Slippery Slope

"Come on, Dad! Lay off and quit following me already!"

"I'm gonna go on a Dynamax Adventure in the Max Lair and I don't need you breathing down my neck! I'm here to battle loads and loads of rare Dynamax Pokémon!"

"What a generous and totally unwanted offer! 'Fraid I've got to say "no, thanks"!"

"Gah! I'll take a hard pass on that, thanks..."

"Excuse me! Hello? Yes, you—the boy/girl over there! My dad is stubborn as steel, and he won't leave me alone! Back me up, would you?"

Yes: "Brilliant! Have a great time with this geezer, then!"

No: "What? Are you really brushing me off?! That's ridiculously depressing!"

"Huh? Have you come around on helping me after all?"

Yes: "Brilliant! Have a great time with this geezer, then!"

No: "What? Are you really brushing me off?! That's ridiculously depressing!"

Max Lair

"Hang on—I recognize you! Are you here for a Dynamax Adventure, too? Wicked! Guess we're on the same wavelength! I'm Peonia. Nice to properly meet you! What about you? What's your name?"

I'm <player>!: "Wow, what a perfect name for you! It really suits you!"

Wotcher! Name's <player>!: "Pffft! That how you always talk? It's not bad!"

"So is my dad on his way here, too? I haven't seen him... Has he got turned around and wound up back at the entrance? Listen—sorry for using you to distract my old man back there. He's as stubborn as a Mudbray! Things go all right after I left?"

"What? You beat my old man?! You sure pulled a blinder there!" (If the player defeats Peony)

"What? You held your own against my old man?!" (If the player loses to Peony, alternate)

"He used to be a Gym Leader, you know. Even on holiday, he's no pushover! Y'know, my dad was going mad with excitement for this trip. He kept going on about how he'd planned for us to check out local legends on this super-intense adventure tour-"Adven-tour" as he calls it... But I mean, come on! What girl my age would be caught dead doing some naff thing like that with her dad? Besides, I really fancy having more battles with Dynamax Pokémon! Ahhh, the thrill of battling one of those massive, towering Pokémon... Just thinking about it gets me pumped! Hee hee! You know what? I've just had a thought! You're a pretty fierce Trainer, right? Then I bet you could handle takin' my place on my old man's Adven-tour!"

Sounds like great fun!: "Too right it does! It's a brilliant idea, If I do say so myself! He's so hyped up about all this. It'd be a shame to just leave him on his own. And who knows? You could end up running into a Legendary Pokémon! How about I meet back up with you two after I've had my own fun in the Max Lair? Go on, then. Enjoy your twosome tour of legends! Tell my old man the deal and all that!"

Rather not, thanks: "Oh, no need to worry! He'll take good care of you... despite all appearances to the contrary."

"Ugh. Daaad! People can hear you all the way outside, you know!"

"Huh! This place isn't bad! So this is where you're staying? Oh hey, <player>! Fancy meetin' you outside the Max Lair for once!"

Yeah, it's been a while!: "Hehe! You're really on my wavelength."

What took you?: "Heh, yeah, sorry for all that!"

"So you actually kept my old man company! Cheers, I owe you one! I've had my fill of Dynamax Adventures now... So I thought I may as well try one of those what-d'you-call-'em tours my old man was going on about."

"Huh? What? Why'd everyone suddenly go quiet?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait one second! You'll "come up with" legends? Also, that's way too close! I need some personal space here!"

"What in the world?! Are you trying to turn me into a disco ball or something? Why have I got to wear this golden one when yours is normal?"

"Ugh! It's things like this! I've changed my mind! Here—you can have this!"

"I'm heading back to my own adventure! Time to catch some more Dynamax Pokémon!"

• Random quotes, if talked to

"Oh, hey, <player>. You all right? Me, I'm carrying on like usual, I suppose. According to that scientist lady, the first Legendary Pokémon sighted down here was Solgaleo."

"Oh, hey, <player>. You all right? Me, I'm carrying on like usual, I suppose. That scientist lady apparently used to work at a lab in the Alola region! Doesn't Alola sound absolutely brilliant? Just think... All the malasadas you can eat!"

"Oh, hey, <player>. You all right? Me, I'm carrying on like usual, I suppose. Why d'you think so many Legendary Pokémon hang around in the Max Lair anyway?"

"Oh, hey, <player>. You all right? Me, I'm carrying on like usual, I suppose. The trick to having a good Dynamax Adventure? Well, I guess you ought to keep a close eye on how the Pokémon inside handle different types!"

"Oh, hey, <player>. You all right? Me, I'm carrying on like usual, I suppose. The trick to having a good Dynamax Adventure? Well, you can really turn up the excitement by usin' a move like Max Knuckle to raise ally Pokémon's Attack stats!"

"Oh, hey, <player>. You all right? Me, I'm carrying on like usual, I suppose. The trick to having a good Dynamax Adventure? Well, using moves like Reflect or Light Screen to stave off some damage is a big help."

"Oh, hey, <player>. You all right? Me, I'm carrying on like usual, I suppose. Hey, have you heard the rumors about this long-haired woman? Apparently, night after night, she visits a grave in the tundra, always looking for something..."

"Oh, hey, <player>. You all right? Me, I'm carrying on like usual, I suppose. So I was once on this Dynamax Adventure, and my teammate's Oranguru had the move Instruct. That move let it give the other Pokémon orders. It was a massive help!"

"Oh, hey, <player>. You all right? Me, I'm carrying on like usual, I suppose. You know how Pokémon down in the Max Lair are always Dynamaxing? Think there's some massive Wishing Star deep underground or something?"

"Oh, hey, <player>. You all right? Me, I'm carrying on like usual, I suppose. I really want to use an Ability Patch on my dear Tyrantrum. That'd give it a much easier time using Head Smash. It sure loves that move!"

"Oh, hey, <player>. You all right? Me, I'm carrying on like usual, I suppose. That bloke over there's a bit funny, isn't he? Probably not as funny as my old man, to be fair..."

"Oh, hey! It's you, <player>! Listen—I've found <Pokémon> down in the Max Lair! If you like, I'll tell you where <Pokémon> is in exchange for 5 pieces of Dynite Ore!"

Yes:

No: "Are you absolutely certain? Don't come crying to me if you regret it later!"

She traveled to the Crown Tundra hoping to try out Dynamax Adventures, only for her overbearing father Peony to demand they participate in a father-daughter tour of the area. While on a train, Peonia encountered Hop, Bede, and Marnie, whom she asked keep her hidden. They agreed, but upon noticing Peony's resemblance to Rose, Bede's dedication to the chairman led him to exposing Peonia. At the station, Peony agreed to a battle with Marnie on the condition that if he lost, Peonia would be allowed to go where she wanted. Marnie eventually won, earning Peonia her freedom.
