Flannery/Quotes

These are Flannery's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald

Lavaridge Gym

•  Before battle

"Welcome... No, wait. Puny Trainer, how good to see you've made it here! I have been entrusted with the... No, wait. I am Flannery, and I'm the Gym Leader here! Uh... Dare not underestimate me, though I have been Leader only a short time! With skills inherited from my grandfather, I shall, uh...demonstrate the hot moves we have honed on this land!"

•  Being defeated

"Oh... I guess I was trying too hard... I... I've only recently become a Gym Leader. I tried too hard to be someone I'm not. I have to do things my natural way. If I don't, my Pokémon will be confused. Thanks for teaching me that. For that, you deserve this."

• After being defeated

"If you have a Heat Badge, all Pokémon up to Level 50, even those you get in trades from other people, will obey you completely. And, it lets Pokémon use the HM move Strength outside of battle. This is a token of my appreciation. Don't be shy about taking it!"

"That TM50 contains Overheat. That move inflicts serious damage on the opponent. But it also sharply cuts the Sp. Atk of the Pokémon using it. It might not be suitable for longer battles."

"Your power reminds me of someone... Oh! I know! You battle like Norman, the Gym Leader of Petalburg."

Match Call^E

• After registering her

"<Player>... When we battled, I learned exactly how immature I was. But I'm not done yet! I'm going to redo my training and reopen the Gym. When the time comes, <player>, please challenge us again."

• After defeating Champion, before rematch is available

"Hello, <player>? Congratulations! Word of your success has reached us like the heat of a volcano! Out training is coming along very well here. When the Gym's ready, a mark will appear beside my name in the Match Call list."

• When rematch is available

"Oh, <player>? Our Gym's ready! Come to Lavaridge for a soak in the hot springs and a challenge!"

• After a rematch

"<Player>... I'm positive that you keep getting better at training every time."

Rematch^E

• Before battle

"Losing a battle isn't going to deflate me. I love Pokémon. I love to battle. And... I love this Gym! Let's exchange superhot moves in another battle!"

• Being defeated

"Whew! On the verge of eruption!"

• After being defeated

"I lost the match, but I'm completely satisfied. It's not often I get to enjoy a battle this heated. Let's have another one like this sometime!"

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

Pokémon World Tournament

• Before battle (first round)

"I'm going to demonstrate the hot moves I honed close to a volcano!"

• Before battle (second round)

"With skills inherited from my grandfather, who was once one of the Elite Four, I'm going to demonstrate the hot moves I honed close to a volcano!"

• Before battle (final round)

"The way to get the most out of the strength you and your Pokémon have acquired is to not push too hard and just be yourself! So, I'll show you how to do that right now, OK?"

• Being defeated

"Oh... I guess I was trying too hard..."

• If the player is defeated

"I... I won! I guess my well-honed moves worked!"

• After being defeated

"Your strength sure reminds me of someone... You must have battled with many different people and learned good things from them every time, huh?"

• After winning

"My Pokémon were able to make the most of their power when I did things my way!"

• In the lobby, after the tournament

"Your strength is the way you're able to express yourself. Everybody was very excited by your victory!"

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version

Mossdeep City

"I'm, uh, honored to serve as the Gym Leader of La... No, I mean... I'm Flannery, and I'm the one in charge of the Lavaridge Gym!"

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Lavaridge Gym

• Before battle

"Welcome!"

"No, wait. I mean… Puny Trainer, you've done well to make it this far! Let's see. I'm, uh, honored to be serving as the Gym Leader of…"

"No, I mean… I'm Flannery, and I'm in charge here!"

"Uh… You'd better not underestimate me just 'cause I've only been Leader a short time! With the skills inherited from my grandfather, I'm gonna, uh, demonstrate the hot moves we've honed in this land!"

"Haiyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

• Being defeated

"Oh… I guess I was trying too hard…"

• After being defeated

"I…I've only recently become a Gym Leader. I guess I was trying too hard to be someone I'm not. When I don't act like myself, no wonder Pokémon that battle at my side get confused."

"Thank you for teaching me that. You deserve this."

"If you have a Heat Badge, all Pokémon up to Level 50, even those you get in trades from other people, will obey you completely. And it lets Pokémon use the HM move Strength outside of battle. This is a token of my appreciation. Don't be shy about taking it!"

"Overheat is a Fire-type move that inflicts serious damage on the target. But it also sharply cuts the Sp. Atk of the Pokémon using it. It might not be suitable for longer battles."

• If talked to again after the battle

"Your power reminds me of someone… Oh! I know! You battle like Norman, the Gym Leader of Petalburg."

• After becoming Champion

"You finally became the Champion. I heard it from Winona in Fortree. The news of your success lit my fire and made me realize again that I have to grow more as a Pokémon Trainer. Thank you for stimulating my spirit!"

Scorched Slab

"Haiyaaaaaaaaa!"

"Ugh… It might be impossible."

"Waaaaah!! D-d-don't scare me like that! You scared the living daylights out of me! Hah… Anyway… By any chance did you come here to look for the rare Pokémon, too?"

Yes: "You, too… Oh, I see. As you may have heard, this cave has long been rumored to be the place where a rare Fire-type Pokémon lives. That's why I came here. But I guess I was a bit ill prepared… I was just thinking about going back to Lavaridge and coming back later. So I'm leaving now, but if you go farther, please be careful!"

No: "Oh, you don't know the rumor? OK. I'll tell you, then. According to my grandfather, this cave long has been rumored to be the place where a rare Fire-type Pokémon lives. The Pokémon has a magma-like body and sharp claws… But it's too dark to move forward from here without Flash. It's a bit scary. You know, in a pitch-black place like this, if something falls from the ceiling, you can't tell what it is… Eww. I'm thinking about going back to Lavaridge and coming back better prepared. So I'm leaving now, but if you go farther, please be careful!"

Pokémon Center

• Random conversation

"My grandfather was one of the Elite Four, and I always looked up to him."

"But you know, just because you look up to somebody doesn't mean you have to be just like them. I can never be my grandfather."

"So now I'm aiming to be the best version of myself I can possibly be!"

"Just watch me! With you by my side, I feel like there's no limit to how strong and how fired up I can get!"

• If spoken to again

"I think I was able to become such good friends with you because I felt comfortable just being myself."

"I hope that when I become the best version of myself, you'll have reached that same point, too!"

• Random conversation

"Try not to push yourself too hard."

"I was trying too hard to be a good Gym Leader and ended up falling into a slump."

"That's when I realized that if I just relax and do things my way, it's more fun and I can hone my skills more easily."

"I have my fellow Trainers to thank for helping me to realize that."

• If spoken to again

"It can be tough to do things your own way, but it's not impossible."

"There's still so much I don't know..."

"but I'm here for you, through good times and bad! That's what friends are for!"

• Random conversation

"Some Fire-type Pokémon are so hot, it's tough to pet them."

"Slugma's body and Torkoal's shell get amazingly hot!"

"Be careful not to burn yourself!"

• If spoken to again

"Pokémon like it when you show them affection."

"Even if they're hot, when you give them just a little pat, they'll know how much you care."

• Random conversation

"Sometimes you just can't get fired up."

"And that's when you've just gotta do it!"

"Times like those are when it's most important to just go for it!"

"Weak flames will get blown out easily. You gotta go big when you light your fire!"

• If spoken to again

"When you don't feel like you can keep going..."

"come see me! I'll light your fire back up again!"

• Special log-in conversation (generic)

"Hey, <player>! Are you burning to battle again today?"

"You know I'm all warmed up--touch me and you might get burned! Well, let's head out!"

• Special gift conversation

"Thanks for everything! This is all yours!"

"I might forget I have it on me and carry it right into the hot springs anyway. Then it'd be no good to anybody!"

"You get all embarrassed when you get a present, don't you."

"But I'm going to bring you another one when I find something good!"
