Route 224

"I... I don't like to talk... I choose my words carefully, but they may still hurt someone accidentally... When I think of that, I clam up... That's why I think this certain Pokémon is so wonderful. It's a Pokémon that conveys the feelings of gratitude in a nice way..."
"That stone tablet... It has a strange feel to it..."
"Thank you... That must have been the Pokémon that conveys the feelings of gratitude... You made it so I could see it... So, I'll have to convey thanks in my own words, too..."
"To you, too... Thank you..."

Story Event - Shining Star
  • Part 1: A Surprise Opening Act
"So popular..."
"Elesa sounds so cool..."
"I wonder if she would want to chat with me, too..."
"Quirky?"
"Are those...puns?"
"Hehe... Maybe she'll be easier to talk to than I thought..."
"Hehe... Muk-ery."
"Oh, I'm...Marley. I'm a Pokémon Trainer."
  • Part 2: A Dramatic Intro
"There's...no end to them..."
  • Part 3: A Head-Spinning Twist
"Um, I don't think that's quite what he meant..."
"It looks like the arrow might be pointing down at something..."
"Hang on a minute... Isn't that Will...of the Indigo Elite Four?"
  • Part 4: A Genuine Supermodel
"Will, right? Of Elite Four fame?"
"Hm? What do you mean?"
"Arcanine, let's help Elesa carry her set pieces."
"... ... ..."
  • Your Best Self
"That was a great show, Elesa."
"Um...Elesa? Can you teach me how to be more like you?"
"I...have a hard time talking with people..."
"I sometimes hurt people's feelings when I speak honestly... Even if that's not my intention..."
"I'm jealous of how you can be so dazzling without holding anything back."
"Huh?"
"Thank you, Elesa."
"I think I found my answer. But if I need advice again, would you mind if I come ask you?"
"Parley with Marley... Ha ha..."
Story Event - Beachside Rivalry
  • Shoot for the Cool Factor
"Mallow, we have two orders... One Z-Set and one curry, please."
  • Pop-Up Rivals
  • Off-screen, as "???"
"Hi, Marnie."
  • After appearing, as Marley
"Are you...practicing how to smile?"
"I wouldn't think that at all! Look at how hard you're working!"
"That little girl who cried earlier today was just a little startled–that's all."
"You're such a hard worker, Marnie."
"I'm not good at expressing myself, either. So I think I understand how you feel."
"Well... I figured it'd be more fun to give it a try rather than just turn it down because I'm not good at it."
"Would you mind if...if I practiced smiling with you?"
"*chuckle* Sure. I'll do what I can!"
"Marnie...these people are feeling bad for what they did."
  • A Splash of Inspiration
"I'll see you later. I have to join Marnie now."
  • Off-screen
""You can't force a smile.""
  • After appearing
""You can find other ways to get more customers. Ways that are better suited for you!""
"Gloria told me to tell you that."
"I think that's exactly why she's telling you this."
"She also wants to compete with everything she's got. That's why she's giving you this advice."
"You two really are great rivals for each other."
"I was wondering... Is there anything that makes you smile naturally?"
Story Event - Tiny Courage, Big Thanks
  • For the Courage They Gave Me
"... ... ..."
"Oh... Hi, Mallow..."
"Yeah..."
"I was hoping to give Elesa and Marnie presents..."
"Yeah... They both gave me courage..."
"And helped me change for the better... At least a little."
"Oh, um... If possible, I want to give them something different..."
"They'll probably get plenty of sweets from others."
"But I'm not sure what would be good..."
  • A Gift from Erika
"What is this place?"
"They look after all these flowers?"
"Oh, wow... That's amazing..."
"Look at this one. It's so big and pretty..."

"That really made me jump... I didn't realize it was a Pokémon..."
"Oh, is it?"
"Huh, I see..."
"Mallow... When you said you have an idea, did you mean—"
"Yeah... Marnie and Elesa..."
"I want to thank them for giving me courage..."
"Give me?"
  • A Shy Shaymin
  • Wearing her Palentine's outfit
"D-do I look OK?"
"Oh, what are these?"
"It's amazing... Are you sure I can keep it?"
"Thank you, Erika..."
"Not really... I don't really know much about flowers, to be honest..."
"... ... ..."
"Oh..."
"To me?"
"... ... ..."
  • A Bittersweet Distance
"Yeah, I was able to find the ones you told me about."
"... ... ..."
"Oh, um... I was wondering if Shaymin was still around somewhere."
"Shaymin..."
"Oh..."
"Should I leave it alone?"
"(Maybe Shaymin doesn't know what to do either.)"
"(And if that's true...)"
"All I need to do is give these to them..."
  • Off-screen
"Oh, it's back..."
  • On-screen
"What do you mean?"
"That smells so nice..."
"But..."
"I think..."
"Shaymin is kinda how I was a while ago..."
"I found it really hard to speak... I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings by saying something wrong, so I kept my mouth shut..."
"But to tell the truth, I was just afraid of my own feelings being hurt..."
"I didn't want anyone to dislike me..."
"I thought it better to do nothing—better to stay the way I was—than to risk getting hurt."
"Maybe Shaymin feels the same way..."
"We can't force it to do anything, but we can give it courage..."
"Yeah..."
"Just like Elesa and Marnie gave to me..."
  • Off-screen
"(Elesa encouraged me...)"
  • In flashback
"Would you mind if...if I practiced smiling with you?"
  • Back to present
"(And Marnie accepted me for who I was...)"
  • On-screen
"Now it's my turn. I want to give courage to Shaymin."
"I want it to see how much fun it can be to spend time with someone!"
"So, I'll express my gratitude to Elesa and Marnie..."
"And I'll show Shaymin how I can share my feelings with them!"
"Thanks!"
  • Off-screen
"(Just wait and see, Shaymin...)"
  • Flowers That Express Gratitude
"... ... ..."
"Thanks!"
  • Off-screen
"(Watch me, Shaymin...)"
  • On-screen
"Yeah..."
"Um, so... I wanted to tell you both how happy I was."
  • Off-screen
"Elesa, when I couldn't express my feelings well, you gave me words of encouragement."
"Thanks to those words..."
  • On-screen
"I'm now able to express myself, even just a little..."
  • Off-screen
"Marnie, you became my friend."
"You accepted me when I finally tried to open up a little, and you practiced smiling with me."
  • On-screen
"That made me so happy..."
"Thanks to both of you, I was able to change for the better..."
"So...here's something special for my friends..."
"Thank you, both!"
"I'm...always down to parley!"
  • Wearing her normal outfit
"It was thanks to all your help!"
"Now it's my turn to help you all. Let's make a beautiful flower field together!"
"I'm afraid not... I haven't seen it since..."
"Yeah."
"Shaymin!"
"But..."
"OK..."
"... ... ..."
"(I can sense Shaymin's feelings.)"
"Nice to meet you, too!"
"Thanks, everyone..."
"Um, we're actually going to make a flower field here."
"Would you like to help us, Shaymin?"
  • A Secret Message
  • Wearing her Palentine's outfit
"Hi, <player>... I'm glad you came..."
"Um... Sorry to ask you to come here."
"I'm still not quite brave enough to give you a gift in front of everyone..."
"Here... I want you to have this..."
"Thank you for always battling with me..."
This is for me?: "Yeah, of course."
Is this for Palentine's Day?: "Yeah... Today's a day to express gratitude."
"By getting stronger with you here on Pasio, I found more courage..."
"So... I want to thank you for that."
"Erika showed me how to make this bouquet."
"Each flower has its own meaning...and the entire bouquet carries a message."
What's the message?: "Um...well... Try looking it up yourself..."
It's beautiful!: "Hehe... I'm glad you like it..."
"Huh? You want to know what I'd like in return?"
"Hmm... I hadn't really thought of that..."
"I don't need anything... But I guess that's not the answer you want, is it."
"Um... Let me think..."
"I'd really like...to spend some more time with you, if you don't mind..."
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Marley
"... ... ..."
"Do you want me for something?"
You startled me.: "I didn't think anybody would be out here."
What are you doing out here?: "I was talking with my partner Pokémon."
"I just wanted some time alone with Arcanine."
"It's noisy outside of the forest... We can't talk if it's noisy."
Sorry to bother you./I'm probably distracting you. Sorry.: "No, it's OK. Rather..."
"Thanks."
What? Why?/Uh...: "I mean...thank you for being considerate..."
"I try not to apologize too much."
"You feel better being thanked than being apologized to, right?"
"Do you...understand what I'm trying to say?"
Yeah, I get you.: "Good, that's a relief."
I kinda don't get it.: "*sigh* ...Words are difficult."
"I'm...very scared of conveying my feelings in words..."
"Even if I don't mean to, I end up hurting people."
"But I have so many things that I want to tell them."
"That's why I want to take as much time as I can to talk with Arcanine."
"Arcanine..."
"I can't... The words don't come out."
You can do it!/You don't have to push yourself!: "This is still too fast for me."
"I'm not confident that I can communicate well."
"But..."
"I know what I have to do in these situations."
"A certain Pokémon taught me..."
"that all you need to do is say thank you and give a flower to somebody you love."
"It told me that that would be enough."
"I was thinking of going to find some flowers, but what do you think?"
"Am I expressing myself all right? *giggle* I'm glad."
"I really appreciate you following me. Thank you."
"One of these days, I'll make sure to thank you properly."
"I love you, Arcanine. Please stay with me always."

  • If spoken to again
"No matter how far away he is, he'll always come if I call him..."

  • Random conversation
"Weavile is a Pokémon you can find in the Sinnoh region..."
"And a friend of mine... We traveled together."
"It has sharp claws, but it's actually quite sweet and playful. I think it's adorable!"
"If you ever come across a Weavile, it would make me happy if you'd show it some affection, too."
  • If spoken to again
"It's nice to touch the cool body of Weavile when it's warm out."
"But it doesn't like it if you touch it too much..."
  • Random conversation
"If a Trainer doesn't give good commands, Pokémon get hurt in battle..."
"That's why I want to get better at battling."
"And it's fun for me and my Pokémon when we battle with you."
  • If spoken to again
"What I can do is just a little..."
"But I used that little bit of strength and got here."
  • Random conversation
"I... I don't like to talk because I'm afraid I will accidentally hurt someone with my words."
"That's why I choose my words carefully... But then my responses take too long."
"But I don't mind talking to you like this."
"I think it's because you listen to me..."
  • If spoken to again
"Perhaps you're interested in me?"
"If so, I'll share a little bit more about myself."
  • Random conversation
"I think I like Pasio... There's so much good food and fun things to do."
"Most importantly, I get to battle with so many Trainers..."
"Being close to you, I feel like I can get stronger..."
"I might have said some embarrassing things."
  • If spoken to again
"It's truly difficult to say what you mean..."
"That's why I think it's wonderful to be able to be genuine with your words."
  • Random conversation
"Arcanine is always with me when I go on an adventure."
"He has taught me so much."
"That's why...I want to give him something special..."
"If I win the PML, will that be a good gift for him?"
  • If spoken to again
"I've been with my Arcanine since he was a Growlithe..."
"He comforts me. I don't feel lonely on adventures if I'm with him."
  • Random conversation
"I don't like to talk, so I've always kept my distance from people."
"But...you've always been there for me, even when I kept my distance..."
"And I started to enjoy talking...just a little..."
"I want to get better at talking because I want to know more about you."
  • If spoken to again
"I've always chosen my words carefully so as to not hurt anyone."
"I wonder if I can stop worrying about it so much when I get more comfortable talking..."
  • Random conversation (Palentine's 2025)

"Shaymin are Pokémon that express feelings of gratitude."
"I wish I could be like Shaymin..."
"Actually, I shouldn't just wish... I should do it!"
  • Random conversation (Palentine's 2025)
"Spending time with you warms my heart, <player>..."
"I wonder why. Maybe it's because you're such a kind person..."
"This feeling is so unusual..."
  • Random conversation (Palentine's 2025)
"Do you know about Gracidea flowers?"
"They're wonderful flowers that can be used to convey gratitude..."
"Other flowers have their own unique meanings... Or so I'm told."
"I didn't know much about all this before, but Erika taught me a lot..."
  • If spoken to again
"If you have trouble expressing your feelings with words, flowers can help."
"I think that's amazing..."
"But if flowers don't cut it, we'll have to try our best with words!"
  • Random conversation (Palentine's 2025)
"It can be hard to express your feelings..."
"But trying is what matters."
"So...I'll try my best."
