Quotes

Before battle:
"Yo trainer! You had me counting the days on my fingers waiting for you to come. I heard from Volkner what you did in Sunyshore. You managed to light a fire in that guy's heart again. How could you not expect me to look forward to seeing you in battle?

During battle:
"I can feel your determination. Your will is overpowering me!

"This situation... This is heating up! I'm blazing now!

When defeated:
"...! I wasn't expecting this! I wasn't looking down on you... But I didn't think for one second that I'd lose! This is fantastic! You and your Pokémon are inspiring!"

After battle:
"...Whew... Burnt right down to cinders..."

Last words:
".....................Keep going..."
