Pokémon Season 25 quotes

[recalls his defeated Infernape] That's why you're the Champion. Thank you. [shakes Leon's hand. Back to training, Flint...]

Good battle. Let's do it again. [sounds a lot like Ash would say...]

Sonia

Let me see...He can't sit still when he sees a Pokémon, kind of like a really big kid who just loves all of them.

A kid who really loves Pokémon? You know, that sounds just like Ash.

Sonia

I'll tell you. Leon didn't have many friends when he was small.

Really, why is that?

Sonia

He was probably too busy caring for his little brother [Hop] or doing chores which didn't leave him much time to play with his classmates. But I was his friend, so he saw me now and again. But one day, he befriended Charmander. And as he learned about Pokémon battles, suddenly friends, rivals, and all sorts of people surrounded him. I guess you could say that Pokémon truly expanded Leon's world!

Hey Leon, what's it like to be a Champion, anyways?

[a bit glum] I'm scared all the time.

Huh?

I've never lost a Pokémon battle before. And that scares me a lot. I'm scared I reached my limit and I can't grow anymore, that I can't get any stronger than I am now. [cut to a flashback of the Darkest Day arc] But when that happened...

[flashback] The sky!

[flashback] Could that be Eternatus?

[continuing the narration] I tried, but I couldn't put a scratch on Eternatus. [goes back to the present] I was frustrated but excited at the same time. There are still many in this world that are much stronger than I am. But, I'm still chasing after them! I've got a lot of work to do to grow stronger!

The Wild Area offers a chance to catch unlimited Pokémon! Or at least that's what I thought...[it's revealed that Grookey ruined Goh's chance of getting an Applin, causing it to run away] Grookey, you could be a little less rambunctious.

Huh? It should have two sticks. [The one-stick Thwackey runs off]

Oh look, it's getting away!

[throws the Pokéball at the Thwackey. Really, Goh?! You can't be bothered to evolve your own Grookey?!] Poké-ball, go! [Thwackey swats it away] What are you- [rightfully gets hit in the face with the Poké-ball.]

It's the Pokémon World Coronation Series Ultra Class! And for tomorrow's match, we'll bring you the 12th ranked competitor, Drasna! And...[Ash's face appears on the television screen much to Ash & Pikachu's shock]

Ahhh! That's me!

A rising star from Kanto who has been climbing his way up the ranks at number 15, Ash! It's almost time, right, Drasna? [Nice that Ash is getting acknowledgement for his accomplishments, yet they still don't mention that he's Alola Champion?]

I believe Ash is extremely talented which makes me very happy to compete against him!

Well, folks, you heard it here first. We've been speaking to Drasna. Thanks again! [The report ends and cuts to a picture of Diantha and her Gardevoir.]

Clemont!

Pikachu

Pika! (Clemont!)

Ash! Pikachu! Great to see you!

Pikachu

Pikachu! (Hey, Luxray!)

Luxray. (Long time no see, Pikachu.)

Your opponent really surprised me! You're battling the Drasna of the Elite Four!

Uh-huh! And my Pokémon are so psyched!

So, for old time's sake...

Everybody, come on out! [Ash's team appears alongside Clemont's Chespin and... his newly evolved Diggersby! But, no Magnemite, Magneton and Heliolisk?]

[Dragonite excitedly hugs Clemont] Wow! It's Dragonite! [Dracovish starts nibbling on Ash's head] Who's that Pokémon?!

Its name is Dracovish. It was restored from fossils found in Galar! I think it's kinda rare.

Hi! Nice to meet you!

Diggersby?

Right! My Bunnelby finally evolved!

Diggersby! Diggersby! (What do you think? Like my new look?)

Now, the route from here to Lumiose City Gym…

I'm going to Lumiose City Gym, too!

Really?

It's my brother's gym.

Nice. Your brother?!

Yeah!

Just the cutting edge I expect. Great, Wikstrom!

I return the words of praise. I'll never lower my guard!

Madam Drasna has truly been looking forward to offering you her greetings.

Nice to meet you. Now Altaria, please say hello, too.

Altaria! [Hello!] [begins spinning around] Taria! Taria! Altaria! [Wee-hee-hee! It's a pleasure to meet you!]

Simply beautiful! Altaria is my number one Pokémon partner. We both wish you and yours the very best!

[nervously] Gee, thanks! Right backatcha! Let's have a great match! [extends his hand to Drasna]

[accepts the handshake] I've done quite a bit of research on your battle history. [starts to crush Ash's hand...and gets a bit sinister] However, your series of easy wins is over as of this day.

Pikachu

Pi! Pi-Pika? [Yikes, she's that threatening?!]

[reverts to her cheery self] And so I bid you a good day! [heads off to the stadium with her Altaria. We all know Ash's bad track record when battling Elite Four members up until this point.]

What did you think of them, Altaria?

Altaria! [They don't scare us!]

Today's battle looks to be most enjoyable.

She looks like a nice person.

Grookey-key! [My thoughts exactly!]

Not a chance. She fools everyone with that smile of hers.

And you can trust what my brother says. He didn't stand a chance against her!

Denne! [That bad!]

You could've stopped before the last part!

Aren't those feathers wonderful? They're protection for Altaria from high damaging hits. [Ash growls in frustration]

[opens her eyes where it is revealed they are black just like her hair] Alright, now you've done it!

Alright! Wrap it up! Use Dragon Rush!

[senses something wrong since Ash never fought a Mega Altaria before] Don't do that, Ash! NO!

Didn't do a thing!

Mega Altaria took no damage at all!

How is that possible?!

When Altaria Mega evolves, it changes from a Dragon and Flying type...

...and into a Dragon and Fairy type! Everything is going exactly as I planned in the first place!

Augh! Dragon-type attacks don't affect Fairy-type Pokémon.
