In the core series games

Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon

Kantonian GymUSUM
"The name's Ryuki. I'm what you might call a star. I mean, with partners like my Pokémon, how could I not be a star? I came all the way across the sea here to Alola to challenge the Pokémon Gym!"
"But this Kantonian Gym here... This isn't a real Pokémon Gym. Still, I dig it here. It's got a feel to it, man. It's got spirit."
"Hey, Trainer. I can feel your spirit, too! Want to have a battle with Ryuki?/Hey, Champ! Why not have a battle with me? Let our fiery spirits clash in a blaze of glory!"
Sure!: "Allow me to introduce my band mates! Come on, babies!"
No thanks!: "I don't blame you. I'm a rocker down to my core, after all!"
  • Upon being defeated
"I'm gonna belt out everything inside of me! I've gotta encourage my Pokémon to keep rocking!"
  • After being defeated
"All right! My babies were all fired up to play a set, but you chilled them out nicely!"
First challenge: "That's right, a Dragon Scale! I've poured my spirit into it, too!" "Hey! You're curious about what kind of item the Dragon Scale is, aren't you? Well, you'll have to figure that out for yourself!"
"Once Alola gets a real Pokémon Gym, I give you my word I'll become the Dragon-type Leader!"
  • If talked to again (subsequent challenges)
"The name's Ryuki. I'm what you might call a star. And now, you're a star, too! There's only one thing two stars can do—get the crowd fired up with a blazing, rocking Pokémon battle!"
  • If talked to again after being defeated
"Hey, no encores! I pour my spirit completely into one battle, one move!"
Pokémon League
First challenge
  • Before battle
"The name's Ryuki. I'm what you might call a star. I mean, with partners like my Pokémon, how could I not be a star? I came all the way across the sea here to Alola to spread my fame out here, too! The whole world will be mine soon!"
  • Upon being defeated
"I'm gonna belt out everything inside of me! I've gotta encourage my Pokémon to keep rocking!"
  • After being defeated
"Everyone's got their own problems, huh? The critics loved my songs, but nobody was buying my music for a while, man. But I'm just a rocker down to my bones. Nothing else to do but keep on rocking. I dig you, Champ. Looks like you know who you are, too, right down to your bones."
Subsequent challenges
  • Before battle
"My babies here are dying to play a set. I figure what better stage than the Champion's! Allow me to introduce my bandmates! Come on, babies!"
  • Upon being defeated
"I'm gonna belt out everything inside of me! I've gotta encourage my Pokémon to keep rocking!"
  • After being defeated
"But passing through the fire makes me stronger, and that's why I'm a star! I'll roll into town again sometime, Champ. I'm always looking for a good gig."

Story Event - Who's the Best Singer?
  • The Special Concert Battle Begins!
"It looks like our shouting resonated with everyone's souls!"

"But I do think a competition to decide who's the best musician might be interesting!"
"This is sudden, but the three of us are gonna do another live concert!"
  • Different Types of Musicality
"The three of us all have our own style of music. I think it's gonna be difficult to decide who's the best among us..."
"But I'm excited for the possibility of new music being made through competing instead of collaborating!"
"It's a competition AND a concert! We have to entertain everyone listening as well!"
"I'm OK with that too!"
"(Someone who'd work the best with my shouting...)"
"(I remember! The burning soul I heard that day!)"
"So Lyra! Let's belt out everything inside of us together!"
  • Off-screen
"You haven't forgotten that hot day when you sang your burning soul out with Jigglypuff, have you?"
  • On-screen
"Thanks! I was hoping you'd say that!"
"Lisia! Could you help me out as well?"
"All right, no worries! Do your best at work!"
"Although...Steven and <player> are off the table too, huh..."
"You're—"
"Really?!"
"Hey, star from Sinnoh! Let's belt it all out together!"
"All right!"
"Now we've got the members with the best shouts!"
  • Piers the Melancholy
"That's right! We'll fire up our souls even more!"
"We're all ready!"
"You must be feeling good as well since you're asking, Roxie!"
  • Off-screen
"I feel like Toxtricity's personality is refined even more!"
  • On-screen
"So that Toxtricity was from Piers?"
  • What Singers Can Do
"We're gonna start it off with our spirited shouting!"
"We got so much power from everyone's cheering!"
"The team who collected the most votes is..."
"Everyone's saying that they like each kind of music!"
"Everyone! We actually have one song left for the end!"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Ryuki
You really rocked it!: "Hey! <player>! You heard me belting it out on the mic, eh?"
Those were some spectacular sounds!: "Hey! <player>! Those were the sounds of us belting it out!"
"I actually use dragon Pokémon's cries as an inspiration for my singing style."
"That's why the deep bass of his explosions are a perfect match for my singing. They reverberate all the way through to the heart!"
"His"? Who is that?: "Whoops, I forgot to introduce you! This is my partner Pokémon, Turtonator!"
What do you mean, "explosions"?: "Oh, right! I forgot to introduce you! This is my partner Pokémon, Turtonator!"
"I wanted to play gigs with him on Pasio, so we became a sync pair."
"His shell is something else. If you apply a bit of pressure to it..."
"it explodes, just like that! And THAT's why I need him when I play shows!"
"And on top of that, the pattern on his shell looks like a star, right? I scouted him for my band the second I saw him."
"Huh..."
"Come to think of it, I guess I've always been the type to fall in love at first sight."
Love at first sight?/Hm? What happened?: "You wanna hear the story of me, the guy who rushes headlong into everything, and his Pokémon?"
"I became obsessed with the idea of becoming a musician, and I left my hometown."
"My family and everyone from my town was cheering me on."
"So I swore I'd make my dream come true—my dream of becoming an overseas sensation!"
"Nobody was buying my music for a while... But through it all, my babies kept the passion burning and kept me going."
"Yeah...like Turtonator here!"
"I fell for every one of my babies at first sight. ALL of them are the best partner Pokémon I could ever ask for, not just Turtonator."
"And, of course, all the fans who fell for ME at first sight as I was belting it out on stage are the best, too!"
"Someday the whole world WILL be mine, and I'll make everyone proud!"
"And, of course, I'll do it while traveling the world and scouting more members for my band!"
Did you meet Turtonator during your travels too?: "Oh yeah! Me and him belting it out at each other is one of my favorite memories!"
That sounds pretty fun.: "It is! Nothing beats traveling to new places and finding new band members!"
"I bet you've fallen for a Pokémon at first sight too and scouted it for your team. Am I right?"
Of course!: "Yeah! I love that energy! You really get what's important, don't you?"
I dunno about that...: "I get it. You're the type who likes to play it cool! I guess I'm more reckless."
"There aren't any wild Pokémon on Pasio, so I guess it'll be hard to scout new members..."
"but I think I've found my next big thing!"
"I get now why you're so popular with all the other Trainers that specialize in Dragon-type Pokémon!"
"So, Pasio's very own rock star—wanna be best buds?"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Nate (Champion)
"OK! That was a nice gig! I expected no less from a Neo Champion!"
"I could feel that you and Haxorus have fiery spirits, Nate!"
"Not many people can work with dragon Pokémon as well as you can!"
"I'm surprised, though. Your Haxorus is acting totally different now than he was during our gig. He's so cool and collected."
"During our set, he was as soulful as any dragon Pokémon—but now? He's like a whole 'nother Pokémon!"
"Hahaha! Nice! It's important to have an on-off switch like that! You'd get real tired if you were always so soulful!"
"I'm sure you're setting a great example for everyone else, too!"
"You really wanna know?"
"Sorry, even my hardcore fans don't get to know stuff like that."
"What I'm like on my own time is a secret!"

  • Random conversation
"Me and my Pokémon have traveled to many different regions, singing and battling along the way."
"I've scouted members of my band from Johto, Unova, and Alola."

"Hey, I just thought of something! I'll put all those happy and bittersweet memories into a song and belt it out!"
  • If spoken to again
"Have you ever gone on a journey? If you haven't, you should go right out there and do it!"
"I'm sure you'd make some awesome memories!"
  • Random conversation
"Haha, I like that look on your face. It's like you're saying, "You don't know who I am? Get with the times, man!""

"Meeting you here on Pasio has become my awesomest memory! I'm absolutely gonna make a song about it!"
