Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

Twinleaf Town
  • In front of his house
"Thud!! What was that about?! Oh, hey, <player>! Hey! I'm going to the lake! You come too! And be quick about it! OK, <player>? I'm fining you $1 million if you're late! Oh, jeez! Forgot something!"
  • In his room
"...I'd better take my Bag and Journal, too... Oh, hey, <player>! We're going to the lake! I'll be waiting for on the road! It's a $10 million fine if you're late!"
Route 201
"Hey, you saw that news report that was on TV, right? You know, "Search for the Red Gyarados! The mysterious appearance of the furious Pokémon in a lake!" That show got me to thinking. I'll bet our local lake has a Pokémon like that in it, too! So, that's what we're gonna do. We'll go find a Pokémon like that!"
  • If talked to again
"All right! Let's move out! Hustle up!"
"Hey, if we run into a Pokémon, I'm gonna catch it somehow. Because I'm gonna be a Pokémon Trainer. You know what a Trainer does, right? Makes Pokémon battle and all that?"
"All Pokémon have different moves, huh? A Trainer makes his Pokémon battle by ordering them to use moves. That's so awesomely cool."
"I want a Pokémon of my own, and not too soon, either. I'd be able to go everywhere with my Pokémon that way."
"That lake has a mirage Pokémon living in it. Everyone says nothing lives there, but I know I'm right."
"I'm gonna become a Pokémon Trainer for sure. Not just any Trainer either. I'm going to be the greatest ever. That's my dream."
"Hey, that's enough talking already. I'm itching to get going to the lake. Come on, come on!"
  • If the player attempts to walk into the tall grass
"Remember what your mother said? Mom: "<player>! Don't go into the tall grass!" "Remember, wild Pokémon may attack you if you're walking in tall grass." "It would be OK if you had your own Pokémon, but...""
  • After the events at Lake Verity
"Hey, it's those people! Is that old guy staring at us?"
"What was all that craziness about? I mean, if he was angry, he could've just yelled at us, or whatever... And didn't he want their Pokémon back...? <player>... We should go home, too...
Verity Lakefront
  • Before the events at Lake Verity
"All right! To the lake! Let's find us a red Gyarados!"
  • After the events at Lake Verity
"You go ahead ...I know we have to go return these Pokémon. They're not ours. But I want to spend just a little more time with this little guy..."
  • If spoken to
"We didn't have any choice in using those people's Pokémon, right? But these Pokémon belong to them... They'll want them back, won't they? But this is the first Pokémon I've ever battled with..."
"I wish I could grow tougher with this little guy..."
"I don't feel like talking... Let's go. ...Are we maybe walking slower than when we went to the lake?"
  • If the player attempts to enter Lake Verity
"Hey, hey! Where do you think you're going? We have to go return these Pokémon..."
Lake Verity
"What's going on...?"
"What was that about? Those two... Huh? <player>! Let's go check this out! ... ... What's that? Don't go into the tall grass? No problem, no problem! We won't be in there long enough for a wild Pokémon to come out."
"It's... A briefcase? Those people forgot it here. What are we supposed to do with it? We can try to deliver it, but who are they? I heard them say professor..."
"Waaah! Po-Pokémon?! What's going on?!"
  • When selecting a Pokémon
"Look! These are Poké Balls! Let's battle using these! Eh...? Which one do you want then?"
  • After the battle
"Fwaaah! Your Turtwig/Chimchar/Piplup totally rocked! But my Chimchar/Piplup/Turtwig was way tougher than yours! ...They were other people's Pokémon, though... But we had to use them... They won't mind, will they?"
"What was that about? I don't know what's going on. <player>, let's get out of here. My Pokémon got hurt from that battle. If we get attacked by another Pokémon, we might be in trouble."
Sandgem Town
"Thud!! What the... Oh, it's you, <player>! That old guy... He's not scary so much as he is totally out there! Aww, it doesn't matter, <player>. I'm out of here. See you later!"
Trainers' School, Jubilife City
"Hey <player>! Did you come to study, too? I went ahead and memorized everything that was up on the blackboard. After all, it's the Trainer's job to avoid having their precious Pokémon hurt in battle, right? So, <player>, what brings you here? Huh? You've got something for me?"
"So, what is this...? Score! It's a Town Map! Huh?! Why are there two in here? I like it a lot, but I don't need two. Here, <player>, you take one!"
  • After receiving the Town Map
"Hmm... Well, according to the Town Map, I guess Oreburgh City is where I should be going next. There's a Gym, so it'd be perfect for raising the Pokémon I just caught. Well, I'm on the road to becoming the greatest Trainer of all time! See you around!"
Route 203
  • Before battle
"Hey! <player>! Tell me you got a little tougher! Me? Do you even need to ask? Of course I got tougher! Come on! Let's battle it out!"
  • After his first Pokémon is damaged
"Don't get cocky, kid! This isn't over yet!"
  • When his last Pokémon is at low health
"My Pokémon's HP is low... This could be a close fight."
  • Upon defeat
"What just happened? I lost?!"
  • After battle
"Waah! What do you mean I lost?! Well, that's it! That's the last time I'll ever lose! I'm going to be the world's toughest Trainer, and you know it! The first thing to do is take on the Oreburgh City Pokémon Gym! I'm gonna toughen up for that, totally!"
Oreburgh City
"Hunh? Oh, it's you, <player>! You finally got here? You're slow like always. You're so slow, the Gym Leader's long gone now. He said he had to go... Uh… Oh, yeah, to Oreburgh Mine! I got my Badge already, so it's no big deal to me, but..."
  • If talked to again
"I told you, the Gym Leader isn't here. If you want to take the Gym challenge, you have to go down to the mine and ask him. But, boy, a Gym Leader is in a different class of toughness. Even I'm feeling run down."
"Thud!! Whoops! <player>! You got the Gym Badge, huh? Eterna City is the next place with a Gym that gives away Badges, right? So, yeah, I went to Route 207, but you can't go there without a Bicycle. I made my team battle and toughened them up, so it wasn't a waste. So, I'm going back to Jubilife City. Next stop, the Eterna Gym Badge! Ten seconds before I dash! Nine... Bah! Who's got time to count?!"
Hearthome City
  • Before battle
"Ta-daah! Kept me waiting again, <player>! Let's see how much tougher you and I have gotten, right here and now! Hey, you're a Trainer now. You're expected to be ready for a battle. No whining! No waiting! Let's get the show started!"
  • After his first Pokémon is damaged
"Oh, yeah? I'll show you something wicked, too!"
  • When his last Pokémon is at low health
"What the?! We're in trouble?! But there's no giving up on me!"
  • Upon defeat
"What just happened?! You're telling me I lost?!"
  • After battle
""Waaaagh! You KO'd my team again?! This messes up my dream of becoming the greatest Trainer ever... No! I just need to get tougher and keep winning. One day... That's it! I'm going to challenge the Veilstone Gym next! See you around, <player>! You'll be blown away by how much tougher I'll be next time we meet!"
Pastoria City
  • Before battle
"Whoops! Hehehe! I'm not going to plow into you every time we meet! So how's it going, <player>? Buffing up your Pokémon, eh? I'll test you and your Pokémon out to see how buff and tough you are!"
  • After sending out his last Pokémon
"Yeah, I can tell you raised your Pokémon to be tough!"
  • Upon defeat
"What just happened?! You're telling me I lost?!"
  • After battle
"Heh, yeah, maybe you did get a bit tougher since last time. That even shocked me a bit, so yeah, I got beat 'cause I was careless. So, hey, what was that Team Galactic guy all freaking out about? I don't know what he's up to, but you should chase him down! If you're not a Pokémon, and you run like that... You're a bad guy. All right, <player>! Next time, I'm not holding back!"
Canalave City
  • Before battle
"Whoops! Hey, <player>! You're going to challenge the Gym Leader up past here, eh? Someone should check to see if you're ready for this challenge! That someone is me! With my brand-new Gym Badge!"
  • After sending out his last Pokémon
"We've gotten out of tighter spots than this plenty of times before!"
  • Final Pokémon at low health
"We're not done yet! Neither me nor my Pokémon have given up!"
  • Upon defeat
"What just happened?! You're telling me I lost?!"
  • After battle
"Yeah, yeah, you're just a bit better than me, as usual. But listen up! Let me tell you who's going to take on the Pokémon League and become the Champion. You guessed right! It's going to be me! Anyway, you should be able to take the Gym Leader here. Hurry up and go make the challenge!"
  • After player beats Leader Byron
"Hey! That's the Mine Badge! Good going! You're tough enough to consider becoming the Pokémon Champ. Of course, I'm tougher, so it's not going to actually happen. Anyway, <player>, come with me to the library."
"Hey, <player>! Over here! This way! OK, gramps! I brought <player> like I said! Alright, I'll be outta here!"
"...OK... I get it..."
"What are you saying? I didn't get no Pokédex!"
"Uh, sure, Gramps, you know how to call it! You can tell I'm the hotness!"
  • Outside Canalave Library, after explosion in Lake Valor
"Gramps! I'm going to the lake! I have a bad feeling about this!"
Lake Acuity
"What are you doing? You're not supposed to be here. There's nothing here anyway. If anything were to happen, it's in my good hands. I've got my trusty Pokémon with me for one. And more than anything, I'm tough, and you know it!"
  • If talked to again
"What'd I say? I told you I'll be OK by myself. If you haven't gone yet, go challenge the Sunyshore Gym. I have a feeling things are going to keep getting tougher. It could be rough if you don't collect up some Gym Badges.”
"! You're not getting away with this, Team Galactic!"
"... ... Yeah, that's right! I couldn't do anything against Team Galactic! That Pokémon called Uxie... It was suffering... I'm going to get tougher... It's not about winning or losing... That's not good enough... I have to be stronger..."
Spear Pillar
"Hold on one second! Don't you start the party without me!"
  • After beating Mars and Jupiter
"...Heh. My Pokémon are tough, right? I can get even tougher! ...But, you know, that's it for us. We've hit the wall... <player>, I'll help you with this! Hey, <player>! This is it! It's your show now!"
Pokémon League
  • Before battle
"Hold it! Don't go off without me! You're challenging the Pokémon League, aren't you? That's why I'm here, too. Let's see who's more worthy of making the challenge with a battle!"
  • Last Pokémon send out
"I fully believe in this last one. I have no reason to freak out."
  • Last Pokémon at low health
"We're not finished yet! We'll get out of this spot because we're so tight!"
  • When defeated
"What just went down?! My team still needs raising?!"
  • After being defeated
"I guess I'm not ready for the Pokémon League if I'm losing to you! Darn it! You watch, though! I'll get tougher and win my way through the Pokémon League! Because I'm going to become the Champion, the toughest Trainer! <player>! You'd better not lose to anyone before me!"
Fight Area
Oh, hey, <player>! What took you so long? I'm fining you $100 million! Listen up. I'm going to become the greatest Trainer ever. That's why I'm here--to toughen up myself and my Pokémon!"
"So? What's the big deal? If I find that treasure first, that'll make me the greatest Trainer ever? That's what I'll do, <player>! And you too, stranger! I'm gonna get the treasure first! But before that, I'm going to the Battle Tower! See ya!"
  • Weekend battles
  • Before battle
"Hey, <player>! You're not the only one who's getting tougher, you know! I'll prove it to you! Get ready to battle!"
  • Last Pokémon at low health
"Oh, yeah? When the going gets tough, my Pokémon get tougher!"
  • When defeated
"What just went down?! You're telling me I lost again?!"
  • After being defeated
"...! It's OK, though. <player>, the tougher you get, the tougher we can get, too. There's no end to Pokémon. That's what I'm saying, <player>!"
Battle Tower
"Thud!! What the... Oh, hey, <player>! You came to the Battle Tower too, huh? I decided I'll see how I measure up before going to Stark Mountain. But that guy that you were just talking to... ...Nah, it's all right! I got here on my own power. It won't take long before I see him. See ya, <player>! I'm going to toughen up here!"
Route 227
"...For someone born overseas, that tough dude doesn't have an accent or anything. <player>, there's a volcano ahead called Stark Mountain. That blowhard Buck is on his way there, as well. I'm going to find the volcano's treasure before that guy does. If I could do that, a 21-win streak at the Battle Tower'd be possible!"
Stark Mountain
"Darn it! What was that all about?! Oh, hey, <player>. That Buck guy wiped us! Oh, man... There's always tough Trainers around everywhere. But you know? Losing means I have room to become even tougher. That's why there's the Battle Tower in the Battle Zone."
  • If talked to again
"Darn it! I'm still choked up from losing. But you know? Losing means I have room to become even tougher. That's why there's the Battle Tower in the Battle Zone."
  • After Buck gets the Magma Stone and after he returns it
"Hey, <player>! Are you still raising your Pokémon? Me? You need to ask? Of course I am. They're my partners! I'm going to rule at the Battle Tower with them. I'll prove how strong we've become and totally shock the guy there."

Pokémon Platinum

Twinleaf Town
  • In player's room
"There you are! Hey, <player>! Did you just see the TV? Sure you did! Prof. Rowan's that really important guy who studies Pokémon, right? That means he must have lots and lots of Pokémon. So, if we ask him, I bet he'd give us some Pokémon! Oh, hey! Is this a new PC?! Uh... Where was I? Oh, right, right! We're going to go see Prof. Rowan and get some Pokémon. I'll be waiting outside. OK, <player>? If you're late, I'm fining you $10 million!"
  • In front of his house:
"Thud!! What was that about?! Oh, hey, <player>! Hey! I'm going to see Prof. Rowan! You should come, too! And quickly!"
"Oh, jeez! Forgot something!"
  • In his room
"...I'd better take my Bag and Journal, too... Oh, hey, <player>! I'll be waiting on the road! It's a $10 million fine if you're late!"
Route 201
"Too slow! All right! Let's get moving to Prof. Rowan's lab. ... ... What? Don't go into the grass, right? No worries! No problem! It doesn't matter that we don't have any Pokémon. Trust me on this one. I've got an idea! Now listen. You know how wild Pokémon jump out when you go into tall grass? So, what you do is, you scoot over to the next patch of grass before any wild Pokémon can appear! If we just keep dashing, we can get to Sandgem Town without running into wild Pokémon! OK, stick with me! OK, here goes! On your marks..."
"... ..."
"Hey, <player>. This old guy... It's Prof. Rowan, isn't it? What's he doing here...?"
No: "Whoa, hold up! You're not making any sense here!"
Yes: "Me, too! I love Pokémon, too!"
"What?! You can ask a hundred times! The answer will never change! We'll both answer a hundred times, we love Pokémon! Right, <player>?"
No: "... That joke's getting old!"
"...Uh... Well, I, uh... ... ... Well, then forget about me, but give a Pokémon to my friend here! I mean, it was me who tried to go into the tall grass and all..."
"Really?! Prof. Rowan! I can't believe it! I'm so happy now that I can't keep a straight face! Hey, <player>. You can choose first. Hey, I'm practically a grown-up. I have to show some class here."
  • If player talks to him
"Hey, <player>. You can choose first. Go ahead. You know, like, I'm gonna be a man about it. Yeah, I'm slick."
  • If player attempts to leave
"What's up with you? Open the briefcase and pick a Pokémon!"
  • After choosing first partner
"Then, I choose you! I'm picking this Turtwig/Chimchar/Piplup
"How do you like that? Prof. Rowan's really nice. On TV, he seems so stern and scary. Heheh, <player>! We've both got Pokémon now. There's only one thing to do, right? Are you up for this?"
No: "What's with that attitude? Don't be that way!"
Yes: "I've always wanted to say this... The time has finally come! <player>! I challenge you to a battle!"
  • First hit
"What in the...?! That one hurt, you!"
  • First partner Pokémon below half HP
"No way! We can keep going! This is where we hit our stride!"
  • Upon defeat
"What are you saying?! We ended up losing?!"
  • After battle
If the player won: "Whew! Let's go home."
If the player lost: "Aha... Ahaha... I won? I won! But that battle, it could've gone either way. It was that close! I can tell you one thing: battling is awesomely fun! OK, let's go home."
"I'm beat after that battle. My Pokémon needs rest, too. See ya, <player>!"
  • After receiving the Running Shoes
"Too slow! <player>, I'm sick of waiting! I'm going to go see Prof. Rowan, so I can thank him properly. So, I had this great idea. Listen up, OK? You know the lake where we always play at? You know they say a legendary Pokémon lives there? You guessed it! Let's catch that Pokémon. That'll make Prof. Rowan happy. I'm sure of that! Me and you together, we've got nothing to fear!"
  • If talked to again
"That Pokémon battle... Wasn't that wickedly fun or what? I mean, I'd pick the moves, and my Pokémon would use them! Yeah, I'm going to battle tons and get real close with Pokémon."
"Pokémon all have different moves, huh? A Trainer makes his Pokémon battle by ordering them to use moves. That's so awesomely cool."
"Do you believe it? I can hardly believe it. You and me, we're Pokémon Trainers all of a sudden. Man, we've got tons to learn about being a Trainer. But seeing this Poké Ball with this Turtwig/Chimchar/Piplup inside... It makes me feel like I can do anything! Nothing's impossible!"
"That lake has a mirage Pokémon living in it. Everyone says it's just a legend, but I know I'm right."
"Hey, do you know about the Champion? There's this out-of-this-world tough Trainer who gets call that. Well, I'm gonna get so tough, the Champ has to battle me. You watch! With this little guy here, I'm sure I can get that tough."
"Hey that's enough talking already. I'm itching to get going to the lake. Come on, come on!"
  • If the player attempts to walk into the tall grass:
"Hey, <player>! I said, the lake's not that way!"
  • If the player attempts to return at Twinleaf Town:
"Heheh, <player>. The lake's not that way."
Verity Lakefront
"All right! We're at the lake! Get ready, because we're capturing that legendary Pokémon. Trust me on this one. It's here. It even says so on the sign!"
Lake Verity
"What's going on...?"
"What was that about? Weird guy... OK, <player>! Let's catch that legendary Pokémon!"
"! Did you hear that, <player>?! That was the legendary Pokémon crying! That had to be it! OK! This is our chance! Let's catch it! ...Wait! What...?! We don't have anything on us! You know, Poké Balls! P-O-K-accent-E Balls! If we don't have those, we can't catch Pokémon or take them around with us! ...Do you think Prof. Rowan'd give us some if we asked him? You know, you remember what he said, don't you? He said to visit him at his lab if we needed anything. OK, <player>! I'll race you! First one to the professor's lab in Sandgem Town rules!"
Sandgem Town
"Thud!! What the... Oh, it's you, <player>! That old guy... He's not scary so much as he is totally out there! Aww, it doesn't matter, <player>. I'm out of here. See you later!"
Trainers' School, Jubilife City
"Hey <player>! Did you come to study, too? I went ahead and memorized everything that was up on the blackboard. After all, it's the Trainer's job to avoid having their precious Pokémon hurt in battle, right? So, <player>, what brings you here? Huh? You've got something for me?"
  • After delivering the Parcel
"So, what is this...? Score! It's a Town Map! Huh?! Why are there two in here? I like it a lot, but I don't need two. Here, <player>, you take one!"
  • After receiving the Town Map
"Hmm... Well, according to the Town Map, I guess Oreburgh City is where I should be going next. There's a Gym, so it'd be perfect for raising the Pokémon I just caught. Well, I'm on the road to becoming the greatest Trainer of all time! See you around!"
Route 203
"Hey! <player>! Tell me you got a little tougher! Me? Do you even need to ask? Of course I got tougher! Come on! I'll demonstrate it to you!"
  • After his first Pokémon is damaged
"Don't get cocky! This isn't over yet!"
  • When his last Pokémon is at low health
"My Pokémon's getting low on HP... Things could be tight here."
  • Upon defeat
"What just happened? I lost?!"
  • After battle
"Waah! What do you mean I lost?! Well, that's it! That's the last time I'll ever lose! I'm going to be the world's toughest Trainer, and you know it! The first thing to do is take on the Oreburgh City Pokémon Gym! I'm gonna toughen up for that, totally!"
Oreburgh City
  • Outside Oreburgh Gym
"Hunh? Oh, it's you, <player>! You finally got here? You're slow like always. But anyway, the Gym Leader's tough! Like, seriously serious! If the Gym Leader's this tough, I wonder how he compares to my dad... Huh? I just drifted there. Anyway, the Gym Leader's gone off to the coal mine. If you want to take on the Gym Leader, you'd better go off to the mine!"
"I told you, the Gym Leader went down to the Oreburgh Mine. If you want to take the Gym challenge, you have to go down to the mine."
  • Near Oreburgh Gate, after player beats Leader Roark
"Thud!! Whoops! <player>! You got the Gym Badge, huh? Eterna City is the next place with a Gym that gives away Badges, right? So, yeah, I went to Route 207, but you can't go there without a Bicycle. I made my team battle and toughened them up, so it wasn't a waste. So, I'm going back to Jubilife City. Next stop, the Eterna Gym Badge! Ten seconds before I dash! Nine... Bah! Who's got time to count?!"
Eterna City
"Thud!! Hey, <player>! You came to see the Pokémon statue, right? I'll take you there! What the..."
"Oh, hey! When we smacked together, a brilliant flash of inspiration came to me! An easy way to become a great Trainer! Yeah, that! All right. Listen close... Make certain all your attacks hit! Avoid enemy attacks for sure! You do that, you'd never lose! You'd be the invincible Trainer! Anyway, go check out the Pokémon statue. See you around!"
Route 209
  • Before battle
"Ta-daah! Kept me waiting again, <player>! Let's see how much tougher you and I have gotten, right here and now! Hey, you're a Trainer now. You're expected to be ready for a battle. No whining! No waiting! Let's get the show started!"

"Oh, yeah? I'll show you something wicked, too!"
  • When his last Pokémon is at low health
"What the?! We're in trouble?! But there's no giving up on me!"
  • Upon defeat
"What just happened?! You're telling me I lost?!"
  • After battle
"Waaah! It goes to show my surefire winning strategy doesn't work. Say, hey, <player>. Remember what I told you before? Make sure all your attacks hit! Avoid every enemy attack! I thought that was a wicked strategy, but it doesn't work worth beans. I guess I have to grind it out and toughen up the team a bit at a time. Anyway! I'm off for Solaceon Town! See ya, <player>! You'll be shocked by my growth the next time we meet!"
Solaceon Town
"Yahoo! Hey, <player>! I got something cool. I'll show you as a special favor! Huh? What the... What's this about? ...I got some Seals, but I forgot to put them on. Oh, right. It's because I was at the ruins. The ruins here are cool. You have to check it out. I even found a Hidden Machine. It was Defog! Anyway, I'll battle you another time. See ya!"
Pastoria City
"Oh, hey, <player>. You're out of luck, though. The Gym Leader, Crasher Wake, I mean Mr.Wake's gone off to Veilstone. The said he had a practice match with Veilstone's Gym Leader Maylene. Sheesh! I ended up missing him completely!"
  • Before battle
"Whoops! Hehehe! I'm not going to plow into you every time we meet! So how's it going, <player>? Buffing up your Pokémon, eh? I'll test you and your Pokémon out to see how buff and tough you are!"
  • After sending out his last Pokémon
"Yeah, I can tell you raised your Pokémon to be tough!"
  • Final Pokémon at low health
"We're not done yet! Neither me nor my Pokémon have given up!"
  • Upon defeat
"What just happened?! You're telling me I lost?!"
  • After battle
"Heh, yeah, maybe you did get a bit tougher since last time. That even shocked me a bit, so yeah, I got beat 'cause I was careless. Oh, yeah, I joined Mr. Wake as an apprentice! Like, I want my own theme song!"
  • After earning the Fen Badge (in front of Gym)
"Oh, hey! You got the Gym Badge here, huh? What'd I tell you? Mr. Wake--I mean, the master--is pretty awesome, hey?"
"Oh, Master!"
"It doesn't matter. I made you my master! I decided! But forget that! There's trouble brewing! There's a Team Galactic goon in front of the Observatory Gate. He said something about a bomb!"
"Hey! Master! Wait!"
  • At the Croagunk photoboard
  • If talked to from the front
"Does my new outfit look good or what? Croagunk's where it's at."
  • If talked to the side
"Why are you talking to me from there?!"
  • Talk to Wake in front of the Observatory Gate
"Hey! What am I, chopped liver? Don't forget I'm here, too!"
"Hey! <player>! You go after that Galactic goon! I'm staying here like Master said! Gotta keep others from going in! Don't let that Galactic guy get away!"
  • If talked to again
"What's the matter?! Why aren't you gone already?! Go after that Galactic goon!"
Valor Lakefront
"Hey, <player>! Where'd that Galactic goon run off to? Huh? Is this your older sister? No? She isn't? Oh, OK. That explosion in the Great Marsh? It wasn't anything serious. Mr. Wake told me to tell you that. But that Team Galactic... Wow! Are they out of control or what? Next time I see them, I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget! See you around!"
Canalave City
  • Before battle
"Whoops! Hey, <player>! You're going to challenge the Gym Leader up past here, eh? Someone should check to see if you're ready for this challenge! That someone is me! With my brand-new Gym Badge!"
  • After sending out his last Pokémon
"We've gotten out of tighter spots than this plenty of times before!"
  • Final Pokémon at low health
"We're not done yet! Neither me nor my Pokémon have given up!"
  • Upon defeat
"What just happened?! You're telling me I lost?!"
  • After battle
"Yeah, yeah, you're just a bit better than me, as usual. But listen up! Let me tell you who's going to take on the Pokémon League and become the Champion. You guessed right! It's going to be me! Anyway, you should go to Iron Island and toughen up some more. Yeah, train at Iron Island! That's what I did before going to the Gym!"
  • After player earns the Mine Badge
"Hey! That's the Mine Badge! Good going! You're tough enough to consider becoming the Pokémon Champ. Of course, I'm tougher, so it's not going to actually happen. Anyway, <player>, come with me to the library."
  • In front of Canalave Library (if the player doesn't have HM04)
"Hey, you're here! Finally! Oh, but what the... Aww, you haven't gone to Iron Island, have you? You didn't get the HM Strength, did you? Aww, sheesh! I'll wait here for you! Hurry up and go already!"
  • In front of Canalave Library (after obtaining HM04)
"Too slow! Come on! Let's move it!"
"Hey, <player>! Over here! This way! OK, gramps! I brought <player> like I said! Alright, I'll be outta here!"
"...OK... I get it..."
"What are you saying? I didn't get a Pokédex!"
"Uh... Yeah, of course! Gramps, you know how to call it! You can tell I'm the hotness! And, you know what? I was going to catch those legendary Pokémon for you. You know, as a thanks for giving us our Pokémon back on Route 201. ...Even though I forgot completely about it until just now."
"What was that about?! No, wait, I mean, TV! The TV! News! Anything!"
"Gramps! They said it was an explosion?!"
  • Outside Canalave Library, after explosion in Lake Valor
"Gramps! I'm going! I have a bad feeling about this!"
Acuity Lakefront
"Hey, <player>! What, you finally come along now? Slooow! Way too slow! Listen, <player>. See how the rocks are all lumpy here? You can't climb those rocks until you get the Snowpoint Gym Badge. Anyway, I'm off. Team Galactic! I'm coming for you!"
Lake Acuity
"! You're not getting away with this, Team Galactic!"
"... ... Yeah, that's right! I couldn't do anything against Team Galactic! That Pokémon called Uxie... It was suffering... I'm going to get tougher... It's not about winning or losing... That's not good enough... I have to be stronger... It's not enough to just want to be the most powerful Trainer ever... It takes honest effort... And a determined heart."

  • After earning the Beacon Badge
"Hey! <player>! What the... You went and got all eight Gym Badges of Sinnoh! Aww, you... That's wicked! I envy you! But don't think you've won! Because I'm going to be the toughest Trainer ever! You watch me! Before I was dreaming. I just wanted to be like my dad. Now, things are different. I thought about what being a Trainer involves. I thought about what Pokémon are. We're going to get tougher one step at a time! I'm not going to challenge you to a battle now. I hate to say it, but I know you're tougher than me. But not a whole lot tougher. Just a little. Our difference is a about a yard? Nah, not even an inch. ...What I'm trying to say is that I will catch up to you in no time. If you don't hurry to the Pokémon League, I'll leave you in my wake!"

"What just went down?! My team still needs raising?!"

Fight Area
"Oh, hey, <player>! What took you so long? I'm fining you $100 million! Actually, never mind the fine. Come with me, will ya? <player>, I tried to get into the Battle Frontier, which happens to be right here. Then these guys came along and got in my face about it. Like, they're saying they want to test me if I'm good enough and all that. Like, as if I need to prove anything. So, let's team up. Like we did at the Spear Pillar. Let's show those guys how good we are!"
No: "Hey, seriously, can I say something? What's all that about? Toss me a bone here! Come on, I'm stuck here. I need your help!"
  • If talked to again ("No" was selected)
"Come on, let's show them how tough we really are!"
Yes: :"Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! So there's an Elite Four and a Gym Leader. We can whoop 'em!"
  • After beating Flint and Volkner
"See? I got a lot tougher, yeah? OK, I'm off to the Fronti..."
"What the... ... Daddy?!"
"My dad is cool, huh? I mean, when it gets right down to it. You think so too, right? He's a Fronter Brain, after all. He's the Tower Tycoon! I want to be cool like my dad! <player>, that's the one reason I decided to become a Trainer! Ooh, what am I going to do? Should I make a challenge now? Or do I train some more? OK! I've decided! I'm going to get tougher! By a lot! I finally made it here! There's no need for haste now."
Player's Villa

"Too slooooow! You keep me waiting all the time! I'm fining you... $1 billion!"
"So, anyway, how are things at the Battle Frontier? Me? You know I'm on top of it. I lose at the Tower sometimes, but..."
"Oh, yeah, the other day at the Battle Tower... Aww, never mind! I'm not telling you I battled my daddy!"
"This is a cool place you have here. I've kind of got to like it, so I'll drop in for no reason at all from now on!"
"You know, I've been thinking lately... If we didn't meet Prof. Rowan then, what would we be doing now?"
Route 227
"That's my master! Those are words of wisdom!"
"Aww, master, don't be that way! You've got to get me into that club in the Survival Area!"
"You know, I think I got a little tougher again. That's why I'm off to the Battle Frontier so I can make some challenges! Master! Wait for me!"
Survival Area
  • If talked to (before entering the Battleground)
"Hey, <player>! How are you doing? Me? You even need to ask? Piling up the wins at the Battle Tower! Huh? My longest winning streak? What, you're going to grill me now?"
  • After entering the Battleground for the first time
"Oh, it's you, <player>. Did you battle with everyone? Don't you think it's cool, though? When people talk about Pokémon, they all start smiling!"
"...! Oh, it's you, <player>. You know the best Trainers must really love Pokémon from their heart. I'm talking about people like the Gym Leaders, of course. People like the Tower Tycoon and the other Frontier Brains, too. You can tell they love Pokémon when you're battling them. But I'm not conceding anything to them, or to you! Because I'm still going to be the greatest Trainer ever!"
"Hey, <player>! How are you doing? Me? You even need to ask? Piling up the wins at the Battle Tower! Huh? My longest winning streak? What, you're going to grill me now?"
  • Weekend battle
  • Before battle
"Hey, <player>! You aren't the only one who's getting tougher! I'll prove it to you! Let's go!"

"Oh, yeah? When the going gets tough, my Pokémon get tougher!"
  • When defeated
"What just went down?! You're telling me I lost again?!"
  • After being defeated
"...! It's all right, though. Keep getting tougher, <player>. The more you do, the tougher my Pokémon and I get, too. There's no end to Pokémon. That's what I'm saying, <player>!"

  • Being defeated
"Wha—? This is a joke, right? This can't be happening!"
  • After being defeated
"Darn it! I seriously still can't win?! I always seem to lose right when it counts! It's bad enough letting down my dad, let alone the Tower Tycoon... Darn it!!!"

"Oh, so they came after you, too, huh? Man, what is their problem?!"
"Oh yeah! By the way, what are you guys doing here? Did you come to take down Team Break?"
"For the PML?! I really want to, but Team Break are still out there..."

Maybe they're collecting stones.: "Pssh! Who cares about collecting dumb rocks? They're probably doing some kinda super-secret training together!"
"Come on! Let's go follow 'em! If they ARE doing a secret training session, we can see if they'll let us join in, too!"

  • What's the Secret?
"Wha—?! How are those two not tired after all this hiking and battling?!"
"H-how... We just hiked up the same trail and fought the same battles...but they look like they just took a nice walk in the park!"
"What makes them so different from us? Maybe they're born with it..."
Maybe it's the pretty scenery.: "Hmm... It IS kinda nice up here, but I think this is something else."
"What if it has something to do with the stones?"
Maybe it's the stones.: "Whoa! Yeah! You're so smart! It's gotta have something to do with the stones!"
"If that's the case, we should go collect some stones, too!"
I'll take the stone on the right.: "Nice! The stone you picked is kinda cute, huh? It's all smooth and round."
I'll take the stone on the left.: "Nice! The stone you picked looks kinda tough, huh? It's all sharp and pointy."
"Check out this huge monster stone I picked up!"
"Hmm... It's actually kinda normal looking, huh? On second thought, it's probably not very rare..."

"I'm right, aren't I? The secret to your strength has to do with your stones, right?"

"And at the time, I was so excited, I said I'd gotten stronger than him!"

"But I just stood there and watched as he overwhelmed our opponents."
"It was like I couldn't keep up."

"I'm afraid of disappointing my dad, so I can't face him until I've gotten stronger."
"Hehe! I knew you'd understand, Brendan!"
"R-really? Dad can be pretty strict sometimes..."
"Actually—no!"
"I won't face my dad until I'M satisfied with how strong I am!"
  • When You Shine
"Y-you're a Frontier Brain, like my dad? What's a Frontier Brain doing here?!"
"Well...compared to my dad, I'm nothing yet."
"Well..."
"Hmm, his son..."
"Yeah, of course I know him well!"
"My dad treats all Trainers equally, regardless of their strength!"
"Argenta..."
Palmer must be waiting for you!: "Hehe, you may be right."
I bet you'll do fine!: "Hehe! Thanks, <player>!"
"Yeah..."
"This is the only time I can show him who I am right now!"
"I still lack experience, but..."
"I want to show my dad the results of my training!"
"OK! I've decided!"
"I gonna show my dad everything I've got! Thanks, everyone!"
  • The Strongest Brain's Back
"So that's why!"
"Sorry for avoiding you, Dad!"
"I had an idea! I want you to see me as I am now!"
"So, I'll show you what I couldn't do during our team battle before!"
"<player>! Brendan! You ready?!"
"Let's show Dad our strength!"
"Here I come, Dad!"
"I'll show you everything I've got!"
Story Event - Together in an Unknown Land
  • As Rivals...
"You're really growing as a sync pair too!"
"I see... It must be tough, being sent to different worlds over and over again."
"All right! I'm gonna go even harder on you!"
  • The Next Daybreak
"Fight hard, everyone! Ahh, I wanna battle too!"
Solo Event - Challenge from Passionate Spirits

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Barry
  • Off-screen, as "???"
"*thud* What was that about?!"
  • After appearing, as Barry
"Oh, <player>! Don't jump out at people like that!"
"You bumped into me, so I'm fining you a million!"
OK.: "Really?! Hey, I'm serious about this!"
I'm not paying.: "What's that all about?! You can't just refuse like that!"
"You're the one who bumped into me, so of course you have to pay a fine...right?"
"You know, I kind of get the feeling that maybe it was I who bumped into you. Hmmm..."
"I guess it can't be helped! No fine for you this time! I mean, that's how it always ends up, anyway."
"I'm so disappointed. I finally had a chance to get you to pay me a fine."
"I'll never reach my goal at this rate."
What goal?: "Hehehe! Don't act too shocked when I tell you!"
There's a purpose to your fines?: "Hehehe! Don't sound too surprised!"
"My goal is to use the fines I collect to build my own Battle Tower!"
"The Battle Tower is a place to have Pokémon battles. My daddy—"
"I mean, my DAD faces off against challengers who climb the Battle Tower."
"I've made many attempts myself, but it always ended in defeat for me."
"But someday, I'll make my dad take on the Battle Tower that I build!"
"And I will definitely beat him! That's one of my dreams!"
You dream big!: "Right? You've gotta dream big if you wanna have fun!"
"That's not my only dream, though."
You have other dreams?: "Yup, and this next one's a doozy of a dream!"
"Listen close."
"My master, Mr. Wake—pro wrestler Crasher Wake—doesn't acknowledge my skills at all!"
"I've devised a special plan just for him!"
"Mr. Wake's Floatzel and my Piplup are both Pokémon that use Water-type moves."
"I'm going to make my Piplup learn more awesome moves than his Floatzel to surprise him!"
Good idea!/That sounds tough!: "It's good to have dreams, but when you have too many, you might not be able to make any of them come true."
"Which one do you think I should go for first?"
"You have to decide right now! Ready? Three, two, one..."
"Oh, never mind! This is exactly the kind of thing that I need to take the time to think about for myself."
"Hehehe! I told you my dreams."
"So you have to tell me yours!"
"If you don't tell, I'm fining you!"
Sync Pair Story - Piplup's Evolution
  • Before battle
"Excuse me, young lady! Come battle my Piplup!"
"Hehe! All right! My Piplup is raring to go! Time for a Pokémon battle!"

"What's that all about?! If you're going to evolve, at least say something!"
Pokémon Center
  • Random conversation
"My dad is Palmer, the Battle Frontier's Tower Tycoon! He's so awesomely cool!"
"I want to be a cool, tough Trainer like my dad."
"Then I'll be able to have Pokémon battles with lots of other tough Trainers!"
"That's why there's no time to lose! I've gotta get to work!"
  • If spoken to again
"You'll see! I'm gonna be a cool Trainer just like my dad!"
"That's why I'm making sure not to slack off on my training or whatever."
  • Random conversation*
"Piplup really has a lot of pride."
"When I was just starting out as a Trainer, he didn't listen to me at all!"
"But now my relationship with Piplup is totally different!"
"Piplup is my reliable ace in the hole now! Makes me wanna puff out my chest with pride!"
  • If spoken to again
"When Piplup started listening to what I said..."
"I was so happy that he had finally accepted me as a Trainer!"
"That's why I decided to get even tougher—for Piplup!"
  • Random conversation
"Hey, I've been on an adventure with Staraptor!"
"When I got on his back, he took off and started flying around super fast! I was holding on for dear life!"
"But the scenery you can see when you're flying through the air is incredibly beautiful!"
"Don't you wanna try to ride him once? If you get scared and cry, I'll fine you!"
  • If spoken to again
"Staraptor is so cool! You can fly anywhere with him straightaway thanks to his Fly move!"
"But I'm trying to walk more and not fly everywhere. Physical health is the foundation of any tough Trainer!"
"Don't get the wrong idea! It's not because I'm scared or anything!"
  • Random conversation
"I smack right into people a lot when I run. Like...thud!"
"So I'm trying to think up a way of running where I won't bump into people so much, but it's pretty hard!"
"I mean, I guess I could just walk, but it's so slow!"
"I run because I wanna hurry up and get to where I'm going!"
  • If spoken to again
"I wanna get tougher and tougher. There are still so many things I wanna do!"
"That's why I've got no time to sit around taking it easy!"
"But between you and me, sometimes going around the long way can turn out to be a shortcut."
  • Random conversation
"Hey, <player>, is there anyone you look up to?"
"Of course I have someone I look up to—my dad, the Frontier Brain Tower Tycoon!"
"The Tower Tycoon is the toughest Trainer at a facility called the Battle Tower, you know."
"If you don't win a ton of Pokémon battles, you can't even battle him!"
"I want to be cool like my dad! That's the reason I decided to become a Trainer!"
  • If spoken to again
"Of course I want to beat my dad in a Pokémon battle."
"Winning alone won't make me into a cool Trainer like my dad, though."
"Hmm, what should I do? I guess I've still got a long way to go, huh?"
"I will do it, though! Try to keep up, <player>!"
  • Random conversation
"I've got a friend from Twinleaf Town just like me who's amazingly tough in Pokémon battles!"
"Battling with you makes me think of that kid."
"It makes me wanna win even more!"
"Let's go together someday. Then we can have a battle with my old friend!"
  • If spoken to again
"When you've got a really tough Trainer by your side, it gives you confidence!"
"You can't have a Pokémon battle by yourself, so there's no point in getting tougher if you're all alone."
"When you have an opponent who wants to get tougher and battle against you, it makes you so amazingly happy!"
  • Random conversation
"Pokémon battles are hard. When you get your directions wrong, you can lose just like that!"
"When Pokémon are tough, you can be sure they have a Trainer they can count on."
"I'm doing my best to keep my precious Pokémon from getting hurt in battle."
"I think it's because I've been trying so hard that my Pokémon grew to like me."
  • If spoken to again
"There are some things Pokémon can't do and some things Trainers can't do."
"If each of them focuses on getting better at the things they can do, they make the toughest team!"

  • Random conversation (Special Costume)
"You know how heroes always show up juuust in the nick of time?"
"Well, in a hero show, I've gotta wait till the last possible second before I jump into the action..."
"But I can't tell you how many times I've almost done it too early!"
"I'm just super bad at staying still and waiting!"
  • Random conversation (Special Costume)
"Hey, <player>, do you know what it takes to be a hero? 'Cause just being strong won't cut it!"
"Oh, I'm not gonna just tell you the answer! There's no point if you don't figure it out for yourself!"
"But hey, if you DO know what's most important..."
"Then let's protect the world together! ...Or, y'know, something like that! Heh heh."
