Dawn quotes from Pokémon

Time for my last Pokémon! Gliscor, I choose you! [sends in Gliscor]

Gliscor!

What's he doing? If Ash wanted to attack from above, wouldn’t Staravia be better? [Actually, Gliscor is part Ground type and Bastiodon's typing (Rock/Steel) is 4x weak to Ground. Staravia is weak to Rock, and no it would not be better]

Lup! (Yeah!)

Ash chose Gliscor after carefully considering Bastiodon’s moves. This is Gliscor’s first battle, so we should expect great things.

Bastiodon is unable to battle, and Gliscor’s the winner! The victory goes to Ash from Pallet Town!

[excited] All right, Gliscor, we did it!

Gliscor! [glomps Ash, giggling] Gliscor, Gliscor, Gli, Gliscor.

That was great, Ash!

Piplup!

Great how you considered Byron's and your Pokémon's type AND played up Gliscor's strong points.

Thanks, Brock. But in the end, it was just Gliscor’s spunk. [to Gliscor; impressed] Not bad for a first Gym battle, Gliscor. Not bad at all.

[happily licks its face] Gli, Gliscor.

Wo...!

Move a little earth and earn a little money.

With honest work and an empty tummy.

And nobody can say we've got rocks in our head.

Hm, we're plumping our pockets.

Because we're Team Rocket!

Wobbu, Wobbu, Wobbu!

Whis! [Opens a manhole cover] Whismur! Whismur!

[off camera] Come back!

Wah?

Pikachu

Pika!

It's nice when primo Pokémon run right into our lap.

Especially when they're owned by twerpish saps.

And when it comes to having the right tool for the right job, I ain't no slob! Boo-yah! [Presses a button on the remote and a nearby excavator crane starts transforming into a mecha] Presenting the Earth-Moving Monster-Mashing Mecha 1!

Primed for Pikachu!

Team Rocket?!

Pikachu

Pi!

Pikachu! [Grabs Pikachu in the nick of time]

Pikachu

Pika!

Ah! [Runs away from the mecha]

Pikachu

Pika!

He-he-he!

It's no holes barred!

Yeah, we eat manhole covers for lunch!

Wah! Hey, turn it loose! Don't bend it!

We didn't bring a can opener!

Now, Piplup, use Whirlpool!

Piplup! [Uses Whirlpool and launches it at the Earth-Moving Monster-Mashing Mecha 1]

Wah!

Brain drain!

Not another machine!

Those twerps are so mean!

Wobbuffet!

That Piplup. Hey, you competed in the last Wallace Cup contest, didn't you?

Me? I did. I mean, we did.

Thought so. Yeah, I still really think you winning that contest was a total accident.

So tell me, were you in the Wallace Cup too?

Well, I was there. The name's Ursula. Of course since I was eliminated in the first round, so you wouldn't remember me.

Wow, what a beautiful day it's going to be today.

You bet.

A nice day for travelling.

Chimchar, Chimchar!

Snover, Sno! [Picks up its bowl of Pokémon food]

Boy, I'll tell you, Snover loves pulling practical jokes.

You said it, Ash.

So what do you say we start getting ready to move on out?

Right, Brock.

[to the Pokémon] Hey, guys, as soon as you're done eating, we're getting out of here.

Okay, now for Grotle. [He stares at something] Huh?

Hm?

Look at all those wild Pokémon.

They're perched on Grotle's back.

There are nuts growing on its back.

Wow, Ash, you're right.

I guess this kind of thing happens once Grotle's adjusted to evolution.

[happily] That's awesome. [Takes a nut from one of Grotle's bush-like trees]

Okay, so Snover grows berries on its body and Grotle grows nuts. Pokémon are so full of mysteries.

Of course, that's part of what makes them so intriguing.

Wow, Grotle, that's so cool.

[voiceover] Stopped in the Name of Love!

As Dawn excitedly prepares for her newly discovered upcoming Pokémon contest in Sandalstraw Town, our heroes find shelter at a quaint nearby Pokémon Centre...

All right, everybody - come on out! [Her Pokémon, minus Piplup, come out of their Poké Balls] We're closing in on our fifth ribbon so let's train like there's no tomorrow!

Piplup?

Hey, are you feeling all right?

Pikachu

Pika?

Pip. [Shakes his head] Pip-lup. [Stands up but goes out of control] Pipee-lupee...ee! Piplup! [Sits on the ground again]

You've been acting strange lately. Are you certain you're all right?

Aargh! Look out, look out, look out, look out! [Runs into Ash whose hat goes flying into the sky]

Argh!

Oof! [Lands on the ground]

Ash, are you okay?

Why, you! I oughtta...

Huh?

What do you think you're doing? I'm gonna make you pay a fine for that. [Sees Ash] Huh - aah! [Points to Ash] It's you, Ash!

Barry.

Pikachu

Pika?

Hey, there, Dee-Dee, long time.

Kenny?

Obviously, you're gonna enter the Sandalstraw Contest too, right, Dee-Dee?

Look, you better stop calling me Dee-Dee or else!

Huh? Just a cotton-pickin' minute - are you trying to say you two know each other?

You know Kenny too, Barry?

Of course. Best buddies... [Turns to Kenny] Right?

Yeah, although we just met each other now for the first time.

See, I just found out both Kenny and I are from Twinleaf Town, so that means we're practically like brothers. The deal is, Kenny's going to enter the contest and then I'll enter Pokémon Ping-Pong for a double win. We're going to do some special training.

Pokémon Ping-Pong?

You don't know what that is? Let me see if I've got it... [Gets out a poster which promotes the Pokémon Ping-Pong tournament] Yeah, here. You see, they're holding ping-pong after the contest, and all the strongest competitors are going to be there.

I remember reading about this at the Pokémon Centre. It's double ping-pong where trainer and Pokémon form a team.

So that means, you want to play Pokemon Ping-pong, right?

Ambi, Ambipom! [Right!]

Take good care of Ambipom! Promise me?

Promise. My Pokemon Ping-pong training center is located in Vermillion City. Come visit anytime.

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.

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!

Ash miscalculated on when to use Synthesis. [Dawn is confused] Using healing moves leaves your Pokemon completely vulnerable. Consider your opponents condition or be an easy target like Grotle.

It sounds like Ash is feeling a lot of pressure.

Do you think so?

Ash wanted Grotle to defeat Honchkrow so badly that it clouded his judgement.

[concerned] Piplup?

Piplup, don't worry, soon everyone will be just fine.

Right, all we have to do is leave it up to Nurse Joy.

Ash, wait. [is stopped by Brock]

[o.s.] Bombs away! [Yanmega pours some dirt over the field] After yesterday's trouncing, I sincerely doubt the twerps will be traveling for a while.

Saying they took damage is an understatement at best.

True, but seeing a joust like that makes it worthwhile!

And how? Those warriors were on fire! 'Twas a knock-down, drag-out battle slog fest!

Yeah, and wasn't Chimmy rocking hard?

Yes, not to mention the emotional evolving into Monferno.

But the numbers don't lie, and losing 6 to 2 is a landslide if I ever saw one.

Yeah, bummer!

I'll bet the twerp must be feeling lower than a pit trap.

I'll double that bet.

Attacking twerps when they're at their lowest is Team Rocket rule one.

Can't you turn it down?!

The predator always preys on the weakest of the twerpish herd. The time to pluck Pikachu is now, while the iron is red hot. So we're faced with an opportunity we can't refuse.

It's times such as these that make me grateful for my day job.

If Jessie's yapping was worth money, we'd be rich.

Wobbu, Wobbu, Wobbu!

Pip... Pip?

I just wish there was something I could do to help.

Piplup?

Wow, thanks, Piplup. I get it. You’re saying I shouldn’t be down, too.

Piplup.

That’s it! I just had the greatest thought. And you, Piplup, you're just who I need to help me out with this.

Piplup.

[runs off off-frame] Wow, this is gonna be great!

[holding a first-aid kit] Hap, Happiny. Hap, Hap.

[takes the first-aid kit] Thanks a lot, Happiny. [puts the first aid kit in the cupboard, then closes it]

Brock, I really can’t thank you enough. You’re such a big help.

[gasps] Nurse Joy, I would gladly give of myself completely in order to serve your tiniest desire. [pauses in confusion] Huh? [suddenly notices Croagunk ready to Poison Jab him; hastily] Wait, Croagunk, please! You-You’ve got it all wrong, Croagunk! I was just helping Nurse Joy out! You see, it’s all perfectly innocent! That’s it!

Huh?

[glances at Monferno with concern] Oh, dear. Monferno’s recovery seems so slow. I do think it’s because Monferno took so much damage. Brock, please, do you think you could go into the woods near here and look for some Cheri Berries for me?

I’d love too. I’ll be back soon.

Finding Cheri Berries is a lot harder than I thought.

And one and two, one and two. One and two, great! You’re all looking wonderful.

Buneary!

All right, now it’s Piplup’s turn.

[o.s] Piplup!

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?
