Pre-battle screen

 * Jessie:
 * "Hey, do you want to join Team Rocket?"
 * "The Boss’s Persian is so elegant..."
 * "Who are these Team GO Rocket Leaders, anyway?"


 * James:
 * "Hey, would you like to join Team Rocket?"
 * "You’ll regret this!"
 * "Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"

Upon victory

 * Jessie:
 * "Looks like I’ve just denounced the evils of truth and love!"
 * "Can’t wait for the Boss to hear about this!"

 * James:
 * "Looks like our reach has extended to the stars above!"
 * "I hope the Boss will be proud of me!"
 * "If only the Boss had sent us here the first time around!"

Upon being defeated

 * Jessie:
 * "You’re just a Twerp. Why are you so strong?"
 * "Hmph! How infuriating! Don’t let it go to your head just because your Pokémon were a teeny-tiny bit stronger!"
 * "We’re blasting off again!"
 * "I only lost because I’m using these borrowed Pokémon! You’re no match for Team Rocket!"


 * James:
 * "We got beat by a Twerp?!"
 * "But I was so confident this time!"
 * "Even if you did defeat us in battle, we’re still bigger and stronger than you!"
 * "We’re blasting off again!"
 * "Argh! I despise Twerps!"
 * "I should have known I couldn’t win with borrowed Pokémon..."
