Ash Ketchum quotes from Pokémon

Ash, wait! Did you just say you were going to the Opelucid Gym?

You bet! We're heading on over, right now!

Then I guess I have a little bad news for you. I just received word that the Opelucid Gym is closed.

You just had a Gym battle?

[nods in agreement] The Virbank Gym is really tough. You here for a Gym Battle too?

Yeah! I'm challenging tomorrow.

Then you better get ready to deal with a whole lot of poison.

You mean the Virbank Gym is a Poison-type Gym?

Big time. I've never seen a Gym Leader so good with Poison-type moves. Her Pokémon are really tough and really high level as well and we couldn't do anything. First we get poisoned, then our moves will get totally messed up. We were done before we could do a thing. [Two other trainers show up]

Same thing happened to me.

We got poisoned right away, too. [A couple more show up and it's the same story]

So did we! That Gym is too difficult.

I can't believe with just one of her Pokémon, she took out every one of mine.

[finds the entrance to the Virbank Gym using a GPS] It says the Gym is right here.

Huh? That's it? [the door does have the Gym logo and is located in a dark alley. Quite an anomaly of a Gym location]

No question. This is the entrance to the Virbank Gym.

This is louder than a Hyper Voice!

Iris

What did you say?!

My ears! [Get ready Ash, because not only do you have to deal with Poison-type attacks but loud music that can hamper your concentration]

Hey, next challenger. That you? [points to Ash]

Uhh....yeah.

Iris

Whoa. Talk about one tough crowd.

I prefer to think of them as dedicated.

How's it going? You're looking at the Virbank Gym Leader, Roxie.

Hi, I'm Ash and I'm from Pallet Town. Nice to meet you.

Pallet Town? That's in Kanto!

Pikachu

Pika! [You got it!]

And check out that Pikachu! [shows off her Koffing] This Koffing showed up while we were doing a concert in Kanto and we've been tight ever since! Koffing rules!

Koffing. [Nice to meet you guys.]

Koffing, the Poison Gas Pokémon. Koffing hovers in the air, thanks to the poisonous gases it contains, which have a foul odor and can explode.

It's great when Koffing explodes at our gigs! The audience can never get enough!

Only one Pokémon left, Roxie. Three against one.

I wouldn't be so cocky, if I were you. Look. [Pignite is still poisoned and is taking damage.] You're Pignite is not exactly having a party.

Here, a present. [tosses a Pecha Berry for Pignite to eat.] Everything's cool. It's a Pecha Berry.

Iris

Why would Roxie give Pignite a Pecha Berry when she knows it cures poisoned Pokémon?

Ew-ew. [No clue.]

Pignite. [Much better.]

It wouldn't be any fun battling against a poisoned opponent when my third Pokémon energy level is at 120%. This is rock and roll and you gotta pay hard to play hard! [Remember, Roxie is also a punk rock star and has to put on a good show especially during Gym Battles, hence why she gave Pignite a Pecha Berry. Wonder if she does this stunt with other challengers?]

Iris

Don't give up! You can't give up! Let's go! You're just getting started!

Axew-ew! [Get moving, Ash!]

She's right! It's time for you to stir the stockpot! Win this with some of Ash spirit! [Both Iris and Cilan hit the drums as loud as they could]

Cilan, Iris, Axew. Okay, we're gonna battle til the very end!

Pikachu

Pika! [Let's go!]

That's your choice. Use Venoshock!

It's paralyzed?!

Yo, what's going on?!

What's going on is Static!

Iris

Static? Wow!

Pikachu's Special Ability is Static. Garbodor became paralyzed when it hit Pikachu with Double Slap.

Arrggh! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Get a grip, Garbodor! [Like that's going to help Garbodor out of his paralysis, Roxie.]

Etta. [She vanishes completely]

Man, I want to win that Junior Cup so we can battle against Alder.

Pikachu

Pika, pika!

Iris

Well, not if I beat you first!

I guess we're rivals now.

You're right.

Excuse me. Ash?

Yeah?

Somebody you know is waiting for you in Undella Town.

Huh?

Our heroes and Cynthia are off, via seaplane, to Eastern Unova, where the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup will be held. [The seaplane goes high into the sky] What awaits them there? [The camera cuts to Undella Town, a coastal town which lies on the eastern side of the Unova region] Excitement and adventure await, and the unexpected...

Look, Piplup. I wonder if that's the plane they're on.

Piplup! [It should be!]

...as the journey continues.

Huh?

Pikachu

Pika? [Who was that?]

Who's that? [turns around and realizes it's his pals from Sinnoh] Ahaha! It's Dawn!

Pikachu

Pi-Pi-chu! [Good to see you again!]

Hi! It's been a long time, Ash! [gives Ash a wink]

Pip-Piplup! [Hiya Pikachu!]

[does the same thing] Sure has!

Pikachu

Pika-pika! [Hi again, Piplup!]

Osha! [That'll teach ya!]

Piplup! [What do you think you're doing?!]

Piplup, all you alright?

OSHAWOTT! Why did you do that to Piplup? Now say you're sorry!

Osha? ... Oshawott. [Sorry? Ugh... I'm sorry.]

...Lup! [...No, you're not!]

Grr!

Grr!

Man.

It looks like Oshawott like Meloetta.

I'd say Piplup does too. Looks like there's a bit of competition going on.

Lu-lup! [You mad, bro?]

OSHA-SHA! [SHUT UP!]

Iris

Looks like things are starting to heat up.

[unimpressed] Yeah.

You're an awesome chef, Cilan! He'd give Brock a run for his money, right?

Right!

Iris

Who's Brock, Ash?

He's a good friend who was on my journey with for a long time. He was always making meals for us.

My stars, Cynthia! You're as beautiful as I've ever seen.

Iris

Ash, what's wrong?

Over there! It's Cynthia and Alder!

Iris

Wow, you're right!

Come on. What say we forget the tournament and grab some lunch?

I think you'll be dining alone, as usual.

[laughs it off] You're such a charmer!

Huh? It's Trip!

Alder's amazing, don't you think?

Yeah, he's something, all right. I'm really glad I was able to battle him.

So, we'll see you at the Unova League, won't we?

Right.

Dawn, lots of luck when you compete in the Wallace Cup and make sure you win it, no matter what!

No need to worry! And good luck to you at the Unova League!
