"Hello. Lovely weather isn't it? It's so pleasant. ...Oh dear... I must have dozed off. Welcome. My name is Erika. I am the Leader of Celadon Gym. I teach the art of flower arranging. My Pokemon are of the grass-type. Oh, I'm sorry, I had no idea that you wished to challenge me. Very well, but I shall not lose."

WHEN DEFEATED:
"Oh! I concede defeat. You are remarkably strong. I must confer you the Rainbow Badge."

AFTER BEING DEFEATED:
"The Rainbow Badge will make Pokemon up to L50 obey. It also allows Pokemon to use Strength in and out of battle. Please also take this with you."
"TM21 contains Mega Drain. Half the damage it inflicts is drained to heal your Pokemon!"

✾ = Erika
✿ = Jasmine

REGISTERING AT CELADON:
✾ "Hi, Jasmine. I heard Whitney from Goldenrod City said you were too plain and should look more fancy. Is that true?"
✿ "Yes... I'm thinking maybe I should participate in this Contest in Sinnoh to try and be more vibrant..."
✾ "How'd it go?"
✿ "I couldn't bring myself to go to the Contest."
✾ "Oh, I see... Then why don't you try putting on something especially gorgeous?"
✿ "Ah, yes! Maybe I can bring myself to enter the Contest!"
✾ "How about a fancy, light blue outfit with a cape over it?"
✿ "What? That's too embarrassing!"
✾ "I see. You think Clair from Blackthorn is a little embarrassing... I'm just taking notes."
✿ "Oh, no! Erika, that's not what I meant!"

ERIKA TO PLAYER:
✾ "Hi, . Would you like to exchange numbers?"
Yes: "I am often free in the morning on Sunday. Call me around then."

ON POKEGEAR PHONE CALLING ERIKA:
✾ "Hello... Oh, hiya, what's up? Things are sweet over here! My schedule's fairly open on Sunday mornings. Try calling me then, OK?"

ON POKEGEAR PHONE WHEN SHE CALLS YOU:
✾ "Do you like plants? Plants are such delicate things. The amount of water, the condition of the soil, the temperature differences, the changing weather... All those little things we don't think about can have such a huge effect."
