# 0_1 Hey, VAR(259, 1, 0).
You can choose first. Go ahead.
You know, like, I’m gonna be a man
about it. Yeah, I’m slick.
# 0_2 VAR(259, 0, 0): That Pokémon battle...
Wasn’t that wickedly fun or what?
I mean, I’d pick the moves, and my
Pokémon would use them!
Yeah, I’m going to battle tons and get
real close with Pokémon.
# 0_3 VAR(259, 0, 0): Pokémon all have
different moves, huh?
A Trainer makes his Pokémon battle
by ordering them to use moves.
That’s so awesomely cool.
# 0_4 VAR(259, 0, 0): Do you believe it?
I can hardly believe it.
You and me, we’re Pokémon Trainers all
of a sudden.
Man, we’ve got tons to learn about
being a Trainer.
But seeing this Poké Ball with this
VAR(256, 1, 0) inside...
It makes me feel like I can do anything!
Nothing’s impossible!
# 0_5 VAR(259, 0, 0): That lake has a mirage
Pokémon living in it.
Everyone says it’s just a legend, but
I know I’m right.
# 0_6 VAR(259, 0, 0): Hey, do you know about
the Champion?
There’s this out-of-this-world tough
Trainer who gets called that.
Well, I’m gonna get so tough, the Champ
has to battle me. You watch!
With this little guy here, I’m sure I can
get that tough.
# 0_7 VAR(259, 0, 0): Hey, that’s enough
talking already.
I’m itching to get going to the lake.
Come on, come on!
# 0_8 VAR(259, 0, 0): All right!
Let’s move out! Hustle up!
# 0_12 Cheryl: It’s startling to see two wild
Pokémon appearing at the same time.
# 0_13 Cheryl: My Pokémon is an excellent
healer.
But attacking isn’t its strong point.
# 0_14 Cheryl: VAR(259, 0, 0), battling with
you makes me feel elated.
If I could predict what you’re about
to do, we would make a fierce combo!
# 0_15 Cheryl: That’s some nice moss...
# 0_16 Mira: Are you going to use that?
I will be left all alone...
# 0_17 Mira: Are you going to use that?
I will be left all alone...
# 0_18 Mira: That isn’t the right way.
I’ll be lost if we go down...
# 0_19 Mira: I like helpful Pokémon moves
like Growl and Minimize.
Those kinds of moves are my
favorites.
# 0_20 Mira: This cave...
It’s so easy to get confused here.\fDo you know where we are?
# 0_21 Mira: VAR(259, 0, 0), did you get to be
so good because you’re always with\fyour Pokémon?
Yes! That has to be it!
I will try like you!
# 0_22 Riley: If you use that, I’ll have to
wave good-bye to you now.
# 0_23 Riley: If you use that move, I’ll have
to wave good-bye to you now.
# 0_24 Riley: Haha, I’d have to agree.
People training here would be those
with too much time on their hands.
# 0_25 Riley: This used to be a fairly
thriving ore mine once upon a time.
I guess the steel ore’s played out.
There’s only Pokémon here now.
# 0_26 Riley: Have you met Byron?
The Leader of Canalave Gym?
He’s asked me to become a Gym
Leader, but there’s his son Roark\fto consider as well.
# 0_27 Riley: Imagine what it would be like
for a Steel-type Pokémon user to\fbattle a Steel type.
Would that be like battling yourself,
I wonder?
I mean, it’s a lot harder to defeat
one’s self than anyone else.
# 0_28 Riley: What’s going on here, though?
The native Pokémon are restless...
I don’t like this...
Let’s hurry.
# 0_29 Riley: Thanks.
You really helped me out.
Listen, I have a Pokémon here
named Luca.
Would you take it with you?
# 0_30 Riley: Thanks!
I want you to show Luca all sorts
of worlds.
# 0_31 Riley: Thank you...
But you don’t have room to take
another Pokémon.
All right, then.
I’ll wait here for you.
# 0_32 Riley: I hope you’ll accept it as
a token of our friendship.
# 0_33 Riley: Spending time with you was
very enjoyable.
I intend to test my skills in other
places from now on.
It would be great if we could meet
again.
# 0_34 Marley: ...Are you going to leave
me here?
# 0_35 Marley: ...Are you going to leave
me here?
# 0_36 Marley: ...Sorry, but I’m not
going up.
# 0_37 Marley: ...It isn’t that way.
# 0_38 Marley: ...You’re very chatty...
# 0_39 Marley: ...The Pokémon among
flowers...
# 0_40 Buck: Whoa, VAR(259, 0, 0)!
If you use that, me and my Pokémon
will be left behind. Don’t do it!
# 0_41 Buck: Whoa, VAR(259, 0, 0)!
If you use that, me and my Pokémon
will be left behind. Don’t do it!
# 0_42 Buck: This is where I raised my Pokémon.
I can’t stand the thought of anyone
making a mess of this place.
Especially not those weird Team
Galactic goons!
# 0_43 Buck: There’s no law that says
I have to be tough or anything,\fbut losing isn’t fair to my Pokémon.
After all, they try so hard for me.
I think it’s my responsibility as a
Trainer to recognize their hard work.
# 0_44 Buck: My big brother’s one of the
Elite Four.
So, of course it’s only normal that
I’d be better than ordinary folks.
But that’s not what I want.
I want to be tough on my own terms.
It wouldn’t be fair to the Pokémon
that chose to be with me.
# 0_45 Buck: It might be cool being a Gym
Leader or one of the Elite Four...
But, then again, it sounds like it’d
be a lot of hard work!
