These are Larry's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series games

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Medali Gym

• In the Treasure Eatery, if talked to during the Gym Challenge

"*munch munch* Mmmph... *gulp*"

Are you a regular here?: "Hm? Oh, yes, I suppose I do come here often."

Is that the secret dish?: "You must be a Gym Test challenger..."

"Well, what I’m having right now is something quite ordinary, but..."

"Here’s a tip for you. A nice squeeze of lemon gives any dish a refreshing kick."

• If talked to again

"Here’s a tip for you. A nice squeeze of lemon gives any dish a refreshing kick. Though...I daresay someone as young as you might not really appreciate that taste just yet."

• Before battle

"Hello."

"I’m Larry. I’m assigned to work as the Gym Leader of the Medali Gym."

"Good job on making your way through the Gym Test."

"And, well...maybe try the other dishes on the menu too sometime. Everything’s good here."

"Anyway, my boss will dock my pay if I spend too much time chitchatting. Let’s get this battle over with."

"Thank you for doing business with us today. I, Larry, will be at your service."

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "I just ate, so...let’s not go too hard."

Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "This is still better than getting cornered by my boss."

Upon Terastallizing his Staraptor: "You’re pretty good. I might end up losing this..."

"Well, you heard the good folks... I suppose I can put on a bit more of a show."

Upon first using Staraptor's Facade: "I think it’s time to show you that real life isn’t all just being true to yourself..."

Upon being defeated: "You certainly threw me for a loop."

• After being defeated

"You’re rather strong, aren’t you? Enough to bring out my poker face, even."

"I lost, so that means I have to give you a badge, but..."

"That battle made me a bit hungry. Care to join me for a meal?"

If the player has less than eight Gym Badges: "Having <number of Badges> Gym Badge/Badges in hand makes it easier to catch Pokémon of up to Lv. <level>. Oh, and they’ll actually listen to you, too..."

If the player has all eight Gym Badges: "If you have 8 Gym Badges, you’ll be able to catch Pokémon of any level. They’ll never question who’s the boss, either."

"The dishes here... They’ve all got flavor. Good flavor, I mean."

"This is for you. Though hopefully a child like you has no need to put on its namesake..."

"Oh, don’t worry about the bill. I do earn a salary, after all."

"Now, I’d better get back to work. If you’ll excuse me."

Pokémon League

"Hello there... It’s me, Larry."

"So, you made it this far."

"I serve as a member of the Elite Four too, yes...Unfortunately for me."

"At my Gym, I use Normal-type Pokémon, since I feel they have a lot in common with me."

"But, well, the boss told me to use a different type here."

"So if you have any complaints, please take them up with La Primera."

"Anyway, time to get to work."

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "Well, I’ll be trying my hand with Flying-type Pokémon this time..."

Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "You’re even stronger than before. Guess I don’t get a break today..."

Upon Terastallizing his Flamigo: "At the risk of messing up my suit a bit...it’s time to get some wind at our backs."

Upon first using Flamigo's Brave Bird: "I’d advise you to stay on your toes, because I’m about to scatter you to the wind!"

Upon being defeated: "Well, that took the wind from under our wings..."

• After being defeated

"You’re a lot stronger than I recall. No wonder La Primera likes you."

"Now then... I suppose the final member of the Elite Four is next."

"It’s your turn, Hassel..."

"Now, where could he be?"

"Come on in, Hassel..."

"Hassel..."

"......"

• If talked to before Hassel is defeated

"...I get the feeling I’m in for another one of Hassel’s endless lectures."

• After Hassel is defeated

"Huh."

"Yep."

"Well, uh, good lu—"

"Ahem... Good luck."

"Congratulations."

Medali

"It’s time for a meeting with the boss, but...seems I’ve got a visitor with no appointment instead..."

"This is absolutely something she’d do. No, no, I understand everything, I assure you..."

Either way: "Oh, of course, it’s no problem."

"La Primera IS my boss, so I have to do as she says...but now she’s ordering students around?"

"I see... So you’re helping the boss free up some time to enter a tournament at the academy?"

"Well, whatever floats your boat, I suppose. I’d never let myself get roped in like that..."

"... ... ...... ... ..."

"Well, let’s knock this task off our list, then. No use wasting time. Shall we?"

"The best thing to do with troublesome tasks is to just get them over with. Agreed?"

Yes "Let’s head to the Treasure Eatery, then."

No "I don’t have all day, you know."

Medali Gym

• Before rematch battle

"You already faced me during the Elite Test, so..."

"I doubt this will leave much of an impression on you. In any case, let’s get started, shall we?"

"I’ll be facing you in my role as a Gym Leader, so I’m going to use my regular team."

"They all belong to the Normal type. “Normal” as in plain...average...unremarkable...run-of-the-mill..."

"I’m pretty fond of them, you know? They suit me perfectly—I’m about as ordinary as you can get."

"People, Pokémon... There’s no need to overcomplicate things."

"Nowadays people only seem to want a shock factor. Something weird, something bizarre."

"At the end of the day, though, nothing beats the relief of coming home, even after a fun vacation."

"When all’s said and done, simplicity is strongest."

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "The boss takes some getting used to, you know. You’ve got your work cut out for you..."

Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "You’re just plain strong, aren’t you? But I always output my best results when it’s crunch time."

Upon Terastallizing his Staraptor: "Time to show what we can really do. Same good work as always, please."

Upon first using Staraptor's Facade: "I hope you find the power of this next move to be satisfactory."

Upon being defeated: "A third serving of defeat, huh..."

• After being defeated

"You’re a bit too much for an average joe like me to handle..."

"But I think I understand now."

"Why I was told to use Flying-types when I battle as a member of the Elite Four, I mean."

"There’s scenery you’ll never even notice if you stick to flat, well-trodden paths."

"It’ll do me good to admire talent that soars as high as yours from time to time."

"Well, if the boss says I should do so, I’ll do so. She won’t catch me doing it for fun, though."

"In any case, I’ve been strictly told to cut down on my overtime hours, so...I’ll call it a day."
