In the core series

Pokémon X and Y

Vaniville Town

"Welcome to Vaniville Town. The name's Calem. I live next door."
"The renowned Professor Sycamore lives here in the Kalos region. I heard he has a task for five kids including us. But I'm surprised he knows who you are. You did just move here to Vaniville, after all."

Aquacorde Town

"This is the meeting place, <player>. I'll introduce you. Everyone, this is <player>."
"So, <player>. This is Tierno. He can really tear up the dance floor... And this is Trevor. He's a little shy, but he always gets perfect scores on his tests..."
"You should decide what we call you."
"Good to meet you, <first partner>. My name's Calem. Because of you, I can finally become a real Pokémon Trainer. Thanks!"
"In Kalos, kids are chosen to carry a Pokédex and go on an adventure. But you need to give that letter to your mom before you do any of that!"
"If you have a Pokémon partner, you can battle wild Pokémon."

Route 2

"You can talk about my parents if you want, but it doesn't have anything to do with me. I'm going to catch one now, so watch carefully!"
"Make sure to weaken a Pokémon before throwing a Poké Ball at it."
"Seriously, Shauna? Did you forget already? Your Pokémon is in a Poké Ball, right? Anyway, I'll share some Poké Balls with you two."
"If you throw a Poké Ball at a Pokémon around here, you'll probably catch it."
"Catching a wild Pokémon makes your Pokémon stronger, too. Be seeing you."

Santalune Forest

  • After first right turn
"I could make my way through a forest like this in my sleep."
  • After passing patch before Lass Anna
"Do you need any Poké Balls?"
"Here."
"The weaker a wild Pokémon is, the easier it is to catch."
"So, you got here first. Seems like I'm neighbors with someone who has a lot of potential."

Route 3

"I'm going to go to Santalune City's Gym and take on the Gym Leader. So you know, Pokémon Trainers test their strength by battling with the Gym Leaders in each Pokémon Gym."
"I learned a lot from others. Here, I have something for you guys-- "Adventure Rules." I wrote down 10 different tips every Trainer should know. Here's one for you."
"Look in those rules if you're confused about something."

Sycamore Pokémon Laboratory

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"It's OK. Take your time."
"I think being different from others is a part of what makes me special. Mastering Mega Evolution will definitely set me apart from other Trainers!"
"There's something I want to talk to you about. I'll wait for you in Café Soleil, neighbor!"

Lumiose City

"Come with me for a second."

Café Soleil

"Oh, it's Lysandre and ... Is that Diantha?"
"So get this, neighbor, Lysandre is the head of Lysandre Labs, which created the Holo Caster, a video-messaging device. You already know about Diantha, right? She is one of the most famous movie stars in the world, after all, I wonder what the two of them are doing here together."
"I'm Calem. It's a pleasure. This..."
"Hmm... I guess Pokémon Trainers all battle each other, no matter who they are. Oh, yeah. I wanted to ask you something, neighbor. How about you and I compete and see who ends up stronger? I know we set off on our journey just after you arrived in Vaniville, but we are neighbors, and having a competition with you sound like fun. I won't lose though. Just so you know."

Route 7

  • Before battle
"OK, let's battle. Tierno and Trevor, you'll battle against <player's nickname> and me!"
  • After winning
"Everyone sure has a different approach to being a Trainer. Well, that was fun, but I guess we should head to Ambrette Town."

Ambrette Town

"Hey, neighbor!"
"This is Ambrette Town. You go through the aquarium to get to Cyllage City. But first, we should go to the Fossil Lab and have them tell us about Fossils. Maybe we'll learn something about those mysterious stones related to Mega Evolution."

Fossil Lab

"Wait for me."
"I'm Calem, and this is <player>. We're researching Mega Evolution. Do you know anything about it?"
"is that so? Well, if you don't know anything about Mega Evolution..."
"Well... As long as I'm here, I guess I'll go see that assistant. Heading to Glittering Cave, <player's nickname>?"

Glittering Cave

"<player>."
"So, there are two members of Team Flare this time... Are you ready to battle alongside me, neighbor?
Yes: "I just fought with another one of these Team Flare guys."
No: "You have to prepare? Got it!"
"If you're just trying to make yourselves happy, I won't stop you. But when you threaten people, it's like who do you think you are, anyway?
"Is he there?"
"Was Team Flare here?"
"Never mind... Guess he was so absorbed with looking for Fossils he didn't notice."
"I'll take this one, then."
"So, we went looking for the assistant, and we found that suspicious group called Team Flare as well... Still, with those Team Flare people running around, it would be better to train more so I can travel safely. I guess the best thing to do to get tougher is challenge the Cyllage City Gym."

Geosenge Town

"<player>, was someone from Team Flare here just now?
Yes: "You said he was here... But he isn't anymore, is he? There's only a dead end up ahead... I wonder where that Team Flare guy went..."
No: "You don't have to worry about me. I chased a Team Flare Grunt here. But there's only a dead end up ahead... I wonder where that Team Flare guy went..."

Tower of Mastery

"How are you and your Pokémon?"
"Some Pokémon evolve through friendship, and others only evolve in certain places"
"Trust... In other words, the bond between Trainer and Pokémon!"
  • Before battle
"<player>, let's battle for it! No matter what the reason is, a battle is a good chance for us to compete and see who Vaniville Town's best Trainer really is!"
"How about it?
Yes: "I will master Mega Evolution and set myself apart from other Trainers. I'll also do it for my Pokémon--we've come so far together, and they never stopped believing in me, their Trainer. You and your Pokémon are stronger.. I can tell just by looking at you. But I'm not going to lose. The winner of this battle will be me!"
No: "You're very cautious, aren't you?"
  • Being defeated
"Your bonds with your Pokémon are really strong. I don't like losing much, but... I'm sure you'll be able to Mega Evolve your Pokémon!"
  • After battle
"I'll bet the Professor will be happy if you master Mega Evolution. That's one way you can show mastery as a Trainer."

Shalour City (after the player gets the Rumble Badge)

"Here take this."
"If you use the HM Surf, you can travel over the water. I'll challenge you to a battle again sometime. That's the best way to get strong, after all. I was lucky enough to meet you and end up traveling together, so I'd better take advantage of the opportunity to battle."

Coumarine City (Holo Caster)

"<player>, I challenge you to a battle in front of the Gym! You'd better be ready!"

Coumarine City

  • Before battle
"Sorry to keep you waiting. The reason I wanted to meet you is I want to see Mega Evolution in action. Whether you use it or not is up to you. But since I'm a Pokémon Trainer, I want to see things that make Pokémon special."
  • Being defeated
"Oof. I'd kind of forgotten how strong you are."
  • After being defeated
"Even though we set off from Vaniville Town at the same time, there's a gap in our strength. Do you have something I don't? I guess I have to think about that... Well, good luck with your Gym Battle."

Route 14

"Hey, <player's nickname>!"
"I'll leave filling up the Pokédex to you guys, Trevor. It's boring when everyone does the same thing anyway..."
  • Before battle
"There sure are lots of different kinds of Pokémon in Kalos. Guess it's my turn now! <player>, I challenge you to a battle!"
  • Being defeated
"Battling with you is fun, but losing all the time doesn't really make me look all that good."
  • After being defeated
"Thanks, Shauna. I noticed you were watching us while I was battling."
"So, Tierno, have you found any good Pokémon for your dance team?"
"It's just a rumor, right? I'll pass. I'd rather spend some quality time with my Pokémon before heading to Laverre City."

Poké Ball Factory

"We were supposed to meet here. Did something happen?"
"Team Flare? There might be something going on inside. let's check it out while the guard's gone!"
"That red suit means you're a member of Team Flare, right? Did you have a part-time job at the Poké Ball Factory to pay for that ugly suit?"
"Leave this to me! You go ahead!"
  • Before battle
"I think your math is off. And I thought you were supposed to be scientists! Are you ready to fight alongside me, neighbor?"
Yes: "Let's get'em!"
No: "Got it!"
  • After Team Flare leaves
"Go ahead and pick first."
"Oh. Thank you."
"I'm afraid not. It's not time for that now. They still have to clean up after Team Flare."
"Right. Team Flare... ... ..."
"Thanks. Everyone's Ok, thank to you. But if I keep relying on you like this, I won't grow during my adventure."

Anistar City (Holo Caster)

"<player>. This time, I challenge you to a battle in front of Anistar City's Gym! You'd better be ready!

Anistar City

  • Before battle
"<player>! I can't keep losing to someone who started the journey at the same time as me! Let's battle!"
  • Being defeated
"Why am I still playing catch-up to you?!"
  • After battle
"My Pokémon are a lot stronger now, but you and your Pokémon are still just a little bit out of our reach... Here, I should heal your Pokémon."
"You're strong. I knew there would be lots of tough Trainers out in the world, but I wouldn't have guessed that my neighbor would turn out to be the one to beat! Well, just keep doing what you're doing and defeat that Gym Leader.

Anistar City (after the player gets the Psychic Badge)

"I'm sure getting the Psychic Badge wasn't too hard for you to get, right <player>? Ready for a rematch? I think it would be fun to compete with my neighbor to be the best in Kalos. But I can't claim to be competing with you until I beat you at least once!"
"What's this?"
"What... was Lysandre saying? Wiping the slate clean? Eliminating everyone but Team Flare?! <player>! Let's split up and look for Team Flare's base! Where could Lysandre be, though... We first met him in Lumiose City... Maybe he's there?"

Geosenge Town (after the ultimate weapon is unearthed)

"<player>, you're not in this alone! When I was in Lysandre's lab, the masked heroes told me what is going on. They also told me what Team Flare plans to do with the ultimate weapon! C'mon! Let's stop team Flare...No...We have to stop Lysandre himself! I... I want to protect my friends!

Team Flare Secret HQ

1F

"Ultimate weapon? We won't let you use it!"
"So what? That doesn't give you the right to destroy everyone except the few that Team Flare chooses!"
"That's different! We did compete to see who got it, but..."
"What about Pokémon?"
"Why... are you crying?"
"It's not over until it's over! <player's nickname>! Let's go look for the Legendary Pokémon! Trainer are protected by Pokémon, but they protect Pokémon, too, right? Look! That's the entrance to the lower floors over there!" Let's hurry!"

Walkway

"Shauna?! What are you doing here?"
"..."
"I'm sorry... I wasn't thinking clearly, and I didn't consider your feelings. Thank you for coming. Friends should stick together. <player's nickname>, we'll all stick together, right?"
Yes: "Naturally!"
No: "But..."
"It's settled then! Shauna, <player's nickname>, and I will go ahead. Stay close, OK?"
"An electronic lock... Now what?"
"Not bad, Shauna! Well, Clemont was the one who made it. But you brought it here! So, I guess both of you are pretty great! We're finally here. The Legendary Pokémon is inside. Let's save it together!"

Legendary Pokémon Room

"So this is the place... It's really hard to breathe in here. Feels like there's a weight on my chest..."
"It's the Poké Ball Factory all over again... <Player>! You take care of things here! I'll protect Shauna!"
"Great! Now they can't use the ultimate weapon."
"The Legendary Pokémon is gone, so you can't use the ultimate weapon anymore, right? You don't have to worry about the future all alone... Shouldn't everyone work together to make a beautiful world?"
"<player>! Shauna! Let's get out of here!"

Geosenge Town (after the player has defeated Team Flare)

"Thank you... We all go out in one piece. Are you guys all OK, Tierno?"
"Thanks, <player's nickname>. I respect you as a friend. That's why I want to beat you in battle as your rival!"

Victory Road

  • Before battle
"<player>! Wait up!"
"I've been thinking ever since that incident in Geosenge. Lysandre chose only Team Flare. You and I chose everyone but Team Flare. But since our positions forced our hands, you can't really say any of us were right. So maybe... If both sides have something to say, it's best to meet halfway... So I decided that from now on, I don't want to battle just to win but to see how you and your Pokémon think and feel! And that's the kind of Pokémon battle I'm challenging you to now!"
  • Being defeated
"I'm still no match for you... You know, it's because I met you that I was able to get this far... But our journey's just getting started. Who knows what heights we'll reach!"
  • After battle
"It's hard to put a finger on where, but I think you and I are alike. And that's why I didn't want to lose to you. But I think the reason we're alike is because we have so much in common. I'm really happy that we're friends."
"I'm renewing my rivalry with you! Since you're my rival, I hope you get stronger and stronger as a Pokémon Trainer. But we'll keep getting stronger and stronger, too! I can master the power that comes from the bond between me and my Pokémon, just like you did! Power right on through the Pokémon League! I know you can do it!"

Kiloude City

  • Before the first battle
"<player's nickname> Battle with me! My new partner can do something that'll really surprise you!
Yes: "En garde!"
No: "That's pretty cold."
  • After being defeated for the first time
"<player's nickname>, this is for you!"
"That's right. It's Absolite. I found two of them. After everything we said to Lysandre, it just wouldn't be right if I didn't share one with you. I have a message from Professor Sycamore. He says he may have unraveled part of the secret of the Mega Ring and the Mega Stones. He should be waiting by the sundial in Anistar City.
  • Before subsequent battles
"Hey, <player's nickname>? Would you battle with us?
Yes: "My Pokémon and I will show you what make us special! En garde!"
No: "That's pretty cold."
  • Being defeated in subsequent battles
"I'll think about what you did well and use this loss to fuel my desire to improve."
  • After being defeated in subsequent battles
"When we first set off on our journey, I though it was really important how different I was from everyone else. But that doesn't really matter, does it? Of course I'm different from others. I'm the only me!"

Main Story PML Arc - Chapter 20 - Shifting Shadows
  • A New Face from Kalos
  • Off-screen, as "???"
"Um... You wouldn't happen to be <player>, would you?"
  • After appearing, as Calem
"Oh, I'm Calem. I recently came to Pasio from the Kalos region."
"I heard a little about you from Cynthia earlier. I was hoping maybe we could have a battle!"
"I dunno about that. The way you battle on Pasio is pretty different from how we do it in Kalos... I'm still trying to get used to it."
"I may be a new arrival to Pasio, but I'm no newbie when it comes to Pokémon training."
"Time to see for myself whether your skills live up to Cynthia's description!"
  • Calem's Motives
"I told you I'm not a newbie when it comes to Pokémon training..."
"but you definitely impressed me back there. I can see how you've made it this far in the tournament."
"Well, Espurr... They're definitely in the running for the championship... We've got some decisions to make."
"Well, it's just... I actually have a couple reasons for coming to find you today."
"You've all heard of Team Break, right?"
"Well, it seems they're back in business. They've started stealing Pokémon again."
"I was planning to infiltrate one of their hideouts, but Cynthia told me to hold off."
"That's when she told me about you all... She said you might be willing to help."
"But aren't you supposed to be preparing for the finals? Are you sure you want to get involved?"
Of course we'll help!: "No hesitation at all, huh? Cynthia was right... You've definitely got some resolve."
"Thanks, everyone. Just do me a favor and don't go too overboard, OK? You've still got a tournament to win."
"Right, then. Let's head to that hideout."
  • Off-screen
"That's one of Team Break's hideouts... They're keeping their stolen Pokémon in that cave."
  • On-screen
"Espurr and I can handle the guards. Wait here. We'll take care of them."
"... ... ..."
"All right, let's do this. Come on, everyone!"
  • Friendly Concern
"Hmm... I feel like I should have run into some of those stolen Pokémon by now... How much deeper does this cave go?"
"Oops. Sorry, I'm not really used to working in big groups."
"Maybe... In any case, we need to keep moving."
  • What Friends Are For
"No... This isn't over yet!"
"I don't care how strong you are..."
"I won't give up until I rescue those poor Pokémon that you've stolen from their Trainers!"
"..."
"You guys..."
"These thugs are way stronger than we thought... I'll hold them off here!"
"You go on ahead!"
"Just go! Quickly!"
"Wha–?"
"You...are?"
"Ha... Ha ha ha!"
"You're totally right... I can't believe I forgot something so simple."
"Come on, everyone! Let's battle these thugs together–and rescue those stolen Pokémon!"
You got it!/We'll save them together!: "All right! Hope you're ready, Team Break!"
  • Big Sis
"Thanks, Acerola. Thanks, everyone."
"Don't tell me you still haven't learned your lesson!"
"What?!"
"Acerola..."
"I guess I wasn't thinking about how the rest of you felt, was I? I just rushed in there headlong."
"I did the same thing to my friend Shauna once... I regretted it back then, too, but I obviously didn't learn my lesson."
"Sorry, Acerola. I should have paid more attention to how you and the others were feeling."
"You were right there with me, just like a big sister, and I totally ignored your help."
"Remember how I said I had a couple different reasons for wanting to appproach your team earlier?"
"Well, one of those reasons was to see if you'd help me take out Team Break... But I was also hoping you might let me join your team."
"There are worse things than having a highly skilled Trainer from Kalos on your team, right?"
Welcome to the team!: "Thanks! You won't regret it."
You're in...as long as you learn to lean on the team a little.: "All right. I wouldn't want Big Sis to get mad at me."

"Yeah! I sure am, Big Sis!"
"Huh? Er...no, not literally..."
"Uh... I mean, you do have that reliable big sister aura, Hapu."
"Y'know what? Why not?"
"Let's do our best, Big Sisters!"
  • If spoken to again
"Good luck at the finals, <player>!"

  • Research Request: Xerneas
"Plus, he's/she's awesome at battling."
"Understood!"
  • A Beautiful World
  • Off-screen
"Could that be...Xerneas?!"
  • On-screen
"What are you doing here?"
"We aren't just using that power for battling! We're researching how we can use it as an energy source, too!"
"So we might be able to solve that problem you mentioned–that problem about people fighting over limited resources!"
"You've got it all wrong! We don't pick and choose when it comes to our partner Pokémon!"
"It's different, but..."
  • As Friends...
"Yeah! We won't let you lay a finger on Xerneas!"
"We'll stop you! Let's go, Meowstic!"
"No! He's too strong!"
"It's getting harder to breathe... Is it because of Yveltal?"
"But we can't just leave you here, Professor!"
  • Message to the Future

  • A Kalos Peace Ceremony
"I feel like it's been a while since I've seen you two go back and forth like this."
"Yeah, during the warring era..."
"Did you come to watch the show, too?"
"Making memories is nice and all, but..."
"Is anyone curious about that rumor going around? That there's a mysterious, invisible Pokémon on Pasio?"
"I've only heard rumors, so I'm not sure if it actually exists."
"Looker..."
  • A Fiery Woman
"... ... ..."
"Yeah, I was just wondering if someone might have already found it."
"A-all right... We'll be around till the end."
"Hm? Where's Looker?"
"I wonder where he went..."
  • Team Flare vs. Team Flare?!
"Oh no... Here they are again!"

"It looks really cool on you. And I think it all comes together really well!"
"Seriously? Even more power than those two?"
"Oh. But if its cells are scattered right now, that means its power is incomplete, right?"
"We'll help her out, too, Professor. It'll be safer with three of us around, right?"
  • The Search for Cells
"This might be harder than we originally thought..."
"We're looking for something. Y'see, there's these things all over Pasio that—"
"That's actually part of a Pokémon called Zygarde."
"Why don't we find a professor from Alola and ask them about it?"

"That was a wonderful plan–and great teamwork."

"You too, Serena."
"But there's no point being sad, right?"
"As long as you train so you don't lose next time–"

"(Am I a Trainer worthy of being her rival?)"
  • Neo Champion Stadium
"Do you want to beat Serena?"
"I feel the same."

"But it's not just the title I care about."
"I just...don't want to lose to Serena."
"I've battled Serena so many times in Kalos, and each time, I've felt disappointed in myself."
"Through battling her, I've realized that she's not just my neighbor..."
"I've started to see her as my true rival."
"I wanted to remember my journey in Kalos with Greninja..."
"So I partnered up with him as a way to start a new journey."
"I guess it means...that it's better to have more Trainers who can be an example to others?"
"... ... ..."
"Those words really mean something to me."
"I used to compare myself to others to see who was better..."
"That's all I used to care about."
"But that doesn't matter to me now."
"I want to face Serena with my true feelings... And I want to win!"
"What's the next training, Alder?"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Calem
"That feeling of waiting year after year after year, without any guarantee of meeting again..."
Were you waiting long?/Uh... Are you OK?: "Oh! I wasn't actually talking about me... While I was waiting for you, I suddenly remembered this person I used to know."
"When I was traveling around Kalos, I met this really tall Trainer."
"He'd been separated from his partner Pokémon long, long ago, and he had been searching for it ever since."
"For three thousand years, he looked for his Pokémon. I know—it sounds absurd."
"But it got me thinking. What would I do if you didn't show up for three thousand years?"
"*sigh* Yeah, I'd probably go home. I'd wait for about 30 minutes and then go home."
"If it were Serena, she wouldn't even wait three minutes."
"But if I were separated from Espurr and had to look for him for the next three thousand years..."
"I couldn't do that. I know I would lose heart."
"I care for Espurr a lot, but if I were asked if I care for him that much? Well, it makes me think."
"How about you?"
Three thousand years? Sure, I could do that.: "Seriously? You even said it so easily. You really are something special."
Probably not.: "Yeah, I mean, three thousand years... How many lifetimes is that?"
""When the ice and snow melt, spring arrives... You and your Pokémon will be together for many years to come.""
"Pryce, the Gym Leader in Mahogany Town, said those words to me."
"But I wonder, if you spend that much time with your Pokémon..."
"would you be more willing to wait three thousand years for them?"
"I don't know. I guess there's not even much of a point in thinking about it, either."
"What do you think, Espurr?"
"... ... ..."
"You've been using your psychic powers for the last few minutes, haven't you?"
"You in a good mood or something? What have you been getting up to over there?"
"Hm? A flower? That's a pretty shade of purple."
"Have you been making this flower levitate for me this whole time?"
That's impressive psychic power!: "He can hold it longer or shorter depending on the day."
"Today looks like his record time!"
That's some endurance!: "Yeah, I think Espurr is a bit more on the resilient side."
"Although whenever I get one of his favorite Poké Puffs, he does get a little antsy."
"Sorry for making you wait, Espurr."
"You really are a trooper, aren't you?"
Do you understand him?/Did you catch that?: "He said that it's fine because he likes waiting."
"I get the feeling that I understood what he was trying to say...although I don't know if I was even close."
"Sorry I said earlier that I probably wouldn't look for you for three thousand years."
"I'm your Trainer—I won't ever make you wait that long."
"But if we were to ever get separated..."
"Yeah, I'd look for you. Three thousand years, ten thousand years—it doesn't matter. I'll look for you no matter how long it takes."
"I swear on this flower."
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Calem (Champion)
What's going on?: "I can explain."
You're taking pictures even though nothing's there?: "Oh, there's something. She just can't get it on camera."
"Viola is helping me and Greninja with our training."
"The training is for Greninja to move so incredibly fast that Viola can't get a picture of him with her camera."
"Well done, Greninja. Seems like your training went well."
"I'm not sure about that..."
"I guess if you feel it has been, we can say this training's been fruitful."
"When I met Viola, I had just left Vaniville Town..."
"I used to think it was important how different I was from other people."
"But that wasn't working well for me... So I went on a journey to have a good look at myself."
"Right after I left, I met a Froakie that had different colors than others."
"That's what I thought as well. I thought it was destiny."
"It was a new encounter from a new journey."
"There were things that reminded me of my past journeys, but there were also things that were a first to me."
"Everything I've experienced has been a stepping stone for me."
"Of course I'm gonna carry on with my journey. I'm still in the middle of one right now!"
"And this time, I'm gonna achieve my goal..."
"together with Greninja here!"
What goal is that?: "Well..."
I'm cheering for you!: "Oh, thank you."
"There's someone I really want to beat."
"That person is my precious friend—someone I respect..."
"and a really cool and strong Trainer."
"Speaking of..."
"I don't know what she thinks of me."
"But she's the closest to me—and the opponent I want to beat the most..."
"She's my neighbor—and also my rival!"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Sygna Suit Serena
Hey, what are you up to?: "Oh, hey, <player>. Actually..."
Doing some shopping?: "Oh, hey, <player>. Not exactly..."
"I'm supposed to be meeting up with Serena, but she hasn't shown up yet."
"She's not usually late to things, so I'm starting to get a little worried."
"Three?"
"Serena?!"
"Are you OK? You took so long to show up, I was really getting worried."
"Wait, Zygarde led you there?"
"Maybe..."
"Team Break must be pretty fearless to do all the bad stuff they do on Pasio."
"Any time they act out, there's a powerful sync pair there to put them in their place—like just now."
"Right. That's why we were meeting up today, isn't it?"
"What?"
"You could have mentioned that..."
"I guess that makes sense... And taking a break here and there is probably for the best."
Sync Pair Story - Espurr's Evolution
  • Before battle
"I still want to to[sic] get stronger—strong enough that I can always take care of my Espurr!"
  • After defeating Nanu
"We did it, Espurr! But...what's happening to you?"
"Whoa, this is awesome, Espurr! We're getting stronger!"
"Let's stick together and become the greatest sync pair of them all!"
Pokémon Center
  • During sync background preview (Champion)
"Feeling each other's feelings... That's the kind of battle we're looking for!"
  • Random conversation
"Pasio is a completely different world from Kalos."
"I wonder... I trained pretty hard in Kalos, but how far will those skills take me here?"
"To be honest, I'm scared to find out—but more than that, I'm excited!"
  • If spoken to again
"I will overcome any obstacle Pasio throws at me!"
"I wear this hat to remind me of how determined I am. As long as I'm wearing it, I won't forget!"
  • Random conversation
"Having good teamwork is tricky, isn't it? Different Trainers and Pokémon move at different rhythms and everything."
"When you think about it, you're able to sync up immediately with lots of different Trainers. That's a kind of talent, you know?"
"I hope you keep on strengthening your talents."
"I think that's how you'll get stronger."
  • If spoken to again
"Different people have different ways of becoming strong. I'll get stronger in a different way than you."
"It's no fun if everyone is the same, anyway. I hope you look forward to seeing what my strengths are when it's time for us to battle!"
  • Random conversation
"I don't know what it is you're aiming for, <player>."
"It may even be that you're not sure yourself."
"But even then, I still believe that we'll end up reaching the same place."
  • If spoken to again
"There are many different ways for people and Pokémon to interact. Same goes for people interacting with people, of course."
"Let's work together to try to figure out which way is best."
  • Random conversation
"There are some moves that are easy to use, but why don't you try out moves you've never used before?"
"You might come up with new strategies, and that'll help battles go a lot smoother."
"Before you ask, no, I'm not going to tell you what strategies I use."
"You're one of my best opponents! I want to keep my strategies a secret until it's time to actually battle you."
  • If spoken to again
"Isn't it great to have someone you really want to beat in a battle?"
"It's a goal for you to pursue—to strive for that victory."
"I hope you keep getting stronger. Because I plan on going even further than that!"
  • Random conversation
"I have a friend called Serena."
"She's a pretty dependable girl—always says exactly what's on her mind."
"Personalities aside, you have a lot in common with her. Your strength, how you battle— that kind of thing."
"Maybe that's why I get so stubborn about beating you. I just don't want to lose."
  • If spoken to again
"Serena used to be pretty quiet when we first met. Her personality changed only recently."
"People tell me she totally calls the shots in our relationship."
"It's not like that, though. She's just dead set on going her own way. Besides, it's not like we're in a "relationship!""
"Man, people do change quickly."
  • Random conversation*
"My partner, Espurr, is a pretty popular Pokémon in the Kalos region."
"A lot of people keep them out of their Poké Balls, since they're so friendly and affectionate."
"Of course, they're also great in battle. You should see what mine can do!"
"He's my trusted partner, and we aim to become stronger together."
  • If spoken to again
"Only great Trainers like me can have Espurr as a partner."
"Mine does have a sweet tooth, though. He's snuck off with my snacks more than once."
  • Random conversation (Champion)
"I've met many Trainers since coming to Pasio."
"Everyone is so strong, and it made me realize how big the world is."
  • Random conversation (Champion)
"I was talking to Blue the other day, and he said my Greninja looks like an actual ninja."
"That made me curious, so I think I'll ask Koga about ninjas later."
  • Random conversation (Champion)
"I have four friends who started their journeys in Kalos with me."
"When we meet up, we get so excited talking about our memories from our journeys."
  • Random conversation (Champion)
"I believe it's important to always stay calm in battle."
"If you panic just because you're in a pinch, you might miss your chance to turn it around."
  • Random conversation (Champion)
"Do you ever feel down after comparing yourself to someone else, <player>?"
"I realized that it doesn't matter how different you are from others."
"Rather than comparing yourself to others, you should be comparing yourself to your past self, to see how far you've come."
"That's more important."
  • Random conversation (Champion)
"I prefer clothes that are easy to move around in."
"These clothes aren't really my preferred style, so it can be uncomfortable at times."
"But in a serious battle, these feel so official that they actually calm me down. "
  • If spoken to again
"Recently, Serena complimented me by saying these clothes suit me well."
"I was relieved because Serena is way more knowledgeable about fashion than me."
"It can be nice to use your outfit to change your mood."
  • Random conversation (Champion)
"I still dream about the day I started my journey in Kalos."
"There have been many fun times and frustrating times, but I'm happy that I started my journey."
"I feel like I've come very far."
  • If spoken to again
"If Serena weren't my neighbor, I don't think I would have become as strong as I am now."
"I kept working hard—not just for my journey but also because I had Serena as my rival. "
"I can't thank her enough."

Friendship Story - A Special Day with Calem: Part 1
"Hey, <player>."
"A new restaurant just opened—do you want to try it out sometime?"
(Say of course.): "Great! What a fantastic answer!"
(Ask more about the restaurant.): "I heard that it has a trendy atmosphere, and that it's already gotten really popular."
"There's just one condition to get in..."
"Apparently, they won't let you in unless both the Trainer and Pokémon are approved as having "style.""
"*chuckle* I know it sounds a little intimidating, but don't worry!"
"I do have some understanding of how to be stylish."
"There's a similar restaurant in Kalos, and I did my best to get in."
"First, looking put-together is key when it comes to style."
"Us Trainers have it easy—we just need to make sure our clothes and hair look good."
"But our Pokémon need a little more work. I'll teach you!"
"Just leave it to me! I have experience trimming Furfrou's fur."
"I've been styling my partner Pokémon's fur on Pasio too, and I've brushed up on my skills!"
(Say you're surprised by his unexpected talent.): "Heh! Unexpected, huh?"
(Praise Calem for his dedication.): "I just did it because I like it—it's really not a big deal."
"As for the Trainer..."
"No need to worry! You look great the way you are."
"I still want to go over everything, though..."
"It's not just about our appearance—we need to have our manners down to a T, too!"
"With that said, let's check our appearance and go over how to act stylish!"
"Don't worry. I have your back if you get stumped on something."
Friendship Story - A Special Day with Calem: Part 2
"All right, let's head inside."
"Are you nervous? I kind of am too, actually."
"It was a great restaurant, just like the reviews said."
"Thanks, <player>. I had a lot of fun."
"Not only did I enjoy the time we spent together at the restaurant..."
"but I also enjoyed the time we spent brushing up on our style."
(Thank him.): "*chuckle* You're welcome!"
(Smile and say you had a great time, too.): "*chuckle* Glad to hear that!"
"Come to think of it, I've always spent a lot of time with my friends."
"But lately, I feel like I've been more proactive about inviting people to hang out."
"I saw that you have so many friends, <player>..."
"Maybe that made me want to spend more time with my friends, too."
"When you spend time with friends, you might sometimes argue or encounter tough situations."
"But you can also share fun memories like we did today."
"Maybe that's what friendship is all about—wanting to know the other person better!"
(Agree with Calem.): "I knew you'd feel the same, <player>."
(Think about it for a bit.): "To each their own, I guess!"
"I believe there's nothing more valuable..."
"than having friends you can share fun and happy moments with."
"So from now on, I hope we can continue to have an amazing time together on Pasio..."
"just like we have so far!"
