===Quotes===
;'''{{al|Pokémon League}}'''
* Upon entering her chamber
:''"So, here you are... Why don't we see who the winds favor today, you...or me?"''

;First battle
* Before battle
:''"My name is Kahili. A few years ago, I was a champion of the island challenge, too. Just like you. I've been traveling the world to improve my skill as both a Trainer and as a golfer. When I heard that they'd made a Pokémon League in my own home region, I came flying back to serve Alola. Have a look at my fantastic Flying-type team!"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"It's frustrating to me as a member of the Elite Four, but it seems your strength is the real deal."''

* After being defeated
:''"You know...I think you'll bring a breath of fresh air to the Alola battle scene. I was honestly annoyed when {{prof|Kukui}} kept pestering me to come here, but I'm glad I did."''

;Rematch battle
* Before battle
:''"So, you came to battle me again! If I beat you, the number one ranked Trainer in Alola, then I’ll be ready to take on the world! I’m coming for you, <player>!"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"This feeling of frustration that is swelling within me... I will use it to propel my growth!"''

* After being defeated
:''"That battle was worthy of being number one in Alola... Maybe even number one in the world! But next time, I’ll win. You’ll see!"''

* General afterword
:''(If chosen first) "There are three more members of the Elite Four. And every one of them is a top-class Trainer."''
:''(If chosen second) "There are two more members of the Elite Four... And I wouldn’t be surprised if you have a hard time deciding which one to take on next."''
:''(if chosen third) "There is just one member of the Elite Four left. I hope you enjoy the transcendent kind of battle you only find at the top of the Pokémon League!"''
:''(If chosen last) "Do you wonder what lies beyond the Elite Four? Go. See with your own eyes what awaits you."''

;Entering [[Hall of Fame]]
:''"Now we're all going to be [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|aiming for your seat]]. I hope you’re ready for some rivals."''

;[[Hano Grand Resort]]
:''"<Player>? What are you doing at my place?"''
:''"Oh, my dad owns the Hano Grand Resort, so... Anyway. You’re the [[Champion]] now, right? So are you out there training every day?"''
::'''Of course!''': ''"Just what I would expect of a Champion! That is very wise thinking. I'm a top-ranking player in the golf world, and that is because I still practice every day."''
::'''Uhhh...what?''': ''"You're the Champion, aren't you? I'm a top-ranking player in the golf world, and that is because I still practice every day!"''
:''"I think it's important to keep training every day, even if it's for just a bit. I’ll give you [[TM92|this]]. It should help you aim for even loftier goals!"''
:''"Many {{type|Flying}} Pokémon are fast, right? That's why I use {{m|Trick Room}} to up my handicap. It forces me to train in battles where the slower Pokémon get to move first. I should get going, though. I've got to get back to my daily training regimen. Ten more hours to go today."''
