 * Floatzel: ...We must be getting close to finding the legendary Pokémon who is said to lurk in these ancient ruins...

 * Lanturn: ...Shut it, you useless burdens! I knew we shouldn't have brought you with us, I don't know why the boss even sent you two, you're just dead weight.
 * Octillery: Crikey, mate! Easy on the tone, aye? We know we are getting closer and I'm getting sleepy too. These depths are too haza-...
 * Lanturn: -Wait... I hear something!
 * Whiscash: Haha!!! It's probably just my tummy rumblin' tumblin'!

 * Floatzel: ...
 * Floatzel: ...
 * Floatzel: ...T-there you are!!!
 * Lanturn: ...W-who are you?!

 * Floatzel: ...
 * Floatzel: ...Hey, you! How long have you been eavesdropping on us?
 * Lanturn: ...I-if just boss found out about this...
 * Lanturn: ...We would get into serious trouble!
 * Floatzel: ...No. We can't risk anything, too much is at stake!

 * Lanturn: Our health levels are sufficiently low, this is bad. How... How did they manage to do this to us...?!
 * Seaking: I-I think we s-should ruuuun while we still can...!
 * Floatzel: Gah, we have no choice... Boss will not be very... happy.
