"Oh, you could hear my battle shouts?"
"Whenever I try to exert myself to the fullest, that sort of shout naturally comes out."

  • Off-screen
"Ha ha ha!"
  • After appearing, as Bruno
"Who would have thought I would find Rage Candy Bars on Pasio!"
"Ah, it's been too long since I tasted this! No need to be polite! Have some yourself!"
They any good?/What are Rage Candy Bars?: "Ha ha ha..."
"Wha—?! <player>!"
"These are Rage Candy Bars! They are my favorite!"
"I lost myself in the excitement of being able to eat these..."
"I'm embarrassed you had to see that."
Nah, don't sweat it.: "I appreciate that."
I must admit I was surprised.: "Yes... I know it is vastly different from how I normally act."
"I lost myself too much."
"But that's behind us now. I welcome you, <player>!"
"Have some Rage Candy Bars. Relax with us."
"Machamp looks happy to see you as well."
Don't mind if I do.: "If you have no urgent matters to attend to, rest."
"A moment of respite will do wonders for you."
Were you resting?: "Yes, I come to this village often to relax."
"I come here often with Machamp."
"You train hard when you train, and you rest hard when you rest."
"That is the secret to training with longevity!"
"You're a Trainer, so you know how important it is to rest."
Yeah, I think so.: "I figured."
Er...: "You must rest if you want to become stronger. That's all I wanted to say."
"It might seem roundabout, but resting is an important part of training."
"I believe that training is something you do to elevate yourself and not to challenge yourself."
"If you continue training without rest, you may indeed become stronger but your spirit will suffer for it."
"That kind of strength... That is not what Machamp and I yearn for."
"You must hone your spirit along with your muscles to gain true strength."
True strength, huh?/I see!: "Machamp and I train the same way, and we rest the same way."
"We can understand each other because we both go through the same pleasures and the same hardships."
"We want to become stronger not only for ourselves but for each other as well."
"That is what drives us to become stronger than we have ever been."
"That is our path."
"And that path goes on forever. We will continue training our minds and bodies like this."
Sync Pair Story - Makuhita's Evolution
  • Before battle
"Ah, Brawly! To think that we would see each other again on Pasio of all places. Shall we pick up our training where we left off?"

  • If spoken to again
"Machamp's power is an inspiration to martial artists everywhere."
"He is also the perfect example of a honed body."
  • Random conversation
"If it leads to me becoming stronger, I'll eat and drink anything. I have no preference in taste."

"A great flavor that rejuvenates my tired body after training. The rushing energy!"
"Such unspeakable joys... I wish I could teach you those joys, too..."
  • If spoken to again
"The moment you chomp down on one of those bars!"
"Absolute bliss! The one moment I do not want to be disturbed. All this talk is making me hungry!"

"Maybe this time, I'll try to train you! I believe in your potential!"
"I will train you until you collapse from fatigue!"
  • Random conversation

"I especially like the Rage Candy Bars sold in Mahogany Town in the Johto region."
"You should try them out sometime! I promise you won't regret it! Rage Candy Bars are the best!"
  • If spoken to again
"There are plenty of people out there much stronger than I am."
"And in the same vein, there may be a candy bar out there that is better than a Rage Candy Bar!"
"If I find any on Pasio, I will definitely let you know!"
  • Random conversation
"To be strong is to always look up and never stop."
"To never be satisfied, to humble yourself, and to always aim higher..."
"That is how you will discover your true strength!"
  • If spoken to again
"The top of the PML is not the final goal! It is only a checkpoint!"
"I will keep believing in my possibilities and keep charging through my limits!"

  • After giving out item
"No need to thank me! Just get stronger!"
"Of course! Through battle and rigorous training, there is no limit to how strong Trainers and Pokémon can become!"
"Really? I didn't know such a thing existed in Galar."
"Every region has its own training practices. I wonder what sort of training they do in Galar..."
"Galar is said to be abundant with nature. Perhaps they use the environment to their advantage while they train."
"Don't let your dreams be dreams, Maylene."
"Continue training and battling, and you'll arrive in Galar soon enough."
