Brandon quotes from Pokémon

"Nooo!"

Young man, this battle of yours, was this your true battle? You've done an excellent job raising and training your Pokemon but you allowed your emotions to betray you on the battlefield. [Additionally, Paul was also living in the past, treating this battle like a grudge match. Paul hearing this, looks up to Brandon] We will battle again one day when you learned to control them. [Paul, beginning to realize his own errors, silently bows towards Brandon]

Of course! If I could just rearrange these symbols...

Hey, Brandon, it's me!

Oh, Ash! It's good to see you, son.

Hey, thanks. So how is all your work going?

Good. I have just solved a most important riddle. Observe. [slides the panels around] Very soon, I will have the answer I seek.

You've battled very well, young man.

Yeah, but I've got a lot to learn.

[nods in agreement] A good first step: honesty makes you grow. Let me tell you one thing. A Pokémon battle isn't only about the trainer, you see. It's all about a Pokémon and its trainer truly becoming as one.

I'm trying to learn that, really.

Good, because the only one who could teach that to you is you.

I'm never going to forget that, I promise.

[places both his hands on Ash's shoulders, acknowledging Ash's growth] That, young one, is the ultimate Pokémon battle.

[understanding Brandon's advice] Right!

[mockingly] Alright, what's wrong? And here I thought you wanted to beat the man who defeated your brother.

[bitterly recalling his defeated Nidoking] The truth is, it's only because you defeated Reggie that my victory over you will have meaning. The challenge you always present to Trainers to find their own strength was something my brother wasn't able to do. But I'm not like my brother! My will gives me strength! And now, you'll see it firsthand!

NO! All wrapped up in the past. But why then do you walk the Pokemon path in the first place? Tell me, why do you battle?

NOW, LAIRON! STANDBY FOR BATTLE!
