Iris quotes from Pokémon

This is louder than a Hyper Voice!

Iris

What did you say?!

My ears! [Get ready Ash, because not only do you have to deal with Poison-type attacks but loud music that can hamper your concentration]

Hey, next challenger. That you? [points to Ash]

Uhh....yeah.

Iris

Whoa. Talk about one tough crowd.

I prefer to think of them as dedicated.

How's it going? You're looking at the Virbank Gym Leader, Roxie.

Hi, I'm Ash and I'm from Pallet Town. Nice to meet you.

Pallet Town? That's in Kanto!

Pikachu

Pika! [You got it!]

And check out that Pikachu! [shows off her Koffing] This Koffing showed up while we were doing a concert in Kanto and we've been tight ever since! Koffing rules!

Koffing. [Nice to meet you guys.]

Koffing, the Poison Gas Pokémon. Koffing hovers in the air, thanks to the poisonous gases it contains, which have a foul odor and can explode.

It's great when Koffing explodes at our gigs! The audience can never get enough!

Iris

Whoa. Guess everything's poisonous around here.

But what do you mean by concert?

Get with it. We're one of Unova's most popular punk bands, so give it up for Koffing and the Toxics! [So what was Roxie's band original name was before obtaining a Koffing?] Virbank's Gym is not just a Gym. We jam here all the time and all our fans come out and support us cuz they're totally into battles and great tunes!

Only one Pokémon left, Roxie. Three against one.

I wouldn't be so cocky, if I were you. Look. [Pignite is still poisoned and is taking damage.] You're Pignite is not exactly having a party.

Here, a present. [tosses a Pecha Berry for Pignite to eat.] Everything's cool. It's a Pecha Berry.

Iris

Why would Roxie give Pignite a Pecha Berry when she knows it cures poisoned Pokémon?

Ew-ew. [No clue.]

Pignite. [Much better.]

It wouldn't be any fun battling against a poisoned opponent when my third Pokémon energy level is at 120%. This is rock and roll and you gotta pay hard to play hard! [Remember, Roxie is also a punk rock star and has to put on a good show especially during Gym Battles, hence why she gave Pignite a Pecha Berry. Wonder if she does this stunt with other challengers?]

Iris

It won't drown us out! Axew, cheer us loud as you can.

Ew-Axew! [Right, Iris!]

Iris

Cilan, you're gonna help too! [drags Cilan off to one side]

Ahhh! Iris! [Iris paints his face quickly] I love trying new things, but this is ridiculous!

Iris

Ash has his back against the wall! Quit your yapping and cheer him on!

Oh... [Come on, Cilan, you got to root for Ash like in the other gyms!]

Iris

Don't give up! You can't give up! Let's go! You're just getting started!

Axew-ew! [Get moving, Ash!]

She's right! It's time for you to stir the stockpot! Win this with some of Ash spirit! [Both Iris and Cilan hit the drums as loud as they could]

Cilan, Iris, Axew. Okay, we're gonna battle til the very end!

Pikachu

Pika! [Let's go!]

That's your choice. Use Venoshock!

It's paralyzed?!

Yo, what's going on?!

What's going on is Static!

Iris

Static? Wow!

Pikachu's Special Ability is Static. Garbodor became paralyzed when it hit Pikachu with Double Slap.

Arrggh! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Get a grip, Garbodor! [Like that's going to help Garbodor out of his paralysis, Roxie.]

Etta. [She vanishes completely]

Man, I want to win that Junior Cup so we can battle against Alder.

Pikachu

Pika, pika!

Iris

Well, not if I beat you first!

I guess we're rivals now.

You're right.

Excuse me. Ash?

Yeah?

Somebody you know is waiting for you in Undella Town.

Huh?

Our heroes and Cynthia are off, via seaplane, to Eastern Unova, where the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup will be held. [The seaplane goes high into the sky] What awaits them there? [The camera cuts to Undella Town, a coastal town which lies on the eastern side of the Unova region] Excitement and adventure await, and the unexpected...

Look, Piplup. I wonder if that's the plane they're on.

Piplup! [It should be!]

...as the journey continues.

Lu-lup! [You mad, bro?]

OSHA-SHA! [SHUT UP!]

Iris

Looks like things are starting to heat up.

[unimpressed] Yeah.

You're an awesome chef, Cilan! He'd give Brock a run for his money, right?

Right!

Iris

Who's Brock, Ash?

He's a good friend who was on my journey with for a long time. He was always making meals for us.

I can't do a thing with my hair! It almost acts like it has a mind of its own!

Iris

Ever notice a pattern here? You go through the same routine day after day.

My stars, Cynthia! You're as beautiful as I've ever seen.

Iris

Ash, what's wrong?

Over there! It's Cynthia and Alder!

Iris

Wow, you're right!

Come on. What say we forget the tournament and grab some lunch?

I think you'll be dining alone, as usual.

[laughs it off] You're such a charmer!

I was able to get a good look at you, Iris. I saw how bad you are at controlling Dragon-types. The most brilliant failure I've ever seen.

Like a piece of burnt toast.

Iris

I'm too exhausted to deal with you two.

It's not that bad.

Iris.

Iris

Cynthia.

You did well.

Iris

I did?

Of course, you're wondering why you lost even though Dragonite was listening to you at first, right?

Iris

Right.

You see, it's because Dragonite still doesn't have complete confidence in you yet.

I innocently let my Cinccino out to become more beautiful by getting some fresh air, when your unattractive Emolga attacked it, putting it's beauty in jeopardy. The nerve of your unsaintly Pokémon!

You tell them, my dear Moira!

Iris

HOW DARE YOU?!

And then there's your Snivy! It's unattractive on the outside and the inside!

SNIVY! [TAKE THAT BACK!]

How many times have I told you? Climbing that tower is dangerous! Listen, what would've happened if you'd fallen off? Are you listening to me?!

Iris

Sure, I'm listening!

Alright, don't ever do that again! UNDERSTAND?!!!

Yes...

Really? Ash, you're going to compete in the Unova League?

Yup, that's why we're on our way to Vertress City.

Wonderful! Then I'm certain we'll cross paths again.

Huh?

Iris

What are you talking about?

It's simple.

Virgil's competing as well.

I just completed my journey going around challenging Gyms to help me prepare for my rescue work.
