==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
;Glaseado Gym
* Before battle
:"There you are!"
:"Brrrrrr... I'm freezing..."
:"...I take it you’re a challenger?"
:"My name's Grusha. I'm a snowboarder. Used to be pro, actually. Now I'm a Gym Leader."
:"I saw you on the slopes. Your skills... Yeah, they were pretty cool."
:"But don't let that go to your head."
:"Winter mountains are dangerous. They can throw your life right off course, easy as that."
:"Same thing with Pokémon battles, really... It's always the most dangerous when you're just starting to get the hang of things."
:"Today's not a great day to face me, you know... You’re better off giving up."
:"You sure you want to battle me?"
::You bet!: "Still tryin' to act cool, huh? That's too bad."
::Uh, I’m not sure now...: "Nice. Backing off takes its own kind of courage. But I know your type. You always choose to push forward in the end."
:"Well, this is my job now...so don’t take what I’m about to do personally."
:"Get ready to feel the icy bite of reality."
* In battle
::After sending out first Pokémon: "Don't say I didn't warn you. Not my fault if you get overwhelmed."
::Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "You're not just talk, I see. But you're still one false step from a steep fall!"
::Upon stallizing his : "Battles are like mountains in winter—the situation can change in a heartbeat."
::Upon first using Altaria's : "You're always just one step away from devastation... The cold will leave you shaking."
::Upon being defeated: "You melted straight through my ice..."
* After being defeated
:"Just like how I used to be..."
:"Oh, never mind. I should give you your Gym Badge."
:"Huh? You want a photo together to commemorate your win...?"
:"C-come on, that's...that's so uncool. I don’t usually do that sort of thing, but... OK, fine. Special occasion."
::If the player has less than eight Gym Badges: "With <number of Badges> Gym , you should be able to catch Pokémon of up to Lv. <level> more easily. They'll actually listen to you too, which is nice."
::If the player has all eight Gym Badges: "With 8 Gym Badges, you should be able to catch Pokémon of any level. They'll also listen to every word you say, whether it's cool or not."
:"Oh, and before I forget—you should take this, too."
:"Should be a lot more useful than some silly photo of you and me..."
:"Feel free to stop by again... If you don't mind the cold, that is."
;Glaseado Mountain
:"Huh? I recognize you..."
:"You here to hit the slopes? I don't recall the snow being too good today..."
::I'm here for a battle: "Aw, for real...? I've got something important to be dealing with in a bit, y'know..."
::I came to say hi: "What...? OK, now I really don't understand what you're up to."
:"Oh, I see... You're here to cover for Geeta."
:"So, your dream came true. You're Rank now. You must be so happy."
:"Oh, my bad... That sounded a lot more sarcastic than I'd intended."
:"Don't get me wrong. I really think it's amazing. Just... It's complicated for me—that's all."
:"Anyway, you came to test my skills, right? Let's just get this over with."
::Yes: "Let's head outside. You'd best hope it's not snowing."
::No: "You came all the way up here just to turn down a ? Man, you're a character, aren't you..."
::If talked to again after selecting No: "Are you ready now? Come on, let's get this over with."
;Glaseado Gym
* Before rematch battle
:""/""
:"These League-mandated inspections happen a few times a year."
:"If we don't show we're up for the job, we'll lose our positions as Gym Leaders."
:"Geeta always says it's just a formality, but..."
:"I've already had to give up on being a pro snowboarder. If she takes away the talents I still have to show, then what'll be left?"
:"Sorry, didn't mean to bring the temperature down. It's simple enough, really."
:"All I need to do is make sure the power of my Pokémon chills you to the bone!"
* In battle
::After sending our first Pokémon: "Conditions are... all right, I guess. Good enough to defeat you, anyway."
::Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "I won't let things heat up any further. Time to bring the deep freeze."
::Upon Terastallizing his Altaria: "Let it freeze. Let it snow. Let it pile up on top of us."
::Upon first using Altaria's Ice Beam: "I think you're getting a little hotheaded. Let me cool you down with this move!"
::Upon being defeated: "Your burning passion... I kinda like it, to be honest."
* After being defeated
:"Man, Geeta must really have it out for me. Sending someone there's no way I could beat..."
:"Still, no regrets on my part. I gave it everything I had."
:"I hit you full force, and I lost anyway. It made me feel...frustrated."
:"It makes me want to become stronger as a Gym Leader. Put more of myself into it."
:"I'd thought my passion had frozen over, but... you've rekindled it for me."
:"Thanks, <player>."
:"I won't lose next time. You'll see."
:"Try not to catch a cold on your way down the mountain, eh?"

*Smoldering Flame

: "I won't hang on to a dream I've already given up on."
: "My path as a snowboarder has been closed off..."
: "But now, I have Pokémon battles—that's the path I've chosen."
: "I met a Trainer in Paldea who I battled with full force, but I lost to them anyway. It made me feel...frustrated."
: "They were just like <player>, who I battled earlier."
: "Right now, I want to become stronger as a Gym Leader. I don't plan on making a comeback as a snowboarder."
: "...!"
: "Oh... Hey, <player>."
: "Are you worried about me?"
: "I keep thinking about what that woman said to me."
: "I'm so uncool..."
: "I can't believe I'm letting what she said get to me. I thought I'd gotten over everything."
:: Some people are worried about you: "Worried about me?"
:: I want you to meet some people: "Oh? Who?"
: "I'm honestly not really in the mood to talk...but sure, let's do it."
: "Maybe I'll at least feel a little better."
*Young and Overconfident
: "Then you two must be..."
: "... ... ..."
: "Yeah, that's right. If you got something you wanna say to me, too—"
: "Huh?"
* In flashback, off-screen
: "If you think you've got what it takes, come take me on!"
* Back to present, on-screen
: "Young and overconfident, huh..."
: "Easy for you to say—you've already overcome your challenges."
: "Well..."
: "Strength in being with Pokémon..."
: "Judging from your looks...I didn't expect you two to say such cool things."
: "But...thank you."
: "My path looked hazy at first, but I think it's starting to clear up now."
: "You're right... I just have to keep moving forward."
: "Sorry to bother you, Cetitan...but could you help me out with something?"
*The Course of Life
: "Good timing. I was just thinking about asking you to battle me."
: "I acknowledge what you said to me the other day."
: "I haven't completely thrown away my identity as a snowboarder."
: "But because of that..."
: "I've solidified my decision to focus on being a Gym Leader."
: "Wouldn't it be uncool if I gave in to being a Gym Leader just 'cause I had no other choice?"
: "The slopes I went down as a pro snowboarder weren't for nothing."
: "I want to focus on the slope ahead of me...and I'll use what I've learned from my past failures and successes to make sure I don't wipe out."
: "It might lead me to a bright future or a steep fall... I don't know."
: "I'll still make it all the way to the end, no matter what twists and turns the snow-capped mountains throw at me."
: "I'll ride this course of life with everyone—including my Pokémon."
: "So, with all that said..."
: "I want to challenge you to a battle to prove that I'm not all just talk. Is that cool with you?"
: "I don't get you... You tried to pick a fight with me earlier, and now you're suddenly praising me..."
: "Well, whatever."
: "I'll chill you to the bone... I just want to know what your true intention is."
;Sync Pair Story - A Day with Grusha
: "Brrrrrr... I'm freezing..."
: "Oh? Is that you, <player>?"
: "Why'd you come all the way to such a cold place?"
:: For an adventure, I guess?: "Adventure? There are so many other places you could go for that, though..."
:: I was just passing by.: "This isn't really a place where you can just pass by... You're kinda strange, huh?"
: "...Oh, me? I have an actual reason to be here."
: "This place is perfect for helping Cetitan get used to Pasio."
: "I need him to adapt to the environment here little by little, you know?"
: "Plus, it'll give us an advantage if it snows."
: "That's why I was looking up at the sky—to see if snow's on the way."
: "As you can see, there's not so much as a flake falling, but Cetitan still seems to be having fun."
: "He's always like this."
: "No matter what kind of environment or situation he's in, my Cetitan accepts it and always seems to have fun."
: "Like those times when he was by my side while I snowboarded..."
: "and when he joined me in battle as I faced challengers in my role as Gym Leader."
: "And now, we're about to take on team battles on Pasio..."
: "He's never changed and has always been by my side. Now that I think about it, that could be what's gotten me through everything."
: "Sorry, didn't mean to bring the temperature down."
: "I think Cetitan enjoys change."
: "I heard Cetoddle, the Pokémon that evolve into Cetitan, left the ocean and began living on land a very long time ago..."
: "How strange that they went out of their way to do that—and even chose to live in snowy mountains where the environment is harsh."
: "Maybe they had their reasons..."
: "Just like me..."
: "*sigh*"
: "I keep saying uncool things when I talk to you."
: "So...let's stop chatting and get moving."
:: How about a Pokémon battle?: "Straight to the point, eh?"
:: "Were you waiting to battle us?"
:: Yeah, it's cold just standing here. "Sorry to say this, but there's no guarantee that you'll warm up by battling us."
:: "In fact, you might find your mind and body both starting to freeze up."
: "Well, let's get started."
: "We'll bring the deep freeze and make sure our power chills you to the bone!"
