"Would you kindly demonstrate how you and your Pokémon battle?" "I'll turn you to stone! And add you to my collection!" "Afternoon! I prefer to get my chores done early in the day. It helps keep things efficient!" "I always get a bit sleepy in the afternoon. If I'm not careful, I... *yawn* I might not be able to stop yawning." "I want to figure out why certain things become popular. What is it about them that makes so many people go crazy? It's important to be eager to learn, no matter what the topic is. The same goes for applying that knowledge to your Pokémon battles." "If you're lost, just take a look at the direction Nosepass's nose is pointing. Nosepass's nose is highly magnetic and is always pointing in a certain direction." "I've been given the opportunity to instruct some more junior Trainers. I'm having trouble thinking of what sort of problems I could give them that would make for an enjoyable, educational experience. I'm thinking of doing a hands-on lesson. I thought that escaping a cave such as this one would be a good start, but I haven't thought of what should come next. I've asked Nosepass for advice, but she just stays quiet and faces north. Her magnetic nose is always facing north, and she can also control magnetism. If you lose your way, as long as Nosepass is with you, you'll know roughly which direction you're headed. When you're on a journey, her behavior can be quite useful!" "I'm close to Brawly, the gym leader of Dewford Town's gym. He is quite a chill guy and loves surfing with his Hariyama." "Stones have the potential to last forever, so they can contain all kinds of thoughts. A stone can get passed on to different people and Pokémon, all of their feelings accumulating... So even an ordinary-looking stone can carry a stupendous story!" "When you actually take to time to examine things and feel them with your own hands, you can learn more about them. And places like museums give you that opportunity. That's why we must cherish them." "At the Rustboro Gym, we have minerals and fossils on display, just like a museum. Of course, collecting stones is my hobby, but... I want the students of the Trainer's School to learn something there, too." "I have a friend who shares my keen interest in collecting stones. His name's Steven, the champion of Hoenn region. He's known for his serious expression, but when it comes to rare stones or Steel-type Pokémon, his eyes light up. He gets animated, and his expression changes, showing an unexpected charming side." "Do you like to study? I absolutely love it! The more I learn, the more I feel that I am polishing myself... very much like a rock being polished into a gem, and I love that feeling." "You were flawless. You're a role model for Trainers. The way you battle makes it hard to put it any other way. I can understand why you won! I want to learn even more about you!" "I learned many things from our battle." "Oh, hello? This is Roxanne of Rustboro City. I heard from Brawly that you're moving up through the ranks of Trainers at an incredible clip. Well, I'd rather not think that I can't beat you. I promise, I will shape up my Gym so that you may challenge us again. I hope you'll be looking forward to that occasion as much as me!" "Hello, I am Roxanne, the Rustboro Pokémon Gym Leader. I became a Gym Leader so that I may apply what I learned at the Pokémon Trainer's School in battle. Would you kindly demonstrate how you battle, and with which Pokémon?" "So… I lost… It seems that I still have much more to learn… I understand. The Pokémon League's rules state that Trainers are to be given this if they defeat a Gym Leader. Please accept the official Pokémon League Stone Badge." "I don't need a break! I love to learn. But I do want to learn more about Pasio. Rumors say that there are buildings with fossils in the walls... Uh, no! It's nothing. Forget I said anything!" "Would you like to study with me? The romantic secrets of the rocks? For example, the fossils buried in the walls... Even living creatures become rocks! Learning is wanting to know more. That is what is important. Let's study the mysteries of Rock-type Pokémon together!" "To be able to talk with me this much... Are you, by chance, a rock maniac like me? How splendid! Please be my rock pal! I have to introduce you to Steven, too! He's also my rock pal! Please come by the Rustboro Gym sometime and battle me! We'll use our best Rock-type Pokémon!"
