Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

Eterna City

"Oh, is that a Pokédex? You must be helping Professor Rowan? What's your name? ... OK, hello, <player>. I'll be sure to remember that name! My name is Cynthia. I'm a Trainer just like you. I've been studying Pokémon mythology lately, just out of curiosity. Here in Eterna City, there is a statue of an ancient Pokémon. According to myth, it was an extremely powerful Pokémon. Who knows? You may encounter something like it while you're traveling with your Pokédex. Try using this. It should help you on your way. Remember, the hidden move Cut can be used in the field. It will let you go places that were previously inaccessible to you. That's important for filling up your Pokédex, right? Then luck be with you, young Trainer!"

Valor Lakefront

"Oh , hello , long time no see! How is your Pokédex filling up? I came to research the folklore about the lake, but... Well, it doesn't appear as if the lake is open to the public now. Have you heard the folklore about it? They say there is an island inside the lake. And inside that island is a mirage of a Pokémon. No one must enter the chamber of that Pokémon... Oh that's right! I had to talk to you about something else... He's your friend? He's more impatient than energetic, isn't he? So, getting back to what I started saying earlier... Have you seen the group of Psyduck on Route 210?"

No: "You haven't seen them? By the café on Route 210."

Yes: "Yes that's right. By the café on Route 210."

"There is a group of Psyduck huddled with their heads in their, uh, hands...? Anyway, what you should do is use medicine on the Psyduck. You're working on a Pokédex, so it would be worthwhile for you. I went on a big adventure with a Pokédex when I was younger. I hope you meet every kind of Pokémon there is to see. It may help you with the secret of the mirage Pokémon. See you later!"

Route 210

"Oh, good. You used the SecretPotion I gave you. Psyduck are known to suffer from chronic headaches. But no one's been able to figure out what triggers the headaches. Oh yes! Can I ask you a big favor? I want to deliver this Old Charm to my grandma in Celestic Town. I know there are some rare Pokémon between here and Celestic Town, so it will be worth your while to go."

Yes: "My grandma has this sort of bossy atmosphere about her. I think you'll recognize her right away. Yes, I'm sure you will. She's the elder of Celestic Town. And the location... Look on your Town Map. You can't miss it. Ok, I'm counting on you! See you again on the road!"

Pokémon League

• Before battle (first time)

"Have you been keeping well? Thank you for Mt. Coronet. I'm truly grateful. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why you're here. As the Pokémon League Champion, I accept your challenge!"

• Before battle (rematch)

"One look at you tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. That's enough talking. Let's get on with why you're here. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge as the Pokémon League Champion! There won't be any letup from me!"

• After sending out last Pokémon

"I can't remember the last time I was put in a corner like this!"

• When the last Pokémon is at critical health

"I won't let this end yet! This match is too fun to let it end this easily!"

• Being defeated

"Just a few moments ago, you were the most powerful challenger. And just now, you became the most powerful of all the Trainers. You are now our newest Champion!"

• After being defeated

"That was excellent. Truly, an outstanding battle. You gave the support your Pokémon needed to maximize their power. And you guided them with certainty to secure victory. You have both passion and calculating coolness. Together, you and your Pokémon can overcome any challenge that may come your way. Those are the impressions I got from our battle. I'm glad I got to take part in the crowning of Sinnoh's new Champion! Come with me. We'll take the lift."

Hall of Fame

"The room ahead is the Hall of Fame..."

"Oh, hello, Professor Rowan."

"Professor, you still enjoy the enthusiasm kids bring to your research, don't you? <player>, step this way, please. Professor Rowan, please join us."

"If your last time here was when I become Champion, then yes, that would be quite a long time ago. <player>, welcome to the Hall of Fame. Your names will be recorded for posterity here. What you are leaving are the memories of your adventure so far. It's time to record your names. You and your Pokémon. Remember, your Pokémon are partners that grew with you through many challenging battles. This machine will make a permanent record of your achievement."

Pokémon Platinum

Eterna City

• Upon arriving

"Oh, that device you have... It is a Pokédex? Wow, it brings back some memories. Pardon me, but what's your name? ... OK, hello, <player>. I'll be sure to remember that name! My name is Cynthia. I'm a Trainer just like you. I've been studying Pokémon mythology lately, just out of curiosity. Here in Eterna City, there is a statue of an ancient Pokémon. Have you seen it already? According to myth, it was an extremely powerful Pokémon. Who knows? You may encounter something like it while you're traveling with your Pokédex. Oh, I know! Try using this. It should be helpful. Remember, the hidden move Cut can be used in the field. It will let you go places that were previously inaccessible to you. That's important for filling up your Pokédex, right? Then luck be with you, young Trainer! Oh, there's one last thing! Please give my regards to Prof. Rowan."

• At the cycle shop after defeating Jupiter

"Oh, there you are! I was looking for you. I've got something nice. I wanted you to have this Pokémon Egg. Will you accept it?"

No: "Oh...? You don't need to feel obligated. It's hard filling the pages of the Pokédex, isn't it? I only want to lend you a little hand, that's all."

Yes: "That's wonderful! The Pokémon inside the Egg is happy, too. I'm sure of it! Keep that Egg with you in your party of Pokémon. A Pokémon will hatch from it while you are traveling. I would be happy to know that it will help you fill another page of your Pokédex. See you again!"

Full party: "Oh? You have six Pokémon with you already. You don't have room for this Egg. You'll have to store a Pokémon in a PC Box at the Pokémon Center first. I'll give you this Egg when you've made room for it. I'll be waiting right here."

If player steps towards the Bicycle Shop: "Oh, wait! Don't leave without this Pokémon Egg. Please? I want you to have it."

If player asks again: "Well? Will you accept this Pokémon Egg?"

Valor Lakefront

"Oh, hello, long time no see! How is your Pokédex filling up? I came to research the folklore about the lake, but... Well, it doesn't appear as if the lake is open to the public now. Have you heard the folklore about it? They say there is an island inside the lake. And inside that island is a mirage of a Pokémon. No one must enter the chamber of that Pokémon...Oh, that's right! I had to talk to you about something else..."

"He's your friend? He's more impatient than he is energetic, isn't he? So, getting back to what I started saying earlier... Have you seen the group of Psyduck on Route 210?"

Yes: "Yes, that's right. By the café on Route 210. You've seen that group of Psyduck huddled with their heads in their, uh, hands...?"

No: "You haven't seen them? By the café on Route 210. There's a group of Psyduck huddled with their heads in their, uh, hands...?"

"Anyway, what you should do is use this medicine on the Psyduck. You're working on a Pokédex, so it would be worthwhile for you. I went on a big adventure with a Pokédex when I was younger. I hope you get to meet every kind of Pokémon there is to see. It may help you with the secret of the mirage Pokémon. See you later!"

Route 210

"Oh, good. You used the SecretPotion I gave you. Psyduck are known to suffer from chronic headaches. But no one's been able to figure out what triggers the headaches. Oh, yes! Can I ask you a big favor? I want you to deliver this Old Charm to my grandma in Celestic Town. I know there are some rare Pokémon between here and Celestic Town, so it will be worth your while to go."

Yes: "My grandma has this sort of bossy atmosphere about her. I think you'll recognize her right away. Yes, I'm sure you will. She's the elder of Celestic Town. And the location... Look on your Town Map. You can't miss it. OK, I'm counting on you! See you down the road!"

No: "I know I'm asking a big favor of you. But I really want you to do it. Will you go to Celestic Town for me?"

Celestic Town

"Was everything all right here? You saw those strange people with a Galactic Bomb, didn't you? But those Team Galactic people...! I thought they were harmless. The bizarre ways they dress, and all their wild claims about making a new universe... I thought it was just silly talk. Nothing to take seriously. But they're surprisingly more trouble than expected. Trying to monopolize Pokémon just isn't acceptable! By the way, were the ruins fun to explore? If you're interested, there is a library in Canalave City. It's stocked with ancient books. You can look up Sinnoh history there. It might help you complete your Pokédex, too. The quickest way to Canalave City is to go west from Jubilife City."

Spear Pillar

"No...! I'm so sorry I took so long. I think I finally found the answer from studying the myths. When this world was made, Dialga and Palkia appeared. Apparently, there was one more Pokémon that appeared at the same time. A Pokémon with as much power as Dialga and Palkia... But also one whose name was never to be spoken--Giratina! It's said to lurk in another world... A world on the opposite side of ours... That's what the shadow was. It must have been Giratina. The pillars are distorting... It's because of that portal. It's joined us to the other world. If it's not closed, the distortion will spread to Sinnoh and beyond... Our world will be destroyed... Are you ready? We have to chase Cyrus!"

No: "You need to get ready? I'll wait here."

Yes: "We have to hurry!"

Distortion World

1F

"This place... Can you feel it? There are no Pokémon here at all. Time isn't flowing and space isn't stable. A world where the rules are broken. A space one might call the Distortion World... Let's find Giratina. We need it to stop the spreading distortion at the Spear Pillar..."

"That was... Giratina...! We have to hurry! If something's not done the distortion will swallow not only our world, it will overwhelm the Distortion World..."

"This rock slab... It appears to move if you step a certain spot."

B1F

"Will we get to see Giratina if we keep going down? ...In the Distortion World, are we really traveling downward?"

"The legend of Giratina has been forgotten but to a few... The legend told of a world on the other side of ours. This world. Why does this world exist? Why is Giratina here all alone? There's too much that can't be explained but we have things to do. Let's split up. We have to find the right way."

• If talked to again

"We don't need to go together now. Let's keep looking for the way down."

"This place... It seems to be a giant puzzle. Maybe Giratina wants to test those that visit here? It appears as if we can't go unless we solve the puzzle. There were some boulders that could be moved... And there are several odd pits on the floor... The Pokémon of the lakes seem eager to show us something..."

B6F

• After solving the Lake Trio's puzzle

"I guess the Pokémon of the lakes must have gone home. I understand that they can keep balance against either Palkia or Dialga. Does it mean they can't do that with Giratina? ...Oops. This is no time for idle chitchat."

• If talked to again after the invisible platform appears

"Call it a Trainer's intuition, but we're getting close. Let's go on!"

B7F

"This is it... Giratina is up ahead..."

"...So you were already here. Why do you seek to change the world? If you hate our world you should just go off somewhere alone. Find somewhere where you can live without seeing others."

• If talked to before defeating Cyrus

"But... That's no justice at all!"

• After defeating Cyrus

"Don't believe his lies. It's not possible that a Pokémon can make the world disappear. The world awaited your birth. Not only yours, either. The Pokémon with you. The people close to you. All the Pokémon and people were born because they have a part in the world. I'm convinced of that. Giratina won't go out of existence. The Distortion World won't disappear. Our world won't disappear, either. Let's go meet Giratina. ...Oops. I should do something about your hardworking Pokémon first. Now let's go meet Giratina!"

"Giratina is enraged because the two worlds are endangered. It has merged the Distortion World and our world at the Spear Pillar. That's why both worlds are becoming distorted. But there's nothing to fear. You can defeat Giratina and show the tight bond you share with your Pokémon. Or you can demonstrate how much you want it to join you. If you succeed in doing either, Giratina will understand. The distortion of the two worlds will stop!"

• If talked to again

"I know that the bond you share with your Pokémon is strong!"

• After battle with Giratina

"Giratina seems to have understood us!"

"...The places we are born. The time we spend living... The languages we speak... We are all different. But the presence of Pokémon unites us. We share our lives with our Pokémon and our happiness grows as we all become greater than we were alone. That is why we can battle and trade with anyone we choose..."

"... ... Since there is sadness, we can feel joy. When there is anger, compassion is born... Let's go back home. The portal where Giratina was should lead back to our world. Giratina was written as being on the other side of our world. It stands to a reason that it has a link to the other side."

If talked to again: "Let's go back home. The portal where Giratina was should lead back to our world. Giratina was written as being on the other side of our world. It stands to a reason that it has a link to the other side."

Sendoff Spring

"...This place?! It's the Sendoff Spring... It's said to somehow lead to the great beyond... And Giratina was said to live in a world on the opposite side of ours. Oh! I'm sincerely sorry! It's very rude of me! <Player>, you are incredible! You're really a fantastic trainer! Let me say this on behalf of all Sinnoh: <Player>, thank you! Oh! That's right! You have to tell Prof.Rowan! He was very worried about you. You should visit him at his lab."

• If talked to again:

"You have to go tell Prof. Rowan about this at his lab. He was very worried about you."

• After talking to Professor Rowan

"Sigh...I wish I could have battled Giratina. Oh don't mind me. I'm only musing out loud. You deserve the glory and thanks for what you did."

Pokémon League

• Before battle

"Have you been keeping well? Thank you for Mt. Coronet. And the Distortion World. I'm truly grateful. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why you're here. As the Pokémon League Champion, I accept your challenge!"

• Before battle (rematch)

"One look at you tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. That's enough talking. Let's get on with why you're here. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge as the Pokémon League Champion! There won't be any letup from me!"

• After sending out last Pokémon

"I can't remember the last time I was put in a corner like this!"

• During battle (less than half HP)

"I won't let this end yet! This match is too fun to let it end this easily!"

• Being defeated

"...Just a few moments ago, you were the most powerful challenger. And just now, you became the most powerful of all the Trainers. You are now our newest Champion!"

• After being defeated

"That was excellent. Truly, an outstanding battle. You gave the support your Pokémon needed to maximize their power. And you guided them with certainty to secure victory. You have both passion and calculating coolness. Together, you and your Pokémon can overcome any challenge that may come your way. Those are the impressions I got from our battle. I'm glad I got to take part in the crowning of Sinnoh's new Champion! Come with me. We'll take the lift."

Hall of Fame

"The room ahead is the Hall of Fame..."

"Oh, hello, Professor Rowan."

"Professor, you still enjoy the enthusiasm kids bring to your research, don't you? <player>, step this way, please. Professor Rowan, please join us."

"If your last time here was when I become Champion, then yes, that would be quite a long time ago. <player>, welcome to the Hall of Fame. Your names will be recorded for posterity here. What you are leaving are the memories of your adventure so far. It's time to record your names. You and your Pokémon. Remember, your Pokémon are partners that grew with you through many challenging battles. This machine will make a permanent record of your achievement."

Snowpoint City

• After talking to the man in front of the S.S. Spiral for the first time after entering the Hall of Fame

"I thought you would come. I'm glad I waited for you! I think it's good that our world is constantly changing. Of course I don't want it to become what only one person wants. A world like Cyrus envisions...No one would want that. The kind of world I want to see is where everyone can share their joy. Where Pokémon and the people around them can be happy for each other. I want the world to become a place where everyone is smiling. The world could be so much better if we all tried to make it that way. I want you to keep traveling to many far-off places. I want you to keep meeting all kinds of people and Pokémon. I came all the way here just so I could say that to you! Your horizons will expand again if you visit the Fight Area as well. I hope our paths cross again!"

Celestic Ruins

• After entering the Hall of Fame

"This cave painting...It's always been described this way. The light in the center represents either Dialga or Palkia appearing at the Spear Pillar. The three lights around it were thought to be Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. May I continue? But, then, I realized that there may be another way of interpreting this. Could this triangle of lights actually represent a different trio? Could they be Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina instead? And the large light at their center. Does it represent something else? Could it be what created this world of ours? May I continue for a little bit longer? Thank you for listening to my theory. Do you know of the ancient Plates they find all over Sinnoh? One of them had this engraved on it. Two beings of time and space set free from the Original One.' I think this quote, too, points to the presence of another Pokémon. A Pokémon even more powerful than Dialga or Palkia. Does that sound plausible to you? I'm not quite sure how Giratina fits into this scheme of things, but... It's said that in the Distortion World, neither time nor space were stable. I think that tells us something about Giratina, the only Pokémon there. It must have been as powerful as Dialga and Palkia, the rulers of time and space. In some way, though, Giratina has to have a power opposite of theirs. I'm sorry this is so long. May I say one last bit? A long time ago, I wonder what sort of person painted this? Dialga's Roar of Time...Palkia's Spacial Rend...To the people back then, those Pokémon really must have appeared to rule over time and space. Seeing them must have shaken the people to their very core. This painting represents those feelings of awe, wonder, and everything else. It passed that memory to countless people, eventually becoming a myth...That's what I believe as a researcher of myths. I think I let myself get carried away and talked for far too long. I'm sorry, and thank you. Let's meet again."

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

Sinjoh Ruins

In the cabin

"My name is Cynthia. I am a Pokémon Trainer. The Sinjoh Ruins remind me of Sinnoh, where I come from. Initially, I thought it was because it snows a lot here as well. But that was not it. A long time ago... people came from Sinnoh to live here. They must have built a temple here while longing for home. That's why we call these the Sinjoh Ruins..."

• If Arceus is in the party

"You are... a Pokémon Trainer? I can sense strong power coming from your Poké Ball..."

"I feel a familiar presence... The power of Dialga... Palkia... or could it be Giratina? It's similar, but not quite the same... Have you got time? Can you come to the Sinjoh Ruins with me? Call it a Trainer's intuition. When you and your Pokémon step onto that stage, something will happen."

• If Arceus is not in the party

"I wouldn't assume you managed to get here by yourself. This is a heavy-snowfall area where the snowbound land freezes you to the core... Talk to the old man if you wish to go back. Abra should be able to take you where you come from."

Inside the ruins

• If Arceus is not the walking Pokémon

"The Sinjoh Ruins are what remains of a temple built to show respect for Arceus.

• If Arceus is the walking Pokémon

"This is the Mystri Stage. The mythical stage built to show respect for Arceus. It is said that people used to celebrate its magnificent might with music and dance. Some people in Johto still pass down this tradition."

• If the player has anything but a single Arceus in the party

"The Mystri Stage allows a single Arceus and nothing else to get on the stage... If you wish to go up there, you will have to deposit your other Pokémon in PC Box at the cabin."

• If the player only has a single Arceus in the party

"According to an ancient document, time, space, and antimatter, or what combined we call the world, shall be born when Arceus stands on the Mystri Stage. This is where one might say, "The lead enters the Mystri Stage at last." All my study of ruins and Pokémon mythology in Sinnoh may have been to bring you up on this stage here today... Depicted on the Mystri Stage are the Pokémon that shaped this world. The circle in the middle is Arceus, the origin of it all..."

"This is the pattern that represents Palkia, the master of space and dimensions..."

"This is the pattern that represents Dialga, the guardian of time..."

"This is the pattern that represents Giratina, the ruler of the world that is on the opposite side of ours, the world of antimatter..."

"Arceus has accepted you as a Trainer. Arceus, having shaped the world, is said to show you a glimpse of its true power. The power of possibly making life appear out of nothing..."

"It seems that something will happen when you chose one of the circles... You'll want to be well prepared."

"Once you are ready, choose a circle and stand in the middle of it."

• Standing on Dialga's circle

"So you choose Dialga, the guardian of time?"

• Standing on Palkia's circle

"So you choose Palkia, the master of space and dimensions?"

• Standing on Giratina's circle

"So you choose Giratina, the ruler of the Distortion World?"

• After Arceus creates an Egg

"That shining sphere... Could it be...an Egg? Did we just witness the very moment an Egg was brought to this world? A moment no one has ever seen?"

"An Egg is the cradle of every being. The planet itself is an Egg in a sense... Life that comes from an Egg will come to an end in due course... to begin anew... That may be what Arceus wanted to show us."

"That was...? We seem to be surrounded by that strong power again...!"

Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2

Undella Town

First visit

"What's this?"

"What an uncanny resemblance... It's surprising to meet another Trainer who has intense eyes like that Pokémon Trainer. What's your name? ... OK. I'll remember that! <player>, nice to meet you. I'm Cynthia. I'm a Pokémon Trainer, too, like you. I have an insatiable curiosity for researching Pokémon myths."

"I'm sure you know about Undella Town's Abyssal Ruins, right? I'm staying here at my friend's villa so I can investigate them."

"In order to get to know each other better as Pokémon Trainers, I would like our Pokémon to have a match. Would you care to be my opponent?"

No: "Ha ha. You prefer to take things slowly and rationally, am I right? When you're ready, come and talk to me. I'll be happy to see you."

"Oh. You've had a chance to get ready? I do want our Pokémon to have a match... Are you prepared to be my opponent?"

Yes: "Before I send out my Pokémon, my heart always begins to race... Interesting... My Pokémon in their Poké Balls are radiating a happy feeling. Are you the reason? What are you?"

• After sending out last Pokémon

"When was the last time I was driven into a corner like this?"

• When the last Pokémon is at critical health

"You haven't won yet! I won't let such a fun battle end so easily!"

• Being defeated

"My heart is pounding so hard because I had such a heated battle with you. You are a really great Trainer!!"

• After being defeated

"That was beyond my expectation! What an exceptional battle! You certainly bear a resemblance to that Trainer who faced Giratina... Oh, pardon me. I was just thinking out loud. I love being here in spring and summer. I can't stay all year, because there's so much to investigate in Sinnoh, as well. You're a great Trainer, and it would make me happy to see you again sometime."

• If talked to again

"I love to come here in spring and summer. But there are a lot of things to investigate in Sinnoh, as well. I'd be delighted to see you again. You're an awesome Pokémon Trainer!"

Later visits (Spring)

• Before battle

"How terrific to see you again! I've got to tell you... My Pokémon are excited to battle yours. Would you care to be my opponent?"

No: "Oh, what a pity. Summers in Undella Town make me feel like I'm on holiday. I forget about battling! But in spring, I feel like getting worked up with a good battle."

"I can tell that my Pokémon are excited about battling your Pokémon... Would you care to be my opponent?"

Yes: "This will be such fun! No holds barred!"

No:

• After sending out last Pokémon

"When was the last time I was driven into a corner like this?"

• When the last Pokémon is at critical health

"You haven't won yet! I won't let such a fun battle end so easily!"

• Being defeated

"My heart is pounding so hard because I had such a heated battle with you. You are a really great Trainer!!"

• After being defeated

"For some reason, this reminds me of a time when I told a Trainer like you to go see many, many more places and to meet many more Pokémon. For me, it has really been worthwhile to come all the way to far Unova. Why? Because... I met you, and my world got wider!"

• Before battle

"To live their lives to the fullest, people and Pokémon need the chance to throw themselves into battle against the fiercest opposition. That's why I want to battle you. How about it?"

No: "I'm a little disappointed. I know you can battle on bigger stages than you've done so far! It's so plain to me that your light can shine brighter than this..."

"Are you prepared? Let's battle at full strength and see how bright our lights can shine!"

Yes: "As our Pokémon meet in battle, I'll learn more about you and how you've taken care of them."

• After sending out last Pokémon

"When was the last time I was driven into a corner like this?"

• When the last Pokémon is at critical health

"You haven't won yet! I won't let such a fun battle end so easily!"

• Being defeated

"My heart is pounding so hard because I had such a heated battle with you. You are a really great Trainer!!"

• After being defeated

"When you meet Trainers, battle them to learn about the kind of people they are. Observe the Pokémon they choose, which moves they taught them, and which items the Pokémon hold. You don't need words at such times... If you want to know more about me... Come to Sinnoh!"

Later visits (summer)

"I'd love to live here...But if I did, there would be a mountain of research piled up...Am I right? Cynthia, enough for now! Next time, clean up."

"What is necessary for becoming stronger than you are now? My answer is simply loving Pokémon with all your heart. That's how I am, so that's all I can say."

"Hmm. This is difficult. I was greedy and bought a lot of swimsuits, but now I can't pick which one to wear."

"Here's my problem. I have a white swimsuit and a black swimsuit...Which one would look better on me?"

"Once every few years, the Champions of each region gather and compete to see who is the strongest! An interesting idea, don't you agree?"

Pokémon World Tournament^B2W2

• Before battle (first round)

"I think I could get to like this atmosphere. It gives me an idea about the kind of person that battles here."

• Before battle (second round)

"One look at you tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge! There won't be any letup from me!"

• Before battle (final round)

"When you are facing a Trainer in battle, you can learn everything about them. What Pokémon they have. What moves they've taught. What items they make their Pokémon hold. There's no need for words then."

• Being defeated

"Aww! No matter how fun the battle is, it will always end sometime..."

• If the player is defeated

"What's necessary to become stronger? I think it's important to never lose your love of Pokémon."

• After being defeated

"That was excellent. Truly, an outstanding battle. You gave the support your Pokémon needed to maximize their power. And you guided them with certainty to secure victory."

• After winning

"Just a few minutes ago, you were the most powerful challenger. The road before you is still very long, but never give up! You'll always have Pokémon at your side."

• In the lobby, after the tournament

"I sincerely applaud your victory in the tournament. However, there must be many other strong opponents in the world... I want to keep meeting many different people and Pokémon in other places."

Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon

Battle Tree

• Before battle

"I, Cynthia, accept your challenge! There won't be any letup from me!"

• Being defeated

"No matter how fun the battle is, it will always end sometime…"

• If the player is defeated

"Even if you lose, never lose your love of Pokémon."

"I'm sorry, but I can't battle right now. My Pokémon needs to rest—she's worked hard enough for today."

• Cynthia and Rosa

"Ahh, so you've heard of me, then. You're correct—I'm Cynthia. Lovely to meet you all. I'm flattered you think so highly of me."

"Thanks for helping us back there. I really appreciate it."

"You especially, <player>... That was a magnificent battle. I sense a great deal of potential in you!"

"If there are other Trainers like you here competing in the PML, I'm even more excited for things to get started."

"Next time we cross paths with one another, we should have a Pokémon battle."

Main Story Chapter 20 - Shifting Shadows

• Big Sis

"Sorry, but your colleagues have already been apprehended."

"Long time no see. Thanks to your distraction, I was able to complete our objective."

"That's correct. My being here should be proof of that."

"So, you now have a choice to make--come quietly, or..."

"see how you fare in a battle against Garchomp and me! Take your pick."

"There, that wasn't so hard, was it?"

"The PML staff should be able to take over from here. We can leave Team Break and the stolen Pokémon to them."

"Like I said before, if you hadn't been keeping some of them distracted, I might not have been able to blindside Team Break the way I did."

"It's really thanks to you that I was able to round up all these criminals."

"Hmm... It seems you've gained some lovely new friends, Calem. I've been thinking about this for a while now, but after today..."

"I'm convinced that you'd do well on <player>'s team, Calem. It's perfect for you!"

"Well, that's excellent! I think I'm even more excited to battle against your team now."

"I am, as a matter of fact. Best of luck to both our teams in the finals."

"Speaking of which, we should probably start heading that way before they begin the opening ceremony without us."

"Hm? Did you hear that?"

"Just as I thought... There seems to be something bigger going on around here, unlike anything we've seen before..."

"No, nothing at all."

"Shall we get going? The greatest sync pairs on Pasio are gathering at the arena, and we should be among them!"

"I already know who you'll be up against."

"I hope you'll give us a good fight."

Main Story Villain Arc - Sinnoh

• Team Galactic on the Move

"Did you find anything that interests you, Giratina?"

"You sure seem interested in something."

"I wonder if that’s how people see me when I’m working, too."

"I sure am. Giratina seemed interested in them, too."

"They are. But Legendary Pokémon seem to have been appearing here."

"As an archaeologist, I’m always curious about the authenticity of ruins—and what kind of history they have."

"But I think Giratina’s more interested in the traces of other Pokémon that came here."

"*chuckle* That’s another valid theory!"

"Either way, I can sense that Giratina’s own heart has led it here to see these ruins for reasons that are different from mine."

"Oh. What’s wrong, Giratina? Did you find something?"

"Cyrus had Palkia with him before..."

"Perhaps he’s also brought Dialga here to Pasio, too?"

"It didn’t seem aggressive, so I don’t think it was Cyrus’s Pokémon."

"Team Galactic, huh."

"Of course. You have my help."

"Cyrus... If you’re up to your old tricks again, I’ll have no choice but to stop you."

"Is there no hope of you changing in this world we share?"

• The Darkest Nightmare

"So people are seeing mysterious nightmares. Thanks for letting me know."

"Agreed. We can’t let them abuse Pokémon like that."

"That said..."

"I still believe Cyrus can change his ways here on Pasio."

"If we want to stop Team Galactic, brute force won’t cut it. We have to change their mindset and ideas."

"Thank you, Dawn."

"I see. Then I suppose it’s time for a showdown."

"Sorry, but do you mind if we split up here?"

"I think it’ll be more efficient to scope out the enemy separately than as a group."

"Thank you."

"You too. Good luck!"

• The Galactic Hideout

"This is going off without a hitch. I guess Dawn and the others are luring the enemy their way?"

"Oh, perfect timing. I wanted to have a little talk with you."

"Is that so? Then I suppose I’ll have my skill in battle speak for me."

"Do you really understand what Cyrus is trying to do?"

"And what happens after that? Has Cyrus told you what he really intends to do? Even a little bit?"

"Are you sure you don’t want to know what kind of person he is, and what he’s thinking?"

"It wouldn’t hurt to see what he’s truly trying to accomplish, right?"

"It’s not like checking that first would cause any delay in your plans."

• Cyrus’s True Ambitions

"This is the world your boss Cyrus is really trying to achieve."

"If you have any feelings—the human spirit that Cyrus is talking about—within you..."

"then I think it might be worth reconsidering a few things. Even if it’s just a little bit."

"That’s all I had to say. I’ll be on my way now."

• Together in Spirit

"Ever since that incident, it seems Cyrus has been putting his plans into action."

"Sync pairs all over Pasio are falling asleep and having terrible nightmares... And they’re not waking up."

"That’s fantastic, Dawn! How’d you do that?"

Story Event - Two Champions

• Intro

"I'm Cynthia, Champion of the Sinnoh region. It sounds like I have some interesting battles to look forward to!"

• Abuzz about Champions

"Ah, so that's what all the ruckus is about."

"I've been feeling eyes on me wherever I go recently... At first I thought there must be some kind of hideous rumor going around about me."

"But I suppose Lance's arrival solves that mystery. I'll admit, I'd be interested in meeting him, if the opportunity presents itself."

"All right, then. Why don't you team up with your friends over there? <player>, you and Rosa can fight with me. Let's do our best to get in sync with one another. It's our first time teaming up like this, after all."

• Cynthia's Perspective

"It certainly seems that way. As long as this whole debate leads to a fun battle between us, that's good enough for me."

"Well...I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious. I've just never placed much importance on earning titles like “the greatest.”"

"I know. I do hear that a lot. But as far as I'm concerned, the goal in all this isn't to compare myself to others."

"Working hard with Garchomp to grow stronger each day, to excel beyond our limits... That personal growth is more important to me."

"And that's why, to be honest, I don't really care how the rest of the world perceives me."

"*chuckle* Did that come off a bit too high and mighty? Let's just forget I said anything, all right?"

"Well, I should get going. Places to go, people to see..."

• Lance's Perspective

"We seem to keep running into each other today, Rosa, <player>."

"And...I see you've brought a new friend with you this time. Nice to see you, Lance."

"Receiving so much attention is certainly an honor and a privilege. "

"However..."

"... ... ..."

"There's been so much gossip about us Champions and our dragon Pokémon... About who is really the greatest of all..."

"I thought I could simply ignore it and move on but now that you're right here in front of me, I can't help but feel that itch."

"Naturally, we have to—"

"Thank you. My thoughts exactly."

"Shall we begin?"

• Surprise Entrance

Cynthia!: "Well, I can't let you down now, can I? I'll give this battle everything I've got, and I promise you, I will win! Well...shall we get started, Lance? I'd like to see with my own two eyes what you and Dragonite are truly capable of!"

"Quite the enthusiastic cousin you have there, Lance."

"No objection from me. I've actually been curious about them for a while now—both Clair and the young Champion from Unova."

"It sounds like everything is in order..."

"Well? Are you ready to battle against Cynthia, Champion of the Sinnoh League..."

• At Long Last...

"You have a kind heart, Clair."

"You staked your pride on this battle to prove yourself to the Pokémon you love, and despite being defeated, you refuse to give up."

"You still strive to grow and improve yourself, and that is admirable. As a fellow Trainer, I really respect that!"

"We've faced some tough opponents today... Garchomp and Dragonite have really had to push themselves in these last few battles."

"Our Pokémon are our partners, and we care a lot about them, which means it's our duty to make sure their needs are taken care of."

"I'm glad all of our fans were so understanding."

"So in other words...we should save the fun for later?"

"All right, then. I can't say I care much about the title of greatest dragon master, but if it means I get to battle against you, I'm definitely in!"

"I look forward to the day we can finally unleash our full power on the battlefield."

Legendary Event - New World Dilemma

• The Man from Another Dimension

"Do you have a moment, <player>?"

"We know it's sudden—and this will be a dangerous task. But if my intuition is correct about who did this, the whole world could be in danger."

"Just this once, I hope my intuition is wrong."

• Creating a New World

"Stop right there, Cyrus!"

"You've gone far enough! This ends here!"

"Don't involve any of us in your foolish plans!"

"He got away. We need to stop Cyrus—and fast."

"Before it's too late!"

• Sophocles the Brave

"Yes. He's a dangerous man wanted by the International Police."

"Or maybe he wants to use that power to bring Dialga to Pasio."

"In any case, his goal is to complete his plan that was interrupted when he was brought here. To destroy this world and create a new one..."

"... ... ..."

"Those kids are something else..."

"I rejected Cyrus's warped justification for wanting to change the world."

"I even thought, if he hates the world so much, he should go somewhere far away and leave the rest of us alone."

"But those kids haven't rejected Cyrus. Why, they're trying to find a way to coexist with him."

"If they're serious about trying to stop him, then I've got to get serious myself. Both as an adult living in this world and as a Trainer!"

• Bonds of Spirit

"Go, Kommo-o!"

"Cyrus! I won't let you try to change this world!"

"If your strength lies in a steadfast will that rejects spirit... then mine lies in the bonds that are born from spirit!"

"Face me, Cyrus!"

• A Perfect, Complete Answer

"Palkia's power is incredible..."

"You don't understand."

"Spirit is what creates the bonds between people and Pokémon. Those bonds are what created this world and made it what it is today. And this world is all the more precious for it!"

"Then you are truly lost..."

"Listen to me, Kommo-o... I raised you from an Egg, watched you get stronger through training here on Pasio, and made you my partner Pokémon."

"We built our bond from the ground up. This world is full of people and Pokémon who will go on to create bonds with each other."

"Someone who rejects this world of ours... can never defeat us!"

"My sync stone..."

"All right, Kommo-o! Let's show them the power of our bond!"

"Thank you, Kommo-o."

"It's over, Cyrus. You're coming with me."

"Because... you're a human being, too. Your spirit is just as incomplete as anyone else's."

"We're all born in different places. We live different lives and speak different languages. But the one main thing we all share is that we have Pokémon by our sides to bring us joy. Because of that, we can compete in Pokémon battles against people we don't even know. That's the world we live in. Every single one of us—including you."

"Cyrus..."

"Sophocles..."

"Get out of here, Cyrus."

"If you ever try to do something like this again, I'll see to it personally that you face justice. I won't let you change this world just because you've fallen into despair."

"But... I hope you change your ways while you're in this world."

"This experience might have been the nudge in the right direction he needed. The rest is up to him."

"Yes, I think so too. I'm sure he'll be fine. My intuition is never wrong about this sort of thing."

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Cynthia

"Is that you, <player>? Hello!"

"Did you come here to do some training as well?"

Sure did! :"I can tell you're passionate about training. Perhaps a veteran like myself could give you a piece of advice? When you give a command, pour as much emotion into it as you can. Pokémon respond much more into feelings than words alone."

Nope. :"I see. Just out for a nice, relaxing stroll, then? We could all use a little rest here and there. It's hard to pour your emotions into your battle commands when you're feeling exhausted."

"Well, I think it's about time I returned to my hotel."

"I hate to run off when we've only just begun to chat... but I have a pile of documents on my desk that is calling my name."

You're staying at a hotel? :"Yes."

What kind of documents? :"Mostly academic."

"As you know, I'm a Pokémon Trainer, but I'm also an archeologist. It's a very busy job."

"Sometimes it feels like my stack of research papers is never-ending... It just keeps growing and growing."

"And the moment I start organizing and cleaning up, I get distracted by something else."

I know the feeling. :"Frustrating, isn't it?! I mean, I can't throw them away if I might need them someday, right? I mean, I can't throw them away if I might need them someday, right?"

You can do it! :"You're right... I can! Cleaning is something you should put all your effort into, and make sure you get it all done at once. Otherwise, you'll end up doing the same thing, day after day."

"Naturally, I'm the one who has to clean my own home, eventually..."

"That's why staying in a hotel is so nice. The lovely staff there go in and clean my room while I'm gone."

"They tidy up all of my paperwork for me before my stacks get out of hand."

"Thanks to them, it's easier than ever to find the documents I'm looking for! They've helped me out so much."

"Likewise, when I was staying at my friend Caitlin's villa... it didn't take long for my room there to become a mess of scattered research papers."

"But Caitlin's butler was kind enough to tidy it up for me each day."

You aren't very good at picking up after yourself, huh? :"Mmm...no, maybe not."

You sound kind of messy. :"Mmm...maybe so."

"When it comes to Pokémon battling, I know exactly what I have to do."

"But cleaning? I barely even know where to start, let alone what works best."

"Speaking of which..."

"You saw my Garchomp use Earthquake a moment ago, didn't you?"

"How did that move make you feel while you were watching? I'm curious."

Pretty impressed!/I thought I could do better than that! :"Well, I'll find out what sort of trainer you are when we get the chance to battle..."

"I'm looking forward to competing in the PML. It'll be interesting to find out what battling means to each of the competitors."

"You're included, of course! The two of us have to face off at some point—I insist."

"I want you to let out all of your emotions. Show me who you truly are!"

"I won't let the battle end until I've had the chance to witness your true emotions!"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Sygna Suit Cynthia

"Are you both ready?"

"Very well. Then let the battle... begin!"

"Another battle well fought. You're making excellent progress, Kommo-o."

"Oh! <Player>! Hello!"

"Did you happen to see that battle just now?"

Kommo-o was amazing! :"Did you hear that, Kommo-o? What a compliment! And from <player>, no less."

Garchomp was looking great! :"Thank you! I'll make sure to pass on our compliment to her."

"I'm impressed you found this place. It's our secret training grounds."

"Since you can only bring a single partner to battles here on Pasio... I bring Kommo-o and Garchomp here often so they can do some sparring and compare their strength."

"Actually, since you're here, I ought to give you two a proper introduction!"

"This is Kommo-o. He and I partner up when I change into this sygna suit. I raised him from an Egg I received in Alola."

From an Egg?! :"That's right! He's come a long way. He hatched from that Egg as a little Jangmo-o, and now two evolutions later, just look at him!"

Was it tough raising him? :"Not in the slightest. It's been such a joy to watch him grow into the Pokémon he is today."

"It's hard to believe you were once that little Jangmo-o that used to struggle in our training sessions. You've come a long way since then!"

"He's been competing with Garchomp the moment he hatched."

"Their rivalry ran as deep as their bond. Not a day went by without him challenging Garchomp to a battle."

"And if I remember right, he would lose every time."

"Sounds like Kommo-o wants me to stop dredging up the past. Hehe! Such a sore loser, this one."

"Once he evolved into Kommo-o, though, that's when he really began to hold his own against Garchomp."

"Then one day, the sygna suit designer saw Kommo-o and offered to make an outfit for me to wear with him."

"From that moment, I decided I would take on the PML wearing this sygna suit, with Kommo-o at my side."

You've put a lot of trust in Kommo-o! :"He's earned it! He's the gutsiest Pokémon I know."

And a new sync pair was born! :"Yes, indeed. I want to take on new challenges with him as my partner, and I have no doubt that he'll live up to my expectations."

"But when I decided to partner up with Kommo-o, one thought did cross my mind... Namely, what about Garchomp?"

"On Pasio, the Pokémon that inspires a Trainer's sygna suit is meant to be their ace. Losing a battle while wearing a sygna suit is unacceptable."

"And for me, a Pokémon League Champion, that's especially true. So why did I not choose Garchomp when she's fought by my side for so long?"

"In the end, Kommo-o's example is what made me change my mind."

"As a Champion, I have a reputation to maintain. But if I played it safe just to defend my reputation, I'd be depriving myself of so many possibilities."

"If I stopped taking risks because I was afraid of losing face, what example would I be setting for other Trainers?" Certainly not one that befits a Champion!"

"A good Champion is prepared to face any and all challenges without fear of defeat! Like a little Jangmo-o challenging a full-grown Garchomp to battle every day!"

"Hehe. Sorry, I got a little too passionate just now."

You two are a great match! :"My thoughts exactly. Seeing how far he has come inspires me to do the same."

You have to work for Garchomp's sake, too! :"You're right! Garchomp won't accept anything less than my best."

"Yes, you're right, Kommo-o."

"I guess we should wrap this up. Kommo-o sounds eager to face some new opponents! Maybe this conversation lit a fire in him, too."

"And I'm not the type of Champion who's content to rest on my laurels, either. Kommo-o and I, we're going to keep charging ahead down the road of possibility!"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Sygna Suit Cynthia (Renegade)

"Thanks for joining me today! I hope it's not too much of a bother."

"I tend to notice things when you're around, so I figured I'd invite you."

"Now...I wonder what region and era these ruins are based on."

Aaaah!: "Oh! Sorry for surprising you like that."

What's that?!: "Sorry if that surprised you. That was quite sudden, wasn't it."

"This is my partner, Giratina."

"Giratina's actually from a different world, one on the reverse side of ours."

"It's able to move freely between our world and that other world..."

"But sometimes it even surprises me because it pops out of nowhere!"

"I'm sure it means no harm, though."

"You know, I've actually been to the world Giratina is from."

"Time didn't flow, and space wasn't stable... It was a world where the rules are broken."

"It was a space one might call the Distortion World"

"There are few existing theories as to why Giratina was in a world like that."

"According to one, Giratina was banished to another world for its violence."

"However, as I kept examining myths and reference materials from different angles, I started to uncover the truth."

"I think Giratina is actually a kind soul, watching over our world from the shadows to protect us."

"Oh! I guess Giratina went back to its world."

"Maybe it just dropped in the say hello to you, <player>."

So you're not always together?: "That's right. We spend a lot of time apart from each other. But...that doesn't mean I'm lonely."

Isn't it lonely when Giratina's gone?: "Oh, I'm actually OK with it."

"Even when we're worlds apart, we're always together in spirit."

"I know that Giratina will always be there for me."

"I'm sure it's even watching over us now, as we speak!"

"OK! That's enough of a break. Shall we get back to work?"

"I certainly can't leave here empty-handed. Giratina would have a good laugh at me."

• Random conversation

"Different Trainers have different feelings and approaches when it comes to Pokémon battling."

"Our Pokémon are on the receiving end of those feelings, and they fight for us wholeheartedly."

"So in a sense, watching a Pokémon while it's battling can actually tell you a lot about its Trainer, too."

• If spoken to again

"When you and your Pokémon are battling together, you two always look like you're having so much fun."

"It's part of why I love battling with you."

"It's easy to pour all your energy into something if you're having a great time doing it."

• Random conversation

"A mysterious power drew us to this place... But I wonder what influenced its creation."

"There are all sorts of diverse locations here, aren't there?"

"Pasio may be a man-made island, but I think it's been influenced by the mythology of other regions."

"There's so much to see here that it's hard to pick where to explore next."

"I've got a report I need to finish, but a little swimming at the beach sounds kind of nice, too. I did bring a bathing suit, after all..."

"Oh! Don't mind me. I'm just talking to myself over here!"

"There's so much variety here on Pasio. The creator must really have a mind for hospitality, assuming all of this was a conscious decision."

• Random conversation

"There's an ancient cave painting in my hometown. It's what first sparked my interest in studying ancient mythology."

"The artwork protrays an old Sinnoh legend. It's quite an impressive sight."

"It's a little out of the way, but I think it would be worth the trip to Celestic Town to see it next time you visit the Sinnoh region."

• If spoken to again

"It's a lot colder in Sinnoh than it is here on Pasio. Remember to bring a coat when you visit!"

"I'm so used to the colder climate there that places like Hoenn and Alola feel too warm."

• Random conversation

"All my Pokemon are amazing but Garchomp is definitely the ace of my team."

"Maybe that's why she's been such a ball of energy ever since we got to Pasio."

"It's up to me to channel all of that energy and make the most out of it in a battle."

• If spoken to again

"Back when she was a Gible, she'd gnaw on fabric, books, and even tables! It was a pain to deal with at the time, but she was just so cute..."

"Thinking back on those days always makes me laugh. She used to be such a naughty thing, but look at her now! My brilliant ace."

• Random conversation

"I'm the person I am today because of everything I've seen and experienced up until now..."

"which means that who we are and what we do today is going to change who we will be in the future."

"So I say live life to the fullest! Let's make sure we can look back on our pasts with a smile someday."

• If spoken to again

"Hmm... It's kind of hard to sum up my past in only a few words..."

"but it's a life I've built together with my Pokémon, so one thing I can say for sure is that it's amazing!"

• Random conversation

"Being in a place that was created just for Trainers is so exhilarating, isn't it?"

"Maybe it's all the enthusiasm in the air with so many Trainers and Pokémon milling about."

"A lot of my friends and colleagues have gathered here, all in one place."

"We'll have to stay on our toes if we don't want to lose!"

• If spoken to again

"Interacting with other Trainers and getting to know each other is so important--especially since we're all competitors in the end."

"The other day, I had a lovely time with Caitlin and a few other Trainers at the café where we went for a cup of tea..."

"Oh! And there's an amazing cake shop nearby as well! What else..."

"Hm? What's that smirk for? You don't think I spend ALL my time prancing around eating cake, do you?"

• Random conversation

"If you raise your Pokémon with love and kindness, it will return those feelings."

"My Pokémon are like my best friends— we've been journeying and battling together from the very beginning."

"I have absolute confidence in their abilities because of all the time we've spent together."

• If spoken to again

"You believe in your Pokémon and your team, and your Pokémon knows it! That's probably where it gets a lot of its strength."

"After all, being relied upon by others often motivates us to try even harder. Your Pokémon wants to do its very best for you!"

• Random Conversation (Sygna Suit)

"When I received this sygna suit, the designer told me to only wear it in battles where I need to go all out."

"But I always go all out in every battle. I'm not so clever that I'd hold back against my opponents."

"Even so, I wear this outfit as a reminder of my determination to never lose, no matter what."

"Was that too grandiose of me just now?"

• Random Conversation (Sygna Suit)

"Kommo-o likes when I wear this outfit."

"It's design was inspired by Kommo-o, so he probably feels a strong affinity toward it."

"The decorations on my waist and in my hair wear designed to resemble his scales."

• Random conversation (Sygna Suit)

"Back when Kommo-o was still Jangmo-o, he would challenge Garchomp almost every day."

"Jangmo-o usually fight among themselves to grow stronger. In that regard, I guess he saw Garchomp as a substitute."

"But the difference in their strength was very obvious. He would lose over and over, but he always got back up to fight again."

"He's a gutsy one. I could learn a thing or two from him."

• Random conversation (Sygna Suit)

"The moment a Pokemon evolves is a truly moving experience for me, no matter how many times I witness it."

"It's a very important milestone in that Pokemon's life--one it will remember forever."

"As a trainer, nothing makes me happier than being witness to that."

• Random Conversation (Sygna Suit)

"Do you have dreams or goals, <player>?"

"If not, you should set one--even a small one will surely make each day enjoyable."

"Having a dream or goal will reinvigorate you. It makes you want to work that much harder."

• Random conversation (Sygna Suit)

"I'm celebrated as a Champion, but I see that accomplishment as just one stop of my journey."

"That's not enough to satisfy me. I want to go even further."

"Kommo-o and I are aiming for the top. We can't afford to stop for even a moment."

• If spoken to again

"Coming to Pasio reminded me once again just how vast the world is."

"And there's so much in this world that's still unknown to me. Trainers I've never met, Pokemon I've never seen before..."

"By coming here, I've caught a glimpse of what's out there, waiting to be discovered. I wouldn't trade that experience for anything."

• Random conversation (Sygna Suit)

"Champions and members of the Elite Four from all over the world have assembled here on Pasio."

"I love it. There are so many opponents here for me to battle without holding anything back."

"I'm going to climb the ranks here like any other Trainer!"

• If spoken to again

"But I'm also keeping my eye on you as much as I am the Champions that are here."

"You see, whenever a major historical shift occurs, young people of conviction are said to always be at the heart of it."

"I have a hunch that you may become one of those young people."

• Random conversation (Renegade Sygna Suit)

"In myths, there are many accounts of Pokémon interacting with the rest of the world."

"Thus, learning about these myths allows you to learn more about different facets of world history."

"If you're interested in that, I'd be happy to explain more about it."

• Random conversation (Renegade Sygna Suit)

"Giratina lives in a world that exists on the reverse side of ours."

"It's a mysterious world, one that's both near and far from ours at the same time."

"For us, it's unreachable...but also closer than we may think."

"Quite poetic, isn't it?"

• Random conversation (Renegade Sygna Suit)

"This outfit's design is based on Giratina."

"And just like Giratina, who watches over us from the world on the other side of ours..."

"I hope to look deeper into the other sides of the myths I research as well."

• Random conversation (Renegade Sygna Suit)

"It's difficult to decipher a clear message from a wall mural in the same way you do when reading written text."

"But these murals have a strong impact on those who see them, and they evoke thoughts and feelings in a way words can't express."

• Random conversation (Renegade Sygna Suit)

"When I see that sparkle in your eyes, it reminds me of a Trainer I know."

"That Trainer and I met Giratina together. I still remember it vividly to this day."

• Random conversation (Renegade Sygna Suit)

"Have you ever thought that it'd be nice to meet a character from a story in real life?"

"I've always dreamed of meeting the Pokémon depicted in Sinnoh's myths."

"And now I've become a sync pair with Giratina. I never imagined it would actually happen."

• If spoken to again

"As long as you keep on dreaming, eventually, wishes do come true."

"That applies to you, too. You should pursue and focus on the things you love."

• Random conversation (Renegade Sygna Suit)

"There are Trainers who harbor so much hate for this world that they're plotting to recreate it."

"But they're wrong."

"The history of our world was built by everyone working together, hand in hand."

• If spoken to again

"When you meet wonderful people and Pokémon, I think your heart also changes for the better."

"If everyone's heart starts to change for the better, I believe the world will become a better place, too."

• Special log-in conversation (generic)

"Oh, hi, <player>! You look like you're ready for some fun today."

"What do you say we use that energy to go find a battle or two!"

• Special log-in conversation (generic) (Sygna Suit)

"Oh, hi, <player>. You're looking well today."

"Good battles come easy when you're feeling good yourself. Keep up the enthusiasm!"

• Special log-in conversation (generic) (Renegade Sygna Suit)

"Hi there, <player>. You made it."

"Care to join me on a little excursion around the island?"

• Special log-in conversation (morning)

"Good morning! You look like you're in a good mood. You must be doing well if you're up and about this early!"

• Special log-in conversation (morning)

"Good morning. Are you all set for today? I'm looking forward to exploring some new mysteries with you."

• Special log-in conversation (afternoon)

"I started doing some research on this island, and before I knew it, it was lunchtime! The more I learn, the more curious I get."

• Special log-in conversation (afternoon)

"Phew, I just finished organizing all of my research materials. I think I'm ready to go blow off some steam now."

• Special log-in conversation (evening)

"It looks like the sun's gone down. What an enchanting time to go on a stroll!"

• Special log-in conversation (evening)

"Great myths have been passed down throughout history by the light of a campfire."

• Special log-in conversation (morning) (Sygna Suit)

"I fell asleep doing research again last night. Make sure you have better sleep habits than I do, all right?"

• Special log-in conversation (afternoon) (Sygna Suit)

"They say procrastination is the thief of time... If I don't get things done while it's light out, they often don't get done at all."

• Special log-in conversation (evening) (Sygna Suit)

"In daylight, we depend on our eyes...but at night, our ears help us discover all sorts of new and wonderful things."

• Special log-in conversation (morning) (Renegade Sygna Suit)

"The sunrise before a big journey, the dawn of a new adventure... Mornings can rouse all sorts of emotions within us."

• Special log-in conversation (afternoon) (Renegade Sygna Suit)

"Did you know that the ruins they created on Pasio are based on real ruins found in other regions?"

• Special log-in conversation (evening) (Renegade Sygna Suit)

"I can tell by the look on your face that you and your partner conquered another hurdle today, didn't you."

• Special gift conversation

"Hey, I wanted to give you this. Do you think you can use it?"

"I don't really need it, but I didn't want it to go to waste, either. Will you take it?"

• After giving out item

"If I don't get rid of the things I'm not using, my room gets out of hand pretty quickly..."

"I mean, um, forget what I just said! Let's just keep that between you and me, OK?"

• Special gift conversation (Sygna Suit)

"I found something interesting I'd like to give to you."

• After giving out item

"I found that while I was tidying up my room. Thank you for taking it off my hands."

"I'm honestly not very good at being organized. I'm sure there's plenty more where that came from, so I'll give you whatever else I find!"

• Special gift conversation (Renegade Sygna Suit)

"Oh! There you are!"

"I found something nice and thought you might want to have it."

• After giving out item

"I hope you find that present useful."

• Special event blurb (New World Dilemma, Sygna Suit)

"I don't want to believe that he of all people has come to Pasio."

• Special event conversation (New World Dilemma, Sygna Suit)

"We need to find the person responsible for what happened at the beach. Let's split up into two groups so we cover more ground."

"But if you find the culprit before I do, be careful. If it's who I think it is, he's a very dangerous man."
