In the core series

Pokémon Emerald

Petalburg City
"Excuse me! Let me guess, from the way you're dressed, are you a Pokémon Trainer? … … … … … … Well, maybe not. Your clothes aren't all that dirty. You're either a rookie Trainer, or maybe you're just an ordinary kid. I'm roaming the land in search of talented Trainers. I'm sorry to have taken your time."
Pokémon Trainers' School
"Hello? Didn't we meet before? I think back in Petalburg City. Let me introduce myself. My name's Scott. I've been traveling everywhere in search of outstanding Trainers. More specifically, I'm looking for Pokémon battle experts. So, what brings you to this School? Are you a Trainer, too? The first thing you should do is to have a Pokémon learn the move Cut. If I remember correctly, someone in this town has Cut."
"Hmm… The talent levels of the students here are unknown. The potential's there."
Slateport City
"Huh? I'm sure I met you somewhere before. Have I introduced myself to you? If not, my name's Scott. I just saw Team Aqua run away from here like they were stung. Let me guess—you drove them away?"
"Hmm… Maybe, just maybe, this Trainer…"
"All right! I think you're going to become a good friend. So, let's register each other in our PokéNavs."
"What I'd like to do is tag along with you, but I do want to keep an eye on the talents of other people, too. So, I'll be off to roam other towns a bit more. Be seeing you, <player>!"
"Oh, hey! If it isn't <player>! <Player>, let me guess—you're going to take the Battle Tent challenge? Yeah! That's a good idea! That's a really great idea! After all, a tough Trainer is the perfect fit for the Battle Tent! Give it your best effort!"
Mauville City
"Hehe… I was watching that match! You're friends with that boy Wally, aren't you? But you didn't hold anything back and beat him impressively. Yeah! That's what a real Pokémon battle is all about! I idolize Trainers like that! I'll be cheering for you!"
Verdanturf Battle Tent
"Hey there, <player>! I thought I might see you here. A Battle Tent's a place where you can meet tough Trainers. It doesn't matter what the rules are, or how battles are waged, either. <Player>, I expect you to do the best you can!"
"I visit here regularly in hopes of seeing tough Trainers in action in whatever the situation."
Fallarbor Battle Tent
"Hi, <player>! So you came out to this Battle Tent! The people in these parts tend to be easygoing and laid-back. But, you see, what I'm looking for are people with… How should I say this? Someone bursting with the desire and the drive to win. If there were a Trainer like that, I'd immediately… Whoops! Never mind! Keep working at it!"
"Instead of wasting your time with the likes of me, why not make a challenge?"
Route 119
"Hahahah! Way to go, <player>! I just passed by a Trainer riding a Bike. You just beat that Trainer, didn't you? It was pretty obvious that you did. The kid looked really upset with a face all red from anger. I sure seem to run into you often. Are you off to Fortree Gym next? I expect that you'll do well at the Gym. Well, I'll be seeing you!"
Match Call (after earning the Feather Badge)
"Hiya, <player>, it's me! Just as I thought, you won at the Fortree Gym. Your strength… Perhaps you really are the Trainer that I've been searching for. Remember, you have a fan in me. I'll be cheering from the sidelines. Keep up the great work!"
Cove Lily Motel
"… … … … … … … … … … Zzz… … … … … … Huh?! Oh, sorry, sorry! I was snoozing! I came to check out this Pokémon Contest thing. I have to admit, it does look quite entertaining, but… Consider me a purist—I prefer battles and tough Trainers. But that's just me. <Player>, I hope you'll enjoy everything like the Gyms, Contests, Battle Tent, the whole works!"
"I think it does take strategy to win a Contest. Devising Contest strategies is one way of becoming a better Trainer, I'd say."
Mossdeep City
"<Player>, feeling good? I'm doing great! I'd heard Mossdeep's Gym Leader is pretty strong, so I decided to come take a look-see for myself. But there's something wrong about this town. People are going on about a warning letter and the Space Center… I don't think it concerns me in any way, though."
Ever Grande City
"<Player>, you've clawed your way up to face the Pokémon League! I'm happy for you! You made my cheering worthwhile! <Player>, if you were to become the Pokémon League Champion… I'll get in touch with you then. Okay, <player>. Go for greatness!"
Match Call (after becoming Champion)
"Hi, hi, <player>! It's me, Scott. I'm aboard the S.S. Tidal now. It feels great to be on the sea! By the way… There's this place that I'd like to invite you to for a visit. If you're interested, board a ferry at either Slateport or Lilycove. I'll fill you in on the details when we meet. I'll be waiting!"
S.S. Tidal
"Well, hi, hi! <Player>, <player>! Something's come up, so I have to disembark, but I am glad to see you! Congratulations, League Champion! There's a place I'd like to invite someone like you. It's the… Battle Frontier! What's the place like? You'll understand when you see it! I've spoken with the ship's Captain about this. The next time you take a ferry, you should be able to sail to the Battle Frontier. Okay, <player>, I'll be waiting for you at the Battle Frontier!"
Battle Frontier
  • At the entrance
"Well, if it isn't <player>! You came out here!"
"It's great to see you here, it really is! I hope you'll take your time and explore everywhere. Naturally, I hope you'll also experience the pure essence of battling. I also have my quarters here, so feel free to visit if you have time."
  • Inside Scott's quarters
"Well, hello and welcome! Heheh… Sorry about the cramped space. Anyway, <player>, let me formally welcome you to the Battle Frontier. This is my dream come true. It took me years and years, but I've finally given shape to my dream. On reflection, it was a terribly long journey… I left home alone on a quest to find strong Trainers. No one can imagine how much effort or time it took to make this real. But that's all in the past. No point dwelling on that! All I want for you is to enjoy battling to your heart's content here. <player>, I want you to have this as a memento for all the time our paths crossed on our journeys. "
"You can check your Battle Points on your Frontier Pass. The more success you have here at the Battle Frontier, the more Battle Points you will collect. Use your Battle Points the way you see fit, like trading them for items. "
"I'm expecting great things from you!"
"You don't just train for battle, right? I think I remember you working on a Pokédex as well. Well, guess what? You may run into wild Pokémon in the Battle Frontier somewhere… Fufufu!"
"Have you met any of the Frontier Brains? Better yet, have you obtained any symbols from them? I handpicked the Frontier Brains as the toughest Trainers anywhere. But I'm sure that seeing how tough you are will startle even them!"
"Every Trainer is an individual. They all lead lives of their own. But when they're in a battle, it doesn't matter who they are. They're all the same! I love the purity of battle, where everyone is equal. That's why I go everywhere seeking Trainers who are serious about battling, and invite them here."
"Oh, I heard about you! How you ruled the Battle Tower! You beat over 50 Trainers in a row? That's fantastic! I want you to have this!"
"I'll be expecting to hear even greater things about you now!"
  • After winning 100 battles in a row at the Battle Tower
"Oh, my! I heard about you! How you overwhelmed the Battle Tower! You beat over 100 Trainers in a row? That's ridiculously spectacular! You've got to have this!"
"I'll be expecting to hear even greater things about you now!"
  • After obtaining all Silver Symbols
"Are you enjoying things in the Battle Frontier? …Wait a second… Oh! Your Frontier Pass! You've collected the full set of silver symbols! That's more than impressive! You are tough, just as I suspected! Normally, I wouldn't do something like this, but this is a special time! I want you to have this. I'm sure you can put it to proper use."
"I must say I have the gift of knowing a good Trainer when I see one. I'm so glad I had the foresight to bring you here!"
  • After collecting all Gold Symbols
"I hope you're enjoying everything in the Battle Frontier. …Wait a second… Oh, my disbelieving eyes! Your Frontier Pass! You've gathered up the full set of gold symbols! That's more than stupendous! You're incredible, just as I suspected! … … … … … … <Player>, you've got to accept this! I think you will be able to appreciate the value of my gift!"
"I must say I have the gift of knowing a good Trainer when I see one. I'm so glad I had the foresight to bring you here!"
Match Call
  • After registering Scott
"Howdy, <player>! You know how Pokémon can be found everywhere? Like in the mountains, in the sea, in tall grass anywhere? Just like Pokémon, you can find trainers everywhere, too. As a result, I have to hurry everywhere, too. Busy, busy!"
"I'm on Route 119 right now. It's teeming with trainers! It's also overgrown with tall grass everywhere, it seems. Walking around in shorts here makes me all ticklish!"
"Hi, hi, <player>! Have you had the chance to climb Mt. Pyre? The place is a memorial to the Pokémon that have passed away. It's somewhere every trainer should climb to the top of once."
"Hi, <player>! I've been hearing about these odd gangs being a nuisance. Team Magma and Team Aqua, I think they were. I would think there'd be some skilled trainers among them…But if they're thugs…"
"Oh, hi, <player>. Might there be tough trainers at the bottom of the sea? I can't go check for myself. I can't swim, for one. and I don't raise Pokémon…"
"Hi, hi, <player>! You know that you can challenge the Pokémon League when you've collected all the Gym Badges? With your talent, becoming the Champion isn't a pipe dream. But did you know? There's somewhere even better. But that's all I'm willing to say for the time being. It's something you can look forward to. When you've won your way through the Pokémon League into the Hall of Fame!"
