===Pokémon Sun and Moon===
;Mount Hokulani
:"You're still as fired up as ever, eh, 'Royal'?"
:"But I was the captain once, my masked friend."
:"It's <player>, right? Thanks for coming all the way up Hokulani to visit us. But our Captain Sophocles is a busy young man. Always calculating comets' paths or working on that Festival Plaza thing of his..."
:"So I'll just determine whether you're qualified to take on the trial."
:"I'll heal your team first, of course."
* Before battle
:"I'll gladly show you the skills of a who toughened up while adventuring alongside Kukui back in the day!"
* Upon being defeated
:"You're with Kukui... Looks like he brought along a good Trainer."
* After being defeated
:"Well, well, you certainly seem qualified to take on the trial."
:"That guy's as interesting as ever. My old buddy!"
:"Welcome to our observatory, <player>!"
;Hokulani Observatory
* First quiz answered wrongly
:"Soffy! I'll shut the system down as soon as I can, so hang in there!"
* Second quiz answered wrongly
:"Soffy! I can hear a buzz in your voice! I think I can just about shut the system down..."
* Third quiz answered wrongly
:"Stay calm, Soffy! types can't be , after all!"
* Fourth quiz answered wrongly
:"Soffy! If you get tall and skinny, people might mistake you for me! Should I start calling you Uncle Soffy? But wait... how can we be each other's uncles?!"
* After defeating Totem 
:"Soffy!"
:"Nice work, Captain! You helped <player> here through his/her trial, and your experiment was a success!"
:"It seems that your Ping Totem Pokémon 2.0 uses too much electricity. If we can get a little assistance from , we should be able to make some improvements."
:"Congratulations on clearing your trial! And you, Sophocles. You did well as captain."
:"Don't you worry. I'm sure that I made the right choice in naming you captain. Even if you are my cousin."
:"Usually it's the island kahuna who appoints the captains. But there are some, er, unusual circumstances here on ."
:"I see... Then let me reward you!"
:"This is one of the Z-Crystals that I collected long ago during my own island challenge to prove my strength and that of my Pokémon. So it seems fitting that it go from me to you. Take it, and use it well."
:"And if we're done here, <player>... Could I ask you to do a favor for me? Professor Kukui forgot this."
:"He said he would be going back to Malie Garden. Could you take it to him?"
* If talked to again
:"The only reason to start anything is 'cause it seems like it'll be fun. That's all you need!"
;
First challenge
* Before battle
:"I came to check on what Kukui has built, and... the Pokémon League is fantastic! It's a place that conveys the awesomeness of Alola to the . And in that case, I guess that what's important is what kind of Trainer the is."
* Upon being defeated
:"That Kukui...he discovered a great Trainer."
* After being defeated
:"Just as I'd expect from an acquaintance of Kukui's! I too am proud that you are the strongest Pokémon Trainer in Alola! I'll try to come hang out again. Pokémon battles with you are more fun than any game!"
Subsequent challenges
* Before battle
:"I gave the captain position to my cousin Sophocles, but I'm confident in my ability. My strength is like that of a supernova!"
* Upon being defeated
:"That Kukui...he discovered a great Trainer."
* After being defeated
:"Just as I'd expect from the Champion! In every situation, you pick the best moves and items. So I too have to rack my brain in the battle... At some point I want to have a battle with Sophocles and me as a duo versus you and Kukui for all the marbles. Or I guess a Battle Royal?"
===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
;Mount Hokulani
:"You're still as fired up as ever, eh, "Royal"?"
:"But I was the captain once, my masked friend."
:"It's <player>, right? Thanks for coming all the way up Hokulani to visit us. Our Captain Sophocles is a rather busy young man, I'm afraid. Always calculating comets' paths or updating that Festival Plaza thing of his... If you want to be introduced to the Masked Royal, though... Well, that's something I could definitely help you with right here and now."
:"That guy's as interesting as ever. My old buddy!"
:"Here's a little something to remember our meeting by, <player>!"
:"Behold!"
:"Cutting sharpness! Unyielding power! Yes, this move has them both! And it is what you need to know to draw forth the Z-Power. I gathered these Z-Crystals when I was on my own island challenge back in my own day, adventuring with and my Pokémon in search of strength. You should go ahead and use it now. Now go on inside and tour our observatory as you like! And if you're ready for the real trial, Captain Sophocles can be found in the head's office!"
;Hokulani Observatory
:"Hokulani Observatory can view distant planets and galaxies. With the help of Pokémon like and , of course!"
:"I guess it's time to feed you guys!"
;Mount Hokulani
:"There you are! The Charjabug are all fed and happy!"
:"Hm? Let's see... I'm only counting six! They're not all here yet."
:"I'm sorry, <player>, but do you think you could go find the remaining Charjabug? We're only missing three. They should still be eating in that empty lot by the bus station."
* If talked to again when the player found none or one Charjabug
:"You only have three Charjabug left, <player>! They should still be eating in the area in front of the bus stop. If you could find them, that would be great!"
* If talked to again when the player found two Charjabug
:"You only have one Charjabug left, <player>! It should still be eating in the area in front of the bus stop. If you could find it, that would be great!"
* After finding two Charjabug and searched the empty spot
:"How's it going, <player>? Didja find all those Charjabug?"
:"Oh, seems like Sevenjabug is missing... It always wanders off to strange places. Hm? Oh, we call the nine Charjabug by their nicknames! Onejabug all the way to Ninejabug."
* If talked to again when the player found two Charjabug and searched the empty spot
:"Only Sevenjabug is missing. It always wanders off to strange places."
* After the player found Sevenjabug
:"Oh, Sevenjabug, there you are! Thanks for the help in finding it, <player>! Now, we should get back to Sophocles. No doubt he's been craning his neck like an waiting for us!"
;Hokulani Observatory
:"Onejabug, Twojabug, and Threejabug are all on board the Roller... Yes! We should be ready for them to lend us their electricity, eh, Soffy?"
:"Just as an example, this is what happens when you rotate the panels."
* If talked to again
:"Sophocles's trial will tickle your brain, I promise you that!"
* After defeating Elekid
:"Ah, of course. love electricity, too. It must have been tempted out by the Pinger."
:"We didn't call the Pokémon we wanted, but it seems like the Pinger works just fine. So, what now, Soffy?"
* After defeating Electabuzz
:"Hm... . It seems like the more power we pump into the Pinger, the bigger Pokémon it attracts. This is amazing, Soffy!"
:"If that's the case, let's give it some more power! That'll definitely summon the Totem Pokémon!"
* After solving the third puzzle
:"'s Ability is . It can attract electricity to itself. But...the current is too strong! There's no way Togedemaru's electric sacs can handle all of it!"
* After defeating Totem Togedemaru
:"I'm curious, though. What is that aura that the Totem Pokémon surround themselves with?"
:"You've got that right, Soffy. Finding things that you notice, even little things, and improving on them... That's how science works. Come to think of it, that's how Pokémon battles work, too!"
:"Come on, Soffy—you still need to show him/her the proper Z-pose to use it!"
:"Congratulations on clearing your trial! And Sophocles did well as captain, too."
:"Don't you worry. I'm sure that I made the right choice in naming you captain. Even if you are my cousin."
:"Usually it's the island kahuna who appoints the captains. But there are some, er, unusual circumstances here on Ula'ula."
:"Maybe you should invite him/her to check out the Battle Agency in that case!"
:"You kids have a good time!"
* After visiting the Battle Agency
:"Well, if you're done here, <player>... could I ask you to do a favor for me? My pal Kukui seems to have forgotten this."
:"He said he'd be going back to Malie Garden, didn't he? Sorry to ask, but take it to him, would you?"
* If talked to again
:"He said he would be going back to Malie Garden. Could you take it to him?"
* If talked to again after delivering Professor's Mask to Kukui
:"The only reason to start anything is 'cause it seems like it'll be fun. That's all you need!"
* During Mina's trial
:"Well, Soffy, I guess this will be good-bye for a little while..."
:"Now, Soffy... When you're saying good-bye to someone who is important to you, you gotta show them one last smile! That's what that old friend of mine always said, anyway, back when we did our island challenge."
:"Hey, <player>! Thanks again for doing that favor for me before. It sure seems like you've gotten to see some interesting things on your island challenge. It's been quite the experience for you!"
:"I know! Why don't you two have a little battle now, while I can still watch?/It's time for the next generation to start taking their place among the stars, I guess. So, Soffy... Hokulani Observatory is all yours now."
:"You both did very well! I'm looking forward to seeing how far you both will make it in the future. Soffy... The observatory is all yours now."
* If the player answers "I'm not ready..." to Sophocles and talks to Molayne
:"The island challenge... It sure is nice. You can reach so many new places thanks to the Pokémon partner you've got beside you."
; Hau'oli Outskirts 
:"Hi, <player>. What a coincidence!"
:"The Machamp I call upon as a Ride Pokémon really loves training, so we sometimes come here together."
:"Great! That is the right amount of load for the muscle!"
:"Lifting a heavy object! That is, the change in potential energy! The science you can learn from the muscles is inspiring!"
:"Yeah. I should train sometimes, too."
:"Hm! Hm! Hm! Hm!"
:"*sigh* Of course, Machamp is stronger than me. Well, let's call it a day."
:"The Masked Royal is really great. He could lift me quite easily."
:"Are you satisfied?"
:"All right. See you again!"
;
* Upon entering the Metal Chamber
:"Hey!"
;First battle
* Before battle
:"Kukui asked me to, so I decided to be in the Elite Four. I'm looking forward to battling against you and Sophocles in the Pokémon League."
* Upon being defeated
:"That Kukui... He certainly found an interesting Trainer for me to face!"
* After being defeated
:"Kukui made Trainers who he thought were strong into members of the Elite Four, but he didn't choose any challengers. He's waiting for a fresh breeze to blow through Alola."
;Rematch
* Before battle
:"The Pokémon League is fantastic! It's a place that conveys the awesomeness of Alola to the world. And in that case, I guess that what's important is what kind of Trainer the is."
* Upon being defeated
:"That Kukui... He certainly found an interesting Trainer for me to face!"
* After being defeated
:"Just as I'd expect from the Champion! In every situation, you pick the best moves and items. So I too have to rack my brain in the battle..."
* If talked to again...
:* If battled first
::"<Player>! You're gonna be a Trainer who everyone admires."
:* If battled second
::"In the battle with you, I realized the areas in which Sophocles needs to improve."
:* If battled third
::"Battling with you is interesting! I think you outdo even Kukui. You're second to none!"
:* If battled last
::"Just what I'd expect of a Pokémon Trainer discovered by the Masked Royal."

;Main Story PML Arc - Chapter 26 - The Future Is Now!
*Sync Pair Pinger, Activate!
: "Hi there, . I hear you're doing pretty good in the PML."
: "And this must be <player>. I've heard a lot about you."
: "My name's Molayne. I run the Hokulani Observatory in Alola."
: "I'm also cousin. Nice to meet you."
:: Nice to meet you, too, sir!: "How polite! It seems the rumors about you being a promising your Trainer were true."
: "Hahaha! I guess we still have some work to do fixing that shyness of yours, Soffy."
: "Anyway, we heard about your predicament from Professor Bellis."
: "So you want to battle a lot of strong sync pairs to prepare for your battle with , huh?"
: "Doesn't it feel great to have invented something that will help a lot of people?"
: "My good friend said he comes around here pretty often. Maybe you'll be able to have a battle with him."
: "Well, it's not Kukui."
*Steadfast Inventors
: "So, what do you think? Was that a good battle?"
*Third Time's the Charm
: "Soffy, , why don't you give it an inspection?"
: "... ... ..."
*Progress Is Progress!
: "So, how were the sync pairs the machine found for you this time?"
: "Well...maybe it didn't work this time."
: "But you still made progress!"
: "Look up at the sky, both of you."
: "I run an observatory, so every day I look up at the sky, just like this."
: "One day, I hope to discover a brand-new star that nobody has ever seen before."
: "Thanks! I still haven't discovered one yet, though."
: "But if I don't find one today, maybe I will tomorrow! And if not tomorrow, it might show up the next day..."
: "But I'm sure I'll find one eventually as long as I don't give up!"
: "It's the same with inventions."
: "As long as you keep on trying, one day you'll succeed! A setback doesn't mean your work has gone to waste."
: "Because you're still making progress!"
: "That's fine! It shows that you're passionate about creating something that can help others!"
: "Now..."
: "That said, we're not quite done yet, are we, <player>?"
: "I was thinking about it, and–"
: "Hm? ?"
: "... ... ..."
: "I see. In that case, Soffy, Clemont, why don't we have a battle?"
: "No holding back, of course. After all, this is to help out <player>!"
: "Right, <player>?"
: "Then it's decided! Time for a battle!"
: "I'll gladly show you the skills of a Trainer who toughened up while adventuring alongside Kukui back in the day!"
*An Unexpected Visitor
: "You're strong... No wonder your team has been doing well in the tournament!"
: "Soffy, Clemont, about that..."
: "I think the Sync Pair Pinger never really worked at all."
: "I think they just got excited because they saw <player> battling and wanted to join in on the fun!"
: "You noticed it, too, right? They are your partner Pokémon, after all!"
: "There's no need to feel bad about it."
: "What do you think about me joining your team, <player>?"
: "In my opinion, the machine failed because of a lack of sync pair data!"
: "With better data, I think the machine could really work! If we can get it up and running for real, the PML will be a breeze!"
: "Partially! But another reason is..."
: "I'd love to battle you again!"
: "That battle just now was so exciting! It took me right back to my island-hopping days with Kukui!"
: "I want to have more battles like that!"
: "So what do you say, <player>?"

:: "You really love photography, don't you."
:: "But if you're taking all the photos, who's going to take one with you in it?"
:* If spoken to again
:: "I'd usually offer to use this opportunity to gather more data for Soffy and Clemont..."
:: "But given the occasion, I think I'll prioritize enjoying the battle instead!"

: "Are those the costumes for the star festival? They suit ."

: "OK! If that's the case, let's get the lesson started!"

;Sync Pair Story - A Day with Molayne
: "Whoa! Sorry, sorry."
: "Looks like my 's feeling pretty energetic."
: "Actually, we were just doing some training to better adapt to the battle style on Pasio."
: "But it looks like Dugtrio might've gotten a little carried away."
: "I'll be more careful next time... *yawn*"
:: Are you tired?: "Whoops. That was embarrassing just now..."
:: You look sleepy.: "Haha... Yawning in front of someone is pretty embarrassing."
: "I think I've been letting my passion for astronomical observation cut into my sleeping schedule a little too much lately, hehe."
: "As the head of Hokulani Observatory, I can't help but want to use all of my observations here in my research!"
: "Pasio and Alola have very different skies, each with their own unique data set that I can record. It's why I never get tired of watching the stars!"
: "Ah, but don't worry. I do get regular sleep more often than not."
: "But there are times when I think I'm on the verge of discovering something truly amazing, only to lose track of the time altogether."
: "That's why I yawned earlier and why Dugtrio took off and left me behind."
: "Haha, looks like they're at it again."
: "Dugtrio's heads often compete with each other to see which of them has the best metal whiskers."
: "Now let's see..."
* Off-screen
: "Yes, yes! You have a very original hairstyle!"
: "Your whiskers are large and elegant!"
: "Oh! Your whiskers are looking just as soft and stylish as ever!"
* On-screen
: "Hmm... Dugtrio usually calms down after I compliment his three heads."
:: They look the same to me.: "No, no, they're quite different. They each have their own distinct charm."
:: What's different about them?: "I suppose it's not immediately obvious. You've got to look closely to see their differences."
: "After spending every day with Dugtrio, you start to notice what makes each head so unique."
: "The same could also be said of the stars in the sky. They look the same at first glance, but they're actually quite different."
: "Different things coming together to create new and beautiful landscapes."
: "That's how I think of Dugtrio, too. Each head is unique in its own way, but they come together to create a force to be reckoned with!"
:: Like a team on Pasio!: "Hmm, I suppose you're right! From three sync pairs, we create a single team!"
:: Like a battle using sync pairs!: "Right! Each sync pair is different, but together they create a power that's greater than the sum of its parts!"
: "We could all learn from Dugtrio and work on our teamwork."
: "Oh? Looks like Dugtrio's heads have calmed down."
: "I guess the worst of their whisker argument has passed... *yawn*"
:: You need to get some rest!: "Ahaha... I suppose you're right. I should go catch a few z's."
:: Looks like you need a nap break!: "Ahaha... I suppose you're right. I should go get some rest."
: "After I'm good and rested, you'll join me for some training, right? I'd be glad if you did!"

* Random conversation
: "Seems that Elite Four members from all over are on Pasio, too."
: "I'm still pretty new to Alola's Elite Four."

: "I've got to do what I can to keep up with the other members of the Alola Elite Four."
* Random conversation
: "You've got the same look in your eyes that did when he was younger!"

* Random conversation
: "It's been a while since I've walked around in a new place and met so many new people. It's a nice feeling."
: "Now that I'm an adult, I've found a new thing to look forward to—seeing you get stronger and stronger!"
: "When the memories I made adventuring as a kid come back to me, I can't help but feel warm and fuzzy."
: "I hope the memories we make adventuring together become just as precious to you."
