Zackie: I got a question, if we would listen to your friends' lecture, how come Miki and Liam are not winners with your friend Ryan here?
Miki Sunshine: (angrily) Why, you little...!
[Ruskin grabs Miki]
Ruskin "Raice" Landimister: Don't throttle him, Miki. He's only a little boy.
[Miki simply glares angrily at Zackie]
Bertram T. Garrison: FYI, like Ash who won the Orange League champion, Ryan won the Orange League championship and became Miki's OLC. You know. Orange Island Champion?
Nicole "Nikki" Moonbeam: And Ash did win the Orange League Champion and earn a spot in the Hall of fame.
Miki Sunshine: I agree with Bertram and Nikki. And I know that Liam is a friend and not my boyfriend since I am a cute girl.
Zackie: Oh. And is it because the Pooh lover Ryan is the Pokémon champion and Liam is not with you, girl? You must be a laughing stock of the Orange Islands to me.

Ritsu Taniaka: And Ryan, do I ever tell you about the story of a monster made of barnacles?
Mio Akiyama: YAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Bertram T. Garrison: Is Mio okay?
Matau T. Garrison: Mio, what's wrong?
Chris Strider: If I make a guess, I say Mio is scared of barnacles for some reason.
Amanda Tyson: What's wrong with barnacles? They are not scary.
Bikejack: I agree with Amanda Tyson. Mio is afraid of barnacles.
Haroldson Carol: I wonder how that story goes, Ritsu.
Ritsu Taniaka: Okay. Get ready as I tell you and Ryan the story of the barnacle monster.
Mio Akiyama: How about not?
Ryan Freestar: Come on, Mio. I haven't heard that story so, I hope you can cover your ears and say "I'm not listening" over and over again. Sounds fair?
Mio Akiyama: No! I would rather be with the first female Orange League loser than listen to Ristu's scary story!
Conaria Lacey: Hey! Miki resent that!
Miki Sunshine: Thanks, Conaria.
Ritsu Taniaka: Okay, Miki. Let me tell you and Ryan this tale.
