Sage Gaku

  • Before battle
"Legend has it that upon the emergence of a trainer who has the ability to touch the souls of Pokémon, a Pokémon will come forth to put that trainer to test at the Tin Tower. The legend has come true! The legendary Pokémon Suicune has arrived! We, the Wise Trio, shall test your worthiness to go inside!"
  • Being defeated
"Stronger than we thought? Perhaps..."
  • After being defeated
"Ah, so it is you who claim to have seen Suicune, Entei and Raikou while they slept? Unbelievable! Legend has it that they can't be seen while they sleep..."

Sage Masa

  • Before battle
"Can you be trusted with the truth? I must ascertain your worthiness."
  • Being defeated
"...I will tell you the truth..."
  • After being defeated
"In the past, there were two nine-tier towers here. The Brass Tower, which was said to awaken Pokémon, and the Tin Tower, where Pokémon were said to rest. The view from the tops of the towers must have been magnificent. At the time, an immense silver-colored Pokémon was said to make its roost atop the Brass Tower. However... About 150 years ago, a lightning bolt struck one of the towers. It was engulfed in flames that raged for three days. A sudden downpour finally put out the blaze. And that is how the Burned Tower came to be."

Sage Koji

  • Before battle
"Let me see your power!"
  • Being defeated
"Too strong! Why?"
  • After being defeated
"You... Are you the trainer who is awaited by the legendary Pokémon? I see... We, the Wise Trio, have been given the responsibility of protecting the legendary Pokémon. We are to allow passage only to those people who possess the power and soul of truth. Please, do go on and enter the Tin Tower ahead. Suicune will put you to the test."
Tin Tower
"The two towers are said to have been built to foster friendship and hope between Pokémon and people. That was 700 years ago, but the ideal still remains important today."
"When the Brass Tower burned down, three nameless Pokémon were said to have perished. It was tragic. However... A rainbow-colored Pokémon... In other words... Ho-Oh descended from the sky and gave new life to the three Pokémon. They are... Suicune, Entei and Raikou. That is what they say."
"According to legend... When the souls of Pokémon and humans commune, from the heavens descends a Pokémon of rainbow colors... Could it mean the legendary Pokémon are testing us humans?"
"Ho-Oh appears to have descended upon this, the Tin Tower!"
"I believe you are being tested. Free your mind from uncertainty, and advance."
"This will protect you. Take it. Now, go."
  • After the player has caught Ho-Oh
"The legendary Pokémon are said to embody three powers... The lightning that struck the Tower. The fire that burned the Tower. And the rain that put out the fire..."
"Of the legendary Pokémon, Suicune is said to be the closest to Ho-Oh. I hear there may also be a link to Pokémon known as Unown. The Pokémon Unown must be sharing a cooperative bond with Suicune."
"When the legendary Pokémon appeared... They struck terror in those who saw their rise. And... Some even took to futile attacks. The legendary Pokémon, knowing their own power, fled, ignoring the frightened people."
