Calem/Cheren Path - Deciding Extracurricular Activities Clubs, huh? Right now I'm leaning towards...
---The art club.
...the art club.
I've always thought it'd be cool to learn how to draw and paint. I've never used a pencil for anything other than writing words and numbers.
Looking to add new skills to your repertoire? That's a good attitude you have, <name>.
If you think you'd like a crash course in fine arts, give me a call. My parents practically forced me to take art lessons when I was a child.
Calem is quite a talented painter, you know? You should see some of the pieces he's created.
Thanks, but they're really nothing special.
---The gardening club.
*Affection point gained with Bianca*
...the gardening club. It sounds like a place where I can really chill out and relax for a couple of hours.
Right??? It'd be soooo soothing winding down after a long day of classes!
That does sound very relaxing. If I make it onto the tennis team, I might drop by during my breaks.
Yeah! And I heard that they take care of Pokemon, too! I wonder if they'd let us bring some home for ourselves?
---The theatre club.
*Affection point gained with Serena*
...the theatre club. My mom took me to see a Pokemon musical in Nimbasa City once when I was a kid and it left a huge impression on me.
I'm curious to find out how they set up the plays so meticulously.
Yes, the Nimbasa Musical Theater has some excellent showings! Your mother has very good taste, <name>.
Which department are you thinking of joining?
Department? You mean like sanitation or...?
...No. Like the stage crew, choreographers, pit orchestra...did you not know about this?
It doesn't matter. What's important is your decision to join the club at all.
---The tennis team.
*Affection point gained with Hilda*
...the tennis team.
I played a little bit of it back in middle school, so I should be fine for tryouts.
Cool. What kind of player were you?
Uh, I was pretty average, I think. Nothing really special.
No, I mean like were you a pusher? A baseliner? Or were you perhaps an all-rounder?
An all-rounder...maybe?
Wow! It's been a long time since I've met an all-rounder player.
Want to have an exhibition match after class?
Uh, maybe not today. I, uh...tweaked my leg this morning. The nurse told me not to do anything for a while.
Really? Huh. That's too bad. Some other time then.
---The battle team.
Even though I know a certain someone is also interested in it, I feel like it'd be a really cool team to be a part of.
Not to mention getting a chance to participate in the National Tournament.
...the battle team. It sounds a little scary, but it looks like something I can really find myself invested in.
Hm, are you experienced with Pokemon battling?
I wouldn't call myself a master, but I know a thing or two.
As a kid I participated in scrimmages with others and the Pokemon we had around town.
But have you ever battled competitively? You can hardly call yourself a Pokemon trainer until you've experienced an official match.
Hilbert has a point.
Battling for sport is nothing compared to battling on a competitive level.
I've seen some of the upperclassmen trainers here, and their Pokemon are around the same level as those you'd face in the Pokemon League.
If I were you,
I would put off trying out for the battle team until you have a competitively experienced Pokemon party. I should have figured that Hilbert and Hilda would know their way around Pokemon training.
If competitive battling is as big a deal as they make it sound, I should consider my options seriously.
Brendan/Tierno Path - Scared Of What? Hm. Let me think...
---Losing my friends.
*Affection point gained with Leaf. And probably May.*
The worst thing I can think of that can happen to me is if I lose my friends.
Especially you guys.
Awww! That's so sweet!
<name>! I'm so glad you consider us such good friends!
Uh...
Dude...we've only known each other for a few days and you're saying stuff like that?
You're weirding me out to new, new levels here!
Hey! Shut up, you friend-hater!
Yeah! <name> means it!
All right! All right! I was just kiddin' around!
---Failing to achieve my dreams.
One of my biggest fears is if I end up leaving this world without getting to accomplish my goals.
It'd feel like my life was a completely wasted effort.
Trevor: I understand what you mean. That is also a fear that has passed through my mind on more than one occasion.
Trevor: The prospect of passing away with a regret as heavy as that is quite frightening.
Hey, we're only teenagers! We still have like a hundred years to live!
Trevor: A hundred...?
Scary stuff like that can wait until we're adults. Let's enjoy life while we can!
Trevor: If that is what you believe, I cannot argue.
Trevor: There is not one correct way to live by, after all.
---Growing old.
I'm not looking forward to getting any older.
It scares me knowing that these are supposed to be the best years of my life, physically speaking.
Right? If things are hard the way they are now, I can't imagine how hard they'll be in the future.
I don't think it'll be all bad, but thinking about every new responsibility that I'll have gives me epic migraines!
But that's why I'll never grow up! I'm a kid at heart now and I'll always stay a kid at heart!
That's not gonna fly once you're out in the real world, you know.
You should try and get used to being an adult early so it won't be so hard in the future.
Hey, we just got into high school! Let us hang onto our last bit of innocence for a few more years, 'kay?
Whatever lights your Litwick, man.
---Spinaraks freak the hell out of me.
*Affection point gained with Shauna*
I was never really fond of Spinaraks or any of those creepy-crawly Pokemon.
Whenever I see one of those near me, I can't help but get a little jittery.
Ugh, I know! The way they move makes my skin crawl!
Not just Spinaraks! Once my mom took me to a petting zoo and there was a HUGE Galvantula that jumped on my back...
What kind of petting zoo has a Galvantula in their-
-and I screamed SOOOO loudly! I was like, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!
Waugh!
Whoa, okay! We would've gotten the picture without you actually screamin'.
Trevor: You don't like spider Pokemon? I've always found their forms quite appealing.
Ew, no! They're so gross!
What about other Bug Pokemon? Do you find them gross?
No, only the spiders.
Their tiny beady eyes and the way they skitter around, just...BLECH!
Trevor: That is a pity. They are very interesting Pokemon once you have the opportunity to study them up close.
---Nothing gets to me! NOTHING!
Me, scared? You kidding? It's me, <name>!
I don't even know the meaning of that word!
Expression increased! Ha! I knew it!
I mean, it's really obvious that you're telling a joke, but that's cool, too.
Nah, I believe him! Just look at that man's face! That is downright savage right there!
So I guess this savage man forgot about the time he got lost in the-
HA HA! AH HA HA! That's enough about me! Moving on!
Brendan/Tierno Path - Talkin' Bout Clubs Clubs, huh? Right now I'm leaning towards...
---The coordinator club.
*Affection point gained with May*
...the coordinator club. That sounds really fun.
Really? Are you a coordinator, too?
I'm no expert, but I remember my mom taking me to a lot of Pokemon Contests when I was a kid.
Back then, I thought being a coordinator was the coolest job in the world.
Ha ha! And it still is!
Oh, yay! You'll fit right in with the coordinator club!
I can't wait to see what kind of Pokemon you'll use!
---The cheer team.
*Affection point gained with Shauna*
...the cheer team. Did you know I used to be part of a cheer squad back in primary school?
No way!
But now that you mention it, I can totally see you wearing a happi and hachimaki screaming, OSU! OSU!
I didn't go that far-
Wait, but if you're joining the cheer squad...then that means you'll be joining the same club as me!
Yeah, I think so.
That is AWESO-OOOO-OME!!
---The photography club.
...the photography club.
I'm not at all familiar with photography so it'd be cool to learn something new in this school.
Trevor: Truly? I didn't expect photography to interest you in such a way.
Trevor: That is a very good mentality, <name>. Gaining new experiences and skills is something I believe to be critical for success.
Trevor: I hope to see you in the club someday!
---The dance club.
...the dance club.
That sounds really cool. I can't remember the last time I did anything close to dancing.
For real? Woohoo!
This is gonna be suh-weet!
Just you wait, dude, this club is gonna take off before you know it!
Soon the entire school's gonna want in on the sick dance moves I got planned for us!
Hey, now that <name>'s on board, are you sure you don't want in, Leaf?
Yes.
Dang, you answered so fast that it kind of hurt my feelings!
...Mine, too.
---The outdoors club.
*Affection point gained with Leaf*
...the outdoors club. That sounds chill. And the thought of being stuck on campus all day for the whole year doesn't sit well with me.
Yes! That's exactly why I'm joining, too.
Can you imagine spending half the day stuck inside school? I sure can't!
It's suffocating. I need to have a change in scenery every once in a while or I'd lose my damn mind.
YES! Me and you are on the same wavelength, <name>!
Hmmmmmm...?
What are you 'hmm'ing about over there?
Noooothing~!
---The battle team.
Even though I know a certain someone is also interested in it, I feel like it'd be a really cool team to be a part of.
Not to mention getting a chance to participate in the National Tournament.
...the battle team. It sounds a little scary, but it looks like something I can really find myself invested in.
I was thinking of joining too, eventually.
But I think it's a little early to be thinking about that. Didn't you hear what Bruno and Alder said?
Trevor: I agree. We should listen to our teachers.
Trevor: Not to be overly disparaging, but I think
it's too far out of reach for new students like us. Hey, I think it's cool that <name> is thinkin' of the battle team. More power to you, man!
Yeah! And if <name> wins the National Tournament, won't it be so cool to tell everyone that he's our friend?
Oooh! We'd be friends with a celebrity!
Hey, <name>! Make sure to get to the National Tournament and win one for us, buddy!
You two sure know how to inspire somebody.
Electives DialogueGenuinely unsure how to format this LOL. Alphabetical order I guess, with different dialogue options listed below. There's a ton to cover here and I dunno if I'll be able to do every possible combination but in the end I hope to be fairly comprehensive as a general kind of guide. I'm not gonna post like everybody's possible combinations. So for example you might see Blue's dialogue if this is your 2nd elective with him only on Dragon and not Water for instance, I don't wanna copy paste too much. If you're looking for specifics try Ctrl + F I suppose for either the elective or the character.
Bug(if you only know Trevor and not Bianca)
As I look around the room, I see Trevor sitting dead center up front.
Hey, Trevor.
Trevor: Hello, <name>. I had almost forgotten you were taking this class.
Trevor: Won't you take a seat?
Don't mind if I do.
(if you know Bianca and not Trevor)
Hmm, I could've sworn Bianca was talking about the bug class, but I don't see her anywhere.
Maybe she's running late.
(if this is your 2nd class with Bianca)
I'm heeeeeeeeere! Am I late?
Nope, just in time actually.
Phew! That was really close!
Later on after Bianca shows up...
I should start keeping an eye on Bianca after class in order to make sure she doesn't wander off too much.
Dark(if you know Cheren and Serena aka Calem/Cheren path)
I take a look around the classroom and see Serena and Cheren sitting at the front of the room.
Cheren's writing something down in his notebook and Serena has her nose in a book.
You'd think that they would want to talk to each other if they're sitting together.
Hey, Serena, Cheren.
<name>! What a pleasant surprise.
Good to see you here.
That was a warmer welcome than I expected
I wonder when their opinions of me became so high?
Dragon(if you know Shauna and this class is first)
I see two familiar faces with widely contrasting expressions.
<Blue's nickname> silently glares at me while I wave to Shauna.
Hiii, <name>!
As bubbly as ever.
There's not a chance in hell I'm sitting by <Blue's nickname> so I'm sitting next to Shauna.
(if this is your 2nd class with Blue)
...You again.
Not this. Anything but this.
As much as I love watching you squirm, I'm getting real sick of seeing your face so much, <name>.
Trust me, the feeling is mutual.
I wait for him to say something, but he doesn't speak up.
(if you know Shauna and this is your 2nd class)
Following me closely the entire way from the cafeteria was Shauna.
<name>!! Sit with me! Sit with me!
I don't have a problem with that.
ElectricGeneric "I'll sit between them" dialogue if you know both Leaf and Tierno. Tiny dialogue alteration if you know Tierno or not when Surge confronts him.
Fairy Let's see who's in my class this-
Yo, <name>!
Hey, Whitney. You're in this class too?
Heheh! You bet!
Come sit with me!
I'll catch up.
(if you know Shauna)
Only a couple of seats away from Whitney is Shauna, who is waving wildly to me.
If I didn't know any better, I'd think the two of them are related or something.
Hi, <name>!! Sit over here!
All right, all right. I'm coming.
Sandwiched between two absurdly energetic girls. What can go wrong?
Fighting I spot May near the front and we wave to each other.
Calem Path -
(if you were in Calem's class previously)
Further up is Calem, who's sitting in the front row again.
He gave me a quick nod as I approached.
Hello again.
Hey. We'll be seeing each other a lot this year, won't we?
I'm counting on you.
(Brendan/Tierno Path - if this is your second class with May)
For the entire way here, May had a huge grin on her face.
Hello again, <name>!
I bet she was waiting the whole time to say that.
(Calem/Cheren path, if May is in both electives with you)
<name>, long time no see!
Looks like May's in my class again.
--Both above paths continue here.
So, homeroom, gym and both elective classes. I hope you don't get tired of me showing up so much in your life.
What are you saying? I'm super happy!
I can tell this is gonna be a great year for both of us!
May seems genuinely excited that we have both of our electives together.
I'm sure her optimism's going to slowly rub off on me.
Fire I see Flannery sitting near the back of the room. I don't think she realizes I'm here. (alternative text is "I don't think she noticed me walk in")
May spots me right away and we wave to each other.
(if you know Serena and May)
May and I wave to each other and Serena flashes me a quick smile.
(Brendan path, if you have May in both your classes)
On the other hand, I see May waving excitedly at me.
Hey, <name>! What a coincidence!
It's not much of a surprise if you told me what electives you were choosing before classes start, you know?
(if you know May well aka Brendan Path)
Oops! You're right, I did tell you. But the important thing is that we have two classes together!
Yeah. You looking forward to it?
You bet!
(if you know Serena)
Near the side of the class, I see Serena.
(if you have two classes with Serena)
Hello, again. This is quite the coincidence.
Is it a good coincidence?
Serena didn't say anything in response, but she's giving me a smile.
(if you don't know Serena)
I can barely keep my eyes open listening to this guy prattle on.
I'm feeling really tired all of a sudden.
A wave of exhaustion hits me and I can feel myself falling asleep.
My head slowly tips forward as I drift into unconsciousness.
Gah! Did the person behind me just kick me?!
As I turn around, I see a sophisticated-looking girl staring at me.
I don't know what to say, so I stare straight back at her.
...What?
Uhhh, did you need something?
I'm simply doing you a favor.
What might that be?
Do you really think it's acceptable to fall asleep in class on the first day?
Was it that obvious?
Oh, that's what you were doing. Sorry, I appreciate the help.
Don't mention it. I can see why you would feel a bit drained listening to all of...this.
No kidding.
Oh, where are my manners? My name is Serena.
I'm <name>. Nice to meet you.
The pleasure is all mine.
FlyingCalem Path -
I see Calem jotting down something in his notebook in the front row.
I dunno exactly what he's writing down, but he looks really into it.
Yo, Calem!
Oh, <name>. Fancy seeing you.
(if you know Calem and Skyla, aka Skyla was in your other elective already)
I scan my eyes across the room and see Calem jotting down something in his notebook in the front row. A few seats over, I see that Skyla girl from the other class.
She must've noticed me looking at her 'cause she responds with a big smile.
Skyla: Hi, <name>!
H-Hey!
I don't know what happened, but she sounded so sincere that I felt my face burn up.
The Skyla dialogue is the same no matter your roommate if this is your first time meeting her. If this is your 2nd class with her, no phone mishaps.
Ghost(if this is your 2nd class with Trevor)
Hey, would you look at that. Trevor's in my class again.
And he's sitting all the way at the front like last time.
Trevor: Hello again, <name>.
You really want to get a good look at the teachers, huh?
Trevor: Yes, well, it is either a close look or no look at all. There are not many people's heads that I can see over, unfortunately.
Oh...yeah. I see what you mean. Must be tough.
Trevor: Don't worry, I am used to it.
(Meeting Sabrina in this class)
Whoops. Dropped my pencil.
*Pencil starts levitating*
Wha-
Who-who-
Clearly my brain is trying to play tricks on me, but my eyes are telling me this girl's levitating a pencil.
Is there a rogue Ghost Pokemon in this room? Is she some kind of esper or something?!
...You dropped this.
Oh-oh. That's my...my pencil.
...
*silence*
...Well? Do you want it back or not?
Yes! Sorry! Thank you...um...
...What?
I, uh, didn't catch your name.
Sabrina.
Thanks, Sabrina. I'm <name>.
...Um, how long have you been practicing magic tricks?
...
...Right.
Well, I'll just, uh...turn back this way...
My heart's about to jump out of my chest. I felt like my life was in danger just by talking to her.
GrassYou'll quickly pick out Leaf, and Brendan if you met him previously. You sit between them as they both want you to sit next to them. Not recording this as it's fairly generic dialogue that plays pretty often when there are two friendly people you know in your class. If this is your first class with her, Gardenia will be introduced to you here. I don't have a picture for her.

*if this is your second class with Leaf*
And before I knew it, Brendan's already lounging at his seat while Leaf's grinning widely at me.
Class together, again? If I didn't know any better, I'd say you must really have a thing for me!
Pull up a chair over here, buck-o!
I quickly grab a seat next to Brendan. (if you don't know Brendan it's something to the effect of "I sit in the seat furthest away from her."
Hey!
*if you know Brendan*
What's up, dude? Are you and Leaf havin' a spat or somethin'?
A what? No, we're not having anything.
Oh, really...'cause from here it sorta looks like you're avoidin' her.
Then yes, that's exactly what I'm doing.
Ground I see Flannery sitting near the back of the room, so I give her a little wave.
She must have missed me coming in 'cause she straight up ignores me.
On the other side I see Brendan already settled in.
(if Brendan is your roommate and this is your 2nd class with him)
Isn't this great? What can be better than having so many classes with your roommate?
Now whenever one of us decides to skip class, the other guy can just pass on the notes and stuff!
Yeah, it's pretty convenient.
Flannery falls asleep regardless of what you do. There is a tiny alteration in your thoughts if this is your second class with her, as she falls asleep in both.
Ice(Note this dialogue occurs if this your only elective with Hilbert, and the other class referred to must be homeroom in that case. This dialogue is way of introducing yourself to him if you haven't done so already.)
Hilbert's in my class again.
I didn't get a chance to say anything to him last class, but considering we share so many classes, I should try and make friends with him.
Hey.
Hello.
I'm <name>. You're Hilbert, right?
It's crazy how our schedules are so similar.
I guess it is.
...
...
All right, catch you later!
Yyyeahhh...there'll be other opportunities to make acquaintances, I hope.
(if you know Misty)
On the other side of the classroom, I catch Misty looking at me.
What gives? The second I try to make eye-contract, she averts her gaze.
I don't think I'm that unattractive, so maybe she just really doesn't like me.
NormalYou pick out Whitney. If you know Cheren you'll pick him out, and wonder where Bianca is if you know her.
Yo, <name>!
Hey, Whitney. You're in this class too?
Heheh! You bet!
Come sit with me!
I'll catch up.
*if this is your 2nd class with Whitney*
Yoo-hoo! *name*, over here!
Whitney! This makes it, what, every class pretty much?
Crazy, right? It must be our destiny!
Destiny to what?
Why, to become the best of friends, of course! Sit down over here, buddy!
Cheren Path -
(if this is your 2nd class with Cheren)
Hey, Cheren. Class together again.
Yes, but this is no surprise.
Yeah. Great minds think alike, or something like that.
Heh. Indeed.
By the way, where's Bianca? Isn't she supposed to be in this class?
That is a good question.
I wouldn't worry about it though. That girl always manages to show up regardless of how lost she is.
I'm heeeeeeeeere! Am I late?
There you have it.
(if this is your 2nd class with Bianca)
Hey, Cheren. Is Bianca late again?
Yes, she is. How did you know?
I remember her saying she was taking this class before.
And...she was kind of late to the last one I was in with her.
You catch on quick.
I'm heeeeeeeeere! Am I late?
Barely.
For the last time Bianca, you need to manage your time better or you'll cause trouble for everyone else.
But you didn't even wait for me!
Well, I didn't say I was going to let you cause trouble for me.
PoisonYou can meet Gardenia here.
*if you don't know Hilda and this is your 2nd class with her*
Aw man, it looks like I don't know anyone here.
But I recognize that girl with the ponytail from last.
I think she said her name was Hilda. She looks like she keeps herself guarded, but I don't really know anyone else in this class so I should try and make friends as soon as possible.
Hey, Hilda.
...Do I know you?
Oh, uh, no you don't.
But I'm <name>. I was in your Steel class.
I see.
...
Well, nice meeting you!
So much for that.
*if you know Hilda and this is your 2nd class with her*
We didn't exchange any words while traveling here from the cafeteria, but it looks like Hilda's in my class again.
Hey, Hilda. Looks like we have a lot of classes together this semester.
Right.
Not much of a reaction, just like last class.
I wonder if she thinks of me as a nuisance.
Is something wrong? You look troubled by something.
N-No, it's nothing.
Maybe I'm thinking too much.
PsychicIf this is your first class with Skyla the dialogue with her is always the same. Sabrina's dialogue the first time you meet her is the same as in the Ghost elective, listed above with a 1-2 line difference from Red as her abilities make more sense in this context.
*if this is your 2nd class with Sabrina*
I scan my eyes across the room and see that Sabrina girl from the other class.
If I wasn't imagining what happened before, I think I'd like to keep my distance for now.
Just looking at her gives me chills. She kind of reminds me of those ghost ladies you see in foreign horror movies.
Later on...
So what you're telling me is that Sabrina is an esper.
I sneak a peek in her direction.
While everyone else was focused on Will, Sabrina's expression didn't change one bit.
Is she just unimpressed? Is she even paying attention?
I can't tell.
Even later...
Ow! What the...is someone flinging pencils?!
I'm sorry.
Eh?
...
I slipped.
Um. Right.
Uh...
Y-You know, I mean, I know now that you're an esper and all...
But at first I thought there was, um...a Ghost Pokemon that followed us from our last class.
...Playing pranks on us. Heh heh. Funny thought, right?
There are no Ghost Pokemon currently in this room.
Oookay, then...
I, uh, guess that's about it...
*pencil flies at you*
WAH!
Geez, that almost hit me again!
I am not okay with getting harassed by telekinesis all semester!
Rock Oh, I see Tierno.
He's completely absorbed in his music, so I'll leave him alone.
Tierno/Brendan path
Tierno sat down near the back of the room, his headphones on the entire time.
He's got his volume up really high. I can hear his music playing all the way from here.
(If Tierno is your roommate and this is your second class with him)
Yo, Tierno?
Hey, TIERNO!
Huh? Oh, hey, <name>! There you are!
We got the same class again? Awesome!
Come on, we were walking together the entire way from the cafeteria.
You're gonna bust your ears with music that loud.
I doubt you'd be able to hear a bomb go off in the room with those headphones on.
Ha ha! My mom says that all the time, but I can't help myself.
This song's too good to not blast! Want a listen?
I'd like to keep my ears from breaking, thanks.
Oh, oh! I saved a seat right here for you, buddy!
You shouldn't have.
Red will also think "Every class?" during Tierno getting caught by the teacher listening to music the second time.
How do you do it, Tierno?
What do you mean?
Come on! I mean, how do you just get away like that?
I'm still not sure what you're gettin' at, <name>!
Grant: Hey! What did I just say about distractions?
Whoops.
Steel(if you know Hilda and Hilbert)
I take a good look around the room and see Hilbert and Hilda talking by the side of the classroom.
(if and you had lunch with them)
They didn't say much while we traveled here from the cafeteria, but it looks like they're talking about something serious now.
From a distance, they look like a married couple keeping their voices down during an argument.
Maybe I'm overthinking it. I don't know anyone else here anyway so I walk over to join them.
Hey, guys.
Oh...<name>. I didn't realize you were taking this class.
Well, it seemed kind of interesting. That's the same reason why you guys are taking it, right?
Not really.
All right, fair enough. What about you, Hilda?
I...I have my reasons.
Is it me, or was there a hint of concern in her voice?
WaterIf you know Misty -
I see two familiar faces that don't seem very excited to see me.
<Blue's nickname> silently glares at me while I wave to Misty.
*Misty and Blue glare at you.*
What did I do this time? All I did was put my hand up.
If you don't know Misty -
My god. Of all the people to be in here.
That look on your face is priceless.
Sad you're never gonna be the best as long as I'm here, right?
There are plenty of other schools you can transfer to. It's not too late to save yourself from being number two for another year!
So he thinks he can just one-up me in class like that?
Yeah, right. I'm not coming all this way just to quit.
That cocky expression of his is becoming his trademark look.
H-Ha! We'll just see about that!
Huh? What was that? Is Blue worried? Might've just been me but I could've sworn-
