===Quotes===
;Caph Squad's Base
* Outside, before battle
:"Riri! I knew you'd be out here!"
:"Are you OK? You're not hurt, are you?!"
:"I'll take over guarding the base, Riri! You should get back inside!"
:"Oh, Riri! You need to stop this!"
:"That's why you should get back to the base and rest up—even just for a little bit!"
:"Riri, please! I'm your friend! Listen to what I'm saying!"
:"Hey, that's no way to sign off! Let me hear a "hasta la vistar!" from you, nice and loud!"
:"I'm your opponent now, you two! Come on—I'll take you both down!"
:"I'll protect Riri with everything I have. You ready to battle?"
::I'm so ready!: "Then here I come!"
::Hold on!: "Just hurry up and leave, then! I'm not budging an inch from here."
* Upon being defeated
:"I lost...but my defeat's not the one that matters."
* After being defeated
:"Even if all I did was buy Riri a bit of time, that's fine. My job here is done, so I'll head back inside! Hasta la vistar! ☆"
* Inside, after Eri is defeated
:"Oh, Riri..."
:"So, what did you want to ask me?"
:"Oh, you spotted that? Well, all right... I don't mind telling you."
:"Truth is, I used to hate Riri. She's an amazing Trainer and athlete—and she's really pretty, too. It took her no time at all to become popular at the academy. I was queen of the class before she came along, but then everyone liked her more than me..."
:"Pretty much. I got our classmates to join in, too... We were all so stupid. But in the end, kids are always fickle—and once one thrill wears off, they look for something new. Before long, the class chose me as their next target and started bullying me instead. I guess I deserved it. But then Riri...she chose to help me even though I'd been so horrible to her. She told me that she understood how hard it is to have no one on your side... And she invited me into Team Star."
:"She really is. And joining the team has worked out great for us. It's been so much fun!"
:"After hearing my story, do you really think that's true?"
:"Riri and the rest of Team Star made me who I am today. Please...don't take away our greatest treasure."
