Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Mossui Town
  • First encounter
"So...you're one of those students who came from the Paldea region, huh?"
"Hush, Kieran."
"I'm Carmine. Sorry, but I can't just let an outsider like you wander into Mossui Town. If you insist on coming in, you'll have to battle me first."
"I told you to hush, Kiki!"
"Just ignore my little brother."
"All right, let's do this. Get in position."
"I'm going to have some real good fun with you."
  • In battle
After sending out first Pokémon: "Welcome to Kitakami! For your first experience, get ready to eat dirt!"
After the player first lands a supereffective move: "O-oh. You know about type matchups, huh?"
After the player first lands a move that is not very effective: "So, do you NOT know about type matchups? Maybe you should study up!"
After the player first lands a critical hit: "Aaagh! C'mon! That was just a lucky hit!"
After first landing a hit on the player's Pokémon: "How's that for a first taste of Kitakami? Not that I'm enjoying this or anything!"
Upon first using Poltchageist's Shadow Ball: "Go on, Poltchageist! Teach 'em a lesson with Shadow Ball!"
Upon being defeated: "You... Who ARE you?"
  • After battle
If the player won: "I can't believe it... There's no way you should've been able to beat me!"
If the player lost: "Huh... Didn't expect you to put up such a fight against me."
"..Fine, I guess you pass. Barely. Seems I've got no choice. I'll let you into town, but only if you become one of my grunts and do every little thing I—"
"Tch. Here comes trouble..."
"C'mon, Kiki. We're out of here."
  • The next day, outside the community center
"Hi! I'm Carmine! It's a pleasure to meet all you outsiders—I mean, visitors from Paldea! Hee hee!"
"Aye-aye."
  • If talked to
"You're <player> or whatever, right? Let me guess—you want to pair up with one of us poor, lonely Blueberry students?"
No: "Wait, but you're the one who came to talk to us. What are you, some kinda weirdo?"
Yes: "Gosh, it's so sweet of you to go out of your way like that. What would we ever do without you?"
"Oh yeah. So my little brother here has been all googly-eyed over you since yesterday. He wouldn't stop talking about you—even at home. I seriously couldn't get him to shut up."
"HEY! Watch who you call "dummy," if you know what's good for you!"
"Look at him, being all shy... See, my brother's no good at talking to people. He'd probably never work up the nerve to ask you himself, but he'd really like a battle with you." / "C'mon, please? Just have a battle with my brother, would you?"
No: "Huh? What's that? I couldn't hear you. When you've cleared your throat of whatever that was and are ready to say yes, lemme know."
Yes: "Well, what do you know—turns out you're sorta nice. This'll make my brother real happy."
"Chin up, Kiki! <player> says he'll/she'll battle you!"
"He/She doesn't mind a bit. Get to your positions, you two. Everybody else, clear out. Make some space!"
  • After the player defeats Kieran
"You really aren't half bad. Kiki's nearly as strong as I am, you know."
"This orienteering thing... We're supposed to group up in pairs, right? You should go ahead and pair up with Kiki, then."
"Don't what? It's not like we can pair up. Or were you hoping to partner with some other rando outsider instead of <player>?"
"Don't worry. He's just being shy. I'll go find some chump to pair up with too. Watch out for my little bro, you."
  • If talked to again
"Let's do this, outsider—I mean, uh, totally ordinary guy!"
  • At her grandparents' house, on the first night of the Festival of Masks
"Hey, Gran, d'you know where my—?"
"Gah! What're YOU doing here?"
"Oh, really? Is that so..."
"Oh, right. Gran, I couldn't find my mask for the festival."
"All right! To the shed! First one there wins!"
"Rrrghhh! But there's gotta be another one!"
"Tch! Just rolling up like you own the place. Well, it looks like there're only two masks in the shed. Too bad, right? There's nothing I can do 'bout it! Guess you'll just have to do without a mask, eh? First come, first served, and all that!"
Regardless of choice: "C'mon now, don't look so glum!"
"How about instead of a mask, I give you a battle in style? Festival style! Come on! Get in position!"
  • In battle
After sending out first Pokémon: "Feel free to be dazzled by how great I look in my jinbei. I'll win while you're distracted!"
After the player first lands a supereffective move: "Is this about the mask?! C'mon, stop with the supereffective moves!"
After the player first lands a critical hit: "Don't get smug just 'cause you scored a critical hit! I'm not panicking or anything!"
Upon sending out last Pokémon: "I'm gonna crush you and go to the festival feeling like a WINNER!"
Upon first using Sinistcha's Shadow Ball: "It's a special day, so it's time for a special move!"
Upon being defeated: "Hey, you're supposed to be enamored and distracted by my festival style!"
  • After being defeated
"...Oh well! It's not like beating me was gonna cause another mask to magically appear. Now then, let me get MY mask..."
"How's that? Look good, don't I?"
"What?! No! I already said it's first come, first served! And besides, that's YOUR ogre mask! You've always loved that mask best!"
"No buts about it! <player> can just get his/her own mask at the festival. He's/She's fine!"
"Now, move it! Let's go!"
Kitakami Hall
"I bet you don't have any festivals this big over in Paldea or wherever, right?"
That's true!: "Heh... Knew it. See, Kitakami's just as good as any of your big, shiny cities."
... ... ...: "Oh no! Guess it's so incredible you're at a loss for words, huh?"
"I'll snap a photo so you can remember this amazing night forever. Gimme your Roto-Stick for a sec..."
"C'mon, you two. Scooch in closer!"
"Oh, stop complaining! This'll only take a second! OK, are you all ready? Say Chansey!"
"Now that's what I call a nice festival vibe!"
"The Festival of Masks is held so we can all honor the Loyal Three, the brave heroes of Kitakami! The Loyal Three are the Pokémon that once protected this land from the evil ogre, you know. Most of the kids in town wear masks of the Loyal Three, like me. Did I mention they're our heroes?"
"What? What're you laughin' at?"
"What?! I know the legends of Kitakami better than anybody! Pretty gutsy of you to laugh at your big sis!"
"Kiki's still a little baby, so of course he thinks some kind of terrible monster's cool. He likes the ogre more than the Loyal Three."
  • If talked to after Kieran leaves
"That brother of mine's awfully quick to run away when he doesn't like what's being said."
  • If talked to after finding Kieran
"Nothing says "festival" like a bunch of super-salty fried food!"
"You're up for a run of Ogre Oustin', huh? I did one just now. It was pretty easy—for me, that is. My score was 6,390! Think you can do better?"
  • If the player beats Carmine's high score in Ogre Oustin'
"I, Carmine, Mossui's reigning champion of Ogre Balloon busting... have been defeated?! Aaaagh, I hate losing! I wanna have another go to get even, but I'm all out of pocket money..."
"Kiki, you go and beat <player> for me!"
  • If the player does not beat Carmine's high score in Ogre Oustin'
"I, Carmine, Mossui's reigning champion of Ogre Balloon busting...have triumphed! I really wanna have another go to deliver a crushing final defeat with a killer score...but I don't have much pocket money left..."
"Kiki, you go serve <player> a sound defeat for me!"
  • If the player ties Carmine's high score in Ogre Oustin'
"I, Carmine, Mossui's reigning champion of Ogre Balloon busting... am faced with a tie?!"
Regardless of outcome: "What's that? You're taking the side of an outsider over your own sister?! That makes me so annoyed I think I'm gonna black out!"
  • If talked to
"Aaargh! But we've gotta prove that our sibling power is unbeatable!"
"Hey, <player>—listen to this... It's nuts! Kiki's no use at all! Zero talent for oustin' ogres, I'm telling you!"
"Hey, who was that?"
  • If talked to again
"Was that someone from Paldea? Definitely not a kid from the village."
  • After the player catches up to Ogerpon
"Wait, <player>! You shouldn't run off on your own."
"Hey, new kid! That goes for you too!"
"You should come back! The mountain's dangerous at night!"
"Who was that? Where'd that kid come from...?"
Regardless of choice: "What're you talking about? Wait, do you mean...? That kid we just saw... They ran off toward the mountain... C-could that have been the ogre?! From the story on all the signboards? Are you saying that story was TRUE?!"
"I mean, they did drop a mask...so they really must be..."
Regardless of choice: "HEY! Wait—stop stop stop!"
"It's nothing! It's nothing you'd be interested in at all, I swear!"
"Whew. At least he didn't figure out what we were really talking about."
"Don't scare me like that—blabbing for the whole world to hear! Don't you have any filter? See, Kiki really likes the ogre. Like, really, really, REALLY likes it. So, if he found out we'd seen the ogre without him... I guess I was afraid he'd feel bad, y'know? Feel left out or something... Am I overthinking it? 'Sides, I didn't want him running up the mountain to follow the ogre at this hour, either."
"Well, in any case, we already lied about it, and that's that. Let's keep this whole thing our little secret, OK? And maybe hold off on showing Kiki that mask you just picked up, too."
  • If talked to before leaving the festival
"Hee hee... The festival's so much fun! And absolutely NOTHING weird happened, right?"
Mossui Town
  • The next day
"There you are, <player>! Just because we didn't agree to meet doesn't mean you get to keep me waiting!"
"So, uh, y'see...I wanted to talk to you a bit. You haven't told anybody about the, y'know...the thing that happened yesterday? Right?!"
No, I haven't!: "You better not be lying! If I find out you blabbed, I'm gonna make you swallow a Koffing whole!"
What thing?: "Come on—you know exactly what I'm talking about! We bumped into the oguuur...t. Yogurt. Yes, yogurt! So don't play dumb, got it?!"
"You still have that thing we picked up at the stairs, right? My grandpa knows a lot about the village's history. We should go talk to him about what happened yesterday!"
"You know where my house is, right? See you there. Don't keep me waiting."
"Let's show Grandpa the...y'know...the thing we found."
  • At her grandparents' house
"Tsk, he's awake, huh."
"Kiki, go find someplace else to be! <player>'s got business with me!"
"What'd you just call me?!"
"What's his deal? Kiki should know better than to talk back to me like that."
"I WAS being kind! It's not like I hit him or anything!"
"Anyway, we've got more important things to discuss, right, <player>? C'mon! You gotta show Grandpa that thing you have!"
  • If the player selects an item other than the Teal Mask
"No, not that! I’m talkin’ about that thing we found yesterday!"
  • If the player declines to pick an item
"C’mon! You gotta show Grandpa that thing you have!"
"We bumped into it! The ogre, I mean! Yesterday, at the Festival of Masks! I tried talking to it all nice and everything, but it dropped that mask and... Yeah."
"Huh? What do you mean "still"? I thought the ogre was a scoundrel that attacked the village."
"The other way around? What do you mean?!"
  • If talked to before hearing her grandpa's story
"The ogre is called Ogerpon?! And the real story's "the other way around"? What does that even mean?! Come on, we need to hear this out!"
  • During her grandpa's story
"OK..."
"That's terrible..."
"Ogerpon didn't deserve that! And the Loyal Three—they're the worst! The story everyone's been told is the complete opposite of the truth! They gotta hear about this!"
"But, Grandpa—"
"They'd probably get...angry?"
"Oooh, that REALLY gets my blood boiling!"
"I see... Kiki doesn't know the whole story yet, does he?"
"I dunno. He just really seems to like the ogre... He's practically obsessed. And he's been trying to one-up me—as if he knows more about the Ogerpon than I do."
"OK, Grandpa... Now I REALLY can't tell Kiki we met the ogre..."
"Oh, huh. Maybe it got chipped when it fell down the stairs? Since Grandpa's offering, let's get it all nice and fixed up before we give it back to Ogerpon!"
"I wanna see Ogerpon again, but getting its mask fixed will have to come first. For now, we should carry on with the orienteering before Kiki gets suspicious. I bet we'll find Kiki just killing time somewhere in town!"
  • If talked to after hearing her grandpa's story
"The boy I partnered up with is so...ordinary. Pretty underwhelming, if I'm being honest."
  • If talked to after finding Kieran
"Don't worry, I'll do the whole orienteering thing like a good li'l student. Keep a low profile, OK?"
  • The next day, at her grandparents' house
"<player>! You took your sweet time! We wanted to talk to you before Kiki wakes up."
"Yeah... According to Grandpa, we need to get a Crystal Cluster from the bottom of the Crystal Pool. I mean, we COULD just return the mask as it is. But I think it would make Ogerpon real happy if we fixed it up first!"
Regardless of choice: "Especially now that I've heard the real story... I just want Ogerpon to be happy, you know?"
"Right?"
"Kiki! You'd better go kill time somewhere—"
"E-excuse me?! I don't need that kinda attitude from you!"
"What's his problem? He's been all bent out of shape since yesterday."
"Must be teen angst or something. It happens!"
"It woulda been hard to get stuff done with Kiki clinging to you, <player>. Guess things worked out in our favor!"
"The Crystal Pool's at the top of Oni Mountain. I'm usually not too keen on outsiders heading up the mountain, but I think we can make an exception for you!"
"What say you and I go for a hike to find ourselves a Crystal Cluster?"
Crystal Pool
  • If talked to
"There you are, <player>! Come on, get a load of this view!"
"This is the Crystal Pool. Bet you didn't expect it to be so pretty, huh? The crystals here are always shining. Isn't that strange? There's even a weird rumor that you can meet people here who've passed away."
"Now we'll just need to get a little bit of the crystal from the bottom of the pool so we can fix the mask properly!"
"And that's where you come in, <player>! Go on, then! Jump in! Don't be scared!"
Regardless of choice: "Well, yeah. I can't swim. And besides, my clothes would get soaked if I did it."
"You've got a real nifty Pokémon to ride on, right? You'll be fiiiiiine!"
"What in the—?! An earthquake?!"
After sending out first Pokémon: "This one looks strong! You're awful lucky that I'm around."
When Milotic is at low health: "It’s weak! C’mon, let’s finish this!"
  • After the wild Milotic is defeated
"Sheesh, that surprised me! Now that I think about it, Pokémon like that one do show up here from time to time..."
"Y'know, you're pretty handy to have around in a battle, aren't you?"
"Hey, is that...?"
"Maybe it was stuck to that Pokémon you fought?"
"Ms. Briar!"
"Uh... I'm sorry, Ms. Briar, but this place is actually pretty special. I'm not a big fan of outsiders just wandering around up here."
"...Why did you come here?"
"Uh, I see..."
"Well, um... We've got somewhere to be, so..."
"Let's head back, <player>!"
Mossui Town
  • At her grandparents' house
"Hey, Grandpa! We got the Crystal Cluster you needed!"
"Huh? Did something happen?"
"What? Why would Kiki do that?!"
"Did you tell him about the ogre or something?!"
Regardless of choice: "Right, I'm sorry... I know you wouldn't just go blabbing to him like that."
  • If talked to
"We should head to Loyalty Plaza and figure out what's gotten into Kieran."
Loyalty Plaza
"Kiki! What in the world do you think you're doing?"
"You...you knew?"
"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean—"
"That's not what happened at all!"
"What's gotten into you, Kiki?!"
"You're acting real off today..."
  • After the player defeats Kieran
"Kiki, are you all right...?"
"Hey, listen, Kiki... I should apologize for—"
"I'm sorry about all that. He's normally not like this at all."
"Do you think most people act up like that around Kieran's age?"
"The way he's acting is a bit scary, honestly... Is that just me, or did you feel it too?"
Regardless of choice: "Right... I sure never let teenage angst get to my head like that. I don't know what to do with him..."
"Hey, can you hear something? ...Is it coming from the Loyal Three Monument?"
"Wh-what's going on?!"
"Huh? Huh?!"
"What in the world?!"
"Wh-what d'you want?"
"What are they doing...?"
"Seriously, WHAT is going on?!"
"What was that all about?"
Regardless of choice: "Hey, you're right! There were three of 'em, and they looked all sinister! That's gotta be them!"
"The story said they were laid to rest under the statues, right? What brought them back to life?"
"Wait, they ran off toward Kitakami Hall!"
"This can't be good! Let's go after 'em! Come on, <player>!"
Kitakami Hall
"Hey, did those lousy three Pokémon come here?!"
"Forget about that silly title!"
"You gave them the masks?!"
"And you FED them?!"
"But those lousy three are the bad guys! The masks belong to Ogerpon! Ugh, I really wish I could tell them everything..."
"So, where did those three go?"
"This isn't the time to be laughing at all!"
"If the story we heard is true, then those three must've gone to get revenge on Ogerpon. They say the ogre fought using the powers of its masks. But Ogerpon doesn't have any masks right now, right?! It won't stand a chance!"
Regardless of choice: "Yeah, we're on the same page! But we should split up! You head to the Dreaded Den and help Ogerpon! I'll go back home to get the mask fixed up! Give me the mask and the crystal!"
"Thanks! I'll head your way the moment the mask's fixed! Until then, make sure Ogerpon's safe!"
Dreaded Den
"Knock it off, all of you!"
"They were trying to go three against one on you, huh? I guess a fair fight's too much to expect! But now that we're here... We'll make you regret ever coming back to life!"
"Hmph! I guess I'm just too much for them to handle!"
"Go on, say it properly!"
"He was sulkin' around, so I grabbed him by the collar and dragged him here! And, well...I'm glad I did!"
"You wanted to be the one to give the mask back to Ogerpon, right, Kiki?"
"It seems scared... Maybe it's not good with new people, Kiki."
"Hee hee, it seems so happy!"
"It seems pretty comfortable around you, <player>."
"It'd be nice if we could give the other three masks back to Ogerpon too, don't you think?"
"Yeah! Never mind that the masks rightfully belong to poor Ogerpon here! I wouldn't put it past the so-called Loyal Three to plot a second ambush, either. We need to keep Ogerpon safe while we deal with them!"
"That means the three of us are gonna form a team—the Mask Retrieval Squad!"
Count me in!: "Good idea, isn't it? And you get to be my second-in-command!"
Are you serious?: "You got a problem with the name? Think carefully or I may demote you from second-in-command!"
"Of course you can! And now that that's settled, let's go gather intel about those "Loyal" Three in Mossui! We're gonna get those masks back!"
With Kieran: "We can do this!"
Reveler's Road
"What's wrong, Ogerpon?"
"Yeah, you're right..."
"OK, well, maybe Ogerpon can wait for us here. We can go gather information while it waits."
"Pay attention now, Ogerpon... We go in village! You stay here! Ogerpon stay! Do you understand?"
"...I'm gonna take that as a no."
"What was wrong with what I said?!"
Mossui Town
  • If talked to
"We need to gather every scrap of info we can get about any sightings of the Lousy Three! Let's meet up once we're done!"
Reveler's Road
"We're back, Ogerpon!"
"All right! Let's combine the info we've gathered! You go first, Kiki!"
"Hmm, I see. Interesting..."
"Thanks to the information you two brought, I think we know exactly where each of those Lousy Three is hiding!"
That's great news!: "I knew the Mask Retrieval Squad I assembled wouldn't let me down! Rest assured, your fearless leader—that's me—sees your hard work and effort!"
What'd you learn, Carmine?: "Look, I'm the leader here. Mundane work like gathering info just doesn't suit me. Besides, I tried talking to a few people here and there, but they got all nervous and stuff! I'm just too pretty for my own good."
"I'll record everything we found out about those three to your Rotom Phone, <player>. That way we won't forget any of it!"
"Now then, let's go retrieve those masks! We can do this!"
"What? You're part of the team! You need to come along!"
"Huh. I wonder if he's still upset? Oh well! I can't force him to tag along. Let's just take care of this ourselves!"
"You can decide where we head first! Let's get all of Ogerpon's masks back, all right?"
Paradise Barrens
"Oh, here's the buff one! Okidogi, with all of its mean muscles!"
"Hey, I may be wrong about this, but...has it gotten bigger than when we last saw it?!" / "This one's gotten bigger too, huh..." / "How is it they've ALL gotten bigger like this, though?! Give me a break!"
"Come on, <player>! It's time to cut this Pokémon down to size!"
  • In battle, against Okidogi
After sending out first Pokémon: "That scarf's way too stylish for the likes of you! I'm gonna teach you to sit...the hard way!"
???: "I wanna finish off this meanie myself! Let your leader have the last attack, OK?"
After the player first lands a supereffective move: "Oooh, we found its weakness! Nice analysis there, my second-in-command!"
After the player first lands a critical hit: "You think you're so cool, landing critical hits... I'm not giving up my title as leader, OK?!"
Wistful Fields
"Ah, it's the cocky-looking one! That huge head must mean it's Munkidori!"
"Hey, I may be wrong about this, but...has it gotten bigger than when we last saw it?!" / "This one's gotten bigger too, huh..." / "How is it they've ALL gotten bigger like this, though?! Give me a break!"
"Time for us to put this one in its place, <player>!"
  • In battle, against Munkidori
???: "I wonder if it'll go all red in the face if we give it a good trouncing. Time to find out!"
After the player first lands a supereffective move: "Hehehe... Looks like that move stung! Guess it musta hit somewhere sensitive!"
After the player first lands a critical hit: "Yes, excellent move! Keep up the pressure!"
After first landing a supereffective move: "Hehehe... Someone's got a weakness! We can just keep using that move till it faints, then!"
Oni Mountain
"There's the one that flies—Fezandipiti!"
"Hey, I may be wrong about this, but...has it gotten bigger than when we last saw it?!" / "This one's gotten bigger too, huh..." / "How is it they've ALL gotten bigger like this, though?! Give me a break!"
"Time to bring this one down, <player>!"
  • In battle, against Fezandipiti
???: "I know we're enemies, but its face is so pretty! Doesn't it remind you of me a little?"
After the player first lands a supereffective move: "Great job! I knew I could count on my best grunt—er, I mean friend!"
After the player first lands a critical hit: "That's what you get for picking on Ogerpon!"
???: "Hey! I'm gonna be the one who deals more damage—you got that?!"
Loyal Three battles*
  • After defeating the first Loyal Three member
"That's what you get!"
"Hey, look! It dropped a mask!"
"We did it! We got the first mask back!"
"Heehee... It sure is happy!"
"You know, I felt this way at the Crystal Pool too, but we make a good team, don't we?"
"Two masks left! Let's take the rest of the Loyal Three down!"
  • After defeating the second Loyal Three member
"You never stood a chance!"
"Hey, look, it dropped a mask too—just like the last Pokémon!"
"That makes two masks back where they belong!"
"We did it, Ogerpon!"
"No opponent's gonna give us any trouble so long as we're a team!"
"Kiki really shoulda come with us..."
"Well, one more mask remaining! Let's make this Loyal One a Loyal None!"
  • After defeating the last Loyal Three member
"We're like the ogre and its masks—we help bring out each other's full power!"
"And there it is! We got the last mask!"
"Congratulations, Ogerpon! And good work, <player>! We've got all the masks!"
"Thank goodness... It all worked out—right, Ogerpon?"
"Huh? Kiki? What's up?"
"I wonder what's gotten into him. Everyone in the village thinks that Ogerpon's a menace, right? I hope he knows what he's doing..."
"But he did have a confident look in his eyes!"
"Let's trust Kiki and head to the village."
"If things go south, I'll use my natural charm to smooth things over!"
Reveler's Road
"Eesh... You really don't want to be here, do you?"
"Kiki! What's this all about, really?"
Mossui Town
"Hey, what's going on?! Why the sudden about-face?!"
"Who knew Kiki had it in him! Especially since he usually hates talking to people!"
"We got the masks back, and we managed to clear Ogerpon's name! Now that's what I call a happy ending!"
"One last thing to do—let's escort Ogerpon back to its home!"
Dreaded Den
"Well, here we are!"
"It's a bit lonely out here, but I guess this place must mean a lot to Ogerpon."
"Hey, you know what? I think Ogerpon might want to go with you, <player>."
"Kiki..."
"Hey, Kiki... I know you really love Ogerpon. I really, honestly understand. But...you have to think about Ogerpon's feelings too."
  • If talked to before battling Kieran
"Sorry, <player>. Help him get over himself."
  • After the player defeats Kieran
"Oh, Kiki..."
"I think it's time for you to catch Ogerpon, <player>."
  • In battle, watching the player fight Ogerpon
After Ogerpon Terastallizes for the first time: "It Terastallized its mask! So this is what Ogerpon's really capable of..."
After the player first lands a supereffective move: "Look at you, adapting to Ogerpon's type! I knew you could handle this."
???: "You can't catch it yet! You need to show Ogerpon more of what you can do!"
  • After the player defeats Teal Mask Ogerpon
"I think that's everything Ogerpon's got! Now's your chance to catch it!"
  • After the player catches Ogerpon
"Hey, well done, <player>! That was pretty impressive!"
"Ugh. I hate when he gets like that..."
"Don't worry 'bout him. He's the one who said the winner gets to become Ogerpon's partner."
"Come on. Let's head home."
Loyalty Plaza
  • If talked to
"There you are! You took your time! You really battled great yesterday, <player>."
"I guess the Mask Retrieval Squad has completed its mission."
"Though Kiki... Well, he's shut himself in his room ever since he got home yesterday."
Regardless of choice: "Yeah..."
"Oh, but you don't need to feel guilty or anything, <player>. It all started 'cause I said we should keep the whole Ogerpon thing a secret... And you wouldn't think it, but...Kiki's got a bit of an ego too! He doesn't take losing well."
"Anyway, how's Ogerpon doing? I'll be honest, I've grown real fond of Ogerpon myself! Guess Kiki's rubbed off on me a bit."
"Do you think you could let me have a battle with Ogerpon?"
No: "You're not still angry about me giving you a hard time when you first got here, are you? C'mon, I just wanna make some memories!"
Yes: "I knew you'd say yes! You're not one to turn down a good battle. Let me know when you're ready!"
  • If talked to after, with Ogerpon absent from the player's party
"Hey, you gotta have Ogerpon on your team! Talk to me once you've got it, OK?"
  • If talked to after, with Ogerpon in the player's party
"I see you've got Ogerpon on your team! I think its battle style changes depending on its mask, so is it all set and ready to go?"
  • If talked to after, if Ogerpon was released
"Ogerpon isn't in your team OR in your Boxes? Oh well... Do you still wanna battle?"
No: "Come talk to me when you're ready to say yes."
Yes: "Right. Let's get to our positions."
  • In battle
After sending out first Pokémon: "You made me wake up early for this, you know! You'd better make it worth my time!"
After the player first lands a supereffective move: "Yeesh, you really hit where it hurts, don't you? I bet you're REAL popular back home!"
After the player sends out Ogerpon: "Don’t blame me if Ogerpon changes its mind and wants to join up with me after this!"
Upon first using Sinistcha's Matcha Gotcha: "Time to stir things up a bit. Better be on your guard, or this move will getcha!"
Upon being defeated: "Sheesh! You're seriously too strong!"
  • After being defeated
"Aaagh, I lost! But I'm also not surprised! You and Ogerpon really do get along, don't you? It's almost making me jealous."
  • After being defeated, if Ogerpon was released
"Aaagh, I lost! But I'm also not surprised! I wanted to see what Ogerpon could do in battle, but oh well..."
"I actually, uh... Sheesh, this is awkward to tell you, but I—"
"Message received, loud and clear!"
"She's right about it being the briefest amount of time. We only just became friends, and now we..."
"Oh well. Let's go see what the nosy old guy wants."
"I don't really want to, but...I guess I can play nice one last time."
Mossui Town
"... ... ..."
"Yes... Unfortunately my brother's not feeling well, so it's just me here to speak..."
"Anyway, as you all know, this village is where I was born. And I'll be honest—I didn't want any outsiders coming here at all!"
"It felt like our home was being turned into a tourist trap for a buncha ignorant strangers... But then we spent some time together, and none of you were the way I imagined you'd be at all... You were all really nice once I actually talked to you! I shouldn't have been so quick to judge people I didn't know anything about. So I guess what I'm trying to say is...I had fun! Thank you all so much for visiting our village!"
"Especially you, <player>... I'm glad you came to visit. I mean, it's not like this is good-bye forever... Blueberry Academy has tons of strong Trainers! You'd better come visit soon!"
"Oh, I almost forgot—I still need to get packed and everything!"
"This is NOT good-bye, OK? We're definitely gonna see each other again!"
Coastal Rest Area
  • After completing the assignment
"Hey, this is <player>'s phone, right? It's me! Carmine! I heard the news! You got picked for Blueberry Academy's exchange program, right?"
Yes: "Hah! One of my teachers told me. Never thought we'd be fellow students of BB Academy!"
No: "Nice try, but you can't fool me! I've already got solid confirmation you've been enrolled here!"
"Anyway, you should totally come show your face. It's been too long already! Now, let me think... Where could we meet up? Oh! Have you been to the Terarium? There's a space called the Central Plaza right in the center of the dome! I'll meet you there! Don't keep me waiting if you know what's good for you!"
Central Plaza
"So yeah, things are a bit rough right now..."
"Long time no see, <player>! I bet you missed me, huh?"
Yes: "Hehe... Honesty is the best policy, eh?"
No: "What?! Did your wonderful memories of me all wither away since we last saw each other?"
"Ah—OK, see you round! That's one of my classmates. She's an interesting one! Hm. Speaking of classmates... It feels kinda weird seeing you here at my school. And look at you! You haven't changed at all since we last met! As for me, well, I've been helping Ms. Briar with her research. We've been to all sorts of different regions! It's made my Pokémon a lot stronger than they were the last time we battled! Ehehe, you wanna see? Oh, you totally wanna see. Well, we have a battle court right here, so... Get into position! OK, you ready for a Double Battle? You won't know what hit you!"
  • In battle
After sending out first Pokémon: "I'll give you a special treat since you came all this way! Get ready to eat Terarium dirt!"
After the player first lands a supereffective move: "Hey, stop that! Why don't you use one of those not-very-effective moves sometimes?!"
After the player first lands a critical hit: "There you go with the big hits! Maybe I should teach you a lesson or two in kindness, hm?"
After the player sends out Ogerpon: "Oh hey, Ogerpon! Aww, you must've really missed me, huh?"
Upon Terastallizing her Sinistcha: "That's it—I'm ready to go all out! Heh heh... Time for me to Tera it up!"
Upon first using Sinistcha's Matcha Gotcha: "Go on, Sinistcha! Give 'em a nice blast of matcha for me!"
Upon being defeated: "That did NOT go the way I had planned..."
  • After battle
"Agh! I got so much stronger once I could Terastallize my Pokémon, but you just had to go and get even stronger, didn't you?! You still don't hold back in battles, huh? Another thing that hasn't changed a bit... Hey, by the way...have you, uh, run into Kiki yet?"
No, I haven't/Something happen?:"Oh, never mind... If you haven't seen him yet, it's fine."
"Wait, that's—"
"I knew it! That's Kieran. Phew, he almost saw us..."
Wait, that's Kieran?!/He looks different!: "Shhh! Keep your voice down!"
"...Not what you were expecting, right? Kiki looks different, acts different... He hasn't been the same since we got back from the school trip..."
"Urk!"
"What a lovely surprise! Just the annoying bozo I didn't want to run into."
"This is Drayton...and he's the worst. He's the strongest Trainer at Blueberry Academy. Well, he WAS, at least."
"This is <player>. He/She's here on a foreign exchange program. He/She's my friend, and—"
"Huh? Why do you need to do that?!"
"Hey! Hold on! Gah! See? I told you he was the worst! Look at him, just assuming we'll go along with whatever! I'm going with you."
Blueberry Academy
"Hey, are you sure this is a good idea? You know, 'cause..."
"If you say so..."
"You're not wrong, but seriously? That's how you explain it to new people?"
"I'm a member of the club too. I don't show up to the clubroom very much, though. Just FYI, the top four Pokémon Trainers in the BB League are called the BB League Elite Four. And this annoying toothpaste-haired bozo is one of them. So is that girl you saw with me at the Terarium earlier."
"I've just been too busy with extracurricular stuff! Haven't had time for League matches. If we're talking actual skill, I'm WAY above any of the Elite Four!"
"Huh? What do you mean, "trial basis"?!"
If spoken to: "It looks like Drayton's set on you doing this. Just play along, OK?"
  • After contributing BP
"Those snacks are all yours, Drayton—snacks you leave around opened and half-finished. I wouldn't go near any of 'em. Who knows how long they've been sitting around."
"A wha—?!"
"Aaagh! That bozo! Seriously, what is his problem? And a cafeteria date? What does he even mean by that?!"
Calm down, Carmine: "Just so you know, this is not excitement over the date thing. It's anger."
Well, a date is...: "No, I KNOW what a date is... Were you seriously about to explain it to me?"
"*sigh* Sorry. Being in here puts me on edge. Let's go somewhere else. Someplace people won't bother us... I know! Let's go to your room."
If spoken to: "You don't know where your room is? Just wander around, and you'll find it eventually."
  • Your Dorm Room
"Well, it looks like this is your room. Most BB students live in the dorms, you know. So, what do you think? How's it compare to the dorm rooms back at your school?"
So blue!: "Well, we're at BLUEberry Academy... 'Course it's blue!"
So new!: "Heh, you bet it's new! State of the art, in fact!"
About the same!: "Whaaat? Psh, that's no fun... Well, you can come have a look at my room later, too, if you want."
"You can come have a look at my room later, too, if you want. Oh, but I got distracted. There's something I need to tell you! It's about Drayton and...well, Kiki."
About Drayton?: "Ugh, Drayton... Don't trust that knucklehead! He might seem like a slacker, but don't let him fool you! He's up to something! He's a real annoying super jerk! He barely even goes to class! He's had to repeat the same year three times! Point is, don't let your guard around him...ever!"
About Kieran?: "Kiki is... Well, you saw how he is. He's scaring me nowadays. Ever since we got back from Kitakami, it's like he's become a totally different person. He's been battling and training every day... He's even cutting back on sleep. He's...he's definitely gotten stronger. Drayton used to be the strongest student here, but Kiki beat him. Now Kiki's the president of the League Club AND the BB League Champion. I guess he must be pretty busy... He barely talks to me anymore. Oh well! He's probably just going through a rebellious phase. Kieran's changed...but you? You've stayed the same. If Kieran's down to just one friend these days, I'm glad it's you. Keep sticking with him, would you?"
Yes:"Thank you!"
No:"Can't you read the room? You were supposed to say yes!"
If you have not selected both dialogue options: "And there's one more thing I need to tell you about!"
"You're going on your date—I mean, you're gonna go hang our with Drayton later, right? I'd go with, but if I don't finish up this report today, I'm really gonna be in trouble... I'd love for you to join the League Club... But if Drayton gives you any trouble, don't be afraid to give him a good Sucker Punch!"
If spoken to: "If Drayton says anything stupid, just hit him with a Sucker Punch!"
  • Entrance
"Kiki! You shouldn't talk to <player> like that..."
"... ... ... I'm sorry, <player>! Kiki was really acting out, wasn't he? That was my first time talking to him in a while, too. Man, such an attitude..."
"Drayton, you're the one who dragged <player> into all this BB League drama, aren't you?!"
"I dunno, I think something fishy's going on... But, well...if you're gonna do this, you might as well do your best. I'll be cheering for you. And please...keep an eye on Kiki for me."
  • Class 1-4
"Oh please. You're not old enough for that yet!"
"What's this thing you wanted to tell us about?"
"Area Zero?! That's that place in Paldea you wanted to visit, right?! You got permission?!"
"Uh, well... I think it's already decided that I'm going."
"Suuure. You just can't be bothered to travel all the way to Paldea, can you?"
  • Entrance
"Well, I'm... I'm fine, anyway..."
"Oh... Well, that's good."
Area Zero
"Whoa... This is incredible."
"Eeek! You scared me! Honestly! You're too big to come popping out like that, er...Whatchama-don!"
"Wait, hold on. Doesn't the "depths" imply he was as deep as he could get?"
"Whoa, this place is insane! It reminds me of the Crystal Pool!"
"Sooo, you're saying we should head inside this..."Zero Lab"?"
"Huh? Oh, you're right."
"What do we do now, <player>? You've been here before, right?"
"What's the matter? Something wrong with it?"
"Relax. It's just one of those computerized voices. It's not any different than a TM Machine."
"Oooh, how fun! Go on, <player>! Do it! You have my permission!"
"Let's head on in!"
If spoken to: "C'mon, hurry up! You take the lead!"
  • Zero Lab
"It's WAY too dark in here! I just smacked my head on something!"
"Wow, Kiki... Sounds like someone's finally breaking out of their funk, hmmm?"
"She's busy rummaging through, like, a whole stack of documents over there."
"Huh, you're awfully considerate all of a sudden."
"Ms. Briar, look! An elevator! Maybe it can take us further down? You wanted to go down, right?"
  • In the elevator
"That's...what elevators do."
"You know, it's moving pretty fast, actually... It almost feels like I'm floating!"
"Now that you mention it, yeah... Something about an elevator being redirected, right?"
"So...where exactly is this thing taking us?"
"... ... ..."
Area Zero Underdepths
"So...what? Are we under Area Zero or something?"
"Man, Area Zero was already a lot to take in... I don't think anything's gonna surprise me at this point, no matter what we run into."
"What are desks doing down here?!"
"I dunno how she can get so excited in a bizarre place like this..."
"Let's keep moving. Stay on guard, everyone..."
"What IS this? It's like a crystal trying to be a flower. It's completely blocked up the path..."
"Hey, what about Whatchama-don, that Pokémon you ride on! Couldn't it smash through?"
"Hey, get back! You know you're no good in a battle, Ms. Briar!"
"Kiki- No, <player>! You should handle this!"
"Good work, <player>!"
"Did knocking out that sparkling Pokémon make the crystal flower disappear?"
"Uh...so what's all that mean?"
"Wait, was THAT supposed to be the so-called hidden treasure we're looking for?"
  • After defeating the wild Tera Noivern
"Good job, <player>! The crystal thing is gone now!"
"That Pokémon's called KoraidonS/MiraidonV, right? Boy, it can really jump!"
"We're on a roll! Let's keep on moving!"
"OK, Kiki—your turn to call over <player>!"
"Quit your blabbering! Just do it!"
"Well, Kiki? Isn't there something you wanted to say to <player>?"
"Gah. He's so stubborn!"
"Just so you know, we were also fending off wild Pokémon while you were away. So me and my team are just about spent!"
"Sinistcha's all I've got left, so if something happens, you'd better save me!"
"Huh, you're right! Mine is, too."
"Are we FINALLY at the finish line?"
"Hey, where d'you think you're going?!"
"Wha—?! Not you too!"
"Those two sometimes... I swear..."
  • Terapagos's cavern
"What IS this place...? The vibes here are on a totally different level."
"Kiki! You're still going on about that nonsense?!"
"But, Kiki—you did your best, too!"
"You were being all nasty toward him/her at first, but then boom! You were like best friends in no time!"
"I... Well..."
"That was Terapagos? You...caught it, right?"
If spoken to: "Are...are you sure it's safe to battle with a Pokémon we barely know anything about...?"
  • After defeating Kieran
"Kiki, that's enough! It's time to stop this—"
  • After Kieran Terastallizes Terapagos
"Things are getting out of hand, Kiki!"
"You should return Terapagos to its ball!"
  • During the battle with Terapagos
At the start of the battle: "C'mon, Kiki, you need to do something too! We've got to get Terapagos under control!"
After Terapagos enters its second phase: "You need to get in there and battle, Kiki! <player> is doing all the work!"
After Terapagos enters its third phase: "Kiki! <player>'s in trouble! You need to HELP HIM/HER!"
When Kieran first joins the battle: "Honestly... Better late than never, I guess! The two of you need to clean this whole mess up!"
After Terapagos enters its final phase: "Time to end this, you two! You have my permission to go all out!"
  • After the player catches Terapagos
"Is...is it over?"
"You should be! You're completely fixated on this Terastal stuff! You gotta keep your obsessiveness in check!"
"I swear! I've got such a silly younger brother..."
"*sniff* You finally...let it go..."
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
  • Blueberry Academy
"Whew. Finally home."
"Heeey!"
"We're gonna leave you two behind if you don't hurry up!"
Mossui Town
  • At the community center
"... ... ..."
"M...mo... Mochi MOCHI!!!"
Regardless of choice: "Mochi! Mochi! MOCHI! MOCHI!!!"
Loyalty Plaza
  • If talked to before battling Nemona
"Mochi mochi!"
"Kiki! And...<player>?!"
"What the heck is going on?! Why is everyone up here?! Someone better start explaining!"
"Actually... Huh. What a weird feeling..."
"Somehow it feels like...I'm seeing you for the first time in ages."
Mossui Town
  • Outside the community center
"Hey, you guys! Are you really going home already? No one would mind if you stayed longer."
I'll come back again!: "Yeah... You'd better!"
Yep, time to head home!: "Ugh, what kind of a response is that? This is where you're supposed to say you'll miss us or that you'll visit again soon or something!"
"Are you kidding me?! You battled each of us a dozen times or more!"
"Aw, I guess that means my vacation's over too... Time for me to head back to school too, then!"
"Don't worry about it, Arven. Feel free to flex on Kiki as much as you like. I'll allow it."
"Excuse me?! Who do you think you're apologizing for?!"
"And, YOU guys! What do you mean by "big personality"?!"
League Club room, after finishing Mochi Mayhem
  • First visit
"Look at that—you came to say hi all on your own! Finally learning some manners, huh?"
"Anyways, hey! Kiki’s back in school, which means I am too! So whenever you see me, you’d better come say hi—within two seconds flat! No dillydallying!"
You got it!: "Really? Didn’t think you’d agree just like that! You didn’t hit your head or anything, did you?"
Do I have to...?: "Ehehehe! That sour look you get is the best—I just love it!"
"It’s weird to be back in school, though... I was in Kitakami long enough that it feels crowded here."
"You know how Mossui Town is—there’s just nothing there! I mean, that’s what I like about it, but still."
  • Second visit
"Hey, <player>... You didn’t take any videos or anything of me doing that mochi-mochi dance, right?!"
None at all: "Oh, thank goodness! I know a Pokémon was controlling me and everything, but it’s still the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever done!"
Well, actually...: "WHAT?! Delete it! Delete everything, right now!"
"How do you think that’d look when I become famous? I’d never hear the end of it!"
"What was the whole deal with that Pokémon, anyway? Pecharunt, right? Is it just me, or does something about it remind you of the Lousy Three?"
Yeah, kinda! / You think?: "I swear it’s not just my imagination. I bet they’re connected somehow!"
"But it’s not like we can ask the Pokémon about all this... I guess the truth will always be a mystery!"
  • Third visit
"Come to say hi all on your own, eh? Good, good!"
"Hey, so, um... How're things with Kiki these days?"
We get along great!: "Oh? Well, that's good."
All right, I guess: "Well, that's better than bad at least..."
"He's...working hard now. Trying to make things right with the school, the club-everything."
"I'd like it if you could support-actually no, forget I said anything. Just be his friend, OK?"
Of course!: "Yeah... Why am I even asking? You two are friends already!"
If you say so!: "Yeah! Make sure he has a solid friend, so I can stop worrying!"
"Seriously though, maybe I'm a bit overprotective, huh? I guess I'll try to dial it back a little... I'll still keep an eye on him, but I won't overdo it. Makes me feel kinda lonely thinking about it though..."
"Aw, now I'm getting all sentimental. This is your fault, y'know. You need to do something to cheer me up! Lemme think... Oh, I know! You're gonna trade Pokémon with me, OK?"
Yes: "That's the correct answer! I'll be trading Poltchageist. What about you?"
If the player only has one Pokémon in their party: "Hold on—don’t you know that you can’t trade if you only have one Pokémon with you? Talk to me when you have at least two Pokémon on your team!"
After selecting a Pokémon: "So, you're trading your <Pokémon> for my Poltchaegist?"
No: "Ugh... you don't wanna trade?! Why not?!"
Talking to her after refusing: "I knew it! You want to trade with Pokémon me after all, don't you?"
After the trade: "<Pokémon>, huh... Wasn't expecting a nice Pokémon like that from you! Don't you worry-I'll take extra good care of it!"
  • Rematch
"Hey, you seem bored. Want me to battle you?"
Yes: "Heh heh... I'll show you what real talent looks like!"
If the player only has one Pokémon in their party: "Wait, you only have one Pokémon with you, <player>! I wanna have a Double Battle!"
No: "You're saying no? To ME?! You know you're gonna regret that, right?"
  • In battle
Upon sending her last Pokémon: "Always pushing people into corners-I'm gonna wipe that smirk off your face, you'll see!"
Upon Terastallizing her Sinistcha: "Don't think you can steal the spotlight from me! Time for some Tera action!"
Upon having her Terastallized Sinistcha use Matcha Gotcha: "Don't be shy-let me stir things up for you!"
Upon being defeated: "I think I won here-in spirit, anyway..."
  • After player wins first battle
"Ugh, I totally would’ve won if I’d picked a different move earlier!"
"But yeah, I ended up eating dirt. You’re, like, the only one who can make me do that, you know."
"Oh! Hold on a sec. I got something good for you."
Player receives Joke Glasses (Sinistcha): "Those glasses will look great on you. You should wear them every day!"
  • After subsequent battles
If defeated by the player: "Just to be clear, I LET you win, OK?"
Player obtains a reward
"You're gonna get a whooping next time! You'll see!"
If defeated the player: "Heh heh heh! See, that’s what I can do when I decide to go all out! Feel free to hand over the title of BB League Champion whenever you want!"
  • Talking to after rematch
"It's almost scary how you just fit right in pretty much everywhere you go-the academy, this club, you name it! You'd make a good spy."
"Ever wonder why Kiki and I talk so differently? Easy answer-I'm just way cooler!"
"Hey, how's Ogerpon doing? It feels like it's been so long since the brave Mask Retrieval Squad took on the Lousy Three!"
"Your <Pokémon> is really cooperative! Maybe you could learn a thing or two from it."
"That Poltchageist I traded you is real nice to have around, isn't it? It's always ready to serve up a steaming cup of boiling hot tea!"

"He looks super bossy! So annoying! Blueberry Academy is just as good a facility, y'know!"
"Huh?! What's that supposed to mean?"
"Anyway, long time no see! I didn't know you guys were here too!"
"Oh, by the way, where's Juliana? Didn't she come with you guys?"
"I knew it!"
"She's got some nerve not even saying hi to me!"
"OK, fine! Whatever! I'll just go find her myself!"
Story Event - From Kitakami—Continued
  • A Story from Not Long Ago
"If you two were already here, why didn't you come see me sooner?"
"When I heard you'd arrived, I looked all over for you!"
"Anyway..."
"This is Pasio Academy? It's nothing special compared to Blueberry Academy."
"Stop that nonsense, Kiki! They won't take you seriously with that attitude!"
"You're the ex-Champion of the League Club, so have some pride, will you?"
  • Fierce Siblings from Blueberry Academy
"No way."
"I was too busy with extracurricular stuff! Didn't have time for League matches."
"But if we're talking actual skill, I'm WAY above any of the Elite Four!"
"What's with that look?! You think I'm lying?"
"You wanna battle us on your home turf? OK, bring it on!"
"I'll show you how strong I am—and teach you a lesson!"
  • A Challenge at Pasio Academy
"...Fine, I guess you pass. Barely."
"I would've crushed you if I could Terastallize on this island, too."
"But you can only Terastallize under special circumstances!"
"In that case, why didn't you tell me sooner?!"
"Sheesh! Then I should've used it during our battle just now!"
"Don't have to tell me twice!"
"Huh? It's not reacting at all!"
"In that case, I'll be the pioneer of Sync Terastallizing!"
"I won't let Juliana, Kiki, or anyone on Pasio surpass me!"
"Now that that's decided, the only thing left for me to do is just go for it! Time to storm Pasio Academy!"
  • Hidden Feelings Behind a Strong Front
"Huh? Did you follow me here?"
"Hah. Then it's too little, too late!"
"I can Sync Terastallize now!"
"I kind of just figured it out while battling her!"
"I'm SUCH a genius!"
"Hah! I like your honesty. Go on—respect me even more!"
"What? Can you see ghosts or something?"
"Haha! You're pretty interesting!"
"OK. I should go show Juliana and Kiki what I just did right away."
"Um..."
"Earlier you said Pokémon battles are a shortcut to making friends, right?"
"If you're willing to be friends with Kiki..."
"could you look after him awhile?"
"I'm only gonna tell you 'cause you seem like a genuine person, but..."
"there was a time Kiki caused a lot of trouble 'cause he got so carried away trying to win."
"So if he ever seems stressed about something, could you lend him an ear?"
"OK. That's a relief."
"Huh?! What do you mean?"
"Hmm... Something about this feels so familiar."
"Oh, I know. You sort of remind me of my friend who's kind of an idiot!"
"Heheh! How's that?"
"Hah! I like that look—keep being disappointed!"
"This favor's gonna cost you!"
Six-Year Anniversary Event - Terastal Festival
  • Appointed Representatives
"Heh. You're all pretty good."
"Hmph! He's just showing off!"
"Maybe your partner Pokémon are special?"
"In any case! We taught you how to Sync Terastallize, so you better nail it at the event!"
  • Will You Be My Friend?
  • Off-screen, as "???"
"Hey, Florian! I heard about your situation!"
  • After appearing, as Carmine
"I'm gonna dig up everything there is to know about you!"
"You already know so much about us."
"And yet, I know nothing about you! That's not fair!"
"Hey, Florian. It's not like I don't believe your story, but..."
"This won't feel right until I see your skills firsthand!"
"So with that said..."
"The big sis goes first! That means the little brother has to wait!"
"*sigh* I guess..."
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Carmine
"...Fine, I guess you pass. Barely."
"It seems Sinistcha approves of you, too."
"Curious about my Sinistcha? It's quite rare in other regions, huh?"
"You know how Kitakami is—there's just nothing there! At least, that's what I think."
"But for outsiders, the Pokémon that live there might seem rare."
  • Off-screen
"I met this Sinistcha in Kitakami when it was a Poltchageist, then I raised and evolved it."
"For Sinistcha, Kitakami feels like home."
  • On-screen
"When outsiders showed up, Sinistcha and I would teach them a lesson."
"The same thing happened when Juliana came to Mossui Town."
"We gave her a first taste of Kitakami—to see if she was worthy of entering the village."
"When me and Sinistcha team up, anyone can come at us, and we'll take them down!"
"Oh, by the way, did you know?"
"Sinistcha has two forms. It can be either Unremarkable Form or Masterpiece Form."
"Masterpiece Form Sinistcha is said to be highly valued among collectors."
What's your Sinistcha?: "Hehe! You really wanna know, don't you."
Is yours perhaps...?: "Hehe! Do you think it's Masterpiece Form?"
"Mine is..."
"Unremarkable Form!"
"Did you really think I cared it isn't rare?"
"To me, this Sinistcha is the most valuable Pokémon."
"I think true value is something you decide for yourself."
"It's way more important than what anyone else thinks."
"And honestly..."
"If I'm the one raising it, even something unremarkable will become a masterpiece!"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Sygna Suit Carmine
"Oh? Come to say hi all on your own, eh? Good, good!"
"It serves others its poisonous Binding Mochi..."
"and turns the people and Pokémon who eat it into its underlings! What a real annoying super jerk!"
"But now that we're a sync pair, I've been learning more about my partner."
"Penny's been helping me, since she's so good at digging up intel."
"It's a long story, so I'll just summarize."
"According to one theory, Pecharunt once lived with an old married couple."
"And Pecharunt serves mochi that draws out the desires and capabilities of those who eat it. So..."
"The old couple got greedy and wanted masks from the Land of Kitakami."
"Pecharunt, hoping for more praise, rounded up some underlings and headed to the Land of Kitakami."
"But when it tried to take the masks, the owner got upset and gave Pecharunt a walloping."
"So Pecharunt retreated into its shell and entered a deep slumber. And that's the story!"
Maybe it just wanted to make the old couple happy.: "Hmm... So that's what you two think, huh."
Maybe it didn't mean any harm.: "I wonder..."
"Listen, when it comes to Pecharunt, you have to be careful what you believe."
"Back in the Land of Kitakami, Pecharunt's underlings—who were the WORST—went down in history as heroes."
"There's no way to know how true the legend is!"
"But..."
"I suppose it's not fair to assume the worst."
"So I'll keep a close watch—and figure out whether the legends are true!"
"Now that we're partners, I won't let you get away with being a menace."
"But if you're good, I'll take care of you as MY underling!"

  • Random conversation
"I'm a student at Blueberry Academy, so I can't just battle every day."
"I've gotta study too, y'know?"
"What about you? Don't you have to study?"
"Hehe... I should totally put you to the test next time!"
  • Random conversation
"Pasio feels like one big resort that hosts festivals all year round."
"But honestly, nothing beats the Festival of Masks in Kitakami."
"Why? Uh... Well, the energy there is just on another level!"
  • Random conversation
"When it comes to Kitakami souvenirs, apples and mochi are super popular."
"But I've had a rough time with mochi, so I'm not eating one anytime soon."
"Kiki knows what happened the last time I had one, but..."
"Don't even think about asking him what it was! It's the most embarrassing thing I've ever done!"
  • Random conversation
"Seriously, what's up with this island?! There are ridiculously strong people all over!"
"And honestly, some of them try to start a battle without even saying a word. Such bad manners, if you ask me!"
"I mean, I am a talented Trainer, so I can handle it, but..."
"How am I supposed to go for a walk like this?"
  • Random conversation
"<player>, you've been staring at me for a while now."
"Feel free to be dazzled by how great I look!"
"While you're distracted by my beauty, I'll give you a good thrashing!"
"What's that? You were only staring 'cause I'm funny?!"
  • Random conversation
"There's not much in Kitakami."
"It's not crowded with people or full of buildings like the city."
"But maybe that's what makes it nice. I feel safe when I'm back home."
  • If spoken to again
"On home turf, my win rate's close to 100%!"
"When you come to Kitakami, I'll make you eat dirt!"
  • Random conversation
"You get along with Kiki, right?"
"I'm trying not to overthink it or anything... People his age act up in a way, y'know?"
"But honestly, as long as he's having fun, I'm cool with it!"
  • If spoken to again
"Kiki's always been a tough brother to handle, so as his older sister, I feel like I have to look out for him."
"I can't just leave him on his own."
  • Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
"It's nice wearing a gorgeous outfit like this, but I still feel like it's missing something..."
"Maybe I need a mask? I always used to wear one to the festivals in Kitakami!"
"I need one that'll match who I am now... Why don't you choose one for me?"
  • Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
"Pecharunt chucks strange mochi at people and Pokémon to take control of them."
"Anyone who eats the mochi becomes Pecharunt's underling."
"Just thinking about it makes me angry! It's a million years too early for anyone to control ME!"
  • Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
"I really stand out with this gorgeous outfit and natural beauty!"
"I bet anyone could spot me, even in a crowd!"
"If you need to find someone, I give you permission to use me as a landmark!"
  • Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
"Nemona and the others never have a good answer whenever I ask them what the secret to their strength is..."

"Rushing won't lead to anything useful."
"I'll be the best someday...at my own pace!"
  • Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
"Do you have any embarrassing moments from the past that you'd rather forget, <player>?"

"Hey, don't be difficult! Just nod and agree with me!"
  • Random conversation (Sygna Suit)
"My homeland, the Land of Kitakami, is really special to me."
"That's why I feel icky when outsiders come piling in from other places!"
"Well...I guess you're OK. It wouldn't bug me if you stayed."
  • If spoken to again
"The Land of Kitakami is out in the countryside. It doesn't have any cool hangouts or anything like that."
"If you're looking for a place to relax, come visit sometime! You can even munch on apples while you're at it."
  • Special log-in conversation (generic)
"There you are, <player>! Just because we didn't agree to meet doesn't mean you get to keep me waiting!"

Friendship Story - A Special Day with Carmine: Part 1
"Hmm... Looks fun, I guess."
"Pasio's festivals have a nice vibe—though not quite as good as Kitakami's!"
"Hey, stop spacing out, would you?"
"You're hanging out with someone as good-looking as me—you should be having way more fun!"
"Hmm... Pasio's food stalls serve dishes from all kinds of regions, huh."
"See anything you want to try, <player>?"
(Say you want a candy apple.): "Hehehe... You've got kiddie taste buds, just like Kiki!"
(Say you want fried noodles.): "Oh, so you DO know what's up!"
"Nothing says "festival" like a bunch of super-salty fried food!"
"All right, my treat today!"
"Nope, not taking no for an answer! You're one of my grunts, and I feel like treating you. Just enjoy it!"
"Come on—time for a little spending spree!"
"Ah, we really did a lot today! I guess it wasn't such a bad day after all."
"...What?"
"You...think I'm being nicer than usual?"
"Huuuh?! I'm ALWAYS nice!"
"Hmm... So that still wasn't enough, huh..."
"Ah, don't mind me! Just talking to myself!"
"Anyway, that's it for today! You better show up next time I invite you, too, OK?"
Friendship Story - A Special Day with Carmine: Part 2
"Why, you ask?"
"No big reason. I just thought it'd be cool to hang out."
"That look on your face... You don't seem convinced."
"Ugh, fine! I'll explain!"
"The truth is..."
"You've really helped me out since I came to Pasio, <player>."
"You showed me around and helped me find my feet."
"But..."
"I didn't want to keep feeling like I owed you... That's REALLY not my style!"
"So this is me paying you back, OK?"
"Don't question it! Just let me be nice!"
(Promise her you'll have fun.): "Yeah, if I don't see you smile, I'll feel like I still owe you something!"
(Thank her.): "Hehehe, that's more like it! It better be from the bottom of your heart!"
"Ugh, come on! Just follow me already!"
"I've still got so many places to show you!"
