Gabby and Ty (Quilafa)

Gabby (Japanese: マリ Mari) and Ty (Japanese: ダイ Dai) are a pair of co-workers who can be found interviewing Trainers all over Hoenn. Gabby is an interviewer and Ty is her trusty cameraman.

In the games
Gabby and Ty appear in various places around Hoenn in, on Route 120, Route 118 or Route 111. They will battle the main character of the game, then give a short interview asking for a word, which the undefined then uses the easy chat system to reply. The results of the battle will later be broadcast on televisions across the region. After being defeated, the two will move to the next location and will immediately battle the player again if the player speaks to them.

They are employees of Hoenn TV.

They also make a brief appearance when they do a brief interview for Captain Stern when he announces his underwater exploration and they leave prior to Team Magma / Team Aqua stealing his submarine.
