Quotes
- Pokémon League
- "Well met, young challenger! Verily am I the Elite Four's famed blade of hardened Steel, Wikstrom! With my magnificent Pokémon at my side, I will reveal the scope of Trainer achievement! Let us both give our word that our contest shall be fair and honorable. Ready? En garde!"
- "Glorious! The trust that you share with your honorable Pokémon surpasses even mine!"
- "What now? What sweet, glorious pain and joy now rock my mighty heart? My will, which even shakes spears, trembles at so fine a battle as this! I am undone! Good sir/lady, you are indeed our equal-- and worthy to enter this lofty hall!"
- If battled first: "Easy, child. You need not explain. It is no mystery to me why you came to me first. Nature herself has framed man as such a creature that any would choose to face their strongest enemy before all others. Now, to the elevator with you! It burns with a desire to hasten you on your way!"
- If battled second: "So you have struck down two of the Elite Four! The road is still long. Do not waver now."
- If battled third: "Is your heart prepared for this? One last wall remains before you. You would do well to remember: defeat us, and then you will face the Champion in battle!"
- If battled last: "The time has come at last for your greatest challenge. Now show our Champion the same strength you have shown us!"

- "What manner of disaster be this? My heart, it doth hammer ceaselessly in my breast! At last do I understand that sweet torture, that perfect balance of joy and frustration!"

- "Whenever I'm away from home, my Klefki keeps the keys to my estate safe and sound."
- "At first, the little prankster made off with my keys, hid them where I couldn't find them..."
- "But when I defeated him in a Pokémon battle, he returned the keys to me without so much as a question."
- "It was then that I decided to entrust Klefki with my keys of my own accord... We have been jolly friends ever since."
-
- "No thief can steal my keys as long as Klefki is keeping them safe."
- "In fact, I would go so far as to say that my being able to walk about with such confidence here on Pasio..."
- "despite being so far away from my estate...is all thanks to Klefki."
