:"Hiya! I'm a ... ...No I'm not! Call me <sc>Bill</sc>! I'm a true blue <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>maniac</sc>! Hey! What's with that skeptical look? I'm not joshing you, I screwed up an experiment and got combined with a ! So, how about it? Help me out there!"
:" When I'm in the <sc>Teleporter</sc>, go to my PC and run the Cell Separation System!"
*After helping him
:" That cruise ship, <sc>S.S.Anne</sc>, is in <sc>Vermilion City</sc>. Its passengers are all trainers! They invited me to their party, but I can't stand fancy do's. Why don't you go instead of me?"

;Ecruteak City
:"Hi, I'm <sc>Bill</sc>. And who are you? Hmm, <player>, huh? You've come at the right time. I just finished adjustments on my <sc>Time Capsule</sc>. You know that can be traded, right? My <sc>Time Capsule</sc> was developed to enable trades with the past. But you can't send anything that didn't exist in the past. If you did, the PC in the past would have a breakdown. So you have to remove anything that wasn't around in the past. Put simply, no sending new moves or new in the <sc>Time Capsule</sc>. Don't you worry. I'm done with the adjustments. Tomorrow, <sc>Time Capsules</sc> will be running at all <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon Centers</sc>. I have to hurry on back to <sc>Goldenrod</sc> and see my folks. Buh-bye!"
;Goldenrod City
*After talking to him at the Ecruteak City Pokémon Center
:"Hi, <player>! Do us a favor and take this <sc></sc>. It came over when I was adjusting the <sc>Time Capsule</sc>. Someone has to take care of it, but I don't like being outside. Can I count on you to play with it, <player>?"
::Yes: "I knew it! Way to go, hero! You're the real deal, dude! OK, I'm counting on you. Take good care of it."
::Yes: "I knew you'd come through! Way to go! You're the real deal! OK, I'm counting on you. Take good care of it!"
::No: "Oh... Now what to do?"
*If the player is carrying six Pokémon
:"Whoa, wait. you can't carry any more ."
*After receiving Eevee
:"<sc>Prof. Elm</sc> claims <sc>Eevee</sc> may evolve in new and unknown ways."
*Subsequent visits
:"I used to experiment with a <sc>Teleporter</sc>. I ought to do a follow-up."

:*If box is full
:"<player>, your <sc>Box</sc> is full! You'll have to switch <sc>Boxes</sc> if you want to catch more ."
*When player fills up a Box (automatic call)
:"Hi, <player>? It's me, <sc>Bill</sc>! Thanks for using my <sc>Storage System</sc>. That last you sent filled your <sc>Box</sc> up. You'll have to switch <sc>Boxes</sc> if you want to catch more . Bye now!"

;Lanette's House
*In an email to Lanette
:"Your Storage System offers more convenience than mine. It has a lot of user-friendly features that make it fun and useful, too. It makes me proud that I played a part in its development. Here's hoping that you'll continue research in Storage Systems. From <sc>Bill</sc>"

;Sea Cottage
:"Hiya! I'm a ... ...No I'm not! Call me <sc>Bill</sc>! I'm a true-blue <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>maniac</sc>! Hey! What's with that skeptical look? I'm not joshing you, /. I screwed up an experiment and got combined with a ! So, how about it? Help me out there!"
:" Wait till I get inside the <sc>Teleporter</sc>. When I do, go to my PC and run the Cell Separation System."
*After helping him
:" That cruise ship <sc>S.S.Anne</sc> is in <sc>Vermilion City</sc>. I hear there are lots of <sc>Trainers</sc> on board, too. They invited me to their party, but I can't stand fancy do's. Why don't you go instead of me? Go and have a good time."

;Cinnabar Island
*After defeating Blaine
:"Huh? Hey, if it isn't <player>! Look, it's me, <sc>Bill</sc>. Long time no see! I hope you're still using my PC system. Well, listen, since we met up here, how about spending time with me? There's this little island in the far south called <sc>One Island</sc>. A friend invited me, so I'm on my way out there. How about it? Do you feel like coming with me?
::No: "What, are you too busy? Well, all right. The boat hasn't arrived yet anyway. I'll be waiting at the <sc>Center</sc> over there. Come see me when you're done with your business here."
::Yes: "All right, then. Let's go!"
::"Looks like my pal's boat arrived, too. He sent it specially here to <sc>Cinnabar</sc> to pick me up."
*In the Pokémon Center, if the player declined the offer

::Yes: "Well, that's it. Let's go!"
::"Looks like my pal's boat arrived, too. He sent it specially here to <sc>Cinnabar</sc> to pick me up."
*After returning from One Island
:"Hey, wasn't that a long cruise? My buddy <sc>Celio</sc> seemed to enjoy your company. I'm sure he'd welcome you if you were to visit him again. If you have a <sc>Tri-Pass</sc>, you can always take a ferry there from <sc>Vermilion Port</sc>. All right, thanks for your company!"
;
:"Here we are! This is <sc>One Island</sc>. There are several islands around here, and this is one of them. My friend <sc>Celio</sc> sent the boat to fetch me here. He's in charge of the island's PC network by his lonesome. ...Why am I telling you this now? Let's just go see <sc>Celio</sc>!"
;Pokémon Network Center
*Upon the player's arrival
:"Hey, there! <sc>Celio</sc>!"
:"Well, absolutely! How's your research coming along? ...Oh, wait a sec. <Player>, this is my buddy <sc>Celio</sc>. He's one dedicated PC <sc>Maniac</sc>! <sc>Celio</sc>, this is <player>, a rising contender as the <sc>Champ</sc>!"
:"So, bring me up to speed. How's your machine running?"
:"Oh, yeah? Okay, let me take a look-see. ...Hang on here... I think we can make it work. Let me help you, okay? <Player>, can I get you to wait for me just a bit? ...Actually, can I get you to do me a favor? The island next to this one's called <sc>Two Island</sc>. There's a guy there that runs a <sc>Game Corner</sc>. He has this thing for rare rocks and gems. We keep in touch, being fellow maniacs. So, can I get you to deliver this <sc>Meteorite</sc> to him?"
:"I'll catch you later! Say hi to the guy for me!"
*If talked to before visiting Three Island
:"Hmm... How about we try this like this..."
*After visiting Three Island, before rescuing Lostelle
:"Oh, hey, <player>! Did you see? We got the PC working! I've got a few things to show <sc>Celio</sc> here. Can you go out on a stroll or something for a little more?"
*After rescuing Lostelle
:"Oh, hey! <Player!>"
:"What kept you so long? Been out having a good time? We got it done. The PCs are up and running!"
:"No, no! There was almost nothing left for me to do. <sc>Celio</sc>, I have to hand it to you. You've learned a lot."
:"Well, there you have it. I'm finished with the job. We should head back to <sc>Kanto</sc>. <sc>Celio</sc>, I'll be seeing you again."

;Ecruteak City
:"Hi, I'm Bill. And who are you? Hmm, <player>, huh? You know what? I'm the one who developed the system to transfer Pokémon. But it couldn't have been done by me alone. For example, do you know the Hoenn region? This girl Lanette from Hoenn made the Pokémon Storage System easier to use. My friends all over the world are working together to improve the Pokémon trade and storage systems. I have to hurry on back to Goldenrod and see my folks. Buh-bye!"
;Goldenrod City
:"Hi, <player>! Would you do something for me and take this <sc>Eevee</sc>? It came over when I was adjusting the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Someone has to take care of it, but I don't like being outside. Can I count on you to play with it, <player>?"
::Yes: "I knew you'd come through! You're the real deal! Way to go! OK, I'm counting on you. Take good care of it!"
::* If the player is carrying six Pokémon:
:::"Whoa, wait. You can't carry any more Pokémon."
::No: "Oh... Now what to do?"
* After receiving Eevee
:"Professor Elm said <sc>Eevee</sc> can evolve into seven different kinds of Pokémon!"
* Subsequent visits
:"I used to do experiments on transferring things. Both the GTS and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection were inspired by my machine that transfers things!"
;Pokégear Phone
* Calling him
:"Good //! This is the Pokémon Storage System Administration Service. Who's calling? <player>, is it? Hang on a sec... ... ..."
:"Well, you're starting on the PC Box named <name of currently selected box> right now. That's an easy-to-remember name. Easy to remember is the best way to go."
:"Right now you're using the PC Box named <name of currently selected box>, right? That is a great name--I really like it."
:"So your PC Box is called <name of currently selected box>, right? That's not an ordinary name. I have a feeling you know a good name when you see it..."
:* If there is still available PC storage
::"OK, including the space left in <name of currently selected box>, you can still hold <number of free spaces in storage system> more Pokémon in the PC."
:* If the PC storage is full
::"Your PC Boxes are full! You'll have to release some Pokémon if you want to catch more."
:"Call again sometime..."
* Him calling the player
:* At random
::"Hello, is this <player>? That reminds me... Telephones, they change your voice into electricity to carry it over a long distance, don't they? So, if you consider that technology, you could change Pokémon into electricity and send them over large distances as well, no? So, based on that theory, I was able to come up with and create the Pokémon Storage system! Well, it's not quite as simple as a telephone, but you get the idea, right?"
:* When the player fills their PC boxes
::"Hey, this is Bill here. You know your PC Boxes are full, right? You've done a great job of catching Pokémon, haven't you! Seriously, it's wonderful, I tip my hat! That said, you do understand that with your PC Boxes full like that, you can't catch any more Pokémon? Just so you know."
======
:"Hiya! I'm a Pokémon... N-no! I mean—! I'm Bill! Call me Bill! I'm a true-blue Pokémon fanatic! Hey! What's with that skeptical look? I'm not joshing you, /. I screwed up an experiment and got combined with a Pokémon! So how about it? Help me out here!"
:" I'm gonna climb inside the teleporter, so you run the Cell Separation System for me! You can do it from that PC over there! You're gonna do it for me, right? Don't leave me hanging! I'm counting on you, /!"
* Upon interacting with the PC
:"Whoa, I should get in there! Don't mess this up, OK?"
* After helping him
:"Yee-haw! Thanks, /! I owe you one! ...Hey, you've got your right there in your Bag! Good job! If you ever catch too many Pokémon and your Box gets full, ! I bet he'd be mighty thankful! Oh! Look at me—I'd forget my own head if it weren't attached... I should do something to thank you, too! You did save me, after all. Here! Maybe this'll do."
:"That cruise ship, the S.S. Anne, pulls into port in Vermilion City. They invited me to some party on board, but I can't stand fancy gatherings. Why don't you go instead of me? There are a couple tickets in there, so have some fun with or something!"
* After returning to his house
:"If you catch too many Pokémon and your Box is just bursting full of 'em, send a whole bunch to the professor at once! He'll love it!"'
* Pokémon sighting reports on PC
:* No. 144
::"Here I am at the Seafoam Islands in my search for Pokémon I've never seen before! I came across some rapids underground that were too fast to swim across. I was exploring that area when, suddenly, I was hit by a blast of freezing cold. It was as if I was stuck in a blizzard! It got so cold, I began to black out. As my consciousness faded, I saw a pair of shiny wings over the waves. ...Could that have been the Legendary Pokémon ?! When I came to, I was lying on the ground outside of the cave, for some reason... I need to practice my swimming so that next time I can capture Articuno for sure!"
:* No. 145
::"Here I am at the abandoned in my search for Pokémon I've never seen before! I had no idea you could reach this place by swimming from that spot on . As I was exploring, one of the lying around suddenly attacked me! It made a huge explosion and knocked me out! But I do remember seeing some jagged-looking wings as I blacked out. ...Could that have been the Legendary Pokémon ?! When I came to, I found myself lying outside the Power Plant... As soon as I become able to withstand those explosions, I’m going back to catch Zapdos!"
:* No. 146
::"Here I am at in my search for Pokémon I've never seen before! It seems you can't get very far without doing something about the stone walls in the way. As I was exploring the cave, I saw the most beautiful Pokémon. It was so beautiful that I got overwhelmed and passed out. As I did, though, I saw it flap its brightly burning wings. ...Could that have been the Legendary Pokémon ?! When I came to, I was all alone... Next time, I've got to stay conscious so I can capture Moltres for sure!"
