Main Story

Lumiose City

Sycamore's Lab

Lysandre: So, I will be able to meet them soon, then.

Woman: Yes.

Lysandre: The children chosen by the professor... I wonder what potential they have.

Woman: And here’s one of them now... That’s [player]. [player], come here a sec!

[player arrives]

Lysandre: Oh! You received a Pokédex from the professor then... How wonderful! That is a wonderful thing, indeed. You are one of the chosen ones. I am Lysandre. I’ve tried to learn as much about Pokémon as I can to help build a brighter future. Professor Sycamore has taught me so much. Oh, I see you have a Holo Caster! Knowledge is power, after all. Put it to good use. Now listen! It is vital that this world become a better place. And the people and Pokémon chosen to make the world better must work tirelessly to achieve this goal.
[turns to woman] Well, I’ll be off. Please give Professor Sycamore my best.
[looks off into the middle distance] My desire...it is for a more beautiful world! [he walks off]

Woman: Still... I wonder what kind of beautiful world Lysandre desires...

Serena: Oh, it’s Lysandre and... Is that Diantha? Just so you know, neighbor, Lysandre is the head of Lysandre Labs, which created the Holo Caster, a video-messaging device. You already know who Diantha is, right? She is one of the most famous movie stars in the world, after all. I wonder what the two of them are doing here together.

Calem: Oh, it’s Lysandre and... Is that Diantha? So get this, neighbor, Lysandre is the head of Lysandre Labs, which created the Holo Caster, a video-messaging device. You already know about Diantha, right? She is one of the most famous movie stars in the world, after all. I wonder what the two of them are doing here together.

Lysandre: You played a young girl so wonderfully in your debut on the silver screen. Wouldn’t you rather remain young and beautiful forever and always play such roles?

Diantha: What a strange question... Why would I want to play the same old roles forever? Youth may be beautiful, but it’s not all there is to life. Everything changes. I want to live and change like that, too. So I look forward to playing different roles as I get older.

Lysandre: You were chosen to be a movie star, correct? Isn’t it your duty to be ever beautiful?

Lysandre: (X) Everything beautiful should stay that way forever. I would make this world unchanging and eternal so all beauty will last forever. I can’t stand the thought of the world becoming uglier.

Lysandre: (Y) Everything beautiful should stay that way forever. I would end the world in an instant so that beauty never fades. I can’t stand the thought of the world becoming uglier.
[turns to you] Oh. Hello, [nickname]. This is Diantha, one of the most accomplished movie stars in Kalos. She moves the multitudes with her excellent acting... Which is to say, she dedicates her life to making other people happy. Oh! If only everyone were like her-- what a beautiful world this would be! If you’ll excuse me. [leaves]

Diantha: And who are you two?

Serena: My name is Serena, and this is...

Calem: I’m Calem. It’s a pleasure. This is...

Diantha: [player], right? I heard Lysandre call you that. You both have lovely names. Oh, and you’re both Trainers! Don’t your Pokémon look happy? I’m a Trainer myself, in my off time. I look forward to us battling someday! [walks off]

Blond man: I want to see Diantha’s movie! The one where she travels with Pokémon!

Woman: I heard Lysandre’s gathering young people for society’s sake.

Camphrier Town

Holo Clip received!
Lysandre Labs developed the Holo Caster to make the lives of Pokemon Trainers richer, and more convenient. We hope you'll continue to enjoy the fine services this device provides.

Woman: Are red suits the new hot trend?

Woman: The old manor lord was very generous. He was very different from the king who lived in the palace.

Shabboneau Castle

Black belt: An acquaintance of yours? Two visitors to Shabboneau Castle? I can’t remember the last time we’ve been so busy! This castle, chateau if you will, was a manor house of a noble family.
It may be a little run down, but that’s because there’s history to this place.
During that history, the owners of this castle gave away a lot of their stuff to everyone, so that’s why it feels so empty. The end.

Shauna: That’s it?! Don’t you have anything related to Mega Evolution?

Black belt: [?] That’s it. What in the world is Mega Evolution?

Shauna: ...

Blond man: Sir! It’s back again.

Black belt: Is it that time of year already? Well, there’s nothing I can do about that now... I need to go to Route 7, but please take your time and have a look around. [leaves with blond man]

Shauna: I wonder what that’s about. Why don’t we go to Route 7, too?

Black belt: Here we go again. It’s sleeping so soundly, the end of the world wouldn’t wake it.

Blond man: Look! It’s practically a mountain, right? It’s blocking the road completely. Come now, sir. Use the Poké Flute! Oh, wait... Do you even have it anymore?

Black belt: Nope. I handed it over.

Blond man: Or you could say it was taken... By the owner of the palace.

Shauna: What? Huh? What’s a Poké Flute?

Black belt: [!] Basically, the Poké Flute is what we need to wake up Snorlax. But the Poké Flute is currently at Parfum Palace.

Girl rival: Oh, that’s it? All we need to do is go get it, then! ♪ C’mon, [nickname]! Let’s go! ♪ The Parfum Palace is just past Route 6! And maybe at a place like that, we might learn something about Mega Evolution!

Description: There is a large Pokémon sleeping peacefully. It looks so content!

Guard: The entrance fee will be $1,000 per person.

Girl rival: You’ve got to be kidding! It costs money to go inside?

Guard: You see, the owner of the palace follows the school of thought that you can never have too much money.

Girl rival: Yeesh! This is how the rich get richer! Here’s your entrance fee: $1,000!

Guard: The proceeds from the entrance fee help pay for repairing and restoring the palace. Probably...

Guard: [if you don't have money] Why, I never! You don’t even have $1,000? Well, I suppose I can still let you in... Just act natural and don’t arouse suspicion. Pass through the gate like you belong here.

Inside the palace

Man: Where is it? Where could it be?! My Furfrou! My beloved little Furfrou has disappeared! This! Even after I told it not to go outside and get its feet dirty!

Girl rival: It disappeared? Hey, [nickname]! We should help look! I mean, if my... If my Pokémon was missing, I’d be sick with worry!

Servant: Past this door is the pride and joy of the palace--the too-vast courtyard. You can see the whole garden from the balcony on the second floor.

Woman: This palace was built after Kalos won a war with neighboring regions. I’ll bet a lot of people and Pokémon lost their lives...

Woman: I heard of a king from long ago whose garden was his pride and joy. He’d gather the castle folk and hold garden parties!

Backpacker: Don’t try to sleep in the king’s bed. It’s ir-regal! Ha ha! Hey! Are you trying to use Mean Look on me?

Backpacker: What’s special about this place isn’t just the beauty of the architecture itself. It’s about how the paintings and sculptures work in harmony with the surroundings.

Backpacker: You need a pretty amazing king to build a palace like this.

Balding man: The person who made this palace must have been very admirable. This entire building has such an elegant, classy atmosphere.

NPC: I wonder what the king of the Kalos region thought about Pokémon.

Cook: For the owner of this palace, every meal is a feast. If you’ve never known anything else, a meal like that seems completely normal.

Chef: I think it would be so much better if he had a lively dinner with everyone, instead of a full-course meal alone.

Maid: This room was once completely adorned with all manner of gold and silver works, jewels, and medals!

Man: This room used to serve as a waiting room for Pokémon before they were brought out for a battle.

Kid: You mean Pokémon just waited here calmly? Pokémon are so funny!

Description of a painting showing a family: “The Glorious Past”

Painting showing two roses?: “The Brilliant Future”

Man: I heard that a forbidden tome once existed that contained the secret to bringing Pokémon back to life. It’s probably just a rumor, though. We’ve certainly got nothing of the sort in our library!

Description: Various books about Pokémon, science, and geography line the shelves.

Description: There’s a book called “The Transforming Pokémon and the Mysterious Stone” on the shelf. It’s about a certain incident that occurred in Shalour City. Something about a Pokémon that changes its form at the beginning of a battle. The person next to the Pokémon is holding a mysterious stone... Could that have something to do with it?

There’s a portrait of someone on the wall. Perhaps it’s the king who built the palace? [after meeting AZ] It somehow reminds you of AZ...

Maid: Long ago, the king and his Pokémon would enjoy their meals at this table.

Maid: It’s said that kings of ancient times would use Pokémon as sentries! I’d bet they used Pokémon with the Insomnia Ability since they’d never have to sleep!

Minstrel: I am a traveling minstrel, wandering the world. Please listen to my song and hear my words... The Kalos region, now upheld as fair, From ancient days an ugly past doth bear. The woes of war did knock on every door, Till man nor Pokémon could take no more, Three thousand years ago, upon this shore.
So many lives were lost--both man and ’mon. It seemed a night that ne’er would bring dawn. No beauty, no joy in those days of yore. Only the pain of parting was in store For victims of the ancient Kalos war.
Man’s grief brought the end, the land did tear, Wartime finished in a lightning flare. ’Mon’s rage brought the end, a furious roar. Lightning crackled forth to end the war-- Kalos’s long pain was then no more.
One man, through it all, lives ever on. To a Pokémon once lost, he’s ever drawn. One man, through it all, lives ever on. Searching for his heart, long lost and gone.
[this is revealed throughout the game]
Would you care to listen on... to the completion of my song?
The Kalos region, now upheld as fair, From ancient days an ugly past doth bear. The woes of war did knock on every door, Till man nor Pokémon could take no more, Three thousand years ago, upon this shore. So many lives were lost--both man and ’mon. It seemed a night that ne’er would bring dawn. No beauty, no joy in those days of yore. Only the pain of parting was in store For victims of the ancient Kalos war. Man’s grief brought the end, the land did tear, Wartime finished in a lightning flare. ’Mon’s rage brought the end, a furious roar, Lightning crackled forth to end the war-- Kalos’s long pain was then no more. One man, through it all, lives ever on. To a Pokémon once lost, he’s ever drawn. One man, through it all, lives ever on. Searching for his heart, long lost and gone. At last his labors brought end to his chore. Bountiful kindness from his heart did pour, His Pokémon to part with nevermore.
It pleases me to know that you were pleased by my song, sir/miss.

Maid: Just because the parents were great, it surely does not mean that their children will also be great. In fact, the opposite is often true!

Chef: The owner of this palace only inherited it, you know. It’s not as though he earned it.

Garden

Man: The Kalos region and the Unova region must have been in contact with each other.

Woman: The Pokémon statue near the entrance is Reshiram, and this statue is Zekrom. They’re both Legendary Pokémon of the Unova region.

Man: I heard in the past, the king would invite everyone to the garden for parties.

Maid: The king who built this palace ruled the entire Kalos region all on his own, just like an ancient king from 3,000 years ago.

Man: I heard an ancient king made rules about when to view this garden. Didn’t he have anything better to make rules about?

NPC: I wonder how many people and Pokémon it takes to make a garden this big!

Old woman: Parfum Palace is a palace among palaces! You could say it’s the king of palaces, the premier palace!

Description: It’s a statue of Reshiram--the Pokémon that helps those who seek to build a world of truth.

Description: It’s a statue of Zekrom--the Pokémon that assists those who seek to make an ideal world.

Description: It’s a statue of a Poké Ball added in a later era.

Man: [after you retrieve Furfrou] Sigh... The Poké Flute, huh...
Go get it.
It was Shabboneau Castle’s treasure, but I took it as payment for a loan. A rich guy like me and a common person like that just didn’t go together.

Glimmering Cave

Flare Grunt (m): [zoom in] What's this? [walks forward] Well, well. What do we have here? A nosy little Trainer has come poking around. Listen up! We’re the fashionable team whose very name makes people tremble in fear: Team Flare!
Team Flare’s goal is to make it so we’re the only ones who are happy! We don’t care one bit about what happens to other Trainers or Pokémon.
Get out of here, kid. Don’t you know not to play with fire?
[if yes] So don’t! It doesn’t really matter though. Someday everyone not in Team Flare is going to get burned anyway. [walks a few steps away]
[if talked to again after saying yes] I feel like a broken record. You’re in the way. Don’t you know not to pick fights?
[if no] Getting my fancy suit dirty isn’t the stylish way to do things, but if you insist... I’ll obliterate you! Get him/her, Houndour!
[after defeat] You may have beaten me, but when I lose, I go out in style!
[after battle] What’s this? You’re a pretty tough Pokémon Trainer, for a kid. But watch yourself! I’m not the only member of Team Flare.
[talk again] Team Flare is awesome and for winners! It’s stylish and awesome!

Flare Grunt (f): We’re gonna take everyone else down so we can do what WE want!
[after defeat] Hey! You weren’t supposed to beat me!
[after battle] You should keep your nose out of adults’ business, kid!

Flare Grunt (m): We’re Team Flare! We put the fashion into fear!

Flare Grunt (f): We were looking for Fossils but discovered a kid!

Serena: [player]. There are two members of Team Flare... Well then, are you ready to team up and battle them?
[if no] Need to get ready? OK! I’ll be waiting.
[if yes] I just fought with another one of these Team Flare guys.
If you just want to make people in Team Flare happy, why don’t you just do that? But if you’re going to go around threatening other people, we won’t let you get away with it!

Calem: So, there are two members of Team Flare this time... Are you ready to battle alongside me, neighbor?
[if no] You have to prepare? Got it!
[if yes] I just fought with another one of these Team Flare guys.
If you’re just trying to make yourselves happy, I won’t stop you. But when you threaten people, it’s like who do you think you are, anyway?

Flare Grunt (m): [after defeat] Go, go, Team Flare! ...Oh, I lost? I guess I’ll stop cheering now.

Flare Grunt (f): You’ve made me so sad! I think I’m gonna cry!

Flare Grunt (m): [after battle] Oh man! My favorite, fashionable Team Flare suit is filthy!

Flare Frunt (f): [after battle] If we can restore Fossils, we can make some good money!

Serena: I’m a Trainer! Protecting my partners is what I do... Come on, let’s go look for that researcher from the Fossil Lab.

Calem: I’m a Pokémon Trainer. Protecting Pokémon is what I do. C’mon, let’s go look for that researcher from the Fossil Lab.

Serena: Did you find him?

Calem: Is he there?

Researcher: Why, hello! Here to look for Fossils as well?

Serena: Are you OK? Did Team Flare come here?

Calem: Was Team Flare here?

Researcher: Teemphlair? What’s that? A Pokémon?

Serena: Don’t worry about it. It looks like he was completely absorbed in looking for Fossils...

Calem: Never mind... Guess he was so absorbed with looking for Fossils, he didn’t notice.

[after selecting your fossil]

Serena: Well, we went looking for the assistant, and we found that suspicious group called Team Flare as well... I guess I should train more so I can travel safely with those Team Flare people running around. In that case, I guess the best thing to do would be challenge the Cyllage City Gym.

Calem: So, we went looking for the assistant, and we found that suspicious group called Team Flare as well... Still, with those Team Flare people running around, it would be better to train more so I can travel safely. I guess the best thing to do to get tougher is challenge the Cyllage City Gym.

Cyllage City

Woman: Oh! You have a Holo Caster! The Holo Caster was developed by Lysandre’s lab, wasn’t it?

Route 10

Backpacker: A few years back, this really strange dude named Colress told me that these big stones emit some kind of special energy.

Boy: I want to find out what these stones have to do with the energy levels in this area.

Flare Grunt (m): Stop right there! I remember you! You’re the one who foiled our Fossil-finding plans! And now you’re here, standing around these stones. Do you have any idea what they even are? Of course you don’t! You know nothing about the legend of 3,000 years ago that says... Wait, what does it say? Oh, whatever! Who cares about all of that? It’s time for me to get some sweet revenge...with style!
[after defeat] You may have beaten me...again. But when I lose, I go out in style!
[after battle] What the... How could I lose again to a little punk like you? What are you, some kind of Trainer prodigy or something? [! Turns around] I see... ... ... ... Roger that! [turns around] Heh. Gotta love the Holo Caster! I can get updates on my mission in real time with this stylish device! Whoever thought this thing up must have been one truly stylish individual, too! And on that note, it’s time for me to scram... with style!

Flare Grunt (f): Can’t you see we adults are busy? Don’t interrupt our work, kid!
[after defeat] Well, if that’s how you’re going to be, I’ll just stop working! Harrumph!
[after battle] Is discovering the secrets of these stones really a job for adults?

Flare Grunt (f): You inspect the stones... I inspect YOU!
[after defeat] As a result of my inspection, I can tell that you’re stronger than I am!
[after battle] Strong you may be, but this stylish Team Flare suit would simply not look good on you.

Geosenge Town

Man: Nothing but rocks here, you say? Non, non! You don’t get it. This town has nothing else, so it’s obvious how amazing the stones are!

Tour guide: [if you arrive before defeating Grant] And in conclusion... The stones on Route 10 are lined up so they connect to Geosenge Town. Cyllage City’s Gym Leader, Grant, is researching them, but much about these stones remains unknown.

Backpacker: [if you arrive before defeating Grant] Arranging so many stones like that is really impressive. People were amazing 3,000 years ago.

Man: These big stones are pretty resistant to weathering, which has made them a symbol of the eternal for many people. Lots of folks even think the stones possess some kind of mysterious power.

Old man: Someone wandering for 3,000 years trying to find a Pokémon... I’ve heard a story about a man like that, but you can’t believe everything you hear.

Woman: Did you come here to see the big stones with your Pokémon? Maybe you’ll get lucky, and the stones will impart some of their power to your Pokémon!

Flare Grunt (m): Geosenge Town is the town of stones! ♪ [walks off]

Flare Grunt (m): [near the ancient artifact] Hear this, pip-squeak! Team Flare is gonna use the stones on Route 10 and a fantastic treasure to make everyone on our team happy! In this world, the ones who have power are the ones who win with flair!

Calem/Serena: [nickname], was someone from Team Flare here just now?

Serena: [if yes] He was here... But he isn’t anymore, is he? And the only thing past here is a dead end... There’s something very weird about Team Flare...

Calem: [if yes] You said he was here... But he isn’t anymore, is he? There’s only a dead end up ahead... I wonder where that Team Flare guy went...

Serena: [if no] You don’t need to protect me! I chased a Team Flare Grunt here. But the only thing past here is a dead end... There’s something very weird about Team Flare...

Calem: [if no] You don’t have to worry about me. I chased a Team Flare Grunt here. But there’s only a dead end up ahead... I wonder where that Team Flare guy went...

Description: It's an ancient artifact?

Shalour City

Black Belt: I was invited out the other day by a friend who recently joined up with Team Flare. He just kept going on about how only Team Flare had a future to look forward to...

Black Belt: [after defeating team Flare] Team Flare, huh? They stashed tons of cash and food and stuff in their secret HQ. That’s what my friend who joined up with Team Flare told me, anyhow...

Woman: There’s always the Holo Caster when you want to check the latest news!

Punk: Eternal life, huh... It probably seems nice at first glance, but I’d definitely get bored with it!

Coumarine City

Worker: What’s going on at the Kalos Power Plant? I heard the electricity for Lumiose City is getting lower than usual.

Old man: Some gang of goons calling themselves Team Flare is out and about causing a bit of a ruckus. No good could possibly come from associating with such delinquents!

Old man: [after game?] I should have looked into Team Flare more... Those who remain ignorant are more easily manipulated by villains.

Sycamore: It’s only a hypothesis, but I think the bond between Pokémon and Trainer is the key to this new Evolution. But what is this bond, exactly? And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the Kalos region? There’s still so much we don’t know...

Diantha: Does this make you think of something like Kalos’s Legendary Pokémon? Found only here in the Kalos region, right? Nowhere else? Maybe that’s not a coincidence.

Sycamore: Oh! What an excellent point! Indeed!

Child: The legends of Kalos say the Legendary Pokémon is in a deep, deep sleep. That’s why there aren’t many stories about it.

Holo Clip received!

Lysandre: Professor Sycamore told me you can now wield Mega Evolution. That is truly wonderful. With that power, you can steer your future in a better direction! We can’t just cover up the old filth with new filth! I implore you to consider what we need to do to change the world into a new, beautiful world!

Route 13

Scientist (f): I need to get to Lumiose City, but the gate is closed due to a power outage... How could a power outage happen, anyway? I mean, the Kalos Power Plant is right there on Route 13!
[after defeating Team Flare] Team Flare was stealing the energy created by Pokémon? What a terrible bunch of thugs they are!

Sycamore's Assistant: Ha! Just kidding, Trainer! We weren’t really waiting for you. We were on our way to the Power Plant at Professor Sycamore’s request. But the gate connecting Lumiose City to Route 13 has been shut by a mysterious power outage. We have to investigate.

Scientist (m): Those Team Flare people in those red suits... Nobody who’s worth anything hangs out with a group wearing garish outfits like that.

Flare Grunt (m): [if you have less than four badges] I’m stylishly looking for something so I can join the mission at the Power Plant. If you want me to lend a stylish ear, come back when you have four Badges!

Flare Grunt (m): I’m a member of the stylish Team Flare, and I’m gonna win in style!
[after defeat] You may have beaten me...again and again. But like I always say, when I lose, I go out in style!
[after battle] [takes a step back] And now, I’ll stylishly run away!
[?] Huh?
[!] Where’s my Power Plant Pass?!
[turns south] Oh no! D-did I drop my Power Plant Pass somewhere? I know what to do! I’ll make a stylish deduction! I must’ve dropped it when I was feeling around that boulder nine steps east of where I’m standing. If I only had a Dowsing Machine, then I could find it with style!

[talk again] This is stylishly bad! If someone found the Power Plant Pass I dropped while I was fumbling around by the big rock... and then that hypothetical someone proceeded to the Power Plant just past here... That would be seriously, stylishly a hot mess!

Kalos Power Plant

Flare Grunt (m): Knock, knock. Who’s there? [camera pans to grunt as he walks down]
Knock, knock. Who you?
Knock, knock. You who?
Knock, knock... Knock, knock, knock, knock...
Me who? You, too?
[pause] Seriously, though. Who are you? Only authorized personnel are allowed in here!
[after defeat] I’ll ask you again... Just who are you?
[after battle] Who do you think you are? Team Flare is busy...redirecting...the power that’s supposed to go to Lumiose City, see? Don’t get in our way!

Flare Grunt (f): Are you trying to play us for a fool, kid? You don’t seriously think you can just barge in here and take us on all by yourself, do you?
[after defeat] I can’t believe I lost to some little kid. I must look like such a fool.
[after battle] What is with you anyway? You’re a fool if you think you can do anything all by yourself!

Flare Grunt (m): Hey! Stop right there, intruder! I’ll warn you now--I can be persistent!
[after defeat] Hrmph! I lost on purpose!
[after battle] Now I’m mad! I told you I was persistent! I refuse to budge from this spot! Not an inch!

Scientist (f): That blasted Team Flare! They’ve come for the sole purpose of stealing the electricity we send to Lumiose City from here!
Thanks to you and your Pokémon, we were able to get everything up and running again! Thanks so much! Please, accept this! Give the Magnet to your Pokémon to increase the power of its Electric-type moves!

Scientist (m): Space-based photovoltaic power generation! I can’t believe this state-of-the-art technology has fallen into the hands of a bunch of villains!
[after being saved] Space-based photovoltaic power generation! It’s not as complicated as it sounds! We have an operation in outer space that gathers energy from the sun and beams it down here in the form of microwaves and electromagnetic waves. We’ve got the Pokémon called Porygon helping with our outer-space operation.

Businessman: How ’bout some Fresh Water? They usually go for $200 per bottle, but just for you, I’ll sell ’em for $300 a pop!
Sorry to charge you so much...
In times like this, I’ve got no choice but to jack up the price!
How ’bout some Fresh Water? They usually go for $200 per bottle, but just for you, I’ll sell ’em for $100 a pop!
You have my thanks!
My prices change from time to time...
I can’t sell you something if you can’t pay! That’s just how business works.
[max water] Seriously? Just how many bottles of Fresh Water do you have in there?!

Worker: That blasted Team Flare! This energy was only made possible by the efforts of Pokémon and our state-of-the-art technology!
[after being saved] When the Power Plant has problems, the northern gate in Lumiose City closes down.

Worker: Whaddya mean you’re here to rescue us? You’re just a kid...
[after being saved]I knew you’d save us! I never doubted you for a moment!

Worker: I tried to hide in here, but I think I got stuck...
[after being saved] I’m not stuck! It’s just that a pleasantly cool breeze drifts through here.

Flare Grunt (m): Oh, I sure do love me a good happening! I always feel like I’ve gotten something done after overcoming a challenge!
[after defeat] Now you’re a Trainer who knows how to bring a good happening!
[after battle] My life is full of happenings... Maybe that’s not so bad, though!

Flare Grunt (m): Aren’t these sunglasses the coolest? I bet you’re jealous! Too bad--you can’t have them!
[after defeat] The future doesn’t look very bright for me! Oh! I wonder if it’s because I’m wearing sunglasses.
[after battle] It’s as if I was looking at you through rose-colored glasses!

Flare Grunt (f): Go, Team Flare! Go, go, Team Flare! F to the L to the A to the R to the E! F-L-A-R-E! We bring it! You know it!
[after defeat] ...Go, Team Flare, go! ...Go, go, Team Flare!
[after battle] Simple defeat won’t stop me from cheering! Go, Team Flare! Go, go, Team Flare! F to the L to the A to the R to the E!

Flare Grunt (f): What do I want to do? Hmmm... How about inflicting some serious pain on your Pokémon?
[after defeat] I only succeeded in hurting MY Pokémon!
[after battle] You should do what you wanna do, too!

Flare Grunt (f): You’ll not get past me! My pride is enough to keep you at bay!
[after defeat] Losing to you doesn’t mean anything! My pride remains unscathed!
[after battle] I may not have been able to stop you, but I ain’t apologizing to nobody! The person up top who assigned me to this post is at fault--not me!

Team Flare Admin (m): How much longer?

Aliana: If you’re just interested in the facts, I’d say we already have enough energy to power the device.

Team Flare Admin (m): Good. Let’s finish up here and move out. There’s still more work to be done.

Aliana: What other work do you mean? [turns to you] Perhaps you mean taking out that annoying little Pokémon Trainer over there?

Team Flare Admin (m): [!] What’s this? [walks up to you] I didn’t think anyone remained here after we dealt with the workers.
[after defeat] If my analysis is correct--and it always is--this battle is 100 percent a failure on my part.
[after battle] [steps back, turns to Aliana] Scientist, take care of this pesky intruder!

Aliana: Ah ha ha! It would be my pleasure! Come on, little Trainer! Let’s see what you’ve got!
[talk again] Allow me to introduce myself, intruder. My name is Aliana. As you can see, I’m one of Team Flare’s Scientists. I’m researching a certain something that you wouldn’t understand, anyway. Unfortunately for you, I’ve been charged with the simple task of your elimination.
[after defeat] You’re quite strong. Oh yes--very strong, indeed.
[after battle] Ah ha ha! Well, I certainly didn’t expect you to be so interesting! I do hope we can meet again!

Red scarf woman: Oh my! [turns around to reveal mask] You chased off that mysterious bunch before we could even get here? [turns to you] Well, I guess there’s always room for more defenders of Kalos! Let me heal your Pokémon as thanks!

Blue scarf man: You and your Pokémon are the ultimate team! No doubt about it! But don’t push yourself too hard. Here. Take these. Thanks to you, the power is back on in Lumiose City. Now people can pass through the gate connecting Route 13 to Lumiose City again.

Red scarf woman: Well, I think us mysterious people will be off now! I leave before being left. I decide. Au revoir! [both walk away]

Badlands part 2

AZ: The Pokémon... The flower Pokémon... The Pokémon that was given eternal life... [he walks off]

Ranger: I heard that Clemont was running all about, doing whatever he could to make up for the lack of electricity.

Lumiose

Shauna: [nickname]! ♪ I ran after you like crazy when I spotted you up ahead! Know what? I heard the power’s back on here in Lumiose City! Some really bad people were stealing electricity from the Kalos Power Plant... and then somebody came and stopped ’em! No one knows who, but they must be awesome!

Magenta Plaza

Flare Grunt (f): This flaming-red café is perfect for hot young stars like us. We really bloom when we’re having lively debates about how to make a better tomorrow. So bitter... So dark... That’s doing it right! Espresso is the oil that keeps our gears running smoothly!

Server (m): Welcome to Lysandre Café.

Server (f): Welcome... No suit, huh...

Holo clip received!
Sycamore: Hello there! I wanted to talk to you for a little bit. Could you come to Lysandre Café? Do you know where it is? You can see it from outside the Pokémon Center right by Prism Tower. It’s the red café. Just hop in a taxi if you can’t find it. Be seeing you soon!

Guy: I remember my grandma scolding me and saying no bad deed goes unpunished... I wonder how she’s doing...

Twin girl 1: Team Flare are the red-suited saviors of the world!

Twin girl 2: Oh, Lysandre... I’ll have my $5,000,000 saved soon...

Sycamore: Over here! I was just having a conversation with Lysandre about Mega Evolution.

Lysandre: I would like to congratulate you as well. Mega Evolution is something I, too, would like to be able to use.

Sycamore: [turns to Lysandre, who turns to him] Actually, Lysandre himself is of royal ancestry... He truly is a chosen one.

Lysandre: True. I’m a descendant of the king’s younger brother. That being said, that story is 3,000 years old, so it might not be entirely reliable.

Sycamore: [him and Lysandre turn to you] By the way, [player]... Do you know where the Holo Caster is made?
[if yes] That’s right! They’re made in Lysandre’s lab.
[if no] Oh really? Well, they just happen to be made in Lysandre’s lab. Lysandre is a great man. He supports Trainers and Pokémon research with some of the profit from the Holo Caster.

Lysandre: People can be divided into two groups. Those who give... And those who take... It’s just as how the Kalos region’s two Legendary Pokémon gave life and took life.
[looks off into the middle distance] I want to be the kind of person who gives... But in this world, some foolish humans exist who would show their strength by taking what isn’t theirs.

They’re filth!
[turns to Sycamore] Long, long ago, the king of Kalos sought to take everything for his own, and he created a terrible weapon. Then the fire of destruction was unleashed... That is the legend that has been passed down.
[turns to you] Kalos is beautiful right now! There will be no foolish actions if the number of people and Pokémon do not increase.
That being said, the future isn’t decided. You can’t be sure each day will be like the one before.
[turns to face both of you] What the king of Kalos did was reprehensible, but... The ultimate weapon did manage to wash the world clean of that era’s filth. [walks up to you and hands you a King's Rock, then walks back]
Thank you for listening. Take that as an apology for my taking up your time. [walks away]

Sycamore: [looking off after Lysandre] What a passionate person. He’s just like a blazing flame. Perhaps his pride in his lineage is what makes him burn so intensely.
[turns to you] That being said, what Lysandre says is only one way of looking at things... It’s not necessarily the truth. [player]! What’s truly important is the time you spend together with others! Treasure these moments spent traveling the Kalos region with your Pokémon!

Poke Ball Factory

Flare Grunt (m): Adults are talking inside. Scram, kid. Shoo! Shoo!

Route 15

Backpacker: I met some eccentric ladies’ man in a café the other day. Turned out he was a professor! He told me a story about how, long ago, there was a Pokémon that was much beloved by its king and how that Pokémon ended up saving the king’s life. According to the professor, the stories that remain from that time indicate that it was a Fairy type.

Flare Grunt (m): We’ve finished all transportation preparations. All we have to do now is wait for the mission to be successfully completed!

Flare Grunt (f): When you need something, just take it from someone who has it! Simple as that!

Flare Grunt (m): [if you try to cross] Hey, hey! Stop right there. You want to go beyond this point? You’ll have to join Team Flare! I’ll let you in for a small fee... Let’s say $5,000,000?

Poke Ball Factory (2)

Trevor: How vexing. He won’t let us inside the Poké Ball Factory.

Shauna: He’ll let us in. You’ll see! I’ll go talk to him again!

Trevor: Shauna! Wait!

Tierno: Did Shaunee and Trevs go running off just now? What’s the deal?

Serena: We were supposed to meet here, too... I wonder what the matter is.

Calem: We were supposed to meet here. Did something happen?

Shauna: Eeeeek! [she runs off, Trevor following]

Tierno: Huh? Hm? What’s going on? W-well, I guess I’ll go help them!

Serena: Team Flare? There might be something happening inside. Let’s check it out while the guard is gone!

Calem: Team Flare? There might be something going on inside. Let’s check it out while the guard’s gone!

Laverre City

Flare Grunt (m): Aaarrgh! Where did they go? I’ll get that stuck-up girl and that little smarty-pants for this!

Kalos Pokeball Plant

Flare Grunt (f): Can’t that idiot outside even handle guard duty? [walks forward] So sorry, but we’re not offering tours right now.

Serena: With a red suit like that, you must be a member of Team Flare, right? Did you have to take a part-time job at the Poké Ball Factory to pay for that ugly suit?

Calem: That red suit means you’re a member of Team Flare, right? Did you have to take a part-time job at the Poké Ball Factory to pay for that ugly suit?

Flare Grunt (f): What?! How dare you mock Team Flare! Mightyena, get them!

Serena: I’ll take care of this! You go on ahead!

Calem: Leave this to me! You go ahead!

Flare Grunt (f): I love battles that just don’t quit!

Flare Grunt (m): I’m a nameless Team Flare Grunt. I’ve yet to make a name for myself.
[after defeat] I’m a nameless Grunt who lost. I’ve yet to make a name for myself.
[after battle] I’m a nameless Team Flare Grunt. And that’s all I’ll ever be...

Flare Grunt (m): When I beat you, tears will fall from your eyes like Poké Balls rolling down a conveyor!
[after defeat] Please, take me away on the conveyor to a world without pain!
[after battle] Even if I lose, more will come--like Poké Balls rolling down a conveyor!

Flare Grunt (f): Don’t worry, be happy!
[after defeat] Hard to be happy when you lose... Where did I go wrong?
[after battle] I can’t help but worry when I lose, though... I mean, I’m kind of a scrub, you know?

Flare Grunt (f): Ball! Ball! Poké Ball! Ball! Ball! Ultra Ball!
[after defeat] Ball! Ball! No Ball?! Oh no! I don’t have any Balls to throw!
[after battle] Whatever! If we steal the Poké Balls, only Team Flare will have Pokémon!

Worker: You’re not wearing a red suit! So you’re not a member of Team Flare! Then who are you? It doesn’t matter! Anyway--beat Team Flare! Change the direction of the conveyor by using the switch!

Scientist (m): We automated the factory to lighten the burden put on Pokémon, but... It also means there are fewer people, so the factory was taken over almost instantly.

Scientist (f): If Poké Balls are stolen by Team Flare, we can’t become friends with Pokémon...

Scientist (f): [after Flare defeat] Team Flare... What are they conspiring to do?

Scientist (m): If all Poké Balls are stolen, there won’t be any Poké Balls to buy at Poké Marts! Just one might cost $1,000,000!

Flare Admin (f): Come now. Work for Team Flare! If you’d just help out, we wouldn’t have to carry all these Poké Balls by ourselves.

Celosia: Or, with a contribution of just $5,000,000, you could become a member of Team Flare. It’s a no-brainer!

President: What in the world are you Team Flare fools thinking?! I’ll never forgive any group that tries to take all the Poké Balls for itself!

Bryony: Forget it. Quit wasting your time with this person.

Flare Admin (f): I agree. There’s no one we can use here. Let’s blow this place to smithereens. [! turns around] Well, what do we have here? An intruder? [the other two turn around]

President: You’re one to talk! You! Please! Help me!

Flare Admin (f): My oh my. Getting a little desperate, are we, Mr. Company President? Well, I guess I’ll just have to extinguish your little glimmer of hope.
[after defeat] Wha-what?!
[after battle] C-come on! You didn’t have to go all out for a pitiful president like him!

Celosia: So lame! That’s just embarrassing from an admin! Still, no worries. We’re on it! This pair of scientists will clean up after you.

Bryony: Let’s take him/her on two versus one. We must improve our chances of winning.

Serena: We’ll see about that! Sorry I’m late!

Calem: I can’t let you do that. Sorry to have kept you waiting!

Bryony: There’s another one?

Celosia: One kid or two, it doesn’t make a lot of difference. When we’re the ones fighting together, our odds of victory increase exponentially!

Serena: You might want to check your numbers. Are you really even scientists?
Can you help me fight them, neighbor?
[if yes] Let’s go!
[if no] Got it!

Calem: I think your math is off. And I thought you were supposed to be scientists!
Are you ready to fight alongside me, neighbor?
[if yes] Let’s get ’em!
[if no] Got it!

Flare Admin (f): I hope you get the tar beat out of you... If you’re scared, you’d better run...

Celosia: Double Battles let you cover each other’s weaknesses.

Bryony: In Double Battles, both Pokémon use some powerful moves!

President: Please help... I beg you...

Celosia: [after defeat] No way! Wow, we are lame.

Bryony: [after defeat] Probability is just probability, after all... Absolutes do not exist.

Bryony: [after battle] Oh my, oh my?

Celosia: [after defeat] So lame! What a shame! We got beat!

Flare Admin (f): Enough already! We’ve already stolen the Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls. Let’s call it good and leave. [they vanish]

President: You saved us! Thank you so much!
You’re astounding Pokémon Trainers for being so young. Very well, then. I want to show my appreciation. I’ll give you a Master Ball or a Big Nugget. Pick whichever one you’d like.

Selena: I think you should pick first.

Calem: Go ahead and pick first.

President: I’ll give you a Master Ball or a Big Nugget. Pick whichever one you’d like.
And here you go!
And as a bonus, you can have the one you didn’t pick as well!
And for you, too, of course!

Serena: Th-thank you! This seems like a lot...

Calem: Oh. Thank you.

President: I just have a feeling you two will put them to great use. You’re different from those Team Flare people. Oh, and even I don’t know the proper way to use a Big Nugget. Still... That blasted Team Flare. What were they planning to accomplish by taking all the Poké Balls for themselves...
[talk again] Without Poké Balls, people can’t catch Pokémon. Which means many people won’t be able to make friends with Pokémon.

Serena: So, they stole Poké Balls, right? That means they must be planning something they need many Pokémon for. I heard that Team Flare was also behind the trouble at the Power Plant. Pokémon... And electricity... What could they be after?

Calem: So, they stole Poké Balls, right? They must be planning something they need lots of Pokémon for. I heard that Team Flare was also behind the trouble at the Power Plant. Pokémon... And electricity... What are they after?

Shauna: Hey, do you think it’s OK to go have a look around now?

Serena: I’m sorry... Team Flare messed everything up. It’s not a good time right now.

Calem: I’m afraid not. It’s not the time for that now. They still have to clean up after Team Flare.

Shauna: Team Flare? Have I heard that name somewhere?

Trevor: Would they be the people in the red suits from a minute ago?

Serena: That’s right, Trevor. Team Flare... ... ...

Calem: Right. Team Flare... ... ...

Dancer: They took all of the Poké Balls by force? But they’re for everybody to use!

Trevor: How awful... It seems like it would be best not to get involved with those guys.

Dancer: You’re right, Trevs. Team Flare sure is terrible. What should we do now? According to the Town Map, Dendemille Town is next... [trevor and dancer leave]

Shauna: [nickname]! You and Serena/Calem are really awesome! You’re way stronger than those bad guys! Still, try not to do anything crazy, OK? See yaaa!♪

Serena: Thank you. Everyone’s OK, thanks to you! But if I keep relying on you like this, going on this journey will lose its meaning...

Calem: Thanks. Everyone’s OK, thanks to you. But if I keep relying on you like this, I won’t grow during my journey.

Holo clip received!

We’re bringing you this special bulletin. The Poké Ball Factory in the area around Laverre City has been attacked. The identities of those involved are unknown. However, this is not expected to have any effect on the sales of Poké Balls...

Laverre City

Flare Grunt (m): Man, these red suits are hard to run in. I’ll never catch up to those kids! But the admins are sure gonna be grumpy about this...

Man: Team Flare stole the Poké Balls, but the people at the Poké Ball Factory said it will be OK!

Route 15

Holo clip received!
Lysandre: According to Professor Sycamore’s research, Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon’s hidden energy at once. The Pokémon then exhibits a level of power it could not attain through ordinary Evolution. What meaning can we draw from this? Do all people and Pokémon have such potential, or is it hidden within a chosen few?

Man: I hear your future is secure if you join Team Flare.

Dendemille Town

Sycamore: Why hello, [player]! How have you been? How’s your journey going? You see, when I was younger, I visited many different regions as well. I met many kinds of Pokémon and noticed how each place has its own distinct flavors. So, I really came to enjoy trying new foods as I traveled. Because of my adventures, I’m an expert on the cafés all over Kalos.

Dexio: Um... Professor...

Sycamore: Come now, Dexio. I’m going somewhere with this. Do you remember the Pokémon Lysandre mentioned in that café?
[if yes] Wonderful! I knew you would!
[if no] I suppose you wouldn’t. It’s important to forget things from time to time.
Kalos’s Legendary Pokémon is called... Xerneas/Yveltal!
According to material I’ve read, those who saw it were so overwhelmed by its power, they were only able to say that this Pokémon resembled the letter X/Y.


Apparently, this Pokémon can control energy. It gives life energy to plants and Pokémon, and makes them full of vitality again./Apparently, this Pokémon will absorb energy. Its life span is said to be 1,000 years. When it reaches the end of its life, it steals all of the spirits around it.

Dexio: Wherever do you think a Pokémon that amazing could be now?

Sycamore: When Kalos’s Legendary Pokémon loses all of its vitality, it goes to sleep in a secret place. I don’t have a clue where it could be. The writings that mention it are also around a thousand years old, so they aren’t much help. It would be absolutely astounding if you found it, [player].

Dexio: It would be absolutely astounding if you found it, [player]. Maybe I’ll look into the legend a little bit. If I find something, I’ll let you know!

Sycamore: Ah ha ha! Oh, it would be a thrill if you found it, indeed! But your journey is yours and your Pokémon’s alone. I want you to enjoy yourself and do whatever you’d like!

Trevor: Um... Is the Professor gone already? I was hoping to have him have a look at my Pokédex in person. Oh well, I can still get my Pokédex evaluated at a Pokémon Center’s PC... Anyway, I’m heading off to go look for Pokémon in the Frost Cavern and fill up more of my Pokédex!

Boy: So bad guys are all like, “we’ll take over the world,” but I think it would be really hard to look after everybody.

Frost Cavern

Trevor: It’s really cold in here, isn’t it, [nickname]? Is there something going on up ahead?

Mable: This Abomasnow is a fine specimen! It’s absolutely brimming with energy. The more we agitate it, the stronger its Snow Warning Ability becomes, making the snow fall even more furiously. Let’s catch it swiftly and get out of here.

Abomasnow: Snowww...

Trevor: Hey! [runs up, you follow him] Hey, you Poké Ball thieves! What are you doing here?!

Mable: [! turns around to you] What does it look like? We’re catching Pokémon. Why else would we have grabbed all of those Poké Balls? [turns back to Abomasnow] It was all so we could catch powerful Pokémon like this Abomasnow. It’s full of potent energy!

Trevor: Energy?

Mable: [turns back] You’re not the brightest one, are you? Whoever has the most Pokémon and the most energy will come out on top! Lazy people who just wait for things to be handed to them don’t get to have these resources!

Trevor: But why is Team Flare amassing Pokémon, energy, and money? To put it another way, why is Team Flare always trying to take everything for itself?

Mable: Allow me to spell it out for you! It’s so Team Flare--and only Team Flare--can survive! After all, why should we care about saving people who aren’t on our side? Anyway, I don’t mind a healthy curiosity, but I’m afraid I just don’t have any more time for you.

Trevor: [nickname]... Did they say only Team Flare will survive? These people have a few screws loose...

Mable: You two--hurry up and send these kids packing!

Flare Grunt (f) (right): Yes, ma’am!

Flare Grunt (f): Right away!

Flare Grunt (f) (right): Let’s go! Team Flare! This is the trademark pose of Team Flare! It’s the very definition of fashionable! [both of them do the F pose]
[after defeat] Hmm... How do you think I could reverse time to the point before I lost?
[after battle] I may have lost... I may have lost, but... Isn’t this winter wonderland beautiful? Almost as beautiful as the Team Flare pose...

Trevor: Yikes! Um... If I’m facing Mightyena, I should be using...

Flare Grunt (f): You’d better chill it with the questions and mind your manners, kid.

Mable: Hmm... You’re more powerful than you look. I wonder how much energy there is inside you.
[after defeat] Not just strong... TOO strong! Not ordinary, indeed...
[after battle] Hrmph! I’ve no patience for losing. Let’s get out of here! [fade to black, they leave]

Trevor: Doesn’t battling with Team Flare scare you, [nickname]? I’ll admit it scares me. I don’t like battling them... But we managed to protect Abomasnow by pitching in there. I know I’m the reserved type, and I’m OK with that, but it’s important to be bold when necessary. Mamoswine doesn’t have to worry about Abomasnow anymore, and that’s what matters. All’s well that ends well!

Anistar City

Karate Girl: You there! I came in place of Dexio to tell you something. There’s a person here in Anistar City who knows about the Legendary Pokémon.

Hiker: Those red suits would look dreadful on me, so I didn’t join Team Flare.

Holo clip received!

Lysandre: Pokémon Trainers. I come to you by the Holo Caster to make an important announcement. Listen well. Team Flare will revive the ultimate weapon, eliminate everyone who isn’t in our group, and return the world to a beautiful, natural state. Unproductive fools are consuming our future... If nothing changes, the world will become ugly and conflicts will raze the land from end to end. I repeat. We will use the ultimate weapon and wipe the slate clean. I’m sorry, those of you who are not members of Team Flare, but this is adieu to you all.

Serena: What...was Lysandre saying?
Wiping the slate clean? Eliminating everyone but Team Flare?!
[nickname]! Let’s look for Team Flare’s headquarters! Where could Lysandre be? Perhaps he’s where we first met him... In Lumiose City...

Calem: What...was Lysandre saying?
Wiping the slate clean? Eliminating everyone but Team Flare?!
[nickname]! Let’s split up and look for Team Flare’s base! Where could Lysandre be, though... We first met him in Lumiose City... Maybe he’s there?

Flare Grunt (m): Team Flare forever! Because this outfit adds extra pizzazz to drinking espresso at Lysandre Café!

Flare Frunt (f): Do you know where Magenta Plaza is? It’s next to the Pokémon Center by Prism Tower, which is in the center of Lumiose City. There’s nothing quite like the coffee from the café next to Magenta Plaza.

Lumiose City

Waiter/Flare Grunt (m): Today, our special is... get out of here or else!
[after defeat] I need my stylish red Team Flare suit to unleash my full power...
[after battle] Oh no! He/She'll find out the password to the hidden door in this café is “open sesame”!

This piece of furniture gives off a mysterious vibe...

Waitress/Flare Grunt (f): Today’s special is a SCRAM-ble. If you don’t get out of here now...
[after defeat] Was I actually a part of Team Flare, or was I just a Waitress?
[after battle] At this rate, he/she'll figure out there’s a hidden door to Lysandre Labs!

The piece of furniture giving off a mysterious vibe...is a hidden door! [player] said the password in front of the hidden door. “Open sesame”!

Lysandre Labs

Lysandre: Welcome. [walks forward] This world will eventually reach the point of no return... Saving the lives of all is impossible. Only the chosen ones will obtain a ticket to tomorrow. Do you want to have a ticket? Or, do you want to stop me? Show me in battle.
[after defeat] Excellent! I can feel the fire of your convictions burning deep within your heart!
[after battle] Wah ha ha! Your convictions, and those of your Pokémon, please me!
You are here to stop me. But I ask you to wait. I tried to save people--and the world--with the profit from this lab. But my efforts had no effect... The world was just too vast...and too full of fools that I couldn’t save through my hard work alone... That’s why I decided the only way to save the world was to take it all for myself.
I don’t expect that I will ever make you understand how I think and feel... Try to stop the ultimate weapon if you must, but to do so, you will have to explore our lab and have Pokémon battles with all you meet.
[turns to elevator] Oh, and as for the Elevator Key, one of the Team Flare Scientists you’ve met on your journey has it.
Saving everything... The world is suffering because of this absurd dream... [walks into elevator, fade to black]

Flare Grunt (f): You’ll be captivated by the warp panel and transported away!
[after defeat] I prefer relaxing breathing exercises to battles...
[after battle] The warp panels transport both happiness and sadness in equal measure.

Aliana: Ah ha ha! Why, if it isn’t that fascinating little Trainer from the Kalos Power Plant. So we meet again, just as I said we would!
[after defeat] You sure are an interesting Trainer. You’re far more capable than our useless Grunts.
[after battle] I don’t have the key, but I’ll let you pass. But which warp panel could it be? Which one cooould it be?
[talk again] I had fun at the Kalos Power Plant. Of course, we could have generated electricity with Team Flare’s technology, too, you know. We just didn’t think it justified the cost. To create a world for us and us alone, we have to play it smart, you see.

Flare Grunt (m): Time for me to lay waste to you and your Pokémon and finally get recognized by the admins!
[after defeat] No good! No good! The admins are gonna be so mad!
[after battle] We were told that as long as we created a ruckus, we could advance within Team Flare. Those Scientists get special treatment, though! They’re real close to Lysandre, after all.

Red scarf: No sign of him here either... [walks to you] You! Have you seen anything?

Blue scarf: We’re looking for a really tall guy... And I mean tall. If you stretched out a Seviper and stood it up, he’d be that tall. We received some intelligence that Team Flare is also trying to find him for some reason.

Red scarf: His relationship to Team Flare is still a mystery, but... Oh, by the way, I’ve got something for you. Take these with you, [player]. [!] Oh, wait! We met some time ago, but I didn’t get your name then! I’ve never heard your name before! Not once!

Blue scarf: Uh... Anyway... We came here--at a certain professor’s request--to stop Team Flare! I assume your goal is the same? Don’t do anything reckless, OK?

Red scarf: [talk again] What is that Lysandre guy thinking?! I thought he wanted a beautiful world...

Blue Scarf: [talk again] The professor’s feeling pretty down, but he’s using his network of acquaintances to try to stop Team Flare’s plan.

Flare Grunt (m): Fashionable people can battle, too!
[after defeat] Fashionable people can be sad, too!
[after battle] Fashionable people can lose, too!

Flare Grunt (f): What? You want to lie down and take a little nap? Hmph. What a softie. You! Do you think you can really use this TM? [get Taunt] When Taunt is used against Pokémon, they can only use moves that damage others!

Flare Grunt (f): Oh my! You took off Team Flare’s awesome suit? You didn’t want it to get all wrinkled in bed, eh?

Flare Grunt (f): I’m gonna send you spinning!
[after defeat] Whatever. I care not if I lose. I’ll be in a brand- new world of beauty and perfection soon!
[after battle] Stepping on the spin panels will send you spinning until you run into something!

Flare Grunt (f): Wow, you came all this way? I suppose I’d better cheer... Go, Team Flare! Go, go, Team Flare! F to the L to the A to the R to the E!
[after defeat] ...Just who was I cheering for?
[after battle] We were researching the ultimate weapon along with Lysandre and his team of Scientists in order to bring about world peace!

Bryony: Huh?

Celosia: Huh?

Bryony: Huh.

Celosia: Huh?

Bryony: I’ve seen this kid somewhere before.

Celosia: So who is he/she?

Bryony: I have no idea. But obviously he/she's not in Team Flare. Let’s get him/her, yeah?

Celosia: Yup. That sounds good to me. Then I’ll get in the first blow!
[after defeat] Ah ha ha ha! You beat us good. Wow, we are sooo lame.

Bryony: Oh! What a brute! Look at poor Celosia!
[after defeat] Your ability flies in the face of all probability! Just what is the source of your power?

Celosia: What’s this?! Who would have thought a child like you could beat us both? You and your Pokémon were utterly in sync in that battle, and I know why. You’re here for answers, aren’t you? I suppose we’re at your mercy. I will tell you what I know, at least.

Bryony: We’ve been using the electricity we stole from the Power Plant to get everything prepared for activating the ultimate weapon. But it’s not like that’s all we’ll need to use it. Are you following me? We’ll need energy absorbed from Pokémon to power the device! Yes! It’s the stones on Route 10 that will steal that energy for us and power the ultimate weapon! That’s right. The stones on Route 10 normally put out energy, but when the ultimate weapon is activated, that reverses and they begin to absorb energy from Pokémon!

Celosia: In reality, those stones that line Route 10 are the graves of Pokémon. When the ultimate weapon was used to end that horrible war over 3,000 years ago, it stole the lives of all those Pokémon. Their lives were the price of peace then. And if we want to make our own wishes come true today, we in Team Flare also have to sacrifice something precious.

Can this stone really be used to absorb a Pokémon’s energy?

Flare Grunt (m): No really, I understand. It’s only natural to be jealous of a suit as stylin’ as mine.
[after defeat] Win or lose, style is all! In a suit like this, I’ve got standards to live up to!
[after battle] I hate to break it to you, but you’re better off just giving up! You really have to look good in a suit to be considered for Team Flare.

Flare Grunt (f): Haha! It sure does feel good to let loose every once in a while! Spying on people’s Holo Caster conversations gets boring pretty quickly, after all!
[after defeat] Nice! My Pokémon like to let loose every once in a while, too!
[after battle] Right here, right now! I just live in the moment! Forget worrying about tomorrow!

There’s a report on the desk. “When I was young, I went on a journey around Kalos with my Pokémon. I reached out to help those suffering because they had nothing. At first, they were grateful, but eventually, they began to take my help for granted and demand more and more... Will fools like those people consume the Kalos region? This world is stable and secure. So the population of people and Pokémon continues to increase unabated. But there is a limit to the amount of money and energy the world is capable of producing. Either everything is lost, or only a handful are saved. This is something best not left to man... I must use a tool of higher power.”

There’s research material on the bookshelf. “The king’s name was AZ, and he was both the beginning and the end. He used technology unlike any seen during that era to unite Kalos for the first time.”

There’s research material on the bookshelf. “The king was proud of the technology he had used to bring Kalos prosperity, but he couldn’t help but use it in a way that had never been intended... AZ, the man who was king, disappeared.”

There’s research material on the bookshelf. “When AZ, the man who was king, vanished, he took the key to the ultimate weapon. That is the item required to activate the weapon.”

There’s research material on the bookshelf. “The king couldn’t escape war with those who targeted a wealthy Kalos. The war grew so violent and ugly, the king was forced to send his own beloved Pokémon into battle.”

There’s research material on the bookshelf. “AZ had a younger brother. It’s said he led a legion of greedy souls who wanted to seize the Kalos region. His dark intention was to make it his own. But when he saw how Kalos had been ravaged by the war, he took the weapon his brother had created, and he buried that weapon deep underground.”

There’s research material on the bookshelf. “The king’s younger brother told his progeny the location of the ultimate weapon and died. That is something to be used by sophisticated powers, not by humans. Human beings must create a world where such a weapon is unnecessary...”

There’s research material on the bookshelf. “Full of sorrow, AZ built the ultimate weapon. When he did this, he left the following words. ‘What’s wrong with bringing something you love back into this world? Without my beloved Pokémon, no other Pokémon have any meaning!’”

There’s research material on the bookshelf. “The mountains will never know one another, but people can encounter other people. And people and Pokémon mix together.”

There’s research material on the bookshelf. “Over the ages, people and Pokémon worked alongside one another and created many things. As a result of this, a leader appeared among the humans. That leader sought to produce even more goods. Increased production of goods created a gap between haves and have-nots.”

Mable: Oh, oh, oh, oh? You’re that kid from the Frost Cavern... On your lonesome this time?
[if yes] Oooh, that’s cold! Colder than that cavern! Your Pokémon don’t even count for anything?
[if no] Oh! Well, of course you’re not! You have your Pokémon, huh?
We gather data about all the Trainers in the region through the Holo Caster, so we know all about you guys. And you know how the Mega Ring is used to awaken a Pokémon’s power, right? Just like how the ultimate weapon can max out a Pokémon’s power. Heheh... Looks like you and me are practically after the same thing, yeah?
[after defeat] Oooh, you are strong! You and your Pokémon are most certainly not ordinary!
[after battle] Ding-ding-ding! Yup, you did it! To the victor goes the spoils! Here! An elevator key for you! The power of the Legendary Pokémon... The power to grant life to all around it... It’s a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven’t been able to really decode./ The power of the Legendary Pokémon... The power to steal life from all around it... It’s a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven’t been able to really decode.
What d’you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?

B2

AZ: Listen, one who will face Lysandre.
[cutscene]

A terribly long time ago…
There was a man and a Pokémon. He loved that Pokémon very much.
A war began.
The man's beloved Pokémon took part in the war.
Several years passed.
He was given a tiny box.
The man wanted to bring the Pokémon back. No matter what it took.
The man built a machine to give it life.
He brought his beloved Pokémon back.
The man had suffered too much. His rage had not subsided.
He could not forgive the world that had hurt the Pokémon he loved.
He turned the machine into the ultimate weapon.
The man became a bringer of destruction that ended the war.
The Pokémon that was given life must have known…
That the lives of many Pokémon were taken to restore its life.
The resurrected Pokémon left the man.
[end cutscene]
Get the key back. It should not be used. Everything will vanish again. Do you want to know unending pain...like I have?

Lysandre: That is AZ. He has the same name as a king that lived 3,000 years ago. And for some unknown reason, he had the key to the ultimate weapon hung around his neck.
[turns around to you] It’s finally time. Follow me to my chambers.

B4

Xerosic: So the Poké Balls we received and the Pokémon we’ve gathered are where they need to be. Add it all up, and it means all preparations are complete!

Lysandre: The only thing left to do is put the plan in motion. I’m counting on you.

[they turn to us. the angle changes to overhead. we approach them]

Lysandre: One push of a button, and we can activate the ultimate weapon from this room.
[he walks towards us, angle changes to dutch angle zoom] I believe being a chosen one means you have the potential to change the future! Whether we activate the ultimate weapon or leave it safely underground will rest upon if you actually have this potential or not. [walks away]

Xerosic: [pans to xerosic] Oh ho ho! You’re the one I’ve heard so much about! I’ve been waiting for you!
I need to do a little research on you! Come, let us begin!
[after defeat] Oh ho ho! You’re wonderful! Your Pokémon are amazing!
[after battle] Wonderful! Amazing! You have tremendous skill and bravery! When you add that up, it means I will tell you something very interesting.
[normal overhead camera angle] It happened 3,000 years ago. The ultimate weapon was used to put an end to the war in an instant. If we use that incredible power, we can finally free Kalos of the foolish humans that plague it!
Behind me you’ll find a [VAR COLOR(0001)]red button[VAR COLOR(0000)] and a [VAR COLOR(0002)]blue button[VAR COLOR(0000)]. One of them is the button for activating the ultimate weapon. Push one now! Come on! Push one!
[talk again] I’m very curious to see the results of my research. To use the ultimate weapon to cleanse this world once and for all... It’s fascinating!

Push the red button?
[player] pushed the red button.

Push the blue button?
[player] pushed the blue button.

Xerosic: [if red] You pushed it! Oh ho ho! You pushed the little red button! Too bad...for you! Pushing that button has enabled us to use the ultimate weapon! Don’t feel too down, though. I would have activated it even if you had guessed correctly.
[if blue] You pressed it! Oh ho ho! You pressed the blue switch! Winner, winner! Congratulations! But I’m still going to activate the ultimate weapon! I know the boss promised that we wouldn’t if you pushed the correct button, but I refuse to let the potential go to waste! I’ll just use my remote, here! Click-click! And the power is ON!
Come on! Look! Look at the monitor!
[cutscene]
Did you see? The ultimate weapon is reborn! The poisonous flower has bloomed! All shall perish! Except for Team Flare!
[talk again] Look at Geosenge! It has bloomed in Geosenge Town! The boss’s dream of creating a beautiful world will come true! Add it all up, and it equals... a victory for our SCIENCE!

Cyllage City

[blocking route 10]

Flare Grunt (m): What secret do the stones contain? Why are they able to absorb energy?

Flare Grunt (m): Just what kind of technology did they have 3,000 years ago?

Flare Grunt (f): I still don’t have any regrets about joining Team Flare!

Geosenge Town

[blocking route 10]

Flare Grunt (m): So the ultimate weapon can only be powered with the life energy of Pokémon...

Flare Grunt (f): Nope! I can’t hear them! I won’t listen to the Pokémon’s cries!

Flare Grunt (m): I can’t let you go beyond this point! A kid like you shouldn’t be exposed to such sights.

Flare Grunt (m): The mysterious stone is absorbing energy...

Flare Grunt (m): Um? Where was the entrance to our secret HQ again? Was it in a boulder?

Flare Grunt (m): Only Team Flare’s stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.

Flare Grunt (f): I bought a new life for $5,000,000!

Woman: That thing was under us this whole time? What caused it to come up from underground?

Man: Did you see that thing come up from inside the ground? Crazy...

Flare Grunt (m): You’d better have come here prepared! Both you and your Pokémon!
[after defeat] Behold the moment of my defeat! Don’t even think about blinking!
[after battle] Lysandre does whatever he can to help us realize our goals. Surely he deserves respect for that! [runs away]

Serena: [nickname], I’m coming with you!
When I was in Lysandre’s lab, the masked heroes told me what is going on. They also told me what Team Flare plans to do with the ultimate weapon! C’mon! Let’s stop Team Flare... No... We have to stop Lysandre himself! The world isn’t corrupt enough to give up on yet!

Calem: [nickname], you’re not in this alone!
When I was in Lysandre’s lab, the masked heroes told me what is going on. They also told me what Team Flare plans to do with the ultimate weapon! C’mon! Let’s stop Team Flare... No... We have to stop Lysandre himself! I...I want to protect my friends!

Lab

Flare Grunt (m): It was 3,000 years ago... The ultimate weapon was used, and many Pokémon lost their lives...

Flare Grunt (f): The Pokémon attached to the stones on Route 10 are an energy source for using the ultimate weapon.

Flare Grunt (f): I’ll leave my fate to Lysandre, but I’m worried about tomorrow!

Flare Grunt (m): I’ve been saved by Lysandre’s support...

Scientist (m): We’re absorbing the energy from the mysterious tree./We’re absorbing the energy from the mysterious cocoon.
But that’s it. There isn’t a Pokémon anywhere near here.

Scientist (f): All systems are go for the ultimate weapon. All we have to do is charge it using every bit of that thing’s power.

Scientist (f): Everyone in the whole world must be happy before any one person can be happy. But the world is too big, and there are too many people and Pokémon, so there isn’t enough happiness to go around...

Lysandre: [slow zoom on his back] The ultimate weapon’s flower has finally bloomed above the soil. Don’t you find its beauty captivating? As we speak, it draws its energy from the Legendary Pokémon.
[if you selected blue button] [player]! I apologize that the weapon was unearthed even after you chose correctly in the lab. But conflicting egos drive this world--things don’t always go the way you want!

Serena: We’re not going to let you use the ultimate weapon!

Caleb: Ultimate weapon? We won’t let you use it!

Lysandre: Even though resources, space, and energy on this planet are limited, the number of people and Pokémon has increased to an unsustainable level. Whether it’s money or energy, the ones who steal are the ones who win in this world.

Serena: But that doesn’t give you the right to destroy everyone but the ones Team Flare chooses!

Calem: So what? That doesn’t give you the right to destroy everyone except the few that Team Flare chooses!

Lysandre: [turns around to face you] So, tell me. The Mega Ring, did you share it?

Serena: That’s different! We competed for it, but...

Calem: That’s different! We did compete to see who got it, but...

Lysandre: When there is only one of something, it can’t be shared. When something can’t be shared, it will be fought over. And when something is fought over, some must survive without it. The only way to create a world where people live in beauty, a world without conflict or theft, is to reduce the number of living things.

Serena: What about Pokémon?

Calem: What about Pokémon?

Lysandre: ... [cut to his feet, slow pan up body]

[cut to Serena/Calem]

Serena: Tears... Why?!

Calem: Why...are you crying?

Lysandre: [cut to Lysandre, his eyes are closed.] Pokémon... Shall no longer exist. Pokémon are wonderful beings. Humans have worked with Pokémon, and we have helped each other flourish. But precisely because of that, they will inevitably become tools for war and theft! [eyes open]
Enough of this. You want to stop the ultimate weapon, and I refuse to do so. So, I will keep you busy for just a moment...
[after defeat]
[after battle] [far shot]You’re as strong as ever. But... It’s too late! There’s no hope for you now! Go down to the lowest floor, and see for yourself!

[pans to Serena/Calem]

Serena: It’s not over yet! [turns to you] [nickname]! Let’s look for the Legendary Pokémon! Trainers are protected by Pokémon, but they protect Pokémon, too, right? Look! You can see the entrance to the lower floors over there!

Calem: It’s not over until it’s over! [turns to you] [nickname]! Let’s look for the Legendary Pokémon! Trainers are protected by Pokémon, but they protect Pokémon, too, right? Look! That’s the entrance to the lower floors over there!

Serena: Let’s hurry.
I get what Lysandre is trying to say, but his methods are insane!

Calem: Let’s hurry!
I get what Lysandre is trying to say, but what he wants to do is so wrong!

Team Flare Admin (m): I’m afraid we’re going to have to ask you to turn back. The Legendary Pokémon IS at the end of this chamber, after all.

Flare Grunt (f): Why did you tell them that?! Who would even do something like that?!

Admin (m): [after defeat] You fools... You don’t even have suits!

Flare Grunt (f): [after defeat] You might be strong, but your teamwork is still a bit lacking!

Admin (m): [after battle] Searching deep in Kalos’s mountains for the Legendary Pokémon was backbreaking work. All of that dirt completely wrecked my nice white suit.

Flare Grunt (f): [after battle] That’s right. The Legendary Pokémon is deep within our secret headquarters. But its energy is being absorbed into the ultimate weapon.

Flare Grunt (m): Even if things are just as we heard, I can’t believe they’re sending smart guys like us to run off some little “Rattata” that wandered in.

Admin (f): We won’t lose! You won’t get one step farther! The Trainers moving on to the next level will be Team Flare!

Admin (f): [after defeat] Yes, I lost. But no matter. Lysandre is the one who will take care of things.

Flare Grunt (m): [after defeat] I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter! Lysandre will take care of everything.

Flare Grunt (m): [after battle] The five million I paid to join Team Flare won’t go to waste, right?

Admin (f): [after battle] I just can’t keep listening to selfish fools anymore! The only thing that matters is that the members of Team Flare are happy!

Shauna: [nickname]! Serena/Calem!

Serena: I don’t believe it... What are you doing here?

calem: Shauna?! What are you doing here?

Shauna: I’m sorry... I know... I’m just going to slow you down.

Serena: ...

Calem: ...

Shauna: But... [cut to closer shot] But friends should stick together!

[cut back to normal camera]

Serena: I’m the one who should be apologizing. You came all the way out here, and I wasn’t very considerate of your feelings... You are right. Friends should stick together.
[nickname], we should all go together, right?
[if yes] I knew you’d agree! OK! Shauna, [nickname] and I will go ahead. Stay close to us, OK?
[if no] I know you’re concerned because it’s dangerous. But it would be more dangerous for her to go back alone... Shauna, let’s go together!

Calem: I’m sorry... I wasn’t thinking clearly, and I didn’t consider your feelings. Thank you for coming. Friends should stick together.
[nickname], we’ll all stick together, right?
[if yes] It’s settled then! Shauna, [nickname] and I will go ahead. Stay close, OK?
[if no] I know how you feel. Danger does wait up ahead. But she’ll be much safer if she stays with us, right? Shauna, [nickname] and I will go ahead. Stay close, OK?

Shauna: OK! Thank you! ♪
[talk again] The Kalos region... I’m sure it’s gonna be OK! You two are amazing, after all! I know you can stop them!

Serena: [talk again] The ultimate weapon... What will happen if it’s used?

Calem: [talk again] The ultimate weapon... It’s crazy! People shouldn’t make things like that!

Admin (m): Our plans haven’t succeeded just yet! We cannot afford any careless mistakes!

Flare Grunt (f): Who’s got that flair? Team Flare! Yeah, we’ve got that flair! Team Flare!

Admin (m): [after defeat] Lysandre is like the sun to us! He represents our hope!

Flare Grunt (f): [after defeat] Phlogiston... Extinguished...

Admin (m): [after battle] We worried about an uncertain future, but Lysandre showed us how to get to his certain future.

Flare Grunt (f): [after battle] Who’s got that flair? Team Flare! Yeah, we’ve got that flair! Team Flare!

Serena: Anyway, we have to hurry and stop it!

Calem: We have to stop the ultimate weapon.

Serena: It’s an electronic lock. What should we do?

Calem: An electronic lock... Now what?

Shauna: This might help! It’s a device that helps you when you’re stuck on a puzzle. Clemont gave it to me! An electronic lock and a puzzle are the same sort of thing, right? ♪ [turns back] Ta daa! The lock opened! ♪ Oh! And the device actually broke...

Serena: Amazing, Shauna! You and Clemont’s device are both full of surprises...
[turns to you] So... We’re finally here. The Legendary Pokémon is inside. Let’s go help it!

Calem: Not bad, Shauna! Well, Clemont was the one who made it. But you brought it here! So, I guess both of you are pretty great!
[turns to you] We’re finally here. The Legendary Pokémon is inside. Let’s save it together!

--

Serena: We’re in the deepest part of the headquarters... It’s somehow hard to breathe in here.

Calem: So this is the place... It’s really hard to breathe in here. Feels like there’s a weight on my chest...

Shauna: Hey... Is that thing that looks like a tree the Legendary Pokémon? It doesn’t look like it’s alive, but...

Hey... Is that thing that looks like a cocoon the Legendary Pokémon? It doesn’t look like it’s alive, but...

[admins enter room]

Admin 1 (f): That’s none of your business, kids.

Admin 2 (m): The ultimate weapon has taken 99 percent of the Legendary Pokémon’s energy. But just to make double sure nothing goes wrong, let’s take these runts out!

Shauna: Nooo! I hate being chased! [runs away, chased by a male admin]

Serena: Oh, Shauna... This again? [player]! You take care of things here! I’ll protect Shauna! [runs off]

Calem: It’s the Poké Ball Factory all over again... [player]! You take care of things here! I’ll protect Shauna! [runs off]

Admin 1 (f): Make sure to take care of those runts that ran away! I should’ve expected as much from kids who made it clear down here. It was a pretty simple tactic, but it managed to split us up. That girl’s pretty good!

Admin 3 (m): So, you really think you can beat us?
[after defeat] No way! This puts the “no” in no way!
[after battle] Contact Lysandre! Call for reinforcements!

Admin (f): Do you actually think all living things can be truly happy?
[after defeat] You don’t even try to understand Lysandre and all that he suffers for!
[after battle] One person’s pleasure is another person’s pain, right?

Admin (f): The ultimate weapon is stealing the Legendary Pokémon’s power.
[after defeat] Taking all of the Legendary Pokémon’s life force is an unfortunate necessity to realize our goals.
[after battle] There’s no way everybody can be happy! Each of us has different dreams.

Admin (m): Taking all of the money and stuff for ourselves will make a world where Team Flare is happy!
[after defeat] Are you trying to stop Team Flare from obtaining happiness? What a vile person you are!
[after battle] Not having a ton of money is really stressful, you know...

Admin (m): If you guys think we’ll let you join Team Flare after all this, you’ve got another think coming!
[after defeat] You’re just trying to benefit from our success, aren’t you?!
[after battle] Lysandre is only going to save Team Flare, because we’re the only ones who are truly worried about the future.

Admin (m): No way! This puts the “no” in no way! Contact Lysandre! Call for reinforcements! [admins disappear]

[approach the machine]

Aaaaauh!/Rrrrrh!

[after defeating the Pokemon]

Serena: What a relief... Now they can’t use the ultimate weapon.

Calem: Great! Now they can’t use the ultimate weapon.

Shauna: You’re amazing, [nickname]! A Legendary Pokémon wanting to be your friend like that! It’s unbelievable!

Lysandre: [off screen] What a startling development! I never would’ve thought you were really a chosen one! [everyone turns around; he has a metal device strapped to his back and a visor]
So THIS is the mighty Xerneas/Yveltal?! I expected more from a Pokémon called a legend! You desire help from people? YOU need help from a human?

Shauna: Wh-what’s going on with that outfit! Is that really you, Lysandre? Oh, whatever! [nickname] already beat you! What are you doing here?

Lysandre: [zoom on face] For me, victory is using the ultimate weapon. In order to do that, I need to reclaim the Legendary Pokémon’s power and send it to that weapon once again. I’ll be taking the Legendary Pokémon back now! This time, I won’t lose. I, too, shall use the Mega Ring and Mega Stone that you researched during your travels.

[after defeat] It's over... Fools with no vision will continue to befoul this beautiful world. They will go on until the only thing left to do is squabble over the remaining scraps of hope...
[after battle] Whaugh!

Shauna: Um... Know what I think? Even if there’s only a little bit of something, it’s still best to share it. Even you managed to use Mega Evolution... That’s because Gyarados shared its power with you, didn’t it? And not just Gyarados, but your other Pokémon, too...

Lysandre: [overhead shot] ...

Serena: The Legendary Pokémon is gone, so you can’t use the ultimate weapon anymore, right? You don’t have to worry about the future all by yourself... I think everyone should work together to make a better, beautiful world...

Calem: The Legendary Pokémon is gone, so you can’t use the ultimate weapon anymore, right? You don’t have to worry about the future all alone... Shouldn’t everybody work together to make a beautiful world?

Lysandre: [shot from below, eyes closed] If that were possible, all wars would have ended long ago! I can only see one future! One where selfish, foolish humans think about nothing other than themselves and steal more and more from one another... It’s a tragic future! The original purpose of this device was to bring a Pokémon back to life. But the ancient king transformed it into this ultimate weapon... Hmm. When the Legendary Pokémon awakened, it took back much of its energy--its power-- that had been sent to the ultimate weapon. There’s not much power left... But there IS enough to use it once...

[eyes open, he raises hand]


[player], Sycamore’s pupils... Let us live forever... That’s right! I shall grant you eternal life! I’ll give you the pain of endlessly waiting for a beautiful world to finally be built!
[player], Sycamore’s pupils... The ultimate weapon is a flower that bloomed to no avail... Just like me... But this ends here! I will show you what its remaining power can do!

Serena: [player]! Shauna! Let’s get out of here!

Calem: [player]! Shauna! Let’s get out of here!

[weapon is fired, destroys Geosenge town, withdraws into the ground leaving a massive hole]

Geosenge Town

Blue scarf: Phew... I’m so glad you’re all safe! [turns to group] I really respect the courage and kindness all of you showed.

Serena: Thank you... We’re all fine. Are you guys all OK, Tierno?

Calem: Thank you... We all got out in one piece. Are you guys all OK, Tierno?

Tierno: Yep! As you can see, we’re doing great! Thanks for asking! We worked together to save the Pokémon connected to the stones on Route 10! I mostly left battling with Team Flare to Sina and Dexio, though...

Red scarf: Who are these Sina and Dexio you speak of? We’re the masked heroes!

Blue scarf: Don’t worry about it, Tierno. We were all doing the best we could to stop Team Flare’s plans. Oh, we have a little bit of news for you all. We managed to destroy the machine in Lysandre’s lab that was spying on people’s Holo Caster transmissions.

Trevor: So, we won’t have to deal with Team Flare anymore. Now, I can go back to filling up my Pokédex!

Shauna: So...it’s finally over, right? We can go back to our adventure, right?! Let’s go back to Anistar City and start over from where we left off! [everyone leaves except rival]

Serena: Thank you, [nickname]. I have so much respect for you as a friend. It’s because I respect you that I want to beat you in battle as your rival! I really mean it!

Calem: Thanks, [nickname]. I respect you as a friend. That’s why I want to beat you in battle as your rival!

[rival leaves]

AZ: A long, long time ago. A very long time ago. [fade to black, then back - he is at the edge of the hole]
The man made an ultimate weapon.
Using it required the life force of many Pokémon...
The Pokémon granted eternal life learned this.
[walks to edge] The resurrected eternal Pokémon left the man’s side.
The man was surprised and sad. He had revived it so they could be together...
[turns to hole] Day after day passed, but they were never to meet. Eventually, he became a mere shell of a man.
A man condemned to wander forever by the light of the weapon...
[walks away from hole] And a Pokémon that also wanders eternally...
Where is it now? What do I have to do to meet it? [walks away, fade to black]

Ranger: The stones were there to absorb energy from Pokémon? I guess the theory about them being gravestones wasn’t too far off! Thankfully, they were destroyed, which means no Pokémon have to worry about their energy getting stolen now!

Woman: Huh... Geosenge sure had an amazing thing\nresting below it.\c\nIt’s hard to put into words how amazing\nit was...

Worker: Ha ha ha! There might’ve been nothing but stones here before, but now this town has a big ol’ hole!
