Clemont quotes from Pokémon

Grovyle is unable to battle. Frogadier is the winner!

Viola, you're a keeper! I mean, please take care of my brother!

Ne Ne! [Say yes!]

[confused] Uhhhh....

We're a little bit confused.

Pikachu

Pika? [What is going on?]

Bonnie, I told you to stop this a million times!

You know you need someone to take care of you! I think Viola would make you a nice wife!

A nice wife?!

AAHHHH!!! NO! This is so embarrassing! Activate Aipom Arm! [drags Bonnie away with his mechanical Aipom arm] Won't you please just mind your own business?

I'll hope you think about it, Viola! [Bonnie, we don't think Viola would be a good wife for Clemont]

Such a unique little girl.

So, why did you want to go on a journey, Serena?

Serena

[reaches into her pocket and pulls out a blue handkerchief, before walking over to Ash] I wanted to give this back to you. It's yours. Ash, remember when we were talking about Professor Oak's Pokemon Summer Camp back when we were younger?

Yeah.

Serena

Well, you let me borrow this way back then.

So does that mean Furfrou doesn't see you as it's real trainer yet?

HEY! BONNIE!

If two trainers' eye happen to meet, the rule is they have a battle.

Yeah, I agree. I'm Ash and this is my friend Pikachu.

Pikachu

Pikacha! [Nice to meet you!]

Serena

Uhhh...is that really a rule?

I'm not so sure it is a hard and fast rule, but it is pretty standard stuff.

My name is Penelope. Sylveon, come on out! [summons Sylveon into battle]

[examining Sylveon] It kinda looks like Espeon. [He whips out his Pokedex]

Sylveon, the Intertwining Pokémon and an evolved form of Eevee. Sylveon affectionately wraps its ribbon-like feelers around its Trainer's arm as they walk together.

Wow, so it is an evolved form of Eevee after all.

Hey Ash, did you know that Sylveon is a Fairy-type Pokemon?

No. Fairy-type? [Note: In this episode, Ash learns about Fairy-types]

Yeah, Dedenne is a Fairy-type too!

Ne-Ne! [It's true!]

Look at all the kids...

Pikachu

Pika...

This looks like some sort of kindergarten class. Are you a teacher here?

Yes. Did everybody behave while I was out?

You see, my Sylveon and I go out into the fields and forests everyday and the two of us make friends with wild Pokemon and we bring them back here with us.

We do this so the children can meet and learn all about them.

Interesting.

You could have told us that right from the start. Right buddy?

Pikachu

Pika! [Agreed!]

Serena

Oh, so that's why Penelope wanted Ash to come here with her. [You thought Penelope was going to ask Ash out on a date, Serena?]

Serena

So weird! Did I drop some?

I hope not.

Huh? Hey, Chespin! Did you take all the macarons again?

Yeah! We won!

Serena

Alright, we won!

Aww man...and we lost.

I WAS COUNTING ON YOU!

Ne-ne-ne! [Way to go, Clemont!]

Well, science determined our fate fair and square. So, no hard feelings...[Both Clemont and Bonnie's pictures fall off the losing arrow]

Uhhh...question, why do you have challengers climb the wall?

So that inner peace can be achieved.

Serena

Inner peace?

What does that mean?

Scaling the wall. It's the best way I know to achieve the state of enlightenment. When I do that, I forget about everything else and the only thing I can concentrate on is reaching the top. That is my one and only goal. The only thing I want is to arrive at my destination. As long as there is a wall for me to climb, I will rise to the challenge. I want challengers to achieve the same state of enlightenment when they climb up here to me.

Tell me, Ash. Have you already decided which Gym you'll challenge for your third Kalos Gym badge?

Nope. Guess I better start thinking about that.

Serena

I've got an idea! I know the perfect place we should go next! The Shalour City Gym. There's the Tower of Mastery nearby and I've always wanted to go see it!

Yes, Shalour City. Good choice. It's quite nice.

Shalour City? Sounds good to me!

I think you'll have a different battling experience at the Shalour Gym than your typical battle.

What kind of different experience is that?

You'll find out when you get there. But I can guarantee you another challenging and fierce wall for you to climb.

Haha. Great! Then I'm going to Shalour City for my next Gym badge!

Serena

And that's that!

More adventures!

This should be fun! I'm just wondering what kind of gym it is?

One more thing. Let's have a rematch at the Battle Chateau.

You bet!

Serena

Ash, if you want to have a battle with Grant at the Battle Chateau, don't you need to have the noble title of Grand Duke?

Yeah, you're right. I can do that! It's all part of becoming a Pokemon master!

Serena

It is! Diantha is doing an exhibition battle!

Wonderful!

Yeah...

Awesome! Alright! So... who's Diantha anyway?

Serena

HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW WHO SHE IS?!

She's the strongest trainer in all of Kalos, that's who!

Yep, she's the Champion!

Ne-ne-ne! [Now you know!]

Really? No kidding!

Pikachu

Pika. [Wow.]

Diantha the Champion, huh? I'm psyched!

Serena

Not only is Diantha the champion, she also happens to be a world-famous movie star!

Movie star?

Serena

Just have a look up there! [motions towards a movie poster above the gang's head which features Diantha]

That's her in the blockbuster, My Sweet, Sweet Lady.

Yes, that's it! I'll challenge her! [At least Ash is wanting to prove his efforts towards Diantha, much to Serena's shock]

In that case, I'll ask her to take care of Clemont for me!

Den-ne! [Count me in!]

That's even more ridiculous.

Serena

Hey look. Gardevoir is wearing a pendant as well.

Yeah, you're right!

That's Gardevoir's Mega Stone. Mega stones have many different names depending on the Pokémon that Mega evolves. In Gardevoir's case, its Mega Stone is known as Gardevoirite.

I see! As long as you have both a Keystone and a Mega stone, a Pokémon can Mega-evolve!

So cool!

That's actually not enough. A Pokémon can't Mega-evolve unless the hearts of both trainer and Pokémon become one.

Serena

Hearts become one?

It means they need to have an exceptionally strong bond between them. [Hmm...seems to be a nice foreshadow...]
