Atticus/Quotes

These are Atticus's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series games

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Navi Squad's Base

• Before battle

"Pray forgive my sudden entry. 'Tis I, Atticus! You're that scoundrel, <player>, I take it? You have some nerve baring your fangs at Team Star. Come, then, villainous wretch! A plunge into grim poison shall be your well-deserved fate. En garde!"

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "Naught but punishment awaits thee, wretch! A plague on your house!"

After first directly dealing damage to the player's Pokémon: "Certain moves can poison with a mere graze. Tremble, scoundrel, for thy Pokémon's sake."

Upon first using Revavroom's Sludge: "This next move is as splendid as it is insidious—behold as it gnaws its target away!"

Upon sending out the Navi Starmobile: "You think to give me a taste of mine own poison? Fie! I will fight on till the bitter end!"

• After being defeated

"Forgive me, my friends..."

• In a flashback after being defeated

"Forgive me. It took a goodly time to procure the required materials."

"Ah, yes. The move Flame Charge was my muse for those particular pieces."

"I merely wished to create a costume worthy of the great Infernal Eri. If it aligns with your vision, then I am content."

"The way of the ninja is rough and fraught with thorns. I neither expect nor desire sympathy from the unrefined rabble."

"Indeed it does. Henceforth, I will devote myself heart and soul to honing my battle skills."

• After the flashback

"For the sake of the team, I would give my very heart and soul...but I cannot defy the rules. Our code must be obeyed. And so, this badge is mine to keep no more. I entrust it to thy care."

"Take this contraption, too. It contains a technique that allows one to cover their foes in gunk.

"<player> is thy name, is it not? You have utterly bested me. But thy victory stir'd no bitterness within me—such was its brilliance."

"M-my compadre?"

"Whatever brought you all the way here?"

"... ... ..."

"Forgive me..."

"Nay, we've heard not a whisper since that fateful day... Without the big boss, Team Star cannot carry on. And without the team, the bright and merry student life we seek lies beyond our reach! We've no choice but to defend our bases till the big boss returns to us!"

"In truth, not one of us has met them in the flesh. By their own word, they are a recluse. As with the rest of us, 'twould seem bullying was to blame."

"Though their name and face be unknown to us, they are nonetheless our precious comrade. Our only choice is to maintain our vigils from the bases, awaiting the day of their return."

"My compadre... I owe you a great debt."

"Haaah... I believ'd Team Star to be the one and only treasure in my life... Methinks I may have been mistaken."

Team Star flashbacks

• After Giacomo is defeated

"I cannot help but concur... "Male students' hair must stray no further than 1.8 inches below the nape" and so forth... Your rules were vexation made manifest!"

"As would I!"

• After Mela is defeated

"Glad tidings indeed. Is it not so, Ortega?"

"And the big boss? What, pray, is their plan?"

• After Ortega is defeated

"Come, good fellow. 'Tis no occasion for melancholy. Why, to make such a remarkable contraption by thine own hand... Genius, thy name is Ortega!"

"But the hour of Operation Star is nigh at hand... Will you succeed in time?"

• After Eri is defeated

"Truly, you need not apologize, my lady. Thanks to thy sage instruction, I am making swift strides towards mastering the art of battle!"

"My lady...we four have each trained in our turn—but you, our steadfast mentor, have rested not once. I cannot help but worry for thy health."

• After Penny is defeated

"Indeed. Merely did we declare our intention to battle tooth and nail should the villains persist in their tyrannous oppression. 'Twas a bloodless victory, we assure you!"

"Oh, noble and kind big boss. You cannot..."

"Prithee, speak to us! What is thine intent?"

Naranja^S/Uva Academy^V

• In the schoolyard, after Penny is defeated

"Verily is thy long-hidden countenance a sight for sore eyes, my lady."

"Hasta la vistar, Cassiopeia! ☆ And hello, Penny!"

"O, mine heart is giddy with glee!"

"I cannot even begin to imagine how you must have fear'd for us, Lady Penny..."

"'Tis true... We would most happily have you at our sides, my lady."

• In the school store

"Hmmmmmm... I must say, the academy emporium stocks some rather splendid wares. I admit my expectations were far lower than warranted."

"Greetings, my good shopkeep. I would very much like to acquire the limited-edition ninja garments released today. I believe you have five sets in stock, yes?"

"What?! This cannot be!!!"

"If I am unable to procure those garments, why... I... That will ruin everything! It appears I have no choice but to track down this rival patron of mine! And when I find them..."

"I shall fix them with my piercing gaze and beg on bended knee for the ninja garments I so crave!"

"My young compadre! I...I must apologize. About the garments I promised you so that we might dress as ninja together..."

"...I beg your pardon?"

"Goodness me... What a happy turn of events! I shall retrieve my shuriken from my quarters so that we might enjoy some target practice!"

"I can also use my masterful stitchery to transform thy ninja garments into a sublime vision of poison! What say you?"

"Ha ha ha! The insolence of this one!"

Navi Squad's Base

• Upon initiating a Star Barrage rematch

"Thy goal is 50 Pokémon, to be defeated in the span of 10 fleeting minutes. Hark, Navi Squad, my knights o'th' battle! The time for feast and sport is upon us!"

• Upon losing or forfeiting a Star Barrage rematch

"My subordinates have grown strong. I would advise thee to likewise look to thy training."

• Upon winning a Star Barrage rematch

"The defeat of 50 Pokémon by thy hand took...<number> minute(s) and <number> second(s) precisely!"

"Take <number> LP as a most deserved reward. Hasta la vistar, my good fellow! ☆"

• When approached

"Why, if it is not <player>!"

• If spoken to

"Good day, <player>. Com'st thou to spar with me?"

Yes: "Though I am grateful for thy coming here, be warned—I shall spare thee no mercy! En garde!"

No: "More's the pity..."

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon: "There is no night nor day that I do not spend in training! Behold the fruits of my labor!"

Upon first using Revavroom's Poison Jab: "I shall show thee the truest essence of poison! Tremble 'fore its grim and deadly beauty!"

Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "Even a single drop of poison can kill! 'Tis far too early to rest assured of thy victory."

Upon being defeated: "Strength of position cannot prevail o'er strength of union. How could I forget?"

• After being defeated

"You came here to train, yet I am the one who must learn from YOU. Magnificent! Hasta la vistar, my good fellow! ☆"

• If spoken to again on the same day

"I shall take no more challenges today. Return on the morrow to battle again, should you wish."
