
"Yes! Milotic, could you lend me a hand?"
"Let's present <player> with one of our aquatic illusions!"
"So, what did you think?"
"Were you bedazzled by our performance?"
Completely bedazzled!: "Ahh, yes. We do tend to have that effect on people! I had a feeling you would understand!"
That was beautiful!: "Wasn't it?! I'm so glad you think so. I had a feeling you would understand!"
"You see, Pokémon that have trained to their utmost limits have the power to amaze audiences big and small."
"If that's not worthy of being called a work of art, I don't know what is!"
"Of course, in order to achieve such works of art, we Trainers have to work just as hard as our Pokémon partners."
"That's why you and your partner make such a brilliant sync pair, <player>."
  • Off-screen
"I mean..."
"I would even go so far as to call you our equals when it comes to performing as a combo!"
  • On-screen
"Wonderful work!"
"You're elegant—infuriatingly so!"
"Utterly glorious!"
"Yes, I'm so glad I was able to cross paths with a sync pair like you. So very glad!"
"Coming to Pasio was definitely the right decision."
"Milotic and I came here with one goal: to become the greatest sync pair of all."
"I want to dominate at the PML... I want to feel the beautiful glory of that moment, as I take the title of champion!"
"If the two of us team up together and fight for that honor, I know it's within our grasp."
"Now then... I think it's time Milotic and I were on our way."
Where are you off to?: "Just off to study all of the beautiful things the world has to offer."
Anything fun planned?: "We're just off to study all of the beautiful things the world has to offer."
"You know, that sort of thing."
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Sygna Suit May
"How wonderful! That was an amazing battle!"
"She had such a serious look on her face, I couldn't refuse her request."
"Milotic and I accepted her challenge and faced her in battle."
"I see... So that's the source of the strength you and Blaziken have."
"Not at all!"
"I have no doubt in my mind that the two of you will continue to spread your wings and fly toward a bright future."
"Defeating Steven may not be such a far-off dream."
