In the core series games

Pokémon Sword and Shield

Route 4

"Wooloo! Where do you think you're going?!"

"My... Are you OK? You took that Tackle head on..."

"Hmmm? Oh, you must be one of those Gym Challengers, right?"

Yes, indeed!: "Ahhh, I thought so. I saw you at the opening ceremony."

No, I'm not: "Oh please, are you trying to have me on? I saw you at the opening ceremony!"

"My name's Milo. I'm a Gym Leader and rather partial to Grass-type Pokémon."

"I've been itching to see just how good the Champion-endorsed Gym Challengers are... Let me find out at the Gym Stadium! Just head on through this route, and you'll run right into my stadium. See you there!"

"Come on now. Back to the stadium with you, too! We can't keep the Gym Challengers waiting!"

Turffield Stadium

• Before battle

"My Gym's the first one people face, so we get a lot of challengers. That's why I try to keep the Gym mission challenging, but...that didn't stop you from completing it, <player>! Proper job!"

"Sure seems like you understand Pokémon real well. This is gonna be a doozy of a battle! I'll have to Dynamax my Pokémon if I want to win!"

• In battle

Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "Woohoo! We're not going to be done in that easy! We're tough as weeds!"

Upon Dynamaxing Eldegoss: "Come on, then! It's Dynamax time! You're about to be uprooted!"

Upon first using Eldegoss's Max Overgrowth: "This'll really leave you in shock and awe. It's our Dynamax move!"

Upon being defeated: "The power of Grass has wilted... What an incredible Gym Challenger!"

• After being defeated

"That must have been a fulfilling Pokémon battle for you!"

"As proof that you have defeated a Gym Leader for the Gym Challenge, allow me to present you with your very own Grass Badge!"

"You need to obtain all eight Gym Badges in order to complete the Gym Challenge. And the only way to gather the Badges is to defeat every Gym Leader!"

"Some advice for you, <player>. The Gym Challenge has a set order you'll need to follow. So that means your next stop should be in Hulbury to meet Nessa. Hulbury's just beyond Route 5. Or since you're got the Grass Badge, you could head to the Wild Area. It's a bit tricky to catch Pokémon that are a higher level than the Pokémon on your team, but they make powerful allies if you succeed!"

Motostoke

"Not a lot of Gym Challengers are able to get a Gym Badge from Kabu. We like to get together to see them off, as a way of showing our support."

Wyndon Stadium

• During the Champion Cup

• If talked to in the locker room

"My first match is against Raihan of all people? What rotten luck... But even if he changes the weather around, I don't plan on throwing in the towel so easy."

• During Champion Cup rematches

• Before battle

"Don't think I'm the same Milo as in the Gym Challenge! You're the great Champion, after all. It'd be rude not to go all out!"

• In battle

Upon being defeated: "The power of Grass has been wilted... You're quite the Champion!"

• After being defeated

"Soon you'll be the one to face down Gym Challengers aiming for your title. I can't wait to see what talent grows!"

Turffield Stadium

• In the post-game

"Hello there, Champion! So, you came!"

What's going on here? : "I was actually in the middle of an exhibition match with Piers. Then this Dynamax Pokémon came charging in."

"Much obliged, Hop! I'd expect nothing less from a Gym Challenger. I knew we could count on you."

"Hm. Those suspicious characters you saw are concerning... But for now, I think we should get this Dynamax Pokémon to settle down first! I'd be glad for your help against such a tough-looking opponent, Champion <player>."

Of course! : "All right. Then let's head to the pitch."

"Piers might look scary, but he's great at looking after others. He's a big brother, after all. All right, we should get going, too."

• After defeating Dynamax Tsareena

"Phew... Looks like things've finally calmed down a bit."

"I can see your dislike of Dynamaxing still hasn't changed, Piers. But there was definitely something off about that Dynamax transformation..."

"Quite right... Normally, a Pokémon needs to respond to a Dynamax Band in order to Dynamax, but..."

"Did you feel anything unusual, <player>?"

I did : "So you noticed something was off, too. There's no Trainer to be found. This really is a mystery wrapped in an enigma. I'll make sure Turffield Gym takes good care of this Pokémon for the time being. You lot really helped me out here. Thanks for that. Oh, and <player>! If you should ever need my help, feel free to call me anytime."

"All right then. Follow me, little Tsareena."

Isle of Armor

• When first spoken to

"Hello there, <player>! Are you drinking in the Isle of Armor's natural beauty, too?"

"I like to get out here now and again. It's a nice spot for taking it easy, don't you think?"

• If found in the Fields of Honor

"Isn't all this unspoiled nature on the island lovely? Look how cheery it's got little Tsareena!"

• If found in the Forest of Focus

"All this lush foliage makes for such a pleasant forest stroll. I should've packed a picnic!"

• If found on Challenge Road

"Wooloo's got such a fluffy, thick fleece, it could take a tumble from heights like these and still be right as rain!"

• If found in the Courageous Cavern

"OI! Oi...oi...o...i... Don't caves like this make you want to shout just to hear the echo?"

• If found on Challenge Beach or the Training Lowlands

"Look at this great blue sea! If Nessa were here, I bet she'd be over the moon! Not that she'd let it show..."

• If found in the Potbottom Desert

"This is far from the friendliest environment for Grass-type Pokémon, but some plants actually thrive in deserts like this!"

• During harsh sunlight or clear skies

"Harsh sunlight actually livens up some Grass-type Pokémon! But on the other hand, it means they're in for an even worse time than usual if they go up against Fire types..."

• During overcast conditions

"The weather here on the isle is so fickle! It sort of reminds me of battling Raihan, actually. Makes me a tad nervous..."

• During rain or thunderstorms

"Ahhh, nothing like a spot of rain! Time for all the isle's lovely greenery to have a drink."

• During a sandstorm

"My hat's meant for farm work, but it comes in quite handy during weather like this. It's a lifesaver in battle!"

• During foggy conditions

"Oh, it's you, <player>! If you keep running about in this thick fog, you'll slam right into me and go flying!"

Wyndon Stadium (Galarian Star Tournament)

Invitational tournament

• In the lobby

"I've decided to team up with Nessa. If you run into us during the tournament, no need to hold anything back!"

• Field conversation, before the first round

"Just our luck to be matched up against the Champion's team in round one, eh?"

"You can say that again! In that case, guess I'd better really put my back into it and show off a little!"

Subsequent tournaments

• In the locker room

• Before the first round

"It's quite the honor, getting handpicked by the reigning Champion. So let's have a great time together, taking it nice and slow."

• Before the second round

"Everyone out here is really strong. I guess I can't let my guard down just yet! But I'm not too worried. No matter who I'm up against, I've got you with me, <player>."

• Before the final round

"We're finally here at the end. Let's throw everything we've got at our last opponents and bowl 'em over!"

• Field conversations

• Against Hop

"I guess I'd better be ready to be surprised! It's part of the fun of being the first Gym Leader!"

• Against Nessa

"That's what I thought! You've never been one to let type matchups get in the way, Nessa!"

• Against Kabu

"I'll need to watch out for you, Kabu. Don't want you burning all my efforts down!"

• Against Allister^Sh

"That's the spirit, Allister! I'll be rooting for you, even though we're on opposite teams!"

• Against Piers

"Hope you don't mind me Dynamaxing my Pokémon, Piers!"

• Against Raihan

"I guess now's my chance to get even for my defeat in the Finals, Raihan!"

• Against Kabu and Nessa

"It's interesting when you think about it. The three of us are weak against each other's types!"

• Against Kabu while partnered with Nessa

"Not too long ago, we were seeing you off at the station, and now you're the Champion, eh?"

• Against Nessa while partnered with Kabu

"I've been training my legs on the hills of Turffield! Leave it to me to really dig my heels in!"

• On the field, while partnered with the player

• Before the first round, randomly selected

"Well then, shall we get this haystack rolling, <player>?"

"In both battles and farming, it's the first soil you lay down that matters the most!"

• Before the second round, randomly selected

"I think you and I can harvest a victory from the second battle, too."

"Just battling with you seems to perk my Grass-type Pokémon right up!"

• Before the final round, randomly selected

"The two of us working together can tear out any opponent by the roots!"

"Let's make our teamwork blossom into a beautiful victory!"

• In battle, while facing the player

After sending out first Pokémon:

With Nessa: "Your water's got my Pokémon all energized and happy, Nessa!"

With Kabu: "Water and rock can douse flame, but my Pokémon can absorb them both!"

With Allister^Sh: "Hello there, Allister! No need to get nervous. Let's battle at our own pace!"

With Piers: "My Grass-type Pokémon have got your back, Piers! We'll make sure you have center stage!"

Upon sending out last Pokémon: "Time to dig my heels in for my friends! Just need to grow until we can reach victory!"

Upon Gigantamaxing Flapple^Sw/Appletun^Sh: "Grow big and strong—Gigantamax! Time to harvest victory!"

Upon first using Flapple's G-Max Tartness^Sw/Appletun's G-Max Sweetness^Sh: "My moves are grown with care in my garden! Don't let yourselves get knocked flat!"

Upon being defeated: "That was such a fine showing of teamwork that I'm ready to take you both on as farmhands!"

• After being defeated

• In the first round

"You sure are a tough opponent, aren't you? Well, good luck in the next battle!"

• In the second round

"We'll be cheering you on in the final match from the bleachers, <player>!"

• In the final round

"I'll be the first to admit we've been defeated fair and square. Congratulations on your victory!"

• Upon winning the tournament

• First time

"That's just like you, <player>! All my Grass-type Pokémon are delighted with this first-place win!"

• Subsequent times

"Well done, <player>! That's our Champion! I always feel a bit stronger when I've got you at my side in a battle."

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Milo

"Hey, <player>! Come take a look at this!"

"Ever since we arrived on Pasio, Eldegoss's cotton has been looking more beautiful than ever!"

"I guess coming here from Galar's been a good change of environment for him."

"Speaking of which, in case you didn't know..."

"Thread made from Eldegoss cotton is a Galar specialty!"

"That's why Eldegoss is such a familiar Pokémon to the people of Galar."

"I've been with my Eldegoss a long time now, and he's always helping me out!"

"He doesn't just battle with me at my Gym. He also helps me farm!"

"I hope Eldegoss and I can do some farming together here on Pasio, too."

"The soil on Pasio seems fertile, so I'm sure it's worth cultivating!"

• Off-screen

"It's odd, actually. No matter where I go on Pasio, the soil's always ideal."

• On-screen

Maybe because it's an artificial island?: "Wait, really? You mean this island wasn't formed naturally?!"

They brought soil here from all sorts of places.: "What? You mean this island was made?!"

"Wow, fancy that!"

"I couldn't tell! The land and foliage look so natural!"

"They must've had a soil specialist!"

"I'd love to meet them. But I guess that might be tough, huh."

"Just as Eldegoss spreads the nutritious seeds attached to its cotton fluff on the wind so that plants and other Pokémon can benefit from them..."

"I'll bet that specialist is traveling all over the world, enriching the land wherever they go."

"What do you think, Eldegoss?"

"It's a big, wide world here on Pasio. So from now on, let's make the most of it!"

Pokémon Center

• During sync background preview

"Woohoo! We're not going to be done in that easy! We're tough as weeds!"

• Random conversation

"I'm the Gym Leader of Turffield—a quiet, easygoing town surrounded by farming fields."

"But it also has some mysterious standing stones and a geoglyph, so we get a fair number of tourists as well."

• Random conversation

"I'm the first Gym Leader people face in the Galar Gym Challenge."

"But when I'm up against a newbie Trainer, I can't help but want to treat them gently and help them grow like a new sprout..."

"That makes for pretty low difficulty, which I suppose is perfect for the first Gym, huh."

• Random conversation

"In both battling and farming, having a solid foundation is key."

"In farming, that means preparing the soil! In battling, I guess the equivalent would be daily training and research, maybe?"

"In order to bloom beautifully, you've got to be patient and prepare diligently!"

• Random conversation

"Nessa and Kabu are good friends and rivals of mine."

"The types we specialize in balance each other, so we always try to support each other."

• Random conversation

"Farming is a job that's full of surprises. I think the same applies to Pokémon battles and life in general, too."

"<Player>! When you run into obstacles, you've got to be tough as weeds!"

"As long as you never give up, you'll find a way to work things out!"

• Random conversation

"I've been farming with my Pokémon from a very young age."

"As a result, I grew up big and strong, and I've been able to hone my teamwork with my Pokémon!"

"Interested in farming with your partner Pokémon, <player>?"

• If spoken to again

"Back in Turffield, I take work nice and easy."

"I get to roll hay and run after Wooloo... Doesn't that sound fun?"

• Random conversation

"I've been able to have loads of serious battles here on Pasio."

"That's partly because there’re so many strong Trainers here that I don't have to hold back against..."

"But also, I just naturally go all out when I step in to protect others from troublemakers like Team Break."

• If spoken to again

"I can't go all out in battles against newbie Trainers, but even those are quite fun!"

"You have to battle carefully, as if raising and watching over a sprout..."

"all while hoping they grow big and strong!"

• Special log-in conversation (generic)

"Hey there, <player>. You've been working hard today."

"It's time to harvest the fruits of our training!"

• Special log-in conversation (morning)

"Have you had breakfast yet? I always give thanks for all the food that nature has provided before I eat."

• Special log-in conversation (afternoon)

"Pasio may be an artificial island, but it sure has great soil. I bet I could grow scrumptious Berries here!"

• Special log-in conversation (evening)

"People are just like plants. We need plenty of nutrients and good sleep to grow! Wait, do plants sleep?"

• Special gift conversation

"Would you like this, <player>?"

• After giving out item

"I found it when I was working...but I figure you'd make the item happier than I ever could!"
