"Battling is the sport of
fighting one-on-one with
Gears and is held in the

The rules of the sport are
simple - fight until one or

In other words, just bash
your rival to pieces!{enter}
But you don't have to fight
till you trash your Gear.{wait:05}
You are allowed to give up
during a match...so if you
can't win{wait:0A}...{wait:05}well, you know!"

"The next thing to do is to
gain experience by actually
Battling. {wait:0F}The key is to

But{wait:05} perhaps jumping straight
into an actual battle is too
much for you?{wait:0F} Well then,{wait:05} why
not try our 'practice mode'

This is a simulation mode
where you can practice the
basic control methods.{wait:0F}
We recommend that beginners
should train here first!{enter}

you want to inquire about?"

#### 123 ####
Informationist
"O.K.,{wait:05} about the Directional
button...{wait:0F}assuming that your
opponent is on your right
(from your viewpoint) then:{enter}
 UP moves your Gear back
 away from the screen.{wait:2D}
 DOWN moves your Gear in
 towards the screen.{enter}
 RIGHT moves your Gear
 towards your opponent.{wait:2D}
 LEFT moves your Gear

"Lastly, when you're close
to your opponent, pressing
LEFT invokes a special move

Just remember the opposite
direction to your opponent.

it doesn't prevent all of 
the damage so be careful!"

"The R1 button launches a 
special attack called 'Ether 
Bullet'.{wait:0F} It's good for long

'Ether Bullets' have homing

Rico
"C'mon, fight me again!{enter}
You seemed a lot stronger
in the sewers!
Show me your true strength!"

#### 167 ####
Rico
"{wait:05}...{wait:05}Don't give me that!{wait:0F}
What are you scared of?"

You seemed a lot stronger

Hammer
"Yo, Bro!{wait:0F}
You forgot your mechanic!{wait:0F}
Wait up a little!"{clear:4B}

Rue
"Welcome to the Battling
Arena{wait:05}...{wait:05}
Fei, Sir{wait:05}...{enter}
Several days ago you were
adamant about not piloting
Gears{wait:05}...{enter}
Has something happened in 
the last few days to make
you change your mind in
such a large way?"

#### 172 ####
Fei
"Well, I have my reasons.{wait:0F}
For starters, you can't say 
prison life is that easy."

#### 173 ####
Fei
"{wait:05}...{wait:05}And then there's the 
matter of personal safety!"

#### 174 ####
Fei
"Living the rest of my life
with sewer monsters is not 
that bad{wait:05}...{enter}
it's just, {wait:05}well,
{wait:05}...there are many factors."

#### 175 ####
Fei
"Then there's this collar!{wait:0F}
It gets in the way so much!"

#### 176 ####
Rue
"Your collar{wait:05}...{wait:05}?"

#### 177 ####
Rue
"Hahahmm{wait:05}...{wait:05}
You're amusing!{enter}
Are you intending to aim for
victory despite it being 
your first try at Battling?"

#### 178 ####
Fei
"{wait:05}...{wait:05}Is that strange?"

#### 179 ####
Rue
"No, no! Not the least...{wait:0F}
Please excuse me!{enter}
You seem to have quite some
confidence in fighting with
Gears...{wait:05}
I'm looking forward to{wait:05}..."

#### 180 ####
!?{clear:0F}

#### 181 ####
Rue
"Oops{wait:0F}...{wait:05}excuse me!{wait:0F}{enter}
Well, I guess I'll show you
the way to the paddocks.
We don't have much time{wait:05}..."

#### 182 ####
Fei
"The paddocks{wait:05}...?"

#### 183 ####
Rue
"What, you're thinking that
you're going to fight with
flesh and blood?{enter}
{wait:05}...{wait:05}Hahahmm, not that I 
wouldn't mind seeing it, 
but{wait:05}..."

#### 184 ####
Rue
"We told you before that
the committee would prepare
a machine for you{wait:05}...{wait:0F}{enter}
What did you forget?"

#### 185 ####
Fei
"Oh, {wait:05}err{wait:05}...{wait:0F}
The Gear I'm going to pilot
will be, {wait:05}err{wait:05}..."

#### 186 ####
Rue
"Well, come on now.
Walk this way..."

#### 187 ####
Citan
"Hold on! We are not
ready yet{wait:05}...{wait:05} Can you
spare us a little time?"

#### 188 ####
Rue
"{wait:05}...{wait:05}Understood. {wait:0F}But we don't
have much time to spare, so
please hurry up now{wait:05}..."

#### 189 ####
Rue
"Report to the officials.{wait:0F}
Pilot confirmation complete.
Suggest first bout opponent
to be the black Gear..."

#### 190 ####
Hammer
"You finished the day's
Battling safely, hey, bro?{enter}
Why not return to your
quarters and rest up a bit?{enter}
Or you could buy something!"{wait:0F}
    Hammer's items
    Hammer's Gear parts
    I'm alright for now!

#### 191 ####
Hammer
"Hey hey!{wait:05} Thanks again man!{wait:0F}
That warms me pockets! {wait:0A}So...{wait:05}
are you heading back now?"

#### 192 ####
Hammer
"Hey hey!{wait:05} Thanks again man!{wait:0F}
That warms me pockets! {wait:0A}So...{wait:05}
are you heading back now?"

#### 193 ####
Hammer
"Well then, no use
hanging around.{enter}
We'd better head
back to our lodgings as 
early as possible.{enter}
After all that exercise,
the best thing for you
is to go beddy-byes!{enter}
You had better
sleep off the day's fatigue,
cause tommorow's a big day!"

#### 194 ####
Hammer
"Bro,{wait:05} you did it! You won!
You're the Battling Champ!
{wait:05}...{wait:05}or, close enough anyway!{enter}
Victory is in reach! If you
just win tomorrow's Finals
League we'll have our names
cleared and be released!"

#### 195 ####
Fei
"But Hammer,{wait:05} you know my 
opponent is no pushover!{wait:05}
His power is incredible{wait:05}...{enter}
He's been Battling Champion
for three years straight!
Beating him's going to be
no easy task{wait:05}...{enter}
Up till today I've managed
to win somehow,{wait:05} but
tomorrow is another matter!{wait:05}
I doubt that I will win."

#### 196 ####
Hammer
"{wait:05}...{wait:05}If that's your attitude
you'll lose even if you
could've won!{enter}
Come on bro,{wait:05}
show some fighting spirit!"

#### 197 ####
Fei
"{wait:05}...{wait:05}Hahaha,{wait:0F} I didn't think
you'd be the type to say
something like that!"

#### 198 ####
Fei
"You're right!{wait:05}
I'll never win with these
pre-battle blues.{enter}
Thanks Hammer!{wait:0F}
Well then,{wait:05} let's head back
to our lodgings now."

#### 199 ####
Hammer
"I'd like to be able to say
'no problem', but tomorrow's
Finals League is important!{enter}
Don't you think you should
take care in servicing and
customizing your Gear?
Our fates depend on it!"

#### 200 ####
Fei
"...Gear servicing, heh?
Leaving it just to one
mechanic worries me a bit.{enter}
I'll ask the doc to give
us a hand also!"

#### 201 ####
Hammer
"A bit of a worry!?{enter}
That's not so Bro! {wait:0F}
This here mechanic is doing
the best he can, y'know!

#### 202 ####
Fei
"I didn't mean it that way,
so don't get all upset now,
Hammer!{enter}
Anyway, {wait:05}let's go back to 
our barracks and call the 
doc, shall we!?"

#### 203 ####
Hammer
"Wait! {wait:0F}Don't you think you 
should save your Battling
record in the 'Memory Cube'!

#### 204 ####
Fei
"I suppose I should..."

#### 205 ####
Hammer
"Oh and bro!{wait:0F} You did save
your Battling record in the
'Memory Cube' didn't you?"

#### 206 ####
Receptionist
"Match forfeited!"

#### 207 ####
Receptionist
"Hmm, not a bad battle!
Keep up the good work!"

#### 208 ####
Receptionist
"Wow, you're sooo strooong!
Boy, was he ever outmatched!
Ooh, I get pins and needles
at your overwhelming power!"

#### 209 ####
Receptionist
"So this is what they mean
by 'taking great risks'?
Well done on a close win!"

#### 210 ####
Receptionist
"Too bad, you lose! It was
not due to any obvious flaw,
so you might win next time.

#### 211 ####
Receptionist
"I'll give you some advice!{wait:0F}
You're not limited to just
the  and  button's
physical attacks!{enter}
There is another attack work
called 'Ether Bullets' that
are useful on distant foes.{wait:0F}
They are simple to use,{wait:05} just
press the 'R1 button',{wait:05} OK!"

#### 212 ####
Receptionist
"Right, just remember to
press the 'R1 button' to
shoot 'Ether Bullets'!{enter}
This will increase your
chances of winning for 
sure!{wait:1E} (...or so we hope!?)"

#### 213 ####
Receptionist
"Attacking while jumping
is awesome! Master it!"

#### 214 ####
Receptionist
"One weakness that I can see
from watching your bout is
that you seem to use your
'Ether Bullets' too much.{enter}
You should better understand
the nature of the attack...
'Ether Bullets' raise your
'Heat Gauge (H.G.)' by quite
a large percentage.{enter}
Three shots will easily send
your H.G. to the MAX 
condition. If you continue 
to attack in that condition,
your machine overheats.{enter}
The excess heat begins to
cause damage, so if you
don't take care, your HP
will fall to zero before
you realize it!"

#### 215 ####
Receptionist
"The heat accumulated by
your Gear is shown in the
on-screen H.G..{enter}
Manage your heat during
battle with the aid of 
this H.G.. Oh, and don't
forget to stay cool now!"

#### 216 ####
Receptionist
"The main cause of your loss
is this: your over-reliance
on 'Dash' movement! Simply
put, you run round too much!{enter}
Dashing about may be a good
strategy but you'll notice
that the 'Heat Gauge (H.G.)'
which shows your Gear's heat
level, climbs much faster!{enter}
You can continue to DASH
even after your H.G. reaches
the MAX condition, but as 
your Gear overheats more and
more, it will cause damage!

#### 217 ####
Receptionist
"The heat accumulated by
your Gear is shown in the
on-screen H.G..{enter}
Manage your heat during
battle with the aid of 
this H.G.. Oh, and don't
forget to keep cool now!"

#### 218 ####
Receptionist
"{wait:05}...{wait:05}You do realize why you
lost don't you?{wait:0F} If not then
I'll tell you if you want!"

#### 219 ####
Receptionist
"Want to know why you lost?"{wait:0F}
{fast:FF}    No I don't!
    Of course I do!

#### 220 ####
Receptionist
"There are two reasons for
your loss. First, your over-
reliance on the 'R1 button'
to shoot 'Ether bullets'.{enter}
'Ether Bullets' are useful
when your foe is far away,
but using them too much will
cause problems with your own
Gear's heat level!{enter}
Second is your over-use of
'Dash movement'. The use of
either of these when your
'Heat Gauge' is at MAX will
cause your Gear to overheat!{enter}
Whilever your overheating,
you will be taking damage,
so if you're not careful,
before you know it, your 
H.P. will fall to zero!"

#### 221 ####
Receptionist
"The point is the over-use
of either ability is bad 
for your Gear!{enter}
"The heat accumulated by
your Gear is shown in the
on-screen 'Heat Gauge'.{enter}
Refer to this Heat Gauge
(H.G.) to help you manage
your heat during battle.
'Keep your cool'!"

#### 222 ####
Receptionist
"{wait:05}...{wait:05}Knowing the reasons for
your defeat will help you to
fight better next time!"

#### 223 ####
Receptionist
"Obviously the Gears were
unevenly matched...!
Or was it the pilots?{enter}
Sorry to say this to you, 
but either-way, your not 
much of an opponent!"

#### 224 ####
Receptionist
"Practice makes perfect! 
We recommend our 'Practice 
Mode' to you. Try it today!"

#### 225 ####
Receptionist
"So near yet so far! 
Too bad!
You almost had him!"

#### 226 ####
Receptionist
"That was a good match! 
Either of you could have 
easily won! Now try harder 
to win on the rebound!"

#### 227 ####
Receptionist
"{wait:05}...{wait:05}Are you a pacifist?
{wait:05}...{wait:05}Or don't know how to 
control a Gear?{enter}
You need to know the basic
controls, so perhaps you 
should try out our Practice 
Mode! Speak to the girl at 
the counter next to me."

#### 228 ####
Receptionist
"You can't just do nothing
and expect to win!
You need to practice first 
to get the hang of it!"
