Pathway to Performance PartneringEdit
Thawing an Icy PanicEdit
- [Ramos uses his Gogoat's Vine Whip to rescue Ash from Vanillish and Vanilluxe's wrath]
- Ramos: Hold on, whippersnapper, you'll freeze!
- Ash: Alright, I've got to stop those two!
- Ramos: Young man, attacking head on can be a good thing at times. Other times, you have to take the side roads.
- Ash: The side roads? What do you mean?
- [Ash had just discussed that he is here in Courmarine City for a Gym Battle]
- Ramos: A Gym Battle, eh? I'm sure the Gym Leader would be more than happy to accept your challenge. Well then, see you again. [Ramos rides on his Gogoat, heading back home]
- Ash, Serena, Nurse Joy, Clemont and Bonnie: Goodbye sir!
- Clemont: [freaks out because he realizes something] That man is a Grass-type Gym Leader!
- Ramos: [stops his Gogoat before turning around] Yes, I'm the Courmarine Gym Leader. I'll be waiting for ya! [continues riding back to his gym]
The Green, Green Grass Types of Home!Edit
- Ramos: [seeing Ash tear through the weeds at a rapid pace] No, no. Ash, you mustn't yank the weeds out so carelessly. Look closely. [parts some weeds aways to reveal some new sprouts] See? If you get all caught up with the things that are right in front of ya, you may lose sight of what's important.
- Ash: Lose sight of what's important...
- Ramos: You see, the first thing you need to do is to calm your mind. If you observe closely with a calm mind, you'll be able to discern the important things, especially during Gym Battles.
- Ash: Right, I get you now!
- Ash: Use Double Team!
- [Frogadier creates copies of itself and run around Weepinbell]
- Ramos: Well, that sure is an impressive Double Team. Weepinbell, Grass Knot!
- [As Frogadier uses its frubbles to cover itself from Weepinbell's Poison Powder]
- Ramos: I've never would have thought of that in a million years.
- Clemont: That explains his choice.
- Ash: Double Team, one more time!
- Ramos: No, not again. Weepinbell, Grass Knot!
- Ramos: [while petting his Gogoat] Ah, you're usually so calm. Instead, you're all fired up. [to Ash] You know, I'm all fired up too. Now off you go and use Razor Leaf!
- Ramos: No matter how many times you try, that move [Double Team] won't work. Vine Whip!
Under the Pledging Tree!Edit
- Serena: [inside her thoughts] Wow. Ash and I are all alone. It's...it's almost like we're out on a date.
- [Ash walks through the gate where he is greeted by raining confetti and three men in front of him congratulate him on his win.]
- All three men: You did it!
- Man with glasses: You have the distinct honor of being our one millionth customer!
- Ash: Who, me?
- Man with glasses: Give this young man a round of applause. [The crowd do so congratulating Ash on his win]
- Man on the right side: To commemorate this occasion, please accept this gift.
- Ash: Hey, thanks alot. Really.
The Moment of Lumiose Truth!Edit
- [Chespin walks into the bleachers grumbling over the fact that Clemont did not pick him for the battle]
- Bonnie: Huh? You're not battling, Chespin?
- Chespin: Chespin-pin! [No, I am not!]
- Bonnie: Then you can cheer with all of us! [Braixen and Pancham convince Chespin to do so as well]
- Chespin: Chespin Chespin! [Ok then! I'll do that!]
- Clemont: [recalls Heliolisk] Great job Heliolisk! Take a good rest! You surprised me. I really thought I had you on the ropes. Tell me what that opening you saw was.
- Ash: Its frills.
- Clemont: Huh? What about them?
- Ash: You see, every time Heliolisk uses an attack, it stops moving for a second. So all I had to do was watch and wait for that to happen. [Everyone stares in shock] It happens really fast, but with Hawlucha's speed, we could pull it off and then Hawlucha's High Jump Kick did the rest.
A Fashionable Battle!Edit
- Bonnie: That girl's [Valerie] a keeper! Will you take care of my brother?
- Valerie: [confused] I'm a keeper?
- Sawyer: Bagon, use Dragon Breath! [Bagon complies and hits Spritzee easily] Yeah! I landed the first attack! Huh?
- [The smoke clears and Spritzee appears unscathed!]
- Spritzee: Spritzee. [That's all you got?]
- Sawyer: How can it be? I'm sure it made contact. [It did, but he's about to find out why it did not work. As Sawyer ponders about it, Spritzee flies towards Valerie, who snickers a bit]
- Clemont: Ah, you see, Spritzee's a Fairy-type and Dragon-type moves have no effect at all on Fairy-types! [What is also worse is the fact that Dragon-types are weak to Fairy types]
Fairy-Type Trickery!Edit
- [Valerie walks over to her podium and takes a bow, finally meeting Ash face to face.]
- Valerie: I welcome you all to my gym. I believe your name is Ash, right? How many gym badges do you have?
- Ash: I have five of them right now and after this, I'll have six gym badges!
- Valerie: [giggles] Such spirit. You certainly are confident, aren't you? But I won't let you win that easily.
- [Valerie interacts with her Sylveon by speaking Sylveon's language, much to Ash and Pikachu's shock]
- Ash: It's just like Serena said. Valerie talks with Pokemon.
- Valerie: [hearing this, she looks back to Ash, but cheerfully admits...] Honestly, I've always wanted to be a Pokemon, so I managed to speak like one.
- Ash: Awesome.
- Valerie: It's true I can't communicate with all Pokemon but I can understand what most of what my Pokemon are telling me.
- Sawyer: She learned to talk to Pokemon because she wanted to BE a Pokemon?!
- Valerie: I use Fairy-type Pokemon in my Gym. I happened to be quite strong, so watch your step.
- [Sylveon swings Fletchinder around with its feelers]
- Valerie: So what do you think, Ash? Sylveon's ribbons can do more than just flutter beautifully, you see. While Fairy Types are graceful, they all possess dangerous hidden fangs.
- [Sylveon collapses and faints from Fletchinder's Steel Wing.]
- Valerie: [horrified] Sylveon! [The Furisode Girls all stare in shock as well] Kali, make the call!
- Kali: Right....Sylveon is unable to battle. Fletchinder wins.
- [Note: Since Kali is identified as the one in the Black Furisode, the other three Furisode Girls are based off the ones the player faces in Valerie's Gym in the Pokemon X and Y games.]
- Linnea: Valerie's using Trick Room!
- Blossom: And if so, that could only mean one thing...
- Katherine: Valerie's totally serious about this battle!
- [Trick Room deactivates]
- Valerie: [disappointed] Dear, we're out of time...
- Ash: Fletchinder, use Steel Wing! [Valerie is shocked by this attack]
- [Fletchinder struck Spritzee with Steel Wing]
- Ash: Alright!
- Valerie: Not so fast. [Ash is confused] MOONBLAST! [Spritzee does so, knocking out Fletchinder]
- Valerie: Thank you, but I must say, your multiple Flame Charges were a good idea. It's been a while since I've been surprised like that.
- Sawyer: That Moonblast. That was another dangerous hidden fang.
- Clemont: Ash took much too long and he paid a heavy price for doing that. [Waiting too long for Trick Room to deactivate in order to strike]
- [As Ash sends in Hawlucha into battle, Hawlucha strikes multiple poses]
- Valerie: [highly amused] My, my! Quite an amusing Pokemon!
- [Hawlucha gets hit by Spritzee's Moonblast causing him to hit the Trick Room wall, but luckily, he is okay to continue]
- Ash: Yep, it's strong.
- Valerie: [surprised] My, you can talk to your Pokemon too, right?
- Ash: Not really talking. It's more like I can sense what they mean. I just kind of know. [Both Pikachu and Hawlucha agree with him]
- Valerie: [admirably] You have much promise.
- [Ash orders Hawlucha to stand still and watch Spritzee's movements]
- Valerie: He's such an interesting boy, so let's see what he's planning. [At this point, Spritzee stops zooming around] Use Gyro Ball. [Spritzee does so]
- Ash: Hawlucha, catch that! [Spritzee just fell right into Ash's trap! Gyro Ball is a Steel Type move and it does not work well against Fighting types like Hawlucha. As soon as Spritzee hits Hawlucha, Hawlucha grabs Spritzee and spins as well]
- [Ash merged victorious in his Gym battle]
- Blossom: I just can't believe Valerie lost...
- Linnea: I haven't seen that in so long.
- [Valerie walks over to her defeated Spritzee]
- Valerie: Spritzee! Sprit-Spritzee? [Spritzee, are you alright?]
- Spritzee: [weakly] Spritzee. [I think so.]
- Valerie: Sprit-Spritzee. [That's okay] You gave it your best effort. I'm so proud of you and Sylveon as well. [recalls her Spritzee and turns her attention to Ash.] That was truly well done! I haven't been that inspired in a while.
- [Valerie and her assistant, Kali, walk up to Ash.]
- Valerie: Ash, you know how a trainer's heart becomes one with their Pokemon when they're backed into a corner during a battle? I'm wondering, why is that?
- Ash: [a bit confused while looking at Pikachu, Fletchinder and Hawlucha] I'm not really sure...but I do know what you mean!
- Valerie: [smiles before handing Ash his 6th Kalos Gym Badge, the Fairy Badge] Here's proof that you won at the Laverre Gym. I present to you the Fairy Badge. Congratulations!
Cloudy Fate! Bright Future!Edit
- [As the episode starts, we see many psychic trainers bonding mentally with their Psychic-type Pokemon. Olympia is watching while one of her assistants named Charlene is teaching the students]
- Charlene: Trust your heart with your Pokemon completely! And soon, you will have true vision! There is a heart, heart like hidden deep within our minds. The stars that will guide our lights from our minds to the vastness of space! Yes, we are all truly one with the universe! The truth, each and everyone of us is totally connected to the universe.
- [Olympia breaks up the fight between Ash and pals and Olympia's apprentice, Carrie, by using her telekinesis to confiscate Carrie's third Poke-ball. Everybody is shocked at Olympia' arrival]
- Serena: She's floating.
- Bonnie: It's so weird.
- Clemont: That must be Psychic power!
- Olympia: Stand down now, Carrie.
- Carrie: What? Stand down?
- Olympia: [already furious with Carrie] YOU HEARD ME!
- Carrie: Yes, ma'am...[Charlene shows up also furious]
- Charlene: Hey! Do you have any idea what you just did, Carrie?!
- Olympia: The purpose of our appearance is to admonish Carrie for her actions.
- Carrie: Lady Olympia, I only did it to protect Anistar...
- Olympia: Silence, Carrie.
- Carrie: Yes, ma'am.
- Charlene: [still outraged with her fellow psychic trainer's behavior] This has become a bad habit of yours, Carrie! Acting on what YOU think Lady Olympia's vision of the future means?! HOW MANY TIMES HAS THIS HAPPENED?!?
- Professor Sycamore: Oh my, you're Olympia! Gym Leader of the Anistar Gym!
- Ash: Gym Leader?
- Olympia: Indeed, I am.
All Eyes on the Future!Edit
- Olympia: Keep an eye on the past as you decide who you will be in the future. Remember this as we battle.
- Ash: Right. My path is to get that seventh Gym Badge for sure.
- Pikachu: Pika!
- Olympia: Ha! [summons her two Meowstic] Then let us begin. You will be battling these Meowstic.
- Olympia: [seeing Ash struggling in battle] Well, well. Something wrong? Where's that spirit you showed before?! Alright, both of you [Meowstic] use Psyshock!
- Ash: What do I do?! [looks at the ceiling of the Gym] Yeah! Pikachu, I want to try something!
- Pikachu: Pika? [What is it?]
- Ash: Okay now, listen closely...[whispers plan to Pikachu]
- Olympia: Good, do what you can. This will be your test.
- Ash: I'm all ready. I'll pass your test!
- Professor Sycamore: Light Screen is not able to defend physical attacks. That was a marvellous idea!
- Clemont: Classic Ash battle strategy. Offence is the best defence.
- [Both Olympia's Meowstic take damage from their own attacks, Dark Pulse and Psyshock, due to Frogadier and Talonflame steering out of the way at the last second]
- Olympia: How clever.
- Olympia: Well done. That timing was what I was looking for. [to her two Meowstic] Are you still able to go on? Now both of you use Psyshock! [Tierno should take notes on this battle]
