Iris quotes from Pokémon

Hey, Virgil!

Hey, if it isn't Ash!

Impressive aerial entrance.

Iris

That's so cool!

Come on. We were just dropping off an injured Pokémon at the Pokémon Center.

Oh yeah. This is Bianca and Stephan.

Iris

They're friends of ours we competed with when we were in the Clubsplosion.

Uhhh...is that a good idea?

It's hard to say. Maybe a strategy is to use Oshawott to chip away Hydreigon's stamina.

Are you saying Oshawott is Ash's throwaway Pokémon?

Hold on. Ash wouldn't do something like that. He's going to give it his all, of course.

Iris

He wouldn't do anything else.

I'm so sorry for all this!

Iris

Please forgive us!

NOW YOU APOLOGIZE, TOO!

Iris

BOTH OF YOU!

Pika-Pikachu, Axew-ew... [We're both very sorry...]

I see you feel bad, and you're forgiven. But still, don't ever do that again. OK?

Pikachu

Pika.

Axew.

[takes a deep breath before throwing out Charizard's Poké Ball to call it out] Okay! Charizard, I choose you!

Charizard, it's so good to see you!

So that's Charizard. I've never seen one in person.

I can just sense its incredibly rich history.

Okay! N, Iris, and Cilan, I want you to meet Charizard!

Iris

Uh-oh!

There's a whole lotta love in that Flamethrower, like a family recipe lovingly handed down from generation to generation!

Wow, that Flamethrower of yours is stronger than ever! [How he survives an even stronger Flamethrower is beyond us...]

Iris

It is a bit strange. I was sure that Dragon Rush would have done more. After all, Charizard is a Dragon-type Pokemon.

Huh?

Huh?

Pikachu

Pika? [Huh?]

Raw?! [You're joking, right?!]

Gr? [Really?]

Iris

Did I say something funny?

The thing is Charizard isn't a Dragon-type.

Iris

But I saw Charizard use Dragon Tail and flying around and everything! It sure looks like a Dragon-type to me!

Look. [brings up his Unova Pokedex]

Charizard, the Flame Pokémon. Charizard is a Flying and Fire type. When competing in intense battles, Charizard's flame becomes more intense as well.

Iris

NO! And here I was hoping to catch a Charizard and raise it too! [Axew laughs at her for that embarrassment]

Continuing their cruise to the Kanto region, our heroes now leave Honey Island behind them, and head for their next adventure.

I wonder what Pokémon we'll see on the next island. I'm so psyched.

Pikachu

Pika, Pika!

Iris

The ocean breeze is so nice. It's wonderful.

Ew, ew!

It's going to be a long ride until the next port, so we've got lots of time to enjoy.

How about this? There is the Marine Cup Tournament you could enter.

Huh? Porter, hi.

Iris

When did you get here? I thought the ship we saw you on yesterday had left the port already.

That's right, I'm this ship's porter. You saw my cousin Porter on yesterday's ship.

Iris

I see. It's just like Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.

So, tell us more about that Marine Cup Tournament.

Sure. It's where passengers engage in Pokémon battles all vying to be the top prize winner.

That sounds great. I'd like to enter!

Pikachu

Pika, Pika!

Iris

Me too.

Ew!

There is no better way to evaluate a battle than while sampling the delicious breeze the ocean will serve up.

All right, then I'll make all the arrangements. And don't miss the Ripple Collection. Mrs. Ripple's exhibit will be displayed in the ballroom for everyone to see, as soon as the tournament ends.

Mrs. Ripple?

Yes. Ah, that's her right over there. [Points with his hand to Mrs. Ripple, a lady who is dressed smartly in pink]

Her face looks awfully familiar to me.

I'm sure you've seen her on TV before. Mrs. Ripple is one of the most famous gem collectors in the Unova region.

Something wrong? Come here, Purrloin.

Purrloin? [Mrs Ripple's Purrloin walks into the scene, surprising Cilan] That's right! She's the gem collector who has a Purrloin. I knew there was a reason I remembered her.

Purrloin, Purr.

Ah!

I would guess the chances of finding that Dunsparce again are slim to none.

I guess you're right. [Turns to look at Iris crossly] If Axew hadn't gotten in the way, I would've been able to catch that Dunsparce!

Iris

WHAT? You're blaming Axew?! For your information, it was all your fault for starting a battle without making a plan FIRST!

That's because it wouldn've gotten away by then. Oh! [Sees the broken flowers on the path] Oh! [Remembers when the flowers fell out of Iris' hair and Ash landed on them, squashing them] Uh oh.

A petty disagreement can gradually grow to the point where it turns into a huge argument which becomes difficult to reverse. And I'm afraid that's exactly where those two are headed.

Look, Ash, it's too bad about Dunsparce, but what happened was simply an accident.

[sadly] Yeah.

It's better to make up quickly after a fight rather than drag it out. The longer you wait, the harder it'll be for either of you to apologise.

[sadly] Yeah.

Pikachu

Pi, pika, pi.

Now what, Pikachu?

Pikachu

Pika, pika! [Points up to a tree full of fruit]

Berries, I know. [Grabs one fruit from the tree] I can't believe how good these berries look. Let's eat.

Pikachu

Pikachu. Pikachu.

Taste great, right, Pikachu? Hey, Cilan, want one?

Sure, that sounds great, thanks.

Catch. [Throws a fruit to Cilan who then eats it]

Mmm, it's truly delectable.

Hey, Iris and Axew, catch. [Throws fruits to Iris and Axew]

Axew, ew!

Just give them a try.

Iris

Oh, well. Guess if he insists. This one's for you. [She and Axew start eating their fruits, making Ash and Cilan happy, but then....]

Ew!

Iris

Bleurgh!

Iris?

Iris

So bitter.

Axew, ew.

There's no way that berry's bitter. But that look on your face is the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Iris

I mean it. It's really bitter. I can't believe you. [Turns angry] You gave me a bad tasting berry just to get back at me.

No, I wouldn't do that, I swear.

Iris

You're not just a little kid, ASH KETCHUM, you're a BIG BABY!!! [Throws her berry at Ash, but Cilan catches it]

What did you throw that at me for?

Iris

You're a little kid. No, wait, you're a HUGE BABY!!!!

I wouldn't talk if I were you. YOU LOSE YOUR GRIT FOR NO REASON AT ALL!

Iris

BAD BERRIES ARE A GOOD REASON!

Now, let's all just calm down.

WHY DON'T YOU KEEP OUT OF THIS?!

[Chuckles] Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

Iris

I've had just about all I can take travelling with you! I'M OUTTA HERE!

THAT'S FINE WITH ME!

Axew.

Iris

Let's go, Axew. [Picks up Axew]

Pikachu

Pikapi, pikachu.

And just like that, their petty disagreement grew and grew and got way out of hand.

Iris

Emolga, please make sure Axew doesn't get hurt, OK?

Emol! [Sure thing!]

Iris

Emolga, didn't I tell you not to use Discharge on our friends? And you were supposed to look after Axew too!

Emol! Emol-Emol-Emol-Em... [It wasn't me! Axew only got hurt by a wild Gal...]

[Hits Emolga with Vine Whip and points at Emolga] SNIVY! [EMOLGA DID IT!]

Iris

EMOLGA, APOLOGIZE RIGHT NOW!

Uh, don't look now. Emolga's gone.

Iris

Forget it! Emolga will be back soon enough.

Emolga, you're such a brave and strong Pokémon. I think you should join Team Rocket.

Your fortitude has pre-qualified you to become a team member free of charge.

Act now and you'll get three gourmet meals each and every day along with all the naps you want to take anytime you want to take them! We'll even throw in a Rocket retirement plan.

We have those?

Last time I checked.

What do you say?

Emol... [Let me see...]

[During Emolga's fantasy] Team Rocket and Emolga blasts off at the speed of light!

[During Emolga's fantasy] Surrender now, or prepare for a quadruple fight!

[During Emolga's fantasy] Meowth, that's right!

Iris

[During Emolga's fantasy] Emolga, how could you?!

Emol-Emol! [Count me in!]

Emolga says it'd be glad to be part of the team.

Iris

I just wanna know why Emolga joined Team Rocket?!

Come, come. I don't think Emolga really joined Team Rocket.

Iris

WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS IT THINKING?!! I'm so angry!

Why do you think Emolga would act this way?

Iris

Well, all I did was tell Emolga to apologize.

Maybe it had something to do with that!

It didn't have to attack Pansage for no reason!

Iris

That's right! Pansage was trying to be nice and share!

If you don't like it, I suggest you keep your Pokémon in its Poké Ball, children.

You're going to the Blackthorn Gym, right, Iris? Then you can take the train from the local station to Saffron City. From there, you catch the magnet train to Johto.

Iris

Uh, really? Awesome!

I've always wanted to travel that line. Since we're heading in the same direction, I'll go with you partway.

We'll walk you to the station if you're heading out now.

Iris

I've been waiting for you, Ash!

Hey, Iris! What's with the getup?

Iris

[giggles and spins around in a circle] Pretty nice, huh?

Iris is presently the strongest trainer in Unova. In other words, she holds the title of reigning Champion. [Since Iris is confirmed to be Champion by defeating Alder, it appears to also confirm that Trip failed his goal of defeating Alder. It's also confirmed that Virgil, the winner of the Unova League Conference, did not succeed in becoming Unova Champion as well.]

Great job, Dracovish! Use Ice Fang!

Iris

It can't be true!

Now, Dracovish, spit it out!

Dragonite is unable to battle.

Iris

Oh, we lost our rhythm completely, didn't we? We must get our hearts in sync and become one with each other! Yeah, no more kid gloves! [she summons her...Haxorus?!]

Haxorus! [Get ready to rumble!]

Iris

It's Haxorus!
