Quotes

"I am Gene, the Master of the Rock Club! Rock is good...Isn't rock good, ???...? Rock is hard and strong! Doesn't crumble under pressure! After you duel me, you'll know I'm right! Come! Show me what you're made of! Our duel will be played with 6 prizes! You won't get the Rock Medal unless you defeat me!"

"Wonderful... Your persistence - persistence that can even break rock - has led you to defeat me! You are worthy of receiving this Rock Medal! And take this booster pack, too. ...And another booster pack: Mystery."

"I look forward to the day we duel again!"
