"My Pokémon may appear frail as the breeze, and delicate as a bloom, but looks can be deceiving. Ah... I've always wanted to be a Pokémon."

"Oh, if it isn't a young Trainer... So you've flown all the way through my Gym, fluttering down to me on a fortunate wind. Then I suppose you have earned yourself the right to a battle, as a reward for your efforts. I am Valerie, who leads this Fairy-type Gym. I hope your visit will prove entertaining to you. The elusive Fairy types may appear frail as a breeze and delicate as a bloom, but they are strong."

"Nothing good comes from being hasty. Try taking a deep breath... Stop and smell the roses. I had a dream I was a Pokémon last night. It was wonderful... Wait, what if this is the dream and last night was reality?"

"I'd love to design some new patterns based on your Pokémon's aesthetic. Would that be all right with you? My long, fluttering sleeves are like the wings of a butterfly Pokémon, don't you think? giggle"

"I hope the sun is shining tomorrow... That would be reason enough to smile."

"Oh goodness, what a pity..."

"Nothing good comes from being hasty. Try taking a deep breath... Stop and smell the roses. I had a dream I was a Pokémon last night. It was wonderful... Wait, what if this is the dream and last night was reality?"

"Sometimes people ask me if I ever stop smiling, and I have to wonder... Do I smile even while I'm asleep? No need to push yourself tonight, young Trainer. Tomorrow, the sun will shine and give us a new reason to smile."

"I like Fairy-type Pokémon. I thought up these clothes thanks to Fairy-type Pokémon. I wanted to be as graceful and elegant as they are. Fairy-type Pokémon are more than just cute. They're mysterious and powerful creatures. I wonder if there's a word for that..."

"My partner Pokémon is truly elegant, don't you think? Back when he was an Eevee, he was so round and cute. I cared for him every day, and we were always together. The day Eevee evolved into Sylveon was a clear and beautiful one. Sylveon was sparkling in the sunlight."

"I've been thinking. Every Trainer shares something in common with their partner Pokémon, in one way or another. I wonder if Sylveon and I are a sync pair because we're similar to each other. The Trainers here on Pasio all seem to have come with Pokémon that share similarities with them."

"I have designed many clothes in the past, but the clothes I liked to make the most are kimonos. My kimonos was influenced by the clothes wore by the people in Johto, my home region."

"If you became a Pokémon, I wonder which one you'd be. I think you'd be a compassionate Pokémon that gives everyone a reason to smile. If I ever did become a Pokémon too, I'd be happy if we would keep being friends as Pokémon."

"I designed the clothes I'm wearing with my desire to become a Pokémon in mind. Whether in design or in Pokémon battles, learning from the strengths of others is the way to grow into the ideal you. Recently, I've been observing your techniques in battles. Watching other people, you start to see their good and bad points. I wonder how we Trainers look to our partner Pokémon... If I were your Pokémon, I think I'd see a lot of good things about you!"
