Story Event - Fight or Fright

• Off to Find Some Candy!

Did you come here alone?: "Ahh, we were wondering where you ran off to, Shauntal... What's all this, then, hm?"

"That’s all fine and dandy, as long as you haven't forgotten the reason we came here in the first place."

"Candy? Ah, you mean that "fight or fright" thing... Sorry, child. That’s not why we’re here."

Me too!: "I had a feeling you'd say that. What do you think, Morty? Shauntal?"

That sounds like fun!: "Do you want to join in, too, then? Morty, Shauntal, what do you think?"

• The Midnight Parade

"Oh ho! I think that would be wise, Morty! Best you save that secret training of yours for another day."

"Now, then! I think it's time we show Pasio just how magnificent we Ghost-type users can be."

"I guess it's good to do something festive every now and again, eh?"

Pokémon Center

• Random conversation

"Golbat in the Kanto region look scary, but when you get used to them, they can be quite sweet."

"They'll come right down and land on your head and give you playful little bites."

"If you're not watching them closely, though, they'll start to suck your blood, so you have to keep an eye on them."

• If spoken to again

"For as big as their mouths are, Golbat have pretty short fangs."

"But you still need to be careful around them. Their fangs are thick, so it's tough to get them out once they've sunk them into you."

"Although that is one of the things I find cute about them."

• Random conversation

"When I was young, I was reckless at times, and I had the perfect rival."

"And now I've got you youngsters."

"I wonder how much fun I'll have against you."

• If spoken to again

"The man I accepted as my rival was really strong."

"And now he's just some old duff..."

"Well, at least you've got some pluck. I don't think you'll turn out like him."

"You're not a Trainer if you don't battle! He really is such a waste of talent..."

• Random conversation

"Pasio is the place to be right now, but night will fall here, too."

"Even in the brightest of light, there is always darkness lurking nearby."

"On nights when shadows seem to move on their own and cold winds are blowing, take care to watch for what's behind you."

"Mind that ominous lights don't come to steal your soul away."

• If spoken to again

"How well can you handle Ghost-type Pokémon, child?"

"They can sense a weak heart and will take advantage of it. You must always have a strong heart."

"Once you've grown closer to one, there's no longer anything to be afraid of."

• Special log-in conversation (generic)

"If it isn't <player>! I'm so happy to see you here!"

"Keep up with your training! If you do, you'll surely get stronger and stronger!"

• Special log-in conversation (evening)

"My Pokémon's energy always shoots up as soon as the sun goes down."

• Special gift conversation

"Aha! Great timing—I have something for you."

"This is one of my favorite items. I'm sure you'll be able to put it to good use."

"Some things never change."

"Like people and items!"
