These are Brawly's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series games

Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald

Dewford Gym

• Before battle

"I'm Brawly! Dewford's Gym Leader! I've been churned in the rough waves of these parts, and I've grown tough in the pitch-black cave! So you wanted to challenge me? Let me see what you're made of!"

• Being defeated

"Whoah, wow! You made a much bigger splash than I expected! You swamped me! Okay, you've got me. Take this Gym Badge!"

• After being defeated

"The Knuckle Badge makes all Pokémon up to Level 30, even those you get in trades, obey without question. And, you'll be able to use the HM move Flash outside of battle. If you'd like, use this Technical Machine, too."

"That TM08 contains Bulk Up. It's a move that raises both Attack and Defense stats."

"I can see your talent becoming a giant wave to cause a storm of astonishment among Trainers one day!"

Match Call^E

• After registering him

"Hey, there, <player>! I learned a lot from the battle we had together. I intend to do my training over, then reopen the Gym. It's going to take some time before I'm ready to run the Gym again. But if I can reopen the Gym, I want you to challenge us again."

• After defeating Champion, before rematch is available

"Hey, <player>! Congratulations! Word about your exploits arrived on tidal wings! It appears as if I need to work on my training some more. It's going to take some time before I'm ready to run the Gym again. But if I can reopen the Gym, I want you to challenge us again."

• When rematch is available

"Hey, <player>! My Gym's ready for action! Come back to Dewford anytime for another challenge!"

• After a rematch

"<Player>, I don't think I'll ever get bored of battling you!"

Rematch^E

• Before battle

"A wave may draw back, but it always returns to the shore. A giant wave of a talent like you... I knew you would return! Show me how much higher you've gone!"

• Being defeated

"Wow! Swamped again!"

• After being defeated

"Battling is vast and it's deep. You can't see the bottom. It's just like the sea of Hoenn!"

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

Pokémon World Tournament

• Before battle (first round)

"So you wanted to challenge me? Let me see what you're made of!"

• Before battle (second round)

"Pokémon battles are similar to how waves come in and out! I'm going to see if you're the kind of Trainer who can read that motion!"

• Before battle (final round)

"I've been churned in the rough waves, and I've grown tough in a pitch-black cave! So you wanted to challenge me? Let me see what you're made of!"

• Being defeated

"Whoa, wow! You made a much bigger splash than I expected!"

• If the player is defeated

"All right! I rode the big wave!"

• After being defeated

"Someday your talent will become a big wave, creating a storm of surprise among Pokémon Trainers!"

• After winning

"The one making a big wave is me! I'm going to keep on riding that wave!"

• In the lobby, after the tournament

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version

Mossdeep City

"Hmm. It's harder than I thought it'd be to get my body-fat percentage any lower... I need some way to keep on training my whole body... Yeah, maybe some squats, or..."

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Dewford Gym

• Before battle

"I'm Brawly! Dewford's Gym Leader! I've been churned in the rough waves of these parts... And I've grown tough using the cave at the outskirts of this town as my training ground, as well as using the equipment in this Gym. So you want to challenge me? Let me see what you're made of!"

• Being defeated

"Whoa, wow! You made a much bigger splash than I expected!"

• After being defeated

"OK, you've got me. Take this Gym Badge!"

"The Knuckle Badge makes all Pokémon up to Level 30, even those you get in trades, obey without question. Hmm... You know what? I think you can make full use of this, too. I'm sure this will help your Pokémon bulk up muscle!"

"Bulk Up temporarily enhances the Pokémon's muscle power. The move boosts both Attack and Defense stats of the Pokémon. I can see your talent becoming a giant wave that causes a storm of astonishment with Trainers one day! I look forward to the day when I can surf your giant wave!"

"By the way, have you been to Granite Cave? It's located to the north of this town. It's full of fascinating stuff, like rare stones and wall paintings thousands of years old. My friend Steven rushed to the cave after I told him about it."

• After becoming Champion

"You defeated Steven, right? The wave of rumor hit this town, too! I didn't think you'd roll in to the Hoenn region so soon. I've got catching up to do! My Pokémon and I are working hard every day to bulk up!"

Any Contest Hall

• After defeating Lisia in a Master Rank Contest

"Hey, Chaz! It's workout time!"

"Oh, it's you? I didn't know you knew Chaz."

"I've never watched a contest before, but if you and Chaz are in it, I should watch at least one contest! OK, Chaz, let's go!"

"You two understand what Pokémon are saying? That's incredible! OK. Now we're really leaving!"

Main Story Chapter 21 - Face the Fight!

• Face the Fight: Part 1
• Off-screen, as "???"

"You do have a good shout... But you gotta have balance, too."

• After appearing, as Brawly

"Yeah, those were some rad waves! Hariyama had tons of fun, too!"

"Oh hey, Marshal! You training here, too?"

"Wait! Marshal, are you and Conkeldurr–"

"Hmm..."

"Your upper bodies are definitely impressive. Your muscles make it obvious that you've got an intense training regimen."

"But your lower body can still use some improvement. If you train your legs, your lower half'll be totally gnarly in no time, too!"

"I might have a different methodology than Bruno, but I train and work out as well."

"Oh! If you want a good way to train your lower body, I'd recommend surfing!"

"Haha! You never know... You two might be good at it!"

"Uh...did I say something wrong?"

"Huh?"

"I guess that's just the kind of synergy that Fighting-type fanatics like us create!"

"But we're not the ultimate team yet!"

• Face the Fight: Part 2

"Besides, we're martial artists. You know it's not in our nature to quit."

"Fine by me! You sure, though? It's pretty tough!"

• Sawyer's Proposal

"You gotta train to look good in sportswear!"

"You've convinced me, Sawyer!"

Special Event - Electricity Disruptors

• If spoken to

"This darkness! I feel my fighting spirit surging up inside me!"

"I feel like any second now, a Gym challenger is gonna come take me on!"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Brawly

• Off-screen, as "???"

"What's wrong, Makuhita? You're never gonna catch me at that rate!"

"You're gonna have to show me more if you wanna catch me! Let me see your guts!"

• After appearing, as Brawly

"Heh, looks like I've finally lit a fire under you."

"That's it! I know you've got more guts than that!"

You shouldn't fight./Are you teasing Makuhita?: "Huh? <player>? I didn't expect to see you here."

"Did you think we were fighting?"

"If you did, you're wrong. We were training to improve our balance for surfing."

"Makuhita wanted me to help improve his surfing skills."

"I was just trying to get him fired up."

Oh, I see!/Ah, neat!: "Surfing is more than just our hobby. It's serious training for us."

"It's been that way ever since I taught Makuhita how to surf."

"At first, he couldn't even stand up on the board."

"But every time he failed, Makuhita's toughness wouldn't let him quit. He never gave up, so he improved quickly."

"That unwavering fighting spirit that never gives up—no matter what—is what made Makuhita."

"No, not just Makuhita. It made us both grow."

You, too, Brawly?: "Of course! Seeing Makuhita's fighting spirit lit a fire in my heart, too!"

You guys have worked hard, huh?: "Yup! No matter how hard things got, we never threw in the towel."

"When Makuhita is working as hard as he does, it gives me strength, too."

"Makuhita's strength is that no matter how hard you hit him, he always gets back up."

"And you, too—"

"Huh?! Makuhita?! What are you doing?!"

"Hahaha! I guess he was still mad from earlier."

"Even still, you've gotten stronger, haven't you, Makuhita?"

"You're like a totally different Pokémon from when we first met!"

"We have to keep our momentum if we wanna get stronger than <player>!"

Me?/Umm...: "I think you're the opponent everyone should be afraid of."

"You have a fighting spirit just like Makuhita's. You never break, no matter what happens."

"You're a tough opponent that we won't be able to defeat easily, but that makes me excited."

"Let me tell you why..."

"The bigger the wave that's coming at you, the more a surfer wants to ride it!"

Sync Pair Story - Makuhita's Evolution

• Before battle

"Totes, Bruno! But you'd better not think we're the same as we were when you saw us last time!"

"All right, let's get this started, bro! I'm gonna take you down!"

"You'd better be ready for this big wave, Bruno!"

• After defeating Bruno

"That was a rad battle, bro! It's great that we were able to go all-out against each other!"

"Aw yeah! We'll train all over Pasio!"

"Huh? Whoa, Makuhita! You're evolving!"

"Bodacious, my dude! Now training'll be even more awesome!"

Sync Pair Story - Nosepass's Evolution

• Before battle

"You gotta chill, Roxanne. Pokémon Evolution is just like working out."

"The most important thing is to keep at it! Working out gives you muscles, and as long as you don't give up, I know Nosepass'll evolve!"

"All right, let's get this party started!"

"This battle'll bring us another step closer to Evolution!"

• After being defeated

"Whoa! You two knocked us down like a gnarly wave! I don't know why you were sweatin' it. Your bonds are wicked strong!"

Pokémon Center

• Random conversation*

"Makuhita's power is amazing! He trains all the time without me having to say anything!"

"Although, long ago, we had an argument..."

"Hahaha! I suddenly got sent flying."

"His body may be small, but it's packed full of power and he's got a lot of guts."

• If spoken to again

"With a tenacious Pokémon like that around, I soon formed a rivalry."

"It'd be great if you can find a partner like that, too!"

• Random conversation

"I love to go surfing! I've trained my body so I can enjoy riding the rough waves!"

"Planking is good for paddling! Push-ups are good for improving your takeoff!"

"Squats and marathon running are effective, too!"

"Even if you can't ride the waves, don't give up. Training your body requires heart!"

• If spoken to again

"When I say heart, I don't mean the organ."

"I mean that passion in your heart. That feeling of being honest with yourself."

• Random conversation

"I'm from Dewford Town. It's a small island."

"The island's pretty small, so we're all like family there. We're all bound by some incredibly strong bonds."

"We all help each other out. We can stand against even the strongest of waves. 'Cause we've got teamwork!"

• If spoken to again

"When there's a problem in Dewford Town, people from all over the island come to help!"

"Whether Dewford Town's strength lives on depends on you! Ride that wave as best you can!"

"If you ride that wave...the rest will work itself out somehow!"

• Random conversation

"Hitmontop is a Pokémon with a really unique kind of fighting pose!"

"I use the feeling of the balance of that excellent pose as reference for surfing."

"I can tell just by looking at you, you'd be captivated by its pose, too!"

• If spoken to again

"There's a lot of things you can learn from studying Pokémon!"

"Who we are today is thanks to Pokémon!"

• Random conversation

"<player>! We meet again! Call me when you can't ride those sweet waves!"

"A long time ago, I used to relax with my training partners a lot!"

"The best break from working out is more of it! And a Pokémon battle is the best thing for that!"

• If spoken to again

"A long time ago, I used to train together with one that had a love for Rage Candy Bars and a fiery passion!"

"I'm waiting for the day when we can communicate with our hearts!"

• Random conversation

"Look! Look at these biceps! These pecs! These traps!"

"Muscles are obedient! If you train them, they will answer you!"

"Put love into it, just like with raising Pokémon! That's the secret to muscle training!"

• If spoken to again

"Waves will take anything you throw at them! Muscles are the same!"

"We say "mother ocean," so are our muscles like a mother, too?"

"Nah, wait. We're the ones raising them, so we're the mothers? Or maybe fathers?"

"Hm? That's not the point? Hah, I say weird stuff sometimes!"

• Random conversation

"The trick to getting better at surfing...is to have a stout heart!"

"Pokémon battles are the same! Even if your real ability isn't enough, don't lose in your heart!"

"Don't just train your body—train your heart! That's what it means to be truly strong!"

"As long as you remember that, you can ride any wave, no matter how rough!"

• If spoken to again

"I love high waves and the salty breeze from the bottom of my heart!"

"When the sun's summer rays are beating down, I put my training to the test!"

"And when I finally ride that wave, I'm filled with an overflowing sense of accomplishment!"

"I want to share that feeling! Don't you want to try out surfing?"

• Special log-in conversation (generic)
