“Solid as a Solrock” quotes from Pokémon

You're telling me those two little twin friends at the twerps are the gym leaders here?

That's right. Guess they led anybody be a gym leader these days.

With them be in twins, they'll be twice as here when we steal their Lunatone & Solrock and them both to the boss! Just imagine the boss exhausted and depressed from the Daily Grind and putting up what he's losing employees. When suddenly, he's bathed a bright light. He looks up to see Lunatone and Solrock floating peacefully in the air above him. Desire his new powerful friends will cheer the boss up so much, he'll be like a new man! Fully energy again! The boss since so rocking Lunatone will paint the town red. Don't dance 'til dawn. They'll do the fandango! And that's when the boss he'll say, "I say, I simply must reward Meowth and his friends for this fabulous evening!"

Sounds good to us! We'll be rich! We'll be famous! What a blast!

Huh?

What in the world's going on?

♪ Prepare for lunar trouble, a bad moon from outer space! ♪

♪ And sunshine makes it double, 'cause we're here to wreck the place! ♪

♪ A moon of smelly cheese to cause the world's devastation! ♪

♪ A sunny and awful day for all the peoples within our nation! ♪

♪ To denounce by the light of the silvery moon, the evils of truth and love! ♪

♪ To extend our reach to the boss, a flaming gas from up above! ♪

♪ Jessie, the moon maid! ♪

♪ James, the sun dude! ♪

♪ Team Rocket blasts off into the infinity galaxy at the speed of light! ♪

♪ Earthlings everywhere, surrender to your pitiful planet to us now, or prepare, prepare for a fight! ♪

♪ Meowth, that's right! ♪

Team Rocket!

Give those creeps who stole the shuttle!

What do you want?

Just a couple things.

Like your Lunatone and Solrock to be exact!

This robot was built a specially for catching Lunatone and Solrock, and it's called the Globo Robo Extendoarm Greenmeanie CageClaw.

That's got to be the worst name ever.

Can we just call it robot for short?

Why don't you get outta here, we're in the middle of an important gym battle!

Well, look at that hole, our Dad's gonna be furious!

Go, Globo Robo Extendoarm Greenmeanie CageClaw, attack!

Lun! Lun!

Solr!

But it's okay!

Is it okay?

Cause it's about to explode.

Meowth, you are so fired!

Never put your money where your Meowth is!

How's I supposed to know they're gonna use Psychic on us. What am I Psychic?

Wobbuffet!

Team Rocket's blasting off again!

Wobbuffet!

Good surprise attack, but it'll take more than that to break our combination defence!

Anything else up your sleeve, Ash, or is that it?

Guess I'm not going to win by tricking 'em. There has to be something I haven't thought of, but what? [Looks at the sky and sees clouds] That's it! Of course! It's my best shot! I just got to trust my Pokémon's inner strength! Pikachu, use Thunder!

Fine, we'll block it again with Light Screen!

That's what I was hoping you'll do!

What does that mean?

Why did he do that?

Maybe he's just given up?

Hang in there, you guys! I know you can pull through it!

I think they're storing up electricity in their bodies.

But Swellow is a Flying-type!

I know they want to do this for Ash, but couldn't it hurt them?

I can't believe that work!

They're using Thunder as armour! [Yes, people, it's Thunder Armour! How does that work?!]

Great battle, Ash! Your Pokémon absorbed that Thunder with no fear of damage to themselves. [Yet it's a bizarre method]

My sister and I have both learned a lot just from watching you battle.

I guess we still need to work on our combinations more, huh? [Tate nods his head in agreement]

Come on, you guys almost had me with all those combination attacks right from the beginning.

Yeah, your coordination was pretty good once you two got in sync. [This is one of Tate and Liza's flaws in their battlestyle]

That's for sure.

I can see how you two became the Gym Leaders here.

Oh, wow, thanks.

[to Tate] Well, do you have something for Ash, Tate?

Yep. [He opens up the small box in his hand to deliver Ash his 7th Hoenn Gym badge.]

Ash, congratulations.

This is a Mind Badge, proving that you were victorious at the Mossdeep Gym.
