 Rhi dialogue
1st Part

* Greetings, Pokémon Trainer.
* There appears to be an increased number of Team GO Rocket members in the area.
* I have yet to determine what they are doing here, but I suspect that a scheme of some sort is underway.
* We should investigate before they decide to cause trouble.

2nd Part

* Thank you, Pokémon Trainer. The atmosphere is improved with fewer Team GO Rocket members present.
* One detail still mystifies me. Why do the Pokémon used by Team GO Rocket possess those peculiar auras?
* I see. They become Shadow Pokémon through experimentation and mistreatment.
* So they corrupt a blameless creature, and then they abandon it?
* Their cruelty is unforgiveable.
* I am coming to realize that this group will pursue their goals relentlessly and without conscience.
* We must impede them however we can.
* Come, Pokémon Trainer—let us begin by rescuing some Shadow Pokémon.

3rd Part

* Those poor Pokémon...
* ... ... ...
* Ah—Pokémon Trainer.
* Apologies for my dour demeanor. I cannot stop thinking about the Shadow Pokémon.
* Is there nothing we can do beyond rescuing them from Team GO Rocket? Will they remain in this state forever?
* Hm? You are able to...purify them?
* If doing so removes their ominous aura, I would like nothing more than to observe this phenomenon.
* Will you show me, Pokémon Trainer?

4th Part

* So this is a Purified Pokémon. Its shadowy aura is gone. In its place—radiance.
* You are deserving of praise, Pokémon Trainer. But our efforts cannot end here.
* Perhaps we should turn our attention to Team GO Rocket members of a higher standing.
* If you can defeat their leaders in battle, we may hinder their plans.

5th Part

* Those battles were among the fiercest I have witnessed, Pokémon Trainer. I am fortunate to call you my ally.
* Regrettably, it seems the Team GO Rocket leaders were not inspired to change their ways. They, too, have abandoned their Shadow Pokémon.
* But surely we have at least stalled their plans. Such an expansive organization cannot function without its leaders at full strength.
* Hm? We must still deal with this...Giovanni, is it? I see.
* Then our work is not yet finished, Pokémon Trainer.

6th Part

* That was a fearsome battle, Pokémon Trainer.
* I am dazzled by your capacity to overcome any challenge set before you.
* Please, relish your well-earned victory—but we must remain vigilant. If Team GO Rocket were to manipulate the Ultra Beasts...
* We do not want their villainy to interfere with our endeavors.
* For now, however, I think we can turn our attention back to the Ultra Wormholes.
* So long as they remain open in your world, more Ultra Beasts could appear.
* Though considering the strength you displayed today, perhaps my fear is unnecessary.
* In any case, thank you for allowing me to observe you today. I am pleased we were able to assist so many Pokémon.
* Until again, Pokémon Trainer.
