Crasher Wake/Quotes

These are Crasher Wake's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series games

Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum

Veilstone City^Pt

"The ring is my roiling sea. ♪

The towering waves shaped me.

Crash! Crash! Crasher Wake!

Crash! Crash! Crasher Wake!

I'm the tidal wave of power to wash you away!

Put out the fire, Crasher Wake!

Run from electricity, Crasher Wake!

Ah, ah, aaaah!

The ring is my sea. ♪"

"Hello, dude and young lady! You're challenging the Gym Leader, are you? Let me tell you now, she's young, but she's a born genius. I tried training with her, and I was stunned by how tough she was! Whoops! I'd better tell you who I am! I'm the triple-threat Gym Leader in Pokémon, wrestling, and song. I'm Crasher Wake of Pastoria Gym! We'll meet again!"

Pastoria Gym

• Before battle

"Welcome! I don't get challenged very often! The glory you are now beholding is the Pastoria Gym Leader! That's right, I'm Crasher Wake! My Pokémon were toughened up by stormy white waters! They'll take everything you can throw at them and then pull you under! Victory will be ours! Come on, let's get it done!"

• After the opponent sends out their last Pokémon

"Hey! That there! That was a good move!"

• When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health

"This is where it gets exciting!"

• Upon being defeated

"Hunwah! It's gone and ended! How will I say this... I want more! I wanted to battle a lot more!"

• After being defeated

"It seems the undertow pulled me under... But I had a great time battling with you! You've earned this!"

"You need that Fen Badge to use the hidden move Defog^DP/Surf^Pt outside of battle. This is a special reward from me in recognition of your team's power."

"That TM55 contains the move Brine. It inflicts double the damage on targets with less than half their HP left. Use it to end battles decisively!"

• If talked to again

"The styles of battling and winning are as widely varied as Trainers are. Do you want to know how I battle? I battle so I can say I had fun at the end, whether I win or lose!"

Pastoria City^Pt

"What's this racket, then? Oh, it's you two."

"...Listen, kid. I know your father. I won't deny that. But I don't recall ever taking you on as an apprentice. Not in the least. Besides, you two don't need me. You can become strong on your own without being my apprentice."

"WHAAAAT?! No one messes with Pastoria! Not on my watch!"

"So, where's this Galac..."

"YOU! What've you done?!"

"The Great Marsh is invaluable... You two! Do NOT follow me! Don't let anyone else in, either! There'd be big trouble if there's any of that bomb left!"

Route 227

"Oh, if it isn't <player>! It's been a while! You've grown so tough that you're training out here now... Everyone keeps getting tougher and tougher... And, in doing that, they develop closer bonds with their Pokémon..."

"What? Are you still having trouble understanding? I don't for a second ever recall accepting you as an apprentice! I mean, if it's wrestling moves, I can show you all you like, but..."

"...How'd I get involved in this...? So, anyway, <player>. You're going to Stark Mountain? Even the wild Pokémon there are very, very tough... If your Pokémon aren't well trained, they'll have a miserable time... Then again, that kind of challenge is an exciting prospect... But no matter what, you'd better be fully prepared! I've got to get ready for another tournament. Farewell!"

Villa^Pt

"Hey! <Rival> told me to come. This is some spread you've got here! It's spectacular, yeah! How would I put it now...? It's, uh, spectacular! It is what it is!"

"Mmmmm...! Listen, you! How would you like to decorate these premises with my trophies? No, scrap that thought! How about a wrestling ring?"

"I've been thinking, though. That pal of yours, <rival>, and Palmer are father and son all right. I mean, just seeing them, they're hilariously alike. Their overall atmosphere and their mannerisms and such... Seeing them cracks me up."

"...This place here... You don't have a microphone handy? How am I supposed to perform my signature song, I'd like to know? Ah, ah, ah. The ring is my roiling sea. ♪"

"I was meaning to ask you, by the way... You're tuning in to my wrestling matches on TV, aren't you? In wrestling, you always have to be aware of what the other guy's doing. That's the same as Pokémon battling, wouldn't you say? So, what I'm saying is, watch me wrestle if you want to get better at battling!"

Battleground

Scenario 1

• Before battle

"What's there to do for Trainers here? Seems to me there's nothing to do but battle!"

Yes: "My Pokémon have new Water-type moves under their belts! Let's see how you bear up under them!"

No: "Then you get my song instead! Er-hem!"

"The ring is my roiling sea. ♪

The towering waves shaped me.

Crash! Crash! Crasher Wake!

Crash! Crash! Crasher Wake!

I'm the tidal wave of power to wash you away!

Put out the fire, Crasher Wake!

Run from electricity, Crasher Wake!

Ah, ah, aaaah!

The ring is my sea. ♪"

If talked to again after the player answered "No": "Words aren't needed. We understand each other through battle! That's what makes us Trainers!"

• When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health

"If we turn it around here, the spectators will be stoked!"

• Upon being defeated

"That puts a grin on my face! Guhahaha! That was a blast!"

• After being defeated

"Battles that end with both sides enjoying the experience without caring about the winner or loser... That's what I strive for. One of these days, I hope to battle everyone in the world... Isn't that right, <player>?!"

Scenario 2

• Before battle

"All right! How's it going? My Pokémon were toughened up by stormy white waters! They'll take everything you can throw at them and then pull you under! Victory will be ours! Come on, let's get it done!"

Yes: "That's the spirit! Bring it on!"

No: "Whoops! You're giving me the slip? You're a slick one, <player>!"

If talked to again after the player answered "No": "So, what's the story? Are we gonna battle?"

• When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health

"If we turn it around here, the spectators will be stoked!"

• Upon being defeated

"That puts a grin on my face! Guhahaha! That was a blast!"

• After being defeated

"For all the training I do, there are still plenty tougher than me. The stronger I get, the farther away the goal seems to be. The road is harsh and long. There's no end to it. But beside me always are my Pokémon. Every inch of the way!"

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

Celadon Department Store

"Hmm... Hmm... Humm... Ha! This is quite a mask... Huh? You talking to me? Your eyes...are on my Crasher Wake mask? No, no, no! I can never let it go! ... Huh? That's not it? You want the other mask? Hmm. OK."

"What? That's not enough? You're quite a negotiator for your age... All right, I'll give you this, too!"

"... Arrr, all right, all right! I will give you this much-valued one as well!"

"It's OK. I've already paid for you. Presents for you from the one who wears masks the best. Don't be shy. Ha ha ha!"

Route 47

"A masked guy who looks great in front of a huge torrential waterfall... That's me, Crasher Wake! Who dares to talk to me so freely? Oh! You are that mask-fanatic Trainer I saw at the Celadon Dept. Store! I heard about the great waterfall near Cianwood and decided to come see it. This waterfall is awesome! No human or Pokémon can survive without water, yet the same water can sometimes cause great suffering. You must be a Trainer from this region, right? I hope you'll become a Trainer with the qualities of water--strong, tough to beat, yet refreshing. Good luck, mask-fanatic <player>!"

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

Route 18

"The ring is my roiling sea. ♪

Crash! Crash! Crasher Wake!

I'm the tidal wave of power to wash you away!

Put out the fire, Crasher Wake!

Run from electricity, Crasher Wake!

Ah, ah, aaaah!

The ring is my sea. ♪"

• If the player did not battle Crasher Wake in the Pokémon World Tournament before

"Do you know what the Wake is singing? It's the theme song of Crasher Wake, pro wrestler and Gym Leader of Pastoria City in the Sinnoh region! You know it?"

Yes: "Yeeeeah! That's right!"

No: "You've got to be kidding!"

"I'm the Gym Leader who's got it all--as a Pokémon pro wrestler and as a singer! I'm Pastoria Gym's Crasher Wake! Here's a little bit of Crasher Wake trivia for ya! Everyone say I'm a wrestler from abroad, but the truth is... I was born and raised in the Sinnoh region! It's what they call my gimmick! Hey, but that's a secret, OK? OK! Time to take off for Driftveil City! Yeah!"

• If the player battled Crasher Wake in the Pokémon World Tournament before

"Oh! It's you! Hey! I had a good time battling you! Yes! I'm in the mood for a battle both the winner and loser will say is fun! OK! Time to take off for Driftveil City! Yeah!"

Pokémon World Tournament

"Even if you hold down your foe, what you get is a small satisfaction. It's better to bring out your foe's power and win! Then, both can get closer to glory!"

• Before sending out last Pokémon

"Well done indeed! Not many can capsize me!"

• When last Pokémon is at critical health

"My victory will be all the more meaningful when I get out of this tight spot!"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Crasher Wake

"The ring is my rolling sea. ♪"

"Fight! Get 'im! Flying Press! Undefeated hero! ♪"

"What? Whoa, <player>! I didn't see you there!"

Why are you singing?: "Ha ha ha! So you heard my singing and came all this way?"

I heard you from way over there.: "Ha ha ha! You heard my singing and came all this way, huh?"

"Well, if you want to know, I was singing a song to the people in Sinnoh across the sea!"

You, uh... You think they can hear you?: "Ha ha ha! My voice carries across oceans and soars over mountains!"

"Or...so I hope, anyway."

Why don't you just use a phone?: "Come on, <player>! Don't spoil the fun!"

"I know it's pointless, but you shouldn't not do something just because it's pointless!"

What are you talking about?/Uh...sure.: "Seems like you don't get it. Maybe I should tell you a story about Floatzel and me. Eh, Floatzel?"

"Back when I had just started my pro wrestling career..."

"Floatzel begged me to take him to sea by boat, so we voyaged out to the wild blue yonder!"

"Unfortunately, though, we anchored our boat in a spot that had a cold and very fast current."

"It would have been impossible to swim through. Pointless, even."

"At least I thought so! Floatzel, on the other hand, jumped into the ocean and started swimming against the current!"

"A battle with Mother Nature herself! Of course, at the beginning, there was nothing Floatzel could have really done—just be swept away."

"But day after day, Floatzel would continue swimming."

"After seeing that determination, I decided to train as well!"

"While I swam with him every day, I noticed he was able to swim a little bit faster each time."

"Little by little, he got stronger and made progress each day."

"And eventually, he outpaced the ocean current!"

"In that moment, Floatzel's efforts meant something! It hadn't all been for nothing after all!"

Wow!: "I know, right? I was so happy, I jumped into the water with him!"

"Then we got carried out to open sea..."

Is that a true story?: "I don't blame you if you don't believe me. Even I thought it was a dream when I first saw it."

"Maybe if others had seen Floatzel swimming, they would've thought it pointless at first."

"I mean, you won't know if something's worth the effort if you never give it a try, right?"

"If Floatzel had thought there was no point in trying, he would've never outpaced that current!"

"That is what Floatzel has taught me!"

"So...before you start to say my singing is pointless, join me for a verse or two! Maybe our voices will reach Sinnoh!"

"Crash! Crash! Crasher Wake!"

Crash! Crash!: "That's the spirit!"

Crasher Waaaake!: "That's more like it!"

"Well, that's enough of a warm-up! Let's do another!"

"So that the whole world—! Er...I mean, so the whole island can hear us!"

Crash! Crash!: "That's it! Keep it up!"

Crasher Waaaake!: "All right! Sounding good!"

• Off-screen

"Hm? Hey, look over there! There's a Pokémon Ranger up on that cliff!"

"How about that! She's waving at us! She can hear our voices!"

• On-screen

"Crasher Waaaake!"

Sync Pair Story - Prinplup's Evolution

• Before battle

"I'm still not saying you can be my apprentice, but you're certainly growing! I've had my eye on you."

"I just said I'm not your master! You're still far too soft to be my apprentice! You can still get stronger!"

"First, you have to show me your skills. Then we can talk!"

• After being defeated

"Barry and Prinplup, you gave me a good match! You look happy about it, don't you?"

"The way you battled, I almost thought you were your father!"

Pokémon Center

• Random conversation

"My partner, Floatzel, also loves professional wrestling!"

"We travel throughout the Sinnoh region and make appearances in matches together!"

"Now that I think about it, the first time I met Floatzel was in the ring, too!"

• If spoken to again

"See, he interrupted one of my matches back when he was still a Buizel!"

"We've been the best tag team ever since!"

"You'll meet your best partner in battle someday, too. Just wait!"

"Or, what do I know. Maybe you've already met!"

• Random conversation

"One of the Pokémon I'm raising is a Quagsire."

"Normally it seems really zoned out and it's difficult to tell what's going on in its head..."

"But once a battle starts, it overwhelms the competition with an amazing display of power!"

"Its cute look hides a fiery heart! It's amazing!"

• If spoken to again

"It doesn't move much, but it's definitely what you'd call a powerhouse!"

"I hope you can appreciate Quagsire's talent, too!"

• Random conversation

"Gah hah hah! It seems like Crasher Wake is famous even here on Pasio!"

"But, hmmm. That means I need to be careful and make sure I maintain my image at all times! Don't want to ruin the dreams of the children!"

"I definitely need to make sure I stay healthy! What kind of wrestler would I be if I got knocked out by a cold, after all?!"

• If spoken to again

"Even if you've got a strong body, you still need to take care of it!"

"Your body is your most fundamental asset, after all!"

• Random conversation

"By the way, did you know I personally wrote the theme song for Crasher Wake?!"

"Now, let me give you a taste of my amazing singing voice!"

"Er-hem! Aaah aaah ahh... The ring is my rolling sea. ♪"

• If spoken to again

"I've been told that my singing can make babies and Pokémon stop crying!"

"Gah hah hah! My voice must be more soothing and melodic than I thought!"

• Random conversation

"I've been surprised by a lot of things since I came to Pasio!"

"The first thing I noticed was the ocean! I love the sea in the Sinnoh region, too, but the water here is really amazing!"

"Another thing that surprised me is you, <player>! You've true muscle!"

"I hope you keep training those muscles to the max!"

• If spoken to again

"Don't worry—Crasher Wake has his eye on you! I'll watch your every step as you grow stronger!"

"I'm already looking forward to the day you come challenge me in my own ring in Sinnoh!"

• Random conversation

"Hey, what's up? You need a sparring partner?"

"You've certainly gotten a lot stronger than when we first met! You're almost a completely different person!"

"Your strength is proof that you've been able to keep up with the Wake in your training!"

• If spoken to again

"You're turning out well! I'd say you're almost ready to say you're a top-notch wrestler!"

"Ahem, I mean Trainer! This makes me want to cry tears of joy!"

"Once the PML is over, why don't we officially become a tag team and take on challengers in the ring together?"

• Random conversation

"I was watching your battle just now! You did good!"

"It's all thanks to the time spent with yours truly, of course!"

"You're definitely a proper wrestler now! I'd have you as a main event any day!"

• If spoken to again

"What's that? You'd rather stay a Trainer instead of becoming a wrestler?"

"Oh, don't be shy! Don't worry—I'll make you a supercool mask, too!"

"Let's see, you'll need a ring name, too. Oh! How about Crasher Wake Jr.?!"

• Special log-in conversation (generic)
