Iris quotes from Pokémon

Iris

Since Ash lost, does that mean he has to go back to Pallet Town?

IRIS, STOP!!

[horrified] You can't be serious! I was going to win every battle with you! [sadly recalls Palpitoad]

Iris

[baffled] Ash's strategy was just Palpitoad?

Well, if I have to guess, yes.

Attract, won't you? [Her Emolga complies]

Snivy, counter with Attract! [His Snivy also does so...wait a second...]

An Attract Battle?!

Iris

Isn't Snivy a girl?!

En route to Ash's next gym battle challenge in Driftveil City, our heroes have stopped at a Pokémon Centre for a bit of rest.

Pikachu

Pika! [Squeals contentedly] Pikachuuu.

Iris

Pikachu loves that.

Axew!

True. It's a pleasure to witness a perfect match between Trainer and Pokémon.

Okay. [Touches the zip on his backpack]

Pikachu

Pika! Pika-ee, pika-oo.

Huh? You want more? Okay, buddy. You asked for it. [He laughs as he tickles Pikachu on the head]

Pikachu

Pika!

How's that? Gotcha! Gotcha! Gotcha!

[pointing to Pikachu] Check that out.

Uh. [Sees Robert] Huh?

Tell me, is that your Pokémon?

Yeah.

Can I take a picture?

Yeah, sure.

Great, thanks. [Takes some photographs of Pikachu with his camera] Perfect. Amazing. It's a real Pikachu.

Huh?

Priceless. [The camera cuts to Ash and then pans down to Pikachu] Uh... Awesome.

Pikachu

Pika?

There. The perfect shot. [Takes another photo of Pikachu]

My name is Ash.

Iris

And I'm Iris.

And my name's Cilan.

My name's Katharine. Gothita and I are travelling together on a Gym Battle journey.

Goth? Goth! [Really? Oh, right!] [runs around behind Katharine and pulls out her Unova Gym Badge case from her bag.] Gothita! [Behold our progress!] [The two badges shown are the Basic Badge and the Insect Badge. Katharine must have defeated Lenora and Burgh off-camera.]

You've got two Gym Badges! Cool!

Iris

That's great!

Thanks alot. Are you on a journey for Gym Badges too?

I sure am!

So, how many do you have?

[whips out his badge case and shows off his four Gym Badges] See, I've got four of them.

Awesome! That's two more than I have.

What is it, Gothita?

Goth-Gothita! [I want Scraggy on our team!] [Katharine is still confused, so Gothita impersonates Scraggy]

Do you like Scraggy?

Gothita! [That's right!]

What do you want?

Goth-goth! [We should trade one of our members for Scraggy.]

Do you mean you want to trade one of my other Pokémon?

Gothita! [You got it!]

Excuse me, Ash? It looks like Gothita has taken a real liking to your Scraggy. [Ash gets confused] It's true. So, would you be willing to trade Scraggy for one of my Pokémon? [Here, we go again...]

Gothita! [Please say yes!]

A trade? [Everyone else is shocked minus Scraggy who is busy eating.]

Come out, gang! [summons her Mandibuzz, Darumaka, and Deerling.] You can have your pick from any one of these wonderful Pokémon.

Gothita! [Choose wisely!]

So, who will it be?

I'm not making any trade. I wanna raise the Pokémon I already have and help them get stronger.

Iris

Course he does!

Now what do we do? We've been turned down.

Goth! Goth! Gothita! [We fight for Scraggy and it will be ours should we win!]

Oh, you mean you want to have a Pokémon battle with them and if we win, they'll trade. [to Ash] Come on, Ash, please? Gothita can be so stubborn once it makes its mind up, so if we battle and I win, will you trade with me, please?

I told you, no! Besides, Scraggy doesn't have that much battle experience. [And you wonder why he failed to become a Scrafty.]

You don't have to use Scraggy. As far as I'm concerned, you can choose any Pokémon you want.

Uhhh...no thanks, I'll pass on that. [Gothita gets annoyed. One glare is enough to have Katharine act rude towards Ash]

I see. I guess that means you don't think you can beat me.

WHAT?! That's not it!

Say what you want, you're just afraid of losing.

Yeah, you're wrong!

And you call yourself a Pokémon trainer, do you? Turning down an innocent Pokémon battle challenge. Pathetic, isn't it, Gothita? [Gothita agrees. Don't try to imitate Paul, Katharine.] You know what? I bet your badges are all fakes and you made them yourself, didn't you, Ash? It's okay, you can admit it.

I did not! I earned each and every one of them with my Pokémon battling hard!

In that case, why don't you relax and accept my battle challenge? After all, you've got four whole badges! [And yet, you have two!]

Alright then! I'll battle with you!

As our heroes make their way to the Driftveil City Gym and Ash's next Gym Battle, Ash has enlisted Cilan for a practice battle.

Okay, Cilan, we'll make the first move.

Ready when you are.

Now, Swadloon, String Shot!

Ah, Pikachu!

You OK?

Iris

Huh?

What's going on?

Deino!

Iris

A Deino! Wow, so cute.

[voiceover] The Lonely Deino!

Deino, the Irate Pokémon. Because Deino never stops biting anything it can, it is dangerous to approach without taking precautions.

Deino! [Runs off and crashes through some rocks]

Iris

Deino's a Dragon-Type, so leave it to me. [Approaches Deino] Deino, hi!

Deino! [Uses Headbutt on Iris who then lands on Axew]

Iris.

Pikachu

Pika!

[off camera] Oh!

Huh? [Sees two more Deinos eating the group's lunch] Not another Deino.

Oh, they're gobbling up all our food!

[crossly] Nothing ticks me off more than stealing my food!

Deino.

Use String Shot, Swadloon, and catch those Deino quick!

Swadloon! [Uses String Shot, but it misses the two Deinos, one of which uses Headbutt on Ash]

Deino!

Ah!

You just calm down! [Tries to catch the other Deino but fails]

Iris

Interesting! You want me to catch you, right? Okay.

Axew!

I want to catch one, too. Don't be selfish.

Pikachu

Pika!

Iris

Come on! This was my idea. What a kid.

Is that a Lilligant?

Yes, it is.

Lilligant, the Flowering Pokémon. The beautiful flower on Lilligant's head gives off a relaxing fragrance, although getting it to bloom can be difficult even for a veteran Trainer.

Well, you see, in the past, Lilligant has always helped me out while I search the forest for Revival Herbs, but then Lilligant started getting sick. And Lilligant's not the only one. [The camera cuts to the outside of Lewis' lodge] There's a group of Cottonee that always fly above the fields here. They've gotten sick as well.

But do you have any idea why?

No, I wish I did.

Lilligant and Cottonee are both grass-type Pokémon.

Yeah, it's possible that the land itself is somehow sick. That could be affecting them.

Why not use Revival Herbs?

Because I can't find any. Without Lilligant, it's next to impossible and the Revival Herbs I do find are dried out. I'm sorry you came all this way for nothing.

Don't worry.

Iris

Do you have any idea why Revival Herbs only grow on this island?

Mm-hm. Well, it's kind of a long story, but I'll give it a shot. [Goes over to the shelf behind him] It's an ancient legend of Milos Island.

Iris

And why it's called the Island of Legends.

That's right. [He shows Ash and his friends an ancient picture] It all started long ago. There's the legend of Landorus, the Abundance Pokémon. In ancient times, Landorus got caught in the middle of a battle between Savage Thundurus, the Bolt Strike Pokémon, and fierce Tornadus, the Cyclone Pokémon. So, Landorus came between them to try to stop their fighting, but Landorus was horribly wounded as a result. Then the inhabitants of the island used some Revival Herbs to heal Landorus' wounds. After regaining its strength, Landorus drove the battling Thundurus and Tornadus away. To thank the people who healed it, Landorus transformed the land into a fertile paradise. At least, that's how the legend goes.

Oh!

There's always been an abundance of Revival Herbs since then.

So that's why.

But with this, if things don't change, Lilligant and Cottonee will get weaker while the whole forest dries up.

No way!

We need it to rain, so, tomorrow, we're having a rain-making ceremony.

Iris

Huh?

Rain-making ceremony?

And that will make it rain?

Of course.

Iris

Amazing. This really is the Island of Legends!

Iris

[To Tepig and Oshawott] We wouldn't be in this mess if you two hadn't started fighting!

Tepig-Tepig-Tepig! [Oshawott was the one who started it first!]

Oshawott-Osha! [No, it was Tepig!]

Iris

Stop it! You both had better hope Axew's OK!

Vy-Snivy-Snivy! [Pull yourselves together!]

Of all the ridiculous... STOP THIS!!!

Iris

Cilan!

I'M COMING TOO!

[voiceover] Search for the Clubultimate!

Maintenant, it's Evaluation time, s'il vous plait. [Points to her opponent] It is my duty as a Pokémon connoisseusse to offer a cool and elegant move pour vous. Attention, Dewott, Ice Beam!

Dewott! [Here comes Ice Beam!] [Uses Ice Beam]

They're using Ice Beam! When did they learn that?

Iris

Dodge it, Excadrill.

Third time's the charm.

Wott! [Dodge this!] [Uses Ice Beam which uses Excadrill back. When the dust clears, it is revealed that some ice is stuck to Excadrill's body]

Ex! [How stupid are you?!] [Breaks the ice]

And Excadrill deflects the Ice Beam. So, Don George, your thoughts about that?

Dewott's attacks are looking pretty sharp out there. But Excadrill's looking very confident as well. I would expect a tough battle.

Dewott may be stronger than I had originally thought. Excadrill and Iris may be facing a tough match.

Well those two had better win that tough match. I'm the only one allowed to beat that Dragon Master wannabe.

Don't worry, she's going to win.

I'm OK, at least I didn't lost to you-know-who. Cilan, next time we battle, watch out - I'll win before you know what hit you. And stop with those boring remarks.

Relax, Burgundy. I look forward to watching you get stronger.

And as for you, Iris - next time you're going down.

Not so fast! The only trainer who's going to beat Iris is me.

Iris

Excuse me, but you have to get through the first round first.

Hey, Trip. Done eating? Aren't you battling Bianca?

I suggest you worry about your own battles and not mine.

Huh?

Take your Scraggy. [A flashback with Scraggy using Focus Blast plays] Scraggy seems to have learned Focus Blast, but it's obvious you can't depend on it. [The flashback ends] It needs to be more accurate. To be blunt, it's low-class.

What?! Hey, Trip, hold on. Ugh! [Turns to Scraggy] Scraggy, I want to see your Focus Blast again.

Scraggy. [Ok, then.]

Wow. Thanks Emolga. Swadloon evolved because of you. That was a great battle.

Emol? Emol-Emol-Emol! [I did? I mean, thanks! I'm glad I could help your Swadloon evolve in battle!]

Iris

You're the best, Emolga!

All right, it's dinner time, everybody. [The Pokémon start eating their food] Wow! look at them go. They must really like it a lot.

Tepig? [He sees his former trainer, Shamus] Te... [Starts remembering how he got abandoned by Shamus] Tepig! [Runs up to Shamus delightfully] Tepig! Tepig! Tepig!

[Looks down to Tepig] Hmm? What's your problem?

Huh? [Gets out of his seat] That's my Tepig. Sorry.

[to Ash] Huh? Oh, it's you.

Hey! Come here, Tepig.

Tepig? [Puts his paw on Shamus' right leg] Tepig!

Tepig, what's up?

Tepig seems to have taken a liking to that trainer, I would say.

Iris

Huh? Ash, remember that Tepig was abandoned by its original Trainer?

Uh, it was?

[horrified] Oh! [Flashback to when he tried to get the rope around Tepig's snout] Who could have done such a thing? [The flashback ends] I think it was at the battle club in Accumula Town.

I see. This all must have happened before I started travelling with you.

[turning to Shamus] Could that be the guy?

Iris

It's as clear as the hair on my head! [Goes to confront Shamus]

Huh?

Iris, wait! [He and Cilan go to confront Shamus as well]

All right, what do you clowns want now?

I think my Tepig might be the same Pokémon you abandoned back at the Accumula Battle Club.

Oh? [Turns to Tepig] Huh. Lucky for you, this guy gave you a break.

Iris

[enraged] HOW dare you just throw away a Pokémon like that?!

I do what I want, thank you. It just felt right at the time.

Iris

[enraged] THAT'S JUST WRONG! SAY YOU'RE SORRY RIGHT NOW!

Iris is right.

Not on your life. What a waste! [Throws Tepig and Ash catches him]

Hey, look!

Now let's just relax. It's judgement time!

Huh? Who's this yoyo?

I am not a yoyo. [Puts on a judge's costume] In fact, I happen to be a judge connoisseur.
