*Before battle
:''"Now, wait just one second! Aren't you the one who got in our way at the Slowpoke Well? I see… You're doing all this because you want to make me angry. Be careful! But since you seem to wish it, I'll show you the full extent of a {{tc|Executive|Team Rocket Executive}}'s wrath!"''

*'''The Cruelest and Scariest'''
* Off-screen, as "???"
: ''"{{mas|Sonia|You've}} made quite an annoying machine, I see."''
* After appearing, as Proton
: ''"Our boss is busy running a grand experiment. We can't let you interfere with that."''

* After appearing, as Proton
: ''"Unfortunately, we can't let you go any further."''
: ''"We'll do anything to buy our great boss, Giovanni, some time to achieve his ambitions!"''
: ''"Hmph. I was wondering who you were... You're {{mas|Bugsy|that kid}} from [[Azalea Town]]."''
: ''"{{mas|Lance|A Champion}} and {{mas|Clair|another Gym Leader}}? Fine by me."''
: ''"I couldn't ask for better opponents!"''

;Main Story Villain Arc - Hoenn - Delta of Land, Sea, and Sky
*'''Justice Serving Beliefs'''
* Off-screen, as "???"
: ''"Things seem to be working out perfectly..."''
* After appearing, as Proton
: ''"Was my advice any use?"''
: ''"*chuckle* With this, your [[Team Aqua]] is sure to win."''

;Main Story Villain Arc - Unova - Team Plasma & Two Heroes
*'''The One to Rule the World'''

;Main Story Villain Arc - Final Chapter - Where Ideals Cross Paths
*'''Shadow of Lies'''
* Off-screen, as "???"
: ''"I suppose this little ruse was a failure."''
* After appearing, as Proton
: ''"Trickery was a waste of time. You should've just taken them down by force."''
: ''"Oh? And what do you expect to do without Hoopa's power?"''
: ''"Why don't you just hide behind <player> like the little weakling you are?"''
: ''"Wait...aren't you two the leaders of Team Aqua and Team Magma?!"''

;Sync Pair Story - A Day with Proton
: ''"Hehe... Perfect timing. I'm currently conducting some business."''
: ''"Have a look. Slowpoke tails are a delicacy, and I'll give you a discount if you buy one now!"''
: ''"This fine item makes you happier the more you chew it!"''
:: '''Isn't this fake?''': ''"Hah! Guess I can't fool you."''
:: '''It looks a little suspicious...''': ''"I should have expected you'd be wary."''
: ''"Even though we're enemies, I must commend your observation skills. Indeed, this tail is fake."''
: ''"Pasio doesn't have any wild Pokémon..."''
: ''"so we made something similar with cheap materials and are passing them off as the real deal."''
:: '''Why do you do all these bad things?''': ''"For Giovanni, of course!"''
:: '''You should stop doing that.''': ''"I won't quit until I've hit my profit targets."''
: ''"I've been secretly working with my subordinates to gather funds and prove myself useful to Giovanni."''
: ''"This place is prime pickings, so we made a secret underground base."''
: ''"Items to make Pokémon stronger, indulgent delicacies, rare Pokémon plushies..."''
: ''"They're all fake, but business is booming."''
: ''"Oh, and there's no point in trying to tell me to stop!"''
: ''"This is the path I've chosen."''
: ''"My goal is to be an evil mastermind like Giovanni!"''
: ''"I've always admired Giovanni—how he can be so ruthlessly decisive."''
: ''"So I set out to be the scariest and cruelest guy in Team Rocket, and that's how I became an executive!"''
: ''"Which is why I can't betray Giovanni's trust or the trust of the subordinates that follow me."''
: ''"Or Golbat!"''
:: '''Is that Golbat...''': ''"You're curious if Golbat was stolen from someone?"''
:: '''Whose Pokémon was it originally?''': ''"He wasn't stolen or supplied by Team Rocket."''
: ''"I choose the partners I work with!"''
: ''"I can't trust a Pokémon stolen from someone else or a partner Pokémon provided by the organization."''
: ''"Failing a mission is unacceptable."''
: ''"I caught this Golbat as a Zubat and carefully raised it myself."''
: ''"If you don't believe me, would you like to test the strength of our relationship?"''
: ''"We've also gained experience by battling strong sync pairs."''
: ''"So we can be even more useful to Giovanni!"''

* Random conversation
: ''"Pokémon are tools for making money. That applies to my partner Pokémon, too."''

: ''"It seems that many organizations have come to Pasio."''
: ''"But there isn't any organization that could possibly surpass Team Rocket!"''
: ''"I'll show you just who the scariest and cruelest guy is!"''

: ''"No matter what you say, I'm not afraid to admit that I love Team Rocket from the bottom  of my heart."''

* Random conversation
: ''"We've successfully recruited some sync pairs as temporary Team Rocket members."''
: ''"It seems Giovanni and Team Rocket's reputation has sufficiently permeated Pasio!"''
: ''"With all these members, we could easily take control of this island!"''
:* If spoken to again
:: ''"Our activities cannot be stopped!"''
:: ''"If you plan on interfering, go ahead. Let's see your futile attempt!"''

* Random conversation
: ''"I made a grave mistake once..."''
: ''"I underestimated someone because they were a kid, and I let them go without realizing they'd be a threat to Team Rocket."''
: ''"Which is even more reason to keep an eye on you—no matter what!"''
:* If spoken to again
:: ''"That time at the well..."''
:: ''"If only I had put everything I had into destroying that kid, there wouldn't have been this much sabotage!"''
:: ''"It was the biggest failure of my life!"''

: ''"What are your thoughts on the taste of the fake Slowpoke tails my subordinates and I made?"''
: ''"The texture should be almost exactly like the real thing!"''
: ''"Hmph!"''
: ''"An excellent idea from the master of disguise himself!"''
: ''"You're always researching how to make something seem real."''
: ''"With your advice, I can finish making the fake Slowpoke tails..."''
: ''"and then my evil money-making scheme is sure to succeed!"''
