Ash Ketchum quotes from Pokémon

See ya, Dee-Dee.

Huh? STOP CALLING ME DEE-DEE!

Hey, what's so bad about Dee-Dee anyway?

Ash, don't go there!

Good, and done! All ready!

Still looks the same.

WILL YOU JUST GROW UP?!

Turtwig, return! [Returns Turtwig to its Poké Ball] You were just great. [Turns back to Gardenia]

[off camera] Gardenia's Turtwig didn't move around much, but when it did, it was fast. I'd say overall it was faster than Ash's Turtwig.

I'll show you fast. Gardenia, our battle isn't over just yet.

I know.

Okay, Staravia, I choose you! [Sends out Staravia]

Staravia!

I don't care how fast that Turtwig is, it can't match the speed of a flying Staravia.

Flying-types do have the advantage over grass-types, but...

But?

There's more than one way to win a battle.

Pikachu

Pika.

All right, Wing Attack, go!

Starrrravia! [Uses Wing Attack]

Turrrtwig! [Dodges Staravia's Wing Attack]

Ah! Ugh! Come back around and use Wing Attack!

Starrrravia! [Uses Wing Attack, but Gardenia's Turtwig carries on dodging]

You know, my Turtwig may even be a good match for your Staravia's speed.

Hey, you've got to be kidding me! [The camera cuts to Turtwig who is watching out for Staravia's next Wing Attack] Is she serious?! [to Staravia] Okay, let's give 'em Aerial Ace right now!

Starrrr...

There's no way her Turtwig's going to be able to outrun this dive-bomb.

Staravia! Starrrr... [Uses Aerial Ace, but Turtwig jumps up to avoid the attack] ...avia! [Crashes through a bush and screeches]

Staravia!

Now, Turtwig, Leaf Storm!

Turtwiiiiiig! [Uses Leaf Storm on Staravia, sending it into the trunk of a tree]

Staravia!

Staravia is out!

Number One! I win!

Staravia, return! [Returns Staravia to its Poké Ball] You gave it a great shot, Staravia.

But Gardenia was running things the whole time.

I'm really sorry that you lost, Ash.

Wow, Gardenia's a tough one.

Oh, I never had a chance.

My name is Cheryl. That was some battle just now.

Thanks, Cheryl. [Notices Cheryl's Mothim] That's some Mothim you've got. [Mothim starts flying around her, making her giggle] Your moth tails tickle!

You shouldn't get too close to strangers, Mothim, dear.

First Turtwig loses and then Staravia. The Eterna Gym's going to be tough.

Pikachu

Pika, Pikachu!

You think? Special training, eh?

Pikachu

Pika, Pika!

I've never seen a lure like that.

This? Cool, huh? I got this from Misty a long time ago.

Misty?

Right. She's a friend of ours who's now the Cerulean Gym leader.

When every life meets another life, something will be born.

When every life...

...meets another life...

...something will be born?

Nice running! You'll be fine! [angrily] But after what you did, Team Rocket, you won't be!

Get ready for trouble!

Pikachu

Pika!

Make a double!

[shocked] Hey, no fair! Cacnea, come forth!

Chim? [Huh?]

You're out of here.

Chimchar! Char... [Wait! Please...]

Paul? So, that's the end of all that special training?

Yeah, that's right. What's the point?

Huh?

[Walking past Ash, Dawn and Brock] Obviously I need to get a new fire-type. [This is an obvious a foreshadow to his Magmar/Magmortar]

Huh?

Huh?

You're giving up Chimchar?

What happened to the two of you getting stronger together?

All of that progress, and you're throwing it away? [He, Ash and Dawn turn to Chimchar] Hm?

Oh...? [Walks sadly away from Ash and the others]

Pikachu

Pika, Pika... [He and Ash watch as Chimchar walks sadly away]

Hmm... [cheerfully] Hey, Chimchar, come with us!

Chim? [What do you want?]

[Looks back] Hm?!

Are you sure?

Of course. We'll have a blast and work hard!

Pikachu

Pika, Pika! [Come join the crew!]

Turtwig, Turtwig! [There's room for you here!]

The old saying goes - when one door closes, another door opens. Friends reach out to friends and a brand new opportunity is born. So, now with an invitation from our heroes to share their journey, just what lies in store for Chimchar?

[voiceover] Smells Like Team Spirit!

Chim?

Chimchar, come on.

Char?

Pikachu

Pika. Pika, Pika.

Turtwig.

You see, the way you give it all you got is awesome. I'd love working with a tough Pokémon like you.

Chim...

[To Ash and Chimchar] You deserve each other.

Char?

You're both pathetic.

Why, that's an awful thing to say, Paul!

Piplup, Piplup.

Just ignore him.

Huh?

Chimchar and I are going to show Paul just how wrong he can be.

Hmph.

Chim? [The camera cuts to Ash and then, back to Chimchar] Char...

[voiceover] Tears for Fears!

With the Eterna City Pokémon Contest and tag battle behind them, our heroes set their sights on Veilstone City and Ash's next gym battle.

Come on, Brock. Lunch ready yet?

[yells at Ash] IT'D BE DONE A LOT SOONER IF YOU'D HELP OUT A LITTLE!

Brock's right, you know. Do something. [Lays out the towel]

Fine. [Sends out his Pokémon] Hey, guys? Let's help them out!

Yeah!

Cool. Great idea. Let's go, everyone! [Sends out her Pokémon]

It's lunch for 12. [Sends out his Pokémon]

Now, spread it out nice and flat.

Hurry up. [Chimchar starts eating his food] We're way behind on training.

Chimchar? Hey, what's wrong? '[The camera cuts to him eating his soup at the table] You must be hungry. Go ahead and eat. [Pets Chimchar] Oh, man. No one makes a great lunch the way Brock does. [Eats some soup] Man, is this good!

Scary, but not too smart.

Spiritomb's as feisty as an Aura Guardian.

Every time we're close to plucking Pikachu, our eyes get too big.

Huh? [Sees Pikachu resting on the meadow below] Well, widen your eyes now.

[off camera] Pikachu! Taking a snooze in the meadow, are we?

With nary a twerp in sight to cause trouble!

This is our lucky day.

Excuse me, 'twas because of my brilliant strategy, not luck.

Please...

Pikachu

[dancing] Pika, Pika!

Hey!

What's with the pit trap?

Twerps?!

Listen, is that bad guy talk I hear?

It speaks to me loud and clear.

On the wind!

Past the stars...

In your ear...

[yells at Ash, Dawn, Brock and the Old Woman] IT'S THAT KIND OF IMITATION THEY INVENTED LAWSUITS FOR!

Chill out. We couldn't care less about you.

We're looking for Spiritomb!

Spiritomb.

Huh? [They turn back to see Spiritomb]

That's strategy.

Who are the twerps now?

I won't be treated like a piece of garbage.

You're a little late.

I think it's time for those twerps to reap what they sow.

Let's go.

Your Highness, if it's total unmerciful revenge you want, have I got the perfect sap for you.

[about Ash] That twerp with the perched Pikachu is a descendant of the Aura Guardian who sealed you in that crazy Keystone.

M-Me?

Pikachu

Pika?

All right, Spiritomb, sure, I'll battle you.

You must lure it to the broken Stone Tower!

[to Spiritomb] Okay, come get me. [Runs off]

Pikachu

Pikachu!

I am kinda surprised you didn't even know what the name of the evolved form of Aipom is, Dee-Dee.

DON'T EVER CALL ME DEE-DEE AGAIN!

Kenny, why do you call her Dee-Dee?

NO! [Dawn desperately grabs Ash's mouth] ASH, DON'T GO THERE!

Mm-hmm, guess everybody's got secrets hidden in their closet.

Where are we?

Looks like we're completely blocked in.

[frightened] Th-The walls are all weird!

Kenny! Relax, Kenny! It's us!

But look at the walls! They're breathing or something!

Just relax! Take a deep breath.

You mean you're not scared?

Isn't this a bit over the top?

I'm sorry, but that's all we've got...

Don't worry about it. You look great!

Why do Dawn's old friends call her Dee-Dee?

Ash, you don't know? Well, you see...

THIS HOT SPRING'S MORE HELP THAN I THOUGHT!

Okay, return! [returns his Pokémon]

Everybody! [returns her Pokémon]

[returns his Pokémon, except Turtwig] Brock, Dawn, you okay?

We’re fine.

But who are those Pokémon?

Gliscor and Gligar.

Wow, I gotta see this.

Gligar, the FlyScorpion Pokémon. It glides using the membrane attached to its arms and legs, and attacks the face of its prey with its claws.

Gliscor, the Fang Scorp Pokémon, and the evolved form of Gligar. It watches its prey as it hangs from trees by its tail and attacks from above when it sees the chance.
