Pokémon Legends Arceus

 * Adaman: Look who's being punctual! Finally realized you're wasting Almighty Sinnoh's precious time by bowing to a sham?
 * Irida: There you go again, insisting on your false image of Almighty Sinnoh as a ruler of time!
 * Irida: My people follow the true Almighty Sinnoh - the font of all creation and ruler of space!
 * Adaman: Hah! You could have all the space there is and still not know what to do with it.
 * Irida: Excuse me? Are you really suggesting that you make better use of your time than we make of vast Hisui's space?
 * Adaman: Better than some! It's a miracle you showed up on time. Oh, mighty leader of the Pearl Clan.
 * Adaman: I worried you'd get lost in the pointlessly vast space you're so fond of and never show up.
 * Irida: *fanning herself* Me, get lost? In Almighty Sinnoh's great gift to the Pearl Clan - in our world's very basis? You wish!
 * Adaman: I wish that I hadn't let myself get dragged into arguing with you. Almighty Sinnoh, forgive me. What a waste of time! I'm off to Commander Kamado's office!
 * Irida: I believe it was you who started this! -Adaman and Irida, when they're first introduced in the main game

"You can feel the tension when those two show up."

- Rei/Akari to the player, about Adaman and Irida

"You haven't met them, haven't you? The woman with the reverence for space is Irida - leader of the Pearl clan. The man who was going on and on about time, Adaman, leads the Diamond Clan. The Diamond Clan and the Pearl Clan grudgingly coexist at the moment. Apparently, things used to be less peaceful."

- Rei/Akari, about the two clans

"That's the point. My clan can't intervene where a lord of the Pearl Clan's concerned. If my people were to do something, our two clans might end up back at each other's throats - just like we used to be."

- Adaman, about not wanting to start a fight


 * Irida: Who, then? Would the Diamond Clan have the Pearl Clan bring down one of its own honored nobles?
 * Adaman: I don't believe I said that…Thought it, maybe.
 * Irida: You might as well have said it, you fool!
 * Irida: Look, we don't even know what drove Lord Kleavor into such a violent frenzy.
 * Adaman: I'd like to know that myself. This is a first as far as my clan knows, too. -The two clan leaders, about the frenzying Kleavor


 * Irida: You'd send this stranger, who supposedly fell from the rift, to study Kleavor? This newcomer with no experience?
 * Adaman: Says the leader with almost no experience.
 * Irida: Being a good leader isn't a matter of time - it's a matter of embracing Hisui's vastness without fear!
 * Adaman: Well, then, there you have it. If how new you are doesn't matter, let's give the kid his/her chance. -The two, about the player


 * Adaman: This should be fun. I'll get to see how good you Galaxy folk really are, with all your weird ways - putting Pokémon in those strange balls and what have you.
 * Irida: That whole practice bothers me! Almighty Sinnoh made Hisui vast so Pokémon could live freely throughout. We're meant to stand alongside Pokémon, not count ourselves above them! -The two, about the Galaxy Team using Poké Balls

"And, the truth is, we in the Diamond Clan have a similar problem on our hands. A Pokémon dear to us, off in the mountains, has flown into the same type of frenzy as Kleavor. Now, there's certainly bad blood between us and the Pearl Clan. But, still…we've all got to share Hisui, and that means we ought to tackle our problems together."

- Adaman, about not wanting to exacerbate their conflict


 * Adaman: Isn't it nice to getting early?
 * Irida: Is it? It's not as if getting up early changes what you can do with the day,
 * Adaman: Yes, it does! It opens up possibilities…such as responding to Commander Kamado's invitation today in a timely manner!
 * Irida: Well, I got the same invitation, and I had to wake up even earlier than you to run all the way here for it!
 * Adaman: Come on, no need to grouse so much over a nice little early wake-up. -The two, about their morning routine

"Avalugg may be the Pearl Clan's noble, but my clan and the Galaxy Team will have to step up to resolve this, too - *faces Irida* for the sake of a brighter future!"

- Adaman, about working with Irida


 * Irida: [player]! Brisk out here, isn't it?
 * Adaman: *looks at her outfit, shakes head* How aren't you freezing?
 * Irida: *fans herself* Freezing? I'm practically sweating.
 * Irida: *fanning herself* If you think this is bad, just wait. This is nothing compared to where we're headed.
 * Adaman: *shakes head* You know, I'm beginning to think the problem between us isn't a Diamond Clan thing or a Pearl Clan thing. It's just a you-and-me thing. We'll never see eye to eye on anything, will we?
 * Irida: I don't see how we could, as long as you and your clan cling to your vision of an Almighty Sinnoh that reigns over time.
 * Irida: Forgive my bluntness, but if such a being even does exist, it's certainly not Almighty Sinnoh.
 * Adaman: *faces Irida* Yes, yes. Believe what you want. Just tell us where we have to go.
 * Irida: *faces Adaman* We're headed to see my teacher, and he's only ever found in one place.
 * Adaman: Which is?
 * Adaman: You're talking about that Gaeric fellow, right? Where do we find him?
 * Irida: At Avalugg's legacy, obviously! Where else but a great mass of ice could I have meant when I said we'd be headed somewhere even colder?
 * Adaman: Where else, indeed.
 * Adaman: Ready to go, [player]?
 * Irida: Sure! Stomp off without me!
 * Irida: This is why I can't stand people who only care about whether time is passing them by! -Adaman and Irida, about seeing eye-to-eye


 * Adaman: Well, that was a real slog. Fighting through those miserable icy winds to reach this desolate bit of nowhere. (sarcastically) Well done, us.
 * Irida: This gentleman is Avalugg's warden and my most honorable teacher, Gaeric.
 * Irida: So, show some respect, Adaman! -The two, after reaching Avalugg's quarters


 * Adaman: Eternal Ice, is it? For that, you'll have to be able to fly - which means you need Braviary.
 * Adaman: Long story short, you've got to seek out a young lady named Sabi!
 * Irida: Tell the long story long! You're not saving any time if we waste it puzzling out what you mean!
 * Adaman: Isn't Avalugg one of the Pearl Clan's lords? Seems a bit odd for me to do the talking…
 * Adaman: But, fine. Listen up - this Eternal Ice stuff can be found atop Avalugg's Legacy here. But, to get there, you'll need my clan's help.
 * Adaman: Not even a Sneasler can climb this surface, let alone a person like you or me. You're going to have to approach by air - with Braviary's help. -Adaman helping explain, on behalf of Irida


 * Adaman: So, is that space-time rift going to start closing up now, or what?
 * Irida: There's little way of knowing for sure. Though, the rift does seem perhaps a little smaller, somehow.
 * Adaman: Let's hope so, anyway.
 * Adaman: Well, with any luck, things will settle down now…
 * Adaman: Although, even if the rift does start spitting out more of that strange lightning, we should still be all right as long as we've got [player].
 * Irida: Indeed, we should. It's good to have him/her at our side. -The two, about the rift in the sky


 * Adaman: *faces Irida* You know something, Irida?
 * Adaman: We may never agree on who's got it right about Almighty Sinnoh. But, you Pearl Clan folk aren't all bad in my book.
 * Irida: *faces Adaman, smiles* Look who's finally seen reason! -Adaman's confession


 * Adaman: I've managed to reassure my people for now. The wardens are keeping a close eye on their nobles, too. Seems all's quiet for the moment. And, so…here we are!
 * Adaman: But, still…we'll never get away with openly aiding you.
 * Irida: If we were to undermine the commander's direct orders, relations would grow…strained.
 * Adaman: *faces Irida* Long story short, we want to help, but without drawing attention. So, it'll just be one of us.
 * Adaman: Me or her - it's up to you. Though, the answer should be obvious! -Adaman and Irida, working together in secret


 * Adaman: *faces Irida* Alright, Irida…you and [player]…
 * Adaman: Well, you two do what needs doing.
 * Irida: *faces Adaman, nods* -If the player chose Irida


 * Irida: *faces Adaman* I'm counting on you to handle this, Adaman. Don't cause [player] more trouble.
 * Adaman: *faces Irida, nods* -If the player chose Adaman


 * Adaman: You'd better take that Red Chain up to the top of the moutain.
 * Adaman: That Pokémon threatening to descend on the peak any moment now… I think…it may be the Almighty Sinnoh.
 * Adaman: But, all this has to be stopped, and you're the only one who can do it!
 * Irida: Almighty Sinnoh seems to be nearly here. But, still, the commander obstructs us… -The two about the day of Armaggedon, if the player chose Adaman


 * Irida: You've bought the Red Chain?
 * Irida: [player], you're the only one who can stop whatever is unfolding atop the mountain.
 * Adaman: That Pokémon that's apparently been sighted through the rift… I…I think it may be the Almighty Sinnoh.
 * Adaman: But, Commander Kamado stopped up from heading toward the temple. -The two about the day of Armaggedon, if the player chose Irida


 * Adaman: Come on! Now's the time, use the Red Chain!
 * Irida: W-wait… What…what is this?
 * Irida: There's a voice in my head-no, in my…heart? It's speaking to me!
 * Irida: "You hold…the Red Chain… Try to catch me, then!"
 * Adaman: Woah, Irida! Do you hear what you're saying? "Catch you"?!
 * Irida: A-almighty Sinnoh? I think Almighty Sinnoh may be speaking to me!
 * Irida: It's telling me… "You hold…the Red Chain… Try to catch me, then! For the fight to come!" -The two about the Almighty Sinnoh's telepathy, if the player chose Adaman


 * Irida: It's time to use the Red Chain! Let's see what it can do!
 * Adaman: Hold on a sec…
 * Adaman: My head…something's talking…inside my head!
 * Adaman: "You hold…the Red Chain… Try to catch me, then, human!"
 * Irida: A-Adaman? What are you saying? What do you mean "catch you"?!
 * Adaman: Almighty Sinnoh? I-i think Almighty Sinnoh just spoke to me!
 * Adaman: It's telling me… "You hold…the Red Chain…Try to catch me, then, human! For the fight to come!" -The two about the Almighty Sinnoh's telepathy, if the player chose Irida


 * Irida: He/She…caught it…right? He/She caught the Almighty Sinnoh!
 * Adaman: The Red Chain's been shattered. But…we've still got the Pokémon of the lakes to thank for getting this far! -The two about the player catching Palkia


 * Adaman: He/She caught it!
 * Irida: The Red Chain has shattered…But, we owe the Pokémon of the lakes our thanks for getting us this far. -The two about the player catching Dialga


 * Adaman: But, commander-!
 * Irida: We can't just leave it here!
 * Kamado: Ya dunce! Ya won't be any use to anybody if ya die up here on this mountain! -Kamado to the two clan leaders


 * Adaman: Woah, woah. Slow down. Did you forget the Red Chain broke?
 * Irida: We'll be alright - armed with the knowledge mighty Palkia impaired to me!
 * Adaman: "Palkia"? The Pokémon that talked to you?
 * Irida: Yes! It told me its name - but, that's not all. zit also told me this…
 * Irida: "The stone of creation's beginning. The chain of red. The vessel of humankind's invention. Unite these three, and calm the chaos now disturbing the flow of time."
 * Irida: And, then, mighty Palkia must go with us back to the temple, it said.
 * Adaman: Well, that "chain of red" is in pieces now. But, if little bits will do, I gathered those. -The two about the group's next move, if the player chose Irida


 * Irida: We're still not through it! How is he/she to keep fighting? The Red Chain has shattered!
 * Adaman: Relax. I've got a plan…thanks to what mighty Dialga told me!
 * Irida: "Dialga"? The Pokémon that spoke to you?
 * Adaman: Yeah, and, along with its name, it also told me what we need.
 * Adaman: "The stone of creation's beginning. The chain of red. The vessel of humankind's invention. Unite these three, and calm the chaos now pervading space."
 * Adaman: And, finally, mighty Dialga said it wants to go with us back to the temple.
 * Irida: Well, the Red Chain we have, at least! The pieces, anyway. I did collect them. -The two about the group's next move, if the player chose Adaman


 * Adaman: Now, that you mention it. That Volo fellow's come around the Diamond settlement asking about those plates before, too.
 * Irida: This seems like a lead worth following! -The two, about Arceus' plates

"Melli, give it a rest and play nice with the Pearl Clan folks for once, would you? Bigger things are at stake here!"

- Adaman, defending Irida's clan from Melli's insults


 * Irida: What we seek may be as precious as treasure. But, this isn't about how valuable it is - we need it to restore this awful sky to normal!
 * Coin: Ugh! That earnest goody-two shoes act of yours is what made me leave the Pearl Clan in the first place!
 * Adaman: Enough! I don't care why any of you ran off to play bandit. But, I won't let you get in Lian's way.
 * Adaman: There are three of you and three of us, let's go. -Adaman, taking offense on Irida's behalf


 * Adaman: Honestly, those three…What did they even come here for? Oh, well. I'll heal up everyone's Pokémon.
 * Irida: The Coin that I remember never hesitated to help someone in need, even if she groused as she did so.
 * Irida: I suspect they may have been…worried about us. Perhaps, even wanting to help…
 * Adaman: Then, they should've just said so! What a pain they are, hiding behind all that attitude… -The two, about the bandit sisters


 * Adaman: Come on, Mr. Professor… wish they'd hurry up in there…
 * Irida: I'm starting to suspect all your prattling about the value of time is a cover for your own impatience.
 * Adaman: If sitting back and waiting actually solved things, I'd sit forever. Because, that’d be using time well, unlike this. -Irida, about Adaman's hastiness


 * Irida: W-wait, please! I hear something… that voice is speaking to my mind again.
 * Adaman: You mean Palkia?
 * Irida: Yes…it appears that mighty Palkia is willing to lead its strength to us in this battle
 * Adaman: Now, that's what I like to hear!
 * Adaman: The Pearl Clan's Almighty Sinnoh - well, I guess I should just call it Palkia - is one fierce Pokémon! -Adaman complimenting the Pearl Clan's revered lord, if the player chose Irida


 * Adaman: Woah! Hold on, it's that voice. I hear it in my head again…
 * Irida: You mean Dialga?
 * Adaman: Yeah… seems like mighty Dialga's willing to lend its strength to this fight. That's what it's telling me.
 * Irida: That's certainly excellent news!
 * Irida: The Diamond Clan's Almighty Sinnoh - or, perhaps, I should say Dialga - is fearsomely powerful. -Irida complimenting the Diamond Clan's revered lord, if the player chose Adaman

"Time can not be severed from space, nor space from time."

- Cogita, about the two's beliefs


 * Irida: [player], in all of vast space, your place has found you.
 * Adaman: What the world does that mean?
 * Irida: It's a Pearl Clan saying.
 * Irida: It reminds us that occasions we must rise to are also stages where we may prove ourselves - where we might shine our brightest.
 * Adaman: So, basically, you're saying not to feel nervous?
 * Adaman: I'm starting to see the appeal of how you Pearl Clan people think. In some situations, anyway. -Adaman complimenting the Pearl Clan's motto, if the player chose Irida


 * Adaman: Hey, [player] - let's meet tomorrow together.
 * Irida: What's that supposed to mean?
 * Adaman: It's a saying we've got in the Diamond Clan. It means you hope you'll both stay safe.
 * Irida: Hmm… Perhaps, it's worth listening to what the Diamond Clan has to say, sometimes, as well. -Irida complimenting the Diamond Clan's motto, if the player chose Adaman


 * Irida: Celebrate…with the Diamond Clan?
 * Adaman: The two clans together, huh…
 * Adaman: Well, since it turns out we were both following a true Almighty Sinnoh of our own…
 * Adaman: I guess, the times when we'd fight over whose was wrong or right are ancient history, now!
 * Irida: I'm sure our ancestors would be shocked to see us agree. But, this may well be the best path toward protecting the space we all share! -Adaman and Irida, finally seeing eye-to-dye

Official Audio Drama
NOTE: The audio drama is only available in Japanese, as such, the translations are done by the fans.


 * Adaman: Hey, where are we?
 * Irida: This… doesn't look like the Hisui Region.
 * Adaman: You mean we've been sent to an unknown place all of a sudden?
 * Irida: Something like this can only happen if… It must be!
 * Irida: A trial from the Almighty Palkia!
 * Adaman: A trial from the Almighty Dialga!
 * Adaman: Ah?
 * Irida: Huh?
 * Adaman: Let's stop, there's no point wasting time arguing.
 * Irida: Right, first we should think about what to do.
 * Irida: This place…both the sky and the climate are different. We must have crossed the sea to a faraway land…So…
 * Adaman: What are you saying? Look at the buildings in the distance. There's no way those could be made with the existing technology in our era. We must be in the future.
 * Irida: Huh?
 * Adaman: Ah?
 * Adaman: …we're doing it again.
 * Irida: Yeah…let's cool down and chill out a bit. -Part one of the official audio drama


 * Adaman: It seems that we've both definitely been thrown into a completely unknown place. But… now, what?
 * Irida: First off, I think we should get a grasp on the situation by getting an understanding of this unknown place. Let's walk around and check things out.
 * Adaman: Huh? We don't even know how big this place is, how long do you think that's gonna take? Time is of the essence, we can't waste it! I'm going to look for people, it'd be faster if we just asked someone directly.
 * Irida: Fine, do what you want.
 * Adaman: Well, in any case, let's get moving. Come on!
 * Adaman: Huh? Why're you just sitting there? You're not coming with?
 * Irida: Don't wait for me, you go on ahead. I'm going to think some things over before I go. Glaceon, come here.
 * Adaman: Oh? Don't tell me the heat's getting to you.
 * Irida: N-no! I'm just taking my time. Unlike you and your impatience! -Part two of the official audio drama


 * Irida: This…really is a strange place. It appears to be surrounded by nature, though it seemingly has an artificial feel to it…
 * Adaman: Anyone would think getting transported into an unknown place is strange.
 * Adaman: Maybe if we climb that hill, we could look over the place! And maybe we'll find a place with people to talk to!
 * Irida: There's the ocean…and a glacier here…and even a volcano over there.
 * Adaman: Surprisingly, it's just like Hisui.
 * Irida: Not really…haven't you noticed, Adaman? There's no Pokémon here at all.
 * Adaman: Hm? Yeah, it is pretty weird that we've gone this long without being attacked by any wild Pokémon.
 * Irida: I really think this is a trial made by the Almighty Palkia. A world where no other living beings exist, in order to test us…
 * Adaman: Yeah, right. If it were just you, sure. But, why do I have to be a part of it, too?
 * Adaman: Hm? What's wrong, Leafeon? Did you notice something?
 * Adaman: That's-! Irida, come here, quick!
 * Irida: Can't you keep it down? I'm trying to- what's wrong?
 * Adaman: There! I can see a town! There's gotta be people there!
 * Irida: Thank goodness!
 * Adaman: Alright! Let's go, Irida! Time's-a-wastin'!
 * Irida: W-wait! Adaman! Don't leave me behind, idiot! -The third and final part of the official audio drama

"Travelers from a Distant Past" event

 * Adaman: You just don't get it. We've obviously come to the future! This has to be a trial from mighty Dialga, who controls time!
 * Irida: Hmph, doubtful. Do you have any proof we're in the future? This is clearly a faraway country across the sea! Which means it's a trial from mighty Palkia, who controls space! -Adaman and Irida, arguing in front of a crowd


 * Adaman: See? I told you we came to the future.
 * Irida: Grrr...
 * Adaman: This must be a trial from mighty Dialga! -After the two are told they are in the future


 * Adaman: Traveling to an unknown world in a distant time...I never thought it would happen to us.
 * Irida: Me, neither. Not even an inkling. -The two about their circumstances


 * Adaman: C'mon, we can't be indecisive! We don't have much time!
 * Irida: Stop rushing them, you fool! -After Irida suggests to ask Palkia for help, too


 * Adaman: I don't know what you're worried about, but it'll be fine!
 * Irida: The Galaxy Team will surely lend us a hand! -The two clueless as to what became of The Galaxy Team years later


 * Adaman: Oh...so this is just another case of people looking alike?
 * Irida: Seems so. -The two realizing their misunderstanding


 * Irida: His blunt personality...
 * Adaman: Yeah, it reminds me of someone... -The two comparing Cyrus to Cyllene


 * Adaman: This is...My head... Mighty Dialga's talking...inside my head! It's telling me to use the power of time and space to ease the space-time distortion...
 * Irida: Mighty Palkia is telling me that we can stop the space-time distortion from spreading by working together! -The two legendary Pokémon telepathically communicating with the clan leaders


 * Irida: So, we'll have mighty Palkia and Dialga working from opposite sides of the distortion.
 * Adaman: Sounds like a plan! -After getting the two legendaries to agree to help

"Looks like it's time for us to make a decision."

- Adaman, about his and Irida's fates


 * Adaman: Don't worry. We were able to stop the worst of it, weren't we?
 * Irida: If anything happens again, I'm sure we can resolve it together.
 * Dawn: Huh? But, I thought you two wanted to get back home as soon as possible.
 * Adaman: Well...we do. But, we don't know how.
 * Irida: So, for now, we've decided to stay here on Pasio until we figure it out!
 * Adaman: Other people and Pokémon from Hisui might come here, too...
 * Irida: So, we'll be sure to take care of them if they do. Leave it to us!
 * Lucas: Are you sure?
 * Adaman: Yeah. Our minds are made up. -Adaman and Irida, about their decision

"As proof of how serious we are, we even have Leafeon and Glaceon in Poké Balls now. When someone from Hisui comes here, or when we eventually find our way back there...We'll have to set the example and show them how people and Pokémon can live together in harmony."

- Adaman about himself and Irida staying in the future

"Sync pairs are the perfect example! So, please, let us stay and learn from all of you!"

- Irida about her and Adamn staying

"[chuckles] I can tell it's going to get lively here."

- Professor Bellis to herself, about the two clan leaders living with them

Miscellaneous
NOTE: Irida only playfully calls Adaman "baka" (idiot) in the original Japanese audio.


 * Adaman: Sync pairs, huh...
 * Irida: Everything we see and hear is new and surprising.
 * Adaman: Yep! I guess I'll have to learn how people and Pokémon on Pasio get along! -Adaman and Irida's Pokemon Center dialogue (event exclusive)

"Hey, don't leave me behind, Adaman!"

- Irida, when put on the same team as him

"[genuinely impressed] Wow, you're on time, Irida!"

- Adaman, when put on the same as her

"Done in good time!"

- Adaman, in the same (winning) team with Irida

"Don't be so full of yourself, [idiot!]"

- Irida, in the same (winning) team with Adaman
