Ash Ketchum quotes from Pokémon

That's the spirit!

Pikachu

[excited] Pika!

[softly] Keep it down! Lillie needs to concentrate!

Sorry about that.

Pikachu

Pika.

Beautiful! Who would've thought there would be such a big pond and fountain in here?

What are we going to be doing in here?

Everyone calls me Farley. If you want to move up, you'll have to go through me first.

I can do that!

Then we can move on to a battle.

Now, that's what I like to hear. So, your very first game is called Water Crossing.

Water Crossing?

You're going to cross this pond.

I love to swim, watch this!

Huh? [Sandy jumps in the pond, but when Lana tries to jump in, Farley grabs her by the hand] No! Don't do it! You have to cross over the water, but you're not allowed to swim.

Huh?

You're welcome to use these tools. Or you and your Pokémon can work together instead. The point is to make it across to the other side.

Whoa, how do you get it to work?

Watch. [Places a water shoe on the floor] Like this. You put it on like so. [Puts his right foot in the water shoe. Soon, he is wearing two water shoes as he glides across the pond] And then you simply glide across.

Amazing. Like walking on water.

Wow!

Pikachu

Pika!

It looks easy as pie.

Pikachu

Pika! (Let's do it!)

[smiles, before taking off his hat]: Yeah, well, okay!

Pikachu

Pika! (Here we go!)

Let's show them what real power looks like! Yeah!

Pikachu

Pikachu!!

Right!

Ko...koko!! (Time for the ultimate test!)

Much bigger than a Thunderbolt! 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt! Yeah, this is much, much bigger, our super full power!

Pikachu

Pikapika! (Watch out, Tapu Koko!)

Tapu Koko, USE GUARDIAN OF ALOLA!!!!!!

Pikachu, use...10,000,000 VOLT THUNDERBOLT!!!

Pikachu

PIKA!!!! CHUUUUUUU!!!!!

ENOUGH!!!

Alright, here we go...! FULL POWER!!

Pikachu

Pika? (What is this feeling?)

Hey, can you feel it, buddy? The power of Alola!

Pikachu

Pika? (Power of Alola?)

Ever since we got to the Alola region, we've felt this power in all kinds of places...

During our many trials and grand trials, we've met tons of new Pokémon, made new friends, and had lots of battles with rivals, too! And every time, we've always felt the power of Alola! So, now we're gonna become one with that power!

[voiceover] Thank you Alola! The Journey Continues!

Ahhhhh! [Bewear stuffs honey in their mouths, with Wobbuffet going first, then James, Jessie, and finally Meowth] YUMMY!

Marea? [Feeds Stufful and Mimikyu with some honey from her tentacle] Marea! [The R capsule rings] Mar?

It's headquarters!

Answer it later.

Huh?

Puh-lease! Who wants to see that bob-cut glasses goon gal while we eat?

Or that annoying Alolan Meowth big mouth?

Yes, but still...

Wait! Mimikyu!

Well, good morning, team.

Yipes! It's the Boss! [They stand up to Giovanni]

We bid you an extra-good morning!

I'll get to the point. I'm ordering you all back to headquarters.

Hooray! We're all going back to headquarters! [Everyone is horrified] Headquarters?!

You mean...

Where YOU are?!

Wobbu-wobbu?! (As in, back in Kanto?!)

Giovanni is looking forward to seeing all the fruits from your labour from your time in Alola.

Meowth, Meowth, Meowth, Meowth, Meowth. (Don't be late and let us down)

[angrily] If I had fruits, I'd throw 'em at YOU! [The camera cuts to inside Team Rocket's headquarters] You no-talent LUMP!

Stop that. It's unsightly.

Just put a cork in it! [Takes Meowth away from the R capsule]

Yes, sir!

Now what? We need Alolan product.

True, and fast.

[Racing up to Stufful] Marean. Mareanie.

Stufful.

Mareanie.

Stufful! [Hugs Mimikyu]

Rean! [Bewear strokes her on the head] Mar?

Bewe.

Reanie!

That's it.

The best Pokédex in the universe.

I want to go on an adventure, too.

I'm sorry, Lana. Solgaleo was in a big hurry.

Guess we should expect things like this from you, Ash.

There's one more thing. I have to tell you something.

Huh?

I'm gonna go home to Pallet Town.

Huh?

You see, ever since Pikachu and I came to Alola, we've met you and tons of Pokémon. We learned lots of things at the Pokémon School. Yeah, it's been really the best, but now, I think... I'm going back home for a while and then I'm going to check out some other places.

Pikachu

Pika! [Jumps down onto Ash's right arm]

That'll give me a new chance to meet more new people and tons of new Pokémon and have a lot of Pokémon battles and get stronger and stronger. Someday, I'll do what I set out to do - become a Pokémon Master!

[realising that Ash has a new goal in life] You're not just talking about this vacation, you're really going...

Yeah.

[putting his right hand over his mouth] Aw, man. How about a warning, huh?

Yeah, really! W-What a shock!

The only surprise today was supposed to be Lillie's party.

It seems like I'm getting nothing but surprises, you know?

Ash, I'm sure you can become a Pokémon Master.

Mm-hm. I'll be cheering you on! We all will!

Thanks, you guys!

Take care, Lusamine. [She and Lusamine step back and reveal Gladion and Lillie who are also wearing smart clothes to wear on their journey of searching for their father, Mohn]

I guess... we'll be off!

I'll have a souvenir from Mossdeep City waiting for you when you get back, Lillie!

That's something to look forward to.

I hope you find your father really soon!

Thank you, Mallow!

If you guys need anything from us, please let us know.

You can be sure of it!

Promise you'll write!

Promise, Lana!

See you later. Take care.

Right. Ash, I...

Ash?

Huh?

[approaches Ash] The world seems big, but it's not. So when we meet again...

What else? We'll have a battle! [Shakes hands with Gladion]

This calls for a photo, so gather round, everyone! [Everyone stands or sits in front of the cruise ship that Lillie and her mother and brother will be boarding] Now everybody say, "Silvally!" [Takes the photograph]

Ash, can you hear me?! You know what? I'm really happy I got to meet you! You helped me out so much! After meeting you, I was finally able to become friends with Pokémon!

Snowy!

Magearna!

THANK YOU! [both Snowy and Megearna also bid farewell to Ash]

Lillie... I'm glad I got to meet you, and thank you, too!

Piplup, the Penguin Pokémon, a Water-Type. Piplup is a proud Pokémon and an excellent swimmer, and it has a layer of down that keeps out of the cold.

So weird. I wonder where that Piplup came from.

Pikachu

Pika.

That, Pokémon sure can eat a lot.

Mebun, Scorbun.

Way to go!

[noticing something is off] It can't be! [Ash is revealed to be battling without a Dynamax band] That young man! He's in a Dynamax battle without a Dynamax band!

Now let's not get stuck in the weeds. See this is about how you want to battle Leon, right?

[nods in agreement] Bingo!

I get it. I get it alright. You know, trying to get a battle with Leon is not as easy as you'd think. Just to get into the World Coronation Series in the first place, you enter online and build up your ranking by having lots of Pokémon battles.

My ranking?

Your position compared to others, and based on battling records and statistics, the eight highest ranked trainers then form what's called the Master Class. At the end of the class match season, there's a tournament where trainers in the Master Class battle each other and the winner becomes Monarch.

So does that mean if I submit my entry, I can battle against Leon?

It doesn't work that way.

How come?

Based on whether an entered win or losses in Pokémon battles and looking at the content of battles, entrances get separated into four distinct classes. All recently entered trainers are put into Normal Class. Then, they battle other normal class trainers, and lift up their scores. And those ranked between 100 and 999 are Great Class and above that those ranked between 9 and 99 are Ultra Class.

Uhh...what about Leon?

Of course he's in Master Class, but not only that, he's number one! So Ash, for you to battle him, you have to start climbing the ranks to get up to Master Class. [Now you know why Ash cannot compete in the Galar League]

A battle challenge has been issued.

Huh? That would mean...[He looks around and sees no one else there, except for a lone trainer that just appeared right behind him and the two kids he's chaperoning. This is Oliver from Goldenrod City.]

Hey Ash, what's a battle challenge?

Trainers who are registered in the World Coronation series participate in Pokémon battles in order to improve their rankings.

Of course I'll accept...or that's what I wanted to say but...

We want to see a battle! [Well, since the kids are aspiring to be trainers just like Ash, why not?]

Really? Then I accept!

[noticing Ash chose Pikachu against his Meganium] Too bad. Electric-type attacks aren't effective against Grass-type Pokémon.

You'll see. I'm not losing.

[Pikachu gets hit by Meganium's Solar Beam] No one's ever endured Stanium's [Meganium's] Solar Beam and come out still standing.

Pikachu, are you okay?

Pikachu

Pikachu! [I am! Now I am real mad!]

[shocked] No way! Alright, use Body Slam!

That was a good battle, Ash.

Thanks, Oliver.

But next time, I'm not gonna lose.

Me neither. [Both Ash and Oliver shake hands. Shortly after, Oliver leaves]

Congratulations, Ash! Hey, what's wrong?

Huh? I felt like I was being called...but by who?

What do you mean? I don't see anybody.

Not by anybody here, but...How do I say it? It's kinda sorta like...uh...

You're not making any sense. Although I do remember you said that you heard something back when we met Lugia.

It's a little bit different from that time, too. [Just then, Hayden walks up to the duo]

Excellent battle, Ash! That was a powerful Thunderbolt. You're quite a Trainer! [Both Ash and Hayden shake hands]

Thanks a lot, Hayden!

As a result of today's battle, there has been a change in the World Coronation Series rankings effective immediately.

If we meet again, let's have another battle!

Sounds good! [Hayden waves goodbye and leaves]
