Quotes

Hokulani Observatory

"You're still as fired up as ever, eh, "Royal"?"

"But I was the captain once, my masked friend. It's <player>, right? Thanks for coming all the way up Hokulani to visit us. But our Captain Sophocles is a busy young man. Always calculating comets' paths or working on that Festival Plaza thing of his... So I'll just determine whether you're qualified to take on the trial. I'll heal your team first, of course."

• Before battle

"I'll gladly show you the skills of a Trainer who toughened up while adventuring alongside Kukui back in the day!"

• Upon being defeated

"You're with Kukui... Looks like he brought along a good Trainer."

• After being defeated

"Well, well, you certainly seem qualified to take on the trial."

"That guy's as interesting as ever. My old buddy! Welcome to our observatory, <player>!"

Pokémon League

• Before battle

"I came to check on what Kukui has built, and... the Pokémon League is fantastic! It's a place that conveys the awesomeness of Alola to the world. And in that case, I guess that what's important is what kind of Trainer the Champion is."

• Upon being defeated

"That Kukui...he discovered a great Trainer."

• After being defeated

"Just as I'd expect from an acquaintance of Kukui's! I too am proud that you are the strongest Trainer in Alola! I'll try to come hang out again. Pokémon battles with you are more fun than any game."
