Arven/Quotes: Difference between revisions

These are Arven's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Poco Path

"Why, that little..."

"What're you doing out here?!"

"I'm not talking to you two. You can shove off."

"Doesn't matter who my mom^S/dad^V is!"

"The real issue here is what in the world this Pokémon is doing out here! And what is with this form it's in?!"

"Well, yeah. As it should be. But it can't fight while it's like this. The form Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V takes in battle... That's its true form."

"You can't go in the lab. It's locked."

"I don't remember ever seeing you around. But given the uniform...you go to the academy too, do you?"

"Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V isn't the sort of Pokémon that any old trainer can hope to command. It's special."

"You think you're up to ordering Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V around? Then how 'bout I test your worthiness?"

Yes: "Heh! Well, look at you—quite the little go-getter!"

No: "I'm saying I want to test you. You can't just leave me hanging here!"

"I've been feeling all out of sorts, so I'm gonna use this battle to blast these doldrums away!"

• In battle

"These memories are leaving a bad taste in my mouth—and I want it gone!"

• Upon being defeated

"Seems like you know a thing or two about battle."

• After being defeated

"I guess I wasn't ever going to stand a chance using some Pokémon I'd only just caught..."

"But if you really think you can take Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V off my hands for me...you'll need this. It's the Poké Ball that brute's been kept in."

"Anyway, that thing's your problem now, not mine. Good luck."

Naranja Academy^S/Uva Academy^V

"Oh, hey! So we meet again. You remember me, right?"

Oh, from the lighthouse!: "Yeah, exactly! That's my little know-it-all buddy! Got a mind like a steel trap, eh?"

I don't think we've met...: "What?! Come on, I gave you Koraidon's^S/Miraidon's^V Poké Ball! Did I forget to introduce myself...? Well, the name's Arven."

"No need to tell me your name. <player>, right? Whole school seems to be talking about you. The new kid who showed up with the president of the student council."

"I normally wouldn't even bother showing up for class, but I came all the way to school today just to talk with you—our new celebrity. You've gotta help me out so I can finally make my dream a reality!"

Happy to help!: "What kind of little maniac says yes to something without even knowing what they're agreeing to?!"

What's this dream, first?: "Hehehe... Caught your interest, have I? You want to hear all about my dream, right?"

"Well, this might come as a surprise, but fact is, I'm all about that picnic life: the great outdoors, the perfectly prepared sandwiches, all of it. Not half bad at cooking either, I can tell you. Right now I'm researching new recipes that'll help Pokémon feel better. Real health food, see. I found this book the other day, and it had a section about these Herba Mystica things..."

"Basically, they're some kind of special herbs that heal up any Pokémon as soon as it eats them! Now, there are a total of five different types of Herba Mystica, based on what I read. Just taking a little lick of them once they've been powdered will get your blood flowing, provide nutrients, prevent aging—it'll even boost the immune system! These herbs seem like they're the real deal. Only found here in Paldea—and rare to boot!"

"But this book says they're all guarded by Titan Pokémon, meaning that it's gonna be pretty tough to try to grab even a few sprigs. 'Cause, see Titans are— Well, I think they've gotta be...things like this!"

"I really want to get those herbs for myself, but...I'm not very good at Pokémon battles. Don't have any friends with strong Pokémon to lend me a hand, either... And I'd never hear the end of it if I went crawling to that student council girl..."

"But here you waltz up! You've got to help me out with this—you'd be perfect!"

"Nope! Wait! I don't need an answer yet! I'll just register the places where it seems there might be Titans in your map app for you."

"Let it stew a bit, and we can get more into the details later. And in the meantime...take this. A little gift for listening and all."

"Give the idea some serious thought! Please!"

Mesagoza

"Tch! How's that for a student council president! Giving your own friends an insider advantage?"

"<player>'s gonna have his/her hands full searching out Titan Pokémon with me. He/she doesn't have time to waste on something like chasing after the Champion Rank. Me and him/her are gonna be too busy visiting the lairs of Titans and nabbing their Herba Mystica!"

"Hey! All I did was invite him along. It's still up to <player> whether he/she goes, right?"

"Hm? <player>, your phone's ringing."

"That's right! Because he/she's got more important things to do, like searching out awesome ingredients with me!"

"What was that all about?"

"A treasure...of our very own... For me, that's got to be Ma— Er, my big dream of tracking down the Herba Mystica, that is! Once we get those herbs, I'll make you the absoluuute best sandwich you've had in your life!"

"Argh! What'd you come out for?"

"Well, you're not getting one..."

"Hmph... Yeah? Maybe. Well, if you're going to search for those Titan Pokémon, I'd say set out from the east gate!"

"Tch! Man, this is why I can't get along with you... I'm out of here! Catch up soon, little buddy!"

• When leaving Mesagoza towards the East Gate

"Hello? This is <player>'s phone, right? It's me—Arven! I was a bit worried 'bout whether or not you'd managed to set out yet."

"You did end up deciding to set out east, right? After leaving the school? If so, you're not that far from the area where the Stony Cliff Titan is said to make its lair. Stories say it clings to cliffs—practically becomes part of the stone—then attacks from above!"

"Though...maybe don't be staring up overhead all the time looking for a Titan, only to go tumbling off some cliff you didn't see."

"If that ever does happen, you can open your map app and call yourself a Flying Taxi to pick you up."

"Some of those rocky area are like a real maze, so try not to get lost, little buddy. And if you find a Titan, let me know!"

South Province (Area Three)

"Hey, <player>! So, from what I can gather, the Stony Cliff Titan likes to lurk somewhere in this rocky area. I had a look around, but I couldn't find any trace of it! Maybe it's way up high on a cliff or something?"

"...Nah, that's impossible! I don't think it'd be hiding somewhere that tricky, so don't go falling off any cliffs or anything trying to search it out somewhere too strange. Maybe just give your map app a look if you're feeling stumped? It's pretty handy!"

• Encountering Klawf the Stony Cliff Titan

"<player>! You found it?! And THAT thing's the Stony Cliff Titan?! No Klawf has got any business being that big! Is it gonna be even stronger now, after eating those herbs...? Let's watch ourselves, <player>!"

• In battle with Klawf the Stony Cliff Titan

"Well, this is looking a little rough. Shellder, let's serve up a helping of defeat—on the half shell!"

• After defeating Klawf the Stony Cliff Titan

"All right! Look at my little buddy, coming through like a champ! But these Titan Pokémon are...yeesh. I sure don't like having something so tough out to get me!"

"I bet somewhere in here there's more of that Herba Mystica the Titan was eating. Quick, let's have a look around before it comes back!"

"Now then, let's see... What does the book have to say? It says here that the Sweet Herba Mystica is good for gut health and that it helps aid digestion. Says it's great for stomachaches, too, or when you want to stimulate the ol' appetite!"

West Province (Area One)

"Yo, <player>! So from what I gather, seems like the Open Sky Titan lives somewhere up on this mountain... But there are all these crazy boulders raining down from the mountain, too! It's gonna be a little tricky to stand around and look for the Titan while dodging all those."

"I think you'll be sent flying if you get hit by a falling boulder—but maybe you could power your way through atop that brute of yours!"

• Encountering Bombirdier the Open Sky Titan

"<player>! You managed to get to the Titan somehow, huh? So that's the Open Sky Titan... Wait, is this Titan what's been dropping all those boulders?!"

"I was lucky enough to be able to sneak up here because it had all its attention on you, little bud!"

"It looks like it's trying to power itself up. Like with some kinda mystical Meal Power or something. So we'd better be ready to go all out!"

• In battle with Bombirdier the Open Sky Titan

"Trying to drop rocks on folks is dangerous! Let's give this thing a good taste of defeat!"

• After defeating Bombirdier the Open Sky Titan

"Yess! Way to go, <player>! Looks like we don't have to worry about any more boulders falling on us now, huh?"

"There has to be more of that Herba Mystica it ate in here. Let's hurry and find it before the Titan can come back for another go at us!"

"Now then, let's see... What does the book have to say? Bitter Herba Mystica's great for your circulation! It really gets the blood flowing! And that warms you right up, nice and toasty, even boosting the immune system! ...Or so it says."

Asado Desert

"Hey, <player>! Apparently this desert is home to the Quaking Earth Titan. Speaking of which, the ground's been shaking off and on and...urk...making me feel a bit sick..."

"Sorry, I'm gonna just sit down and rest a little before I get back to Titan hunting..."

After defeating the first Titan

"Watch your step. It's pretty dark..."

"No way! This is one of the Herba Mystica! It's exactly how it looked in the book!"

"YES! We actually found one! And it's all thanks to you, <player>!

"Now if I can just get him to eat some..."

"All right! Now it's my turn to show off what I can do. You're about to get a taste of my cooking!"

"Yeeeaaarrrghhh! Hiya! Hwatcha! Hyah!"

"Here you go! An Arven-original sandwich packed full of herbs! And I'll even give you a badge—y'know, as a thank-you for taking on that Titan Pokémon. I call it a Titan Badge. Made it myself, using a replica of the Gym Badges, see?"

"Argh! What's up with that thing?! It just comes out of its ball on its own whenever it wants?"

"...Hey now. No. That's not for you."

"Hey! I went through all the trouble of making that for you, and you just give it away?! I hope you realize that's all there was, so now there's none left for you..."

That's totally fine!: "Aw, come on! Now you're making me feel like I'm the selfish jerk here!"

Wait, really...?: "All right, all right! Don't look at me like that!"

"Here, you can have half of mine. But you'd better savor every last bite!"

"Huh? You already ate that whole thing? Wha—?! Hey, is it me or has this thing sort of...powered up somehow?

"Whoa! I can't believe it! The power of these herbs really is worth guarding! If they had that big an effect on your Pokémon, then I bet—"

"Uhhh... I bet it'll come in super handy for that Treasure Hunt assignment we've got! Yup! That's what I bet!"

"Well, you've both filled your bellies with some of my legendary sandwiches! Guess it's time to tidy everything up..."

"Oh, don't you worry about helping! After battling the Titan, you've earned a break! Just leave all this to me! Though I'd be much obliged if you'd get a start on searching out the remaining four Herba Mystica for us."

"I really owe you..."

"... ... ... OK. The coast is clear. You can come out now."

After defeating the second Titan

"If we're lucky, there'll be another herb here..."

"I knew it!"

"It really is here! This is one of the herbs, make no mistake!"

"Woo-hoo! We did it! Thanks, <player>!"

"If I can just slip this into a tasty sandwich and get him to eat some..."

"Well, what are we waiting for, <player>? It's time to dig in!"

"Let me whip something up for us!"

"Yeeeaaarrrt! Hiya! Huwatcha!"

"...And Bob's your uncle!"

"Here you go! My special, whimsical, herb-filled super sandwich! And it comes with a side of...Titan Badge! As a token of my gratitude, 'course!"

"Oh, come one! You again?!"

"Hmph. Is it trying to say thanks or something?"

"Well, good thing I made extra."

"You're helping me out a whole bunch with the hard stuff, so it's only fair that you get more. I definitely, absolutely did not make extra so that Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V could have a sandwich, OK?!"

"Did it grow stronger again?"

"Man, these Herba Mystica really do pack a punch, don't they? I mean...they'd better. Or else I'm really up the creek."

"Don't you dare touch that! That isn't for you!"

"Oh, uh...sorry. I shouldn't have shouted like that..."

"I guess I should at least tell you the full story, <player>. Come on out, bud..."

"This is Mabosstiff. My partner.

"Here you go, bud. Eat up. This sandwich should help you feel better. Slowly now. Take your time. Small bites are fine. Just chew nice and slow..."

"My buddy here was...hurt pretty bad a while ago. Real bad, in fact. He never really recovered.

Potions and things don't work?: "Nothing seems to help. Not Potions, not Pokémon Centers... Nothing."

Have you tried a Pokémon Center?: "They said this wasn't any regular old injury or illness..."

"Mabosstiff here is the only thing in the world I care about. The only thing... So, I promised that I'd make him better—whatever it takes."

"I searched online, I read books, I looked all over and tried every cure and remedy I could find. But nothing really worked. I'd almost given up hope... That's when I found out about the Herba Mystica!"

That book—what is it?: "I found it in my mom's^S/dad's^V lab."

You've done your research!: "Yeah. See, I found this book in my mom's^S/dad's^V lab..."

"It's this book full of crazy stories and legends and things—stuff nobody'd usually believe."

"But I believe it! I think what it says is true! And according to this book, eating all five Herba Mystica can cure anything that ails you! Case in point, Mabosstiff's paws were cold as ice before he ate that last herb. But they've warmed up a little now—I'm sure they have!"

"Oh! You done eating, bud?"

"H-hey! Mabosstiff! Can..can you see? Are your eyes open?! Yes! I did it! It...it's been so long since he was able to open his eyes! I was so worried... *sniff* Oh man, I—! I'm so—! I'm so glad!"

"*sniffle* Heh... Ehehehehe... Aw, look at him. Those fiery orange little eyes... Hard to even tell if they're open or not, but I know the difference!"

"The power of these herbs is amazing! I knew the book wasn't lying! I'm gonna bring Mabosstiff back to full health, I swear it! Oh..uh, yeah. So, that's my story. Three herbs to go. Let's find 'em together!"
