Goh quotes from Pokémon

I'm here for the World Coronation series! My name is Ash! I'm battling today!

Wait, your name is Ash? Are you in the Ultra Class? And you are from the Kanto region?

Right, so you're saying you've heard of me?

Wow Ash! You're famous!

That's weird. Marnie should be waiting for you over at Wyndon Stadium.

Sonia

Let me see...He can't sit still when he sees a Pokémon, kind of like a really big kid who just loves all of them.

A kid who really loves Pokémon? You know, that sounds just like Ash.

Sonia

I'll tell you. Leon didn't have many friends when he was small.

Really, why is that?

Sonia

He was probably too busy caring for his little brother [Hop] or doing chores which didn't leave him much time to play with his classmates. But I was his friend, so he saw me now and again. But one day, he befriended Charmander. And as he learned about Pokémon battles, suddenly friends, rivals, and all sorts of people surrounded him. I guess you could say that Pokémon truly expanded Leon's world!

Hey Leon, what's it like to be a Champion, anyways?

[a bit glum] I'm scared all the time.

Huh?

I've never lost a Pokémon battle before. And that scares me a lot. I'm scared I reached my limit and I can't grow anymore, that I can't get any stronger than I am now. [cut to a flashback of the Darkest Day arc] But when that happened...

[flashback] The sky!

[flashback] Could that be Eternatus?

[continuing the narration] I tried, but I couldn't put a scratch on Eternatus. [goes back to the present] I was frustrated but excited at the same time. There are still many in this world that are much stronger than I am. But, I'm still chasing after them! I've got a lot of work to do to grow stronger!

Huh? It should have two sticks. [The one-stick Thwackey runs off]

Oh look, it's getting away!

[throws the Pokéball at the Thwackey. Really, Goh?! You can't be bothered to evolve your own Grookey?!] Poké-ball, go! [Thwackey swats it away] What are you- [rightfully gets hit in the face with the Poké-ball.]

Now, the route from here to Lumiose City Gym…

I'm going to Lumiose City Gym, too!

Really?

It's my brother's gym.

Nice. Your brother?!

Yeah!

She looks like a nice person.

Grookey-key! [My thoughts exactly!]

Not a chance. She fools everyone with that smile of hers.

And you can trust what my brother says. He didn't stand a chance against her!

Denne! [That bad!]

You could've stopped before the last part!

[opens her eyes where it is revealed they are black just like her hair] Alright, now you've done it!

Alright! Wrap it up! Use Dragon Rush!

[senses something wrong since Ash never fought a Mega Altaria before] Don't do that, Ash! NO!

Didn't do a thing!

Mega Altaria took no damage at all!

How is that possible?!

When Altaria Mega evolves, it changes from a Dragon and Flying type...

...and into a Dragon and Fairy type! Everything is going exactly as I planned in the first place!

Augh! Dragon-type attacks don't affect Fairy-type Pokémon.

Congratulations! Your Ultra Class ranking has risen to ninth.

Thank you so much! [Both Ash and Drasna shake hands]

But it won't be quite so easy to climb higher in the rankings.

Yeah, but I'll do my best! [Pikachu also agrees with the statement]

Sirfetch'd and Dracovish are simply charming. I'll know that I'll cheer for you!

Now don't neglect your training!

Right, Wikstrom!

What's wrong, Bonnie?

I have made a decision!

Pikachu

[who seemingly missed this] Pika-Pikachu!

I mean, Drasna? You're so strong and in control that I don't think there's anybody else for my brother, see?

[blushing] Oh, my stars! Whatever shall I do?

[After getting grabbed by Clemont's arm] Wait, but why?

I told you to stop this a million times!

Milotic, return. [recalls his defeated Milotic] To think that I, who am on par with Champion what's-his-name, could be defeated. I tip my cap. You were elegantly infuriating so and yet it was utterly glorious. Kudos to you, Ash! As I have come to expect from you.

Thank you. It was a great practice for me.

Right! Let's go!

Wait, right there! Now, you are able to claim your Rain Badge. [whips it out from his fingers and places it on Ash's vest.]

[baffled by this since he already earned the Rain Badge from defeating Juan] Oh...

I'm gone!

One more thing! [he takes off his scarf and places it on Ash. The scarf is too long and is covering Pikachu] Please take this as a memento of your battle with me.

Oh...

A battle has been scheduled. Your entrance battle will be against Raihan, who is ranked 8th of the Masters Eight.

Raihan, huh?

What do you mean entrance battle?

If Ash wins, he will exchange ranks with his opponent and be officially confirmed as the 8th ranked member of the Masters Eight who are the strongest trainers in the World Coronation Series. [Be warned, Ash. Once all entrance battles are finished, the final Masters Eight members are decided. This means that other trainers will have to wait until the next season to try their luck in reaching the Masters Eight again.]

Gengar? [Huh, you're the one who zapped me?]

[arrives along with Goh, Grookey and Pikachu] Gengar! No way! Electivire?

Is that your Gengar?

Hey, it's Paul!

"It's Paul"? Who's that?!

Pikachu

Pikachu! [Long time no see, Electivire!]

Electivire. [Hello again, Pikachu.]

Gengar, are you alright? [gets burned] Augh! Hot! [Everyone minus Paul and Electivire are confused]

How can that be? Gengar is usually that cold. [He touches one of Gengar's fingers.] Yep, it is cold.

Well, what do you know? Cold.

You're useless. At the very least, you should know your Pokémon's condition.

Course I know that!

Hey Ash? You know that guy?

Yeah. We go way back. When I travelled through Sinnoh, he was a rival I battled a bunch of times. He's a Trainer who's named Paul.

Mm. [in agreement]

Hey, we ran into Paul.

Professor Oak

Well, well. I was hoping he'd surprise you two here. You see, Paul happened to stop by yesterday, out of the blue.

Professor Oak is a preeminent figure in Pokémon research. If someone wants to know about Pokémon, he's the best to ask. Nothing strange about that.

Roar! [Let's go Gengar, you've some work to do.]

Gengar! [Right, let's go!]

Let's all train. [Charizard, Gengar and the rest of Ash's Fire-mons comply, minus Infernape?]

Pikachu

Pikachu! [Let's go!]

Kay, buddy! [Not so fast, Ash]

You should leave it to the Pokémon. That's what this place is for.

Professor Oak

I'll keep an eye on them! I think you and Paul have things to talk about.

Right!

Infernape, why don't you go and join them?

Infernape? Infernape! [Really? Heading off, Ash!]

Infernape, you take care of Gengar, okay?

Infernape! [Right!] [runs off and carries Professor Oak over his shoulders!]

Professor Oak

Whoa! Hey, stop!

So, Infernape does what Paul does it to do too?

Yeah, cause Paul was its trainer before I was. [Those of you who do not know about Infernape and how he played a part in Ash and Paul's vicious rivalry towards each other during Diamond and Pearl series, here's a brief recap]

Ash met Paul in the Sinnoh Region. Paul put his Chimchar through some extreme training, but when it didn't meet his expectations, he abandoned it. So, Ash welcomed Chimchar into his group. A deep friendship developed which led to Chimchar evolve all the way into Infernape.

So that's what happened.

Yeah and Infernape's gotten really strong.

Grookey-key-key. [Whoa, look at Electivire's tails!] [Electivire's twin tails are swinging back and forth gently]

[Grookey jumps off Goh's shoulders] Grookey, hang on!

Pikachu

Pika! [Hey, wait!]

Vire. [What is it?]

Electivire. [Got it!] [Pikachu and Grookey applaud at Electivire's performance]

Electivire, go keep them busy.

Electivire. [Sure thing.]

Hey Paul, didn't you want to enter the World Coronation Series?

I'm not interested in noisy crowds. [Maybe that's why Paul gave up on region league quests as well? Also, no mention of Paul facing off against Pyramid King Brandon?]

So why don't we face off now? [Paul scoffs as if to say "What are you suggesting?"] Battle with me!

That's a great idea!

Three on three and no switching out. [Nice call back to Ash and Paul's first battle, but this time this battle is less hostile. Remember, Paul had to fix his attitude after his loss against Brandon, as well as be more respectful to Ash following Paul's loss in the Sinnoh League]

Okay!

One thing. You're only allowed to use Pokémon you're taking to the Masters Eight Tournament.

Fine! I'll go get them!

Excuse me? About your three Pokémon? Aren't they the same as some of the Masters Eight? Lance has a Gyarados, Cynthia has a Garchomp and Steven Stone has a Metagross. Is that just a coincidence?

[simply smiles] Professor, thanks for all your help. I'll say goodbye for now.

Professor Oak

You're always welcome to come back here.

Thanks. If you'll excuse me. Infernape, until next time.

Infernape. [Catch you later.]

Shall we go, Electivire?

Electivire. [Right behind you.]

Paul, let's battle again! [Paul waves goodbye, knowing full well that Ash is ready for the trials ahead]

He's acting too cool.

Professor Oak

Paul said he's been officially invited to become a Gym Leader of his own Pokémon Gym.

A Gym Leader?

Professor Oak

That's why he want to learn more and more about Pokémon.
