In the core series games

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Naranja^S/Uva^V Academy

• In the nurse's office

"Are you tired? Why not lie down and have a quick rest?"

• First event, in the nurse's office

"Hey there! Come on in! Everyone's welcome in the nurse's office!"

"What brings you here today? I don't see anything super wrong with you or your Pokémon..."

"Wait, this is your first time here, isn't it?"

Yes: "Ohhh, so I guess you transferred in recently."

No: "Don't be silly. I know I haven't seen you before. You can't fool me that easily!"

"You must be <player>, right? Everybody's been talking about you! I've heard all kinds of rumors. Apparently you fell off a cliff right after enrolling in the academy? And even picked a fight with Team Star?"

"Oh yeah! You've started your Treasure Hunt thing, right? Come tell me about anything super interesting you find out there in your adventures! I'm kinda bored just sitting in here all day, y'know? I don't have any classes to teach, and students only come here to skip class..."

"Sooo yeah, drop by if you can. Deal? Deal!"

• Second event, in the nurse's office

"Hey there! Come on in! Everyone's welcome in the nurse's office!"

"Hmm. <player>! Have you toughened up a bit?!"

Yes: "Oh, so you know you're touch stuff, huh? Hahaha. But seriously—you look a bit different!"

No: "What? No, you definitely have...more confidence or something!"

"I bet it's because of all the crazy experiences you're having on your Treasure Hunt. You need to tell me all about what you've been up to!"

"Wooow. That's super cool! I sure am jealous of you kids. You get to try out new things every single day."

"Me, on the other hand..."

"I actually wanted to become a teacher. I'm just the school nurse, y'know? I can't teach classes or anything like that. I couldn't pass the certification exam to become an actual health teacher. I took it so many times, but no luck. So here I am...stuck forever in the nurse's office."

"Oh, uh...sorry. I guess this isn't a very fun thing to talk about. But you're just such a good listener! I find myself telling you all kinds of stuff. I hope you'll still come see me even if I talk your ear off like this."

• Third event, in the entrance hall

"Oh—hey, <player>. Sorry, were you looking for me? I've been away from the nurse's office lately."

"Did you need something from me?"

Yes: "Are your Pokémon hurt? Just a sec..."

No: "Whaaat? But then why'd you come over to talk? Oh well, I'll heal up your Pokémon anyway."

"Here ya go. A little first aid. You must really be having an adventure out there, judging from those scrapes and cuts!"

"Huh? Oh yeah, I guess it is pretty unusual for me to be out of the nurse's office like this."

"Hehe. Well...I'm actually doing a bit of studying."

"Thought I'd try my best at the health teacher certification exam one more time."

"Just so you know, it's totally NOT because I'm inspired by a certain somebody working hard at their Treasure Hunt, OK? Well...maybe I am just a little bit! So, y'know...uh...thanks. Yeah. Hehe."

"Uh-oh! My break time's almost over!"

"I know you'll be cheering me on, <player>!"

• Final event, in the nurse's office

"Hey there! Come on in! Everyone's welcome in the nurse's office!"

"Oh! <player>! I'm glad you're here!"

"I have some good news! You're not gonna believe this, but...I passed the health teacher certification exam!"

"Thank you so much!"

"I saw you pushing yourself real hard with your Treasure Hunt, and that really inspired me. Of course, MOST of the credit for my success goes to my own hard work, though! Hehe."

"Thanks for giving me the push I needed to try again, <player>."

"Buuut they tell me there's no room to add new classes this year! So I guess I'll keep being Nurse Miriam for a bit!"

"Just you wait, though! I'll be standing in front of a class at this academy before you know it. Then I'll teach you all you need to know about health! I bet I'll make a great teacher. I can't wait to see you in my class!"

• If talked to again

"Oh heyyy, <player>! Don't work too hard out there. Rest is important, too!"

• In the nurse's office, with Dendra

"No way. No way! NO WAY!"

"Well, DUH! I don't want to get a stomachache!"

"Uh, I still remember that 'sandwich' you made me with meat filling and meat for bread. That one really messed me up bad."

"'Young and thoughtless'? It was LAST MONTH!"

"She went through intensive sandwich-making training?"

"Ugh...I guess I have no choice if you've got one of our cute little students on your side. So, fine. I'll try your sandwich. Let's see it."

"*munch munch munch*"

"It's a little strongly flavored, but...I guess it's not bad?"

"Aaand she's run off again. That was weird..."

"But that's just how Ms. Dendra is, I guess. She's always coming into the nurse's office with some injury or another, too."

Academy Ace Tournament

• Before battle

"The 'angel of the nurse's office'? Seriously? Ugh. Well, whatever. Let's have a heavenly battle!"

• In battle

Upon sending out her last Pokémon: "What? You gotta be kidding me! Am I seriously down to my last Pokémon?!"

Upon Terastallizing her Toxapex: "Let's do this, Toxapex! It's your time to shine!"

Upon first using Toxapex's Venoshock: "Here comes a big one! Don't worry—I'll get you some medicine afterward!"

Upon being defeated: "Uuugh! Couldn't you have at least gone a LITTLE easy on me?!"

• After being defeated

"I'll heal you up if you get injured, so don't hold back in your next battle either, OK?"

League Club Room

• First visit

"Pardon me! We're making this place my nurse's office while I'm here, right?"

"Ah, I knew it! I figured you were the one who called me. I was suuuper surprised when I got told this stuff about a work trip all of a sudden!"

"Can you believe they're having me teach my first class ever HERE instead of back home?!"

Just do your best!: "Easy for you to say. You're not the one teaching the class..."

You'll do fine!: "You sound so sure! Wish I had even half of that kind of confidence..."

"Oh, what am I saying? You got me over here, so I'll do my best to make the most of this! It'll be the nurse's office...Blueberry Academy style!"

• Second visit

"Hey, <player>! You won't believe this... I had my first class ever...and I managed to screw up already!"

"Get this—the actual, like, class? Went perfectly. But then I finished my lesson and realized...I was in the wrong classroom the whole time!"

Oof, that's rough: "I think they were having study hall or something. Then I go marching on in and start teaching health lessons! They must've thought I was crazy!"

Eh, it happens!: "What do you mean “it happens”? I know you're trying to cheer me up, but I'm pretty sure that was a first—both for Blueberry Academy AND Naranja Academy^S/Uva Academy^V..."

"Ugh, no, let's change the topic! Just thinking about it makes me want to hide in a hole! I should just forget about the mess-up and keep on marching along!"

• Third visit

"Hey, <player>! Guess what? Remember how I went to the wrong classroom and lectured a bunch of random students?"

"Well, some of those kids came and found me 'cause they wanted to ask questions!"

"I thought that teaching the wrong class would forever be a stain on my teaching career... but it looks like those students got something out of it in the end! I'm like...really, super happy about it!"

That's great!/That's wild!: "I know, right?! Being a teacher really is fun after all... I mean, it's not a total cakewalk either, but still! I'm glad I kept at it! Thank you, <player>!"

"Oh, that's right! Do you have a minute? You're always helping me out, so I wanted to return the favor. Wanna trade with me? We can get to know each other better that way!"

Yes: "OK! I've got a Mareanie. What about you?"

After selecting a Pokémon: "So you wanna trade your <Pokémon> for my Mareanie, right?"

No: "Huh, for real? You should think twice about turning me down!"

Talking to her after refusing: "Have you come around to trading Pokémon and getting to know each other better?"

If the player only has one Pokémon in their party: "Hold on, we can't trade if you've only got one Pokémon in your party! Bring at least two and come find me again! Thaaanks!"

After the trade: "A/An <Pokémon>, huh? I thought you'd pick something like that! I'll take good care of it so it can grow big, strong, and healthy!"

• Rematch

"What's up, <player>? Do you want to battle me or something?"

Yes: "For sure—I'm not busy doing anything anyways! I'll go to the court with you."

No: "Oh, changed your mind? Well, that's fine, I guess."

• In battle

Upon sending her last Pokémon: "Ugh. I'm gonna lose! I can't believe this!"

Upon Terastallizing her Toxapex: "It's your time to shine, my lovely Toxapex!"

Upon having her Terastallized Toxapex use Venoshock: "Here's your treatment, but you're not gonna like it! Too much medicine is poisonous, after all!"

Upon being defeated: "Ugh, c'mon! You don't have to go all-out like that!"

• After player wins first battle

"You kids are always going all-out. I can't keep up... Especially you—you're way too strong! You gotta learn how to hold back a little bit once in a while!"

"Well, since you beat me, I'll teach you this cool pose!"

Player learns Aye-Aye Cap'n emote: "I think that pose is on its way out, but it's not quite in cringe territory yet. Use your best judgment on when to whip it out!"

• After subsequent battles

If defeated by the player: "OK, here's a little first aid... Plus an extra something from me, too."

Player obtains a reward: "Don't overdo it and go hurting yourself, OK?"

If defeated the player: "Wait, did you finally learn how to hold back a little? Maybe you're finally growing up!"

• Talking to after rematch

"Have you ever used one of those healing machines in the Terarium? I hear you can operate them yourself and heal up your party, right? Reminds me of my Pokémon Center days!"

"Is there...not a nurse's office in this school? Where does everyone go if they wanna play sick?"

"Man, all this prep for my classes is tough... The teachers here make it look so easy!"

"The <Pokémon> you gave me is doing so well! A little too well, if I'm being honest! Reminds me of a certain someone!"

"The Mareanie I traded you sure is great, huh? She's got a pretty rare Ability and stuff! Train her up good and give her some time on the battle court, OK?"

"Thanks for showing me around today, <player>!"

"It was fun sightseeing across the island!"

"Toxapex seems happy to be at the beach, too!"

"WHOA! Hold up there!"

"Ah... Sorry if I startled you."

"It's just...if Toxapex's toxic spikes pricked you, it'd be SUPER painful."

"Some people even suffer post-recovery aftereffects, so..."

"That's why I shouted."

"I should've warned you ahead of time. I'll be better about that in the future."

You startled me—but thanks!: "Ahahaha! That makes me feel a little better."

You're the best, Ms. Miriam!: "Thanks! As you can see, I still have a long way to go before I'm a true professional."

"Toxapex is my partner Pokémon, so I've studied all about her..."

"And for the health teacher certification exam, I had to cram even more."

"That said, everything I've learned will be useless if I don't use it when it counts!"

"If I want to keep my students safe, I should set a better example!"

"I should really watch other teachers to learn how to improve."

"Plus, lots of teachers in Paldea are also good at battling, so maybe I should work on that, too!"

"Am I greedy, wanting to be good at both?"

"Although...you're always challenging yourself too, <player>..."

"I guess it's OK to be ambitious as long as I don't inconvenience others!"

"OK! I'll keep improving—together with Toxapex..."

"and show all these Pasio sync pairs a heavenly battle!"

"But I still haven't had many chances to stand in front of a class."

"I'm glad Pasio Academy had some openings!"

• Random conversation

"If you get hurt while exploring, come see me. I'll tend to your injuries!"

"I'm used to it, thanks to my work at the academy back in Paldea."

"I'd help take care of students, a teacher who always went too hard, and another who was kind of clumsy..."

"Hm... I guess I took care of those two most of the time."

• Random conversation

"Everyone always calls me nicknames, like "Mimi" or "the angel of the nurse's office.""

"So I can't help but smile when they call me Ms. Miriam!"

• Random conversation

"At the academy in Paldea, lots of students would come to the nurse's office to cut class."

"It would've been better to go to class properly, but they had their reasons."

"It's important to have a safe space at school where you can be alone."

"If you like sweets, we should share shop tips, <player>!"

"Even after changing jobs, I still do roughly the same thing."
