Ash Ketchum quotes from Pokémon

So, what were you thinking about when you were climbing?

Uh...well...I wasn't thinking about anything.

That's perfect. So what were you looking at?

Hmmm...Straight up where I was going!

Excellent. That means you achieve the state of enlightenment. Your mind was crystal clear, unclouded. Now that you've successfully conquered the wall, the next wall you're going to need to conquer is me. And that's what you came here for, challenger.

Keep on jumping higher! [Froakie continues to do so]

How is it possible?!

We saw that Rock Tomb at the Battle Chateau and I knew we had to beat it for me to earn a badge. So we did some special training to come up with a way to counteract that move!

[admirably] I'm beyond impress.

Thanks. Great job, Onix. Please return. [recalls Onix] You're quite a surprise, Ash. It's exactly what Viola warned me about. She advised me not to underestimate you and she was quite correct.

The best defense is a good offense. That's the way I battle.

We'll be able to get all the way to the top!

[a bit smugged] I wouldn't be overly confident. Now Tyrunt, jump!

So it seems we have arrived in our final battle.

I know all of what Tyrunt's moves are. [Dragon Tail, Draco Meteor, Crunch, Rock Tomb] All I've got to do is win.

You're spirit is strong. Although Rock Tomb climb is quite creative, it won't work against Draco Meteor. Also, Pikachu is an Electric-type, while Tyrunt is a Rock and Dragon-type. Tyrunt clearly has the advantage. [Note: Dragon resists Electric]

Excellent! Quite well executed!

We keep on getting stronger even while we're battling!

An exciting battle it is! To show my respect for your passion, I'm going to wrap this up with my favorite move. Time for Rock Tomb!

Well, I'm ready for it! [As Tyrunt uses Rock Tomb...] Alright deflect them with Iron Tail! [Pikachu does so, swatting the rocks away, lodging one into Tyrunt's mouth!]

Tell me, Ash. Have you already decided which Gym you'll challenge for your third Kalos Gym badge?

Nope. Guess I better start thinking about that.

Serena

I've got an idea! I know the perfect place we should go next! The Shalour City Gym. There's the Tower of Mastery nearby and I've always wanted to go see it!

Yes, Shalour City. Good choice. It's quite nice.

Shalour City? Sounds good to me!

I think you'll have a different battling experience at the Shalour Gym than your typical battle.

What kind of different experience is that?

You'll find out when you get there. But I can guarantee you another challenging and fierce wall for you to climb.

Haha. Great! Then I'm going to Shalour City for my next Gym badge!

Serena

And that's that!

More adventures!

This should be fun! I'm just wondering what kind of gym it is?

One more thing. Let's have a rematch at the Battle Chateau.

You bet!

Serena

Ash, if you want to have a battle with Grant at the Battle Chateau, don't you need to have the noble title of Grand Duke?

Yeah, you're right. I can do that! It's all part of becoming a Pokemon master!

Serena

It is! Diantha is doing an exhibition battle!

Wonderful!

Yeah...

Awesome! Alright! So... who's Diantha anyway?

Serena

HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW WHO SHE IS?!

She's the strongest trainer in all of Kalos, that's who!

Yep, she's the Champion!

Ne-ne-ne! [Now you know!]

Really? No kidding!

Pikachu

Pika. [Wow.]

Diantha the Champion, huh? I'm psyched!

Serena

Not only is Diantha the champion, she also happens to be a world-famous movie star!

Movie star?

Serena

Just have a look up there! [motions towards a movie poster above the gang's head which features Diantha]

That's her in the blockbuster, My Sweet, Sweet Lady.

Yes, that's it! I'll challenge her! [At least Ash is wanting to prove his efforts towards Diantha, much to Serena's shock]

In that case, I'll ask her to take care of Clemont for me!

Den-ne! [Count me in!]

That's even more ridiculous.

Professor, what's with that keystone you two were talking about before?

You see, a Keystone is crucial for a Pokémon to Mega-Evolve. The stone a trainer possesses is called a Keystone and the stone a Pokémon possesses is called a Mega stone.

That's right! You're a keeper! [gets down on one knee...oh no, not again!] Won't you please take care of my brother?

Take care?

I told you to stop this!

You see, my brother is a bit shy, so I thought it be good if he married a dependable woman like you.

Me? Marry your brother?

It was a joke.

I wasn't joking! [Uhh...Diantha doesn't have romantic feelings for Clemont]

Excuse me, Diantha? Please have a Pokémon battle with me?

Huh, you?

Serena

Ash! You must know that Diantha doesn't get much private time and here you are bothering her this way!

Yeah, but...I want to be a Pokémon Master so having a battle with you will be awesome because you're the Champion! Please?

Alright. I usually turn down unofficial battle requests, but you shared your chocolate cake with me. Just this once.

[voiceover] Summer of Discovery!

As we thought, the twerps did make the scene.

We hit that on the head. With the professor as host, their appearance was a must.

Let's take it slow. And at the right time, we'll whisk all their Pokémon away in one fair swoop.

Working to earn everyone's trust is a must.

YOU! [Team Rocket turn back to her]

Ah, Madame Catherine, you're right on time.

We're just getting our gourmet preparations underway now!

Good, no skimping, please. Keep in mind, Augustine's Trainers have giant appetites and just love to eat. Prepare a ton of food at least.

[saluting] Yes, ma'am!

And if they really like which you all cook, there might just be a little rice in store.

Ahhh! Yummy! [They bow their heads]

And that's what happened.

Mmmm. Wow! Great! What a marvellous experience. You met Mega Lucario?

Mega Evolution is as cool as it gets.

[voiceover] Everything powers up, including the strength of their moves. It's awesome how strong they get.

I wish I could've seen it too. So I guess you'll be battling Korrina and that powerful Mega Lucario at the Shalour Gym soon?

You bet! The stronger my opponent is, the more fired up I get. I'm gonna win that Gym badge for sure.

Pikachu

Pika.

Well, I hope your stay here will be useful and marvellous at the same time.

Thanks.

This is the cabin you'll be staying in.

[with stars in her eyes] Mmmm, it's the cutest!

Everyone will be split into teams. As you can see, your team is called "Team Froakie".

Team Froakie, huh? Cool.

'Kay, I call this bed.

Ne ne ne ne.

Serena

Oh!

Speaking of summer camp, does this bring back any memories of when you two first met each other?

Yeah, it does. Let's make it as much fun as when we were kids.

Serena

It's a deal.

Travelling through the forest en route to Coumarine City, site of Ash's next Kalos Gym battle, our heroes have met a Pokémon Trainer named Blake.

Right, so your house is really close to this forest, huh?

Yeah, I've been out on a journey for about a year doing some training, and when I smelled all of your delicious food, I figured it was coming from my house. It'll be good to get back home. [Feels his stomach growling and he and Ash laugh]

I made a lot, so dig in. Have as much as you like.

Man, that looks delicious.

By the way, I wanted to ask you about your Pokémon.

[off camera] It's a Meowstic.

Meow, meow. [Turns to Pikachu] Meowstic.

Pikachu

Pikachu.

I can't believe how pretty Meowstic's coat is.

Serena

It's beautiful. [Scans Meowstic with her Pokédex]

Meowstic, the Constraint Pokémon. When faced with trouble, Meowstic will raise its ears and create enough psychic power to demolish a ten-ton truck. [The screen shows a female Meowstic which is white] Its appearance varies, depending on gender.

Wow, so male and female Meowstic look different.

Serena

I totally wanna catch one someday.

[about the soup] How do you like it?

Huh? [Eats his vegetable soup] It's really delicious.

Do you think I could have some more?

Sure thing, you can have as much as you want. Huh? [Sees that Bonnie has not eaten some of her vegetables in her soup] Bonnie, you need to eat those veggies, please.

But I don't like these veggies at all.

But veggies are exceptionally nutritious. You won't grow up to become a first rate trainer if you don't eat them now.

Yeah, but you know there are veggies you don't eat 'cause you don't like THEM.

Well, that's different.

Wait a minute, you really don't like veggies?

Serena

Of course Clemont loves veggies, right?

Uh, that's irrelevant. You finish everything on your plate, Bonnie.

[grumpily] Hmph.

He's only trying to take good care of you.

Serena

Yeah, but the closer they are, the more they fight. [The camera cuts to Blake] Isn't that the old saying?

I guess so.

Serena

OK, ready, Fennekin? Pancham?

Why is Chespin doing that?

I guess it wants to show Pancham up.

Pancham-Cham?! [You wanna take me on?!]

Come on, break it up!

Hold on, whippersnapper, you'll freeze!

Alright, I've got to stop those two!

Young man, attacking head on can be a good thing at times. Other times, you have to take the side roads.

The side roads? What do you mean?
