Naoko

• Before battle

"You have lovely Pokémon. May I see them in battle?"

• Being defeated

"Oh, you are very strong."

• After being defeated

"I enjoyed that bout. I would like to see you again."

Sayo

• Before battle

"I always dance with my Pokémon. Of course, I also train them."

• Being defeated

"Oh, so close! I almost had you."

• After being defeated

"Rhythm is important for both dancing and Pokémon."

Zuki

• Before battle

"Isn't my barrette pretty? Oh. A Pokémon Battle?"

• Being defeated

"I don’t have any Pokémon left..."

• After being defeated

"I put a different flower in my barrette every month."

Kuni

• Before battle

"Oh, you're a cute trainer. Would you like to battle?"

• Being defeated

"You’re stronger than you look."

• After being defeated

"I trained a lot, so I thought I was capable trainer. I guess I'm not."

Miki

• Before battle

"Do you like my dancing? I'm good at Pokémon too."

• Being defeated

"Ooh, you're good at Pokémon too."

• After being defeated

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

Zuki

Violet City

"Me oh my... That Egg must be..."

"I see... So it was handed from Mr. Pokémon to Professor Elm, then from Professor Elm to you. Now I get it..."

"That Egg truly is an important Egg. Please do take good care of it for me. Is that understood?"

"I am counting on you."

Kimono Dance Theater

• Before battle

"Welcome. My name is Zuki. I met you previously in Violet City. In order to bring back Ho-Oh^HG/Lugia^SS, we needed someone with the right bond with Pokémon. We asked Mr. Pokémon to give this Mystery Egg to whoever showed true potential. The Egg was eventually handed from Mr Pokémon to Professor Elm, and then to you. However, being pure alone will not be sufficient to face the power of this Pokémon. I must test you. Are you ready?"

No: "That is fine... I will wait for you to get ready."

Yes: "I will test how closely you've bonded with your Pokémon!"

• Being defeated

"I don't have any Pokémon left."

• After defeating all Kimono Girls

"We were not wrong about you. You are indeed worthy of this... Please take it."

"<player>! We'll be at the Bell Tower^HG/Whirl Islands^SS. See you there!"

• After battling Ho-Oh^HG/Lugia^SS

"Thank you for your help the other day. You have beautifully proven that the bond between people can be extended to the bond between people and Pokémon... We all appreciate that you have lived up to our expectations, <player>! If you feel that this experience has taught you anything, the people you should thank are not us, but Mr. Pokémon and Professor Elm..."

Bell Tower^HG

• Before summoning Ho-Oh

"Yes, this is where we welcome Ho-Oh. When the dance we practiced for many days becomes one with the sound of the Clear Bell we entrusted to you, then Ho-Oh shall come down from the great arch of the sky once again!"

• After summoning Ho-Oh

"That IS indeed Ho-Oh... The guardian of the sky around here from ancient times... So many have tried and tried, only to fail... <player>, your heart and the Clear Bell in harmony have finally made it appear..."

"<player>, don't you see? Ho-Oh must have been waiting for someone like you all this time. Wouldn't you agree...?"

• If the player has not battled Ho-Oh

"This is all we can do for you... What you do now is entirely up to you..."

• If the player catches Ho-Oh

"You have not only made Ho-Oh appear, but you have also caught it... You are so wonderful. There is nothing more for us to say. Take good care of yourself in your journey..."

• If the player defeats Ho-Oh

"If that is what you believe, we will not try to convince you otherwise. Still, if you want to see Ho-Oh once more, perhaps you can come back here after everything has been settled..."

• If the player flees from Ho-Oh

"I think when you turn your back to it, Ho-Oh will not come back for some time... If you want to see Ho-Oh, perhaps you can come back here after everything has been settled...

Whirl Islands^SS

• Before summoning Lugia

"That's right. This is where we welcome Lugia. When the dance we practiced many days becomes one with the sound of the Tidal Bell we entrusted with you, then Lugia shall come out from deep within the waterfall basin once again!"

• After summoning Lugia

"That is indeed Lugia... The guardian of these islands from ancient times... So many have tried again and again, only to fail... <player>, your heart in complete harmony with the Tidal Bell has finally allowed it to appear..."

"<player>, don't you see? Lugia... It must have been waiting for someone like you all this time. Wouldn't you agree...?"

• If the player has not battled Lugia

"This is all we can do for you... What you do now is entirely up to you..."

• If the player catches Lugia

"You have not only made Lugia appear, but you also caught it... You are so wonderful. There is nothing more for us to say. Take good care of yourself in your journey..."

• If the player defeats Lugia

"If that is what you believe, we will not try to convince you otherwise. Still, if you wish to see Lugia once more, perhaps you can come back here after all has been settled..."

• If the player flees from Lugia

"I think once you turn your back to it, Lugia will not come back for some time... If you want to see Lugia, perhaps you can come back here after all has been settled..."

Naoko

Ilex Forest

"Kimono Girl, Kimono Girl, lost and all alone. Poor girl lost in the dark Ilex Forest."

"What? You remember me from Violet City? You must be imagining. Anyway, will you show me how to get out of this forest?"

No: "Me oh my... You are lost yourself, aren't you?"

Yes: "You will...? Aren't you lost in the forest as well? How do you know how to get out of here?"

"Wow! Are you going to show me how to get out? You are such a smart Pokémon!"

"See you."

Kimono Dance Theater

• Before battle

"You are quite strong. You helped me in the Ilex Forest. My name is Naoko. I'm the one that's not so good at directions. My eyes witnessed you defeating Team Rocket when Kurt was in trouble at the Slowpoke Well. Allow me to challenge you and your Pokémon!"

• Being defeated

"Oh, you are truly strong."

• After battling Ho-Oh^HG/Lugia^SS

"Thank you for your help the other day.

Miki

Kimono Dance Theater (first visit)

"...You mustn't push such a request on me."

"..."

"You must be <player>, correct? That was indeed excellent. Kind and strong... Good at raising Pokémon as well... That person does know what to look for in people... Ohoho! That was just me talking to myself. Never mind."

"For Kimono Girls like me, dancing is everything. I have never gone a day without a dance practice. Pokémon are the same. They grow with you little by little each day."

Kimono Dance Theater (after earning the Rising Badge)

• Before battle

"You are quite the Trainer. I remember you chasing off that Team Rocket Grunt from right here. I must thank you for that. Although, I am actually a Trainer myself. She who knows the most speaks the least! I am Miki--the Kimono Girl! Allow me to challenge you and your Pokémon!"

• Being defeated

"Ooh, you're good at Pokémon, too."

Sayo

Ice Path

"Me oh my... Is that you, <player>? Fancy meeting you here! To tell the truth...my sandals are frozen on the ice, and I am stuck here. In other words, my flip-flops are quick-frozen to the ground. Tee hee. Well, it's no laughing matter. Would you push my back?/Would you come around and push my back?"

No: "Don't be so cruel. You will push my back, won't you?"

Yes: (after shoving her free) "You really are kind. Thank you so much!"

Kimono Dance Theater

• Before battle

"Excellent fighting spirit! You got me off the ice by pushing me from the back. I am the one who skates in sandals. I am Sayo--the Kimono Girl! I was listening in the Dragon's Den when you passed the test of the Elder. Allow me to challenge you and your Pokémon!"

• Being defeated

"Oh, so close! I almost had you."

• After battling Ho-Oh^HG/Lugia^SS

"We are rehearsing a dance."

"You've done a great job. Say hello to Professor Elm for us."

Kuni

Goldenrod Tunnel

"Team Rocket members in black suits have been running around... I was wondering what was going on. So, you took on Team Rocket? You are impressive! You may be able to face the legendary Poké..."

"Hahaha! Never mind. I must go now."

Kimono Dance Theater

• Before battle

"I am the last one. You were so dependable at the Goldenrod Tunnel. I am the one who twirls even underground. I am Kuni--the Kimono Girl! I looked at you in wonder when you thwarted Team Rocket's mission to take over the Radio Tower. You must show your strength to me now. Allow me to challenge you and your Pokémon!"
