If you don't mind, could you help me investigate?"

*Intro
:"I'm Lance, dragon master and of the Indigo League! I never refuse a challenge!"
*Cynthia's Perspective
* Off-screen, as "???"
: "Dragonite, Hyper Beam!"
* After appearing, as Lance
: "I doubt it has anything to do with us being cousins, . But thank you for helping me get accustomed to the battle style of this place."
:"Well, well, who do we have here? Training with <player> again today, ?"
:"Sorry, Rosa. Can it wait until after this battle? I can't let my fans down."
:"Come on, Clair. Let's do this."
:"Ah, that's right. I guess that leaves you two. Rosa, <player>, let's team up."
:"I suppose this is as good a chance as any to see exactly what you're capable of. Give these fans everything you've got!"
*Lance's Perspective
:"I think I'm starting to like the battle style here on Pasio. It lends itself to different strategies than I'm used to elsewhere."
:"Now then, you mentioned you had something you wanted to ask me before?"
:"I see... Who's the greatest dragon master, me or ? Interesting question."
:"And you say the whole island's been talking about this? I had no idea."
:"... ... ..."
:"It's true that you're strong, Clair. And it's good to have confidence in your own abilities..."
:"but there's a limit to what's good and what's not. Too much pride can make you overconfident, and overconfidence can make you vulnerable."
:"To get back to your question, Rosa, I think I share Cynthia's feelings about the title of who's "the greatest.""
:"I know the vanity that title holds."
: "A long time ago, when I was a member of the Elite Four but not Champion, I was defeated by ."
:"He claimed to be the greatest of all, and he had the strength and skill to back it up."
:"But eventually, came along, and even he was defeated... It was then that I realized something."
:"That title—"the greatest"—can inflate your ego, but it doesn't really mean anything. It's an illusion, there one minute and gone the next..."
:"The way I see it, seeking to grow and improve yourself is far more worthwhile than chasing a fleeting illusion of greatness."
:"*chuckle* Glad I could bring a bit of perspective."
:"Well, if you'll excuse me, I've been meaning to take a stroll around the city sometime today."
:"Thanks. I'd appreciate that."
:"Interesting. I wonder if they have any good capes for sale around here..."
:"Hm?"
:"And you, Cynthia. You seem to be keeping yourself busy here on Pasio."
:"We seem to have become one of the island's biggest attractions."
:"... ... ..."
:"Heh, you took the words right out of my mouth."
:"We may be Champions in title, but we're still Pokémon Trainers first and foremost, just like anyone else."
:"When our eyes meet..."
:"It's fine by me. I never refuse a challenge."
:"No matter who the challenger may be."
:"Well, <player>? Will you lend us your strength? Our challengers are a team of three, so it would only be fair."
*Surprise Entrance
:: Lance!: "Thank you, <player>. I'm glad you have confidence in me."
:: "Watch–I will win this battle! I stake my title of Lance, master of dragons, on my victory!"
:: "Well...shall we begin, Cynthia?"
:: "Time for you and to show me the full extent of your power!"
:"Clair... You never give up, do you?"
:"Fine...but if this is going to be a team battle, let's play by the rules."
:"<player>, will you lend me your strength one more time?"
:"and Lance, Champion of the Indigo League?"
:"Here we come!"
*At Long Last...
: "You can be a little impulsive sometimes, Clair..."
: "but that earnest, straightforward attitude of yours is one of your greatest strengths as well. If you can learn to hone that, the sky is the limit!"
:"Come and find me whenever you want to battle! I'll accept your challenge anytime, anywhere!"
:"About that..."
:"Sorry to disappoint you all, but I think I'm going to need a rain check. Cynthia and I will have to battle another time!"
:"Right. That's just basic Pokémon training protocol. You have to make sure your Pokémon are all right before jumping into a battle situation with them..."
:"even if it means having others tease you or accuse you of running away from a challenge."
:"No, it's all right. I'm sorry to have to let you all down today."
:"But as long as we're on Pasio, there will be endless opportunities for us to battle!"
:"Now you've got something to look forward to! Right, everyone?"
:"Everyone here loves Pokémon as much as we do. I knew they would understand."
:"Besides..."
:"I can think of a much better place for our ultimate battle together."
:"The PML finals seem like a perfectly appropriate platform to me..."
:"That sounds like a promise. I'll climb through the ranks and make sure it's me standing across from you on that battlefield at the finals!"
:"Someday soon, we will have our ultimate showdown!"

:"And since I'm wearing this impressive Gyarados outfit, Gyarados and I will take you on!"
:"Well, Dragonite is out delivering cards right now."
:"Besides, the best Trainers know how to adapt to unpredictable situations, right?"
:"I see. You had a game plan and everything. That's why you sent me this card, huh?"

: "Oh, <player>! Fancy meeting you here!"
:: Three Dragonite!?: "Hahaha! Amazing, right? Does that surprise you?"
:: Those Pokémon are...?: "Oh? Are you curious about them?"
: "All three of these Dragonite are my Pokémon."
: "Just now, I was having all of them train together."
: "While you're here, how about I give you a little quiz?"
: "Among these Dragonite is my partner Pokémon—the one I was partnered with when I awakened my arc suit."
: "Can you tell which one it is?"
:: The one in the middle!: "Wow, color me impressed!"
:: The one on the right!: "Heh. You've still got work to do!"
: "The answer is...this one!"
: "Other Trainers may not see a huge difference..."
: "but I can see clearly what sets each one apart from the others."
: "They all worked hard to excel in different areas."
: "It's true that dragons are tricky to raise..."
: "Not to brag, but I went through a lot to raise them into the strong, reliable Pokémon they are now."
: "I trained the three of them together and kept challenging really tough Trainers over and over again!"
: "When they were still and Dragonair, we lost a fair share of those battles..."
: "I also battled Red and Blue with two Dragonair, when we first met."
: "I have different memories of raising each of my Dragonite—good ones and rough ones."
: "We continued to gain experience and grow together, which brought us to where we are now."
: "Because of the way I bonded with these Dragonite I raised..."
: "I was able to awaken a new kind of power."
: "That said, I don't think this is the best we can do as a sync pair, either."
: "We've gained a new power with this arc suit, but I can't get complacent..."
: "I plan on always aiming higher."
: "It would be the best feeling ever to strengthen my bonds with my other Dragonite and battle beside them in my arc suit!"
: "The time you spend with your Pokémon will become precious memories that will help you grow as a sync pair."
: "Don't forget to cherish your Pokémon, <player>..."
: "Battle together, worry together, and let your bond grow!"
;Sync Pair Story - A Day with Red
: "I thought I heard some loud noises around here. So you all were battling, huh?"
: "That was a great match. I can tell you've both been training your Pokémon quite a bit."
: "Especially that of yours, ."
: "The way it was moving earlier shows you've been raising it well. It's looking great!"
: "I see. When you say your first adventure..."
: "Do you mean your travels through the Kanto region?"
: "Red had to wake him up?"
: "What a fascinating story. I wish I'd been there to see it."
: "I imagine it was a great battle."
: "Oh? Did also give it a try?"
: "I see. So that loss just made you fonder of that Snorlax, huh?"
: "I'm sure you're ready to go another round, aren't you?"
