"We've known each other for years. This is the first time you've had a free moment to go fishing since you became Champion. I can't remember the last time you invited me over for a drink, and we traveled together, after all. Let me be blunt: whenever you come looking for me, it's never for anything good, and you never worry about causing me trouble."
"But I really can't do this anymore."
"I know. You've bought villas near every cave in Hoenn and gotten mining permits. You're so obsessed with mining that you've lost your mind. And now you've come all the way here to say, 'Tallos, please become Hoenn's Champion.' You have no respect for me at all. You don't see me as a friend, and you won't even call me big brother. You invited me fishing just to bring up this rotten business, and you've even been spreading rumors to the League."
"I just want you to be a regional Champion for once."
"Daigo, Daigo, what did I do to deserve so little respect from you? Being Champion is a very prestigious position. Why not let Mikuri take it first?"
"Oh, right. There's Mikuri, too."
"Exactly. What respectable person would want to be Champion? Do you still want the job?"
"I don't."
"Mikuri doesn't want it either. But if you take those photos of him cross-dressing that we took back then and use them to 'persuade' him, I doubt he'll refuse."
