Ash Ketchum quotes from Pokémon

Trainers, which one of these Pokémon does not evolve? OK, trainers. If you chose Tangela, you were right!

Tang! [This is before Tangrowth was introduced in Generation IV]

Team Rocket!

Give those creeps who stole the shuttle!

What do you want?

Just a couple things.

Like your Lunatone and Solrock to be exact!

This robot was built a specially for catching Lunatone and Solrock, and it's called the Globo Robo Extendoarm Greenmeanie CageClaw.

That's got to be the worst name ever.

Can we just call it robot for short?

Why don't you get outta here, we're in the middle of an important gym battle!

Well, look at that hole, our Dad's gonna be furious!

Good surprise attack, but it'll take more than that to break our combination defence!

Anything else up your sleeve, Ash, or is that it?

Guess I'm not going to win by tricking 'em. There has to be something I haven't thought of, but what? [Looks at the sky and sees clouds] That's it! Of course! It's my best shot! I just got to trust my Pokémon's inner strength! Pikachu, use Thunder!

Fine, we'll block it again with Light Screen!

That's what I was hoping you'll do!

What does that mean?

Why did he do that?

Maybe he's just given up?

Hang in there, you guys! I know you can pull through it!

I think they're storing up electricity in their bodies.

But Swellow is a Flying-type!

I know they want to do this for Ash, but couldn't it hurt them?

Great battle, Ash! Your Pokémon absorbed that Thunder with no fear of damage to themselves. [Yet it's a bizarre method]

My sister and I have both learned a lot just from watching you battle.

I guess we still need to work on our combinations more, huh? [Tate nods his head in agreement]

Come on, you guys almost had me with all those combination attacks right from the beginning.

Yeah, your coordination was pretty good once you two got in sync. [This is one of Tate and Liza's flaws in their battlestyle]

That's for sure.

I can see how you two became the Gym Leaders here.

Oh, wow, thanks.

[to Tate] Well, do you have something for Ash, Tate?

Yep. [He opens up the small box in his hand to deliver Ash his 7th Hoenn Gym badge.]

Ash, congratulations.

This is a Mind Badge, proving that you were victorious at the Mossdeep Gym.

Not again.

Pikachu

Pika.

Armaldo! Ar! Do! Ar!

Armaldo!

What is this?

Prepare for trouble, with evil unmatched! And make it double, your Armaldo's been snatched! 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 blasts off at the speed of light! Surrender now or prepare for a prehistoric fight! That's right! Wobbuffet! Chime!

[dressed up as an eggplant as a lure] How does this always happen?

Here it comes! Dance like an eggplant! [starts dancing and calling out] Claydol, over here!

We're eggplants!

Not two guys in costumes at all!

We're delicious!

And no fat, which you might want to look into!

Mawile.

Check it out.

It looks to me like my Mawile's got a crush on your Lombre.

What do you think me guy? Huh? Huh?

Lombre.

Samantha, scuse me, a sensitive appears that our Pokémon are so deeply in love. Perhaps you and I should set an example of what true love is really love!

You mean what true weird is really love?

Prepare for trouble, the lights on us! Finding a light switch was a big plus! To protect the world from devonstation! 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 puts on quite a show at the speed of light! Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, and then fight! Meowth, that's right!

Team Rocket!

Team Rocket!

Give Pikachu back!

Ah, you're so predictable.

Say something new!

Hear at least we switch up the motto sometime.

Fine! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Pikachu

Pikachu! Pika!

[cackling] Our Diglett supreme's a giant ground type, and besides the Thunderbolt didn't unique.

I'll show them. Let's go, Ludicolo!

Ludicolo!

Could you save the dancing for later, please?

Ludicolo, use water gun!

Ludicolo!

[cackling again] Since our big Diglett supreme is a ground type, it's weak against water attack!

Meowth, wrong answer! Aah!

Pikachu!

Wait. Stay here.

Trainers, which Pokémon would last the longest against a Psychic attack? OK, trainers. If you chose Teddiursa, you were right!

Teddiursa!

Corphish, use Crabhammer, now!

Corphish!

Aah!

Snorunt.

To the bomb! Wobbuffet!

Trainers, which Pokémon is the pre-evolved form of Pikachu? OK, trainers. If you chose Pichu, you were right!

Pichu!

Aah!

We're back!

And there's no business!

Like snow business.

No, not you three again!

Pikachu

Pika, Pi!

Snorunt!

Give us back those Pokémon!

Didn't you learn your lesson?

Prepare for trouble we learned more than you think! And make it double, because I'm wearing mink! 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 shooshes downhill at the speed of light! Surrender now or prepare for a snowy winter fight! Meowth, that's right! Wobbuh! Chime!

Team Rocket!

All right Pikachu! Go! Give ‘em Thunder!

Pikachu

Pika! Pika CHU!! [unleashes Thunder on Team Rocket causing the Container to fall off]

Beautifly…

Masquerain…

Silver Wind Attack!

Trainers, which Pokémon would not be effected by Earthquake? OK, trainers. If you chose Lunatone, you were right!

Luna!
