"Professor, you've been gone for four years now. How are you enjoying being back in Sinnoh?"
"Sorry, folks."
  • After battle with the wild Starly
"Whew! You found the briefcase? The professor would've gone through the roof if he knew I forgot it here. Hunh? Whaaaat?! Did you guys... Did you use these Pokémon?! Oh man... How am I gonna explain this to the professor? ...This briefcase is the professor's, so I'll take it, OK?"
  • Before going to Lake Valor (After earning the Mine Badge)
"Hiya, <player>! How's Lake Valor? There's nothing wrong here. The lake is ordinary, as usual. There's no legendary Pokémon, either..."
  • Before battle with Commander Mars (If talked to)
"It's Team Galactic! They took the Pokémon of the lake..."
  • After battle with Commander Mars (If talked to)
"<player>, what's Team Galactic up to? They'd better not harm the Pokémon they took from the lakes..."

"Uh... Yeah, of course! Professor, wait for me! You should visit us at our lab later, I think. We'll be seeing you!"
Sandgem Town
"Hi! I've been waiting for you! Please, come with me. The prof's waiting to see you. See? This is our Pokémon Research Lab. We'll just go ahead and..."
"What was that?! Your friend always seems to be in such a rush. Anyway... Let's go in."
  • In Professor Rowan's lab
"Boy, am I glad you're kind toward Pokémon. If you weren't, well... I don't even want to think about it."
"I've got the same kind of Pokédex as you."
"The professor asked me to help, so I'm going to go out and fill the Pokédex pages, too. That makes us comrades working toward the same goal. I'll teach you stuff later, OK?"
  • Town tutorial
"Hey, <player>! I want to show you a few things. So, follow me! This building with the red roof is the Pokémon Center. You can get your Pokémon healed if it's been hurt in battle. You'll find a Pokémon Center in most towns. Over here, the building with the blue roof is the Poké Mart. It's a shop where you can buy and sell all sorts of items. <player>, since you're a rookie Trainer, you won't be able to buy very much stuff. Don't worry about it, OK?"
  • After town tutorial
"Oh, yeah, right! <player>, you should let your family know you're helping Prof. Rowan put together his Pokédex. Sometimes, you have to go far away, so you should let someone know. Oh, but first, go heal up your Pokémon at the Poké Center. You'll be safe then. OK, be seeing you!"
  • Post game
"<player>! The professor told me the news! Congratulations, Champ!"
  • If Dialga/Palkia was fainted

  • After receiving the National Pokédex
"Hey, <player>, have you ever seen my kid sister?"
  • After talking to Lucas's sister
"Hey, <player>, have you met Bebe? She lives out in Hearthome City. If you're a Trainer, you owe it to yourself to visit her."
  • After talking to Bebe
"Hey! <player>, you've got yourself a Poké Radar, too? Watch for tall grass to rustle wildly when you use that Poké Radar. That's a sign that rare Pokémon may be hiding there."
  • After used the Poké Radar
"Hi, <player>! How's your Poké Radar working out? When you use it, do you sometimes see more than one patch of tall grass rustling? The patch farther away gives you a better chance of seeing the same kind of Pokémon right in a row. I think that's how it goes."
"Sometimes a patch of grass sparkles when a Poké Radar is used. They say a different-colored Pokémon is hiding there! I wonder if that's true?"
"So, <player>. I'm also helping the professor out with the National Pokédex. Catching Pokémon can be really challenging, can't it? But I also have a ton of fun doing it!"
  • After completing the National Pokédex
"<player>! Wow! I don't know what to say! I mean, it's so awesome and all... Sincerely, congratulations for completing the National Pokédex!"

"<player>?! Did you tell your family that you're helping the professor? ...I bet you didn't, did you? I know that you're eager to see all kinds of Pokémon. But you shouldn't make your mom worry that you've upped and left."
"Why don't you go tell your family that the professor asked for your help? You should do it right away."
  • After talking with Mom
"<player>, do you know how to catch a Pokémon? I'll demonstrate how to catch one, so just watch, OK?"
  • Catching tutorial
"All right! I got its HP down! Time to throw a Poké Ball!"
  • After tutorial
"And that's how it's done. Actually, I should have lowered the target's HP some more. Yup, the important thing is to lower the Pokémon's HP as much as possible. See, a healthy Pokémon isn't easy to catch. Oh yeah, they also get easier to catch if you make one of your Pokémon put them to sleep or such. Here, <player>, I'll give you five Poké Balls to get you started."
Jubilife City
  • First visit
"Hey, <player>! How many Pokémon have you caught? Huh? I think you should catch some more. It might be more of a challenge raising a lot of Pokémon... But it's worth it.

"<player>! Join me and battle these guys!"
  • After battle
"<player>, did you know about this? The professor studies about the evolution of Pokémon, too. According to his research, 90% of all Pokémon are somehow tied to evolution! I guess that means some Pokémon must undergo weird evolutions. So, <player>... Let's keep working on our Pokédex project for the prof!"
Route 207
"Hey, <player>! How's your Pokédex coming along? Me? I'm always doing great! ...I wish... But that's not important. Lately, I've been experimenting with a couple of neat tools. <player>, I'll share with you. Choose a hand!"
  • Regardless of which hand is chosen
"Oh yeah. You want the Vs. Seeker. Yup, <player>, you know what's important. Using that Vs. Seeker, you can find Trainers who want to battle with you again. <player>, what about a Pokétch? Do you have one? Yup, you do. You can have this too, then. You deserve it for all of your effort, <player>. The Dowsing Machine is... Just try touching it. It'll alert you if there is an unseeable item on the ground. It's especially handy for finding things in dark caves. OK, keep working on your Pokédex. Professor Rowan is counting on us!"
Veilstone City
  • Before earning the Cobble Badge
"Hey! <player>, are you going to take on the Gym Leader? Wow, you just keep getting tougher and tougher. Me? Well, I took a look in the Game Corner and... I mean, yeah, of course I've been working on my Pokédex, but... Anyway, keep it up! I'll see you around!"
  • After earning the Cobble Badge
"Hey! <player>! Listen, I need your help... I dropped my Pokédex by accident, and Team Galactic found it. Now they won't give it back. Please, I need you to help me. I'll be waiting in front of the warehouses. Please come!"
"Hey! <player>! Listen, I need your help... I dropped my Pokédex by accident, and Team Galactic found it. Now they won't give it back. Please, I need you to help me. Will you team up with me to take them on?"
Yes: "You and your Pokémon together with me and my Pokémon... Our dream team's not going to lose. Not with the way we work together! I'm not letting those criminals get away with this!"
No: "I'll be waiting! Get ready and come quick!"
  • After battle with Team Galactic Grunts
"What's going on here? Why is Team Galactic out in the streets like they own the place? <Player>, thanks, honestly. If Professor Rowan ever hears that I lost my Pokédex... Oh, man, that's something I do not want to think about! So, <player>, what are your plans now? I'm going off to Pastoria City. The Great Marsh there has all kinds of Pokémon."
Canalave City
"You bet, Professor! This will add to the Pokédex database and help advance your research."
"Yes, sir!"
  • Outside Canalave Library, after explosion in Lake Valor

  • After beating Cyrus
"<player>... I just ran into <rival>. He said that he believed in you, <player>. He said that you could get the job done. I think so too. You've got to help that Pokémon! It's suffering from being dragged out by Team Galactic!"
"Since the last time, the professor did a lot of research... He became very worried about you, <player>, so he came out to a place as terrible as this... <player>, I'm glad to see you're safe. Let's leave this place already!"

See you around!"
  • Poké Radar Tutorial
"<Player>. Let me explain how the Poké Radar works. Let's give it a go. When you use the Poké Radar... There! Did you see the tall grass rustling? There's a Pokémon in that patch of tall grass. Go in there, and the Pokémon will come leaping out. Now, here's the strange part. If you see another patch of rustling grass far away, it means the same kind of Pokémon is hiding there. So, if your aim is to keep seeing the same kind of Pokémon, you should consider using Repels."

  • After battle with Team Galactic Grunts
"What's going on here? Why is Team Galactic out in the streets like they own the place? <player>, thanks, honestly. I'm useless without my Pokédex.

They say they show off rare Pokémon to visitors."
"Hey.. It's that weirdo from Jubilife."

  • Random quotes
"<Player>, are you collecting furniture, too, now? Are you one of those people who can't stand to use Technical Machines? One of those types that end up with a TM collection out of hoarding?"
"You could get a Villa as a gift? I did not know that. I wish someone'd give me a Villa. That way, I'd be able to assist the professor even more!"
"The Battle Zone's intense and fun, huh? So many different kinds of Pokémon, and Trainers of every variety... I'd like to go to even more places."
"Having this Villa must be convenient. It must be useful for checking up on the Pokémon in the Battle Zone."

It'll alert you if there is an unseeable item on the ground. It's especially handy for finding things in dark caves. OK, keep working on your Pokédex. Professor Rowan is counting on us!"
Veilstone City
  • Before earning the Cobble Badge
"Hey! <Player>, are you going to take on the Gym Leader? Wow, you just keep getting tougher and tougher. Me? Well, I took a look in the department store, and—I mean, yeah, of course I've been working on my Pokédex, but, well, uh... Anyways, keep it up! I'll see you around!"
  • After earning the Cobble Badge
"Hey! <Player>! Listen, I need your help—I dropped my Pokédex by accident, and Team Galactic took it. Now they won't give it back. Please, I need you to help me. I'll be waiting in front of the warehouses. Please come!"
"Hey! <player>! Listen, I need your help... I dropped my Pokédex by accident, and Team Galactic found it. Now they won't give it back. Please, I need you to help me. Will you team up with me to take them on?"
Yes: "You and your Pokémon together with me and my Pokémon... Our dream team's not going to lose. Not with the way we work together! I'm not letting those criminals get away with this!"
No: "I'll be waiting! Get ready and come quick!"
  • After battle with Team Galactic Grunts
"What's going on here? Why is Team Galactic out in the streets like they own the place? <Player>, thanks, honestly. If Professor Rowan ever hears that I lost my Pokédex... Oh, man, that's something I do not want to think about! So, <player>, what are your plans now? I'm going off to Pastoria City. The Great Marsh there has all kinds of Pokémon."
Canalave City
"You bet, Professor! This will add to the Pokédex database and help advance your research."
"Yes, sir!"
  • Outside Canalave Library, after explosion in Lake Valor
"What happened at Lake Valor? I wonder..."

Spear Pillar
  • After beating Cyrus
"<Player>... I just ran into <rival>. He said that he believed in you. He said that you could get the job done. I think so too. You've got to help that Pokémon! It's suffering from being dragged out by Team Galactic!"
"Since the last time, the professor did a lot of research... He became very worried about you, <player>, so he came out to a place as terrible as this... <Player>, I'm glad to see you're safe. Let's leave this place already!"
  • If talked to
"You know, that Pokémon really was extraordinary, wasn't it? Was it really the Pokémon that created the Sinnoh region...?"

Main Story Villain Arc - Sinnoh - Dreaming in Darkness
  • Team Galactic on the Move
"They said they wanted to create a new world... But they tried to steal Pokémon and Professor Rowan's research!"
"They caused all sorts of trouble for us!"
"Good idea! I'd feel better with her helping us out."
"Oh, there he goes again..."
"Are you checking out the ruins again today?"
"But...the ruins on Pasio are just replicas of ruins from other regions, aren't they?"
"Weird..."
"I wonder if it was trying to tell us something..."
"Well, we're still not sure about that."
  • The Darkest Nightmare
"Professor Rowan told me about a Mythical Pokémon called Darkrai that lives in the Sinnoh region."
"Apparently, it can make people and Pokémon experience horrific nightmares."
"Huh? But..."
"Be careful out there, Cynthia!"
"It's no good. We're not getting through to them."
  • The Galactic Hideout
"Phew! That was a huge help."
"Ah! You're that weird guy from Jubilife City!"
"Sorry... I'm on edge from these battles with Team Galactic."
  • Cyrus's True Ambitions
"It looks like this is as far as we can go..."
"Stop it!"
"What is this ideal world of yours, anyway?"
"After all that hurt you caused the people and Pokémon of Sinnoh, that's your plan?"
"You're just gonna use everyone, then throw them away when they're not useful to you anymore? Is that the ideal world you want?"
  • Together in Spirit
"No... I won't let you!"
"No way! I'm not like you!"
"I'll keep battling to the very end if it's to help a Pokémon!"
"... ... ...?! What's this?"
"You...you want to lend us your power, don't you."
"Got it! Then let's do this, Dialga!"
"You're saying that again?!"
"Wait. Does that mean this was all caused by that Mythical Pokémon?"
  • The Nightmare Spreads
"It looks great on you, Dawn! And it matches Cresselia, too!"
"When I battled Cyrus...he seemed sad, somehow."
"It's awful that he abandoned Dialga... But if there's any way we can make him understand, I'm on board!"
"Is Darkrai getting so strong that it's overpowering Cresselia?"
"Cyrus and Team Galactic must've done something to it!"
  • Galactic Alliance
"If Darkrai's nightmare is Cyrus's ideal world..."
"Then it's possible he's also asleep, right?"
"We don't have enough info on his whereabouts... What should we do?"
"What?! Really, Dawn?"
"You sure we should team up with Team Galactic?"
"You can't go to sleep, Professor! You'll fall right into Darkrai's nightmare!"
  • Intertwined Pasts
"It's pretty weird, working together with someone from Team Galactic."
"You must really care about Cyrus, huh?"
"Like before? You mean that time we battled at Lake Verity? I'll definitely win this time!"
"Wh-what? Dawn and I aren't a couple!"
"I mean...I know I rely on her a lot... Too much, really..."
"But that's why I want to win even when she's not here!"
"Because then I can be proud that I won on my own!"
"I-I just said, we're not a couple!"
  • The Time of Awakening
"Huh... Enjoying?"
"Hey! This grunt doesn't seem to be having any nightmares!"
"Oh no! We got too close to Darkrai!"

  • A Mission to Complete
"Yeah! Dialga's my precious partner Pokémon!"
"Because I can rely on my friend, Dialga!"

  • A Rift in the Sky
"Dawn?!"
"When you say terrible, do you mean...?"
"Dialga's been acting weird since last night, when the phenomenon was first reported. I wonder what's going on..."
"Huh?! What about Dialga?"
  • Two from Hisui
"Er... Are those the people you were talking about?"
"Er... Who are you two?"
"My name's Lucas. Nice to meet you."
"Huh?"
  • Off-screen
"No way. It can't be."
  • On-screen
"Well... Y'see, Dawn, the Hisui region..."
"is what the Sinnoh region used to be called a long time ago!"
"Yeah. It was in books in the Canalave Library and in Professor Rowan's research materials."
"A long time ago, Sinnoh used to be called Hisui."
"Which means, if what these people say is true..."
"Um, what exactly do you mean by "trial"?"
"So...before you got here, did the two of you meet up with Dialga?"
"Oh, so if you came from a rift, that must mean..."
  • Pokémon Are Dangerous?
"Professor, have you learned anything new?"
"Oh, you know something about it?"
"Dangerous? I know there haven't been any wild Pokémon on Pasio before..."
"If I remember correctly...back in the time of Hisui, Poké Balls weren't very common, right?"
"What was that about?"
"What?!"
"Yeah! We gotta hurry!"
"If so, we'll have Dialga help us!"
"There is a Trainer with a Palkia, but..."
"Yeah..."
"Yeah. It might not work, but we should at least try!"
"Let's go find Cyrus—of Team Galactic!"
  • Cyrus of Team Galactic
"Um...I don't think we're talking about the same people..."
"We just want to ask Cyrus and Palkia for their help in fixing the disturbances happening on Pasio!"
"Dialga?"
"Dialga and Palkia are speaking to you?"
"If we assume your hypothesis is correct..."
"Let's split up and get started!"
  • People and Pokémon
"Dialga... Can you help us, please?"
"W-we did it! The space-time distortion is gone!"
"Yeah!"
"You're a lifesaver, Dialga! It's all thanks to you lending us your power!"
"And you're saying more space-time distortions have been forming, too?!"
"So we didn't fix the root of the problem..."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure, of course!"
Story Event - Together in an Unknown Land
  • On an Island with Pokémon
  • Off-screen, as "???"
"There was a space-time distortion around here, right?"
"Whoa?!"
  • After appearing, as Lucas
"Huh?!"
"So that means..."
"Adaman and Irida told us about you two."
"They said they have friends in Hisui who look just like us."
"Ah, sorry to confuse you. Maybe we should start with introductions, huh?"
"I'm Lucas, and this is Dawn."
"We're from Sinnoh...the Hisui region in the future."
"Yeah, that must be it. Adaman and Irida came here through a space-time rift too."
"Actually, Adaman and Irida were saying there was someone who came through a space-time rift..."
"It would have been nice if they hadn't changed..."
  • The Myth Researcher
"If you ever have any issues, we'll help you out!"
  • As Rivals...
"That's the kind of Poké Ball that's used in the Hisui region, right?"
"If I remember correctly, Rei said that sync stones don't work well with Hisuian Poké Balls."
"I guess because a Poké Ball is meant to be like a home for your Pokémon..."
"Maybe they're comfortable in the Poké Balls you made, and don't want to leave them."
"Don't worry, I'm sure that's not it."
"Every Pokémon's different, even if they're from the same place. So it makes sense that they'd adapt differently too."
"Adaman and Irida also had trouble adjusting to life on Pasio at first."
"Time will solve everything, so no need to rush!"
"A worthy opponent for...Rei?"
"Oh...I see."
"I understand your feelings. You don't want to fall behind someone you helped mentor, right?"
"I was a mentor to Dawn, and I taught her a lot..."
"But she got better at Pokémon battling than me in no time."
"Yup! So before we start feeling sorry for ourselves, let's try our best!"
"Let's get stronger together and show Rei and Dawn what we can do!"
"Yup! That's the spirit!"
"Though I don't think it's a good idea to let Pikachu and the others push themselves too hard..."
"How about this? While your Pokémon get used to this new environment..."
"Why don't you try getting to know a new Pokémon?"
"Though there aren't any wild Pokémon on Pasio..."
"Wait, how?!"
  • The Next Daybreak
"Akari's Samurott managed to get used to the Poké Ball and Pasio's environment very easily."
"Since then, they've been growing fast as a sync pair!"
"Dawn!"
"I feel the same way Akari does!"
"I won't lose to you...as your mentor!"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Lucas
"OK, Dawn! Go ahead and give it your all!"
"Well, it was a lot of power, but..."
What's going on?/It was super bright!: "Oh, <player>!"
"Actually, we're in the middle of some research on sync stones right now."
"Since the power of sync stones on Pasio seems to affect a lot of different things, it's a fascinating topic to delve into!"
"I was trying out a bunch of stuff so I can have more to add in my report about the PML for Professor Rowan, but..."
"Yeah, it really was! But that's why I think you can do even better!"
"In order to do that, we need to learn more about these sync stones!"
"I've heard that the power of sync stones correlates with how strong your bond is. But it's hard to suddenly strengthen a bond without a trigger, so..."
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
"Since everyone's helping me out, there's no need to keep thinking about it all by myself!"
"OK! Thanks!"
"That positive attitude of yours is always such a big help, Dawn!"
"This is precious info that Dawn and the rest of my friends are helping me research!"
"There's no way I'm handing it over to you!"
"You want a battle?"
What was that light just now?: "Yeah, I was curious about that, too! It was brighter than anything we've seen yet!"
She was shining!: "Yeah! That was even brighter than anything we've seen so far!"
"The power of a sync move comes from the strength of your bond."
"I bet you were both feeling strongly about that situation just now, right? That you didn't want to lose?"
"I get it now! That means the bright light we just saw was the result of your bond getting stronger!"
"Yeah. I'm glad you're our friend, <player>!"
"I get the feeling fun things'll keep happening when you're around!"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Sygna Suit Dawn
"I wonder where that kid is... Maybe they're farther in?"
"But...if we just barge in on them, they might do something to the kid!"
What do we do?: "I might have an idea. Leave it to me!"
We need a plan!: "Yeah! Actually, I might have an idea!"
  • Off-screen
"Think again! We just saved your hostage, so you can't hold that over us anymore!"
  • On-screen
"I bet she was tired. She was in a tense situation, after all."
"Huh? What's with the feather?"
"I see. After such a scary event, she might have nightmares, huh."
"I mean...it seemed like something you'd do, right? You told me before that you like heroes and stuff."
"That said, you were pretty into it!"

"Lots of sync pairs came to Pasio from a bunch of different regions!"
"Every day is so exciting because I get to see Pokémon that I can't find in Sinnoh!"
"I can learn a lot from meeting new Trainers, so I'm really glad I came here!"
"I'm gonna do my best both as a Trainer and as Professor Rowan's assistant!"
  • Random conversation

  • Random conversation
"I have a friend who's also trying to complete her Pokédex! Her name is Dawn."
"She's so reliable! We worked together to get out of a bunch of tight spots back when we were exploring Sinnoh."
"If you ever need help with something here on Pasio, we'd be happy to help! You can count on us!"
  • Random conversation
"Guess what? I've developed my own theory about Pokémon Evolution!"
"Specifically, I think it's a matter of how much the Pokémon likes a certain thing!"
"For example, spiky Pokémon evolved that way because they really like having spikes and want to show them off!"
"What do you think? I think it's a pretty decent hypothesis, if I do say so myself!"
  • Random conversation
"The same Pokémon will battle differently if it's raised by a different Trainer."
"That's why battling with Pokémon can teach you things that you can't find in your Pokédex!"
"You and your partner sure are different from other sync pairs! Let me research you sometime!"
  • Random conversation
"There's something I always think whenever I see you or Dawn."
"Namely, that it's so important to strengthen your bond with your partner Pokémon."
"I want to grow as a sync pair with my partner Pokémon and deepen our bond!"
  • If spoken to again
"It's tons of fun to hang out with you and Dawn because I always learn a lot from the both of you."
"You've been awesome friends to me, and I sure hope it stays that way!"
  • Random conversation
"When I see you and your partner Pokémon, I always think about what a great sync pair you are."
"Here on Pasio, a Trainer and a Pokémon form a special bond..."
"It's not just about being strong. You also have to trust each other!"
"I think you're a great example of that! I really look up to you as a sync pair!"
  • If spoken to again
"I'm gonna research sync pairs and report my findings to Professor Rowan!"
"I'd like you to teach me more about you and your partner! You're really the best sync pair I know!"
