 * Kalos Power Plant
 * First meeting
 * "If you're just interested in the facts, I'd say we already have enough energy to power the device."


 * "What other work do you mean? Perhaps you mean taking out that annoying little Pokémon Trainer over there?"


 * "Ah ha ha! It would be my pleasure. Come on, little Trainer! Let's see what you've got!"


 * Before battle
 * "Allow me to introduce myself, intruder. My name is Aliana. As you can see, I'm one of Team Flare's Scientists. I'm researching a certain something that you wouldn't understand, anyway. Unfortunately for you, I've been charged with the simple task of your elimination."


 * Being defeated
 * "You're quite strong. Oh yes--very strong, indeed."


 * After being defeated
 * "Ah ha ha! Well, I certainly didn't expect you to be so interesting! I do hope we can meet again!"


 * Lysandre Labs
 * Before battle
 * "Ah ha ha! Why, if it isn't that fascinating little Trainer from the Kalos Power Plant. So we meet again, just as I said we would!"


 * Being defeated
 * "You sure are an interesting Trainer. You're far more capable than our useless Grunts."


 * After being defeated
 * "I don't have the key, but I'll let you pass. But which warp panel could it be? Which one cooould it be?"


 * If talked to again
 * "I had fun at the Kalos Power Plant. Of course, we could have generated electricity with Team Flare's technology, too, you know. We just didn't think it justified the cost. To create a world for us and us alone, we have to play it smart, you see."
