Valerie quotes from Pokémon

So what do you think, Ash? Sylveon's ribbons can do more than just flutter beautifully, you see. While Fairy Types are graceful, they all possess dangerous hidden fangs.

[highly amused] My, my! Quite an amusing Pokémon!

That girl's [Valerie] a keeper! Will you take care of my brother?

[confused] I'm a keeper?

Serena

[embarrassed] Ah, Ah! It's nothing, it's nothing! Bonnie, stop it!

But you can see how pretty Valerie is.

I welcome you all to my gym. I believe your name is Ash, right? How many gym badges do you have?

I have five of them right now and after this, I'll have six gym badges!

[giggles] Such spirit. You certainly are confident, aren't you? But I won't let you win that easily.

It's just like Serena said. Valerie talks with Pokémon.

[hearing this, she looks back to Ash, but cheerfully admits...] Honestly, I've always wanted to be a Pokémon, so I managed to learn how to speak with them.

Awesome.

It's true I can't communicate with all Pokémon but I can understand what most of what my Pokémon are telling me.

She learned to talk to Pokémon because she wanted to BE a Pokémon?!

I use Fairy-type Pokémon in my Gym. I happened to be quite strong, so watch your step.

[horrified] Sylveon! [The Furisode Girls all stare in shock as well] Kali, make the call!

Right....Sylveon is unable to battle. Fletchinder wins.

[disappointed] Dear, we're out of time...

Fletchinder, use Steel Wing! [Valerie is shocked by this attack]

Alright!

Not so fast. [Ash is confused] MOONBLAST! [Spritzee does so, knocking out Fletchinder]

Thank you, but I must say, your multiple Flame Charges were a good idea. It's been a while since I've been surprised like that.

That Moonblast. That was another dangerous hidden fang.

Ash took much too long and he paid a heavy price for doing that. [Waiting too long for Trick Room to deactivate in order to strike]

Yep, it's strong.

[surprised] My, you can talk to your Pokémon too, right?

Not really talking. It's more like I can sense what they mean. I just kind of know. [Both Pikachu and Hawlucha agree with him]

[admirably] You have much promise.

He's such an interesting boy, so let's see what he's planning. [At this point, Spritzee stops zooming around] Use Gyro Ball. [Spritzee does so]

Hawlucha, catch that! [Spritzee just fell right into Ash's trap! Gyro Ball is a Steel Type move and it does not work well against Fighting types like Hawlucha. As soon as Spritzee hits Hawlucha, Hawlucha grabs Spritzee and spins as well]

I just can't believe Valerie lost...

I haven't seen that in so long.

Spritzee! Sprit-Spritzee? [Spritzee, are you alright?]

[weakly] Spritzee. [I think so.]

Sprit-Spritzee. [That's okay] You gave it your best effort. I'm so proud of you and Sylveon as well. [recalls her Spritzee and turns her attention to Ash.] That was truly well done! I haven't been that inspired in a while.

Ash, you know how a trainer's heart becomes one with their Pokémon when they're backed into a corner during a battle? I'm wondering, why is that?

[a bit confused while looking at Pikachu, Fletchinder and Hawlucha] I'm not really sure...but I do know what you mean!

[smiles before handing Ash his 6th Kalos Gym Badge, the Fairy Badge] Here's proof that you won at the Laverre Gym. I present to you the Fairy Badge. Congratulations!
