Ash Ketchum quotes from Pokémon

The distance is there...

But the control isn’t!

Turtwig, try again and aim carefully.

[to Meowth] I wanted to net Gligar, not YOU!

I guess it's back ta scrounging for our own sandwiches.

And consistently empty stomachs translate into just one thing...

We're blasting off again!

Wobbuffet!

[To Turtwig] That was awesome. Now don’t forget how that felt.

[nods] Turtwig.

Oh, my. That’s a relief.

Now we can finally relax.

Gli. [winks and licks its lips affectionately] Gligar!

Not again!

Hey! Where'd you learn how to fly?!

[drags Gligar off of Ash] Why didn't you go with your friends?

[winks and licks its lips affectionately] Gli.

I'll tell you what I think: Gligar likes Ash.

[confused] Huh?!

[smiling] Gligar.

Cassidy...

...and Biff!

[annoyed and irritated] I told you, it's not "Biff", it's "Butch"! James, you're as bad as those twerps!

I thought one Team Rocket was bad enough.

So, what are you doing here messing up the landscape, Jessica?

Now, stop stealing all of my lines! What are you doing here?!

Ask Professor Bamba. [phone rings] Huh? [answers it] Hello there!

[on phone] It's "Namba"!

Uh... We're here on orders from Professor Namba. He wants to study the sand that Hippowdon sprayed out, so he sent us to capture one.

You tell Professor fan-boy...! [phone rings] Huh?

Huh? [answers it, but throws it to Jessie] It's for you.

Oh? [talks into it] Hello?

[on phone] It's still "Namba"!

[groans] Alright, why didn't that loud mouth give us the orders instead of you? Let us not forget that the Sinnoh region is our turf! [throws the phone back to Cassidy, and Cassidy catches it]

Well, that's not what I hear. Giovanni told me personally that we're his two and only Sinnoh region reps.

But we've been hitting the dusty Sinnoh trail since way back!

Perhaps you've all forgotten just how forgetable you fools can be.

True. Tee-hee. [she and Butch laugh evilly]

[groans] Where'd you get that bucket of bolts?!

It's actually a present from Professor Kimba.

[on phone] It's "Namba"!

Now, Turtwig, use Razor Leaf, let's go! Help out Hippowdon!

It's one of Professor Namba's inventions.

[groans] We finance and build our own machines. It's not even fair that a brat named Bilge gets all the perks!

[enraged] I just told you, it's not "Bilge", it's "Butch"!

Now, Turtwig, use Razor Leaf, let's go! Help out Hippowdon! [sends Turtwig out]

Turtwig! Tur! [uses Razor Leaf to cut through the net]

We don't need twerp interference!

[cheerleading] Come on, Ash! Go for it! Fight, fight, fight! Maylene, Maylene, do it right!

Wow, Dawn. Cheering for both sides?

Well, I want to witness the greatest battle of all time!

That all? No prob!

They're here. And that wardrobe.

Start meteorite collection.

Upscale equipment!

Yowza! Too rich for our bank account!

[yells at James and Meowth] Will you yahoos stop nickel-and-diming?! Those are our meteors they're making off with!

Lucario says it has something to do with the meteorites in the park.

Did you call Officer Jenny?

The phones are dead, so I sent Connally out as messenger.

Check out the helicopters! They've been hovering above the park all day long.

[angrily] I will not witness my meteorites being manhandled by a bunch of bowl-headed fashion freaks!

Wa...?!

Wha?!

But the place is crawling with bowl-heads!

[yells at James and Meowth] Have you two ninnies that Team Rocket's middle name is Pride?!

What are you doing here?

Ah!

Hm. Not you losers again.

Your stupid team has much more to lose.

Look in the mirror at the haircut you choose.

"Cutting edge"?!

What a joke!

What a ruse!

Ugh...

We're bringing chaos...

Toxicroak, go!

Dashing hope, putting fear in its place.

A rose by any other name is just as sweet. [As she says this line, Saturn's Toxicroak appears]

When everything's worse, our work is complete.

Jessie!

James!

Meowth's the name!

Sludge Bomb, Toxicroak.

Putting the fashion police in their place....

TOXICROA-OA-OAK! [Uses Sludge Bomb on Team Rocket who end up on another patch of grass just as Ash, Maylene, Lucario, Dawn and Brock arrive]

It's Team Rocket!

But where are the meteorites?

And who are THEY?

Team Rocket - those guys friends of yours?

[agitated madly;sarcastic] SURE! BEST FRIENDS LIKE YOU!

What about that Pokémon? [Gets out his Pokédex and scans Toxicroak]

Toxicroak, the Toxic Mouth Pokémon, and the evolved form of Croagunk. The poison produced in its sacs is carried through tubes in its arms to its knuckle claws.

Fashion freaks or not, they stole our meteorites and they're no friends of ours!

Fashion? Since when?

Piplup?

Chill out, yo. Check it, my Mareep for your Pikachu, switch.

Forget it!

Then try this on. A Magneton and a Magnemite. We good?

Hey, I told you, no deal!

Pikachu

Pikachu!

So why do you want Pikachu so much?

Easy. I'm already down with a cool Pichu and Raichu, but I also wanna be makin' friends with a cool Pikachu, dig? Lemme break it down. I want a full power evolution set, yo!

Why don't you get your Pichu to evolve and be done with it?

No way! Then I'd have to head on out and snatch another Pichu, dig? Look, kid. If you don't wanna do business, then book. Take a hike.

If I win this battle, that Pikachu's mine all mine.

No way!

'Sup with that? My guys would all testify I'm bein' straight up. Or maybe you're bailin' 'cause you can't cut it!

My Pikachu's not goin' anywhere!

What a wimp. Germs like you give real men a bad rap. Guess I'll just have to show you the fine battle art of bustin' chops, chump!

He was right. You were pathetic.

It's Paul!

I'm Ash. Who are you?

Who, me? Guess it's time to represent. Full out with electric power! The super-sizzlin' man of the hour! Lord lightnin'! The one in the know! It's Mister Show!

So, what's Max up to these days?

Oh, yeah! Max is your little brother, right, May?

Right! Max is doing great!

Yeah, I'm all registered!

Ash! Long time, no see!

Zoey!

Pikachu

Pika, Pika! [Hi, Zoey!]

Now don't tell me you're entering the Wallace Cup too?

Yeah! We were hanging out with Wallace the other day and he'd told me I should enter it, with Buizel.

Sensational! A performance showcasing the power of battle and a nice dose of appeal!

Thanks a lot! Thanks for the applause!

What does he think he's doing?

Don't forget, you can dine all over the world, but you won't get my cooking!

Oh, now, Brock! It was awesome having your cooking again after so long!

Hey, May. Good luck with the rest of your Johto contests.

Thanks. And, Ash, lots of luck to you getting into the Sinnoh League!

Thanks! [Ash and May shake hands. The ship, with May onboard, then leaves the dock and heads into the sunset]

Bye, everybody!
