• After being defeated

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal

• Being defeated

"Awesome. I've burned out... You've earned VolcanoBadge!"

No: "All righty, then!"

Yes: "No need to be shy, then. Step right up!"

• At the start of the quiz challenge

"Here we go! This is the Cinnabar Island Gym Pokémon Quiz! Challengers get asked five questions that they have to answer. Get one right, and you get a Blaine doll! Get a question wrong, and you'll have to battle one of my students here. But if you manage to beat them...then don't worry—you still get a Blaine doll! Think you can collect five Blaine dolls?!"

"Hah! Well done, returning here to my Gym! You're the one who retrieved the key to this Gym from the Pokémon Mansion! Did you see anything interesting while you were in there? That place still holds the remnants of my old friend's research! By the way, I've been hearing an interesting rumor floating around recently. You wouldn't happen to know a young lady named Green, would you? ...Hmph, well, it's not as though I really know the whole story anyway. More importantly, since you came all this way, we should have a battle! Hah!"

• Before battle (subsequent rematches)

"The Cinnabar Island volcano seems quite active today! Which means that my Fire-type Pokémon will be in top shape today, too! Let's go! Hah!"

• Being defeated

"Hah! I'm all fired up!"
