Ash Ketchum quotes from Pokémon

Yeah, who are you, guys?

Glad you ask! Prepare for trouble on scenic tour!

And make it double that's for sure!

Stop! Do we gotta do the routine every time? I'm an old woman, I'm too tired!

Wait a minute!

Now, on with the show! To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all peoples within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love!

Team Aqua. A pleasure to see you again feel commander Tabitha. Hi. Heh, well, of course, commander, Shelly. Always showing up fashionably late to the party. Actually it looks to me like I'm just in time. Since this nice man here is about to give me that meteorite. The attitude must be effecting your brain. Well, if it's a fight, you want is a fight you'll get, Tabitha. Mightyena, Golbat, go! Go Crawdaunt, Walrein!

Wal, Walrein!

Crawdaunt!

Heh. Commander, the meteorite! A Squad, quickly! After him! Right! We'll have to split up. You four go after the meteorite while we stay here and fight! Okay! Shall we get this started? Yep, but you're gonna regret it.

To extend our reach to the stars above! Jessie! James! Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light! Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight! Meowth, that's right!

So, any ideas, Ash?

Well, first we gotta get down from here.

This Gym Battle between Flannery, our first year Gym Leader and Ash from Pallet Town will now begin.

Grandpa! Do you have to say that I'm new?

No "Grandpa" stuff out here, Flannery. You'll address me as Judge.

Yeah, alright.

Trainers can use up to three Pokémon, though only the challenger is allowed to make substitutions.

Say what?!

Do you not know the rules?

Yeah, of course I do. [laughs] Well Ash, It's showtime!

Yup, Should be a great battle if you're as good as you say you are.

Uhhhhhh, yeah.

Blu, blu, blu, blu!

Swablu!

You were caught red-handed!

But don't be Swablu.

Blu, blu, blu!

Team Rocket!

Pikachu

Pika!

Prepare for trouble, we want the feathers!

Make it double, we're all togethers!

To protect the boss from insomniation!

To unite a well-rested nation!

To denounce the evils of lack of sleep!

To extend our reach to the Sandman's Keep!

Jessie!

James!

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

Surrender now to the foils of fatigue or prepare to fight, fight, fight!

Meowth, that's right!

Wobbuffet!

That same old thing?! How about something new?

Huh? What are you talking about?

Prepare for trouble, funny you should ask!

And make it double—

Aw, come on. Talk about old!

[in unison] Oh, no!

[shocked] What was that explosion?!

[fueled with fury] That does it! You'll regret ever coming to this town! [The Team Rocket trio tremble in fear]

Okay, so now I'm afraid.

Why is Dad flipping out like that?

Good Lord!

NOW, SLAKING!!! [Slaking furiously runs out of the greenhouse and in front of Team Rocket]

Wow, look at that!

Pikachu

Pika!

[roars ferociously] SLAKIIIIIIINNNGGG!!!!! [the roar makes the Team Rocket trio shriek]

Go, Slaking, give 'em your Focus Punch! [Slaking hurls Focus Punch on the Team Rocket trio, sending them flying into the air]

What was that?

King of the jungle.

In that case, we just got the royal treatment.

We're blasting off again!

Incredible! Raising your voice to a girl just 'cause she's looking in the mirror.

Talk about nerve! Standin' around gazing at yourself while your friends are all waiting.

What did you say?!

You heard me!

Wanna know what your problem is?

I already know!

Brock, is it only me, or have they been fighting all day?

All day.

I wish they could just bring it to a close already.

No kidding.

I can't stand you, Ash Ketchum!

Gee, I'm heartbroken!

Excuse us, you two lovebirds.

Oscar is the name.

I'm Andi, and love is the name.

Check out those guys. What's up with them?

Hello, gorgeous.

Seeing how much in love you two appear to be...

We thought we'd offer you a challenge.

Us, in love?

[with his arms folded] Huh! That's a laugh!

Hardy har har!

Hmm mmm mmm. That's what young lovebirds always say.

And fighting's the first sign of love.

It's pretty obvious that you two were in the middle of a fight, right?

That means...

You two are in love.

We don't think, we know.

Told you. You answered together.

That was the worst battle ever.

Yeah, you were pretty pathetic, alright.

Excuse me, You are the one who had lost it for us.

You got something to say?

I just did!

Oh, yeah?

Hey, Brock, am I just having déjà vu? This sounds familiar.

Pikachu

Pika Pika.

[cheerfully] Let me explain something. Believe it or not, this sort of turmoil has been going on between a man and a woman since the beginning of time.

Whoa.

You just had to stick your Cacnea's nose where it wasn't needed.

I wouldn't talk if I were you. If your Seviper hadn't tried to save the world, Cacnea and I could have won back there.

Let's talk about saving the world. Seviper and I had our hands full just trying to keep you and your Cacnea from getting blown away.

Gee, thanks anyway, but we all blasted off just like always.

Have you ever considered that perhaps our 'blasting off' expertise comes from YOUR side of the family?

Take that back!

I'm just getting warmed up, incompetent blue-haired bigmouth!

Oh yeah, well at least I'm not ugly!

Now that's crossing the line, Buster!

[cheerfully] Yep, I knew that one would do the trick! Ah, yes. [sings] Ugly, ugly, ugly, Jessie is so ugly!

[sings] La la la la.

And Pokémon actually take orders from these clowns?

[to May, who she is teaming up with against James and Ash] I hope you're ready. With our combined feminine prowess, they'll be toast in no time flat!

[nervously] Uhh... well, yeah, I suppose I wouldn't mind knocking Ash down a peg or two.

[to Ash] Let's blow those whining women to the Dark Ages, right where they belong!

[as if to say "That's a little extreme..."] Mmm... yeah, okay!

Pikachu

Pika-pi!

Bulba!

'Scuse us! Coming through! Pardon!

What in the world is that? A huge robot?

Prepare for trouble, we're having oodles of fun!

And make it double as you gaze upon our mechanized marvel, the Mean Old Lady Mark One!

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all peoples within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love!

To extend our reach to the stars above!

Jessie!

Jamsey!

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight!

Meowth, that's right!

Wobbuffet!

Trainers, which one of these Pokémon is the best to beat Illumise? OK, trainers. If you chose Crobat, you were right!

Cro!

[to Bulbasaur] Now throw Lairon with all your might.

Bulbasaur!

Send Shockwave now!

Lai.... [Uses Shockwave on May's Bulbasaur] ...ron!

Bulbasaur!

So that's it. Who'd have expected Lairon to use electric attacks?

Yeah! All right!

Just wait, you'll see in a second. [The camera cuts to Lairon who is still using Shock Wave on May's Bulbasaur] That's the whole reason why Lairon didn't dodge Vine Whip.

Bulba! [Becomes paralysed]

Bulbasaur, you've got to get up!

Bulba.

It's paralysed for real this time.

But Shock Wave doesn't paralyse enough an opponent, only it stuns them.

Unless there's contact.

What?

That's right. Since the two of them were directly connected by Bulbasaur's Vine Whip, then the attack had a much greater effect. That was another one of my ideas for mom.

I've got to hand it to her. That attack was beautiful and effective, just like Sandra said it would be.

[to her Bulbasaur] Come on, don't give up. [The sparks disappear from Bulbasaur's body] Huh?

It's obvious Bulbasaur has taken a lot of damage. Will May be able to recoup in time?

Metal Claw, Lairon! Go!

Lairon! Lairon! [Uses Metal Claw on Bulbasaur]

Bulbasaur!

[appears from the right side of the screen] Bulbasaur is out of the battle, and Savannah continues on to the final round!

Hey wait, I'm not done fighting!

Yes, you are!

Huh?

Where's your concern for your Pokemon's health, May?!

That is a coordinator's Number 1 priority, not winning.

By now, you should know that.

As soon as Spoink sees anything round, it gets all excited and just plops it up on its head.

I can understand Spoink's excitement, but still...

Electrode.

Wait, that's not your pearl.

Spoink!

Elec... [Gets carried by Spoink's psychic power and lands on its head] ...trode.

Cool it, Spoink.

Don't mess with this one.

Electrode. [Uses Explosion and sends everyone flying]

That's an Explosion attack gone awry!

This is gonna be a lot harder than I thought.

Pikachu

Pikachu.

Mudkip.

Hey, is that it? [Picks up Spoink's pearl] This is it, guys. [The pearl glows and floats back to Spoink's head]

It's a perfect fit.

Beautiful.

Now do you feel better, Spoink?

Spoink. [Jumps off joyfully] Spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink.

[crying] Torrrkooaaalll!

Torkoal's obviously happy.

Imagine if it didn't find its pearl.

Spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink, spoink.

Careful, you don't lose it again, OK?

Arrggh! [They fall into a pit]

Not another one of these holes!

Prepare for trouble, that's the name of our game!

Make it double, it's our claim to fame!

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all peoples within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love!

To extend our reach to the stars above!

Jessie!

James!

Team Rocket blasting off at the super speed of light!

Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight!

Meowth, that's right!

Wobbuffet!

Team Rocket!

But not the Team Rocket from days of old.

We're a brand new Team Rocket, fresh-faced in bold.

Yeah, how so?

First off, there's this. [Cuts a rope with some scissors and a boulder falls down while Ash and his friends get lifted in a net]

How do you like us now?

There's plenty more where that came from.

Magikarp.

It's not changing color it's showing its true color!!!

That Feebas is a fraud!

Great, another Magikarp.

Combusken, Beautifly, Skitty, Bulbasaur!

Swellow, Grovyle, Corphish, Torkoal!

Forretress, Lombre, Mudkip!

I must say, your strategy was excellent. You caught me completely off guard!

Gee, thanks Winona! But I'm not gonna forget that this match has just only gotten started!

That's true and don't think I part with my badges from my gym that easily!

Ash, on days that are so beautiful and clear like today, my Flying Pokemon and I are able to manifest greater power than we were able to in less perfect conditions. Those of us whose dreams reach towards the sky are loved by the sky in return.

Wow. I didn't know the sky could love you.
