Diantha/Quotes

These are Diantha's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon X and Y

Café Soleil (first visit)

"What a strange question... Why would I want to play the same old roles forever? Youth may be beautiful, but it's not all there is to life. Everything changes. I want to live and change like that, too. So I look forward to playing different roles as I get older."

"And who are you two?"

"<player>, right? I heard Lysandre call you that. You both have lovely names. Oh, and you're both Trainers! Don't your Pokémon look happy? I'm a Trainer myself, in my off time. I look forward to us battling someday!"

Coumarine City

"A strong bond?"

"Does this make you think of something like Kalos's Legendary Pokémon? Found only here in the Kalos region, right? Nowhere else? Maybe that's not a coincidence."

"Bonds... They really are important to us all, aren't they? When I'm acting, I think I'm always trying to forge a bond between myself and the character I'm playing. If all I think about is how I'm nothing like a character, then I'll just hate playing it. But if I focus on what I have in common with the character and put myself in her shoes, I might be able to understand her. It's the same for people--or Pokémon."

"Oh, never mind me! I'm just babbling about my own things. Let's have a battle the next we meet, shall we? I'm still looking forward to it!"

Pokémon League

• Before battle (first time)

"Welcome at last, dear Trainer. As you must know, I am the Champion, Diantha. Oh, but you are... You're the child I spoke to in Lumiose City and Coumarine City, aren't you?! Then that means that you are also the one that dear Augustine said... Of course! How could I--?! Oh, I must look like such a fool not to recognize you sooner! You and your Pokémon are the ones who stopped Team Flare for us all! It seems wrong of me to say this, but thank you! You saved us all... I can't wait to see what you and your Pokémon are capable now that I know exactly what it is you've done already!"

• Before battle (rematch)

"Oh, welcome back! I've been hoping that you would visit again! Battling against you and your Pokémon, all of you brimming with hope for the future... Honestly, it just fills me up with energy I need to keep facing each new day! It does!"

• Being defeated

"Witnessing the noble spirits of you and your Pokémon in battle has really touched my heart..."

• After being defeated (first time)

"I-I'm so choked up that it's hard to know what I should say, but I...I... I'm just so glad at this moment that I was good enough to be the Champion... After all, it gave me the chance to meet and battle with you and your wonderful Pokémon! Now I understand just why dear Augustine--that's Professor Sycamore to you--said he had to get everything ready for the new Champion! He'll be waiting for us in Lumiose City, but before I take you there... My dear <player>, would you mind coming this way with me?"

• After being defeated (rematch)

"That positive hope for the future and the warm feelings that fill your heart... Those things can never be exhausted. They will never run out. Not ever. If you just find a way to share them with others, I know you'll have a happy life. Come along, my dear <player>... You know where we're going next."

• Hall of Fame (first time)

"Here we are! I'm so glad to welcome you in. This grand chamber is where you enter the Kalos region's Hall of Fame. This is where Pokémon Trainers will live on forever, remembered always for giving their all in battle to the Pokémon League and for the glory and light that they shared with all. Come, <player>… Your love for your Pokémon… And the way that those Pokémon gave everything they had in battle for you… We'll record them all right here for eternity."

• Hall of Fame (rematch)

"We will record your experience and the glory that you've shown in facing the Pokémon League here in this grand hall! This will be your--and your Pokémon's--legacy! Come, <player>… Your love for your Pokémon… And the way that those Pokémon gave everything they had in battle for you… We'll record them all right here for eternity."

Café Soleil (post-game)

• Before the trade

"Oh, why hello there! That's right... This is where I first met you, isn't it? <player>? You know, I'd really like to learn more about how a strong Trainer like you raises his/her Pokémon. This probably feels a bit sudden, but how would you feel about trading one your Pokémon for my Ralts here?"

No: "No, of course I understand... I'm sure all of your Pokémon are like precious friends to you, right? You can't just give away a friend to someone else that easily!"

Yes: (after selecting the Pokémon to trade) "Heheh. We Trainers all feel a bit nervous when trading Pokémon... but I'm sure it's nothing compared to how the Pokémon must feel!"

• After the trade

"Hello, <Pokémon>. I'm glad to meet you. Was it a bit shocking to be traded? I hope you'll come to trust and like me. I promise that I'll take good care of you."

Battle Chateau

• Before battle

"Oh my! I never thought I would meet you here! Honestly, I didn't! Oh, but--silly me--I should at least do these things right… As Champion and as Grand Duchess of the Battle Chateau, I, Diantha, challenge you."

• Being defeated

"Witnessing the noble spirits of you and your Pokémon in battle has really touched my heart..."

• After being defeated

(if giving the player an item) "Hehe, here you go! I hope you like it!"

"I just...I just don't know what to say... I can hardly express this feeling... But I'm so glad I got to be Champion and Grand Duchess... Battling you and your Pokémon makes everything seem worth it!"

• After defeating the player

"Oh, fantastic! What did you think? My team was pretty cool, right? It's a bit embarrassing to show off, but I love to show their best sides!"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Diantha

"What a lovely looking café! I think I'll try this one today!"

Hey there!: "Oh my!"

"That voice! Could it be...?"

Diantha?: "Oh, I think I know that voice!"

"I knew it! So it was you, <player>! Looks like you noticed me right away!"

"If you have some time, would you like to join me for a cup of tea?"

"Oh dear! I've been discovered!"

"At this rate, we might cause some trouble for the owners of this café."

"*chuckle* In that case...catch me if you can!"

"Let's head out, <player>!"

"Whew... Is that everyone?"

That must've been rough!: "Not at all!"

Aren't you tired now?: "I suppose. But it's a good kind of tired."

"Thanks for your concern, Gardevoir. But really, I'm OK."

"Being able to meet my fans in person is a wonderful thing."

"You know, Gardevoir is always by my side, watching out for me."

"I enjoy meeting my fans, so it's not a burden for me at all!"

"But I suppose Gardevoir can't help but worry."

She wants you to rely on her!: "To rely on her..."

"I think you might be right. Maybe I was trying too hard all by myself."

What a kind partner you have!: "Isn't she? She's my pride and joy!"

"But I suppose I have much to learn if I'm still making my precious partner worry about me."

"I truly love my fans, so I figured I would do anything to make them happy."

"But I guess sometimes it's hard to tell what your limits are just by yourself."

"Sorry for worrying you, Gardevoir. Let's get a good night's sleep tonight!"

"I'm happy to have so many fans that support my work as an actress."

"And I'm blessed with a partner Pokémon that cares about me so much."

"Thank you, <player>! You helped me remember something important."

"My heart is overflowing with energy from all of these kind and wonderful feelings!"

"Once I rest up again, I'll be sure to turn that energy into something I can share with everyone!"

"And for the people I can't meet in person, I'll do my best to send those feelings through the movie screen!"

"That's where I shine the brightest, after all!"

Pokémon Center

• Upon being summoned in sync pair scout

You know, I'd really love to learn more about how a strong Trainer like you raises their Pokémon.

• Random conversation

"Since I'm an actress, sometimes people will talk to me because they're fans of mine!"

"Often, they'll say that watching me act gave them courage or cheered them up!"

"But I also get a lot of energy from my fans when I meet them!"

• Random conversation

"People change every day, and no moment is exactly the same as another."

"Even if I play the same character, I always act a little different from how I did the day before!"

"I hope people enjoy seeing that transformation! It surely makes it more engaging!"

• Random conversation

"As I continue my work as an actress, one thing that I find important is challenging myself to try new things."

"I plan to continue challenging myself to play the kinds of characters I've never acted before!"

"Every time I act as a different character, I feel I encounter a new me!"

"My job as an actress is to constantly search for my own untapped potential."

• Random conversation

"I once traded my Pokémon to a Trainer who challenged me for my Champion title."

"Of course, it was a little bittersweet, but I said good-bye to my Pokémon and wished it the best."

"At the same time, its new family welcomed it with open arms, which was so heartwarming."

"The Pokémon I traded is back in Kalos, but it's still so very special to me!"

• Random conversation

"Even if you're facing something difficult, you're always able to have a positive outlook!"

"I think that's one of the things about you that truly makes you shine, <player>!"

"I'm sure the people around you have noticed that positive attitude of yours."

"I also feel happy when I'm next to you!"

• Random conversation

"I have an identity as an actress—and also as a Champion."

"For both of these identities, I'm vigilant of the fact that I'm seen by many people."

"I do this so I can live up to the expectations of the people cheering me on!"

"I try to portray myself as noble, passionate, and shining bright...and of course, I try to show that I truly enjoy both acting and battling."

"They're what I view as my life's work."

• If spoken to again

"Being in the spotlight and having things expected of me may sometimes feel like a burden."

"But I always try to turn those expectations into energy to make my heart and soul shine brightly!"

• Random conversation

"I always strive to stay positive, but sometimes I do experience disappointment."

"I do two things to make myself feel better:"

"First, I remember the faces of all my fans."

"Second, I interact with my Pokémon!"

"That usually helps me regain my positivity, as it reminds me that I'm not alone."

• If spoken to again

"When you're feeling down, try to think of who is around you."

"If you do that, there will always be people willing to give your their support and cheer you on!"

• Random conversation (Special Costume)

"I once played the part of a knight back in Kalos and used several different Pokémon as a reference for the role."

"For example, Gallade, Aegislash, and Escavalier, just to name a few."

"It was a great experience for me, and it even helped increase my Pokémon knowledge."

• Random conversation (Special Costume)

"Did you know? Legend has it that Keldeo has three Pokémon mentors that trained it."

"I sure would love to see how Pokémon teach each other to battle."

• Random conversation (Special Costume)

"This outfit looks heavy, you say?"

"Hehehe. I may not look it, but I'm actually quite strong, you know!"

"Looks alone aren't enough to make me a good actress. I have to be physically fit as well!"

• Random conversation (Special Costume)

"Keldeo loves beautiful areas near water."

"Here on Pasio, it really likes playing near the fountain in town. It's a beautiful area with a great atmosphere, after all."

• Random conversation (Special Costume)

"Do you have anything that you want to protect, <player>?"

"Those with something to protect must train hard to prepare themselves for when that time comes."

"And not just physical strength but mental strength as well. It's hard to fight without a solid mind to back up your body."

• Random conversation (Special Costume)

"When Keldeo and Gardevoir first met, they both froze in place as if cautiously observing each other."

"It seems like they've learned to relax a bit now that they've been together for a while, but..."

"They were both studying each other so intently at the time. I wonder what they were thinking."

• If spoken to again

"They're both a bit finicky at times, but these days I even catch them taking naps together sometimes."

"I can't help but smile when I see them so relaxed together."

• Random conversation (Special Costume)

"My Keldeo has a noble heart and is very strict with itself."

"Keldeo is currently serving as my inspiration when I rehearse and battle. It's a great way for me to get fired up!"

• If spoken to again

"I often hear that Pokémon tend to take on a bit of their Trainer's personality..."

"but I suppose the opposite is possible, too, right?"

• Special log-in conversation (generic)

"Oh my! How nice to see you, <player>!"

"All the players are here! The stage is set to enjoy yet another day on Pasio!"

• Special log-in conversation (generic) (Special Costume)

"At your service, my liege."

"Hehe! I'm just practicing for a role! Let's have a great day again today, shall we?"

• Special log-in conversation (morning)

"Every day is special and unique in some way. We have to enjoy each and every one of them to the fullest!"

• Special log-in conversation (afternoon)

"Our day-to-day experiences here on Pasio, big and small, will all be part of a greater story one day."

• Special log-in conversation (evening)

"You and your Pokémon shine so brightly together... I wouldn't be surprised if you glow in the dark!"

• Special log-in conversation (morning) (Special Costume)

"And so the young Trainers set off on their journey with the sunrise behind them...and a grand adventure ahead! *giggle*"

• Special log-in conversation (afternoon) (Special Costume)

"With all of the training and acting I do, I have to be careful not to overbook my schedule. Getting in a good lunch break is key!"

• Special log-in conversation (evening) (Special Costume)

"The wind can get pretty chilly at night. If you're going out, make sure you dress warmly! Wouldn't want you to catch a cold!"

• Special gift conversation

"Allow me to present you with this gift!"

"I hope it helps you shine even brighter!"

• After giving out item

"Any item can be good or bad depending on how you use it."

"I'm sure you'll find a way to put it to good use!"

• Special gift conversation (Special Costume)

"I bequeath this gift unto you."

"May it protect you in my stead—even when I am far away."

• After giving out item

"Thank you for helping me practice my acting earlier!"

"As a thank-you, you can keep the item I gave you during practice as a gift. I hope you can put it to good use!"
