Pokémon Sword and Shield

Motostoke Stadium

"I was endorsed by the chairman himself."

"In other words, among all those elite enough to get an endorsement, I'm the most elite of all."

"So why don't you clear off and not try talking to me again, would you?"

"It's positively criminal of you, wasting the time of someone as important as I am."

Galar Mine

"Coming this way? I'd advise against it."

"Any trainer with a Wishing Star is in for a beating from me and my Pokémon!"

• Before battle

"You."

"You're the Gym Challenger endorsed by the Champion, aren't you?"

"What a joke."

"You are aware that the chairman is more important than the Champion, right?"

"I was chosen by the chairman himself, so that makes me more amazing than you!"

"I suppose I should prove beyond doubt just how pathetic you are and how strong I am."

• In battle

After the first non-KO hit on the player's Pokémon: "I'm just giving your Pokémon a little chance to shine. That's all."

Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "Oh dear, what have I been doing? Well, whatever. Let's just get this over with."

Upon using a special move: "This is a good time to test out a move I’ve been interested in lately."

Upon being defeated: "I see... Well, that's fine. I wasn't really trying all that hard anyway."

• After being defeated

"Well, that was unexpected. I suppose you're more able than I thought."

"Naturally, I'll remember your battle style and strategies now."

"I'm sure to easily defeat you if and when we face each other in an official match."

"Now that we've established that, I won't waste any more time on you."

"I've already gathered every Wishing Star in this area."

Hulbury

"I promise to do everything in my power to assist you, too, Chairman!"

"Bede, sir."

"I will prove your faith in me was well placed, Chairman. I won't lose to anyone!"

"Anyway, I will be on my way now."

Galar Mine No. 2

"You again..."

"I'd feel sorry for my Pokémon if I made them take part in a battle against low-level opponents."

"I'm not in the mood to deal with weaklings right now."

"Then again, I suppose it's a form of mercy to crush weak opponents early on."

"If you're under the misguided impression that you're stronger than me, then surely you would be up for a Pokémon battle."

Naturally!: "It's utterly inconceivable that I, the challenger chosen by the chairman, would lose!"

Hold on a minute...:"Hmph! I've no time to deal with pathetic Trainers!"

• In battle

After the first non-KO hit on the player's Pokémon: "Hmph. Looks like you've grown a bit. Only a little bit, though!"

Upon using a special move: "It's not every day I get to battle you, so I suppose I may as well try out this move."

Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "Excellent! Not everyone can corner my team like this!"

Upon being defeated: "You showed at least a little effort, so I decided I should let you win!"

• After being defeated

"Ah, pardon me. It seems I must take back my words."

"You're not weak—you just lack talent. Your chances of completing the Gym Challenge are pretty slim, I must say. Here, I'll give you this. Something to show you at least tried."

"Now, where shall I go next to collect Wishing Stars?"

Wild Area

"Don't waste your efforts. It's not like either of you would ever make it through the Gym Challenge, anyway."

"The Champion really must have been off his rocker to endorse the likes of you."

"I mean, it seems Hop here can't even throw a Poké Ball properly."

"How tiresome... Fine. I'll battle you over there. Maybe that will help you finally understand just how weak you are."

"All this prattle about <player> and the Champion and whatnot... Do you not have anything of your own to show?"

Hammerlocke Hills

"Oh, it's you... I doubt Hop would be coming. It's only natural."

"After such a humiliating defeat, there's no way he could look the Champion in the eye. I'm sure he'll withdraw from the challenge."

"Here, just look at the Gym Badges I've already won."

"Anyway, I have a meeting with the chairman, so I must excuse myself."

Hammerlocke

"Mr. Chairman! I've been collecting both Wishing Stars and Gym Badges as fast as I can!"

"If I gather enough Wishing Stars, that'll help solve the problem that's been bothering you, right, Mr. Chairman?"

"With all due respect, sir, I was able to show Hop, one of the Champion-endorsed Trainers, just how outclassed he was."

"I'm sure I'll be able to defeat the Champion. No, I WILL defeat the Champion!"

Stow-on-Side

"Destroy it! Destroy it all! We're going to find those Wishing Stars!"

"We've got to bring the chairman more Wishing Stars if we want to please him!"

"Copperajah! If you are truly the chairman's Pokémon, then you should feel grateful for this chance to help him find Wishing Stars!"

"Oh my. You again... So you think that you can start collecting Wishing Stars now and get in the chairman's favor?"

"That's the way of things, is it? I see. So you do have some cunning in you. But I won't have it! I won't allow anyone to stand in my way!"

• In battle

After the first non-KO hit on the player's Pokémon: "Hmph. I've already seen more than enough to judge you and your team's abilities."

Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "I have to win this for the chairman! Do you really think I'd let you keep me from everything I want?"

Upon being defeated: "This has to be some kind of mistake. I demand a do-over."

• After being defeated

"But why...? How can this be? How could someone like you get in my way?"

"I was the one chosen by the chairman... I was the one who was to defeat the Champion..."

"I am one of the elite—someone who can shoulder the future of the Galar region!"

• After being confronted by Oleana and Chairman Rose

"Who cares for some ancient ruin when the next thousand years are at stake?!"

"Did you stand in the path of a Pokémon's Simple Beam or something? How do you expect to support the chairman with that sort of thinking?"

• After being disqualified from his Gym Challenge

"You...you must be joking, right? You're disqualifying me from the Gym Challenge? But you're the one who endorsed me! There are a hundred different ways we could sort this out... Why are you choosing the worst possible option?!"

Hammerlocke

"Come to gawk at me now that I've had my Challenge Band taken away and my Gym Challenger status revoked? Can you really afford to waste time like this?"

Of course!: "Well I suppose so. You no longer have to worry about catching up with me, after all."

Not really...: "I commend your humility. It is appropriate for a Trainer of your...limited talents."

"I'll have you know, though, that I haven't given up! I must become the Champion in order to help out the chairman! I will go and ask him to let me rejoin the Gym Challenge!"

• After being spotted by Opal

"Huh? Wha—?!"

"M-Ms. Opal? What in the world has gotten into you?!"

"Are you... Are you testing me? Very well, I accept! In fact, I plan on making sure you see my full talents and tell me everything you know about the Wishing Stars!"

Wyndon Stadium

• During the Champion Cup

• Upon interrupting the finals

"A moment, if I may. Does anyone here even remember me? I am Bede, the challenger who was forced to withdraw from the Gym Challenge!"

"I have a score to settle with Challenger <player> here. I'm aware that this is against the rules, but I must ask nonetheless... Let me battle him/her! I'll stake my career as a challenger on this battle. If I lose, I'll retire from being a Trainer."

"I know this is ridiculous of me. But I had to say something...do something! Ever since you showed up, everything I've done has gone wrong!"

"It was Oleana who asked me to gather Wishing Stars for the chairman, but then the chairman himself disowned me... And then that strange old lady comes out of nowhere and drags me into a boot camp on Fairy-type Pokémon! Do you have any idea what I've been through?! Covered in pink, dealing with quizzes and battles with Fairy-type Pokémon every day! And here I am, pouring my heart out to you... when I've never lost my cool before!"

• Before battle

"My will hasn't been broken yet!"

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "We've faced too much to quit now! We've got no choice but to win!"

Upon sending out last Pokémon: "Tsk! What's with that calm expression... Think you're gonna win?"

Upon Gigantamaxing Hatterene: "We'll show you a truly great pink. It's time for my dear Hatterene to Gigantamax!"

Upon first using Hatterene's G-Max Smite: "I learned this move from that old gran! I plan on making it my own!"

Upon being defeated: "I couldn't win, but at least I was able to show everyone how great Fairy types are."

• After being defeated

"Well, I lost..."

"B-but this isn't what I planned! If I was able to defeat you, then everything would be fine. Even if I lost, I was going to use retiring as an excuse to get away from that old lady! You just keep messing up my plans! With everyone cheering me on like this, I have no choice but to continue my training as the Fairy-type Gym Leader! Though I suppose with my talents, I'll be able to overtake Ms. Opal in no time."

• During Champion Cup rematches

• Before battle

"It's time to prove I'm a notch above the competition to everyone in the Galar region. Though I suppose everyone should know by now."

• In battle

Upon being defeated: "Why did I have the misfortune of being born in the same time period as you...?"

• After being defeated

"If it weren't for you, then I could prove beyond doubt that I am the best... Still, I do enjoy my battles with you...to a degree."

Ballonlea Stadium

• In the post-game

"Hmph. You lot."

"You think I, the elite Fairy-type Gym Leader, would have any kind of trouble?"

"Please...please don't tell me you came here to help? First of all, you're a bit late to be of any use, and second, I didn't need any help."

"Oleana tricked and used me... From now on, only I decide how I live! And I think what I should do now is have a battle with you, <player>!"

"Now that you mentioned it...I supposed you did."

"But this has nothing to do with Ms. Opal. This battle's for me! Now don't dillydally! Your only option is to accept!"

• After his challenge is accepted

"My Pokémon and I have risen from the ashes... I'll grant you a brief glimpse at how amazing we've become."

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "My days as a Gym Leader have made me stronger than you."

Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "You just might be the strongest Champion in Galarian history."

That's right!: "I'll carve my name into Galar's history, too. By defeating you!"

I've still got a ways to go!: "I'll be sure to draw out every last bit of strength from you... and then triumph!"

Upon being defeated: "This must be some mistake! I mean, I'm the one who's the Gym Leader!"

• After being defeated

"Thank you for the battle. I can now accept you as the Champion. It's painful to admit, but I've come to realize a few of my weaknesses. But I'll keep getting stronger. I'll reach the pinnacle of what Fairy types can do. "

• After giving the player his rare League Card

"Now then, as the Gym Leader, I will do my duty and clean the stadium."

Isle of Armor

• When first spoken to

"What are you doing here? Did that old gran make you come stand guard here, too? March you all the way to the Isle of Armor so you could reach new heights of pink... or whatever?"

"No, never mind, that's nothing to do with you. Must be just a coincidence."

• If found in the Fields of Honor

"I know there's a dojo near here, but I'll pass. I can't imagine anything more stressful than living and training in that sort of big group."

• If found in the Forest of Focus

"My Hatterene was given to me by the chairman. We've been through thick and thin together — she's a very important Pokémon to me."

• If found on Challenge Road

"This area looks just like that town with the mural. Gosh, what was I playing at when I went and destroyed that thing..."

• If found in the Courageous Cavern

"You and I seem to run into each other in caves a lot, don't we? It must be fate. Not the good kind, mind."

• If found on Challenge Beach or the Training Lowlands

"What a carefree, tedious island this is! It makes me wonder if there's anything at all to be gained from coming here."

• If found in the Potbottom Desert

"Hatterene seems right at home in places where there aren't many living things about. They spare her the stress of sensing loads of emotions all around her."

• During harsh sunlight or clear skies

"I'm itching to show you the new stronger me I've become from training out here on this island!"

• During overcast conditions

"Ugh, this humidity's got my hair all frizzy. Even a Gym Leader like me is trying to look his best — I hope that, as Champion, you take extra care to be presentable!"

• During rain or thunderstorms

"Out for a nice carefree stroll in this bad weather? You're certainly an odd one... aren't you?"

• During a sandstorm

"Ugh! I've got sand in my hair! If I don't wash it out carefully, it'll be stuck in there for days!"

• During foggy conditions

"This fog always eludes you, no matter how long you chase after it... It reminds me of you... How disagreeable."

Wyndon Stadium (Galarian Star Tournament)

• During the opening ceremony

"Hrmph..."

• In the lobby before the invitational tournament

"Partner with you? Why would I do that? I can't crush you in battle if we're on the same side, now, can I?"

Partnered with Bede

• If talked to in the locker room

• Before the first round

"Seriously? Wasn't there anyone else willing to partner with you?"

• Before the second round

"At least you won't hold me back in battle, like most of these other Trainers would have done."

• Before the final round

"The final match, is it? It doesn't really matter, though. Winning with you at my side won't prove my strength to anyone."

• On the field

• Before the first round

"I'll appreciate it if you do your best. That way, I can shine even brighter by comparison."

• Before the second round

"Please don't let your guard down just because you're the Champion."

• Before the final round

"I hope the victory celebrations are being prepared properly for us."

• Upon winning the tournament

• First time

"I suppose a win is a win, though it doesn't sit very well with me that I have to share this victory with you of all people..."

Facing against Bede

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon

With Avery^Sh: "*tsk*... Those floating balls are so distracting. Still, we're going to win!"

With Klara^Sw: "You're a little disquieting, you know... Just try not to get in my way."

With Opal: "I don't think that's a move, Ms. Opal... No matter—I'm sure we'll win!"

With Shielbert: "What?! This isn't bed head! That nonsense on your head is worse, anyway!"

Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "*sigh*... You think you can win, don't you? I suppose I should correct such wishful thinking!"

Upon Gigantamaxing Hatterene: "Let's blot them out with our color, Hatterene! Time to Gigantamax!"

Upon using G-Max Smite for the first time: "If you think you can avoid this, go ahead and try! Crush them with G-Max Smite!"

Upon being defeated: "I suppose I'll concede to your team...this time!"

• After being defeated

• In the first round

"Not even one victory for us? I can see even the crowd is upset with this improbable turn of events!"

• In the second round

"You defeated us, so you'd better win the final match. I won't stand for any other result!"

• In the final round

"Well, of course I was going to let you win. It wouldn't do for the Champion to lose like this."

Field conversations (with or against the player)

• Against Hop

"I should hope you're at least a little bit stronger now, Mr. Wannabe Professor Hop."

• Against Klara^Sw

"Your poison could be trouble. I think I'll knock you out of the match first!"

• Against Opal

"I'll show them the results of your training, old la—I mean, Ms. Opal!"

Story Event - Revel in Rivalry

• Something Missing

"I...I don’t believe it! I...lost?"

"Oh, you must have an eye for talent!"

"It's true, I'm the elitest of all of the elite...and it is I who carries the future of Galar!"

"This loss was just a fluke. I'll be sure that next time—"

"Wha—?!"

"How rude. It's almost as if you're insinuating that I've got a flaw of some sort."

"Hmph. Very well. In any case, this sounds like the perfect opportunity to showcase my talent."

"I'll join this tournament and prove that I'm already perfectly perfect!"

• Bede's Team

"Hmph. I'm the strongest one here, so you two should adjust to ME."

"Everything will work itself out if you just do that!"

"Fine. If that's what you need, I'll take you on!"

"Fine. That's acceptable."

"Oh, we'll have no trouble at all if it's Hop's team we're battling."

"I can't believe it... I lost to Hop, of all people?!"

"... ... ..."

"Like I've already said before, just be a good sport and follow MY lead!"

• A Proper Goal

"Why do I have to go through the hassle of teaming up, anyway..."

"Oh. Marnie... And if my memory serves me correctly, that must be Barry and Gladion."

"Well...yes, I suppose you could say that."

"No. Far from it, actually. It's the worst."

"Why did this have to be a team tournament?"

"I would've been fine if I were battling on my own..."

"Teaming up is nothing but a pain in the neck."

"What?"

"So...you're shouldering the hopes of your hometown when you battle here?"

"We weren't fighting!"

"She's trying to get stronger... Not for her own sake but to make her hometown better..."

"I suppose the difference between us is the scope of our ambition."

"Then...what's a bigger goal I could aim for?"

• The Starting Line

"... ... ... Today, I'm here to win."

"But if we're really in this to win..."

"we've got to cooperate as a team."

"Adapting my own battle style to match someone else may end up being a valuable experience."

"Although for me, it's more so that we can dominate these matches!"

"I refuse to continue losing in such a disgraceful manner."

"I'll hold you to that. Don't even think about slowing us down."

Wha—?!""

• All Together
• Off-screen, as "???"

"Blue!"

• After appearing, as Bede

"We were worried about you being alone, so we came to check on you."

"What did you just say?"

"Well...I suppose it HAS made me stronger... Just a little bit."

"But this has nothing to do with the tournament."

"Since...we had to leave the tournament behind for this."

"No need to tell me."

"How very unfortunate..."

"It appears you've chosen the wrong team to mess with."

Story Event - Gather Up! Dream Duo!

• Rapidash and the Elitist
• Off-screen, as "???"

"There was a crowd, so I came to see what kind of skilled Trainer would be here, but..."

• After appearing, as Bede

"Turns out it's just an idol."

"What a disappointment... It doesn't seem like there's any point in battling."

"Huh, a Rapidash of a rare color. But my–"

"H-huh?"

"You're quite a "unique" individual..."

"Speaking with you somehow just doesn't work for me."

"Reminds me of..."

"*sigh* Nevermind. Good luck, I suppose, with your idol activities."

• Outfit Delivery!

"What's with this crowd?"

"Oh, those two... That's today?"

"Well, in that case, you should move them with a Pokémon battle."

"Hm, I see..."

"I guess that makes sense considering the enthusiasm I used to see during my Gym Challenge."

"Well then, allow me to give you a bit of a helping hand..."

"with Hatterene's psychic powers!"

"Making a person float over a short distance is easy..."

"when you're the partner Pokémon of an elite Trainer like me!"

• New Year, New Show

"This enthusiasm... Not half bad."

"I suppose it wouldn't be a terrible way to burn some time."

Neo Champions - Fight for the Future Together

• Challengers Assemble

"We have to beat them, huh."

• Off-screen, as "???"

"My oh my..."

"If you haven't decided on a teammate, shall I give you a hand?"

• After appearing, as Bede

"A hand from myself and Articuno, the most elite sync pair of them all!"

• Motley Trio, Champion Trio

"How about it, you two? If you team up with me, I won't accept defeat."

"There simply wasn't anyone who could match my skills."

• Off-screen

"I was troubled by Articuno's behavior of toying with people."

• On-screen

"*sigh* Please don't hold me back..."

• The Second Neo Champion Stadium

"We won't win by just attacking randomly."

"Victor always makes the optimal choice in battle, and he usually takes the win."

"Just thinking about it is getting on my nerves."

"Let's see..."

"There are times when he overthinks tactics, which can slightly delay his instructions to his Pokémon."

"I see. Good plan."

"We might be able to catch the three of them off guard that way."

"Of course. I won't tolerate failure."

"I'll cover the heat of the crowd in the color of Bede!"

• How to Beat a Champion

"Heh. Now, time to begin..."

"Articuno! Stop Rillaboom from moving!"

"Overthinking much, Victor?"

"Should you really be looking away, Gloria?"

"You're next!"

"None of you are foolish enough to fall for the same thing twice."

"No need to worry. I wouldn't make a fool of myself."

Special Battle Event - Challenge Galar's Worthiest

• The Best Battle!
• Wearing his Champion outfit

"No matter how much one trains, there will always be a winner and a loser... The world of battling is cruel indeed."

"As Neo Champions, it's our duty to teach you that lesson."

"Now, now... Just a moment. Perhaps you should leave this to me and just stand back and observe."

"You were completely lost when you went up against Articuno and I, weren't you, Mr. "Professor in Training"?"

"Urk... W-well, that's..."

"Hmph. I suppose we've no choice but to leave the decision in <player>'s hands."

Story Event - We Should Battle!

• Right Person, Right Place
• Off-screen, as "???"

"Hold on a second."

• After appearing, as Bede

"I, Bede, will be your challenger!"

"Excuse me—you don't get to decide everything. I saw her first."

"Huh?"

• Full of Excitement!

"Of course."

"I was chosen as a Neo Champion of Pasio, so I am the most elite of all."

"Hmph."

"How so?"

"Well then, you're very lucky to have met an elite like me so soon after arriving on Pasio."

"If you're a Champion, you must have struggled to find an opponent who's your equal."

"Yeah. They're not as good as me, but there are quite a few that have some skill."

"Wh— Don't look at me like that!"

"Sadly, I'm not free either..."

"As I said, I have other things to—"

"Listen to what I'm saying! My answer is no!"

"Besides, I have yet to deem you worthy of the title of Champion—"

"What a hassle... Fine, then! I guess I have no choice."

"*sigh* If you're teaming up with me, know that I won't accept defeat."

• A Fellow Battle Enthusiast

"They're very similar..."

"It seems so..."

"My, my... I think my days are going to be busy for a while..."

• The Best Stage Ever!

"Of course. If we're entering, we have to."

"Who are these bumpkins?"

"They don't look like they've been onstage before."

"Both of you had some fairly good attacks there."

"We're used to it by now."

• Opponents, Friends, Rivals

"You've teamed up with me, so there won't be any ifs. We WILL win."

"Hm... They are worthy opponents."

"Well, though imperfect, we are a team..."

"Well, I think you did pretty well for yourself."

"*sigh* I was worried over nothing..."

Neo Champions - Three Trainers, Three Minds

• Different Strokes

"You two are lucky you get to train with the most elite Trainer of all. Me!"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Bede

"I feel sorry for you. This match was over before it began."

"But still, I was hoping for a bit more of a challenge."

"If it's a rematch you want, I'll accept. But no matter how many times you challenge me, the result will always be the same."

"Wherever that lot may show up, I'll come to teach them a lesson!"

Were you just battling?: "Yes, I was... Does that mean you missed my magnificent match?"

"Well, that's a shame."

Was that Team Break?: "Ah, yes... I believe that's what they called themselves."

"I've been using Team Break as my opponents for training, as a means to test my skill."

"I want to see how far my training with the old lady can take me."

"That lot are convenient because they're so easy to find."

"I've been going around defeating Team Break members who've been messing with other sync pairs."

"However, as I've been stacking up victories, it seems a rumor has started..."

"I've apparently become notorious for intervening in battles involving Team Break members."

"It would be fine if it were just a rumor, but it seems that people have come to expect a performance from me."

"It's quite troublesome."

How do you know where Team Break is going to appear?: "Do you find it suspicious?"

How do you know where the battles are taking place?: "It's simple."

"Gigantamax Hatterene can sense the emotions of creatures from a distance."

"I just rush to where she senses hostile emotions, and that's where I find these battles."

"As I'm gaining experience from each battle..."

"Hatterene is also improving her ability to sense emotions!"

"However, Team Break are proving to be somewhat lackluster opponents."

"That battle just now has left me feeling unsatisfied."

"Well...I suppose there may be some benefit to continuing these battles, then."

"I can't help it if people have high expectations of me!"

"In order to expand my knowledge of Fairy-type Pokémon..."

"and to improve my teamwork with my partner..."

"I will challenge Team Break, wherever they may appear!"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Bede (Champion)

"Gloria. You were truly trying to take us out, weren't you."

"I simply won't allow myself to lose, either."

"Articuno is prideful and elegant. Defeat doesn't suit it one bit."

"Hm? That look in your eyes... You want to know more about me and Articuno, don't you."

"Very well. I don't usually do this, but I'll make an exception and explain."

"I met Articuno while training in the Crown Tundra back in Galar."

"I'd hoped to catch it, but as I made my approach, it made copies of itself and started toying with me!"

"Of course, I'm not one to be made a fool of, so I couldn't help but take offense."

"I chased it all over the Crown Tundra until it finally acknowledged me."

"What is it? I can tell you want to say something."

You're both so refined.: "Indeed. So you do understand."

You two are similar.: "Oh, you've noticed too? Yes, we both have a bit of class to us. We're exactly the same in that way."

"Because we're so similar, we make a pretty strong sync pair together!"

"Articuno has become a reliable partner Pokémon."

"And since it's a Psychic-type Pokémon, not a Fairy type..."

"this is a chance for my potential to grow even more!"

"Before I was scouted by the old lady..."

"I mostly battled with just Psychic-type Pokémon."

"Now that I've mastered Fairy-type Pokémon, my next goal is to master Psychic types, too!"

"Once I've mastered both types, I'll be invincible! Nobody will be able to defeat me!"

"You two won't even stand a chance."

"<player>, you'd do well to remember this, too..."

"WE'RE the sync pair you should strive to beat!"
