In the core series games

Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Mission 2 - "The Galaxy Team's Entry Trial"

Galaxy Hall (His office)

"I have been waiting for you!"

"I am Kamado, commander of the Galaxy Expedition Team!"

"Hrrrm... So, you are <player>."

Yes, sir!: "Hrrrm!"

It's an honor: "You know your manners, at least."

Uh...: "A simple yes or no will do."

"I've been briefed on your situation—including how you fell from the rift in the sky."

"Now then... Let's see what you're made of!"

"Face me in combat!"

Regardless of choice: "Hyah!"

"Hrrrm! You’ve got some fight in you! Your sumo needs work, but I do see some potential...*/Hrrrm! You've got vigor—I'll give you that! You need to work on your sumo technique, but I do see some potential...*"

"Don't expect a warm welcome from everyone! Naturally, some will be slow to trust an outsider who literally fell right out of the blue. The superstitious among us might see your arrival as a portent of disaster!"

"But you passed the trial that was put to you. No matter how odd you may seem, you're part of Jubilife Village now."

"Dedicate yourself to the work of the Galaxy Expedition Team, and complete the Pokédex!"

"But I warn you, <player>... Pokémon are terrifying creatures. Keep your wits about you as you work!"

Mission 6 - "Summoned by Commander Kamado"

Galaxy Hall (His office)

• After the player defeats/catches the alpha Kricketune

"You do get right to the point, Adaman..."

"Well, tell me—what would you have us do? Kleavor is a precious lord of the Pearl Clan, is he not?"

"Hrrrm. I see you've arrived."

"This is <player>, the newest member of our Survey Corps."

"I have a proposition. Why not send this one to study Kleavor before deciding what must be done?"

"We do not use Poké Balls from a desire to control our Pokémon. Only so that we can live together. Allow us to show you what we can do!"

"This is your mission now, <player>. I order you to study Kleavor and help us find the truth of this situation!"

Regardless of choice: "Remember that you are a stranger who appeared one day out of the very sky above us. People are naturally suspicious of your presence here."

"If you wish to be fully accepted and trusted, you must work hard. Work yourself to the very bone."

"Listen to me. The Galaxy Expedition Team has come to the Hisui region as a group of outsiders. Some might even call us interlopers. We mustn't do anything to threaten our relations with the Diamond and Pearl Clans. Understand?"

• If talked to again

"If we're to survive here in Hisui, we must learn about the Pokémon surrounding us. If they stand against us or would do us harm, then we will subdue them...as we must."

Mission 7 - "The Frenzy of the Lord of the Woods"

Galaxy Hall (His office)

• After the player quells Kleavor's frenzy

"Hrrrm. Well done!"

"I have already received the reports of your exploits. You successfully quelled Kleavor's frenzy, restoring peace of mind to Hisui's people."

"You are a stranger to us—one who fell out of the very sky. Yet you have served the Galaxy Team admirably. I admit you have earned yourself some degree of recognition."

"But things are not settled yet. I've received word that there are other Pokémon nobles falling prey to such frenzies elsewhere in Hisui."

"So carry on with your research and survey duties, and prove that you truly are an asset to us!"

"That is all. You are dismissed. Your fellow Survey Corps members are likely at the Wallflower. Go and join them."

Mission 8 - "Arezu's Predicament"

Galaxy Hall (His office)

"Hrrrm... So it's come to Ursaluna as well..."

"This suggests that even Pokémon that are not nobles can become frenzied..."

"I have received no word from Adaman or Irida... But this is not something we can simply ignore."

"In any case, you have my thanks, Miss Arezu. You did well to inform us of Ursaluna's situation."

"Ursaluna's warden is Mistress Calaba of the Pearl Clan, is it not?"

"Of all the wardens, she is the most narrow-minded— Ahem! Bound by tradition. She likely does not take kindly to outsiders meddling in her affairs."

"I have a new mission for you, <player>. I order you to study Ursaluna in the Crimson Mirelands! I permit you to show your strength if necessary!"

• After the player befriends Ursaluna

"If Arezu of the Diamond Clan was somehow involved in that situation with the raging Ursaluna of the Pearl Clan, it could lead to the two clans going at each other's throats again!"

"We would be forced to remain neutral..."

"If we were to show support for one side, it would put us at odds with the other. We came here to create a home for ourselves, not to take part in tearing the land apart..."

"<player>, perhaps you have some idea how we might address this situation?"

"If you are strong enough that Ursaluna deemed you worthy, then you should be ready to quell Lilligant's frenzy as well."

"Listen well, <player>. You must quell any Pokémon that could cause harm to the people of Hisui. Always remember: we came here to make a new home where we could live without war or strife."

• After the player quells Lilligant's frenzy

"So you successfully calmed Lilligant."

"Excellent."

"There may well be times when the Galaxy Team will be forced to fight against Pokémon, but it is all for the sake of creating a new home for ourselves, free from war and strife!"

"...A stranger falls into our world from a rift in space-time... Then frenzies are induced by strange lightning, which likewise falls from that very same rift..."

"But you have no connection to the lightning. Isn't that right? We may need to investigate the rift itself to prove your motives are beyond impugning."

Jubilife Village (Floaro Main Street)

• After completing Mission 8

"I am pleased that you have found a worthy successor for your establishment, Edith."

"If you are to work here in Jubilife Village, you are family to us, no matter who you are or where you're from. Welcome, Arezu."

"And you, <player>... You will come with me."

"To Prelude Beach!"

Jubilife Village (Prelude Beach)

"These people have just arrived here in Hisui. They will live together with us in Jubilife Village."

"When we of the Galaxy Team first arrived in this land, we came ashore on Prelude Beach. It is where everything began. This is where a new life for all of you will begin as well."

"Indeed, you have both heard correctly! And the reason such tales have reached your ears is largely thanks to <player> here, one of our Survey Corps recruits. Through the combined efforts of all our team members, let us continue to develop our village and thrive here in the Hisui region."

"The advancement of our understanding of Pokémon—thanks to the Survey Corps—has expanded the areas where we can operate safely. That is what allows us to welcome in newcomers like them."

"<player>... You truly do love Pokémon, don't you?"

I do: "Hrrrm... Pokémon have done grave injury to many of our fellows in the Galaxy Team... And yet you still find love for these creatures in your heart. I suppose that is a necessary quality for one in the Survey Corps."

Not really...: "Hrrrm... You have no love for them, and still you go out to learn more about them. You are a strange one, to be sure. But if you do what is asked of you, then I care not."

"Remember this, though: Pokémon are terrifying creatures."

"It is imperative that we study them and learn all that we can about them, whether we wish to live alongside them...or not."

"And be warned... As the leader of the Galaxy Team, I am prepared to make harsh decisions in order to protect Jubilife Village."

"Good. I believe I know what she's here about."

"As for you, <player>... You should see for yourself how Jubilife Village is changing thanks to the Survey Corps' efforts. Then you will come to my office."

Mission 9 - "A New Mission"

Galaxy Hall (His office)

"I commend you on your successful research of the Pokémon living in the Crimson Mirelands."

"Your next orders are to begin the survey of the Cobalt Coastlands."

"I will let you know in advance—there are no Pokémon nobles in the Cobalt Coastlands."

"Now, we've had reports of people seeing strange, shadowy figures on the island the lord used to call his home."

"We have also received word from both the Security Corps and Supply Corps. It seems some of their members were attacked by a ghost while out gathering materials around Firespit Island."

"I trust my intentions are clear by now. I hereby order you to investigate these reports."

Mission 10 - "The Lordless Island"

Galaxy Hall (His office)

"Think nothing of it. <player> is a talented and hard-working member of the Galaxy Team. I’m sure he/she will sort things out."

• After the player quells Arcanine's frenzy

"You did well on your mission in the Cobalt Coastlands."

"Your efforts there aided not only the Galaxy Team but the Pearl Clan as well."

"...I do hope your efforts will also have an impact on the space-time rift, somehow. If we are able to get rid of that rift, it should clear any lingering doubts about your origins. Though how we might actually close the rift, I haven't the slightest idea."

"Remain true to the mission."

Galaxy Hall (His office)

• After completing Mission 10

"<player>! I have your next orders. You must go to the Coronet Highlands to quell another frenzied noble—Electrode, Lord of the Hollow."

"Hrrrm! We'll be enlisting the Pearl Clan's aid in securing you safe passage to Electrode's seat. I've sent word ahead to Irida asking—"

"Pay it no mind. It seems even Security Corps personnel I trained myself cannot stop one so capable as Warden Melli."

"That being said..."

"It is clear that the Security Corps needs even further rounds of training from me later."

"Now, now. That will do. <player>, you have your orders. See to it that Electrode is quelled! Warden Melli, of course we would appreciate your help if there's anything you might assist with."

"Now, go!"

Mission 11 - "Scaling Perilous Heights"

Galaxy Hall (His office)

• If talked to again

"There are certainly some interesting characters in Hisui. Including you, I might add. Now then, you had best focus on your survey work!"

• After the player quells Electrode's frenzy

"Hrrrm... So Warden Melli believes that the frenzies of these Pokémon are some sort of trial set by almighty Sinnoh..."

"We cannot know if that is the case or not, but it does beg the question: Whyever would this "almighty Sinnoh" drive the nobles to frenzy?"

"Is it angered by something? Or does it seek to drive a wedge between people and Pokémon? Well, far be it from us humans to fathom the thoughts of Pokémon..."

"And what is that space-time rift, anyway? What caused it to open...?"

"Hrrrm. But you must be tired. Go on, then—to the Wallflower. Get some rest while you can."

"I've instructed Beni to prepare you his finest potato mochi."

Galaxy Hall (His office)

• After completing Mission 11

"You've now quelled the frenzy of four nobles."

"The only lord left to be quelled is Avalugg, which lives in the Alabaster Icelands."

"He is also the largest of the nobles, according to what Irida told me."

"Your mission is the quell Avalugg, the final lord! And perhaps in doing so, we may trigger some change in the space-time rift as well!"

"No matter how many of these frenzied Pokémon you may quell, the fact remains that you are a stranger to our world. No small number of people still regard you with suspicion and distrust. The most you can hope for is to gain the trust of as many as possible, and to do that, you must prove yourself through your actions."

Mission 12 - "The Slumbering Lord of the Tundra"

Galaxy Hall (His office)

• After the player quells Avalugg's frenzy

"Each of the Pokémon nobles became frenzied... and now each of them has been quelled."

"We still have no explanation for why this calamity befell us, but I'm glad to see it put to an end."

"And to think peace would be restored to Hisui by the hand of our mysterious rift-borne helper..."

"When tomorrow dawns, it will dawn on a world restored to normalcy. At long last, we will be able to return to our normal lives."

"Go nourish yourself at the Wallflower, and allow yourself a good, long rest. Don't forget—the Survey Corps' work is not over. It does not end until our people can live here in Hisui without fearing the Pokémon around us."

Mission 13 - "Disaster Looming"

Galaxy Hall (His office)

"Hrmmm... The way the sky has changed... It is ominous. Very ominous indeed."

"That can wait. There is a more pressing concern here that must be addressed."

"The first strike of that strange lightning, the one that drove Kleavor into a frenzy... It struck the night that <player> fell from the sky, did it not? It only seems natural to think that the two events might be linked in some way."

"Who or what are you really, <player>?!"

I don't really know...: "Indeed..."

A Survey Corps member?: "Indeed, you've done all I ordered. But that does not answer the question of who you really are."

"You came from the rift—as did the lightning. You're connected to these frenzies, are you not?!"

"Did you think to gain our trust by quelling the frenzies you yourself brought about?"

"And having gained our trust, what then? What is it you're really after here?"

"Let me ask you in turn—can you prove beyond a doubt that he/she is free from guilt?"

"This person—this stranger appeared out of a rift in space-time! Who here can guarantee he/she is who he/she says? Who here can guarantee he/she is to be trusted?"

"He/She will be given the chance to investigate this latest disaster... But not as a member of the Galaxy Team. He/She remains a suspect unless he/she can clear his/her name."

"There are those in our village who cannot trust a stranger like you who fell from the sky. And so I must ask you to leave. You are no longer welcome in the Galaxy Team."

"Consider yourself banished from this village until you can explain why these calamities keep befalling our good people... No—until you've restored our world to its rightful state and proven your innocence beyond doubt!"

"Is that clear, Cyllene?"

"Do not attempt to intervene on his/her behalf! I will do what I must as the commander of the Galaxy Expedition Team."

"But I have not forgotten your deeds, nor the... unusual skill you have displayed. That is why I have chosen to let you walk out of here free rather than clap you in chains."

Mission 17 - "Atop Mount Coronet"

Coronet Highlands (Temple of Sinnoh)

• Before battle

"You again..."

"I heard that this Red Chain of yours will "bind the world." I assume that to bind the world means to hold the world together, keeping it as it's meant to be. A welcome idea...but can I truly put my faith in such tales?"

"...Perhaps you are right. But if I were to simply place my faith in this boy/girl, and that faith were to be betrayed, then how could I possibly face my people?"

"Fine! Enough!"

"Let fate decide what happens next! Whichever of us is stronger will prevail!"

"Face me with your Pokémon, <player>! Today we battle in earnest!"

• Upon being defeated

"Any Pokémon that threatens our life here...must be eliminated!"

• After being defeated

"You truly are a force to be reckoned with..."

"<player>... The fates have decided. I concede... And I apologize sincerely for doubting you!"

"I know I have no right to ask it of you any longer, but please use that strength of yours for the sake of the Galaxy Expedition Team— No! For the sake of the Celestica people and all the Pokémon living in Hisui."

• If talked to before reaching the end of the temple

"The moment has come..."

"Take these."

• After the player catches Dialga/Palkia

"You're telling me there's ANOTHER one?! But the Red Chain's smashed to bits! No way even <player> could tackle another Pokémon as strong as that last one now!"

• After Palkia/Dialga appears

"All of you, we must vacate this— GAH! Forget the fancy talk! Book it! C'mon! We gotta make it back to the Summit Camp while we still can! We need to leave...before this other almighty Sinnoh decides it wants to fight us!"

"Ya dunce! Ya won't be any use to anybody if ya die up here on this mountain!"

"Whatta ya waitin' for?! I'm tellin' ya, we gotta get gone!"

Coronet Highlands (Summit Camp)

"I must apologize, from the bottom of my heart..."

"To the both of you, as fellow leaders..."

"You saw the truth that I could not. You never abandoned your trust in <player>."

"And to you, <player>..."

"I acted on ill-considered presumptions and drove you from the Galaxy Expedition Team, forcing you to face great hardship alone... And despite all that, you still strove to save all of Hisui!"

"A dependable attitude indeed. Yes, let us move on. No need to speak any further about my rash actions. Not to mention my loss of composure..."

"It seems that having <player> about has been a good influence on all."

"Is that so? Then Warden Lian will be a fine resource to consult. And what are your thoughts, Professor Laventon? Do you have any idea what this stone could be?"

Mission 18 - "The Counterpart"

Coronet Highlands (Summit Camp)

"Irida. May we ask for your clan's aid once more?"

Coronet Highlands (Temple of Sinnoh)

• Before confronting Palkia/Dialga

"For so long, I'd thought that I had to eliminate any outside element that might threaten the people of Jubilife Village. Whether that meant banishing you or seeking to destroy the Pokémon of the temple, I felt it was my only path. But you've shown me that I was wrong to think in such a way."

"Are you ready for this challenge, recruit?"

I'm ready to fight: "We will support you in whatever way we can, though I doubt you'll need it. <player>... Protect Hisui and her people! Protect time and space for her Pokémon!"

I need to get ready...: "You have Dialga/Palkia with you! That such a powerful Pokémon has chosen to ally itself with you must mean something."

• After the player catches Palkia/Dialga

"Mmph... Y-yes. *sniff*"

"Hrrrmph!"

"Hrrrm... Well, at least it seems this is no dream!"

"Hrrrm! Listen up, all of you!"

"We faced a calamity unlike any we have known—but we were able to overcome it by working as one! This calls for a celebration—a festival for us all!"

"Gather your clans! This will be the greatest celebration Hisui has ever seen!"

"Let us celebrate! For today dawns a new day for all those who live in the Hisui region!"

Mission 25 - "The Plate of Prelude Beach"

Jubilife Village (Front gate)

"I've had a message from Mistress Cogita. I'm told you're collecting plates of some sort with the merchant Volo?"

"Then we must go to Prelude Beach. Meet me there."

Jubilife Village (Prelude Beach)

• Before battle

"Prelude Beach... Indeed a place of beginning."

"Now is not the time for words."

"Face me in battle!"

• Upon being defeated

"Even frightful creatures like Pokémon can become powerful allies..."

• After being defeated

"You've grown even stronger since we faced one another on Mount Coronet. It's clear you do not view Pokémon as dangerous enemies but rather as trustworthy allies—allies with whom you can reach great heights."

"Perhaps you are a divine being yourself, sent to bring us gifts from above... Here! You should have this."

"When the very first of our Galaxy Expedition Team—myself, Beni, and the others—set foot on Prelude Beach, we found that plate. It clearly held some kind of power, and so I've kept it safe all this time. I find it fitting that it should now end up with you, who likewise arrived here on this same beach!"

"Perhaps something is guiding us... Indeed, it must be so. You and I, Adaman, Irida... It'd appear we're all being guided by the one called almighty Sinnoh. Hrrrm. It might be more appropriate to call this region the Sinnoh region."

"I know I've no right to say this... But we are truly fortunate to have been able to count you among the Survey Corps' ranks. If you had not joined us, we would have fallen on Mount Coronet. We would have lost our home. We would have lost our future."

"Now then. Carry on with your survey work! The knowledge that you collect about the wild Pokémon of this region will serve to illuminate our path forward as we walk into the future!"

Galaxy Hall (His office)

• If talked to after completing the main story

"Hrrrm... I suppose there is no end to the study of Pokémon, even if the Pokédex is complete."

Galaxy Hall (Third floor)

• After completing Mission 25

"Hrrrm. So you came."

"<player>, are you aware of why we named ourselves the Galaxy Expedition Team?"

I'm afraid not: "As I expected. Allow me to explain."

Yes, I am: "Oh, are you? Well. I see someone had the nerve to deny me the pleasure of telling you myself. No matter. Allow me to explain in my own words."

"I am quite fond of likening things to stars. Such is how I described the intellect and abilities of Cyllene and the others to our patrons. When explaining our plan to move to Hisui, I told them our members were as bright as shining stars."

"Hrrrm... That is...not quite right, Cyllene. I also thought it was a fine name. Alas, the name will not live on forever. Once life here in the region settles down, the role of the Galaxy Team will end..."

"And once we are no longer needed, it is only natural that our team will be disbanded."

Regardless of choice: "The important thing is that people learn to live in harmony with Pokémon in this vast land. Our name hardly matters. Is that not so?"

"I see... I suppose that does sound like something you would do, Cyllene."

"<player>, forgive me for taking so much of your time. Please accept this as a sort of apology."

"Despite having fallen from the sky into this land, you have not once hesitated to help us. For that, I thought you deserved to know the story behind our name."

"I have high hopes for your continued efforts to help the people and Pokémon of Hisui."

Jubilife Village (Photography studio)

• In his normal clothing

"We should take a photo as proof of your visit here from afar. Naturally, as a living witness, I should be in the photo too."

• In his suit of armor

"This armor was a gift, and I wish to show the one who gave it to me how I look wearing it. Hrrrm... It would be fitting for you to join me, as I wore this when we battled. What do you say?"

Jubilife Village (Training grounds)

• After completing Request 102: "Daybreak"

"I called you here for one very specific reason. I wish to have you try your hand at a new form of Pokémon battle!"

"I used to think that Pokémon were terrifying creatures. You've helped me see otherwise."

"Thanks to you, there are some in this village who now enjoy battling with Pokémon. More and more of us now see Pokémon as allies."

"It is for that very reason that I would like you to continue to further your trailblazing."

"I believe that taking part in a new form of battle will help deepen our understanding of Pokémon."

"In the midst of a tough battle, what does your partner desire? And what is your opponent thinking?"

"I believe that you have the ability to sense these things, and we will do our best to learn as well!"

"This is quite a difficult request we have for you, but I'm sure you are up to the challenge!"

"You may ask Ingo here for a more detailed explanation."

"I leave the rest to you, Ingo."

• Regular Pokémon battle

• Before battle

"Hrrrm! I've donned this traditional Galarian armor, and I trust you know what that means! I ain't holdin' nothin' back for this battle!"

• Upon being defeated

"I would expect nothing less from a member of the Survey Corps! You understand Pokémon well."

• After being defeated

"The way you battle—it's as if it is the culmination of all your Survey Corps work. Continue to improve your skills."

• Path of Tenacity (Galaxy Team)

• Upon starting the Path of Tenacity

"Do you think you can defeat all three of us? Come then, and prove the might of you and your Pokémon!"

• Before battle

"Your strength offers many lessons—defeating you will prove I've learned them! Hrrrm! Commander Kamado of the Galaxy Expedition Team, to battle!"

• Upon being defeated

"I'm reminded once more just how terrifying Pokémon can be... But that is nothing compared to how dependable they are!"

• After being defeated

"You've pushed all the way through the Path of Tenacity! I expected no less. I'm grateful to you for showing me what a heartening presence Pokémon can be. We must spar again sometime!"

• If the player loses

"You may have lost the battle, but you will never lose the strength you share with your Pokémon. I am truly grateful to you for even attempting this challenge!"
