:''"Ah! I heard about you, <{{player}}>! I lead the <sc>Elite Four</sc>! You can call me <sc>Lance</sc> the dragon trainer! You know that dragons are mythical <sc>Pokémon</sc>! They’re hard to catch and raise, but their powers are superior! They’re virtually indestructible! Well, are you ready to lose? Your <sc>League</sc> challenge ends with me, <player>!"''

:''"That’s it! I hate to admit it, but you are a <sc>Pokémon</sc> master!"''

:''"I still can’t believe my dragons lost to you, <player>! You’re now the <sc>Pokémon League</sc> champion! …Or, you would have been, but you have one more challenge ahead. You have to face another trainer! His name is… <[[rival]]>! He beat the <sc>Elite Four</sc> before you. He is the real <sc>Pokémon League</sc> champion!"''

:''"I’ve been waiting for you. <Player>! I knew that you, with your skills, would eventually reach me here. There's no need for words now. We will battle to determine who is the stronger of the two of us. As the most powerful trainer and as the <sc>Pokémon League Champion</sc>… I, <sc>Lance</sc> the dragon master, accept your challenge!"''

:''"…It's over. But it's an odd feeling. I’m not angry that I lost. In fact, I feel happy. Happy that I witnessed the rise of a great new <sc>Champion</sc>!"''

:''"Ah! {{tt|I've heard about you, <{{player}}>|First time}}/{{tt|So, you've returned, <player>!|Subsequent times}} I lead the <sc>Elite Four</sc>. You can call me <sc>Lance</sc> the dragon <sc>Trainer</sc>. You know that dragons are mythical <sc>Pokémon</sc>. They’re hard to catch and raise, but their powers are superior. They’re virtually indestructible. There's no being clever with them. Well, are you ready to lose? Your <sc>League</sc> challenge ends with me, <player>!"''

:''"That’s it! I hate to admit it, but you are a <sc>Pokémon</sc> master!"''

:''"I still can’t believe my dragons lost to you, <player>. You are now the <sc>Pokémon League Champion</sc>! …Or, you would have been, but you have one more challenge left. There is one more <sc>Trainer</sc> to face! His name is… <[[rival]]>! He beat the <sc>Elite Four</sc> before you. He is the real <sc>Pokémon League Champion</sc>."''

:''"…It's over. But it’s an odd feeling. I'm not angry that I lost. In fact, I feel happy. Happy that I witnessed the rise of a great new Champion!"''

:''"Allow me to lend you my strength, whenever you should need it. It’s time to move!"''

:''"I’m Lance, dragon master and Champion of the Indigo League! I never refuse a challenge!"''

*'''Cynthia’s Perspective'''

:''"Sorry, Rosa. Can it wait until after this battle? I can’t let my fans down."''

:''"Come on, Clair. Let’s do this."''

:''"Ah, that’s right. I guess that leaves you two. Rosa, <player>, let’s team up."''

:''"I suppose this is as good a chance as any to see exactly what you’re capable of. Give these fans everything you’ve got!"''

*'''Lance’s Perspective'''

:''"I think I’m starting to like the battle style here on Pasio. It lends itself to different strategies than I’m used to elsewhere."''

:''"I see... Who’s the greatest dragon master, me or Cynthia? Interesting question."''

:''"And you say the whole island’s been talking about this? I had no idea."''

:''"It’s true that you’re strong, Clair. And it’s good to have confidence in your own abilities..."''

:''"but there’s a limit to what’s good and what’s not. Too much pride can make you overconfident, and overconfidence can make you vulnerable."''

:''"To get back to your question, Rosa, I think I share Cynthia’s feelings about the title of who’s “the greatest.”"''

:''"That title—“the greatest”—can inflate your ego, but it doesn’t really mean anything. It’s an illusion, there one minute and gone the next..."''

:''"Well, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve been meaning to take a stroll around the city sometime today."''

:''"Thanks. I’d appreciate that."''

:''"We seem to have become one of the island’s biggest attractions."''

:''"We may be Champions in title, but we’re still Pokémon Trainers first and foremost, just like anyone else."''

:''"It’s fine by me. I never refuse a challenge."''

::'''Lance!''': ''"Thank you, <player>. I’m glad you have confidence in me. Watch—I will win this battle! I stake my title of Lance, master of dragons, on my victory! Well...shall we begin, Cynthia? Time for you and Garchomp to show me the full extent of your power!"''

:''"Fine...but if this is going to be a team battle, let’s play by the rules."''

:''"Come and find me whenever you want to battle! I’ll accept your challenge anytime, anywhere!"''

:''"Sorry to disappoint you all, but I think I’m going to need a rain check. Cynthia and I will have to battle another time!"''

:''"Right. That’s just basic Pokémon training protocol. You have to make sure your Pokémon are all right before jumping into a battle situation with them..."''

:''"No, it’s all right. I’m sorry to have to let you all down today."''

:''"But as long as we’re on Pasio, there will be endless opportunities for us to battle!"''

:''"Now you’ve got something to look forward to! Right, everyone?"''

:''"That sounds like a promise. I’ll climb through the ranks and make sure it’s me standing across from you on that battlefield at the finals!"''

:''"That was a great match. I can tell you’ve both been training your Pokémon quite a bit."''

:''"The way it was moving earlier shows you’ve been raising it well. It’s looking great!"''

:''"What a fascinating story. I wish I’d been there to see it."''

:''"I’m sure you’re ready to go another round, aren’t you?"''

:''"It’s hard to catch them, but it’s so much fun training them."''

:''"However, Dragon-type Pokémon don’t do well in the cold. It’s not uncommon for me to huddle with mine in the winter to keep them warm."''

::''"Ha ha! I can’t even imagine how big that blanket would have to be."''

:''"I can’t stand Trainers that cheat or use cowardly and underhanded tactics."''

:''"If I’m going to fight in a Pokémon battle, I want to win."''

:''"Do you think that’s weird?"''

:''"How do you like my outfit today? It really captures the power of Gyarados, doesn’t it?"''

:''"I also like it because, as a traditional outfit, it’s a reminder of the ancient customs that have been passed down through time!"''

:''"This outfit shows off Gyarados’s power as a dragon!"''

:''"What’s that, you say? Gyarados isn’t a Dragon-type Pokémon?"''

:''"There was once a red Gyarados raging and thrashing about there that had been forced to  evolve by Team Rocket’s radio waves."''

::''"However, I personally prefer wearing a cape. I just can’t do without one."''

:''"I’m sure there are people there waiting for you to visit—and you might have some nostalgic reunions!"''

::''"It’s surrounded by mountains and can only be reached via a treacherous path..."''

::''"But that probably wouldn’t be much of a problem for someone like you!"''

:''"Hey, <player>. I’ve been waiting for you."''

:''"It’s the start of a new day! Be sure to live it with no regrets!"''

:''"Pleasant morning we’re having today! The Pokémon are all bright and cheerful."''

:''"Don’t let your energy crash in the afternoon. Wake up! Keep moving!"''

:''"It’s good to travel around to new places every so often. It can be a nice change of pace."''

:''"Pleasant morning we’re having today! The Pokémon are all bright and cheerful. "''

:''"Don’t let your energy crash in the afternoon. Wake up! Keep moving! "''

:''"I’m sure you’ll use it to help somebody."''

:''"I’ve been waiting for you! I have something to give you!"''

:''"You can use it when you’re in trouble. It should help you out!"''
