Quotes

Pokémon X and Y

Poké Ball Factory

• First meeting

"Forget it. Quit wasting your time with this person."

• Before battle

"Let's take him/her on two versus one. We must improve our chances of winning."

"There's another one?"

• Being defeated

"Probability is just probability, after all... Absolutes do not exist."

• After being defeated

"Oh my, oh my?"

Lysandre Labs

• Before battle

"Huh?"

"Huh."

"I've seen this kid somewhere before."

"I have no idea. But obviously he's/she's not in Team Flare. Let's get him/her, yeah?"

• After defeating Celosia

"Oh! What a brute! Look at poor Celosia!"

• Being defeated

"Your ability flies in the face of all probability! Just what is the source of your power?"

• After being defeated

"We've been using the electricity we stole from the Power Plant to get everything prepared for activating the ultimate weapon. But it's not like that's all we'll need to use it. Are you following me? We'll need energy absorbed from Pokémon to power the device! Yes! It's the stones on Route 10 that will steal that energy for us and power the ultimate weapon!"

• If talked to again

"That's right. The stones on Route 10 normally put out energy, but when the ultimate weapon is activated, that reverses and they begin to absorb energy from Pokémon!"

In the anime

Bryony in the anime

Bryony made her anime debut in The Explosive Birth of Zygarde!, where Xerosic sent her to retrieve the Zygarde Core that had escaped from Lysandre Labs. She was later seen cornering the Core, but the Core managed to summon its nearby Cells, allowing it to transform into its 10% Forme and counterattack, forcing Bryony and her assistant Grunts to retreat. She was later seen informing Celosia of what had happened.

She reappeared in XY101, where she tried to retrieve Puni-chan from Terminus Cave together with Celosia. After a prolonged struggle, during which Team Rocket interfered as well, Ash-Greninja and Puni-chan's 10% Forme forced Team Flare to retreat.

Pokémon

Bisharp

Debut	The Explosive Birth of Zygarde!

Bisharp was used by Bryony whilst attempting to retrieve Zygarde Core after it had escaped. In XY101, Bisharp was used to attack Ash's Noibat after it gained the upper hand against Celosia's Drapion, and attempted to hit Ash's Greninja with Stone Edge but this attack was easily dodged.

Bisharp's known moves are Iron Head, Metal Sound, and Stone Edge.

Liepard

Debut	XY101

Liepard debuted in XY101, where it was used to battle Ash's Greninja. It attempted to hit Greninja with Shadow Claw but it was blocked with a Cut, although this "bladelock" allowed Celosia's Manectric to get a hit in with Thunderbolt. Once Greninja transformed into it's Ash-Greninja Forme it easily beat Liepard. Liepard's only known move is Shadow Claw.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Bryony (top right) in Pokémon Adventures

Bryony makes her first appearance in the X & Y arc alongside her fellow Team Flare members. She, Celosia, and Xerosic witness the legendary Pokémon Xerneas and Yveltal rampage through Vaniville Town during a battle with each other. They note that they need the Pokémon to power their ultimate weapon, but currently have no means as to capture them.

Bryony is the last of the five Team Flare scientists to become active in the plot. She first takes action when X attempts to sneak in to Team Flare's Secret HQ. She notices that after prolonged usage of her Aegislash, Celosia begun to lose control of herself. As an act of mercy, Bryony has her Bisharp knock Celosia unconscious and then sends Aliana and Mable away. When the ultimate weapon is activated, Bryony heads outside to find the Kalos Gym Leaders and X's friends attempt to keep it closed. Bryony attacks the heroes and uses her intelligence to easily see through their various techniques. When Tierno, Trevor, and Shauna are told the location of ultimate weapon's control room, Bryony chases after the three and attempts to kill them. They are saved at the last second by Clemont, allowing them to continue to the ultimate weapon's control room.

The heroes make their way to the control room and work together to prevent the ultimate weapon from firing. Although the weapon still fires, the combined efforts of the heroes weakened the ultimate weapon enough to prevent its beam from taking any innocent lives. When a revived Xerneas breaks from the control room to the surface with X's friends on its back, Bryony leads a group of Team Flare Grunts to try and recapture it. Y gets to Xerneas first and adds it to her team. She then has Xerneas defeat Bryony and the Grunts with a Geomancy-Horn Leech combination.
