Shauntal/Quotes

These are Shauntal's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Black and White

Initial battle

• Before battle

"'Eyes brimming with dark flame, this man rejected everything other than himself in order to bring about one singular justice...' That's part of a novel I'm writing. I was inspired by the challenger who was just here, and somehow I got a little sad... Excuse me. You're a challenger, right? I'm the Elite Four's Ghost-type Pokémon user, Shauntal, and I shall be your opponent."

• During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)

"Beginnings are important, whether in a good novel or a good battle!"

• After sending out last Pokémon

"It seems this is the beginning of my final chapter."

• During battle (less than half HP)

"I feel we're about to turn the page to the epilogue of this story."

• When defeated

"Wow. I'm dumbstruck! I know a lot of words, but right now I can't figure out how to say this. Perhaps, if the feeling I'm having now is put into words, it will be trapped there. So let me say this... My feeling is you're a great Trainer!"

• After being defeated

"S-sorry! First, I must apologize to my Pokémon... I'm really sorry you had a bad experience because of me! Oh! It's not your fault! This is how battles always are. Even in light of that, I'm still one of the Elite Four!"

• General afterword

"Every person who works with Pokémon has a Pokémon story to tell. I've found that stories where people and Pokémon help each other out are far more interesting than stories about only people, or only Pokémon!"

• If defeated last

"Challenger, if you defeat the entire Elite Four of the Pokémon League, you can go on to challenge the Champion. And you have earned that right. Return to the plaza in the center and check the statue."

Rematch

• Before battle (five variants)

"'The Trainer's thoughts joined with the Pokémon's mind, and a lustrous Aqua Ring unfurled...' That's part of a novel I wrote. I absolutely love writing about the close bonds between the Trainers who come here and the Pokémon they train. Could I use you and your Pokémon as a subject?"

"'"Do you know Thunderbolt?" was his first greeting to me. It wasn't until after we battled that I learned his name was Volkner.' That's part of a novel I wrote. I absolutely love writing about the close bonds between the Trainers who come here and the Pokémon they train. Could I use you and your Pokémon as a subject?"

"'The tiny but strong Pokémon looked up at its Trainer and saw the seeds of doubt taking root as together they faced their toughest opponent yet. The Pokémon sounded a soft cry of reassurance, and the battle began...' That was part of a novel I wrote. I absolutely love writing about the close bonds between the Trainers who come here and the Pokémon they train. Could I use you and your Pokémon as a subject?"

"'This world doesn't exist just for you. And I'll tell you why...' That was part of a novel I wrote. I absolutely love writing about the close bonds between the Trainers who come here and the Pokémon they train. Could I use you and your Pokémon as a subject?"

"'I have no idea what day it is today, but I will never forget it for the rest of my life.' That was part of a novel I wrote. I absolutely love writing about the close bonds between the Trainers who come here and the Pokémon they train. Could I use you and your Pokémon as a subject?"

"The beginning is always important for both battles and novels."

• After sending out last Pokémon

"Oh... I guess it's time to start my last chapter."

• During battle (less than half HP)

"The epilogue of this story is about to begin."

• When defeated

"Wow. I'm stunned. For all the words I know, I can't figure out how to say this... Putting my feelings into words would just be a trap. All I will say is I feel you're even greater than I thought!"

• After being defeated

"S-sorry! First, I must apologize to my Pokémon... I'm really sorry you had a bad experience because of me! Oh! It's not your fault! This is how battles always are. Even in light of that, I'm still one of the Elite Four!"

• General afterword

"Every person who works with Pokémon has a Pokémon story to tell. I've found that stories where people and Pokémon help each other out are far more interesting than stories about only people, or only Pokémon!"

Caitlin's villa

"When I'm writing novels, if I don't have enough input, my output suffers. It's the same thing for Trainers. To grow stronger, Trainers need to have countless battles and learn many things. Then, they must put what they've learned to the test in real battles."

"Rainbow Wing... Silver Wing... They stir the imagination!"

"Distortion World... and the single Pokémon found there... What an amazing scene!"

"No matter how much research I do, I still have no clue. How old do you think Cynthia is? Any idea?"

"I chose my scarf with a certain Pokémon in mind. Do you get it? Using your imagination is important!"

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

Initial battle

• Before battle

""There is one man who wanders the world with a black dragon Pokémon to pursue ideals^B2/white dragon Pokémon to search for truth^W2..." That's part of a novel I'm writing. I want to write down the event that happened on that day... Sorry, it has nothing to do with you... You're a challenger, right? I'm the Elite Four's Ghost-type Pokémon user, Shauntal, and I shall be your opponent."

• During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)

"First impressions are everything!"

• After sending out last Pokémon

"It's not over yet! I'll finish it my way!"

• During battle (less than half HP)

"I hope for a good ending! I hate endings that leave a bitter taste in one's mouth!"

• When defeated

"Do you ever feel at a loss for words when something greatly moves you? To tell the truth... I'm a writer, but right now I'm having trouble putting my feelings into words. You were just that impressive!"

• After being defeated

"My Pokémon and the challenger's Pokémon. Everyone battled even though they were hurt... Thank you."

• General afterword

"Fortitude is needed if you're going to battle, don't you think? Because both you and your opponent get hurt. But if you don't understand the pain, you'll focus on the result and forget about the bonds with your Pokémon. That's why I want to write passages full of heart and soul in my novels."

• If defeated last

"Challenger, if you defeat the entire Elite Four of the Pokémon League, you can go on to challenge the Champion. And you have earned that right. Return to the plaza in the center and check the statue."

""The woman who uses Ghost types, and the woman who uses Ground types. I couldn't ask the reason why their names and appearances are so similar." That's part of a novel I wrote. I absolutely love writing about the close bonds between the Trainers and the Pokémon that I've competed against. Could I use you and your Pokémon as a subject?"

""'Hey, you! Use Overheat!' A Fire-type Pokémon user with a hairstyle that would be great with Head Charge just gave the order and left..." That's part of a novel I wrote. I absolutely love writing about the close bonds between the Trainers and the Pokémon that I've competed against. Could I use you and your Pokémon as a subject?"

""'Go, Volcarona! Use Heat Wave here!' The Trainer solemnly ordered the Pokémon who resembled his first partner..." That's part of a novel I wrote. I absolutely love writing about the close bonds between the Trainers and the Pokémon that I've competed against. Could I use you and your Pokémon as a subject?"

""'Do you know Thunderbolt?' was his first greeting to me. It wasn't until after we battled that I learned his name was Volkner." That's part of a novel I wrote.

• During battle (less than half HP)

• After being defeated

"All the Pokémon on both sides battled so bravely. Even though they got hurt... Thank you."

• General afterword

"It's important to be tough and resilient when you battle, don't you think? You have to accept that both sides will get hurt. You have to understand that the pain of losing is a natural outcome. If you just focus on winning, you can forget that the bond between you and your Pokémon is the most important thing. I try to focus on that bond in my novels. I want them to be full of heart and soul!"

• If defeated last

"Challenger, if you defeat the entire Elite Four of the Pokémon League, you can go on to challenge the Champion. And you have earned that right. Your story is yours and yours alone. Please weave a wonderful tale!"

"Phew... We finally made it to Centra City, Chandelure."

"Now we just need to hunt for a team... I hope we can find some nice people to join us!"

"Oh! Hello there, Flint! I had no idea you were here on Pasio, too."

"What? Oh, yes! I AM planning on competing in the tournament, as a matter of fact."

"What is it? Is something the matter, Flint?"

"Wha–?! Huh? Am I missing something?!"

"Me?! Form a team with you?"

"I'm flattered that you think so highly of me..."

"but if I compete in this tournament, I'm going to be competing to win. I intend to take this seriously."

"My Chandelure? What about her?"

"Hm? I suppose so..."

• Off-screen

"Sure... But I don't understand what any of this has to do with winning the tournament."

• On-screen

"You really think...we can win this together?"

"... ... ..."

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

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

"I'm still not sure I understand your logic, Flint..."

"but I do think we have a chance at victory! With your fiery spirit and my keen observation, I believe we can win!"

"Yes! Let's form a team, Flint–a team of flames, igniting our passion for Pokémon battling!"

""A fervent, hot-blooded pro, ready to charge...and a fresh, young talent, poised for battle... Flames of determination danced in their eyes.""

""The teams were well matched in power and skill...but only one could claim victory in the end.""

"It's time to use that flame to shine a light on <player> and his/her Pokémon."

"Well, I'm an author as well as a Pokémon Trainer. Sometimes it's better for me to take a step back and observe the bigger picture."

"What do you think, <player>? Will you let Flint join your team?"

"I came this way looking for our Pokémon, but I ended up finding Acerola and the others, too! We were just chatting a bit!"

"Oh, how could I NOT write, Morty? Have you seen the wonderful costumes these two are wearing tonight?!"

"Acerola looks like the spitting image of Mimikyu in that adorable hood, doesn't she? It's like she used Disguise herself!"

"Well, it'd be nice if we could give Cofagrigus what they want to eat every day..."

"But unfortunately, only a king could do that."

"By the way, what's your Cofagrigus been looking at this whole time?"

"Hmm?"

"That's...Lear's statue."

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Shauntal

""The bond between them was deeper than the darkest abyss. It would outlast eternity, continuing without pause, forevermore...""

"Ahh, this place makes me feel so inspired!"

"What's the matter, Chandelure?"

"Eeek!"

Hi there!/What are you up to?: "<player>?! G-gosh, I'm sorry! I must have been spacing out."

Thinking out loud?: "I suppose so. I'm in the middle of writing a novel, you see..."

"My imagination must have gotten the best of me as I was gazing out at the beautiful cityscape here."

Are you a writer?: "Yes, as a matter of fact!"

"I'm planning to write a novel set on Pasio at some point!"

"There's an abundance of unique Trainers here on this island, after all..."

"I thought it would be interesting to use them as models for my characters."

"For example, take that hiker over there."

• Off-screen

"He may have a big grin on his face now, but what if he had a tragic past?"

"What if he ran into an old childhood friend here on Pasio and the two of them had a dramatic, tear-filled reunion? It's possible!"

• On-screen

"Oh gosh! I've gone and let myself get carried away by my imagination again. I'm sorry..."

It's OK. Don't worry about it.: "It's just that...compared to my normal routine as an Elite Four member, I'm positively surrounded by other Trainers now."

"It's a constant source of inspiration."

Do you like to daydream?: "I do. I believe that there's a story behind every person and Pokémon out there, and I love to imagine what those stories might be."

"But you know what? The person that inspires me the most is actually you, <player>."

"In fact, you remind me of the hero/heroine of a story I read often when I was little."

"Someday, I'd love to write a story about you. With you as the main character, of course."

What makes us so similar?: "Perhaps it's the way people and Pokémon seem to be naturally drawn to you."

"I think that we can all clearly see how much you care about others."

That would be amazing!: "I think you'd make a wonderful hero/heroine in a storybook, <player>."

"Just like the one I idolized all those years ago!"

"Hm? What's wrong, Chandelure?"

"It looks like Chandelure is the one spacing out a bit now."

Is she bored with the book talk?: "Not likely. She usually listens to me chatter about books for much longer than this, so I doubt it's boredom..."

"I wonder... Maybe Chandelure wanted to star in the novel, so she's giving us the cold shoulder now."

Maybe she wants the spotlight.: "Oh! Maybe you're right!"

"Maybe Chandelure wanted to star in the novel, so she's giving us the cold shoulder now."

"Tee-hee! Don't worry, Chandelure! I've already got the perfect part for you to play in the story."

You two seem really close.: "We are indeed. Chandelure's been by my side since I was a little girl!"

Can you tell what she's thinking?: "With Chandelure, I can make a pretty good guess at what she's thinking by the flicker of the flame on her head."

"She's always provided me with a soft, gentle light to read and study by, ever since she was a Litwick."

"My very fondest memories come from the times we've shared together."

"So of course I'm going to include her in my next novel! How could I not?"

"When the time comes to read that book together, will you shine your light on me like always, Chandelure?"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Sygna Suit Lusamine

"Oh, I see! Because of that, they don't bother each other. Very interesting..."

"Yes, that's right! I really want to put sync stones in a novel I'm writing!"

"That's why I was asking Lusamine about Necrozma!"

"What a splendid dream! After hearing you speak, I am filled to the brim with inspiration!"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Lucian

• Off-screen, as "???"

"Oh, Acerola!"

• After appearing, as Shauntal

"I came to return the book you lent me as reference material!"

"R-really?!"

"My name's Shauntal! I'm a novelist!"

"I'm working on a novel right now! Would you mind reading it for me?"

Pokémon Center

• Random conversation

"My Chandelure and I have been the best of friends ever since she was a Litwick."

"I was only a small child when we first met, long before I started writing novels."

"I often used to read stories by the light of Litwick's flame."

• If spoken to again

"To this day, I still often use Chandelure's flames to light up my work space when I'm writing my novels."

"Under the glow of her light, I feel like I'm able to envision the events of my stories so much more vividly."

"Although she sometimes scolds me if I doze off at my writing desk."

• Random conversation

""And so it was...that a fated meeting with Litwick changed the course of the young woman's destiny!""

"She—I mean, I—became a Pokémon Trainer, and I met my dear Litwick, and I met countless other people..."

"and I discovered that every person and Pokémon out there has a story to be told."

"It was then that I decided to write novels—to tell the beautiful stories of the people I meet and share them with the world!"

• If spoken to again

"I've told all kinds of stories up until now about the hearts of Trainers and their Pokémon."

"My novels are an extension of the world I witness with my eyes and feel in my heart."

"As long as people and Pokémon continue to help each other and enrich each other's lives, I'll continue to write my stories."

""At those words, the young woman's eyes sparkled like the shining flames of her Chandelure.""

• Random conversation

"Even with a wealth of vocabulary, some feelings simply can't be put into words."

"Perhaps that's a topic I should challenge myself with as a writer."

"Yes! Someday I'll capture those indescribable emotions with my pen and share them with the world!"

• If spoken to again

""They walked forward on their path... Together as one, without need for words, believing in their bond of friendship...""

"It's precisely because people and Pokémon cannot communicate through words that drives us to connect through our hearts instead."

"And if so, that means writing about those feelings is my true destiny. Gosh! I suddenly feel so inspired!"

• Random conversation

""The Trainer and Pokémon faced a tall, tall mountain ahead of them. At the summit, their final rival...""

"Hmm. No, that feels a little off, doesn't it? "

"In times like these, it's often better to move on to something new rather than force your way through writer's block."

• If spoken to again

"Wait! The second I just thought about giving up, the most amazing idea popped into my head!"

"I feel a best seller coming on! Gosh, I've got to write all of this down before I forget!"

• Random conversation

"<player>, why do you think people are afraid of Ghost-type Pokémon?"

"I've always thought that all types of Pokémon are equally adorable!"

"One day, I'll write a best seller that will show the world just how amazing Ghost-type Pokémon truly are!"

• If spoken to again

""Mysterious shadows of the darkness... Form a bond with one in your heart, and even the blackest of nights will seem brighter...""

"Yes! A tale that will make the world fall in love with Ghost-type Pokémon! No one could write it better than me!"

"Oh! You could even be my first beta reader once it's finished!"

• Random conversation

"I feel so inspired! The more I spend time with you, the more curious I get!"

"And it's curious in a different way than I'm usually curious about Pokémon. This feels totally new! But why..."

"I'd like to find that out. Would you let me tag along with you awhile longer? I need you to be my muse!"

• If spoken to again

"I think I've found it! The sparkling light that shines within you as a Trainer!"

"That must be what's been drawing me to you—what's made me so curious!"

"Now it's up to me to investigate just how far that shining light you possess stretches. I'll do my very best!"

"I'll do it for the novel I'll inevitably write one day! Until then, I'll be here to witness your story."

• Random conversation

"I've come to realize that being strong isn't just about winning battles."

"It's about kindness—lending a helping hand to someone in need. Or having the courage to stand up for other people."

"It's all of those things together that make someone truly strong. Tagging along with you has helped me realize that!"

• If spoken to again

""The Trainer discovered a whole new world the day they met their first Pokémon... And so their story together began.""

"Someday... Someday I'll write a brilliant novel with you and your Pokémon as the main characters."

"Once it's finished, I want you to be the first one to read it."

"I'll write all about the kindness and courage you've taught me. Promise me you'll read it?"

• Special log-in conversation (generic)

""And so she stared off into the sunset, patiently waiting for the day <player> would return once more.""

"Oh, <player>! Would you mind being my subject today? I've got some new novel ideas that need brainstorming!"

"Here, you can have it!"

• After giving out item

""The item, unbeknownst to anyone, would soon be the catalyst that set off a remarkable chain of events...""

"Tee-hee! Or so I'd like to think! Though I'm sure it's highly unlikely."

• Special Rock-Type training event blurb
