"Well done! Looks like you've caught <number of caught Pokémon> species! That means you are now worthy of challenging my Gym! ..."

Rematch
  • Before battle (first rematch)

You never know. We haven't even battled yet.: "We can already see the results, for the battle has already started!"
"We are modern ninjas, living in the shadows. We have mastered the art of espionage. We already know everything about you!"
"Some would say that we rely too much on underhanded tactics..."
"But that is not the truth. A true ninja masters many strategic techniques!"
"Allow us to show you that there are battles you cannot overcome with strength alone!"
  • Ninja Kin: Part 2
"Fwahahaha! A splendid display! We concede!"
"You stuck to your earnest and straightforward tactics, and we stuck to our ninja tactics. We may have lost, but we have no regrets!"
"Hm? What is wrong, Daughter?"
"... ... ..."
"Listen to me! Right now, we are not just father and daughter, but equals on the same team."
"This defeat is shared. Do not blame only yourself."
"Janine, I..."
"... ... ..."
"I understand. Do what you must! Be diligent in your training, Daughter."
"Take care of yourself, Janine."
"My apologies. I am sorry you had to witness our familial squabbles."
Shouldn't you go after her?: "I would love to. But even if I did, I know she'd send me away."
"Moreover, she is an accomplished ninja herself. I must respect her wishes."
She's an incredible person.: "Perhaps. But as a parent, I sometimes wish she would depend on me more."
"But then again, I also know that it is my duty as a parent to respect her decisions."
"To see my daughter act with such resolve... I must continue to find my own strength as well."
"<player>, forgive my sudden request, but...may I join your team?"
Yeah! Let's get stronger together!: "Indeed! I cannot allow myself to be weaker than Janine when she returns!"
It'd be great with you on the team!: "Fwahaha! Leave anything poison related to me!"
"You may have beaten me, but don't forget that I am a member of the Indigo Elite Four."
"I wil definitely be of use to your team."
"As long as we can watch each other's back and try to cover each other's weaknesses, we can surely surpass our current limits!"

"What business do you have with us?"
"Our clothes are..."
"Fwahahaha! I'd expect nothing less from a designer!"
  • To Be a Pokémon
"Hmm. It seems Valerie's reputation precedes her."
"I see... I was thinking of getting an outfit for my daughter, but...if they cost that much..."
"I...I see!"
"Anything is fine, from being shown around town to having a Pokémon battle. Anything you want."
"You...want to be a...Pokémon?"
"Hmm. So you weren't speaking metaphorically. I think you might've heard some bad information."
"...I'm sorry, Valerie, but you can't become a Pokémon by using a sync stone."
  • A Fellow Fashionista?
"Having a dream is fine, but that's no reason to go forcing people to do things."
"I'll show you to where the map leads. Please follow closely."
  • Leaf's Idea
"It certainly seems like that would be the case..."
"Hm?"
  • The Stage Awaits

  • The Road to Victory: Part 2
  • If spoken to
"Hmm... It appears everyone is a bit on edge because of the finals."
You're not nervous at all?: "Hahaha! Well, I may not look it, but I do happen to be a member of the Elite Four, so I'm used to the pressure that comes with battles like this."
"Janine?! I thought you were out on a journey to train yourself!"
"Janine..."
"Well... I suppose I may still have a lot to learn after all."

"She always brought me my box lunch when I was busy."

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Koga

"You will never find me if you depend only on your eyes!"
"Sharpen your senses! Find me with more than just your vision!"
Maybe there?: "Well, well! Good senses you have there!"
Behind me!: "Impressive! You found me perfectly!"
  • After appearing
"To think that you could see past my ninja techniques so well!"
"But! Not good enough! Wouldn't you say, partner?"
"I'm just saying that you let down your guard! You became careless just because you found me!"
"What you see is not everything there is. Being able to see what is not visible is most crucial!"
"Read what your opponent is thinking and decipher their strategies to claim the flow of battle as your own!"
"And you will need an unwavering willpower in order to do this!"
"My dojo has been training for 400 years how to be calm at all times!"
"The reason I called you out here today was to teach you the secrets of being a ninja."
"... ... ..."
"... ... ..."
"You really don't emote much, do you?"
"But I'm sure you're surprised nonetheless, right?"
Not really.: "Well, I see that you have your emotions under control. That is good."
You just blew my mind!: "I knew it! You worried me a little bit!"
"But prepare yourself. We have only just begun."
"I would recommend you don't take Crobat's techniques or speed lightly!"
"Fwahaha! I see Crobat's Double Team is causing you trouble!"
"You must be quite surprised! I see it in your face!"
"We're only able to pull off combination moves like this because of how in sync we are."
"We can do this without any planning—with only shared experience and eye contact!"
"You should understand how difficult synchronicity like that can be. But if you can achieve it, it will prove a great power for you and your Pokémon."
We can do it!/Do you think we can do it, too?: "Of course! I know you can!"
"But all this is why you must never let your guard down, especially since you and your Pokémon have such a strong bond."
"You cannot cut corners at the PML. Or rather, there are not many Trainers here that you can win against by cutting corners."
"I'm looking forward to seeing if your bond can overcome ours!"
Pokémon Center
  • Random conversation
"I was originally a Gym Leader, and I made an invisible labyrinth in my Gym."
"Of course, it was to weed out weak Trainers!"
"But my daughter got lost in there once and created quite a scene."

"No matter how old she may become, she is still my child. That story will always bring a smile to my face."

"Would you not say that he is a ninja's perfect partner?"
"Of course, if I am not careful, he tries to suck my blood!"
  • If spoken to again

"Perhaps trying to suck my blood is his way of showing me affection."
  • Random conversation
"If you're going to be battling all sorts of pairs, make sure you choose the type of moves that your opponents are weak against."
"Fwahaha! As long as you can find your opponent's weakness, you'll have an edge in any Pokémon battle!"

"you will be able to identify both opportunities and crises!"
  • If spoken to again

"Your desire to improve is splendid! I truly want you as an apprentice!"
"I enjoy watching your remarkable growth!"
  • If spoken to again
"Even one that has lived on a single track as a ninja and a Pokémon Trainer has something to learn from your Pokémon handling."
"I wonder, if I introduced you to my training and teachings, would you become even stronger?"
"Fwahaha! No, I will not force you. But if you are ever interested, come talk to me!"
  • Random conversation
"It is sobering to see how quickly young Trainers become stronger."
"Whether through my daughter, Janine, or you..."
"it is very possible I'll have the privilege to see one of my students grow to new heights and leave splendid results!"
"I would like you to be my daughter's rival. The two of you would be perfect for honing each other's skills!"
  • If spoken to again
"Janine claims that her skill in both Pokémon battles and ninja arts are not adequate."
"If she had somebody to bounce off, I'm sure she would be able to grow, too."
"Not to mention, I am certain that you could learn something from her as well."
"I look forward to the growth the two of you will display!"
