Grant quotes from Pokémon

I've really been looking forward to your challenge since I saw you battle back at the Battle Chateau. Now let's see which Pokemon you plan to use to scale the wall. And that wall is me. Onix, let's go! [readies and summons Onix]

So, what were you thinking about when you were climbing?

Uh...well...I wasn't thinking about anything.

That's perfect. So what were you looking at?

Hmmm...Straight up where I was going!

Excellent. That means you achieve the state of enlightenment. Your mind was crystal clear, unclouded. Now that you've successfully conquered the wall, the next wall you're going to need to conquer is me. And that's what you came here for, challenger.

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.

Keep on jumping higher! [Froakie continues to do so]

How is it possible?!

We saw that Rock Tomb at the Battle Chateau and I knew we had to beat it for me to earn a badge. So we did some special training to come up with a way to counteract that move!

[admirably] I'm beyond impress.

Thanks. Great job, Onix. Please return. [recalls Onix] You're quite a surprise, Ash. It's exactly what Viola warned me about. She advised me not to underestimate you and she was quite correct.

The best defense is a good offense. That's the way I battle.

Time for my second Pokemon. Tyrunt, let's go! [summons Tyrunt]

TYRUNT! [Let's see if you can handle me!] [You think Onix is bad enough, Ash? Wait until you see how Tyrunt battles.]

We'll be able to get all the way to the top!

[a bit smugged] I wouldn't be overly confident. Now Tyrunt, jump!

So it seems we have arrived in our final battle.

I know all of what Tyrunt's moves are. [Dragon Tail, Draco Meteor, Crunch, Rock Tomb] All I've got to do is win.

You're spirit is strong. Although Rock Tomb climb is quite creative, it won't work against Draco Meteor. Also, Pikachu is an Electric-type, while Tyrunt is a Rock and Dragon-type. Tyrunt clearly has the advantage. [Note: Dragon resists Electric]

Excellent! Quite well executed!

We keep on getting stronger even while we're battling!

An exciting battle it is! To show my respect for your passion, I'm going to wrap this up with my favorite move. Time for Rock Tomb!

Well, I'm ready for it! [As Tyrunt uses Rock Tomb...] Alright deflect them with Iron Tail! [Pikachu does so, swatting the rocks away, lodging one into Tyrunt's mouth!]

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!
