: ''"Days like this make me want to go snorkeling with my Pokémon. Care to join us?"''

: ''"Would you rather cool off with an Ice Stone or an Icy Rock? I wonder which one would work better."''

: ''"It doesn't matter if it gets dark or cold outside—it always feels like summertime somewhere on Pasio."''

: ''"There are all sorts of Trainers out there! You should spend your time enjoying this island and meeting the people gathered here!"''

: ''"As you explore Pasio, I want you to enjoy how it's constantly changing. See it with your own eyes, and feel it in your heart!"''

: ''"A lot has happened since I first met you. It's been fun, hasn't it?"''

: ''"The world is full of mysteries. There's still much fun to be had in chasing them."''

: ''"Did you battle with everything you've got? And did you think it over after? Good. Then it's time for a break."''

:: '''Nice work!'''/'''Congrats on the win!''': ''"These sync stones have a truly brilliant shine to them, don't they?"''

: ''"Their beauty is different from any other stone I've seen before..."''

:: '''Uhh, are you listening to me?'''/'''Looking at rocks on your Poryphone?''': ''"Hm?"''

: ''"Oh! Hello there, <player>! Sorry, I was a bit preoccupied with this stone..."''

:: '''What sort of stone?''': ''"Why, a very special stone!"''

:: '''You really like stones, huh?''': ''"I do! And this one is a very special stone!"''

: ''"A stone that can only be found at the bottom of the ocean near [[Pasio]]... A [[sync stone]], of course!"''

: ''"I've traveled far and wide to find a stone that sparkles and shines as perfectly as this one does."''

: ''"The bond that grows and develops between a Trainer and a Pokémon is often referred to as sync strength..."''

: ''"And sync stones react to that strength, making them glitter even more brightly."''

: ''"But you already knew that, didn't you?"''

: ''"Due to my status as a {{pkmn|Champion}}, I get challenged to Pokémon battles constantly here on Pasio."''

: ''"But one of the great things about that is that I get to see everyone's sync stones shine whenever I battle!"''

: ''"The fact that I get to see them sparkle makes me look forward to battling even more."''

: ''"The thing is..."''

: ''"Well, every sync stone shines a bit differently. Each one is unique."''

: ''"Don't get me wrong—I'm incredibly pleased by that fact."''

: ''"But I believe there's a well of even greater potential hidden within these stones."''

: ''"That's why... <player>! Do you have time for a battle right now?"''

: ''"Against you, my sync stone could potentially shine brighter than it ever has before, as long as we fight with all our might!"''

:: '''You're on!'''/'''Challenge accepted!''': ''"All right! Thanks for agreeing to help."''

: ''"Let's give this everything we've got, {{p|Metagross}}!"''

: ''"We're going to make our sync stone sparkle like it's never sparkled before!"''

: ''"Metagross! Let's go!"''

: ''"Hah! Just as I thought!"''

: ''"You and your Pokémon truly are a spectacular [[sync pair]], <player>!"''

: ''"When a Trainer and a Pokémon join together with a bond as strong as yours..."''

: ''"that strength really does seem to reflect in their sync stone."''

: ''"Just like how polishing a gemstone makes it sparkle, it seems we sync pairs need to hone our skills in order to shine as well!"''

: ''"Please, will you join me again sometime soon? I'd like to polish our battling skills together!"''

:: '''Absolutely!''': ''"Great answer! I knew my instincts about you were correct."''

:: '''I don't plan on losing!''': ''"Hah! Great answer! I knew my instincts about you were correct."''

: ''"Soon, Metagross and I will be shining brighter than ever before! And I'm sure you and your Pokémon will do the same."''

: ''"Although..."''

: ''"when it comes down to it, I'm just the strongest there is right now."''

: ''"Hmm... Maybe I should just go out and search for meteorites instead..."''

:: '''Hey there!''': ''"Oh, hi, <player>! How's it going?"''

:: '''What are you up to?''': ''"Oh, hi, <player>! I didn't think I'd run into you today."''

: ''"I was just doing a bit of thinking."''

: ''"Did you know that {{p|Rayquaza}} can Mega Evolve without using a [[Mega Stone]]? It's part of what drew me to forming a [[sync pair]] with mine."''

: ''"But I've still barely scratched the surface when it comes to learning about its {{mas|Mega Evolution}}."''

:: '''Do you know any experts that could help?''': ''"Hmm... There is one person I know who's studied Mega Evolution."''

:: '''I wouldn't know where to start.''': ''"Yes, I am in a bit of a pickle. If only I could find someone well-versed in the subject."''

: ''"{{mas|Professor Sycamore}}!"''

: ''"<player> and I were just talking about Rayquaza's Mega Evolution."''

: ''"You wouldn't happen to know why it's able to Mega Evolve without the power of a Mega Stone, would you?"''

: ''"That's what I was thinking."''

: ''"We do have evidence that Rayquaza have eaten meteorites in the [[Hoenn]] region."''

: ''"What do you think that could mean?"''

:: '''It uses meteorites as an energy source?''': ''"Precisely. I believe that's the correct conclusion as well."''

:: '''Meteorites are its favorite food?''': ''"*chuckle* I'm not sure about that. But I do think it may be able to use meteorites as some kind of energy source."''

: ''"Ah, sorry, Rayquaza. You must be getting bored of all this science talk."''

: ''"There's still so much I don't understand about you..."''

: ''"but as for what you're feeling right now, I think I may have a hunch."''

: ''""Enough talk. Let's have a battle already." ...Am I right?"''

: ''"Hey, you don't have time for a quick battle with us, do you?"''

: ''"Theorizing is great, but battling is still the best way I know to understand a Pokémon better!"''

:: '''Let's do it!''': ''"I had a feeling you'd be on board!"''

:: '''Right now?''': ''"Of course!"''

:: ''"I don't know how much longer Rayquaza can contain itself with such formidable opponents right in front of it."''

: ''"I appreciate it!"''

: ''"In that case... <player>! It's time to battle!"''

: ''"Let's make it crystal clear which one of us is the strongest!"''

: ''"The results of our analysis showed that it contains a very rare metal. And do you know how valuable it—"''

: ''"Maybe it's using the energy of the stone to change its form, just like {{mas|Mega Evolution}}."''

:: '''The truth?''': ''"Well, maybe not the truth—more like what I hope is the case."''

: ''"When it comes down to it, I'm just the strongest there is right now."''

: ''"We're the hottest, coolest team around."''

: ''"Rayquaza and I will blow your imagination away!"''

: ''"I feel like I've just begun to see the shape of the world."''

: ''"I've done a fair bit of wandering from place to place, starting with the Hoenn region, where I grew up."''

: ''"Part of my goal was to traverse the land in search of rare stones, but more than that..."''

: ''"I wanted to walk this world on my own two feet. To see it with my own eyes. To feel it on my very skin."''

: ''"How about you? What is it that you want to learn or experience here on Pasio? I'd be interested to hear your story sometime."''

:: ''"As a Champion, I wouldn't have been able to travel around so freely if not for the support I had from others."''

:: ''"I'm eternally grateful for all of the help they gave me."''

: ''"Traveling here and there—hunting rare stones and collecting my favorites—is my hobby."''

: ''"Although...you probably already knew that. I'm sure I've mentioned it at least once or twice."''

: ''"Anyways, the reason I keep bringing it up is..."''

: ''"Well, it's sync stones. Do you think it would be possible to take a sync stone back to the Hoenn region with me?"''

:: ''"Did you know that sync stones react to the bond between a sync pair? The stronger that bond is, the brighter the stone shines."''

:: ''"With a luster like that, sync stones probably rank as one of my top five favorite kinds of stones in existence."''

: ''"Sync pairs are what ideal partnership between people and Pokémon looks like."''

: ''"It would be amazing if this sort of relationship expanded beyond Pasio someday."''

: ''"Think about it. We would all be so much more in tune with one another. It could bring harmony to the entire planet."''

: ''"That's my theory, anyway."''

:: ''"I hope that someday the world will accept the simple, most fundamental truth into their hearts..."''

:: ''"The truth that people and Pokémon are connected. We simply can't exist without each other."''

: ''"I have a house in [[Mossdeep City]], back in Hoenn. I was staying there before I traveled to Pasio."''

: ''"Have you met {{mas|Tate}} and {{mas|Liza}}? They're the Mossdeep City Gym Leaders, so I've had a lot of interaction with them..."''

: ''"It really is a splendid place. You should visit sometime."''

: ''"I'd love to show you to my home, though you'll have to forgive the rather sparse decor..."''

:: ''"I wonder what my next adventure will be after I return to Mossdeep City..."''

:: ''"I could always do a bit more traveling. Or perhaps I could settle down and dedicate my time to training."''

: ''"There are many things in this world that one cannot accomplish alone."''

: ''"That's why it's so essential that we have friends... and that we help each other when we're in need."''

: ''"With you and I and our Pokémon all working together, <player>..."''

: ''"I feel like we could overcome any disaster that comes at us. Don't you agree?"''

:: ''"I've been keeping an eye on you and your Pokémon. You've been training hard, pushing yourselves to grow stronger."''

:: ''"I like to see partners who do their best together. That's why I like you so much!"''

: ''"A lot of great sync pairs have gathered here on Pasio..."''

: ''"but I find myself particularly drawn to you and your Pokémon."''

: ''"It's clear that your battle skills are a cut above the rest, and you share a close-knit bond with each other."''

: ''"But what really impresses me is the number of friends you have made who truly support you."''

: ''"It's an incredible power to have. Don't go taking it for granted, all right?"''

:: ''"If you ever make it to the Hoenn region in the future, come and find me. I'll be waiting for your challenge."''

:: ''"Let's put it all on the line. No holding back... Just me and you in a battle to see who's the strongest!"''

: ''"We all have a hidden glimmer within ourselves... a hidden excellence."''

: ''"When we're passionate about something or we're protecting something we care about, that glimmer inside us shines really brightly..."''

: ''"like the way the facets of a gemstone glint in the light. I love people and Pokémon that have that sort of glimmer."''

: ''"I mean people and Pokémon like you and your partner. I was referring to you two, in case that didn't come across."''

:: ''"It's not about what's on the outside. That beautiful glimmer shines from within you."''

:: ''"It may not be visible to you, but to those of us who see you doing your very best each day, you shine like a precious gem."''

:: ''"That's why I like you both so much."''

: ''"This outfit looks nice and cool, doesn't it?"''

: ''"We're going to a festival, after all. I would look out of place in my regular suit."''

: ''"However, this new look of mine might explain why I suddenly find myself surrounded by people."''

: ''"Or maybe it's because I'm so well known in Hoenn?"''

: ''"Pasio is an artificial island that was created for the PML."''

: ''"What sort of energy system is in place that's capable of providing power to an artificial island of this scale?"''

: ''"I'd love to know more about the technology being utilized here."''

: ''"Have you heard of Groudon? It's a Legendary Pokémon native to Hoenn."''

: ''"Groudon is said to have called up harsh sunlight that dried up the ocean, expanding the continents."''

: ''"Well, the summer sun isn't as dangerous as that."''

: ''"It's just that I'm always reminded of that story on hot days like today."''

: ''"I'm not very good at cutting loose and having a good time."''

: ''"It's great to see Pasio so caught up in such a festive atmosphere, but I just don't know how to enjoy it..."''

: ''"I know! If you see any booths that have geological finds on display, could you let me know?"''

: ''"You'd be surprised what rare stones you can sometimes find at places like this!"''

: ''"<player>! If you're going out to do fieldwork, be especially mindful of the heat."''

: ''"Some Pokémon perk up in strong sunlight, but be careful not to get too much sun yourself."''

: ''"You'll be safe if you're going into caves to search for rare stones..."''

: ''"but if you're outside and you think you may be getting too much sun, be sure to get under some shade right away."''

: ''"Our bonds with our partner Pokémon can grow stronger even outside of battles."''

: ''"In other words, we can create new bonds by enjoying summer to the fullest with our Pokémon."''

: ''"The same goes for relationships between Trainers. Summer can create new bonds there as well."''

: ''"Spending time together is a valuable experience that's worth every moment."''

:: ''"What do you think of the bonds you've made this summer?"''

:: ''"Do you think they'll last a lifetime?"''

: ''"Do you know what a meteor shower is?"''

: ''"It's when numerous shooting stars can be seen soaring through the sky. Some even fall to this planet as meteorites."''

: ''"The Hoenn region has a long history of shooting stars and meteorites."''

: ''"Special stones raining down from the skies... I can't help but feel a sense of adventure there."''

:: ''"I wonder if we can also observe meteor showers here on Pasio."''

:: ''"Would you like to watch a meteor shower with me? How does that sound?"''

: ''"It's not often that I get to dress up for a special occasion."''

: ''"Come on, let's enjoy the day together!"''

: ''"What do you and your Pokémon do when you come across a really big obstacle?"''

: ''"Rayquaza and I can simply soar right over it."''

: ''"But using brute strength to smash through it or circumnavigating it altogether are also perfectly good options."''

: ''"There's always more than one way to do things."''

: ''"My partner Rayquaza is such a fascinating Pokémon. Did you know it likes to eat meteorites?"''

: ''"I happen to love rocks and stones as well, so we make an excellent team."''

: ''"Though I am slightly worried that it might try to gobble up my prized collection one day..."''

: ''"I spotted Wallace earlier today. He was smiling ear to ear as he watched all the passersby moving about the city."''

: ''"We're so lucky to be in a place full of smiles and happy people."''

: ''"I felt a thrill of excitement in my chest the first time we battled... I'll never forget it."''

: ''"Every day I get to battle you feels like a celebration of that first time!"''

: ''"Do you want to know why rocks and stones are so amazing? I'd love to teach you."''

: ''"Other than gemstones, rocks are mostly plain and colorless. Not much sparkle or shine."''

: ''"But behind every stone is an incredible backstory."''

: ''"Every stone you see has a reason for being there."''

:: ''"It takes a long time for a stone to become what it is, just like it takes time for us to grow and become stronger."''

:: ''"I hope you and your Pokémon continue to deepen your bond together as you grow on your journey."''

: ''"Standing at the very top can often feel like a battle with yourself..."''

: ''"so I'm glad I get the opportunity to battle talented sync pairs like you and your partner."''

: ''"It lets me feel that drive to aim even higher—to feel the bond I've developed with my own partner Pokémon."''

:: ''"Your partner seems to have a great deal of trust in you."''

:: ''"*chuckle* I can tell by the joyful expression on its face alone!"''

:: ''"Rayquaza and I might have some competition!"''

: ''"Did you know that Deoxys is the result of the sudden mutation of a space virus?"''

: ''"That means that Deoxys originally comes from somewhere in space—far, far beyond the sky we see above us."''

: ''"It's hard to even imagine things on such an enormous scale!"''

: ''"The sparkling stars are so romantic—and deeply mysterious."''

: ''"I think that's why, ever since long ago, people have always been fascinated by outer space."''

: ''"How about you? Are you a fan of outer space? If so, I can show you around the space center in Mossdeep City."''

: ''"I've heard that the crystalline organ on Deoxys's chest is actually its brain."''

: ''"That enchanting sparkle is so beautiful, don't you think? It's dangerously alluring."''

: ''"But even a true rock enthusiast like me wouldn't dream of trying to get that crystal for myself!"''

: ''"Deoxys is capable of changing into different forms."''

: ''"Its strength lies in being able to adapt to its surroundings."''

: ''"In this sygna suit, I match Deoxys's look!"''

: ''"It's such a sleek and futuristic design."''

: ''"What do you think, <player>? I'd like to hear your opinion."''

: ''"Some of the rarest minerals on the planet actually exist in abundance out in space."''

: ''"That's true about a lot of things."''

: ''"It would be so helpful if we could gather some of those minerals from space."''

:: ''"Having a bigger source of useful minerals would be a good thing, of course, but..."''

:: ''"For a rock maniac like me, it would be sad to see the minerals lose value as they become less scarce. It's a complicated feeling."''

:: ''"But minerals have more appeal than just rarity!"''

: ''"We humans grow and mature, but we don't tend to change our appearances as drastically as Pokémon do."''

: ''"Maybe that's why we learned to enjoy different clothes and fashion."''

:: ''"Why don't you try dressing up in some new styles yourself?"''

:: ''"I'd really love to see a totally new look for you!"''

: ''"To be a detective, you need intelligence and keen observation."''

: ''"You also need endurance and resilience for when a case drags on a long time."''

: ''"And you can't forget a reliable partner!"''

: ''"When I think over things in these clothes, I can concentrate better than usual."''

: ''"Although...I worry the look could draw attention while on stakeouts."''

: ''"Next time I see {{mas|Looker}}, I'll ask him for tips on blending in."''

: ''"{{p|Stoutland}} is good at [[Poké Ride|finding lost items]], so he's great to have around when you're looking for something."''

: ''"Although these days, he keeps bringing me rocks... Maybe he's taking on some of my traits."''

: ''"A detective's job is to seek the truth behind accidents and incidents."''

: ''"That said, it'd be better if we could prevent such things rather than just deal with them after they're done."''

: ''"That's a detective's dream."''

: ''"I know what you're up to, <player>!"''

: ''"I'm guessing you want to be part of a strong and reliable [[sync pair]] that everyone loves, right?"''

: ''"I didn't even have to deduce that. I can tell just by looking at you."''

: ''"I'm good at finding and investigating things."''

: ''"Maybe detective work suits me."''

: ''"Becoming an independent detective instead of inheriting [[Mr. Stone|my father's]] [[Devon Corporation|business]] doesn't sound too bad, actually."''

:: ''"I wonder what path is best for me..."''

:: ''"I guess I'll find out while continuing to seek new experiences."''

: ''"The world is still full of mysteries."''

: ''"If I were to solve all those mysteries one by one... I don't think it'd be much fun."''

: ''"Some things are more exciting when left a mystery."''

:: ''"Take the numerous legends spread across the world, for example..."''

:: ''"Their being out of reach is what makes people want to pursue them."''

: ''"Good to see you, <player>. You're looking particularly cheerful today."''

: ''"Where are you heading out to? Perhaps I could tag along, if that's all right."''

: ''"<player>! Is your adventure going well?"''

: ''"Summer is an exciting time, isn't it? I hope you enjoy each and every one of your adventures to the fullest!"''

: ''"<player>! I was hoping I'd run into you."''

: ''"I'd love to have a chat so you can tell me about all of your adventures."''

: ''"<player>! Thanks for stopping by today!"''

: ''"Shall we go exploring to satisfy our inquisitive minds?"''

: ''"Hey, <player>!"''

: ''"Since we've crossed paths, how about we go on an adventure together to solve mysteries on Pasio?"''

: ''"Fine weather we're having this morning. It would be perfect for collecting stones."''

: ''"You're always so active and full of life! Just being around you gives me a boost of energy."''

: ''"I think it would be fun to explore different areas and compare all the stones we find."''

: ''"Pasio is a big island. Before you sprint across it in one go, try taking your time and enjoying the sights."''

: ''"How are you and your Pokémon doing? Be careful not to push yourselves too hard, all right?"''

: ''"Some stones shine brightly even in the deepest darkness...like the stars that shine in the night sky."''

: ''"Days like this make me want to go snorkeling with my Pokémon. Care to join us?"''

: ''"Would you rather cool off with an Ice Stone or an Icy Rock? I wonder which one would work better."''

: ''"It doesn't matter if it gets dark or cold outside—it always feels like summertime somewhere on Pasio."''

: ''"There are all sorts of Trainers out there! You should spend your time enjoying this island and meeting the people gathered here!"''

: ''"As you explore Pasio, I want you to enjoy how it's constantly changing. See it with your own eyes, and feel it in your heart!"''

: ''"A lot has happened since I first met you. It's been fun, hasn't it?"''

: ''"Hm... I've been lost in thought all morning. I don't suppose it's a bad thing, though, is it?"''

: ''"The world is full of mysteries. There's still much fun to be had in chasing them."''

: ''"Did you battle with everything you've got? And did you think it over after? Good. Then it's time for a break."''

: ''"Ah, I was just about to go look for you."''

: ''"I got you a present. It's right here."''

:: ''"I hope it will come in handy for you."''

:: ''"I thought about giving you one of my favorite stones, but I was afraid it might weigh down your bag..."''

: ''"Excellent timing! I have something for you."''

: ''"I hope you'll accept it. It's perfect for you."''

:: ''"In fact, it's one of my top five favorite items of all time!"''

:: ''"What? Was that too over the top?"''

: ''"Hey! There's something I want to give you."''

: ''"Here."''

:: ''"I'm sure you'll find a good use for it!"''

: ''"Hey there. Would you please take this?"''

:: ''"It fell suddenly from the sky—a gift from the universe to you!"''

:: ''"*chuckle* Actually, it's a present from me."''

: ''"Here's a present. Stoutland found this."''

:: ''"My deductions tell me you'll like it. Am I right?"''
