Advanced League Dialogue

After returning to Othlon after beating the Advanced League tryouts

• Receptionist: Congratulations on passing the tryouts! And you're defeated some tough contenders to do so, which is all the more impressive!
• Receptionist:: The format is the same as the Rookie League, but this time you will fight 5 battles instead of three.
• Receptionist:: The Advanced League will be held in Urdwel Arena. Good luck on your match tomorrow!
• --As you leave the Trainer Alliance Headquarters, you run into Makisa.
• Makisa:: Hey! So you got into the Advanced League too? I'll be looking forward to fighting against your team again.
• Makisa:: ...You don't look too happy.What's wrong?
• --You describe your encounter with Thale, and his vendetta against your uncle.
• Makisa:: ...So you did run into that jerk. Well, good job beating him, serves him right!
• Makisa:: Don't worry. Hector Finnegan wasn't a man to wrong anyone intentionally. I have full faith in his innocence.
• Makisa:: ...You don't seem convinced. Let me tell you a little story then.....
• Makisa:: ...When I was much younger, a fire broke out in my home.
• Makisa:: My parents and I got out safely, but my pet monster was still inside.
• Makisa:: I managed to escape my parents' grip and ran back in to rescue my friend.
• Makisa:: I found him soon enough... But then the house began to collapse. I thought this was the end.....
• Makisa:: That's when a trainer came to my rescue, bursting into the burning building with one of his monsters. He quickly got us out!
• Makisa:: my parents scolded me for my foolishness. But my rescuer actually praised me. He said I'd make a great trainer.
• Makisa:: That man was Hector.....

Before first league battle

• Yulina: I saw you fighting in a Rookie League match. I was quite impressed by your team's performance!
• Yulina:: Still, I didn't expect to see you here so soon.....this is going to be a tough battle, isn't it?

After winning first league battle

• Yulina: ....You'll go far in the Monster Leagues, I can tell.

• --Walking home, you encounter Makisa.
• Makisa:: How did your first Advanced League match go?
• --The two of you walk together, sharing your experiences in the new league. Then, Makisa sees a crowd of people up ahead.
• Makisa:: I wonder what that's about... Let's check it out.
• --An audience has gathered around a man with a lyre.
• Bard:: Gather round, gather round! Come hear the legend of the Hero, the glorious tale of our Empire's birth!
• Makisa:: It's a traveling bard! This ought to be interesting.....
• Bard:: Long, long ago, the islands of the Empire were still separate nations, with separate peoples.
• Bard:: This was an age of grandeur for humanity, who had attained a level of prosperity and knowledge far beyond our wildest dreams!
• Bard:: ......But then, the First Ones awoke from their long slumber!
• Bard:: Emerging from lairs deep underground, these terrible titians laid waste to humanity and all it had created.
• Bard:: Nations were razed, cities reduced to ashes, and many people died. All seemed lost......
• Bard:: This was when one brave soul stood up to save humanity--the legendary Hero!
• Bard:: He went from island to island, gathering monsters to create the most powerful team ever seen.
• Bard:: With his monsters, the Hero faced each First One in deadly combat. Each battle was brutal, but our Hero persevered!
• Bard:: Eventuall, he was able to defeat every single First One--even their leader, Atrahasis!
• Bard:: The Hero sealed them all somewhere deep underground, and the First Ones have slept there ever since...
• Bard:: But the Hero's task was far from over. He united the surviving peoples under his leadership to begin rebuilding their world.
• Bard:: From the ruins of the previous nations, he forged an empire... the Empire of Verosia!
• Bard:: Thus the Hero became our first Emperor. Under the guidance of the Hero and his dynasty, the Empire has prospered to this day.
• Bard:: And that, dear audience, is the legend of our first Emperor, Leonitus Gaius Veros I.
• --The bard bows as the audience applaudes.
• Makisa:: Bravo! That was pretty good, don't you think?
• Makisa:: Is the story true? Of course not! It's just a myth to emphasize the greatness of our First Emperor.
• Makisa:: There's no such thing as the First Ones. They're just stories parents tell to scare their kids.
• Makisa:: My dad would tell me how Atrahasis would come for me if I misbehaved. It used to frighten me witless!

Before second league battle

• Kevir: ...Young trainer, are you a relative of Hector Finnegan?
• Kevir:: I thought so. You look a lot like him. Let us see if you can fight like him!

After winning second league battle

• Kevir: This was a good battle, like my battles with Hector years ago. It's a pity he insisted on moving up in the leagues.
• Kevir:: In my humble opinion, becoming the Grand Champion is... overrated, shall we say?
• Kevir:: Follow in Hector's footsteps if you want, but you should never forget what happened to him......

Before third league battle

• Makisa: Hey there, rival! Hope you're ready to lose today....
• Makisa:: A friend of mine is watching today's match. I'm not about to let her see my team getting defeated!

After winning third league battle

• Makisa: Awww, I was hoping to show off to my friend...
• Makisa:: Of course, I didn't really expect you would give me an easy time.

• --Leaving the arena, you see Makisa talking to someone.
• ????:: Too bad about today's match. The enemy team really hammered your monsters.
• Makisa:: Well, my opponent wasn't your average trainer. I wouldn't be surprised if this team takes first place...
• Makisa:: Speaking of which, here comes my rival!
• Makisa:: Thanks for another great match! Let me introduce you to my friend Emsara.
• Emsara:: Hello, nice to meet you. I watched your battle today. It was quite spectacular! Emsara's family runs a bakery in downtown Othlon. You should check it out, it's the best in the city.
• Makisa:: Even the Dowager Empress occasionally sends someone to buy pastries there!
• Emsara:: Makisa, that's just a rumor.
• Emsara:: I take pride in my family's business, but I can't guarantee it lives up to Makisa's flattery.
• Makisa:: Emsara, this trainer is actually related to Hector Finnegan. I have Hector's successor as a rival!
• Emsara:: Hector's successor......?
• Makisa:: That's right. This trainer is trying to redeem Hector's legacy.
• Emsara:: I see......I wish you success. I really do.

Before fourth league battle

• Satara: Pssst! Hey, take a look at the seats behind you.
• --You scan the audience.
• ????:: .........
• --Sitting alone directly behind you is a tall and stern-faced man, gazing coldly at the arena.
• Satara:: That's Beritus Argvel, the Grand Champion himself, the greatest trainer alive!
• Satara:: I wonder why he's watching some lowly Advanced League match. Maybe he's here to see me fight!

After winning fourth league battle

• Satara: Maybe the Grand Champion had come to watch you.....

Before fifth league battle

• Thale: Hmph! We meet again, just as I had hoped! I will avenge my previous defeat here and now!
• Thale:: But I seek more than just payback. I'll do my best to keep you from progressing in the leagues...
• Thale:: Hector Finnegan's successor does not deserve to go any further than this!
• Referee:: Trainers, please summon and ready your monsters. Referee: Ready? FIGHT!

After winning fifth league battle

• Thale:: Defeated again!? My team was fighting at full strength this time.
• Thale:: I have no excuses for this loss...is Hector's successor my superior?
• Thale:: ......All the better. When I finally defeat you, it will be all the more satisfying!

After results screen

• Referee: Congratulations to the top two teams of this season!
• Referee:: These teams have earned a spot in the tryouts for the next stage, the Elite League!
• Referee:: The tryouts will take place on the Tropical Isles. Each winning team will be given a free travel pass to go there!
• Referee:: Like the previous one on the Desert Island, you are to defeat 4 other trainers. Spare no effort in finding opponents.
• Referee:: Here is a map of the Tropical Isles, marked with the locations you'll likely find other participants. Take a careful look!
• Referee: For the Elite League and beyond, you can have up to 16 monsters in your team.
• Referee:: We look forward to your continued success!
• --Makisa greets you at the exit.
• Makisa:: Congratulations on advancing to the Elite League Tryouts!
• Makisa:: I feel happy for you, but I'm a bit sad you're leaving me behind.
• Makisa:: This won't be the last you'll see of me though. I'll catch up with you, just you wait!
• Makisa:: ...I need to become the Grand Champion. I can't afford to stay stuck in this lowly league.....
