;Main Story PML Arc - Chapter 17 - Ghostly Trio
*Ghostly Trio: Part 1
:"We'll be facing quite the formidable opponent in our next battle. It's <player>'s team."
:"They may not be the most experienced, but they've got a lot of momentum. An opponent like that can be tough to handle when they're on a roll."
:"Don't let our individual titles get to your head. This is a team battle, after all."
:"If each of us doesn't focus on her own strengths and support the others in battle, we may end up losing what should have been a winnable battle."
:"Well, well, well. I suppose confidence is a good thing."
:"What's so funny?"
:"How rude! Comparing me to your old granny!"
:"I suppose I'll forgive you. I know you meant it as a compliment, so I'll try to take it that way."
:"There's one thing I wanted to say to before this next battle."
:"We came together because we thought we had some kind of connection, but this team of ours is really not half bad."
:"Then let's give it our all out there and show everyone the strength of Pokémon!"
:"This is it—the real thing. Are you girls ready?"
:"That's what I like to hear. <player>, was it?"
:"As you can see, we are a team of Ghost-type Pokémon Trainers."
:"We'll show you just how strong a team full of ghosts can be—and win while we're at it!"
::You won't defeat us!: "Oh, we'll see about that!"
::W-we're not afraid of gh-ghosts!: "Ahahaha, perhaps this will be over before the battle begins?"
:"Enough with the formalities! Let's get started. After all, Pokémon are—"
*Ghostly Trio: Part 2
:"Oh my! I can't believe we lost. You're quite the Trainer!"
:"It seems like you all have a better grasp on what it takes to truly battle as a team."
:"As long as we understand what we did wrong, that's enough. Reflecting on our mistakes makes us stronger as people."
:"I have to thank you, <player>. This defeat will make these girls stronger still."
:"This may seem sudden, but could I ask you for a favor, <player>?"
:"I'd like you to let these girls join your team. They need more experience battling."
:"They could experience many kinds of battles and encounter many kinds of Pokémon with you."
:"And also meet many new friends. If you'd let them be a part of your team, I'm sure they could do all those things."
:"I need to start from scratch. I'll sit back and watch the tournament and try to learn more about team battles."
:"Once I'm satisfied, I'll make a team again. Who knows—maybe someday I'll face you in battle."
:"That's the spirit. Keep doing your best."
:"Oh, you have a problem with my suggestion?"
:"Hmmph. I guess I can't stop you."
:"Well then, do me a favor and take good care of Acerola, <player>."
::You got it!: "That's what I like to hear. Thanks!"

: "But Pokémon are for battling!"
: "If you want to keep winning, I'd say you ought to evolve your Pokémon."

;Sync Pair Story - A Day with Agatha
* Off-screen
:: Let's battle!/I'll catch you!: "Now, now, dear, you shouldn't frighten guests like that."
* After appearing
: "Sorry about that, <player>."
: "You can draw out 's power to the fullest in dark places, which is why we're here."
: "I myself like places where the sun doesn't shine. They make me feel calm."
:: Really?/That's weird.: "Don't judge me. That's just how I am."
:: Doesn't it get lonely?/Without me, wouldn't it be lonely?: "That's really none of your concern."
: "Why is it that I always meet people like you? It's been that way for a long, long time."
:: What do you mean?/Who are you talking about?: "And on top of being nosy, you're a meddlesome child, too."
: "Ah well... I guess it won't hurt to talk a bit."
: "Do you know ? I've been stuck with him for a long, long time."
: "That old duff was once tough and handsome! He's a shadow of his former self now."
: "He does know and talk a lot about Pokémon, which might be why he's always surrounded by people. He used to shine so brightly."
: "Compared to him, I'm the quiet type when it comes to Pokémon. I like to get lost in thought about them all by myself."
: "I was doing what I liked, but that old duff Oak would not stop talking to me."
: "I think he was just trying to be nice, but he was giving me help I had never asked for."
: "He was taking up the time I wanted to spend in contemplation, so I thought I'd try to shut him up with a Pokémon battle."
: "But back then, that old guy was strong—undefeated, in fact. Was he as good as me? He was better."
: "So then I battled Oak again and again."
: "At some point, the time I spent with him started meaning a lot to me."
: "One day, all of a sudden, the old duff said he wanted to make a Pokédex."
: "I told him that Pokémon are for battling, but he wouldn't listen."
: "He wasted my precious time, and when he'd had enough of our battles, he left. Why do charming men have to be so meddlesome?"
: "He trampled all over my youth, even though I never wanted anything to do with him in the first place."
: "Hey, Gengar, don't interrupt me when I'm talking. You're just as meddlesome as ever, aren't you?"
:: Meddlesome?: "That's right. She always interrupts me when she thinks it's for my own good."
:: Maybe she's bored.: "No, it's not that. She always interrupts me when she thinks it's for my own good."
: "Whenever I talk about that old Oak guy, my tone of voice gets harsh, so she worries about me."
: "I always tell her she doesn't need to, though."
: "But the truth is, she has helped me many times throughout my life."
: "That's one thing you should keep in mind, <player>."
: "No matter how much you think you're all alone and no one understands you, people are never really alone."
: "If you take a look around, you'll definitely find someone meddlesome lurking nearby. Like in the shadow of that rock there."
;Sync Pair Story - A Day with Professor Oak
:* After tapping the in the second area, off-screen
:: "For a youngster, whine just like that ! It wasn't Gengar's fault at all!"
:* After appearing
::: Is that Agatha?: "That's right! I'm Agatha, of the Indigo Elite Four!"
:: "That's my line! What's an old duff like you doing way out here?"
:: "Even on Pasio, it's nothing but research and more research with you. Feh! How irksome."
:: "What I mean is that this is Pasio!"
:: "This is where sync pairs battle in the PML to find the strongest sync pair of them all."
:: "You doddering old duff! Long ago you were a great Trainer. Surely you must still feel some passion for battle!"
:: "What's more, you've got a partner Pokémon with you! Do you really not feel anything?"
:: "Feh... You sure have become a boring old researcher."
:: "It seems I'll just have to make you remember what a real battle is like! Right here, right now!"
:: "Well, for a doddering old duff, you've still got some fight left in you."
:: "Don't go making a fuss! There's nothing there."
:* After moving to the third area
:: "That's odd..."
:: "Sense anything, <player>?"
:* If spoken to in the third area
:: "Sense anything, <player>?"
: "We four aren't the only Trainers on this island, you know."
: "What's the problem, you old geezer?"
: "Seems the great Pokémon Professor is speechless and quaking in his shoes."
: "Really? I know that look quite well."
* Off-screen
: "He gets overwhelmed with excitement and his heart is truly touched when he comes across a Pokémon that hasn't been seen on Pasio before."
* On-screen
: "Oh ho! That's quite the expression! It reminds me of how you used to be back in the old days!"
: "So, what are you going to do? Don't tell me you're satisfied just with seeing ?"
: "How was it? Did it fire up your passion as a Trainer again?"
: "Seems I can't afford to slack off now. I'll need to prepare if I want to beat you, Oak."
;Sync Pair Story - Dusclops's Evolution
* Before battle
: "Our battles are going to get even tougher, and we have to get stronger if we want to be able to stand a chance."
: "Exactly. But you're still young yourself. Are you sure you're experienced enough to be looking after others?"
: "You sure know how to talk a big game, child. Can you back that up?"
* After being defeated
: "Ho ho! It looks like you have the skill to back up your boastful words!"
: "Keep this up in the PML matches, too, !"

:* If spoken to again
:: "I'd be more excited if that old duff were still competing, too, though."
:: "But enough about me."
* Random conversation
: "My 's mouth is huge."
: "She eats a lot and loves to laugh. She's a real lively one."
: "She's gentle and cute. Such a good Pokémon!"
: "She does like to make mischief, too, though."
:* If spoken to again
:: "When she tries to sneak up on me for some sort of prank, I have to be quick on my feet to dodge her."
:: "For Gengar, being mischievous is just how she plays with me. By now, I'm used to it."
* Random conversation
: "Pasio is the place to be right now, but night will fall here, too."
: "Even in the brightest of light, there is always darkness lurking nearby."
: "On nights when shadows seem to move on their own and cold winds are blowing, take care to watch for what's behind you."
: "Mind that ominous lights don't come to steal your soul away."
:* If spoken to again
:: "How well can you handle Pokémon, child?"
:: "They can sense a weak heart and will take advantage of it. You must always have a strong heart."
:: "Once you've grown close to one, there's no longer anything to be afraid of."
* Random conversation
: " in the Kanto region look scary, but when you get used to them, they can be quite sweet."
: "They'll come right down and land on your head and give you playful little bites."
: "If you're not watching them closely, though, they'll start to suck your blood, so you have to keep an eye on them."
:* If spoken to again
:: "For as big as their mouths are, Golbat have pretty short fangs."
:: "But you still need to be careful around them. Their fangs are thick, so it's tough to get them out once they've sunk them into you."
:: "Although that is one of the things I find cute about them."
* Random conversation
: "Why did you decide to become a Trainer, <player>?"
: "As long as you have a good reason, you've got nothing to worry about."

: "Keep on battling no matter how old you get!"
:* If spoken to again

:: "If you're a stronger Trainer than other people, you should keep battling as long as you live!"
* Random conversation
: "I've been having Pokémon battles for a very long time."
: "I've had times when my skills couldn't cut it."
: "But you can't give up at times like those! You have to keep battling again and again until you win!"
: "If you give up, you'll never grow as a Trainer!"
:* If spoken to again
:: "You're still so young, and that's precisely why you have so many more battles ahead of you."
:: "So take on as many of those battles as you can. That's the only way you'll get stronger, child!"
:: "There's no doubt about it!"
* Random conversation
: "When I was young, I was reckless at times, and I had the perfect rival."
: "And now I've got you youngsters."
: "I wonder how much fun I'll have against you."
:* If spoken to again
:: "The man I accepted as my rival was really strong."
:: "And now he's just some old duff..."
:: "Well, at least you've got some pluck. I don't think you'll turn out like him."
:: "You're not a Trainer if you don't battle! He really is such a waste of talent..."
