Siebold/Quotes

These are Siebold's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon X and Y

Pokémon League

• Before battle

"... ... ... No, I simply can't say."

"You there! Young man/lady! I have a question I must pose to you. Do you think Pokémon battling can ever be worthy of being called an art?"

Yes: "... ... ... Indeed. You see, cooking is the type of art that disappears as soon as it is completed. Pokémon battles are the same. Even memories of sweet victory soon fade after the battle ends. To devote yourself entirely to such a life, made up of fleeting experiences--that is truly artful."

No: "Fool! You silly, unseeing child! If all you seek in life is to fill your stomach with some tasteless matter, then why are there Chefs in this world?! We labor tirelessly to make something wonderful that will disappear from sight as soon as it is enjoyed. That is the life of a Chef! That is the life of a Trainer!"

• Upon being defeated

"I shall store my memory of you and your Pokémon forever away within my heart."

• After being defeated

"Devote yourself entirely, so even that which will fade and disappear is ingrained forever upon your heart and mind! That is the only fate for any human."

If battled first: "There are no weak Pokémon in a Pokémon battle. There are only weak Trainers. Find the good in every one of your Pokémon. Draw out the unique strengths they possess. Now step back into that elevator and return to the room from which you came."

If battled second: "It is the duty of both Trainers and Chefs to find the good in any raw materials they have to work with. There lies the answer to reaching ever higher. Battle the last two of us and find it for yourself."

If battled third: "There is only one course remaining in your Pokémon League banquet. Devour it with the hunger for strength. Savor it without leaving a scrap behind."

If battled last: "You have drawn forth the strength of Pokémon with your own particular style and method. And now you can challenge the Champion."

Battle Chateau

• Before battle

"... ... ... Yes, I see it now. This is a path with no end. To seek to be the absolute best is an absurd goal. Yet, as long as I am alive, I shall strive onward to seek the ultimate cuisine... and the strongest opponents in battle!"

• Upon being defeated

"I shall store my memory of you and your Pokémon forever away within my heart."

• After being defeated

If giving the player an item: "Take this gift with you on your way. And strive always to find the meaning in everything that happens to you."

"No! This result will not satisfy my hunger--my aching thirst for victory! However, when I look at it from a different perspective, I must admit that your way of living is fantastic..."

• If the player is defeated

"Our Pokémon battle was like food for my soul. It shall keep me going. That is how I will pay my respects to you for giving your all in battle!"

Story Event - Rosa's Party

• A Chef's Philosophy

"Ahh, new customers. Welcome, welcome!"

"Ah, I see. I didn't realize you were a candidate. Well then, I have one question for you..."

"I've asked this question to everyone who has applied for the position so far, and that is... why do you wish to work with me?"

"Is that so?"

"What delightful ambition! I can tell you have a knack for service and hospitality."

"Well, she's passed the interview portion of the application, but now I'd like to see what she's capable of in action."

"No, no. I'd like to see your Pokémon battling skills in action!"

"Everything! The two may seem different on the surface, but deep down both are forms of art that share the same philosophy."

"The end results only last for a few brief, passing moments, so we devote ourselves to making those moments last in our memories forever."

"Precisely. Now, the final question is... will you indulge my curiosity?"

"I'd expect nothing less! Now, prove it to me in action!"

• The Other Chef

"What a delectable battle. Well done! Your love and passion shined through each and every move."

"You're hired! I'd be delighted to have you on as an assistant chef, Rosa."

"The pleasure is all mine. Now, shall we go ahead and start prepping for—"

"Hm? And you are...?"

"Ah, another candidate! My deepest apologies, but the position has already been filled."

"Thank you for coming out, but I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."

"Hmm..."

"I sense you have a very frank, forthright passion for your craft... It would be wrong of me to simply turn you away."

"I accept. What sort of battle do you propose?"

"All right. If you want to prove yourself that badly, then Rosa and I have no choice but to accept your challenge with utmost hospitality."

"In fact, I had a few uniforms imported to Pasio in case a situation like this were to arise! Rosa, could you fetch them for me, please?"

"Let's put them on and give Mallow here the full-service Pokémon battle she deserves!"

• The Joy of Cooking
• Wearing his holiday outfit

"Huh. It must be a stowaway from the parcel our uniforms were sent in. I'm not sure how it got here...but it may be just what we need."

"Hospitality is the most important quality of any good chef, and if there's any Pokémon that knows the true meaning of hospitality, it's Delibird."

"If you spend some quality time with Delibird, its kind, charitable nature may rub off on you. It can help you grow as a chef!"

"Octillery has opened my eyes to a whole new realm of culinary possibility since we first met... Perhaps it will be the same for you."

"Yes. It's certainly an acquired taste... I taste intense creativity—a flavor that immediately gets my brain buzzing."

"*gasp* Goodness gracious! I just thought of a new recipe! I need to begin prepping right away."

"No, wait! I lack the ingredients to fully execute it right now. First, I'll have to gather everything I need."

"Would you mind staying back to help Mallow, <player>? We'll be right back!"

Prestige Event - Battle Buffet Bash

• Legendary Flavor!
• Wearing his holiday outfit

"...And voilà! This perfection is ready to be served. Come and get it while it's hot, fine guests!"

Story Event - Trials on the Isle

• A Buzzworthy Dish

"We're making some curry."

"And it's not going so well, so we don't have much time to play."

"The curry still isn't complete, so we can't guarantee it'll taste any good."

"Sweetness?! That's it!"

Costume Event - Poké War Games

• Team Huddle

"Hmm... Traveling as a large group might be safer if we run into anyone who'll try to attack us..."

"But that also means we'd lose range and mobility, so it might not be the best option for this event."

• Clash of Factions

"Just like in cooking, you can't let your guard down until the final touches are in place."

"Oh no! Their leader is here, too?!"

Special Battle Event - Challenge Serena and Calem

• Welcome, Challenger!

"Devote yourself entirely, so even that which will fade and disappear is ingrained forever upon your heart and mind!"

"That is the only fate for any human."

"You have drawn forth the strength of Pokémon with your own particular style and method. And now you can challenge the champion."

Story Event - Shine a Gentle Light

• Operation: Light Up!
• Wearing his holiday outfit

"No problem. That will be a piece of cake."

"Ingredients?"

"I don't mind giving you ingredients, but I can't assure you I'll have what you need..."

"I see."

"By the way, your outfit stands out quite a bit. Are you going to wear that to the party?"

"It's true that you attract attention..."

"But I can't determine whether that's because you look fascinating or because you look strange..."

Story Event - Chef's Heartful Delivery

• Ready to Bake!
• In flashback

"I was interested in the "ultimate taste" the owner aspires to achieve."

"I became the chef at this shop to challenge my own limits and to complete this piece of art."

• Back to present

"I didn't expect to have to compete with you like this."

"As a chef, I won't go easy on you!"

• A Chef's Path

"... ... ..."

"What foolishness!"

"We labor tirelessly to make something wonderful that will disappear from sight as soon as it is enjoyed. That is the life of a chef!"

"We were too distracted by the quality of the cooking and didn't consider the hearts of the people who would taste it!"

"Why can you not accept that as the reason we were one step behind?"

"May I try that apple pie, Mallow?"

"I see..."

"This is certainly a piece of art that I cannot replicate."

"Thank you for reminding me that the road of cooking has no end, Mallow."

"Agreed."

"Let's both keep aiming for the top, as chefs."

Story Event - Galar's Poké Ball Enthusiast

• Official Mascot Aspirations

"Very nice."

"When creating a dish that's a piece of art, good flavor is obviously key. But appearance is important as well."

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Siebold

"Thanks to you, I was able to gather all of the ingredients I need in record time."

"Soon, with the expert touch of my chef's knife, these fresh, crisp vegetables will be reborn!"

"Whether the ingredients shine beautifully in the dish or end up ruining it depends on the skill of the chef."

"We chefs must carefully consider our ingredients and take full responsibility for the outcome of each dish we create."

"Ingredients and chefs, Pokémon and Trainers..."

"The relationships between them are quite similar in a lot of ways."

"I think that's why both of them appeal to me so much."

"I hate to change the subject so abruptly, but I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"Do you believe that Pokémon have limitless potential?"

I do.: "Interesting..."

"Many Pokémon live their lives very close to our own, while others do not show themselves in front of people at all."

"Most of them are shrouded in mystery. Therefore, we can't possibly know how limitless their potential truly is."

"To draw out the hidden potential in our Pokémon—to create a future full of possibility—is the greatest mission of all for us Trainers."

I don't think so.: "What foolishness!"

"How can you place a limit on your Pokémon's potential and still call yourself a Pokémon Trainer?!"

"A Trainer and their Pokémon play vital roles in each other's future."

"They go through their lives together. They hurt together and they help together. They must continue to survive together."

"If Trainers can't believe in their Pokémon or would try to limit their Pokémon's potential, maybe the world is better off without them!"

"Oh dear, I must apologize... I got a bit too carried away."

"Personally, I do believe that Pokémon have limitless potential hidden deep within them."

"The PML is like a great, brilliant stage where we can witness that potential with our own two eyes."

"Nothing makes me happier than watching a Pokémon battle..."

"and witnessing firsthand the incredible potential that Trainers are able to draw out of their Pokémon."

Then let's do our absolute best!: "Always! Of course!"

"Trainers can help draw out the potential in their fellow Trainers as well, you know!"

I'm a little lost...: "Pardon me? Have you been listening to what I've been saying at all?!"

"You, young sir/miss, are ill qualified to be a Trainer! What do you expect to achieve at the PML if you can't even comprehend that?"

"Oh dear, I do apologize... I get so caught up in my own enthusiasm."

"Just as I do with the recipes I create, I have endeavored to draw out my Clawitzer's maximum potential..."

"and with me doing so, Clawitzer has also helped me draw out my own potential as a Trainer."

"And just as certain ingredients and spices serve to heighten the flavor of others in a recipe..."

"so, too, do Pokémon and their Trainers. We are better together. I've witnessed it in others and experienced it firsthand."

Incredible, huh!/That's intense!: "Yes, indeed! But what it all boils down to in the end is...I want nothing more than to truly connect with my Pokémon. That's it."

"Well now! All of this talking has made me work up quite an appetite."

"We've already purchased all of the necessary ingredients. I think it's time we turned them into something shockingly delicious!"

"Feast your eyes as Chef Siebold draws out the limitless potential of the ingredients he's chosen for this dish..."

"Let the battle begin!"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Siebold (Holiday 2019)

"Hello, <player>. I didn't expect to run into you here."

"Octillery and I came to the beach in search of inspiration for the new ink-based dish we're developing."

"Did you know that Octillery ink can be used as a cooking ingredient?"

I've heard that before!: "Excellent! Knowledge is the key ingredient to making the world a better place, you know."

"And a chef needs both great knowledge and great experience to bring out the ultimate flavor of his ingredients!"

I didn't know that...: "No need to be embarrassed."

"In fact, you should be thankful that you learned something new today! Knowledge is the key ingredient to making the world a better place!"

"..."

"Apologies... Sometimes I get a bit carried away when I talk about my passions."

"Discovering that I could use Octillery ink in my cooking unlocked a whole new realm of culinary possibility for me to pursue."

"I have a passion for bringing out the best in things—both as a chef and as a Pokémon Trainer."

"And right now, my greatest passion is perfecting this new Octillery-ink-based recipe—no matter what it takes!"

You and Octillery seem really close.: "Indeed, we are! Octillery has helped me discover a great many things since we first met..."

"I'm proud to call such a dependable Pokémon my partner."

You're really excited about this, huh?: "Indeed! And Octillery is bubbling with enthusiasm with me! He wants to perfect this dish almost as much as I do."

"I can count on him for anything."

"It was fate that brought us together in the first place."

"One day, I went to the beach to search for some fun, new ingredients with my Clawitzer."

"We were about to stop and take a break when all of a sudden, a wild Octillery lurched out at us from among the rocks."

"While we were battling, a bit of ink from its Octazooka attack splashed me in the face."

"I accidentally tasted some of it in the process, and my goodness... It was like an explosion of flavor!"

"I'd heard of ink being used as a cooking ingredient before, but this was the first time I had tasted it myself."

"In that instant, I felt like my eyes were opened to a whole new world of food! It was truly astounding!"

Sounds like fate to me!: "Indeed. I believe Octillery and I are destined to deliver an entirely new cuisine to the world."

You're making me hungry.: "Well, we can't have that, can we? You can't win Pokémon battles on an empty stomach."

"Hmm..."

"You know what, <player>?"

"I think you and I were meant to have this conversation about Octillery today."

"How would you like to be one of the first to taste-test the new ink-based dish we've been developing?"

"For a treasured guest like you, I'll put my heart into every last bite. I hope you enjoy it!"

Sync Pair Story - Amaura's Evolution

• Before battle

"As a Pokémon Trainer, I've always wondered what a serious battle with you would be like, Grant."

"As a chef, I have a duty to make sure all who come to me leave satisfied. I shall face you with everything I have!"

"And if you win, I will treat you to one of my special-made desserts!"

• After being defeated

"That was a fantastic battle! Very well. I promised you a dessert, didn't I? Please, come with me."

"No, I don't think that's the case. I think he's about to evolve! Talk about the spice of life!"

Pokémon Center

• During sync background preview (Holiday 2019)

"Ah, hello! I will be serving you today! Oh, is that not why you called me?"

• Random conversation

"There's one ingredient that is guaranteed to make any recipe tastier. Do you know what it is?"

"It's happiness."

"Enjoying a meal with a smile on your face makes everything taste that much more delicious, don't you think?"

"Watching others enjoy a meal you prepared is the greatest happiness of all for a chef like myself."

"You should always endeavor to do your very best in order to bring happiness to yourself and the people around you."

• If spoken to again

"At times, I tend to stress myself out over a lot of things... But you know, not every problem has a definite answer."

"That's why it feels so good when you find your own way to solve things. It's a different sort of happiness."

"Both cooking and Pokémon training have so many deep layers. We could continue to learn about them forever—and we should!"

• Random conversation

"I've heard some people call me a legendary chef."

"But truthfully, I don't think that moniker is entirely accurate."

"There is still so much more that I can learn and endeavor to achieve."

"I strive to elevate my cooking and my Pokémon battles to a level of true art! They must be masterpieces!"

• If spoken to again

"When I'm defeated in a Pokémon battle, I feel that my own weakness is to blame."

"I need to draw out the absolute best in my Pokémon, or I'll never achieve my goals."

• Random conversation

"I met my Clawitzer when he was still a Clauncher, and he's been my most dependable front-liner ever since."

"It was a bit shocking how we first met, actually. I still remember it clearly to this day..."

"You see, Clauncher somehow got mixed in with some ingredients I had procured for a recipe of mine."

"After I'd gotten over my initial shock, I thought to myself, this Pokémon would really shine in a battle!"

"Finding Clauncher among my ingredients that day and making that immediate judgment set things in motion for the long term."

• If spoken to again

"And you know, if you really think about it, it wasn't I who found Clawitzer..."

"It was Clawitzer who found me."

• Random conversation

"Once, I decided to leave Kalos and go on a journey to discover the ultimate recipe."

"I was fishing one day and caught a Magikarp, but it was no ordinary Magikarp. I felt immense potential within it."

"Eventually I learned that my instincts were correct. It more than lived up to my expectations."

"When it evolved into Gyarados, the pair of us conquered many a rough wave together."

• If spoken to again

"Potential is something that lies hidden within."

"Drawing out that hidden flicker of light is the job of every Trainer—as well as the job of a world-class chef."

• Random conversation

"I'm so glad that we had the opportunity to meet, <player>."

"You are a Trainer that possesses the ability to draw out the most amazing potential in your Pokémon."

"I firmly believe that you have a bright future ahead of you. There's so much you will accomplish."

• If spoken to again

"Your strength as a Trainer is directly related to your ability to bring out the best in your Pokémon."

"Remember that, and I'm positive you'll continue to grow even stronger."

• Random conversation

"The art of cooking and Pokémon battling are both beautiful in their impermanence."

"The end result may only last for a short while, but it takes a great amount of time and devotion to get up to that point."

"That brief moment feels special because of all that time spent earnestly debating, researching, learning, and practicing."

"One could call it a compilation of their life. That's why we must always do the very best we can."

• If spoken to again

"Our Pokémon are always inching closer and closer into our hearts."

"I'm constantly tackling my own worries and stress for that reason."

"When I do, we all end up feeling a little bit happier."

"To be truly happy, we must continually devote ourselves."

• Random conversation

"You know, when it comes to Pokémon battling, you help me out in a myriad of ways."

"I'd like to treat you to a delicious meal. One that I've poured my heart and soul into."

"This conundrum I've been going back and forth over—whether or not Pokémon battles are worthy of being called art..."

"I'd like you to taste my food—my art—and tell me what you think the answer to that question is."

• If spoken to again

"In essence, the art of cooking and Pokémon battling are one and the same."

"The quality of the ingredients, the skill of one's Pokémon... Drawing out the best of each will take you to greater heights."

"I know that you have great effort and true skill. That's why I feel I can ask you this question."

• Random conversation (Holiday 2019)

"When I'm shorthanded at the restaurant, I sometimes serve food to the guests myself."

"It makes my busy days even busier, but I don't mind the extra work at all."

"Simply having the chance to see my guests' eyes light up with joy as I place their meals before them is reward enough."

"Nothing makes a chef happier than to see his guests smile."

• If spoken to again

"Sometimes my guests call me to their table to share their thoughts on the meal."

"They smile and tell me how they loved my choice of spices in the main course or enjoyed the nice textures in the dessert."

"I love hearing that feedback. It makes me want to delight and surprise my guests with even more delicious dishes in the future."

• Random conversation (Holiday 2019)

"What do you think makes a meal truly excellent? It's more than just how delicious the food is—I can tell you that."

"The aesthetics of the garnishing and plating, the timing of each course, and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant are all deeply important."

"I believe there's value in taking the time to step out to the front where my guests are dining and check these things myself."

"Or...maybe I just like seeing my guests smiling. Who knows? *chuckle*"

• If spoken to again

"Sometimes I do go out and walk by the tables at my restaurant, but I'm no match for the waitstaff."

"They are masters in their own right. I'm constantly impressed by how quietly and efficiently they're able to move about the dining area."

"I can rest easy knowing the restaurant guests are in very good hands."

• Random conversation (Holiday 2019)

"Octillery and I first encountered one another on a beach."

"I was there with my Clawitzer to procure some new ingredients to work with."

"As we were walking, Clawitzer bristled at something hiding among the rocks, so he shot toward it with Water Gun..."

"and out jumped Octillery! In a way, I suppose we started off as enemies more than friends."

• If spoken to again

"As soon as Octillery spotted us, he attacked with Octazooka."

"Thankfully, we were able to dodge it for the most part, but a little bit of ink from the blast managed to splash into my mouth in the process."

"As soon as the flavor hit me, I knew... If used as a cooking ingredient, Octillery's ink could have endless potential!"

• Random conversation (Holiday 2019)

"Octillery's ink is actually safe to cook with and eat."

"It has a deep, robust, complex flavor... Simple words like "sweet" or "salty" or "spicy" can't even begin to describe the spectrum of it."

"I knew from the moment I tasted it that in the hands of an expert like myself, Octillery's ink could be used to create a new kind of food!"

"I wanted to learn everything I could about Octillery, so we spent a lot of time together."

• If spoken to again

"Octillery's ink isn't poisonous, but it can cause a peculiar reaction when handled, so there are certain precautions you have to take."

"The ink contains a substance that can dull our sense of smell. If you come into contact with it, your nose may not work very well for a while."

"That's why I always advise wearing a mask when extracting Octillery ink—to guard your nose from the fumes."

• Random conversation (Holiday 2019)

"I'd love to prepare you a full-course dinner someday, <player>. Would that interest you?"

"Every step of the process would be handled by yours truly, so you wouldn't have to lift a finger."

"I'll take care of everything, from preparing the food to setting the table—Chef Siebold's full dining experience."

• If spoken to again

"I'd like to use Octillery's ink in at least one of the courses. Yes, that would be a must!"

"But sadly, I have yet to perfect a recipe that uses it."

"Soon! Soon I will finish my recipe and you can look forward to tasting it—along with many other delicious dishes—in your full-course dinner!"

• Random conversation (Holiday 2019)

"When I wear this uniform, I'm forced to realize that there are certain ideals and expectations that come with food service."

"To master waiting on guests in the dining area would be to master a whole different art form."

"While I would love to do so, perfecting both serving and cooking would be a bit beyond my reach."

"My battle is in the kitchen, not the front of the restaurant."

• If spoken to again

"I think of my restaurant as a vast, complete work of art with many working parts."

"The chef who cooks the food, the staff who serve the guests in the front—all are vitally important."

"It's the joy of sharing a meal and the sense of community that that creates. It's one big work of art."

"One person can't create something like that alone. It's easy to get bigheaded as a chef, so I try to remind myself of that from time to time."

• Random conversation (Holiday 2019)

"Most Octillery like to spend their days in dark, cramped spaces like caves and grottoes."

"But ever since my Octillery and I became partners, he's worked right alongside me, even in the brightest places."

"I could be reaching, but I like to think that Octillery's odd behavior is proof that he really trusts me."

"If I'm correct, it would be terribly rude of me to trust Octillery any less in return. I always keep that in the back of my mind."

• If spoken to again

"I can see it as plain as day when I look at you and your Pokémon."

"You two have a deep trust for one another as partners."

"The beautiful harmony you create together could be described as art."

"Welcome back, Mr./Miss <player>. Would you care to start with an appetizer?"

"Ah, my apologies... It's this uniform. While I'm wearing it, my way of speaking automatically shifts into customer service mode."

• Special log-in conversation (evening) (Holiday 2019)

"Pasio is a great place to experience all sorts of regional cuisines, thanks to the variety of dishes and cooking ingredients imported here."

"A chef I ran into told me that curry is very popular in the Galar region."

"Apparently, cooking a pot of curry when one goes camping has become something of a tradition there. I'm curious how that tradition started."

"It's all certainly intriguing! If I ever have the opportunity to visit the region, I'd like to try making my own original curry recipe."
