Route 22

S.S. Anne

  • Before battle
"Bonjour! <player>! Imagine seeing you here! <player>, were you really invited? So how's your ok</sc>édex coming? I already caught 40 kinds, pal! Different kinds are everywhere! Crawl around in grassy areas!
  • Being defeated
"Humph! At least you're raising your Pokémon!"

Pokémon Tower

  • Before battle

  • Being defeated
"What? You stinker! I took it easy on you too!"
  • After being defeated
"How's your Pokédex coming, pal? I just caught a Cubone! I can't find the grown-up Marowak yet! I doubt there are any left! Well, I better get going! I've got a lot to accomplish, pal! Smell ya later!"

Silph Co.

  • Before battle
"What kept you <player>? Hahaha! I thought you'd turn up if I waited here! I guess Team Rocket slowed you down! Not that I care! I saw you in Saffron, so I decided to see if you got better!"
  • Being defeated
"Oh ho!RB/Oh-oh!Y So, you are ready for Boss Rocket!
  • After being defeated
"Well, <player>! I'm moving on up and ahead! By checking my Pokédex, I'm starting to see what's strong and how they evolve! I'm going to the Pokémon League to boot out the Elite Four! I'll become the world's most powerful trainer! <player>, well good luck to you! Don't sweat it! Smell ya!"

Indigo Plateau

  • Before battle
"Hey! I was looking forward to seeing you, <player>! My rival should be strong to keep me sharp! While working on my Pokédex, I looked all over for powerful Pokémon! Not only that, I assembled teams that would beat any Pokémon type! And now! I am the Pokémon League Champion! <Player>! Do you know what that means? I'll tell you! I am the most powerful trainer in the world!"

Unused victory quotes

As seen in the data of the Generation I games, Blue would say certain additional lines of dialogue when winning against the player, but those quotes are not seen in normal gameplay (other than "Yeah! Am I great or what?", which appears if Blue wins against the player in Professor Oak's Laboratory or in the early optional battle in Route 22, as noted above).

Route 22 (optional battle)

"What? Why do I have 2 Pokémon? You should catch some more too!"

Cerulean City

"Heh! You're no match for my genius!"

S.S. Anne

"<player>! What are you, seasick? You should shape up, pal!"

Pokémon Tower

"Well, look at all your wimpy Pokémon! Toughen them up a bit more!"

Silph Co.

"How can I put this? You're not good enough to play with us big boys!"

Route 22 (mandatory battle)

"Hahaha! <player>! That's your best? You're nowhere near as good as me, pal! Go train some more! You loser!"

Indigo Plateau

"Hahaha! I won, I won! I'm too good for you, <player>! You did well to even reach me, <rival>, the Pokémon genius! Nice try, loser! Hahaha!"

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal

Cinnabar Island

"Who are you? Well, it's plain to see that you're a trainer… My name's Blue. I was once the Champion, although it was for only a short time… That meddling Red did me in… Anyway, what do you want? You want to challenge me or something? …I hate to say it, but I'm not in the mood for a battle now. Take a good look around you… A volcano erupts, and just like that, a whole town disappears. We can go on winning and losing in Pokémon. But if nature so much as twitches, we can lose in a second. … That's the way it is… But, anyway, I'm still a trainer. If I see a strong opponent, it makes me want to battle. If you want to battle me, come to the Viridian Gym. I'll take you on then."

Viridian Gym

  • Before battle
"Yo! Finally got here, huh? I wasn't in the mood at Cinnabar, but now I'm ready to battle you. … You're telling me you conquered all the Gyms in Johto? Heh! Johto's Gyms must be pretty pathetic then. Hey, don't worry about it. I'll know if you are good or not by battling you right now. Ready, Johto boyGS/Johto ChampC?"
  • Being defeated
"What? How the heck did I lose to you? … Tch, all right… Here, take this-- it's EarthBadge."
  • After being defeated
"… All right, I was wrong. You're the real deal. You are a good trainer. But I'm going to beat you someday. Don't you forget it!"
"Listen, you. You better not lose until I beat you. Got it?"

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

Professor Oak's Laboratory

  • If talked before going into grass
"What, it's only <player>? Gramps isn't around."
  • After getting dragged into lab
"Gramps! I'm fed up with waiting!"
"Hey! Gramps! No fair! What about me?"
  • Before player chooses the first partner Pokémon
"Heh, I don't need to be greedy like you. I'm mature! Go ahead and choose, <player>!"
  • While choosing the first partner
"I'll take this one, then!"
  • After choosing first partner
"My Pokémon looks a lot tougher than yours."
  • Before battle
"Wait <player>! Let's check out our Pokémon! Come on, I'll take you on!"
  • After being defeated
"WHAT? Unbelievable! I picked the wrong Pokémon!"
  • If the player is defeated
"<first partner>, come back! Yeah! Am I great or what?"
  • After the battle
"Okay! I'll make my Pokémon battle to toughen it up! <player>! Gramps! Smell you later!"
"Gramps! I almost forgot! What did you call me for?"
"Alright Gramps! Leave it all to me! <player> I hate to say it, but you won't be necessary for this. I know! I'll borrow a Town Map from my sis! I'll tell her not to lend you one, <player>! Hahaha! Don't bother coming around to my place after this!"
  • When receiving National Pokédex:
"Hey, I heard that! Gramps, what's with favoring <player> over me all the time? I went and collected more Pokémon and faster, too. You should just let me handle everything."
"Gramps, calm down. Don't get so excited. I'll get the Pokédex completed, don't you worry about a thing. I think I'll try looking around One Island first… Anyways, I am outta here!"

Route 22

  • Optional battle
  • Before the battle
"Hey! <player>! You're off to the Pokémon League? Forget about it! You probably don't have any Badges, do you? The guard won't let you through without them. By the way, did your Pokémon get any stronger?"
  • After being defeated
"Awww! You just lucked out!"
  • If the player is defeated
"<current Pokémon>, come back! Yeah! Am I great or what?"
  • After being defeated
"I heard the Pokémon League is crawling with tough Trainers. I have to figure out how to get past them. You should quit dawdling and get a move on!"
  • Mandatory battle
  • Before the battle
"What? <player>! What a surprise to see you here! So you're going to the Pokémon League? You collected all the Badges too? That's cool! Then I'll whip you, <player>, as a warm-up for the Pokémon League! Come on!"

He invented the Pokémon Storage System on PC, too. Since you're using his system, go thank him. Well, I better go rolling! Smell ya later!"
"Oh yeah, right. I feel sorry for you. No, really. You're always plodding behind me. So here, I'll give you a little present as a favor. A chatty gossip like you… That thing's perfect. I don't need it because I don't give a hoot about others. All right, this time I really am gone. Smell ya!"

S.S. Anne

  • Before battle
"Bonjour! <player>! Imagine seeing you here! <player>, were you really invited? So how's your Pokédex coming? I already caught 40 kinds, pal. Different kinds are everywhere. Crawl around in grassy areas, and look hard for them."
  • Being defeated
"Humph! At least you're raising your Pokémon!"
  • After being defeated
"I heard there was a Cut master on board. But he was just a seasick old man! Cut itself is really useful! Yup, it'll be handy. You should go see him, too. Smell ya!"

Pokémon Tower

  • Before battle
"Hey, <player>! What brings you here? Is your Pokémon dead? Hey! It's alive! I can at least make them faint! Let's go!"
  • Being defeated
"What? You stinker!" I took it easy on you, too!"
  • After being defeated
"How's your Pokédex coming? I just caught a Cubone! I can't find the bigger Marowak. Where could they be? I bet there aren't any left! Well I better get going! I've got a lot to accomplish, unlike you! Smell ya later!"

Silph Co.

  • Before battle
"What kept you <player>? Hahaha! I thought you'd turn up if I waited here! I guess Team Rocket slowed you down! Not that I care! I saw you in Saffron, so I decided to see if you got better!"
  • Being defeated
"Oh man! So, you are ready for Boss Rocket!"
  • After being defeated
"Well, <player>! I'm moving on up and ahead! By checking my Pokédex, I'm starting to see what's strong and how they evolve! Am I a genius or what?

Indigo Plateau

  • Before battle
"Hey, <player>! I was looking forward to seeing you, <player>!/You came back, <player>! Hahah, that is so great! My rival should be strong to keep me sharp. While working on my Pokédex, I looked all over for Pokémon. Not only that, I assembled teams that would beat any Pokémon type. And now… I am the Pokémon League Champion! <Player>! Do you know what that means? I'll tell you. I am the most powerful Trainer in the world!"
  • Being defeated
"NO! That can't be! You beat me at my best! After all that work to become the League Champ? My reign is over already? It's not fair!"
  • After being defeated
"Why? Why did I lose? I never made any mistakes raising my Pokémon… Darn it! You're the new Pokémon League Champion! Although I don't like to admit it…"

Four Island*

"Hey! <player>! What are you doing here in the Sevii Islands? You should quit copying me, you know? Anyways, I already got my Pokémon Egg so I'm done with this island. Heh, I bet you don't even know about Pokémon Eggs. You'll never fill your National Pokédex that way. By the way, I saw someone we both know on this island. Why don't you go look around if it makes you curious? Me, I don't have time to waste. Be smelling ya!"

Six Island

"Hey, <player>! How's your Pokédex filling up? It looks like it's impossible to get all the Pokémon by hanging around just these parts. Maybe there are Pokémon we don't know about somewhere far away… … … … … … … … … … Well, if I can't do it, there's no way for you to get it done. I'm not going to get all desperate over this. I'll keep collecting Pokémon at my own pace while I train them. That's what I'll do. So there's no point staying here. I may as well leave for home. That's that, then! Smell ya later!"

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

Cinnabar Island

  • When first talked to
"Who are you? My name's Blue. I was once the Kanto Champion. Although it was short-lived thanks to Red… Anyway, take a good look around you…"
"A volcano erupts, and just like that, a whole town disappears. We can go on winning and losing in Pokémon, but if nature so much as twitches, we can be overwhelmed in a second… That's the way it is… But, anyway, I'm still a Trainer. If I see a strong opponent, it makes me want to battle."
  • If the player has less than seven Kanto Badges
"If you want to battle me… for real, show me how many Kanto Badges you've got. … <number of Kanto Badges>… You're not ready to battle me…"
  • If the player has seven Kanto Badges
"If you want to battle me… for real, come to the Viridian Gym. I'll be waiting for you!"
  • On Fridays, after defeating Red
"You are quite something! You defeated Red!? That's great! Let's take a picture together!"
Yes: "All right!"
"Thanks for the nice picture!"
No: "Oh, well..."

Viridian Gym

  • Before battle
"Yo! Finally got here, huh? I wasn't in the mood at Cinnabar, but now I'm ready to battle you. … You're telling me you conquered all the Gyms in Johto? Hahaha! Heh! Johto's Gyms are that pathetic? Hey, don't worry about it. I'll know if you are good or not by battling you right now."
  • After sending out last Pokémon
"Heh heh heh… You're unprepared for this. We'll knock you down!"
  • Last Pokémon on critical health
"Perhaps I'm the one who was unprepared?"
  • Being defeated
"This is the real power of Johto…"
  • After being defeated
"No way! How the heck did I lose to you? … Tch, all right… Here, take this. It's the Earth Badge."
"With this Badge, you'll be able to use the HM move Rock Climb! Here! Take this as well!"
"It contains Trick Room! It allows slower Pokémon to move before faster Pokémon for a while. It's a very tricky move, isn't it? Hence the name!"
"… All right, I was wrong. You're the real deal. You are a good trainer. But I'm going to beat you someday. Don't you forget it!"

Fighting Dojo

  • Before battle
"Good! Thanks for coming to lose to me!"
  • Being defeated
"Just as I expected! No wonder you've become the Champion…"
  • After being defeated
"Hahaha! My scare tactic doesn't scare you at all!"

PokéGear Phone

For registering Blue's number, see Daisy Oak
  • Calling him
"Hello…Whatever… Don't worry about me. I'm doing peachy over here! If it's not Sunday night, then I'm not available. Call then or forget about it!"
On Sunday evenings
"Hello…Whatever… Don't worry about me. I'm doing peachy over here! I was just looking for something to do! Wanna battle me again?"
Yes: "Whatever! I won't lose to you again, got that? I'll be waiting at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City."
No: "Whatever. Sounds like you're pretty busy yourself."
  • Before defeating all Gym Leaders
"Hello…Whatever… Don't worry about me. I'm doing peachy over here! Are there any Gym Leaders you haven't battled yet? Make your move! Show some initiative!"
  • If he is waiting at the Fighting Dojo
"Hello…Whatever… Don't worry about me. I'm doing peachy over here! I'm waiting at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City. C'mon, show a little initiative here!"
  • If the player is in a Gym or the Fighting Dojo
"Wha... I can't make out what you're saying! This connection is no good! Call from somewhere better, OK?"
  • If the player has made too many appointments to battle
"Wha…? Oh, C'mon… Haven't you made plans with enough other people?"
  • Blue calling the player
"I'm Blue. Man, this guy called Red brought me down in a heartbeat. I haven't seen him in a long time...I wonder where he is and what he's up to… Come to think of it, you look a little bit like Red. Yeah, you do. Just...Just a little bit. Whatever..."
"I'm Blue. When I look at Pokémon, I get a strange feeling—you ever get that? There's round ones, flying ones, swimming ones, flaming ones, freezing ones, shiny ones, dark ones—there are so many different types, and yet, they're all Pokémon. I mean, like Pokémon, there's not just one type of person, either… But it's still kind of strange when you think about it."
"I'm Blue. Anyway, you're really something. Traveling all by yourself, visiting all these different Gyms you find and beating them all… Well, you're not really alone…You've got Pokémon with you!"
If he is waiting at the Fighting Dojo
"I'm Blue. Remember we made plans to battle at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City? Wha...! Did you seriously forget? C'mon, I don't have all day!"

  • After winning
"You're tough, I'll give you that. But there's always someone better. You have to be more dedicated! Smell ya later!"
  • In the lobby, after the tournament
"Three wins and you've done it! Luck can also be a factor, and I'm still not satisfied at all! Oh, I didn't think you won because of luck, though!"

Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon

Battle Tree (first visit)
"You're <player>, right?
Yes: "See that Red! I've still got it!"
No: "Oh, really? Look, maybe you can fool Red with that kind of act, but not me!"
"The name's Blue! This guy is Red."
"Nice to meet you. And hey, congrats to you on becoming Champion of Alola! We were both Champions of the Kanto region, in our own days. Nice to meet a fellow Champ, yeah? What do you say, Red?"
"Still as silent as ever, eh?"
"Look, I'm a Trainer. So, if I see another strong Trainer, I'm gonna want to fight them. So how about a battle? Which one of us'll you choose?"
Red: "...Kch. Fine. Look, I'll heal your Pokémon for you, so you'd better show me an awesome battle."
Blue: "Yeah, you get it. Here, I'll heal your Pokémon for you, so let's you and me have an awesome battle! Here I go!"
  • Being defeated
"You're a pretty big deal! Amazing that I could lose!"
  • After being defeated
"You got me!"
  • After either he or Red is defeated

Battle Tree (proper)
  • Before battle
"Let's have a battle, first Champion of Alola!"
  • Being defeated
"OK! You're pretty good!"
  • If the player is defeated

Battle Tree (super)

  • Being defeated
"How did I lose? You really are the real deal!"
  • If the player is defeated
"This is what I, Kanto's top-level Trainer, can really do!"

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!

Pewter City
"Hey, you there! Newbie! Don't tell me... You've gotta be <player>, right?"
I am! That's amazing!: "Ha, I knew it! I'm always right."
How did you know that?!: "'Cause you look just like my gramps said."
"I'm Blue! I heard from my gramps that two new kids set out from Pallet Town to become Trainers, just like I did once. So I came to check you out! I was thinking you might want some advice on how to beat the Gym from an expert Trainer like me, but looks like I showed up too late, huh? Seems you're not too shabby yourself... So I guess you've earned a reward, newbie!"
"Those'll be even better for catching Pokémon than plain old Poké Balls. And hey, that thing you've got there... That's a Pokédex, right? So Gramps finally went and made one! He used to make me just scribble on a map with a pencil about where I encountered Pokémon... You'd better do a good job helping him out! He may be Professor Oak to you, and sure, he's an old coot, but he's still my gramps! Smell ya later, newbie!"
S.S. Anne
"Bonjour! If it isn't <player> and <rival>! Didn't think I'd be seeing the two of you here!"
"Not hardly. I got invited to the exclusive party for Trainers, but I'm pretty much done with this scene. I got plenty of party favors, too. Here... I can even share one with you."
"More importantly, though... you wanna know what I overheard at the party? You guys know about Team Rocket, right?"
They're the bad guys!: "Yup. There are all kinds of rumors going around about the things they get up to."
I battled them before...: "Seriously? You must be fearless or something, kid."
"Anyway, the point is this: Team Rocket is a dangerous group, and they're trying to use Pokémon to make themselves rich. I might do some digging into what it is they're really after... And you two'd better stay out of their path!"
Silph Co.
"Aw, don't be such a stick in the mud. You won't even let us have a little look around?"
"You and me are on the same wavelength, <rival>. We can't keep letting Team Rocket do whatever they please!"
That's right!: "Come on! It's time we did a little strategy planning!"
What do we do?: "We do whatever we can do!"
"...So in short, the plan is this: <player> is gonna drive Team Rocket out of Silph Co., just like he/she planned. But it'd be crazy to try something like that alone, so <rival> is going with him/her."
"While you pip-squeaks do that, I'm gonna do a loop around all of Kanto, squashing out Team Rocket wherever I find 'em! One of us is sure to find out where their boss is hiding. And while I'm at it, I'll swing by the Pokémon League to tell the bigwigs there what's going on."
"Maybe! So that's the battle plan, guys/guy and gal! Time to split up and put it into action!"
"...Heh. If only it were that simple. Fact is, there's one more thing we've gotta do here first. <Player>! <Rival>! If you want me to leave this place up to you two newbies, then prove that you're up to the task!"
"I don't care who goes first, so show me what you've got!"
  • If the player tries to walk away
"Hey now! You lost or something? I'm standing right here!"
  • Before battle
"So you're my first challenger, huh, <player>?"
Yes: "That's what I like to hear! Here I go!"
No: "Hmph. Your loss, I guess."
  • Being defeated
"Exactly what I'd expect from a Pallet Town Trainer!"
  • After being defeated
"Oh, man! So you really are ready for Team Rocket! I feel pretty good about leaving this place in your hands! Then you're next, <rival>! Come at me—I'm just getting warmed up!"
Professor Oak's Laboratory
"Gramps, no one ever laughs at that joke! Would you give it a break? And besides, we've already met!"
"Yeah, yeah. Sure, Gramps. More important than that, though... <Player>! <Rival>! You two did awesome!"
"With Team Rocket! I never thought that their boss would actually be holed up there at Silph Co.! And the two of you managed to take him down!"
"So what? You and your Pokémon did your best, too, right, <rival>? So I've got a little something for you two! As a reward for your hard work."
"The two of you should be able to use these well! These are Mega Stones!"
"You're gonna take on the Pokémon League, aren't you? Give these a try when you do!"
  • If talked to before leaving
"Oh. But what're you even doing back here in Pallet Town? ...What? Viridian City's Gym Leader is never at the Gym? Huh, that's odd... Maybe I'll go take a look myself..."
Viridian City
"Congrats, kid! Boy, though, what a shock... I never thought a criminal would use a Pokémon Gym as their hideout... ... ... ... That's it! I've decided! I'll look after the Viridian City Gym from now on! I don't really like to get tied down, so I've always said no when they ask about it, but... I'm finally ready. I'll be the Gym Leader from now on."
That's great!: "Thanks! With an awesome Trainer like me around, I'm pretty sure the Kanto region'll be safe from troublemakers like Team Rocket forever!"
I want to battle you!: "Huh? I mean, sure, but I think you've got a bigger challenge to face right now."
"So then, <player>... Time for you to take on the Pokémon League! Just keep going along Route 22 to the west of here, and you won't miss it. The Elite Four are tough opponents, but don't you dare lose!"
  • If talked to again
"The first challenger I'll have here... I'm sure it's gonna be <rival>! I'm gonna show that little upstart how it's done!"
Viridian Gym
"Stopped by to say hello, huh? Don't you worry. Now that I'm a Gym Leader, I'm gonna make sure that all the Trainers in Kanto are up to my standard!"
"Yo, <player>! Since I've become the Gym Leader here, the Viridian City Gym has really stepped it up! It's made each day pretty busy, though! By the way... what do you think of this Gym's design? It makes me look like some kinda bad guy, right? I've been thinking of remodeling the place. Well, it doesn't matter all that much, I guess. No matter the place, I'm still the best there is! All right! It's been a while since I've gone all out. So I'll show you the strength of a top Trainer!"
  • Before battle (subsequent rematches)
"Oh ho! Couldn't stand being away from my greatness? <Rival> just came by recently, too! That one's been getting pretty strong recently. You'd better watch out! All right! Let's get started! No way I'm losing this time!"
  • Being defeated
"Aw man, what was I doing?"
  • After being defeated
"As long as I can battle strong opponents, I don't care what happens! You get what I mean, right? You'd better come back again!"

"Yeah, I know we're a team. And maybe I'm just being selfish."
"But honestly..."
"I'm not even sure why I joined this team in the first place..."
"Leaf, when you first approached us and we started this team together..."
"It wasn't BAD, per se... Fighting on a team with you two was even kinda fun."
"But when we started facing tougher opponents, I felt myself starting to rely on you, Red. And then it hit me..."
"Why should I get pushed to the side while you get the spotlight?"
"I'm not your right-hand man–I'm your rival!"
"Lemme guess... Nothing to say, Red?"
"Look at me, getting all worked up while you stand there all cool..."
"Whatever, it's fine. Now's not the time. Just forget I said anything, all right?"
"C'mon, let's go! We're gonna be late!"
"Red..."
"So it wasn't just me?"
"Leaf..."
"Heh! What are you talkin' about?"
"I think you need to get your ears cleaned or something, Leaf."
"Didn't I just say that battling with you two actually ain't half bad?"
"Heh! All right, all right. I know now's not the time."
"Red! I'm gonna have to give you a rain check on our big showdown!"

"Heh, as if! Those pip-squeaks don't stand a chance against Red."
"First of all, he's my rival! And he's also the one who dismantled them the first time by taking down their boss!"
"Yeah. Also, I'M gonna be the first to break Red's winning streak. If anyone else wants a shot at that, they're gonna have to wait their turn!"
"Sounds good! You can leave the rest to us!"
"OK, listen up."
"These Rockets can be a nasty bunch. No biting off more than you can chew, you hear me?"
"Well, you wouldn't have to worry, anyway. Aerodactyl and I will protect you guys no matter what!"
OK!: "That's what I like to hear!"
Let's do this!: "Sounds like you're pumped up and ready to go!"
"Time to head out, then! Let's get this ball rolling!"
"It'd be great for us if it were that easy, but this doesn't seem right. It sticks out like a sore thumb."
"Yeah, most likely. But if there's a whole bunch of them gathered in one spot, there's gotta be a reason for it."
"I bet if we go further in, we'll get to the bottom of this!"
"How's everyone doing? Are your Pokémon all holding up OK?"
"OK, let's keep going. It's dangerous, so stay close!"
  • A Tricky Trap
"Wait a sec—where's Paulo?"
"What? Did we lose him?"
"Darn... That's on me..."
"That's what I'd like to do, but..."
"If we turn around, they'll get us from the back. We've only got one option, and that's to keep on pushing forward!"
"Paulo will probably do the same...which means we can meet up with him further in!"
"So...this is it?"
"Paulo!"
"No, I should be the one apologizing. I should've made sure we were all together."
"But you did great, getting through all those grunts on your own!"
"That aside, what in the world is going on here?"
"This place is completely empty!"
  • Off-screen
"Lt. Surge? What's wrong?"
  • On-screen
"WHAT?!"
"Darn... They pulled a fast one on us."
"We sent our strongest Gym Leaders and Elite Four members all over Pasio to find Team Rocket."
"They must've been planning to raid the lab all along... They were just waiting until we were stretched thin!"
"Gathering a bunch of grunts here in the ruins must've been part of that plan."
"Let's head back right away!"
"Sure. What is it?"
"Heh. You're as cautious as ever. I appreciate it, though."
"We don't have a solid reason to confront him about it yet...but we can keep an eye on him for now."
"I still trust him."
  • Seeking Strength
"We heard that they ransacked the professor's lab. Do you know what they were after?"
"I see... So they probably couldn't find the data and took her instead?"
"Tch. So we're back to square one."
"And we still haven't heard from Red, either... This isn't looking so good."
"I know how he's probably feeling right now... Being so fixated on strength that it makes you anxious...and reckless..."
"Paulo..."
"We're Pokémon Trainers... If he does end up going down the wrong path, I'll be right there to stop him...with a Pokémon battle!"
"OK! Let's get back to work, then!"
"There can't be too many places where Team Rocket could hide. If we search the island, we're bound to find 'em!"
"Yeah!"
  • Off-screen
"You better not have lost, Red..."
  • Rocket Hideout
"Morning, everyone! Guess what? We finally found Team Rocket's hideout!"
"Blaine, Lorelei, and I did a bit more searching last night."
"Nice! That's some solid backup."
"Erika and Misty will be helping us out, too! They'll take the side opposite of ours."
"We're about to infiltrate an enemy hideout..."
"It's gonna be pretty dangerous. Think you can handle it?"
Let's go save Professor Bellis!: "Yeah! That's our mission!"
We're definitely gonna win!: "Yeah! Let's save Professor Bellis!"
"Don't worry... He'll come."
"All right, it's showtime! Game faces on!"
"Got it. Thanks!"
"They just keep coming and coming! This is starting to get annoying!"
"Tch. If only Red were here..."
"Red?!"
"Where were you all this time?"
"Wait, you took out half of Team Rocket, then went into hiding so you and your Pokémon could recover?"
"You idiot! Why didn't you take me with you?!"
"If you took down half of 'em, I could've done the other half, and we'd be done in one go!"
"Hmph. Whatever. I'm just glad you're safe."
"And it's not too late to let loose on the rest of these amateurs!"
"All right. Let's settle this. Giovanni's up ahead!"
  • Giovanni's Gambit
"Show's over. Let Professor Bellis go."
"It's over, Giovanni. Just admit we got you beat."
"I see! I thought it was weird that we were seeing so many Team Rocket members!"
"This is bad! What do we do?"
"Wait, I know that look in your eyes! Don't tell me—"
"Whoa, hold on! You can't let Snorlax Gigantamax here! There's not enough space—you'll wreck the whole place!"
"We can't go back now! We won't make it in time!"
  • Off-screen
"Get out of here, everyone! Run!"
  • On-screen
"Phew... We barely made it out of there."
"You really don't know the meaning of "go easy," do you."
"That's right."
"Leave Team Rocket to us. We'll keep squashing them, no matter how many times it takes!"
"Yeah, I know. Now it's our turn to take the initiative."
"We just have to make sure we take down Giovanni before he figures out the secrets of these sync stones!"
"Let's hit the road! The sooner we take him out, the better!"
"Although...maybe I shouldn't work you guys too hard, huh."
"Sounds good to me! Thanks, you two!"
  • The Power Within
"Yo! You made it! We finally got this dude cornered."
"Pfft! Gimme a break! Who's the one who ran away the moment we showed up?"
"Give it up already, and hand over Professor Bellis's research data."
"What?!"
"Wait... Don't tell me—"
"Make it stop, Giovanni! This is getting out of control!"
"Wait, Misty. Red and I can go after Giovanni."
"Could you guys try to figure out what's going on?"
  • Malice
"That's enough, Mewtwo! Don't you want some rest? You can't even control your own power!"
"Don't worry, we'll set you free!"
"Let's finish it!"
"What do you think you're doing, Giovanni?"
  • Off-screen
"What are you talking about?! Why draw out all that power if you can't even use it?"
"What's going on here? Don't tell me—"
  • The Last Laugh
"Stop it, Giovanni! That's going way too far, even for Mewtwo!"
"Shoot. C'mon, Aerodactyl! We've gotta stop him!"
"No!"
"We shouldn't punish Pokémon for what humans do to them...right, Red?"
"Fine. We'll let you go this time, Giovanni. But you won't get away with this next time."
"Sorry, guys. We had to let him go, even after we had him cornered..."
"Yeah. The scary thing is, now we know what can happen when sync stones are misused."
"According to him, there's no good or evil when it comes to power, huh."
"Yeah, Red. I know. We'll stop him no matter how many times we have to do it!"
"Yeah, we were all in top form, weren't we?"
"Anyways, thanks for all the help! We should all team up again sometime!"
Yeah!: "Sweet! I'm looking forward to it."
Absolutely!: "Yeah, I'll be there for sure. I'm a man of my word, after all!"
"That's pretty cool. I wonder who they'll send!"
Main Story Villain Arc - Paulo - The Path Forward
  • Too Late for Guidance
"Yo! 'Sup?"
"You been keeping up with your training?"
"Is that so?"
"There's things you can gain from losing, y'know... And it's possible to get back some of the things you've lost."
"But if you throw something away... It won't always come back, Paulo."
"Let me help, too. I've got a lot to say to that kid."
"I can handle that. Cheren, can you check on Paulo?"
"OK. Let's take care of it nice and quick, Cheren!"
  • Flame of Hatred
"Paulo! Where are you?!"
  • The Last Evil
"Dang. I can't find Paulo anywhere!"
"It's like he can see through our every move."
"That idiot..."
"Hey, Tina! Where are you—"
Main Story Villain Arc - Final Chapter - Where Ideals Cross Paths
  • Once Again...
  • In flashback, off-screen
"My reign is over already?"
"It's not fair!"
  • On-screen, wearing his classic outfit
"Why? Why did I lose?"
"I never made any mistakes raising my Pokémon..."
Champion Stadium - Kanto Challenge: Normal
  • Summit of the Strong
"Yo, <player>! You came, too, huh?"
"You know why we're all gathered here, don't you?"
No, I don't.: "I'll tell ya, then!"
I'm sure it's for a good reason.: "That's right! We've got something fun in mind."
"You know how Champions and Elite Four members from all over the world have gathered here on Pasio?"
"It'd be a shame to let such a perfect opportunity go to waste."
"So, I figured I could give everyone a taste of the Pokémon League experience by having them face off against Elite Four members and a Champion!"
"Whaddaya think? Great idea, isn't it? Sure, I'm a former Champion now, but I'm way stronger than I used to be!"
"As you can see, we're all fired up and ready to battle!"
"You'll really need to prove yourself if you wanna take us on."
"Let's see... I bet someone who's got all the PML badges would give us some good matches!"
"Beating the Elite Four when they're at their best is no easy feat, you know!"
"The rules are different, too. You can face the Elite Four in any order you want, but you'll need a sure-fire strategy to get through to the end."
"And if you do beat the Elite Four, then you're up against me, and I'm even stronger than they are! You better come crazy prepared to take me on!"
"<player>... I'll be waiting for you at the top!"
"I'll battle you with everything I've got!"
"Till then, smell ya later!"
  • After completing Chapter 10 for the first time
"You can pass this point only if you have a Pride Badge. Oh! That's a Pride Badge!"
"I was imitating the guard from the Indigo Plateau! How'd I do?"
"Looks like you've gotten all of the PML badges. That gives you the right to move on to the tournament matches!"
"With skills like yours, I bet you could give us some good matches, too..."
"All right, then! I officially invite you to face us in the Champion Stadium!"
"Come and challenge us at our best! We'll be waiting!"
Champion Stadium - Victory Road
  • The Road to Hard Mode
  • Off-screen, as "???"
"It's still too early to celebrate!"
  • After appearing, as Blue
"The real challenge starts with Hard mode!"
"Yeah, it'll be tough unless you really understand the ins and outs of Pasio's three-on-three battles!"
"But y'know what? Pasio's also got the perfect training ground for super champions..."
"Victory Road!"
"There, you can really get a good understanding of how battles work... So maybe you should give it a shot!"
"I'm looking forward to another match with you all once you've upped your game even more!"'
  • The Ultimate Graduation Test: Part 1
  • Wearing his sygna suit
"Yo! You finally made it!"
"Heh. We're gonna see how much you've learned here on Victory Road!"
"Think of it as a graduation test of sorts!"
"On top of facing challengers, I gotta make sure the younger Trainers are getting better, too."
"Man, it sure is a lot of work, being a genius like me!"
"A-anyway!"
"Why don't you show us what you've learned! Give us all you've got!"
"I'm sure you're already aware, but we're not gonna go easy on ya!"
  • The Ultimate Graduation Test: Part 2
"...Heh."
"Well done! You pass with flying colors!"
"I'm sure you'll do just fine in Hard mode!"
"Who you choose is up to you!"
"Whoa. Looks like we've got ourselves quite the celebration party!"
  • Sync Grids Are the Key
"Congrats again, <player>. Actually, there's something I wanted to tell you."
"In order to beat the Champion Stadium in Hard mode, there are other things you can try out aside from what we taught you today."
"For example, you can check out your sync grid skills!"
"Unlocking skills on your sync grid can open up all sorts of different battle strategies for you to try!"
"When you get the chance to expand your sync grid, it's a good idea to check what kinds of skills are on there!"
"You'll need items called sync orbs to unlock those skills. Here, I'll give you some of mine."
"Keep up the good work, rookie champ! Smell ya later!"
Story Event - Reach for the Top
  • Intro
"I think I'm gonna go do some training. You can come watch if you want, I guess."
  • Making New Friends with Blue?
"Whew! I think that's good enough for today's training! How about we head back, Pidgeot?"
"Hm? What's up?"
"Oh, hey, it's <player>! Bonjour!"
"Bad timing! I would have let you battle me if you'd gotten here a little sooner. Oh well."
"When you're as famous as we are, Trainers'll challenge you every time you walk down the street! Pidgeot needs some rest now."
So you do have a heart!: "Of course I do! What kind of Trainer would I be if I didn't take care of my Pokémon?!"
Good thinking!: "Thanks! You've gotta get plenty of rest if you want to be on your A game. That goes for Pokémon AND for Trainers!"
"Hm? What is it? Ohhh... I know that look in your eye. You want me to give you some tips on battling, don't you."
"All right! First, let me introduce you to some other Trainers that are here on Pasio!"
"Hey! Flannery! Torkoal!"
"Wait, you two know each other?"
"Whoa, look at you! Sounds like you've already got a pretty good team going, don't you, <player>!"
"It's no easy feat to get a strong Trainer to acknowledge you as a teammate, so good going! Of course, she's not as good as me, but..."
"I wanted to introduce you two, but if you already know each other...I guess we can move on!"
  • A Thorny Reunion
"There she is. Heeey! Misty!"
"... ... ..."
"Don't tell me... You're on <player>'s team, too, aren't you, Misty."
"Hm, I see... Of course, if I were on the team, too, he/she would be even stronger."
"I'm just saying...he/she could learn a lot more from a stronger sync pair."
"I'm game for that! But just a normal battle would be boring..."
"There are a bunch of event matches going on all over Pasio right now for the PML."
"I heard one of them is a team-on-team elimination battle... You interested?"
"All right! Then <player> and Flannery are with me!"
"Because he/she can learn more that way."
  • The Final Showdown Awaits!
"You guys aren't bad! I didn't think you'd be able to keep up with me! Not a bad team we have here!"
"Huh, it looks like I just got a Poryphone message from Misty... Wait—what?!"
"She lost?! There's somebody in this tournament that could beat Misty?"
"I thought that she and her Starmie would easily make it to the finals."
So you admit that she's good./You had faith in her, didn't you.: "She's the Cerulean City Gym Leader. It's only common sense she would make it to the finals."
"You got sloppy, didn't you."
"A rematch?! You mean I've battled this guy before?"
"Ahhh, Bruno. So you're the one who beat Misty, huh? Guess that's to be expected from a member of the Indigo League Elite Four."
"..."
"Good call, Flannery. Bruno is the real deal."
"Flannery, <player>, time to get serious!"
  • Those Who Seek the Ultimate Strength
"You're right, Bruno. It's true. You guys are all strong sync pairs..."
"but my team went a step further, making sure we covered each other's weaknesses."
"Flannery, <player>... I think that battle was the best this team has done yet! Good job, guys!"
"I know a guy that I don't want to lose to. And I know that he continues to get even stronger."
"That's why I can't afford to stop."
"That's why I want strong Trainers to battle. So if you ever want another rematch, just let me know!"
"Well, I guess that means our little impromptu team is disbanding. It's been fun, <player>."
I had fun, too!: "Heh! Glad to hear that. You know you're on the right track if you're able to have fun."
I learned a lot!: "Make sure you remember how strong Pidgeot and I are, all right?"
"Here's hoping we can see each other again at some other tournament event."
"I have no intention of losing, so if you keep moving up the ranks, I'm sure we'll end up battling each other one way or another."
"I look forward to seeing how strong you become!"
Solo Event - Training with Legends
  • Ever-Greater Heights
  • Wearing his sygna suit
"I can tell just by looking at you that you've changed a lot since we first met. You're full of determination now!"
"Don't let it go to your head, though. That's just asking for trouble."
"Well, with strong Trainers like us as role models, the next generation of Trainers is definitely gonna give us some exciting battles to look forward to!"
"We wanna see for ourselves just how strong you're gonna get here on Pasio!"
"Wow, Red sure seems fired up about it..."
"I'm cool with it, too. We're strong Trainers on our own, but as a team, we'd be unstoppable!"
"I'll show you the secret to true strength! Try to keep up, OK?"
Story Event - Season's Greetings
  • New Year, Old Rival
"Hey, that's awesome, Silver. Better take real good care of those cards, eh?"
"Cool, thanks!"
"Wait, you guys are helping to deliver these?"
"Heh, what can I say? When you're as big as me, you rub elbows with a lot of important people!"
"By the way, do you know if Red and Leaf got the cards I sent to them yet?"
"Hahaha! The three of us all go way back!"
"But you better prepare yourself if you have cards in that bag for them!"
"Those two are always running all over the place, and they're notoriously hard to pin down!"
"That's a great rivalry you've got there! Reminds me of my Kanto days!"
"You, too! Be careful out there! Happy New Year!"
Story Event - Champion Time
  • Believe to Achieve!
  • Wearing his sygna suit
"I guess these Galar Trainers aren't too shabby!"
"After seeing battles like that, I'm starting to think this might end up being pretty fun after all!"
  • A Champion Time for All
"Go, Blastoise! Show 'em what we've got!"
"Man, I can't believe I lost! But at least it was fun!"
"I'm always battling Red, so I thought I knew everything there is to know about battling a Charizard."
"But it makes sense that even with the same Pokémon, different Trainers would come at you with different tactics."
"I wanna battle you again... And not just once!"
"Well...we're more like rivals, really!"
"I keep upping my game and getting stronger because I wanna beat Red! It's only a matter of time until I take him down."
"Oh, really? That rival of yours must be pretty good, given how strong you are!"
Special Sync Pair Event - Blue and Arcanine
  • Blue's Blazing Buddy
"Yo, <player>! So you made it."
"Did you want to meet my Arcanine, too?"
"I raised him from a Growlithe back in my Kanto days. Isn't he something?"
"He's on a whole 'nother level compared to all the other Arcanine out there."
"Heheh! Right? And to be honest..."
"I've incorporated what I learned from my battle at Cinnabar Gym into training this guy!"
"Y'know, I'm gonna start battling as a sync pair with Arcanine!"
"If we end up on the same team, all you gotta do is leave it to us!"
"We'll show you a battle just as hot as anything Red's Charizard can do!"
Find the Ditto impostors!
"Heh. Isn't it obvious? I think you might be losing your touch, Mr. International Police investigator!"
"The real Red is..."
  • Off-screen
"this guy!"
  • On-screen
"Pffft... It was easy."
"The fake wasn't giving off any of Red's usual "battle me right here, right now" vibes!"
"That was plenty enough evidence for me."
Story Event - Revel in Rivalry
  • Something Missing
"Your name's Bede, right? I hear you're from Galar."
"Gotta say, this was my first battle with you, but you're pretty strong! I'm impressed."
"Lemme stop you there. You've got talent, but you can't keep going like this."
"Keep doing things this way, and sure, you'll get strong to a certain point..."
"But you're not gonna be beating any Champions."
"Yeah, I am. You're definitely missing something."
"Here, I have just the thing for you. Y'see, there's gonna be an event soon..."
"It's called the New Stars of Pasio tournament. Feel up for that?"
"Everyone who joins this tournament will be randomly placed on a three-person team."
"Maybe battling with teammates will help you get a new perspective."
  • All Together
"What's wrong? If you don't think you can beat me one by one, I'm fine with taking you all on at once!"
"Oh, you guys! What's up?"
"Heh. Is that so? Gotta admit, I feel more secure with you guys here."
"Heh. It's about time you all got on the same page."
"I guess joining the tournament really did teach you a thing or two."
"Nah, I don't think you'll have to worry about that."
"I guess we're ALL on the same page."
"Right. Let's cut loose on these losers and head right back to the tournament!"
"Silver. Have you been doing that training I told you about?"
"Heh. Then let's see what you've got!"
Story Event - Threads of Strength
  • Preparing for Battle
"Yo!"
"It's been a while since I've seen you train this seriously."
"Do you think the Sinnoh Champion is that powerful of an opponent?"
"I know how you are..."
"Even if this is just a match for the festival, you're still gonna go for the win."
"I'll be looking forward to your match against the Sinnoh Champion."
"Just remember..."
"It looks like I won't have the chance this time, but the next time we battle, I'LL be the one to defeat YOU."
"And the same goes for Cynthia, too."
"Anyway, break a leg!"
Story Event - We Should Battle!
  • Right Person, Right Place
  • Off-screen, as "???"
"How about me, then?"
  • After appearing, as Blue
"I heard there was someone high-spirited around!"
"Whoa, hey! I asked first!"
"We'll take turns, OK? Me first, then you."
"Well, I've no problem with that!"
  • Full of Excitement!
"It's a special title you can earn on Pasio!"
"The idea was to find folks other than Champions who could be role models for others to measure up against."
"So if you enter certain tournaments and are judged worthy..."
"you're given the title of Neo Champion!"
"Also, there's nothing that says only one person can earn the title."
"I see! No wonder..."
"Heh, not surprised!"
"I see. Glad to hear."
"Isn't it great to have someone you can go all-out against?"
"Battling solo can be nice, but here on Pasio, it's standard to battle in teams of three."
"Interested in forming a team?"
"Hate to break it to ya, but I can't."
"I know who I'd like you to battle."
"But for that to happen, I can't be on your team."
"Heh, I'll be looking forward to when we battle again!"
"Smell ya later!"
  • Opponents, Friends, Rivals
  • Wearing his sygna suit
"Yo, Nemona!"
"Yup! These are who I'd like you to battle with all you've got!"
"Haha! That's the spirit!"
"That's the spirit! I'm liking you even more, Nemona!"
"Yeah. Looks like we need to get even stronger."
Neo Champions - Three Trainers, Three Minds
  • Professor Oak's Request
"You want us to be the judges or something? I'm not gonna go easy on them, you know!"
  • The Strongest Challengers
"I'm not trying to be cocky, but...are you sure we're allowed to participate?"
"That's true..."
"Hah, of course not!"
"Well, this gives us a bit of a challenge, then, doesn't it."
"I don't mind. What about you, Red?"
"It's decided, then."
  • Different Strokes
"All right, you two!"
"You better be ready, 'cause I'm gonna train you up good!"
"Yep, that's them."
"They're pretty strong for you two, but don't worry!"
"Once you've a few pointers from me, you'll definitely beat them."
  • Off-screen
"Yo, Leaf! Training going all right?"
  • On-screen
"It's almost scary how smooth mine is going!"
"Yeah. He doesn't talk much, does he."
"He seemed all in, but I've never seen him teach others."
"Yeah... I kinda have a bad feeling..."
  • Red's Intent
"I see Red challenged you to an all-out battle, huh."
"Well, don't go overboard with the tough love, Red."
"Just make sure your teammates don't run away before the judging, OK?"
"Don't be so nervous! Have confidence in yourself!"
"Both of you have already beaten a team of three Neo Champions!"
"(They should have the skills, but...)"
"(It's gonna come down to whether they can show them during the assessment.)"
  • A Fun Battle!
"Love and trust in your Pokémon..."
"I didn't think we did too bad, but I guess we can't beat Leaf, huh."
"This is it!"
"Hehe, of course!"
"Now then, next up is..."
"I'm not losing to you this time, Red!"
"Let's show them the results of our training, you two!"
"Ah, I get it..."
"No, I'm the one who should apologize."
"I didn't want to accept it, but...there are things I can improve on."
"Red."
"You were right again."
"Thanks..."
"But it's true I failed to teach you something."
"How to enjoy battling."
"Because I kept on teaching you to win, I made you afraid to lose."
"Of course. If a new Trainer lost to Red over and over again..."
"They wouldn't care if they lost to anyone!"
"All they'd care about is the joy of battling!"
""Let's enjoy battling together" may be a simple message...but it's very you, Red."
  • Wearing his Champion outfit
"No, that's not good enough."
"You'll never make it to the top if you're always following in someone's footsteps!"
"Then, one day, you can try to take us down!"
Story Event - Let's Go in Search of Wonder
  • Let's Ask Professor Oak!
"Great job! You're keeping up with me!"
Time Trial Event - Let's Go for Number One!
  • Chasing Distant Footsteps
  • Off-screen, as "???"
"Bonjour! Chase, Elaine, <player>!"
  • After appearing, as Blue
"You really had us on our toes—our teams made nearly the same time!"
"Nice work. But don't go thinking you're in for an easy win next time."
"Haha! That's the spirit!"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Blue
"Bonjour!"
"I was atop the arena when I saw you walking, so I thought I would come down to talk to you!"
You were on top of the arena?: "Yeah, the best way to get the lay of the land is to get a good look from as high as you can get."
Isn't that dangerous?: "Nah. Plus, the best way to get the lay of the land is to get a good look from as high as you can get."
"Pidgeot can fly at Mach 2."
"Not only that, but he can pinpoint a Magikarp a thousand meters below him."
"High places are Pidgeot's territory, to the degree that he and I might spend more time in the skies than on land."
"Yeah, you got that right."
"We've been all over the world, but Pasio really is a nice place."
It's really pretty.: "Yeah, while Pidgeot and I were flying around, we saw firsthand how pretty the island is."
"It shows how well this artificial island is able to blend into nature."
It's really bustling.: "Sure is. There are Trainers and their Pokémon gathered here from all over the world."
"We have plenty of people to battle, too, so that's also a plus."
"It's pretty much a paradise for Trainers and Pokémon!"
"I've got this rival, Red. You've seen him around, right?"
"You kinda remind me of him!"
"You're like a crimson flame quietly burning."
"But even though you're on the quiet side, you're hiding some awesome power, too, right?"
I wouldn't say that...: "Nah, even Pidgeot thinks so."
You might be right.: "No, I'm sure of it. Pidgeot agrees, too."
"That's why I have to take you down myself someday!"
"OK... Maybe that came out a bit strong."
"But anyway, I'm traveling around the world so that I can get even one step closer to being the absolute best."
"Right now, I don't think I'd lose to either you or Red!"
"What? Don't be overconfident? Come on, Pidgeot..."
"How am I supposed to keep my feet on the ground if I'm flying high with you, buddy?"
I'll blast you out of the sky!/I'll fly just as high and catch you!: "Ooh, looks like somebody can talk big! I like it!"
"But if you're gonna try your hand, I'd recommend you try sooner rather than later."
"We're as free as the wind, after all."
"If we get bored, we'll wander away to who knows where next."
"You're the same, too, aren't you? I can tell."
"Birds of a feather and all that!"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Sygna Suit Blue
"C'mon, <player>! You outta gas already?"
"Hah! You need to work on your endurance!"
"Hey now. My time as the Champion of Kanto was pretty short-lived, y'know."
"But sure, why not! Let's make it a tag-team match, though!"
  • Off-screen
"Don't just react to what your opponent does! Read their movements and act before they do!"
"Wait! Now you're getting ahead of yourself!"
"Watch and learn! This is how a Pokémon battle should be fought!"
  • On-screen
"Oh man! That was way too close! We almost lost!"
"This sygna suit I'm wearing may have been what saved us."
Your sygna suit?/What do you mean?: "The design of my sygna suit is based on Blastoise."
"It lets me fight in battles as if I've become Blastoise myself."
"We were in a tight spot just now. In situations like that, I feel like my sygna suit gives me a boost to help me power through."
"I never noticed that before! I should probably thank those two sync pairs for helping me see it!"
Yeah!/That's great!: "I bet that battle was a good experience for you, too, huh?"
"Giving everything you've got when you're already running on empty is hands down the best way to train."
"That's how we've always done it, after all."
You always train like this?/What do you mean?: "Blastoise and I have overcome a lot of tough situations over the years."
"There were lots of times when I felt so beat down, physically and mentally, that I didn't think I could keep going."
"But being in those tough situations would always fire me up. And the joy I felt when we overcame them was like nothing I'd ever felt before."
"Know what I mean? You gotta cherish the good times and the bad times that you spend with your Pokémon."
"That will help strengthen your bonds with your partner Pokémon. It'll give you strength and courage, too."
"Blastoise used to immediately retreat into his shell at the first sign of things going south."
"But now he's exactly the opposite. When things get tough, he cranes his neck as far out as he can to get a good view of the situation."
I see!: "I'm not just telling you my life story here, OK? I want you two to learn from this and get stronger as well."
That's so cool!: "Thanks. But now it's your turn to get stronger."
"Blastoise and I are working to become the strongest sync pair so we can beat Red..."
"but it'd be boring for us if all you future generations of Trainers didn't get stronger, too!"
"And I guess I don't really mind teaching people, either."
"I'm better at it than Red is, anyway."
"I can't even imagine him teaching anything to anyone."
"Anyway, I hope you're ready, 'cause I've got even more intense training coming your way!"
"It's time to get serious! We're not done until I say we are!"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Blue (Classic)
"Props for challenging me, guys. But today just wasn't your lucky day."
"Oh, <player>! Were you watching me battle just now?"
It was awesome!: "You don't have to be so dramatic. But thanks, I guess!"
It was shocking!: "I bet it was. Had to give 'em a little taste of what I can really do, know what I mean?"
"Hey, wanna know my secret to getting stronger? I bet you'd catch on pretty quick."
"First, you have to remember why you became a Trainer in the first place. Don't ever forget that."
"Also, a sync pair is only as strong as their bond, so you have to trust your partner—and earn their love and trust, too."
"And last but not least, you need a good rival!"
"Red and I have been rivals for ages, so we're both where we are now because of each other."
"Red's the best at what he does. So as his rival, I have to be the best, too."
"Does that make sense?"
Yeah!: "Heh, you must already have a pretty good rival of your own, then."
I dunno...: "That just means you haven't found a good rival yet. I'm sure if you look around, you'll find a ton of candidates, though!"
  • Off-screen
"L-Leaf?!"
  • On-screen
"Er...I mean, I guess I might've said something along those lines..."
"But I lost to Red soon after, and that's when I realized I had to change."
"Heh... I sure hope he does!"
"I actually wanted to explore more of Kanto together with Aerodactyl, but I kind of struggled raising him back then."
"I think it's probably because I wasn't ready to handle him at the time."
"But now, I think I am! And that's why I chose him as my partner Pokémon!"
"I also chose this outfit because I want to remember how I felt back then."
"Oh, but don't worry... I don't plan on losing this time."
"I'm gonna reclaim my title of world's strongest Trainer together with Aerodactyl! Anyone who disagrees can step right up and challenge us!"
"Heh... You're looking pretty confident, too."
"Perfect! Let's have a battle! I'll take you all down at once!"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Blue (Champion)
"Hm? Oh, <player>. What's up?"
That Pokémon...: "This is my partner, Zapdos!"
I followed Zapdos...: "Haha, I see! So Zapdos led you here, huh?"
"You might already know this, but Zapdos is one of the legendary bird Pokémon."
"I met it while I was training in Kanto after losing to Red."
"The moment I saw it, it was like a jolt of electricity ran up my spine."
"I knew that together with Zapdos, I could get ahead of Red and Leaf!"
"Well...after that, I learned they'd also teamed up with Moltres and Articuno."
"To be honest, it was pretty frustrating."
"I thought I was gonna be the only one to partner up with a legendary bird Pokémon!"
"But...I guess it's interesting this way."
"The moment I start thinking I'm getting a step ahead, they catch up to me right away."
"I guess that's what rivals do, though."
"I bet some might call it destiny, too."
"Have you ever felt that sort of destiny, <player>?"
Yup!: "Oh, you have? Awesome!"
I don't think so...: "Well, I think meeting you was my destiny!"
"The first time I ever felt that sort of destiny was when I met Red and Leaf."
"I don't know why, but I somehow felt that it was the start of a long-lasting connection..."
"I've gotten as strong as I am now because they were there."
"Red and Leaf will probably always be my rivals."
"We battle all-out with each other and keep going back and forth, winning and losing... And that's how we get stronger!"
"But obviously, Zapdos and I are gonna be the last ones standing!"
I'm cheering for you!: "Heh, thanks! I'll definitely live up to your expectations!"
You're so confident!: "Sure am! Together with Zapdos, I'm gonna become the most powerful Trainer in the world for sure this time!"
"Just you wait and see, <player>!"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Professor Oak
  • After tapping the Gengar in the second area, off-screen
"Aw, man! My cover was totally blown thanks to your Gengar, Granny."
  • After appearing
That sounds like Blue.: "Heh, that's right. Looks like we meet again, <player>!"
"She's got a point, Gramps! We're on Pasio, after all. How about a battle?"
"I'd like to see just how good of a Trainer you are for myself!"
"No kidding! You might even stand a chance in the PML if you tried, Gramps!"
  • After moving to the third area, off-screen
"Hey, Gramps! Quit running around so much!"
  • After appearing
"It's getting tiring for us to keep chasing after you. Give us a break for a bit... Huh?"
  • If spoken to in the third area
"I'll check over here and leave that way to you, OK?"
"Hey, Gramps. Am I seeing this right? Is that really..."
"What's going on? I've never seen Gramps like this before."
Mew looks ready for battle!/Mew looks like it wants to play!: "Go for it, Gramps!"
"Talk about bottomless energy! Mew seems like it could take on a whole crowd of opponents and still want more afterwards!"
"More than battling, it looks like it's just playing and having fun!"
"Hehe, Gramps! It's just like you said. Mew wants to go along with you!"
"Mew seemed really happy with how closely you were studying its moves in battle."
"Nice going, Mew! This way, Gramps has to take part in the PML!"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Red (Champion)
"Yeah, it's not just strong. The way it moves as it fights—almost like it's dancing—is sure to charm anyone who sees it."
What a beautiful Pokémon...: "Oh, hey, it's <player>! I'm surprised to see you all the way out here!"
"I'm pretty sure I heard that they met at the Seafoam Islands."
"Although Red had seen Articuno before actually coming face-to-face with it, and had been running around searching for it for ages."
"I think you saw it through some binoculars at the gate by Fuchsia City, right?"
"Well, Articuno still took a long time to warm up to Red, even after it was caught. It is a Legendary Pokémon, after all."
"After all, he's a "living legend"! Haha!"
"And I'm sure he'll keep showing us battles that live up to that reputation!"
"Of course...Red's not the only Trainer who's been recognized by a legendary bird Pokémon, you know."
"Of course!"
"If we weren't, none of this would feel worth as much to Red or Articuno, would it?"

  • During sync background preview
"I am the most powerful Trainer in the world!"
  • During sync background preview (Sygna Suit)
"That championship is as good as ours!"
  • During sync background preview (Classic)
"I'm gonna be the strongest Trainer in the world!"
  • During sync background preview (Champion)
"Then, one day, you can try to take us down!"
  • Random conversation
"Have you heard about me already? If you've heard I'm super strong, it's true!"
"I mean, your average Trainer doesn't even stand a chance against me!"
"... ... ... ... ... ..."
"Well, Red did beat me, but the next time we battle, things are gonna be different!"
  • If spoken to again
"It doesn't matter what kind of event it is or where it's being held. I'll always make it to the top!"
"That's the type of Pokémon battle I want to have, after all!"
  • Random conversation
"Pidgeot's my pride and joy. You should see how fast he can fly!"
"He can even carry me and fly to different towns!"
"My hair does get completely ruined by the time we reach our destination, though."
  • If spoken to again
"Don't you think my hair looks great?"
"I put a lot of effort into it so that it doesn't get messed up even when I'm flying with Pidgeot."
  • Random conversation
"I'm a Pokémon Trainer, through and through. I always want to battle the strongest opponents!"
"And I've got a rival, Red. We can throw everything we've got at each other, holding nothing back."
"I hope you can find a rival like that, too. One that will help you grow and vice versa."
  • If spoken to again
"Red doesn't say much, but he's an amazing guy. Full of love for Pokémon."
"Don't tell anyone I said this, but I respect him. There's so much I learned after I lost to him."
  • Random conversation
"Y'know, my hometown is a tiny little place out in the boonies of a faraway region."
"I don't go back much, really. I mean, I can get so much stronger! I need to keep training!"
"But my sis back home keeps asking when I'm coming home, every time I talk to her."
"What a bother, right? She doesn't get that a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do."
  • If spoken to again
"I guess my sis really doesn't get that I gotta do what I gotta do."
"Don't get me wrong, though. I know she's just looking out for me, and I'm grateful for that."
  • Random conversation
"You know, <player>, you remind me of him. Of my rival."
"You don't say much, and the way you look when you're with Pokémon..."
"You're quiet, but you've got that burning passion, too. Just like him."
  • If spoken to again
"It's hard to tell what he's thinking sometimes, you know."
"I've known him for a long time now, but there are still a lot of mysteries about that guy."
  • Random conversation
"You're aiming to become the strongest Trainer too, right?"
"I've got a word of advice for you, then!"
"Never forget to treat your Pokémon with trust and love."
"OK, to be honest, it's something my gramps taught me a while ago."
"But I try to live by those words, even today."
  • If spoken to again
"You can't become strong just by simply focusing on power."
"At the end of the day, it's a trusting relationship with your Pokémon that'll make a difference."
  • Random conversation
"Do you still remember the first Pokémon you caught, or the first opponent you battled?"
"I definitely remember, even now."
"How could I forget? It's the day my adventure began, after all."
"And my adventure isn't over yet. Not until my perfect partner and I defeat Red, and I become the most powerful Trainer ever!"
"Shoot, I don't even have enough time to catch my breath!"
  • If spoken to again
"Maybe you'll become a Trainer like Red, too, someday."
"When the time comes, I know I'll be super pumped!"
  • Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
"Hey, check out this outfit. Pretty cool, right?"
"Some serious craftsmanship went into making it, so it's perfect for battles where I take center stage!"
"Losing isn't an option in an outfit like this! That wouldn't be cool at all."
"You'll see! Blastoise and I are gonna show everyone just how incredible we are!"
  • Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
"Pasio is the perfect place for sync pairs to grow stronger."
"All you gotta do is go out and explore as much as you can whenever you have time."
"Spending time with your partner Pokémon lets you learn surprising new things about it, and it gives you a chance to reflect on yourself, too."
"There's a lot to be gained from it for both you and your Pokémon."
  • Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
"The jets of water that Blastoise fires can even pierce through thick iron plates!"
"With Blastoise by my side, I can blast right through any obstacle!"
"Well, other than Red, that is. I still can't figure out how to beat him."
"We'll beat him one day, though! And, when we do, Blastoise and I will be the strongest duo in the world!"
  • Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
"My Blastoise has been with me since he was a Squirtle."
"He's always been a gutsy Pokémon and as loyal as can be..."
"but he's become even more reliable ever since he evolved into Blastoise!"
"He's my partner Pokémon, and I know he's got my back!"
  • Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
"You're another Trainer I'm focused on beating, <player>. Just like Red."
"I admit, I consider you a rival."
"It's a little scary to watch you get stronger and stronger, but it's also kind of exciting."
"More strong Trainers means more worthwhile battles—which is a plus, of course—but there's more to it than that."
"Maybe I'm just happy to watch you grow and mature as a person, too."
  • Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
"The most important element of Pokémon battles here on Pasio is teamwork between sync pairs."
"No matter how strong a single sync pair is, they can't make full use of that strength without proper coordination with their team."
"When I first battled alongside you, I was worried that you might not be able to keep up with me. Not anymore, though."
"Now I consider you a trustworthy sync pair to have by my side in battles!"
  • If spoken to again
"We're here to help out when you're in need."
"I better not catch you trying to do everything by yourself, OK?"
"I put a lot of trust in you. Feel free to return the favor, too, OK?"
  • Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
"You should travel the world someday."
"Sure, there's no shortage of encounters here on Pasio, but the world is full of mysteries waiting to be discovered."
"I'm not just talking about new people and Pokémon, either. There are plenty of new things to discover in nature, too."
"A Pokémon Trainer's journey never ends!"
"I'm sure you'll feel the same way when you see just how big this world really is."
  • If spoken to again
"Traveling around the world can be pretty tough, but I'm sure you'll be fine."
"You'll always have your Pokémon by your side, after all."
"Besides, you can always rely on me, the mighty Blue, whenever you're in a tight spot!"
  • Random conversation (Classic)
"If you wanna know my origin story, I could probably sum it up in one word—Red!"
"I set off on my journey to complete my Pokédex at the same time as him. We've been rivals ever since!"
"What's your origin story like? Looking back on that can be important, you know."
  • Random conversation (Classic)
"Not to brag or anything, but I actually became the Champion of the Indigo League back in Kanto."
"Though...I lost to Red right after, so people started calling me the phantom Champion..."
  • Random conversation (Classic)
"This Aerodactyl of mine has kept things exciting ever since we met!"
"I mean, he was regenerated from amber! Doesn't get much cooler than that!"
"Aerodactyl is ferocious, so he's always ready for a good fight. All he wants to do is battle, day in and day out!"
  • Random conversation (Classic)
"This outfit I'm wearing is similar to the one I wore when I first started out on my Pokémon journey."
"Not bad, right? I still rock the look, if you ask me!"
  • Random conversation (Classic)
"Hey, <player>! Are there any Trainers you're hoping to be like someday?"
"If not, you should try to be like me! I'd be perfect."
"'Cause I'm cool and reliable! Oh, and don't forget that I'm pretty much the strongest there is!"
"There's no way you've already found someone better. Trust me."
  • Random conversation (Classic)
"As you already know, I'm the most powerful Trainer in the world! And of course, my partner Pokémon is also number one!"
"Aerodactyl can keep up even with the harshest training I throw at him! He's the strongest in the universe!"
  • If spoken to again
"Aerodactyl really sees Red's Charizard as his rival. Whenever they see each other, you can see sparks fly!"
"He really hates losing and just goes for what he wants. So he's the same as me."
  • Random conversation (Classic)
"There are a whole bunch of strong Trainers here on Pasio. Once in a blue moon, even I sometimes lose."
"That reminds me of all the times I lost to Red back in Kanto..."
"He was always stronger whenever I saw him...so I did everything I could to keep up with him."
"I guess that's why the two of us are as strong as we are now!"
  • If spoken to again
"When I was Champion and lost to Red..."
"it taught me what it really means to lose."
"But my guess is you already know something that important, huh?"
  • Random conversation (Champion)
"Now that I'm a Neo Champion, I'm gonna kick up a HUGE storm!"
"Better watch out! Don't get too scared when we come at you with our roaring thunder!"
  • Random conversation (Champion)
"Once the Kanto power plant was down..."
"It was a real pain in the neck. I couldn't listen to the radio or ride the magnet train in Saffron City!"
  • Random conversation (Champion)
"You might already know this, but Red, Leaf, and I all left Pallet Town to start our journeys at the same time."
"Even if our start was the same, we all took different paths."
"You can tell from our battle styles. The Pokémon, moves, and tactics we use are all different."
"It's interesting how you can see a Trainer's life in the way they battle."
  • Random conversation (Champion)
"Whoa, careful. Don't get too close to me right now."
"I was just petting Zapdos, so I've got a lot of built-up static electricity. If you get too close, you might get shocked!"
  • Random conversation (Champion)
"Hey, <player>. What do you think of my outfit?"
"Personally, I think it's pretty awesome."
"It's perfect for me and Zapdos!"
  • Random conversation (Champion)
"I got really excited when I caught Zapdos..."
"So the first thing I did after that was find Red and Leaf so I could brag!"
"But when I did, I saw..."
"they'd also caught Articuno and Moltres!"
  • If spoken to again
"I guess we were all thinking the same thing."
"But...if they couldn't at least do that, it wouldn't be worth being rivals with them!"
  • Random conversation (Champion)
"When I wear this outfit, it reminds me of when I became the Champion of Kanto."
"At the time, I really thought I was the strongest in the world."
"Now that I've come to Pasio and seen how big the world really is, I kinda laugh at my past self."
  • If spoken to again
"But...I've changed since then, y'know."
"I've got the perfect combinations to use with the perfect partner! And more importantly..."
"my trust in my Pokémon is top-notch!"
"Hah, maybe I really am the world's strongest!"
  • Special log-in conversation (generic)
"Yo, <player>! You came, too, huh?"
"I'll battle you, if I have time! Not like I'd lose anyway!"
  • Special log-in conversation (generic) (Sygna Suit)

"Hey! I was looking forward to seeing you, <player>! Heh, you look ready to take on the world and get stronger!"

  • Special log-in conversation (evening) (Sygna Suit)
"All right, I'm turning in for the night. When you're as awesome as me, you take care of business fast and go home early!"
  • Special log-in conversation (morning) (Champion)
"Bonjour! If you keep snoozing, I'm gonna leave you behind."
  • Special log-in conversation (afternoon) (Champion)
"Yo! I was getting kinda bored, and now I'm itching for some competition! Wanna battle me?"
  • Special log-in conversation (evening) (Champion)
"I start to think about a lot of stuff at night... Like Pokémon and what'll happen in the future..."
  • Special gift conversation
"Here, you can have this. It was tangled up in Pidgeot's feathers."
"Put it to good use, OK?"
  • After giving out item
"Pidgeot can fly at Mach 2! You wouldn't stand a chance if he hit you!"
"I remember one time, we ran into a flock of Swanna. They got super angry, and we had a high-speed air battle!"
  • Special gift conversation (Sygna Suit)
"Yo! I was looking for you. There's something I want you to have."
"It'll definitely come in handy in your adventures. Make good use of it, OK?"
  • After giving out item
"You can't be a good Trainer if you don't know how to use items properly."
"Knowing when to use each item is an important part of strategy!"
  • Special gift conversation (Classic)
"Hey! Got a present for ya!"
  • After giving out item
"Have fun with it! Smell ya later!"
  • Special gift conversation (Champion)
"Take this, <player>!"
  • After giving out item
"Find a use for it and get stronger!"
"It's no fun for me if you're weak!"
  • After completing Chapter 2: Defeat Team Break! (starting from version 2.0.0)
"Gramps and Mew, huh? That's gonna be a tough sync pair to beat!"
"Who would've imagined that Gramps would pair up with a Mythical Pokémon?!"
"Looks like we've got a powerful new rival! There's no way we'll let him beat us, though!"
  • After completing any co-op area on Hard difficulty (prior to version 1.5.0)
"Hey! Brock and Misty were telling me about you. It looks like you're getting the hang of Pokémon battles!"
"I'll teach you more advanced techniques. You'd better not blow me off!"
  • After completing Training Area: Switch-In Moves! for the first time (prior to version 1.5.0)
"Hey, not too shabby! But then again, I'm the one teaching you, so it's only natural!"
"Maybe you can become as good as me someday! Don't let that get to your head. You gotta keep training for that to happen!"
  • Special Flying Types Incoming! solo event intro
"Oh! Hey, <player>! I've got something good to tell you."

"But that's something to look forward to tomorrow!"
  • Special Countdown to Three Years log-in conversation with Lance and Steven
"Everyone on Pasio sure seems excited for the festival."
"That's great and all, but that guy Lear..."
"Don't you think he's using our names a bit too much to promote Pasio?"
"But I'm a former Champion!"
"Fair point. I guess I'll just enjoy myself!"
"Hahaha! I like that!"
"You both talk pretty harsh... But firing up that rivalry and competitive spirit is good."
"Pasio's future is bright for sure!"

"Bonjour, <player>! I was about to go train. You want to join me?"
"If you talk to the other Trainers on Pasio, you get to hear how different the leagues are in all the other regions! It's some interesting stuff!"
"Take the Galar region, for example. Most of their Pokémon Gyms are huge stadiums where spectators can enjoy watching the battles."
"Once a year, Trainers in Galar compete in a tournament for the chance to battle the Champion, and the whole thing is televised for everybody!"
"Man, I'm getting pumped up just thinking about it! Once we win here on Pasio, let's go try our hand in Galar, too!"

"Same goes for you, too, huh, Red?"
  • Special Training with Legends solo event blurb (wearing his sygna suit)
"I'm ready to show you what I've got!"
"This sygna suit makes me feel like I could take on the world!"
"I have to challenge everyone I see to a battle! I just can't help myself!"
"It sure is! Pasio is the perfect place to get stronger."
"I managed to find a new goal here, too."
"Y'know how we've met a lot of up-and-coming Trainers here on Pasio who all admire us?"
"I feel like it might be our duty to watch over them."
"Don't get me wrong, though. I'm still gonna get way stronger, too!"
"What kinda question is that to suddenly spring on us? And yeah, of course I remember!"
"Yeah, I think I get what you mean!"
"I can remember back when Gramps let me choose my first Pokémon."
"It felt like the beginning of a great adventure!"
"You feel the same way, don't you, Red?"

Friendship Story - A Special Day with Blue: Part 1
"C'mon, <player>! Don't tell me you're tired already!"
"You can't be the best if that's the best you can do!"
"Though...I gotta admit, it IS impressive that you finished this amount of practice."
"I always knew you had potential!"
"After all, you're the only one going through this much of my training!"
"Even my Trainers back at Viridian Gym couldn't handle this much, so you should be proud of yourself!"
(Praise him for being a good teacher.): "Heh. Of course I'm awesome!"
(Grin proudly.): "Hey, shouldn't you be thanking me?"
"Well... I say that, but I'm still learning how to be a better mentor."
"At the very least, I know I'm better at this stuff than Red is! He'd be too quiet!"
"That's why I'm glad you came to me, anyway!"
"Just you wait and see–I'm gonna beat Red someday. I've never given up on that."
"But y'know what?"
"If I teach a Trainer everything I know, and they end up beating Red..."
"I think I'd still be happy about that–almost as if I had done it myself!"
"I've started feeling that way as I watched how much you've grown here on Pasio, <player>."
"Which is why... Uh..."
"I know I'm tough on you, but I hope you keep coming back to me for your training!"
"As rivals, let's see who can take down Red first!"
Friendship Story - A Special Day with Blue: Part 2
"I hear you had an awesome match with Red! Keep up the good work!"
"It's my treat today. Let's celebrate!"
(Tell him you want to train.): "You're a strange one, you know that?"
"Noted! But first, get some food in you!"
"I'll help you with your training after that!"
(Tell him you're going to eat a lot.): "Haha! Go on, order as much as you want!"
"Once you've had your fill, I'll personally see to your training!"
"Y'know, it's really amazing that you did so well in a battle against Red."
"But don't get too comfortable, or you'll start to fall behind."
"Trust me...I speak from experience."
"Remember, there's always something you can improve to get even stronger. That's really important."
"Honestly, though, I really am glad that you put up a good fight against Red."
"The fact that you battled toe-to-toe with him isn't just because I'm your mentor. That was all you!"
"You can't just take what you've been taught at face value. It's also important to find a way to use it that works for you!"
"So be proud of yourself! That's a mentality all the strongest Trainers have!"
Friendship Story - A Special Day with Leaf: Part 2
  • On recording
"Leaf's my friend AND my rival!"
"She's pretty good when it comes to battling!"

"That's a little much, don't ya think?"
