Sync Pair Story - A Day with Helena
"Because Pasio is an artificial island that was built so recently, it doesn't have much history yet..."
"Due to the lack of haunted sites here, rumors involving the supernatural usually end up amounting to nothing."
"On this tour, we will be visiting the various sites that have spawned these false supernatural rumors. Welcome to the fake supernatural tour..."
That's a shame...: "I still have hope, though. If I continue to track down these rumors, eventually one will turn out to be true..."
I wish they were true.: "Hehehe... Looks like you've begun to appreciate the allure of the supernatural."
"Let's get started, shall we? Our first supernatural encounter is..."
"The sighting of a disembodied human soul!"
"At least, that's what someone thought they saw. Turns out it was just a security guard's flashlight."
"The guard immediately spoke up, and that was the end of the rumor..."
"... ... ..."
"*sigh* It's useless. Perhaps there aren't any supernatural forces left in this world."
  • Off-screen, as "???"
"M-my apologies!"
  • After appearing, as Helena
"*pant pant* So sorry. I overslept on the day I was supposed to lead the tour..."
"What's wrong? Why are you staring over there?"
"Huh? We were just speaking to each other?"
"That's not possible. I just got here..."
"... ... ..."
"No, really?"
"E-eeek!"
"<player>, you're saying you were on a fake supernatural tour led by a fake version of me?"
"Th-that's amazing..."
"If real supernatural events are occurring around me, that means..."
"I must have a connection to the supernatural world!"
"Ehehehe... Perhaps Haunter is excited, too..."
"I hear that the city is becoming more developed–and that information can now be easily shared over social media."
"As clear and accurate information becomes more accessible, vague rumors about the supernatural are being taken less seriously."
"Looks like Haunter is upset about this, too..."
"But it seems Pasio may have some mysteries of its own after all..."
"Perhaps Haunter will feel more at home now."
"The supernatural is mysterious and scary. That's exactly why it piques my curiosity."
"People spread rumors, and ambiguous rumors become distorted as they spread."
"In the end, they remain in this world as tales of the supernatural!"
"And among those tales remain a handful of true encounters... Just like what we saw today."
"At least that's what I like to believe. Eeeheeheheee!"
Pokémon Center
  • Random conversation
"Because Pasio is an artificial island, it seems there haven't been any hauntings spotted here yet..."
"But did you know? Wherever people gather, rumors appear."
"*chuckle* I'm looking forward to what Pasio's future holds..."
  • Random conversation
"Do you believe in the supernatural, <player>?"
"It's OK if you don't...but it would make me so very happy if you were a true believer..."
"I just wanted to...share my interests with you. That's all."
  • Random conversation
"You give off the aura of a main character... If you were in a story, you'd be the protagonist."
"Usually, I don't get along well with bright and shiny personalities like yours. But you're different..."
  • If spoken to again
"I can see your aura... It's such a strong...gentle...beautiful color..."
"But for those who face you in battle, such an unlucky color."
  • Special log-in conversation (generic)
"We were destined to meet here today, <player>..."
"The timing of our next meeting has been preordained as well… Eehehehee!"
  • Special log-in conversation (morning)

Trivia

  • Helena may be based on Hex Maniac Anina from Pokémon X and Y:
    • Both Helena and Anina own a Haunter.
    • Helena's dialogue after being recruited is similar to what Anina says before battle.
    • Helena's dialogue upon recalling her fainted Pokémon is similar to what Anina says upon being defeated.
  • Helena's morning log-in dialogue is similar to what Hex Maniac Josette says after battle.

Origin

Helena's design is based on the Hex Maniac Trainer class from Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. This Trainer class specializes in Ghost-type Pokémon. Haunter's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.
