Station Front

"OK, we’re good to go! Get ready for the spotlight again, you three!”
"Today’s mission is to add to our ranks! We’ll spread the word about how great Hotel Z is, and once there's a guest who looks like they've got what it takes, we'll recruit ‘em to the cause!”
"Now we need a tourist who really looks the part.”
"Bingo!"
"’Scuse me! Yeah, hi! You just arrived at the Gare de Lumiose, right? And judging by that big old travel bag… I've got a hunch you're a tourist!”
"Phew! If you'd turned out to be a local, I would've thought I was losing my grip on reality.”
"And you're about my height. We'll look nice standing side by side.”
"Listen, before you get to tourist-ing, would you mind helping me out with something? I just need to film you saying “Hotel Z’s a hidden gem of Lumiose!” Easy, right? No worries if you're staying somewhere else! I just need a hand advertising the hotel."
"Sound good? Good! OK, lights, camera…”
"Actually, let's wait a minute. The sound from that ad is gonna drown everything out.”
"I like how that CEO thinks. Even if her ad did keep us from filming.”
"This city and its Pokémon are a wonder. I know you’ll love them both!”
"And on that note, let’s get to filming!”
"Hang on—where’d your bag go?”
"So you hired a Pokémon to carry your stuff? Not a bad idea.”
"Wait, so it snagged your bag?!”
"Sorry I distracted you with the video stuff. I’ll make up for it, though! We’ll catch that Pokémon!”

Vert District

"Come on! We’ve gotta chase after that Pokémon!”
"It went into that alley there!”
"Geez, that’s one fast Pokémon!”
"Left! Go left before this dead end!”
"I guess this wasn’t just a wild Pokémon randomly messing with you. Seems like the Pancham that scooted off with your stuff belonged to somebody after all.”
"Hey—what’s your name?”
"<player>? Got it. My name’s Taunie. We’ll figure this out together—don’t you worry!”
"That nice bag happens to belong to my tourist friend here!”
"I…can’t say I know you. Did you see one of the ads I filmed, maybe?”
"Ohhh, now I remember. You two weren’t much of a challenge.”
"That makes no sense. If you want a rematch, all you have to do is wait till nightfall.”
"I’m glad you care about what Pancham wants, but I’m not about to let you battle me two-on-one!”
"Listen. How about I guide you through this mess? I’m just a helpful kind of gal, really. Your bag got stolen, right? So what’s your next step here?”
"That’s right! And you’ve got three Pokémon right here ready to help!”
"Hear that? They’re down! Now choose which Pokémon you’ll battle with!”
"That’s Chikorita, the Leaf Pokémon! It can shoot out supersharp leaves! You want to battle together with Chikorita?”
"That’s Totodile, the Big Jaw Pokémon! It can blast out might jets of water and bite like a champ! You want to battle together with Totodile?”
  • Upon interacting with Tepig
"That’s Tepig, the Fire Pig Pokémon! It breathes fantastic flames from its nose! You want to battle together with Tepig?”
  • If choosing “Let me think” after asked about each starter
"So, which Pokémon is it gonna be?"
  • After choosing a starter
"All right! I know all this is a lot, but enjoy your first-ever Pokémon battle here in Lumiose City!”
"Real quick, I’ll tell you the very basics of Pokémon battles! You gotta order your new buddy Chikorita/Totodile/Tepig to use its moves to attack the other Pokémon! If the opposing Pokémon’s HP—hit points—fall to zero, you win!”
"I respect that spirit. But you’re gonna have egg on your face for real if you lose to a newbie!”
"Oh, I know. Hope you’ll put up a little more of a fight than you did last time!”
"I know it’s your first match, but you can do this! Have faith in your Pokémon’s strength! You can always use moves that lower your opponent’s Defense, too!”
"Well, it was good to get some practice! Come battle us again sometime.”
"C’mon!”
"Yeah, a fist bump! Put them knuckles out!”
"That’s huge, winning your first battle! You and your new buddy must’ve been meant to meet.”
"Why don’t you keep Chikorita/Totodile/Tepig as your partner? Something tells me you two are gonna be great together! Here, have Chikorita/Totodile/Tepig’s Poké Ball, too. We keep Pokémon in these to bring ‘em around with us.”
"Chikorita/Totodile/Tepig looks as happy as you are!”
"You’ve got the makings of a terrific duo! Don’t worry, <player>. You’re gonna love being a Pokémon Trainer!”
"Oh no. We chatted too long. It’s night already… And here we are in a battle zone. Rotten luck.”
"We don’t have time for a full explanation right now, but here’s the gist… Battle zones are intense! Anyone who finds you in here can challenge you to a battle on the spot!”
"But I know a safe place we can go! We’ll have these two Pokémon take care of your bag. Totodile and Tepig/Chikorita and Tepig/Chikorita and Totodile, you got this!”
"They’ll be fine! Other Pokémon will leave ‘em alone. Plus, those two can climb fences and get into places where people can’t follow ‘em. Unfortunately, that won’t work for us. So we gotta get out of this battle zone. Follow me!”
"Stay right behind me!”
"Over here!”
"We’re almost there!”
"No, wait! My friend here isn’t part of—”
"Sounds like you gotta beat her, <player>! Don’t worry, you and your partner can win this!”
"I tried to tell you!”
"Okay, wow, <player>. You’re something! You and Chikorita/Totodile/Tepig have some serious teamwork going!”
"Anyway, that was a good lesson in how intense battle zones can be. So here’s my advice as your kind new friend who loves helping people… Let’s get the heck out of here before someone else comes after us looking to battle!”
"Look, I’m trying to get our hotel guest to safety. Would you please let us through?”
"If that’s how you wanna play it, then take me on!”
"Don’t hit them!”
"Nicely done, Floette! But maybe you should save that Light of Ruin move for when it really counts, huh?”
"<player>, let me introduce you to Floette. She’s a very special Pokémon, She’s apparently three thousand years old! And thanks to Floette, those troublemakers cleared off! Let’s hurry to our safe spot—Hotel Z!”
"You can relax now—we’re out of the battle zone. Hotel Z’s just through here!”
  • Upon going in the wrong direction
"Not that way!”

Hotel Z

"Welcome to our humble establishment—Hotel Z!"
"We pride ourselves in offering the most tranquil, relaxing stays around…to all the guests we don’t have. C’mon in.”
"I’m back, AZ!”
"Good news! We’ve got a guest!”
"That’s right! This is <player>. He stepped off the train at the Gare de Lumiose and right into a world of trouble. But he battled his way out! Clicked with my Chikorita/Totodile/Tepig perfectly! So I entrusted him with Chikorita/Totodile/Tepig as a partner!”
"Yeah! It felt like they were meant to be a team. But then night fell and we got caught up in Z-A Royale stuff, so I brought ‘em here.”
"No, I’m glad you did! Floette saved our skins with her Light of Ruin—it’s a heck of a move. You’re so wise, AZ, I can almost believe you really ARE three thousand years old like you always say!”
"You can take the elevator to the second floor. Rest up for tonight, then come meet me down here in the lobby tomorrow morning!”
"Hey. Sorry, I know I said you should sleep, but can we talk for a sec?”
"Begging your pardon, dear guest! I neglected to show you our hotel’s true gem—a stunning panorama.”
"That means “C’mon, you gotta see the roof!”"
"Bit late now, but welcome to Lumiose City! It’s got its weird parts, but it’s a good place. I like it here.”
"Listen… I owe AZ big-time for all the help he’s given me since I got here. I want to do right by him in return. Not to put you on the spot, but…think you could give me a hand?”
"Thanks—that means a lot!”
