Quotes

Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Request 88 - "Steely Lucario"
Galaxy Hall (Entrance hall)
"Something the matter, Lucario?"
"I'm Rye."
"...And you are?"
"OK, you're <player>. Nice to meet you."
"What is it, Lucario?"
"It seems Lucario sensed your strong aura, too. If you're willing to battle us, could you come to the training grounds?"
Jubilife Village (Training grounds)
  • Before battle
"I take it you're ready for our battle?"
I'm ready: "Now then, let's forgo the small talk and proceed right to battle. That's our style!"
  • After being defeated
"That was a wonderful battle! Seems we need to redo our training, Lucario."
"Thank you for the experience. I can tell you've met many Pokémon, and that's helped make you stronger. I think we'll test our skills in other places from now on. Let's meet again!"

Trivia

  • Rye does not have any Trainer data in the game, so when battling against him, the game refers to his Pokémon as "the wild Lucario" and plays the music for wild encounters.
