Mission 5 - "A Request from Mai"

Obsidian Fieldlands (Horseshoe Plains)

Before battle

"My, my... A new face in the village? Not that it matters to me if you're new. If you're here, I assume you're prepared to be of help."

"I am one of the wardens of the Diamond Clan. You may call me Mai."

"I suppose you might not even know what a warden is, if you're new to Hisui... But such talk can wait. Right now, I'd rather we get straight to the point. I have a problem that I need help solving. So the more important question is this..."

"Do you feel confident that you can lead your Pokémon in battle?"

Not really...: "How uninspiring... Prepare yourself better, then rejoin us."

I do: "That's good to hear. That Security Corps of yours certainly wasn't up to the task."

"This here is my partner, Munchlax. We were raised together like siblings. He battles at my side by choice, without needing any silly little balls like you use. Watch and learn."

After battle

"You really aren't one of the usual Galaxy buffoons if you could defeat my partner..."

"Well fought, Munchlax."

"I'll take care of the Pokémon that battled for us."

"And I'll let you have these. You people make all kinds of things with your crafting, don't you? These should prove to be useful materials."

"You and your Pokémon fought well together! You practically acted as one with it/them. Rather like the legendary hero of old... The one we tell stories of to our children."

"I think you're indeed the one for the job. You see, I need someone to deal with an alpha Pokémon causing trouble upon Deertrack Heights."

"It is a large, fearsome foe—like any alpha—but you'll come, won't you? To Deertrack Heights?"

"My, my, that is some curious sort of map. Is that one of those Galaxy Team inventions I keep hearing about?"

"It certainly does seem to show the way to Deertrack Heights, up ahead of us."

"It seems you're quite the asset to the Survey Corps, new one."

"Though... Before we continue, I must ask. Do you already know about almighty Sinnoh?"

Of course!: "My, my. How about that. Though I'm not certain you've been told the true story. The true story is this..."

Almighty what, now?: "I suppose that's to be expected. Allow me to sketch out the basics..."

"Almighty Sinnoh steers all time. It's said to have created the very universe using its power over time's flow, and this land of Hisui was born in the process. It's by the grace of almighty Sinnoh that Pokémon can live and thrive here."

"We of the Diamond Clan are descendants of a people who crossed the sea and settled here in the Hisui region to venerate almighty Sinnoh."

"However, it stole away from the world long ago, hiding itself from our sight... Almighty Sinnoh has only rarely been seen by any human, if the old tales are to be trusted."

"But there are still Pokémon here today in Hisui with a connection to almighty Sinnoh. And it is the duty of wardens like myself to attend to their needs."

"The Pokémon that graces Deertrack Heights is one of those honored few. It is directly descended from a Pokémon that was blessed with almighty Sinnoh's protection."

"Follow me, and you may understand."

Obsidian Fieldlands (Deertrack Heights): "Oh? So even your professor decided to join us?"; "I suppose that is your business... Fine—as long as you stay out of the way."; "This is Deertrack Heights... This is where I've long come to pay tribute to a special Pokémon—a Pokémon descended from one of those ancients blessed by almighty Sinnoh."; "That's not it. That's only a troublemaker, here to disturb the peace with its racket."; "And that's what you're here for, <player>: to drive that interloper from this place. I'll ensure your Pokémon are ready for the battle."; "Exactly. They're not only big, though. They are strong and may know moves that others of their kind do not. They're naught to be trifled with, let me tell you. Nevertheless..."; "I believe you are stronger still than this alpha. So go show it that, beyond any mistaking!"

After the player defeats/catches the alpha Kricketune

"You really are an impressive one, aren't you? Seeing someone best an alpha like that... It truly reminds me of the legendary hero of old!"

"We'd best make sure your Pokémon is/are taken care of after facing off against such a foe."

"It's the great Wyrdeer!"

"He looks upon you with kindness, <player>..."

"I'd say the great Wyrdeer has taken a liking to you. That is fortunate. He is an esteemed Pokémon that can dash across the expanses of Hisui while bearing a human on his back—a human he deems worthy, at least. He is a blessing to us all."

"The Hisui region is a land created by almighty Sinnoh for the sake of its Pokémon. As long as your goal is to coexist and thrive together with the Pokémon, then I imagine you should also be allowed to use this land."

"The great Wyrdeer has taken a liking to <player> as well. This is a good sign."

"You have my thanks for what you did today. Our clan leader will hear of how you aided us. I'll come to show my appreciation with a proper reward as soon as I can."

Mission 7 - "The Frenzy of the Lord of the Woods"

Galaxy Hall (Cyllene's office): "<player>! We need to speak with you."; "But there aren't many capable of standing up to such powerful Pokémon. You're the best hope we've got."; "You'll find Kleavor at Grandtree Arena. That's in the very heart of the Heartwood. His warden is a boy named Lian."; "Lian is a brilliant child but also a bit... Well. Sometimes brilliance can be blinding, you know. He'll tell you all about his beloved Kleavor— whether you wish him to or not."

Jubilife Village (Front gate): "My, my, that Galaxy Hall is one fine building, even from the outside... The Galaxy Team's certainly got themselves a grand headquarters—I'll give them that."; "Oh! Yes, I came because I had some news that I thought you might be interested in."; "Better you actually see what's going on, though. Let's head to... What did you end up calling it? The Heights Camp?"

Obsidian Fieldlands (Heights Camp): "I trust you appreciate it."; "See if you can play that melody."; "Now, use that Celestica Flute wisely and gallop across the land with the great Wyrdeer! You've got a frenzied Pokémon to quell at Grandtree Arena, haven't you?"

Mission 13 - "Disaster Looming"

Obsidian Fieldlands (Worn Bridge)

"My, my... What a frightful sky."

"Such a disturbing sight would be enough to put anyone ill at ease."

"You don't know what brought this about, do you?"

Regardless of choice: "I suppose it was too much to expect that you could already have an answer to all this."

"I heard from our leader what happened. You can't return to that village of yours, can you?"

"But I'm afraid the Diamond Clan cannot be the ones to save you."

"The Diamond Clan could end up at war with the Galaxy Team if things went badly. I think you would regret that as much as anyone."

"The great Wyrdeer took a liking to you. I want to offer you my support. But... Forgive me. I cannot help you in this."

"Do not abandon hope. Time solves all things. And besides, you seem to have a talent for making your own way in the world. I have no doubt you'll continue to find a path to walk."

Request 95 - "A New Anomaly"

Obsidian Fieldlands (Heights Camp)

After completing the main story

"So we meet here again. I've been hearing plenty about your impressive exploits. But of course I've always known you would impress us, ever since you dealt with that alpha Kricketune for me."

"I've had my hands full as well. I've no idea why, but Munchlax keeps trying to runoff in different directions..."

"Munchlax! Where are you off to now?"

"I'm not sure what he's so focused on, but he just up and disappears without warning... Keeping track of him has been quite the task."

"What was that just now? It almost seemed to be responding to Munchlax."

"Hmm. It's pointing to Ramanas Island."

"My, my, isn't this exciting..."

"I wonder if we're about to see another strange phenomenon sweep across Hisui..."

"Or perhaps I'm reading too much into things."

"Could I ask you to visit Ramanas Island to try to shed some light on this new mystery?"

If talked to again before investigating Ramanas Island

"Your map seems to be pointing you toward Ramanas Island. Would you investigate for me?"

If talked to again after investigating Ramanas Island

'"Done with your investigation? Please, tell me what you found."

Regardless of choice: "That hardly tells me anything. What kind of Pokémon did you see, then?"

Regardless of choice: "The spiteful fox, Zorua? Well, you came across a rare Pokémon. I've seen them in the icelands before, but not here."

"So was that it, Munchlax? You were curious about Zorua?"

"Well this is unexpected. It seems there are two Munchlax now. But naturally I would never fail to recognize my own Munchlax."

"It's you, right? Not the Munchlax next to me—the other one!"

"...So it was Zorua. How odd for it to appear in the fieldlands."

"I only hope that this isn't an omen of something unpleasant yet to come."

"As a precaution, it might be best for you to report this to your captain."

Request 96 - "Massive Mass Outbreak in the Fieldlands"

Galaxy Hall (Cyllene's office): "<player>! Things are growing worse!"; "After we parted, Munchlax reacted to several different locations—and there was a mass outbreak at each of them!"; "It sounds like I can count on you to keep investigating?"; "Well then, I'll be waiting for you by the front gate!"

Jubilife Village (Front gate)

"I suppose I should tell you exactly what I witnessed first. Munchlax suddenly took off running into a rainstorm. I tried to stop him lest he get wet, but then I saw those mass outbreaks appearing all over."

"Perhaps it was the massive mass outbreak that Munchlax was so curious about..."

"If that's the case, Munchlax might be able to help us investigate this phenomenon. I'll also work with you, as I'm concerned about Munchlax."

"We can begin our investigation as soon as you're prepared. Are you ready to go now?"

Yes: "Excellent! Off to the Heights Camp with us!"

No: "Then I'll be waiting right here. Come speak with me when you're ready."

Obsidian Fieldlands (Heights Camp)

"We haven't seen anything out of the ordinary yet, nor has Munchlax reacted to anything..."

"Shall we just wait for a while to see whether something happens?"

"It's raining...and it looks like it's going to get worse."

"Are you worried about the rainstorm, Munchlax?"

"We still don't know what's causing these mysterious massive mass outbreaks..."

Regardless of choice: "Perhaps that fancy map of yours can show us something."

"It seems you have some idea where to look for these outbreaks now. Why not check out a few? Seeing at least three ought to give us some idea of what is going on."

Obsidian Fieldlands (Fieldlands or Heights Camp)

If talked to before investigating three massive mass outbreaks

""

If talked to after investigating three massive mass outbreaks

"Thank you for your investigation of the Obsidian Fieldlands!"

"Did you learn anything about these massive mass outbreaks?"

Regardless of choice: "What could that mean? Do Pokémon gather when there's especially heavy rain?"

"I wonder whether Munchlax was reacting to the rainstorm, or to the massive mass outbreak itself. We'll just have to investigate further. But how best to do so... We've had a good look around the Obsidian Fieldlands, but it's only raised more questions..."

"Oh, Mistress Calaba! Well, you see..."

"Of course! The hairdresser's!"

Regardless of choice: "If anyone there has seen one of these massive mass outbreaks, they might be willing to share the details with us."

If talked to again after Calaba appears

"Perhaps we should head to Arezu's shop as well."

Request 97 - "Massive Mass Outbreak in the Mirelands"

Jubilife Village (Floaro Main Street): "Oh, <player>! Mistress Calaba's waiting for you! C'mon in!"

Jubilife Village (Hairdresser): "It seems to me you're still biting your tongue, Arezu. Have you heard anything else?"; "Alphas grouping together...If this is part of a massive mass outbreak, it sounds dangerous."; "You're right! It seems our next step is to investigate the Crimson Mirelands."

Jubilife Village (Floaro Main Street)

"Are you ready to head to the Crimson Mirelands with me?"

Yes: "Excellent. Then let's be off to the Mirelands Camp for some massive mass outbreak research."

No: "I'll await you at the front gate. Come join me when you're ready to set out."

Crimson Mirelands (Mirelands Camp): "It seems a massive mass outbreak has sprung up here in the Crimson Mirelands, too. Let's try to determine if this phenomenon occurs here as it does in the Obsidian Fieldlands."; "What do you want?"; "Not bad, Melli!"; "He was very shy and withdrawn as a child, until one day when he announced he was going to work hard to help Adaman. I was happy to see him grow more optimistic, but I fear he may have taken that to...extremes."; "But Aguav Berries... Where could he have found them?"; "Munchlax! Did you just eat some of the Aguav Berries?!"; "What's this? It looks like you fancy map is responding to Munchlax again."; "Hm. Now the map shows not only outbreak locations, but the Pokémon there as well."; "What does this mean, Munchlax?"; "So if we keep feeding Munchlax Aguav Berries, we'll be able to learn more about these outbreaks?"; "Munchlax... What exactly is it you're trying to get us to understand?"; "Whatever this all means, please investigate three massive mass outbreak locations in the Crimson Mirelands, so we can compare these outbreaks to those we found in the Obsidian Fieldlands."

Crimson Mirelands (Mirelands or Bogbound Camp)

If talked to before investigating three massive mass outbreaks

""

If talked to after investigating three massive mass outbreaks

"Irida is here to help us."

"What happens twice will happen thrice—or so they say. Massive mass outbreaks seem likely to occur in the Cobalt Coastlands and other areas as well, so I've been discussing the issue with Irida."

"Why don't we demonstrate to her what has been keeping us so busy? We can turn our investigation to the Cobalt Coastlands next."

"Ah, yes, Munchlax. I know what's been keeping you busy is eating. Don't worry—you'll get your Berries."

"But I still wonder... What lies behind Munchlax's strange reaction to eating Aguav Berries?"

"How does he know which Pokémon are gathering where during a massive mass outbreak?"

Regardless of choice: "Perhaps... Hopefully our investigations will shed some light on this mystery."

"I knew the leader of the Pearl Clan could help us!"

"We'd seen each other around before, but after talking more at the Harmony Festival, we found we agreed on a lot of things."

"And we decided we'd help each other out, despite being from different clans."

"What are your thoughts on these massive mass outbreaks, Irida?"

"I'll head to Jubilife Village once I wrap up a few things here. We can meet at the front gates when it's time to set out on our next investigation."

Request 98 - "Massive Mass Outbreak in the Coastlands"

Jubilife Village (Front gate)

"The next step of our investigation is to look for massive mass outbreaks in the Cobalt Coastlands! Thanks as always for all the help!"

"Right then. Let's set off for the Beachside Camp."

"Are you ready?"

No: "Then I'll be waiting right here. Come speak with me when you're ready."

"Interesting. The Pearl Clan is recommending the Galaxy Team's Sticky Globs."

"Right then. Let's set off for the Beachside Camp."

Cobalt Coastlands (Beachside Camp): "It seems we've arrived in time to catch another massive mass outbreak."; "Remember Gaeric's advice. Perhaps those Sticky Globs could be a big help. Now then, let's begin our research."; "You can let me know if you wish to give Munchlax some Aguav Berries, as well. It will grant you a bit of insight into the Pokémon gathering in these massive mass outbreaks."

Cobalt Coastlands (Beachside or Coastlands Camp)

If talked to before investigating three massive mass outbreaks

"Please investigate three massive mass outbreaks in the Cobalt Coastlands!"

If talked to after investigating three massive mass outbreaks

"It seems the Survey Corps really does get the job done! I'm glad I asked you for help."

"I'm also glad we can get information from the Pearl Clan more easily now."

"I'd be grateful to hear about anything you've discovered."

"Hm! The straightforward passion of the young... Most admirable!"

Cobalt Coastlands (Ginkgo Landing): "I don't understand a word you're saying, but it sounds like you know what you're talking about."; "I like the Survey Corps. It's good to see young people so passionate about their cause."; "All right. Next, we visit the Coronet Highlands!"; "...Or at least, that would be the plan. But I've yet to hear of a single sighting of massive mass outbreaks in the highlands."; "If and when we do hear of any sightings there, let's meet up at the Highlands Camp."

Request 99 - "Tricky Treat Strategy"

Jubilife Village (Floaro Main Street): "<player>... I have something important to discuss with you."; "I heard an odd rumor... I believe it may be the key to unlocking the mysteries behind massive mass outbreaks."; "You must first acquire ten Mushroom Cakes. Then bring them to the Secret Hollow in the Alabaster Icelands."; "I call this... My tricky treat strategy!"; "I'll be waiting for you in the Alabaster Icelands—in the Secret Hollow."

Alabaster Icelands (Secret Hollow): "Did you bring me ten Mushroom Cakes?"; "Hehehe... Well done."; "Mushroom Cakes... And some quality ones, at that! Now we're just getting started. Leave the rest to me. You can return to Jubilife Village. I'll share how successful my strategy was when I'm finished."

Jubilife Village (Front gate)

"My, my. What's on your mind?"

Regardless of choice: "What in the world are you talking about? Mushroom Cakes and strategies...?"

"Come to think of it, Irida also came to me with an odd request. She asked me for Hearty Grains, so I gathered some for her..."

"Could there be some Pokémon taking the guise of people to stir up mischief?"

Request 100 - "Massive Mass Outbreak in the Highlands"

Jubilife Village (Front gate)

"None of this is why I called you here, mind. I meant to tell you that a massive mass outbreak has been reported in the Coronet Highlands."

"The next step in our research is to investigate the Coronet Highlands! Let's see what we can find."

"If you're ready, shall we set out to investigate?"

Yes: "Very good. We should start out from the Highlands Camp, then."

No: "Then I'll be waiting right here. Come speak with me when you're ready."

If talked to again after saying No: "Remember that we make for the Coronet Highlands. Are you ready to brave them?"

Coronet Highlands (Highlands Camp): "Now then, let us continue our investigation into these outbreaks here in the Coronet Highlands!"; "It's as I feared, then... These massive mass outbreaks really are growing out of hand. <player>! We must endeavor to find the truth behind why they keep happening!"; "You did well to save that person, Sabi. You're as fine a protector as any lord or lady Pokémon!"; "She's right. I know how strong you are, but we should move with caution here."

Coronet Highlands (Highlands, Mountain, or Summit Camp)

If talked to before investigating three massive mass outbreaks

"We should investigate at least three outbreak locations here in the Coronet Highlands before we can consider our work done."

If talked to after investigating three massive mass outbreaks

"Good work out there. It seems we may have learned all we can from the highlands for now."

"How leader-like of you, Adaman!"

"You misunderstand me, Adaman. As the sister who helped raise you, I'm truly proud to see how far you've come."

"Quite like you to see it that way, Adaman."

"My, my. It would seem having a trusted partner causes one to view these outbreaks in a rather different light..."

"Now then. The Alabaster Icelands still await—one more steep hurdle for us to overcome."

"It appears Munchlax is eager to continue as well! We'll await you at Jubilife's front gate as usual. Join us when you're ready for another survey."

Request 101 - "Massive Mass Outbreak in the Icelands"

Jubilife Village (Front gate)

"Our last item of research is to look into massive mass outbreaks in the Alabaster Icelands. Let's finish this—together!"

"If you're ready, shall we embark on our investigation?"

Yes: "Good! Then let's head to the Snowfields Camp."

No: "Then I'll be waiting right here. Come speak with me when you're ready."

If talked to again after selecting No: "We make for the Alabaster Icelands this time. Are you ready?"

Alabaster Icelands (Snowfields Camp)

"The cold here seems to cut right through you..."

"What are you two doing here?"

"Blizzards, you say...? It could just be the cold environment, of course, but I have to wonder if there's more to it..."

"Well, we'd better get to it. I think we should look into more outbreak locations than usual this time."

Regardless of choice: "I know increasing the scope of our investigation is a lot to ask at this point..."

"This will be your first time investigating these outbreaks, won't it, you two? Try not to overstrain yourselves."

"I can't tell if they hate each other of if they're both enjoying this... Either way, I imagine they never would have crossed paths if it hadn't been for you."

"For now, let us focus on investigating the outbreaks here in the icelands."

Alabaster Icelands (Snowfields or Icepeak Camp)

If talked to before investigating three massive mass outbreaks

"You need to investigate three areas here in the Alabaster Icelands."

If talked to after investigating three massive mass outbreaks

"So, you've finished checking the three areas you were charged with in the icelands."

"Well then, it seems we're done here. You've worked tirelessly to investigate all across Hisui! But we still don't know what causes these massive mass outbreaks... And they pose a threat to anyone without strong partners at their side."

Request 102 - "Daybreak"

Obsidian Fieldlands (Deertrack Heights)

"Such a beautiful view is only possible because we have both. Together."

"tell me, <player>. Did you enjoy surveying this land once again?"

I enjoyed it: "Was it? I suppose it's always thrilling to have a mystery to delve into. I enjoyed it, too."

"He seems fine. Pokémon remain mysterious creatures to us. Who's to say how he does it? I'm just grateful to him for helping us find the outbreaks and telling us what we'll find at each."

"An ever-changing Hisui... Tell me, <player>, how do you think the future people of Hisui will live with Pokémon?"

"You certainly have some curious ideas. But I suppose that's no surprise, coming from someone who fell out of the sky. We may have finished our investigations for now, but Munchlax and I will continue to help you however we can."

"You know, <player>... Perhaps these new outbreaks truly are just a gift from almighty Sinnoh. A gift meant for you—for all the good changes you've brought to all of us here in Hisui."

Jubilife Village (Photography studio): "I always just take photos with Munchlax, but I'd like one with you, too. How about it?"

Jubilife Village (Training grounds)

Regular Pokémon battle

Before battle

"Trying to bring out the best in our partners is one thing the Diamond Clan and the Galaxy Team have in common. So let's have a fun and intense battle that both our teams can really enjoy!"

After being defeated

"Through battling, I feel that I'm coming to a greater understanding both of you and of my own partner Pokémon. I hope I can come to understand the feelings of wild Pokémon in this way, too."

Any base camp

If talked to when no massive mass outbreaks are occurring

"It seems there's no massive mass outbreak occurring here now."

If talked to when a massive mass outbreak is happening

"Hoping to get some help from Munchlax? I'll need 5 Aguav Berries."

Yes: "Understood! It's up to you, Munchlax!"

No: "You're sure? Well, let me know if you change your mind."

If talked to after feeding Munchlax

"Munchlax sure looks full and satisfied, don't you think?"

If talked to after a massive mass outbreak ends

"It seems the massive mass outbreak you were investigating has dissipated. We may as well return to Jubilife Village and wait for another massive mass outbreak to... well, break out."
