Dawn quotes from Pokémon

Now, Piplup. Aren't you excited to get a chance to meet the Coordinator Ash and Brock used to travel around with?

Lup! [I sure am!]

So, what's Max up to these days?

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

Right! Max is doing great!

That's amazing! So, May, when did you arrive in Sinnoh?

Three days ago. There was something I wanted to do before the Wallace Cup got started. So first, I went to Snowpoint City.

Zoey! Wow, you made it!

Hey, Dawn!

Nice to see you!

I want you to meet a friend. Zoey, this is May. She's in the Wallace Cup too!

I've heard a lot about you. Hi there!

Back at you!

But everyone else performed so well. I'm afraid I'm going to embarrass myself. I'm starting to think maybe it's still too early for me to get back on the contest stage.

PIP, PIPLUP! PIPLUP, PIPLUP! [STOP IT, DAWN! PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!]

What's eating you?! Don't get short with me! After all, I'm doing the best I can and you know it!

It's finals time, and you are there! Thoughts and feelings?

Uh...uh...

Well now, that's profound. A quotable utterance if there ever was one! Remember, folks, you heard it here first! "Uh, uh." The catchphrase for a new generation! Encapsulating all the excitement of the wonderful Wallace Cup, this has been another insightful interview with Jessadia, bye!

Wow, the mainstream media sure are changing.

You stopped our training. Get out!

It's Paul.

Huh? [Turns to Ash]

Gli? Gligar! [Runs to Ash, crying]

Are you all right? We were worried.

Gligar!

Hmm.

Turtwig.

Pikachu

Pika, Pika. [Hello, Electabuzz]

Electa. [Hello, you lot]

Did you have your Pastoria Gym Battle Challenge yet?

I can't imagine why a losing coordinator like you would have any concern about gym battles.

Huh?

Pikachu

Pika?

Paul, what did you mean?

I saw the Wallace Cup.

I entered the Wallace Cup cos Wallace, the contest master, asked me to. He thought it would help Buizel's battle skills.

Bui, Bui!

[Chuckles]

What's so funny?!

Remember the reason I entered the tag battle at Hearthome City?

Yeah.

Well, YOU gave ME a hard time, just because I did it to get my Pokémon in better shape for a real battle. BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU PULLED AT THE WALLACE CUP! GET IT?!

WHAT DID YOU SAY?!

Pikachu

Pika, Pi!

Brock, I smell a fight coming on. [The camera pans right to Brock]

Hmm.

When I was in that tag battle, the only thing I was thinking about was trying to win it. The only thing YOU were thinking about was how you could power up your own Pokémon.

Well, the fact is, I did win it, but you weren't able to win the Wallace Cup now, were you? Another perfect example of just how strong you aren't.

[Growls]

Okay!

We’re all set.

‘Kay, gang, chow time!

Pikachu

Pika?

Come and get it!

That is some of my special Pokémon food. And I made plenty, so eat up.

[laughs] That’s Turtwig for you.

Yeah! [notices Gligar isn't there] Huh? Hey, where’d Gligar go? I’ll find out.

[eating] Croa... croa... croa...

[calling out] Hey, Gligar, come here!

[appears above Ash] Gli!

Huh? [notices Gligar just as he lands on him] Ugh! [Gligar gets off of Ash] Why’d you do that?

Pikachu

Pika, Pikachu?

[uses X-Scissor on the ground] Gli! Gli!

Oh, that’s X-Scissor. Does that mean you wanna do some battle training?

[nods] Gli, Gli.

That makes sense to me... [flashback of Gligar’s battle with Paul’s Gliscor] ...especially after Gligar had that frustrating battle with Paul’s Gliscor.

Careful, you’re going to get Gligar really depressed.

Uh, sorry, Gligar.

Training, huh? So you wanna get stronger, right?

[nods] Gli!

Awesome! We’ll get down to it right after lunch.

Gligar!

As our heroes continue the Sinnoh region trek toward Hearthome City and Ash’s next Gym battle, we find a very motivated Gligar prompting a round of special training.

Bui! Bui, Bui!

Gligar, you’re in the thick of it. Use your eyes and show that winning glare!

[steps forward] Gli! [gasps once noticing Buizel’s evil smirk and growl]

[angrily] Bui, Bui!

[tears up and starts begging] Gli, Gli, Gli...

Well, that’s not gonna work. Gligar, you can’t give up before you start.

Pikachu

[embarrassed] Pika, Pika.

Gligar, now! Use X-Scissor and keep it going!

[powers up] Gligar! [uses several X-Scissors on Buizel, who dodges them easily]

Now, Buizel, use Aqua Jet!

Gligar, what’s wrong with you?!

Ash, wait. Getting mad like that will just depress Gligar even more.

[slightly annoyed] Well, yeah, but still...

Cheer up, Gligar. No need to worry. You’ll just try a little harder next time and you’ll be wonderful.

[hugs Dawn] Gligar.

Man, I don’t want Gligar to get spoiled.

On the other hand, treating Gligar harshly isn’t going to get you very far either, right?

...Yeah. Okay, Turtwig, come out and gimme a hand! [sends in Turtwig]

Turtwig!

Now, Turtwig. Energy Ball!

[starts forming the Energy Ball] Tur...

[afraid] Gligar.

Gligar, if you don’t pay attention, you won’t be able to dodge.

[fires the Energy Ball at Gligar] Turtwig!

[leaps up] Gli!

Now use Steel Wing right from where you are!

[hesitates] Uh? [uses Steel Wing] Gli! [pauses mid-dive once meeting Turtwig’s determined glare and defensive stance] Uh! [suddenly powers down and starts babbling and spinning around]

Huh?

[turns and heads for Ash] Gligar.

Look out! [runs away with Pikachu in tow] Come on, Gligar, not over here!

Of course, NOW Gligar can fly straight as an arrow.

[groans] Uh...

[pointing towards Turtwig] Your opponent’s back over there! [Gligar closes in and lands on Ash’s face] Ah! [removes Gligar from his face] What're you thinking?! [Gligar whimpers] You’re gonna have to stop crying and start toughening up. Let’s try it once more.

Gligar! [flies off]

Gligar!

Where are you going?

Gligar!

Best wear a helmet when Gligar calls.

[laughs] I just thought of the perfect way to utilize that head-hugger.

I’m sensing a scene change.

It’s a doozy!

"Check it out!"

"No, thank you!"

"Wow, Gliscor sure looks strong."

"Yeah, and in total sync with Ash."

"Gli!" [glomps Ash, muffling him and giggling] "Gliscor, Gliscor, Gli Gliscor."

"Guess old habits die hard."

Chimchar, are you okay?

Chimchar!

[about the three Psyduck] They're just too strong!

Okay, Chimchar, return! [Returns Chimchar to its Poké Ball]

[off camera] Ahoy!

Huh? [Looks up to Team Rocket who are standing at the top of the cliff, laughing at Ash's pathetic attempt] Team Rocket!

We've been monitoring your twerpish mayhem.

That trio of troublemakers seems to have you sad sacks stymied.

You're more yellow than they are!

So I guess you can do better than us?

As a matter of fact, our knowledgeable know-how could get you past them lickety-split.

Come on, you can't do that!

Since we're grown-ups, the word "can't" is not part of our vocabulary.

Really? Bet loser's part of it!

Cut stealing the punch line and watch this!

All righty, then, Meowth. Your move.

It's time to find your negotiation groove!

Hey, my pump is primed. Watch me sweet talk those three wacky worry warts! [Walks up to the Psyduck] Yo-yo! Look, it's been a long day for us non-twerps. Okay, so I don't exactly know what your deal is, but I really think making nice is the way to proceed. [The Psyduck get angry] I mean, there's no doubt you can hold your own in any brawl. Which leads me to ask you dudes a favour, if I may.

Are they negotiating, too?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Do you think it'll work?

Same with your guess as well.

With that power of yours, you could help us in our continuing quest to poach the twerp's Pikachu with the greatest of ease and without so much as breaking one drop of Psyduck sweat. Here's the payoff. Do that and there's some serious grub in it for you. A great deal if I ever heard one!

Psy! [They use Hidden Power on Team Rocket and send them blasting off into the sky]

What kind of negotiation was that?

The wrong kind!

Not on their part!

We're blasting off again!

They need to get a hobby or somethin'...

Boy, that's the truth!

"It's Conway!"

"Guilty as charged! Well, my dear, I'll have to catch up with you later!"

Stop! Give those Poké Balls back!

Prepare for trouble, and a blast from the past!

And make it double! Aren't the oldies a gas?

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all peoples within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love!

To extend our reach to the stars above!

Jessie!

And James!

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

Surrender now, or prepare to fight, fight, fight, and fight!

Meowth! Dat's right!

It's Team Rocket!

It's bad enough that we have to put up with your usual routine, but what was that?!

History! A trip down memory lane that got our groove thing back!

We do still have it, don't we? Where everything old is new again!

And now, we're gonna show ya da basics o' beating the pants offa ya!

"Man, oh man, Ash. Commemorative picture, my foot. This is all your fault, you know."

"What?! All my fault?!"

"Argue all you want, but nothing's gonna change."

"Gliscor!"

"Staravia! Gliscor!"

"Staravia!"

"Gliscor!" [glomps Ash as he lands]

"Nice to see you, too."

"Gliscor!"
