Pokémon Season 25 quotes

Leaf.

Flare, flare.

This is the Eevee Evolution Lab, where today, Eevee is having a health check up.

[Turns round to Chloe] Perfect health. Eevee's doing just fine.

That's wonderful.

Eevee.

So, how have you and Eevee been spending your time lately?

It's been great, we took a trip to see Sylveon. [A flashback occurs] And we even performed in a Pokémon Contest Spectacular. Eevee even used Fairy Wind.

You really used Fairy Wind? [The camera cuts to Eevee scratching herself] I wish I'd seen you two in action.

Eevee. Eevee vee vee.

After that, we met the Eevee of a friend who lives in Alola. She's Lana.

There's one more. The Eevee path.

Hm?

Eevee can always just stay Eevee, like Ash's Pikachu.

Ash's Pikachu. You're right. So then there are nine paths available for Eevee. Of course. [The flashback ends] Lana taught me something back then, about all of Eevee's possibilities.

That's true. She's so right. You and Eevee will decide, if it's Eevee... [The evolutions of Eevee appear in a fantasy] ...or Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Sylveon. Those are all the evolutions you can choose from.

Right.

Tell me, is Eevee interested in them?

Completely. The thing is, it can't choose. I don't know what to do. Eevee loves every evolved form.

Really?

Eevee vee. [Pinery is right, Chloe.]

Ash, is that you? Dragonite?

Hey, Cynthia!

Sorry, we interrupted you!

Don't be. We're just fine. I'd say that enthusiasm means you're making final preparations before our match.

Yeah, I am! Does that mean you are too?

I am. [to Garchomp] Now, try flying.

A partner...my choice? I decided Grookey will be my first Pokémon!

You'd pick Grookey? Good choice!

Grookey-key! [Glad to hear!]

Then I'd evolve it up to Rillaboom like Leon did, and get it to Gigantamax!

Well first, you have to evolve it into a Thwackey.

Right! Then we'll use a move that is just as cool as 10 million Volt Thunderbolt!

Cynthia, what was your first Pokémon?

You know, I don't even think I know that.

[addressing her Garchomp] This one here. We've been on many adventures since it was a Gible.

Yeah.

I thought you could only use Piplup, Chimchar, or Turtwig?

Right. This one came from an egg.

With Pokémon Eggs, you never know what will come from them, right? [The flashback reveals Cynthia as a little girl with her egg that later became her ace] And anticipating what kind of Pokémon will emerge...it's so exciting! I did everything I could to keep it warm. And when the time came, this is who hatched! [Her Gible] I was beyond overjoyed!

Actually, my Lucario came from an egg too!

And a very strange egg it was...

Strange?

What do you mean?

It wouldn't hatch. No matter who cared for it. It went to lots of regions and still couldn't figure it out. But then the egg called out to Ash.

Whoa!

True and then I felt some kind of aura coming from it.

They call Lucario, the Aura Pokémon, don't they? You're so awesome!

Ash, maybe it was waiting for you.

You think so?

Actually, I've heard rumors. They were talking about that strange egg. So that was you!

Ash, over there! Look!

Whoa! [The scoreboard reveals that Leon only lost Dragapult with Rillaboom being active, while Diantha has Goodra active and lost Gourgeist, Aurorus, Tyrantrum, and Hawlucha. The writers just pulled a "Lost at the League!" on us, didn't they?!]

Ash, I wanna have totally cool battles just like Leon!

You should have lots of adventures first where you catch Pokémon and battle with them.

I'll cheer for you.

Thanks, Diantha. I promise that I won't let you down.

If anyone breaks Leon's unbeaten streak, it's got to be you.

But no pressure, right? I've decided something.

What's that?

Once this tournament is over, I'm going to retire from battling. [This hints that a lot of challengers who fought Cynthia stood no chance against her. Little did Cynthia realize, someone might stand a chance and overpower her...]

Huh? You're retiring?

That Cynthia, using a Pokémon no one predicted. She now controls the field.

You know, that's absolutely vicious!

Didn't I tell you they're strong?

Dragonite's power is slowly drained away.

Wobbuffet. [So horrifying.]

Dragonite return! [recalls Dragonite after recklessly leaving it out in the battlefield open for attacks] Sorry. I promise no one else is going to lose that way.

[in her mind] I'd say he's trying to change the pace with his number one partner.

This isn't good. Electric type attacks won't work on Gastrodon!

Cynthia really has Ash figured out. She wants to keep Pikachu from switching out by taking it down right now.

When it comes to Ash, good or bad matchups make no difference. His attack rhythm is excellent, too. [Diantha is really becoming a fan of Ash...]

My kind of match. I love this!
