"Pardon?"

"Excuse-moi?"

"Yes?"

"Mhmhm!"

"Ahahaha!"

"Hmhmhm!"

"Hmmm?"

"Ah, hahaha..."

"Ooh, très bien!"

"My, what talent!"

"Oh, congratulations!"

"Be confident."

"I beg your pardon?"

"Hmph! Enough of that!"

"No, no, no!"

"Hmmm."

"Mph..."

"Oh, dear..."

"Haaah..."

"Uh!"

"Ah!"

"Huh!"

"Ugh."

"Ay-yai-yai..."

"Hmm..."

"Alright!"

"Domo arigato."

"I'm so sorry."

"Oui, oui!"

"No, no."

"Ugh!"

"S'il-vous-plait."

"Aha!"

"Wow, ¡fantástico!"

"A-ahem."

"Ciao!"

"All set?"

"Time for some research!"

Startup tutorial (starting from version 1.9.0)

"Konnichiwa! Bonjour! Pleasure to meet you. I'm Professor Bellis."

"I'm doing research on sync pairs here on Pasio. You must be <player>, right?"

"And you've already teamed up with Brock and Misty, have you? What a treat it will be to see what you three get up to!"

"Pardon the change of subject, but are you familiar with Pokémon Eggs?"

"I happen to be studying the bonds that form between members of a sync pair..."

"when the Trainer has raised their partner from an Egg!"

"Would you be a dear and lend me a hand with my research, <player>?"

"I have a feeling that a promising Trainer like you would form a maravilloso sync pair with a lucky Pokémon hatched from an Egg!"

"Here, I have three Pokémon Eggs for you to choose from! Pick one, and then you can take care of it until it's ready to hatch!"

• On the Egg selection screen

"Would you like to choose this Egg?"

• After choosing an Egg

"That Egg will take a little while to hatch. Why not go do some exploring in the meantime?"

"When the Pokémon inside seems ready to hatch, please bring the Egg back to me!"

"Well then, bonne chance! Best of luck!"

Main Story PML Arc - Chapter 3 - Rise beyond the Flames

• Fieldwork with the Professor

"Oh! Hola, <player>! Welcome to my lab! Thanks for coming."

"So, how have you been? How are your team battles going?"

Great! I want to learn more!: "Subarashii! That's great! It sounds like you've accomplished quite a lot in a short amount of time. I'd love to see what you can do..."

OK. I'm still learning.: "Ganbatte! Keep at it! With your Pokémon by your side, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in no time!"

"As a matter of fact, I think I have an idea! Would you mind joining me for some fieldwork?"

"There's a trail in the mountains nearby that would be perfecto! Are you ready to leave now? Let's go!"

"All right! Let the fieldwork begin!"

"Why don't you try tapping someone on the shoulder and get to conversing! A happy smile and an "Alola!" should do the trick!"

• After speaking to the Hiker in the second area

"I see, I see... So you two have been building up your trust in one another for decades now? How wonderful!"

"Wonderful! You could almost pass for twins!"

• After defeating the Camper in the third area

"Bravo! I can tell you've already formed an incredible bond with your Pokémon."

"Speaking of which, has anyone told you how sync moves work or why we're able to use them here on Pasio?"

"It has to do with these things called sync stones."

"Have you ever noticed that there's a shiny, rainbow-colored stone embedded in your Poryphone?"

"That's a sync stone. They're quite rare–in fact, they can only be found right here in the ocean where Pasio was built."

"The interaction between sync stones and Pokémon is actually the prime subject of my research! It's quite brilliant..."

"Sync stones amplify the power that comes from the bond between a Trainer and their Pokémon. I call this "sync strength.""

"Tapping into that sync strength is what allows us to use sync moves, as you just demonstrated. That's what makes battling on Pasio special!"

"The more you and your Pokémon develop your sync strength–your bond–the happier you'll be as a sync pair!"

"In the end, that's the real reason I'm continuing my research! Now, focus on your sync strength and try using your sync move again!"

• If spoken to in the fourth area

"... ... ..."

"Sorry, I have no idea what you just said."

"You have to use your words properly, or else no comprendo."

• If spoken to in the fifth area

"I tend to babble on endlessly whenever the subject of sync pairs comes up!"

"But you see, it's my job as a researcher to spread the information I discover!"

"Mm-hmm... I expect magnifico things from you. I hope you go on to become a fantastique sync pair! Do your best!"

"Oh! I can tell that little boost of encouragement has really lifted your spirits."

"If a passerby is kind enough to give you a morale boost, it can make you feel a little stronger for a while! Remember that!"

• After speaking to the Hiker in the fifth area

"Bingo! Yo quiero a great Pokémon battle!"

"Oui oui! I think this will be our last battle of the day!"

"What do you say we win this match and end our fieldwork with a bang!"

"Do your best, <player>!"

"Perfecto! My, my! You're really getting the hang of how Pokémon battles work here!"

"I'm glad I was able to observe you up close today. This impromptu fieldwork has been so helpful!"

"To create an even playing field, we've given every sync pair their own Poryphone to use while here on Pasio."

"Since each Poryphone contains a sync stone, everyone has the ability to use sync moves."

"And as I explained before, as your bond with your Pokémon grows, your sync strength as partners grows, too."

"I'll be sure to share any new and helpful information I come across as I continue my research, OK?"

"For now, I think our fieldwork is complete! Danke very much, <player>! Ta-ta!"

Main Story PML Arc - Chapter 26 - The Future Is Now!

• How to Defeat a Champion
• Off-screen, as "???"

"Oh? Who do we have here?"

• After appearing, as Professor Bellis

"Bonjour, <player> and friends!"

"Alola! I see you're as energetic as ever today, Hau."

"Hmm. Rosa, on the other hand, looks quite préoccupée about something. What's wrong, dear?"

"I see, I see."

"So you want to battle as many sync pairs as possible in the short time before your match with Cynthia's team?"

"You'd think so, wouldn't you?"

"But don't worry, gute Kinder! I have a great idea that might be just what the professor ordered!"

"Yes! We'll just need a little help from some special someones!"

"Now, without further ado, let's vámonos to my lab!"

• Sync Pair Pinger, Activate!

"Velkommen to my lab! I wonder if my special assistants are ready."

"These three have recently become interested in sync stones and kindly agreed to assist me with my research."

"I've made significant strides since they came aboard. Arigato, you all!"

"I know just what you mean! I can't help myself when I complete a new invention. I have to tell everyone all about it!"

"Maravilloso! It looks like the machine works!"

• Steadfast Inventors

"Excelente! Well done, everyone!"

"Hold on. If you set it to only target the strongest sync pair, won't that just bring one super strong sync pair here?"

• Third Time's the Charm

"Good idea. You should figure out what exactly is causing it to malfunction."

• Progress Is Progress!

"Arara...don't look so gloomy, you two!"

"Could this mean...?"

• An Unexpected Visitor

"Let's head outside, everyone."

"What brings you here, Blue?"

"What perfecto timing! Blue would be great for your training!"

• To the Quarterfinals!

"Wow! The legendary Trainer himself!"

"Blue actually makes a pretty good mentor!"

"Oui, that's the right attitude!"

"It's time for your quarterfinals match with Cynthia and her team!"

"<player>, are you ready?"

Here we go!/We'll win this!: "Ganbatte! Go for it! Everyone is hoping for your victory!"

Main Story PML Arc - Chapter 30 - The Road to Victory

• The Road to Victory: Part 2

"Guten Morgen, <player>! It's finally your big day!"

"It was such a wonderful surprise to hear that you're in the finals!"

"I should have expected it, though. You've made it this far because you worked together with your team members and Pokémon."

"I think now, you could make your sync stone shine brighter than anyone else's!"

"I'll be rooting for you at the finals! Boa sorte!"

I'll give it my all!: "Don't hold back! Show them everything you've got!"

Just watch me!: "Of course! I'm sure it'll be a match to remember!"

"Now, why don't you go and talk to your teammates for a bit before your big match?"

"I think they'll feel extra pumped up after a pep talk from you!"

• If spoken to

"Rosa and the others are waiting for you. Try talking to as many teammates as you can!"

"I'm sure they'd be happy to chat with you!"

• The Road Goes Ever On

"Of course I did, mon amie! I couldn't resist joining in on the big celebrazione!"

"Congratulations! Glückwünsche! Omedetou! And bravo, <player>!"

"How does it feel to be champions of the PML and have all of these people cheering for you?"

It's the best!: "Excelente! You certainly earned it!"

I feel like I'm dreaming!: "*chuckle* But it's not a dream! You made this a reality!"

"You made it all the way to the top! It's hard to believe how far you've come..."

"Can I ask you something, actually?"

"According to my data, you had to face a number of sync pairs far more skilled than yourself in this tournament."

"How do you suppose you were able to defeat such powerful opponents?"

"My, my! It sounds like you had a lot of influence on your teammates, <player>."

"This information will be très bénéfique for my research on sync stones!"

"Thanks so much for the chat! Arigato!"

"Now, I won't delay the parade any longer! Go soak up the attention! Let all of Pasio see their new champions!"

Legendary Adventures - The Beast That Devours the Sun

• The Sunrise Calls

"Ah, <player>! What a joyous celebrazione this is! This time of year is always so exciting!"

"I hope it leaves you and your Pokémon feeling refreshed and ready for more fun on the horizon! Vive la vie!"

"That reminds me... Have you heard the rumor going around lately about a Pokémon up on the mountain peak?"

"According to my sources, people have been hearing a most ferocious roar coming from up there on clear mornings, just as the sun rises!"

"Apparently, it's made the atmosphere up on the peak tantalizingly tense! It must be a majestic Pokémon indeed!"

"I'm curious to know what sort of Trainer such a Pokémon would choose as its partner... Strange thing is, no one's seen or heard any sign of one."

"You know, today was the first clear day we've had in quite a while..."

"I suspect that when the kirakira sunshine sparkles tomorrow morning, our mysterious sync pair will make an appearance!"

"Oh, how auspicious it would be if such a special sync pair were to arrive just as we're celebrating this wondrous occasion!"

"It could be the chance of a lifetime! You should seize this opportunity, <player>! Carpe diem, as they say!"

Legendary Adventures - Howling Shield of Eternity

• A Massive Impact

"Welkom! And with perfecto timing, I might add!"

"I was just doing some research on Eternatus, too."

"Of course I did! We researchers are always up-to-date on news in our field!"

"Also, Professor Sycamore is here helping us today. He's a pioneer in the field of Mega Evolution!"

"Precisely! That's exactly what we'd like you to do!"

"I believe sync stones have the potential to affect Pokémon in ways other than Mega Evolution."

"An example of this is the Dynamax phenomenon, which is said to be unique to the Galar region."

"We haven't seen any Pokémon here on Pasio Dynamax because of their sync stones yet..."

"That's why we'd like your help capturing Eternatus before anything like that can happen. Do you think you can do it?"

"Merci! We're counting on you!"

Main Story Villain Arc - Kanto - Team Rocket Returns

• Where's Red?

"There you are, <player>!"

"Unfortunately, I have some bad news... It appears Team Rocket is up to no good again!"

"Precisely. Red noticed they were becoming more active lately and went to investigate what’s going on..."

"but we haven’t heard from him for three days now."

"We'd also appreciate your help, <player> and Paulo!"

"Will you help us find Team Rocket's hideout here on Pasio?"

Sure!: "Arigato! I had a feeling you'd say yes!"

Let's do it!: "*chuckle* Wonderful! I knew we could count on you!"

"Then here's the plan! Blue, Lillie, Paulo, and <player> will work as a team!"

"Don't forget, safety first!"

• A Tricky Trap

"Giovanni!"

"You did quite a number to my lab, ransacking it like you did."

"Did you even find what you were looking for?"

"I don't have anything that would do you any good."

"I don't know what you’re talking about."

"No way! I'm not researching sync stones for evil criminals like you!"

• Giovanni’s Gambit

"You came to find me!"

"Wait! My memory stick! It has all my research data!"

"Thank you all for coming to my aid!"

"Unfortunately, Team Rocket stole a memory stick that had my research data on it."

• Rage and Chaos
• Off-screen, as "???"

"Over here!"

• After appearing, as Professor Bellis

"Those Pokémon started rampaging all of a sudden! And they're not listening to their Trainers!"

"Right now, Agatha and Bruno are spearheading the efforts to calm them down..."

"But my equipment suddenly started picking up a strong psychic energy signal! I'm sure that's what’s causing this!"

"You seem to know something about this. Would you mind telling me what happened?"

"I see... So that's what it was."

"The data Giovanni stole from me was research that was still under development."

"We were trying to work out some of the problems it could cause... Specifically, the risk of drawing out too much power from a Pokémon."

"Giovanni must be using it for his evil plans. That's why Mewtwo is rampaging and can't control its psychic powers."

"And that's causing all of these Pokémon to lose control!"

"Hmm... I'm not 100 percent sure of this, but I imagine..."

"the strength of the bond between a Pokémon and their Trainer must be a factor in how strongly they're affected by this power."

• The Last Laugh

"You did a fantastic job, everyone!"

"Thanks to you, the town is back to normal, and all injured Pokémon are being treated."

"It's unfortunate that we couldn't capture Giovanni this time, but more importantly, I'm glad you're all safe."

"But just remember...now everyone on Pasio is aware of what kind of power sync stones can create when they're abused."

"I'm worried that other organizations may follow in Team Rocket's footsteps."

"Gracias! That's very reassuring."

"Apparently, Lear sent out a formal request to the International Police because of what happened."

"Yes. They're a police organization focused on bringing down evil organizations in the name of justice."

Main Story Villain Arc - Johto - Team Rocket's Revival

• On My Own

"So you saw a Dynamax Pokémon?"

"Actually, I've already received reports of similar incidents happening."

"Not a lot...but they're on the rise."

"I already have Red and Blue on the case, as I thought we should do something soon before it gets out of hand."

"I'm pretty sure I know who's behind all of this, too."

"They've been spotted lurking around whenever a Dynamax Pokémon is reported."

"Where are you going, Silver?"

"Oh, I know someone you can ask for help!"

"She's a Pokémon Professor from Galar, home of the Dynamax phenomenon!"

• As Your Friend

"How was everything outside?"

"But we can't stop what's causing all of these problems until Lance and Silver's group takes down Giovanni."

"We're counting on you, but remember–you'll be dealing with a very difficult opponent."

• Endings and Beginnings

"Good job, everyone. I'm just glad you all got back safely!"

"I suppose. But with this incident, Team Rocket has taken a fairly big blow."

"After trying so hard to take over Pasio and failing, they'll probably want to lie low for a while."

Main Story Villain Arc - Hoenn - Delta of Land, Sea, and Sky

• The Meteor's Passenger

"Natural energy is building deep in the ocean floor around Pasio."

"That may be one of the reasons why a lot of sync stones get dug up near there."

"Steven, do you mind sharing your thoughts with us?"

"Meteors, huh..."

"Oh, it's nothing, really... But the talk about meteors is reminding me of something."

"I know someone who's been researching astronomy, and according to them..."

"there may be a possibility of a huge meteor impacting this planet in the near future."

"It's only a possibility, so the chances of a catastrophic event are still low, but..."

"I heard that the meteor Zinnia saw was supposed to fall in the ocean quite a distance from Pasio."

"But the fact that the meteor fell in the ocean so close to Pasio has been bothering me..."

"It could be that similar things happened very close to each other, but..."

"Just in case, I will ask my contact more about meteors."

• Over the phone

"Steven, we're in trouble! It turns out what I was concerned about might really happen!"

"When I called my contact, they were so surprised!"

"They were just about to tell me about the meteor themselves!"

"From what they're saying, the trajectory of a giant meteor suddenly changed..."

"and it's nearly guaranteed to crash into Pasio!"

• The Terrifying Power of Nature

"Is that–!"

• In the Shadows of Pasio's Crisis

"That light must be..."

Main Story Villain Arc - Sinnoh - Dreaming in Darkness

• Team Galactic on the Move

"I see we're all here. Let's get started, then!"

"I received some intel that the International Police have now started their investigation on Pasio."

"According to their report, Team Rocket isn't the only group active on Pasio—Team Galactic is now on the move, too!"

• The Darkest Nightmare

"Hey, everyone! I just received more intel from the International Police!"

"They've found Team Galactic's hideout!"

"And I hear Barry is also on his way there, too!"

• The Nightmare Spreads

"Darkrai?!"

• Galactic Alliance

"Urgh..."

"I'm suddenly feeling...a little...sleepy..."

"Sorry... Can't...stay awake..."

"I know...you can do it... I...believe..."

"... ... ..."

• A Mission to Complete

"Merci! Everyone on Pasio is awake now, thanks to you!"

"Seems we should keep an eye on him, just in case."

"That said, you all did a marvelous job!"

Main Story Villain Arc - Galar - A Millennium into the Future

• As Quickly as Possible

"We heard you wanted to discuss sync stones..."

"Chairman Rose."

"Using sync stones to develop energy is a wonderful idea."

"However, sync stones have value beyond being a good source of energy."

"We don't want to limit the use of sync stones to a single purpose."

"We wouldn't want to abandon sync stones' boundless potential by limiting our research to simply energy production."

"There are also still many mysteries surrounding sync stones. Thus, they can be unstable at times."

"I want to spend time examining the utility and dangers of sync stones from multiple angles."

"As someone responsible for sync stone research, I cannot compromise on this."

• Whispering Shadows

"Force?"

"Even if Chairman Rose does try something, I don't think he'll be able to do anything impactful."

"He's only just come to Pasio, so I don't think he has the unique facilities he'd need for his research..."

"Above all, I've been managing my sync stone research data with extra care, since Giovanni has been coming after it."

Main Story Villain Arc - Final Chapter - Where Ideals Cross Paths

• The Adult Way
• Off-screen

"Tina! <player>! We have a problem!"

• After appearing

"Team Break just started a large-scale battle with Team Rocket!"

"I think Paulo's goal is to find Giovanni and—"

Main Story - Mysterious Stones Chapter

• What Rei Found

"So, I analyzed the stone you gave me."

"Although it has properties similar to sync stones, it's something different."

"Sync stones can release energy by reacting to a strong bond between a Trainer and a Pokémon."

"The stone Rei found has similar properties..."

"But it cannot release energy like sync stones do."

"Oui, I may need to research a little further."

"That's why I'd like you all to find more stones like this one."

"Bingo!"

"If you can, please also let me know where you find the stones."

"I'm keen to know why we're suddenly discovering them."

• Similarities to Sync Stones

"Oh, Nemona?"

"Really?! Where did you find them?"

"Oh? In town?"

"As I thought—they don't seem to be ordinary ores."

"I have a question for the two of you, as you're both from Paldea."

"Are these stones similar to Tera Jewels?"

"OK, understood. Thank you, both!"

"If you find them again, let me know!"

"Oui! As we thought, they're similar to sync stones, but have key differences."

"Oh, sorry! Of course!"

"As a sync stone researcher, I can give a brief explanation."

"Sync stones are mysterious rainbow-colored minerals that are mined from deposits in the seabed around Pasio."

"That's the reason why Lear decided to create an artificial island here."

"Lumps of sync stones can be found deep underground..."

"but countless pieces rise to the ocean's surface due to natural causes, such as plate tectonics and the movement of celestial bodies."

"At night, the pieces floating on the ocean make it look like a starlit sky—it's very romantic!"

"As you know, sync stones are pretty, but they also contain powerful energy."

"They release that energy in reaction to the bond between a Pokémon and its Trainer...and they can cause chaos if they're used the wrong way."

"However, sync stones cannot release energy unless they've been specially processed."

"That's why they're embedded in everyone's Poryphone."

"Handling a sync stone in its raw state is not dangerous. However..."

"Exactly..."

"(Something that happened recently...)"

"(Giovanni tried to take over Pasio, and a space-time rift appeared...)"

"(Are those incidents somehow related?)"

• A Voice Calling Out to Rei

"Hmm... I see..."

"Exactly... Like the Ultra Wormholes and the space-time rift..."

"we've encountered multiple instances of our world being connected to a different world or period of time."

"I believe that these phenomena may have made it easier for debris from other world to enter ours."

"But this is just my assumption...and I have no proof."

"Yes, that could also be the case."

• Off-screen

"For the time being, the stones are found..."

"mostly by sync pairs who're skilled in battling."

• On-screen

"Another theory is, we've been seeing people from Hisui appear here..."

"The fact that they've come here from the past might be a factor, as well."

• The Creator of All Things

"True..."

"So far, the stones have been found by sync pairs who're skilled in battling..."

"It's as though the stones are seeking out strong sync pairs..."

"Perhaps someone or something is conspiring to make strong sync pairs find the stones."

"One hypothesis is that it might be Arceus's doing."

"What? You did?"

"(These kids are definitely not as strong as the other Trainers who found the stones before.)"

"(I thought the stones were seeking strength... Was my hypothesis wrong?)"

• Show Me Thy Bond

"At the very least, my experiments managed to successfully confirm that the energy of these stones is drawn out by the power of one's heart."

"However, unlike sync stones, these ones are not so easily handled..."

"When the time comes to present my research, I'd like a sync pair with a powerful bond to lend me a hand in a demonstration."

"Would you mind participating in the demo, <player>?"

"Hello everyone! Thank you for coming!"

"Today, I'll be presenting my research on the mysterious stones discovered on Pasio!"

"To start, the official name of these stones has been decided."

"They will be called..."sync stones ultimate"!"

"I chose this name is because there's a high probability these stones contain more power than ordinary sync stones."^[sic]

• Off-screen

"Much like sync stones, these stones react to the bond between people and Pokémon, emitting radiant energy."

"But at the moment, extracting 100% of the power contained in these stones proves challenging, even with the best sync pairs."

"It's also very difficult to embed the stones into Poryphones, and it may take a little longer for everyone to be able to use them."

• On-screen

"Nevertheless, these stones hold new possibilities that may strengthen the power and bonds of sync pairs."

"So allow us to showcase a snippet of the current findings from our research!"

"I'll now turn the presentation over to <player> and Pikachu!"

Talk to Pikachu./Take a deep breath.: "... ... ..."

• Long-Held Ambitions on the Move

"I see..."

"It seems nearly everyone in this arena heard the same voice we did."

"Um... You are...?"

Training Area - Special Training: Battle Techniques

• Reach Past Your Limits!
• Before battle

"Velkommen! Show us what you're capable of! Prove your strength against this tough young man!"

• After defeating Ace Trainer Maddox

"Fantástico! You've truly proven your strength today—and my hypothesis as well!"

"Congratulations. May you and your Pokémon continue to grow and unlock even greater potential as a sync pair!"

• Get Stronger with Gear!
• Before battle

"Ah! I had a feeling you'd come and find me. Now then, step right up and show us all how strong you've become!"

• After defeating Ace Trainer Kimberly

"Très bien! You've certainly earned a prize for yourselves today. I would love for you to have this!"

"If you equip this, your team will be stronger than ever! Brilliant, don't you think?!"

"There's a whole range of gear out there with all sorts of different perks. Try searching for some the next time you go exploring!"

Special Event - Blasting Off Again

• Team Rocket On the Move!

"Good news, <player>! I hear there's going to be a fireworks festival here on Pasio!"

"The theme of the festival is, "Strengthening the bonds of sync pairs!""

"Apparently this theme was chosen as a way of showing respect for similar fireworks festivals in other parts of the world."

Story Event - Baking Buddies

• Pal Collaboration!

"Subarashii! How wonderful! Welcome, welcome!"

"Mais bien sûr! But of course! Palentine's Day is a day to enjoy together with friends!"

"I have everything you would ever need to make sweets here. Have at it!"

"Are you two OK? You aren't hurt, are you?"

"Don't worry about breaking any of my tools. I can always fix them! Just think of this as an eksperimenteer!"

"I'll clean up here. You all run along and find your friend!"

Daily Battle - The Golden Magikarp

• The Egg Swap

"What a predicament! Can you help me with something, <player>?"

"The Magikarp Eggs that I had collected for research have all gone missing!"

"It looks like Hoopa played a prank by swapping them out with the Eggs I give out to Pasio's Trainers!"

"If you find any sync pairs that have Eggs, could you tell them what happened and bring them back to me?"

"I imagine you might end up having to battle those Trainers..."

"but I'll let you keep some of the Magikarp Eggs you retrieve as a reward for helping me out!"

"I know Magikarp isn't a strong Pokémon..."

"but I was going to use those Eggs to study Shiny Pokémon."

"There's a chance that when they hatch, you might get a golden surprise!"

"Ayúdame, por favor!"

Sure!: "Really? Merci, <player>!"

For a golden one? Of course!: "*chuckle* I understand that feeling well! I can't wait to get a closer look at a golden Magikarp, too!"

"*sigh* I wonder if they're OK..."

"I just hope they haven't already evolved into raging Gyarados..."

Story Event - Travelers from a Distant Past

• A Rift in the Sky

"There was a report of a strange phenomenon in the sky last night, above the forest on Pasio's outskirts. Is that what you're referring to?"

"From what I've heard, people are seeing what appears to be a rift in the sky."

• Pokémon Are Dangerous?
• Off-screen

"So the rest of you came, too!"

• After appearing

"Are those two the ones everyone's been talking about?"

"Yes, but I have some bad news."

"Strange phenomena, including this rift, have been occurring across Pasio..."

"And it seems a lot of wild Pokémon are suddenly appearing where these phenomena are occurring."

"No, I'm afraid the ones on Pasio..."

"aren't showing signs of disappearing. In fact, they're getting bigger."

"Hello? Bellis speaking."

"What?!"

"Thanks. We'll be careful."

"Wild Pokémon attacked someone who entered a distortion's vicinity."

"There are a lot of non-Trainer civilians on Pasio. That must be why..."

• People and Pokémon

"Occasionally, yes. But on a smaller scale."

"*chuckle* I can tell it's going to get lively here."

A Lively Trio!

• A Paldean Nice to Meet You

"Nemona is helping me research Pokémon from the Paldea region, right here in my lab."

"So we've been hatching a lot of Eggs, but..."

"We'd like your help, <player>."

"And of course, if you hatch any Pokémon you particularly like, you can partner up with them!"

Sure, I can help!: "Aha! I see you're interested in Pokémon from Paldea, too, <player>!"

Pokémon Center

• After completing Chapter 1 for the first time (prior to version 1.9.0)

"Konnichiwa! Bonjour! Pleasure to meet you. I'm Professor Bellis."

"I'm doing research on sync pairs here on Pasio."

"You must be <player>, right?"

"Aha! Brock and Misty mentioned that they'd teamed up with a promising young Trainer. That hat of yours fits their description."

"So, how are you liking the team battling style of the island so far?"

It's really fun!: "Eccellente! I hope you continue to have a great time here!"

Still in the trial-and-error stage!: "Don't worry! You'll get the hang of it, mi amigo/amiga. I can tell you're passionate about growing stronger. That passion is key!"

"We already know that sync pairs have incredible potential, and there's still so much we've yet to discover!"
