'''Sonia''' (Japanese: '''ソニア''' ''Sonia'') is a character introduced in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

==In the games==
Sonia is the granddaughter and assistant of [[Professor Magnolia]]. She is also [[Leon]]'s childhood friend. Sonia and her partner Pokémon, {{p|Yamper}}, participated in the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] with Leon, but eventually dropped out. Sonia spends the duration of the game discovering what she wants to do with her life, eventually choosing to pursue the truth behind the legends of the first king of [[Galar]] and the [[Darkest Day]]. Together with the {{player}} and [[Hop]], she discovers the existence of {{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, and {{p|Eternatus}}; and publishes her findings in [[Sonia's Book|a book]], a feat that helps her be recognized as a {{pkmn|Professor}} just like her grandmother.

;[[Wedgehurst]]
* Pokémon Lab
:''"What is it today, [[Leon]]? Looking for info on another never-before-seen, superstrong Pokémon? I wish you’d stop with these outlandish requests."
:''"Tsk. What kind of an introduction is that? Did you forget we were rivals during our Gym Challenge? It wasn’t just {{p|Yamper}} helping you out. I did, too."
:''"Anyway, nice to meet you! Name's Sonia. I’m the professor's assistant."
:''"*sigh* What does he think I am? He’s always got his head in the clouds. It’s no wonder he gets lost all the time."
:''"Oh. Looks like you’ve got a [[Rotom Phone]]. Hey there, Rotom!"
:''"Rotom Phones are handy little things, aren’t they? They’ve got a map and a navigation tool. That said, Leon still gets lost, so…"
:''"Oh, sorry. So tell me, do you know a lot about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}?"
::'''You bet!''' :''"Well said! In that case, I’ll make it so that you can use the [[Pokédex]] on your Rotom Phone!"
::'''Not really...''' : ''"Don’t worry! Here, I’ll make it so that you can use the Pokédex on your Rotom Phone!"
:''"Just so you know, that Pokédex is a gift from my gran! Could you let Gran know that you received the Pokédex? She lives in the house down along {{rt|2|Galar}}."
::'''If talked to again''': ''"Leon’s a right amazing {{pkmn|Champion}}, and I’m basically just an assistant... I’m not even Gran’s official assistant, either. I’ve just been calling myself one... Somehow, it makes me feel a little restless."

;{{rt|2|Galar}}
* Outside Magnolia's House
:''"Seems I came back home right in time for all the excitement!"
:''"Hey, you lot, why not have some dinner. You must be hungry, right? I’ve been totally obsessed with making the latest trendy curries."

* Magnolia's House
:''"Hop, is it true you really met some Pokémon you didn’t recognize? Is there anything more you can tell me about it?"
:''"A right fount of information you are."
::'''If talked to again''' :''"A strange Pokémon in the [[Slumbering Weald]]... I don’t know... I’ve got an uneasy feeling for some reason..."

;[[Meetup Spot]]
:''"My gran gave me a proper earful, in her own way… “Those two young Trainers are setting out on a journey, but what are you doing with your life?”"
::'''Regardless of choice''': ''"Ah…Never you mind that! Nothing to worry yourselves over! Besides, I’d been quite curious about that Pokémon you two met in the forest. I’d been thinking I should look into it, so the timing works out fine!"
:''"If I discover something really huge, then maybe even Gran’ll admit I’ve got some talent!"
:''"I said you needn’t worry about it! I’m glad to be on the road. Really! It’s been ages. It’ll be great to fish and camp and rough it outside again."
:''"What cheek! [[Dynamax]] Pokémon are really on another level, you know! You’d better Dynamax your partner Pokémon, too, if you want to take on opponents that strong!"
:''"You’ll find spots here and there in the [[Wild Area]] that emit a red beam of light. If you think you’re up to it, check them out. There’ll be Dynamax Pokémon lurking inside! So with that, how about I send you off with a little treat from me?"
:''"With a Pokémon Box Link, you’ll be able to put Pokémon from your team into your Boxes or take Pokémon from your Boxes to add them to your team. Nice, right? So go wild catching as many Pokémon as you like, and fill in some more of your Pokédex!"
:''"The Wild Area is waiting for you! This is the start of your real adventure!"

;[[Motostoke]]
* Outside Pokémon Center
:''"Hey! Over here!"
:''"Real ace of you to make it through the Wild Area! Seems like your trek ran your Pokémon ragged, though. You should pop into the Pokémon Center."
:''"Besides, there’s something I bet you’ll get a kick out of...if you’re a real Trainer and all."

* Pokémon Center
:''"Oh, looks like the Rotomi’s free."
:''"Rotomi are a kind of Rotom Information service. It’s a handy machine for Trainers. You can even use one to customize your League Card!"
:''"Why don’t you try playing around with your League Card a bit, <player>? Here’s a sample for you!"
:''"But Motostoke sure is big, right? Not to worry! Sonia is here to show you around a bit! Come find me after you heal up your Pokémon!"
:''"The opening ceremony, huh... I get a bit worked up when I think how exciting and moving it was to actually stand on a stadium’s pitch for the first time!"

* Outside
:''"So, brilliant young Trainer who’s braved the Wild Area! Do you remember what your goal in Motostoke is?"
::'''I’m here for the Gym Challenge!''': ''"Yup! The Gym Challenge opening ceremony."
::'''Uhhh...''': ''"What? You seriously forgot about the Gym Challenge opening ceremony?"
:''"By the way, the ceremony tomorrow is being held at the [[Motostoke Stadium]], OK?"
:''"Use that lift over there to get to the stadium, ‘K?"
:''"Well, laters! I’m going to swing by the shops while I’m here, but don’t forget to register at the stadium, ‘K?"

* Boutique
:''"My gran told me I needed to go on a journey, but a girl needs a bit of joy in her life, too! Are you to here to do some shopping as well? Don’t forget to register at the stadium!"

* Budew Drop Inn
:''"Hiya! Looks like you both got yourselves registered."
:''"It’s a statue of the hero who once saved the [[Galar]] region. I could run through the legend right quick, if you fancy?"
::'''The short version, if you please!''': ''"Long ago...a great black storm covered the Galar region. People called it “the [[Darkest Day]].” The land was assaulted by gigantic Pokémon...but they were defeated by a single young hero bearing a sword and shield. The statue here is meant to depict the young hero of that legend."
::'''Give me all the details!''': ''"Long ago...a great black storm covered the Galar region. People called it “the Darkest Day.” The land was assaulted by gigantic Pokémon...but they were defeated by a single young hero bearing a sword and shield. The statue here is meant to depict the young hero of that legend. We still don’t understand what kind of sword and shield the hero actually had. And what this “black storm” is supposed to be is just another mystery... Whatever it was, it blotted out the skies all across Galar. I suppose that tracks with it being called the Darkest Day, but still..."
:'''You’ll be all right, Sonia!''' :''"Heh, thanks! I’ll muddle through somehow—don’t you worry!"
:'''Will you be all right, Sonia?''' :''"Course I will. I’ll muddle through somehow—don’t you worry!"
:''"You two are staying here at the hotel tonight, though, aren’t you? Shouldn’t you check in?"
::'''If talked to again''': ''"Thanks for always taggin’ along with [[Hop]]. I hope you can keep it up. Leon really worries about him, too. He practically raised him, after all."

;{{rt|3|Galar}}
:''"Heya, Gym Challenger! You looked real ace out there during the opening ceremony!"''
:''"Oh, but where’s Hop?"''
::'''He went on ahead''': ''"He can’t sit still at all, can he? Guess he really wants to catch up to his brother."''
::'''He went a different way''' :''"Well, you’re rivals, after all. I guess it makes sense you’d train on your own."
:''"Oh, I know! Let me tell you about something a bit interesting."
:''"You see that building over there? It’s a company owned by [[Chairman Rose]]."''
:''"Just past Route 3, there’s a mine where they dig up ore. That building over there processes it into energy."''
:''"In other words, the chairman is responsible for providing the Galar region with its energy, too."
:''"Can’t say I really get him, but the chairman seems like a pretty brilliant guy, right?"
:''"Here, a little something for having a chin-wag with me! It’s an [[Escape Rope]]."
:''"I’ll heal up your Pokémon, too!"''
:''"The way to [[Turffield]] is pretty long, but that’s a kind of challenge in its own right. Good luck, Gym Challenger!"''

;[[Turffield]]
:''"Thanks, Yamper!"
:''"I had you come ’cause I wanted to hear what you thought."
:''"So, that geoglyph... What do you think of it?"
::'''The Darkest Day?''' :''"Right perceptive of you. Especially since the portion depicting the black storm has mostly disappeared."
::'''Dynamax?''' :''"Seems likely... It certainly looks like a gigantic Pokémon. I suppose people three thousand years ago could’ve just imagined this, but it looks too similar to Dynamax. It can’t just be coincidence."
:''"A long time ago...a great black storm covered the Galar region. Giant Pokémon ran rampant... But what was that black storm they called “the Darkest Day”? What connection does it have to Dynamax?"
:''"Guess I’m the lucky lady who’ll be looking into that... Gran sure gives me a lot to do."
:''"Thanks for your thoughts on the matter! As thanks, I’ll give you a League Card."
:''"[[Milo]]’s a {{type|Grass}} [[Gym Leader]]. Things will go well for you if you use {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, or {{type|Bug}} moves. Take these, too! It’d be pretty bad if your Pokémon weren’t in fighting form!"
:''"Go on, then! Get yourself to Turffield Stadium and battle yourself silly!"

;[[Hulbury]]
* Captain's Table
:''"Oh, were you invited, too?"
:''"*sigh* She was saying that here’s still so much we don’t know about Dynamaxing. It’s causing her some worry. She even made me take a Power Spot Detector with me when I started traveling..."
:''"*sigh* Does he think he’s doing me a favor? He’s right that the vault would be a good place to look for info on the legends, but..."
:''"You got the {{badge|Water}}, yeah? Defeating Nessa’s no small feat. Here’s a TM as a reward!"
:''"[[Nessa]]’s a good friend. Perhaps I should drop in on her. Until net time, Gym Challenger!"

;[[Hammerlocke]]
* Vault
:''"Oh, you’re here."
:''"Brilliant, aren’t they? It’s great that there are still treasured tapestries that can tell us of Galar’s history."
:''"The two youths watching a [[Wishing Star]]."
:''"A disaster occurs... The two bewildered youths."
:''"The youths looking on at the sword and shield that stop the disaster."
:''"The youths being crowned."
:''"These tapestries tell the story of the creation of a kingdom in Galar."
:''"Say, young Gym Challenger, what sticks out to you the most about them?"
::'''There’s two heroes?''': ''"Band on! The statue at the hotel in [[Motostoke]] only had one hero, no matter how you slice it. But here, we clearly have two youths."
::'''The Darkest Day?''': ''"Right? That’s got to be it. The story of the black storm that blotted out the skies was passed on through the years as a tale of disaster… That’s what the Darkest Day is!"
:''"Was there really only one hero, or were there two? And what even caused the Darkest Day?"
:''"Thanks for letting me bounce some ideas off you. I think I’ve got some theories now. I’m going to research the tapestries a tad more, but you have your Gym Challenge, right? I’m cheering for you, so take a couple of these. I hope to see more of your wins!"
::'''If talked to again''' :''"Whatever happened to the sword and shield that drove off the disaster?"

;[[Stow-on-Side]]
* After defeating the Gym
:''"Looks like my Yamper really likes you, huh? Anyway, we’ve run into each other at a good time. You know the mural here in Stow-on-Side? It’s said to tell the story of the hero of Galar as well. Though what’s there today is actually a replica of the ancient art that used to be here..."
:''"You tend to have surprisingly sharp insight, so I was wondering what you might think when you see the ruins."
:''"Wha...? What in the world was that? Sounds like it came from the direction of the ruins, too..."
:''"Let’s have a look! Come along, Yamper!"
:''"What’s going on up there?!"
:''"You know, during one of [[Bede]]’s matches, I heard the announcer say that [[Bede]] has no family. Apparently it was Rose who took Bede under his wing, and so Bede was battling for the chairman’s sake."
:''"What an awful turn of events… I hope the mural survived all that."
:''"Not a brilliant turn of events, but the ruins were brought into the light for us to see..."
:''"What does this tell us about Galar’s legends?"
::'''Pokémon?/A sword and shield?''' :''"Right! More than any hero, there’s those things that appear to be Pokémon that stand out! Not just that, but those Pokémon appear to be holding a sword and a shield as if they were using them!"
:''"Anything else look interesting to you?"
::'''The hero...was actually two people?/The same as the tapestries?''' :''"Oh, good observation! There really were two heroes. But if that’s the case, then why only the one statue at the Budew Drop Inn?"
:''"More than any statue of a hero or old tapestry, these ruins made in truly ancient times must show us the real truth."
:''"Which means..."
::'''Regardless of choice''': ''"Yup! I was thinking the same thing! Seems like at some point in history the sword and shield were combined with the two actual Pokémon and treated as the same thing... But then what? They just faded from history?"
:''"Two young heroes... The sword and shield were actually Pokémon... But why would the truth of these ruins be hidden when their stories were depicted in artwork?"
:''"With your help, I really feel like we made a big discovery here. Thanks! I’ll give you a couple of these, so you keep giving it your best in the Gym Challenge, too, OK? Guess you’ll be headed to [[Ballonlea]] next, right?"
:'''If talked to again''' :''"So... There was history being covered up by all that over-stylized artwork... I’m gonna have to look into this some more."

;[[Hammerlocke]]
* After defeating [[Opal]]
:''"Heya! The Badge collecting going well?"
:''"I’ve been doing some research on the ruins in Stow-on-Side... The sword and shield... What kind of Pokémon were they? And where are they now? I still have so many questions, I was thinking about taking another look at the tapestries in—"
:''"Are you kidding me?!"
:''"What was that?!"
:''"Hammerlocke Stadium shook..."
:''"That’s where Chairman Rose’s power plant is, isn’t it?"
:''"Huh? A Power Spot?!"
::'''What’s wrong?''' :''"I’m getting readings from the Power Spot Detector… Does that mean Dynamaxing is possible here?"
::'''You mean, like where you can Dynamax?''' :''"That’s right! The Power Spot Detector reacts when it’s possible to Dynamax!"
:''"This is bad! Pokémon might start Dynamaxing right in the middle of Hammerlocke!"
:''"You’ll just get lost, Leon. I’m going, too!"
:''"I’m really looking forward to seeing you compete in the Finals. So you should leave the investigation on the quaking to the adults. Head to Circhester and get that Gym Badge!"

;[[Circhester]]
* After defeating the Gym
:''"That battle was brilliant! That Gym Leader was tough, but you had no trouble."
:''"Circhester has some really great restaurants."
:''"I got some things I want to talk to you about, so let’s head to a restaurant to celebrate your win! The name of the restaurant is Bob's Your Uncle!"

* Bob's Your Uncle
:''"Oh, hey! There you are."
:''"I’ve been trying to find out more about the Darkest Day and the sword and shield [[Pokémon]], but still no luck..."
:''"Wait! Hold on!"
:''"No way! What’s this?!"
::'''A new chapter in the old Galar legends?/A fifth tapestry!''' :''"The heroes look sad... And where are the sword and shield?"
::'''An absolutely fantastic poster!''' :''"Exactly! Bob, with his brilliant smile, must be part of the legend! Wait, what are you on about?! Don’t confuse me! The heroes look sad... And where are the sword and shield?"
:''"What was the meaning of this picture?"
::'''An end to the legend?''' :''"Hmm... Perhaps when their duty was completed, they went into some kind of sleep?"
::'''Some kind of seal?''' :''"You think so? I guess it could be that they were sealed away. Or maybe they’ve gone into some kind of sleep?"
:''"That’s right! That’s my take on it, at least."
:''"You...met them?"
:''"Oh, that’s right! You lot have been in the Slumbering Weald."
:''"I only started on this journey because my gran told me to, but this is turning out to be too much fun! You’ve got to tell me more. How about we discuss this over a meal? Go on, what do you want to eat? Let’s get our orders in!"
:''"Fascinating... All right, the next thing to do now that we’re done eating is to have a look around Circhester! Let’s inspect the Hero’s Bath!"

* Hero's Bath
:''"The Hero’s Bath... They say this is where the two heroes came to sooth their wounds after the battle to bring down that evil presence, long ago."
:''"Nowadays only Pokémon really use the Hero’s Bath, though... Hmm... Who exactly were the heroes that bathed here? I think I’ll have to look into that."
:''"You two met a mysterious Pokémon back in the Slumbering Weald... Perhaps...you two can become new heroes."
:''"What kind of battle do you think the heroes had back then?"
::'''After agreeing to battle Hop''' :''"I don’t entirely understand your reasoning, but I might just as well see what you can do. I’ll heal up your Pokémon for you, <player>, so give it your best!"

* After Battle
:''"Thanks! You two gave a right proper battle... At the rate you both are going, even the unbeatable Leon may be in trouble! So what’s next, you two? I plan to look into things in the Slumbering Weald."
:''"Seems like he finally shook off that gloom. Leon’d worry if Hop wasn’t feeling all right. As his rival, you wouldn’t like it either, right? See ya."

;[[Hammerlocke]]
* After defeating [[Piers]]
:''"Well, if it isn’t <player>."
:''"I’d expect nothing less from you and your ((p|Charizard}}, Leon! You took down that Dynamax Pokémon in no time at all!"
:''"An overflowing red light... Pokémon Dynamaxing without a Power Spot?"
:''"I’m not sure... What’s going on? That red light could suddenly appear again at any time and we’d have no way of knowing."
:''"Gran?!"
:''"Are you saying that red light and the Darkest Day are connected?!"
:''"Gran, there’s something I want to look into. You’ll help me, right?"

* After defeating [[Raihan]]
:''"Hey there, <player>! You gave Raihan a good thrashing, and that means you’ve completed the Gym Challenge! Congratulations, from the bottom of my heart!"
:''"I really wish we could go celebrate, but I think there’s some things we should talk over."
:''"That light that covered Hammerlocke... It was just like the Darkest Day, where it’s said that giant Pokémon went on a rampage and almost destroyed the entire Galar region."
:''"The legendary sword and shield..."
:''"Are you sure, Gran? I still haven’t finished the work you’ve assigned me."
:'''Regardless of choice''': ''"Y-yeah!"
:''"I know, Gran!"
:''"I’ll do what I can! You or Hop could be the one to take down Leon, and I don’t want to miss that! Not to worry—you can count on me to take care of everything! You just focus on getting to Wyndon. Go on! Head to the station, or you’ll miss your train!"
::'''If talked to again''': ''"The station’s near {{rt|7|Galar}}, remember? Now, off with you Gym Challenger!"

;[[Postwick]]
* After Rose interrupts the Championship Match
:''"Huh? <player> and Hop? Ah! I completely forgot about the Championship Match! What’re you two doing here?"
:''"Huh? What?! What happened while I was researching things in the Slumbering Weald?"
:''"Hold on a tick, ma’am. Did you say “the Darkest Day”?
:''"“The Darkest Day” is the name for the black storm that nearly brought the Galar region to ruin in ancient times..."
:''"So what’re you here for, <player>?
::'''I’m here to stop the Darkest Day!''' :''"To stop the Darkest Day... You mean you’re going to search for the sword and shield Pokémon?"
::'''To search for the sword/shield Pokémon''' :''"I suppose if the legends are true, then the sword and shield Pokémon should be able to prevent the Darkest Day from coming to pass... They may be just what we need to beat back the black storm!"
:''"OK! Here, take this. You should head to the Slumbering Weald. I’ll catch up with you once I’m done looking into something that’s been bothering me."
::'''If talked to again''' :''"I’ve got to keep looking into the origin of the sword and shield Pokémon!"

;[[Slumbering Weald]]
* After encountering the Legendary Pokémon
:''"You two... What in the world are you doing?"
:''"Hop, you sure you haven’t lost the plot? There was no one here but the two of you..."
:''"Listen! I dug into some literature from other regions, and I finally found something! Mentions of the sword Pokémon, {{p|Zacian}}, and the shield Pokémon, called {{p|Zamazenta}}. The writings said that those two Pokémon were born somewhere beyond the Slumbering Weald sometime long, long ago."
::'''If talked to again''' :''"Zacian and Zamazenta... They may have been sleeping in the Slumbering Weald right next to your hometown all this time. Perhaps that’s why no one has entered the deepest parts of these woods for so long..."

* After defeating Leon
:''"And if it isn’t the two of you again. I was wondering what all the noise was about."
:''"<player>! Congratulations on beating Leon!"
::'''Thank you''' :''"Taking it all in stride like it’s your due, eh? You cheeky thing!"
::'''It was nothing...''' :''"Oh, trying to act modest, are you? Go on—you’ve earned the right to be proud!"
:''"Hop, I’m actually not working as my gran’s assistant any longer..."
:''"In fact... I’m the professor now!"
:''"And really, I’ve got the two of you to thank for that."
:''"I was just along for the ride on your adventure, but I ended up taking a real interest in the history of the Galar region."
:''"And I came to care for Pokémon even more than I ever had before!"
:''"Ah, here! It’s a [[Sonia's Book|book]] I wrote! I even signed it—that makes it a collector’s item."
:''"Aww, thanks, Hop! That’s so sweet. I’ll sign your copy for you later." :''"Anyway, I’ve got my gran’s blessing and put out my first book under my own name... I think you can expect great things of the lovely Professor Sonia in the future, wouldn’t you say?"
:''"So? What are you young’ns doing here?"
:''"Ohhh... That’s it, isn’t it? You were putting the [[Rusted Sword]] and the [[Rusted Shield]] back in their place?"
:''"Can’t just keep holding on to them forever, right?"
:''"You forgot entirely, didn’t you? What, you think the two of you are besties now with Zacian and Zamazenta or something?!"
::'''If talked to again''' :''"I don’t have the best memories of the Slumbering Weald, but I came to do a quick investigation. Hurry it up, and put the Rusted Sword and the Rusted Shield back where they belong! I’d like to get a photo of them on location."

* After returning the Rusted Sword{{sup/8|Sw}}/Rusted Shield{{sup/8|Sh}}
:''"I think I’ll stay a bit longer. I want to do a little more research here in the forest."
:''"Hm? My Power Spot Detector is going off..."
:''"Eh, ah, hello... You bought my book?"
:''"What?! There are no lies printed in that book!"
:''"What exactly are you two supposed to be?"

* After defeating [[Sordward]]{{sup/8|Sw}}/[[Shielbert]]{{sup/8|Sh}}
:''"What does that even mean...?"
:''"Mural? You mean the one that hid the historical ruins of Zacian and the others? And hold on a moment—<player> wasn’t the one who destroyed it."
:''"Hold on, Hop!"
:''"Ugh, that kid. He’s gone and recklessly run off..."
:''"At least you’re calm, <player>. I expected as much."
:''"I’m surprised that Hop lost to someone like that. He looked upset about something during the battle. Maybe that had something to do with it?"
:''"His own rival became the new Champion, and his goal vanished before his eyes... You can’t help but wonder how he feels about it all."
:''"Anyway! [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], was it? I think I might know something about where those two weirdos went..."
:''"Shall we go over it at the lab in Wedgehurst?"
::'''Of course''' :''"I bet I didn’t even need to ask! Thanks! OK, we’ll meet up later, then! I’ll head back to the lab."
::'''I’m worried about Hop''' :''"I get it... You feel responsible for him and want to help him as soon as you can, right? OK, we’ll meet up later, then! I’ll head back to the lab."

;[[Wedgehurst]]
* Pokémon Lab
:''"Hey, <player>! Glad you’re here.
::'''Who’s this?''' :''"She’s my assistant! I’ve been so busy with research lately that I’ve had to bring on some extra help."
::'''You got an assistant?''' :''"Spot on! I’ve been busy with my research, so I decided to bring on some extra help."
:''"I’ve been keeping all the Wishing Stars that Chairman Rose had been gathering here in the lab."
:''"Things have been a little hectic around here, but my assistant has been handling things in a proper fashion. She’s really been helping me keep things afloat."
:''"Come here for a moment, would you? There’s something I want you to have a look at."
:''"You remember my Power Spot Detector, right? It detects places where Dynamaxing is possible... Basically when there’s a high concentration of Galar particles, the readings spike..."
:''"And that’s how I figured it out!"
:''"The Power Spot Detector reacted when those two got close."
::'''Could it be...?''': ''"Exactly!"
::'''So what does that mean?''': ''"Basically..."
:''"follow the readings from the Power Spot Detector, and you might be able to find those sword and shield weirdos."
:''"Sordward and Shielbert might claim to be royalty, with their weird, fancy hairstyles. But it’s easier to just call them weirdos, don’t you think?"
:''"Let’s get back on topic, though!"
:''"I placed Power Spot Detectors all around Galar, and now it’s their time to shine."
:''"Power Spot Detectors—access!"
:''"Whoa, whoa! That’s a way bigger reaction than I would’ve thought! Looks like it’s coming from… Turffield Stadium?"
:''"You could always Dynamax Pokémon at the stadium, so that’s not exactly unusual. But these readings are way higher than normal!"
:''"It can’t be {{p|Eternatus}}... You already caught it. Maybe it’s something related to those sword and shield weirdos?"
:''"You should go check it out, <player>. Since you’re our snazzy new Champion and all!"
:''"I’ve set up your Town Map to show where the strong particle reactions are coming from, so have a look at it."
::'''If talked to again''' :''"I’ll leave looking into Turffield to you. I’ll stay here and try to look into those rude weirdos."

;[[Turffield]]
* After defeating the Dynamax Pokémon
:''"Ah, there you are, <player>! Things are a right proper mess!"

::'''Exaggerate what happened''' :''"What?! A Dynamax Pokémon completely destroyed the stadium? Wait... Turffield Stadium is still there."
:''"Huh? Those sword and shield weirdos did it?"
:''"Hm? Hop and...Piers?!"
:''"Piers, what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be back in Spikemuth?"
:''"Yes. I’m getting the same readings in other towns as I was from Turffield Stadium."
:''"Ah, but [[Spikemuth]] Gym should be OK, right? I’m only seeing readings from Hulbury Stadium and Motostoke Stadium."
:''"Leave those sword and shield weirdos to me."

:''"But why? What reason could they have for forcing Pokémon to Dynamax?"
:''"I’m curious about what my former assistant said about a royal lineage. Did she mean it literally?"

:''"I’m detecting huge reactions at four stadiums now!"
:''"Ah, [[Spikemuth]] seems to be OK. There’s no Power Spot stadium there..."

'''Sonia''' (Japanese: '''ソニア''' ''Sonia'') is a character introduced in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

==In the games==
Sonia is the granddaughter and assistant of [[Professor Magnolia]]. She is also [[Leon]]'s childhood friend. Sonia and her partner Pokémon, {{p|Yamper}}, participated in the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] with Leon, but eventually dropped out. Sonia spends the duration of the game discovering what she wants to do with her life, eventually choosing to pursue the truth behind the legends of the first king of [[Galar]] and the [[Darkest Day]]. Together with the {{player}} and [[Hop]], she discovers the existence of {{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, and {{p|Eternatus}}; and publishes her findings in [[Sonia's Book|a book]], a feat that helps her be recognized as a {{pkmn|Professor}} just like her grandmother.

====Quotes====
{{incomplete|section}}
;[[Wedgehurst]]
* Pokémon Lab
:''"What is it today, [[Leon]]? Looking for info on another never-before-seen, superstrong Pokémon? I wish you’d stop with these outlandish requests."
:''"Tsk. What kind of an introduction is that? Did you forget we were rivals during our Gym Challenge? It wasn’t just {{p|Yamper}} helping you out. I did, too."
:''"Anyway, nice to meet you! Name's Sonia. I’m the professor's assistant."
:''"*sigh* What does he think I am? He’s always got his head in the clouds. It’s no wonder he gets lost all the time."
:''"Oh. Looks like you’ve got a [[Rotom Phone]]. Hey there, Rotom!"
:''"Rotom Phones are handy little things, aren’t they? They’ve got a map and a navigation tool. That said, Leon still gets lost, so…"
:''"Oh, sorry. So tell me, do you know a lot about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}?"
::'''You bet!''' :''"Well said! In that case, I’ll make it so that you can use the [[Pokédex]] on your Rotom Phone!"
::'''Not really...''' : ''"Don’t worry! Here, I’ll make it so that you can use the Pokédex on your Rotom Phone!"
:''"Just so you know, that Pokédex is a gift from my gran! Could you let Gran know that you received the Pokédex? She lives in the house down along {{rt|2|Galar}}."
::'''If talked to again''': ''"Leon’s a right amazing {{pkmn|Champion}}, and I’m basically just an assistant... I’m not even Gran’s official assistant, either. I’ve just been calling myself one... Somehow, it makes me feel a little restless."

;{{rt|2|Galar}}
* Outside Magnolia's House
:''"Seems I came back home right in time for all the excitement!"
:''"Hey, you lot, why not have some dinner. You must be hungry, right? I’ve been totally obsessed with making the latest trendy curries."

* Magnolia's House
:''"Hop, is it true you really met some Pokémon you didn’t recognize? Is there anything more you can tell me about it?"
:''"A right fount of information you are."
::'''If talked to again''' :''"A strange Pokémon in the [[Slumbering Weald]]... I don’t know... I’ve got an uneasy feeling for some reason..."

;[[Meetup Spot]]
:''"My gran gave me a proper earful, in her own way… “Those two young Trainers are setting out on a journey, but what are you doing with your life?”"
::'''Regardless of choice''': ''"Ah…Never you mind that! Nothing to worry yourselves over! Besides, I’d been quite curious about that Pokémon you two met in the forest. I’d been thinking I should look into it, so the timing works out fine!"
:''"If I discover something really huge, then maybe even Gran’ll admit I’ve got some talent!"
:''"I said you needn’t worry about it! I’m glad to be on the road. Really! It’s been ages. It’ll be great to fish and camp and rough it outside again."
:''"What cheek! [[Dynamax]] Pokémon are really on another level, you know! You’d better Dynamax your partner Pokémon, too, if you want to take on opponents that strong!"
:''"You’ll find spots here and there in the [[Wild Area]] that emit a red beam of light. If you think you’re up to it, check them out. There’ll be Dynamax Pokémon lurking inside! So with that, how about I send you off with a little treat from me?"
:''"With a Pokémon Box Link, you’ll be able to put Pokémon from your team into your Boxes or take Pokémon from your Boxes to add them to your team. Nice, right? So go wild catching as many Pokémon as you like, and fill in some more of your Pokédex!"
:''"The Wild Area is waiting for you! This is the start of your real adventure!"

;[[Motostoke]]
* Outside Pokémon Center
:''"Hey! Over here!"
:''"Real ace of you to make it through the Wild Area! Seems like your trek ran your Pokémon ragged, though. You should pop into the Pokémon Center."
:''"Besides, there’s something I bet you’ll get a kick out of...if you’re a real Trainer and all."

* Pokémon Center
:''"Oh, looks like the Rotomi’s free."
:''"Rotomi are a kind of rotom Information service. It’s a handy machine for Trainers. You can even use one to customize your League Card!"
:''"Why don’t you try playing around with your League Card a bit, <player>? Here’s a sample for you!"
:''"But Motostoke sure is big, right? Not to worry! Sonia is here to show you around a bit! Come find me after you heal up your Pokémon!"
:''"The opening ceremony, huh... I get a bit worked up when I think how exciting and moving it was to actually stand on a stadium’s pitch for the first time!"

* Outside
:''"So, brilliant young Trainer who’s braved the Wild Area! Do you remember what your goal in Motostoke is?"
::'''I’m here for the Gym Challenge!''': ''"Yup! The Gym Challenge opening ceremony."
::'''Uhhh...''': ''"What? You seriously forgot about the Gym Challenge opening ceremony?"
:''"By the way, the ceremony tomorrow is being held at the [[Motostoke Stadium]], OK?"
:''"Use that lift over there to get to the stadium, ‘K?"
:''"Well, laters! I’m going to swing by the shops while I’m here, but don’t forget to register at the stadium, ‘K?"

* Boutique
:''"My gran told me I needed to go on a journey, but a girl needs a bit of joy in her life, too! Are you to here to do some shopping as well? Don’t forget to register at the stadium!"

* Budew Drop Inn
:''"Hiya! Looks like you both got yourselves registered."
:''"It’s a statue of the hero who once saved the [[Galar]] region. I could run through the legend right quick, if you fancy?"
::'''The short version, if you please!''': ''"Long ago...a great black storm covered the Galar region. People called it “the [[Darkest Day]].” The land was assaulted by gigantic Pokémon...but they were defeated by a single young hero bearing a sword and shield. The statue here is meant to depict the young hero of that legend."
::'''Give me all the details!''': ''"Long ago...a great black storm covered the Galar region. People called it “the Darkest Day.” The land was assaulted by gigantic Pokémon...but they were defeated by a single young hero bearing a sword and shield. The statue here is meant to depict the young hero of that legend. We still don’t understand what kind of sword and shield the hero actually had. And what this “black storm” is supposed to be is just another mystery... Whatever it was, it blotted out the skies all across Galar. I suppose that tracks with it being called the Darkest Day, but still..."
:'''You’ll be all right, Sonia!''' :''"Heh, thanks! I’ll muddle through somehow—don’t you worry!"
:'''Will you be all right, Sonia?''' :''"Course I will. I’ll muddle through somehow—don’t you worry!"
:''"You two are staying here at the hotel tonight, though, aren’t you? Shouldn’t you check in?"
::'''If talked to again''': ''"Thanks for always taggin’ along with [[Hop]]. I hope you can keep it up. Leon really worries about him, too. He practically raised him, after all."

;{{rt|3|Galar}}
:''"Heya, Gym Challenger! You looked real ace out there during the opening ceremony!"''
:''"Oh, but where’s Hop?"''
::'''He went on ahead''': ''"He can’t sit still at all, can he? Guess he really wants to catch up to his brother."''
::'''He went a different way''' :''"Well, you’re rivals, after all. I guess it makes sense you’d train on your own."
:''"Oh, I know! Let me tell you about something a bit interesting."
:''"You see that building over there? It’s a company owned by [[Chairman Rose]]."''
:''"Just past Route 3, there’s a mine where they dig up ore. That building over there processes it into energy."''
:''"In other words, the chairman is responsible for providing the Galar region with its energy, too."
:''"Can’t say I really get him, but the chairman seems like a pretty brilliant guy, right?"
:''"Here, a little something for having a chin-wag with me! It’s an [[Escape Rope]]."
:''"I’ll heal up your Pokémon, too!"''
:''"The way to [[Turffield]] is pretty long, but that’s a kind of challenge in its own right. Good luck, Gym Challenger!"''

;[[Turffield]]
:''"Thanks, Yamper!"
:''"I had you come ’cause I wanted to hear what you thought."
:''"So, that geoglyph... What do you think of it?"
::'''The Darkest Day?''' :''"Right perceptive of you. Especially since the portion depicting the black storm has mostly disappeared."
::'''Dynamax?''' :''"Seems likely... It certainly looks like a gigantic Pokémon. I suppose people three thousand years ago could’ve just imagined this, but it looks too similar to Dynamax. It can’t just be coincidence."
:''"A long time ago...a great black storm covered the Galar region. Giant Pokémon ran rampant... But what was that black storm they called “the Darkest Day”? What connection does it have to Dynamax?"
:''"Guess I’m the lucky lady who’ll be looking into that... Gran sure gives me a lot to do."
:''"Thanks for your thoughts on the matter! As thanks, I’ll give you a League Card."
:''"[[Milo]]’s a {{type|Grass}} [[Gym Leader]]. Things will go well for you if you use {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, or {{type|Bug}} moves. Take these, too! It’d be pretty bad if your Pokémon weren’t in fighting form!"
:''"Go on, then! Get yourself to Turffield Stadium and battle yourself silly!"

;[[Hulbury]]
* Captain's Table
:''"Oh, were you invited, too?"
:''"*sigh* She was saying that here’s still so much we don’t know about Dynamaxing. It’s causing her some worry. She even made me take a Power Spot Detector with me when I started traveling..."
:''"*sigh* Does he think he’s doing me a favor? He’s right that the vault would be a good place to look for info on the legends, but..."
:''"You got the {{badge|Water}}, yeah? Defeating Nessa’s no small feat. Here’s a TM as a reward!"
:''"[[Nessa]]’s a good friend. Perhaps I should drop in on her. Until net time, Gym Challenger!"

;[[Hammerlocke]]
* Vault
:''"Oh, you’re here."
:''"Brilliant, aren’t they? It’s great that there are still treasured tapestries that can tell us of Galar’s history."
:''"The two youths watching a [[Wishing Star]]."
:''"A disaster occurs... The two bewildered youths."
:''"The youths looking on at the sword and shield that stop the disaster."
:''"The youths being crowned."
:''"These tapestries tell the story of the creation of a kingdom in Galar."
:''"Say, young Gym Challenger, what sticks out to you the most about them?"
::'''There’s two heroes?''': ''"Band on! The statue at the hotel in [[Motostoke]] only had one hero, no matter how you slice it. But here, we clearly have two youths."
::'''The Darkest Day?''': ''"Right? That’s got to be it. The story of the black storm that blotted out the skies was passed on through the years as a tale of disaster… That’s what the Darkest Day is!"
:''"Was there really only one hero, or were there two? And what even caused the Darkest Day?"
:''"Thanks for letting me bounce some ideas off you. I think I’ve got some theories now. I’m going to research the tapestries a tad more, but you have your Gym Challenge, right? I’m cheering for you, so take a couple of these. I hope to see more of your wins!"
::'''If talked to again''' :''"Whatever happened to the sword and shield that drove off the disaster?"

;[[Stow-on-Side]]
* After defeating the Gym
:''"Looks like my Yamper really likes you, huh? Anyway, we’ve run into each other at a good time. You know the mural here in Stow-on-Side? It’s said to tell the story of the hero of Galar as well. Though what’s there today is actually a replica of the ancient art that used to be here..."
:''"You tend to have surprisingly sharp insight, so I was wondering what you might think when you see the ruins."
:''"Wha...? What in the world was that? Sounds like it came from the direction of the ruins, too..."
:''"Let’s have a look! Come along, Yamper!"
:''"What’s going on up there?!"
:''"You know, during one of [[Bede]]’s matches, I heard the announcer say that [[Bede]] has no family. Apparently it was Rose who took Bede under his wing, and so Bede was battling for the chairman’s sake."
:''"What an awful turn of events… I hope the mural survived all that."
:''"Not a brilliant turn of events, but the ruins were brought into the light for us to see..."
:''"What does this tell us about Galar’s legends?"
::'''Pokémon?/A sword and shield?''' :''"Right! More than any hero, there’s those things that appear to be Pokémon that stand out! Not just that, but those Pokémon appear to be holding a sword and a shield as if they were using them!"
:''"Anything else look interesting to you?"
::'''The hero...was actually two people?/The same as the tapestries?''' :''"Oh, good observation! There really were two heroes. But if that’s the case, then why only the one statue at the Budew Drop Inn?"
:''"More than any statue of a hero or old tapestry, these ruins made in truly ancient times must show us the real truth."
:''"Which means..."
::'''Regardless of choice''': ''"Yup! I was thinking the same thing! Seems like at some point in history the sword and shield were combined with the two actual Pokémon and treated as the same thing... But then what? They just faded from history?"
:''"Two young heroes... The sword and shield were actually Pokémon... But why would the truth of these ruins be hidden when their stories were depicted in artwork?"
:''"With your help, I really feel like we made a big discovery here. Thanks! I’ll give you a couple of these, so you keep giving it your best in the Gym Challenge, too, OK? Guess you’ll be headed to [[Ballonlea]] next, right?"
:'''If talked to again''' :''"So... There was history being covered up by all that over-stylized artwork... I’m gonna have to look into this some more."

;[[Hammerlocke]]
* After defeating [[Opal]]
:''"Heya! The Badge collecting going well?"
:''"I’ve been doing some research on the ruins in Stow-on-Side... The sword and shield... What kind of Pokémon were they? And where are they now? I still have so many questions, I was thinking about taking another look at the tapestries in—"
:''"Are you kidding me?!"
:''"What was that?!"
:''"Hammerlocke Stadium shook..."
:''"That’s where Chairman Rose’s power plant is, isn’t it?"
:''"Huh? A Power Spot?!"
::'''What’s wrong?''' :''"I’m getting readings from the Power Spot Detector… Does that mean Dynamaxing is possible here?"
::'''You mean, like where you can Dynamax?''' :''"That’s right! The Power Spot Detector reacts when it’s possible to Dynamax!"
:''"This is bad! Pokémon might start Dynamaxing right in the middle of Hammerlocke!"
:''"You’ll just get lost, Leon. I’m going, too!"
:''"I’m really looking forward to seeing you compete in the Finals. So you should leave the investigation on the quaking to the adults. Head to Circhester and get that Gym Badge!"

;[[Circhester]]
* After defeating the Gym
:''"That battle was brilliant! That Gym Leader was tough, but you had no trouble."
:''"Circhester has some really great restaurants."
:''"I got some things I want to talk to you about, so let’s head to a restaurant to celebrate your win! The name of the restaurant is Bob's Your Uncle!"

* Bob's Your Uncle
:''"Oh, hey! There you are."
:''"I’ve been trying to find out more about the Darkest Day and the sword and shield [[Pokémon]], but still no luck..."
:''"Wait! Hold on!"
:''"No way! What’s this?!"
::'''A new chapter in the old Galar legends?/A fifth tapestry!''' :''"The heroes look sad... And where are the sword and shield?"
::'''An absolutely fantastic poster!''' :''"Exactly! Bob, with his brilliant smile, must be part of the legend! Wait, what are you on about?! Don’t confuse me! The heroes look sad... And where are the sword and shield?"
:''"What was the meaning of this picture?"
::'''An end to the legend?''' :''"Hmm... Perhaps when their duty was completed, they went into some kind of sleep?"
::'''Some kind of seal?''' :''"You think so? I guess it could be that they were sealed away. Or maybe they’ve gone into some kind of sleep?"
:''"That’s right! That’s my take on it, at least."
:''"You...met them?"
:''"Oh, that’s right! You lot have been in the Slumbering Weald."
:''"I only started on this journey because my gran told me to, but this is turning out to be too much fun! You’ve got to tell me more. How about we discuss this over a meal? Go on, what do you want to eat? Let’s get our orders in!"
:''"Fascinating... All right, the next thing to do now that we’re done eating is to have a look around Circhester! Let’s inspect the Hero’s Bath!"

* Hero's Bath
:''"The Hero’s Bath... They say this is where the two heroes came to sooth their wounds after the battle to bring down that evil presence, long ago."
:''"Nowadays only Pokémon really use the Hero’s Bath, though... Hmm... Who exactly were the heroes that bathed here? I think I’ll have to look into that."
:''"You two met a mysterious Pokémon back in the Slumbering Weald... Perhaps...you two can become new heroes."
:''"What kind of battle do you think the heroes had back then?"
::'''After agreeing to battle Hop''' :''"I don’t entirely understand your reasoning, but I might just as well see what you can do. I’ll heal up your Pokémon for you, <player>, so give it your best!"

* After Battle
:''"Thanks! You two gave a right proper battle... At the rate you both are going, even the unbeatable Leon may be in trouble! So what’s next, you two? I plan to look into things in the Slumbering Weald."
:''"Seems like he finally shook off that gloom. Leon’d worry if Hop wasn’t feeling all right. As his rival, you wouldn’t like it either, right? See ya."

;[[Hammerlocke]]
* After defeating [[Piers]]
:''"Well, if it isn’t <player>."
:''"I’d expect nothing less from you and your ((p|Charizard}}, Leon! You took down that Dynamax Pokémon in no time at all!"
:''"An overflowing red light... Pokémon Dynamaxing without a Power Spot?"
:''"I’m not sure... What’s going on? That red light could suddenly appear again at any time and we’d have no way of knowing."
:''"Gran?!"
:''"Are you saying that red light and the Darkest Day are connected?!"
:''"Gran, there’s something I want to look into. You’ll help me, right?"

* After defeating [[Raihan]]
:''"Hey there, <player>! You gave Raihan a good thrashing, and that means you’ve completed the Gym Challenge! Congratulations, from the bottom of my heart!"
:''"I really wish we could go celebrate, but I think there’s some things we should talk over."
:''"That light that covered Hammerlocke... It was just like the Darkest Day, where it’s said that giant Pokémon went on a rampage and almost destroyed the entire Galar region."
:''"The legendary sword and shield..."
:''"Are you sure, Gran? I still haven’t finished the work you’ve assigned me."
:'''Regardless of choice''': ''"Y-yeah!"
:''"I know, Gran!"
:''"I’ll do what I can! You or Hop could be the one to take down Leon, and I don’t want to miss that! Not to worry—you can count on me to take care of everything! You just focus on getting to Wyndon. Go on! Head to the station, or you’ll miss your train!"
::'''If talked to again''': ''"The station’s near {{rt|7|Galar}}, remember? Now, off with you Gym Challenger!"

;[[Postwick]]
* After Rose interrupts the Championship Match
:''"Huh? <player> and Hop? Ah! I completely forgot about the Championship Match! What’re you two doing here?"
:''"Huh? What?! What happened while I was researching things in the Slumbering Weald?"
:''"Hold on a tick, ma’am. Did you say “the Darkest Day”?
:''"“The Darkest Day” is the name for the black storm that nearly brought the Galar region to ruin in ancient times..."
:''"So what’re you here for, <player>?
::'''I’m here to stop the Darkest Day!''' :''"To stop the Darkest Day... You mean you’re going to search for the sword and shield Pokémon?"
::'''To search for the sword/shield Pokémon''' :''"I suppose if the legends are true, then the sword and shield Pokémon should be able to prevent the Darkest Day from coming to pass... They may be just what we need to beat back the black storm!"
:''"OK! Here, take this. You should head to the Slumbering Weald. I’ll catch up with you once I’m done looking into something that’s been bothering me."
::'''If talked to again''' :''"I’ve got to keep looking into the origin of the sword and shield Pokémon!"

;[[Slumbering Weald]]
* After encountering the Legendary Pokémon
:''"You two... What in the world are you doing?"
:''"Hop, you sure you haven’t lost the plot? There was no one here but the two of you..."
:''"Listen! I dug into some literature from other regions, and I finally found something! Mentions of the sword Pokémon, {{p|Zacian}}, and the shield Pokémon, called {{p|Zamazenta}}. The writings said that those two Pokémon were born somewhere beyond the Slumbering Weald sometime long, long ago."
::'''If talked to again''' :''"Zacian and Zamazenta... They may have been sleeping in the Slumbering Weald right next to your hometown all this time. Perhaps that’s why no one has entered the deepest parts of these woods for so long..."

* After defeating Leon
:''"And if it isn’t the two of you again. I was wondering what all the noise was about."
:''"<player>! Congratulations on beating Leon!"
::'''Thank you''' :''"Taking it all in stride like it’s your due, eh? You cheeky thing!"
::'''It was nothing...''' :''"Oh, trying to act modest, are you? Go on—you’ve earned the right to be proud!"
:''"Hop, I’m actually not working as my gran’s assistant any longer..."
:''"In fact... I’m the professor now!"
:''"And really, I’ve got the two of you to thank for that."
:''"I was just along for the ride on your adventure, but I ended up taking a real interest in the history of the Galar region."
:''"And I came to care for Pokémon even more than I ever had before!"
:''"Ah, here! It’s a [[Sonia's Book|book]] I wrote! I even signed it—that makes it a collector’s item."
:''"Aww, thanks, Hop! That’s so sweet. I’ll sign your copy for you later." :''"Anyway, I’ve got my gran’s blessing and put out my first book under my own name... I think you can expect great things of the lovely Professor Sonia in the future, wouldn’t you say?"
:''"So? What are you young’ns doing here?"
:''"Ohhh... That’s it, isn’t it? You were putting the [[Rusted Sword]] and the [[Rusted Shield]] back in their place?"
:''"Can’t just keep holding on to them forever, right?"
:''"You forgot entirely, didn’t you? What, you think the two of you are besties now with Zacian and Zamazenta or something?!"
::'''If talked to again''' :''"I don’t have the best memories of the Slumbering Weald, but I came to do a quick investigation. Hurry it up, and put the Rusted Sword and the Rusted Shield back where they belong! I’d like to get a photo of them on location."

* After returning the Rusted Sword{{sup/8|Sw}}/Rusted Shield{{sup/8|Sh}}
:''"I think I’ll stay a bit longer. I want to do a little more research here in the forest."
:''"Hm? My Power Spot Detector is going off..."
:''"Eh, ah, hello... You bought my book?"
:''"What?! There are no lies printed in that book!"
:''"What exactly are you two supposed to be?"

* After defeating [[Sordward]]{{sup/8|Sw}}/[[Shielbert]]{{sup/8|Sh}}
:''"What does that even mean...?"
:''"Mural? You mean the one that hid the historical ruins of Zacian and the others? And hold on a moment—<player> wasn’t the one who destroyed it."
:''"Hold on, Hop!"
:''"Ugh, that kid. He’s gone and recklessly run off..."
:''"At least you’re calm, <player>. I expected as much."
:''"I’m surprised that Hop lost to someone like that. He looked upset about something during the battle. Maybe that had something to do with it?"
:''"His own rival became the new Champion, and his goal vanished before his eyes... You can’t help but wonder how he feels about it all."
:''"Anyway! [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], was it? I think I might know something about where those two weirdos went..."
:''"Shall we go over it at the lab in Wedgehurst?"
::'''Of course''' :''"I bet I didn’t even need to ask! Thanks! OK, we’ll meet up later, then! I’ll head back to the lab."
::'''I’m worried about Hop''' :''"I get it... You feel responsible for him and want to help him as soon as you can, right? OK, we’ll meet up later, then! I’ll head back to the lab."

;[[Wedgehurst]]
* Pokémon Lab
:''"Hey, <player>! Glad you’re here.
::'''Who’s this?''' :''"She’s my assistant! I’ve been so busy with research lately that I’ve had to bring on some extra help."
::'''You got an assistant?''' :''"Spot on! I’ve been busy with my research, so I decided to bring on some extra help."
:''"I’ve been keeping all the Wishing Stars that Chairman Rose had been gathering here in the lab."
:''"Things have been a little hectic around here, but my assistant has been handling things in a proper fashion. She’s really been helping me keep things afloat."
:''"Come here for a moment, would you? There’s something I want you to have a look at."
:''"You remember my Power Spot Detector, right? It detects places where Dynamaxing is possible... Basically when there’s a high concentration of Galar particles, the readings spike..."
:''"And that’s how I figured it out!"
:''"The Power Spot Detector reacted when those two got close."
::'''Could it be...?''': ''"Exactly!"
::'''So what does that mean?''': ''"Basically..."
:''"follow the readings from the Power Spot Detector, and you might be able to find those sword and shield weirdos."
:''"Sordward and Shielbert might claim to be royalty, with their weird, fancy hairstyles. But it’s easier to just call them weirdos, don’t you think?"
:''"Let’s get back on topic, though!"
:''"I placed Power Spot Detectors all around Galar, and now it’s their time to shine."
:''"Power Spot Detectors—access!"
:''"Whoa, whoa! That’s a way bigger reaction than I would’ve thought! Looks like it’s coming from… Turffield Stadium?"
:''"You could always Dynamax Pokémon at the stadium, so that’s not exactly unusual. But these readings are way higher than normal!"
:''"It can’t be {{p|Eternatus}}... You already caught it. Maybe it’s something related to those sword and shield weirdos?"
:''"You should go check it out, <player>. Since you’re our snazzy new Champion and all!"
:''"I’ve set up your Town Map to show where the strong particle reactions are coming from, so have a look at it."
::'''If talked to again''' :''"I’ll leave looking into Turffield to you. I’ll stay here and try to look into those rude weirdos."

;[[Turffield]]
* After defeating the Dynamax Pokémon
:''"Ah, there you are, <player>! Things are a right proper mess!"
:''"Just when I though the Galar particle count around Turffield had calmed down..."
:''"I started getting huge Galar particle readings from Hulbury Stadium and Motostoke Stadium!"
:''"So, what exactly happened at Turffield Stadium?"
::'''Explain exactly what happened''' :''"What?! A Dynamax Pokémon went on a rampage?"
::'''Exaggerate what happened''' :''"What?! A Dynamax Pokémon completely destroyed the stadium? Wait... Turffield Stadium is still there."
:''"Huh? Those sword and shield weirdos did it?"
:''"Hm? Hop and...Piers?!"
:''"Piers, what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be back in Spikemuth?"
:''"Yes. I’m getting the same readings in other towns as I was from Turffield Stadium."
:''"Ah, but [[Spikemuth]] Gym should be OK, right? I’m only seeing readings from Hulbury Stadium and Motostoke Stadium."
:''"Leave those sword and shield weirdos to me."
:''"I can poke around the net for sightings of them!"
::'''If talked to again''': ''"Those sword and shield weirdos stick out like a sore thumb. It shouldn’t be too hard to find them. Time for a little searching on social media!"

;[[Rotom Phone]]
* After visiting both [[Hulbury Stadium]] and Motostoke Stadium
:''"<player>! We’ve got trouble! Those two weirdos have showed up at the Pokémon Lab!"
:''"They keep rudely demanding I hand over Wishing Stars. I’m all right for now, but get over here quick, OK? These guys are right creepy!"

;[[Wedgehurst]]
* Pokémon Lab
:''"Wishing Stars and being a celebrity have nothing to do with each other!"
:''"I don’t know how you knew about this, but there’s no way we’re giving them to you!"
:''"Hop!"
:''"Don’t let these goons put you down!"

* After defeating the brothers
:''"Those men are dangerous! Be careful!"
:''"What? Stop! Give back those Wishing Stars!"
:''"Why?!"
:''"Was everything... Was it all a lie, right from the start?"
::'''If talked to again''' :''"... ... ..."

* Outside Pokémon Lab
:''"Wait! Don’t just leave without saying anything!"
:''"Of course I’d be down on myself! It was my fault I for tricked by a Nickit in Wooloo’s clothing."
:''"But that’s it! No more feeling sorry for myself!"
:''"That lot made off like bandits with all the Wishing stars!"
:''"It’d be awful if they were used for some evil purpose, so there’s no time to be feeling down!"
:''"Gran..."
:''"But why? What reason could they have for forcing Pokémon to Dynamax?"
:''"I’m curious about what my former assistant said about a royal lineage. Did she mean it literally?"
:''"...Ah, <player>! Look at your Town Map!"
:''"I’m detecting huge reactions at four stadiums now!"
:''"Ah, [[Spikemuth]] seems to be OK. There’s no Power Spot stadium there..."
:''"I’m sorry to leave it all to you, but you’ll have to take care of the Dynamax Pokémon. I’ll search for those sword and shield weirdos in the meantime!"

;[[Rotom Phone]]
* After visiting all four Gyms
:''"<player>! It's me! Sonia!"
:''"Those sword and shield weirdos got into Hammerlocke Stadium and are headed for the Energy Plant."
:''"The door to the plant’s locked, but I think I can get it open. Give me a bit, and you’ll be able to get in there!"
:''"You hear that? [[Hammerlocke]] Stadium. Get over there as soon as you can!"

;[[Hammerlocke Stadium]]
* Before visiting all four Gyms
:''"Oh, <player>! Someone saw those sword and shield weirdos! They said they got through the door! But the door’s closed with an electric lock. Opening it might take some time..."

* After calling the player
:''"Wha—? You’re back already? Hold on a moment! I think I’ve got it... Huh? That’s strange..."
:''"What?! It...it opened?!"
:''"Yamper! I should’ve known! Thanks for your help!"
:''"Those two weird guys are probably up ahead. Be careful!"

;[[Energy Plant]]
:''"... ... ..."
:''"Well... I could believe that you two are descendants of a Galarian king..."
:''"You’re wrong! What I wrote was the truth!"
:''"My hypothesis was that Zacian and Zamazenta have been protecting the Galar region since ancient times!"
::'''If talked to''': ''"I can’t really battle, but I’ll support you however I can!"

*After defeating Sordward{{sup/8|Sw}}/Shielbert{{sup/8|Sh}}
:''"What was that sound?"

* Tower Summit
:''"Stop! Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} is in pain!"
:''"It’s trying to suppress and calm itself, but it can’t control all the power!"
:''"It’s coming, <player>!"

*After defeating Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}}
:''"Hop! Watch out!"
::'''If talked to''' :''"Amazing… Absolutely incredible, <player>... I wonder if Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}} is thanking you, too?"

* After catching Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}}
:''"Wow, brilliant! Seems like you’ve been recognized by real royalty!"
:''"Ah."
:''"I was really hurt at first, but I’ve rallied. Thanks to you, I ended up learning quite a bit... Ah, that came off a bit more sarcastic than I thought it would!"
:''"Righto! We’ve stopped them from causing any harm! Still, I hope Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} is OK..."
:''"<player>, your Rotom Phone! Probably Hop, I reckon!"
:''"He sure sounds like he’s got his hands full. Guess some things never change!"
:''"Even in its Poké Ball, Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}} seems worried about its partner. We should go to the Slumbering Weald and see how Hop and Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} are doing."

;Slumbering Weald
:'''If talked to at the entrance''': ''"Want me to show you to the center of the woods, where Hop is waiting?"
::'''Yes''': ''"All right! Let’s get a move on."
::'''No''': ''"OK! Take all the time you need to prepare."
:''"Hop! You look a fright!"
:''"*sigh* Rushing in and trying to calm a legendary hero head on was awful reckless..."
:''"What did Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} say?"
:''"Wait, seriously?! That’s totally crazy!"
:''"You two really are something!"
:'''If talked to again''' :''"[[Hop]] sure must be tough if he’s been accepted by Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}}. Make sure you’re in top form before challenging him. If you need some time to prepare, I can take you back to the entrance of the woods."
::'''Yes''': ''"All right! Let’s get a move on."
::'''No''': ''"OK! Take all the time you need to prepare."

* After defeating Hop
:''"Ahhh! No fair. You two are so young and cute."
:''"I’m tearing up."
:''"What?! I’m still young and super energetic!"
:''"Say, Hop. Fancy becoming my assistant at the lab?"
:''"I’ve got all the books and data on Pokémon you could ever want!"
:''"Since you want to be a professor someday, I’ll oversee your studies!"
:''"Of course! Mind you, it’ll be a lot of work. Work’s really been piling up since I lost my first assistant!"
:''"What’re you lot doing here?"
:''"I already told you two... Zacian and Zamazenta are the real royalty."
:''"Oh? Leon gave you some pretty high praise. You look like the Meowth’s got your tongue, Hop."
:''"All right, I guess we should get going, too..."

:'''If talked to''' :''"If it isn’t <player>. Hop’s been studying pretty hard, surprisingly. I’m sure he’d be glad to know you dropped by for a visit."

'''Milo''' (Japanese: '''ヤロー''' ''Yarrow'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Turffield]]'s Gym, known officially as [[Turffield Stadium]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Grass}} to Trainers who defeat him.

==In the games==
Milo is designated the first Gym Leader [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. He is a farmer that honed his skills working on his farm with his Pokémon, and can be often seen in [[Turffield]] trying to wrangle wandering {{p|Wooloo}} with his farm's herding {{p|Yamper}}. Despite his size and strength, Milo is a gentle, laid-back Trainer who has trouble giving it his all on weaker opponents and doesn't worry about winning or losing so long as each party is having fun. [[Nessa]] considers Milo her [[rival]], as revealed in her [[League Card]], but Milo doesn't seem to acknowledge this, claiming the only rival he really has is himself.

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Milo's [[League Card]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
;Normal League Card
:"This {{pkmn|Trainer}} was born as the son of farmers. He has honed his strength, stamina, and skill as a Pokémon Trainer from a young age by working together with his Pokémon. Because of his gentle nature, he has trouble going all out on weaker opponents, which is why his [[Gym]] is the first one for challengers to attempt during the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. He always wears his boots, as apparently they let him dig in his heels when he needs to."
;Rare League Card
:"Though his record isn't the best due to his focus on simply having fun in battles, Milo himself is incredibly strong. The rolls of hay used in his Gym Challenge each weigh over {{tt|770 pounds|350 kilograms}}, yet Milo can roll them around easily. {{p|Wooloo}} tend to roll around, too, and sometimes they can get carried away and roll out of the [[Turffield Stadium|Gym Stadium]]. It has become common in [[Turffield]] to see the whole town chasing after Milo, who is in turn chasing after a stray Wooloo, along with {{p|Yamper}}."

===Pokémon===
Milo keeps his Pokémon in [[Ultra Ball]]s.

====Gym battle====
Milo will [[Dynamax]] his {{p|Eldegoss}} at the first opportunity.

:''"Wooloo! Where do you think you’re going?!"''
:''"My... Are you OK? You took that Tackle head on..."''
:''"Hmmm? Oh, you must be one of those Gym Challengers, right?"''
::'''"Yes, indeed!"''': ''"Ahhh, I thought so. I saw you at the opening ceremony."''
::'''"No, I’m not"''': ''"Oh please, are you trying to have me on? I saw you at the opening ceremony!"''
:''"My name’s Milo. I’m a Gym Leader and rather partial to Grass-type Pokémon."''
:''"I’ve been itching to see just how good the Champion-endorsed Gym Challengers are... Let me find out at the Gym Stadium! Just head on through this route, and you’ll run right into my stadium. See you there!"''
:''"Come on now. Back to the stadium with you, too! We can’t keep the Gym Challengers waiting!"''

;[[Turffield Stadium]]
:''"My Gym’s the first one people face, so we get a lot of challengers. That’s why I try to keep the Gym mission challenging, but..."''
:''"that didn’t stop you from completing it, <player>! Proper job!"''
:''"Sure seems like you understand Pokémon real well. This is gonna be a doozy of a battle! I’ll have to {{color2|f00|Dynamax}} my Pokémon if I want to win!"''

* Upon sending out last Pokémon
:''"Woohoo! We’re not going to be done in that easy! We’re tough as weeds!"''

* Upon using Dynamax
:''"Come on, then! It’s Dynamax time! You’re about to be uprooted!"''

* Upon using {{m|Max Overgrowth}}
:''"This’ll really leave you in shock and awe. It’s our Dynamax move!"

* Upon being defeated
:''"The power of Grass has wilted... What an incredible Gym Challenger!"''

* After being defeated
:''"That must have been a fulfilling Pokémon battle for you!"''
:''"As proof that you have defeated a Gym Leader for the Gym Challenge, allow me to present you with your very own Grass Badge!"''
:''"You need to obtain all eight Gym Badges in order to complete the Gym Challenge. And the only way to gather the Badges is to defeat every Gym Leader!"''
:''"Some advice for you, <player>. The Gym Challenge has a set order you’ll need to follow. So that means your next stop should be in Hulbury to meet Nessa. Hulbury’s just beyond Route 5. Or since you’re got the Grass Badge, you could head to the Wild Area. It’s a bit tricky to catch Pokémon that are a higher level than the Pokémon on your team, but they make powerful allies if you succeed!"

'''Bede''' (Japanese: '''ビート''' ''Beet'') is one of the [[rival]] characters in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the others being [[Hop]] and [[Marnie]]. He initially [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but is eventually scouted by [[Opal]] to succeed her as a {{type|Fairy}} [[Gym Leader]], and thus changes his specialty type accordingly. As the Gym Leader of [[Ballonlea Stadium]], he gives the {{badge|GalarFairy|Fairy Badge}} to Trainers who defeat him.

==In the games==
Bede is one of the {{player}}'s [[rival]]s. He is a prideful young man who had been personally sponsored by [[Chairman Rose]], who gave Bede his first Pokémon upon visiting his orphanage when he was a child. While he is competing in the Gym Challenge to become {{pkmn|Champion}}, he has been gathering [[Wishing Star]]s in large quantities to help the Chairman realize his ambition. However, in his zealous pursuit of Wishing Stars, Bede brings harm to a historic landmark in [[Stow-on-Side]], and he is disowned by Rose and disqualified from the Gym Challenge.

After the player returns from [[Ballonlea]] to [[Hammerlocke]] with the [[Badge#Fairy Badge Galar|Fairy Badge]], Opal notices the sulking Bede and is struck with inspiration, asking him to become her successor. Bede reluctantly agrees, believing he will become stronger in the process. Bede eventually returns as a [[Gym Leader]], interrupting the finals of the [[Galar League|Champion Cup]] and demanding to battle the player, staking his career on his victory. After losing, Bede, who had begun to regret accepting Opal's offer, reveals he was planning on using the result of the battle as an excuse to get away from his mentor. However, after hearing the crowd cheer him on despite his loss, he feels obligated to continue training, figuring he will be able to completely take over for Opal soon.

After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player, Hop, and former Gym Leader [[Piers]] head to [[Ballonlea Stadium]] while trying to stop [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], but in the lobby, Bede confidently declares that he has taken care of the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon running rampant in his Stadium already. The player's group attempts to leave but Bede refuses to let them go until he has a battle with the new Champion. After some assurance from Opal, the group decides to indulge Bede. During the battle, Bede acknowledges the player's strength, and after being defeated, accepts them as Champion. A more humble Trainer now, Bede swears he'll overcome his weakness and, in his words, "reach the pinnacle of what Fairy types can do."

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Bede's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
;Normal League Card
:"Bede spent some time living in an orphanage after his family ran into some trouble when he was young. He always had difficulty getting along with others and would constantly get into fights. That is until one day [[Chairman Rose]] visited the facility. Rose gave Bede a Pokémon, which changed Bede's life forever. He showed talent as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and threw himself into [[Pokémon battle]]s, becoming stronger by the day. He has joined the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] with an endorsement from the chairman himself, and Bede plans to prove that the chairman's faith was not misplaced."
;Rare League Card
:"He was appointed by the former [[Gym Leader]] [[Opal]] to become the new [[Gym Leader]] of [[Ballonlea Stadium]]. The general consensus is that Opal's harsh training has in fact mellowed him out. Though he himself has never confirmed nor denied this, it should be noted that he no longer refuses to give autographs. Additionally, it seems his skills as a Pokémon Trainer have also increased rather dramatically. Recently, his intrusion during the Finals of the Champion Cup has gained popularity, and fans wish to see that kind of performance again. Bede himself is not sure how to react."

===Pokémon===
Bede keeps his Pokémon in [[Great Ball]]s.

===Quotes===
{{incomplete}}
;[[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"I was endorsed by the [[Chairman Rose|chairman]] himself."''
:''"In other words, among all those elite enough to get an endorsement, I'm the most elite of all."''
:''"So why don't you clear off and not try talking to me again, would you?"''
:''"It's positively criminal of you, wasting the time of someone as important as I am."''

;[[Galar Mine]]
:''"Coming this way? I'd advise against it."''
:''"Any trainer with a Wishing Star is in for a beating from me and my Pokémon!"''

*Before battle
:''"You."''
:''"You're the Gym Challenger endorsed by the {{pkmn|Champion}}, aren't you?"''
:''"What a joke."''
:''"You are aware that the chairman is more important than the Champion, right?"''
:''"I was chosen by the chairman himself, so that makes me more amazing than you!"''
:''"I suppose I should prove beyond doubt just how pathetic you are and how strong I am."''

*After the first non-KO hit
:''"I'm just giving your Pokémon a little chance to shine. That's all."''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Oh dear, what have I been doing? Well, whatever. Let's just get this over with."''

*Upon using a special move
:''"This is a good time to test out a move I’ve been interested in lately."

*Upon being defeated
:''"I see... Well, that's fine. I wasn't really trying all that hard anyway."''

*After being defeated
:''"Well, that was unexpected. I suppose you're more able than I thought."''
:''"Naturally, I'll remember your battle style and strategies now."''
:''"I'm sure to easily defeat you if and when we face each other in an official match."''
:''"Now that we've established that, I won't waste any more time on you."''
:''"I've already gathered every Wishing Star in this area."''

;[[Hulbury]]
:''"I promise to do everything in my power to assist you, too, Chairman!"''
:''"Bede, sir."''
:''"I will prove your faith in me was well placed, Chairman. I won't lose to anyone!"''
:''"Anyway, I will be on my way now."''

;[[Galar Mine No. 2]]
:''"You again..."''
:''"I'd feel sorry for my Pokémon if I made them take part in a battle against low-level opponents."''
:''"I'm not in the mood to deal with weaklings right now."''
:''"Then again, I suppose it's a form of mercy to crush weak opponents early on."''
:''"If you're under the misguided impression that you're stronger than me, then surely you would be up for a Pokémon battle."''
::'''Naturally!''': ''"It's utterly inconceivable that I, the challenger chosen by the chairman, would lose!"''
::'''Hold on a minute...''':''"Hmph! I've no time to deal with pathetic Trainers!"''

*After the first non-KO hit
:''"Hmph. Looks like you've grown a bit. Only a little bit, though!"''

*Upon using a special move
:''"It's not every day I get to battle you, so I suppose I may as well try out this move."''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Excellent! Not everyone can corner my team like this!"''

*Upon being defeated
:''"You showed at least a little effort, so I decided I should let you win!"''

*After being defeated
:''"Ah, pardon me. It seems I must take back my words."''
:''"You're not weak—you just lack talent. Your chances of completing the Gym Challenge are pretty slim, I must say. Here, I'll give you this. Something to show you at least tried."''
:''"Now, where shall I go next to collect Wishing Stars?"''

==In the TCG==
[[File:BedeSwordShield199.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Bede]]
{{main|Bede (Sword & Shield 157)}}
'''Bede''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|V Starter Sets|V Starter Set Lightning}}. It later appeared in the Japanese {{TCG|Sword}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion, with artwork by [[Naoki Saito]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in the same Japanese and English expansions, with artwork by the same artist. It allows the player to attach a basic {{TCG|Energy card}} from their hand to one of their Benched Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Bede's uniform number is "908", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for クレバー ''kurebā'', meaning "clever".
* Bede is left-handed.
* The logo of [[Rose Tower]] can be seen on the back of Bede's jacket. The same logo is printed on the uniforms of certain [[Macro Cosmos's (Trainer_class)|Macro Cosmos employees]].
* Bede is the only notable male {{type|Fairy}} [[Type expert|expert]].
* Bede is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} to change his type specialization during a game, going from {{type|Psychic}} to Fairy-type.
** He is also the second Trainer known to have changed his type specialization overall, following [[Jasmine]], who used to train {{type|Rock}} before becoming the {{type|Steel}} expert she currently is.
* A portion of Bede's battle theme is remixed from the music used during the final battle of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}.

'''Hop''' (Japanese: '''ホップ''' ''Hop'') is one of the [[rival]] characters in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the others being [[Bede]] and [[Marnie]].

==In the games==
Hop is the {{player}}'s neighbor and [[rival]]. His goal is to become the {{pkmn|Champion}}, just like his brother [[Leon]]. Hop starts his {{pkmn|journey}} with his [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]], {{p|Wooloo}}, and the [[starter Pokémon]] weak to the player's choice. After meeting a mysterious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Slumbering Weald]] and receiving an [[endorsement]] from Leon, Hop and the player board the train to [[Motostoke]], and their respective journeys begin. While an outwardly earnest boy, Hop's dreams are cast into doubt after a crushing defeat at the hands of [[Bede]] soon after earning his {{badge|Fire}}, compounded by frequent losses to the player and the pressure of following in his brother's footsteps. Believing he is making his brother look weak, Hop begins using different teams to get stronger but still comes up short, losing his first challenge at [[Circhester Stadium]].

After the player wins at Circhester Stadium, Hop and the player learn more about the mysterious Pokémon of Slumbering Weald and their relationship to the hero. Motivated, Hop tells the player he has made up his mind and will no longer doubt himself, challenging them with his new, final team led by his newly-evolved {{p|Dubwool}}. Hop completes his Gym challenge and eventually meets the player as their second opponent in the Champion Cup in [[Wyndon Stadium]]. He is eventually defeated, and while visibly upset, Hop congratulates the player.

After the semifinals, Hop and the player search for Leon, who said he would be at the Rose of the Ronderlands hotel to join the two for dinner, but he did not show up. With the help of [[Piers]], [[Marnie]], and [[Team Yell]], the player and Hop pursue a member of [[Macro Cosmos]] to [[Rose Tower]], where they find Leon having a discussion with [[Chairman Rose]] at the top. Hop later appears to congratulate the player for clearing the final round of the Champion Cup, and after some encouragement by his starter Pokémon, he decides he is going to cheer for them over his brother. However, after Rose interrupts the Championship match, Hop suggests heading towards the Slumbering Weald to stop the return of {{p|Eternatus}} and the [[Darkest Day]].

In the deepest parts of the Weald, the player and Hop are unable to find the mysterious Pokémon they once saw, and instead, they discover a [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield]]. Hop takes the Shield{{sup/8|Sw}}/Sword{{sup/8|Sh}} and make way to the [[Energy Plant]] in [[Hammerlocke]]. After defeating Rose, the player and Hop join Leon, who tries and fails to catch Eternatus. After the player knocks it out, Eternatus turns into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Eternatus|Eternamax}} Eternatus. Hop joins the player in a [[Max Raid Battle]] against it, but they are unable to do anything until they use the Rusted Sword and Shield to summon {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}. Through the combined efforts of Hop and the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} heroes, the player can catch and stop Eternatus.

After becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player meets Hop again in the Slumbering Weald where Zacian and Zamazenta once slept, saying he felt compelled to come there. After congratulating the player and having another battle, the player and Hop attempt to return the Rusted Sword and Shield, but are stopped by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who attempt to steal the artifacts. The player successfully reclaims their artifact in a {{pkmn|battle}} with Sordward{{sup/8|Sw}}/Shielbert{{sup/8|Sh}}, but Hop is defeated by the other brother and loses his artifact. Feeling responsible, Hop quickly pursues the brothers, who are causing Trainers' Pokémon to [[Dynamax]] by force and run amok in [[Gym|Stadiums]]. While helping the Pokémon in Max Raid Battles with the player, Piers, and the other Gym Leaders, Hop expresses newfound doubts, thinking he is only dragging his friends down.

Hop and the player eventually corner the brothers at the Energy Plant, where they drive Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} into a berserk state by exposing it to Dynamax energy. The player defeats it in battle, and the Legendary Pokémon runs off after nearly attacking Hop, who was trying to help it. Hop goes after it, leaving Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}} in the hands of the player, who is challenged by the other Legendary Pokémon. After the player catches Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}}, they go back to the Slumbering Weald, where they see Hop soothing a distraught Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}}. Thankful, the Legendary hero offers to join Hop's team. Hop then declares he has a new dream; to become a [[Pokémon Professor]] to help people as he did during the past incidents, but he also says that he will always see the player as a rival. With that, he and the player have one more battle, with Hop using his new Legendary partner. After the battle, [[Sonia]] offers Hop a position as her [[Professors' aides|assistant]] to help with his studies, which he accepts.

After the post-game story, Hop can be [[rematch]]ed as one of the challengers of the Champion Cup. This time, he uses a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Corviknight}}. While not battling, he can be found in Sonia's laboratory at [[Wedgehurst]].

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Hop's [[League Card]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
;Normal League Card
:"This [[Pokémon Trainer]] got endorsed to take part in the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] by his brother—the reigning {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Leon]]. Hop claims to have watched all Leon's matches. Commentators speculate that as a result, he might be quite the force to be reckoned with. The Champion himself has said that his brother has potential, but his carefully hoarded knowledge can go to waste as he tends to get easily flustered in battle. It's said that Hop's partner {{p|Wooloo}} is a great help to him both in battle and with chores around the house."
;Rare League Card
:"This Trainer ultimately was defeated in the final match of the Champion Cup Semifinals. However, many [[Gym Leader]]s speak highly of his battle style, where he will let his Pokémon battle freely and really enjoy themselves. During the incident with {{p|Eternatus}}, he provided vital assistance in resolving the situation, proving beyond doubt that he is a skilled Trainer in his own right. It is expected that his battles with {{player|the new Champion}} will be the stuff of legend."

{{incomplete|section}}
;[[Postwick]]
* At Player's House
:''"Hello, hello!"
:''"Oh! That your flash new phone, <player>?"
:''"Were you watching Lee's exhibition match on it? But you can't cheer him on with your hands full! You know the only way to properly cheer on Lee would be with his famous Charizard pose! "
:''"Yeah, that's exactly why I came running over to get <player>! Never mind watching the match now! I've got it recording at home anyway. I record all my brother's matches."
:''"Come with me, <player>! He should be here any minute! And Lee always brings presents when he visits, so I wouldn't forget that Bag if I were you!"
:''"Now I've got to run! See you at mine later!

* Outside of Player's House
:''"Hahaha! Have a look at you, <player>! That old Bag looks like it could pull you over! At least we know that it should hold anything Lee might bring, even if it's as big as a Snorlax!"
:''"A Wooloo... But what's it doing there?"
:''"Hey! You silly Wooloo! I see what you're up to! Don't go using Tackle on the fencing! Now, you listen! No going past that fence! No! Everyone knows there are scary Pokémon living in the Slumbering Weald!"
:''"Now that that's taken care of... How about it, <player>? Let's race! Bet I can make it to my house first, what with you lugging about that big old Bag!"

* Hop's House
:''"Mum! Is he here?!"
:''"Yeah, yeah, but where's Lee? Have you got him crammed in a cupboard?"
:''"Then that's where I'm going! You know Lee is hopeless with directions. I'll make sure he doesn't get lost on the way!"
:''"You've got the come with, <player>. You've still never met my big bro, right? You can't miss out on your chance to meet the undefeated Champion! I'll wait for you out on the route!"

* Outside
:''"Let's get a move on! Only remember, <player>... Wild Pokémon could come out of nowhere if you walk through patches of tall grass. I've got my Wooloo with me, so I'm ready for battles against wild Pokémon, of course. But not you, <player>! So we'll steer clear of the tall grass as we go."

;{{rt|1|Galar}}
:''"Let's go and meet Lee at the station! It's dead ahead from here!"
::'''If the player walks into the grass''' : ''"No wandering in that tall grass for you if you got no Pokémon of your own, mate!"

;[[Wedgehurst]]
:''"Lee!"
:''"Bingo! That's the sort of sharp eye that's kept you undefeated so long, eh, Lee?"
:''"Come on, Lee! And you, <player>!"
:''"Bet I can beat the both of you back home!"

;[[Postwick]]
* Leon giving the player and Hop their [[Starter Pokémon]]
:''"Come on, Lee! You promised us a present! So out with it! You brought <player> and me Pokémon. You did, didn't you? I know you must have!"
:''"Go on—you pick first. I've already got my Wooloo, after all."
::'''If the player tries to leave without choosing''' : ''"Where are you going, <player>?! You haven't chosen a Pokémon yet!"
::'''Grookey''' : ''"So it'll be Grookey for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Sobble! You're mine!"
::'''Scorbunny''' : ''"So it'll be Scorbunny for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Grookey! You're mine!"
::'''Sobble''' : ''"So it'll be Sobble for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Scorbunny! You're mine!"
:''"I'm aiming to be the next champion, so be ready! You and I'll be doing some serious training!"

* The next day
:''"Course I have, Lee! <player>'s made fast friends with his/her Grookey/Scorbunny/Sobble, too."
:''"What're you looking at him/her for, Lee? I'm the one who'll be coming to challenge you! If you think <player> might be able to challenge you, then I guess he's/she's my first rival! But I'm not planning to lose to him/her and miss out on my chance to beat the unbeatable Champion!"
:''"Just having a Pokémon with you doesn't make you a real Trainer, you know. Proper Trainers raise their Pokémon up to be first-rate in battle, too!"
::'''If the player said No to battling''' : ''"Me and Sobble/Grookey/Scorbunny are ready to have a go at you anytime!"
::'''If the player tries to leave without battling''' : ''"And where do you think you're off to, then? We're having a battle — you and me!"
::'''If the player said Yes to battling''' : ''"I've watched every match that Lee's ever had! I've read every book and magazine he left behind at home, too! I know exactly what to do in order to win!"

* In battle
:''"A Pokémon battle it is, then! I've got two partners with me!"
::'''After Wooloo faints''' : ''"It's not ever yet! I've added another trusty ally to my team!"
::'''After player lands a Super-Effective hit on Hop's starter''' : ''"Did you already know about type advantages!?"
::'''If the player hits a Critical Hit on either of Hop's Pokemon''': ''"A critical hit? What kind of beginner's luck is that?!"''
::'''If the player defeats Hop''' :''"You beat my two Pokémon with your one?! You and that Grookey/Scorbunny/Sobble are too much!"

* After battle
::'''If Hop defeated the player''' :''"Sorry, mate. Even if you did get your Pokémon direct from a champ like Lee, looks like I’m still the greatest!"
::'''If the Player defeated Hop''' :''"Well, that was a shock! Guess I know now why Lee thought he should give you a Pokémon, too..."
:''"I already want to get stronger and stronger! You've seen me battle now, Lee, so come on—— you've gotta let me take on the [[Pokémon Gyms]]!"
:''"Right, right, we get it... Pokédexes, then! We're on it! Looks likes it's off to the Pokémon Research Lab for you and me, <player>!"
:''"I'm going to be the next Champion, so completing a simple Pokédex will be nothing! Just another page in the tale of my legend! You'd probably better go tell your mum that we're heading out, though."
:''"<player>! Did you hear that just now?"
:''"The gate's open! And the Wooloo that was there..."
:''"It was tackling the fence pretty hard earlier. You don't think it actually broke through there, do you?"
:''"But it's off limits! Nobody's supposed to go in there! I remember the professor's granddaughter went in once, and she came back in a real state... And that was nothing compared to the earful she got from the professor afterward! <player>... What do you say?"
::'''We've got to save it!''' : ''"Right? Even if we're not supposed to, this is the kind of scene where you simply have to do what's needed!"
::'''I don't know...''' : ''"Right... No one wants to get in trouble, least of all me. But deep down you want to save that Pokémon, too, don’t you?"
:''"Hope you're ready for anything, because we're going in, <player>!"
::'''If the player tries to leave''' : ''"The Slumbering Weald is over this way! Let’s go find that Wooloo!"
::'''If talked to again''' : ''"Come on, <player>! We can't just leave that Pokémon on its own!"

;[[Slumbering Weald]]
:''"That Wooloo… Where do you think it got off to?"
:''"The fog is really coming on thick now... If we don't find that Pokémon soon, this might be trouble."
::'''If the player tries to leave''' : ''"Be serious, would you? We’ve got to go look for that Pokémon!"
:''"Doing all right there, Grooky/Scorbunny/Sobble? Let's be sure you're in tip-top shape."
:''"There. Now let's push on!"
:''"Did you hear that? Was that a Pokémon crying out, you think?!"
:''"Come on, <player>! That Wooloo might be in real trouble!"
::'''If the player tries to leave''' :''"Hey! <player>! Not trying to ditch me in here, are you?"
:''"This is mad... I can't even see my own hand in front of my face! I think I get now why this place is off-limits..."
:''"What in the——?!"

* In battle
::'''After attacking''' : ''"Wha—?! The move had no effect on it?!
::'''After attacking again''' : ''"<player>! I can't see anything! You OK?!"
::'''After attacking a third time''' :''"I can’t see anything!"
:''"Uwaaaaaah!"

*After battle
:''"Wha—? Lee? How’d you manage to find your way here? You’re pants with directions. You always get lost."
:''"Wait, where’s the Wooloo?! We were trying to rescue that Wooloo!"
:''"And at least that Wooloo’s all right… Yeah, Name? I thought we’d had it when that weird fog started rolling in and that mad Pokémon attacked… but at least it wasn’t all for nothing!"
:''"It seemed loads stronger than any Pokémon I’ve ever seen. And it just had this sort of presence… Our moves didn’t even touch it. I mean, really— they seemed to pass right through it!"
:''"Even if we did get an earful from Lee…what an experience! This’ll make a pretty fine first page in the tale of my legend!"

;[[Postwick]]
*Outside of Player's House
:''"Don’t forget to tell your mum we’re off to Wedgehurst now. She’ll go spare if you leave without a word—even worse than Lee just did!"
::'''If the player tries to leave''' : ''"You did tell your mum that we’re heading to Wedgehurst, right? She’ll go spare if you disappear without a word."

;{{rt|1|Galar}}
:''"Here we go! This is quite the big step, you know. My first step toward becoming the next Champion!"
:''"Guess I’ll probably train up Sobble/Grooky/Scorbunny a bit by having it battle against Pokémon in the tall grass."
:''"You should get yourself to the building with the purple roof and the great red and white ball mark out on front. That’s the Pokémon research Lab!"

;[[Wedgehurst]]
* After getting the Pokédex
:''"Got your Pokédex from Sonia? Then it’s time to meet lots of different Pokémon and start building up a strong team! But battling strong Pokémon in the wild can leave your team in a bad way. Not to mention what battling another Trainer can do… Luckily, we’ve got Pokémon Centers!"
:''"Luckier yet, they’re dead easy to spot. They look the same wherever you go."
:''"Come on, <player>. Bet you’ve never been inside one!"

* Pokémon Center
:''"Level with me, <player>. Is this your first time in a Pokémon Center?
::'''Yes...''' :''"Then the future Champion’s got you covered! First things first—you talk to the lady at the counter if you want your Pokémon healed up. And Pokémon you catch are kept in computers like the one you can find here, see? After all, you can only bring six Pokémon with you on the road in your party. The Potions they sell at the Poké Mart got me out of a real rough spot the other day!"
::'''Of course not''' :''"Then I don’t think you need me to tell you what you already know."
:''"Cheers! I’m already good, though. I’m heading to Route 2, <player>! Come find me, maybe, when you’re done here!"

* Outside
:''"Listen, <player>. I’ve been thinking... If you’re a Pokémon Trainer now, you must want to try your hand at the Gym Challenge, right?"
::'''The Gym Challenge?/What's that?''' :''"The Gym Challenge, mate! The annual competition where Trainers can battle it out for the right to challenge the Champion! But the trick is that you’ve got to be endorsed if you want to take part. And Lee doesn’t seem to think I’m up to snuff… So I’m thinking I ought to talk to the professor and see if she could help! You’ve got to take part, too! A proper rival is just the thing every Trainer needs to keep growing stronger, after all. Keeps you motivated, right? The professor’s house is way down at the end of Route 2, so let’s head there…and give our teams the chance to train up a bit along the way!"

;{{rt|2|Galar}}
:''"Over here, <player>!"
:''"All right, <player>? It’s time we filled in out teams a bit—"
:''"Lee?! Where’d you come from?"

* After the catching tutorial
:''"Typical Lee!"
:''"The Pokémon on your team will get Exp. Points when you catch Pokémon, too."
:''"All right! I’m gonna catch loads of Pokémon. The professor will be shocked when she sees!"

* Outside Magnolia's House
:''"Look! There’s the professor!"

* Magnolia's House
:''"Hey, Professor, do us a favor, would you? Help me convince Lee he should endorse us for the Gym Challenge!"
:''"Right! I’ll be waiting outside, <player>!"

* Outside
:''"Hurry it up, <player>! You’ve gotta battle me so I can get myself that endorsement!"
::'''if the player tries to leave''' :''"Hurry it up, <player>! You’ve gotta battle me so I can get myself that endorsement!"
:''"I’m going to become the greatest Pokémon Trainer there is! And to do that, I need that endorsement to take part in the Gym Challenge! Come at me with everything you have so we can prove to Lee that we’ve got what it takes!"
::'''Of course''' :''"It’s time for my legend to begin!"
::'''I need to prepare''' :''"Oh, fine... Guess I can wait a bit."

* In battle
:''"Have you gotten a bit stronger? Me and my team will put you to the test and see!"
::'''After player lands a Super-Effective hit''' :''"Well, look at you! Seems you’ve really learned your type matchups!"
::'''After player lands a Critical Hit''' :''"You landed a critical hit on my Pokémon?! You’ve got plenty of spirit—that’s for sure!"
::'''When Hop sends out his last Pokémon''' :''"It’ll be a close one! But that’s exactly my sort of match!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's same-type move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Branch Poke]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Water Gun]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Ember]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''If the player defeats Hop''' :''"Oof! Gutted that I lost… But I’d expect nothing less from my rival!"

* After battle
::'''If Hop defeated the player for the second time''' :''"Undefeated! And my Pokémon’s moves were seriously on point!"
::'''If Hop defeated the player for the first time''' :''"Hah! See that! I knew I could do it. Am I ever glad I could beat you this time!"
::'''If the player defeated Hop for the second time''' :''"And I even got my Poké Ball throw perfect, too!"
::'''If the player defeated Hop for the first time''' :''"This was you getting back at me for last time, wasn’t it? Argh! I’m gutted to lose to you of all people!"
:''"The sting of defeat and joy of victory... I guess going through both is the key to the two of us getting stronger, right?"
:''"Yes! Thanks, Lee! I swear I’m going to win my way through the Gym Challenge to reach you!"
:''"All right, <player>! You and me are going to train up against one another to aim for that Champion’s title!"
::'''Absolutely!''' :''"The more we keep battling against one another, the more our Pokémon will grow."
::'''Against one another?''' :''"That’s the way of it when you’ve got a great rival! Just like you’ve got me, and I’ve got you!"
:''"Huh? What’s that?!"
:''"<player>! Would you look at this? They’re Wishing Stars! Since there are two of them, you should take one yourself!"
:''"With one of those, my Pokémon can Dynamax! They’re gonna be massive! YES!"
:''"I will be the greatest Trainer ever! I WILL be the greatest Trainer ever! I WILL BE THE GREATEST TRAINER EVER!!! There! I’ve said it three times, so surely my wish will come true now, right?"
:''"Ah, right. You’ve done heaps of research on the Dynamax phenomenon, haven’t you, Professor? Then please! Give <player> and me the power to Dynamax our Pokémon!"
:''"First we got to battle against that mad Pokémon in the Slumbering Weald, and now this... It really feels like we’re getting caught up in the adventure of a lifetime!"

* The next morning, inside Magnolia's House
:''"It’s morning at last! And time for our adventure to truly start!"
:''"Er, well, there was weird heavy fog, and then this even weirder Pokémon appeared... <player> tried to fight it off! But then I think we both passed out or something. It’s all pretty hazy."
:''"Thanks, Professor! This is brilliant! It’s just like the one Lee has on him, too. Now we can Dynamax our Pokémon like he does!"
:''"The legend of my reign is finally about to begin!"
:''"Come on, <player>! I’ll beat you to the station!"

* Outside
:''"One last thing before we race, <player>. See, I’ve got some great advice for you!"
:''"You know how you sometimes see Pokémon wandering about out of the tall grass, yeah?"
:''"If you move real slow like, and crouch down, those Pokémon won’t pay you any notice."
:''"But on the other hand... If you whistle at them, you’ll be SURE to catch their attention!"
:''"If you’re a bit rubbish as whistling, just remember this: "Need a fail-proof trick? Press the Left Stick!""
:''"Try it out, and let’s see who can catch the most Pokémon, <player>!"
:''"You remember Wedgehurst Station, right? Where we went to pick up Lee before. That’ll be the goal, so see you there!"

;[[Wedgehurst]]
:''"Come on, <player>! You’ll never beat me to the station at that pace!"
:''"So, out with it, <player>! How many did you catch? I caught a really special one!"
::'''If the player did not catch any Pokémon''' :''"And you got... Not one?! What were you doing this whole time? You’re going to want a team if you’re a Trainer!"
::'''If the player caught one Pokémon''' :''"And you’ve got yourself... Ooh, just one! Looks like we’re at a draw. Though we are rivals and all, so that’s fair!"
::'''If the player caught multiple Pokémon''' :''"But look at how many you caught! You’re well on your way to building a fine team."
:''"That’s a technical machine! A TM, mate! With a TM like that, you can teach your Pokémon a new move in a flash. And you can use them again and again, too. That one can teach the move Swift. Lee gave it to me ages ago, and now it’s yours."
:''"The Gym Challenge will begin in Motostoke! And our train’s waiting, so let’s go!"

* Train Station
:''"What’re you doing here, Mum?"
:''"Thanks, Mum. And just think how lucky you are—mother to the first ever pair of Champion brothers! Because I’m certain to be the Champion next. You’ll see!"
:''"Wish us luck! Not that we’ll need it."
:''"There are loads of brilliant Trainers and all kinds of Pokémon out there waiting for us! My excitement’s running ahead of me even faster than that train can go, Name! Come on! We’re off!"

* On the Train
:''"Motostoke is surrounded by a vast Wild Area! It’s a real sight. There’re all sorts of wild Pokémon just wandering about—everywhere you look! Plus, you can camp out, do a spot of fishing... I don’t think I could ever get tired of it!"

;[[Meetup Spot]]
* Inside Station
:''"Hey, Mr. Station Master! Isn’t this the Wild Area? What’re we stopped here for?"
:''"What’s there to be sorry about? This is brilliant!"
::'''Brilliant?/What is?''' :''"This Wild Area is massive! There are loads of Pokémon to battle here! You get it, don’t you, <player>? This is the best possible place to put together the greatest team!"

* Outside
:''"Look at that!"
:''"That’s Motostoke, way off that way!"
:''"And between there and here are countless new Pokémon waiting to be met!"
:''"Oh, hello. And if it isn’t Sonia."
:''"Yikes... Being an adult has got its own challengers, eh?"
:''"Well, I’m off to go stick my head in as many of those red glowing dens as I can find. I’m going to battle the snot out of a bunch of Dynamax Pokémon and fill in another page in the tale of my legend!"

;[[Motostoke]]
* Outside
:''"You made it, too?"
:''"Motostoke Stadium... This is where the opening ceremony will be held."
:''"Everyone’ll be watching the opening ceremony for the Gym Challenge... My mum... Your mum... The whole world!"
:''"It’s getting me a bit nervous, really... Naw, this isn’t nerves... I’m only trembling because I’m so excited!"
:''"Come on, <player>! It’s time the world learned our names!"

* [[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"Would you take a look at this... The place is packed with Gym Challengers! Every one of these folks is another rival!"
:''"Let’s get signed up!"
:''"Seriously? What a piece of work..."
:''"Well, now you’ve had two, because I am as well!"
:''"I’m Hop! I’m Leon’s little brother, in fact. And the next Champion. Get me all signed up, would you?"
:''"That’s the League Chairman for you! Even booked us all hotel rooms! I’m off to check out the fancy digs!"

* Budew Drop Inn
:''"Oh hey, Sonia! What’re you doing at our hotel?"
:''"What’s this, then?"
:''"Huh... I suppose that hero must’ve been about as strong as Lee, then! Looks like you’re going to have your hands full with plenty to research, though, Sonia. Black storms and swords and shields and all..."
:''"Probably so! And we’ll look out for you, too, Sonia. If we hear anything about any hero or whatnot, we’ll tell you!"
:''"I wasn’t expecting checking in would be such a big fuss, <player>! What’s going on? Sneaking in some Pokémon battles without me?"
:''"Don’t think you can get ahead of me that easily... I need to get some training in, so I’m joining! Here, I’ll even heal up your Pokémon, too."
:''"I’m Hop, one of this year’s Gym Challengers! And the one who’s gonna be the next Champion! Now let’s have us a nice two-on-two!"
:''"So you’re a Gym Challenger, too? Team Yell, was it? Pretty impressive that you already have a set of fans to call your own!"
::'''If talked to at any point''' :''"I guess we probably should head to the front desk to get checked in."
* The next morning
:''"Morning!"
:''"So this is it... Now my legend really begins!"
:''"Watch out, <player>! I’ll beat you to Motostoke Stadium!"

* [[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"I can’t wait for the first match! Pretty soon I’ll have so man fans, I’ll have to fight 'em off like Lee does!"
:''"Standing there on the pitch...in the stadium...in front of everyone! There’s really no words for it, but... I can barely contain myself! My heart’s racing!"
:''"Let’s do it, <player>! You know the Gym Challenge has a set order that you’ve gotta visit the Gyms in, right? The first is in Turffield! And to get there, we need to head to Route 3!"

* Outside
:''"There you are! I’ve been waiting! Let’s have a battle, you and me. We’ll get in a bit of training!"
::'''All right!''' :''"I knew you’d be up for it! We’ve got to stay keener than anyone else if we want to steal the spotlight from our rivals!"
::'''But why?''' :''"Seriously? This is the moment when you play along and act pumped up for battle! If you’ve gotta ask why we should bother training, you’ll never make it through the Gym Challenge!"

* In Battle
:''"Keep up, mate! This is our chance to see if we are up to the Gym Challenge!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"Typical! Should’ve known you’d mastered type matchups!"
::'''When the player lands a critical hit''' :''"Landing a critical hit like that... You’re pretty tough when you get serious!"
::'''When Hop lets out his last Pokémon''' :''"Backed into a corner? You got it all wrong, mate! This’ll just make my victory all the better!"

::'''After defeating Hop''' :''"Was that really good training? Looks like I’d better keep my guard up!"

* After Battle
:''"Just what I’d expect from my rival! You know what? I’ll even give you one of my League Cards! That’s how good I think you did in that battle."
:''"Our Gym Challenge starts right now—from here in Motostoke! Although the first Gym Leader we’ll have to challenge is in a town way far off from here... Still, you’d better believe I’m going to keep on winning my way to that Championship Match!"
:''"Hello, Galar! Meet your next Champion! From the sleepy town of Postwick—it’s me, Hop!"

;[[Turffield]]
:''"Look! Just take a look at that, <player>! That’s Turffield Stadium down there!"
:''"The Gym Leader just returned, too. Milo’s his name. But the place is jam-packed with challengers. It’ll be ages before our turn comes up..."
:''"Oh... But Sonia was looking for you, <player>. She wanted to ask you something. She tried asking me, but I had no idea. She’s up on that what’s-her-face hill. You know the one."
:''"What? You don’t know the hill? Well, have a look at your map if you’re not sure!"
:''"Oh! If it isn’t Sonia’s Yamper! He’s a good boy. He’ll show you the way!"
::'''If talked to again''' :''"What? You don’t know the hill? Well, have a look at your map if you’re not sure!"
:''"Take a look at this, <player>!"
:''"The Grass Gym Badge! I got it in one try!"
:''"I reckon I’m just about the greatest when it comes to wrangling Wooloo... I’ve had plenty of practice at it, after all!"
:''"But I’m sure you can win this one, too. After all, you are my rival!"

;{{rt|5|Galar}}
:''"There you are, <player>!"
:''"I’m warning you, though... Any closer than that and we’re going to have to have a battle—you and me!"
:''"I warned you! We’re both Gym Challengers who’ve earned ourselves a Grass Badge. This is the perfect training!"

* In Battle
:''"Let’s have a taste of what a Gym Badge holder’s team can do!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"Typical! Should’ve known you’d mastered type matchups!"
::'''When the player lands a critical hit''' :''"Landing a critical hit like that... You’re pretty tough when you get serious!"
::'''When Hop uses a super-effective move''' :''"I’ve learned loads from studying Lee’s battles!"
::'''When Hop sends out his last Pokémon''' :''"Every one of my Pokémon is an ace! This is no problem at all!"

* After Battle
:''"You’ve gotten strong, <player>. Seems I’ve got to train even harder from now on."
:''"Next up is Nessa, the leader of the Water Gym!"

;[[Hulbury]]
:''"All right, mate! You’ve got both the Grass Badge and the Water Badge by now, right? In that case, we’re both headed for Motostoke and the Fire Gym Leader, Kabu! How about I share with you a little tip about that Leader Kabu? From what I heard, he’s holed up now in Galar Mine No. 2, undergoing some special training! If he’s in there, then we can’t take him on in Motostoke even if we zip right over there—putting the brakes on our Gym Challenge. So I say we head to Galar Mine No. 2 ourselves! Let’s go see what all the fuss is about!"

;[[Galar Mine No. 2]]
:''"Well, look at you, <player>!"
:''"Surrounded by adoring fans, eh? You’ll even be showing up Lee pretty soon!"
:''"Yeah? And can’t you see that I’m Hop, the Trainer who’ll be your next Champion?"
:''"You think I’m joking? I’ll prove it, then! And I think a battle with you lot would definitely end with some laughs!"
:''"Let’s take ’em together, <player>! You ready, mate?"
::'''Yes''' :''"The two of us were endorsed by the Champion himself! We’ll show you just what that means!"
::'''No''' :''"Got it! Then get yourself all ready for a good battle!"
:''"Nice one, <player>! That’s my rival for you!"
:''"Now then... Where could Kabu have gone off to? Let’s keep going. Maybe he’s further in!"
:''"That’s Kabu... Man, he’s wicked! No wonder he’s the Fire-type Gym Leader!"
:''"I remember Lee talking about Kabu. He said that a lot of Gym Challengers give up because they just can’t beat Kabu."
:''"Man, now I’m getting all fired up, too!"

;[[Motostoke Outskirts]]
:''"That Carkol from before... I guess it must’ve been here on a job. You do know about Poké Jobs by now, right?"
::'''I do''' :''"Course you do!"
::'''Poké what?''' :''"Looks like there’s no helping it, in that case... Settle down and let professor Hop teach you a thing or two! Let’s see if I can remember what Lee had written down in his old notebooks... Basically, you can have your Pokémon go about and help companies or other folks who are in need of something. You can take Poké Jobs from the Rotomi at any Pokémon Center, so give it a look sometime."
:''"Now I’m cream-cracked! I’m for the Budew Drop Inn and some sleep. Come tomorrow, that Fire Gym Leader Kabu better be ready, because I’ll be coming for him!"

;[[Motostoke]]
* Outside
:''"Slow moving, aren’t you, <player>?"
:''"I’ve already gone and earned my Fire Badge! That man of fire Kabu is just what you’d expect. Nearly got burnt in my battle with him! Even with my strongest team, it was definitely touch-and-go...but I still won in the end!"
:''"Get a shift on, <player>! I bet you could beat the man of fire, too!"

* [[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"Hey, <player>! I was on fire in my battle against Kabu!"
:''"<player>! I figured that if anyone could do it, you and <Pokémon> would be the ones...but still! That match had me right at the edge of my seat!"
:''"With all the Badges we’ve earned ourselves, I reckon we should be all right even against the fierce Pokémon you find deep in the Wild Area. Let’s go find out for ourselves!"

* Outside
:''"Hurry it up, <player>!"
:''"Huh?"
:''"You’re the Gym Leader, but you still came all the way to see us off? Oh, I bet you can already tell that I’m the one who’ll become the next Champion, yeah?"
:''"Thanks, you all! We’re gonna keep winning! We’ve got to if we want to face-off in the Champion Cup, after all!"
:''"Come on, <player>! Let’s head for Hammerlocke!"

;[[East Lake Axewell]]
:''"Hello again, Wild Area, my old friend! I’ve come back to you even stronger than before!"
:''"<player>! Hammerlocke is up that way—got it?"
:''"And, yeah, you could certainly rush straight there without a single detour..."
:''"but now that you and I have a few Gym Badges, we should be able to catch stronger Pokémon!"
:''"So I know what I’m doing. I’ll be catching myself some amazing Pokémon to fill in the next page in the tale of my legend!"
:''"Rubbish. More like you don’t know enough to recognize greatness when you see it. My throws are the greatest, and my bro is the finest Champion the world has ever seen! I’m not gonna listen to you insulting him!"
:''"You’re on then. I know you challenged <player> to battle in Galar Mine No. 2 and lost to him/her there. And I’m his/her greatest rival. In other words...there’s no way you’re beating me."
:''"I’ll show this wally my real skills in battle! So, see you later, <player>! Let’s meet up in Hammerlocke when I’m through with him!"

;{{rt|6|Galar}}
:''"Oh, hey, <player>. You’re heading to Stow-on-Side, right?"
:''"Oi, Team Yell. Don’t suppose you’ll let us through?"
:''"Right..."
:''"What do you say, <player>? If we don’t get past them, we won’t be able to continue our Gym Challenge at Stow-on-Side..."
::'''I'll battle them!''' :''"You... Yeah, that’s the spirit!"
::'''Let me think...''' :''"I don’t figure thinking at them is going to change much about the situation. What else you got?"
:''"Think I’ll leave this to you, <player>. Keep up the pace."
:''"<player>... You and <Pokémon> were brilliant together!"
:''"See, Bede really wiped the floor with me the last time we battled... And don’t get me wrong—I can take a loss! Battling means you’ve got to lose sometimes."
:''"But he said that I was dragging Lee’s good name through the mud, being so rubbish like I was... And I just can’t get those words out of my head!"
:''"If I’m weak, then people’ll think Lee’s weak, too... But I don’t want that! I can’t let Lee get dragged down! He’s the unbeatable Champion! I’m gonna have to take some time figuring this out. See you around, <player>..."

;[[Stow-on-Side]]
:''"<player>..."
:''"I’m still not too sure what I should do about all that stuff I told you before... About me being weak and dragging down Lee’s good name and all, yeah?"
:''"But the only think I can do is get stronger, right? So I’m gonna try out all kinds of different things against you and see what works!"
::'''You're on!''' :''"Then let’s do this! I bet an all-out battle with my true rival will help me get my head on straight!"
::'''Wait a second...''' :''"What? Your rival is depressed over here, and you won’t lift a finger to help?"

* In Battle
:''"All I’m after is victory, and I’m counting on you to help me grab it!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"Who wouldn’t aim for a supereffective hit if they had the chance, right?"
::'''When Hop lands a super-effective move''' :''"How’s that? Supereffective damage! I’m always looking for an opening!"
::'''When the player lands a critical hit''' :''"Ouch! Even I hurt when you manage to land a critical hit like that one!"
::'''When Hop lets out his last Pokémon''' :''"I don’t know what I can do to try to win now... but all I can do is try! There nothing else for it!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's same-type move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Razor Leaf]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Water Pulse]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Flame Charge]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''After defeating Hop''' :''"My strategy goes right to pot when I’ve got all these bad thoughts running through my head..."

* After Battle
:''"Hrmmm... I tried switching my team members in and out to max out their potential in every matchup, but... We just couldn’t get it together somehow... Maybe that’s why I’m still so weak..."
:''"But Lee really is the greatest Trainer! And I don’t want people to be laughing at him all because his little brother is rubbish!"
:''"It’s not enough! I’ve got to try harder! And harder and harder till no one’s laughing! I’m off, mate! Off to find the kind of Pokémon that I can really draw the strength out of!"

;[[Hammerlocke]]
:''"Oh! <player>!
:''"First that forest, then that mad quiz... I’ve been lost in every sense of the word! But it looks like I’ve finally caught up to you again."
:''"Come with me to Route 7! I could use a bit of competition to motivate me!"

;{{rt|7|Galar}}
:''"All right, <player>! You and I both know I’ve got to keep on trying different strategies if I’m gonna get strong enough to catch up to Lee... No! Not just catch up! If I want to surpass him!"
:''"So I think you know what’s coming, mate... Let me try out my latest in a battle against you!"

* In Battle
:''"All right! Time for me to test exactly how far I can go with my latest and greatest team!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"The way you battle… You know, it kind of reminds me of Lee!"
::'''When Hop uses a super-effective move''' :''"How’d you like that attack?! Now I really feel like we’re getting somewhere!"
::'''When Hop lands a critical hit''' :''"Considered the possibility your opponent might land a critical hit on your Pokémon, mate?"
::'''When Hop lets out his last Pokémon''' :''"I’m the kind of guy who gets fired up to win in these situations!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's signature move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Drum Beating]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Snipe Shot]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Pyro Ball]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''After defeating Hop''' :''"This is rubbish... My team can’t perform if I can’t get my own head straight as their Trainer..."

* After Battle
:''"Before we ever started out on this journey... I remember watching Lee on the telly. He was like a bright star, so strong I could hardly bear to look right at him. But now, I can tell just how strong he really is... And what he’s got that I haven’t..."
:''"But I’m getting stronger, too. Maybe not as fast as you, but fine. Whatever! Thanks for letting me battle you again. And here. I’ll heal up your team for you, too!"
:''"I think I know what it is I really want... I want to battle Lee—I want to take on my bro. But not just that, I want to beat him! I want to be the one who beats the unbeatable Champion! And I’m going to! My mind’s made up! You and me are going to have another battle once I get my Gym Badge in Circhester!"

;[[Circhester]]
* [[Circhester Stadium]]
:''"Arghhh! I lost! It all went to pot!"
:''"There must’ve been something wrong with my strategy, but I did just what I’ve seen Lee do in battles! Here! Take it! It’s the Rock{{sup/8|Sw}}/Ice{{sup/8|Sh}} Leader’s League Card. You should check out the Gym Leader you’ll have to face, too."
:''"And me... I’ve gotta figure out what to put on my team once and for all, and no more of this doubting!"

* Bob’s Your Uncle
:''"Got that Gym Badge, <player>? Nice one!"
:''"Based on those statues we saw back in Stow-on-Side, the sword and the shield were actually two Pokémon, right?"
:''"You remember the Pokémon we met that day? Do you think...it could’ve been one of them? Either the sword or the shield Pokémon?"
:''"Come on! You know what I’m talking about, right, <player>?"
::'''In the Slumbering Weald?''' :''"Exactly! The mad Pokémon we ran into in the fog! Don’t you think that could’ve been it?"
::'''I really don't''' :''"Not so sharp when it’s not about battle, huh? Don’t you remember that mad Pokémon we ran into in the fog that day? Don’t you think that could’ve been it?"

* Hero's Bath
:''"What, like some hero waving around a sword and shield? Pull the other one. Though...I guess I’d fancy a shield{{sup/8|Sw}}/sword{{sup/8|Sh}}, if I had to take my pick."
:''"Why don’t we show her, <player>! Think we can pull off a real heroic battle?"
::'''Absolutely?''' :''"Sonia treated us to a great meal. After that curry, I feel like I’ve got the energy to wrestle a Bewear!"
::''"Time for a little exhibition match, starring the future Champion!"
::'''Give me a minute...''' :''"All right, I get it. Prepare as much as you like!"

* In Battle
:''"I’m counting on you, partner!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"Now that’s a proper move!"
::'''When the player lands a critical hit''' :''"Steady on, partner! I feel your pain, and we’ll get them back for it!"
::'''When Hop lets out his last Pokémon''' :''"Think you’ve got me cornered? Not even close! It’ll be the greatest when I steal this win back!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's signature move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"

:''"<player>!"
:''"This is mad... You know what I mean?"
::'''Where's Leon?/What was that loud noise?''' :''"That’s what I’d like to know! That noise—it was like some massive explosion! There was this huge surge of red light, and then wild Pokémon just started Dynamaxing around me, brazen as you like!"
:''"Take a look at the news!"
:''"See! There’s Lee! He really is the greatest, right?"
:''"Lee and his Charizard took down that Dynamax Pokémon in the blink of an eye!"
:''"I knew Lee was strong, but this! Really makes you appreciate how great he is, eh? Let’s go meet up with him, <player>! He should be at Hammerlocke Stadium!"

:''"Over here!"
:''"Yeah, but why?"
:''"Hey, do you reckon there’s anything we could do to help out?"
:''"Right. Course! You’re the unbeatable Champion, after all, eh?"
:''"I know what I need to do, all right—defeat that Piers once and for all! You’re off to Hammerlocke Stadium, yeah, <player>? Raihan’s a tough nut to crack!"

* [[Hammerlocke Stadium]]
:''"Raihan! I’m here to see just how good you are!"
:''"I’ve tried out lots of different strategies, and I’ve made up my mind about how I want to battle. I’m not gonna lose! I’m gonna beat you, and <player>, and even Lee!"

* Train Station
:''"Wait up, <player>! I’m coming, too! I had Raihan beat in no time! Once I got my head on straight and stopped doubting every decision I made, that is... Heh!"
:''"I reckon I’m still the favorite to win, but I’m up against my true rival, <player>... So I’ll wring out every last thing I learned during my battle with you, Raihan, to beat him/her! So get a move on, <player>! The train’s waiting!"

* On the Train
:''"We’re finally headed for Wyndon! There’s a lot I want to check out there. There’s that big tower...and the monorail... And Wyndon Stadium, where the whole of Galar—no, the whole world is gonna be watching us!"
:''"You get it, right? You and me are gonna make our match there the greatest match that ever was!"

;{{rt|10|Galar}}
:''"So this is Route 10! It’s like a wall made out of snow!"
:''"Bet there’ll be Ice-type Pokémon crawling out of the woodwork in a place like this!"
:''"Come on, <player>! Reckon we’ll be able to train ourselves up to new heights here, before the Champion Cup starts?"
:''"I believe in myself and the Pokémon on my team, and I know we’ll all get loads stronger!"
:''"So I’m off! See you in Wyndon, mate!"

===In Pokémon: Twilight Wings===
Hop made a cameo appearance in ''[[TW01|Letter]]'', where he tied a friendship bracelet to the right foreleg of his {{p|Wooloo}}. He briefly reappeared in ''[[TW02|Training]]'', where he and his Wooloo were watching television.

Hop then appeared more prominently in ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', where he was revealed to be watching television with Wooloo so he could study [[Leon]]'s technique and figure out how to become stronger. However, his admiration of Leon's {{p|Charizard}} caused Wooloo to run away. This prompted Hop to desperately search around town for it. By the end of the episode, Hop was reunited with Wooloo, whereupon he promised it that they will both challenge the Pokémon League together, and assured that it was perfect the way it was.

Wooloo then appeared prominently in ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', where it became jealous of Hop's admiration of [[Leon]]'s {{p|Charizard}} and ran away from home. It eventually jumped off a cliff to try and fly like Charizard, only to fail. Wooloo was subsequently found by [[Milo]], who sent Wooloo home on the [[Flying Taxi]].

'''Hop''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|V Starter Sets}} before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion, with artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It allows the player to draw three cards, the same effect as cards of previous rivals.

==Trivia==
* Hop's uniform number is "189", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 飛躍 ''hiyaku'', meaning "leaping".
* Hop is the only rival in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}} not to become a [[Gym Leader]] by the end of the games.

'''Hop''' (Japanese: '''ホップ''' ''Hop'') is one of the [[rival]] characters in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the others being [[Bede]] and [[Marnie]].

==In the games==
Hop is the {{player}}'s neighbor and [[rival]]. His goal is to become the {{pkmn|Champion}}, just like his brother [[Leon]]. Hop starts his {{pkmn|journey}} with his [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]], {{p|Wooloo}}, and the [[starter Pokémon]] weak to the player's choice. After meeting a mysterious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Slumbering Weald]] and receiving an [[endorsement]] from Leon, Hop and the player board the train to [[Motostoke]], and their respective journeys begin. While an outwardly earnest boy, Hop's dreams are cast into doubt after a crushing defeat at the hands of [[Bede]] soon after earning his {{badge|Fire}}, compounded by frequent losses to the player and the pressure of following in his brother's footsteps. Believing he is making his brother look weak, Hop begins using different teams to get stronger but still comes up short, losing his first challenge at [[Circhester Stadium]].

After the player wins at Circhester Stadium, Hop and the player learn more about the mysterious Pokémon of Slumbering Weald and their relationship to the hero. Motivated, Hop tells the player he has made up his mind and will no longer doubt himself, challenging them with his new, final team led by his newly-evolved {{p|Dubwool}}. Hop completes his Gym challenge and eventually meets the player as their second opponent in the Champion Cup in [[Wyndon Stadium]]. He is eventually defeated, and while visibly upset, Hop congratulates the player.

After the semifinals, Hop and the player search for Leon, who said he would be at the Rose of the Ronderlands hotel to join the two for dinner, but he did not show up. With the help of [[Piers]], [[Marnie]], and [[Team Yell]], the player and Hop pursue a member of [[Macro Cosmos]] to [[Rose Tower]], where they find Leon having a discussion with [[Chairman Rose]] at the top. Hop later appears to congratulate the player for clearing the final round of the Champion Cup, and after some encouragement by his starter Pokémon, he decides he is going to cheer for them over his brother. However, after Rose interrupts the Championship match, Hop suggests heading towards the Slumbering Weald to stop the return of {{p|Eternatus}} and the [[Darkest Day]].

In the deepest parts of the Weald, the player and Hop are unable to find the mysterious Pokémon they once saw, and instead, they discover a [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield]]. Hop takes the Shield{{sup/8|Sw}}/Sword{{sup/8|Sh}} and make way to the [[Energy Plant]] in [[Hammerlocke]]. After defeating Rose, the player and Hop join Leon, who tries and fails to catch Eternatus. After the player knocks it out, Eternatus turns into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Eternatus|Eternamax}} Eternatus. Hop joins the player in a [[Max Raid Battle]] against it, but they are unable to do anything until they use the Rusted Sword and Shield to summon {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}. Through the combined efforts of Hop and the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} heroes, the player can catch and stop Eternatus.

After becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player meets Hop again in the Slumbering Weald where Zacian and Zamazenta once slept, saying he felt compelled to come there. After congratulating the player and having another battle, the player and Hop attempt to return the Rusted Sword and Shield, but are stopped by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who attempt to steal the artifacts. The player successfully reclaims their artifact in a {{pkmn|battle}} with Sordward{{sup/8|Sw}}/Shielbert{{sup/8|Sh}}, but Hop is defeated by the other brother and loses his artifact. Feeling responsible, Hop quickly pursues the brothers, who are causing Trainers' Pokémon to [[Dynamax]] by force and run amok in [[Gym|Stadiums]]. While helping the Pokémon in Max Raid Battles with the player, Piers, and the other Gym Leaders, Hop expresses newfound doubts, thinking he is only dragging his friends down.

Hop and the player eventually corner the brothers at the Energy Plant, where they drive Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} into a berserk state by exposing it to Dynamax energy. The player defeats it in battle, and the Legendary Pokémon runs off after nearly attacking Hop, who was trying to help it. Hop goes after it, leaving Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}} in the hands of the player, who is challenged by the other Legendary Pokémon. After the player catches Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}}, they go back to the Slumbering Weald, where they see Hop soothing a distraught Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}}. Thankful, the Legendary hero offers to join Hop's team. Hop then declares he has a new dream; to become a [[Pokémon Professor]] to help people as he did during the past incidents, but he also says that he will always see the player as a rival. With that, he and the player have one more battle, with Hop using his new Legendary partner. After the battle, [[Sonia]] offers Hop a position as her [[Professors' aides|assistant]] to help with his studies, which he accepts.

After the post-game story, Hop can be [[rematch]]ed as one of the challengers of the Champion Cup. This time, he uses a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Corviknight}}. While not battling, he can be found in Sonia's laboratory at [[Wedgehurst]].

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Hop's [[League Card]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
;Normal League Card
:"This [[Pokémon Trainer]] got endorsed to take part in the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] by his brother—the reigning {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Leon]]. Hop claims to have watched all Leon's matches. Commentators speculate that as a result, he might be quite the force to be reckoned with. The Champion himself has said that his brother has potential, but his carefully hoarded knowledge can go to waste as he tends to get easily flustered in battle. It's said that Hop's partner {{p|Wooloo}} is a great help to him both in battle and with chores around the house."
;Rare League Card
:"This Trainer ultimately was defeated in the final match of the Champion Cup Semifinals. However, many [[Gym Leader]]s speak highly of his battle style, where he will let his Pokémon battle freely and really enjoy themselves. During the incident with {{p|Eternatus}}, he provided vital assistance in resolving the situation, proving beyond doubt that he is a skilled Trainer in his own right. It is expected that his battles with {{player|the new Champion}} will be the stuff of legend."

;[[Postwick]]
* At Player's House
:''"Hello, hello!"
:''"Oh! That your flash new phone, <player>?"
:''"Were you watching Lee's exhibition match on it? But you can't cheer him on with your hands full! You know the only way to properly cheer on Lee would be with his famous Charizard pose! "
:''"Yeah, that's exactly why I came running over to get <player>! Never mind watching the match now! I've got it recording at home anyway. I record all my brother's matches."
:''"Come with me, <player>! He should be here any minute! And Lee always brings presents when he visits, so I wouldn't forget that Bag if I were you!"
:''"Now I've got to run! See you at mine later!

* Outside of Player's House
:''"Hahaha! Have a look at you, <player>! That old Bag looks like it could pull you over! At least we know that it should hold anything Lee might bring, even if it's as big as a Snorlax!"
:''"A Wooloo... But what's it doing there?"
:''"Hey! You silly Wooloo! I see what you're up to! Don't go using Tackle on the fencing! Now, you listen! No going past that fence! No! Everyone knows there are scary Pokémon living in the Slumbering Weald!"
:''"Now that that's taken care of... How about it, <player>? Let's race! Bet I can make it to my house first, what with you lugging about that big old Bag!"

* Hop's House
:''"Mum! Is he here?!"
:''"Yeah, yeah, but where's Lee? Have you got him crammed in a cupboard?"
:''"Then that's where I'm going! You know Lee is hopeless with directions. I'll make sure he doesn't get lost on the way!"
:''"You've got the come with, <player>. You've still never met my big bro, right? You can't miss out on your chance to meet the undefeated Champion! I'll wait for you out on the route!"

* Outside
:''"Let's get a move on! Only remember, <player>... Wild Pokémon could come out of nowhere if you walk through patches of tall grass. I've got my Wooloo with me, so I'm ready for battles against wild Pokémon, of course. But not you, <player>! So we'll steer clear of the tall grass as we go."

;{{rt|1|Galar}}
:''"Let's go and meet Lee at the station! It's dead ahead from here!"
::'''If the player walks into the grass''' : ''"No wandering in that tall grass for you if you got no Pokémon of your own, mate!"

;[[Wedgehurst]]
:''"Lee!"
:''"Bingo! That's the sort of sharp eye that's kept you undefeated so long, eh, Lee?"
:''"Come on, Lee! And you, <player>!"
:''"Bet I can beat the both of you back home!"

;[[Postwick]]
* Leon giving the player and Hop their [[Starter Pokémon]]
:''"Come on, Lee! You promised us a present! So out with it! You brought <player> and me Pokémon. You did, didn't you? I know you must have!"
:''"Go on—you pick first. I've already got my Wooloo, after all."
::'''If the player tries to leave without choosing''' : ''"Where are you going, <player>?! You haven't chosen a Pokémon yet!"
::'''Grookey''' : ''"So it'll be Grookey for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Sobble! You're mine!"
::'''Scorbunny''' : ''"So it'll be Scorbunny for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Grookey! You're mine!"
::'''Sobble''' : ''"So it'll be Sobble for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Scorbunny! You're mine!"
:''"I'm aiming to be the next champion, so be ready! You and I'll be doing some serious training!"

* The next day
:''"Course I have, Lee! <player>'s made fast friends with his/her Grookey/Scorbunny/Sobble, too."
:''"What're you looking at him/her for, Lee? I'm the one who'll be coming to challenge you! If you think <player> might be able to challenge you, then I guess he's/she's my first rival! But I'm not planning to lose to him/her and miss out on my chance to beat the unbeatable Champion!"
:''"Just having a Pokémon with you doesn't make you a real Trainer, you know. Proper Trainers raise their Pokémon up to be first-rate in battle, too!"
::'''If the player said No to battling''' : ''"Me and Sobble/Grookey/Scorbunny are ready to have a go at you anytime!"
::'''If the player tries to leave without battling''' : ''"And where do you think you're off to, then? We're having a battle — you and me!"
::'''If the player said Yes to battling''' : ''"I've watched every match that Lee's ever had! I've read every book and magazine he left behind at home, too! I know exactly what to do in order to win!"

* In battle
:''"A Pokémon battle it is, then! I've got two partners with me!"
::'''After Wooloo faints''' : ''"It's not ever yet! I've added another trusty ally to my team!"
::'''After player lands a Super-Effective hit on Hop's starter''' : ''"Did you already know about type advantages!?"
::'''If the player hits a Critical Hit on either of Hop's Pokemon''': ''"A critical hit? What kind of beginner's luck is that?!"''
::'''If the player defeats Hop''' :''"You beat my two Pokémon with your one?! You and that Grookey/Scorbunny/Sobble are too much!"

* After battle
::'''If Hop defeated the player''' :''"Sorry, mate. Even if you did get your Pokémon direct from a champ like Lee, looks like I’m still the greatest!"
::'''If the Player defeated Hop''' :''"Well, that was a shock! Guess I know now why Lee thought he should give you a Pokémon, too..."
:''"I already want to get stronger and stronger! You've seen me battle now, Lee, so come on—— you've gotta let me take on the [[Pokémon Gyms]]!"
:''"Right, right, we get it... Pokédexes, then! We're on it! Looks likes it's off to the Pokémon Research Lab for you and me, <player>!"
:''"I'm going to be the next Champion, so completing a simple Pokédex will be nothing! Just another page in the tale of my legend! You'd probably better go tell your mum that we're heading out, though."
:''"<player>! Did you hear that just now?"
:''"The gate's open! And the Wooloo that was there..."
:''"It was tackling the fence pretty hard earlier. You don't think it actually broke through there, do you?"
:''"But it's off limits! Nobody's supposed to go in there! I remember the professor's granddaughter went in once, and she came back in a real state... And that was nothing compared to the earful she got from the professor afterward! <player>... What do you say?"
::'''We've got to save it!''' : ''"Right? Even if we're not supposed to, this is the kind of scene where you simply have to do what's needed!"
::'''I don't know...''' : ''"Right... No one wants to get in trouble, least of all me. But deep down you want to save that Pokémon, too, don’t you?"
:''"Hope you're ready for anything, because we're going in, <player>!"
::'''If the player tries to leave''' : ''"The Slumbering Weald is over this way! Let’s go find that Wooloo!"
::'''If talked to again''' : ''"Come on, <player>! We can't just leave that Pokémon on its own!"

;[[Slumbering Weald]]
:''"That Wooloo… Where do you think it got off to?"
:''"The fog is really coming on thick now... If we don't find that Pokémon soon, this might be trouble."
::'''If the player tries to leave''' : ''"Be serious, would you? We’ve got to go look for that Pokémon!"
:''"Doing all right there, Grooky/Scorbunny/Sobble? Let's be sure you're in tip-top shape."
:''"There. Now let's push on!"
:''"Did you hear that? Was that a Pokémon crying out, you think?!"
:''"Come on, <player>! That Wooloo might be in real trouble!"
::'''If the player tries to leave''' :''"Hey! <player>! Not trying to ditch me in here, are you?"
:''"This is mad... I can't even see my own hand in front of my face! I think I get now why this place is off-limits..."
:''"What in the——?!"

* In battle
::'''After attacking''' : ''"Wha—?! The move had no effect on it?!
::'''After attacking again''' : ''"<player>! I can't see anything! You OK?!"
::'''After attacking a third time''' :''"I can’t see anything!"
:''"Uwaaaaaah!"

*After battle
:''"Wha—? Lee? How’d you manage to find your way here? You’re pants with directions. You always get lost."
:''"Wait, where’s the Wooloo?! We were trying to rescue that Wooloo!"
:''"And at least that Wooloo’s all right… Yeah, Name? I thought we’d had it when that weird fog started rolling in and that mad Pokémon attacked… but at least it wasn’t all for nothing!"
:''"It seemed loads stronger than any Pokémon I’ve ever seen. And it just had this sort of presence… Our moves didn’t even touch it. I mean, really— they seemed to pass right through it!"
:''"Even if we did get an earful from Lee…what an experience! This’ll make a pretty fine first page in the tale of my legend!"

;[[Postwick]]
*Outside of Player's House
:''"Don’t forget to tell your mum we’re off to Wedgehurst now. She’ll go spare if you leave without a word—even worse than Lee just did!"
::'''If the player tries to leave''' : ''"You did tell your mum that we’re heading to Wedgehurst, right? She’ll go spare if you disappear without a word."

;{{rt|1|Galar}}
:''"Here we go! This is quite the big step, you know. My first step toward becoming the next Champion!"
:''"Guess I’ll probably train up Sobble/Grooky/Scorbunny a bit by having it battle against Pokémon in the tall grass."
:''"You should get yourself to the building with the purple roof and the great red and white ball mark out on front. That’s the Pokémon research Lab!"

;[[Wedgehurst]]
* After getting the Pokédex
:''"Got your Pokédex from Sonia? Then it’s time to meet lots of different Pokémon and start building up a strong team! But battling strong Pokémon in the wild can leave your team in a bad way. Not to mention what battling another Trainer can do… Luckily, we’ve got Pokémon Centers!"
:''"Luckier yet, they’re dead easy to spot. They look the same wherever you go."
:''"Come on, <player>. Bet you’ve never been inside one!"

* Pokémon Center
:''"Level with me, <player>. Is this your first time in a Pokémon Center?
::'''Yes...''' :''"Then the future Champion’s got you covered! First things first—you talk to the lady at the counter if you want your Pokémon healed up. And Pokémon you catch are kept in computers like the one you can find here, see? After all, you can only bring six Pokémon with you on the road in your party. The Potions they sell at the Poké Mart got me out of a real rough spot the other day!"
::'''Of course not''' :''"Then I don’t think you need me to tell you what you already know."
:''"Cheers! I’m already good, though. I’m heading to Route 2, <player>! Come find me, maybe, when you’re done here!"

* Outside
:''"Listen, <player>. I’ve been thinking... If you’re a Pokémon Trainer now, you must want to try your hand at the Gym Challenge, right?"
::'''The Gym Challenge?/What's that?''' :''"The Gym Challenge, mate! The annual competition where Trainers can battle it out for the right to challenge the Champion! But the trick is that you’ve got to be endorsed if you want to take part. And Lee doesn’t seem to think I’m up to snuff… So I’m thinking I ought to talk to the professor and see if she could help! You’ve got to take part, too! A proper rival is just the thing every Trainer needs to keep growing stronger, after all. Keeps you motivated, right? The professor’s house is way down at the end of Route 2, so let’s head there…and give our teams the chance to train up a bit along the way!"

;{{rt|2|Galar}}
:''"Over here, <player>!"
:''"All right, <player>? It’s time we filled in out teams a bit—"
:''"Lee?! Where’d you come from?"

* After the catching tutorial
:''"Typical Lee!"
:''"The Pokémon on your team will get Exp. Points when you catch Pokémon, too."
:''"All right! I’m gonna catch loads of Pokémon. The professor will be shocked when she sees!"

* Outside Magnolia's House
:''"Look! There’s the professor!"

* Magnolia's House
:''"Hey, Professor, do us a favor, would you? Help me convince Lee he should endorse us for the Gym Challenge!"
:''"Right! I’ll be waiting outside, <player>!"

* Outside
:''"Hurry it up, <player>! You’ve gotta battle me so I can get myself that endorsement!"
::'''if the player tries to leave''' :''"Hurry it up, <player>! You’ve gotta battle me so I can get myself that endorsement!"
:''"I’m going to become the greatest Pokémon Trainer there is! And to do that, I need that endorsement to take part in the Gym Challenge! Come at me with everything you have so we can prove to Lee that we’ve got what it takes!"
::'''Of course''' :''"It’s time for my legend to begin!"
::'''I need to prepare''' :''"Oh, fine... Guess I can wait a bit."

* In battle
:''"Have you gotten a bit stronger? Me and my team will put you to the test and see!"
::'''After player lands a Super-Effective hit''' :''"Well, look at you! Seems you’ve really learned your type matchups!"
::'''After player lands a Critical Hit''' :''"You landed a critical hit on my Pokémon?! You’ve got plenty of spirit—that’s for sure!"
::'''When Hop sends out his last Pokémon''' :''"It’ll be a close one! But that’s exactly my sort of match!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's same-type move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Branch Poke]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Water Gun]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Ember]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''If the player defeats Hop''' :''"Oof! Gutted that I lost… But I’d expect nothing less from my rival!"

* After battle
::'''If Hop defeated the player for a second time''' :''"Undefeated! And my Pokémon’s moves were seriously on point!"
::'''If Hop beat the player for the first time''' :''"Hah! See that! I knew I could do it. Am I ever glad I could beat you this time!"
::'''If the player defeated Hop''' :''"And I even got my Poké Ball throw perfect, too!"
:''"The sting of defeat and joy of victory... I guess going through both is the key to the two of us getting stronger, right?"
:''"Yes! Thanks, Lee! I swear I’m going to win my way through the Gym Challenge to reach you!"
:''"All right, <player>! You and me are going to train up against one another to aim for that Champion’s title!"
::'''Absolutely!''' :''"The more we keep battling against one another, the more our Pokémon will grow."
::'''Against one another?''' :''"That’s the way of it when you’ve got a great rival! Just like you’ve got me, and I’ve got you!"
:''"Huh? What’s that?!"
:''"<player>! Would you look at this? They’re Wishing Stars! Since there are two of them, you should take one yourself!"
:''"With one of those, my Pokémon can Dynamax! They’re gonna be massive! YES!"
:''"I will be the greatest Trainer ever! I WILL be the greatest Trainer ever! I WILL BE THE GREATEST TRAINER EVER!!! There! I’ve said it three times, so surely my wish will come true now, right?"
:''"Ah, right. You’ve done heaps of research on the Dynamax phenomenon, haven’t you, Professor? Then please! Give <player> and me the power to Dynamax our Pokémon!"
:''"First we got to battle against that mad Pokémon in the Slumbering Weald, and now this... It really feels like we’re getting caught up in the adventure of a lifetime!"

* The next morning, inside Magnolia's House
:''"It’s morning at last! And time for our adventure to truly start!"
:''"Er, well, there was weird heavy fog, and then this even weirder Pokémon appeared... <player> tried to fight it off! But then I think we both passed out or something. It’s all pretty hazy."
:''"Thanks, Professor! This is brilliant! It’s just like the one Lee has on him, too. Now we can Dynamax our Pokémon like he does!"
:''"The legend of my reign is finally about to begin!"
:''"Come on, <player>! I’ll beat you to the station!"

* Outside
:''"One last thing before we race, <player>. See, I’ve got some great advice for you!"
:''"You know how you sometimes see Pokémon wandering about out of the tall grass, yeah?"
:''"If you move real slow like, and crouch down, those Pokémon won’t pay you any notice."
:''"But on the other hand... If you whistle at them, you’ll be SURE to catch their attention!"
:''"If you’re a bit rubbish as whistling, just remember this: "Need a fail-proof trick? Press the Left Stick!""
:''"Try it out, and let’s see who can catch the most Pokémon, <player>!"
:''"You remember Wedgehurst Station, right? Where we went to pick up Lee before. That’ll be the goal, so see you there!"

;[[Wedgehurst]]
:''"Come on, <player>! You’ll never beat me to the station at that pace!"
:''"So, out with it, <player>! How many did you catch? I caught a really special one!"
::'''If the player did not catch any Pokémon''' :''"And you got... Not one?! What were you doing this whole time? You’re going to want a team if you’re a Trainer!"
::'''If the player caught one Pokémon''' :''"And you’ve got yourself... Ooh, just one! Looks like we’re at a draw. Though we are rivals and all, so that’s fair!"
::'''If the player caught multiple Pokémon''' :''"But look at how many you caught! You’re well on your way to building a fine team."
:''"That’s a technical machine! A TM, mate! With a TM like that, you can teach your Pokémon a new move in a flash. And you can use them again and again, too. That one can teach the move Swift. Lee gave it to me ages ago, and now it’s yours."
:''"The Gym Challenge will begin in Motostoke! And our train’s waiting, so let’s go!"

* Train Station
:''"What’re you doing here, Mum?"
:''"Thanks, Mum. And just think how lucky you are—mother to the first ever pair of Champion brothers! Because I’m certain to be the Champion next. You’ll see!"
:''"Wish us luck! Not that we’ll need it."
:''"There are loads of brilliant Trainers and all kinds of Pokémon out there waiting for us! My excitement’s running ahead of me even faster than that train can go, Name! Come on! We’re off!"

* On the Train
:''"Motostoke is surrounded by a vast Wild Area! It’s a real sight. There’re all sorts of wild Pokémon just wandering about—everywhere you look! Plus, you can camp out, do a spot of fishing... I don’t think I could ever get tired of it!"

;[[Meetup Spot]]
* Inside Station
:''"Hey, Mr. Station Master! Isn’t this the Wild Area? What’re we stopped here for?"
:''"What’s there to be sorry about? This is brilliant!"
::'''Brilliant?/What is?''' :''"This Wild Area is massive! There are loads of Pokémon to battle here! You get it, don’t you, <player>? This is the best possible place to put together the greatest team!"

* Outside
:''"Look at that!"
:''"That’s Motostoke, way off that way!"
:''"And between there and here are countless new Pokémon waiting to be met!"
:''"Oh, hello. And if it isn’t Sonia."
:''"Yikes... Being an adult has got its own challengers, eh?"
:''"Well, I’m off to go stick my head in as many of those red glowing dens as I can find. I’m going to battle the snot out of a bunch of Dynamax Pokémon and fill in another page in the tale of my legend!"

;[[Motostoke]]
* Outside
:''"You made it, too?"
:''"Motostoke Stadium... This is where the opening ceremony will be held."
:''"Everyone’ll be watching the opening ceremony for the Gym Challenge... My mum... Your mum... The whole world!"
:''"It’s getting me a bit nervous, really... Naw, this isn’t nerves... I’m only trembling because I’m so excited!"
:''"Come on, <player>! It’s time the world learned our names!"

* [[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"Would you take a look at this... The place is packed with Gym Challengers! Every one of these folks is another rival!"
:''"Let’s get signed up!"
:''"Seriously? What a piece of work..."
:''"Well, now you’ve had two, because I am as well!"
:''"I’m Hop! I’m Leon’s little brother, in fact. And the next Champion. Get me all signed up, would you?"
:''"That’s the League Chairman for you! Even booked us all hotel rooms! I’m off to check out the fancy digs!"

* Budew Drop Inn
:''"Oh hey, Sonia! What’re you doing at our hotel?"
:''"What’s this, then?"
:''"Huh... I suppose that hero must’ve been about as strong as Lee, then! Looks like you’re going to have your hands full with plenty to research, though, Sonia. Black storms and swords and shields and all..."
:''"Probably so! And we’ll look out for you, too, Sonia. If we hear anything about any hero or whatnot, we’ll tell you!"
:''"I wasn’t expecting checking in would be such a big fuss, <player>! What’s going on? Sneaking in some Pokémon battles without me?"
:''"Don’t think you can get ahead of me that easily... I need to get some training in, so I’m joining! Here, I’ll even heal up your Pokémon, too."
:''"I’m Hop, one of this year’s Gym Challengers! And the one who’s gonna be the next Champion! Now let’s have us a nice two-on-two!"
:''"So you’re a Gym Challenger, too? Team Yell, was it? Pretty impressive that you already have a set of fans to call your own!"
::'''If talked to at any point''' :''"I guess we probably should head to the front desk to get checked in."
* The next morning
:''"Morning!"
:''"So this is it... Now my legend really begins!"
:''"Watch out, <player>! I’ll beat you to Motostoke Stadium!"

* [[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"I can’t wait for the first match! Pretty soon I’ll have so man fans, I’ll have to fight 'em off like Lee does!"
:''"Standing there on the pitch...in the stadium...in front of everyone! There’s really no words for it, but... I can barely contain myself! My heart’s racing!"
:''"Let’s do it, <player>! You know the Gym Challenge has a set order that you’ve gotta visit the Gyms in, right? The first is in Turffield! And to get there, we need to head to Route 3!"

* Outside
:''"There you are! I’ve been waiting! Let’s have a battle, you and me. We’ll get in a bit of training!"
::'''All right!''' :''"I knew you’d be up for it! We’ve got to stay keener than anyone else if we want to steal the spotlight from our rivals!"
::'''But why?''' :''"Seriously? This is the moment when you play along and act pumped up for battle! If you’ve gotta ask why we should bother training, you’ll never make it through the Gym Challenge!"

* In Battle
:''"Keep up, mate! This is our chance to see if we are up to the Gym Challenge!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"Typical! Should’ve known you’d mastered type matchups!"
::'''When the player lands a critical hit''' :''"Landing a critical hit like that... You’re pretty tough when you get serious!"
::'''When Hop lets out his last Pokémon''' :''"Backed into a corner? You got it all wrong, mate! This’ll just make my victory all the better!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's same-type move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Branch Poke]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Water Gun]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Ember]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''After defeating Hop''' :''"Was that really good training? Looks like I’d better keep my guard up!"

* After Battle
:''"Just what I’d expect from my rival! You know what? I’ll even give you one of my League Cards! That’s how good I think you did in that battle."
:''"Our Gym Challenge starts right now—from here in Motostoke! Although the first Gym Leader we’ll have to challenge is in a town way far off from here... Still, you’d better believe I’m going to keep on winning my way to that Championship Match!"
:''"Hello, Galar! Meet your next Champion! From the sleepy town of Postwick—it’s me, Hop!"

;[[Turffield]]
:''"Look! Just take a look at that, <player>! That’s Turffield Stadium down there!"
:''"The Gym Leader just returned, too. Milo’s his name. But the place is jam-packed with challengers. It’ll be ages before our turn comes up..."
:''"Oh... But Sonia was looking for you, <player>. She wanted to ask you something. She tried asking me, but I had no idea. She’s up on that what’s-her-face hill. You know the one."
:''"What? You don’t know the hill? Well, have a look at your map if you’re not sure!"
:''"Oh! If it isn’t Sonia’s Yamper! He’s a good boy. He’ll show you the way!"
::'''If talked to again''' :''"What? You don’t know the hill? Well, have a look at your map if you’re not sure!"
:''"Take a look at this, <player>!"
:''"The Grass Gym Badge! I got it in one try!"
:''"I reckon I’m just about the greatest when it comes to wrangling Wooloo... I’ve had plenty of practice at it, after all!"
:''"But I’m sure you can win this one, too. After all, you are my rival!"

;{{rt|5|Galar}}
:''"There you are, <player>!"
:''"I’m warning you, though... Any closer than that and we’re going to have to have a battle—you and me!"
:''"I warned you! We’re both Gym Challengers who’ve earned ourselves a Grass Badge. This is the perfect training!"

* In Battle
:''"Let’s have a taste of what a Gym Badge holder’s team can do!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"Typical! Should’ve known you’d mastered type matchups!"
::'''When the player lands a critical hit''' :''"Landing a critical hit like that... You’re pretty tough when you get serious!"
::'''When Hop uses a super-effective move''' :''"I’ve learned loads from studying Lee’s battles!"
::'''When Hop sends out his last Pokémon''' :''"Every one of my Pokémon is an ace! This is no problem at all!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's same-type move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Razor Leaf]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Water Pulse]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Flame Charge]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''After defeating Hop''' :''"We both got ourselves the same Grass Badge, so how come you’re so much stronger?!"

* After Battle
:''"You’ve gotten strong, <player>. Seems I’ve got to train even harder from now on."
:''"Next up is Nessa, the leader of the Water Gym!"

;[[Hulbury]]
:''"All right, mate! You’ve got both the Grass Badge and the Water Badge by now, right? In that case, we’re both headed for Motostoke and the Fire Gym Leader, Kabu! How about I share with you a little tip about that Leader Kabu? From what I heard, he’s holed up now in Galar Mine No. 2, undergoing some special training! If he’s in there, then we can’t take him on in Motostoke even if we zip right over there—putting the brakes on our Gym Challenge. So I say we head to Galar Mine No. 2 ourselves! Let’s go see what all the fuss is about!"

;[[Galar Mine No. 2]]
:''"Well, look at you, <player>!"
:''"Surrounded by adoring fans, eh? You’ll even be showing up Lee pretty soon!"
:''"Yeah? And can’t you see that I’m Hop, the Trainer who’ll be your next Champion?"
:''"You think I’m joking? I’ll prove it, then! And I think a battle with you lot would definitely end with some laughs!"
:''"Let’s take ’em together, <player>! You ready, mate?"
::'''Yes''' :''"The two of us were endorsed by the Champion himself! We’ll show you just what that means!"
::'''No''' :''"Got it! Then get yourself all ready for a good battle!"
:''"Nice one, <player>! That’s my rival for you!"
:''"Now then... Where could Kabu have gone off to? Let’s keep going. Maybe he’s further in!"
:''"That’s Kabu... Man, he’s wicked! No wonder he’s the Fire-type Gym Leader!"
:''"I remember Lee talking about Kabu. He said that a lot of Gym Challengers give up because they just can’t beat Kabu."
:''"Man, now I’m getting all fired up, too!"

;[[Motostoke Outskirts]]
:''"That Carkol from before... I guess it must’ve been here on a job. You do know about Poké Jobs by now, right?"
::'''I do''' :''"Course you do!"
::'''Poké what?''' :''"Looks like there’s no helping it, in that case... Settle down and let professor Hop teach you a thing or two! Let’s see if I can remember what Lee had written down in his old notebooks... Basically, you can have your Pokémon go about and help companies or other folks who are in need of something. You can take Poké Jobs from the Rotomi at any Pokémon Center, so give it a look sometime."
:''"Now I’m cream-cracked! I’m for the Budew Drop Inn and some sleep. Come tomorrow, that Fire Gym Leader Kabu better be ready, because I’ll be coming for him!"

;[[Motostoke]]
* Outside
:''"Slow moving, aren’t you, <player>?"
:''"I’ve already gone and earned my Fire Badge! That man of fire Kabu is just what you’d expect. Nearly got burnt in my battle with him! Even with my strongest team, it was definitely touch-and-go...but I still won in the end!"
:''"Get a shift on, <player>! I bet you could beat the man of fire, too!"

* [[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"Hey, <player>! I was on fire in my battle against Kabu!"
:''"<player>! I figured that if anyone could do it, you and <Pokémon> would be the ones...but still! That match had me right at the edge of my seat!"
:''"With all the Badges we’ve earned ourselves, I reckon we should be all right even against the fierce Pokémon you find deep in the Wild Area. Let’s go find out for ourselves!"

* Outside
:''"Hurry it up, <player>!"
:''"Huh?"
:''"You’re the Gym Leader, but you still came all the way to see us off? Oh, I bet you can already tell that I’m the one who’ll become the next Champion, yeah?"
:''"Thanks, you all! We’re gonna keep winning! We’ve got to if we want to face-off in the Champion Cup, after all!"
:''"Come on, <player>! Let’s head for Hammerlocke!"

;[[East Lake Axewell]]
:''"Hello again, Wild Area, my old friend! I’ve come back to you even stronger than before!"
:''"<player>! Hammerlocke is up that way—got it?"
:''"And, yeah, you could certainly rush straight there without a single detour..."
:''"but now that you and I have a few Gym Badges, we should be able to catch stronger Pokémon!"
:''"So I know what I’m doing. I’ll be catching myself some amazing Pokémon to fill in the next page in the tale of my legend!"
:''"Rubbish. More like you don’t know enough to recognize greatness when you see it. My throws are the greatest, and my bro is the finest Champion the world has ever seen! I’m not gonna listen to you insulting him!"
:''"You’re on then. I know you challenged <player> to battle in Galar Mine No. 2 and lost to him/her there. And I’m his/her greatest rival. In other words...there’s no way you’re beating me."
:''"I’ll show this wally my real skills in battle! So, see you later, <player>! Let’s meet up in Hammerlocke when I’m through with him!"

;{{rt|6|Galar}}
:''"Oh, hey, <player>. You’re heading to Stow-on-Side, right?"
:''"Oi, Team Yell. Don’t suppose you’ll let us through?"
:''"Right..."
:''"What do you say, <player>? If we don’t get past them, we won’t be able to continue our Gym Challenge at Stow-on-Side..."
::'''I'll battle them!''' :''"You... Yeah, that’s the spirit!"
::'''Let me think...''' :''"I don’t figure thinking at them is going to change much about the situation. What else you got?"
:''"Think I’ll leave this to you, <player>. Keep up the pace."
:''"<player>... You and <Pokémon> were brilliant together!"
:''"See, Bede really wiped the floor with me the last time we battled... And don’t get me wrong—I can take a loss! Battling means you’ve got to lose sometimes."
:''"But he said that I was dragging Lee’s good name through the mud, being so rubbish like I was... And I just can’t get those words out of my head!"
:''"If I’m weak, then people’ll think Lee’s weak, too... But I don’t want that! I can’t let Lee get dragged down! He’s the unbeatable Champion! I’m gonna have to take some time figuring this out. See you around, <player>..."

;[[Stow-on-Side]]
:''"<player>..."
:''"I’m still not too sure what I should do about all that stuff I told you before... About me being weak and dragging down Lee’s good name and all, yeah?"
:''"But the only think I can do is get stronger, right? So I’m gonna try out all kinds of different things against you and see what works!"
::'''You're on!''' :''"Then let’s do this! I bet an all-out battle with my true rival will help me get my head on straight!"
::'''Wait a second...''' :''"What? Your rival is depressed over here, and you won’t lift a finger to help?"

* In Battle
:''"All I’m after is victory, and I’m counting on you to help me grab it!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"Who wouldn’t aim for a supereffective hit if they had the chance, right?"
::'''When Hop lands a super-effective move''' :''"How’s that? Supereffective damage! I’m always looking for an opening!"
::'''When the player lands a critical hit''' :''"Ouch! Even I hurt when you manage to land a critical hit like that one!"
::'''When Hop lets out his last Pokémon''' :''"I don’t know what I can do to try to win now... but all I can do is try! There nothing else for it!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's same-type move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"

::'''After defeating Hop''' :''"My strategy goes right to pot when I’ve got all these bad thoughts running through my head..."

* After Battle
:''"Hrmmm... I tried switching my team members in and out to max out their potential in every matchup, but... We just couldn’t get it together somehow... Maybe that’s why I’m still so weak..."
:''"But Lee really is the greatest Trainer! And I don’t want people to be laughing at him all because his little brother is rubbish!"
:''"It’s not enough! I’ve got to try harder! And harder and harder till no one’s laughing! I’m off, mate! Off to find the kind of Pokémon that I can really draw the strength out of!"

;[[Hammerlocke]]
:''"Oh! <player>!
:''"First that forest, then that mad quiz... I’ve been lost in every sense of the word! But it looks like I’ve finally caught up to you again."
:''"Come with me to Route 7! I could use a bit of competition to motivate me!"

;{{rt|7|Galar}}
:''"All right, <player>! You and I both know I’ve got to keep on trying different strategies if I’m gonna get strong enough to catch up to Lee... No! Not just catch up! If I want to surpass him!"
:''"So I think you know what’s coming, mate... Let me try out my latest in a battle against you!"

* In Battle
:''"All right! Time for me to test exactly how far I can go with my latest and greatest team!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"The way you battle… You know, it kind of reminds me of Lee!"
::'''When Hop uses a super-effective move''' :''"How’d you like that attack?! Now I really feel like we’re getting somewhere!"
::'''When Hop lands a critical hit''' :''"Considered the possibility your opponent might land a critical hit on your Pokémon, mate?"

:''"Before we ever started out on this journey... I remember watching Lee on the telly. He was like a bright star, so strong I could hardly bear to look right at him. But now, I can tell just how strong he really is... And what he’s got that I haven’t..."
:''"But I’m getting stronger, too. Maybe not as fast as you, but fine. Whatever! Thanks for letting me battle you again. And here. I’ll heal up your team for you, too!"
:''"I think I know what it is I really want... I want to battle Lee—I want to take on my bro. But not just that, I want to beat him! I want to be the one who beats the unbeatable Champion! And I’m going to! My mind’s made up! You and me are going to have another battle once I get my Gym Badge in Circhester!"

;[[Circhester]]
* [[Circhester Stadium]]
:''"Arghhh! I lost! It all went to pot!"
:''"There must’ve been something wrong with my strategy, but I did just what I’ve seen Lee do in battles! Here! Take it! It’s the Rock{{sup/8|Sw}}/Ice{{sup/8|Sh}} Leader’s League Card. You should check out the Gym Leader you’ll have to face, too."
:''"And me... I’ve gotta figure out what to put on my team once and for all, and no more of this doubting!"

* Bob’s Your Uncle
:''"Got that Gym Badge, <player>? Nice one!"
:''"Based on those statues we saw back in Stow-on-Side, the sword and the shield were actually two Pokémon, right?"
:''"You remember the Pokémon we met that day? Do you think...it could’ve been one of them? Either the sword or the shield Pokémon?"
:''"Come on! You know what I’m talking about, right, <player>?"
::'''In the Slumbering Weald?''' :''"Exactly! The mad Pokémon we ran into in the fog! Don’t you think that could’ve been it?"
::'''I really don't''' :''"Not so sharp when it’s not about battle, huh? Don’t you remember that mad Pokémon we ran into in the fog that day? Don’t you think that could’ve been it?"

* Hero's Bath
:''"What, like some hero waving around a sword and shield? Pull the other one. Though...I guess I’d fancy a shield{{sup/8|Sw}}/sword{{sup/8|Sh}}, if I had to take my pick."
:''"Why don’t we show her, <player>! Think we can pull off a real heroic battle?"

===In Pokémon: Twilight Wings===
Hop made a cameo appearance in ''[[TW01|Letter]]'', where he tied a friendship bracelet to the right foreleg of his {{p|Wooloo}}. He briefly reappeared in ''[[TW02|Training]]'', where he and his Wooloo were watching television.

Hop then appeared more prominently in ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', where he was revealed to be watching television with Wooloo so he could study [[Leon]]'s technique and figure out how to become stronger. However, his admiration of Leon's {{p|Charizard}} caused Wooloo to run away. This prompted Hop to desperately search around town for it. By the end of the episode, Hop was reunited with Wooloo, whereupon he promised it that they will both challenge the Pokémon League together, and assured that it was perfect the way it was.

'''Hop''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|V Starter Sets}} before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion, with artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It allows the player to draw three cards, the same effect as cards of previous rivals.

==Trivia==
* Hop's uniform number is "189", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 飛躍 ''hiyaku'', meaning "leaping".
* Hop is the only rival in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}} not to become a [[Gym Leader]] by the end of the games.

'''Hop''' (Japanese: '''ホップ''' ''Hop'') is one of the [[rival]] characters in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the others being [[Bede]] and [[Marnie]].

==In the games==
Hop is the {{player}}'s neighbor and [[rival]]. His goal is to become the {{pkmn|Champion}}, just like his brother [[Leon]]. Hop starts his {{pkmn|journey}} with his [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]], {{p|Wooloo}}, and the [[starter Pokémon]] weak to the player's choice. After meeting a mysterious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Slumbering Weald]] and receiving an [[endorsement]] from Leon, Hop and the player board the train to [[Motostoke]], and their respective journeys begin. While an outwardly earnest boy, Hop's dreams are cast into doubt after a crushing defeat at the hands of [[Bede]] soon after earning his {{badge|Fire}}, compounded by frequent losses to the player and the pressure of following in his brother's footsteps. Believing he is making his brother look weak, Hop begins using different teams to get stronger but still comes up short, losing his first challenge at [[Circhester Stadium]].

After the player wins at Circhester Stadium, Hop and the player learn more about the mysterious Pokémon of Slumbering Weald and their relationship to the hero. Motivated, Hop tells the player he has made up his mind and will no longer doubt himself, challenging them with his new, final team led by his newly-evolved {{p|Dubwool}}. Hop completes his Gym challenge and eventually meets the player as their second opponent in the Champion Cup in [[Wyndon Stadium]]. He is eventually defeated, and while visibly upset, Hop congratulates the player.

After the semifinals, Hop and the player search for Leon, who said he would be at the Rose of the Ronderlands hotel to join the two for dinner, but he did not show up. With the help of [[Piers]], [[Marnie]], and [[Team Yell]], the player and Hop pursue a member of [[Macro Cosmos]] to [[Rose Tower]], where they find Leon having a discussion with [[Chairman Rose]] at the top. Hop later appears to congratulate the player for clearing the final round of the Champion Cup, and after some encouragement by his starter Pokémon, he decides he is going to cheer for them over his brother. However, after Rose interrupts the Championship match, Hop suggests heading towards the Slumbering Weald to stop the return of {{p|Eternatus}} and the [[Darkest Day]].

In the deepest parts of the Weald, the player and Hop are unable to find the mysterious Pokémon they once saw, and instead, they discover a [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield]]. Hop takes the Shield{{sup/8|Sw}}/Sword{{sup/8|Sh}} and make way to the [[Energy Plant]] in [[Hammerlocke]]. After defeating Rose, the player and Hop join Leon, who tries and fails to catch Eternatus. After the player knocks it out, Eternatus turns into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Eternatus|Eternamax}} Eternatus. Hop joins the player in a [[Max Raid Battle]] against it, but they are unable to do anything until they use the Rusted Sword and Shield to summon {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}. Through the combined efforts of Hop and the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} heroes, the player can catch and stop Eternatus.

After becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player meets Hop again in the Slumbering Weald where Zacian and Zamazenta once slept, saying he felt compelled to come there. After congratulating the player and having another battle, the player and Hop attempt to return the Rusted Sword and Shield, but are stopped by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who attempt to steal the artifacts. The player successfully reclaims their artifact in a {{pkmn|battle}} with Sordward{{sup/8|Sw}}/Shielbert{{sup/8|Sh}}, but Hop is defeated by the other brother and loses his artifact. Feeling responsible, Hop quickly pursues the brothers, who are causing Trainers' Pokémon to [[Dynamax]] by force and run amok in [[Gym|Stadiums]]. While helping the Pokémon in Max Raid Battles with the player, Piers, and the other Gym Leaders, Hop expresses newfound doubts, thinking he is only dragging his friends down.

Hop and the player eventually corner the brothers at the Energy Plant, where they drive Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} into a berserk state by exposing it to Dynamax energy. The player defeats it in battle, and the Legendary Pokémon runs off after nearly attacking Hop, who was trying to help it. Hop goes after it, leaving Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}} in the hands of the player, who is challenged by the other Legendary Pokémon. After the player catches Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}}, they go back to the Slumbering Weald, where they see Hop soothing a distraught Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}}. Thankful, the Legendary hero offers to join Hop's team. Hop then declares he has a new dream; to become a [[Pokémon Professor]] to help people as he did during the past incidents, but he also says that he will always see the player as a rival. With that, he and the player have one more battle, with Hop using his new Legendary partner. After the battle, [[Sonia]] offers Hop a position as her [[Professors' aides|assistant]] to help with his studies, which he accepts.

After the post-game story, Hop can be [[rematch]]ed as one of the challengers of the Champion Cup. This time, he uses a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Corviknight}}. While not battling, he can be found in Sonia's laboratory at [[Wedgehurst]].

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Hop's [[League Card]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
;Normal League Card
:"This [[Pokémon Trainer]] got endorsed to take part in the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] by his brother—the reigning {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Leon]]. Hop claims to have watched all Leon's matches. Commentators speculate that as a result, he might be quite the force to be reckoned with. The Champion himself has said that his brother has potential, but his carefully hoarded knowledge can go to waste as he tends to get easily flustered in battle. It's said that Hop's partner {{p|Wooloo}} is a great help to him both in battle and with chores around the house."
;Rare League Card
:"This Trainer ultimately was defeated in the final match of the Champion Cup Semifinals. However, many [[Gym Leader]]s speak highly of his battle style, where he will let his Pokémon battle freely and really enjoy themselves. During the incident with {{p|Eternatus}}, he provided vital assistance in resolving the situation, proving beyond doubt that he is a skilled Trainer in his own right. It is expected that his battles with {{player|the new Champion}} will be the stuff of legend."

* At Player's House
:''"Hello, hello!"
:''"Oh! That your flash new phone, <player>?"
:''"Were you watching Lee's exhibition match on it? But you can't cheer him on with your hands full! You know the only way to properly cheer on Lee would be with his famous Charizard pose! "
:''"Yeah, that's exactly why I came running over to get <player>! Never mind watching the match now! I've got it recording at home anyway. I record all my brother's matches."
:''"Come with me, <player>! He should be here any minute! And Lee always brings presents when he visits, so I wouldn't forget that Bag if I were you!"
:''"Now I've got to run! See you at mine later!

* Outside of Player's House
:''"Hahaha! Have a look at you, <player>! That old Bag looks like it could pull you over! At least we know that it should hold anything Lee might bring, even if it's as big as a Snorlax!"
:''"A Wooloo... But what's it doing there?"
:''"Hey! You silly Wooloo! I see what you're up to! Don't go using Tackle on the fencing! Now, you listen! No going past that fence! No! Everyone knows there are scary Pokémon living in the Slumbering Weald!"
:''"Now that that's taken care of... How about it, <player>? Let's race! Bet I can make it to my house first, what with you lugging about that big old Bag!"

* Hop's House
:''"Mum! Is he here?!"
:''"Yeah, yeah, but where's Lee? Have you got him crammed in a cupboard?"
:''"Then that's where I'm going! You know Lee is hopeless with directions. I'll make sure he doesn't get lost on the way!"
:''"You've got the come with, <player>. You've still never met my big bro, right? You can't miss out on your chance to meet the undefeated Champion! I'll wait for you out on the route!"

* Outside
:''"Let's get a move on! Only remember, <player>... Wild Pokémon could come out of nowhere if you walk through patches of tall grass. I've got my Wooloo with me, so I'm ready for battles against wild Pokémon, of course. But not you, <player>! So we'll steer clear of the tall grass as we go."

;{{rt|1|Galar}}
:''"Let's go and meet Lee at the station! It's dead ahead from here!"
::'''If the player walks into the grass''' : ''"No wandering in that tall grass for you if you got no Pokémon of your own, mate!"

;[[Wedgehurst]]
:''"Lee!"
:''"Bingo! That's the sort of sharp eye that's kept you undefeated so long, eh, Lee?"
:''"Come on, Lee! And you, <player>!"
:''"Bet I can beat the both of you back home!"

;[[Postwick]]
* Leon giving the player and Hop their [[Starter Pokémon]]
:''"Come on, Lee! You promised us a present! So out with it! You brought <player> and me Pokémon. You did, didn't you? I know you must have!"
:''"Go on—you pick first. I've already got my Wooloo, after all."
::'''If the player tries to leave without choosing''' : ''"Where are you going, <player>?! You haven't chosen a Pokémon yet!"
::'''Grookey''' : ''"So it'll be Grookey for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Sobble! You're mine!"
::'''Scorbunny''' : ''"So it'll be Scorbunny for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Grookey! You're mine!"
::'''Sobble''' : ''"So it'll be Sobble for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Scorbunny! You're mine!"
:''"I'm aiming to be the next champion, so be ready! You and I'll be doing some serious training!"

* The next day
:''"Course I have, Lee! <player>'s made fast friends with his/her Grookey/Scorbunny/Sobble, too."
:''"What're you looking at him/her for, Lee? I'm the one who'll be coming to challenge you! If you think <player> might be able to challenge you, then I guess he's/she's my first rival! But I'm not planning to lose to him/her and miss out on my chance to beat the unbeatable Champion!"
:''"Just having a Pokémon with you doesn't make you a real Trainer, you know. Proper Trainers raise their Pokémon up to be first-rate in battle, too!"
::'''If the player said No to battling''' : ''"Me and Sobble/Grookey/Scorbunny are ready to have a go at you anytime!"
::'''If the player tries to leave without battling''' : ''"And where do you think you're off to, then? We're having a battle — you and me!"
::'''If the player said Yes to battling''' : ''"I've watched every match that Lee's ever had! I've read every book and magazine he left behind at home, too! I know exactly what to do in order to win!"

* In battle
:''"A Pokémon battle it is, then! I've got two partners with me!"
::'''After Wooloo faints''' : ''"It's not ever yet! I've added another trusty ally to my team!"
::'''After player lands a Super-Effective hit on Hop's starter''' : ''"Did you already know about type advantages!?"
::'''If the player hits a Critical Hit on either of Hop's Pokemon''': ''"A critical hit? What kind of beginner's luck is that?!"''
::'''If the player defeats Hop''' :''"You beat my two Pokémon with your one?! You and that Grookey/Scorbunny/Sobble are too much!"

* After battle
::'''If Hop defeated the player''' :''"Sorry, mate. Even if you did get your Pokémon direct from a champ like Lee, looks like I’m still the greatest!"
::'''If the Player defeated Hop''' :''"Well, that was a shock! Guess I know now why Lee thought he should give you a Pokémon, too..."
:''"I already want to get stronger and stronger! You've seen me battle now, Lee, so come on—— you've gotta let me take on the [[Pokémon Gyms]]!"
:''"Right, right, we get it... Pokédexes, then! We're on it! Looks likes it's off to the Pokémon Research Lab for you and me, <player>!"
:''"I'm going to be the next Champion, so completing a simple Pokédex will be nothing! Just another page in the tale of my legend! You'd probably better go tell your mum that we're heading out, though."
:''"<player>! Did you hear that just now?"
:''"The gate's open! And the Wooloo that was there..."
:''"It was tackling the fence pretty hard earlier. You don't think it actually broke through there, do you?"
:''"But it's off limits! Nobody's supposed to go in there! I remember the professor's granddaughter went in once, and she came back in a real state... And that was nothing compared to the earful she got from the professor afterward! <player>... What do you say?"
::'''We've got to save it!''' : ''"Right? Even if we're not supposed to, this is the kind of scene where you simply have to do what's needed!"
::'''I don't know...''' : ''"Right... No one wants to get in trouble, least of all me. But deep down you want to save that Pokémon, too, don’t you?"
:''"Hope you're ready for anything, because we're going in, <player>!"
::'''If the player tries to leave''' : ''"The Slumbering Weald is over this way! Let’s go find that Wooloo!"
::'''If talked to again''' : ''"Come on, <player>! We can't just leave that Pokémon on its own!"

;[[Slumbering Weald]]
:''"That Wooloo… Where do you think it got off to?"
:''"The fog is really coming on thick now... If we don't find that Pokémon soon, this might be trouble."
::'''If the player tries to leave''' : ''"Be serious, would you? We’ve got to go look for that Pokémon!"
:''"Doing all right there, Grooky/Scorbunny/Sobble? Let's be sure you're in tip-top shape."
:''"There. Now let's push on!"
:''"Did you hear that? Was that a Pokémon crying out, you think?!"
:''"Come on, <player>! That Wooloo might be in real trouble!"
::'''If the player tries to leave''' :''"Hey! <player>! Not trying to ditch me in here, are you?"
:''"This is mad... I can't even see my own hand in front of my face! I think I get now why this place is off-limits..."
:''"What in the——?!"

* In battle
::'''After attacking''' : ''"Wha—?! The move had no effect on it?!
::'''After attacking again''' : ''"<player>! I can't see anything! You OK?!"
::'''After attacking a third time''' :''"I can’t see anything!"
:''"Uwaaaaaah!"

*After battle
:''"Wha—? Lee? How’d you manage to find your way here? You’re pants with directions. You always get lost."
:''"Wait, where’s the Wooloo?! We were trying to rescue that Wooloo!"
:''"And at least that Wooloo’s all right… Yeah, Name? I thought we’d had it when that weird fog started rolling in and that mad Pokémon attacked… but at least it wasn’t all for nothing!"
:''"It seemed loads stronger than any Pokémon I’ve ever seen. And it just had this sort of presence… Our moves didn’t even touch it. I mean, really— they seemed to pass right through it!"
:''"Even if we did get an earful from Lee…what an experience! This’ll make a pretty fine first page in the tale of my legend!"

;[[Postwick]]
*Outside of Player's House
:''"Don’t forget to tell your mum we’re off to Wedgehurst now. She’ll go spare if you leave without a word—even worse than Lee just did!"
::'''If the player tries to leave''' : ''"You did tell your mum that we’re heading to Wedgehurst, right? She’ll go spare if you disappear without a word."

;{{rt|1|Galar}}
:''"Here we go! This is quite the big step, you know. My first step toward becoming the next Champion!"
:''"Guess I’ll probably train up Sobble/Grooky/Scorbunny a bit by having it battle against Pokémon in the tall grass."
:''"You should get yourself to the building with the purple roof and the great red and white ball mark out on front. That’s the Pokémon research Lab!"

;[[Wedgehurst]]
* After getting the Pokédex
:''"Got your Pokédex from Sonia? Then it’s time to meet lots of different Pokémon and start building up a strong team! But battling strong Pokémon in the wild can leave your team in a bad way. Not to mention what battling another Trainer can do… Luckily, we’ve got Pokémon Centers!"
:''"Luckier yet, they’re dead easy to spot. They look the same wherever you go."
:''"Come on, <player>. Bet you’ve never been inside one!"

* Pokémon Center
:''"Level with me, <player>. Is this your first time in a Pokémon Center?
::'''Yes...''' :''"Then the future Champion’s got you covered! First things first—you talk to the lady at the counter if you want your Pokémon healed up. And Pokémon you catch are kept in computers like the one you can find here, see? After all, you can only bring six Pokémon with you on the road in your party. The Potions they sell at the Poké Mart got me out of a real rough spot the other day!"
::'''Of course not''' :''"Then I don’t think you need me to tell you what you already know."
:''"Cheers! I’m already good, though. I’m heading to Route 2, <player>! Come find me, maybe, when you’re done here!"

* Outside
:''"Listen, <player>. I’ve been thinking... If you’re a Pokémon Trainer now, you must want to try your hand at the Gym Challenge, right?"
::'''The Gym Challenge?/What's that?''' :''"The Gym Challenge, mate! The annual competition where Trainers can battle it out for the right to challenge the Champion! But the trick is that you’ve got to be endorsed if you want to take part. And Lee doesn’t seem to think I’m up to snuff… So I’m thinking I ought to talk to the professor and see if she could help! You’ve got to take part, too! A proper rival is just the thing every Trainer needs to keep growing stronger, after all. Keeps you motivated, right? The professor’s house is way down at the end of Route 2, so let’s head there…and give our teams the chance to train up a bit along the way!"

;{{rt|2|Galar}}
:''"Over here, <player>!"
:''"All right, <player>? It’s time we filled in out teams a bit—"
:''"Lee?! Where’d you come from?"

* After the catching tutorial
:''"Typical Lee!"
:''"The Pokémon on your team will get Exp. Points when you catch Pokémon, too."
:''"All right! I’m gonna catch loads of Pokémon. The professor will be shocked when she sees!"

* Outside Magnolia's House
:''"Look! There’s the professor!"

* Magnolia's House
:''"Hey, Professor, do us a favor, would you? Help me convince Lee he should endorse us for the Gym Challenge!"
:''"Right! I’ll be waiting outside, <player>!"

* Outside
:''"Hurry it up, <player>! You’ve gotta battle me so I can get myself that endorsement!"
::'''if the player tries to leave''' :''"Hurry it up, <player>! You’ve gotta battle me so I can get myself that endorsement!"
:''"I’m going to become the greatest Pokémon Trainer there is! And to do that, I need that endorsement to take part in the Gym Challenge! Come at me with everything you have so we can prove to Lee that we’ve got what it takes!"
::'''Of course''' :''"It’s time for my legend to begin!"
::'''I need to prepare''' :''"Oh, fine... Guess I can wait a bit."

* In battle
:''"Have you gotten a bit stronger? Me and my team will put you to the test and see!"
::'''After player lands a Super-Effective hit''' :''"Well, look at you! Seems you’ve really learned your type matchups!"
::'''After player lands a Critical Hit''' :''"You landed a critical hit on my Pokémon?! You’ve got plenty of spirit—that’s for sure!"
::'''When Hop sends out his last Pokémon''' :''"It’ll be a close one! But that’s exactly my sort of match!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's same-type move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Branch Poke]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Water Gun]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Ember]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''If the player defeats Hop''' :''"Oof! Gutted that I lost… But I’d expect nothing less from my rival!"

* After battle
::'''If Hop defeated the player for a second time''' :''"Undefeated! And my Pokémon’s moves were seriously on point!"
::'''If the player defeated Hop''' :''"And I even got my Poké Ball throw perfect, too!"
:''"The sting of defeat and joy of victory... I guess going through both is the key to the two of us getting stronger, right?"
:''"Yes! Thanks, Lee! I swear I’m going to win my way through the Gym Challenge to reach you!"
:''"All right, <player>! You and me are going to train up against one another to aim for that Champion’s title!"
::'''Absolutely!''' :''"The more we keep battling against one another, the more our Pokémon will grow."
::'''Against one another?''' :''"That’s the way of it when you’ve got a great rival! Just like you’ve got me, and I’ve got you!"
:''"Huh? What’s that?!"
:''"<player>! Would you look at this? They’re Wishing Stars! Since there are two of them, you should take one yourself!"
:''"With one of those, my Pokémon can Dynamax! They’re gonna be massive! YES!"
:''"I will be the greatest Trainer ever! I WILL be the greatest Trainer ever! I WILL BE THE GREATEST TRAINER EVER!!! There! I’ve said it three times, so surely my wish will come true now, right?"
:''"Ah, right. You’ve done heaps of research on the Dynamax phenomenon, haven’t you, Professor? Then please! Give <player> and me the power to Dynamax our Pokémon!"
:''"First we got to battle against that mad Pokémon in the Slumbering Weald, and now this... It really feels like we’re getting caught up in the adventure of a lifetime!"

* The next morning, inside Magnolia's House
:''"It’s morning at last! And time for our adventure to truly start!"
:''"Er, well, there was weird heavy fog, and then this even weirder Pokémon appeared... <player> tried to fight it off! But then I think we both passed out or something. It’s all pretty hazy."
:''"Thanks, Professor! This is brilliant! It’s just like the one Lee has on him, too. Now we can Dynamax our Pokémon like he does!"
:''"The legend of my reign is finally about to begin!"
:''"Come on, <player>! I’ll beat you to the station!"

* Outside
:''"One last thing before we race, <player>. See, I’ve got some great advice for you!"
:''"You know how you sometimes see Pokémon wandering about out of the tall grass, yeah?"
:''"If you move real slow like, and crouch down, those Pokémon won’t pay you any notice."
:''"But on the other hand... If you whistle at them, you’ll be SURE to catch their attention!"
:''"If you’re a bit rubbish as whistling, just remember this: "Need a fail-proof trick? Press the Left Stick!""
:''"Try it out, and let’s see who can catch the most Pokémon, <player>!"
:''"You remember Wedgehurst Station, right? Where we went to pick up Lee before. That’ll be the goal, so see you there!"

;[[Wedgehurst]]
:''"Come on, <player>! You’ll never beat me to the station at that pace!"
:''"So, out with it, <player>! How many did you catch? I caught a really special one!"
::'''If the player did not catch any Pokémon''' :''"And you got... Not one?! What were you doing this whole time? You’re going to want a team if you’re a Trainer!"
::'''If the player caught one Pokémon''' :''"And you’ve got yourself... Ooh, just one! Looks like we’re at a draw. Though we are rivals and all, so that’s fair!"
::'''If the player caught multiple Pokémon''' :''"But look at how many you caught! You’re well on your way to building a fine team."
:''"That’s a technical machine! A TM, mate! With a TM like that, you can teach your Pokémon a new move in a flash. And you can use them again and again, too. That one can teach the move Swift. Lee gave it to me ages ago, and now it’s yours."
:''"The Gym Challenge will begin in Motostoke! And our train’s waiting, so let’s go!"

* Train Station
:''"What’re you doing here, Mum?"
:''"Thanks, Mum. And just think how lucky you are—mother to the first ever pair of Champion brothers! Because I’m certain to be the Champion next. You’ll see!"
:''"Wish us luck! Not that we’ll need it."
:''"There are loads of brilliant Trainers and all kinds of Pokémon out there waiting for us! My excitement’s running ahead of me even faster than that train can go, Name! Come on! We’re off!"

* On the Train
:''"Motostoke is surrounded by a vast Wild Area! It’s a real sight. There’re all sorts of wild Pokémon just wandering about—everywhere you look! Plus, you can camp out, do a spot of fishing... I don’t think I could ever get tired of it!"

;[[Meetup Spot]]
* Inside Station
:''"Hey, Mr. Station Master! Isn’t this the Wild Area? What’re we stopped here for?"
:''"What’s there to be sorry about? This is brilliant!"
::'''Brilliant?/What is?''' :''"This Wild Area is massive! There are loads of Pokémon to battle here! You get it, don’t you, <player>? This is the best possible place to put together the greatest team!"

* Outside
:''"Look at that!"
:''"That’s Motostoke, way off that way!"
:''"And between there and here are countless new Pokémon waiting to be met!"
:''"Oh, hello. And if it isn’t Sonia."
:''"Yikes... Being an adult has got its own challengers, eh?"
:''"Well, I’m off to go stick my head in as many of those red glowing dens as I can find. I’m going to battle the snot out of a bunch of Dynamax Pokémon and fill in another page in the tale of my legend!"

;[[Motostoke]]
* Outside
:''"You made it, too?"
:''"Motostoke Stadium... This is where the opening ceremony will be held."
:''"Everyone’ll be watching the opening ceremony for the Gym Challenge... My mum... Your mum... The whole world!"
:''"It’s getting me a bit nervous, really... Naw, this isn’t nerves... I’m only trembling because I’m so excited!"
:''"Come on, <player>! It’s time the world learned our names!"

* [[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"Would you take a look at this... The place is packed with Gym Challengers! Every one of these folks is another rival!"
:''"Let’s get signed up!"
:''"Seriously? What a piece of work..."
:''"Well, now you’ve had two, because I am as well!"
:''"I’m Hop! I’m Leon’s little brother, in fact. And the next Champion. Get me all signed up, would you?"
:''"That’s the League Chairman for you! Even booked us all hotel rooms! I’m off to check out the fancy digs!"

* Budew Drop Inn
:''"Oh hey, Sonia! What’re you doing at our hotel?"
:''"What’s this, then?"
:''"Huh... I suppose that hero must’ve been about as strong as Lee, then! Looks like you’re going to have your hands full with plenty to research, though, Sonia. Black storms and swords and shields and all..."
:''"Probably so! And we’ll look out for you, too, Sonia. If we hear anything about any hero or whatnot, we’ll tell you!"
:''"I wasn’t expecting checking in would be such a big fuss, <player>! What’s going on? Sneaking in some Pokémon battles without me?"
:''"Don’t think you can get ahead of me that easily... I need to get some training in, so I’m joining! Here, I’ll even heal up your Pokémon, too."
:''"I’m Hop, one of this year’s Gym Challengers! And the one who’s gonna be the next Champion! Now let’s have us a nice two-on-two!"
:''"So you’re a Gym Challenger, too? Team Yell, was it? Pretty impressive that you already have a set of fans to call your own!"
::'''If talked to at any point''' :''"I guess we probably should head to the front desk to get checked in."
* The next morning
:''"Morning!"
:''"So this is it... Now my legend really begins!"
:''"Watch out, <player>! I’ll beat you to Motostoke Stadium!"

* [[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"I can’t wait for the first match! Pretty soon I’ll have so man fans, I’ll have to fight 'em off like Lee does!"
:''"Standing there on the pitch...in the stadium...in front of everyone! There’s really no words for it, but... I can barely contain myself! My heart’s racing!"
:''"Let’s do it, <player>! You know the Gym Challenge has a set order that you’ve gotta visit the Gyms in, right? The first is in Turffield! And to get there, we need to head to Route 3!"

* Outside
:''"There you are! I’ve been waiting! Let’s have a battle, you and me. We’ll get in a bit of training!"
::'''All right!''' :''"I knew you’d be up for it! We’ve got to stay keener than anyone else if we want to steal the spotlight from our rivals!"
::'''But why?''' :''"Seriously? This is the moment when you play along and act pumped up for battle! If you’ve gotta ask why we should bother training, you’ll never make it through the Gym Challenge!"

* In Battle
:''"Keep up, mate! This is our chance to see if we are up to the Gym Challenge!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"Typical! Should’ve known you’d mastered type matchups!"
::'''When the player lands a critical hit''' :''"Landing a critical hit like that... You’re pretty tough when you get serious!"
::'''When Hop lets out his last Pokémon''' :''"Backed into a corner? You got it all wrong, mate! This’ll just make my victory all the better!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's same-type move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Branch Poke]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Water Gun]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Ember]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''After defeating Hop''' :''"Was that really good training? Looks like I’d better keep my guard up!"

* After Battle
:''"Just what I’d expect from my rival! You know what? I’ll even give you one of my League Cards! That’s how good I think you did in that battle."
:''"Our Gym Challenge starts right now—from here in Motostoke! Although the first Gym Leader we’ll have to challenge is in a town way far off from here... Still, you’d better believe I’m going to keep on winning my way to that Championship Match!"
:''"Hello, Galar! Meet your next Champion! From the sleepy town of Postwick—it’s me, Hop!"

;[[Turffield]]
:''"Look! Just take a look at that, <player>! That’s Turffield Stadium down there!"
:''"The Gym Leader just returned, too. Milo’s his name. But the place is jam-packed with challengers. It’ll be ages before our turn comes up..."
:''"Oh... But Sonia was looking for you, <player>. She wanted to ask you something. She tried asking me, but I had no idea. She’s up on that what’s-her-face hill. You know the one."
:''"What? You don’t know the hill? Well, have a look at your map if you’re not sure!"
:''"Oh! If it isn’t Sonia’s Yamper! He’s a good boy. He’ll show you the way!"
::'''If talked to again''' :''"What? You don’t know the hill? Well, have a look at your map if you’re not sure!"
:''"Take a look at this, <player>!"
:''"The Grass Gym Badge! I got it in one try!"
:''"I reckon I’m just about the greatest when it comes to wrangling Wooloo... I’ve had plenty of practice at it, after all!"
:''"But I’m sure you can win this one, too. After all, you are my rival!"

;{{rt|5|Galar}}
:''"There you are, <player>!"
:''"I’m warning you, though... Any closer than that and we’re going to have to have a battle—you and me!"
:''"I warned you! We’re both Gym Challengers who’ve earned ourselves a Grass Badge. This is the perfect training!"

* In Battle
:''"Let’s have a taste of what a Gym Badge holder’s team can do!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"Typical! Should’ve known you’d mastered type matchups!"
::'''When the player lands a critical hit''' :''"Landing a critical hit like that... You’re pretty tough when you get serious!"
::'''When Hop uses a super-effective move''' :''"I’ve learned loads from studying Lee’s battles!"
::'''When Hop sends out his last Pokémon''' :''"Every one of my Pokémon is an ace! This is no problem at all!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's same-type move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Razor Leaf]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Water Pulse]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Flame Charge]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''After defeating Hop''' :''"We both got ourselves the same Grass Badge, so how come you’re so much stronger?!"

* After Battle
:''"You’ve gotten strong, <player>. Seems I’ve got to train even harder from now on."
:''"Next up is Nessa, the leader of the Water Gym!"

;[[Hulbury]]
:''"All right, mate! You’ve got both the Grass Badge and the Water Badge by now, right? In that case, we’re both headed for Motostoke and the Fire Gym Leader, Kabu! How about I share with you a little tip about that Leader Kabu? From what I heard, he’s holed up now in Galar Mine No. 2, undergoing some special training! If he’s in there, then we can’t take him on in Motostoke even if we zip right over there—putting the brakes on our Gym Challenge. So I say we head to Galar Mine No. 2 ourselves! Let’s go see what all the fuss is about!"

;[[Galar Mine No. 2]]
:''"Well, look at you, <player>!"
:''"Surrounded by adoring fans, eh? You’ll even be showing up Lee pretty soon!"
:''"Yeah? And can’t you see that I’m Hop, the Trainer who’ll be your next Champion?"
:''"You think I’m joking? I’ll prove it, then! And I think a battle with you lot would definitely end with some laughs!"
:''"Let’s take ’em together, <player>! You ready, mate?"
::'''Yes''' :''"The two of us were endorsed by the Champion himself! We’ll show you just what that means!"
::'''No''' :''"Got it! Then get yourself all ready for a good battle!"
:''"Nice one, <player>! That’s my rival for you!"
:''"Now then... Where could Kabu have gone off to? Let’s keep going. Maybe he’s further in!"
:''"That’s Kabu... Man, he’s wicked! No wonder he’s the Fire-type Gym Leader!"
:''"I remember Lee talking about Kabu. He said that a lot of Gym Challengers give up because they just can’t beat Kabu."
:''"Man, now I’m getting all fired up, too!"

;[[Motostoke Outskirts]]
:''"That Carkol from before... I guess it must’ve been here on a job. You do know about Poké Jobs by now, right?"
::'''I do''' :''"Course you do!"
::'''Poké what?''' :''"Looks like there’s no helping it, in that case... Settle down and let professor Hop teach you a thing or two! Let’s see if I can remember what Lee had written down in his old notebooks... Basically, you can have your Pokémon go about and help companies or other folks who are in need of something. You can take Poké Jobs from the Rotomi at any Pokémon Center, so give it a look sometime."
:''"Now I’m cream-cracked! I’m for the Budew Drop Inn and some sleep. Come tomorrow, that Fire Gym Leader Kabu better be ready, because I’ll be coming for him!"

;[[Motostoke]]
* Outside
:''"Slow moving, aren’t you, <player>?"
:''"I’ve already gone and earned my Fire Badge! That man of fire Kabu is just what you’d expect. Nearly got burnt in my battle with him! Even with my strongest team, it was definitely touch-and-go...but I still won in the end!"
:''"Get a shift on, <player>! I bet you could beat the man of fire, too!"

* [[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"Hey, <player>! I was on fire in my battle against Kabu!"
:''"<player>! I figured that if anyone could do it, you and <Pokémon> would be the ones...but still! That match had me right at the edge of my seat!"
:''"With all the Badges we’ve earned ourselves, I reckon we should be all right even against the fierce Pokémon you find deep in the Wild Area. Let’s go find out for ourselves!"

* Outside
:''"Hurry it up, <player>!"
:''"Huh?"
:''"You’re the Gym Leader, but you still came all the way to see us off? Oh, I bet you can already tell that I’m the one who’ll become the next Champion, yeah?"
:''"Thanks, you all! We’re gonna keep winning! We’ve got to if we want to face-off in the Champion Cup, after all!"
:''"Come on, <player>! Let’s head for Hammerlocke!"

;[[East Lake Axewell]]
:''"Hello again, Wild Area, my old friend! I’ve come back to you even stronger than before!"
:''"<player>! Hammerlocke is up that way—got it?"
:''"And, yeah, you could certainly rush straight there without a single detour..."
:''"but now that you and I have a few Gym Badges, we should be able to catch stronger Pokémon!"
:''"So I know what I’m doing. I’ll be catching myself some amazing Pokémon to fill in the next page in the tale of my legend!"
:''"Rubbish. More like you don’t know enough to recognize greatness when you see it. My throws are the greatest, and my bro is the finest Champion the world has ever seen! I’m not gonna listen to you insulting him!"
:''"You’re on then. I know you challenged <player> to battle in Galar Mine No. 2 and lost to him/her there. And I’m his/her greatest rival. In other words...there’s no way you’re beating me."
:''"I’ll show this wally my real skills in battle! So, see you later, <player>! Let’s meet up in Hammerlocke when I’m through with him!"

;{{rt|6|Galar}}
:''"Oh, hey, <player>. You’re heading to Stow-on-Side, right?"
:''"Oi, Team Yell. Don’t suppose you’ll let us through?"
:''"Right..."
:''"What do you say, <player>? If we don’t get past them, we won’t be able to continue our Gym Challenge at Stow-on-Side..."
::'''I'll battle them!''' :''"You... Yeah, that’s the spirit!"
::'''Let me think...''' :''"I don’t figure thinking at them is going to change much about the situation. What else you got?"
:''"Think I’ll leave this to you, <player>. Keep up the pace."
:''"<player>... You and <Pokémon> were brilliant together!"
:''"See, Bede really wiped the floor with me the last time we battled... And don’t get me wrong—I can take a loss! Battling means you’ve got to lose sometimes."
:''"But he said that I was dragging Lee’s good name through the mud, being so rubbish like I was... And I just can’t get those words out of my head!"
:''"If I’m weak, then people’ll think Lee’s weak, too... But I don’t want that! I can’t let Lee get dragged down! He’s the unbeatable Champion! I’m gonna have to take some time figuring this out. See you around, <player>..."

;[[Stow-on-Side]]
:''"<player>..."
:''"I’m still not too sure what I should do about all that stuff I told you before... About me being weak and dragging down Lee’s good name and all, yeah?"
:''"But the only think I can do is get stronger, right? So I’m gonna try out all kinds of different things against you and see what works!"
::'''You're on!''' :''"Then let’s do this! I bet an all-out battle with my true rival will help me get my head on straight!"
::'''Wait a second...''' :''"What? Your rival is depressed over here, and you won’t lift a finger to help?"

* In Battle
:''"All I’m after is victory, and I’m counting on you to help me grab it!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"Who wouldn’t aim for a supereffective hit if they had the chance, right?"
::'''When Hop lands a super-effective move''' :''"How’s that? Supereffective damage! I’m always looking for an opening!"
::'''When the player lands a critical hit''' :''"Ouch! Even I hurt when you manage to land a critical hit like that one!"
::'''When Hop lets out his last Pokémon''' :''"I don’t know what I can do to try to win now... but all I can do is try! There nothing else for it!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's same-type move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Razor Leaf]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Water Pulse]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Flame Charge]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''After defeating Hop''' :''"My strategy goes right to pot when I’ve got all these bad thoughts running through my head..."

* After Battle
:''"Hrmmm... I tried switching my team members in and out to max out their potential in every matchup, but... We just couldn’t get it together somehow... Maybe that’s why I’m still so weak..."
:''"But Lee really is the greatest Trainer! And I don’t want people to be laughing at him all because his little brother is rubbish!"
:''"It’s not enough! I’ve got to try harder! And harder and harder till no one’s laughing! I’m off, mate! Off to find the kind of Pokémon that I can really draw the strength out of!"

;[[Hammerlocke]]
:''"Oh! <player>!
:''"First that forest, then that mad quiz... I’ve been lost in every sense of the word! But it looks like I’ve finally caught up to you again."
:''"Come with me to Route 7! I could use a bit of competition to motivate me!"

;{{rt|7|Galar}}
:''"All right, <player>! You and I both know I’ve got to keep on trying different strategies if I’m gonna get strong enough to catch up to Lee... No! Not just catch up! If I want to surpass him!"
:''"So I think you know what’s coming, mate... Let me try out my latest in a battle against you!"

* In Battle
:''"All right! Time for me to test exactly how far I can go with my latest and greatest team!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"The way you battle… You know, it kind of reminds me of Lee!"
::'''When Hop uses a super-effective move''' :''"How’d you like that attack?! Now I really feel like we’re getting somewhere!"
::'''When Hop lands a critical hit''' :''"Considered the possibility your opponent might land a critical hit on your Pokémon, mate?"
::'''When Hop lets out his last Pokémon''' :''"I’m the kind of guy who gets fired up to win in these situations!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's signature move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Drum Beating]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Snipe Shot]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Pyro Ball]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''After defeating Hop''' :''"This is rubbish... My team can’t perform if I can’t get my own head straight as their Trainer..."

* After Battle
:''"Before we ever started out on this journey... I remember watching Lee on the telly. He was like a bright star, so strong I could hardly bear to look right at him. But now, I can tell just how strong he really is... And what he’s got that I haven’t..."
:''"But I’m getting stronger, too. Maybe not as fast as you, but fine. Whatever! Thanks for letting me battle you again. And here. I’ll heal up your team for you, too!"
:''"I think I know what it is I really want... I want to battle Lee—I want to take on my bro. But not just that, I want to beat him! I want to be the one who beats the unbeatable Champion! And I’m going to! My mind’s made up! You and me are going to have another battle once I get my Gym Badge in Circhester!"

;[[Circhester]]
* [[Circhester Stadium]]
:''"Arghhh! I lost! It all went to pot!"
:''"There must’ve been something wrong with my strategy, but I did just what I’ve seen Lee do in battles! Here! Take it! It’s the Rock{{sup/8|Sw}}/Ice{{sup/8|Sh}} Leader’s League Card. You should check out the Gym Leader you’ll have to face, too."
:''"And me... I’ve gotta figure out what to put on my team once and for all, and no more of this doubting!"

* Bob’s Your Uncle
:''"Got that Gym Badge, <player>? Nice one!"
:''"Based on those statues we saw back in Stow-on-Side, the sword and the shield were actually two Pokémon, right?"
:''"You remember the Pokémon we met that day? Do you think...it could’ve been one of them? Either the sword or the shield Pokémon?"
:''"Come on! You know what I’m talking about, right, <player>?"
::'''In the Slumbering Weald?''' :''"Exactly! The mad Pokémon we ran into in the fog! Don’t you think that could’ve been it?"
::'''I really don't''' :''"Not so sharp when it’s not about battle, huh? Don’t you remember that mad Pokémon we ran into in the fog that day? Don’t you think that could’ve been it?"

* Hero's Bath
:''"What, like some hero waving around a sword and shield? Pull the other one. Though...I guess I’d fancy a shield{{sup/8|Sw}}/sword{{sup/8|Sh}}, if I had to take my pick."
:''"Why don’t we show her, <player>! Think we can pull off a real heroic battle?"
::'''Absolutely?''' :''"Sonia treated us to a great meal. After that curry, I feel like I’ve got the energy to wrestle a Bewear!"
::''"Time for a little exhibition match, starring the future Champion!"
::'''Give me a minute...''' :''"All right, I get it. Prepare as much as you like!"

* In Battle
:''"I’m counting on you, partner!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"Now that’s a proper move!"
::'''When the player lands a critical hit''' :''"Steady on, partner! I feel your pain, and we’ll get them back for it!"

:''"Take a look at the news!"
:''"See! There’s Lee! He really is the greatest, right?"
:''"Lee and his Charizard took down that Dynamax Pokémon in the blink of an eye!"

* [[Hammerlocke Stadium]]

* On the Train
:''"We’re finally headed for Wyndon! There’s a lot I want to check out there. There’s that big tower...and the monorail... And Wyndon Stadium, where the whole of Galar—no, the whole world is gonna be watching us!"

===In Pokémon: Twilight Wings===
Hop made a cameo appearance in ''[[TW01|Letter]]'', where he tied a friendship bracelet to the right foreleg of his {{p|Wooloo}}. He briefly reappeared in ''[[TW02|Training]]'', where he and his Wooloo were watching television.

Hop then appeared more prominently in ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', where he was revealed to be watching television with Wooloo so he could study [[Leon]]'s technique and figure out how to become stronger. However, his admiration of Leon's {{p|Charizard}} caused Wooloo to run away. This prompted Hop to desperately search around town for it. By the end of the episode, Hop was reunited with Wooloo, whereupon he promised it that they will both challenge the Pokémon League together, and assured that it was perfect the way it was.

'''Hop''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|V Starter Sets}} before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion, with artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It allows the player to draw three cards, the same effect as cards of previous rivals.

==Trivia==
* Hop's uniform number is "189", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 飛躍 ''hiyaku'', meaning "leaping".
* Hop is the only rival in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}} not to become a [[Gym Leader]] by the end of the games.

'''Hop''' (Japanese: '''ホップ''' ''Hop'') is one of the [[rival]] characters in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the others being [[Bede]] and [[Marnie]].

==In the games==
Hop is the {{player}}'s neighbor and [[rival]]. His goal is to become the {{pkmn|Champion}}, just like his brother [[Leon]]. Hop starts his {{pkmn|journey}} with his [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]], {{p|Wooloo}}, and the [[starter Pokémon]] weak to the player's choice. After meeting a mysterious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Slumbering Weald]] and receiving an [[endorsement]] from Leon, Hop and the player board the train to [[Motostoke]], and their respective journeys begin. While an outwardly earnest boy, Hop's dreams are cast into doubt after a crushing defeat at the hands of [[Bede]] soon after earning his {{badge|Fire}}, compounded by frequent losses to the player and the pressure of following in his brother's footsteps. Believing he is making his brother look weak, Hop begins using different teams to get stronger but still comes up short, losing his first challenge at [[Circhester Stadium]].

After the player wins at Circhester Stadium, Hop and the player learn more about the mysterious Pokémon of Slumbering Weald and their relationship to the hero. Motivated, Hop tells the player he has made up his mind and will no longer doubt himself, challenging them with his new, final team led by his newly-evolved {{p|Dubwool}}. Hop completes his Gym challenge and eventually meets the player as their second opponent in the Champion Cup in [[Wyndon Stadium]]. He is eventually defeated, and while visibly upset, Hop congratulates the player.

After the semifinals, Hop and the player search for Leon, who said he would be at the Rose of the Ronderlands hotel to join the two for dinner, but he did not show up. With the help of [[Piers]], [[Marnie]], and [[Team Yell]], the player and Hop pursue a member of [[Macro Cosmos]] to [[Rose Tower]], where they find Leon having a discussion with [[Chairman Rose]] at the top. Hop later appears to congratulate the player for clearing the final round of the Champion Cup, and after some encouragement by his starter Pokémon, he decides he is going to cheer for them over his brother. However, after Rose interrupts the Championship match, Hop suggests heading towards the Slumbering Weald to stop the return of {{p|Eternatus}} and the [[Darkest Day]].

In the deepest parts of the Weald, the player and Hop are unable to find the mysterious Pokémon they once saw, and instead, they discover a [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield]]. Hop takes the Shield{{sup/8|Sw}}/Sword{{sup/8|Sh}} and make way to the [[Energy Plant]] in [[Hammerlocke]]. After defeating Rose, the player and Hop join Leon, who tries and fails to catch Eternatus. After the player knocks it out, Eternatus turns into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Eternatus|Eternamax}} Eternatus. Hop joins the player in a [[Max Raid Battle]] against it, but they are unable to do anything until they use the Rusted Sword and Shield to summon {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}. Through the combined efforts of Hop and the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} heroes, the player can catch and stop Eternatus.

After becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player meets Hop again in the Slumbering Weald where Zacian and Zamazenta once slept, saying he felt compelled to come there. After congratulating the player and having another battle, the player and Hop attempt to return the Rusted Sword and Shield, but are stopped by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who attempt to steal the artifacts. The player successfully reclaims their artifact in a {{pkmn|battle}} with Sordward{{sup/8|Sw}}/Shielbert{{sup/8|Sh}}, but Hop is defeated by the other brother and loses his artifact. Feeling responsible, Hop quickly pursues the brothers, who are causing Trainers' Pokémon to [[Dynamax]] by force and run amok in [[Gym|Stadiums]]. While helping the Pokémon in Max Raid Battles with the player, Piers, and the other Gym Leaders, Hop expresses newfound doubts, thinking he is only dragging his friends down.

Hop and the player eventually corner the brothers at the Energy Plant, where they drive Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} into a berserk state by exposing it to Dynamax energy. The player defeats it in battle, and the Legendary Pokémon runs off after nearly attacking Hop, who was trying to help it. Hop goes after it, leaving Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}} in the hands of the player, who is challenged by the other Legendary Pokémon. After the player catches Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}}, they go back to the Slumbering Weald, where they see Hop soothing a distraught Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}}. Thankful, the Legendary hero offers to join Hop's team. Hop then declares he has a new dream; to become a [[Pokémon Professor]] to help people as he did during the past incidents, but he also says that he will always see the player as a rival. With that, he and the player have one more battle, with Hop using his new Legendary partner. After the battle, [[Sonia]] offers Hop a position as her [[Professors' aides|assistant]] to help with his studies, which he accepts.

After the post-game story, Hop can be [[rematch]]ed as one of the challengers of the Champion Cup. This time, he uses a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Corviknight}}. While not battling, he can be found in Sonia's laboratory at [[Wedgehurst]].

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Hop's [[League Card]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
;Normal League Card
:"This [[Pokémon Trainer]] got endorsed to take part in the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] by his brother—the reigning {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Leon]]. Hop claims to have watched all Leon's matches. Commentators speculate that as a result, he might be quite the force to be reckoned with. The Champion himself has said that his brother has potential, but his carefully hoarded knowledge can go to waste as he tends to get easily flustered in battle. It's said that Hop's partner {{p|Wooloo}} is a great help to him both in battle and with chores around the house."
;Rare League Card
:"This Trainer ultimately was defeated in the final match of the Champion Cup Semifinals. However, many [[Gym Leader]]s speak highly of his battle style, where he will let his Pokémon battle freely and really enjoy themselves. During the incident with {{p|Eternatus}}, he provided vital assistance in resolving the situation, proving beyond doubt that he is a skilled Trainer in his own right. It is expected that his battles with {{player|the new Champion}} will be the stuff of legend."

{{incomplete|section}}
;[[Postwick]]
* At Player's House
:''"Hello, hello!"
:''"Oh! That your flash new phone, <player>?"
:''"Were you watching Lee's exhibition match on it? But you can't cheer him on with your hands full! You know the only way to properly cheer on would be with his famous Charizard pose! "
:''"Yeah, that's exactly why I came running over to get <player>! Never mind watching the match now! I've got it recording at home anyway. I record all my brother's matches."
:''"Come with me, <player>! He should be here any minute! And Lee always brings presents when he visits, so I wouldn't forget that Bag if I were you! Now I've got to run! See you at mine later!

* Outside of Player's House
:''"Hahaha! Have a look at you, <player>! That old Bag looks like it could pull you over! At least we know that it should hold anything Lee might bring, even if it's as big as a Snorlax!"
:''"A Wooloo... But what's it doing here?"
:''"Hey! You silly Wooloo! I see what you're up to! Don't go using Tackle on the fencing! Now, you listen! going past that fence! No! Everyone knows there are scary Pokémon living in the Slumbering Weald!"
:''"Now that that's taken care of... How about it, <player>? Let's race! Bet I can make it to my house first, what with you lugging about that big old Bag!"

* Hop's House
:''"Mum! Is he here?!"
:''"Yeah, yeah! But where's Lee? Have you got him crammed in a cupboard?"
:''"Then that's where I'm going! You know Lee is hopeless with directions. I'll make sure he doesn't get lost on the way!"
:''"You've got the come with, <player>. You've still never met my big bro, right? You can't miss out on your chance to meet the undefeated Champion! I'll wait for you out on the route!"

* Outside
:''"Let's get a move on! Only remember, <player>... Wild Pokémon could come out of nowhere if you walk through patches of tall grass. I've got my Wooloo with me, so I'm ready for battles against wild Pokémon, of course. But not you, <player>! So we'll steer clear of the tall grass as we go."

;{{rt|1|Galar}}
:''"Let's go and meet Lee at the station! It's dead ahead from here!"
::'''If the player walks into the grass''' : ''"No wandering in that tall grass for you if you got no Pokémon of your own, mate!"

;[[Wedgehurst]]
:''"Lee!"
:''"Bingo! That's the sort of sharp eye that's kept you undefeated so long, eh, Lee?"
:''"Come on, Lee! And you, <player>!"
:''"Bet I can beat the both of you back home!"

;[[Postwick]]
* Leon giving the player and Hop their [[Starter Pokémon]]
:''"Come on, Lee! You promised us a present! So out with it! You brought <player> and me Pokémon. You did, didn't you? I know you must have!"
:''"Go on — you pick first. I've already got my Wooloo, after all."
::'''If the player tries to leave without choosing''' : ''"Where are you going, <player>?! You haven't chosen a Pokémon yet!"
::'''Grookey''' : ''"So it'll be Grookey for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Sobble! You're mine!"
::'''Scorbunny''' : ''"So it'll be Scorbunny for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Grookey! You're mine!"
::'''Sobble''' : ''"So it'll be Sobble for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Scorbunny! You're mine!"
:''"I'm aiming to be the next champion, so be ready! You and I'll be doing some serious training!"

* The next day
:''"Course I have, Lee! <player>'s made fast friends with his/her Grookey/Scorbunny/Sobble, too."
:''"What're you looking at him/her for, Lee? I'm the one who'll be coming to challenge you! If you think <player> might be able to challenge you, then I guess he's/she's my first rival! But I'm not planning to lose to him/her and miss out on my chance to beat the unbeatable Champion!"
:''"Just having a Pokémon with you doesn't make you a real Trainer, you know. Proper Trainers raise their Pokémon up to be first-rate in battle, too!"
::'''If the player said No to battling''' : ''"Me and Sobble/Grookey/Scorbunny are ready to have a go at you anytime!"
::'''If the player tries to leave without battling''' : ''"And where do you think you're off to, then? We're having a battle — you and me!"
::'''If the player said Yes to battling''' : ''"I've watched every match that Lee's ever had! I've read every book and magazine he left behind at home, too! I know exactly what to do in order to win!"

* In battle
:''"A Pokémon battle it is, then! I've got two partners with me!"
::'''After Wooloo faints''' : ''"It's not ever yet! I've added another trusty ally to my team!"
::'''After player lands a Super-Effective hit on Hop's starter''' : ''"Did you already know about type advantages!?"
::'''If the player hits a Critical Hit on either of Hop's Pokemon''': ''"A critical hit? What kind of beginner's luck is that?!"''
::'''If the player defeats Hop''' :''"You beat my two Pokémon with your one?! You and that Grookey/Scorbunny/Sobble are too much!"

* After battle
::'''If Hop defeated the player''' :''"Sorry, mate. Even if you did get your Pokémon direct from a champ like Lee, looks like I’m still the greatest!"
::'''If the Player defeated Hop''' :''"Well, that was a shock! Guess I know now why Lee thought he should give you a Pokémon, too..."
:''"I already want to get stronger and stronger! You've seen me battle now, Lee, so come on—— you've gotta let me take on the [[Pokémon Gyms]]!"
:''"Right, right, we get it... Pokédexes, then! We're on it! Looks likes it's off to the Pokémon Research Lab for you and me, <player>!"
:''"I'm going to be the next Champion, so completing a simple Pokédex will be nothing! Just another page in the tale of my legend! You'd probably better go tell your mum that we're heading out, though."
:''"<player>! Did you hear that just now?"
:''"The gate's open! And the Wooloo that was there..."
:''"It was tackling the fence pretty hard earlier. You don't think it actually broke through there, do you?"
:''"But it's off limits! Nobody's supposed to go in there! I remember the professor's granddaughter went in once, and she came back in a real state... And that was nothing compared to the earful she got from the professor afterward! <player>... What do you say?"
::'''We've got to save it!''' : ''"Right? Even if we're not supposed to, this is the kind of scene where you simply have to do what's needed!"
::'''I don't know...''' : ''"Right... No one wants to get in trouble, least of all me. But deep down you want to save that Pokémon, too, don’t you?"
:''"Hope you're ready for anything, because we're going in, <player>!"
::'''If the player tries to leave''' : ''"The Slumbering Weald is over this way! Let’s go find that Wooloo!"
::'''If talked to again''' : ''"Come on, <player>! We can't just leave that Pokémon on its own!"

;[[Slumbering Weald]]
:''"That Wooloo… Where do you think it got off to?"
:''"The fog is really coming on thick now... If we don't find that Pokémon soon, this might be trouble."
::'''If the player tries to leave''' : ''"Be serious, would you? We’ve got to go look for that Pokémon!"
:''"Doing all right there, Grooky/Scorbunny/Sobble? Let's be sure you're in tip-top shape."
:''"There. Now let's push on!"
:''"Did you hear that? Was that a Pokémon crying out, you think?!"
:''"Come on, <player>! That Wooloo might be in real trouble!"
::'''If the player tries to leave''' :''"Hey! <player>! Not trying to ditch me in here, are you?"
:''"This is mad... I can't even see my own hand in front of my face! I think I get now why this place is off-limits..."
:''"What in the——?!"

* In battle
::'''After attacking''' : ''"Wha—?! The move had no effect on it?!
::'''After attacking again''' : ''"<player>! I can't see anything! You OK?!"
::'''After attacking a third time''' :''"I can’t see anything!"
:''"Uwaaaaaah!"

*After battle
:''"Wha—? Lee? How’d you manage to find your way here? You’re pants with directions. You always get lost."
:''"Wait, where’s the Wooloo?! We were trying to rescue that Wooloo!"
:''"And at least that Wooloo’s all right… Yeah, Name? I thought we’d had it when that weird fog started rolling in and that mad Pokémon attacked… but at least it wasn’t all for nothing!"
:''"It seemed loads stronger than any Pokémon I’ve ever seen. And it just had this sort of presence… Our moves didn’t even touch it. I mean, really— they seemed to pass right through it!"
:''"Even if we did get an earful from Lee…what an experience! This’ll make a pretty fine first page in the tale of my legend!"

;[[Postwick]]
*Outside of Player's House
:''"Don’t forget to tell your mum we’re off to Wedgehurst now. She’ll go spare if you leave without a word—even worse than Lee just did!"
::'''If the player tries to leave''' : ''"You did tell your mum that we’re heading to Wedgehurst, right? She’ll go spare if you disappear without a word."

;{{rt|1|Galar}}
:''"Here we go! This is quite the big step, you know. My first step toward becoming the next Champion!"
:''"Guess I’ll probably train up Sobble/Grooky/Scorbunny a bit by having it battle against Pokémon in the tall grass."
:''"You should get yourself to the building with the purple roof and the great red and white ball mark out on front. That’s the Pokémon research Lab!"

;[[Wedgehurst]]
* After getting the Pokédex
:''"Got your Pokédex from Sonia? Then it’s time to meet lots of different Pokémon and start building up a strong team! But battling strong Pokémon in the wild can leave your team in a bad way. Not to mention what battling another Trainer can do… Luckily, we’ve got Pokémon Centers!"
:''"Luckier yet, they’re dead easy to spot. They look the same wherever you go."
:''"Come on, <player>. Bet you’ve never been inside one!"

* Pokémon Center
:''"Level with me, <player>. Is this your first time in a Pokémon Center?
::'''Yes...''' :''"Then the future Champion’s got you covered! First things first—you talk to the lady at the counter if you want your Pokémon healed up. And Pokémon you catch are kept in computers like the one you can find here, see? After all, you can only bring six Pokémon with you on the road in your party. The Potions they sell at the Poké Mart got me out of a real rough spot the other day!"
::'''Of course not''' :''"Then I don’t think you need me to tell you what you already know."
:''"Cheers! I’m already good, though. I’m heading to Route 2, <player>! Come find me, maybe, when you’re done here!"

* Outside
:''"Listen, <player>. I’ve been thinking... If you’re a Pokémon Trainer now, you must want to try your hand at the Gym Challenge, right?"
::'''The Gym Challenge?/What's that?''' :''"The Gym Challenge, mate! The annual competition where Trainers can battle it out for the right to challenge the Champion! But the trick is that you’ve got to be endorsed if you want to take part. And Lee doesn’t seem to think I’m up to snuff… So I’m thinking I ought to talk to the professor and see if she could help! You’ve got to take part, too! A proper rival is just the thing every Trainer needs to keep growing stronger, after all. Keeps you motivated, right? The professor’s house is way down at the end of Route 2, so let’s head there…and give our teams the chance to train up a bit along the way!"

;{{rt|2|Galar}}
:''"Over here, <player>!"
:''"All right, <player>? It’s time we filled in out teams a bit—"
:''"Lee?! Where’d you come from?"

* After the catching tutorial
:''"Typical Lee!"
:''"The Pokémon on your team will get Exp. Points when you catch Pokémon, too."
:''"All right! I’m gonna catch loads of Pokémon. The professor will be shocked when she sees!"

* Outside Magnolia's House
:''"Look! There’s the professor!"

* Magnolia's House
:''"Hey, Professor, do us a favor, would you? Help me convince Lee he should endorse us for the Gym Challenge!"
:''"Right! I’ll be waiting outside, <player>!"

* Outside
:''"Hurry it up, <player>! You’ve gotta battle me so I can get myself that endorsement!"
::'''if the player tries to leave''' :''"Hurry it up, <player>! You’ve gotta battle me so I can get myself that endorsement!"
:''"I’m going to become the greatest Pokémon Trainer there is! And to do that, I need that endorsement to take part in the Gym Challenge! Come at me with everything you have so we can prove to Lee that we’ve got what it takes!"
::'''Of course''' :''"It’s time for my legend to begin!"
::'''I need to prepare''' :''"Oh, fine... Guess I can wait a bit."

* In battle
:''"Have you gotten a bit stronger? Me and my team will put you to the test and see!"
::'''After player lands a Super-Effective hit''' :''"Well, look at you! Seems you’ve really learned your type matchups!"
::'''After player lands a Critical Hit''' :''"You landed a critical hit on my Pokémon?! You’ve got plenty of spirit—that’s for sure!"
::'''When Hop sends out his last Pokémon''' :''"It’ll be a close one! But that’s exactly my sort of match!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's same-type move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Branch Poke]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Water Gun]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Ember]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''If the player defeats Hop''' :''"Oof! Gutted that I lost… But I’d expect nothing less from my rival!"

* After battle
::'''If Hop defeated the player for a second time''' :''"Undefeated! And my Pokémon’s moves were seriously on point!"
::'''If the player defeated Hop''' :''"And I even got my Poké Ball throw perfect, too!"
:''"The sting of defeat and joy of victory... I guess going through both is the key to the two of us getting stronger, right?"
:''"Yes! Thanks, Lee! I swear I’m going to win my way through the Gym Challenge to reach you!"
:''"All right, <player>! You and me are going to train up against one another to aim for that Champion’s title!"
::'''Absolutely!''' :''"The more we keep battling against one another, the more our Pokémon will grow."
::'''Against one another?''' :''"That’s the way of it when you’ve got a great rival! Just like you’ve got me, and I’ve got you!"
:''"Huh? What’s that?!"
:''"<player>! Would you look at this? They’re Wishing Stars! Since there are two of them, you should take one yourself!"
:''"With one of those, my Pokémon can Dynamax! They’re gonna be massive! YES!"
:''"I will be the greatest Trainer ever! I WILL be the greatest Trainer ever! I WILL BE THE GREATEST TRAINER EVER!!! There! I’ve said it three times, so surely my wish will come true now, right?"
:''"Ah, right. You’ve done heaps of research on the Dynamax phenomenon, haven’t you, Professor? Then please! Give <player> and me the power to Dynamax our Pokémon!"
:''"First we got to battle against that mad Pokémon in the Slumbering Weald, and now this... It really feels like we’re getting caught up in the adventure of a lifetime!"

* The next morning, inside Magnolia's House
:''"It’s morning at last! And time for our adventure to truly start!"
:''"Er, well, there was weird heavy fog, and then this even weirder Pokémon appeared... <player> tried to fight it off! But then I think we both passed out or something. It’s all pretty hazy."
:''"Thanks, Professor! This is brilliant! It’s just like the one Lee has on him, too. Now we can Dynamax our Pokémon like he does!"
:''"The legend of my reign is finally about to begin!"
:''"Come on, <player>! I’ll beat you to the station!"

* Outside
:''"One last thing before we race, <player>. See, I’ve got some great advice for you!"
:''"You know how you sometimes see Pokémon wandering about out of the tall grass, yeah?"
:''"If you move real slow like, and crouch down, those Pokémon won’t pay you any notice."
:''"But on the other hand... If you whistle at them, you’ll be SURE to catch their attention!"
:''"If you’re a bit rubbish as whistling, just remember this: "Need a fail-proof trick? Press the Left Stick!""
:''"Try it out, and let’s see who can catch the most Pokémon, <player>!"
:''"You remember Wedgehurst Station, right? Where we went to pick up Lee before. That’ll be the goal, so see you there!"

;[[Wedgehurst]]
:''"Come on, <player>! You’ll never beat me to the station at that pace!"
:''"So, out with it, <player>! How many did you catch? I caught a really special one!"
::'''If the player did not catch any Pokémon''' :''"And you got... Not one?! What were you doing this whole time? You’re going to want a team if you’re a Trainer!"
::'''If the player caught one Pokémon''' :''"And you’ve got yourself... Ooh, just one! Looks like we’re at a draw. Though we are rivals and all, so that’s fair!"
::'''If the player caught multiple Pokémon''' :''"But look at how many you caught! You’re well on your way to building a fine team."
:''"That’s a technical machine! A TM, mate! With a TM like that, you can teach your Pokémon a new move in a flash. And you can use them again and again, too. That one can teach the move Swift. Lee gave it to me ages ago, and now it’s yours."
:''"The Gym Challenge will begin in Motostoke! And our train’s waiting, so let’s go!"

* Train Station
:''"What’re you doing here, Mum?"
:''"Thanks, Mum. And just think how lucky you are—mother to the first ever pair of Champion brothers! Because I’m certain to be the Champion next. You’ll see!"
:''"Wish us luck! Not that we’ll need it."
:''"There are loads of brilliant Trainers and all kinds of Pokémon out there waiting for us! My excitement’s running ahead of me even faster than that train can go, Name! Come on! We’re off!"

* On the Train
:''"Motostoke is surrounded by a vast Wild Area! It’s a real sight. There’re all sorts of wild Pokémon just wandering about—everywhere you look! Plus, you can camp out, do a spot of fishing... I don’t think I could ever get tired of it!"

;[[Meetup Spot]]
* Inside Station
:''"Hey, Mr. Station Master! Isn’t this the Wild Area? What’re we stopped here for?"
:''"What’s there to be sorry about? This is brilliant!"
::'''Brilliant?/What is?''' :''"This Wild Area is massive! There are loads of Pokémon to battle here! You get it, don’t you, <player>? This is the best possible place to put together the greatest team!"

* Outside
:''"Look at that!"
:''"That’s Motostoke, way off that way!"
:''"And between there and here are countless new Pokémon waiting to be met!"
:''"Oh, hello. And if it isn’t Sonia."
:''"Yikes... Being an adult has got its own challengers, eh?"
:''"Well, I’m off to go stick my head in as many of those red glowing dens as I can find. I’m going to battle the snot out of a bunch of Dynamax Pokémon and fill in another page in the tale of my legend!"

;[[Motostoke]]
* Outside
:''"You made it, too?"
:''"Motostoke Stadium... This is where the opening ceremony will be held."
:''"Everyone’ll be watching the opening ceremony for the Gym Challenge... My mum... Your mum... The whole world!"
:''"It’s getting me a bit nervous, really... Naw, this isn’t nerves... I’m only trembling because I’m so excited!"
:''"Come on, <player>! It’s time the world learned our names!"

* [[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"Would you take a look at this... The place is packed with Gym Challengers! Every one of these folks is another rival!"
:''"Let’s get signed up!"
:''"Seriously? What a piece of work..."
:''"Well, now you’ve had two, because I am as well!"
:''"I’m Hop! I’m Leon’s little brother, in fact. And the next Champion. Get me all signed up, would you?"
:''"That’s the League Chairman for you! Even booked us all hotel rooms! I’m off to check out the fancy digs!"

* Budew Drop Inn
:''"Oh hey, Sonia! What’re you doing at our hotel?"
:''"What’s this, then?"
:''"Huh... I suppose that hero must’ve been about as strong as Lee, then! Looks like you’re going to have your hands full with plenty to research, though, Sonia. Black storms and swords and shields and all..."
:''"Probably so! And we’ll look out for you, too, Sonia. If we hear anything about any hero or whatnot, we’ll tell you!"
:''"I wasn’t expecting checking in would be such a big fuss, <player>! What’s going on? Sneaking in some Pokémon battles without me?"
:''"Don’t think you can get ahead of me that easily... I need to get some training in, so I’m joining! Here, I’ll even heal up your Pokémon, too."
:''"I’m Hop, one of this year’s Gym Challengers! And the one who’s gonna be the next Champion! Now let’s have us a nice two-on-two!"
:''"So you’re a Gym Challenger, too? Team Yell, was it? Pretty impressive that you already have a set of fans to call your own!"
::'''If talked to at any point''' :''"I guess we probably should head to the front desk to get checked in."
* The next morning
:''"Morning!"
:''"So this is it... Now my legend really begins!"
:''"Watch out, <player>! I’ll beat you to Motostoke Stadium!"

* [[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"I can’t wait for the first match! Pretty soon I’ll have so man fans, I’ll have to fight 'em off like Lee does!"
:''"Standing there on the pitch...in the stadium...in front of everyone! There’s really no words for it, but... I can barely contain myself! My heart’s racing!"
:''"Let’s do it, <player>! You know the Gym Challenge has a set order that you’ve gotta visit the Gyms in, right? The first is in Turffield! And to get there, we need to head to Route 3!"

* Outside
:''"There you are! I’ve been waiting! Let’s have a battle, you and me. We’ll get in a bit of training!"
::'''All right!''' :''"I knew you’d be up for it! We’ve got to stay keener than anyone else if we want to steal the spotlight from our rivals!"
::'''But why?''' :''"Seriously? This is the moment when you play along and act pumped up for battle! If you’ve gotta ask why we should bother training, you’ll never make it through the Gym Challenge!"

* In Battle
:''"Keep up, mate! This is our chance to see if we are up to the Gym Challenge!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"Typical! Should’ve known you’d mastered type matchups!"
::'''When the player lands a critical hit''' :''"Landing a critical hit like that... You’re pretty tough when you get serious!"
::'''When Hop lets out his last Pokémon''' :''"Backed into a corner? You got it all wrong, mate! This’ll just make my victory all the better!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's same-type move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Branch Poke]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Water Gun]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Ember]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''After defeating Hop''' :''"Was that really good training? Looks like I’d better keep my guard up!"

* After Battle
:''"Just what I’d expect from my rival! You know what? I’ll even give you one of my League Cards! That’s how good I think you did in that battle."
:''"Our Gym Challenge starts right now—from here in Motostoke! Although the first Gym Leader we’ll have to challenge is in a town way far off from here... Still, you’d better believe I’m going to keep on winning my way to that Championship Match!"
:''"Hello, Galar! Meet your next Champion! From the sleepy town of Postwick—it’s me, Hop!"

;[[Turffield]]
:''"Look! Just take a look at that, <player>! That’s Turffield Stadium down there!"
:''"The Gym Leader just returned, too. Milo’s his name. But the place is jam-packed with challengers. It’ll be ages before our turn comes up..."
:''"Oh... But Sonia was looking for you, <player>. She wanted to ask you something. She tried asking me, but I had no idea. She’s up on that what’s-her-face hill. You know the one."
:''"What? You don’t know the hill? Well, have a look at your map if you’re not sure!"
:''"Oh! If it isn’t Sonia’s Yamper! He’s a good boy. He’ll show you the way!"
::'''If talked to again''' :''"What? You don’t know the hill? Well, have a look at your map if you’re not sure!"
:''"Take a look at this, <player>!"
:''"The Grass Gym Badge! I got it in one try!"
:''"I reckon I’m just about the greatest when it comes to wrangling Wooloo... I’ve had plenty of practice at it, after all!"
:''"But I’m sure you can win this one, too. After all, you are my rival!"

;{{rt|5|Galar}}
:''"There you are, <player>!"
:''"I’m warning you, though... Any closer than that and we’re going to have to have a battle—you and me!"
:''"I warned you! We’re both Gym Challengers who’ve earned ourselves a Grass Badge. This is the perfect training!"

* In Battle
:''"Let’s have a taste of what a Gym Badge holder’s team can do!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"Typical! Should’ve known you’d mastered type matchups!"
::'''When the player lands a critical hit''' :''"Landing a critical hit like that... You’re pretty tough when you get serious!"
::'''When Hop uses a super-effective move''' :''"I’ve learned loads from studying Lee’s battles!"
::'''When Hop sends out his last Pokémon''' :''"Every one of my Pokémon is an ace! This is no problem at all!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's same-type move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Razor Leaf]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Water Pulse]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Flame Charge]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''After defeating Hop''' :''"We both got ourselves the same Grass Badge, so how come you’re so much stronger?!"

* After Battle
:''"You’ve gotten strong, <player>. Seems I’ve got to train even harder from now on."
:''"Next up is Nessa, the leader of the Water Gym!"

;[[Hulbury]]
:''"All right, mate! You’ve got both the Grass Badge and the Water Badge by now, right? In that case, we’re both headed for Motostoke and the Fire Gym Leader, Kabu! How about I share with you a little tip about that Leader Kabu? From what I heard, he’s holed up now in Galar Mine No. 2, undergoing some special training! If he’s in there, then we can’t take him on in Motostoke even if we zip right over there—putting the brakes on our Gym Challenge. So I say we head to Galar Mine No. 2 ourselves! Let’s go see what all the fuss is about!"

;[[Galar Mine No. 2]]
:''"Well, look at you, <player>!"
:''"Surrounded by adoring fans, eh? You’ll even be showing up Lee pretty soon!"
:''"Yeah? And can’t you see that I’m Hop, the Trainer who’ll be your next Champion?"
:''"You think I’m joking? I’ll prove it, then! And I think a battle with you lot would definitely end with some laughs!"
:''"Let’s take ’em together, <player>! You ready, mate?"
::'''Yes''' :''"The two of us were endorsed by the Champion himself! We’ll show you just what that means!"
::'''No''' :''"Got it! Then get yourself all ready for a good battle!"
:''"Nice one, <player>! That’s my rival for you!"
:''"Now then... Where could Kabu have gone off to? Let’s keep going. Maybe he’s further in!"
:''"That’s Kabu... Man, he’s wicked! No wonder he’s the Fire-type Gym Leader!"
:''"I remember Lee talking about Kabu. He said that a lot of Gym Challengers give up because they just can’t beat Kabu."
:''"Man, now I’m getting all fired up, too!"

;[[Motostoke Outskirts]]
:''"That Carkol from before... I guess it must’ve been here on a job. You do know about Poké Jobs by now, right?"
::'''I do''' :''"Course you do!"
::'''Poké what?''' :''"Looks like there’s no helping it, in that case... Settle down and let professor Hop teach you a thing or two! Let’s see if I can remember what Lee had written down in his old notebooks... Basically, you can have your Pokémon go about and help companies or other folks who are in need of something. You can take Poké Jobs from the Rotomi at any Pokémon Center, so give it a look sometime."
:''"Now I’m cream-cracked! I’m for the Budew Drop Inn and some sleep. Come tomorrow, that Fire Gym Leader Kabu better be ready, because I’ll be coming for him!"

;[[Motostoke]]
* Outside
:''"Slow moving, aren’t you, <player>?"
:''"I’ve already gone and earned my Fire Badge! That man of fire Kabu is just what you’d expect. Nearly got burnt in my battle with him! Even with my strongest team, it was definitely touch-and-go...but I still won in the end!"
:''"Get a shift on, <player>! I bet you could beat the man of fire, too!"

* [[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"Hey, <player>! I was on fire in my battle against Kabu!"
:''"<player>! I figured that if anyone could do it, you and <Pokémon> would be the ones...but still! That match had me right at the edge of my seat!"
:''"With all the Badges we’ve earned ourselves, I reckon we should be all right even against the fierce Pokémon you find deep in the Wild Area. Let’s go find out for ourselves!"

* Outside
:''"Hurry it up, <player>!"
:''"Huh?"
:''"You’re the Gym Leader, but you still came all the way to see us off? Oh, I bet you can already tell that I’m the one who’ll become the next Champion, yeah?"
:''"Thanks, you all! We’re gonna keep winning! We’ve got to if we want to face-off in the Champion Cup, after all!"
:''"Come on, <player>! Let’s head for Hammerlocke!"

;[[East Lake Axewell]]
:''"Hello again, Wild Area, my old friend! I’ve come back to you even stronger than before!"
:''"<player>! Hammerlocke is up that way—got it?"
:''"And, yeah, you could certainly rush straight there without a single detour..."
:''"but now that you and I have a few Gym Badges, we should be able to catch stronger Pokémon!"
:''"So I know what I’m doing. I’ll be catching myself some amazing Pokémon to fill in the next page in the tale of my legend!"
:''"Rubbish. More like you don’t know enough to recognize greatness when you see it. My throws are the greatest, and my bro is the finest Champion the world has ever seen! I’m not gonna listen to you insulting him!"
:''"You’re on then. I know you challenged <player> to battle in Galar Mine No. 2 and lost to him/her there. And I’m his/her greatest rival. In other words...there’s no way you’re beating me."
:''"I’ll show this wally my real skills in battle! So, see you later, <player>! Let’s meet up in Hammerlocke when I’m through with him!"

;{{rt|6|Galar}}
:''"Oh, hey, <player>. You’re heading to Stow-on-Side, right?"
:''"Oi, Team Yell. Don’t suppose you’ll let us through?"
:''"Right..."
:''"What do you say, <player>? If we don’t get past them, we won’t be able to continue our Gym Challenge at Stow-on-Side..."
::'''I'll battle them!''' :''"You... Yeah, that’s the spirit!"
::'''Let me think...''' :''"I don’t figure thinking at them is going to change much about the situation. What else you got?"
:''"Think I’ll leave this to you, <player>. Keep up the pace."
:''"<player>... You and <Pokémon> were brilliant together!"
:''"See, Bede really wiped the floor with me the last time we battled... And don’t get me wrong—I can take a loss! Battling means you’ve got to lose sometimes."
:''"But he said that I was dragging Lee’s good name through the mud, being so rubbish like I was... And I just can’t get those words out of my head!"
:''"If I’m weak, then people’ll think Lee’s weak, too... But I don’t want that! I can’t let Lee get dragged down! He’s the unbeatable Champion! I’m gonna have to take some time figuring this out. See you around, <player>..."

;[[Stow-on-Side]]
:''"<player>..."
:''"I’m still not too sure what I should do about all that stuff I told you before... About me being weak and dragging down Lee’s good name and all, yeah?"
:''"But the only think I can do is get stronger, right? So I’m gonna try out all kinds of different things against you and see what works!"
::'''You're on!''' :''"Then let’s do this! I bet an all-out battle with my true rival will help me get my head on straight!"
::'''Wait a second...''' :''"What? Your rival is depressed over here, and you won’t lift a finger to help?"

* In Battle
:''"All I’m after is victory, and I’m counting on you to help me grab it!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"Who wouldn’t aim for a supereffective hit if they had the chance, right?"
::'''When Hop lands a super-effective move''' :''"How’s that? Supereffective damage! I’m always looking for an opening!"
::'''When the player lands a critical hit''' :''"Ouch! Even I hurt when you manage to land a critical hit like that one!"
::'''When Hop lets out his last Pokémon''' :''"I don’t know what I can do to try to win now... but all I can do is try! There nothing else for it!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's same-type move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Razor Leaf]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Water Pulse]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Flame Charge]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''After defeating Hop''' :''"My strategy goes right to pot when I’ve got all these bad thoughts running through my head..."

* After Battle
:''"Hrmmm... I tried switching my team members in and out to max out their potential in every matchup, but... We just couldn’t get it together somehow... Maybe that’s why I’m still so weak..."
:''"But Lee really is the greatest Trainer! And I don’t want people to be laughing at him all because his little brother is rubbish!"
:''"It’s not enough! I’ve got to try harder! And harder and harder till no one’s laughing! I’m off, mate! Off to find the kind of Pokémon that I can really draw the strength out of!"

;[[Hammerlocke]]
:''"Oh! <player>!
:''"First that forest, then that mad quiz... I’ve been lost in every sense of the word! But it looks like I’ve finally caught up to you again."
:''"Come with me to Route 7! I could use a bit of competition to motivate me!"

;{{rt|7|Galar}}
:''"All right, <player>! You and I both know I’ve got to keep on trying different strategies if I’m gonna get strong enough to catch up to Lee... No! Not just catch up! If I want to surpass him!"
:''"So I think you know what’s coming, mate... Let me try out my latest in a battle against you!"

* In Battle
:''"All right! Time for me to test exactly how far I can go with my latest and greatest team!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"The way you battle… You know, it kind of reminds me of Lee!"
::'''When Hop uses a super-effective move''' :''"How’d you like that attack?! Now I really feel like we’re getting somewhere!"
::'''When Hop lands a critical hit''' :''"Considered the possibility your opponent might land a critical hit on your Pokémon, mate?"
::'''When Hop lets out his last Pokémon''' :''"I’m the kind of guy who gets fired up to win in these situations!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's signature move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Drum Beating]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Snipe Shot]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Pyro Ball]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''After defeating Hop''' :''"This is rubbish... My team can’t perform if I can’t get my own head straight as their Trainer..."

* After Battle
:''"Before we ever started out on this journey... I remember watching Lee on the telly. He was like a bright star, so strong I could hardly bear to look right at him. But now, I can tell just how strong he really is... And what he’s got that I haven’t..."
:''"But I’m getting stronger, too. Maybe not as fast as you, but fine. Whatever! Thanks for letting me battle you again. And here. I’ll heal up your team for you, too!"
:''"I think I know what it is I really want... I want to battle Lee—I want to take on my bro. But not just that, I want to beat him! I want to be the one who beats the unbeatable Champion! And I’m going to! My mind’s made up! You and me are going to have another battle once I get my Gym Badge in Circhester!"

;[[Circhester]]
* [[Circhester Stadium]]
:''"Arghhh! I lost! It all went to pot!"
:''"There must’ve been something wrong with my strategy, but I did just what I’ve seen Lee do in battles! Here! Take it! It’s the Rock{{sup/8|Sw}}/Ice{{sup/8|Sh}} Leader’s League Card. You should check out the Gym Leader you’ll have to face, too."
:''"And me... I’ve gotta figure out what to put on my team once and for all, and no more of this doubting!"

* Bob’s Your Uncle
:''"Got that Gym Badge, <player>? Nice one!"
:''"Based on those statues we saw back in Stow-on-Side, the sword and the shield were actually two Pokémon, right?"
:''"You remember the Pokémon we met that day? Do you think...it could’ve been one of them? Either the sword or the shield Pokémon?"
:''"Come on! You know what I’m talking about, right, <player>?"
::'''In the Slumbering Weald?''' :''"Exactly! The mad Pokémon we ran into in the fog! Don’t you think that could’ve been it?"
::'''I really don't''' :''"Not so sharp when it’s not about battle, huh? Don’t you remember that mad Pokémon we ran into in the fog that day? Don’t you think that could’ve been it?"

* Hero's Bath
:''"What, like some hero waving around a sword and shield? Pull the other one. Though...I guess I’d fancy a shield{{sup/8|Sw}}/sword{{sup/8|Sh}}, if I had to take my pick."
:''"Why don’t we show her, <player>! Think we can pull off a real heroic battle?"
::'''Absolutely?''' :''"Sonia treated us to a great meal. After that curry, I feel like I’ve got the energy to wrestle a Bewear!"
::''"Time for a little exhibition match, starring the future Champion!"
::'''Give me a minute...''' :''"All right, I get it. Prepare as much as you like!"

* In Battle
:''"I’m counting on you, partner!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"Now that’s a proper move!"
::'''When the player lands a critical hit''' :''"Steady on, partner! I feel your pain, and we’ll get them back for it!"
::'''When Hop lets out his last Pokémon''' :''"Think you’ve got me cornered? Not even close! It’ll be the greatest when I steal this win back!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's signature move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"

:::'''[[Snipe Shot]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Pyro Ball]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''After defeating Hop''' :''"I still can’t even beat you, my true rival... But I think I’m starting to see the light!"

* After Battle
:''"I’m going to keep challenging that Gym! Then, once I get that Gym Badge, I’ll be heading for Route 9 to take on Spikemuth next."

;{{rt|7|Galar}}
:''"<player>!"
:''"This is mad... You know what I mean?"
::'''Where's Leon?/What was that loud noise?''' :''"That’s what I’d like to know! That noise—it was like some massive explosion! There was this huge surge of red light, and then wild Pokémon just started Dynamaxing around me, brazen as you like!"
:''"Take a look at the news!"
:''"See! There’s Lee! He really is the greatest, right?"
:''"Lee and his Charizard took down that Dynamax Pokémon in the blink of an eye!"
:''"I knew Lee was strong, but this! Really makes you appreciate how great he is, eh? Let’s go meet up with him, <player>! He should be at Hammerlocke Stadium!"

;[[Hammerlocke]]
* Outside
:''"Over here!"
:''"Yeah, but why?"
:''"Hey, do you reckon there’s anything we could do to help out?"
:''"Right. Course! You’re the unbeatable Champion, after all, eh?"
:''"I know what I need to do, all right—defeat that Piers once and for all! You’re off to Hammerlocke Stadium, yeah, <player>? Raihan’s a tough nut to crack!"

* [[Hammerlocke Stadium]]
:''"Raihan! I’m here to see just how good you are!"
:''"I’ve tried out lots of different strategies, and I’ve made up my mind about how I want to battle. I’m not gonna lose! I’m gonna beat you, and <player>, and even Lee!"

* Train Station
:''"Wait up, <player>! I’m coming, too! I had Raihan beat in no time! Once I got my head on straight and stopped doubting every decision I made, that is... Heh!"
:''"I reckon I’m still the favorite to win, but I’m up against my true rival, <player>... So I’ll wring out every last thing I learned during my battle with you, Raihan, to beat him/her! So get a move on, <player>! The train’s waiting!"

* On the Train
:''"We’re finally headed for Wyndon! There’s a lot I want to check out there. There’s that big tower...and the monorail... And Wyndon Stadium, where the whole of Galar—no, the whole world is gonna be watching us!"
:''"You get it, right? You and me are gonna make our match there the greatest match that ever was!"

;{{rt|10|Galar}}
:''"So this is Route 10! It’s like a wall made out of snow!"
:''"Bet there’ll be Ice-type Pokémon crawling out of the woodwork in a place like this!"
:''"Come on, <player>! Reckon we’ll be able to train ourselves up to new heights here, before the Champion Cup starts?"
:''"I believe in myself and the Pokémon on my team, and I know we’ll all get loads stronger!"
:''"So I’m off! See you in Wyndon, mate!"

[[File:Hop Twilight Wings.png|thumb|250px|Hop in [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]]]

===In Pokémon: Twilight Wings===
Hop made a cameo appearance in ''[[TW01|Letter]]'', where he tied a friendship bracelet to the right foreleg of his {{p|Wooloo}}. He briefly reappeared in ''[[TW02|Training]]'', where he and his Wooloo were watching television.

Hop then appeared more prominently in ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', where he was revealed to be watching television with Wooloo so he could study [[Leon]]'s technique and figure out how to become stronger. However, his admiration of Leon's {{p|Charizard}} caused Wooloo to run away. This prompted Hop to desperately search around town for it. By the end of the episode, Hop was reunited with Wooloo, whereupon he promised it that they will both challenge the Pokémon League together, and assured that it was perfect the way it was.

|desc={{p|Wooloo}} is Hop's only known Pokémon. It was seen playing with Hop, who gave it a friendship bracelet. Wooloo made another cameo in ''[[TW02|Training]]'', where it was watching television with its Trainer.

Wooloo then appeared prominently in ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', where it became jealous of Hop's admiration of [[Leon]]'s {{p|Charizard}} and ran away from home. It eventually jumped off a cliff to try and fly like Charizard, only to fail. Wooloo was subsequently found by [[Milo]], who sent Wooloo home on the [[Flying Taxi]]. It reunited with Hop, who promised it that they will both challenge the [[Pokémon League]] together, and assured that it was perfect the way it was.

Wooloo's known moves are {{m|Tackle}}{{tt|*|Mentioned only}} and {{m|Defense Curl}}{{tt|*|Mentioned only}}.}}

==In the TCG==
[[File:HopSPromo5.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Hop]]
{{main|Hop (Sword & Shield 165)}}
'''Hop''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|V Starter Sets}} before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion, with artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It allows the player to draw three cards, the same effect as cards of previous rivals.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Hop's uniform number is "189", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 飛躍 ''hiyaku'', meaning "leaping".
* Hop is the only rival in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}} not to become a [[Gym Leader]] by the end of the games.

'''Leon''' (Japanese: '''ダンデ''' ''Dande'') is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Galar]] region's [[Galar League|Pokémon League]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

==In the games==
{{incomplete}}

Leon first appears in the games' introduction movie, where he is introduced as [[Galar]]'s undefeated [[Champion]] by [[Chairman Rose]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. He exchanges greetings with his opponent, [[Raihan]], who is challenging him with {{p|Duraludon}}, before [[Gigantamax]]ing his {{p|Charizard}}. Their subsequent battle is not shown on-screen, but Leon defeats Raihan to retain his title.

Later, Leon travels via train to [[Wedgehurst]], where he entertains a crowd outside Wedgehurst Station with Charizard until [[Hop]] and the [[player character|player]] meet him. Together, the trio return to Hop and Leon's home in [[Postwick]]. Once there, Leon reveals the gifts he brought for Hop and the player — the [[starter Pokémon]] {{p|Grookey}}, {{p|Scorbunny}} and {{p|Sobble}}. He allows the player and Hop to choose which of the three Pokémon they want, then adds the remaining Pokémon to his own [[party]]. Leon then watches the battle between the player and Hop before joining in a barbeque dinner he and Hop's mother hosts at their home.

In the English versions of the games, Hop refers to Leon by the nickname Lee. In all other languages, he is merely referred to as "older brother" or "brother".

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Leon's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
;Normal League Card
:"Leon is known far and wide for taking part in the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] at the tender age of 10 years old—and even more so for claiming victory in the Champion Cup on his first attempt. Ever since that victory, he and his partner {{p|Charizard}} have remained unbeaten in both League and exhibition matches. He is called "the unbeatable Champion" and is a hero to many Trainers. He has but one weakness: a dismal sense of direction. But don't worry—wherever he ends up, he makes sure everyone has a champion time!"
;Rare League Card
:"Leon's dream, even when he was still the Champion, was to make [[Galar]]ian Trainers the strongest Trainers in the world. In order to fulfill that dream, he has rebuilt [[Rose Tower]] into the {{gdis|Battle Tower|VIII}}, a facility dedicated to [[Pokémon battle]]s. People say that he seems even more lively now than he was as Champion. Leon has also commented that another reason he likes the tower so much is because it's impossible to get lost inside. Leon's biggest problem now is apparently coming up with a new signature catchphrase to replace "Let's have a champion time!""

{{incomplete|section}}
;[[Wyndon Stadium]] (intro)
:''"You know I don’t lose battles, Raihan!"''
:''"Charizard! Dynamax!"''

;[[Wedgehurst]]
:''"Hello, hello, Wedgehurst! Your Champion, Leon, is back! I promise I’ll keep doing my best to deliver the greatest battles for you all to watch!"''
:''"Well, thank you for that! I hope you’ll all carry on training up your Pokémon and never shy from battle. Then come challenge me for the Champion title!"''
:''"Too true that Charizard is blazingly strong. But other Pokémon can be strong as well! That’s why I want the strongest of challengers to fill the Gym Challenge and come battle me!"''
:''"My wish is for Galar’s Trainers to work together to become the strongest in all the world!"''
:''"Hop!"''
:''"So, my number-one fan in all the world has come out of his way to pick me up!"''
:''"Look at you, Hop! I reckon you’ve grown...exactly an inch and a quarter since the last time I saw you!"''
:''"And these bright eyes over here... I’ve got it! You must be <player>—am I right? I’ve heard loads about you from my little brother."''
:''"I’m the Galar region’s greatest-ever Pokémon Champion—and a massive Charizard fan, too. People call me the unbeatable Leon!"''
:''"That Hop... Always wanting to be the best, isn’t he? With a proper rival of his own, I bet he’d push himself to become something truly special..."''
:''"Well, everyone! I bid you farewell for today! But don’t you fret... I’ll always be around to make sure everyone in Galar can have a champion time!"''

;[[Postwick]]
* Giving the player and Hop their starter Pokémon
:''"Right then! The greatest gift from the greatest Champion... It’s show time, everyone!"''
:''"Take a good look, you two!"''
:''"The Grass-type Pokémon... Grookey!"''
:''"The Fire-type Pokémon... Scorbunny!"''
:''"And the Water-type Pokémon... Sobble!"''
:''"All right! Line up, everyone!"''
:''"Which will you choose?"''
::'''If talked to again''' : ''"<player>! My dream is to help make the Trainers of the Galar region strong as they can be. Choose a partner for yourself and become one of those strong Trainers, won't you?"
::'''Grookey''': ''"The Grass-type Pokémon Grookey, eh? It’s soothing—like a nice, long walk in the woods."''
::''"The Grass-type Pokémon Grookey, is it?"''
::'''Scorbunny''': ''"Scorbunny is Fire type. It’s filled to bursting with fiery passion!"''
::''"You’re set on the Fire-type Pokémon Scorbunny?"''
::'''Sobble''': ''"That’s the Water-type Sobble. It adapts to anything, as surely as water flows."''
::''"Going with the Water-type Pokémon Sobble?"''
:::'''Yes''' :''"You chose Grookey/Scorbunny/Sobble!"''
:::'''No''': ''"It’s natural to want to consider your options! Though going with your instincts is fine, as well! You choose your dear partner however you like!"''
:''"I bet you will be, Hop. That’s why I brought along these Pokémon for you and <player>. So the two of you can battle and train and grow stronger together...to try to reach me!"''
:''"And you’ll come with me! Charizard will show you the ropes. He’s strict—but real strong and real kind, too!"''

* The following day
:''"You spent the whole night with that new partner of yours, right, Hop? You two getting on all right? Understanding one another? Maybe even built up a bit of love?"''
:''"Then listen up, new Trainers! Believe in yourself and your Pokémon! If you trust in one another and carry on battling side by side long enough, then someday..."''
:''"you might even become worthy rivals for me, the unbeatable Champion!"''
:''"Oh, and you think you’re worthy of calling yourself such a proper Trainer already, Hop? Guess I’ll be the judge of that! Let’s see how you handle yourself in a battle against your friend, if he's/she’s up for it."''
:''"What do you say? Willing and ready to take Hop on in the first-ever Pokémon battle of your life?"''
:::'''Yes''' : ''"Believe in your partner Pokémon! And care for them, too, with all your heart. Do those two things, and I’m certain you’ll learn to choose the moves that suit your Pokémon. And more importantly...to have a champion time battling with them!"''
:::'''No''' : ''"Than how about I give you a spot of advice. You don’t want to go getting so caught up in things that you forget everything you’ve accomplished till now. Take a moment to jot down what you’ve done, in order to save a record of your progress!"
:''"Looks like everyone’s on board, Pokémon and Trainers alike? Then let’s do this!"''

* After defeating Hop
:''"You and your Pokémon all fought hard. Made me almost want to let out Charizard and join in on all the fun! Good effort out there, <Pokémon>! Why don’t I get you all sorted?"''
:''"And, <player>, you’ve got real promise! In fact, I’ve got a favor to ask you... Be a real rival to Hop, would you? Push him, and make the both of you stronger!"''
:''"You? Join the Gym Challenge? You think you’re ready for the single greatest competition in the Galar region? Not putting the cart before the Rapidash there, Little Brother?"
:''"If that’s really what you want to do, you two have a whole lot you need to learn about Pokémon."
:''"Especially your friend <player>. Before you think about getting Gym Badges, best to think about getting a Pokédex."
:''"A Trainer’s Pokédex helps them learn lots of things about all the Pokémon out there, including their strengths. But it’s more than just a collection of data, you know. It’s a record of a Trainer’s love and passion for Pokémon training!"
:''"That’s the kind of enthusiasm a Trainer needs! I’ll let the professor know to expect you."

;[[Slumbering Weald]]
:''"Hop! <player>!"
:''"Oh, that's nice to hear from the little brother who had me worried sick! I'd been waiting ages for your two, and you never showed! Of course I came looking for the both of you!"''
:''"The little chap's just fine. Though all of you had fainted by the time I found you here. You know this place is out of bounds... But it took courage to come in here all the same. And I can understand well enough why you did it. You did good, Hop!"''
:''"Attacked by a mad Pokémon? What are you talking about, Hop?"''
:''"Your moves passed right through it? So, the fearsome Pokémon they say live in the Slumbering Weald... Are they actually illusions or something? Get strong enough and maybe the two of you could be the ones to reveal the truth someday. For now, let's simply get out of this place. You'll be all right now that I'm here with you!"''

;[[Wedgehurst]]
:''"Well done! You reached the goal and managed to find the Pokémon Research Lab! You did a far sight better than I did my first time. I'm hopeless with directions. See how your world has already grown, all thanks to having Pokémon with you? I know I'm sure glad I've got Charizard with me...to keep me from getting lost all the time. Now, in we go!"''

* Pokémon Lab
:''"I've got to give it to Professor Magnolia. Everything in here looks fascinating..."''
:''"Good to see you, too, Yamper! Yamper here is a real champ when it comes to helping you find your way around. He came to my rescue plenty of times back in the day, when I got lost on the road. Oh yeah, and that's his Trainer, Sonia. What can I say about Sonia? Well, I like the way she cooks. She makes food you can gobble down in a flash."''
:''"This is <player>. He's/She's a new Pokémon Trainer. Set him/her on the right path, would you?"''

;{{rt|2|Galar}}
:''"And I'm here to teach you how! You'll need to catch Pokémon if you've got any hope of filling in that Pokédex."''

* Noticing the player has already caught a Pokémon
:''"Only...look at you, little <player>! You’ve already caught some on your own! You mum gave you those Poké Balls, did she?

* If the player has not caught a Pokémon
:''"Every Pokémon has got a type or two, which can make it good against some opponents but poor against others. That's the reason you'll want to catch different Pokémon--to cover one another's weaknesses. Now, let's all have a champion time as I show you how it's done."''

* During the catching tutorial
:''"This is the way a real Champion catches Pokémon!"''

* After the catching tutorial/noticing the player has already caught a Pokémon
:''"I'll give you some more Poké Balls. In return, I'll only ask that you catch plenty of Pokémon! The Pokémon around here seem easy to catch. Almost like they're itching to join some Trainer's team, wouldn't you say?"''
:''"And of course, they get Exp. Points from battle, so take on the other Trainers you meet along the path to help your Pokémon thrive. Your team will keep on changing and growing as you get stronger together, no doubt... But even I don't know exactly how yet! Show your Champion something good, all right?"''

* Outside [[Professor Magnolia]]'s house
:''"So have you unraveled all the secrets of the Dynamax phenomenon yet?"''

* [[Professor Magnolia]]'s house
:''"You must already know about Dynamaxing, right, <player>? Professor Magnolia's been doing research into the Dynamax phenomenon for years and years. And it takes a proper understanding of the thing if you plan to use Dynamaxing to the fullest!"''
:''"Hop and <player> only just started out as Pokémon Trainers... There's still loads they don't know yet!"''
:''"Well yeah...you're not wrong. That goal's precisely the reason I gave them both Pokémon, in fact. Right then. In that case...how about this? Let's see if the two of you can show me such a brilliant battle that I'm left with no choice but to endorse you. And don't worry. I'll make sure both your teams are in good shape before the battle starts."''

* Outside [[Professor Magnolia]]'s house
:"You remember what I asked, don't you? I think you've got potential, and that's why I want you to be a real rival to Hop. And that's direct from your Champion Leon!"

* Before battling Hop
:''"Listen, you two. The reason I'm unbeatable is because I learn from every battle I see or take part in. That's how I've gotten to where I am today. So show me something good in this battle!"''

* After battling Hop
:''"<player>! Hop! Well, after seeing a match like that one... I suppose I've little choice but to give you both an [[endorsement]] as Champion!"''
:''"You may both be young still, and plenty rough around the edges, but it was a proper battle. Charizard and I were both feeling the excitement in every last cell in our bodies! Hop, you've always tended to get caught up in things like how you throw your Poké Ball out... Things that have nothing to do with real strength. Honestly, I'd been worried about you still obsessing over that sort of nonsense, but it seems you really have grown a bit, Little Brother! And I'd like to see some more thrilling Pokémon battles out of you, too, <player>."''
:''"Trust you to pull something like this! They say Wishing Stars fall down for those who have a true wish in their heart, you know."''

;[[Motostoke]]
:''"I'd surely never make it to the stadium without you to show me the way, partner. Even with a huge old thing like this bang in the middle of the city, I still get lost."''
:''"<player>! All right? One look tells me that you've become a Trainer worthy of that endorsement I gave you! And...yes, I reckon you might even be ready to use this... Here, try giving this to your partner to hold!"''
:''"You can take that lift up to the city's upper level, if you're headed for the stadium next."''

* If talked to again
:''"I guess you might want to have a look around the city first. Only don't get lost like I do! When you're ready to visit the stadium, take the lift to get up there!"''

;[[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"You've made it at last, Hop. And you, too, <player>!"''
:''"The chairman certainly seems to be in high spirits! Now, listen closely, you two. You've both only just started on your path as Trainers. If you want to win, you need to do more than just train your Pokémon. You need to train yourselves, too."''

;[[Hammerlocke]]
:''"<player>! Seems you're doing well collecting Gym Badges."''
:''"But Hop... Did something happen with him? He was acting really odd when I ran into him. He took one look at him and immediately was like, "I'm so sorry, Lee!" It might be the first time I've heard him apologize for anything, and I've no idea what it was for!"''
:''"Maybe he's feeling down because he's had some hard losses in battle?"''
::'''He lost to that Challenger Bede''' :''"When you lose, you feel down in the dumps. But then there's nowhere left to go but back up! You've got to think on why it was you lost, though. You know, that little brother of mine...I think he might yet become a surprisingly great Trainer!"''
::'''I think so''' :''"At least I’ve got you to keep an eye on him. You will look out for Hop, won’t you? As his rival."
:''"Blast, and look at the time! Nearly forgot my meeting with the chairman. That Oleana really lets me hear it when I'm late! Now if only I could remember which way to go..."''
:''"Anyway, I'd say that you should go and say hello to Raihan while you're here, <player>. He's the greatest rival I've got and the final hurdle you'll have to face in the Gym Challenge. He should still be around the vault, if you hurry. It's down that way--on the way to Route 6."''

* After defeating [[Opal]]
:''"Hey, Sonia! And <player>, too! You felt that shaking, right? Seems Chairman Rose is testing something again."''
:''"Is that so? I can make sure the chairman knows."''

;{{rt|9|Galar}}
:''"<player>! Thanks for coming, but I've got a handle on this! Whatever's making that noise, I'll see to it!"''
:''"I already told you, didn't I? Keep your eye on the goal! And for you, that's winning the Gym Challenge! The only Gym Badge left is the one you'll get from the Dragon Gym's Leader, Raihan. Right? Raihan is the only Trainer out there I consider a real rival. He's that good, you know!"''
:''"And there I go again! Sorry, but I suppose this is no time for me to be stopping for a chat. There's a bit of trouble here with my name on it. But don't you worry about a thing! The unbeatable champion is here to look after things and keep you all safe!"''
:''"That came from the tunnel, wouldn't you say? Seems I'm about to have a champion time!"''

;[[Hammerlocke]]
* After defeating [[Piers]]
:''"Well, I am the unbeatable Champion, after all! But what all is going on here?"''
:''"Did the chairman know anything?"
:'''There must be!/Yeah, we'll help!''' :''"Thanks! I appreciate the thought. But all I could ever ask of you would be that you join me in the greatest final match ever. I'll do my part to make that happen by keeping everybody's future safe. So you just keep on doing your part by winning your way through the Gym Challenge!"''
:''"Looks like we all know what we need to do. So, you two--clear the Gym Challenge so we can meet again at the Champion Cup!"''

;[[Wyndon Stadium]]
:''"<player>!"''
:''"That was incredible. Brilliant. Honestly...there were even tears rolling down my face before I knew it. To think that the two of you set out together from the same town, built up the greatest teams, and arrived here at this point to throw everything you had at one another... That burning desire to win... Those moves filled with undefeatable passion! It was battling at its very purest, in every possible way! Even though there were some Trainers who weren't sure whether you were fit to be endorsed for the Gym Challenge at first..."''
:''"Well then, all the more reason! My team members and I will give everything that we've got in us to defeat our challenger. And the challenger standing before us might well end up being you, <player>. In fact, that's precisely what I'm hoping for!"''
:''"Best to refill your energy stores first! Why don't we go get some dinner together?"''

;[[Rose Tower]]
:''"I think I understand well enough. What I don't understand is why we ought to cancel tomorrow's tournament in order to solve a problem that's a thousand years away from affecting any of us! What difference is one day going to make? My duty as Champion isn't this...this madness. It's to carry out that Championship Match! That's what Galar wants--and what I want! It's what we've all been looking forward to for so long!"''
:''"In a thousand years! Fine. Look. I think I understand your concerns, Chairman. And I give my word I'll help you with your plans...just as soon as tomorrow's match is over."''
:''"Never mind any of this, Hop, <player>. Let's head back to the hotel, and we'll all grab dinner together, yeah? It's on me, so you can order whatever you fancy."''
:''"If you'll excuse us, Chairman Rose... And I do hope you'll watch tomorrow's match. It's sure to be one for the history books."''

;Wyndon Stadium
* Champion Cup Finals intro
:''"It probably goes without saying, but... hello, Galar! I’m your Champion, Leon!"''
:''"The chairman is tied up with some business, so I hope no one minds me stepping in on his behalf..."''
:''"in order to lead you all to greater heights as Pokémon Trainers of the Galar region!"''
:''"The time has come for you to battle it out until only the greatest challenger remains!"''
:''"So, on behalf of the chairman, allow me to say... let the Finals matches begin!"''

* After clearing the Finals
:''"The tense, still air on the pitch... And the exact opposite from the audience, cheering and yelling... They're both fantastic, wouldn't you say?"''
:''"But remember, the audience is also a bit cruel... They want nothing more than to see one of us lose, after all! It can fill you with fear knowing that, but I absolutely love pushing past the fear. I love giving it everything I've got as a Trainer and seeing my team give everything they've got to seize another victory! It's the greatest feeling in the world, and I can't get enough of it!"''
:''"I can feel my partners itching with anticipation inside their Poké Balls... We're going to have a real champion time!"''
:''"I'm the Galar region's Champion, Leon! Me and Charizard, and all the rest of our team, will use all our knowledge and experience to crush you completely!"''

* After Rose's interruption
:''"I don't know! But everything he was saying yesterday... Did he really pull this crazy stunt to solve some problem a thousand years in the future?! I've got to go see what's going on... I'm the Champion! I have to go!"''
:''"I should've realized what the chairman intended to do before it came to this... I'll take responsibility now for fixing this mess! This is the real Champion time!"''

;[[Energy Plant|Tower Summit]]
:''"You came to help me in spite of the danger? Thanks, Hop. And you, <player>. You two really have grown tremendously! But no need for you kids to worry. It seems like some power of {{p|Eternatus}}'s was keeping my team from Dynamaxing, but...we've had a champion time all the same!"''
:''"Charizard and the rest of my champion team members have really worn Eternatus down."''
:''"Now if I can simply catch it in a Poké Ball, we should be able to get this madness under control. Then everything will be back to normal. So watch this! It's going to be a real champion catch!"''

;Wyndon Stadium
* Before battle
:''"My matches are always sold out, but this... I've never seen a crowd this wild!"''
:''"Everyone knows what you did for us this week, <player>... They know you're the one who caught Eternatus and saved the future of the Galar region."''
:''"A real hero, who battled alongside the Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}... I couldn't have dreamed of a better challenger to help increase my winning streak!"''
:* If the player does not have [[Eternatus]] in their party
::''"Now that I've seen just what kind of strength you possess as the greatest of challengers...crushing you into the dirt will show everyone just how strong their Champion truly is!"''
:* If the player has Eternatus in their party
::''"Oh... And you've even added Eternatus to your party. The greatest challenger along with the most powerful Pokémon--is that it? Now you're really getting me excited!"''
:''"Come on, <player>! Let's make this a final match that'll go down in Galar's history! No! A match that'll change Galar forever!"''
:''"We're gonna have an absolutely champion time!"''

* After sending out first Pokémon
:''"It's one of the duties of the Champion to get the crowd fired up!"''

* Upon first receiving a super effective hit
:''"A supereffective hit... I'd expect nothing less from your team!"''

* Upon first landing a super effective hit
:''"Aiming for supereffective hits is a surefire way to claim victory!"''

* Upon first receiving a [[critical hit]]
:''"A critical hit... Hah! Pretty good, Challenger!"''

* Upon first landing a critical hit
:''"Don't get caught up on a critical hit. Focus on what you're going to do next!"''

* Before sending out final Pokémon
:''"I'm not finished having a champion time here! And I won't let anyone finish it for me!"''

* Upon [[Gigantamax]]ing Charizard
:''"I'll show you what Charizard can really do! It's Gigantamax time!"''

*Upon using {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}
:''"It’s a champion time to turn up the heat! Charizard, time for our G-Max Wildfire!"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"My time as Champion is over... But what a champion time it’s been! Thank you for the greatest battle I’ve ever had!"''

* After being defeated
:''"Congratulations, <player>!"''
:''"You’ve beat even the unbeatable Champion— making you the new Champion of the region!"''
:''"You’ve become a first-rate Trainer, all right."''
:''"I offer you my heartfelt congratulations!"''
:''"And now that you’ve grown so strong, perhaps it’s time I started looking ahead myself."''
:''"It’s time we adults started working on improving the here and now, for the sake of all that’s to come!"''
:''"And you, <player>! What you ought to do now is..."''
:''"believe in yourself and your partner Pokémon, and keep on blasting ahead!"''
:''"In order to create that bright future we all hope to see!"''
:''"People of Galar!"''
:''"Here you have it! A new legend born right before your eyes!"''
:''"Your Champion, <player>!"''
:''"Bet you can’t wait to see what kind of future a kid with this kind of strength might bring about!"''
:''"I sure can’t! Let’s watch and see what he/she can do!"''

;[[Slumbering Weald]]
* [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]
:''"And I’m here to keep an eye on them. They did technically descend from the original kings of Galar, after all."
:''"Seems you lot have been up to all sorts of things while I was stuck in Rose Tower trying to take care of the mess the chairman left behind."
:''"Hop!"
:''"Just so you know, I saw your Pokémon battle against Champion <player>."
:''"You sure have gotten strong! You were so good, I nearly sent out my Charizard without thinking, wanting to join in on the fun!"
:''"It seems like you’ve found your own path to walk in life, Hop."
:''"As your older brother… No, as your rival, you have my full support!"

* Before battle
:''"<player>! I’ve been waiting for you. Always knew you’d be able to win your way here. Now, how about you take on Challenger Leon with everything that you’ve got?"''
* Upon being defeated
:''"Battling against a Champion like you... It really is the best... And since you managed to defeat me, you’ll be moving up the ranks here at the Battle Tower."''
* After being defeated
:''"I knew you had it in you, <player>! I was sure you and your Pokémon would blast right through the first stage of the Battle Tower! But don’t go thinking you’ve seen all the Battle Tower has to offer. We’re only getting started!"''

;Poké Ball Tier
* Before battle
:''"Well done, <player>! Just as I knew you’d do! I never expected the Poké Ball Tier would hold you long... Now it’s time you and I had some fun!"''
* Upon being defeated
:''"I’m glad we’ve got such a strong Champion here in Galar, but even more than that... I’m gutted to have lost! Thanks for always giving me the chance to have the greatest battles. But I don’t plan on losing the next one!"''
* After being defeated
:''"Your Pokémon certainly look delighted to battle alongside you, <player>! But of course they do! They’re lucky enough to battle with a Trainer who knows just how to draw out the best of them! That’s it. I’m gonna be sure to draw out even more of my own team members from now on, too!"''

;Great Ball Tier
* Before battle
:''"The Battle Tower is the place to go if you want to see how Trainers dedicated to growing stronger live and do battle. Looks as though your own strength is about as amazing as ever, <player>. But I’ll not just take your word for it!"''
* Upon being defeated
:''"You and your team are utterly brilliant. You’ve gone beyond me now... So it’s time we move you up a rank! But I don’t plan on sitting on my bum. The next time we meet in the Battle Tower, I’ll make you regret winning your way to facing me!"''
* After being defeated
:''"The strong desire to win! That’s the trigger that makes you accumulate new skills and transform experience into strength! And you and your team—you’ve got a real great desire to win, don’t you! Love it! But you still haven’t seen the real challenge the Battle Tower is waiting to throw at you!"''

;Ultra Ball Tier
* Before battle
:''"My dream has always been to make the people of the Galar region stronger. And this Battle Tower is making that dream come true! So come on, <player>! Think you and I can get even stronger, too? A fierce battle is the only way to do it!"''
* Upon being defeated
:''"You never stop surprising me, you know that? I’m really astounded at how far you’ve come! Right then! Let’s move you up a rank! There are no limits when it comes to Pokémon! Keep on having a champion time!"''
* After being defeated
:''"Now, that’s an absolutely champion time! The stronger you get, the more the Trainers here at the Battle Tower burn with the desire to be the one to beat you and break your streak! Their Pokémon are all sharpening their teeth and claws in anticipation! And I’ll be putting together my greatest ever team, too. Naturally! So, do your best to reach me once again!"''

;Master Ball Tier
* Before battle
:''"Looking back at when I first met you in Wedgehurst, the path to this place feels... well, short in one way, but so long in others. Allow me to be the one who faces you in the greatest-ever match here at the Battle Tower!"''
* Upon being defeated
:''"When I’ve got you, and I’ve got Hop, and I’ve got Charizard beside me... I feel there’s no limit to how strong I can become! It’s just like I told you before... There’s truly no limit when it comes to Pokémon! We’re all going to have a champion time!"''
* After being defeated
:''"The greatest battle of the Battle Tower is over... But at least since it was between you and me... No, since it was between your team and mine, we managed to make it one brilliant match!

==In the anime==
[[File:Leon anime.png|250px|thumb|Leon in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===In the main series===
Leon debuted in [[SS012]], where he had a bout against [[Lance]] in the finals of the [[World Championships|Pokémon World Championships]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]], using his {{p|Charizard}} to go up against [[Red Gyarados|Lance's Gyarados]]. After a hard-fought battle, Leon emerged victorious, making him the World Champion.

Leon reappeared in [[SS013]], where he heard a commotion outside the stadium and went to see what was happening. He saw {{Ash}} battling a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Drednaw}} with his {{AP|Pikachu}} and noticed that it had Gigantamaxed without a [[Dynamax Band]]. He gave Ash advice that allowed him to defeat Drednaw before properly introducing himself to them. The next day, Leon approached Ash and {{an|Go}} at the [[Wyndon]] [[Pokémon Center]] and accepted Ash's earlier request for a battle. Beforehand, Leon gave Ash an explanation of how [[Dynamax]]ing and [[G-Max Move]]s worked and gave him his own Dynamax Band. During the battle, both sides Gigantamaxed their Pokémon, with Pikachu even managing to land a couple hits on Charizard, but in the end, Pikachu was defeated. Ash and Leon then promised to each other that once Ash was strong enough, they would battle again.

Leon reappeared in a flashback in [[SS020]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Leon Adventures.png|thumb|170px|Leon in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Leon debuted in the {{chap|Sword & Shield}}. He was first seen on the outskirts of [[Wedgehurst]], trying to move a flock of {{p|Wooloo}} off of some train tracks. He was helped by [[Sōdo Tsurugi|Sōdo]] and [[Shirudomiria Tate|Shirudomiria]], who drove off the {{p|Obstagoon}} that was terrorizing the Wooloo. After introducing himself to the children, Leon headed off to [[Motostoke]] to appear on a television program, only to get lost on the way there.

Later, it was revealed that Leon had decided to [[endorsement|endorse]] the two Trainers for the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] thanks to this experience, just like they had hoped he would. The [[Gym Leader]]s of Galar were surprised by this decision, as Leon had never endorsed two Trainers at the same time before.

==Trivia==
* Leon's uniform number is "1", making him the only NPC with a uniform number not using all three available digits.
* Leon's {{pkmn|Champion}} logo is only displayed when the {{player}} enters the center of [[Wyndon Stadium]] before the actual {{pkmn|battle}} with Leon. When the player enters the area before the match that [[Chairman Rose|Rose]] soon interrupts, the regular Wyndon Stadium logo is displayed instead.
* Leon failed [[Opal]]'s audition, getting only one out of three answers correct. Opal's notes on Leon are: "Your talent in Pokémon battles is beyond anything I’ve ever seen, but you’re rather hard to read..."

'''Hop''' (Japanese: '''ホップ''' ''Hop'') is one of the [[rival]] characters in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the others being [[Bede]] and [[Marnie]].

==In the games==
Hop is the {{player}}'s neighbor and [[rival]]. His goal is to become the {{pkmn|Champion}}, just like his brother [[Leon]]. Hop starts his {{pkmn|journey}} with his [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]], {{p|Wooloo}}, and the [[starter Pokémon]] weak to the player's choice. After meeting a mysterious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Slumbering Weald]] and receiving an [[endorsement]] from Leon, Hop and the player board the train to [[Motostoke]], and their respective journeys begin. While an outwardly earnest boy, Hop's dreams are cast into doubt after a crushing defeat at the hands of [[Bede]] soon after earning his {{badge|Fire}}, compounded by frequent losses to the player and the pressure of following in his brother's footsteps. Believing he is making his brother look weak, Hop begins using different teams to get stronger but still comes up short, losing his first challenge at [[Circhester Stadium]].

After the player wins at Circhester Stadium, Hop and the player learn more about the mysterious Pokémon of Slumbering Weald and their relationship to the hero. Motivated, Hop tells the player he has made up his mind and will no longer doubt himself, challenging them with his new, final team led by his newly-evolved {{p|Dubwool}}. Hop completes his Gym challenge and eventually meets the player as their second opponent in the Champion Cup in [[Wyndon Stadium]]. He is eventually defeated, and while visibly upset, Hop congratulates the player.

After the semifinals, Hop and the player search for Leon, who said he would be at the Rose of the Ronderlands hotel to join the two for dinner, but he did not show up. With the help of [[Piers]], [[Marnie]], and [[Team Yell]], the player and Hop pursue a member of [[Macro Cosmos]] to [[Rose Tower]], where they find Leon having a discussion with [[Chairman Rose]] at the top. Hop later appears to congratulate the player for clearing the final round of the Champion Cup, and after some encouragement by his starter Pokémon, he decides he is going to cheer for them over his brother. However, after Rose interrupts the Championship match, Hop suggests heading towards the Slumbering Weald to stop the return of {{p|Eternatus}} and the [[Darkest Day]].

In the deepest parts of the Weald, the player and Hop are unable to find the mysterious Pokémon they once saw, and instead, they discover a [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield]]. Hop takes the Shield{{sup/8|Sw}}/Sword{{sup/8|Sh}} and make way to the [[Energy Plant]] in [[Hammerlocke]]. After defeating Rose, the player and Hop join Leon, who tries and fails to catch Eternatus. After the player knocks it out, Eternatus turns into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Eternatus|Eternamax}} Eternatus. Hop joins the player in a [[Max Raid Battle]] against it, but they are unable to do anything until they use the Rusted Sword and Shield to summon {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}. Through the combined efforts of Hop and the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} heroes, the player can catch and stop Eternatus.

After becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player meets Hop again in the Slumbering Weald where Zacian and Zamazenta once slept, saying he felt compelled to come there. After congratulating the player and having another battle, the player and Hop attempt to return the Rusted Sword and Shield, but are stopped by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who attempt to steal the artifacts. The player successfully reclaims their artifact in a {{pkmn|battle}} with Sordward{{sup/8|Sw}}/Shielbert{{sup/8|Sh}}, but Hop is defeated by the other brother and loses his artifact. Feeling responsible, Hop quickly pursues the brothers, who are causing Trainers' Pokémon to [[Dynamax]] by force and run amok in [[Gym|Stadiums]]. While helping the Pokémon in Max Raid Battles with the player, Piers, and the other Gym Leaders, Hop expresses newfound doubts, thinking he is only dragging his friends down.

Hop and the player eventually corner the brothers at the Energy Plant, where they drive Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} into a berserk state by exposing it to Dynamax energy. The player defeats it in battle, and the Legendary Pokémon runs off after nearly attacking Hop, who was trying to help it. Hop goes after it, leaving Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}} in the hands of the player, who is challenged by the other Legendary Pokémon. After the player catches Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}}, they go back to the Slumbering Weald, where they see Hop soothing a distraught Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}}. Thankful, the Legendary hero offers to join Hop's team. Hop then declares he has a new dream; to become a [[Pokémon Professor]] to help people as he did during the past incidents, but he also says that he will always see the player as a rival. With that, he and the player have one more battle, with Hop using his new Legendary partner. After the battle, [[Sonia]] offers Hop a position as her [[Professors' aides|assistant]] to help with his studies, which he accepts.

After the post-game story, Hop can be [[rematch]]ed as one of the challengers of the Champion Cup. This time, he uses a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Corviknight}}. While not battling, he can be found in Sonia's laboratory at [[Wedgehurst]].

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Hop's [[League Card]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
;Normal League Card
:"This [[Pokémon Trainer]] got endorsed to take part in the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] by his brother—the reigning {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Leon]]. Hop claims to have watched all Leon's matches. Commentators speculate that as a result, he might be quite the force to be reckoned with. The Champion himself has said that his brother has potential, but his carefully hoarded knowledge can go to waste as he tends to get easily flustered in battle. It's said that Hop's partner {{p|Wooloo}} is a great help to him both in battle and with chores around the house."
;Rare League Card
:"This Trainer ultimately was defeated in the final match of the Champion Cup Semifinals. However, many [[Gym Leader]]s speak highly of his battle style, where he will let his Pokémon battle freely and really enjoy themselves. During the incident with {{p|Eternatus}}, he provided vital assistance in resolving the situation, proving beyond doubt that he is a skilled Trainer in his own right. It is expected that his battles with {{player|the new Champion}} will be the stuff of legend."

* At Player's House
:''"Hello, hello!"
:''"Oh! That your flash new phone, <player>?"
:''"Were you watching Lee's exhibition match on it? But you can't cheer him on with your hands full! You know the only way to properly cheer on would be with his famous Charizard pose! "
:''"Yeah, that's exactly why I came running over to get <player>! Never mind watching the match now! I've got it recording at home anyway. I record all my brother's matches."
:''"Come with me, <player>! He should be here any minute! And Lee always brings presents when he visits, so I wouldn't forget that Bag if I were you! Now I've got to run! See you at mine later!

* Outside of Player's House
:''"Hahaha! Have a look at you, <player>! That old Bag looks like it could pull you over! At least we know that it should hold anything Lee might bring, even if it's as big as a Snorlax!"
:''"A Wooloo... But what's it doing here?"
:''"Hey! You silly Wooloo! I see what you're up to! Don't go using Tackle on the fencing! Now, you listen! going past that fence! No! Everyone knows there are scary Pokémon living in the Slumbering Weald!"
:''"Now that that's taken care of... How about it, <player>? Let's race! Bet I can make it to my house first, what with you lugging about that big old Bag!"

* Hop's House
:''"Mum! Is he here?!"
:''"Yeah, yeah! But where's Lee? Have you got him crammed in a cupboard?"
:''"Then that's where I'm going! You know Lee is hopeless with directions. I'll make sure he doesn't get lost on the way!"
:''"You've got the come with, <player>. You've still never met my big bro, right? You can't miss out on your chance to meet the undefeated Champion! I'll wait for you out on the route!"

* Outside
:''"Let's get a move on! Only remember, <player>... Wild Pokémon could come out of nowhere if you walk through patches of tall grass. I've got my Wooloo with me, so I'm ready for battles against wild Pokémon, of course. But not you, <player>! So we'll steer clear of the tall grass as we go."

;{{rt|1|Galar}}
:''"Let's go and meet Lee at the station! It's dead ahead from here!"
::'''If the player walks into the grass''' : ''"No wandering in that tall grass for you if you got no Pokémon of your own, mate!"

;[[Wedgehurst]]
:''"Lee!"
:''"Bingo! That's the sort of sharp eye that's kept you undefeated so long, eh, Lee?"
:''"Come on, Lee! And you, <player>!"
:''"Bet I can beat the both of you back home!"

;[[Postwick]]
* Leon giving the player and Hop their [[Starter Pokémon]]
:''"Come on, Lee! You promised us a present! So out with it! You brought <player> and me Pokémon. You did, didn't you? I know you must have!"
:''"Go on — you pick first. I've already got my Wooloo, after all."
::'''If the player tries to leave without choosing''' : ''"Where are you going, <player>?! You haven't chosen a Pokémon yet!"
::'''Grookey''' : ''"So it'll be Grookey for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Sobble! You're mine!"
::'''Scorbunny''' : ''"So it'll be Scorbunny for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Grookey! You're mine!"
::'''Sobble''' : ''"So it'll be Sobble for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Scorbunny! You're mine!"
:''"I'm aiming to be the next champion, so be ready! You and I'll be doing some serious training!"

* The next day
:''"Course I have, Lee! <player>'s made fast friends with his/her Grookey/Scorbunny/Sobble, too."
:''"What're you looking at him/her for, Lee? I'm the one who'll be coming to challenge you! If you think <player> might be able to challenge you, then I guess he's/she's my first rival! But I'm not planning to lose to him/her and miss out on my chance to beat the unbeatable Champion!"
:''"Just having a Pokémon with you doesn't make you a real Trainer, you know. Proper Trainers raise their Pokémon up to be first-rate in battle, too!"
::'''If the player said No to battling''' : ''"Me and Sobble/Grookey/Scorbunny are ready to have a go at you anytime!"
::'''If the player tries to leave without battling''' : ''"And where do you think you're off to, then? We're having a battle — you and me!"
::'''If the player said Yes to battling''' : ''"I've watched every match that Lee's ever had! I've read every book and magazine he left behind at home, too! I know exactly what to do in order to win!"

* In battle
:''"A Pokémon battle it is, then! I've got two partners with me!"
::'''After Wooloo faints''' : ''"It's not ever yet! I've added another trusty ally to my team!"
::'''After player lands a Super-Effective hit on Hop's starter''' : ''"Did you already know about type advantages!?"
::'''If the player hits a Critical Hit on either of Hop's Pokemon''': ''"A critical hit? What kind of beginner's luck is that?!"''
::'''If the player defeats Hop''' :''"You beat my two Pokémon with your one?! You and that Grookey/Scorbunny/Sobble are too much!"

* After battle
::'''If Hop defeated the player''' :''"Sorry, mate. Even if you did get your Pokémon direct from a champ like Lee, looks like I’m still the greatest!"
::'''If the Player defeated Hop''' :''"Well, that was a shock! Guess I know now why Lee thought he should give you a Pokémon, too..."
:''"I already want to get stronger and stronger! You've seen me battle now, Lee, so come on—— you've gotta let me take on the [[Pokémon Gyms]]!"
:''"Right, right, we get it... Pokédexes, then! We're on it! Looks likes it's off to the Pokémon Research Lab for you and me, <player>!"
:''"I'm going to be the next Champion, so completing a simple Pokédex will be nothing! Just another page in the tale of my legend! You'd probably better go tell your mum that we're heading out, though."
:''"<player>! Did you hear that just now?"
:''"The gate's open! And the Wooloo that was there..."
:''"It was tackling the fence pretty hard earlier. You don't think it actually broke through there, do you?"
:''"But it's off limits! Nobody's supposed to go in there! I remember the professor's granddaughter went in once, and she came back in a real state... And that was nothing compared to the earful she got from the professor afterward! <player>... What do you say?"
::'''We've got to save it!''' : ''"Right? Even if we're not supposed to, this is the kind of scene where you simply have to do what's needed!"
::'''I don't know...''' : ''"Right... No one wants to get in trouble, least of all me. But deep down you want to save that Pokémon, too, don’t you?"
:''"Hope you're ready for anything, because we're going in, <player>!"
::'''If the player tries to leave''' : ''"The Slumbering Weald is over this way! Let’s go find that Wooloo!"
::'''If talked to again''' : ''"Come on, <player>! We can't just leave that Pokémon on its own!"

;[[Slumbering Weald]]
:''"That Wooloo… Where do you think it got off to?"
:''"The fog is really coming on thick now... If we don't find that Pokémon soon, this might be trouble."
::'''If the player tries to leave''' : ''"Be serious, would you? We’ve got to go look for that Pokémon!"
:''"Doing all right there, Grooky/Scorbunny/Sobble? Let's be sure you're in tip-top shape."
:''"There. Now let's push on!"
:''"Did you hear that? Was that a Pokémon crying out, you think?!"
:''"Come on, <player>! That Wooloo might be in real trouble!"
::'''If the player tries to leave''' :''"Hey! <player>! Not trying to ditch me in here, are you?"
:''"This is mad... I can't even see my own hand in front of my face! I think I get now why this place is off-limits..."
:''"What in the——?!"

* In battle
::'''After attacking''' : ''"Wha—?! The move had no effect on it?!
::'''After attacking again''' : ''"<player>! I can't see anything! You OK?!"
::'''After attacking a third time''' :''"I can’t see anything!"
:''"Uwaaaaaah!"

*After battle
:''"Wha—? Lee? How’d you manage to find your way here? You’re pants with directions. You always get lost."
:''"Wait, where’s the Wooloo?! We were trying to rescue that Wooloo!"
:''"And at least that Wooloo’s all right… Yeah, Name? I thought we’d had it when that weird fog started rolling in and that mad Pokémon attacked… but at least it wasn’t all for nothing!"
:''"It seemed loads stronger than any Pokémon I’ve ever seen. And it just had this sort of presence… Our moves didn’t even touch it. I mean, really— they seemed to pass right through it!"
:''"Even if we did get an earful from Lee…what an experience! This’ll make a pretty fine first page in the tale of my legend!"

;[[Postwick]]
*Outside of Player's House
:''"Don’t forget to tell your mum we’re off to Wedgehurst now. She’ll go spare if you leave without a word—even worse than Lee just did!"
::'''If the player tries to leave''' : ''"You did tell your mum that we’re heading to Wedgehurst, right? She’ll go spare if you disappear without a word."

;{{rt|1|Galar}}
:''"Here we go! This is quite the big step, you know. My first step toward becoming the next Champion!"
:''"Guess I’ll probably train up Sobble/Grooky/Scorbunny a bit by having it battle against Pokémon in the tall grass."
:''"You should get yourself to the building with the purple roof and the great red and white ball mark out on front. That’s the Pokémon research Lab!"

;[[Wedgehurst]]
* After getting the Pokédex
:''"Got your Pokédex from Sonia? Then it’s time to meet lots of different Pokémon and start building up a strong team! But battling strong Pokémon in the wild can leave your team in a bad way. Not to mention what battling another Trainer can do… Luckily, we’ve got Pokémon Centers!"
:''"Luckier yet, they’re dead easy to spot. They look the same wherever you go."
:''"Come on, <player>. Bet you’ve never been inside one!"

* Pokémon Center
:''"Level with me, <player>. Is this your first time in a Pokémon Center?
::'''Yes...''' :''"Then the future Champion’s got you covered! First things first—you talk to the lady at the counter if you want your Pokémon healed up. And Pokémon you catch are kept in computers like the one you can find here, see? After all, you can only bring six Pokémon with you on the road in your party. The Potions they sell at the Poké Mart got me out of a real rough spot the other day!"
::'''Of course not''' :''"Then I don’t think you need me to tell you what you already know."
:''"Cheers! I’m already good, though. I’m heading to Route 2, <player>! Come find me, maybe, when you’re done here!"

* Outside
:''"Listen, <player>. I’ve been thinking... If you’re a Pokémon Trainer now, you must want to try your hand at the Gym Challenge, right?"
::'''The Gym Challenge?/What's that?''' :''"The Gym Challenge, mate! The annual competition where Trainers can battle it out for the right to challenge the Champion! But the trick is that you’ve got to be endorsed if you want to take part. And Lee doesn’t seem to think I’m up to snuff… So I’m thinking I ought to talk to the professor and see if she could help! You’ve got to take part, too! A proper rival is just the thing every Trainer needs to keep growing stronger, after all. Keeps you motivated, right? The professor’s house is way down at the end of Route 2, so let’s head there…and give our teams the chance to train up a bit along the way!"

;{{rt|2|Galar}}
:''"Over here, <player>!"
:''"All right, <player>? It’s time we filled in out teams a bit—"
:''"Lee?! Where’d you come from?"

* After the catching tutorial
:''"Typical Lee!"
:''"The Pokémon on your team will get Exp. Points when you catch Pokémon, too."
:''"All right! I’m gonna catch loads of Pokémon. The professor will be shocked when she sees!"

* Outside Magnolia's House
:''"Look! There’s the professor!"

* Magnolia's House
:''"Hey, Professor, do us a favor, would you? Help me convince Lee he should endorse us for the Gym Challenge!"
:''"Right! I’ll be waiting outside, <player>!"

* Outside
:''"Hurry it up, <player>! You’ve gotta battle me so I can get myself that endorsement!"
::'''if the player tries to leave''' :''"Hurry it up, <player>! You’ve gotta battle me so I can get myself that endorsement!"
:''"I’m going to become the greatest Pokémon Trainer there is! And to do that, I need that endorsement to take part in the Gym Challenge! Come at me with everything you have so we can prove to Lee that we’ve got what it takes!"
::'''Of course''' :''"It’s time for my legend to begin!"
::'''I need to prepare''' :''"Oh, fine... Guess I can wait a bit."

* In battle
:''"Have you gotten a bit stronger? Me and my team will put you to the test and see!"
::'''After player lands a Super-Effective hit''' :''"Well, look at you! Seems you’ve really learned your type matchups!"
::'''After player lands a Critical Hit''' :''"You landed a critical hit on my Pokémon?! You’ve got plenty of spirit—that’s for sure!"
::'''When Hop sends out his last Pokémon''' :''"It’ll be a close one! But that’s exactly my sort of match!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's same-type move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Branch Poke]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Water Gun]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Ember]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''If the player defeats Hop''' :''"Oof! Gutted that I lost… But I’d expect nothing less from my rival!"

* After battle
::'''If Hop defeated the player for a second time''' :''"Undefeated! And my Pokémon’s moves were seriously on point!"
::'''If the player defeated Hop''' :''"And I even got my Poké Ball throw perfect, too!"
:''"The sting of defeat and joy of victory... I guess going through both is the key to the two of us getting stronger, right?"
:''"Yes! Thanks, Lee! I swear I’m going to win my way through the Gym Challenge to reach you!"
:''"All right, <player>! You and me are going to train up against one another to aim for that Champion’s title!"
::'''Absolutely!''' :''"The more we keep battling against one another, the more our Pokémon will grow."
::'''Against one another?''' :''"That’s the way of it when you’ve got a great rival! Just like you’ve got me, and I’ve got you!"
:''"Huh? What’s that?!"
:''"<player>! Would you look at this? They’re Wishing Stars! Since there are two of them, you should take one yourself!"
:''"With one of those, my Pokémon can Dynamax! They’re gonna be massive! YES!"
:''"I will be the greatest Trainer ever! I WILL be the greatest Trainer ever! I WILL BE THE GREATEST TRAINER EVER!!! There! I’ve said it three times, so surely my wish will come true now, right?"
:''"Ah, right. You’ve done heaps of research on the Dynamax phenomenon, haven’t you, Professor? Then please! Give <player> and me the power to Dynamax our Pokémon!"
:''"First we got to battle against that mad Pokémon in the Slumbering Weald, and now this... It really feels like we’re getting caught up in the adventure of a lifetime!"

* The next morning, inside Magnolia's House
:''"It’s morning at last! And time for our adventure to truly start!"
:''"Er, well, there was weird heavy fog, and then this even weirder Pokémon appeared... <player> tried to fight it off! But then I think we both passed out or something. It’s all pretty hazy."
:''"Thanks, Professor! This is brilliant! It’s just like the one Lee has on him, too. Now we can Dynamax our Pokémon like he does!"
:''"The legend of my reign is finally about to begin!"
:''"Come on, <player>! I’ll beat you to the station!"

* Outside
:''"One last thing before we race, <player>. See, I’ve got some great advice for you!"
:''"You know how you sometimes see Pokémon wandering about out of the tall grass, yeah?"
:''"If you move real slow like, and crouch down, those Pokémon won’t pay you any notice."
:''"But on the other hand... If you whistle at them, you’ll be SURE to catch their attention!"
:''"If you’re a bit rubbish as whistling, just remember this: "Need a fail-proof trick? Press the Left Stick!""
:''"Try it out, and let’s see who can catch the most Pokémon, <player>!"
:''"You remember Wedgehurst Station, right? Where we went to pick up Lee before. That’ll be the goal, so see you there!"

;[[Wedgehurst]]
:''"Come on, <player>! You’ll never beat me to the station at that pace!"
:''"So, out with it, <player>! How many did you catch? I caught a really special one!"
::'''If the player did not catch any Pokémon''' :''"And you got... Not one?! What were you doing this whole time? You’re going to want a team if you’re a Trainer!"
::'''If the player caught one Pokémon''' :''"And you’ve got yourself... Ooh, just one! Looks like we’re at a draw. Though we are rivals and all, so that’s fair!"
::'''If the player caught multiple Pokémon''' :''"But look at how many you caught! You’re well on your way to building a fine team."
:''"That’s a technical machine! A TM, mate! With a TM like that, you can teach your Pokémon a new move in a flash. And you can use them again and again, too. That one can teach the move Swift. Lee gave it to me ages ago, and now it’s yours."
:''"The Gym Challenge will begin in Motostoke! And our train’s waiting, so let’s go!"

* Train Station
:''"What’re you doing here, Mum?"
:''"Thanks, Mum. And just think how lucky you are—mother to the first ever pair of Champion brothers! Because I’m certain to be the Champion next. You’ll see!"
:''"Wish us luck! Not that we’ll need it."
:''"There are loads of brilliant Trainers and all kinds of Pokémon out there waiting for us! My excitement’s running ahead of me even faster than that train can go, Name! Come on! We’re off!"

* On the Train
:''"Motostoke is surrounded by a vast Wild Area! It’s a real sight. There’re all sorts of wild Pokémon just wandering about—everywhere you look! Plus, you can camp out, do a spot of fishing... I don’t think I could ever get tired of it!"

;[[Meetup Spot]]
* Inside Station
:''"Hey, Mr. Station Master! Isn’t this the Wild Area? What’re we stopped here for?"
:''"What’s there to be sorry about? This is brilliant!"
::'''Brilliant?/What is?''' :''"This Wild Area is massive! There are loads of Pokémon to battle here! You get it, don’t you, <player>? This is the best possible place to put together the greatest team!"

* Outside
:''"Look at that!"
:''"That’s Motostoke, way off that way!"
:''"And between there and here are countless new Pokémon waiting to be met!"
:''"Oh, hello. And if it isn’t Sonia."
:''"Yikes... Being an adult has got its own challengers, eh?"
:''"Well, I’m off to go stick my head in as many of those red glowing dens as I can find. I’m going to battle the snot out of a bunch of Dynamax Pokémon and fill in another page in the tale of my legend!"

;[[Motostoke]]
* Outside
:''"You made it, too?"
:''"Motostoke Stadium... This is where the opening ceremony will be held."
:''"Everyone’ll be watching the opening ceremony for the Gym Challenge... My mum... Your mum... The whole world!"
:''"It’s getting me a bit nervous, really... Naw, this isn’t nerves... I’m only trembling because I’m so excited!"
:''"Come on, <player>! It’s time the world learned our names!"

* [[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"Would you take a look at this... The place is packed with Gym Challengers! Every one of these folks is another rival!"
:''"Let’s get signed up!"
:''"Seriously? What a piece of work..."
:''"Well, now you’ve had two, because I am as well!"
:''"I’m Hop! I’m Leon’s little brother, in fact. And the next Champion. Get me all signed up, would you?"
:''"That’s the League Chairman for you! Even booked us all hotel rooms! I’m off to check out the fancy digs!"

* Budew Drop Inn
:''"Oh hey, Sonia! What’re you doing at our hotel?"
:''"What’s this, then?"
:''"Huh... I suppose that hero must’ve been about as strong as Lee, then! Looks like you’re going to have your hands full with plenty to research, though, Sonia. Black storms and swords and shields and all..."
:''"Probably so! And we’ll look out for you, too, Sonia. If we hear anything about any hero or whatnot, we’ll tell you!"
:''"I wasn’t expecting checking in would be such a big fuss, <player>! What’s going on? Sneaking in some Pokémon battles without me?"
:''"Don’t think you can get ahead of me that easily... I need to get some training in, so I’m joining! Here, I’ll even heal up your Pokémon, too."
:''"I’m Hop, one of this year’s Gym Challengers! And the one who’s gonna be the next Champion! Now let’s have us a nice two-on-two!"
:''"So you’re a Gym Challenger, too? Team Yell, was it? Pretty impressive that you already have a set of fans to call your own!"
::'''If talked to at any point''' :''"I guess we probably should head to the front desk to get checked in."
* The next morning
:''"Morning!"
:''"So this is it... Now my legend really begins!"
:''"Watch out, <player>! I’ll beat you to Motostoke Stadium!"

* [[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"I can’t wait for the first match! Pretty soon I’ll have so man fans, I’ll have to fight 'em off like Lee does!"
:''"Standing there on the pitch...in the stadium...in front of everyone! There’s really no words for it, but... I can barely contain myself! My heart’s racing!"
:''"Let’s do it, <player>! You know the Gym Challenge has a set order that you’ve gotta visit the Gyms in, right? The first is in Turffield! And to get there, we need to head to Route 3!"

* Outside
:''"There you are! I’ve been waiting! Let’s have a battle, you and me. We’ll get in a bit of training!"
::'''All right!''' :''"I knew you’d be up for it! We’ve got to stay keener than anyone else if we want to steal the spotlight from our rivals!"
::'''But why?''' :''"Seriously? This is the moment when you play along and act pumped up for battle! If you’ve gotta ask why we should bother training, you’ll never make it through the Gym Challenge!"

* In Battle
:''"Keep up, mate! This is our chance to see if we are up to the Gym Challenge!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"Typical! Should’ve known you’d mastered type matchups!"
::'''When the player lands a critical hit''' :''"Landing a critical hit like that... You’re pretty tough when you get serious!"
::'''When Hop lets out his last Pokémon''' :''"Backed into a corner? You got it all wrong, mate! This’ll just make my victory all the better!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's same-type move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Branch Poke]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Water Gun]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Ember]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''After defeating Hop''' :''"Was that really good training? Looks like I’d better keep my guard up!"

* After Battle
:''"Just what I’d expect from my rival! You know what? I’ll even give you one of my League Cards! That’s how good I think you did in that battle."
:''"Our Gym Challenge starts right now—from here in Motostoke! Although the first Gym Leader we’ll have to challenge is in a town way far off from here... Still, you’d better believe I’m going to keep on winning my way to that Championship Match!"
:''"Hello, Galar! Meet your next Champion! From the sleepy town of Postwick—it’s me, Hop!"

;[[Turffield]]
:''"Look! Just take a look at that, <player>! That’s Turffield Stadium down there!"
:''"The Gym Leader just returned, too. Milo’s his name. But the place is jam-packed with challengers. It’ll be ages before our turn comes up..."
:''"Oh... But Sonia was looking for you, <player>. She wanted to ask you something. She tried asking me, but I had no idea. She’s up on that what’s-her-face hill. You know the one."
:''"What? You don’t know the hill? Well, have a look at your map if you’re not sure!"
:''"Oh! If it isn’t Sonia’s Yamper! He’s a good boy. He’ll show you the way!"
::'''If talked to again''' :''"What? You don’t know the hill? Well, have a look at your map if you’re not sure!"
:''"Take a look at this, <player>!"
:''"The Grass Gym Badge! I got it in one try!"
:''"I reckon I’m just about the greatest when it comes to wrangling Wooloo... I’ve had plenty of practice at it, after all!"
:''"But I’m sure you can win this one, too. After all, you are my rival!"

;{{rt|5|Galar}}
:''"There you are, <player>!"
:''"I’m warning you, though... Any closer than that and we’re going to have to have a battle—you and me!"
:''"I warned you! We’re both Gym Challengers who’ve earned ourselves a Grass Badge. This is the perfect training!"

* In Battle
:''"Let’s have a taste of what a Gym Badge holder’s team can do!"
::'''When the player uses a super-effective move''' :''"Typical! Should’ve known you’d mastered type matchups!"
::'''When the player lands a critical hit''' :''"Landing a critical hit like that... You’re pretty tough when you get serious!"
::'''When Hop uses a super-effective move''' :''"I’ve learned loads from studying Lee’s battles!"
::'''When Hop sends out his last Pokémon''' :''"Every one of my Pokémon is an ace! This is no problem at all!"
::'''When Hop uses his starter's same-type move''' :''"Have a taste of our true power!"
:::'''[[Razor Leaf]]''' :''"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"
:::'''[[Water Pulse]]''' :''"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"
:::'''[[Flame Charge]]''' :''"Our flames are burning bright!"
::'''After defeating Hop''' :''"We both got ourselves the same Grass Badge, so how come you’re so much stronger?!"

* After Battle
:''"You’ve gotten strong, <player>. Seems I’ve got to train even harder from now on."
:''"Next up is Nessa, the leader of the Water Gym!"

[[File:Hop Twilight Wings.png|thumb|250px|Hop in [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]]]

===In Pokémon: Twilight Wings===
Hop made a cameo appearance in ''[[TW01|Letter]]'', where he tied a friendship bracelet to the right foreleg of his {{p|Wooloo}}. He briefly reappeared in ''[[TW02|Training]]'', where he and his Wooloo were watching television.

Hop then appeared more prominently in ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', where he was revealed to be watching television with Wooloo so he could study [[Leon]]'s technique and figure out how to become stronger. However, his admiration of Leon's {{p|Charizard}} caused Wooloo to run away. This prompted Hop to desperately search around town for it. By the end of the episode, Hop was reunited with Wooloo, whereupon he promised it that they will both challenge the Pokémon League together, and assured that it was perfect the way it was.

Wooloo then appeared prominently in ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', where it became jealous of Hop's admiration of [[Leon]]'s {{p|Charizard}} and ran away from home. It eventually jumped off a cliff to try and fly like Charizard, only to fail. Wooloo was subsequently found by [[Milo]], who sent Wooloo home on the [[Flying Taxi]].

==In the TCG==
[[File:HopSPromo5.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Hop]]
{{main|Hop (Sword & Shield 165)}}
'''Hop''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|V Starter Sets}} before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion, with artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It allows the player to draw three cards, the same effect as cards of previous rivals.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Hop's uniform number is "189", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 飛躍 ''hiyaku'', meaning "leaping".
* Hop is the only rival in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}} not to become a [[Gym Leader]] by the end of the games.

'''Opal''' (Japanese: '''ポプラ''' ''Poplar'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Ballonlea]]'s Gym, known officially as [[Ballonlea Stadium]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{badge|GalarFairy|Fairy Badge}} to Trainers who defeat her. During the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], she chooses [[Bede]] as her successor and passes her Gym Leader title on to him.

==In the games==

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Opal's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
;Normal League Card
:"Opal is the oldest [[Gym Leader]] in the [[Galar]] region. She took over for her mother 70 years ago and has kept the position since. However, she feels that her own values have reached their limits, and thus she is currently looking for a worthy successor. She claims that she gives deliberately tricky quizzes because people reveal their true colors when in a pinch, but many speculate that in reality, she does it out of pure spite."
;Rare League Card
:"Opal has thrust the duties of Gym Leader onto [[Bede]], who had his [[Galar League|Gym Challenger]] status revoked. That being said, she still shows up at the Gym Stadium every day, giving unsolicited advice, coming up with new quiz questions, and practicing various performances. What is this "pink" she insisted others show her? Maybe a clue lies in a comment she made during an old interview. "Keep thinking about the right answer, and eventually you'll create the right answer.""

===Pokémon===
Opal keeps her Pokémon in [[Ultra Ball]]s.

===={{g|Sword and Shield}}====
Opal will [[Gigantamax]] her Alcremie at the first opportunity.

==In the manga==
[[File: Opal Adventures.png|thumb|120px|Opal in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Opal debuted in the {{chap|Sword & Shield}}. She, along with various other Gym Leaders, was first seen reacting to the news that [[Leon]] had endorsed two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s for the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]].

==Trivia==
* Opal's uniform number is "910", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for キュート ''kyūto'', meaning "cute".
* Opal is the only [[Gym Leader]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] who cannot be [[rematch]]ed.
* The in-game model of Opal has the logo of {{DL|Poké Job|List of companies|HIJIKI OKA}} printed on its uniform, similar to those of [[Ballonlea Stadium]] {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s and Gym Leader [[Bede]]. However, it is almost never visible during actual gameplay.
* Opal has failed both [[Leon]] and [[Sonia]] for the audition of Gym Leader. Leon only got one answer correct, while Sonia answered all three questions correctly. Opal noted that while both were talented Trainers, Leon was hard to read and Sonia gave up a little too quickly.

'''Sonia''' (Japanese: '''ソニア''' ''Sonia'') is a character introduced in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

==In the games==
Sonia is the granddaughter and assistant of [[Professor Magnolia]]. She is also [[Leon]]'s childhood friend. Sonia and her partner Pokémon, {{p|Yamper}}, participated in the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] with Leon, but eventually dropped out. Sonia spends the duration of the game discovering what she wants to do with her life, eventually choosing to pursue the truth behind the legends of the first king of [[Galar]] and the [[Darkest Day]]. Together with the {{player}} and [[Hop]], she discovers the existence of {{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, and {{p|Eternatus}}; and publishes her findings in [[Sonia's Book|a book]], a feat that helps her be recognized as a {{pkmn|Professor}} just like her grandmother.

====Quotes====
{{incomplete|section}}
;[[Wedgehurst]]
* Pokémon Lab
:''"What is it today, Leon? Looking for info on another never-before-seen, superstrong Pokémon? I wish you’d stop with these outlandish requests."
:''"Tsk. What kind of an introduction is that? Did you forget we were rivals during our Gym Challenge? It wasn’t just Yamper helping you out. I did, too."
:''"Anyway, nice to meet you! Name’s Sonia. I’m the professor’s assistant."
:''"*sigh* What does he think I am? He’s always got his head in the clouds. It’s no wonder he gets lost all the time."
:''"Oh. Looks like you’ve got a [[Rotom Phone]]. Hey there, Rotom!"
:''"Rotom Phones are handy little things, aren’t they? They’ve got a map and a navigation tool. That said, Leon still gets lost, so…"
:''"Oh, sorry. So tell me, do you know a lot about Pokémon?"
::'''You bet!''' :''"Well said! In that case, I’ll make it so that you can use the Pokédex on your Rotom Phone!"
::'''Not really...''' : ''"Don’t worry! Here, I’ll make it so that you can use the Pokédex on your Rotom Phone!"
:''"Just so you know, that Pokédex is a gift from my gran! Could you let Gran know that you received the Pokédex? She lives in the house down along Route 2."
::'''If talked to again''' : ''"Leon’s a right amazing Champion, and I’m basically just an assistant... I’m not even Gran’s official assistant, either. I’ve just been calling myself one... Somehow, it makes me feel a little restless."

;{{rt|2|Galar}}
* Outside Magnolia's House
:''"Seems I came back home right in time for all the excitement!"
:''"Hey, you lot, why not have some dinner. You must be hungry, right? I’ve been totally obsessed with making the latest trendy curries."

* Magnolia's House
:''"Hop, is it true you really met some Pokémon you didn’t recognize? Is there anything more you can tell me about it?"
:''"A right fount of information you are."
::'''If talked to again''' :''"A strange Pokémon in the Slumbering Weald... I don’t know... I’ve got an uneasy feeling for some reason..."

;[[Meetup Spot]]
:''"My gran gave me a proper earful, in her own way… “Those two young Trainers are setting out on a journey, but what are you doing with your life?”"
::'''That sounds rough/Ouch, Professor''' :''"Ah…Never you mind that! Nothing to worry yourselves over! Besides, I’d been quite curious about that Pokémon you two met in the forest. I’d been thinking I should look into it, so the timing works out fine!"
:''"If I discover something really huge, then maybe even Gran’ll admit I’ve got some talent!"
:''"I said you needn’t worry about it! I’m glad to be on the road. Really! It’s been ages. It’ll be great to fish and camp and rough it outside again."
:''"What cheek! Dynamax Pokémon are really on another level, you know! You’d better Dynamax your partner Pokémon, too, if you want to take on opponents that strong!"
:''"You’ll find spots here and there in the Wild Area that emit a red beam of light. If you think you’re up to it, check them out. There’ll be Dynamax Pokémon lurking inside! So with that, how about I send you off with a little treat from me?"
:''"With a Pokémon Box Link, you’ll be able to put Pokémon from your team into your Boxes or take Pokémon from your Boxes to add them to your team. Nice, right? So go wild catching as many Pokémon as you like, and fill in some more of your Pokédex!"
:''"The Wild Area is waiting for you! This is the start of your real adventure!"

;[[Motostoke]]
* Outside Pokémon Center
:''"Hey! Over Here!"
:''"Real Ace of you to make it through the Wild Area! Seems like your trek ran your Pokémon ragged, though. You should pop into the Pokémon Center."
:''"Besides, there’s something I bet you’ll get a kick out of...if you’re a real Trainer and all."

* Pokémon Center
:''"Oh, looks like the Rotomi’s free."
:''"Rotomi are a kind of rotom Information service. It’s a handy machine for Trainers. You can even use one to customize your League Card!"
:''"Why don’t you try playing around with your League Card a bit, <player>? Here’s a sample for you!"
:''"But Motostoke sure is big, right? Not to worry! Sonia is here to show you around a bit! Come find me after you heal up your Pokémon!"
:''"The opening ceremony, huh... I get a bit worked up when I think how exciting and moving it was to actually stand on a stadium’s pitch for the first time!"

* Outside
:''"So, brilliant young Trainer who’s braved the Wild Area! Do you remember what your goal in Motostoke is?"
::'''I’m here for the Gym Challenge!''' :''"Yup! The Gym Challenge opening ceremony."
::'''Uhhh...''' :''"What? You seriously forgot about the Gym Challenge opening ceremony?"
:''"By the way, the ceremony tomorrow is being held at the Motostoke Stadium, OK?"
:''"Use that lift over there to get to the stadium, ‘K?"
:''"Well, laters! I’m going to swing by the shops while I’m here, but don’t forget to register at the stadium, ‘K?"

* Boutique
:''"My gran told me I needed to go on a journey, but a girl needs a bit of joy in her life, too! Are you to here to do some shopping as well? Don’t forget to register at the stadium!"

* Budew Drop Inn
:''"Hiya! Looks like you both got yourselves registered."
:''"It’s a statue of the hero who once saved the Galar region. I could run through the legend right quick, if you fancy?"
::'''The short version, if you please!''' :''"Long ago...a great black storm covered the Galar region. People called it “the Darkest Day.” The land was assaulted by gigantic Pokémon...but they were defeated by a single young hero bearing a sword and shield. The statue here is meant to depict the young hero of that legend."
::'''Give me all the details!''' :''"Long ago...a great black storm covered the Galar region. People called it “the Darkest Day.” The land was assaulted by gigantic Pokémon...but they were defeated by a single young hero bearing a sword and shield. The statue here is meant to depict the young hero of that legend. We still don’t understand what kind of sword and shield the hero actually had. And what this “black storm” is supposed to be is just another mystery... Whatever it was, it blotted out the skies all across Galar. I suppose that tracks with it being called the Darkest Day, but still..."
:'''You’ll be all right, Sonia!''' :''"Heh, thanks! I’ll muddle through somehow—don’t you worry!"
:'''Will you be all right, Sonia?''' :''"Course I will. I’ll muddle through somehow—don’t you worry!"
:''"You two are staying here at the hotel tonight, though, aren’t you? Shouldn’t you check in?"
::'''If talked to again''' :''"Thanks for always taggin’ along with Hop. I hope you can keep it up. Leon really worries about him, too. He practically raised him, after all."

;{{rt|3|Galar}}
:''"Heya, Gym Challenger! You looked real ace out there during the opening ceremony!"
:''"Oh, but where’s Hop?"
::'''He went on ahead''' :''"He can’t sit still at all, can he? Guess he really wants to catch up to his brother."
::'''He went a different way''' :''"Well, you’re rivals, after all. I guess it makes sense you’d train on your own."
:''"Oh, I know! Let me tell you about something a bit interesting."
:''"You see that building over there? It’s a company owned by Chairman Rose."
:''"Just past Route 3, there’s a mine where they dig up ore. That building over there processes it into energy."
:''"In other words, the chairman is responsible for providing the Galar region with its energy, too."
:''"Can’t say I really get him, but the chairman seems like a pretty brilliant guy, right?"
:''"Here, a little something for having a chin-wag with me! It’s an Escape Rope."
:''"I’ll heal up your Pokémon, too!"
:''"The way to Turffield is pretty long, but that’s a kind of challenge in its own right. Good luck, Gym Challenger!"

;[[Turffield]]
:''"Thanks, Yamper!"
:''"I had you come ’cause I wanted to hear what you thought."
:''"So, that geoglyph... What do you think of it?"
::'''The Darkest Day?''' :''"Right perceptive of you. Especially since the portion depicting the black storm has mostly disappeared."
::'''Dynamax?''' :''"Seems likely... It certainly looks like a gigantic Pokémon. I suppose people three thousand years ago could’ve just imagined this, but it looks too similar to Dynamax. It can’t just be coincidence."
:''"A long time ago...a great black storm covered the Galar region. Giant Pokémon ran rampant... But what was that black storm they called “the Darkest Day”? What connection does it have to Dynamax?"
:''"Guess I’m the lucky lady who’ll be looking into that... Gran sure gives me a lot to do."
:''"Thanks for your thoughts on the matter! As thanks, I’ll give you a League Card."
:''"Milo’s a Grass-type Gym Leader. Things will go well for you if you use Fire-, Flying-, or Bug-type moves. Take these, too! It’d be pretty bad if your Pokémon weren’t in fighting form!"
:''"Go on, then! Get yourself to Turffield Stadium and battle yourself silly!"

;[[Hulbury]]
* Captain's Table
:''"Oh, were you invited, too?"
:''"*sigh* She was saying that here’s still so much we don’t know about Dynamaxing. It’s causing her some worry. She even made me take a Power Spot Detector with me when I started traveling..."
:''"*sigh* Does he think he’s doing me a favor? He’s right that the vault would be a good place to look for info on the legends, but..."
:''"You got the Water Badge, yeah? Defeating Nessa’s no small feat. Here’s a TM as a reward!"
:''"Nessa’s a good friend. Perhaps I should drop in on her. Until net time, Gym Challenger!"

;[[Hammerlocke]]
* Vault
:''"Oh, you’re here."
:''"Brilliant, aren’t they? It’s great that there are still treasured tapestries that can tell us of Galar’s history."
:''"The two youths watching a Wishing Star."
:''"A disaster occurs... The two bewildered youths."
:''"The youths looking on at the sword and shield that stop the disaster."
:''"The youths being crowned."
:''"These tapestries tell the story of the creation of a kingdom in Galar."
:''"Say, young Gym Challenger, what sticks out to you the most about them?"
::'''There’s two heroes?''' :''"Band on! The statue at the hotel in Motostoke only had one hero, no matter how you slice it. But here, we clearly have two youths."
::'''The Darkest Day?''' :''"Right? That’s got to be it. The story of the black storm that blotted out the skies was passed on through the years as a tale of disaster… That’s what the Darkest Day is!"
:''"Was there really only one hero, or were there two? And what even caused the Darkest Day?"
:''"Thanks for letting me bounce some ideas off you. I think I’ve got some theories now. I’m going to research the tapestries a tad more, but you have your Gym Challenge, right? I’m cheering for you, so take a couple of these. I hope to see more of your wins!"
::'''If talked to again''' :''"Whatever happened to the sword and shield that drove off the disaster?"

;[[Stow-on-Side]]
* After defeating the Gym
:''"Looks like my Yamper really likes you, huh? Anyway, we’ve run into each other at a good time. You know the mural here in Stow-on-Side? It’s said to tell the story of the hero of Galar as well. Though what’s there today is actually a replica of the ancient art that used to be here..."
:''"You tend to have surprisingly sharp insight, so I was wondering what you might think when you see the ruins."
:''"Wha...? What in the world was that? Sounds like it came from the direction of the ruins, too..."
:''"Let’s have a look! Come along, Yamper!"
:''"What’s going on up there?!"
:''"You know, during one of Bede’s matches, I heard the announcer say that Bede has no family. Apparently it was Rose who took Bede under his wing, and so Bede was battling for the chairman’s sake."
:''"What an awful turn of events… I hope the mural survived all that."
:''"Not a brilliant turn of events, but the ruins were brought into the light for us to see..."
:''"What does this tell us about Galar’s legends?"
::'''Pokémon?/A sword and shield?''' :''"Right! More than any hero, there’s those things that appear to be Pokémon that stand out! Not just that, but those Pokémon appear to be holding a sword and a shield as if they were using them!"
:''"Anything else look interesting to you?"
::'''The hero...was actually two people?/The same as the tapestries?''' :''"Oh, good observation! There really were two heroes. But if that’s the case, then why only the one statue at the Budew Drop Inn?"
:''"More than any statue of a hero or old tapestry, these ruins made in truly ancient times must show us the real truth."
:''"Which means..."
::'''The sword is a Pokémon!/The shield is a Pokémon!''' :''"Yup! I was thinking the same thing! Seems like at some point in history the sword and shield were combined with the two actual Pokémon and treated as the same thing... But then what? They just faded from history?"
:''"Two young heroes... The sword and shield were actually Pokémon... But why would the truth of these ruins be hidden when their stories were depicted in artwork?"
:''"With your help, I really feel like we made a big discovery here. Thanks! I’ll give you a couple of these, so you keep giving it your best in the Gym Challenge, too, OK? Guess you’ll be headed to Ballonlea next, right?"
:'''If talked to again''' :''"So... There was history being covered up by all that over-stylized artwork... I’m gonna have to look into this some more."

;[[Hammerlocke]]
* After defeating Opal
:''"Heya! The Badge collecting going well?"
:''"I’ve been doing some research on the ruins in Stow-on-Side... The sword and shield... What kind of Pokémon were they? And where are they now? I still have so many questions, I was thinking about taking another look at the tapestries in—"
:''"Are you kidding me?!"
:''"What was that?!"
:''"Hammerlocke Stadium shook..."
:''"That’s where Chairman Rose’s power plant is, isn’t it?"
:''"Huh? A Power Spot?!"
::'''What’s wrong?''' :''"I’m getting readings from the Power Spot Detector… Does that mean Dynamaxing is possible here?"
::'''You mean, like where you can Dynamax?''' :''"That’s right! The Power Spot Detector reacts when it’s possible to Dynamax!"
:''"This is bad! Pokémon might start Dynamaxing right in the middle of Hammerlocke!"
:''"You’ll just get lost, Leon. I’m going, too!"
:''"I’m really looking forward to seeing you compete in the Finals. So you should leave the investigation on the quaking to the adults. Head to Circhester and get that Gym Badge!"

;[[Circhester]]
* After defeating the Gym
:''"That battle was brilliant! That Gym Leader was tough, but you had no trouble."
:''"Circhester has some really great restaurants."
:''"I got some things I want to talk to you about, so let’s head to a restaurant to celebrate your win! The name of the restaurant is Bob’s Your Uncle!"

* Bob’s Your Uncle
:''"Oh, hey! There you are."
:''"I’ve been trying to find out more about the Darkest Day and the sword and shield Pokémon, but still no luck..."
:''"Wait! Hold on!"
:''"No way! What’s this?!"
::'''A new chapter in the old Galar legends?/A fifth tapestry!''' :''"The heroes look sad... And where are the sword and shield?"
::'''An absolutely fantastic poster!''' :''"Exactly! Bob, with his brilliant smile, must be part of the legend! Wait, what are you on about?! Don’t confuse me! The heroes look sad... And where are the sword and shield?
:''"What was the meaning of this picture?"
::'''An end to the legend?''' :''"Hmm... Perhaps when their duty was completed, they went into some kind of sleep?"
::'''Some kind of seal?''' :''"You think so? I guess it could be that they were sealed away. Or maybe they’ve gone into some kind of sleep?"
:''"That’s right! That’s my take on it, at least."
:''"You...met them?"
:''"Oh, that’s right! You lot have been in the Slumbering Weald."
:''"I only started on this journey because my gran told me to, but this is turning out to be too much fun! You’ve got to tell me more. How about we discuss this over a meal? Go on, what do you want to eat? Let’s get our orders in!"
:''"Fascinating... All right, the next thing to do now that we’re done eating is to have a look around Circhester! Let’s inspect the Hero’s Bath!"

* Hero's Bath
:''"The Hero’s Bath... They say this is where the two heroes came to sooth their wounds after the battle to bring down that evil presence, long ago."
:''"Nowadays only Pokémon really use the Hero’s Bath, though... Hmm... Who exactly were the heroes that bathed here? I think I’ll have to look into that."
:''"You two met a mysterious Pokémon back in the Slumbering Weald... Perhaps...you two can become new heroes."
:''"What kind of battle do you think the heroes had back then?"
::'''After agreeing to battle Hop''' :''"I don’t entirely understand your reasoning, but I might just as well see what you can do. I’ll heal up your Pokémon for you, <player>, so give it your best!"

* After Battle
:''"Thanks! You two gave a right proper battle... At the rate you both are going, even the unbeatable Leon may be in trouble! So what’s next, you two? I plan to look into things in the Slumbering Weald."
:''"Seems like he finally shook off that gloom. Leon’d worry if Hop wasn’t feeling all right. As his rival, you wouldn’t like it either, right? See ya."

;[[Hammerlocke]]
* After defeating Piers
:''"Well, if it isn’t <player>."
:''"I’d expect nothing less from you and your Charizard, Leon! You took down that Dynamax Pokémon in no time at all!"
:''"An overflowing red light... Pokémon Dynamaxing without a Power Spot?"
:''"I’m not sure... What’s going on? That red light could suddenly appear again at any time and we’d have no way of knowing."
:''"Gran?!"
:''"Are you saying that red light and the Darkest Day are connected?!"
:''"Gran, there’s something I want to look into. You’ll help me, right?"

* After defeating Raihan
:''"Hey there, <player>! You gave Raihan a good thrashing, and that means you’ve completed the Gym Challenge! Congratulations, from the bottom of my heart!"
:''"I really wish we could go celebrate, but I think there’s some things we should talk over."
:''"That light that covered Hammerlocke... It was just like the Darkest Day, where it’s said that giant Pokémon went on a rampage and almost destroyed the entire Galar region."
:''"The legendary sword and shield..."
:''"Are you sure, Gran? I still haven’t finished the work you’ve assigned me."
:'''Professor Sonia!/It looks great!''' :''"Y-yeah!"
:''"I know, Gran!"
:''"I’ll do what I can! You or Hop could be the one to take down Leon, and I don’t want to miss that! Not to worry—you can count on me to take care of everything! You just focus on getting to Wyndon. Go on! Head to the station, or you’ll miss your train!"
::'''If talked to again''' :''"The station’s near Route 7, remember? Now, off with you Gym Challenger!"

;[[Postwick]]
* After Rose interrupts the Championship Match
:''"Huh? <player> and Hop? Ah! I completely forgot about the Championship Match! What’re you two doing here?"
:''"Huh? What?! What happened while I was researching things in the Slumbering Weald?"
:''"Hold on a tick, ma’am. Did you say “the Darkest Day”?
:''"“The Darkest Day” is the name for the black storm that nearly brought the Galar region to ruin in ancient times..."
:''"So what’re you here for, <player>?
::'''I’m here to stop the Darkest Day!''' :''"To stop the Darkest Day... You mean you’re going to search for the sword and shield Pokémon?"
::'''To search for the sword/shield Pokémon''' :''"I suppose if the legends are true, then the sword and shield Pokémon should be able to prevent the Darkest Day from coming to pass... They may be just what we need to beat back the black storm!"
:''"OK! Here, take this. You should head to the Slumbering Weald. I’ll catch up with you once I’m done looking into something that’s been bothering me."
::'''If talked to again''' :''"I’ve got to keep looking into the origin of the sword and shield Pokémon!"

;[[Slumbering Weald]]
* After encountering the Legendary Pokémon
:''"You two... What in the world are you doing?"
:''"Hop, you sure you haven’t lost the plot? There was no one here but the two of you..."
:''"Listen! I dug into some literature from other regions, and I finally found something! Mentions of the sword Pokémon, Zacian, and the shield Pokémon, called Zamazenta. The writings said that those two Pokémon were born somewhere beyond the Slumbering Weald sometime long, long ago."
::'''If talked to again''' :''"Zacian and Zamazenta... They may have been sleeping in the Slumbering Weald right next to your hometown all this time. Perhaps that’s why no one has entered the deepest parts of these woods for so long..."

* After defeating Leon
:''"And if it isn’t the two of you again. I was wondering what all the noise was about."
:''"<player>! Congratulations on beating Leon!"
::'''Thank you''' :''"Taking it all in stride like it’s your due, eh? You cheeky thing!"
::'''It was nothing...''' :''"Oh, trying to act modest, are you? Go on—you’ve earned the right to be proud!"
:''"Hop, I’m actually not working as my gran’s assistant any longer..."
:''"In fact... I’m the professor now!"
:''"And really, I’ve got the two of you to thank for that."
:''"I was just along for the ride on your adventure, but I ended up taking a real interest in the history of the Galar region."
:''"And I came to care for Pokémon even more than I ever had before!"
:''"Ah, here! It’s a book I wrote! I even signed it—that makes it a collector’s item."
:''"Aww, thanks, Hop! That’s so sweet. I’ll sign your copy for you later." :''"Anyway, I’ve got my gran’s blessing and put out my first book under my own name... I think you can expect great things of the lovely Professor Sonia in the future, wouldn’t you say?"
:''"So? What are you young’ns doing here?"
:''"Ohhh... That’s it, isn’t it? You were putting the Rusted Sword and the Rusted Shield back in their place?"
:''"Can’t just keep holding on to them forever, right?"
:''"You forgot entirely, didn’t you? What, you think the two of you are besties now with Zacian and Zamazenta or something?!"
::'''If talked to again''' :''"I don’t have the best memories of the Slumbering Weald, but I came to do a quick investigation. Hurry it up, and put the Rusted Sword and the Rusted Shield back where they belong! I’d like to get a photo of them on location."

* After returning the Rusted Sword{{sup/8|Sw}}/Rusted Shield{{sup/8|Sh}}
:''"I think I’ll stay a bit longer. I want to do a little more research here in the forest."
:''"Hm? My Power Spot Detector is going off..."
:''"Eh, ah, hello... You bought my book?"
:''"What?! There are no lies printed in that book!"
:''"What exactly are you two supposed to be?"

*After Battle
:''"What does that even mean...?"
:''"Mural? You mean the one that hid the historical ruins of Zacian and the others? And hold on a moment—<player> wasn’t the one who destroyed it."
:''"Hold on, Hop!"
:''"Ugh, that kid. He’s gone and recklessly run off..."
:''"At least you’re calm, <player>. I expected as much."
:''"I’m surprised that Hop lost to someone like that. He looked upset about something during the battle. Maybe that had something to do with it?"
:''"His own rival became the new Champion, and his goal vanished before his eyes... You can’t help but wonder how he feels about it all."
:''"Anyway! Sordward and Shielbert, was it? I think I might know something about where those two weirdos went..."
:''"Shall we go over it at the lab in Wedgehurst?"
::'''Of course''' :''"I bet I didn’t even need to ask! Thanks! OK, we’ll meet up later, then! I’ll head back to the lab."
::'''I’m worried about Hop''' :''"I get it... You feel responsible for him and want to help him as soon as you can, right? OK, we’ll meet up later, then! I’ll head back to the lab."

;[[Wedgehurst]]
* Pokémon Lab
:''"Hey, <player>! Glad you’re here.
::'''Who’s this?''' :''"She’s my assistant! I’ve been so busy with research lately that I’ve had to bring on some extra help."
::'''You got an assistant?''' :''"Spot on! I’ve been busy with my research, so I decided to bring on some extra help."
:''"I’ve been keeping all the Wishing Stars that Chairman Rose had been gathering here in the lab."
:''"Things have been a little hectic around here, but my assistant has been handling things in a proper fashion. She’s really been helping me keep things afloat."
:''"Come here for a moment, would you? There’s something I want you to have a look at."
:''"You remember my Power Spot Detector, right? It detects places where Dynamaxing is possible... Basically when there’s a high concentration of Galar particles, the readings spike..."
:''"And that’s how I figured it out!"
:''"The Power Spot Detector reacted when those two got close."
::'''Could it be...?''' :''"Exactly!"
::'''So what does that mean?''' :''"Basically..."
:''"follow the readings from the Power Spot Detector, and you might be able to find those sword and shield weirdos."
:''"Sordward and Shielbert might claim to be royalty, with their weird, fancy hairstyles. But it’s easier to just call them weirdos, don’t you think?"
:''"Let’s get back on topic, though!"
:''"I placed Power Spot Detectors all around Galar, and now it’s their time to shine."
:''"Power Spot Detectors—access!"
:''"Whoa, whoa! That’s a way bigger reaction than I would’ve thought! Looks like it’s coming from… Turffield Stadium?"
:''"You could always Dynamax Pokémon at the stadium, so that’s not exactly unusual. But these readings are way higher than normal!"
:''"It can’t be Eternatus... You already caught it. Maybe it’s something related to those sword and shield weirdos?"
:''"You should go check it out, <player>. Since you’re our snazzy new Champion and all!"
:''"I’ve set up your Town Map to show where the strong particle reactions are coming from, so have a look at it."
::'''If talked to again''' :''"I’ll leave looking into Turffield to you. I’ll stay here and try to look into those rude weirdos."

;[[Turffield]]
* After defeating the Dynamax Pokémon
:''"Ah, there you are, <player>! Things are a right proper mess!"
:''"Just when I though the Galar particle count around Turffield had calmed down..."
:''"I started getting huge Galar particle readings from Hulbury Stadium and Motostoke Stadium!"
:''"So, what exactly happened at Turffield Stadium?"
::'''Explain exactly what happened''' :''"What?! A Dynamax Pokémon went on a rampage?"
::'''Exaggerate what happened''' :''"What?! A Dynamax Pokémon completely destroyed the stadium? Wait... Turffield Stadium is still there."
:''"Huh? Those sword and shield weirdos did it?"
:''"Hm? Hop and...Piers?!"
:''"Piers, what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be back in Spikemuth?"
:''"Yes. I’m getting the same readings in other towns as I was from Turffield Stadium."
:''"Ah, but Spikemuth Gym should be OK, right? I’m only seeing readings from Hulbury Stadium and Motostoke Stadium."
:''"Leave those sword and shield weirdos to me."
:''"I can poke around the net for sightings of them!"
::'''If talked to again''' :''"Those sword and shield weirdos stick out like a sore thumb. It shouldn’t be too hard to find them. Time for a little searching on social media!"

;[[Rotom Phone]]
* After visiting both Hulbury Gym and Motostoke Gym
:''"<player>! We’ve got trouble! Those two weirdos have showed up at the Pokémon Lab!"
:''"They keep rudely demanding I hand over Wishing Stars. I’m all right for now, but get over here quick, OK? These guys are right creepy!"

;[[Wedgehurst]]
* Pokémon Lab
:''"Wishing Stars and being a celebrity have nothing to do with each other!"
:''"I don’t know how you knew about this, but there’s no way we’re giving them to you!"
:''"Hop!"
:''"Don’t let these goons put you down!"

* After Battle
:''"Those men are dangerous! Be careful!"
:''"What? Stop! Give back those Wishing Stars!"
:''"Why?!"
:''"Was everything... Was it all a lie, right from the start?"
::'''If talked to again''' :''"... ... ..."

* Outside Pokémon Lab
:''"Wait! Don’t just leave without saying anything!"
:''"Of course I’d be down on myself! It was my fault I for tricked by a Nickit in Wooloo’s clothing."
:''"But that’s it! No more feeling sorry for myself!"
:''"That lot made off like bandits with all the Wishing stars!"
:''"It’d be awful if they were used for some evil purpose, so there’s no time to be feeling down!"
:''"Gran..."
:''"But why? What reason could they have for forcing Pokémon to Dynamax?"
:''"I’m curious about what my former assistant said about a royal lineage. Did she mean it literally?"
:''"...Ah, <player>! Look at your Town Map!"
:''"I’m detecting huge reactions at four stadiums now!"
:''"Ah, Spikemuth seems to be OK. There’s no Power Spot stadium there..."
:''"I’m sorry to leave it all to you, but you’ll have to take care of the Dynamax Pokémon. I’ll search for those sword and shield weirdos in the meantime!"

;[[Rotom Phone]]
* After visiting all four Gyms
:''"<player>! It's me! Sonia!"
:''"Those sword and shield weirdos got into Hammerlocke Stadium and are headed for the Energy Plant."
:''"The door to the plant’s locked, but I think I can get it open. Give me a bit, and you’ll be able to get in there!"
:''"You hear that? Hammerlocke Stadium. Get over there as soon as you can!"

;[[Hammerlocke]]
* Before visiting all four Gyms
:''"Oh, <player>! Someone saw those sword and shield weirdos! They said they got through the door! But the door’s closed with an electric lock. Opening it might take some time..."

* After Sonia calls the player
:''"Wha—? You’re back already? Hold on a moment! I think I’ve got it... Huh? That’s strange..."
:''"What?! It...it opened?!"
:''"Yamper! I should’ve known! Thanks for your help!"
:''"Those two weird guys are probably up ahead. Be careful!"

* Energy Plant
:''"... ... ..."
:''"Well... I could believe that you two are descendants of a Galarian king..."
:''"You’re wrong! What I wrote was the truth!"
:''"My hypothesis was that Zacian and Zamazenta have been protecting the Galar region since ancient times!"
::'''If talked to''' :''"I can’t really battle, but I’ll support you however I can!"

*After Battle
:''"What was that sound?"

* Tower Summit
:''"Stop! Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} is in pain!"
:''"It’s trying to suppress and calm itself, but it can’t control all the power!"
:''"It’s coming, <player>!"

*After defeating Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}}
:''"Hop! Watch out!"
::'''If talked to''' :''"Amazing… Absolutely incredible, <player>... I wonder if Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}} is thanking you, too?"

* After catching Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}}
:''"Wow, brilliant! Seems like you’ve been recognized by real royalty!"
:''"Ah."
:''"I was really hurt at first, but I’ve rallied. Thanks to you, I ended up learning quite a bit... Ah, that came off a bit more sarcastic than I thought it would!"
:''"Righto! We’ve stopped them from causing any harm! Still, I hope Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} is OK..."
:''"<player>, your Rotom Phone! Probably Hop, I reckon!"
:''"He sure sounds like he’s got his hands full. Guess some things never change!"
:''"Even in its Poké Ball, Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}} seems worried about its partner. We should go to the Slumbering Weald and see how Hop and Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} are doing."

;[[Slumbering Weald]]
:'''If talked to''' :''"Want me to show you to the center of the woods, where Hop is waiting?"
::'''Yes''' :''"All right! Let’s get a move on."
::'''No''' :''"OK! Take all the time you need to prepare."
:''"Hop! You look a fright!"
:''"*sigh* Rushing in and trying to calm a legendary hero head on was awful reckless..."
:''"What did Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} say?"
:''"Wait, seriously?! That’s totally crazy!"
:''"You two really are something!"
:'''If talked to again''' :''"Hop sure must be tough if he’s been accepted by Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}}. Make sure you’re in top form before challenging him. If you need some time to prepare, I can take you back to the entrance of the woods."
::'''Yes''' :''"All right! Let’s get a move on."
::'''No''' :''"OK! Take all the time you need to prepare."

* After Battle
:''"Ahhh! No fair. You two are so young and cute."
:''"I’m tearing up."
:''"What?! I’m still young and super energetic!"
:''"Say, Hop. Fancy becoming my assistant at the lab?"
:''"I’ve got all the books and data on Pokémon you could ever want!"
:''"Since you want to be a professor someday, I’ll oversee your studies!"
:''"Of course! Mind you, it’ll be a lot of work. Work’s really been piling up since I lost my first assistant!"
:''"What’re you lot doing here?"
:''"I already told you two... Zacian and Zamazenta are the real royalty."
:''"Oh? Leon gave you some pretty high praise. You look like the Meowth’s got your tongue, Hop."
:''"All right, I guess we should get going, too..."

;[[Wedgehurst]]
* Pokémon Lab
:'''If talked to''' :''"If it isn’t <player>. Hop’s been studying pretty hard, surprisingly. I’m sure he’d be glad to know you dropped by for a visit."

'''Leon''' (Japanese: '''ダンデ''' ''Dande'') is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Galar]] region's [[Galar League|Pokémon League]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

==In the games==
In the English versions of the games, [[Hop]] refers to Leon by the nickname Lee. In all other languages, he is merely referred to as "older brother" or "brother".

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Leon's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
;Normal League Card
:"Leon is known far and wide for taking part in the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] at the tender age of 10 years old—and even more so for claiming victory in the Champion Cup on his first attempt. Ever since that victory, he and his partner {{p|Charizard}} have remained unbeaten in both League and exhibition matches. He is called "the unbeatable Champion" and is a hero to many Trainers. He has but one weakness: a dismal sense of direction. But don't worry—wherever he ends up, he makes sure everyone has a champion time!"
;Rare League Card
:"Leon's dream, even when he was still the Champion, was to make [[Galar]]ian Trainers the strongest Trainers in the world. In order to fulfill that dream, he has rebuilt [[Rose Tower]] into the {{gdis|Battle Tower|VIII}}, a facility dedicated to [[Pokémon battle]]s. People say that he seems even more lively now than he was as Champion. Leon has also commented that another reason he likes the tower so much is because it's impossible to get lost inside. Leon's biggest problem now is apparently coming up with a new signature catchphrase to replace "Let's have a champion time!""

====Quotes====
{{incomplete|section}}
;[[Wyndon Stadium]] (intro)
:''"You know I don’t lose battles, Raihan!"''
:''"Charizard! Dynamax!"''

;[[Wedgehurst]]
:''"Hello, hello, Wedgehurst! Your Champion, Leon, is back! I promise I’ll keep doing my best to deliver the greatest battles for you all to watch!"''
:''"Well, thank you for that! I hope you’ll all carry on training up your Pokémon and never shy from battle. Then come challenge me for the Champion title!"''
:''"Too true that Charizard is blazingly strong. But other Pokémon can be strong as well! That’s why I want the strongest of challengers to fill the Gym Challenge and come battle me!"''
:''"My wish is for Galar’s Trainers to work together to become the strongest in all the world!"''
:''"Hop!"''
:''"So, my number-one fan in all the world has come out of his way to pick me up!"''
:''"Look at you, Hop! I reckon you’ve grown...exactly an inch and a quarter since the last time I saw you!"''
:''"And these bright eyes over here... I’ve got it! You must be <player>—am I right? I’ve heard loads about you from my little brother."''
:''"I’m the Galar region’s greatest-ever Pokémon Champion—and a massive Charizard fan, too. People call me the unbeatable Leon!"''
:''"That Hop... Always wanting to be the best, isn’t he? With a proper rival of his own, I bet he’d push himself to become something truly special..."''
:''"Well, everyone! I bid you farewell for today! But don’t you fret... I’ll always be around to make sure everyone in Galar can have a champion time!"''

;[[Postwick]]
* Giving the player and Hop their starter Pokémon
:''"Right then! The greatest gift from the greatest Champion... It’s show time, everyone!"''
:''"Take a good look, you two!"''
:''"The Grass-type Pokémon... Grookey!"''
:''"The Fire-type Pokémon... Scorbunny!"''
:''"And the Water-type Pokémon... Sobble!"''
:''"All right! Line up, everyone!"''
:''"Which will you choose?"''
::'''If talked to again''' : ''"<player>! My dream is to help make the Trainers of the Galar region strong as they can be. Choose a partner for yourself and become one of those strong Trainers, won't you?"
::'''Grookey''': ''"The Grass-type Pokémon Grookey, eh? It’s soothing—like a nice, long walk in the woods."''
::''"The Grass-type Pokémon Grookey, is it?"''
::'''Scorbunny''': ''"Scorbunny is Fire type. It’s filled to bursting with fiery passion!"''
::''"You’re set on the Fire-type Pokémon Scorbunny?"''
::'''Sobble''': ''"That’s the Water-type Sobble. It adapts to anything, as surely as water flows."''
::''"Going with the Water-type Pokémon Sobble?"''
:::'''Yes''' :''"You chose Grookey/Scorbunny/Sobble!"''
:::'''No''': ''"It’s natural to want to consider your options! Though going with your instincts is fine, as well! You choose your dear partner however you like!"''
:''"I bet you will be, Hop. That’s why I brought along these Pokémon for you and <player>. So the two of you can battle and train and grow stronger together...to try to reach me!"''
:''"And you’ll come with me! Charizard will show you the ropes. He’s strict—but real strong and real kind, too!"''

* The following day
:''"You spent the whole night with that new partner of yours, right, Hop? You two getting on all right? Understanding one another? Maybe even built up a bit of love?"''
:''"Then listen up, new Trainers! Believe in yourself and your Pokémon! If you trust in one another and carry on battling side by side long enough, then someday..."''
:''"you might even become worthy rivals for me, the unbeatable Champion!"''
:''"Oh, and you think you’re worthy of calling yourself such a proper Trainer already, Hop? Guess I’ll be the judge of that! Let’s see how you handle yourself in a battle against your friend, if he's/she’s up for it."''
:''"What do you say? Willing and ready to take Hop on in the first-ever Pokémon battle of your life?"''
:::'''Yes''' : ''"Believe in your partner Pokémon! And care for them, too, with all your heart. Do those two things, and I’m certain you’ll learn to choose the moves that suit your Pokémon. And more importantly...to have a champion time battling with them!"''
:::'''No''' : ''"Than how about I give you a spot of advice. You don’t want to go getting so caught up in things that you forget everything you’ve accomplished till now. Take a moment to jot down what you’ve done, in order to save a record of your progress!"
:''"Looks like everyone’s on board, Pokémon and Trainers alike? Then let’s do this!"''

* After defeating Hop
:''"You and your Pokémon all fought hard. Made me almost want to let out Charizard and join in on all the fun! Good effort out there, <Pokémon>! Why don’t I get you all sorted?"''
:''"And, <player>, you’ve got real promise! In fact, I’ve got a favor to ask you... Be a real rival to Hop, would you? Push him, and make the both of you stronger!"''
:''"You? Join the Gym Challenge? You think you’re ready for the single greatest competition in the Galar region? Not putting the cart before the Rapidash there, Little Brother?"
:''"If that’s really what you want to do, you two have a whole lot you need to learn about Pokémon."
:''"Especially your friend <player>. Before you think about getting Gym Badges, best to think about getting a Pokédex."
:''"A Trainer’s Pokédex helps them learn lots of things about all the Pokémon out there, including their strengths. But it’s more than just a collection of data, you know. It’s a record of a Trainer’s love and passion for Pokémon training!"
:''"That’s the kind of enthusiasm a Trainer needs! I’ll let the professor know to expect you."

;[[Slumbering Weald]]
:''"Hop! <player>!"
:''"Oh, that's nice to hear from the little brother who had me worried sick! I'd been waiting ages for your two, and you never showed! Of course I came looking for the both of you!"''
:''"The little chap's just fine. Though all of you had fainted by the time I found you here. You know this place is out of bounds... But it took courage to come in here all the same. And I can understand well enough why you did it. You did good, Hop!"''
:''"Attacked by a mad Pokémon? What are you talking about, Hop?"''
:''"Your moves passed right through it? So, the fearsome Pokémon they say live in the Slumbering Weald... Are they actually illusions or something? Get strong enough and maybe the two of you could be the ones to reveal the truth someday. For now, let's simply get out of this place. You'll be all right now that I'm here with you!"''

;[[Wedgehurst]]
:''"Well done! You reached the goal and managed to find the Pokémon Research Lab! You did a far sight better than I did my first time. I'm hopeless with directions. See how your world has already grown, all thanks to having Pokémon with you? I know I'm sure glad I've got Charizard with me...to keep me from getting lost all the time. Now, in we go!"''

* Pokémon Lab
:''"I've got to give it to Professor Magnolia. Everything in here looks fascinating..."''
:''"Good to see you, too, Yamper! Yamper here is a real champ when it comes to helping you find your way around. He came to my rescue plenty of times back in the day, when I got lost on the road. Oh yeah, and that's his Trainer, Sonia. What can I say about Sonia? Well, I like the way she cooks. She makes food you can gobble down in a flash."''
:''"This is <player>. He's/She's a new Pokémon Trainer. Set him/her on the right path, would you?"''

;{{rt|2|Galar}}
:''"And I'm here to teach you how! You'll need to catch Pokémon if you've got any hope of filling in that Pokédex."''

* Noticing the player has already caught a Pokémon
:''"Only...look at you, little <player>! You’ve already caught some on your own! You mum gave you those Poké Balls, did she?

* If the player has not caught a Pokémon
:''"Every Pokémon has got a type or two, which can make it good against some opponents but poor against others. That's the reason you'll want to catch different Pokémon--to cover one another's weaknesses. Now, let's all have a champion time as I show you how it's done."''

* During the catching tutorial
:''"This is the way a real Champion catches Pokémon!"''

* After the catching tutorial/noticing the player has already caught a Pokémon
:''"I'll give you some more Poké Balls. In return, I'll only ask that you catch plenty of Pokémon! The Pokémon around here seem easy to catch. Almost like they're itching to join some Trainer's team, wouldn't you say?"''
:''"And of course, they get Exp. Points from battle, so take on the other Trainers you meet along the path to help your Pokémon thrive. Your team will keep on changing and growing as you get stronger together, no doubt... But even I don't know exactly how yet! Show your Champion something good, all right?"''

* Outside [[Professor Magnolia]]'s house
:''"So have you unraveled all the secrets of the Dynamax phenomenon yet?"''

* [[Professor Magnolia]]'s house
:''"You must already know about Dynamaxing, right, <player>? Professor Magnolia's been doing research into the Dynamax phenomenon for years and years. And it takes a proper understanding of the thing if you plan to use Dynamaxing to the fullest!"''
:''"Hop and <player> only just started out as Pokémon Trainers... There's still loads they don't know yet!"''
:''"Well yeah...you're not wrong. That goal's precisely the reason I gave them both Pokémon, in fact. Right then. In that case...how about this? Let's see if the two of you can show me such a brilliant battle that I'm left with no choice but to endorse you. And don't worry. I'll make sure both your teams are in good shape before the battle starts."''

* Outside [[Professor Magnolia]]'s house
:"You remember what I asked, don't you? I think you've got potential, and that's why I want you to be a real rival to Hop. And that's direct from your Champion Leon!"

* Before battling Hop
:''"Listen, you two. The reason I'm unbeatable is because I learn from every battle I see or take part in. That's how I've gotten to where I am today. So show me something good in this battle!"''

* After battling Hop
:''"<player>! Hop! Well, after seeing a match like that one... I suppose I've little choice but to give you both an [[endorsement]] as Champion!"''
:''"You may both be young still, and plenty rough around the edges, but it was a proper battle. Charizard and I were both feeling the excitement in every last cell in our bodies! Hop, you've always tended to get caught up in things like how you throw your Poké Ball out... Things that have nothing to do with real strength. Honestly, I'd been worried about you still obsessing over that sort of nonsense, but it seems you really have grown a bit, Little Brother! And I'd like to see some more thrilling Pokémon battles out of you, too, <player>."''
:''"Trust you to pull something like this! They say Wishing Stars fall down for those who have a true wish in their heart, you know."''

;[[Motostoke]]
:''"I'd surely never make it to the stadium without you to show me the way, partner. Even with a huge old thing like this bang in the middle of the city, I still get lost."''
:''"<player>! All right? One look tells me that you've become a Trainer worthy of that endorsement I gave you! And...yes, I reckon you might even be ready to use this... Here, try giving this to your partner to hold!"''
:''"You can take that lift up to the city's upper level, if you're headed for the stadium next."''

* If talked to again
:''"I guess you might want to have a look around the city first. Only don't get lost like I do! When you're ready to visit the stadium, take the lift to get up there!"''

;[[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"You've made it at last, Hop. And you, too, <player>!"''
:''"The chairman certainly seems to be in high spirits! Now, listen closely, you two. You've both only just started on your path as Trainers. If you want to win, you need to do more than just train your Pokémon. You need to train yourselves, too."''

;[[Hammerlocke]]
:''"<player>! Seems you're doing well collecting Gym Badges."''
:''"But Hop... Did something happen with him? He was acting really odd when I ran into him. He took one look at him and immediately was like, "I'm so sorry, Lee!" It might be the first time I've heard him apologize for anything, and I've no idea what it was for!"''
:''"Maybe he's feeling down because he's had some hard losses in battle?"''
::'''He lost to that Challenger Bede''' :''"When you lose, you feel down in the dumps. But then there's nowhere left to go but back up! You've got to think on why it was you lost, though. You know, that little brother of mine...I think he might yet become a surprisingly great Trainer!"''
::'''I think so''' :''"At least I’ve got you to keep an eye on him. You will look out for Hop, won’t you? As his rival."
:''"Blast, and look at the time! Nearly forgot my meeting with the chairman. That Oleana really lets me hear it when I'm late! Now if only I could remember which way to go..."''
:''"Anyway, I'd say that you should go and say hello to Raihan while you're here, <player>. He's the greatest rival I've got and the final hurdle you'll have to face in the Gym Challenge. He should still be around the vault, if you hurry. It's down that way--on the way to Route 6."''

* After defeating [[Opal]]
:''"Hey, Sonia! And <player>, too! You felt that shaking, right? Seems Chairman Rose is testing something again."''
:''"Is that so? I can make sure the chairman knows."''

;{{rt|9|Galar}}
:''"<player>! Thanks for coming, but I've got a handle on this! Whatever's making that noise, I'll see to it!"''
:''"I already told you, didn't I? Keep your eye on the goal! And for you, that's winning the Gym Challenge! The only Gym Badge left is the one you'll get from the Dragon Gym's Leader, Raihan. Right? Raihan is the only Trainer out there I consider a real rival. He's that good, you know!"''
:''"And there I go again! Sorry, but I suppose this is no time for me to be stopping for a chat. There's a bit of trouble here with my name on it. But don't you worry about a thing! The unbeatable champion is here to look after things and keep you all safe!"''
:''"That came from the tunnel, wouldn't you say? Seems I'm about to have a champion time!"''

;[[Hammerlocke]]
* After defeating [[Piers]]
:''"Well, I am the unbeatable Champion, after all! But what all is going on here?"''
:''"Did the chairman know anything?"
:''"Thanks! I appreciate the thought. But all I could ever ask of you would be that you join me in the greatest final match ever. I'll do my part to make that happen by keeping everybody's future safe. So you just keep on doing your part by winning your way through the Gym Challenge!"''
:''"Looks like we all know what we need to do. So, you two--clear the Gym Challenge so we can meet again at the Champion Cup!"''

;[[Wyndon Stadium]]
:''"<player>!"''
:''"That was incredible. Brilliant. Honestly...there were even tears rolling down my face before I knew it. To think that the two of you set out together from the same town, built up the greatest teams, and arrived here at this point to throw everything you had at one another... That burning desire to win... Those moves filled with undefeatable passion! It was battling at its very purest, in every possible way! Even though there were some Trainers who weren't sure whether you were fit to be endorsed for the Gym Challenge at first..."''
:''"Well then, all the more reason! My team members and I will give everything that we've got in us to defeat our challenger. And the challenger standing before us might well end up being you, <player>. In fact, that's precisely what I'm hoping for!"''
:''"Best to refill your energy stores first! Why don't we go get some dinner together?"''

;[[Rose Tower]]
:''"I think I understand well enough. What I don't understand is why we ought to cancel tomorrow's tournament in order to solve a problem that's a thousand years away from affecting any of us! What difference is one day going to make? My duty as Champion isn't this...this madness. It's to carry out that Championship Match! That's what Galar wants--and what I want! It's what we've all been looking forward to for so long!"''
:''"In a thousand years! Fine. Look. I think I understand your concerns, Chairman. And I give my word I'll help you with your plans...just as soon as tomorrow's match is over."''
:''"Never mind any of this, Hop, <player>. Let's head back to the hotel, and we'll all grab dinner together, yeah? It's on me, so you can order whatever you fancy."''
:''"If you'll excuse us, Chairman Rose... And I do hope you'll watch tomorrow's match. It's sure to be one for the history books."''

;Wyndon Stadium
* Champion Cup Finals intro
:''"It probably goes without saying, but... hello, Galar! I’m your Champion, Leon!"''
:''"The chairman is tied up with some business, so I hope no one minds me stepping in on his behalf..."''
:''"in order to lead you all to greater heights as Pokémon Trainers of the Galar region!"''
:''"The time has come for you to battle it out until only the greatest challenger remains!"''
:''"So, on behalf of the chairman, allow me to say... let the Finals matches begin!"''

* After clearing the Finals
:''"The tense, still air on the pitch... And the exact opposite from the audience, cheering and yelling... They're both fantastic, wouldn't you say?"''
:''"But remember, the audience is also a bit cruel... They want nothing more than to see one of us lose, after all! It can fill you with fear knowing that, but I absolutely love pushing past the fear. I love giving it everything I've got as a Trainer and seeing my team give everything they've got to seize another victory! It's the greatest feeling in the world, and I can't get enough of it!"''
:''"I can feel my partners itching with anticipation inside their Poké Balls... We're going to have a real champion time!"''
:''"I'm the Galar region's Champion, Leon! Me and Charizard, and all the rest of our team, will use all our knowledge and experience to crush you completely!"''

* After Rose's interruption
:''"I don't know! But everything he was saying yesterday... Did he really pull this crazy stunt to solve some problem a thousand years in the future?! I've got to go see what's going on... I'm the Champion! I have to go!"''
:''"I should've realized what the chairman intended to do before it came to this... I'll take responsibility now for fixing this mess! This is the real Champion time!"''

;[[Energy Plant|Tower Summit]]
:''"You came to help me in spite of the danger? Thanks, Hop. And you, <player>. You two really have grown tremendously! But no need for you kids to worry. It seems like some power of {{p|Eternatus}}'s was keeping my team from Dynamaxing, but...we've had a champion time all the same!"''
:''"Charizard and the rest of my champion team members have really worn Eternatus down."''
:''"Now if I can simply catch it in a Poké Ball, we should be able to get this madness under control. Then everything will be back to normal. So watch this! It's going to be a real champion catch!"''

;Wyndon Stadium
* Before battle
:''"My matches are always sold out, but this... I've never seen a crowd this wild!"''
:''"Everyone knows what you did for us this week, <player>... They know you're the one who caught Eternatus and saved the future of the Galar region."''
:''"A real hero, who battled alongside the Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}... I couldn't have dreamed of a better challenger to help increase my winning streak!"''
:''"Now that I've seen just what kind of strength you possess as the greatest of challengers...crushing you into the dirt will show everyone just how strong their Champion truly is!"''
:''"Come on, <player>! Let's make this a final match that'll go down in Galar's history! No! A match that'll change Galar forever!"''
:''"We're gonna have an absolutely champion time!"''

* After sending out first Pokémon
:''"It's one of the duties of the Champion to get the crowd fired up!"''

* Upon first receiving a super effective hit
:''"A supereffective hit... I'd expect nothing less from your team!"''

* Upon first landing a super effective hit
:''"Aiming for supereffective hits is a surefire way to claim victory!"''

* Upon first receiving a [[critical hit]]
:''"A critical hit... Hah! Pretty good, Challenger!"''

* Upon first landing a critical hit
:''"Don't get caught up on a critical hit. Focus on what you're going to do next!"''

* Before sending out final Pokémon
:''"I'm not finished having a champion time here! And I won't let anyone finish it for me!"''

* Upon [[Gigantamax]]ing Charizard
:''"I'll show you what Charizard can really do! It's Gigantamax time!"''

*Upon using {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}
:''"It’s a champion time to turn up the heat! Charizard, time for our G-Max Wildfire!"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"My time as Champion is over... But what a champion time it’s been! Thank you for the greatest battle I’ve ever had!"''

* After being defeated
:''"Congratulations, <player>!"''
:''"You’ve beat even the unbeatable Champion— making you the new Champion of the region!"''
:''"You’ve become a first-rate Trainer, all right."''
:''"I offer you my heartfelt congratulations!"''
:''"And now that you’ve grown so strong, perhaps it’s time I started looking ahead myself."''
:''"It’s time we adults started working on improving the here and now, for the sake of all that’s to come!"''
:''"And you, <player>! What you ought to do now is..."''
:''"believe in yourself and your partner Pokémon, and keep on blasting ahead!"''
:''"In order to create that bright future we all hope to see!"''
:''"People of Galar!"''
:''"Here you have it! A new legend born right before your eyes!"''
:''"Your Champion, <player>!"''
:''"Bet you can’t wait to see what kind of future a kid with this kind of strength might bring about!"''
:''"I sure can’t! Let’s watch and see what he/she can do!"''

;[[Slumbering Weald]]
* [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]
:''"And I’m here to keep an eye on them. They did technically descend from the original kings of Galar, after all."
:''"Seems you lot have been up to all sorts of things while I was stuck in Rose Tower trying to take care of the mess the chairman left behind."
:''"Hop!"
:''"Just so you know, I saw your Pokémon battle against Champion <plater>."
:''"You sure have gotten strong! You were so good, I nearly sent out my Charizard without thinking, wanting to join in on the fun!"
:''"It seems like you’ve found your own path to walk in life, Hop."
:''"As your older brother… No, as your rival, you have my full support!"

* Before battle
:''"<player>! I’ve been waiting for you. Always knew you’d be able to win your way here. Now, how about you take on Challenger Leon with everything that you’ve got?"''
* Upon being defeated
:''"Battling against a Champion like you... It really is the best... And since you managed to defeat me, you’ll be moving up the ranks here at the Battle Tower."''
* After being defeated
:''"I knew you had it in you, <player>! I was sure you and your Pokémon would blast right through the first stage of the Battle Tower! But don’t go thinking you’ve seen all the Battle Tower has to offer. We’re only getting started!"''

* Before battle
:''"Well done, <player>! Just as I knew you’d do! I never expected the Poké Ball Tier would hold you long... Now it’s time you and I had some fun!"''
* Upon being defeated
:''"I’m glad we’ve got such a strong Champion here in Galar, but even more than that... I’m gutted to have lost! Thanks for always giving me the chance to have the greatest battles. But I don’t plan on losing the next one!"''
* After being defeated
:''"Your Pokémon certainly look delighted to battle alongside you, <player>! But of course they do! They’re lucky enough to battle with a Trainer who knows just how to draw out the best of them! That’s it. I’m gonna be sure to draw out even more of my own team members from now on, too!"''

;Great Ball Tier
* Before battle
:''"The Battle Tower is the place to go if you want to see how Trainers dedicated to growing stronger live and do battle. Looks as though your own strength is about as amazing as ever, <player>. But I’ll not just take your word for it!"''
* Upon being defeated
:''"You and your team are utterly brilliant. You’ve gone beyond me now... So it’s time we move you up a rank! But I don’t plan on sitting on my bum. The next time we meet in the Battle Tower, I’ll make you regret winning your way to facing me!"''
* After being defeated
:''"The strong desire to win! That’s the trigger that makes you accumulate new skills and transform experience into strength! And you and your team—you’ve got a real great desire to win, don’t you! Love it! But you still haven’t seen the real challenge the Battle Tower is waiting to throw at you!"''

;Ultra Ball Tier
* Before battle
:''"My dream has always been to make the people of the Galar region stronger. And this Battle Tower is making that dream come true! So come on, <player>! Think you and I can get even stronger, too? A fierce battle is the only way to do it!"''

:''"You never stop surprising me, you know that? I’m really astounded at how far you’ve come! Right then! Let’s move you up a rank! There are no limits when it comes to Pokémon! Keep on having a champion time!"''
* After being defeated
:''"Now, that’s an absolutely champion time! The stronger you get, the more the Trainers here at the Battle Tower burn with the desire to be the one to beat you and break your streak! Their Pokémon are all sharpening their teeth and claws in anticipation! And I’ll be putting together my greatest ever team, too. Naturally! So, do your best to reach me once again!"''

;Master Ball Tier
* Before battle
:''"Looking back at when I first met you in Wedgehurst, the path to this place feels... well, short in one way, but so long in others. Allow me to be the one who faces you in the greatest-ever match here at the Battle Tower!"''
* Upon being defeated
:''"When I’ve got you, and I’ve got Hop, and I’ve got Charizard beside me... I feel there’s no limit to how strong I can become! It’s just like I told you before... There’s truly no limit when it comes to Pokémon! We’re all going to have a champion time!"''
* After being defeated
:''"The greatest battle of the Battle Tower is over... But at least since it was between you and me... No, since it was between your team and mine, we managed to make it one brilliant match!

==In the anime==
[[File:Leon anime.png|250px|thumb|Leon in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===In the main series===
Leon debuted in [[SS012]], where he had a bout against [[Lance]] in the finals of the [[World Championships|Pokémon World Championships]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]], using his {{p|Charizard}} to go up against [[Red Gyarados|Lance's Gyarados]]. After a hard-fought battle, Leon emerged victorious, making him the World Champion.

Leon reappeared in [[SS013]], where he heard a commotion outside the stadium and went to see what was happening. He saw {{Ash}} battling a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Drednaw}} with his {{AP|Pikachu}} and noticed that it had Gigantamaxed without a [[Dynamax Band]]. He gave Ash advice that allowed him to defeat Drednaw before properly introducing himself to them. The next day, Leon approached Ash and {{an|Go}} at the [[Wyndon]] [[Pokémon Center]] and accepted Ash's earlier request for a battle. Beforehand, Leon gave Ash an explanation of how [[Dynamax]]ing and [[G-Max Move]]s worked and gave him his own Dynamax Band. During the battle, both sides Gigantamaxed their Pokémon, with Pikachu even managing to land a couple hits on Charizard, but in the end, Pikachu was defeated. Ash and Leon then promised to each other that once Ash was strong enough, they would battle again.

The {{pkmn|Champion}} and his partner eventually emerged victorious. He later appeared with his Charizard in a brief flashback [[Chairman Rose]] had while meeting {{gal|John}}, a fan of Leon's.

Leon reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[TW02|Training]]'', where Bea thought she saw him in the [[Wild Area]], only to realize it was actually a {{p|Rhydon}}. He reappeared again in ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', where [[Hop]] watched his match with Bea on television.

==In the manga==
[[File:Leon Adventures.png|thumb|170px|Leon in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Leon debuted in the {{chap|Sword & Shield}}. He was first seen on the outskirts of [[Wedgehurst]], trying to move a flock of {{p|Wooloo}} off of some train tracks. He was helped by [[Sōdo Tsurugi|Sōdo]] and [[Shirudomiria Tate|Shirudomiria]], who drove off the {{p|Obstagoon}} that was terrorizing the Wooloo. After introducing himself to the children, Leon headed off to [[Motostoke]] to appear on a television program, only to get lost on the way there.

Later, it was revealed that Leon had decided to [[endorsement|endorse]] the two Trainers for the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] thanks to this experience, just like they had hoped he would. The [[Gym Leader]]s of Galar were surprised by this decision, as Leon had never endorsed two Trainers at the same time before.

==Trivia==
* Leon's uniform number is "1", making him the only NPC with a uniform number not using all three available digits.
* Leon's {{pkmn|Champion}} logo is only displayed when the {{player}} enters the center of [[Wyndon Stadium]] before the actual {{pkmn|battle}} with Leon. When the player enters the area before the match that [[Chairman Rose|Rose]] soon interrupts, the regular Wyndon Stadium logo is displayed instead.
* Leon is the second character ([[Professor Oak#Unused teams|outside of cut content]]) who is neither a [[rival]] nor a [[player character]] as an NPC whose team can change depending on the [[starter Pokémon]] chosen by the player, with the other being [[Professor Kukui]].
* Leon failed [[Opal]]'s audition, getting only one out of three answers correct. Opal's notes on Leon are: "Your talent in Pokémon battles is beyond anything I’ve ever seen, but you’re rather hard to read..."

:"Leon is known far and wide for taking part in the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] at the tender age of 10 years old—and even more so for claiming victory in the Champion Cup on his first attempt. Ever since that victory, he and his partner {{p|Charizard}} have remained unbeaten in both League and exhibition matches. He is called "the unbeatable Champion" and is a hero to many Trainers. He has but one weakness: a dismal sense of direction. But don't worry—wherever he ends up, he makes sure everyone has a champion time!"
;Rare League Card
:"Leon's dream, even when he was still the Champion, was to make [[Galar]]ian Trainers the strongest Trainers in the world. In order to fulfill that dream, he has rebuilt [[Rose Tower]] into the {{gdis|Battle Tower|VIII}}, a facility dedicated to [[Pokémon battle]]s. People say that he seems even more lively now than he was as Champion. Leon has also commented that another reason he likes the tower so much is because it's impossible to get lost inside. Leon's biggest problem now is apparently coming up with a new signature catchphrase to replace "Let's have a champion time!""

====Quotes====
{{incomplete|section}}
;[[Wyndon Stadium]] (intro)
:''"You know I don’t lose battles, Raihan!"''
:''"Charizard! Dynamax!"''

;[[Wedgehurst]]
:''"Hello, hello, Wedgehurst! Your Champion, Leon, is back! I promise I’ll keep doing my best to deliver the greatest battles for you all to watch!"''
:''"Well, thank you for that! I hope you’ll all carry on training up your Pokémon and never shy from battle. Then come challenge me for the Champion title!"''
:''"Too true that Charizard is blazingly strong. But other Pokémon can be strong as well! That’s why I want the strongest of challengers to fill the Gym Challenge and come battle me!"''
:''"My wish is for Galar’s Trainers to work together to become the strongest in all the world!"''
:''"Hop!"''
:''"So, my number-one fan in all the world has come out of his way to pick me up!"''
:''"Look at you, Hop! I reckon you’ve grown...exactly an inch and a quarter since the last time I saw you!"''
:''"And these bright eyes over here... I’ve got it! You must be <player>—am I right? I’ve heard loads about you from my little brother."''
:''"I’m the Galar region’s greatest-ever Pokémon Champion—and a massive Charizard fan, too. People call me the unbeatable Leon!"''
:''"That Hop... Always wanting to be the best, isn’t he? With a proper rival of his own, I bet he’d push himself to become something truly special..."''
:''"Well, everyone! I bid you farewell for today! But don’t you fret... I’ll always be around to make sure everyone in Galar can have a champion time!"''

;[[Postwick]]
* Giving the player and Hop their starter Pokémon
:''"Right then! The greatest gift from the greatest Champion... It’s show time, everyone!"''
:''"Take a good look, you two!"''
:''"The Grass-type Pokémon... Grookey!"''
:''"The Fire-type Pokémon... Scorbunny!"''
:''"And the Water-type Pokémon... Sobble!"''
:''"All right! Line up, everyone!"''
:''"Which will you choose?"''
::'''If talked to again''' : ''"<player>! My dream is to help make the Trainers of the Galar region strong as they can be. Choose a partner for yourself and become one of those strong Trainers, won't you?"
::'''Grookey''': ''"The Grass-type Pokémon Grookey, eh? It’s soothing—like a nice, long walk in the woods."''
::''"The Grass-type Pokémon Grookey, is it?"''
::'''Scorbunny''': ''"Scorbunny is Fire type. It’s filled to bursting with fiery passion!"''
::''"You’re set on the Fire-type Pokémon Scorbunny?"''
::'''Sobble''': ''"That’s the Water-type Sobble. It adapts to anything, as surely as water flows."''
::''"Going with the Water-type Pokémon Sobble?"''
:::'''Yes''' :''"You chose Grookey/Scorbunny/Sobble!"''
:::'''No''': ''"It’s natural to want to consider your options! Though going with your instincts is fine, as well! You choose your dear partner however you like!"''
:''"I bet you will be, Hop. That’s why I brought along these Pokémon for you and <player>. So the two of you can battle and train and grow stronger together...to try to reach me!"''
:''"And you’ll come with me! Charizard will show you the ropes. He’s strict—but real strong and real kind, too!"''

* The following day
:''"You spent the whole night with that new partner of yours, right, Hop? You two getting on all right? Understanding one another? Maybe even built up a bit of love?"''
:''"Then listen up, new Trainers! Believe in yourself and your Pokémon! If you trust in one another and carry on battling side by side long enough, then someday..."''
:''"you might even become worthy rivals for me, the unbeatable Champion!"''
:''"Oh, and you think you’re worthy of calling yourself such a proper Trainer already, Hop? Guess I’ll be the judge of that! Let’s see how you handle yourself in a battle against your friend, if he's/she’s up for it."''
:''"What do you say? Willing and ready to take Hop on in the first-ever Pokémon battle of your life?"''
:::'''Yes''' : ''"Believe in your partner Pokémon! And care for them, too, with all your heart. Do those two things, and I’m certain you’ll learn to choose the moves that suit your Pokémon. And more importantly...to have a champion time battling with them!"''
:::'''No''' : ''"Than how about I give you a spot of advice. You don’t want to go getting so caught up in things that you forget everything you’ve accomplished till now. Take a moment to jot down what you’ve done, in order to save a record of your progress!"
:''"Looks like everyone’s on board, Pokémon and Trainers alike? Then let’s do this!"''

* After defeating Hop
:''"You and your Pokémon all fought hard. Made me almost want to let out Charizard and join in on all the fun! Good effort out there, <Pokémon>! Why don’t I get you all sorted?"''
:''"And, <player>, you’ve got real promise! In fact, I’ve got a favor to ask you... Be a real rival to Hop, would you? Push him, and make the both of you stronger!"''
:''"You? Join the Gym Challenge? You think you’re ready for the single greatest competition in the Galar region? Not putting the cart before the Rapidash there, Little Brother?"
:''"If that’s really what you want to do, you two have a whole lot you need to learn about Pokémon."
:''"Especially your friend <player>. Before you think about getting Gym Badges, best to think about getting a Pokédex."
:''"A Trainer’s Pokédex helps them learn lots of things about all the Pokémon out there, including their strengths. But it’s more than just a collection of data, you know. It’s a record of a Trainer’s love and passion for Pokémon training!"
:''"That’s the kind of enthusiasm a Trainer needs! I’ll let the professor know to expect you."

;[[Slumbering Weald]]
:''"Hop! <player>!"
:''"Oh, that's nice to hear from the little brother who had me worried sick! I'd been waiting ages for your two, and you never showed! Of course I came looking for the both of you!"''
:''"The little chap's just fine. Though all of you had fainted by the time I found you here. You know this place is out of bounds... But it took courage to come in here all the same. And I can understand well enough why you did it. You did good, Hop!"''
:''"Attacked by a mad Pokémon? What are you talking about, Hop?"''
:''"Your moves passed right through it? So, the fearsome Pokémon they say live in the Slumbering Weald... Are they actually illusions or something? Get strong enough and maybe the two of you could be the ones to reveal the truth someday. For now, let's simply get out of this place. You'll be all right now that I'm here with you!"''

;[[Wedgehurst]]
:''"Well done! You reached the goal and managed to find the Pokémon Research Lab! You did a far sight better than I did my first time. I'm hopeless with directions. See how your world has already grown, all thanks to having Pokémon with you? I know I'm sure glad I've got Charizard with me...to keep me from getting lost all the time. Now, in we go!"''

* Pokémon Lab
:''"I've got to give it to Professor Magnolia. Everything in here looks fascinating..."''
:''"Good to see you, too, Yamper! Yamper here is a real champ when it comes to helping you find your way around. He came to my rescue plenty of times back in the day, when I got lost on the road. Oh yeah, and that's his Trainer, Sonia. What can I say about Sonia? Well, I like the way she cooks. She makes food you can gobble down in a flash."''
:''"This is <player>. He's/She's a new Pokémon Trainer. Set him/her on the right path, would you?"''

;{{rt|2|Galar}}
:''"And I'm here to teach you how! You'll need to catch Pokémon if you've got any hope of filling in that Pokédex."''

* Noticing the player has already caught a Pokémon
:''"Only...look at you, little <player>! You’ve already caught some on your own! You mum gave you those Poké Balls, did she?

* If the player has not caught a Pokémon
:''"Every Pokémon has got a type or two, which can make it good against some opponents but poor against others. That's the reason you'll want to catch different Pokémon--to cover one another's weaknesses. Now, let's all have a champion time as I show you how it's done."''

* During the catching tutorial
:''"This is the way a real Champion catches Pokémon!"''

* After the catching tutorial/noticing the player has already caught a Pokémon
:''"I'll give you some more Poké Balls. In return, I'll only ask that you catch plenty of Pokémon! The Pokémon around here seem easy to catch. Almost like they're itching to join some Trainer's team, wouldn't you say?"''
:''"And of course, they get Exp. Points from battle, so take on the other Trainers you meet along the path to help your Pokémon thrive. Your team will keep on changing and growing as you get stronger together, no doubt... But even I don't know exactly how yet! Show your Champion something good, all right?"''

* Outside [[Professor Magnolia]]'s house
:''"So have you unraveled all the secrets of the Dynamax phenomenon yet?"''

* [[Professor Magnolia]]'s house
:''"You must already know about Dynamaxing, right, <player>? Professor Magnolia's been doing research into the Dynamax phenomenon for years and years. And it takes a proper understanding of the thing if you plan to use Dynamaxing to the fullest!"''
:''"Hop and <player> only just started out as Pokémon Trainers... There's still loads they don't know yet!"''
:''"Well yeah...you're not wrong. That goal's precisely the reason I gave them both Pokémon, in fact. Right then. In that case...how about this? Let's see if the two of you can show me such a brilliant battle that I'm left with no choice but to endorse you. And don't worry. I'll make sure both your teams are in good shape before the battle starts."''

* Outside [[Professor Magnolia]]'s house
:"You remember what I asked, don't you? I think you've got potential, and that's why I want you to be a real rival to Hop. And that's direct from your Champion Leon!"

* Before battling Hop
:''"Listen, you two. The reason I'm unbeatable is because I learn from every battle I see or take part in. That's how I've gotten to where I am today. So show me something good in this battle!"''

* After battling Hop
:''"<player>! Hop! Well, after seeing a match like that one... I suppose I've little choice but to give you both an [[endorsement]] as Champion!"''
:''"You may both be young still, and plenty rough around the edges, but it was a proper battle. Charizard and I were both feeling the excitement in every last cell in our bodies! Hop, you've always tended to get caught up in things like how you throw your Poké Ball out... Things that have nothing to do with real strength. Honestly, I'd been worried about you still obsessing over that sort of nonsense, but it seems you really have grown a bit, Little Brother! And I'd like to see some more thrilling Pokémon battles out of you, too, <player>."''
:''"Trust you to pull something like this! They say Wishing Stars fall down for those who have a true wish in their heart, you know."''

;[[Motostoke]]
:''"I'd surely never make it to the stadium without you to show me the way, partner. Even with a huge old thing like this bang in the middle of the city, I still get lost."''
:''"<player>! All right? One look tells me that you've become a Trainer worthy of that endorsement I gave you! And...yes, I reckon you might even be ready to use this... Here, try giving this to your partner to hold!"''
:''"You can take that lift up to the city's upper level, if you're headed for the stadium next."''

* If talked to again
:''"I guess you might want to have a look around the city first. Only don't get lost like I do! When you're ready to visit the stadium, take the lift to get up there!"''

;[[Motostoke Stadium]]
:''"You've made it at last, Hop. And you, too, <player>!"''
:''"The chairman certainly seems to be in high spirits! Now, listen closely, you two. You've both only just started on your path as Trainers. If you want to win, you need to do more than just train your Pokémon. You need to train yourselves, too."''

;[[Hammerlocke]]
:''"<player>! Seems you're doing well collecting Gym Badges."''
:''"But Hop... Did something happen with him? He was acting really odd when I ran into him. He took one look at him and immediately was like, "I'm so sorry, Lee!" It might be the first time I've heard him apologize for anything, and I've no idea what it was for!"''
:''"Maybe he's feeling down because he's had some hard losses in battle?"''
::'''He lost to that Challenger Bede''' :''"When you lose, you feel down in the dumps. But then there's nowhere left to go but back up! You've got to think on why it was you lost, though. You know, that little brother of mine...I think he might yet become a surprisingly great Trainer!"''
::'''I think so''' :''"At least I’ve got you to keep an eye on him. You will look out for Hop, won’t you? As his rival."
:''"Blast, and look at the time! Nearly forgot my meeting with the chairman. That Oleana really lets me hear it when I'm late! Now if only I could remember which way to go..."''
:''"Anyway, I'd say that you should go and say hello to Raihan while you're here, <player>. He's the greatest rival I've got and the final hurdle you'll have to face in the Gym Challenge. He should still be around the vault, if you hurry. It's down that way--on the way to Route 6."''

* After defeating [[Opal]]
:''"Hey, Sonia! And <player>, too! You felt that shaking, right? Seems Chairman Rose is testing something again."''
:''"Is that so? I can make sure the chairman knows."''

;{{rt|9|Galar}}
:''"<player>! Thanks for coming, but I've got a handle on this! Whatever's making that noise, I'll see to it!"''
:''"I already told you, didn't I? Keep your eye on the goal! And for you, that's winning the Gym Challenge! The only Gym Badge left is the one you'll get from the Dragon Gym's Leader, Raihan. Right? Raihan is the only Trainer out there I consider a real rival. He's that good, you know!"''
:''"And there I go again! Sorry, but I suppose this is no time for me to be stopping for a chat. There's a bit of trouble here with my name on it. But don't you worry about a thing! The unbeatable champion is here to look after things and keep you all safe!"''
:''"That came from the tunnel, wouldn't you say? Seems I'm about to have a champion time!"''

;[[Hammerlocke]]
* After defeating [[Piers]]
:''"Well, I am the unbeatable Champion, after all! But what all is going on here?"''
:''"Did the chairman know anything?"
:''"Thanks! I appreciate the thought. But all I could ever ask of you would be that you join me in the greatest final match ever. I'll do my part to make that happen by keeping everybody's future safe. So you just keep on doing your part by winning your way through the Gym Challenge!"''
:''"Looks like we all know what we need to do. So, you two--clear the Gym Challenge so we can meet again at the Champion Cup!"''

;[[Wyndon Stadium]]
:''"<player>!"''
:''"That was incredible. Brilliant. Honestly...there were even tears rolling down my face before I knew it. To think that the two of you set out together from the same town, built up the greatest teams, and arrived here at this point to throw everything you had at one another... That burning desire to win... Those moves filled with undefeatable passion! It was battling at its very purest, in every possible way! Even though there were some Trainers who weren't sure whether you were fit to be endorsed for the Gym Challenge at first..."''
:''"Well then, all the more reason! My team members and I will give everything that we've got in us to defeat our challenger. And the challenger standing before us might well end up being you, <player>. In fact, that's precisely what I'm hoping for!"''
:''"Best to refill your energy stores first! Why don't we go get some dinner together?"''

;[[Rose Tower]]
:''"I think I understand well enough. What I don't understand is why we ought to cancel tomorrow's tournament in order to solve a problem that's a thousand years away from affecting any of us! What difference is one day going to make? My duty as Champion isn't this...this madness. It's to carry out that Championship Match! That's what Galar wants--and what I want! It's what we've all been looking forward to for so long!"''
:''"In a thousand years! Fine. Look. I think I understand your concerns, Chairman. And I give my word I'll help you with your plans...just as soon as tomorrow's match is over."''
:''"Never mind any of this, Hop, <player>. Let's head back to the hotel, and we'll all grab dinner together, yeah? It's on me, so you can order whatever you fancy."''
:''"If you'll excuse us, Chairman Rose... And I do hope you'll watch tomorrow's match. It's sure to be one for the history books."''

;Wyndon Stadium
* Champion Cup Finals intro
:''"It probably goes without saying, but... hello, Galar! I’m your Champion, Leon!"''
:''"The chairman is tied up with some business, so I hope no one minds me stepping in on his behalf..."''
:''"in order to lead you all to greater heights as Pokémon Trainers of the Galar region!"''
:''"The time has come for you to battle it out until only the greatest challenger remains!"''
:''"So, on behalf of the chairman, allow me to say... let the Finals matches begin!"''

* After clearing the Finals
:''"The tense, still air on the pitch... And the exact opposite from the audience, cheering and yelling... They're both fantastic, wouldn't you say?"''
:''"But remember, the audience is also a bit cruel... They want nothing more than to see one of us lose, after all! It can fill you with fear knowing that, but I absolutely love pushing past the fear. I love giving it everything I've got as a Trainer and seeing my team give everything they've got to seize another victory! It's the greatest feeling in the world, and I can't get enough of it!"''
:''"I can feel my partners itching with anticipation inside their Poké Balls... We're going to have a real champion time!"''
:''"I'm the Galar region's Champion, Leon! Me and Charizard, and all the rest of our team, will use all our knowledge and experience to crush you completely!"''

* After Rose's interruption
:''"I don't know! But everything he was saying yesterday... Did he really pull this crazy stunt to solve some problem a thousand years in the future?! I've got to go see what's going on... I'm the Champion! I have to go!"''
:''"I should've realized what the chairman intended to do before it came to this... I'll take responsibility now for fixing this mess! This is the real Champion time!"''

;[[Energy Plant|Tower Summit]]
:''"You came to help me in spite of the danger? Thanks, Hop. And you, <player>. You two really have grown tremendously! But no need for you kids to worry. It seems like some power of {{p|Eternatus}}'s was keeping my team from Dynamaxing, but...we've had a champion time all the same!"''
:''"Charizard and the rest of my champion team members have really worn Eternatus down."''
:''"Now if I can simply catch it in a Poké Ball, we should be able to get this madness under control. Then everything will be back to normal. So watch this! It's going to be a real champion catch!"''

;Wyndon Stadium
* Before battle
:''"My matches are always sold out, but this... I've never seen a crowd this wild!"''
:''"Everyone knows what you did for us this week, <player>... They know you're the one who caught Eternatus and saved the future of the Galar region."''
:''"A real hero, who battled alongside the Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}... I couldn't have dreamed of a better challenger to help increase my winning streak!"''
:''"Now that I've seen just what kind of strength you possess as the greatest of challengers...crushing you into the dirt will show everyone just how strong their Champion truly is!"''
:''"Come on, <player>! Let's make this a final match that'll go down in Galar's history! No! A match that'll change Galar forever!"''
:''"We're gonna have an absolutely champion time!"''

* After sending out first Pokémon
:''"It's one of the duties of the Champion to get the crowd fired up!"''

* Upon first receiving a super effective hit
:''"A supereffective hit... I'd expect nothing less from your team!"''

* Upon first landing a super effective hit
:''"Aiming for supereffective hits is a surefire way to claim victory!"''

* Upon first receiving a [[critical hit]]
:''"A critical hit... Hah! Pretty good, Challenger!"''

* Upon first landing a critical hit
:''"Don't get caught up on a critical hit. Focus on what you're going to do next!"''

* Before sending out final Pokémon
:''"I'm not finished having a champion time here! And I won't let anyone finish it for me!"''

* Upon [[Gigantamax]]ing Charizard
:''"I'll show you what Charizard can really do! It's Gigantamax time!"''

*Upon using {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}
:''"It’s a champion time to turn up the heat! Charizard, time for our G-Max Wildfire!"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"My time as Champion is over... But what a champion time it’s been! Thank you for the greatest battle I’ve ever had!"''

* After being defeated
:''"Congratulations, <player>!"''
:''"You’ve beat even the unbeatable Champion— making you the new Champion of the region!"''
:''"You’ve become a first-rate Trainer, all right."''
:''"I offer you my heartfelt congratulations!"''
:''"And now that you’ve grown so strong, perhaps it’s time I started looking ahead myself."''
:''"It’s time we adults started working on improving the here and now, for the sake of all that’s to come!"''
:''"And you, <player>! What you ought to do now is..."''
:''"believe in yourself and your partner Pokémon, and keep on blasting ahead!"''
:''"In order to create that bright future we all hope to see!"''
:''"People of Galar!"''
:''"Here you have it! A new legend born right before your eyes!"''
:''"Your Champion, <player>!"''
:''"Bet you can’t wait to see what kind of future a kid with this kind of strength might bring about!"''
:''"I sure can’t! Let’s watch and see what he/she can do!"''

:''"Hop!"
:''"Just so you know, I saw your Pokémon battle against Champion <plater>."
:''"You sure have gotten strong! You were so good, I nearly sent out my Charizard without thinking, wanting to join in on the fun!"

* After being defeated

* After being defeated
:''"Your Pokémon certainly look delighted to battle alongside you, <player>! But of course they do! They’re lucky enough to battle with a Trainer who knows just how to draw out the best of them! That’s it. I’m gonna be sure to draw out even more of my own team members from now on, too!"''

* After being defeated
:''"The strong desire to win! That’s the trigger that makes you accumulate new skills and transform experience into strength! And you and your team—you’ve got a real great desire to win, don’t you!

==In the anime==
[[File:Leon anime.png|250px|thumb|Leon in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===In the main series===
Leon debuted in [[SS012]], where he had a bout against [[Lance]] in the finals of the [[World Championships|Pokémon World Championships]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]], using his {{p|Charizard}} to go up against [[Red Gyarados|Lance's Gyarados]]. After a hard-fought battle, Leon emerged victorious, making him the World Champion.

Leon reappeared in [[SS013]], where he heard a commotion outside the stadium and went to see what was happening. He saw {{Ash}} battling a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Drednaw}} with his {{AP|Pikachu}} and noticed that it had Gigantamaxed without a [[Dynamax Band]]. He gave Ash advice that allowed him to defeat Drednaw before properly introducing himself to them. The next day, Leon approached Ash and {{an|Go}} at the [[Wyndon]] [[Pokémon Center]] and accepted Ash's earlier request for a battle. Beforehand, Leon gave Ash an explanation of how [[Dynamax]]ing and [[G-Max Move]]s worked and gave him his own Dynamax Band. During the battle, both sides Gigantamaxed their Pokémon, with Pikachu even managing to land a couple hits on Charizard, but in the end, Pikachu was defeated. Ash and Leon then promised to each other that once Ash was strong enough, they would battle again.

Leon debuted in the {{chap|Sword & Shield}}. He was first seen on the outskirts of [[Wedgehurst]], trying to move a flock of {{p|Wooloo}} off of some train tracks.

After introducing himself to the children, Leon headed off to [[Motostoke]] to appear on a television program, only to get lost on the way there.

Later, it was revealed that Leon had decided to [[endorsement|endorse]] the two Trainers for the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] thanks to this experience, just like they had hoped he would. The [[Gym Leader]]s of Galar were surprised by this decision, as Leon had never endorsed two Trainers at the same time before.

When the player enters the area before the match that [[Chairman Rose|Rose]] soon interrupts, the regular Wyndon Stadium logo is displayed instead.
* Leon is the second character ([[Professor Oak#Unused teams|outside of cut content]]) who is neither a [[rival]] nor a [[player character]] as an NPC whose team can change depending on the [[starter Pokémon]] chosen by the player, with the other being [[Professor Kukui]].

A '''Kimono Girl''' (Japanese: '''まいこはん''' ''{{wp|Maiko|Dancing Girl}}'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation II]] games. They appear as young women dressed in {{wp|kimonos}}.

Kimono Girls usually appear as a set of five Trainers who each own one of {{p|Eevee}}'s [[evolution]]s.

==In the games==
===Generation II===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, five Kimono Girls live in [[Ecruteak City]], and can be battled at the Ecruteak Dance Theater. Each owns one of the five [[Eeveelution]]s available in [[Generation II]].

===Generation IV===
[[File:Kimono Girls Tin Tower.png|thumb|250px|Atop the [[Bell Tower]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon HeartGold}}]]
[[File:Summoning Lugia.png|thumb|250px|Inside the [[Whirl Islands]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon SoulSilver}}]]
Much like other [[Generation II]] characters, the Kimono Girls made an appearance in the remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Instead of being restricted to their dance theater in [[Ecruteak City]] however, they will appear elsewhere, such as in [[Violet City]] (Zuki), [[Ilex Forest]] (Naoko), and the [[Ice Path]] (Sayo). A {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} appears in their theater in Ecruteak, where the player battles him after he harasses Miki about her dance routine. Kuni is briefly met during the Radio Tower incident, in the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]].

In order to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} in HeartGold and {{p|Lugia}} in SoulSilver, which is required before facing the [[Elite Four]], players must earn all eight Badges and, after receiving the [[Master Ball]] from [[Professor Elm]], battle all five Kimono Girls consecutively in the Dance Theater to obtain the [[Clear Bell]]{{sup/4|HG}} or [[Tidal Bell]]{{sup/4|SS}}.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the girls' respective [[Eeveelution]]s were swapped; only Zuki and Kuni's partners remained the same from Generation II. Additionally, Kuni's Japanese name, Sumomo, was altered to '''Komomo''', probably to avoid confusion with [[Maylene]], whose Japanese name is also Sumomo.

:''"Me oh my… That {{pkmn|Egg}} must be…"''
:''"I see… So it was handed from [[Mr. Pokémon]] to [[Professor Elm]], then from Professor Elm to you. Now I get it…"''
:''"That Egg truly is an important Egg. Please do take good care of it for me. Is that understood?"''
:''"I am counting on you."''

;{{DL|Ecruteak City|Kimono Dance Theater}}
* Before battle
:''"Welcome. My name is Zuki. I met you previously in Violet City. In order to bring back <sc>{{p|Ho-Oh}}</sc>{{sup/4|HG}}/<sc>{{p|Lugia}}</sc>{{sup/4|SS}}, we needed someone with the right bond with Pokémon. We asked Mr. Pokémon to give this Mystery Egg to whoever showed true potential. The Egg was eventually handed from Mr Pokémon to Professor Elm, and then to you. However, being pure alone will not be sufficient to face the power of this Pokémon. I must test you. Are you ready?"''
::'''No''': ''"That is fine… I will wait for you to get ready."''

[[File:Kimono Girls anime.png|thumb|250px|The Kimono Girls in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]
====History====
=====[[Original series]]=====
The Kimono Girls were called the ''Kimono Sisters'' in the [[original series]]. The dub retained their original Japanese names instead of using their localized English names.

In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', after {{Ash}} [[Ecruteak Gym]] victory, the gang bumped into [[Sakura]], who took them to the tea ceremony her sisters were running after {{an|Misty}} inquired about a nearby advertising poster. Sumomo was the first sister the group met, greeting them formally. Tamao was seen next, demonstrating {{wp|ikebana}} to a small audience. Later, they passed by the lone Koume playing her {{wp|shamisen}}. Finally, they were treated to a quiet display of the art of {{wp|Japanese tea ceremony|tea making and drinking}} by Satsuki. Needless to say, Brock was entranced by them all and grew frightened when they were all together and called him out on his praise.

The sisters are skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}}s as well as tradition keepers. Upon proposing a challenge to the trio to battle for Sakura to join them, Sumomo and Satsuki both displayed their {{p|Vaporeon}}'s and {{p|Jolteon}}'s abilities against [[Misty's Poliwhirl]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]] respectively. Vaporeon defeated Poliwhirl and Pikachu won against Jolteon, but the latter only after {{TRT}}'s interruption.

When Sakura changed her mind about leaving at that time, Satsuki admitted that she and the other three weren't against Sakura leaving to begin her journey, only that they wanted her to not be dependent on others if she finally did.

In ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', the four elder sisters attended a lucrative Pokémon Dance Academy class. However, the academy was another one of Team Rocket's schemes, and the Kimono sisters ended up handing over their Pokémon in exchange for private dancing lessons when they were actually stolen. With the help of Sakura's Eevee, now an {{p|Espeon}}, the other four [[Eeveelution]]s were rescued, and the episode ended with the sisters wishing Sakura well on her own journey.

====={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', the Kimono Girls made a cameo in {{an|Lyra}}'s video about [[Johto]] during the [[Johto Festival]].

====Character====
All of the sisters are sincere and polite. Satsuki is the oldest among the sisters and appears to do most of the talking, while Koume appears to be the most withdrawn and shy. The sisters are well-versed in many of the ancient arts like the {{wp|Japanese tea ceremony|tea ceremony}} and {{wp|ikebana}} flower arrangements, and they continue to train themselves in these traditions.

They unintentionally excluded the youngest sister [[Sakura]] from many of their activities, namely because they deemed her to be immature and poorly trained. When Sakura revealed she wanted to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]] in ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', they were initially doubtful of Sakura's commitments to her goal, but she gained their respect by the end of ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]''.

===In Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Kimono Girl PG.png|thumb|250px|Kimono Girl in Pokémon Generations]]
A Kimono Girl made a brief appearance in a flashback in ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]''. She was one of the citizens of [[Ecruteak City]] during the time when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] was struck by lightning. She wept as the flames that engulfed the Brass Tower killed three nameless Pokémon, which would later be revived by {{p|Ho-Oh}} as the [[Legendary beasts]].
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Kimono Girls Adventures.png|thumb|right|200px|Kimono Girls in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
===={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}====
A Kimono Girl was first seen in ''[[PS039|Just a Spearow Carrier]]'' as one of the Trainers waiting in line for the Indigo League.

===={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
All five Kimono Girls made an appearance in ''[[PS448|Pleased as Punch With Parasect]]'', when {{adv|Gold}} decided to visit them in Ecruteak after finishing up at the [[Pokéathlon]]. Gold spent his time watching them perform, which annoyed the [[Radio Director]] of {{ci|Goldenrod}}. However, Gold revealed that he was actually allowing time for [[Aibo]] to train, who was trying to learn {{m|Double Hit}}. When he finally did, Aibo evolved into {{p|Ambipom}}, winning the praise of the Kimono Girls. By the end of the arc, they had added a {{p|Leafeon}} and a {{p|Glaceon}} to their team.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
The Kimono Girls made a small cameo in ''[[GB11|Gold and Black VS Team Rocket]]''. {{GnB|Gold}} and [[Whitney]] were greeted by the Kimono Girls when they arrived in [[Ecruteak City]] for the [[Pokémon Summit]].

===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure manga===
A Kimono Girl appeared in [[JBA3]].

==Trivia==
* For an unknown reason, the Kimono Girls were given different but still Japanese names in the English versions. The French localization also followed suit, but were renamed to their original Japanese names in Generation IV with the exception of Koume, who was referred to as Umeko instead.
* In the French and German localizations of {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the name Keiko was used for different Kimono Girls.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, when the Kimono Girls are summoning the [[Legendary Pokémon]], they dance clockwise for Ho-Oh and counter-clockwise for Lugia.
* [[Bill]]'s mother was once a Kimono Girl, according to {{tc|Poké Maniac}} Brent, who reveals trivia about Bill via [[Pokégear]].
* Both of the anime episodes which featured all of the Kimono Sisters had [[Masaaki Iwane]] as animation director.
* In the anime episode ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', the four elder sisters' fans match the elemental themes of their Pokémon.
* The はん ''han'' in the Japanese name of the Trainer class is an equivalent of the honorific さん ''san'' in the Kansai dialect.
* The Kimono Girls dress in traditional Maiko attire.
* In [[Pokémon GO]], since the Generation II update, if an Eevee is [[nickname]]d after Tamao or Sakura, it is [[List of cross-canon references|guaranteed]] to evolve into that Kimono Sister's respective Eeveelution, while usually the form Eevee evolves into is random outside of select conditions.

'''Professor Elm''' (Japanese: '''ウツギ博士''' ''Dr. Utsugi'') is the resident [[Pokémon Professor]] of [[New Bark Town]] in the [[Johto]] region. Saying so himself, Professor Elm studies unusual Pokémon {{Abilities}}. He also specializes in [[Pokémon breeding]], and is credited with the discovery of [[Pokémon Egg]]s. According to [[Professor Oak]], in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Professor Elm "is the best when it comes to the research of [[Evolution|Pokémon evolution]]."

Elm gives one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] of Johto—{{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}}—to {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}{{sup/2|C}}, or {{ga|Lyra}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} so that they will have an easier time getting to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house.

==In the games==
Professor Elm works at his Laboratory in [[New Bark Town]] with his aide. He lives in a small house near his laboratory with his wife and son, who wants to grow up to be a [[Pokémon Professor]] like his dad. Elm is known for being a little scatterbrained and disorganized when he gets wrapped up with his research; according to his wife, Elm also sometimes forgets to eat when he's caught up in research. He holds [[Professor Oak]] in high regards. At the start of Pokémon [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]]. he gives the {{player}} his or her first [[starter Pokémon]].

After successfully hatching the {{pkmn|Egg}} containing {{p|Togepi}}, he gives the player an [[Everstone]].

After obtaining all eight [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s, Elm gives the player a [[Master Ball]]; after defeating the [[Elite Four]], he gives the player a [[S.S. Ticket|ticket]] to the [[S.S. Aqua]], allowing them to travel to [[Kanto]].

But walking with Pokémon must have some advantages. It could have something to do with how Pokémon grow or evolve... So I'm going to give you a Pokémon!

[[File:Professor Elm anime.png|250px|left|thumb|Professor Elm in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Professor Elm was one of {{an|Professor Oak}}'s top students at a university. He currently specializes in the research of {{Abilities}} and has interests in the origins of life.

Professor Elm debuted in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]''. {{TRT}} infiltrated his laboratory at [[New Bark Town]], and while he was studying a rare cell division through a microscope, the trio took off with a {{p|Totodile}} reserved for a new {{pkmn|Trainer}}. [[Officer Jenny]], {{Ash}}, and {{ashfr}} later battled Team Rocket and managed to return Totodile to Elm's lab.

After a period of traveling, the group encountered Elm again in ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'' while he was studying the origins of life in the [[Whirl Islands]] with [[Captain Marius]]. Elm helped rescue the group from the surrounding whirlpools with his newly-{{pkmn2|caught}} {{p|Corsola}}. Together, they docked at the [[Blue Point Isle]], where Elm informed them about the upcoming [[Whirl Cup]] tournament. Later, Elm and Corsola saved a group of Pokémon from being stolen by Team Rocket. Elm and [[Captain Marius]] then left the group to continue their research elsewhere.

In ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]'', Elm contacted Ash to congratulate him on getting eight [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s. He then sent him on an errand to retrieve an {{pkmn|Egg}} from the nearby [[Marine Pokémon Laboratory]]. As the head of the Pokémon Preservation Council, Elm had received news of the Egg after it had been poached from [[Mt. Silver]]. Ash and his friends obtained the Egg from [[Naomi]] and went on their way towards New Bark Town.

The Egg hatched in ''[[EP258|Hatch Me If You Can]]'', and the group contacted Elm after the baby {{AP|Larvitar}} was seemingly unresponsive to [[Nurse Joy]]'s treatment. Elm interrupted his dinner with Oak and {{Delia}}, who were visiting him to wish Ash well before the [[Silver Conference]], and rushed over to Ash's location to see Larvitar. The two Professors managed to stabilize Larvitar's body temperature, but it was still unresponsive. Later, as Ash fought Team Rocket, Larvitar overcame its unresponsive state to send them blasting off. Afterwards, Elm drove everyone to New Bark Town and entrusted Ash and his friends with the task of returning Larvitar to its home at Mt. Silver. In ''[[EP262|You're a Star, Larvitar!]]'', Elm checked in with the group and heard that Larvitar was doing well. [[EP264|Eventually]], Ash and his friends would return Larvitar to its mother {{p|Tyranitar}}.

In ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'', Elm was seen watching the [[Silver Conference]] on TV. Later, Ash happened to overhear [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s video call with Elm in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'' and spoke with him briefly. Elm officially thanked Ash and his friends for their help and informed them on Larvitar's well-being.

Elm made a brief cameo in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', after [[Dr. Yung]] revealed he had hacked the computer data of leading specialists, including that of Elm, to help with the construction of his [[Mirage Pokémon]] system.

===Character===
Professor Elm is regarded as sweet and kindhearted by many, including [[New Bark Town]]'s [[Nurse Joy]]. While he is incredibly knowledgeable, he is known to get into heated arguments with others over research and theories. He also tends to go into unnecessarily lengthy explanations whenever he is asked a question.

In addition, Elm can be incredibly absentminded. He has a habit of getting wrapped up in his research, to the point where he is completely oblivious to his surroundings, and he may not leave his laboratory for days.

Later, when Team Rocket had stolen a couple of Pokémon, Corsola jumped into the water to stop them. It tried to use Tackle, but {{TP|James|Weezing}} struck back. Corsola dodged and defeated [[Jessie's Arbok]]. It then used Spike Cannon and sent Team Rocket blasting off.

====History====
====={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Professor Elm was initially to be brought several Pokémon by [[Joey]] from [[Professor Oak]], but before that happened, the Totodile that he was studying was stolen, and he was knocked unconscious before he could do anything. Gold then arrived and took Cyndaquil as well to catch the thief.

After Gold first battled with the [[Masked Man]] at the [[Ilex Forest]] and lost, Elm was able to get a sample of his clothing and found particles on them, but he did not know what they were. Elm then contacted Gold when he was battling the Masked Man for a second time, informing him that the particles on the clothes are the same substance used for Gym Badges, and that the Masked Man must be a Gym Leader. He tells Gold that he should not try to fight him, but Gold simply replies with, "It's too late."

A while beforehand, he decided that Gold was trustworthy enough to try to hatch an Egg for him, saying that it had not moved an inch while it was in the lab. While the Egg did hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}, due to Gold's habits of visiting arcades while it was an Egg, it learned how to play dice, pool, and poker, making Elm furious about how Gold had turned it into a delinquent. Little did he know, with Togepi's aggression came Gold's innate talent for bringing the fullest potential of baby Pokémon, allowing it to easily defeat the wild {{p|Gligar}} that tried to eat it right before it hatched (and the {{p|Tyranitar}} that {{adv|Silver}} borrowed from [[Lance]]).

Joey stays behind with him to help Elm with chores and research.

====={{chap|Emerald}}=====
In ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', he makes a cameo appearance in one of the ships heading to the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

====={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}=====

He even introduces them to {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}. Unlike other media, he was not seen giving away the Johto starters to new Trainers yet. In ''[[PM063|Marill's Special Training to Surpass Pikachu!!]]'', he was seen fighting Professor Oak after a {{p|Marill}} came by and stole some food.

Professor Elm reappears in [[PMHGSS01]], where he is in charge of the [[Pokéathlon]]. and has competed with Red in various events that went on. Elm reappears again in [[PMHGSS20]] along with the other professors. They were the judge of {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}'s fight with {{p|Giratina}}. After their battle, Professor Elm got into a brawl with the other professors that was started by Clefairy. After watching the fight that was recorded, they worked together and fought Clefairy.

==Trivia==
* Professor Elm is the only {{pkmn|Professor}} in the [[core series]] that does not welcome the player to the {{pkmn|world|world of Pokémon}} at the start of the game. [[Professor Oak]] takes his place instead.
** As such, he is also the only Professor without a large in-game sprite, having only the overworld sprite.
* Professor Elm is also the only Professor to give the [[player character]] a [[starter Pokémon]] that does not also give them a [[Pokédex]].
* In the games, one of the townsfolk mentions that Professor Elm is the one who discovered that {{p|Pikachu}} is an evolved Pokémon ({{p|Pichu}} was only introduced in [[Generation II]]).
* In the anime, Professor Elm is the only core series professor that did not give a starter Pokémon to a main character.

A '''Kimono Girl''' (Japanese: '''まいこはん''' ''{{wp|Maiko|Dancing Girl}}'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation II]] games. They appear as young women dressed in {{wp|kimonos}}.

Kimono Girls usually appear as a set of five Trainers who each own one of {{p|Eevee}}'s [[evolution]]s.

==In the games==
===Generation II===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, five Kimono Girls live in [[Ecruteak City]], and can be battled at the Ecruteak Dance Theater. Each owns one of the five [[Eeveelution]]s available in [[Generation II]].

===Generation IV===
[[File:Kimono Girls Tin Tower.png|thumb|250px|Atop the [[Bell Tower]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon HeartGold}}]]
[[File:Summoning Lugia.png|thumb|250px|Inside the [[Whirl Islands]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon SoulSilver}}]]
Much like other [[Generation II]] characters, the Kimono Girls made an appearance in the remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Instead of being restricted to their dance theater in [[Ecruteak City]] however, they will appear elsewhere, such as in [[Violet City]] (Zuki), [[Ilex Forest]] (Naoko), and the [[Ice Path]] (Sayo). A {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} appears in their theater in Ecruteak, where the player battles him after he harasses Miki about her dance routine. Kuni is briefly met during the Radio Tower incident, in the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]].

In order to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} in HeartGold and {{p|Lugia}} in SoulSilver, which is required before facing the [[Elite Four]], players must earn all eight Badges and, after receiving the [[Master Ball]] from [[Professor Elm]], battle all five Kimono Girls consecutively in the Dance Theater to obtain the [[Clear Bell]]{{sup/4|HG}} or [[Tidal Bell]]{{sup/4|SS}}.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the girls' respective [[Eeveelution]]s were swapped; only Zuki and Kuni's partners remained the same from Generation II. Additionally, Kuni's Japanese name, Sumomo, was altered to '''Komomo''', probably to avoid confusion with [[Maylene]], whose Japanese name is also Sumomo.

'''Zuki'''
;[[Violet City]]
:''"Me oh my… That {{pkmn|Egg}} must be…"''
:''"I see… So it was handed from [[Mr. Pokémon]] to [[Professor Elm]], then from Professor Elm to you. Now I get it…"''
:''"That Egg truly is an important Egg. Please do take good care of it for me. Is that understood?"''
:''"I am counting on you."''

;{{DL|Ecruteak City|Kimono Dance Theater}}
* Before battle
:''"Welcome. My name is Zuki. I met you previously in Violet City. In order to bring back <sc>{{p|Ho-Oh}}</sc>{{sup/4|HG}}/<sc>{{p|Lugia}}</sc>{{sup/4|SS}}, we needed someone with the right bond with Pokémon. We asked Mr. Pokémon to give this Mystery Egg to whoever showed true potential. The Egg was eventually handed from Mr Pokémon to Professor Elm, and then to you. However, being pure alone will not be sufficient to face the power of this Pokémon. I must test you. Are you ready?"''
::'''No''': ''"That is fine… I will wait for you to get ready."''
::'''Yes''': ''"I will test how closely you've bonded with your Pokémon!"''

* Being defeated
:''"I don't have any Pokémon left."''

* After summoning Ho-Oh
:''"That IS indeed <sc>Ho-Oh</sc>… The guardian of the sky around here from ancient times… So many have tried and tried, only to fail… <player>, your heart and the Clear Bell in harmony have finally made it appear…"''
:''"<player>, don't you see? <sc>Ho-Oh</sc> must have been waiting for someone like you all this time. Wouldn't you agree…?"''

* If the player has not battled Ho-Oh
:''"This is all we can do for you… What you do now is entirely up to you…"

[[File:Kimono Girls anime.png|thumb|250px|The Kimono Girls in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]
====History====
=====[[Original series]]=====
The Kimono Girls were called the ''Kimono Sisters'' in the [[original series]]. The dub retained their original Japanese names instead of using their localized English names.

In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', after {{Ash}} [[Ecruteak Gym]] victory, the gang bumped into [[Sakura]], who took them to the tea ceremony her sisters were running after {{an|Misty}} inquired about a nearby advertising poster. Sumomo was the first sister the group met, greeting them formally. Tamao was seen next, demonstrating {{wp|ikebana}} to a small audience. Later, they passed by the lone Koume playing her {{wp|shamisen}}. Finally, they were treated to a quiet display of the art of {{wp|Japanese tea ceremony|tea making and drinking}} by Satsuki. Needless to say, Brock was entranced by them all and grew frightened when they were all together and called him out on his praise.

The sisters are skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}}s as well as tradition keepers. Upon proposing a challenge to the trio to battle for Sakura to join them, Sumomo and Satsuki both displayed their {{p|Vaporeon}}'s and {{p|Jolteon}}'s abilities against [[Misty's Poliwhirl]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]] respectively. Vaporeon defeated Poliwhirl and Pikachu won against Jolteon, but the latter only after {{TRT}}'s interruption.

When Sakura changed her mind about leaving at that time, Satsuki admitted that she and the other three weren't against Sakura leaving to begin her journey, only that they wanted her to not be dependent on others if she finally did.

In ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', the four elder sisters attended a lucrative Pokémon Dance Academy class. However, the academy was another one of Team Rocket's schemes, and the Kimono sisters ended up handing over their Pokémon in exchange for private dancing lessons when they were actually stolen. With the help of Sakura's Eevee, now an {{p|Espeon}}, the other four [[Eeveelution]]s were rescued, and the episode ended with the sisters wishing Sakura well on her own journey.

====={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', the Kimono Girls made a cameo in {{an|Lyra}}'s video about [[Johto]] during the [[Johto Festival]].

====Character====
All of the sisters are sincere and polite. Satsuki is the oldest among the sisters and appears to do most of the talking, while Koume appears to be the most withdrawn and shy. The sisters are well-versed in many of the ancient arts like the {{wp|Japanese tea ceremony|tea ceremony}} and {{wp|ikebana}} flower arrangements, and they continue to train themselves in these traditions.

They unintentionally excluded the youngest sister [[Sakura]] from many of their activities, namely because they deemed her to be immature and poorly trained. When Sakura revealed she wanted to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]] in ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', they were initially doubtful of Sakura's commitments to her goal, but she gained their respect by the end of ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]''.

===In Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Kimono Girl PG.png|thumb|250px|Kimono Girl in Pokémon Generations]]
A Kimono Girl made a brief appearance in a flashback in ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]''. She was one of the citizens of [[Ecruteak City]] during the time when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] was struck by lightning. She wept as the flames that engulfed the Brass Tower killed three nameless Pokémon, which would later be revived by {{p|Ho-Oh}} as the [[Legendary beasts]].
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Kimono Girls Adventures.png|thumb|right|200px|Kimono Girls in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
===={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}====
A Kimono Girl was first seen in ''[[PS039|Just a Spearow Carrier]]'' as one of the Trainers waiting in line for the Indigo League.

===={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
All five Kimono Girls made an appearance in ''[[PS448|Pleased as Punch With Parasect]]'', when {{adv|Gold}} decided to visit them in Ecruteak after finishing up at the [[Pokéathlon]]. Gold spent his time watching them perform, which annoyed the [[Radio Director]] of {{ci|Goldenrod}}. However, Gold revealed that he was actually allowing time for [[Aibo]] to train, who was trying to learn {{m|Double Hit}}. When he finally did, Aibo evolved into {{p|Ambipom}}, winning the praise of the Kimono Girls. By the end of the arc, they had added a {{p|Leafeon}} and a {{p|Glaceon}} to their team.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
The Kimono Girls made a small cameo in ''[[GB11|Gold and Black VS Team Rocket]]''. {{GnB|Gold}} and [[Whitney]] were greeted by the Kimono Girls when they arrived in [[Ecruteak City]] for the [[Pokémon Summit]].

===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure manga===
A Kimono Girl appeared in [[JBA3]].

==Trivia==
* For an unknown reason, the Kimono Girls were given different but still Japanese names in the English versions. The French localization also followed suit, but were renamed to their original Japanese names in Generation IV with the exception of Koume, who was referred to as Umeko instead.
* In the French and German localizations of {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the name Keiko was used for different Kimono Girls.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, when the Kimono Girls are summoning the [[Legendary Pokémon]], they dance clockwise for Ho-Oh and counter-clockwise for Lugia.
* [[Bill]]'s mother was once a Kimono Girl, according to {{tc|Poké Maniac}} Brent, who reveals trivia about Bill via [[Pokégear]].
* Both of the anime episodes which featured all of the Kimono Sisters had [[Masaaki Iwane]] as animation director.
* In the anime episode ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', the four elder sisters' fans match the elemental themes of their Pokémon.
* The はん ''han'' in the Japanese name of the Trainer class is an equivalent of the honorific さん ''san'' in the Kansai dialect.
* The Kimono Girls dress in traditional Maiko attire.
* In [[Pokémon GO]], since the Generation II update, if an Eevee is [[nickname]]d after Tamao or Sakura, it is [[List of cross-canon references|guaranteed]] to evolve into that Kimono Sister's respective Eeveelution, while usually the form Eevee evolves into is random outside of select conditions.

'''Silver''' (Japanese: '''シルバー''' ''Silver'') is the [[rival]] character of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, playing opposite {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}}. He is the son of [[Team Rocket]] Boss [[Giovanni]].

During the first {{pkmn|battle}} against him in HeartGold and SoulSilver, he is given the unique {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Passerby''' (Japanese: '''とおりすがり''' ''Passerby'') with the placeholder name '''Boy''' (Japanese: '''しょうねん''' ''Boy'').

==In the games==
Silver first appears in the [[Generation II]] games, lurking outside of [[Professor Elm]]'s lab, looking through the window. When talked to, he will deny everything and push the player away. During the player's journey to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house, Silver makes his move, stealing one of Elm's two remaining [[starter Pokémon]] (coincidentally always the one that is strong against the player's choice). He will meet with the player on the outskirts of [[Cherrygrove City]], battling to get through. A policeman will later ask for the name of the rival, and the rival will be called the name the player gives for the rest of the game.

Silver shows a strong dislike of [[Team Rocket]]. He considers them to be weak, and vows to take them, as well as any other weak Trainer, down. He steals a Pokémon from a Trainer in [[Cianwood City]] and while {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} attempts to take down Team Rocket in [[Mahogany Town]] and [[Goldenrod City]], he interferes to prove himself. It is in the Mahogany hideout that he meets with [[Lance]], {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]]. Silver challenges Lance and is easily defeated by the dragon Trainer, who then proceeds to berate Silver for his callous ways towards training Pokémon. Though Silver is outraged for losing to someone with such an attitude, the loss and Lance's words ultimately set him on the path to becoming a better person. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when Team Rocket takes over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], Silver first blows the player's Team Rocket disguise, unaware of the player's plan to sneak in by pretending to be a member of Team Rocket. He later follows the player to the Goldenrod underground and they battle Team Rocket, hoping that Lance will reappear and he can request a rematch.

By the time the player reaches {{ka|Victory Road}}, Silver battles against the player not out of malice, but to prove that he is a good Trainer. He is defeated and departs to continue training. The player battles Silver on [[Mt. Moon]], and though he loses he claims he can feel his Pokémon getting stronger, and resolves to train at [[Dragon's Den]].

After the player has become {{pkmn|Champion}}, Silver can indeed be found training in the Dragon's Den on Tuesday and Thursday, where he cannot be battled. On Monday and Wednesday, he will appear at [[Indigo Plateau]] and will challenge the player to a battle if they appear there. He does not appear at all on Friday or the weekends, indicating that he may in fact take the day off, resting his Pokémon. When battled this seventh and final time at Indigo Plateau, Silver seems to have finally learned to care for his Pokémon properly, as his {{p|Golbat}} has evolved to {{p|Crobat}}, which only occurs when Golbat is very [[friendship|friendly]]. This is further expressed in Generation IV when his [[starter Pokémon]] starts to [[Walking Pokémon|follow him around]], much like the player's Pokémon; Professor Elm even expressly states that Silver's Pokémon have come to trust him when Silver returns to the lab, presumably to return the starter he stole. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Lance and [[Clair]] will appear in the Dragon's Den and challenge the player and Silver to a [[Multi Battle]] following the battle at [[Mt. Moon]] giving him the chance to avenge his loss from earlier.

In terms of personality, Silver is initially the darkest of the rivals in the series. While most other rivals are generally good-natured, or at least zestful enough to crack a joke at the player, Silver is (at first) cruel, hateful, power-obsessed and even physically abusive, pushing the {{player}} character around several times. Even after he starts to become kinder, he remains a rather serious individual. He does, however, express genuine happiness when Elm allows him to keep the Pokémon he stole.

Giovanni and Silver's relationship is first alluded to in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, when Team Rocket {{tc|Scientist}} [[Gideon]] at the [[Rocket Warehouse]] on [[Five Island]] asks Red if he is "Giovanni's kid" but concludes he is not, saying that "Giovanni's kid has red hair." More information is revealed in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver when a [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Celebi}} is brought to [[Ilex Forest shrine]]: Celebi takes the player back in time three years to witness Giovanni abandoning Silver to go into seclusion because of his defeat at the hands of {{ga|Red}}. Silver's hate for Team Rocket apparently stems from the failure of his father.

Silver also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], where he's simply called "Rival". He can be battled in [[White City]] once the player has cleared every [[Stadium Mode]] and the [[Gym Leader Castle]], acting as the final opponent of the game. His [[party]] consists of three [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|with a base stat total of 680}}, which the player is allowed to face with a full party of six Pokémon. Defeating Silver ends the game, and, in Round 1, also unlocks Round 2.

===Pokémon===
The [[starter Pokémon]] that Silver has will depend on which Pokémon the player chose to bring on Professor Elm's errand at the beginning of the game. As with most [[rival]]s, it will be the Pokémon whose type weakens that of the player's starter.

:''"…… So this is the famous <sc>Elm Pokémon Lab</sc> …… What are {{player|you}} staring at?

;[[Cherrygrove City]]
* Before battle
:''"…… {{tt|…… ……|Crystal only}} You got a <sc>Pokémon</sc> at the <sc>Lab</sc>. What a waste. A wimp like you. …… {{tt|…… ……|Crystal only}} Don't you get what I'm saying? Well, I too, have a good <sc>Pokémon</sc>. I'll show you what I mean!"''

* Being defeated
:''"Humph. Are you happy you won?"''

* If the player is {{tt|defeated|No white out}}
:''"Humph. That was a waste of time."''

* After the battle
:''"…… {{tt|…… ……|Crystal only}} My name's ???. I'm going to be the world's greatest <sc>Pokémon</sc> trainer."''

;[[Sprout Tower]]
:''"… …Humph! He claims to be the <sc>[[Li|Elder]]</sc> but he's weak. It stands to reason. I'd never lose to fools who babble about being nice to <sc>Pokémon</sc>. I only care about strong <sc>Pokémon</sc> that can win. I really couldn't care less about weak <sc>Pokémon</sc>.

;[[Azalea Town]]
* Before battle
:''"…Tell me something. Is it true that <sc>[[Team Rocket]]</sc> has returned? What? You beat them? Hah! Quit lying. You're not joking? Then let's see how good you are."''

* Being defeated
:''"… Humph! Useless <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Listen, you. You only won because my <sc>Pokémon</sc> were weak."''

* After being defeated
:''"I hate the weak. <sc>Pokémon</sc>, trainers. It doesn't matter who or what. I'm going to be strong and wipe out the weak. That goes for <sc>Team Rocket</sc> too. They act big and tough in a group. But get them alone, and they're weak. I hate them all. You stay out of my way. A weakling like you is only a distraction."''

'''[[Burned Tower]]'''
* Before battle
:''"…… …… …… …Oh, it's you. You wanted to get stronger, so you came for the [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary <sc>Pokémon</sc>]] that's supposed to be here. That's your story, right? Well, that's not going to happen. Because I'm going to get it! I'm going to be the world's greatest trainer, so a legendary <sc>Pokémon</sc> would be perfect for me. …Well, anyway. I'm getting tired of having a wimp like you always showing up."''{{sup/2|GS}}
:''"…… …… …… …Oh, it's you. I came looking for some legendary <sc>Pokémon</sc> that they say roosts here. But there's nothing here! Nothing after all the trouble of coming to this dump? No way! It's all your fault!"''{{sup/2|C}}

* Being defeated
:''"…Humph! This is why I hate battling wimps. There's no challenge in it."''

* After being defeated
:''"…Aw, whatever. You would never be able to catch a legendary <sc>Pokémon</sc> anyway."''{{sup/2|GSC}}
:''"Humph! What are you doing falling into a hole? Some genius you are! Serves you right!"''{{sup/2|C}}

;[[Olivine City]]
:''"… You again? There's no need to panic. I don't bother with wimps like you. Speaking of weaklings, [[Jasmine|the city's <sc>Gym Leader</sc>]] isn't here. Supposedly taking care of [[Amphy|a sick <sc>Pokémon</sc>]] at the <sc>{{FB|Glitter|Lighthouse}}</sc>. Humph! Boo-hoo! Just let sick <sc>Pokémon</sc> go! A <sc>Pokémon</sc> that can't battle is worthless! Why don't you go train at the <sc>Lighthouse</sc>? Who knows. It may make you a bit less weak!"''

;[[Team Rocket HQ]]
:''"… Didn't I tell you that I was going to destroy <sc>Team Rocket</sc>? …Tell me, who was the guy in the cape who used {{t|dragon}} <sc>Pokémon</sc>? My <sc>Pokémon</sc> were no match at all. I don't care that I lost. I can beat him by getting stronger <sc>Pokémon</sc>. It's what he said that bothers me… He told me that I don't love and trust my <sc>Pokémon</sc> enough. I'm furious that I lost to a bleeding heart like him. …Humph! I don't have the time for the likes of you!"''

;[[Goldenrod Tunnel|Goldenrod Underground]]
* Before battle
:''"Hold it! I saw you, so I tailed you. I don't need you underfoot while I take care of <sc>Team Rocket</sc>. …Wait a second. You beat me before, didn't you? That was just a fluke. But I repay my debts!"''

* Being defeated
:''"…Why… Why do I lose? I've assembled the toughest <sc>Pokémon</sc>. I didn't ease up on the gas. So why do I lose?"''

* After being defeated
:''"…I don't understand… Is what that <sc>[[Lance]]</sc> guy said true? That I don't treat <sc>Pokémon</sc> properly? Love… Trust… Are they really what I lack? Are they keeping me from winning? I… I just don't understand. But it's not going to end here. Not now. Not because of this. I won't give up my dream of becoming the world's best <sc>Pokémon</sc> trainer!"''

;{{ka|Victory Road}}
* Before battle
:''"Hold it. …Are you going to take the <sc>Pokémon League</sc> challenge? …Don't make me laugh. You're so much weaker than I am. I'm not like I was before. I now have the best and strongest <sc>Pokémon</sc> with me. I'm invincible! <player>! I challenge you!"''

* Being defeated
:''"…I couldn't win… I gave it everything I had… What you possess, and what I lack… I'm beginning to understand what that dragon master said to me…"''

* After being defeated
:''"…I haven't given up on becoming the greatest trainer… I'm going to find out why I can't win and become stronger…. When I do, I will challenge you. And I'll beat you down with all my power. …Humph! You keep at it until then."''

;[[Dragon's Den]]
* When first talked to
:''"… What? <player>? …No, I won't battle you now… My <sc>Pokémon</sc> aren't ready to beat you. I can't push them too hard now. I have to be disciplined to become the greatest <sc>Pokémon</sc> trainer…"''

* If talked to again
:''"… Whew… Learn to stay out of my way…"''

;[[Mt. Moon]]
* Before battle
:''"…… …… …… It's been a while, <player>. …Since I lost to you, I thought about what I was lacking with my <sc>Pokémon</sc>… And we came up with an answer. <player>, now we'll show you!"''

* Being defeated
:''"…… …… …… I thought I raised my <sc>Pokémon</sc> to be the best they could be… …But it still wasn't enough…"''

* After being defeated
:''"…… …… …… …You won, fair and square. I admit it. But this isn't the end. I'm going to be the greatest <sc>Pokémon</sc> Trainer ever. Because these guys are behind me. …Listen, <player>. One of these days I'm going to prove how good I am by beating you."''

;[[Indigo Plateau]]
* Before battle
:''"Hold it. You're going to take the <sc>Pokémon League</sc> challenge now? That's not going to happen. My super-well trained <sc>Pokémon</sc> are going to pound you. <player>! I challenge you!"''

* Being defeated
:''"… OK--I lost…"''

* After being defeated
:''"…Darn… I still can't win… I… I have to think more about my <sc>Pokémon</sc>… Humph! Try not to lose!"''

;[[New Bark Town]]
:''"… So this is the famous Elm Pokémon Lab… …What are {{player|you}} staring at?"''

;[[Cherrygrove City]]

:''"… You got a Pokémon at the Lab. What a waste. That's a Pokémon that's too good for a wimp like you. … Don't you get what I'm saying? Well, I too have a good Pokémon. I'll show you what I mean!"''

* Starter at critical health
:''"…Humph! You're doing OK for someone weak."''

* Being defeated
:''"…Humph! Are you happy you won?"''

* If the player is {{tt|defeated|No black out}}
:''"…Humph! That was a waste of time."''

:''"Give it back! That's my {{ga|Trainer Card}}! Oh no! You saw my name…"''

;[[Sprout Tower]]
:''"… …Humph! He calls himself the [[Li|Elder]], but he was no match for me. Sure enough, those who lecture how you should be "nice" to Pokémon… They cannot defeat me. All I care about are strong Pokémon that win every time. The rest of them don't mean anything to me."''

;[[Azalea Town]]
* Before battle
:''"…Tell me something. Is it true that [[Team Rocket]] has returned? What? You beat them? Hah! Quit lying. Are you serious? Then let's see how good you are."''

:''"Say, you've got a lot of nerve, coming here…"''

* Last Pokémon at critical health
:''"That's ridiculous. There's no way I could lose to a wimp like you!"''

* Being defeated
:''"… Humph! Useless Pokémon! Listen, you. You only won because my Pokémon were weak."''

* If the player is defeated
:''"I knew you were lying."''

* After being defeated
:''"I hate the weak. Pokémon, Trainers. It doesn't matter who or what. I hate to see them hanging around. That goes for Team Rocket, too. They think they are big and tough as long as they are in a group. But get them alone, and they're weak. I hate them all. You stay out of my way. You won't be an exception if you get in my way."''

;[[Burned Tower]]
* Before battle
:''"……………… ……Oh, it's you. You must be here to catch the [[legendary Pokémon]] to make yourself look strong. That is only a dream. You see, the legendary Pokémon suits a Trainer like me who has sworn to become the strongest Trainer. A battle with {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s is just right for you!"''

* Sending out last Pokémon
:''"Out of desperation, weak people sometimes do OK at fighting back."''

* Last Pokémon at critical health
:''"Don't you get that I'm going easy on you?"''

* Being defeated
:''"…Humph! I'm not fighting with another weakling ever again. It's just too much playing around."''

* After being defeated
:''"…Aw, whatever. You would never be able to catch a legendary Pokémon anyway."''

;[[Olivine City]]
:''"… You again? There's no need to be alert. I don't bother with wimps like you. Speaking of weaklings, [[Jasmine|the city's Gym Leader]] isn't here, and is supposedly taking care of [[Amphy|a sick Pokémon]] at the {{FB|Glitter|Lighthouse}}. Humph! Boo-hoo! Just let sick Pokémon go! A Pokémon that can't battle is worthless! Why don't you go train at the Lighthouse? Who knows? It may make you a bit of a better Trainer!"''

;[[Team Rocket HQ]]
:''"… So you are messing with them again. Humph, you must really like Team Rocket so much. … Tell me, who was the guy in the cape who used {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon? My Pokémon were no match at all. I don't care that I lost. I can beat him by getting stronger Pokémon. It's what he said that bothers me… He told me that I don't love and trust my Pokémon enough. I'm furious that I lost to a bleeding heart like him. …Humph! I don't have time for the likes of you!"''

;[[Goldenrod Radio Tower]]
* Before battling the Team Rocket Grunt
:''"Hey Team Rocket! Stop going around in groups and troubling people. You cowards! …Huh? Are you <player>? What are you doing here? No way… You think you're strong now that you look like them? That's foolish! You shouldn't wear those things!"''

* After battling the Team Rocket Grunt
:''"I see. You were trying to be sneaky… Huh! A typical idea of the meek! No matter. I'll let you handle this. I have to defeat the Dragon Tamer… What's his name…? [[Lance]]! After that… it will be your turn. Be ready for it!"''

;[[Goldenrod Tunnel]]
* Before battle
:''"Hold it! What I told you before was to deceive you. I thought it would let me tail you, and it would lead me to Lance. Well, he never showed up. …No matter. I was planning to beat you after Lance, but since you are here, I will repay my debts!"''

* Sending out last Pokémon
:''"Hey, hey! Why so serious?"''

* Last Pokémon at critical health
:''"No way…"''

* Being defeated
:''"…Why… Why do I lose? I've assembled the toughest Pokémon. I haven't eased up on the gas. So why do I lose?"''

* After being defeated
:''"…I don't understand. Is what that Lance guy said true? That I don't treat Pokémon properly? Love… Trust… Are they really what I lack? Are they keeping me from winning? I… I just don't understand. But it's not going to end here. Not now. Not because of this. I won't give up my dream of becoming the world's best Pokémon Trainer!"''

;[[Ecruteak City]]
:''"How…? How is this possible? How can I lose to mere [[Kimono Girl]]s…? You were watching me, <player>… Yeah, that's right! I never thought defeating five Kimono Girls would be so hard… I got beaten to a pulp… … You must have come here for the same reason, right? Don't get cocky just because you defeated Team Rocket! These Kimono Girls are insanely strong. Go ahead! See if you can defeat them. But I'm not going back. I don't want to see you win."''

;{{ka|Victory Road}}
* Before battle
:''"Hold it. …Are you going to challenge the Pokémon League? Victory Road is at its end, for sure. But did you notice…? You didn't see any real Trainers on the way, did you? Man, they were all spineless! Well, the fact that you have come this far means you're not one of them. But! Your journey ends here! Because… right here, right now… I will crush you!"''

* Sending out last Pokémon
:''"I see. Seems like it wasn't just luck that's gotten you this far."''

* Last Pokémon at critical health
:''"Humph! You were too strong…"''

* Being defeated
:''…I couldn't win… I gave it everything I had… What you possess and what I lack, I'm beginning to understand what that Dragon Tamer said to me…"''

* After being defeated
:''"……………… I haven't given up on becoming the greatest Trainer… I'm going to find out why I can't win and become stronger… When I do, I will challenge you. I'll beat you down with all my power. …Humph! You keep at it until then."''

;[[Mt. Moon]]
* Before battle
:''"Hey, <player>! You're here in [[Kanto]], too? Some of the Trainers here are tough, which makes it easy to train my Pokémon! <player>! I know you are strong… But… I can't help but challenge you!"''

* Sending out last Pokémon
:''"I see. You weren't coming to Kanto just to show off…"''

* Last Pokémon at critical health
:''"I see you weren't playing around, either…"''

* Being defeated
:''"Humph! I guess it can't be helped…"''

* If the player is defeated
:''"Hmm, seems my Pokémon are pretty good."''

* After being defeated
:''"My training's still not good enough…? My Pokémon are so weak, it makes me frustrated… But I can feel that they are getting better after each battle… ……………… Tch! They're still too weak! I need to give them more training… I know! I should take them to Dragon's Den! See ya, <player>!"''

;[[Dragon's Den]]
* Before the [[Multi Battle]] with [[Lance]] and [[Clair]]
:''"…What? Are you here to make fun of my training? Humph! I took my time coming all the way here, but the {{OBP|Master|Dragon Tamer clan}} won't tell me anything, and he's making a big deal out of it... So I decided to train my Pokémon here instead."''
:''"[[Lance|You]]! Where have you been all this time? Prepare to lose to me this time. I challenge you!"''
:''"Humph! You can't beat me one-on-one, can you?"''
:''"You must be kidding! [[Clair|That embarrassing one in the weird costume]] for me? No way I can battle with her! <player>! Come to my side! We'll beat Lance together!"''

* After the battle
:''"<player>... It wasn't supposed to go this way… Anyway, I am not giving up beating you! I'll train my Pokémon and...my own heart, too. I'll come back as the toughest challenge for you!"''

* If talked to again at a different day
:''"... Whew... Learn to stay out of the way..."''

;[[Indigo Plateau]]
* Before battle
:''"Hold it. You're going to take the Pokémon League challenge now? You'll have to give up on that. My well-trained-beyond-recognition Pokémon are going to pound you. Right now, right here! I challenge you!"''

* Sending out last Pokémon
:''"Why?! I've still got one left!"''

* Last Pokémon at critical health
:''"Do you think you've won already?"''

* Being defeated
:''"… OK. I lost…"''

* If the player is defeated
:''"… Whew… With my partners, I'm going to be the {{pkmn|Champion}}!"''

* After being defeated
:''"…Oh, no… I still can't win after all that training… I…I have to believe more in my Pokémon… …No big deal. Sorry to have got in the way. Don't forget to rest your Pokémon before you challenge the Champion!"''

;{{rt|22|Kanto}} ({{pkmn2|event}})
* Talking with [[Giovanni]]
:''"You told me… you were the number one in the world! Are you gonna quit? What are you going to do now?"''
:''"What aspect of you was number one? Gathering so many only to be defeated by {{ga|Red|a mere child}}!"''
:''"{{tt|I don't understand you! You don't make any sense!|In the Japanese version, Silver calls Giovanni ''dad'' at the end of this sentence, confirming their father-son relationship.}}"''

* Noticing the player and {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}}
:''"…What are you staring at?"''

====[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]====
* Before team selection
:''"I didn't think you'd make it this far. Come on! Let's settle this now!"''

* Before battle
:''"Yo! You finally got here! Now we'll decide things once and for all!"''
:''"You just get on my nerves! I'll whip you right now!"''
:''"There's room for only one <sc>Champ</sc>! I'll make you understand that!"''

==Counterparts==
===In the anime===
====In the main series====
[[File:Silver anime.png‎|thumb|250px|Silver in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Silver played no major role in the anime, despite being a main character in the games. His only appearance in the anime was a brief cameo, in the original Japanese opening of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' ([[A New Oath]]). In this opening, he was shown defeating {{jo|Jimmy}} with his {{p|Nidoking}}, only to be defeated later on when Jimmy's {{p|Cyndaquil}} fully evolved into {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}}.

While Silver did not appear in the main series, he was considered by much of the fandom to have a close counterpart in the character of [[Paul]], who was {{Ash}}'s main rival throughout the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Like Silver, Paul believed in raising the power of his Pokémon through harsh training as opposed to forming a trusting relationship, which put him at odds with Ash throughout the series. Also, Paul's official art shows him in the same pose as Silver does in one of his official artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]].

====In Pokémon Generations====
Silver appeared in ''[[PG05|The Legacy]]''. He was seen meeting up with [[Looker]] outside the [[Indigo Plateau]], discussing his relationship and last meeting with [[Giovanni]] that ultimately led to their estrangement. During the conversation, Silver asserts that he decided to stay out of his father's affairs, and he tells Looker that it is his job to find Giovanni before going off to face the [[Elite Four]].

===In the manga===
====In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga====
[[File:Silver HGSS Adventures 2.png|thumb|150px|Silver in Pokémon Adventures]]
{{main|Black (Golden Boys)}}
The character {{OBP|Black|Golden Boys}} who appears in [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] manga is based on Silver.

====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====
{{main|Silver (Adventures)}}
His counterpart in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga is also named {{adv|Silver}}. They share several similarities, such as stealing a starter from Professor Elm, in the manga's case, Totodile, owning a Sneasel, and being [[Giovanni]]'s son.

====In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure manga====
{{main|Tsubaki (JBA)}}
[[Tsubaki (JBA)]] from [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]] is based on him.

====In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga====
{{main|Silver (Pocket Monsters)}}
Silver has a counterpart in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga named {{OBP|Silver|Pocket Monsters}}.

==Trivia==
* A 1997 pamphlet describing {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} mentions that the [[rival]] character lives in the same town as {{ga|Ethan|the protagonist}}. This aspect of his character was apparently discarded by the time of the final release, as his hometown was not elaborated upon in the {{pkmn|games}} and it is implied to not be [[New Bark Town]] since he seems to be unfamiliar with [[Professor Elm]]'s lab at the beginning of the game.
* In [[Generation IV]], Silver is depicted with two different eye colors. His eyes are gray in his Generation IV artwork while they are red in the HeartGold and SoulSilver games, as seen in the opening animation.
* In the original Gold, Silver, and Crystal games, when battled at Indigo Plateau, the Champion theme is played instead of his rival theme.
* The English script of the {{p|Celebi}} event in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} never states that Silver is Giovanni's son, unlike the Japanese script.
* Silver has achieved a high score of 2000 at [[Pal Park]], which serves as the default high score.
* In the battle in the Goldenrod Tunnel in the remakes, his team when the player starts with Cyndaquil are all two levels lower than the same team he uses if the player were to start with another starter.
* In the original games, at level 16, Silver's Croconaw is underleveled in the second battle, when Totodile usually does not evolve into Croconaw until level 18. This is fixed in the remakes.
**His Haunter was also underleveled at level 20 in the third battle, when Gastly usually does not evolve until level 25. This is fixed in the remakes where instead his Haunter remains a Gastly.
* Silver is the only rival whose team does not change in accordance to his starter, nor does he have any types that cover for his starter's initial type.
* Art of Silver on [[Game Freak]]'s website depicts him with a {{p|Houndoom}}, despite not owning one within the games.
* In the Generation II [[core series]] games, Silver is the only Trainer who doesn't have a {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}.

==Names==
Silver is used as the official name for this character in Bandai's Pokémon Scale World collection.<ref>[https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/products/2020/1000140058.html "Pokémon Scale World - Johto: Silver & Croconaw & Sneasel" on Bandai] (Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://p-bandai.com/sg/item/N2511649001001 "Pokémon Scale World - Johto: Silver & Croconaw & Sneasel" on Bandai] (English)</ref><ref>[https://sg.portal-pokemon.com/goods/plush-toys/191114111230_premium_bandai_limited_edition_pokemon_scale_world_vol2_order_now.html "[PREMIUM BANDAI Limited Edition "Pokémon Scale World" Vol.2!! Order Now!!" on the official Pokémon website in Singapore] (English)]</ref> It is also his default name if the {{player}} provides a blank name for him in {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} and {{game|Crystal}}, although his default name differs on other games, which call him "Gold" (ゴールド ''Gold''){{sup/2|S}}, Soul (ソウル ''Soul''){{sup/4|HG}}, or "Heart" (Japanese: ハート ''Heart''){{sup/4|SS}}.

Until the reveal of his official name, "Silver" (Japanese: シルバー ''Silver'') was almost universally used in [[fanon]] as the name for this character. Some fans instead called him "Kamon" (Japanese: カモン ''Kamon'') to discern him from {{adv|Silver|his Pokémon Adventures counterpart}} and {{OBP|Silver|HS18|an unrelated anime character}}. This name is taken from the suggested names for {{ga|Ethan}} in both the Japanese and English versions of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}}; this is similar to some fans calling {{ga|Blue}} "{{Gary}}", since the name is found as one of the options for the {{player}} in international {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Blue|s}} and for the [[rival]] in international {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}.

'''Kiyo''' (Japanese: '''ノブヒコ''' ''Nobuhiko'') is a {{tc|Black Belt}} and the leader of the [[Fighting Dojo]]. His name was not revealed until [[Generation II]]. However, in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen}}, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he is named '''Koichi''' (Japanese: '''タケノリ''' ''Takenori'').

He is known as the '''Karate Master'''{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/7|PE}}/'''Karate King'''{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} (Japanese: '''カラテだいおう'''{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} / '''からてだいおう'''{{sup/7|PE}} ''Great Karate King'') and is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Karate Master''' (Japanese: '''からてだいおう''' ''Great {{tc|Black Belt|Karate King}}'').

==In the games==
Black Belt Kiyo is a leader of [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]]. At one point, Kiyo was the Gym Leader of Saffron City until his Gym lost official privileges as a result of a duel between himself and [[Sabrina]]. It has since become a place where he and his students train Karate. The {{player}} obtains a {{p|Hitmonlee}} or a {{p|Hitmonchan}} as a reward for beating Kiyo. Later, in [[Generation II]] and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]], he is found training at [[Mt. Mortar]]. To reach him, the player must travel through a lengthy maze section within the mountain. Upon defeating him, Kiyo will give the player a {{p|Tyrogue}} if there is an empty slot in the party. His Karate Gym in {{ci|Saffron}} is disbanded now, but one of Kiyo's students can still be found there.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Kiyo can be found in [[Lumiose City]], trying to start a new Fighting Dojo at a small apartment he has rented in Centrico Boulevard. His business doesn't seem to be running smoothly, however, as a {{tc|Battle Girl}} at the apartment tells that he's only getting new students signing up by telling them he's running a dance studio.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
Kiyo appeared as a [[character of the day]] in ''[[EP233|A Tyrogue Full of Trouble!]]''. He is a former student of [[Chuck]]'s and was in {{pkmn|training}} to compete in the [[P1 Grand Prix]]. Despite many protests from the nearby townspeople and concerns {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} had about it, he desired to earn the trust of an abandoned {{p|Tyrogue}}. Kiyo saved Tyrogue from a rockslide and later defeated him in hand-to-hand {{pkmn|battle}}, earning his respect. Tyrogue and his [[wild Pokémon]] friends then joined Kiyo's [[party|team]].

Despite the appearance of the [[Saffron City]] [[Fighting Dojo]] in ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista]]'', Kiyo was not shown in this episode and the leader was [[Master Hamm|another character]].

One day, Tyrogue leaped in to save [[Misty's Togepi]] from some rampaging {{p|Tauros}}. Later, it gave a trio of wild Pokémon some fruit to eat after noticing they were hungry. After [[Jessie]] stole fruit from a {{p|Sandshrew}}, Tyrogue attacked {{TRT}} and sent them blasting off.

Later, Kiyo battled Tyrogue with his Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, but both of his Pokémon were defeated. Kiyo then battled Tyrogue himself and won, earning Tyrogue's respect in the process. He gave Tyrogue a new red neckerchief, made from his own armband, to commemorate the new friendship.

Kiyo appeared in ''[[PM097|The Mysterious Underground Amusement Park]]''. When the roller-coaster {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and the gang rode on was separated, Red ended up in an underground area containing an abandoned amusement park. As Red was about to leave, Kiyo revealed himself along with his {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}. He told them to stay and to try out his underground amusement park instead of the one above ground. Kiyo controlled the rides, but they all malfunctioned. Later, he appeared as a hallucination of a mermaid. Kiyo's amusement park motivated {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} into making one of his own by stealing the one that was above ground.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
Kiyo was mentioned in [[PZ07]], where he is instead referred to as the "Dojo Master".

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black}}, there is a {{tc|Backpacker}} similarly named Kiyo (Japanese: ノブヒコ ''Nobuhiko'') in [[Black City]]. In {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, he is located in [[Reversal Mountain]].
* Despite leaving to train, the Pokémon he uses in the Generation II and IV games are 3 levels lower than the ones he uses in the Generation I and III games.
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there is a {{tc|Black Belt}} in the [[Viridian Gym]] named Kiyo in the English version; in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there is a Black Belt on {{rt|132|Hoenn}} named Kiyo in the English version. However, in both cases, the Black Belt's Japanese name is タクマ ''Takuma''.

'''Professor Elm''' (Japanese: '''ウツギ博士''' ''Dr. Utsugi'') is the resident [[Pokémon Professor]] of [[New Bark Town]] in the [[Johto]] region. Saying so himself, Professor Elm studies unusual Pokémon {{Abilities}}. He also specializes in [[Pokémon breeding]], and is credited with the discovery of [[Pokémon Egg]]s. According to [[Professor Oak]], in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Professor Elm "is the best when it comes to the research of [[Evolution|Pokémon evolution]]."

Elm gives one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] of Johto—{{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}}—to {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}{{sup/2|C}}, or {{ga|Lyra}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} so that they will have an easier time getting to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house.

==In the games==
Professor Elm works at his Laboratory in [[New Bark Town]] with his aide. He lives in a small house near his laboratory with his wife and son, who wants to grow up to be a [[Pokémon Professor]] like his dad. Elm is known for being a little scatterbrained and disorganized when he gets wrapped up with his research; according to his wife, Elm also sometimes forgets to eat when he's caught up in research. He holds [[Professor Oak]] in high regards. At the start of Pokémon [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]]. he gives the {{player}} his or her first [[starter Pokémon]].

After successfully hatching the {{pkmn|Egg}} containing {{p|Togepi}}, he gives the player an [[Everstone]].

After obtaining all eight [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s, Elm gives the player a [[Master Ball]]; after defeating the [[Elite Four]], he gives the player a [[S.S. Ticket|ticket]] to the [[S.S. Aqua]], allowing them to travel to [[Kanto]].

===Pokémon===
====In Generation II====
In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], Professor Elm will give out one of these Pokémon to Trainers.

But before the Poké Ball was invented, people used to walk with Pokémon. Just like your friend Ethan/Lyra does! Poké Balls are great because you can carry many Pokémon. But walking with Pokémon must have some advantages. It could have something to do with how Pokémon grow or evolve... So I'm going to give you a Pokémon! Can you walk beside this Pokémon, outside of its Poké Ball, to see if this brings any special feelings or bonds between Pokémon and people? The device over there has some Pokémon you could choose from..."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Professor Elm anime.png|250px|left|thumb|Professor Elm in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Professor Elm was one of {{an|Professor Oak}}'s top students at a university. He currently specializes in the research of {{Abilities}} and has interests in the origins of life.

Professor Elm debuted in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]''. {{TRT}} infiltrated his laboratory at [[New Bark Town]], and while he was studying a rare cell division through a microscope, the trio took off with a {{p|Totodile}} reserved for a new {{pkmn|Trainer}}. [[Officer Jenny]], {{Ash}}, and {{ashfr}} later battled Team Rocket and managed to return Totodile to Elm's lab.

After a period of traveling, the group encountered Elm again in ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'' while he was studying the origins of life in the [[Whirl Islands]] with [[Captain Marius]]. Elm helped rescue the group from the surrounding whirlpools with his newly-{{pkmn2|caught}} {{p|Corsola}}. Together, they docked at the [[Blue Point Isle]], where Elm informed them about the upcoming [[Whirl Cup]] tournament. Later, Elm and Corsola saved a group of Pokémon from being stolen by Team Rocket. Elm and [[Captain Marius]] then left the group to continue their research elsewhere.

In ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]'', Elm contacted Ash to congratulate him on getting eight [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s. He then sent him on an errand to retrieve an {{pkmn|Egg}} from the nearby [[Marine Pokémon Laboratory]]. As the head of the Pokémon Preservation Council, Elm had received news of the Egg after it had been poached from [[Mt. Silver]]. Ash and his friends obtained the Egg from [[Naomi]] and went on their way towards New Bark Town.

The Egg hatched in ''[[EP258|Hatch Me If You Can]]'', and the group contacted Elm after the baby {{AP|Larvitar}} was seemingly unresponsive to [[Nurse Joy]]'s treatment. Elm interrupted his dinner with Oak and {{Delia}}, who were visiting him to wish Ash well before the [[Silver Conference]], and rushed over to Ash's location to see Larvitar. The two Professors managed to stabilize Larvitar's body temperature, but it was still unresponsive. Later, as Ash fought Team Rocket, Larvitar overcame its unresponsive state to send them blasting off. Afterwards, Elm drove everyone to New Bark Town and entrusted Ash and his friends with the task of returning Larvitar to its home at Mt. Silver. In ''[[EP262|You're a Star, Larvitar!]]'', Elm checked in with the group and heard that Larvitar was doing well. [[EP264|Eventually]], Ash and his friends would return Larvitar to its mother {{p|Tyranitar}}.

In ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'', Elm was seen watching the [[Silver Conference]] on TV. Later, Ash happened to overhear [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s video call with Elm in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'' and spoke with him briefly. Elm officially thanked Ash and his friends for their help and informed them on Larvitar's well-being.

Elm made a brief cameo in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', after [[Dr. Yung]] revealed he had hacked the computer data of leading specialists, including that of Elm, to help with the construction of his [[Mirage Pokémon]] system.

===Character===
Professor Elm is regarded as sweet and kindhearted by many, including [[New Bark Town]]'s [[Nurse Joy]]. While he is incredibly knowledgeable, he is known to get into heated arguments with others over research and theories. He also tends to go into unnecessarily lengthy explanations whenever he is asked a question.

In addition, Elm can be incredibly absentminded. He has a habit of getting wrapped up in his research, to the point where he is completely oblivious to his surroundings, and he may not leave his laboratory for days.

|epname=Around the Whirlpool
|desc=Professor Elm's {{p|Corsola}} is his only known Pokémon that he actually owns. It is very fond of pools. This Corsola inspired {{an|Misty}} to try to catch her own {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}. When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were blasted off their boat by {{TRT}} and into the water with raging whirlpools, Corsola found the group and helped them.

Later, when Team Rocket had stolen a couple of Pokémon, Corsola jumped into the water to stop them. It tried to use Tackle, but {{TP|James|Weezing}} struck back. Corsola dodged and defeated [[Jessie's Arbok]]. It then used Spike Cannon and sent Team Rocket blasting off.

Corsola's known moves are {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Spike Cannon}}.}}

It later appeared when it would not let go of Jessie's hair but was taken off using {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s {{m|Vine Whip}} and given back to Elm.

Totodile's only known move is {{m|Water Gun}}.}}

====History====
====={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Professor Elm was initially to be brought several Pokémon by [[Joey]] from [[Professor Oak]], but before that happened, the Totodile that he was studying was stolen, and he was knocked unconscious before he could do anything. Gold then arrived and took Cyndaquil as well to catch the thief.

After Gold first battled with the [[Masked Man]] at the [[Ilex Forest]] and lost, Elm was able to get a sample of his clothing and found particles on them, but he did not know what they were. Elm then contacted Gold when he was battling the Masked Man for a second time, informing him that the particles on the clothes are the same substance used for Gym Badges, and that the Masked Man must be a Gym Leader. He tells Gold that he should not try to fight him, but Gold simply replies with, "It's too late."

A while beforehand, he decided that Gold was trustworthy enough to try to hatch an Egg for him, saying that it had not moved an inch while it was in the lab. While the Egg did hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}, due to Gold's habits of visiting arcades while it was an Egg, it learned how to play dice, pool, and poker, making Elm furious about how Gold had turned it into a delinquent. Little did he know, with Togepi's aggression came Gold's innate talent for bringing the fullest potential of baby Pokémon, allowing it to easily defeat the wild {{p|Gligar}} that tried to eat it right before it hatched (and the {{p|Tyranitar}} that {{adv|Silver}} borrowed from [[Lance]]).

Joey stays behind with him to help Elm with chores and research.

====={{chap|Emerald}}=====
In ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', he makes a cameo appearance in one of the ships heading to the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

====={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
In ''[[PS355|Knowledge of the Unown II]]'', both Professor Elm and Joey make a cameo. Elm is seen talking with [[Professor Rowan]] via videophone.

====={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
He is seen in Gold's flashback while Professor Oak gives Gold the task of meeting with [[Lance]] who has information about Team Rocket and their plan of obtaining {{p|Arceus}}.

==Trivia==
* Professor Elm is the only {{pkmn|Professor}} in the [[core series]] that does not welcome the player to the {{pkmn|world|world of Pokémon}} at the start of the game. [[Professor Oak]] takes his place instead.
** As such, he is also the only Professor without a large in-game sprite, having only the overworld sprite.
* Professor Elm is also the only Professor to give the [[player character]] a [[starter Pokémon]] that does not also give them a [[Pokédex]].
* In the games, one of the townsfolk mentions that Professor Elm is the one who discovered that {{p|Pikachu}} is an evolved Pokémon ({{p|Pichu}} was only introduced in [[Generation II]]).
* In the anime, Professor Elm is the only core series professor that did not give a starter Pokémon to a main character.

'''Professor Elm''' (Japanese: '''ウツギ博士''' ''Dr. Utsugi'') is the resident [[Pokémon Professor]] of [[New Bark Town]] in the [[Johto]] region. Saying so himself, Professor Elm studies unusual Pokémon {{Abilities}}. He also specializes in [[Pokémon breeding]], and is credited with the discovery of [[Pokémon Egg]]s. According to [[Professor Oak]], in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Professor Elm "is the best when it comes to the research of [[Evolution|Pokémon evolution]]."

Elm gives one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] of Johto—{{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}}—to {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}{{sup/2|C}}, or {{ga|Lyra}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} so that they will have an easier time getting to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house.

==In the games==
Professor Elm works at his Laboratory in [[New Bark Town]] with his aide. He lives in a small house near his laboratory with his wife and son, who wants to grow up to be a [[Pokémon Professor]] like his dad. Elm is known for being a little scatterbrained and disorganized when he gets wrapped up with his research; according to his wife, Elm also sometimes forgets to eat when he's caught up in research. He holds [[Professor Oak]] in high regards. At the start of Pokémon [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]]. he gives the {{player}} his or her first [[starter Pokémon]].

After successfully hatching the {{pkmn|Egg}} containing {{p|Togepi}}, he gives the player an [[Everstone]].

After obtaining all eight [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s, Elm gives the player a [[Master Ball]]; after defeating the [[Elite Four]], he gives the player a [[S.S. Ticket|ticket]] to the [[S.S. Aqua]], allowing them to travel to [[Kanto]].

:''"Hi, <player>! I've been waiting for you! Do you know anything about my research? As you know, Pokémon are carried in Poké Balls these days. But before the Poké Ball was invented, people used to walk with Pokémon. Just like your friend Ethan/Lyra does! Poké Balls are great because you can carry many Pokémon. But walking with Pokémon must have some advantages. It could have something to do with how Pokémon grow or evolve... So I'm going to give you a Pokémon! Can you walk beside this Pokémon, outside of its Poké Ball, to see if this brings any special feelings or bonds between Pokémon and people? The device over there has some Pokémon you could choose from..."''

:''"Hey, listen. I have this acquaintance that people call Mr. Pokémon. He keeps finding weird things and raving about his discoveries. Anyway, I just got an email from him saying that this time it's real. It's probably another Pokémon Egg, but we're still so busy with our Pokémon research... Wait! I know! You can go in our place, right? Can we count on you? You can choose one of the Pokémon over there."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Professor Elm anime.png|250px|left|thumb|Professor Elm in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Professor Elm was one of {{an|Professor Oak}}'s top students at a university. He currently specializes in the research of {{Abilities}} and has interests in the origins of life.

Professor Elm debuted in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]''. {{TRT}} infiltrated his laboratory at [[New Bark Town]], and while he was studying a rare cell division through a microscope, the trio took off with a {{p|Totodile}} reserved for a new {{pkmn|Trainer}}. [[Officer Jenny]], {{Ash}}, and {{ashfr}} later battled Team Rocket and managed to return Totodile to Elm's lab.

After a period of traveling, the group encountered Elm again in ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'' while he was studying the origins of life in the [[Whirl Islands]] with [[Captain Marius]]. Elm helped rescue the group from the surrounding whirlpools with his newly-{{pkmn2|caught}} {{p|Corsola}}. Together, they docked at the [[Blue Point Isle]], where Elm informed them about the upcoming [[Whirl Cup]] tournament. Later, Elm and Corsola saved a group of Pokémon from being stolen by Team Rocket. Elm and [[Captain Marius]] then left the group to continue their research elsewhere.

In ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]'', Elm contacted Ash to congratulate him on getting eight [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s. He then sent him on an errand to retrieve an {{pkmn|Egg}} from the nearby [[Marine Pokémon Laboratory]]. As the head of the Pokémon Preservation Council, Elm had received news of the Egg after it had been poached from [[Mt. Silver]]. Ash and his friends obtained the Egg from [[Naomi]] and went on their way towards New Bark Town.

The Egg hatched in ''[[EP258|Hatch Me If You Can]]'', and the group contacted Elm after the baby {{AP|Larvitar}} was seemingly unresponsive to [[Nurse Joy]]'s treatment. Elm interrupted his dinner with Oak and {{Delia}}, who were visiting him to wish Ash well before the [[Silver Conference]], and rushed over to Ash's location to see Larvitar. The two Professors managed to stabilize Larvitar's body temperature, but it was still unresponsive. Later, as Ash fought Team Rocket, Larvitar overcame its unresponsive state to send them blasting off. Afterwards, Elm drove everyone to New Bark Town and entrusted Ash and his friends with the task of returning Larvitar to its home at Mt. Silver. In ''[[EP262|You're a Star, Larvitar!]]'', Elm checked in with the group and heard that Larvitar was doing well. [[EP264|Eventually]], Ash and his friends would return Larvitar to its mother {{p|Tyranitar}}.

In ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'', Elm was seen watching the [[Silver Conference]] on TV. Later, Ash happened to overhear [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s video call with Elm in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'' and spoke with him briefly. Elm officially thanked Ash and his friends for their help and informed them on Larvitar's well-being.

Elm made a brief cameo in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', after [[Dr. Yung]] revealed he had hacked the computer data of leading specialists, including that of Elm, to help with the construction of his [[Mirage Pokémon]] system.

===Character===
Professor Elm is regarded as sweet and kindhearted by many, including [[New Bark Town]]'s [[Nurse Joy]]. While he is incredibly knowledgeable, he is known to get into heated arguments with others over research and theories. He also tends to go into unnecessarily lengthy explanations whenever he is asked a question.

In addition, Elm can be incredibly absentminded. He has a habit of getting wrapped up in his research, to the point where he is completely oblivious to his surroundings, and he may not leave his laboratory for days.

Later, when Team Rocket had stolen a couple of Pokémon, Corsola jumped into the water to stop them. It tried to use Tackle, but {{TP|James|Weezing}} struck back. Corsola dodged and defeated [[Jessie's Arbok]]. It then used Spike Cannon and sent Team Rocket blasting off.

[[File:Professor Elm Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Professor Elm in Pokémon Adventures]]
====History====
====={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Professor Elm was initially to be brought several Pokémon by [[Joey]] from [[Professor Oak]], but before that happened, the Totodile that he was studying was stolen, and he was knocked unconscious before he could do anything. Gold then arrived and took Cyndaquil as well to catch the thief.

After Gold first battled with the [[Masked Man]] at the [[Ilex Forest]] and lost, Elm was able to get a sample of his clothing and found particles on them, but he did not know what they were. Elm then contacted Gold when he was battling the Masked Man for a second time, informing him that the particles on the clothes are the same substance used for Gym Badges, and that the Masked Man must be a Gym Leader. He tells Gold that he should not try to fight him, but Gold simply replies with, "It's too late."

A while beforehand, he decided that Gold was trustworthy enough to try to hatch an Egg for him, saying that it had not moved an inch while it was in the lab. While the Egg did hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}, due to Gold's habits of visiting arcades while it was an Egg, it learned how to play dice, pool, and poker, making Elm furious about how Gold had turned it into a delinquent. Little did he know, with Togepi's aggression came Gold's innate talent for bringing the fullest potential of baby Pokémon, allowing it to easily defeat the wild {{p|Gligar}} that tried to eat it right before it hatched (and the {{p|Tyranitar}} that {{adv|Silver}} borrowed from [[Lance]]).

Joey stays behind with him to help Elm with chores and research.

====={{chap|Emerald}}=====
In ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', he makes a cameo appearance in one of the ships heading to the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

====={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
In ''[[PS355|Knowledge of the Unown II]]'', both Professor Elm and Joey make a cameo. Elm is seen talking with [[Professor Rowan]] via videophone.

====={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
He is seen in Gold's flashback while Professor Oak gives Gold the task of meeting with [[Lance]] who has information about Team Rocket and their plan of obtaining {{p|Arceus}}.

[[File:Elm PM.png|thumb|120px|Professor Elm in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Professor Elm appears in the [[Johto]] saga of [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]. He recommends {{OBP|Gold|Pocket Monsters}} and {{OBP|Silver|Pocket Monsters}} to Professor Oak as the chosen Trainers to get their first Pokémon. He even introduces them to {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}. Unlike other media, he was not seen giving away the Johto starters to new Trainers yet. In ''[[PM063|Marill's Special Training to Surpass Pikachu!!]]'', he was seen fighting Professor Oak after a {{p|Marill}} came by and stole some food.

Professor Elm reappears in [[PMHGSS01]], where he is in charge of the [[Pokéathlon]]. and has competed with Red in various events that went on. Elm reappears again in [[PMHGSS20]] along with the other professors. They were the judge of {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}'s fight with {{p|Giratina}}. After their battle, Professor Elm got into a brawl with the other professors that was started by Clefairy. After watching the fight that was recorded, they worked together and fought Clefairy.

==Trivia==
* Professor Elm is the only {{pkmn|Professor}} in the [[core series]] that does not welcome the player to the {{pkmn|world|world of Pokémon}} at the start of the game. [[Professor Oak]] takes his place instead.
** As such, he is also the only Professor without a large in-game sprite, having only the overworld sprite.
* Professor Elm is also the only Professor to give the [[player character]] a [[starter Pokémon]] that does not also give them a [[Pokédex]].
* In the games, one of the townsfolk mentions that Professor Elm is the one who discovered that {{p|Pikachu}} is an evolved Pokémon ({{p|Pichu}} was only introduced in [[Generation II]]).
* In the anime, Professor Elm is the only core series professor that did not give a starter Pokémon to a main character.

The '''Master''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|長老|ちょうろう}}さま''' ''Master'') is the leader of the Dragon Tamer clan, a secret society of {{tc|Dragon Tamer}}s that worships {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. He lives in the [[Dragon's Den]], which is located north of [[Blackthorn City]] in [[Johto]].

In the English release of {{game|Crystal}}, he is the leader of the dragon-user clan. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], he is known as the '''Dragon Clan Elder'''.

==In the games==
[[File:Dragon Clan Elder.png|thumb|{{ga|Lyra}} and the Master in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
The Master appears in {{game|Crystal}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. When spoken with for the first time, he will perform a quiz on the {{player}} to evaluate their care for their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. After the quiz, the Master will reward the player with a {{p|Dratini}}, which will know the move {{m|Extreme Speed|ExtremeSpeed}} if all questions are answered correctly. In Pokémon Crystal, this is the only way Dratini can learn this move. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, this Extreme Speed Dratini can, if [[Gender|male]], pass on the move to offspring Dratini as an [[Egg Move]], and can still pass it on if transferred forward to [[Generation V]]. It is obtained at [[level]] 15 in all games.

Two of the Master's descendants are [[Lance]] and [[Clair]]. Both of these {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are capable {{pkmn|battle}}rs who also specialize {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. Sometimes, they will come to the cave and visit their relative.

'''Clair''' (Japanese: '''イブキ''' ''Ibuki'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Blackthorn City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Blackthorn Gym]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and she gives the {{Badge|Rising}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. Her cousin is [[Lance]].

==In the games==
Clair appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as the Leader of the [[Blackthorn Gym]]. She is the eighth and final Gym Leader to be met in the [[Johto]] [[region]], and defeating her will allow {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to advance to [[Indigo Plateau]]. Known as "The Blessed User of Dragon Pokémon", Clair is descended from a long line of Dragon-type Trainers including her cousin, [[Elite Four]] member [[Lance]], and the {{OBP|master|Dragon Tamer clan}} of Blackthorn's Dragon Tamer clan.

Clair is confident of her abilities as a Trainer, and speaks of herself as "the world's best dragon master". She can hold her own against the [[Elite Four]]: her only known loss is against Lance, now the Champion. Even if the {{player}} defeats her in battle, she refuses to accept his or her talents unless they pass the "{{tt|Dragon-master challenge|"dragon user challenge" in Generation II}}". The {{Badge|Rising}} that victors of the Blackthorn Gym are entitled to remains in Clair's possession until Trainers have navigated the [[Dragon's Den]] and located a shrine at its center. Only then will Clair acknowledge her loss. She will also encourage the player to excel at the Pokémon League; this is mainly personal, so she will feel less upset about her defeat at the hands of a child. As well as the Rising Badge, she will also issue a {{t|Dragon}} Technical Machine: {{tm|24|DragonBreath}} in [[Generation II]]; {{tm|59|Dragon Pulse}} in [[Generation IV]]. Many of her own Pokémon know these moves in the respective generations.

The player's rival, {{ga|Silver}}, takes to training in the Dragon's Den once the Elite Four have been defeated by the player. In this way, he is said to act as Clair did when she was young herself. She returns here from time to time, and will battle alongside her cousin against Silver and the player. She tries to partner up with Silver after he challenges Lance (who asks the player to be his partner), but Silver insults her outfit and asks the player to partner with him instead. She comes to the Dragon's Den every morning between 6:00 AM and 10:00 AM after the player and rival defeat her and Lance, and will give her [[Pokégear]] phone number to the player. If called on Friday evening, she will journey to the [[Fighting Dojo]] and have a rematch with the player.

Clair makes an additional appearance in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s [[Johto]] [[Gym Leader Castle]]. This is the only appearance she makes where she uses Pokémon that are not draconic in origin.

===History===
====[[Original series]]====
[[File:Clair anime.png|thumb|250px|Clair in the [[original series]]]]
Clair hosted {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} as they stayed in [[Blackthorn City]] from ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'' to the beginning of ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''. As Ash and his friends neared Blackthorn City, they discovered a {{p|Dratini}} and a {{p|Gyarados}} in a river. They discovered that both Pokémon belonged to Clair, who was following the Dratini down the river as it prepared to shed its skin. {{TRT}} snatched the Dratini, however, and Clair gave chase. Dratini escaped, and Ash fought to protect it. During the ensuing {{pkmn|battle}}, however, an electric shock was headed straight for Dratini, but Clair jumped in front of it to absorb the shock. Dratini witnessed its {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s devotion, and [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} in order to put a stop to Team Rocket. Later, Clair was finally able to perform an important ritual to purify the legendary [[Dragon Fang]] at '''Riverhead Falls'''. Clair then went on to accept Ash's challenge for a {{Badge|Rising}}.

In ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'', Ash and Clair began their Gym battle. Ash made the first strike, but the battle was cut short when Team Rocket stole the Dragon Fang. Ash, {{ashfr}}, Clair and [[Kaburagi]] chased after Team Rocket and they all ended up in the [[Dragon Holy Land]], where Team Rocket tricked a {{p|Dragonite}} into helping them. In the [[EP253|following episode]], {{jo|Liza}} and [[Ash's Charizard]] arrived on the scene, whereupon they helped calm down the raging Dragonite and put out the raging fire that threatened the Dragon Holy Land.

Clair and Ash had their [[rematch]] in ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]''. Clair called on her {{p|Kingdra}}, but it was left exhausted by its confrontation against [[Ash's Snorlax]] and then knocked out by an {{m|Ice Punch}}. In the next round, Gyarados defeated Snorlax by {{status|paralyze|paralzying}} it with a {{m|Dragon Breath}} attack. Later, {{AP|Pikachu}}'s speed and super-effective {{m|Thunderbolt}} attacks helped him defeat Gyarados. Afterwards, Dragonair took out Pikachu and then faced off against Charizard. The round was initially in Clair's favor until Charizard managed to grab a hold of Dragonair and defeat it with a "Flaming {{m|Seismic Toss}}" combination, thus earning Ash his final [[Johto League]] Badge, the {{Badge|Rising}}.

In ''Why? Wynaut!'', Clair informed Ash that the [[Silver Conference]] will take place in {{jo|Silver Town}}, located at the foot of [[Mt. Silver]], in three months.

[[File:Clair and Dragonair.png|thumb|220px|left|Clair in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, in {{an|Lyra}}'s Johto introduction]]
[[File:Clair BW anime.png|thumb|220px|Clair in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]

===={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}====
Clair made a brief cameo in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'' during {{an|Lyra}}'s introduction to [[Johto]], where she was seen in her [[Generation IV]] outfit.

===={{series|Best Wishes}}====
After a long absence, Clair physically reappeared in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]'', when she came to [[Cave Island]] in the [[Decolore Islands]] to hunt for a {{Shiny}} {{p|Druddigon}}. While there, she bumped into Ash and met {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and [[Alexa]]. She revealed that she {{pkmn2|caught}} the Dragonite from the Dragon Holy Land, which later had a fight with [[Iris's Dragonite]] after the latter crushed a flower. The Druddigon she was searching for went on a rampage on the island, but she was able to calm it down before it joined her team. Clair decided that she would next visit Iris's hometown, the [[Village of Dragons]], before meeting with fellow Dragon specialist and the [[Opelucid City]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Drayden]]. Before Ash and his friends left for the next island, Clair and Iris agreed to battle each other the next time they met.

After her travels with Ash, Iris traveled to Blackthorn City to have her promised match against Clair in [[BWS02]]. Clair first took Iris to visit the Dragon Holy Land so she could help calm down a {{TP|Iris|Gible}} that was damaging the city before having their match. Iris's Dragonite went up against Clair's Shiny Druddigon and lost the battle. Clair thanked Iris for the match and told her that being ambitious was important to becoming a Dragon Master.

===Character===
Clair is compassionate towards her {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon and all Dragon-type Pokémon in general. She confidently approaches them in spite of whatever outbursts of anger they have and can calm them down with her soothing words. She understands their feelings, and allows them to spend free time in the [[Dragon Holy Land]].

Clair's expertise is well-respected by other Dragon specialists. In the past, she mentored [[Lance]] of the [[Elite Four]] and her good friend {{jo|Liza}}, who protects {{p|Charizard}}. She is currently mentoring {{an|Iris}}. Clair encourages her students to be ambitious and determined, and like them, she continues to refine her skills. Her confidence and mastery is also seen when she {{pkmn|battle}}s a challenger.

Although Clair mentioned [[Lance]] in the anime, he is not her cousin like in the games; instead, she recalled having trained him, or rather him training her at the [[Blackthorn Gym]] before he joined the [[Elite Four]].

====History====
====={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Clair debuts in ''[[PS123|Debonaire Dragonair]]'', where she expresses her disappointment at the lack of capable {{pkmn|Trainer}}s wishing to battle her. She heads off to Dragon's Den to train with the Pokémon inside, only to find them in awe of the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Suicune}}. Suicune challenges Clair to battle and manages to defeat her. After it leaves, the [[Master (Dragon Tamer clan)|Dragon Clan Elder]] explains that Suicune appears to Trainers it deems worthy and challenges them to battle. Clair deduces from this that Suicune must be battling the Gym Leaders to see which one is worthy enough to be its Trainer.

At the [[Indigo Plateau]], Clair arrives with her fellow Johto Gym Leaders to take place exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League against the Kanto Gym Leaders. She is set to face against the [[Cinnabar Island]] Gym Leader, [[Blaine]], in the seventh round, but the match is postponed due to Blaine not feeling well. When the [[Masked Man]] attacks the Pokémon League, Clair and the other Gym Leaders combat his army of mind-controlled {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. The fight takes them to the [[Magnet Train]], which is used as a diversion to get the Gym Leaders away from the stadium.

As they battle the army of Grunts, Clair suspects Blaine to be the one controlling the army. She attacks Blaine and states that they will have the seventh battle right there and now. She claims that since he was the last person to battle Lance, Blaine must know what happened to her cousin. With {{p|Entei}}'s strength, Blaine easily defeats Clair, thus ensuring the victory for the Kanto Gym Leaders. Blaine assures Clair that while he does not know where Lance is, he believes that he is still alive. After the Masked Man is defeated, Clair returned to her usual duties of being a Gym Leader.

====={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Clair appears at the [[Whirl Islands]], where she looks for Lance after a call from him was cut off. When she finds {{adv|Silver}} there, she attacks him and demands to know what business he has with Lance. Silver explains that he isn't Lance's enemy, but they are surrounded by a group of {{p|Koffing}} before he can continue. Silver easily defeats the Koffing group and drives them away. Clair then gives Silver the information about the call she had with Lance, which clues Silver onto where to go next.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[File:Clair PM.png|thumb|150px|Clair in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Clair appears in ''[[PM103|The Ultimate Battle...?!]]'', where she was hiding inside a giant Poké Ball from the [[PM102|previous chapter]] when {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} caused a rock slide in the [[Dragon's Den]]. Green was interested in Clair and wanted to go out on a date with her. However, she pretended to agree and Green went with her to the [[Blackthorn Gym]]. Red followed along and found Green and his {{TP|Green|Charizard}} brutally beaten by her.

Seeing this made Red's Pokémon scared and ran off. Red managed to get them back. When Red managed to get them back, Clair then revealed herself to be a Gym Leader. She then had Red and his Pokémon find a way to get to her from the other side of the lava. After a failed attempt from [[Red's Clefairy]] in making themselves a bridge to get across, Clair got a bucket of water and a latter to get them out of the lava.

With that done, she sends out her {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} to battle them. It took a combined effort of all three of Red's Pokémon to win. After the battle, Clair became depressed about the loss and the {{m|Double Team|clones}} of Clefairy and Tyrogue decided to cheer her up, leaving the real Clefairy and {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}} surprised about their actions.

* Her Japanese Leader title is {{tt|聖なるドラゴンポケモン使い！|Blessed Dragon Pokémon Tamer}}.
* When Clair gives the {{player}} {{TM|24|DragonBreath}} in [[Generation II]], she says, "No, it has nothing to do with my breath." This was a pun lost in translation, as Clair's Japanese name, Ibuki, can be taken to mean "breath". Despite this, a joke remains, as "dragon breath" is a term sometimes used for someone who has {{wp|halitosis}}. Because she gives out {{TM|59|Dragon Pulse}} in Generation IV instead, this joke was removed, though Clair does start to make a reference before becoming embarrassed.
* Clair is the only [[Gym Leader]] to be seen in the English dub of the {{pkmn|anime}} before the original version. The U.S. opening [[Born to Be a Winner]] featured exclusive clips, one of them of Clair, not shown in Japan. The opening made its debut in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', which aired August 18, 2001; and Clair's Japanese debut wouldn't come until ''[[EP251|Beauty Is Skin Deep]]'', which aired on June 6, 2002. The only other character to debut in the U.S. first was [[Dr. Yung]].
* Clair is the only [[Johto]] [[Gym Leader]] whose team's Pokémon changed between {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
** This parallels [[Giovanni]], who was the only [[Kanto]] Gym Leader whose [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} team was altered between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; both are the final Gym Leaders of their respective [[region]]s.
* Clair appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. She uses a {{p|Dragonair}} in battle.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, many characters in-game make fun of Clair's outfit, including {{ga|Silver}}.
* In [[Generation IV]], after receiving the {{badge|Rising}} from Clair, if the player doesn't leave [[Dragon's Den]] on foot, but instead uses an [[Escape Rope]] or {{m|Dig}}, which will immediately bring them outside of the cave, Clair won't be able to give the player their reward [[TM]] until they speak to her again in [[Blackthorn Gym]]. The conversation will be largely the same, but this time, Clair will start by noting that the player has been keeping her waiting instead of rewarding the TM as an apology.
* In {{game|Crystal}}, if the player [[black out|whites out]] due to {{status|poison}} damage while still inside the Dragon Shrine after receiving the Rising Badge, they can return to the Blackthorn Gym to receive the reward TM from Clair. However, if the player then returns to Dragon's Den and stands on the tile directly in front of the Dragon Shrine's door, Clair will appear again and give the player another TM24.

A '''Kimono Girl''' (Japanese: '''まいこはん''' ''{{wp|Maiko|Dancing Girl}}'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation II]] games. They appear as young women dressed in {{wp|kimonos}}.

Kimono Girls usually appear as a set of five Trainers who each own one of {{p|Eevee}}'s [[evolution]]s.

==In the games==
===Generation II===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, five Kimono Girls live in [[Ecruteak City]], and can be battled at the Ecruteak Dance Theater. Each owns one of the five [[Eeveelution]]s available in [[Generation II]].

===Generation IV===
[[File:Kimono Girls Tin Tower.png|thumb|250px|Atop the [[Bell Tower]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon HeartGold}}]]
[[File:Summoning Lugia.png|thumb|250px|Inside the [[Whirl Islands]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon SoulSilver}}]]
Much like other [[Generation II]] characters, the Kimono Girls made an appearance in the remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Instead of being restricted to their dance theater in [[Ecruteak City]] however, they will appear elsewhere, such as in [[Violet City]] (Zuki), [[Ilex Forest]] (Naoko), and the [[Ice Path]] (Sayo). A {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} appears in their theater in Ecruteak, where the player battles him after he harasses Miki about her dance routine. Kuni is briefly met during the Radio Tower incident, in the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]].

In order to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} in HeartGold and {{p|Lugia}} in SoulSilver, which is required before facing the [[Elite Four]], players must earn all eight Badges and, after receiving the [[Master Ball]] from [[Professor Elm]], battle all five Kimono Girls consecutively in the Dance Theater to obtain the [[Clear Bell]]{{sup/4|HG}} or [[Tidal Bell]]{{sup/4|SS}}.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the girls' respective [[Eeveelution]]s were swapped; only Zuki and Kuni's partners remained the same from Generation II. Additionally, Kuni's Japanese name, Sumomo, was altered to '''Komomo''', probably to avoid confusion with [[Maylene]], whose Japanese name is also Sumomo.

====History====
=====[[Original series]]=====
The Kimono Girls were called the ''Kimono Sisters'' in the [[original series]]. The dub retained their original Japanese names instead of using their localized English names.

In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', after {{Ash}} [[Ecruteak Gym]] victory, the gang bumped into [[Sakura]], who took them to the tea ceremony her sisters were running after {{an|Misty}} inquired about a nearby advertising poster. Sumomo was the first sister the group met, greeting them formally. Tamao was seen next, demonstrating {{wp|ikebana}} to a small audience. Later, they passed by the lone Koume playing her {{wp|shamisen}}. Finally, they were treated to a quiet display of the art of {{wp|Japanese tea ceremony|tea making and drinking}} by Satsuki. Needless to say, Brock was entranced by them all and grew frightened when they were all together and called him out on his praise.

The sisters are skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}}s as well as tradition keepers. Upon proposing a challenge to the trio to battle for Sakura to join them, Sumomo and Satsuki both displayed their {{p|Vaporeon}}'s and {{p|Jolteon}}'s abilities against [[Misty's Poliwhirl]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]] respectively. Vaporeon defeated Poliwhirl and Pikachu won against Jolteon, but the latter only after {{TRT}}'s interruption.

When Sakura changed her mind about leaving at that time, Satsuki admitted that she and the other three weren't against Sakura leaving to begin her journey, only that they wanted her to not be dependent on others if she finally did.

In ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', the four elder sisters attended a lucrative Pokémon Dance Academy class. However, the academy was another one of Team Rocket's schemes, and the Kimono sisters ended up handing over their Pokémon in exchange for private dancing lessons when they were actually stolen. With the help of Sakura's Eevee, now an {{p|Espeon}}, the other four [[Eeveelution]]s were rescued, and the episode ended with the sisters wishing Sakura well on her own journey.

====={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', the Kimono Girls made a cameo in {{an|Lyra}}'s video about [[Johto]] during the [[Johto Festival]].

====Character====
All of the sisters are sincere and polite. Satsuki is the oldest among the sisters and appears to do most of the talking, while Koume appears to be the most withdrawn and shy. The sisters are well-versed in many of the ancient arts like the {{wp|Japanese tea ceremony|tea ceremony}} and {{wp|ikebana}} flower arrangements, and they continue to train themselves in these traditions.

They unintentionally excluded the youngest sister [[Sakura]] from many of their activities, namely because they deemed her to be immature and poorly trained. When Sakura revealed she wanted to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]] in ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', they were initially doubtful of Sakura's commitments to her goal, but she gained their respect by the end of ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]''.

===In Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Kimono Girl PG.png|thumb|250px|Kimono Girl in Pokémon Generations]]
A Kimono Girl made a brief appearance in a flashback in ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]''. She was one of the citizens of [[Ecruteak City]] during the time when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] was struck by lightning. She wept as the flames that engulfed the Brass Tower killed three nameless Pokémon, which would later be revived by {{p|Ho-Oh}} as the [[Legendary beasts]].
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Kimono Girls Adventures.png|thumb|right|200px|Kimono Girls in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
===={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}====
A Kimono Girl was first seen in ''[[PS039|Just a Spearow Carrier]]'' as one of the Trainers waiting in line for the Indigo League.

===={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
All five Kimono Girls made an appearance in ''[[PS448|Pleased as Punch With Parasect]]'', when {{adv|Gold}} decided to visit them in Ecruteak after finishing up at the [[Pokéathlon]]. Gold spent his time watching them perform, which annoyed the [[Radio Director]] of {{ci|Goldenrod}}. However, Gold revealed that he was actually allowing time for [[Aibo]] to train, who was trying to learn {{m|Double Hit}}. When he finally did, Aibo evolved into {{p|Ambipom}}, winning the praise of the Kimono Girls. By the end of the arc, they had added a {{p|Leafeon}} and a {{p|Glaceon}} to their team.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
The Kimono Girls made a small cameo in ''[[GB11|Gold and Black VS Team Rocket]]''. {{GnB|Gold}} and [[Whitney]] were greeted by the Kimono Girls when they arrived in [[Ecruteak City]] for the [[Pokémon Summit]].

===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure manga===
A Kimono Girl appeared in [[JBA3]].

==Trivia==
* For an unknown reason, the Kimono Girls were given different but still Japanese names in the English versions. The French localization also followed suit, but were renamed to their original Japanese names in Generation IV with the exception of Koume, who was referred to as Umeko instead.
* In the French and German localizations of {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the name Keiko was used for different Kimono Girls.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, when the Kimono Girls are summoning the [[Legendary Pokémon]], they dance clockwise for Ho-Oh and counter-clockwise for Lugia.
* [[Bill]]'s mother was once a Kimono Girl, according to {{tc|Poké Maniac}} Brent, who reveals trivia about Bill via [[Pokégear]].
* Both of the anime episodes which featured all of the Kimono Sisters had [[Masaaki Iwane]] as animation director.
* In the anime episode ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', the four elder sisters' fans match the elemental themes of their Pokémon.
* The はん ''han'' in the Japanese name of the Trainer class is an equivalent of the honorific さん ''san'' in the Kansai dialect.
* The Kimono Girls dress in traditional Maiko attire.
* In [[Pokémon GO]], since the Generation II update, if an Eevee is [[nickname]]d after Tamao or Sakura, it is [[List of cross-canon references|guaranteed]] to evolve into that Kimono Sister's respective Eeveelution, while usually the form Eevee evolves into is random outside of select conditions.

'''Professor Elm''' (Japanese: '''ウツギ博士''' ''Dr. Utsugi'') is the resident [[Pokémon Professor]] of [[New Bark Town]] in the [[Johto]] region. Saying so himself, Professor Elm studies unusual Pokémon {{Abilities}}. He also specializes in [[Pokémon breeding]], and is credited with the discovery of [[Pokémon Egg]]s. According to [[Professor Oak]], in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Professor Elm "is the best when it comes to the research of [[Evolution|Pokémon evolution]]."

Elm gives one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] of Johto—{{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}}—to {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}{{sup/2|C}}, or {{ga|Lyra}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} so that they will have an easier time getting to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house.

==In the games==
Professor Elm works at his Laboratory in [[New Bark Town]] with his aide. He lives in a small house near his laboratory with his wife and son, who wants to grow up to be a [[Pokémon Professor]] like his dad. Elm is known for being a little scatterbrained and disorganized when he gets wrapped up with his research; according to his wife, Elm also sometimes forgets to eat when he's caught up in research. He holds [[Professor Oak]] in high regards. At the start of Pokémon [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]]. he gives the {{player}} his or her first [[starter Pokémon]].

After successfully hatching the {{pkmn|Egg}} containing {{p|Togepi}}, he gives the player an [[Everstone]].

After obtaining all eight [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s, Elm gives the player a [[Master Ball]]; after defeating the [[Elite Four]], he gives the player a [[S.S. Ticket|ticket]] to the [[S.S. Aqua]], allowing them to travel to [[Kanto]].

[[File:Professor Elm anime.png|250px|left|thumb|Professor Elm in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Professor Elm was one of {{an|Professor Oak}}'s top students at a university. He currently specializes in the research of {{Abilities}} and has interests in the origins of life.

Professor Elm debuted in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]''. {{TRT}} infiltrated his laboratory at [[New Bark Town]], and while he was studying a rare cell division through a microscope, the trio took off with a {{p|Totodile}} reserved for a new {{pkmn|Trainer}}. [[Officer Jenny]], {{Ash}}, and {{ashfr}} later battled Team Rocket and managed to return Totodile to Elm's lab.

After a period of traveling, the group encountered Elm again in ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'' while he was studying the origins of life in the [[Whirl Islands]] with [[Captain Marius]]. Elm helped rescue the group from the surrounding whirlpools with his newly-{{pkmn2|caught}} {{p|Corsola}}. Together, they docked at the [[Blue Point Isle]], where Elm informed them about the upcoming [[Whirl Cup]] tournament. Later, Elm and Corsola saved a group of Pokémon from being stolen by Team Rocket. Elm and [[Captain Marius]] then left the group to continue their research elsewhere.

In ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]'', Elm contacted Ash to congratulate him on getting eight [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s. He then sent him on an errand to retrieve an {{pkmn|Egg}} from the nearby [[Marine Pokémon Laboratory]]. As the head of the Pokémon Preservation Council, Elm had received news of the Egg after it had been poached from [[Mt. Silver]]. Ash and his friends obtained the Egg from [[Naomi]] and went on their way towards New Bark Town.

The Egg hatched in ''[[EP258|Hatch Me If You Can]]'', and the group contacted Elm after the baby {{AP|Larvitar}} was seemingly unresponsive to [[Nurse Joy]]'s treatment. Elm interrupted his dinner with Oak and {{Delia}}, who were visiting him to wish Ash well before the [[Silver Conference]], and rushed over to Ash's location to see Larvitar. The two Professors managed to stabilize Larvitar's body temperature, but it was still unresponsive. Later, as Ash fought Team Rocket, Larvitar overcame its unresponsive state to send them blasting off. Afterwards, Elm drove everyone to New Bark Town and entrusted Ash and his friends with the task of returning Larvitar to its home at Mt. Silver. In ''[[EP262|You're a Star, Larvitar!]]'', Elm checked in with the group and heard that Larvitar was doing well. [[EP264|Eventually]], Ash and his friends would return Larvitar to its mother {{p|Tyranitar}}.

In ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'', Elm was seen watching the [[Silver Conference]] on TV. Later, Ash happened to overhear [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s video call with Elm in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'' and spoke with him briefly. Elm officially thanked Ash and his friends for their help and informed them on Larvitar's well-being.

Elm made a brief cameo in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', after [[Dr. Yung]] revealed he had hacked the computer data of leading specialists, including that of Elm, to help with the construction of his [[Mirage Pokémon]] system.

===Character===
Professor Elm is regarded as sweet and kindhearted by many, including [[New Bark Town]]'s [[Nurse Joy]]. While he is incredibly knowledgeable, he is known to get into heated arguments with others over research and theories. He also tends to go into unnecessarily lengthy explanations whenever he is asked a question.

In addition, Elm can be incredibly absentminded. He has a habit of getting wrapped up in his research, to the point where he is completely oblivious to his surroundings, and he may not leave his laboratory for days.

Later, when Team Rocket had stolen a couple of Pokémon, Corsola jumped into the water to stop them. It tried to use Tackle, but {{TP|James|Weezing}} struck back. Corsola dodged and defeated [[Jessie's Arbok]]. It then used Spike Cannon and sent Team Rocket blasting off.

[[File:Professor Elm Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Professor Elm in Pokémon Adventures]]
====History====
====={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Professor Elm was initially to be brought several Pokémon by [[Joey]] from [[Professor Oak]], but before that happened, the Totodile that he was studying was stolen, and he was knocked unconscious before he could do anything. Gold then arrived and took Cyndaquil as well to catch the thief.

After Gold first battled with the [[Masked Man]] at the [[Ilex Forest]] and lost, Elm was able to get a sample of his clothing and found particles on them, but he did not know what they were. Elm then contacted Gold when he was battling the Masked Man for a second time, informing him that the particles on the clothes are the same substance used for Gym Badges, and that the Masked Man must be a Gym Leader. He tells Gold that he should not try to fight him, but Gold simply replies with, "It's too late."

A while beforehand, he decided that Gold was trustworthy enough to try to hatch an Egg for him, saying that it had not moved an inch while it was in the lab. While the Egg did hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}, due to Gold's habits of visiting arcades while it was an Egg, it learned how to play dice, pool, and poker, making Elm furious about how Gold had turned it into a delinquent. Little did he know, with Togepi's aggression came Gold's innate talent for bringing the fullest potential of baby Pokémon, allowing it to easily defeat the wild {{p|Gligar}} that tried to eat it right before it hatched (and the {{p|Tyranitar}} that {{adv|Silver}} borrowed from [[Lance]]).

Joey stays behind with him to help Elm with chores and research.

====={{chap|Emerald}}=====
In ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', he makes a cameo appearance in one of the ships heading to the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

====={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
In ''[[PS355|Knowledge of the Unown II]]'', both Professor Elm and Joey make a cameo. Elm is seen talking with [[Professor Rowan]] via videophone.

====={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
He is seen in Gold's flashback while Professor Oak gives Gold the task of meeting with [[Lance]] who has information about Team Rocket and their plan of obtaining {{p|Arceus}}.

Professor Elm appears in the [[Johto]] saga of [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]. He recommends {{OBP|Gold|Pocket Monsters}} and {{OBP|Silver|Pocket Monsters}} to Professor Oak as the chosen Trainers to get their first Pokémon. He even introduces them to {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}. Unlike other media, he was not seen giving away the Johto starters to new Trainers yet. In ''[[PM063|Marill's Special Training to Surpass Pikachu!!]]'', he was seen fighting Professor Oak after a {{p|Marill}} came by and stole some food.

Professor Elm reappears in [[PMHGSS01]], where he is in charge of the [[Pokéathlon]]. and has competed with Red in various events that went on. Elm reappears again in [[PMHGSS20]] along with the other professors. They were the judge of {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}'s fight with {{p|Giratina}}. After their battle, Professor Elm got into a brawl with the other professors that was started by Clefairy. After watching the fight that was recorded, they worked together and fought Clefairy.

==Trivia==
* Professor Elm is the only {{pkmn|Professor}} in the [[core series]] that does not welcome the player to the {{pkmn|world|world of Pokémon}} at the start of the game. [[Professor Oak]] takes his place instead.
** As such, he is also the only Professor without a large in-game sprite, having only the overworld sprite.
* Professor Elm is also the only Professor to give the [[player character]] a [[starter Pokémon]] that does not also give them a [[Pokédex]].
* In the games, one of the townsfolk mentions that Professor Elm is the one who discovered that {{p|Pikachu}} is an evolved Pokémon ({{p|Pichu}} was only introduced in [[Generation II]]).
* In the anime, Professor Elm is the only core series professor that did not give a starter Pokémon to a main character.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation I]], [[Generation III]], and [[Generation VII]], and the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]].

==In the games==
In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/{{ga|Trace}}{{sup/7|PE}}, the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it is revealed he has a [[Key Stone]] and [[Charizardite X]], which he uses in [[rematch]]es against the {{player}} after they become Champion. By the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to {{ga|Red}} taking a leave of absence from his position to continue his training at [[Mt. Silver]], and leaving Lance to take Red's place as Champion.
He raises {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, which are both hard to catch and raise. He prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible. At an unknown point in time, Lance, either as an Elite Four member or Champion, had a battle with [[Professor Kukui]], which he apparently won.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan-following. Lance also seems to have a liking for capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather is the [[Master (Dragon Tamer clan)|elder]] of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

In Generation II and their remakes, the player first encounters Lance at the [[Lake of Rage]] where he watches the player battle the [[Red Gyarados]]. Lance also appears in [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket at the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Lance rewards the player with the {{m|Whirlpool}} [[HM]] for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans.

Lance also appears in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}'s [[Gym Leader Castle]]s. In Stadium, he is the final member of the Elite Four, and in Stadium 2, he is the final Trainer in the Johto Gym Leader Castle, and must be defeated in order to gain access to the Kanto Gym Leader Castle. Notably, Stadium is the only game to date where Lance isn't seen using his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}.

* Before battle
:''"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>!"''

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

* After being defeated
:''"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!"''

;[[Lake of Rage]]
* After battling the [[red Gyarados]]
:''"This lake is full of <sc>{{p|Gyarados}}</sc> but nothing else… So the <sc>{{p|Magikarp}}</sc> are being forced to evolve… Did you come here because of the rumors? You're <player>? I'm <sc>Lance</sc>, a trainer like you. I heard some rumors, so I came to investigate… I saw the way you battled earlier, <player>. I can tell that you're a trainer with considerable skill. If you don't mind, could you help me investigate?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Excellent! It seems that the <sc>Lake</sc>'s <sc>Magikarp</sc> are being forced to evolve. A mysterious radio broadcast coming from <sc>{{to|Mahogany}}</sc> is the cause. I'll be waiting for you, <player>.
::'''No''': ''"Oh… Well, if you change your mind, please help me."''

*If talked to again after answering no
:''"Hm? Are you going to help me?"''

;[[Mahogany Town]]
*After answering yes at Lake of Rage
:''"<sc>{{p|Dragonite}}</sc>, <sc>{{m|Hyper Beam}}</sc>."''
:''"What took you, <player>? Just as I thought, that strange radio signal is coming from here."''
:''"The stairs are right here."''

;[[Team Rocket HQ|Rocket Hideout]]
*B2F
:''"Are you all right? Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> are hurt and tired. Here, give them some of my medicine."''
:''"<Player>, let's give it our best for <sc>Pokémon</sc>."''

*B3F
:''"It takes two passwords to get into the [[Petrel|boss]]'s quarters. Those passwords are known only to a few <sc>Rockets</sc>. That <sc>Rocket</sc> there very graciously told me so. <Player>, let's go get the passwords."''

*After entering the generator room
:''"Hey! Don't be so selfish. Spread the fun around."''

*After defeating Ariana
:''"That did it. We defeated all the <sc>Rockets</sc> here. But I'm concerned about the {{ga|Silver|young guy}} I battled in the process… Sorry, <player>. I saw how well you were doing, so I just hung back. Now all there is left to do is to turn off that odd radio signal. It's this machine that's causing all the problems. I don't see a switch on it… We have no choice. We have to make all the <sc>{{p|Electrode}}</sc> faint. That should stop this machine from transmitting that strange signal. It's no fault of the <sc>Pokémon</sc>, so it makes me feel guilty. <Player>, let's split the job."''

*If player tries to leave their side
:''"Leave this side to me."''

*After defeating all Electrode
:''"That odd signal has finally stopped. The <sc>Lake</sc> should be back to normal. You're the hero! Let me thank you on behalf of all the <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Oh, yes. You should take this. I found it here, but I don't have any need for it. That's <sc>{{m|Whirlpool}}</sc>. Teach it to a <sc>Pokémon</sc> to get across wild water. But keep this in mind. You can use that out of battle only with the <sc>Badge</sc> from <sc>[[Mahogany Gym]]</sc>. <player>… The journey to becoming the <sc>Pokémon Master</sc> is long and difficult. Knowing that, will you keep going? … I see. No, you're right. If you would give up that easily, you would have never chased that dream in the first place. I look forward to seeing you again!"''

;[[Indigo Plateau]]
* Before battle
:''"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.

As the most powerful trainer and as the <sc>Pokémon League Champion</sc>… I, <sc>Lance</sc> the dragon master, accept your challenge!"''

* Being defeated
:''"…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>!"''

* After being defeated
:''"…Whew. You have become truly powerful, <player>. Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> have responded to your strong and upstanding nature. As a trainer, you will continue to grow strong with your <sc>Pokémon</sc>."''
:''"This is getting to be a bit too noisy… <Player>, could you come with me?"''

If you don't mind, could you help me investigate?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Excellent! It seems that the Lake of Rage's <sc>{{p|Magikarp}}</sc> are being forced to evolve. A mysterious radio broadcast coming from Mahogany is probably the cause. And that suspicious souvenir shop… I'll be waiting for you in Mahogany, <player>."''

===In the main series===
[[File:Lance anime.png|250px|thumb|Lance in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====History====
=====[[Original series]]=====
Lance is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the Indigo [[Elite Four]]. He is also a member of the [[Pokémon G-Men]] detective organization.

Lance debuted in a cameo in {{jo|Marina}}'s fantasy in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. He later physically debuted in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'', where he was sent to investigate [[Team Rocket]]'s scheme at the [[Lake of Rage]]. He met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} there, saving the trio from some {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. Ash wanted to help Lance in his mission, but Lance said it was too dangerous.
[[File:Lance TR Disguise.png|left|200px|thumb|Lance disguised as a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}]]
Lance went on to infiltrate Team Rocket's base, and stole a Grunt uniform to remain undiscovered. He went on to learn that Team Rocket was trying to investigate the properties of a [[Red Gyarados]] so that they could force Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Ash and his friends were later captured by [[Professor Sebastian]] and Tyson after they tried to intervene in their plans. Lance remained undetected, joining Team Rocket's convoy and helping them transport the Red Gyarados away from the Lake of Rage.

In ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', Lance helped Ash's group escape and defeated the [[Team Rocket trio]] with his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}. Lance was then able to destroy Team Rocket's machine and blow up their laboratory. Lance also battled {{OBP|Tyson|Team Rocket}} and defeated his two {{p|Fearow}}. Meanwhile, Ash was able to calm the Red Gyarados at first, but it continued to go berserk. Finally, Lance used his Dragonite to {{status|Paralysis|paralyze}} Gyarados and he then {{pkmn2|caught}} it to keep it from destroying [[Mahogany Town]]. Before leaving, Lance promised Ash that he would take care of Gyarados.

He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''. [[Clair]] informed Ash and his friends that Lance had previously trained for several months at the [[Blackthorn Gym]] in order to perfect his experience with {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon.

====={{series|Advanced Generation}}=====
In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', Lance helped stop the rampage of {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre (AG)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon AG)|Groudon}}. Lance infiltrated [[Team Magma]]'s submarine and confronted [[Shelly]], who suspected that he wasn't really a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}. Shortly after the confrontation, he freed Ash, who had been captured after Pikachu absorbed the [[Red Orb]] that controlled Groudon. Lance's Pokémon were later sent into battle to help try to calm the two feuding Legendary Pokémon.

=====[[New series]]=====
[[File:Lance SS.png|thumb|250px|Lance in the new series]]
Lance, now wearing his {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} attire, reappeared in [[SS012]], where he faced the [[Galar League]] Champion [[Leon]] during the finals of the [[World Championships|Pokémon World Championships]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. Using his [[Dynamax Band]], he was able to [[Dynamax]] his Red Gyarados and pit it against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}, which Leon [[Gigantamax]]ed in response. After a fierce battle, Gyarados was defeated, and Lance congratulated his opponent of having just become the World Champion. He also revealed that he had trained at [[Hammerlocke Stadium|Galar's Dragon-type Gym]], and that he had been so impressed by the [[Clothing|uniforms]] he saw there that he had chosen to base his current outfit on them.

Lance reappeared in a flashback in [[SS013|the next episode]].

In this appearance, Lance was referred to as an Elite Four member instead of a Champion, implying he lost the title at some point after his previous appearance.

====Character====
Lance cares deeply for his Pokémon, and he regards them as friends. He takes his role as a part of the [[Pokémon G-Men]] seriously and maintains his conviction towards keeping the {{pkmn|world}} at peace. Lance often disguises himself to infiltrate evil organizations in order to gain valuable information before leaping into action.

Lance is largely independent, but still receives assistance from allies like [[Officer Jenny]]. He quickly befriended {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', after realizing that they were also concerned for [[Red Gyarados]]'s safety. He then enlisted their assistance to deal with [[Team Rocket]] and the [[Lake of Rage]] crisis. Lance was surprised to re-encounter Ash and the others in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], and worked with them to disrupt [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]'s plans in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.

Lance is an incredibly strong {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In [[SS012]], he was revealed to have won the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in [[Driftveil City]], as well as having been strong enough to reach the finals of the Pokémon World Championships, in which eight of the strongest Trainers from their respective [[region]]s gather to compete for the title of World Champion. He was even able to hold his own against [[Leon]], the undefeated {{pkmn|Champion}} of [[Galar]].

After a heated battle, Blue's {{p|Blastoise}} defeated Lance's {{p|Dragonite}} off-screen, making Blue the new Pokémon League Champion.

Lance reappeared in ''[[PG04|The Lake of Rage]]''. He and {{ga|Ethan}} were seen infiltrating the [[Team Rocket HQ]] in [[Mahogany Town]], destroying the radio wave generator and ruining [[Team Rocket]]'s plans to force Pokémon to evolve.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Lance Adventures.png|250px|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
====History====
====={{chap|Yellow}}=====
Lance debuts in [[Vermilion City]] before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. He took control of the {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner. He then attacked Vermilion City and destroyed it, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei but once Pikachu learned {{m|Surf}} he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.

He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling [[Blaine]] and Yellow. When Blaine released {{adv|Mewtwo}}, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo they could only battle together for about three minutes and with time running out Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle even began.

[[File:Lance HGSS Adventures.png|left|thumb|210px|Lance during the ninth chapter]]
During Lance's battle with Yellow both of them were equally matched, Lance luring the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance then once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, {{adv|Giovanni}} arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}}, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him and the Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals, but Yellow's Pokémon were able to drive Lugia away once they evolved and Yellow was able to channel their power into Pika's [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Megavolt]]. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

====={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Lance disappeared for a while, investigating Lugia and working behind the scenes. He gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a Pupitar (which Silver promptly returned, now evolved as a Tyranitar, after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the [[Lake of Rage]]). Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]]. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his {{p|Aerodactyl}} watching the horizon during part of {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s speech on the radio.

====={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}}. He requests that a [[Pokédex holder]] be sent to meet him at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]], so Professor Oak sends {{adv|Gold}}, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to find out what happened to its Trainer.

After chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]], Gold encounters an injured Lance there. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and wasn't able to meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not be able to connect with Arceus until he is able to connect with his [[Togebo|own Pokémon]]. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has [[Bugsy]] take care of Lance in the meantime. Before [[Togebo]] leaves, Lance hands it a [[Shiny Stone]], just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.

As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone else who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with Giovanni and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{adv|Creation trio|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina}} which {{adv|Arceus}} had created on the [[Sinjoh Ruins|Mystri Stage]]. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina, and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space with {{m|Spacial Rend}} is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.

It is later revealed that when Lance went to go find help, he arrived at the [[Ilex Forest]], where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni, who was attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how Lance was defeated by a coward like Petrel. Lance reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as {{adv|Yellow}}, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.

====Character====
Lance is primarily a villain. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people who he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently also from [[Viridian Forest]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest, just like {{adv|Yellow}} was. Lance has the power to telepathically communicate with Pokémon, as well as heal their wounds. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used these Dragonair to shield himself from the lava on Cerise Island by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The two Dragonair have four unique abilities: the first is to cross the seas and skies, the second is changing the direction of energy blasts, the third is controlling the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is combining their attacks. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a few times.

However, this plan did not work as Lance was eventually beaten, and the Badge Amplifier energy Lugia had absorbed transferred to the soils of mainland Kanto, where it would spread life instead of bringing about death. As a result, it fled from Lance.

It was seen again in the [[Whirl Islands]] where it was on a rampage after being controlled by the [[Masked Man]], who caught it just as {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}} were about to. Using its {{m|Aeroblast}} with {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Ho-Oh}}'s {{m|Sacred Fire}} to demolish the league, the two remained nearly unstoppable until {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Raikou}} appeared alongside [[Misty|their]] [[Blaine|new]] [[Lt.

Lance appears in ''[[PM036|Space Havoc!!]]'' as a regular Elite Four member. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} meets him while on his trip in outer space. Lance gives Red three tests for him to handle. While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang was on. After the shuttle got destroyed, Lance flew away on his Dragonite while {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} had to deal with an upset {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}}.

Lance reappeared in ''[[PM038|The Final Battle!!]]'' where he destroyed a village. The villagers ask Red and his Pokémon to defeat Lance. During the match, Clefairy was still no match for his Dragonite, even the weapons that he threw at it. However, when Lance was about to get beaten, Dragonite reveals its story about how he met Lance. However, the story is later found out to be a lie, and Lance ran off with his Dragonite, with Red and his Pokémon chasing him from behind.
