Valerie/Quotes

These are Valerie's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon X and Y

Laverre Gym

• Before battle

"Oh, if it isn't a young Trainer... So you've flown all the way through my Gym, fluttering down to me on a fortunate wind. Then I suppose you have earned yourself the right to a battle, as a reward for your efforts. I am Valerie, who leads this Fairy-type Gym. I hope your visit will prove entertaining to you. The elusive Fairy types may appear frail as a breeze and delicate as a bloom, but they are strong."

• Upon being defeated

"I hope the sun is shining tomorrow... That would be reason enough to smile."

• After being defeated

"Yes... That was a fine battle. I shall reward you for this great victory. This is the Fairy Badge. It is yours now. Its beauty is captivating, is it not? ... ... ... ... ... ... Ah... Do forgive me. I was so captivated, I forgot for a moment that it is yours."

"This captivating Fairy Badge will endear any Pokémon up to Lv. 80 to you... Yes, even those Pokémon that you may receive from others will obey you. I also wish to award you this TM... Please consider it a personal gift from me, not simply the winnings of a battle."

"Oh? My, what a curious feeling... I can't seem to recall any longer which move is contained in that TM. I hope you might forgive me. My designs are said to be rather mystifying. Do you agree with that? I've always wanted to be a Pokémon, you see. That desire is my inspiration and what I try to achieve by designing. And yet...the only time I feel I am truly one with Pokémon is when we are embroiled in desperate battle. I wonder why that is... Hmm... Could it be-- Never mind. It is nothing, kind Trainer."

• Post-game

"What do you think it is exactly that separates humans from Pokémon? Is there even need for such a thing? Why should they be separate from one another?"

Battle Chateau

• Before battle (first battle)

"Oh, if it isn't my young Trainer... It is lovely to get to meet you again like this. Then I suppose you have earned yourself the right to a battle, as a reward for your efforts. The elusive Fairy may appear frail as the breeze and delicate as a bloom, but it is strong."

• Before battle (rematch)

"Oh, if it isn't my young Trainer... We seem to keep meeting like this, don't we? Then I suppose you have earned yourself the right to a battle, as a reward for your efforts. The elusive Fairy may appear frail as the breeze and delicate as a bloom, but it is strong."

• Upon being defeated

"I hope that you will find things worth smiling about tomorrow..."

• After being defeated

If giving the player an item: "I hope you will accept this gift from me... Please consider it as a personal gift from me, not simply the winnings of a battle."

"That was truly a captivating battle. I might just be captivated by you."

• If the player is defeated

"Oh goodness, what a pity..."

• The Maiden from a Land with History
• As "???"

"Oh! Is that you over there, Erika?"

"I'm glad we ran into each other."

• As Valerie

"I'm Valerie. A pleasure to meet you."

"That's right. In Kalos, I'm known as the maiden from a land with history."

"Ah... You two..."

"No. It's actually your clothes..."

"They pair so well with your partner Pokémon. I think they're wonderful."

"Really? That'd be wonderful. I'm still not quite used to things here on Pasio. I hardly know my left from my right."

• To Be a Pokémon

"It's not the price that matters. It's how good it looks on the wearer that's important."

"That's right. Clair, Koga, your outfits really match the two of you well."

"The two of you have such a charming style. I'm sure even your clothes are happy to be worn by you two."

"Something I'd like to do?"

"That sure would be a big help."

"In that case..."

"I'd like to become a Pokémon."

What do you mean?: "Well, I mean exactly what I said. I'd like to be a Pokémon."

What?! Me too!: "Really? Oh, I'm so happy to hear that, <player>."

"My fashion designs are all about that feeling of becoming a Pokémon."

"After receiving a sync stone, I thought I'd be able to..."

"... ... ..."

"Oh! I'm sorry. I was caught up in the beauty of my sync stone for a moment."

"And...well..."

"Sorry. I completely forgot what we were talking about before."

"Ah, that's right. So, what do you think? Would it be possible?"

"What? Really?"

"Oh, goodness. What a pity..."

"Hmm. Let me think for a minute..."

"Oh! Well, there is someone I want to meet."

"Elesa?"

• A Fellow Fashionista?

"Hey, you. You said you know Elesa?"

"Really? Could you tell me where you saw her?"

"I've heard that Elesa is on Pasio, and I've actually been wanting to meet her."

"I've been wanting to meet her for a while now. She's really stylish."

"I want to know how she thinks and lives–and how to become like that."

"I feel like meeting her would really get my creativity going."

"Ah."

"Huh?"

"My, how nice..."

"Thank you! I can't wait!"

• Challenge in the Forest
• After the second battle

"Oh, is that so? Hmm... Then, the best advice I can give you is to hold your heads high and don't be so embarrassed about how you look. Own it."

• Leaf's Idea

"Wha–? You've heard of me, Elesa?"

"Me too. I'm really happy."

"Say, Elesa..."

"One day, I really hope you'll wear one of the dresses I make."

"Huh? Of course I was. I absolutely want to be a Pokémon."

"You mean it? Can I really, really be a Pokémon?"

"Hmm. I still don't really understand, but I'm up for it if you are, <player>."

"The elusive Fairy types may appear frail as a breeze and delicate as a bloom, but they are strong."

• The Stage Awaits

"I lost, but..."

"How do I put this...? When I used my sync move..."

"it felt like I was one with Sylveon."

"What was that feeling?"

"That's what it means to become a Pokémon..."

"I see. On Pasio, you and your Pokémon can unite your hearts and minds, and when you do, it feels like you've become your Pokémon."

"My, that's wonderful. Just wonderful. I'm really interested in Pokémon battles on Pasio now."

"I'm in your debt, everyone. Thank you."

"It might be a bit too soon, but I'd like to get even closer with Sylveon right away."

"Elesa, would you please do me the favor of battling me?"

"So, your team will get to battle with Elesa next, <player>?"

"Oh my! I suppose I'll just have to join your team then, won't I?"

"That way, I can have a battle with Elesa on the greatest stage imaginable!"

"Oh, well, only if that's all right with everyone else."

"Really?"

Let's do it, Valerie!: "<player>..."

"Thank you. Sylveon and I will do our best!"

I'm counting on you, Valerie!: "<player>..."

"I'm counting on you, too, <player>..."

"Hee hee. I think we'll get along quite well."

"Me, too. I'm really looking forward to the coming battles."

"I want to go all out, too, so let's be sure to give it everything we've got."

Legendary Adventures - Pure Hearts and Rainbow Wings

• Seek the Kimono Girl!
• Off-screen, as "???"

"That cape is truly captivating."

• After appearing, as Valerie

"And the quality of this fabric is beyond compare."

"The way it furls about in the wind, I can't imagine a more fitting garment for you, Lance."

"Kimono Girl?"

"Oh, if it isn't <player>. Are these friends of yours?"

"That's why you went looking for me."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not one of the Kimono Girls. I'm a fashion designer."

"Hehe. No need to worry. I actually know quite a bit about Ho-Oh."

"I was so captivated by its dazzling beauty that I simply had to learn all I could."

"Lance, Silver, do you two have some sort of history together?"

"Very well, then."

"As I'm sure you've heard, Ho-Oh is a beautiful Pokémon that possesses magnificent, seven-colored wings."

"It's said to leave a rainbow in its wake as it flies."

"Ho-Oh is also said to live at the foot of a rainbow."

"*sigh* Ho-Oh is such a captivating Pokémon, isn't it?"

"I'd like to design clothes that are as dazzling as its rainbow-colored wings someday."

"... ... ..."

"Ah, do forgive me. I was so captivated, I lost myself in thought for a moment."

"Hmm..."

"Ah!"

"As I recall, the legends say Ho-Oh has appeared in Ecruteak City at the Bell Tower and the burned remains of the Brass Tower."

"Perhaps it prefers elevated locales? It does fly through the sky, after all."

"Ah, before you go, there is one more thing I just remembered. It's actually rather important."

"Ho-Oh will not reveal itself to just anyone."

"It's said to only appear before Trainers who are pure of heart."

"Ho-Oh will not appear before any Trainer whose intentions are wicked."

• Lance and Silver

"Silver is rather late. I wonder if he's actually going to come."

"Well said. When you put it like that, I suppose we should wait a little longer."

"I appreciate your concern, but I'll be fine."

"It just means I'll need to work even harder if I want to see Ho-Oh."

"Hehe. I suppose I shall give it my all, too."

• The Choices We Make

"Ethan, look..."

• A Pure Heart Revealed

"Those two really are in perfect sync, aren't they?"

"I've still got some fight in me."

"It would seem Ho-Oh came to our rescue."

"Ho-Oh is so beautiful, isn't it?"

"If it were my partner Pokémon, I'd spend every waking hour of every day captivated by it."

"Hmhm... It would seem Ho-Oh has made its choice..."

"and it has chosen you, Silver."

"Did you say you're doing a live show, Lisia?"

"Would you let me design your outfit for the show?"

"But, I do have one request."

"In exchange for making your outfit, I want you and Dawn to form an idol unit."

"When Oricorio and Rapidash line up next to each other, they're so beautiful."

"Seeing that gave me an idea!"

"I'd love to see you two next to each other, dancing in the outfits I design..."

"I'll take care of the design. Could you make them, Kali?"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Valerie

Wait a minute!/What's going on here?: "That Trainer's been going around challenging anyone and everyone to battles, without any care about how they feel."

"Oh... I was hoping you'd have a Pokémon battle with me..."

"What an incredibly cute Trainer you are."

"Those clothes look fabulous on you, too... I'm sure you'd look great in some of the clothes I've made."

"Oh, your partner Pokémon appears embarrassed as well. Hee hee, what a cute sync pair."

"Oh my, she really left..."

Are you all right?/You weren't scared?: "<player>? Were you worried about me? Thank you... I'm all right, though."

"My Pokémon may appear frail as the breeze and delicate as a bloom, but looks can be deceiving."

"Sylveon was emitting an aura from his feelers without that Trainer noticing."

"Sylveon's aura can calm aggressive feelings. Pretty smart, right?"

"I'm more than just an ordinary Trainer, you know... I'm actually..."

"... ... ..."

A Gym Leader?: "A Gym Leader? I am, but not here on Pasio..."

A fashion designer?: "I'm not working as a designer on Pasio..."

"... ... ..."

"Oh, sorry. I got lost in thought and forgot what we were talking about for a moment. Oh, that's right."

"I'm pretty carefree, so Sylveon and I are quite similar. We're a good match, I think."

You're a sync pair that looks alike!/You're practically twins!: "I'm very happy to hear you say that, <player>."

"I've always wanted to be a Pokémon, and that's reflected in the clothes I design."

"I wonder... Does that mean I'd be able to drain an opponent of their will to fight, like Sylveon does?"

"If I do this..."

"What do you think? Does it have any effect?"

It does!: "Thank goodness. Next, I think I'll try it out in a Pokémon battle."

I'm not too sure...: "That's a shame. But I won't give up trying to become a Pokémon."

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Kali

"A furisode inspired by Azumarill?"

"That's a good idea... But I think you should design that yourself, Kali."

"You're the one who knows the most about Azumarill, right?"

"Sorry to do this mid conversation... I have plans coming up, so I must leave. Please forgive my rudeness."

"I need someone to take my place... Oh! Is that <player>?"

"Can I leave Kali with you for a bit?"

Of course!: "Hehe, I appreciate it."

Leave it to me!: "Hehe, how reliable!"

"Well then, see you later, you two. I'll be cheering you on."

Pokémon Center

• Random conversation

"I like Fairy-type Pokémon."

"I thought up these clothes thanks to Fairy-type Pokémon. I wanted to be as graceful and elegant as they are."

"Fairy-type Pokémon are more than just cute. They're mysterious and powerful creatures."

"I wonder if there's a word for that..."

• If spoken to again

"The longer you spend with Fairy-type Pokémon, the more you learn about them."

"They're kind to new people, and they continue to surprise, even when you spend every day with them."

"Ha... I wonder how I could become a Fairy-type Pokémon."

• Random conversation

"I've been feeling a bit different ever since I arrived on Pasio."

"It's a bit hard for me to explain, but it's like the refreshing feeling of putting on a new dress."

"A change of environment can really change how you feel, you know?"

• If spoken to again

"You can get used to anything, but there is such a thing as getting too used to something..."

"I suppose that's difficult to explain with words."

• Random conversation

"I'm the Gym Leader of the Laverre Gym in Kalos. The badge I give out is called..."

"the Fairy Badge. It's a really beautiful badge, too."

"The interior of my Gym is really cute. Just looking at it is sure to put a smile on your face."

"The Gym is made up of several little rooms... It's made to look like a dollhouse!"

• If spoken to again

"The Trainers in each room are dressed accordingly. It's like one big fashion show."

"Trainers who challenge the Gym have to use warp panels to move from room to room."

"I would be glad to use those warp panels with you someday."

• Random conversation

"My partner Pokémon is truly elegant, don't you think?"

"Back when he was an Eevee, he was so round and cute."

"I cared for him every day, and we were always together."

"The day Eevee evolved into Sylveon was a clear and beautiful one. Sylveon was sparkling in the sunlight."

• If spoken to again

"When things aren't going well and I'm feeling down on myself..."

"Sylveon comes over and wraps his feelers around my arms."

"Sylveon does this because he can understand my feelings."

"In that moment, I think I was able to understand Sylveon's feelings of kindness, too."

• Random conversation

"I've been thinking."

"Every Trainer shares something in common with their partner Pokémon, in one way or another."

"I wonder if Sylveon and I are a sync pair because we're similar to each other."

"The Trainers here on Pasio all seem to have come with Pokémon that share similarities with them."

• If spoken to again

"If you became a Pokémon, I wonder which one you'd be, <player>."

"I think you'd be a compassionate Pokémon that gives everyone a reason to smile."

"If I ever did become a Pokémon too, I'd be happy if we would keep being friends as Pokémon."

• Random conversation

"Battling together with my Pokémon partner helps us unify our thoughts and feelings. It feels like I'm growing closer to becoming a Pokémon."

"But something is still missing for me to become a Pokémon."

"Oh, what about you and I becoming a sync pair, <player>?"

• If spoken to again

"I think we could make for a good sync pair, but..."

"But if we were, we wouldn't be able to battle each other anymore. It's too bad—I really thought it was a good idea."

• Random conversation

"I designed the clothes I'm wearing with my desire to become a Pokémon in mind."

"Whether in design or in Pokémon battles, learning from the strengths of others is the way to grow into the ideal you."

"Recently, I've been observing your techniques in battles, <player>."

• If spoken to again

"Watching other people, you start to see their good and bad points."

"I wonder how we Trainers look to our partner Pokémon..."

"If I were your Pokémon, I think I'd see a lot of good things about you, <player>!"

• Special log-in conversation (generic)

"Oh, <player>. How nice to see you today."

"I hope that you will find things worth smiling about today."

"Oh, if it isn't a young Trainer... You've come at quite the appropriate time."

"This is a gift from me to you. Be sure to use it well, OK?"
