Ash Ketchum quotes from Pokémon

That is so cute! You must tell me where did you get it! Veilstone City, Jubilife City?

Piplup...[My goodness...]

Uhhhh....actually, my mom sent it to me.

If your mom sent it, it must be handmade! It's adorable! You are so lucky!

[getting annoyed] Please, Miss Senior, at least introduce yourself! [Should have asked her that earlier, Zoey?]

[realizing she got overexcited, immediately calms down] Oh, sorry about that. [runs to her Abomasnow and the two strike a pose] Hi! The name is Candice and I'm the Gym Leader of Snowpoint Gym!

Gym Leader? See, I'm Ash from Pallet Town and I'm here because I want to challenge the Snowpoint Gym.

Yippeee! We haven't had a challenger in so long! [later the group are walking around Snowpoint City] Things have been on the slow side at my gym.

Slow, huh? That's too bad.

Well, when you live in a town that's this far north and this cold with not much to do here, challengers don't come around all that much.

And since I have so much free time on my hands, I'm actually a teacher at this school now.

Wow, a Gym Leader and a teacher. [Like Roxanne from the Hoenn Region]

So, Ash how many badges do you have?

I've got six

That's great! I'm wondering if I can show you off as an example to my students at the training school?

You mean battling?

No. I'd really like you to help me teach a class! I'd think it would be a great experience for all of them. Can we have the Gym Battle later?

I'd be happy to do anything I can. Right Pikachu?

Pikachu

Pika! [You know it!]

Hi, how are ya?

I'm fine. My name is Jeremiah and I work as a Pokétch company rep.

Cool. You're from Jubilife City?

Right. The bulk of my time is spent selling Pokétches but then after watching all those trainers buy our products, it hit me. I've decided I wanted to go on my own journey. So, I chose this Skuntank as my partner and started studying about Pokémon from square one.

[groans] This stinks!

Relax, you simply show off your true power when you're in battle, see? Desk type work? That's not really your thing.

Pikachu

Pikachu. [He's got a point, you know.]

I wondered about that.

[immediately bolts up] Jeremiah!

For a trainer with six badges, you don't seem to know much. To be honest, I'm surprised.

Hey, I'll do better next time.

I would hope so. [he leaves]

Don't worry. It doesn't change you're a genius in Gym Battles, really.

Yeah, maybe. Hey, where's Dawn and the gang?

I owe you a big thanks for saving Skuntank and an apology for the rude things I said.

Skunnnnn...[He really means it, Ash]

Naaahhh.

Really, after seeing your Ice Aqua Jet, it makes the quiz results seem like nothing. I'm going to put my kiai into it that someday I can battle just like Ash. Today's class was the best one I ever had.

You said you were serious about wanting to win at Snowpoint City, so why do you still need Torterra to hold your hand? Using a Grass-type in an Ice-type Gym? I guess chuck that blind faith.

Stop right there! Just who do you think you are?!

Zoey, stop!

He has no right talking like that!

It's OK, Zoey.

Hmm!

I just hope tomorrow at the gym battle, Miss Senior wipes the floor with that jerk!

Use Stone Edge!

Aaah! Stone Edge? Why? [Don't you just hate when that happens?]

Chimchar's evolving!

MONFERNO!

That's great! You evolved into Monferno! [Note: Chimchar wasted 129 episodes to evolve into a Monferno. Ash just tried to defeat Paul using Chimchar without any intention of working on the Blaze ability and evolution and pays the ultimate price for evolving Chimchar too late in the journey. This is why the "Chimchar is a strong cute unevolved Pokémon therefore he does not need Blaze ability and evolution to prove his strength" premise is a bad message to fans because Chimchar is a baby mascot and not a genuine ace.]

[v.o] I lost to Paul.

[astonished] Huh?! Pikachu!

Pikachu

Pika, Pi, Pika.

[delighted] Everybody!

Bui, Bui!

Gliscor, Gli, Gli, Gliscor.

Grotle.

Star, Star.

Monferno, Monferno.

[concerned] Oh, man. Please don't overdo it. [starts laughing] Okay, you’re all trying to cheer me up now, right?

Pikachu

[regretful] Pika...

Right! [gets up] I’m fine now. I’m not feeling sad one little bit. [stares at the sky] Paul sure is tough. He’s got his own way of getting strong, and I’ve gotta admit he gave it his all. That’s how he got strong in the first place. But, hey, we’re gonna get stronger too. It’s not gonna be easy, though. So there’s only one thing to do. We’re gonna have to work harder than Paul. And when we meet up with him again, we’re gonna beat that guy! What do you say, gang?

Come on. Get off! Hey, guys, get off!

Oops! Guess I forgot to eat something today.

BUI-BUI-BUI! [WATCH IT NEXT TIME!]

TOTODILE! [YOU TAKE THAT BACK!]

Buizel, knock it off!

Totodile, stop that!

I would say Gible fled over into that cave.

Great, let's go have a look!

Wait a second.

Huh?

It's dangerous around here. We need to be careful.

Look, Dane and Khoury!

Hey, I wonder if they're onto something. [Races past Dawn and Khoury] See you there!

Ash, better be careful, or else!

Ha-ha! [Falls into a sand trap] Wargh!

Pikachu

Pika!

Man, it's a Trapinch sand trap! [Khoury reaches out for his hand] Huh?

Grab on!

[sighs] Thanks, Khoury.

Look, Ash, sometimes you act so reckless, you make me want to scream out loud!

Knock it off! I don't need any advice from you.

[yells at Ash] When I want to give advice, I'll give it!

Give it a rest!

No, you!

Now, now, this is no time to fight.

It's the perfect time!

I told you, I don't need your help!

There's nothing like two people who really care. Hold on...

[off camera] Stop being such a child!

Do Khoury and I act like that?

Fighting is by far the most frightful by-product of the human heart. Haven't I been telling you that time and time again?

Sir!

But since these children pose a very real threat to our plan for a new world order, isn't it only natural to eliminate them? [Cyrus glares at her and Mars] Hm.

Behold! This is just the kind of accomplishment the human heart has the potential to achieve. But when your heart is ruled by emotions, you will but fight. In which case, humanity will never advance! I guess I could let you know what this is about.

I am part of this! Team Galactic is my creation, and you are now in my creation's headquarters.

Headquarters, in here?!

Correct! We're bringing about the dawn of a new world order, so we're gathered here to discard the old world of discording conflict and make a much better one in place of it.

So, it was you who stole the Lustrous Orb from the Celestic Ruins! You lied to all of us and you lied to Cynthia, too!

Lose your rage. It only destroys.

No way! Not when you treat Pokémon that way! This has gotta stop! Now let them go back to their lake!

That can't be done. They're quite necessary for us to be able to bring forth the new world!

Then that means it's exactly as Cynthia said it was!

Obviously, these children must mean something important if the Legendary Pokémon saw fit to bring them all here. We will need to keep them around until our task is completed, just in case.

Sir!

You won't get away with it. Who cares if you're Team Galactic? Pikachu! Thunderbolt, let's go!

Pikachu

Pika... [Uses Thunderbolt] ...chuuuuuu!

Piplup, use Bubble Beam!

Pip... [Uses Bubble Beam like Dawn told him] ...lup!

Croagunk, do it!

Croagunk! [Aims at Toxicroak when the screen freezes]

While a powerful assault begins to take shape against the evil Team Galactic in an attempt to free the three Legendary Pokémon, will our heroes be successful in their mission? Stay tuned to find out!

C'mon, Gliscor. You know you can't turn well at that speed.

Gliscor, you gotta wake up.

Yeah, that was a tough loss, eh, Gliscor?

[looks at Ash] Gliscor. Gli...

Gliscor? Not much of an appetite, huh?

You've gotta eat if you wanna get stronger.

Pikachu

Pika, Pika!

Piplup!

[reluctant] Gli... (Fine...)

Lup. [starts eating]

[reaches for its bowl, much to its reluctance; with a full mouth] Gliscor.

[holds up Gliscor’s Poké-Ball] 'Kay, Gliscor, time for bed.

[reluctant] Scor. (No.)

But, Gliscor, you’ve gotta get some rest.

I guess Gliscor’s got a lot to think about.

Guess so...

Pikachu

[wakes up] Pika? [rubs his eye, then goes outside. At the edge of the valley, Gliscor is gazing at the moon, still mourning about its loss; off-screen] Pika, Pika?

Gli. (Hmm?)

Pikachu

Pikachu.

[approaches them] Gliscor.

[looks away] Gli.

Too upset to sleep, huh?

Scor. (Yeah.)

Hey, what do you say we take a whack at trying to read the wind, just like McCann said?

[heads up] Gli? (Really?) [grinning] Scor. (Yes.)

[thinking] What'd he say about reading the wind? Yeah, got it!

Star.

Gli.

Gliscor, that’s it! Just keep on chasing after the rope!

Staraptor.

Gliscor.

[holding a paper bag] Here, Ash, try using this.

Dawn!

I took a bit tinfoil and used it to make confetti. Watch this. [throws some confetti in the air, which reveals the wind once caught in it]

Whoa, great! Now you can see the wind. [to Gliscor] Now, Gliscor, follow that trail!

[starts following the confetti] Gli!

[is given the bag] Thanks a lot, Dawn. [to Gliscor] Gliscor, look down! [throws some confetti] Here’s more!

[following the next trail of confetti] Scor!

You’re really riding the wind!

Pikachu

[happy] Pika, Pika!

What’s with the sparkles?

That’s flying tinfoil.

For what?

[points at something off-screen] That!

Gliscor! [lands in Team Rocket’s balloon basket]

[to Jessie and James] This Gliscor’s from the twoips. [to Gliscor] What are you doing on a night like this?

[calmly] Gliscor, Gli. Gli, Gliscor, Gli.

Translation, please.

Gliscor’s trying to read the wind so it can battle Scizor for the win.

I see... not.
