Advanced League Dialogue

After returning to Othlon after beating the Advanced League tryouts

* *Receptionist*: Congratulations on passing the tryouts! And you're defeated some tough contenders to do so, which is all the more impressive!
* *Receptionist*:: The format is the same as the Rookie League, but this time you will fight **5 battles** instead of three.
* *Receptionist*:: The Advanced League will be held in Urdwel Arena. Good luck on your match tomorrow!
* --As you leave the Trainer Alliance Headquarters, you run into Makisa.
* *Makisa*:: Hey! So you got into the Advanced League too? I'll be looking forward to fighting against your team again.
* *Makisa*:: ...You don't look too happy.What's wrong?
* --You describe your encounter with Thale, and his vendetta against your uncle.
* *Makisa*:: ...So you did run into that jerk. Well, good job beating him, serves him right!
* *Makisa*:: Don't worry. Hector Finnegan wasn't a man to wrong anyone intentionally. I have full faith in his innocence.
* *Makisa*:: ...You don't seem convinced. Let me tell you a little story then.....
* *Makisa*:: ...When I was much younger, a fire broke out in my home.
* *Makisa*:: My parents and I got out safely, but my pet monster was still inside.
* *Makisa*:: I managed to escape my parents' grip and ran back in to rescue my friend.
* *Makisa*:: I found him soon enough... But then the house began to collapse. I thought this was the end.....
* *Makisa*:: That's when a trainer came to my rescue, bursting into the burning building with one of his monsters. He quickly got us out!
* *Makisa*:: my parents scolded me for my foolishness. But my rescuer actually praised me. He said I'd make a great trainer.
* *Makisa*:: That man was Hector.....

Before first league battle

* *Yulina*: I saw you fighting in a Rookie League match. I was quite impressed by your team's performance!
* *Yulina*:: Still, I didn't expect to see you here so soon.....this is going to be a tough battle, isn't it?

After winning first league battle

* *Yulina*: ....You'll go far in the Monster Leagues, I can tell.

* --Walking home, you encounter Makisa.
* *Makisa*:: How did your first Advanced League match go?
* --The two of you walk together, sharing your experiences in the new league. Then, Makisa sees a crowd of people up ahead.
* *Makisa*:: I wonder what that's about... Let's check it out.
* --An audience has gathered around a man with a lyre.
* *Bard*:: Gather round, gather round! Come hear the legend of the Hero, the glorious tale of our Empire's birth!
* *Makisa*:: It's a traveling bard! This ought to be interesting.....
* *Bard*:: Long, long ago, the islands of the Empire were still separate nations, with separate peoples.
* *Bard*:: This was an age of grandeur for humanity, who had attained a level of prosperity and knowledge far beyond our wildest dreams!
* *Bard*:: ......But then, the First Ones awoke from their long slumber!
* *Bard*:: Emerging from lairs deep underground, these terrible titians laid waste to humanity and all it had created.
* *Bard*:: Nations were razed, cities reduced to ashes, and many people died. All seemed lost......
* *Bard*:: This was when one brave soul stood up to save humanity--the legendary Hero!
* *Bard*:: He went from island to island, gathering monsters to create the most powerful team ever seen.
* *Bard*:: With his monsters, the Hero faced each First One in deadly combat. Each battle was brutal, but our Hero persevered!
* *Bard*:: Eventuall, he was able to defeat every single First One--even their leader, Atrahasis!
* *Bard*:: The Hero sealed them all somewhere deep underground, and the First Ones have slept there ever since...
* *Bard*:: But the Hero's task was far from over. He united the surviving peoples under his leadership to begin rebuilding their world.
* *Bard*:: From the ruins of the previous nations, he forged an empire... the Empire of Verosia!
* *Bard*:: Thus the Hero became our first Emperor. Under the guidance of the Hero and his dynasty, the Empire has prospered to this day.
* *Bard*:: And that, dear audience, is the legend of our first Emperor, Leonitus Gaius Veros I.
* --The bard bows as the audience applaudes.
* *Makisa*:: Bravo! That was pretty good, don't you think?
* *Makisa*:: Is the story true? Of course not! It's just a myth to emphasize the greatness of our First Emperor.
* *Makisa*:: There's no such thing as the First Ones. They're just stories parents tell to scare their kids.
* *Makisa*:: My dad would tell me how Atrahasis would come for me if I misbehaved. It used to frighten me witless!

Before second league battle

* *Kevir*: ...Young trainer, are you a relative of Hector Finnegan?
* *Kevir*:: I thought so. You look a lot like him. Let us see if you can fight like him!

After winning second league battle

* *Kevir*: This was a good battle, like my battles with Hector years ago. It's a pity he insisted on moving up in the leagues.
* *Kevir*:: In my humble opinion, becoming the Grand Champion is... overrated, shall we say?
* *Kevir*:: Follow in Hector's footsteps if you want, but you should never forget what happened to him......

Before third league battle

* *Makisa*: Hey there, rival! Hope you're ready to lose today....
* *Makisa*:: A friend of mine is watching today's match. I'm not about to let her see my team getting defeated!

After winning third league battle

* *Makisa*: Awww, I was hoping to show off to my friend...
* *Makisa*:: Of course, I didn't really expect you would give me an easy time.

* --Leaving the arena, you see Makisa talking to someone.
* *????*:: Too bad about today's match. The enemy team really hammered your monsters.
* *Makisa*:: Well, my opponent wasn't your average trainer. I wouldn't be surprised if this team takes first place...
* *Makisa*:: Speaking of which, here comes my rival!
* *Makisa*:: Thanks for another great match! Let me introduce you to my friend Emsara.
* *Emsara*:: Hello, nice to meet you. I watched your battle today. It was quite spectacular! Emsara's family runs a bakery in downtown Othlon. You should check it out, it's the best in the city.
* *Makisa*:: Even the Dowager Empress occasionally sends someone to buy pastries there!
* *Emsara*:: Makisa, that's just a rumor.
* *Emsara*:: I take pride in my family's business, but I can't guarantee it lives up to Makisa's flattery.
* *Makisa*:: Emsara, this trainer is actually related to Hector Finnegan. I have Hector's successor as a rival!
* *Emsara*:: Hector's successor......?
* *Makisa*:: That's right. This trainer is trying to redeem Hector's legacy.
* *Emsara*:: I see......I wish you success. I really do.

Before fourth league battle

* *Satara*: Pssst! Hey, take a look at the seats behind you.
* --You scan the audience.
* *????*:: .........
* --Sitting alone directly behind you is a tall and stern-faced man, gazing coldly at the arena.
* *Satara*:: That's Beritus Argvel, the Grand Champion himself, the greatest trainer alive!
* *Satara*:: I wonder why he's watching some lowly Advanced League match. Maybe he's here to see me fight!

After winning fourth league battle

* *Satara*: Maybe the Grand Champion had come to watch you.....

Before fifth league battle

* *Thale*: Hmph! We meet again, just as I had hoped! I will avenge my previous defeat here and now!
* *Thale*:: But I seek more than just payback. I'll do my best to keep you from progressing in the leagues...
* *Thale*:: Hector Finnegan's successor does not deserve to go any further than this!
* *Referee*:: Trainers, please summon and ready your monsters. Referee: Ready? FIGHT!

After winning fifth league battle

* *Thale*:: Defeated again!? My team was fighting at full strength this time.
* *Thale*:: I have no excuses for this loss...is Hector's successor my superior?
* *Thale*:: ......All the better. When I finally defeat you, it will be all the more satisfying!

After results screen

* *Referee*: Congratulations to the top two teams of this season!
* *Referee*:: These teams have earned a spot in the tryouts for the next stage, the **Elite League**!
* *Referee*:: The tryouts will take place on the Tropical Isles. Each winning team will be given a free travel pass to go there!
* *Referee*:: Like the previous one on the Desert Island, you are to **defeat 4 other trainers**. Spare no effort in finding opponents.
* *Referee*:: Here is a map of the Tropical Isles, marked with the locations you'll likely find other participants. Take a careful look!
* *Referee*: For the Elite League and beyond, you can have up to **16** monsters in your team.
* *Referee*:: We look forward to your continued success!
* --Makisa greets you at the exit.
* *Makisa*:: Congratulations on advancing to the Elite League Tryouts!
* *Makisa*:: I feel happy for you, but I'm a bit sad you're leaving me behind.
* *Makisa*:: This won't be the last you'll see of me though. I'll catch up with you, just you wait!
* *Makisa*:: ...I need to become the Grand Champion. I can't afford to stay stuck in this lowly league.....
